Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
Describe the transition that took place with Sophia Auld.
Narrative of the life: an american slave
Narrative of the life: an american slave
Sophia Keithley Auld married Hugh Auld and was Douglass's mistress in Baltimore. Before her marriage she worked as a weaver. She treated him kindly and respectfully when he first moved in with the family, but soon fell prey to the downfalls of slavery. She became cruel and controlling, especially after her husband forbade her to teach Douglass his ABCs. However, she and Douglass stayed in contact even when he moved to the North, and her son told Douglass that she had always spoken of him kindly. Unlike the other women, she did always feel a sense of compassion for Douglas.

Come and join the Diversity Programmers at the Dine and Dialogue Series! This session acknowledges Women's History Month and deals with gender issues. At this session, we will be answering questions such as: "How have gender roles impacted your life?"and "Do you think women are underrepresented in any aspects of modern American life?"

- Acknowledge that others have a perspective on issues other than their own

Free Ottawa yoga class scrapped over 'cultural issues'
Student leaders have pulled the mat out from 60 University of Ottawa students, ending a free on-campus yoga class over fears the teachings could be seen as a form of "cultural appropriation."
Jennifer Scharf, who has been offering free weekly yoga instruction to students since 2008, says she was shocked when told in September the program would be suspended, and saddened when she learned of the reasoning.
Staff at the Centre for Students with Disabilities believe that "while yoga is a really great idea and accessible and great for students … there are cultural issues of implication involved in the practice," according to an email from the centre.

Fox 40 Goes to Camp: Teamwork makes the dream work
This year's Patriots squad is led by more than 20 seniors joined by several younger players thirsty to prove themselves at the varsity level. While last year's team relied in the talent of the individual, this year's is all about teamwork.
"This year's seniors, we're really coming together and we're making sure our younger players are stepping up and we're making sure we're all just molded as one. It's not an individual thing, it's a team thing," said Senior Linebacker Vincent Dell'Arciprete.
"Teamwork is key," said Head Coach Mike Ramil. "In football, if you're not playing together as a team and you're relying on just specific individuals, it's not going to work out as well as you want. Kids are going to get injured and you're not really meshing as a team. This year these guys are really focused on the teamwork aspect of the game and I think we're going to compete at a much higher level because of that."
Binghamton begins the season in the Carrier Dome against Auburn on Saturday at 11:00 am.

That was the first thing Cooper said when he put on his tiger mask. Then he ran around the house like a loon raaring at everything. Yes, tiger masks are great fun.
They are easy to make too. The main things you need to make one are a paper plate, black card and some orange paint.
I've put together a quick slideshow with step-by-step instructions, so you can make masks with your little tigers.
Have fun!

Naoki Hiroshima is a Web developer in California. Until recently, his Twitter handle was @N – a unique name, to say the least.
But last week, according to Mr. Hiroshima's own account, he received a text message from PayPal, asking for a verification code. He ignored the message until he received an e-mail from GoDaddy, alerting him to changes in his account settings. As it turned out, a hacker had apparently commandeered both accounts with the purpose, Hiroshima says, of forcing him to hand over his @N handle.
It was extortion, in other words, and Hiroshima believes that PayPal and GoDaddy, in allowing the hacker to use simple credit card information to access his account, were complicit in the scam.
"Stupid companies may give out your personal information (like part of your credit card number) to the wrong person," Hiroshima wrote in a post on Medium. "Some of those companies are still employing the unacceptable practice of verifying you with the last some digits of your credit card. To avoid their imprudence from destroying your digital life, don't let companies such as PayPal and GoDaddy store your credit card information."
Of course, as Julianne Pepitone of NBC News notes this afternoon, it's likely that we haven't heard the end of this one – PayPal, for instance, says it didn't give out any of Hiroshima's information to anyone. Meanwhile, the @N handle is again live, operating under the moniker badal_news.
Here's the official statement from GoDaddy:
Our review of the situation reveals that the hacker was already in possession of a large portion of the customer information needed to access the account at the time he contacted GoDaddy. The hacker then socially engineered an employee to provide the remaining information needed to access the customer account. The customer has since regained full access to his GoDaddy account, and we are working with industry partners to help restore services from other providers.
At the very least, the whole debacle seems to be a lesson that it can never hurt to be too careful when it comes to Internet security. But as Matthew Panzarino of TechCrunch notes, for the time being, some problems seem to be out of our hands.
"The question about what can be done to improve security in these matters is a long-running one," Mr. Panzarino writes. "There have been some changes like two-factor authentication being offered by more vendors – but sloppy procedures like allowing account resets with credit-card numbers (especially partial ones!) remain commonplace."
Panzarino points out "that many of these 'hacks' don't take any special technical knowledge. They just require a methodical and bold operator that is willing to pick up the phone and follow a script."

Menards is a chain of home improvement stores located primarily in the Midwest, not a shower enclosure manufacturer. You can, however, purchase shower enclosures from a variety of manufacturers at your local Menards store.
Menards offers a variety of tub and shower enclosures for your bathroom from companies such as Peerless, Mustee, Imperial and Dreamline. However, Menards does not offer any installation services when you purchase a shower enclosure.

You can browse the list of shower enclosures that Menards sells online at Menards.com, or use their handy "Store Locator" to find a store near you. When shopping for a shower enclosure, make sure to know the dimensions of the space where you plan to install the new enclosure.

OGDENSBURG – Ogdensburg City School District Board of Education member Michael Tooley took a moment to publicly appreciate the life and contributions of former District Superintendent of Schools Wesley Stitt at Monday's meeting.
Stitt passed away on Feb. 15 and held the superintendent position from 1979 until his retirement in 1990, at which time he retired as the longest tenured superintendent in the history of the district.
"I think it's important as a school community that we publicly express our condolences to Janet Stitt and the Stitt family upon the passing of Wes Stitt," Tooley said.
"Wes Stitt was a valuable leader in this school community for many years during his time as Superintendent of Schools and gave so much to this local community. He expanded outside of Ogdensburg to SUNY Canton and so on," Tooley added.
Stitt was involved with many area boards and organizations during his retirement years, including the Canton College Council and the Frederic Remington Art Museum.
"He was just a great guy to be around, so I do think it's important to state publicly that we miss him and express condolences to the family," Tooley said.

Obsidian Asks Gamers: What Should We Create?
Peter Donnell / 7 years ago
It seems "Kickstarter fever" is spreading to other developers. Following news that Double Fine Productions' unnamed adventure title generated over $1 million in fan-funding in only 24 hours, Obsidian Entertainment is now seriously considering tapping into the same funding scheme. But what should they make? Well, that's where you come in. The developer is asking for suggestions. How about Neverwinter Nights 3? Or maybe… something similar to Planescape: Torment 2?
Obsidian Entertainment's creative director, Chris Avellone, made it clear on the official forums that he is interested in pursuing a fan-funded video game:
"The idea of player-supported funding is… well, it's proof certain genres aren't dead and sequels may have more legs than they seem. And the idea of not having to argue that with a publisher is appealing.
Out of curiosity, if Obsidian did Kickstart a project, what would you want to see funded?"
Interestingly, Avellone was the lead developer of Black Isle Studios' classic RPG, Planescape: Torment, hence the (awesome) suggestion in the lead paragraph. Maybe you should go over the forums right now and let him know that, yes, this is indeed a stellar idea.

Mr. Woods could net $60 million over the next five years from Nike and Titleist alone, according to his agent, Hughes Norton, senior VP of golf at International Management Group.
Both companies have agreed to pay Mr. Woods a guaranteed amount over the first three years, possibly as much as $40 million combined, regardless of whether he qualifies for the PGA Tour.
"It reflects the measure of their long-term faith and confidence in Tiger that they won't penalize him a cent if he doesn't make the tour in the first three years," said Mr. Norton.
Mr. Woods' good looks, charisma and celebrity will score him other sponsors. Deals with a soft drink or an automotive marketer could come next, and talks have taken place with McDonald's Corp., as Mr. Woods craves its products "morning, noon and night," said Mr. Norton.
"He even recently missed a plane because he got tied up at an airport McDonald's, grabbing a bite to eat," he said.
Money aside, there are other reasons why Mr. Woods isn't just another athlete endorser for Nike and Titleist, which will have him endorsing golf balls and equipment. As he is only 20, and part African-American, part Native-American, part Chinese and part Thai, Mr. Woods will be used to reach demographic segments most golf marketers don't aggressively pursue.
"Tiger wants to be an ambassador of change among minorities and youth, and that's certainly a goal of Nike," said Merle Marting, marketing communications manager for Nike's golf division, which accounted for nearly 2% of its $6 billion in fiscal 1996.
"In the future, we will use Tiger in our brand communications, not just as a category representative."
A signature line of Tiger Woods branded apparel is being considered.
According to National Golf Foundation, there were about 2 million active golfers age 12 to 17 in 1995, up from 1.7 million in 1994. There were about 5.2 million active golfers age 18 to 29 in '95, down from 5.4 million the previous year.
"History has shown that a celebrity name can inspire people to take up the game," said Judy Thompson, an NGF spokeswoman. "Just as Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus inspired the baby boomers, Tiger Woods may do the same for their children."
Nike launched its first Tiger Woods campaign in The Wall Street Journal with a three-page ad, using the tagline, "Hello, world."
Quickly assembled TV spots with Mr. Woods replaced regularly scheduled creative and aired during ABC's and ESPN's broadcasts of the Greater Milwaukee Open, Mr. Woods first tourney as a pro, plus NBC's and Fox's National Football league broadcasts last weekend.
Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, Ore., is the agency.
Titleist is preparing its own campaign featuring Mr. Woods, who will continue to play with his Mizuno brand clubs through October, during which time the American Brands unit will develop a set of clubs to his specifications.

Watch President Barack Obama on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. President Barack Obama recently appeared on Zach Galifianakis' Show on FunnyorDie.com. President Obama sparred with the comedian, delivering more than a few zingers and derived laughs at the expense of the obnoxious host. The US President plugged healthcare.gov, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the attributes of the new law during his appearance.
On Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis:
Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis is an internet comedy series that appears on the video website Funny or Die. As the show's title suggests, host Zach Galifianakis conducts celebrity interviews sitting with his guests between two potted ferns: the set intentionally resembles a low-budget amateur production for public-access television. Galifianakis maintains an awkward and often antagonistic demeanor with his guests, asking them bizarre and inappropriate questions mixed with offhand non-sequiturs. Episodes often include a segment in which Galifianakis awkwardly interrupts his guests to promote a sponsor's product—examples include bananas, the video game Need for Speed: Shift, and (most frequently) Speed Stick deodorant. The series' theme music is Dave Blume's arrangement of Bernard Herrmann's theme from Taxi Driver, which is on the original Taxi Driver soundtrack album but was not included in the film.
Watch President Obama on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis and leave your thoughts on it below in the comments section.

One of the professors I had asked for a letter of recommendation had had problems submitting it to the two non-Chicago schools I applied to. He said he'd contacted the schools about it, but then I never heard anything back from him after that. (This was two months ago -- shortly after the application deadline for Columbia, which had the latest deadlines.) Since he didn't tell me he was still having problems, I figured that he must have gotten it worked out.
I haven't heard from Columbia yet, so this evening I checked online to see when I might expect to hear back from them. It turns out they have a "Track your application" thing that I'd not taken advantage of. According to it, as of February 5th they had not received a third letter of recommendation. Whoops. Guess it didn't get worked out. I can guess what I am going to hear from Columbia, since I did not actually complete my application there.
This may or may not be why I heard back from Pitt so quickly; their site doesn't have a way to tell if all my application stuff showed up for them or not. If it didn't, this would explain why they told me "Sorry, this application is not a winner" after only a few weeks. It is also possible that only Columbia had a problem with the application, or that the problem is merely on their website, and my application was just weak enough that I got cut in the first round.
Oh, if you've been wondering why I suddenly stopped blogging: I heard back from Pitt a few weeks ago, and have spent the intervening time feeling sorry for myself. Not the most productive reaction. I've read a lot of comics in the past few weeks.
I've reread about a third of "Cerebus" for instance. "Mothers & Daughters" has grown on me; it's an obvious mess in a lot of ways, but I think the messiness works. In the infamous issue 186, the last issue of "Reads", Victor Davis is paranoid about overpopulation and extols the virtues of the Creative Light Of Art, and associates all of this with flat-out crazy talk about women as "voids" that suck out the "light" of men etc. etc. (anyone who has heard of "Cerebus" should know the issue I'm talking about). But earlier in "Reads", Suenteus Po had made a snide remark about overpopulation to Cirin ("Why won't you admit that in an overpopulated world, the greatest self-indulgence is childbirth?"), and Suenteus Po's ideal life is "Sit alone in my apartment and play chess with myself until I die of old age, aiming merely to harm neither myself or another" -- this is not a paradigm of artistry. Quoth Po: "It is self-indulgence. UNPRODUCTIVE self-indulgence. I admit that. Freely." In fact, of the four comic-style characters in "Reads", only Astoria aims to produce anything creative -- she is going to go build the house/garden she's always dreamed about, a lovely little bit of architecture. Astoria, of course, is a woman, while Po is male. And these sorts of tensions run through the entire book -- basically, I think Dave is good enough at making comics that his crazy opinions aren't allowed to stand in his own comic. (And this is itself something quite interesting, considering all the stuff about self-publishing -- even with no one restricting what he can say, Dave can't "say what he wants to say"; his own art undermines what he takes to be his points. And this is something Victor Davis is aware of -- for Victor Davis (and for Dave), Cerebus and Estarcion are "real" in the same sense anything is, even "more real than today's headlines". And this is further undermined by the fact that Victor Davis, the creator of "Cerebus", is just a character in Dave's book -- which is further undermined by the fact that Dave is a character, too! And Victor Reid, who exists only in Estarcion and is not the creator of "Cerebus", is also Dave -- "Reid" is his mother's maiden name, and "Victor" is his middle name. Victor Reid is Victor Davis (Dave Sim) if Victor Davis (Dave Sim) hadn't gone into self-publishing, and he is also just a character in the book who writes about Cirinism & Kevilism and produces schlocky "reads" to pay the bills while he forever postpones what he really wanted to write about -- and this rejection of what he really wanted to create is simultaneously a rejection of the woman in his life. I get a kick out of this sort of thing.)
So, since philosophy has reminded me of impending doom come the fall, I have avoided reading much of it, and so have not been blogging. Instead I've read a few thousand pages of a funnybook about a cartoon aardvark who kills people with a sword. Also Oscar Wilde dies in it; I like that bit a lot. It's well-done. And there are some funny jokes, and the lettering is the best ever.
But I digress.
I applied to three grad schools: Chicago, Columbia, and Pitt. I suspect I only managed to get my application completed for Chicago, but I only realized that this evening. (I can't recall if the third Chicago letter actually got submitted, or if Chicago just needed one fewer letters than the other schools.)
So, everything's riding on Chicago.
I got the letter this afternoon: I was not accepted into the philosophy PhD program. Frowntown.
I did, however, get accepted into this. Which I didn't apply to; my application was referred to them without my knowledge. I didn't know this program existed until today.
The "Master of Arts Program in the Humanities" is designed for interdisciplinary studies. Given how scattershot my undergraduate transcript must look, I am not surprised that I got referred to this. It's a one-year MA program composed of nine courses: A required core "Introduction to Interpretive Theory" course which is an "Introduction to Theory"-type thing, a colloquium/master's thesis, and then seven other classes. The seven classes can be anything at Chicago; there would appear to be no reason not to take seven philosophy courses, but if I see a random theology or economics course that just looks too great to pass up, I can jump on it. And then after Ive had a Theory class and seven other courses of some sort and written a 25-35 page thesis, I get an MA.
Now, a humanities MA is, from everything I have heard from anyone ever, totally and utterly worthless. But, this gives me a year to make myself into a more competitive PhD candidate, and lets me go to the University of Chicago for a year. Beats temp work.
I'll almost certainly have a "down" year before I start PhD work (since most of the MAPH work, including the thesis which is pretty much a lock for use as a "writing sample", won't have happened by the time PhD applications are due in December). But if it weren't for the MAPH thing, I would have a "down" year anyway -- and I'd be applying for PhD programs next year with nothing more to show for it than I have now. (I'd pick up some work experience and would have plenty of time to get a better writing sample written by my lonesome. Not thrilled with those prospects.) So, the "down" year is effectively a given -- a sunk cost. And so there's no reason to fret about it; this is simply how things have worked out. No use crying over spilt milk and all that. And now I'll have a year of graduate-student playtime to make sure that I wouldn't really prefer to go back to law school, or try seminary, or live under a highway and beg for food.
Good enough. I am satisfied with this, considering I expected to get into Nothing Whatsoever and be cast utterly adrift in short order. I like school. More school, hooray!
The required "core" course is a capital-'T' Theory course. Freud, Lacan, Marx, Althusser, Zizek, "Mr. Lisa Goes To Washington", etc. This is not what I expected to be doing in my graduate program. But what the hey; I've ended up wasting God-knows-how-many hours on Zizek already, it will not kill me to take a class in the stuff. (Or if it does kill me then this solves my application problems. Win-win.) I suppose this is penance for CLEPping out of my undergraduate Composition courses.
In a sense I am of course disappointed that I didn't make it into any PhD programs, but then I never thought I deserved to get into any of them. (And this not just in the good Kantian "I do not deserve to be happy because I am less than perfectly virtuous" sense, but in the "I really feel underqualified for these programs" sense.) So, I got what I thought I deserved, and I also got into a master's program which I had never heard of, but which looks primed to make me more attractive to graduate schools the next time 'round. Hard to be too upset about that.

Probably should have followed up on that, in retrospect
I applied to three grad schools: Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Columbia. The past few months have been a long wait.

Sorry to hear about the PhD programs (I'd been curious, but I certainly wasn't going to ask). I've been there, so I know how disappointing it is. Fortunately, once you get your doctorate, you get to go through the whole experience again when you apply for jobs.
I think the MA program at Chicago is a heck of a silver lining. As you say, you can take philosophy courses, get to know Conant and Co., and hopefully increase your chances of getting into their PhD program (or someone else's). That, and you get to eat Gino's and attend the Wittgenstein Workshop (I'm envious). That beats the hell out of the alternative.

The average RN tends to be smarter--and more useful, intellectually and socially speaking--than a Philo-PHD. The Periodic table puts Kant to shame. Get that nursing cert, S-Dania! See see puede.
h suspect even WVOQuine thought along those lines (note his consistent use of examples from the natural sciences, even when discussing "logic").

So you're going to Chicago then? Awesome. I look forward to your eventual reports on Wittgenstein workshops. Say hi to Currence (if he's still there; he may be a senior, I don't know). That core course looks wild. Good thing you've already tangled with the Sage of Ljubljana. I think I might blow a gasket if I had to take that.
You can still try to avoid a "down" year, right? You don't have to submit your Master's thing. Just write something brilliant over the summer.
BTW, when I applied to Pitt, I heard back right away. I imagine they took one look at my app and had a good laugh.

"You can still try to avoid a "down" year, right? You don't have to submit your Master's thing. Just write something brilliant over the summer."
Yeah, if I write something I really like before December 15th, I'll probably donate another $60 to Chicago at least. The autumn quarter would be finished by that point, though I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten back any grades yet. The FAQ on the website makes it clear that they strongly advise against trying to apply to other programs while completing the MAPH, but of course if I feel convinced it's worth a shot then I'll go ahead and try again anyway.
A "down" year actually might not be the worst thing for me; I really wanted to take a year off before law school just to figure out what I wanted to do after undergrad. (It turned out that instead I'm taking a semester off, and have a few thousand dollars of debt from my law school adventure.) I can stay on my parents' health insurance policy so long as I'm not out of school for nine months or more, which is why I didn't take a year off last fall. (I can't remember if I've mentioned that I'm a type-one insulin-dependent diabetic. That gets expensive quickly.)
I'm still young, too; if I spend the next year at Chicago, have a "down" year, and then start grad school the following fall, I'll be 24. Even if the classes I take next year end up counting for nothing towards the PhD program's requirements, I'd still have a few years to finish my dissertation before I hit 30.

Whoa, cool (about the MAPH program, sorry to hear about the PhD programs).
I love that Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet is required for that course.
Re: a "down" year. Yeah, all the professors here advise taking a down year (at least for undergrads), and one reason is that Chicago starts later (by a month or so, maybe?) than other schools, and the quarter system means you get less exposure to professors (tho, more professors, of course) and less time to work on a decent writing sample, before apps for grad school are due.

Yeah, I am used to starting on Labor Day; Chicago is pretty close to a full month after that. The MAPH program has an orientation-type thing that starts two weeks before normal classes, and I'll still be going to school at least a week later than I ever have.
(Yes, on Labor Day. That is one of the fun things about going to a private university -- wonky holidays. One year the fall semester began on Labor Day, and the spring semester began on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On the other hand, we always got the Monday after Easter off, which is nice.)

For what its worth, I've always been impressed by your philosophical acumen and range of interests. With a year under your belt at chicago and a polished writing sample, you can bet that programs will be knocking your door down the next time around.
btw, why only pitt, columbia, and chicago? Did you think about any other places?

"btw, why only pitt, columbia, and chicago? Did you think about any other places?"
I recall looking at Berkeley and Stanford briefly, but I just don't want to live in California. I was looking for schools which had good placement records and which would let me keep focusing on Davidson/Kant/Hegel/Wittgenstein. That eliminated a lot of schools pretty quickly.
I didn't apply to any "safe" schools -- any schools I was confident I could get into -- on the theory that if I wasn't going to go to a top-tier program, I'd be happier going back to law school. (And then either trying to get into a philosophy program later, or just playing with this stuff as a hobby while doing normal lawyer-type work.)
Also, thanks for the compliments.
Update on MAPH: It turns out the scholarship I was offered (which is the highest mentioned on the MAPH website) is only offered to about 20 students each year. a winnar is me~

TROY—A Pakistani student studying at Troy University has found the food in Alabama something to get used to, but the University's culture is familiar.
Syed Aoun Ali, an exchange student from Forman Christian College in Lahore, Pakistan, is at TROY as a part of the State Department's Global Undergraduate Exchange Program. He has spent the spring semester on the Troy Campus and will return to his home institution later this month.
"I have to stick to burgers and fries," he said. "Honestly though, few things are new to me. I watched a lot of American dramas, news and international news (before coming to America)."
Some aspects that are new to Ali, however, is the technology used in the University's education program, including Internet usage and Blackboard, TROY's online learning framework that connects teachers, students and class assignments.
"I like using the Internet and Blackboard," Ali said. "We don't have Blackboard over there. It's very easy to take quizzes online and the professors are good."
The American system of higher education also appeals to Ali, who thinks the learning is "easy" due to the quality of instruction and the specificity of the textbooks.
"It's exciting," Ali said. "It's easier over here and there are a lot of opportunities (to learn) over here. It's easy to get a 4.0 GPA (grade point average) because books and professors are very specific."
Apart from his studies, the student has found time for extracurricular activities like jogging, playing table tennis and hitting the gym.
"It's awesome here," he added. "I like the weather, the class times and the professor's teaching techniques."
The Global UGRAD-Pakistan program aims to advance youth leadership and promote mutual understanding by providing one academic term of non-degree undergraduate U.S. study to a diverse group of emerging student leaders from underrepresented sectors of Pakistan.

November the wettest one ever
By BRENDAN KIRBY
Staff Writer
November ended as it began - in a driving rain.
It took only the first seven days of the month to shatter the previous monthly record for rainfall in Hagerstown. On Nov. 7, just over 4 inches of rain fell, pushing the total for the month past the 1972 mark of 6.54 inches, according to records kept by Hagerstown weather observer Greg Keefer.
The National Weather Service has tracked a large number of storms passing across the country, meteorologist Dewey Walston said.
"There's been a lot of storms across the southern United States. The more storms you have, the more rain you have," he said. "It could be attributed to El Nino, I guess. The good thing about it is there's no cold air."

We spent several hours as an entire team yesterday going over team documents, visions, strategy, and the like. In retrospect, we forgot to address the following. The reminder would have been good for me, apparently.
Unofficial team motto: "We'd really like to avoid a trip to the hospital."
Unofficial team policy: Don't do anything stupid.
I have once again managed to violate both of those at once ( I guess they often go hand in hand) and explore the inner workings of the Romanian health care system (which, for all its problems...is FREE).
I now have a cut above my left eye that will turn into a scar that will match the one over my right eye quite nicely.

I received this in my inbox today, from Flylady. I liked it and thought I'd share:
No More Parents Left Behind by Alice Wellborn:
Christmas is a season of celebration and joy, but it is also the time of year when we all focus on gifts. Let's forget about material gifts for a moment, and think about the gifts that our children bring to their lives.
One of the few things that I dislike about my job is the focus on children's weaknesses. We get so involved in figuring out what's wrong that we forget to figure out what's right. The emphasis on weaknesses is really pretty foolish, because we base our lives on our strengths. Schools don't have the time anymore to appreciate the whole child -- all the different gifts that children can have that may have nothing to do with school learning, but can have everything to do with living a good life. Teachers need to value all of the gifts that children bring to school. Success breeds success, and the confidence, energy, and motivation that success brings to children just seems to spill over into everything else they do.
There are lots of different ways to be "smart". "School smart" requires logical, sequential reasoning skills, a good memory, and the ability to thing abstractly. But we all know people who have a "green thumb" with plants, or who have a wonderful way with animals. Others have a wonderful way with people -- they have great social skills and they have a sense of how people feel and how to help. Lots of people who have trouble reading can take an engine apart, figure out what's wrong, and put it back together perfectly. Some of the most spiritual people I've known have been very simple people in other ways. I'm always impressed with people who are talented in the arts. The problem is that it isn't until high school that students really get to explore and use these other kinds of gifts.
Although we are all judged in our first 18 years of life on our ability to be "school smart", for the next 50 years we actually get to do what we're good at! I know several people who were very successful at school, but who have failed at living a happy, productive adult life. I also know many people who struggled in school, but who are very successful in life. I've worked in this same small town for 33 years, and a lot of the kids I evaluated in the past have grown up and had families of their own. I see them everywhere I go, and I can tell you for a fact that "school smart" is not a ticket to success. It certainly helps, but it's no guarantee.
So what should we do as parents? We need to work very hard to help our children do as well as possible in school, both with learning and with discipline, and then work just as hard at helping them find their gifts. When I talk to parents of disabled children, I tell them that their most important job is to find out what their child is good at and make sure they have every opportunity to excel in that area. We all have to be good at something, or we just give up on ourselves. Remember that sometimes we adults get so focused on a child's weaknesses that we forget about strengths, and strengths are what each of us builds our life on.
The last and maybe the most important thing to say about finding a child's gifts is this: You have to love the child you've been given. We don't get to pick for our children. All we can do is give them lots of opportunities to figure out who they are and what they can do, and then support them and love them as they become the person they're meant to be. It's their dream and their life. We don't mold children, we unfold them.
Our very own education specialist Alice Wellborn is now a regular contributor at FlyLady.net and we are thrilled to share her wise words with all of you. Alice is a school psychologist and the author of the amazingly helpful book No More Parents Left Behind.

We are able to offer emergency appointments on most days. The fee for this appointment is £100
Use this contact form to make an enquiry.
The appointments will need to be paid for at the time of booking over the phone by credit card. A receipt can be provided at the time of the appointment.
The purpose of the appointment will be to address and stabilize the complaint and most importantly control any pain. We will endeavor to provide a permanent solution however you will be informed of any further work required to address the problem.
An emergency appointment is not a substitute for a complete Oral Health Assessment and only the complaint will be dealt with. Further appointments can be arranged if a complete assessment is wanted or required.
Examples of an emergency appointment include:
- A simple filling has been lost – this usually can be replaced with a permanent filling.
- An abcess has developed and root canal therapy is needed – the affected tooth will be dressed, stabilized and made pain free – further work will be quoted for or your own dentist can continue with treatment.
- A crown has come off – it will be recemented if possible – otherwise a temporary crown will be constructed.
- A wisdom tooth has become infected – it will be assessed and treated with antibiotics. Extraction if needed may require a full assessment and xrays.
- If a routine extraction is required this may be completed during the emergency appointment.
If a denture has broken this will not be able to be repaired on that day and may require the denture to be sent to a laboratory for repair. This could take 1-3 days.
NHS patients are not registered with a dental practice. However, patients seen at our practice in the previous 3 months should telephone the practice and we will arrange for patients to be seen as soon as possible.
For all patients the Local Health Authority operates an emergency service. This is available Monday to Friday from 6.00 pm until 8.00am the next day. The service is also available on weekends and public holidays. In order to access the service, telephone 029 20 444500.

Umit you know what .... I have found that when TC's run out of good ideas and debates they turn to enosis. I am not going to buy into that. Enosis was the dream of few fascists it did not happen and was burried very quickly.
Your community on the other hand supports Turkeys and is giving your country and my country to Turkey each and evry day and your community is becoming extinct to the very people your regime supports.
Go on the attack all you like Umit.... I have heard it all before (am not a humanist because I want a unified Cyprus where all Cypriots have equal access ato their country and equal rights). How many times have you spoken about a unified country on this forum and how many times have I? So if you think I will allow that last coment to even touch a part of my soul it ain't gonna happen. How many times have you recognised the ills that happened to either community and how many times have I? How many times have you spoken against bad decisions of your leader and how many have I?
Why am I selfish about wanting what is rightfully mine? How many times have I said on this very forum I have no problems with TC's getting their homes and properties back and affording us the same rights?
If you make coments liek that qualify them.
Umit do me a favour and go find the thread of your first posts where you said your family lives in a greek speaking Cypriot's home and see my response about re-housing etc, then come back and say I do not think of others and especially the speaking Cypriot community, look at my posts around the thread of the church making sugestion to give land to re-house TC's.

Healthcare & Humidifiers
Unfortunately when the dreaded cold hits your family home, your little ones can suffer and don't have the voice to tell you what's wrong. Humidifiers can help to prevent winter infections and help to relieve sinus pains and sore throats. Once you have the room at a comfortable humidity for your little one you might find it useful to keep a thermometer or nasal aspirator handy to check on them and relieve their symptoms. You can shop for all of your healthcare supplies here!

life 101
I've gotten a lot of mail since I opened this place up again and, as usual, I've been pretty damn slack in responding to it. A lot of you sent nice emails, asking about my cryptic little message here my first day back about being single again. Not nosy inquiries; more along the lines of concern and support, which is nice.
So let me just say this about that.
Life happens. That's the only way to look at it without being too hard on yourself. There are things you do in life - paths you walk, choices you make, turns you take - that sometimes seem like the good thing, the right thing at the time, but in retrospect were absolutely the wrong thing. And the funny thing about following the wrong paths and making the wrong choices and taking the wrong turns is when you are in the act of doing them, you mostly know somewhere in the deep recess of your mind that it's not right. A small alarm goes off, or a whispered voice in your head tries to warn you, but you dismiss that and think to yourself, no path is every going to be perfect, so let's just take the one we are on and ignore the brambles and sharp stones and hope for the best.
As you walk further down the path, you see that it's not really anything like you first though. It's darker, rockier, strewn with debris and there are so many things impeding the path that the effort you have to put forth to get even ten feet down the way is monumental and you think often about just giving up. But you don't. Because you don't want anyone to see you giving up. You don't want to appear weak, or worse, wrong. You don't want to admit that you took a wrong turn, because you spent so much time convincing everyone you were absolutely headed the right way, that you needed no help with directions, let alone a borrowed map from anyone who has been down the same path. No, you were going to do this on your own and show everyone that your path was the good one, the right one.
So when the skies darken and the storms start, you point to the lightning and say, see look at all the light on this path. And when the rocks become sharp beneath your feet and cut into you, you pick up the one smooth stone and say see, this path isn't so bad after all, even though you are trailing blood beneath your feet. And when the weeds begin to wrap around your legs and the tree branches scratch your face and the darkness seems to be suffocating you plow on and only talk about the one flower that shoots up between the miles of weeds, the one branch that you are able to move out of the way. Are you lying or denying? You don't know and don't care. All that matters is staying on the path so you never, ever have to admit that you made the wrong turn.
Eventually even the most stubborn, defiant, in denial person will realize that the path is a dead end. Some people will still walk on, go straight up to that dead end and, like a toy car that meets up against a wall, keep revving the engine and spinning the tires and pushing, pushing, pushing as if the wall will give way to something, anything besides the end of hope. Some people will recognize the wall just before they hit it and bail out before the impact.
Some see the dead end up ahead and stop short in thier tracks. You recognize the place you are in. How? Because you had been staring straight ahead at it all along. Maybe your eyes wouldn't focus on it or yourconcious mind wouldn't accept that what you were seeing was a huge, unimpedable wall, but it had been there all along and just then that small place in the back of your head where the alarms had been ringing, but muffled, where the sound system was pushing out warning signals, where the doubts and uncertainity had laid low, that place opened up and an explosion of light and awareness goes off like fireworks. The sound is deafening. And disheartening.
Here's the thing about paths. I believe that every path we walk down in life, we walk down for a reason. Every rock we step on, every branch that hits us, every lightning strike and downpour, every fallen tree or weed-choked clearing is put in front of us with a purpose. The path you are on now is not necessarily going to be the only one you take. In fact, it's more likely than not that you will change paths at least once. We all make wrong turns, wrong choices, go the wrong way. It's how we learn and how we grow and we how we come to recognize the right path when we finally come upon it.
When you do come upon it, it's like seeing for the very first time. It's an awareness that makes every single step you took before this echo in your head in the middle of the night and make you wonder how you ever thought those steps were the right ones. It's a flash of lightning that bathes everything you just left behind in a glaring light and you can see, finally fully see, everything for what it was. Or wasn't. It's an awakening that leaves you feeling at times stupid, at times full of self loathing, but thankful for the fact that you at least woke up. You think, how could I have done that to myself? How could I allow myself to think that was the right path, the right way? How could have been so naive, so stupid, so willfully in denial that I was taking every wrong turn one could possibly take? How could I have cared so much about not admitting defeat, not admitting I made the wrong choice that I subjected myself to all of that?
Someone said to me recently, "you get what you tolerate."
You get what you tolerate. Think about that.
So you stand now before the right path, the good path. You know it when you come upon it because you have learned. You know how to listen for the muffled alarms. You know how to stand stock still and listen for any signs of ill winds, how to search the sky for dark clouds, how to look for clawed branches and sharp rocks. You have learned. That path you just came from served at least that purpose.
Sometimes, if you are lucky, there's another person standing before the new path who is willing to walk it with you. A person who knows that sometimes you are going to come upon the sharp rocks and whipping branches, but who is willing to help you move those things out of the way rather than let you fight them alone. A person who, like you, knows that whatever path you just came from was like walking through a nightmare, but the nightmare was a necessary road to take to get to this one. And, like you, they would relive all their pain and darkness and broken dreams again just to get to walk down this new path with you holding their hand.
Life happens. You may have to wait a long time for that to feel like a good thing, but when it does, it's like waking up in a world you had no idea existed.
So, that's how I'm doing. Thanks for asking.

Book Notes - Jordaan Mason "The Skin Team"
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book.
Previous contributors include Bret Easton Ellis, Kate Christensen, Kevin Brockmeier, George Pelecanos, Dana Spiotta, Amy Bloom, Aimee Bender, Myla Goldberg, Heidi Julavits, Hari Kunzru, and many others.
Jordaan Mason's The Skin Team is an incendiary novel, impressive in both style and its poetic language.
Dennis Cooper wrote of the book:
"Reading The Skin Team, you would never suspect how difficult it is to write even fairly about such things, much less with Jordaan Mason's radiant emotional grace and super-deft detailing and flawless style. This novel is something very rare, and it's about as beautiful as fiction can ever be."

In his own words, here is Jordaan Mason's Book Notes music playlist for his novel, The Skin Team:
ifShe passed the cigarette back to me and said: Well, what are your desert island records. Like that was such a casual question, like she really wanted to know.
I said: Sarah, I don't listen to music, just energy, and you know that.
The Skin Team is a book about the noise of the earth, the hum of wires and the buzz of insects, highways full of cars, forests full of children lost in the dark—the absence of music, but the memory of it. The book is a destruction of identity as something solid, and that includes the material things that make up identity. That being said, the book is about teenagers, so music infects the edges of the narrative. No amount of untangling the self from the songs is entirely possible; no matter how much I tried to strip away from the characters, they clung and clung. I didn't listen to music too often while writing, but when I did it tended to be on the softer side, things that were stark and dreamy. These are all songs that were important to me when I was a teenager, and therefore they ended up in finding their way into or onto the page somehow, one way or another.
Simon and Garfunkel - 'I Am a Rock'
A song from my own childhood. My parents had Simon and Garfunkel on the stereo a lot. In the seventh grade, we studied the poetry of Paul Simon in English class, and my teacher Mr. Fyke (RIP) brought in this LP for us to all sit and listen to as we read along. What had been very familiar suddenly transformed; in many ways, I came to see this song as a marker in a turning point towards puberty. When I started to picture what songs Sarah would listen to, this immediately came to mind. She walks around singing it, writing pieces of it in her diary: I touch no one and no one touches me.
Red House Painters - 'New Jersey'
One of the boys passes out in a field singing this song to the other. This is the kind of song that makes me want to pass out in a field.
Low - 'Violence'
Language as something to be destroyed, to be torn apart. Violence as a productive act. The dictionary as just a collection of words, as a novel without narrative.
Smog – 'The Orange Glow of a Strangers' Living Room'
He would say things like: I'm scared shitless. This is a line that repeats a few times in the book, and it comes from this song. Bill Callahan is the authority on teenagers and horses, so naturally his records looped on my stereo during this time.
Bobby Vinton - 'Mister Lonely'
There is a horse in this book named after this song. Horses don't have funerals, but if they did, I imagine this would make a nice send-off.
Jackson C. Frank – 'Milk and Honey'
A song about singing when singing is a difficult thing to do, but a good reminder of why we sometimes need to find a way to do it.
The Smiths – 'This Night Has Opened My Eyes'
Why this night and not any other night? He said he'd cure your ills, but he didn't and he never will.
Real Live Tigers – 'So Quietly'
In retrospect, I can't help but notice that I wrote a book about the destruction of songs during a time in my life when I was surrounded by music. I was touring and singing songs for people for about four years straight, and it was during this time that I wrote The Skin Team. My friend Tony, who I had toured with many times, wrote this song about living a simpler life "with no songs." Singing songs made me realize the baggage that comes with them; I occasionally related to the sentiment of wanting to shed them. I think writing this book turned into a form of catharsis for that—a way of finding the silence again, a way of finding the words within it.
Sufjan Stevens – 'Redford (For Yia-Yia And Pappou)'
I visited my hometown (which basically serves as the geography of the book's narrative) in the summer and went for a bike ride one night through the woods. I had some old mixed CD from high school that I was listening to, and this was the last song. It came on just as I moved onto one of the paths deep in the brush beyond the streetlamps, and I was racing through, and there were fireflies everywhere, swarming. I had seen fireflies many times growing up, running around in the fields catching them, but I had never seen as many as this. They were the only light and they were all around me. I have tried very hard to capture this experience through language but I can't fully describe it. This song always brings me back to that feeling again, though, and reminds me how quickly music becomes memory. A lot of the language in the book attempts to grapple with that transformation, and what it means to go backwards from that.
Leonard Cohen – 'One of Us Cannot Be Wrong'
Sarah sings part of this song near the end of the book: the room just filled up with mosquitoes; they heard that my body was free. Cohen is a big influence, and this song has always been a favourite.
Yo La Tengo – 'Night Falls on Hoboken'
This song reminds me of warm summer nights, of sneaking out of the house, of wandering around, of remembering more than doing, of wanting more than having, of restlessness. I had this one on a loop a few times as well. In a perfect world, this would be the song I would always find through static on the radio in the middle of the night on the hottest day of the year.
Slowdive – 'All of Us'
The collapse of identity, the loss of distinction in words, in bodies. I went back and forth between writing The Skin Team as a novel and as a film script, and although the book ended up taking a shape that wouldn't fully transfer into a movie, this was the song I always imagined would play during the end credits.

TripleBogey Brewing Co.
Branding and package design by Paul Rezar and Geoff Tait. When trying to design the look and feel for golf's premium lager, we spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to best represent both a great tasting product and appeal to the average golfer (those who are all too familiar with triple bogeys on the course already). We first came up with more than 50 different ideas for the brand and ultimately circled back to one of our first ideas. It's simple and clean and people instantly get the +3 (three over par) and "tB" for Triple Bogey.
We then had to figure out how to use our logo on a beer label. Using just the +3 logo on the can looked too much like an energy drink and that wasn't what we were looking for. We went through several versions using different golf imagery such as golf carts but the problem was we didn't want people to be to think about drinking and driving, even if it's on the golf course (always drink responsibly)! We love the idea of our beer being the preferred brand of the 19th hole. Something the average player can enjoy on the course but also after they've shot a round and are just relaxing, recounting stories on the patio.
Having a green can was the perfect way to stand out on the shelf. We added pin-striping along the bottom edge as stylized grass, another nod to the world of golf. We are carrying these ideas through all of our marketing collateral, from glasses with a golf ball in the bottom to custom beer taps.
A Triple Bogey has never been so easy to swallow! Better hit another!

11:52 pm. The witching hour. It's cold, wet, and windy tonight in Plano. That's an uncommon combination for this state. Most of this week has been dry and warm and then today, of all days, it started to rain. And kept on raining for eleven straight hours. Now it's damp and foggy, which lends a sort of ominous caste to the whole world.
Perhaps the weather is why there are so few people here tonight. Or perhaps people in suburban Texas prefer Macs over PCs. Whatever the reason, I can tell the employees here are disappointed by the low turn-out. There are less than two-dozen of us waiting outside of this Fry's in eager anticipation of the Windows 7 midnight release.
When I first heard that Fry's was doing a midnight release for Windows 7, I was a little surprised. Normally stores do midnight releases for exceptionally popular video games or gaming consoles. The last time I stood outside a computer store in a line like this was for the first World of Warcraft expansion. Then, there were over a hundred of us.
The clock strikes 12. Midnight is here, along with one last car-load of Windows 7 fans. There are now two dozen of us waiting outside in the cold for a software roll-out. The manager thanks us all for our patience and lets us in.
We all head straight for the computers. No one is here to buy video games, DVDs, hardware or televisions. We all want Windows 7, although I briefly toy with the idea of buying a Mac, just for irony's sake. I start browsing and come upon a middle-aged woman trying to decide between two notebooks, an Acer and an HP, both loaded with Windows 7.
"Ma'am, can I ask you what you're looking for in a PC?"
"Well, I just want something I can take with me to class. I need it mainly for notes and homework."
I nod. "And what's got you excited about Windows 7?"
She shrugs. "I dunno. It's supposed to be faster, isn't it?"
I thank her for her time and move on. The selection here is good, but not fantastic. They don't have much in the way of CULVs, and they only have a couple all-in-ones, none of which are labelled yet. They do have a Toshiba M505 Touch. It is exactly as gorgeous in person as I thought it would be. I spend several happy minutes playing with the touchscreen. Normally I don't like to be effusive with my praise, but this thing is fantastic.
As a touch UI, Windows 7 works very well. Whenever I poke the screen, my touch is met with a little rippling effect, similar to dropping a pebble into a pond. At first this is a little irksome, but I quickly come to like the feature. It helps me to measure exactly where I'm clicking and prompts me to use less force in doing so.
"That Toshiba is really hot." a nerdy looking fellow with a bushy beard and a bald head pipes up from behind me. "If I had a thousand dollars to spend today..."
"What are you looking for?" I ask, because I am a reporter, dammit, and it's time for some more journalism.
"I just want a cheap notebook with good battery life. Something I can take on the road."
"So what has you out at a midnight Windows 7 release?"
He flashes me a conspiratorial grin. "Tonight is the end of Vista! That's worth celebrating."
I laugh. "But what is it about Windows 7 that you like?"
"Well, I've been running NT for the last eight years. I want something better, and Windows 7 looks good. It's not overbuilt, like Vista."
I excuse myself politely. Onto the next table, where I find a pair of men (I hear snippets of conversation, and gather from my college Arabic classes that they are Iranian. Or Iraqi. Or Saudi Arabian. I never was very good at Arabic.)
"Excuse me! Can I ask what you're looking for in a computer?"
"I just want a desktop that can multitask well. I do a lot of graphic design." he gestures at an HP Pavilion Elite with a Core i7 processor. "I like this one."
"So what is it about Windows 7 that you find exciting?"
"I hear it is faster, and that it uses up less system memory."
We talk a little while longer, and then I make for the door. The customers were more or less what I expected. Most of them (I talked to more than four people) said the same things. They heard 7 was better at multi-tasking, or that it used up less memory. None of them were excited about 7's touch and multitouch capabilities. Considering the cost of the machines that take advantage of it, I can understand why.
While I've had an entertaining night, I still haven't found the notebook for me. Later today I will venture into Best Buy for a look at their Windows 7 launch day festivities. Perhaps the machine of my dreams lies there, waiting...

The neverending battle between you and cockroaches in your apartment continues. No matter what you do, they always come back. They feed on anything and they never seem to die. When you do kill one, another hundred have hatched. Let's see what we could do to get rid of roaches the best we can.
Things You Will Need- Cleaning Supplies
- Broom, Mop, Vacuum
- Combat Roach Traps
- Boric Acid
- Roach Spray
Step 1Clean EVERYTHING. Literally. Pick up all food out in the open. Wash the dishes and make sure there is no food chunks in the drain. Sweep up dirt and crumbs from the floor, and mop or Swiffer them after. Vacuum carpets and furniture for loose dust and hair. Wipe down all counters and appliances. You might as well do the laundry too while your at it. Be thorough.
Step 2
Hire an exterminator. This is optional. If you have a really bad roach problem, or if you don't mind the cost, it's an option to consider.

Wait, now that I think about it even more I realize I can ask myself a question and experience my wisdom anytime I want. Whether it's 2 in the morning or during my morning shower or even in the middle of sexual intercourse.
I am the luckiest man on earth, and it would be mean of me not to share me.
Here you go:
Chapter 7: Atralin
The Med
Atralin is a brand name for the topical acne medicine tretinoin, and tretinoin was my teenage savior. Regular use, a little peeling to let me know I was using too much, a sunburn or two to teach me those warning stickers put on by the pharmacy weren't just for show, and the volcanic mountain range that had erupted on my face eventually went into submission. The fact tretinoin can make acne worse before it makes it better was a little disconcerting, but after a few weeks, this pimply faced future professional was convinced tretinoin was a gift from heaven. I was now free to become socially awkward based only on the merits of my actions and not on the condition of my skin. It felt better somehow to know my awkwardness was now earned.
To make it even better, as I approach middle age, tretinoin has now also come into wide use in the treatment of facial wrinkles, making it easy to think of it as some sort of lifetime sex appeal in a tube. There are some people who would pay a lot for lifetime sex appeal, no questions asked I bet. Valeant Dermatology, the same company that brought us the rip-off acne med Acanya I talked about earlier, seems to have made that bet as well.
The Scam
Some of you more astute readers may have read the above description of tretinoin and wondered if I wasn't talking about Retin-A. I was. Retin-A was the original topical tretinoin, and is now saving the complexions of the children of its first generation of users. Drugs this old have generally lost their patent protection and are available as money-saving generics, and Retin-A is no exception. Funny thing about this med though, even though it's sold in different strengths, including 0.05%, and even though it's available in both a cream and a gel formulation, one way you can't get it is as a 0.05% gel. This is where Valeant saw its opportunity. It introduced Atralin, a 0.05% gel form of tretinoin and marketed it as a new product not substitutable for a generic. The price? $250 for a 45 gram tube. Over four times the price I found for the same size 0.05% cream with a little shopping around.
Neither the cream nor the gel has been shown to be more effective by the way. Keep that in mind when you're making your purchasing decisions.
Once again however, a little looking around will lead you to a "savings offer," where insured patients, most insured patients that is, will pay $25. If you're one of the lucky ones who qualifies for that $25 copay though, just remember your pharmacy has submitted a claim to your insurer for $250. Uninsured patients will pay $75 with the savings card. Which means Atralin is a product whose primary purpose it would seem, is to drain money away from your insurance company and those people not savvy enough to look for coupons, and into the coffers of Valeant Dermatology.
What To Do
Unless you're just a really big fan of topical gels, there's little if any reason to buy Atralin. Just stick with the generic Retin-A.
Actually, let me take that back. The box design on the generic tretinoins can be a bit boring. They have plain old boxy letters and tired plain color schemes. So if it's important to you to have stylish graphic artwork in your medicine cabinet, then by all means, go for the Atralin.
The rest of us though, can take the money we save on our lifetime sex appeal in a tube and spend it wining and dining our soon to be many suitors.
Or come stalk me at the store.
Lucky you.

It was warm here on Saturday but by Saturday night through today it has been below freezing!
Hi Pam- we did have the warm up here but were back to the temps that are more normal. Your mantel looks great! I'm still working on my ideas for mine. I need to focus! I think at this time of year were all anxious to try something new! The jar with notes is a good idea! Sometimes we need to be reminded that a lot of good does happen but we tend to dwell on the negatives.ReplyDelete
This is gorgeous the champagne bucket is a favorite and that bird is adorable!ReplyDelete
Looks great! I have to get some photos up of my winter mantel. I love the jar idea, I've seen that somewhere else too. I have to remember to do that..and to polish my champagne bucket! Yours is so shiny!! :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful winter mantel! I love the idea of the empty jar to be filled with notes!ReplyDelete
Your winter mantel is just lovely, Pam!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful Winter mantel...luv that jar idea.ReplyDelete
Your mantle is lovely and I am so eyeing your silver champagne bucket! I love that! The jar of memories is so neat! I would love to try it, but know that I would totally forget to write anything down. I am so bad! My plans this year are just to organize and decorate on a budget!ReplyDelete
Love your 'Winter Mantel'. It is so peaceful and serene. I am your newest follower and look forward to reading your future posts.ReplyDelete
Have a Nice Day,
