Jane (Meryl Streep), who owns a successful bakery in Santa Barbara, California, and Jake Adler (Alec Baldwin), a successful attorney, divorced ten years earlier. They had three children together, two girls and a boy, who are grown. Jake, who was cheating on Jane, married the much younger Agness (Lake Bell).Jane and Jake attend their son Luke's graduation from college in New York City. After a dinner together, the two begin an affair, which continues in Santa Barbara. Jane is torn about the affair; Jake is not. While Agness has Jake scheduled for regular sessions at a fertility clinic, Jake is secretly taking medication to increase sperm count for fertility, a side effect of which can cause dizziness. After one of his sessions he has a lunchtime rendezvous with Jane at a hotel. Jake collapses in the hotel room and a doctor is called. The doctor speculates that the reason for Jake's distress may be the medication and says he should stop taking it. Jake and Jane's children know nothing of the affair, but Harley (John Krasinski), who is engaged to their daughter Lauren, spots the pair and the doctor in the hotel, but keeps silent.Adam (Steve Martin) is an architect hired to remodel Jane's home. Still healing from a divorce of his own, he begins to fall in love with Jane. On the night of Luke's graduation party in Santa Barbara, Jane invites Adam to the party. She is stoned when he picks her up because she has smoked a marijuana joint that Jake had given her earlier. Before going into the party, Adam smokes some of the joint with Jane. Once inside, they are laughing and happily high, Jake becomes jealous observing them, and after pressing Jane, smokes some with her also.Agness then observes Jake and Jane dancing together and realizes they are having an affair. When they leave the party, Adam asks Jane if they could have something to eat. Jane takes him to her bakery and they make chocolate croissants together. Jake and Agness separate, although it is not clear who leaves whom. Eventually by a webcam in Jane's bedroom, Adam sees Jake naked and realizes that the two have been having an affair. Adam tells Jane he cannot continue seeing her because it will only lead to heartbreak. Jane's kids also find out, and they are not happy about Mom and Dad getting together again because they are still recovering from the divorce. Jane tells them she is not getting back with Jake. Jane and Jake talk and end their affair on amicable terms. The film ends with Adam at Jane's house ready to commence the remodeling. Before the credits roll, Jane and Adam are seen laughing about the chocolate croissants while walking into her house.It's Complicated couldn't have succeeded without Nancy Meyers finally showing what good writing can do with the right people, time, and effort put into place. It's the work of her career and she remains a dark horse for an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Though the film will definitely appeal to an older generation, the younger can appreciate the zeal and comical dialogue shared between the players. The film does run a bit long and loses some of it's spark in the finale act, but it's pure entertainment.

FICO Secures Patents for Antifraud Platform
June 23, 2014
A patent for fraud scoring online transactions is among 25 recently awarded to data analytics technology provider FICO. The patents, which bring the total number in its portfolio in the U.S. to 167, pertain not only to fraud detection, but to cybersecurity, predictive analytics and decision management. Many of the technologies described in the patent applications are used in the company's Falcon antifraud platform.
"FICO has been the innovator in payments fraud for more than 20 years," said T.J. Horan, vice president of FICO's fraud solutions. "Our team's inventions are expanding our ability to defeat fraud in multiple industries, and improve cybersecurity for every consumer who transacts online."
One of the patents is for a real-time score indicating the probability that a computer used in an online commercial transaction is associated with past online transactions for that client, utilizing network behaviors between a webserver and a client computer. Another was for an invention that maintains a pre-defined fixed score distribution enabling improved fraud detection. FICO said its Falcon platform uses this technology "to adjust score distributions impacted by changes in fraud rates/patterns, spending patterns and macro-economic changes in card usage, and holiday pattern score shifts."

The Pawnee Buttes are probably one of Colorado's most classic icons. Standing about 300 feet high, these free standing hills are located in the Pawnee National Grasslands in northeastern Colorado. They are made of sedimentary rock and clay which gives them an almost chalk like texture and appearance
Getting the buttes means hiking several miles on trails in the grassland. It is about 5 miles from the trail to the buttes; the east butte is about 4 miles off the trail and the other butte is farther away. If you want to hike to the Pawnee Buttes, you should make sure that you know where you are going! Since the Buttes are in the middle of nowhere, it is best that you have a map and either a great sense of direction or a compass. You do not have to pay to view or hike the Pawnee Buttes. However, hiking the buttes is extremely challenging and should only be done by experienced climbers.
Be aware the from March 1st to June 30th, the Pawnee Buttes are closed to due nesting raptors. Although some visitors do illegally enter the area anyway, it should not be done. Visitors should be respectful and obey signs in the area that warn about trespassing.
You can also camp on the grasslands except at the trailhead and within 200 feet of streams or trails. There are fees to camp at Crow Valley, but otherwise, camping is free. Water is available at Crow Valley only during the warmer spring and summer months. Otherwise, you should bring water in if camping. Remember that streams in the area are used quite extensively by cattle. If you decide to drink from the streams, either filter the water, or drink at your own risk. Sometimes, there are fire bans in the area due to dry conditions. Since the plains are windy and dry normally, all fires should be carefully tended even if there is no fire ban.
The area surrounding the buttes is full of fossils and over 100 species have been found. The first man to look for fossils here was O. C. Marsh from Yale's Peabody Museum. The first expedition he led visited the area in 1870. He also led several other expeditions to the area after that. Remember that any fossils that you may find are protected by law and must stay where they are.
Most people who do visit the buttes do so to bask in the glory of the quiet. If you do visit, leave your cell phones, computer games, and other electronic devices at home and enjoy the deafening sound of the quiet along with them.

Frying leftover rice with garlic makes it appetizing. This dish is usually served during breakfast.
This was really easy and fairly quick too. I added in a handful of frozen peas/carrots and this made a meal in one pan. I thought it needed a little more flavor like some chicken boullion , onion or maybe sesame oil and a bit more soy sauce. Overall this was a good dish and my family enjoyed this. - 29 Apr 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
this recipe was great but i add onion, sweet paper and some sweet peas and carrots and i add some extra seasoning but it was very great my family loved it - 01 Sep 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Really good. Simple yet very flavorful with the garlic. Would make again. Thanks for the recipe! - 12 Apr 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

Legal Status
Document Details
Published Document
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") [1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] notice is hereby given that, on January 14, 2011, NYSE Amex LLC (the "Exchange" or "NYSE Amex") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to adopt standards for Market Maker electronic quotes that are present during an opening auction. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.nyse.com.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of this filing is to adopt rules governing quote widths for Market Start Printed Page 4962Maker electronic quotes that are present during an opening auction, based on a provision of the Rules of NASDAQ OMX PHLX ("Phlx"), by revising the Obligations of Market Makers in Rule 925NY.
Currently, the only restriction on quote widths for NYSE Amex Market Maker electronic quotes is that they be no more than $5 wide. The Exchange has found that the absence of more narrow quotes during an opening auction has prevented series from opening promptly and is unnecessarily delaying the execution of orders.
The Exchange proposes to adopt a provision based on Phlx Rule 1014(c)(i)(A)(2)(a). The Phlx rule sets the maximum bid/ask differential for electronic quotes at $5, but also requires electronic quotes that are submitted during an opening rotation to have a bid/ask differential that is consistent with the quote width requirements for open outcry trading. NYSE Amex intends to modify the requirements of NYSE Amex Rule 925NY(b) [3] to also apply them to quotes submitted for possible participation in a Trading Auction as defined in Rule 952NY.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes that an electronic quote that is submitted for possible participation in an opening auction must have a bid/ask differential of no more than:
(A) .25 between the bid and the offer for each option contract for which the bid is less than $2,
(B) No more than .40 where the bid is $2 or more but does not exceed $5,
(C) No more than .50 where the bid is more than $5 but does not exceed $10,
(D) No more than .80 where the bid is more than $10 but does not exceed $20, and
(E) No more than $1 when the last bid is $20.10 or more.
These differentials are common in the options industry,[4] and are often referred to as "legal width".
As is currently the case, different bid/ask differentials would be permitted to be established, but only with the approval of at least two Trading Officials.
The Exchange believes that setting a narrower differential for opening auction quotes will expedite the opening of all options series on the Exchange promptly after the opening of the underlying security.
NYSE Arca [sic] will implement this rule change upon notification to OTP Holders through the issuance of a Regulatory Bulletin.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) [5] of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) [6] in particular in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest, by expediting the opening auction process and the execution of Customer orders submitted for the opening.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (1) Does not significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on competition; and (3) by its terms does not become operative for 30 days after the date of this filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [7] and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.[8]
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:
Electronic Comments
- Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml); or
- Send an e-mail to email@example.com. Please include File Number SR-NYSEAmex-2011-05 on the subject line.
Paper Comments
- Send paper comments in triplicate to Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549-1090.
All submissions should refer to File Number SR-NYSEAmex-2011-05. This file number should be included on the subject line if e-mail is used. To help the Commission process and review your comments more efficiently, please use only one method. The Commission will post all comments on the Commission's Internet Web site (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments, all written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that are filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating to the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person, other than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for Web site viewing and printing in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Copies of the filing also will be available for inspection and copying at the principal office of the Start Printed Page 4963Exchange.[9] All comments received will be posted without change; the Commission does not edit personal identifying information from submissions. You should submit only information that you wish to make available publicly.
All submissions should refer to File Number SR-NYSEAmex-2011-05 and should be submitted on or before February 17, 2011.Start Signature

3. While our proposed rule text is not exactly identical to Phlx Rule 1014(c)(i)(A)(2)(a), the intent and impact of the rule is the same—namely, to provide for narrower quotes during an opening auction, which in turn helps facilitate a prompt and efficient opening. As discussed below, we believe that this proposed rule change qualifies for immediate effectiveness as a "non-controversial" rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4. 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).Back to Citation

In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The Exchange has fulfilled this requirement.Back to Citation

Debate Rounds (5)
Comments (2)

First, I would like to clarify exactly what the debate is about. I am assuming it is purely that "The vending machines should be removed", rather than "Junk food is bad for kids", because the two statements are not necessarily exclusive. One can believe that junk food is unhealthy whilst believing the vending machines should stay, or one can believe that junk food is fine, but still want the vending machines removed for other reasons.
I will be arguing that the vending machines should stay, rather than arguing that junk food is good for kids. My view is that chocolate, sweets and fizzy drinks are not the optimal diet for a child, or indeed anyone, but I will be arguing in favor of keeping the vending machines in school anyway, as they are not only the preferred drinks for most kids in general, but what they are likely to be most used to drinking outside of school. That's why they're there in the first place - they're what kids want, and what kids like, therefore they make money.
The decision to force kids to abstain from what they prefer dietary wise should be the decision of the parents alone, not the school.
In support of the keeping the vending machines I will offer the following additional points:
1) School is not just a place of learning, it is a place of preparation. Kids are essentially being given the skills needed to survive and thrive in the real world. The real world contains vending machines - lots of them. By being exposed to things that exist in the real world, they can be taught how to make dietary decisions wisely.
2) Children are rebellious. If you prevent them access to the foods and drinks they enjoy, not only are they likely to get these things elsewhere, perhaps in a less controlled manner, but they are likely to resent you for violating their sense of freedom.
In a recent case here in England, a student was banned because he was making about $50 a day selling fizzy drinks in a school that had banned them. He bought them in bulk outside of school, and sold them in secret in the playground. Funny how school often mirrors the real world, isn't it. Echoes of the war on drugs, perhaps.
Children are just younger less learned versions of adults after all, and we should be careful not to treat them as a different species entirely. We don't ban vending machines in the real world, or the adult workplace, so we need a good reason to do so in schools, and I don't think great reasons exist.
Even if such a student did not exist, more children would leave school premises at lunch times and buy sweets from local shops.
3) Vending machine foods and drinks while not optimal, are not particularly harmful. The machines usually contain mineral water for kids who wish to drink healthily, and for the others, the fizzy drinks are a nice reward for the children.
Is your plan to ban fizzy drinks altogether, or only remove the vending machines? Should we check lunches to make sure there are no sweets, or foods we deem "not healthy enough"?
As for the obesity epidemic, I do not agree that fizzy drinks in schools are a significant part of that problem.
If we make a change at school where kids are at for at least 8 hours a day, five days a week then they can still making a change when they are at home for the rest of the hours. Giving out healthy balanced meals at school will help the kids to stop wanting to eat foods like french fries, chicken patties, cookies and other junk food like that.
I don't believe students should be able to drink fizzy drinks during school, the lunches should we checked to make sure it is healthy enough for students.
Let's stick with the "banning fizzy drinks" argument, because I don't agree with that part at least.
Studies show that caffeine, rather than being really bad for the children's learning process, can actually benefit them in a few important ways, in memory, concentration and energy.
An example:
I think you have a way to go to justify the removal of fizzy drinks.
As for checking lunches, who gets to decide what is "healthy enough"? The idea does not seem workable, and forcing children to eat certain foods and drinks is not the way to go.
"Giving out healthy balanced meals at school will help the kids to stop wanting to eat foods like french fries, chicken patties, cookies and other junk food like that."
I don't agree with this at all, if anything once they leave a place where these things are banned the first thing they are going to buy at their local shop is fizzy drinks and sweets. Healthier food alternatives are not a bad idea, but again, these subjects should be up to the parents and the children in secondary schools are certainly old enough to have a say in their dietary choices too. By all means give children healthy options, but banning the foods they like is going to cause far more problems than it solves.
As the role of the government because Nearly 300,000 people die each year from complications associated with being obese or overweight. They should take the role to help solve these problems, starting with children at school. As the government they have an responsibility to help our society to promote good nutrition and healthy eating so we can try to stop children to becoming obese.
You have not shown that fizzy drinks at school lead to obesity, or that forcibly preventing students from drinking them is a viable solution to that problem. You have also not shown that any of these ideas are workable, or that they are ample compensation for the problems your suggestion will cause.
You have also failed to address the learning advantages of caffeine intake, with memory and concentration improvement, or shown that the converse is true, that it interferes with the child's ability to learn.
I do not think you have made your case here.
"We drink soda like water," said Harold Goldstein of the Center for Public Health Advocacy, which also took part in the study. "But unlike water, soda serves up a whopping 17 teaspoons of sugar in every 20-ounce serving."
Soda has a lot of caffeine in it even though it tends to wake up the body, which makes you more alert. Drinking large amounts of caffeine can cause nervousness, sweating, testiness, upset stomach, anxiety and insomnia. With all of the sugar in the drink it can make you hyperactive and can cause fuzzy thinking.
At the very best due to its caloric content fizzy drinks could be considered a very small contributing factor to obesity. Do you know what the biggest contributing factor is? Food! ;)
To put it more precisely, excess is the problem. Banning fizzy drinks does not stop the problem of excess, it merely forces children to comply rather than teach them to be responsible about their own dietary habits. Once they are out of school, those restrictions disappear, and the bad habits of excess return in abundance.
It reminds me a little bit about the problem of teen pregnancy. The biggest cause of teen pregnancy is contact with boys, very close contact. By your reasoning, we should segregate the schools and separate the girls from the boys. That would cause less teen pregnancy, wouldn't it? Or would it make it even more desirable to seek the company of boys once school ends? I suspect the latter, but in either case, teaching the kids about sex is a far better method than banning boys, as boys, like caffeine sodas, are fine when approached sensibly, without excess, and the understanding of correct behavior at the correct time.
As for the effects of caffeine, if caffeine and sugar were as bad as you make it sound, we should ban the substances altogether! I strongly doubt that is the case, and as a childhood fizzy drink consumer myself, I can say none of those adverse affects were present in me in noticeable or significant degrees.
Doing this is just an important step closer to tackling the nation's childhood obesity epidemic. By setting standards for the food and drinks that is served and sold in cafeterias and vending machines, we can make sure our children have the opportunity for a healthy start in their young life.

Alas, the weekend has come and tomorrow embarks the start of my 8-day journey. In preparing for my 8-day journey, I started being my usual fashion-hungry self and browsed online for things I
"need" want. It's kind of scary, crazy, sad, and stupid how I can't seem to differentiate the difference between what I need and want when I see an item I fall in lust with. Regardless, what I need/want always tends to burn a large hole in my wallet like the sinkholes that plague our freshwater sources. "Did you really just compare your spending habits to global warming disasters?"
Why not? Wouldn't you if you knew this was an actual problem?
"An actual problem like your spending habits?"
Okay, enough verbose verbiage to distract and hopefully entertain you. To sum up what this post is about, I quote my friend Sam who said this to our friend, Joe:
"Joe, you have the taste of fine wine but the budget of budlight."
I couldn't have better put it myself, Sam.
Joe, I feel you, bro :(
I'm sure you feel us on that too. Check out the bottom scroll for my latest up-to-date fashion lusts!

Black Criss Cross Bralette Top , Black Crisscross Short Sleeve Top , Stretch Rayon Crisscross Short Sleeve Top Black // T by Alexander Wang
BACK THE FUCK UP. These heels are amazing and I'm craving it SOOOO MUCH! Too bad they only start at a size 6 because I would have gotten it in a heartbeat. You guys don't know the struggles of having size 4.5 ninja feet... :(
Blue Alone Tonight Dress // Cameo | Blue Mini Jade Dress Sky // Elizabeth and James | Black Cutout Dress // Charles Henry
Wishing I had these dresses for my 8-day journey. (Hint: it's going to be a blog series about.... )
(Clockwise from top left corner): Vesta Cuff Ring Gold , Gold Isla Ring Midi Set , Gold Tira Cuff Ring , Artimes Cuff Ring Gold // Gorjana
Small, dainty rings from Gorjana are always lust-worthy.
Stuart Weitzman heels have always been one of my top lust-worthy brands. These nudist heels is everything I can ask for when it comes to strappy sandals. But for about $400 a pair, I'll have to save many rainy day funds before I pull the trigger on this one...although...you know that you would wear it to death leading it to be worth way more than what you actually pay for.
...Shut up brain. Stop with your justifications. #aintnobodygotmoneyforthat*
*(money = time)
If you follow me on Instagram (@eunique_kollection), you already know how obsessed I am with my cat. If you know me in person, you probably tag me or send me cat-related things that you find amusing on the interweb. I am proud to say that I'm a #crazycatlady. No shame. And with regards to this phone case, that fine line between need and want never existed.
Need. Want. Lust.

Tomorrow will mark Day 1 of my "8 Days in Sin City" series where I'll be documenting my 8-day stay in Las Vegas. I'm going to work at the WWDMagic trade show in the Las Vegas Convention Center (Booth #YC75323), so please stop by and come say hi if you're there. Although Magic is a 3-day event, I'm staying for the rest of the week and weekend for a friend's thing. Which means, I have about 2 days of me time and work time. So stay tuned and stay up-to-date through Instagram.
See you all in Paradise! ;)
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Now is the time to build your immune system–better than ever before!
In our modern society where so much knowledge and resources are available to us, the responsibility of taking care of our own health cannot be underestimated. The need for vaccinations (inoculations) or antibiotics is over-rated and antiquated.
"More people than ever are reportedly sick this winter, [1] including those who got their flu vaccination. But while the push for vaccination reaches a fever pitch, the hard evidence has yet again shown that flu vaccines rarely work, and when they do, they don't offer much in terms of protection."
How do you and others find more effective methods to preventing illnesses such as the flu and flu-like symptoms?
- Dietary interventions (that means leaving out the junk food and sugary drinks) and eating a more wholesome variety of foods;
- Making sure your vitamin D and your gut flora are optimized;
- Be sure you are washing your hands after being out in public, and before preparing food for yourself and others;
- Get enough sleep;
- Get plenty of exercise;
- To avoid spreading germs do you turn your head into your sleeve when you cough or sneeze? Do you teach your family members to do the same?
- Wash dishes right after meals to avoid bacteria from spreading;
Television doctors that are promoting the pharmaceutical industry without any mention about individuals susceptibility making them more prone to vaccine damage or the questionable rationale for vaccinating pregnant women, babies and all Americans each and every year is ludicrous.
Giving a sick person antibiotics for everything is not the answer, especially when it comes to getting rid of a virus. If a person gets a virus, it's best to let it runs its course. There are some really tough viruses out there because of their mutations since antibiotics came into being. You are not told about the side effects that result, i.e., neurological problems, etc.
We at Healthy Life Institute can help answer any questions you may have about where to begin to build up your healthy immunities. Call 801-358-4777 for help.

Please join our mailing list to be first in the queue for exclusive Special Offers and new arrivals!
100% Chardonnay from the lower reaches of the Brancott Valley and Fairhall, with a portion coming from Renwick and Rapaura, all located within the Marlborough region.
Fruit was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed using low maceration press cycles. The resulting juice was lightly settled and racked to 20% new French oak barriques. Allowed to undergo spontaneous indigenous yeast fermentation with occasional lees stirring. Underwent complete malolactic fermentation, transferred out of oak after 18 months.
Winemaker's Comments
An alluring combination of kumquats, peaches and yellow grapefruit melds with the more savoury aromas of almond nougat, vanilla beans and marzipan; an opulent concoction that is infused with a charry smokiness. The savouriness carries through onto a wonderfully dry, but rich and powerful palate that has great texture and concentration; evidence of this wine's low-intervention genesis.

Well, here's a supernatural horror movie I'd never heard of. Judging by its star ratings (2 on IMDb, 1 on Rotten Tomatoes) it hasn't exactly won over an audience since it was released. According to its Wikipedia entry The Presence is a 'darkly romantic ghost story'. According to one Amazon reviewer it's 'eerie and beautiful'. Indeed, one obvious disparity with its online ratings is the fact that Amazon customers seem to like it a lot more than others.
So, what's it about? The story is very simple. A woman, played by Mira Sorvino, goes to a remote cabin on a lake island to do some unspecified work - the latter is the usual remote cabin movie stuff involving reading books and making notes. From the start, however, it's clear that the cabin is haunted. This is because we see the ghost (Shane West) standing right there in the cabin from the start, a silent, melancholy presence.
The Woman (that is the credit listing for Sorvino's character) becomes aware of a presence as doors slam shut, birds slam against the outside toilet. She also finds a newspaper cutting in a book that's been mysteriously displaced. The headline, 'Escaped Criminal Drowns', is interesting because if this were a full-on horror movie it would probably be 'Escaped Murderer/Killer'. As it is we're given a strong hint that this ghost is not malign, or at least not simplistic in his/its motives.
Things get more complicated when The Man arrives - or, more precisely, the boyfriend, played by Justin Kirk. This leads naturally enough to dialogue, and we learn that the cabin has been in the Woman's family for generations. It also emerges that she was abused by her father. Things take a strange turn when the Man proposes, she accepts, but then a cliff edge collapses and they both neary fall off, losing the ring in the process. Shortly after she grows distant and eventually they have a blazing row.
At this point the ghost realises that something strange is going. (There's a sentence I never thought I'd type.) There is a second presence. A man in black (Tony Curran) is whispering nasty things into the Woman's ear. This malign figure is a demon of sorts, and tries to recruit the Ghost to his Master's cause. The deal he offers is simple enough and the Ghost nearly goes through with it. Without too many spoilers, a very traditional denouement occurs but there's a bit of a twist.
I can see why a lot of horror fans dislike The Presence. It's quiet, with lots of lingering shots of the great outdoors and a slow-paced approach, especially in the opening scenes. Writer/director Tom Provost resorts to hardly any jump scares. The score is firmly in the 'tense but not horrific' school, with much use of woodwinds in a minor key. There's no gore and the only violent moments take place off-screen (though we do hear a truly unearthly scream). And there's a final presence that some may feel is a touch too much, not to mention a bit of a deus ex machina.
As for me, well, I watched it to the end because I wanted to see what would happen next. I think it was time well-spent, and that might be the measure of a decent movie.

Spirulina contains a remarkable concentration of nutrients known in any food, plant, grain or herb. It has the highest concentration of beta carotene, B vits, iron, trace minerals and the rare essential fatty acid GLA. Containing all the essential amino acids we need & every other nutrient to boot. Gram for gram Spirulina is probably the most nutrient dense food that we know of. (On this planet anyhow)
Phocyanin is the main active compound in spirulina & what gives it it's velvety dark green colour. It has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, since inflammation is disease this is super important. We may not be able to remember or say the word Phocyanin but who doesn't want some?

Although is can be an acquired taste you do get used to it, my Son has been taking it in his smoothies and green juices for many years now and hasn't noticed yet! Horses,Cats and Dogs however can be completely different and sometimes seem like they can't get enough. As pets don't often get many choices I let them self select it adding more and a little water if needed, we do this once or twice a week usually.
Spirulina is definitely one to share don't you think?

Where do we start with Matera, Italy? This place is profound, undiscovered and incredibly beautiful. A town literally dug out of rock forming caves set against a backdrop of outcrops and gorges. The magic of Matera starts with its history, formerly the shame of Italy (we'll get onto this) the city has seen massive transformation over the past few decades from slum into chic cultural destination.
Matera's History is Unique
It's surprising when we were told Sassi di Matera (sassi meaning rock in Italian) was once completely abandoned. In the 1950s the sassi was condemned by the Italian government due to widespread disease and poverty. Even by Southern Italy standards, Matera was grossly impoverished. The 20,000 residents mostly lived in caves, had a literacy rate of just 10% and were often prone to malaria. Electricity or running water was also a luxury they could not afford. Residents were rehoused and relocated nearby at significant cost, the Italian government took ownership of the caves.
The shame of Matera kept the city firmly off the radar for decades. It wasn't until the 1990s that interest in Matera was rediscovered. First squatters, then artists moved into ramshackle accommodation. The city connected basic utilities and investment started to pour in. It now features up-market shops and boutique hotels, all leased from the Italian government. In summer it is visited by well-heeled Northern Italians on vacation. The future looks good for Matera, in 2019 it will be the European capital of culture so try get there before the tourist boom!
Look and Explore
Matera is beautiful from any angle and each viewpoint reveals something slightly different. Explore the popular viewpoints, get lost in the narrow streets and climb to the tallest church, the best time is at sunset.
Whilst in Matera you have to climb to the best viewpoint in town. The hike takes about 1h30 and is moderate difficulty. Make sure you wear some good shoes and take water as there is little shade in the valley. The route descends from the sassi down a cliff face, across a rope bridge and up again. Your efforts will be rewarded with an amazing view. You can also get buses to and from this point. After you head back into town, head to that all important post-hike gelato, our favourite place was Gelida Voglia di Artigianeria dei Sassi (Via del Corso, 114, 75100 Matera), the best dark chocolate gelato ever.
We stayed at The Rock Hostel, Via Santo Stefano, 96, 75100 Matera. The staff and travellers we met were amazing. Stay inside an actual cave from around €20 – recommended.

Multifunctional liposomes for enhanced tumor targeting.
A. Apte, E. Koren, V.P. Torchilin
Center for Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and Nanomedicine, Northeastern University, US
Keywords: Immunoliposomes, 2C5, TAT peptide, pH-sensitive, drug delivery
Abstract:Delivery of therapeutic agents mediated by nanoparticulate drug delivery systems is developing rapidly, an example of which is liposome based drug delivery. Cell penetrating peptides (CPP), such as trans-activating transcriptional activator (TAT), have produced positive results in vitro and in vivo as drug delivery agents, but undergo rapid degradation in body. However, a protective polymer on the surface of nanoparticulates can prevent CPP's proteolytic degradation and detach at a tumor's relatively acidic extracellular pH exposing CPP. Ability of monoclonal antibody 2C5 to target nucleosomes on tumor cell surface is also established. With this in mind, multifunctional liposomes were prepared containing on their surface: CPP -TATp-PEG1000-PE conjugate, long chain pH-sensitive polymer PEG2000-hydrazone-PE, and monoclonal antibody 2C5 linked PEG3400-PE. When pre-incubated at acidic pH, enhanced tumor cell interaction of these liposomes was observed, indicating TATp deshielding compared to neutral pH. mAb 2C5 on the surface further increased the interaction of these liposomes with tumor cells.

Places that add social, environmental and economic value to society serve as exemplary precedents and reminders of what can be achieved with good planning. Such real estate developments and outdoor spaces are created through a process that starts with a distinctive vision and stated purpose – much before pencil is ever placed to paper or brick to mortar.
EDSA believes that having a clear, well-thought-out and well-delineated vision at the onset of an assignment is critical to a project's strategic success and long term sustainability. Before anything happens, existing communities, key stakeholders, public officials, land owners, property developers and design consultants must define a vision that anticipates how a real estate endeavor will positively change the status quo. Visioning is not a roadmap – that's the purpose of planning – but rather a set of defined goals and expectations stated in a clear and simple way to describe why the project deserves to exist.
A successful visioning process results from answering some basic, but critical questions. What is the anticipated end result? Who will the end users be? How will they thrive in the places we help create? How will people, environment and economy benefit in the short-term and the long-term? What will the legacy of this project be? The point being, a planning and design process starts from a series of ideas and goals that focus on results.
Throughout our history, EDSA has orchestrated and facilitated Visioning Workshops as a master-planning and consensus-building tool. Through this process, we aim to understand the lifestyle, values, intent and purpose of a project as we collaborate to assess and establish a unified vision for development. This abbreviated, yet intense step in the design process is oriented toward providing efficient, focused solutions. When possible, it should involve a team of experts to address economic, environmental, political, market and social tendencies. It can also involve on-site design studies to identify site opportunities and constraints, infrastructure needs, circulation patterns, land use relationships and other key indicators or potential program elements from which to build the vision. This introspective process results in foundational design drivers and a phased program approach for master planning and design to proceed. It typically culminates in an on-site presentation to the client.
The Visioning Process influences the design strategy by aligning and defining the client's or stakeholder group's philosophy, thus setting the course for an informed and successful project design process and implementation.

studio insight
In today's global economy, design must navigate many complex relationships. For the Behling Studio, this means exploring how form and aesthetics impact viability and value. Real estate development must be a collaborative process between clients with realistic goals, and trusted consultants with whom alliances have been strengthened over time. Being conscious of other's needs and how you can help them, leads to career-long relationships. Out of these relationships, new business opportunities are generated and project implementation becomes easier. Asking the right questions, coupled with having a working knowledge of how things are built, and how subtle alterations in the approach and design can impact implementation, is required to be successful in today's efforts. The Behling Studio has a rich portfolio of built projects. They currently have seven projects under construction, including Four Seasons Dubai, Four Seasons Bahrain, Atlantis Hainan, and the Dubai Opera House. The best showcase of talent, skill, and ability is shown through the quality of built works. Bob Behling and his team credit their success to great clients, amazing projects, and talented colleagues with whom they've had an opportunity to work.

With the theme of Career Discovery, National Landscape Architecture Month (NLAM) 2014 spurred a countrywide movement, teaching children, young adults, and even teachers just how artfully landscape architects impact worldwide environmental and sustainable design. Sponsored by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), regional chapters hosted a series of public awareness events to bring attention to the overriding contribution our profession plays in helping improve quality of life in towns and cities across the globe. National Landscape Architecture Month also coincided with Earth Day on April 22 as well as Frederick Law Olmsted's birthday on April 26.

Zippers on my leggings- I love it!

Khelgaon, the most wanted destination for sports lovers is in a pathetic condition post PM's visit. It has been left completely ignored and looks more like a site left barren after use.
Administration made all the efforts to make Khelgaon look like one of the most well developed sports centre in Lake City. It was repaired, cleaned and made to appear as a high tech sports arena under construction(which it is supposed to be). Post PM's visit, admin has just ignored it like it was a load on their shoulders. Shrugging off the sports area Khelgaon's condition, Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria is reportedly organising a party for the organisers who made all the possible arrangements for PM's visit. The party is to take place on Saturday where officers of various departments will also be present.
Because of rains, athletic track is completely a gone case. It is in such a bad shape that people cannot even run on it. Since a helipad was made, the ground is lying half constructed and pits can be seen almost everywhere. The drain(naala) is left open and all the waste is coming into the Khelgaon ground. Temporary toilets are still lying uncleaned. The stench is unbearable. The extra gates of ground have not yet been closed as result of which animals keep entering. A lot of scrap and other waste material is lying scattered making it difficult for the players to go ahead with their practice. Some drains were made so that water doesn't enter the ground. Those drains are still lying open. Piles of dirt are still on the ground. Basically everything that needs to be taken care of has been left ignored. The point is that all party leaders and officers are not worried about anything anymore.
Khelgaon needs to be developed at the earliest for the benefit of public. It will also add to the city's place on tourist map. But if it lies ignored and works are done only at the arrival of some famous personality, it will create a blotch on the city's reputation.source and images : bhaskarnews

Who should see a chiropractor?
Almost everyone can be successfully treated and benefit from chiropractic care. Adults, children, athletes, women during pregnancy, professionals, elderly, and anyone who needs their body to work as well as possible.
What is a chiropractic adjustment?
Also called a spinal manipulation, a chiropractic adjustment restores joint mobility and function by applying a controlled force into joints that have subluxed or have become restricted in their movement. A subluxation is a partial joint dislocation.
Can chiropractic help me?
You will be glad to know that safe, effective chiropractic care is the best proven treatment for your back and neck problems. And you will appreciate the fact that you won't need prescription drugs or surgery. Chiropractic is the recommended treatment for back and neck pain according to exhaustive research by the Department of Health and Human Services (AHCPR).
Is my treatment safe?
Chiropractic has an enviable track record. Your treatment is one of the safest medical interventions possible. You are more likely to have a negative reaction to a prescription medication than to experience difficulty from your chiropractic care. Studies have shown that our patients realize high levels of success and satisfaction with their care.
What conditions can chiropractic care treat?
Chiropractic can successfully treat neck and back pain/stiffness, sports injuries, auto accidents, bursitis, headaches, muscular pain and/or spasms, sciatica, tendonitis, whiplash, pinched nerves, disc injuries, cold and flu, and many more.
Can children benefit from chiropractic care?
Yes! Children often have subluxation from the birth process and from the normal jumping, falling, and running of childhood. Chiropractic care successfully treats common childhood problems including headaches, ear infections, stomachaches, sore throats, ADD/ADHD, bed-wetting, scoliosis, asthma, and allergies.
Does insurance cover my chiropractic care?
Most insurance companies cover your treatment at our office, and you will be pleased to know that we do all the paperwork for you.
Is it bad to "crack" my neck or back a lot?
The desire to "crack" or "pop" your neck or back is caused by tension from a jammed of fixated vertebra. This may provide temporary relief, but it does not address the cause of the tension or the musculoskeletal problems.

Bears Do It!
Bears do it! They hibernate. And I have found that sometimes, just sometimes, people have to hibernate too. I have to admit that I've been doing a bit of it myself lately.
I've been introspective….quiet….sometimes teary…and just feeling like a couch potato. I realize this is all a part of life. The process of ups and downs and ebb and flow. But
in the midst of the hibernation, it can be somewhat uncomfortable. And of course, intellectually, I know the best thing to do is to just "be" but then the pesky inner voice starts in, "you should be writing", "you should be networking" and yada yada yada! So after even my sweatpants got sick of sitting on the couch, something just said, "Go rake the leaves." My husband typically (and thankfully) takes care of this, but on this not-so-cold fall day, I decided to put my down blanket behind and grab the rake.
At first it was a little overwhelming because my "perfect gene" started to rear its ugly head and I began obsessing about getting every last little leaf off the lawn. When I got sick of that, something amazing began to happen. I started to pay attention to the movement of my arms back and forth; and my feet as they stepped forward and then in reverse. And it felt like I was dancing to a rhythm and as I bent down to pick up the leaves I suddenly felt tears running down my face (nope it wasn't an allergy attack!).
And then this thought popped in my head "I am so grateful my body can move and I can do this! I am so blessed!" And I was overwhelmed with joy! I cried and said thank you, thank you, thank you! (Lucky for me, most of my neighbors were out to work and didn't witness it!) I was amazed at how, when I was ready, I felt moved to move. And in that movement and then in the observation of that movement (mindfulness), I found true gratitude and joy. I stood there and observed all the leaves; the different colors and shapes and this too filled me with gratitude and joy. So my hibernation period is over for now, sweatpants are in the wash till next time and I feel inspired to just be present and awake. And looking forward to the weeks ahead when the holiday festivities begin!

One of the things that currently exists within the Florida FIRST community that is fairly unique is our Alumni Association. This group, led by Barry Bohnsack, provides a variety of ways for students to continue their participation in FIRST programs after graduation. From volunteering with teams and at competitions to building competition-ready robots in a very short period, alumni have tons of opportunities.
We spoke with Barry about one of our favorite programs for alumni - the Robot in 3 Days (FIRST Robotics Competition) and Robot in a Weekend (FIRST Tech Challenge). This program encourages students at Florida universities to follow along with the game announcement video and build a robot for that game in a weekend. This season, at ROBOTICON Tampa Bay 2016, the Robot in 3 Days teams from around the state brought their machines for a scrimmage on the official FIRST Tech Challenge field. The idea of the program is to show current students what is possible with very little resources and time.
If you are a junior or senior of a Florida FIRST team, you can send an email to FloridaFIRSTalumni at gmail.com, or join the LinkedIn community and follow on Twitter to stay connected.

The "Meat PLUS" breed of sheep was the brainchild of Tony Rutter and the team at Tattykeel. It was designed to be run as a self-replacing flock (so as to remove the need to buy in expensive replacement ewes), have sensible lambing percentages (140% – 160%), tick the box for growth, carcass shape, evenness and good quality skins.
To achieve the desired outcomes, the following breeds were selected;
Tattykeel Poll Dorset's renowned for their growth rates, muscle pattern and doing ability. Poll Dorset's are the fastest growing and most acceptable lamb on the market, and have passed these attributes on to the Meat PLUS.
Texel ewes with Tattykeel bloodlines were selected for their exceptional length, strong black feet and docile temperament. Their carcass shape was also needed to compensate for a lack of shape in the East Friesian.
Tattykeel East Friesians were selected for their fertility and milk with particular attention to their shape and compact udders.
Using these selected animals to get the desired traits was not easy but the team stuck to their proven methods of stabilisation removing unwanted traits and expanding the desirable ones. Stabilising this composite was fast tracked with the use of Artificial Insemination and Embryo Transfer to get the breed type required. This is of the utmost importance as a breed will not be successful in the long term if it has too much variation.
Scanning technology for eye muscle area and consistent fat cover has figured largely in the development of the Meat PLUS, as has the all-important feedback from the retail end of the industry to make sure the product was suitable to the trade.
The exact mix of these breeds in the Meat PLUS will remain with the developer's secret (the secret herbs and spices).

Anthocyanins of two hawthorn species fruits: C. chlorosarca Maxim. and C. pentagyna Waldst. et Kit., were investigated by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS method. Cyanidin-3-galactoside, cyanidine-3-glucoside, cyanidine-3-arabinoside and cyanidine-3-xiloside were found. Overall anthocyanins accumulation was the highest in the case of C. chlorosarca fruits: 0.460÷0.620 g per 100 g of fresh fruits as cyanidine-3-glucoside chloride equivalent. It has been found that according to anthocyanins accumulation as well as to the antioxidant activity C. chlorosarca fruits are rather comparable to dried hibiscus subdariffa calyces and may be used for another tea preparation at some acidification.
The results below are discovered through our pilot algorithms. Let us know how we are doing!

I don't know about you, but summer always means vacation for my family. I'm a strong believer in regular getaways. I think it's healthy for body, soul and spirit. I can hardly remember a toy or gift I received from my parents, but I can recall a number of family camping/fishing trips, visits to national parks and even a trip to Disneyland! My family bonded around campfires, casting for trout and skipping stones. So, when I became a parent, I doubled down even more on what had meant so much to me growing up.
There's a biblical precedent for doing so.
Reading this, you may have just said to yourself, "What?! Where in the Bible does it say, 'Thou shalt take a regular vacation?'"
Well, it doesn't say it quite like that. But in Leviticus when God is delivering directions about keeping His annual feasts, He gives His people a rather quirky (by our standards) directive: "Celebrate this as a festival to the Lord for seven days each year … live in booths for seven days." (Leviticus 23:42, emphasis mine) In my Bible, I have this handwritten personal note: Similar to camp.
The Israelites probably had more permanent homes of some sort by then. To live in booths (tents) for seven days was to try something different, something a bit more primitive and yet fun and commemorative. Like camping, they had to think ahead about meals, clothing and activities. And notice God tells them to "celebrate" this time for a week (a great vacation length!). This was not some somber, down-in-the-dumps funeral dirge! This was a whoop-it-up time for R&R and spiritual growth. I'm guessing the Israeli kids could hardly wait each year to leave their homes behind and "rough it" in the family tent!
Assuming you haven't yet made your summer "booth" plans, may I make a couple of suggestions?
First, just do it. Whether it's to the beach, lake, mountains, desert or another country, just go! I can't tell you how many people I've known who use their two or three weeks of vacation each year to do something like paint their house, do some freelance work, or re-tile their bathrooms! If you go that route, your kids will remember your "vacations" all right, but only with a sense of feeling short-changed.
Second, if you are taking a vacation this summer, consider a tech-free one. Why not leave all the cell phones at home? (Take just one for emergencies.) Say no to electronic games, laptops, tablets and individualized earbuds/headphones (although accessing music for the entire family may be relaxing). With no phones and tablets, there's no temptation to check up on your work email. Plus, you'll never lose sleep that you may have chosen the wrong emoji or completely covfefed your last tweet! And if you have an RV (a rather nice booth!) with a satellite dish, consider pulling the plug.
But even if the non-tech vacation suggestions don't sit well with your wired-in family, please do get away this summer … or this year. It's a great way to bond as a family. A great way to experience more of His handiwork. A great time to catch up on a few books. A wonderful time to meditate deeper on God's Word, seek His face and pray more, too.
Also, if your vacation plans takes you to Lancaster, Pennsylvania or Branson, Missouri, consider taking in the Sight & Sound performance of Jonah (PA) or Moses (MO). Both are incredibly well done in their telling of their biblical stories! My wife and I recently caught the live performance of Moses and watched the video version of Jonah. We were blown away!
At Plugged In we're all about making wise entertainment choices and guarding our hearts (Proverbs 4:23). I write this blog because a great vacation can be great entertainment. What's more, because a great vacation can have a powerful spiritual (and family-bonding) component, it can go a long way to helping heal our hearts and cause us to be more reflective and open to the Lord and to others.
And if you do take a non-tech vacation, email me and let me know how it went (email@example.com).

The Human Protein Atlas, a major multinational research project supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, recently launched (November 6, 2014) an open source tissue-based interactive map of the human protein. Based on 13 million annotated images, the database maps the distribution of proteins in all major tissues and organs in the human body, showing both proteins restricted to certain tissues, such as the brain, heart, or liver, and those present in all. As an open access resource, it is expected to help drive the development of new diagnostics and drugs, but also to provide basic insights in normal human biology.
In the Science article, "Tissue-based Atlas of the Human Proteome," the approximately 20,000 protein coding genes in humans have been analysed and classified using a combination of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and antibody-based profiling, says the article's lead author, Mathias Uhlén, Professor of Microbiology at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the director of the Human Protein Atlas program.
The analysis shows that almost half of the protein-coding genes are expressed in a ubiquitous manner and thus found in all analysed tissues.
Approximately 15% of the genes show an enriched expression in one or several tissues or organs, including well-known tissue-specific proteins, such as insulin and troponin. The testes, or testicles, have the most tissue-enriched proteins followed by the brain and the liver.
The analysis suggests that approximately 3,000 proteins are secreted from the cells and an additional 5,500 proteins are located to the membrane systems of the cells.
"This is important information for the pharmaceutical industry. We show that 70% of the current targets for approved pharmaceutical drugs are either secreted or membrane-bound proteins," Uhlén says. "Interestingly, 30% of these protein targets are found in all analysed tissues and organs. This could help explain some side effects of drugs and thus might have consequences for future drug development."
The analysis also contains a study of the metabolic reactions occurring in different parts of the human body. The most specialised organ is the liver with a large number of chemical reactions not found in other parts of the human body.

The holiday's are upon us! This is my most favorite time of year and this year we are home to celebrate with family! I am so excited. I am cooking my firsts ever Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and from here until the end of December things are going to be as busy as ever. Today I thought I'd share this little Santa Starter Kit Addie and I made for our neighbors!
I don't know about you, but I am guilty of stretching myself too thin this time of year. There are so many things to do for the blog alone, add in traditions and family gatherings and I, like everyone else, am manic by the end of it all. So today, I'm sharing a way to at least take the guilt off of your plate.
Christmas cookies are one of my favorite memories from childhood. We always made tons of different types of cookies and decorated them as a family. When I became a mom, this was something I wanted to recreate for my kids so badly, and it is something that I feel eternal guilt for when we don't get around to it. So, in order to still make memories with my girls, but also save some time (and sanity), we opt for store-bought dough.
I love Betty Crocker dough because not only is it super easy, you still get the fun mess of making cookies like you do from scratch. Plus, you don't sacrifice taste, which is a major plus.
This year, we opted for the sugar cookie mix because they are great for icing and decorating! You can even roll this dough out for cutters and make any shape of cookie you want, as well as normal drop cookies- which is what we did.
Just follow the directions on the package and viola!
We took our cookies and wrapped them up to give to our neighbors! We created a fun Santa Starter Kit. We threw in a cute bottle of milk, some plates and a little tree along with our cookies! They loved it so much, and hopefully were encouraged to help spread cheer also.
What about you? Would you create a package for your neighbors or loved ones to #SpreadCheer? If you want, go ahead and enter the giveaway for a chance to win $20 cash for your own basket! All you have to do is share your #SpreadCheer story on one of your social channels (Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) as their only form of entry.

I am often asked to name a few things that I wish I had known when I started homeschooling. First, for those of you that don't know me, I am a degreed mechanical engineer with a fun sense of humor, a homeschool mom whose 3 homeschooled kids have gone on to graduate from college, and a driven woman – driven to find better ways for kids to learn. I should also say that I spent part of my elementary school years at Pensacola Christian School, originators of the ABeka textbooks.
With this knowledge of me, here are 6 things that I wish I had known when we began homeschooling:
1. That the most important lessons in life are not contained in textbooks.
2. No child of mine was "standard", and that should never be a goal.
3. We didn't need a schoolroom, desks, or anything else "school-like" to succeed with our goal of providing a broad and useful education.
4. If they don't have perfect cursive handwriting, it probably won't make them (or anyone else) miserable for the rest of their lives.
5. Siri can answer most "homework" questions, but she and all of the other aids on "smart phones" cannot be creative. Focusing on creativity and making connections and developing ideas are some of the things that humans do best – get them ready for the future, not the past.
6. Build the tree fort.
