text: I'm in the process of comparing different camcorders and would like to know if anyone has experiences/thoughts to share about the Panasonic AG-DVC7. This is available for around $1000 (US). I've also considered the Panasonic GS400 (which is also in the same price range) - this is a high end consumer camcorder. I've had a look at the tech specs of both but I couldn't find many reviews of Panasonic AG-DVC7. I'd appreciate your comments/experiences - it would help me in deciding which one to buy (I'm also considering some Sony models, both prosumer and consumer levels, but that doesn't matter for this discussion).

Interesting threads in the waiting hive this past weekend. Here's a lighter post for those of us on here!!
Interesting threads in the waiting hive this past weekend. Here's a lighter post for those of us on here!!
@veryberry13: I'm on my second tonight and want to find out if it's Christmas Eve so I can buy presents for our mother's that would include the names of both of us and all 3 kids. Not doing it if we aren't engaged but I don't think he'd be amused by pinning him down to Christmas Eve so I guess I won't be buying cute little engraved Christmas ornaments until next year. The wine is helping.
@veryberry13: haha that's what I'm talking about! Although I'm too sick to indulge in wine right now! Ugh! Maybe next weekend….
@veryberry13: I can't be the only "waiting" bee who isn't really stressed about it, right? this should be a happy time in our lives.
@SomedaymrsWDS: Aww I think the ornaments are a cute idea, I've seen some cute DIY ornaments on pinterest! Maybe you and your kids can do something together anyway?
…and I'm drinking SANGRIA yummy!
@DrD711: Oh no! Feel better…and I'll drink one for you lol!
@mrspinesol: Nope, I'm not stressed either! But I feel like the posts this weekend haven't been very uplifting and thought it'd be fun to relax in the waiting hive with a different topic!
Have two for me!
Yay for wine!! That was me last night, but now there is nothing left
Uplifting is always good, thanks VeryBerry!
PS- Love the e-cards!
@Roses91: LOL well then it sounds like you had a wonderful Sat night!!
@mrspinesol: Not stressed at all! In fact, a little sappy over it. I had the realization last night that this would be our last NYE/holiday season as "only" boyfriend/girlfriend. How special!
@DrD711: Okay then, I think I just MIGHT HAVE TWO. SO is cooking tonight (or grilling) while I drink and do nothing anyway haha.
@busybee3791: Great to hear that you are not stressed out!! It really shouldn't be a stressful time!! And I feel that way too—The official 'proposal' hasn't arrived yet, however, in two years SO wants us to be married and try to for kids, so I'm trying to enjoy all the drinking and relaxing I can NOW lol!!!
*raises glass* and here's to the last holiday as boyfriend/girlfriend *drinks*
@veryberry13: You bet I did!
@busybee3791: aw, that's kind of cool! maybe I should go into the holiday season with that mentality (though my holiday season is pretty much almost over, haha)
@veryberry13: I wish you had posted this yesterday! Lol. Most of the liquor stores in Mississippi are closed on Sundays!
@mcarey2: I thought about it lol. I could honestly post this everyday lol!!
@veryberry13: Your posts always make me smile! This one x1000.
The topic 'A Way to Relax for the Waiting Bees!' is closed to new replies.

5 Best Android Launchers 2017 to Make Your Home Screen Look Better
Customization is one aspect that makes Android the best operating systems. One can easily install third-party applications and start tweaking their Android device to get the best out of it. You can spice up Android looks by installing android launchers, themes and custom icons from Google Play Store or any other third party website.
In this article, we are going to discuss the 5 Best Android Launchers of 2017 to make your Android Home Screen better than before.
Best Android Launcher Apps 2017
- Nova Launcher: Nova Launcher is one of the best Android launchers developed by Tesla Coil Software Company. It is a full-fledged android launcher, which helps to customize your Android Home Screen as much as you can.
Though the basic version of this android launcher lacks advanced customization options, it is sufficient for beginners. On the other hand, if you love high end customization then you must try Nova Launcher Prime APK. It looks minimalistic yet it has the best user interface.
If you are a tech geek who would like to test the upcoming features of Nova Launcher, then you must join the beta program of Nova Android Launcher. The best part of the paid version of this launcher is that you can use custom icons for the apps on your device.
- Apex Launcher: Apex Launcher is the next best opponent of Nova Launcher. This app is also available in two versions: Free and Paid. In the paid version of this app, you can customize the grid size, give transition effects, customize the icons and folders etc. The premium version of Apex Launcher has smooth home screen gestures and a sortable app drawer.
- Action Launcher: You can customize your android device as per your needs with Action Launcher. It has awesome features that make your home screen look prettier than before. The only downside of this application is that it requires an Android device with good ROM (high-end ROM) as it occupies more space on your device. It might also affect your battery performance.
- C Launcher: If you are looking for an android launcher with optimum looks and fabulous performance, then this would be the right pick for your smartphone. It can work smoothly even on a low end android device (low RAM). The main highlights of this android launcher are the glowing themes and HD wallpapers.
- Launcher 8: Do you love Windows phone, but can't afford one? Then this is definitely one of the best picks for Windows phone lovers. The home screen tiles resemble the Windows 8 look. You can also add few transition effects to the home screen to make it look more beautiful.
So, these are few of the top picks for the best Android Launcher. If you have any more options in your list, let us know in the comments section below.

This calculator can add to, or subtract from a date by either years, months, weeks, days, hours, or minutes.
Our apologies. Our releases have been falling behind in the upload queue. There has been a version 1.6 uploaded Nov 28 to fix a problem in the third screen. Unfortunately there is sometimes a delay of several days before it will appear in iTunes.
You can also set a default starting date. This will assist people with iPods and people who always need to do calculations from a particular date (like Jan 1, 2009).
Set the default date from the main screen. If you want to stop Date Calculator from always setting the current date, go into Settings (from your main iPod/iPhone screen) and scroll down to the applications section where you will see DateCalc. From within there you can turn this option on or off.

Majoring in Nutritional Sciences—Dietetics
Students in the Didactic Training Program in Dietetics track of the Nutritional Sciences (NS-D) major are educated in the experimental biology of metabolic regulation, the impact of genetics on use of dietary constituents, and the interaction among genetics, health/chronic disease and dietary chemicals. This program prepares students to perform research into the relationship between diet and vertebrate development and well-being mechanistically, and/or for health professional careers.
The Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology Department's Didactic Training Program in Dietetics (NS-D) combines a strong foundation in the biological and chemical sciences with specialized advance course work that focuses on nutrient/non-nutrient function and metabolism. The application of this field informs recommendations for dietary patterns to achieve optimum health and the treatment or prevention of disease conditions as well as food production and safety.
The Dietetics specialization prepares students for a career as a Registered Dietitian (RD). RDs translate the science of nutrition into practical applications for individuals and groups in clinical, food service, or community settings.
What will I study?
The curriculum for Dietetics provides an excellent foundation in the biological and chemical sciences. It also has a pre-professional focus emphasizing the application of nutrition through dietetic practice.
The mission of the Dietetics program is to prepare dietitians for positions of leadership in health care, education, industry, government, and community health, as well as in professional organizations. This didactic program fills a community need for highly trained nutrition professionals. At the same time it provides the academic background for graduate study in nutrition or related fields. The program is dedicated to excellence in intellectual development and research, to stimulation of an inquiring attitude, and to equality of opportunity.
Here are some of the projects students worked on for NST 166 - Nutrition in the Community!
How much coursework is required?
NS-D requires 54 lower division unit requirements and an additional 46 units of upper division coursework.
All courses must be taken for a letter grade with the exception of free electives or courses that are only offered on a pass/no pass basis. You must receive at least a C− in all courses required for the major.
Students eligible to apply for the dietetics specialization will have completed all lower division requirements, have earned no lower than a C- in any course. Current CNR students need a minimum 2.9 GPA to apply to Dietetics. Non-CNR students must have a 3.0 minimum GPA to apply. Due to these requirements, declaring the dietetics specialization usually occurs at the end of sophomore year or the beginning of junior year.
Graduates of this program must also complete a Dietetic Internship and pass a national examination in order to become a RD.
What can I do with this major?
Graduates of this program receive a pre-professional verification and are eligible to apply to supervised practice programs, in which students will receive practical training in varied aspects of dietetic practice. Such programs are generally nine to twelve months in length. The dietetic program director provides assistance in the application process for supervised practice programs.
Upon satisfactory completion of (1) the academic course work and (2) a post-Baccalaureate program of supervised practice, the student is eligible to take the nationally administered Registration Examination. Passage of this exam results in earning the credential as a RD.
Program Accreditation
The Didactic Program in Dietetics at UC Berkeley is currently granted accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606, (312) 899-0040 ext. 5400. This program meets the 2012 ACEND Accreditation Standards.
Additional program information can be found in the Dietetics Student handbook. Program outcome data are available upon request.

By Cheryl PellerinAmerican Forces Press Service
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel today announced that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl`s Afghan captors have released him to the U.S. military after taking him prisoner nearly five years ago while he was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
Bergdahl, at the time a private first class, went missing from his post in Afghanistan on June 30, 2009. He was the only U.S. service member known to be held captive there.
The now 28-year-old soldier was thought captured by the Haqqani network. He appeared in a proof-of-life video that surfaced last January and military officials said at the time they believed the video to be recently made.
A few hours ago, the family of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was informed by President [Barack] Obama that their long wait for his return will soon be over, " Hagel said in today`s statement.
We will give him all the support he needs to help him recover from this ordeal, " the secretary added, and we are grateful that he will soon be reunited with his family. "
Also today, Hagel said he informed Congress of the decision to transfer five detainees from Guantánamo Bay to Qatar.
The United States has coordinated closely with Qatar to ensure that security measures are in place and the national security of the United States will not be compromised, " Hagel said.
I appreciate the efforts of the Emir of Qatar to put these measures in place and I want to thank him for his instrumental role in facilitating the return of Sgt. Bergdahl, " the secretary acknowledged.
One of Hagel`s first acts upon taking office in February 2013 was to call the Bergdahl family about their son`s situation, Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said during a January press conference.
In June 2011 the Army announced that it had promoted Bergdahl to the rank of sergeant. Bergdahl, now 27, is assigned to the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division at Fort Richardson, now Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, in Alaska.
That was Bergdahl`s second promotion since he was listed as Missing-Captured on June 30, 2009. He was promoted to the rank of specialist in June 2010.
Sgt. Bergdahl`s return is a powerful reminder of the enduring, sacred commitment our nation makes to all those who serve in uniform, " Hagel said in his statement today.
The U.S. government never forgot Sgt. Bergdahl, he added, and the Defense Department and other federal agencies never stopped working to bring him back.
I am grateful to all the military and civilian professionals -Â from DOD and our interagency partners -Â who helped make this moment possible, and to all those Americans who stood vigil with the Bergdahl family, " the secretary said.
Hagel issued the announcement while on a 12-day international trip to countries in Asia and Europe.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey also commented on Bergdahl`s return today. The chairman said in a written statement, "It is our ethos that we never leave a fallen comrade. Today we have back in our ranks the only remaining captured soldier from our conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Welcome home, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl."

DETROIT -- The Twins optioned first baseman Chris Parmelee to Class AAA Rochester after Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Tigers and promoted Sam Deduno to make Saturday's start in Texas.
Deduno, 29, is a hard-throwing righthander from the Dominican Republic with a knee-buckling curve, but he's had trouble throwing strikes throughout his career. He went 1-2 with a 2.14 ERA in nine starts for Rochester, piling up 46 strikeouts and 22 walks in 42 innings.
Perkins unavailable
Manager Ron Gardenhire said the Twins didn't want to use Glen Perkins today. Perkins had pitched four consecutive days between Saturday and Tuesday. The Twins had Jared Burton ready for a ninth-inning save opportunity. Burton warmed up late in the game but didn't enter.
Gardenhire also noted that Alex Burnett had been on quite a roll. Indeed, Burnett had thrown 16 consecutive scoreless innings before getting charged with three earned runs today.
And, no doubt Perkins would have faced Prince Fielder in the eighth if he were available. Instead, Gardenhire brought in rookie Tyler Robertson, and Fielder drilled a three-run homer that gave Detroit a 6-3 lead.
Scott Diamond was pulled after throwing 91 pitches through seven innings. The lefthander had thrown eight innings in his previous two starts and said he was pretty gassed on a hot afternoon.

I'll try to make this short and concise.
This girl and I went to high school together. We had shared one class. We didn't have mutual friends so we never really talked or hung out after that.
She friend requested me and I accepted. I had remembered her and thought it was no big deal.
She started commenting on every status/picture, even 'liking' the same things I did. It was a little strange, but I thought maybe she was an active Facebook user.
I don't live in my hometown anymore. One time I was in town for a few days. I made an update saying if anyone wanted to get together while I was in town to give me a call, and I left my number. She called me, to my surprise, and wanted to go out for drinks that night. I didn't have plans, so I agreed.
While out, we talked and it seemed we had a lot in common. Even though I never saw her around, she insisted my friends growing up and her were very close.
I love a certain musician and she said he was her favorite, too. Later she asked if I would accompany her to a concert of that artist. Then later she confessed she had never really heard of him…
Once back in my city, she started calling me all of the time. Then she would leave these semi angry voicemails when I didn't return her calls or answer.
Then she started telling people I was her best friend…even though we have hung out a few times and didn't know each other well.
She even invited me to her brother's b-day vacation in Vegas, and said she'd pay for my whole trip. I declined.
When my fiance bought me a promise ring she made a snarky comment about it. Then right after she "announced" her boyfriend gave her a promise ring.
When I got engaged she'd message me repeatedly trying to find out the details of my wedding, and making comments that she presumed she was invited to the wedding…my intimate wedding of 10.
Just a week ago my fiance and I went to see Christmas lights. There's a neighborhood down the street that goes all out. It's not a very well known spot. I posted a picture of my fiance and I at it. This girl asked where it was (along with a few others asking this question). I said where it was, never thinking she would drive 2 hours out of her way.
What's even weirder. I have a picture of my fiance and I in front of this one tree and I made it my default. Well, she and her bf took a picture in front of the same tree and she made it her default picture.
I have so many other examples, but I'll leave it at that.
I can't help but feel a little creeped out and annoyed.
Do you think she's harmless, or do I need to 'unfriend' her?
Should I talk to her about how it makes me uncomfortable? I'm honestly a little afraid of how she'd handle that. If so, what do I say?

I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day! What a fun day to remind everyone you love, just how much you love and care for them! Parenthood has made me pretty sappy and I have had a few people around me go through some extremely tough situations lately, which have had a profound effect on my day to day thinking and actions. I have found myself stopping more often throughout the day to pray and appreciate my sweet family and think of how blessed and thankful I am for them.
Love is...
Looking in the rearview mirror, making eye contact with a sweet face in the back seat, and smiling at each other.
Love is...
Bowing our heads to pray in church and feeling my husband's hand reach out to hold mine.
Love is...
That first moment I see my babies in the morning and how all they want is a hug.
Love is...
How each of my kids fits perfectly under each arm.
Love is...
Sitting around the dinner table, listening to music, and talking about our day.
Love is...
Knowing that God is in control and guiding my family through each day.
Love is...
Having a Savior who thinks I am to die for!
I know you all have missed me. :) Here are some recipes we will be having for our dinners this week: Unstuffed Chicken breasts with ham, gruyere, and roasted broccoli, mu shu pork wraps, tuna melts, slow cooker chicken stroganoff
Unstuffed Chicken Breasts with Ham, Gruyere, and Roasted Broccoli adapted from America's Test Kitchen Quick Family Cookbook (a gift from my awesome aunt for Christmas)
*If you don't have gruyere, then Swiss cheese is a cheaper and just as good alternative
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds broccoli, crown cut into large wedges
1/2 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and pounded if necessary (I took 3 breasts, and halved them horizontally, to make 6 thin cutlets)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
4 ounces deli ham
4 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded (1 cup)
15 Ritz crackers, crushed
Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and heat to 475 degrees. Brush rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil.
Toss broccoli with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Arrange chicken breasts, side by side on one side of prepared baking sheet. Spread mustard over top of chicken, then top each breast with 1 slice ham and 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle cracker crumbs over cheese and press on to adhere.
Lay broccoli, cut side down, on opposite side of bakingsheet from chicken. Bake until chicken is cooked through and broccoli is well browned and tender, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfwa through baking. Serve. (A dish with everything cooked in the oven at the same time?! How awesome is that?)
***My sweet sunshine girl ate all of her chicken and only bites of her broccoli. My sweet little bear boy ate seconds of broccoli and only bites of chicken. Sigh. If you put the two together, then I guess you can say they liked it!
Mu Shu Pork Wraps Also adapted from the America's Test Kitchen Cookbook
We had a pork chop dish last week for dinner and I had bought a value pack of pork chops. I cooked up the chops I didn't use and will use the already cooked pork in this recipe.
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons soy sauce
1 pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced thin
6 scallions, white parts minced, green parts cut into 1 inch lengths
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 bag coleslaw mix
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced thin
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
Whisk 2 tablespoons oil, cornstarch, flour, and 2 teaspoons soy sauce together in medium bowl until smooth, then stir in pork. In separate bowl, combine scallion whites, ginger, and 1 teaspoon oil.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in 12 inch nonstick skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add half of pork, breaking up an clumps, anc ook, without stirring, for 1 minute. Stir pork and continue to cook until lightly browined, about 1 minute; transfer to clean bowl.. Repeat with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining pork; transfer to bowl.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to now empty skillet and return to high heat until just smoking. Add coleslaw mix and mushrooms and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
Clear center of skillet, add scallion mixture, and cook, mashing mixture into skillet, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir scallion mixture into vegetables.
Add cooked pork, with any accumulated juices, scallion greens, hoisin sauce, and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce to skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened, about 30 seconds.
Meanwhile, stack tortillas on plate, cover and microwave until soft and hot, about 2 minutes. Serve pork filling with warm tortillas and extra hoisin sauce.
Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff adapted from AllRecipes (awesome website and app) I wouldn't be able to plan meals each week without my slowcooker. I always have at least one meeting a week that goes to 5:30. This week is no exception-Parent/Teacher Conferences on Thursday until 6:30. Hello slow cooker meal!!!
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1/8 cup butter
1 package dry Italian dressing mix
1 package cream cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
(I know doesn't sound the healthiest, but come on, it's just one night! And you can always use less cream cheese and use a healthified cream of chicken soup)
Put chicken, butter, and dressing mix in slow cooker. Mix together and cook on low 5-6 hours.
Add cream cheese and soup, mix together and cook on high for another 1/2 hour or until heated through and warm.
Serve over egg noodles and with a side salad, and voila, you have a complete meal!
**If I don't use this recipe for conference night, my husband will just whip up a scrumptious breakfast for dinner meal.
Tuna Melts adapted from Martha Stewart Living, but it's Emeril Lagasse's recipe
Need a cheap dinner idea??? Here you go! I grabbed 4 cans of tuna last week, just in case we lost power with the snow last week. We didn't need to use them, but it sure helped me plan a meal for this week! My husband is not a fan of tuna, but when I made these he actually said they were really good! Yeah buddy!
4 cans tuna, drained
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
4 slices crusty bread
8 thin slices tomato (we do not use tomato)
4 slices provolone
Heat broiler with rack in highest position. In a medium bowl, combine tuna, mayo, onion, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano and stir until combined.
Arrange bread on a baking sheet and spread a little mayo on each slice. Divide tuna salad evenly among slices (I have found that this makes more than just 4), then top with 2 slices of tomato and one slice of cheese. Broil until cheese is golden brown and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes.
I would serve this with leftover salad from the night before and some chips.
Happy Eating!

After descending from Carrauntoohil, Ireland's highest mountain, we visited a farm that had been willed to one of my companions. As we approached the gate, a grey heron took to wing from a pond not twenty yards away -- neck crooked, head feathers flying like pennants, toes trailing in the still, black water of the pond.
If I have a totemic animal , this is it (as readers of my books will know). The heave of wings! The blazing eye! The pterodactylian beak! The effect was positively prehistoric -- one might as well have been standing in Jurassic Park. As the great balsa-light bird lifted into the air its six-foot wings spanned continents, their ponderous beats marked eons of geologic time.

What do you do when your life is completely turned upside down, thrown you a curveball and just plain scared you? How do you cope when you can't see the end? Ambiguity sucks! Uncertainty Sucks! And yet, we can't escape either one…I know I can't! So what do you do?
About 6 months ago, I learned that I was going to be laid off at the end of 2014 due to budget cuts and restructuring…blah…blah…blah! I was losing my job! Fast forward to 12-3-14, my beautiful daughter was born after a crazy and emotional few days in the hospital. (that's a whole other blog entry) Oh, by the way, she wasn't due until the end of the month! Uncertainty, ambiguity and surprises!!!
I've been waiting to write this post because frankly, I wasn't ready. I'm still not sure if I'm ready! The emotional roller coaster of the last 6 months have ranged from total BLISS and JOY while holding my little angel, Isabelle Noel to outright CONFUSION, FEAR, ANGER and SADNESS! I've covered the emotional gamut…and that brings me to the present. What do I do, How do I pick up the pieces???
How am I doing? Probably as good as you can expect…maybe, just maybe, a little better than just okay! When this whole thing started, I saw myself staring down this tunnel knowing that at the end of the tunnel…there would be a light. I knew it, I just couldn't see it! Now, I'm not the type of person that thrives in uncertainty. At least, I don't think I am. I'm the type of person that likes to put the pieces of his life into neat little boxes. I have a calendar that is neatly organized and I create to-do lists and I check things off that list. That makes me feel good. AMBIGUITY AND UNCERTAINTY on a scale this large…doesn't make me feel good! I can't remember the last time I didn't have a job and with a baby on the way my wife and I were pretty worried…we still are a little. But you know what…I'm okay. We're okay. Really and truly…I'm okay! Even though all the pieces haven't fallen back into place yet, I know that they will. Even though I don't have all the answers yet, I know the path will become clearer as I march onward! I'm in a good place. My connection to my higher self and to my light and my own inner power have truly been my guide through this process. My meditations and time spent quietly in the recesses of my heart have taught me that sometimes life throws you a curveball to help test your resolve, to test how strongly you believe in yourself. I'm taking a chance, gambling on the first stages of a dream and it feels really AWESOME and really SCARY! Do I believe in myself? Yes, well kind of…it's hard to really believe…but I do. I don't know how this is going to work, I don't know how it's going to affect my family. Here's what I know, my old job forced me to become someone and something I didn't like. It changed me! I lost contact with the things that mattered to me in my professional world and I knew I was slipping and it was affecting my home life. Thankfully my trust and faith that I always end up where I'm supposed to be is helping me through this time. I'm slowly clawing my way back to the things that matter to me professionally. I'm finding ways to reconnect with my passions and ultimately be a better person. It's AWESOME and SCARY! Will it work? I hope so but I DON'T HAVE CERTAINTY, I ONLY HAVE AMBIGUITY! And…and pay attention, this is important. I have complete and total faith that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be right now, right here. I'm not delusional…I'm connected. We all are, we just have to listen. I know and trust that things always work out for me and that faith helps keep me focused, positive and engaged in this process. Maybe, just maybe I can learn to embrace AMBIGUITY AND UNCERTAINTY.
It's not easy to take a chance and gamble on yourself! I don't think it's going to be simple and I don't know if I would have had the courage to do this if life hadn't forced me into it! But I'm here and I'm going to stay connected to my light, let that guide me and I know everything will work out!

I had high hopes for the Sand Creek half marathon when I signed up for it. I'm not sure why, at that time it was starting at 8:30am in July – that is a recipe for heat stroke. They got smart and moved the race time for a 7am start…much better but still freaking hot since it has been hitting high 80's by 9am. All my hope went out the window when my back decided to rebel against my home office set up. After two days of diligently working at my desk I woke up to an aching back. No stabbing, no throbbing, no severe pain but no break from the ache either. It didn't matter if I walked, sat, stood or laid on the ground – the pain was relentless. There would be no half marathon. Maybe I'd run … [Click Here For the Full Story]

Tuesday's Workout Wanda: A 100% rest day! Much needed!Wednesday's Workout Wanda: All of 1.4 miles, in "hurricane force winds" – never again! Short Recap On Saturday morning I ran the Snowman Stampede 5 Mile AND 10 Mile race. I took the 5 miler super slow and ran the 10 miler at a "comfortable level of discomfort". I felt great for both races and actually PR'ed the 10 mile race…2:08 faster than last month! Long Recap This past week my long run called for 12 miles. I had the Snowman Stampede 10 Mile race penciled in with plans to fin in a 2 mile warm up. On Thursday I came up with the brilliant idea to run both the 5 and 10 mile races – for a grand total of 15 miles. Sure, I'd be 3 miles over my required distance … [Click Here For the Full Story]
Workout Wanda: A 10 mile "training" run, finished in 1:40:01, pace of 10:00. Warning: The entirety of this post is probably going to consist of shameless ego stroking and narcissism. If you really aren't feeling up to that kind of reading feel free to scroll down to check out my neon rainbow inspired get up and move on to better readings. Don't worry, I get it…besides, there are a ton of words and not so many photos! If you are my mother or The Husband {hi mom & Chris} you have heard all of the following approximately six times today. Thanks for listening…and now for reading! Today I ran a 10 mile race. A race I was not trained up for but was running as my 8 mile training run that was on the schedule. I didn't even sign up … [Click Here For the Full Story]

March 21, 2015Hey guys, I haven`t posted in a while but I read quite a bit. I still have my 01 Job 1 Sport Trac with the 4.0 V6 with 135,000 miles.
It is not my daily driver so it sits a bit at a time. Recently it sat long enough to kill the battery, so we pulled it out to charge it up. After putting it back in, the ST wouldn`t start.
It will start if I spray starter fluid in the intake, but dies immediately. I have a bit of a hearing problem, but my husband says that he cannot hear the fuel pump when I move the key to ON.
What we have done so far i this.
> Cleaned out the airbox (found a nest of something living there)
> Checked all the fuses and relays in the Power Distro box under the hood. all are good.
> Checked the intertia switch, it all seems good.
Some of my readings says it might be the FPDM. But the article I read was about an F150, so I have to confirm that. where is this item in the ST? It could also be the fuel pump died.
With all that said I have 3 questions.
1. Is there anything else i should check before having to drop the tank to replace the fuel pump?
2. If I have to replace the fuel pump, does it make it any easier to remove the bed of the truck first?
3. Have you guys found that the newer gas with the ethanol is eating the fuel components of these trucks?
Any help is appreciated.

Decked out in a flashing Vivid Climb vest, you'll climb the Bridge above the spectacular lights below before dancing under the stars.

Name: Great Basin Brewing Ichthyosaur "Icky" IPA
Date: 6-24-12
Location: Reno, Nevada
Availability: Year-round
Price: Uknown — gift from a friend
Alcohol: 6.4%
IBU's: Unavailable
Aroma: Light smell of yeast, with mild hops.
Appearance: Gold, but kind of orange, too. Lots of small bubbles rising to the head, great lacing.
Body & Texture: Well carbonated, very light.
Aftertaste: Very little after taste. A small amount of bitterness, but fades quickly.
Overall Impression:
Very easy to drink beer. Tasted more like a pale ale to me, so if you're not really into IPA's this might be an IPA you could drink. It was a great summer beer since the abv isn't too high. It was really light in my mouth. I wish it would have had more of a distinct aroma. Nothing really stood out to me with this one, not even the hops, which is unusual for an IPA. It didn't really leave a lasting impression, but if I'm in Reno, and I visit the brewery, then I'd try it again. Maybe it'd be better on tap. I liked the label, and think it's cool it's named after Nevada's state fossil.

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is your faithfulness.Lamentations 3: 22-23
Scripture and a Snapshot
My sister is in the hospital. As I sat by her side I watched the numbers on the machine connected through so many wires to her body. She slept and started to heal. My kids texted me that three of the eggs they've been watching so closely in the incubator have tiny cracks and then they started to hear tiny chirps. New life emmerging! Friends have shared online about watching the birth of a baby giraffe. More new life. Winter here was so mild, bushes are blooming all around. As I drove to the hospital in Baton Rouge I passed beautiful azalea bushes filled with purple blooms then piles of Sheetrock and insulation still being torn out of buildings that were flooded. New beside old. I'm thankful for new mercies every morning. Great is his faithfulness!

Lafayette County Health Department, Lexington, Missouri
This rural county east of Kansas City has begun an initiative to support kids and families in making healthy eating and physical activity a habit. The county has formed partnership with HKC to present annual school workshops. These highly interactive and motivational workshops reach teachers, nurses, administrators, and others.

Through modeling of healthy behaviors; environmental, policy and practices changes, A.I.M. is helping to make strides for healthy kids.
Platte County Health Department, Platte, Missouri
In 2001, the Platte County Health Department took the Challenge by calling HKC, the nation's leading school-based health initiative, to encourage children and families make healthy eating and physical activity a lifetime habit. Since that day, a partnership was formed that has grown in size and scope with helping schools and kids.

From innovative programming to the creation of a teen board to help guide the work with youth, read more about the Oliver Foundation efforts in the best practices section.

Yes, I agree with all these things. The one that would most concern me is slightly different. What if you've been paying the premium for X years, but then something bad happens--like you lose your job--and you can't afford to pay the premium for a couple of years.Do you lose your policy? Do they let you make it up? I don't know. What happens if you lose your job and you cannot pay your house insurance or your car insurance? I think you have to get a new policy, and I'd expect to have to do the same with LTC. I don't understand the insistence that the LTC insurance should operate under different rules than any other type of insurance.Now, in my case, I just went back to work after being out of work for 51 weeks. This is the 3rd time in the past 12 years that I have been unemployed, and was also the longest. During that time, DH also had rotator cuff surgery and was not bringing in any money for about 4 months as he is self-employed. I also have twins in college who get virtually no financial aid [DS gets a very small merit scholarship], but since we moved their college money to cash when they were in high school, we continued to use that to pay their college expenses.During that time, we didn't miss a beat, although I do admit to borrowing $5k from their (overfunded) college account to pay expenses during that time, but that's because that's where the cash was, and I didn't want to sell stock if I didn't have to.I am not concerned that I will not be able to pay the premium in case of job loss, and that's because we've been saving forever for our retirement which we expect to completely self-fund, although some social security would be nice. So I do have this nice, big pot of money that I can tap for things like paying the mortgage, the house taxes, and even the LTC premiums in case of unemployment. We also expect to retire in a maximum of 5 years, so we're pretty close to having to tap our nest egg.I also have the LTC premiums included in my written retirement budget that tracks our expected expenses and how much we need to have set aside to generate our required annual 'income' at a 4% withdrawal rate, so I'm not worried about not being able to afford the premiums. There are plenty of discretionary expenses in that budget that can be cut to pay for essentials if needed, and I do consider this an essential for us.As I said before, everyone's situation is different, and yes, you need to plan for all of these things. I think I have done that, and will stay the course. I also realize that the things I consider retirement essentials (golf, dining out, LTC premiums, travel to see the kids) may not be the same things that other folks consider essentials.Once again, YMMV.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is a process in which humans explore issues in collaboration with horses. The introductory four-hour equine therapy workshop at Bella Monte offers our clients an opportunity to learn why horses are valuable as healers, how to be safe around horses, how to define their own therapeutic goals, and to actually have a healing experience with a horse of their choosing. No equine experience is required. Those with extensive equine experience will also benefit. There is no mounted work in this workshop. Current research points to the general health and psychological benefits of connection with animals. Studies show that simple contact with an animal can lower blood pressure and respiration rates and provide a sense of wellbeing. We have learned that the benefits of collaborating with animals goes far beyond those simple but powerful benefits.
Bella Monte works with EAGALA certified equine therapist Gail Hromadko. Gail Hromadko, M.A., M.F.T. (MFT 31927) is a Marriage & Family Therapist licensed for over 20 years. She is an EAGALA Level II certified equine therapist and a Certified Equine Interaction Professional – Mental Health (CEIP-MH). Her specializations include over 30 years working with chemical/codependency and other addictive syndromes, trauma including PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, GLBT issues, and couples therapy. She has been exploring the nature of healing in connection with horses for 8 years.
