Every year we go on the Pure Vida retreat, we meet amazingly talented individuals from around the globe. 2013 was the year we met rock star editor, Karen Schneider, who shared her Pure Vida Retreat experience with the New York Times. Check it out!
A Warrior Learns a Different Pose
It's important to understand that my husband, Peter, refuses to take baths. He does shower, yes, but he finds baths unmanly, just like soccer — or any other sport that does not require players to crash into one another like angry apes and beat their chests.
For years he coached our son, Cade, in football, shouting at his boys to "Hit them low, take them down." He watches soccer only because our daughter, Raye, plays. She has what her coaches call "grit." This makes Peter proud.
Before every game we remind her about excessive body play.
"Keep your arms in," Peter warns as I nod approvingly. Then he whispers, "Go kick some butt." He holds up his palm. She throws a punch, good and hard, thumb out so it doesn't break, just as he taught her. Then they beat their chests and grunt.
So my expectations were low when, on a cold Minneapolis day last winter, I dialed Peter's number at his office to make an unusual request.
"Hey," I said. "What's up?"
"Nothing. Just working."
"O.K. I just called to say hi."
"Hi," I said. "So do you feel like going to Costa Rica on a yoga retreat?"
And I held my breath.
I felt as if I had been holding my breath for more than 20 years, since I got my first job in New York and soon after learned that, at 56, my mother had Alzheimer's disease. I moved back home to help care for her and began telecommuting from Minneapolis.
Next, I met and married Peter. Then came Peter's alcoholism. And two infants. And my father's cancer. And tensing up every time the phone rang.
After two decades of illness and death, of car pool lanes and hockey rinks, of figuring out dinner and what to do while my taciturn husband learned how to live without a drink, after giving up running because it hurt my knees and sugar because it made me sick and traveling because it made me insane trying to convince myself I would not die while away, here I was again, holding my breath.
"Do I want to go on a yoga retreat?" he repeated. "Not really. But I'll go if it's important to you."
So we went, neophytes both, because we had become strangers in marriage, because our therapist told us we needed to say "yes" to life more, and because on the cusp of turning 50, I needed to remember how to breathe.
On our first night, our group gathered for a ceremony that involved sitting cross-legged on cushions and holding stones in our hands. Our teachers lit candles and told us to close our eyes.
I peeked at Peter. I was supposed to be envisioning the blue in my body, but instead I was thinking: "Please don't let them ask us to join hands. Or chant."
The next day Peter did his first downward dog. There were cats and cows and instructions on breathing: "In through the nose, out through the nose."
Later we took a group surfing lesson. I was dreading it. I am terrified of sharks and scared of waves. But I wanted to say yes to life, so I found myself lying on a rental board on the beach that scratched my arms with an instructor named Ricardo telling us to "pop up."
Twenty minutes later, we walked into the water. "Remember to shuffle," Ricardo told us. "To avoid the stingrays."
One by one Ricardo brought the others into the ocean — shuffling, shuffling. One by one they popped up, wiped out and disappeared before reappearing and heading back to shore.
Then it was my turn. Ricardo held my board. My heart raced. "Relax your shoulders," he said. Like everyone else, he told me to breathe. "Trust me," he said as he let me go. "You're not going to die out here."

The "natives" are restless.
Native advertising is one of the biggest trends on Madison Avenue, but some in the business believe it's time to retire the buzzword.
"It's a word I hate," Mashable's chief revenue officer, Seth Rogin, said during an Advertising Week panel on Tuesday. "Native sounds deceptive, even if it isn't."
Andy Wiedlin, Buzzfeed's chief revenue officer, agreed: "I'm with you on the jihad, Seth."
Native advertising refers to stories and other content sponsored by advertisers that blends into the surrounding editorial.
Speaking of changes in the ad business, other panelists at the gathering of media and ad executives said the move to mobile devices spells the end of Web banner ads.
"Banners are dead," said Michele Tobin, Rovio's vice president of global ads, adding that the "Angry Birds" maker hasn't carried banners on its last few releases.
Instead, Rovio is integrating marketers into games. For instance, insurer State Farm makes it possible for players to "power up" and continue the gaming action.
"We're no longer doing banners on mobile," said Yahoo!'s Ned Brody, who touted the firm's cross-platform ad offering, called Gemini.

In Boats and stream based problems,we need to calculate either speed or time to reach some point either upstream or downstream.
In water, the direction of the flow is downstream and opposite direction is upstream.
The speed of a boat in still water is u and speed of the stream is v then:
Speed upstream:u-v
speed downstream:u+v
If speed upstream is a and speed downstream is b then:
speed in still water is (a+b)/2
the rate of flow of the stream is (a-b)/2
Rivers Boats and streams
To find the rate of the stream, a man sails in a boat from location A to B at a speed of 12kmph and from B to A at a speed of 6kmph, find the rate of stream and speed of the boat in still water.
speed in still water=(a+b)/2 =(12+6)/2=9
rate of flow of stream=(a-b)/2=(12-6)/2=3
Rivers Boats and stream
A man wants to reach from point A to B(distance b/w them is 6 km), he has two options to reach the destination the first one is to sail in the river and the second one is cycling.
A local person said that stream flow is 12kmph(A-B direction).If he uses a bicycle he can reach B at 12kmph.find the best suitable option for him.
If he sits in a boat it sails at 12kmph without any work and if he uses bicycle he can go at 12kmph but he has to work a lot hence boat could be the best possible option.

New drugs that block highly specific parts of the immune system are showing remarkable promise in treating two maddening skin diseases, eczema and psoriasis, according to papers published Wednesday in a leading medical journal.
In four small studies, an experimental drug being developed by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals brought about a marked and rapid improvement in symptoms of eczema, including the telltale incessant itching, the researchers reported. Separately, the companies announced results of still another trial Wednesday that showed similar success, although those results have not been reviewed by outside experts.
While larger studies are still needed, experts said the results were important because there are no approved treatments that work well in patients with moderate or severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis.
"What is exciting is there is now the hope of a therapy that so far looks very efficacious and so far looks quite safe, very safe in fact," said Dr. Lisa A. Beck, a professor of dermatology at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
Dr. Beck, who is a paid consultant to the two companies, was the lead author of the paper on the drug, dupilumab, that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
For psoriasis, a drug being developed by Novartis proved to be highly effective in late-stage clinical trials in clearing the skin of the characteristic patchy red plaques, according to another paper also published in the medical journal.
Many effective therapies are already on the market for psoriasis, however, and Dr. Mark Lebwohl, chairman of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and an author of the paper, said the Novartis drug, secukinumab, might be better than the other drugs, but "only a little better."
Atopic dermatitis affects perhaps as much as 20 percent of the population, about a fifth of whom have moderate to severe cases of the disease, according to Dr. Beck's paper. Regeneron estimates about one million adults in the United States may be in that category.
While topical treatments are available, they do not work well for more severe cases, doctors say.
Those patients can use systemic steroids or other immune suppressants like cyclosporine. But they are not officially approved for the condition and although they work well, they can have severe side effects that limit how long they can be used. Among other things, immune suppression increases susceptibility to infections, and people with atopic dermatitis already suffer from recurrent skin infections.
Some experts said that while dupilumab might not be more effective than general immune suppressants, it has a more specific mode of action, inhibiting only two immune system proteins — interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 — that contribute to the disease. That could make it safer.
"This is a fantastic advance for millions of people," said Dr. Richard Gallo, chief of the division of dermatology at the University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the studies reported in the new paper.
In one of the trials, that lasted 12 weeks and involved 109 adults with moderate or severe atopic dermatitis, 85 percent of those who got weekly injections of dupilumab had a 50 percent reduction in a score measuring disease severity, compared with 35 percent who received weekly injections of a placebo.
About 40 percent of those who used the drug had a complete or near-complete clearance of skin lesions compared with only 7 percent of those in the placebo group. The drug also did better than a placebo in reducing itching.
The people who got the drug had fewer skin infections than those in the control group. The main side effects of the drug were headaches and cold symptoms like runny noses.
Kathleen Cronin, a mechanical engineer from Rochester, said that two years ago her eczema had become so severe that she had red skin all over her body, open wounds that would not heal, bacterial infections and fatigue. "It's just pulling you to scratch until you have an open wound and the blood is flowing," she said.
After Ms. Cronin, 52, entered the trial for dupilumab, her condition got even worse. But she now thinks she was getting the placebo. Three weeks ago she began taking the actual drug in an extension of the trial.
"I've had three shots now and it's been literally a miracle," she said. Her skin is no longer red and she doesn't itch, allowing her to sleep better.
In their separate announcement Wednesday, Sanofi and Regeneron said they had completed a larger Phase 2 study involving 380 patients, with the drug showing similar effectiveness as in the smaller study. The companies will now begin Phase 3 testing aimed at obtaining approval for the drug for use by adults. Eventually they hope to test it for children as well. Dupilumab has also shown some promise in treating asthma.
Dupilumab could be the first biologic — a drug produced in living cells — to reach the market for atopic dermatitis. But other companies like Johnson & Johnson and Chugai Pharmaceutical are testing biologics that work through different mechanisms, according to the National Eczema Association.
By contrast, several biologics are already available to treat psoriasis, including Amgen's Enbrel, AbbVie's Humira and Johnson & Johnson's Remicade and Stelara.
The two clinical trials for psoriasis sponsored by Novartis involved more than 2,000 patients. One measure of success was how many patients achieved a 75 percent reduction in disease severity after 12 weeks.
From 67 to 82 percent of patients who took Novartis's secukinumab achieved that goal, far better than the 5 percent who received a placebo and the 44 percent for those who used Enbrel. More than half the patients who got secukinumab had completely or nearly completely clear skin after 12 weeks. Secukinumab inhibits an immune system protein called interleukin-17A.
"This is a very small part of the immune system that is hit and it appears from the results that it is the part of the immune system you have to hit to get rid of psoriasis," said Dr. Lebwohl, who has been a paid consultant to Novartis.
Novartis has already applied for regulatory approval. Eli Lilly and the team of Amgen and AstraZeneca are in late-stage testing of their own drugs that work by blocking the action of interleukin-17A.

With one of my 2013 goals being to go to as many educational opportunities I could, when I heard there was a Learn-By-Doing in Phoenix, it was a no brainer that it would be my first stop on my continuing education tour. My childhood best friend moved to the Phoenix area a few years back and it served as a good opportunity to catch up with him and get some learning in as well (also adding no need to spend on a hotel room either haha). Plus the line up was stacked.
I'm going to start a little series throughout the year where I summarize and give some thoughts on the events and seminars I attend. This line-up of presenters was definitely a good one and didn't disappoint. Here is the breakdown of them and their topics.
Lee Burton – Functional Movement Screen Myths Exposed : What You Should Really Know
I had seen Lee in Long Beach at the Functional Training Summit and saw him a little more closely and in depth at the Functional Movement Screen Workshop and Certification a few months later.
With Lee Burton and Gray Cook (the founders and developers of the Functional Movement Screen) you always seem to learn something new or have an "Ah I get it now" moment that you didn't have before. This time was no different. Seeing him present with a now thorough understanding of the FMS that I didn't have either time before really helped things sink in.
His presentation focused upon how with the FMS gaining more and more popularity also comes more and more people misunderstanding and at times completely butchering what it is actually about. He reinforced facts about how the "goal score" of the FMS is a 14 (with symmetrical 2's and no asymmetries) and not a 21.
He also emphasized how the FMS isn't simply about "what corrective exercises do I need?" but more about what one actually needs to avoid doing that could be making them deficient in the movement pattern in the first place, whether it be lifestyle or something being done in the gym. My main point that resonated with me was that the FMS is about improving performance in the grand scheme and its goal is ideally to eliminate the need for corrective exercise as much as possible.
His hands-on portion focused on the Y-Balance Test and the mobility tests of the FMS including an ankle mobility screen.
Mike Boyle – Functional Coaching
I originally saw Mike at the Providence Functional Training Summit and regularly interact on his StrengthCoach.com forum and one thing about him is that he is one of the best teachers in the industry. He has this simple, direct and to the point way of explaining things that pretty much anyone can understand.
For those not familiar with Mike Boyle, he is widely known for (and not of his own doing) for the boom of functional training. He is a well-known for almost exclusively advocating single leg lower body exercises over bilateral and he makes a very valid case for it. He is also an outspoken advocate for true "functional training" (not what its become butchered as) and against Crossfit as one of the things wrong with the industry.
"Functional Training" has gotten a bad rap in the recent years as the new buzzword with everything from a Squat to a Turkish Get Up to a One Eye Closed Standing on One Leg on a Bosu Ball Overhead Press seemingly falling into the umbrella.
His hands-on component focused on teaching and coaching single leg hip dominant exercises such as bridges and deadlifts.
The single leg deadlift, I've found is one of the harder exercises to teach and coach and his hands-on was an extremely helpful insight to how to make that smoother and easier.
Some of his lecture take home points…
– "Functional" changes with each person and what is functional for your high school athletes isn't necessarily the same for your middle-aged female fat loss client.
– Not all function is good function. Function causes dysfunction. Good function is good.
– He showed a video of a couple of his female athletes doing a single leg squat variation and asked what plane it was in. The assumed answer was sagittal plane but realistically there are major muscles doing major stabilizing in the frontal and transverse plane as well and for the vast majority of athletes, that is completely functional.
– "To me, Crossfit is like a frat. You pay people a lot of money to do a bunch of stupid shit and then throw up at the end."
He made it a point that functional training leaves people moving better and most importantly feeling better. He gave an example of how 9 times out of 10 when a client comes to him and says "their knee hurts, what do they have," the answer is "a wicked case of weakness" or poor training/programming.
Getting people stronger, moving better and feeling better should be the goal of "functional training" and that doesn't come from random one leg bosu exercises or running 400m in between high rep snatches sets.
Todd Durkin – The 10-Day IMPACT Solution
Todd Durkin is one of those guys who when he enters the room, absolutely everyone knows he is there. Not in that annoying and obnoxious way, but in the way that he emits so much energy to everyone in the room, you can't help but get sucked in.
I saw him in Providence but only went to his lecture then. Seeing him in his hands-on component this time around is a completely different aspect. His presentation was on his 10-Day IMPACT Solution which is a fat loss promotion he runs at his facility to get new clients in the door and spark a fire in his current clients. It is definitely something I am contemplating incorporating at Twoguns Training Systems. He is a great motivator and finished asking, "What are you doing to do this year that sets you apart from your competition and from yourself last year?"
When it came time to start the hands-on portion of the day, my group didn't start with him and seeing a couple groups go to his before we did definitely made everyone look forward to his. He took us through a variation of his group training sessions and there is definitely no slacking at all from anyone. It was a fairly simple combination of three circuits (lower body, upper body and movement drills) but the energy he gets out of everyone was crazy and he got everyone moving and moving hard.

Alwyn Cosgrove – Training the Executive Athlete
Alwyn is one of the, if not the leading fat loss expert in the industry as well as the owner of one of the most successful training facilities in the country. His topic was on a new market in the personal training industry, the executive athlete.
In the past there was been two main markets, the athlete and the fat loss client. But recent trends like mud runs, tough mudders etc that now give the former athlete or the fitness enthusiast something to compete in and work toward has yielded a new breed of client.
I had been thinking about this new type of client for a while and the "success" of things like Crossfit serve as proof that this new type of client exists and need a proper training program (which they don't get from Crossfit) to safely succeed in their goals. Alwyn detailed special considerations for this specific population and how they differ from other markets of clients and did a great job of doing so even though he was under the weather.
Since he was under the weather and didn't want to get people sick in his hands on, one of his coaches and program designer, Mike Wunsch as well as sandbag training expert Josh Henkin ran the hands-on session. Alwyn noted the sandbag and "asymmetric and alive" training as part of the future due to its constant instability and constant demand on the core.
The session went through their RAMP warm up protocol, a couple of interesting core progressions and then different ways to load and increase the difficulty of training with the sandbag without having to increase the weight of the sandbag itself. It left me with some good ideas to immediately implement as well as a pair of sore glutes to sit on a plane on the way home. Twoguns Training Systems clients got to feel some lateral lunge progressions with the sandbag too when I got back so I could share the fun.
The Phoenix One-Day Learn By Doing was a great kick off the 2013 learning season and definitely left me excited for the upcoming Perform Better Functional Training Summits over the summer.

If mice could roar
And elephants soar
And trees grow up in the sky;
If tigers could dine
On biscuits and wine,
And the fattest of men could fly!
If pebbles could sing
And bells never ring
And teachers were lost in the post;
If a tortoise could run
And losses be won,
And bullies be buttered on toast;
If a song brought a shower,
And a gun grew a flower,
This world would be nicer than most!
This is one of my most favorite poems and I couldn't help remembering it this weekend. The week that just passed had been awful. The week began with killings of black men by white police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota and ended with killing of white police officers by snipers who were black men, right here at home in Dallas! If everyone doesn't reevaluate his or her own biases and learn what they can do to reduce hatred, intolerance and xenophobia in our communities, events like these have the potential to lead to even worse events.
I insist that guns should not be so freely accessible. Mice are not going to roar. Elephants are not going to soar. Tigers are not going to dine on biscuits and wine. Guns don't grow flowers. How much ever I share Ruskin Bond's wish in his beautiful verse!

Oreshkin: Bitkoin's Fall Resembled "Soap Bubble"
The world's most renowned cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has "deflated like a soap bubble" but boosted investments in new technologies, Russian Economic Development Minister Maksim Oreshkin said Wednesday, according to CCN.
'You may recall what I said, for example, last year, when Bitcoin's price jumped up to $20,000, and now it is lower than $4,000, we said very simple things. Bitcoin itself is a soap bubble, it deflated, that is what happened… Unfortunately, many people were affected, but again, in terms of new technologies, new businesses, it gave a positive impetus," Oreshkin said in an interview with RBC on the sidelines of the investment forum "Russia Calling", organized by VTB Capital.
While a number of prominent voices have advocated blockchain adoption in Russia for reasons as varied as using a gold-linked cryptocurrency to protect its arms export industry to adopting DLT to eliminate customer abuse in the pension fund industry, this still remains far from happening.
The Russian state's interest in Bitcoin has thus far been largely restricted to facilitating foreign missions in need of hard-to-trace cash.
In March, three draft bills aimed at correcting the regulatory gap were submitted to reading in Russia's parliament, although the proposed laws included a clause that stipulated that Russia does not recognize digital financial assets as legal tender in the country. Despite this, it has been reported in the past that the country is examining the possibility of skirting U.S.-imposed sanctions using cryptocurrency as a primary solution.

Two Arab-Israelis Arrested for Joining Islamic State
Two Arab-Israelis have been arrested and charged with terrorist training and conspiracy to commit murder on behalf of the Islamic State terror group, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said on Wednesday.
The two, identified as 22-year-old medical student Amin Yassin and 28-year-old Ali al-Aroush, both from the Arab-Israeli city of Tamra, had previously been arrested on suspicion of committing IS-related security offenses.
They were re-arrested in July in a joint operation by the Shin Bet and Israel Police.
The indictment, filed Wednesday, found that the two "see themselves as envoys, until the establishment of an Islamic State in Israel," the Shin Bet said in a statement.
The pair were found to have downloaded "substantial" material connected with the terror group, including instructions on weaponry and how to carry out terrorist attacks "at a suitable time for the benefit of Jihad," the statement said.
"The Shin Bet will continue to work with the police to expose suspects operating for the Islamic State terrorist organization," the agency stated, "and will take the necessary enforcement measures to prevent any activity that is detrimental to state security, including the dissemination of the Islamic State terrorist-organization material in Israel."
While Israel does not have an Islamic State presence within its borders, there have been several arrests of Arab Israelis suspected of links to the terror group. There have also been several dozen Arab Israelis who have crossed the border into neighboring Syria with plans to join the group.
Earlier this month, an Arab-Israeli who joined the Islamic State in Syria but was captured by Assad forces begged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to allow him to return to Israel, saying he promised to be "a better, more serious human being."
Sayyaf Sharif Daoud also said that Israel was a democratic country and, unlike the Assad regime, did not rape and kill its own citizens.
"Us Arabs live together in Israel with the Jews. There is no injustice. We are treated just like the Jews," Daoud said.
YouTube shuts down more than 200 channels posting about Hong Kong protests
Google announced Thursday that it had disabled 210 YouTube channels that were uploading videos "in a coordinated manner" about the ongoing protests in Hong Kong. It says the channels appeared to be part of a coordinated influence campaign against the pro-democracy protests.
The action came as Twitter and Facebook accused the Chinese government of backing a social media campaign to discredit Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement and sow political discord in the city.
Google-owned service said in a blog post it discovered channels "behaved in a coordinated manner against pro-democracy protests".
"We disabled 210 channels on YouTube when we discovered channels in this network behaved in a coordinated manner while uploading videos related to the ongoing protests in Hong Kong," Shane Huntley of Google's security threat analysis group said in a blog post.
"This discovery of the 210 YouTube channels was consistent with recent observations and actions related to China announced by Facebook and Twitter."
Biblical Site Where Jesus Performed a Miracle Reportedly Uncovered Near Sea of Galilee
Archaeologists working on a dig site on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee claim that they have discovered the ruins of the legendary settlement of Bethsaida, which is mentioned in the Gospels as the place where Jesus Christ healed a blind man.
According to Christianity Today, excavations started back in 2016 under the supervision of Professor Mordechai Aviam from the Kinneret College, with a small budget and an equally small team.
Operating under the assumption that a settlement existed at el Araj for over a thousand years spanning the Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and Crusader periods, the dig team first discovered the remains of a Crusader sugar factory "that had mostly reused still-standing Byzantine walls" at the site, later unearthing a Byzantine monastery accompanied by a church.
The two probes dug by the team below the Byzantine floors yielded Roman pottery and a considerable number of coins but no Byzantine objects; the team also found a layer of silt they later traced to the Jordan River.
As the media outlet points out, the researchers now hope to learn more about Bethsaida in order to expand their knowledge about the settlement's place in the Bible.
News of the development comes after archaeologists announced the discovery of the fabled Church of the Apostles which, according to Christian tradition, was built over the home of Peter and Andrew, the disciples of Jesus Christ, in Bethsaida.

As part of my research I have created a table in Word with thirty two pages of artists who are women, 770 women in total, who are significant artists for their time and for today. None of them are living artists. With profound thanks to Christa Zaart who manages the the following facebook page, I receive daily posts on women from all over the world and all genres of art:
Female Artists in History. https://www.facebook.com/female.artists.in.history/
This site is Eurocentric so I have listed mainly western artists, with only a few indigenous, Asian, South American, Pacific Islander or any other cultures but I am adding them when I can, and currently adding our Australian indigenous artists.
I am kept fully occupied listing the artists from this site, but thousands more will be added as I branch out to other sources. This might not sound a big deal until you realise that I am sorting the information on each artist into First name, Surname, Dates, Country, Practice (more than one column) Era/school and Genre (more than one column.)
Advice from anyone who has first hand experience with converting information from a large table to excel or to a database would be most welcome.
I decided to do this when I discovered that I had no way of identifying, as a group, landscape artists who are women, or women in any other genre of art. This has been an ongoing project for a few years but is becoming unwieldy as it takes some work to check whether and artist has been listed more than once. Hopefully it will soon become a searchable database, but in the meantime I keep slogging away at it.
It's Mothers' Day – Sunday morning and what am I doing? Writing a blog and adding to my data. 🙂

Brownsville Sports Park to get $550,000 face-lift
06/16/17 12:01 PM Filed in: News
BROWNSVILLE, Texas - The Brownsville Sports Park will soon get a $550,000 face-lift.
The Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation approved the project last week, nearly a month after the corporation announced plans to expand sports tourism in Brownsville. The first phase involves replacing the sports turf on the field.
BCIC Coordinator Josh Mejia says it's been long overdue.
"The condition now is definitely not good," Mejia said. "Not good in terms of athlete safety. It's been eight years since it's been installed."
The second phase includes replacing the scoreboard and moving it to a better spot on the field, because its current location poses a safety issue. The improvements will bring the sports park up to regulatory standards, making it possible for professional games to be hosted.
"We will be second to the H.E.B. Park in Edinburg that can host professional games at our fields," said Mejia.
Once the project is complete, the BCIC will make bids for sports tournaments to host. Research is currently underway to determine which sports are most appealing to the area.
"And I think soccer is embedded in our culture down here in Brownsville, so that's definitely the first one we are going to reach out to," said Mejia.
The first phase will be begin on July 10, and should only take a few weeks to complete.
BCIC members said they will also be looking to attract musical acts to the Brownsville Sports Park.

The Windows Phone Flickr app received a nice little bump this morning to version 1.1 with a few significant updates. Not bad for only two weeks of release.
First up is Pictures Hub integration, allowing near seamless mixing of Flickr and the default, but powerful Windows Phone picture management system--basically now you can direct upload from your photo selection without launching the app. Second is the always welcomed "better performance" update. We always tend to see this after the big "1.0" push, so nice to get it here (it really needed it). Finally the less exciting but crucial to Flickr "tags" are now supported for photo uploads.
You can grab the update here in the Marketplace; Thanks, @depper2k, for the heads up

Protestors clashed with police in Spain's capital yesterday (25 September) as the government prepared a new round of unpopular austerity measures for the 2013 budget.
Thousands gathered in Neptune plaza, a few meters from El Prado museum in central Madrid, where they formed a human chain around parliament, surrounded by barricades, police trucks and more than 1,500 police in riot gear.
Police fired rubber bullets and beat protestors with truncheons, first as protestors were trying to tear down barriers and later to clear the square. The police said at least 22 people had been arrested and at least 32 injured, including four policemen.
As lawmakers started to leave the parliament late Tuesday in official cars or by foot, a few hundred people were still demonstrating in front of the building. Most dispersed shortly afterwards.
The protest, promoted over the Internet by different activist groups, was younger and more rowdy than recent marches called by labour unions. Protestors said they were fed up with cuts to public salaries and health and education.
"My annual salary has dropped by €8,000 and if it falls much further I won't be able to make ends meet," said Luis Rodriguez, 36, a firefighter who joined the protest. He said he was considering leaving Spain to find a better quality of life.
Demonstrators also said they were angry that the state has poured funds into crumbling banks while it is cutting social benefits.
With this year's budget deficit target looking untenable, the conservative government is now looking at such things as cuts in inflation-linked pensions, taxes on stock transactions, "green taxes" on emissions or eliminating tax breaks.
The 2013 budget is the second conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has had to pass since he took office in December. Spain must persuade its European partners that it can cut the budget shortfall by more than €60 billion by 2014.
Rajoy has already passed spending cuts and tax hikes worth slightly more than that over the next two years, but half-year figures show the 2012 deficit target slipping from view as tax income forecasts will not be hit due to economic contraction.
He said earlier this month the 2013 budget would cut spending further in all areas of government apart from pensions and borrowing costs.
Spain is at the centre of the eurozone debt crisis on concerns the government cannot control its finances and those of highly indebted regions, bitten by a second recession since 2009 which has put one in four workers out of a job.
On the regional front, Catalonia, which generates about 20% of the national output, announced on Tuesday it would hold early elections on 25 November after its call for more tax autonomy was rejected last week by Rajoy.
Political uncertainty in cash-strapped Catalonia, along with an announcement from southern region Andalucia it might seek a €4.9 billion credit line from the central government, will pile more pressure on Madrid to seek European aid.
Rajoy is holding back from applying for help, which would activate a European Central Bank bond-buying programme and bring down Spain's punishing debt premiums.

lthough only in it's third year the North Carolina Museum of Arts (NCMA), Art in Bloom exhibit is sure to become a signatures annual fundraising event. The show, which ran from March 30 - April 2, featured over 50 pieces from the museum's permanent art collection paired with floral designers who use the artwork as inspiration to create a floral installation. I've never seen anything like this before! And who doesn't love flowers? It is the perfect Spring indoor activity for anyone who enjoys true beauty. As soon as I found out about this exhibit, I purchased tickets for both my husband and I. Just because we have both been so busy at work for the past two months and can totally use a date!
The show was amazing! I was blown away by all the floral designers' creativity and craftsmanship.The way they interpreted the artwork was so clever no matter whether it was narratively or abstractly. It was very inspiring. I was amazed by every single detail they addressed in their installations, and how they made the right choice regarding the types of flowers or plants that work for each piece of art. It was a feast for the eye with so many different kinds of exotic flowers. Most I had never seen before. The NCMA did an amazing job this year and I am happy that I got to witness this beautiful event!

Libera Me Fanfare For Freedom For Symphony Orchestra 2017
The genesis of this piece came as a result of the planning of the world premiere of my Violin Concerto at Carnegie Hall with maestra Amy Andersson. Amy asked me if I had an overture to open the program that was centered around the concerto, but unfortunately I didn't have one. Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man was programmed. I vowed to have one composed and ready as a concert opener for future performances.
Within a few weeks after the successful violin concerto premiere, I began work on a new fanfare. In consideration of Copland's ever so popular fanfare, I learned that his work was a wartime composition; we live in different times and a fanfare for liberation and freedom is more reflective of what our nation and the world needs today. Hence, Libera Me ("free me"), a Fanfare for Freedom was born.
This short piece has three sections, which are reflective of humankind's struggle for freedom. Part 1 touches upon the pain and agony of the captivity of the human spirit. Part 2 centers on the struggle to break free and gain freedom. In part 3, the human spirit has become free and in great celebration, and rises up in triumph to end the piece.

2x1: The Smile
An asset from Carrie's former life comes in from the cold. Meanwhile, Nick Brody finds out that Abu Nazir is not happy with his non-violent approach to affecting change in American foreign policy.
Datos sobre el episodio y opinión
The Smile is Homeland's season 2 opening act. We would like to talk about the most important events of the episode and how things from season 1 finale continue in the present.
In the first place, Carrie has overcome her huge personal crisis. If you can recall, our beloved character ended the first season with electroconvulsive therapy as it seemed to be the only way out for her. In the present, Carrie stays with her family in a calm enviroment. However, things suddenly change whtn a CIA agent shows up.
In the second place, Bordy (now a congressman) receives crucial information about Abu-Nazir. It seems that the well-known terrorist disagrees with the way Nick is handling things. Besides, Brody's security is compromised as Dana, his daughter, speaks about something she shouldn't even think.
Some extra information: Did you notice the internal struggle Brody is going through? The scene with the former sergeant burying the Quran made our blood ran cold. On the other hand, The Smile had a total of 1.73 million viewers in the United States and it was one of the season's lowest ratings.

Transmission Speech
Before Heaven and Earth separate
True nature completely bright.
Originally - nothing happening.
Spring comes, many flowers blooming.
- Zen Master Seung Sahn
I have been appreciating the smell of grass in the tent all weekend, so Soeng Hyang (Nature Smell) is a good name for me. When the Buddha gave transmission to Mahakashyapa he said, "I have the utmost profound exquisite teaching, a special transmission outside the dharma that I give to you, Mahakashyapa." I thought that that was wonderful until I started studying with Zen Master Seung Sahn. One day he said "You know, Buddha made a big mistake when he gave that kind of transmission." So I ask you, if you are the Buddha and you are holding up a flower, a stick, or anything, and your wonderful student who has been practicing for many many years looks at you and smiles, how would you give that student transmission?
Only don't know. I can't give you the answer.
I also have a short story. When we first moved to Cumberland, many people were worried because they were afraid we were some kind of bad cult. They were afraid of us. The local newspaper interviewed a neighbor down the street and asked what the people were like who moved in. The neighbor said, "I think they are OK. I only know one man, and he stopped to help me fix a flat tire." Then the neighbor observed, "They must leave their religion at home." So I hope that you all find your home - your true self - and leave your religion there. Thank you.

Frontal lobe
I just finished the book Accidental Genius by Mark Levy. He teaches you how to be creative, solve problems and process thoughts through free writing. I've tried this a few times now and it's surprising just how much comes out when you push past the "editor" in your brain. Sometimes it's nonsense and sometimes it's amazingly profound. Here's how an article in the magazine Fast Company explains it:
When you're getting creative, you relax your inhibitions.
Stanford professor Tina Seelig shows us why in her book InGenius: In one study, jazz musicians were asked to improvise while having their brains monitored via fMRI. Something harmonic happened: As the artists performed, the parts of the frontal lobe associated with judgment went quiet. This shows that while self-monitoring is often useful--you don't want to say everything that passes through your mind--it can get in the way of new ideas.
"Creative people have apparently mastered the art of turning off this part of their brains to let their ideas flow more smoothly, unleashing their imagination," she writes…
Remember there are times when it's good to turn off your frontal lobe!
Here's another shot of the streets in Baltimore - low shutter speed and some post production tweaks.

Microsoft will announce the details of its "next generation secure computing base" (NGSCB) at WinHEC this may. While the company has disclosed their plans to a number of partners, details are still thin in the media. However, there is enough information out there to make a number of people wary, including two well-respected cryptographers and engineers: Sun's Whitfield Diffie, and MIT's Ronald Rivest, who is also the founder of RSA Security. The EE Times has an interesting piece up presenting some of their comments from the RSA Conference. First, a reminder of what this is all about.
In Microsoft's NGSCB approach, users would have to consciously evoke a secure operating mode that would be turned off by default. New instructions in the CPU as well as changes in the memory controller would help carve out a protected space in main memory to load a small, secure operating system kernel.
The idea is that Palladium will turn the PC OS environment into an encrypted fortress of sorts, but its primary focus appears to be securing e-commerce in form of digital rights management. This will be accomplished through an elaborate system of encryption keys, keys which are not available to the end-user. Many are worried that this new kind of restriction could be exploited to eliminate fair use, and in a sense take over the computing experience by controlling it from the ground up.
The Microsoft approach ?lends itself to market domination, lock out, and not really owning your own computer. That's going to create a fight that dwarfs the debates of the 1990's,? said Diffie as part of a broad panel discussion on cryptography at the RSA Conference here Monday (April 14). ?To risk sloganeering, I say you need to hold the keys to your own computer,? added Diffie to strong applause for the audience of several hundred security specialists. [...] ?The right way to look at this is you are putting a virtual set-top box inside your PC. You are essentially renting out part of your PC to people you may not trust,? said Rivest in an interview after the panel.
In this view, digital media would essentially become something you don't own, because you lose any control over it. I must say that I have to agree with Mr. Rivest on these matters: there needs to be a public forum for discussion and clarification. NGSCB is clearly treading on public rights and legal issues, and discussion is needed as to whether or not it is appropriate for a commercial entity to be inventing ways to enforce copyright laws and the like, especially when that entity is a company with remarkable power. Furthermore, the way in which the technology works, and a consumer's ideal relationship to the technology in its consumable forms is something that should be decided by a larger body of industry representatives, including consumer advocates.

There are so many crazy good artists taking the course, including a few that are well known. Working alongside these artists, is as much an education as the class itself! The first assignment from bootcamp was to create a phone case featuring a cuckoo clock. Lilla also challenged us to use new and trend forward colors, which I really struggled with. I've included three different versions of the phone below. Let me know which is your favorite! I ended up submitting the crazy bright one for the final. I also was inspired to make the design into a real clock, which is now available in my Society6 shop at www.society6.com/shop/annewashere. It is also available on other products, including the iphone case.

From Heels To Laces: Plaid Coat And Booties/
It's March which means spring is near and that I will have survived my first Chicago winter! Although, I've been told that here in Chicago it could possibly still snow and be cold as late as April! Yes, you read that correctly, APRIL!
But since it's still technically winter, I'm sharing with you one of the best finds I have purchased this winter and that is a long, plaid trench coat. I purchased this coat from H&M for just $25! Which to me is a total win in my book. ((Pats self on back)) hehe
By the way, since it's the end of winter, this is the best time to catch winter items on sale. Most stores are clearing out their winter clothing and putting out their spring clothing. So go pick up those nice coats, jackets, and sweaters for next winter season.
I always like to know if you would slam (thumbs down) or jam (thumbs up) this look. Let me know in the comments below.
Whether heels or sneakers, or anything in between, there's JOY in every SOLE!
Love, peace, and sole!
What I'm Wearing:
H&M Long Plaid Coat (no longer available online)
Black Turtleneck (similar)
Distressed Jeans (similar)
Nine West Booties
Stay tuned for this look with laces...

In Antiquity, truffles were considered the food of the gods, with aphrodisiac powers used by ardent Jupiter. Roman recipe books suggested baking the tubers (their classification as fungi took place several centuries later) beneath the embers and eating them with honey.
It is well known that truffles have been used as food in Antiquity, by the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, who called them Hydnon (from which "idnology", the science of truffles), and the Romans, who gave truffles the names we use to this day.

It's going to be a wild and crazy year for property-tax appeals in southeast Texas thanks to the massive damage from Hurricane Harvey. If you're planning to appeal your assessed value, NOW is the time to start planning. The queue for tax hearings will likely be the longest in recent history, so make your appointment to appeal as soon as you can. While you have until May 31 to request an appeal, if you wait too long you may be pushed back into the fourth quarter before your appeal can be heard!
I received an e-mail from O'Connor & Associates, one of the largest tax-appeal consulting firms in the country - it contained a link to a web page they've posted that will give you some great ideas on how to start your planning process - I urge you to read it and take advantage of the good advice!

Great Basin National Park
Last July (2017) we made a boys trip to Great Basin National Park. Because of its remote location it gets much fewer visitors than most of the parks in the west. When you consider the drive from Salt Lake or Las Vegas and the other National Parks that you can go to instead the park gets much fewer visitors. I say this not to speak ill of the park but to set the scene.
We stayed in the Grey Cliffs Campground. This is the only place you can book ahead. There are some other amazing campgrounds in the park that operate on a first come basis. Wheeler Peak Campground and the two Lehman Campgrounds specifically. Driving out there with 3 boys and Grandpa we did not want to risk not getting a place. Funny thing we got the last place in that could be reserved but our camp area was empty. My theory is people reserve in Grey Cliffs to make sure they have a place but then go stay in the other campgrounds. I can see why Grey Cliffs is a very cool area but much more dry than the other areas, lots of sage brush and because of the elevation even that is drier than you would expect. The other campgrounds are much more alpine more trees and higher in elevation.
We spent 2 nights here but really only 1 full day in the park. In the morning we went to Lehman Caves. I would recommend booking your tour in advance. You can do so online, over the phone or in person. There are no entrance fees to enter the park but camping and cave tours do cost. The cave was amazing. Stalactites and stalagmites and other cool cave formations everywhere. The tour took an hour, there is a slightly longer one available as well. This is a must do if you come here.
For lunch we drove to 10,000′ and the parking lot near the Wheeler Peak Campground. Many trails start here. There is also picnic tables. We opted to hike to Rock Glacier and take the slight diversion through the Bristle Cone Grove. Both are a must.
The hike to the glacier round trip should be a little over 5 miles. That being said 5 miles at 10,000′ feet with 3 kids is different. I didn't know what to expect but knowing them i packed treats to get them to the snow. 2 miles in the boys started losing their minds as kids do. The hike seemed to be going nowhere and there was no snow in sight. After bribing them with treats and the promise of ice cream in the sleepy town of Baker, NV after the hike we made it to the Bristle Cone Grove. the trail at this point is large chunks of granite gravel. But for whatever reason this is also where the boys minds were changed and the hike was fun. We could see snow and they thought that being around trees that were upwards of 3,000 years old was very cool. We hiked through the grove coming and going from the glacier it does not add much to the length of the trail but should be done at least once, I looked at the other trail it is straight shot so probably faster but you miss all the views and the trees. The Bristle Cone Grove is on a ridge and provides tremendous views.
From the Grove the glacier is not very far. When we made it to the snow that was a few hundred feet from the Glacier my kids were immediatly energized. Snow was flying in all directions I took some direct hits as well as some collateral damage. It was so much fun. My dad and one of the boys decided to hike to the actual glacier and I stayed with the other 2 boys and made a snowman. While there are other hikes in the area including to the top of Wheeler Peak which is over 13,000 I would highly recommend making this hike part of your trip because of the snow, geology and history.
Promised ice cream in Baker…. Baker, NV is small it is not your typical town near a National Park. There was a general story place that did have some ice cream, thank goodness. But there is really nothing to do here.
All in all the trip was amazing. For people who have never been to this part of the country I might suggest skipping Great Basin for some its more famous friends Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon or Death Valley National Parks. But if you are in the area or driving through it is worth a stop and doable in a day or even a half day.
The other thing worth noting is because of the location Astronomy is a big thing in the area. The park does offer Astronomy Programs the one that was going while we were there was cancelled due to a quick rain shower. By 11 that night though the sky was clear and the Milky Way was bright, clear and could be seen with the naked eye. If you have never seen the Milky Way it should be added to your list of things to see. I have seen it a few times in my life and it never gets old.
As part of an epic road trip from Amsterdam to Paris we planned on stopping in Keukenhof. It is only open 2 month a year as it is an expo on all Dutch bulbs, mostly Tulips. We have had family and friends come here and seen may pictures on social media so we were excited about the pit stop.
Driving South from Amsterdam you find yourself quickly in some of the greenest farm country in the world. Old and new windmills begin to appear all over on the horizon. About 30 minutes from leaving the car rental place we leave the highway and start to see fields and fields of patchwork colors. Commercial tulip fields as far as the eye can see. A few minutes later we arrive at Keukenhof.
Since 1950 the park has been used as an independent showcase of Dutch flowering bulbs. Over 7 million bulbs are planted each year, not to mention the trees and other flowering plants. The park besides being a tourist attraction is a living catalogue of plants that can be ordered and shipped all over the world. At the time of writing this post our tulip bulbs had not yet arrived as it is still summer and bulbs are shipped in the fall.
We only had a few hours here but one could spend a full day. Besides the rows and rows of flowers here are some things that were highlights for our kids:
- Petting Zoo
- Kiosk that sold hot stroopwaffles, Belgian waffles and dutch hot chocolate
- Climbing into a working windmill that overlooked the grounds and nearby commercial tulip fields
- taking pictures of everything on their ipods
- Keukenhof has a kids scavenger hunt that 2 out of 3 of our kids liked
The best way to show how cool it was is with pictures. We would go back 100 times as it was so beautiful and enjoyable to be in the park.
One Afternoon in Ghent
On a road trip from Amsterdam to Normandy we found ourselves having been in the car too long and needing a break. When we checked the GPS we saw that Ghent, Belgium was only 3 miles away. The only thing we knew about Ghent was the famous altar piece from the movie The Monuments Men.
It was a Saturday afternoon and the old town was hopping. After driving through 2 pedestrian only streets we found a parking garage with 1 spot. From our parking spot we walked across the Leie River on a picturesque stone bridge. From the bridge we could see a castle that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We walked past 3 really cool looking churches and some amazing smelling chocolate shops on our way to see the altar piece. Besides the art being amazing the thing that changed our lives here is that our kids took an interest. This was the second on this trip from Amsterdam to Paris where they listened to the audio guides. The first was the Anne Frank House. I was not surprised there because we spent months preparing for the Anne Frank House and for Normandy. But we had zero plans to stop at any churches in Belgium.
After the church we got waffles and ate them in a square near the church. From here we shopped our way back to the car. This included stops at Leonidas and Neuhaus Chocolates It was an amazing diversion on a long drive. Some of the best destinations are the ones that you never planned. Like all of our one day or short stops in places more time could be added here but the stop was amazing.
One Hour in Florence
For our 10th Anniversary we booked a flight from the US to Rome and back from Paris. We spent 4-5 days in each of the bookend cities but the middle of the trip had 3 nights in 3 different cities as part of an epic road, rail and plane journey to Paris. Day 1 of this trip found us renting a car at a Rome train station. We needed to be at our rental house in Vernazza in the Cinque Terra at 3. By our calculations we had about an hour to spend somewhere along the way. Based on the map it was a battle between Pisa and Florence. Pisa never really had a chance since all we knew about it was a leaning tower. We know there is more to Pisa than this but I digress.
After 3 plus hours of driving through the Italian countryside we find out selves at Garage Ponte Vecchio. 20 Euros to park all day or in our case 20 Euros for the hour. Worth it! We are now on the clock. We walk across the Ponte Vecchio, window shopping along the way. As we leave the bridge we look for a quick lunch. A deli is selling Panni and Waffles. While the Waffle is more of a Belgian treat it hit the spot. We walked around the square and the Duomo as we ate our lunch. I will be first to tell you 1 hour is not enough time to spend here if you have just an hour it can be done. We only saw the outside of the Duomo and the outside of the Baptistry. Both were amazing, we will be back to see the inside of each building not to mention all the museums and good food that we missed. From here we shopped our way back to the Ponte Vecchio. After we crossed the bridge we found a pastry shop. After a quick stop here we were back on the road racing toward Vernazza and the best Focaccia we have ever had…
Douglas Fir Inn – Hotel Review
Douglas Fir Inn
Located on Tunnel Mountain Road on the east side of Banff the Douglas Fir Inn is a great place to stay but there are some things you need to know first. The hotel is caters to families who are on ski trips in the winter and road trips in the summer.
If you read the reviews many people will say the hotel is dated. To be honest it is. We stayed in one of the stand alone duplex chalets. It has seen better days the carpet is worn the galley kitchen is small and dated. That being said we enjoyed this hotel. It had many amenities that made our stay here great.
Laundry: The hotel is located across the street from a large camp ground, and by large it is huge so the General Store and Laundry facility always have traffic. But, we never had a problem when we washed clothes. For long trips like this if we have access to laundry we usually take advantage so we don't have to pack as much.
Waterslide: The hotel has two waterslides that are indoor, guests can use them as part of their stay. They are not special but at the end of each day our kids loved racing down these slides over and over. Many adults partook as well including this one. In the pool area is an area for toddlers. Outside but connected to the waterslide area is a hot tub. It is quite large and has a nice view of Tunnel Mountain.
General Store: Think any general store in any National Park and that is what you have here. It was great for quick things like a quart of milk but if you need to go to the store make the trip to town or even better stop in Canmore on your way in from the east.
Indoor Play Area: The hotel converted an old racquetball court into a multi-level indoor play place. While we would never tell anyone to book a hotel based on things like this, it was nice to have especially in the morning while everyone was getting ready to take the boys over here to burn off some steam before a car ride to the days journey.
We enjoyed staying here and would recommend it but make sure the hotel is right for you.
Glacier Adventure – Athabasca Glacier AB, CA
This is the first of many posts about an epic adventure our family took in the summer of 2017. In total we drove over 2,600 miles, we could have made it to Key West, FL from our home in suburban Salt Lake. But we did not go east we went north. 11 days, 2,600 miles and we never even left the Mountain Time Zone.
Day 1, 12 hours in the car. The drive north was long and a little painful. Night one was spent in Shelby, MT after a stop at a Lewis and Clark NPS site in Great Falls, MT. Day 2 started early, we found our selves eating lunch in Calgary. We hit some traffic heading west towards Banff and then a crazy summer storm north out of Banff, needless to say Day 2 was almost as long as day 2. 1,100 miles out of the way in 2 days. But as we rolled across the continental divide the storm cleared, and we saw a heard of Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep the trip already seemed worth the drive. Shortly after that we checked in to the Glacier View Inn, and our kids were bouncing off the walls. They were troopers to spend that much time in a car.
The whole point of coming this far north was to see and go onto the Athabasca Glacier. The views from the hotel are amazing. There is a patio with chairs where you can stare at the glacier all day. But as we arrived latter in the day we did this until dinner and then looked out the window of the restaurant.
Day 3, Glacier Tour. For us this was a once in a lifetime experience. While it was only a short time off of the bus on the glacier we felt a world away and than time froze. Our kids were having so much fun once they adjusted to walking on ice. Usually in the summer it is more slushy but the storm the night before had left ice on the surface. Being that close the deep blue ice just below the surface and being able to get an up close view of the Columbia Ice Field and the multiple glaciers that it feeds was amazing. As one might have guessed with 3 boys a brief snowball fight broke out.
After our tour was over we took the bus back to the hotel, at lunch and headed toward Banff, Lake Louise and our hotel for the next 4 days the Douglas Fir Inn.
Note: Book your tour before you get here if you can, it gets busy and the lines get long. Also.if you have tickets you do not need to wait in many of the lines you can just go to where they are taking tickets for the tour and head to your bus. We took the first tour of the day which meant there were fewer people on the glacier I would recommend that or the last tour if possible.
We did not go to the city of Jasper on this trip but if you have the time, it is a very cool city in the middle of some of the most beautiful country on the planet.
Next post Days 4,5 & 6 – Lake Louise and Moraine Lake
Glacier View Inn – Hotel Review
Glacier View Inn
Located on Icefields Parkway in Alberta, Canada 185 km North of Banff, 104 km South of Jasper. The Glacier View Inn is a tale of two hotels. Located on the 3rd floor of the Glacier Discover Center which from 8 am to 5 pm is full of people coming and going from tours and hikes to the Athabasca Glacier. From 5 pm on the whole area clears out and you can have the area to your self. We spent one night here in late July. It snowed on the glacier the night before we got here. Needless to say any visit this far North even in the summer make sure you pack appropriate clothes.
As for the hotel itself it was great. A mix between and chalet and a Best Western. The room was great, we stayed in the rooms with a loft for our kids. Defiantly worth staying the night.
Restaurants: There are 2 food options here. The Dining Room is a more expensive restaurant. It serves 3 meals but has pretty strict hours so check that if you plan on eating here. There is a cafeteria style restaurant. It is open during the day when visitors are in the Glacier Discover Center. We ate at both places, neither were amazing but there were only two choices.
Coming Soon The Glacier Adventure, which is really the reason to stay at the Glacier View Inn
One Day in Philadelphia
Stonehenge and Bath
While we were in London we took a day trip to Bath and Stonehenge. It was about 8 hours round trip but worth the time. Stonehenge is a must and doesn't really demand too much of your vacation but we recommend visiting because of the beauty, history and mystery surrounding this amazing site. While Stonehenge was everything that we thought it would be an a must when visiting this part of England, Bath was the surprise.
Bath is an old town that has Roman roots and tons of old English charm it became a world Heritage Site in 1987. The Bath Abby is at the center of the city's fame and rise to prominence in history, including the crowing of an English King in the late 900s. The Abby has changed hands and been renovated a few times since then but it is beautiful and worth a stop. Not to be outdone the Roman Baths are almost 2000 years old. We love history and have always been entranced by the Romans especially when the remnants are found on the outskirts of the Holy Roman Empire, like here in Bath. The Roman Temple and Bath were built on top of a hot spring and can be visited for a fee. In addition to the the Abby and the Baths there are many beautify houses and streets that were built from the 1600s to the 1800s and have shops and restaurants. The Avon river of Shakespeare's fame runs through Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon is just down the road.
Galeries Lafayette – Hidden Gem in the middle of Paris
Let's start by saying Galaries Lafayette is not a secret nor is it hidden but there is more to this monster department store than an amazing stain-glass skylight. Near the Opera Garnier (think Phantom of the Opera) the home to the French National Opera, Galeries Lafayette operates 3 huge stores on Rue du Lafayette. It is always mentioned in the shopping sections of guide books as 'the' department store in Paris, and really in all of France. That being said it can be much more than a basement full of women's shoes, and we mean the entire basement floor is stall after stall of brands of women's shoes. It is near the Paris Metro stops of Opera and Chausse d'Antin de Lafayette.
Near the roof of the store there are multiple cafeteria style cafes. You won't find high cuisine here but what you will find is a reasonable place to eat a meal or grab a snack, and that place has amazing views of the heart of Paris. Venture up to the roof you will find lounge chairs set up on AstroTurf and 360 degree view of the City of Light. This is a free view of the city where as most other view points are ticketed and have huge lines. We visited on a rainy day in March and the views were a little obscured by clouds but because most of Paris was built 5 stories or less you can still see all the sites that you would want to see.
Across the street from the main store which is geared toward Women you will find the men's (Homme) store and kiddie corner from the main store is the home store. These are fun places to wander on a rainy day. The main store has a pretty fun toy and souvenir section as well. While we wouldn't say that it is a must do we have always enjoyed the spectacle of the store and it is a great place to rest from the elements for a while.

Moving On
Terra Nova School feeds to both day and boarding schools. Pupils are prepared for 11+, 13+ and Common Entrance examinations.
The excellence of the Terra Nova education is such that children are so thoroughly prepared for their examinations, 100% of pupils attain a place at their first choice of senior school and many pupils achieve awards and scholarships.
The Headmaster and the Head of Academics at Terra Nova support parents in determining which senior school would be most suited to their child:
- In the past 5 years, Terra Nova pupils have been awarded 60+ scholarships.
- As of March 2018, Terra Nova pupils have won 11+ places to Cheadle Hulme School, The Grange School, The King's School, Macclesfield and Denstone College plus an award to The King's School, Macclesfield
- As of March 2018, at 13+, places have been won to The King's School Macclesfield, scholarships have been awarded to Terra Nova pupils by Denstone College, Ellesmere College, Sedbergh School, Shrewsbury School, Repton School & Wrekin College.
Boarding schools our pupils have attained places at include;
Eton College
Wycombe Abbey
Denstone College
Rugby School
Sedbergh School
Moreton Hall School
Shrewsbury School
Repton School
Ellesmere College
Sandbach School
Day schools our pupils have attained places at include;
The Manchester Grammar School
The Grange School
Stockport Grammar School
Kings School
Cheadle Hulme School
We firmly believe that the wide variety of schools that Terra Nova feeds to is a huge benefit. Each pupil is awarded a place based on the merit of their achievement.
The Year 7&8 at Terra Nova provides a unique opportunity. The pupils enjoy a senior school type experience but within the nurturing environment of a prep school. Our senior pupils are young people that our younger children aspire to become.
Each year group varies in number of pupils and in ambitions for senior schools but using the past 3 years as an example, we have, on average, a 2 form entry for a year group of no more than 30. In the past 3 years, approx 5-10 of the 30 pupils have taken the 11+ exam and moved on to their next school for Year 7.
At 13+ the split between those that leave us for day schools v boarding schools is moving increasingly towards 60% / 40%. Taking into account those that leave at 11+ added to those that leave at 13+ 2 years later.
In terms of boarding schools, in the past 3 years, Terra Nova pupils have won places at and scholarships to: Cranleigh School, Denstone College, Ellesmere College, Eton College, Malvern College, Moreton Hall, Repton School, Rugby School, Sedbergh School, Shrewsbury School, Stowe School, Uppingham and Wycombe Abbey School.

I am so honored to be featured in Domino Magazine's monthly series, At Home with a Minted Artist. This has been in the works for a few months and despite it actually being live online, I still can't quite believe it really happened! I've been a Domino subscriber for years and have saved all my issues, so this has all been a bit surreal to say the least. Thank you to Minted and Domino for giving me this amazing opportunity! I also want to thank Dorothee of Belathee Photography - she was fantastic to work with and her beautiful photos speak for themselves. Here are some of my favorite shots not included online:
