About this blog
This started out at as a blog to help newlyweds adjust to married life. Wifelysteps.com has evolved along with my life. I blog about the following themes:
- Marriage. I've been married for 10 years. This blog is a decade young!
- Motherhood. I love being a Mom. It comes with so many rug pulls. I also share my stories about transitioning from being a WAHM to corporate (and before that, transitioning from corporate to WAHM).
- Family time. I enjoy writing about the best surprise I've ever gotten in my life: my little boy. This blog chronicles some of his milestones and our favorite activities together.
- Yummy Eats. These are food reviews, restaurant visits and recipes for the home. We love to eat!
- Good Reads. I'm a bookworm and enjoy sharing reading tips and book recommendations.
- Around the Home. These are a few of my favorite things, plus some tips and tricks on making the home more beautiful.
- Blog Inspiration. I also share stories about my blogging journey and recommend good blog reads.
- Thoughts. Random reflections, a potpourri of ponderings… some thoughts in my head I needed to put on paper.
About me
One of my favorite pictures of my son (and myself).
Taken in Feb. 2011.
If you still want to know more about me, here are 37 random things about me.
- I turn 37 this year.
- I'd very much like to be a WAHM again.
- My favorite Christmas tree decorations are my son's toys.
- My ultimate relaxation: Playing The Sims 3 undisturbed. Quite a challenge.
- I dream of going to New York City. Someday. Someday.
- My favorite color is blue even if this blog is mostly tangerine.
- I love to read cookbooks, but haven't cooked in ages.
- Not cooking for ages is a mixture of laziness and a lack of talent. So we eat out.
- My goal this 2014 is to read 75 books. (Reached my 50 book goal last year! Woohoo!)
- Writing a book is on my bucket list but I'm unsure where to begin.
- I want to adopt an olive oil tree.
- My best teacher is my four-year-old.
- I was the president of the Visual Arts Club when I was a high school senior even if I didn't (and still don't) draw very well.
- Communication Arts was my course of choice upon entering university, but shifted to Business Management.
- I now work in a Communications Arts-related field. But I want to try a career path in a people-oriented field soon.
- When I was a kid, I dropped a santol on my younger sister's head to see if it would bounce. What happened? The santol bounced, and my sister got mad.
- I'm not an outdoors person, but I force myself to be one so my son gets exposed to the outdoors more.
- Driving scares the hell out of me.
- I can't ride a bike.
- I miss being a work-at-home-Mom even if I practically didn't have time for myself anymore.
- I'm still in touch with my penpal from Bulgaria. We've been corresponding since I was 14. We've graduated from snail mail to e-mail to Facebook messages. We have never met in person.
- My husband and I don't have a shared hobby except for gaming. Then again, we like different games so we don't even play together!
- My favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is Raphael.
- I wear 3 rings — my wedding ring, engagement ring, and my independence ring.
- The best movie ever is Monsters University because it's the first movie we watched as a family — my husband, myself and my son.
- I can't sleep with the light on.
- When I was younger, I wish I were named Michelle because Toni sounded like a boy's name. I learned to love my name in high school, when my closest friends assured me it was cool.
- If I had to choose between reliving my days in high school or college, I'd choose college.
- My ideal married couple would be my grandparents.
- My nicknames include Wifey, Tones, Toni Girl, and once upon a time, Ambo.
- I wish I were taller.
- I believe in destiny.
- Growing old freaks me out a bit.
- I used to hate eating alone, but now I enjoy solitary eating.
- I've never done any of these 22 things.
- When I was a kid, my Dad always asked me and my sisters, "Are you happy?" We'd always answer and I'd often wonder why he kept asking us that. Now I find myself asking Timmy "Are you happy?" occasionally, and now I know why my Dad kept asking.
- I think Lucy and Charlie Brown get married when they grow up.

It is a dramatic and permanent difference. The dentist was able to change the shape, color, and smile line in two visits. The first visit is a little longer and I had to wear temporary veneers while the permanents were made but it was definitely worth it. I get compliments on my smile all the time and I love they way they look in pictures too.

I had crowns replaced on two teeth and veneers done on an additional 6, top teeth only and I love them! I had them done about 9 years ago so I'm afraid I don't remember what the cost was but they completely changed my confidence level and were the best thing in the world for me. I have an excellent dentist and he's who I chose to do my veneers. He gave some excellent advice, especially about not making them too white which can look very fake, especially as you age. I'm 54 and I don't want people staring at my teeth and noticing that I've had them done. If you're sensitive about your smile, it's a truly wonderful investment. Just take your time and make sure that you have a good dentist. I'd also suggest spending some time looking in magazines at lots of smiles. You can get an idea of the shape of teeth that you like the best. For instance, I knew that I wanted my two front teeth to be slightly longer than the others. I didn't want that "false teeth" look where all of teeth almost look like they're the same size and length. It's also really important to know that your dentist uses a great lab! They're the ones creating the teeth. Keep in mind that they don't last forever. It varies from person to person and you'll get more information from your dentist.

Nancy, do you remember the type of veneers you got - lumineers, empress or another type? I am thinking of doing the exact same thing you did and am close to the same age and feel the same as you about looking like false teeth.

|Hi and Welcome! Here you will find several bear poems, activities and great Bear Resource Links!
Have a Beary fun time browsing!
| Bear Hugs
If you like
I can give you
A big bear hug.
It will make you feel snug
As a bug in a rug.
As soon as
A bear hug
Comes your way,
Find yourself
A good friend,
And give It Away!
| Bear Finger Play
Here is a cave.
(Bend fingers on one hand)
Inside is a bear.
(Put thumb inside fingers.)
Now he comes out
To get some fresh air.
(Pop out thumb.)
He stays out all summer
In sunshine and heat.
He hunts in the forest
For berries to eat.
(Move thumb in a circle.)
When snow sarts to fall.
He hurries inside
His warm little cave
And there he will hide.
(Put thumb inside fingers.)
Snow covers the cave
Like a fluffy white rug.
Inside the bear sleeps
All cozy and snug.
(Place one hand over the other.)

|The Teddy Bears' Picnic
|Our thematic unit for the first week in September is Bears.
I send a note home the previous Friday explaining our plans for a week long Bear unit, a fun hall display homework activity and asking for treat donations for our culminating activity~~OUR TEDDY BEAR PICNIC. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE NOTE TO PARENTS.
Each student brings a bear from home to visit for the week. Only bears with good manners get to stay for the week. Those with disruptive behavior need to be sent home. Usually the kids (I mean the bears...) handle their visit well and all bears are able to visit the whole week. On Friday we
make our own Bear Ears to wear and read The Teddy Bears' Picnic. We sing the song, and then take our bears out to the playground to have our Teddy Bears' Picnic. It is always a favoite activity that the kids remember at the end of the year!
|Here is a sample of our Teddy Bear Homework for
our Hall Display.
|~~~Teddy Bear Ears~~~
Staple two strips of brown paper together to make a head band. Give the children two medium size circles for the ears
Cut about 1/4 of the bottom of the circles off straight across.
Glue the shapes with the straight end on the headband.
Glue a light brown shape (same as above) in the inset of each ear.
Staple headband to fit child's head.
The kids love wearing these to the picnic!
|~~~Teddy Bear Math~~~
We use our Teddy Bears to do the following activities:
Sort and Pattern our bears by color and size.
Estimate and Measure the circumference of My Great Big
Teddy Bear's Tummy and My Tiny, Little Teddy Bear's Tummy.
Measure our bears length using unifix cubes.
Estimate, count, sort and graph Gummy Bears by Color
We read Corduroy~~ The bear in search of his lost button! Give each child a tub of buttons to sort and record by various attributes: 2 holes, 4 holes, shape, color, size, etc. This also makes a great center activity.
We also make a graph showing how many of our Teddy Bears are Bare Bears and how many are Dressed Bears.
|~~~~Bear Books~~~~
During Bear Week our bears join us for story time. We read several bear stories including:
A Pocket for Corduroy
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Where's My Teddy?
The Teddy Bear's Picnic
We use these stories to promote journal topics in our Bear Journal or to make
Class Big Books.
The September Library lists all of these Bear Books and more. Click on the book

As the Big Ten moves into a new era with the addition of Maryland and Rutgers in 2014, all indications from its conference meetings in Chicago suggest a league often criticized as a prisoner to tradition is prepared to make fundamental changes, especially in football.
More conference games. More night games – even in November. Divisions rearranged along geographic lines.
All are on the table and gaining momentum, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said. He favors the proposals, including, yes, Ohio State and Michigan in the same division.
The leading option appears to be two seven-team divisions split between east and west. While concerns of competitive balance separated Ohio State (Leaders Division) and Michigan (Legends) in the current set-up, an eastern grouping likely would include Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers, Ohio State and Michigan.
For Ohio State and Michigan, that would only heighten The Game's stakes and eliminate the prospect of back-to-back rivalry showdowns in the regular-season finale and the league title game – a novelty with potential diminishing returns.
That's where I'm leaning, and that's where I think (Michigan athletic director) Dave Brandon is leaning, Smith said. We always go into these meetings listening to what's best for the league, but our preference at this time is to be in the same division.
The other push is to expand the conference schedule, likely in 2016.
A 10-game schedule would eliminate the home-road imbalance inherent to nine league games and maximize the value of the Big Ten's next national TV contract. (The current deal with ABC/ESPN that pays the league $100 million per year expires after the 2016 season.) An Ohio State-Iowa game is naturally more attractive than one between OSU and Alabama-Birmingham, and a 10-game schedule with 14 teams would raise the number of conference games from 48 to 70.
Now that the playoff has come into play (in 2014) – and we have no clue what the nonconference strength of schedule weight factor will be, Smith said. It's easier from a scheduling point of view, and fans love to see conference games.
The drawbacks of an inflated league schedule include the competitive demands – no BCS league plays more than nine conference games – and school-specific economic concerns.
Brandon said the business models at Michigan and OSU are driven by the programs playing seven home games annually.
If we were to get into a circumstance where we were playing six home games that would be very problematic, Brandon said.
Other wishes include more games in prime time – the Big Ten is open to previously off-limits November night games while Smith said he wants to play two home games per season under the lights – and more collegiality among coaches.
A contentious year came to a head after Ohio State's victory at Michigan State. The schools publicly traded accusations, with MSU defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi complaining that OSU doctored the scouting film sent to the Spartans while Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said his staff sent the league office tape of an alleged eye-gouging incident from the game.
Afterward, Delany sent the league's coaches a polite but firm email.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - One paycheck - that's how much experts now say the average family is away from becoming homeless. Unfortunately, Lubbock is no different. A year ago, it was two paychecks.
Thursday on NewsChannel 11 at 10, we told you about the rise in number of those who are homeless in the Hub City. Experts say many of them are single parents and children. We also showed you the pains of trying to beat the street and the reality of living in shelters.
According to the US Census Bureau, 12.9 percent of Lubbock families live in poverty, but at Family Promise's Hope House efforts are underway to change those numbers. For many it comes in the form of new skills and hope. It's also hope that one day they will no longer live in poverty or even worse be homeless.
Sylvia Hartfield has completed part of her college education and has a job but, like many, she still struggles to stay off the streets. "Get back on my feet and at the same time I'm helping some in the same situation I am in," Hartfield said.
Three weeks ago, Hartfield started working in the kitchen at Bridge of Lubbock. However, it's a part time job, and that leaves Hartfield and her two teenage daughters relying on Family Promise for shelter. "I enjoy my job because not only am I homeless but I get to cook for the homeless," Hartfield said.
In the same kitchen, Kids Cafe Executive Chef Tammy Hester helps prepare some 500 meals a days for Lubbock County students. "Once they leave, a majority of these kids the last meal would be between 11 and 11:30 a.m. when they eat their lunch and they might not have anything else to eat after that," Hester said.
In the past year, the number of meals served to students by the South Plains Food Program has increased 36 percent. It's a harsh reality that most students at Parkway Elementary face - 97 percent receive free or reduced lunch.
But Parkway Principal Eddie Fitzgerald says, thanks to the Junior League's Food 2 Kids program, many students have snacks for the weekend. "If you are hungry it's hard to concentrate. If you are hungry, you spend time trying to think about how you are going to have your food have your next meal. So the programs that we have are very beneficial," Fitzgerald said.
According to the 2003 U.S. Census Bureau, when compared to counties our size and larger, Lubbock County is the second poorest county in Texas and the fifth poorest in the nation per capita.
President of the South Plains Homeless Consortium Debby Roddy says family history, lack of education and Lubbock's high number of teen pregnancies fuel the poverty cycle. She adds that some people are not able to make a living on Lubbock wages, all things that costs taxpayers in the end. "They are going to go to the emergency room because they have no medical insurance and no other way to get taken care of. You're going to pay for them because they are not going to graduate from high school," Roddy said. They are going to be jobless and unemployable."
That's something Hartfield says she plans never to face again. "My goal is to have a place of my own, to be financially stable and able to take care of my kids. To provide medical care for me and my children and transportation for me and my children," Hartfield said.
Roddy says the solution to homelessness in the Hub City is awareness. She adds more shelters, preventive and intervention programs are also needed.
Number Of Homeless On The Rise In Hub City
The number of those who call the streets of Lubbock home is on the rise. NewsChannel 11's Julia Bruck reports.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/222092The law is rather lenient about your rights to take photos, but less so with how you can use and publish the photos you've taken.
Generally, if you are using photos for a commercial purpose (which a website tends to be) you need to be mindful of whether the photos would be deemed "an invasion of privacy"--something that varies with state law.
The fast and easy way to deal with the situation is to secure permission from your customer. If you've done a good job, they likely won't hesitate to allow your use of the photos. Make sure to get the permission in writing. A qualified attorney can create a form of release for you to use with your projects so that you can develop your portfolio.
If you use the photos without permission, the waters get muddied. If the customers were unhappy, they may not want their house featured because that could be deemed some kind of endorsement of your work. If there are any unusual features to the house, they may be recognizable despite the lack of customer names.
It's best to consult with an attorney so that you're clear on the parameters of the law in your state.

Georgia State's game against South Carolina State will be special for handful of the Palmetto State natives on the Panthers' roster.
It will be especially meaningful for wide receiver Jordan Giles, who grew up in Columbia, about 45 minutes north of Orangeburg where South Carolina State is located.
Giles should have 35 friends and family in attendance, including one favorite uncle, Spike Aldridge, who played at South Carolina State and was drafted in the 10th round by the Minnesota Vikings.
This will be the first time that Aldridge has gotten to see Giles play in college.
"He always motivated me, always gave me advice on and of the field," Giles said. "It's pretty exciting."
Offensive tackle Ramell Davis grew up in St. Matthews, about 20 minutes from Orangeburg. He should have more than 20 friends and family at the game, including a few of his high school coaches from Calhoun County.
He said the game will be exciting because many of his high school friends didn't expect he would play college football. He didn't play organized tackle football until 2005, after moving to South Carolina from Brooklyn, N.Y. Now, he's a starter. He said his high school coaches convinced him to forget about scoring touchdowns, which was hard because he took advantage of his height by playing wide receiver in two-hand touch leagues in New York.
"I started off kind of rocky at the beginning in my high school," he said. "My coach sat me down and said put the effort and get stronger in the weight room you'll be able to go and play."

Legislators who do not file their income taxes would have their names released before the beginning of each Legislative session, under a bill that passed the Senate Thursday.
Senate Bill 17 seeks to address the problem of state legislators who habitually do not pay their taxes. The bill passed the Senate 54 to 0 Thursday.
"Elected officials should be held to the same standard as every other Georgian in filing and paying their taxes," said Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle in a written statement.
Recently legislative leaders received a list from the state Department of Revenue of 19 legislators who have not paid their taxes. The names were redacted to protect their confidentiality.
Senate Bill 17 would change state law to allow the DOR to name any member of the Legislature who has not filed a Georgia personal income tax return for the most recent preceding calendar year.
Those names would be given to the Joint Legislative Ethics Committee, which could in turn, choose to release them to the public.
Sen. George Hooks (D-Americus) sits on the Joint Committee and said the names would probably be released.
The bill also requires the DOR to give written notice to each legislator on the list at least 20 days before the release of their name.
The committee could conduct an investigation into whether a member has committed misconduct and could refer the matter to the Senate or House ethics committees for action.
A previous bill would have changed Senate rules in order to deal with the problem. It generated a rancorous debate in the Senate last week, causing some to say it was a politically-motivated witch-hunt.
Senate Bill 17 had the full support of both parties Thursday.
"This has the force of state law," Hooks said.
"This is a stronger, cleaner, fairer way of doing it," he said.

It is criminal for a General Assembly Rep or Senator to be in arrears on his or her taxes. They should be held to a higher standard and should automatically be removed from office for these violations. There is just no excuse for anyone in public service to be a scofflaw of the very laws that he or she can control by the ballot.

This is why Casey Cagle is the front runner in the Governors race. Cagle demonstrated tremendous leadership to bring this solution to the floor and bring the entire Senate together for unanimous agreement. He exhibited leadership and bipartisanship that you don't often see at the Gold Dome or anywhere for that matter. How often do you see both the Senate Majority and Minority leaders praising a bill? Simply brilliant……..

You Tube Slideshows
It occurred to me, a little belatedly I know, that I really should do more with my abundance of photographs. To that end, I've been getting to grips with iMovie and You Tube – there's a bit of a learning curve, here – and putting together a series of slideshows of pictures from my travels. I've added a couple below, and you can see more over at my channel on You Tube.
Yes, I have my own channel, and how cool (strange) is that? It's very much a work-in-progress, but it you'd like to see how it develops, please subscribe.
No, really. Please subscribe!
The Mosaics of Aquileia – slideshow
I wrote a blog post a while back about the extraordinary mosaics of Aquileia, but then I wondered what to do with the abundance of photos I took during my visit. Putting them all in would have made a very long blog post indeed!
I opted to do a slide show, then got a bit carried away and added some music and a voice-over. I'm still not sure what came over me. Anyway, here it is. (I don't think Bettany Hughes need worry.)
Word Wednesday – Groundling
My current Shakespeare obsession has rekindled my fascination with words and where they come from. Which seems appropriate, given that a good number of them come from Shakespeare.
He wrote at a time when the English language was in a dizzying state of growth, leaping on new words with abandon and giving old words new meanings. Shakespeare made the first recorded use of over 2000 words, so I can only imagine he looked on this state of affairs with some glee. He invented new words and turned old ones on their heads throughout his career (Hamlet alone gave audiences around 600 words they had never heard before).
Some 800 of Shakespeare's new words survive today – everything from antipathy to well-read, critical to zany, assassination to vast. He had a particular genius as a phrase-maker. Where would the language be today if we were not able to play fast and loose, go down the primrose path, budge an inch or beggar all description?
I think I'm going to have plenty of material for my Word Wednesdays!
I will start with the word 'groundling'.
O, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious, periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shows and noise.
Hamlet 3.2.8-13
The word first appeared in English in a 1601 translation of Pliny's Natural History, at roughly the same time as Hamlet was written. Groundling here meant a small fish that lived in mud at the bottom of the water.
We first hear the word groundling in a theatrical sense in Hamlet, where it refers to those who paid a penny to stand in the yard in front of the stage. There they stood, like so many fish gaping up at the actors.
Hamlet is not very complimentary, but his words could be taken in a variety of ways – a nod to the well-off in the galleries who could reassure themselves they weren't groundlings, a satire on aristocratic pretensions, an invitation to banter.
The name has stuck, as the groundlings continue to gather in front of the stage. A standing ticket at Shakespeare's Globe in London costs £5, and there are no lack of takers.
I have to admit, I prefer a seat.
The Chandos Portrait – Probably Shakespeare
There is something marvellously enigmatic about William Shakespeare. His words continue to enthral after more than 400 years, yet the man himself remains in the shadows. Perhaps that is the way it should be – if anyone should let his words do the talking, it is Shakespeare.
Nowhere is this elusiveness more apparent than in the topic of Shakespeare's portrait. There are a number of paintings which may represent him, but none of them enjoy watertight confirmation.
I visited the National Portrait Gallery in London to see the painting which is the most likely candidate to have been painted from life, the Chandos Portrait. The Gallery's very first painting, donated in 1856, it hangs at the beginning of the Jacobean gallery, next to a portrait of Ben Jonson, and I have to say, I'm convinced.
The man depicted is thoughtful, slightly dishevelled and he is wearing an ear-ring. A poet, indeed. There is something of both the poet and the canny businessman in his expression. This was a man, you can't help but feel, who knew what he was doing.
The face resembles the most famous depiction of Shakespeare, the etching by Martin Droeshout the Younger that forms the frontispiece of the Folio of 1623. That etching looks a little strange, with various elements out of proportion, as though the artist did not deploy an experienced hand. It was however authenticated a true likeness by Ben Jonson, so was likely to have been taken from an earlier portrait painted during Shakespeare's lifetime.
The Chandos Portrait has an interesting provenance. It was, said the 18th century antiquarian George Vertue, painted by John Taylor, actor and painter. It belonged to Sir William Davenant, godson and possibly the biological son of Shakespeare (according to the gossipy John Aubrey), before being sold to the actor Thomas Betterton. It then entered the collection of the Dukes of Chandos, hence the name.
Barring the discovery of an explicit reference to the painting dating to Shakespeare's lifetime, we'll doubtless never know for sure whether the painting depicts him. But that's all right – the mystery just adds to his legend.
Much Ado About Nothing, Whedon-style
William Shakespeare and Joss Whedon? Of course!
I finally caught up with Joss Whedon's film of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing this week, and what a charming romp it was. I have fond memories of the Kenneth Branagh version, and I really can't say which is better. They are certainly very different, the one taking place in sunny, medieval Tuscany and the other in black and white twenty-first century California, which merely underlines the extraordinary adaptability and resonance of Shakespeare's work.
A home movie with a difference
After months of toiling on one of the biggest films ever – Marvel's The Avengers – director Joss Whedon had a short break, which he decided to fill by filming a Shakespearean comedy, in his home. As you do.
Filmed in black and white, in modern dress, the film has a distinct film noir look about it, tinged with a touch of nineteen-thirties screwball comedy. Amy Acker's Beatrice and Alexis Denisof's Benedick bring to mind Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant, with their crisp repartee and elegant physical presence. With their 'merry war', Beatrice and Benedick have always been the scene-stealers of Much Ado, and that doesn't change here.
The plot concerning Hero (newcomer Jillian Morgese) and Claudio (Fran Kranz), their love undermined by the machinations of the treacherous Don John (Sean Maher), is a darker tale. Maher, it has to be said, makes a far more convincing 'plain-dealing villain' than Keanu Reeves, bless him. It was Maher's first time playing a villain, a fact that prompts Whedon to observe incredulously on the DVD commentary: "He is far too handsome to be a good person."
Joss Whedon always gives good commentary.
The film grew out of the long-standing Shakespeare readings that took place at Whedon's home over the years, attended by many of the actors who have come to be associated with him, a sizeable number of whom are in the film. An added treat for Whedon fans is recognising their favourites from Whedon's various shows. Look, there's Fred and Wesley from Angel, and yes, the bumbling Constable really is Captain Mal.
Ah, Nathan Fillion.
They all show a natural flair and fluency with the Elizabethan language, reinforcing a long-held belief that Shakespeare is easy to understand when performed by actors who really 'get it'.
Everyone is good, but the standouts for me were Amy Acker's Beatrice and Nathan Fillion's Dogberry. Yes, Captain Tightpants steals the show as the idiotic constable who thinks he's brilliant.
Now, I think I need to re-watch Firefly. Again.
Photo Friday: The Mosaics of Aquileia
The Lion of St Mark, the symbol of Venice, is ubiquitous in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. There's no getting away from him, it seems, even if he is looking a little weather-beaten in places. Yet there's a quiet, unassuming town not far from the sea that has gone its own way when it comes to commemorating empires. In Aquileia Romulus and Remus reign supreme, reminders that Aquileia was once one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire.
Aquileia was founded in 181 BC, a bastion against the barbarians to the north and the east. Its strategic position, for both war and trade, meant it soon became wealthy. It may be in ruins now, the port overgrown, the columns in the forum a poignant reminder of what once was, but you can still see something of that wealth today in the basilica, and it comes as a delicious surprise.
The basilica, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the Saints Hermagora and Fortunatus, originally dates to the fourth century, an ambitious structure erected after the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, when Christianity was legalised. The current building is a majestic Romanesque-Gothic hybrid, but that is not its main claim to fame. No, it's the mosaic floor which takes your breath away. Rediscovered in the early years of the twentieth century, the floor consists of 760 square metres of mosaics. It is the largest Paleo-Christian mosaic in the western world, and the prime reason why Aquileia has acquired a place on the World Heritage List.
The subjects of the mosaics are wide-ranging – animals, birds, fish and biblical scenes. In the centre are a selection of portraits, possibly of the donors who paid for the mosaic back in the fourth century. The colours are as fresh as they were nearly two thousand years ago – I'd say they got their money's worth.

Love for sale
I had written before about a few super SK-1 circuit bent synths. Well one of those keyboards, King Capitol Punishment's modified SK-1 is for sale on ebay, starting price $550.
This SK-1 was one of the first modded casios to have a step sequencer added to the patchbay. This sequencer has a standalone tempo dial and can work in 1 to 8 steps, each step activating a different bend. As well, other instruments can be patched to this sequencer, making them part of the SK-1's rhythmic glitching.
Although it's not as gorgeous as some of Casper's mods, it does feature moog-esque wooden paneling.

Albany- Albany Firefighters soaked Lee Welch's storage shed one more time just to make sure there wasn't anything left burning.
The fire that destroyed this shed started during some afternoon yard work.
"Because we just turned around real quick that, my wife went into the house and my daughter seen the fire and she started hollering," Welch said.
It didn't take much to get the flames going.
"We determined that the fire was caused by an ember that was blown from the high wind we've had today," said Lt. Billy Davis, with the Albany Fire Department.
That is why people must be extra careful when burning this time of year.
"Make sure that you follow regulations that are set forth when burning yard debris to make sure it doesn't spread and get out of control like this one did," Davis said.
Those regulations fall under the state Clean Act. If you live in Dougherty County, you can only burn leaves. Burning anything other than leaves is illegal. You can only burn them on your own property, during the day. You must be present, and also have a garden hose with you that is running.
"If you're going to burn, stay right with it, stay right on top of it, don't turn your back on it," Welch said.
Because if you do, you may not be as lucky as the Welch family.
"Blessed, blessed, blessed," he said. "No Christmas spirits burnt here."
Only some belongings that can be replaced and a little more mess to clean up after the holidays.

Not more than a year prior to when the pads of my fingers began hitting the keyboard, typing these words, I had been stolen. It was in the brightness of her eyes and the innocent smile that placed itself so divinely on her face that I was torn away from where I was at, and who I had become.
Sometimes you need to take a vacation from the rest of the world and focus on our self.
Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself-no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are- completely; the good and the bad- and make changes as YOU see fit-not because you think someone else wants you to be different
Stacey Charter Quotes
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.-Martin Luther King Jr.
"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."
-Bob Marley
Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass through a thousand bosoms without losing a particle of its original ray; nay, when it strikes on a kindred heart, like the converged light on a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected till it is shared.

About Me:
Hi!! My name is Tahneisha, as you can see. I was born and bred in Philadelphia, PA. I am currently in school for Computer Networking Technology and in 2 yrs I will have my associates degree in that field. I am the eldest of 8 bro's & sis's. But thats enough about my life, I would like to talk about Tremaine Neverson for a bit. I fell in love with Trey's voice as soon as I heard "Gotta Make It" and when I heard my gmom singing his songs I knew that he was gonna be a very promising artist. Over the years I have seen Trey grow as an artist and a individual, he's made his mistakes but it takes a man to notice his mistakes and correct them, as he has done. I can't wait to see what the future has in-store for him, but I am happy that I get to watch him grow and mature. Ok I think that's enough for right now....What it is...

Quiet LocationPosted Sep 3, 2013 on Hotels.com
Overall the 1 night stay was average for what we paid for - a 2 star accommodation you can't really complain. If you are wanting to stay in a hotel away from the busy touristy hustle and bustle then Murano is the best place to go and this hotel is perfect for this. In the evening the whole island is basically desserted. There is literally no one around. The hotel is located behind a busy restaurant. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Room is clean.

A good Hotel near Murano Faro LighthousePosted Sep 26, 2012 on Hotels.com
We really enjoyed our stay at Al Soffiador. Our triple room was spotless plenty of space for three people. The location was ideal and Murano very quiet and relaxing in the evening. The staff were very helpfull and spoke very good English. The restaurant serves very good resonably priced food I would happily recommend this Hotel.

Unfortunate experience.Posted Mar 19, 2011 on Hotels.com
This is a very simple hotel, more like a hostel. My room was old and sparsely furnished. The shower water was lukewarm. I was told breakfast was 8 to 10 and when I went down at 07:56, I was told it was not before 8:30. The waitress was very rude and angry. Her behavior and language was abusive. When I decided to leave and asked for my passport, I was asked to pay for the room. I had already done so on Hotels.com, but the waitress claimed the charge had not been debited. This is the first time this has happened to me and I still need to verify with my bank that I have not been charged twice. I will never set foot in this place again.

The girls idea! REVIEW!!
"Hunny, your home." I said as I ran to Brendon and gave him a hug. I pulled away and toke the bag that was in his hand. I smiled and the other girls were doing the same. The guys were speechless. We push the guys down onto the couch.
"Go play some games, practice, what ever you want to do. We are going to make some breakfast." I said to the guys, as the girls and I walked into the kitchen. Once inside the kitchen we put the bags down and started to laugh.
"Did you see the look on their faces." Payton said. I nodded and laughed. I took the stuff out of the bags, and took a couple of pans out and put them on the stove. I started to make breakfast. I put the bacon in one of the pans and turn it to medium.
"How about you guys set the table, and ask the guys what kind of milk to they want while I make the food." I said and the other 3 girls took plates and cups out. I started to crack the eggs and mix them with some milk, salt and pepper. I knew I would have to make about 2 batches of eggs to feed everyone. I also took the hash browns and put a couple in another pan with a little bit of oil and turn it to medium as well as another one for the eggs. After about 10 minutes I already had all the bacon and hash browns done and the second batch of eggs were going. I already had the girls do the toast and they were almost done. Finally the food was done and the table was set and we were ready to call the guys in.
"Ok guys, breakfast is done. Come and get it." I called into them. Every girl friend was standing behind a chair and ready to pull it out for our lovely boyfriends. Once everyone was seated, I picked up the plate of eggs, and spooned some for Brendon and then some for me. I passed it to Lindsay. Next I took a couple of pieces of bacon for me and Brendon and a piece of toast for him and me. I then picked up the plate of hash browns and gave one to him and took one for me. I passed the plate next to Lindsay. Once everyone had food, we all started to eat.
"So, what is this all about?" Jon asked.
"Well, Amber thought we should do something for our guys." Becky said I smiled and everyone looked at me.
"Yea, everything you have done for me, I thought it would be nice to repay you guys, and then I got the other girls in on it." I told them. Brendon leaned over and kissed my cheek. Everyone ate till all of the food was gone. Once we were all done, the girls waited to see if the guys would volunteer to clean. Knowing that even if they didn't, we would make them. But, thank fully Ryan spoke up.
"Why don't the guys and I clean up. Seeing that you girls did make everything."
"Aw..thank you Ryan. I think the girls and I are going to head over to the mall for the day. We will meet up with you 4 later on today." Lindsay said as us girls got up and walked out of the kitchen and we head towards Lindsay's car. We spent the day at the mall, talking and shopping. Later on we met up with the guys and went to dinner. After dinner the 4 couples went their own ways. Brendon and I went to his house. My mom knew I was spending the weekend with him, and my mom and dad were out of town for the weekend we thought it best we spent sometime alone.
a/n I hope you like it!!

Welcome to the website of Sacred Heart Church in Coshocton, OH. We are a community of Catholic Christians located in Coshocton County, Ohio off Route 16/36 and Route 541 near Roscoe Village in the Diocese of Columbus, OH. We are firmly grounded in Scripture and the Sacraments which we celebrate in our regular and devout celebrations of prayer, traditional devotions and most especially the Mass. Our patron is the Sacred Heart of Jesus as revealed to St. Gertrude and St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and we live the active life of the Body of Christ.
For over 150 years the Catholic Church in Coshocton County has been active initial through mission churches which have consolidated to form the current parish. The church, built on the site of a gravel quarry, was completed in 1897 and been in use since. Sacred Heart School established in 1907 with the completion of the building, was staffed for 101 years by members of the Dominican Sisters of St. Mary's of the Springs from Columbus, OH. The last sister to teach was Sr. Teresita Watson, O.P. who passed away in April, 2008. We maintain a strong Dominican connection with the Sisters and with our group of Dominican Lay Associates, "Hearts of Dominic".
There are currently just over 600 families, 60 students in the school, 60 students in our Parish School of Religion (PSR) and 12 in our high school youth group, "The Calling". Our outreach ministries include our St. Vincent de Paul Society, Knights of Columbus and Catholic Women's Club. They with the parish at large assist other area churches and organizations for example: The Salvation Army, New Life Ministries, Pregnancy Distress of Coshocton (assistance for pregnant women and their families), First Step (safe house for abused women) and the Community Thanksgiving Dinner. We are well represented at ecumenical prayer celebrations such as the Annual Thanksgiving Prayer Service, World Day of Prayer and Good Friday Service. Sacred Heart also is an active participant in community building events and program including sponsoring a float in the annual Canal Days and Miracle on Main Street parades, children in 4-H and families in local granges.
Thank you, for visiting our site. Please look around and see even more who we are and what we are about – God active in the world. You are always welcome to come and visit because I always say "there's always room at Sacred Heart."
Peace and Blessings,
Fr. William (Fr. Bill) Hritsko, Pastor

Pitt Law Alumna, Amarilis A. Diaz, Sworn in as Chief Municipal Judge in West New York
Amarilis A. Diaz, a Pitt Law graduate, was sworn in last week to fill the newly created position of chief municipal judge in West New York. Diaz, who was one of the town's municipal court judges, joined the West New York court system as a public defender in 1992. After a three-year stint as a municipal court judge in Union City, she returned to West New York as a judge in 2003.
"I'm ecstatic. It's an honor and a dream come true," a visibly emotional Diaz said shortly before the ceremony. "I would like to be a role model to other young Hispanic women coming up," she said.
"It is indeed an honor and a privilege having (Diaz) here and leaving open a way for more people like herself to attain that level of success," Mayor Felix Roque said at the ceremony, which included Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner and Congressman Albio Sires.

I started Handmade Tea in 2011 after becoming bored with existing loose leaf tea blends. As someone that loves the culinary arts, I wanted to see more unique and natural flavors put into tea blends. Yet, I wanted a blend that was thought-out, a blend that contained flavorful ingredients that actually complimented the base tea, and had a reason for being a part of the blend.
I also wanted to improve tea packaging and the experience of opening your tea package for the first time. I feel that quality tea is an art and it should be encased in equally beautiful artwork. That's why I work with artists to create a unique label for each celebration blend.
(via Handmade Tea - About)
While we're in gift-shopping mode, I highly, highly recommend one of these handmade tea subscriptions. We get so excited every month! And they are always delicious.
Also, you can use this link to buy and Nick gets tea points or some shit. But I didn't know that when I wrote this post and that's not why I wrote it. So.

The Simpsons: Season 3 Episode 12 "I Married Marge"
The moment I knew I would propose to her this image popped into my head…
Liezl and I met because of our common interest in all things comedy nerdery. Specifically, we both shared a love of the Simpsons and my plan was to somehow incorporate references from the show into my proposal. She also knew what it was like to have the Simpsons Recorded on VHS tape, and what it was like to wear those tapes out.
I picked up a copy of Season 3 on DVD at the used record store. After reviewing the episode, 312 (my area code), I came up with more ideas that connected my trip to California to see her for our anniversary to the show.
First up for my visit was to go Putt Putt golfing. Homer had worked at a miniature golf course when Marge and him had just gotten out of high school.
This was our Saturday afternoon adventure, I was planning to propose on Monday, our 2 year anniversary.
These references are not supposed to be in any particular order and the end is a mash up (for the nerds).
No little Bart was made in the castle that day, we couldn't go that exact, I am sorry.
"Yeah pose like that,… why? No reason…"
"Yeah play that Simpsons game,… why? no reason…"
We also managed to find Xtapolapocetl somewhere on the course.
We started our Monday off by getting coffee and a danish and going to the first Imax showing of the Dark Knight Rises. As we came out of the theater I turned on my camera phone and….
Click to see my Simpson Parody
Based on this scene (click me)
Liezl was confused naturally, but always a good sport just laughed off my silly antics and didn't question me further.
I had told her that I wanted us to get our picture taken at sunset at an overlook near her apartment we had been to before. This is where I had planned to pop the question either while we were taking pictures or ala exactly like Homer and in the car.
It ended up being as dark as that picture above by the time we got to the overlook and we only had a short time to take some photos. They came out great and we raced back to the car.
(Note: I am dressed like Homer)
As we get back to the parking lot we see a Park Cop giving us a ticket. I hadn't put the money in the box before we left to take pictures. I figured if I did the Park Cop would come out then and tell us to leave and I would be out $6. Instead I'm out $72. I couldn't even get mad because I was trying to figure out what to do next.
Our dinner reservations were fast approaching and I figured we could park near the restaurant so I could propose in the car before we went in. I was'nt concerned with looking cheap and not wanting to spring for the valet this particular night and Liezl took the words out of my brain when she offered to look for close parking.
It wasn't a scenic overlook but I didn't care, the perfect view was right in front of me. I pretended to find this note card in her car and asked her to read it.
My love began to cry as she read the card aloud. I pulled out my ring box that I had tucked in my sock since before we began taking pictures.
This was waiting inside…
I combined Homer's actual proposal with when Marge finds Homer working at the Gulp N Blow because he has ran away in shame. Marge has had her ring repossessed and doesn't care. She just wants Homer to come home and believes any ole ring will do…
I popped the top on the box …
"What is that?"
"It's an onion ring"
"Why are you giving me an onion ring?"
Fair question. But she answered mine of "Will you marry me?" with a
Of Course I will
Liezl then asked if she could eat and I said no that's my job. I then proceeded to pop that sucker in my mouth and she said gross.
I then presented her the real ring.
Vintage and art deco, things she had mentioned in the past that I had locked up in the ole memory bank.
MMMMMM Donuts…..
Mr. Burns playing Ms. Pacman inspired this drawing to go along with a Pacman themed one I had done for her shortly after we started dating.
Always think @Arbys
This was to make me laugh…
And the next day we went to the mall and had her ring sized to the perfect fit!
I am the luckiest guy in the world to have met my soul mate. I love you pretty lady!
