The Canadian Press
Published Thursday, August 21, 2014 1:38PM EDT
QUEBEC -- Ontario and Quebec are calling on the federal government to increase infrastructure funding because of the slower rate of economic recovery and job creation in Eastern Canada.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Quebec's Philippe Couillard say they are looking for improved and stable funding that allows provinces to determine their own infrastructure investment priorities.
The two leaders met in Quebec City today and also discussed climate change as well as trade between the two provinces.
They also agreed to hold a joint cabinet meeting by the end of the year.
Wynne says such a get-together would be the fourth of its kind between leaders of the two provinces.

Nigel Vaz
Life Path Number 22
Nigel Vaz is a male celebrity.
He was born on Monday November 26th 1956, in Aden, Saudi Arabia,.
Nigel Vaz was born under the most powerful and potentially the most successful of all Life Path numbers. It offers him the extremes of life's possibilities: on one hand, Nigel has the potential to be the Master Builder, the person capable of perceiving something great in the archetypal world and manifesting it in the relative world; on the other hand, he can slip into the depths of obscurity, achieving little more than personal support.
Vaz's power is delicate. It exists by virtue of his ideals and vision, which he must use to inspire others to join him in his dream. Only by marshaling collective forces is Nigel Vaz able to bring together the necessary elements - people, ideas, resources - that will enable him to realize his goals.
Consequently, Nigel's Life Path is one requiring dramatic evolution. By being able to integrate seemingly conflicting characteristics within himself - Vaz's inspiring vision and his natural tendency toward practicality, for example - he develops the talent to deal effectively with a great variety of people. This allows Nigel Vaz to understand and unite many differing people toward a single goal, melding them into a concerted whole. His task in life is to unite the dream with the bottom line. In short, Nigel Vaz is the visionary with his feet on the ground.
Nigel is good at business and politics. He naturally understands large institutions, and has the ability to think and act on an international scale.
He is gifted with uncommonly sound common sense. Vaz is able to see the beauty and potential in a given idea, but also the practical methods that will bring it to fruition. Somehow, Nigel Vaz understands the limitations of ideas - what will work and what will not. This is an intuitive gift that can evaluate possibilities on the basis of their practicality.
While in many aspects the 22 is the most promising number, it is also the most difficult to live up to. Vaz has a great ambition, which can be a most difficult master, driving him to accomplish all that he is capable of.
Nigel Vaz is a steady partner in any relationship. He offers sound advice and consistent emotional support. Vaz does not suffer from flights of fancy, and naturally resists the emotional heights. He is unconventional in thought and action, but tends to be traditional in appearance. Nigel avoids airs and pretension.
Vaz's challenge is to share his vision and allow others to make their personal contributions. That requires flexibility on his part, perhaps his weakest characteristic. Nigel Vaz often lacks faith in the ability of others. Therefore, he tends to control people and situations, sometimes tempted to manipulate.
In the end, Nigel Vaz must learn to surrender to the larger cause that he serves. The final result may be quite different from his original vision, but with faith and commitment Nigel will make an enduring impact on the world.
You and Nigel
About Nigel's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Nigel Vaz's birth. In that instant, Nigel stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Vaz's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Nigel Vaz's life.

Friday Five
Name five FUN things you get to do this weekend (cleaning is not fun...lol).
Re: Friday Five
I get to start my new mini job (doing the books at my local gym)- it's fun because I'm doing it with my best friend, I need to workout, I have a couple of craft projects I would like to finish up. I plan on making some granola bars and protein balls, and I need to post some things for sale (money is fun, right?! lol)
Re: Friday Five
Hmm, fun and cleaning doesn't count. Well that narrows it down to the Springette season starting on Sunday afternoon and reading at church Sunday morning.
Re: Friday Five
I don't know about five but here's a few.
I get to be home ALL day today and that's been quite a while.
I am going to see the Croods (?) tomorrow night with my younger 3. Dh is going to the bullerama with the older 2, they are thrilled about it. Bull riding is probably my least favorite rodeo event, so I don't want to go to begin with, plus it would cost $64 for us 4 to go with them.
okay so I won't add the actual cleaning to my fun list, but it's great to have a stretch of time to get a few things done around here.
Re: Friday Five
Oh that's tough. 5 fun things, I'm not sure I can get that many.
But one awesome thing is my goddaughter's 7th birthday party on Saturday! I honestly can't think of anything else, because I will be:
1. Installing my bamboo floors
2. Doing my taxes
3. Painting my recently finished basement
4. Installing my shower base
5. Buying a new bed for downstairs bedroom.
Totally not fun until they are all actually done, then it will be awesome!
Re: Friday Five
Well tonight I'm going for coffee at a friends place
Tomorrow I'm packing
Tomorrow I'm also printing off maps/coupon hunting online
More organizing in baby's room (not cleaning, and it REALLY IS fun!)
Sunday we are leaving on our 'babymoon'/shopping trip in the states
Re: Friday Five
- coffee with a preggo friend!
- maple syrup festival
- organizing the playroom (not cleaning!)
- playing with Cam
- playing with the puppy

I thought I'd wade into the current conversations going on regarding violence within the leftist, activist movement, and whether or not it is justified. Furthermore, is it a Machiavellian justification, the ends justify the means, or is it a Kantian necessity.
I recently saw this video posted up by a family member of a man explaining his take on why identity politics and intersectionality are wrong headed, and that the working class was lost to "liberals" due to paying any attention to that, to fully understand what I'm referencing I would recommend watching it: https://www.facebook.com/myiannopoulos/videos/840123842792179/.
Knowing what is being sold to folks who take an opposition position is important to overcoming that gap. His nonsense wraps up with the concept that liberals are normalizing physical violence, and then he goes on to make the threat: "Step out of the liberal cities and look at the rest of the country. You're outnumbered, out manned and out gunned. You cannot win this if it turns violent. If you normalize violence you cannot win."
This isn't the position of a singular Trump supporter, but a belief held and shared deeply within the Trump base of support. As such I want to take a look at this through three primary points, in an intentionally basic level. As always, I'll have a syllabus of deep-dive material at the end, and recommend you take a look through as much of it as possible as it is meant to support my argument, but will also help you to form or strengthen your own arguments and opinions.
First, the Trump supporter's argument really makes no sense on a number of levels, but not on every level. For the purpose of this essay I'm going to use the lens of violence to explain what I believe are the problems with the argument, as well as the one thing I believe is correct.
Supporting Trump or the broader GOP agenda has, since at least the Nixon era, been an act of cutting off the nose to spite the face for the poor — regardless of ethnic background. Intersectionality is exactly the fact that this is class warfare, that we can all care about our individual "identity politics" (e.g. that a black person has a certain set of concerns that may not be an issue for a white person), but that we all need to come together (intersect) and bring about a change that is about overcoming the need to exploit one-another. The irony of this video example itself is that anti-identity-politics Milo Yiannopoulos titled it "Asian Trump Supporter…" and thus has himself made this identity driven. The reason is that white-males, and those who aspire to being a white male, are confident in arguing against identity politics is because they see their own identity as normative – but I digress.
Capitalism is, by definition, a system of exploitation of resources. To capitalize upon something is to take advantage. It demands that there are a few individuals at the top stepping on everyone else below them. It demands individuals to take advantage of other individuals. As such, capitalism requires unemployment as a component of being able to exploit labor. In its worst, unlivable wages or outright slavery is utilized as a way of further increasing profit and allowing for ever greater exploitation. A confusion that exists broadly amongst conservative voters, and narrowly in the post-Reagan "It's the economy stupid" leadership of the Democratic Party, is a conflation of what neo-liberalism is versus what it is to be a liberal. Neo-liberalism is an imperialist movement based on capitalism. The lynch-pin of neo-liberalism is the constant expansion of free-market capitalism through tactics such as trade deals and military action. Fascism is the far end of the neo-liberal ideal. As benign as a trade deal may seem, international trade is usually heavily in favor of corporate rights over both individual entrepreneurial rights; and much more importantly, over worker and human rights because the workers are trapped within the national borders and economies.
So while I agree with the video's Trump supporter that neo-liberalism is bad – that neo-liberalism has been embraced by every capitalist politician in my lifetime, from Trump to the Clintons. I'm not convinced that many (if any) Trump supporters actually understand the difference, which is clearly demonstrated in this Yiannopoulos example. Trump ran on an anti-trade-deal platform and has already backtracked on that … and who will pay for his wall … and his hatred of the ultimate capitalist – Goldman Sachs bankers – who have made up a significant number of his cabinet members. In his two-week term, he has already essentially broken every campaign promise, resulting in the lowest approval rating of any newly elected president.
It is by no means just Trump's lies and platform reversals makes me cringe at the idea of Trump being elected on the, primarily white, working class vote. Neo-liberalism aside there remains a significant difference between the parties and their processes. Trump and the GOP, through their words and their actions, are fueling racism, anti-intellectualism, and competition between underprivileged individuals and individual groups. The intended result is a populace majority tearing itself apart, marginalizing the working class, instead of working to topple the 1-percent. And in another irony, a significant component of the GOP strategy is to discredit the systemic abuses of marginalized groups. In doing so, the conservatives goal (seemingly succeeded) is to enrage underprivileged whites to the point of making them blind to the true struggle – a widening income gap, the death of a middle class, and a return to a form of feudalism wherein the working class is forced to survive off of indebtedness.
Yiannopoulos' Trump supporter in the video is absolutely on point about the true struggle, even if he immediately misplaces his anger. He provides a parable about how working class people of all backgrounds and situations are struggling today to maintain employment, to afford healthcare and education, and to have access to the financial system the way the privileged do.
To effectively overcome this struggle there has to be a recognition of what exactly is being struggled against. Yiannopoulos' Trump supporter in the video is absolutely wrong about this point. For poor whites this includes things like the opioid epidemic; for other marginalized groups this also includes legal discrimination and violence – both physical and mental – being enacted upon them. Instead in the video the Trump supporter refuses to see the multiple facets to the struggle, assuming the only thing that matters is jobs. Not fair wages, not single-payer universal healthcare, not equality and justice. Essentially the Trump supporter believes he hates neo-liberals while generally arguing directly in favor of extreme neo-liberalism.
He may claim that this is an issue of free speech, but it is hate-speech being wielded as a tool to divide the majority class of Americans, the poor and working class, and to incite violence within its ranks.
Yiannopoulos hides behind the first amendment while personally attacking individual students during campus presentations. In his speeches and his writing for the white-nationalist media outlet Breitbart Yiannopoulos regularly pits people against each other. His defense of Trump only further clarifies how he (and subsequently his supporters) believe opposition should be handled — by bullying through the courts or through physical confrontation. On the campaign trail Trump regularly instigated violence. He continues that.
When I state that there is a distinct difference between the two parties, it is not because I take solace in the Democratic party, even if I tend to vote democrat as a worker who lives in a swing state. I accept some level of pragmatism in my national votes and the democratic candidate is usually the lesser evil. I claim this as the party doesn't actively attempt to divide the working class, or incite violence. Regardless their policies often do divide the working class and lead to violence – again with the question of Machiavelli-ism v. Kantian ideals.
Trump explicitly is committed to both divisiveness and violence via his rhetoric and policy. Over 100,000 fully screened and vetted individuals, potential immigrants – a process that take years to complete – have had their lives upended over Trump's "Muslim Ban." For many this means they have to start that process over from square one, leaving them for years to come in war zones and refugee camps. That is violence.
Trump and the GOP's defunding of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is already effecting prescription drug costs. In my house, all of our prescriptions have doubled in cost in the past week due to that executive order and congressional vote. Again, two examples from the first two weeks of Trump's first term. There are many more.
So would Clinton have done anything to truly help the poor? No, no she wouldn't. Her and her husband have a history of implementing policy that ultimately has further hurt the poor and working class (welfare and prison reform being standouts). That said, she also wouldn't have explicitly blown shit up with zero fucks given to how the majority of Americans will deal with no safety nets, with a reduction in educational opportunities, etc. The Democratic party (and in this election, Clinton herself) have repeatedly shown a willingness to roll over and accept questionable results of elections, that oddly have consistently favored Republicans and the implicit violence their policy brings, instead of fighting to have those questions answered – even if the result remains the same.
The age old adage of "If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it" seems to receive further support when examining election inconsistencies. Additionally, waiting two years until the 2018 election cycle to make a change through the vote is an exceedingly questionable tactic given another age old adage of relevance in the current political climate: "just because something is legal, doesn't make it right."
Or, in a more eloquent form, "One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." (Martin Luther King, Jr.; Letter from a Birmingham Jail).
One of most anti-democratic and unjust laws that has been harshly enforced, specifically since the 1990s, but stretching back to the late 1960s, is the government permitting process for protests and the concept of the "free-speech zone." According to court decisions, the bases for these permits and the containment of protests to specifically cordoned off areas is to all for equal public access and enjoyment of public areas. While the ACLU has had mixed success with arguing against these protest pens, it is not a majority vote that will reinstate more liberal first amendment rights.
In an interview on The Dig podcast, leftist intellectual George Cicariello-Maher talks about this specifically in relation to the recent arrests during Trump's (very poorly attended) inauguration.
"[There are] protestors facing 10 years on felony riot charges, yet people are still talking about property damage being unnecessarily provocative," Cicariello-Maher said, referring to some vehicles being set ablaze by Black Bloc provocateurs, he being more concerned about the unjust nature of felony charges in the face of non-lethal property damage. "There's a lot of fetishization going on all around … first thing is we need to de-fetishize what I call the theological assumptions of non-violence … which is the assumption that history moves forward through reason, and people getting together, and that good ideas defeat bad ones … that's never how these things happened … we don't have civil rights because we convinced white people they were wrong … we have it because nonviolent movements worked alongside violent actions and riots … in an attempt toward pushing the viewpoint."
I am in absolute disagreement that leftist intellectuals and "elites" are responsible for the direct person-on-person violence Yiannopoulos' supporter ascribes to them. There is an abundance of physical evidence to the contrary. Police and politicians use direct and indirect violence against the people in protest on a daily basis. Jail and job loss lobbed at leftists as easily as flash-bang and tear gas grenades. Law and order often inflicted on activists through unjust and questionably lawful orders.
I do agree there is some level of personal violence against fascism coming from leftists here in the US, but I believe it is in response to the systemic violence I described earlier in this essay. Destruction of property associated with neo-liberal policy should be fair game as it is the diametric opposite of the violence inflicted by those policies. When workers destroy the property of anti-worker capitalists, neo-liberals, and outright fascists they are inflicting a toll in retribution for unpaid public shares. When protestors choose their place of protest instead of agreeing to the pens, the free-speech-zones, so often placed out of eye and ear-shot of the policy makers, then the protest actually has power.
Does violence rule then? Yes, yes it does.
Political violence through policy and policing is the ruling power even in our purported democracy. It is working to maintain the power of the 1%. For the working class, the proletariat, the people – non-violent protest of the past is now interpreted by law as violent. The disruption of commerce in the form of blocking entry to buildings (intentionally or not – public or private), the parading of protests that impede vehicular traffic, these are examples of cause which the police use as legal excuse to take physical action against protestors, leading to arrests. Following arrest, prosecutors and politicians push for impossibly high penalties. Trump himself is pursuing language to classify these protest tactics as "economic terrorism."
There are tons of examples of countries around the world who offer all of their citizens (immigrants included) a true chance to pursue happiness, to feel as though justice is served, and that they have the liberty and freedom to live their lives to the fullest. Many of those looked at the flawed, imperfect American experiment of the 1700s and 1800s. Unfortunately, our country continues to fall further and further from those foundational ideals, explicitly because we continue to put people in power who have the express interest in screwing over the majority for their individual gain.
Long gone from the US lexicon is the term citizen, replaced with consumer. The term immigrant replaced with illegal. Liberty now as liability. Community pride gives way to cobranded naming rights.
American capitalism at its finest.

The CEO revealed that work had already started on the controversial multi-million dollar project, with waste studies and sampling completed, and a front-end engineering design contract negotiated – You're Safe (Barbados Today)
On October 27, 2015, Minister of Finance, Chris Sinckler,stated in Parliament: […] "The Opposition did not wait for the process to unfold." – meaning that the Opposition didn't give them time to seek Town & Country Planning approval.
Pray tell me, Mr. Minister of Finance, if the Opposition didn't wait for the process to unfold before running to the public re your application to Town & Country Planning for building the Cahill waste-to-energy plant, who gave Cahill Energy the permission to start on building the plant? It was certainly not the Opposition, because you said they ran around saying that no approval had been given by T & CP.
In the article posted above, Clare Cowan, said unequivocally that work had started on the project in July. The question here is: Who is fibbing? Someone has to be fibbing because either permission was given to Cahill Energy or not. They would not start work unless they were given the go ahead so to do! You cannot state one thing whereas something else entirely different is taking place. If Cahill Energy started work surreptitiously on the plant, would they be dealt with like Mr. Cherry who wanted to start a recycling plant, or is there here once again one law for the Medes and another for the Persians?
The Opposition spoke of Vaucluse and surrounding areas being affected by any problems that arise from running the plant – especially the toxins associated with such a plant – but they didn't think about the people who traverse those areas on their way to work, school, the doctor, etc., or the tourists who will be driving around the island. Their health is just as much in danger as those who live in the areas that would be affected.
Granted, that will not have such an effect on the transients!
They decided to locate the plant where they got the sweetest sweetheart deal. Imagine having free water – which is so scarce that we have gone back to the days of the standpipe in the 21st Century – for 30 years. Some people would love to see water on a daily basis in this country. There are people leaving home and going to work to get a bath before starting work, and you have the audacity to give away water!
We are perhaps the most heavily taxed people in this region, yet there is a "low cash flow" when it comes to things that are important in this country. People cannot get their money months after handing their sick certificates. The scions of the poor, the needy, the vulnerable, and the so-called middle class, cannot get a tertiary education because you stopped paying their UWI fees, and to add insult to injury, you hike the fees for the BCC, leaving them only one alternative – go and find a job.
We have a Psychiatric Hospital which was so dilapidated that the patients had to sleep on the beds on the floor and the roof left much to be desired in the sense of repairs. The QEH still has problems with some things. Funding has been cut to the Welfare Department leaving a few to deal with many which affects mainly our children and those who are dependent on the pittances they now get because that money has also been cut.
But we have millions of dollars to give to foreign entities.
The argument about the building of the highway and the prison does not hold water because the only polluted air coming from the highway is from the vehicles, and as far as I know there is no more pollution at the prison than anywhere else in Barbados. As for the Greenland landfill idea, that was mooted years ago, and we are looking forward not backward. It is time to spend some of our taxes on the populace of this country!
Beware of gift-bringing Greeks, Mr. Minister of Finance!

Taking Advantage of Internet Deals and Selecting the Right ISP
Home phones and cable TV have been an integral part of US homes for decades, and the internet is the new addition to a growing list of must-haves. If you are living in the United States, then the chances are that you have an internet connection already. However it is not infrequent to change your ISP once in a while to getter better services at a fairer price. That is the reason why ISPs target existing users as well as new comers ferociously. Gone are also the days when most areas had just one service provider. Not it is a free playing field. The beneficiaries are the common users like you and I. Competition amongst service providers is causing prices to dip lower than ever before, and offering internet deals are amongst the strategies that ISPs use to sign up new customers. Deals are usually very attractive and sometimes are time bound – 3-12 months offers with packages are very common these days.
Singing up at the height of an internet deals offer is an excellent way for saving money. If you are lucky you will save anything up to 50% of normal prices if it is for extended periods like a year or two. Long term contracts ensure that you save money, but the downside is that you will be making long term commitments. Saving money is only one part of the story when it comes to ordering an internet for home. There are many other issues that need to be addressed. Here are the other issues. Give your thought to it before you take the plunge and save yourself the trouble of having to go through the whole process another time.
a.The kind of budget you have for home internet is very important. Internet speed matters but more important is your ability to service the monthly bill that you will be getting. Faster internet can cost a lot of money and unless you have use for it by way of downloading movies, streaming videos, photo upload/download little they will give value for money. So choose your speed wisely.
b.Great features, mind boggling speed, dazzling speed and things like these are really about selling. There is virtually no internet service provider who will not lay claim to being the best in the country. The fact that an ISP provider has been rated the best in the country doesn't mean you are doing to get the best in your home. There are always some issues specific to some areas. The best way to check that there isn't anything adverse to your area is to ask your neighbor who has an internet connection.
c.Getting an internet connection is not akin to getting married and living happily thereafter. It is more about getting quality service from the service provider during the lifetime of the internet connection. Technical support is a basic necessity and should be available 24/7 throughout the year. That the ISP is rated the best nationwide doesn't mean it also going to be the best for you home again. So check that good technical support is available and the technicians are a helpful lot in your area.
d.Another area that internet customers often forget is about the security features that come as part of the deal. Without an exception all internet service providers provide some form virus, malware, Trojan and spam protection as part of their standard service. But the better service providers are those who provide specialized solution to protect your computer from cyber thieves. If your service provider can give you some specialized software for that, then take that into consideration before you sign up.
e.Finally get a feel of the quality and reliability from one of your obliging neighbors they are the best source of information about the quality of service they are getting. If they are generally happy there is no reason why you shouldn't be. After all you have to select one or the other anyways and so you may have to make some compromise as well.

Opened: November 19, 1865
Location: Bounded by Geary, Turk, Parker and Arguello Streets (30 acres).
Closed: Bodies moved in 1929-1935 to Greenlawn Cemetery in Colma, California.
All that remains of the cemetery founded on the western slopes of Lone Mountain is the Columbarium, a magnificent repository for cremated remains still in business today (run by the Neptune Society).
A Greek cemetery, close to the current intersection of Stanyan and Golden Gate, was accessed through the Odd Fellows ground until the bodies were moved to the Golden Gate Cemetery. (Although the removal of the bodies may not have been done with the greatest of care. See the 1899 story, "A Neglected Graveyard", on Ron Filion's site for more.)
The land, exempting the five-acre plot surrounding the Columbarium, was developed into commercial and residential lots. A large section was used for a public park and pool named after former mayor Angelo Rossi. In the image at the bottom of this page you'll see workman digging on this site the day after Christmas, 1933. Roosevelt Middle School, Temple Emanu-el and the Columbarium are all visible in the distance.

Code snippets for symfony 1.x
Since it can be annoying to have Propel ignore collation of tables in MySQL >= 4.1, you must force Propel to use UTF-8 collation by running the SET NAMES UTF8 SQL query.
In order to do that, you specify a filter that executes at every request. Specify the following code in filters.yml:
myUtf8ConnectionFilter: class: myUtf8ConnectionFilter activate: on
Create a new file called myUtf8ConnectionFilter.class.php in your application's lib folder and insert the following code:
<?php class myUtf8ConnectionFilter extends sfFilter { public function execute($filterChain) { $con = Propel::getConnection(); if ($con){ $con->executeQuery("set names utf8"); } else { throw new Exception($e); } $filterChain->execute(); } } ?>

Saturday: Shop!–or Maybe Not
I am seriously rethinking my Saturday category (Shop!); for the past few months I have NOT felt like shopping. I want my kids to have less, for our lives to be simpler and more natural. I was a bit overwhelmed with the amount of STUFF in our home…until I read the article below. The process of decluttering our playroom has consumed every free moment this week, but it has helped make our lives a lot simpler!
I have highlighted the points in the article that made the biggest impression on me. A thank-you to Parents for including this in their magazine and to Francesca Castagnoli for writing it so wonderfully!
How to Declutter Your Playroom
Our playroom was an unholy jumble of action figures, Legos, and trucks — until I went on a quest for order.
Recently, my family and I moved from a small city apartment to our first house, a Dutch Colonial in the New Jersey suburbs. I set up the playroom as quickly as possible, before my sons, Conrad, 5, and Dashiell, 3, could even think of breaching the living room (after years of sharing it with an exersaucer, I was determined to keep that space toy-free). In the playroom, we installed a high bookcase with 16 shelves and filled each shelf with tall toy bins that brimmed with the boys' many toys. The result: At the end of each day, after the kids had spilled the contents out on the floor (usually in search of one obscure thingamajig), the room looked as if some Lego-eating giant had broken in and barfed all over the floor.
Every evening, I would insist that the boys pick up. We'd sing the cleanup song, and they'd throw everything in the bins willy-nilly. I would have liked them to be more precise, but I also needed them to get to bed. So I applauded their effort, and once they were asleep I would painstakingly put everything where it rightfully belonged. The problem I needed to face was this: Why couldn't I, a grown-up, highly educated woman, figure out how to deal with something as childish as toys?
Obviously, I needed professional help. So I called Tonia Tomlin, author of Chaos to Calm, to help me streamline things. After I explained the whole situation, Tomlin said, "Sounds like your kids need to be taught how to take ownership of their toys." Um, yeah.
Special Places
Epiphany #1: Kids need a special place for special things.
The first eye-opening piece of advice Tomlin offered was to give each of my boys a box, bag, or basket for their current favorite toys. I decided to try it out that very day, as soon as Conrad walked in the house after school and asked where his Pokemon cards were. This time, instead of responding with my usual, "I don't know. Where did you put them?" I handed him a small bag and said, "Go find your cards and put them in here. It's a special place for your things. Your brother can't touch anything you put in here. And from now on, when you want to find your stuff, you'll always know where it is." I expected him to tell me why it was too hard, but instead he said, "Yippee!" He was as relieved to have a system as I was.
The Toy Solution
Epiphany #2: Toy bins are the handbags of the playroom.
When I carry around an oversize purse, who knows what's lost at the bottom? The boys' stuff, stored in deep, opaque bins, was suffering the same fate. The problem was, I could fit a lot in the giant containers but the boys couldn't play with the toys easily. Just as you need different bags for different outfits and occasions, toys cry out for a unique match too. So I studied the size of their playthings and bought bins that matched. Tiny things, like Playmobil accessories, got small, shallow baskets. Objects larger than my hand, like a truck or a spaceship, were matched with midsize ones, and dress-up clothes and balls were tossed into large bins.
How to Let Go
Epiphany #3: The less kids have, the more they play with it.
During my great toy reorganization, I decided to pull certain playthings out of rotation. I moved all their least favorite games, puzzles, and figurines to the basement for a Christmas-in-July moment and cut our toy population in half. As soon as I did this, the room seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The air was clear, and there was more white space. With less clutter, the boys weren't overly stimulated and played more calmly. They also had more room to spread out, and cleanup was a breeze.
Epiphany #4: You have to teach your kids how to let go.
Because Dashiell is only 3, I could get away with taking the toys he wasn't playing with anymore and tossing them in the dead of night. But older kids, like Conrad, are another story — he would notice if something had gone missing. Tomlin told me that older kids should be included in purging to make sure they avoid getting caught up in a "hoarding syndrome," something she sees in children whose parents give them a new toy for getting rid of an old one, rather than teaching them to just let go. I resolved to sort through and clean out Conrad's toy bins with him every few months. Some toys we'd give to his younger brother, others would go to charity, and anything broken or missing a vital part would be disposed of — permanently.
Different Spaces
Epiphany #5: Different activities need different spaces.
The biggest organizational nightmare in my house was our older son's vast Lego collection. The thousands of pieces were stored in a clear plastic box hidden under the couch. the problem was that when he wanted to build something, he had to scatter everything on the floor to find the pieces he wanted. Then we would all be stepping on Legos for the next few days (Owww!). Even worse, though, were the creations, meticulously assembled, that were crushed in an instant by a 3-year-old running across the room. I decided to create a Lego "nook." I bought the perfect shelving system at Target and diligently sorted the blocks by size and color (an hour-long task that became almost meditative). I set up a desk with a chair to be his workstation and hung some shelves to create a gallery for displaying his masterpieces. When Conrad came home after school and walked into the playroom, he was speechless. He actually thought I had bought him more Lego sets until I explained I had merely organized his collection and put everything in the corner where he could create in peace — and I also explained that if he put all the pieces away after playing, it would always be this awesome.
Put the "Play" in Playroom
Epiphany #6: When your playroom is designed for playing, not simply storing toys, it really is the happiest room in the house.
After showing Conrad his new Lego corner, I left to make dinner, and five minutes later he called, "Mom, will you build something with me?" I stopped cooking, we sat down together, and to my surprise, the neat new arrangement made the experience fun — not frustrating. I actually felt like I was in one of those make-your-own jewelry stores — except instead of designing a necklace I was able to make a zippy red car in minutes. Conrad created a space-age garage, and before I knew it, dusk had fallen and I had forgotten about dinner. Later that night, after the kids were asleep, I went in to do my ritual cleanup. But, amazingly, everything was already in its place. Even the car I made was safely in its little garage. As I looked at the order I'd created, I felt like I really rocked. and I couldn't wait to apply my hard-won epiphanies to my closet.

Do you guys know what colors the bay comes in? Both quilted and non quilted versions? Thanks!
In the unquilted, there's camel, black, brown (I think that's the one called "Moka"), navy, white (I heard that the unquilted in this color is/will be rare), and when I was at Neiman Marcus this past weekend I also saw it in a light green color and orange.
Thanks Junebug, I saw that light green color in Neimans also. Do you know what it is called?
No, I didn't see the name, sorry. I was distracted and drooling over seeing so many beautiful Bays at once! LOL and my aunt and uncle pulled me away to go look at something else.


text: The good: - S/O bought my bestest cousin and I tickets to a awesome figure skating show that is touring. It is our early birthday presents, we well celebrate together although they are 6 weeks apart. I'm psyched!!! - I'm loving my hair extensions, I haven't pulled a single hair (or had to fight an urge) and I have confidence to go out again The bad: -easy child's grand-papa (as she called him) passed away and she missed school all week for the visitations and the funeral, her first person close to her that she has lost. Poor kid was a mess. This is on her dads side, so she's been there all week. The ugly: -in a MS flare and its kicking my behind. I'm having to force myself daily to go out for some reason, just to avoid depression and to not allow my muscle to stagnate, I am concerned there is some major muscle atrophy going on to begin with and don't want it to worsen. Fatigue is getting me down and I sleep so much. Bladder is acting up, my back hurts so bad and I'm having spasms in the muscles under my ribs on my left side and esophagus spasms, along with major vertigo that makes movement difficult and leaves me nauseas and has caused me to nearly fall several times a day simply by moving my head to look elsewhere etc. Yuckers! Sooooo .... anyone else have a good, bad and ugly list?

Britain has become a pagan country over the past half century, creating a vacuum in which people will believe in anything and everything, according to Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, who leads the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales. What do you think? Do you agree with the Cardinal?
A society? No. I would say not. I would question if the Cardinal is reffering to paganity in general, or simply the 'heathens' who don't follow a recognised religion. I for one am 'pagan', but I do not follow 'the' pagan religion as there isn't one. What I am is a follower of the old Celtic beliefs. I myself was brought up going to my local Baptist church. One common 'mis'belief (pun intended) is that young people are led to non mainstream beliefs by programs like Buffy the Vampire slayer, The Craft etc TV series and films. Well, there might be an element of that, but the oldest 'pagans' I've met in recent years were in their 80's (and followed their belief of paganity for many years) whilst a lot of the teenage pagans did indeed start their curiosity by films and TV series or programmes, but sensibly tried to find as much information as possible before deciding on what exactly they believed. The reason so many people have left the current recognised religions is because of education and the opening out of information, especially with the Internet being so popular now. Christianity has been losing followers for many decades now, whilst the pagan 'resurgence' has taken place over the last two decades or so. The main 'recognised' religions say that all the troubles are caused by non-believers 'going stray', but does this cover the current tensions in the Middle East or the zealots currently threatening the West on their religious beliefs? I think not. I do think the World is just developing further, and 'paganity' is adapting itself to the times. The other religions seem very incapable of change and are suffering because of it. Andy Wakeman from UK
Britain is a pagan society. The comments below are a good reflection of the world in which we live. Most people have rejected the God of the Bible. The fact is, all human beings are accountable to Him, whether they believe in Him or not. He created us, and He says in the Bible that "He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by THAT man whom He has ordained and He has given assurance of this to ALL men by raising Him from the dead." Barbara Awuku-Asabre from USA
To translate the Cardinal's comments "there are less people worshiping my God therefore they're all pagans and will go to hell." He's entitled to his opinion but I don't think it's particularly relevant or worrying. Let's face it many of the 'pagan' religions he is probably worried about have been around far longer than his sect. Mark Lowes form UK
The Cardinal is right that there is a vacuum in which people will believe in anything and everything but it's not because of a decline in the number of adherents of traditional Christian denominations (which is, presumably his definition of paganism). The tendency to believe in any old garbage is related exclusively to the lack of a universal school curriculum of comparative religion and philosophy. Those children who learn nothing of this in a State school are left with an open, fertile intellectual field for any old garbage to be sown in. Those children who learn too much of just one exclusive brand of religion in religious schools of any sort are habituated to believe in a dozen impossible things before breakfast every day and are thus also fair game for any attractive garbage that comes along. If you are taught from infancy to really believe in a being with a mans body and an elephants head, or in a man who made a midnight trip round the Middle East and up to heaven on a flying white horse or in a man who was tortured to death and three days later got up, went round seeing all his friends for forty days then went up to heaven on clouds of glory, to be followed there physically by his mother when she died of old age, or in any of the other astounding doctrines of the world's major religions, then you are capable of believing in absolutely anything and everything. Compulsory independent comparative religion and philosophy at all levels of the Educational system is the answer. Education. Education. Education. Gerard Mulholland from France
Yes, it is, people would rather go to the pub than to church. Peter from Czech Republic
Yes and I do not have a problem with it as too many people die from religous strife. Joseph from USA
I hope so, the sight of so many people, christians, jews and muslims, happy to kill in the name of their god, is absolutely sickening. It's about time people took a clearer look at life and realised that they only get one go at it. Life itself is what is sacred. Alien from Spain
If by 'pagan' is meant 'not Christian, then the answer is 'probably'. The majority of people world-wide now belong to the religion which has replaced all others - Materialistic Hedonism. Jim Herlihy from Australia
Hopefully! What is a fellow who would happily be described as 'Cardinal' yet not pagan. Peter page Toles from Canada
One of the last remaining freedoms in the UK seems to be the right to be an atheist. Thank goodness for this. Trevor from Germany
Yes, don't forget it was around long before the birth of christianity. People are looking for hope since "God" seems unable to provide any. Lauren from NZ
Of course not . Les from UK

Blair eyeing Calcutta glory
Mike Blair believes the 2009 RBS Six Nations give Frank Hadden's side the perfect opportuntity to regain the Calcutta Cup.
Last Updated: 17/04/08 2:44pm
Scotland captain Mike Blair believes the 2009 RBS Six Nations fixtures give Frank Hadden's side the perfect opportuntity to regain the Calcutta Cup for the first time since 1984.
The Scots kick-off their campaign at Murrayfield against holders Wales before facing a tough trip to France - followed by successive home fixtures against Italy and Ireland.
The Scotland No.9 believes playing three out of the four opening fixtures at home will set his side up for a crack at regaining the Calcutta Cup at Twickenham in the last match of the campaign.
Blair said: "It's always good to begin the championship at home as it gives you the better chance of starting with a win and then looking to build momentum.
"We do then face a tight six-day turnaround to face France in Paris so the balance between training and rest will be important that week.
"Following that, we have successive home games at Murrayfield against Italy and Ireland.
"I believe that could stand us in good stead for our final game of the championship as we seek to retain the Calcutta Cup against England at Twickenham."

In some cases anyway. A school in the city of Japan's Chiba is giving way to a new method of teaching their fractions.
With Sony Computer Entertainment by their side, the non-profit organization ACE – the Association of Corporate and Education – came up with a way of teaching multiplication and division of fractions to children using the LocoRoco characters to explain problems that make these kids scratch their heads in angst.
The aim of the session was to explain the method logically so that students would understand why the method works. The overall fanciful presentation was based around a Flash game with the LocoRoco characters following a story that saw the concepts being explained, followed by worksheets for practice. Fun.
The teachers themselves were impressed, noting that students didn't get bored because of the story and that teachers seemed to actually have fun themselves this time around. Daisuke Fujikawa, board chairman of ACE, was proud stating:
There are things that are difficult to teach in normal classes, but I think that they can be explained well by using the charm that games have We think of today as being the starting point of our activities, which we hope to expand this much further in the future.
Wait a second, you're telling me that video games can actually be of some use. Like teaching morals, an intricate story to engage people, or even math problems? Get out of town. No, seriously. Fuck off.

Peanut Butter Apricot Bars {No Bake}
I finally relented … I went into the kitchen fully to make Lauren Kelly's lightened up peanut butter chocolate bars, but my apricots started talking to me. I was minding my own business, trying to follow the recipe as best I could (sans the sucanat, of which I have none) and the (partly-eaten) bag of dried apricots that was sitting on the counter just INSISTED to be included.
So I obliged. Health-wise, I figure the dried apricots totally make up for the lack of sucanat and I love the bit of "chew" they add to the eating experience. I gave some to my friend and she says they taste sort of like a PB&J sandwich (you know, with apricot jam!) but with chocolate on top. Yeah, actually they do.
The quality of the chocolate you use is key, in my book. And, the darker the better, but you know when you make them you should please yourself and make them according to your own tastes.
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2/3 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi sweet or dark chocolate chips
- Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together everything except the chocolate chips. You may need to use your hands to get it all mixed well.
- Press the peanut butter apricot mixture into the prepared pan.
- Put the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 90 seconds. Stir, stir, stir. Put back in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir more ... the chocolate chips should melt as you stir. If still not melted, microwave another 30 seconds and stir.
- Smooth the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Let sit in a cool place for 5 - 10 minutes or until the chocolate just begins to set. Cut into small squares before the chocolate hardens.

Ex-soldier sues the Army after being raped by a fellow soldier
A FEMALE squaddie who claims she was raped by a fellow soldier is suing the Army for a series of "catastrophic failures".
The woman had been in the Army for just 18 months when she was allegedly attacked by her team commander.
After the assault the soldier, who cannot be named, claimed she was bullied by her comrades for informing on a fellow serviceman. She claims she was eventually abandoned by the Army and told to seek "outside" professional help for her trauma.
Now she is taking legal action against the Ministry of Defence which she accuses of a gross failure in duty of care. The soldier believes her career could have been rescued if she had been given proper help and counselling.
One source said: "She had a brilliant career ahead of her. She was actually offered a commission but said she wanted to spend some time in the ranks first."
She is now on compassionate leave and will shortly be quitting the Army. Police are investigating the alleged rape. Between April and October last year, 15 servicewomen claimed they were raped and a further 200 said they had been sexually assaulted.
But the victims feel their claims are not treated seriously. Former Territorial Army corporal Donna Rayment was sexually assaulted in a hotel in 1999 and has now taken her case to the European Court of Human Rights.
She said: "Victims are made to feel as though they are the problem. Sexual assault is rife. Complaints like mine are effectively ignored."
The latest case bears striking similarities to that of Cpl Anne-Marie Ellement who was raped, bullied and eventually committed suicide while serving in the Army. She was found hanged at Bulford Barracks in Wiltshire. The MoD was forced to apologise to her family for the failures which coroners said contributed to her suicide.
"Victims are made to feel as though they are the problem"Donna Rayment, former territorial army corporal
The latest victim is being supported by the human rights group Liberty.
Emma Norton, Liberty's legal officer, said: "If you or a loved one suffer the trauma of sexual assault or rape, the least you are entitled to expect is access to an independent, competent investigation. In cases involving the Army there is little hope of this unless they are handled by civilian police."
An MoD spokesman said: "The armed forces absolutely do not tolerate rape, sexual assault or sexual harassment and every reported incident is thoroughly investigated.
"We recognise the great courage it takes to come forward and report a sexual offence, which is why we have extensive support in place."

WE STEP INTO THE LIGHT is a continuous global art exhibition that encourages artists from all mediums of art to capture the beauty and strength of those who have survived the trauma of abuse and tragedy and have built thriving lives. The origin of the exhibition comes from the experiences and triumphs of a thriving sexual assault survivor Dr. Desmonette Hazly. Dr. Hazly wanted to have a life centered on her dreams, goals and aspirations and not allow the trauma of rape to be the defining moment of her identity. After writing a creative sensual cookbook to address issues of intimacy and body image, Dr. Hazly recognized the power of art to inspire those who have suffered emotional and physical trauma of abuse to see their beauty and find their strength to live the lives they have always wanted.
WE STEP INTO THE LIGHT partners volunteer artists with survivors who are thriving in their lives despite the pain they have suffered. The artists get to know and understand the thriving models and create an image that represents the growth and uniqueness of the people who triumph over tragedy. Each model that is immortalized in a piece of art writes a brief narrative celebrating their survival and highlighting their will to thrive and be successful in their lives.
On April 16, The Rape Crisis Center of the YWCA of Greater Los Angeles had their first annual Thriving Awards dinner. The event was inspired by Dr. Desmonette Hazly and celebrates thriving individuals who have experienced sexual assault and domestic violence and have gone on to build incredible meaningful lives. The YWCA, as part of the evening's celebration, hosted the first We Step Into the Light art exhibition. Dr. Hazly volunteered with the YWCA's Compton Rape Crisis Center when she began her social work career over 16 years ago and felt it was befitting to have the agency host the first art exhibition. A staggering one third of all women globally have been raped or abused in their lifetimes. Many women suffer in silence and do not have the opportunity to rebuild their lives after the trauma. WE STEP INTO THE LIGHT looks to use the power of Art, to shed light on the issue and gives hope by highlighting the lives and beauty of thriving survivors.

Our Wedding was featured at IntimateWeddings.com!
When I married my husband we had just brought a fourth baby into our lives and were embarking on purchasing our first home together. Suffice to say, funds were tight.
I think the most special thing about our wedding was only made so due to the financial limitations we had when planning it. It meant we had to keep our guest-list intimate and our touches very handmade and personal.
The photography is what preserved the love and beauty that encapsulated the day and I owe all my thanks to Alisha Guild for doing such an amazing job at that. She really holds a special place in my heart for offering to come share the day with us. To see the full album and all of the crafted personal touches we incorporated into it follow the link to Alishas website where she showcases the wedding with her beautiful eye for photography.

Information is the new petroleum. Just as oil and its by-products, including gasoline, drove innovation and development in the 20th century, information will spearhead change across the decades of the 21st century.
Industry analyst Doug Laney has defined infonomics as the study of the production and consumption of information. In this view, information is accounted for and managed as a business asset.
As publishers remake themselves into information providers for the Digital Age, they should abandon the notion of content as their product, says Grace Hong, Vice President of Strategic Markets & Development and General Manager of Learning Solutions for Wolters Kluwer's Tax & Accounting division. Instead of content in the traditional sense, she explains, publishers must move to the marketplace that Big Data has opened up.
"When it comes to big data – and especially when we think about organizations like traditional publishing organizations – data in and of itself is not valuable. It's really about the insights and the problems that you're able to solve," Hong tells CCC's Chris Kenneally.
"From a product standpoint and from a customer standpoint, it's about asking the right questions and then really deeply understanding how this information can provide value to the customer, not only just mining the data that currently exists. It's really about creating that meaning through asking the right questions," she explains.
Vice President of Strategic Markets & Development and General Manager of Learning Solutions for Wolters Kluwer's Tax & Accounting division, Grace Hong leads strategic initiatives to transform the U.S. Research & Learning business unit, overseeing new product development, business intelligence/analytics, and technology. As General Manager of the Learning Solutions business, she is responsible for platform enhancements, content investment and innovation, and market expansion.

"Kindle Schmindle," a work in progress, by Treena Rowan
Samantha Ehlinger, Texas Christian University student, Houston Chronicle intern:
"I am made with bones that bounce
and giggle at the sound
of their own cracking."
- Tyler Knott Gregson
Excerpt from "Typewriter Series #792"
I'm reading poetry now in a way I never expected. When scrolling absentmindedly through my Instagram feed, I have to stop to read the little verses of inexplicable melancholy produced by Tyler Knott Gregson.
His works are printed on different kinds of paper with a typewriter. The language and construction are usually simple, making the themes accessible, and the mini-messages captivating. Each poem he posts gets thousands of likes.
Check out his Instagram, or pre-order his book of poems.
Inexplicable melancholy? Doctors who refuse to adopt new methods? Infuriating Kindle? Take comfort in Gray Matters.
Marrie Richards, M.D., general practitioner:
I'm just finishing Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard. It's a fascinating book about the presidency of James Garfield and the creepy guy who shot him. Apparently Garfield didn't exactly die from the gunshot wound, but died because his doctors refused to adopt the new available methods of wound care and infection control. It's a good read and is hard to put down.

Treena Rowan, artist and beader, retired from DeBakey High School for Health Professions:
"The Autumn of the Patriarch" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I also love Pablo Neruda, Carlos Fuentes. I used to read Carlos Castañeda but that was years and years ago. I read them in paperback. I cannot afford hard copies, and I threw my Kindle at the wall when I got mad at it. Then I made it into an artwork, "Kindle Schmindle," that I really quite love.

Good Friday Movie Night
We are hosting a Movie Night on Good Friday. We will be worshipping through song and also watching The Passion of The Christ. 6pm is our start time so please plan to join us and invite your friends, families, and neighbors.
Open to the public!
Whether you're a CP member or not, we would love to have you here.Be our guest, we're planning for you!
We will be watching a film depicting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Youth Worship Area on the 2nd Floor.
The Bible teaches that Jesus' death on the cross was payment for OUR SINS - not just those sins or people that we think are bad, but for all sins. Through Him, we can be FORGIVEN, once and for all! In our fast-paced, information-saturated culture it's easy to lose sight of what He actually went through to purchase our redemption and freedom.
What about kids & teens?
The Passion of The Christ is rated R. There's no way to accurately depict a Roman crucifixion and what Christ suffered without an R-rating. As a result, we recommend it for adults. Parents of teens should consider that there are violent elements of Christ's death visually portrayed and other thematic elements that may be scary for children. IT IS COMPLETELY YOUR DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT TO BRING YOUR TEEN TO THIS EVENT.
Elementary Age (K - 5th Grade)
Lauren Gill, our Children's Ministry Director, has put together an activity and movie night suitable for children in our Kids Worship Space upstairs.
Birth to Preschool Age Children
We will have childcare provided for these ages downstairs in our nursery area.
How much?
Free! The Good Friday Movie Night & all refreshments being provided are fully funded by the gifts of Cross Point members! There is no cost tonight!

LOL FW, if I didn't want educated kids I know I would be amazing hahahaha
Repti, i bet the kids are enjoying their time with you. As for walking, it is good for you. Because we have to keep the dogs apart and Layla in the house I have been walking the dogs, each dog get's about a mile (up and down our road) and I've been doing this up to 5 times a day. Not seeing any benefits but hey I'm walking.
The hubby came home with 4 gallons of milk, a gallon of whipping cream, 7 things of sour cream and a large container of cottage cheese. I am in heaven! He thought I'd get mad about all of the sour cream, but he doesn't realize just how much this family uses it. I make all of our dips and dressings, lot's of sour cream. I'll be nice and give some to the older kids.
