Some people might be surprised to find out that I do "Home Staging" in addition to selling real estate.
I started doing staging about 2 years ago, as a favor for a friend. My friend was putting his house on the market and listing the property with me and I offered some advice on making the home more attractive. This is something I did for all customers and it usually went no further than some advice/tips/suggestions that sort of thing. In this particular case he was simply too busy to do what I suggested and offered to pay for materials if I did the work. It was a fairly simple job that involved painting a couple of rooms and sprucing things up with some new artwork and window treatments.
It took about 10 hours of my time and the house looked amazing when I was finished. The house ended up selling within 3 days with multiple offers (over asking price) and thus my side-career as a Home Stager was born. Since then I've staged dozens of homes and condos. Home staging is simply another way of saying "decorating" with the emphasis on making the property more attractive to potential buyers. Staging can be as simple as re-arranging furniture and de-cluttering all the way to furnishing a vacant house. Staging a home can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to many thousands of dollars depending on what's needed. My average staging job is probably around $2500.00, which in the big scheme of things is a small price to pay if it means your home will sell faster and for a higher price. Consider the following statistics:
A typical home buyer decides if they are attracted to
a home within 8 to 10 seconds.
Only 10% of home buyers can actually visualize the
potential of a home.
U.S. Housing and Urban Development reports a staged home sells 17% higher than an un-staged home, on average.
Staged homes sell on average 6.32% over the listed price, un-staged homes only average at 1.6%.
The New York Village Voice reported that the average number of days on the market
for a staged house was 13.9 days versus 30.9 for an un-staged house.
In short, staging a home can really help sell the property, especially in a down market. I recently staged 3 model units at a condo development in Dorchester, The Schoolhouse at Lower Mills (see picture above). We had two offers within a week of the units going on the market and both were for the "staged" model units. I've had similar success with single family homes so if you know someone who's having a hard time selling their home you might suggest "staging" as a solution. It's often less expensive to invest in some staging than it would be to lower the asking price on a property.
So keep in mind that I offer Home Staging services (in addition to full real estate services) and am happy to provide complimentary estimates.

No, Amazon isn't Blocking Downloads of DRM-free Kindle eBooks
Posted: 09 Jan 2014 04:25 PM PST
Everyone panic! There's an unverified story about to break across the internet, and it involves a big mean internet giant being evil.
One Kindle customer has encountered a bug on his Manage My Kindle page and then after being misled by an uninformed Amazon rep, he concluded that Amazon had deliberately decided to no longer allow downloads of Kindle ebooks – not even the DRM-free ones.
To be more exact, the troubling report concerns the "Download and Transfer" which can be seen on Manage My Kindle page. According to this source that option has disappeared.
The Kindle customer in question is Eric Rosenfield, and over on his Wet Asphalt blog he posted a damning transcript of his conversation with the Amazon rep. I won't quote it here because of length but I will say that it had me worried at first.
Unfortunately for Eric there's a major problem with his conclusion. He's flat out wrong.
I double checked and I can still download ebooks from the Manage My Kindle page. I can download DRMed ebooks, I can download DRM-free ebooks, and I can even read the latter in calibre (without removing any DRM). And just to be doubly sure, I went and bought a Cory Doctorow ebook (his work is bound to be DRM-free). It downloaded just fine and I read it in calibre without any issue.
Here is my evidence:
Given that I had no issue, I can only conclude that Eric encountered a bug of some kind. That stinks, but it's not a sign of nefarious misdeeds on the part of Amazon.
P.S. If you should happen to see Eric's tale being passed around, please do everyone a favor and give them a link to this post. I am all for blaming Amazon but let's limit ourselves to only yelling about their actual misdeeds.
P.P.S. And since I did not say it earlier, I'd like to thank the commenters who set me straight on the Kindle DRM contract story that I got so incredibly wrong.

Amazon Vending Machines Now Popping Up in Airports, Malls
Posted: 09 Jan 2014 03:22 PM PST
My biggest issue with the Amazon retail store rumor is that Amazon has always chosen to make capital in hardware and systems as a way of reducing operating costs.
That's why they bought the robotics maker Kiva Systems, and that's why they invested in delivery boxes, so when I learned today that Amazon's retail footprint now included a vending machine spotted in McCarran Airport I was not at all surprised.
If you should happen to be flying through Las Vegas and in the mood for some uber-geeky sight-seeing, stop by Terminal C. That is where you will see this:
If you should think that vending machine looks familiar, your eyes aren't tricking you. I think it bears a striking resemblance to the vending machines which were said to be part of the Amazon booth which popped up last month. I only had a single poor quality image to post last month, but I thought the general design was the same.
Geekwire was the first to notice the vending machine in Las Vegas, and they report that they were the second to buy from it (a Kindle power adapter). The machine stocked Kindle ebook readers and tablets as well as accessories, including the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. While it might surprise you that someone could buy a $380 tablet from a vending machine, it's not the most expensive item I've seen. best buy has similar vending machines in airports and they sell iPads.
According to Geekwire Amazon's vending machine is operated by Zoom Systems, a company which makes similar vending machines for Media Markt, Reebok, Best Buy and other retailers. This is just one of the vending machines that Amazon has been installing in malls airports, and other locations across the US. They also reported that the shopping experience was not without issues; the machine hung once or twice before finally dispensing their purchase and printing a receipt.
It didn't, unfortunately, offer to let them enter an email so the sale could be associated with an account, and that is a pity. It would be nice if this machine were capable of vending Kindles and then attaching them to an account; the new user would be able to get them up and running that much faster. It also wouldn't be a bad idea if the machine offered a Kindle-only Wifi hotspot so customers could register new devices and download content.
P.S. Does anyone want to start a betting pool on when Amazon will buy Zoom Systems?

Pocketbook CAD Reader Comes to CES, Plays a Great Slideshow
Posted: 09 Jan 2014 10:54 AM PST
Pocketbook sent a couple of their next gen devices to CES 2014, but unfortunately only one worked.
The Pocketbook CAD Reader, that Android tablet with a 13.3″ screen, was present at CES in name only. Due to an unfinished firmware this device was restricted to only playing a slideshow but couldn't do anything like load apps, display blueprints (its raison d'etre), or browse the web.
But even so, I got a chance to play with this tablet and I was surprised. It was much lighter than any of the tablets with a similar sized LCD screen (I've seen a couple here at CES 2014) and it was much lighter than any other mobile device that large. The shell was featureless aside from the power button and USB port (for charging, obviously) so don't worry about not seeing the back or sides; there's nothing worth seeing.
The laptop in the gallery below is my Lenovo U410; it has a 13.3″ screen. Yes, the CAD Reader really is that big.
The Pocketbook CAD Reader is the second device to launch with a 13.3″ E-ink screen. Along with the Sony DPT -S1, the CAD Reader is one of the 2 largest consumer devices to use an E-ink screen (though there is some signage that is larger).
The CAD Reader has a 13.3? screen with a resolution of 1600 x 1200, but rather than use the flexible Mobius E-ink screen (found in the Sony DPT-1) the CAD Reader instead uses the new Fina E-ink screen. This screen tech replaces the plastic backplane with a glass backplane similar to the one used in 6? E-ink screens. According to the launch press release, the PocketBook CAD Reader is going to be running Android 4.0 Jelly Bean on a dual-core 1 GHz CPU with 2 GB RAM, 16 GB Flash storage, and an 8Ah battery.
It's expected to launch first in Russia, but based on the English language promo video I would say Pocketbook is eager to launch in the US and other markets. I have no specific details on the launch date, but if the software isn't done then it's clear that the launch won't be happening anytime soon.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 Chip Turns Your Pad of Paper Into An Extension of Your Touchscreen
Posted: 09 Jan 2014 08:07 AM PST
Hands off touch technology like the tech demoed earlier this year by Neonode is going to be a hot topic for 2014, and Qualcomm will be in the middle of it.
They were at CES this year to show off any number of tricks, and buried in the back of their booth was a demo which used the microphones on a Qualcomm tablet to listen for and track a special pen stylus. I got to watch as the stylus was used to write on paper (and see the scribbles show up on screen), and I also got to see the stylus manipulate another tablet without ever touching it.
This was one of the more exciting tech demos at CES this year, and it is a big improvement over the similar feature that E-Fun integrated into a tablet in 2011. This tablet maker used sensor tech from a sister company (Pegasus) to create a tablet/stylus combo which could track what you write/draw on the paper next to it. That platform was restricted to only working when the paper and stylus were in one specific location, but the Qualcomm tech won't have that limitation.
It could potentially affect everything from how we interact with mobile devices to sales of Wacom tablets (why spend hundreds on a special tablet when a smartphone can almost match the functions).
Due to the poor lighting conditions in the Qualcomm booth, I have to use this demo video rather than shooting my own. It's not a good video – the tech is at least twice as impressive in person:
And to make things even more interesting, picking up your pen on paper notes isn't all that this platform can accomplish. I also got to see the stylus be used to manipulate a tablet simply by pointing and clicking – no contact involved.
This could also have some rather interesting effects on presentations. If you used this stylus as a pointer, the presenter could control a wall sized display. Sure, there are already was to do this, but this would be better than (for example) motion tracking, voice control, even standard tv remotes because the presenter wouldn't have to put up with pranksters interfering with the show (unless the prankster also has one of these pens).

B&N Reports 2014 Holiday Sales Decline Not Quite as Bad as Last Year's Sales Decline
Posted: 09 Jan 2014 06:52 AM PST
Barnes & Noble put out a new press release today which touted their performance over the 2014 holiday season, and about the best you can say is that the decline in sales this year wasn't as large as the decline in sales last year.
The news still isn't good, though. Sales via B&N's stores dropped 6.6% from last year. In comparison, the 2013 holiday season showed a 10% drop from 2012. The Nook division took in $125 million in content and hardware sales, which is down from 311 million reported last holiday season.
Obviously B&N's plans of closing stores and cutting staff hours until they achieve profitability is also resulting in a drop in sales quarter after quarter, but it has yet to actually accomplish the goal of making B&N profitable.
It's also pretty obvious from the decline in digital content sales that the Nook platform is dead in the water. Whether this is going to inspire B&N to sell it or simply shut it down, I cannot say. But as anyone could have told you, B&N is going to have to do something with the Nook division this year. I don't think the current plan of ignoring it to death is terribly productive, do you?
The Press release:
P.S. On a related note, this press release has convinced me that Apple now has a larger share of the ebook market than B&N. Apple might possibly be doing $500 million to $1 billion a year in ebook sales, and we can clearly see B&N is selling less than that.

Hands on With Gajah's 3.5″ eBook Reader
Posted: 09 Jan 2014 04:51 AM PST
Remember yesterday when I described the Alcatel MagicFlip as the smallest ereader I had ever handled? I wish I had held that post, because about an hour later I found an even smaller device.
Gajah, a Singapore-based OEM that specializes in tablets, ereaders, and consumer electronics, their InkCase smartphone cases a step further. They did away with the case entirely, and came up with a smartphone accessory which adds a 3.5″ E-ink screen to any Bluetooth enabled Android smartphone.
Gajah's current InkCase models add an E-ink screen to either an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, or Samsung S4. As I am sure you know, this is a rather limited selection of supported models (there are hundreds of Android smartphones on the market) so rather than try support all Android smartphones with unique covers Gajah instead released one pocketable device which should work with all of them.
The ic3510 has a 3.5″ E-ink screen with a resolution of 360 x 600. This is the same screen as on Gajah's case for the iPhone 5, only the ic3510 has been stripped of the plastic needed to attach the screen to the iPhone. This resulted in a much smaller device that isn't much larger than a credit card.
I didn't think to compare the sizes when I had the ic3510 in my hand, but a standard credit card measures 4″ diagonally, so there's a chance that this really is smaller. And if nothing else, the ic3510 is much smaller than the Alcatel MagicFlip I saw yesterday.
I got to play with the ic3510 at CES 2014. The firmware was still under development so didn't do much and it wasn't stable, but it was still fun to hold it in my hands. Then again, Gajah's existing InkCase model's don't do much either; the cases were announced 6 months ago and there are still only a few apps which work with them.
The ic3510 is intended to pair with an Android smartphone over Bluetooth, and aside from the screen and BT the only other notable features are the 3 buttons on the front and the USB charging port. This is a very tiny and light ereader, almost dangerously so. Do you recall how one of the early Macbook Air review units got mixed in with a Sunday NYTimes and was accidentally thrown away? That could happen with the ic3510, only you wouldn't need nearly as much paper. This device could disappear into a single paper bill, and that could be a problem.
Then again, maybe not. This device is small enough that you can carry it around in your pocket and never notice the weight. So long as an owner habitually puts the ic3510 in their pocket it should have little risk of getting lost.
The ic3510 is scheduled to hit the market in the first half of this year. If we're lucky we'll get reports from users, explaining what they did to avoid discarding their new gadget.

Retail sales fell 2.2 pct in August
Greek retail sales by volume fell 2.2 percent in August compared to the same month a year earlier, led lower by vehicle fuels and food stores, statistics service ELSTAT said yesterday. Data on gross domestic product have shown resilience in Greek consumer spending, which rose 1.1 percent in the second quarter, helping the economy to expand by 0.9 percent. Sales volumes had risen for five months in a row through to October 2014 on a pickup in consumer spending, as the economy showed signs of improving after a protracted recession. But political uncertainty during acrimonious talks with the country's lenders toward the end of last year hit consumer sentiment. The capital controls and a three-week bank shutdown that the Greek government imposed in the summer to avert a mas-

une petite escapade...
we just booked it yesterday, and while we're only going for one night, i'm still ridiculously excited. we're renting a car (our first actual ROADTRIP!) and i'm pretty gung-ho about leaving between 4am-5am. i may be crazy, but it's about a 9hour drive and i don't to get there at dinnertime, go to bed, and then have to leave mid afternoon the next day.
unfortunately, the christmas stuff doesn't start until the first week of december. womp womp. maybe, just maybe, stores will have their lights up and on at night? that would be awesome. a little bit of snow on the ground would be even better. can you tell i'm just dying to be in a winter wonderland at some point, somewhere!?!
anyways, i have high hopes for old quebec. cobblestone streets, old buildings, and lots of french speakers. looks like i better brush up on my french (hahahha what a joke; we had to take it throughout some of grade school, and then high scool and i can say exactly 3 phrases). actually, that's what my bilingual boyfriend is for ;)
6 comments:
i've been to old quebec 2 times and it's just as amazing every time. make sure you're camera's charged and ready to go because you. won't. stop. taking. photos. it's absolutely gorgeous though and so much to do. all the little mum 'n pop shops are amazing and the restaurants are so good. don't worry too much about not knowing french because since it's such a tourist desti pretty much everyone's bilingual and if they give you a french menu just ask for an english one. haha i could go on and on about old quebec, love it so much.
one thing tho, the streets are narrow and steep as hell so make sure your shoes are comfy. OH and watch out for the drivers because they're not nice like here in ontario.. they will run you over if you jaywalk.

Until this morning, that is -- when I read this Washington Post article that in fact researchers have apparently proven that Non-African humans did in fact interbreed with Neanderthals, and that except for those of us with African ancestry, between 1 and 4% of our genes can be traced to the Neanderthals.
And -- at least one of those genes -- CADPS2 -- has been linked to autism. Here's what my less than exhaustive search turned up about CADPS2 (from this article):
CADPS2 (also called CAPS2) encodes a protein that regulates the trafficking and release, or exocytosis, of vesicles containing cargo such as neurotrophic factors, which influence brain cell maturation and survival. To determine whether the absence of CADPS2 influences autism development, the researchers generated mice carrying a disrupted version of CADPS2.
The mutant mice exhibited normal visual, auditory, olfactory and motor function, all of which are normal in autistic patients. [EDITOR'S NOTE: I am astonished to read this. In my experience, most autistic children are impaired in at least some of these functions. I don't see how this is consistent with the sensory processing component of autism. Surely most of us have experience these issues in our children?] However, like autistic humans, CADPS2-deficient mice engaged in fewer social interactions with other mice, displayed heightened anxiety and reduced exploration in unfamiliar environments, and were hyperactive even in familiar surroundings.
Absence of CADPS2 resulted in cellular defects mirroring those frequently observed in the brains of autistic patients, such as reduced development and impaired survival of certain varieties of brain cells including some GABAergic interneurons and cerebellar Purkinje cells. Provision of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein found in CADPS2-associated vesicles in normal mice, rectified these cellular abnormalities.
I don't know what that means, but I guess it's time for me to learn to be a little more open-minded.

'Rumbling' Fireball
Streaks Through
Atlantic Sky
(CP) -- Police and emergency lines throughout the Maritimes were flooded with calls late Wednesday after a large fireball streaked across the night sky.
There were reports of possible impacts in northern New Brunswick, near the Quebec border, and on Nova Scotia's eastern shore.
"We, at this point, believe it is some sort of celestial occurrence as opposed to anything man-made," said Lt.-Cmdr. Glenn Chamberlain of the Halifax search-and-rescue centre.
Chamberlain said a woman in Liverpool, N.S., called 911 at about 9:30 p.m. AT to report seeing a giant ball of smoke and fire.
A few minutes later, air traffic controllers in Moncton N.B., reported that two planes in the area saw "a fireball of some sort lasting about 12 seconds."
Emergency crews in St-Quentin, N.B., were believed to be on their way to a fire that may have been caused by an impact. Officials in the area couldn't be reached for comment.
Mike Brown of Elmsdale, N.S., said he was working on his computer in his basement when he felt a rumbling overhead.
"My girlfriend saw it and said it looked like a comet," he said.
Chamberlain said there were reports of an impact in Oyster Pond, N.S., northeast of Halifax.
An RCMP spokesperson in nearby Musquodoboit Harbour said something hit the water off the tiny coastal community.
Chamberlain said search-and-rescue satellites didn't detect a distress signal and there were no reports of missing aircraft.
Fireball Streaks Through Atlantic Sky 10-28-99
HALIFAX - A mysterious fireball streaked through the sky over eastern Canada and the eastern seaboard of the United States late Wednesday.
It apparently shook houses, caused bright flashes of light, and a loud boom.
Police and emergency lines throughout the Maritimes have been flooded with calls with reported sightings. Air traffic controllers in Moncton N.B., say that two pilots in the area saw "a fireball of some sort lasting about 12 seconds."
The fireball may have wreaked some havoc on the ground. There are reports of possible impacts in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec -- including at least one fire in New Brunswick.
Search and rescue centres say the fireball is likely a meteorite or satellite entering the atmosphere. A spokesman for the Canadian Navy says their information suggests this was not something man-made.

Atlantic salmon is one of the best sources of DHA and EPA Omega- 3 fatty acids with farmed salmon far exceeding the Omega-3 content of all others. It is also a good source of Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B6 and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Protein, Vitamin B12 and Selenium. It's also very low in saturated fat.
In scientific tests, Northern Harvest salmon actually provides even higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, providing more than 2,000 mg per serving.
Source: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
The breakdown:
One serving of salmon contains 5.5 g of total fat (0.9 g saturated fat, 1.5 g monounsaturated fat, 2.1 g polyunsaturated fat). In addition, salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, containing 1,804 mg per serving. Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain heart health and may lower the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. **
Salmon is a good source of a variety of B vitamins, which aid in energy metabolism. Each serving of salmon is very high in vitamin B12 (72 percent of daily value) and niacin (53 percent of daily value) in addition to containing moderate amounts of thiamine (16 percent of daily value), vitamin B6 (14 percent of daily value), pantothenic acid (11 percent of daily value) and a small amount of riboflavin (5 percent of daily value).
Full of minerals, salmon is high in selenium (101 percent of daily value) and phosphorus (37 percent of daily value) in addition to containing moderate amounts of potassium (15 percent of daily value) and magnesium (10 percent of daily value) and small amounts of iron (7 percent of daily value), zinc (6 percent of daily value) and copper (6 percent of daily value). Selenium aids enzyme function, phosphorus and zinc play roles in cell metabolism, iron and copper transport oxygen through the blood, potassium helps regulate fluid levels in the body and magnesium is used in various chemical reactions in the body.

Ce-am mai vazut
pai am vazut 2 filme:
Life of Brian, FOARTE tare (chiar si pt cineva ca mine, care gets easily offended de umor legat de religie)
si Chicken Little, noul desen Disney, pretty cheesy, dar cute.. na, I simply love desene animate, basically indiferent cat de lame they get :) si am mancat popcorn cu tonele, chiar daca m-am bagat la cura de slabire.. cica ;) (blushing)
apropos de Life of Brian, are un cantec de generic superfunny, si generally speaking, f misto facut inceputul. and it goes like this:
"Brian. The babe they called 'Brian',
He grew,... grew, grew, and grew--
Grew up to be-- grew up to be
A boy called 'Brian'--
A boy called 'Brian'.
He had arms... and legs... and hands... and feet,
This boy... whose name was 'Brian',
And he grew,... grew, grew, and grew--
Grew up to be--
Yes, he grew up to be
A teenager called 'Brian'--
A teenager called 'Brian',
And his face became spotty.
Yes, his face became spotty,
And his voice dropped down low
And things started to grow
On young Brian and show
He was certainly no--
No girl named 'Brian',
Not a girl named 'Brian'.
And he started to shave
And have one off the wrist
And want to see girls
And go out and get pissed,
A man called 'Brian'--
This man called 'Brian'--
The man they called 'Brian'--
This man called 'Brian'!"
... mda :))) cam asa e tot filmul :P

Cinco de Cutie
Happy Cutie de Mayo! I've always loved piñatas but have wee problem with them: When adorable, how do you smash the heck outa it? This little guy, even if filled with my favorite candies, would def cause a dilemma. With his sweet face and wonderful proportions, I think instead of hitting him I'd say "Hello There Cutie Burro!!!" xxxo

the very model of a modern network tv show
Tonight I watched the first and second episodes of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The former is available on NBC's website and the latter just aired in the show's regular timeslot, Monday 10p on NBC. Created by Aaron Sorkin (West Wing), Studio 60 chronicles the politics, pressure and romance behind the production of Studio 60, the NBS television network's live Friday night sketch comedy show. Like the best shows about television (It's Gary Shandling's Show, Sports Night), it's funny, edgy and captivating.
Studio 60 has great sets, sharp writing and a very deep cast. The stars are West Wing veteran Bradley Whitford as Danny Tripp, executive producer of Studio 60, and Friends' Matthew Perry as Matt Albie, head writer. Whitford is always entertaining, and Perry's great lines make him not annoying as I feared he would be.
Supporting them are the attractive Amanda Peet as the super smart, risk-averse President of NBS, Timothy Busfield (another West Wing alum) as the live show's director and Sarah Paulson and D.L. Hughley as cast members. Ed Asner, Judd Hirsh and Felicity Huffman (of Sports Night fame, among other shows) appear in the pilot and co-executive producer Thomas Schlamme directs the first two episodes. Schlamme was intimately involved with both West Wing and Sports Night.

You know those stretchy rubber bracelets that were so popular a year or so ago? I think it started with Lance Armstrong's yellow ones, then snowballed from there to the point that EVERYONE was wearing one (or more) bracelets for every cause, theme, event or slogan under the sun.
Well, they're not quite so popular any more, and hardly anyone is wearing them........but I still wear mine everyday. Its slogan? Preeclampsia Survivor, of course. It's pink and blue (swirled) and has those powerful words "carved" into it on one side, and Preeclampsia Awareness on the other side. Why do I still wear it and risk the wrath of the fashion trend police? I've been wondering that myself recently, and what I've come up with is that it helps me get through the days. It's been 2 1/2 years since my most recent bout of preeclampsia, and quite a lot has changed and evolved in my life since then. But, when things get stressful or worrisome, either at work or home, I sometimes catch myself looking at the bracelet, and reading it again as if for the first time. And regaining a feeling of strength from it, as well as a feeling of identity. Because, no matter what else happens in life or where I go from here, the fact is that I am a Preeclampsia Survivor (twice, actually). I now belong to a growing (sadly) community of women who've been impacted by this disease. And the fact that I'm still here on earth and able to get up each day and go to a stressful job, or deal with the busy holiday season and its worries, is truly a miracle for which I am forever grateful.
Plus, an added benefit of wearing the bracelet is that I sometimes do get to spread a bit of what the other side of the bracelet represents--Preeclampsia Awareness. Periodically, people ask me what the bracelet stands for, and if I say "the word" most of them look blankly at me until I explain. So there it is......increased awareness of what preeclampsia is and the terrible things it can and does to women and babies every day around the world.
I can honestly say that my preeclampsia experiences were some of the worst periods of time in my life to date. Don't ever want to go there again, either. But in truth, there's a strange bit of pride in wearing that bracelet, and proclaiming to the world (even when it's not fashionable) that I survived this disease and am doing all I can to make the best of the gift I've been given........my sons' lives and time to spend with them.

Indeed they were very popular, I sometimes see people with lots of them on, they are no longer for some people mean any cause, they just wear it for the fun and for the appearance, I have a green one by the way, for me it represents our earth and the care we need to provide to our mother earth.

Factors To Be Considered When Choosing Plumbing Services.
Plumbing services will be required by an individual at his home at some time. With the varieties of companies available, individuals will find it being hard in the selection of the best plumbing service company. Offering of the quality services is the wish of most individuals from the plumbing service company. Due to this, it is of need for an individual to put in mind some aspects that need to be considered when selecting the plumbing service.
Following of the tips will assist an individual in getting the best plumbing service that he requires at home. Experience is a key factor that an individual should check on when choosing a plumbing service company. An assurance of getting quality services will be there if an individual has selected a plumbing service company with experience. Experience matters when it came to hiring someone to come and do the task for you. Having experience will give an assurance that one has the knowledge to do the work.
An experienced plumber will know what exactly needs to be done and where a certain problem needs to be fixed. For a long time, the individual has been performing similar task and has been in a position of having the knowledge. It is a good idea if an individual, need to consult with friends and family members of the best plumbing service that they and recommend. It may happen that these individuals might have used the plumbing services. A company that can offer quality services will, therefore, be suggested by these individuals.
Individuals should ensure that he has taken various recommendations that are suggested by the friends and family members. Selection of the best plumbing service company will be made by an individual after making a comparison. The contacting of the company will result to an individual getting more information. Individual should always go for a plumbing service who has insurance coverage with him. It is good to note that one is guaranteed that no extra charges will be charged if at all he had hired a person who has an insurance cover.
The reason for considering an insurance cover is because an individual need to be aware when carrying out the plumbing activities, there is the use of some tools. Damages, as well as injuries to a plumber, may be caused if anything happens and an accidents occurs. If this happens and the plumbing services company has insurance, they will be responsible for all the cost that will be incurred.
A compensation will be offered to a homeowner if there are damages to his home. A plumbing service company hired should have an insurance cover. Hiring a plumbing service company that lacks insurance is risking as you are not aware of what might happen.

I'm looking for recommendations on books that teach stranger danger, that would be good for preschool age. I have an almost 4 year old and she's very friendly and strikes up conversations with anyone and everyone. I want to start teaching her, in a non-scarey way, about strangers, good touch/bad touch, etc.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any books they'd recommend on these topics.

UK Car sales plunged by 17.5 per cent in August compared with the same month last year.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers (SMMT) data showed that sales had dropped for a second consecutive month after a 13.2 per cent fall in July.
Howard Archer of Global Insight said: "In contrast, new car registrations had increased 19.9 per cent year-on-year in the first half of 2010, reflecting the fact that sales were still being lifted in the early months of the year by the car scrappage scheme that finished at the end of March.
"Some car sales in the second quarter reflected the lagged impact of the scrappage scheme."

How sweet of the Cullens to let their pet dog in the picture! HA HA WHOA there, just kidding Jake fans. Some of the fans who attended Comic Con were lucky enough to get this poster as a gift from Summit and some of them posted their pics online, but now we have the HD version for your viewing pleasure.
So what do you think about the new looks for all of the characters? Not too shabby...just wish that Summit would dip a little deeper into their pockets for these promos. They always seem so cheesy. Let me know your thoughts...comment below!

Sikseekers Charity Project For Yoo Ah In's Birthday: Come and Join Us!
Hi fellow Sikseekers! We're back with another project for our beloved actor Yoo Ah In 🙂
As we know, currently Yoo Ah In is taking a hiatus due to his health. And we have shown our support in any way we can, including sending supportive messages to his instagram posts everyday. Now, we decided to make another project again for his upcoming birthday, October 6th.
Because Yoo Ah In always tells his fans that he prefer us to donate for charity rather than send him the birthday presents, we come with the charity fundraising project. We're going to raise fund for the charity and send donation to a foundation in Korea as his surprise birthday present.
For this project, we will work together with Yoo Ah In's official fansclub in Korea "AINESE". Ainese will tell us the name of the Korean foundation/institution latter once they find the most suitable institution for this charity project, and we'll keep you updated. This donation will be given by the name of Ainese, but they will let Yoo Ah In and all Ainese membership know about Sikseekers as one of the donors.
If you love Yoo Ah In, please consider to participate and to support Ah In with fans from all over the world! 😀
Our goal: To raise fund for the charity/raise money for those in need as Yoo Ah In's surprise birthday present
Deadline for donation: September 15th, 2017
If you wish to participate with us, please contact the key person of your country/region below for more details.

@ Firstborn: thank you for your kind offer to find me some random guy to kiss. You wouldn't have kissed anybody I picked out for you when you were a teenager. What makes you think I would kiss anybody you picked out for me, now that I'm a middleager? Besides which, it's way more fun to find my own random guys to kiss, even if they are scarce as hen's teeth. As I have said more than once, at my age the odds aren't good, and the goods are definitely odd.
Trainman really likes his nickname. I told him that everybody gets a nickname, that the Near-Fiancé Experience was referred to as Brother Lucid until he demonstrated that he was better named the Brother Formerly Known as Lucid. I haven't told him about Brother Tightly Wound. BestFriend and a couple of my daughters know exactly who that is, and how well it describes him [Firsborn's current visiting teacher was once briefly, or maybe nearly, engaged to him].
When I merged onto the freeway from the station tonight, I wasn't able to get over into my usual lane. [But I was going in the right direction.] Which meant that I was more or less forced to exit at 8th Avenue, which not-coincidentally leads straight to the chapel, and I did have something to add to the visiting teaching report from last week.
I also learned, from a comment by one of the brethren who was trying to figure out what I had done to the computer at church to make it so mad that it wouldn't print my report, that the Silver Fox is 6'5". Which is way too tall. Not that I'm suggesting we do anything to shorten his legs, but no wonder I get nosebleeds when I speak to him. And here I thought it was just a case of the vapors...
Trainman has a date, weekend after next. I find that I am only the tiniest bit wistful at being his Sancha Panza, rather than his Dulcinea [besides which, I vaguely remember how Dulcinea earned her living, and I don't think that's a good career choice for a grandmother].
I finished turning both heels on the Mean Green Jellybeans while feeling the living room get cooler. [I am definitely under the influence of yarn fumes.] I figure that the fireplace will kick on, just as I go to bed. It's supposed to be 20°F overnight. And I am too frugal to kick the fireplace up a notch. The bed itself is toasty-warm, and I am heading there directly. But first I need to update my notes for the socks, before I arm-wrestle with the Sandman; otherwise I will look at those socks in the morning and wonder "How on earth did I manage that?"
[To be finished when I wake up.] Which I now am. Both awake, and up. Also clean and foofed and ready to head out the door.
As I was walking from the train to the bus yesterday morning, I overheard two women talking about "the second volume" and "the third volume", and as one split off to cross the street and the other headed to the bus with me, I asked,"Twilight?" She nodded and grinned.
You can have Edward. I'd like Edward's dad. He is an excellent example of how a righteous patriarch leads his family and his tribe.
I found that link through Laura Brotherson's column; I subscribe to her newsletter, because next time around, I want to get it right. I also printed that column off and gave it to Trainman, because if there is a next time around for him, I also want him to get it right.
Grabbing my knitting, my breakfast, and my remaining marbles; heading out the door.

7. A good clamp. Although there are
CPU fans with screw-down clamps which may fasten a heat sink to CPU socket
a little tighter--I've seen screw-down clamps, attached by zealots, break
the ears off CPU sockets more than once--the stainless steel spring clamp
on the SK-5026FD has unique design which works very well. Installation
is a little difficult to get used to at first because the spring clamp does
not move back and forth within the heat sink like most others (the heat sink
also does not slide around the top of the CPU once attached and does not
need to be adjusted either). The side opposite the latch has to be
hooked on the smaller CPU clip latch (ear) while holding the assembly at
a 45° angle to the socket as shown above. The assembly is then lowered
and clipped to the other ear. Because the spring latch does not move in the
heat sink, the left side (as shown above) will not spring loose from the
socket if it is struck or suffers high G forces. If the right side
is struck, it springs towards to the left and the joint (1) moves until it
touches the heat sink (the Vantec diagram, with a different heat sink, shows
it touching the CPU socket) and holds the latch firmly in place while absorbing
the energy of the blow (or G force). When the force is removed, the
latch springs back into place. One must firmly push the top of the
lever straight down and then inward to unhook the right side. I can
grab this heat sink and pick up the entire rear end of my desktop computer
without pulling/wiggling the heat sink loose (not recommended).
BOTTOM LINE. This cooler was tested on a 400
Mhz K6-2 CPU with good results. Vantec rates it for 500 Mhz K6-2's
and 3's. A two-ball bearing fan sounds better like so many other bigger
and better computer-related things now-a-days, but I am not willing to pay
the price for these expensive alternatives. What... you want your computer
(and CPU fan) to last for ever?
Note. The heat sink has a blue anodized finish. Any
student of thermodynamics knows that flat black bodies radiate heat better
than shiny blue ones. But, I guess, if it looks "cool," it
must be "bigger and better," and, therefore, using modern consumer
logic, it must be cool(er).

William K. Suter, Clerk
c/o Gail Johnson
Supreme Court of the United States of America
Washington, D.C. 20543-0001
Re: I am in receipt of your letter dated September 22, 2011[1]
Dear Mr. Suter,
I am in receipt of your letter as referenced above. I have now received the dispositive order for my current case (11-2425) in the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals dated yesterday October 04, 2011. Please file the enclosed Petition for a writ of certiorari.
Immunity from the rule of law is "opposed to all the principles upon which the rights of the citizen, when brought in collision with the acts of the government, must be determined. In such cases, there is no safety for the citizen… for rights which have been invaded by the officers of the government professing to act in its name. There remains to him but the alternative of resistance, which may amount to crime. The position assumed here is that however clear his rights, no remedy can be afforded to him when it is seen that his opponent is an officer of the United States claiming to act under its authority, for, as Chief Justice Marshall says, to examine whether this authority is rightfully assumed is the exercise of jurisdiction, and must lead to the decision of the merits of the question. The objection of the Defendants/Respondents in error necessarily forbids any inquiry into the truth of the assumption that the parties setting up such authority are lawfully possessed of it, for the argument is that the formal suggestion of the existence of such authority forbids any inquiry into the truth of the suggestion."[2] The Defendants/Respondents argument begs the question, e.g., we are right and you can not even question our rectitude. As Justice William O. Douglas put it sounds like the old UN-CONSTITUTIONAL adage "The King can do no wrong."[3]
As further reference I quote from the Federalist Papers #78, by Alexander Hamilton, "There is no position which depends on clearer principles, than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No... act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid."[4]
If there is anything further I can do for you in this regard, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED I am requesting the court to rule on two issues as regards the question:
Where does a person go for the protection of the law when the Executive's Justice Department (Local State and Federal) and the Court's Judiciary (Local, State, Federal and Supreme) have acted in an "unlawful Conspiracy"[2] to ministerially award themselves "Absolute Immunity"[3] "before out of Court"[4] to COVER-UP[5] "false and malicious Persecutions"[6] to wit the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America?[7]
[X] All parties appear in the caption of the case on the cover page.
Petitioner respectfully prays that a writ of certiorari issue to review the judgment below.
[X] For cases from federal courts:
The opinion of the United States court of appeals included with the petition and is [X] unpublished.

"Every person who, under color of any statute… subjects… any citizen of the United States… to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law…."
English common law per the Commentaries on the Laws of England, the 18th-century treatise on the common law of England by Sir William Blackstone and as quoted by John Marshal in 1803 with Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 163:
"It is a general and indisputable rule that where there is a legal right, there is also a legal remedy by suit or action at law whenever that right is invaded."[12] (Page 5 U. S. 163)
"The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim the protection of the laws whenever he receives an injury. One of the first duties of government is to afford that protection. In Great Britain, the King himself is sued in the respectful form of a petition, and he never fails to comply with the judgment of his court." (Page 5 U. S. 163)
The case in chief, In 2003 (03FC-010670) and 2004 (CR203-1336M) in the State Courts of Missouri I was charged and held on TWO infamous crimes while being denied my rights and the most basic elements of Due Process of Law.[13] The facts of the issues have never even been questioned; I thus see no need in presenting them AGAIN here. Since the origination of these two denials, unlawfully combined by the defendants into one issue,[14] I have been deprived of my LIBERTY, my Paternal Rights, and my Property rights.
I have since the origination of the denial of rights been seeking the protection of the law in the original courts,[15] the courts of appeals Missouri State Court of Appeals (SD26269 and ED84021), 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals (07-2614, 08-1823, 10-1947 and 11-2425 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals), U.S. Supreme Court (Petition for a Writ of Certiorari 07-11115) and with additional efforts in written correspondence to the President of the United States, the Governor of Missouri, Police enforcement (local, state and federal {FBI and USMS})and the Attorneys General (State and Federal).
When this started over 8 years ago my son was 9 years old, he will be 17 years old very shortly (12-22-2011).
I seek an EMERGENCY ORDER, damages and injunctive relief, as described in the most recent appeal 11-2425.
As a person, a 55 year old NATURAL born citizen of the United States of America all I can do is beg, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The protection of the law is the raisons d'etre for a constitution, courts, a government… for Civilization.[16] Without the protection of the law civilization breaks down and we are back at the entrance to the cave VIOLENTLY fighting for dominance to endure a trial by ordeal.
The petition should be granted to give creditability AGAIN to the RULE OF LAW.
Immunity by definition is DIAMETRICALLY opposed to the RULE OF LAW.
The petition for a writ of certiorari should be granted.

Completely Confident
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. --Philippians 1:6
Sometimes when I read this verse, my attention goes immediately to the aspect of completion. I begin thinking about all the reasons why things that I do should work out simply because I believe that God is backing me up on them. I fail to realize that completion does not come about by my own doing. The operative word in this verse is "he". He who began a good work will carry it to completion
I am humbled as I see that completion is not dependent on anything that I do or don't do. God will fulfill his purpose for my life, and that may or may not directly involve the actions I decide to undertake of my own volition. God has put me on earth for a specific purpose--his purpose. It is my responsibility to be obedient to him and to respond to his call, but it is not up to me to plot my course. God's work will be completed in me and it is he who oversees that work.
God has a way of bringing about the means as well as the ends of everything that happens. In thinking about that, I am also reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6 which says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. "
This doesn't mean, of course that, that we can just sit back and take a passive role as we wait for God's work to be done. The active role we undertake is anything that involves seeking out God's will. As we spend time with God, we need to carefully weigh out actions against God's will. We must learn to discern which of our pursuits and desires are worldly, and which are Christ-centered. When we find ourselves chasing after meaningless, mundane things, we are living outside of God's will. If we want God's best for our lives, we need to leave everything completely up to him.
God is in charge of all aspects of our walk with him, including all the things that need to happen in order to make sure we arrive at our final destination. Even when we make mistakes, his plan can be carried out. We can rest assured that God's plan for our lives will have some wonderful blessings, even if they are not immediately visible. When we leave everything up to him, we can be completely confident to know that he always bring things to completion at their proper times.

The modern politically correct movement began at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which is one of the most liberal colleges in the United States. Political correctness is a liberal degrading of the freedom of speech. George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four famously incorporated the notion of limiting thought through language (see Newspeak). Words or actions that violate political correctness are called politically incorrect.
At American universities, liberals began imposing political correctness to prevent recognition of differences among gender, religion, belief system, sexual orientation and nationality. In the 1960s, feminists began to demand that the neutral pronouns he, him and his be replaced with expressions like "he or she", "him or her", "them", etc, even though the last one is actually grammatically incorrect. They argued that no one would be able to understand that the masculine gender included the feminine gender in neutral contexts. But this was just part of their campaign to redefine the social roles traditionally associated with masculinity and femininity. In science, political correctness punishes anyone who criticizes the theory of evolution, the theory of relativity, or liberal dogma about global warming.
Political correctness or P.C. also means the alteration of one's choice of words in order to avoid either offending a group of people or reinforcing a stereotype considered to be disadvantageous to the group. More specifically, groups which (or whose putative leaders or other activists) claim some status as systemically oppressed or discriminated against will periodically attempt to change the terms by which they are referred to and demand that society as a whole change its usage of words as well.

Happy Father's Day on Sunday Dad!! I love you!! Sorry that I can't skype you like we do for Mother's Day...Sometimes it's rough being a dad..
So this week was good. Last week was rough because we were gone out of our area so much and so our numbers for the week turned out terrible and we felt real bad so we recommitted to doing better this week and it's been awesome. We are on a mission wide "go super hard" kind of week because it is President and Sister Morgan's last full week! So we want to send them out with miracles and welcome President and Sister Smith with miracles. Of course we should always work crazy hard, but even more so this week. It's awesome!
Okay last week pday was so much fun! So I went to the temple with the sisters that are serving in the ward I started in, Manhattan 1st. And that of course was wonderful. And then after the temple we went and got Belgium waffles from the waffle truck which was heaven of course. And I got to talk to them all about the people I love and miss.
Then I found out that Barbara is getting baptized on the 20th or maybe 27th so I get to skype into that and I am stoked!! And then after waffles we emailed and then I switched and hung out with sister Rasmussen(MTC comp) and her comp. which I love them both so so much! And we went to the roof of the building by the temple (the one with the cool view that I sent a pic of last week) and then we went to shake shack and had dinner. I felt so fat. But don't worry, It was my feast before I began 6 months to slim. So now I'm working out harddd. Anyway, so then after we unsplit and all that good stuff we got a text from our investigator Chelsea who has a bap date for June 28th said "I think I want to get baptized sooner :)" so she asked if she could get baptized. We SO excited for her. She is moving though so she will actually get baptized there since she isn't quite ready yet. Anyway, we ended up talking to some awesome people on the way home in the train and didn't get home until 9. It was a good day though!
We had a pretty good day. One thing that happened was when we were on our way home we had a few extra minutes so we decided to look up this potential from the elders named Carly. Well when we pulled up and parked by her house the elders pulled up right then as well. Since they were planning on looking her up at that exact time too, we all went up together.
We knocked and then we heard her say "the missionaries are here. I don't want them to be here! Make them leave!" So her boyfriend came out and told us all to leave haha it was awesome though because if we would have been 5 minutes earlier or later than the elders then we all would have been yelled at separately which would have made it worse. So luckily we all got there together and got yelled at together. It was much more okay. Haha
We had zone conference and it was AWESOME. It was president and sister Morgan's last zone conference and we were the last session(the city missionaries had it Tuesday, middle section of the mission had it Thursday, we had it Friday). Anyway, it made it that much better!
We had a few trainings and had some really good talks from the Morgan's and the APs. Sister Morgan introduced the smiths to us and showed us lots of pictures. They made me really excited to meet them. The smiths have an 11 year old boy, 13 year old girl and 15 year old girl. The 15 yr old is super cute already so within the next three years that will be trouble for those poor 18 yr old elders who haven't locked their hearts yet! Haha
At the end of the conference Sister Morgan had all the sisters write little notes for sister Smith (new mission presidents wife) so that she could get mail in the MTC. How cute is that?
As you probably have seen, we have been authorized to use Facebook again. I'm excited because we have SO many people that we can't see very often because they live so far away and aren't progressing enough for us to see them a lot or "stop by" but they use Facebook a ton so now we can contact them easily. At first I was kinda bummed to be getting it back because it adds so much more responsibility and it's so easy to waste time one it but then President told us that if we don't want to use Facebook then we don't want to follow the prophet and therefore don't want to follow God. So I really want to use Facebook now! Haha. We aren't allowed on newsfeed or anything and we have a set amount of time per day to use it so it's all good. Our mission has also been given the NYC subway ap and the MTA transit ap so those both are really handy and helpful!
So as you know, the mission motto was "loyal to the CORE" meaning courage, obedience, reverence, and effort. There were 4 zones at the conference so president had an elder and a sister talk about each one...well as luck would have it, I got called up to give a talk on obedience! Wow, embarrassing. I really didn't think I would get called, which is of course why I did get called, and didn't really prepare a great talk. I'll send you what I sort of threw together. It was..something. Hahaha oh well, it's done and over and there were some very interesting ones so it's alllll good.
Anyway, so president talked about recommitting to being a consecrated missionary and he gave us a few points---exact obedience, cast fear from your hearts, lock your heart, increase faith, give up pride, forsake negativism and sarcasm, and go the extra mile.
Then at the end of the conference he was speaking to us and he said "alright look me in the eyes and I'll look you each in the eyes. Pretend like we are having a one on one conversation. If we were, I'd tell you how much I love you and am proud of you and the work you have done.." And he just went on and on. He was crying, I was crying, everyone else was crying. Wow it was pretty bad! Haha it was so awesome though and the Spirit was SO strong. He really has been such a blessing for each of us and has impacted us missionaries so greatly.
Wow it was an awesome day.
We saw crystal and Patricia again! The ones that came to church. We set a date for Crystal to get baptized on July 5th so that's exciting for her! She is SO cute. She wants to get baptized so badly. The spirit was so strong as we read the Book of Mormon stories with her. She loves it so much.
Afterwards we went to Jaime and Max's house where we had an incredible lesson. They are such a golden family and they just need to get baptized. But they teach us patience because they want to take it sllloooowwww. Which is fine, but they are so awesome. So Max was busy at first but then he came and joined us for the lesson. So we showed him the earthly father Heavenly Father video since he wanted to know where a fathers video was when we showed a Mother's Day video on Mother's Day. He loved it so much and so did she but he was all in it and watched it twice even. Then we read from the Book of Mormon with her and she told us about how she has really felt a difference and seen a Change in her life since she has been meeting with Us. She said she feels more peace and gratitude and it's really helping her. How awesome is that!? we are giving them a children's Book of Mormon stories so that they can read with their kids every night and she is really excited about that because she wants them to know how to pray and know who God is. After the incredible lesson where the spirit was so strong, we played with the boys for like 12 ish minutes. They always beg us to play at the beginning so we tell them after the lesson we will. Jaime and max are so grateful that we do. They love seeing us play with them and it means a lot to them so we do it. We dropped off a doughnut and balloon for Jullian(the 7 yr only boy) for his birthday and they were so grateful for that as well so it was cool to see. Anyway, we have a good time with their perfect almost Mormon family.
At dinner we had a bbq outside and they had these vines. So sister Groberg was like "oh can I swing on it?" And they said yes they always do. She asked me to spot her as she did, just in case. So I did.....I'll send you the video of the rest... :)
***video next week***
We ended up home early because Sister Groberg wasn't feeling so great after that. Haha so sad!
We got to visit 3 less active families who all needed us SO badly. They broke down in tears while we were teaching them because they were so grateful we were there. It was really neat to see their love for the gospel and their desires to come back to church.
At church we talked about how we can make the sacrament more holy which was really interesting and good to think about.
So I went to the Chiropractor again! So he gave me my xrays! I'll send them to you. My neck is 75% off. Awk.. So it's like way more forward than it should be and when I look down the cervical vertebrae don't line up smoothly. Look at the X-ray picture and you'll understand. He had a program on his computer that showed two lines of where it should be and where it is but I didn't get those emailed to me so I tried to make them up from memory so that's what hose are. They aren't exact but they are just from me and what he showed. Anyway, they are still cool. So he just adjusted me again and I'll go back on Thursday (next week) since Wednesday is transfers so Monday will be a crazy day preparing for transfers as always.
At night we felt like we should look up this family so we did and we met Kayla. Kayla needed the Spirit right then and so us sharing a message with her helped to really uplift her. She hasn't been to church in years but seemed to really want to go back so hopefully she will come on Sunday. She loved the message and asked us to come back and show the rest of her family. She also asked us to pray with her and write down the scriptures we used so she could find them again. The lord definitely guided us there so that was incredible to see.
We had such an awesome day. We went to visit a less active and it went really well. They are actually headed to California today though so we had to keep the visit short so they could pack. So we had like 15 minutes after and decided to tract around that area. So we picked which houses to go to. We knocked on two doors and both opened and both were awesome. It was so cool to teach them and just have the Lord guide us to the two people on that street that needed us right then.
We had Cleaning inspections which was really good because this place needed a deep clean. I always love when it's really clean.
Anyway, the rest of the day was Awesome. We met so many Awesome and prepared people. We had some incredible lessons And met with a lot of our investigators. For dinner we are at a less actives and they made us this delicious healthier version of lasagna. It was SO good. Probably the best kind I've ever had. He's a chef so he made it, and we are going back in two weeks to have something different!
We met some really interesting and crazy people while Tracting after dinner as well, but also got another new investigator who is so ready to learn. Ya it was just a really good day. That didn't tell you much, but just know that I love being a missionary. It's the best.
Today for pday we are going Fishing and having a BBQ! I'm excited. We have had a lot of BBQs lately so i love that.
This week I studied family prayer a little bit! At church we talked about how we should pray for our crops and animals and daily work and I thought about how dad always asks us to pray for him. The teacher asked us how many of us pray for our family members to get more work or keep up with the work that they already have and not many people raised their hands. I just thought it was cool to know that dad has always taught us to pray for him and the work he has so that concept wasn't foreign for me. In the October 2014 General Conference talk "make the exercise of faith your first priority" It says "Family prayer should be a nonnegotiable priority in your daily life."
I am SO grateful that we had family scripture and prayer each night even if some nights we forgot. It really has made an impact on me. I'm sorry for the times where I grudgingly went downstairs for family prayer because of homework or something lame but I can assure you that I have changed! :) I absolutely love kneeling down with families after the lesson and praying with them and feeling the power that comes from it. Prayer is the best.
I love you all so much. Have a wonderful week! And Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there, but especially to mine! :)

REVIEW / For some, the past just won't go away
Breakable You
By Brian Morton
HARCOURT; 361 Pages; $25
Adam Weller is an aging novelist on the verge of obsolescence, who has left his wife, Eleanor, for a much younger woman. Eleanor is a psychotherapist who always wanted to be a writer, but put her creative dreams on hold to raise three children. Their 30-year-old daughter, Maud, is a graduate student in philosophy with a history of nervous breakdowns, questioning whether to have a child. Samir is a Palestinian man who lost his toddler to a rare blood disease, retreated from the world after her death and needs Maud to bring him back to life. All of these characters are starting over again, right when we meet them in Brian Morton's latest novel, "Breakable You."
"Breakable You" is about the ways that the past refuses to let go of us, even as we try to push into the future and reinvent ourselves. Growing up in Brooklyn, Adam had a friend named Izzie Cantor, who also became a writer. When Izzie was alive, his work was better read and more respected than Adam's. Now that Izzie is dead, Adam wants their competition (and the unflattering comparisons) to die as well. So he's irritated when Izzie's widow, Ruth, discovers the manuscript "So Late, So Early" among her husband's things and asks for Adam's help getting it published.
Ruth, a "professional widow," as Adam uncharitably puts it, misses her husband terribly. She believes this novel to be Izzie's finest and that it will revive public interest in his writing. After reading the book, Adam fears she may be right. He feels both admiration and "the despondency that can come over you when a friend succeeds." He also experiences a revelation: "the dead don't care." And he doesn't care much about the living. So he lies to Ruth, telling her that the book would undo Izzie's reputation rather than make it, and refuses to help.
"So Late, So Early" would have been a good title for Morton's novel (better than the saccharine "Breakable You"), but perhaps it sounded too much like the title of his earlier book, "Starting Out in the Evening." In fact, these two novels share remarkable similarities. Both are about people getting fresh chances late in life. In both books, a young woman takes an interest in an aging and unfashionable male writer, and, if not in his work, then in what he can do for hers. In both books, this aging male writer has a 30-year-old daughter struggling with whether to have a child. And both books (as well as his previous one, "A Window Across the River"), hinge on a moral struggle specific to those who write: whether to be ruthless on the page at the expense of human relationships if success depends upon it.
These similarities aside, "Breakable You" is darker and funnier than Morton's earlier books. Reading "So Late, So Early," Adam considers the difference between his dead friend's last book and his earlier novels. "He always took care of his characters too much. He never wanted to believe that any of them could be evil. So if one of his characters did something morally reprehensible, he would never just go with it; he would surround the action with context, explanation, extenuation. It was as if he couldn't decide whether he wanted to be a novelist or a social worker."
Morton could be his own harshest critic here, poking at the softness of his earlier novels. But not this one. He allows Adam to be ruthless in the quest for success, unapologetically evil and wonderfully droll. He is so interesting, both in his corruptness and his rationalizations, that the reader can't decide whether to root for or against him.
But this is an ensemble piece, not a one-man show. Much as Morton revisits themes and types, he also has his structure -- the close third person, moving from character to character in very short chapters -- and his setting: New York City. He is almost Woody Allen-like in his devotion to this place and to people who could live no place else. When you open a Brian Morton novel, you have a pretty good idea of what you're going to read about.
So why do I anticipate his books so eagerly and forcibly stop myself from reading them too quickly? Because Morton is the rare writer equally invested in people and ideas. Unlike Allen, he creates some of the most complex and real female characters of any writer I know. His women are varied in age and temperament, physically and mentally alive, and never feel like the projections of the male writers in his novels. And if Morton is old-fashioned in his devotion to character, he also thinks about character in the old-fashioned sense: as a kind of moral fiber uncoiling differently in each individual.
Toward the end of "Breakable You," when Adam is refusing to help his daughter, his ex-wife, Eleanor, says to him, "There are times in life when we either become better than we've ever been before, or worse than we've ever been before. When there's no third way." In "Breakable You," Morton unfurls a string of these moments when character is made, for better or worse. Because his people are so real, it's impossible to look away.

There's Still So Much to Learn and See
It's hard to overestimate how much you notice on every walk outside once you've gotten bitten by the gardening bug. Probably the thing I will miss most about my internship at Brooklyn Botanic is the opportunity to observe trees and herbaceous plants in all their stages while working or walking. On our last walk through the garden, I snapped a picture of this bud. It's something that I overlooked in all the winters of my life, until I took an interest in gardening. Then I couldn't believe how many details of my surroundings I'd walked or biked by without ever noticing or really looking at and appreciating.
