I didn't have a 35 week picture taken today, but my mom took this picture on Sunday (so it will have to work). And hopefully not much has changed, size wise, in 4 days.
Plus, Iam wearing the same scarf again today. I imagine the picture would have looked similar. Yes, my wardrobe is limited so this scarf gets A LOT of wear.
It's about to get too warm for scarves. Darn the luck because I have probably been wearing a scarf everyday for the last 3 months. It helps hide the belly. Sorta. Well, in my crazy pregnant mind it does.
But, really, look how much bigger that belly looks without the scarf to distract your attention?
See. You would wear a scarf too if you were me. Too bad they don't have something that makes your cheeks look LESS puffy. I'd be ALL over that if they did.
I was suppose to have my first "cevical check" this week, but because my appointments all got pushed back by a week (because I was gone for my Gma's funeral), I won't have it until next Wednesday.
I debated whether or not I shall share this story with you, but then I quickly remembered how funny it was looking back.
So. I have decided that I shall spill.
Please do not judge me for this.
I decided on Tuesday night that, since I was really curious whether I was dilated yet or not, I was going to attempt to give MYSELF a cervical check.
Yes, you read that correctly. I decided that I was going to insert my hand "up there' and see if I could determine if there was any progress. I know. Dramatic. And totally not necessary.
I must have been bored.
I am totally not a doctor. But, at the time, it seemed like a good idea.
After googling "giving yourself a cervical check" I landed HERE.
A four step process that seemed, according to the article, VERY easy. So, I told my husband I was going to "wash my face" and I quickly locked myself in the master bathroom.
I followed the instructions. I will spare you the details, but in case you are wondering, it did involve a laundry hamper (to prop one leg on) and some Astroglide.
Even after reading the explanation of what I was suppose to be feeling for, I am not sure I know that I did it right. I think I felt my cervix and I think I could at least get a fingertip in, but honestly, who knows…it could have TOTALLY not been my cervix. It's complex up in there.
About mid-way through I thought "what the h*** am I doing?"
So, it was over as fast as it began. Plus, I didn't want
anyone my husband knocking on the door and finding me with the laundry hamper and Astroglide sitting on the toilet. EMBARRASSING!
He still doesn't know this story. I'm sure he will think I am crazy once he reads this.
And let's just say…I'll start leaving the medical stuff…up to my OB.

Foreign Tech Workers Go Home?
Could Trump's executive orders on government hiring and immigration 'freeze' out cybersecurity talent and other strategic hires?
It's no secret that cybersecurity and other IT considerations within state and local government have come under attack in recent years and illustrated some pretty serious failures in the systems that we depend on daily.
While federal agencies can still hire personnel necessary for national security reasons, it's unknown how many of the more than 1,000 cybersecurity jobs in Washington won't be exempt from the freeze.
Add to this the ban on immigration and movement of green card holders – from what would seem to be randomly selected countries in the middle-east – and we might be seeing even more pressure on the tech hiring sector.

The 1st or 2nd of February is the sacred day of Brighid, the triple formed Celtic Goddess, Saint and Druidress.
Within Irish mythology, Brighid (whose name means, amongst others, "exalted one") was one of three daughters of the Dagda, the chief God of the Tuatha de Danann, all of whom were named Brighid. She was also the wife of Bres (a Fomorian) to whom she had a son named Ruadan.
Brighid was considered to be the Patroness of bards and poets, and inventor of the Ogham; Patroness of craftsmen, particularly associated with smithing and the hearth; and Patroness of healers and midwives. It was unclear from Irish mythology as to whether these functions were performed by one Goddess or shared amongst all three sisters.
Brighid's connection with Druidism is based around the concept that Druidism was the belief system of the Celts who arrived in the British Isles around 500 BCDE. Brighid herself was a "pan Celtic" deity who was worshipped by both the Goidelic and Brythonic Celts under the various names that she was known by - Bree/Brid/Bride, Briga, Briginda, Brigdu, and Brigantia.
When Christianity came to Britain, and in particular Ireland, Goddess Brighid became "Saint Brigid" as a way of converging the two beliefs (Pagan and Christianity) when the Church realised how popular and strong worship of the Goddess was amongst the people. As such, within the many myths and legends surrounding the saint, elements of Druidism can still be found, such as her father Dubthach ("dark one") often being referred to as a druid.
Aside from her name meaning "exalted one", Brighid's name is also said to mean "fiery dart" or "fiery arrow". It is this fiery aspect of Brighid, fire, that is appropriate to focus on when honouring Brighid in the Southern Hemisphere, as February is usually one of our hotter months, reflecting her inspirational, creative, healing and transforming fires.
Fire is one of the agents needed in the alchemical process that is reflected in the very landscape of this southern land as many native plants need fire in order to transform, to germinate. Therefore, from drawing inspiration from the land we reside in, the goal is to transform (or at least obtain the keys to enable us to do this) via the fires of Brighid.

conscious relationship - emotional Intelligence - Shadow Integration
Welcome friends, my name is Miles and I am a highly sensitive person who has learned over many years how to unlock the power of that gift. I believe that we are all naturally endowed with energetic, emotional and empathic intelligence far beyond what we've been socialized to accept. These capacities, when dusted off and reawakened, are our compass - they are the truth that we can live by, the core of us that contains our purpose, our light, our strength and our soul.
I help others reconnect with this brilliance in my one on one work as a facilitator, and I also write about aspects of it (from inner work to conscious dating) here on my blog.
My hope is to help you reconnect with the miracle inside of you (that is the essence of you), and hold it in a powerful, grounded way in this world. I'm very happy that you're here.
Recent posts:
Hi, my name is Miles. I write about, teach people about, and am constantly steeping myself in the process of emotional healing, the transformational power of relationship, and the extraordinary connection between our energy and our physical reality.

Yeah just received mine a few days ago. My first experience with Palm was with a Palm m100, then Palm IIIxe, then Palm Zire 72, and now a Palm Treo 600.
I jusr like the PalmOS compared to Windows CE on PocketPCs and SmartPhones. A lot just fits so much in PalmOS that sometimes will not fit even a simple Microsoft Word Document. Being a fan of the PalmOS, if ever I wanted a SmartPhone, it would be PalmOS powered and not Windows CE.
My I had before the Treo was a Nokia 6600 as my phone and Palm Zire 72 as my PDA which is fine. But they are two things and at least I can have them combined now in the Treo 600.
Problem now is the switching from my Palm Zire 72 to Palm Treo 600. My first attempt did not go on well.
After synchronizing my Zire 72 with my laptop, then installing the Treo Updates on my laptop, then synchronizing it again with my Treo, instead of transfering everything to the Treo, the Treo transferred things to the laptop too, so the calendar was deleted as well as the contacts and everything. Good thing all data was still in my Zire 72.
I uninstalled everything and is currently trying to do it again. I will Install Zire's Palm Desktop, synchorize and back up. Update to Treo's Palm Desktop, and check if data was imported. Then Synchronize again to Treo.
Hope everything works. 🙂

In pursuit of happiness
So I have social phobias, Im not a nice person, and I feel like crap. WHAT IS THE POINT OF MY EXISTANCE other than pure torture?
I wonder why Luke puts up with me sometimes.
I am definitely not happy though. Australia is not like I thought it would be, its far too similar to UK and working with all UK people and their miserableness and humour that pokes fun at people is doiing my head in. I MISS DENMARK!! I have realised I am more Danish than english.
I have cut all contact with the other man, not that anything happened but he wanted it to, and to distract myself from my sad life I may have slipped into something I didnt want to do. However now i have absolutely no distraction from the boredom and lonliness of it all.
I miss my computer. My computer is my best friend and fulfills all my needs. I need to work with computers again. Not people.
Stuck here on a visa, I dont have many job options. Oh I do just want to fly away.
My shipment is stuck in customs, My money from my flat is stuck in denmark, The rent from my flat is stuck in my old tenants pocket and I am stuck trying to change the person I am into a person not only I like but people around me like.
Fuck. This is hard.

I don't think you have a social phobia as such, just a dislike of arrogant people. You have said before that you like other people around, so I guess it's just the comments and attitudes of certain people you work with and meet, although I could be wrong (I usually am).
Having a visa doesn't mean you HAVE to stay there, you could try other jobs there or anywhere else if you really want to.
I would love to say come back to the UK and I'd help where I can but I know from what you have said previously that you don't like it here lol, neither do I if I am to be honest, I preferred Malta. At the end of the day, regardless of where you go, you need to be happy with where you are. I know it is easy to say (well it is for me) but why not go back to Denmark, it seems that from all your posts that you have been happier there than anywhere else ?
Computers - as per my last post, best things to work with, if you get annoyed with them you can smash them to pieces and get another one lol, unlike people that. Much easier to get on with, don't talk back (well, within reason)and you can replace them if you don't like them.
The "Point of your existence" is a hard one, mine is to live, screw up anything I can before I die and suffer till then, but your's is different. I'm not sure that we are here for any particular reason other than to learn and do what we can to survive. I wish that I could do something to help but apart from talking to you on here I don't know what else I can do. I am pleased that you post here and it is nice to know that you read the crap I post back so if that is a help then I am pleased.
Chin up sweetie, keep your head high and do what you feel is right for you. I hope ( with all my heart) that things start to turn around for you and get better.
Hope to catch up with you again soon

With years of proven reliability, professionalism and dedication to customer service that exceeds expectations, Jonah Mandli of Galaxy Building Services has earned a solid reputation and countless reviews and customer recommendations. Read what customers are saying.
Isaac and Reni Philip
After purchasing a lot in Southlake, TX, we patiently waited for a builder who would build a home on our fixed budget. No luck till we came across Jonah through a good friend of mine who had known Jonah.
Right off the start we let Jonah know, that we had a limited budget and wanted to build home within this price range. After reviewing our plans, Jonah suggested minor modifications and changes that would enable us to have this home built within the budget. Since we liked Jonah and learned to trust him we agreed to go along with him and signed a contract.
After that, all I saw was Jonah went to work on this home, coordinated with all the sub contractors and completed the home within the time frame we requested due to enrollment criteria of our girls in the school system.
Jonah met with us regularly and kept us informed of the developments. What surprised us most that when we sat down to select the flooring and colors for our home, Jonah mentioned to us that If we wish, he would install the additional tiles on the other floors and select different colors for my 2 girls room without any additional cost to us, even though it was not part of the contract. We accepted this generous offer. He did lot of extra work for us without charging any extra money for it. He indicated that he wanted to share the profit with us which were more than he anticipated.
We respect Jonah very much for his honesty and reliability. He treats every one like a family.
Dennis C Veit, University of Texas Arlington
It is my privilege to write this letter of recommendation for Jonah, as the President for the Homeowners Association for 2010 – 2012. We performed an extensive search for the right person to manage the re-build of our wall circling our neighborhood. Jonah was found to be a very personable man with trustworthy characteristics. He made the most professional presentation which left our committee excited about using him on the project. Our expectations were consistently met by Jonah, and exceeded in many cases. We realized the difficulty of accepting the leadership responsibilities of a rebuild project, but he did, and demonstrated the highest level of leadership job throughout the performance of the job.
I am certain that Jonah Mandli would be able to exceed expectations in any project or assignment he would take on in the future. It is my pleasure to pass on for him my highest recommendation which would be, if I had another need he would be my recommendation to complete that task as well.

Shailesh and Sandhya Parikh
We had custom home built by Oxford Fine Homes in 2002. I work in technical administration for Southwest Med Center and my wife is a school teacher at Arlington School.
Prior to contracting with Jonah Mandli of Oxford Fine Homes, we had gone through 2 builders and had lost $30,000 in the process with these builders. One builder put the foundation in the wrong location and then abandoned the project. Second one semi finished the retaining wall in incorrect part of the lot and left.
Firstly, Jonah with his extensive engineering and construction experience helped rectified the foundation problem at a minimal cost and put us at ease right away.
In building our home, Jonah worked very hard, constantly stayed in touch with us. He built our home within the time he promised despite much rainy weather. We are very happy with the interior finish out and quality of work.
Based on our experience we highly recommend Jonah and Oxford Homes for all types of custom building homes. He truly is a master at his profession, honest, reliable, trustworthy builder. His unique quality of solving problems is very impressive and his patience with dealing with people is admirable.
Siraj Mohamed and Zahara Said
We met Jonah Mandli of Oxford Fine Homes LLC through our realtor, during the second showing of the home.
Jonah went through all the details of the home in a very patient and detailed manner and took his time to answer all the questions we had. He also mentioned that this home is very energy efficient and will reduce the utility bills substantially. We and our other friends heard the same thing from the other builders so we took this with a grain of salt. Since we liked Jonah, the design of the home, quality of work, attention to details, and location we purchased the house.
We were pleasantly impressed and started believing when our utility bills started running substantially lower than our friends with similar and larger size homes.
Unlike other builders, Jonah has been very attentive to our calls and has provided service to us no matter when we called on him and ensured that the things were taken care of in a timely manner.
We consider Jonah to be one of the best knowledgeable builders, who is honest, reliable, has integrity, upon whom you can count on to build you a quality home without cutting corners. A rare find in construction business.
We highly recommend Jonah and Oxford Fine Homes for any construction jobs.
Bill and Flo Richardson
In the building of our first custom home, we have found Oxford Fine Homes to be sensitive and responsive to our wishes. Although several adjustments were made at our request during construction, Jonah Mandli was very cooperative and still completed the building in just six months, as planned, despite several weeks delayed start due to weather. After a month of occupancy, we have found the house to be of highest quality and comfort.
While maintaining high standards of construction practice, Jonah also establishes a personal relationship with his clients. He has kept in close contact, encouraged frequent visits to the site and has always been receptive to any concerns, even after closing the contract. This pleasant experience is quite different from reports we have heard on other builders and we highly recommend Jonah Mandli and Oxford Fine Homes.
Doris M. Green
This letter is to commend Jonah Mandli of Oxford Homes for the new home we recently purchased. Not only is the house beautiful to look at but it is extremely comfortable to live in. Our property backs up to a busy street and in spite of that the house is so well insulated that you can barely hear the traffic.
Jonah is extremely conscientious and a caring homebuilder. Each time we requested any change or improvement he was quick to take care of it. All of his contractors were nice and did an excellent job. All in all it was a pleasant experience buying a home from him.
Gary and Linda Sims
We believe that Oxford Fine Home is a very conscientious, caring builder. Our experience with them was a very pleasant one. Jonah was very pleasant to work with and always listened to our suggestions. We could not have asked for a better person to work with. Our house was finished long before it was scheduled to, due to the fact that Jonah was always on top of all of his crews. Building this house was a very pleasant experience.
Jonah treats his customers as if they are all family members. I highly recommend Oxford Fine Homes.
Dr. Kanti Wani
In my enginerring career for the last 30 years, I have worked with many contractors and engineers on several different projects.
After working with Jonah Mandli of Oxford Fine Homes LLC on working for my Temple building project in 2010, I developed an extra sense of awareness about him; I was personally very impressed with his professional approach towards the project and the keen interest he takes in working on a project which is second to none.
Because of limited funding on projects of this nature, Jonah was very helpful in identifying alternative ways in which the project can be completed within budget and without compromising on the quality and workmanship.
He is very knowledgeable, dedicated and well rounded professional, willing to help and met.
Richard and Kathy Burbidge
We hired Jonah Mandli and Galaxy Building Services to remodel our master bathroom (tiled shower and tub and tile flooring), and to replace tile in the front entryway and fireplace. Jonah offered to visit us and scope the job at no cost prior to providing a bid. He was very responsive and accommodating and his bid very reasonable compared to other contractors we had contacted.
The crew from Galaxy that performed the work was very professional and the quality of the tile work was exceptional. They handled some unforeseen problems efficiently and the work progressed nicely. Jonah was on site the second day to inspect the work and to assess if we were happy with the quality of the work and progress to date.
We are very happy with the results of this effort and I would definitely recommend Jonah and Galaxy to anyone needing similar remodeling work.
Don and Sue Haines
In the process of remodeling our condo, we contacted Jonah Mandli of Galaxy Building Services to bid on the complete remodel. Jonah responded promptly, professionally and submitted a very reasonably priced bid compared to other contractors.
Due to budget constraints, we decided to hire someone else who came recommended, hoping that we could save money and finish remodeling within our budget. This was a big mistake on our part. We paid him [the other contractor firm] over 90% of the money and he never finished the job, did not answer the phone calls, left us hanging and his workmanship was terrible. At this juncture, we decided to call Jonah and asked him to stop by, which he promptly did, and we explained to him what had happened.
Jonah understood our plight and immediately put us at ease and decided to help us with whatever money was left over, which was hardly any amount considering the work needed to be done. He scheduled and started the work promptly and regularly stayed in contact with us to ensure all work was being done to our satisfaction. His crew is very pleasant to work with. We know Jonah lost time and money on our job, but interestingly, he demonstrated a desire to help us out at our time of need, took charge and brought a huge piece of mind and comfort.
In closing, we can't thank Jonah enough for his help, his professionalism and his desire to step up to the plate at a time of need. We recommend Jonah and his company, Galaxy, to anyone seeking an honest, dependable and professional contractor.

Le Corbusier Color Workshop with drikolor founder Rachel Lacy
A Color Workshop
SF Design Center, #355 101 Henry Adams Street, San Francisco
Mon. June 19th 4:30pm -6:00pm
Event Tickets & Info: $50 tickets; Ticket includes a custom Le Corbusier color book and all class materials. Refreshments will be served.
Drikolor, the exclusive producer of Le Corbusier's Polychromie Architectural, is offering a color workshop using authentic Le Corbusier paint pigments. Le Corbusier took responsibility for the color scheme of his buildings; believing that "Polychromy is an architectural technique as powerful as the plan and section. Better than that: polychromy is itself an element of the plan and the section."
Drikolor make colors like an artist, layering pigments to reflect light, using chalk from the Champagne region in France, ultramarine blues and pinks, umber from Cyprus, ochres from France, and bone black from North America. Refreshments and discussion after the workshop.
Casa Castiglioni
An international exhibit at The Hub, from Milan, Italy.
Brought to SF Design Week by The Istituto Italiano di Cultura of San Francisco and the Italian Consulate General San Francisco, and SF Design Week, sponsored by CoorItalia.
The Hub at Pier 27 – June 14 & 15, 2017.
Casa Castiglioni explores the work of Achille Castiglioni through the use of objects he designed over the course of 50 years. Conceived by the Castiglioni Foundation for the Abitami exhibition in Milan in 2011, and subsequently restaged in Rome, the show debuts in the US with the aim of recreating a living space where the creations of the Castiglioni brothers are available to the public. A performance by Giovanna Castiglioni (Achille's daughter and president of the Castiglioni Foundation), will highlight scenes of daily life, interacting with objects and visitors and creating a narrative of how industrial objects made design history.

I didn't have any desire to write about the Edwards thing, but, I suppose, this isn't just about what I want.
In that post on Punkass, Lisa takes issue with Rielle Hunter's sister trying to "defend her honor" against a flurry of vicious attacks.
Lisa does not come to her rescue,
Excuse me. What honor? This woman had a blatant affair with a married man, whom she obviously knew was married, for at least a year. She's a "good and honest" person? What on earth is your definition of good or honest?
Which is, I think, a rather severe character judgment to make when you know exactly one thing about a woman, and it's presumably the worst thing she's ever done.

I am a huge, HUGE Gordon Ramsay fan so it was such bliss for me to get to see My Hero in person, and to be part of the taping was fun - even if it's hard to carry on a normal meal and conversation with a boom mike and cameras in your face. It will air in the fall with the new season, I'll keep everyone informed of when, so you can ooooh and aaaah at my 2 minutes of fame.

Throughout the year, we host multiple community service events of all sizes for our brotherhood to partake in to support our community. These events can range from writing letters to U.S. Service Members to volunteering at the Syracuse Samaritan Center. We also host a blood drive once each semester to support the American Red Cross. In the 2015-16 school year, we got 125 donations in just two days!
In addition to these, our chapter hosts one large event each semester. In the Fall, we host the 'Cuse vs. Cancer 5k run/walk to raise money for the Dr. William J. Water's Cancer Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital. In 2015, we were able to raise nearly $3,000 with just 200 donors. In the Spring, we host our Spike for the Stars Volleyball Tournament to benefit Make-A-Wish. In 2015, we raised over $2,000 for the Central New York division of Make-A-Wish.

I woke up this morning with the desire to make a labyrinth in the snow. Not sure where it came from, but there it was. And so, after breakfast, and after stuffing Little R into her snow suit, we headed out to make one. I printed off a design to follow, which was helpful since most of the labyrinths I found marked out the walls, and when you are walking in the snow it is better to follow something that traces out the path to avoid confusion. Mine is a little wobbly but not too bad for a first attempt. Next time I will make the paths a little further apart, and maybe wide enough for a shovel.
As I looked for some designs online, I read what other people have written about walking labyrinths and something that kind of stuck with me was the idea of "walking with intention". The phrase seems to conjure up images of a straight line to your destination, but in association with a windy labyrinth "intention" suddenly means something else entirely. I need to walk a few more labyrinths before I feel qualified to wax lyrical about them, but I feel intrigued.
Making the labyrinth this morning was one of those rare occasions when a whim strikes me and I fairly immediately carry it out. Doesn't happen a lot, but it's a nice way to start the New Year.
Happy New Year, lovely people. Head out into that fresh snow and walk with intention.

Even when summer refuses to let go of its grip and allow fall to bring in its cooler temperatures and changing leaves, there are still a few signs of the season Boiseans can look forward to.
Among them is the plethora of scarecrows that show up at the Idaho Botanical Garden in October, like a horde of slightly creepy, slightly whimsical sentries standing guard over the garden.
This year, more than 30 scarecrows designed by schools, businesses and individuals from around the community will go on display beginning Monday, Oct. 1, and running through Halloween.
This is the fifth year IBG has hosted the event, which encourages the public to stroll along garden paths to check out the scarecrows. This year, the theme for the event is Figures from History, so, no, you won't be imaging things if you think a scarecrow looks strangely like Queen Elizabeth or Rosa Parks.
Scarecrows will be judged by both a panel of judges and the public, and awards will be handed out in November. The public can cast its votes throughout October when visiting the garden.

UAE and France jointly organised second UAE-France Oil and Gas Symposium in Abu Dhabi to explore opportunities in Oil and Gas industry and in energy sector
A part of UAE's vision 2021 agenda, the symposium was aimed to organise workshops to enable local companies find innovative solutions through French technology within the new and contemporary energy context.
EVOLEN, the French association of companies related to the Oil and Gas industry and Energy Futures, and Business France organised meetings between French companies and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) group under the patronage of HE Michel Miraillet, ambassador of France to the UAE.
In the meeting, French companies showcased their innovative and technical solutions designed to meet and anticipate the demands of a fast-changing sector.
French experts in the industry gave presentations on a wide range of topics including energy efficiency, operating facilities, digital innovations and smart infrastructures, energy storage, refining and petrochemical, water management and waste treatment, control systems, revamping etc.
HE Michel Miraillet said, "The Strategic Dialogue Committee initiated in 2013 between our 2 countries was determined to move forward towards this objective. Traditionally, large contracts represent the core of our exports with an industry driven by international leaders such as Total, Veolia. However French SME's are more and more active in the UAE, either on their own or acting as subcontractors to large companies."
The French Industry has a long tradition covering the entire spectrum of Oil and Gas activities all over the world in terms of research and development, innovation, technology, geosciences, equipment, projects and services.
UAE is the second largest trade partner of France in the gulf region, after KSA, with bilateral trade reaching US$5bn recently. In 2016, the federation remain France's main export market in the gulf region with US$3.8bn.

Personal finances can be a tough task to manage for a lot of people and especially a young adult. The interesting aspect about managing money is that everyone has their own method and everyone has their own situation. Some people may not have to worry about money and others may have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet. Ultimately, at some point in someones life, they'll take part in managing some sort of finances.
So, I thought I would share with everyone my method. & it is super simple.
First thing is first: Add up your bills for the month and divide by the number of times you'll get an income (paycheck). Work towards that goal and do NOT touch it (until the bill needs to be paid) & any thing extra, simply put aside for the next step. I will also include spending money for birthdays or an upcoming vacation in the 'bills' category.
The equation:
$350 (bills) / 2 (pay days) = $175
Second: I basically give myself a day-to-day allowance. Based off of the money I currently have and divide by the amount number of days it takes until I get some sort of income (paycheck) and that gives me the spending per day allowance. What I love about this, some days I wont need to buy anything and some days I may need an item or two. If I don't spend money for a day or two then I get a little bit more of an allowance for the next couple of days.
*Side note: I also make logical decisions on my purchases. Anyone who knows me can contest to the fact that I love fashion. I am the type of person to want a new outfit each holiday and occasion.
Some advice to share, you can't take it with you when your gone.
I make compromises here and there.
The equation:
$200($) / 6 (days) = $33.3 (allowance)
Hope this helps someone out!
Until next time,
Jenn L.

When it comes to scrapbooking, few things do more to keep the creative juices flowing than sharing our creations with others. After all, the reason most of us spend the time we do to create all of these pages and albums is to make sure our stories and experiences find an audience and a memory outside ourselves.
And one of the easiest and most fulfilling ways we share is by posting our layouts in our favorite online galleries.
Few things make me want to scrapbook more than the thought of sharing my layouts in the gallery. There's just something about seeing that nice big image displayed alongside everyone else's pages that makes me smile. And fueling that fire are the nice comments left by other scrapbookers in the hours and days that follow, validating me as a scrapbooker and helping me to feel that I have been seen, heard and maybe even understood.
As first a scrapbooker, and now also as the owner of an online scrapbook-related business, I have noticed there is an often unwritten etiquette to being a welcomed and valued member of the online scrapbooking community, particularly when it comes to site galleries. But I've also noticed that it sometimes takes a while before newcomers catch on to these commonly accepted and expected standards of gallery behavior.
So today I thought I'd take a few minutes to share what I've learned in hopes of helping fellow scrapbookers make the most of what the gallery experience has to offer.
When it comes to playing nice in our favorite online galleries, just think about the advice our mothers gave us …
1. Play by the rules. Every gallery has its own set of rules which you generally have to agree to in order to become a registered user with uploading and commenting privileges. The rules typically spell out what can and cannot be included in your image descriptions (such as whether you are allowed to link to outside stores and Web sites), file size requirements, daily upload limits, and whether you are allowed to post layouts created with products purchased outside that specific site's store. Follow the rules out of respect for all of your fellow scrapbookers, as well as to avoid annoying the site administrator.
2. Give credit where credit is due. Product designers deserve to be acknowledged when you post a layout that includes their items, including templates as well as all papers, elements, alphas, fonts, etc.The same holds true when you "lift" the design of another scrapbooker or when your page is inspired by a particular book, Web challenge or other source. By providing such information you are not only showing your support and respect for these designers and authors, you are helping your fellow scrapbookers find new sources of inspiration and resources.
3. Do unto others… If you like to receive nice comments on the layouts you post (and who doesn't?), then take a little time to return the favor in the galleries you frequent. It doesn't take long for fellow scrapbookers to recognize "hit-and-run" posting, which nearly always means the layout is there just to sell a product or that the person is much more interested in receiving than in giving, neither of which will earn you much love from your fellow scrapbookers. This is especially true for galleries supported by specific stores, as opposed to the open galleries that are not connected with any one particular retailer.
4. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Most scrapbookers practice this art because they enjoy it, not because they're looking to have their pages picked apart. Unless someone specifically asks for constructive criticism, it's best to leave only positive, encouraging comments in the gallery. Even if they do suggest they are open to critiques, it's wise to think twice before saying too much … and then only through a private message. The same holds true for typos and other little mistakes. No one likes to have their weaknesses pointed out in public.
5. Quality over quantity. When it comes to gallery comments, more is not necessarily better. If you're going to take the time to leave a comment, say something that shows you actually looked at the layout and found something to appreciate. A handful of sincere messages is much more meaningful to the page artist than a big, long list of comments that look exactly the same as those on every other page in the gallery.
6. Do a little more than is expected. While you certainly are not required to include the text of your journaling in your layout description, it sure does make it easier for your friends to really appreciate and enjoy your page if you do. This is particularly true if your journaling is lengthy or in a size that is difficult to read on a computer monitor.
7. No trespassing. If you are posting a page in a gallery owned by a site that sells scrapbooking products, it is generally a good idea to limit your posting to pages that are created mostly, if not entirely, with products purchased from that site. Some sites require this, but this is a good rule of thumb even for those sites that do not. The exception is a gallery that is truly an "open" gallery, in which case this will usually be made known in the site's policies. Remember, it is often product sales that make it possible for a site's gallery to exist. It's poor form to make a habit of posting pages using products sold by that site's competitors unless such a practice is specifically allowed on that site.
8. Say thank you. One of the best ways to show your support and appreciation for your favorite product designers is to share the pages you create using their products in the galleries where they reside. This is particularly true if you happened to obtain those products through a freebie post or giveaway on a site outside the designer's regular venue … let those designers know you appreciate their generosity by letting others see their products in action. A nice little thank you note never hurts, either. 😉

Romney's Trickle Down Economics Plan Is Bound To Fail
As the Presidential election draws ever closer, talk concerning how to deal with the economy has intensified. Last week's 2nd Presidential Debate gave voters the clearest distinction yet between President Obama's pragmatic plan for economic growth and GOP candidate Mitt Romney's preposterous 'vision' embracing Reagan's failed trickle down economics.

President Obama Needs To Quiz Romney on the Economy
During recent months, much has been said about President Obama's economic policies. The GOP have relentlessly claimed his 'reckless' spending spree is making matters worse.

With less than a month before election day Romney still hasn't given us any concrete plans on how he plans to remedy this situation.… [Read more]

Romney Accuses Obama of Taking Orders From Union Bosses

Falling Down on the JobDear readers, lest you think I have abandoned this blog, let me reassure you that I have not. I have just not been eating well or interestingly lately. Most nights we're too tired to put in the effort to even boil potatoes, not to mention that I've got about 83 cents in my bank account at the end of the month, so lately we've been eating things like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese with bacon in it, or a Boboli pizza crust with pesto and spinach and olives salvaged from the back of the fridge. Sad but true. I told Andy that once I get paid, I am going on a week-long sushi Cleanse. All fish, rice, and vegetables, all the time.
It is only slightly heartening to me that no one else has posted in a while, either. All my regular food blog links have been dormant for a week or more. Are we all just getting through these last few days of winter on the stale dregs of our larders, preparing to emerge with endless dishes of beets and leeks and asparagus and rhubarb when the temperature finally hits 60?

News round-up: New Lexus RC-F and Seat upgrade packs available
* New Lexus RC-F available to order now * Seat launches i-Tech special editions * Seat also offers Leon Cupra 280 upgrades...
The Lexus RC-F sports car is available to order now, with prices starting from £59,995. First UK deliveries are expected in January 2015.
The RC-F, which was unveiled at the Detroit motor show in January, and appeared at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this summer, is set to compete with the likes of the new BMW M4.
Using technology taken from the LFA hypercar, the RC-F will be available in two guises in the UK - the RC-F and the more expensive RC-F Carbon, priced at £67,995.
Both versions are powered by the same 5.0-litre V8 engine, described as the most powerful production unit of its type that Lexus has ever built; it develops 450bhp and 384lb ft of pulling power. The engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Seat has launched a special-edition package called i-Tech, which will be available on its Mii, Ibiza, Toledo, Altea and Alhambra model ranges.
The exact package varies from model to model, but all i-Tech editions will feature titanium-finish alloy wheels as well as i-Tech badging and detailing throughout.
Seat says the pack will save buyers up to £480 on equipment upgrades, compared to purchasing the equivalent items individually.
Specific items vary according to the model, but include features such as front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, Hill Hold Control, Bluetooth, DAB radio and satellite-navigation.
Leon Cupra 280
Seat has also confirmed prices for a series of new upgrades that are available to order on its Leon Cupra 280.
The SUB8 Performance Pack costs £2025 and brings upgraded brakes with larger discs and Brembo four-piston callipers, plus specially designed 19-inch alloy wheels finished in either black or orange. For a further £460 Seat will fit Michelin semi-slick tyres.
Also on offer is a Cupra Black-Line or White-Line package, at a cost of £500. Upgrades are black- or white-painted 19-inch Cupra alloy wheels, door mirror casings, rear Cupra badges and front grille surround. Whichever colour you choose, you will also get black rear side spoilers. On the same theme, an Orange-Line option will be available to order from December.
Finally, for an extra £1250, Seat will fit one-piece Cupra bucket seats, trimmed in black Alcantara with white accents and Cupra logos. The price also includes a winter package that adds heated front seats, headlight washers and heated front washer nozzles.

Randy's Wisdom
Have ever read The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch? When the book came out in 2008, Randy Pausch was dying of cancer. Instead of surrendering to his impending mortality, Randy – a renowned Computer Science Professor, started writing his last lecture. According to the book, alot of "professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them." They typically lectured as if it was to be their last chance to share. Randy, chose instead to use what really was his last lecture to share what he learned in his childhood. Randy's heartwarming story was shared in the media via talk shows, news programs, print and Utube. I enjoyed his lecture on Utube. On one of my trips I picked up his book at the airport. Like many of the books on my book shelf – it sat unread – until recently. An acquaintance mentioned being expired by Randy's story. A couple of days later – on one of my sleepless nights, I decided to read. I reached blindly into my book shelf and to my amazement – the book I pulled out was The Last Lecture. I took that as a sign – I read the book.
Having been an Adult Educator, I enjoyed the imaginative way he dealt with students. I was in awe of how he made the dreams of others and himself come to fruition. By far, though the best part of the book (even if it's all you read) is Section V – It's About How to Live Your Life. In this Section, he shares the impressive wisdom gleaned from his upbringing. I have shared the sections headings that reflect some of my favorites. For the complete list, check the quotes page for Randy's List.
Here are the webpages for more info on the book, and the video of his lecture. http://www.cmu.edu/randyslectures
FYI – some of these will only make sense if you read about them in the book or watch the lecture.)
Dream Big
Earnest is Better than Hip
Let's Make a Deal
Don't Complain Just Work Harder
Treat the Disease, Not the Symptom
Don't Obsess Over What People Think
Start by Sitting Together
Look for the Best in Everybody
Watch What They Do, Not What They Say
If at First You Don't Succeed
Show Gratitude
Send out the Thin Mints
A Bad Apology Is Worse Than No Apology
Tell the Truth
Get in Touch with Your Crayon Box
No job is Beneath You
Know Where you Are
Never Give Up
Have you read The Last Lecture?
Which of these inspire the most?

Julie: Yes. I met him at a friend's Christmas party. He asked me out there and then that evening. We went for dinner and to the cinema the following Saturday.
Andrea: Are things still going okay?
Julie: Erm.... well, to tell you the truth, the wheels are starting to come off. We still see each other two or three times a week, but I don't know… we are arguing quite a lot, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth carrying on.
Andrea: I'm sorry to hear that. When you introduced us all to him at the office dinner, I thought he was a really nice guy. He seemed to get on with everyone. Including the boss's wife ….. and that's no mean feat!!!
Julie: I know … everyone in my family thinks Paul's great. But when we're alone, we disagree over the smallest thing, and Paul always has to get his own way. We can't agree over which restaurant to go to dinner; we can't agree on what movie to see at the cinema. When I want to do one thing, Paul wants to do the opposite. It's as if he takes pleasure in disagreeing with me.
Andrea: Oh, that's not good. What are you going to do about it? Have you told him how you feel? The best way to work out this sort of situation is always to communicate!
Conversation two
Emma: How are your plans going for the working holiday you were setting up the last time I saw you? Where have you decided to go? Australia or England?
Zak: Ugh! the working holiday! Don't talk to me about that!
Emma: Why? What's happened? You had everything almost set up the last time I spoke to you.
Zak: Well, I'm sorry to say that the wheels have come off that plan. Things have not worked out as I'd hoped.
Emma: What's happened?
Zak: You know I was going with Alan, a colleague. We've both been working for a couple of years and thought it would be a good idea to take a break. We'd got jobs lined up in London. Alan was going to work in a coffee shop and I'd got a place in a men's clothes shop right in the middle of London. We found both jobs online.
Emma: Great!
Zak: Yeah, so far, so good. We had no problems getting the two-year working holiday visa. It looked as if we were all ready to go. London's an expensive city, and we'd started to look around for a place to rent. We were going to share to cut down on accommodation costs.
Emma: Good idea.
Zak: It was at that point that Alan dropped the bombshell and the wheels came off our plans. I knew that he had a girlfriend, but I didn't think it was anything serious. But suddenly, Alan announced that he couldn't go to London. He was going to get married instead!
Emma: What? He just told you that out of the blue?
Zak: Yes. No warning. Nothing. We'd been planning this thing for six months, and boom, everything's up.
Emma: Can't you go on your own now the situation's changed?
Zak: I thought about that, but money that's the problem. I don't want to spend everything I earn on accommodation. But all is not lost! I've put an ad online to see if I can find anyone else going to London on a working holiday and who would be interested in sharing a room. Fingers crossed!

Ahhh, summer! The time of year to relax and …READ! This is the time of year I love to curl up with a book. I love to read by the pool, in my favorite reading chair, outside under the umbrella on my patio, or anywhere! It is wonderful to get lost in a book during the summer. I am lucky to be a part of a Book Club with several great friends who love to read as much as I do. We meet up once a month, trying out different restaurants and different experiences ( Canvas and Cocktails, the Upstairs Circus, Water to Wine, book signings, playing BINGO), and oh yeah, we talk about the book we've read… unless someone hasn't finished it yet! Then we can only talk about the beginning, but not the ending. The best part is when everyone makes recommendations about other books to read. So with those friends in mind,
Here are 5 top picks for my personal reading this summer.
1. Two by Two by Nicholas Sparks . Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorite authors because he has a way with telling unique love stories. This story is about the unconditional love of a father and daughter and how it grows over time. It is also about family and supporting one another. This was a great read!
2. Into the Water by Paula Hawkins. She is the author of Girl on the Train, so I wanted to read her next book. a single mother turns up dead in a river that runs through the town and leaves behind not only her teenage daughter, but a host of secrets as well. Can't wait to "dive" into this one!
3. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Goodreads says "Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read." And it will be a miniseries on Hulu soon. This makes me think of all of the rights we have in our society today that are not offered in all cultures around the world. Imagine her courage and bravery during this time!
4. The Identicals by Elin Hildebrand. Goodreads says, "Just because twins look exactly the same doesn't mean they're anything alike–and Tabitha and Harper Frost have spent their whole lives trying to prove this point." I love books by Elin Hildbrand because they bring me back to the beach, and remind me of carefree summertimes when I was younger. I'm looking forward to this beach read!
5. One Perfect Lie by Lisa Scottoline .good reads says, "On paper, Chris Brennan looks perfect. He's applying for a job as a high school government teacher, he's ready to step in as an assistant baseball coach, and his references are impeccable.But everything about Chris Brennan is a lie." You know there's obviously a twist. Scottoline is a great author who keep you in suspense when you read, so this is definitely on my list.
I am also on a mission to read some professional books to inspire me as I prepare to return to a new school next year. I recently spent some time with fellow educators at two conferences, as well as other professional learning opportunities and have been reminded to be creative, embrace the chaos, and inspire others on their journey. Here are some of the books I will be reading to help me on my journey.
1. LAUNCH by John Spencer and AJ Juliani. This is at the top of my list as a reread. I am in a course called The Innovative Teaching Academy led by AJ Juliani, who is the co-author of this book. I am doing a book study with the group and will be leading one during the school year as well. I love this design thinking model for first graders! It explains the creative process in easy terms, and can be used in any subject in the classroom. I am excited to be in book clubs reading this!
This youtube video explains it well ( narrated by John Spencer)
2. What Happens When Students Own their Learning ;EMPOWER. by John Spencer and Aj Juliani. This is hot off the presses. Only came out last week! Since I met AJ Juliani in person this month, I am now a total fangirl! (I look forward to meeting John Spencer at sone point, too) This book! It is all about preparing our kids for ANYTHING! I am reading it now and LOVE it! This should be the next book club read! It's all about inspiring your students to own their learning.
You can follow them at @ajjuliani and @spencerideas
3. Learning that Lasts by Ron Berger. My school is moving toward an EL model, which is a framework for challenging, engaging, and empowering students with deeper learning. I love how EL and design thinking dovetail. I am excited about learning how to go deeper with my students since this has been something I want to focus on this year. Ron Berger is another fabulous speaker who focused on quality work and refining our thinking.
4. The Creativity Challenge: Design, Experiment, Test, Innovate, Build, Create, Inspire, and Unleash your Genius by Tanner Christensen. Goodread says, "What's the best way to become more creative? Just change how you think! This book challenges you to go against your default ways of thinking in order to write, design, and build something extraordinary. Featuring more than 100 challenges, exercises, and prompts." This was recommended by Mr Jed Dearbury, who always says "LOVE FIRST< TEACH SECOND." I met him at ThinkSpace last week and he reminded us to unleash our creative self.
You can follow him @mrdearbury1
5. The Innovator's Mindset by George Couros. This is the book that started an innovator's revolution for me! Listening to him speak and encourage people to think beyond the box really helped me to shift my thinking. Allowing for students to focus on their natural curiosity has helped me to shift from the "all knowing teacher" to more of a "guide alongside". Very motivational and inspiring!
You can follow him @gcouros
I hope you can find something on my list that inspires you! Now, I'm going to curl up with a book!

Tuesday Morning News
Inconsistencies in battery life testing has resulted in Consumer Reports failing to recommend the new MacBook Pros. Consumer Reports tested the new MacBook Pros with Touch ID, with battery life that varied dramatically from one test to another.
Apple SVP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller said Apple was working with Consumer Reports to understand their testing methodology, as Consumer Reports' results did not match with Apple's own internal testing or data from the field. To their credit, Consumer Reports said battery life consistency was able to be fixed via software, and that they would perform additional testing after Apple released such a fix.
A message posted by Apple CEO Tim Cook to an internal Apple message board reiterates his position that Apple are very committed to the Mac and that "great desktops are coming". The desktop has unique advantages over portable machines, and Cook writes that the far better performance, screen sizes, memory, storage, and more I/O variety as one of the main reasons people consider desktop Macs as really important or critical.
It's claimed an upcoming version of iOS 10.3 will include a new "theatre" mode, and what's being described as a "popcorn-shaped" Control Center icon, the latter of which seems like a pretty minor change. Rumour has it that the first seed of this new version of iOS will be coming out on January 10th.
Apple has extended the USB-C adapter price drops until at least the end of March. USB-C to Lightning cables, as well as USB-C to USB adapters and Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapters have all been reduced in price as part of the promo.
A new years activity challenge for Apple Watch users lets you earn a special achievement for closing all three Activity Rings in any full week in January. Even if you don't earn the achievement for the first week, you'll still have another three chances, and Apple says you will also get access to a special iMessage stickers for completing the challenge.
A review of AutoSleep from MacStories say there's more to this automatic sleep-tracking app for the Apple Watch that first meets the eye. AutoSleep hides a lot of detail in its interface, which can help give you insight into your sleep patterns.
It might not be as well-known these days with the demise of optical media, but HandBrake is still a versatile video conversion tool. The app hit version 1.0 over the break, which now includes better default presents and improvement documentation.
Ben Brook's evolving iPad desktop usage tells us about his year of using the iPad Pro as his desktop computer. The iPad Pro with stand and external keyboard is just as portable as any laptop, and just like a laptop, the battery usually gets pretty low by the end of the day. But the usual concerns people have with using an iPad for day-to-day productivity all have some kind of workaround.
I've been refreshing iStockNow for a chance at some AirPods, but website Is In Stock will send me an email once AirPods arrive in an Apple retail store of my choosing, which seems like a much better idea.

CMBT's Naturopathic Doctor Suggests Nanny Meal: Low-Allergenic, Nutritious Goat's Milk for Kids
by Donna Acree, N.D.
I grew up in the 70's, pre-computer days. Also, the days of milk and bread. At the age of 12, I started having stomach pains and bloating. Mornings were always better, but at night, I often had what appeared to be a 'pregnant belly'. My gut would swell and then pain and discomfort ensued. My concerned mother scheduled appointments with three gastroenterologists. Conventional tests revealed a perfectly healthy gastrointestinal system, so I lightly walked away with my air filled, swollen belly.
I started medical school in my late 20's and learned more about common food sensitivities and health. I took numerous classes in Nutritional Biochemistry and this is where my love for learning about food and health ignited. Among other things, we were taught about goat milk based "Loffler-Wright" home-made infant formula, and the reasons that goat milk was the milk of choice for mothers who could not breast feed: goat milk is the most commonly consumed milk in the world and is most like human breast milk. It is naturally homogenized, contains smaller fat particles, less lactose, and 89% less alpha casein than cow milk. Alpha Casein is a common food allergen in cow milk. But the formula was complicated, and I rarely recommended it as a doctor.
As a naturopathic doctor in my 30's and now 40's, I was at a loss for what to recommend to new mothers as an alternative infant formula. Over the years, I have seen many people with food sensitivities of all ages, and the benefits after they removed the offending foods. I often test for food sensitivities to avoid the guesswork and time that elimination diets take. So, after speaking candidly to a quality control nurse at a well-known lab in the fall of 2013 regarding an unhealthy infant formula produced there, I decided to look into creating one on my own.
Creating an infant formula is expensive and legally complex, so I opted to start with a goat milk toddler formula for ages 1 year and older. My family decided that the name, "Nanny Meal" was fitting.
Nanny Meal contains organic grass fed, goat milk protein, goat whey, and goat cream. These ingredients are dried using a unique process called Window Refractance Drying. It is a low temperature drying method to retain nutritional integrity and is only used by a handful of company's worldwide. The Window Refractance machine uses conduction, convection, and infrared heat, which applies minimal and variable heat sources to dry the product and preserve its original integrity, keeping it as close to nature as possible. This unique drying process allows the powerful probiotics and digestive enzymes of the goat milk to thrive from the lacto-fermentation or "pre-digestion" process.
All the organic goat milk products in Nanny Meal are from healthy grass fed, free range goats that graze on pesticide and chemical free pastures 365 days of the year. The goat milk products in Nanny Meal do not contain gluten.
My vision was not only to make an easy-to-digest, low allergic drink, but also a complete, nutrient rich "meal". I wanted to create a powerhouse of digestible nutrients in one glass, so I decided to custom compound a specific recipe of added nutrients to complement the goat milk ingredients, including Folate, Vitamins C, D, E, and select B Vitamins. Nutrients for the rapidly developing child's brain and neurological system Brain health were also added, such as Phosphatidylcholine, Phosphatidylserine, Carnitine, and Inositol.
Nanny Meal contains no common food allergens, GMO ingredients, artificial sweeteners, food colors, preservatives, petrochemicals, and NO added sugar.
Another unique feature of Nanny Meal is the packaging. Nanny Meal uses a container made from plant and earth based materials and is 100% natural and compostable resources, created by Earth Bottles. Nanny Meal is honored to be Earth Bottles' first customer. Unlike other plastic containers, Earth Bottle does NOT contain petroleum based ingredients, and is reusable and sustainable.
This is how Nanny Meal began: out of a need and an honest desire to be able to recommend a product that tastes delicious, digests easily, and easy enough for kids to make the recipes themselves.
Health conscious and busy parents are looking for smart and low allergenic, nutritious drinks for their kids. Let Nanny Meal get your goat!

Thierry Van Den Bosch and TM World Champions !!
After many years of commitment and investment arrive the first world title for TM RACING in Supermoto.
A present was made from him: the great Thierry Van Den Bosch.
Frenchman, 35 years old, known around the world under the name of VDB, won his fourth world title in the specialty and deliveries to TM RACING hands the touched upon world title for two consecutive years.
Thierry Van Den Bosch is the rider of records, a living legend, one that has won more than anyone else and that is unlikely to be equalled.
In 2010 reaches an agreement with the TM RACING 747 Motorsport Team, managed by Simone Girolami, only the week before the start of the International of Italy. He won on his debut in the World Grand Prix in Viterbo Italy, taking the red plate leadership, keeping it until the end in Spain where it was replaced by the Golden plate of the World Champion.
He fractured his right collarbone the week before the GP of Greece and undergoes a delicate surgery.
All we thought that the race to the world title was over, everyone but not him!
A few days after the operation he leaves for Greece to be in the track and defend his position. He Suffered a lot, the pain was very strong, but VDB grits his teeth and marks important points. This allowed him to go to Spain for the last GP with a little margin of advantage that enables him to better manage the situation and to win his fourth world title.
Spanish Grand Prix was won by French Thomas Chareyre in front of Ivan Lazzarini and Eddy Seel while Van Den Bosch finished two times in fifths places that was enough to win the Golden plate of World Champion and apply it on his factory TM SMX 450F fuel injection.
VDB said at the end of the race: "... .. I am very happy for this world title because it was been the most difficult for me. I dedicate it to TM and 747 Motorsport team because they believed in me even to include me in the team at the last minute when budgets were already closed. My bike and my technicians have always worked hard to give me everything I needed and for this I thank them a lot. After the collar bone injured I have suffered a lot and I arrived at the end of this GP really exhausted. Now I just want to rest a while enjoying this world title in peace with my wife and my son, then I will think about the future ... .... ".
Even Simone Girolami, Team Manager of Team 747 Motosport, comments the title won: "... ... It was hard but finally we did it! Throughout the weekend we worked hard to give to Thierry everything he needed. Nevertheless he had problems with adherence to which is added to the front brake problems that overheats. When Thierry has overcome the checkered flag all the tensions melted and happiness for the world title immediately let us forget all the problems .... ".
Davide Gozzini in the S2 class won with great advantage in race 1 but in race 2 he was forced to stop because of a flat front tire while he was struggling with Delepine to win the race and the GP.
Even in this class Andrea Occhini finished fifth in both heats.
Stop for Alex Serafini because of a knee problems who didn't allow him to take part to the Spanish GP.
