Gold Coast gold for NSW athletes
Perfect running conditions greeted the contingent of NSW athletes who ventured north to the Gold Coast Marathon over the weekend. There were seasonal bests, PBs, returns to form, and one astounding breakthrough.
Celia who?…...are the words likely to be echoing around the Australian distance community on Sunday. From virtually nowhere NSW's Celia Sullohern, 25, clocked a stunning 2:34.38, a staggering 18 minute personal best in just her second ever marathon - achieving a Gold Coast Commonwealth Games qualifier.
"I felt really comfortable early on and then I looked at my watch and it was way too quick 'I'm going to blowup," Sullohern said.
"I felt way too comfortable and went through in about 76:30, and felt okay. Over the last 5 or 7 km I started to slip a little bit, but not like hitting the wall. I had a ball. I really enjoyed it."
For the 2012 national cross country champion, she is very early in her marathon career.
"This is my second; last year I ran 2:53. I thought I was way off last year's form. I was thinking if I go under 3 or 2:55 I would be stoked."
The potential for Sullohern looks enormous.
"I train with a 'tri' group in Yamba. To be honest I didn't think I had the running legs. I thought I've got some base fitness but nowhere near the 'ks' I would need. Swift multisport is the Tri group I run with and the remainder of the work I do on my own. My coach is the triathlon squad and I tack on bits myself."
Progress like this throws up all sorts of possibilities for Sullohern.
"What do I do now?"
Certainly, she will savour this moment and what lies ahead after she has battled injuries and the road to here has been far from smooth.
"It has been hard – character building I would say."
Milly Clark, confirmed she is in tip-top shape ahead of the IAAF world championships marathon in August with her second fastest ever half-marathon clocking 71:15. She was second to American Sara Hall, but ahead of marathon team-mate Jess Trengove.
"I'm very happy with that, training is going well," said Clark.
"Sara was off from the gun and I tried to stick with the lead pack. Us Aussies and Desiree (USA) managed to stay in a group. After the turn around, Jess, Desiree and myself broke away. Then about the 16k mark Jess and I broke away. Then with 3 km to go I thought rest day tomorrow and I just went for it.
"It is a PB on this course better than my best of 73:40.
"The Gold Coast course is sensational. I love the course out and back, you get the athletes on the other side of the road cheering for you and calling out your name."
Her form looks good ahead of London and this run will give her a lot of confidence.
"Yes I think so, no niggles, training really well, aside from the fact I had laryngitis last week. I figure you don't really run with your throat."
"I go home now and keep punching out the ks ahead of the London."
Also in the women's race was Woodstock's Bronwyn Hager who placed 16th in 79:36 breaking a half-marathon time barrier.
"It was one of my goals this year to break 80 minutes. I've been training pretty hard for it. It was also a 90 seconds PB. It was very hard work, but I knew it would be," she said.
He will next aim is the Amsterdam marathon, hoping for a PB.
"I know it will be a fast course because Milly Clark ran quick there."
The Southern Cross University 10km event was a convincing win for Olympian Eloise Wellings in 32:55.
"I had a lot of fun out there," said Wellings who revealed the results were very important and is a turning point for her who is five weeks away from running in the 10,000m at the IAAF world championships in London.
"This year has definitely been one of my biggest challenges. I've been struggling with an injury since December and I'm just finding my feet again. I almost had to put world champs out of my head, but now it's back in and it is kind of like 'Alright here we go'".
The men's race was a terrific battle, right to the line. Matt Hudson placed second, just one second behind ACT's Tim Lefroy in times of 29:48 and 29:49.
"I think in the last five races there has only been one second between us and I only got him once in the state 5k. We are at the same level, he just has that kick," said Hudson.
The race unfolded unusually with a breakaway.
"We went out fairly conservatively, but Ed Goddard put a gap on us," Hudson said. "He went through 5k in about 14:58, and we ran 15:08. Around 5k there was about eight of us. I was with Tim and said, 'we need to start bridging this gap'. We then started to pick it up from there. We caught Ed at about 7km, just after the turn around. Louis hit the front and then there was a kick down at the end."

Noah, future fireman
On a daily bases Noah plays with his fire trucks. He has two, this one in the picture and another one that rocks. Of course he has a million other, smaller fire trucks, engines and fireman toys, but his absolute favorite is this one given to us by a fellow fire fighter family, the Echan's.
Randomly but daily, Noah will come up to me and ask for his HELMET. Then he will look for his KEYS, usually he will put on daddy's sunglasses and watch, then he does the sweetest thing. Noah will come up to me, kiss me, say "bye mama!" then kiss my belly and say "by Dee" and start to walk away. The very BEST part...he always stops before he gets too far, turns around and says "Bye Mama, I go to Work" and then climbs in the fire truck and makes a siren noise as he pretends to drive away.
I just love how much he LOVES HIS DADDY!

One of our favorites: a classic interview with Dr. William Doherty from the editors of U.S. Catholic magazine:
You've heard of the "overscheduled child," no doubt. Family therapist William Doherty is one of the people you can thank for putting a name to that thoroughly modern problem and bringing it into the public lexicon. Since then, Doherty has taken aim at consumer values creeping into family life as well as marriage.
A professor in the department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota, Doherty is the author of Take Back Your Kids (Sorin Books) and Take Back Your Marriage (Guilford Press), among many others.
You've written that we need to "take back" our children. Take them back from what?
From the consumer culture, and I don't just mean material goods. I mean the individualistic "me first" culture. I think that's what's raising our kids. We parents are all part of the culture, and unless we examine it and critique it, we just raise our kids accordingly.
Do you think it's harder being a parent today?
Every generation faces its own challenges. Our children don't die as young because we've conquered some of the deadly diseases of early childhood. There are still families dealing with material deprivation, but not as high a proportion in this country as in others. We know more about child development. So in many ways it's the best of times to raise children.
I think the distinctive challenge of this era is that parents are anxious, lacking in confidence. They feel they can never do enough and feel tremendous pressure. One set of parents is struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table, and another whole group has so many privileges in life but is also running scared.
What's an example?
I just met on Sunday with a group of mother activists in St. Paul, Minnesota and we're starting a birthday party initiative. A lot of parents now, particularly mothers, feel pressured to put on a production for their child's birthday. It starts at age 1, when the party is clearly not for the kid.
My daughter knows a young working-class couple who spent $700 on their child's first birthday. They rented the American Legion hall and catered a lunch for 30 people. And, of course, the kid had a meltdown.
The problem is that we define what a good parent is by what we buy for kids and what experiences we create for them. So even parents who aren't materialistic in terms of spoiling kids with too many things often spoil them with too many experiences.
Earlier in my career I would have analyzed the psychological dynamics of this couple, but not anymore. There are a lot of people like them.
If you're spending $700 on the first birthday, where will that lead when they are 8 or 9?
One woman decided to join this birthday-party group after her 9-year-old came home and announced that her 10-year-old party would be at the horse barns and age 11 would be at the amusement park.
When I did a radio interview on this subject, a dad called in to say that he had just spent $2,000 on his 16-year-old son's birthday, and the kids didn't appreciate it at all. He bought basketball tickets for them, but they just ran around the arena. And then he rented them hotel rooms-that's what you do now when they get older: You rent hotel rooms. So yes, it goes up and up. And ultimately it's not satisfying-it's like too much candy. But kids will pressure their parents, and even parents who don't get pressure from kids will feel it from other parents.
Where else do you see this consumeristic influence on parents?
Youth sports is another place where this plays out. Here's a classic Minnesota example. The local hockey association sent a letter to the parents of every 6-yearold boy saying, "We've noticed your son is not yet in hockey." Listen to the language: It's as if he hasn't been vaccinated. It continued, "We just thought you should know that if you don't get him into hockey now, you can basically kiss away his chances for the high school varsity team."
So you have this little kid, you don't know what his potential is, but why would you deprive him of that possibility? So you get him into hockey, and early on it's mild, but five years later you realize you've handed away your family life. You're in traveling leagues, say, or you have games every Sunday. In fact, I'm working with a group in Minnesota that is organizing a boycott of Sunday youth sports.
Why Sunday?
Not only is it the traditional day of rest and family, but Sunday sports means that kids are doing activities seven days a week. There is no day of rest for the community. High school varsity teams and colleges have survived for a hundred years without Sundays. And hardly any parents like Sunday sports. But they do it anyway.
My mother would have laughed me out of the house if I said, "I'm having my birthday party at the amusement park."
Why are parents so willing to surrender their authority to all these other people, including their kids?
That's a great question, because it's selective surrender. These days we don't surrender to teachers, to clergy, to physicians, to the traditional authority figures. We view them as working for us. But the people who select our kids for teams and can supply these great once-in-a-lifetime experiences, we do surrender to them.
Parents who will ream a teacher out for giving too much homework or for giving their kid a "B" will not question the coach who says, "All the three-day weekends this year are going to be spent at tournaments."
One parent will speak up, maybe. Nobody else will support him or her, but then out in the parking lot the others will say, "Do you believe Coach said that?" We're sheep in the peer pressure of parenting. Parents are so worried about peer pressure on their kids, but it's the peer pressure among parents that's a problem.
So what's driving these behaviors among parents?
In almost all cases it's good values about doing better for our kids. But we raise our kids in tribes, and the norms of the tribe really affect us. The norms of our consumer culture are: More is better. Bigger is better. Super-size it. So Super-size parenting, too-why not? Super-size birthday parties. Super-size athletic events for kids, national sports championships for 10-year-olds. And if it's for my child, I can feel less guilty than if it's just for me. …to be continued next week.

Oddly it was a more satisfying accomplishment to ditch 139 photos I took last year. Getting closer to finishing that large culling process which was postponed due to computer issues last year. Believe me, it's much easier if you can weed your images as you upload them.
Also deleted 13 images from further back in my archive. Need to get in a habit of doing that. If I'm scrolling through images and see some that should obviously go, I need to at least mark them as such so I don't waste time looking past them again.
Finished creating my new line of Seafoam Green and Navy Stripes products. I really like how this birthday card came out. All the text is customizable if you want a different number or to make it for an anniversary instead:

Also watched How To Digitize Hand-Drawn Art workshop. It was free to download. Mostly things I already knew but might be helpful if you had no idea where to start.
Deleted 12 products from my shop. I'd meant to do more.
Made monthly backups. Have you backed up lately?

Faking It
I love this place. I love this blog. I love this community.
I mean, I know none of us realllllly want to be here, because the ticket in is the worst thing possible. But since we didn't get a choice, we really are lucky.
And I've been thinking lately about how sometimes I think I seriously don't know who I am anymore. I mean, which me am I?
Are you confused yet?
So, I'm not really "out" about my blogging life. I mean, I have a private blog where I post more pictures of A and little things about her life, and I have written about grief there, but it's for my family members and in the beginning when I would start to write about how I really felt, they all thought I was suicidal and were calling to make sure I was still alive. They couldn't handle how dark my thoughts were then.
So I found this. I found here. And I could write possibly the darkest thoughts ever, and people would say, "Hey. Been there. You're not crazy." and most of the time, that's really all we want to hear, right?
So that's how it's been. I blog here for what I really need, and I "blog" there for my family to see a little of what grief is like and some more pictures of A.
Until I started adding a bunch of BLMs to facebook. My mom called and said, "Who is that girl named Brianne that posts on your wall all the time? She seems so nice! Her baby is so cute! How do you know her?"
And I was all...um.....uh.....well, you see.
I seriously imagine that's what it felt like back in the day when it was NOT cool to go online to try to find dates! Ya know, when everyone on the internet was a creepy stalker and really a 60 year old 500 pound man child molester sitting on the computer smoking and eating microwave burritos.
I didn't want to lie. BUT I didn't really want to say, um, well, I met her on the internet? I don't exactly know why-mostly because my mom is kind of old (hehe) and she'd be like, what? who?
And seriously, does she stalk my facebook or what, my mom? I mean, geez!
So I don't even remember what I said. Something like, "Oh, she's my friend from California. You don't know ALL my friends, mother!"
Then I won an AMAZING piece of art from the talented Franchesca at Small Bird Studio. I didn't really want to post a picture of it on here because it is of my last name. Although, I'm not really sure I can even pretend that I'm anonymous on here anymore, anyway. But people are instantly drawn to it and always ask me where I got it.
Why can't I just lie, again? So I say, "Um, well, I won it in this blog contest and well, ya know, and the artist, she uh, she lost a baby, too, and um."
I'm a freak. I've been "out" with my husband since the beginning. I think he never thought it was strange (or at least never told me) because he was so glad that something helped me, he saw how excited I was when I get blog comments and so he wasn't going to question anything. And even this year when I found out we were going to California next summer and suggested maybe meeting one of my BLM friends, he thought that was a great idea! But my mom, my friends, I think-they will think I'm nuts.
So that's one part. Then there's the part of how I'm not sure I feel like I'm being entirely real on here, either! I mean, don't get me wrong-my feelings are real. I'm not exaggerating; I'm not sugar coating. But there is a lot more to me! I'm funny! I laugh a lot! I have interests!
And you guys....I swear! A lot! I have a problem! I walk around my house saying "Bitches and hos!" for NO REASON. There are no bitches and hos here. But I like to say it. I enjoy the word douche.bag ( I think it can be adapted to many situations).
I'm obsessed with the Gilmore Girls. I want to move to Stars Hollow. (It doesn't actually exist-I know this). I'm a sucker for Lifetime Movies. I wanted to be one of the "Friends".
I watch CNN all the time-I love politics and I'm super liberal and get really mad when people are not open-minded.
And I watch Dexter and True Blood! How opposite from the Gilmore Girls! I listen to Eminem AND Phantom of the Opera AND Michael Jackson. I love to scrapbook. I love to read. I love to go to the movies. I love to drive as fast as I can with the music as loud as I can. I'm constantly getting yelled at by my husband because I forget to turn the music down before I turn the radio off and it blasts him when he drives next.
I LOVE to clean. I get totally nuts when there is any sort of clutter at all. A great day for me is re-organizing drawers and closets.
I'm a good teacher. I am on every committee there is. I love the kids.
Bitches and hos! I like to end sentences with a random word. Like a comma, yo. "It's so nice out, yo!" or comma, bitches. "That was such a good movie, bitches!"
I had a verbally/emotionally abusive father. My sister is really my half-sister, which we didn't know until we were 25 and 32. She's cold and stand-offish because my dad was a (get ready for it) total douchebag. I"m oversensitive and cry too much for the same reason.
I don't know.
I don't know why I just typed all of that. But it felt good! I'm both of these people, but I feel like I'm separate. I'm not just. I don't spend all my time grieving.
But I don't swear on here. And I don't tell anyone else my "real" feelings.
I think it's ok. It's ok, right?

I am glad you "came out" to us about your double life. Sometimes I wish I had 2 blogs but I can imagine how hard it is to keep thing seperate. I had the same kind of thing happen to me on FB with someone I met in a chatroom. I get lots of weird looks and eye rolls about that (mainly from my husband). Feel free to curse or show us your other side whenever the mood strikes, yo!

Most of my friends and family know about my blog (although I never wanted them to, most just eventually found their way there) and that's why I have been so mute of late. I feel like whatever I do write these days is half fake because I'm always wary of who is reading. I know with a "private" blog you still should be the same, but I really do feel as if I need to break free of Tuesday'sHope and start a new space where friends and family can't find me and can't silently judge me from the sidelines. I am pretty close to doing it.
Thanks for outing yourself!
And Mums on Facebook - one word - UGH!!

I can def see where you can feel like 2 different people b/c of the audience of the 2 different spaces. I think it's nice to see more of the different side of you.

Its okay! My family does not know about my blog either. I need a *safe* place to vent. My husband does know and he understands. Glad to know that side of you though.

OMG...you made me laugh!! First of all, I can totally relate. I haven't really told anyone except Hutch about my blog. I do suspect some people I know are reading, but I never really wanted it that way. I just wanted a place to write and then it became a place to connect with others who understood. For the girls' 1st b-day I had the cards that I received out and my mom was reading them. She asked who some people were...uhhh, I think I said they were people I had met online who had also lost their babies. But the questions stopped there, thankfully.
I love to hear that you swear, I do too, but try to control it because I am around kids ALL day long (you know what that's like!) Plus I don't want my own children talking like a sailor!!
And lastly...WHAT??? You are coming to CA next summer? Where are you going to be? We will all have to try and meet up somewhere if you can fit it in!

My husband and I JUST had a conversation about how douchebag is the perfect word! It so perfectly conveys a feeling towards a person and feels so good to say! For the in-law that ignores you when you walk into their house- douchebag. For the guy that drives like a maniac and cuts you off only to slam on their brakes in front of you- douchebag!

I think we all have different sides to us that do not show through on our blogs and I think that is okay. I am so thankful to have my blog and to have made the connections that I have made. Only a handful of friends and family in real life know the address to my blog. Many people know I blog, but do not know anything about it. I am okay with that because it is my space to share and they do not always understand.
I love Dexter and am not sure why. It is the total opposite of anything else I watch!!

You made me smile!!! I am also glad you "came out" I often feel the same way. I don't always blog what I really feel because I know family reads it even though I wish they wouldn't at times.
I am glad your husband understands. Hope you do make it out to Cali. ((HUGS))

My son & his wife think I'm crazy because I had a celebration for Meredith the other day. However, he & his family enjoyed the steak dinners we all had and that hubs and I paid for! I enjoyed reading about the real you. I realized the other day that I was saying a certain curse word too much and resolved to do better!

Hilarious! I love the word douchebag too! I think it's excellent! And there is always a bit of a wall there, even if your blog is private, and your IRL people aren't reading it, there's always parts of you that are just yours! You cracked me up! I'm jealous b/c your blog is private! I'm going through something right now that I would LOVE to share with my bloggy friends, but can't b/c my blog is so public, and while that is good and has helped me help so many people that I really know, there are days when I just want to be able to say what I want without worrying that I will upset someone IRL! You go girl! Keep them seperate and enjoy the love from this community, it is AMAZING!!!

You're just too funny! I think it's a good sign that you're ready to share both of you with us! :) Maybe you're on the way to re-merging the two! And always feel free to be either one of you to us bitches, anytime, yo! ;)

What a breath of fresh air, seriously. This post really made me laugh. I know what you mean though!!! I have a hard time explaining to my friends/ family how I have so many mementoes around the house with Jenna's name on it from my blog friends. And I SO know what you mean about being confused, lol. Anyway, I just loved reading about the real you :)
ps- I LOVE gilmore girls too!!!!

Most people I know in real life know about my blog, and have for the last several years I've done it for different reasons. I'm always surprised, sometimes, though, when I find out someone I had NO IDEA was reading and then I think, "Oy--maybe I should have been less graphic." (Like when finding out your pastor reads it and knows all the intimate details of your IVF procesess. Good times.)
You crack me up. I laughed out loud at you just mumbling around your house.

- Catherine W said...
Tee hee. I'm exactly the same. Nobody in real life knows I write a blog (except hubs and my mother, neither of whom read it!) and I always worry about being "outed" somehow!
I think that I have always accepted that, reading the sort of blogs I do and writing the sort of blog that I do, that I am only really getting to know one facet of a person. Their grief and the love that they have for their child or children. But I know there's a lot more to all of you ladies than just that!
I can't believe that you swear! You just don't seem like the swearing type?! I grew up with a dad that turned the air blue as well but it had the opposite effect, I find it quite hard to swear.
I love Dexter and True Blood too.
Totally know that you are all about CLEAN and that you are a good teacher. I could tell that from the way you write about your job and the kids you teach. x

This is a great post. :) I am out with everyone. I don't care if they think my friendships with people I've never even met is weird. A lot of people who know me in real life read my blog, too. Aren makes fun of me. But, really I think he just appreciates the fact that I've connected with so many women and have had so much support. I adore you. I love that you use the word bitches. :) I like the f word way too much, myself. Can't wait to meet you this summer.
ps... is this the post that you were given a hard time about?

i'm new to your blog, but wanted to say that i appreciate you "coming out" about your double life.
i think we all do the same thing in deciding where we share certain parts of ourselves. I like Eminem and Phantom of the Opera and Michael Jackson. Though I wouldn't have blogged about it. and i have more of a potty-mouth in real life than on my blog.
I don't have a separate "family" and I know that (although they don't comment or talk about it with me) they read my blog. And I've met up with a babyloss mommy friend from BabyCenter when she came out to California, but didn't really tell anyone in my family except my husband.
It is definitely weird when the babyloss world intersects with regular family life, like when people from our support group came to my husband's portfolio show and his mom asked, in front of them, "are they your support group?" it was awkward.
anyway, thank you for this. and for making me smile.
i saw the pictures of Sophie and Aiden and they are beautiful. i'm so sorry you couldn't take your twins home with you.

I know this post is really old but I just wanted to let you know that I have read through all of your posts and it makes me feel less crazy... or at least there is someone out there a bit like me. I lost Riley my baby almost two weeks ago and have been searching for someone out there that understands. I have read through many blogs and they are helping me, yours included. I just wanted to say thank you.
Oh, and I say douche or douchebag ALL the flippin' time. I think its one of my favorite words :)

If West Ham United are to come away with anything from their Premier League match against Manchester City at the Etihad, Winston Reid will be key.
Reid has been one of West Ham's star performers this season and has struck up a very solid partnership with Italian international Angelo Ogbonna at the heart of the Hammers rearguard.
But with Ogbonna now ruled out for at least three weeks with a hamstring injury - announced on the club's official website - even more responsibility will fall on the New Zealand skipper's broad shoulders.
West Ham were one of the busiest clubs over the summer, signing 12 players with a net outlay of around £35 million.
Reid the best signing of the lot
However, many Hammers fans will tell you their best bit of business was done back in March when, after over a year of speculation linking him with some of Europe's top clubs, Reid signed a new six-and-a-half-year deal in East London - as covered by the BBC.
The 28-year-old Kiwi star will be playing his 129th West Ham match at City but it will have to be one of his best if Slaven Bilic's side are to get a result.
City are the Premier League's top scorers and boast a 100% winning start to the new campaign five games in.
But the Hammers are in good form too, thanks in no small part to Reid, who has helped his side to keep three clean sheets in wins at Arsenal, Liverpool and against Newcastle United last time out.
Ogbonna's place in the West Ham defence will be filled either by James Tomkins or James Collins, both players Reid has played with on numerous occasions in the past.
If anyone can, Winston can
City hitman Sergio Aguero looks likely to be fit after limping off in the Blues' win over Crystal Palace last weekend.
Not many can handle the red hot Argentinian, but Reid has all the attributes to cope with the ruthless striker.
While the New Zealander excels in aerial battle, he is one of the Premier League's finest on the deck, using his pace and power to great effect on a regular basis.
The odds are stacked against the Hammers in this one, but if Reid puts in another nine or 10 out of 10 display, anything is possible.

Every Friday, three DC area bloggers Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC to host the Friday Five linkup. Anyone can join with their own Friday Five post (yes, it must be a Friday Five!!) They encourage you to visit other blogs on the linkup, comment, share and engage!
This week, the theme is My Five Favorite _____________________
Of course, I filled in the blank with races….
You know that I love to race and I have run A LOT of RACES so it is hard for me to pick just FIVE.
Just to be interesting, I will pick 5 different distances.
Here they are:
1. Freihofer's Run for Women (5k) – it is ALL women (more than 4000)– all ages, all sizes, veterans, newbies, elites, walkers. When I ran it the first year that I started running (2008), it made feel like a "real" runner. Finishing it after suffering a serious injury (2012) helped me believe that I could be a runner again. And then in 2013, completing it with a broken foot showed me how strong (or maybe stubborn) I was.
I love the downhill finish of this race and I also enjoy running through Washington Park in Albany, NY where I run often after work.
It is convenient since I can park at work and walk to the race to avoid the traffic and confusion. There is an expo the day before where you get free Freihofers cookies and a loaf of bread.
2. Spring Runoff (10K) – This 10K takes place in the spring and it a good way to kick start your racing season. It is run along the Hudson River and on the bike path that I go to often for my long runs.
The evening before, there is a free pasta dinner where I met two awesome ladies.
The course is fairly flat and is my currrent 10K PR.
3. Stockade-athon (15k) – This race is the oldest 15k in the country. It takes place in the fall so the foliage is pretty and you run around Central Park and through the oldest parts of the city of Schenectady, NY.
It is a popular local race for me so you run into a lot of familiar faces. The end of the race features food such as pizza, hot soup and cozy fireplaces.
4. Adirondack Distance Run (10 miler) – There aren't many 10 mile races around and this is a great one. It has a point-to-point course that starts in the village of Lake George, NY and ends in Bolton Landing. It takes place in early summer so it is not too hot or humid yet.
The course is rolling hills but you don't mind since you are running along Lake George the whole way.
This is the route that I drive each weekend to go on our boat.
Since our marina is next door to the beach, I can have friends cheering for me at the finish line.
5. Naples News Half Marathon (13.1) – This race is special because it was my first half marathon. It was also held in one my favorite vacation spots. I go there every year with my tennis friends. The race was held on my wedding anniversary and my hubby was there waiting at the finish line. Plus if you live in the NE, January in Florida is a great getaway.
The course is beautiful with many views of the Gulf.
At one point, a priest blessed runners with holy water.
I don't plan to repeat any of my half marathon races but maybe someday I will run this one again.
Happy Running! What are your 5 favorite races? Have you run any of the above?

Run Before The Storm
We have a storm moving into the area here and unfortunately I haven't been taking advantage of the nice weather as much as I should. So I decided this morning I was going to get up and go walk on the boardwalk. I was a little slow getting out of bed this morning, but I dragged myself downstairs and poured myself a cup of coffee and then tried to officially wake up. And then I got myself dressed and out the door. AAANDDDD...the run was great! OK, well more of a jog, but remember, I don't stress about how slow I am anymore. I felt pretty great while it was happening and fantastic when it was all over. Then I came home and made myself two eggs with some pineapple on the side. It was a good morning. :)

unattached bare thin copper wire on extruder - dispaly show MINTEMP
During an unattended print yesterday, the object moved off the bed and the PLA filament formed a thick mass around the print head. I preheated the print head and then removed the mass of material from the print head. After removal in the mass, I noticed a braided blue sheath
and on the print head I see a thin bare copper wire that is unattached on the print head
. Other side of printhead for reference
. The printer now displays MINTEMP error. Selftest results in ok. Printer will not function. Will not preheat. Will not reset. My thought is that this wire became unattached but I don;t know where it is suppose to attach or how to reattach/replace it.
Any thoughts on how I can fix my printer?
Is this a good question?
I removed the extruder head. The wire is for the temperature sensor. I could not reconnect it and I was unable to remove the temperature cylinder (after removing the setscrew). The heater and temperature sensor seemed to be stuck in place with PLA. I've ended up ordering a new extruder head with temperature sensor and heater installed from PRUSA.
I'm thinking that I should make and install a shield of thin Teflon sheet under the heater block that covers the wires and heater block to prevent build up of extruded material on the extruder head if the print fails while unattended.

Sounds like David McWilliams was in Letterkenny recently, and besides his usual interesting economic take on things, talks about the length of the dole queues in town:
Last Wednesday morning, the dole queue on High Road in Letterkenny extended for about half a mile, out past the social welfare office, up past the Mace supermarket and on up towards the roundabout and De Valera Road. Up to the right is the ghost estate of empty houses which will never sell and will be used to house welfare recipients - locals and immigrants.
This is Letterkenny, or ''Letterkenya'' as one person described it tome, formerly the commercial hub of north Donegal; now, judging from the traffic, the gateway to Strabane ...
Confused? I'm not surprised. But when you see Sinn Féin voters in Celtic shirts with 'Saor Eire' tattoos, feeding the British exchequer by popping over the border to evade Irish taxes by shopping in Asda, Strabane, you know we live in a confusing world.

It usually takes an effort to get the girls to listen to me. Today was an effort of me listening to them.
I did not want to get up this morning. Unfortunately I had Izzy and Lily, who begged to differ.
I am sure you have noticed I have not written on my blog in the last few days. The wonderful game of life as made me miss a few turns. So, needless to say, I had quite the effort trying to fall asleep from the stresses of it all. The last time I glared at that mean ole' alarm clock, it said 3:41 am, and I was still awake (for the first time, it was not the girls).
So at about 7:30 am, I had blonde hair, blue eye Lily (which we refer to as mini momma) in my face. She was an inch from my face, "momma, you awake?"
I am now.
"momma, Izzy hittin' me."
So I raised my voice from under the covers, so Izzy could hear me in her room. "Don't hit your sister."
I knew it was time to get up, but I was so tired. The momentum of getting up wasn't quite there, yet I was trying. A minute goes by and I hear a little huff from Lily, and she walks out the bedroom, shutting the door behind her. That was the last thing I remembered for another 30 minutes.
I wake up again at 8am to little Lily kisses all over my face. "Momma, can you get up, I want chocolate milk." I opened one eye, and once again she was an inch from my face. Apparently no one appreciates nor acknowledges the term, personal space. I whined and rolled over. She then proceeded to climb on the bed and on me.
"mommy, get up." She tried to rock my shoulders, not giving up.
All the while, my husband is laying next to me, snoring away. Yeah, I had a bit of jealousy running through me.
Lily once again runs out of the room.
In less than two minutes later a battle ensues in Izzy's room. Even with all the doors shut, it was quite clear. The screaming and crying, I thought it was a battle to the death in there.
I jumped out of bed without any thought (or else I would of never gotten up) and waltz into Izzy's room.
Lily was on top of Izzy, with a chunk of Izzy's hair and shirt in her little demon fist. This little girl is going to be the death of me.
A stiff talking to and almost an entire pot of coffee later, here I sit.
You know even with all that caffeine in me, my eyes keep trying to close as if I didn't sleep at all.
Two years down, a lifetime to go...
Even though I am not speed writing my novel as I wished, I fine that the ideas have been flowing quite smoothly in the last few days. I am excited to report my only plans beside the kids today is to write.
Finished first draft here I come.
I am also happy to report that my determination is at an all time high. I know it will not be easy getting my novel from my laptop to the bookstore shelf. But, what I do know is that I will not give up, until it is there. I have worked too hard emotionally and physically just to give up at the first mention of a turn down. I will be the book industries' worst nightmare, like a big ole' birthmark. They might as well get use to me!
Little Ms. Perseverance
As far as my 30 day goal:
Thursday: 135 -completed!
Friday: 142 -completed!
Saturday: 149 -not completed, I have 146
I better put the petal to the metal, take a cold shower and jump on that cursor!

One Nation Under Debt: Hamilton, Jefferson, and the History of What We Owe
Robert E. Wright
1stPublisher: McGraw-HillFormat: Hardcover
Like its current citizens, the United States was born in debt-a debt so deep that it threatened to destroy the young nation. Thomas Jefferson considered the national debt a monstrous fraud on posterity, while Alexander Hamilton believed debt would help America prosper. Both, as it turns out, were right."One Nation Under Debt" explores the untold history of America's first national debt, which arose from the immense sums needed to conduct the American Revolution. Noted economic historian Robert Wright, Ph.D. tells in riveting narrative how a subjugated but enlightened people cast off a great tyrant-"but their liberty, won with promises as well as with the blood of patriots, came at a high price." He brings to life the key events that shaped the U.S. financial system and explains how the actions of our forefathers laid the groundwork for the debt we still carry today.As an economically tenuous nation by Revolution's end, America's people struggled to get on their feet. Wright outlines how the formation of a new government originally reduced the nation's debt-but, as debt was critical to this government's survival, it resurfaced, to be beaten back once more. Wright then reveals how political leaders began accumulating massive new debts to ensure their popularity, setting the financial stage for decades to come.Wright traces critical evolutionary developments-from Alexander Hamilton's creation of the nation's first modern capital market, to the use of national bonds to further financial goals, to the drafting of state constitutions that created non-predatory governments. He shows how, by the end of Andrew Jackson's administration, America's financial system was contributing to national growth while at the same time new national and state debts were amassing, sealing the fate for future generations.

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, Globalization impacts all aspects of life, especially that of health services. In the phase of globalization, all countries will be interdependent on each other, meaning that no single nation on Earth will be able to stand alone in terms of health care. These challenges, of course, will have a direct impact on the development of health services in of Indonesia.
The future challenge facing the health sector is the emergence of new diseases, due to mutation of the various types of viruses and bacteria, and also the impact of changing environmental conditions and human lifestyles, which generally develops as follows: Epidemic infectious diseases spreading past the state boundaries and territories. Various epidemic diseases such as HIV / AIDS, cholera, and SARS and swine flu threatens not only its place of origin, but will spread all over the world, becoming dangerous life-threatening global pandemics.
The dramatic shift from acute to chronic diseases has an impact on health service strategies, which in the past focused mainly on curative aspects of treatment, but in the future the health services have to shift their focus on preventive aspects of medicine via public health education, vaccination programs and promoting healthy lifestyle changes in society. Therefore, there will be less pressure on the curative aspects treatment and rehabilitation.
This condition is marked by great changes in mortality rates and disease morbidities due to infectious diseases, degenerative diseases, and disease of cardio-cerebra-vascular, diabetes, and other degenerative disorders.
In addition, recent advances in medical science has developed detection and diagnosis of disease at a molecular and genetic level (Have been completion of the Human Genome Project). Recent discoveries have focused on understanding the pathogenesis, physiology, genetic and molecular aspects of medicine, in particular stem cell and regenerative therapies will be a future trend of medicine.
Regenerative medicine has rapidly developed in the biomedical field due to an explosion of scientific advancement throughout the world and will have an important impact on health care. This new field of tissue engineering is the fruit of the multidisciplinary sciences such as biology, biochemistry, physics, and chemistry.
Regenerative medicines will lead to the creation of biological tissues and organs that can replace or regenerate tissues and organs damaged by disease, injury, or congenital hereditary. It also aims to grow tissues and organs in vitro (in lab) which are safe for human transplant eventually eliminating the current serious problem of long waiting lists due to shortage of donor organs.
This revolutionary technology has the potential to develop disease therapies previously impossible to treat. Examples of current diseases very difficult and costly to treat are: diabetes, heart disease, kidney failure, and osteoporosis and spinal injuries and blindness due to retinal disease. But with the development of regenerative medicine, such as stem cells, gene therapy and so forth, these diseases will be cured more effectively and with less cost both the government and the patients.
The above developments in medicine require a special strategy for Indonesia in an effort to provide Globalization impacts all aspects of life, especially that of health services. In the phase of globalization, all countries will be interdependent on each other, meaning that no single nation will be able to stand alone in terms of health care, Education to people in the health field and these new cutting edge treatments and services to the citizens.
Similarly, in an effort to keep pace with developments and contribute to the science and technology of the future, (so that Indonesia is not left far behind), required special attention and investment from the Indonesian government, including providing Indonesian scientists the funding and opportunities to do scientific work abroad.
The implementation of the strategy of strong funding and collaborative international scientific research will not only medically and scientifically advance Indonesia, but it will also place Indonesia as a well-respected member of the scientific and medical community in the international stage.
Base on above arguments, Indonesia should make a serious effort to implement a Blue Print to advance the biomedical sciences by establishing a camaraderie and partnership with developed countries in the world which will serve as a vehicle for the transfer of skills, technology, and the advancement of science.
Another important issue is to revise the higher education system in Indonesia, especially the model of teaching and learning. Furthermore, it is time to apply the education curriculum based on an evidence-based model while also following and incorporating developments and medical knowledge from the rich indigenous local Indonesian traditions into a scientific framework.
Health services management, which began with the reform of health care systems, has been shifted based on the level of preventive cures. The shift was followed by a change in policy at the national level and continuing to regional security efforts in the form of improved public health (Health Insurance), service by doctors, drug availability, and readiness of hospitals throughout Indonesia. These shifts in policy were performed with the outlook to serve the needs and rights of patients in Indonesia.
Human health services are now operating in a global era and Indonesia's health services should be no exception to this trend. The globalization of the Indonesian health services should ultimately improve the quality of care by training better health professionals and lowering costs through improved medical technology and competition.
Furthermore, besides improvements in the quality of care, a more globalized health system would be more egalitarian making medical treatment more affordable and accessible to all citizens irrespective of income.
Finally, such an approach will generate revenue by encouraging citizens to be treated at in the country and also Indonesia will become an attractive option for citizens of other countries to sort medical treatment. Such a system would be welcomed and respected by Indonesian people.

What Are Your Core Muscles?
|Transversus abdominis muscle (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
* Pelvic floor muscles
* Transversus abdominis
* Multifidus
* Internal and external obliques
* Rectus abdominis
* Longissimus thoracis
* Diaphragm
* Latissimus dorsi
* Gluteus maximus
* Trapezius.
The Importance of Strong Core Muscles
When you have strong core muscles you instantly have better posture. Better posture not only makes you look better, you actually feel better too. Your balance and stability are strengthened which makes it easier for you to perform both basic functions and also more challenging exercises.
Strong core muscles mean you're less susceptible to injury. You may know that the single most common type of complaint or injury is back pain. The primary reason for this is weak core muscles. Most people sit all day this weakens the core muscles because they're not engaged. Picture yourself right now sitting on the couch or at your desk. Do you have good posture? Probably not. When you strengthen your core muscles your posture automatically improves. However more importantly you also minimize the chance you'll injure your back or suffer from back pain.
Strong core muscles also help you burn fat and calories. Your core muscles are a very large muscle group. When you focus on strengthening them you're building muscle in your body. Muscle burns more fat and calories than fat does - hence, the more muscle you have, the more calories you're burning - even while at rest (sounds great huh?).
Finally, strong core muscles make you look great! You know what a great stomach and back look like, right? And your backside and hips are also part of your core. If you want rock hard abs and a good backside, strengthen your core!
Exhale Spa has a long history of providing top level fitness classes. Their core fusion class has always been one of their most popular classes. They've recorded the class so you can experience the results in the comfort and convenience of your own home. The Core Fusion – Exhale Body Sculpt DVD provides five focused workouts. Each workout is only ten minutes long which makes strengthening your core easily accessible and convenient. Even you have ten minutes a day, right?
There's no special equipment to buy, and the video will cost you no more than a large cappuccino. The trainers, Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp, have more than fifty years of combined fitness training experience. If you don't have an Exhale spa near you or you prefer the convenience and comfort of working out at home, consider the Core Fusion Exhale Body Sculpt DVD. You'll gain strong muscles and a lean body - and have fun doing it! And if you like this one, check out some of the other Core Fusion workouts - they are all designed to give you a great workout in a short amount of time that will fit into your schedule easily while giving you fast results.

The goddess of wisdom, learning, music, art and knowledge, Maa Saraswati defines power for women in a unique way. She has been a role model to many women since the time the Indian mythology showed us her powerful wisdom and knowledge.

Not only in India but in places like Nepal and Japan too, they worship Maa Saraswati and have statues of her all around the temples.
You can buy incredibly gorgeous pieces of work from our portal if you want to keep Maa Saraswati idol in your temple or office space. It is a great gift for students and those who are on their path of learning something.

- Synopsis
- In this latest installation of the Cat in the Hat's Learning Library, the Cat takes Sally and Dick to explore different kinds of deserts around the world, from the hot, dry Sonoran and Mojavi to the bitter cold Gobi and Antarctica. Young readers learn why deserts are dry, and how plants and animals--including cactus, kangaroos, camels, penguins, roadrunners, and many others--have adapted to survive the unforgiving climate. Also included: how sand dunes are formed; the reason we see mirages, and how shallow water beneath the surface of the ground can create an oasis. Fans of the new PBS preschool science show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! (which is based on the Learning Library series) won't want to miss this hot new addition to the series!

I'll make this quick. An article appeared on Huffington Post Women today heralding the arrival of a new breed of trophy wife:
Men are finding the most attractive and sexually desirable women are not brainless beauties whose sole function is to look good and stay quiet, but women who are making good money and are in positions of power.
The woman who got ahead on her looks by marrying a "sugar daddy" is now being replaced by the woman who is equal to her man in earning power and career position.
I'm not going to dispute that sweeping generalization, because, well, I don't want a potential future wife to throw this blog post in my face — but more importantly, because its claims are impossible to evaluate from where I'm sitting.
That's not because it would be impossible to marshal empirical evidence in support of the article's thesis (or vice versa). It's because that's not the game this article is trying to play. Behold, the — precisely — two data points the author bothered to cite:
One, Amal Alamuddin. Really, though? Equal to her man in earning power? A quick fact-check turned up this claim to be not even remotely true: at the time of their wedding, Amal added $2 million to the couple's collective fortune. Hardly chump change, but, uh, almost two orders of magnitude short of George's $180m.
Two, Priscilla Chan, a doctor. Considering that the richest doctor in the world — who happens to also be a drug researcher — is worth only $13.3 billion, something tells me Priscilla isn't going to match husband Mark Zuckerberg's $34b. and "change" any day soon.
These aren't facts or statistics. These are anecdotes. And as far as anecdotes can theoretically take you, these aren't just uninformative — they don't even live up to the promise of a single married "woman who is equal to her man in earning power."
I imagine the only person who might marry the author for her brains is a zombie.

Falling Apart Without Me
Sigh. It's hard, hard life.
At least, it would have been...
I was on my couch this morning, playing some FFXII, when I heard the phone start to ring. I checked the caller ID only to see it was work calling me.
Didn't I break up with work yesterday?
Why the hell are they calling me?
Sorry, bitches. I'm not at home. Please leave a message after the kiss my ass.
Of course, the sensible thing to do would be to answer the phone.
I, on the other hand, tore the phone out of the wall and threw it out the window.
Then my cell phone rang.
Apparently, they can't take a hint.
Still, it may involve me getting money, so I answered it.
GoblinSmithy>> What do you want?
Boss>> Oh thank Altana!
Boss>> You're there!
GoblinSmithy>> And you're there.
GoblinSmithy>> This has been fun, really.
GoblinSmithy>> Bye.
Boss>> NONONO!
Boss>> Wait!
GoblinSmithy>> What is it?
GoblinSmithy>> This had better be good.
Boss>> We want you to come back.
Boss>> We need you to come back.
GoblinSmithy>> I'm listening.
Boss>> The place has gone insane.
Boss>> With no Smithy, the adventurers are running loose.
Boss>> They're actually walking through the jungle.
Boss>> WALKING!
GoblinSmithy>> Hold on a second. Let me write this down.
GoblinSmithy>> How do you spell "Not my damned problem"?
Boss>> Oh please, Smithy.
Boss>> Please come back.
GoblinSmithy>> Why should I?
Boss>> We'll double your pay.
GoblinSmithy>> Did you say triple my pay?
Boss>> No.
Boss>> I said double.
GoblinSmithy>> Tell me if this sounds like a phone hanging up.
Boss>> WAIT!
Boss>> I said triple! I said triple!
GoblinSmithy>> I thought you did.
Boss>> So... You'll come back?
GoblinSmithy>> I don't know...
Boss>> Hold on a second.
Boss>> Someone here wants to speak to you.
GoblinSmithy>> Who in the hell would want to...
GoblinPathfinder>> Hiya, Smitty.
GoblinPathfinder>> Are you coming back?
GoblinPathfinder>> Mr. Beeington says hi.
GoblinSmithy>> ...
GoblinSmithy>> Put the boss back on.
GoblinPathfinder>> K.
GoblinPathfinder>> Bye, Smitty.
Boss>> What is it?
Boss>> Are you coming back?
GoblinSmithy>> I'll come back on one condition.
Boss>> Name it.
GoblinSmithy>> You have to kill Pathfinder.
Boss>> ...
Boss>> Is that it?
Boss>> I was going to do that anyway.
Boss>> He hasn't shut up all morning.
GoblinSmithy>> Then I guess you've got a Smithy.
What can I say? I may be a sell-out, but at least I'm a sell-out who's gettin' PAID!
Smithy's all about the bling.


text: I purchased a Solstice from Bob G. and it was a great purchase, no doubt. I blend a small condenser mic with my Rev. Solo pick up and it's the closest I've ever been to "my bass only louder". One thing is odd, however - I think the Solstice might be adding a lot of really low-end to the sound. I can't seem to dial it out - like the EQ has no effect on it. When I turn the bass frequencies down, it seems like the low stuff above 70hz or so goes down, but everything below that remains untouched. I never had this issue before I got the Solstice. With my 1-12" Bergantino cabinet, it actually helps the sound because of it's smaller size. With my larger 2-10" Berg., it becomes a problem. I can only use it in really large rooms or it sounds like a big subwoofer. Still a great unit, don't get me wrong. I played an outdoor festival yesterday with no amp, I just gave the soundman the output form the Solstice and had him give me plenty in my monitor. Worked great. Anyone else notice the low-end thing? Could it be something else?

So… I just came back from the first night in a two-day conference being put on at my Church. As one of our pastors put it, it's really just a conference being put on by "a bunch of friends" – mainly three young Church and lay leaders (one of whom I went to high school with, one of whom was born to my mother's sister [aka he's my cousin], and one of whom I know through Campus for Christ).
One takeaway for me from tonight's 2 hour intro session could be summed up like this:
Remember when…? When you used to have that hope of fruitfulness in ministry? When you used to believe that security in faith was just around the corner?

Hello all!
Due to circumstances beyond my control (now, anyway), I don't think I'm going to publish The Dressmaker's Secret today! 😦
I made the mistake of not checking the entire file yesterday when I sent it in for file review. I just made sure the first couple chapters were formatted right. When I went to view the file several chapter heading were out of whack. For instance, "Chapter Seven" would be on one page and the rest of the chapter on another!
How did that happen? It looked great on the DOCX before I converted to PDF. No man can tell, or at least not a girl who isn't used to dealing with PDFs, but, anyway, it needed to be fixed. And it took a long time to fix. So long that I didn't get the file re-submitted and looking right until 2 this afternoon. Even now it may have a few quirks that I didn't catch. *shivers* 😛
Anyway, file review can take up to 24 hours (though hopefully it won't take quite that long) and so I'll probably not be publishing The Dressmaker's Secret until tomorrow afternoon … or morning, if I get up early before church.
Sorry for the delay. 😉

After analyzing over ten different reports on the video game journalism industry, I can confidently state that this industry is partially corrupt. Video game journalism is a relatively new field, and closely tied to the rapidly growing video game industry.
Here are some interesting facts: A rating of 89% versus 90% in a video game review creates a difference of several thousand game sales. This means that a rating difference of one percent can cost a company around $200,000. Now imagine the difference between a review of 60 and 85. Video game journalists acknowledge that PR companies regularly try to bribe them, sometimes successfully. They also state that PR and video game companies can manipulate journalists. These companies can hold a moratorium on video game reviews until the product is released, unless the game gets a review of over 80%. This allows video game companies to cherry pick favorable reviews in advance of a game's release. As with every other type of online journalism, having an exclusive is crucially important.
Intriguingly, a recent news article regarding video game journalism corruption was released by Metacritic. Metacritic is a website that acquires every single review of a given game, and then provides an average rating from all those sources. The administrators of Metacritic said they were removing several websites from their rating system for "corrupt practices". They also said certain reviewers "Can absolutely be bought." Metacritic would not name the particular sites they were removing.
Are these attempts at bribery something that is rare, that only unscrupulous companies do? No. In a recent press conference with a crowd consisting primarily of video game journalists, Microsoft promised everyone attending that they would get an Xbox 360 Elite for free. This item is valued at roughly $600. The story was reported by one journalist who said he was returning it, and felt that this type of bribery occurred far too frequently.
On average, freelance video game journalists make $26,000 a year. Not exactly a huge amount of money. PR companies acknowledge they use a "carrot and stick" strategy with video game journalists. They offer them monetary incentives of some kind for favorable reviews, and deny access if the reviewer gives a game a poor review. These incentives also include incredible vacation opportunities which the journalist could never afford on his or her own. Understandably, these incentives can be extremely difficult to resist.
Here are a few tantalizing examples of "incentives" offered to video game journalists by PR firms and video game companies: An all-expenses paid vacation to a tropical island, where they would live in a mansion for a few weeks while writing their review. For the game Grand Theft Auto 4, journalists were given the opportunity to fly to a professional driving course and race in expensive cars. The explanation by the PR company involved was that "this would allow them to feel like the main character in Grand Theft Auto 4."
Of course, video game journalists try to defend themselves against these charges. Especially journalists from large magazines or websites like Game Informer or Kotaku. In a 100 page report I read in which several journalists with over ten years' experience in the field were anonymously interviewed, some interesting points were acknowledged. These journalists said that while they felt "they weren't biased," they are beholden to PR companies and video game companies regarding what questions they can ask in interviews. If they mention "unacceptable topics" PR companies nix in advance, they lose access to that company for interviews in the future. This allows these companies to dictate what information video game interviews and initial impressions contain. That is why pretty much every preview you ever read about video games will say "it's the next big thing" and that it "will be amazing".
The simple fact is that video game companies control access to their products. They can use advance review opportunities to help journalism companies flourish, or never speak to them again if they write unfavorably about a product. They can offer underpaid journalists vacation opportunities they could never afford otherwise. There are even cases of direct cash in hand bribes given to journalists. Don't worry though, because most video game journalists will tell you they're unbiased and that the industry is fair. In my experience and through the research I've studied, this is a blatant falsehood.
Video game journalism corruption is a prevalent issue in the industry at this time. Hopefully in the future more thorough watchdog websites and news services will call out journalists who accept "carrots" from PR companies. Perhaps in the future as video game journalism becomes more mainstream and established the corruption issue can be resolved.
As it stands, you should look at most video game reviews with skepticism.

Recipes are certainly abundant on the internet. Some are good, some aren't. I often save recipes I find and try them when I get the chance, then discard, modify, or save them depending on the results.
One downside of internetted recipes is that sometimes they call for things you don't have and sometimes cannot even find where you live. In making a Tangerine Butter Cookie from Better Homes and Gardens I find that I am asked for 'white cornmeal'. White cornmeal? Huh. OK, well, one of the reviewers said they used yellow and that worked fine, so that's what I did. But, curiosity piqued, I tried to find out about this white cornmeal (for all I know it's readily available, but I don't recall seeing it). I see that it appears to be medium ground, same as yellow, so it won't change the texture of the cookies. But, as often happens, a simple search reveals why you need to be careful about what you trust just because 'you saw it online':
Oh, the cookies? They turned out pretty good. I might make a few changes, though – including removing the cornmeal, it just seems to add a weird grittiness that doesn't have much place in a soft butter cookies if you ask me.

Irish director David Keating, who appears to have mostly made documentaries beforehand, does a rather good job. Unlike most contemporary Hollywood horror directors, Keating instinctively gets that effective horror is more about developing mood and drawing us inside a darkness than bombarding us with shock effects. Not that Keating fails to provide shock effects either the opening moments contain a gruesome scene where Aidan Gillen must perform a caesarean section on a cow. In no time, Wake Wood travels into a dark and disturbing space as David Keating takes us through the scenes where Timothy Spall with perfectly calm and ineffectual manneredness lays out the rules of the resurrection and then calmly asks them questions while making calculations on a strange abacus device. This is followed by Aidan Gillen and Eva Birthistle approaching Ruth McCabe at her husbands funeral to ask about using his corpse in the resurrection ceremony and then digging up their daughters coffin in the middle of the night and breaking the fingers of the corpse to get back a personal item for use in the ceremony. The ceremony itself has a compulsively fascinating bizarreness as we first see the dead mans body being carted in on the end of a forklift, which is then used to crush the bodys thorax, followed by Aidan Gillen having to cut open and tear out the spinal column before breaking the jaw to place the personal item in the mouth, after which the body is covered in mud (or maybe even excrement), set alight and then cut open so that the resurrected Ella Connolly can be dragged out.
Of course, after the film has Ella Connolly resurrected, things proceed to get more horrifying. The script cannily keeps the secret that Aidan Gillen and Eva Birthistle are keeping from Timothy Spall and the others to itself, all the time giving us ominous hints of what it might be with scenes of Ruth McCabe saying that she feels something is not right and trying to sneak Ella Connolly away and ask her questions using an abacus. Very effectively, the film then shows the skinned dogs and slaughtered cattle, and then the smiling and innocent Ella Connolly attacking a roomful of old men with tools and impaling a poker through Ruth McCabes head. Here Wake Wood has undeniable similarities to the Stephen King adaptation Pet Semetary (1989) although in ones opinion Wake Wood does a far better job of contrasting the childs innocence with the business of it having returned from the grave with something not right. The film goes out on a particularly chill ending [PLOT SPOILERS] where Aidan Gillen undergoes the ceremony to resurrect Eva Birthistle and takes her home clearly pregnant and, as she showers and appears confused about what has happened, we see he has laid out the clutch and a bunch of surgical tools with the implication that he is planning to remove the child from her body.
The cast all give fine performances. Aidan Gillen first came to attention sporting an American accent as the mayor in tvs The Wire (2002-8) and and subsequent ongoing role in Game of Thrones (2011 ) it is interesting to see him in his natural voice here. Timothy Spall is an actor who has been largely typecast in roles that require him to be a weak lump of jelly from tvs Auf Weidersehen, Pet (1983-6) onwards through Secrets and Lies (1996) and the Harry Potter films. It is nice to see him here in a role that allows him to do something different where he plays the part of the squire of the community with a relaxed strength, undercutting the wild talk of resurrection ceremonies with a genially relaxed offhandedness.
Wake Wood was the second fiction film film for director David Keating. He and screenwriter Brendan McCarthy returned with the Irish-set occult horror film Cherry Tree (2015).

Will a Corneal Insert Replace Reading Glasses? Maybe
"A thin ring inserted into the eye could soon offer a reading glasses-free remedy for presbyopia, the blurriness in near vision experienced by many people over the age of 40, according to a study released at AAO 2014, the 118th annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology," reports Science Daily. "A corneal inlay device currently undergoing clinical review in the United States improved near vision well enough for 80 percent of the participating patients to read a newspaper without disturbing far distance vision needed for daily activities like driving. ...One of the devices is the Kamra inlay, a thin, flexible doughnut-shaped ring that measures 3.8 millimeters in diameter, with a 1.6 millimeter hole in the middle. When dropped into a small pocket in the cornea covering the front of the eye, the device acts like a camera aperture, adjusting the depth of field so that the viewer can see near and far. The procedure to insert the implant is relatively quick, lasting about 10 minutes, and requires only topical anesthesia." Read more.

First Children Services offers speech therapy for children in our Fanwood and Cherry Hill, NJ locations.
Does your child have trouble expressing himself or understanding what others are saying? Many children with special needs have difficulty with both speech and nonverbal communication, which makes it very hard for them to interact socially.
This is why speech therapy should play a central role in nurturing the growth of any child with special needs.
What is speech therapy?
Speech therapy focuses on developing and improving two primary forms of communication — receptive language and expressive language. Receptive language has to do with the ability to understand words spoken to you, and expressive language has to do with the ability to use words to express yourself.
Depending on the child's age and Individualized Education Program (IEP), speech therapy may also include auditory training, pre-linguistics, articulation, pragmatics, oral motor, feeding, and swallowing treatments.
How we approach speech therapy
At First Children Services, we take a "multi-modal" approach to speech therapy by providing children with a variety of sensory cues to enable them to achieve their maximum potential. These sensory cues may include gestures, sign language, facial expression, visuals, communication boards, and augmentative devices in conjunction with spoken language.
By using these various modes of communication, our mission is develop and enhance a child's understanding and expression of language in order to communicate more effectively.
All of our speech-language pathologists are licensed in New Jersey and are certified to work in school settings by the Department of Education. We provide one-on-one and group therapy as well as speech therapy for school districts as stated in the child's IEP.
Learn more about our speech services in Cherry Hill, NJ
First Children's speech and language services are a component of our multi modal therapeutic S.T.R.I.V.E. Center services. Speech therapy can be coordinated with our other services such as ABA therapy and occupational therapy in our locations in Fanwood and Cherry Hill.
