What does your palm reveal about your personality? As you all know, palmistry (aka chiromancy) is an ancient method practiced all over the world. Its roots originated in Indian astrology and Roma fortune-telling. The objective is to evaluate an individual's character and future by studying the palm of their hand. Do you want to learn to gain insight? Quickly take the palm reading personality quiz to understand your inner traits.
For many years, palm reading is the skill of knowing your fortunes and apprehending your personality from your palm lines and other related features. The advice of a detailed palm reading helps you become a better person, yet it requires the technique of telling fortunes and deciphering individuality from the palm lines. There are four major lines on one's hand – Heart Line (also Love Line), Head Line (also Wisdom Line), Life Line, and Fate Line – which help revealing their strengths, flaws, experiences, and where they are headed in life. Is the prediction from the reading really accurate? Everything begins with faith, tell yourself!
Everything about your hand can be important clues indicating what kind of person you are and what lies in-store for you. For the purposes of a reading, you need to learn a few important basics to define your own temper and personality.
Can palm reading reveal your personality? Of course, palmistry with the meaning of hand prediction is to learn a person's personalities, fortune, and future by analyzing their hand palm. In fact, chiromancy not only refers to the reading of one's palm; it also includes the reading of arm, fingers, and fingernails. By observing their palm lines, hand shape & size, finger lengths, fingernails, etc., you can predict their character traits, wealth, health, career, marriage, and much more aspects. Now, carefully look at both your palms:
- Hand shapes – Earth hands, Air hands, Water hands, and Fire hands
- Minor lines – Line of Apollo (Sun Line), Line of Mercury (Health Line), Union Lines, Travel Lines, Children Lines, and Girdle of Venus
- Mounts – Luna Mount (Moon), Venus Mount, Jupiter Mount, Saturn Mount, Mercury Mount, Apollo Mount, Mars Negative (Lower Mars), and Mars Positive (Upper Mars)
- Finger prints – Whorl (Fire element), Loop (Water element), Arch (Earth element), and Tended Arch (Air element)
The palm reading personality quiz can help you understand your positive and negative attributes. Keep in mind that the palm lines are usually not fixed – it changes as you get older. So, don't take the quiz too serious since only your own effort and wisdom can help you have a positive outlook on life and develop a good personality.

Real-World moving company Advice Clarified
Tips to Choosing the most effective Relocating Firm
Like within any type of industry, the family goods company has its share of rogue business that have been understood to victimize the general public. From rejecting claims, shed personal belongings and also holding the customer's things for "ransom money", reports of misuse by relocating business take place all too often.
The majority of these consumer abuses take place by those moving companies who are operating under their very own authority and also are usually not related to a major van line. These rogue moving companies will frequently function under their own common "van line" name.
Forty million individuals relocate each year and also the big majority are finished with client complete satisfaction by both, van lines and also independent movers. These movers also tend with the negative impact placed on them and also the market by the deceptive business that make the most of the customer.
The significant source for the customer that gets captured in one of these moving rip-offs typically lies with picking the cheapest priced mover. Economics is definitely understandable, but opting for the most inexpensive rate is normally a dish for calamity. Extensive study as well as comprehending exactly how the moving sector operates, play essential consider picking the very best moving firm for your moving.
With May through October being the busiest time for moving companies, the optimal relocating period will quickly be approaching and there are steps that customers could take to raise their possibilities of getting a care-free move:
Never hire a moving broker
Make certain the relocating company has stayed in business for a minimum of 7-10 years
Visit their office to create certain they are that they state they are
Never allow an "quote" over the phone
Make sure their vehicles show the ideal markings as needed under federal regulation

Complete involvement of patients in their personal healthcare is known as End-to-End Patient Engagement. In today's world, this is primarily accomplished electronically through Patient Engagement Technology that involves hardware, software, and services. This technology is an important tool for clinical research and trials.
Patient engagement technology is a growing field and has become an extremely popular topic for discussion in healthcare industry. It is an important topic in the healthcare conferences involving healthcare physicians, health-care professionals, healthcare providers, healthcare technologists, healthcare planners, and governments. Many companies provide customized solutions to the healthcare industry.
This technology helps patients, their families, and caretakers to be involved in their self-care. It increases understanding of their health conditions, the course of treatments available and allows taking conscious and informed decisions. It increases active participation of subjects and their involvement until the end of any clinical trial. The success of any clinical trial is based on total participation of subjects through the complete trial period. A high rate of dropout is a huge deterrent for a clinical research trial.
Reasons for adopting Patient Engagement Technology
- Demand for improved healthcare
- Increasing awareness of mobile health (m-health)
- Incentives by governments for adoption of patient engagement technology
- It helps in ensuring security of patient's personal information and data.
Patient Engagement Technology Benefits
Benefits to the Patient
- Cost reduction
- Reduction in hospital re-admission rates
- Enhanced worker productivity
- Increased patient outreach
- Improved quality of healthcare
- Increases understanding of different forms of healthcare systems
- It assists in deciding the best course of a healthcare plan.
- It encourages patients to align behavior to their prescribed healthcare plan.
- Motivate self-care based on the health-care plan.
Benefits to Organizations
For organizations, the End-to-end Patient Technology helps in quick sharing of accurate and time-sensitive information with everyone involved in the healthcare, study, research or trial. It also ensures the security of patient personal data and information.
A large portion of the population lacks health literacy and has poor access to health care. The technology has a fragmented end-user market and sometimes the security of patient data is also at stake.
These technologies require huge investments, a major deterrent for its growth. The price includes licensing fees, implementation fees, annual license maintenance fees, up-gradation and integration fees and consulting fees.
The main hindrance for End to End Patient Engagement Programs in Clinical research is the problem of awareness, trust, and understanding among the trial participants and the providers. Sometimes people show interest in a particular trial but drop out when it comes to actual participation.
However, the scenario is changing through improvements in End to End Patient Engagement programs is giving some positive results. Many organizations are trying to understand the problems, reasons, hesitations, fear, and apprehensions of patients in participating in such programs. This can be only possible by considering patient's actual requirements. Another major factor is the follow-up. A considerable percentage of subjects drop out of any clinical study is due to an absence of follow-up. Enhancing and adding new required features will make the technology more patient-friendly.
Today organizations want patients (subjects) to participate actively instead of just expert discussions that happen to exclude the patient. Discussions with the patient's family, friends and others who can help the patient understand the program and its benefits instead of confusing and misguiding him is a positive step in this direction.
Future Scenario
End-to-End Patient Engagement Technology has a huge potential if used effectively. This technology is an upcoming trend that will increase in the coming years.

I just saw in the news today that former Mercury astronaut, Scott Carpenter pasted away on Oct. 10th of this year.
I was born after the Apollo 11's moon landing, but as a kid I had a sort of an amazement of the space program. I have visited several of the NASA locations (Kennedy Space Center in FL, Johnson Space Center in TX, Marshall Space Center in AL, and White Sands in NM), plus witnessed one shuttle launch from about 70 miles away and drank more than my fair share of Tang as kid. Also my home city is tied in the designing and building of the Mercury capsules. Somewhere in my mid to late teens my interest in space waned a lot, but I always had a lot of respect for the astronauts. I still enjoy going to see a NASA site or a space museum if I am near one, even if I really don't make anymore attempts to keep up on the going-on's of space, except for a peaked interest in SpaceShipOne when it finally made its first two flights into space. So it sorts of bummed me out that somehow I failed to hear of Scott Carpenter's passing away. All that is left of the Mercury 7 is John Glenn.

Have you ever felt like you didn't have enough time?
I can ask that question to any of my audiences and the answer is almost always a resounding yes!
Even if you are a time management expert, most people are going to feel a slight pang of guilt because they feel like they could have done even more with that time.
We never have enough time.
And even when we do it's broken, fragmented, and in small slices between one task to the next.
The bad news is – with the constant barrage of "do more with less" – I don't think we're going to get any more time in our day.
The good news is – you can still find 15 minutes.
And if you can't find 15 minutes, get up 15 minutes earlier.Fallacy: You can only do meaningful work if you have hours and hours of uninterrupted time. Click To Tweet
The truth is you can do amazing things within small increments of time.
In fact, I think that's how most work gets done anyway.
What can you realistically do in 15 minutes?
Well, Wisebread has found 101 things you can do in 15 minutes or less! Check out their list. See if this will inspire you to act.
Let's look at your next 15 minutes.
Focus on the micro task at hand.
You're not going to finish that 3 month project in one day. You have to break your bigger goal into tiny goals. I call this chunking.
If you can chunk out 15 minutes of your time to truly focus on getting one task done, you have instantly boosted your productivity.
Don't read past that too quickly.
15 minutes of a fully focused effort is worth more than an hour behind 3 active screens, facebook, and twitter.
So, decide today, how are you going to spend your next 15 minutes?

Munich, 1972
Steven Spielberg has come out with a movie about the Israeli response to the 1972 murders of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. Based on David Brooks' review in the New York Times, the film seems flawed, reflecting Hollywood pieties on tolerance at the cost of reality.
First, some background. Members of the Palestinian terror group Black September attacked the Olympic compound housing members of the Israeli team in 1972. The attackers killed two Olympians in the attack and took nine more hostage. During a clumsy German attempt to free the hostages, all of them died. So did five terrorists (out of eight) and one German policeman. The Olympics continued after a day of mourning, but International Olympic Committee president Avery Brundage did not mention the slain Israeli athletes during a speech on the first day that the Games resumed. Thanks to Arab protests, the United Nations did not pass a US-sponsored resolution condemning the terrorism. Reprisal attempts by the Israeli government killed Palestinian terror leaders, but whether or not these leaders were all involved in the Munich attack is questionable.
Now, Spielberg's film. It seems to show an interesting evolution in the man's career. In 1989, he portrayed Muslims as suicidal foils to Indiana Jones. Here, he generally absents them from "Munich" and lets ambivalent Israeli secret agents question whether all the violence is necessary. Spielberg says, "A response to a response doesn't really solve anything. It just creates a perpetual motion machine ... There's been a quagmire of blood for blood for many decades in that region. Where does it end?
"The only thing that's going to solve this is rational minds, a lot of sitting down and talking until you're blue in the gills."
Sounds like a sequel to Kingdom of Heaven, albeit almost 800 years later. In that film, too, Hollywood attempted to sell moviegoers the notion that the Middle East is a battle between two groups of people who, if they would only be persuaded to sit down in the same room, could solve their differences. Rubbish. Saladin wanted the Franks out of the Middle East, just as Hamas wants Israel out of historical Palestine, and just as many Israelis want Palestinians to be deported to Jordan. As long as Israelis and Palestinians cling to their conceptions of themselves, there will be no peace, and cold war will be the best possible outcome.
Why is the man behind Schindler's List -- a film that, more than any other, awakened the public to the magnitude of the Jews' suffering -- now coming out with a film that diminishes the Munich tragedy? In Hollywood today, both principles are holy writ: the Holocaust is bad, and Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is bad. To question either statement would be tantamount to questioning Josef Stalin during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.
Perhaps Spielberg simply knows his audience. The people who will see this film will do so after hearing about it on NPR and reading about it in the New York Times (although the Gray Lady deserves credit for running Brooks' piece). Or perhaps Spielberg believes what he is saying. It's easy to do so when you live far from the actual conflict. Yes, by all means, let's put both sides in a room and talk our problems over ... unless the other side is Republican.
I will see this movie and add further comments once I have done so.

Bow and Arrow Making
|Ever wanted to know how to make a bow and arrow? Several books explain how to make bows and arrows, inclugind the Klopsteg book and the article by
T'an Tan-Chiung. While they deal mostly with Turkish and Chinese bows, bowmaking
of other nations can be learned from these two (since all bows have similar construction).
Construction:There are three layers in the composite bows: sinew on the back (the side under tension), wood for the core and horn on the belly (the compression side facing the archer).
Various hardwoods and bamboo were used for the bows core. Limbs in Turkish bows were usually made of maple, sometimes yew, in Chinese of bamboo or mulberry. Wood was selected very carefully, although not necessarily flat grain, if made of bamboo, outer side of a stem would face the horn.
All composite bows have several sections, roughly worked to shape before final assembly: a handle section joined to two arm sections (in bows with bamboo arms the handle is a chunk of wood glued in the middle of one split bamboo stem), arms are joined to a mid-portion (siyah in Turkish or a "knee" or "brain" in Chinese), which in turn is joined with strongly reflexed tips, usually straight pieces with nock grooves at the ends, often called ears and reenforced with a piece of horn. Single fishtail splices, about 3-5" long for knees/siyahs joints and 6-9" for arms/handles are used. Sometimes Cornelian cherry was used by Turks as an overlay for the handle section.
The relative lengths and the reflexed curvature of the various wooden sections varied, depending on the make and origin of a bow: in Turkish, Chinese, Mongolian or Persian bows the arms were more reflexed before assembly, in Tatar and possibly Indian bows the arms were straighter. In Turkish bows the ears were 3-4", siyahs 6-8" and arms 10-12"; in Chinese bows, the ears were much longer relative to arms, could be almost as long as the arms. Handles were short (6-7"). Bows had different lengths: Turkish bows are generally shorter (flight bows were about 44" betw. nocks), Persian a little longer, Chinese and Tatar could be over 6' long. Turkish war bows were longer than flight, but still shorter than target bows, Chinese bows used by foot soldiers were quite small too.
Chinese (and possibly Turkish) bowyers purchased green wood or bamboo. The parts were shaped and reflexed as needed, seasoned for about a year, fitted, joined with glue and dried for another year. Pre-shaped horn strips were glued onto the belly of a bow. Both wood and horn were scored with a special toothed tool and glued together (clamping was achieved by tight binding with rope). Maching pairs of water buffalo horns were used almost exclusively, with an exeption of longhorn cattle horns for some Turkish bows. For best Chinese bows, expensive, translucent, white horns were preferred. Buffalo horns have no sidewise twist as present in cattle horns. Cattle horns had to be boiled, heated and pressed into a correct shape in special wooden molds. Buffalo horns are also more flexible and resilient than cattle horns and provide thicker strips. It is probable that in Persian bows, instead of a solid strip, many thin ones were glued together into one wider strip.
The back of a bow was then covered with sinew, leaving most of the ears/tips bare. Sinew usually came from cow leg tendons, possibly neck (back) tendons. Tendons from wild animals (deer, moose etc.) must have also been used, and, in the authors opinion, are better, leaner, stronger, longer and easier to work with. The dried tendon is pounded until separated into fibers, which are sorted into bundles of similar length. The bundles are soaked in glue and laid onto the back of a bow. 2-3 layers are used for a dry thickness of approx. 3-6mm. On Turkish flight bows a ridge along the centre of siyahs was formed to increase cast. Bows were always seasoned after this last operation from 6 months (Chinese) to at least a year (Turkish). Due to shrinkage of sinew and glue (and from deliberate, progressive reflexing betw. layers of sinew in case of Turkish) bows were at this point very strongly reflexed with tips touching or even crossed. The reflex made the tillering and stringing, which followed, a rather long and complicated operation.
Glue was an important component of the bows, the amount of glue in a finished bow was almost equal to the relative amounts of sinew or horn. Only three kinds of collagen-based glues were used: fish, tendon and skin. For the fish glue, either dry skin from "the roof of the mouth" of Danube sturgeon (Turkish, other fish for Chinese) or isinglas (sturgeon air bladder, Chinese) were soaked in water and heated into solution. The Turks mixed this glue with tendon glue, made from boiled tendons. A glue of lesser quality was made from boiled skins. Such glues readily absorb moisture rendering the bows useless in relative humidity above 70%. The bows had to be stored as dry as possible, kept by the fire, in the sun, or in heated cabinets.
The tillering was accomplished by gradual bending a warmed bow with minimal scraping of the horn layer to balance the arms. The arms were also given the desired curvature and/or weight by warming and tying to special wooden forms until cooled. Turkish flight bows were heated in "conditioning boxes" for 24 hours up to 4 days before competitions to thoroughly dry them (the sinew, glue and horn acquire very high strength and elasticity when very dry). Of course, the bows were never shot when warm; heat, as well as moisture, would make them weak and follow the string.
The finished bows (with an exception of Turkish flight bows) were richly decorated with painted and gilded leather or birchbark. Wooden or horn "bridges" were glued on the belly side where the ears join the siyahs/knees as supports for string loops. Chinese bows had cork and sharkskin wrapped handles and coloured writings can be seen through transparent (if white) horn on the belly.
Strings were made from unspun, raw silk wrapped with cotton at the centre and at a few spots along the length. All reflexed, composite bows had strings with two separate end loops for stability, the loops were tied to the string proper with special knots (the knots rested on the "bridges", as above).
The weight of the bows generally varied from 20 lb (Chinese infantry) to probably up to 100 lb. Turkish flight bows were usually 65 lb (the conditioning process however, see above, could easily add another 20 lb). There was a separate class of very heavy exercise bows. Military examinations in China required drawing heavy bows, up to 200 lb (!).
Shooting:The Asian/Turkish bows were drawn with a thumb, protected with a special thumb ring, of various forms, made of horn, metal or semi-precious stones. The string rests on the smooth, inside surface of the ring, sometimes covered with a small leather tongue. There is a detailed description of the Turkish release in the Klopsteg book. The release is sharper than the three finger release and arrow spine becomes less important. The string was drawn to the ear. Turkish flight shooters used a device called siper, tied to the bow arm wrist, to allow for overdraw (flight arrows were 24- 25" long); also, a waxed strip of fabric was wrapped over the handle to provide a more comfortable grip.
The bows were highly efficient and the record shot with a light Turkish flight bow was close to 900 yards, far beyond the capability of a self bow.

I undertook my nurse training nearly 40 years ago and of course I often use much of the knowledge and experience gained and built upon since then. Strangely there are a number of 'call out' memories that just stick in my mind, and are as vivid today as they were all that time ago. Weil's disease is one of those memories. When I learnt about Weil's disease (pronounced Veil's disease) I was told it was a disease from the past and very rarely seen. It is a disease that is spread to humans through the urine of rats – and as chicken keepers of the world will tell you (and I have kept them for some 40 years), keep chickens and sooner or later you will get to know about rats. They can get in anywhere, and when they do, they cause enormous amounts of damage, steal eggs and will often kill baby chicks.
There is a persistent urban myth that we are never further than 6 feet from a rat. I'm not sure why this enduring myth is so well known, particularly as there is probably little truth in the assertion. The environmental health and housing consultant Stephen Battersby has researched British rats for much of his career. He estimates that there around 10.5 million rats in the UK and given there are over 60 million people in the UK we outnumber the rats 6 to 1. So if you divide the total urban area of the UK, around 16,000 square miles, by hypothetically distributing rats evenly across this space, you would actually be (at most) 164 feet from a rat.
All of the above came to mind as read the report last week of the death of a New Yorker, with 2 others made very ill from Leptospirosis (the medical name for Weil's disease). All 3 cases came from the Bronx area of New York and occurred in the last 2 months. In the last 10 years there has been 26 cases. Given the nature of how the disease is spread, it is perhaps not surprising that all these cases but one, involved men. As far as I am concerned however, the wild rat has absolutely no redeeming features.
One of the other 'call out' memories from my nurse education is that vitamin D is not a vitamin at all. Vitamin D is actually a hormone, and as such, it is our bodies that makes most of the vitamin D we need. 10% comes from our food, but it is the action of sunlight on our skin that first produces cholecalciferol, which gets converted by the liver to calcidiol – the active form of vitamin D is then produced by the kidneys. Too little vitamin D is most often associated with calcium deficiency and healthy bones, causing rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. It has also been linked to the development of diabetes, multiple sclerosis, depression, heart disease and last week, research published in the British Medical Journal argued it could help spare 3 million people from suffering from cold and flu each year.
It's true that our body's immune system uses vitamin D to make antimicrobial 'weapons' that puncture holes in bacteria and viruses, and so could help prevent colds and flu. However, 1 in 5 people (1 in 10 for those aged 40 or over) in the UK have such low levels of vitamin D that they would need to take supplements to gain this protection. And that's the rub. The team that undertook the research advocated that vitamin D supplements should be added to food or milk, which to me is taking population health to a new and unacceptable level.
Choice is everything, and these days digital technology increasingly enables us take a proactive approach to maintaining our health and wellbeing. There is a huge resource of advice available in many different media to help us make such choices and sustainable lifestyle changes. It should not be the role of the State to use and draw upon 'scientific knowledge' to exert social control in any form. My favourite philosopher, Foucault returned to this theme in much of his work, noting that there is a relationship between power and knowledge - and power (political, hegemonic or otherwise) should never be used to control and define knowledge.
Coming at the same issues from a slightly different perspective was Burrhus Frederic Skinner, the famous American psychologist. Skinner believed that free will was an illusion and that human behaviour was dependent on the consequences of previous actions. You can see where Skinner took these ideas too in his famous book Walden Two. Here he describes how it's possible to achieve an utopian society through the application of his beliefs on how behaviour can be controlled. This book can still be found and purchased on Amazon, but all I would say, before you rush out to buy it, is perhaps it is also worth remembering that Skinner was most famous for his experiments with rats.

First of all, I want to say thank you to all of our US Veterans! I appreciate your service...past and present. My dad was an Army Veteran. Tomorrow (Veterans Day) would have been my mom & dad's 45th wedding anniversary so it was always an extra special day for our family! Be sure to say thank you and show appreciation to the Veterans in your life. My kids made cards for the residents of the local Veterans home.
I also wanted to share a website. It's geared more for school age kids but parents / teacher's of younger children still might gain something useful from it. VA Kids
Also, this is a really simple but sweet flag that your child could make and hand deliver to a Veteran that you know. Veterans Day Flag Note.

Fall Leaf Art's and Crafts
Are you looking for some fun and easy fall projects? Take a nature walk and collect leaves with your children or students. Provide construction paper and glue to make leaf animals! Here are some great ideas to get you started. Let the children be creative and just have fun!
Leaf Animals
Here is another fun way to use some of the collected leaves. Provide some string and beads and have fun with Leaf Threading.
Of course, you can also make leaf rubbings. Lay a leaf between two pieces of paper, use the side of an unwrapped crayon and instruct the children to rub the crayon over the paper. The outline of the leaf will appear.
You can also make a leaf wreath. Provide one paper plate for each child. Cut the middle out of each plate. The children can glue leaves all over the plate. Add a string to hang your pretty fall leaf wreath.

The Mailbox Magazine. A Teacher Resource.
Back when I was a newer teacher, I used to subscribe to The Mailbox Magazine. It was a wonderful resource for teachers, filled with many cute and fun ideas. I haven't subscribed to that magazine in many years so I honestly don't know how much it's changed over the years. Today, I was thinking about how much I used to enjoy that magazine. I still have a few of my copies from the 1990's! For those not familiar, it was filled with ideas submitted by teachers. I went to their website to check it out and they are still offering them today. You can probably find them on the shelves in teachers stores if you want to page through one but they will likely be less expensive online. Here is the link to The Mailbox Magazine.

Kid's Favorite Homemade Potato Soup!
My kids really like my homemade potato soup so I thought I would share my recipe here. It's a great way to get them to eat a bunch of vegetables. I've been enjoying the cooler soup weather lately :) I rarely measure anything but I'll do my best to give you a good idea of how to make my soup. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Two large carrots peeled and chopped
About 12 medium to large potatoes peeled and chopped
1 stalk of celery rinsed and chopped
Dried Parsley
Favorite seasoning if desired (I like Zehnder's chicken seasoning)
Salt and pepper
Cream cheese (I use about 2 Tablespoons of Fat Free)
Milk (I use about 1/2 cup of 2% milk)
Butter (about 2 Tablespoons)
Chicken Broth (32 oz)
One small onion (chopped)
Yellow bell pepper (you could omit this, I normally don't put it in but I had about 1/4 of a pepper that needed to be used and it turned out to be a nice addition)
Shredded cheddar cheese (I used a couple handfuls)
Wash, peel & chop all veggies and add to a cooking pot. Pour chicken seasoning and milk over the veggies and add to stove top. Sprinkle seasonings, herbs and add butter if desired. Simmer for about 30 minutes or until tender enough to mash. When mashing veggies, you may want to leave a few chunks. I like ours this way. After mashing, add desired amounts of cream cheese and cheddar cheese (this will help thicken the soup). Enjoy!

Gluten Free / Wheat free Chocolate Chip Pancake Bar
I bought some allergy friendly pancake mix (Cherrybrook Kitchen, Gluten Free Dreams) and allergy friendly chocolate chips (Enjoy Life) and decided it would be fun to have a little chocolate chip pancake bar for a Sunday lunch. I set out some fresh raspberries, syrup, whipped cream, squeeze yogurt and dried fruits. Fresh blueberries and strawberries would have been great too but mine are frozen so I didn't bother with those. Really just about any fruit would probably be good. I told my kids they could serve themselves and decorate their pancakes anyway they wanted. They had a ton of fun creating but most of the fun was eating. They said it was better than going to a restaurant. I enjoyed eating them too! Above is a picture of my creation :) I was going to take pictures of the kids pancakes too but they started eating them before I had the chance!

Back to School Fun!
Those of you whose children have started school already (home school, private school, public school, etc...), any fun first week of school traditions? If you have yet to start, anything special planned? I know some people go out for a special treat after the first day of school. Every new school year, I like to give my children one small surprise for each day during the first week of school. I spend one day by myself shopping for inexpensive but fun little items and then I hide one item per day in their rooms or place it on their pillows. Usually the last day is the Grand Finale with two small things, a treat or an outing to celebrate the completion of the first week of school. It gives my kids something to be really excited about & look forward too after the school day is over. My mom did this for me when I was in Kindergarten and to this day, I have wonderful memories of it. I started this tradition with my kids the first week of Kindergarten too. They loved it so much that I decided to do it each new school year. If you do anything special, no matter how big or small, please share. I love hearing new ideas.

End of Summer and another new pet!
I hope everyone had a wonderful summer. We still have about a week left before a new routine is underway. School will start here on September 4th. We had a wonderful summer filled with many fun adventures and activities. It's always hard to get back into a routine after so many fun filled days and no alarm clocks. A couple highlights were a visit to a theme park and a week of vacation at our favorite cottage in northern Michigan . After a lot of pressure, I finally opened the box of our cotton candy maker this summer and made cotton candy for my kids and neighborhood friends. It was a pretty big deal. My twins were given the machine back in February as a birthday gift and I figured, if I'm not going to let them do it during the summer...when will I ever do it? It was a little messy but great fun for the kids. Our most exciting news is that we brought home a new furry family member about a week ago. A Rex bunny that my girls named Peppermint Twist. She is almost 5 weeks old and super soft and cute! She belongs to my twins and is supposed to be their responsibility. We will see how that goes. Our dog Charley is doing great with her but needs close supervision ;) We've also had a summer filled with doctor appointments. Allergy doctor, Pediatric Gastroenterologist and ENT doctor. One of my daughters struggles with terrible acid reflux and we are spending a lot of time & effort trying to get that issue cured. Both of my girls had their tonsils and adenoids out on August 23rd so they are currently recovering. They are eating lots of frozen treats and watching more movies than I would typically allow. They are also keeping me really busy waiting on them. I gave them bells to ring and they have done a good job milking it. So that is a quick recap of our summer. I would love to hear about some of your summer adventures too.

Dairy-free, soy free, gluten free and peanut free "ice-cream"
My daughter has some food allergies so it's always wonderful when we find good frozen treat alternatives for her. I'm going to give this super easy recipe a try. We have SunButter in the pantry and frozen bananas in the freezer. We're going to a birthday party today and since she can't have cake or ice cream, I think I might bring some along. A two ingredient "ice-cream" made with SunButter and frozen bananas. Doesn't get much easier. Enjoy! SunButter ice-cream

Enjoying Summer
What fun activities have you been doing this summer? It seems like my kids and I have been gone nearly everyday for the past few weeks. We've been trying to pack in play dates with friends we don't get to see often during the school year. We've done several picnics at parks, beach days & pool days. We've also been having fun getting good use out of our zoo and museum memberships. Have I told you lately how much I love memberships?!! They save me a lot of money. We went ice skating a couple weeks ago. That was something different and really fun for my kids. On hot days (we've had a LOT of really HOT days!) when we are at home, we bought a slip and slide that is great fun. My kids also love to get a pile of paintbrushes and buckets of water and invite friends over to "paint" the house, deck, patio, rocks, etc. I fill the kid pool up with water and let them go to town painting whatever their hearts desire. Fun stuff. It's great that kids are as happy as can be with simple summer pleasures such as a $15.00 pool, a $10.00 slip and slide and a pack of balloons from the dollar store. Add a few friends in the mix and it's a grand day! Some things we are still looking forward to doing: Blueberry picking, a vacation to a cottage on lake and a mommy/daughters trip to Shipshewana, Indiana. I need to get busy planning our girls trip! I would love to hear about some of your summer activities and adventures.

Family Friendly Movie Reviews
I enjoy watching movies with my kids but I'm very selective about the movies I will allow my children to watch. I'm thankful for movie review websites so we can better decide which ones are appropriate for our children. I wanted to pass along a couple of sites that I've found helpful.
I recently found this movie review website. It's called Box Office Mom
Another great site that I often use for movie reviews is Plugged In which is by Focus on the Family.

Valentine's Day Surprises!
This morning I surprised my kids with light up heart spinners and Valentine snow globes. They loved their surprises. My husband is working tonight but we're planning to go out for a nice lunch on a different day. Restaurants are too busy on Valentine's Day anyhow. Maybe I'll make heart shaped pancakes and strawberry banana fruit smoothies for dinner :) My kids will love that! Happy Valentine's Day!

Review of "Connect the Dots and Color" Android app
Earlier today I mentioned a preschool app being offered for free today in the Amazon Appstore for Android. I've had some time to use it now and wanted to offer up a quick review.
While the app has been getting mostly negative reviews (2 star average as of this writing) I actually thought better of it than that. I knew from reading the reviews that the main complaint was that the "connect-the-dot" pictures didn't start with the letter they were supposed to illustrate. (The letter E for instance uses a picture of a fire truck that incorporates the E structure into the connect-the-dot design.) Knowing this beforehand made it easier to deal with while exploring it. It's possible that it might be confusing for a preschooler but not as much as some reviewers seemed to think. Kids don't always think too deeply about the meanings that we adults assign to things.
Our seven year old daughters were very fascinated by the coloring of the pictures after they connected the dots. They blew through the whole alphabet and started over again with the numbers. They actually started arguing over whose turn it was to color. I would have assumed they were too old to have any interest in a game designed for preschool aged kids. I think in a similar way most preschoolers will easily overlook the fact that the pictures don't start with the letter being illustrated. This app will let them have some fun while gaining familiarity with letters and numbers.
Definitely get this game if only for the fact that it's free. You shouldn't be surprised though if your child ends up loving it and being fascinated by all the dot-connecting and coloring.
Free preschool app today (1/24) at Amazon.com
Amazon's Android app store has a free app every day. Today's free app is "Connect the Dots and Color". It's an app for preschoolers that helps with learning numbers and letters while letting them create art.
You can beat the price so I would head right over and pick it up before it goes back to $1.99!

Silly Snow Day Superstitions
Last night my twins wanted to flush ice-cubes down the toilet and make a wish for a snow day. They have some new Lego's that arrived via UPS yesterday and they have big plans to play with them today. They went all out and flushed ice cubes down 2 of our toilets and made a double wish. Well, guess what.....it's a snow day! Yeah for snow! They will be so excited.
What silly snow day superstitions have you heard of? I've also heard of sleeping with a spoon under the pillow and wearing pj's inside out & backwards. I'm not at all a superstitious person but I am a fan of having fun and being silly. I think we'll make some snow ice cream today :)

Fun with Boxes
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We enjoyed the holiday's very much. We did a lot of online shopping for Christmas presents this year. What this means is that we have an abundance of boxes. I think my kids enjoy boxes as much as the gifts inside (and sometimes more). They get so creative with boxes. Houses, cars, puppet theaters, doll houses, store fronts, treasure boxes, boats, drive-in- movie theaters, etc. These are just a few of the fun things my kids enjoy creating with boxes. I wonder at what age kids stop being entertained by boxes. If you have some fun ideas involving boxes, please share!

Powerful Killers Emerging on Our Streets!
America's Epidemic Isn't New
In the 1850s the United States had an epidemic problem with Opium addiction. The great medical minds of the time answered the call with a substitute drug that was considered to be "non-addictive" and less potent than Opium; that drugs name was Morphine. Heroin was first manufactured in the year 1898 by Bayer Pharmaceutical Company, a German company. Heroin was considered a treatment for tuberculosis and an answer for the Morphine addiction problem of that time. Heroin was considered as "non-addictive" at the time. When it was realized that Heroin was even more addictive than Morphine, the answer became a "non-addictive" drug that was developed by German scientists in 1937 called Dolophine, which was renamed. Methadone soon proved even more addictive than Heroin. Now we have Suboxone.
Analogs play a much bigger part in America's "Drug Epidemic" than most people think they do. I know other people in the treatment industry that have been saying the same thing all along. The bottom line is that analogs are here, they are powerful, and they kill. Anyone who buys illicit drugs on the street has to know that they are rolling the dice with their very life with every illegal drug that they swallow, smoke, snort, or inject.
Do Analogues Increase the Overdose Rate?
The thinking has been that Fentanyl analogs have been increasing the overdose rate of heroin users for some time If heroin is mixed with an analog, heroin just becomes an easy cause of death for the ME to write down. Who knows, maybe W-18 is responsible for more deaths in our Nation's opioid epidemic already than we could ever imagine? If law enforcement caught one shipment, how many shipments made it through onto our streets? It's a scary thought either way; think about it!
Analogue Drugs Are Here
The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been diligently investigating all of the increases in Fentanyl-related non-suicide overdose fatalities across multiple states in the US. Now these agencies will need to expand their efforts to include analog compounds such as
• Alfentanil also known as Alfenta, an ultra-short-acting analgesic.
• Sufentanil also known as Sufenta, a potent analgesic (five to ten times more potent than fentanyl)
• Remifentanil also known as Ultiva, currently the shortest-acting opioid.
• Carfentanil also known as Wildnil is an analog of fentanyl, 10,000 times stronger than morphine.
W-15 and W-18 These are U-opioid agonist with a distinctive chemical structure that does not seem related to any other family of opioid. W-18 is by far the more powerful of the two with bioavailability, half-life, tolerance, 10,000x more powerful than morphine vs. W-15 is 5.4 x stronger.
MT-45, which is about 80%, as strong as morphine.
AH-7921 an opioid analgesic also about 80% the strength of morphine.
U-47700 an opioid analgesic selective for the U-opioid receptor 7.5 times the potency of morphine.
Butyr-fentanyl or butyrylfentanyl is a synthetic opioid analgesic, an analog of Fentanyl, approximately .25% of the strength of Fentanyl.
Acetylfentanyl an analogue of fentanyl 40 times stronger than heroin, 80 times more potent than morphine, and 15 times less potent than fentanyl.
Designer Drugs
Designer drugs are structural or functional analogs of controlled substances; they mimic the effects of parent drugs while avoiding detection as illicit or illegal. These drugs are very dangerous. Often these don't show up on drug tests and can really throw a monkey wrench into research and statistics.
Getting Accurate Reports
When hospitals, emergency departments, medical examiners and coroners have fatal overdoses arrive in their facilities, are they screening for fentanyl in suspected opioid overdose incidents? If they are and the test comes back negative, fentanyl analogs should be suspected and tested for also. This is the only way that reporting as to the cause of death is accurate and complete. This is the only way for officials to get an understanding as to the truth of what is really taking place with the current drug epidemic. No longer is it just heroin that is claiming the lives of opiate users.
Fentanyl started showing up mixed in with Heroin, then W-18, now, Carfentanil also known as Wildnil is an analog of fentanyl, 10,000 times stronger than morphine is showing up as a killer of our youth. Education, awareness, and prevention are a must in the fight against this drug epidemic. Listed above are just a few of the many potent and potentially deadly illicit drugs that are emerging on the streets for our young people to use.

Addictions, What All Parents Need to Know to Survive the Drug Epidemic
by Rev. Kevin T. Coughlin, Ph.D. guides parents through the maze of treatment options, breaks down the question of what they really offer, and what signs they need to watch out for in their children's behavior. Most parents reading this will be shocked to find out how many street drugs, prescription drugs, new drugs, and old drugs are within reach of their children. This book even goes into depth about what those drugs look like, where they can be found, how they are made and how much they cost.
While the book is geared toward protecting and helping children, there is even a chapter on what parents should look out for in their own behavior. Afterall, enabling and other dysfunction can quietly creep into the familial experience.
The details in this book are invaluable for a parent struggling with a potentially addicted teen and offers plenty of empowerment through knowledge.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed documents from the Trump Organization as part of his investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, The New York Times reported on Thursday, citing two people briefed on the development.
Some of the documents are related to Russia, the sources said.
The subpoena is the first known instance of Mueller ordering the production of documents directly from President Donald Trump's business during his nearly yearlong investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
Trump has denounced the probe as a "WITCH HUNT!" and said in July that he would consider any investigation into his finances as crossing a red line.
"I think that's a violation," he said in a Times interview at the time. "Look, this is about Russia. So I think if he wants to go, my finances are extremely good, my company is an unbelievably successful company."
Mueller at the time had just asked Deutsche Bank, which has loaned the Trump Organization millions of dollars, to share information on accounts held by the Trump family.
A Trump Organization attorney said in a statement that the company continued to be "fully cooperative" with Mueller's investigation.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to comment, and deferred questions to the Trump Organization.
The president reportedly attempted to fire Mueller in June, but reconsidered, several outlets reported in January.

Win7 Virtual Machine on Win7
Hello All:
I run Win 7; I would like to install win 7 on Virtual Box.
Am I going to run into a snag when I try to activate the virtual Windows 7?
Will MS think I'm running it on two machines?
What are the licensing issues?

OEM won't install but a normal VL or "family" key will.

You can not activate an already activated Windows 7 on another computer. It's no difference if the other computer is a real, physical one or a virtual machine. Before installing an activated retail copy of Windows 7 to another computer, you should "deactivate" it first.
To deactivate Windows Seven, open an elevated command promt by right clicking Command Prompt in Start Menu > Accesories and choose Run as administrator. Tell system licence manager tool to uninstall current, activated product key by typing slmgr /upk to command prompt, like this:
When software licence manager has finished, you get the confirmation dialog. You also see a watermark on the lower right corner of your desktop telling that your Windows is no longer activated:
If you reboot your computer, you'll see this:
Windows is now completely deactivated, product key uninstalled and you should have no problems to re-activate it on another computer. Reminder: this works for retail version. OEM version can be deactivated using this same method but can only be re-activated on that same computer.

Linux CENTOS 7 / various Windows OS'es and servers
Hi there
OEM WILL install but it won't pass activation - so you would have to re-create your VM every 30 (or 3) days depending on the activation message.
You *might* be able to get an OEM version to work by doing a P2V (Physical to Virtual) conversion from the physical machine. It's possible in this case the activation will either not be requested or it will pass.

OK - there are a few myths in this thread that need to be exploded once and for all.... (since I got pointed here from another thread)
1) Family Pack Windows are ALL Upgrades, and cannot be used in isolation, particularly for installing into Virtual Machines of any kind - which require Full Licenses for each instance.
2) 'Uninstalling' the Key does NOT remove the activation from MS's database - all it does is prepare the current system for the entry of a new Key. MS will still 'see' the old install for comparison when the new install is activated. MS's database will still record the activation attempt, and the hardware hash (as it does ALL attempts at activation that get as far as its servers)
3) Activating a previously-used Key on another computer (or motherboard) will almost always require telephone activation.
4) OEM Licenses CANNOT be moved to another computer for any reason whatsoever - and can only be moved to a new motherboard when the board is repalced *under warranty conditions*.
I hope this clears some things up - PM me if you need specifics.

For instance this method method can be used to install an upgrade version of Seven to a virtual machine: Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version. And it's legal. Done that, been there, although didn't get the T-shirt
2) Own experience: an activated retail Seven Ultimate on an old Toshiba laptop. When Toshiba started dying, used the same key to activate Ultimate on a new HP laptop using Anytime Upgrade (HP came with Home Premium). It was a no go, even the automated phone activation was telling the key was used, waited almost 15 minutes to be connected to a real person. Did not want to wait anymore, put the phone down and used slmgr /upk (Software Licence Manager with Uninstall Product Key switch) on old Toshiba. Tried to activate HP with the same key, did not succeed. Waited for half an hour, tried again, succeeded.
3) See 2)
4) Nothing to add, although both Seven Forums and other forums have numerous stories from people who have had a good explanation and phone activation people have given them a code to use OEM key on another machine.

Published on November 23, 2016
On Tuesday, November 22, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas granted a nationwide preliminary injunction against enforcement of the Department of Labor rule increasing the salary level for overtime exempt employees to $921/week ($47,892/year) on December 1. Judge Mazzant ruled that the Department of Labor lacked authority under the Fair Labor Standards Act to impose a salary-level test or an automatic updating mechanism. The court reasoned that the statutory exemptions for executive, administrative and professional workers are focused on the workers' duties, not their pay level, and that the statute does not authorize the Department of Labor to impose the new rule which elevates the level of compensation over actual job duties. The result is that the salary level for exemptions remains at $455/week until the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals or the U.S. Supreme Court addresses the issue, which could take several months.

Fabian Castillo Loaned to Trabzonspor/
Fabian Castillo will no longer be committing his playing time to Major League Soccer. FC Dallas has loaned the 24-year-old Colombian winger to Turkish club Trabzonspor with an option to buy.
FC Dallas acquired an 18-year-old Castillo in March of 2011 from Deportivo Cali in Colombia, and Castillo made his debut for FC Dallas later that month. Castillo totaled 34 goals and 30 assists in MLS play in his six years as a FC Dallas player. Castillo found his footing under Oscar Pareja in 2014, becoming arguably one of the most exciting players in MLS and earning Colombian national team recognition. The Colombian tallied a career high in goals at 10 in his breakout campaign. The speedy and flashy winger tallied five goals and five assists in Dallas' 2016 campaign and was a notable All-Star snub.
The move comes as a surprise to a lot of FC Dallas fans with the air surrounding the political climate in Turkey, and with Castillo signing a new five-year deal through 2019 in February of 2015 with FC Dallas. FC Dallas technical director, Fernando Clavijo, also told 3rdDegree.net that Fabian Castillo had chosen to stay in Dallas after the rumors of a move to Trabzonspor surfaced on June 24th. The sum is especially surprising, but Trabzonspor have also been low on money recently as two players filed complaints against the club for not paying wages a few months back.

"I believe our words and thoughts have power, they create the life we intend to live. So as writer, I live by the rules to provide truth through my words, and to showcase self-care within my actions. Think brightly, and live accordingly."
I guess this is where I introduce myself. I'm Yetti, a twenty-something-year-old quickly approaching my thirties and l'm an introvert that has found solace in sharing on the internet. I've been blogging since the age of 15, when WordPress and Blogger didn't exist, and though my "niche" has changed once or twice, my passion for keeping it real has not. I write about the beauty and messiness of life. I write about the stuff no one ever wants to address or share. And sometimes, I simply write for my sanity. Here at YettiSays.com, you'll find my every struggles, blessings and truths.
Outside of blogging, I'm a lover of all things stationary, creative, and STEM-related. I'm also a beauty products junkie (not a guru) and that's something you may see me dabble in on my YouTube channel.
I love french toast, and I'm pretty sure Whitley from 'A Different World' is my spirit animal. I just sound less nasal and I'm not as annoying or boujie. But most importantly, I am an advocate for Mental Health Awareness and a firm believer in self-care and self-love. In fact, Mental-Health awareness is a huge part of my life, but you'll figure that out once you a read a few posts.
Welcome to YettiSays! I'm excited (and nervous, very nervous) to share my sacred space on the internet with you.
P.S - This now makes us friends.
Why Personal Blogging?
"Personal blogging is pure utter madness. Madness executed out of fear. It's fun but it's not. It's painful but rewarding. Tiring but exciting. It's therapy at my fingertips. Power in the sharpness of my tongue. It's my heart on my sleeve, and my mind on absolute display. It's not for portraying perfectionism, but more like showing the world that I can come undone and still conquer life with grace. It's not for saving face in moments of messiness and pain, but more so revealing the truth and beauty in tear stained cheeks and smudged mascara. Storytelling is writing with purpose and intention, and it takes a very brave soul to do it. Or someone that is scared shitless. I was the latter. I'm 14 years in, 7 different domain names, and a blog that screams my unapologetic truth, and I am still the latter."

It's that time of the year again. The point where everyone goes gaga for some of the best new acts around, all ready to put their stamp on the next twelve months.
Last year, DIY were tipping Years & Years, Hinds (FKA Deers), Tobias Jesso Jr and Jack Garratt for greatness as part of our Class of 2015. You can't predict everything (like #piggate, for instance), but we're giving it a go. This time round, we've put together a bright, mostly bonkers bunch of acts – all bands we're not going to shut up about.
The Class of 2016 is led by Rat Boy, a peerless Essex troubadour who does everything on his terms. From graffiti'ed artwork to game-changing singles, he's thrown himself into the spotlight. We get to know Jordan Cardy as he readies himself for 2016 domination.
Fourteen acts make up this year's Class Of. There's the party-starting fever of Formation, superstar-in-waiting Alessia Cara, future pop experimentalist The Japanese House. Yak are one of the best live bands in the country, and they're backed by Neu Tour buddies Inheaven, The Big Moon and VANT.
Partybaby have just two tracks to their name, but the Californians have an incredible story, its starting point being unsuccessful writing sessions for Christina Aguilera. Creeper are also bringing the noise, while Brighton's Black Honey and The Magic Gang are bringing a devilish game to the table. We get colourful with Oscar, and Nao steps out of the fog as one of 2016's surefire stars.
Get to know 2016's most exciting new acts in our new jam-packed issue – its out this Friday (4th December), with an increased print run to widen distribution.


text: Immunization to protect infants and children from vaccine-preventable diseases is one of the greatest achievements of public health. The Immunization Safety Review Committee was established by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to evaluate the evidence on possible causal associations between immunizations and certain adverse outcomes and to then present conclusions and recommendations. The committee's mandate also includes assessing the broader significance for society of these immunization safety issues. Vaccines interact with the immune system to produce an immune response similar to that produced by the natural infection, but they do not cause the disease or put the immunized person at risk of its potential complications.

Why use our qualified arborists?
Our solutions
Don't waste time and energy trying to remove a stubborn stump – our impressive grinder will handle it effectively and efficiently. We can completely remove the stump and all its roots, guaranteeing no further growth or issues in a matter of minutes.
Whether it's formative pruning for good tree health and structure, tip pruning to reduce the weight of branches, or removal of dangerous limbs and deadwood, we can do it all.
We operate with an ultra-careful, safety-first approach and use only the most up to date tools and rigging systems to ensure no buildings or gardens are damaged while trees are being removed piece by piece.
No matter the size of your hedge, we can trim it to your liking be it for decorative purposes or more functional reasons like screening or fencing.
Do you have a favourite tree but it's in the wrong spot? We can move established trees to better location so you can continue to enjoy it for decades to come.
Not all troublesome trees have to be immediately removed or taken apart – in many cases our experts can install cables and bolt systems to stabilise and reinforce the stem or limb ensuring it has the strength to continue standing.
We specialise in preparing reports for council permits, general tree health or assessments for potentially dangerous trees.
Your tree and garden will appreciate a thick layer of mulch to prevent water evaporation from the soil. Mulch keeps the ground moist so roots can take advantage of all the good nutrients. We can deliver up to 7 cubic meters for your garden. (As we are trained arborists we are aware of weed species and do not sell loads of mulch which may be contaminated with unwanted seeds etc.)
