Making a marriage work with a traveling spouse
Making a marriage work with a traveling spouse
Parenting is tough stuff, and when you are going at it alone most of the time, it can feel impossible. After my husband graduated with his Master's, he was offered a consulting job that was a great fit for his skill set and his future career goals. The catch was that it would often require Monday-Thursday travel. We had four boys and lived 2,500 miles from family. After a million pro/con lists and hours of prayer, we decided to give it a go.
My three oldest children were 9, 7, and 6, and my baby was one. Mike traveled like this for about 18 months. While the boys' ages made the physical demands a bit easier, it was emotionally challenging because they were old enough to realize that dad wasn't home much. We went into the situation with eyes open, but below are some things we learned along the way. With the world becoming increasingly global, more and more families are in this spot ... hopefully these ideas can ease the strain of having a traveling spouse.
1. Start with a solid foundation
If your marriage is on the rocks or if there are trust issues, a traveling career will most likely exacerbate those insecurities. Don't even think about it unless your marriage is on good footing.
2. Make the traveling decision together
This is crucial. Weigh all the options and decide together if it is the best thing for your career and your family. This makes all the difference during the most difficult times ... you can both look back and remember that you both said you would do this, together.
3. Take time for yourself
If you have the means, don't feel guilty about using a babysitter. Using a babysitter allows you to feel like you are missing out much less often. Find someone you can count on and pay them well. If money is tight, save up for when you really need it. If there is no money at all, trade with someone. You need to have a little time each week for yourself. When I took time during the week to get out, I didn't have such a need to escape when my husband got home. This allowed us to have much needed family time instead of constantly separate parenting time; our kids needed us to all be together as much as possible.
4. Get your grown up time in
I found that more than anything else, I missed having adult conversation when my husband was on the road. So, take all the opportunities during the day that you can to hang out with adults ... play dates, school functions, gym classes, book clubs, etc. Also, if there is someone who is single or has a spouse who works weird hours, do dinner together once a week. It made a huge difference to talk with adults every day.
5. Set up a time to call and connect
This is crucial for the traveling spouse. Encourage the kids to talk and show him/her all their cool stuff every day. This allows everyone to stay connected. Finding the right time for the two of you to talk is also incredibly important. At the end of the day we were both exhausted and distracted, so we decided to chat during my husband's lunch break or while he was in the car. This gave us some uninterrupted talk time when we were both more emotionally available. When we tried to talk too late, it never turned out great. Usually just a quick good night, and we both had to be okay with that.
6. Keep your kids positive and grateful
I tried to never complain to my boys that their dad was gone or missing things. My husband hated not being there and I never wanted them to think he was happy to be missing out. I always tried to remind my kids that their dad was working hard so that I had the opportunity to stay home with them. I wanted to be sure they knew he hated missing out even more than they hated having him gone. Even when I was especially frustrated, I tried to stay positive for them.
7. Plan for the things that matter
Even with traveling jobs, there is often some flexibility for important occasions. Decide together what those are for your family, and have the traveler do his or her best to be home on those dates. Sometimes it just won't happen and that is okay, but at least try. One more tip along these lines, the traveling spouse has to realize how important it is to be home on the weekends. Minimize extras that take him or her away. I was always okay Monday-Thursday, but when it seeped into Friday, started on Sunday or when he had too many individual needs to take care of on Saturday, it made things especially difficult.
8. Make real food
I know this is weird but one of the best/worst things about a traveling spouse is that there is no one to cook for. Lots of times I would feel sick at the end of the week and realize I hadn't really made eating or eating healthy food a priority. A few months in I tried to change that so that we were all eating better food. I would also go out with the kids once a week for a little variety. This worked well since my husband was hoping to have some home cooking after being on the road, and I was happy to have someone home who appreciated the effort I put into a good dinner.
9. Give yourself permission to break down
You are not a bad mom because you can't always do everything and stay happy. You will have bad days. You will cry on the floor. You will miss games for one kid and recitals for another. You will forget due dates for science projects and probably not log as many reading minutes as you had planned to. You will feel like a failure and you will want to call it quits pretty often. One parent cannot do and be everything, and that is okay. Just keep doing your best and know your limits. I knew that after 8 p.m., I was worthless and grumpy, so the rule was everyone needed to ask for everything they needed before then ... that meant bedtime stories, homework help, drinks of water, even hugs ... all of it. After 8, I became a monster.
10. Decide what will happen when the traveler returns home
You might think this will happen naturally, but it doesn't. My husband was always so excited to see me and the kids, he just wanted to be together. I was so excited to be able to have a minute to myself, I just wanted to walk out the door. He, as the one gone all the time, sometimes forgot what it was like to have 4 crazy kids and would be a bit impatient when things didn't go smoothly with the boys. I would be frustrated at his impatience and over parent, making him feel unwanted and like he was ruining our groove. Obviously, this caused more contention than harmony. Once we realized what we both needed and how to meet those needs, things went so much better. All it took was about an hour alone for me so I could recharge and a little preparation and self-awareness on his part ... pretty simple.
11. Take your date nights
It is hard when the traveler hasn't seen the kids much to leave again, but you have to keep your marriage strong ... it is essential to spend good, alone time together when you are away from each other so often, so make it a priority. If you are still feeling guilty, go after the kids are in bed or after a full Saturday together!
12. Talk about sex
This might be uncomfortable, but it is a conversation that you will need to have. Maybe the person home will need a little space, and maybe the one who has been gone will need extra affection. You will be seeing each other much less often, and you have to keep that portion of your relationship alive. You both might have to be a little extra sensitive and be willing to see things through the eyes of your spouse in order to make things work. Don't think it doesn't matter ... it does!
13. Find a safe time to talk about frustrations
One of the hardest things about having a traveling spouse was that while we were both okay, neither one of us enjoyed NOT being together. This would cause some real frustrations on both sides. When my husband was frustrated or especially missing us, he would want to just find a new job, which would put me on edge. When I was frustrated or overly emotional, he would feel guilty about accepting the job in the first place. These types of conversations never ended well. We should have said something like, "I know that this job is what we are supposed to be doing right now, but this part of life is so frustrating. Can we do something to change it or is this something we just need to get through? Is there anything we can do to make it easier?"
14. Ask for help
If you have more than one child, chances are, you will need some assistance. Work out carpools, talk to coaches and teachers, sign up for lessons that are close by, simplify if you can. You will be surprised at how often two things happen at once and how badly everyone needs you at the same time. You will need an extra adult hand at times, so prepare for this...grandparents, neighbors, or friends will hopefully be willing to share their time, love and gas with your family during those emergencies. Be grateful and helpful in return.
The most important thing is to have each other's back. Ideally, your spouse would have a job 5 minutes from home that was low stress, 40 hours per week and paid well. He or she would be able to be at the school for mid-day programs, be able to coach teams, drive one way of the carpool and always be home for dinner, refreshed and willing to help. Life is rarely ideal, but with a little effort, it can be manageable and even enjoyable, most of the time. And, if it is not, keep looking and hold on ... a better fit might be just around the corner!

New York, New York
IBI Group's creative design solution for this 750-student middle and high school facility involves a six-story structure rising from within an existing three-story building shell. The latter was built in 1924 and was the original address of the legendary Harlem jazz club Small's Paradise, as well as home to The Interstate Tattler newspaper (1925-1932). Consequently, the structure's significance for the Harlem community is immeasurable. The project team worked closely with the New York City Board of Education and with residents of Harlem, addressing the concerns and adhering to the design guidelines and requirements of both groups. The two street facades of the existing building were preserved during demolition and are now an integral part of the overall design for the new structure. IBI Group successfully incorporated the three-story addition in such a way that the new construction is compatible with the look and feel of the original building. The new upper floors are set back from the original building and feature the same materials, colors, scale, and rhythms of the existing structure, culminating in the new gymnasium which acts as a crown, especially at night when it is illuminated and glows like a beacon.

Beautyblender features an open cell structure that fills with small amounts of water when wet. This allows the sponge to be "full" so that the makeup product sits on top of the sponge rather than being absorbed, allowing you to use less product every time. When wet, beautyblender nearly doubles in size and becomes even softer, returning to its original size when it air dries. Handcrafted in the USA.
Beautyblender has chosen to use safe, water-soluble dyes that do not harm the environment and will maintain the integrity of their proprietary foam. For this reason, you may notice some color run off or wash away the first time you wet beautyblender. This is normal and will disappear after you have cleansed the product several times. Please note: the color will not transfer onto the face or clothing.

Northwest campers are urged to buy firewood near campgrounds to avoid transporting wood that could spread invasive critters.
The "Buy It Where You Burn It" campaign was announced by the Washington Invasive Species Council and is a joint effort with Oregon and Idaho. The council says wood-boring insects that have defoliated forests in the Midwest and East can travel in firewood.

New site!
My old high school buddy, Sudip, has headed off to Iraq for a year or so. I've been receiving emails from him every so often with updates on what's been going on, so I decided to create this web site for him to get the updates out to an even wider audience. Basically though, it's just going to be his words from the emails he sends me. I hope you will find it interesting to hear his perspective.

THE wedding invitation was for 6:30 p.m.; the attire, black-tie. Still, the Broadway producer Margo Lion was not about to alter her light-blue nail polish.
Four days earlier, during Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention, the first lady's bluish-gray nail polish (soon identified as Vogue, part of the Artistic Colour Gloss line by Artistic Nail Design of Beverly Hills) had set off a frenzy in the mediasphere and, among style seekers, a stock-depleting run on the lacquer.
"Colour Gloss is a smaller company and is adapting to the huge demand for the color Vogue after the first lady wore it at the DMC," read a message at enailsupply.com, urging patience and assuring that orders would be fulfilled in the order received.
(Red being a more conventional manicure choice, it's not surprising that no such stampede was reported on the shade worn by Ann Romney at the G.O.P. convention.)
Ms. Lion, a major Obama supporter and a member of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, had had a pragmatic partisan response. The idea came to her, she said, the day after Ms. Obama's speech, "to show solidarity with the first lady and the president by wearing some shade of blue or silver polish from now until Election Day." She sent off an e-mail to several dozen friends and acquaintances urging them to follow suit. The responses were near-instantaneous, and the e-mail network started to expand.Continue reading the main story
It did not go unnoticed that Ms. Lion was proudly flashing her blue nails at the wedding of Jordan Roth, the president of Jujamcyn Theaters, and the talent manager Richie Jackson — a marriage made possible in New York State by the Marriage Equality Act and supported by the Democratic platform of Mr. Obama's party.
Light blue was already the summer's color of choice for many women in the under-40 range (one blogger described it as "equal parts Katy Perry and high school goth"), but Ms. Obama is 48, and many of her new nail followers are around the same age. The San Francisco-based writer Ayelet Waldman, 47, who is married to the novelist Michael Chabon, said: "I just ordered the color online, so it's not yet on my nails. But I'll be rocking it, as will at least a few of my kids. And we're going to make their father wear it."
The lyricist Susan Birkenhead, 68, who lives on the Upper West Side and has worked with Ms. Lion in the theater, gets her Obama-blue nails done at either Pinky on Columbus Avenue or Dashing Diva on West 72nd Street, which stocks its own brand's Pier 39 — a light turquoise — and the gray Concrete Playground, as well as colors by others. (The designer Bobbi Brown has just made her nail-varnish debut with a Desert Twilight Turquoise, and Revlon makes the suggestively named Blue Slate.)
Not that high-end salons are being snubbed as elitist by the Democrats: a New York arts administrator, who declined to give her name because she works for a publicly financed institution, described striding into Elizabeth Arden the morning after the convention to declare her solidarity, and saying, "I want a blue as close to Michelle Obama's as possible."
And it didn't take long for the official Obama camp to pick up on the trend. On Sept. 19 the campaign's Web site unveiled the so-called For All initiative to engage young people between ages 18 and 29. It featured celebrities photographed demonstrating instructions for writing a personally meaningful word about progress on their right hands, then tweeting or Instagramming the hashtag #forall. As soon as the campaign heard about Ms. Lion's blue-nailed cohort, an invitation went out to send photos to the For All brigade's barackobama.com/photos-from-the-field/forallcom.
"The power of an image is enormous," Ms. Lion said. "We can't just sit around with clear nail polish on our hands."Continue reading the main story

The CBI Index is a rating system designed to measure the performance and appeal of global citizenship by investment programmes across a broad range of indicators. Its purpose is to provide a rigorous and systematic mechanism for assessing citizenship programmes, to facilitate the decision-making process for individuals considering them, and to bring value to the citizenship industry.
The CBI Index assesses all countries with operational citizenship by investment programmes, which today include the following twelve nations: Antigua and Barbuda, Austria, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Comoros, Cyprus, Dominica, Grenada, Malta, Saint Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, and Vanuatu.
A primary methodological objective was to isolate factors that could satisfactorily measure programme features and jurisdictional desirability. Seven factors, or 'pillars,' were identified for this purpose. The Seven Pillars that constitute the CBI Index include:
Arriving at an appropriate rating for the Seven Pillars involved a complex combination of benchmarking, statistical analysis, and comparative investigation.
Each of the Seven Pillars is scored out of a maximum of 10 points, calculated on an averaging basis from the scores of composite indicators and sub-indicators. The maximum attainable score achievable by a programme is 70, with all final scores expressed in terms of a percentage of the total points available. For example, a perfect, 70-point score would be expressed as 100 percent.
It should be noted that, due to the vast number of statistics, indicators, and sub-indictors available for analysis, no single approach exists for the rating of citizenship by investment programmes. In framing the CBI Index however, reliance was only placed on official sources from institutions of the highest international standing and on the specialised input of industry experts, whose contributions and responses were used to obtain and interpret both qualitative and quantitative data used in the construction of the CBI Index.
The Freedom of Movement Pillar awards the most points to countries whose ordinary citizens can travel to the highest number of business hubs and overall foreign destinations either without a visa or with a visa-upon-arrival.
The Standard of Living Pillar awards the most points to the countries with the highest quality of life. Factors include life expectancy, education, security, income, GDP, and freedom (including political and civil liberties).
The Minimum Investment Outlay Pillar awards the most points to the country with the lowest investment threshold. The investment level is measured for a single applicant, and, where a programme offers multiple investment options, the most affordable option is selected.
The Mandatory Travel or Residence Pillar awards the most points to the countries that impose the least travel or residence conditions. This includes any travel for the purposes of attending an interview, swearing an oath of allegiance, or giving biometric information, and any travel that could be waived by paying a costly fee.
The Citizenship Timeline Pillar awards the most points to the countries that take the least amount of time to process applications for citizenship by investment. Considerations include average times and fast-track options.
The Ease of Processing Pillar awards the most points to the countries that make the application process smooth and seamless. Indicators include whether the applicant has to sit for an interview, purchase real estate or other assets, or show previous business experience, language skills, or knowledge of local history or culture. Other indicators include whether a country has a government website and a dedicated citizenship by investment unit, and whether the country's programme is stable.
The Due Diligence Pillar awards the most points to the countries that obtain the greatest amount of information on and from their applicants before awarding them citizenship. Factors include internal and external due diligence checks, police certificate requirements, fingerprinting or other biometric data collection, source of funds analysis, and bans on countries of origin (whether for the applicant or for the applicant's funds).

So I happened to be out in Seattle, WA and Portland OR for bidness and decided I would check in on some friends of Midwest. It's a company called Precision Helicopters. http://www.flyprecision.com/ They have a bunch of Guimbals, A-stars and a few other odds and ends.
I got in touch with them a week before I went out and had a loose plan.
I finished up with my meetings and started heading south. The drive from Portland to Newberg was pretty sweet. Nice country out there.. it's all wine and logging.
I met Nigel and we went through a quick ground and risk assessment. All looked good so we grabbed a G2 and walked around it for the preflight. We hopped in and fired it up. We were around 3000 MSL and had around 18 gallons of fuel on board. The idea was we'd very slowly and carefully introduce me to mountain flying.
We made our calls and we were off. We flew past a few vineyards and within 5 minutes we were in the foothills. Nigel demonstrated a bunch of pinnacles and a running takeoff. I followed on controls for most of it then we started in on a few pinnacles. AMAZING. Everything is different. You come in sort of like a steep but your spot is an imaginary place above the ground by 10 feet. You plan for your ditch so far in advance and at a moment in time there is a go / no-go point. If it feels right you continue down to that spot that is 10 feet above where you are really going to put your skids down. We drilled on that for 15 or 20 minutes then Nigel demo'd another running takeoff.
Every landing was a slope and every takeoff was close to a max performance. So so so cool. I learned so much in just 1.5 hours.
We headed back and we did some autos that were… possibly the coolest display of control I'd ever seen. I hadn't seen an auto done with such surgical precision. (When I left I actually went out and bought the dude a bottle of bourbon and drive back to the airport because I was that impressed.)
I met David the owner, thanked him for the time and left with a huge smile on my face. I didn't get to shoot any video but it was eye opening to put it VERY MILDLY and I promised myself I'd head back out. Hopefully this spring I can find a window to head out when the air is nice and cool.

when all you can do
is hand your worries over
and let God
take care of the problem.
Pray and Trust. That's what we're going to do.
|Like what you see?
It's prosaic, but time does wound all heels.ReplyDelete
Ohhh, I'm so sorry. Those kinds of wounds are painful, and trust is a fragile thing. You know, of course, that God will return to us that which the enemy has stolen. And he knows how to heal wounded hearts. Prayers for the betrayed one--and prayers for you, too. god will give you wisdom.
(((Meg))) I am so sorry; I truly am. You know what, you are right, God is seeing what is going on and we will let God be the judge of actions and wrongs made. Of course you can't say anything to her or shouldn't say anything to her because your words will be twisted and turned around. Pray for her; I know it is hard to say, but pray for her.......(praying for you all)
This person has grieved the holy spirit to your friend. In Jamaes 3 it reminds us that the tongue is very powerful. People have been deeply wounded with words.The biggest debt that that you owed, was lovingly paid for you. paid in full by Jesus.
God said in his word. If you want to live in the world and receive his full forgiveness.
You must forgive others that have hurt you.
Not for a eye or a tooth for a tooth.
If you do not forgive this girl in your heart that has hurt your sweet friend. Really your giving the keys to Satan. He loves it.
Then if you pray for the one that hurt her and for yourself. A thought is a sin.
Be healed of thoughts , judgement and you will see truiumph over all this.
This is what God wants in this matter. Ask God to help you to forgive them and ask God to forgive you for your thoughs.
Think this. Lord make me be Willing to be Willing. To pray for this girls tongue who hurt your friend.
Be a new wineskin that will hold the new wine of the holy Spirit. To walk in freedom and love.
I myself have had to do this . Forgive those who have hurt me.
I know what you say is true, and I have told my loved one that she will have to forgive. I am not practicing what I preach today, but I'm trying to have a right attitude about it. It's just not happening today.Delete
I am so sorry - that has to be incredibly hard. sandieReplyDelete
If it had come from a known enemy it would be one thing. But I think it's the most painful when it's a betrayal of trust, from one you thought was a friend. Yeah, that's a DEEP cut. I know you'll take this to the Lord, and He will meet you. {{{hugs}}}ReplyDelete

System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP) Preview 2 is now available. If this is your first time looking at the SCUP Preview check out the announcement for Preview 1 here.
In SCUP Preview 2, the update catalog format has been enhanced to provide a better experience for users when consuming large update catalogs. Improvement include:
- Indexing for quicker imports of previously imported catalogs – Catalog producers can now index their catalogs. This will allow users to import large catalogs containing few new updates more quickly.
- Inclusion of signing certificates within updates catalogs – Catalog producers can now include signing certificates with their updates catalogs. This enables users to add the certificates to the trusted publishers list during import so that approval prompts will not block publish operations.
Note: While old catalog formats are still supported, catalog producers will need to add information to their existing catalogs to take advantage of these improvements.
- Signature Timestamp – Updates published to a WSUS server will by default have the signature time-stamped. Note, this functionality requires internet access. If you have upgraded from preview 1 this will not be automatically enabled. To enable or disable the signature timestamp or configure the timestamp server that is used see the Advanced page under Options.
Preview 2 also includes fixes for issues based on feedback submitted during the first preview.

We'd got back to Lerwick after our game on Whalsay at around 1800 on 7 June 2011. Craig and Stu had booked themselves into a hotel, allegedly not far from where I was staying. Now Lerwick's a pretty small place, with a population of around 20,000, but the guys couldn't remember the name of the street where their hotel was, so the next half hour was spent cruising around, looking for the place. Just as we were giving up all hope, having drawn a blank with local enquiries, the owner of a small back-street Bed & Breakfast place phoned Craig to ask whether they were still on their way. By this time, we all needed a refreshment or 3 and at least there was a decent pub close by, followed by the afore-mentioned Chicken Volcano and fried rice. I'd like to report we had an early night in preparation for another long day's golfing, but no, that would be somewhat wide of the mark. Suffice to say that I picked the guys up at their B & B at 0730, as we'd 36 holes to play before the guys headed down to the airport for their afternoon flight back to Aberdeen en route to Edinburgh and home.
Shetland GC is an 18 hole moorland course of 5562 yards, Par 68, off the Yellow tees. The course is laid out on the floor and sides of a peaty valley, known locally as Dale. It had been raining for most of the night and as we teed off at around 0745, the rain was still falling. The course was even more damp than it had looked from the high road that almost surrounds the course and we were soon squelching our way across saturated fairways and through soaking clinging rough. This is Craig and Stu making their way down the 1st hole, a 354 yard Par 4. At least they'd found the fairway. I'd carved a wild hook into the heavy rough and was lucky to escape with a bogey. However, that was my shoes and trousers soaking wet. Perhaps is was just the darkening skies, the treeless landscape and the series of steep hills that looked to be awaiting us, but by the time we boarded the 2nd tee we'd agreed that this was likely to be a once-only visit.
The boggy conditions underfoot made progress difficult and tiring and even small inclines were being greeted by heart-felt promises that regardless of the physical demands of the course, we'd get round. The front 9 passed painfully slowly, but the 6th was a very decent hole, as shown here. This was a 297 yard Par 4, playing at least 350 yards in the absence of any run on the fairways. Although we'd noticed at Whalsay that at least an additional club was required for most shots, club selection at Shetland GC was even more difficult. I'd hit a decent drive up the left side of the fairway, narrowly missing a lateral water hazard, one of many streams that run through the valley floor, fed by rainwater from the surrounding high moorland. However, I still had an 8 iron to the green (falling short!). A good pitch and a tap in and I'd finally made a par. That was to be the highlight of the front 9, as I had a dismal 45, matching the weather and our gloomy spirits.
The rain eased a bit on the back 9, but although this was shorter than the front half of the course, the hills were even steeper, sapping our energies further and doing no good at all to the nagging tendonitis in my left Achilles tendon that had flared up, thanks to the heavy conditions. I did at least manage another 3 pars, including on this, the 18th. This is me looking suitably tired and not a little bedraggled after scoring an 85, net 75 or 7 over net par, with only 27 putts. It's not that my putting was especially good, it's that I was missing the greens due to under-clubbing and hitting some good pitches to the flags.
The Shetland GC had one further notable feature, a 150 yard improbably steep climb back to the car park. We'd gone round in well under 3 hours but none of us had really enjoyed it. Perhaps we were just tired before we started and the wet overhead and underfoot conditions didn't help, but none of us thought we'd want to play the course again. We were soon on our way to nearby Asta, hoping that its flatter fairways would be less tiring.

Disney Love for Young and Old
Nothing captures the delight of youth quite like Disney. Ask any child in your life what their favorite Disney movie is, and they will have a long list of reasons why Elsa and Anna are their favorite people or why Lightning McQueen is the best racecar in the world.
Disney is the most successful franchise in history, with decades of nostalgia that keep bringing parents and grandparents back for more – and bringing their own kids. And with the recent release of a live-action Beauty and the Beast, we can tell that the Disney love isn't going anywhere. Grossing over $145 million so far, the new movie has enchanted everyone from the youngest Belle dressed up in her Princess outfit to see the film, to those who remember the animated version released in 1991.
And if you liked the remake of Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella a few years ago, you'll be thrilled to hear that rumors are circling about up to fifteen new remakes of various Disney movies coming out in the next few years. So grab your popcorn, movie memorabilia, and brush up on your Disney song lyrics!
Do you have a young Disney lover in your life? Or maybe you treasure favorite memories of enjoying all of the shows as a child yourself. Many families make an annual pilgrimage to Disney World, which has expanded to include the Harry Potter universe, too. Along with Disney's recent acquisition of Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm, Disney is well-entrenched as the entertainment empire of the world. Disney continues to appeal to people of all ages. With the best visual artists and songwriters in the business, Disney is known for delivering stories of enchantment and catchy tunes that stay with you.
It's no surprise that Disney movies and characters have continued to offer the most popular themes for kids' birthday parties. And what better way to set the tone for your Disney themed birthday party in Las Vegas than with the perfect Disney cake?
With kids' parties, you want to set the right tone for the age of your child. A four year old may want a different cake than a 13 year old – though they may both want a Disney-themed party. If your daughter just can't "let it go" when it comes to Frozen mania (the highest-grossing animated film of all time), you may want to check out cake style 1802-Frozen Splendor Too or 1864- Frozen with Snowflakes for the ultimate ice princess party.

AbstractLocation-dependent differences of ambient magnetic fields inside a building can be used to estimate location. In this paper, an inertial/magnetic sensor is attached to a belt position and its location is estimated using the ambient magnetic field. The walking distance is estimated using the linear relationship between the walking step length and the maximum acceleration during the step. The magnetic field data during walking is compared with a pre-collected magnetic signature. In this process, calibration steps are required for two person-dependent parameters : the walking step length estimation parameter and the hard iron parameter. An adaptive algorithm is proposed, in which these person-dependent parameters are estimated in addition to the location. Thus no person-dependent parameter calibration process is required. Through experiments, it is shown that the location and parameters are estimated accurately. View Full-Text

A Few Answers To Questions You Always Wondered About
October 11, 2017 | 14 Comments » | Topics: Answers
How does a doctor go about revealing to his patient that he has a terminal illness?
They teach us to get down to the patient's level, so it doesn't feel like you're talking down to them (literally and figuratively). But, ideally you wouldn't tell them bad news in the waiting room. You would want to do it in an exam room or your office, where both of you can sit comfortably facing each other.
I was surprised to learn there is actually a really structured way on how to tell a patient bad news. Literally a 6 step process that all physicians are taught to follow.
For this example lest say the patient has lung cancer.
Generally the first step involves saying something like What is your current understanding of your condition or what have you been told so far this is to determine how much the patient knows. Because if the patient has been told the news by the radiology staff or another physician, you are just going to look stupid when you deliver the actual news (that the patient has cancer).
The second step is to say something like I'm sorry, but I have some bad news or I'm sorry, I truly wish I had better news for you this is what we call a warning shot. Basically it primes the patient's brain to accept the following sentence. These phrases help lessen the anticipation. Because, in a way, you have already told the patient the bad news without actually saying they have cancer.
The third step would be to actually say the news. Something like I'm sorry, but I have some bad news. The biopsy indicates you have invasive lung cancer some interesting things about this phrase is that it's short, simple, and pretty much universally understandable by anyone who isn't familiar with medicine. Things we aren't supposed to say would be like you have stage 4 small cell carcinoma instead of just you have cancer. Because a patient might misunderstand what you are saying.
The fourth step is to just be quiet. After you break the news to them the patient's brain will be flooded with emotion, adrenaline, and all kinds of thoughts. The rule of thumb is to be quiet for at least 10 seconds. It's important to let the patient process the news.
Interestingly, the hard part isn't even telling them they have cancer. It's answering any questions they might have and being supportive without being too emotional. The fifth stepis to find out if they have questions and provide them with answers. Some hard questions a patient might have would be, Is this because of the smoking, is this my fault, did I do this to myself, am I the reason my children will grow up without a mother? or the patient might just break down. I imagine it would be incredibly difficult to keep composure if the patient says something like I just found out my wife is pregnant and there is no chance I will get to witness the birth of my first child.
The last step is to develop a plan for follow up care. Find out what the patient's goals are. Do they want chemo or just hospice care? Chemo would offer a slightly increased life span (the life expectancy might increase from 3 months to 5 months) but your life could be miserable during those two extra months. Some patients know the prognosis is terminal no matter what is done, and they choose not to have any chemo so their last few months on earth can be a happy and comfortable experience. So, depending on the patient's goals (extending their life vs maintaining their quality of life) you would help them accordingly.
What car is the easiest and cheapest to repair and maintain?
My father was a high level import mechanic. We had a huge house when I was a kid because he was so good at wading through weird problems with strange cars. He would often spend hours Renaults, Peugeots and Skodas, he learned to speak foreign languages and called Europe late at night for parts and advice.
I am now passing his advice on to everybody here. These are the cars he drove and kept for his family. He kept these cars because they were easy to work on and he didn't want to come home from a hard day at work to have to fix a Saab or fight the electrical gremlins that are so common in Hyundais.
My father passed in 2011. But he would be happy I am sharing his advice.
Jeep Cherokee XJ Any year
When you look under the hood of the XJ you find that there is lots of room down there. It's an inline 6 and it has one cylinder in front of the other so that to the left and right of the engine there is a lot of room. Most of the time on 6 or 8 cylinder trucks the top of the engine takes up most of the space under the hood. On jeeps the engine is long and narrow. On the right side facing the car are the intake and exhaust manifolds. On the left the are the oil filter, cooling hoses and evap system.
What goes wrong?
Waterpump- On most cars you need to take off the valve cover and get kind of deep to replace a water pump. Not on jeeps, it is right out front, you just have to remove the thermostat and water pump. Easy!
High Speed Wobble- Jeeps commonly get a death wobble at high speeds. There are 3 steering components under the jeep that are easily accessible and the car doesn't need to be jacked up to fix it.
Valve Cover Gasket- Pretty common thing to fix on any car.
Struts- No new air compressor needed to swap struts.
Exhaust- The exhaust system sits low enough from the car and the car sits high enough up that you could probably do most exhaust repair without jacking the car up.
Changing oil on these jeeps is a pain in the ass.
91–97 Honda Accord
Like the jeep it has a lot of room underneath the hood. I have never heard of anybody getting rid of one of these because the engine was bad. Most of the time it's wheel issues or transmission issues that causes somebody to move on.
What goes wrong?
Drivers side wheel bearing- This one is a pain to fix, it requires a press and a cutoff tool.
Warped Rotors- Often because of a bad wheel bearing. These cars have hub over rotor which means you need to take off more stuff than you should have to for getting wheels off.
Timing Belt- I have seen timing belts on these go for 100k and more, but at some point you will need to do a timing belt.

What is it like to be a Navy SEAL Sniper
My initial reaction was to decline answering this question. Not an easy question to answer -almost uncomfortable for me. I am not quite sure how to address such a personal question…I recognize the fascination that the public has with this strange profession & skill -both morbid and sensationalized at the same time. So here goes.
As a 12-year SEAL and Sniper, I spent the better part of my adult life learning, using, refining and living this skill, yet I find it difficult to put into words "what is it like to be a sniper?". In the Teams, older snipers and team leaders look for more "solitary and quiet" individuals that have focus and a "quiet" about them. Some individuals have a "comfortable knack" and a natural feel for navigating any environment unseen -the training takes this "knack" to a whole new level. An additional skill that is sought-out, honed and refined is something we call "Bubble Compartmentalization" -or the ability to block everything else out for long periods of time, except specific visual and observation skills -basically the ability to sit still, observe and calculate without losing your mind.
There is nothing glorious or sexy about the job. It is very hard on your body -and its not something you would want to chat about at a cocktail party. In my experience -people already have a formed opinion of what type of person you must be, what morals you have and that you must be a little "off", long before you even meet them. You spend days crawling, climbing, slinking, stinking -getting bit by every bug, scratched by every thicket -attempting to relieve yourself while laying on your side, looking thru night vision or scopes for endless hours, sleeping in 15 minute bursts -just to get to a "target area". Once on the target area – you do the business of a sniper, usually in support of a SEAL assault team that comes in fast and hard in helicopters -then fastrope down onto the target -take it down, then board and fly away. Now your work begins again -exfiltration, the art of getting out of the target area (sometimes with some very angry enemies running around trying to figure out what happened).
There are so many different skill sets that need to be constantly refined -as Sniper tactics, equipment, weather, enemy and ballistic trajectories change dramatically in an Urban-Sniper role. It is one thing to be able to hide in a jungle with vast areas of cover and concealment -it is an entirely other thing to be an effective sniper in a City or Urban Warfare environment. The difficulty factor goes way up. The amount of practice, study and hours spent mastering every type of environment (shooting from buildings, helicopters, ships, shooting thru glass, walls, different mathematical calculations for temperature, humidity, altitude, load, etc….it is a non-stop learning game -in addition to your other SEAL missions.
When I tell people that there are many complementary skill sets as a Sniper and a CEO of a company, they think I am absolutely crazy, but there are many. A good CEO is there to "support" his team and help make them look good. Not the other way around. To defer attention…and not be a jackass. The ability to focus on getting from A to B without being distracted, the ability to operate and maintain a company's focus thru constant changes, and adapting rather than causing panic. The ability to not have an ego in the game at hand and not make the mission, goal or success, "about me", but rather about everyone else. To use your power only when the moment is required -not flaunting it for all to see.
I apologize if this long-winded answer in the end does not give you the "meat and potatoes" of how it feels to be a sniper, but I find it extremely hard to clearly articulate something so personal and yet job oriented. There are many good books out there that do a hell of a job telling specific stories and giving blow-by-blow accounts of combat sniping missions. I was trained on the 50-caliber McMillian and Barrett Sniper Rifle by Carlos Hathcock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car…). He was a guest instructor to my sniper class, he was a good man and a great teacher. His book is a good book to start, but I feel my personal stories do not have a place here in this forum, so I hope I stayed on topic about how it feels….

How does a war veteran feel about the NFL/kneeling situation?
As a vet, I don't feel "disrespected".
I swore to defend all rights. Especially the unpopular ones that most people disagree with. Those ones need protected the most.
What does make me feel disrespected is when you drag MY service into YOUR argument and get offended on MY behalf.
Veterans are fucking tired of being brought out like dancing poodles for the fucking GOP and conservatives of this nation to further their own selfish, backwards, and archaic ideas.
That's disrespectful to us.
We are living, breathing people with our own thoughts and ideologies.
We don't belong to your team. We don't belong to any team.
We swore to uphold the Constitution. Part of that Constitution is these players doing exactly what they are allowed to do – peacefully protest.
Showing 100% reverence to a nation or symbol of the nation is NOT patriotism, it's nationalism.
And history has shown that nationalism is a very dangerous idea.

Swedish melodic pop metal band Amaranthe released their third album, Massive Addictive, this month. Formed in 2008, Amaranthe released their self titled debut in 2011 and the hugely successful The Nexus in 2013.
Amaranthe is made up of Jake E and Elize on vocals, Olof on guitars and keys, Morten on drums and Johan on bass. In October 2013, harsh vocalist Solveström left the band and was replaced by Henrik Englund.
Guitarist Mörck said of the album:
"We have lived and breathed this album every hour and every day the last year, and to know that this music is about to reach everyone's ears is beyond exciting. Following the first leg of The Nexus World Tour, we sat down and agreed that we wanted the next album to be really fresh, new and even to raise a few eyebrows, all while retaining our signature sound.
MASSIVE ADDICTIVE is in every way that huge leap forward we wanted to achieve and the album definitely contain our strongest song writing to date. The press often asks us to 'describe the album with three words'; this time, the answer is simple - it's MASSIVE, it's ADDICTIVE, and most importantly, it's AMARANTHE!"The new album is made up of 12 tracks:
- Dynamite
- Drop Dead Cynical
- Trinity
- Massive Addictive
- Digital World
- True
- Unreal
- Over and Done
- Danger Zone
- Skyline
- An Ordinary Abnormality
- Exhale
They recently released the first official track and video from the album which is the incredibly catchy Drop Dead Cynical:
You can grab a copy of the album from here.
The band also recently announced a few UK dates for next year:
March 19th ABC2, Glasgow
March 20th Academy 3/Club Academy, Manchester
March 21st Rescue Rooms, Nottingham
March 22nd The Marble Factory', Bristol
Sheffield, yet again missing from another bands UK tour dates - who isn't booking bands in my beautiful city thats what I want to know!!
Follow the band on:

Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover does not seem to be in a mood do friendship anytime soon since the news, that Kapil allegedly assaulted and abused him in an inebriated state while on a flight came out. And, now Sony is trying to get Sunil back and has even offered him a "no interaction with Kapil" clause to return to the show.
According to the latest report: Sunil has informed the channel that he is firm he will not return to show and if he does then he has a condition.
His condition is that he will have a minimum or no interaction with Kapil Sharma. He conveyed the channel that they can use his talent for other shows as he is bound by the contract with the channel. He told them that he could perform and entertain in other Sony shows just like he did in the grand finale of Indian Idol.
My intentions are to act and to entertain with dignity. For me, money can't be the only reason to do something, or not to do something. 🙏
— Sunil Grover (@WhoSunilGrover) April 5, 2017
The Tweet of the comedian, who featured as Dr. Mashoor Gulati and Rinku Bhabhi on the show, came after the news of Sunil returning to the show started getting viral.

On Friday, high school football teams across the state will play their first games.
One Northwoods school almost lost its program last season and is now putting in extra effort to prove themselves.
"It's kind of been a struggle the past few seasons fielding enough players," said Chequamegon head football coach Dan Pearsall.
After low roster numbers and safety issues, the Chequamegon school board nearly cut its football program last season.However, the Screaming Eagles are getting another chance at 11-man football.

To add to the ANZAC commemorations I have written a piece for the Sacrifice project about the only soldier to serve at Gallipoli who is commemorated by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in the United States. Travers Simpkin served with 2nd Australian Light Horse Regiment and was wounded at Quinn's Post in August 1915. He died in California in 1919.

'Sacrifice' – Project Update and New Post
The website for the new project has now been populated in outline with biographies completed for North Carolina and Virginia. Please consider following the project by subscribing to the blog. We're just about to begin to publicise it and to seek volunteers to help with the work.
The latest post tells the story of Baxter Franklin, a young farmer from North Carolina, who worked as a teamster in Canada and volunteered in 1914, aged 17, fought in Flanders with 10th Battalion (Canadians), and was evacuated sick in 1916. He died in Toronto in 1918 and was buried at Lake Logan, NC, near where he was born.
The Evolution of the Regular and Service Battalions of Princess Victoria's (Royal Irish Fusiliers) 1914-1918 – Part 4, The 5th, 6th, 5th/6th & 11th (Service) Battalions
Here may be found the background to this work and links to similar studies of the other Battalions of the Regiment.
5th & 6th (Service) Battalions
For a brief history of the 5th (Service) Battalion and the amalgamated Battalion in the First World War see: Johnson, F W E (Foreword). (1919). A Short Record of the Services and Experiences of the 5th Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers in the Great War. Naval & Military Press Reprint, 2009.
The has been no history written about the early years of the 6th (Service) Battalion. For a general history of the Regiment see: Cunliffe, M. (1952). The Royal Irish Fusiliers 1793-1950. London: Oxford University Press.
Immediately on becoming Minister of War, Lord Kitchener proposed that the British Army be expanded by recruiting wartime volunteers, rather than building upon the Territorial Force. These men would sign up for three years or the duration of the war, whichever was longer. On 6 August Parliament authorised the expansion of the Army by 500,000 men[1] and recruiting began immediately.
The first New Army battalion of the Regiment was raised on 10 August 1914 in Armagh. On 21 August 1914, Army Order 324 authorised the formation of the first six new divisions, which included the 10th (Irish) Division.[2] The nomenclature specified by the order meant that the new battalion of the Regiment was to be the 5th (Service) Battalion, Princess Victoria's (Royal Irish Fusiliers).

In March 2016 Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network (EDAN) organised an Eastern Africa Conference on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Implementation and Monitoring of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs were formally adopted by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in September 2015 paving way for the implementation of the new global development framework towards Agenda 2030. Having reached the transition from Millennium Development Goal's(MDG's) to SDG's, EDAN convened the conference to among other things raise awareness and build the capacity of National Federations of persons with disabilities in the Eastern Africa Region to engage their government in the planning, implementing and monitoring of SDG's.
The SDGs were developed through an inclusive process involving various stakeholders including Disabled People's Organizations (DPOs) and succeed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which guided development between 2000 and 2015. Unlike in the MDGs, disability in this new framework is referenced five times specifically in parts related to education, growth and employment, inequality, accessibility of human settlements, as well as data collection and monitoring. This was only possible because of the participation, involvement and spirited advocacy campaign by persons with disabilities and their organisations during the process of coming up with SDG's. There is need to sustain this campaign beyond having these mentions to ensure that this spirit is followed all through to Regional, National and local implementation processes.
In order to fully engage right from the beginning, EDAN has followed closely and with interest the process that brought about SDG's. It has in this respect been part of the Africa Interfaith Post 2015 initiative as well as the Kenyan NGOs initiatives. It has also worked with the disability movement both at National and international levels in the campaign for the inclusion of the disability concerns in coming up with the new Development platform.
It is in this light that EDAN organised this conference in order to fully engage right from the beginning with the process of planning for the implementation and monitoring the SDG's. The conference held at the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) Milele Guest House Nairobi was part of Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Development Programmes (IPDDP) in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) project which EDAN is implementing with the financial support of Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission (FELM). The goal of this project is to realize improved livelihoods of persons with disabilities by participating in development programs using the human rights based approach.
It brought together 78 participants representing national organisations of persons with Disabilities in nine countries in Eastern Africa sub-region, church, church development organisations and Non-Governmental Organizations development programme planners and implementers in the IPPDP project countries as well as other stakeholders in the SDG's implementation process.
The main facilitator of the conference was Dr. Elizabeth Lockwood, International Disability and Development Consortium/ International Disability Alliance and CBM Representative at the United Nations in New York. The conference programme consisted of daily devotions, plenary sessions, panel and group discussions. The opening plenary session included welcome comments and remarks, the official opening speech and key note address.
The conference participants were familiarized with the contents of the SDGs, were able to understand their role as well as how and with what institutions they can partner with in ensuring inclusion of persons with disabilities in implementation and monitoring of the SDGs at national, regional and international levels. The main achievement of the conference was the development of 3 in-country action plans which national organisations of persons with disabilities in these countries will use to engage meaningfully with the implementation and monitoring of SDGs.
EDAN will continue to follow up on the implementation of these action plans as well as advocate for inclusion of persons with disabilities in the implementation of the new goals in all the regions where it works.

At a panel entitled "Star Wars and Disney Parks: A Galaxy in the Making" this past Saturday, during Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, ambassadors from Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Imagineering revealed details regarding the proposed undertaking now underway at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts.
"This project is the most ambitious project I've ever seen in the history of Walt Disney Imagineering," explains Chris Beatty, Executive Creative Director Walt Disney Imagineering.
"The team shared exciting new details about the story behind this mysterious destination somewhere on the Outer Rim — lying on the edge of the Unknown Regions. The remote village was once a busy crossroads along the old sub-lightspeed trade routes, but the prominence of the outpost has been bypassed with the rise of hyperspace travel. Now home to those who prefer less attention, it has become a thriving port for smugglers, rogue traders, and adventurers traveling between the frontier and uncharted space. It's also a convenient safe-haven for others intent on avoiding the expanding reach of the First Order." —Disney Parks Blog
The Star Wars-themed lands are scheduled to open in 2019.

New England. It all comes back.
I'm at Eastern Point Retreat House in Gloucester, Mass. for the month. Yesterday, the 4th of July, supposed apogee of summer, traditional day of cookouts and sunburns, we were visited by a torrential downpour/borderline hurricane that continued the whole day long.
At night, instead of a bonfire under the stars, we had an actual fire in the fireplace--not to toast marshmallows over, or tell ghost stories around, but for warmth. This goes far toward explaining why I creep about L.A. wrapped in a hoodie, a couple of sweaters, and a scarf, 'just in case.' The forecast for the entire week, in fact, is gloom, wind, clouds and rain.
Jesus, I notice, had the good sense to be born in the Mediterranean: land of figs, grapes, wheat, and the healing rays of the sun.
No, seriously, who cares. It's all beautiful, all the time. There are all kinds of nooks and crannies in which to curl up with a book or just gaze, and one of my favorite outdoor spots is the adjacent Niles Pond, which teems with mallard ducks, cormorants (who stand on rocks with wings thrillingly outstretched, apparently to dry them), lily pads, and a pair of swans.
excuse me, the deluge has let up for a minute and since this may be my last chance for awhile, I'm going to go out and take a brisk walk before cabin fever sets in.

Purchasing chairs for a multiple user, 24/7 environment is always a difficult task. It seems that there are always compromises to be made in comfort, durability or functionality. Where do you start? How do you know if what your buying is actually a 24/7 chair? Finding the answers to your purchasing questions is not easy, but with a few simple steps, you can get the most out of your chair buying experience.
The biggest thing to remember when ordering chairs is to allow yourself enough time to make sure that you are making the right choice. Make sure that you have given yourself ample time to do all of your homework, research all of your options and demo any product you are considering.

Clearing and Settlement Procedure
Most stocks that are sold the "regular way" require delivery of certificates within three business days. On rare occasions a sale may be made as a "cash" transaction, requiring delivery the same day, or as a "seller's option", giving the seller the choice of any delivery day within a specified period (typically, no more than 60 days). On other occasions extensions to the three-day limit are granted.
It would be extremely inefficient if every security transaction had to end with a physical transfer of stock certificates from the seller to the buyer. Fortunately, certificates can be almost completely immobilized. The Depository Trust Company (DTC) maintains computerized records of the securities "owned" by its member firms (brokers, banks, and so on). Members' stock certificates are credited to their accounts at the DTC and the until a member withdraws them. Whenever possible one member will "deliver" securities to another by initiating a simple book-keeping entry in which one account is credited and the other is debited for the shares involved Dividends paid on securities held by the DTC are simply credited to members accounts based on their holdings.
Clearing Process:
The Process of clearing can be defined as :
"The preparation through matching, recording and processing instructions of a transaction for settlement".
Settlement can be defined as:
"The exchange of cash or assets in return for other assets or cash and transference of the ownership of those assets and cash".
After a trade has been executed, securities and money must change hands within five business days of the trade date, on what is called settlement date (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are excluded). For example, a trade on a Wednesday is settled the following Wednesday. Basically, two tasks are carried out in the clearing process: Trade Comparison and Settlement.
1. Trade Comparisons: The largest clearing corporation is the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC). The first four days of the clearing period are devoted to the trade comparison process and to resolving discrepancies in the transaction information provided by parties to a transaction. Unmatched trades are flagged. Much of this process is automated. 2. Settlement: The second step in the clearing process- the final settlement – is also automated and usually carried out through computer book entries. Certificates are jointly by the NYSE, National Association of Securities Dealers( NASD), and its major participants(brokers and banks). The DTC is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Federal Reserve System.
Screen Based Trading System:
The stock exchanges now provide an on-line fully automated 'Screen Based Trading System (SBTS)'. The important features of SBTS are : • A member can punch into the computer quantities of securities and the prices at which he likes to transact and transaction is executed as soon as it finds a matching order from counter-party. • It cuts down on time, cost and risk of error, as well as fraud, resulting in improved operational efficiency. • It enables market participants to see the full market on real time, making the market transparent.
Insider Trading :
Insider trading denotes dealing in a company's securities on the basis of confidential information relating to the company, which is not published and not known to the public. Used to make profit or avoid loss in transactions in securities of the company. 'Insider Trading' generally means trading in the shares of a company by the person who are in the management of the company or are close to them .
Traditionally, trades in India were settled by physical delivery. This means that the securities had to physically move from the seller to the seller's broker, from the seller's broker to the buyer's broker (through the clearing house of the exchange or directly), and...

Aromatherapy For Your Soul by Dr Silvia Hartmann
Hyssopus Officinalis: Bright, fine, young, aristocratic, freedom,
leads out of traps and cul-de-sacs, uplifting, gives you wings, see
the bigger picture.
Hyssop is very good for people who feel stuck in
their lives and yearn for more freedom - freedom of
self expression but also very practically, freedom
of movement in the body as well as in its deepest
metaphorical sense. Thus Hyssop is also helpful for
goal setting, planning, and to discover strategies
that get you from where you are to where you want to
The coach of a high-born lady has got stuck in the mud,
far from home. At first, only the servants were pushing;
now, night is falling and even the high-born lady is
struggling with the others in the mud, slipping and
falling down, getting plastered in mud from head to toe,
looking just the same as everyone else now.
A passing traveller of exotic origin pauses on a rise of
the road and views the scene with much amusement for a
while. Eventually, he rides down towards the weary,
muddy strugglers and points a finger - a wave of
invisible light travels towards them, enters into them,
clears out their muddy thoughts and weary struggle of
the day in an instance: they have an idea what to do!
With renewed vigour, they set to work, and soon, the
coach is freed, and finally, they're on their way.
