Don't worry about getting all of your forms now - they usually arrive by mail in January.
When you do get them - make sure they're all correct, and if not, contact the payer right away to make a change.
To get ahead of the game, confirm that each employer, bank or other payer has a current mailing address.

"There's no written code for Parkour, but pretty much every where you find the same principals . . . At some point, even the strongest person freezes on a jump. It teaches you humility and reminds you where you came from." That's why no one ever finishes a challenge alone . . . "Parkour was always about community" (pg. 154)
In his book, Natural Born Heroes, Chris McDougall is arguing that mankind can do much more than what we've come to believe. Heroes and acts of heroism were once normal, common, and expected. Now, they're the exception. Largely because we've forgotten what our bodies can do. What they were made to do. And why they were made to do them: to live, and to serve.
Parkour, according to McDougall, is a modern day example of what we've lost. The real obstacle to Parkour isn't strength, it's trust. "I never knew what my body could do," Shirley Darlington, a Parkour participant and leader of the movement, explains, "so it took a long time to build the confidence to throw my full weight into a movement" . . . "Once I did, it changed everything."
Her body, her mind, and her sense of belonging.
She now runs a Parkour movement where on any given night, she will email her Parkour group telling them when and where to meet. From there, the city is their gym, their playground, their sanctuary. "You're always on the edge of fear," Shirley explained, "because your body senses it can do more than your mind will let it."

Matthew 16:26For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
Bro. Trent & Ms. Rebecca
|Welcome to Mantachie First Baptist
Searching My Soul
Have you ever felt your spirit was lost and you needed to find yourself?Maybe you sense you have been wandering around in darkness and not getting anywhere. There comes a time when all Christians need to evaluate their walk with God, search their souls, and take inventory on what's going on in their life. This comes with a price to pay and a change to be made in how you are living. So what questions do you need to ask yourself when it comes to searching your soul? First of all, you need to ask if how you are living in a way that is pleasing to God. If you are only pleasing your friends and the world, you are missing the point of being a Christian. You also need to consider what God wants to use you for and if you haven't been praying for direction, you need to begin. Living for Him is a priority for all Christians and knowing you are following God's lead is very important. The third thing you should consider is,are you doing enough as a Christian to bring honor and glory to God. To answer this question, it would have to be no because none of us can ever do enough for God considering what He has done for us. So, when you begin soul searching, remember these 3 things to begin your self-evaluation.
Matthew 16:26For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

Universal Health Insurance in France: How Sustainable? Essays on the French Health Care System
In France, American nostrums of unleashing market forces under the banner of "consumer-directed health care," and selective contracting by private health insurers, have gained little ground. That should not, however, lead one to conclude that the French health care system is irrelevant to the United States. The organization and financing of health care, in France, resembles, in many respects, that of the United States - more so, in fact, than do Britain's National Health Service or Canadian and German national health insurance (NHI). The French reliance on a public-private mix that includes a significant proprietary hospital sector, private fee-for-service medical practice, and enormous patient choice among a pluralistic organization of health care providers makes French NHI a model for what Senator Ted Kennedy and Congressman Pete Stark have called "Medicare for all."

Greatest Game Ever Played At The Box Office/
The bad news about The Greatest Game Ever Played's poor box office showing is that it will probably make it that much tougher for golf films to be green lit.
The good news is that in Hollywood's new quick turnaround model, we may get it on DVD by Christmas!
From boxofficeguru.com:
Disney's golf drama The Greatest Game Ever Played held up well in its second swing dipping only 29% to an estimated $2.6M thanks to an additional 796 theaters. With the per-theater average falling 60% and the ten-day total sitting at $7.4M, look for a weak $12-13M final.

Question 31 // What's it like to grow up in Northern Ireland? (feat. Paul Crilly)
Paul Crilly owns one of my favorite Irish pubs in Minneapolis, Morrissey's. If you know me, you know I love Ireland and Irish culture. I set out to have a fun conversation about St. Patrick's Day and ended up having a far deeper convo than I was expecting. What's it REALLY like to grow up in Northern Ireland during "The Troubles"? What's it like to move to America when you're 19? And what make's Irish Pubs so much more inviting than your typical bar?

Cambodia - Day 7
Swim, breakfast and tuk tuk convoy to Empowering Cambodia to be treated to a spectacular Christmas concert and play performed by the children. Excellent and detailed choreography made for a show that was funny, musical, multi-coloured and all about the birth of Jesus. Well done to the teachers who planned and arranged such a world standard production without compromise - a real highlight!!
Mid morning was the giving of the Christmas gifts. The bewildered look on the children's faces was priceless as they respectfully peered into their gift bags to discover the contents and as they quietly compared their findings with one another. The gratefulness displayed by these children was truly amazing!
Early afternoon about 170 mothers and grandmothers of the children arrived for a women's health workshop run by nurse Heather. After realising we had about 100 more women than planned, a quick dash was made to the local shops to purchase more gift supplies of sanitary ware for each woman. The centre was packed from front to back as word had spread amongst the women. A much smaller group of men including the impact team boys and the male leadership of Empowering Cambodia joined James for some teaching on the importance of placing our wives first after God.
The beautiful day concluded with a village visit where we gave out new shorts and t-shirts for the local children and also to see the new two day old calf that was part of Empowering Cambodia's 'Cow Bank' programme. Also a wonderful sunset over the rice-fields before taking most of the Impact group back to the centre for dinner and the traditional "sleep over".
Women at the health care talk.

It's hard to believe that it's been 3 weeks since my last post. I seem to find my own time belongs to everyone else. Some people are destined to be of service to others.
I want to write about Modern Fortune Telling. Most of the fortune-telling decks on the market (not including the Sacred Tarot) are rooted in traditional meanings. What I mean by traditional is the meanings which originally were associated with a particular deck. No matter what generation of fortune-telling it is the same questions are usually asked. Someone in 2013 might ask about a love affair, however, a more modern question could be about the success of an on-line business. Fortune telling cards namely the Sibilla style decks were created before the Internet.
So, are we taking the traditional fortune-telling cards into the modern world or are we becoming Modern Fortune Tellers by tweaking the meanings to fit the scenario?
A modern Fortune Teller can still be rooted in traditional Cartomancy but delivers modern day answers to your clients. We don't have such a thing as modern Cartomancy. It has already been invented. All we are doing is building upon something that already exists.
Love was the same in 1713 as it is in 2013. Love is the root of most questions.
Fortune telling is the action of predicting "things" in a person's life. Cartomancy is fortune-telling using cards. If you Read cards you are a Cartomancy Fortune Teller. If you Read (with intent to predict) markings or shapes on the ground you are a Geomancy Fortune Teller.
A Fortune Teller is not always a Cartomancer, although, it's been a long time association that all fortune tellers Read cards. They don't. Fortune Tellers read tea leaves, palms, coffee grounds, dice, clouds,etc.
Back to my original thought. A modern Cartomancy Fortune-Teller is a person who practices predicting "things" in someone's life in this current time, for example, by using a vintage deck of cards with traditional meanings. Confusing 🙂

KM Weiland is the author of two books on writing (Outlining Your Novel and Structuring Your Novel), and several works of fiction, including Behold the Dawn and Dreamlander. This post is based on the information in Structuring Your Novel, available on Kindle, and which I highly recommend for Weiland's understandable and no-nonsense way of explaining structure in ten steps:
The First Act
1. The Hook
The Hook will always be a question (perhaps explicit, but probably implicit), piquing your readers' curiosity, urging them to read on and find out, "What happens next?". This needs to be as close as possible to the beginning of the book—ideally on the first page, if not in the first line.
Your opening also needs to set the tone of your book (is it light, dark, funny, sad, deep …), and perform several other vital functions:
- Introduce your hero and heroine
- Establish the time and setting
- Open with movement
- Establish conflict
Weiland cautions against using prologues (because they force the reader to begin the story twice), dream sequences (considered Freudian), flashbacks, flashforwards or too much backstory in the opening chapters. Done well, these techniques can form compelling fiction, but they are usually not done well.
2. The Inciting Event
The Inciting Event (which may also be called the Inciting Incident) is the conflict which sets the story's action in motion. It is most often found in the opening chapter, but sometimes the Inciting Event occurs before the story itself actually starts, and sometimes it won't happen until late in the first quarter of the book. Be aware that if the Inciting Event doesn't occur quickly, the story may begin to drag (and remember, if a story feels as if it is dragging, it is probably because the structure is off).
3. The Key Event
The Key Event is related to the Inciting Event. It is that moment or action when the lead character becomes engaged by the Inciting Event. If the Inciting Event is the start of a war, the Key Event is when the protagonist becomes personally involved in the war.
4. The First Plot Point
The First Plot Point is an event that changes everything for the protagonist.
The first quarter of your book lays the foundation of your entire story. Everything that is important at the end of the story must have been introduced in the First Act (equally, everything that is introduced in the First Act should have relevance and importance later in the story). Laying this foundation for future conflict is the most important function of the First Act.
The second function is to give your readers the opportunity to learn about your characters, about their goals and motivations. This is best done through the use of deep point of view.
The Second Act
5. The First Half of the Second Act
The protagonist is now reacting to the events around them. There must be no choice: they have to react to what has now become the status quo. There is no way back to 'normal'.
6. The Midpoint
The Midpoint is your story's second major plot point (or, as Randy Ingermanson says, your second disaster). The difference is that now your character is more equipped to handle what happens.
7. The Second Half of the Second Act
Now your protagonist is ready to go on the offensive, to take action against the antagonistic force. This Midpoint has changed the way your protagonist sees the world, so this is also where we will start to see change in their character arc (because character change, like conflict, is one of the hallmarks of good fiction).
The Third Act
8. The Third Plot Point
This is, once again, going to change everything. Whatever happens here is going to force your character to a low place. He's going to finally have to analyze his actions and his motivations and get down to the core of his own personal character arc.
9. The Climax
Your Climax is the point of the whole story. This is where the conflict must finally be resolved, one way or the other. It will
probably start at around the 90% mark of the story, and finish only a few pages before The End.
10. The Resolution
The Resolution is the one final scene that shows how your character will react to the events of the Climax. These closing paragraphs have dual purpose: to leave your reader with warm feelings about this book, and to sell your next book.
The three-act structure, the Snowflake method, the ten-point method … What method of plotting do you use? One of these, or something different?

Cell Phone reception in the Adirondacks
please don't turn this into a heated discussion about cell phones and hiking.
My cell phone is not healthy and will need to be replaced. I hate to do it because it means signing up for a new plan and I've got a real cheap one from about five years ago. Many months I use all of seven minutes, but with a teenager driving, soon going away to college(where land lines aren't even used anymore) it seems time to bite the bullet and move on.
Since I have to purchase a new plan I can also choose a new carrier if I want.
In central New York it doesn't matter whether it's Verizon or Cingular. But other parts of the state there can be quite a difference in coverage.
I was recently with someone quite a ways in kayaking and I was flabbergasted that they got signal. Verizon.
I'd like to know where and what carrier folks have that have worked in the Adirondacks. Any and all areas please since I spend time all over the place.
Acadia, I'll have to do a bit more research on. Remember I usually spend two weeks up there every year, so this is not a hiking tool, it's a way to be able to be gotten hold of by family and check up on my house etc.
PM me if you'd rather keep your usage of places and carrier private.
Thanks guys. I'd just like to make a good decision before I lock into a two year plan.
I've received good signal with Verizon on Hurricane and Giant. Hurricane was great, Giant wasn't all that great with reception, but then again, the GPS unit I was carrying didn't seem to be fairing all that well on that particular day either, and those Rhinos are supposed to be pretty reliable. My Verizon phone hasn't worked well in lower elevations, and it's pretty useless in the I-87 corridor from Warrensburg (exit 23) up until Plattsburgh.
That's about the extent of my experience in the Dacks with phones.
There is no service in the Keene Valley until you get west of the Verizon Center on Rt 73, then there is limited Verizon service. We have picked up a signal (Verizon) on some summits but never at lower elevations. I think it's pretty unreliable around the High Peaks.
anybody here use sprint as a carrier?
ive had a sprint plan for five years running and have enjoyed not having service when in most of the areas ive found myself in when staying in the adirondacks.
however, during the trip ill be taking in mid september, i will be having to do some work while vacationing, which means i will have to be on a phone some.
our cabin is on upper saranac lake. i was counting on being able to go to either tupper lake, saranac inn, or saranac lake if i needed reception (i dont know if the cabin has a phone).
its not something im super concerned with, but does anyone have an idea of what kind of reception i can expect with sprint on or around upper saranac.
also, we have two way radios for when im fishing and my girlfriend is in the cabin. if i stray out of range, could my girlfriend call me on the cell? (of course, even if im told there is reception on the lake, ill still tell her theres none). ;)
Another Verizon customer here. Good but not great coverage. For example, had a strong 2 bar signal on Gothics, but the cell tower was too far away to receive the signal from the phone. Was happening with several folks on top (and to be honest it was the first time I have ever tried making a call from atop a mountain, someone asked about signal strength and I got my phone out :rolleyes: ). Verizon customer service is better than Cingular's, my old carrier.
FYI, the latest Albany ADK Club chaper magazine (the Adirondac) has an interesting, though highly bias, article on cell phones in the outdoors.
Verizon customer here. No signal at all while in Old Forge. I'm a former sprint user and can say from experience that verizon has about the best coverage of areas that you will find. Just not that good in the dacks yet. My wife started us on our verizon plan and she's just about ready to renew. We have the plan with her phone being on an unlimited monthly flat rate with the two "free" camera phones, for an astronomical fee. She want's to go to the pay by the minute plan since my cell is basically for emergency use and sits in the glove compartment 99.9% of the time. Good luck- all these companies are pretty good at knowing what each other are charging. Kind of reminds me of switching from cable to the dish- it may look attractive to switch at first but upon further investigation- they gotcha.
I recently used my "phone a friend" option from a ridge on Armstrong and got pretty good reception (and good advice!). I use Nextel. I also had excellent reception on top of Pyramid and Gothics.
I'm another Verizon customer. My ADK cell phone usage is limited to Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. I haven't had a problem in either place. After that, I turn the phone off when I get to the trail head.
FWIW, my parents have Cingular, and live near Ogdensburg. They get pretty bad reception at home, but I get decent reception with Verizon there.
Cingular here. No reception going north past Warrensburg, and no reception from the Northway west to Tupper Lake, or north from Tupper to Paul Smiths.
NOTE: I have a Go Phone which has a smaller coverage area than contract customers, but none the less, worth noting.....
I have cingular, and my phone gets reception just about everywhere. Keene& keene valley are two spots without signal. Pretty much every summit, and quite a bit of the NPT. I don't really always use it, but I do email pictures to my computer from different areas. I even get signal in some really remote spots where I would think there is no way. I even managed to land a new job by phone while hiking Stewart. I know the cell phone thing pisses people off, but wilderness is still wilderness... even when mr. roboto starts playing in my pack.
I have a Cingular phone (GSM system) and thought it was "OK" (reception only in and near Lake Placid) until my son came to visit with his new Sprint phone. Without question, Sprint (and Verizon which also uses the CDMA system) has a much superior system in the High Peaks and surrounding area. Cingular has service north to Warrenburgh, a little around Schroon Lake, then you might as well turn it off.
I used to have Verizon ... but I dropped it because of poor service. I have Sprint now ... I haven't really tried it in the 'dacks but it worked like a charm in Alaska.
:clap: Keep those comments coming... all good info :thumbs:
Hi - I have Verizon, and although I hate to admit it, I have made calls from the summits of Santanoni and Algonquin (my husband likes to know that I'm safe). I have service in Lake Placid, but not at the Loj. And I have service in Old Forge (right in town), but I lose service about one mile down South Shore Road.
If you look at the coverage maps provided by the carriers themselves, Verizon has widest coverage into remote(r) areas of the Daks (at least compared to Cingular/Sprint and T-Mobile). In fact thats why I went with them. Mountain top reception usually pretty good. When we camp at Paradox Lake I cant get any reception unless I take the Kayak out into the lake or drive into Schroon lake (which has very good service). My teenage kids have also figured out you can get reception if you stand at the right side of the end of the boat dock!
Weather or atmospheric conditions has a lot to do with "one bar or no bar" reception.
I was actually able to make a call from Marcy Dam one night in June.
I had a client call me once while I was heading down ADK Loj road. Sounded like they were next door. But there are lots of areas where you just don't get reception.
Check out the detailed coverage maps. For verizon at least, I found it pretty accurate.
I have Verizon and the only place I have poor reception is from Star Lake To near Tupper Lake.I had 4 bar reception at Avalanche Lake.I also think reception depends on what kind of phone one has.With my old phone it was hard to get reception at all in the Adirondacks.
Cingular here, i have to say it sucks in the ADK'S,only works in wide open spaces or on the summit of a mountain, i'd go with verizon
This is always a hard question to answer because no matter what type of network, CDMA, TDMA, or GSM (in the near future also 3G / HSDPA), your coverage is based on an "optimum" situation. Different days lend them selves to different propagation situations as do different phones lend them selves to better or worse reception.
I myself have noticed spotty GSM coverage (both on 1900 MHz and 850 MHz) at best though the Adirondacks, but then again I am a little more critical of coverage than the average user since I work as a network planner for the Fido/Rogers GSM wireless network north of the border.
I have been asked this same question when it comes to our network and people are normally surprised when I answer that each network has its own strengths and weaknesses. Meaning, what might work great for you, may not for someone else.
For sure in the case of mountain ranges like in the Adirondacks its REALLY hard to have perfect coverage because of the propagation issues that mountains and valleys cause. Not to mention, even though I work in the wireless industry, and in most cases on a business day could not do without my cell, I also would not want to see the Adirondacks scattered with cell sites every 3 to 6 miles up and down each highway. Considering this and with the above mentioned comments from other posts, it might be a little easier to look at the areas you spend most time in and look for a network that has the coverage you require in those locations.
Just remember, wireless networks and cell phones are like spices, some like em on their food and others dont.
I hope this helps some... :Peek:
I have Cingular (Blackberry 7290) and Verizon (RAZR V3C), and both work mainly on summits/ridges/highpoints in the ADKs. Also, in some valleys with open view to localities with a cell tower.
However, I DO NOT depend on them in the case of emergency that might occur on the trail. I leave a detailed agenda with someone prior to departing (times, routes, etc).
I usually keep them turned off, for two reasons. 1) I do not want a potential distraction to myself or others due to a ringing cell phone 2) it kills the battery really quick when you are drifting in and out of coverage and the phone keeps transmitting to find a signal.
Good luck!
Oh, another point. I've been able to send pics and videos with the Verizon RAZR from summits.

I have no plans to quit Super Falcons post, says Thomas Dennerby
Thomas Dennerby says he has no plans to quit his post as the head coach of the Nigeria senior women's team ahead of next week's Africa Women's Cup of Nations in Ghana.
Reports claim that the Swede has threatened to dump the country just days from the Super Falcons opener against South Africa at the Cape Coast Stadium over alleged unpaid eight-month salaries.
The 59-year-old, who was appointed by the Nigeria Football Federation in January, replaced erstwhile interim gaffer Florence Omagbemi, who was not retained after her African title success in 2016.
Editors' Picks
With days to Ghana 2018, the former Sweden coach, who is currently in Abidjan for an eight-day final camping, was shocked at the claims but has reiterated his desire to lead the team to glory.
"I am in shock over the news that I have resigned my position as the coach of the team [Super Falcons]," Dennerby told Goal.
"I heard about the rumour too and was surprised because I never made such a decision. I am busy here [in Abidjan] with the team's preparations and at no point spoke to anyone about resigning.
"I never threatened to quit the team and do not have such plans on my mind. At the moment, we need maximum concentration for our preparations and any distraction now will do us no good."
Dennerby will be hoping to help Nigeria successfully defend their title and as well qualify for next year's Fifa Women's World Cup in France.

Formerly incarcerated black men with family in jail or prison are more likely to be obese
HOUSTON – (April 26, 2018) – Black men who have been incarcerated and have a close relative in jail or prison are three times more likely to be obese than other black men, according to new research from a sociologist at Rice University.
"How Incarceration Influences Native-Born Black Men's Risk of Obesity" will appear in an upcoming issue of the journal Ethnicity & Disease. The study used data from the 2001-2003 National Survey of American Life, which includes a nationally representative sample of 1,140 black men. The research team examined the rate of incarceration among these men and their family members and adjusted for factors such as age, income, education, health insurance and physical activity.
Lead author Tony Brown, a professor of sociology in Rice's School of Social Sciences, found that the higher risk of obesity for black men who were incarcerated at some point in their lives was associated with having a close family member incarcerated. The odds of being obese decreased by 42 percent for men who had been incarcerated but had no close family members incarcerated. Obesity was defined as a body mass index of 30 or greater.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the obesity rate for black men in the United States is 37.9 percent.
Brown said one possible explanation for the study's findings is that previously incarcerated black men with no family in jail or prison may be motivated to make a fresh start and embrace healthful habits, whereas black men with criminal records and close family members in jail or prison may be subject to stressors (such as physical separation from a loved one, problems adjusting to life on the outside, and empathy for their incarcerated family member), which may cause them to overeat.
"We think our work clearly demonstrates that mass incarcerations scar lives – and results in higher rates of obesity for black men – because of the myriad traumatic events that take place during and after incarceration, and because already vulnerable families experience collateral consequences," Brown said.
Brown said the research findings demonstrate that former and familial incarceration cannot be discounted when examining risk for obesity among black men. In addition, he noted that the study establishes that women and children connected to incarcerated black men are not the only people who suffer health consequences when family members are in jail or prison.
The study was co-authored with Julian Culver and Asia Bento, sociology graduate students at Rice. The paper is available online at https://www.ethndis.org/edonline/index.php/ethndis.

The 2000-2001 Tiger gymnastics team showed their strength with a series of athletic, graceful, mind-boggling feats. This year's team consisted of ladies with all levels of experience and from 8th grade through 12th grade. Head Coach Jennifer Kolback and her assistant, Jon Douville, again led the Tigers. Seniors Katherine Balcom, Erin Halverson and Lindsay Smith were the team's captains.
The team started with a meet against Washburn. The Millers were no match for the Tigers. South won easily, 133.18-93.45. Roosevelt lost by over 90 points, 130-925-39.4! Henry/North was the third team to fall, 132.4-85.45. Edison also went down 130.75-62.8.
The closest meet of the year was against Southwest. The Lakers were the only conference team to score over 100 points during the season. However, the Tigers still out-classed their opponents and won 131-120.35.
South participated in two non-conference tournaments. In the Minnesota Gymnastics Officials Association tournament, the Tigers finished in sixth place. At the Maple Grove Invitational, South finished third.
South and Southwest represented Minneapolis in the Twin City meet against St. Paul Highland Park and Cretin-Derham Hall. South won the meet with 140.75 points. Highland Park finished a very close second with 140.125. Cretin, 134.475 and Southwest 118.6, finished third and fourth respectively.
For the second time, South won the Region 5AA meet and advanced to the State Tournament. In the Region meet, the Tigers scored 140.9 points.

I mentioned the other day that I was going to continue to spread the Christmas cheer a little longer, especially since I intended to share a few details from our holiday but never got around to it. Rather than let some of the photos and efforts go to waste, I thought it might be nice to share regardless. I also shared some details here, here, and here. Be forewarned, some of the decor ideas I'm featuring below aren't really groundbreaking, or especially creative…at all. I'm mostly sharing because I know my Mom would want to see. Given that they live a thousand miles away, she never gets to see our house done up for the holidays. And Mom, given that your obsession with Christmas and decorating is no secret, I knew you'd want to check it out. So this one's for you.
Our Christmas Tree
So this is probably considered terrible photography but we are trying to learn our camera better and have been playing around with the manual settings on the DSLR. I sort of like how these turned out so in the spirit of creativity and experimentation I present to you blurry Christmas tree…
…and twinkly Christmas tree…
…and regular Christmas tree…
Sorry she forgot to put her pants on…but I never got around to making that DIY Ruffle Tree Skirt. Best laid plans. It's definitely on the agenda for next year given that I already purchased the materials. Heck, I may even whip it up in July. For the record, yes, this is a fake Christmas tree. It belonged to Andrew's Grandmother and in the words of my father-in-law, "it's 1965 vintage". A few years ago, I HATED this tree. I grew up with a fresh tree and it's just what I'm used to. Who moved my tree, 'er cheese, sort of thing. But this tree has grown on me (no pun intended) and now I adore it. In fact, next year, the tentative plan is to do a fresh tree in our den space, and keep this one here in the living room and deck it out with more of a theme and keep the family ornaments on the den tree. But I have approximately 345 days to figure that out so moving on. One of my favorite glass ornaments.
I was all about the "shop your house" concept this Christmas. For starters, I was being cheap and didn't want to spend money unnecessarily. Second, there is only so much space to store decorations and if you ask Andrew, I have nearly met my quota…he's going to start charging me for space in the attic soon, I'm sure of it. It's actually quite fun poking through your items, or even other decor you use throughout the year and try to come up with ways to repurpose and restyle.
Pottery Barn jars with pinecones and small glass ornaments. I found a bag of decorative pinecones at Target earlier in the season for $5 and the ornaments were a clearance buy from Pier 1 a few seasons ago.
Below are some apothecary jars from Michael's that were used during my wedding. The ornaments were from an inexpensive ornaments set from Michael's a few season ago that I no longer use on the tree.
Also, I know some family and friends check in here so I'm sharing a few great family shots we took on Christmas Eve. This year, we got dolled up, had a delicious dinner at a local Portuguese restaurant with an even more amazing wine selection, and attended a lovely midnight Mass.
Andrew and me
Look who finally completed one of the Pinterest projects I'd intended to make! I love my monogram berry wreath. See this post for more details.
And finally…one of my favorites. This picture was taken at my parents house (where I grew up). A few years ago they began putting lights on this little tree out back, set away from the house. It always looks so friendly and magical, especially when it has snowed, and the neighbors love it as it's visible from other backyards.
We are beyond blessed and had a wonderful holiday season celebrating with family and friends. For those family and friends who we were not able to visit with, you were missed and we thought of you every second. As this season draws to a close, we hope you and yours found equal blessings and are entering this new year refreshed. Check back tomorrow as I'll be posting our favorite holiday cookie recipe as a sweet finish to the holiday recaps. Have a wonderful Monday!

DETROIT -- Canadian restrictions on language and programming are giving U.S. satellite radio companies the blues.
XM Satellite Radio Inc. is rethinking whether it wants to enter the Canadian market in light of the additional costs and complications of meeting government content requirements.
Sirius Radio Inc. is committed to moving forward but has concerns.
"We are spending most of our time with our Canadian partner trying to determine if this is the right thing to do, given the restrictions," says XM Chairman Gary Parsons.
Options "include not going forward at all," Parsons said
Last week the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commission approved applications for the companies to broadcast. The hitch is that the companies must guarantee a certain level of French-language and Canadian music programming. Canada officially is a bilingual country using French and English.
For example, at least eight original channels must be produced in Canada and a maximum of nine foreign channels may be offered for each Canadian channel. At least 25 percent of Canadian channels must be in French.
The requirements are leaving both companies with questions:
"We have to ensure this does not diminish the American listening experience," Parsons said. "We have to have a set of channels and programming that is highly attractive to the U.S. market."
Parsons made his comments after speaking with journalists at the Automotive Press Association lunch in Detroit on Tuesday, June 21.
Both XM and Sirius put stakes in the game before the commission approved their applications.
XM is partnered with newly created and independently owned Canadian Satellite Radio, but it has not exercised its option to buy as much as 30 percent of the company.
Canadian Satellite Radio has not begun service and has no subscribers.
Sirius owns 20 percent of Sirius Canada Inc. The rest of the ownership is split between the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and Standard Broadcasting Inc.
General Motors is XM's biggest customer in North America.
Sirius supplies satellite radio for Ford Motor Co.
GM and Ford's Canadian subsidiaries said they are ready to start selling vehicles equipped with satellite radio.
"We are very eager to get this into our 2006 models," said GM Canada spokeswoman Pam McLaughlin. GM had expected approval this spring, McLaughlin said. The company had hoped to begin offering XM on the same models available in the United States in the 2006 model year. Now the uncertainty caused by the government's requirements may initially limit GM's ability to offer a wider choice of vehicles equipped with satellite radio.
"There are still some gray areas here," McLaughlin said. "But our country is bilingual, so we understand it is important that Canadian and French-Canadian is represented."
About 1.5 million new cars and light trucks are sold in Canada annually.

Meet Taofeek Abijako: The 20-Year-Old Nigerian Designer Behind Head of State+
At 20-years-old, Taofeek Abijako landed on Forbes 30 Under 30 list for his notable fashion line, Head of State+. He not only started his brand in high school, but was painting Vans for funding before he was recruited by a Japanese retailer, United Arrows. His brand is unique while also sharing a powerful message of Nigerian history. As a result of entwining these elements, Taofeek has taken the fashion industry by force, being a designer to watch during Men's New York Fashion Week and a feature in The New York Times.
Abijako immigrated from Lagos, Nigeria with his family only two years before launching his first collection in 2016. His father was an independent fashion designer, and while Taofeek wasn't allowed to touch any of his father's machinery, he explored his father's sketches extensively. It was during his time at Albany High School that Abijako began to fully harness his designing abilities. To raise funds for his first collection, he sold hand-painted Vans with unique designs for around $200. Hunger Games actress Amandla Stenberg caught a glimpse of his designs and shared them on her social media. The profits from his custom Vans helped fund Abijako's first collection for Head of State+.
Abijako launched his collection on Twitter and was scouted by a Japanese company who decided to invest in his talent. While his collection became a great success and his continued success is still booming, Abijako shared his view of the collection with CFDA, "I approach Head of State+ as less of a brand and more of a case study. It's me digging into my cultural upbringing while trying to have a firm grasp and understanding of it."
Head of State+ portrays Abijako's interpretation of luxe men's streetwear and was started when he was only 17-years-old. While his collection is based in New York, Abijako wanted to reflect on his time in Nigeria. He even named his company after the title of a song by Fela Kuti, the late Nigerian political activist and creator of Afrobeat music. Nigeria's independence, as told by Abijako, came with a new life and monumental music was inspired by the newfound freedom. Post-Biafran War, the music granted important messages of rebellion and resilience, like that of Fela Kuti.
Even with Abijako's rising popularity, his philosophy remains the same with Head of State+. He describes the brand as filled with "thoughtful, inconspicuous and honest designs." Head of State+ features a streetwear exterior look, while combining social and political commentary in the nooks of fabric. "I've never felt so good about something," Abijako stated of his brand. Head of State+ features sweatshirts with hood laces in various colors, cropped pants, and T-shirts showcasing the brand's name. Abijako's brand also includes wide-neck sweatshirts, half-zips, jeans, and basics.
The fashion industry has already taken notice of Taofeek Abijako. So much is clear with being named a designer to watch during Men's New York Fashion Week and now making the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Abijako explained his intent on affecting the fashion industry to CFDA, "I hope to contribute to the encouragement of fruitful dialogues regarding social, political or cultural matters. Designers are not doctors or fire fighters who save lives, although we are and can be conversation starters. The design gives us the privilege and luxury to highlight and raise awareness on any topic."
Abijako also garnered inspiration from Youth FX, an Albany-based program that empowers teenagers in underserved communities to learn more about the arts. In addition to empowering others culturally, Abijako's journey also serves as a guide to future designers to challenge the fashion hierarchy and go for it.
There is something to be said about a young designer starting out on a successful path but sticking to foundational ideas that expand into powerful messages. With the next generation, Abijako's influential messages and streetwear style has the opportunity for larger than life influence. There is no doubt that the young designer's creativity and professional energy will aid in the expansion of Head of State+, both as a cultural form and a prominent name in the fashion industry's surge of streetwear.

Worship (Gaither Music Group/Servant Records) was produced by Lindell Cooley and features Guy's unmistakable, rasp-tinged vocals as he brings to life new renditions of both classic and contemporary worship songs like "Shout to the Lord," "Revelation Song," "Victory in Jesus," "You Never Let Go," "10,000 Reasons" and more.
"I wanted to record an album that, like my previous Hymns recording, contains familiar songs," describes Penrod. "I put the songs in keys that most everyone can sing along with, especially the men, and arranged them with a simplicity that allows everybody to easily join in. I have a real heart to see men enter into worship because I believe as they worship their families will worship also. I am excited to travel across the country (and internationally) and perform these songs as audiences sing along."

Green IT, according to the author and editor-in-chief of IEEE IT Professional magazine, San Murugesan, is defined as:
designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems – such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems – efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment.
It is the use of technological devices effectively and in a way so as not to harm our natural resources. Green IT is also known as green computing.
Exercising the green mantra has become an extremely important task in today's world, with the sales of computers, laptops, and mobile phones increasing exponentially and nothing to regulate them. Technology develops at an amazing speed and each day there are new devices that hit the market, making the previous versions obsolete. This leads to the collection of technological waste and a huge amount of useless junk. This once-useful trash, if not recycled and reused, may choke nature's life processes. Thus, the earnest contribution of each individual is required in order to build an environment that is not dying a slow death due to our selfish actions. Every business enterprise, no matter how small or big, can take steps to transform itself into an environmentally-friendly organization.
Some steps that businesses can take in order to make their work sustainable and help improve the balance in nature are listed below:
1. Use less paper
Reduce the amount of waste paper by using effective printers that reduce weight. The total paper used for office tasks can be easily reduced to half if the printer has the option to print both sides automatically. Packaging should be done with material that is biodegradable and easy to recycle.
2. Use less energy
Better power management tools reduce consumption and make energy conservation possible. You should use equipment and devices that require less power for functioning.
3. Work remotely
Companies should make use of web conferencing or teleconferencing instead of wasting huge sums of money on travel. Several reports have inferred that every year, companies could save millions of dollars on travel, not to mention precious time and other resources, if they switch to web conferencing. Not only will they be more in step with technology, but it can also be greener.
Telecommunication, which refers to employees interacting with each other through telecommuting from different locations, could also save the resources wasted on travel and save huge amounts of money each year.
4. Use the cloud
The emergence of cloud computing has proved to be a boon in innumerable ways in today's business world. Many companies and organizations are considering outsourcing certain departments to cloud hosting providers. This results in a better use of available resources when compared to businesses accommodating varied departments that work individually with no effective or sustainable model.
It's high time now that every individual moves toward a greener environment. When are you planning that big move?

Don't give up on me yet, but, dental floss
Hey, alright, so I have this friend. For secrecy, let's call her Mizzy… or Limmy… or maybe Lizz-m [1]. Anyway, through her job, Lizz-m had some insider, non-public, top-secret, HIGHLY classified information [2] that she shared with me and that I am going to share with you. Today I am ready to tell you that Reach Total Care is better than whatever sad inferior dental floss you have wasting your life with… even if that dental floss was Reach Total Care[3]!
If you are the type of person best persuaded by research and numbers then feast your eyes on this research and numbers. Or don't click because I'll just tell you what is behind the link. It is a study finding that Reach Total Care's predecessor[4] "removed significantly more interproximal plaque than all comparators". This wasn't just your usual tiny sample size with a barely legitimate "statistically significant difference" that you probably won't notice yourself. Instead we are talking a small sample size [5] and findings of about 2x the plaque removal compared to shown competitors [6].
On the other hand, if you are distrustful of studies (good job) but willing to trust the anecdotal opinions of a yell-y stranger on the internet (oops), then let me tell you more about what makes excellent dental floss.
What dental floss should do:
Remove plaque and keep your teeth healthy
Reduce/eliminate one way that your breath can smell
Make your gums bleed if you haven't been taking care of them (not my fault, that is how life works)
Feel generally pleasant when you use it
What dental floss should not do:
Give you an excuse not to floss
Reach Total Care empirically excels at removing plaque. Instead of stranded, waxed string, Reach Total care is a micro-filament with tiny flexible grooves intended to increase surface area and abrasion when pulling between your teeth. However, the grooves are flexible so it doesn't feel rough when you use it and shouldn't be anywhere close to hard enough to affect the enamel of your teeth. In fact, abrasion may be the wrong word. The grooves do more grabbing on to foreign particles and pulling them away from the tooth as opposed to abrading the tooth.
That may be too much detail. The point is that the floss generally feels nice to use AND it works well according to my experience and industry studies researched by said friend lizz-m. After creating this flexible groove fancy-ness and naming it Reach Ultra Care, the company refined it, and made it feel nicer while maintaining the effectiveness to create Total Care. They even offer a whitening version for those poor souls who are concerned about the appearance of the enamel between their teeth. The balance of filament-y while avoiding going too far towards waxy or stringy just feels nice to me. I convince myself that I can feel those magic micro-grooves pulling away any detritus (great word) they encounter and leaving behind pristine enamel.
I'll admit that this floss is not indestructible. I wouldn't use it to move furniture. It can snap if you really try, and that is a fail. Maybe Reach Ultra Total Care 6x will fix that. Also, any floss can make unhealthy gums bleed, so see your dentist but don't use that as an excuse. If I floss regularly then my gums do a good job of keeping blood inside my body where it belongs. But this floss definitely does NOT give me an excuse not to floss.
The point is that I just like it. I like my dental floss. So shouldn't you try it [7]?
Her name is Lizzy ↩
It was actually none of those things, but she did do a lot of research and she was also 100% right ↩
Good luck figuring that one out ↩
Reach Ultra Clean ↩
I'm joking a bit here. Actually N = 140 isn't terrible for a study like this from my experience (which is basically none). Sorry for so many footnotes, why are you still clicking these? ↩
I'm assuming they didn't just hide excellent results from other competitors. No need to go nuts on digging into this article, it was authored by people who work at Johnson & Johnson so I wouldn't bet your life on their results anyway… or really the results of any study… or just don't bet your life in general ↩
Just be careful buying it on Amazon. Some sellers jack up the price because of high demand (its great floss!). You may be better off buying in a physical building somewhere ↩
