You know that moment when you go to update your website, and you realize that you haven't blogged here in awhile? Like, a long while. OOPS. To be fair, I had a lot going on! At the end of July, I moved back to my hometown for a new dayjob. The cats and I are loving my new apartment, and the job's keeping me busy!
In August, I released Finding Center, the second full length book in my District Ballet Company series. This book's pretty special to me…it's a lot about what comes after the happily ever after. Happily ever afters aren't like "poof! We're back together! Everything's great!" especially when one person has a mental illness and one person has no idea he's still wrestling with losing something that mattered a lot to him. But don't worry. They're going to be okay. I promise!
In September, I launched District Ballet Company's own website. Check it out and stay tuned for more inside information coming soon!
I'm working on a new romance story (we'll codename this one #WYW) and it's coming so easily to me. I'm hoping that keeps up! My YA is back with my agent, and I think for NaNoWriMo, I'm tackling my middle grade idea. I need to clone myself, clearly. If you want to add me on NaNoWriMo (god help us all…), I'm this_wallflower. Don't ask. I was really angsty and emo at some point in my life. (or now. SHHHHH.)
It's the end of OCTOBER, already. Where is this year GOING?! Don't ask me. I don't know. I'm going to be launching a newsletter next week and it's going to have writing tips, book recommendations, things I'm loving, etc etc. I'll post that here and on Twitter! Until then, here are some things I'm currently enjoying.
Book: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. I'm only about halfway through but oh man, I'm really loving this book on living a creative life. Normally these books get too touchy feely for me but this is hitting all the right notes.
Music: Okay, okay, totally late to the party but Halsey's BADLANDS is uber amazing and I'm writing to it quite often. And One Direction's upcoming album sounds kind of fantastic. I'm not ashamed. It's fun, pop music. One day I'm going to write a book inspired by a Taylor Swift song and a companion book inspired by a One Direction song. ONE DAY. Publishers, if you want this, you should totally call my agent 😉
Show: Quantico! Quantico is amazing! I'm also watching Friday Night Lights for the first time in my life (I KNOW. I'm forever behind the times). Never thought I'd care about football but here we are!
Youtube: Okay, so I was a HUGE fan of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries on Youtube. If you haven't watched, it's amazing and I highly recommend. It's basically a contemporary retelling via vlogs of Pride and Prejudice. And I'm late to the party on this one too but Anne with an E is the same thing, but Anne of Green Gables which is one of my favorite things ever.
If you want to share something you're loving (keep it clean ;)), please put it in the comments! I'll check it out!
Thanks for sticking with me and I'll see you around the interwebs!

In recent years there has been increasing pressure on PK-12 building level administrators to become more directly involved in classroom instructional practices. The purpose of this study was to examine elements that impacted the teaching building level PK-12 administrator. The study explored potential impediments that prevented a building level administrator from teaching. The study considered the elements that helped an administrator find time to enter a classroom to teach. It also examined what they believed the effect a teaching principal had on teachers' perceptions and attitudes of the building level administrator as an instructional leader. A survey was distributed to all building level administrators who were employed within schools located near two Intermediate Units in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Eighty-seven building level administrators responded to the survey. Eight building level administrators who currently teach, or recently taught, as part of their administrative work day were interviewed. The final process included a case study which resulted in a comparison of the data from the triangulation of the survey and the interviews with the direct experience of the researcher while co-teaching for eight weeks. Results suggested that having a heavy management workload and the lack of time to plan for effective instruction were two key impediments that might prevent a building level administrator from teaching or co-teaching on a reoccurring basis. The research identified four elements that supported an administrators' decision to teach. The elements included having additional administrative office support, central office administrative support, a teacher with whom the principal could exchange roles and the act of co-teaching with another teacher. The data from the surveys, interviews and case study also indicated that building level administrators believed their credibility increased in relation to "classroom" instructional initiatives that were introduced. Additionally, increased credibility about the principal's ability to lead an effective school was the result of this instructional leadership practice. Two other benefits identified were improved relationships with the teachers in their school and increased confidence in the principal as an educational leader.

We bought a new CD for our car. It's by the Laurie Berkner Band and we discovered it after riding to the zoo with my sister in law.
There's one particular song that took my breath away the first time I heard it and has been stuck in my head ever since. You may know it. It's called "Fast and Slow." If you don't know it take a listen. Humor me. I don't post videos too often and everything will make much better sense if you watch it.
I know I delve too deep sometimes, but I think it's a beautiful song. It's one of those songs I want to learn so I can sing it to Abigail before she goes to sleep. I want those words to swirl around her mind as she dreams.
Ryan and I have joked before about being on Abigail time and I'm sure I've mentioned it before in some previous post. Yes, we are quite sure that when Abigail returns home from her first day of kindergarten she will also return with a mostly full lunchbox not yet understanding the concept of eating lunch in 20 minutes.
Abigail wants to do it her way, in her time, and there's not a whole lot of convincing her otherwise. I lovingly refer to her as spuuuuuun-KY!
I'm fairly patient and I'm no "rabbit" but how many times have I said, "Hurry, Hurry!" "Go fast!" "Quick!" And while sometimes we do need to hurry, I know that most of the time when I say those things we aren't in a rush at all — that playground is still going to be standing, the milk and string cheese will still be plentiful at the grocery store, the line at the post office will still be ridiculous.
So why do we do it? All of this rushing and flying about. What's the first thing people tell you when you have a swollen belly full with a growing baby?
Enjoy it. It goes by in a blink.
Or when a grandmother-type stops to ask about your toddler whose legs are dangling out of the front of the shopping cart and whose cheeks are carrying crumbs from the free cookie.
They grow up so fast.
These people are right.
And maybe it's just me, but I know that the "rabbit" and "turtle" are just decoys. That turtle singing, telling us to "slow down and wait for me," warning us that "you may find yourself missing the world you go past" that may not be a turtle at all but instead the inner voice of a child.
It's hard to be patient when my to do list and Abigail's don't match up. The walk back from the middle of the apple orchard is long when she wants to try to carry the load herself. A bike ride around the neighborhood is slow when every ant, branch, stick, and rock needs to be examined. But instead of thinking of these things as painstakingly long and excruciatingly slow maybe I need to think of them as perfectly long and wonderfully slow.
Join me?
"And other times we can go fast!"
On another note:
In the spirit of slowing down, you may have noticed my blog slowing down. After a lot of thinking and almost reconciling that it may be time to end this little space, my husband stopped me. That would be sad, he simply said. And I agree. I need this space, I want Abigail to have these words one day, and maybe in meantime it's been fun or helpful for some of the people who share it with us.
But there is this other part of me that acknowledges that my time is limited and there is some other writing I'd like to work on outside of here. So I'm going to be working on finding that balance between blogging about our real life and trying my hand at a different kind of storytelling. I hope you'll bear with me.

[Current Mainland Chinese Drama 2018] Siege in Fog 人生若如初相见
serre replied to rocs25's topic in Mainland ChinaThanks! That wine drinking scene was so sad, I was just hoping neither of them will die with every glass they took T_T YLK really didn't want her to take even one glass, but what could he do in the end? He really loves QS a lot and in the end let her do it anyway. I think even if I will have maybe another fave drama, this one I will never forget.

[Current Mainland Chinese Drama 2018] Siege in Fog 人生若如初相见
serre replied to rocs25's topic in Mainland ChinaI was sick over the weekend and stumbled across this drama (not a good way to stumble on a real hit drama - I ended up rewatching teehee). I'll try to keep this short but meh.. these are my worthless two cents on the drama: I am totally in love with the setting of this drama; the actors and the costumes are just amazingly well picked. Due to the nature of it being a 'based off a novel' type of drama, I did expect to be jumping in for quite a roller-coaster ride but I didn't expect how intense it would have been until my feet was halfway into the waters. All set aside, I don't really want to touch on the family feud. I understand how YLS totally broke down seeing as he seems to be the most emotional of them in the drama and the truth hits him like an invisible cannonball. He did a lot of bad things, but I couldn't hate him. His love for his family is portrayed deeper than the other two brothers. As for YLK.. his character is of wonders. At first I thought he's just a genius waiting for the time to shine, but throughout the drama it seems like he was never interested in the throne because he trusts his brothers will do well without him. His patience and love for QS is almost hurtful to watch. He had all the patience to wait for her to slowly turn her head to him, to slowly ease herself to be next to him and do anything to not say why he's doing all this to her. I think this must be difficult to endear, especially when he had hand-picked her himself and was already totally in love with her long before their first night as husband and wife. Very admirable in a gentlemanly way. He watches QS from a distance and studies her emotions with a side-glance; how she got scared and hid behind PJC, how she cried because of YY and how terrified she was during the funeral processions. QS has always been too cold to realise the small gestures YLK did to show that he cares. Can't really blame her, she wasn't over PJC when they got married. QS's character has the most development in the whole drama. In the beginning of the drama, it was mentioned that she did not leave their house but suddenly she decided to follow her husband in death and forced herself up the mountain to see him. Then she became braver as the story moves on, up to the point she could dress up as a soldier and point a gun to YLS. She turned from a fragile housewife to a brave modern woman she had always wanted to be in her high school days. Perhaps YLK had some contributions to her change, as he himself is courageous and faces death sentences as if he's in for a gamble. PJC's return into her life is kind of essential to YLK and her relationship. She was abandoned and hence, was left to no closure on her past love and the pain from it never ceased as she carried on with her marital life with YLK. She constantly thinks of how things could have been different and the man in front of her could be PJC. When PJC barged back into her life, she finally realizes that she has a ring on her finger (the bathtub scene) and its time to finally regain her consciousness and end this chapter of her life with him. So it makes sense then that she finally had a good look at her own husband and his constant change of moods. Though YLK seems to have the gist that PJC is her past love of whom she will run to, he is torn between keeping her or letting her go for her own happiness. He wants her happy but at the same time, he cannot live on without her, even if its just to occasionally smell her addictive scent. There were so many instances where YLK just closes his eyes and takes in her scent that shows just how much he loves her. His confession at the flower garden was more heartbreaking than touching. He had been keeping it in him for so long and his emotions finally burst on the fright that she will leave him forever. (Took him over 2 years to burst that out, bravo!) Since QS has finally closed her chapter with PJC, the confession made her head to finally turn to the right guy. But if only it had been a little early. At this point of their lives, they had a short-termed happiness which then quickly ends as turbulence hits them again and again like a shower of never-ending arrows from hell that didn't stop until it killed him. For all the brotherly love from the drama, I couldn't blame YLK for not leaving his brother behind in the battlefield, but at the same time I blame him for leaving QS and their child to be a widow and an orphan in his expense. As a future dad, shouldn't you take care of yourself better? As the only candidate as heir to the Yi Family, I could almost shoot YLK at his knees and drag him home with QS on that fateful day. Of course, I wouldn't expect him to come out unscathed, but I did expect him to fall back with the only army they have left and bring his brother's dead body home. Isn't it just bad strategy to stay on and fight to death? It would be better to fall back, replan and do something about it in the future. For a drama of which its whole length was used on strategists, that last scene was acting against any good strategy and we witness the fall of two heirs of the Yi Family in one sitting. The ending was heartbreaking, seeing QS being dragged away from her husband's voluntary fall in war and their last moment being him shooting to the very grounds she's standing on just to force her to leave. That being said, the scene of her re-meeting (again) PJC says a lot. She said she's forgotten YLK to live on, and yet the name YLK she will never forget. After yet again rejecting PJC (man, just go away..can't you see yet that your chapter with her is over?) QS could still boldly walk away from him as if nothing matters. The scene of YLK and her drinking the wine in front of YLS comes to mind where she said 'hope you'll remember' while YLK said to her 'hope you'll forget' and they cheered on the drinks they never managed to swallow. YLK till the end protected QS and wants her to forget him and live on. He was the most devoted and patient lover I have ever seen portrayed in such a twisted way ever. He's devoted years of wait to make her willingly be in his arms and yet will do anything to make her leave him when danger comes. Moral from YLK-QS: if you love someone so much, you have to let them go. YLK struggled to let her go, but in the end shot at her feet to force her departure. Same as QS too, she'd do anything to be with him even if it means death, but in the end she understood he had to stay behind. In the end, she's forgotten bits and pieces of him to live on because she knew YLK would've wanted her to do that, just like he said when he was going to drink the wine. "Yi Lian Kai, this name, I still remember.." Forgetting him is also because she loves him. Moral from PJC-QS: When you're late for something very important, its too late to go back. QS's heart was shattered into a million pieces, I think even if she didn't end up marrying YLK, there's a very thin chance she would have accepted PJC again. At the ending scene where a hopeful PJC asked QS about the flute sound, she said she'd rather live with the flute sound alone. Rather meant she'd rather have not met him at all. enough about the drama! NOVEL TIME: I watched the drama first before reading the novel. At first I was being skeptical and hesitated on this. Sometimes novel-adapted dramas are just not as good as its novel and I would be left feeling 'ahh they should have added this scene..' by the time I read the book. HOWEVER, I was left in a shocking revelation when I read the novel. To summarise the main points, I'll just well.. just points: 1. YLK is way more rude, demanding and stubborn in the book. He would take anybody's life as if he's throwing away clothes. I was utterly shocked at this huge gap in temperament (and we thought YLK in the drama was too much? heh, look at this one). From the beginning of the book, he has caught QS in his arms and forced himself on her. This actually makes more sense with his whole moody personality of not knowing how to take care of a woman's heart. He seeks enjoyment with the wife he married out of love, even if its without her consent and yet made it really clear he's just enjoying life and she's in his life. In the novel, from the moment he met the adult QS, he'd personally plotted to lead QIn Family into bankruptcy, and then force her hand in marriage and also he deliberately made PJC stayed close so he could find fault in QS! His persona is too much to swallow; he is way more gentler in the drama. 2. QS is heartless! I almost can't believe what's going on. Your husband is so into you, he can't take his eyes (or hands) off of you and yet you think he's treating you bad? Wait, what? And she'd even aborted a child of theirs when she knew she was pregnant. Its just well too obvious that she's just feeding YLK more reasons to shout at her at any opportunity. She's portrayed way more heartless and way colder than we have been watching in the drama. She's so fragile, she gets sick all the time too. 3. Romance development turns so confusing and idle at the same time. YLK basically begged QS to keep their child and finally decided to treat her better. His love confessions were almost like a passing note rather than emphasis and QS takes it just as that. Though actions sure do more than words in this novel, but it was almost frustrating how he hides his emotions and hopes QS catches up. But right when she almost catches up to his emotional side, he throws a tantrum or something happened and he has to handle that first. After going round and round in circles, YLK made everyone realised how much he loves QS, but QS has been very vague till the very end. Till the very end YLK treats QS so badly, I feel like strangling him. Instead of making QS leave him with PJC safely, he missed a shot to kill QS as she left, saying he intended to kill her. He was going to kill her... I was beyond shocked at his temperament. 4. There were way more abuses going on in the novel than in the drama. I do understand how they have to tone it down for general public to accept the drama as it is. To be honest, just reading about it makes me feel bad. YLS's character and his torturing means in the book looked like it was written from hell itself. I couldn't hate YLS in the drama, but I certainly can shoot him in the head in the book. Though I actually am glad they killed MHY; I hated her so much in the book. In one of the most important twist of events, I'm utterly GLAD they changed how YLS and YLK died! In times of great chaos, how in the world can you have a brotherly fight on top of a high wall and end up dying because you fell down?! How heroic! A great strategist and his soldier brother didn't give a damn about war, they just want to kill each other because of money that YLK didn't want to give. I totally didn't see it coming. I would have thought YLK would do anything to be with QS seemingly since they had very little bliss together in the book that their feelings for each other was still very vague and was never spoken out. On the most touching part of the book that they could have inserted as a narrative in the drama: ..during the time YLK was lying on the floor and dying, he looked at the sky and the blue color reminded him of a dress QS worn. The falling snow touched his cheek and he thought 'will QS be feeling cold?' And that was his last thought before his last breath. OVERALL: The drama and the novel are both enjoyable in their own ways. In the drama, we gain some satisfaction of their love confessions being accepted, a bit of marital bliss and feelings being sorted out. In the novel, it explains more of how closed QS world is; she wasn't told of much about Yi Family matters nor war matters; she simply tries to live her life at her best. It wasn't surprising how she found it shocking to know how scheming and hurtful her husband could be, and was even more shocked that all the things he's done was to be with her or to protect her (simply because he's in love with her - and she doesn't get that). In my opinion, the book and the drama looks like it compliments each other; almost like a side story to each other. It is a weird way of making a 'novel-adapted drama' but I enjoyed it very much. I love both the drama and the book. It wouldn't have been satisfying without either of them; looks like they have to be side-by-side to truly understand the characters and the events that's happened. And the love YLK has for QS; that's something that will linger in my head for a long while.

When former Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee began his career in university leadership in 1981, the "Late Show with David Letterman" didn't exist.
More than 30 years later, however, in an homage to Letterman's regular top 10 lists, Gee listed the top 10 reasons he is glad to be serving as the temporary president at West Virginia University in a video posted on the WVU website Wednesday.
The video, in which Gee shares his glee at returning to WVU, might seem like salt in a sentimental wound, but to paraphrase Celine Dion, our hearts will go on, fellow Buckeyes.
After all, he's not gone for good. And though they had him first, we had him longer — twice.
While our beloved bow tie aficionado might be missed, he still deserves our support during his time as WVU's president.
He is still our president emeritus, you see. His time at WVU is his time on leave from OSU. Simply put, Gee is on vacation.
If he wants to wear blue and gold bow ties and gorge on pepperoni rolls with his grandchildren, more power to him.
It's your vacation, Gee. Go wild. Have fun. Listen to "Country Roads" to your heart's content.
Just promise your next video is of you trying out that fancy WVU zip line.
Oh, and come home safe. We miss you.

Today, a very special guy in my life turns 25 years old.
My brother is one of the good guys. He's dedicated, loyal, and passionate. He's responsible, caring, and funny. He's not one to blame others for what life has given him and always steps up when he needs to. And I get to call him my brother.
We are just 14 months apart so we grew up as each others' best friend and worst enemy. We had terrible fights and I don't know how my parents dealt with our bickering without tearing their hair out. But we had incredible times together. Times spent playing MarioKart and Donkey Kong on Super Nintendo, with a big bucket of popcorn by our side. Staying up on Christmas Eve, playing board games and doing whatever we could to stay awake but never failing to fall asleep before 3:00am. Watching TV shows together with our Little Debbies nightly snack. Walking to the bus stop together. Letting him talk me into skipping school.
It's only been recently that I've realized what an impact my brother has had on my life. My father has been a bad influence on me, my self-esteem and self-worth. But my brother has done just the opposite. He's been there for me, always has my back, and is the one building up that self-esteem and self-worth that my dad left in shambles. He knows exactly what I went through with my dad as he was right along for the ride, too.
We have a strong connection, the two of us. Our inside jokes are aplenty and make no sense to anyone but us (as all good inside jokes do). We can talk football for hours, but have also had some very deep conversations. We seem to have broken the Fantasy Football Fight curse that happens to us every year, but we still have our moments. We are both incredibly stubborn so put two stubborn people in a fight and you've got a losing battle.
One of the most extraordinary things about my brother is his relationship with his son. Ten days from now, my nephew will turn three years old. (No, I'm not ready to talk about it yet. I'm pretending this is not happening.) I've been able to see my brother hold his baby and feed him for the first time, so nervous about what to do and how to hold him. I've seen him rough-house with him, discipline him, and get frustrated with him. I've seen them laugh together and he is always ready with stories of new things he's doing. He is the most proud of that boy and I am most proud of him as a father. I see none of my own father in him, even when he gets frustrated with his behavior. My nephew is so lucky to have someone like him as a father. He will never have to go through what we went through with our father. (And I also can't say enough about my sister-in-law as a mother. She's pretty fantastic in her own right, which means my nephew is THE luckiest child.)
Today, my brother turns 25 years old. It's crazy to think of all we have been through and how close we remain to this day. I know his life has taken a different path than he envisioned, but I also know he doesn't let life get him down. He's one of the most positive forces in my life and I can only hope he knows how much he means to me.
Happy birthday, bro. You're still the best.

If there had been a motto at this year's meeting of the Species Survival Network (SSN) in London, this could have been it. But even without a motto, the subject of the meeting was unequivocal. Representatives of more than 50 animal and nature conservation organisations, Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe among them, had come together from all over the world. They had gathered to consider how to address increasing international efforts to support the exploitation of wild animal species, and how these species could be better protected within the scope of CITES. Another important discussion concerned preparations for the next conference of the CITES signatory states, which will take place in Zimbabwe in 1997.
The SSN works exclusively within the framework of CITES, which means that demands that cannot be realised under CITES are not discussed. These would include an absolute ban on the trade of all endangered species. Instead, the SSN's aim is to improve existing regulations within CITES or to improve the protective status of specific species. This is not easy, as CITES is not really a convention on the protection of species but on the trade in wild animal and plant species.
An example may clarify this. The Malagasy civet (Fossa fossa), a viverrid and one of the few native predators of Madagascar, is currently listed in Appendix II of CITES, which means that controlled trade is permitted. As not even one specimen of this species was traded within the last ten years, it will probably be taken off the appendices during the next CITES conference. This would mean that uncontrolled and free trade would then be permitted. However, this species has either already become extinct in the wild or only very few individuals survive. Thus an endangered species soon may no longer be protected under CITES, simply because it is no longer relevant to trade. The Australian population of dugongs, threatened by extinction, faces the same fate. Only three specimens of this population reached the markets during the previous ten years, and this is not sufficient to keep it on Appendix II (that would require at least 30 individuals traded in the last ten years).
The precautionary principle for conservation is still valid
within CITES, which means that species whose population sizes are
not well known and which could be at risk from trade, can still
be listed in the appendices. However, many CITES signatory states
and numerous lobby organisations oriented towards the
exploitation of wild species are tending to "clean" the
appendices. This will steer CITES towards its original function
as a convention on trade and not on the protection of species.
The signs for Zimbabwe are already unambiguous. Apart from yet
more tedious discussions concerning the resumption of the ivory
trade, the conference is expected to be occupied primarily with
orienting the convention more towards trade. Under the omnipotent
banner of sustainable use, the conference is also expected to
discuss the resumption of trade in many species formerly excluded
from this. The following statement may clarify the seriousness of
this development. Henri Nsanajama, who manages WWF programs for
Africa and Madagascar, made this statement on the meaning of
sustainable use during a diverse panel of witnesses before the
subcommitee on Africa at the House International Relations
Committee) on 20 June 1994:
Protection of the environment must be balanced with the developmental needs of the people. Classic conservation (non-use) has driven some wildlife to near extinction and has deprived numerous other natural resources in Africa.
The SSN working group's discussion on sustainable use was of particular interest for us in view of the problems that have arisen in the Ugandan areas where gorillas live. The SSN tries to implement very tough criteria for sustainable use, unlike CARE/DTC. Supported by experts, the SSN will lay down guidelines and present these during the next conference of the CITES signatory states. Another SSN meeting is planned for next year. Its exclusive purpose will be the preparation for the next conference of the CITES signatory states in Zimbabwe.

Gabon has the largest percentage forest cover of any African country: 70 to 85% of its total area is covered with forest. A low overall human population density of 5 to 6 people/km2 (large areas in central Gabon are actually completely unpopulated) and difficulties of access are the main reasons why these forests have not yet been destroyed. About 20 species of primates occur in these forests, among them approximately 30,000 lowland gorillas and 60,000 chimpanzees. In addition, recent estimates give an approximate population of 60,000 elephants in Gabon.
Gorillas occur in almost all of the country's forests, excepting only those in areas with a high human population density and forest islands surrounded by savannah. In the western part of the country, the forests have been logged intensively since the beginning of the 20th century. Today, there are hardly any virgin forests left in this region. In 1987, Central Gabon was opened up by the completion of a railway linking the capital Libreville with Franceville and thereby traversing almost the whole country from the northwest to the southeast. The railway made timber transport much easier and thus promoted exploitation which, until then, had been generally uneconomical for most timber companies. When work on the railway line started in 1970, logging permits in Central Gabon were issued to assist the financing of the railway line construction. The whole area has now been parcelled up between large (mainly foreign) logging companies. In all, approximately 50 companies are currently working in the country. All operating companies practise selective logging.
Cheap Plywood from Okoume
From 1987 to 1991 approximately 68% of harvested trees were okoum, (Aucoumea klaineana), which is mainly used for plywood. One to three trees of this species are extracted per hectare (1.5 on average). According to estimates, by 1988 46% of Gabon's forests had been selectively logged at least once. Every year another 2,500 km2 of primary forest are exploited. Between 5 and 30% of the canopy is destroyed during this selective logging. Only the eastern forests, where okoum, does not occur, have not yet been exploited. Prior to the discovery of rich off-shore oil reserves in the 1950s, revenues from selected logging represented 90% of Gabon's income. In 1985, it only amounted to 6%. Since the oil price dropped in 1987, timber's share in Gabon's revenues have increased again to 12%.
In 1990, the IUCN reported that there was no evidence that selective logging as currently practised in Gabon is sustainable. Detailed studies were recommended. Creating an alternative timber source by planting okoum, trees in plantations has not been successful. However, this species is a pioneer, and it grows well in clearings in logged forest and can be ready for harvesting after 35 to 40 years. Currently, okoum, is planted only on 10 km2 per year in Gabon, which is equivalent to the area affected by selective logging in a single day. In the 1980s, almost 1 million m3 of okoum, were produced each year. To supply additional revenue, the Government required the production of more than twice this volume of timber. As additional stocks of okoum, were not available, companies were forced to exploit additional commercial tree species, which increased the damage levels in the forest. This procedure certainly can not be called sustainable use.
Consequences of Development
As in all other countries, logging in Gabon directly affects the rain forests through the disturbance of ecosystems and the construction of roads. There is also an indirect effect as logged forests are more easily accessible to hunters and settlers. The employees of the logging companies hunt in the forest using guns and snares. This practice is even continued long after logging. Primates including gorillas and chimpanzees are especially sought after.
The population density of gorillas decreases by 17% under only slight hunting pressure. Under severe hunting pressure, the decrease may amount to 72%. Professional hunting has a disastrous effect on populations of duikers and primates. Professional hunters operate mainly in easily accessible forest areas and supply urban areas with bushmeat. Professional hunting poses the greatest threat for Gabon's apes; in some areas they have already been hunted out.
Nature Conservation with Limitations
Gabon has gazetted 10 protected areas, but none of them has the status of a national park and all but the smallest one have been selectively logged. Since 1990, WWF has been developing a conservation management plan for the Gamba complex, which consists of several adjoining protected areas on the south coast. At the same time, WWF has been initiating community development projects, with financial support from the German BMZ (Ministry for Economic Cooperation) and Shell Gabon. Since 1993, WWF has also been supporting the establishment of another large protected area in the northeast of the country.
Research on Apes at Lopé
Lopé is a protected area of 5,000 km2 in central Gabon. In 1980, Caroline E. G. Tutin and Michel Fernandez started their work on Gabon's apes with a country-wide survey. With many other scientists, they have been working on gorilla and chimpanzee ecology and behaviour in this area since 1983. This project has been and is supported by numerous organisations, mainly CIRMF (Centre International de Recherches Medicales de Franceville), WWF, the L. S. B. Leakey Foundation, WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) and the National Geographic Society.
The observation of gorillas turned out to be much more difficult than in the Virunga Volcanoes. At the end of the 1980s, the researchers had habituated three groups which they called Porthos, St. Exupery and Petit Prince. These groups tolerated the presence of humans, but only at a distance of at least 25 m.. This distance decreased to 20 m some years later. However, the old leader of the best habituated group, Porthos, died in April 1993 after an altercation with another silverback. The group subsequently dissolved.
The valley of the river Ogooué, one of the borders of the Lopé Reserve, has been settled for about 400,000 years. Before agriculture was established, people obtained a great part of their food from the rain forest and they therefore competed with the resident apes.
Slash and burn cultivation has been practised for 1,500 years in the Lopé area. This has led to large areas on the middle course of the Ogooué, being covered by savannas. The forest will reclaim these areas, however, if the grass is no longer burned. Today, mainly manioc and bananas, which are not indigenous to this region, are cultivated in the fields. These crops were introduced into Gabon in the 15th century at the earliest. Occasionally, gorillas and chimpanzees raid plantations, which contributes to the conflict between people and apes.
Although Lopé is not a national park, the animals there are protected quite well. There is hardly any poaching at present. But even here two logging companies are harvesting timber, although law decrees that all plants and animals are completely protected. From 1990 to 1992, Lee White conducted a study on the impact of logging on large mammals. He observed that the population density of gorillas was not affected by the activities of logging companies. Chimpanzees, on the other hand, tend to leave logged areas. It may take 15 to 25 years before the animals re-settle these areas.
The EU-program ECOFAC (Conservation et Utilisation Rationnelle des Ecosystemes Forestiers en Afrique Centrale - Reasonable Conservation and Use of Forest Ecosystems in Central Africa) started a project in Lopé in 1992. The project's leader, Michel Fernandez, has been training rangers and tourist guides. Since December 1994, tourists can visit the forest, savannahs and archeological sites in groups of 4 to 6 persons. To see a gorilla is a rare event, however. For this reason, tourism will never be as succesful in Gabon's rain forest as it is in the Virunga Volcanoes. It does not represent a viable economic alternative to logging. Caroline Tutin and Michel Fernandez thus consider international aid for Gabon as the only way to protect Gabon's virgin forests.
The Fight for the Bee Forest
It was not until 1984 that Mike Harrison discovered a new guenon species (Cercopithecus solatus) in the unpopulated Forêt des Abeilles (Bee Forest), which is an unprotected area adjacent to the Lopé in the east. This monkey has only a small distribution area which extends up to a part of the Lopé Reserve.
Shortly after this discovery, logging started in the Bee Forest. The Bee Forest is one of the last large areas of virgin forest in Gabon and especially rich in biodiversity. The start of logging activities represents a probable threat to the new guenon species. Despite its protected status, granted by the Gabonese Government in 1994, effective protection of the guenon could only have been achieved if the Bee Forest was also totally protected. IUCN had been working towards this goal for several years. Unfortunately,the entire forest has now been partitioned up in logging concessions.
Isoroy, a subsidiary of the German company Glunz AG, is licensed to utilize 2,980 km2 in this area on a 17 year lease. It takes out expensive advertisements for its logging activities in the Bee Forest and is applying to receive the "Eurokoum," certificate in 1996. Through this certification, the company hopes to convince consumers that its timber production is based on sustainable use. However, it is not evident from their brochures how their logging policy differs from those of their competitors. Isoroy (which is called Leroy-Gabon in Gabon) intends to utilize only primary forest, because the quality of timber from secondary forest is apparently not as good. This may in itself indicate that the company does not use the forest in a sustainable way.
Sustainable Use?
From 1990 to 1994, François Lasserre and Annie Gautier-Hion conducted a study on behalf of Isoroy on the impact of the company's activities in one of its concessions in the Bee Forest. They calculated that about 2% of the area is cleared completely for construction of roads, loading areas etc. For every extracted okoum, log, an average of 8.5 trees with a DBH (diameter at breast height) of 10 cm or more will be destroyed, amounting to 6% of all trees in the area. This does not include trees that are damaged and may die later.
In all, about 20% of the rain forest is destroyed through logging activities. The canopy of 14% of the area will remain open two years after logging, and 6% of the ground is left completely bare. From their study, the researchers concluded that, although the degree of damage done to the forest is considerably smaller than commonly occurs in South American and in Southeast Asian forests, this does not mean that the biodiversity is conserved or that the exploitation is sustainable.
The French biologists Annie Gautier-Hion and Jean-Pierre Gautier have been working in various regions of Gabon since the 1960s. Since 1993 they have been working together with an international team of scientists in the research station at Makand, in the Bee Forest. The station is funded mainly by the EU and the French Ministry for the Environment and led by the institute BIOFAC (Biodiversité Forestiere en Afrique Centrale - Forest Biodiversity in Central Africa). Scientists at the station are to continue the research on various species of forest animals and plants and the impact of logging activities.

In July 1995 already, the 27-year old lone silverback Salama died in Bukima; however, his body was not found until one month later. Since Jonathan Sleeman, the veterinarian of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Center in Rwanda, was not able to perform an autopsy until about six weeks post mortem, when the body was already decomposed, it was no more possible to confirm the cause of death.
On 13 August, two mountain gorillas were shot in the heart by poachers and killed, only a few hours after tourists had visited them. The silverback Rugabo (also called 'Marcel') and one of the females from his group were the victims. Jonathan Sleeman conducted an autopsy on Rugabo, who had been buried in a 3 m deep pit. Dr. Sleeman was denied access to the female's corpse. However, it is known that she was lactating. Rugabo's family was the first gorilla group to be habituated in the Virunga National Park of Zaire by Conrad and Rosalind Aveling. In March 1984, the Avelings initiated a gorilla project which was carried out until September 1989. During this period four gorilla groups were habituated to tourists and controlled on a daily basis. Since the bodies of the adult gorillas from Rugabo's group were not mutilated, it has been assumed that the poachers were after the female's infant. Indeed, a couple of days later a two-year old male gorilla infant was found in a nearby village and successfully reintroduced into the rest of the Rugabo group. But it can not be ruled out that other motives were responsible for the killing of the gorillas. Rugabo could also have been selectively shot in order to damage gorilla tourism in the Zairean part of the Virunga Volcanoes; often groups dissolve after the killing of their leader, and the remaining family members become very shy and nervous.
On August 29, another animal died, likewise by a bullet shot into the heart. The silverback Luwawa belonged to one of the "wild" groups which has since disappeared. His body was found at the foot of Mt. Mikeno, only five hours away from Bukima.

Compiled after news releases of the Morris Animal Foundation, the International Gorilla Conservation Programme and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
Despite the presence of mines, poachers and refugees in their habitat, the Rwandan mountain gorillas are apparently doing well and many were born in 1995.
In April 1995 five females shifted from the Susa group to Pablo's group, thereby enlarging his family to 30 members during the summer. At that time, Shinda's group had 18 members and Beetsme's 22. Two members of the Susa group were entangled in snares on June 24th and 26th and were freed and treated by Liz Macfie. At the end of September, a 6 week-old infant had several strands of her mother's hair twisted around two fingers and could not free itself. This condensed deep lacerations, swelling and infection. Veterinarian Jonathan Sleeman anesthetized the mother, released the infant and treated the wound with antibiotics. A few days later, the fingers appeared to be healing well.
Eight looters removed the sheet metal roofs from Karisoke's cabins in April 1995. They were surprised in the act by Rwandan soldiers. One arrested man said that they were members of the former Rwandan army and had come from the refugee camp Kibumba in Zaire. Because of incidents like this, the Rwandan rangers controlling the Volcano National Park and the gorilla groups are still always escorted on their patrols by soldiers.
According to news releases from the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and the Morris Animal Foundation.
The efforts of Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe and other German conservation organisations to resume their support for the protection of mountain gorillas in Uganda's national parks have unfortunately progressed little since the last issue of the Gorilla Journal was published. Uganda National Parks (UNP) still refuses to accept our conservation efforts. Not only those projects directly connected with the conflict between CARE and the Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe are affected by this, but also for example the project for land purchase at the edge of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and a delivery of equipment for the rangers who work there. The required funds are available and could be transferred.
A decision on the management strategy for nature conservation in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is scheduled for March 1996. Eric Edroma, the director of Uganda National Parks, has informed us that all interested donor organisations may hand in management concepts including a prospective budget by March 1996. Based on the bids, UNP will then decide which concept would be accepted. This could end in a sell-out of the gorilla parks with the contract being granted to the organisation that provides the highest bid, irrespective of the management concept presented. According to recent information, USAID is ready to invest an incredibly high amount ($57 million) in developmental aid and nature conservation projects in Uganda over the next few years. Even the best wildlife management concepts would not be able to compete with such a massive potential financial input.
A petition from the Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe to President Yoweri K. Museveni for the re-establishment of conservation work in the areas where the gorillas live has so far remained without a definite reply. Likewise, our attempts to involve CARE in negotiations to develop a joint concept for nature conservation in Mgahinga have not met with any response. CARE can safely remain silent, since they know very well that they do not really need German support and cooperation.
Another development on the multiple use strategy, so single-mindedly pursued by CARE for the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, is in the offing. Eric Edroma has now said to journalists of the Zuricher Tagesanzeiger and of the German newspaper taz: "In my view, Mgahinga is too small for this. Multiple use should not be allowed." Sucker was and is right.
UNP appears to have suddenly dissociated itself from the implementation of multiple use in Mgahinga Park, which had sparked off the conflict with CARE in the first place. Liz Macfie, the project leader of the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP) in the Bwindi National Park, now also admits that Mgahinga is so small that the introduction of multiple use would lead to unwanted side-effects. This was precisely what Klaus-Jurgen Sucker had reiterated over and over again. UNP's Board of Trustees is scheduled to decide on the final management plan for Mgahinga towards the end of 1995. Chances are quite good that multiple use will no longer be considered.
There is little information concerning the situation in Mgahinga itself. It still appears that no foreign organisations are active there; UNP alone seems to be responsible for salaries, equipment and training of the rangers. CARE does not seem to work at all in Mgahinga Park, despite all the high- sounding promises made by its representatives to park staff and rangers last year (see Gorilla Journal 2/94). Currently the road from Kisoro to the entrance of the park is being improved. Most work is being done with heavy machinery, and the local population has hardly any part in it, rather in the style of the traditional developmental aid guideline: "Our intentions are the best ones, but we want to do it our way".
CARE still seems to have problems being accepted by the local population. In the Mgahinga area they are mainly involved in the construction of an educational training centre close to the park. That UNP has never seriously considered having German organisations return to the mountain gorilla national parks in Uganda has become clearer this year. As American money can only be channelled through American organisations, and American organisations clearly pursue a right of exclusive representation, it is difficult for non-American projects in these areas to continue their work. We will nevertheless take advantage of the opportunity and present a management concept to UNP.

Maheshe on a 50,000 Zaire note printed in 1991
Many former visitors of the Kahuzi-Biega National Park will remember the silverback Maheshe. His group was one of the two gorilla families first habituated to people. Until his death, this family was visited by tourists, and it was observed by many scientists and filmed by Alan Root for the film Gorillas in the Mist.
In 1971, Michael Casimir observed a group of gorillas in the Kahuzi-Biega consisting of 20 animals. In 1972, this number had decreased to 18. In 1975, the group's leader Kaboko was supplanted by a solitary silverback of about 15 years of age: Maheshe. He was possibly the son of Mushamuka, the leader of another habituated family.
After this change in leadership, emigration caused the number of animals in the group to decrease further, from 19 to 12. From 1978 to 1980, the group comprised 9 animals, and its size further decreased to only 6 individuals in 1982. In 1984/1985 the number of animals increased again to 16. The group had 28 animals in 1987, 25 in 1988, 22 in 1989, and 24 in 1990, and 16 shortly before Maheshe died.
In November 1993, Maheshe suddenly disappeared without trace. Finally, in August 1995, his corpse was located and unearthed after a tip-off from the local population. The head and hands were missing, indicating that Maheshe had been killed for the trophies.
Since then the poachers have been caught and confessed to the killing. They acted on the orders of a local ruler, who sold the trophies for a considerable profit. However, the exact connections still have to be investigated.

Many thanks to Fritz Dieterlein, Georg Dörken, Ute Eilenberger, Jörg Hess, Günter Merz (WWF), and Juichi Yamagiwa.
The research team currently works at Kasirusiru, Tshivanga and Tshibati, in the old part of the park. Gorillas and chimpanzees are sympatric at Kasirusiru and Tshibati throughout the year. Biological and ecological studies have been conducted on both ape species for 14 months at these two sites. Similar but sporadic studies have been underway at Tshibati since 1990. From 1994, a research team of the CRSN (Centre de Recherche en Sciences Naturelles: Centre for Scientific Research) in Lwiro has been working in the park on a regular basis, together with the IZCN and the University of Kyoto.
The research team consists of four trackers and one ranger at Kasirusiru, led by biologist Mbake. The movements of large mammals along the road are observed by one tracker and one guide at Tshivanga. This team is also led by Mbake. In addition, they are surveying a botanical transect at Kasirusiru.
The team approaches the apes every day in order to habituate them to people. This habituation is a very difficult and lengthy process. A group of 12 gorillas (according to nest counts) is beginning to accept the presence of humans at Kasirusiru. They can be approached to a distance of 15 m in open landscape, and to 20-30 m in dense vegetation.
So far it has not been possible to estimate the number of chimpanzees. They move in small parties, and when a party is encountered it is usually difficult to identify the individuals. This is exacerbated through the animals' fear of people. Observing chimpanzees in dense vegetation is difficult, and following them is problematic since they like to move through the trees, jumping from one branch to the next.
Daily visits into the habitat enable us to compile a list of food plants. Direct observations are made when the animals feed, and the species of the consumed plants are moreover determined by identifying remnants of their meals found on walks in the forest.
In addition, samples of faeces are collected. Their diameter is measured with a measuring tape in order to determine the individual's age. Samples are then put into plastic bags. Later water is added and the diluted faeces are put through a sieve with a mesh of 1 mm diameter. After that they are dried and stored away for laboratory analysis. When the components of the samples are sorted, leaves are seperated from fruit and other parts such as meat, bones, seeds, insects, honey and soil. The percentage representation of each component is determined.
By surveying the movements of gorillas and chimpanzees on a regular basis in their natural environment, we are able to determine their distribution in various biotopes. To identify locations, we use an altimeter and a compass. These locations of fresh tracks of gorillas and chimpanzees are indicated in a map.
A transect of 4,700 m length and 20 m width (10 m on both sides of the trail) was marked at Kasirusiru. All fruit trees and fruit bushes are recorded on this transect. Every 50 m certain factors such as topography and forest type are noted. When we walk the transect, we write down which trees are flowering or fruiting, especially for those species that provide food for apes and other large mammals. These data help to explain how primates range in order to find food.
The research team has been walking six transects on both sides of the road every two weeks. Since February, this has been intensified to a weekly programme to have a better overview how many animals cross the road. This will give us an idea of how frequently interchanges between populations on both sides of the road take place.
A great threat to the corridor that connects the mountain forest to the lowland forest, is illegal settlement by large farmers. In a study carried out at both ends of the corridor from July to August 1995, we could show that large mammals no longer move between the two parts of the park. In August 1995, the Kasirusiru sector was devastated by a fire that was started by a farmer who illegally cultivated land in the park. It affected the central biotopes which are used by both species of apes and other animals: the bamboo forest and the secondary forest with Hagenia. The fire caused a mass movement of animals into the northeastern part of the Park, which made the observations of chimpanzees and gorillas especially difficult in August and September.

From May 12 to June 16 1996, artists' works on the theme "gorilla" will be exhibited in the museum Alexander Koenig in Bonn. During this time, visitors to the museum may visit this exhibition in the "Kuppelsaal", and they have the opportunity to reserve items they may wish to buy. All participants have donated their works or will donate part of the proceeds from sales to the Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe.
Some artists had their attention drawn to Gorillas im Rahmen by the article in the 1/1995 issue of the Gorilla Journal, and many were asked directly by the working group. Others heard about the exhibition plans through the Bundesverband der Bildenden Künstlerinnen und Künstler, Bezirksverband Bonn, Rhein-Sieg (Federal Association of Visual Artists, Regional Association Bonn, Rhein-Sieg) that sent information about the project to its members. The Panda mail-order company also supported the project by forwarding information on the exhibition directly to the artists working for Panda. The first replies were received only a few days after the mailing. So far we have received for example a lifesize gorilla painting in oils, works by the well-known animal painter Helene Moch, photographic art objects and numerous objects and pictures in which the artists have approached the subject in various ways.
The working group is trying to make even more contacts to enlarge the range of objects in the exhibition as far as possible. Any artists whose have become interested by reading this article, can contribute their work until the beginning of March. To facilitate the organization of the exhibition, the prospective exibitors should contact one of the persons mentioned at the end of this article; only with the actual number, the working group can plan the arrangement of the objects in the exhibition. All objects will be insured beforehand for the value given by the respective artists. We will be able to help with the framing of paintings in some cases.
A reading is planned for the opening of the exhibition, and in addition, an African music group will provide entertainment. Anybody interested in attending should contact one of the organizers listed below for times and items on the program. As mentioned already, a large showcase will display everyday and strange objects on the theme "gorilla". Currently, our collection consists of children's books, mugs, soaps, brushes, erasors etc. We would be grateful for any further hints or suggestions.

In April, Tom Butynski and Esteban Sarmiento found traces of gorillas on their expedition to Mt. Tshiaberimu, a part of the Virunga National Park. They brought back ten T-shirts (with gorilla motives), worn by participants of this expedition. A certificate with the signatures of all members of the team goes with each T-shirt. You can bid for one of them by a donation! We will forward the ten T-shirts to those persons who have made the largest donations by March 15th, 1996, and have announced their interest in the auction. If you want to participate, please notify us accordingly at our organization address (below). Your donations are urgently needed to equip the rangers of Mt. Tshiaberimu. Currently, uniforms are being made in Zaire on behalf of the Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe. Together with gum-boots, they are to be transported to Tshiaberimu as soon as possible.
Other supplies of equipment will be sent to Africa as soon as the transportation problem has been solved. However, this is not sufficient. As already reported in the last issue of the Gorilla Journal, long-term conservation measures have to be established urgently in this area, and we hope to participate in their establishment. We therefore ask for your additional donations for this expensive undertaking. Presently a joint conservation project is planned by Zoo Atlanta, the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and the Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe.
Support our efforts to protect the last gorillas on Mt. Tshiaberimu!

Best Devonshire Tea Ever!
Our Devonshire Tea is pretty awesome even if we do say so ourselves and visitors to The Singing Gardens and Tearooms often comment on just how light and fluffy our scones are. Each batch of scones are made to Jan's exacting standards and (secret) recipe, fresh out of the oven. Rarely does a day go by without someone trying to get a copy of the recipe out of Jan or buy our home cooked jam and as for the lashings of fresh whipped cream…what can we say?
We cater for those who require their scones to be Gluten Free and have been known to whip up a batch especially for a customer to take home with them, provided they give us advance warning of course!
We pride ourselves on our friendly service and the welcoming atmosphere of the Tearooms and while we do make a mean Devonshire Tea we are relaxed about the experience. Our Devonshire Tea can be enjoyed with a pot of Tea or Coffee, Milkshake or any other beverage of your choice. You can start with one or two scones and build from there…let your appetite decide!
Oven fresh baked scones, fresh whipped cream with home made berry jam.
Price Range: $5.00 – $15.00

Chiropractic is an exceptional way of handling workers compensation problems.
If there is an accident while at work and you have been treated using traditional medical routes, it may be a good time to see if chiropractic treatment is right for you. Chiropractors are experts at handling hidden injuries that could possibly be overlooked by conventional medical doctors. Finding the source of the injury may be the deciding factor between correcting a problem and living in pain and discomfort for extended amounts of time.
Additionally, being experts at discovery hidden injuries, chiropractors harness the progression of healing minus the need for expensive pain medication and possibly dangerous and invasive surgery. If you have sustained an injury at work, be certain to visit a chiropractor for a preliminary consultation.

Daily Kos isn't necessarily the most even tempered political blog. If you ignore the comments you'll more often than not get a pretty rational view of things. Here's a good excerpt from a post tonight by Chris Bowers.
If Democrats get booted in November, it will not be primarily because of poor tactical execution of their campaign messaging and resources. That is the Tactical Fallacy. Further, if Democrats get booted in November, it will not be primarily because people opposed the details of their public policy in the abstract, or that they were let down by not passing more. That is the Ubiquitous Political Junkie fallacy. Sure, tactics matter and appealing to activist wonks matter, but they are not usually the main cause of electoral victory or defeat. More often than not, if you lose, then you just didn't enact public policy that helped enough people by the time of the election. This is especially the case in landslide election years, as 2010 shaping up to be.
This is pretty much spot on. Its actually the one saving grace of a democracy or republic. If the bums (Democrats) aren't doing a decent job, throw the bums out! Unfortunately, what it doesn't capture is the obscene fact of American politics that the bums currently out of power (Republicans) will do much worse if and when they get back into power.

These days it's easy for people to travel anywhere and everywhere. That's lead to many of us having family scattered all over the world. But thanks to tech, we've been able to keep in touch and stay in contact. Or at least, we should have been able to. Thanks to video calling and social sites like Facebook, there's no reason for you not to know where your family is or even who they are. Yet, it's true to say that some people are still missing large parts of their extended family. Here are some great tips for staying in touch with those far away, yet dear to your heart.
Create A Family Tree
If you have kids, it's highly likely that at some point they'll come home with the school project quest of building a family tree. But if this hasn't happened yet, why not get a jump start on it. It's a great way to start building your family back through the ages and you can even find out who's missing. What branches don't you know about and how can you find where they've grown to? You'll need to get on the phone and speak to some of your relatives. You might be surprised to learn that you've got more family members than you realised. But it's true what they say. Blood ties are strong and they're probably just as eager to find you as you are to find them.
Finding Missing Family Members
Once you've built your tree, you might discover the branches that you're missing. You may have even found out some information about them through your mom and dad. What's the next step? You'll have to decide whether you want to try and find them. Remember they could be anywhere in the world but there is a solution to this problem. DNA tests have evolved and grown to the point where they can help you track people down. MyFamilyDNATest has got more information about this and what you can do to find missing family members.
When You Find Them
When you find the family members, you might never have met, it's important that you reach out to them. You could locate them on Facebook or any of the other major social networks. Once you do that, you'll be able to introduce yourself and let them know who you are. At that point, you may have discovered a beautiful new, family relationship.
Keep In Touch
Now that you've found them it's important that you don't drift apart. You need to keep in touch. You can do this using social media or even just sending out Christmas cards each year. If you want to make a particularly strong impression you could even send a gift. We recommend that you send something that isn't fragile if they are a great distance away. Then who knows, you might even want to get them to come and visit. Particularly, if they have children the same age as your own.
Family is such an important part of our lives. But it's true to say our own family is usually a lot bigger than we realise. We just have to start looking.

I had remember the other day that it has been 6 years now that I started blogging and have enjoyed every time I write. Some days are better than others but the main thing is how lucky and grateful I am for all of you who take time to read and comment.
Thank you so much.

They all put me and my haven't consistently worked out since high school self to shame. And clean eating... not so much.
However, the hubs and I are starting to make small changes. 3 Weeks No Cheats with For Blogness Sake.. no pop/soda for us. We are also adding more fruits and veggies to the mix too.
Not every week will be devoted to healthy or clean/eating {baking cookies for farmers later this week if it dries out} but this week I wanted to share some of our change ups.
Second... the "recipe"... Salad!
Lunch this week has been a toss up between sandwiches and salads. Some ham, large pieces of cheese, some red onions, croutons over lettuce with some spinach thrown in. Not pictured little bit of ranch dressing.
Please feel free to link up your recipes and restaurant recommendations... healthy or not :)
