Driving lessonsSeptember 11,2013When I saw my son sitting there behind the wheel, swells of strange, unsettling feelings rose up within my body. At age 15 years, eight months, nearly 6 feet tall and broader than I, he continues to see the world as a giant sand box where reality can become anything you imagine. In our efforts to create a worryless boy, we feared that parental demon, irresponsibility. Its good enough is his enviable smiling response to demands of excellence.
There was something in his assurance as he started the car that drowned all tenderness and made me feel like a butcher wielding a cleaver with this virginal driver. I was anticipating pride, not this urge to set this lad straight. He backed out the driveway as I vainly searched for a script to this rite of passage, finding instead a flow of adrenaline that seemed to be ending on my eardrums and anxious tongue.
Tell this boy what the world of driving is all about I heard the beast in my breast advise. I clamped my seat belt on and felt some force hurl me out the door of an airplane. As I started to free fall I shouted to the pilot as he shifted to drive. Put your seat belt on. Dont you know you can go through the window.
Its on, Dad. Besides Ive got a bag over here.
Bag? What bag?
The SRS, he answered in his most respectful tone.
Bags, bags. Put your belt on and keep it on. Dont talk when youre driving. You cant trust bags. There are no substitutes for alertness and attention.
Put your signal on. Now. Right now. Check that seat belt. Check the emergency brake. Look left. Back. Forward. Adjust the mirrors. Now, not later. Now.
You turned too sharp there. Didnt you? Yes. Watch that.
He said nothing as he drove on, aware of my hawk-eyed observing. The silence offered time to prepare my lecture. Words vied for expression.
Defense is the name of this game. You are strictly a one-way player in this game of driving. You drive defensively or you crash. See that car up there? Youre too close. He could stop suddenly. Or have a blowout, or ....
Whats a blowout, Dad?
See that. Youre driving and you dont know what a blowout is. A blow out is a tire that blows up, and out, I mean.
Safety tires dont blow out anymore, Dad.
See, what I mean. Who says? Youre too close to that guy, slow down.
OK, Dad, he said calmly.
His calm response to my badgering speech spread across the seat. Why isnt he nervous? I studied him. As he drove on, I realized he knew what to do. He was competent, careful. He had finished the drivers ed course. What had I expected? A flash of envy appeared. How did an anxious guy like me produce this unanxious boy? Get nervous, son. Youre learning to drive, I thought. Primitive societies abandoned their young boys on the top of mountains or in the deep forest from which they would return men, matured by fear, the mother of ingenuity and courage.
Eskimo men take their sons on a threatening fishing trip, others go to the river, jungle, swamp where masculinity is tested in deeds, feats of strength, survival against the elements.
I had taken my son to the driveway behind our new Volvo where he was teaching me a new brand of paternal fear. To this terror was added an $870 increase in car insurance, more for boys because they get in more accidents than girls. An article in the mornings paper offered that 57 percent of 1,000 teens polled reported they had driven under the influence of alcohol and 78 percent reported they had ridden with a drunken driver. For these terrors my compensation will be freedom from taxiing to his assorted adolescent assignations such as mall, music, barber, games, school, friends and recently, females.
We were at the school parking lot now where he will practice parallel parking. I try not to think about my lousy record at this urban sport, a slightly under 50 percent success rate; rarely have I hit it on the first try. Early on I declared myself victim of spacial and gross motor dyslexia to counteract repeated failures at parallel parking. Id drive double digit blocks for two spaces.
Now here I am in the role of instructor. As troubled fathers do in tough situations, I assumed a take-charge, authoritative stance, barking orders that come more from desperation than knowledge.
Get real close to the car along side. Cut it to the right sharp now ... right about ... about here, but not too ... the other way. Slow now. All right. Youre in. Now start over.
After three of these I was sweating. Hitherto proud of my articulation, I realized I could not come up with the correct words to describe parallel parking and found myself groping, even for the basics, such as atta boy, now, good, far enough to describe angles and lengths.
My son remained stoically tolerant of my hindrances, rescuing me from this, one of my worst parental moments with the humble words: I need some practice. I sat on the grass and watched him manipulate the car, convinced that poor parallel parking skills are hereditary.
He looked small behind the wheel, isolated in the seat. I recalled the many fine feeling moments he and I had shared on a common seat. A bright white x-ray waiting room bench where we fearfully waited for the diagnosed word on a growth on his knee, the locked-in seat of the Green Monster where he, at age 8 and I, at age 40 were taking our virginal roller coaster ride. When it was over my white-faced terror matched my knuckles and contrasted his red-faced excitement. Lets go again he had said.
I had sat on that car seat so sharing his sadness on the day he had gotten cut from the seventh-grade team that I could not speak. And we had laughed on that seat together, and been happy, and quiet, and bored, and neutral, too. Our seat time was over now. And I realized why my head ached and what the beast inside was feeling. An image from the past persisted.
We were behind a wheel, he on my lap. Together we pulled the wheel, floored it as we vied for open space. Opening up now we take one car at a good clip when another car hits us broadside. Both cars bounced back. In the moment I saw terror on my sons face then, looking at me he saw me laugh, then scream with boyish glee. Lets catch that guy, I said.
We steered our bumper car wildly as we pumped our bodies to get moving faster. We smashed often, collided, careened off walls, laughing and shouting with a wild abandon reserved to that peculiar loosening spirit that bumper cars bring. We ran, hand-in-hand from exit to ticket line three times.
Could a dozen years have passed since that day? I see the boyish face, full of excitement and eagerness that I vicariously swallow. And I understood my harsh manner at this moment. Jumping up I open the car door and shout. Cut it sharper, you might hit that car. These arent bumper cars you know. I slam the door, grateful for the cantankerousness that drowns bumper cars and the end of boyhood.

Zimoun: 150 prepared dc-motors, filler wire 1.0 mm
2009/2010, 730×120cm
Zimoun creates complex kinetic sound sculptures by arranging industrially produced parts according to seemingly simple rules. Using motors, wires, ventilators etc., he creates closed systems that develop their own behavior and rules similarly to artificial creatures. Once running, they are left to themselves and go through an indeterminable process of (de)generation.
These quasi autonomous creatures exist in an absolutely synthetic sphere of lifeless matter. However, within the precise, determinist systems creative categories suddenly reappear, such as deviation, refusal and transcience out of which complex patterns of behavior evolve.
This text is taken from the NODE10 catalogue, written by Eno Henze and Marius Watz and edited by Valérie-Françoise Vogt. Please read the introductory curator text for an overview of the exhibition topic.

the social media has grown incredibly and you also must make use of the
power of social media to drive in more people to your web page.

"We Declare the World our Canvas."
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that that his place shall never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Thedore Roosevelt
Of Monsters and Men, incredible.

Followed the directions carefully after reading the reviews. Although the cake tasted good and yes, the frosting is the best part, I wouldn't go through the trouble of making it again. It is a denser cake then the chiffon name would suggest. There are so many other recipes to try out there so that is why I wouldn't make again.

KakaSaku Week Day 7: Relief After the War
"What's with that face? You should be happy. We did won the war," said Kakashi.
Sakura's frown deepened but she hasn't said anything nor made a move.
Kakashi sighed as he approached her, "Well Sakura-chan, I expected hugs and kisses. Maybe some tears and snot anything but that," said Kakashi jokingly.
"Damn you Hatake!" said Sakura as she reached to embrace him.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is the best for your children, great teachers, great administration and great parents and family participation.
This school is terrible. They have had high turn over with staff. They have all new 1st grade teachers (which there are 3 classes). My kindergartener brought home a book on deer hunting, which was in the Kindergarten section and another child had checked it out previously. When I bring this issue to the principal, she said it was age appropriate for a five year old and compared deer hunting to football. Shooting an animal for sport and throwing a football are two completely different contracts. I looked into this issue because the principal didn't do anything about it and found out from the publisher that is meant for 5th grade and up. There was also not one private or public school that had this book except for up north and Fowlerville (public libraries have databases of where this book is located). She was very insensitive, displayed a cavalier attitude, and was disrespectful to my needs as a parent to have the book removed from the section.Many families are leaving because the school is run so poorly. It is over run by disrespectful children with parents that don't care how their children act. High teacher turn over rate and subpar learning. I had to enroll my child in Kumon.
Our family has been at OLS for 2 years, I can not say enough about the wonderful, caring staff at OLS. Our child is challenged, loves school and has made wonderful friendships. Our younger child is at the Early Childhood Center and the approach the staff takes with the three year olds is amazing. They are learning math and reading concepts through play which will help them excel in Kindergarten. Finally the families are the true support system at Sorrows. The uplifting, kind family atmosphere is truly a blessing for our children to grow up in.
My daughter attends this school since Kindergarten. This is a wonderful school to have your child in, very good academically, very friendly, child oriented. Bullying is not a problem here. Everyone is accepted for who he or she is. Teachers are great, very helpful, and open to collaboration and communication with the parents. School uniforms are required and that is a great thing!!! We love this school! Totally recommenced it!
I love Sorrows.!!! My dad went to school here, my siblings and I went here, my niece went here and now my daughters attend! The teachers are wonderful, hardworking and truly care about the children and the academic and spiritual education that the children receive. The parent involvement is awesome and the friends that my daughters have met through OLS are wonderful. I would definitely recommend Sorrows!
I am a widowed single parent. Before my two children were even of school age, my husband and I had planned to send our children to Catholic School. I did everything I could to honor that decision. Both of my children attended Our Lady of Sorrows from Kindergarten through eighth grade. I could not be happier with the education they received. They were well prepared for high school and were both accepted to attend a Catholic high school. My older child is a sophomore at the University of Michigan and is on the Dean's List. My younger child is a senior in high school and is looking forward to the college experience after a thoroughly well rounded primary and secondary education. Both received a great foundation at OLS. The teachers are exceptional and all offered great support to both my children and myself. The administrators and support staff treat every student and family as their own. I would recommend OLS as a great school to anyone interested in attending.
Our experience at OLS has been a great one! Our children are happy and there is a great feeling of school community! From a social and academic standpoint, the school does a gret job of promoting the children's growth and development. Parents are welcome to be involved and there are many ways to help, the PTA is strong and vibrant. Our son started in preschool, but I did compare curriculums, prior to choosing to continue 1st grade. The OLS curriculum is much stronger, with higher standards then the local public school as well as other local catholic schools. The most important thing is our children have made great friendships, they are happy to go to school, and they are learning in a great environment!
We pulled our 3 children out of OLS due to the poor leadership. There is suppose to be a bullying policy in place, but no one will follow through. The bullying is terrible. There are some really wonderful teachers, but there are a lot of bad teacers also. The preschool programs was in constant transition and choices that were made were to only make money and not what was in the best interest of the children. The families were all wonderful, but the education was a terrible mess.
I have had three children attend OLS. The academics are ok, in general, for a middle of the road student. Children who are advanced or need more help are left behind, bored and ridiculed in the classes. There are some teachers who are incredible and best in class. They are the few, not the majority. The history program at OLS is second to none in the country. Unfortunately, that teacher will be retiring. The math program is the worst out of all of the catholic schools in the area, and behind the public schools. This data is evidenced by the high schools who encounter the OLS students. Those students who are successful in math are either professionally tutored or tutored at home. The admistration has not listened to the many parents offering help in the curriculum, and does not seem to be involved. In general, the Farmington Public Schools offer a stronger program.
My children are getting a quality education at OLS; not only are their standardized test scores excellent, they are in a safe and nurturing environment aligned with our beliefs. We are happy that our Elementary and Middle School children are on the same campus with the same schedule. The Kids Club program (for before and after school care) is great for working parents.
This school is awesome. I have had three children graduate from OLS and one more to go and it has been a very good environment for all of them. The teachers are good, the children are very well prepared for high school and OLS is a very welcoming community.
OLS has given my children an opportunity to thrive. They are both in college now, and my husband and I attribute much of their success to the excellent foundation they received at OLS. The teachers are excellent and innovative, firm but fair, and they made learning fun in class as well as on the field trips (one was to Greenfield Village where they dressed in period costume, had lessons in a one-room schoolhouse, and learned what it was like to be a student at the turn of the 20th century). The learned how to learn, how to study, and how to serve other people, and to this day, in their daily college lives, they offer their services in tutoring high school students and guiding high school youth groups. Thank you OLS for the good start!
As an alum of OLS, I am happy to be able to send my daughter to the same school. So much has changed all for the better. More extracurricular and athletic opportunities exist than when I attended. Facilities have been expanded and modernized. Technology is improved every year. Being involved as a parent, with other like minded parents, has resulted in my child being happy and achieving measurable academic achievement year after year.
Two of my children attend this school and it is a great school. They both love going there. There are a lot of great families attending the school. They have great sports and extracurricular activities such as scouting too. I wish the tuition was a bit lower, it is getting tough with it being raised every year.
My child attended 3 yrs at Sorrows. Overall both my wife and I feel the school was good...not excellent. For the money spent I feel that the value was just not there. We live in the school district and they have very good schools in the area. We chose to pull our child out to attend a public shool and it was the best decision we've made. I would encourage people to do a lot of research. It really opened our eyes.
We're taking our child out of Our Lady of Sorrows at the end of this school year. The school does an okay job with academics. It could do a much better job if class sizes were reduced. We don't feel that our child receives enough individualized attention, and it is very difficult reaching the principal or individual teachers when you need to speak with them.
I can say that without a doubt the teachers have been a blessing with the care they give instruction, the aid they give us as parents in addressing concerns, and the receptiveness to listen to new ideas. The PTG has done wonderful things to raise money for the technological improvements to the school. Father Mark has been great in making efforts to promote the school as the great benefit to our children that it is. The new administration has shown great interest in continuing to improve the education value and moved swiftly in hiring a special needs teacher after it was suggested by parents in the recent school focus group.
My child is presently in 4th grade at Our Lady of Sorrows. I am mostly pleased with the school; however, I am concerned about two area. First, the class sizes are exceptionally large (30 or more students per instructor). Second, in my opinion, the school discourages parent participation (for example, parents are not allowed to volunteer at the school unless they attend a 3 hour seminar and parents are strongly discouraged from having informal contact with teachers and staff).
Our Lady of Sorrows has been an excellent choice of school for our children. The teachers are experienced, professional, and care about the kids. This school provides for strong academics, as demonstrated by good test results and strong high school performance by graduates. Our Lady of Sorrows' support in development of strong values and morals is very evident in our kids. We are happy that the school curriculum also includes Spanish, computers, art, music, and gym. This is a wonderful place for kids to go to school.
I am very pleased with Sorrows. My son of course is not the most academically inclined. However, he has learned a great deal from school. He also has developed exceptionally high morals and values only because he is in an environment that enforces and expounds upon my efforts in this area. I recommend this school to everyone. By the way, the alleged parent who tried to discredit the school by claiming that many families left the school, misled you. The only time a few families left was because of the shared time implementation. The only thing that changed from the new system was that possibly non-catholics teach art, music, and gym. Big deal. They are still good christian people. Thaaaat should tell you all you need to know.

Year of Monographs Post-Doc
I am an archaeologist specializing on the technological study of archaeological ceramics. I follow the concept of chaîne opératoire, tracing the potter's choice and action at every step of the production sequence, from the selection and preparation of raw materials to the firing, distribution and use of finished products. Central to my research is the reconstruction of technological traditions, their development over time and across space, as a way to approach cultural and social identity. To achieve this goal I use an integrated methodology, combining typo-stylistic, macroscopic, petrographic and chemical analyses of ceramics and raw materials. I am currently involved in a number of archaeological projects in Bronze and Early Iron Age Syria, Greece, and Turkey.
For this 'Year of Ceramics' I am very excited in joining the Ban Chiang research group to conduct a detailed technological analysis of the fascinating pottery assemblage as well as co-teach a two-semester graduate course on the analysis of archaeological ceramics.

Tak And The Power Of JuJu - PS2 - Review
With the holiday season
looming ever closer, developers are trying to get their games out upon the
masses first so they can get a big slice of that holiday pie. THQ has recently
released a platformer by the name of Tak and the Power of Juju. While it has a
lot of interesting ideas, the bottom line is that it is a perfect game for the
younger crowd, but older gamers will definitely find this Tak and the Power of
Juju kind of boring and extremely easy. Read on to find out why.
The story is as follows: several centuries ago a Pupanunu shaman foretold that the Moon Juju, the tribe's protector who they adore, would be overthrown. Ever since this prophecy has been given, it has been passed down to each new shaman. The latest election for the High Shaman recently took place and the entire tribe voted for the respected Jibolba, who is extremely honest and has a very strong Juju. Tlaloc was outraged that he was not chosen and he decided to get his revenge upon the tribe. Jibolba knows that the prophecy is about to be played out so he trains his apprentice Lok, to battle any evil that comes his way. One day the entire village, except for a few people, is turned into sheep, including Lok. This is all due to Tlaloc and his two evil minions, who also stole the power of the Moon Juju. It is now up to Tak to save the Moon Juju and his tribe. Are you up for this heavy responsibility? Only time will tell!
What makes Tak and the Power of Juju unique from other platformers out on the market is its approach. The game is very comic form the minute it boots up. When players load the game for the first time they hear a silly chant from a shaman and than players will finally see him. He goes on and on, on a specific Juju and than players will find he is talking to them, and presses his hands against the screen, and it gives the impressions that he is looking at you through the TV screen. I thought that this was a very nice touch. Humor is very abundant through out the entire game, even though this title is obviously made for kids, older players will want to stick around to hear and find out what outlandish thing Tak and the characters will do next.
The game is a decent platform game with some action thrown in for flare. Players will have to collect different types of objects such as moonstones, teeth, acorns, feathers, and many other items. As the game progresses players will be able to use Juju powers, but they have to have the mana to use them. These powers really enhance the game but providing that extra boost when needed. The last really interesting power is when players get the animals to do their bidding. They are really used mostly for puzzle solving, such as getting an ape to slingshot players over a ridge or a rhino to break a wall down.
There is even a snowboarding and sandboarding levels to help break up some of the monotony of the game. The controls for this aren't too bad and feel somewhat responsive, but it is not as refined as SSX in any way.
Tak and the Power of Juju almost looks like a cartoon, and this is for a good reason since Nickelodeon is the partner in this game. The colors used in this game are very bright and vivid. THQ paid more than the usual attention to detail and animation in this game. Players will be able to see the sheep's wool move, the feature bouncing around on Tak's head, and many other things. The environments that Tak will transverse is brimming with wildlife that makes the game feel almost alive.
Tak and the Power of Juju is rated E for Everyone and needs 371kb on your memory card for saves.
Gameplay: 7.5
Tak and the Power of Juju plays pretty well, the controls are not overly complicated, and it is something that children can get into immediately. The game is not too deep and not complex in any form or fashion. This is the perfect game for kids.
Graphics: 8.1
The animation and graphics for Tak and the Power of Juju look pretty good. The character models and environments are really detailed. The only problem is that players will see a lot of jaggies in this game. On the bright side there is never any frame rate issues.
Sound: 7.8
The music is pretty enjoyable, but it is not something that will blow your minds away. The sound effects and voiceovers are nicely done as well. The one thing that does get irritating is the few catch phrases the Tak repeats constantly all throughout the game.
Difficulty: Easy
This game is definitely made for children, as it does not provide any real challenge to older games. Most of the challenges can be figured out within several seconds. If players do have trouble with anything Flora will tell them exactly what to do.
Concept: 8.3
This game is light hearted and provides a lot of unorthodox ideas that players normally wouldn't see in any platforming game.
Overall: 7.8
Tak and the Power of Juju will give younger players a lot of replay time, but it is not a title for older gamers. If you have kids who love this genre of games, I suggest picking it up. Other than that, this makes for a good weekend rental.

I needed to do some sharpening on the edge. But it's a beautiful blade. I'm looking foreward to using it for the first time.
Nice, study knife. I like the traditional belt sheath and the weighty heft of the tool. It is a little heavy for backpacking, but still this looks like it will be an inexpensive, good-looking tool for general camp use.
This knife exceeded my expectations. Sharp out of the box and a quality leather sheath. Glad to add this to my collection.
I have not receive the second knife that I ordered yet. I think there is a back order on it.

Hit the Trails and Enjoy the Gems of Connecticut
The CT Art Trail and the CT Wine Trail are well worth the trek.
Tired of being cooped up in the house? Feeling trapped by all the snow? Get out on the trail and see what Connecticut has to offer.
This week I am recommending a trip on the CT Art Trail or the CT Wine Trail. If you want to go really crazy you could mix it up and travel both trails together. These trails will definitely take more than one weekend. So spread out the fun make it a winter project.

thanks so much for all the tips. i might see if i can find that book to read, it sounds good!
since reading your post i have been making more of a conscious effort to make sure lights are either on in the morning for waking up or off and dimmed in the evening. i do sometimes sleep with a sleep mask on, though i have trouble keeping it on and only tend to wear it if my boyfriend wants to read in bed when i am going to sleep (v occasionally). i do think a big problem is that we have very different sleeping and waking hours. He is a dj so needs his body clock to be set to a later time. Having good blinds is a good idea, except then it would be pitch dark in the morning, and it wouldn't be fair to open them as my bf would still be sleeping. its quite good at the moment cos the room just naturally gets lighter. although i know for sleep it would be better for me if it were pitch black. I have suggested separate bedrooms (because he snores as well - v v v annoying!!!! especially for someone who has trouble sleeping) but he was v upset at the suggestion. i might think about it again. i really wish there was not a stigma or whatever about having separate bedrooms. one thing that is annoying also is that because my bf is a dj he practices playing loud, dancey music in the evening which i find extremely annoying, particularly if i'm trying to wind down. i could easily just start dancing and bopping round the house, but that way mania lies! particularly if i'm having trouble sleeping. he does try though.
i do really try to go to bed early. and i know it is better to go to sleep at the same time every day. but what does that mean that if i stay up late occasionally on a weekend? i had a dilemma about that the other day, there was a party and i'd been feeling a bit lonely and cut off from people, so decided to go even though i knew it would go on late. it did - til 5 am, and because i was staying at a friends house there was not a lot i could do. apart from get a cab which would have been really expensive. hmm
i don't have any caffeine at all, though i will try to avoid sugar in the evenings too. finding it v difficult though!
like the sound of the sun alarm clock. i will investigate!!!
many thanks for all your tips!

5 Simple Ways to Make Your Bedroom Feel New
You don't have to give a room a full-on makeover to make it feel new. In fact, a few simple and free or very cheap tactics can quickly refresh a space — including your bedroom.
1. Clean your sheets. Nestling in between freshly laundered sheets is probably the easiest and cheapest way to feel like you're in a new room. If you're feeling fancy, try adding some homemade linen spray.
2. Make your bed. While I have a hard time keeping my bedroom as neat as I'd like, I always make my bed. Even if there's some stuff on the floor and your hamper's full of dirty laundry, a made bed gives a bedroom a sense of order.
3. Clear off or minimize clutter on dresser tops. Lots of little things tend to accumulate on my nightstand (glasses and mugs, mostly) and my husband's dresser (e.g., baseball hats and receipts). A quick sweep can make your room instantly better organized and cleaner looking.
4. Bring in flowers or a plant. The January Cure teaches all of us how refreshing it is to have some fresh greenery. Drop a few dollars at the grocery store or, if you have a sunny spot, relocate one of the succulents you have sunbathing in another room. At least in my world, greenery is happiness.
5. Rearrange artwork. Switching up what hangs where is a free way to change how your room looks and, in my experience, is a good way to get started thinking creatively.

rearrange it!
I am a man and change my sheets quite frequently. We don't all fit that category.
Of course not every man fits the dirty sheet category. I was just passing along some information on a survey I found amusing.
I can tell you my son definitely fit that category although I believe his wife has now shown him the error of his ways.
Any idea what the paint color is in this photo? It's lovely.
Nevermind - just found it myself. BM Silver Fox.
Thnk youdo much @Anapascal ! I was just wondering the same thing! It's such a beautiful color!!
Why don't nightstands in bedroom pictures ever have alarms or clock radios?
I use my cell phone as an alarm/clock radio -- so it's not likely to appear on my nightstand unless I'm actually sleeping... if I had a nightstand.
I have two nighstands and no alarm of any kind. I just set the alarm in the line telephone located in the living room so I have to get up. if I had an alarm next to my bed I would sleep until 10 am. at least.
Any idea where I can find that art work? Ty
My husband has an alarm clock and I wish he wouldn't. If I wake up middle of the night it's much easier to go back to sleep without a) the light and b) knowing what time it is. I use my cell as an alarm if needed.
Agree with all the tips. It took me years to learn the importance of daily bed making. I can't stand it unmade, now.
Alarm clocks are one of the many devices that have been made obsolete by mobile phones.
Yes, paint color please!
I often change out the art in my rooms for a new feel and colors too with pillows, bed covers and curtains. Many people still have alarm clocks; many people do not have smartphones and the like... many!
I need that side table, where is it from?
Is there an alarm clock in this photo?
I also do change up my sheets often. I'd read somewhere - sheets every 2 weeks, pillowcases every week. I do both once a week. Then I either open the window for fresh smelling sheets or spray a wonderful lavender mist for sheets. I will say that my chest has clutter on it but it is organized clutter (if there is such a thing) with mementos from the past. I tend to change up the window treatment, pictures on the walls (I've extra for all rooms). I chose a neutral paint that will go with my purples and reds that are predominant in the bedroom and rugs over the wall-to-wall. This redecorating is done with each season and sometimes in between. My nightstand has a small cloth braided basket of hand lotions, and a lamp. At night my cell phone is plugged in and placed on the nightstand and this also serves as my alarm clock. Flowers are in the window - always. I suggest to clients to be a minimalist when it comes to their bedrooms. This is one room that should be relaxing and not busy.
I removed a topper from my bed a few nights ago. A friend gave it to me a bit over a year ago, but it was foam and slept too hot. It also slipped a lot, making things look messy. So until I can afford a new one, I'm just going to flip and turn the mattress periodically. This was a simple thing, but it makes me look more forward to bed everynight.
Open the windows and air out the room (5 to 10 minutes). Let your bedroom breathe in fresh air to replace the stale circulated air.
I don't use an alarm clock, but I do need a clock next to my bed so I know what time it is, so I can get out of bed and get to work on time.
Tried using my cell phone, but all the clock apps were either too bright, or the numbers were too small to see without my glasses.
It was a wonderful day when I found a clock with two inch high numbers that I can read from my pillow without having to put my glasses on.
Unless you are a person that is climbing into bed right off a construction site or something like that probably no need to clean your bedding weekly. That being said, if you are a person who experiences terrible night sweats, then yes clean the bedding weekly. JMHO
Oops, I didn't notice the photo credit. For anyone else who was asking, the paint is Benjamin Moore's Silver Fox: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/lauren-and-chads-vintage-comfort-house-tour-198877#_

Nissan Juke, the sport-crossover for spoilt brats
So, what do we have here? A pure SUV with chunky wheels, wide tyres, bottom-saving ground clearance and a robust stand, typical of an SUV. But, add to that an unadulterated sports car, with a high waistline, slim visor-like side glass graphics and a coupe-style falling roofline.

George Strait lost his daughter, Jenifer , in a car accident in 1986, so his heart especially goes out to those parents whose children were killed in the Newtown, CT elementary school shootings last December. While watching the news coverage of the Newtown tragedy, George was moved to write down his thoughts for those parents. Those words eventually became his latest single, "I Believe."
George says, "Man, it's such a sad thing. Having been through something like that before myself, I just knew that I kinda wanted to say a little something."
It turns out George's son, Bubba , was on the same page watching the footage from Newtown.
"I wrote a few things down, and I called Bubba," George says, "and I started talking to him about it. He said, 'Dad, I was actually thinking the same thing.'"
George and Bubba continued writing separately, and then Bubba finished "I Believe" with hit songwriter Dean Dillon . The song appears on George's latest album, Love Is Everything .

Important When sharing your desktop, everyone in the meeting can see your programs, files, and notifications. If you have confidential information or files that you don't want people to see, close them or use program sharing instead.
If you have more than one monitor, they all display on the Present tab, and you can choose which one to share.
When sharing programs or a desktop with multiple monitors, the sharing toolbar opens on the primary monitor, except if you choose to share the secondary monitor.
If you want another meeting participant to change a file, help you present, or demonstrate something, you can grant control to that person. You will both be in control of the sharing, and you can take back control anytime.
Lync sends a notification to that person to let them know you're sharing control.
Tip You can allow people to automatically take control of your sharing session at any time, by clicking Give Control Automatically on the sharing toolbar. We recommend you choose this option only in small and casual meetings. To take back automatic permission, click Give Control, and clear the Give Control Automatically check box.

Really digging the tumblr iOS 7 redesign!
It's a painful process to make something playful.
So, I have set a life goal. Build a business that changes culture.
Empirically, successful products have one to three gamechanging features, dozens of features that neutralize showstoppers, and very few features that are distractions. Your job is to build an intuition about your space to be able to tell these categories apart.
Human beings don't sense temperature directly; we sense the exchange of heat between our bodies and the environment. The greater the difference between our skin temperature and the ambient temperature, the colder or warmer we feel.
This isn't the life for everyone. You can work less, make more and probably have an easier road ahead of you if you sit your tail in a cubicle for the next 20 years with freshly-pressed khakis and polo shirts on casual Friday. But if the very thought of that makes you cringe, then put on your big kid pants and start digging. There's plenty of opportunity. You just have to have the guts to embrace it.

Is Being Thin Worth Dying?
Thinspiration videos, rampant on YouTube, strike fear in hearts of moms everywhere.
The New York Times Magazine reported on a disturbing trend that all moms should be aware of: Thinspiration videos on YouTube. Also known as "Thinspo," these photomontages of skinny or anorexic women are supposed to inspire teens and tweens to lose weight (and, presumably, to become anorexic), too. See for yourself...
Pediatrician Dr. Cara Natterson says, "Eating and body image disorders run rampant in this country. It is no great surprise to see videos glorifying these illnesses pop up on YouTube and other Web sites. As with magazines and glossy prints that glamorize unhealthy--sometimes lethal--body types, one can only hope that the images online will spark conversation about the dangers of striving to be skeleton-thin. Unfortunately, more often than not, these images seem to motivate young girls to put themselves at risk rather than to save them from it."
Pediatrician Dr. Gwenn adds, "This is most certainly pro-anorexic media and parents need to be on the lookout for their girls viewing this material. We already know that teens with eating disorders use pro-anorexic Web sites without their parents' knowledge. These videos, to me, seem like the next generation of that disordered culture -- a new way for anorexic teens to get the negative reinforcement to stay sick."
Psychologist Dr. Lisa Boesky gives the following tips for talking to your teen or tween girls about Thinspiration:
Proceed with caution.
Anorexia often occurs in families where the mothers are deeply enmeshed in their daughters' lives. So you want to discuss the issue with your daughter without being overbearing.
Ask questions, don't lecture.
Ask her why she is viewing these videos. Get to the underlying reason -- like maybe she wants to look like that, too. Then ask what she thinks that's going to get her: fame, popularity, attention? You want to get into her mindset here.
Tell her to do her homework.
Ask your daughter to research the dangers of being too skinny. It won't take her long to learn that anorexia can be fatal. But discovering this on her own will be way more powerful than you warning her about potential consequences.
Don't allow Thinspiration videos to be watched at home.
Sure, she might still sneak it, but you want to make sure your daughter is getting a strong message that this goes against your morals and values, and will not be tolerated.
Dr. Lisa says that kids could just be watching these videos out of curiosity, or because they think they're "funny" or "stupid." But if you notice that your daughter is watching these videos or visiting pro-ana sites 24/7, or you notice other signs of an eating disorder, you should seek professional help.
You don't need to persuade me with strong phrases and deep thoughts, I can read through what you are saying and what you need to achieve in your writings. I don't have to agree all the time, but all I can say is, this is just a great piece.

I realized something last night as I was talking to my friend Noa.
Talking about this new relationship, worrying, and letting my insecurities interfere.. When I think about how much of a Godly man he is and how I don't feel like I deserve to have him pursue my heart, all it did was point me towards the gospel. Him pursing me, reminded me about how my perfect God is pursing after my heart as well. This is the first time ever that I've had a man in my life point me towards the Lord instead of himself. What a blessing.
God, Alpha and Omega, the Creator, perfect Judge, beginning and end - is pursing, RELENTLESLY after MY heart. Does anyone else understand how huge that is??

NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball pitched an arbitration shutout.
Reliever Darren O'Day completed a $5.8 million, two-year contract with the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, becoming the final player to settle without a hearing among the 133 who filed for arbitration Jan. 15.
This was the first year since arbitration began in 1974 that no player who filed went to a hearing.
Baseball's previous record low was three hearings, set in 2005 and matched in 2009 and 2011. Arbitration was suspended in 1976 and 1977 while free agency was put in place.
The high was 35 hearings in 1986, but teams have signed more of their young stars to contracts before hearings in recent years, giving many of them multiyear deals.
Owners won five of seven hearings in 2012.
O'Day gets $2.2 million this year and $3.2 million in 2014. The Orioles have a $4.25 million option for 2015 with a $400,000 buyout. The 30-year-old right-hander was 7-1 with a 2.28 ERA in 69 games last year.
Baltimore agreed to one-year deals previously with its other players in arbitration: right-handers Jason Hammel ($6.75 million) and Jim Johnson ($6.5 million), left-handers Brian Matusz ($1.6 million) and Troy Patton ($815,000), catcher Matt Wieters ($5.5 million) and first baseman Chris Davis ($3.3 million).

Ascutney man fined for firing gunBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | May 20,2013photo ERIC FRANCIS
Charles Johnson, 60, of Ascutney was fined $750 Thursday for firing shots into the floor of his home last November after he got into an argument with family members over who was going to cook dinner.WHITE RIVER JUNCTION An Ascutney man was fined $750 for firing at least four gunshots into the living room floor of his home during an argument that took place in November with his wife and daughter about whether or not he was going to cook his own dinner.
Charles Johnson, 60, pleaded guilty to amended charges of disorderly conduct Thursday during a hearing at the criminal courthouse in White River Junction.
Windsor County States Attorney Michael Kainen explained to Judge Robert Gerety that after conducting depositions the state had decided to drop the original felony charges of first-degree aggravated domestic assault and amend the original reckless endangerment charges because the victims in the case did not actually feel threatened.
Whether by accident or to add emphasis, a gun was fired into the floor, Kainen explained to Gerety, but, he added, While both wife and daughter said Mr. Johnson was tumultuous, swearing at them, and fired a gun in the house, the gun was not pointed at them and they never felt they were at risk of serious bodily injury or death.
Kainen said the offenses that Saturday evening, which were committed while Johnson was extremely intoxicated, prompted a large law enforcement response to Gird Lot Road in Ascutney which in itself amounted to a substantial public inconvenience, which is a key element of Vermonts disorderly conduct statute.
Gerety commended both Kainen and Johnsons defense attorney, Bill Whitten, for skillful lawyering as he accepted the amended plea deal. After Johnson was successfully talked into surrendering peacefully to the contingent of troopers, police and wardens that were surrounding his house that November evening, officers learned that Johnson had originally snapped after his wife had asked him if he wanted supper and he said he would get his own (expletive) supper and the confrontation escalated from there, police said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Drivers who use hand-held cellphones and other electronic devices while driving...
