... but why do i kind of doubt it?
i didn't mind so much having to rename all of the folders *again* but i felt like i was slashing the Mona Lisa as i was doing it. i put so much brain power into how i had labelled everything and all the names were so neatly grouped and i was so proud.
Turns out i kind of overbrained it. It was simple to me because it was my creation. It wasn't ME who had to memorize that O was for outfits and G was for silks. Mistress was right that it was kind of silly but i still had a softness in my heart for my pretty folder. Part of me died with it.
*sniffs sadly*
So the new folder is hopefully as Mistress likes it. To me is less descriptive but it is Mistress' folder in my inventory and so it must be put just how She likes it, like it or not.

Love My Art Jewelry just finished up its latest Boot Camp and it was all about a nemesis common to many jewelry designers…Asymmetry.
I've said before that I'm so drawn to pieces of jewelry with this attribute, but personally struggle with it in my own designs. Maybe it's a right brain, left brain thing…how you're wired to look at the world or a gift in manipulating the things around you in an off-kilter, but oh, so pleasing manner.
I don't know.
There is one trick to achieving an asymmetrical look that someone shared with me early in my jewelry making adventures. It's kind of faux asymmetry, if you will. A baby step…
Get out 4 or 5 different kinds of beads, put them separate numbered groups. Beads #1, Beads #2 , Beads #3, etc…
Then with a paper and pencil, make up a random sequence using those numbers.
Say I have 5 groups of beads, here's a possible sequence…
2 2 1 2 4 3 1 2 5
Then arrange the beads in that order…repeat the order until you have a bracelet or a necklace. So it's kind of like creating with repeated asymmetrical groups, I think. Maybe not true asymmetry, but playing with beads this way really got me thinking outside my tendency to create with rigid patterns and symmetry. In this necklace, I repeated the pattern 4 times (minus one bead at the end of the line that I lost!)
**Can you figure out which bead is missing?
To my eye, this necklace has an asymmetrical effect with a pleasing balance of weight, color, and textures just by repetition of a random ordered grouping of beads.
Here's a few pieces from my work in the LMAJ Boot Camp…
Poly clay flower connector and copper button by me
I really struggled with these earrings…found it much more difficult to get something pleasing in such a small space and with so few beady options.
In the end, I really like them!
This last necklace was my final project in my metals class this session. The pendant was hand cut from copper sheet and embossed. I bezel set three stones. Some issues getting the stones tucked in because I wanted them so close together, but I persevered.

So this season can leave you feeling every bit of lonely and left out.
With the busyness of the holidays, we run from one thing to the next never really feeling like we connect. Even with a calendar full of holiday parties, it's easy to sit in the back of the room and watch as everyone talks, laughs, and enjoys the holidays. Then you go home, take a deep breath, and gather yourself to do it all again.
Just me?
Didn't think so...
In the crazy busy of the season and the crazy broken of our lives, we tend to miss the beauty that the holiday brings...community and the arrival of a King.
Because the most notable thing about Christmas isn't exchanging gifts, spending money, having the biggest or best holiday party, or running from one thing to the next. The most remarkable part is time spent with family laughing, resting, and making memories. It's the expectancy of what is to come. It's the arrival of a long awaited baby.
So, I challenge you this holiday season to make some time in your calendar to gather your family around the table. Drink a big cup of coffee. Gather in the kitchen to make those homemade-family recipe cookies. Belly laugh. Make messes.
Because this season was made for laughter and rest. This season was made for a baby. As we revel in the arrival of that long awaited King, let us enjoy the quiet beauty that this season can bring with it, if only we take the time to find it.

I received my pans and sticks. The bags, bottle and worst of all the recipe book were not included. I called and a very nice lady was glad to correct the error. Unfortunately I received more pans. They also came missing the bags, bottle and worst of all the recipe book along with a bill for shipping charges. I'm affraid to call again. I already have enough pans. I just really would like the recipe book.

Michael Strahan's role at Good Morning America may be viewed as lucrative by honchos but sources claim fellow anchors on the show are sick of ABC bosses giving him preferential treatment.
"They roll out the carpet for [Strahan] while seasoned talent is treated like dirt. He's been given a lot of opportunity, flexibility, when the others who have been working there longer don't get that kind of treatment," a source said.
As Page Six notes, Strahan inked a deal with the network that allows him to continue to analyze football at Fox NFL Sunday and host ABC's $100,000 Pyramid. But he was forced to drop most of his lucrative endorsement deals when he joined GMA.
Meanwhile anchor Lara Spencer, "feels like her role has been minimized with Strahan. There's not a lot of love between the two. They know how to put it on for the cameras, but he's doing a lot of what Lara should be doing [on the show] and she's not happy. She's the pop person."
George Stephanopoulos is said to be over it.
"He's bored with the fluff. He goes into work, does the show and leaves by 8:57 a.m. He doesn't interact. He's been phoning it in for quite some time," the source said.
An ABC News exec insists that Spencer has fully embraced Strahan into the GMA family.
"That's just bulls - - t. They get along great. She loves having someone with his sense of humor on the show. Michael is lovely with the staff . . . And as for Lara, she has far more airtime in the 8 a.m. hour and is loving the studio audience."
Continuing, "The idea that George is phoning it in is absurd. He gets to 'GMA' at, like, 3 in the morning. He works 16 hours a day. He goes home because he does all of the special reports in addition to 'GMA,' and he's calling sources and getting ready for his Sunday show. He comes back to the office in the afternoon . . . And he's incredibly engaged in the news coming out of DC right now."
An ABC rep added: "We've tripled our lead over the 'Today' show [in total viewers]. The show has never been better."

Michael is such a camera hog. I cannot stand to watch the show anymore. He leans all over the other hosts at the table to dominate conversation then interrupts. I feel bad for Robin as he practically sleeps on her shoulders to run things. Him an Gayle King are so annoying.
Why are people always talking shiggity? smh

CNN may not have learned much from yesterday's NYTimes
article about media independence.
The New York Times reported that the Pentagon and the Administration have been promoting their message about the Iraq war through the supposedly independent analysts that all of the major news outlets have been employing.
There is nothing wrong with the government trying to get its message out to the public. The problem is this: The news media and the government cultivated an illusion that these individuals were in fact independent voices. They wore the skin of unimpeachable and objective observers of world events. But they were in fact carefully cultivated by the administration to articulate a specific position on Iraq and the conflict there.
And now CNN has hired Tony Snow, former White House Press Secretary, as a political contributor. Perhaps they hired him explicitly to bring a conservative voice to the network. But I hope that CNN is very careful about the kind of commentary they ask from him.
Larry King asked him who would win in November. Tony Snow replied, "I think [Sen. John] McCain's going to win, actually, because I think security and the economy both break his way."
Statements like this are fine if Mr. Snow is clearly portrayed as an advocate and not an objective analyst of political affairs. But it seems like it would be quite easy for him to take on the air of an analyst. At that point, statements of advocacy masked as analysis become at least a little pernicious.

McCain's Borrow and Spend Bill
S. 2890 a bill introduced by Sen. John McCain.
OpenCongress describes this bill as intended "to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for a highway fuel tax holiday." The bill will eliminate the gas tax between Memorial Day and Labor Day of 2008.
Even McCain acknowledges that the money of the gas tax goes to something useful. So to make up the difference, his bill will replace the funds lost from the tax with money from the General Treasury. In essence, Sen. McCain is borrowing money from an already cash strapped federal government that is paying for two wars, huge tax cuts for the wealthy, and out-of-control defense spending.
Once again, a leader of the Republican Party is borrowing money from the government and tax-paying citizens to fund a project with only short term benefits and long term negative economic and environmental consequences.
Some complain that the Democratic party likes to "tax and spend". As this bill demonstrates, the Republican party is just as fond of spending (if not more so), but it gets shy when it comes to asking for the funds to pay for its adventures in foreign countries.
Proposing taxes sufficient to their spending would force the GOP to be accountable to an American public that is reluctant to have its money spent on frivolous projects. Instead, the GOP has developed a penchant for cutting taxes and hiding its spending by borrowing.
It borrows from social programs like education and social security. It borrows from the health of the environment. It borrows from workers' livelihoods. It borrows from the resources and the people that the United States needs to rely on in the future.

Collaborative law-making, Law professors debate and a web 2.0 project creates
Penn Law Professors debate collaborative environmental law-making
Here are their arguments, as I understand them:
Coglianese argues that the purpose of environmental law-making should be the greatest public good, and that collaborative law-making processes become dedicated not to the public good, but to making a deal among competing interests. The results of such processes then often reflect the lowest common denominator to which parties could agree.
Orts argues that command-and-control statutory processes for environmental law-making are just as dominated by deal-making as collaborative processes, but at least the latter invites deal-making into the open. The principle weakness of command-and-control law-making is that (1) law-makers do not have all the information that they would need to make a good decision and a collaborative process would find more information and that (2) policy decisions are value judgments and collaborative processes can enable those who hold opposing values to negotiate a settlement, rather than allowing the decision to be made by third-party policy-makers.
As a partisan of Wiki-wisdom and participatory civil society, I lean towards Orts at first. But Coglianese's criticisms strike several serious blows. For example, I can accept that many policy decisions are values judgments that can't be decided by "experts". When the law-makers are not elected by and accountable to the public, then I would agree that these individuals should not adjudicate the values of a community they do not legitimately represent. But if they are elected officials, they are not alien "experts", but rather individuals chosen precisely to make these value judgments on behalf of the community. In the end I am torn between their two arguments.
So to cut the gordion knot, I'll just point to a different model of collaborative law-making. (Whew. Two paths diverged and I left the forest) At PublicMarkup.org the Sunlight Foundation has written a piece of proposed legislation entitled, "Transparency in Government Act". The bill's text is written like blog entries - un-editable to users. But there is endless space for comments next to the text. And the bill's authors are free to incorporate or not incorporate comments into their text.
This model escapes the deal-making, lowest-common-denominator-finding problem that Coglianese associates with collaborative law-making. How? It says, "Forget you. This is my bill, and it will say exactly what I want it to say". But it is collaborative in two senses. First, it is collaborative in the sense that the software and mission of the site invite participation from internet users. Second, the bill takes shape in public and outside of the traditional avenues of bill creation such as closed Congressional legislative shops.
In this way, PublicMarkup.org does not dilute its strength through collaboration, while at the same time earning the benefits of public participation, debate, fact-gathering and perspective-enlarging.
A caveat: the PublicMarkup.org process is an iterative one. It supplements rather than replaces traditional legislative processes, because its bill must still be introduced, accepted and legitimized by a representatives of the entire community.
I'm so excited about PublicMarkup.org and the prospect of open-source, publicly created legislation that it seems likely there will be more about it on this blog....

Too much division of labor causes a dearth of democracy?
John Dunn in his book Democracy. A History quotes the French revolutionary theorist, the Abbe Sieyes,
The more a society advances in the arts of trade and production, the moore we see the work connected to public functions should, like private employments, be carried out less expensively and more effectively by men who make it their exclusive occupation.
For one thing, the quote illustrates that Marx was not the first theorist of capitalism to influence and inspire revolutionary thought. Dunn points out that Sieyes' determination that public offices should be held by career public officials in an advanced society comes directly from Adam Smith and his theories of the division of labor.
And today, public functions are often carried out by men and women who exclusively occupy them. Our vision of modern democracy is deeply intertwined with this vision of divided labor throughout society. This vision contrasts sharply with democracy's first fans. In ancient Athens, each citizen (of course, those citizens were only upper class wealthy males) had a responsibility to participate in public life. Today many people shy away from participating in public roles that reach outside of their job description.
What does it mean for a state with democratic aspirations to nurture a culture which tells people to butt out of public affairs unless they are professionals? Do we have a duty to play a role in governing our community?

Tiffany Evans Covers BE Magazine + "Hustle Hard (REMIX)"
Singer/actress Tiffany Evans looks all grown up on the cover of BE Magazine's Summer Issue. Evans has been belting notes for years but the 18-year-old is still trying to claim her spot in the music industry.
Now that she is a young adult, I look forward to mature lyrics which may broaden her audience. Evans surprised her fans and recently took on Ace Hood's "Hustle Hard" and there is more to come from her. An upcoming mixtape is expected sometime later this Summer. To promote the mixtape she is doing "Tiffany Tuesdays" on her twitter where she is posting new music and remixes. Below is her remix to the song "Hustle Hard."

A man convicted of breaking into homes on Vashon Island and raping teen girls inside has been sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Seattlepi.com reports that Brian Chadwick Dublin did not speak at his sentencing Friday in King County Superior Court. The 29-year-old was convicted during a trial at which he insisted the encounters were consensual or didn't happen.
Prosecutors said that in 2003 he broke into the bedroom of a sleeping 18-year-old and raped her.
Three years later, he tried to rape a 12-year-old girl who was sharing a bedroom with her younger sister, and in January 2010, he raped a 16-year-old girl in her bedroom. That teen told police she remembered the assailant from a birthday party she had attended.

DENVER (CBS4) – Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler is stepping up his efforts to prevent non-American citizens from voting.
Gessler has asked the Department of Homeland Security to give his office the citizenship status of thousands of registered voters.
The Denver Post reports that 4,500 people provided a non-citizen document when they applied for a driver's license and then registered to vote.
Gessler says he's trying to enforce voting laws.
Critics say the Republican secretary is trying to stop potentially Democratic voters from going to the polls during this election year.
Anyone that thinks Juan and Maria illegal Bee ner who gets a ballot in the mail..In "espanol" ain`t gonna` vote for their interest`s.. is either naive ,stupid or both.
What burns me up is that the …."Critics say the Republican secretary is trying to stop potentially Democratic voters from going to the polls during this election year"
No; thay are illegal aliens from another country and do not have the right to vote in our country….furthermore; they are breaking the law by even trying to vote. It makes good sence to make sure that the people voting in our elections are US Citizens. Seems simple to me.
They are always trying to change the true focus of preventing illegals from voting. They will do anythng and is is truly shameful.
Why do Democrats find this so difficult?
Does it come from decades, maybe centuries of registering dead voters?
Does it come from having their people register in many different precincts?
Or are they just plain dishonest?
Well the law is the law no matter what party you are afilliated with. You wouldn't go into the Denver Country Club if you were not a member and didn't pay your dues. I find it amazing that as many as 4500 (supposidly) had registered to vote illegally. This shows me how much they want to become citizens, what other reason could there be? Know any?

…and he has hit the nail on the head yet again today. Go read this post, and then come back over here for a chat. Go ahead, I'll wait.
The quote I want to comment on is here:
He added, however, it should not be a question of trying to set limits to the pastor's beliefs. "It is very difficult to precisely state the boundaries," said Heetderks, who is due to end his term of office as synod chairperson at its meeting on 19 April.
I would respectfully suggest to Mr. Heetderks that the boundaries were stated in the fourth century, to whit:
The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
As far as I am concerned, if you can't say the creed without crossing your fingers, you have no business being in Christian ministry. Period.

Why is there such a 'high turnover' within the Jehovahs Witnesses?
by UnshackleTheChains
I happened to come across a Time article in 2008. It was basically talking about the high turnover in American faiths. It mentioned the jdubs and highlighted the following point.
An even more extreme example of what might be called "masked churn" is the relatively tiny Jehovah's Witnesses, with a turnover rate of about two-thirds. That means that two-thirds of the people who told Pew they were raised Jehovah's Witnesses no longer are — yet the group attracts roughly the same number of converts. Notes Lugo, "No wonder they have to keep on knocking on doors."
Throughout my years as a witness, I have personally seen people come and go. The retention rate appears to be quite poor and not that many converts in the congregations I went to. I have seen quite a few people fade and disappear without a whisper of why? Some left because they didn't get on with the elders. One young lad left because he had a 'worldly' girlfriend. And another guy left because he didn't feel good enough!
Is this something you have experienced?
That means that two-thirds of the people who told Pew they were raised Jehovah's Witnesses no longer are — yet the group attracts roughly the same number of converts.
Was that a necessarily 'bad' thing though from the JWs point-of-view?
The problem is that those who are 'born-in' become JWs by 'default' having made no real decision and are more likely to be 'weak' members.
Whereas those who have converted have made a specific decision to join and are therefore more likely to be 'stronger' members.
Of course the problem the JWs DO have. now. Is the lack of converts combined with born-ins leaving.
Is this something you have experienced?
Yes, left and right. It's all over the place. Consequences of mediocre management of a mediocre organization.
The problem is that those who are 'born-in' become JWs by 'default' having made no real decision and are more likely to be 'weak' members.
Whereas those who have converted have made a specific decision to join and are therefore more likely to be 'stronger' members
I would have to agree with your point. A perfect example of this was when I recently went to an ex JW Meetup and this discussion came up.
I was a convert. For many years I was quite strong in my faith. Those at the ex JW Meetup who were brought up, mentioned that they never felt spiritual at all. I found this really interesting.
I'm not surprised that the Witness religion has a high turnover. Once people find out the real story and the all-consuming nature of it all, they are out of there.
I came in as a young adult interested in end-time prophecy. They misrepresented themselves.
The real story became apparent after a couple of years. It's like peeling an onion one layer at a time. Everybody is very secretive and nobody there will level with you about what is wrong. You have to find out on your own, one rude awakening after another. I was on the fringes of the religion.
I resisted attempts to get me to quit my full time job and looking back in retrospect I can say all the people who suggested it EARNED their living or were financially secure !..Yet they had the nerve to push poverty to young single women like me. Imagine the hypocrisy? My instincts told me they resented me as an independent young woman and didn't see me as a person who deserved what they had (and what I came from) namely security. So, in my opinion, they were trying to "abase" me. They got nowhere, but it only made me conscious of how envious they are.
If they were still living, I would track them down and write a well-deserved nasty letter telling them I am happily retired (no thanks to them) and want nothing to do with the JW religion. What they did is unforgivable as far as I'm concerned.
It might be to the fact that the JWS religion is highly controlling over its devoted adherents and the majority of its core doctrines just dont stand up in strength toward their truthfulness or accuracy.
The Watchtower Corporation has been deceiving and corrupt in making up its doctrines which were more created toward their support of the literature the WTS published.
It would fair to say this commercial scam which is supported by a organized religion is loosing its viability and support.
darkspilver - I like your analogy of 'born-ins' and it makes sense. I can relate with what Unshackle says - I believed and tried to follow as a convert. Like Longhairgal it was one awakening then another - lots of horrifying eye openers. What a pecking order.
Hope Fink is right about the scam (love his words/descriptions) losing it's strength.
the problem the JWs DO have. now. Is the lack of converts combined with born-ins leaving.
In the 33 years I had being a JW convert and the six or so congregations I was involved in I could count on one hand the amount of people who came to a meeting through invitations that were regularly distributed in the community.
The converts in the Western world has been dwindling for many years now and what converts their have now are from poor 3rd world countries who do not contribute much money.
I find it hard to comprehend why the WT has cut back on printing books and Mags and not willing to pay a tax on these sales. ( It could be argued that they are only paying back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
They have something like 7-8 million sure sales of these publications every time they produce a new publication.
I`m sure a worldly publishing company would consider that a dream result in sales.
Also ,it was once said that Advertisers had approached the WT to use their Mags for their products recognizing the distribution these Mags had worldwide ,what a misplaced opportunity then.
They could have been selective as to what was advertised in their mags.but look at the revenue they could have enjoyed with volunteer `s distributing these books and magazines worldwide.
I think the reason the havnt decided to pay tax on their rags, is in one word "PRIDE". To pay tax would be like having to admit they were wrong, and greatly underestimated their members support. As I don't live in the USA, can someone please tell me if it's now possible to reverse their tax free status.

O'Neill Cautious on Comebackby Paul Branecky / Carolina Hurricanes
Although his reappearance in Raleigh is sure to invoke feelings of nostalgia for all those who followed the Hurricanes during his seven year stint with the team, Jeff O'Neill doesn't want to you get too excited just yet.
The 32-year-old forward, who is attempting a comeback with the Canes by way of a training camp tryout, repeatedly downplayed the situation after taking part in one of the Hurricanes' informal players-only skates this week.
"This is not really that big a deal," he said. "This is just a tryout where we'll see what happens. If I play well and it looks like I can play, maybe something will happen. If not, it's not going to happen."
O'Neill, still the Hurricanes all-time goal scoring leader with 176 and second only to Glen Wesley in games played with 536, didn't play pro hockey at all last season following a two-year stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Once he decided he was interested in coming back to the NHL, he had his agent contact Carolina General Manager Jim Rutherford, who agreed to the tryout.
"I've had some success here in the past and obviously a lot of names are different here in the locker room, but I'm very familiar with the area and just comfortable here in general, so it's an easy fit for me," he said.
O'Neill's best offensive season in the NHL came with the Hurricanes in 2000-01, when he scored a career-high 41 goals – two more than he scored during his stay with the Maple Leafs. He was also named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team in 2002-03.
For what it's worth, which may not be much considering the relatively relaxed nature of the drills and scrimmages he's participated in thus far, O'Neill, wearing a Hurricanes jersey complete with his old number 92 on his helmet, doesn't look out of place among the current
"Smart players can come back because they don't lose that," said former teammate Rod Brind'Amour, who has been running the informal practices. "He'll get his conditioning, but he's always had the intelligence to play this game, so he's a step ahead of most players already.
"Whether or not he wants to dig in there and give it another shot, that's what's going to remain to be seen," added Brind'Amour. "I think sometimes when you've sat away from it from awhile that makes you hungrier to come back, and I think that's where he'll be at."
O'Neill, who says the year off has given him a "generally fresh state of mind," hopes that will be the case, but isn't counting on any special treatment from the Hurricanes' management despite his undeniable place in the team's history.
"Jim Rutherford and Ronnie Francis, I consider them friends of mine and I think they're going to be straight-up honest with me," said O'Neill. "If it doesn't look like it's going to happen, they're just going to tell me it's not going to happen. It's as simple as that."
Regardless of what happens come training camp and beyond, O'Neill seems content just to give it his best shot and enjoy it while it lasts.
"It's just nice to be back in this locker room, and even if things don't work out I got to put the jersey on again," he said. "It's only been three days here but it's already been a lot of fun."

Using git in iPhone projects
I have been doing iphone projects using git but I noticed that I got tons of conflicts. When using svn this wasn't happening and merges were less frequent.
Xcode needs the user to add a file by hand. For example adding a new image. When this happens an xml get modified. This xml file is one of the ones that git gets conflict and svn doesn't.
Anyone using git with xcode projects is doing something to fix this?
2 Solutions collect form web for "Using git in iPhone projects"
Maybe you are having conflicts on files that shouldn't be version controlled in the first place (eg. generated code or binaries). If this is the case, you should remove then from the repository and add their names to
.gitignore to ensure they won't be added in the future.
although there are similarities, git's commit is not identical to svn's commit.
git has a different workflow, and you can commit, merge, fetch, push at different stages. the additional stages are features.
if you want to avoid this: fetch, merge, resolve conflicts, commit, and push every time you want to do what you know as a svn update and commit cycle. this process will enforce the incremental revision model of svn — git doesn't use an incremental revision model (another git feature).
it's not a problem with git, the systems use different workflows, and git has features you'll eventually really like once you learn to get out of the svn mindset.
git commits are local until pushed to the remote.

Preheat oven at 220 º C.
For the base
Beat the egg yolks with 150 gr sugar until they turn white.
In a different bowl beat the egg whites into a meringue and add the remaining sugar.
Combine half the meringue with the yolk mixture, add the flour, cocoa and corn flour and stir lightly with a ladle.
Gradually mix in the rest of the meringue.
Using a spatula spread the mixture, 1 cm depth, on a cooking sheet, and bake for 8-10 minutes.
After it has cooled, flip it over and remove the cooking sheet.
Cut a strip from the baked mixture,4. about 8 cm width, and place it all around a ring-pan, 20 cm in diameter.
Next cut two disks from the same mixture, 18 cm in diameter each, and place one of them on the bottom of the pan.
For the mousse
Place the milk and cream in a pot and heat them.
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar well and just before the milk and cream mixture come to a boil, add it to the yolks and sugar.
Empty all of the combined ingredients in the same pot the milk and cream was boiling and heat them up to 85 ºC (it should not come to a boil).
Soften the gelatin sheets in cold water and then add them to the mixture. Allow the mixture to cool but not grow cold. A
Add it to the milky chocolate, stir well and as soon as it starts building up combine it with the cream.
Place half of the mixture in the ring-pan, on top of it place the baked disk you have set aside and then the rest of the mixture.
Refrigerate for at least 5 hours. Very carefully remove the ring-pan and garnish with chocolate flakes.
For the chocolate flakes
Melt 100 gr of milky chocolate in a double boiler and then by stirring it lower its temperature to 28 ºC.
Spread it on a cooking sheet, taking care to make it very thin, and before it grows cold and hard, graze it with a spatula and make flakes.

This little project takes about 10 minutes and $5 or so. I love it!
First take some Halloween spiders. You can buy bigger ones for a little extra money (like $2 more) like I did (not necessarily because they were cuter but because I could not find those $1 ones that you stick in the fake webs). Mine are glittery and cute so I guess the extra money was still worth it.
Use a glue gun to glue a small magnet onto the back of them.
All done! Now just arrange somewhere. I put mine on the refrigerator because my front door is not metal but the front door or garage door might be cute too.
Happy Decorating Everyone!

How 'bout that logic. And the priorities. Hamzi at once argues in the name of "freedom" for the absence of a minimum age of marriage, and insists it's not really a problem anyway. Then, what accounts for the ferocity of the opposition? Muhammad's example does, along with the esteem in which his conduct is held per Qur'an 33:21. That is the criterion for the "freedom" Hamzi extols.
An update on this story. "Yemen: Islamic lawmaker decries child marriage ban as part of 'Western agenda'," by Alexandra Sandels for the Los Angeles Times, April 18:
The recent death of 13-year old Yemeni child bride Elham Assi, who reportedly bled to death last week after being tied down and forced to have sex with her 23-year-old husband, has sparked outrage among rights activists in Yemen.
They are now stepping up their lobbying efforts to push for the implementation of a child marriage ban.
But that may prove a daunting challenge since fierce opposition against a ban on child brides still runs high among some religious leaders and conservatives.
Sheik Mohammed Hamzi, an official of the Islamist Yemeni opposition party Islaah and the imam of the Al-Rahman mosque in the Yemeni capital of Sana, is one of those who staunchly opposes a legal ban on child marriage.
Although he emphasizes that a woman should not get married before she is physically and mentally ready and that she herself needs to accept the marriage, he believes a law that prohibits child marriage constitutes a rights violation.
"I am against the child marriage law because it restrains the freedom of others. When a certain age [for marriage] is set, it violates the rights of others. For example, imagine a young man of 13 or 14 years of age who wants to have sex. … This is a violation of his rights," Sheik Hamzi told The Times in an interview at his Sana home last week. […]
From this point on in the article, he's "Hazmi."
But Hazmi dismisses claims by rights groups that there is a problem with child marriages in his country. He said the child-bride cases that have been reported in the media were merely isolated incidents.
"Just ask my mother and sisters how many times they've found a little girl getting married at the marriages they've attended," he said. "Not many."
The country's Ministry of Social Affairs, on the contrary, says child marriages are common in Yemen. According to a 2009 report by the ministry, a quarter of all females in Yemen marry before the age of 15.
To Hazmi, however, women's- and children's-rights activists are putting a few isolated cases of child marriage in the spotlight to rally support for the law.
"There is no problem here with child marriage," he said. "These cases of young girls getting married are exceptions. These organizations that are promoting for this law couldn't find any examples except for those of Nujoud and Elham."
Hazmi said the groups that are campaigning for the law were harmful to the country, trying to promote a "Western agenda" in Yemen.
"It's all a Western agenda they are following," he said. "They get paid from the West to make us to believe in Western culture. This is very bad because our culture is different here."
The best that could happen, in his opinion, is that the government shuts them down.
"No one wants to marry these women's-rights activists anyway," he said. "They're just depressed that they are not married and jealous."
Would he allow his own young daughters to be married?
"No," he says and looks at the two as they're scurrying around in the room. "At this age, I don't want them married."
The reporter would do well to check back in a year, and again in five.

He had his clinical training at St Bartholomew's, intending to be a surgeon. He held various house appointments, and was for a time an assistant at the City of London Hospital for Diseases of the Chest. Under the influence of H S Adamson he became interested in skin diseases, and was appointed chief assistant in the skin department at St Bartholomew's.

At long last, it's FRIDAY NIGHT! Which mean two very important things… the weekend is upon on us AND we're getting closer and closer to the start of the university year! It also means we have reached the end of this week's 5forFreshers but please, PLEASE hold back the tears… (we see you over there at the back), we'll be back again next week with some good stuff. Taking the reigns today is Business student and all round fashion guru, Asmah Mansur-Williams.
Got any embarrassing, funny or downright lame stories from your time as a Fresher? Maybe you've got the key to all Fresher wisdom or you have that one picture from Fresher's that you just HAVE to show the world. Send us your tweets to @NerveOnline with the hashtag #5forFreshers and you may be featured in in the next article! It really doesn't get any better than this, aye?
Name: Asmah Mansur-Williams
Year: Fourth
Course: Business Studies
Frank Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean: The Atlantic, at least that's consistent…
1. BFFs…what BFFs?!
Don't be in any hurry to make friends (true friends), it all seamlessly happens from meeting more people over time. More often than not, making friends in a hurry or because you feel obliged to have that mandatory freshers posse doesn't actually favour you in the long run because time check, they never stick around. If you are struggling at making friends initially, it doesn't mean anything is wrong with you (rewind back to three years ago and constantly ring this in my head), if anything, it means you are worth more to yourself than you think (hold on tightly to this).
2. Get INVOLVED
Aside from the obvious lectures, seminars (which I expect you'll see a number of tips on) go to your orientations (Fresher's Fair is a great place to start), welcome dinners/meetups, PALs, all the little tit bits you'll probably roll up your duvet covers on. Those 'social' gatherings are great for meeting people and generally making you more comfortable in your new school.
This is particularly for International students that find it hard to adjust due to language barrier. Your lack of effective English speaking doesn't make you any less than the other freshers. Go out there, get familiar with your local town, talk to shop owners, attend the English workshop and orientations set by the university. All in all, don't feel daunted when people find it hard to understand you, your English will build up with time. Remember: You are making a conscious effort to improve your linguistic skills by coming all the way to an English speaking country, that should be a point of pride for you!
4. Get familiar with lecturers, tutors*
This tip actually helps you get far in a way, knowing your teachers personally than those eye stares in a lecture hall filled with over 200 students actually helps you build your confidence and helps in a number of difficult situation (think courseworks and exams preparation). Since the relationship is already built, it's easier to approach tutors in those dire times of need.
*Note: this is not to be misinterpreted as teachers pet
5. TRY NOT TO WEAR ALL YOUR WARDROBE IN A DAY (Take a cue, fresher Asmah!)
For the style conscious ones amongst you, just try not to. Its definitely an overwhelming phase and I congratulate you for getting this far but try in anyway to notch the excitement down a bit with your appearance. Trust me, there will be plenty of time to done every extra piece of slinky jewellery in your closet.
An extra tip right here because I am a nice person: No one has their life together, including that final year girl you've just seen walk past, yep even her!
Got any questions for Asmah about Fresher's? She would love to answer them! Tweet us at @NerveOnline with the hashtag #5ForFreshersAsmah.

#17 Requiem For A Dream
(2000, Darren Aronofsky)
"But I'm going to be on television!"
The other day, I had a discussion with a co-worker regarding movies that are just profoundly hard to watch. Not because they're bad movies, but because the movies are about such difficult topics that you come away finding it hard to discuss it. You just want to sit quietly in a dark room for a while until the profound uncomfortable sensation the movie gave you fades away. The movie I cited as a prime example was Requiem For A Dream.
The movie is about addiction and the American Dream. On one hand we have a group of drug addicts, Harry (Jared Leto), Tyrone (Damon Wayans) and Marion (Jennifer Connelly), who decide to move into the drug peddling trade to earn a lot of money and get themselves the lives they want to leave. On the other, we have Harry's mother, Sara (Ellen Burstyn) who is also an addict. Except she's addicted to something more socially acceptable – television. She constantly watches a series of infomercials and game shows, and when receives news that she's been invited to appear on the show, she becomes obsessed with looking great for the cameras.
But as much as I'd like to avoid spoilers with these reviews (except in the "scenes" section, I'll admit), I may as well say it right off the bat. The movie starts off gritty and moody, with only minimal hope holding some of the misery together into something bearable, but as it progresses, it only gets more depressing. About halfway through, all hope drops out of the movie and it's just a constant downhill slope from there. Requiem For A Dream is not a happy movie.
While it may be an uncomfortable movie, it is not a bad one. In fact, its ability to connect with the viewer on such a powerful level is something only a good movie is capable of doing. It makes the viewer uncomfortable, but it's deliberately doing everything it can to achieve that feeling. Darren Aronofsky uses rapid fire cutting to disorient the viewer, and frames everything that happens in ways the viewer can connect with. Indeed, by directly contrasting the "evil" illegal drug addiction with the "safe and acceptable" television addiction, the two become one and the same. The fact that the act of putting on a pot of coffee is presented in almost exactly the same manner as someone shooting heroin speaks volumes. Just when you're prepared to say "yeah, but they take drugs, they have it coming", Aronofsky hits you with something you're bound to be doing every day, and says it's the same thing, which throws you every time.
It also helps that the performances are pretty spectacular too. You'll find yourself feeling sorry for Ellen Burstyn's character constantly, for starters. She makes the character seem realistically like a lonely old woman with little better to do than just stare at a TV screen all day. Jennifer Connelly elicits both sympathy and spite in equal measure as the tormented Marion. As for Leto and Wayans, I initially had reservations, specifically in the "how can the lead singer of 30 Seconds To Mars and that guy from Scary Movie play serious parts?" area. But they pull it off. Leto is especially surprising, and while Wayans has his "wackier" moments, they actually suit the characters perfectly.
But Reqiuem is a movie you're unlikely to ever watch again. It's so harrowing, so unrelentingly miserable, that the idea of watching it a second time seems like masochism. But if you feel you can take it, it's worth watching at least once. It's a masterpiece of film-making, both in its technical ability and in its ability to connect with the viewer on a serious emotional level.
Starring Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly & Marlon Wayans
Written by Hubert Selby Jr and Darren Aronofsky
Produced by Eric Watson and Palmer West
Original score by Clint Mansell
Cinematography by Matthew Libatique
Edited by Jay Rabinowitz
Favourite Scene: The exchange towards the end of the film between Marion and the man she's begun to receive drugs from. The subtle hints to how trapped by her addiction she is are powerful.
Scene That Bugged Me: I never quite grasped exactly what the TV show Sara is a addicted to is. So anytime this appeared it bugged me.
Watch it if: A little uneasiness doesn't scare you, and you can appreciate the message.
Avoid it if: You like your movies to come with happy endings.

LAKE WORTH -- Jonny Loew fiddled while his house burned.
The 31-year-old musician was playing a gig with his classic rock band in Fort Lauderdale on Friday night. He said did not find out until early Saturday morning, after hours of rocking and rolling, that his home had burst into flames during his performance.
Nearly everything he owned -- with the notable exceptions of his guitars and amplifiers -- was destroyed.
``Is there anything in here I can wear?`` he said on Saturday as he poked through the smoke-blackened possessions in his front yard. ``Everything stinks.``
The fire broke out just after 11 p.m. at the house in the 200 block of South L Street.
Loew shared the wood-frame home with two roommates, a waiter and an electrician. No one was at the house when the blaze started, and no one was injured.
The fire began in a loft bedroom, shot up through the roof and back down through the walls, officials said.
``I heard several loud explosions and breaking glass,`` said Ann Vanderschuur, whose house sits less than 3 feet from the fire site. ``I thought somebody was shooting.``
A neighbor started banging on Vanderschuur`s door, shouting about a fire. ``I didn`t know if it was my house or somebody else`s,`` she said.
Firefighters, using aerial ladders, flooded the burning home with water. Flames shot nearly 50 feet into the air. Firefighters also sprayed down Vanderschuur`s home as a precaution.
``I`m really proud of the way the guys contained that fire,`` Lake Worth fire Capt. Keith McIntyre said. ``We could`ve easily had two structures burning.``

Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
I have had Whitman on the brain lately. I love that last line especially; the next time someone stares at me uncomprehendingly, I am going to shrug and look off to the side and into the distance and say, loftily, "I am large. I contain multitudes." That'll show 'em.
I saw a bumper sticker on a chick's car by the MPE earlier this week that said: "Geologists know how to make the bed rock!".
I cannot stress enough how geology humor is quite possibly the worst kind of humor in the world [1]. And given that I am the girl whose life would be incomplete without elephant jokes and other ba-dum-tshh moments, that's– oh, that's, that's a compliment right there. And every Geo major or geologist I've met has this terrible-wonderful sense of humor. *I* have it, too, more or less, but I have no intention whatsoever of being a geologist, ever. Which I think is even better, because then I get to be one of the gloried few outsiders who actually appreciates the jokes where others will just roll their eyes and stop listening.
Where I guess I'm trying to go with this: I have a crush on a grad student. WHOM I HAVE NEVER MET. So it's not much of a foundation for a crush, except he's Geo and he has such an adorable, goofy smile. Crushes have been developed on much weaker ground before. But 1) I do not think I will actually ever meet him and 2) it's very possible he is younger than I am, so, like 99% of my crushes (which are few and far in between to start), this is all very implausible.
I need a nap.
[1] There's a potential bad pun in there somewhere. Like how geologists might stress you out, but it's not their fault? (ohhh)
Sometimes, in E&M, when the lecture gets a little snoozy (you'd think a class on electricity and magnetism would be more *stimulating* and *riveting*– ha!), I try to spice up my notes by putting exclamation marks after my section headers or by scribbling enthusiastic commentary. So my physics notes are littered with things like "Ohm's Law!" and "quasistatics = reversible work!" and "contour integral! hooray!"
My geo notes have exclamation marks in them all over the place, too, but those are authentic. I mean, how can you *not* get excited about lava flows and foliated metamorphic rocks (gneiss! and schist! HA!!)?
And, oh man, in this week's civil lab? We were working with PowerPoint and I just started creating ridiculous slides. What other choice did I have? It was that, really, or DIE FROM BOREDOM. But I was so thoroughly amused by myself that I couldn't stop snickering (but softly?), which, uh, I don't think the lab monitor (slash-begin-quote-TA-end-quote) appreciated a whole super lot. That, however, is a story all its own.
And I got another of my TAs to put stickers (supplied by me) on my graded lab reports. COLLEGE IS A BLAST!
Apparently I go through this phase often enough that I'm actually aware that it's a phase. But, uh, yeah. I have about eleventy thousand hundred and two posts 90% written and saved as drafts. None of them have titles. I can't let myself post anything unless it's titled, and my title-generating machine is out-of-service. Someone's scheduled to come by and repair it tomorrow between the hours of noon and never.
Anyway. Geo lecture was canceled today so I had an extra hour to dick around in the library stacks (which were freezing cold today), so I decided to participate in the song chart meme that's been going around the Internet (again, I know this isn't new or anything) like HepB and flu combined:
This is getting ridiculous.

Our Centre for Metrics
The Legatum Institute understands the importance of accurate data when making decisions that affect people's lives. We are building a world class Centre for Metrics that will ensure:
The Centre is focused on promoting policies that lift people from poverty to prosperity. Our Centre for metrics drives this through:
The Social Metrics Commission The Social Metrics Commission is an independent charity chaired by the Legatum Institute's CEO Baroness Stroud. It is dedicated to helping policy makers and the public understand and take action to tackle poverty. Its ultimate goal is to develop new poverty metrics for the UK which will have both long-term political support and effectively identify those who are in poverty. By doing so, we hope that Government and others will be better able to develop interventions that reduce the number of people experiencing poverty and improve outcomes for those people who do experience it.
The Prosperity Index For a decade The Legatum Prosperity Index™ has been offering a unique insight into how prosperity is forming and changing across the world. Based on an updated methodology developed over the last 2 years with input from world leading advisers including Nobel Laureate Angus Deaton it measures Prosperity across 149 countries looking at a variety of categories: Economic, Business Environment, Health, Education, Governance, Personal Freedom, Safety and Security, Social Capital and Natural Environment.
The UK Prosperity Index Applying the model and methodology of the Global Prosperity Index this is a view of 389 UK local authority areas providing a unique insight into how Prosperity is distributed across Britain. On a national scale the Index is made up of seven categories looking at Economic Quality, Business Environment, Education, Health, Safety and Security, Social Capital and Natural Environment. This Index is the most comprehensive and detailed compilation of nationally accepted data available.
The Africa Prosperity Report Again using the model of the Global Prosperity Index, the Africa report is an attempt to draw together detailed analysis of the data for this dynamic and emerging continent. It also aims to improve data collection in countries that have traditionally been weak in the collation and provision of detailed metrics.

The high school I attended had the football team of the century. More wins, more titles, more records than any other 5A school in Texas. In West Texas, it's hard to find anyone who doesn't love Jesus, mama and high school football. Unfortunately, the years I attended were not their golden years.
This has changed.
My senior year, we finally had a winning season and things have steadily improved since. Last night, I got to take my girls to San Antonio to watch them win the state championship in a game they dominated from the kickoff.
We started out going to the Children's Museum, then the Alamo. Remember the Alamo? Yeah, they didn't.
We spent some time walking over the Riverwalk and looking down, but didn't make it down there. We've done the boats and walking a couple times before, though. I was really proud of Dixie--she can be extremely afraid of heights and looked over the railings and walked on the bridges with only a little hesitation.
Then we hit the Alamodome. (For the record: what you consider 'shaggy' I consider 'growing out her bangs')
The first quarter was thrilling, with back-to-back touchdowns for the warbirds. But the reality of the eternal nature of football set in and the girls started to lose their excitement by the end of the half.
Fortunately, there are marching bands and dancing girls to perk you back up a bit.
Binoculars make a game more interesting. Not that you really see it all that much better, but that it gives a girl something to play with.
It isn't that the game was a nail-biter; that was merely another past time.
And, as the song goes, three cheers for Grand Old Abilene High!

Woman's Day Easy Scones
This recipe has 3 ingredients. It takes a total of 30 minutes, 10 of which is active and makes 8 servings. I made a few modifications to this recipe. First, I used sierra mist soda, since it was what was on sale the week that I made these scones. For flavor I added dried cranberries, approximately 1/2 cup. I love fruit scones and the cranberries give a nice sweet/tart element. Finally, instead of spooning the dough, I hand patted the dough into a circle and cut into eight triangles. Before putting the scones in the oven I brushed the tops with heavy whipping cream and sprinkled with granulated sugar. I followed the remainder of the recipe as written.
My two boys got a kick out of this recipe. I had never used lemon-lime soda in a scone recipe, so I was intrigued by the concept. The scones turned out moist and delicious and the dried cranberries made a delicious addition. The best part of the recipe is that it only has 3 ingredients (4 if using dried cranberries). A very quick and easy scone recipe, that turns out light and perfect for breakfast.
For the recipe go to Easy Scones.

Yesterday my daughter came home from her 10 days in Texas... she loved it, as I was afraid she would! We had a nice remainder of the day as all of us had some family time in the pool, cooked some burgers and just had a nice time together as a family.
We leave for this Friday! Can't wait to see everyone! I wish my husband could have gotten the time off to come with us the same day, it'll be our 10 year anniversary on the 4th and we won't be together ;-(
I have a ton to do, packing, cleaning, and studying! Somehow I have to fit in my midterm and all this work I agreed to do this week. Working Monday & Tuesday at the customer service job, from 6 to 12:30 then off to the Respite job until 5:00ish then Wed and Thursday its just respite... however, I need to do all that cleaning and packing and studying during that time too. I hate ALGEBRA!
I did manage to get an extension on the week's assignments while I am gone so I don't have to worry about school work while on vacation. That's nice. Now to just get through the midterm!
I need to study but I have such a headache right now, even Motrin isn't touching it. I'm afraid that my BP is starting to get a bit wonky! Its hard to manage formula memorization with a migraine!

(JTA) Former US president George W. Bush told a Jewish gathering that he did not trust the Iranian regime to change its intentions toward Israel.
"I will not believe in Iran's peaceful intentions until they can irrevocably prove that it's true," Bush told the 1,200 guests at the gala of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, according to several people in attendance. "The United States' foreign policy must be clear eyed and understand that until the form of government changes in Iran, it is unlikely that their intentions toward Israel will change."

Why You Should Pursue A Foreign Language in College
Learning a foreign language is one of life's most exciting experiences that I truly believe everyone should take advantage of.
I am currently learning American Sign Language because I needed to take a language in order to graduate. I'm so thankful it was a requirement because had I not taken it, I would have missed out on such an amazing part of college.
Whether it's a requirement or not, I really suggest looking into learning a language while you're in college. I know taking on a whole new language is hard work, but I assure you that it's worth it in the end. The experience is a challenging one, but it exposes you to a whole new world of culture and people. Not to mention, bilingualism looks fantastic on a resume.
A very close friend of mine, Ryann Fromknecht, is at this moment studying abroad in Grenada, Spain (See? Taking a foreign language can bring you to amazing places). She is currently a bilingual education major and the founder of UNICEF @ Illinois State.
I was so fortunate that Ryann was able to take some time out of her busy schedule in Spain to answer some important questions about being a bilingual student. Hopefully after reading about Ryann's thoughts and experiences, the idea of acquiring a new language won't be so daunting.
Question #1: What made you want to pursue bilingualism in college?
I was originally interested in teaching in a mainstream elementary classroom, but learned about bilingual education through my university. At first, I was unsure about pursuing bilingualism because I didn't feel like I was proficient enough in a second language to work in a classroom with ELLs (English language learners).
I decided to take the introductory course to bilingual education that fall, and I fell in love! I declared my major, and my career aspirations have led to my pursuit of bilingualism (and maybe even multilingualism!).
When I saw what a difference being bilingual could have on my future students; not only with communicating with them and their families, but also by showing them that I value their culture, I was instantly motivated to become bilingual! Bilingualism has many benefits, I can not advocate it enough.
Question #2: What attracted you to learning Spanish?
I thought being able to speak Spanish would be a useful skill to have. Spanish is the home language for a large population of U.S. citizens, and this number is growing. Overall, we are a very culturally and linguistically diverse country.Spanish is only one of these languages that is heavily spoken.
I do think that for current, and pre-service teachers, Spanish is an important tool to have considering the number of children in public schools that speak it. Since learning Spanish I have been able to work with many ELLs in public schools, and I have found many other purposes for it.
Question #3: What are the best parts of learning another language?
I can't even begin to explain all of the perks that come with being bilingual! I really would like to be multilingual. I think one of the best aspects of speaking a second, third, fourth.. language is everything that comes with the language.
Language is more than a list of nouns, verbs, tenses etc. Instead it comes with many sociocultural aspects as well. There are things that don't directly translate into English because they mean something to the culture of the language. I find this so interesting.
I also love being able to communicate with others! Spanish allows me to interact with new people, and take on new opportunities. I have learned so much from being bilingual about culture, about people, and have made so many wonderful friendships!
Question #4: What advice can you give to others who want to learn another language?
Start now and immerse yourself! If you are motivated to learn a language, and see a use for it, you are more likely to become proficient. I volunteered at an after school program that many Spanish speaking students participated in.
Many programs at libraries, community centers etc. are looking for volunteers who speak Spanish (even a little Spanish)! Participating in these opportunities or other volunteer programs, allow you to practice using the target language.
Studying abroad, if possible, is also an amazing experience. I am currently studying abroad in Spain, and I'm enjoying every second of it. Using a target language everyday really makes a difference.
It's important when learning a language to take risks! Put yourself out there. I was very shy when speaking Spanish for years. Now that I am living in Spain, I need to use my Spanish to communicate with my host family, baristas, teachers and others. My Spanish has really improved!
Question #5: How do you think learning another language will prepare you for life after college?
I think learning another language has benefited me in countless ways. Overall, it has made me into a more well-rounded person, and enhanced my college experience. Through my pursuit of bilingualism I have been exposed to diversity I hadn't experienced before. I learned more about others, and even about myself.
Learning another language is a great skill to have in job searching as well. It certainly makes you more marketable. Some employers today only consider applicants who are able to speak a second language. I know in the field of education, this is getting more and more important in certain areas of the country.
Now that I have lived in Europe, I have realized how many people here are bilingual or even multilingual. Fortunately, I believe the United States is becoming more accepting and encouraging of bilingualism every day. Being bilingual is wonderful, and opens many doors for you after college.
As you can see, the journey to bilingualism can be an exciting, challenging and life changing experience. Anyone who is passionate about the language will only benefit from all its rewarding aspects.
Thanks again to Ryann for taking the time to share with us her experiences and thoughts on bilingualism!
Thinking about pursuing a second language now?
