5 Things You Never Knew About Drake
Ever wanted to know more about your favorite celebrity?? Drizzy sat down and let his fans in on 5 things you may not know about the Young Money rapper...check em out
1. He was humbled watching Jay-Z perform last year
Drake said that seeing Jay-Z come on stage right after he performed "Best I Ever Had," made him feel "like a small little child." He said: "I looked down at myself and I was wearing like a pink sweater and some cargo pants and Jay-Z came out in the nastiest black outfit and shut the stadium down. It was humbling. You still have a long way to go, but it was great."
2. His dream collaboration is Sade and Andre 3000
Teaming up with Sade and Andre is an ideal match for Drake, who said he's "fighting to make that happen." He said: "Both of them are hard to find, actually. I think it's possible. If it happens, I think it would be legendary. That's my ideal. That's my one that I'm waiting on."
3. He frequently sings about love even if it mystifies him
Drake said: "I feel like I've said 'I love you' but I don't know if I understand it yet. I write about it and I try and make sense of it, but I'm not really sure. I thought I would by now, but maybe it's not meant for me to understand yet."
4. Judd Apatow and Michael Cera are his favorite Hollywood stars
Drake: "Basically, I'm a fan of the Judd Apatow comedies. I love to laugh. I'll watch 40-Year-Old Virgin, Superbad, Juno - anything with Michael Cera. I really like when I go to the movies for it be an experience where I can enjoy myself."
5. He doesn't think he's photogenic
Drake tends to "cringe" when he sees his own pictures. He said: "I feel like I photograph different from the way I actually look. That's just something I come to the realization. When I catch photographs, I just look, like, real old or something. People see me in person and say casually, 'Oh, you look better in person.' "

Whitening teeth using peroxide bleaching compounds has become an extremely popular procedure, both with dental patients and dentists alike. While there are many variations on this whitening technique, two of the broadest categories encompassed are professional teeth whitening treatments and at home teeth whitening systems. While both of these teeth bleaching approaches can offer similar whitening results there are distinct advantages and disadvantages to each of them.
Reviews agree that professional tooth-whitening treatments are, by far, the quickest and most successful way to brighten teeth. Over-the-counter whitening systems are much cheaper, but not nearly as effective or long lasting as professional tooth-whitening.
Most at-home kits rely on trays or stick-on strips. The GoSmile system consists of individual tubes of gel (with 6% peroxide) that come with a small brush. Experts agree that some tooth-whitening products can produce dramatic results. The vast majority agree that in-office teeth-whitening by your dentist works best, but opinions vary widely on whether over-the-counter strips, pastes, chewing gum, trays and paint-on liquids really work. Baby boomers have become a huge market for teeth-whiteners because teeth yellow naturally with age. The effect can be exacerbated by smoking, as well as by drinking coffee, tea and red wine. The most effective teeth-whitening agents use peroxide (hydrogen or carbamide) to bleach the deep layers of teeth where toothpaste can't reach.
Systems Comparison for Tooth Whitening
Rapid White tooth Whitening System After feeling like having been pregnant for ages and generally not feeling like myself, I took a step back and realised how I am going to look in all these photographs that are to be taken at the birth of my son! Not only will I look tired out but my hair will be a state, my eyebrows over grown and my teeth a creamier shade than is necessarily flattering.
Systems of Teeth Whitening
A teeth whitening system can either employ a low concentration whitener for an extended period of time or else a higher concentration whitener for a comparatively shorter period of time.
I looked at a few different sites that sell similar teeth whitening products, Brilliant Smiles had the clearest and most professional site which gave me a level of trust that the other sites didn't provide. I called up their number and ordered over the phone. The teeth whitening kit turned up within days.

On to the crappy movies.....I'm not sure how
this tradition got started, but last year it was Bubba Ho-Tep
and Dorm Daze....this year we had to top them, and we
succeeded. We started out with Frostbite....absolutely
horrible. Then we moved on to Malibu Spring Break.
I read the reviews on imdb.com but couldn't believe it was
that bad....it was. Some brief nudity made it ok, but
the acting was about the worst I have ever seen. How
do you top those two movies? National Lampoon's
GoldDiggers. Fast forwarding to the two brief topless
shots was still an agonizing waste of time - none of these
were worth the cost of the dvd's they were on....do yourself
a favor, avoid them - they really are THAT bad....
And of course what LBI vacation would be
complete without me building some sandcastles....I've moved
up a bit and bought a kit from
- yeah I know it sounds stupid, but some of the tools they
give you really are helpful. More importantly was the
video that came with the kit really - I only wish I watched
it sooner. I have to get some more tools and
accessories for next year so I can build bigger/higher, but
I'm making progress and it is very relaxing. I've
never claimed to have an artistic bone in my body, but if I
get an image in my head I can copy it - so day2 was spent
trying to copy the castle they built in the video and I
think I did a pretty decent job.
To make things even better, the homeowners
listened to our idea and put in a cable modem so we all had
access during the week - next year we're going to bring down
a wireless router so we can have access on the porch, and it
should reach the beach which would be cool. While it's
always a great time, it's good to be home to the dogs and
getting things back in order around the house.

text: Gladewater, Texas is 13 miles west of Longview on the boundary between Gregg and Upshur counties. Gladewater was founded by the Texas and Pacific Railway Company in 1873, and the same year a post office was established. The town takes its name from a stream that rose in a rather barren region called Glade Creek.On April 7, 1931, the first Gladewater oil well blew in about a mile from town. Being near the center of the 1930s oil boom in East Texas, Gladewater didn't feel the effects of the depression, but the slump of the 1980s had a deep impact on the town. Buildings remained empty for several years until the town was transformed into the Antique Capital of East Texas.

Pond's recently launched its newest breakthrough product, and I am so excited to be part of it! (This is what I've been hinting to you guys last month!) It is revolutionary and super hardworking, as it acts as your moisturizer, makeup and sunblock in one. It is perfect for us ladies on the go. It cuts our morning prep time in half, while still getting the results we want, which is a smooth and even complexion. The wonder product is called POND'S BB+ CREAM, and I think it may be the best innovation of Pond's yet!
Now, I know BB creams (BB means beauty balm, by the way) are nothing new. The market is teeming with different versions of the product, with Korean brands leading the pack. You would think that it was invented in Korea, but actually the beauty balm was formulated by a German dermatologist, Dr. Christine Schrammek in the 1950s, who used the cream to protect and provide natural light coverage for the sensitive skin of patients who had just undergone laser treatments and surgery. It was made popular in Korea a few years ago, when a famous actress got into a car accident and had to have her face surgically reconstructed. In just a matter of weeks, her skin was glowing and she became more beautiful than she was before the accident. She, of course, attributed her new beauty to the BB cream, and unintentionally started a growing trend across Asia, mesmerizing practically every woman who have tried it.
And now, Pond's finally introduces the next generation in skin perfection: Pond's BB+ cream offers a powerhouse of benefits, providing skin with a radiant glow, instant natural coverage and superior sun protection of SPA 30 PA++. It is available in Flawless White (brightens skin and reduces dark spots) and Age Miracle (an anti-aging solution that reduces wrinkles and fine lines). This by the way, is my latest endorsement, and I am so happy, excited and proud to be representing this amazing product!
The launch was just last week, and was attended by Pond's skincare ambassadors, celebrities, media and bloggers. It was a fun and pretty garden party (pretty because everyone was dressed in summer florals), with yummy food and outstanding entertainment the entire afternoon.

Conference Systems to Buy or Rent
AudioLinks Sells & Rents Top-of-the-Line Conference Equipment, Including Voting Systems!
Our state-of-the-art conferencing systems will give you all the tools you need to ensure your meeting, conference, or international event runs smoothly and efficently . Different systems come equipped with voting capabilities, interpretation features, central control units that can sync to laptops, ipads, and smartphones, as well as recording and transcription capabilities. Whatever your needs are, AudioLinks has a system for you.
Interpreting Systems
Interpreting systems allow one or more languages to be interpreted to a group of people who do not speak the floor language. An interpreter listens to a speaker through headphones using an isolated audio feed then verbally translates the target language to conference receivers – either wired or wireless. AudioLinks offers interpreting systems via use with conference and delegate microphone systems as well as in the form of portable wireless RF or infrared systems. Whether or not you want to buy a full, ready-to-use interpreting system or individual components to create your own ideal system, AudioLinks can help find exactly what you need.
Delegate Microphone & DCN Systems
Delegate microphones and DCN (Digital Conference Network) systems (also called boardroom microphones, conference microphones or boundary push-to-talk microphones) promote interactive discussions among conference attendees while allowing the chairman to control the flow of the meeting. Delegate microphones  can be used for interpreting applications, voting, or simply to maintain organized and clear conversations for members at a meeting. AudioLinks allows you to purchase a full, ready-to-use conference microphone system or to buy chairman microphone units, delegate microphone units, and control units separately to create the ideal conference microphone system for your specific needs.
Voting Systems
Voting systems allow members of meetings to have organized and easy to hear discussions among conference attendees, much like with delegate microphone and DCN systems, but with the added benefit of voting capabilities. Board members and meeting attendees to vote in a secure and confidential way as long as they have the required software programs to run them. AudioLinks allows you to purchase a full, ready-to-use voting microphone system or to buy chairman microphone units, delegate microphone units, and control units separately to create the ideal voting system for your specific needs.
Intercom Packages
AudioLinks has a variety of intercom systems that will suit any size group that requires fully two-way communication. These systems will keep your production team connected at all times with secure connections, crystal clear audio quality, and full mobility. Headset options allow you to choose the ideal comfort and noise cancelling level for your venue.
Lecterns and Podiums
Lecterns and podiums allow a speaker to address a large group of people at once during a conference or meeting. AudioLinksÔÇÖ lecterns and podiums for conferences and meetings include PA systems and come in a range of colors and with features including portability, wireless microphones, storage, reading lamps, and more.
Conference System Accessories
Conference system accessories include gooseneck microphones, headsets and headphones, cases, chargers, cables, and anything else you might need to build a perfect conference system!
Conference System Rentals
There are a few advantages of renting rather than buying a conference system, but the primary reasons are that a rental can dramatically reduce your capital outlay, eliminate the ongoing need for maintenance and storage, and, insofar as a rental uses professionally trained technicians and engineers, you benefit from a high degree of reliability and professional event management.
AudioLinks also offers audio rentals on a lease to buy option that allows you to field test equipment solutions before making a major purchase. Additionally, AudioLinks has extensive experience providing conference interpreting in support of high-profile complex events. The events range in size from fewer than 50 people to conventions with over 10,000 attendees.
The AudioLinks technical staff can recommend customized solutions for virtually any conference need, no matter how large or small. AudioLinks has provided superior conference services and A/V equipment for more than two decades and continues to serve corporate, non-profit and government clientele both in North and South America, Europe and Asia.

We are able to draw on many years of experience and long term relationship's with various insurers.

In the age of the Internet and virtual office spaces, one of the hallmarks of a well-established business is a landline. Although your stakeholders and clients can always reach with you via email and mobile phones, having this line helps to legitimize your organization in the eyes of prospective customers. Fortunately, startup companies can get an incredibly cost-effective and reliable solution for their business communication needs by choosing VoIP phone systems instead. Following are three, impressive benefits that these cutting-edge services can provide.
Lower Per-Call Costs
Much like its name suggests, VoIP or voice over Internet Protocol uses the Internet to make and receive calls. Rather than using traditional telephone lines, these systems convert communication data into portable packets that are then transported over the IP network that the system user relies on. This might be a direct IP connection to the business phone service provider, your regular Internet connection, or both of these things together. The result is significantly lower per-call costs, even when conducting phone conversations in other parts of the country or with people on the other side of the world. Conversely, traditional landlines require a single line to be dedicated to the callers who are using it. Given that only a very limited number of lines can be installed and used with this communication method, phone calls, especially long distances phone calls, can quickly become expensive.
VoIP Phone Services Are Entirely Mobile
When businesses use the services for VoIP Pasco County FL companies provide, they'll have the benefit of entirely portable phone systems. This means that key players can continue making and receiving calls even when they're out of the office. There are virtually no physical limitations with these systems and thus, if you have a mobile business or a mobile aspect to your operations, you can rest assured that your clients and stakeholders can still get in contact with you, no matter where you happen to be.
Companies Can Enjoy A Very Versatile Range Of Business Phone Features
With these phone systems, multi-tasking is incredibly easy. It's possible to pour through transcriptions of voicemail to text messages that have been transferred directly to your email account. Best of all, you can do this while holding a call in your queue, forwarding messages, and taking care of many other communications tasks. VoIp solutions also make conference calls incredibly easy given that there is no need to set up any complex or special equipment. Instead, all these calls will rely on a simple, converged network for the movement of data rather than using multiple, dedicated lines.

Jeffrey Hamelman's Golden Raisin Loaf
This is a delicious tasting bread, even with all my mess up's making it...I forgot to put in my levain....it was sitting under my arm and I kept ignoring it..until all was mixed. Then I added it ..... Yikes! Well, it seemed to be okay. I could have just started over with a fresh batch of ingredients. I will have to lower my oven temperature..it came out a little dark and about 5 or 10 minutes longer in a lower temperature oven..I Think..might have been better...Anyway, Im going to blame it all on the ill feeling I have been having all day since we ate out last night!! We won't be going back to that resturant! The best thing and only thing I have had all day is the cantelope and a slice of this still slightly warm bread. I love the oatmeal in this formula and I used KA organic white wheat. The levain definately adds a lovely tone! I can just imagine how good this bread will be next time around! :)

Parents often ask us about ideal foods for different stages and our recipe pages are not yet as comprehensive as we would like, so we have compiled this list as a reference. We will update it as we get new ideas or new information.
Eating at 6-8 months
We recommend making all, or as much food as possible from scratch out of fresh, organic vegetables, fish and pastured meats and avoiding processed foods. Your baby's digestive system may still not be able to handle starchy foods at this age, though some can. Regardless of whether your baby can digest grains or not, since babies this age usually eat small amounts we think that it is best to prioritize foods which are naturally high in nutrients over cereals. These include meat, organ meat, avocados, egg yolk and oily fish.
There is one exception to this. The latest studies seem to show that it is best to introduce gluten between 4 and 7 months and preferably whilst you are still breastfeeding to reduce the risk of gluten intolerance (Chmieliewska, 2013) and wheat allergy (Poole, 2006). The timing of introduction seems to be the most important factor when it comes to wheat allergy. If you haven't introduced wheat or gluten yet (note that the WHO still recommends breastfeeding as part of a mixed foods diet until the age of 2 years) we recommend that you introduce foods containing gluten as soon as possible and preferably before you stop breastfeeding.
Table of superfoods 6-8 months
The below table is a list of nutrient-dense whole foods that you could include in your child's diet at this age. It is by no means exhaustive. At 6-8 months, the amount of solid foods babies eat will vary widely from child to child and from week to week but nutrient requirements are high. A baby might be teething, growing, not feeling well or just going through a fussy phase.
A varied diet, rich in body-building nutrients is your goal. If your child eats very small amounts you may wish to prioritize nutrient-dense foods such as pure cod roe, meat and offal, egg yolk, high-fat fruit like avocado and coconut as well as organic fruits and vegetables. This is because they are more calorie and nutrient-dense.
|Meat and Fish
|Herbs & Spices
|Fats and oils
|Apple (steamed)
|Avocado oil
|Beef livers
|Butter (grass-fed)
|Butternut squash
|Coconut oil
|Chicken livers (steamed)
|Cod Liver Oil (fermented)
|Cod Roe
|Olive oil
|Brussels Sprouts
|Egg yolk
|Green beans
|Onions (small amounts)
|Sweet potatoes
|Winter squash
A note about introducing solid foods
Baby-led weaning is all the rage these days and we think it is great to encourage children to eat by themselves as early as possible. However, every child is different and the most important thing is that your baby eats a wide variety of flavours and nutrients. So long as you watch for your baby's cues, we do not think it matters whether you spoon feed, let baby eat pureed food himself or give him chunks (or a combination). In our opinion a combination is ideal because you can blend in many more herbs, spices and flavours into purees in early weaning.
Vegetables can be roughly pureed (not extremely smooth) and blended or mashed with a few drops of olive or avocado oil, some herbs and perhaps a chunk of soft, ripe avocado. You can also give your child chunks of food which he can pick up and eat by himself and give him a spoon and baby fork so that he can learn to eat alone. It will be messy at first, but the development of his motor skills makes it worthwhile.
Asparagus is an excellent source of Vitamin K, which helps build strong bones. It contains inulin which promotes good bacteria in the gut and saponins, which are anti-inflammatory. It is a great early food for babies because as well as being very healthy, it has a slightly bitter taste. It is a good idea to introduce bitter foods early to babies during this often enthusiastic eating phase.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Steam and then puree with another slightly sweet fruit or vegetable such as avocado, carrots, pumpkin sweet potato and a protein such as chicken or salmon and some herbs such as rosemary, thyme or basil; serve in tiny pieces if your baby is able to pick them up himself. Add tiny slices to soups, stews or even bolognese sauce.
Asparagus recipes 6-8 months
Sweet Vegetable Puree
Butternut squash is extremely high in immune-protective, natural sunscreen beta-carotene and an abundant source of antioxidants, fibre, Vitamin C, manganese, Vitamin B6, potassium and Vitamin K. It is a perfect early food because it is sweet, soft and easy to cook.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Mix with some fat such as avocado or olive oil for better nutrient absorption and for taste. It can be mixed with other vegetables such as carrots or parsnips and any kind of meat.
Butternut squash recipes 6-8 months
Butternut Squash Soup
Basil leaves are an excellent source of Vitamin K and beta-carotene and a good source of manganese, copper and Vitamin C. The Basil plant contains numerous flavanoids and volatile oils. It is particularly good for children because essential oil of basil has been shown to inhibit several strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
How to serve to babies at 8-12 months
Add to soups and purees, scrambled eggs, omelettes and muffins. Babies this age cannot chew leaves and can choke on them, so it is important to chop or blend it into very small pieces or liquid.
Basil recipes 8-12 months:
Coming soon
Beetroot is very high in folate and manganese and a good source of potassium, copper, magnesium, phosphorous, vitamin C and iron. They are very high in a very wide range of antioxidants. They also have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects in the body and have recently been shown to lower blood pressure and increase athletic performance. It used o be thought that beets should not be served to children under 1 year of age because of their naturally high nitrate content but this is no longer the case. For more information click here.
How to serve to babies at 8-12 months
In beetroot burgers, as hummus, in omelettes or just steamed and cubed or pureed. Beetroot is a bit messy and it can
stain, so use good bib or remove clothing before serving it.
Beetroot recipes 8-12 months:
Beetroot Burger Recipe
Broccoli is very high in Vitamins C and K as well as a good source of folate, Vitamin A and fibre. It is therefore a superfood for babies and children who need lots of Vitamin K to help build their growing bones. Because it contains cellulose and fibre it might cause gas in some children, so introduce it in small amounts to start with.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Steam and mash or puree with other vegetables such as carrots, parsnip and/or pumpkin. Mash in some avocado or drizzle avocado oil over as a source of good fats. Add some protein like pastured chicken, fish or a teaspoon of steamed liver; Steam and offer as pieces to hold and chew.
Broccoli recipes 6-8 months
Sweet Vegetable Puree
Apple, Blueberry and Broccoli puree
Carrots contain extremely high levels of immune-protective, mild natural sunscreen beta-carotene and are extremely effective in lowering CVD risk according to recent research (Potter, 2011). Carrots are a great first food, because they are sweet as well as healthy and mix well with many other foods.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Steam them. Steaming them whole retains more nutrients than chopping them up first (2). After steaming you can puree roughly or mash with a fork and combine them with a fat such as avocado or avocado oil. Mix in some other vegetables such as steamed parsnip and green beans for a mixed-vegetable puree, add a small amount of protein from the list below and you have a meal. You can also steam until very soft and offer your baby chunks to feed himself.
Carrot recipes 6-8 months
Sweet pepper, carrot and parsnip
Sweet Vegetable Puree
Cucumbers are high in Vitamin K and lignans and their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have repeatedly been confirmed in animal studies. The skin is very nutritious but the middle part is soft and a great first food.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Peel off the skin and chop out the central, soft watery inside flesh. Blend into a juice or just chop into tiny pieces. Use the leftover skin and harder cucumber flesh in your own salad.
Haricot verts, or green beans, are very high in Vitamin C, K and A as well as manganese and fibre.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Add to soups, stews and purees. Green beans can be stringy and their long, thin shape can be a choking hazard, so be careful to blend well or remove any strings and chop up into small pieces.
Parsnip contains poly-acetylene anti-oxidants and is high in Vitamin C, B and folate. It is higher in natural sugars than other vegetables but it is a great first food for babies because it is sweet and can be quickly steamed until soft.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Offering chunks of soft parsnip or puree it with other vegetables like carrots. Add some good fats in the form of olive or avocado oil, or avocado flesh and herbs such as basil or oregano plus a spoonful of protein from the list below.
Parsnip recipes 6-8 months
Sweet pepper, carrot and parsnip puree
Winter squash is extremely high in immune-protective, mild natural sunscreen beta-carotene and is an abundant source of antioxidants, fibre, Vitamin C, manganese, Vitamin B6, potassium and Vitamin K. Winter squash is a perfect early food because it is sweet-tasting, so babies love it.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Winter squash is ideal served mixed with some fat such as avocado or olive oil for better nutrient absorption and for taste. It can be mixed with other vegetables such as carrots or parsnips and any kind of meat. We prepare winter or kabocha squash by roasting it whole for 20 minutes until soft enough to slice. We slice the squash, completely remove the innards, sprinkle cinnamon and drizzle olive oil over it, roast another 20 minutes until it is soft and then serve cubed in salads, as a mash or as a side dish.
Pumpkin recipes 6-8 months
Summer squashes like zucchini are very high in vitamin C, Molybdenum and Vitamin B6 as well as many other nutrients.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Summer squash is soft, easy and quick to steam so it is perfect when you are in a rush. It can be made into soups, added to purees or served in big chunks. It is so soft that babies can eat well-steamed chunks of summer squash from the time they begin to eat.
Zucchini recipes 6-8 months
Sweet Vegetable Puree
APPLE (steamed) FOR BABIES
Apples are high in pectin, phytonutrients and polyphenols. They are delicious steamed or served fresh and steamed apples can be pureed to make a delicious (but very sweet) apple sauce. Children love the taste of apple.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Peel, core, chop into thick slices and steam for a few minutes until soft. Puree or offer cooled pieces if they are very soft. You can also blend them with vegetables such as carrots or other fruits like blackberries or raspberries or avocados. Frozen berries should be boiled for one minute under current recommendations.
Apple recipes 6-8 months
Homemade apple sauce
Avocado is extremely high in fibre and is also high in Vitamin K, Folate, Vitamin C, Vitamin B5 and potassium. It is full of good fats and adding it to salads or purees or just serving as a side dish may help to absorb many more nutrients from food (Unlu, 2005). For that reason we consider it the ideal first fruit. As well as being very healthy, a ripe avocado is soft and can be added to other foods or eaten in small pieces. The high fibre content makes it healthy, but eating a lot *may* make stools a bit loose for the first day or so.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Mashed into other vegetables to enhance their nutrient absorption or given as soft pieces which babies can eat themselves.
Avocado recipes 6-8 months:
Salmon and pea puree
Apricot is high in iron, beta-carotene and fibre. It also contains tryptophan, a mood-boosting nutrient. Apricots are ideal early foods because of their nutrient profiles and because they are soft and sweet and children love them.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Serve soft apricots raw. Peel for small babies and chop them into small chunks or puree if your child has trouble eating lumps.
Cantaloupe is extremely high in Vitamins A and C. It is a good source of potassium, folate and polyphenols. Cantaloupe is a great first food because it is very sweet and soft. Babies love eating chunks of ripe, juicy melon, spilling the juices all down their faces in the process.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Very ripe, raw and in very small pieces, or pureed with a little water or oatmilk. Melon pieces are perfect for a picnic or a quick, messy snack. Like many fruits melons are high in natural sugars so it is a good idea to blend them with an avocado or serve as a combination of cucumber and/or avocado chunks to avoid too much of a sugar hit.
Peaches contain a lot of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Babies love their sweet flavour.

Like many fruits peaches are high in natural sugars so it is a good idea to blend them with an avocado or serve as a combination of cucumber and/or avocado chunks to avoid too much of a sugar hit.
Papaya is extremely high in Vitamins C and A. It is also very high in folate, potassium and fibre. They contain papain, an enzyme that helps to digest proteins. The antioxidants in papaya have been shown to protect against oxidation and free radicals in the body and the folic acid and fibre help with the processing of cholesterol.

Blueberries are extremely high in antioxidants, Vitamin K, manganese and Vitamin C. Wild blueberries can taste bitter and your child might pull a funny face at first, but we believe that introducing bitter tastes at an early age will minimize fussiness later.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Frozen or fresh blueberries can be added to salads or fruit salads, chopped and added to yogurt, pureed alone or with other fruits or mixed into a smoothie. They can be served warm or cold.
Like other berries, blackberries are extremely high in Vitamin C and other antioxidants. But there are many powerful compounds in blackberries, including ellagic acid, anthocyanins, catechins and phytochemicals. They have all be shown to protect against damage in the body and prevent modern diseases such as cancer.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Frozen or fresh blackberries can be added to salads or fruit salads, chopped and added to yogurt, pureed alone or with other fruits or mixed into a smoothie. They can be served warm or cold. According to current recommendations, frozen berries should be boiled before using.
Raspberries are a rich source of over 25 important phytonutrients – in significant quantities – and an excellent source of vitamins C and K as well as Manganese. Raspberries can taste bitter and your child might pull a funny face at first, but we believe that introducing bitter tastes at an early age will minimize fussiness later.

Plums are high in antioxidants such as Vitamin C as well as being a good source of fibre, potassium and Vitamins K and A.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Very ripe (soft) and raw. Puree with the skins or remove skins and cut into very small pieces (3-4 mm).
Meat and Fish (organic/grass-fed)
Beef is a controversial food, both because it contains a lot of saturated fat and because many studies have linked meat – red meat consumption in particular – with human disease. But the studies are flawed because red meat and processed meat have always been studied together and participants who ate a lot of red meat were also more likely to indulge in other unhealthy habits. No study has looked exclusively at grass-fed/pastured beef in particular. There are many advantages to consuming grass-fed beef. It has twice the amount of beta-carotene and lutein than grain-fed beef. It also contains a large amount of heart-healthy CLA, as well as Vitamin B12, Zinc, iron and other essential B vitamins.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Shred it in a food processor or with your hands and add a tablespoon or so to vegetable purees; Serve shredded/chopped into tiny pieces as a finger food. Avoid serving meat with high-calcium foods like dairy (e.g. milk-based sauces) because calcium interferes with iron absorption.
Pastured chicken means that the animals spend their time outside – foraging, grazing and getting their protein from bugs and worms. You can read more about pastured vs free-range and organic here (link). Chicken is an excellent source of tryptophan, Vitamin B3, Protein and Selenium, Vitamin B6, Phosphorous and Choline. Children love it for its mild taste and texture. It is an ideal early food because it is soft when steamed or roasted and can be shredded easily.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Shred into small pieces and puree with vegetables or – for those who are baby-led weaning – serve in tiny pieces at this age.

CHICKEN/CALF LIVERS (from pastured animals) FOR BABIES
Animal livers from healthy, pastured animals contain high levels of essential nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamins B12, B5,B3, B6, copper, tryptophan, choline, folate, zinc and iron. The high Vitamin A content is excellent for the immune system, but it also means that liver should be eaten in small amounts at this age, perhaps a teaspoon of grated steamed liver, once per week, at most.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Steam or dry-fry until cooked through and serve grated into a vegetable puree.
Egg yolk is an excellent source of choline, omega 3 fats, tryptophan and selenium and a good source of iodine, B-vitamins, protein and molybdenum. Mashing it into a puree is a delicious, quick and convenient way of adding protein to a baby's food. At this age you can introduce the whole egg so long as there is no history of allergies.
How to serve at 6-8 months
We serve our egg yolks runny because runny egg yolks are more nutritious – and delicious – and modern farming techniques has significantly decreased the likelihood of salmonella infection. However, the official recommendation is still to fully cook the yolks, so we recommend that you do that, particularly at this age. You can boil an egg and mash it with avocado oil and balsamic vinegar: serve boiled egg whole and let baby bite into it; crack it into a pan and scramble it in some olive or avocado oil.

LAMB (grassfed/pastured) FOR BABIES
Grass-fed lamb is an excellent source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which has been shown in many studies to be highly beneficial to health. It is a great source of tryptophan, protein, selenium, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B3, Zinc and Phosphorus.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Shredded and added to a vegetable puree; stewed until very soft and offered as tiny pieces. In a tagine with softened dried fruits.
Haddock is an excellent source of protein and essential vitamins, including B vitamins folate, riboflavin, thiamin and panthothenic acid. It also contains phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, sodium, zinc, copper and manganese
Haddock is a mild-tasting fish, which has a low mercury content so it is an ideal early food.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Cook in the oven on a medium heat and flake into a puree, or serve as finger food. Be careful to remove all bones before serving.
Oils and fats
COCONUT OIL (organic, cold-pressed) FOR BABIES
Organic, cold-pressed virgin coconut oil is making a comeback as a health food having been criticized because of its high saturated fat content. Coconut oil is high in medium chain fatty acids, such as Lauric acid, which are easily digested. The body converts Lauric acid into Monolaurin, which has numerous health benefits including improved immunity against disease. However, no reliable, peer-reviewed scientific study has corroborated the acclaimed benefits of coconut oil. Like all fats, coconut oil is probably best consumed in moderation. Always buy cold-pressed virgin coconut oil.
How to serve to babies at 6-8 months
Virgin Coconut oil can be used in all kinds of dishes in the place of other fats. You can cook with it, make raw chocolate with it and use it in cakes in place of butter.
Avocado oil is a great source of carotenoids. Studies show that antioxidants like lycopene and beta-carotene are absorbed better from a salad that includes avocado. It is fibre-rich and very high in Vitamin K, folate and Vitamins C, B5 and B6 as well as potassium. It has a wonderful rich flavour and tastes delicious.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Saute or roast vegetables in it; drizzle it on salads or use to make dressing; mash it up with eggs and balsamic vinegar as a healthy alternative to egg mayonnaise; use it in baking or cooking instead of other oils.
Cod Liver Oil (clo) is an old staple and was a common childhood tonic for many years. In the 1990s concerns were raised about the levels of Vitamin A in CLO and doctors stopped recommending it. FOR BABIES A good quality Cod Liver Oil with its natural vitamin ratio preserved is an excellent source of nutrients. The only one we know of is Blue Ice Cod Liver Oil. This is the one we take at home.
How to serve at 6-8 months
Mix the recommended dose well with a glass of oat milk and serve. Tell your children it is a special golden juice. My children love it.

See the ocean: it does not run after its own waves, as it knows they must return to rest in her depths. And so it is for us: whether we speak of joy, peace, strength, or love itself — no greater illusion exists than that we should somehow find, searching outside of ourselves, the source of our True Self.
Much as ocean tides surge and ebb upon waiting shores – always changing, yet changing nothing – your True Self is greater than any wave of thoughts or feelings that pass through it.

i like red / black combo like TED
i like the branding of ted, have also included some others files.
i would like to explore uses of just
'Simon' as well as 'Si' in a box, also Simon Lovell together but maybe separate colors.
There's so many uses and things you can do with Simon Lovell so i would like to see some creativity but also simplicity.
The brand should appeal to people who read Forbes, Success, Inc, Entrepreneur etc and be into other experts like Tony Robbins.
The audience will already partially be into personal growth, development.
I would also like to see the SI on its own as an emblem like Grant Cardone's GC. Also people say to me 'Hey Si' so maybe could have that included someehow.

This has been a relaxing day, for the most part. Have cared for Smudge, Loki, Baxter and Casey, and the resident gang (Cinder, Smokey, Sam, Taffy the guinea pig, and the chickens).
It just occurred to me that Gary made his own breakfast, coffee for the two of us, and warmed leftover pizza for lunch for both of us! Gasp. When I proffered this observation to Gary, he exclaimed, "Dereliction of duty!", and, smiling, retreated to the bedroom for a nap.
I'm not even cooking tonight, as we have decided to meet Zev and Sharon for Chinese smorg.
Part of what occupied my time today involved sorting of photos on the computer. It wouldn't be possible for most people to sort all of the images, as there are 11,000. But I gave it a whirl, and labelled some that weren't labelled.
A few weeks ago, Pete asked about my website, Robson Valley Pet Hostel . He was amazed at the number of pet portraits featured there, and asked if, were he to point to any one of them, could I say the pet's name? I said that I thought so. Almost any one, I believed.
Now I'm humbled a bit. Even of the thousands of pet photos in our 'Photo' program, I can name many, but not all. The thing to do is to attach names to each and every download from the camera, every time. The camera and computer do an impressive job of identifying the place and time of the pics, but of course most of the pet pictures are taken at the Pet Hostel. If I got out all of my appointment books, I could label a few more than by memory alone.
The other factor that was wearying was to realize how many of my animal friends are "gone now". This goes for a few of the photos of humans as well. I went back only about three years, found myself tearful, and shut the project down for now. Some day I should go back to the website and update the many pages of pet galleries.
To ponder all this business of life and aging and dying is, in general, pretty tiring to me. I think I'll wrap this blog post up and play games on my iPad. Not take everything so seriously.

Places to go...
Vancouver, Canada is calling my name. Look at the view. The gardens are just out of this world. It must be the climate. Happy New Year! Boy, talk about pressure. The first posting of the new year has had me thinking all weekend long. What to write about...hmmm... something inspirational...but what?
So I thought we could all use a mini vacation after the stress of the holidays. So off we go to Ireland next. Adare Manor Hotel is where I would love to stay while visiting Ireland. It is a 15th century castle. It is the lap of luxury. I'm sure the bathrooms have lots of marble and provide big fluffy robes for us to enjoy our morning tea or coffee in. Just look at the gorgeous grounds! WE could meander along the garden path taking in the fresh air and nature at it's finest.
I am enamored by these lovely thatched roof cottages. They look like they are right out of a fairy tale, do they not? I imagine there's a cozy fire going, and we are curled up in comfy armchairs with a nice cup of Earl Grey and a good book. Sounds good, huh?
Don't you just love the rolling hills of Ireland. The meadows are so green and the hills look so lush. It makes me just want to lay down and roll down the hillside.
Get your cameras ready. Is this not one of the most breathtaking images? Las Lajas Cathedral is found in the remote mountains of Colombia. Isn't it just gorgeous?! It has a quick moving river beneath it and 2 waterfalls nearby. It is near the town of Ipiales. Part of the cathedral is attached to a cliff and the other to a bridge. Wouldn't it be a wonderful place to walk through and then maybe enjoy the waterfalls and make a wish.
We have only visited a few places and there's a whole world to see out there. It is exciting to travel. I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did. I needed that little break. Our last visitor for the holidays left this am.

Wow! For a woman who didn't know what to blog about you wove pure magic! YES! I enjoyed our travels so much and it's exactly what I needed, a little excursion with a good friend. ;-)ReplyDelete
I had not idea the Cathedral was in Columbia, I would have though Scotland at first glance and yes... I enjoyed the roll down those gorgeous hills. Who wouldn't love Ireland, all that green!
Back to my "real" life now but I'm taking pieces of this lovely journey with me, thanks so much!♥
Thanks for the mini vacation. I have always wanted to go to B. C. and now I don't even have to unpack! TwylaReplyDelete
Hi TammyReplyDelete
Thanks for the mini vacation. I loved it. I fancy the Empress in Canada. How long shall we go for? I could gaze at that view all day.
Where are you taking us next?
I just told The Hubs the other night I wanted to go to Victoria BC for my Birthday so I could have tea at Empress Hotel. I have been there several times (it's a short trip from our house) but never got to do tea. It's lovely there! You should plan a trip one day.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the comments on my bathroom reno. I can't wait to see what you have been doing.
Love this post Tammy. I want a thatched roof for my house. Don't know how charming that would look with the vinyl siding, LOL.ReplyDelete
WHAT A LOVELY BLOG FOUND YOU VA THE VINTAGE RABBIT.. XOXOXO LAURAReplyDelete
Oh, I could live in a cottage like that! Now, off to daydream.ReplyDelete
WOW! Great pictures! I totally enjoyed the mini vacation! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Lovely travel..the only one I've been to is the Empress Hotel in Victoria..the others look magnificent!ReplyDelete

{Parenting} Not Measuring Myself By the Impossible
Last week Shelby went to her first dance. Her middle school hosted a masquerade dance for the sixth graders and she was super excited to go to her very first dance, ever. It was pretty much all she talked about in the days leading up to the dance.
But (insert sad music), I wasn't there to help her pick out a dress; curl her hair; take pictures; or see her off. I was on a business trip and was pretty heartbroken. I felt like a failure as a mother. When I said this out loud to Mike he said, "Why?" He went on to explain that Shelby was happily preparing for the dance and with his help and the help of our nanny, she'd be at the dance with a "perfect" dress and hair. It was all being taken care of and there was no reason
I was feeling horrible because I was missing a milestone moment in child's life. I was feeling horrible because people kept asking me, "Isn't it hard to miss things like that?" or "How do you do it?" I was feeling horrible because I was measuring myself as a mother by some impossible standard. I was measuring myself as a mother by other mothers. Never once did Shelby say, "I wish you were here" or "You're failing me as a mother by not being here." She asked me to help her pick out a dress and we worked together via FaceTime to make that happen. She asked me to borrow a pair of shoes. She asked me where my curling iron was so our nanny could help her with her hair.
On the night of the dance, Shelby sent me photos of herself just before she left for the dance. And as soon as the dance was over, she and Mike called me to tell me all about it. I may not have been there physically, but I was there in spirit. There was no judgement on Shelby's part, she was just happy to tell me how awesome the night was. Hearing the joy in her voice was a reminder that I'm doing okay as a mother. She's happy, secure and very loved. Those are the things that matter. And those are the very things I do well.
Every single parent is different and we need to stop measuring ourselves by what everyone else is doing. You'll never feel good about yourself if you're using someone else's yard stick to measure yourself. I know I'm not a perfect parent, but I'm doing okay. And when I make a point of putting on blinders and just worrying about myself, I feel much better about my effort.
S0 cut yourself some slack mama, you're doing just fine.

Eritrean Beauty in Northern Virginia
Eritrea is a country in Africa. Eritrea's capital is Asmara. The country is bordered by Sudan to the west, Ethiopia in the south and Djibouti in the southeast. It is a multi-ethnic country with more than five recognized ethnic groups. The population is vast with over 6 million inhabitants.
Several first generation children and young adults with parents from various countries in Africa reside in Northern Virginia, as well as all around the world.
Sofie is a first generation Eritrean that has been re-introduced some safe hair practices for her natural hair by Hair Therapy. An advantage she has experienced with her hair is the natural darkness of her hair color reflects light; it often appears shiny and healthy looking.
A challenge Sofie experiences is static when her hair is placed under direct heat. The biggest adjustment she has made to her hair regimen since visiting Hair Therapy is refraining from using products with petroleum.

Before you read any further, this email is not really about me, us, our family and what we have been through. I mean it IS...but it is also about the many of YOU out there who have hurts I cannot imagine bearing, yet you do and all the while you give glory to God through your tears. You are amazing and you keep me going....that said here is my heart.
So much hurt in this world you know? Just about the time I think I can get my head above water and have prayed through a burden of someone near and dear to me another call comes in and I wonder where this will all stop? And yet I know it probably won't stop. I have asked myself WHY, told God I do not understand at all, told God it does not make any sense to me, but I have heard no reply. I get the sense that He is just asking me...which will you choose: to believe in Me only when things are good and make sense to you, or believe in ME no matter what happens? Very good question God and without saying a word, I get your point!
So this morning I stand with all of you out there who do not understand yet choose to praise Him, whose hearts are breaking, yet you do not turn from your faith in Jesus Christ, who can hardly speak a prayer for the tears and pain in your heart yet you say "not to us, but to YOUR glory.
Truly He is a God who gives and takes away...we have to CHOOSE to say Blessed Be YOUR Name through it all.
Don't you think God smiles when despite it all, the pain and confusion, hurt and questions we choose to say that we trust Him, love Him and know that He works all things together for our good...even though it certainly doesn't feel good right now? I imagine in my mind that God is just like us with our kids wanting to protect them from the hurt and pain, yet so happy and proud of His kids when we do the right thing, when we honor Him.
Hang in there little ones, trust in God, He promises that if we honor Him, He will never fail us. I love each and everyone of you and share in your burdens and joys.

Below is a post that originally ran in May 2011...it is a bit long (okay really long) but it is one of my favorites and it got the most feedback... I hope you enjoy.
Homeward Bound?
As in most things in life, there are beginnings and endings. Business trips are no exception. My problem seems to be that despite my best intentions, some of my trips don't end as planned. That is, I don't get home at the designated time. This is not (entirely) my fault. You see, there are any number of intangibles that can ruin a travel plan: traffic, weather, bad luck and my newest favorite, the company self serve on-line travel site. That being said, I "own" a few of the mishaps.
On my most recent trip I really played with fire. First, I booked west coast and east coast meetings in the same week. Second, I did not book a return flight home. After my meetings in
I headed to San Francisco
to finish up from an earlier negotiation. I knew the meetings would be fairly
straight forward but you never know. For that reason, I decided to leave the
end of the trip "open" knowing I could either grab a last minute flight or I
could kidnap the rental car and take it back home. If I needed to stay an extra
night…I could. I did not want to have any added time pressure imposed on me
which might cause me to make a quick deal rather than a good deal. Providence, Rhode Island
I arrived in
"rested and
refreshed" from my cross country jaunt that included a stop in Providence . It also included another COACH leg
from Detroit !
I remember as I booked the flight thinking "Wednesday…should be a no brainer
for an upgrade and who goes to San Francisco
anyway"? Turns out many, many people and they all seem to be at a higher status
than my Super-Duper Elite…even if some of them did have backpacks (first class?
Really? They looked like they would be happier in coach!) When I asked the gate
agent about an upgrade her response was straight forward but hopeful. "Not
today sir…but maybe next time"! She
smiled. I felt like a kid who had been told recess was cancelled. Detroit
to Detroit leg was on a
regional jet which is code for "really fast, really small mode of
transportation that utilizes children as pilots". Don't get me wrong, I have
taken my share of "prop jobs" a.k.a. "puddle jumpers" where the top speed
rivals a condor but at "jet" speed I really prefer a seasoned pilot…not some
kid who shaves weekly and calls me "sir". Added to the fun, these jets are smaller in
every way, headroom, legroom, seat width, etc. The good news is in the event of
an emergency, I was already in the "crash" position as this was the only way to
fit into my seat in 3A. Providence
I have not been to the
airport in a number of years. Providence
to my house is about five and a half hours by car…or plane, all things being
"equal". The airport has undergone a
fairly substantial renovation and it looks terrific. They have also done an
amazing job making a small airport… BIG. The hike to the rental car area required
a guide and I am pretty sure included parts of the Providence Appalachian
Trail… but eventually I made it. To my delight, not only was the
rental center new but it appeared that basically every car was too! This sadly
was the highlight of my day. My rental car had a push button starter which
means the "key" just needs to be "in the vicinity". After a few false starts
(including looking for the ignition to insert the "key") I was under way. The car
was brand new with only seventy-nine miles on it.
The next day I made a conscious decision to pack my bag but to leave it at the hotel despite the fact my hotel was further from home than the meeting location.
I made this decision primarily out of superstition. If I were to bring the bag with me the meeting would last longer or worse, continue into the night and I would need to go back to the hotel and spend the night. By leaving the bag at the hotel, I was assured of an early departure…only I would have to go back and get the bag…I had this debate with myself that morning for more than a couple of minutes. This is classic me…I create these lose-lose situations for myself that always leave me second guessing. After "winning" the debate, I moved on…without my bag. I could have chosen to stay at the hotel where the meeting would take place but I have been to this many times. Too many times actually, so staying there was not an option…kind of like getting a second dog (Murphy) was not an option…but this time I did not crumble.
By mid-morning it was clear we were going to finish sooner rather than later. During breaks I started working on my return plan home. The airport was close so I started to look up flights on the "on-line" travel site provided by my company. You have to understand that I am NOT technologically literate or capable…think rental car and "key". Anyway, the travel site is excellent and I have used it for years. It is simple, straight forward and it works for me. Let me repeat that… it works for me. I had forgotten that the site had recently received some "enhancements". So many in fact, that the site recommended you attend a "webinar" and take an "on-line tutorial". I said "No" and "Thanks" and moved on…
This was the first time I had to use the site since it had been "enhanced". Now to me enhancement means many things but, it does not mean "so many changes you need a class to recognize - let alone use it". I stumbled along only to get knocked out of the system twice. Eventually, I got to the point where it seemed to understand I was asking for flights to get me home. Apparently, however I was also asking for a miracle as the flights I requested were for that day and I guess, expensive. Rather than alert me that the flights were costly and allow me to determine the cost/benefit it summarily rejected the request and admonished me for "attempting to choose a class of fare even dignitaries would decline".
I am nothing if not stubborn so I continued every "override" I know but it became clear one of the "enhancements" was preventing me from choosing a flight. I went on-line to an airline site (a risky, rogue proposition) and found some reasonable fares but the times were in the past or too far off. I could be home sooner by driving than flying.
newest rental car would be leaving the state. Rhode Island
The meeting ended and I went back to my hotel to retrieve my bag. Just prior to leaving the meeting I grabbed the "keys" out of my pocket and felt a very painful pin prick in my thumb. The key ring had a small but dangerous spur sticking out that managed to hook the perfect spot to make me swear and start sweating from the pain. About an hour into the drive my injured left thumb still hurt and I was fairly sure I had contracted some rare "key FOB borne" illness because I was still feeling warm, almost feverish. I had been distracted at first since the rental car had a complicated "computer screen" that ran everything. An hour in and I finally had the satellite radio working, I knew how fast I was driving and… I was hot. I was getting sick, I could tell. Then it hit me, the vents were blowing warm air at me and it was at least seventy-five outside. I figured out the climate control was set to heat. This explained the "fever". Another half hour later and I had managed to fix the climate control and I was now measuring my speed in Kilometers per hour. My thumb still hurt.
It was approximately and I now realized I was headed for rush hour traffic in
. That later flight was starting
to look pretty good. My newly married brother-in-law and his wife live in New York City so I decided to
invite myself for dinner to avoid traffic. This was the second time in three
weeks I had done this to him. He is a nice guy and after a brief hesitation apparently
decided it was easier to accept my "invitation" than come up with an excuse.
After a nice visit and an excellent dinner we parted ways. I was careful to not
grab the keys too quickly to avoid contracting another potential illness from
the FOB. I successfully navigated the "key system" and started the car effortlessly….on
the second try. I tossed the keys to my right hand as I started to look around
to back up. It was a tight spot made all the more difficult by the fact that I
"fish-hooked" my middle finger with the infamous "spur". This one was not only
deep but was a bleeder. The swearing and sweating began anew. The heater
remained off. Westport
Around I congratulated myself for my skillful flexibility in getting home from this trip. I had managed around the potential luggage "curse", outsmarted the rush hour traffic situation near
and was
cruising home doing something like 120…Kilometers per hour. I would be home in an hour. I passed a car
swiftly and as I pulled in the lane in front of him he flashed his lights. He
did it again. I wondered what his problem was until suddenly I realized that
other than the screen that ran the "brain" in the car, everything else was
dark. That's right, this car that could push button start, cut your hand twice
and manage to divert your eyes from the road for minutes at a time while working
on its "convenient touch screen" did not have automatic lights! I had no
headlights. I checked the "brain" to see if there was an adjustment for this
problem with no luck. I did however, manage to learn the pressure in each tire
as well as turn on the rear defroster. Eventually I discovered a knob…that turned
on the lights. Brilliant. Literally. Manhattan
I pulled into my driveway at 10:30 PM. The state of
had thrown me a curveball and was doing significant road construction on my
route home. I had been dead stopped for about forty-five minutes. I also ran an
EZ-Pass toll forgetting I did not have the electronic toll thing in this car. I
cursed the "brain." As I exited the car, I opened my suitcase to throw a couple
of items in it to limit the trips back and forth to the house. I closed the
hatch and started to walk away from the car. I turned and realized the car was
still running and I did not have the key. I panicked. Could I really have left
the car running and locked the keys
in the car? No. The car was unlocked but the key was nowhere to be found. I
shut the car off (and the lights) and finally started digging through my
suitcase in the dark as this was the only place left to look. Moments later, I
found the weapon known as the key…hanging from another impaled finger. Pennsylvania
After punting the key across the driveway (and then retrieving it with a thick gardening glove) I walked into my house to be greeted by two snoring dogs and the sudden realization that I had to drive three hours round trip the next day to
…to pick up
my car at the airport. I made a mental note to bring band-aids. The trip wasn't
over quite yet… Philadelphia

IBM has launched its entry-level blade server chassis, as Techworld predicted last month.
Big Blue describes it as "a computing system designed to help smaller firms simplify the management of technology needed to operate a small business – from servers, to phone systems and antivirus applications." It could help SMBs save both money and energy.
IBM reckoned the new, six-slot BladeCenter S is the right size to sit on a desktop, plug into a standard mains socket, and manage storage and servers. It's designed to run in a typical office environment, said the company, and can integrate applications such as anti-virus/firewall, voice over IP, email, collaboration, back-up and recovery, and file and print.
Minimising IT admin is among of the BladeCenter S' key features, claimed IBM. It can be configured using wizards like a PC, and uses a management tool that enables easy select-and-click configuration. For businesses operating branch offices – such as retailers or financial institutions – IT administrators at headquarters can easily pre-configure hundreds of blade systems to operate in the same manner and ship them out the door knowing an office employee will be able to simply plug a system in and power it up, according to IBM.
BladeCenter product manager Scott Tease said that small to medium-sized businesses - in IBM-speak that's up to 1,000 employees - wanted the same benefits as bigger companies but at a lower price, since they usually only had one person managing the IT infrastructure.
Blade computers – which integrate servers, storage, networking and applications into one system – were initially designed to help large enterprises break from conventional methods of business computing that resulted in the proliferation of server "farms," large IT staffs to manage them and wasted energy resources. IBM's pre-existing BladeCenter chassis can accept up to 14 blades.
The BladeCenter S can help reduce the 25 to 45 servers used by an average mid-sized company by up to 80 percent, eliminating the need to own and operate a data centre, said IBM. Blade server vendors claim that blades help cut energy costs because they share a power supply and other components that are rarely fully utilised in tower or rack-mounted servers. They also centralise cable management, saving space and costs, as up to six or more cables per server would otherwise be required.
IBM quoted industry analyst firm Gartner saying that mid-sized businesses run 25 to 45 servers on average to power business functions, and that about 10 of those servers are typically appliances designed to perform a single or specialised set of server functions such as storage, security and Web serving.
Integrating these functions, along with storage, into one BladeCenter system, can help businesses reduce the sprawl of physical servers and potentially reduce the numbers of IT staff needed to manage applications, reckoned Big Blue.
In recent years, blade servers sales have out-paced the rest of the server market, with the last quarterly sales figures showing over 25 percent growth, year on year. However, most of those sales have been to large enterprises. IBM said that smaller businesses could also benefit, and cited an example in the USA.
Devon Health Services, based near Philadelphia, employs 150 and processes healthcare claims. IT challenges include working with multiple medical partners that conduct file exchanges in various formats, and the management of large, time-critical volumes of data.
Devon Health had been adding servers to keep up with the company's IT demands over the years, creating a mixed-vendor environment that included over 30 Dell and HP rack servers that in most cases ran no more than one application each. "We got in that rhythm where we were buying a new server with every new application," said Devon Health president Charles Falcone. "One day our IT staff was in the middle of a project to upgrade a mission-critical application for our business – a re-pricing software product that handles 80 percent of the company's workflow – when we made an alarming discovery – we had literally run out of power."
When an electrician informed Devon Health's IT staff that the company was actually drawing more power than the circuit breaker was rated for, the team realised it was time for a new solution.
To reduce systems management complexity and address a critical shortage of energy resources, Devon Health migrated its core enterprise applications to a single IBM BladeCenter system with six blade servers. Today a staff of one IT administrator manages the company's file server, Web server, print server, database server, CRM application and backup domain controllers, all housed in one BladeCenter system, while pursuing other technology projects to help generate revenue for the business.
"Growing businesses with constrained resources have been grappling with ways to leverage technology advances to improve their competitive advantage without increasing costs," said Alex Yost, vice president and business line executive, IBM BladeCenter. "IBM's introduction of a purpose built BladeCenter for small offices and distributed locations will now help smaller firms get the simplification and integration that the biggest companies have been getting from blades, in a package that is optimised for their business. IBM BladeCenter is the right choice for customers looking for open, green and easy IT integration."

A sneak peek at the step-by-step process of erecting our Petal marquee. From bags of folded canvas to a beautiful 18ft-tall traditional marquee with the Piece of Cake team.
First up is to collect the Piece of Cake team members (or 'slices' as we call each other) and load the disassembled marquee into the van. Phia has her trusty clipboard and the first of many lists to make sure that no piece of equipment gets left behind. Depending on timing and location this might be the day before we set up the marquee.
When arriving at the venue, it's important to greet the locals, whether they're on two legs or four! We normally erect the marquee the day before the event unless arranged otherwise. Sometimes clients will ask for an extra day so they have time to decorate.
The first step after unloading (and catching our breath) is measuring out for the base of the marquee. We start by working out where the ground spikes go. We will be using these to tie off the guy ropes. These are then driven into the ground until secure. This is one of the most tiring jobs of the day for Tom and Dan, especially if the ground is full of rocks!
Now we have our 'outline', the next step is to unpack the canvas roof: two rounded ends and a middle. These are laid in place first, folded in half, and then the king poles slide between the two halves. The base of the king poles are positioned on the central line, and the top spike threaded through the highest points of the roof canvas.
The next step is tying all the roof canvas together. This comes in three large panels - one for the middle and one on each side. These are secured at the seams with dutch lacing. We'll start with the top-facing side and then fold the sides of the canvas to lace the back. We'll take turns on this so everyone gets a break before the next big job!
Now we can put the wall poles into place. Each pole is fitted through the metal rings in the canvas and straightened up. Now it's looking like a marquee!
The wall panels are then hooked onto the canvas of the roof and laced together to form the sides of the marquee. We have regular canvas panels as well as window wall sections if you want to enjoy the view. Alongside this job we will lay the coconut matting which comes in large rolls. We lay, stretch, and peg down 10 sections of matting to line the marquee.
As the final touch, if we are supplying lights for inside the marquee, we will hang these between the kingpoles and the walls, lighting up the roof.
And we're done! We may have been on site for 9 hours at this point so we'll probably be rather tired...but seeing the finished product makes it all worth it, every time.

Abalone poachers in Hawston, Western Cape, claim the police have been targeting them for more than a year, according to a report on Monday.
The Cape Times reported that the fishing community was apparently regularly targeted by a police squad dubbed "die slaners" (the hitters).
The poachers blamed the police for the death of Steven Figaji, 19, a poacher who drowned at Breakfast Bay on Thursday during an operation aimed at clamping down on poaching.
A group of poachers went on the rampage on Saturday night, injuring a police officer and setting a K9 Unit building alight.
A police officer was injured and a K9 Unit building set alight by a "riotous" crowd in Hawston, Western Cape police said on Sunday.
On Saturday the car two suspected abalone poachers were driving overturned and landed in a ditch while police were chasing them, Captain Frederick van Wyk said.
"Members of the public saw what happened and... started to throw stones and petrol bombs at the police. There were also shots fired from the community side at the police members," Van Wyk said.
Several private vehicles, including one owned by the injured police officer, were set alight.
A 13-year-old boy named Xavier Spandiel was shot in both legs. Van Wyk said it was not known how he was wounded. The boy was taken to the Hermanus provincial hospital.
Residents burned tyres and placed rocks on the R43, forcing the closure of the road.
The police opened cases of arson, public violence and malicious damage to property.
The two men in the fleeing car, aged 21 and 27, were found with 55 abalone and 12 crayfish with a street value of about R2000. Both were arrested and charged with possession of abalone and crayfish.
SABC news reported on Sunday that the R43 between Hermanus and Botriver had been reopened.
Deputy provincial commissioner Peter Jacobs said the Independent Police Investigative Directorate would set up an office in Hawston on Monday so residents could report police brutality cases.
The meat of abalone – or perlemoen as it is known locally – is used for food, and the shells as ornaments and most lucratively and as a source of mother of pearl for jewellery. Its pearls have been collected for centuries.
Abalone has been identified as one of the many classes of organism threatened with extinction due to acidification of oceans from man-made carbon dioxide, as well as overfishing and poaching in areas where the population is low.

The Fifth Seal is a Hungarian film directed by Zoltán Fábri, based on a novel of the same name by Ferenc Sánta. It won the Golden Prize at the 1977 Moscow International Film Festival.
Set in Budapest in 1944 towards the end of the Second World War, it tells the story of a group of friends, Miklós (Lajos Öze) a watchmaker, László (László Márkus) a book seller, János (Sándor Horváth) a carpenter, and Béla (Ferenc Bencze) a barkeep. They hang out in the dim light of Béla's establishment, drinking, smoking and telling tales. One day a fifth man (István Dégi) joins their table and unbeknownst to them all, an innocent hypothetical question will change their lives forever.
The underlying question that the film deals with is a philosophical one. Given the choice, would you rather be reincarnated as a vicious and evil tyrant who commits terrible acts, or a good and noble slave who suffers through life? A choice that these four men ultimately face when they are arrested, imprisoned, and tortured for no apparent reason; and one that makes the viewer ponder about themselves and humanity as a whole.

My Rachel Ray mag arrived yesterday and I wanted to show you this. Isn't that a cute dog? I just love that a pic of our own dogs can go on the label and anything that helps rescue shelters is wonderful IMHO.As I've been wittering so much about Cheryl Ladd I feel justified in sharing a pic of her with her labradoodle, another super cute dog. I can imagine him on a wine label 🙂
in fact her dog is so cute I can almost forgive her, her dreadful 80's hair in the picture she made with Kris Kristofferson. Check out her hair do in the film Millennium! Tmw I'll post the doggie page from 'Everyday with Rachel Ray', it's another cute one. Ohhh what a doggie day it's been today.

Higher Elevations: Stories from the West is a rich and varied anthology of fiction from Writers' Forum. As the subtitle promises, it is regional, but these are not all stories from the West. The anthology has both variety and cohesiveness and its high quality testifies to the almost inexplicable phenomenon of the flourishing of the short story in a market with few outlets.--
Ohio Universiy Press Excerpt.
"For 20 years the literary annual Writers' Forum has been devoted to publishing the creative work of both new and established poets and fiction writers, particularly from the
West. For this splendid volume the editors have collected some of the best work that has appeared in its pages…" -- The Bloomsbury Review
"When Alexander Blackburn moved to Colorado Springs twenty years ago, he found the area rich in writing but poor in publishing. So he created Writers' Forum…The journal has earned a significant following in national literary circles for the voice it has given to western writers, especially those whose work moves beyond the boundaries of the stereotypical western genre. Writers' Forum has received more than 30,000 manuscript submissions and published more than 180 fiction writers and 350 poets, many of whom have gone on to achieve literary prominence." -- Springs Magazine
"Writers' Forum, the literary magazine Blackburn started in 1974, is now ranked first among the non-paying university-sponsored literary magazines by Writers's Digest… By reading widely in the anthology, the reader gets a picture of writing in the West over the last two decades and an appreciation for the Writers' Forum." -- Ceil Malek.
"Higher Elevations is one of those marvelous books that comes along so rarely that its appearance is a cause for celebration, its existence a source of wonder. It's an impressive sampling of the contemporary literature of the Trans-Mississippi West. Here together are twenty works by some of the most esteemed authors writing today, including Robert Olen Butler, Charles Baxter, Ron Carlson, Craig Lesley, Susan Lowell, Rafael Zepeda and Gladys Swan. From Texas are included works by Miles Wilson, Peter LaSalle and Pulitzer Prize nominee Clay Reynolds…" -- Paul Scott Malone, Concho River Review
