"Jinxy Jenkins, Lucky Lou" is an animated short by Michael Bidinger and Michelle Kwon. The delightful little film, produced it at Ringling College of Art and Design, captures a life-changing day for two people in San Francisco: a very unlucky fellow — Jinxy Jenkins — and his much more fortunate counterpart, Lucky Lou.
Without a single word of dialogue, the film captures an essential truth about relationships: The very best people in our lives complement our strengths and compensate for our weaknesses.
It's an irresistible look at the way dynamics change in our lives when we find the right person.

Southwell Road is one half of a Victorian Stuccoed villa, elegant in appearance from the street, but suffering a familiar defect of the Victorian house with a ragged rear elevation and almost no physical or visual connection to the large rear garden.
By means of substantial structural alterations to the existing small rear offshoot, and the erection of a new rear addition extending into a side alleyway, a huge 35sqm combined living, dining and kitchen space was created.
This new plan re-oriented the whole house towards the quiet, private garden at the rear.
Large sliding hardwood windows and doors open to the rear, making the garden an integrated element of the home, highly visible all year round, illuminated at night and an extension of the living space in the warmer months.
The new rear room and other additions add nearly 30% to the floor area of the house - usually considered 'disproportionate' by planning authorities. The proposed form and treatment of the new extension was thus of prime importance in securing planning permission.
Joinery and kitchen surfaces combine to create an abstract geometry, top lit from roof windows.
Interior spaces are defined by plywood panelling concealing appliances, storage space and pelmet lighting.

First Reformed Church is a New Testament church of true Christian believers awaiting their entire salvation in Jesus Christ. We believe in the Lordship of Jesus Christ over every part of creation. We believe the Holy Scriptures are the living Word of God that points to Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit unites us to Christ and makes the Word of God real in our lives.
First Reformed Church exists in order to set people free to:
Listen to the Spirit.
We expect the Holy Spirit to lead us in concrete ways that will transform both us and the world. (Acts 10; John 14:15-31)
How do we listen to the Spirit?
- Learning and practicing lives of prayer. (1 Thess. 5:16-18)
- Reading and studying the Holy Bible personally and together. (Heb. 4:12; 2 Tim. 3:16)
- Discerning and sharing in God's reconciling activity in the world. (2 Cor. 5:18; Col. 1:20; Rom 12:2)
Follow the Son.
Growing in the knowledge that Jesus is who He says that He is, that we are who He says that we are, that we can become who He says we can become, and living a life that reflects those beliefs. (Eph. 3:14-19; John 10:27-30)
How do we follow the Son?
- Growing in the fruit of the Spirit by walking in step with the Spirit. (Gal. 5:22-25)
- Defending and providing for those who can't defend or provide for themselves. (Micah 5:8; Luke 4:18-21)
- Offering mercy, grace and forgiveness to all people just as God offers it to us. (Luke 6:37; Eph. 4:32)
- Being and making disciples who serve God with our whole hearts, souls, minds and strength. (Deut. 6:4-9; Matt. 22:36-40; 28:18-20)
- Living in unity as the Body of Christ. (Eph. 2:11-22; 4:1-3)
Exalt the Father.
We serve an almighty, holy and loving God and, as thankful children, we strive to glorify him in everything we do. (Romans 11:36; 12:11; Eph. 3:20-21; 1 Cor. 6:20; 10:31; Revelation 4:11)
How do we exalt the Father?
- Celebrating God's holiness and nearness through corporate and private worship. (Luke 19:37-40)
- Offering sacrificially of our time and treasure. (Matt. 22:36-40; Deut. 6:4-9; 1 Pet. 2:5-9)
- Living lives of humility, thankfulness, reverence, joy and service. (Micah 6:8; 1 Thess. 5:16-18)
- Regarding all of life as an act of worship. (Romans 12:1)
Our Vision over the next 3-5 years is to envelop every new person who moves into sioux center and every person who is far from jesus into the life and ministry of First Reformed Church. Furthermore, we are going to expand the reach of the kingdom, locally, regionally, and globally and become a multi-site ministry.
We believe in the transforming power and love of Jesus Christ. We believe that we exist for the sake of the kingdom...beyond ourselves. And we will do whatever it takes to make Christ known.
Missional engagement—to be a Christian is to engage in God's missional work in the world, that all people may know him and love him. God's church does not have a mission; God's mission has a church!
Discipleship—discipleship is the pathway to Jesus Christ, whereby we are taught by him, our lives oriented to him, and our gifts unleashed for him and for the sake of the world.
Worship—God calls all people to our first and truest vocation: to be worshipers and to commit our lives to him in obedience, gratitude, and praise.
As we seek to live into our mission and vision, we will continually ask:
- Does this coincide with Biblical Christianity?
- Will this support intergenerational engagement?
- Are we empowering others to use their God-given gifts?
- Have we and how will we continue to surround this in prayer?
In regard to Baptism...
In Regard to Sexuality...
In Regard to AFFIRMATION OF FAITh...
- The Bible is the word of God;
- There is one true and living God who exits in three person: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
- God created all things for His glory;
- Men and women were created in the image of God;
- God alone is the architect and finisher of our salvation;
- The Holy Spirit gives gifts to His children;
- The church consists of all who trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation;
- Heaven and hell are real places;
- Jesus Christ will one day return to establish His Kingdom forever.
- For a fuller elaboration on our shared faith, please refer to the following historic creeds and confessions:
Our History
The First Reformed Church is the oldest institution of Sioux Center, organized in 1877.
A story about the church (written by the Sioux Center News for the city's Golden Jubilee in 1941) noted it was the largest church in Sioux County. The Jubliee news story noted that from 26 original members the membership of the church had grown to 705 communicants, with a total of 1,335 souls; 630 enrolled in Sunday School; an average attendance of 550 each Sunday; and 440 children and young people receiving doctrinal training nine months of the year.
The founders first met in a pioneer schoolhouse situated two miles east of the present church. The Rev. S. Bolks and Elder J. Muilenberg of Orange City conducted the organization meeting.
The first church was named the First Reformed Church of West Branch, so named because its location was on the West Branch, a tributary of the Floyd River.
The members of the first congregation were: Jacob and Pecltje (Bronkhorst) Koster; Sander and Fennitje (Ten Houten) Schut; A. and Elbertje (Van der Pal) Franken, J. Franken; G. and Gijsbertje (De Mots) Rensink; J.W. and Hendrike (Klevvers)Te Grotenhuis, D. W. and Gerritje (Te Grotenhuis) Doornink, H. Mouw, J. Cleveringa, F. Cleveringa, A.L. Rensink, F. and Frederika (Rower) Kuhl, J. and Marie (Tiester) Grevenhoff.
The 1941 Golden Jubilee newspaper noted that families united with the church were officially visited each year by the minister and elders, a custom carried out by the congregation's three ministers: Rev. James De Pree (1880-1910); Dr. F. Lubbers (1910-1930); and Rev. L. A. Brunsting (1930-article's printing in 1941). At that time 17 sons of the congregation had been dedicated to the ministry and Christian missions.
During the early years the organization reflected the hardships and blessings of its members. The first matter was building a place of worship. The first edifice was 14 by 20 feet and 10 feet high. A committee of Jacob Koster and J.W. Te Grotenhuis was chosen to buy grounds and material.
In September of the same year the building was completed and a resolution was made to accept an offering for the church and its enlargement. Three years later the congregation needed more room and busily engaged themselves in securing funds to add a new wing (the first building is pictured on the webpage logo at the upper far left, painted by John Vander Stelt). In the early 1890s, a second church building was erected (white church in webpage logo). In June, 1902, this building was totally destroyed by a disastrous tornado that swept the community. Incidentally, the pulpit Bible that had been donated to the congregation and used for more than a quarter of a century was picked up the morning after the storm without any damage and was the only property saved.
Members of the congregation immediately set about to build a new house of worship, and gratefully accepted the hospitality of the Christian Reformed Church, which offered them the use of their church building to hold services until the new church was completed.

Presenting ... Sokhna N'Dour
Sokhna N'Dour
Age: 16
Hometown: Dakar, Senegal
Bloodline: Father is Senegalese pop singer Youssou N'Dour (who was described by Rolling Stone in 2004 as "perhaps the most famous singer alive" in Africa).
Education: Dakar French High School, where she's studying economics.
Wearing: Franck Sorbier
Escort: Papou Ndiaye, friend of her older brother, Biran.
Role model: N'Dour flew to Sorbier's Paris showroom with her father and brother in tow to select her dress. While there, she realized that her aunt had been a model for the designer years earlier.
As reported by WWD.com: Call it the Super Bowl of debutante balls. The Bal Crillon des Debutantes — held annually at Paris' stately Hôtel de Crillon — brings together the daughters of heavy hitters from the worlds of politics, entertainment, art and fashion.
If you're a fan of MTV's The Hills, this is the same ball that Whitney and Lauren assisted in Paris. With careful research, I've found that every other year (or two) there's a brown baby selected and this particular year it's Sokhna N'Dour, daughter of famous pop singer Youssou N'Dour (click link to listen to his music).
Each year a number of lucky heiress' are handpicked to be presented unto the world as women ... very well-off young women, lol. Decked out in couture by Valentino, J. Mendel, Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Franck Sorbier, to name a few. Did I forget to mention, the 'Royal Family' perks they recieve?

Just In: Matthew Williamson Designs for H&M
H&M is proud to announce that the next guest designer will be Matthew Williamson, the British designer whose colour-drenched collections always carry the promise of the sun. Starting with an exclusive women's fashion range at selected stores April 23, then continuing with the perfect men's and women's pieces for Summer available from mid-May in all H&M stores world wide. In an exclusive for H&M, Williamson will debut his first ever menswear pieces.
"It is an incredible opportunity to be working with H&M, creating a 'Matthew Williamson for H&M' capsule collection. I love the fact that H&M have created a new phenomenon in fashion through the pioneering concept of collaborating with high-end designers to create one-off limited edition capsule collections. I am thrilled that my creations for H&M will be accessible to and hopefully enjoyed by so many people around the world," says Matthew Williamson.
"Matthew has such a good eye and a way for working with prints that he mixes up in a new way. When he combines these things, you get a very contemporary London look. It's for people who want to look special, but his clothes can also be worn in a nonchalant way- you can really play around with them. He is fantastic with piling on colour - it's a very stylish collaboration for H&M, and very much in line with the way we're thinking about fashion for spring/summer," says Margareta van den Bosch, Creative advisor at H&M.
Matthew Williamson burst onto the London fashion scene in 1997, with a colour-drenched collection modelled by Kate Moss, Helena Christensen and Jade Jagger. Since then, Williamson has brought the party lifestyle of the global traveller to the catwalk, an Ibizan spirit of colour and freedom that he now shows at New York Fashion Week. His clothes are worn regularly by celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow, and last year he was honoured with an exhibition at the Design Museum in London - "Matthew Williamson - 10 Years in Fashion".
H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M) was established in Sweden in 1947. The company's business concept is to offer fashion and quality at the best price. H&M is quoted on the OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm. Today there are around 1,700 H&M stores on 33 markets. H&M has 68,000 employees and achieved sales including VAT in 2007 of SEK 92,123 million. H&M has a wide product range that is divided into a number of different concepts for women, men, teenagers, children and cosmetics. The company's clothing collections are created by its own designers, pattern makers and buyers. For further information visit www.hm.com.

How much will a research project cost?
We understand the value of a dollar, and so do our clients. That's why we tell you up front what the costs of meeting your organizational needs will be and what return you'll get on that investment.
Three basic elements affect the cost of research: What is the number of questions or problems to which you need answers? How is the information you need best retrieved? How can the information be best communicated to you and other members of your organization?
Once we know what you need, we'll provide you with a research plan that will outline step-by- step the process, rationale, methodology, timelines and budget.
We will not sell you what you do not need—guaranteed. If you ask us to do a primary research market assessment in an area where sufficient reliable and accurate data already exist, we'll point you in the right direction, no charge. On the other hand, if you present us with a budget or timeline that's incompatible with your needs, we'll tell you that too.
How much time will a project take?
It can take days or months, or even years. It depends what you need. Does your project require both primary and secondary research? Is the sample large or small? Will you need ongoing tracking? How detailed is the sample, the questionnaire and the desired report?
Whatever the answers are, we will complete your project with speed and accuracy, burning the midnight oil when your deadlines demand it.
How much trouble will a research project be?
We're a one-stop research provider—we are capable of handling all stages of a research project, whatever the size.
We will need to know what you want in terms of results, but after that, putting a complete program together is all in a day's work for us. We will keep you posted and ensure you are comfortable with our process.
How do we know the data will be accurate?
We don't produce any other kind of data. We have stringent quality controls in place and a team of top statistical and data gurus. The integrity of the data we provide is at the core of our reputation. We belong to the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, adhere to MRIA Rules of Conduct and Good Practice, and are registered to the global ISO 9001:2008 quality assurance standard (a Manitoba market research first). Understanding research methods, using the correct sampling and data collection methodologies and running data analysis that is in-depth and accurate over the past fifteen years has kept us at the top of our game.
Can you help us with other marketing items such as package design or our website?
No. Many people confuse market research with marketing and advertising. What we offer is market research, which provides verifiable data about your product, customer base and market (current or potential). Marketing and advertising, undertake tasks such as branding, messaging, package design and website development.
Some marketing firms may sell themselves as market researchers, using pseudo-surveys or focus groups, but legitimate research involves more than that. It pays to check credentials. Buying market research from advertisers, marketing organizations or accounting firms is like buying food from a dollar store—dubious quality and origin unknown.

here we come
Brian Wolff and Brett Winning (of Fair City Fire) have spent their past few years thrilling audiences across the country with their one of a kind brand of acoustic, soulful and emotional rock and roll. Now they are headed west to bring the sunshine states a little taste. Brian and Brett will hit the road and make the long journey March 20th-April 7th up the coast of California, into Oregon, down through Colorado, and back to Austin, Texas.
Their performances are designed to take audiences from all walks of life on a musical ride filled with emotions that run the gamut. If they've influenced an audience enough to laugh, cry, think and feel closer to themselves and others around them, then and only then, will they consider that performance a success. Their music selection roots itself in original music mostly composed by their Austin, Texas rock and roll band, Fair City Fire, but will always include new material not yet heard by most Fair City Fire fans.
Brian and Brett have a mission to bring this breath of life and sound into wonderful homes across the country for hosts and their friends and loved ones. It's actually much easier to set up than you could ever imagine. Let's break down the gap between the audience and musician, and experience this beautiful life together.

Magnetic Resistance
How magnetic resistance works
Magnetic resistance is generated by spinning a metal disk through a magnetic field. This creates what are called "Eddy Currents", which cause drag on the metal disk. The Kinetic Magnetic resistance unit provides quiet, smooth, progressive resistance. The Mag's linear progressive resistance curve (black line) offers a higher mid-range resistance than our fluid trainer models, (0 mph – 32 mph) making it a great match for low-geared bikes like mountain and cross bikes.
Heat is the enemy
Magnetic trainer performance is affected by heat, which causes resistance to decrease. Most magnetic trainers generate resistance by spinning magnets next to a fixed steel disc with a separate fan for cooling. Our Magnetic trainer uses an aluminum disk spinning between two magnets with smaller fan blades integrated into the disk. This keeps ours cooler for more consistent performance, and quieter because it doesn't require the additional fan. In fact, the Kinetic Magnetic is the quietest trainer we have tested.
Heavyweight Flywheel
The flywheel on a trainer simulates the momentum of the bike and rider, increasing the effort needed to accelerate and maintaining speed when coasting. At 6.25 lbs. (2.8 kg), Kinetic Magnetic trainers have the heaviest flywheels found on magnetic trainers; providing a far more realistic ride.

The Bigger Picture
As Hurricane Irma ripped across Florida last month, Cassandra Beard, DO, MPH, and Evan Wolff, DO, MPH, were working as residents at Larkin Community Hospital in south Miami. The A.T. Still University - School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (ATSU-SOMA) alumni were determined to deliver patient-centered care in the midst of the devastating storm.
In preparation, hospital staff deployed hurricane shutters and sandbagged doors. As the storm hit land, patients with nowhere to go could not be released. Flooded streets and dangerous debris stranded workers at the hospital for days on end.
Drs. Beard and Wolff credit their medical education with helping them weather the storm. Dr. Wolff is grateful for his experience handwriting notes and orders, which became a necessary skill when the power went out. Dr. Beard recalls ATSU mentors who taught her to visualize situations from a patient's perspective. The tactic helped her maintain focus and overcome personal anxiety in a difficult situation.
As the nation recovers from an unusually severe hurricane season, the ATSU community extends its deepest thanks to the first responders and health care providers, like Drs. Beard and Wolff, who risked their own safety to save countless lives.
While the summer months are a time for many students to "get away," not all who journey from campus are on vacation. Numerous Campbell medical students traveled to countries in South America and Asia to participate in medical mission trips during May, June, and July.
Led by a group of four osteopathic medical students and two faculty members, the team brought medicine and medical equipment provided by MDF Instruments to several remote villages in Armenia.
"We were in Armenia for nine days, and during those days we saw over 300 patients," said Victoria Kaprielian, MD, associate dean for faculty development & medical education, who added that some patients in nearby villages walked for more than three hours to visit the clinic. Read more.
After five years as a hospitalist and medical director in a large health organization, Haseeb Ahmed, DO, MHA, found himself increasingly drained emotionally and angry at a health care system that "bankrupts people every single day." That's why he decided to co-found Health Suite 110, an Overland Park, KS-based direct primary care practice. He visited the Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine (DMU-COM) on October 13 to talk with students about his practice, in which patients pay a monthly fee based on their age for unlimited access, in person and electronically, to the physician. Dr. Ahmed does not accept insurance and provides lab and imaging services, medications, and equipment to his patients at cost. "The current system is volume-based versus value-based, where physicians need to see 30 to 40 patients a day just to cover costs," he told students. "There's no incentive to just talk to patients. In direct primary care, our mission is to serve the patient and serve the community at the lowest price possible, and avoid nickel-and-diming people." Read more.
Students across health profession programs gathered at Lincoln Memorial University-DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMU-DCOM) on September 29, 2017, for an all-day symposium titled, "Addressing the Opioid Epidemic: Control Drug Misuse." The symposium was designed to prepare LMU health professions students who will soon enter clinical training and future residencies where they will encounter patients exhibiting drug seeking behavior and patients addicted to these medications.
The event featured John Temple, author of American Pain. In his book, Temple tells the story of how the current opioid epidemic began with two felons who were twin brothers that made millions from a gigantic south Florida pain clinic that sold opioids to addicts. Read more.
National Primary Care Week (NPCW) is an annual event designed to highlight the importance of primary care, and to bring together health care professionals and students across the health care spectrum to discuss the important role primary care providers play in the health care system.
At the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), several student organizations collaborated on a number of events recognizing NPCW, which occurred October 1-7.
"Primary care is the foundation of value-based quality care in our country," said Michael Becker, DO, MS, professor and vice-chair, family medicine. "Having an excellent relationship with a primary care physician enhances the overall care that a patient receives regardless if it is delivered by a generalist, specialist, or hospital." Read more.
The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM) boasts three campuses across the state of Ohio: its original home on the Ohio University campus in rural Athens; one in the Columbus suburb of Dublin, opened in 2014 with OhioHealth as its preeminent educational partner; and one in Cleveland launched the following year in affiliation with Cleveland Clinic. Each campus offers its own unique attractions to the osteopathic medical students who study there, and these features are highlighted in a new set of short campus-specific video tours created for the college's Office of Admissions. The campus video tours can be viewed on the Heritage College's YouTube channel.

FOXBORO, Mass. — So much for trading the 33rd pick. The Patriots continued with their surprising ways during the draft, and they used the first pick of the second round on Virginia cornerback Ras-I Dowling.
Key Stats
The 6-foot-2, 198-pounder only played in five games as a senior in 2010 due to injuries. He had eight career interceptions, 29 pass breakups, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 160 total tackles. Dowling had a team-high 21 special teams tackles as a freshman, including 16 on kickoff coverage.
Scouting Report
Dowling is a very athletic, physical cornerback who struggled a lot with injuries as a senior, or he would have very likely been a first-round pick in this draft. Because he's bigger, he's probably a better fit on the outside, so that's something to keep an eye on (see below).
Roster Impact
The Patriots appear to be set at corner with Devin McCourty and Leigh Bodden, so Dowling will compete with Kyle Arrington, Darius Butler and Jonathan Wilhite for reps in sub packages. Dowling and Arrington might be the best backups as outside corners, and Butler and Wilhite have played at their best in the slot.
Top Story
Dowling's injuries dropped him down the board, especially when he had a tough time staying healthy during the pre-draft process. He gained some interest when he ran a 4.4-second 40 at the combine despite pulling his hamstring during the run. That's both impressive and worrisome all at the same time.
"My father gave me that name. There was a boxer that was named Livingstone Bramble and changed his name to Ras-I Bramble. My father liked that name and gave it to me."
—Dowling on the origin of his first name.

Hi everyone
Well here's the first full blog of 2016 as promised.
It was a busy Autumn Term for Food Tech. As usual, groups of year 9 and year 7 boys came for whole day sessions - they only get one session per year so I have to try hard to make the experience one of learning, fun, and achievement and there are always competitions during the day.
The boys are always so eager and they often come out with funny expressions which make me laugh. If the things they say or do are worth recording, I photograph their disasters or type up their comments and these go on my Wall of Fame/Shame for all to read and see.
Only this week we had 2 brilliant quotes from Year 7's:
'Miss - shall I empty the drain?' Translation - Shall I pull the plug out of the sink?
Another boy, pointing to the microwave in the corner...'Miss, what do you keep in the safe?'
The sixth form students are brilliant at doing weird things.
Last year I caught 2 of them with orange flavoured Nutella spread. They had stirred it into their chicken curry. When questioned by myself as to what is was for, they replied, 'Well Miss - you told us that the Mexicans often put dark chocolate into their Chilli con Carne so we thought we would experiment!'
Another sixth former who only claim to fame was his brilliance at playing the bass guitar , made a crumble mix that looked as if it had maggots in it. I questioned the ingredients he had added, determined to find the source of the maggots. He had mixed in a large quantity of Lazy Ginger - strips of ginger in vinegar that we use in Chinese stir-fries, thinking that this product was similar to the dried ginger powder often used in baking!!
I will fill you in on other funnies as they arise this year.
Just before Xmas, two 6.1 boys organized a chapati making competition for 6 pairs of sixth formers.
the contestants had to prepare and fry chappattis to be sampled by 3 judges.
These 3 teachers had kindly volunteered to taste and score all the chapatis and find the winners.
The judges were: Mr Ratner, who professed to knowing how the chapatis should taste, Mrs Mehta who certainly knows how to make chapatis, and Mr Ridler who doesn't know the first thing about making or rating chapatis but just loves (free) food and joined the judges to help them in their task.
Mr Collins did come in to see what was on offer for hungry teachers, but quickly departed. I wonder why?
Thanks also go to Cameron Hodgetts of Year 9, who was on crowd control. He did an excellent job in scrutinizing all those sixth formers who tried to get through the door and ousting every gatecrasher.
We hope to run another of these events this term as there were quite a few 6.1's who wanted to take part.
My only problem was the huge amount of flour everywhere after the competition. One boy had more on his blazer than was acceptable so we had to do a quick wash and tumble dry before Period 5 - the blazer, not the boy!
Last week Mr Ratner delivered a cross-curricular biology lesson for yr 7's with me. Boys were given doughnuts and many other smaller sweet items to create something resembling animal and plant cells with this food. The various components of these different cells were labelled and the finished product photographed before being devoured just prior to 4pm or packed away for later. Hyperactive sons probably presented themselves back home with parents also wondering why they didn't want any tea?!!!
I hope to use this blog to give you snippets about food - interesting facts or stories, new findings, new ideas, new products etc.
Here's a few for this blog....
Why do we love chocolate so much?
Texture - it melts at just below blood temperature, the same temperature as our mouths, which accounts for that oozing sensation after the first few seconds
Taste - chocolate contains at least 300 natural chemical compounds, resulting in a complex range of tastes, which connect with our brain as they run over the most sensitive taste zones of our tongue.
Mike Longman, a Chocolate Wizard from Cornwall had to build his own grinder from an industrial flatbead maker from India. He fitted a new motor so that it would grind cocoa beans for 4 days straight - the time required to reduce the cocoa nibs and raw demerara sugar to 25 microns - about an eighth of a human hair - the optimum particle size for the ultimate bar of chocolate!
Each blog will also have extracts from written work being done in my Literacy TOAST club where certain boys are striving to improve their writing and attempt various 'projects' set by me and Miss Slater.
The first work in the next blog, will be from Daniel Brittle who tells us about his 2015 Xmas experiences.
Your chance to enter a competition for writing and expression...
Write a piece for me entitled ...'my Last Supper'.
Imagine that a meteorite is due to hit the earth tomorrow, and tonight you can have the last meal of your choice. Tell me what starter, main course and dessert you would chose and why, where you would have this meal and why, and chose 2 additional guests (apart from family and friends) who you would like to invite, and why. These guests could be from the past or the present - eg. celebrities, sports personalities, famous people from history. Bring the neatly presented work into Food Tech for judging. The best ones will win prizes and be blog-published. I am a stickler for correct spelling so take care to get that right.
Briefly, I would chose...a seafood platter, steak and chips, and a huge jug of custard. I will explain choices next time. I would have the meal at sunset, on the rocks overlooking the Irish Sea at the special bungalow we stay at every year on Anglesey. My chosen guests would be Graham Norton and Anne Boleyn!! Again, reasons given next time.
Finally, the first boy to bring me the answers to these 6 quiz questions will gain a house point and a chocolate bar.
a type of sushi - a rice filled, seasoned tofu pouch (5)
vine leaf chewed in South Asia as a mild stimulant (5)
Raspberry ....... popular flavour of ice cream (6)
A generic Indian term for a mixture of ground spices (6)
City in Lorraine, France, famous for its macarons (5)
What is Mrs Phillips' favourite animal? (7)
Signing off for now .....Mrs P

If you want to make quick money by entering the share market, there are plenty of options in the world where you can pick and chose the kind of trading that you want to do. To assist you and provide you with a safe and comfortable platform where you can carry out your trading there are a number of auto trader websites that have mushroomed in the recent past.
One such popular and successful binary options auto trader is the Blazing Trader. Contrary to the rumours that are spread in several places in the trading world Blazing Trader is not a scam. .In fact, This auto trading robot is said to be highly advantageous over many other traders as they have a very high success rate and their winning percentage is said to be hovering around 93% most of the time.
Created originally by two brothers, Johan Strand a Maths professor and Lard Strand a financer, this software was meant to help give traders a commercial platform where they could carry out their trading and make huge profits with small investments. With the help of this software, clients can get to see stable results and also a logarithm which is based on sensitive and vital investment data.
Despite the fact that the concept of trading with the help of an auto robot is absolutely new and innovative, reviews have found that this system has been generating a lot of genuine and authentic results and all the investors who have chosen to take this risk have been able to generate extremely good profits. Seeing the excellent reviews and performance more and more people are getting curious and want to try using this system too.
After going through several reviews and existing client feedbacks it can be said that the software is absolutely legit and is providing excellent and genuine results and forthcoming clients need not worry about getting cheated or duped. Most of these defamation tactics do arise when the competition in the market becomes stiff and there are too many businesses trying to stay at the top in the auto trader's world.
Even if one is apprehensive of opening an account with Blazing Trader, you can first visit the site and check out all the processes that need to be completed for signing up and registering. Only if you feel your fundings are going to be safe with them you must go ahead and make your investment. Their processes are fairly simple and transparent and there is absolutely no cause for concern.

Thursday's Sports In Brief
HUMBLE, Texas (AP) Phil Mickelson was among the leaders after shooting a bogey-free 4-under par 68 in his opening round of the Houston Open, showing no effects of the muscle pull that forced him to withdraw from last week's Texas Open.
The five-time major winner, who practiced at Augusta National for two days this week in advance of the Masters, was three shots back of leaders Bill Haas and Charley Hoffman – who both shot 7-under 65.
Keegan Bradley and Matt Kuchar lead a group of five golfers at 6 under, while 10 golfers were at 5 under.
Former world No. 1 Rory McIlroy, playing in the afternoon on the 7,441-yard Golf Club of Houston, finished with a 2-under 70- five shots back of the lead. World No. 10 Dustin Johnson withdrew after an 8-over 80.
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) – Michelle Wie let a couple of shots slip away late in the first round of the Kraft Nabisco Championship, leaving her a shot behind Shanshan Feng.
Tied for the lead after playing a four-hole stretch in 5 under, Wie lipped out a 3-foot par putt on the par-3 17th, then settled for par and a 5-under 67 after her wedge approach released long on the par-5 18th.
Feng shot a 66 in perfect morning conditions at Mission Hills in the first major championship of the year. The 24-year-old Chinese player had seven birdies and a bogey.
Se Ri Pak birdied her final hole to match Wie at 67. The 36-year-old Pak won the last of her five major titles in 2006.
Angel Yin, a 15-year-old high school freshman from the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia, was another stroke back at 68 with Amy Yang.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall is growing accustomed to being center stage at the Final Four. He just wishes his team was with him this time around.
After leading the Shockers to the national semifinals a year ago, Marshall deftly guided them through a perfect regular season, earning a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. While they were done in by Kentucky in the third round, by then the votes had already been tabulated.
Marshall was the runaway winner of the AP coach of the year award. He accepted his hardware during a news conference at AT&T Stadium, where the Wildcats will play Wisconsin and UConn will meet Florida in the national semifinals Saturday night.
Creighton star Doug McDermott was a near-unanimous pick as the AP player of the year after a senior season that left him the fifth-leading scorer in Division I history.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Florida State University is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education for possible Title IX violations in its response to sexual violence complaints.
USA Today first reported the investigation by the Office for Civil Rights. It stems from a complaint filed with it by the accuser in quarterback Jameis Winston's sexual assault case.
No charges were filed by State Attorney Willie Meggs against the Heisman trophy winner.
Winston was accused of sexual assault from an incident in Dec. 2012. Police decided not to press charges in Dec. 2013. The OCR will investigate all sexual assault complaints at the university during the last three years.
NEW YORK (AP) – Sandy Grossman, who directed a record 10 Super Bowl broadcasts and spent more than two decades in the TV truck working with announcers Pat Summerall and John Madden, has died. He was 78.
Grossman died Wednesday at his home in Boca Raton, Fla., of cancer, his son Dean said.
"He could just make magic," Madden told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
When Madden, the former coach, watched film and practices to prepare for calling games, Grossman was right beside him. That homework paid off when the analyst would make a point on air and the director would immediately pull up the right clip to illustrate it.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Mary Wilson is taking over as the Buffalo Bills' controlling owner after the death last week of her husband, Ralph Wilson.
Ralph Wilson was the founder and only owner of the franchise. He died March 25 at the age of 95.
The team says "A process will be established at an appropriate time for the sale of the franchise."
The Bills also announced that CEO Russ Brandon, general manager Doug Whaley and coach Doug Marrone will remain in charge of football operations under the new ownership.
NEW YORK (AP) – Austin Hollins hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 46.1 seconds left and Minnesota won the NIT championship, beating SMU 65-63 to give the Pitino family its latest postseason tournament title.
Hollins scored 19 points and Andre Hollins had 14 for the Golden Gophers (25-13), who took home the trophy for the third time. They also won the National Invitation Tournament in 1993 and `98, though the second one was vacated because of an NCAA rules violation involving player eligibility.
With Gophers coach Richard Pitino's famous father, Rick, sitting near his son's bench at Madison Square Garden, Minnesota made up for a blowout loss to Stanford in the NIT final two years ago and finished with a flourish in its first season under the 31-year-old Pitino.

Every night, she took the same path home from work: a block to the subway, then out and past the all-night deli (sometimes she stopped in for a sandwich), then three more blocks to her home. She often worked late. A woman walking alone at night learns to pay attention. Not that it was a bad city, but you never know. Still, she was familiar with every brick and every alley, every shop, open or closed. And that was why it was so startling to her, this new door. She had passed this particular alley a hundred times. Certainly more. Never had she seen it, not in the watery light of a warm summer evening, nor when the radiance of the streetlamps glittered off winter's slush and snow.
It was below street level. Stairs led down to a sheltered entryway sealed with an old wooden door. It wasn't cheap wood, either, but something dark and glossy, carved in places with a pattern of scrollwork and what might have been vines.
No, she was certain she would have seen that before. You didn't see doors like that anymore. Everything was metal or something pretending to be wood, always bland and anonymous, as if encouraging the eye to glide past, the mind to ignore the invitation inherent in any door.
But this door - where did it lead? And what was it for? The building on that side of the alley was commercial -- a warehouse, maybe, or an old storefront. She had never seen it open, and the windows on the bottom two levels had been bricked in long ago. That's all it was -- an old, crumbling relic of bygone industry, as ubiquitous and unsightly as a dumpster.
And now this door. A faint light shone over the entryway, making it possible to see the stairs leading down, but failing to completely dispell the cloying shadows. The light didn't perfectly illumine the scroll-work either, and she had only an imperfect impression of it from where she stood. The door itself was perhaps ten feet down the narrow alley, past papers and cans and trash. Far enough that the headlamps of the cabs that jockeyed endlessly on the street beside her did not quite reach it, close enough to know that it had not been there yesterday, nor the day before.
Just as suddenly as noticing the door, she became aware of a restlessness in her life, scrabbling against the tedium of her endless routine. As surely as the door existed, there existed in her a yearning for something more.
She hesitated only briefly. Then she ducked down the alley and swiftly descended the stairs. Gripping the handle in one trembling hand, she opened the door.
-- M. Belanger

Constance Emily Barber was born in Norwich, Norfolk, England, in 1879, the daughter of Charles Russell and Emily Barber. Her father died in 1883, and her mother in 1884, leaving her orphaned. She was raised by her grandmother, Mrs. Affery Barber, who by 1915, resided at 'The Green Hills', Costessey, near Norwich, Norfolk.
She was a trained nurse and governess, and in 1913, had gone to live and work in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She had sailed from Southampton on the
Ultonia and arrived at Quebec, Canada, on the 8th May. After the outbreak of the Great War, she decided to go back home, however, perhaps because she thought she might be better needed in England and before returning, she travelled to the United States of America to visit some friends.
It was her original intention to travel back with two sisters from Costessey, the Misses Gunton, with whom she had sailed from Southampton two years previously, on the White Star liner S.S.
Tuscania, but at the last minute, she decided to prolong her stay in America and instead booked second cabin passage on the
Lusitania which was scheduled to leave New York for Liverpool on the morning of 1st May 1915.
The sailing of the Lusitania was delayed until the afternoon of that date and no doubt Miss Barber had her last glimpse of New York City just after mid-day, as the liner made her way out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Six days later she was dead - killed after the vessel was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine
U-20 when she was a mere twelve miles off the coast of southern Ireland and only 250 miles from her destination.
Constance Barber' body was never recovered and identified after the sinking and as a result, she has no known grave.
Had she carried out her original, intention of returning home with the Gunton sisters, she would probably have survived the war, for the
Tuscania, although a slower ship, docked safely in Liverpool on Monday 10th May 1915!

Legal practice with bespoke service approach
Kemp Strang | Sydney, Australia
Kemp Strang is an award winning commercial law firm providing specialist legal services to major corporations. In 2011 FutureSpace worked with Kemp Strang to relocate them to new premises in the Sydney CBD. The brief for the project was to provide accommodation that was confident yet understated, welcoming whilst still commercial and bespoke yet progressive. It was important to the client that visitors got a sense of the professionalism and experience of the legal team through the workplace's first impressions.
The organization is spread over four floors including a client floor, 2 practice floors and a shared services floor. The planning is that of a 'traditional' legal fit-out with offices around the perimeter and workstations clustered throughout the internal areas. However best practice workplace initiatives have been embraced by providing good access to views and natural light throughout with well positioned and well appointed team spaces, including breakout spaces, libraries and informal meeting and quiet areas.
The design concept is based around the idea of boutique hotel. The architectural details are bespoke and carefully considered; there is focus and attention to detail that is aligned with the quality of service that Kemp Strang's clients receive. This element of the workplace goes beyond a traditional legal fit-out, particularly the colour and materials palette selected. A major component behind the success of the Kemp Strang project was the collaborative and communicative nature of the project team including the client, property advisors, project manager, builder and the design team.

Ya'll, we love a good chocolate chip cookie. We make a batch at least 2-3 times a month and we LOVE to share the goodies. Luke and I love making them together, and while his favorite part is taste testing the batter before we put the egg in, my favorite part is when they come out of the oven.
To celebrate this epic holiday, I wanted to share with you my chocolate chip cookie recipe. The recipe is adapted from the original Nestle Toll House recipe, but I add in a few ingredients to make the cookies even better!
Hope you get to celebrate today, with your little ones in the kitchen.
The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies!
2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 ¼ cup butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 ½ cups chocolate chips
Preheat Oven to 350°
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually beat in flour mixture. Add chocolate chips and hand stir until well mixed. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto baking sheets, lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 8-9 minutes, let cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes and remove to wire rack to continue cooling!
Happy baking,

Memorials and Tribute Gifts
Honor Someone Special With a Future Gift in Their Name
If you have a loved one who has been impacted by Discovery Eye Foundation, establishing a memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor your loved one or celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday while supporting the work of our mission. Your memorial or tribute gift will be a lasting tribute to your loved one and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
An Example of How It Works
When Sarah's father passed away, she knew she wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for him. She remembered that during his lifetime he was always praising Discovery Eye Foundation for its tireless efforts to better his community.
Sarah decided to make a gift to Discovery Eye Foundation in her father's name using appreciated securities. Not only will her father's legacy live on at Discovery Eye Foundation thanks to the gift and a commemorative plaque, but Sarah also received a federal income tax charitable deduction (because she itemizes her taxes) and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.

The Art of "Hygge"
The term "hygge" pronounced "hoo-ga" is a Danish word that is most often translated into English as "coziness" or "togetherness." Hygge first appeared in the Danish lexicon somewhere around the end of the 18th century from a Norwegian word for well-being and is now a cultural concept deeply embedded in Danish culture as a panacea against coldness, stress, and solitude. Despite being a subarctic country with long, cold winters that include up to 17 hours of darkness a day and temperatures averaging 0C, Denmark was named the #1 happiest country in the world by U.N. on its World Happiness Report in 2013. Denmark is certainly known for its wonderful work/life balance, including easy access to health care, low pollution, and at least 5 weeks of paid vacation a year. However, its thought that its culture of hygge is also heavily responsible for the general well-being of its citizens.
Since Danes must spend a large amount of time indoors during the winter, there is a larger emphasis on entertaining at home. Hygge might look like spending time with family and friends by candlelight, often with cake, coffee, or beer. The average Danish home also emphasizes natural materials like wood and leather and gentle, soothing light to create a sense of being in a cozy nest.
"Sitting by the fire on a cold night, wearing a woolly jumper, while drinking mulled wine and stroking a dog - probably surrounded by candles. That's definitely "hygge". Eating home-made cinnamon pastries. Watching TV under a duvet. Tea served in a china set. Family get-togethers at Christmas. They're all hygge too."
-Justin Parkinson BBC News Magazine
I first learned about hygge a few months back, when a friend forwarded me an article about it. I was struck by how familiar of a concept it was to me. For as long as I can remember, I have naturally felt inclined each winter to engage in what I call "warm and fuzzy" activities. Wearing cozy sweaters, drinking hot toddies, building sheet forts with friends, listening to records, cuddling with loved ones, baking cookies, reading books- all of these activities are ways I have always maintained well-being during the fall and winter months. What struck me when reading this article was the potential to extend this cultural concept within our own communities to a year-round activity. Not to advocate laziness but to encourage ourselves to practice kindness to ourselves and our communities, to advocate for balance and nourishment in our daily lives year round.
One of the best ways to incorporate herbal hygge into your life during winter is in the form of tea. I love teas not only because they are warming and tasty but the ritual of brewing and drinking tea itself can be a way of slowing down and relaxing. If you are new to brewing and blending herbal teas, feel free to visit here for instructions. Below, are two caffeine-free herbal tea recipes to brew for yourself and friends this winter:
Herbal Coffee
1 part Roasted Dandelion Root
1 part Roasted Chicory Root
1 part Roasted Carob
Use 1-2 tsp per 8 oz of water and infuse 15 minutes. Feel free to add a little warm almond or coconut milk and/or honey to taste.
Rooibos Chai
1 T Red Rooibos tea
3-6 Whole Cardamom pods
3-6 Black peppercorns
3 Whole Cloves
1 tsp Cinnamon chips
1 tsp Ginger root
Blend herbs together. If you have a mortar and pestle, you can grind them together until they are well combined and broken up. Put herbs in a small pan and add 1 1/2-2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes. While your tea is simmering, gently warm 1/2 cup of milk, almond milk, or coconut milk. Strain tea and fill your mug about 2/3rds full. Top it with warmed milk and add honey to taste.

I've noticed that Colorado's vision has been getting worse.
A while back I noticed that when I would throw her ball for her, she'd often go right by it several times as she excitedly searched for it. I knew she had cataracts, but honestly, I wasn't sure if she was just too excited to see it.
Then, a few months ago she started bumping into furniture in dark rooms.
A couple of weeks ago, I gave her a treat and even though I was holding it right in front of her, she didn't see it until I moved it slightly to the her right.
I imagine that many human beings in this situation would despair at the loss of their vision.
Colorado is not bothered by it.
Several times I've witnessed her come barrelling through the livingroom, only to run into something.
Each time, she picks herself up, and continues on whatever quest she is on.
She does not stop and think, "WTF?!"
Thoughts of a life without vision don't seem to intrude.
This became evident when I was throwing her tennis ball for her. Normally I throw it from living room to dining room. It is not a rare for her to lose track of it and end up weaving around the dining room table in search of it. She likes that game, she is always very excited and happy and when we play.
This time she couldn't find the ball. It was in the middle of the floor. I pointed at it and she still couldn't see it…..until I put my finger on it.
Her reaction….."OMG! I FOUND THE BALL!!! YAY FOR ME!!!! AGAIN!AGAIN!AGAIN!!!"
The fact that she needed help didn't diminish her joy one bit.
She didn't become consumed with what would happen when the time came that she couldn't see at all.
She rejoiced in the moment. Nothing else mattered.
…and that is the purest example I can think of for "Living in the Now"
It is something I've struggled to achieve since the concept was introduced to me years ago by my then therapist Roberta.
Essentially, Living in the Now means not worrying about what could happen in the next moment, or obsessing over what happened in the last.
In the example Roberta gave, imagine the van you are driving is stuck in the mud.
Worrying about what will happen if you don't reach your destination in time, or obsessing over the circumstances that got you stuck will not get you unstuck.
I will point out that this doesn't mean shirking responsibilities or not learning from mistakes.
In the past year there have been many changes in my life. Happily I've made great strides toward this whole living in the moment thing.
I am better at taking each day as it comes. But there are things that I still need to work on.
I think fear is one of the strongest forces in nature. Especially when the fear is one of the biggest an individual faces.
That is why this lesson on Living in the Now is a hard one for me.
Both my dogs are getting older.
Even though it is an unavoidable aspect of nature, the thought of losing them terrifies me.
It is not that the fact that they will someday die that worries me.
The darkness that looms large and often makes me feel small and helpless is that when they are gone that I will be alone.
And that my friends, is my biggest fear.
It might surprise a great deal of you because I often seek solitude, and am well known for not being able to stay in large gatherings for very long.
But, that solitude has always included my girls.
When these musings are coupled with depression, the thought of not being able to reach over and run my fingers through canine fur reduces me tears….even when I'm actually doing just that.
That is the anti-thesis of Living in the Now.
The passing of Shelby, my cocker spaniel almost destroyed me.
It was a week before I could return to work, and nearly 6 months before a day passed without me crying over his absence.
That was during a difficult time in my life. I wasn't ready to let him go, but he was ready, and I made him a promise. And I keep my promises no matter how badly they cut.
In the immediate time after. People kept their distance. Close friends and family told others that I would want my space, and to grieve in private.
I appreciated it, because that's what I thought I needed.
It was only years later that I realized how very wrong that was. My isolation exacerbated the pervasive emptiness in my life.
Now, even though both my girls are healthy and happy, that fear is back.
While most of the time I enjoy the time with my girls without any thought of what happens, there are times when the future intrudes and cannot be pushed away.
My life is much better now. I have more friends, and am better at being social.
I know in my heart that my friends and family will be there whatever the day brings.
But one of the things about mental illness is that your head sometimes injects false and terrifying realities that are not easily banished.
I've been working on this for awhile.
A bought of depression sprang up sometime after I first came up with the idea for this post. I don't know if working on it is what caused my current bought of depression.
It was very difficult to finish….

It's no surprise that John Charles is an award-winning mother of the bride label. Our fashion-conscious mums love the on-trend dresses teamed with neat boleros and jackets. John Charles is a leading name in occasion wear and is flying the flag for a UK-based design house. We are very proud to have this collection available at Fab Frocks.
This collection brings together beautiful dresses, jackets and frock coats that complement a woman's figure. Quality as well as style is this designer's trademark with fabrics that make you feel special on the wedding day. So special that JC was a favourite choice for guests at the Royal wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton and will no doubt also feature amongst the wedding
guests at the forthcoming Royal wedding in May!
This designer knows all about complementing a woman's figure. Subtle ruching at the middle helps to flatter your tummy and hips. Most dresses have sleeves – cap, three-quarter length or long. You can confidently take your jacket off and still have elegant cover of your arms.
A lot of detail goes into the neckline of many of the styles. Bear in mind you do spend a lot of time sitting down at a wedding especially if you are at the top table. Pretty sparkle, lace or vintage-inspired embroidery make the top half of the dresses very special.
The 2019 collection also sees more choice of standalone dresses in response to customer feedback with more mums of the bride and groom wanting a wow dress with sleeves. These gorgeous occasion wear dresses mean there is no need for a jacket. Again neckline detail on these is truly stunning. Our customers are also loving these as alternative wedding dresses for a mature bride or for vow renewal.
Think subtle and sophisticated. Soft silvers, champagne gold, vintage pinks and dusky greens are all on offer this season. There's also the hard-to-beat baby blues and navy. It is a colour palette that works so well against ivory wedding dresses. It also complements popular bridesmaid dress colours, particularly if the wedding is vintage-themed.
John Charles works closely with a milliner to provide hats and headpieces to match their outfits. Many are trimmed with co-ordinating fabrics to pull the whole look together for you. There's even a swatch of fabric provided on your outfit so you can colour-match other accessories. Remember we can help with shoes and handbags that can be dyed in any colour you wish.
Sizing can vary by style, please contact us or call on 01202 765352 for the size details of a particular style.

~ attending the 5th grade choral concert, where eager high-pitched voices coming from animated and excited faces blended with reluctant mumbly, too-cool-for-this ones. What a study in the different rates of child development!
Smallish pleasures
~ pictures of children throughout the decades ^, via Life Magazine's photo library, and wondering where they and their progeny are now
~ sunshine on the new glitter-snow, making everything look fresh again
~ a perfect avocado--not too mushy, not too underripe-- on my melted cheese tortilla today
~ going out with G last night (on a Tuesday!) to meet our friend Sugata, who was here for business. Relatedly, being reminded how sweet it is to know someone for so long (for over 24 years!) and feel really known. What a good heart he has.
~ having everything go wrong technologically with my class on Monday (Murphy and his law came and camped out: my computer wouldn't work with the projector, so no powerpoint and the internet wasn't working either so we couldn't listen to the clips I had prepared) BUT making it through anyway. Now I know the answer to the "what if" fears. I still survived.
~ receiving kind emails from my students
~ planning a get-away trip with G {any great suggestions for a destination?}
~ holding nummy babies
~ the sight of two of my kids wearing headgear every evening (I keep thinking of you, Andrea). I find it endearing.
~ my 89-year-old grandparents on Facebook
~ receiving a Valentines package today from those same grandparents
~ junky Superbowl food and funny commercials
~ Friday Night Lights (I still love that show.)
~ replenishing the toilet paper supply in every bathroom (no one else seems to notice when we're out!)
~ my newish black fitted motorcycle-style jacket
~ breaking icicles off of the roofline of our house (satisfying!)
And you? What are your small pleasures these days?

By Tom J. Kennedy
I have been encouraging SDI entrepreneurs to explore the idea of purchasing each other's products and/or services and thereby support the SDI industry.
Linda O'Niones has authored an article titled" "Purchasing Each Other's MLM Products and Services: What a Concept!"
This is a quote from the article:
"We aim to empower one another, set a good example by purchasing each other's products services, and pass our funds back and forth in our own mini-economy." – Linda O'Niones
Linda O'Niones explains that one of the goals of the organization referred to as "Our Milk Money" is to promote the entrepreneurial success of all parents who are self-employed by operating home-based enterprises. These parents are to be congratulated for daring to be different and staying-at-home for the benefit of their children while making an effort to support each other by purchasing each other's products and/or services.
The website for Our Milk Money has a national directory with an accompanying search engine where participants list the products and/or services offered. Then any visitors can review the listings and contact the entrepreneurs and negotiate the purchases – which could also be trades or exchanges.
Those who choose to participate are making a conscious choice to spend their money differently – by shopping within their own loyal networks. By their actions of "loyal and local shopping" they are creating their own local, mini-economy.
"As a mother of two young boys and a stay-at-home business owner, it's important to know that when I'm purchasing from a company featured on the site, I'm also helping to support their loved ones," says Jen Parker, member of Our Milk Money and owner of Jen Parker Photography.
It would be a wonderful idea if SDI entrepreneurs would copy this concept and begin to actively seek out other SDI entrepreneurs and barter/trade or purchase products and/or services from each other's home-based enterprises. This action would create a mini-economy within the SDI industry in our respective local communities.I have been advocating this concept for a very long time BUT as of this present date, SDI entrepreneurs have been reluctant to embrace the idea – choosing instead to only network with their own team or organization.
In the final analysis, SDI entrepreneurs have to spend money for personal, family and business needs, so why not be loyal and support fellow-SDI entrepreneurs, instead of continuing to give the money to the giant trans-national, retail corporations?
Imagine the power and potential of the SDI industry when SDI entrepreneurs commit to empowering each other by shopping within our own loyal networks. SDI entrepreneurs are in a unique position indeed to take a leadership role in re-building the spirit of community.
NOTE: If your local community has a usuryfree community currency, then as an SDI entrepreneur you can enrol with the group and when you negotiate a sale, agree to accept federal cash for the wholesale cost of your product or service and request the balance of the retail mark-up in the usuryfree community currency. And if your local community does not yet have a usuryfree community currency, assume a leadership role and create/launch one with your SDI network, team or organization.

The complaint filed by Mario Williams in a Houston lawsuit over a $785,000 engagement ring accuses his ex-fiancee, Erin Marzouki, of gold-digging, alleging that she never intended to marry him.
Now Marzouki's attorney, Tony Buzbee, is firing back, citing the Buffalo Bills defensive end's emotional instability as the reason the engagement was called off.
"It was only after Ms. Marzouki refused to take him back that he became angry and filed this frivolous case," Buzbee said Friday, via the Houston Chronicle, after the sides couldn't reach a settlement in a three-hour mediation hearing.
Buzbee said Williams broke off the engagement at least five times. Buzbee also released a three-page series of text messages that Williams allegedly sent to Marzouki, showing the two-time Pro Bowl pick in a disturbed state.
"I took 3 hydrocodones this morning and no one knows," Williams allegedly texted Marzouki. "I'm going to take 2 more on the plane and fade away." He allegedly went on to text, "No money in the world should leave me with suicidal thoughts."
Marzouki, also a former Houston Texans employee, responded, "You told me you're having suicidal thoughts. Clearly me & you don't need to talk after every mean thing you said to me, but I'm going to tell DD to call you or something BC you went above and beyond saying suicidal thoughts, taking pills. Someone that you trust needs to intervene."
Williams appears to be on the receiving end of bad legal advice. Texas law awards the engagement ring to a woman if a man breaks off the relationship. Williams stands to lose the ring while also taking a roundhouse blow to his reputation.
UPDATE: Williams said the pain killers were prescribed and dispensed by the Bills, and he has not had suicidal thoughts, The Buffalo News reported Monday.
