The actors were spotted sharing breakfast and, later, grabbing coffee together
It's holiday time in the city, and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are making the most of it – criss-crossing Manhattan on Saturday for a double-date breakfast on the Lower East Side and coffee in the West Village.
The couple, who've been heating up as the temperatures drop, joined Lively's sister Robin and her husband for breakfast at one of Blake's favorite restaurants in the city, the Stanton Social.
The couple shared a breakfast of doughnuts, tacos de huevos, bacon-egg-and-cheese biscuits, pierogies and muffins. They were very cuddly, giggling and leaning on each other in the booth.
In addition, the new couple hit up coffee shop Mojo on Charles Street in the West Village. They were touchy-feely, with Reynolds, 35, dressed in checked slacks, Chucks and a henley layered under a sweater, and Lively, 24, wearing a curve-hugging charcoal shift, netted tights and boots. Lively chatted with patrons as she waited for her coffee, even introducing herself to one. The Gossip Girl star also seemed taken with a piece of art that looked like a collage of gumballs, snapping a pic on her iPhone.

12 Days of Christmas
You might or might not have heard this version of the 12 Days of Christmas. It isn't a song. It's a story. A true story. For me, it's THE REASON I celebrate Christmas. I believe every word to be true. It's contents are pulled from my "guide for life" The Bible. I encourage you to take a minute to read this...even if you have read it before. It's a GREAT reminder of what Christmas is all about: not gifts, not money, not decorations, but it's about our precious, gracious Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST and everything He has done for us! I serve one amazing God who sent his ONLY son (imagine...having a child only to KNOW He will die one day) to die for my sins! And this Christmas... I plan to give Him great thanks and worship Him like never before.
On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
A Partridge in a Pear Tree.
The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, whose birthday we celebrate on December 25, the first day of Christmas. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge that feigns injury to decoy predators from her helpless nestlings, recalling the expression of Christ's sadness over the fate of Jerusalem: "Jerusalem! Jerusalem! How often would I have sheltered you under my wings, as a hen does her chicks, but you would not have it so . . . ." (Luke 13:34)
On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Two Turtle Doves
The Old and New Testaments, which together bear witness to God's self-revelation in history and the creation of a people to tell the Story of God to the world.
On the 3rd day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Three French Hens
The Three Theological Virtues: 1) Faith, 2) Hope, and 3) Love (1 Corinthians 13:13)
On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Four Calling Birds
The Four Gospels: 1) Matthew, 2) Mark, 3) Luke, and 4) John, which proclaim the Good News of God's reconciliation of the world to Himself in Jesus Christ.
On the 5th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Five Gold Rings
The first Five Books of the Old Testament, known as the Torah or the Pentateuch: 1) Genesis, 2) Exodus, 3) Leviticus, 4) Numbers, and 5) Deuteronomy, which gives the history of humanity's sinful failure and God's response of grace in the creation of a people to be a light to the world.
On the 6th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Six Geese A-laying
The six days of creation that confesses God as Creator and Sustainer of the world (Genesis 1).
On the 7th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Seven Swans A-swimming
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: 1) prophecy, 2) ministry, 3) teaching, 4) exhortation, 5) giving, 6) leading, and 7) compassion (Romans 12:6-8; cf. 1 Corinthians 12:8-11)
On the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Eight Maids A-milking
The eight Beatitudes: 1) Blessed are the poor in spirit, 2) those who mourn, 3) the meek, 4) those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, 5) the merciful, 6) the pure in heart, 7) the peacemakers, 8) those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake. (Matthew 5:3-10)
On the 9th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Nine Ladies Dancing
The nine Fruit of the Holy Spirit: 1) love, 2) joy, 3) peace, 4) patience, 5) kindness,6) generosity, 7) faithfulness, 8) gentleness, and 9) self-control. (Galatians 5:22)
On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Ten Lords A-leaping
The ten commandments: 1) You shall have no other gods before me; 2) Do not make an idol; 3) Do not take God's name in vain; 4) Remember the Sabbath Day; 5) Honor your father and mother; 6) Do not murder; 7) Do not commit adultery; 8) Do not steal; 9) Do not bear false witness; 10) Do not covet. (Exodus 20:1-17)
On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Eleven Pipers Piping
The eleven Faithful Apostles: 1) Simon Peter, 2) Andrew, 3) James, 4) John, 5) Philip, 6) Bartholomew, 7) Matthew, 8) Thomas, 9) James bar Alphaeus, 10) Simon the Zealot, 11) Judas bar James. (Luke 6:14-16). The list does not include the twelfth disciple, Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus to the religious leaders and the Romans.
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Twelve Drummers Drumming
The twelve points of doctrine in the Apostles' Creed: 1) I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. 2) I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. 3) He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. 4) He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell [the grave]. 5) On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. 6) He will come again to judge the living and the dead. 7) I believe in the Holy Spirit, 8) the holy catholic Church, 9) the communion of saints, 10) the forgiveness of sins, 11) the resurrection of the body, 12) and life everlasting.

O Christmas Tree
So we had to "trim down" our decorations for this year...oh who are we kidding...we will have to "trim down" for the next 10 years probably until all of our kids (present and future) are old enough to know what NOT to play with and touch! :)
I call my tree "Whimsy." I like bright greens, red, silver and gold. I have a hodge podge of ornaments. I don't really have a "theme" I like it that way. I buy random ornaments all the time but most always they fit in the "whimsy" family. If I had to choose a decor that's my fave... I would pick "The 12 Days of Christmas." I love it. I have several books, other decor and ornaments. I do have one set of ornaments that isn't whimsy. I got them in 2006. They are from House of Hatten designed by Denise Calla and made in the 80's. They are definitely a vintage item that I will cherish forever and pass down to my children. The no longer make them and you can only find them on Ebay and other auction sites.
I have my Waterford 12 Days of Christmas crystal champagne glasses out as decor (brave I know). I also have some 12 Days glasses, plates, mugs, napkins and table runner. So yeah, I guess that's my thing :)
My mantle. I do a little something different every year!
Living room pillows.
Pillows in the sitting room.
Some of my favorite ornaments!!! We have one from our honeymoon to St. Lucia. The one with a picture from our wedding. I love sock monkeys. Noah's ark. Two owls. Family snowmen. NOEL. One of my Hallmark snowmen. House of Hatten 12 Days "7 swans a swimmin'".
Our dining room display! My 12 days glasses. The nativity is the same one from my childhood. I loved it so my mom gave it to me this year. It is as old as me (28)!
My Waterford 12 Days of Christmas crystal champagne glasses. (Yeah I am still missing 2. They came out this year-hopefully a present in my future).
Front door: the wreath I made for mine and Adam's 1st Christmas as husband and wife!

Trans Siberian Orchestra
A Christmas tradition my mom and I started four years ago after I stumbled upon an amazing orchestra... continued this year!
This past Saturday my mom and I went to Birmingham to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. If you haven't heard their music... RUN (do not walk) and download some of their music NOW! And next year... GO to a concert if they come near you. I am telling you, it's the best show I've ever seen. I mean best concert, play, musical... it beats them all. It's crazy good.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra is a rock opera. I am telling you... your husband, your kids, your parents, your friends, anyone... would love it! These are the most talented artists I have ever seen in person. The whole show is breathtaking and SURE to get you in the Christmas spirit. I'm actually jamming to it as I write this post.
It's a new way to enjoy Christmas music. I start playing their music in my car December 1 and don't stop until Christmas is over. It's so unique and different from any other Christmas music you have heard. I guarantee you that. You can get a little sample of their music and the show here. I HIGHLY recommend you go check them out.
You can download their music on iTunes. Some of my favorites are: Faith Noel, Queen of the Winter Night, O Come All Ye Faithful, A Mad Russian's Christmas, Good King Joy, Christmas/Sarajevo 12/24, Boughs of Holly.
Here is a YouTube video of a TSO song that someone synchronized with their Christmas lights on their house. ENJOY!

Budget Talk
In February 2009, we kind of revamped our budget because we found out we were pregnant!
In March 2010, we totally revamped our budget due to some financial "surprises."
In August 2010, we fully committed to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.
So I think the questions most of you had in this post was just general info about our budget. any tips I have, grocery shopping, etc.
I am going to attempt to be as open as I can about our budget without sharing too much about my hubs salary.
The first thing I need to say is, we have no car payments. Why and how?? Well, when I started dating Adam (summer 2006) I was driving a 2004 Toyota 4-Runner. It only had like 15,000 miles on it. That fall, I traded it in on a 2005 used Nissan Altima with 55,000 miles on it. I actually got the car out right and made money back on it and used that money to pay off a credit card I had run up. Before we got married, Adam traded his car in on a truck. Looking back even he admits that was a bad decision. Well, he drove that truck and made about a $350 car payment for almost 2 years and then he got a job where they give you a company car. We kept the truck for almost a year after he got the job. It sat in our garage and was hardly EVER driven. So in March of this year, we sold it! God blessed us SO in that area. We sold it ourselves and got what we asked for it. So that is the story of how we have no car payment.
The next thing I need to share is, we SACRIFICED! My precious husband had a PAID FOR ski boat. He loved that boat (and so did I). But with a new baby (and hopefully 2 more in the future) we knew we wouldn't be on a ski boat for a while. And without me even asking or pushing, he suggested we sell it. And again, God opened up a door and we got what we asked for it. HE is so good. We used that money to pay off credit cards.
Last summer was the first summer that I can remember EVER that I didn't get to visit the beach. But that was just one more sacrifice that we were willing to make to get out of debt.
My hobby is shopping. It brings me great joy (sad I know). It came to a screeching halt. I learned to get my "fix" from grocery shopping. I am sure people think I am nuts when I say I am excited about going grocery shopping, but it's like a drug addict getting a high... shopping is my high :)
We used to eat out 3 or 4 times a weekend and after adding it up... we were spending $200 + a month eating out... that had to stop. So we went to eating out once a weekend. That is our "treat."
I had felt convicted for a long time about not tithing. And apparently so had Adam even though we never really talked about it. In April 2010 we began tithing our 10% because we wanted to be faithful to our God who had blessed us so much. we both felt very strong about tithing off of what Adam MAKES and not what he brings home. I am not saying that is what is required. I am just saying that is what WE felt like was right for us. And I can't begin to tell you the blessings God has bestowed on us since we began being obedient to what he calls us to do in the Bible.
Grocery shopping is different for us. We set a budget every 2 weeks. And I get cash out and keep it in an envelope. When that cash is gone... then we have to eat whatever is in our house (which is what we are doing this week). Adam gets paid the 1st and the 16th so we budget every 2 weeks for everything. We believe it's important to "rebudget" every two weeks because different things come up all the time...birthdays, doctor appointments, dog stuff, haircuts, etc. Sometimes our grocery budget varies but for the most part, it stays the same every two weeks. I go on one BIG grocery trip and then usually have to go get break and milk and a few other things once or twice. I do use coupons. I signed up for "Southern Savers" and "Coupons.com". I will be honest though, I am not GREAT at it. Sometimes I forget them, or sometimes the coupons just don't "fit" with what I will be buying. I know some of you won't agree with this but I do all of my grocery shopping at Walmart. The prices are by far the cheapest in my town and it's the closest to my house. It's just one stop shopping and with a one year old that is NECESSARY!
There are still some areas we could "trim." Like cable and cell phones. But for now, we are ok without having to trim them. If the time comes, we will gladly do that. We do both have a gym membership that we pay monthly for. I have considered giving mine up but I am afraid if I do that I won't ever workout at home. So for now we are hanging on to those.
What we have taken most from FPU is that if we want something or want to go somewhere, we save to do it. Which requires us to know plans WAY in advance. So that we can save how ever long it takes to be able to go on a trip or buy Addison something BIG. We believe we have established a way of budgeting that is best for our family. Are we following everything Dave Ramsey says to a T?? No. But we are putting things into place where we hope that soon, we will be able to. We were doing NO saving before Dave and we weren't even thinking about retirement, etc. Now we are. It's going to be a LONG process of getting where we want to be... but we are working on it.
I will be honest... when we decided I would stay at home... I had it pictured different. I pictured lots of lunch dates, taking ALM shopping and out and about. In reality... we stay at home, we play outside, we go on walks... that's what our budget allows right now. And I feel so blessed to be able to stay at home. I have my bad days of wanting to "go and do" but then I snap back into reality and remember all that God has done for me and my family so that I can be home with Addison and I am so thankful.
That ladies, is my budget info. If you have specific questions, leave them in a comment with your email and I will be glad to email you back and answer you as openly as I can. Or you can always email me.
Hope you are all having a great week!

Staying at home
When I wrote a post on how I was struggling to find material to blog about, you kind readers gave me some suggestions and so I wanted to FINALLY get to talking about some of the things you inquired about!
Mrs H said...
I'd love to hear more about what you've learned from having ALM. What your routine is like, how having a child has changed your life, just about what you're up to in general. Also, how you have been creative with your new budget. I would be interested to read all those things.
Since having Addison I have learned so much. I have learned so much about being selfless. Bringing her into this world taught me so much about things I was lacking in life and missing out on. She just opened my eyes so much. In a nutshell, I guess she really made me grow up.
I don't think you can even begin to imagine how a child will change your life until you have one. I mean, I know I would have to give up "me time" and not have as much "us time" with my husband but until you have to actually do it... you can't get it. I won't lie, I struggle sometimes with not having enough "me time" or "us time". Sometimes I need to be alone and sometimes I want to be alone with my husband. But that's the selfish part of me. When Adam and I decided to have a baby we knew we would be giving up a lot of things, but TIME I don't think we really "got it" until she was here. I love every second I spend with Addison. She is an extension of me and I can't imagine life without her. But that's not to say we don't have our bad days. Just like you might have a bad day at work, we have them at home. There are definitely days when I think I need to go back to work, but then I remind myself that when I quit my job I quit because I knew this was God's plan for my life.
There are things I miss about working. I miss the adult interaction. I miss being appreciated (although I know Adam appreciated what I do). I miss accomplishing things. I miss being praised for good work. I liked my job. It was hard to leave. But I felt a calling to be a SAHM. And I feel so very blessed that I am able to stay at home. I know there are a lot of mothers that wish they could. I just never want people to think that being a SAHM is all glamorous and fun ALL THE TIME. It's not. There are days I miss "getting ready." Some days I never get out of my pj's.
Budget... I could do a whole post on this... actually I think I will :) Several of you asked about our budget and I am very open about things in our home so I will be glad to share tips and how we make it work for me to stay home. I promise that I will do a post on budget tomorrow.
Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great week! HUGS!

We just got Addison's 12 month pictures in. And can I just brag for a moment... these pictures are breathtaking to me. I know she's MY child so I think she is always beautiful but something about these pictures... they show off her sweet vibrant personality and I am telling you... I am just in love!
Enjoy and I hope these brighten up your day as much as they do mine!

Itsy Bitty Designs
So, my child rarely is seen (even at home) without a bow in her hair. I was spending a small fortune getting her bows to match all her outfits until I discovered I have a little hobby! What is that hobby... BOW MAKING :)
Turns out, I am not so bad at it. Well I made Addison about 20-25 bows and then said, why can't I sell these on Etsy...
The rest is history. I have officially opened my Etsy store, Itsy Bitty Designs. If you are wondering where the name came from, it's simple. I call Addison "Bitty" all the time and we all know "Itsy Bitsy" so I just changed it a little and TADA!
What am I selling... I am selling handmade bows and flowers (made by ME). I also have baby headbands for sell. I have 60 plus bows on there right now. They range in price from $2.50-4.50. And I will make custom bows at no extra charge. If there's a specific color combo you want let me know and I can do that for you and I will put up a private listing.
I have lots of Christmas bows listed right now so HURRY and get them for your sweet precious girls and contact me if you have any questions.
Here are a few that I have listed.

Thanksgiving 2010
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We always spend lunch with Adam's family here in the same town we live in, then we head to AL to eat dinner with my family.
Some people might think that is a lot to handle in one day but I like it because we get to see both of our families and no one has to sacrifice time.
We spent the morning tending to ALM and watching the parade. I absolutely love the parade. My mom and I used to watch it every year when I lived at home and I always wanted to carry that tradition on with my family. Addison wasn't too interested but she did like the singing and the balloons.
We ate lunch with Adam's family. I didn't overindulge because I know I had a dinner to come soon. Thanksgiving and the holidays aren't usually a problem for me when it comes to eating because I am so dang picky. I am strictly a turkey and mac and cheese girl. That's all I eat at the holidays so I usually don't over kill on the calories. I am not a huge fan of cakes/pies/desserts so I can usually keep myself within reason on caloric intake.
I did attempt to make a pecan pie... FAIL! I took it to my moms and it looked SO good but when we cut into it, it was kinda runny. Which is so weird because I followed the instructions to the T. Oh well, I shall try again at Christmas time perhaps.
You all know I love to shop. Haven't done a whole lot since quitting my job but nonetheless I love to shop. My mom and I used to go EARLY every year on black Friday and shop but the past 2 years, Auburn and Alabama decided to play on Friday at 1:30. So, that put a damper on my shopping. Auburn was victorious this year. WHOOOOO! We lost 2 years in a row so we were due. But it was an amazing game to watch. Final score of 28-27 will dang near give you a stroke. We are off to the SEC Championship this Saturday (post to come on that later).
Our Thanksgiving was pretty laid back. No family drama. No crazy shopping. Just an intense football game. That was about it. Here are a few pictures we took Thanksgiving morning.

I am struggling for content. I thought when I started blogging again I would have TONS to talk about because well I hadn't blogged in 3 months. But I am feeling STUCK.
So I am asking you to ASK ME! :) Ask me a question. Give me a blog topic you wanna hear about. I am open to any and everything.
Getting back in the swing of blogging is harder than I thought. I have the time and I actually suit down at my computer and then go blank.
I have at least a million thoughts run through my head a day that are probably good blog material but when I go to blog, I go blank.
My life is so different than it was when I was a "blogaholic."
I am a married, stay at home mom to a 1 year old, living on a budget. My life got busier yet slowed down at the same time.
So anyway... I am begging you. Help this mama with her blogging block.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.
Here's to me coming back next week with some good material thanks to you girls!

Love/ Hate with Dave Ramsey
Early this fall, our church offered Dave Ramsey as part of it's Sunday night "Deeper Roots" classes. Adam and I had been introduced to Dave by Amy and Dusty. We had talked about the basics of it, but Adam and I were longing for a deeper understanding of Dave's "Financial Peace."
I didn't discuss it much on my blog (if at all) but earlier this year, Adam and I had some serious financial difficulty. It came right at the time that I was about to resign from my job to stay at home full time with Addison. I look back now and realize that was Satan attacking us FULL FORCE! And it was rough. But we prayed, sat down made some changes to out life style, began tithing what God asks of us and I can't begin to tell you the blessing we have seen since.
Once you truly rely on God to take care of you. WOW, what a deeper faith you will get!
If you aren't familiar with Dave Ramsey or his Financial Peace University... click on the links to learn more. Dave has an amazing story... in a nutshell, he came from nothing and by 26 he was making over $250,000 a year. Within 2 years, he lost everything. He then went on a "quest to find out how money really worked."
And now he offers "Financial Peace University" as a 14 week study to show you how you can be debt free and begin saving for your future.
Let me tell you... I do not have a financial mind. AT ALL. Until this study, I didn't know what an IRA, 401K or mutual fund was. Seriously. I have never taken the time to learn and I was a Public Relations major in the College of Liberal Arts. I was required to take ONE math class and that is IT! I have never wanted to know about things like that... until now. I realize the importance of it all.
We have one week left of our FPU classes and although I am glad they are over, our journey to saving and getting our financial life right is just beginning. Adam and I started last March working really hard to pay off small debts we had here and there. And I am proud to say that we now only have a small amount left on ONE credit card, my student loans and our house. Other than that... we are debt free.
Dave's goal is for you to get debt free except for your house. His basic outline in FPU is 7 baby steps. These are from the link above:
Baby Step 1
$1,000 to start an Emergency Fund
An emergency fund is for those unexpected events in life that
you can't plan for: the loss of a job, an unexpected pregnancy, a faulty
car transmission, and the list goes on and on. It's not a matter of if
these events will happen; it's simply a matter of when they will happen.
Baby Step 2
Pay off all debt using the Debt Snowball
List your debts, excluding the house, in order. The smallest balance should be your number one priority. Don't worry about interest rates unless two debts have similar payoffs. If that's the case, then list the higher interest rate debt
Baby Step 3
3 to 6 months of expenses in savings
Once you complete the first two baby steps, you will have built serious momentum. But don't start throwing all your "extra" money into investments quite yet. It's time to build your full emergency fund.
Baby Step 4
Invest 15% of household income into Roth IRAs and pre-tax retirement
When you reach this step, you'll have no payments—except the house—and a fully funded emergency fund. Now it's time to get serious about building wealth.
Baby Step 5
College funding for children
By this point, you should have already started Baby Step 4—investing 15% of your income—before saving for college. Whether you are saving for you or your child to go to college, you need to start now.
Baby Step 6
Pay off home early
Now it's time to begin chunking all of your extra money toward the mortgage. You are getting closer to realizing the dream of a life with no house payments.
Baby Step 7
Build wealth and give!
It's time to build wealth and give like never before. Leave an inheritance for future generations, and bless others now with your excess.
So, we are still working on Baby Step 1. If I have learned anything, it's that this is a SLOW process, but it's never too soon to start. I wish I had known this right out of college. Or heck, even when I was 17 or 18. My view of money and debt is completely different. I am so thankful for that. Because we are educating ourselves on these topics, Adam and I will be able to retire very comfortably one day. I find great PEACE in that.
Dave says throughout FPU... "Live like no one else today so that later you can LIVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE!" I have to remind myself of that statement OFTEN. It's tough when friends all around me are buying new LV bags, going on nice vacays and getting new cars. But God has provided for me GREATLY. It's an everyday struggle for me, but I am reminded everyday that I am richly blessed by God. And I am grateful for everything I have.
If you feel like you are "drowning" in debt or just want to plan for your future... check out Dave's FPU. I am confident that one day... Adam and I will be able to say "WE ARE COMPLETELY DEBT FREE!!!!"

Addison's Candyland
It didn't take me long to decide on Addison's theme for her 1st birthday party. I knew I didn't want to do a "princess-y" theme and Candyland was one of my favorite games as a kid so it only seemed fitting.
Now I didn't spend $60,000 like Taylor did on RHOBH 9absolutely insane), but it was certainly a lot of fun and pretty dang cute!!!!
I started planning about 5 months out. Seems crazy but I am so glad I did. It was less stress when the party drew near and I already had most of the details all done.
I couldn't have planned or pulled the party off without help from my amazing mother, Erin and Karah! Deets to come. Thank you to you all. You kept me sane during all the crazy (but fun) planning.
One month ago today (Oct. 9th) we celebrated Addison's 1st birthday... here are the details...
Theme: Addison's Candyland
Location: Our home. We decided to have it outside because we have a big backyard that we could utilize.
Invitations: I ordered them from Little Beane Boutique on Etsy. I was beyond pleased with the quality and timing from this shop. They turned out so cute. They even came with pink envelopes and return address labels.
Favors: We had cotton candy and lots of other candy the kids could take away and the bags they candy went in had this sticker on it (or course with Addison's name). They were ordered from Little Beane Boutique too.
Outfit: I ordered her dress on Ebay (thanks to Karah's heads up). The brand is Claire and Charlie. It had smocked bubblegum machines on the top. I made her bow and we got her birthday hat on Etsy from Shop Lissy. I cannot express enough how awesome she was to work with on getting Addison's hat custom made and her prices... ummmm... AMAZING!
Food: We served hot dogs and chili with all the fixins. We had strawberry cupcakes with "1" toppers. Karah made the amazing toppers. My mom had this trash can made for the party!
Special tradition started: I borrowed this idea from Kristin also. We bought a tablecloth and had "Happy Birthday Addison" monogrammed on it. Each year we will have the number and the theme monogrammed around the bottom. This year is was (obviously) 1 with a lollipop. We will do it until she is 18.

Filament of cosmic web set aglow
Rare glimpse at massive outstretched gas cloud could reveal universe's hidden structure
Anatoly Klypin/New Mexico State University, Joel Primack/UC Santa Cruz
All of the universe's matter, cosmologists believe, forms a web of dark matter and gas that was spun shortly after the Big Bang and has been stretching out ever since. Now astronomers say they have glimpsed a brightly lit strand of this web.
But the researchers found far more cold gas than they expected based on computer simulations of the cosmic web, suggesting the web's structure could differ from theoretical predictions.
Most of the universe's mass seems to reside in slender interconnected filaments, which are primarily made of dark matter with smaller amounts of gas. Cosmologists' theories suggest that gas collects at filament intersections and becomes dense enough to form luminous galaxies. But because the filaments' dark matter is invisible and their sparse gas emits little light, the threads connecting galaxies have remained mostly hidden.
Astronomers have recently begun to spot filaments backlit from a distance by extremely

How do we raise body positive children in a body shaming world?
Given we're bombarded with unrealistic beauty standards and constant criticism of women's bodies in the media, body confidence is understandably a difficult thing for many of us to master. However, if we feel negatively about our bodies as adults, how can we expect young girls to grow up with a healthy attitude to theirs?
A recent survey conducted by The Be Real Campaign, found that two in three secondary aged school children worry about parts of their appearance, while a US survey last year found that children as young as five say they don't like their bodies.
In order to break the cycle of negative body image and to help children - particularly girls who have additional pressure placed on their appearance - feel comfortable and happy about the way they look, whatever their size and shape, we need to change the dialogue around image, particularly as parents.
Here are some key statements parents should avoid saying to, or in front of, their daughters:
1. "She shouldn't be wearing that"
The way we speak about other adults' bodies is important to consider. Liam Preston, head of the Be Real Campaign for body confidence, says it's all about establishing what's "normal" in your household.
"When a lot of people are watching TV, they can be quite critical of what they see on screen," he says. "'She shouldn't be wearing that outfit,' or, 'They look too big,' or, 'They look too skinny'. It's easy for people to say stuff they wouldn't say in person about people they're watching on TV, often in front of their own children."
Disparaging other people's bodies then becomes the norm and children may assume those types of comments are made about their own bodies by strangers too.
Consultant clinical psychologist, and author of The Supermum Myth, Dr Rachel Andrew adds: "In clinical sessions, children will say, 'Other girls think I'm fat', and will evidence what they have heard people say about others to back this up, even if they have never heard anything directly said about themselves."
2. "I look awful/ I need to lose weight"
How you feel and talk about your own body will have a direct impact on how your daughter sees hers.
"Parents are a huge influence on the way that children see themselves, others and the world," says Dr Andrew. "If a mother consistently talks negatively about her own body in front of her child, she is telling her child that the way bodies look is important, [that they] should look a certain way and if they don't, this leads to unhappiness.
"A child often cannot understand the wider context, so will take on these messages in a simple form like, 'Looking a certain way will make me happy'. This can set up a life-long association that the way a person looks equates to their happiness."
Of course, the outside world is full of criticism and stereotypes about women's bodies, and Dr Andrew says it's worth "being aware of their impact" on your child. "You are not going to be able to shield them from this completely, but you can increase resilience by modelling the messages you want them to take, through your own attitude and behaviour."
3. "This is a 'bad' food"
Developing a healthy relationship with food is a key component of achieving a healthy attitude to body image.
"If you say, 'This is a good food or a bad food', young people will pick up on that straightaway, and that isn't good for them as they try and understand what their own bodies need," Preston says. "As an adult worried about your [own] weight, it's easy to say, 'I probably shouldn't have that', but if you label it as 'bad food' that's something young people will think too, regardless of the context within which you're saying it."
4. "You look bigger/slimmer"
Pointing out how your daughter's appearance has changed is risky, even if you mean it as a compliment. It might imply that something was wrong with her appearance before, and she may put pressure on herself to continue looking that way.
Preston says: "In life we often say, 'Oh you look really good, you've lost a lot of weight' or, 'You look thinner'. But that reinforces this message [to children] that you have to look a certain way."
What if you're worried about the change in your daughter's weight for health reasons, though? While it's important for parents to notice changes to their children's health, this needs to be tackled with caution, and in a positive way - encouraging them to join a sports team or help you cook healthy meals, for example.
Dr Andrew says: "Putting on or losing significant weight can be a sign there may be an emotional or physical health problem, so it's natural parents act on this when necessary. Rather than raise an issue with weight, talk about their life more generally - how are things with school, friends, sleeping, and how are they feeling at the moment? The answers are more likely to give you clues about if there's an issue, and what to do about it."
5. Compliments that are only about her image
"I don't think there's an issue telling your child they look nice in what they're wearing, or that they look pretty, but if that's the only compliment you're giving your child and you're not addressing the other reasons why they're an amazing person young people will go through life thinking, 'The only thing people care about is whether I look nice, or look pretty or whether this dress is good,'" explains Preston.
And here are some conversations we should be having...
Dr Andrew says: "Move the conversation to skills, talents and resources that you and your child share. Praise your child specifically for those: 'You are so patient, caring, kind', and comment on others with these attributes too. You might enlist the support of their favourite celebrity or Youtuber if they are also sending out a similar message."
While Preston says: "The best way to shield your children from negative body image messages in the outside world is to have those conversations before they hear them. Talk about what it is to be positive about your body, and how the words you could say in a classroom could have a negative impact on someone's life, and the best way to do that is talk to your children at an early age. Talk to them about the language they might hear in classrooms - are they hearing things? How does that make them feel? And should they be challenging people around them who do say those things?"

The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV) is dedicated to preserving and enriching the cultural life and heritage of the Valley. This regional history complex includes a house dating to the eighteenth century, six acres of spectacular gardens, and a 50,000-square-foot museum featuring changing exhibitions, a permanent display of miniature houses, and an expansive gallery exploring the history and decorative arts of the Shenandoah Valley. The MSV also includes a Museum Store and café (admission not required). The galleries are open year-round; the house and gardens April through October.
The MSV sits on land originally claimed by Winchester founder James Wood in 1735. The property was passed through generations of Wood and Glass families until being acquired by Wood descendant and MSV benefactor Julian Wood Glass Jr. (1910–1992) between 1952 and 1955. Glass and his partner at the time, R. Lee Taylor (1924–2000), worked together to transform the site and its Glen Burnie House—built in 1794 by James Wood's son Robert—into a country retreat where the couple entertained in high style.

- Why share your data?
- How to share your data
- Constructing access permissions
- Open access data
- Open Science
Why share your data?
- To fulfill funder requirements. NSF expects researchers to share their data, and some directorates and divisions have specific guidelines, such as: NSF Directorate of Biological Sciences, Division of Earth Sciences, Directorate of Social, Behavioral & Economic Science. Other federal agencies are increasingly expecting researchers to share the data from publicly funded research. NIH has outlined elements to consider in preparing a data sharing plan.
- Some journals and societies require data archiving, i.e., PLoS, Nature, and the Dryad partner journals have a Joint Data Archiving Policy (JDAP).
- To raise interest in your research. Sharing detailed research data is associated with increased citation rate. (PLoS ONE)
- To speed research, particularly in complex research fields
- To establish priority and a public record.
How to share your data
Preserving the data in data centers or repositories which are managed by trusted entities for long-term access is the most common way to share data. Other options are to share directly with colleagues via email, or collaborative networks.
In many cases, repositories and data centers will have their own policies regarding access permissions. If you are going to use a repository/data center, check their policies before constructing your own access permissions or including them in a data management plan.
There is a growing body of guidance on how to cite data sets, and groups such as Dryad and DataCite are working on ways of tracking the use of data sets.
Registering published data sets with DataCite will facilitate finding and citing the dataset. A DOI or other persistent identifier makes it that much easier for others to cite your data.
Some types of data, particularly software, may require special license to to share. Contact NCSU's Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) for further information and guidance.
Constructing access permissions
Types of permissions
Your research group should consider the permissions you wish to use for making data available under your Data Management Plan. There are a number of important factors to consider and there may be constraints or specific rules on sharing that a particular repository, granting agency or other distributor enforces with respect to what you can and cannot require in making your project's data available through them.
This section is meant to inform you as to the options that may be available and to stimulate your thinking about what sharing data means within the context of the type of data you are making available, the culture and expectations of the field in which that data is shared, and any limitations that may exist based on your inclusion of data that brings with it certain permissions, or through your use of a resource with its own particular rules. Funders, such as NSF, will have expectations as well regarding what types of data need to be shared and while they provide researchers significant discretion regarding how data is shared, they expect a clear rationale, particularly for data with significant restrictions.
NC State University policies should also be consulted in making a decision about releasing data. The office of Sponsored Programs and Regulatory Compliance Services can provide guidance on determining permissions for data re-use.
Permission checklist
- Does your research project have sufficient permissions necessary to disseminate the project data.
- Did any of the data come from a third party source?
- If so, did the project obtain written permission to disseminate?
- Are there any restrictions you need to include in your permission statement?
- Do you need to provide access to all the data produced under a grant? For NSF purposes, data required to be shared will be determined by the community of interest through the process of peer review and program management. The federal government in Circular A-110 (2 CFR 215) defines the default terms and conditions for recipients of federal funding with respect to data rights and provides specific guidelines on what research data is not required to be shared or archived. These include:
- preliminary analyses
- drafts of scientific papers
- plans for future research
- peer reviews, or communications with colleagues
- physical objects (e.g., laboratory samples)
- trade secrets
- commercial information
- materials necessary to be held confidential by a researcher until they are published, or similar information which is protected under law
- Does your data include any private information, medical information, personally identifiable information, or other information with possible confidentiality concerns? The Federal government also defers data sharing compliance for data including "personnel and medical information and similar information the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, such as information that could be used to identify a particular person in a research study."
- Would the project like Attribution/Acknowledgment to be required or requested? If you require attribution, you could:
- provide a specific citation in your permission statement; or
- provide a link to a URL on your website so that users can find the most current citation; or
- ask the user to contact you in person for the appropriate information
- Do you desire to indicate that your expectation is that attribution will be in a certain form but you do not want to require compliance? If you are requesting attribution/acknowledgment, you could use the same mechanisms as above but would only make the request based on the research user's good will. It may help to explain why you are making the request. Attribution is very important in the academic environment both with respect to building the reputation of a research team but also to understand the provenance of the results. It is also important to consider whether for certain types of data, attribution requirements may present difficulties and may negatively impact utilization of your data.
- Would you like to receive information regarding the use of the project data by users? If you require the reporting of use do you want:
- user to request access to receive the data?
- copy of publication to be sent to you?
- Does the project need to be the source of the project data for quality control or other research integrity reasons (such as privacy) or would the project like to provide permission for users to redistribute project data under certain conditions?
- Not allowed
- Allowed but no sale or commercial use
- Allowed but limited in scope
Examples of Permissions Language
The following examples are provided for you to think about the aspects of data exchange and sharing that are important to your research project and how you might actually articulate your expectations. Please note that your optimal choice of permissions may conflict with the rules of a repository or other preferred access mechanism for your data. You may then need to balance whether it is better to comply with the repository rules or find alternatives.
1. Unrestricted Donation
You may copy, modify, distribute and perform the work(s) or data, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission provided that you: a) agree that we make no warranties about the work(s) or data, and disclaim liability for all uses of the work(s) or data, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law [the previous sentence should be included on all data releases]; and b) when using or citing the work(s) or data, you should not imply endorsement by us.
1(a). Addition of Request for Attribution/Acknowledgment

Open science
Open science (and a subset, open notebook science) is gaining traction in certain disciplines. There is not a commonly held definition for open science, but broadly speaking it is a movement to promote greater sharing and transparency in science.
Open Notebook Science is: "a URL to a laboratory notebook that is freely available and indexed on common search engines. It does not necessarily have to look like a paper notebook but it is essential that all of the information available to the researchers to make their conclusions is equally available to the rest of the world. Basically, no insider information."
Case studies and examples
Open Science Case Studies from the Research Information Network.
Open Wetware: lists labs, groups, and other resources participating in the effort "to promote the sharing of information, know-how, and wisdom among researchers and groups who are working in biology & biological engineering.".
UsefulChem: chemistry research led by the Bradley Laboratory at Drexel University, including a list of Open Science Notebooks.

CONWAY, Ark.—The Birmingham-Southern men's basketball team won its sixth straight game Friday evening, defeating Hendrix College on the road, 78-60.
BSC moves to 12-3 overall and 5-0 in the Southern Athletic Association, while Hendrix falls to 5-11, 0-5 in the SAA.
The Panthers scored the first basket of the game and would trail only once, 18-17, at the 10:37 mark, a lead that wouldn't last long as BSC proceeded to score seven straight points to go up 24-18. With 2:50 left in the half, the Panthers led 33-28, and ended the half on a seven-point run to lead 40-28.
BSC steadily built up its lead through the second half, going up 67-44 at the 8:11 mark and 74-51 at the 4:58 mark for the largest leads of the game.
Sophomore Larry Thomas led all players with 21 points for the Panthers, followed by senior Zac Richards with 13 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Seniors Blaise White and Kevin Kegarise led with three assists apiece, and White led with three steals.
The Panthers shot 50 percent for the game, hitting 28-56, and were 5-14 (.357) from beyond the arc and 17-24 (.708) from the free throw line. The Warriors shot 22-50 (.440) overall, 6-17 (.353) from three-point range, and 10-15 (.667) at the stripe.
Hendrix out-rebounded BSC 33-30 but committed more than twice as many turnovers with 23 to the Panthers' 11.
BSC stays on the road to face Rhodes on Sunday at 3 p.m. in Memphis. The two teams are currently tied atop the SAA standings at 5-0 each.

Libby Vincek frequently brought smiles to visitors' faces last spring as she guided tours of Blinn College's historic Brenham campus.
This year, Vincek is again creating smiles at an iconic place where young peoples' dreams come true – Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
Vincek came to Blinn from East Bernard High School and wasted no time getting involved in the Student Government Association, the Catholic Student Union, the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society and Wii Speak, a student speech club. She served Blinn as a student ambassador, guiding campus tours and answering questions from parents and prospective students, and was named Ms. Buccaneer as a sophomore in recognition of her leadership and character.
Upon receiving her associate's degree in communications from Blinn, Vincek was accepted to Texas Christian University, where she majored in communication studies and minored in sports broadcasting.
On a visit to Disney World with her family, Vincek was spotted by a talent scout, who suggested she audition to become a performer there.
"I wasn't sure if I was ready for it, but God gave me this opportunity and this huge chance to take," Vincek said. "I knew if I passed up this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity I would look back on it with regret."
Vincek discussed the opportunity with her parents, then flew to Florida for the audition in September. After three rounds of tryouts that included dancing, interviews and performing in costume, Vincek was selected for a full-time position.
Just two days after completing her Fall finals at TCU, Vincek moved to Florida to begin her new gig.
"That smile that you put on children's faces, it's beautiful," Vincek said. "It's a very rewarding job because you see the magic you make. I never would have thought I'd be here a year ago, but I know I'm here for a reason."
Vincek typically works eight- to 10-hour days at the park, including an hour of hair and makeup preparation when she arrives. She spends her days greeting children and sharing the magic of Disney World.
"The best performers are very witty," Vincek said. "You never know what a child might say when they first meet you, and making each child's experience unique and unforgettable is important to me. It's not just a job – it's a chance to put a sparkle in a child's eye."
Vincek said her future plans include returning to TCU.
"I've been truly blessed to be here, but I also know I want the college experience," Vincek said. "Being away this past year has made me realize how much I miss being in my home state. I am looking forward to going back to TCU to finish what I started at Blinn College."

Spyware Doctor provides three-way spyware protection for your PC through real-time threat blocking, advanced system scanning and immunization against known browser infections. Spyware Doctor is a multi-award winning spyware removal utility that detects, removes and protects your PC from thousands of potential spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, spybots and tracking threats. Protect your privacy and computing habits from prying eyes and virtual trespassers with the help of Spyware Doctor. Anti-virus software and firewalls do not fully protect your system against the majority of spyware and privacy threats.
Because spyware is commonly bundled with software downloads, attached to e-mails, or transmitted through networks it can appear to be legitimate software, but once installed it can be nearly impossible to detect and remove without the help of a dedicated spyware removal tool like Spyware Doctor.
Spyware Doctor is advanced technology designed especially for people, not just experts. That is one reason why it won the People's Choice Award in 2005, 2006 and 2007. It is automatically configured out of the box to give you optimal protection with limited interaction so all you need to do is install it for immediate and ongoing protection.
Spyware Doctor's advanced IntelliGuard technology only alerts users on a true Spyware detection. This is significant because you should not be interrupted by cryptic questions every time you install software, add a site to your favorites or change your PC settings. Such messages can be confusing and lead to undesirable outcomes such as inoperable programs, lost favorites or even Spyware being allowed to install on the system. We've done the research so you don't have to.

Puppy Bins: BBDO SF
To get the word out about puppy mills, we customized a city newspaper bin with a digital screen and sound effects so it appeared to be a bin full of puppies; when opened, one found information on the horrors of puppy mill breeding.

Government suspending some foreclosures in Northeast because of Sandy
WASHINGTON The government is suspending foreclosures in Rhode Island on some federally insured mortgages because of Superstorm Sandy, the latest state to receive a 90-day moratorium.
The Federal Housing Administration has already suspended foreclosures in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. The FHA, which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, insures mortgages for low- and middle-income borrowers.
HUD announced Monday that the moratorium also will apply to homeowners in Rhode Island affected by the storm. President Barack Obama issued a disaster declaration Saturday for Bristol, Newport and Washington counties in the state.

text: While term limits may seem like a great idea to help limit the destructiveness of big-government politicians, term limits also force Constitution-abiding statesmen out of office. An educated electorate will elect genuine constitutionalists who abide by their oath of office. The short cut of term limits is not a long-term solution. The John Birch Society supports freedom at the ballot box and therefore opposes term limits.

It was the quintessential British road-racer in the '30s. But it didn't conquer America until 1949.
That's the year famed Norton factory tuner Francis Beart showed up at Daytona for the 200-mile beach race with three secret weapons: all Manx Nortons.
Manxes—the breathed-on Norton Internationals that were built and tuned for the grueling Isle of Man TT—had a reputation for speed and handling that was unmatched in Europe. But outside of a dedicated cadre of Brit-bike junkies, the company and its machines were not well-known here in the late '40s.
Beart was charged with changing that. So he arranged to put this Manx and two others into the hands of three very capable racers—Dick Klamfoth, Billy Matthews and Tex Luse—for America's most celebrated race.
Engine: Single-cylinder overhead camshaft
Displacement: 495cc
Owner: Mark Schmalbach - McCordsville, Ind.
Klamfoth, who had raced Nortons the previous year, remembers the bike well.
"It was kind of an obsolete motorcycle when we rode it," Klamfoth says. "But it was still better than the (Harley-Davidson) WR. It had won a lot of world titles."
The Manxes featured a well-fettled 495cc single-cylinder overhead camshaft engine that was designed for longevity-the TT was, after all, a 264-mile race. It was light, even a bit skittish on the long beach straight, Klamfoth remembers, but he could really make up time on the other long straight, down the pavement of Florida Route A1A.
Still, no one knew how the Manxes would handle the competition from the bigger side-valve Harleys and Indians. That is, until the race began. Then the trio of Nortons went to the front and stayed there. They finished 1-2-3, with Klamfoth getting the win, followed by Matthews and Luse.
It was after the race that the pedigree of this particular Manx got clouded. According to the bike's serial number, it was one of the three that raced, all of which were packed up immediately afterward and returned to England. But since no one made note of which rider rode which bike, the only thing we can say for sure about this Manx is that it finished on the podium in the 1949 Daytona 200. And it has a one in three chance of being the race winner.
The bike bounced from owner to owner until Mike Schmalbach, of McCordsville, Indiana, acquired it. In addition to a bike with an impressive racing pedigree, Schmalbach got another historic bonus.
"I was going through it, and the tach wasn't working," he says. "So I took it apart to see what was wrong. It was full of beach sand."
