Dear West London Fishermen's Union
My employers have insisted that I attend a net-working event. I'm not a keen fisherman and I haven't much experience of nets in general, so I'm eager to learn the basics. They just look like a load of holes tied together, but I'm sure there's more to it. Do you have any instructional videos I could watch?
Do you think the holes will be supplied at the event, or should I take my own? What kind of string do I need to make a dot net framework? Do you think we'll be able to make stockings? Will it be okay to wear the stockings at the event once I've made them? I'll bring stilettos and a fabulous wig, just in case.
Also, everyone in the office was recently complaining that our entire net-work had 'gone down'. Apparently it's come back up again now, but I still haven't seen any fish. Are we doing it wrong?
Best fishes,

J. Boudreaux says :
Boy, are you a lost ball in left field (for those of you residing in the UK that's a baseball term we Yanks like to use insinuating that you haven't got a clue) regarding Net-working. It has to do with television (or as you Brits so aptly, but misguidingly like to call the "Telly" [ who by the way was an actor who was in the Dirty Dozen and licked on lolly pops], not an electronic "imaging devise"). I believe your network is properly called the BBC (which by the way delivers some splendid telev . . . telly programming to us here across the pond!). I hope that this clears up your misconconception of the "fishing" aspect of the term.
Great post old chap! Cheerio and all that sort of rot. J. (Lord of Unworthington upon http://contemporarymusings.wordpress.com )

Education & Skills Project – Achievements to date
Addressing the Skills Gap
Our Education & Skills Group has brought school and college leaders together with employers to find solutions to the mismatch between what young people are learning at schools and what skills they'll need when they enter the workplace. One way we've done this is by building a new web portal for employers to connect directly with schools, called Step Up (www.timetostepup.co.uk). The site is managed by Form the Future CIC, a new social enterprise connecting schools with local businesses to enhance careers education and who are delivering the skills programme for the City Deal.
Step Up is designed to help young people think more strategically about their futures and provide access to opportunities through which students can improve their employability and careers awareness. Ultimately, this offers students a wider scope of career paths to choose from including promoting STEM subjects. For schools, the website becomes a valuable tool for directly linking with many businesses without having to source from multiple platforms. We are also ensuring there are links with other organisations that work with businesses on behalf of schools, such as Business in the Community, Founders4Schools, and Speakers for Schools so that this becomes the central hub for business/school activity in our area.
All this mirrors the ethos of Cambridge Ahead: get business engaged in finding solutions. In this case it's about giving their time to inform, influence and inspire students through careers events, mentoring and work placements. The scale of change in a place like Cambridge makes it impossible for schools to have the detailed knowledge of the emerging jobs and where the job opportunities will be in three, five, or ten years' time. But employers do and students benefit hugely when they speak with them directly. Form the Future acts as a matchmaker between schools and business and Step Up will enable all businesses in the region to play their part.
Schools funding
Our local schools in Cambridgeshire receive historically low levels of funding because the model used for funding has not been updated in 30 years. In 2015-16 we lobbied government directly to propose a redressing of the balance in line with other regions across the country and to demonstrate the important economic role of the Cambridge Cluster. The Government announced an update on the proposed National Funding Formula in January 2017 by which Cambridgeshire schools should gain by around £6.3m. However there would be a number of winners and losers at individual school level if this is implemented so we continue to monitor the situation. We have been working alongside the County Council in providing data that will help them put a strong case together for presenting a needs-based formula as part of the current process that is relevant to a growing economy.
A focus on Westminster
We recognise that influence decision-making in Government is crucial so we have actively engaged with our MPs for the region following the General Election in May 2015. We have built key relationships with MPs Heidi Allen, Daniel Zeichner and Lucy Frazer QC, who sits on the Education Select Committee. We continue to engage with them on all aspects of education and skills.

Visitor and Information Center
for Galveston Island's Wetlands
and Bird Sanctuary
Carlos Jimenez. Author
The design of the 6,500 square feet Visitor and Information Center is to be an entryway into the bird and wetlands sanctuary and should aim to contribute to the public's awareness of the region's delicate and compelling wetlands and its rich aviary-like environment. The site, a flat and rebuilt portion of land located between the main roadway and Galveston Bay, enjoys some of the most amazing views of the protected wetlands to the south. The project is both an education center as well as a means to focus on the environs from a privileged vantage point(s). Important issues to consider in the design of the building(s) are: solidity of construction (hurricane resistance) yet lightness of structure, the integration of the building(s) to the site and the maximization of views at each level.

When shopping for the best home phone service option in Erwinna, PA, researching multiple providers is the best way to go. Consumers should consider major factors such as pricing, reliability and the features/benefits of each service option. The goal should always to be to find something that is cost-effective but still boasts popular features that will help improve quality of life. Wirefly is the best place to compare home phone service providers in Erwinna, PA. Not only that, but every consumer can appreciate the value of reliable service. Things like extended battery life, clear calls and few restrictions can help consumers get the most out of their residential phone service package. In order to enjoy reliable VoIP call quality, it is important to have a good internet connection. Compare the list of home phone providers in Erwinna, PA below:

VoIP stands for "Voice over Internet Protocol." This innovative residential phone technology converts voice signals into digital and then sends them to their intended location via high speed internet networks. In Erwinna, PA, many consumers find this type of service convenient because they can use VoIP in any location they have access to a high speed, broadband internet connection, allowing them to have access to their home phone number when they are out and about. This is a great feature that can be advantageous for business or personal use.
There are many features that make VoIP worth taking the plunge. Though customers are unable to choose their own area codes when they use regular home phone service, VoIP services allow consumers to customize their phone numbers, including area code! Consumers also can include caller ID, unlimited and international calling, call forwarding, three-way calling, call blocking and more to their plans, with plans beginning at as little as $5.99 per month. It's inexpensive and filled with features that are easy to learn, no matter your level of tech-savvy, which makes it a great option for anyone who wants to save money and use a new, innovative service without spending years learning how to do it right.
Despite the advantages, VoIP isn't always the best option available. Another popular service to consider is DSL, and unlike VoIP, this service runs on copper lines. In fact, DSL is very similar to traditional phone services, but it offers greater convenience and speed. Consumers who choose this option will need to have a DSL modem installed in their home, and it's quite common for customers to bundle their phone and DSL services, which can save money. Although a DSL phone service can work with many budgets, it's not always the cheapest option.
When compared with the alternatives, DSL phone service in Erwinna, PA offers a key advantage. Unlike traditional phone services, DSL makes it possible to simultaneously talk and use the Internet. DSL is also a much faster option than traditional dial-up service.
The only downside of DSL is the reliability. If a customer isn't close enough to a local service station, they won't receive the best signal. Customers who're very far away from the nearest service station might not get any signal, and another issue is the potential for busy lines. Since DSL runs through physical phone lines, it's possible for the lines to become too busy, and when this happens, calls can't be made.
A traditional home phone service is sometimes called a "standard," "landline" or "PSTN" service. It's the most straightforward type of service available in Erwinna, PA, as it only requires a phone to be plugged into a wall jack in the home. Calls are carried by a network of cables. For several decades after the telephone was first invented, traditional phone service was the only option that home users could choose from. Due to advances in technology, there are now many other service types that are increasingly being favored by consumers. Many people, especially those in the younger generation, prefer a wireless phone service instead.
Even though it relies on a technology that has existed for well over a century, traditional phone service is very reliable and offers excellent call clarity. Reports of technical problems with traditional service are fewer than with options relying on more recent advancements in technology, which is its biggest advantage. It does come with a few disadvantages. A regular phone service is only available inside the subscriber's home and cannot be used on the go, unlike wireless and most VoIP services. It can also be relatively expensive. The most reputable landline phone service providers in Erwinna, PA, charge an average of $49.99 per month.
Among the many options for home phone service in Erwinna, PA, wireless service is perhaps the most popular one. The mobility of this option is the reason why it is so popular. Wireless services can be either billed or prepaid depending on the carrier and the plan chosen. There is certainly no shortage of wireless phone service providers in Erwinna, PA, so it is important that you consider the pricing and features each offers. You should also do your research regarding each provider's network reliability so you do not find yourself dealing with dropped calls and insufficient network coverage. Among the many features that are often include in wireless phone plans are caller ID and voicemail, as well as the ability to use your phone as a mobile hotspot for times when you need internet service on the go. You can compare cell phone plans in Erwinna, PA using Wirefly.
By far, the most popular reason consumers choose wireless phone services is the mobility it provides. Whether you are running errands or traveling across the country, you are able to make calls easily with wireless service. The higher prices associated with wireless phone services can sometimes be prohibitive, however. While the average monthly cost of a wireless phone plan with unlimited minutes is around $50, choosing additional features can significantly increase the monthly cost. Another disadvantage is that reliability can be an issue at times, and signals may not be available in certain areas.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

Saturday Morning 06:00 hours, time to start preppin for the Phoenix Cycling Club group ride. I turned on the Cooker to Cook some Eggs but when I opened the Fridge there were none arggghhhh! A Bowl of Porridge was the substitute choice as I analysed my Cycle training data on my Laptop.
The Weather forecast promised lots of Sunshine and a very warm day. It was very overcast as I clipped in to the Pedals and set off along the Knock Carriageway for the House of Sport meeting point but already it was very very warm and muggy.
I just about made it over to the meeting point for the earlier Summer only starting time of 9am and soon we were in our various groups and rolling along the Malone road through Drumbeg, up the Sandy Lane to Hilden and in to Lisburn.
Taking the traditional Phoenix route up the Ballynahinch road through Legacurry, past the Pheasant and on to Annahilt. Climbing a few short steep Bergs around Kinallen then an even lumpier road across to Kilkinamurry saw the conversations stop and the heavy breathing intensify as the sharp gradients took their toll.
I was having a rare good day on the Hills keeping in touch with the strongest riders in the group, whilst the weaker rides dropped back unable to sustain the effort. Eventually the terrain relented and we pulled in at the side of the road to allow the stragglers to catch up and set off again as a whole group.
From Kilkinamurry the Sun finally came out and we meandered our way through the lanes to Katesbridge then across to Loughbrickland and a short stop at the village Shop to top up the Water Bottles and visit the public Lavatory. We took the Scarva road out of Loughbrickland all the way to Scarva and on through Gilford, Lawrencetown and Blackskull to the Ballygowan road. The main group turning off in the direction of Lisburn with myself and one other going straight on through Hillsborough towards Carryduff and back home with empty water bottles and soaked in sweat ready for a good shower.
A scorcher of a day on the Bicycle with plenty of hills to leave the Legs burning and a door-to-door total of 75 miles clocked up. This however was nothing in comparison to a group of about a dozen from my Club who on the longest day completed their now annual 200 mile ride having departed the House of Sport at 5am this Morning!

We all know back to school can be a hectic time for a family! Getting back into the school routine is not easy after two long months of summer. My daughter will be starting senior kindergarten tomorrow and I admit this year is much less nerve racking then last when she was first starting J/K.
That very first time at school is full of excitement and stress, especially not knowing how quickly your child will adapt to classroom life. Even the most outgoing children might have a hard time starting school for the first time.
My own daughter is quite shy around new people and has never attended daycare so I was a little nervous to see how her first day would go last year (especially since she wouldn't even look at the teacher when attending 'met-the-teacher' days before school began). She also mentioned that she was scared to go on the big bus with the older kids, but when the first day of school came she got right on the bus and didn't look back. She came home later that day with a note from the teacher saying that she was very talkative and not shy at all which I was pleasantly surprised about. Now after a long summer she can't wait to go back, especially to see her friends and teachers. She thrived in the busy classroom environment where everyday there was something new to learn and do.
So starting tomorrow we will all be in school mode - waking up earlier, making lunches, walking to the bus stop and even some light homework this year! The transition from summer to school will take some time getting use to for the whole family.
I recently came across a few links I found on Apartment Therapy that I found very useful to get back into the schoolMODE.

Resources For Musicians & Songwriters
From the beginning, we've had a simple goal: to empower musicians to build effective websites for their music. It all started in 1999, with a single band website, built by Bandzoogle's founder Chris Vinson for his alt-rock band, Rubberman. Grass roots promotion, plus the online community that the website created helped the band get a record deal.
In between tours, Chris worked at the record label, building websites for multi-platinum selling artists. To save time, he built a "control panel" to let managers and artists make the changes themselves. Realizing this could also help independent bands and musicians build and update their own websites, Chris launched Bandzoogle in late 2003. Now, more than a decade later, tens of thousands of artists around the world use Bandzoogle every day to build their website and promote their music online (click on logo to visit website)

Personally, I like LG for their design and their camera. I loved bold move they did with G5, a poor execution to be a modular phone yes but they did it. The company didn't try to visit being modular with G6, instead they introduced a new screen ratio which is gaining everyone's interest and for all the right reasons.
With G6, they also reduce the bezels of the handset and manage to fit a larger screen into a compact body.
"I've spent the last couple of years carrying two phones. The small one has always been my communicator, since large phones can be uncomfortable to handle in one hand, and the large one my media powerhouse, since consuming content is best on a large display…. But what if a company decided to give you one phone that can serve well to do both? It's time for our full review of the LG G6.
To describe the LG G6 in a word, I think "Versatile" would be the most fit. I mean seriously, what else do you call a product that's designed to solve specific needs without affecting core experiences?.. And by needs we mean the ability of handling a phone with one hand, all the while being large enough to enjoy a good video.", description from PocketNow.

Plato's Academy (Akadimia Platonos)
Directed by Filippos Tsitos Greece / Germany, 2009, 103 minutes
Stavros, a Greek shopkeeper cares for his aging mother after a stroke. Pity that his worst fears slowly are realized: he might be Albanian instead of Greek! Feeding these fears are his mother's lapses into Albanian language, the disconcerting appearance of an Albanian brother of whom he was unaware, and his neighbor's dog who only barks at Albanians. Stavros and his "brother" gradually reach a tenuous rapprochement even as his Greek neighbors begin to shun him. The old lady's funeral offers opportunities for conflict and resolution in Stavros' tight-knit enclave even as the community rapidly changes around them.

Directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari Greece, 2015, 105 minutes
In the middle of the Aegean Sea, six men on a fishing trip on a luxury yacht decide to play a game. During this game, things will be compared. Things will be measured. Songs will be butchered, and blood will be tested. Friends will become rivals and rivals will become hungry. But at the end of the journey, when the game is over, the man who wins will be the best man. And he will wear on his smallest finger the victory ring: the Chevalier.

(PRWEB) January 21, 2016
Dr. G. Derek Paul, a Doctor of Ministry and Divinity, has completed his new book "The Book of Revelation: The End Times are Here": a powerful and biblical look at the Gospel of Jesus Christ, particularly as it speaks about the worldwide events of the end times.
Dr. Paul has the greatest of conviction with this book. He says, "I have written "Book of Revelation: The End Times Are Here" to honor God for His faithfulness to His everlasting covenant (oath) of promise. It is to honor God in Jesus Christ by sharing the Revelation message with my readers: "I Am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8)."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Dr. G. Derek Paul's provocative narrative outlines that the faithful must watch and pray and prepare to see Jesus' triumphant return. Jesus will not return before certain events take place. Four seals or signs must be revealed first. Two such seals have already been opened. Spiritual hosts of wickedness are now coming on Earth, instigated by Satan and the anti-Christ. A mighty host of demonic spirits is occupying the bodies of the enemies of God. They are already creating chaos around the world. Deceptions, false prophets, iniquity, perversion, persecution, beheadings, and war intended to establish Islamic world domination would cause God to unleash His wrath upon them. The world is about to sizzle in the Armageddon war, and the enemies of God will burn in the lake of fire. "Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12)
Readers who wish to experience this compelling work can purchase "The Book of Revelation The End Times are Here" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

"A wise old man told me that the water in a quench bucket (which is the bucket a blacksmith uses to cool iron rapidly by dunking the hot iron in it) was the best cure-all for poison ivy that he had ever used. When a friend came down with a bad case of poison ivy and told me that calamine lotion wasn't working, I shared the wise man's story. She promptly filled a plastic spray bottle with my dirty quench water and coated her arms and legs. A day later she returned to the shop wanting to sell the "magic elixir" to the public. The theory? Heavy concentrations of iron in the water accelerated the drying up of poison ivy blisters." [41]
I have not been allergic to poison Ivy my whole life. In my thirties I was helping a friend pull poison ivy in the late fall. The foliage had dried up and we were pulling it by the roots. Not thinking the oil was drained down in the roots concentrated in storage till next Spring & highly concentrated in the roots we were pulling. 2 days later I was a mess. Both arms a runny bubbly rash & my face was so swollen my eyes were slits, my nose was just 2 holes no protrusion for the nose, and my mouth just a slit & I just sipped Carnation Breakfast & Slim Fast for 3 days through a straw. My doctor gave me some sort of antihistamine tablet & the only other thing I put on the poison ivy was Sweet Fern, which we have masses of here. I was told to stay quiet, and I just laid in bed (watching TV) with poultice of sweet fern on my arms, face, & neck down a little on my upper chest. In a big pot I simmered the sweet fern to limp it & I was draped in the soggy weeds 24 hours a day. I also drank the juice as a tea to work from the inside out. This is an old natural remedy around here for sunburn, poison weed rashes, and other skin inflammations. I pulled the ivy on Sunday, forced to leave work early on Tuesday with the rash. On Saturday my face which only swelled, no oozing rash like the rest of the affected skin, was totally normal. I was told by the Doctor there are three ways poison ivy can affected human skin & I had 2, one on my swollen face & the oozing bubbly rash on the rest of the affected skin. I went back to work Monday with hardly any signs of rash. Sweet fern, you can Google it, was a miracle worker for me. After that I would get a slight, very slight rash between my fingers, that cleared up 2 day later, if I messed with poison ivy. Now I am not bothered with with it at all. What a miserable mess I was, and sweet fern was my hero.
The best defence and cure for poison ivy is, of course, to avoid it, so learn how to recognize the plants and be aware that they can grow as vines or shrubs. They can be spotted by their characteristic cluster of three pointed leaves. The leaves are shiny and the berries are green/yellow in color. Recognition is of particular importance for those people who love to be out in the countryside, camping and hiking. As a regular camper and hiker, you should already know that going into the great outdoors makes you fair game for a myriad of stinging insects as well as noxious plants like the poison ivy. If you are uncertain as to whether you will come across the plant or not, wear protective clothing, and if you are caught off guard, try to rinse off the affected area as quickly as possible to rid yourself of the plant's toxic resin.

that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said,
Note that those who receive this living water believe in Him. "Believe" in the Greek means: have faith, to entrust (especially one's spiritual wellbeing to Christ).If we close our minds to the supernatural power of Jesus Christ, we cannot drink Him in. Any man can come to Him, but in order to receive Him, we must trust Him.
When we do that, He promises that from our belly will flow rivers of living water. Let's look at some of the Greek meanings of "belly": a cavity, the abdomen, the heart, womb.
We find our purpose in Jesus Christ, in His Holy Spirit. As we receive Him in, He transforms us and pours out of us, in many different ways as you can see from the meanings of "belly" above.
He created us with so much potential, but without receiving Christ, we won't recognize it. He can fix any failure, bring life out of every mistake and tame our tendencies to wander from Him.
We find lasting satisfaction and fulfillment in Jesus Christ alone. As we drink Him in, believing and trusting Him, those living waters cannot help but flow outward from every part of our lives.Study the Bible verse of John 7:38 to know the living water and healing rain of Jesus Christ.

Declutter your home – declutter your life
I tried not to take it personally when my sister gifted me Marie Kondo's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. And, though I discovered some interesting suggestions for organizing my things (items in a drawer should stand upright, not lie flat), I also found that – like much of the decluttering discourse – it failed to address what to do with my stuff once I made the move to declutter.
The thought that our stuff will simply get thrown into a landfill, I soon learned, is one of the biggest roadblocks for many of us when it comes to letting go. "Ninety per cent of people care about where their stuff goes," says Linda Chu, a spokesperson for Professional Organizers in Canada.
Stephen Ilott of decluttering.ca, a professional organizer based in Oakville, ON, concurs. People who have invested a lifetime in taking care of memories and memorabilia want to ensure that their things go to a good home – if not to family members, then to those who would benefit most at a women's shelter, an at-risk youth centre or an innovative charity.
Sound familiar? Our guide will help you find the best new home for your old stuff.
This is one reason to clean up your place: A messy home is actually bad for your health in this way.

It was 2:30 in the morning a couple months ago. I had been tossing and turning for a couple hours thinking about the possibility that I had been considering the last day or so. And I couldn't get comfortable because, well, I was feeling really uncomfortable. The thoughts kept coming… Could I be? No, I can't be. My period is only a day or two late, and it's never really that regular anyway… But things are never sore when it's that time of month… We are done. It wasn't happening when we wanted it to, so we are done. Our boys are older and more independent, so we decided we are done. I don't want to be pregnant. At all…But we hadn't yet made any permanent move, so… yep, I could be. I'll take a test in the morning.
A few minutes later: Screw it; it is morning. I'll have an answer, then maybe I can sleep. Or at least have time to process it before work in the morning. So I got up and went to the bathroom where I knew there was a test or two in the closet from earlier this year when we weren't done.
I followed the directions of the test and put it down on the counter and watched with dread. Almost instantly two pink lines appeared. Crap. I buried my face in my hands and cursed in my head. I was angry. Actually angry. So I walked out of the bathroom, turned the hall light on to wake up my husband, who was startled, and he asked, "What are you doing?" I tossed the positive pregnancy test at him. Then I went back in the bathroom and started to cry.
Moments later, my husband came in the bathroom to comfort me. He got me to come back to bed and tried to reassure me.
"It's a good thing," he said. No, it's not. We were done. I shut down the possibility in my mind already. I moved on to planning my life and our life around having two children. We decided it would be easier this way.
"We were just trying to have another baby just a few months ago. It's just a little later than we expected." A little later? Our youngest will almost be 4. That time has passed. I don't want to be pregnant NOW. I wanted to be pregnant THEN.
We had tried for a few months. I had been planning it for months, hoping for good teacher maternity leave timing (you know, so maternity leave would lead into summer break). Our first two (well, actually, three) pregnancies had come pretty easily, so I figured if I planned and timed everything right, we could make it happen in at least a few months. A few months came and went with nothing to show for it. So we got frustrated and decided to give it a rest. And then everyone around me seemed to be announcing their own pregnancy and although I was happy for my friends, I couldn't help the thoughts: I wanted to be pregnant now too. And at times, the sadness overwhelmed me. But the timing no longer seemed right, so we waited until it did again. Mostly we just decided if it happened, it happened. If it didn't, it didn't.
Then we started to second guess this decision as our boys seemed to be hitting a stage of "Let's see how much we can irritate our parents." (I know, it's a goal for children that never really goes away). We were getting busier with the oldest now in kindergarten and participating in extracurricular activities. Plus, the oldest could get up on the weekends and turn the TV on so they could watch some cartoons, while the hubby and I continued to rest. I mean, this seemed like a major important milestone. So we decided. Two kids doesn't seem so bad after all. We discussed calling for an appointment for the big V, but never actually made that call.
So here we are. A few weeks later, and I just can't make myself be happy about it. Not yet. My husband is happy about it, and I'm sure that time will come for me when we have the first ultrasound or hear the heartbeat. Maybe before, but I'm just not there yet.
Which makes me feel so guilty and awful. I shouldn't feel this way. I should feel happy about this baby. I really wouldn't want my baby to feel that it was unwanted. Because I know the time will come when I want this. I just can't seem to wrap my head around it right now.
And I feel guilty for feeling this way because I know there are people reading this, even friends of mine, who would take my place in a second because they are trying so hard and want to be pregnant more than anything, and here I am, upset that I am. For that I am sorry. I don't want to make anyone feel bad, but I know that it might. It wasn't that long ago that I was feeling sad knowing friends were pregnant when I wanted to be.
Fast forward to right now. I've seen the baby on the ultrasound and heard the heartbeat. We've told a few people who seem to be more excited about it than I am, but it helps me a little. I haven't quite felt like telling the world just yet (of course by the time this post goes public, the world will know!), but we did decide to tell the boys who are very excited, which also means soon everyone will know because the oldest already spilled the beans to his teacher and class. The boys talk about the baby and ask questions, like where is the baby going to sit in the car (we started discussing a new car) and what we will name the baby (we let them start sharing names–the oldest has picked several names of WWE wrestlers). The oldest has come to hug me and say congratulations a couple times a day. It's cute. All of this has gotten me feeling better, and feeling less sick at this point probably helps too. Can I say that I am thrilled about all this yet? No, not yet. I know that I'll get there. Maybe it won't be until I give birth, but I'll get there.
I share this story because I know that I'm not the first woman to experience a surprise pregnancy, considering the CDC reports that nearly 50% of pregnancies are unintended. And I know I am not alone in my initial shock and unhappiness. Pregnancy can include a roller coaster of emotions even when it is planned. But the emotional roller coaster that I am sure many of these women feel with an unintended pregnancy is simply rarely talked about. We keep our emotions to ourselves, making us feel more alone and isolated instead of sharing our feelings to maybe talk through them. We are afraid that people will make us out to be bad mothers because how dare we ever feel anything but joy and happiness related to our pregnancies and children? Sure, maybe a couple people think something like that, but I really don't think most people are. And if they are, so be it. No one should have to feel bad about how they feel. A friend of mine told me that it was okay to be unhappy about it and that pregnancy is really the mother's burden to bear, and she's right. Our bodies go through a lot that can be a challenge in and of itself that our spouse just can't quite understand, and adding the unexpectedness can send a shock to the system. It is okay to be unhappy, just like it's okay to be happy. Life plans may need to be altered and changes will take effect. We need to try to not bottle everything up. It also won't be healthy for you or your baby. If talking to a friend about your feelings makes you uncomfortable because you don't want to be judged for your feelings, consider seeking professional help so that you can talk through the emotions. Talk to your doctor or midwife to share your concerns. But know you aren't alone.
I've read some comments on pages saying, "You won't regret the children you have; only the ones you don't." I know in the end that will be true. I am sure I will be perfectly happy with our surprise baby when I'm holding that tiny baby in my arms (a baby that I really hope is no bigger than my other 8.5-9 pound babies!). A baby that will indeed complete our family. But for now, I am okay knowing that I need the time to come to peace with the things that I cannot change and know that my husband will be right (just this once) and it will be a good thing.

Eight days into a paddling trip, your muscles are beginning to have an earned ache, your skin is burnt and dotted with bites, and your mind? Totally clear, except for the soundtrack that has started bubbling up unexpectedly in your mind. Many of us have experienced it, the constant flow of 80′s classics, camp songs, and current hits that seem to jump out of the deepest reaches of our brains when we least expect it.
Its an odd and frequent phenomenon and begs the question, if the Boundary Waters had a soundtrack, what would it include? Yep, it would probably include all of the above. However, for this paddler, there isn't a better collaboration of place and music than paddling to a reel of bluegrass in your head. Even better if it's local bluegrass – Minnesota music in a truly Minnesota place.
This past month the Friends were invited by local bluegrass heroes, Trampled By Turtles, to attend their shows in Duluth and Minneapolis as part of their 10th Anniversary Tour. It was a wonderful opportunity for us talk to new audiences about the uniqueness of the BWCA as well as the threats that face it. Our booth fielded a steady stream of concert goers each night and each TBT song from our corner of the venue was punctuated by exclamations of "I love the BWCA!" and "What can I do to help?"
We met so many new and great people and were heartened by your enthusiasm for the BWCA. Thank you to all of you who came out to the shows, stopped by and said hello, and offered your support.
Thank you also to TBT for your support and generous invitation to be a part of such a memorable tour. Here's to the next ten years of TBT and Minnesota bluegrass in the wilderness.

Pop Quiz Time!Who made this card?
A. My 2.5 year old daughter
B. An alien
C. My dog
D. My husband
For those that answered D, you are CORRECT! Tee hee. I couldn't make a blog post about my hubby without joking with him. In actuality, his first time Cricut skillz are pretty good. I think my first cut was way worse. So good job babe! More importantly, the card was attached to this amazing organization set up:
He is AWESOME!!! I went to go get a mani / pedi and I came home to this. He even put my paper stacks in there for me. I, of course, reorganized it by coordinating all of my solid card stock by colors so I can find it easier:
And now, since I have that, I have this on my desk....SPACE!
What a great Mother's Day present. He supports my crazy craft hobbies. Thanks so much!

Neck Muscles – Structure, Exercises, Problems, Diagnosis & Treatments
Neck is the starting point of spinal column and spinal cord and is an important part of human body which links head with rest of the body.
- Weight of head is supported by it.
- Chain of nerves responsible to covey information sent by brain to rest of the body is also supported by this organ.
- A human has to turn his head to all the direction which is possible only because of this part.
Neck Structure
Cervical Spine
Human spine has a cervical portion which comprises upon 7 bony segments and these are usually referred as C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, C-6 and C-7.
- Cervical Vertebrae are the 7 bones of upper spine.
- The disks are cushions between vertebrae and they absorb the shock of movement.
- Facets are the joints between vertebrae.
- Ligaments connect the vertebrae.
- Muscles support spine and move the head.
- Foramina are openings between vertebrae where nerves exit the spine.
- Nerve branch forms spinal cord to the arms.
Adam's Apple
Adam's apple, medically known as laryngeal prominence, is one of the important features of a human neck. Basically, Adam's apple points to the lump created by thyroid cartilage and surrounding larynx which is commonly known as the voice box.
Larynx or voice box is an organ found in neck of all human, mammals, reptiles and amphibians and help them in producing sounds, taking breath and protecting trachea against food aspiration.
Nerve Endings
All the areas of skin contain nerve endings or nerve termination which are large number of points found on the surface of body, and skin and they might be in millions and their duty is to inform brain system about the feeling of sensation on a certain body area such as the feelings of cold, heat or pain.
Erogenous Zone
Likewise the other areas, this part also contains such type of nerve endings, but the most important thing about this body area is that it is highly sensitive; therefore, it is called as 'erogenous zone' which means love giving zone where special attention is given during sexual stimulation.
Head & Neck Muscles
The system of muscles is described by 2 types of muscle movements;
- The first is the movement which activates head's sensory organs.
- The second is the movement which lets all such senses to be targeted properly.
Muscles enable head to move in different directions including pulling of skull against spine, scapula and shoulders. Most of them are formed in pairs and divided into two branches. One example of such muscles is the muscles found in back area of the neck which play their role to connect skull base to many other vertebrae.
They make head bow down to chest and also pull it erect. They also make face turn from one to the other side and when it is about showing facial expressions, the same muscles aid.
Neck Exercises & Stretches
Chin to chest stretch does not require any type of equipment.
2) Isometric Neck Exercise (front & back)
This exercise is especially effective for front and back muscles. In order to perform this exercise, you only need to use your own body.
3) Isometric Neck Exercise (side-to-side)
This workout is used to target sides and like the above mentioned exercise, it also requires only body.
4) Lying Face-Up Plate Neck Resistance
This exercise targets muscles of the same area as well.
5) Lying Face-Down Plate Neck Resistance
This workout is also considered to be an extremely effective one to target this important body part.
6) Seated Head Harness Neck Resistance

Question about Televison & Video
Posted by htwillo on
There's a good chance you have failing electrolytic capacitors either in the power section or the inverter section or both.
Any caps in these sections that look bulged at the top, or bulged/leaking at the bottom need to be replaced.
If you repeatedly turn it on, eventually it'll probably stay on, but every time you turn it off, the TV will get harder and harder to start up until one day it just won't.
Sometimes you have to do the opposite to start it up and unplug it for 5 mins, then try.
If you aren't tech savvy, this unit needs to go in for repair.
If you are handy with a soldering iron and can identify the power supply and inverter / FM section for the backlights, an inexpensive handful of capacitors will likely fix you right up.
Match the capacitance on the capacitors. Go over voltage if you can, and still have them fit.
IE - it's not a bad idea to replace a 10V cap with a 16V or 25V or even a 50V, but don't replace a 680uF cap with a 500uF or a 1000uF (unless you are positive it's only doing ripple filtering, and even then, you should go OVER, not under the uF rating).
Most of the caps that go are 10V 1000uF or 3300uF.
I found some great videos of the procedure (for many Samsungs with the same issue) on youtube.
As you can see, this issue spans plasma TVs, as well as large and small LCD TVs and monitors.
The parts are cheap, and skill required is minimal.

Minneapolis's Awesome Midtown Greenway (Video)
With Heroic Music and Everything!
Minneapolis is a strong contender for 'top city for cyclists in the USA'. Part of what makes it so great is the 5.7 mile long Midtown Greenway, which is the highlight in a network of 100 miles of bike paths. It goes from east to west and provides the best way to go through the city at rush hour. It was built over an abandoned railway corridor, showing other cities how their old industrial infrastructure can be upcycled. Check it out in the great video above by our friends at: Streetfilms.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (SportsNetwork.com) - Bernd Wiesberger used a string of birdies down the stretch on Thursday to shoot a first-round, 8-under 64 and he holds a 1-shot lead in front of some big names at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.
Wiesberger has won two times in his career on the European Tour, both of which came in 2012 at the Ballantine's Championship and the Lyoness Open. The 29- year-old also played his way into the final pairing at last year's PGA Championship, where he wound up finishing tied for 15th.
"It feels good right now," said Wiesberger. "I feel quite happy with what I expect out of my game. When I'm in trouble, I know I can scramble well, which is the part you don't see right now because I'm hitting the ball quite nicely."
Lee Westwood, a 23-time winner on tour, finished the first round with a 7- under 65 on the Majlis Course at Emirates Golf Club and he is tied for second with this year's South African Open Championship winner Andy Sullivan, American Peter Uihlein and Nicolas Colsaerts.
World No. 1 Rory McIlroy, the 2009 champion, is just two shots back of the leader Wiesberger. McIlroy is tied for sixth at 6-under 66 with two-time defending champion and fellow European Ryder Cup team member Stephen Gallacher, Maximilian Kieffer, Anders Hansen, Seve Benson, Hennie Otto and Marc Warren.
After his collapse at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship two weeks ago, Martin Kaymer rebounded with a 5-under 67 and he is tied for 13th with six others.
Wiesberger got off to a neutral start when he made par on his first five holes from No. 1 before rolling in his first gain of the day on No. 6. Following a pair of pars on seven and eight, Wiesberger drained another birdie on No. 9 and followed that up with his second straight gain on the par-5 10th.
The best was still yet to come for Wiesberger. After making pars on 11 and 12, the Austrian rattled off five straight birdies from No. 13 to come from out of nowhere and take the lead. Wiesberger finished up with a par to finish alone atop the leaderboard after day one.
"It was a solid back nine I have to say," Wiesberger stated. "I got on a run at the end and could have birdied my last six holes there. Once I got the pace right on the greens, which were a bit slower than I expected, it went nicely."
Westwood, beginning his day on the back nine, started off with a birdie at the 10th before making four straight pars from 11. Westwood then made birdie on three of his next six holes on 15, 17 and one.
A trio of pars from two preceded Westwood's fifth birdie on five, and three holes later the Englishman ran off back-to-back birdies on eight and nine to end on a high note.
Sullivan continued his strong play early on this season as he made three birdies over his first five holes on 10, 13 and 14. Sullivan finished up his opening nine with an eagle on the par-5 18th and proceeded to make birdies on one and three after the turn. Sullivan concluded his first round with six straight pars from four.
Uihlein exploded out of the gate with a trio of birdies from No. 1 and he later made five birdies in a seven-hole span from No. 7, giving him the outright lead at minus-8. Down the stretch Uihlein tripped to his only bogey on No. 17 to fall back to 7-under and he finished up with a par at the last.
Colsaerts also had a strong start to his round with five birdies on his front nine on 11, 12, 13, 15 and 18. The Belgian continued his run around the turn with three more gains on one, three and seven, but a bogey on nine also saw Colsaerts fall back to 7-under at the end of the round.
McIlroy, who finished alone in second at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship two weeks ago, is playing in his second event of the season and showed little to no rust on Thursday. McIlroy started off with gains on his first two holes on 10 and 11. After six straight pars from 12, McIlroy made the turn with a birdie on the par-5 18th.
The Ulsterman birdied four more on his closing nine at three, five, six and eight, but a bogey on nine dropped him back to minus-6 and he trails by two shots along with six others.
"I'd be disappointed if I didn't shoot anything below 68 today, especially with the conditions and 66 is a nice start," McIlroy said. "I'd like to see it blow a little bit and make it more of a challenging golf course, you still need to hit the shots but it would be nice to play in some conditions that are a little different than this."
NOTES: In two events this season, Wiesberger has finished tied for sixth in Abu Dhabi two weeks ago and he also ended in third at last week's Qatar Masters ... Gallacher has three career victories, with two coming at this event the last two seasons ... Dating back to last season, McIlroy has finished inside the top 10 in six straight events and 10 of his last 11, including a stretch of three straight victories at the British Open, WGC- Bridgestone Invitational and PGA Championship ... His win here in 2009 was McIlroy's first professional victory ... Louis Oosthuizen withdrew with a back injury prior to starting the first round and he was replaced in the field by Jason Barnes.

text: Camping in the Cascade wilderness with our families the night before, we hung out on the river ate around the campfire and snuggled in the tent all night long. Roaring high winds didn't make for great sleep, but by 4:30 am when our alarms went off it was calm and clear with a blanket of stars covering the sky and a crescent moon shining right above the jagged ridges. We started driving in the dark and hiking in the dusk. We back packed a stand up paddle board and we were excited to make it to Eight Mile Lake in the Enchantment Park Wilderness. The hike was beautiful as the sun rose and before you knew it we were in the heat of day. Our adrenaline was high on adventure, but unforeseen circumstances would kick in our fight or flight before long. When we came quietly and quickly around a tight bend in the trail and spooked a small cinnamon black bear we were completely shocked as well! The bear started to run off, but something changed its mind and it headed back up the trail at us. We stepped off the trail, took off our bag and grabbed the bear spray. I looked over at the brush ten feet away from us and silent as an Eagle gliding through the sky, the Enchanted Bear was creeping through the brush. Our eyes met and I saw the curiosity and the hesitation. I carefully took the trigger off the bear spray knowing that our encounter was too close already to make any mistakes. I sprayed the bear and we grabbed our bags heading back to the trail. Enchanted Bear followed. One step forward and two more strong sprays…we backed away around the bend in the trail with the taste of pepper on our tongues and stinging our eyes. The bear disappeared in a cloud of yellow smoke and we hiked with new vigor as we tried to cover more ground. I felt bad I had to spray the bear. He had curious eyes and was clearly as enchanted with us as we were with our mission. We made it to the lake and celebrated with a picnic on the stand up paddle board high in the mountains in the middle of an Alpine Lake. We didn't see the bear on the hike out…but you know we were looking. The funny thing is that ever since that day, that bear has been with me. Something about feeling like prey. Something about the look in his eyes. Maybe I'm the enchanted one.

"And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance." – Lee Ann Womack
That quote from the song "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack, caught my ear when I was thinking about my one-word theme for the coming year. I'm a fan of the one-word theme instead of resolutions. I teach a similar technique for developing your management style. The point is to distill your goal into a single word that you can use to filter the choices you make. You can read more about one-word themes on Fast Company.
When you want to make a commitment to growth and development, you need a couple of things. First, you need to know what area you want to grow or develop. What needs to change for you to get to the next level? We noted the things you meant to accomplish this year but failed to do in The Focus Of Your Control. What new skill or habit will serve you best in the new year?
Second, you need a clear way of remembering the skill or habit. Some people will say, "if it's that important, you won't forget it". While they are not wrong, per se, that attitude doesn't take into account the busy realities of life that can make you forget your own mother's name some days. That attitude also has a very judgy feel to it. We're not wasting our time on that crap here. We're going to use the one-word theme to solve the problem.
Finally, you need a good reason to change. This reason is different than just wanting to grow for the sake of growing. Developing a new skill or a better habit is like getting a job. You're hiring this skill or habit to help you do something bigger like pay your mortgage, feed your kids or take a vacation. What's the value that you will get from this new skill or habit? We talked in more detail about this in The Irish Fighter.
Got all of that done? Great. Now, my word for 2016 is "dance". There's a pretty consistent theme throughout my life where I had fallen short of accomplishing goals when I had the choice between doing something uncomfortable or not. As a kid, I was often offered the "not" and that reinforced itself through life, as those things are want to do. The imagery of standing along the wall and not dancing spoke to me.
And I want you to dance with me.
Picking a single theme for your year, one that stretches you in areas that are not your strongest; challenges you to do things you have been avoiding doing for a while now; or addresses shortcomings you are too embarrassed to admit having, is not easy.
And I want you to do it anyway.
Then, I want you to tell people around you. Don't make it weird like you're doing a fad diet. Just own it.
When asked about my resolution, I'm going to say something like "I don't do resolutions. I do themes that apply to most of my choices. This year it's "dance" which means that when I have a choice to sit or dance, I'll dance, in whatever form that takes. As long as it's growing my client base so I can spend more time doing the stuff I love, I'm dancing."
Note that I'm also sharing the goal, so the people around me know what's important to me this year and they also know the caveats around the theme. In this case, dancing doesn't mean jumping out of airplanes if new business isn't the direct result.
In many cases, I'll invite them to keep me honest. It can be hard for our friends and loved ones to push us. They can care too much. At times, though, when armed with the knowledge of what you want from life, they are well positioned to nudge you when you fail to nudge yourself.
Several paragraphs ago I asked if you had picked your theme and understood why it was important. Most of you had not but I'm asking you to do it now. Take this next serious step in the name of your career and your life goals. Identify what you to develop or fix. Pick one word to describe the campaign to develop or fix it. Articulate why you want to develop or fix it. Share it broadly and without hesitation. Invite others to keep you honest.
Taking these steps may be uncomfortable for you. I get that, but it will be worth the effort. I promise. Let's dance.

I was scrolling down on my facebook wall when a question of one of my friends just hit me in the eye: How can i get a slimmer face?
What i dislike on my face is my nose, my HUGE head and my chin. Usually i try to show a better profile of my face on the pics, creating a sharp V-line as I mentioned it in my selca post, or hiding my chin. Or if theres nothing else, i photoshop my face. You have no idea how much I have to push my jaw in with liquify (an my nose is just the hardest job).
Unfortunately, double chin and face fat is notoriously very hard to get rid of. ㅠ.ㅠ Plastic surgeons would suggest implants/fillers for sure but who has money for that? Or who want to go under knife for that lot of pain for a half centimeter at all?
Blah, maybe me one day…
I know 3 ways to slim down your face not on a surgical way:
1. beauty cosmetics
2. face massage
3. make up
1. beauty cosmetics
2. face massage
3. make up
(1) While i was in Korea I found a really good product what I got in Myeongdong for free in charge of doing some window shopping inside the store! So heres the product, i only have some semple left *cries*
I used this lifting toner from Fleboté daily, in the morning and night, too. After applying the toner it started to heat up! So it has to have something in it, right?
I felt my skin softer and after a few days my face really looked slimmer and sharper.
Fleboté Collagenic XP V-lifting Toner
I also recommend korean brand Holika Holika. Their Pumpling Heart V-line mask is one of the secrets from Korea for those who want a sharper jawline and a V-line face. The mask contains coffee and capsicum to help burn fat, also made of some gel-like substance that adheres firmly to the face. Don't leave it on for longer than 15 minutes or more than 2x a week – I find it leads to pimples in the next few days.
(2)To make my face slimmer i use a facial slimming massage technique every night while sitting in front of my laptop. Honestly i found it on Bubzbyeauty's youtube page.
After cleaning my face with cleanser and oatmeal (yeah) i put on some night cream, it is good if the cream is kinda oily. (Even olive oil does well) I don't have a massager like her so as she recommended i replaced it with a chinese spoon. I start the massage from the bottom of my chin, going until the upper side of me ears and bringing the spoon down on my neck. I always do it up to ~5 mins or from starting to feel the heat and i countinue for some minutes. Then change side and do the same.
There's another massage technique, too what helps you to slim down your whole face. Use your the middle part of your middle fingers and press on different parts of your face. For each part of your face, press 20 times. Start from the bridge of your nose, pressing upwards to your eyebrows and outwards to your forehead. Then start from the corners of your mouth and press towards the inner corners of your eyes. Finally, press from your chin to the sides of your face all the way to your ears.
(3) Korean brand Etude House has a highlighter called Aloha V-line slim maker. It's purpose is to make your chin visible creating a luminous V-line and contours face to get a slimmer look.
How to apply?
Or just buy a bronzing powder what is only a bit darker as your skin tone, make fish face and color lightly the parts they go inside under your cheecks. This will also create you a slim look.

BLACKVEIL: BOOK FOUR OF THE GREEN RIDER By Kristen Britain [Review]
The Green Rider series is one of those ongoing fantasy worlds what has enough depth and breadth to really engage readers, pull them into the existence of the characters and make them real. It's one of those series that makes readers wait patiently for long pauses between books and scramble to the stores when the new book is out. BLACKVEIL: BOOK FOUR OF THE GREEN RIDER by Kristen Britain wasn't really worth the wait.
Blackveil was by far the darkest book of the series, taking Karigan and Zachary into places that were uncomfortable at times. And while we all know that evil is bad, this level of "dark" was a little unexpected from Britain in this series. I was a surprised at some of the turns the story took. There is so much going on in this book, it's hard to keep up if you haven't been a fan and reader before, and I found myself going back once or twice to remember who did what to who and when. Things are less than perfect between Karigan and Zachery, Grandmother is up to no good, black magic is running rampant, people are out to kill our heroes, the court is in disarray. There is just so much going on that you need a score card. Blackveil is an epic fantasy a little too heavy on the epic, and I am a fan of the genre in general.
The most disappointing thing was the book ends on a huge cliffhanger. I am all for the "keep the reader reading" cliffhanger, but this was a little too big to end a book on, especially one in a series that has several years between books. I am not a fan of that, and it seems to be becoming more of a "thing", especially in fantasy and urban fantasy.
The other problem, I think this series is becoming overlong. Fantasy worlds tend to lend themselves to long, ongoing series, but I think many authors continue many books longer than needed and end up with an unmanageable mess. Britain is heading towards this, she is not alone by any means, I would even say some major names in the genre have gone many books too long.
Fans of the series might be disappointed with Blackveil and be aware, this one is dark. Bad things happen to good characters. New readers would be better off heading back to the beginning of the series and skipping this one until they are on more familiar ground, and even then they might want to give it a miss.
