Boy do I have a lot to learn in this life. Why is it that some things take forever to learn?
Let me start by saying that I have been feeling a little stressed the past few days. . . like weird butterflies in my stomach. . . heart racing for no reason. . . stressed! I do have a lot going on. . . let's see, there is: 1) moving into a new house next week 2) picking out all the paint colors for the house by this weekend 3) packing up our life for the past 10 months in this apartment 4) moving it all into the house 5) Addison starts kindergarten in 15 days 6) Addison has a hard time with change 7) I HAVE A HARD TIME WITH CHANGE 8) Addison starts kindergarten in 15 days – didn't I already say that? Maybe it is just that I can't stop thinking about it. . .
Now let me also say that none of this stress compares to that of many of my friends right now. And for that I am so grateful. In the past two months I have had friends and acquaintances struggling with the following: a husband who had a double lung transplant, a husband who has a serious addiction that is tearing up the family, a child who is dying, an unwanted pregnancy, the inability to conceive, and the list goes on. Needless to say that paint colors and a new house can hardly qualify as stressors when compared to many others. But we all have different circumstances and the above mentioned happen to be mine right now. Anyway. . . in the midst of all this panicky feeling stuff, my sister suggested that I start my day by reading God's word. Novel idea, huh? I have been on my knees continually for many weeks now. But not in God's word. Why is that? Why is it that I have time for so many things, but don't make the time to dig into the Bible?
Here's what happened this morning. I woke up before anyone. I couldn't go back to sleep. I came first thing to get on the computer to check email, google reader, weather and more. The computer can't find a server. I notice that my modem lights are not on. My phone is not working. My TV is not working. I have no cable services at all (we have internet, cable and phone together). At 6:15 am, I call Comcast to report my outage. I am frustrated. It has not rained. It has not stormed. The sun is shining bright. Why do my cable services not work AT ALL??? I try to go back to bed. I cannot go to sleep. I get back up. I eat some cereal. I wonder why my kids are sleeping so late. Ah ha! Light bulb goes off. . . maybe I should take Suzanne's suggestion and start my day by reading my Bible. So, I get out the chronological Bible that I recently started and start reading in Exodus. Now Angie just posted about Moses a day or two ago and so I am excited to read this story though I know it by heart. I keep reading and reading and reading. I am totally enthralled with God's word and his story of redemption.
I know all of these stories. . . Moses in a basket in the Nile River. . . Moses and the burning bush. . . the 10 plagues. . . parting of the Red Sea. . . and the Israelites all the while grumbling and complaining about something. God is delivering them and they still complain. They don't trust God. And then Moses tells them in Exodus 14:14, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." And it then it hit me. . . I need to be still. Wow! Probably doesn't seem as earth shattering to you does it? How many times have I heard this before? "Be still. . . and know that I am God." I can trust God. He is trustworthy. . . if there is one lesson God has been teaching me for the past year it is that I can trust him completely. Boy do I struggle with that. But why? I'm still working through the reason why it is so hard for me to trust. . . but I am learning. And right there on my couch this morning, God met me and whispered to me, "Amy, be still. Trust me. I have a plan for you. I love you more than you can imagine. I want to give you so much. And that little Addison. . . I gave her to you and Rick. . . and I love her more than you do. . . and you can trust me!"
Ahhhhh! The peace that I felt as I met with Jesus. And the peace followed me throughout my day. No butterflies today. No racing heartbeat. Peace. Now several times today I have had to tell God, "I trust you." When I start to feel overwhelmed, I remind myself that I can trust God and I tell him that. It really helps. I have a long way to go and so much to learn!
Oh, and about the time I finished reading my Bible and meeting with God, the girls woke up. I fed them breakfast and we played. And then the cable came on, the computer server was back up and the phone started ringing. Isn't it just like God to find the most unique ways to get our attention. I just love that about Him!

We recommend that the latex mattress is used on a slatted platform bed or slatted foundation or box spring—anything with air flow. The organic cotton on the bottom needs to be able to breathe. The organic cotton base of the mattress may mold so it should be used on a breathable foundation to help prevent this. You may add slats (contact us to order a set) to any solid wood base to create airflow below the mattress. We do not warrant our mattresses against mold, moisture/perspiration build up resulting in strange smells, or other factors outside of our control. We recommend rotating the mattress weekly, and the occasional flipping! This helps to prevent any product failures.
We rate the firmness of our latex mattress using a hardness number. The standard numbering system for rating latex foam firmness, "ILD," measures the number of pounds it takes to compress a sample of latex foam one inch. We carry 5 different firmnesses: Soft Talalay (19 ILD), Medium Talalay (26 ILD), Firm (31–35 ILD), Extra Firm (36–42 ILD), and Hard (55–62 ILD).
Use the following table as a guide to select the best mattress for your body. The table refers to the thickness of the inner latex core of the mattress.
|Under 210 lbs
|Over 210 lbs
To create a thicker latex mattress (10" or more) without substantially increasing the cost, consider adding however many inches you'd like of our EconoFlex C55 conventional polyurethane foam. This can be placed at the bottom of the mattress with little to no change in the feel or durability of the mattress. If you choose to do this, please specify in the notes on the shopping cart screen that it is all to be combined in one case. (For example: 5" of EconoFlex™ + a 6" firm latex core = an 11" super mattress.)
Please contact us if you need more help in selecting the proper firmness. Our salespeople are excellent at helping direct you to a selection that will work best for you.
No. Often, a failing foundation is difficult to detect and will continue to cause back aches even with a new mattress. Our latex mattress must be used on a slatted foundation such as a platform bed or box spring (one without a solid cardboard/plywood surface).
* In addition to all the cool features listed at the top of the page...
All raw Talalay and Dunlop latex have naturally occurring flaws which include small tears, air pockets, patches, and changing surface textures. Not all latex mattress foams are equal. Some latex is not even natural! We offer several types of latex.
Not all latex mattresses are created equally!
Anyone can advertise their latex as "100% Natural" even if the latex is not. Real "100% natural" latex should be made with at least 97% natural tree sap. Since some manufacturers opt for higher percentages of synthetic ingredients (a cheaper way to produce the foam), many consumers are misinformed about the latex they purchase. For example, if latex foam is 85% synthetic ingredients and 15% natural, it may be advertised as "Natural Latex" as long as the 15% of natural ingredients are 100% natural tree sap. Our Dunlop latex is independently certified 100% natural latex. The only way to truly know the composition of latex is to request a certified test.
Things to watch out for in your latex mattress...
Anything advertised as a mattress must pass strict fire codes enforced on all mattresses. Latex mattresses will always contain a flame barrier. You should pay attention to the type of flame barrier that is used, as most synthetic flame retardants use known carcinogens. We include a natural organic barrier (see our organic mattresses) or a thick, double knit fabric encasement with every mattress purchase. To meet the mattress flammability requirements the double knit fabric is a combination of natural cotton and polyester fibers with a silica weave woven into the bottom of the material. Steer away from any companies that refuse to disclose what they use. Also be wary of "green tea" or "soy" blended foams. The majority of these products use only 5% to 35% natural ingredients, so don't be fooled.

This morning I came across this passage from the Book of Lamentations:
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercy never comes to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him." (Lamentations 3:22-24)
Every morning the Lord has something new, something beautiful in store for us. May our eyes be open to see it and our hearts be open to embrace it.

Exalted: The Misadventures of Silver Trout
Sarel'essa is a tall and striking figure. Her skin is dark, almost black, and her eyes a strikingly light green. She is almost a full six feet in height, taller yet with the heeled boots she wears. Athletically trim with a small waist, generous breasts and wide hips. Her limbs are toned, showing hints of the muscle that lay beneath. Her head is shaved bald, and she is dripping with gold. Gold earrings, gold necklaces, gold bracers, a grand daiklave of orichalcum on her back.
She has something of the look of a woman warrior of Harborhead, only darker in color than most such members of that nation. Her waist is clad in an expensive, scarlet loincloth adorned with small golden bells at the trim that jingle as she moves. Her torso is nearly bare. Her breasts are bare save the many necklaces that drape over them, and she wears an open bolero jacket of crimson that is adorned with a figure of a lioness in gold stitching.

SantaCon 2015
One thing that San Franciscans, new and old know how to do is to have fun. Santa Con: "SantaCon" or "Santarchy" is San Francisco's annual city-wide Santas-only pub crawl happening on Saturday, December 12, 2015. The event is free but it's not just a city wide party; it's also for a good cause. Bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to the SF Fire Department's Annual Toy Drive.
This friendly mob-type event brings together hundreds of people, who start out sober but don't always end up that way, dressed in Santa costumes parading around the city, visiting landmarks (like walking down Lombard Street) drinking at bars, and causing general mayhem. And just so you know, wearing a Santa hat isn't enough… get yourself a full-on Santa suit.
SantaCon 2015 Saturday, December 12, 2015. The event starts at noon. Meet at Union Square Park, San Francisco
RSVP on Facebook
The main rules:
1) Wear a full-on Santa suit
2) Don't be a drunken jerk; don't mess with the police, security, bartenders, or kids
3) Download Santa's song book
4) Bring a toy to donate at Union Square
For More Information:
•San Francisco Santarchy Blog
•SF Santarchy Twitter: Follow @sfstanta for updates
2015 SantaCon Details
Toy Donations | Union Square | 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.: Bring a toy to with you to Union Square first thing, before you hit the bars or the flask. There will be a San Francisco Fire Department fire truck parked outside of the Handlery Union Square Hotel, located at 351 Geary Street. Cash donations are also okay; just make sure you only give cash to uniformed SFFD personnel.
Here are the guidelines for toys:
•Bring something for a kid 12 years old or under.
•Bring a NEW toy, not some old piece of junk you have lying around the house. Put some effort into it OK?
•Don't wrap it.

This morning we packed up camp and, with mixed feelings, left the beautiful place that had been our home for the last 19 days. It has been a really amazing experience for us. Much digesting, debriefing, and continue scheming awaits. Again, we offer such huge thanks to everyone who has participated and helped out in any way. Really, there are no words.
Today was a hot day, and after camp was taken down, a few of us had a special dip in the creek, saying our goodbyes and humble gratitudes to this sacred place. The blue heron circled around the meadows as we hung around the front gate, and as much as we will miss this place, it feels great to give the heron it's home back. The huge 4-lane road Drexler bulldozed looks green again, as new grasses and plants, particularly coltsfoot, reclaim the meadow.
Continue reading…
A very special thing happened yesterday morning, that re-affirms for many of us just who we have on our side. Soon after we had got the call from our lawyer about the injunction decision, we gathered around the morning fire where breakfast was being made, to discuss next steps. We had mixed feelings, a tentative joy, a wary excitement, a bizaare situation in general. At the very least it was clear to us that this land is much closer to being kept wild than if we had done nothing.
As we gathered in a circle, a pack of 16 or 17 turkey vultures came from the forest and circled overhead. It was the first time they had been seen in such numbers, and the first time they had joined us overhead in such a way. At that moment, near the end of this particular stage in this struggle, we all fell silent and looked up, as the group of them circled above us. This was not the first time a significant flock of turkey vultures has appeared at a particularly profound time to show support to some of the people in this circle. For many of us it was a wonderful affirmation, a clear message of thanks and solidarity from the other species who we share this land with. That feeling will carry us for a long time.
Besides that, we also had a press conference on the land yesterday, where five of the land defenders spoke with various forms of media and other supporters and participants. The backdrop was the two row wampum flag, the mohawk unity flag, and a black and green flag, all signifiying various elements of what has inspired us and some of the underlying principles our lives are based on. We attemped to explain that this land occupation is about way more than the Jefferson Salamander, and way more than just opposing one development. When we get full video or audio of this, well link to it.
For now, please get in touch with us if you have any desires to work together. We have loved the opportunity to meet so many new friends and allies, and very much want to keep expanding what has taken place on the proposed-HCBP site. Lets make sure the HCBP never gets off the ground, but lets also make sure it doesn't stop there. You can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to connect. Stay tuned for more events and stuff coming up.

Tuesday Saga
As it turns out, E decided that he was tired (go figure) and he crashed about 8:00ish. G and I had to take the dogs out one more time and I decided we should stay outside with them so they wouldn't bark. One of us closed the back door and voila-we were locked out. Now it is about 9:00 and E has been in a deep sleep for an hour now. (Did you remember that Shane is on a mission trip in Galveston?) So, I go to the neighbor's (This is the good neighbor) house and call Shane in Galveston. We decided that I should try to wake E and get him to open the door. I banged on his window for 20-30 minutes and G rang the doorbell. He wasn't budging. My neighbor worked really hard at trying to "break into" my house with no luck. I live in a fortress. I go back to their house and Shane calls and remembers he has a key at the church. So I call his secretary and she goes and gets the key. She brings it to the house and lets me in. What a day!
Wednesday- We went to the zoo and looked at all of God's creations. We had a great day with our friends and it made up for Tuesday's disasters.
Signing off now......

What a day! I had this parenting thing all figured out before I had kids! What you need to do is take pictures of the super hero at his "best" and recored it on video so that you can teach this behavior to his children. Now its the 20th - Has he napped yet? Not to be discouraging but my mom tells me my brother gave up his nap when he was like 2 or 3 and refused to sleep in the afternoon.ReplyDelete

I am so impressed with your blog! I knew there was a reason God me children early in life. LOLReplyDelete

Aimee is right. Brad gave up his naps at about 3 1/2. The only way I could get him to nap was to lay down beside him and pretend to sleep as I held him down and still. By four it was not worth it because then he wouldn't go to sleep at night. I did make him stay in his room for an hour and play (reading a book would have been punishment for him). On the other hand, I had to break Aimee before she went to 1st grade. Good luck with him. CarlaReplyDelete

I have always been skeptical of radical diets that require specific foods to be eaten at certain times. I would say this diet falls into that category. Surprisingly enough, I did do this diet for the Fall and Winter of 2014 after being vegetarian for many years.
This diet is now advertised by the peppy Freelee the Banana Girl, otherwise known as FREEyourself on Youtube. She has a massive following and is the creator of the Raw til 4 diet. So what is the Raw til 4 diet? An overview is that a person is a raw vegan from the time he or she wakes up, until four in the afternoon. Afterwards, you are allowed to have simply cooked vegan meals. The unbelievable part is that you can eat as much raw food as you want — while still losing weight. The creator of the diet also says it will cleanse your body, give you energy, and help you shed the weight. Freelee herself is rather skinny, attributing it to her vegan diet ( in addition to being an accomplished cycler). So overall it sounds pretty cool.
The vegan diet has numerous of benefits, but this is not what the post is about. It is about a critical review of the diet. People have claimed to either absolutely love the diet to smithereens or to say the diet ruined their bodies. With such mixed reviews, it's already kind of a tell-tale sign that something's up with this diet.
Those who are in support of it claim losing a small to moderate amount of weight, having an abundance of energy, and a general sense of improved health. The diet requires that carbs be the main source of calories, which will come from fruit and vegetables. Carbs are an essential source of energy in the diet, more so than protein and fat. Produce can be high in carbs and in natural sugars, so that is probably where all the energy is coming from that the diet claims to create. In general, the weight loss and sense of wellbeing is due to cutting out all the crappy processed foods from the diet. A person just naturally feels better. I will agree that veganism is an easy way to improve your diet if you are willing to not eat any animal products.
However, veganism in general is pretty cool in my opinion. It has plenty of health benefits besides the ones this diet lists.
Here are what the #haters of this diet say.
They said they were brainwashed by Freelee into thinking Raw til 4 was the ultimate diet. They claimed they were persuaded into thinking they were able to eat as much food as they wanted because it was "only produce" and other stereotypically healthy food. When they would feel sick and bloated, they would try to go purely raw in the belief it would give them relief. Besides feeling ill, a lot of people backlashed at Freelee because the diet actually made them gain weight. And quite a bit of weight too.
Well, Freelee claims she eats over 3,000 calories a day while maintaining a very slim physique. Huh.
I do not believe that to be true. Any female who eats around 3,000 calories is expected to gain weight. Unless they are an extreme endurance athlete like Freelee is. I know for sure that if I eat more than my 2,200 calorie diet ( a bit extra for weightlifting) I will get fat. Because I have eaten too much before for a prolonged period of time and gained some pudge. When the average (sedentary) women only supposed to eat 1,800 a day, the 3,000 calorie amount is an outlier that few can manage. Calories in, calories out. So, this is the inaccurate part of the diet if you were to follow it exactly.
So this this is my opinion.
If you want to follow this diet, I give you the green light. I have had positive results with this diet. I did not gain weight because I continued tracking calories every day. The increased amount of energy was definitely true, I got leaner, and I felt pretty f*cking healthy. The downside is that as a college freshman, having easy access to a wide variety of raw food was difficult. A year after the diet, I got a chronic illness that required me to gain weight to help recovery, as I was underweight at that time. I was advised to eat dairy and meat to encourage weight gain. Along with the diet change came faster muscle gains from the gym. Eventually, I stopped being vegan.
Another issue that led me away from the vegan lifestyle was how restricting diets often led me to relapse into an ED. Having food off limits or eating at certain times led me to view food as either good or bad. It isn't a mentally healthy way to view food. While food is fuel and helps with my bodybuilding, I like to try to enjoy food by having flexibility.
Nowadays I do kinda miss it, which is why I am going from a omnivorous diet to a flexi-vegan one.
So, this is the gist of the diet and a general review. I hope this will help people make a wise decision for themselves.

Hello All!! :-)
|All Starch and Meat! Gotta love it!
Of course, I was the cook! Yay me! :-)
So, today I was trying to focus on getting some work done on my WIP, however, after only writing about 3 paragraphs, I was done. I just am not in the writing frame of mind. Yet, I've decided to take it slow with this current project. The most important thing at the moment it to keep promoting my 2 current finished pieces.
Also, I think that I want to stop writing for a while, and start reading all over again. It seems like forever since I've actually blocked out the world and sat curled up on the couch with a good book on my lap. I recently picked up a great book called "Wrath and Remembrance" by John Walker... Good stuff! I'm very much enjoying it, even though I know it's only his first story, and there are very many more that follow. I'm actually looking forward to reading as many of them as I can.
Another focus that I've been having lately is the Cover for my WIP. I need a cover and I'm having trouble coming up with one. So if you guys have any suggestions, please go ahead and give me your 411. It's titled "Finding Death".
Bueno mis amigos,
Until next time!

Connacht Rugby have annouced the re-signing of two of the squad's most experiences players. John Muldoon (2 years) and Johnny O'Connor (1 year) have both committed their immediate futures to the province.
Muldoon has been in inspirational form so far this season leading by example on the pitch. The 29 year old former captain has three Ireland caps to date and will be looking to play his way back into Declan Kidney's plans with the Six Nations fast approaching.
Johnny O'Connor has seen his season curtailed somewhat by injury. The 31 year old who has 12 Ireland Caps is still an inspirational figure in the dressing room and his return to training this week will surely give the squad a lift ahead of the return Heineken Cup game against Gloucester.
His five appearances so far this term have proved what an important figure he is in the team.

In case you're still cherishing some vain hope that the corporatocracy isn't as rotten as it seems to be, you'd better have a look at this:
A group of Ritz-Carlton banquet servers in Boston has filed a class-action lawsuit that accuses the hotel company of breaking state wage law by failing to pay them the full 21 percent service fee charged to all private parties.
Banquet servers at the Ritz receive only 14.5 percent of the mandatory fee, which for years has been added to the food and beverage bills for weddings, parties, and other functions held at the Arlington Street hotel. The remaining 6.5 percent is used by the hotel to offset other expenses.
The complaint, filed today in Suffolk Superior Court, is the most recent in a series of so-called tip cases by service workers who allege that their employers are depriving them of compensation by withholding tips, which are sometimes distributed to other staff members, including managers.
In the Ritz case, banquet workers contend that customers often think the charge is a tip for servers, when in fact nearly a third of it is kept by the hotel. As a result, banquet staff are routinely tipped less than many patrons are aware — and less than some patrons intend them to be, the servers say.
"Customers are led to believe that the gratuity is a nice 21 percent tip, but only part of that is going to the employees who serve the food and beverages," said Boston attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, who filed the suit. "So customers are very unlikely to tip on top of that because 21 percent is already considered a good gratuity."
In the service industry, as anybody who's ever waited tables can tell you, they keep wages at an extraordinarily low level, often waaaaay below minimum wage, by counting tips as part of your pay. So how's that for a scam? They pay you very little on the strength of a promise to collect a fair gratuity to add to your check, then they keep 30% of it for themselves.
The corporatocracy: no heart, no brain, no conscience.

Hints and Suggestions for Creating Quality Email Subject Lines Email marketing is an important part of any online business
Toby Alderweireld Belgium Jersey
, as this is what enables you to connect with your customers and prospects on a regular basis. Now, finding success with email marketing also involves various factors such as how you create your copy, what kind of approach you take towards your email marketing campaign, etc. But again, all of this will only work if you get your prospects to open your email in the first place! Just as you must capture your prospect's attention in a sales letter with your headline, so in an email message you must use your subject line to make them want to read further. The question is, what are the qualities of an effective subject line? In this article
Thomas Vermaelen Belgium Jersey
, we'll explore this question.
You probably get at least as many promotional emails as you send out -start paying attention to these and see what tactics are being used.
You may notice that certain emails have a subject line that immediately attracts your attention, and this is what you're looking for. You can take advantage of the trials and testing that others have already done, particularly when you receive emails from larger companies with huge advertising budgets. As you study the emails you receive, you should be considering how certain words or approaches could be modified in ways that would fit in with your own campaigns. Try to identify what makes a subject line compelling, so that you can write some of your own that your subscribers will want to open.
Do not overlook the value of AB split testing your email subject lines, and that is really the only way to discover what is working the best. Nothing wrong with experimenting and doing something totally different, but you really have to judge what you think your readers will tolerate. Do not forget that you can advance your knowledge about this particular area
Thomas Meunier Belgium Jersey
, and that is highly suggested.
The one constant with successful web marketers is they tend to do a lot of testing. Running split tests on anything is not at all hard to do, but it is something lots of people are too lazy to even try. Of course the more you do things like this the more you will learn, and that will make you better. Besides that, keep in mind that in order to be sure of good subject line it takes a couple of tests before you're able to reach to a final conclusion.
You must be determined and persistent if you want to succeed at email marketing, so just focus on making steady progress. In your efforts to get the most out of your email marketing, focusing on the subject lines is a major concern that deserves your full attention. The information that we discussed in the above article is easy to understand and apply, and once you do
Thibaut Courtois Belgium Jersey
, you'll see for yourself how simple it is to write effective subject lines for your emails and get your recipients to open them. Recommendations To Find The Best Web Hosting Company For You Elmer Summers
Submitted 2014-09-16 16:44:32 For those who're looking for a web hosting company to get their website up and going, there are a couple of suggestions in which the website owner can follow to ensure that they discover the best web hosting company to fit their needs.
The first tip with regard to finding a web hosting company would be to shop about. It is important that the web site owner knows what their options are with regard to web hosting companies. This is important for a few different reasons. First of all, by shopping around for the best web hosting company, the web site owner can make sure that they have the most suitable web hosting company. Secondly, when someone shops around for their web hosting company they can compare the options offered by each company and might determine that one company provides much more than another. Lastly, one who shops about can evaluate the costs offered by each and make certain they are getting the best deal possible.
Another way to discover the best web hosting company would be to compile a list of all of the essential options one wishes to obtain with their web hosting company and search based on those options. There are numerous companies who will offer quite a great deal of various options however they will be ones that are unimportant to the web site owner. By compiling a list of preferred options, the web site owner will be better able to locate the correct company for their needs.
One who wishes to locate the ideal web hosting company should also think about asking for suggestions from family and friends members. Since numerous individuals nowadays have websites and utilize web hosting companies to make this possible
Sven Kums Belgium Jersey
, a person will most likely know someone who has set up their own web site and may recommend a great web hosting company to them. Recommendations are an excellent way for a person to find out not only who the great businesses are but who they ought to steer clear of for one purpose or another. The essential thing to remember about suggestions is the fact that one who asks for them does not have to adhere to them in the end. It is just great to have a beginning point when it comes to obtaining a web hosting company.
A person who's looking to acquire a web hosting company can find one that they spend for their services or one which they use via posting banners and advertisements for numerous companies. What ever one chooses, it is important to locate the best web hosting company by shopping about, surveying options offered by numerous web hosting businesses and asking friends and family members for recommendations concerning companies of this kind.

Yes, it may be July now, but there are a few things I want to remember about this past Christmas. One being that our boys were the perfect ages to REALLY get into it. I think we were on Christmas countdown the day after Halloween.
In an attempt to make the move here to Salt Lake as easy as possible, we brought as little as possible. Meaning very few Christmas decorations. These little artists were happy to make up for what we lacked.
As we unpacked our fake tree and started decorating it, I noticed Malcolm staring at it a bit concerned. He didn't say anything until it was all finished...
"So, mom, I thought when we put the ornaments and lights on the tree it would look bigger. You know, like a regular Christmas tree?"
It's amazing to me the things they don't notice at times and the things they DO notice. He got over our shrimpy tree eventually, well, pretty much anyway.
Each year RB's family does a hand made gift exchange. While our family has become notorious for giving calendars and quilts, we decided to mix it up this year. Here are Aunt Julia and Uncle Chris with their brand new, hand crafted nativity set. The boys were very proud.
And perhaps one of the biggest highlights of all this Christmas, for this family anyway, was staying up late and watching this:

Section 509 of the Penal Code that criminalises insulting one's modesty only applies to sexual offences, PKR lawmaker Chua Tian Chang's lawyer argued today at the Sessions Court here.
Latheefa Koya also argued that the prosecution had failed to prove that Chua, who was charged under Section 509, had intended to insult the male officer in question, Deputy Superintendent (DSP) Glenn A. Sinappah.
"Firstly, we will bring to court to show that Section 509, under which is the accusation is brought upon our client, must only be used in cases of molest or sexual misconduct.
"The whole object of Section 509 is to deal with cases where the nature of the offence lies in molest or sexual misconduct.
"'Bastard', 'stupid police' and one word I don't want to repeat — that does not constitute sexual offences," Latheefa said in her defence.
She also argued that there was no proof that Chua, known as Tian Chua, had uttered the derogatory words against the officer.
The case presented in the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court today was in relation to a charge brought against the PKR vice-president for allegedly uttering derogatory words against Glenn in 2014, after the officer forcefully confiscated Chua's handphone in a hotel.
In the incident at Armada Hotel, the Batu MP was said to have used swear words towards the officer in a bid to retrieve his handphone.
Latheefa also questioned the credibility of Glenn, who was one of the few senior police officers against whom the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) had recommended disciplinary action for attempting to falsify information in the 2013 death of N. Dharmendran in police custody.
She further questioned the absence of CCTV evidence to support the charge brought against Chua and the credibility of the witnesses who testified against the lawmakers, who were all subordinates of Glenn.
"All the prosecution's witnesses were police officers who were present on the day of the incident under command of the complainant. Therefore they are interested witnesses. There were also no proofs like CCTV, or witnesses who can be seen as independent," she added.
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Suhaimi Ibrahim in his argument meanwhile argued that the words uttered by Chua cannot be construed as being non-sexual.
"My learned friend said those words are not supposed to humiliate the dignity of a man. Our contention is to look at it as a person and not male or female.
"If that (derogatory words) can be accepted as an offence against a woman, why not to a man where even laws have accepted the fact?
"I would like to say here, though it doesn't have clear sexual tendencies, but what was said surely has insulted a person's dignity. What more for a police officer doing his duty. If someone utters that word to me, I too would feel hurt," Suhaimi counter-argued.
He also questioned Chua's choice of words in attempting to get back his handphone, arguing that the former had other choice of words, but instead chose insulting ones, purely aimed at insulting the modesty of Glenn.
On Glenn's credibility, Suhaimi argued that there is no proposition of law to say that a convicted person cannot be trusted and that Glenn's credibility has to be assessed purely from the current case.
"Which means the court has to assess based on this case. What happened in other cases does not have a connection, link or relevancy to this. Court has to assess his credibility in this case," he said.
On Latheefa's argument on the absence of a CCTV evidence to support Chua's charge, Suhaimi said that the "best evidence" is the person who were present at the scene of the incident.
"The best evidence is not the CCTV. The best evidence is the person involved in the scene."
If convicted, Chua risks facing a maximum five-year imprisonment, or fined or both.
Sessions Court judge Yasmin Abdul Razak then fixed February 13 for a decision on the case.

This week (October 23-29) , the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is recognizing as National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (LPPW). The Week's theme, "Lead-Free Kids for a Healthy Future," highlights ways parents can reduce a child's exposure to lead and prevent its serious health effects.
Historically, the Week's primary focus has been on lead-based paint, but this year, there will be expanded messaging that encourages the public to "Learn about Drinking Water".
Please visit EPA's website to learn more about what you can do during this week to raise awareness about lead. Some activities could include:
- Posting the LPPW web banner on your website
- Handing out or displaying your customized flyer or a poster
- Tweeting about the week using #LPPW2016
- Adding LPPW information to your next newsletter

(C) AES Group Islamic Project
Taken from today's Guardian:
For his latest disaster movie, 2012, the 53-year-old director Roland Emmerich had wanted to demolish the Kaaba, the iconic cube-shaped structure in the Grand Mosque in Mecca that Muslims the world over turn towards every day when they pray and which they circle seven times during the hajj pilgrimage. But after some consideration, he decided it might not be such a smart idea, after all. "I wanted to do that, I have to admit," Emmerich told scifiwire.com. "But my co-writer Harald [Kloser] said I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie. And he was right. "We have to all, in the western world, think about this. You can actually let Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have ... a fatwa, and that sounds a little bit like what the state of this world is.
It is to note that he ended up blowing the statue of Jesus the redeemer in Rio De Janeiro for the purposes of the movie. I just wonder though, should the global cataclysm ever come, will it distinguish between people belonging to different religions?

I read the articles listed about commenting on blogs and did not realize before reading them that when I get a comment on my blog I should reply to all the comments. To me this seems like how a never ending chain of comments starts. I post on my blog, you post a comment, then I have to post a reply thanking you for posting, then do you have to post a reply to my reply? And so it goes...the never ending chain of silly comments is started following my brilliant post!
I post comments all the time on our 23 things blogs never expecting a reply. I think in our world we process something and then move on. I think the rule for posting comments should be to BE NICE! Be like Princess Leah no Darth Vadars.
I commented on one of my favorite blogs - Golf.com. I am usually just a reader of blogs and really like it much better that way.
I like the Blue Skunk comments on commenting and the name Blue Skunk.

Loop Resistance Bands by Live Infinitely
Although I have a gym membership, it is not always convenient to get to the gym. The Live Infinitely resistance loop band set has the bands you need for a solid work out. The bands easily travel since they take up little space even in the provided storage bag. They are a great alternative to heavy equipment. Live Infinity has put together solid bands slightly wider than other bands I've owned. Of All of the resistance bands I've owned this is easily one of my favorite.

My weekend on a time-lapse!
This is just a bit of a fun video. I've got a little bit obsessed with time-lapse recently so decided to video my whole weekend on a time-lapse! It really makes me laugh as I wish I could move this quickly in real life - I'd never be late!
On Friday night I decided to make some cakes. I am probably the worlds worst baker because I have no patience whatsoever, so me and my sister decided to get pre-made cake box kits and make some cakes for a carboot stall that we were hosting on Sunday. Our plan was to lure people to our stall with cakes - and it worked!
On Saturday I went to Body Attack and had my hair done, then on Sunday I went to my Body Pump class. I tried to time-lapse the carboot but it got quite manic so I wasn't able to film much.
Here's a quick fun snapshot anyway!

When in Rome
I recently got back from Rome and OMG I am in love. It really was one of the best places I have ever been. I've never really done a city break before, but I am 100% sold and I think I'll be doing a lot more of them from now on! I've never even been to Italy, but after seeing Rome I'd now like to visit every part of Italy that I possibly could! I have a lot of places on my wishlist, but now Sardinia, Sicily and Florence have topped them. If you're thinking of going to Rome or Italy I would highly recommend it as you won't regret it!
I'm going to do 2 blog posts about Rome. My first one s going to be a bit of a
do's and dont's post
It takes quite a bit of planning to visit somewhere like Rome, so hopefully you'll find my post helpful if you are thinking about going there. My second post will be about the highlights and the sight seeing - sharing pictures, YouTube videos and showing you all how fab it is!
Unfortunately Easyjet decided that I didn't need my luggage for this trip, and kept it at Luton! I flew out to Rome on the Thursday evening, and my luggage finally arrived on Monday morning... typical! My advice for anyone who has delayed luggage; it really isn't that bad. I always thought that if I didn't have my luggage with me then it would be the worst thing ever, but it actually was totally fine! Ok so it helped that it was only a 4 day break, but we just went out and found a local shopping mall and bought everything that we needed. The most annoying part was that my camera charger was in my luggage, so all my photos had to be taken on my phone which isn't as good quality. Now I'm trying to get compensation out of Easyjet! In future I'll just be taking hand luggage for a city break!!

Sugared Cookies
I love to make cookies. I usually tend to make cookies small. I always make butter cookies at the holidays. This year I was playing around with the plunger cutters that I have for pie crust. I figured that if they work for pie crust, they should work for cookies too. And, turns out I was right.
I used the dough as usual and press the cutter into it. With the cutter in the dough, press down on the plunger part. Pull it up and press the cookie out. The plunger action makes a great design in the cookie dough.
I got them all on the cookie sheet and loaded them up with the sugar. I did the snowflakes in blue and white, but the white did not show very well. The trees got green and the sleighs got red. They were super easy cookies for the holiday. I will so being doing these with the rest of my holiday cutters. Enjoy!!

The Wolfman stars Benicio Del Toro as Laurence Talbot who returns home to discover who or what murdered his brother. Whilst investigating, Talbot is bitten by the very creature that murdered his brother, a werewolf. So as the legend goes, Laurence then becomes one himself.
I quite enjoyed The Wolfman and though it was a fun yet effective take on the familiar monster story. Del Toro gives a worthy performance as Talbot but is outshined by Anthony Hopkin's delightly menacing Sir John Talbot.
Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving complete the main cast and I've gotta say, Whenever Weaving said "Mr. Talbot" all I heard was "Mr. Anderson"
The Wolfman did have it's share of flaws though. The whole Del Toro/Blunt love subplot was rushed, hell it was almost non existant and you can tell where those reshoots took place as Continuity plays a real bitch towards the climax.
All flaws aside, The Wolfman (as I've said) is a effective horror/monster film and makes for a fun, enjoyable trip to the cinema. I'm looking forward to seeing the extended cut on DVD.
I'll take Benicio Del Toro's Laurence Talbot over Taylor Lautner's Jacob Black anyday.

Herbert was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1927. He escaped the German occupation of Denmark in World War II and in 1945 enlisted in the Danish Brigade in Sweden. From 1948–1949 he served in the Israeli Hagana.[4]
He admitted to spying for Israel for a decade during the 1960s.[5]
His son Ron Pundak was an Israeli historian, who played a vital role in establishing the diplomatic connections between the Israeli and the Palestinians which eventually led to the Oslo Accords. Ron died on 11 April 2014.
His son Uri was killed during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
While executive editor, he continued to live with his family in Tel Aviv, where they had lived since 1954. To this day, he still lives in Israel working for Politiken as senior foreign correspondent. In 2008, he was appointed as adjunct professor at Aalborg University.

On the second day of the Monza Testing Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber bettered on Massa's first day time by nearly a second. The testing where all the manufacturers are making significant changes is getting other teams to the limelight.
The first day ended with the top runners tightly knitted together and Massa leading the list. But with Massa ending his car in the gravel the second day saw Heidfeld leading the time sheets followed by Nico Rosberg of Williams Toyota. Heikki Kovalainen was in third place. Ferrari's Felipe Massa only managed a fifth fastest time.
The day also saw a spectacular performance from the Indian Camp of Force India where Adrian Sutil managed a seventh fastest time.
Although another day of testing still remains. The true character of these teams will only be tested to the limits in the next GP in Spa in a weeks time.

This is my lo for this week SLYMI challenge, and we had to use black and white, so I went for the B&W photo and card, some embellies and grey patterned papers. The light when I took the photo makes it look a bit blue, but I assure you it isn't! Another photo of my dgs1 taken last May.
