I'm on the search for a new perfect purse. I've been carrying the one I have for over a year now, and it's been wonderful. It's been completely worth the money. But we need a break from each other.
I'm toying with the idea of vintage, but I hesitate for two reasons: 1. I won't likely be able to return it if I don't like it, and 2. The smell. There are no guarantees that smell is going away.
Here's some fun vintage bags from the 70's and 80's that I've found in my search. Can you guess which one's I've gotten really close to buying? (Click on the picture for the link)

The Summit Meadow
The summit has been an open meadow for over 150 years. Clumps of juniper are clues that it was once a pasture for sheep and later for cows. The Hanover Conservancy keeps the meadow open with regular mowing. In recent years, native milkweed has come to dominate the meadow, to the delight of monarch butterflies but not to the grassland birds that might otherwise nest here. Mowing is carefully timed to help restore better habitat for both.
Non-Native Invasive Plants
Unwelcome arrivals in Balch Hill's fields and forests are invasive trees, shrubs, and vines that have escaped from neighboring yards or grown from seeds carried here by birds. Non-native buckthorn, honeysuckle, barberry, bittersweet, and burning bush are the target of a multi-year project by the Hanover Conservancy's Balch Hill Stewardship Committee to restore native vegetation. The Conservancy is working with a licensed professional in compliance with all state regulations. Non-native, invasive plants provide poor food and habitat for birds and other wildlife.
Oriental bittersweet, a non-native vine that smothers other vegetation, is a particularly aggressive newcomer to Balch Hill. Bittersweet arrived courtesy of birds who enjoy its berries. Highway departments once planted the vine on roadsides in an attempt at beautification (along with multiflora rose, autumn olive, and other shrubs that have since shown their nasty side). Some people purchase wreaths and other decorations made of the non-native vine, for its fall display of bright orange-red berries.
You can help keep Bittersweet from spreading. If you can't resist its vibrant fall colors, please dispose of the decorations in bagged trash rather than in a compost pile or in the woods. Best of all, avoid planting the vine. Next time you visit Balch Hill, stop by the kiosk for more information on this and other invasive plants.
What's that spot?
A 2017 grant from the Vermont Center for Ecostudies helped us begin site preparations for a pollinator garden on the summit. Black tarps trapped the sun's heat to kill the existing plants (low food value flowers and grasses) as well as the existing seed bank. In Spring of 2018, we tilled the site, then replaced the tarps for a few more months to make sure our garden could have the best possible start.
Finally, in October 2018, we planted a mix of native, perennial grasses and flowering plants that's been specially formulated for Balch Hill soils. The patch is covered with organic straw so the seeds don't get eaten or blown away before germinating in the spring. The garden will evolve over the next four years into a long-lasting, beautiful food source for our many native pollinators!

Please understand that there is no scientific basis for anything I am about to say. My research did not include compiling my own charts, graphs or government-commissioned surveys. And I do not believe that the fact that there will be no non-white people among the 20 acting nominees, and no women among the writing and directing nominees crossing their fingers when the envelopes are ripped at Sunday's upcoming Oscars is a part of some grand conspiracy.
But I do think it's really, really messed up. Feel free to start writing those angry emails now.
For a post-racial society, we sure are still touchy when the subject of race is even hinted at. And that's because we are totally NOT IN A POST-RACIAL SOCIETY. I think it's supposed to mean that having a biracial president is a signal that everything's OK, and that any suggestion that people are discriminated against, maligned, ignored or even looked at funny because of their race is just absurd. (The people who write racist stuff in various comment sections on the Internet could probably tell you otherwise, but that's another story.)
To even suggest that there's something wrong with all the acting nominees being white, all of the directing and writing nominees, and the subjects of all the nominated movies, male, seems, to some, to be calling for quotas, or special attention, or tokenism. I get that. But that's not what this is.
Watching the nominations live last month and watching the pictures of the nominees tick up behind Chris Pine's pretty head, I started to feel weird, and then antsy, and then literally itchy. Where was actor David Oyelowo, whose performance as Martin Luther King was nominated for a Golden Globe, Screen Actor's Guild Award, Independent Spirit Award and more? How about Gillian Flynn, who adapted her blockbuster novel "Gone Girl" into a shocking screenplay? The Best Picture nomination for "Wild," the powerful story of a woman literally walking away from her troubled past? How about directing nominations for Angelina Jolie for "Unbroken" or for "Selma"'s Ava DuVernay who would have been the first black woman honored in the category?
It sounds counter-intuitive, but I'm about to blow your mind: I think that a field of all-white and mostly male nominees would actually be progressive. And positive. But only if I thought there weren't any other qualified women or non-white people. If you haven't earned it, you shouldn't get it. I had a Facebook friend who, when I posted the day of the nominations, asked "Well, what if those movies just weren't that good?" But there's something to the fact that so many of the people I mentioned were honored by other bodies, their work acclaimed and, in Flynn's case, positively freaked everybody out to the point where there were long, ponderous think pieces about it.
And there were people who said that there couldn't be anything racially hinky going on since Academy president Cheryl Boone Issac is black, but that's silly. She doesn't vote, so that means nothing. Besides, Barack Obama is the president of the United States and some people in the body he presides over keep trying to prove he wasn't born here, so…yeah.
So what do I think happened? Again, there's no science going on here, but my theories are based not only on years of watching the Oscars intensely for professional purposes but a pretty good knowledge of the history of the thing. To quote the theme from "Monk," I may be wrong now, but I don't think so.
Theory #1: A black movie won a bunch of stuff last year, and the voters didn't feel they had to bother again this year. "12 Years A Slave" was a box office and critical success, and took home the awards for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay. It was also super brutal emotionally, based on a true story from our country's painful racial past, where the victims were black and the perpetrators were white. It was rough and sad, and a lot of people learned something. And then, the very next year, comes "Selma," another fact-based movie about America's racial muck-ups, except there was a more triumphant tone here, But I really think that some Oscar voters were like "Oh, Lord, this again?"
Theory #2: You vote for who and what you know. It's common knowledge that the Academy is overwhelmingly male, white and older – the Los Angeles Times wrote last year that the Academy is 93 percent white, 76 percent male with an average age of 63. And while all old white men don't think and look the same, and are, indeed, the same people that voted for "12 Years A Slave," it's not unfair to suggest that they might look at projects, actors and filmmakers that fall outside of those parameters as an other (see Theory #1) And it's not just about race – Ten years ago, Ernest Borgnine admitted to not even watching gay cowboy love story "Brokeback Mountain" because it offended him, which makes you wonder how many other people just rule movies out based on subject matter that doesn't relate to them.
Theory #3: I still think the concept of "women's pictures" exists. And it's messed up.: "Wild" was an amazing, raw piece of filmmaking. It was about a woman, taken from the memoir of a woman, spearheaded by a woman. It's the real-life story of one complicated, in some ways unlikeable person, on a singular journey. This thing seems to be created for Oscar glory: "127 Hours" and "Into The Wild" had similar themes but were about real-life men. "American Sniper" is nominated for basically everything this year, and fits in this category. But I really believe that Oscar voters are more comfortable voting for female-themed movies if they're funny – think "Bridesmaids" or musicals, like "Chicago." The last movie women-themed movie to win an Oscar was "Million-Dollar Baby" 10 years ago, and it's easy to argue that it was based in a male-centric world (boxing) and featured only one significant female cast member (Hilary Swank). "Wild" was worthy. But there weren't any guys in it. I think that's an issue for some people.
You are welcome to disagree with me on this. Ask my Facebook friends – a lot of people do. I wish I didn't think I was right, because I'd like to believe that we're past all this. But I don't. Prove me wrong, Hollywood. Produce more worthwhile movies, period, and more about, starring, produced, written and directed by women and racial minorities. And then watch them and consider them for awards, if you think they're worthy. Not because they're black, or female. But because you really gave them a chance.

Typology of the lessons
Gentle lesson
A lot of time is devoted to paying attention to the body and to breathing (proprioceptions) and to preparation for regaining flexibility and vigour.
The gentle simultation of muscles, joints and of the various organic apparatuses are the principles leading to a gradual exploration of the positions.
Explanation of the practices, at both anatomic-physiological and philosophical-symbolic levels, is detailed and is communicated in precise and simple language.
Intermediate lesson
Preparation and a gradual approach in the exercices are the basic principles.
The next step is to develop new patterns in terms of both movement and postural and a mental hygiene to foster the way of living everyday life.
Advanced lesson
The prerequisite is to have adequate motivation, a good ability to listen and responsibility, as well as the fervent wish to practice a discipline that concerns all the psychological and physical components of the human being.
Lesson with pranayama
Dynamic preparation, static postures of increasing intensity and regulation of the respiratory activity are predominant in the lesson.
The 30 last minutes are dedicated to the study of pranayama, that is to say that using breathing we focus on the nervous system and address the psyche.
Hatha yoga and tradition
This lesson is deeply interwoven with precepts from the point of view of the Yogis, amazing experts of the human being. It requires devotion to the masters and to the teachings, emotional stability and tha ability to turn to contemplation of the deeper self.
La dicitura madras yoga indica una lezione dove si accede alla sala in qualsiasi momento, non per forza all'orario di inizio lezione, e altrettanto si termina liberamente.
L'istruttore non guida in toto la lezione, ma è presente per: indicare ad ogni partecipante una pratica adeguata; apportare le correzioni specifiche e individualizzate; fornire i suggerimenti per progredire nel tempo; facilitare i giusti omenti di dialogo oppure di atmosfera più silenziosa e dedita all'esperienza introspettiva.
Sri Sri Sri Satchidananda Yogi (Swamiji), all'ashram di madras, seguiva gli allievi in questa modalità, permettendo ad ognuno di crescere nei propri tempi e talenti.

By: Ashley Eisenbeiser, MS, CFS, Director, Food and Product Safety Programs, Food Marketing Institute
Traceability is a term that has become a common part of the food industry's vocabulary over the last 15 years. The Bioterrorism Act of 2002 requires food to be able to be traced one forward and one back in the supply chain. Since 2002, there continues to be great interest from both consumers and the food industry in food traceability and the ability to track and access information about a product at any point in the supply chain, from the farm through processing to retail. Consumers want to know more and more about the food they are purchasing and they expect that this information will be provided to them. Grocers are committed to providing more information to their customers.
The Institute of Food Technologist (IFT) has been involved in food traceability for many years and in 2013 launched the Global Food Traceability Center (GFTC). GFTC is the global resource and voice on food traceability. GFTC serves stakeholders from the entire food system, by providing traceability resources through education and training, expertise, and research for industry, academia, government agencies, and consumer groups. The FMI Foundation is a founding sponsor of the GFTC and since its inception, has supported the GFTC to be the thought leader for the food industry on food traceability.
Food traceability is not a goal, but rather a backbone to many goals of the food system and plays a critical role in food safety and protecting our global food supply chain. Beyond food safety, traceability plays a role in achieving food security, sustainability, defense, and protection.
The GFTC has worked on identifying what data is needed to achieve traceability. No matter what the goal is, whether its food security or food defense, there is a common traceability framework that applies to different food sectors. There are points in the supply chain where information will need to be captured to follow the flow of food. These points are known as Critical Tracking Events (CTE). Examples of CTEs include shipping, receiving, processing, etc. At each CTE, there are data, known as Key Data Elements (KDEs) that must be captured in order to track and trace a product throughout the supply chain.
There has been a lot of buzz across the food industry surrounding the topic of blockchain. Although blockchain technology seems promising for advancing food traceability, its application is still in its infancy and we don't know what role it will play in food traceability in the future. However, we do know that the future and success of blockchain and other emerging technologies to enhance traceability will still depend on the collaboration of supply chain partners to adopt harmonized and interoperable systems that allow for the exchange of Key Data Elements at Critical Tracking Events.
No matter what the future of food traceability looks like, grocers need to consider and be prepared for what implications consumer trends and consumer expectations will have on food traceability.

As spring blends into summer, people enjoy returning to active-outdoor mode""from golf courses and soccer fields to yard work.It's also a season for moans and grimaces.
Tossing one spade of mulch the wrong way can produce a lifetime of back pain. Emergency rooms and doctors' offices fill with people of all ages who tried to swing into athletic action too fast or too hard. According to one survey cited recently in The New York Times, sports injuries have become the second-leading cause of visits to doctors' offices, right behind the common cold.

The current yield of the Portfolios may, from time to time, be quoted in reports, literature and advertisements published by the Pool. The current yield, which is also known as the current annualized yield or current seven-day yield, represents the net change, exclusive of capital changes and income other than investment income, in the value of a hypothetical account with a balance of one share (normally $1.00 per share) over a seven-day base period expressed as a percentage of the value of one share at the beginning of the seven-day period. This resulting net change in account value is then annualized by multiplying it by 365 and dividing the result by 7. Past performance is not indicative of future results and yields may vary.
The current annualized yield, sometimes known as the SEC Yield, is computed on the same basis as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission for money market funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and in compliance with Section 2256.016(c) of the Texas Government Code.

Her newest album, Dance of Time features certain guest artists who were integral in Elias early artistic journey in both Brazil and the U.S. and also celebrates 100 years of the Samba. Samba is the most authentic and contagious dance rhythm of Brazil, and there is no better place in the world to capture this music, Elias explains about her decision to record again in Brazil. Dance of Time also represents the spectrum of my career from the very beginning until now. Elias is known for her distinctive and immediately recognizable musical style which blends her Brazilian roots, her sensuous, alluring voice with her impressive instrumental jazz, classical and compositional skills. With 26 albums to date demonstrating her unique gifts as a pianist, singer, composer, arranger, and producer as well as melding her immense talents in jazz, pop, classical and Brazilian music, Eliane Elias is as Jazziz magazine has called her, A citizen of the world and an artist beyond category.

Media Attention and the Political Impacts of Occupy Wall Street
This May Day brought unprecedented numbers of Americans out in the streets to mark international worker's day. But in Pittsburgh, one wouldn't know that a few hundred residents also gathered to protest the corporate behemoths whose buildings dominate the downtown landscape and whose policies have devastated our economy, our local community, and our health. While the local newspaper saw it fit to report on the May Day protests in Madrid, and the broken windows and arrests of activists in other parts of the country, our local event was ignored.

BC tight ends may be turned loose
New coordinator plans bigger role
Kevin Rogers came to Boston College with a long résumé, having had experience in college football and the NFL, his most recent stop being with the Minnesota Vikings.
The new BC offensive coordinator also brought with him an outlook on the offense that moves the tight end up on the food chain.
"It gives you a lot of flexibility,'' said Rogers. "We can do a lot of things. Just look at what the Patriots are doing with theirs, where they are very much in the mix.''
Not that Rogers is suggesting that the tight ends will become main cogs in the scheme. The offense will not revolve around them. Never has, never will.
But make no mistake, when quarterback Chase Rettig gets in trouble against Northwestern in tomorrow's season opener, he will be looking for safety valves in his tight ends.
For 6-foot-6-inch, 251-pound junior Chris Pantale and 6-3, 236-pound senior Lars Anderson, it will be a call they hope to answer immediately.
"I think that's one of the most important things we do,'' said Pantale, who caught 31 passes in 13 games last season, trailing only Bobby Swigert's 39 catches for the Eagles. "We want to be a reliable factor for Chase or any part of the offense. We want always to be able to be counted on and not make mistakes.''
Anderson says he is more of an escape-hatch receiver than Pantale, who also has significant blocking duties.
"I'm like the H-back,'' said Anderson. "I do a lot of check-downs. I've been here for four years now. Being able to be relied upon and being versatile is a good thing.''
At practice this week, BC coach Frank Spaziani said the tight ends, specifically Pantale, could indeed be a major factor in any offensive success.
"This could be a breakout year for him,'' said Spaziani.
In the past, tight ends were factors for BC, but not game changers. The offense has run behind talented backs such as Montel Harris and Andre Williams and a beefy, aggressive line.
Rettig, who is beginning his sophomore year, also has a surprisingly deep group of wide receivers, but as Anderson points out, Rogers brings with him an NFL mentality that utilizes the tight ends more.
"If you looked back to the spring game, the tight ends had a lot of catches,'' said Anderson. "With Coach Rogers coming from the Vikings, tight ends are used a lot.''
Anderson and Pantale have been told by the coaching staff that the more they produce, the more they will be asked to do.
"Which is the way we like it,'' said Pantale.

text: One week of school is over and it has been an interesting week. I thought yall might like to hear about a special education issue from the other side. My school is moving more and more toward team teaching and intermixing Special Education and regular ed students. I am teaching a team taught Algebra 1 class. I have 14 special education students and 16 regular education students in the class. One of the special education students is an Aspergers student. He has a full time parapro that also comes to class each day. So we have 30 students, a regular ed teacher, a Special Education teacher, a parapro, and a student teacher all in one classroom. Its a bit crowded. I havent seen any IEPs but I am assuming the Special Education teacher is taking care of that. We have divided up the duties so I am planning and teaching the lessons while the Special Education teacher walks around the room keeping the students on task and answering questions. We dont differentiate between the Special Education students and the regular ed students so she helps everybody. The parapro sits in the back of the room and takes notes, which she runs off before the class is over so the students who have note-taking issues can have a copy. She also discretely checks on the Aspergers student several times during the class. The Aspergers student is very high functioning ~ even plays on the school football team. The only thing I have noticed out of the ordinary was during the first quiz. My team teacher pointed out that his paper was still blank when most of the other students were finishing. I let the parapro know and she said he was probably reading the first question over and over. So she took the quiz back to the Aspergers room where the student completed it later in the day and brought it back to me the next morning. He made a 100 on the quiz and beamed when I told him what a good job he did. I have received no training on Aspergers and got a one-paragraph description of what Aspergers is and what to expect in an Aspergers student. Luckily, thanks to the CD board, I didnt have much of a learning curve. In fact, the Aspergers teacher I later talked to was surprised at how much I knew about Aspergers. I told him that I happened to know some people who had children with an Aspergers diagnosis so I was fortunate that I had already learned quite a bit about it. It amazes me that while a self-contained Special Education class in Georgia is limited to 10 students (by law), when it comes to a team taught class, the rules fly out the window. How am I supposed to meet the needs of 14 Special Education students at the same time I have to deal with 16 other kids? Thirty is a lot of students to begin with for a ninth grade algebra class, never mind half of the students having special needs. So I will do my best and I am fortunate to be working with a wonderful Special Education teacher and parapro. The kids are great and I think it will be a rewarding year but have to admit to a little trepidation. ~Kathy

Pass the crowns. Here comes a new generation of royals!
This year proved a busy one for royal families!
From Queen Elizabeth welcoming her first great-grandchild in England to the royal family of Monaco planning for a wedding and a baby, little bundles of regal joy are popping up all over the place.
The latest news comes from Sweden, where newly-married Princess Madeleine and her American-British banker husband (who declined a title) Christopher O'Neill are expecting their first child. "Chris and I are thrilled to let you know that we are expecting a baby for early March next year. We feel so blessed and can't wait to become parents!" Madeleine wrote on her Facebook page. "Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments! We are so touched by everyone who has wished us well and are extremely happy to have such fortunate news to share."
This future Prince or Princess of Sweden joins these other wee ones as the newest members of Europe's royal families:
Princess Madeleine of Sweden, , married American-British banker Christopher O'Neill, 39, in June. The couple announced on Tuesday that they're expecting their first royal baby in March of next year. If our math is right, does that mean they conceived on their honeymoon?
Princess Madeleine's sister Princess Victoria gave birth to second-in-line Princess Estelle last year Looks like Estelle's going to have a cousin soon!
Of course, we all know the details surrounding the newest addition to the Windsor family George was born back in July and was swiftly whisked away to Grandma and Grandpa Middleton's home in the country. Just this week, Prince William announced that he is leaving military service to devote more time to charities (and presumably his growing family).
Prince George isn't the only new British royal born this year Last month Lord Frederick Windsor (a distant relative of William's—the Queen is a cousin of Lord Frederick's father, if you can follow that) and wife Sophie Winkleman welcomed daughter Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina to the family. Little Maud is 42nd in line to ascend the throne if you're keeping up.
The next member of the British royal family is due in January Zara Phillips and husband Mike Tindall, who wed in 2011, are expecting their first child next year. Here, Zara dresses her bump in a figure-flattering trapeze dress, nude pumps and fascinator a la cousin-in-law Kate.
Granddaughter of the late Princess Grace of Monaco, Charlotte is engaged to Moroccan-born French comedian Gad Elmaleh The royal couple plans to wed before Christmas, but that's not the only good news—they're also expecting a child!

We just wrapped up Tayson's first season of "First Touch" soccer. It was a blast!! Justin and I coached the team, and I think we had more fun than Tayson. Our team consited of 10, 3 year olds. We had 3 girls and 7 boys. They all seemed to love it and we had a great season!
The name of our team was the "Land O'Frost Lizards". We started practicing in August and practiced once or twice a week, and typically had one or two games a week. I am proud to say, we finished the season UNDEFEATED!! (not that it really matters at this age, but I thought it was neat anyways!)
Coaching and watching three years olds play soccer is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Some of them "understand" what is going on, while others...NOT SO MUCH! Tayson kind of went back and forth between the understanding, and NOT SO MUCH. Some practices and games he was really into it, and then like a light switch, it would change.
After our last game, we had a soccer party at Guido's Pizza in Springdale. Justin and I had trophies made for all of the players and I think they loved them. They were all so excited to have a trophey with their name and number on it.
All in all, we had a great season and can't wait until Spring!

How cool! And y'all were the coaches? NEAT!
Hayden did 'First Touch' soccer in Fayetteville. They didn't have competitions between teams. It was just practice with a scrimmage at the end.
We went on Mondays and Saturdays. It was fun.
Hayden did well during warm up and doing the drills, but scrimmaging was not his thing. He could care less about the game and making a goal.
But he did look super cute in his outfit!!!
Plus, he really liked his coach. He was this college-age cool-looking kid named Max.
I think we will sign him up again for the Spring.
P.S. Hayden has playdates with Elizabeth Masterson (who is in Tayson's class). She mentioned Tayson yesterday. She told me he wasn't in class Tuesday. I thought it was cute. I told her that I know his mommy. I think she thought I was a little cooky!

Hans Keilson began writing Der Tod des Widersachers (English version: The Death of the Adversary) in 1942, while active in the Dutch anti-Nazi resistance. Keilson had fled Germany already in 1936 since as a Jew he was forbidden to practice medicine. The manuscript for Der Tod des Widersachers was buried in Amsterdam as the deportation of Jews accelerated, and was not published until 1957. The book received little notice in Germany; an English translation appeared in 1962 and did briefly receive some attention. Keilson remained popular in the Netherlands - both for his poetry and his psychoanalytic work with children, but faded into obscurity elsewhere. Now, suddenly, we are seeing a Hans Keilson rennaissance thanks to the New York Times, which has declared Keilson to be one of the great literary geniuses of the 20th century.
Der Tod des Widersachers is an extended meditation on the etiology of hate and the symbiotic relationship between the persercutor and the persecuted. The book is about Hitler and Holocaust, but neither Hitler nor the Jews are ever mentioned by name. Hitler is "der Widersacher" or "der Feind" (Enemy) or simply "B.". The anonymous narrator first learns about his adversary as a 10 year-old boy when he overhears his parents talking about him in the kitchen.
"Wenn B. je an die Macht kommt, dann gnade uns Gott! Dann werden wir noch etwas erleben."
Meine Mutter erwiderte ruhiger:"Wer weiss, vielleicht kommt es auch anders. Ein so grosser Herr ist er doch noch nicht."
("If B. ever takes over then God help us!. Then we're done for." My mother replied calmly: "Who knows, mayber it will never come. He's not such a big shot yet.")
Soon the boy begins to feel the presence of the adversary in his own life as his classmates begin to shun him or try to injure him in soccer. He breaks up with his best friend after his friend expresses his admiration for B. Even a normal relationship with a girl becomes impossible when it turns out her brother is a thuggish follower of the adversary. The narrator is haunted by the adversary, who becomes the focal point of his life - or rather his hatred of the adversary gives mearning to his own life.

Hiking simply makes Mountain TravelingMom happy. Prior to having children, she somehow managed to find time to take a couple of vigorous hikes each week, even summiting a couple of Fourteeners, mountain peaks with elevations of 14,000 feet or higher. As her children are getting older, ages five and nine now, she is working towards her goal of cultivating family hiking buddies. Why? Hiking is proven to make us healthier and boost our mood. So how to get kids hiking? Read on!
There is no better way to slow down, enjoy nature and de-stress than to take a family hike amidst nature. And, there is no better time than the present to get your kids hiking. But those first hikes with your kids can be challenging. Mountain TravelingMom shares tips to introduce your kids to hiking and make it fun. She also has tips on gear to ensure a successful family hiking excursion.
Why get kids hiking?
Traveling Mom uses affiliate links that may pay us if you purchase through them. Thanks for your support.
Hiking has a long laundry list of health benefits — from lowering blood pressure, to building strength and bone density. Hiking helps us sleep better. Recent studies also show that hiking has mental health benefits. Being in nature lowers stress levels, boosts our mood and makes us happier. Time spent in nature also boosts attention spans and creative problem-solving skills.
When I am feeling stressed or having difficulty working through a problem, the first thing I will do is head out the door for a walk, run or hike and it always works. I return either with the problem solved or having put the situation into perspective. Some of my most creative ideas have developed while out in nature when I've taken a break from the computer and screen.
Why wouldn't it be any different for our kids? While they are young is the best time to introduce them to an activity that has so many benefits, but it can be frustrating if you aren't prepared or don't have reasonable expectations.
So, how to start hiking as a family?
1. Start hiking as a family early.
There is no such thing as hiking too early. A child of any age can enjoy being out in nature. The earlier you start getting your kids hiking, the easier it will be as they grow up. Even a short walk along a bike path or down to wade in a stream can count as a hike when they are young. Just get them outside and moving!
2. Locate kid-friendly hiking trails.
When your kids are young, find flat trails that have interesting areas along the way. When my kids were very young, I located a trail near my home that was flat and about a half mile in had a nice shaded area by a stream perfect for picnics. I would carry our baby in a hiking carrier and our preschooler could trek along at her own pace smelling the flowers along the way. We'd end with a picnic by the river.
As they got older it became a bit harder to keep their interest. Finding a trail with waterfalls and caves, like Rifle Falls State Park in Colorado, then became key.
3. Have reasonable expectations for family hikes.
This continues to be the most challenging for me. While your goal (and mine) may be to summit the top of a mountain to take in the spectacular vista, what motivates kids may be and should be completely different. They may want to pick raspberries along the way, splash in the water or explore caves. Don't plan on a fast pace on your first hikes and let your kids just enjoy themselves. If you succeed at instilling a love of hiking then the challenges of summiting mountains can come later.
4. Have fun!
This may seem like an easy one, and it will be if you can follow the previous three steps. Pack a picnic with a special treat. Come up with a game of spotting different animals, animal tracks or even animal scat. Count butterflies. Pick berries. Skip stones. Explore caves. Just have fun and enjoy your time as a family taking in our natural environment.
How to be prepared for family hiking.
In addition to the tips above, there are a few items that can make or break the success of a family hike. So be prepared.
Bring lots of water and food hiking.
We like to have everyone bring their own Camelbak hydration system backpack with a full bladder of water. They come in both adult and kids sizes. Having the water so accessible encourages our kids to stay hydrated. They can drink it along the way without having to stop to ask for or pull a bottle out of a pack. Drinking water is also one of the best ways to prevent altitude sickness if you are gaining in altitude. We also pack lots of snacks and a picnic lunch. There is no such thing as bringing too much water or food on a hike.
Wear or bring sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen.
Protecting your skin and eyes from the sun is so important, especially at altitude. You want to stay comfortable and avoid a surprise sunburn.
Wear quality hiking socks and shoes.
Breathable, no-chafe hiking socks like Smartwool are great for longer hikes. Shoes could be tennis shoes or a more durable pair of hiking boots depending on where and how long you are hiking. But you want to be comfortable and able to manage any rocky terrain without getting blisters.
Wear and bring layers hiking.
My favorite hiking pants are ones that have legs that zip off to convert to shorts. Bring a fleece and light rain jacket that you can pack in your backpack. Chances are that you will encounter different temperatures along the way, and different weather can roll in quickly. One of the first Colorado hikes I went on began as a sunny fall day then turned into a snowstorm on our way back to the trailhead.
For more tip on packing for your hike read World TravelingMom's 7 Tips for Hiking in the Desert.
The payoff of becoming a hiking family.
Don't miss the opportunity the summer to get your entire family outside and hiking through green fields, across sparkling streams, through canyons and up to waterfalls. At the end of the day, you will all sleep better and be healthier and happier. There's not a better gift you could give your children than a love of hiking.

What is Rejuvapen Micro-needling?
Micro-needling is collagen induction therapy. Micro-needling has become a popular anti-aging procedure for the "rich and famous". You might have heard of "Vampire Facial", this is similar to that procedure. Rejuvapen has tiny needles that create micro channels/injuries to the skin.to stimulate collagen and elastin formation, the building blocks of skin tissue.
Micro-needling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Micro-needling combined with PRP as a facial rejuvenation treatment can literally take years off the appearance of you skin! By injecting Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP through micro-needling to the dermal layer of your skin, the repair process that is started by the micro wounds area dramatically enhanced by the growth factors in PRP.
The micro incisions created during micro needling will close approximately in 3-5 minutes after treatment with very minimal superficial bleeding. That means there is no scarring and minimal downtime.
Benefits of Micro-needling with PRP
>Improves fine lines and wrinkles
>Reduces appearance of pores, firms and smoothen skin texture
>Helps heal acne scars and traumatic scars such as post surgery lacerations, chicken pox scars as well as burn wound scars
>Brings back glow for younger, fresher looking skin
>Helps reduce appearance of stretch marks and helps tone lax skin
>Helps reduce epidermal pigmentation and hair loss
What to expect:
After treatment your skin will show signs of redness and will have a similar appearance to a sunburn. There could also be some very mild swelling. These symptoms will subside within 24-48 hrs. By day 3, the skin will have a pink appearance and there will be very little sign that the treatment was done. During the first 3 days your skin will feel tight and very dry and a bit more sensitive. It is recommended that sunblock, at least 30 SPF should be used that first week. This is to avoid micro pigmentation. It is important to keep skin moisturized and protected, and to continue proper skin care regimen following the treatment.
Does it hurt?
Just 30 minutes before the treatment, a topical anesthetic cream will be applied to the area. The anesthetic cream will numb the area and will make the procedure almost painless. You may feel some sensitivity, particularly around the eye area. Some say the treatment feels like your skin is being rubbed with sand paper, others say it feels like an electric toothbrush being moved across your skin.
How many treatments will I require?
It will depend on the severity of the problem or condition of area treated. For best results, we recommend follow up and repeat treatment within 4-6 weeks if needed. Some may need a series of 3-5 treatments depending on your personalized treatment plan. You will already see improvement after the 1st treatment and will continue to see improvement months after micro-needling.
Can I do Micro-needling with PRP after fillers, peels, Fraxel or Botox?
No, not immediately. It is recommended you wait about 28 days (4 weeks) before
you can have your Rejuvapen treatment.
How about make up?
You can return to your regular make up routine in 2-3 days at which point your skin will appear almost normal. You may restart your regular skin care products and Retin A once your skin is no longer irritated. It is very important to stress that you use sunscreen for at least 7 days after treatment. There is a slight risk of hyperpigmentation if one does NOT use sun protection after treatment.Encouraging you to use sun protection also protects your skin from any on going photo damage. Just because it isn't sunny outside does not mean there area no damaging UV rays!

Crimson is proof of reincarnation so says famed prog-rock mastermind
Dr. Winston OBoogie. Well, no matter what god you pray to, at
least now you can shelve all your earlier CD reissues of In
The Court Of The Crimson King - An Observation By King Crimson because
this is the one to get. Sometime around 2004, the actual multitrack
tapes of Court were found and now this 2009, 40th anniversary
remix / upgrade of Court by Robert Fripp and Porcupine
Tree founder Steven Wilson is really something! Rock history
101 will tell you, of course Fripp went on to lead numerous King Crimson
franchises if you like (no pun intended) but lets face it kids,
the greatest thing old Bob did when he formed the original King Crimson
was put together of band of musicians who, each great in their own
right, went on to become pioneering prog-rock musicians after recording
this album. I mean how serendipitous was it having Greg Lake as
the groups leading singer and mellotron / flute icon Ian
McDonald writing and singing too? To say nothing of the brilliant
drumming of Michael Giles. Yes, its just too historic
and will no doubt be canonized, eulogized and glorified by generations
of music students and fans in years to come as being one of the most
important rock albums ever made. It certainly was in my top 10 of
1969! Funny how Chris Squire and Jon Andersons YES also made
their debut album also in 1969 yet it was Fripp, Lake, McDonald &
Giles who made the biggest waves with the first King Crimson album.
Following the meteoric rise of King Crimson, Lake exited quickly,
following McDonalds departure and thus was born the short lived
McDonald & Giles and of course rock legend ELP with Lake rocking
on in style with Keith Emerson just after King Crimson I. We were
somber reptiles at the time, though now with 2020 (or maybe...2010?)
hindsight its a real hoot to review the 2009, 40th anniversary
edition double CD/DVD set of Court featuring an amazing multitrack
remix of the original album that clearly
head and shoulders above earlier CD reissues of The Court,
of which there are many. Hogwash you say? Well, if my memory serves
me well, the first CD reissue of In The Court Of The Crimson King,
released on EG by good old Marty Scott of JEM Records (where are you
now?) back around 1987, delineated the album as one of the most densely
recorded and mixed prog-rock albums ever made. Yet with this 2009
remix, Fripp and Wilson kind of opens up the album mix and my God,
it nearly breathes!
Commenting in the illuminating and most excellent detailed booklet,
with 2009 liner notes from Fripp and July 2009 liner notes by Sid
Smith, Fripps remix cohort Steve Wilson adds, We
were able to go into the music in a way that no-ones been into
it before. Just amazing, thats all I can say. I swear
I hear the King himself stirring within his jewel box, which is lavishly
done up here in a fine looking 40th packa CD and DVD situated
facing each other in plastic jewel sides housed within an attractive
slip-on case, three times displaying that great Barry Godber
painting that will live forever. Not intended Im sure, but that
front cover painting is really what King Crimson is all aboutthe
heightened suspense filled chords, shapes of things that took you
to musical destinations that were only dreamed about when the Shadows
hit number one with Apache in 1960! With the first half
of the package featuring the complete album remixed from the original
multitrack master tapes and bonus tracks consisting of full versions,
instrumentals, alternate mixes and even a weird CD closing experimental
track that borders on future Frippertronica called Wind Sessions,
the DVD half of this package features a 5.1 mix and the two different
(2004 and 2009) album mixes including the bonus cuts. There's also
a brief B&W video clip of the first Crimson lineup performing
at the Brian Jones memorial concert in Hyde Park in July 1969. With
mellotrons ruling the day, I'm sure Brian, the Stones' ousted mellotron
guru, was beaming down from heaven. King Crimson fans can also pick
up on similar double CD/DVD remix / remaster reissue sets on DGM /
Inner Knot of the trendsetting
1971 King
Crimson album Lizard as well as the equally classic
1974 Crimson
Red redux. It would be easy to go into depth and detail
on the significance of both Lizard and Red, except long
story shortboth are essential classics and have long been
definitive progressive rock classics in the spirit of the 69
debut. Long live King Crimson. www.King-Crimson.com

Even though I'm only five days into my summer weight loss journey, I feel like there's so much I could talk about. So in order to keep this post focused, let's just discuss food for today.
Cutting out junk food really feels like a cleanse. Of course I've been drinking more water, snacking on fruit, and eating smaller portions, but what has been so significant is making the distinction between wanting to stuff my face and actually being hungry. I had become so used to regularly allowing myself things like pizza, burgers and ice cream, so now it feels kind of weird restricting those foods again. But it's a good weird. It feels good to make healthy choices at restaurants and pack myself a healthy lunch to take to work. And It gives me a reason to come up with and try new recipes.
Since I remembered having Continue reading
