When an individual turns 60, it's a major milepost achieved in their life. It is often termed as a milestone birthday; their response can be either positive (or) negative. Don't instinctively assume that everybody frights to accept the age of 60.
The response of the birthday woman or a man depends on their nature and their attitude. So finding out which message to deliver can be quite tricky. Should thebirthday wish or message be a little clever or funny or an inspirational one? It all depends since turning 60 will be a major milepost for anyone in this world; it could have a solid influence or impression on man or a woman who is celebrating his/her birthday.
For some folks, it's quite a tough situation, because they think that they reached the last period of their life. This kind of realization can simply make the birthday folk feel like an old person, which has a definite impact on what are you going to wish or a quote you deliver.
Types of 60 year old folks
- For smart (or) cultured 60 year folks, go with the cool messaging path
- For the emotional and sentimental types, just post a simple happy wishing route
- For charming and enigmatic people, you can send them the best inspirational quote
- For the 60 year folks who love to be entertained all the time, try something from funny messages
Are there many people in your family and your friend's network who turns 60? If yes, you are in the right place. It starts right from your grandparents, or your father, or your old friend, or your loving aunt or uncle or even your boss that might retire on his birthday. You always wish these loving and caring people to live long and share a good bonding between you and these old folks.
Life is a beautiful struggle. Sometimes, it's beautiful, sometimes just a struggle. Make beautiful memories when you can. Happy 60th birthday!
The years can show on your face, but in your mind they have no place. You may have turned sixty, but your soul thinks that it is still thirty. Physically age may start playing its part, but you will always be young at heart. Happy birthday.
By the time you're 60 you've learned everything – you only have to remember it! Many happy returns on your 60th birthday!
When you turn 60, you no longer have to make up any excuses for driving slow or braking for no reason. You have now earned that privilege! Ha-Ha happy 60th birthday!
Promise me one thing. Please, whatever you do, don't look up the average life expectancy now that you have turned 60.
Congratulations, you are now old enough you can use your back or your demented mind as an excuse to get out of just about anything you don't want to have to do. Happy 60th birthday!
Some may think of 60 as getting older, but it's actually an amazing time in a person's life where they can take stock of who they are and celebrate each new day with a renewed sense of self! Live life to the fullest! Happy Birthday!
Your message can change the way they are thinking right now about their age and some kind of inspirational quotes will definitely impose and change their attitude to spend their rest of the life happy. There might be different types of messages you want to send these people who are celebrating their 60th birthday. You might add a funny message or an inspirational quote which can be tagged with a memorable incident that happened between you both people.
If you are trying to determine which one of quotes is right for your 60 year old folks, you just need to peek into their thinking and the attitude they carry. Since you are constantly in touch with these people, and you know it on beforehand about how are they going to accept your 60th birthday quote or a wish.
The kind of birthday wish or quote in a message you select depends mostly on how they are going to take your message rather than which one is good. Though the message could be a simple one, it just replenishes their mind and heart and makes them feel more enthusiastic about spending the last era of their life in a happy mode.
Birthday wishes for a 60 year old friend
Happy birthday! Heck, you're not 60 years old — you're 60 years of vintage goodness, all rolled up in one amazing person.

How do you expect me to keep a straight face, when your hair is all over the place? How do you expect me not to mock, the way you have begun to funnily walk? How do you expect me not to make fun of you, when turning sixty makes you feel old and blue? Happy birthday!
60 really looks great on you! Have a fantastic birthday!
Now that you're 60, you're going to have to stop acting like a 20-year-old. Your midlife crisis just graduated.
We wishing you all the best and lot of rest on your special day and the upcoming year! Happy 60th Birthday!

I don't think you'll miss your 50s much with as much fun as we are planning to have during your 60s!
You are one of the kindest person I know, it's no surprise that you make it this far because you have a happy and healthy heart. Your heart contains nothing but kind words and love, I admire you for that. I hope that the Lord will bless you more years, and that you will continue spreading kindness in this harsh world. Happy 60th birthday! This universe is undeniably lucky to have you in it.

I open the window and leap out, my naked body transforming as I yield to the irresistible hunger.
My senses change: vision and hearing and smell and taste… oh, sweet taste! Four paws land lightly,
and I lift my head to greet the rising moon. It is full tonight; the hunting will be good.

The cluster of housing estates (Eric, Treby, Brokesley and Bede estates) south of Mile End Tube station in Tower Hamlets, was built about 40 years ago by the local council of the time. Next to no work has been done on these dwellings in that time.
In the last five years a Registered Social Landlord RSL-East End Homes- has taken responsibility for this cluster.
The homes are being brought up to 'decent' homes standards.
However, the larger picture is that this is one of the locations in which a chunk of the new housing required inLondoncan be created.
Already the existing population is over crowded and the area is ugly and denuded of pleasant door step space. The green spaces, such as they are, have been used as dog toilets and are not fit for any other use. There is no aesthetic pleasure to be found in the external spaces, therefore no association with the shared open spaces for play or parties or sitting and chatting. For a long time now in fact, the outdoor spaces have been used for drug dealing and violence. They have been places to get out of quickly.
One of our first pieces of work in the area was to gather some 'stories of place' and produce a set of cards 'Greetings from Mile End' http://www.theinternationale.com/PATHgreetings/ this was by way of a response to the current image of the area, probably best summed up in the Pulp song http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/pulp/mileend.html
In March last year Kerrygold approached PATH asking for a proposal for a space that could be used to create an urban natural playspace. We suggested the main route through one of these estates;Eric Street. Kerrygold accepted the challenge and worked closely with PATH, EEH and the residents to design and create a community play garden. Within two months from the start to the end of the process, this Play garden was created. The budget was a £20k contribution from Kerrygold with a little less than that matched in kind from the RSL, estate contractors and PATH.
The flat, grim, soiled grass was transformed into a space with rolling hills planted with wildflowers (children cannot roll down hills inLondonfor fear of dog soiling and broken glass). There are borders planted with English wildflowers species, most planting found on housing estates are 'defensive' or hostile' plants, Pyracanthus or Mahonia. These plants actively discourage any kind of interaction, (one does not nestle ones nose into a Mahonia to try and catch the smell of it for example.) There is a fruiting plum tree surrounded with picnic benches and tables and lit with fairy lights. It is unusual to find any seating offers in estates like these as they are viewed with suspicion…..'young people will come along and gather on them'. The benefits are of course that parents will sit and chat or share meals while their children play. The fairy lights not only add to the atmospheric lighting of the area, but make it beautiful to look out at, at night. This makes it a far more over looked space. We have a theory that it is impossible to deal drugs under fairy lights! The area has not been abused at all in the last year.
There are several raised growing beds which are shared by all the interested gardeners in the surrounding blocks and last but not least a life sized wooden cow! This was suggested as a sort of a joke, but also to ensure that the space had a playfully quirky atmosphere that sent out signifiers that this is a playable space for everyone around here from toddlers to elders.
PATH fundraised for playworkers to run sessions on this space once a week for the last year. These sessions have supported the community to use it as a play space and given the children the chance to step outside their flats and play with each other. Bengalis, French, African, White and Somali kids are all playing together and their parents are using these sessions as an excuse to get together and chat, forming new and unlikely friendships.
The Police who were sceptical about the success of this project have now whole heartedly endorsed it and any similar space that might be created on the estate.
The residents are using it for their own parties and for major events like Bengali Independence day (Tanya wore a sari over her jeans. 'I want to join in but it's too cold to wear just a sari!')
There was also a big lunch there and a huge Royal Wedding Party. The diverse community all find what it has been lacking through this small space, and now the residents of this and the other Estates in this cluster want to see the remaining open spaces developed in the same way. They want contours and wildflowers, they want hedges not railings. They want to build aBee RoadlinkingMileEndParkon one side of them andTowerHamletsCemeteryParkon the other. (Both parks are happy to advise about the native plantings that could be used to make this effective.)
Carefully supported and created, all the other spaces on these impoverished estates could serve the same function as thisCommunityPlayGarden. Some of the spaces are included in the regeneration budget. However, there are several significant exceptions to this principle and at least four areas within the cluster of estates need additional resources to match the requests of the residents revised aspirations for the spaces.
Outdoor areas will be increasingly important as new communities move into better, bigger, brand new accommodation. Without shared spaces fit for the children to play on and the adults to meet on, there will be no community building work possible. For so many reasons, this could prove to be an explosive situation with resentment and mistrust building very quickly to outright hostility. Unfortunately, this will appear to be focused around Muslim Bengali versus non Muslim Bengali.
PATH has a full time investment in working in this space for one year and a three day a week investment there (unless additional funding is identified) for the following two years.
We see this as a great place to look at the long term impact of play in terms of 'whole community' phenomena, and we have some evidence of what the estate was like before our interventions. This makes the work a remarkable research study. We have documented every stage of the work to date and will continue to do so.
A long term relationship with a corporate group would allow us to do another pioneering piece of work within the playworld in theUK.
We have long desired to try a local variation of the work that KaBOOM is doing in the untited states. www.kaboom.org
Our emphasis on the work would be to create natural playscapes with a play offer for the whole community rather than manufactured/ expensive bought equipment specifically for children.

Skirt & Shirt Brand "Self-Construction"
Added May 29, 2014
by cris orange
Vienna, Austria
I´m very pride of these 2 pieces, because they are my first self constructed patterns.
Some time ago I bought a pattern making book .
I am absolutely fascinated of the possibilities that open up when you construct your own patterns. Not only you can make made-to-measure clothes, but also, starting from 3 basic patterns (skirt, pants and top) you can vary them and bring in any design element you want.
I started with the simplest patterns: straight skirt and shirt without darts.
In order to make them more interesting, I added a balloon ruffle to the skirt and butterfly appliques to the shirt. The butterflies originate from the fabric of the Camelia Dress .
Both pieces can be find in my DaWanda Shop :-)

99 Year-Old Dog License
Native American Lesson Learned
One of the main benefits of metal detecting is constantly learning new things through the objects you find. You may not, as they say, "learn something new every day," but certainly, it seems, you "learn something new every dig." On my last outing, I unearthed some notable items, including a William III copper coin (1694-1702), … Continue reading
Cool, Cob, and Collected
Recently, I embarked on a day-long outing to the South Jersey farm fields. This was a new permission of my friend's (to which he graciously invited me) on land directly adjacent to a separate property where I found my 1st Spanish cob (1620-1650). So, needless to say that I didn't need any further proof that … Continue reading
Few and Farthing Between
Some fields continue to provide great artifacts no matter how many times you scour them. This can be due to a host of factors: an expansive acreage that can never be precisely searched, changing ground conditions (e.g., erosion due to rain), the churn of the plow, etc., etc. So, it was no surprise to me … Continue reading
Newfound Hope
On a recent outing to an unplanted field in Salem County, NJ, among other finds (King George III copper, colonial tombac coat button, 1894 Indian Head penny) I located a colonial cufflink. As I unearthed it, I immediately noticed a crude design, which in my experience is often the case with 18th century cufflinks. At … Continue reading
Most Wanted… Found!
No matter what your hobby or interest may be, we all have those elusive, much-sought-after finds, goals, catches (think fishing), or items that we are hoping to someday cross off our personal bucket lists. For me, in my hobby of metal detecting, this was always the New Jersey state copper coin. Why the New Jersey … Continue reading
Silver Korean War Trench Art Ring
This find falls under the "you never know what you're gonna get" category. I was searching on a VERY OLD property — built in 1720 kind of old — and was hoping to find colonial relics and coins. I didn't. But what I DID find was this amazing ring. At first, I didn't know what … Continue reading
WWI Trench Bugle
When I detect, I'm usually very methodical. I focus on a set area and go slowly, making sure my grid pattern doesn't miss an inch. Often, however, when the beeps go silent, I get frustrated and my plan gets changed. I start to wander, aimlessly and get more lost in the lack of finds. And … Continue reading

{If you missed it, you can catch a letter I wrote to our little one today here.}
Dear Self,
It's ok to not finish everything on the to-do list today.
You really can go relax and read that book you picked up today.
Being a wife and mama doesn't have to be nonstop doing.
It can be moments of just enjoying and relaxing.
{Just one more thing! Promise!}
Just a reminder too that you don't always have to say, "Yes"
to doing things. Over-committing or even,
committing when you really can't give 100% just isn't worth it.
Balance is important. Especially at this point in life with another little one on the way.
But, thinking things through is important too.
An, "I'll have to get back to you on that" works too.
And, your husband and son are pretty good excuses for turning down something :)
Dear Husband of Mine,
You're wonderful. I love you.
Even the times I get a little irritated these days.
It's not you (well, not most of the time at least ;-)
Although, I did chuckle today
when I told you I wasn't feeling too great
and you asked, "Why?"
Oh, I don't know. Maybe it has to do with
a little someone coming in
seven months :-)
Still. I love you a great deal.
You put so many other guys to shame.
You treat me like a princess.
You are always asking if I'm ok,
and calling just to say hi.
You love dinner whether it's top ramen
or something fancier.
And you do great with Andrew. It's so sweet to watch.
I can't wait to see what the next years bring for us!
Dear Andrew,
I love you so much.
You amaze me every single day.
Today, I was telling your daddy a story about years ago,
spending the day with friends at a rollercoaster park,
and how we got slushees because it was hot.
We got in line for a roller coaster and were sad because
we had to throw them away, even just standing in line.
You piped up with an idea.
"They should put a trash container on the roller coaster!
Then everyone could keep their slushees!"
It amazes me what you pick up on, are listening to,
and think of in response at just four years of age.
I love your enthusiasm for life. I hope you never lose it!
It is so sweet. I love you sweet boy.
And our snuggles at night. They are the best.
I love hearing you sing. You're at a pretty sweet
place in life right now.
Dear craft box,
I miss you. I really do. I have so many great ideas!
Like this one
And this
(except I have a much prettier idea! And using the letters to spell out words)
And, this to store my jewelry
Someday. I'll get back to you, craft box. I will. :) Promise.
Dear Pillow,
You and I are on pretty good terms right now. Oh yes. :)
Except for some days. I need to make longer appointments with you.
This baby loves that!
Dear Goodwill,
I will forever be your fan.
Where else could I find this
for $6.99?! Total with food: $15.99. Oh yeah!
We have one happy little chef-in-training!
Dear Charlie Puth,
Your covers of songs are quite amazing. Truly.
I could listen to them for a long time.
Exhibit A.
Exhibit B.
Dear identity thief,
Did you really think I'd fall for this?
I'm honored that you'd like to confirm my account, but I think I'm good.
You might as well just as for my social security number and credit card
while you're at it.
Dear Chase, Visa, and Paypal,
No more interest or payments for you!!
Paid you all in full! Hallelujah tax return!!!
P.s. to self
Laughter is good for the soul.
Very very good!
Happy weekend everyone! I'd love if it you'd link up too :)

As a federal employee based in DC, to say that this month brings change is an understatement. For myself, I started officially a new position within USAID as a Climate Smart Agriculture Specialist within the Bureau for Food Security, a Bureau I've been moonlighting in for over two years now. I join a tight, dynamic team of long-serving USAID staff, a Foreign Service Officer accustomed to leading entire offices focused on Economic Growth in Asia and Latin America, a Kenyan-American with deep ecological training and ability to work across the environmental sphere with ease, and myself. Our three-person team will be the front face of the Agency for climate-smart agriculture. All of these shifts against the background of a monumental shift in perspective and priority within the executive branch. It's an interesting time, to put it mildly.

Nearly 34 years ago, the first £1 coin entered circulation; its design has just been changed to a 12-sided coin which has caused people to reminisce about the old threepenny bit.
Shortly after the first £1 coin was being introduced, another coin was removed from circulation namely the half penny coin. In its final iteration, it was one of the new coins created for the decimalization of our currency in 1971, so when it was withdrawn in December 1984 it had lasted just under 13 years before inflation eroded its value to be uneconomical to produce and use. Yet the current penny coin is now worth less than the half penny was back in 1984 so should it too be withdrawn?
Opinion is mixed judging by our recent research among the UK population.
We have a choice on how we regardthe penny coin. If we don't like using them then we are not forced to. Simply take them out of your purse, wallet or pocket and put them in the dish, jar or whatever and let them accumulate out of circulation and in turn this will force the Mint to produce more of the little alloy discs.
Businesses too can choose.If a business enjoys bagging up pennies or likes to request pennies from the bank to use in its float, then fine. Alternatively, businesses could round their prices to the nearest x pence, where x is somewhere between convenient and competitive.
If the penny coin is withdrawn would we miss it and reminisce like with the threepenny bit or would we quickly forget it even existed like the half penny coin?

Substance misuse is a major cause for concern and has a negative effect on society at large. Though students constitute a large segment of drug abusers, adults also succumb to drug abuse. There is a tendency amongst middle-aged people to abuse prescription drugs.
Substance Misuse Solutions
Substance misuse solutions are of vital importance to help people recover from the damage caused by substance misuse. The first step towards combating drug addiction is to make the abuser aware of the damage it causes the body & this is one of many extremely effective substance misuse solutions. Most addicts lack confidence and, therefore, must be taught to become a master of the situation and not a slave to addiction.
There are many institutions and organizations that will help provide substance misuse solutions to help drug abusers kick the habit. One of the most important substance misuse solutions is as simple as the support of friends and family. Although first and foremost, an abuser must be committed to giving up drugs. Doctors and counselors are a drug abusers greatest ally in the battle against addiction.
People who realize they have to quit this dangerous habit may be too embarrassed or afraid to confide in anyone. They might even be worried that they will land into trouble if they admit to having this problem. Abusers must talk to anyone they trust.
Substance misuse solutions can be viewed from many perspectives. On a national level, substance misuse solutions are based and discussed in terms of the reduction in supply of drugs. From a social perspective, susbtance misuse solutions are usually discussed in terms of prevention, early intervention and treatment.
Prevention is always better than cure. This adage holds good in fighting substance abuse too. Public education campaigns aimed at substance misuse solutions and stricter laws regarding purchase and use of legal substances are measures that have been adopted in the UK.
Many areas have created coalitions of community and business leaders to address the problem of substance abuse & how effective substance misuse solutions can be applied successfully. These groups run community-based programs that provide mentoring, tutoring, alternative activities, and life skills development for youth in drug-impacted neighborhoods.

For the most part, when it comes to figuring out how to do all this stuff that we've never done before, we've referred to just a handful of books, one of them being our pediatrician's guidebook, The New Basics. What I like about this particular book is that it's pretty laissez-faire. Michel Cohen, who wrote the book, is French and his advice basically boils down to "don't worry so much." I like that.
The book's been super useful. When Aki started getting picky about eating, and we were worried that we'd be down to hot dogs and ketchup in no time, I picked up the book and looked up picky eating. It said "The best reasons for a toddler to eat are hunger and pleasure." When it's time to eat, you put the food you made in front of her. If she eats, great, if she pushes it away or starts throwing it, no problem. Take it away, wait until the next meal time, and serve it again. No praise or pressure for either choice: you choose what she eats, and she chooses how much. She'll eat as much as she's hungry for, when she's hungry. And it worked like a charm. We had one rough meal, where she went to sleep without dinner because she didn't want it. And she woke up very hungry the next morning. And she saw the dinner. And she was very very sad. Then she got over it and started eating. Booya.
So when it came time for the potty training, I went back to the book, and looked up what to do.
You should read that link. You really, really should read it. In fact, here, I'll just repost it for you:
Okay, get ready for this. No matter what you may have heard or read, toilet training is unnecessary. Children learn to move on from diapers, not because they are run through drills but because they become sensitive to the increasing discomfort of marinating in their own dirty diapers. Just like any other milestone, this occurs naturally as a normal part of a child's development, and it does not require training.
Oddly, modern technology delays the process somewhat; today's diapers, which are super-absorbent and designed to fit perfectly, don't cause the same discomfort that diapers did in years past. I bet one of the reasons you're toilet trained is that you grew tired of walking around with a soggy, stinky diaper around your waist. Nowadays, children are less motivated to graduate from this phase as quickly. This delay may make you wonder if Jimmy is ever going to be out of his diapers. Compounding the issue, day-care centers and preschools often impose toilet-training ultimatums for enrolling children, not so much for your child's benefit as for their own convenience
The truth is that all children will be done with diapers eventually, some earlier than average, some later. But the child-care industry and certain behavioral psychologists have conspired to create a huge amount of pressure for children and parents alike. I recommend that you merely help Jimmy decide when he wants to be clean and offer a little assistance along the way. My laissez-faire toilet training method, scientifically tested on my own three children, goes something like this:
- Once Jimmy becomes aware of his daily waste production, around eighteen months of age, he'll start to let you know when his diaper is full. This is a fine time to start the process.
- Buy a potty, and set it on the floor in the bathroom next to the adult toilet. There's no need to discuss the function of this new piece of furniture.
- Let him run around naked as often as you can and wherever it's practical. Not only is this the best way to prevent diaper rashes, it will make him much more conscious of what comes out of him. Unless you have expensive carpeting, it makes little difference whether you swab the floor or swab his butt.
- Now let him go about his normal business. Occasionally, he'll stop playing to go number one or two. The first few times, he'll be surprised to see what comes out of him and may even enjoy the novelty, but that will wear off quickly when he slips in his own urine. Soon enough, when he feels the urge, he'll look around for a place to satisfy his needs where he won't be bothered by them later. That's when he'll remember the new piece of furniture.
- Because Jimmy vaguely remembers seeing you—his role model—sit on the toilet, he'll mimic you.
- Before he has fully mastered his potty, he might ask you for a diaper when he feels the urge. Oblige without comment. This is just as good as going to the potty.
- If the process becomes too messy or starts to drag on, you may have started too early. Give it a few weeks and try again.
- Don't pressure Jimmy. Pressure can be as subtle as a suggestion. It is at best pointless and at worst can delay the process and even lead to stool retention, a dramatic situation wherein kids withhold their stools intentionally [See: Stool Retention]. If your child's day-care center or preschool pressures you, just pay your tuition on time, tell the director that Jimmy's almost there, and stand by him supportively.
- Don't reward or bribe him because he went to the potty. Jimmy is definitely smarter than a pet and will figure out that you have a major stake in his bladder and bowel elimination. As part of the toddler exploration stage, he'll try to reverse the circuit and figure out what happens when he does not use the potty. Also, rewards become a form of pressure, because he will start to feel punished without them.
- Don't make him watch toilet-training videos or read toilet-training books. They are boring and unproductive.
- Don't suggest that Jimmy sit on the potty when he's not feeling the urge. He won't understand what he is doing there if he does not have the need.
- Don't rush him onto the potty if he starts urinating or defecating elsewhere in the house. You probably won't get him there in time, and these mad dashes will introduce unnecessary commotion.
- Don't worry if he suffers occasional setbacks after achieving some control. It's not always a perfect process.
If you stick to this method, most kids will naturally achieve control between the second and the third years, first with urine and then with defecation. When they are comfortable with the potty, the transition to a real toilet happens relatively slowly but spontaneously.
...Okay. So that stopped me in my tracks for a bit. Letting Aki shit on the floor felt a little too laissez-faire. I was half wondering if Cohen was playing a big joke on parents, and when we went in for our 18 month checkup, we'd get the real dirt (ahem) on how to potty train. But nope: the pediatrician asked if we were going diaper-less yet, and mentioned that since it's getting nice out, we should take the potty out to the park for a few hours and try it there.
Well, hmm I thought. Maybe this is where I start losing my cool-parent cred. I'm okay with that. I bought a potty book with reward stickers (it's really insipid. You know a book is bad when there's no author) and I started putting Aki on the potty and reading it to her over and over, promising stickers if she pooped. I looked at her face for clues that she was pooping, and would rush her diaper off and then toss her onto the potty. She sat, compliant enough, listening to the potty book until she got bored, then she'd get up, and I'd put her diaper back on, and a few minutes later she'd poop.
Finally, earlier this week, we packed up the last two rugs in the bedroom and living room, and this morning, we took off her diaper, put the potty in the living room, and let her run around. She peed. Onto the floor. Three times. The third time she got upset about it, and I put her on the potty. But cleaning it up wasn't terrible. Our floors are a very resistant bamboo, and are very cleanable. But she also hasn't pooped yet.
Am I crazy for doing this? I don't know. I hope it works. We'll give it maybe a week and then try again later, I expect. It's weirdly nerve-wracking. But I think it's better than making her feel pressure to poop or pee, and I'm confident that she's smart enough to figure this out. So who knows. Maybe we'll be buying big-girl underwear this weekend. Maybe just an extra bottle of Murphy's.

5. I live here in a village house without
all that racket horses and carts stir up,
and you wonder how that could ever be.
Wherever the mind dwells apart is itself
a distant place. Picking chrysanthemums
at my east fence, I see South Mountain
far off: air lovely at dusk, birds in flight
returning home. All this means something,
something absolute: whenever I start
to explain it, I forget words altogether.

My eleven-year-old daughter, Lilly, just formed a "Save the Worms Society" at her school. She is beyond excited about this and fully believes this will be a world-wide organization someday. In any case, it is big news in our house. It is moments like these, watching my daughter, full of enthusiasm and hope, which make me feel as if anything is possible.
Please allow me to brag. Lilly is a happy, healthy, beautiful child. She excels in everything she does. She has had the highest grades in her class every semester since she started school. She has worked her way up through the ranks of her Tae Kwon Do class and is now a brown belt who is frequently called upon to lead the rest of her class. She is artistic and has even won a few art contests with her drawings. She is well-mannered, well-behaved, and in many ways, quite mature for her age. All of this pleases me, but it is not what makes her special.
What sets Lilly apart from the crowd is that she has an unrivaled enthusiasm about her, and she uses her passion to try to make her world a better place. The worm project is but one example of this. You see, some children in her class were "picking on" the worms one day on the school playground. It seems these little worm bullies did not have a good understanding of how worms would like to be treated. These hoodlums handled the worms roughly, and Lilly feared for their safety. She gave the children a good scolding and did her best to convince them that worms should be treated with respect and compassion, but she did not think this was enough. What if other worms in other places had no one to protect and defend them? So, she gathered together a small band of believers and started the "Save the Worms" society, complete with rules, regulations, standards of worm care, and a pledge to treat worms everywhere with the kindness they so richly deserve. But she did not stop there. Once she was home, she called a few friends at other schools to encourage them to start their own worm societies in their own schools. She is 100% convinced that this will happen, too.
Perhaps I am blinded by my love for my child, but it seems to me that few eleven-year-olds would go to the trouble of creating a movement to secure the safety of these poor, unfortunate, misunderstood worms. That is what makes her special. That is what sets her apart. She sees a need and she does not hesitate to believe that it can be taken care of. She sees no barriers to her dreams, and her spirit soars with the hope that she can mold the world into what she wants it to be. I know the world can be a cruel place, and many plans never reach fruition, but I hope she never loses her enthusiasm and determination to make a difference.
On days I feel like all my efforts are for naught, I think especially hard about my Lilly and the joy she has for life. I think about her love for all living creatures. I think about her compassion and her will to do good works without any sense of discouragement. She motivates me and makes me feel that I can take on the world, too.

Imagine life without grocery superstores, 24-hour drive-thru windows and food delivery apps. Imagine that instead; you had to eat what you or your neighbors could produce. Now imagine; it's February and you haven't had any fresh fruits or vegetables all winter long. You've been eating eggs, dairy and meats and the last of the potatoes and other root vegetables stored in the cellar. All that you canned the growing season before is dwindling. Then March comes along. The days get a little longer, the air loses its chill and those first shoots of green poke their heads from the ground. Spring has arrived, and with it, a new year of fresh produce.
That scenario is hard to imagine, considering modern grocery stores give us the luxury of year-round fresh produce. However, while the long-traveled, out-of-season, supermarket variety fruits and vegetables may get you through the winter, they're no match for the flavor and superior quality of fresh, in-season produce. Here in Middle Tennessee, we're lucky to have such a long growing season which allows for months of fresh, local produce. And that may be the greatest luxury of all.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares are a great way to get your hands on a wide variety of locally-grown produce come spring. Buying your CSA shares now helps out your local farms. As Hank Delvin Jr., of Delvin Farms (www.delvinfarms.com) in College Grove, explains, "The winter and early spring are when farmers need cash flow to make repairs for the new year, order seeds and pay for labor to get repairs done. Paying a farmer up front for a CSA is a great way to get them kick-started for the year."
(For a roundup of local CSAs, visit the Farm Guide.)
Look for - and enjoy - the following local produce in markets this
(Click headings for recipes!)
Spring Onions: Planted in the late fall, spring onions are harvested in the early spring while their bulb is still tender. They resemble scallions and can be used similarly, but their bulb is larger and the flavor stronger. Slice the green stalk for stir-fries or mix into salads. Sprinkle on cooked eggs or soup. The bulb is sweet enough to be eaten raw, but may also be saut�ed or caramelized; made into sauces or pureed into soups.
Asparagus: When first planted, asparagus plants won't produce until the second or third year. The recognizable stalks are actually buds that will eventually turn into wispy fronds. Some grow to 10' tall, if left unharvested. Cut stalks at the base near the ground and eat quickly as they lose sweetness the longer they're left. Store stalks in a jar with one inch of water until ready to use.
Greens: Many farmers, like Delvin begin planting hearty greens such as cold-hardy spinach, collards and arugula in covered hoop-houses long before the threat of frost is gone. Delvin wants to get a jump on the farmers' markets. "Winter greens are one of the first vegetables available each year. We like to get a jump on starting them for market as early as we can for our customers." These hearty greens can be eaten raw or saut�ed with olive oil and garlic or stirred into soups.
Broccoli: Broccoli is related to cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale and cabbage. Broccoli grows best in cool weather. Once the weather warms, its sprouts can become tough and will eventually flower, if left to its own devices. Enjoy any number of ways including raw, boiled, saut�ed or roasted. Don't forget those stems! The florets are tasty, but the entire stem is delicious, but the very ends.
Spring Fruits: While rhubarb isn't actually a fruit, (it's a vegetal perennial with a fibrous stalk like celery) its tart flavor when combined with sugar evokes the taste of a citrusy, tart cranberry. The first of any fruit-like plants to come up each spring, rhubarb can be made into teas, sauces for braises and, most commonly, desserts. Rhubarb is often paired with strawberries for its sweetness and complementary seasonal timing. You can find both in the market starting in April.

If you're anything like us, you are your own worst critic. So anytime you take a photo, you can't help but pick out your flaws. What's up with your hair? When did all of those wrinkles pop up? Does your shirt really hug your body like that?
That quick downward spiral kept Kirsten Bosly from taking photos for years. The mother of two was so ashamed of her body that she avoided getting in pictures with her children. But then she came across a meme reminding her that one day, these photos will be the only things her kids have of her.
Now, she says, she's done putting down her body that has done "nothing but support her for 41 years." Check out her inspiring post below, plus a photo of her proudly posing in a bathing suit with her kids:

Michael Clarke expects wounded Australia to hit back
Michael Clarke has warned England that Australia will be a much tougher proposition in the forthcoming one-day international series.cricket Updated: Sep 05, 2013 21:49 IST
Michael Clarke has warned England that Australia will be a much tougher proposition in the forthcoming one-day international series.
Clarke's team slumped to a dismal 3-0 defeat in the recent Ashes series in England, but they have a chance to gain some revenge in five one-day internationals, the first of which gets under way at Headingley on Friday.
And the Australian batsman is convinced his team's high one-day international ranking, which contrasts sharply with their lowly Test placing, is an accurate reflection of their ability to dominant in the limited overs format.
"I think we're ranked second in one-day cricket and in Test matches we are fifth so there's a big difference," Clarke said.
"We've got a lot of young players coming through our one-day system but in both forms of the game, we haven't been as consistent as we would like.
"I think in patches we've played really well, and generally at home in our conditions pretty well.
"But we need to perform when we're away from home, and our most recent trips to the UK have not been successful. Let's hope we can turn that around."
An one-day international series victory would ease any perceived pressure on Clarke's captaincy before they have to face England on home soil in the Ashes rematch at the end of November.
But he insists he is just focused on finishing the tour of England on a high note.
"When you're captain, you're accountable - especially when you're not performing well and your team is losing," Clarke said.
"I understand that. But me wanting to win this series has nothing to do with my captaincy.
"It's about this team, where we're at and trying to move forward and improve in the one-day format and get back to being number one in the world.
"That's why it's important we win this series.
"We want to get back to the top of the tree in the one-day format and perform here.
"We will be doing everything we can to have some success in these five one-dayers.
"I want to see this one-day team get back to where it belongs, at the top of the tree, and we are going to do everything we can to play our full-strength team."
As for his own future, at the age of 32 Clarke does not see his chronic susceptibility to back ailments as any obstacle to a long career in both Tests and one-day internationals.
"I think it's obviously manageable," he said.
"I feel as fit and as strong as I've been throughout my career, so I don't see any reason why I can't continue to manage it and play for a lot longer in both forms of the game.
"I love one-day cricket, and Test cricket as well. I'm enjoying being a part of both teams and leading both teams."

Want to Eat Eco-Friendly? Some Tips to Get Started
Written by Jane Bills of Let There Be Bite
Okay, the purple butterfly might be a little much, but I like the message, don't you? As I continue to watch floods, tornadoes, and fires stampede across the country (sorry, but no one can convince me it's not because of climate change and greenhouse gases), I know we can do better. We can conserve more, recycle more, live greener and with better intentions for the future of this ailing planet—at least I know I can. Want to join me?
DRINK TAP WATER Bottled water is no safer than tap water, and, in some cases, is more contaminated. If you need any convincing of this, see the movie "Tapped." Here, some of the film's major takeaways:
- Big corporations (Coca-Cola: Dasani, Vitaminwater; PepsiCo: Aquafina; Nestlé: Arrowhead, Poland Spring) brazenly appropriate community groundwater, "purify" and bottle it, and sell it back to consumers at 1,900 times the cost of tap water.
- "Purified" bottled water is often more contaminated than tap water. Tap water is regulated and tested 300-400 times per month; bottled water is not tested at all. Independent researchers testing bottled water have found petrochemicals [benzene (petrochemical known to cause cancer), styrene (hazardous chemical that can cause gastrointestinal, kidney, and reproductive problems), and toluene (benzene derivative found in gasoline and paint thinners)].
- The plastic bottle itself is made with petroleum and can contain Bisphenol-A,
or BPA (known to cause cancer, diabetes, liver disease, low sperm count, and brain disorders like hyperactivity). Related tips: Look for "BPA-free" on baby bottles, food sold in cans (or buy fresh more often), and plastic storage containers. I use a stainless steel water bottle for running around town and these BPA-free containers for food storage.
- Only 50 percent of plastic is recycled worldwide. This has created swarms of discarded plastic material in the oceans, which is now being found in the fish we are consuming. If you use plastic, please recycle.
Filter your tap water Tap water may be the greener alternative, but groundwater still carries too many contaminants. It usually suffices to use a simple water filter, but since San Diego tap water is notorious for tasting like sea water, and a recent analysis of our water did not leave me feeling confident, I invested $250 in a reverse osmosis unit, which purifies water to a much greater extent. And yes, you can call me Heidi because I live in the Alps now!
EAT ORGANIC If you do nothing else, do this.
Organic food is what we are meant to be eating. It contains no preservatives, fertilizers, or pesticides. It is not genetically modified.* It has not been sterilized with radiation or ammonia. Organic food is highly regulated: organic farms are required to constantly test both their products for nutrients as well as their irrigation water (non-organic farms use "sewer water" that can contain biosolids like heavy metals, lawn pesticides, gas, detergents).
One criticism is that organic food can be more expensive than conventional food, but not always if you know how to shop:
- Buy from farmer's markets (a recent study found them to be up to 40 percent cheaper than in stores).
- It is not necessary to buy organic fruit and vegetables whose peel is later discarded, such as pineapple or squash. At the very least, buy organic when it comes to the "dirty dozen": peaches, strawberries, nectarines, apples, spinach, celery, pears, sweet bell peppers, cherries, potatoes, lettuce, and imported grapes. These items often require more pesticides to fight off bugs compared to hardier produce, such as asparagus and eggplant.
- Buy in bulk when possible for items like organic sugar and cereals. I buy organic chicken broth in bulk at Costco, for example.
- Prepare vegetarian meals more frequently. Organic lentils will be more affordable than organic grass-fed beef. Plus, just about everyone can stand to eat a little less meat.
- It's not ideal, but look for organic food that is close to expiration and has been marked down in price. Some of the big-box stores that expanded to sell organic food in the last few years, like Walmart and Target, may have good deals.
* Look for this label in the grocery store. However, no food can be guaranteed 100% non-GMO. Our food system is far too infiltrated with genetically modified origins to completely eradicate it. Additionally, pesticide spraying in one field can carry in the wind and contaminate organic fields. However, organic food is a far better alternative and gives you a much greater chance of avoiding these DNA-altered ingredients that are pervasive in mainstream food.
EAT LOCAL Your food will be fresher, tastier, and full of more nutrients. You'll drastically minimize your carbon footprint and you'll be supporting local farmers. A friend who works on an organic farm refers to the "frozen Han Solo" effect of mass-produced tomatoes. They are picked unripe and green, essentially frozen in time, transported far far away, and then gassed with ethylene to turn them red and ripe-looking. Any surprise they have no taste? As Barry Estabrook, the author of the agricultural exposé Tomatoland, puts it, "Tomatoes are being bred for shipping, not taste."
EAT IN SEASON This goes hand-in-hand with eating locally. Eating grapes in winter? They're being flown in unripe from Chile. Pay attention to each season's bounty and try to consume accordingly. Farmer's markets are great signalers for this. They won't be selling grapes in January!
EAT LESS RED MEAT Two words: climate change. Producing the annual beef consumption of the average American emits as much greenhouse gas as a car driven more than 1,800 miles. One study goes so far as to say 50% of global greenhouse gases is due to beef production. Another says it takes 12,000 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. Plus, it's not just red meat: lamb, cheese, pork, and farmed salmon also generate damaging amounts of greenhouse gases.
In terms of personal health, a 2009 National Cancer Institute study of 500,000 Americans found that the people who ate the most red meat were 20 percent more likely to die of cancer and at least 27 percent more likely to die of heart disease than those who ate the least.
If you must buy red meat, buy it grass-fed or pasture-raised as these methods create less environmental harm. And get on board with Meatless Mondays! Your body will reward you for it. As they say, "Pay the farmer now or pay the hospital later." Vegetables, legumes, organic poultry, sustainable seafood, pasta, fruit—there are endless alternatives to eating meat as often as we do.
BUY MILK rBGH- (or rBST-) FREE When buying cow's milk, look for "organic" or "rBGH-free" on the label. Recombinant bovine growth hormone, or rBGH, is injected into conventional dairy cows in the United States yet banned by most first-world countries. Injections of antibiotics often follow since the rBGH, which boosts a cow's milk production by just one extra gallon per day, also makes the animals sick. Consequently, girls are now getting their periods as early as 7 years of age and there is evidence the hormone contributes to the development of cancer.
BE SELECTIVE ABOUT SEAFOOD Fish is a wonderful source of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, but dumping pollutants into our waters for decades has finally caught up with us. Large fish like tuna and swordfish carry high mercury levels, depleted populations and high global demand have spawned farmed fish systems that create bacteria and disease, GMO proponents are trying to push "Frankenfish" unlabeled into our grocery stores. There is a lot of very bad seafood out there, and you simply must buy from a trusted fishmonger, not the teenager at your big-box store who could just as easily be working at Radio Shack.
It's not just the ingredients themselves, it's also the means by which your ingredients were acquired. When you purchase from a fair-trade organization, you're participating in a business model that promises a fair price to the farmer, promotes sustainable farming practices, and contributes to positive change in small, often rural, and underprivileged communities.
DON'T OVER-BUY Americans throw away almost half of their food every year. We're busy: we shop sporadically and buy in large quantities. But then we forget about it, we can't eat it all, or we get spooked by the expiration date and throw it out. It's fine to buy some products in bulk that can sit on the shelf for a while, like pasta or olive oil, but try to buy fresh ingredients that you plan to use in the next day or two, and in appropriate quantities. Related tip: To save time in the kitchen and avoid wasting the large quantities you may end up buying sometimes, make a big batch of food and eat leftovers throughout the week. Share with co-workers or friends if you can't finish it—people love free home-cooked food!
RECYCLE; BUY FOOD WITH LESS PACKAGING Buying food in its natural state (read: not processed) eliminates a good deal of packaging, which makes up 40% of the 1.4 billion pounds of waste we put in landfills every day. Bring your own containers or look for food in environmentally sensitive containers like recycled paper or bio-based plastic. No petroleum-based plastic and no Styrofoam. Progress on the horizon: the first zero-waste, package-free grocery store in the U.S. is about to open in Austin, Texas.
GROW YOUR OWN FOOD AND COMPOST The carbon footprint of your own fruit and vegetables couldn't be smaller than from your backyard to your kitchen table, and composting turns your discarded organic matter into valuable fertilizer and keeps it out of waste processing plants. Live in an apartment with little or no outside space? Consult my friend Amy Pennington, creator of Go Go Green Garden and author of "Apartment Gardening." Related tip: Don't dispose of excessive cooking oil or bacon fat in the sink. If you can't compost it, put it in a sealed container, like an empty milk carton (preferably not plastic), and throw it in the garbage.
NO MORE PLASTIC BAGS Keep multiple reusable
bags in the car. Seek out and reward stores with your patronage that give incentives: My local natural foods store gives me 5 cents off for every bag I bring, or I can donate it to one of four charities they work with. I even take a reusable bag with me when I go shopping at the mall. (Who needs another paper Nordstrom bag?) I also love these reusable produce bags.
ASK QUESTIONS Know your farmer, know your butcher, know your fishmonger. Ask them where their products come from and how they're treated. If they stutter, time
to find a new purveyor. I had one butcher tell me "natural" beef is the same as "organic." Buh-bye. Let them know you're paying attention to what they're selling.
Consumers have the power.
Demand the product you want.
Change the world one meal at a time.

Bachelor Pads, AllergyKids & a Recipe for the Grill
Written by Robyn O'Brien and Adam Acheson
When I learned about the efforts of a guy who was tweeting out "Bachelor Pad Info" where he was giving advice for guys who have champagne taste but live on a beer budget, I had to laugh, as he sounded just like my husband did when we first met. So when I reached out to see if he might be interested in sharing his thoughts with our readers on AllergyKids, I think I might have caught him by surprise.
But when I shared how many dads are on the frontlines when it comes to protecting the health of kids and how important it is to share the perspective from a guy's point of view, he was game.
So with that, meet my friend, Adam, who tweets under @BachelorPadInfo. He has some great thoughts and an awesome recipe, and it is an honor to share them here.
Summer time, the days are longer, school is out, and the smell of charcoal wafts through the air. It's a special time, because in every young child's life and in every father's life there comes a point where cooking secrets and grilling knowledge is passed onto the younger generation.
Spending time preparing food and teaching how to tend to the grill is one of the best ways fathers can bond with their kids. We all know its important to teach healthy eating habits at a young age, this a great way for children to learn. Kids learn about the importance of seasoning food, and how to successful to mange heat control of the grill so food isn't undercooked or burnt.
So here is a healthy and fun to grill recipe below.
Salmon steaks: Easy to grill and prepare with kids. Also very healthy and in easy way introduce children to eating fish.
- Salmon Steak (Only wild caught, never farm raised)
- Tin foil
- Pepper
- Salt
- Garlic powder
- Olive oil
- Butter
Take piece of tin foil and drip a small amount of olive oil onto it. Then place your salmon steak scales down onto the tin foil and season lightly with pepper a pinch of salt and garlic powder. Place a tsp. of butter on top (if dairy allergies aren't a concern) and wrap the salmon steak tightly in the tin foil.
Place on the gill for 10-12 minutes on medium heat.
Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Cancer, Kids and Diet
Written by Robyn O'Brien
This morning started with an email from a mother whose daughter is battling cancer.
I'd had the honor of meeting this mom last month in California. When she shared her journey about her daughter's cancer and how everything that she had recently learned had challenged not only her belief that "those packaged foods with pictures of babies and farms were possibly not safe" but also had challenged her belief system, I'd thought, "She is just like me."
So when she emailed this morning to share that "a tumor was located in our warrior princess' little body and the roller coaster has once again began," my heart ached for her, for every parent battling pediatric cancer and for those praying that their children will never get it.
Today, cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in the United States for children under the age of fifteen, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Every minute, at least one American dies from cancer, and according to the American Cancer Society, one out of every two men and one out of every three women are expected to get cancer in their lifetime.
In 2009, cancer cost the nation as much as $243.4 billion. That's close to $700 dollars per person. And over half of that, $124.8 billion, is the cost of lost productivity due to premature death. Sadly, those premature deaths are increasingly being seen in children.
When President Nixon declared a war on cancer over thirty years ago, did he expect it to look like this?
Today it is reported that expensive new drugs that are used to treat the increasing numbers of patients could drive drug spending in the United States by to increase by 34-43% by 2013, according to Pharma Times. But because of the burden that this disease is placing on our health care system, as recently highlighted in an article by two oncologists titled, "Bending the Cost Curve of Cancer" and seen in the New England Journal of Medicine, shouldn't we do a better job of exercising precaution as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Presidents Cancer Panel have recently suggested?
Recent estimates suggest that this accelerated rate of cancer diagnosis will make oncology treatments the second largest category for US drug spending by 2015, rivaled only by diabetes, according to the latest annual Drug Trend Report produced by leading pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) Medco Health Solution.
And as the mother who emailed this morning – and countless others who have reached out – can attest, this diagnosis, these oncology treatments and this drug spending is increasingly happening to our children.
As mounting scientific evidence points to the important role that nutrition can play in preventing disease (as Dr. Andrew Weil highlights with these Eight Steps for Preventing Cancer Via Diet), perhaps its time that we enlist diet on the frontlines in our "war on cancer."
In light of the comments made by oncologists in the New England Journal of Medicine and the increasing number of children with pediatric cancer, the health of our economy, our country and our children just might depend on it.

Tips for Managing Food Allergies When Your Child Starts School
Written by Daniela Baker
Food allergies bring an entire set of challenges to children and parents. When grocery shopping and going to restaurants, you're always examining labels and asking questions to ensure your child remains safe and avoids the unpleasant allergic reactions (including hives, upset stomach, or anaphylaxis).
The good news is that you aren't alone in your worries. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) estimates there are approximately 2.2 million school-age children who suffer from food allergies. Unfortunately, even though millions of children are affected by food allergies, at this time there isn't a consistent school policy regarding food allergy management. In fact, virtually every school district has its own individual program and policies regarding how to deal with food allergies in the classroom. This makes it important for you to become your child's advocate when it becomes time to return to the classroom.
While policies are inconsistent, there are actions you can take to help keep your child safe and confident at school. Here are eight tips that parents can follow when it comes to helping their child manage their food allergies during the school year.
1. Educate your child. Talk to your child about their food allergies and educate them about what types of foods they should avoid. It can be confusing for them to know what types of meals typically contain the ingredients that they are allergic to. Let them know that if they are unsure about the ingredients, it's probably best for them to skip that food.
2. Educate school staff. Prior to the beginning of the school year, arrange to meet with the school principal, teacher and nurse so they are all aware of your child's allergies.
3. Educate childcare providers. If your child receives care from someone before or after school, don't forget to talk to them about your child's allergies as well. This detail can sometimes be overlooked and can lead to potentially harmful snacks.
4. Educate the cafeteria staff. If your child will be purchasing school lunches, the AAAAI recommends meeting with the cafeteria staff and providing them with a picture of your child. This will help them identify your child so they can steer them toward smart choices when buying their lunch. Ask them to create an allergy-free alternative on the days that they are creating a meal that your child will be unable to eat.
5. Pack your own lunch and snacks. The safest route is to make your child's lunch and snacks at home. This will ensure there are no mix-ups in the lunch room. Get your child involved in the lunch and snack packing process so they are excited about the food they get to eat. This will decreases the likelihood that they try to trade food with a school friend.
6. Discuss snack policies with the teacher. Talk to your child's teacher about their classroom snack schedule. Ask them to keep an eye out for your child to help discourage them from accepting food from other kids.
7. Get a doctor's note. Many school districts restrict students from being able to carry medicine on them. Get a doctor's note from your child's pediatrician or allergist outlining the necessity for them to carry emergency medication on them at all times. This will help you get a waiver for any no-medicine policies so your child can stay safe without having to worry about getting into trouble.
8. Create a Food Allergy Action Plan. The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) has a helpful worksheet that parents can download and utilize. Your child's doctor can help you complete the plan to ensure all of the information is correct. Once complete, provide a copy to your child's teacher, the school office and the nurse. You may also want to keep a copy in your child's backpack, so it is with them on the school bus or any field trips.
Daniela Baker is a social media advocate. She is also a mother of two and hopes this post will help parents of children with food allergies.

This time I'll be sharing with you guys how I got ready for the Urban Decay event that I attended.
My outfit for the night!
Loving this simple dress that my bestie Yvonne gave me, I wore a simple Topshop top with Strip designs on the inside to add some interesting feel to the simple dress,
my Tory Burch mini bag,
and my Something Borrowed stripy heels :)
Decided to tie a mini bun on the top of my head at the very last minute just because I don't want any hair in my face

It is a way to have others check out blogs that you enjoy and to get to visit more blogs in blogland.
I am not sure if I will have others to tag but here goes............
well that is always a tough question. I am not one of those quilters who can start a project and see it until it is done and THEN start another one. I am a typical Aries, flitting from one project to another. It makes me happy and they do eventually get finished. Sometimes the idea has to stew for a bit.
Here are some of the projects I am currently working on....
The lozenge challenge....My friend JulieRose was marking squares on her blog and I had seen some here and there and thought I can do that so here it is so far.
just a lot of cutting and decision making going on. I think I will make it in cool colors of blues, greens and maybe throw in a purple now and then. the bright green in the corners I have just so much of and was thinking when it is gone, the quilt is done. we will see how it progresses.
right now it is in the cutting stage only.
I am still making little 9 patches for this relaxing robin that will be mine. I love it so far.
so much that I am starting another with more of the blue and pink dresdans
and I am going to challenge myself this time to make a row robin with it.
cant wait to play with my friends Lynne of never too hot to stitch
and maybe even Sunny of quilting Dreams. it is fun to see the same "directions" interpreted by different quilters and made into a whole that reflects their personalities.
fun fun!
this is an easy question for me. I beat to a different drummer and like to put my own spin on things. ever since I was born. In Jr High Home Ec, (remember home Ec?) the class made patch pillows. I made a quilt. yeah, thats me!
I am not one to buy a kit.......EVER....... unless I like the pattern and will use the fabric and pieces somewhere else. I don't want a quilt like someone else. I want MY quilt.
I made a quilt for my mother in law many years ago of her life and I guarantee there are no other quilts like it. I used my drawings and coloring book pages and whatever I could find to make the individual squares and it came out great. she loved it!
see? check it out! Phoebe is checking........
this is an easy one too. kind of like climbing the mountain because it is there. As a young child I was lucky enough to have a creative family. My Mom sewed and crocheted, my Gram crocheted, my Dad made many things, my Aunts knitted and painted and created so I was exposed to all of that early on and I loved it. so I am what you call a Jack of All Trades Master of None. I just keep practicing on them all and enjoy the process.
My Dad made this for my new house. no pattern. just saw one and took a few measurements. he amazes me.
this is a slate in progress. I liked this lighthouse on a card and
painted it. now have to do the landscaping on it
so we can put it outside as a welcome
my Aunt Jo loves to paint. she used to paint with Bob Ross on tv. you should see some of the
beautiful paintings she has done. very nice
so there you have it! everything you never cared to know about me LOL
I wont "tag" 3 people but if you wanted to participate, you can.
go visit the talented quilters out there
get to "meet them" thru their blogs
and make new friends!
go on......

connection with the work, since the tragedy and pain of the real event are to extreme to be truly relatable. To acknowledge humor in the Holocaust isn't discrediting the horror of the event, in fact it even enhances it in some cases. It humanizes the account even further and brings the pain more comprehendible. Three works of the Holocaust that employ humor in ranging uses and types are Life is Beautiful which use fantastical humor, Jakob the Liar in which satirical humor is used, and Night where gallows humor and distraction is present.
Life is Beautiful was directed by BLAHBLAHBLAH and has been a fore runner in Holocaust accounts blasted for disrespect and untruthful representation. But the movie is not a documentary of the Holocaust or a biography of a survivor, it is a comedy. This is what BLAHBLAHBLAH intended, "According to what I read, saw and felt in the victims' accounts, I realized that nothing in a film could even come close to the reality of what happened.

This is not to re-propose the convenient stereotype of "the good Italians even when fascist." Puncturing this idyllic image is necessary, but so is recognizing that there is some truth to the stereotype. Anti-Semitism did not enter official fascist ideology until race laws went into effect in 1938. This representation of excluding the importance of Jewish race also portrays the fact that the people in concentration camps were typical people. They were our neighbors, coworkers, friends, mothers, and fathers. They were people, a fact that the normalcy of the beginning of the movie drives home.
A more accurate example of the reality of the Holocaust is the movie Jakob the Liar ...

Thanks for sharing the graph - aren't these always the top three for marketers? At least the top two seem to be perennials. Sometimes the lean times make us hone our messages to make them more relevant, and that can help close a higher percentage of sales from a smaller volume of leads. "Laser" vs. "buckshot" so to speak.
