You knew that it would happen someday, and now it has. Your youngest child or your only child has moved out of your home and now it feels strange. Most likely, you have mixed feelings about this event.
If you have a sense of sadness or loss, you may be experiencing what's known as "empty nest syndrome." This is not a clinical diagnosis but a phrase that sociologists coined to describe feelings of unhappiness or difficulty in adjusting to a new phase in life that many parents feel once their children have moved out.
If you are having trouble adjusting to this new time in your life, here are the latest insightful findings and ways on how to deal with empty-nest syndrome:

Today, Julie and I tried to squeeze in a visit to Millard Falls to take advantage of yesterday's rains. On separate occasions in the past, Julie had seen this waterfall with disappointing results followed up by my own solo trip here with similarly not-so-impressive results as well. So we figured today would be the day we could finally get nice photos of the falls while squeezing in this excursion before a birthday celebration of one of Julie's friends.
Well, sometimes things don't always turn out as expected... [read more]

It must be a relief to finally leave purgatory, but is Edward Snowden entering Heaven or Hell? From Russia Today:
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has been granted temporary asylum in Russia and is allowed to enter the country's territory.
The whistleblower has been granted temporary political asylum in Russia, Snowden's legal representative Anatoly Kucherena said.
"I have just handed over to him papers from the Russian Immigration Service. They are what he needs to leave the transit zone," he added.
Kucherena showed a photocopy of the document to the press. According to it, Snowden is free to stay in Russia until at least July 31, 2014. His asylum status may be extended annually upon request…

|This sign was really pretty. Unfortunately, I'm kind of a terrible photographer.
So Saturday morning my friend Jessamyn (a fellow librarian!) and I got up early to hear Kevin Henkes. Kevin Henkes is wonderful. If you're not familiar with him, remedy that. He's written and illustrated 47 books--picture books, early chapter books, and novels. I just love him. I think he understands the mind of children better than anyone writing books for preschoolers and young kids right now.
|This is a really fuzzy picture of Kevin Henkes being hilarious.
Jessamyn and I decided to brave his signing line. It was really quite long. While we were there, we were checking twitter obsessively (as you do) and we decided to stalk Sarah Dessen (as you do). Not two minutes later, she walked by in a bright yellow dress!! This was my second time to meet her, and she is delightful. What you see is absolutely what you get! She's gracious and sweet and was totally nice about my fangirling. As soon as I walked away, she fangirled all over Meg Wolitzer! I love it.
That afternoon, I went to a middle grade panel with Jeramy Kraatz, Chris Krovatin, and Caroline Carlson. It was great fun! They talked about their middle grade series, their characters, and their inspirations. It was awesome!
Caroline's book was one of my favorite reads of this year. If you don't believe me, feel free to consult the completely ridiculous Goodreads review I wrote back in the spring when I read a galley. We've enjoyed it so much at my library that we're reading it aloud by chapters to our afterschool group. It's about pirates and I love it.
|I made Caroline do this. And she had to pose twice because my phone flipped out. And then I didn't tell her I was putting this pic on the blog. Basically, I'm the worst. And she is the cutest.
SUNDAY I was determined to go to this panel, mainly because Myra McEntire is kind of my favorite human. She did a panel about her books with fellow Nashville resident Sharon Cameron, whose books I will now devour. The panel;s theme was awesome heroines, and they talked a lot about their MCs, but also about research, writing in general, and the writing community. I also met Sonia Gensler after this panel, who is just a delight.
Then awesome librarian Angela and I went to the Rick Riordan (by way of a VERY STRANGE Chuck Palahniuk session) and Y'ALL. These kids were SCREAMING their brains out. It was like the Beatles in Shea Stadium! I mean...seeing HUNDREDS of kids that excited about books made my librarian heart so happy. I cried tears of this is why I do my job.
ANYWAY. This Festival was not only SO SUPER FUN (and super Southern and chill--I got BBQ from a food truck!) and I got to see ALL THE PEOPLE, I also got to talk to some friends and authors about the year-long reading initiative that I'll be doing at my library in 2014 (oh, don't worry, you'll hear LOTS more about this), and people are willing to come and talk to my kids about books! I just want to talk to kids about books. Forever. The end.
|Myra's like YEP. I am, in fact, legit. I thnk this is where she was agreeing with the notion that writers don't shower.
Angela recorded this during the presentation. Serious. Altamont Speedway, y'all.
|A small portion of the line for signed Rick Riordan books. He wasn't even signing them! They were pre-signed!

No matter what type or size of new property you happen to be hunting for, you happen to be certain to uncover it amongst our a lot of master planned neighborhoods in Nocatee, FL. Every single of the village-like neighborhoods has its own personality offering a selection of stunning residences – single-loved ones residences, luxury estate homes, and townhomes – all built by some of Florida's finest residence builders. I am not confident if we know the extent to which the firm was forced into providing smaller sized homes, vs simply re-organizing for other reasons, but there is no denying that the houses offered in the Liberty catalogs, had been significantly more modest- the large colonials like the Standish, the Marlboro, and the Cheltenham, had been gone from the catalogs for very good.
Early Victorian properties featured lighter colored walls with richer colors in the dining room and library. Promotional gives are normally restricted to certain homes and communities and are topic to terms and circumstances. Underground residences (also recognized as earth sheltered properties) may possibly be built into a hillside, or constructed close to a hill and then covered with earth on the sides and over the leading. Thorndale by Kingscroft Developments, a top quality development of only forty three three, four & 5 bedroom A3 rated homes.
So we remain to ourselves in our cozy properties in our personal small worlds not interacting with the rest of society, and gradually losing our sense of neighborhood. After you get your tenants in the residence, get the name of a great mortgage broker in your location and get the two of them speaking. I have lived in an area with low-cost housing when we first started out and I am sorry we did.
The combination of flat median new property rates and rising median household incomes means new homes have turn out to be reasonably far more affordable in the course of the last six months. Now they are saying that my home was mistakenly placed on the list of properties affected since my property was built with a Novadeck flooring technique.
Brandywine at Turkey Creek has homes and houses for sale in Knoxville TN that are custom constructed and cater to a low upkeep way of life. With wise and simple in mind, we made New Homes Guide so you can use it on any device, from desktops and laptops to tablets and smart phones. Thank you for putting together this Present Guide featuring the very best of the ideal Christmas motion pictures featuring dogs. I asked many questions and his reply to me was that Norfolk properties was incorrect!

Hulk smash (gender roles): Dad makes daughters a Hulk princess cake
A reddit user's twin daughters wanted a Hulk princess cake for their fourth birthday, so by gosh that's exactly what he made them.
It's not fancy, and it's probably not going to earn this dad a spot on Food Network, but it has won him a place in our hearts. From the lavender skirt to the purple bodice to the red tiara, it's undeniably awesome. Or should that be totally awesome?
Fellow reddit users have also heaped praise on the cake, with some sharing memories of not receiving what they asked for as kids because it was too "boyish" or too "girlish." "Follow your dreams," one wrote.

If you look at the desktop marketplace, the world is not short of DAW/sequencer options. And, if the likes of, for example, Cubasis, GarageBand, Auria Pro of now Gadget, don't float your particular boat, as I posted a couple of months back, there are further options for you to consider. However, I also reviewed another interesting contender that made it's iOS debut quite recently; Audio Evolution Mobile Studio.
As I discussed in the full review, I was impressed with the basic concept, the conventional design approach (which makes for a modest learning curve) and the sensible core feature selection. The 'free + IAP' pricing model is also one that will undoubtedly attract some iOS musicians as it does allow an element of try before you buy. AEMS has been around as a desktop and Android app for some time…. but the iOS version has only recently appeared and is getting plenty of attention.
Developer Davy Wentzler has been very active since the initial release and the app's performance with both AU and IAA apps has been considerably fine-tuned. This now seems like a pretty solid host for your 3rd party apps and the feature set – as covered in my original review – is impressive.
Anyway, a further update appeared over the week-end taking the app to v.1.1.3. The update includs a number of refinements in various areas of the app's operation. For example, the piano roll has had further refinements to improve how note length creation/editing is handled. It's now also easier to adjust the grid size used within the piano roll editor and this can be dynamically adjusted as you zoom in/out. Velocity editing has also been improved and there are a number of other minor tweaks and fixes. This is all pretty modest tidying up but it does help with the workflow and is therefore good to see.
I really should update my 'iOS DAW/sequencer roundup' article to include AEMS… and with Korg's Gadget having just added audio recording – and therefore becoming a DAW as well as a sequencer – that's also worth considering. Anyway, as an alternative to the obvious DAW/sequencer competition, AEMS is certainly worth exploring, especially given the 'free to try' pricing approach.

Une oeuvre méconnue qui révèle un réalisateur intéressant .. www.cinefiches.com
Cassavetes, peter falk, gena rowlands and ennio morricone
This "Spaghetti Cassavetes" film, complete with Italian actors dubbed into English, is fairly disappointing, despite good performances from Cassavetes, Peter Falk, and Gena Rowlands. There's about five minutes of Gena, and her adoring fans may want to see that anyway, but I suggest you suffice with the rather tasty trailer (just click on the screenshot, thanks Mubi! :-)
A decent heist movie which takes on a completely different tone for its last act. The setup is nice and the acting is great. Sure, the pacing was a little slow, the plot was a little goofy at points and there was nowhere nearly enough of Gena Rowlands' character but the score was sweet, Machine Gun McCain was entertaining and Britt Ekland was fun to look at.
Made watchable only by John Cassavetes's ice-cold performance, a classic score by Ennio Morricone, and a few scenes of nihilistic violence. It does get better towards the end, but most of it is just too slow.

Actress Ashley Judd: 'Trump Supporters Are Hurting My Career, If This Continues I'm Gonna Move From This Awful Country." Do You Support This ?
… And some people announced:
"Ooh BOO HOO you fucking idiot . You never should have opened your mouth about wanting US to vote for the untrustworthy hillary and you spewing how much female rights you have in the middle east. So pack up your fucking bags and move to the middle east see for yourself how many rights you DON'T HAVE. Bye bye bitch will never watch one of your movies. You suck as an actress"
"Ashley Judd is trying her best to hurt this country. She needs to start clearing out her negativity and start acting as a responsible American citizen and not a communist sympathizer! Don feel sorry for her, more disgusted by her and her ilk"

Welcome to beginning guitar! My name is Mr. Retz and I am excited to be sharing my love of music, and especially the guitar, with a new group of musicians. For those of you who don't know me, I lead Petrus, the 8th-12th grade music group at the Sunday, 5:30 Mass each week. I have been playing guitar for over 30 years and have played in many groups in varying styles.
This year we will be using a method book by Jerry Jennings called Guitar: Start Out Jammin'! Level 1. It's a really great program that includes a DVD for the student to play along with. The cost is $17.95 and you can pick it up locally at El Dorado Hills Music or order it online from jenningspublishing.com or Amazon. I have known Jerry for close to 20 years and he is one of the best private guitar teachers in the area. This resource is well put together and should help not only in the classroom but also while practicing at home. Please try to get a copy before our next class.
I will supplement this material with handouts and familiar songs that will become a part of the student's repertoire.
To each class the student should bring their guitar, if playing electric they will need a small amp, their book, a folder with any handouts I have distributed, a music stand and at least one guitar pick. The guitar should be in good repair and capable of staying in tune. If you are having a guitar restrung, light strings will make it easier on the fingers for beginning guitar players. I suggest "heavy" picks but many beginners do well with "mediums".
Each week our lesson begins with the Prayer to the Holy Spirit. We then review the concepts from the previous week before diving into the next lesson. At the end of the lesson I will write the areas of focus for the coming week on the board and explain each one.
In addition, I will post this information, and usually a picture of the board, on my website at mattretz.com and send out an e-mail once the information has been posted.
I will spend as much time as I can each week making sure each student is progressing and understanding the techniques taught. Having said this, if a student only touches the guitar for the 45 minutes a week that they are in my class they will not be able to keep up. The class is there to show the student what to work on when playing at home. Like most everything else, you get out of it what you put into it. I suggest a minimum of 15 minutes a day to start. This is not a chore though, it's a fun, and rewarding experience that I hope will lead to a lifelong passion as it has for me. I still play guitar most every day!
Matt Retz
This is where I post Psalm settings for use by Petrus and Rock of Faith. Of course anyone else who wants to use them is also welcome.

Definition of queer studies
- Yet the open secrets of humanism make an odd fit with the homoerotic subtexts. Queer studies, at its most exciting, has challenged the very idea of human nature.
- —Lawrence Lipking, The New Republic, 12 Feb. 2001
- Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, whose critical writings on the ambiguities of sexual identity in fiction helped create the discipline known as queer studies, died on Sunday in Manhattan … . Ms. Sedgwick broke new ground when, drawing on feminist scholarship and the work of the French poststructuralist Michel Foucault, she began teasing out the hidden socio-sexual subplots in writers like Charles Dickens and Henry James.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Developmental Scientific Research (B)
The results that we could obtain according to our plan are as follows.1)Establishment of immortalized cultured cell lines from transgenic mouse kidneys.A ts-SV40 large T-antigen gene was injected into pronuclei of fertilized eggs of C57BL/6 mice, and mice of first generation were abtained. Various nephron segments were microdissected from collagenase-treated kidneys and cultivated. Cells thus made can be maintained over 100 passages.2)Characterization of established cell lines.Several characters like nephron segment-specific enzymes, metabolisms, and hormone recepters in the cell lines were compared with those in freshly isolated respective nephron segments. These cell lines maintained most site-specific characters except gamma-GTP activity, gluconeogenesis and porathyroid hormone receptor.3)Application of these cell lines for pharmacological and toxicological studies.Cells originated from the terminal proximal tubule could be successfully applied for the evaluation of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Since ATP-purinoceptor was highly expressed in cells form outer medullary collecting duct, these cells might be suitable sample for cloning cDNA of ATP receptr protein (s) . This trial is now under investigation.

Magic Lessons: The Influence of Contemporary Theories of Education on the Construction of Children's Fantasy Literature
Publication Date
April 2015
Sean McCann
English (United States)
This thesis examines the influence of liberal and neoliberal theories of childhood and education on the construction of popular works of children's fantasy literature during two golden ages of the genre: the two decades following World War II and the years surrounding the millennium. As works written for children, all works of this genre are arguably centrally concerned with a child's journey through adolescence and towards adulthood. Furthermore, these texts offer a vision of the ideal education, and place these visions in counterpoint to the kinds of schools and teachers that foster or restrict it. Some of the best-selling fantasy works of the post-War era'notably C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain, and Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time Quartet'all depict an idealized version of a liberal education that provides their respective child protagonists with the lessons needed in order to succeed in a meritocratic, but nevertheless democratic world. Harkening the advent of another of this genre's golden ages, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series depicts a world heavily influenced by the prevalent neoliberal tenets of the contemporary world and implicitly reinforces the inescapability or value of a hierarchical class-based society. Responding to similar concerns as Rowling, Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus Trilogy each also depict a decidedly neoliberal world, although formulating divergent conclusions. In each of these works the child protagonist is ideally educated and prepared for future success. What it means to be educated, however, can look remarkably different depending on who is describing the schooling.

It's a common scenario for a woman to blissfully be in an exclusive relationship with a great guy, only to find out after a certain amount of time – be it months or years – that he wants to move on. He's not into it anymore. The relationship is done.
This comes as a heartbreaking shock to the person on the receiving end of this. After all, she thought the relationship was "going somewhere."
What I discovered over the years was that being exclusive with someone does not necessarily equal having a commitment.
There are many reasons a man may prefer to date exclusively, even if he isn't ready to commit. Often men find it more comfortable and enjoy dating just one woman; he may get turned off at the idea of seeing multiple women at once. This type of man will be more likely to want an exclusive relationship early on in the dating process. But it doesn't mean he is ready for commitment.
By commitment I mean some kind of living together (not just spending nights together) that results in a partnership. In a relationship you're still getting to know one another and it's relatively easy to leave it. Sharing a home says that he's ready to wake up next to you everyday.
The thing is when you're first dating you don't always know how things are going to turn out. There aren't even guarantees if you are married.
So How Do You Keep a Clear Head While You're Waiting to See if His Intentions Are Serious and You're Getting to Know Him?
1. Be Upfront About Your Long-Term Desires in the Beginning
I say it all the time and I'll say it again, it should be pretty clear to him from the start that you're ready to find your partner. (Note: You're not saying it's him yet, you're just saying that is the person you're looking for now.) Any guy that can't handle that will be scared off nice and early – thankfully.
2. Have an Open Heart but Maintain Healthy Boundaries Even if You're Exclusively Dating
I don't like blanket rules for everyone, but I suggest having your own personal limit as to how far you will invest in the relationship until you're in a committed relationship with him. Your boundaries may have to do with how physical you are together, how much time you're spending together, how much you're getting emotionally invested, or even whether or not you choose to change your Facebook status yet. Whatever they are for you just have them and don't assume he's "all in" until he clearly is.
3. Observe His Actions Not His Words
Anyone can say anything but only if someone's actions are backing it up does it prove to be true. "Action is proof to the Universe that you're serious," says Christie Marie Sheldon, and the same is true if he knows you're his soul mate. He will introduce you to his family and closest friends. He will make space for you in his life. He will take steps to have a committed relationship with you. He will act like he wants to spend everyday for the rest of his life with you.
4. Continue Doing the Things That Make YOU Happy
All the things that brought you balance and joy before you met him: meditation, spiritual practice, exercise, family, socializing with friends, hobbies, etc. – keep doing them because they bring you happiness that isn't dependent on him and the outcome of your relationship together. These are the things that give you energy. Additionally, these things are what make you so darn attractive to him to begin with.
There are no guarantees in life and being in an exclusive relationship is no exception. Ultimately you don't have control over whether someone chooses to commit to you or not, however, if you continue practicing these four tips you will stay grounded and happy until you know for sure that he is your soul mate partner.
What do you think? Do you think being exclusive is enough of a commitment? I'd love to read your comments below!

The Bible History Timeline is a visual companion to the Bible and history books. It portrays key figures and important events throughout the history of the world, organizing them in their place in time. These pieces of history were painstakingly researched and carefully referenced from many sources, including the Bible.
Our Bible Timeline is divided into separate time periods. These divisions are marked with lines starting at the center of the chart, extending toward the outer perimeter. The ending of each line is labeled with the appropriate time period, as shown in a segment of the Bible History Timeline to the left, labeled Figure 1. Biblical and Historical figures and events are depicted between each of these time divisions. Christ is found on the line, labeled 0, running down the middle of the chart, as illustrated in Figure 1. To the right of this line are all the people and events before Christ and to the left are all people and events after Christ.
Organizing events and figures of history in this manner allows us to see the whole picture, adding meaning and clarity. Although most of us have a general knowledge of Bible and World History, this knowledge is like a very large puzzle that is too difficult and time consuming to put together. The Bible History Timeline assembles these small puzzle pieces, so that we are able to view, at a glance, these biblical and historical events in an organized and meaningful way.
Figure 2 on the right is a good example of the greater meaning that can be obtained from the whole picture. As the timeline reveals, Confucius lived in the same time period as the biblical figure Daniel. The history sources of these people are so drastically different that a link between them would not otherwise be made. This also builds a closer connection between our Bible history and traditional history.
The Bible History Timeline organizes abstract pieces of history in such a way that it is easy to trace the lineage of civilizations back to our biblical ancestors. As a result, we experience a closer connection with the Bible.
As illustrated in figure 3: China, Persia, Greece, and Rome are all descendents of the Japhetic line. The Bible History Timeline shows this lineage with color coordination. The Japhetic line is represented by the color blue, the Semitic line is green, and Hamitic line is red.

Wednesday on MSNBC's "MTP Daily," Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said while she still has confidence in FBI Director James Comey, his explanation of why he announced a new investigation into then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton days before the election was "baloney."
Partial transcript as follows:
TODD: Let me start straightforward. Did Director Comey convince you that he made the right decision?
FEINSTEIN: No. As a matter of fact, it went strongly the other way. I went back to the office. I read the policy of the FBI with regard to announcing things shortly before an election. This was 11 days before. He didn't get a search warrant to see what was in the Weiner computer, but I guess he made an assumption that they were all new emails. In fact, none of them were new emails. There were 3,000. Twelve were classified and they were duplicates of everything that he had before. So he announces he is reopening the hearing. There is new information, which implies that there's new evidence. Well, there really wasn't. And guess what happened?
TODD: What's the recourse?
FEINSTEIN: There is no recourse. The election took place. Secretary Clinton lost. And I just can't believe what happened. And for some reason, he felt terribly torn that he couldn't hold this information for 11 days. He couldn't go and get a warrant, a search warrant, find out what was in that computer. And there was nothing that was new.
TODD: What do you make of his straw man argument? And I've heard this, from people close to him. The straw man argument is this senator if he withholds it, she wins the election, it comes out that they had, that they got a tip on this, they were searching an extra computer, there was classified information shared with Weiner, all of a sudden you would have all sorts of Capitol Hill haywire, at least on the Republican side, and all sorts of hearings, hamstringing the new president. What do you do? What do you say to that argument?
FEINSTEIN: Well, that argument in my view is baloney. If you have a doubt, and there was a reason to have many doubts, you would get a search warrant. And you would. You say let's see what we have before we go out and indict, and if they looked at what they had, they would have to say, well, there's nothing new. We looked at all of this before. Ergo, there is no case. And then two days before the election, he came back and essentially said that. But it was too late then. And I — it is very hard for me to believe that he felt so sanctimonious about coming forward. Let me just say this was a historic election. This was the first woman. She was very qualified, eight years a United States senator, first lady, secretary of state, did a good job, prepared herself, went out. She won the popular vote by three million votes. She lost the electoral vote narrowly and everybody that knows her and I think her pollsters among them, believe this played a role.

MT Floating Turkey Hunt
I had an awesome opportunity to join the great crew of Montana Decoy on a float turkey hunt on the Yellowstone river in eastern Montana. It was an experience I will never forget and I was able to also take a nice jake on the last day. It was also the first time I had ever hunter with the new Bowtech Guardian bow and I was impressed. Pictured with me are (left to right) Drew Steinberger the marketing manager and owner Jerry McPherson.

Re: 425th Squadron, 308th Group, Flying Tigers
In reply to:
Re: 425th Squadron, 308th Group, Flying Tigers
Cheryl Ketcham 1/16/05
Cheryl: Thank you for your response, which gave me extra insight, and a way out.
The 14th (AVG)) USAAF was activated 10 March 1943, and
Mr.Maupin's letter of 29 Oct 43 refers to the 14th as Flying Tigers, which pretty well wraps up that part of the inquiry.
If he said they were F/T, then I agree.
Itis probably out of print, but I recommend that you check out a copy of the bookreferenced earlier, DING HAO, which translates "It is good."
A terrific reference covering the C-I-B operations.
It quantifies their "kills", and identifies their Aces.

I was born on Aug. 3rd.. My Birth dad said it was the greatest day of his life. I doubt a lot of things.. I have so many questions, but there is one thing that I hold dearest to my heart, and that is how much my daddy loves me. I won't pretend that we didn't have rocky times over the years. I was a brat growing up.. attention seeking, reckless and sometimes well.. it doesn't matter. He loved me through it all. And he was no picnic either. He was strict, quiet, heavy handed and intimidating, but no matter what he always told me how much I was wanted and loved. He brushed my hair and got me ready for school. He picked me from practices, he missed me when I went away to camp, he prayed for me when times were hard...
He told me often the story of when I was born and said, " Like God knew Jacob in the old testament before he was born, I knew you. I asked for you like Abraham and Sarah begged for Isaac. I begged for you. "
( Daddy is REALLY religious and French, so he told me LONG speeches, that I never appreciated until he stopped giving them to me)
I don't think there is a greater love than that of a father for his baby girl.

There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
I am the queen and this is my year, and nothing, NOTHING is impossible

It prevents backflow (regurgitation) of oxygenated blood from aorta to the left ventricle when the latter relaxes (diastole) after contraction (systole). Aortic valve is a semilunar valve with three cusps, which close in diastole.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Briana and Henry's travel nursing story is already an epic on par with anything by Proust (he wrote the longest book according to the people at Guinness. We Googled it.)
Briana and Henry, both tele travel nurses with Aya, are two of the lucky ones whose reality actually lives up to their Instagram accounts. They've traveled for just over a year and it seems they are destined to check every picture-perfect spot in the western hemisphere off their bucket list. Whether striking a warrior pose after snowshoeing for the first time in Lake Tahoe, or canoeing across Lake Louise on a holiday in Alberta, they look good doing it. Working the same schedule leaves them plenty of time for excursions. When asked if they ever fight, Briana says almost apologetically, "Truthfully no. We are just really happy with what we are doing right now." And as if these two weren't already adorable enough… they just added Bailey, an 8-week-old golden retriever pup to the family.
Both originally from New England, they've long had their sites set on the West Coast and hit the road as soon as Briana got a year of nursing under her belt. Seeking lucrative assignments and stunning vistas, they found the best of both worlds in Reno, Nevada. Henry says "We really wanted to go to Reno and the company we were with at the time didn't have the connections. Aya was able to get us wherever we wanted to go." They were taken with the beauty of the surrounding mountains (not to mention the "not-quite a-mansion" they shared with two other travel nurses) and soon discovered that for them, travel nursing was about so much more than great pay. Briana says "The experience itself is so invaluable. Forget about the money."
For this duo, travel nursing is about so much more than just the adventures they have on their days off. Traveling with Aya has allowed them to consistently add to their expertise and build their resumes into a veritable alphabet soup of new certifications. Their current hospital in Washington State is paying for an NIHSS course, which is just one of the ways this career has expanded their horizons. "There are all these different skills and certifications that we accumulate along the way," explains Briana. "They help us go to new hospitals with confidence and say 'Yeah, I've done that.'"
In addition to all the traveling, puppy training and professional development, they somehow still find time to indulge other passions - namely running and music. On their frequent road trips, they always make sure to have a kickin' soundtrack since, as Henry says, the tunes "keep it entertaining." It's fitting that they recently ran the Seattle Rock 'n' Roll half marathon (well Briana did - the 5K was more Henry's speed) and they look forward to the Las Vegas race this November, where Henry plans to add the 10k to his repertoire. The pace of their lives tends to run just as fast off the track as on. They will soon be back on the highway, 90s jams on the radio, bound for the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park or some other natural wonder. Of their generally action-packed lifestyle, Briana says simply "We don't rest too much. Sometimes we find ourselves a little sleep deprived, but it's so worth it."

Remember the time when you had to go door to door to get the tools to start
a new project, buying servers, routers, connection, and building a website
from scratch, relying on your programming and networking capabilities?
Probably most of today's entrepreneurs are too young to remember the
challenges of being a one man show. And that's fantastic.
Nowadays there are so many tools to help new ideas to become real products
that most of the barriers can be overcome in a question of days, or even
hours, giving the entrepreneurs the means to respond to fastest time to
market and "monetize" their creativity and projects.
The cloud technology is becoming a key factor for the launching of many new
services and virtual products, or for the beginning of companies, that in
the "old days" would never transform into reality.
If you are a young and restless entrepreneur consider how much you can save
by relying on a cloud service:
- You can have access to the best breed of IT infrastructure services
in form of web services
- No initial investment: you can rely on a model of pay as you go
that gives you the opportunity to experiment the business model
- You have the agility to scale the service almost infinitely,
adding or removing services as you need them, from bootstrap to worldwide
- The reliability and security of the services and data is assured by
the best technology and certifications
In fact, what companies like Amazon, Facebook and Google took years to build in their own datacenters you can buy in a few clicks. Just add your idea of a winner service or project to guarantee the success.
So, what are you all waiting for?

Costume Progress 6/29!
And then there were three...Arabian costumes left to make! So last week was a good week, I got one costume finished. The closest one to hitting the finish line next is Diane's fun purple and teal Arabian costume. I decided to take the bridle on this one in a different direction. I've still got a lot of details to add to the bridle before it's really considered done, more tassels, reins, and rhinestones! The drape tassels are also all completely done and ready to sew onto the saddle as soon as I have that part ready for it! Hopefully I'll be able to finish this one or come really close to it this week sometime! It sure fits Rasha nicely!
Jessica's costume saddle got put together last week! The seat is covered, and the trim is mostly added except for some brown along the bottom panel where I ran short on brown thread! The good news is I've got some more now so I can continue on with that. I've got the nose chain done; we decided to go with gold coins and a gold charm on this one. I tried to take a good photo of it today but that one came out blurry so I'll have to try again. This one might be finished or close to done next week already if all goes according to plan! I also took a picture of this set on my bay PSA to get an idea of how it looks because the set is being made to fit a bay Bint Soraya resin. I really think the turquoise just pops on a bay so I think it's going to be great!
Heli's costume is being born one careful stitch at a time so far, and I have to say I'm having a blast embroidering the panels for this set. I've got the main colors blocked out on each panel now, and next I will go in and embroider the stars with silver thread. After that I will freehand in all the various swirls and curls that will go into making the panels rich with detail and authentic in feeling. This design is a collaboration of some of my own ideas combined with looking at reference photos of real native costume designs. I hope to have this costume done by the end of July, which shouldn't be too hard once the other two are all finished up!
And that's how my work bench is looking for the past week! 32 hours of sewing....here's hoping to do it all again this week!
Thanks for reading & happy collecting!

With his career extending many years in the licensing industry, Michael Gottlieb began with Warner Bros. reestablishing their own Consumer Products and Merchandise Licensing company in their first London office. Gottlieb was fortunate to work on the world famous Looney Tunes character grouping and the soon-to-be dominate motion pictures based on DC Comics impactful superheroes: Superman, Batman and more. These two large and broadly appealing properties allowed Gottlieb to test his naturally creative concept development abilities and business instincts in nearly all demographic market segments and retail categories.
Gottlieb's creative development programmes have won many awards two examples of which are the EMI Music Publishing and Sainsbury's placing song lyrics on clothing… which won the Licensed Apparel Award in 2009 and Sony/ATV's licensing programme with Mothercare and Marks and Spencer—the Mothercare campaign won the Best Direct to Retail License for 2007 from Global License magazine.
Gottlieb has now ventured out on his own forming Sunny Side Up Licensing specialising in music lyric licensing and more.
Clients past and present include Sony/ATV; Carlin; EMI; Imagem Music; Peermusic; Universal Music; Warner Chappell as well as Richard Hammond; Donny Osmond; Sooty and Sweep; and the recent award winning Karisma Kidz.
