The hands are white gold with red tips and paired with a group of rhodium-plated indicators to complement the blue PVD and reddish color scheme I mentioned earlier. The identical color scheme are located in the power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock, which I found to be a lively touch considering just how much of an afterthought most power book indications seem to be in additional timepieces.Roger Dubuis paired the Excalibur Quatuor Cobalt MicroMelt using a blue alligator leather strap comprising red stitching and a Grade 5 titanium clasp. While I can not really remember the last time I found an alligator strap with stitched accents, I found the matching color scheme for a nice touch that brought even more balance to the watch.This is really Roger Dubuis doing what they do best – creating intricately sporty horological miracles that experiment with new materials. It's a luxury based on theatrical design and material innovation. Additionally, it is a watch that almost all of us will never get to call our own, since they are only making 8 of them at a price of 390,000 CHF.Limited versions in the world of luxury watches are absolutely commonplace. When you start talking about watches that are a limited release, and limited to a particular country, things sometimes get interesting. This frequently takes the kind of a watch that is available only via a boutique that resides in said country.
Driven by the passion for cutting-edge technological complexity shared by Roger Dubuis Watches Replica Replica and Lamborghini Squadra Corse, the ultra high-performance Excalibur Aventador S Blue live up to the partnerships "Powered by Raging Mechanics" signature. This model is propelled by the specially developed and impressive Duotor (double balance wheels) concept in a totally revamped 312-part RD103SQ movement. This calibre is notably distinguished by engine strut bars revisiting the iconic Roger Dubuis Astral Skeleton principle, striking an astounding contrast with the rest of the movement, as if the engine 'hood' were transparent. Recalling the performance-enhancing longitudinal placement of Lamborghini engines tailored to the design of the sleek, streamlined cars, the double balance wheel is inclined at a similar angle, supported and highlighted by holders shaped like triangular wheel suspension assemblies. This exclusive Roger Dubuis movement embodies an ongoing evolution of the Maison's impressive expertise, entirely reinterpreted to suit this proud automobile alliance.

Akin to its 2017 eight-piece limited edition "Arancio Argos" predecessor, the highly exclusive Excalibur Adventador S Blue is crafted from the same C-SMC carbon as that used on the actual Lamborghini cars. As the ultimate indication of its royal bloodline, it offers a true-blue experience with a black and Neptune blue bi-material strap, blue rubber over-moulding on the case and crown, and blue markings on the fluted carbon bezel.

This high-octane launch also herald the firing of the gun in February for the Super Trofeo Championship 2018: the legendary Lamborghini one-make series of which Roger Dubuis is a main sponsor. The Excalibur Aventador S is limited to 88 pieces and its price amounts to CHF 180,000.

Elementary Gets New Playground Equipment
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The Thayer Elementary School recently received new playground equipment. It was opened on the 16th of November. Jason Andrews, Thayer's elementary principal said the school board and superintendent decided that the elementary finally needed some advancements on the playground. "Most of the playground equipment that we were using was actually transported from the old elementary school on 6th Street, so we obviously needed to make some updates," said Andrews.
"It took longer than expected for our order to be completed however, after we received the equipment the installation process went quickly. We considered asking volunteers to help install the equipment but, after reading the installation manual and observing the amount of digging and concrete that was needed, we chose to have it professionally installed. We chose Roger Foley's construction company and they were wonderful to work with," Andrews said.
The elementary also installed a new swing set however, they are waiting to receive some of the seats. "I am hopeful the new swing set will be open when we return from Thanksgiving Break," said Andrews.
"The students watched the installation process from start to finish, so you can only imagine how eager they were to finally get to play on the equipment. I believe this equipment will last for years to come and I am optimistic that our students will benefit from the physical activity they will receive. I would also like to thank Mr. Orf and the Vo-Ag students for removing some of the older pieces of equipment," Andrews said.

This One Burned Up, But What About The Next One?
We know that asteroids and comets can occasionally get shifted into an orbit that puts them on a collision path with earth. Most of them burn up in the atmosphere. Who is looking for them and how do they do it? I'll explain.

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are known to act as collection points for a variety of contaminates such as mold, mildew, bacteria, dust mites, animal dander, and a collection of other irritants that have the potential to affect your health. These contaminates circulate in the air you breath creating an environment that is on average 3-7 times more polluted than the air outside. This poses a major health risk to everyone. Using our patented, state of the art cleaning equipment, we remove these contaminates not just from registers and vents, but also from the ducts and air handling units themselves.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has listed poor indoor air quality as America's fourth largest environmental threat. In a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust is created annually through everyday living. Through normal occupation in a home, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, including dander, dust and chemicals. This accumulation can be the cause of a variety of problems, including increased need for dusting, poor heating and cooling performance and musty odors.
Our goal is to remove all the dirt and dust present. The General Duct System and Abatement Vacuum Systems are among the most powerful available in the air duct cleaning industry.
It's a good time to have your air ducts cleaned if you see or experience the following:
- Remodeling or reconstruction work done in the home
- Recent water, fire or smoke damage
- Cigarette or cigar smokers in the house
- Occupants with allergies or asthma
- Dirty vents or air returns
- Higher than usual utility bills
Our reputation ensures that you can trust Duraclean to provide you with the best service experience ever… Read what our customers have to say on our Testimonials Page »
We are experienced in all methods of cleaning. Duraclean is known for being able to solve cleaning related problems that no one else can.

I can't believe that 2017 is right around the corner, literally! This year felt as though it's creaked by and then sped up to a ridiculous speed around August so I am kind of breathless as I think about what's next for the new year. No lies, I am relieved to say goodbye to 2016. It's been a lot of life, and I could deal with setting life to a "cruise control" mode and just enjoying time.
I am pretty excited for 2017 but not in the way that I am usually excited for the new year. Normally, I have very itemized goals that I want to achieve. There are lists. There are expectations and I usually fall short. Last year, I swore that I was going to take better care of myself. In a way, I followed through with allowing myself to heal. However, on the other hand, I didn't follow through with what I truly had in mind. Baby weight loss, channeling my inner fashionista, eating the way I am supposed to, getting out more. I still have residual baby weight, I don't always dress for the day (or leave the house), and I am eating chocolate wafer cookies as I write this. #winning
This year, I want to try something a little different, an intention, and my intention is to evolve. I thought that the ELL definition on the Merriam-Webster website was perfect for what I want to achieve this year. It states, 'to change or develop slowly often into a better, more complex, or more advanced state : to develop by a process of evolution." Simply stated, I just want to be better. A better person, a better wife, a better mother, a better friend, a better blogger, a better sewer, etc. I want to continue personal growth and development. Of course, being the list making person that I am, I do have tangible goals to accompany this, but they're fluid and aren't constricted to a timeline so I'm not going to share them out loud. The main priority is to focus on growth and a positive forward movement. There is always room for improvement and learning so I am really excited to experience the upcoming year with an openness to learn and grow from whatever comes my way. I'm really digging how personal intentions are and I think they may be something that will stick.
Now that we've tackled the intention for 2017, let's recap on the last year as we say goodbye to 2016! Of course, there's no better way to say goodbye to the year than with a best nine. So, without further ado, here are the posts that made the best nine!
Truly, I am humbled to even have a best nine on my blog or that anyone takes the time to read this little space on the internet. It's mind blowing that you enjoy seeing my projects and have followed along throughout this CRAZY, CRAZY year. You guys are amazing.
Thank you for reading and see you in 2017!
- Brittany

text: As the title says - I'm trying to do an in-place upgrade of Win 8 VL Ent to Win 8.1 (or 8.1 Update 1). Reasons for in-place don't matter but if curious: the situation isn't one where users will have issues if it's not clean installed, the hassle of reinstalling and reconfiguring to how they had it, and also they're keeping Kaspersky 2013 which is compatible after an 8.1 upgrade but blocked by the installer upon fresh install (go figure!). They are in exactly the situation so many posts complained about with the upgrade process - 4 person site using Enterprise VL because of useful features, and no IT department. As a friend, I'm their "go-to" guy when they get stuck. There are dozens of threads on this issue, most of them say an old-style in-place offline upgrade is possible using the correct 8.1 media, or after in-place "upgrading" to W8 non-VL. That's what I'd like to learn how to do. All the pages I read say it's possible but I've failed each attempt and spent a day so far trying to solve it. Tried so far: Downloaded "en_windows_8.1_enterprise_with_update_x64_dvd_4065178.iso", checked hash, unpacked it and run setup.exe - says "no upgrade path". Tried the suggestion in many threads of "setup /auto:upgrade" - says "unknown command-line option". Tried the same with plain 8.1 rather than 8.1 update. Same. A number of threads say to run the ISO off a USB stick or DVD, and not from an unpacked folder. AFAIK an in-place upgrade in Windows 8 has to be from within Windows, meaning the "/auto:upgrade" option will still be absent (doesn't magically appear just because the file is now on a USB stick, I guess). So I haven't tried this as it's not clear what I'd have to do differently, or if this needs some specific version of the install media I don't have. Tried the hint at blog.williamhilsum.com/2014/03/how-to-upgrade-windows-8-volume-license.html (text link only) to downgrade from VL to retail using default keys, I get an error described by "slui.exe 0x2a 0xc004f069" (doesn't say much but that's what I got) Tried to find a log of the exact issue. Setupact.log and setuperr.log don't show anything relevant except: "Failed to change the UI language to en-US" and "Failed to load en-US resources with error 2. Will load fallback binaries": I'm using en-GB here but both that and en-US are installed on the system? Not clear if this has anything to do with the problem though. It would help immensely if someone could set out clearly, the exact steps needed to do an in-place offline upgrade from 8 Ent VL to 8.1 or 8.1 Update of the same edition. If I need some magical exact version of a Windows ISO which one(s)? I feel dumb for asking but I've found no thread that sets these steps out and has actually worked for me. It's clear that it's flummoxed a lot of people but also posts suggest that it should be straightforward given the right install media version, or the right magic....?

That sign was just randomly placed on the drive from Aberystwyth to Swansea. We passed it all the time and as it got closer to my year I just had to stop and take a picture. I don't know what it is the halfway point for, but it's halfway!
Man I hope Dad is still in the teachers quorum next year so that I can go up to camp with him when I get back! That would be super fun! But it's sounds like he had a great time, and I'm sure the boys loved it. Dad is a great young men's leader, I'm so grateful that I had the chance to have him as my leader. Some of my best memories and learning moments from my Dad where on those camps. Love you paps!
Congratulations my dearly beloved brother Nathan on becoming a student doctor! What a cool thing that I get to tell people. Ha ha, my brother is a doctor well kinda. But now that you are a doctor it's time to shave your face a get a haircut! I love you but bro come on, ha ha!
I saw recently on the front page of a newspaper an article that said, "Utah on high alert and Drivers are being Cautioned to stay off the Roads," as I kept reading it told a story about a crazy teenager who recently took to the roads named Emma. I'm not sure if it's you Ems but be careful out there! Try not to kill anyone okay?
Here's an update on Lin. Lin is absolutely amazing like sooo prepared and elect! We taught him the restoration and he literally freaked out, I kid you not he was pretty much speechless. It was truly incredible for me to get to teach someone with so much humility and desire to follow God. All he wants in the world is to find the right church and to live the way that God wants him to live. We set a date for him to be baptized in the first lesson and hopefully he will make that date. He is set to be baptized on the 16th of this month, so pray that he will make it to church this week and next. Also that all will go smoothly as we teach the lessons rather quickly in the next two weeks! He is such a miracle and I'm so thankful that the Lord put him into our path.
These last two weeks I've had the chance as the district leader to interview two people for baptism. What an amazing experience. Truly a testimony builder to me to see these amazing and humble people desiring to come into the fold of God. What a privilege it is to help them along the way. The first was a few weeks ago and his name is Roy. He's a cool dude. The second was this last Saturday and his name is Ming. Attached is a picture of me and Ming. I honestly think that I learned more in that interview than Ming would ever learn from me. An interesting thing that the branch president in Aberystwyth told me, he said that 100% of the people who truly know how to repent get baptized. I can testify that that is true. When someone really repents, they are humble enough to listen for the answers that God is giving them. Ming knows how to repent.
|Ming at his baptism
These are two of the members in my ward. Doesn't the one on the right
look like Jamie's husband John?? I thought so, ha ha!
Well I hope ya'll have a great week!
Love You Bwts (butts/friends),

I can't believe how quickly three weeks went by. We had an amazing time in New Zealand, Australia, and the Kingdom of Tonga. The first two points were more "transit stops" than destinations, but I managed to completely fall in love with the kiwi lifestyle and am scheming ways to move down there! Sydney was also good - but the highlight of our trip was 11 days of sailing in Tonga. There's just too much to tell about it, but suffice to say, we all had a wonderful time.
So, we're rested, relaxed, and ready to start working again next week. But, since it's a holiday weekend, this leaves me time to get acquainted with the box of fresh veggies dropped of by my CSA. I've bought a weekly delivery of fresh veggies and I think that the quantities should be more than sufficient for the two of us. This week, we got:
Romaine Lettuce
Red Leaf Lettuce
Red Russian Kale (this is a new one for me!)
Spring Bunched Carrots
Spring Onions
Green Garlic (also a rare treat)
I've been casting about for a recipe for the kale - and so far haven't been really taken by any of them. At a minimum, I'll be stuffing myself with salads for the next few days!
Happy long weekend everyone! It's great to be home.

Day off? And it's sunny? Off we go then! Gotta love day trips from Dublin. So this time (few weeks ago ho ho) we got on the train and went to the suburbs of Dublin. Originally a fishing village in Dublin bay – Howth (Binn Éadair for all you irish enthusiasts) is such a lovely place! Soundtrack of not just this place, but the whole Ireland is seagulls screaming their lungs out, just so you'll know. There are few cliff walks from which you can choose from and we decided to take the shortest one. I was quite happy with the choice, might be my poor choice of shoes or my out-of-shapeness, we'll never know.
First stop – Howth market that is open every weekend, for a lovely piece of jewelry, old street signs in Irish, happy full belly or just to satisfy your sweet tooth. After that a stroll down the bay. There's a small island close to Howth called Ireland's Eye where nobody lives, but you can get there by boat and see that there's nothing on the island except for a small tower.
My watering mouth didn't allow me to stay around here for long…
I prefer seagulls to pidgeons. Also none of them fellows shat on me so far. Yiha!
This guy just had to parked his awesome car just when I took the photo, thanks bro.
Chillin' killin' in the sun.
The Ireland's Eye in the background.
Bunch of people enjoying the sun while listening to a street performer. Mmmmm….
As you may see it wasn't as warm as one might think, so scarf is a must for a freezing person like myself.
It's unbelievable how beautiful the walk was, Even though the whole Ireland is green pretty much throughout the whole year it still fascinates me. Blue and green and green and blue. Up the hill we go! I have to admit I took soooo many photos because I wanted to rest for a bit and taking photos is a perfect excuse muhahaha! The road itself took us about 2 and a half hours as I recall, but a chitchat and a joke here and there and time flies like a mad seagull on steroids.
I could totally have a summer house somewhere around here…
I don't get it how I always seem to look like a giant. I come in M size tho. All the photographers say "Cheeeeeeese!"
Totally felt like we're walking to Mordor. Or taking the hobbits to Isengard. Flower child.
At one point I thought I was going to fall off this thing."Oopsy Daisy" kind of sign.
Lunch with a view like this. Our lunchboxes (yes, lunchboxes, that's how I live now) were empty in five minutes. There's Baily lighthouse visible in the distance, with all the fog and mysteriousness it really looked like the lighthouse from The ring, as one of the girls pointed out and ruined a perfect picture of a lovely lonely lighthouse. Thanks! 😀
All in all it was grand, even though if you know me, I'm not the biggest fan of hiking. And by not the biggest I mean the smallest possible. Till next time Howth and believe me, there will be next time!

What: Shares of Allied World Assurance Co Holdings (NYSE:AWH) were trading down about 11% at 3 p.m. EST as the market digested its disappointing fourth-quarter results.
So what: Allied World Assurance reported net income of $1.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2015. Operating income, which excludes gains and losses on the company's investment portfolio and foreign exchange losses, was $43 million, or $0.47 per share, compared to the consensus estimate of $0.59 per share.
Net premiums earned of $622.8 million also fell short of analysts' expectations of $646.3 million during the fourth quarter.
Now what: The company will hold a conference call to discuss the quarter on Thursday, but in the press release, the company quoted CEO Scott Carmilani, who said that "2015 was a challenging year, marked by a difficult underwriting environment and financial market volatility."
Notably, the company's full-year combined ratio of 95.1% was nearly 10 percentage points higher than in 2014. Though the financial markets weren't directly responsible for the company's miss -- fluctuations in its portfolio are not included in operating income, which is the figure analysts watch most closely -- they certainly didn't help. The company earned a paltry 0.1% on its investment portfolio, due to realized losses that consumed much of the yield it earned from a bond-heavy portfolio.

I wanted to put together a few tips to help you advocate and approach the subject of Cloth Diapers in you local daycares!
Before you go in "like a bat outta hell" trying to prove cloth diapering point, have your facts straight. Know you own state's laws and guidelines in regards to cloth diapering in daycares. Ask the daycare if there is a current policy in effect for cloth diapers, and if there is a policy, read it through and ask questions. Be prepared. Play devil's advocate with yourself...or have someone else play with you. Run through the potential "what if " questions you might get:
- It it sanitary to use cloth diapers?
- What do I do with the diapers when they are soiled?
- What if I put the diaper on wrong?
- It is too messy.
- "I would love to show you how my cloth diapers work."
- "I was wondering if you would be open to learning about how I use my cloth diapers."
- "I would really like to show you how easy cloth diapering can be."
- "I would prefer to use cloth diapers because...(list benefits - this may intrigue them)"
Make it Easy for Them.
Yeah, they are on board! What do you do next? Provide the Daycare with everything they will need to cloth diaper your child. This includes patience, as it is a learning process.
- Your most User Friendly Diapers (Pockets, AIO, and AI2 tend to be the easiest to use)
- Aplix tends to be easier to use than snaps
- Large Wetbag for all the soiled diapers
- Cloth Diaper Safe Rash Ointment
- A typed up list of any questions or reminders you may want to share
- Show the Daycare how the diapers work, answer any questions for them
|Pic Credit
Do you have any other tips that would be helpful for those in daycares or thinking about approaching a daycare about cloth diapers?

that were together saw, and a third that saw not; and, _though I
could see nothing_, there was such a fright and trembling on those that
did see, that was discernible to all from those that saw not. There was
a gentleman standing next to me who spoke as too many gentlemen and
others speak, who said, 'A pack of damned witches and warlocks that have
the second sight! the devil ha't do I see;' and immediately there was a
discernible change in his countenance. With as much fear and trembling
as any woman I saw there, he called out, 'All you that do not see, say
nothing; for I persuade you it is matter of fact, and discernible to all
that is not stone-blind.' And those who did see told what works (_i.e._,
locks) the guns had, and their length and wideness, and what handles the
swords had, whether small or three-barr'd, or Highland guards, and the
closing knots of the bonnets, black or blue; and those who did see them
there, whenever they went abroad, saw a bonnet and a sword drop in the
[Footnote 1: Walker's "Lives," Edinburgh, 1827, vol. i. p. xxxvi. It is
evident that honest Peter believed in the apparition of this martial
gear on the principle of Partridge's terror for the ghost of Hamlet--not
that he was afraid himself, but because Garrick showed such evident
marks of terror.]
This singular phenomenon, in which a multitude believed, although only
two-thirds of them saw what must, if real, have been equally obvious to
all, may be compared with the exploit of the humourist, who planted
himself in an attitude of astonishment, with his eyes riveted on the
well-known bronze lion that graces the front of Northumberland House in
the Strand, and having attracted the attention of those who looked at
him by muttering, "By heaven it wags! it wags again!" contrived in a few
minutes to blockade the whole street with an immense crowd, some
conceiving that they had absolutely seen the lion of Percy wag his tail,
others expecting' to witness the same phenomenon.
On such occasions as we have hitherto mentioned, we have supposed that
the ghost-seer has been in full possession of his ordinary powers of
perception, unless in the case of dreamers, in whom they may have been
obscured by temporary slumber, and the possibility of correcting
vagaries of the imagination rendered more difficult by want of the
ordinary appeal to the evidence of the bodily senses. In other respects
their blood beat temperately, they possessed the ordinary capacity of
ascertaining the truth or discerning the falsehood of external
appearances by an appeal to the organ of sight. Unfortunately, however,
as is now universally known and admitted, there certainly exists more
than one disorder known to professional men of which one important
symptom is a disposition to see apparitions.
This frightful disorder is not properly insanity, although it is
somewhat allied to that most horrible of maladies, and may, in many
constitutions, be the means of bringing it on, and although such
hallucinations are proper to both. The difference I conceive to be that,
in cases of insanity, the mind of the patient is principally affected,
while the senses, or organic system, offer in vain to the lunatic their
decided testimony against the fantasy of a deranged imagination. Perhaps
the nature of this collision--between a disturbed imagination and organs
of sense possessed of their usual accuracy--cannot be better described
than in the embarrassment expressed by an insane patient confined in the
Infirmary of Edinburgh. The poor man's malady had taken a gay turn. The
house, in his idea, was his own, and he contrived to account for all
that seemed inconsistent with his imaginary right of property--there
were many patients in it, but that was owing to the benevolence of his
nature, which made him love to see the relief of distress. He went
little, or rather never abroad--but then his habits were of a domestic
and rather sedentary character. He did not see much company--but he
daily received visits from the first characters in the renowned medical
school of this city, and he could not therefore be much in want of
society. With so many supposed comforts around him--with so many visions
of wealth and splendour--one thing alone disturbed the peace of the poor
optimist, and would indeed have confounded most _bons vivants_. "He was
curious," he said, "in his table, choice in his selection of cooks, had
every day a dinner of three regular courses and a dessert; and yet,
somehow or other, everything he eat _tasted of porridge_." This dilemma
could be no great wonder to the friend to whom the poor patient
communicated it, who knew the lunatic eat nothing but this simple
aliment at any of his meals. The case was obvious. The disease lay in
the extreme vivacity of the patient's imagination, deluded in other
instances, yet not absolutely powerful enough to contend with the honest
evidence of his stomach and palate, which, like Lord Peter's brethren in
"The Tale of a Tub," were indignant at the attempt to impose boiled
oatmeal upon them, instead of such a banquet as Ude would have displayed
when peers were to partake of it. Here, therefore, is one instance of
actual insanity, in which the sense of taste controlled and attempted to
restrain the ideal hypothesis adopted by a deranged imagination. But the
disorder to which I previously alluded is entirely of a bodily
character, and consists principally in a disease of the visual organs,
which present to the patient a set of spectres or appearances which have
no actual existence. It is a disease of the same nature which renders
many men incapable of distinguishing colours; only the patients go a
step further, and pervert the external form of objects. In their case,
therefore, contrary to that of the maniac, it is not the mind, or rather
the imagination, which imposes upon and overpowers the evidence of the
senses, but the sense of seeing (or hearing) which betrays its duty and
conveys false ideas to a sane intellect.
More than one learned physician, who have given their attestations to
the existence of this most distressing complaint, have agreed that it
actually occurs, and is occasioned by different causes. The most
frequent source of the malady is in the dissipated and intemperate
habits of those who, by a continued series of intoxication, become
subject to what is popularly called the Blue Devils, instances of which
mental disorder may be known to most who have lived for any period of
their lives in society where hard drinking was a common vice. The joyous
visions suggested by intoxication when the habit is first acquired, in
time disappear, and are supplied by frightful impressions and scenes,
which destroy the tranquillity of the unhappy debauchee. Apparitions of
the most unpleasant appearance are his companions in solitude, and
intrude even upon his hours of society: and when by an alteration of
habits, the mind is cleared of these frightful ideas, it requires but
the slightest renewal of the association to bring back the full tide of
misery upon the repentant libertine.
Of this the following instance was told to the author by a gentleman
connected with the sufferer. A young man of fortune, who had led what is
called so gay a life as considerably to injure both his health and
fortune, was at length obliged to consult the physician upon the means
of restoring, at least, the former. One of his principal complaints was
the frequent presence of a set of apparitions, resembling a band of
figures dressed in green, who performed in his drawing-room a singular
dance, to which he was compelled to bear witness, though he knew, to his
great annoyance, that the whole _corps de ballet_ existed only in his
own imagination. His physician immediately informed him that he had
lived upon town too long and too fast not to require an exchange to a
more healthy and natural course of life. He therefore prescribed a
gentle course of medicine, but earnestly recommended to his patient to
retire to his own house in the country, observe a temperate diet and
early hours, practising regular exercise, on the same principle avoiding
fatigue, and assured him that by doing so he might bid adieu to black
spirits and white, blue, green, and grey, with all their trumpery. The
patient observed the advice, and prospered. His physician, after the
interval of a month, received a grateful letter from him, acknowledging
the success of his regimen. The greens goblins had disappeared, and with
them the unpleasant train of emotions to which their visits had given
rise, and the patient had ordered his town-house to be disfurnished and
sold, while the furniture was to be sent down to his residence in the
country, where he was determined in future to spend his life, without
exposing himself to the temptations of town. One would have supposed
this a well-devised scheme for health. But, alas! no sooner had the
furniture of the London drawing-room been placed in order in the gallery
of the old manor-house, than the former delusion returned in full force:
the green _figurantes_, whom the patient's depraved imagination had so
long associated with these moveables, came capering and frisking to
accompany them, exclaiming with great glee, as if the sufferer should
have been rejoiced to see them, "Here we all are--here we all are!" The
visionary, if I recollect right, was so much shocked at their
appearance, that he retired abroad, in despair that any part of Britain
could shelter him from the daily persecution of this domestic ballet.
There is reason to believe that such cases are numerous, and that they
may perhaps arise not only from the debility of stomach brought on by
excess in wine or spirits, which derangement often sensibly affects the
eyes and sense of sight, but also because the mind becomes habitually
predominated over by a train of fantastic visions, the consequence of
frequent intoxication; and is thus, like a dislocated joint, apt again
to go wrong, even when a different cause occasions the derangement.
It is easy to be supposed that habitual excitement by means of any other
intoxicating drug, as opium, or its various substitutes, must expose
those who practise the dangerous custom to the same inconvenience. Very
frequent use of the nitrous oxide which affects the senses so strongly,
and produces a short but singular state of ecstasy, would probably be
found to occasion this species of disorder. But there are many other
causes which medical men find attended with the same symptom, of
embodying before the eyes of a patient imaginary illusions which are
visible to no one else. This persecution of spectral deceptions is also
found to exist when no excesses of the patient can be alleged as the
cause, owing, doubtless, to a deranged state of the blood or nervous
The learned and acute Dr. Ferriar of Manchester was the first who
brought before the English public the leading case, as it may be called,
in this department, namely, that of Mons. Nicolai, the celebrated
bookseller of Berlin. This gentleman was not a man merely of books, but
of letters, and had the moral courage to lay before the Philosophical
Society of Berlin an account of his own sufferings, from having been, by
disease, subjected to a series of spectral illusions. The leading
circumstances of this case may be stated very shortly, as it has been
repeatedly before the public, and is insisted on by Dr. Ferriar, Dr.
Hibbert, and others who have assumed Demonology as a subject. Nicolai
traces his illness remotely to a series of disagreeable incidents which
had happened to him in the beginning of the year 1791. The depression of
spirits which was occasioned by these unpleasant occurrences, was aided
by the consequences of neglecting a course of periodical bleeding which
he had been accustomed to observe. This state of health brought on the
disposition to see _phantasmata_, who visited, or it may be more
properly said frequented, the apartments of the learned bookseller,
presenting crowds of persons who moved and acted before him, nay, even
spoke to and addressed him. These phantoms afforded nothing unpleasant
to the imagination of the visionary either in sight or expression, and
the patient was possessed of too much firmness to be otherwise affected
by their presence than with a species of curiosity, as he remained
convinced from the beginning to the end of the disorder, that these
singular effects were merely symptoms of the state of his health, and
did not in any other respect regard them as a subject of apprehension.
After a certain time, and some use of medicine, the phantoms became less
distinct in their outline, less vivid in their colouring, faded, as it
were, on the eye of the patient, and at length totally disappeared.
The case of Nicolai has unquestionably been that of many whose love of
science has not been able to overcome their natural reluctance to
communicate to the public the particulars attending the visitation of a
disease so peculiar. That such illnesses have been experienced, and have
ended fatally, there can be no doubt; though it is by no means to be
inferred, that the symptom of importance to our present discussion has,
on all occasions, been produced from the same identical cause.
Dr. Hibbert, who has most ingeniously, as well as philosophically,
handled this subject, has treated it also in a medical point of view,
with science to which we make no pretence, and a precision of detail to
which our superficial investigation affords us no room for extending
The visitation of spectral phenomena is described by this learned
gentleman as incidental to sundry complaints; and he mentions, in
particular, that the symptom occurs not only in plethora, as in the case
of the learned Prussian we have just mentioned, but is a frequent hectic
symptom--often an associate of febrile and inflammatory
disorders--frequently accompanying inflammation of the brain--a
concomitant also of highly excited nervous irritability--equally
connected with hypochondria--and finally united in some cases with gout,
and in others with the effects of excitation produced by several gases.
In all these cases there seems to be a morbid degree of sensibility,
with which this symptom is ready to ally itself, and which, though
inaccurate as a medical definition, may be held sufficiently descriptive
of one character of the various kinds of disorder with which this
painful symptom may be found allied.
A very singular and interesting illustration of such combinations as Dr.
Hibbert has recorded of the spectral illusion with an actual disorder,
and that of a dangerous kind, was frequently related in society by the
late learned and accomplished Dr. Gregory of Edinburgh, and sometimes, I

If you follow me on instagram then you already know that Friday was our first real snow day in Japan! They had been talking about the snow all week but since the weather forecast said that it would never get below 45 degrees we never thought it would really stick. We were wrong! It snowed all day and stuck just enough for us to enjoy the view from our windows and play in it.
We played inside during the day because Logan was adamant that daddy couldn't miss his first Japan snow fun but when he got home.......boy was it fun!
There was an epic snowball fight
I got photo bombed and ambushed by Logan during my winter wonderland picture (RUDE!)
and then I got a snowball right to the eye courtesy of my wonderful husband. Don't worry there was a massive amount of payback
Overall it was really fun and a good way to spend an hour outside with my guys
Once we got inside and took of our jackets the boys didn't rest for a minute before they started building. Logan loooooves spending time with his dad now that he is home and they are always building Lego towers and homes.
I was pooped from running away from snowball attacks so we went our regular Friday night dinner on base and then headed home to put Logan to bed by 8 so we could catch the new The First 48 episode on A&E haha
Saturday and Sunday were very laid back and boring days for us. Logan hasn't been sleeping well at all and has basically decided that he is only going to sleep in his bed if I sleep with him (in a twin bed and it's not working out well for me) and if I don't he hops into our bed around 11 and basically takes up the entire bed. Sleep hasn't been going well for me
Monday was of course THE SUPERBOWL! I am a Titans fan by marriage #TitanUp but I love Marshawn Lynch and like the Seahawks so I was rooting for them. I almost cried in that last minute. I was so devastated for them an their fans. The halftime show was awesome and even Isaac was glad that Missy Elliot came on! Logan loved the fireworks and I loved the songs lol The only crappy thing about watching it in another country is that we watched in on AFN which means we had NO COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!!!! Don't worry I am planning to look them up on the internet today
After the super bowl I headed to the education center on base to have the dreaded conversation about my future. The fact that I have had a shot at 2 careers, left them both to be a SAHM and now I will be 28 this year and have no idea what I want to do with my life is really bothering me. I love being a stay at home mom but I also loved having a career so I am hoping that when we leave here since Logan will be 6 or 7 I will be able to go back. I took some time over this past month or two to try to figure out what I would love to do. I think in some capacity I would like to work in the healthcare industry but I'm also interested in Human Resources. In the Air Force I was a Maintenance Management Analyst so basically analyzing statistical data from flying hours to man hours to costs, making reports and giving briefings although that happened much less than the mundane adding up flying hours and reporting on aircraft issues. I have my B.A in Healthcare Administration but since I have some downtime here and a G.I just sitting there why not add to it? I decided some time ago that I wanted to get a degree in Communication Studies. That would help me if I ever decided to try to grow my blog into something, maybe go into media at some point but it is also broad enough that it can boost my healthcare administration degree or help me go into another field if I would like (such as HR).
My realistic job would be to become an office manager of a private practice, my dream job would be to become a SVP of Human Resources or Patient Services at a major metropolitan hospital and my not ever gonna happen just for fun if I could be anything in the world dream job would be to become an entertainment news anchor (Like Jillian Barberie from Los Angeles or be on something like GMA)
If you know me personally then you know that going back to school is a huge deal for me because I despise going to school. I am not ever very focused when I go and I tend to "phone it in" but I am hoping to change that this time. Here is a little bit of my school history...
I got my Bachelor of Arts in Healthcare Administration in 2013...and that took 5 years of off and on attendance. I used the excuse that I was active duty military and I was busy and then I used the excuse that I was a newlywed and then the excuse of I had a baby. I finished and then even though I have always been interested in working in the healthcare industry outside of being a nurse or physical therapist there weren't very many opportunities in the area we lived after leaving the military. I was very lucky and got a job as a Banking Center Manager at Bank of America with no banking experience but they liked my leadership skills and the fact that I did indeed have a degree. I enjoyed that career but thanks to an unaccompanied PCS for Isaac and 12 hour days most of the time with an hour commute I wasn't able to keep that career. (Right before we moved away I got a call to interview for dream job which was the Director of a Residential Care Facility but we had already set the wheels in motion for the move and it was too late to stop)
After a few months of being a SAHM I decided to apply for graduate school and was accepted into a MBA program which I later changed to a Master of Science in Management program. I went to school for my masters degree for about 5 months but being a single mom of a 2 year old and trying to stay sane, maintain my relationship with my husband 6000 miles away and keeping Logan busy I became overwhelmed. I stopped going to school and I was so sad. I felt like a quitter.
Moving to Japan I knew that my school opportunities would be limited. They only have Masters degree programs through University of Phoenix but it turns out they may be leaving and it would turn into a 100% online program. They have Associates degrees through Central Texas College but I don't need one of those and lastly they have University of Maryland: University College Asia Division. They have both Masters and Bachelors degree programs but only offer Bachelor classes on base (since phoenix has the claim on masters programs) So those were my choices if I wanted to ever go back to school in the next 3 years.
I couldn't really commit to starting a Masters program that would end up 100% online because I think I need the face to face motivation for at least 1 class. with that being said I decided to get a 2nd Bachelors Degree in Communications Studies from University of Maryland: University College Asia Division!!
oh I also decided that since I am here and I have always wanted to learn another language besides English and the Spanish you learn from growing up in Southern California and 3 years of H.S classes why not throw in a certificate of Japanese Studies and learn some Japanese an about the history and culture of this beautiful country we live in. I don't know how or if it will help me in the states but its cool and free haha
So looks like beginning Spring 2 session, March 16, I will officially be a student again getting a 2nd Bachelors degree in Communication Studies and a Certificate in Japanese Studies.
That was my uneventful and possibly life changing weekend. How was yours?! DO you have any career or school advice for me? I would love to hear it so put it in the comments below!

The Five People You Meet In Heaven - Who Will They Be?
Will you already know them or not?
Several years ago a book came on the scene titled, "The Five People You Meet In Heaven." For at least a year it was the impetus of conversations around the office watercooler, at cocktail parties, and among friends and neighbors.
The premise of the book is each of us will meet in the afterlife people who influenced our lives in ways we may or may not be aware of in our lifetimes. Some of them may be the genesis of situations we are born into. Some of them may be the genetic link that gave us the individual characteristics that make us the personalities we either embrace or wrestle with through the years. Some we may know. Some we may have never heard of or imagined.
The conversation that evolves for those who are lucky enough to read this thought-provoking novel usually progresses along the trek that leads to wondering who your "five people" might be. In accordance with my dominant personality traits, I hope at least two of mine are people I have no idea had any influence in my personal history. Just the surprise factor is worth having their identities revealed and learning how they fit into the puzzle of my familial fabric. You know how everybody in the state of Virginia can trace their lineage back to Robert E. Lee? Or think of all the believers in reincarnation who are absolutely positive they were Julius Caesar in a previous life. Learning someone significant in history had a hand in my backstory would be such a trip. Of course the odds are, just like the folks in Virginia and reincarnation advocates, I most likely only crossed historical paths with the town's mail carrier or some deadbeat still wasting away in the county jail.
I'd like to think one of those people I'll meet in Heaven will be a woman I never met in this life. My maternal grandmother died when my mother was nine years old. She only played an early formative role in Mom's life, but the loss of her affected Mom every day of her life.
I've seen some faded, black and white photos. I read some comments about her in a family reunion memory album. Her name was Goldie, which places her in the early 1900s. She died before she was thirty. She never enjoyed indoor plumbing, or electric washers and driers, or refrigerators. She had five children on a coal miner's pay - two sons, my mother, and two more sons. She didn't live to see one of those sons die in World War II. People say my older sister seems to look like her. Where I'm from we say my sister favors her. I'd like to know if I do too, in some way. Her blood runs in my veins and I can't tell you her middle name.
The other four people I'd meet in Heaven might well be obvious choices: a memorable English teacher, an early childhood friend, the boyfriend who got away or almost did, a pastor who preached only one sermon I heard but that I still remember almost word for word.
In the book the five people the protagonist meets all made significant contributions to his life. One he hardly remembered. One or two were the people in his life who meant more to him than the air he breathed every day of his life. One had haunted him.
It's an interesting read, but it is also an interesting concept.
Who might your five be?
I have never heard of the book but I like anything that makes my brain work! Interesting concept and hub.
I have not read the book....I might after this, but I know at least three people:
My childhood friend who was tragically killed when we were six. He would be the first
My cousin Debbie
My grandfather
beyond that....I would want to be with loved ones that have gone before me....so I guess my list is not complete so to speak.
Thanks for making me think!
I have always been curious about my great Aunt. She committed suicide two weeks before I was born. She had battled with depression and back then antidepressants were still kind of frowned upon. I've heard my family tell stories about her all my life and have always wondered what she was like. Maybe one day I'll get to meet her
I read the book and saw the movie and loved both. But I never really thought about who my 5 people will be. You've got me thinking now! I just finished reading the Timekeeper by Mitch Albom. Have you read that one? It's not my favorite of his books but definitely thought provoking and unique. If you've read it, I'd love to hear what you thought of it.
I have not read the book but I did see the movie and that movie has caused much personal reflection. For several years I have thought often about the very question which you have proposed. I still have no answer. If the six degrees of separation is a legitimate theory we will have a lot of people to meet I think it could really take an eternity of research and review to find out who we really were/are. I want to read the book. Thank you.
Me too
That would be nice, but think about the seven billion lives that are here on Earth, and how would it be possible to make Heaven a continuation of those lives.
Many people have tragic lives and they wouldn't want to continue it in Heaven. For those that have a great life on Earth, how would they continue it in Heaven where every one is the same.
The things that we like about our lives on Earth don't fit into Heaven. Husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, children, friends etc. don't fit into a uni-being who has only one function in Heaven. That function is to put God above everything else, the entire time will be devoted to just serving God, there is no time for a self.
Also how would the decision to be made for someone to even get into heaven? Would it be fair for people that only at the last minute in their lives would turn to God so they would get into heaven.
Where is the dividing line between getting into Heaven and not getting into it?
BTW, even according to the Old Testament, Heaven didn't keep all of Angels. They served God, and they were in Heaven, and yet that didn't compel them to stay.
What do most people think it will be like in Heaven?
I don't believe in the premise of Heaven so I can't pick any.
My opinion is that there can be no continuation of the life on earth.
If there is a Heaven it can't bring in any earthly baggage.
whta a fanatastic share.. I don't remember reading that book.. but I did get it as a gift.. now Im going to look for it.. hmm thanks for the share
I've read the book "The Five People..." Great book. I always liked "thought-provoking novels".
Great Hub and a fascinating concept. This will require some serious thinking on my part...I only know one mane right off the bat, who has had an enormous impact on my life and thinking, although I never met him. (He died the same day President John F.Kennedy was assassinated.)
Clive Staples (C.S.) Lewis. Certainly his many accessible books on the foundational tenets of Christianity influenced and deepened my faith. But of equal importance were the novels of his Science Fiction-Fantasy trilogy: Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra,and That Hideous Strength.
Although reasonably easy to read, these books are full of spiritual truth, mythology, etymology, and essays on art' literature, propaganda, the role of science, the perils of human arrogance, the purpose of education and much more.
The genius of Lewis is that on the first reading, the reader is not aware of being educated or challenged. They simply enjoy some incredibly good story-telling. It is on subsequent re-readings that the layers and complexity and depth of his work becomes clear.
I do not know who my other four would be, but I hope that one of my five would be C. S. Lewis. Thank you Kathleen for posing a question that would lead me to think about the value I found in his writing. SHARING.

Do you celebrate Carnival in your country? Have you ever participated in a Carnival parade? Do you know what Mardi Gras/Shrove (Fat) Tuesday means? What are the customs and traditions where you live?
In Brazil although not all people parade, it is a feast that starts getting prepared one year ahead and each region offers a different kind of attraction.
In Rio de Janeiro the samba schools league prepare a spectacle not to be missed as they go out and parade in the avenue, sporting thousands of participants who dance, sing and exhibit their costumes and floats according to pre-chosen themes.
In Salvador, the trio elétrico, a truck equipped with a high power sound system, advances on the avenue, blasting the music sung by popular Brazilian singers, while the crowd follows dancing and singing.
In Olinda, the main attraction is the Frevo blocks featuring giant dolls (some are more than 3mts tall).
When I was a kid, I used to wear masks and costumes and my parents would take me to the club, where I danced and sang with the other children. We would also spray people with water, to which we added some red dye called Devil's Blood. We threw serpentines and confetti on the cars that passed by. Later, as a teen, I went to the night balls at the club wearing different disguises, sang and danced the whole night with whoever came my way.
Today I do not participate in Carnival anymore. I escape to the peace and quiet in the countryside and watch the samba schools contest on television. I'd like to parade for one of the samba schools in Rio though. Maybe next year.

Three Days Grace Notch 10th No.1 Active Rock Single with 'The High Road'
Three Days Grace break a rock record with their latest single, 'The High Road'
The guys of Three Days Grace are likely happy this week, as the rock band's latest single, "The High Road," from their latest album, 2012's "Transit of Venus," has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Active Rock Chart.
The chart position is something of a milestone for the band. "The High Road" marks the outfit's 10th No. 1 single on the Active Rock Chart and breaks the record for the most No. 1 singles on the chart. Before "The High Road," Linkin Park and Shinedown were tied with Three Days Grace for the highest number of No. 1 singles on the Billboard Active Rock Chart, each holding nine. Now, Three Days Grace have surpassed both bands, scoring 10.
Three Days Grace are currently on the road in support of "Transit of Venus." Following original frontman Adam Gontier leaving the band earlier this year, singing duties have been taken over by My Darkest Days singer Matt Walst. Head to Three Days Grace's official website to check out their entire upcoming schedule.

A little help from Subaru people
People who lose a job or get sick might be just one unpaid bill from the edge of a downward spiral. Riding to the rescue are Subaru customers and White Bear Acura Subaru, to the tune of more than $12,000.
The contribution goes to an unusual nonprofit, which receives requests and pays the bills directly. "The 30 Days Foundation" assures people that their answer will come within 30 days, said the group's founder and director, Mick Sterling.
Often communicating through emails, the approval process can go quickly. "They don't have to go some place to fill out forms in triplicate," said Sterling. A person who is about to have the power shut off can't wait for five or six weeks, or two months, he explains.
Checks cut directly to pay bills typically amount to $75 to $150. The Subaru gift resulted primarily from a $250 contribution per new car sale from those who chose the Minnesota charity.
Sterling is a leading local musician who has had a connection to dealership GM Dan Moen for a number of years. Building a fun event for team members and friends, Sterling assembled seven area musicians for a special performance at Pub 112 in downtown Stillwater.
A personal supporter of 30 Days for five years, Moen said situations come up and things happen that prompt a need. "Everybody's been there."
Sterling said the group has helped more than 9,000 families since 2011. Food needs, shelter, utilities and medical bills can lead to financial crisis, he said.
"I love putting things together," said Sterling. "I can't fix a car to save my life, but I can do this." His next charity effort is a food truck that uses its proceeds to feed the hungry. "RefillMN Feed Yourself, Feed Your Neighbor" An $8 burrito purchase can feed three people, for example, and Sterling's goal is to provide one million meals by 2017.

The pharmacometric approach is applied iteratively throughout the drug development process.
At each stage in the process, the relevant data is integrated to build models describing the current state of knowledge. This is the learning part of the iteration cycle.
Next, these models are used to simulate strategic alternatives, producing quantified risk assessments of each option.
Data collected from subsequent trials are then used to confirm and improve the accuracy of the models. In this way, as the process moves forward, the ability to quantify development risks in each step become more and more refined.

If Antonio Conte's Chelsea squad is as weak as he says it is, it will be interesting to see how much game time he affords Willian this season.
The Brazilian is always impressive when he does feature, yet he failed to make much of an impression on Conte last term despite a tally of eight league goals from just 15 starts.
The Times claim the 29-year-old could be offered a way out of his uncertain situation at Stamford Bridge by Barcelona.
Chelsea were not opposed to selling him this summer and only rejected an offer because it came from Manchester United; while they allowed Nemanja Matic to join their Premier League rivals, there was no chance they would allow two players to head to Old Trafford.
Barcelona's transfer business has been somewhat underwhelming this summer. Willian would not really change that, but he would go some way towards giving them more options in attacking midfield.
So far, Ernesto Valverde's most expensive signing has been former Tottenham flop Paulinho for £36million. The Blaugrana have lacked an edge going forward since Neymar's departure, hence why they are targeting players like Willian and Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho.

Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time – is one of the best video games I've ever played.  Well-animated, a fairly rich and engaging story, heroic and noble deeds, excellent voice work, energizing music and brilliant use of the "do over" concept to make the nigh-impossible seem, well, straightforward, I still enjoy playing it, even after finishing it a few times.
So I'm fairly excited to learn that they're making a movie of it.
Note – I did not like the sequels to SoT. I played The Warrior Within and was completely underwhelmed and disappointed with the dark tone, and never finished. I'm told that The Two Thrones is more like the original, but I haven't played that yet.

No milk, no problem
When my daughter Sydney was six months old, I gave her milk-based formula for the first time. Within minutes, hives started sprouting up around her lips and chin. I thought maybe it was related to the nipple on the sippy cup, possibly a latex allergy. But within 15 minutes, her entire body was covered in hives. She threw up about an hour later, and threw up at least two more times after that. When she was tested by an allergist, it was confirmed that she had an allergy to cow's milk.
I was instructed to remove all traces of dairy from her diet. This meant that I would not only have to avoid the obvious, like milk, cheese and yogurt, but I would also have to start decoding labels, looking for words like "whey" and "casein" and "curds." I have to say, all of my label-reading has taught me a LOT. Even after 2.5 years, I am still continually surprised by which foods do or do not contain dairy. Here are just some of the foods that have confounded me.
Oreo cookies are dairy-free.
Many pre-made cake frostings are dairy-free.
Many taco seasonings contain dairy.
Almost everything on the menu at Chik-Fila except the fruit cup & waffle fries contains dairy.
The roasted turkey at Boston Market contains dairy.
Some pre-packaged cinnamon buns are dairy-free.
Some canned chicken noodle soup contains dairy.
I could go on and on…
Unfortunately there is no cure for a milk allergy, except hopefully time. There are varying statistics about when and how many children outgrow their allergies. Here is a recent statistic I found, based on a study of 800 children with milk allergies:
• 19% outgrew it by age 4
• 42% outgrew it by age 8
• 64% outgrew it by age 12
• 79% outgrew it by age 16
When Sydney's allergy was first diagnosed, I was hoping she'd be part of the group that outgrew her allergy early. Sydney just turned three, and her allergy is still going strong. Just the other day, she accidentally grabbed her sister's milk-filled sippy cup and took a swig. She immediately spit it out, and then spent the next 10 minutes scratching her tongue. She was even licking the couch at one point to try to get the itchy tongue feeling to stop.
While I still hope she outgrows it relatively soon, it's become part of life for us. I call her allergy a blessing and a curse: a curse because it's inconvenient; a blessing because it has forced me to look closer at the foods my kids eat, and also forced me to be creative in the kitchen.
One thing I've discovered is that almost any dish that is not primarily reliant upon cheese as its main ingredient can be made into a dairy-free version. So life without dairy is definitely not void of pleasure. If you need reassurance of this, check out the cake I just made for Sydney's birthday (shameless self-congratulating, I know….but I slaved over that thing for 4 hours, so I need to pat myself on the back a little).
So if you know anyone who has kids with dairy allergies, or is allergic to dairy themselves, please send them my way. I'd love to trade ideas & tips, and would also be happy to guide anyone who is new to this and overwhelmed.

She licked the couch? Hahahahahaha!ReplyDelete
And that cake is very impressive!
I am so happy to see the cake as Scott was telling me about it last night and how impressive it was!!! WOW it is great!!ReplyDelete
Grandma & Grandpa Mike keep hoping that Sydney will outgrow her allergy. When she comes to visit or I am visiting them, I have definitely turned into a label reader as I always fear I might give her something that contains dairy.
Someone else that gets an itchy tongue!! I get it when I have a fever, it's the WEIRDEST feeling. If it happens to your daughter again, try giving her an ice cube or a popsicle, something frozen, that's what helps me.ReplyDelete
The things on your list of dairy vs non made me go 'huh!' at first but then I thought about how I make them myself - fried chicken uses buttermilk in the breading, but frosting usually uses oil/Crisco (bleah)... but roasted turkey?! WHY would you use any sort of dairy in roasted turkey?! Bizarre.
THANK YOU. I have been denying/avoiding the fact that my little ones (three and 19 mo.) have dairy allergies. For the (third?) time, I let my boy have yogurt and ... dumb. His skin turns purple where the dairy touches him and then his poop... lord. He never seems fussy though... ANYWAY. Can't wait to hear what you can suggest!ReplyDelete
The kiddos are gonna love that CAKE!! very cute!ReplyDelete
Beth - have you taken the kids to an allergist? They might be able to help you determine whether it's a true allergy or just an intolerance. Although usually an immediate response on the skin indicates an allergy. The best thing to do is to just cut it out of their diets completely for a few weeks, then try adding a small amount back in and see if you notice a difference. I hate that there's no better way than trial and error, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be.ReplyDelete
That is some cake! I'm assuming you used a mold and some decorating tips... did you take classes? My mom does a lot of cake decorating but she's taken numerous classes. Funny, I could've sworn this summer Sydney ate cheese, would you have given her non-dairy cheese at your mom's?ReplyDelete

From collision-avoiding hatchbacks to app-connected luxury cars, the September 2016 auto trends reveal an intense focus on improving the driver experience.
While car manufacturers are always looking to make cars safer to drive, new technology is allowing them to make vehicles even safer than ever before. For instance, 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback comes with collision avoidance technology to help prevent accidents on the road. Similarly, the new Mercedes Metris Worker is equipped with lane assist, blind spot warning and reversing cameras so that drivers can more easily maneuver the van.
On the other hand, the September 2016 auto trends reveal that technology is also improving the driver experience in other ways. Whether it is making it more convenient to unlock a vehicle or incorporating new entertainment features, high-tech upgrades such as app connectivity and 360-degree cameras are quickly changing the in-car experience.
