#ShoptheStash officially ended January first, but I'm still unofficially doing it.
I just couldn't resist doing one little splurge. I was debating between Sephora (January is traditionally their skincare promotion) and Jolse. Jolse won out because of their mystery box and because I can make it rain with all these samples.
Sorry Sephora. You need to bribe me with ridiculous samples to woo me back.
Jolse: an overview
Jolse sort of blew up last year in the biggest, best way possible. It seemed like every happy blogger and customer did some wonderful shoutout to Bae (the owner's surname) and how they were never disappointed with a shipment.
Unfortunately for me, last year was #shopthestash and I couldn't just spend. Thankfully, once it hit January I was super stoked to get all the stuff I'd been eyeing for what seemed like forever.
Here's the breakdown:
Ordered: 1/4/16
Shipped: 1/8/16
Received: 1/14/16 (that's with just the $2.5 tracking guys! No EMS!)
The goods
- Cosrx BHA returning A-sol | A somewhat astringent toner that I'm really using as a pH-adjusting toner, but can also be used as a spot treatment.
- Cosrx Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence | Also known in some parts as Cosrx Unfortunately Named Essence or Cosrx Racist Essence. Luckily though, this language barrier faux pas has been corrected! This is the product to replace my SK-II FTE.
- Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence | All of my daily snail products were depleted early on. I'm so happy to introduce some snail in my routine again.
- Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream* | I love me a good snail and I've been really in some slime withdrawal since I've finished all my tubs of Missha. Finally I've upgraded to Cosrx!
- Cosrx Mela 14 White Ampoule | I may have overdone it with all the Cosrx buying, but I bought this because I've had my eye on it for a while. There are almost no reviews for this thing which makes me scared and excited all the same because I won't be coloured by any outside opinion.
- Clio kill brow (#3 dark brown) | I've spent months going without a brow pen and that–more than anything–was the one item that I really yearned for. I loved my MAC brow pencil (repurchased three times), but I'm not so loyal to it that I won't try something new–especially if it's a bit cheaper. Clio has a pretty good reputation with makeup so I'm stoked to try this!
The freebies
For the random box:
Cosrx Low pH gel cleanser | I'm actually really excited to receive this and was sending out vibes to get this as part of my random box.
Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch
Skin Watchers AC Clearing Essence | I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. I'm past the age where I'm getting regular breakouts, but I do occasionally get some hormonal acne happening around my jaw. We'll see if it can help with that!
Skin Watchers Aloe Vera Soothing Gel | I love aloe vera. I love aloe vera gel. Very excited to be using try this out this summer.
Samples and extras:
• Cosrx stickers and planner
• Cosrx samples:
BHA Blackhead Power Liquid//Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence//AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid//Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
• Etude House sheet mask (tea tree)
• italy towel
• Muji socks
• Luke charcoal nose strip
• Jolse brand: blotting papers, 2 hair ties
• random samples:
Tony Moly AC control acne foam cleanser//Etude House Moistfull Collagen essence//Tony Moly Nutra Energy 100 Hours Cream//Tony Moly Goat Milk Premium Cream//Tony Moly Goat Milk Premium Moisture Cream//Tony Moly Panda's Dream whitening hand cream
Thank you, Jolse for your stellar service and product selection. But more importantly, thanks for bringing me back to that experience I miss from shopping at road shops: walking out and feeling like I cleared out the whole store because they gave me more than I paid for.
Seriously Sephora, consider being more generous with the samples! I remember back in the old days I actually got 3 samples with every in-store purchase!
My first purchase with Jolse has officially cemented itself as my go-to AB (Korean) retailer. Considering that it's not hard to find brick-and-mortar stores in Vancouver (3 of The Face Shop, 2 of Tony Moly and more than a handful of specialty stores), that says a lot about the impression Jolse left me. Unless I'm in dire straits and need something ASAP, I'm probably going to hold off and buy from Jolse. Not only do they have a lot of the brands that I like (Clio, Cosrx, Innisfree, Hera, etc.) under one site, it's not that long for a purchase to go from virtual shopping cart to my door–even without EMS. The prices are pretty reasonable; even more during a promotion.
And all the samples. Seriously all the samples.
I don't think I'd be able to go to a direct retailer unless they were super competitive. Sure, they don't have a full selection of things that you might get on a brand's site, but it beats $50USD free shipping and a presumably longer wait to get your goods.
Parting thoughts: I'm super happy I splurged for the random box! I'm especially stoked that I got the Low pH cleanser. Realistically I can't touch anything skincare-related except for one of the essences. My new routine is still going strong and I'm reluctant to introduce something new right now.
I'm super stoked for the Clio kill brow. I have reservations that it'll be a good fit, but I'm hoping it will be since it's a lot cheaper than my MAC brow staple, even factoring the exchange rate and shipping.
Total spent: $106.16 USD.
*($10 extra for the random box)

Barry's Summer of Love
Some of the more golden of rhetorical nuggets from Barry's Summer of Love Magical Mystery Tour:
- "[A]s millions of Americans who watched the primary campaign learned, Obama is invariably articulate. There would be no verbal gaffes [on his tour]." -- David Broder, Washington Post
- "Let me be absolutely clear, Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain . . . administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change." -- The Obamessiah, July 22nd, Amman, Jordan
- "It is not going to be a political speech . . . When the president of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally." -- Senior campaign foreign policy advisor on the Obamessiah's speech in Berlin
- "[T]he objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years." -- The Obamessiah on CBS' Face the Nation
- "Throughout our history, America's confronted constantly evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation. Americans have adapted to the threats posed by an ever-changing world." -- The Obamessiah in West Lafeyette, IN before embarking on his tour
- "My German is not real good. I can speak Bahasi Indonesian but I don't think . . . there would be a lot of appeal to that." -- The Obamessiah on his command of languages
- "It's always a bad practice to say 'always' or 'never'"

Preschool education is important. That is an unspoken truth that you, as a parent, subscribe to.
The tricky situation is finding comprehensive answers to difficult questions such as:
"What is a good pre-school education?"
"How important is reading?"
"How do I prepare my child for primary school?"
Here, Academic Director of The Learning Lab's Early Years Programme, Sue Lynn Lee, shares her thoughts on the three major concerns parents of preschool children face.
3 Concerns Of Early Years Parents, Answered.
1. Building Up Reading and Writing Skills
"At the Kindergarten 2 level, being able to read is important. Some households focus less on reading and books. When children can't read, they struggle with math problem sums and they won't be able to follow written instructions. Being able to read makes a big, positive difference." — Lee Sue Lynn
Throughout your child's preschool education, he or she will need to build up reading and writing skills that are pivotal to his or her ability to communicate with others.
A good programme will cover the basic elements of reading and writing including letter recognition, letter sounds, word families and phonemic awareness. Language skills are not just essential for English, they are also important in building a confidence in mathematics.

2. Adapting To A New Environment
"Nursery 2 and Kindergarten 1 children often struggle with being in a classroom setting and away from their parents. For children, moving past this barrier is great training for school. It helps them to ease into a new environment when they begin primary school." — Lee Sue Lynn
A good preschool education prepares your child for the new experiences that await him or her in formal education. It will have a great environment that promotes safety, learning, interaction and communication.
Helping your child to adapt to the environment of a classroom doesn't just involve ensuring he or she has an adequate attention span, but also that he or she is able to follow the changes in pacing throughout a lesson.
A credible preschool programme allows your child to have a mix of activities within a lesson, incorporating visual, kinaesthetic, aural and read-write stimuli to build cognitive and gross motor skills.

3. Cultivating A Strong Interest In Learning
"Parents play a big role in having conversations with their kids. Parents are busy, no doubt. But introducing topics to the kids really helps. Sometimes, kids come in talking about cars and pandas and things that they are interested in — it makes a difference in the confidence level and communication ability of the child." — Lee Sue Lynn
Your preschool child is exploring the world around him or her. Asking questions to seek answers is a large part of learning — it is also a wonderful way to help your child see that learning is all around us, in our everyday experiences.
Talking to your child about the events of a family day out or even about animals, events and places your child is interested in helps him or her to recognise that learning, in itself, is a joy.
Early Years At The Learning Lab
Our Early Years Programme will give your preschool child the opportunity to begin his or her education journey in a nurturing environment.
Lessons encompass a variety of teaching methods in order to captivate, educate and enrich your child. Find out more about the available programmes for your child today.

I am a 43 year old Christian man in Southern Ohio, who is happily married with three beautiful children, and a career in engineering. I am truly blessed in many regards. I created this blog to explore and share my thoughts about being a man, a Christian, a father, and various other aspects of my life.

As Much As I Miss My Family...
But why? I was raised there and lived there for 30 years! It's my old stomping ground that I have so many memories from. My wonderful family is still there too, not to mention plenty of friends that I still care about. I shouldn't feel like this, should I?
I must admit that before I received the job offer to move out here to Northern California, I never thought that I would leave Florida, nor did I ever want to leave it. I have always stated that what makes life great isn't the area that you live in, but the people that you share your life with. I was wrong, kinda - it's both. But which one is more important?
Amanda and I have been here for just over three years now. I can make a pretty long list as to why I much prefer life here in Northern California over Central Florida (maybe I'll make that another blog post someday). On the other hand though, family is so very important. I wish my children would know their aunt, uncles, cousins, and grandmere better. In fact it grieves me sometimes that they don't. It would certainly be helpful for us to have all of these people that I love and trust to watch our kids once in a while.
But we would probably only see my family once or twice a month. And then it would be just for an evening or a day at most. Even the friends we had back home were starting to scatter about town and even about the country. The ones that were still there we would also probably see only once or twice a month, especially since having kids seems to significantly reduce your social life.
So for every other minute of our lives, which drastically outnumbers the time with family and friends, we would be tremendously happier here. And that is why we have no plans or desire to ever move back to Orlando, unless of course God works in a mighty way to persuade us otherwise. And even then we would probably be kicking and screaming the whole way back.
4 comments:
Strange. I feel the same way about moving back to Orlando. When I moved from Orlando I thought it was the worst day of my life, but after living in KC for the past 8 almost 9 years. I never want to move back to Orlando. Sure I still have friends their and of course my adorable nieces (whom I miss dearly) BUT I never want to move back. I came to that realization on on my 3rd visit back to Orlando. I think it was after my 2nd year in KC.
Although, I am not convinced yet that KC is where I want to retire. I know that it is definately not Orlando.
However, in the end I know I would be happy whereever I live as long as I have God and my husband by my side. It is like Amanda said, "Bloom where you are planted."

You guys ought to come out and visit us sometime here in NorCal.
Your blog did make me tear up a bit. I guess I understand as it sounds like the same reason that we are in Florida away from Ohio and Daniel's family. We'll never move back up there as much as we love them. We just like being warm too much. Still it does kill me to have you so far away. I miss you and Mandy and the kiddos and the thought of you never moving back makes me cry... so instead I'll just think about seeing you guys at Christmas time and trying to get us a trip out there sometime. While it hurts my heart, I do understand.
- running shoes said...
Hum... great post. Being a fellow Floridian, I appreciate your honesty. I miss my family and close friends too, and even feel convicted that my children should be able to grow up the way I did with a close knit family.
I'm always excited to go back and visit, but I'd rather have wide open spaces and nature as opposed to concrete, traffic, & parking lots. Not to say that I LOVE where I am now...'cuz lets face it, where I am now is pretty much the punch line of every joke... and for good reason :0)

This article was originally published by our friend Dr. Mercola
When it comes to improving your health, some of the simplest strategies can have a tremendous impact.
Sweating in a sauna, for example, has many great health benefits, including expelling of toxins, improving blood circulation, killing disease-causing microbes and improving mitochondrial function.
Research has even shown that regular sauna use correlates with a reduced risk of death from any cause, including lethal cardiovascular events, and may help stave off Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Sauna Bathing Promotes Brain Health
Most recently, researchers in Finland — a country where most homes come equipped with a sauna — found that men who used a sauna four to seven times a week for an average length of 15 minutes had a 66 percent lower risk of developing dementia, and 65 percent lower risk of Alzheimer's, compared to men who used the sauna only once a week.1
More than 2,300 middle-aged men were followed for more than two decades in this study, and the results held even after other healthy lifestyle factors were taken into account, such as exercise and socioeconomic factors.
How Sauna Use Helps Boost Brain Function
There are many reasons why sauna use may boost brain health, including lowering inflammation and blood pressure, improving vascular function and enhancing relaxation and well-being.2
Other research3 has shown sauna use increases levels of norepinephrine, a stress hormone that increases focus and attention, as well as prolactin, which may promote myelin growth, helping your brain to function faster and repair nerve cell damage.
Researchers have also found a link between heat exposure and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which activates brain stem cells to convert into new neurons. BDNF also triggers numerous other chemicals that promote neural health.
Exercising in heat increases BDNF to a greater degree than exercise done at lower temperatures, suggesting heat stress (i.e., sauna use) is beneficial for brain health.4
They found that exercising in heat increased the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, which is thought to stimulate cerebral output of BDNF. Heat stress also benefits your brain by:5
- Preventing aggregation of proteins in your arteries and brain
- Increasing production of dynorphin, which helps cool your body down. Although dynorphin has the opposite effect of endorphins, it sensitizes your brain to endorphins that your body produces
- Increasing production of growth factors, which in turn promote the growth of brain neurons
Sauna Benefits Your Heart as Well
Previous findings by the same Finnish research team revealed that men who used the Finnish-style, dry heat sauna seven times per week also cut their risk of death from fatal heart problems in half, compared to those who used it only once a week. 6,7,8,9,10
These findings remained stable even when confounding factors such as smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels were factored in. In regard to time, the greatest benefits were found among those who sweated it out for 19 minutes or more each session.
One mechanism for this effect is thought to be related to the fact that the heat places stress on your heart and body similar to that of exercise. Conversely, hyperthermic conditioning (i.e., acclimating yourself to heat independent of aerobic physical activity through sauna use) can also boost your exercise endurance.
It does this by inducing adaptations in your body that make it easier for you to perform when your body temperature is elevated. Stated another way; as your body is subjected to heat stress, it gradually becomes acclimated to the heat, prompting a number of beneficial changes and adaptations.
This includes increased blood flow to your heart and muscles (which increase athletic endurance) and increased muscle mass due to greater levels of heat-shock proteins and human growth hormone (HGH).
Compared to traditional saunas, athletes using infrared saunas also report greater recovery from strength and endurance training sessions.11
Heat, Sweat and Detoxification
Your skin is the largest organ in your body and your sweat glands are one way of cleansing your skin and releasing toxins that build up in your cells. Lack of sweating may actually result in an increased toxic load over time, which in turn can adversely affect your heart and brain.
Compared to other detoxification strategies, sauna bathing has a number of benefits, and may be one of the best, if not the best, strategy to lower your toxic load in a natural way.
As discussed in my interview with Dr. George Yu, the mobilization of stored toxins can be further enhanced by taking niacin in conjunction with sauna bathing.
While still often downplayed by modern medicine as a means of detoxification, studies have shown that sweating can help excrete heavy metals such as cadmium, arsenic, lead and mercury,12 for example, all of which can have very serious health effects.
In one such study, sweat generally exceeded plasma or urine concentrations of toxins. According to the authors, sweating "deserves consideration for toxic element detoxification," adding that:13
- Sweat may be an important route for excretion of cadmium when an individual is exposed to high levels
- Sweat-inducing sauna use might provide a therapeutic method to increase elimination of toxic trace metals
- Sweating should be the initial and preferred treatment of patients with elevated mercury levels
Other Health Benefits of Sauna Therapy
Sauna use may also help your body excrete nonbiological halides, like bromine or fluoride that displace iodine. This is particularly important if you have thyroid issues.
A lack of sweating or an inability to sweat is often a sign of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Hypothyroidism may be exacerbated by halides found in baked goods, soft drinks, pesticides, fire retardants and other products.
These halides bind to the same receptors in your thyroid used to capture iodine, necessary for the production of thyroid hormones. This results in a low production of thyroid hormone and symptoms of hypothyroidism.
The more you can excrete the halides (and reduce your exposure), the more iodine your body can use to produce thyroid hormones.
Individuals suffering from fibromyalgia have also experienced great results from using saunas to reduce discomfort and pain. In one small study, 44 patients with fibromyalgia found a reduction in pain between 33 and 77 percent.
Six months after the study ended, the participants continued to report a reduction in pain between 28 and 68 percent.14
Sauna therapy has also demonstrated benefits for patients with asthma, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).15 Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis report positive effects from infrared sauna therapy specifically. After four weeks and eight treatments, pain and stiffness were significantly reduced and improvements were seen in fatigue.16
Anecdotally, one of my senior staff writers reports successfully treating all sorts of aches and pains using a portable tent-style low-EMF infrared sauna, including headaches and general pains associated with menstruation, stiff knees, shoulder and back pain, and even migraines.
She started using it four times a week for 30 minutes per session at 150 degrees by recommendation from her doctor after being diagnosed with lead and aluminum toxicity, and was pleasantly surprised to notice its acute effects on various aches and pains as well.
Different Types of Saunas
There are several different types of saunas to choose from these days, including:17
- Finnish sauna, either wet or dry
- Far-infrared saunas
- Near-infrared saunas (emitters and lamps)
The difference between an infrared sauna and the traditional Finnish-style saunas (whether wet or dry) is that the Finnish-style sauna heats you up from the outside in, like an oven. The infrared sauna heats you from the inside out. Infrared saunas are particularly known for their ability to promote detoxification, and this is part of the reason for that.
By heating your tissues several inches deep, the infrared sauna can enhance your natural metabolic processes and blood circulation. It also helps oxygenate your tissues.

The #1 "bodyfat-eating" hormone...
To begin, I apologize for the dark nature of today's email.
However I promise what you'll discover today will be completely worth it.
Imagine a rotting corpse draped over your body from head to toe...
...suffocating tissue, restricting blood flow, damaging joints and infecting your healthy cells.
Shockingly, that nightmare is a reality for most:
64% of women and 74% of men carry too much body fat according to the National Institutes of Health.
It's choking their organs, assaulting their metabolism and sucking their energy dry.
But here's the worst part:
For most, this bodyfat has become "calorie-resistant":
It's completely unaffected by even the strictest diets... and most intense exercises.
This zombie fat is essentially... "dead tissue".
That's important for those who have 10, 25 or 50 or more pounds to lose...
AND for those who aren't technically overweight, but have what's called "pocket obesity"...
...unsightly patches of fat that cling to specific places, like:
just above your hips, lower belly, where your butt and legs meet... and even arms, neck and face.
However, there's good news:
Obesity researchers have now discovered a "metabolic jumper cable":
It jolts dead bodyfat back to life.
This allows your metabolism to burn it as calories and re-energize your entire body.
First though, here's the #1 reason why bodyfat becomes calorie-resistant:
It lacks blood flow. This has 3 effects:
- Not enough oxygen or nutrients reach fat cells, so they become unresponsive..
- Released fat can't be sent to other tissues to be burned, so fat cells suck it back in...
- 3) Metabolic hormones carrying the "burn calories" message don't reach the fat cell...
All this means one thing:
Your body can't transform into energy, the 135,000+ of calories the average person stores as fat!
You become a metabolic zombie: NO energy to think. NO energy to move. NO energy to motivate.
Update: calorie-resistant bodyfat can be now removed...
The discovery of this "metabolic jumper cable" can now reverse this process:
- It wakes up un-responsive bodyfat with a powerful calorie-burning hormonal jolt....
- It pops open fat cells, sucks out the fat, sending it off before its yanked back in...
- It shuttles fat to your brain, heart, lungs, kidneys - even your bones - to be burned as energy.
Not only do those layers of "zombie fat" start coming off, but your entire body just works better.
Plus, as your whole body burns more calories, those patches of pocket obesity whittle away.
This "metabolic jumper cable" isn't any exercise, machine or pill.
It's a little-known, calorie-burning hormone we all have... just waiting for the right spark to come alive.
It's not thyroid, leptin, ghrelin, insulin, adiponectin, HGH or any other "fat loss" hormone you may know.
And on this next page, you'll find out precisely how to unleash its calorie-burning power:
==> How to Activate Your #1 "Bodyfat-Eating" Hormone...
How to Activate Your #1 "Bodyfat-Eating" Hormone
PS - Studies show that not only can healthy levels of this powerful calorie-burning hormone devour bodyfat and fortify soft muscle, but it can also reduce your risk of diabetes by 53.7%, a heart attack by 83.3% and stroke by 51.4%. Here's more of the scientific proof...
In April, 2009, researchers stunned the medical community when they reported chronic inflammation as the root cause of several major diseases.
See, every year 610,000 people in the U.S. die of heart disease. Cancer claims another 584,000...stroke 130,000...Alzheimer's disease nearly 85,000 — and the list goes on.
Truth is, we now know... chronic inflammation is responsible for 7 out of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States! Hundreds of studies and scientific reviews prove it.
Fortunately, newer research shows you can prevent-even reverse-most major diseases by "turning off" inflammation. And in our new book, we show you how to do just that.
If you or a loved one is suffering from a debilitating condition-and you"re not sure what the culprit is-now's the time to find out...while you can still do something about it!

Is Bread Really the Staff of Life… or the Stuff of Disease?
For most us, there are few foods more comforting than bread.
Fluffy biscuits, crusty baguettes, flaky croissants… even a simple slice of toast topped with melted butter can taste like heaven.
And that smell… few scents are quite as pleasant as fresh bread baking in the oven.
But there is a lot of confusion as to where bread fits into a healthy diet.
The Bible practically commands followers to eat it: "Give us this day our daily bread…" The government put it at the base of the food pyramid. And for centuries, it has been called "the staff of life."
Of course, there are some who disagree…
Well-known cardiologist, Dr. William Davis, calls wheat "the perfect chronic poison."
And for a poison, we sure eat lots of it…
The average American consumes 55 pounds of wheat flour every year, making refined flour the #1 source of calories in the American Diet – a situation that nutrition expert Chris Kresser describes as, "a public health catastrophe."
So, what is the truth about bread and wheat?
- Is it the perfect poison… or an essential daily food?
- Is "gluten-free" bread better for you than regular bread?
- And can you still eat bread… while maintaining a lean body and optimal health?
The answers to these questions may surprise you!
The 5 dangerous lies about bread…
Be sure to read #5 – the biggest surprise of all!
Do You Know Your Body's Most Important Weight Loss Secret?
Recently, Doctor of Naturopathy, weight-loss expert and best-selling Amazon author Liz Swann Miller, creator of the Red Smoothie Detox Factor, revealed 2 of the secrets to easy, steady weight loss. Secrets the big food corporations do their best to hide from us.
Secret #1: Enjoy real food. Don't fall for the lie that you have to deprive yourself to lose weight.
Secret #2: stop eating out. You will automatically eat less without even noticing.
Then start detoxing your body with tasty, nourishing smoothies that are just as easy on your wallet as they are easy to make.
Because a single day of enjoying Liz' smoothies demonstrated the radical power of her superfood-packed red smoothies to make me feel incredibly good.
Now prepare yourself for one of the biggest weight loss secrets there is. A secret that, when you use it properly, can transform your body and your health.
You probably know most of us eat too much processed food. What you may not know is that it's full of toxic chemicals and substandard, dirt-cheap ingredients designed to make you eat more…and force you to gain weight.
Here's how it works.
"That stuff is just a lot of calories your body can't use," Liz told me, "Some are poison. And all these foods are stripped of the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that help your body detox. The result? Your body expends huge amounts of calories to eliminate some toxins—the rest, it stores in your fat to protect you. This is why most people are hungry all the time. They're not getting energy they need."
"So… what's going on with me? Why am I losing weight but not going hungry?"
Liz paused, then dropped the bombshell.
Your body is designed to burn fat. You just have to let it.
"What? I thought we were designed to store fat?!?" We were Skyping and I was practically shouting. Then I heard Liz say…
What good is a fat reserve if you can't burn it?
Mind blown.
Liz continued: "You're drinking smoothies packed with phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that pull toxins out of you like a tractor beam. Allowing your body to burn those toxin-filled fat stores… and releasing tremendous amounts of stored energy."
So that's why I'm losing weight without going hungry.
Watch Liz' free presentation. It's packed with revolutionary weight loss information—information that works. Because it's based on how nature.

*Friday catchup today. Lot of news to report around here. First off the fridge handle was my DIY project a couple days ago. It really classes up the joint, Zack's not so sure.
*Last but certaintly not least, today was show and tell day for Ek's class. After careful consideration, she decided on her item. Wait for it...Betsy's old fake eye. Oh my word. I need to apologize to all the parents of students her in class. Tonight's dinner conversation will be interesting. I have no idea what her commentary will be, but really wish I could be a fly on the wall. She has strict instructions not to pass it around and not.lose.it! At least it is her old one, but still. My guess is this will be a hard act to follow. I'll keep you posted.
|I discovered that it will be $70 to replace the handle, so looks like this will be the view for a while. Thanks so much Betsy!
*Last night was the local parade. EllaKate was thrilled that she got to ride in the firetruck with Zack. I was impressed that missing the candy handout wasn't a deterrent. The other 2 had a great time with their neighborhood friends. The highlight was Max got a koozie, and Betsy scored herself yet another pair of shades.
|A quick pic before the parade.
|Our favorite part of the parade. Ek is in there, I promise
|Part of our neighborhood gang.
|New shades.
|I have a feeling these will be our new accessory for awhile.

Renowned for their extraordinary customer service across the architectural product industry, they deliver products on time and to specification, as well as provide support during all phases of the project. ChallengeVT Industries' former website was outdated and unresponsive to tablet and mobile devices. Navigation through the various products was not overly intuitive and included a lot of redundancy, making it equally difficult for them to maintain. Most importantly, there was no clear call to action or intended path for the user to take.New WebsiteOur staff worked with the marketing department at VT Industries (who, it's worth noting, were phenomenal) to create a professional, progressive, and somewhat untraditional design that put the focus on the product and features as opposed to large blocks of content. We wanted users to come away with a strong understanding of product detail and value, but also gain a sense of how the product would look and feel in their own environment. We wanted to create a somewhat emotional attachment to the product. This concept was reinforced through new functionality such as Get Ideas, Architectural Finishes & Colors, and Tops & Surfaces Materials & Colors.When asked about the process, Trisha Schmitt, Vice President of Corporate Marketing for VT Industries, Inc. said, "From concept to execution, the partnership we've cultivated with Spinutech as we built our new website has been refreshing and productive. The entire team worked diligently to understand not only our products, but our business and values as a company. The end result is a website that perfectly reflected our brand's vision, as well as improving the user experience."The finished site has an almost museum-like feel to it, similar to looking at pieces of art rather than simply reviewing building materials. Navigating the site is now an experience as opposed to just a task.Referencing a continued relationship with Spinutech, Trisha went on to say, "Moving forward, we're looking to fine-tune our digital strategy and are excited about leveraging Spinutech's expertise in this area to achieve both short and long term goals."Check out the website

I love this vision slide from Zynga's Road Show deck.
You cannot build a big company without thinking like this:
I'm finishing up my class in computational media at NYU's ITP program. I have to say, it's been an awesome experience and it's gotten me excited to learn Javascript as a next challenge. I'll probably start at Code Academy and work my way into more advanced topics and lessons.
A few takeaways that I've gotten from the class:
For my final we had to build something and present it. I wanted to build something that helped me visualize data in a new way, and based on my experience in social I wanted to play around with the Twitter API. So, I built an application that allows a user to put in a Twitter handle and then receive a sorted list of words used to @reply that handle, sorted by frequency. Here's a walkthrough of the application using Charlie O'Donnell's handle (@ceonyc):
Here's another visualization of @replies to Gary Vaynerchuck:
As you can see, it needs a bunch of work before it presents real value. On the upside, I was able to dynamically access the Twitter API, pull and sort data, and display it. I'm looking forward to continuing to build on what I started at ITP!

Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) is sending signals that he's willing to make a deal on healthcare reform.
In a number of recent interviews, Gregg has said he's willing to work with Democrats to find common ground.
"Let's step back lets start with a blank sheet of paper and let's put on that piece of paper things we can agree about," Gregg told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today.
"There are a lot of places I see we could make progress on if we started with that blank piece of paper," he added.
The specifics Gregg mentioned--medical malpractice reform and healthy lifestyle incentives--are unlikely to be game changers in the healthcare debate. Nevertheless, the New Hampshire Republican said the White House had been in touch with his office, though no major breakthroughs seem imminent.

Yesterday, many in the media seemed more upset with Mitt Romney about his response Obama's response to the mob violence in Cairo and Bhengazi in which he was points out how upset he was with the first response of the Cairo embassy, and thus Obama, was only about how upset they, meaning he who was Obama, were upset that a video upset the people and not about how they, again they being he being Obama, were not upset about the mob violence.
The media pointed out that the first response Romney was reacting to was not a response to the violence because the people of Cairo had not yet formed a mob which in turned started to act violently in response to a video.
What the press was too busy to notice in their rush to call Romney's response premature is that he wouldn't have responded if he had nothing to respond to. If only the Cairo Embassy, meaning Obama, had waited for the the crowd to turn into the mob that would in turn turn violent. So it seems that Romney was only responding to Obama's response which was premature since it did not even wait for the mob to respond with violence.
Others try to point out, including Josh Rogin in what now appears to be the left leaning Foreign Policy (Condoleezza Rice staffer Christian Brose and McCain advisor Steve Biegun will undoubtedly response with their resignations to this development,) that the responses from the Cairo Embassy, meaning Obama, were not authorized by the State Department, meaning not Obama, and that the Sate Department, again not Obama, asked them, this time Obama, to not respond. But the embassy, I'm just going to say Obama from now on, responded anyway. So maybe Obama should should have listened to the State Department and not responded to the violence that had not happened instead of jumping the gun and responding to violence that was happening when Romney responded.
So in response, Romney would have never responded if Obama hadn't hired Obama to run the press office for the Cairo Embassy.
UPDATE: Romney tells press that Cairo Embassy violence wouldn't have happened if Obama wasn't president and he was, meaning Romney because Romney would have responded to the violent mob well before they were violent because he would have seen it coming and kept things from getting violent by doing things he will later tell us about when he's elected. Unlike Obama and his people at the Cairo Embassy whom Romney said did not see it coming as evidenced by the response sent out hours before violence occurred in that Obama tried to placate angry Egyptians.
UPDATE on UPDATE: Romney also wants press to make sure that they understand the violence in Libya which seems to have been a coordinated attack to mark 9/11 rather than a mindless mob once more had become known about the attack but this was only found out after Romney had already responded to violence to both Egypt and Libya but he was really only talking about Egypt since he hasn't mentioned Libyan attack on embassy again in his attack on the Obama's Cairo Embassy's response to the violence that has not yet occurred in Egypt and not to violence that was also not yet occurring in Libya.

I was at my beach house and was extremely bored. I could have nearly died of boredom. Luckily my cousins were there. We were playing in the sandpit but we had done that a million times. We would normally be playing play-station but we weren't allowed.
Then my Dad said" Why don't you go to the park and make a hut''? So we went to the park. It was lucky there was no-one there otherwise they might have followed us to out hut spot. We went over to the track which is in the bush and went down it.
We walked off the track and looked for a hut. It took half an hour to find a good place but it was worth it. The only problem was someone had already found it. We knew that because some of the walls were already made.
We worked on it for ages. We broke branches and made walls with them. We stayed there all day. We found some logs and used them as seats.
We saw some people.. "Oh no!" I said. "There's some people over there on the track!"
They might be some of the people who made the walls. We followed them but they just went down to the beach.
It was time to go home. We wanted to stay but it was dinner time so we got all our stuff and walked home.
When we got home we told our parents about it Mum said we could go tomorrow if we wanted to, we all said ''yes''!

So I have received some great feedback on where I could start to look for more information on The Stamp Act. The first website I checked out was suggested to me by Rick from the Stow Minutemen Company. He suggested I check out this blog post:
It was there that I discovered a picture of one of the few examples of what a stamp looked like. This stamp was supposed to appear on any papers of any kind, and of course you had to pay for the stamp, so every time you used a piece of paper, you were paying money to the English crown.
This picture is from an exhibit at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library & Museum. The stamp was on loan from Massachusetts Historical Society. Here is the write-up that went with the photo:
The Stamp Act of 1765 taxed all paper products - legal documents, business records, even playing cards - and specified that taxes be paid in "hard money." This Act threatened every single American and would drain all coinage from the colonies.
Love the picture!!
Rick also suggested another site that my lovely husband had already suggested to me.
This is a quick write-up on The Stamp Act from the Colonial Williamsburg website. This write-up explains the result of The Stamp Act, which we saw from the link above, but it also gave me some insight as to why the British had decided to pass it. It seems that there were going to be 10,000 troops placed near the Appalachian Mountains to help protect that area. The money that was raised from the sale of these stamps would help fund this.
Again this little article iterates that the cost of the stamps was not the issue whatsoever for the colonists, it was the fact that the British felt they could raise funds in America without any approval by the legislatures set up here. The colonists didn't mind paying taxes, they were already doing that for some time, what they minded was paying taxes for things they didn't necessarily approve of. And if the colonists just rolled over and accepted this particular tax, they were afraid that it would set precedence for future taxation from England.
Patrick Henry had his Stamp Act resolves, which he tried to get passed through the House of Burgess in Virginia. They stated that Virginians should not pay any taxes unless the House of Burgess passed them. That Americans should have the same rights as the English, which meant they had the right to be taxed only by their representatives. Most of these resolves were turned down, but four of them did pass. However, the Governor did not approve and he dissolved the House of Burgesses as a response to the passing of the four Stamp Act resolves.
This is some great information and really gives me a little more insight into what The Stamp Act was and why the colonists met it with such disdain. I feel like I have only hit the tip of the iceberg here though. I have a few more suggestions for websites and books that I will be sharing in some future posts. I will also be trying to do some more research into more specific aspects of all of this.

Restoration in New Jersey
Another great article was shared in the RevWar Yahoo group I am a part of. It is an editorial from NorthJersey.com regarding the restoration of an historical area that was affected by floods in early 2007. Here is a link directly to the article, and below I have put the text. I found it to be very interesting, and I always love to see another historical site saved!
Troubled bridge over water
Saturday, June 28, 2008
CALAMITOUS it was, but the April 2007 nor'easter that wreaked havoc on one of North Jersey's most historic sites may have provided the spark that will transform Historic New Bridge Landing into a long-envisioned educational and tourist destination.
The storm brought floodwaters 28 inches deep from the swollen Hackensack River into the site of the former Colonial mill hamlet off Main Street in River Edge, north of The Shops at Riverside. Particularly hard hit was the Steuben House, an early-18th-century Dutch Colonial brownstone that held about 600 historic documents and artifacts attesting to the area's pivotal role in forging this nation.
That story is simple but compelling: After the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the British invaded New York and drove Gen. George Washington and his bedraggled Continental Army north to Harlem and White Plains and ultimately west across the Hudson River to Fort Lee. With British troops in hot pursuit up the Palisades, Washington continued his retreat through what is now Englewood to the narrows of the Hackensack, where today the borders of Teaneck, New Milford and River Edge meet. They crossed a simple wooden bridge, then burned it, stalling the British chase.
By December, Washington had crossed New Jersey into Pennsylvania, only to famously cross the Delaware and retake British-occupied Trenton, providing Americans their first victory of the Revolutionary War and proving that the scruffy Colonials could outwit the greatest army in the world.
Memorializing that critical juncture is a relatively obscure state park containing a bucolic riverside village of historic cottages and an unusual iron truss swing bridge built in 1888. It's fronted by a jughandle and a barren lot contaminated by lead and petroleum from a former auto parts junkyard. But that would change if new efforts prompted by last year's devastation – to preserve, restore and interpret the site - succeed.
Already, the state Department of Environmental Protection is committed to removing 20,000 cubic yards of tainted soil, which could lead to construction of an appropriate gateway to the area from downtown River Edge. In a show of bipartisan cooperation, state Sens. Loretta Weinberg, D-Teaneck, and Gerald Cardinale, R-Cresskill, have introduced a bill that would boost local control of the site by transferring financial and administrative responsibilities from the state to the Historic New Bridge Landing Park Commission, composed mostly of local residents.
But perhaps most significant, the commission and the Bergen County Historical Society have joined forces to dramatically transform the area with construction of a new museum, a visitors center and restoration of the Steuben House. Especially appealing are historically sensitive plans to design the museum to resemble the Veldran Mill that once stood in nearby Oradell – raised on stilts to stand above river floods, as Colonial mills often were – and model the visitors center on the original Hackensack courthouse, built in 1819.
With an estimated cost of $1.25 million, the goal of an upcoming fund-raising drive is realistic and attainable. The historical society hopes to involve schoolchildren – who often visit the site on field trips for a firsthand look at American history – in the preservation effort through penny drives and other projects. And certainly local residents and businesses should support this attempt to finally give the site the attention it deserves.
After all, it's the bridge that saved a nation.
Believe me yours faithfully,

The Stamp Act 1765
Okay so my first research project will be from the more General Timeline I am using, and that will be "The Stamp Act." According to the timeline, this occurred in 1765:
Parliament passes The Stamp Act as a means to pay for British troops on the American frontier. Colonists violently protest the measure.
In the time line there is a link to more information about the Stamp Act:
The question was never the immediate amount of taxation that the British were asking of the colonists. The question was whether the British had the right to do it at all. We're talking about people [the American colonists] with enormous sensitivity to the dangers of power. If you conceded the right to Parliament to tax and if there was no check on it, no limit, it could go on indefinitely. You could be bled white. The power to tax was the power to destroy."
—Pauline Maier, Scholar
Contrary to popular impression, taxes in America existed throughout the colonial period prior to the American Revolution. Colonial governments relied on a variety of taxes to support themselves including poll, property and excise taxes. The great Boston patriot, Samuel Adams, was himself a tax collector, though not a very good one. His accounts were [sterling]8,000 in arrears at the time The Stamp Act was implemented.
What outraged colonists was not so much the tax as the fact that it was being imposed from England. Reaction to the Stamp Act in the colonies was swift and, on occasion, riotous.
In Virginia, Patrick Henry made a reputation for himself in a bold speech before the House of Burgesses. "Caesar had his Brutus, Charles I his Cromwell," he said. "May George III profit from their example."
In Massachusetts, rioters ransacked the home of the newly appointed stamp commissioner, Andrew Oliver. He resigned the position the next day.
Threatening or attacking the Crown-appointed office-holders became a popular tactic against the act throughout the colonies. Though no stamp commissioner was actually tarred and feathered, this Medieval brutality was a popular form of 18th century mob violence in Great Britain, particularly against tax collectors.
Tarring and feathering dated back to the days of the Crusades and King Richard the Lionhearted. It began to appear in New England seaports in the 1760s and was most often used by patriot mobs against loyalists. Tar was readily available in shipyards and feathers came from any handy pillow. Though the cruelty invariably stopped short of murder, the tar needed to be burning hot for application.
By November 1, 1765, the day the Stamp Act was to officially go into effect, there was not a single stamp commissioner left in the colonies to collect the tax.
This is just the start, I will do some more research on The Stamp Act and present it in a future post, but if anyone has anything to add or places to look before I do so, please feel free to leave me a comment.

Upcoming Event! Hubbardton, VT - July 4, 2008
We will be having a few events on July 4th this year. One event will be a parade through downtown Amherst, NH. It's usually a very nice parade, and it helps the regiment earn a little money to be able to continue going to the larger, unpaid, weekend events.
Some of our regiment will also be at Strawberry Banke in Portsmouth, NH. We did this last year, and it was a lot of fun. They have reenactors from all different time periods, games and shows for the kiddies, and demonstrations from all the reenactors. If you are in that area I highly suggest it. Here's a little information right from their site:
Friday, July 4
12:00 noon–5:00 pm
An American Celebration!
A real old-fashioned fabulous 4th of July! Complete with children's parade, traditional games and crafts, historic garden tours, music, living history, food and fun for all.

Another event we will be attending on July 4th weekend is a battle reenactment at Hubbardton, VT. Here is a little information about the event itself. It will be held on July 5th and 6th, though we will be arriving to set up camp on July 4th.

Timeline Project
So this is a project I have wanted to do since I started the blog. I want to take a timeline of the Revolutionary War and explore each event a little more. I really enjoy getting to know the people themselves, and researching that, which I will continue to do, but I also want to have some more knowledge about the events and politics of the time. Right now I know next to nothing. The Revolutionary War was not a time period I was particularly interested in until we fell into this hobby. So if anyone has anything to add to any of my posts in order to point me in the direction of where I can do more research, or if you just have some good info to share, I would love to hear it!
I have decided to use two timelines. One is more general, the other more detailed for the individual battles themselves. However, I am willing to take suggestions for a better timeline if someone has one.
More General Timeline
More Detailed Time Line
I will do my research mostly on the web, though I may venture out to some books as well. But I am a child of the information age, so I prefer the ease of researching on the Internet. Also I am by no means a historian, so I cannot go to the root of all of this and do some hard-core research, I will be using research from other people and, of course, I will cite my source for you. Again if you have suggestions of where I can look for more info, I would appreciate it oh so much!
This will be a work in progress. I will do my best to keep things in date order, but if I find new and interesting information about an older post, I will share it. I want my blog to be a holding ground for all the information I learn about this time period, therefore I am not going to leave anything out for the sake of keeping the blog clean. Not all my sources will be 100% accurate I am sure, but really is anything? If I need to correct something I put in here, I will.
My Timeline as it Stands:
What was the Stamp Act?
Why were the Colonists so mad about the Stamp Act?
What did the Stamp Act really say? Part 1  Part 2  Part 3
Who was Andrew Oliver?
What were Patrick Henry's Resolves?
What is Tar and Feathering?

Even more on Canes!
I got a great comment today on my canes post. This all started with this post, where I questioned a cane in a picture as to whether it would only be the wealthy that carried one of these. Well the gentleman (Ed St. Germain) that originally posted the pictures on his site, emailed me back about it all, which I posted here. Then just today I got a great comment on that post from Rick Randall, and I wanted to pull it out of the comments and share it with all of you, cause you know I'm all about sharing here. And I want to encourage more of you to leave me comments teaching me something new, cause I have a deep need and willingness to learn. Anyway, here is his great comment:
The reason that a cane became a mark of a physician is simple.
Not only are the smells associated with untreated (by 21st Century standards) disease quite repulsive, but it was believed that disease was passed along via miasmas (bad smells -- in fact, malaria means "bad air").
The cane has a perforated hollow head which is filled with strong smelling herbs and such -- think potpouri on steroids. The idea was that, by overwhelming the bad odors, not only did one avoid the revolting smells, but one protected himself from the disease vector. Both silver and gold were used extensively by physicians.
Note that in engravings and such where the artist is trying to identify a character as a physician, he will invariably be holding his cane head to his nose.
Women of stature or who anticipated working in an area where strong foul odors would be encountered would often do the same thing, except using a locket (or, if poorer, a small linen wrapped packet) on a ribbon instead of a cane. Unfortunately, I cannot go into detail on women's fashions, as my knowledge of them is limited to what I have picked up by osmosis.

Very interesting and it makes perfect sense! I have heard somewhere in the past (8th grade history? Was I fully awake in that class?), that disease was thought to be spread by bad odors (which I would guess there were a lot of them back then) and they carried these good smelling things to help ward off disease. I never realized they put it right in their canes! Very interesting.
Here are 2 websites that Rick left. I want to point you to them for him, since he was kind enough to share his information with me, I'll share his with you. Thanks Rick!
Believe me yours faithfully,

HMS Ontario found!
Recently a Revolutionary War Era British warship was found in Lake Ontario. It is out of diving range for everyone except the most specialized divers with extra special equipment, which may be why it is still fully intact. That along with that fact that it's in fresh water, not salt water. They say they do not plan on raising the ship, but I hope they do take the time to explore it, could be extremely interesting. Here are a few articles recounting the findings:
And here is some text direct from a shorter article published by UPI.com:
ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 13 (UPI) --
The wreck of a British warship that sank in a gale on Lake Ontario in 1780 has been located off the New York shoreline, its finders announced Friday.
Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville said the HMS Ontario is 500 feet below the surface, sitting upright on the bottom with both its masts still in place, the Los Angeles Times reported. The discovery team said they found the vessel between Niagara and Rochester, N.Y., this month after three years of searching.
The Ontario, an 80-foot brig-sloop, was launched in the spring of 1780 on Carleton Island in the St. Lawrence River. The vessel was used as a transport around Lake Ontario until Oct. 31 of that year.
There were 120 people, including women and children -- and possibly 30 American prisoners -- on board when the vessel went down in a sudden, violent gale, the Times said.
The two men located the Ontario with a side-scan sonar invented by Kennard and explored it with a remote-control vehicle designed by Scoville. They said they did not remove anything from the Ontario because they consider it a war grave.
And here is a video that was posted on YouTube:

West Boylston - June 2008 - Sunday
On Sunday there was no battle. The plan was to have some friendly games with the boys and their guns. But the heat was so intense, that all events were tentatively canceled. Even by early morning the boys looked like they were ready to melt.
We started the morning with a lovely breakfast prepared by Debbie. Starting with sausages …
and pancakes …
and finally some melons cut by Kitty …
After breakfast the men went behind the tent and cleaned their guns from the day before.
A lot of people left early in the morning, and I can't say I blame them. Some of them had a ways to drive, and the heat was just horrid. We decided to wait it out for a bit because we didn't have as far to drive (comparatively speaking) and we figured it would be easier to pack up after some of the other regiments were gone. I made sandwiches and pasta salad for lunch, and someone decided that they would have one of the competitions that had originally been cancelled. It was a "Last Man Standing" competition. The instructions, as relayed in an email, are as follows:
The final event is known as "The Last Man Standing". All registered participants, including members not part of a team, are encouraged to participate. This event will determine who is the fastest individual within the BB or CL. Time will begin at 35 seconds and count down by 5 seconds until 25 seconds. Time will count down by one second thereafter until there is a last man standing. Time starts from the firing position and ends when the musket is at the shoulder. If time is called -usually through a whistle blow - before the musket is at the shoulder, that individual is disqualified. When the musket is fired, if there is a mis-fire, that individual is disqualified. An individual moves to the next round only when the musket has got to the shoulder within the allotted time and has discharged. If the top three individuals are part of a participating competitive unit, then points will be awarded to each unit that the individual is part of.
I didn't quite understand how it would work, but it ended up being a lot of fun to watch. Basically the men that were participating lined up and someone would start a timer. Each guy then had to do a dry fire and reload their gun and have the gun to their shoulder ready to fire once time was called. If they made any mistakes they were disqualified. Then they went down the line and each person fired their gun, if it mis-fired they were disqualified. If it fired they continued on to the next round.
It was a quick, but fun, event. I hope they do it again at another event. I think it really engages the crowd. No one from the 1st NH participated, but I think they would if it was done at another event.
Sunday was a fun day and it was so nice to only have an hour drive home. I don't think we have any other weekend events that are that close. I hope West Boylston makes this a yearly event, though it was small in size, it was big in fun.
If you want to see all the pictures from Sunday check out my gallery here.
Believe me yours faithfully,

West Boylston - June 2008 - News from the Front
There's nothing better then sitting around an open campfire, in the early morning drinking coffee and preparing for the day ahead.
Except when a beautiful lady fetches you a glass of water of course, since it was scorching hot out, Rachel wanted to make sure I was completely hydrated.
While I concentrated on the battle and Rachel concentrated on the water, Kolby concentrated on what was most important, at least to him anyway, filling his tummy.
After the necessities were taken care of we lined up to prepare for battle.
I was exceptionally happy about going into battle.
As we marched into battle Kolby and Jeffery said that they would meet us there.
We waited around for them to show up …
but they must have gotten lost …
or just have gotten a better offer …
Whatever the reason, we waited for them as long as we could, until finally our O.M.V. (official military vehicle) showed up.
Although Dan was still deep in thought about what had happened to the boys.
Upon arrival to the field we took care of the necessities ... our mid morning snack.
In the past my musket didn't work, in fact due to a soft frizzen, it didn't work once in Pennsylvania. In West Boylston (after I had sent it to the shop to get the frizzen hardened), the musket completely redeemed itself. It turned into the little musket that could. That, however, is the reason I don't have more pictures of the skirmish itself. Since I was fighting in the skirmish, and not trying to fix my musket, I wasn't able to get many pictures, though I did manage a few.
Bruce and myself volunteered for a detachment of six to go into the battle separately from the rest of the group. At first the rest of the group was hesitant to accept me since I'm still sort of new to the hobby ...
but after I got my hands or face a little dirty, they warmed right up.
I do want to take the time to thank them all for allowing me to fight with them and taking the time to teach me so much.
Finally after a morning of combat, sweating it in the woods, we were able to surface stack our muskets …
and mingle amongst our allies and the British. It was the "99 Degree Heat Truce".
However, a small group did not take part in the truce.
Nana Janie didn't mind the truce she was just disappointed that there were no Indians.
Soon, however, we all had to prepare for another battle …
We did post lookouts …
and while no one was looking we kept the truce going for as long as we could.
Finally though, as nice as the truce was, our friends became our targets …
after the French fired the first shot …
and so then the little musket that could decided that it didn't want to play anymore. So I was left holding the camera. The battle was excellent.
Both sides fought well, even if those that died did so conveniently in the shade.
The red coats fought hard …
but were no match for the mightiness of the continentals …
well some of them anyway.
In the end, the heat got to everyone and since most of them were laying in the shade anyway, or their muskets stopped firing. There was no clear winner in the battle, except maybe the sun ... or Kolby and Jeffery, who were really the smart ones.
And I want to thank the town of West Boylston for having us it was truly a wonderful time.
Very respectful,

Does God give the final okay to the events that influence our lives? Is God in control of every aspect of human nature as well as "mother nature?" To make responses to such statements that could be interpreted to be negative would border on blasphemy and spiritual treason. Yet these are questions that many Believers are thinking in the closets of their minds. Does God release the winds, fires, quakes, and storms to do whatever nature determines? Did God have a role in Katrina and Sandy? What about Columbine and Sandy Hook? Is sin free to express itself whenever and where ever it chooses? Before you hit the delete button, let us see what our Contract (Bible) with God has to say. Lamentations 3:37-38 says, "Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it? Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good?" Amos 3:6b "…if calamity occurs in a city has not the Lord done it?" Job 2:10b "…shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" Immediately the armchair theologians proclaim that these Scriptures and those of similar nature were under the Law. To even suggest that God is responsible for evil and its consequences is to commit another "unpardonable sin."
What the inspired and anointed writers of the Scriptures were saying, is that GOD IS SOVEREIGN. There is nothing that escapes His notice and knowledge. There is nothing that goes on that God does not know and allow. Satan can do nothing until God allows it. Satan was not allowed to touch Job until God gave him permission. (Job. 2) The Jewish leadership and the Roman executioners could not crucify Jesus without God's permission. God predetermined and planned for the sacrifice of His Son. (Acts 4:27-28) God foreordained the rejection of Jesus by the Jews so that the Gentiles would have the opportunity to be part of His family. (Rom 11:25) Nothing is too great or too small to escape God's notice. (Matt. 10:29) David proclaims the greatness of God and His power over the elements. (Ps. 135:5-7) Jesus calmed the sea with His Word causing His disciples to proclaim, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?" (Matt. 8:26-27) From Genesis through Revelation God is always in control. Nothing happens on this orbiting planet without God being privy to it.
Why does God allow calamity and tragedy in the world? Why does nature seem to be out of control? If God is Sovereign why doesn't He exercise His Sovereignty? HE DOES! When man chose to reject Him and worship the creation more than the Creator, "God gave them up to uncleanness and vile affections." (Rom 1: 24,26) God gave man a choice to either follow Him or not. With His great Sovereignty He left man to fend for himself. The created joined the ranks of the rebellious and proceeded to seek and destroy all that was good. The works of the flesh (Gal. 5: 19- 21) dominated man, while the fruit of the spirit lay dormant. Where was God when gun fire wiped out innocent lives? The same place He was when His Son hung on the cross and cried out, "Why hast Thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46) There in Heaven, the all knowing Sovereign God watched the execution of His Son.
How tragic that the world blames God for the bad things that happen in life. How sad it is that the world thinks God is to be blamed for all the tragedies that happen, when in reality, it is man himself that has reaped what he has sowed. God, in His Sovereign love, has given man a choice to acknowledge or deny Him. He knows what is going to happen no matter which man chooses. Man must stop blaming God for the disasters and instead see God as a loving God who gives man permission to do what he wants, even if it is disastrous. It will not always be this way. If you read the back of the Book, you will see that one of these days God will say, "That is enough," and will exercise His final authority as the Sovereign God that He is!!

5 Remarkable Tips for IT Recruiting
Choosing IT experts is a tough job. As a recruiting agency, there are some tips that we like to share with you. These are effective ways to identify the right people and hire the best candidate.
Gone are the days that you have to waste your time and money with an applicant whose not fit enough for the job just because you made a mistake. As an IT company, it is crucial to choose the right person the moment you hired them. The role that he/she will be playing is essential to the growth of the company.
Keep in mind that if you create that mistake; you are not moving forward. And, that's always bad for the business. To the bad recruitment habit, here are five tips on IT recruiting.
Directly Call Great Applicants
The common mistake of companies when hiring candidates is they don't treat their applicants as their customer/client. Your recruiting strategy should be like that of your marketing strategy.
Call the best candidate you deemed think is the right person for the position. Call them right away and develop their skills and talent inside your company. It is important to build the person who will build your brand than acquiring new customers.
Analyse Before the Recruitment
Don't rush yourself in recruiting candidates. Always take your time in choosing qualified individuals. It is better to spend more time reviewing resumes and credentials than just picking someone from a job post.
Think of the cost it would make you. And, look for the benefits you can get from that person.
Don't Hire Full Timer if Not Needed
If you're hiring an IT expert, don't hire him/her as a full-timer yet. Consider a freelance role for them first and monitor their work ethics and efficiency. Once you're confident with their skills and talent, offer them a secure position.
Consider Hiring IT Newbies
The good thing about hiring someone fresh from college is that they have fresh ideas. They are also not afraid to share it with the world. IT newbies today are daring when it comes to creating new applications or software.
In addition, fresh applicants don't cost your company too much. Since they are applying for an entry level you can save a lot of money in there. When you think they are ready to be the next junior IT in your department, then it is time to give their rightful price.
Maximize Data for Recruitment
Hiring someone shouldn't be done all the time. You need to have the best timing on when to get new programmers for your company. Use the data that you have, are going to hire immediately? Or, do you have to give your company a time to choose the perfect person?

Help Finding Clay or "Builders Mix" in Michigan
I've started building my outdoor bread oven from Denzer's "Build your own earth oven" book (the base has come along nicely!) but I didn't realize I was going to have such a hard time buying clay or a clay mix for the oven mix. I was hoping that digging on my property would turn up a decent mix, but it was all sand. I've called around landscape and brick suppliers and can't find any powered/dry clay or 'builders mix' that is specified in the book.

State of the Union Address by Obama
The State of the Union Address was another disappointment. All of us wished it would have been good. Instead it was the same old-same old song. This Pres unfortunately did not get the message of the Tea Parties or the recents wins in Virginia or New Jersey or most recently the blue state of Massachusetts. There was too much of half truths and half lies as your solution of how to reduce the deficit (that came through our weary minds), is certainly not going to happen through an equation of health care bill and climate bill added in with more promises of big government (we've heard that before again and again and again).
All the promises of vetoing earmarks comes after some pretty vast earmarks you've been shown to approve at the worst times of our economy and at that with a so-called emergency stimulus bill (what was up with that--certainly no control shown there!) And this new promise to help our young people with the cost of their college to supposedly help their future when all signs point-- that you will be placing the greatest amount of debt this nation has ever seen on their shoulders, their future (so please explain again how much you care about their future?)
See Mr. Pres the American people can add and they realized with more certainty today that you are giving more hog wash than ever before and the stench has reached even the noses of many die-hard Democrats. I think Americans were hoping for the best but realized again this administration is not listening--most Americans will have one recourse given to them by the Founding Fathers--"We the people" can still vote!
And vote we shall November 2, 2010--then Mr. Pres it won't matter if you don't hear because the next Congress will have their ears cleaned and will be more than willing to bend down and listen.
