Collingwood Magpies
TEAM WHISPERS: Magpie rested, Eagles guns in doubt, Crows star may return
Some big names are expected to return as we look forward to an intriguing selection of Round 10 fixtures.
Here's all the selection rumours from around the league.
Tune into The Match Committeewith Terry Wallace and Sam McClure from 6pm for the latest team news.
Listen LIVE on 1116 SEN, https://www.sen.com.au/listen-live/ or on the SEN app. Watch at AFL.com.au or on the AFL app.
Wells rested, Reid to return
Nathan Buckley has confirmed that Daniel Wells will be rested after just two games back at AFL level. The Magpies are keen to manage the classy veteran who has a history of soft tissue problems.
Ben Reid is set to return to replace the unlucky Alex Fasolo who will miss at least six weeks with the ankle syndesmosis problem he suffered in Round 9.
Levi Greenwood could be set for a call-up quite possibly to keep an eye on Bulldogs ball magnet Jack Macrae. Brayden Maynard is also in the mix.
Schache a Bulldogs consideration
Luke Beveridge says he will "definitely consider" a Western Bulldogs debut for young forward Josh Schache who has kicked nine goals in his past three VFL matches.
Fellow forward Tory Dickson is also in calculations despite having not played at AFL level since Round 5.
Defender Marcus Adams returned through the VFL last week but isn't quite ready to take the step up.
Veteran defender Dale Morris faces a fitness test to again play VFL having pulled up sore from his return from a partially torn ACL.
Welcome return for Carlisle
St Kilda are very likely to have key defender Jake Carlisle back in action against Richmond. He passed preliminary concussion tests earlier this week and will play if he gets through training unscathed.
It's a similar story for promising forward Paddy McCartin but the Saints may be more cautious given his head-injury history.
All clear for Swans speedster
Sydney defender Zak Jones will play against Brisbane after he was cleared following a head knock. The Swans are cautious but he is expected to take his place in the side. The incident occurred in the final quarter against Fremantle.
Youngster Lewis Melican will be back "this week or next" according to head of football Tom Harley. Melican has not played since Round 3 because of hamstring worries.
Sav returns as Cats unearth 5th debutant in 2018
Geelong will welcome the athletic Esava Ratugolea back for their home clash with Carlton. 'Sav' was managed for last week's loss to Essendon but will return.
Tough-tackling midfielder Scott Selwood will not play due to a back concern, and Lachie Fogarty will miss again with groin soreness.
Coach Chris Scott has confirmed that small forward Jamaine Jones will debut for the Cats, making it five new faces this season, while Brandan Parfitt "is really close" to returning from a foot problem.
Curnow still in doubt
Charlie Curnow remains in doubt for the Blues. The young gun has a quad issue and will be given a fitness test prior to Saturday.
Captain Marc Murphy will be monitored after seemingly suffering a recurrence of his troublesome foot injury.
Phil Davis is expected to return for GWS' home meeting with Essendon after missing last week with concussion.
Star midfielder Josh Kelly will again be given every chance to prove his fitness as he strives to get back from the groin problem that has kept him sidelined since Round 3.
Dons duo touch and go
Essendon could get Andrew McGrath back as he has recovered from a calf strain but key defender Michael Hurley is still in doubt with his hamstring strain.
Darcy Parish has "put his hand up for selection", in the words of John Worsfold, after dominating in the VFL last week.
Forgotten ruckman set for timely return
After being sidelined for 18 months due to an ACL injury, ruckman Jonathon Ceglar is a chance to make his long awaited return against West Coast on Sunday.
Ceglar has strung together a trio of solid performances in the VFL and looks likely to be included to deal with the Eagles' towering ruck duo of Nic Naitanui and Scott Lycett.
James Frawley (shoulder) and Jaeger O'Meara (corked calf) looked to have recovered from their ailments and should take their respective places in Alastair Clarkson's 22.
Two gun Eagles in doubt
The table-topping Eagles could be without two key players for Sunday's match against the Hawks.
Luke Shuey (hamstring) and Elliot Yeo (knee) were given a 50-50 chance to play by coach Adam Simpson. Yeo injured his knee during the first quarter of last week's win over Richmond, but returned to play out the remainder of the contest.
Shuey has missed the last two games with his hamstring strain but is making good progress in his recovery.
McDonald suffers major injury scare
Melbourne were dealt a major scare at training today when gun swing-man Tom McDonald left the track early after feeling soreness in his troublesome foot.
McDonald was sent for scans but Dees coach Simon Goodwin admits it's a concern but remains "confident" he will get up for the match against Adelaide on Sunday in Darwin.
Crows midfield stocks could be boosted
Crows high performance manager Matt Hass revealed that gun midfielder Matt Crouch is in contention to return for Sunday's clash with Melbourne in the Top End.
Crouch missed last week's game against the Western Bulldogs with hamstring soreness but he has trained strongly this week and is a chance to be recalled. Luke Brown (adductor) and Wayne Milera (hamstring) also face fitness tests.
Two key Dockers in the mix
Stephen Hill and Joe Hamling both face fitness tests to see whether they can feature in Sunday's big game against the in-form North Melbourne at Optus Stadium.
Hill has missed the last two games with a quad injury but high performance manager Jason Weber says "the clinical signs are very good." Hamling missed the second half of last week's match against Sydney through concussion with the club "hopeful" the defender can take his place.
Davies-Uniacke in line for a recall?
A trio of North Melbourne youngsters are in the mix after strong performances at VFL level. Roos coach Brad Scott indicated Ben McKay, Sam Durdin and Luke Davies-Uniacke are all a chance to return for Sunday's clash against the Dockers.

Bolero Site Traffic Analysis Tool Debuts
Page 1 of 1
EveryWare Development Inc. introduced Bolero 2 at Spring Comdex this week, a powerful, real-time Web site traffic and analysis tool.
Now in final candidacy and scheduled to begin limited shipping in May, its scalable, open architecture is designed for use in a variety of Internet applications ranging from a single corporate site to an ISP maintaining multiple sites handling millions of hits daily.
Bolero's automated, real-time Web site traffic summaries can be accessed instantly to generate fully customized, interactive reports without requiring the time needed to post-process hundreds of megabytes or gigabytes of raw log file transaction data.
EveryWare said this provides users with up-to-the-minute Web site information (including performance statistics, trends analysis and user demographics) to assist with key marketing and information technology decision making.
The complete Bolero 2 package includes one Bolero Agent supporting one domain (additional Bolero Agents may be purchased to support multiple domains), one Bolero Server with an included SQL database, and one Bolero Reporting System (BRS).
The Bolero Agent gathers site traffic information for transfer to the Bolero Server. The Bolero Server then normalizes the data and inserts it into the Bolero Database where it is transformed into summaries that can be used for a variety of reports.
The BRS is based on the Editor module of EveryWare's Tango Enterprise Development Studio and produces the actual reports that can be customized to the specific needs of the user.
The Bolero Agent operates with the Netscape FastTrack Server 2.0 (or later) and Netscape Enterprise Server 2.0 (or later) for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Sun Solaris 2.51; and Microsoft IIS 3.0 for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.
The Bolero Server, which runs on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, requires a Pentium 200 (or higher) with 64 MB of RAM (128 MB is recommended) and 1 GB of available hard disk space if the database resides on the server machine, and 100 MB of space if the database resides on a separate machine.
For more information, visit the EveryWare Web site.

Spring football game gives A&M some answers
Spring game gives A&M some answers
Running back set with Goodson; QB still up for grabs
COLLEGE STATION — The talk in Aggieland heading into the Texas A&M spring Maroon and White Game was about the quarterback position. With senior Stephen McGee, sophomore Jerrod Johnson and freshman Ryan Tannehill vying for the fall starting position, new A&M coach Mike Sherman will have some decisions to make.
But none of that was settled Saturday at Kyle Field in front of 32,000, with the three quarterbacks and true freshman Tommy Dorman doing little to separate themselves from each other. Sherman did confirm something. The Aggies will run and junior running back Mike Goodson will be the workhorse.
"The running backs did a nice job, I like the toughness," Sherman said. "Goodson played extremely well there in the first quarter and part of the second. He showed his talent and we didn't do everything we can do with him or we wanted to do with him. We can give him the ball in the backfield or the check down."
Sherman promised changes when he was hired in November, particularly the installation of a pro-style offense featuring creative pass plays and fewer option runs. The option was largely gone, but the play-calling was traditional A&M run-heavy.
Goodson said that was the game plan, and he gushed about the depth A&M had in the backfield. He also talked about senior Jorvorskie Lane's transition to fullback.
"I've got an arsenal by me, everyone is playing great," he said. "I think it was hard on [Lane] at first, but he's getting it and he's coming along. I think he loves it. He's blowing everyone up."
The game was formatted differently than previous Maroon and White games, with the first half being a modified scrimmage game and the second half being situational sequences and series. Each series was split between the first, second and third strings on each squad.
McGee, a two-year starter and leading candidate to keep the job, appeared unfettered by the right shoulder injury that caused him pain a year ago. He remained calm and was not as quick to abandon the pocket and scramble as he was in 2007. McGee said that the greatest challenge with the coaching change was the voluminous playbook Sherman wants to incorporate.
"It's pretty intimidating, but I'm getting used to it," McGee said. "It's a little like taking another graduate level course like a few I'm taking in marketing. Now that I'm learning it, I think the marketing is a little harder."

The thing about anniversaries is that they just keep on coming.
And after about 500 years or so of paper, cotton and leather, a person has to start thinking outside of the box.
In celebration of yet another milestone for the Protestant Reformation, the folks at Grace Lutheran Church are turning to music — that old reliable standby that bridges the generations, cultures and now apparently different branches of the Christian church.
"To reformers, music was a very important part of worship but in very different ways," said Laurel Sanders, the church's worship and music coordinator.
"Faith Proclaimed Through Song: 500 Years of Reformation, Renewal and Reconciliation" will use guest speakers, visiting musicians and the occasional psalm to underline the common threads that unite people of different beliefs.

I can scarcely believe that I've been homeschooling my children for 7 years. And further, I still wallow in disbelief that I've taught two of them how to read. Plus a whole bunch of other stuff like how to diagram sentences and reduce a fraction to its lowest term.
Because that little ability COMES IN HANDY.
I officially have a 6th, 4th, and 1st grader under my tutelage this year. Adding that 3rd student (especially since it's JENSEN) has really stretched my patience and teaching abilities to the limit. It is a good thing that he came last in the lineup, otherwise they would all be in military school. In a harsh climate.
I love being able to share what our school year looks like, as well as get an insight into what other harried homeschool moms are doing as well. Over the years I've used a number of different curriculum, finally in this last year landing on a combination that works well for our family. This school year will not look all that different than last year. Except that the teacher is a good deal more twitchy.
We are still loosely using a year round schedule. This will be our 3rd year doing this and I absolutely love it. Basically, we start school in the middle of July when it's too hot to make it to the mailbox and back without danger of heat stroke. We work for 9 weeks, take 2 weeks off in the Fall, and then go another 9 weeks. This puts us at the doorstep of December, wherein we take the entire month off.
We start our 3rd quarter right after New Years, work 9 weeks, take 2 weeks off for Spring Break, and then work another 9 to 10 weeks, depending on if we need a buffer. We end our school year at about the end of May. Then we have about 6 weeks off during the summer.
Which is just enough time to limit the inevitable event of all the useful information learned the prior year from leaking out of every orifice. Like a sieve.
One difference this year is that we're having to work a full 5 day school week, instead of 4, because I don't want everyone to be rushed trying to get everything accomplished. And as my oldest student would tell you, SIXTH GRADE IS HARD.
Last year was my first year to use My Father's World, and we studied Exploring Countries and Cultures. I am now a My Father's World convert. My sister-in-law, Trish, used Adventures in My Father's World last year, and in an effort to save money, we simply switched curriculum this year.
Adventures in MFW is a basic study of U.S. History geared to 2nd graders. But since I already have amassed a wonderful library on U.S. History, I knew that I could use Adventures in MFW as a guideline and will add on as needed to make it challenging enough for Emme and Cailey.
I love doing a unit study approach for geography, history and science. It's a great opportunity to bring all my little students together to learn. While keeping the bickering to a dull roar.
Bible Study
Speaking of roar (because I am all about the seg-way), we're using ROAR, which is a Christian family guide to studying the Chronicles of Narnia. I'm reading a chapter per day (starting with The Magician's Nephew) and we go in depth to discover all of the wonderful nuances that Lewis intended when he wrote the Chronicles. There are plenty of scripture references to delve into as well as real life practical applications to discuss. ROAR is authored by Heather and David Kopp. I found mine used online at Amazon.com.
We're also starting Awana again this year, and will be working within our Awana books to memorize scripture.
Math/English/Word Building (Spelling)
This is our 3rd year using the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum for these 3 subjects. There are no teacher manuals, as everything is explained within the workbooks. Each subject has 12 workbooks to cover the span of a year. We work at a rate of about one workbook every 3 weeks. This curriculum has really helped to develop independent study habits for the girls.
I'm able to use Big IQ Kids to reinforce spelling as I can modify the lessons to include their weekly spelling list. I also use the Big IQ Kids math program to help drill the dreaded multiplication tables into their heads. They actually look forward to review work. Go figure. And don't forget the Big IQ Kids giveaway going on here.
Jensen – the first grader
I have to keep things loosey goosey with my son. I never know with his skin issues if he's going to be able to sit still and concentrate. I have a variety of activities and worksheets available on the fly. I'm using A Reason for Handwriting, A Reason for Spelling, Spectrum Math, and an Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading. When he's especially wiggly, I let him trace (awesome for eye/hand motor coordination) and draw freehand to his hearts content. And of course he joins in when we're doing our Bible Study and family reading time. Although he's usually standing on his head.
Extracurricular Activities
We are involved in a whole bunch of extra stuff outside the house to make sure that mommy stays socialized. 🙂 The girls are in swim team technique lessons, swim team practice, Awana, American Heritage Girls (Christian scouting), Friday park day with our homeschool group, and Homeschool P.E. & Art Classes.
I still use the workbox system with all 3 kids to help keep their work organized. This has been so helpful because they know what is expected of them each day, and they can easily access what they need to be working on.
Also, I have a homeschool page set up especially for awesome resources.
We're off to a great start this year and are just finishing up week 5, with our first 2 week break in sight. And so far, no one is in therapy. Which, really, is more than I could have hoped for.
Your turn. If you have a blog, you can post your own curriculum round-up post, and link that post up below. Be sure and include a link pointing here within your own post, because the more the merrier.
If you don't have a blog or post, just tell us what you're doing this year in the comments section.
Have a stress-free year, everyone! (Which is easy for me to say since Fiddledaddy just found me hovering over a leftover can of coconut pecan frosting, sprinkled with Hershey's Chocolate drops. That's the kind of day I've had…)

Bertoia Bird Chair & Ottoman
Bertoia Bird Chair & Ottoman
Design Harry Bertoia, 1952
Welded steel rods, upholstery
Made in USA by Knoll
Harry Bertoia's 1950 experiment with bending metal rods into practical art produced a revered collection of seating, including the exquisite Bird chair. Innovative, comfortable and strikingly handsome, the chair's delicate appearance belies its strength and durability. In Bertoia's own words, "If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them."
Italian sculptor, university lecturer and furniture designer, Harry Bertoia was an inventor of form and an enricher of design. He introduced a new material by turning industrial wire rods into a design icon. Educated at the Detroit School of Arts & Crafts and Cranbrook Academy of Art. Bertoia taught metal crafts at Cranbrook while working with Charles Eames to develop his signature molded plywood chairs. Eero Saarinen commissioned him to design a metal sculptured screen for the General Motors Technical Center in Detroit. His awards include the craftsmanship medal from the American Institute of Architects, as well as AIA's Gold Medal.
A classic, modern design that enhances any environment, Bertoia's Bird chair remains a fascinating study in bent metal and a fixture of mid-century design. Knoll is the only authorized and licensed manufacturer of the Bertoia Collection which has been in continuous production since 1952.

Hold monthly coordination conferences with the Care and Therapy Centres (CTCs) in the implementation space to help shared confidentiality, facilitate case conferencing, improve the bi-directional referral system and guarantee HIV constructive beneficiaries obtain wanted providers. Obese or weight problems has change into main concern within the current times. The younger generation, although could be very conscious about weight gain and is determined to get methods to drop extra pounds. As long as weight achieve is concerned, it is crucial to understand that calorie consumption ought to be minimal. Nevertheless it is quite common among folks to enter crash diets or hunger for reducing weight quick. But, that's not the answer. Hunger will only trigger your metabolism to slow down and as quickly as you get back on the previous food regimen, you'll gain weight very simply.
In my journey of dropping pounds and helping others, I uncovered a profound lesson: habits are more powerful than feelings in reaching health and wellness. The key to great health, then, lies in leveraging strong habits with the compounding impact. The compound impact occurs when small habits accumulate over time to produce remarkable long run results. If one resides in the compounding zone, one will regularly push oneself beyond one's perceived limitations. As an illustration, whenever I grew to become drained throughout exercise, I might push myself to do additional sets.

The government will issue detailed guidelines outlining the technical requirements for testing federal workers for illegal drug use, an official said Saturday.
The guidelines, to be published Monday in the Federal Register, set forth "conditions under which (urine) specimens would be taken and . . . the standards labs would have to meet," said Campbell Gardett, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services.The rules do not cover which employees will be tested or under what circumstances, Gardett said, confirming a report in The Washington Post. Such matters will be delineated in plans by individual departments and agencies, he said.
Currently, only the Defense Department and the Transportation Department test employees in sensitive positions.
Public employee unions have been resisting the tests, contending they violate workers' constitutional rights, and have filed suit to block them.
The publication of the technical requirements for testing is the first of three steps necessary before widespread testing of civilian government workers begins.
The second step, an HHS review of testing plans from departments and agencies, should be completed within several months, he said.
The third step, which he said should follow soon after that, is a report to Congress from the Office of Management and Budget estimating the cost of the program, which the Post said is preliminarily estimated at about $7 million.
The technical guidelines were proposed nearly 14 months ago in response to a September 1986 executive order issued as part of President Reagan's campaign for a drug-free workplace.
They are to guard against cheating by requiring that toilet water be dyed blue to prevent dilution of the urine sample and that the temperature of the samples be taken to prevent substitution by another sample smuggled into the toilet stall.

The anything-goes culture, philosophy, chess, and yoga
If you are not a millenial or younger (actually, even if you are...), you should have no problem hearing the tone of entitlement that practically saturates these "reasons." Apparently, there exists a universe in which one is entitled to a good grade in an exam just by virtue of having answered all the questions in it, no matter how irrelevant to the question or--let's be honest here--bad those responses are. Of course, it probably doesn't help my case that philosophy has a reputation among some undergrads (and probably many members of the public as well) for being an anything-goes discipline. As one of my former students recently put it to me, "If philosophy is just about your opinion, how can there be a wrong answer? If there is no wrong answer, how can one possibly get anything less than an A in a philosophy course?"
Unfortunately, there is such a thing as a wrong answer in a philosophy exam (I'm going to set aside the question of whether there are wrong answers in philosophy as it is done outside of academic exams; that is too much to go into here). Simply put, the wrong answer is whatever answer it is that fails to provide the information that the question is asking for. For instance, if the question asks you to explain Sartre's view of the Other, and how the appearance of the Other affects your freedom, and you go off on some big rant about how you and the Other are One, and how this Oneness shows that everything in the universe is connected, then your rant, no matter how beautifully written a rant it is, simply fails to answer the question, and you will get a D on that response. (It's a D and not a F, because I simply don't have the heart to outright fail somebody who has taken the time and effort to write a long response).
Perhaps this is not obvious to many people, but in the serious academic study of philosophy, there are right and wrong answers, just as there are right and wrong answers in the serious academic study of mathematics (or in the serious academic study of anything else, for that matter). Perhaps this point is not obvious to many people because unlike the concise signs and formulas and equations that make up the language of mathematics, the language of philosophy is simply ordinary English (or whatever other human language it is that one chooses to study philosophy in). As such, perhaps people get the impression that philosophy is just words on a page, and since anybody can write words on a page, anybody can do philosophy well. Therefore, anybody can get an A on a philosophy exam just by putting words on a page. (Does this argument follow? I don't know, you figure this out for yourself :-)).
In any case, I believe that it is because of everything I have said above that philosophy gets a reputation (a bad one, on my opinion) for being an anything-goes discipline. And somebody like me who argues otherwise tends to be dismissed as an elitist, undemocratic, crusty ivory-tower academic.
But I beg to differ. I think that philosophy done properly (as in, philosophy that has right and wrong answers) is more profoundly democratic than any kind of anything-goes version of it ever could be. For instance, if one does not get Sartre right, and instead thinks that anything one says about Sartre goes just because one says it, wouldn't that run the risk of committing the injustice of misrepresenting Sartre's thoughts and ideas? And what good is democracy without justice? More broadly, what I am trying to say is that in an anything-goes culture, nothing significant or important will ever get said, because in such a culture, people will progressively lose the ability to discriminate and understand what is important and what isn't. You can call such a culture "democratic" if you like, but again, what good is this kind of democracy if it does nothing to help people to discriminate and understand what is right or wrong or what is important or not? What good is a democracy in which one is allowed to say whatever one likes, but in which one no longer has the tools with which to understand what is worth saying and what isn't? In such a "democracy", it is only a matter of time before we get to the point where the only people who are listened to are those with the loudest voices or those with the most resources/money. Unfortunately, these two groups of people tend to be the same individuals (ever heard of Donald Trump?). Such a "democracy", in other words, quickly degenerates into an authoritarian society in which individuals are judged not by the worth of their ideas, but by how loudly and flashily they present themselves and appeal to others.
The paradox, as you can see, is that an anything-goes culture which tries so hard to be democratic quickly gets to a place where it becomes very, very undemocratic. Perhaps we are already there (again, Donald Trump...). I don't have any solutions to this paradox. I am only a blogger/novice philosopher, not a pundit. But there is some reason to hope. Two of the things in my life right now--yoga and chess--are the very antithesis of this anything-goes spirit. If you claim to be good at chess, for instance, and you aren't, your lack of ability in chess will quickly be exposed. There is no such thing as anything-goes in chess; the only thing that "goes" is whatever strategy or combination of tactics it is that enables you to win. Similarly (and perhaps less obviously) in yoga, whatever goes is whatever combination of yoga practices and lifestyle that allows you to live a more fulfilled and productive life in your community. If it doesn't help you to do that, either you are doing it wrong or whatever it is that you doing is wrong in the first place. And actually, this applies even to something as mundane as asana. Despite all the bad press about "asana-fixation" that have been published in the yoga blogosphere in the last ten years, the fact still remains that there are productive (and therefore "correct") ways to do an asana, and less productive and even damaging (and therefore "incorrect") ways to do the same asana. Forcing your knees into padmasana when your hips aren't yet open enough is an example of the latter.
So, at the risk of sounding very immodest, perhaps there is a solution to this paradox of the anything-goes culture, after all. The solution lies in this question: What do yoga, chess, and philosophy done properly have in common? Answer: An attitude of humility, informed by the awareness that the only thing that goes is whatever works to address the problem at hand. Anything else simply won't cut it.

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I love the anticipation of springtime, with its soft colors, beautiful weather, and feeling of renewal. We bring our family and friends together for one festive and celebratory Middle Eastern feast for Easter.
The idea of an Easter Middle Eastern feast began several years ago. I bought a few pounds of gyro lamb meat from our favorite local Mediterranean restaurant and rounded out the meal with fitting accompaniments. It was an instant hit with friends and even our young toddlers, so we have continued to serve a Middle Eastern style meal every year since.
One of the beautiful aspects of this Middle Eastern "mezze" style meal is that it combines easy-to-prepare dishes and quick cooking meats with sides that pour straight from a package, ready to serve. There is a large variety of flavors and styles of food included in the menu, so guests can pick and choose their favorites. There is no rush to have everything hot and ready at the same minute, so the whole day feels much more enjoyable.
I learned I could substitute the purchased gyro lamb for some simple and delicious spice-rubbed lamb and chicken kabobs, which cook in just minutes in the oven or on the grill.
This year's Middle Eastern feast menu:
- Lamb kabobs rubbed with Baharat spice blend and grilled
- Chicken kabobs marinated in a combination of Za'atar spice blend and Greek Yogurt, then grilled
- Pita bread and fresh carrots, served with hummus drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled with black pepper
- Green salad with fresh feta cheese, tomato, and cucumber
- Easy-to-make and delicious falafel mix served with store-bought tzatziki sauce
- Israeli couscous with pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries
- Figs in syrup drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cardamom and nutmeg
- Marinated olives
- Spiced fruit and nuts
- Sparkling red grape and rosehip soda and sparkling white grape and elderflower soda to drink
The food is so pretty, the table doesn't require much decorating. The soft, warm colors and floral design in this table runner and matching napkins set a perfect tone, and I was thrilled to find these gorgeous paper mache eggs to use on each of the place-settings. They would be lovely with a simple hand-written name along side as well.
Add a few fresh blooms into simple mason jar vases, and enjoy the beautiful, festive feeling of the feast.

Hello Family and Friends!
It just occurred to me that it has been far too long since I have kept you up to date on what's happening with Qeirstyn and Heather and me in general. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures for everything, but I do have plenty for you to look at. I'll start with the beginning of the year with the move from Rexburg, ID to Sandy, UT.
Our move was pretty hectic so we didn't have a lot of time for much of anything. We did check out a lot of restaurants when we first got here because we didn't have any food in the fridge yet. There sure is a lot of good food to be had around here. There's a really awesome IMAX movie theater here practically in our backyard that we've been meaning to get to, but just haven't gotten around to finding a babysitter yet. The Wasatch Mountains are practically parked in our front yard and are a sight to behold. Heather and I want to go explore them really bad, but again, there hasn't been time for either one of us. Right now, Heather is doing her internship at MyGym and Derek is doing his thing at OfficeMax (he left RadioShack for now). Between us, we're just trying to make rent, utilities, and in the meantime, keep our sanity. We have driven around the city quite a bit and we're starting to get used to it. We still think the drivers in the area are insane. We're having a hard time adjusting, so we're looking forward to getting back to Rexburg hopefully this mid-March if all goes well.
|Qeirstyn's First Christmas and Packing
|View From Apartment in Sandy
Qeirstyn is growing really well, and she's starting to outgrow a lot of her clothes. We've been waiting for this moment so that she could finally fit into Heather's home-made jacket. She's been a lot of fun for both of us recently with her smiles. She always seems to cheer us up when we're having a bad day. She can still be a pain in the rear when she wants to be.
She has been eating solid foods and liking them or hating them depending on the flavor. We caught a funny picture of her hating one such flavor. But, after dinner, she always gets her bath and she always enjoys it.
Qeirstyn has been developing great. We've been taking her to MyGym and Mom has been teaching her all kinds of things in the gym. She also gets to play around with other children and she really enjoys socializing with other people. She's starting to have a standing preference where she'll cry until you help her stand up. We have a blue walking/sitting hippo and she likes to play with that as well. She still hasn't gotten the crawling down yet, but she really kicks like she wants to when she's on her belly. We practice everyday so hopefully soon it'll just click for her. Heather and I are also trying to get her to learn sign language, so we bought her a "Baby Einstein: My First Signs" video to watch. She watches it every morning and she loves it. She giggles at the little sock puppets they have on it.

I also wanted to share this video of Qeirstyn spazzing out while watching TV upside-down. She always seems to do this when viewing anything upside down, even us. I always get a kick out of it, and apparently, so does she!
We finally did find the time to make a trip up into the Wasatch Mountains because we heard about a really nice shopping outlet in Park City called Tanger Outlets. So, we bought Qeirstyn a dress there and took some pictures of the scenery and buildings. I've never seen a 3 car lane highway shooting through the mountains before! It was pretty neat, but nothing like the hills around Montana or Idaho. Right before we were going to head out, we were hit with a snowstorm and had to make our way out very carefully. Once we were back in Sandy, the snow started to settle down. I guess Park City gets snow just about every day. It looked like it too with all of the mounds of snow in the parking lots.
The next day, it was gorgeous outside, so we went to Temple Square to get some pictures of Qeirstyn in her new dress. She was really having a good time there being pushed around in her stroller and posing for the camera. I also threw in some other pictures I took of the temple as well trying to capture the scenery.

|Qeirstyn at Temple Square
Another very exciting thing is that Qeirstyn now has two (2) bottom front teeth! We're pretty excited about it. It took a while for them to cut through, and Qeirstyn was really, really fussy for the couple of weeks that it was happening. We tried our best to give her medicine, but she hated that too. So, it was really just a bad experience for her (and us), but she made it! The first tooth came in on a Saturday and then the other tooth showed up very quickly after that in only about a week and a half.
|Showing Off Toofie
It has been snowing quite a bit down here in Sandy. One morning we woke up to about 15 inches of snow on the ground and then a couple of weeks later, we were caught in yet another snowstorm, so we took advantage of it with Qeirstyn and had some fun in the snow.
|Qeirstyn in the Snow
Now, it's another nice day outside, so Qeirstyn and Dad might go take a walk outside while Mom is at work. It's been hard with both of us working because we only get to see each other for about an hour a day. Oh well, it will be over soon and we'll be able to look back on the experience and say that we were happy to have done it.
As always, we hope things are going well with everybody and that you've enjoyed the pictures and stories to go along with them. Until next time (which I promise won't be long again)…
Love always,
Derek, Heather, and Qeirstyn Hildreth

Hello Family and Friends!
I was lucky enough to catch Qeirstyn doing something brand new this time. She's starting to mock us in a few things (like smacking her lips and waving just a tad) and this one surprised us… she's nodding her head "no"! She was a little over due for a nap at the time I shot the video so she's a little crabby. I had also caught a little bonus. I'm not sure what to make of it yet, but it almost looks like she nods her head "yes" in the second video. It could've been a mistake, like she could have lost balance, or for real. Either way, I hope you enjoy the videos!

Hello Family and Friends!
Qeirstyn has been making some strides recently. She's been mocking us in a couple of different things and her gums aren't so soft anymore– we're pretty sure there's a little "toophie" popping out! So, I've prepared a video showcasing her abilities to smack her lips (as well as being too darned cute). You can mostly hear us smacking our lips trying to get her to do it. Anyways, just press play and enjoy the video.

Hello Family!
It was kind of interesting to see this scene fold out. First, Qeirstyn was screaming, then Heather started to scream with her, and then a game was created! Qeirstyn seems to be enjoying it anyways! Sorry about the poor video quality, it was dark inside when it happened. Enjoy the video!

Hello Family and Friends!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Years to all! What better way to end the year than with a video/photo diary! Well, I could think of several better ways to ring in the new year, but this is good too. I hope 2007 was an eventful year for all of you, and I hope 2008 has lots of good in store for you too. In the meantime, enjoy the video and photos of Qeirstyn's first Christmas and our adventure moving to Sandy, UT.

Sean Combs Models Himself as a Master of Marketing
Sean Combs is not known for his subtlety.
"I'm a modern day P.T. Barnum!" the hip-hop entrepreneur now called Diddy told Advertising Age during a break from his cross-country whistle-stop tour to promote his first record in five years. "I take pride in being an entertainer. I'm having fun with it."
And just like the legendary circus showman, Diddy knows how to sell.
The mogul, who can generate headlines for simply dropping an initial from his name, is trying to make a splash around his new CD "Press Play." To do so, he's embracing both mainstream marketers such as Burger King and Wal-Mart and digital media such as MySpace and YouTube.
The self-proclaimed "king of music and fashion" launched his own channel on YouTube recently, which he said has been at least a year in the works. He's using it to post webisodes of everything from his late-night musings about life to him brushing his teeth and getting a haircut.
But it's not just about him, he said. He intends it to be a place where his fans can chat about any number of topics. He's knows there will be parodies and haters-and he's been on the receiving end of both as detractors have lashed out at DiddyTV and the sponsorship by Burger King. He figures it's just part of the territory. His MySpace page has 380,000 friends and counting, some of whom had surprise phone calls from Diddy himself recently when he decided to do some informal outreach.
Never taking his eye off the ball, Diddy will use his YouTube channel to keep up his emphasis on "Press Play," which features guest performances from Jamie Foxx, Cee-Lo of Gnarls Barkley, Brandy, Timbaland, Nas and Keyshia Cole.
As the record launches this week, it could shine the spotlight back on Diddy the musical artist and three-time Grammy winner. He's become better known these days for his forays into fashion, where his Unforgivable men's fragrance is the best-selling department-store cologne in the country and his designer Sean John clothing lines pull in nearly $400 million a year in retail sales.
How did the Burger King deal come about, and what will you be doing as part of the relationship?
It's the same as when Justin Timberlake signs a deal with McDonald's or Britney Spears or Bon Jovi gets a sponsor for their tour. Burger King is sponsoring my promotional tour and my performances for "Press Play."
They want to be involved with what I'm doing on multiple platforms. People love to be in business with me because they see that I work hard and I reach out to the kids. I try to work with different endorsers, but I have to believe in their brand. The offers have to make sense- it's not just about a check. I don't need the money.
This is a relationship very focused around the tour. I had some personal meetings with Russ Klein [BK's president-global marketing, strategy and innovation]. I'm online and they want to be online, talking to the same people. If we do a commercial, we might not even release it on television. We stand for a lot of the same things, like "Have It Your Way." It's about freedom, independence, following your own rules, being positive.
I'm not selling no burgers-I ain't holding no burgers in my hand.
I think it shows how far hip-hop has come. We couldn't get anybody to work with us back in the day. The world is changing.
(There are a few more sponsorship deals in the works for the tour, but Diddy said he couldn't give details while negotiations are ongoing.)
Why did you want to do Diddy TV, and why have you been so active on MySpace and with viral videos?
We started out with some silly webisodes, and it just grew. I didn't really have an ulterior motive. I was just trying to show different sides of me-the human side-and I found out I really enjoyed talking to people with no middleman. It wasn't another great Puffy marketing scheme. It's such a personal thing that you have to be passionate about it; you have to really want to be involved.
I've always tried to be cutting edge and first-that's what my companies are all about. I wanted to be on MySpace and YouTube to communicate with people. We shoot fresh webisodes all the time, and I have a daily blog. I wanted to do it without having it look like it's self-serving. I'm not selling Sean John or Unforgivable on there. I've gotten a lot of notoriety from it, but I just do it to be in touch with what's going on.
Did you phone some of the friends from your MySpace page?
Yeah. They really bugged out. I asked them what was going on in their lives, what they were into, what they were thinking about. Simple communication goes a long way. I got a lot of information. I realized when you follow through with young people, they believe in you. They said, 'He cares about us, he's respectful and he respects that we support him.'
It's common now to see musical artists working with marketers. How do you think fans perceive these relationships?
I see where people think it's a little offensive sometimes, but it costs money to go on tour and put on shows, so people work with sponsors. I don't know if every recording artist can do it. I work with sponsors and make no apologies for that, but so does Nascar and the NBA and the NFL. My sponsors have to support my charities and they have to make sense for my overall brand. Nobody could pay me no amount of money to do something I don't believe in.

I'm 5 days away from heading to Nicaragua and 6 days from seeing my beautiful girls.
I am taking so much stuff that I don't have enough room for everything and it's quite discouraging. I so wish I had my own plane. I would not have this problem any more.
Please pray for Terry and I as we leave our children home again. Although they will be well taken care of there are still many things to consider when Mom and Dad are gone.
Pray for our team members that are going. Bonnie & Thomas, Chris and Lauren, and Jennifer are all coming with us. All three of these families are praying about adopting from Nicaragua as well and are leaving family behind.
Pray for our safety, health, unity and most important for the people we will touch while we are there.
I am taking baseball uniforms and equipment for one team and soccer equipment for another. This is going to rock their world. Pray it raises their faith to a whole new level.
Pray for additional finances that are needed to accomplish this task. I had to purchase new baseball pants for the team that was unexpected and going to my aunts and to her funeral cost me almost $300 in gas that was not planned for so money is very tight for this trip.
I am trusting God to supply all my needs. Pray that people who understand the needs of missions will rise up and help as God leads them to.
I have also ran out of room in my bags. I will have to leave toys or hygiene products home. Its hard for me to make that decision. One is needed and the other is desired. An extra bag is another $100 that I just don't have to spare right now so pray that God will send that money as well if they are to go.
We will be at the orphanage a lot this trip but on Monday and Tuesday morning we will be ministering in two villages that have never had a team of Americans visit them. Pray our showing of love will open doors to share God's love with them and lead them to a personal relationship with him.
Thanks for your support and your prayers.

*Before reading this article please note my prior posts on a healthy acknowledgement that not all moms/babies can breastfeed and that is perfectly OK.
There is a lot of information floating around about the benefits of breastfeeding. There are all kinds of studies that will tell you that breastfed babies are smarter, breastfed babies are healthier, breastfed babies have lower chances of developing certain diseases later in life, etc. Most of the benefits that are touted relate to the nutritional value of breast milk and its superiority to formula. Although the immunological benefits come up as well. But, depending on where these studies are conducted, some of the studies may reveal more about the long-term well being of children who are raised in homes that value breastfeeding, than the actual breast milk. I'm not saying that's the case, but I'm also going to say that we have a love/hate relationship with scientific studies and their results right now. Not sure what I mean? Read this brilliant Jezebel article on all the conflicting information you get as a pregnant woman (all citing scientific studies). It's the same for anything, people listen to and cite the research that supports their preconceived notions.
That being said, do I think breast milk is nutritionally superior than formula? For most kids yes. Do I think that formula is a life long sentence to ill-health and low grades? No. Like anything in life, being breastfed is one single influencing factor in a whole host of influencing factors. So, why are almost all my blog posts about it and why does it matter to me so much that I breastfeed my baby and see other moms breastfeed theirs? I'm going to warn you, my answer is pretty unscientific and I don't (*gasp*) have any studies to back me up.
One of the few instincts that babies are born with is the rooting instinct. There are several mouth reflexes that exist to encourage a baby to seek and find nourishment. The design of our bodies (and theirs) is that they should root and find their mother's nipple. That child has spent the past 9 (or fewer) months inside their mother's body. Protected, ensconced, and perpetually cared for in their own perfect little ecosystem. They come into this world through pain and effort and hard work. The separation of the mother's body from the baby's is a really violent process. I'm sure there are some that are relatively calm, but even if you had a peaceful birth there is blood and sweat and other bodily fluids all being spent in the effort of removing a part of the mother's body so it can grow and flourish to be its own independent being. And now the child is in a world it's only known by proxy, and the way our species keeps surviving century after century is by developing a habit to immediately seek comfort, nourishment, and warmth at the mother's breast. Because both mom and baby need this as a way of sharing her body until they are both ready for their own space. We come into this world the way we spend the rest of our lives, looking for connection.
To me, being at a mother's breast, hearing her heart beat, being held in her arms, being warmed by her presence is such a crucial initial reassurance for a child after the shock of birth. And I say that as someone who could not provide that for my daughter for her first 4 days of life. It's a first indicator to this little person what the world outside the womb will be like. Once we become pregnant our bodies immediately begin redirecting nutrition and energy away from ourselves and towards growing this little being inside of us. Unless someone chose to terminate the pregnancy altogether we have no choice in how our body uses resources to grow a child. We form a bond with this child inside us, but in a strange twist it's very tentative because it's inside us, which means we can't see or touch or hear each other directly. But, when a child is born a mother is faced with the choice of whether she wants to continue to give of her body to her child. Breastfeeding is one crucial way (not the only way!) that a mother can do this. She now has the choice to literally take calories, water, and energy from her own body to sustain her child. This is really powerful, it's a physical manifestation of a deep and serious commitment.
Love and connection are not bound by practices and rituals, and especially the love of a mother for her child can never be contained or restrained by one act. For me breastfeeding is a serious act of love and dedication to my daughter and an oath to be my best as a mother. This is more important than whatever nutritional and immunological benefits are gained from breastfeeding. Scientific studies are great, but they've never had the final word on anything. As women and mothers we can tap into a deep and intuitive understanding of what is best for those under our care, and that's why I choose to breastfeed.

Self care is something that has become vital to me. After two years of stress and anxiety, I've found that taking time out for yourself to relax and reflect is crucial and important. It benefits all aspects of life – physical health, mental health and relationships with others. When you do not take time out to care for yourself and unwind, you are under constant stress and frustration.
I started self care routines last year, around October. I've always been a stressful person, always worrying about things and working hard. I've always done things to the best of my ability. It was starting to take a toll on me, trying to multi-task. Being a full time student, a blogger and trying to have a social life. I realised I never had time for myself. I never spent time with the most important person in my life… myself.
In this blog post, I'll be sharing my self care routine. I feel this routine is the best, and truly relaxes me. I hope this helps you as well.

Light a candle or incense
Lighting a candle/incense (or in my case, both) is great for relaxing. It creates a chill mood and makes the room smell amazing. It's almost like treating yourself. I always use these incense sticks made in India called Pure Chandan.
It is made of premium Masala incense (whatever that means) and natural herbs. The smell is so strong and lovely. What's best is that the packaging is eco-friendly, and free of animal-by products!
A friend of mine actually brought by these candles, and since then I keep getting the same ones! They're simple tea candles and they give off a vanilla scent. Only costs around €3 too! I love the dimmed light candles give.
I have only recently tried yoga, and I absolutely adore it. The stretching can be painful but once you release that stretch, it's such a relieving feeling. It's also brilliant for relaxation and great to do in the morning or night, when you wake up or are about to sleep. It's great for self care because you are allowing time with only yourself and forgetting about your issues and problems for about an hour or so. I highly recommend it.
Watch a movie or read a book
Start reading that book you've always wanted to read but haven't had time to, or watch that movie you scrolled past but saved to watch for later. Leisure time is important for everyone and sometimes all it takes is just your favourite food and a movie/book.

Pamper yourself
Taking a shower/bath is the best time out for yourself. I use the Radox 'Stress Relief' bath soak with this bath sponge. I've featured this bath sponge on my Primark Haul where I give an honest review of it.
I like to also do some face masks, and hair care while I'm taking a shower.
Coconut time
I loooove coconut oil infused products. Coconut oil has always been good to me. I like using this Tesco brand body lotion and coconut oil for my hair.
