If you're planning to use the popular Chicco Key Fit infant car seat, you don't even need an adapter to create a travel system. The infant seat just clicks right into the stroller. The rear seat also accepts an infant seat, so you can easily accommodate newborn twins without buying any extra car seat adapters. The seats also recline independently, and they lay flat, so the actual seats are suitable for small babies, too. The basket underneath is easy to access when the rear seat is raised, plus the manufacturer included a zipper at the back so you can get into the basket when the seat is laying flat, too. It has cupholders for everyone, and a parent console at the top. It folds easily with a one-hand trigger and locks closed on its own. Holds 40 pounds in each seat. Weight - 34 pounds.

Libre.fm is a music community website that aims to provide a Free Software replacement for last.fm.[3] The website was founded in 2009 by Matt Lee.
Libre.fm can optionally store a user's listening habits using information sent to the website's server from the user's audio player via scrobbling. In order to enable support for Libre.fm on existing audio players, the website implements the Last.fm Audioscrobbler API.[1][4] In addition to collecting user uploaded listening data, the site offers streaming music using the Ogg container, from the sites Jamendo or The Internet Archive, via an HTML5 audio player, run directly in the user's browser.
By utilizing the records of users' listening habits, the website aims to be able to recommend music to users by analyzing their musical taste. However, this feature isn't fully developed yet.[5] The site currently only offers basic suggestions if content a user has "Loved" (favorited), contains shared tags with content a user has not favorited yet. Registered users who have favorited tracks, will have that content appear in streaming web playlists, called "Radio Stations". It is not currently possible to build custom playlists.
A goal of the project is to encourage artists to release tracks under a free license, and allow users to download or purchase these tracks. Only artists releasing music under free content licenses are promoted by the site. The website will also allow users to communicate among themselves, create groups of common interests and share information on musical events.[6]
The main reasoning behind the foundation of Libre.fm was to provide a service similar to last.fm that respects the privacy of its users and their information. As such, Libre.fm does not log users' IP addresses and does not claim ownership on users' data.[2]
Libre.fm is powered by the free software package GNU FM,[7] created for the project.

The Travel Jitters
So everything is planned. All the tickets booked. All our places of stay. Cars reserved. Bathing suits bought. Bags packed (and sent in advance). Grandmas birthday cake eaten (she happened to have her birthday just the day before we go). And by the way, we are leaving tomorrow.
Directionally Challenged Assistance
That is the day when I start to check the airline website again, to make sure that I got the check-in time right. I check the route from the airport to the hotel (or lodge, or villa). I check how to get the key. And so on. I do not worry. Yet. I just want to make sure. And that I know how being sure will help me. For instance, if the key is in a box with a four-digit code, do I press the buttons or turn them? How does the lock box work? How do we get into the elevator, and when we do, how do we get out when we get to the right floor? Do we go right or left?
I know, I do not really have to worry about these things. If we go right or left when we get out of the elevator is something we can worry about later. When we get there. But the less insecurity there is, the less worry there will be, and less frustration.
Getting lost can be interesting, if you do not have a couple of hungry and tired children to drag along, and have to meet your wife or husband in a certain place and a certain time.
Some people (chronically directionally challenged, lacking a sense of location and direction) find ways of coping with the situation, like bringing maps or compasses. Or my wives mother, who will ask the first passerby to help her when she gets lost. Which would be a good strategy if she had a clue about the destination. Like, what it is called.
Five Year Olds Are Cuter
When you are 80 years old and never have had to find your own way, you become completely dependent on others. You can get by only by throwing yourself on the mercy of others and asking how to get to your destination. Which works if there are people who are willing to be nice to a little old lady. And speak her language.
If you get lost in a foreign country and do not speak the language it does not matter so much if you are five years old or eighty. You will end up in the care of someone who can take you somewhere you will be taken care of. I probably should make a T-shirt for grandma for the next time she gets lost.
Street Maps Are Good At Home
The best way of handling the situation, though, is not to be lost in the first place. The second is to speak the local language. Both require preparation, but learning a new language takes a lot more preparation than finding the way using a map.
Regardless of where you are going and whether you speak the local language you need to find your way around your destination on a map. At least Google Map, with Streetview and Google Earth. Navigating foreign destinations from the comfort of your own home is great fun, but does not compare to actually being there. In particular since you can not see all of it. Look at Thai streets and you will be severely challenged to figure out if you can push a stroller around somwhere in there.
Checking The Budget
You can apply the same thinking to the budget. Before we leave, I check my calculations. I know how much I make per month. I know what we are going to pay (or at least how much I can afford to pay). I know how much I can afford to pay off my credit cards. So this is why I need to book far ahead in advance. So I can pay for the trip when I get paid.
The alternative (since I know how much I earn, how much I can pay, and how much our trip will cost) is to save the money ahead of time. Then I could pay off the entire trip at once, and get a small interest payment to boot. The disadvantage of that is we would either have to decide where to go in time to start saving, or we would miss out on booking the best-priced seats. As you probably have noticed, there are no fixed prices for airline tickets any more. The airlines set the prices according to projected demand. But it is not so easy.
Travel With Cargo
An airline loses money when nobody sits in a seat when the plane takes off. Unless they are on a route where there is plenty of freight. Then they may not want those pesky people who cost money. Air freight does not require stewardesses, booze or blankets. It is happy to sit in the cargo hold and make money for the airline while the reciever and sender are happy because they are getting their stuff earlier and faster than they would if they had to wait until a cargo plane would be full and could be scheduled.
This is something you can use for yourself if you want lots of seats, by the way. Like an entire row to lie down on. An airplane can only transport so much weight (and volume, but that is usually less a concern with people than freight). So if there are routes with lots of freight, airlines may be inclined to prioritize stuff over people and limit the number of people if they have lots of freight.
At The Mercy Of The LCC
Those routes are from destinations where they make time-critical goods to destinations where they use time-critical goods. To be able to use it to get seats, there has to be a steady demand for goods.
This means only a few routes are concerned. Those time-critical goods are not very common and they are not sent all the time. And there is another problem: This only applies to long-haul airlines. Which means it does not happen on the routes where low-cost airlines fly. So unfortunately you are completely at the mercy of the low-cost carriers, the likes of Ryanair and Air Asia, when it comes to scheduling cheap short-haul flights.
Better Than Flying
Sometimes there are better alternatives than flying. In Japan, anything within a one hour flight is accessible with a four-hour train ride. That may sound like a no-brainer until you consider the time it takes to get to the airport, check in, pass security and passport control, and hang around waiting for boarding. And while there may be a flight every hour, there are trains to the big destinations every ten minutes in Japan.
But you already bought that airplane ticket, booked that AirBnB, and rented that car. You have done everything you could to create the smoothest trip possible - haven't you?
It is useless to worry now. You can no longer control your choices. You have made them, trust the people you bought from to deliver. Manage what you can control, and adapt to what you can not control. Just before the trip there is no way you can manage your choices any more. Just try to execute them to perfection - so you make the trip as smooth as possible.
Just to make it clear from the start, there is no such thing as an international drivers license. So what did I just get from the drivers license office?
If you have ever done a search on the Internet for something containing the words "international" and "drive" or even remotely similar things, you are sure to have seen the ads for international drivers licenses pop up (and nowadays, even more irritatingly, following you around). As I need to drive when we are in Sweden, I need some way of showing that I am allowed to.
Not Valid In Brazil And China
Every country has its own rules, but if they are signatories to the International Convention on Road Traffic of 19 September 1949, they recognize each others drivers licenses if you also have an international driving permit, which is just a piece of paper with some impressive stamps and text in English and French. So with my international drivers permit, I can drive in most countries in the world. The most notable exceptions are China and Brazil.
Follow-On Conventions
There have been a number of subsequent conventions, and most notably the EU has harmonized its drivers license requirements, but the conventions build on each other. So I am permitted to drive in Sweden as well as the US (if my wife will let me). I drove in Ishigaki and during our Okinawa trip.
Pay The Fee And Go
But, this is not as good as it sounds. The only requirement for getting the international drivers permit is that I have a valid drivers license and that I pay the fee. Why is that bad?
Because in Japan we drive on the left, which Sweden stopped doing in 1967. And to get a Swedish drivers license, you have to drive several hours on a specially built slippery course. Roads in Sweden can be quite treacherous, and you actually need to have tried driving on an ice slick to know how to handle the car. A verbal description just can not make justice of that weird feeling when your wheels no longer obey the steering, and the counterintuitive way of straightening out the skid.
Capturing The Moose Feeling
Nor can you appropriately capture the feeling of a moose suddenly appearing in front of your car, or the "elchtest" which requires you to turn suddenly, or get a 500-kilogram hunk of meat across the windshield. You may remember how it got famous. A Swedish motor journalist was testing the Mercedes A-class car and when he did the turn, the car flipped over.
Now, this is no joke. After seeing a friends car after such an encounter, you realize that the speed of the vehicle is added to the mass of the moose. No wonder Swedish cars used to be sturdy.
Dangerous But Convenient
So how on Earth can a drivers license from a country where there hardly ever is any snow, where people rarely drive faster than 70 km per hour, where there are less than a hundred roundabouts, have its own completely different road signs, and drive on the left side of the road be valid in Sweden?
It is. And in the US it was the same - But I keep wishing that there was some training associated with it, since I care about the safety of my family. I do not want to expose them to a moose. But it makes renting a car very convenient.
Back To Seoul
I have written about our trip to Korea before. We went to Seoul for a week and absolutely loved it. The kids did a lot of walking - our sturdy stroller got a puncture on the first day and then we just forgot about it.
Now our Seoul trip was featured in the TraveLynn family interviews about Asian travel! Since it was our favorite trip so far, that was an awsome feeling. Made me want to go back to Korea even more. And not only that! We were featured by familyoffduty in their humongous blog post about places to travel in Asia! Really happy to help people to choose where to go with their families! I also got to write a separate post on Seoul, so check it out!
Ways to remember your trips
Our kids talk about the trips they have been on and the places they have been to all the time. They love Korean food (they could eat their own weight in ossam, the steamed pork which is not spicy at all).
Our way to remember our trips are through the taste and some small mementoes (seashells they picked at the beach on Ishigaki), but mostly talking about the trips and what we did there. And look at the photos we took.
How To Beat Jetlag With Toddlers
We are starting to plan for our next big trip, almost halfway around the world. As anyone with children can tell you, the first time you meet the extended family can be a bit of a strain; and going to the country of their citizenship for the first time will be interesting.
with a trip this long (first flight is four hours; then 2.5 hours stopover; then a 10-hour flight) you need to minimize the painpoints.
A big part of traveling that far is planning for the trip. I have written before about flying with toddlers and about flying with infants. The two are very different. Best case, your infant is cute and smiling to your seat neighbors as you taxi out to the runway, and then falls asleep for the duration of the journey.
The Jetlag Painpoint
Aside from the flight itself, one of the major painpoints is the jetlag. It is not just your kids waking up in the middle of the night and wanting to go out and play. They occasionally do that at home too. It is more about them not being able to fall asleep; not getting enough sleep; sleeping at odd hours and being grumpy and crying because they want to sleep but don't know how.
Timing The Excercise
There is a simple way to make sure your children get into the right rhythm as soon as possible, and that is perhaps counterintuitive: Tire them out.
This may sound like a no-brainer. Of course they need to be tired to sleep. But if your brain is tired but your body is going full steam, then you get monumental tantrums. You need to make the body more tired than the brain, and you need your children to get tited at the right time. If their bedtime at home is 7 PM, you need them to go to sleep at 7 PM locally and not wake up until the time their usual wake-up time.
That is quite a trick, as all parents know. It is even harder when they want to fall asleep at 3 PM the local time. Which means they will wake up at 3 AM, wake you up, not go back to sleep, and be grumpy and full of tantrums the entire day.
Research The Playgrounds First
So how do you make sure your kids get tired enough to fall asleep properly? Well, it is about two things: Research, and timing.
Timing first. This is not just about when to send your kids to bed. It is also about when to have dinner with your children, when your family should arrive at your destination, how long time you should take to getting to your place of stay, etc.
The time of arrival at your destination - the airport, that is - should not be too close to bedtime. Regardless of whether your kids slept on the plane or not, arriving just after lunchtime gives you the optimum amount of time to acclimatize. They will be tired but not so tired they can not stay awake. After getting your luggage and a light lunch at the airport (think sandwich), you take the train, bus, shuttle or rental car to where you will stay.
Playground Planning
It does not matter if they sleep through the ride to where you will stay, wake them up when you get there or when you have to change trains. It may seem brutal but they are not ready to sleep yet. Give them some water and a snack, and go for a long walk in the neigborhood. A really long walk, at least an hour. You need to research this in advance so you do not get lost. And know how long it takes. There is always something interesting to see, independently of where you are going. But check in first, so you are rid of the luggage.
Now it is time to leverage the second preparation item, Research. You can find our a lot about the neigborhood on Google Maps and Google Streetview, but you need to check out what you find, both physically and online. Especially reviews can be helpful.
After the long walk, you locate the playground. It does not have to be big, but it should have some equipment so they can get some variation in their excercise. Slides and swings are enough, and never mind that your kids get their hands dirty digging in the sand.
Now comes the hard part. They have to run and play for at least an hour. They are already a bit tired from the long walk and they may complain about playing and want to go home. They will need some encouragement. Dinner when the big hand of the clock stands straight up is one way of encouragement, your playing along with them is another.
Advance Restaurant Booking
The next step is dinner. Instead of making your kids sleepy, it will probably perk them up as they get more energy in their bodies.
You need a restaurant close to your accomodation but you also need it to be family-friendly. This should influence your choice of the place to stay, too. If it is like most Japanese family restaurants, you may be stuck with a childrens menu that consists mainly of breaded and fried shrimp and orange juice.
After dinner you need to go "home", and familiarize youself with the place where you are going to stay. It should now be about 8 PM. Your kids may want to play some more so you can either give them a bath or dress them in pyamas straight away, and no later than 8 PM you should start the bedtime routine and let the kids go to bed.
It may require that you go to bed with them too. If you should happen to fall asleep too, there is no helping it: The total physical exhaustion has done its work.
It works for us. If it does not work for you, I contributed to a collection of tips where you are sure to find one that cures the jetlag of your kids.
Tokyo lights up from Halloween until mid-February. Despite calling this "christmas illumination" it is really a way for the cities and shopping centers to scare away the winter blues. Daylight in Tokyo start around 7 AM and it starts to get dark at 1630, but stores are regularly open until at least 20:00.
Every shopping center has its own illumination, and they are definitely worth watching if you happen to be there. But there are five places in Tokyo which are easily accessible with a stroller, and where the illuminations really are something special. So where should you take your kids if you are in Tokyo for the 2017 Christmas and New Year season?
i have written before about finding baby products in Japan, and the problem of finding diapers when the brands make no sense.
Now there is a reference page for all countries, thanks to the Wandermust family. Here you can get help for those moments when you are standing in the store wondering which side is up, and what the product actually is supposed to do for your child.
By the way, a tip: if your child is on formula, buy Hohoemi cubes. They are compressed formula powder blocks that dissolve in hot water. Super-convenient for feedings on the go - no more messing with powder.
Going Up, Down, Or Sideways?
Elevators in Tokyo subways are usually easy to understand. The arrow pointing up makes it go up, the downward arrow makes it go down. If there are more than one floor 1, 2, 3 ... are easy to understand. B1, B2, B3 are no ptoblem either - those are basement floors, where you find the grocery departments in the department stores. That is also usually where the stores connect to the trains or subway.
Trains are the most convenient and cheapest ways of getting around in Tokyo, if you avoid rush hour as I have written about before. And the easiest way of getting to the subway, at least if you have a kid in a stroller, is to take the elevator.
But where is this elevator going? What does the characters on the buttons mean? And it does not help the tourist that the staff have been helpful and addrd text in hiragana, the Japanese syllabic writing.
The elevator is going down, since I pressed the ホーム button. It reads "ho-mu", and does not mean home, but is an abbreviated form of the Japanese pronounciation of "platform". So the elevator is on its way to the platform where the trains depart.
But where is it coming from? The characters 改札口 means ticket gate (kaisatsuguchi in Japanese). Which means you took it after entering the ticket gates.
But where is this elevator coming from? It is evidently on its way to the ticket gatrs, since that is the button that is lit. But where is 地上?
Pronounced "chishou" it simply means "above ground". So the elevator is going from street level to the ticket gates.
Hope this helps!

A Boat With Your Dinner? {The Dummies Guide To Celery Boats}
"I don't want my peas!"
"I don't like beans!"
"This cauliflower smells like feet!"
"I want dessert!"
"Can I be done?"
Sometimes I have to get creative. I've learned that adding apple sauce makes everything edible - even carrots. (When it's home made and sugar free I don't see the harm.) Sometimes just drawing a happy face with a bead of ketchup helps the potatoes find their way to a mouth. There's always the threat of no dessert but that only goes so far. They learn quickly to negotiate or, "well, what's for dessert anyway? (Because if it's not awesome, I don't even care!)"
Tonight was Mommy's Diner Night. Chicken fingers and fries. This happens on a night that daddy is away. Usually it is served with sliced apples. Tonight I crafted celery sailboats. You've seen them before, I'm sure, but I thought they were adorable enough to document.
The Dummies Guide to Celery Boats:
1. Wash and cut fresh celery
{*Mommy tip: peel celery - it makes it taste sweeter and minimizes the stringy bites that turn some kids off}
2. Fill with Cheez Whiz or Peanut Butter (both valid food groups in our home)
3. Add raisins as little sailors
4. Secure cucumber sails with toothpicks
5. Enjoy watching your kids devour their veggies and beg for more while ignoring their french fries.

The Volataliser was a type of explosive equipment. The Xanthoids used them for mining operations, while the Master used one to try to kill the Third Doctor.
The Volataliser was a tube-like canister, not especially large in size. Despite this, a Volataliser could destroy an area up to a mile in circumference. The Master set up a canister in the control cabin of the Beacon Hill Research Establishment and tied it to the door, so that if anyone tried to open the door it would fall to the ground and destroy the building. The Doctor was able to act quickly enough to catch it before it blew up. (TV: Terror of the Autons, PROSE: Doctor Who and the Terror of the Autons)
The Ice Warrior ambassador and prince, Zixlyr, smuggled a volataliser onto Peladon by crippling his own ship and causing it to crash land on Peladon. He wished to use the volataliser to kill whomever was responsible for his twin sister Alixlyr's disappearance. When Sekhmet, Alixlyr's killer, was tricked into being poisoned by Erimem, Zixlyr held Sekhmet in place and started the countdown on his volataliser. Zixlyr blew himself and Sekhmet up, sealing her tomb. (AUDIO: The Bride of Peladon)

I realize I've been posting more desserts than normal. Yes, I've still been cooking, but have been posting more photo's from the trip to Europe and have had more requests that I've been trying to answer. Our cousin Brenda mentioned Coconut flour so I did a little homework and promised to produce some dishes using it. I found it quickly at Trader Joes. The Baker Josef 's Organic Coconut Flour is not only a healthy option, but it's also phenomenally flavored with a long list of food applications.
Bill and I have been reducing, but not completely omitting gluten in our diets after reading "Wheat Belly" earlier this year. Neither of us has any specific insensitivity, but believe it can't hurt to cut much of it! The overall rise of gluten insensitivity has led to the innovation of a whole range of substitute flours ground from host of alternative nuts and grains. What's become clear is that the benefits of non-wheat flours go far beyond gastrointestinal health.
It is naturally high in protein, high in fiber, and low in carbs. It is not just easy on your internal organs, but it works well in a wide variety of recipes from savory fried chicken to sweets. They suggest that you use it for breading fish before you fry or bake it. Use it to thicken soups, sauces, and gravies, all while adding an attractive hint of coconut aroma and flavor. There are a few things you should know about coconut flour before you use it as a substitute. You can expect to use less coconut flour than typical wheat flour and I found this website helpful: http://weightloss.answers.com/nutrition/5-things-you-should-know-before-using-coconut-flour
I've also read that you should store it in the fridge for freshness. It smells amazing and I decided to prepare some dessert bars for last Sunday's family dinner. I was winging it and assembled this recipe with ingredients that I had on hand after reviewing others on line. They turned out really good considering I baked them on the grill because it was too hot to run the oven! I think I'll take a swing at making Macaroons next because it's been on my list for a while.
1 Can Coconut Milk
1 Cup Coconut Flour
4 Eggs, beaten with whisk
3/4 Cups Sugar
2 Tablespoons Almond Extract
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Coconut, shredded sweetened
2/3 Cup Chocolate Chips
2/3 Cup White Chocolate Chips
2/3 Cup Pecans, roasted and chopped
Combine the beaten eggs with the coconut milk, baking soda, sugar and extract and whisk until smooth. Add the coconut flour, but don't over mix. It becomes thick and absorbs the liquid quickly.
Reserve about 1/4 Cup each of the chopped nuts, coconut and chips for a topping before gently stirring in the remaining chocolate chips, nuts; as well as the shredded coconut and stir just until combined.
Spray an 8 X 8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and spread the batter evenly. Sprinkle the remaining toppings and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until the bars spring back to the touch.
Allow to cool before cutting. Mine were very "cake like" and fluffy and I prefer the ingredients mixed in.
Above is an image of traditional bars that you could make thinner by using a larger pan and/or simply topping the batter while reducing the baking time.
Store in air tight container in the refrigerator. They are good cold the next day or three!

Bathroom Ideas For Small Spaces
With a small bathroom you really do need to make the most of the available space.
With a bit of creativity and patience it should be fairly simple to improve on what you already have in your small bathroom.
One solution that is often recommended these days is to opt for small fixtures in your bathroom.
Many small bathrooms have been fitting with standard sized toilets, sinks, showers and baths.
But by option for small baths and showers, or small wall hung sinks and toilets for instance, you can have a bathroom that is just as useable, but has that bit more working space available.
Another space saver is to put the shower in the corner as a corner shower cubicle which allows the shower to be a little smaller but just as practical.
Plain light colors on the walls and floor will create an impression of space in your bathroom.
Add mirrors to bounce the light around as this will also add to the feeling of spaciousness.

State and Local Finances Prop Up an Expanding U.S. Economy
Interview conducted by Rachel Duran
Editor's Note: This interview was conducted October 17, 2014. For the latest information in regard to the U.S. economic forecast, visit www.conference-board.org.
The U.S. national economy is expanding, and is expected to continue to do so in 2015. One of the strengths has been an increase in local and state finances. Sales tax and income tax receipts have picked up across the country, and an increase in housing sales and the property taxes that accompany them, continue to strengthen the economic health of some areas.
While budget woes continue at the federal government level, state and local budgets are held at bay. In some cases there is money to set aside to improve infrastructure. It is important to note that state and local finances, which receive much less attention than federal finances, are almost twice as large.
The Conference Board's Ken Goldstein points out that with the restoration of budgets, come hard questions: Where will we put the money? Back into education or into our crumbling infrastructure?
Heading into 2015, The Conference Board forecasts an improvement of above average growth for the country in the next few quarters, with the possibility of the Southwest outperforming the national economy, in terms of its labor and housing markets.
Rachel Duran: Ken, here we are in the fourth quarter of 2014. What is the national economic outlook, based on the latest findings of The Conference Board?
Ken Goldstein: The Conference Board runs two indicator series', the Coincident Economic Index and the Leading Economic Index.
The Coincident Economic Index tells us where we are right now. The index has been moving along through the spring and summer, not setting any records but certainly not showing that the economy is or has been losing any steam.
The Leading Economic Index signals where the Coincident Economic Index may be headed and it is telling us we will have more of the same in the fall and winter, or even better growth, so we have an anomaly in the sense that if you look at U.S. economy it not doing great but it is OK. And if anything it may pick up steam.
And yet we see all this financial turmoil this week [October 13-17]. There is a real disconnect between what is going in the financial markets and what is happening in the overall economy.
What is driving that, and there are always different factors, one of which is here we are in October and this is the end of quantitative easing , the Federal Reserve's bond buying program. Therefore we are "x" months away from when the Fed will start to raise interest rates.
And just as we saw in the spring of 2013, what is called the "taper tantrum" when it first became clear that quantitative easing was not going to go on forever. The Fed is not going to continue this program or start a new program, and we are back into tantrum mode, if you will.
It appears today [October 17] there is a bit of settling in the financial markets, the stock market, the bond market, the foreign exchange market and the commodities markets. We will see if this is a one day reprieve or something else.
In all likelihood it is more of a tantrum in the financial markets than a sign that we are facing a strong and long lasting deterioration of financial market conditions in part because the overall economy is doing OK, and will likely start to move up a bit.
There is no signal here from the overall economy and any of the individual segments of the economy and in any individual regionals of the economy that things are starting to fall apart.
Duran: The outlook is so much different compared to when we discussed the economy a year ago.
Goldstein: If you remember, a year ago is when the federal government shut down the economy. As we approach this mid-term election there is no sign that this is happening or that Congress will come back in the post-election lame duck session and shut down the government.
And one of the reasons for the improvement in the economy, certainly this year, is that state and local finances are in better shape than they have been since the beginning of the Great Recession.
One of the things going on is sales tax and income tax receipts have picked up a little bit. Even the housing markets of some of the states started to see improvement so there is a pickup in property taxes.
Many local finances, especially school finances, are tied to that property tax. We are not looking at major restorations in some of the budgets cut over the last few years. But it doesn't look like for most places, even states like California, that more budget cuts are on the way.
Rather the discussion in terms of state and local finances is about how much to restore, and is there enough money to start to fix roads and bridges and tunnels and the crumbling infrastructure in many states across the country.
What is important is that while there remains a debate over the federal budget, state and local budgets are experiencing restoration to cuts, and even have some money to set aside to improve infrastructure.
If you look at the public sector, on one hand you have the federal government, which gets all the attention; and on the other hand you have and state and local finance, which gets much less attention and which is almost twice as large as federal finances.
In terms of the public sector there is some limited improvement. We are not back to where we were before, and we may not get back there.
In places like Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and California, we are seeing a restoration of fiscal conditions in these states, based on what is going on in the overall economy.
Duran: What is behind this growth?
Goldstein: What is driving this expansion is that we are finally starting to see consistent gains in job growth, up in the 200,000 plus range each month. That range is likely to continue.
And because we are gaining jobs we also see some improvement in the housing market in many of these places. That combination of what is going on in the labor market and the housing market is in part what is also driving what is going on in finance at the state and local levels.
Duran: What are the challenges?
Goldstein: One of the big questions overall in the country is: at what point is this long enough and strong enough to start to drive up increases in wage growth? We are not there yet, but that is where we are going. The Leading Economic Index is giving us a true signal.
In 2015, we are likely to see a small increase in terms of wage growth, whether that is late winter or sometime in the spring. We will also see business investment begin to increase.
So right now, this remains a consumer driven growth spurt. It will continue through the holiday season, and into the winter. If by late winter we start to get wage growth that will sustain this consumer driven trend.
Duran: Ken, tie this economic outlook to what is happening in the U.S. Southwest's economy.
Goldstein: In the Southwest you have an added factor. This is where a lot of nonenergy mining goes in, especially in terms of metals.
Texas is largely an energy story, despite the drop in the price of fossil fuels. Which comes back to the consumer story, which is not just about job growth. It is also about the fact that gasoline prices are a good 20 cents lower than a month or two ago. Even though wage gains are not picking up, you have a little extra money when you leave the pump. This is not necessarily true when you leave the grocery store.
So, west of Texas, in some parts of the Southwest there is a multiyear drought that has knocked down the agriculture sector. If that drought breaks, it will then add to what is going on in the consumer sector, in the energy sector and the non-energy commodities sector, and continue to give the Southwest overall improvement in the economy, the labor market and the housing market.
The continued improvement in the consumer sector in the Southwest is likely continue into the winter. And the continued gains in the energy sector, despite the drop in the price of crude oil, continues in part due to the exploitation of the new shale oil fields.
What is going on for the overall country will be an improvement in above average growth in the next few quarters. There is a chance the Southwest is likely to outperform the national economy, in terms of its labor and housing markets.
This is due to the different factors I have mentioned, including the improvement in the fiscal health of these states. It won't be enough to restore all of the cuts that were put in place but certainly there will be efforts to restore some of it. We also need to work on the very important question of improving what has been a neglected infrastructure.
We are three weeks from the election and we are not hearing anything about tending to our physical infrastructure around the country. If there is restoration in funding cuts, where will we put the money? Back into education or into our crumbling infrastructure? These are hard questions.
We have a real test here about who can talk about this in an adult way and what type of resolution can we reach.

Picture this: A mobile app that captures your child's moments and helps children around the world
The UN Foundation's Shot@Life Teams Up With The American Academy Of Pediatrics To Launch Mobile App That Allows Parents To Track Children's Milestones While Raising Awareness Of Need For Life-Saving Vaccines For Children Globally
Washington, D.C.
September 24, 2012
Alexis Krieg
A child's life is made up of many firsts – moments like a first smile – that we love to celebrate. However, 1.5 million children around the world die each year from a vaccine-preventable disease and don't celebrate these universal milestones like losing a first tooth or a taking their first step. Shot@Life is the UN Foundation's newest campaign that educates, connects and empowers Americans to champion vaccines as the most cost-effective way to safeguard the lives of children in developing countries against diseases like polio, diarrhea, measles and pneumonia – and give more children a shot at these important firsts.
Today the campaign is promoting a new mobile app that allows parents and followers of the campaign to capture and share the moments of childhood with stylized photos on Facebook, Twitter or through email. Thanks to a partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, the app also includes a Milestone Tracker that outlines developmental and health-related indicators that typically occur in a child's life from ages 0 to 5.
"At the AAP we are excited to be a part of this new app that parents can use to celebrate their children's milestones. It's a great way to document those big moments and make sure kids are developing on track. It's also a great way for parents to support kids in developing countries, for whom every birthday is an achievement," said AAP President Robert Block, MD, FAAP.
The app serves as an innovative tool for the campaign's grassroots movement of parents to continue advocating for social change on digital platforms, while celebrating milestones for children both here in the U.S. and abroad. This tool makes it easy for moms and others to become Shot@Life champions and spread the word about vaccines as one of the most cost-effective ways to save the lives of children in developing countries—all while capturing "aww"-inducing moments with their little ones.
"Our entire campaign is about connecting with moms in the U.S. and showing them that children in developing countries aren't so very different from our own children," says Devi Thomas, director of the Shot@Life campaign. "Through the Shot@Life mobile app, we're giving moms a tool we know they want that allows them to focus on capturing their children's milestones, while also engaging with the issue of global vaccines in a thoughtful way."
For more information about the Shot@Life campaign and mobile app, please visit: www.shotatlife.org/mobile or contact Tina Musoke at 202-496-6386 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the Shot@Life Campaign
Shot@Life educates, connects and empowers Americans to champion vaccines as one of the most cost-effective ways to save the lives of children in developing countries. A national call to action for this global cause, the campaign rallies the American public, members of Congress, and civil society partners around the fact that together, we can save a child's life every 20 seconds by expanding access to vaccines. By encouraging Americans to learn about, advocate for, and donate vaccines, the United Nations Foundation's Shot@Life campaign will decrease vaccine-preventable childhood deaths and give children a shot at a healthy life.

Dalston & Eileen's Solemnisation
It is never easy organising home party which could accommodate all the guests we wish to invite. Not forgetting the food preparation, decorations, chairs and tables and also tidying up of the place after all guests have left. Many of us will rather go for an event planner or location rental which comes with food and decoration.
What seemed to me like a normal home party during the first meetup has transformed into one with a great amount of details within such a short time. I am surprised with the amount of effort put in to make this special day of yours unique.
Thank you for making my Christmas eve unforgettable.

Another happy day
For some whom might have chanced upon this blog earlier on will probably know that i have shifted my focus away from photography for quite a while. Taking a break to see the world from another angle…
I am shifting my focus back to photography, something that i truly enjoyed in my life. Hope i am able to gain enough momentum to return to this industry again….
2015……wish me luck.
Another happy day
It was pretty bad before the start of the photoshoot. There were filming crews occupying the location and the onimous sky threatening to ruin the entire day program.
30 mins after the first raindrops hit us and totally drenched, the sky cleared up. The crew has left and we were there to play….
Thank god, it's another happy day.

BRAZIL: Brazil's oldest and most important historical and scientific museum has been consumed by fire, and much of its archive of 20 million items is believed to have been destroyed.
The fire at Rio de Janeiro's 200-year-old National Museum began after it closed to the public on Sunday and raged into the night. There were no reports of injuries, but the loss to Brazilian science, history and culture was incalculable, two of its vice-directors said.
"It was the biggest natural history museum in Latin America. We have invaluable collections. Collections that are over 100 years old," Cristiana Serejo, one of the museum's vice-directors, told the G1 news site.
Marina Silva, a former environment minister and candidate in October's presidential elections said the fire was like "a lobotomy of the Brazilian memory".
Luiz Duarte, another vice-director, told TV Globo: "It is an unbearable catastrophe. It is 200 years of this country's heritage. It is 200 years of memory. It is 200 years of science. It is 200 years of culture, of education." TV Globo also reported that some firefighters did not have enough water to battle the blaze.
It wasn't immediately clear how the fire began. The museum was part of Rio's Federal University but had fallen into disrepair in recent years. Its impressive collections included items brought to Brazil by Dom Pedro I – the Portuguese prince regent who declared the then-colony's independence from Portugal – Egyptian and Greco-Roman artefacts, "Luzia", a 12,000 year-old skeleton and the oldest in the Americas, fossils, dinosaurs, and a meteorite found in 1784. Some of the archive was stored in another building but much of the collection is believed to have been destroyed.
Brazil's president, Michel Temer, who has presided over cuts to science and education as part of a wider austerity drive, called the losses "incalculable". "Today is a tragic day for the museology of our country," he tweeted. "Two hundred years of work research and knowledge were lost."
Mércio Gomes, an anthropologist and former president of Brazil's indigenous agency, Fundação Nacional do Índio (FUNAI), compared the loss to the burning of the library of Alexandria in 48BC. "We Brazilians only have 500 years of history. Our National Museum was 200 years old, but that's what we had, and what is lost forever," he wrote on Facebook. "We have to reconstruct our National Museum."
Rio's fire chief Colonel Roberto Robaday said the firefighters did not have enough water at first because two hydrants were dry. "The two nearest hydrants had no supplies," he said. Water trucks were brought in and water used from a nearby lake. "This is an old building," he said, "with a lot of flammable material, lots of wood and the documents and the archive itself."
Some Brazilians saw the fire as a metaphor for their country's traumas as it battles terrifying levels of violent crime and the effects of a recession that has left more than 12 million people unemployed.

There was some fanfare in UK boardrooms over the summer when the government announced that FTSE 100 firms had hit the target set for them in February.
Women now hold a quarter of board directorships in FTSE 100 companies. In Europe, at time of writing, it is still unclear whether the European Commission plans to introduce a mandatory gender quota of 40% for every company listed on an EU stock exchange.
However, countries including France, Italy and Norway have already seen the proportion of women directors rise following the introduction of national quotas, while others have them on the way. From next year, German companies will have to fill 30% of their non-executive seats with women, for instance.
Despite this progress, there are still question marks about just how equal women's opportunities are—particularly when it comes to executive leadership roles.
The UK may have reached 25% for women board directors overall, for instance, but that figure disguises the fact that women hold less than 10% of executive directorships. And a paper published by the Centre for Economic Policy Research earlier this year suggests that Norway's boardroom quota had "very little discernible impact on women in business beyond its direct effect on the newly appointed board members".
From gender to diversity
But boards have another question to ask themselves: Is appointing more women doing enough to bring real diversity to their discussions? Chances are they will be asked that question officially, and soon, says executive search consultant Margaret Kett of executive search specialists Tyzack.
She sees the focus moving from gender—which is relatively straightforward to define and thus measure, and which may be one reason why it is a popular benchmark of diversity—to ethnicity, which is considerably more complex.
Companies are not currently doing well on ethnicity—nor on class or education, come to that, says Melanie Eusebe, the founder of the Black British Business Awards and a board member at Shine Media and the Creative Industries Foundation.
"The gender agenda is progressing, although not as quickly as I would like; but in the areas of race, class, background and education [companies] aren't doing well at all," she says.
The reasons why are tied up in money and habit. Overcoming ingrained assumptions about what a director looks like in order to build a diverse boards means changing long-established systems, which takes money.
"And it may not be an organisational priority to change the board composition," says Eusebe, pointing out that the number of women on UK boards only showed real growth when companies were placed under considerable official pressure.
Quotas are not enough
Simply adding more categories to boardroom targets, or quotas, won't necessarily fix things, says Kett. "Boards increasingly have more women and ethnic minority members, yet what if they all think the same way?" she says.
"While the more traditional aspects of diversity will bring depth, there has always been a strong case for teams consisting of individuals who think differently from each other…the highest-performing teams consist of individuals with different styles and ways of thinking."
–Miriam Lahage, Navabi
Miriam Lahage, chief merchant at Navabi and a non-executive director at Simudyne, which is listed in the UK and Luxembourg, shares Kett's view.
"Boards have an awareness of diversity and recognise that it is something that we need to do, but I don't think that we have really embraced it," she says.
"Diversity is not just about gender—it is about diversity of thought." And that can be hard to find in a group of people with similar educational, social and cultural backgrounds, even if the group includes both men and women.
One option here is psychometric profiling, which can be used to assess personality type, rather than relying on markers such as age, gender and ethnicity. This carries the added advantage of being able to spot gaps that might not be addressed through traditional splits of diversity; for instance, it could identify the need for a "digital native" to join the team.
Such tools are increasingly being used at board level, says Tom Marsden, the chief executive of people analytics company Saberr, but not in a particularly focused way.
"It is a 'nice to have' that people do, then ruminate on for a day or two…but I am not sure that it changes anything. We hear a lot about people who are tested but the results are ignored because something else trumps it."
It is also worth noting that challenges concerning diversity aren't simply about the make-up of a board; there are also significant practical challenges in getting a genuinely diverse group to work together effectively.
–Tom Marsden, Saberr
"It can be challenging because [teamwork] is easier if we all…share the same reference points," says Lahage. "There needs to be real recognition that diversity means there will be natural tension within the composition of the board.
"The best approach is when people around the table have a shared vision for the business but enough diversity of thought that they explore multiple possible approaches at every juncture…One needs to recognise that diversity still needs to fit the cultural values of the company, because you need a level of trust to hear each other properly and make good decisions."
Marsden adds: "The highest predictor of positive team dynamics is values alignment. You can have people who think extremely differently, but if their values are aligned they can debate at great length while having constructive disagreement, which is what boards are all about."
Hull Business School's Tom Hoyland, a lecturer in organisational behaviour, agrees. "Having different perspectives is a good thing but it is very difficult to bring those ideas together," he says. "Diversity is something you have to plan for. You need people in a team to understand what their differences are and what they mean…it is about getting a fine balance between trust that allows people to be critical, and relationships that are chummy and clubby."
Carly Chynoweth is Board Agenda's correspondent on board career and diversity issues, and is a regular writer for The Sunday Times on executive appointments.

Always an animal advocate, after visiting Emi, the Sumatran rhino at the Cincinnati Zoo, I was hooked. They're amazing animals, a piece of living history, deserving of a future. As I began to share their plight, I was shocked at how few people knew about the poaching crisis. I created FFR to raise awareness and aid in the conservation of these species. Please help us secure their future.

Gay Wedding Planning Tips
What I Didn't Expect to Learn Planning My Gay Wedding
A wedding is a wedding. The only difference between gay ones and straight ones is what the officiant pronounces you at the end of the ceremony. Right?
OK, so that's like 80 percent true. As my fiancée (now wife) and I learned while planning our wedding alongside our good (and straight) friends marrying the weekend after us, the issues were the same: When are RSVPs due? What can we get for favors? Speakers cost how much? But in a few situations, being gay can tack a few extra items onto your to-do list, or at least some considerations.
I'm going to share a few of the things you don't have to worry about — and, of course, those that you do — as a gay couple planning your big day. Here's how it was both the same as and different than planning a straight one.
What's Different
Finding a venue: After coming this close to putting a deposit down on a place we discovered didn't allow gay weddings at all, my fiancée and I were pretty heartbroken and a bit shell-shocked to boot. So don't get your heart set too soon, and research mindfully — consider finding a local gay-friendly venue database. Nothing beats having an event coordinator who's almost as excited about the Prop 8 ruling as you were.
Picking titles: Mr. and Mr.? Ms. and Mrs.? Who's the bride — anyone? People won't know what to call you unless you tell them, so particularly with photographer contracts and other wedding paperwork, you'll need to at least have agreed upon something for official documentation. Even if you don't feel strongly about it, have an answer ready so you don't leave anyone guessing, feeling awkward, or — worse — offending someone else.
Dealing with drama: Unfortunately, there are still plenty of people against same-sex marriage. Recognize that the topic is sensitive for some, and don't expect it, but at least prepare yourself for negative feedback. It only took one uncle's call about my sinful ways to dampen my excitement and cause a rift among family. Lean on your support group: my fiancée and I had 109 incredibly loving people attend our wedding, and they are all OK with ignoring the naysayers. Allow yourself to be the bigger person, accept others' perceptions of you, and enjoy what you have.
What's Not
Choosing your traditions: Just like your brother and sister-in-law got to walk down the aisle — together — to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," you can do whatever you want for your big day! Have both your dads walk you down the aisle, let Doctor Who inspire your outfits, or even invite your officiant to stand alongside a baby elephant, like my gay acquaintances did for their Thai destination ceremony. It's your day, so plan whatever tickles your fancy.
Applying for a license: In the 13 states where gay marriage is legal, applying for a marriage license is as easy as a Google search and an afternoon appointment. Check your local jurisdiction for more filing rules, but the process is the same for all couples (just remember to have those titles ready!).
Having fun: OK, this one's a given, but nothing about who you choose to love will dictate how awesome planning your big day is. So just sit back, relax, enjoy as many free cake samples as you can, and organize yourself one heck of a dance party.

Why art is quite useless
February 23, 2013
Oscar Wilde closed the 1891 preface to the "Picture of Dorian Grey" with a most enigmatic epigram: "All art is quite useless." All the Greek symbols of aesthetic majesty, all the Renaissance masterpieces that come to our days, the scraps of melodic perfection in Mozart, the lines of utter harmony in Shakespeare, his own fascinating aphorisms inclusively: they hold no function.
Upon learning this, it's merely normal to exert your curiosity and, as Bernulf Clegg did back then, demand some competent explanations.
Dear Wilde never fudged responding to such enquiries with the sort of handwritten letters like the below shown.
My dear Sir
Art is useless because its aim is simply to create a mood. It is not meant to instruct, or to influence action in any way. It is superbly sterile, and the note of its pleasure is sterility. If the contemplation of a work of art is followed by activity of any kind, the work is either of a very second-rate order, or the spectator has failed to realize the complete artistic impression.
A work of art is useless as a flower is useless. A flower blossoms for its own joy. We gain a moment of joy by looking at it. That is all that is to be said about our relations to flowers. Of course man may sell the flower, and so make it useful to him, but this has nothing to do with the flower. It is not part of its essence. It is accidental. It is a misuse. All this is I fear very obscure. But the subject is a long one.
Truly yours,
Oscar Wilde
Has it clarified the concept? Do you adhere to his belief?
I myself find the word "useless" still too powerful to limit genuine art…

(Dr. Jeremy Pridgeon) - The Cabinet of the Alabama-West Florida Conference met in a regularly scheduled session on February 19-20 at the Conference Office in Montgomery. During the two day meeting, Bishop Leeland, the district superintendents, and members of the extended cabinet participated in the Incubator process, reflecting on the mission and ministry of the annual conference, discussing Edwin Friedman's book, Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix, and spending time in prayer for one another and various concerns from across the conference.
Among the many items discussed related to the mission and ministry of the conference, the Cabinet reviewed the new Voluntary Transition Program for clergy approved by the 2012 General Conference, explored ways to increase the partnership in ministry with the outstanding laity of our conference, and identified several "next-steps" in the process to raise awareness around clergy well-being in an effort to try to reduce the stressors of ministry faced by our clergy and their families.
A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to reviewing the preference forms submitted by clergy and Staff (Pastor) / Parish Relations Committees as part of the upcoming appointment process. Superintendents will continue in consultation with Staff (Pastor) / Parish Relations Committees and clergy as needed.
We celebrate the ways that we see God at work in our midst across the Alabama-West Florida Conference. We are grateful for the leadership provided by our clergy and laity in our effort to seek disciples of Jesus Christ. We continue to pray for our churches and clergy and would covet your prayers as we continue in this time of discernment related to the appointment of pastors for 2013-14.
May God continue to guide us as we journey through this holy season of Lent!

There are different seasons where we will experience extremely hot and extremely cold weather. It is always the hot weather that cause people extreme discomfort. Many have installed an air-conditioning system to cool or heat their room at different seasons. Hotels and resorts have also installed air-conditioner so that their guests are able to enjoy a comfortable environment during their stay.
Factors of an Professional Aircon Company
Having an experienced Aircon technicians and Aircon company to clean and maintain your air-conditioner system will ensure that your system are in good hands. By engaging a professional and experienced Aircon company, you can safely hand your units to them and they will take take good care of your air-conditioner system. Before hiring any air-conditioner company, ensure that they offer wide range of aircon services so that they are able to provide you with all the aircon services that you may require in the future. Below are some of the factors that you should look out for an professional aircon company.
Registered Aircon Company
For an Aircon contractor providing reliable and quality aircon services such as installation, aircon chemical wash, all these requires a company to be registered with the local government on offering and providing such services. The Aircon company that you engage should have a valid business license and they should have qualified Aircon technicians providing on those services.
By hiring on registered and reliable Aircon company, you will be relieved as if there are any hint happen, you know exactly which company to seek help and advice. By engaging a unlicensed Aircon company, they may cause more problems to your air-conditioner system and they may be uncontactable anytime.
Reputation & Credibility
Before engaging any aircon company, always do your own research on the company. Some of the good source of reliable information can be from reputable forums, your friends or relatives where you can ask them for their own experience on their aircon services.
This will allow you to have an idea of what you are able to expect from their services. Gather a list of aircon contractor and analyze on them. Hence, choose one of the most reputable and reliable Aircon contractor for your air-conditioner in your home or office.
Cost of Services
Different aircon companies have different cost for their aircon services. Hence, you can research and analyze which company offer you the best value of the service and hire them. Professional aircon company offers quality aircon services at affordable rates. Hence, you can look around and search for reputable and reliable aircon companies such as their aircon maintenance here.
Experienced and Well-trained TechniciansSome of you may think that licensed Aircon company may not be the main reason on deciding if the company is reliable. However, a professional aircon company must have well-trained and experienced aircon technicians performing the repair and maintenance jobs. You need to ensure that the air-conditioner contractor that you engage have the knowledge and tools to carry out repair and servicing works for your air-conditioning system. Other than that, you can check if the company have been established for many years, if it is, you can conclude that the company is experienced.

So, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the process of recognizing computer generated text from an image, typically one that is scanned using document capture software. If you don't know the difference between OCR and Capture, see my other post here: OCR vs. Capture.
Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) is the process of recognizing hand-printed or handwritten information from a scanned document. It utilizes the patterns of the pixels to match to specific written characters. This form of recognition is typically not as accurate as OCR, but there are several ways to make the accuracy acceptable, the main of which is to provide combed fields or spaced boxes to ensure character spacing, or whitespace between symbols.

Happy Easter!
For all you TTCer's out there I hope you are finding yourself and egg whether it be for ovulation or implantation. I am currently hoping my uterus found the egg and is letting is snuggle into the nice thick lining today.
Normally I try very hard not to watch for TWW symptoms but this cycle it seems like the "correct" dosage of trigger shot was felt across my body. While I am telling myself it is just the trigger shot it is hard not to be wishful that they may be the for real "my body is making its own HPT".
Obvious symptoms:
Nipples are more tender than normal. I can normally pull pretty hard on my nipples and yank them around, now it hurts to squeeze them. Hmmm this may sound strange but when I have been TTC this long I have done some pretty strange things to myself.
Also the veins in both breast are (I think) darker and more evident. I even asked my hubby to these look different to you. He said no, and that he was the expert of them and they look normal. So maybe it's just me and the fact my skin is near see through as it hasn't seen the lite of day in forever.
My dreams have been vivid almost every night this week.
I started the progesterone Friday night, four days later than I normally do so that I could check if I if I ovulated. Ii really hadn't missed the progesterone for the last month. Already it is making me nauseous!!! Why of why… my poor body is a roller-coaster of pregnancy symptoms with no pregnancy.
Oh big thing the last few days I have really started to notice how my lack of exercise is affecting my body shape. My "spare tire" is moving south!!!! Danger Danger not good for myself esteem. Though I am not gaining any weigh I think my muscle is turning to fat and that my skin is losing elasticity. Nightmare! But I will be upping my exercise now that it is spring time.
With all that in mind I hope everyone has a lovely day today while I am avoiding the Easter candy! Happy hunting~

Staying in shape is a continual practice, something that should be done weekly, and for some, even daily. To stay in shape and active, your body will reap the short term and long term benefits, but it is something that has to be done consistently. Working out in the gym can be uninspiring and get old after a while. It is good for your body and mind to mix things up a bit. To add some spice to your workout routine, and embrace the beautiful Spring that has just sprung, try these effective outdoor workouts to enjoy nature and keep being in shape fun and interesting.
- Running
It may be obvious to some, but many people run on treadmills instead of trails. If you've never sought out a good outdoor trail, laced up, and enjoyed a long nature jog, I urge you to try it. Running outside can increase your lung function and teach your body how to keep its endurance in different altitudes and weather. Running outdoors on trails can also boost your endorphins and leave you feel inspired and refreshed after a run as opposed to a stationary treadmill.
2. Lunges
Lunges are a great exercise for your quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Doing lunges outdoors gives you much more space to keep going than in a gym. This is one of the most effective bikini-body ready exercise because it targets your legs and glutes but also keeps your cardio up.
3. Stairs
Find some stairs in a city near you and go there early in the morning before anyone else does. Running stairs is a great workout for those who don't have time to do cardio and strength workouts in the same day because stairs increases your endurance while strengthening your legs and glute muscles. Get creative with the stairs by skipping every other one, or by doing lunges and jump squats up them.
4. Find a bench
It's impressive how many variations of workouts you can do on a bench! Head to a park or on a trail and get creative! On a bench you can do single leg squats, upside down pushups, tricep dips side knee ups, and jump squats. This is a perfect way to break up your run and still get some strength training while working on your cardio.
5. Yoga
Whether you find an outdoor class, or simply go it solo, yoga is great practiced outdoors. In a quiet spot and nature, use your yoga mat (or not) and you'll find it is extremely peaceful to practice yoga outside instead of a crowded room. Yoga is great for clearing our minds, remaining grounded and staying in shape, so an outdoor yoga session can be even more enjoyable outdoors.

We all remember that one Christmas where we got the best gift ever! Maybe you were like Ralphie and wanted a "Red Ryder Carbon Action 200-shot Range air rifle," and actually got it. Or maybe you wanted a baby doll that was life-like in every way and got her wrapped pretty in a box on Christmas morning. Whatever it was, I'm sure it's engraved in your mind as the best Christmas ever! Mine has to do with the very title of this blog. Let me give a little back story for you.
Back in 1991, when I was 5 years-old my family went to Disney Land. Mind you that's the year 101 Dalmatians was rereleased into theaters. I'll never forget we had just gotten into the park and we were making our way to some specific place in the park, that part I don't remember the details on, I just remember we weren't stopping anywhere else on the way. That's when I saw it, this huge 101 Dalmatians display in one of the shop windows. My heart fell head-over-heels in love with those spotted creatures. If I would've been a cartoon my eyes would've had spotted hearts popping out of them (see what I did there? ;). I was completely in love and I was not going any further until I had my hands on one of those spotted plush creatures. I bugged my parents until finally my mom's cousin Janet, whom was with us, took me to get a stuffed 101 Dalmatian pup. I took that puppy with me everywhere!
From that point on I only saw black & white spots. Everything I had was black and white. This wasn't just a short fad, for years I was obsessed with the 101 Dalmatians. You guys, I'm talking yearrrrsss. So as you can imagine, my one hearts desire was a real-life Dalmatian pup. I'd been asking my parents for one ever since we'd gotten back from Disney Land. That was the only thing I talked about, and asked Santa for that following Christmas.
Christmas Eve had come and we were having Christmas at my Grandma's house with my aunts and uncles. There was a knock on the door-It was Santa! He had a box wrapped and it was for me! I was so exited and I remember being a bit confused on why I was the only one getting a gift. I remember him telling me he heard I'd been a very good girl and the package was heavy, to be careful with it. We got it carefully set down on the floor and I started unwrapped it. The sweetest puppy I had ever seen popped it's head out of the box and I was completely smitten! I couldn't get that box open fast enough, my heart was so full! I was so excited, I immediately named him Freckles!
This is a picture of pure joy. That moment is forever engraved in my mind and my heart and when I think of my favorite Christmas my heart goes to that night and it's been spotted ever since.
Last Christmas, my 3rd Christmas with One Cute Cowboy, he had another one of those memorable, special gifts. I'm a collector of vintage books, and for years I'd searched for a 1st Edition The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith. Christmas morning Riley eagerly handed me a gift. I opened it and looking up at me was a 1st edition The Hundred and One Dalmatians. My eyes teared up. I knew he understood my heart. It was such a thoughtful gift. I'm so lucky to have this thoughtful, caring man in my life. One that truly understands and hears my heart.
Now I know Christmas isn't about getting gifts-Christmas is about the gift. When God sent the ultimate gift, Jesus Christ, into the world that cold night in a tiny stable. My heart is overwhelmed when the imagery of that night comes to mind. I'm filled with hope and gratitude. For I truly hope every one of you takes time to remember "the reason for the season." For there is so much more to Christmas than pretty packages and fun Christmas carols. A king, the King was born that night to be the Prince of Peace, and to bring hope into the world, and to bring redemption to you and I. O holy night, indeed! Praise be to God!
I hope all of you have had a beautiful Christmas! May peace and hope be with you!

This essay contains a semiotic analysis of the language used on golf course scorecards. Specifically, the tee box nomenclatures stated on the scorecards traditionally designate a location from which women should tee off; however, for men, this designation is determined by ability. Thus, men are offered more semantic choices, while women are instructed to tee off from the same location as junior golfers (the red or forward tees) regardless of their abilities. Further, symbolic decoding of scorecards represents "men's continued attempts to retain power and privilege over women" (Messner, 1988, p. 207) in the sport of golf, while indexical decoding disengages hegemony deeply rooted within the game of golf.The sidebar to the abstract suggests that there are lots of communications studies scholars neglecting their golf to document hegemonic practices. Takes less upper-body strength, too.
