Underneath of the paint has some traces of grey and black paint. The left side flag decal seems to be professionally liberated and most probably that was made by the last owner. In any case the decal is 100% original and the helmet looks great now. The helmet was sold by us 5 years ago, but the last helmet's owner decided to let it go, due of money problems. So, we bought it back and looking for new home for this beauty. Completed helmet with lots of character. Size 64 -57, but no markings are visible due the fat layer of paint.

OMAHA, Neb. — Andrew Beckwith matched his career high with seven strikeouts and Zach Remillard doubled and tripled in runs as Coastal Carolina upset No. 1 seed Florida 2-1 on Sunday in the program's first College World Series game.
The Chanticleers of the Big South Conference pulled the stunner against a vaunted pitching staff that sent to the mound two first-round draft picks, a second-rounder, a third-rounder and a 10th-rounder.
Beckwith (13-1), never drafted, had a dazzling, efficient effort, mixing sidearm and overhand deliveries. The Gators' only run in their CWS opener came on Jeremy Vasquez's pinch single in the fifth. Beckwith allowed two singles the rest of the way and retired the last 10 batters in the first complete game of his career.
He set down the 3-4-5 batters in the bottom of the ninth. Former Plant High standout Peter Alonso popped, out then JJ Schwarz and Mike Rivera grounded out.
The Chanticleers (50-16) play TCU in a winners-bracket game Tuesday. The Gators (52-15) will try to stave off elimination against Texas Tech that afternoon.
The Chanticleers got to UF starter Logan Shore (12-1) for five hits, two triples and three doubles. The Athletics' second-round draft pick left with none out in the sixth after Remillard's RBI triple put the Chanticleers up 2-1.
TCU 5, Texas Tech 3: Luken Baker hammered Robert Dugger's fastball just inside the leftfield foul pole in the ninth for a go-ahead three-run homer as the Horned Frogs defeated their Big 12 rival.
Basketball: Former Michigan State player Keith Appling was arraigned on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. Detroit police said Appling, 24, was arrested after officers stopped a fast-moving vehicle about 1:30 a.m. Saturday and saw him place a gun under a seat. Appling played for the Spartans from 2010-14 and had two 10-day contracts with the Magic this season.

Chrissy Teigen is doing a different type of cookbook and shared a photo for the upcoming book on Instagram.
The 29-year-old model is shown on a pool lounger with a plate of chicken balanced on her derriere, with her husband John Legend grabbing for a piece.
The model captioned star, who looked stunning in a pair of pink mirrored sunglasses, teased her husband as he reached for some chicken.
In a video, he is shown trying to help himself as she tenses up her butt and moves the plate out of reach.
The singer also posted a close up of her face, showing off her perfect pout with a vivid orange-red shade of lipstick.
Chrissy said of her cookbook, "This is definitely a different kind of cookbook."
The pair were also shown tucking in to some frito pie. Yum!
One of her followers commented, "How do u eat and stay so slim?"
Chrissy, who has been enjoying a European break with her husband, clearly doesn't have to watch her weight to closely.
Teigen shared a photo of the couple in Naples with a table full of various pizzas and wine.
The model told her Instagram followers that eating pizza in the city has been a long-held ambition, writing alongside the snap, "pizza in Naples #bucketlist."
We actually love Chrissy. She seems down-to-earth, previously sharing a photo of her stretchmarks to show she is certainly not perfect.

Finally, a cookbook with recipes for my family. The tofu chocolate chip cookies were a hit! Her cakes, cupcakes, and frostings were delicious. Highly recommend. The only ingredient I consistently ommited were the ener-G egg substitute. I am not a fan. Instead, I replace egg with either banana or flax egg with no problem.

Barberio set up the tie-breaking goal while on the power play in the second period. The Wildcats scored an insurance goal late in the second and held on for the win. Barberio has points in five of his last six games. Barberio is tied for 10th in the league among defenseman in scoring.

Season totals: 13 GP, 7-4-11, -5, 20 PIM

Season Totals: 11 GP, 4-2-6, +8, 2 PIM
Panik's short three game scoreless streak came to an end when he scored in the first period. Playing on a line with likely 2010 first overall pick Taylor Hall and Devils third rounder Adam Henrique, it should be just a matter of time for Panik to explode offensively.

The solution to this is disconnect the solar panel when the alternator is running so the controller doesn't function. This can be easily done by putting a switch in the positive wire leading from the solar panel to the controller. Alternatively, you could put in relay (closed when no powered) on this wire and wire it so the relay is open when the engine is running and closed when it is not.
There is another very good reason to put a switch in the panel to controller wire. The smart regulator reads the battery charge condition and sets the output of the alternator accordingly. If the solar panel is producing power, the regulator will see the net of the battery charge plus the panel output and thus may prematurely put the alternator in float mode. this will result in getting limited performance out of that big expensive alternator.

Welsh international Owain Tudur Jones is to have surgery on Tuesday, with cartilage trouble confirmed, and the big midfielder faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
The new recruit from Norwich City, who made such a promising debut against Hibs which quickly earned him a recall to the Wales squad last week, is stunned at developments.
"Owain sustained a blocked knee against Rangers and it has been diagnosed as requiring a cartilage operation", said manager Terry Butcher.
"It's a massive blow to the lad and to the club as we're looking at a six to eight week layoff. But Owain is determined and he'll start his rehab right away."
Jones had made a positive impression and has shaped as capable of adding a physical presence to the Inverness midfield unit. But now he faces being on the sidelines until October.
Owain joins Lee Cox, Billy McKay, Josh Meekings, Kenny Gillet and David Proctor on the casualty chart
"That means we have six players out, which is a dreadful start to the season in injury terms", says Butcher."None of the five who missed the Rangers game will be back within a fortnight so the squad is fairly stretched.
"Add on Ross Tokely's suspension and we're looking at seven being out for Pittodrie, which is a challenge."
Though still looking for their first SPL win of the season, the team has been playing well and Butcher says: "We're getting rid of all our bad luck at the one time, what with injuries and being unlucky in matches.
"We played poorly for the first 45 minutes at Dunfermline, but since then we've performed well enough. That shows that we'll be fine. I'm certain that it will click in to a more positive scenario for us. "

Interesting facts about online news reporting in present world
The trend of presenting news and keeping the viewers informed has changed drastically. Traditionally people used to depend on the news paper and then on television journalism to get all the information they needed. In present times online reporting gives better opportunities to present "breaking news" and keep the readers updated about all the latest happenings around the world. When compared to printed newspapers, online journalism has gone miles ahead and today huge amount of readers have been diverted towards online news. It is a cost effective way of reading news and most importantly it has started saving paper. People who like to adopt the eco-friendly way have always favored online news.
When it comes to education the students are mostly taught about the modern ways of presenting news to the readers. There are students that need to undergo training for shooting videos and uploading them on the website of a news journal. Modern ways of news reporting have increased opportunities and it has become expansive in its range. One does not say that print media will be depleted but it will surely get stiff competition from online journals as there are various modern ways of news reporting that are coming up. When it comes to advertising, the online media offers improved techniques to present the advertisement. One can easily present his services and the link to his website.

Stop trying to bear it.
Let it bear you, let it bear you to wherever it is going to take you.
You will be OK.
Sink into it.
Give yourself over to it, turning inwards with love and gentleness.
Give up expectation of how long it will last or how bad it will be.
Ask for love and support from anyone who can hold that space for you to just experience. Stay clear of anyone who will try to 'fix' it.
Just be there with your pain, be there for it, be there for yourself.

Over here in the good ol' US of A, we have in sports the phenomenon known as "bulletin board" material. I wonder if it exists internationally as well.
My guess is yes, and if England's World Cup soccer team has seen what took...
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- With less than a week till the start of the World Cup, teams are finishing their respective send-off series to Brazil. The U.S. just wrapped up their series in Jacksonville with a 2-1 victory over Nigeria Saturday, while the English national team faced off against Honduras in Miami later that day. The World Cup fever was in full force at both games as excitement for the tournament continues to grow.
In Jacksonville, a crowd of 52,033 fans showed up to send off their team with a third straight victory heading into the World Cup. In Miami, 45,379 fans showed up to the match at SunLife Stadium, almost as many as a normal Miami Dolphins game. A largely pro-Honduran stadium still saw a large British contingent, who littered the railings with flags from different clubs all throughout England's football leagues.
The stadium constantly had verbal wars as the Hondurans would chant for their side before England would follow suit. The stadium would shake as fans pounded their feet when any opportunity for a score would come. The excitement for soccer was palpable in the stadium and it will only continue after Brazil.
As stars begin to flock to Major League Soccer, the U.S. could be on the verge of a golden age of soccer following this World Cup. Especially here in South Florida, where politicians are holding up David Beckham's MLS stadium plans, the continued success of these international matches just goes to show how successful it can be in the area.
The World Cup is an exciting time everywhere around the world. It gives Americans an opportunity to share in a global event and represent our country with pride. Here in the States, soccer grows with every passing tournament. As preparations come to an end, the fan support for the sport is clear and after this World Cup, soccer attendance will only grow and the game will flourish even more in the United States.

Friday Photos is a professional company. The owner took very good care of me. He also made me feel very comfortable. I am impressed with their quality of photography work. I highly recommend selecting them.
I am a wedding planner, so you can probably imagine when I started to plan my own wedding, how much time I spent looking for a photographer and how incredibly picky I was. I like to think that I was in a lucky position compared to most brides because I have the experience to know what to look for and what questions to ask. I can't even begin to tell you how on top of things Jessica was. I could speak for hours on how talented she is and how insanely beautiful her work is, but that speaks for itself the second you look at her site. You don't need me to tell you. What impressed me most is her professionalism and how far out of her way she goes to "get the shot." Once you've experienced her how hard she works, and how much thought she puts in weeks and months before the wedding, it becomes really obvious why all her work is so beautiful and looks so effortless. In our initial meeting, she walked us through exactly what her process is on a wedding day. How she shoots, what she looks for, how she tries to envision your album while she's taking detail shots to make sure they have a consistent flow and color scheme, and that the lighting and mood tell a story. How she researches your color palette and pinterest boards before the wedding so she knows exactly what type of flowers and decor to expect to work into the images. She explained timelines and when the best time to shoot our first look and portraits was. She was so informed and helpful in ways that went beyond just the photography. We knew instantaneously she was IT for us. Before the wedding she sent us a very detailed questionnaire to fill out that asked about our decor inspiration, our timeline, who we wanted included in our formal photos, and basically anything you could possibly think of about the wedding. A few days before she called me and discussed all of it with me and mentioned she was going to do a walk-through of my venue to make sure she knew exactly what to expect. She also sent me a very detailed list of all the types of "detail" shots she takes and how we could pre-organize these items so they would be available for her to photograph as soon as she arrived. She reached out to my florist to ask for a few extra pieces of our florals and ribbons to incorporate into shoe shots, invitation shots, etc. As a planner, in my professional life I do a lot of styled shoots with photographers (photoshoots we do with other vendors for ourselves, not clients, to expand our portfolios)... and I realized that she treats every wedding like a styled shoot, with the same care and attention to detail. She even showed up with her own extra props to use that matched the colors of our wedding - serving trays, little cute ring dishes, jewelry boxes, golden hangers, ribbons, tiny decorative scissors!! She kept joking that she is a very "OCD perfectionist" but what it really is, is passion and a committed attention to detail and making sure every wedding looks beautiful - elevating even the weddings that maybe did not have as much budget for decor and all those extra little Pinterest details we all love so much. I have worked with a lot of photographers through my work, and I have NEVER worked with one that put so much forethought into preparing for a wedding as she does. Most show up and shoot what is there. My wedding was beautiful, and I put a lot of hard work into it, but it would not have been nearly as beautiful in photographs as she made it, without all the little extra touches she thought of that no one else does. As a fellow vendor, these are the things that impressed me most about her and I feel important to share with other brides. I also know that most of the photographers I have worked with in the past will give the couple's 300-500 pictures. Jessica gave me over 1,300 edited images. Every one of them beautiful. I have seen many talented photographers (though I'm biased that she is the MOST talented) but none that work as hard or deliver as far beyond expectation as her. After my wedding, my old referral list basically went out the door. I do not recommend anyone but Jessica to my clients now. Of the dozens of photographers I have worked with, she is above and beyond the very best. If you hire her, you're making the very best vendor decision you will make for your entire wedding. If you don't hire her, what a loss for you! Your cake and food will be over that night. Your photos and memories will last forever. If I could give one piece of advice as a planner, save on the things that don't last, splurge on the things that do. Good luck, brides!
Dave was the photographer for my wedding. Great pictures; lots of photos, good composition, and the color was really beautiful. Thanks, Dave!
Talented photographer, clean and well maintained studio. Monica was very professional and her work is excellent. She has a good eye for color and lighting. You'll enjoy her easy going and patient temperment along with the beautiful pictures.
I work at a university and JD volunteered to take pictures of my students at an event. The weather turned out to be rainy and cloudy, but the pictures turned out great! I was beyond impressed. JD was able to alter the color of the images so that they looked really good while keeping it realistic. He also did a good job of catching students in action and getting shots that told the story of how much fun they had.
Richard was a pleasure to work with and did a great job shooting our training videos. We will certainly use him again as his pricing is very affordable for the quality he produced.
Scott Bunke of Live Communications did a fantastic job with our videography. He is very professional and willing to go the extra mile. He communicated punctually every step of the way and produced a great video for us that we will treasure always. His goal was to do everything possible to meet our needs and he succeeded with flying colors! We will not hesitate to call on him for our banquet next year.
She created CD cover art for me with excellent quality, good eye for arrangement, composition, color... Very friendly, knowledgeable, professional, experienced. Her pricing is very reasonable also. I look forward to doing more business with her in the future!
We had a great experience with RL Cameron. Ashley took our son's newborn photos, and she did an amazing job. The photos were exceptional, and Ashley worked with all of our ideas. She edited the photos very promptly, as we needed a quick turn around. She went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with the photos- changing colors of blankets with photoshop, etc. The quality of the photos is among the best I have ever seen, and working with Ashley was easy and very pleasant. We will definitely be using Ashley in the future and highly recommend her.
I'm really happy with Nick's work! He had a neat gadget that sent the pictures straight to a tablet for viewing during the session, and I was impressed by how professional and confident he made me look, not to mention by his all around good photographic technique--color, lighting, depth of field, placement, etc. He knows his craft well!
Alen Jacob was the right choice for all of my photography needs. He went above and beyond to help me meet all the goals I'd set for my photo shoot, and his photography editing skills were equally incredible. I was amazed by the clarity of the picture quality, and his knack for drawing out specific colors to enhance the tone and image. He went the extra mile to look for my photo shoot sets as well. I'd requested a specific photoshoot with the city skyline behind me, and he found great rooftops and city areas to capture those shots. 10/10 photographer and human being, and would recommend him to anybody for their photography needs.
Anthony did an amazing job!! I needed a new website for a non profit business I was starting up which helped students get information and obtain funding for college. I met with him in person and he went into detail with me on how I wanted my site to function, what features I wanted, color palette, and everything. I left our meeting very confident that he would design exactly what I wanted, and I was not dissapointed. It was how I envisioned it, and if there was something not quite how I wanted it, he was quick to make changes until I was happy. He was very professional, and he asked questions I didn't even know needed to be asked. He took care of every detail for me and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I will definitely be working with Anthony in the future.
Eric & his camera guy were very professional yet down to earth. From the work I saw at his studio & online I'm more than sure once I receive my prints & footage it will be grade A as well. If that's the case I will definitely look to hire them for the wedding.
I would recommend this dj to anyone having any event. He was awesome, my guest dance the entire wedding. He played at my daughters wedding in coopers landing, and even though I had to have him set up twice and move he did it with no problem. He was the best . His price was very reasonable compared to the rest and he came thru with flying colors. Thank you so much for making my daughter Amber Vanaskeys day perfect .
I asked him to video of my banquet to celebrate 45 years of teaching and living in USA as martial art teacher.He showed up on time and stay till the very end to make sure to captured every performances in program. Also he offer me much lower price but did the superb job of everything. After experienced his high grade professionalism and technique I will recommend him highly to anyone looking for the videographer.
I have worked as a camera operator, DIT, assistant editor, and colorist. I know what is required for a fabulous image to be created. I am very familiar with successful production pipelines and workflows, and will do whatever it takes to make your project a success.

Cuterm 2.0
While I was still in school I wrote a tool that I have used ever since. I got the idea from Simon, whom had written a similar tool. It's a simple command-line tool that sits in the bottom-right corner of the screen and it's called Cuterm.
The way it works is that you can type folder names, file names, URLs or user-defined commands and it will just run. So if you type an URL it will launch the default web browser and navigate to it. It also has a simple file browser built-in so if you can type a folder name and you can navigate from there to the file you were looking for.
It's a really useful tool but it's been ridden with bugs and weird side effects, so I decided to rewrite it in C++ (originally Delphi).
Here follows a list of features, new and old:
Alias binding
Instead of having to retype long filenames you can bind them to something shorter and easier to type.
%bind dl D:\Download
This command binds the word "dl" to my default download folder. So by simply typing "dl" I can open it in explorer or by typing "dl" and pressing up I can browse it with the internal file browser.
File browser
The browser has been improved. It now shows a live thumbnail preview of any image you have selected.
You can quickly navigate the list of files by typing in characters. Like explorer if you press B you go to the files starting with the letter B and so forth. It performs a light-weight search algorithm to do this. I made it so that it would fall back on a partial search algorithm if the first one fails. So if I type in the word "Street" it can still locate the file named "169_streetfighter4_om_m1_022808_hd.wmv".
This is a new feature I've added. It lets you build more complex commands by offering attributes.
So if I type this:
%service wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search={0}&go=Go
…I get a new and easy way to search wikipedia:
wikipedia: Johnny Cash
The {0}-part of the URL will be replaced with whatever comes after the colon. You also have the option to type {1}, {2}, etc.. to insert individual attributes.
Send-to operator
I added a new operator (->) which executes whatever is on the right side with whatever is on the left side as an attribute. Basically an "Open with"-command.
Because of the smart parser I can type things like:
(1) D:\Image file.jpg -> photoshop
(2) mp3 -> winamp
(3) D:\mp3\Song.mp3 -> enqueue
(1) will open the image file in photoshop. (2) will open my mp3-folder in Winamp. (3) will send a single mp3 to a service called "enqueue". The enqueue service adds the song to the Winamp playlist rather than open it and thus erasing the existing playlist by calling the winamp executable with the /ADD parameter.
FTP service
As you can see you can use services for more than just linking to online search engines. For instance I found a command-line FTP program (NcFTP) that enabled me to hook it up to Cuterm.
So with a bit of clever binding:
%service myftp file:ncftpput -f login.cfg /temp "{0}"
.. I can now type this:
D:\Some file.jpg -> myftp
..which will upload the file to my ftp server without me having to launch an ftp client. This is really useful to me because I often upload files I want to share with my friends or link to from forums, etc.
Tools like Cuterm are more than the sum of it's parts. I've used it for years and now it's even better than before. I've been using the send-to operator a lot to do things now and the file browser is the way I navigate my harddrive.
In case you are interested of trying this out, send me an email. It's stable enough as it is but I haven't written any documentation for it and it's designed to suit my needs specifically so your results may vary.
Drive-thru debugging
This is a side note. As I was developing this (and still is to a certain extent) I bound a command; "debug", which would shut down Cuterm and open up the project in Visual Studio.
Once I had fixed the bug I could type in another command; "deploy", which would copy the new version to the correct folder and run it, while shutting down itself (ie. the instance created by Visual studio).
This created an interesting way of debugging. I would encounter a bug, type 'debug' and fix it then and there, then deploy it and resume with whatever I was doing before with the newer version running. I call this the drive-thru method of debugging.

Hitting the heavy bags won't skin your knuckles once you don the included boxing gloves, which also double as excellent spring-loaded props for re-creating Three Stooges gags. Class times differ depending on the studio: Midlothian classes take place Mondays at 8:00 p.m., Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:15 p.m., and Saturdays at 9:00 a.m. Richmond classes take place Monday at 7:30 p.m., Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday at 9:00 a.m. Chesterfield classes take place Tuesdays at 12:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., and Saturdays at 9:00 a.m.
To make sure your flab-blasting techniques are working your cardio system and toning your skeletal musculature with peak efficiency, you'll get a 40-minute personal-training session (a $45 value). A talented instructor will spend some time giving one-on-one feedback that will refine your form and help you punch through calories and walls in style.
Though iLoveKickboxing.com sometimes features discounted prices online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

One day, when I had only a 3 and 1 year old, I sat with a group of women in all stages of life. I was the youngest among them, and I had a reality check. We were planning an event for the youth in our church. As we discussed a date, one mom with teenagers opened up her calendar. It was FULL. I mean, full.
"So...you don't get more time in your life as your kids get older?" I asked?
She chuckled, "No."
I felt surprised and confused and wondered how that could possibly be.
When your kids are all older and in school, you aren't trading your current time with babies straight across. You don't trade your exact time with little ones for sudden free time. The older your children get, the more time they need from you. Sure, they can wipe their own behinds and grab their own glass of water. But they need you to run them to soccer practice. They need you to go sit through their piano recitals. You will find yourself attending assemblies and helping in class.
They won't keep you up at night as they fight falling asleep or wake up to eat, but they will keep you up late needing to talk out a problem they are facing or as you wait for them to come home from a friend's house Friday night.
You will have more time in the day to do some cleaning and cooking, and good thing you do, because you will need it! The more people you have and the bigger their clothes are, the more loads of laundry you will have each week. More people means bigger meals and more dishes. When you double a recipe, you increase the time it takes to make it.
You won't be carrying your child everywhere, but you will be driving your child everywhere. Even if you heavily limit the number of items your child is involved in to one activity at a time, if you have four kids, that is four things you are adding to your week. Things that take practices, performances or competitions, and errands to purchase what is needed for that activity.
It all adds up.
Life only gets busier.
Over the years, I have had several people tell me life only gets busier as kids get older. I have been counseled to take on big volunteering jobs at the school while my children were all younger because it just gets hard as kids get older (I have heeded that advice).
I have never been told that life only gets busier like I did the day I registered Brinley for Kindergarten. Friends, teachers, and even the principal at our school told me throughout the day that life only gets busier. Getting your last child in school does not lead to tons of free time. "It never slows down until they all move out" our principal shared with me.
So what is the point of this? Am I trying to majorly depress you?
Not at all!
I think this is a lesson to enjoy the moment. Do not wish your time away. Do not count away your days with young ones in hopes of having some major free time in a few years. It changes. It gets easier in some ways, harder in other ways, but never less busy. Learn to make the most of what time you have, because time is a commodity you won't have in excess for a long time. Learn to manage, prioritize, and work with the time you are given. Live in today. Seize the moment. Enjoy what you have, because tomorrow you will have different challenges.

Radian, LendingQB expand partnership on mortgage insurance services
Radian Group's mortgage insurance (MI) subsidiary Radian Guaranty and LendingQB have expanded their partnership to provide lenders easy access to non-delegated MI and appraisal services.
These integrations are designed to provide lenders with simple access to best-of-breed settlement services.
The Radian MI integration allows lenders to order Radian MI for delegated and non-delegated loans and get real-time rate quotes directly via one simple process through the LendingQB end-to-end LOS.
ValuAmerica, a subsidiary of Radian Guaranty's sister company Clayton Holdings, provides an integration for lenders to order appraisal directly through LendingQB.
Radian chief franchise officer Brien McMahon said: "At Radian, we are always looking for ways to make it easier for our customers to do business with us.
"This expanded partnership is a clear win for Radian's customers utilizing the LendingQB LOS, because it will provide a broader selection of services that can be delivered efficiently, helping lenders make their operations as lean as possible."
The integrations further enhance Radian and LendingQB's commitment to simplifying the loan process and providing added convenience and efficiency in obtaining top-quality settlement services. Clients have the ability to order appraisals as well as upload documents and track the status of their orders using Radian's online portal.
These new integrations add to existing services available in LendingQB's LOS platform, such as Radian's delegated MI. The integrations further enhance Radian and LendingQB's commitment to simplifying the loan process and providing added convenience and efficiency in obtaining top-quality settlement services.
LendingQB president Tim Nguyen said: "Providing easy access to Radian's products makes the lender's process more efficient.
"The ability to obtain quotes and submit orders for appraisals, non-delegated and delegated MI within our LOS saves lenders time by simplifying the origination process. It demonstrates how two companies can align their technologies to help lenders improve the overall lending experience."

You are inundated with the cultural message that you "should" Know. You should know what you want to be when you grow up. You should know who you are. You should know how to be a good parent. In our culture, a state of knowing is directly associated with high esteem. Knowing means you are smart, capable, credible, an expert. And yet there is a problem with drawing this conclusion…. Not knowing comes to mean you are dumb, you aren't capable enough to figure it out, and people have nothing to learn from you. You may have felt this way before – "I don't know, but that person over there knows, so there must be something wrong with me." Let's challenge that assumption – Is it true that not knowing means there is something wrong with you? No, this is absolutely not true. Being in a state of un-knowing is a typical state that most people find themselves in much of the time. Take a minute to think about it. Tally up the times you knew versus the times you weren't sure you knew …
Did you really know what sort of career you wanted or did you just fall into something? Are you so sure you know now that you are doing the right thing with your work-life? Do you sometimes question who you are and what you've become? Did you find yourself feeling uncertain with the birth of your first child – not knowing whether you should respond to every cry or wimper, not certain how to interact with this new being? Does your child display behavior that leaves you feeling baffled – where did they learn that? And how do I respond? Certainly there are also times you have known, have felt certain. That feeling in your gut just told you what to do. Or you did some research and knew exactly how you wanted to respond to your infant's cries, or that communication problem with your boss. We fluctuate between knowing and not-knowing. But what I want to reiterate here is that there will be many times you may find yourself not being sure, a state of un-knowing. And this, I proclaim, is Normal! It is normal, a part of the human experience and condition, to not be certain, to feel ambivalent or to not know what to do at all.
What is not 'normal' or helpful is expecting to know. Expecting that you "should" have figured something out. Expecting that you can solve the problem. Many people feel upset when they find themselves feeling uncertain on how to proceed with a situation or problem; you might feel anxious, or sad, paralyzed even. If asked why you were feeling upset, you might say "I'm upset because I don't know what to do about this." That seems like the likely conclusion to draw – I don't know and therefore I am paralyzed. However, I'd like to propose an alternate conclusion – What makes you feel distraught when you aren't sure about something, don't know how to solve a problem, is NOT the "un-knowing." What makes you feel distraught and inadequate is that you feel you SHOULD know. How do I know this? Because being in a state of un-knowing is a typical state that people find themselves in much of the time. It is not a weakness or a reflection of your self-worth. So, why then do we feel like it is a weakness and why does it feel like we are supposed to know. Because we get messages from TV, from magazines, from strangers, and even family and friends and ourselves that we Should. Have you had an experience where your toddler was having a tantrum in a public place and you looked around to find someone staring at you with an expression that communicated "you should have more control over your child!" When I gave birth to my son, I thought that breastfeeding would be easy. It's a natural thing, I thought, and my body and my son's body will know exactly what to do. When it wasn't easy, I felt like something was wrong with me. I should be able to do this. Why isn't this working? What's wrong with me?
On the flipside, if you have children you probably find yourself expecting them to be in a state of un-knowing most of the time. Afterall, they haven't lived long enough to know many things for certain. And we accept children as being in a constant state of learning. Accepting our children in their states of un-knowing allows us to focus our energy on teaching them and showing them how to do things – how to build self-esteem, how to choose supportive friends, how to manage their emotions. And accepting ourselves as adults in states on un-knowing results in the same – more energy to focus on taking care of and nurturing ourselves. What I'm proposing is accepting periods of not knowing as they occur throughout our whole lives. Because they will and do occur. Not just reserving tolerance for our children, but also having tolerance for our uncertainty as experienced and competent adults. And modeling this for our children. Think about a time your child didn't know how to do something and got frustrated – maybe cried, or threw something. We adults get upset when we expect ourselves to know something we don't know, as well. Wouldn't it be great to model for our children that it's OK when you don't know and it's normal and natural, throughout one's lifetime.
A huge shift occurs when we start being OK with a state of un-knowing, when we start to accept that right now, in this moment, we aren't sure what to think or do. It's not possible to know all the time, therefore expecting this of ourselves is expecting the impossible. What we can do is resist the messages that being competent and smart is contingent on knowing. Protest the army of thoughts in your head that tell you "you should know this," "my child should know this," "we aren't competent unless we've figured this out." Remind yourself that being in a state of un-knowing is a typical state that people find themselves in much of the time. Not knowing is OK and it's "normal." Right now, in this moment, you aren't sure AND you don't have to know right this minute. You have time to figure it out. You aren't alone in figuring it out either. All of your friends and family have not known what to do at some point as well (whether they acknowledge this or not is another story!). So, do some thinking, gather information, ask people you trust what they think, relax….Knowing is not a thing you have or don't have, it's a process of gathering information, learning about yourself, and trusting that you'll figure it out. Redifine "normal" and competency as accepting periods of un-knowing. Periods of un-knowing will pass. And you will get through these periods with less stress and increased self-worth knowing that it is OK, and you are OK. So, let us all go out into the world today, into whatever situations come our way, and say to world, "Bring it on. I might not know exactly what to do or say and that's OK." Love you're un-knowing self just as much as your knowing one!

It's Berry Season!!!
Berry picking with young children is a great way to spend a summer day. Try to expose your child to many new events to help them understand the world around them. Many children love to eat berries as a snack, so it's a great idea to take them to the berry patch where they can see how berries are grown. You'll be amazed at the new vocabulary your child will be learning! Remember to talk with your children as they are picking so they have a chance to learn new words. Ask them questions and encourage them to explore. Isn't that what being a child is all about?
Here are some tips for taking children berry picking:
1. Take a bottle of water for each person. Hard working pickers get thirsty!
2. Expect them to eat as they pick!
3. Take pictures of your kids when you first arrive. Be sure you squat down to your child's level to get the best pictures. You could use these pictures to write a home made book with your child on a rainy day.
4. Wear hats and sunscreen. The sun can be brutal in an open field.
5. EVERYONE should wear red shirts. Little hands WILL get wiped on their shirts and yours, too! And strawberry juice STAINS!
Once you arrive home and have had a chance to enjoy some of your berries, curl up and read a book together.
Here are some suggested titles:
Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey
The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood
Here is a YouTube link to someone telling the story!

What You'll Get
Today's modern world, with its plethora of countries, panoply of waterways, and constantly changing laws about what is and what isn't "mail fraud" is as confusing as it is stressful. Get a clear definition of relaxation with today's Groupon to Island Day Spa. Choose from one of the following treatments:
- $60 for a one-hour microdermabrasion treatment with an Aveda facial (a $125 value)
- $35 for a one-hour Swedish massage (a $70 value)
Island Day Spa's one-hour microdermabrasion session, performed by licensed professionals, exfoliates the top layer of skin to reverse the appearance of sun damage, hyper pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and minor scarring from forks missing the mouth. Removing the outer layer of the epidermis helps promote circulation and renew skin, revealing a fresher frontispiece. To keep your face aglow without balancing a candle on your tongue, an Aveda facial closes with cleansing, extractions, and a mask tailored to your specific skin type. A soothing Swedish massage, meanwhile, will make visitors feel like they're on island time as a licensed therapist aims the relaxing treatment to improve circulation, relieve sore muscles, reduce stress, and find lost remote controls wedged between the tendons.
Using all-natural Aveda body and skincare products, Island Day Spa's specialists transport clients's frazzled minds to a tranquil, island-like paradise free of life's clamorous ring tones and obnoxious cartoon woodpeckers. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.

World number one Serena Williams is on the right track to defending her Wimbledon title as she beats Swiss qualifier Amra Sadikovic on Tuesday. The match took longer than expected for the champion to take over, but a win is still a win, as she takes a step closer to equal Steffi Graf's record of 22 major titles.
She's been struggling prior to Wimbledon, yet remains a favorite to win, which is a testament to her capabilities.
ALSO READ: Serena Williams still Wimbledon favorite, expected to match Steffi Graf's 22 majors
Eight-times grand slam champion Chris Evert thinks the pressure of winning her 22nd major title is getting into her nerves, and it showed for a while as she faced Sadikovic.
Commenting on the match, former tennis legend John McEnroe said, "It was one of the worst serving efforts I've seen from Serena. This is what is giving other players hope."
ALSO READ: Wimbledon 2016: 'David vs. Goliath' Andy Murray faces Liam Broady
McEnroe also previously said that he feels Williams is putting unnecessary pressure on herself, which may be why she has been in a slump lately.
Amra Sadikovic is ranked number 148th in the world but was able to make Williams look uncertain at times prior to giving in at 6-2, 6-4.
Williams said, "I would be lying if I said I feel fresh, but I don't feel fatigue. I feel real hungry, super motivated, and extremely ready to do the best. I never underestimate any opponent. I always expect the best of myself."
It wouldn't come as a surprise if indeed the defending champion feels the pressure of winning her 22nd Grand Slam title, but she's still on the right track considering the circumstances. She certainly does not look concerned about her performance.
"I don't think it was tougher than I thought. It was definitely tough. She plays an old‑school grass court game. I knew that going in. So when you're prepared, it's always a lot easier than not knowing. It was a good start for me. I felt like it was a solid start to go in the right direction."
Serena Williams is looking on the bright side of things and her coach Patrick Mouratoglou says she's playing by not thinking about her place in history. "We don't talk about it at all. Zero." Mouratoglou said.
"Because there is nothing to talk about. We have a Grand Slam (title) to win, and that's what's most important. We don't talk about the reward, we talk about the work we have to do." He added.
Williams will be facing compatriot Christina McHale next.
Right now, that is all that matters.

Two free events designed to draw families downtown drew about 200 people each to their openings at the parking lot at Forest and Main streets.
Last Thursday, country music lovers kicked, scuffed, stepped and clapped at a country line-dancing party.
Then on Sunday the parking lot became a theater for the first of several ``Movies on Main'' with the showing of ``Hook.'' The movie had been rained out Friday, but a crowd still gathered for the rescheduled show.

0.5 Credit
This course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of the important relationships of economics to our social and political problems. The course emphasizes the philosophy, development, and operation of our American economic system and its important influence upon the individual and society.
Interest and concern with economic issues top virtually every public opinion poll, but Gallup polls show an appalling lack of understanding of underlying economic concepts. The lack of economic literacy isn't surprising. Seven out of ten adults in a recent survey stated that they had never had economics instruction in high school. Yet, of high school students interviewed in the survey, half reported taking steps in the previous six months to learn more about how our economy works. In addition, virtually all of those interviewed thought more economics ought to be taught in the nation's schools. The National Council for the Social Studies recommends that all high school students take a course in economics before graduation. Nearly half of the states have just such a requirement. The new state standards for high school graduation includes testing on knowledge and skills in economics.
This economics course has two primary objectives. First of all, the class is designed to provide students with an overview of business, finance, banking, investment, government's role in the economic system, labor-management relations, foreign trade, income inequality, and related fields. The knowledge and skills acquired will help the student make career decisions and make wise choices for further study at a college or vocational school. Students will gain insights into the advantages, disadvantages, and strategies of starting a business of one's own.
The second major objective of the course is to provide each student with the knowledge and skills to do very well in any college or vocational school economics course. At least two courses in economics are required for most business majors and a host of non-business majors. The course is appealing to students who are interested in history, math, or contemporary issues. The course is designed for all students to be successful. For individuals wishing to prepare for the advanced placement exam, additional readings and/or assignments will be provided at the student's option.

The second destination on our "San Francisco Day of Fun" happened to be conveniently located down the street from Craftsman and Wolves. So from one delicious place to another (and with very full bellies), we made our way to Dandelion Chocolate, which was abuzz with the grinding of cacao beans.
What makes Dandelion Chocolate so special is that they are one of the few small-batch bean-to-bar chocolate makers in America. They source their cacao beans directly and make their chocolate bars completely in house.
Unlike industrialized chocolate bars, Dandelion Chocolate crafts small batch chocolate that focuses on the flavour of the bean itself to provide its unique taste instead of additives to flavour their chocolate. Dandelion Chocolate is made only from 70% beans and 30% sugar, not even cocoa butter, vanilla, or lecithin, which are commonly found in other chocolate bars.
Thus, the beans, themselves, provide the characteristic flavour of each chocolate bar, similar to the distinct flavours that wine and coffee have. Chocolate is one of the few foods that is both fermented and roasted, providing a variable flavour profile.
Todd Masonis and Cameron Ring, the co-founders of Dandelion Chocolate, started out in a garage, growing their own small cocoa plants and roasting beans in their ovens. I always find it so interesting how artisans begin their craft — especially those that start from simple beginnings.
These are the giant cacao pods that contain the cacao beans.
The melangers, shown below, crush the chocolate nibs with stone rollers inside of large stone bottomed bowls. The nibs are mixed with sugar in these bowls for approximately three days until they are smooth and the correct micron size for optimal taste.
The chocolate is then tempered so that the crystals in the chocolate align and stabilize. If an untempered bar of chocolate is left out for too long, it will bloom (or turn white and gritty).
The chocolate bars are hand-agitated and then cooled.
The bars are wrapped by hand in foil and then wrapped in pretty paper that is hand-made in India.
Unfortunately, we were not there when a tour was being held, but there's a great little video on the website that explains the process, as well as these cool chalkboards that lined the walls.
Of course, my favorite part was all of the tasty treats that were made from their chocolate!
And once again, so beautifully and artfully displayed! I love these wooden blocks and trays and modern signage.
My friend bought one of these "Nutella-Stuffed Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies" to take home for my son because she knows how much he likes Jason's chocolate hazelnut butter — she's so sweet! I, of course, had to sneak a bite — so good with the gooey inside and sprinkle of sea salt on top.
My friends bought a s'more to share with her girls at home — she said it was delicious, but too small to share between the three of them.
We would have wanted to try more, but were so stuffed from Craftsman and Wolves — better planning next time!
Now that is a good-looking peanut butter jelly sandwich!
Cherry nib scone served with jam
They also serve some decadent chocolate drinks to pair with their treats.
Next time you're in the San Francisco Bay Area looking for something sweet, be sure to visit Dandelion Chocolate on 740 Valencia St. in the San Francisco Mission District (which I'm realizing more and more has such a cool food-scene — Tartine Bakery, Bi-Rite Creamery, Delfina) — I'll have to come back more often! Thanks, Dandelion Chocolate!
