Simple Ways to Save Money
Anyway, as I grew older, of course the place where I put my savings also change. From a cute piggy bank to a wallet I leave at home... to a savings account in a bank I trust, like Capital One. It has to be a bank that gives you the most options for your savings account. Since you pretty much want to see that savings grow and not just sit inside a safe until it's needed. What I like about Capital One though, isn't just the way they handle my money, but also the fact that they make an effort for their customers to learn how to save or handle their money through financial literacy programs. This is something that would help a lot in terms of making sure you know what you're doing with the money you work hard for.
Disclosure: I was compensated to share some tips on how to save money.

One of the things I love about fiction is its ability to provide readers with greater understanding of and empathy for people whose experiences are different from their own. Sine May is Mental Health Awareness Month, I'd like to highlight a few books that I (and readers/reviewers who live with mental illness) think portray characters with mental illness in an accurate, respectful, and hopeful light. I hope that with greater understanding, we can tackle the stigma against getting help or taking medication to manage mental illness. All book descriptions are from Goodreads.
Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin
Riley Cavanaugh is many things: Punk rock. Snarky. Rebellious. And gender fluid. Some days Riley identifies as a boy, and others as a girl. The thing is…Riley isn't exactly out yet. And between starting a new school and having a congressman father running for reelection in uber-conservative Orange County, the pressure — media and otherwise — is building up in Riley's so-called "normal" life.
On the advice of a therapist, Riley starts an anonymous blog to vent those pent-up feelings and tell the truth of what it's REALLY like to be a gender fluid teenager. But just as Riley's starting to settle in at school — even developing feelings for a mysterious outcast — the blog goes viral, and an unnamed commenter discovers Riley's real identity, threatening exposure. Riley must make a choice: walk away from what the blog has created — a lifeline, new friends, a cause to believe in — or stand up, come out, and risk everything.
Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley [I haven't read this yet, but I love John Corey Whaley's books and I've heard amazing things about it.]
Sixteen-year-old Solomon is agoraphobic. He hasn't left the house in three years, which is fine by him.
Ambitious Lisa desperately wants to get into the second-best psychology program for college (she's being realistic). But how can she prove she deserves a spot there?
Solomon is the answer.
Determined to "fix" Sol, Lisa thrusts herself into his life, introducing him to her charming boyfriend Clark and confiding her fears in him. Soon, all three teens are far closer than they thought they'd be, and when their facades fall down, their friendships threaten to collapse, as well.
My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga
Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting her own death. With a mother who can barely look at her without wincing, classmates who whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her small town, Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness.
There's only one problem: she's not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel's convinced she's found her solution: a teen boy with the username FrozenRobot (aka Roman) who's haunted by a family tragedy is looking for a partner.
Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other's broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately, she must choose between wanting to die or trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together. Except that Roman may not be so easy to convince.
The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner
Dill has had to wrestle with vipers his whole life — at home, as the only son of a Pentecostal minister who urges him to handle poisonous rattlesnakes, and at school, where he faces down bullies who target him for his father's extreme faith and very public fall from grace.
He and his fellow outcast friends must try to make it through their senior year of high school without letting the small-town culture destroy their creative spirits and sense of self. Graduation will lead to new beginnings for Lydia, whose edgy fashion blog is her ticket out of their rural Tennessee town. And Travis is content where he is thanks to his obsession with an epic book series and the fangirl turning his reality into real-life fantasy.
Their diverging paths could mean the end of their friendship. But not before Dill confronts his dark legacy to attempt to find a way into the light of a future worth living.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
What if you aren't the Chosen One?
The one who's supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever the heck this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death?
What if you're like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again.
Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week's end of the world, and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life.
Even if your best friend is worshipped by mountain lions.
Award-winning writer Patrick Ness's bold and irreverent novel powerfully reminds us that there are many different types of remarkable.
For more recommendations, I encourage you to check out Teen Librarian Toolbox's #MHYALit Project. There are many, many more books that portray mental illness really well. There are also many that do a terrible job and may perpetuate harmful stereotypes. If you know of a book that you think provides a good representation of characters living with mental illness, or of a book you think is problematic, please share in the comments.

For Men
This community is specifically designed for women. While I have no doubt that the Lord can use you to minister to, encourage, and advise the women in the BHE community, comments will be moderated.
Comments from men may be under review for publishing if you…
- Are a married man who has a success story to share about his own marriage
- Have a specific insight or encouragement to my readers or a specific response to a post that you feel will edify and uplift female readers
- A specific question you may have that relates to the content on this site for the purposes of better understanding women, growing in your relationship with God, and pursuing a Biblical marriage
Any other content, regardless of the reason, will not be published.
Please don't send me emails/comments if you are a man whose wife has been refusing him sex or having sex less frequently than desired. These kinds of comments will never be published. This blog is not designed for you nor is the BHE community a place for you to vent about your situation. Please refrain from commenting if this description fits you.
I belong to a wonderful blogging group called the Christian Marriage Bloggers Association. This group includes male bloggers writing and teaching other men how to be godly husbands, leaders, fathers, and followers of God. I graciously point you to their sites:
1. Be Strong Act Like Men
pursuing an Ephesians 5 marriage
2. Becoming a Better Man
life lessons from a formerly abusive husband
3. Cracking the Marriage Code
equipping husbands to better understand and communicate with their wives
4. The Generous Husband
exhibiting generosity in a marriage from the male perspective
5. The Respected Husband
thoughts on love and respect from the male perspective
6. Sensuous Happy Husband
fully exploring passion within the confines of monogamous marriage from the male perspective
And there are others you can view here:
I hope this encourages you that there are men out there writing for men about marriage, love, and sex from a godly perspective.
My purpose on BHE:
I am not writing BHE for men. This community is intended to be for women by women. I do occasionally have a word for men, and I do believe men can benefit from the general principles of my writing, but it is not my goal to instruct or encourage husbands out there. If men can benefit from my writing, to God be the glory, but this is not my blog's purpose. The job of teaching men how to be godly men is the job of pastors, male spiritual leaders, and other husbands/men out there. It is not my responsibility to make sure that these men are doing their jobs, nor do I wish to exhort them from my blog or social media platforms. I am only accountable for myself.
My goal is to teach and encourage wives to be the best wives and followers of God they can be, and to encourage soon-to-be-married women to start their marriage strong. This is my passion. This is the ministry God has given me.
A Word to Men,
This community is specifically designed for women of all ages, backgrounds, and relationship statuses. While I do not doubt that the Lord can uniquely use you to minister to these women in this community, comments by you men will be monitored.
Please don't let this keep you from interacting with the BHE community. You can follow me on my social media sites. Feel free to use the Email Me option for your questions, comments, or concerns.
One of the best things you can do for us is to pray. Pray that the Lord will use me as a vessel to get His words out there, not mine. Pray that we would grow as a community of love and grace. Pray for protection of our Warrior God and King as I go through the relaunching process as the Devil doesn't want us to succeed. Pray that this BHE community will be a place of healing and joy.
Please click here to see the special note to men regarding comments/email guidelines.
A Word to Ladies,
Please don't use this page or the following resources as a way to guilt-trip your husband or change him. That is not what these resources are for.

Heading out on a nine-game road trip Monday afternoon, the Los Angeles Dodgers have more than great offense, pitching and defense on their side. They have confidence.
And why wouldn't they? Just last night, Matt Kemp hit a grand slam, along with a solo shot, to aid the defending NL West champs in their their eighth straight victory with a 14-2 whoopin over the Colorado Rockies. Andre Ethier and Orlando Hudson each drove in three runs as well for the Dodgers, who've won all six of their first home games for the first time since 's 1947 rookie year with the Brooklyn Dodgers. That team, who began the year at 8-0, were trumped only by the 1946 Dodgers, who enjoyed a 9-0 streak to kick off their season. Now would be the time to visit the world of MLB betting and check the box marked Dodgers.
The Dodgers have impressively outscored their opponents 50-17 during this homestand, nailing 77 hits, 11 bombs, and 31 walks with a .367 collective batting average. The team has also managed to outscore everyone they play 19-0 in the seventh inning alone. In fact, they're 29-9 at Chavez Ravine since last year's All-Star break, which just so happens to be the best record in the big leagues down that stretch.
So, what's stopping them from swallowing up the Houston Astros, sweeping the Rockies again, and going to town on the Giants in San Francisco before beating up the San Diego Padres on April 30th?

Master Bedroom
4.70m x 3.80m
Next to this is another beautiful double bedroom. It has oak flooring, a large double glazed window with views of the garden and a walk in dressing room.
8.50m x 5.10m
The real wow factor of this property is as you enter the main reception area. It is all open plan. The living room has a white ceramic floor, an insert set into a lovely, modern fireplace, French doors leading out onto some of the terrace and it has underfloor heating.
The fully fitted kitchen also has a white ceramic floor with underfloor heating, dishwasher, cooker and storage space.
Dining Room
4.90m x 4.70m
The third part of this lovely open plan area is the dining room. It has some heavyweight curtains which can be pulled across to separate this room on its own. It has a white ceramic floor with underfloor heating, a window to the side, one large set of double glazed, glass doors leading out onto the main terrace and a second set of doors leading out to another part of the terrace. The views of the garden are magnificent.
Utility Room
4.00m x 2.90m
To the back of the kitchen is the utility room. It has a ceramic floor with underfloor heating, a sink, storage space, double glazed window to the rear and space for all white goods.
6.20m x 3.60m
The utility room leads into the main garage. It has a concrete floor, electrics, door to the garden and a door leading down to the cave. There is also storage space on the mezzanine floor.
6.50m x 4.50m
The door from the garage leads down to what is known in France as the sous-sol. It is a large space with the boiler, two oil tanks and plenty of storage.
Main House First Floor
7.30m x 3.10m
The handmade staircase leads unto the first floor landing. It is a lovely bright area with a ceramic floor, underfloor heating, built in storage, a large velux window and doors leading to all rooms on this floor.
4.40m x 2.90m
Starting from left to right, the first room is the bathroom. It has a corner bath with shower, ceramic floor with underfloor heating, an electric heater, a velux window, a double washbasin and vanity unit and next door is a separate WC.

2.70m x 2.20m
There is a small box room, which has a ceramic floor with underfloor heating, a velux window and access to the loft space. This would be a nice office space or games room.

Finally the last room on this floor is the fourth double bedroom. It has a vinyl floor with underfloor heating, a large velux window and built in wardrobe space.
Potential Gite
5.60m x 3.90m
The second building is potentially already a gîte or granny annex with scope to create more living space. The current owner was running a beauty salon here but the rooms are such that it is already a separate living area. The first room is what would be a reception room. It has a dark coloured floor, electric radiator, windows to the front, TV points and a wooden staircase to the first floor. There are two doors also leading to other parts of this building.
2.90m x 2.20m
At the bottom of the stairs is a small room which has a wooden floor, sink, electric heater and window facing the second garage? This would potentially be a small kitchen space.
2.20m x 1.40m
Another door leads into a separate area. The first part of this is the shower room for the gîte. It has a vinyl floor, WC, shower and washbasin.
3.90m x 2.00m
Next to the shower room is the workshop area. It has a double glazed window to the front and electrics.
Storage Room
4.50m x 4.50m
Through from the workshop is another big room, generally used for storage. It has a concrete floor, double glazed window to the rear, a door to the double garage, a stone staircase leading to the first floor and it also houses the water tank.
7.90m x 4.30m
The double garage has an electric door, concrete floor, storage and a set of double doors leading out into the garden.
First Floor
7.60m x 4.30m
The stone staircase leads to the first floor. There are three main rooms here. The first is a large area that could be converted easily into more living space. It has 2 velux windows, a concrete floor and a mezzanine area.
Music Room
6.60m x 4.00m
To the back of this is the music room. It has a vinyl floor, electrics, a velux window and a double glazed window. This is soundproofed for making as much noise as possible.
3.90m x 3.80m
The wooden staircase leads up to the first floor. It has a wooden floor, a large velux window and it is bright and spacious. This is currently the treatment room but is really easy to turn into a double bedroom.
To be honest the grounds are beautiful. There is ample room for parking at the front or rear of the main house, as well as the two garages. The main feature to the garden is the wrap around terrace at the rear. It benefits from overlooking the whole garden which although 1.5 acres, is very private and easy to maintain with a ride on mower.
To be honest I have run out of superlatives for this property. It has been built with love and attention with some real lovely features. The local village is less than 10 minutes on foot and offers a pizzeria, pharmacy, post office and local bar. The large busy town of Rostrenen is about 6 minutes in the car and has multiple shops, banks and supermarkets. Please ask for more photos or come and see the house for yourself.

Soccer News of Sunday, 16 September 2012
Source: --
Ghana's preparation for the final 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Malawi got a massive boost after defender Jonathan Mensah returned from injury.
The 22-year-old played his first competitive match for French top-flight side Evian in eight months on Saturday after a long injury lay-off.
Memsah has been in the treatment room since he aggravated a thigh injury in February after the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
With the centre-back regaining his fitness, he will be available for coach Kwesi Appiah ahead of the away game, giving the Black Stars boss several strong options at the heart of the defence.
Mensah was a beneficiary of the six changes made by new Evian coach Pascal Dupraz which resulted in their first league win beating Bastia 3-0 at the Parc des Sports on Saturday.
The centre-back last the entire duration of the match which saw 36-year-old Cédric Barbosa bagged a brace and a single from Yannick Sagbo.
Mensah moved to Evian TG in the summer of 2011 and has managed only two appearances in the French top-flight.

One of the most daunting aspects of running a business of any size is the need for meticulous bookkeeping. Anyone who has ever cowered in fear of having to solve a math problem at the board in front of the class is likely more than a little anxious about taking on bookkeeping for their business. After all, there's a lot riding on that record keeping, including wooing future investors and proving your figures when the IRS comes knocking.
The Benefits of Online Bookkeeping
- It Saves Time: Once employees understand the program, it's quick and easy to log receipts and other paperwork as they arrive instead of letting them stack up. With information securely stored in the program, it's also only a click away to find it again to answer a question about a transaction.
- It Streamlines Paperwork: Instead of writing receipts and invoices by hand, a robust online bookkeeping program compiles all financial information and allows for automatic reports and tracking. It's easy to see outstanding payments and track the ebb and flow of income at a glance.
- It Improves Accuracy: A single subtraction error can echo throughout the books for weeks, and clerical errors are notoriously difficult to track down once they're made. When a computer is doing the math, computation errors are a thing of the past.
- It Simplifies Payroll: For small businesses with employees, payroll can be an additional challenge, as hours need to be logged and taxes accounted and reported to various governmental entities. Online bookkeeping software prompts users to enter information and automatically calculates withholding, benefits and more.

The 2014 Infiniti QX70
Infiniti rebadged its sporty FX midsized crossover range including the V6 powered FX37 and V8 engined FX50 as the QX70 as a part of the manufacturers new Q-based nomenclature system. The new sports beauty is due in late 2015 or early the following year. Proudly maintaining the bold styling of its predecessors the 2014 Infiniti QX70 will be the crossover's third iteration. The changed name is no reason to be fooled for apart from the new moniker, the QX70 still remains identical to the last years FX and hence is still one of the most drover-focused crossovers in the market all credits to the platform shared with the agile and sporty Nissan 370Z sports car. A few welcome changes, however, will include more interior space in order to alleviate one of the main drawbacks of the current model. Along with that a cushier cabin is also a plus point for the new SUV.
For a change, it is sometimes alright to judge a book by its cover. The new QX70's muscular lines and aggressive stance speaks all about the crossover and suggests that this little monster is all about performance and it certainly carries under its metal veils just the right stuff to back up that impression. Strengthened by a version of the RWD-based architecture shared by the 370Z, the QX70 is nimble with its responses to control inputs and offers a taut, yet not uncomfortable ride. Offering its customers a choice between couple of stout powerplants, QX70 comes in a standard and an optional engine variation. The standard motor which is a 3.6 liter V-6 engine generates 325 horsepower and 267 pound feet of torque. The optional engine is a 5.0 liter V8 which elevates the output by 65 generating about 390 ponies and impressive 369 pound feet of twist which, in fact, is enough to cruise up the vehicle to 60 mph from rest in a sprint time of just over 5 seconds. Both the engines are mated with a seven speed automatic transmission. While the V6 is based on rear wheel drive as standard but can be optioned with all-wheel drive, the V8 is available exclusively with all wheel drive. Fuel economy for the FWD V6 and AWD V6 is rated as 17/24 city/highway mpg and 16/22 mpg respectively while the V8 returns 14/20 mpg.
On the inside, the new QX70 welcomes its passengers with a sybaritic cabin manifested with plush materials like soft leather, brushed aluminum and genuine wood trim. Since there is no iDrive-style infotainment controller, conventional buttons flourish. Sadly, offering just 24 cubic feet of trunk room, which is less than some "compact" crossovers like the Honda CR-V, a compromised cargo space disappoints. However, folding the rear seats down, swells up the storage to 62 cubic feet!
Both the versions come with a myriad of additional optional feature that help customize the 2014 Infiniti QX70 according to its owner. Once unique among luxury crossovers due to its wild styling over interior space, the QX70 now competes with even more radically styles "coupe-crossovers" like the BMW X6 and Acura ZDX.
Five Red-Hot New SUVs to Consider in 2013
2013 is quickly approaching, and many motorists are considering replacing their aging, outdated vehicles with shiny new ones for the new year. Car buying isn't what it used to be, however, with new nameplates and never-before seen models hitting dealerships at every turn. From well-appointed luxury vehicles to cost-efficient reliable ones, drivers have never been faced with as many great choices as they are right now. So, what's an overwhelmed buyer to do? Simply consult our handy list of the hottest upcoming 2013 SUV models, of course!
This year's crop of SUVs is mainly comprised of crossover SUV models, which have all but conquered the SUV market and supplanted the traditional truck-based SUVs of the '90s and early 2000s due to their increased fuel economy numbers and more car-like handling. Many automakers now include compact crossover SUVs in their lineups, though traditional crossovers are still quite popular.
Five of the Hottest SUVs for 2013: (In no particular order).
1. 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek: A sort of hybrid between a compact wagon and a crossover SUV, this stylish vehicle is a more rugged and higher-riding version of the popular Subaru Impreza on which it's based. As with all Subaru models, this stylish crossover comes standard with all-wheel drive, though this particular model is perhaps even more impressive when mated with a gearless CVT automatic transmission. (There's also a five-speed manual trans mission available. Stand-out features include a voice and touchscreen controlled navigation with real-time traffic alerts, an HD radio, and a rear-view camera.
2. Mazda CX-5: (as seen in the included photo) This all-new crossover SUV has been touted as one of the most fuel-efficient around due to its 2.0-liter Mazda SKYACTIV four-cylinder engine that achieves a respectable 26 mpg city/ 33 mpg highway and features all-wheel drive as optional. It's sporty, and uniquely stylish, as well!
3. Infiniti JX: The all-new Infiniti JX began reeling in a ton of attention much before it premiered in production form, and it certainly doesn't disappoint now that it's here! A luxury SUV with seating for seven, advanced safety features, a roomy and elegant interior, and a stylish exterior, the JX is all that a family desires, and more. Impressive safety features include a new Backup Collision Intervention system, while a Drive Mode Select feature keeps the journey smooth in all weather conditions.
4. Buick Encore: A boldly-stylish new subcompact crossover with a ton of flair, this sporty little SUV boasts a super-quiet interior and smooth ride due to its active noise cancellation system. It looks quite a bit like the Chevy Sonic, to which it's mechanically related.
5. BMW X1: Both strong and sleek-looking, this new subcompact crossover SUV is also very agile and speedy. It's a bit smaller than the BMW X3, and is therefore also more cost-efficient, yet it still has features to impress even the choosiest drivers and passengers, including a start-stop function for heightened fuel economy and an advanced xDrive all-wheel drive system (standard with the BMW 35i engine and optional with the four-cylinder 28i engine) for maximum handling on wet or dry roadways.
Remember, reader, these are excellent vehicles to consider for a 2013 (or late 2012) purchase or lease! For more great advice, be sure to stay tuned here with suv.reviewitonline.net. We always have the latest news, and we can't wait to share it with you!

The other day I had a life-altering experience when I randomly decided to stop for a cup of gelato on my way home. I saw this flavor called coconut basil. I tasted it. I got a whole cupful of it.
Those spoonfuls of creamy coconut basil heaven may have been the best ten minutes of my day, but I would never admit that.
For the rest of the afternoon I obsessed over how else I could combine those two flavors. Soup? Rice? Fish? Cupcakes? Cupcakes.
These are the things I think about.
These are fantastically sweet and coconut-y with a hint of lime zing to them. I do wish the flavor of the basil would have come through more in the frosting though. Next time I make these I will be trying other basil-adding methods. But I have to finish these up first.
So now I am single-handedly ridding the world of coconut lime cupcakes with basil lime cream cheese frosting. It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it. And I am winning the battle...these cupcakes don't know what hit them.
Coconut Lime Cupcakes with Basil Lime Cream Cheese Frosting
Makes 12 cupcakes
1 1/4 cups cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon coconut extract
2 T. fresh lime juice
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 T. lime zest
3/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes, ground up in food processor
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
Into a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Using a hand held mixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time until just combined. Add vanilla, coconut extract, and lime juice. Add buttermilk and dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. Mix in the lime zest and shredded coconut.
Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool on wire racks before frosting.
1 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 stick (4 T.) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 T. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. lime zest
1/4 cup finely chopped basil (I put mine in the food processor)
approx. 4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup toasted sweetened coconut flakes, for garnish
Using a hand-held mixer beat cream cheese and butter together until light and smooth. Add vanilla extract, lime juice and zest, and basil and combine. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time until thoroughly incorporated and at desired consistency. Add more sugar if desired texture is not reached. Adjust flavors as desired.
Pour coconut flakes evenly onto a baking sheet. Place in 350-degree oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring often and keeping an eye on them so they do not burn. Remove when golden-brown.
Frost cupcakes and garnish with toasted coconut flakes.

After reading about Katie Holmes' herbal detox diet to supposedly prepare for the conception of she and Tom Cruise's second child, I thought another day, another diet. It feels like nearly every celebrity has their own tried-and-true way of keeping the pounds off. Madonna is known to stick to a strict organic diet, while Megan Fox swears by drinking water spiked with apple cider vinegar.
Katie Holmes' diet is said to consist of herbal detox drinks and a purification procedure. Is it the infamous Master Cleanse that helped Beyonce shed 20 pounds for her role in "Dreamgirls"? Check out some other bizarre diets below.

There's nothing like a peruse of other people's Christmas traditions on Facebook or Mumsnet to make our household look like a terrestrial version of 'Abandon hope all ye who enter here.' Never mind the making of fancy little star-shaped biscuits and jolly felt decorations for the tree, it's as much as I can do to summon up the enthusiasm to bung up the Christmas poodle ornament with one leg missing and the starry tinsel that's just purple wire now all its stars have leapt off over the years and rejoined the universe. If it weren't for the children, I'd probably ditch the tree all together and pile up the boxes of wine into a triangle shape.
Other people have joyous traditions such as inviting people over to sing carols round the fire, which would be the quickest way to find ourselves alone at New Year. The husband sounds like the exhaust on a removals truck and I've long taken up miming at the children's carol concerts. Then there's all that putting down food for the reindeers and sherry wotnot for Father C, which just makes me think rats. And the dog would scarf up the Harveys Bristol Cream creating her own brand of Christmas doom in the form of a vet on a million-pound callout over the festive season.
And don't get me started on Christmas cards. All that hanging around, blowing over every time the sitting room door is opened, guilting me into thinking about the people I didn't send one to. I know it's the thought that counts but am I alone in finding it weird that people send cards all the way from Australia, actually go to the effort of taking the damn thing to the post office to get it weighed in the middle of November then write, 'Love Pat'? No news. No family nugget. Come on, guys, let's tap into our loquacious gene here and make those airmiles worth it.
And then, deep happiness, there's the present minefield. The children start making constant white noise about their present lists back in October, which I let blend in with the sound of the dishwasher until about 21 December, then pay out one third of the Christmas budget on presents and two-thirds on next day delivery. The husband gets stressed about what he's going to buy me as I don't need or want anything. To me, this seems a fine characteristic in a wife, but the embarrassment of being the only husband in the room who has bought nothing for his beloved seems to turn this fabulous quality of mine into a fault. So although a recent survey made mockery of sensible presents such as saucepans, socks and slippers, I think I would be delighted with just about everything in the top ten worst presents list with the possible exception of diet books, clothes in the wrong size and granny knickers, though better the big bloomers than some cheese-gratery thong that makes you scared to sneeze.
Last year the husband bought me a welly boot mud scraper, the year before a fridge, both of which filled my heart with much more joy than unwrapping a trinkety little box containing something sparkly. The pressure of having to like something expensive makes me back away, a bit like the dog when I try to wash the mud off her with the hosepipe.
But yet…when the extended family gather round on Christmas Day, my Dad raises a toast and says, 'May these be our worst days', the kids go into raptures over the nail clippers and plastic earrings from the crackers, the dog appears with a perfect (snaffled) triangle of Brie in her mouth, the husband is just such a damn good egg, barely raising an eyebrow that the family and friends this year come with an extra three dogs between them…well, I have to consider myself blessed, Christmas humbug and all.
P.S. If anyone needs a last minute present…I know of a fantastic book on Kindle…http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Class-Ceiling-ebook/dp/B00ANUAN72/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356013757&sr=8-1

Well, here's my first post of the New Year. I'm really hoping to get better at posting regularly, which is why I'm creating this post.
A couple weeks ago, actually the 1st Sunday of the year, my pastor gave an awesome sermon on 2011 being a "prime year" & making this the time to not miss our "Kairos" - or "God-appointed" - moments. "Kairos" is one of 2 Greek words used in the Bible for "time" & it "is a pivotal point in a person's life where profound and significant things are divinely destined to occur."
One of my "Kairos" moments happened a little over a year ago when I felt I was lead to my new church. I had recently left the church that I was a member of for almost 4 years & was desperately seeking to grow closer in my relationship with God. Before I was so focused on the religious aspects of Christianity & doing the right things, that I forgot to "crave" that relationship with Jesus. My "cup" was becoming clean on the outside, but the inside was still a dirty mess.
After I started attending my new church for awhile, I KNEW deep down that this was where God wanted me to be, at this particular time & I thank HIM everyday that He has me right where He wants me. :)
Well, I'm hoping, believing & praying, that I am in the process of my next "Kairos" moment.
I recently signed up for the Made to Crave Online Study hosted by Melissa Taylor.
The book is by Lysa Terkheurst & she is currently hosting live webcasts on Monday nights. The first one was last week, but you can check out the website - Made to Crave - for more information. I'm really excited about reading this book & following the online study.
If you haven't heard about the book yet, it's about "the missing link between a woman's desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen." (http://madetocrave.org/about/) Most importantly, it's about "craving God" more than we "crave food".
I'm still growing in my relationship with God & I have been "craving" more of Him lately. I heard Lysa say that people have used her book for the other things we "crave" more than God, not just food. So, that is why I'm looking forward to this journey.
For me, this journey will not only be about learning healthy eating habits, but I'm also hoping to use it as a guide to help me ONCE & FOR ALL quit smoking. I've tried quitting twice before to only start back up again. So, I'm hoping to use this book & it's principals to not only learn better eating habits, but I'm also BELIEVING & TRUSTING in this journey to help me KICK THE HABIT for good. Plus, I believe both of these areas go hand in hand. A lot of people turn to food or gain weight while they are quitting/or after they have quit. So, I don't want to be the next person who ends one bad habit, only to start another one.
Each Sunday the assignment is posted for the week. So, I'm hoping - as I follow along this study - to update my blog at least once a week to keep myself ACCOUNTABLE. There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter & I'm planning on keeping an offline journal to take notes. I want to use this blog, as well as the Made to Crave community on Facebook, to share what I'm learning each week.
On a closing note, I really enjoyed my Pastor's sermon this morning. He talked about the man who was healed by the pool at Bethesda in John 5. In verse 8, Jesus commanded him to rise, take up his bed & walk. And because of his obedience, the man was made well & got up.
I like what my Pastor said, "If we can do the possible, God can do the impossible." The key is that we have to be obedient. We can't expect to change & not put in any effort. So, I'm believing that during those times when I feel like I'm struggling or unable to continue in my own strength, God will intervine & give me the strength to do what is beyond my ability. :)
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. And, please feel free to leave me a comment or even a word of encouragement. :)
I'm just a girl who is learning to 'abide in Christ' in my daily life... "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me." John 15:4 NASB

Welcome to Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB)
Transforming Care at the Bedside, or TCAB, is an initiative to empower frontline staff nurses as key change agents for their local units. TCAB aims to improve the safety and reliability of care, improve nurses' and other health care workers' enthusiasm for their work, enhance patient and family satisfaction with care, and develop ways to add value to the care provided (such as increasing the amount of time nurses spend in direct contact with patients).
The initiative was developed with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement to develop the model and tools for this empowerment. After being tested with 13 hospitals, TCAB is now being spread through a larger initiative by the American Organization of Nurse Executives and the availability of a virtual TCAB site for health care organizations that want to begin the "TCAB journey."
Transforming Care at the Bedside: Paving the Way for Change, a special AJN report funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This report describes why TCAB is needed if we're to improve care, what it is, what impact it is having, and how various TCAB sites have made changes that support the TCAB aims.
TCAB at Massachusetts General Hospital. Under the "Collections" tab of www.ajnonline.com, you'll find a compilation of a series of 12 articles by Amanda Stefancyk, nurse director of 10 White at Massachusetts General Hospital. The series describes her unit's experiences starting TCAB, the challenges the staff confronted, and some of the changes they have developed that have led to improvements in care and team vitality.
The virtual TCAB Web site has a toolkit for implementing TCAB.

Previously, we reviewed Woo Trader's Benzinga analysts' ratings history history broadly.
This post dives a little deeper into information available on the Woo Trader platform that pertains to each individual analyst.
For example: From the Analysts Ratings History report main page, click on Bank of America.
Related: WOO TRADER BENZINGA ANALYSTS RATINGS HISTORY
Once there, click on the (middle) Overview tab to learn more about BOA's team of analysts and how they are doing. You can see how many active ratings they have (517 as of this writing). This is further broken down by Outperform, Perform and Underperform.
On average BOA's price target is about 26% higher than the current closing price of companies they cover. # Price Targets indicates the number of active price targets (currently 218). At the bottom appear the current High and Low price targets (as a % of the current price at the time the PT was issued).
Three additional quadrants reflect the same information from 1, 2 and 3 months ago. This allows you to see how data have changed over time.
Past Performance
The last tab is the Past Performance tab. This is a list of the past performance of all BOA analyst reports performance. There's a list off all stocks, when the report was initiated, what the ratings were, where it started, ended, number days the rating was open and finally the end price and percentages.
For example: a report on Energy Transfer Equity LP (ETE) was initiated 2/17 with a rating of Perform. On that date opening price was $6.28 and the S&P opened at 1898.80. 15 trading days later, March 10, the stock closed at $7.75 and the S&P closed at 1981.44. ETE had an increase of 23% and the S&P 500 had an increase of 4.35% in that same period. This means ETE outperformed the S&P by 437% and the accuracy was 0. BOA analysts were not correct. They estimated ETE would match the S&P 500 when in fact it Outperformed it by a bunch.
Most accuracy ratings are either 0 or 100%. A few are 50% because the analysts were sort of correct but not exactly in their rating.
Related: BREXIT! AFTER THE PANIC, THEN WHAT?
Stock Ratings
There's a button at the top labeled Stock Ratings. Click the drop down and select Price Targets.
Now we have PT data for issuances that BOE has come out with. From left to right columns are Stock (Ticker), Info, Actions, Date (PT was issued), Target, Start Price, (PT) Valid Until, (Trading) Days (target was valid), Expected Price (when the target expired), Actual (price when target expired) and Accuracy.
If you click on any equity (ticker), from anywhere on the site, you will be brought to the Benzinga information page. Scroll down, click on the analysts' tab and you will be brought to this quick overview.
You can see the total number of analysts currently covering the stock, as well as the ratings distribution. There's also price information.
You can see this same data for now, 1 month ago, 2 months ago and 3 months ago.

Research is starting to show pretty conclusively that the answer to this question can have a profound effect on the learning that occurs within your class or school. More specifically, children who are anxious about their learning, about their abilities, about their homework…about just about anything, will have elevated levels of cortisol, the hormone associated with stress. Though cortisol has its benefits, a perpetual state of elevated cortisol levels, or even regular spikes in levels are damaging to the body in numerous ways, including impaired cognitive abilities. Studies also show that increased instances of elevated cortisol levels leads to lowered cortisol levels down the road, which is also problematic. The other, more immediate effect is that the physiological energy needed for the body to regulate stress hormone levels detracts from the energy available to focus on learning.
We've all seen children in obvious states of emotional distress, and it's well known that students in such a state are incapable of much learning. But students with less visible, perhaps lower levels of stress or anxiety are also affected. The notion of stress in this case is very broad, and many kids, parents (and educators) are unaware of the effects of these stressors. Things like too much video game time, too little breakfast or tension in the home can have profound effects on students' levels of stress which can mean an imbalance of cortisol.
As educators we need to not only be cognizant of how our behaviour and expectations are affecting our students, increasingly we need to work to counteract the effects of outside stresses which may hinder success in the classroom. Of course we have no way of discerning the emotional state (and thus the readiness to learn) of each of the students in front of us. But with ever increasing numbers of kids who have difficulty self regulating most teachers can bet on the fact that some (or many) of the students in front of them on any given day are in either a hyper-aroused or hypo-aroused emotional state. Here are 5 simple things that teachers can do to help students self regulate.
1) Monitor the Physical Surroundings
Avoid clutter, including too much visual stimulation in the form of bright colours and other visual distracters. Yes it's great to have some decoration, and displaying student work is a must, but avoid having your classroom space look too "busy".
2) Allow for Movement and Fidgeting
Sitting still simply isn't an option for some kids, and for many others it's doable, but at a high cost in terms of attention and focus. Some teachers have had great success experimenting with exercise balls instead of seats, disc cushions or simple "fidget toys".
3) Reduce Extraneous Noise
Some noise is good, it's productive and rhythm exercises are great for development. But some kids shut down in the presence of "disorganized" noise. Reduce the number of hard reverberative surfaces where possible, and keep the music area to one corner of the classroom, with a simple divider where possible, so that those not participating can focus on other tasks.
4) Build in Time for Transitions
Most teachers area aware of, and do this, intuitively. But sometimes we try to hurry from one activity to the next. Kids who have difficulty up regulating from a "lighter" activity to something requiring more focus, or down regulating from a busy activity, can get lost in the shuffle if we don't allow time (and perhaps provide a little guidance).
5) Make Your Students Aware of Their Own Mindset
Tools like The Alert Program encourage students to be aware of their own readiness to learn. Young kids will always need some guidance and help to self regulate, but if students are made aware of how they're feeling, and if teachers are aware of how they (and their classroom environment) are affecting students, classroom management issues will be reduced and student learning will be improved.
Recent findings in neurophysiology and psychology (to name but two) are emphasizing the importance of self regulation in children. For a reasonably comprehensive and very practical resource on this topic check out Dr. Stuart Shankar's "Calm, Alert and Learning".

NEW YORK: A statue of Hitler on his knees was auctioned Sunday for $17.2 million, a record for a work by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan.
The wax and resin statue entitled simply "Him" had been expected to fetch between $10 million and $15 million at the auction by Christie's.
The previous record for a work by Cattelan, who is 55, was $7.9 million.
In the statue, Hitler is depicted as being the size of boy, on his knees in a gray woolen suit, with his hands clasped together as he gazes upward.
The work was completed in 2001.

Neil Shaw is a real estate investor and a Redding resident, who helps his wife Kim raise his three step kids. He's an artist specializing in portraits and tropical oil paintings. He is a retired law enforcement officer, having spent most of his career with the Monterey Sheriff's Department before moving to Shasta County.
Over the years as a deputy, the ugly domestic violence situations, encounters with dead bodies and other high stress incidents added up and led to Neil being diagnosed with accumulative Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Not only did an MRI show the stress had altered the structure of his brain, but Neil had changed from his happy-go-lucky self to someone who was cynical and easily angered.
Today, with the help of therapy, prayer, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other supports, Neil has learned to manage the PTSD symptoms and greatly improved his mental and physical health. He shares his story of recovery to community groups and classes throughout the county with the goal of helping people in high-stress jobs avoid having the problems he did.
Depending on the audience, Neil's presentation can highlight the following topics:

Riddles for Kids
Riddles for kids usually involve subjects they know. Examples of topics might be school, cartoons, children's books, video games, parents, food, and animals. Those are not the only topics that riddles for kids covers, but they do give good examples of what kids might know. If you want to challenge your kid or want to introduce him or her to some riddle fun, then some of the following sites below are great places to start.
Riddles for Kids
- AZ Kids is a good site to visit first to read some basic and easy riddles. Most of the riddles involve food or people, so your child should get most of them. Remember for the answer, all you need to do is bring your mouse cursor to hover over the question. The answer will reveal itself in a pop-up block. Besides riddles, you can also find knock knock jokes, elephant jokes, brain teasers, silly questions, and silly rhymes to entertain your kid.
- At Squiggly's Playhouse you can read riddles submitted by young children. New riddles are added each month, so visit the site often so you won't miss the new ones. This website also has pages and pages of jokes based on animals and holidays. You can even join Squiggly's Facebook Page.
- Go to Best Family Advice for a page written and run by a family. The riddle page has some good old fashioned riddles you may have heard before, but there are probably a few you haven't heard. They are separated by topic, like animals or silly. Below the riddles for kids are reader-submitted riddles, making the page a nice collection of brain teasers. You can even submit your own or comment on other riddles.
- Just Riddles and More has a few riddles for children. They are basic and might even be some new ones on there, but most are pretty common. On the left side of the screen is a listing of categories you can pull up to really challenge your kid. With topics such as animals, math, letter, number and more, you can have your kid read a mix of easy and hard riddles to solve. There are hundreds of riddles on this site and, to keep it free, ads will randomly appear in pop-ups unless you have a powerful block installed on your computer.
- For older kids, try some of the riddles at Black Dog 4 Kids. The riddles on this page are a little tougher than most, probably even stumping adults. However, the challenge is fun and some of the answers will make you slap yourself for trying to think too deeply into the riddle.
- Classic riddles exist at Brownie Locks. More than 100 riddles are listed on the page that span decades of riddle writing. Some of the jokes like "What is green and has a trunk? A seasick tourist" may not be understood right away because kids may not realize someone who is turning "green" is considered ill. Those riddles are few and far between. Most of the riddles are fun and, as the site promises, all of the riddles are clean.
Make Your Own Riddle
Riddles come from somewhere, right? Is it easy to come up with a new riddle or at least a riddle someone you know hasn't heard? Sure it is. Basic riddles use fancy wordplay and misdirection and puns to trick the listener. The best way to create a riddle is to start with the answer or what you want the answer to be. Working backwards, try to figure out what other words could mean the same thing as the answer or what other definitions the answer could have. For example, let's say you want to write a riddle about a chair. Obviously, you'll want some of the question to contain information about legs, but you can't leave it at that. The word itself has 'hair' in it. So the question becomes, "What has four legs and hair?" The answer could be almost anything, but you're looking for something so obvious and playing on the words in the question that it slips everyone's mind. When you say "chair," you'll probably have people groan or shake their head, but laugh at a clever riddle.

My wedding is four months from today. That has nothing to do with anything I'm about to write. But there you go.
My support system has been an incredible blessing as I've transitioned to healthier lifestyle. An amazing fiancé and a solid group of sexy ladies have kept me pushing through and encouraged me on any goals I've achieved. It's an irreplaceable thing.
Have you hit a plateau? Have you just lost the urge to go to the gym? Have you fallen into a trap of stopping at Krispie Kreme on your way to work everyday? Share it with your support system! People who love you want you to achieve your goals and want to help you in any way they can.
Accountability with a group of friends or a significant other, or your mom (thanks mom!) is a powerful tool. Be sure you have someone in that group who will be the person who lets you know when you're slacking and pushes you to be better. There is nothing that will renew a fire in you more than a friend pointing out that you haven't been true to yourself and your goals. And that your ass really does look fat in those jeans.
Then there is a different group of friends. You love them. They are so fun…but somehow they convince you to skip your gym session and drink four margaritas with a cheesy enchilada chaser. When you say you can't hit happy hour because you're really committed to a group class, you hear a chorus of "What's one class?"
Jay-Z said it best. Jay-Z always says it best.
All the rappers be hating, off the track that I'm making
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
Got Dirt Off Your Shoulder stuck in your head yet? You're welcome. Your day will now be awesome.
So here's my point. You will run into people who aren't supportive, be it conscious or not, of your fitness goals. I'm not saying defriend them on Facebook, as well as in life. I am saying that it will take some effort to change their opinions of how you should be spending your time. Your eating habits may take a blow or two from them, and you may give into some bacon cheese fries now and again that you otherwise could have spurned.
I always try to make the most time for the supportive, positive folks in my life. It's amazing the effect another person's energy can have on my own! My boss always says that in this world there are energy-givers and energy-takers. So while you're trying to align yourself with those who are building you up, I also encourage you to identify which category you currently fall into.
I'm like young Marvin in his hey.

Before choosing what kind of hosting to use, the user needs to determine what will be required of his or her site applications. Keep in mind that web hosting is usually offered as part of your provider's Internet access plan, many times free of charge and of the Linux-based variety. Linux web hosting also presents a wide variety of software available for use. The most common configuration is the LAMP platform, which consists of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl/Python.
The LAMP combination represents a solution stack (software components required to initiate a fully functional product or service, usually online) that can be used to support and run websites or servers. When put to use, they define web server infrastructures and the programming paradigm of developing software. It can also be used to launch a software distribution package. LAMP is popular because Linux is so cheap in itself, and it usually comes with the LAMP components, the first of which, Linux, is the operating system and has already been discussed.
Apache is the web server component of LAMP. It is an HTTP server and, like Linux, is free and open source software. It provides access to most websites on the Internet and is available for both Unix and Linux. It is the most widely used web server on the market today.
MySQL is the database management system used in LAMP. It is multithreaded and multi-user with the ability to give users access to databases by operating as a server. It has more than 10 million installations.
The programming languages used in LAMP can be either PHP, Perl, or Python. PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is mostly used in server-side application software. Perl is a script programming language similar to C and has features borrowed from shell scripting, AWK, and Stream Editor (sed). Python is a multi-paradigm (mostly functional, object-oriented, and imperative) programming language similar to Perl. (Sometimes Ruby on Rails is used in place of PHP, changing the acronym to LAMR.) These languages can be used with Windows-based web hosting, but they are used primarily on Linux web servers.
Please keep reading for a comparison of the two most popular kinds of web hosting, Linux and Windows.

This game will feature two teams coming off of very different outcomes last week.
Pitt held off a rally by Penn State, while Oklahoma State lost to Central Michigan on one of the greatest Hail Mary's in college football history.
Pitt Panthers
QB Nathan Peterman just needs to manage the game, and he did so well last week, throwing 3 touchdowns but did not reach the 100 yard mark. He will need to make a few more plays to keep the Cowboys offense off the field.
This offense is led by James Conner. He isn't just a feel good comeback story, he has regained his form that made him one of the best running backs in the ACC in 2014.
I expect him to get the ball atleast 25 times this week, and have another dominant game with a couple of scores.
The passing game must improve and its partly on the play of the quarterback but the receivers also have to do a better job getting open.
This week they face a Cowboys defense that somehow gave up one of the craziest hail mary touchdowns in college football history.
I expect Quadry Henderson to have a 75+ yard receiving game, and to grab a touchdown as well.
The defense gave up 39 points to a Penn St offense that wasn't viewed as a juggernaut this season , but they face a much tougher playcaller in Mike Gundy.
I expect another 4 sack performance from the unit this week.
Oklahoma St. Cowboys
Did a bad call cost the Cowboys the game?
A lot of people will say yes, I'll say no. It was a terrible call but you can't put that as the only reason they lost the game to Central Michigan.
QB Mason Rudolph had a good game, throwing 2 touchdowns against the Chippewas D. He will have to make his chances count this week, as I expect Pitt to try and play ball control and keep him and the offense off the field.
Justice Hill and Chris Carson did nothing last week.
Will it be a repeat against the Panthers D? I don't believe so as the panthers gave up 4 touchdowns on the ground. Look for both players to have a bounce back game and each find the endzone.
The defensive secondary got lit up by QB Cooper Rush (30-42 for 361 yds and 4 TDs including the hail mary). I don't expect the same results against Peterman, but they will still give up a few big plays.
NCAA Football Handicapping Trends

Free Week 3 NCAA Football Prediction
It's surprising to say it but Pitt will be 3-0 after this game, and James Conner will lead the way. Take the Panthers and the Under.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Pitt ATS, take the under.
James Conner gets a couple of scores, and the defense will keep Mason Rudolph from making the big explosive plays we normally expect from him.

If you've ever spent the day browsing for cheap plane tickets or scouting out the next Angry Birds installment, you've probably noticed ads on Facebook lining up with what you've been searching for on other sites.
If it seems kind of nefarious and Big Brother-y, that's because it is: Facebook's own ads and the ads it serves through its fledgling FBX ad exchange often tailor what they show you based on data they collect, including your ZIP code and browsing history.
The Digital Advertising Alliance came up with an "AdChoices" logo to help people suss out when they're seeing targeted ads, but up until now, Facebook hasn't joined in and provided the blue logo to its users.
But Mark Zuckerberg's social media powerhouse is changing its tune, partially due to pressure from various ad agencies and advertisers. According to AdAge, you'll soon be able to see which Facebook-administered ads are using your data.
If you drag your mouse over the tiny "x" in the right hand corner above Facebook's ads, you will see whether or not it's a pure coincidence the icon shows incredibly discounted airfare to Vegas or if Facebook figured out your plans to hit the strip by mining your data. You probably can't see it yet if you log on to check it out today, since Facebook still has to update its code, but the change will go into effect by the end of the quarter.
What to do if you want to get rid of targeted ads on Facebook now? Well, as we mentioned, you'll have to wait to get Facebook itself off your browsing trail, but if you have time and patience, you can get rid of most of its third-party partners by manually clicking over each of their ads.
When you drag your mouse over the upper-right "x" you'll get a few options: You can hide one individual ad, you can find out more about the ad, or you can hide all advertisements from this particular advertising partner. Click "hide all," and then prepare to spend an obnoxious chunk of time repeating these steps, because Facebook has a lot of ad partners.
This doesn't mean you still won't see ads that hew suspiciously close to your interests elsewhere, but it should minimize the amount you see when you're cyberstalking your crush on Facebook.
And lest you think all targeted Facebook ads are forged in the fiery den of Satan, we'll just remind you that a man used ads honing in on his geographic neighbors to find his missing cat.

An explosive device has been thrown at former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams' house in west Belfast, the party has said.
In a statement the party added activist Bobby Storey's house was also attacked.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) confirmed that it was investigating two incidents in west Belfast.
Mr Adams, a member of parliament in the Republic of Ireland, tweeted that no-one was hurt at his house.
Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly said "these were reprehensible and cowardly attacks".
"Grandchildren were in the driveway of Adams' home minutes before the attack," he added.
An explosive was also thrown at Bobby Storey's house, the northern chairman of Sinn Féin and a former member of the Provisional IRA.
Mr Storey was involved in the Maze Prison escape in 1983, where 38 IRA prisoners escaped from the maximum security prison.
Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) leader Colum Eastwood condemned the attacks as "disgraceful".
"It is important, at moments like this, that we all stand together against those who want to drag us back to the past," he said.
"They should be left in no doubt, it will not work."
Analysis by Chris Page, Ireland correspondent
Gerry Adams has spoken several times in the past about death threats made against him – by loyalists and by dissident republicans who are opposed to the peace process.
Sinn Féin's statement about the attacks on the homes of Mr Adams and Bobby Storey doesn't explicitly pin the blame on republican splinter groups.
However, the party's reference to "increasingly desperate and irrelevant groups" firmly points in that direction – and republicans who have expressed support for Mr Adams on social media have condemned dissidents as "criminals" and "thugs".
A number of hours earlier, Mr Adams's successor as Sinn Fein President – Mary Lou McDonald – strongly denounced the dissidents who are believed to be behind recent rioting in Londonderry as "warped, negative, regressive, dangerous people".
The attacks come after six nights of violence in Londonderry, which led to six people being arrested on Thursday evening.
Over the course of Thursday 75 petrol bombs and two improvised explosives were thrown at PSNI officers.
Police accused dissident republicans of the attacks, which have taken place around the Twelfth of July parades, a frequent heightening of tensions centred around the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne.
Who is Gerry Adams?
Mr Adams, 69, spent nearly 34 years at the helm of Irish republican party Sinn Féin.
During The Troubles Mr Adams survived several attempts on his life, including a 1984 gun attack by loyalist paramilitaries.
He is one of the most recognisable and controversial figures in Irish politics
Two months after the death of Martin McGuinness in 2017, Mr Adams announced he would step down as leader. He was succeeded by Mary Lou McDonald.

Safer Bruce Highway now open south of Townsville
Media Release
29 October 2015
Joint release with:
Mark Bailey
Queensland Minister for Main Roads, Road Safety and Ports
George Christensen
Federal Member for Dawson
The completion of the Vantassel Street to Cluden upgrade project south of Townsville will deliver a safer and more efficient Bruce Highway, improving connectivity and flood immunity for all road users.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Warren Truss has announced the completion of the project as part of the Australian Government's record $6.7 billion investment to fix the Bruce Highway.
"The completion of these important works will improve access during times of flood and create a safer, more reliable and timely commute for locals, freight operators, construction traffic, tourists and all who depend on the Bruce," Mr Truss said.
"The upgrade of Vantassel Street to Cluden Drive section represents Stage 1 of the complete redevelopment of the Townsville Southern Access Corridor, a 22km section of the Bruce Highway between Killymoon Creek and Cluden. With the highest traffic volumes, the stretch of the highway between Vantassel Street and Cluden was the top priority to be fixed.
"Ultimately, the Southern Access Corridor will improve travel times for motorists as well as improve local access and safety for the growing communities of Cluden, Julago, Alligator Creek and Rocky Springs."
Queensland Minister for Main Roads, Road Safety and Ports Mark Bailey said the project works involved duplication of an existing seven kilometre two-lane section of the Bruce Highway to four lanes, between Vantassel Street and Cluden Drive.
"The extra lanes will increase the road's capacity and efficiency to support long term industrial and population growth within the region. More than 228 jobs have been supported throughout the construction of this project that has delivered major road safety improvements along the Bruce Highway," Mr Bailey said.
Federal Member for Dawson George Christensen said works on the Vantassel Street to Cluden upgrade also included intersection upgrades and the construction of a new bridge and rail overpass.
"This project will improve the safety, capacity, freight efficiency and flood immunity on the Bruce Highway at the southern approach to Townsville," Mr Christensen said.
The Bruce Highway Vantassel to Cluden upgrade is jointly funded with the Australian Government contributing $122.8 million and the Queensland Government contributing $30.8 million.

Baltimore area contractors have a new equipment rental resource to rely on in the New Year – Neff Rental.
In response to requests from customers who have rented equipment from our branches in Landover, MD, and Manassas, VA, Neff Rental opened a new branch in Baltimore, MD, on January 5 to provide trench safety, earth moving, material handling, aerial and other equipment to existing and new customers. The Baltimore branch's phone number is (410) 686-4044.
Located near the intersection of I-95 and I-695 in northeast Baltimore at 9714 Pulaski Highway, the Neff Rental branch mirrors the trench safety, construction and industrial equipment and tools at our other branches. The branch serves Baltimore-area customers, as well as industrial facilities, ports, military reservations and construction job sites in nearby Wilmington, DE, Harrisburg and Philadelphia.
Neff Rental believes that long-term relationships contribute to both our customers' success and our success. That is why current customers may recognize familiar faces and names at the Baltimore branch. Keith Thomas and Will Steinmetz, both from the Landover branch, and Lewis Douglas, from Richmond, VA, will provide rental sales support. Pasco Logan, formerly Landover's shop foreman, is Baltimore's service manager and is joined by Chad Ulrich, a Landover mechanic. Blake Eldridge, a veteran sales representative from Charleston, SC, is the branch manager.
Neff Rental is making a long-term commitment to customers in the greater Baltimore area and nearby metropolitan areas. While serving customers for a period of time from the Pulaski Highway location, we are building a permanent branch facility about a mile away in White Marsh, MD, which will open in 2016.
The Neff Rental Baltimore team is looking forward to serving its current Baltimore customers, and meeting new customers. Call us today at 410-686-4044 to talk about your equipment rental needs.
