Today has been a good day I love lazy Saturdays when you know that you have two more days of rest before returning to work :D bank holidays are good fun. I may do some housework tomorrow as it really needs to be done but that does involve some effort....
In other news me and Mitchy have organised a meetup for July which is going to be beyond awesome :D we are hoping the lovely WLB will join in the fun with the two K's and the dogs. It's going to be a lot of fun and I can't wait for July to come. Infact this year is shaping up to be good fun Rich booked our Iron Man 3 tickets last night so we can go and see it at the Imax....Robert Downey Jr ultra big is going to be much fun! I also have the fun of The Rocky Horror show this year with my lovely ladies Jen and Tracy. Not too shabby for this lady.
I was up relatively early this morning well 9am and as I was emerging from zombie mode I realised one of my meds had run out and I needed to run to the chemist and get an emergency prescription. Once I got back and saw to Douglet I got cracking on breakfast
Yummy magic waffles (made from the magic pancake mix but done in my waffle maker) and kiwi, apple and banana topped with a weight watchers lemon tart yogurt.
I spent most of the morning flicking between classic Friends episodes and CSI apart from a small break to make cakes. This was done to a cheesy pop soundtrack which had me dancing in the kitchen. I will show you the cakes later in the blog.
For lunch I wanted to ensure I had tons of superfree after my rocky thursday so decided to have stuffed mushrooms
The mushrooms were stuffed with courgettes, peppers and onions then topped with low low. I put the rest of the low low in the mini jacket spud. I think I may love low low a bit too much. I followed this up with some fruit and yogurt.
The frozen fruit creates a lot of juice hehe.
I had planned to spend the afternoon reading and watching Soccer Saturday
I didn't get too far into the book as I was too busy chatting. I also realised halfway through the first half that I didn't have a key ingredient for dinner. By the time I got back from the shops I had missed three goals and then managed to miss a few more just because I was out of the room. I think the key with Arsenal is for me to ignore them as when I do they score.
For dinner we decided to try out the Mac and Cheese recipe from the new magazine (get it if you have not got it as its a good issue). I think next time I will use a double healthy extra for my portion as it wasn't quite cheesy enough but it was still tasty. I added mushrooms to mine too for more superfree.
After this I treated myself to two of my carrot cakes that I had baked this morning
Each cake was two syns including the mini egg.
The recipe was really simple and thanks to Sue on a group for supplying it
For the cakes
3 eggs
6 tbsp granulated sweetener
85g Wholemeal Self Raising Flour (14.5)
175g finely grated carrot
2 tsp mixed spice
For the topping
1 tub quark
Vanilla flavoring/extract
A sprinkle of mixed spice
A mini egg (2 eggs is 1.5 syns) = 9
A sprinkle of nutmeg
A little more grated carrot
Pre-heat over to 180. Beat the eggs & sweetener together for about 10 minutes until light and creamy.
Sift the flour and mixed spice into the egg mixture and add the grated carrot. Fold in with a metal spoon until all ingredients are combined. Dived between 13 bum cases and bake for about 20 minutes or until firm and golden. Leave to cool.
For the topping mix enough sweetener & the vanilla with the tub of quark to resemble cream. Add a sprinkle of mixed spice. Either pipe the mixture around the top of each cake or place a dollop on top. Add a mini egg to each then sprinkle over some ground nutmeg and a little grated carrot.
Keep in the fridge to keep the frosting firm.
I couldn't be bothered with the prettyness as I was feeling lazy when I got to frosting them but they were still good.
Unfortunately the cake coincided with the munchie monster emerging so I decided to have some happy snax
I took a picture of them with the bag so you can see how cute they are! Unfortunately they didn't feed the monster so I ended up having a cheese toastie. By this point I was just being greedy.
I don't know why sometimes even when you feel on the wagon you can go into sabotage mode. Its an ongoing battle for us all and one day we will all win it.
One thing for sure is I won't be going oh I have ruined the week so I will just eat what I want now. Tomorrow morning I will be on plan and enjoying the lovely slimming world food!
I am now going to watch Arsenal on Match of the Day and enjoy their glorious win. Night night all xoxo

When is it ok to go outside your comfort zone to accommodate the man you love?
I had been married for 5 years. My ex had a personal family issue that was challenging him deeply. I pick up on other people's feelings like a sponge and back then, I didn't understand.
Despite my better judgment, I went with him to a family dinner where I was uncomfortable before we got out of the car.
When I got home after a two hours of stiff upper lip hanging in there, my throat, chest and jaws were throbbing. As painful as this was, I own it because I chose to go. I put my narcissistic husband's needs first and suffered through.
I am sharing this with you now because I want you to know that being with the wrong man is terrible. Excruciatingly and continually painful. What if it is the fear of that pain that is keeping you single?
When I hear the stories of lonely soulmates-to-be around the country, it is heart wrenching to hear how many believe they can have a relationship that won't break their hearts.
Life is heart breaking. It just is.
As a Snow White, expressing my anger and hurt is really hard. It is easier for me to write it for sure. That is why I pour out my heart in my writing. Writing helps me vent and learn how to manage the heart breaks of life. That really is the missing link, you know, heart break recovery....not heart break avoidance.
When I was young, I always thought that it was the other people who made me feel so awful. The pressure in my ears and jaw and the ache in my chest and throat is real. Being with certain people is wearing but now I know it is my reaction to them that is hurting my body...not them.
When you are afraid or anxious, your body will be giving you clues. Picking up on these physical signs will help you keep your intuition engaged. When your intuition is engaged, you can handle anything. When your body is in fight or flight, your intuition is turned off. You are being driven by your instincts which are only survival focused.
At the end of the day, there will always be times that you must go outside your comfort zone to accommodate your partner. Each Saboteur style has challenges in this area, but if you make a plan and anticipate these stresses, you can make it easier to navigate these choppy waters.
Snow White, you must say no in balance to your yeses. If you are in a relationship where your man is involved with his own children or his ex in law family, go to the events that you really want to go to. Be clear with your man that there are times you will gracefully decline. There will be times that you will love spending time doing your own thing while your man is doing his family thing. Your man will come into tune with you when you are true to yourself first.
Scarlett, having clear cut expectations with your man and his family requirements is critical. Scarlett will withdraw from her contacts when stressed. You can't keep everybody happy and if you are not careful, one pushy family member can hijack your time and throw your relationships out of balance. You will feel much more comfortable if you take time off from your man and his clan 25% of the time.
Rapunzel, you may have the same kinds of physical discomfort as Snow White. Being with large crowds, noisy groups or unfamiliar people is very draining. Natural confidence needs to be bolstered because of the constancy of the stress.
Take a Walk: When people are getting to you, getting peace and quiet for yourself will refresh and restore you. You have great wit and people enjoy you and that feels good. Watch for telltale warnings of aching in your jaw or ears or possible squeezing in your upper chest and throat. These are signs you need a break.
Anxious right now? Feeling angry or upset? My boss became inappropriate at work recently. My throat tightens up and hurts right now thinking about it. I am much kinder to myself when I remind myself that my feelings have a root. I know that I can tap, write or use other techniques to break the pressure of my reaction to his behavior.
Why is this critical? The more able you are to take care of your emotional well being and let the past go, the more truly attractive you will become to a man who is living without his past in the way. Get it?
Curious about your Love Sabotage Style? Knowing if you are a Snow White, Rapunzel or Scarlett O'Hara will make it easier to find the perfect match. Check it out: http://TakeTheSoulMateQuiz.com

WC2014 Argentina 2 – 1 Bosnia Herzegovina
A Strangely Subdued Experience
Whodathunkit? Everyone expected this to be an absolute cracker. Certainly all the matches we'd seen so far had put pressure on this one to deliver. And yet. And yet. And yet this really failed to get going for so long. If you wanted to produce a highlights package, you could comfortably have cut from minute 3 to the middle of the second half it was that nondescript. At the end it felt like things had just gotten started. And by then it was over.

ECOS, the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and the Central and Eastern European region's network for biodiversity (CEEweb) have called for Members of the European Parliament to support the European Commission's proposal to revise the existing EU Regulation on Fertilisers. The current regulation follows a linear economy model, which excludes approximately 50% of the fertilisers on the market.
The proposal aims to promote the use of organic and waste-based fertilisers and is one of the first measures taken as part of the Circular Economy Package. It will help reduce soil and water pollution levels and improve food safety, thanks to stricter limits for the Cadmium content of fertilisers. The proposal also encourages the recovery of nutrients from waste materials and their use as fertilisers which will reduce dependency on imports of critical raw materials. A level playing field between waste-based fertilisers and traditional fertilisers will be achieved through the development of European harmonised requirements for fertilising products within CEN, which ECOS will be contributing to.
ECOS will continue its work in standardisation to ensure requirements for fertilisers under the new proposal address nutrient recovery objectives and guarantee a safe and circular economy.
The letter is available here.

We recommend that Bermuda and zoysia lawns be aerated in the spring and fescue lawns be aerated in the fall. Aeration is the process of removing small plugs of grass and soil from the ground, creating new oxygenating air spaces in the lawn, allowing nutrients to absorb closer to the root, which strengthens the root system and revitalizes the soil ecosystem. Aeration allows oxygen and nourishing fertilizers to penetrate into the root system making your lawn stronger and more vibrant.
Lawn aeration also helps decrease the buildup of thatch. Thatch is the buildup of dead roots, rhizomes, and lawn clippings that have not been broken down between the surface of the soil and the layer of grass. If the thatch becomes too thick it soaks up the moisture and does not allow the roots to properly affix themselves to the soil. Excessive thatch also provides a breeding ground for pests like insects and grubs, which will harm your lawn even further.
No need to buy or rent an aerator and break your back aerating your lawn. WinLAWN is ready to help!
Check out our Special Offers for discounted aeration services.
Key Aeration Benefits
- Improved root strength and health
- Allows better absorption of water and prevents puddles from forming during heavy rain
- Allows better absorption of fertilizer
- Thatch breaks down faster and more complete
- Oxygenates root structures
- Loosens the soil and reduces soil compaction
- For Fescue lawns aeration vastly improves overseeding
Service Areas
We provide lawn aeration services in a large area in Georgia including Alpharetta, Atlanta, Ball Ground, Buford, Canton, Cumming, Doraville, Duluth, Dunwoody, East Cobb, Flowery Branch, Holly Springs, Johns Creek, Kennesaw, Lawrenceville, Marietta, Milton, Norcross, Peachtree Corners, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Sugar Hill, Suwanee, and Woodstock.

Basketball and Literacy
Let's talk hoops!
I am a big basketball fan, but for some reason my slow, low-jumping, 5'11" body was not attractive to NBA General Managers, and alas, I was not selected in the 1992 (or any other) NBA draft, so my career ended in high school. But that's what is great about sports…anyone can be a fan of the game even if you aren't highly skilled.
The college season recently wrapped up with March Madness crowning Louisville as king, and the NBA Playoffs are currently in full swing. I thought this would be a great time to talk about a basketball-related event and contest we recently had here at Mackin, and about a great new basketball-themed title I love.
Recently, a group of us at Mackin gathered to watch a webcast featuring two giants of their respective fields: James Patterson, author of numerous books for children and adults, and Dwyane Wade, star guard for the NBA's Miami Heat. Their common bond is that they are outspoken advocates for getting children to read, so that makes me an instant fan of them both. The webcast featured their commentary about the importance of reading in their youth, as well as answering questions from students at Ponce de Leon Middle School in Florida. Also featured were video clips from other NBA stars, encouraging kids to read. Overall, the webcast is a great tool that shows academic and athletic role models coming together for a great cause. An on-demand replay of the webcast is available for viewing at jamespattersonevents.com for anyone interested. Also, the Mackin-sponsored contest where you can win autographed items from both Patterson and Wade is still open! Enter the contest here, until May 31st.
Sticking with the hoops theme, a recent book by Twin Cities author John Coy has grabbed my attention. It is Hoop Genius, and is a great way to introduce children to the history and origin of the game of basketball. The title refers to Dr. James Naismith, inventor of basketball, and tells how he devised the game that has become a huge phenomenon today. It turns out that he was a young P.E. teacher who was having trouble engaging a group of boys in games that weren't boring or that didn't result in rough play and injury, and came up with a game he called "Basket Ball" to achieve this.
Coy's story is enhanced by Joe Morse's illustrations, showing the dress of the late 1800s as well as the mustachioed young men that played the first-ever game of basketball. A small photo at the end of the book shows that the illustrations are historically accurate…evidently sporting a bushy mustache was the height of fashion for young men of the era! I was especially interested in the reprint of Dr. Naismith's original rules of the game, which shows how the game has evolved in the 100-plus years since its inception. It would make a great compare/contrast activity to do with students, especially those that are basketball fans or players.
I will leave you today with a quote from one of basketball's all-time greats, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court."

What are your plans for this weekend? I'm looking forward to Easter Sunday and getting inspired by floral maxi dresses and full-on garden party vibes. Hopefully it will be warm enough to fire up the grill after church and invite some friends over for brunch on the patio!
If there's one day of the year that a flower crown is acceptable in public outside of Coachella, let it be Easter Sunday.
Love this vintage-inspired garden sign from Ella Claire.
How pretty are these botanical painted eggs from The House that Lars built?
There's lots more Easter inspiration over on my Pinterest boards, and I'm working on a Spotify playlist to celebrate:

Description EN
If you have ever walked along the Erie Canal towpath east of Lockport, you have probably noticed a giant metalic chicken at a near by fruit farm. Why it's there, I don't know. It may be there to scare off birds or prevent children from stealing apples. Perhaps it wards off evil spirits. I do know that the thing is darn tall. I have not spoken to the owner so you cannot access the property for a close up. If you wish to have a closer look, you do so at your own risk. The thing is large enough to see from the canal pathway. To log this cache, head to the posted coords and look to the north (away from the canal). Then you need to take a picture of yourself on the trail with the chicken in the background. If you are camera shy, a photo of your GPS with the chicken in the background will do. Also, email/PM me how high you think the Giant Chicken of Death is.

API Driven Applications - An ecosystem architecture
API Driven Applications - An ecosystem architecture
Today people are connected to information sources with various disparate means. PC is the least in use. From powerful mobile devices, smart televisions, wearable electronics and other ubiquitous computing equipments the entire generation is wired to one another, creating and consuming information. Today if a business wants to reach a market segment; taking the business online is not good enough. It has to innovate on how to reach customers with dozens of available streams. Simply creating a modern e-commerce portal will bring almost no revenue, the business has to innovate on creating an ecosystem around the consumer delivering value.
For this reason the developer community is now increasingly focussing on the API design and architecture practices as opposed to application design and development. Applications are now derived by APIs and now widely exists as thin but rich layers of user interfaces. API first approach have paid well when it comes to creating multiple information streams to deliver and acquire information. Today a successful business model means not only selling the product to the customer but understanding the customer and API driven design supports this business perception.
On the other hand consumer today are far more computer literate than before; they are concerned about online identity, privacy and secure conversation. Application developers need to focus on federated identity, privacy policies and establishing trusted secure communications and sharing these mechanisms with the users by building the trust as well as making the user experience seamless. This talk will mainly focus on the aforesaid aspects of API driven application design and development. Nuwan will discuss and demonstrate key elements of API driven application ecosystem.

'Shelter ByGG' may look like a giant red cloud sitting on the street, but it's really a cozy cocoon-like shelter made of renewable cork ! Gabriela Gomes sent us news about her design, which she describes as an experimental habitable module that can be placed in any empty city space. The private retreat is a great way to get away from prying eyes within public spaces, and even gets its clean energy right from the sun.
Produced in Guimarães, Portugal, the Shelter ByGG is insulated, weather-proof and light, and can easily change locations as needed. With enough space for a double-room with integrated WC, this eco-friendly shelter will be unveiled at the Guimarães 2012 festival.

I'm slowly making my way through a pile of library books that seem to have scattered themselves around the house, but then I realised I hadn't actually shared my library loot with you all, so here's a glimpse at the pile!
The other week, I'd picked up Jeffery Archer's, The Fourth Estate, for husband - who read it in a matter of days. And upon completion, said to me - have you got any more? So, at the library what did I come across but...only I didn't look closely enough. This isn't the same Geoffrey Archer at all - how cheeky is that! I'm hoping many other people have fallen for the same thing... but it got me wondering... how many other authors are out there with similar names that you've stumbled across?
Husband has since finished this book by that other Geoffrey Archer and said it wasn't as good. He's back to the real one!
I also found a few books for myself. You won't be surprised to read that one of them ws a Jill Mansell. I would have started it immediately had my ordered copy of The Help not suddenly arrived on the same day, so for once Jill Mansell came second best... but only this once (and I've since finished it! surprise surprise).
Then there was The Secret Garden, calling to me. I've never read this classic so I thought it was about time I did - and while I was collecting children's stories I also came away with the first three books in the Little House on the Prairie series.
Another book that made it's way home with me is The Local News, by Miriam Gershow - the story of sibling relationships after a brother goes missing and the sister is suddenly thrown into the spotlight. I wasn't really looking for any new reads as such on this trip to the library, but this one captured my attention.
And finally, I also took out...
Yes, I am contemplating it. There is one here in October - slightly undecided at this stage, but October is less than 20 weeks away (did you know?) and that equates to... not much time! So we'll see.. after all, any time spent running would mean time away from the armchair and the books!
A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend. ~Author Unknown

Woo hoo .. a marathon. I must send you Kerre Woodham's book. Have you read it?ReplyDelete
Hey! Good luck to you if you DO decide to run! And I never really thought about authors with the same name until I was in the library once and saw that happen!! Must be a sort of thing that happens a lot! haha.ReplyDelete
Thanks for doing the hop :)
Lah @ LazyGirl Reads
The author name thing happens to me all the time. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not. I've been contemplating starting to run too, not a marathon or anything. Good luck and thanks for stopping by my blog.ReplyDelete

We did a job in Highlad Park, Texas using stonework in the flower beds. We used stones native to the state to enhance the flower beds. The customer wanted "something different", so we suggested using the various shades of stone found in the northern Texas landscape. We selected different sizes, shapes and colors of stone to compliment the exterior of her home. We placed them randomly in the flower beds.
We added more stonework to the home in Highland Park, Texas, by adding a stone path. This really enhanced the landscaping. We also added solar lights to the path so the beauty of the stones can be seen at night.
The stonework has added both value and beauty to the home in Highland Park, Texas.

It is widely known that many large-scale change management projects involving new information technology (IT) fail for reasons unrelated to technical feasibility and reliability.1 It is also well known that good technology "implementation" and "change management" techniques can substantially increase the chances of success.2 Why, then, do so many organizations fail at IT-enabled transformation? What can line executives and IT specialists do to increase the odds of success?
In fact, there is a lengthy list of good techniques and methods for successful IT-enabled change projects. While we have nothing new to add to this list, we explain why the techniques and methods are not always used, and we challenge common notions about who should use them. In our experience, both IT specialists and line managers frequently have and hold onto failure-promoting beliefs about their roles in change. Success requires different beliefs and team-work in applying the best practices of change.
We view IT-enabled transformation as a business process that crosses several functional lines. Because there are handoffs in the process, some things get done twice, while others fall through the cracks. Even if each function performs its role exactly as prescribed, the outcome may not meet customer expectations for timeliness or quality. And when the different functions do not even agree about who is supposed to do each task, only luck — or magic — can produce good results.
When we examined what many people think about who should do what in IT-enabled change, we found that they seem to believe in magic. The joint efforts of all parties playing their scripted roles do not add up to successful change. Sometimes these people still get good results — by accident — which means that they're less likely to change their behavior the next time when things don't go as planned.
In manufacturing, production experts have learned how to achieve better results and just-in-time flexibility by broadening people's work roles. One strategy combines separate production tasks into the work of a team. Another involves cross-training workers on upstream and downstream jobs. That way, production workers can correct errors introduced by workers upstream and prevent errors that might affect workers farther down the line.
In IT-enabled change, however, the emphasis seems to be on people staying within prescribed roles. Line executives, IS specialists, and other groups are each assigned a role (e.g.,

The animal I have designed is called a Kutflpillar a mixture of a Kutu, Flea and a caterpillar. This animal will feed on the dirt in the persons nails and the dandruff in the persons hair. They will need extra body parts for defence such as extra bones in their legs to help them jump higher and and will need better vision to watch out for any predators like wasps. In wet weather or when the clothing is in the wash the Kutflpillar would attach itself to the stitching of the clothing and transform into a cocoon. When the clothes are dried the animal would then return to normal.

Unpacking a replacement MATT screen
The replacement matt screen I received appears to have protective cover over the face. However, it is tight to the face surface and very carefully (almost precisely) taped on all edges with cutouts at the connection points; enough so that I'm concerned that I may have received a glossy screen, not the matt screen I ordered. Am I being overly cautious and I should go ahead and remove the tape and get on with the repair?
Bu iyi bir soru mu?

swing of things
it's been on my mind quite a bit lately that i haven't posted on the blog in awhile. i got out of my routine a few months back, and haven't quite been able to get back there again. it may be awhile before i revisit being a blog "writer." for now, here's a picture of the raviolis (1st attempt) i made after christmas. they turned out not so great, not terrible to eat but really not very pretty. i've made another batch since then, and am going to make some more tonight. the pasta stuff is tricky! i have realized now that it makes so much sense that mostly old italian grandmothers are the true pasta makers. they've had a whole lifetime to become masters at it!
this picture makes my heart happy
i was unloading the veggies from my CSA box on monday, happy as a clam, and then realized there was someone singing in my kitchen, "it's a veggie fest! a veggie fest!" then i realized that someone was me. if it wasn't official before, it is certainly so now: i am a huge food geek. who sings along to their tomatoes without even knowing it? i just love these delicious, little guys!
a little veggie salad using plum & roma tomatoes, yellow & purple beans (the green beans were actually purple when they were still fresh; they lost their color when i blanched them), purple eyed peas, thinly sliced zephyr & yellow squash, shaved red onion, sherry vinaigrette, s/p & basil. delicious!!
i blanched the purple eyed peas & the beans. everything else was left fresh & then tossed together. i'm in food heaven for lunch today!

my little college graduate
it's official! benny is diploma'd. last sunday he donned the cap & gown and did the walk across the stage. it turns out that there were only 2 other graduates from the computer science department (whereas there were like 45 million business degree graduates), and he was the only cum laude ("with honors") graduate out of the 3. pretty cool, huh? i'm so proud of him!
congrats, my husband! (the picture is of ben with his brother, gabe, and dad, bill)
congrats, my husband! (the picture is of ben with his brother, gabe, and dad, bill)
the umbrella
i took these two alexander kiddos to the park today. we played "narnia" (watchman insisted we talk with british accents. he's 4, people! this kid is hilarious!); we went down the slides; we monopolized the swing set. the highlight of the day? it was the red umbrella of course! it's so funny, the things that adults don't think about as being cool. and then a child looks at it and "it's a sword! no, it's a parachute!" genius. so we had fun charging the bushes with the red umbrella, followed by "jumping" out of a plane. (and then in my most reponsible manner, i emphasized the fact that we could only pretend jump, that to really jump we'd need an umbrella the size of a house and, of course, adult superivision. just call me bethany "debbie-downer" weaver.)
ben, the baker
with all my talk about food, i just had to show off the bread that ben baked today. delicious! it's traditional french loaf made with whole wheat flour. beautiful, huh? that ben is a man of many talents..

oh happy day!
i looked out my window today & saw some bluebirds happily munching away on something in the trees. and then it hit me: the figs! the figs are here! i feel a little like a cheshire cat right now, quite pleased with myself & basking in the glory of the fresh fig. and, well, how convenient! i was about to make lunch! it was destiny. so here we go, some mixed greens, some quartered figs, a little salt, olive oil, balsamic vinegar & fresh basil. it doesn't get better than that. (well, unless the figs were wrapped in some thick bacon and popped into a hot pan for a few minutes. now that is also a thing of beauty. hmmm, maybe for dinner..)
Labels: balsamic, basil, deliciousness, figs
the firepit
we dug this firepit, surrounded it with stones, then lit some wood on fire & scorched marshmallows. it was a thing of beauty.
ahoy, chattanooga. we'll see you tomorrow!

happy 4th, people!
ben took this little sailboat out today as it was the perfect mix of sun & breeze. there were quite a few other people zooming around on boats pulling water skis, inner tubes, pretty much whatever works to be pulled behind a boat that zips along at 4o mph. there was one kid in particular being pulled around who was whooping up a storm, obviously enjoying himself. i thought he was dying at first, he was so loud. i sat around and "sunbathed" (which consisted of coating myself thickly with spf 50 and sitting in the shade), enjoying our last couple of days up here. in a minute, we'll be building a little campfire on the edge of the lawn next to the water to listen to the sounds of early fireworks which have already started. you can see them just over the ridge where they're being fired into lake michigan. we'll head over to see the real show tomorrow.
i think i'm hearing the same kid from earlier making the same "delightful" sounds from earlier. reminds me of my brother. love you, brother!

General Description
(Artesian Norman Basset, Basset Artesiano de Normandia, Basset Artesien Normand, Basset artesian normand) Although lighter in weight than the Basset Hound, the Basset Artesian Normand is reminiscent of the breed. Basset Artesian Normands have a short body that is twice as long as it is tall. They have stout legs and a slightly dewlapped, muscular neck. Their chests are round with a prominent sternum. Basset Artesian Normands have a dome-shaped head with hairy cheeks and large eyes. Their long ears are cone-shaped and soft, and their noses are large, black, and slightly prominent. They have tails that taper with a saber curve. Basset Artesian Normands have short coats that may be bicolor: orange and white or tricolor: orange, tan, and white. Generally, this breed has white feet.
The Basset Artesian Normand is courageous and steadfast in the hunt, but he is very gentle and stable around children. Basset Artesian Normands are comparatively easy to obedience train and they make excellent companions and family pets. While they have a propensity to bark loudly, they will also give strangers an inviting welcome. They are not usually aggressive towards other dogs, and they will generally get along well with other pets. Basset Artesian Normands are natural-born hunters, so they will frequently follow scents.
Rarely Artesian Normands will be aggressive towards humans. They tend to be loyal and sometimes protective.
General Health
Because of their long backs, Basset Artesian Normands are prone to disk disease. They typically live for 13 to 15 years.
One of six recognized French Basset breeds, the Basset Artesian Normand originated in Artois and Normandy. The Basset Artesian Normand dates back to the 1600's. The breed's modern standard was developed by a French breeder by the name of Leon Verrier. Leon Verrier blended characteristics of two distinct types of prior Basset Artesian Normands. The breed was officially recognized in 1911.
Basset Artesian Normands have a smooth, short-haired coat that is easy to groom and care for. A rubber brush should be used over this breed's coat to removed dead hair. Shampoo their coat only as necessary. The ears of the Basset Artesian Normand should be cleaned regularly, and his toenails should be clipped short.
Ideal Environment
Basset Artesian Normands are suited for a small household or apartment life. They are comparatively active indoors and are content with a small yard. The Basset Artesian Normand enjoys going for a walk, but owners should be aware that this breed will chase after an interesting scent.

New Delhi| The headliner here is not politics of Kashmir. It is the food from the land also known for its lovely wazwan -- a spread of various, mostly spicy, non-vegetarian dishes that can make you forget everything else.
Although the spread at the Kashmir Food Festival being hosted at The Shangri-La's - Eros Hotel, here is less than one finds at the elaborate wedding receptions in Kashmir, but it is definitely worth a try.
The authentic stir fried lamb ribs - Tabakh Maaz - makes you feel heavenly. Among the other starters, was the Kashmiri seekh kabab served with the traditional onion chutney.
Inside one of Shangri-La's oldest restaraunts, Tamra, one could smell and feel Kashmir as the strong aroma of spices are displayed on the buffet's counters.
Dried turnips, Saffron, dried red chilly, dry cockscomb flower and shallots are the ingredients that Chef Neeraj Taygi, along with his team of local Kashmiri chefs, use to prepare the wazwaan.
Mushtaq Ahmad, the head Kashmiri chef also known as "waza", feels that only those spices brought from his homeland could be used to prepare a perfect recipe.
"I have bought all those spices, including turmeric, from Kashmir. We have our own taste and we cannot take the risk of mingling up with ingredients in case of wazwan unlike other cuisines," told Mushtaq.
Many restaruants in Delhi serve the most famous Roganjosh, mutton cooked in a deep red gravy but not all matche the one served.
Not only the food, the entire setup -- including the decoration of Kashmiri copper utensils, carpets and music -- gives a feel of the heaven itself.
One cannot miss the white tender meat balls, called goshtaba, cooked in a thick yogurt gravy (yakhni). "It is everybody's favourite. We have been serving this a lot in the last few days," one of the chefs said.
What brought wazwan to Shangri-La's?
Head Chef Neeraj said: "This festival is hosted in order to relish the taste of the most loved cuisines". "What makes Kashmiri food special is the preparation. The way every cook puts in the effort, how can the dish not be so tasty and wonderful," he asked while speaking.
Ofcourse wazwan does not please vegetarians a lot, but it does not disappoint as well. Tamatar chamen or cottage cheese with tomato puree made by a waza is the best paneer, any vegetarian would ever have.
Apart from the famous dum aloo and haakh, the chutneys, including walnut chutney, will leave you licking your fingers dry. Although the one served here is not as thick as the authentic one is, but nevertheless, I loved it. Before leaving the place, do not miss the hot Kashmiri kehwa served in copper samavar.
Also, the waza special dryfruit-rich milk-based firni. The festival is on till February 12 from 12.30 p.m. till 3.30 p.m.

By On Oct 25, 2018 Coloring Pages
A coloring page is a marathon, not a sprint! Coloring is a great activity to fit in-between other jobs in your day – waiting for the kids from school? Spend 20 minutes coloring. Got the house to yourself for 30 minutes before your friends drop by? Start that new coloring page!
Find your space. Whether you are coloring for relaxation, to de-stress or simply for fun, you need a place where you are comfortable coloring. It doesn't have to be somewhere quiet (although that can certainly help if you want to get lost in your coloring page), there are plenty of coloring groups and meetups where adults who enjoy coloring can go to chatter and color at the same time, the important thing is find your own space, reserve some time, get a comfy seat and give yourself every opportunity to color in comfort.
From here you can start to think about more advanced techniques like shading, burnishing and blending colors and begin to work with some of the tools that the coloring professionals use. Remember, these techniques take time and practice to master – don't expect to be producing masterpieces over night, after all it took Michelangelo 4 years to finish the Sistine Chapel so give yourself at least a good couple of years of practice to produce your first coloring masterpiece!

Let's Talk About Uplighting!
Violet LED Uplighting
As Hollywood movie makers have known for years, lighting creates drama and visual impact. Lighting can completely change the look of a person, an object such as a centerpiece or an entire room. Uplighting for weddings has become a huge trend in the past several years.
So, what exactly is an "uplight"? It is a specialized light that is placed against a wall and pointed towards the ceiling. Several lights around a room create a unique look as the colored beams define the area and become an eye catching backdrop for any special event.
White And Blue Par 56 Cans
There are several types of uplights and it is important to know which one you need. It gets a bit complicated but I'll try to make it simple:
Par cans- or "cans" as they are called, are fixtures that use bulbs (incandescent lights). Kind of like an old school filament light bulb, only bigger and brighter. They use more power and get hotter than LED based lights.
Cans come in a variety of sizes- Par 38, Par 56 and so on. They also come in a variety of power consumptions from 125 watts to 500 watts. Colored "gels" or filters are used, sometimes in combination, to create the desired color. Important disclaimer: Any fixture near 300 watts or more will get hot enough to burn fingers.
300 Watt Par 56 Cans With Blue Gels
LED stands for "light emitting diode". Most LED lights are about the same circumference and also have a power range, generally from 10 to 50 watts each. The diodes emit a lot of light using much less power than traditional cans.
Color "mixing" may be more difficult for LEDs than for cans. Primary colors will look fine but mixed colors like Amber (red and yellow) may be splotchy or streaky. Pastel colors can be a challenge unless the lights are the newest, upgraded RGBA or single diode lights. Big advantage: LEDs stay cool, even after extended use and are safe to touch.
Both Par cans and LED uplights can vary in their "beam angle". The light beam they produce can be very tight- 10% or more of a wide flood- 30% or more. This will affect how the light looks on the wall. For example, a tighter beam will give you a more intense, deep color but a narrower beam.
Both lights have variations in their ability to "throw", that is, how far the beam will travel. If you have high ceilings or lots of ambient light in the room, you may want a more powerful uplight with a longer throw.
Matching Color Pink LEDs
Each light has it's pros and cons depending on the application but it seems LEDs are becoming more and more popular. Probably because of the safety factor and because they require much less power.
Bottom line: Before you make a decision, go see the lights you are considering with your own eyes prior to purchasing or renting them. It is the only way to truly determine how they look and if they will give you the ultimate results you want.

This Digital Tool was used to help me accurately determine where each of my students were in relation to the material that we were covering, while keeping them engaged and excited about an activity that is out of the ordinary.
Lesson Title: Understanding Actuators and Positioners
Learning Objectives:
- Properly identify different types of actuators and categorize them as pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic.
- Determine the actions, Direct-acting or Reverse-acting, and predict how each will respond to a change in input signals.
- Upon observation, indicate the action and fail-state of the actuator and valve.
- Recognize parts and components associated with single-acting and double-acting actuators.
- Explain the importance of positioners and define their role in a control loop.
Lesson Explanation:
I will start off by giving a re-cap of the complete Control Loop we have been studying up until this point. Everything that we discussed in our control loop somehow tied to the "final element" which is made up of the valve, actuator, and positioner. We have already covered valves, so now we will begin actuators and positioners to give everyone a thorough understanding of how the complete loop works together.
We will watch a video to begin our introduction. This video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiyOHzgSa-s is a general overview and brief introduction to different types of actuators and positioners offering digital animations as well as real, field photographs for them to see.
After the video, I will take the students to our inside unit and let them walk through and try to find and identify all of the pneumatic and electric actuators. (This will be an informal formative assessment) I will walk around amongst the groups as they talk things over between their peers. I will listen to see if the class seems to have a solid understanding of the content. I will make sure everyone knows to ask me if anyone has any disagreements on what something should be classified as.
When everyone is comfortable with the devices on the inside unit, we will go to the outside unit. We will split into groups of 4, and assign each group a control valve. Each group must connect their air supply to the actuator to replicate a direct-acting actuator. Each group will also have to connect their signal lines coming from the controller to the positioner, and from the positioner to the actuator. (This will also be an informal formative assessment) The students will be able to work together, help each other, and use me as a last resource. I will check each groups' connections after they are finished. If a group has anything wrong, I will tell them they are not complete, and give them a chance to collaborate with the other groups to try to fix their problem. When everyone has their control valve connections complete, and feels comfortable, we will go back inside.
When we return to the classroom I will have everyone pull their phones out to get ready for the next assessment. I have created a short overview quiz on Kahoot! to analyze the classroom knowledge on our lesson.
https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/27ed808d-f86e-40c0-b731-b76ead1c5234 (Formative Assessment)
Why I chose what I did:
I chose to use a formative assessment because my students get so wrapped up in their final letter grade, that they forget the real reason they are in the class is to actually learn a certain set of material! The instrumentation field can be very dangerous if my students do now know their material, and know it well before they are released into the real-world. When they are so "grade-focused" they tend to memorize information for the test, make the grade, and forget it three days later. My goal is to take some of that grade pressure off and hopefully inspire an atmosphere where they are actually wanting to learn the material. That also plays into why I chose Kahoot! Kahoot! is one of the many digital tools which incorporates students own electronic devices. If we tell them to pull their phones out, instead of always staying on them to put them away (forcing them to hide them under the table to play on them) they may become more likely to use them for the right reasons, and actually engage in our activities, and hopefully take some knowledge away with them! Kahoot! also has a neat Ghost Mode that allows interactive competitive gameplay where I can play classroom against classroom. My students are always trying to "out-do" other classes. If I play into this competition and say, "Let's see who can really out-score the other class", they will probably try harder than normal.

As 2010 was drawing to a close, Extra Big Dicks decided to celebrate by bringing back fan favorite Chad Davis for another hot scene. This time, however, he brought his sexy boyfriend Ashton Parker. As a special holiday treat, we got to see how these boys like to fuck when they're home alone together. When Ashton is trying to guess what Chad got him for Xmas, his first guess is, "Can I ride on it?" From that moment on, it's pretty clear what is on the minds of these two studs most of the time. After some heavy petting, Ashton sucks Chad's fat dick. Then they trade places for a while until Chad has Ashton get on his hands and knees for some good old doggy-style fucking. They try several different positions and then Chad starts fucking Ashton extra hard when he sees that Ashton is starting to cum. Before long, these two are drenched in one another's cum. Somebody cue the holiday music! "Oh cum, all ye faithful…"

(Andrew Killeen is currently exploring Japan with his wife and two sons, aged ten and seven. In this series of posts he shares his experiences of travelling in 日本 with children.)
On Sunday, we attended the final day of the Spring Sumo Tournament (basho) in Osaka.
This represented the fulfillment of a decades-long dream for me. Back in my late teens, just as I was discovering the movies of Kurosawa and the crazy world of anime, sumo wrestling was, for a few brief years, regularly shown on British TV. The program was on Channel 4, a station with a reputation for televising obscure minority sports, like kabbadi, wheelchair curling and American football.
But it was sumo which caught my imagination: the arcane ceremonies which reveal the sport's religious origins, the contrast between the wrestlers' huge bulk and their delicate, almost balletic grace, the explosive ferocity and unpredictability of the bouts. So as soon as I knew we were going to Japan, I began checking tournament dates and booking tickets.
I have heard people say that sumo is just fat men pushing each other around. Of course this is true, in the same way that King Lear is just people speaking words, and the Taj Mahal is just a pile of stones. Like any sport, in order to appreciate it, you have to understand it, and get to know the personalities and dramas which give it narrative shape.
So I tried to make sure that the boys had some idea of what was going on; we watched Youtube videos and talked about the rules and history of the sport. Perhaps more importantly, they were given to understand that this was Dad's big day, and if they spoilt it for me, I would be very cross. Or most probably cry.
As we approached the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium, it was easy to see that we were in the right place. Brightly colored flags fluttered outside, and huge crowds were gathered on the street. We arrived at the same time as limousines bringing many of the senior wrestlers, and despite the fact that people were crowded behind barriers calling out to them and photographing them, we were bemused to find that we just walked in using the same entrance as the stars.
Inside was a combination familiar from sporting events the world over: the tang of testosterone, the overpriced snacks and souvenirs, the crowds of obsessive fans, the bewildered sightseers and glamorous hangers-on. Finding our seats was something of a challenge, as the numbers on our tickets appeared to have no resemblance to the numbering of the seats, but had to be interpreted via a code book like Chico's tips in A Day At The Races. At last we found a kindly volunteer to translate for us, and guide us to our seats.
This was not the only misleading information on the tickets. After 13 hours of traveling the day before, we had been horrified to see that the event started at 8.30am. A little google fu revealed that the morning bouts are contested by juniors and amateurs, and that nobody really gets there until 2pm, at the earliest. Even after we had arrived, the seats continued to fill up and the atmosphere to grow more intense as the afternoon went on, and one man in front of us only made it in time to watch the last three matches.
My initial worry had been that the boys would get bored and start playing up. We brought books for them to read if they got restless, but the books remained in the bag. There was always something going on: in between bouts there were processions, chanting and of course the ritual stomping and salt-throwing that makes sumo so unique. The matches themselves are usually over in seconds, but they can be won and lost in the preamble, in the stare-outs and the mind games and the build up of adrenaline.
Four hours flew by, and it all came down to a final bout to decide the winner. By now the arena was packed, the crowd vociferous, and the tension palpable. At last the knuckles came down, the challenger charged – and the champion simply stepped aside and helped him out of the ring. It was an oddly anticlimactic end to a thrilling day, and we learned later it was a controversial one. The sidestep, although legal, is frowned upon as unsporting, and poor Hakuho was booed when he gave his post-match interview. He even cried.
I, on the other hand, remained tear-free. The boys stayed in their seats and engrossed in the action, only occasionally having to go outside to practise their own sumo skills. Joseph informs he has abandoned his plans to be a soccer goalkeeper and intends to be a rikishi instead. When I voiced concerns about the idea of him eating such an unhealthy diet, he promised to buy me a house in Japan. On second thoughts, son, have another bowl of rice. Go on, have two.

This month marks 6 months of being an old married woman. It's been a interesting twist to everyday life, but I've enjoyed every moment of it. Some days it's hard to believe it's only been 6 months. October 12th seems like it was ages ago. The whole day was a blur of fun and crazy exciting adrenaline, great friends, awesome family, and lets just say that top piece of cake is getting thawed early (we waiting half a year, that's good enough right?)
In the midst of all the planning I did, my favorite components were my invitations. They were my baby. Each one lovingly wrapped up and mailed with adorable stamps to guests. Once I had these made, the rest of the wedding came together. The little illustrations I created of me and Tj were made into cake toppers. I used the flower paintings as backdrops to drink tags and food labels and for the programs.
I couldn't be happier with how these invitations presented the whole theme of the wedding. Invitations are often after thoughts in the midst of the mountain of details wedding planning will throw your way, but they are the first piece your guests will see (unless you send out a save the date.) Make a statement from the get go. Tease your guests with the goodness that awaits them.
The invitation alone is available as a printable template in the shop. You can grab it here.
