In Elder L. Whitney Clayton's talk "That Your Burdens May Be Light" he said:
It dawned on me that if Adam's curse was really a blessing, that the land was "cursed" for his benefit so that he could learn the lessons that could only be learned by working by "the sweat of his face", then perhaps the same thing was true for Eve. Perhaps what has so commonly been interpreted as Eve's "curse", bringing forth children in pain and being ruled over by her husband, were instead blessings from God that were intended to help her learn the lessons she needed in order to return to the presence of God.
... Burdens provide opportunities to practice virtues that contribute to eventual perfection. They invite us to yield "to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and [put] off the natural man and [become] a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and [become] as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon [us], even as a child doth submit to his father." ... Adam was told, "Cursed shall be the ground for thy sake," which meant for his benefit, and "by the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." Work is a continual burden, but it is also a continual blessing "for [our] sake," for it teaches lessons we can learn only "by the sweat of [our] face."
Initially I had a hard time believing this; how could a loving God purposely send his daughters out into the mortal world with a "blessing" that would only result in them being hurt, controlled and demeaned by men? Yet as I read the scriptures closer I found that the only things that were cursed by God were the serpent and the ground. God tells Eve
"... I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." (Genesis 3:16)There is absolutely no mention of a curse or even of a punishment. In fact, when I began to break down what God told Eve I saw that it was truly a great blessing, intended to liberate and empower His daughters. He is telling her that:
- She will have many children
- She will feel great sorrow and pain (but conversely also great joy)
- She will desire to work in a partnership with her husband
- With her husband she will rule after the manner of the Holy Priesthood.
I think it worth while to take a closer look at what God was telling Eve. By breaking the scripture down into its individual parts one can get a better understanding of the great blessings God has designed for His daughters.
"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception..."
Sometimes understanding the Hebrew roots and meanings of words illuminates scriptures. This is one case where understanding the Hebrew words completely changes the interpretation of the scripture.
The Hebrew word for "multiply" is rabah (raw-bah), meaning to repeat over and over. It does not suggest greater sorrow, but rather repeated sorrow. The Hebrew word for "sorrow" in the Geneiss account (Genesis 3:16( is from atsab (aw-tsab), which means "labor" or "pain". While these words sugges that toil and suffering would be a part of Eve's life, Eve did not view the conditions that came upon her through the Fall to be a curse (see Moses 5:11). Moses 4:22 is a great revelation to women. Eve and her daughters can become co-creators with God by preparing bodies for his spirit children to occupy on earth and later in eteriny. Mothering would entail inconvenience, suffering, travail, and sorrow; these the Lord foretold as natural consequence and not as a curse." (Rasmussen, Latter-day Saint Commentary, 17)God is just describing to Eve how her mortal condition is going to be on earth, that she will increase in size (pregnancy), that she will bear children and that she will do it multiple times. She must have been grateful later on that God gave her some heads up as to what would happen to her body. Imagine how scared she must have been the first time she got pregnant! She would have had no idea what was happening to her or what she could expect. Here God is explaining to her what will happen to her and what she has to gain from it.
We also have to remember that Eve wanted to have children, that is why she partook of the forbidden fruit. In the Garden of Eden God had commanded her and Adam to "multiply and replenish the earth" but because they had not fallen and were not mortal they were unable to fulfill God's commandment. Eve understood that by partaking of the fruit she would "fall" from the presence of God, but that in doing so she would become more like God because she would gain the ability to bear children and to comprehend good from evil. One can only imagine that she must have interpreted God's decree that she would bear children, many children, as a great blessing.
"... in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children..."
The "sorrow" here is the same "sorrow" that God pronounces upon Adam when he says, "In sorrow shalt thou eat of it [the ground] all the days of thy life." The Hebrew meaning of this word is also "travail or pain". God is telling Adam that it will take great work and pain to bring forth food from the earth, just as he is telling Eve that it is going to take great work and pain to bring forth children from her body. He's not giving them unequal responsibilities, both Adam and Eve's mortal responsibilities involve hard work and pain. What he pronounces upon one, he also pronounces upon the other.
Even the fact that having children would bring her pain must have seemed like a blessing to Eve because it meant that now she and Adam were able to feel sorrow, and if they could feel sorrow then they would also be able to feel joy. She accepted this and in Moses 5:11-12 we read that she blessed the name of God and said
"... Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient"(Moses 5:11)The sorrow and pain of bringing forth children was no punishment for Eve because she understood that it was only by partaking of the bitter that she would be able to comprehend the sweet.
Childbirth isn't easy, just as raising food from the earth isn't easy. Yet just as a farmer feels great satisfaction, joy and rest at the end of his harvest, so does a woman after giving birth. Most women who have given birth will tell you that in the joy of holding their new child all the pain and sorrow of prengnacy and labor melted away. I believe that God designed both tasks, childbirth and raising food, to be hard so that men and women would be able to find transforming strength and power to face the challenges they would face during their mortal journey.
"... thy desire shall be to thy husband"
Eve knew that she was about to leave the safety and innocence of the Garden and enter into a fallen, corrupt and mortal world-- where she would be expected to bring forth and raise all the children of the earth. How scared and overwhelmed she must have been by this huge responsibility!
God promises Eve that she will not have to shoulder the enormous responsibility and burden of bringing children into this world by herself. Before she left the Garden God promised Eve that her "desire would be to her husband". This desire isn't just sexual desire, but it means she would desire to be with Adam and to work with him towards their joint goal of becoming like God. They would undertake their mortal journey together as partners. This is the first time that God lays out the foundation for all family relationships. His design for the family was that both men and women should desire to work together as partners and that together they would rule together over the stewardships that God gave them. He knew what challenges and trials Eve would be facing as she brought children into this world and so He organized the family structure to help protect and take care of His beloved daughter and her children.
When organized after the pattern God created, with a man and woman working together as equal partners, the family structure does not entrap or enslave women, rather it protects them, frees them, and ennobles them.
"... and he shall rule over thee."
Once again this is an instance where understanding the Hebrew terms change the whole meaning of the scripture, because "rule over" can also be translated as "rule with". In her book "Women in Eternity, Women of Zion" Valerie Hudson Cassler says:
We are convinced the "rule over" is an unfortunate translation... the Hebrew term rendered here as "rule over" can also mean "rule with". In fact, we understand that when the Hebrew word "msh'l" (usually translated as "rule") is used in conjunction with "bet" (in most cases translated as "with", "in", "by" or "at") the better translation is "rule with" rather than "rule over" (pg. 92).Also the "rule" used in these scriptures is referring to ruling according to the Holy Priesthood of God, which we read in D&C 121: 36, 41-44 "cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness." These principles of righteousness are:
"... persuasion.. long suffering... gentleness and meekness...love unfeigned...kindness... pure knowledge... without hypocrisy... without guile... reproving betimes with sharpness, when moved upon by the Holy Ghost; and then showing forth afterwards an increase of love..." (D&C 121:41-44)Even if God was telling Eve that her husband would rule over her, being ruled over by someone who followed all these principles of righteousness wouldn't be all that bad. But if God is telling Eve that she will rule with her husband then it becomes her responsibility to treat all the stewardship God has given her-- the earth, the animals, her children and her body-- with love, respect and wisdom.
I don't believe that God ever intended for men to rule over women. It is just the corruption of our fallen world that has perverted His words and used them to justify inequality and control of women throughout history. I beleive that from the very begining God intended men and women to be joint stewards of God's creations and to work together as equal partners. He laid the foundations of family life, gave them a road map towards happiness, and endowed them with individual abilities and talents that would help them achive their common goal... becoming like God.
God never cursed Eve, He blessed her.

At the Country Living Fair last weekend {more on that soon} I spotted an exhibitor selling french wine jugs in their original crates. Such a cool look! Of course I could think of dozens of ways to decorate with them...but being low on floor space and appalled by the $125+ price tag, I sadly walked away.
And I haven't stopped thinking about that find since...
A simple look to add life {through a dead branch...the irony} to a boring corner. Wouldn't this just be so precious with a couple of ornaments and small lights for Christmas?
Even sitting in its original crate container or transferred to a different style basket- this just looks awesome!
A slightly smaller version filled with water and {temporarily} living branch truly brings the beauty of the outdoors in.
Well my calendar is marked for Scott's Antique Market in hopes that my jug and I are reunited.

Invokana Demonstrates Cardiovascular Benefit for Type-2 Diabetes Patients
A new analysis from the CANVAS program has shown that canagliflozin (Invokana, Janssen) demonstrated a reduced risk of cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with and without a history of CV disease. The drug also achieved similar and proportional risk reductions for hospitalization due to heart failure (HHF) and renal outcomes in each of the primary and secondary prevention groups. The late-breaking results were presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2017 in Anaheim, California, and simultaneously published in Circulation.
This analysis of CANVAS examined two high-CV-risk type-2 diabetes patient groups: those with a history of CV disease (secondary prevention) and those with only risk factors for CV disease (primary prevention). In this analysis, both patient groups showed CV outcomes consistent with the overall reduction seen in CV events: primary (hazard ratio [HR], 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74–1.30) and secondary (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.72–0.95), with no statistical evidence of between-group heterogeneity (P = 0.18). Comparable effects were also observed for other CV and renal outcomes across the primary and secondary prevention groups.
As previously reported, in the total cohort of the CANVAS program, canagliflozin reduced the combined risk of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), and nonfatal stroke by 14%, compared to placebo (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.75–0.97; P = 0.0158).
The new analysis also found:
Patients with prior CV events had an overall greater primary endpoint event rate compared to those who had two or more CV risk factors (36.9 versus 15.7/1,000 patient-years; P < 0.001). Canagliflozin lowered the risk of HHF in both patient groups: primary (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.35–1.15) with interaction P = 0.91 and secondary (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.51–0.90). The drug also achieved a reduction in the risk of the composite renal endpoint in both patient groups: primary (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.39–1.02) and secondary (HR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.44–0.79) with interaction P = 0.73.
The overall adverse event profile for canagliflozin compared with placebo was consistent in the primary and secondary prevention participants (P interactions all > 0.07)
No new adverse events were observed during this additional analysis beyond what was previously reported from the CANVAS program.
The primary prevention cohort was comprised of patients 50 years of age or older with at least two risk factors for CV events; the secondary prevention cohort was comprised of individuals 30 years of age or older with a prior CV event. Primary prevention participants (N = 3,486; 34%) were younger (63 versus 64 years), more often female (45% versus 31%), and had longer duration of diabetes (14 versus 13 years) compared to secondary prevention participants (N = 6,656; 66%).

The big boys did the business at the weekend against some no marks from up north so this time it was the turn of the baby Gooners to produce something against a stiffer opposition. The average age of the line up I believe was 19 and no kids had created such a stir since The Osmonds, Michael Jackson and the geezer who sung the song from 'The Snowman'. Fortunately our kids were famous for actually doing something good and worthwhile. MJ ruined things with his crap.
We lined up with Lukasz 'Skywalker' Fabianski in goals with Djourou and Alex Song the central defensive pairing for the night and alongside them was Gibbs on the left with Gav Hoyte on the right. The midfield lined up a little something like this, Wilshere the boy wonder, Merida the other lad we nicked from Barca, Ramsey the Welsh Dragon and Randall the erm guy who needs a nickname. Up front we had Carlos Vela and Big Jay Simpson.
It was a tasty little encounter a bit like a cheesy chip after a night out but more satisfying and delightful. From the word go…or the ref's whistle it was attack, attack, attack.
We had two great chances in the one move when Vela used his pace, which he has by the shit load! He then latched onto a pass, tried to take it round the keeper but was a bit too fancy and Kirkland saved it. The save ended up at Vela's feet again and teed up Jay Simpson who took one touch and smashed it. Unfortunately it bounced off the bar.
Great flowing football was being played live, as usual, at The Grove. The baby Gooners have style!
Wigan had some good chances come their way as well with Lukasz Skywalker making a few good saves, minus his flap at the corner obviously.
Our next chance came when Wilshere danced round the full Wigan team, their bench, backroom staff and their fans and won us a free kick. The free kick was to be taken by Ramsey and after his glory goal in Turkey a little bit of expectancy crept into the air…well mines anyhow I told me brother I thought he'd rattle it in. And rattle it in he almost did, his thunderous shot was matched by a tremendous save by Kirkland who was keeping Wigan in the game.
On the subject of Kirkland remember when he was the next best thing? Remember when his Grandad won a few £k after he played for England? Well now remember Wallace and Gromit? Doesn't Chris look like Wallace with a wig on?
Wigan's attacks were mainly coming via The Riddler. After seeing this jokers excuse for a beard I'm convinced he is a bird but still (s)he played not too badly.
Just before half time the baby Gooners broke the dead lock. Jack Wilshere picked the ball up just outside the centre circle and delivered a pin point pass to the feet of Jay Simpson. Big Jay kept his composure and his cool, using his pace he squeezed Mario Melchiot out the way and poked the ball past the Wigan 'keeper into the back of the net. Wondrous.
Onto the second half and a fairly quiet opening until Wigan should have got a penalty. The ref said no much to the relief of the fans and most of all Djourou.
Both Merida and Gibbs had great opportunities to put the game to bed. Merida's finely struck ball was stopped by Kirkland. Ramsey pulled out his f**k Robinho book and treated us all to some silky step overs before passing out left to Gibbs. Gibbs smashed the ball which was once again saved by Hairy Gromit or Wallace. Great efforts.
With the two up front playing so well more goals were only a matter of time away and then it came with some fantastic work by Vela and Ramsey. Vela's pace left his marker for dead. Literally dead, funerals Tuesday week. Anyhow Vela pulled it back and left Simpson with a chance he couldn't miss. He didn't miss and we went 2-0 up. Oh that defender didn't actually die - that's a disclaimer incase I get sued.
Like buses goals come in two's sometimes and number three came 4 minutes after Simpson's brace. Djourou placed a perfectly weighted pass into the feet of El Huracán who then cheekily lofted the ball over the on coming defender and Hairy Wallace. Like a Fox's biscuit it was a classic! Technically brilliant, great composure, excellent reading of the game and pace for days - give the lad a few starts Arsene!
With 15 minutes left Simpson and Wilshere left the field of play both contenders for MOTM to be replaced by Lansbury and Bischoff.
After his first goal Vela was grinning like a Cheshire cat after a shag with a big dirty spliff in his mouth. He almost got a second after a nice over head ball came in but his touch let him down. El Fantástico then had to go off after calling to the bench he couldn't continue, let's be hoping it's nothing too serious. As we was trotting off a Mexican wave was being sent round The Grove giving the kid the reception he deserved.
With the game all but over Lukasz Skywalker, who was solid all night, decided he was bored and pulled off a stunning double save for the sake of it. The initial shot from De Ridder was palmed away and fell into the path of Amr Zaki. Zaki who is supposed to be beating away offers from Real Madrid and Liverpool took his shot but Young Lukasz thought 'naaaah mate'. Fabianski stopped the shot and pushed the ball away, it smacked off the bar which I think just added to the fab effects of the fab save from The Fab. Fabulous.
Game over, great performance by the kids. A Championship team and now a premiership team has now folded to the total football out kids play, world domination is next! And as a certain Mr Feargal Sharkey once said 'Teenage kicks so hard to beat…' Wigan found that out tonight.

Fiberstore is a leading supplier of optical network products, including compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the broadband and fiber optics market. Fiberstore aims at developing the best technologically feasible and economically available optical components. In order to meet the rapid growth of internet traffic and the proliferation of video services, Fiberstore has launched DWDM C-band Tunable XFP transceiver which features with tunable and multi-protocol functions for wavelength switching solution. (Fiberstore News)
Wavelength tunable optical transceivers are becoming important as components that enable ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) functionality in next-generation networks. These transceivers have the characteristic that their wavelengths can be switched between different DWDM channels while in use in the network.
Tunable transceivers are only available in DWDM form because the CWDM grid is too wide. Typically these tunable optics are for the C-Band 50GHz. Around 88 different channels can be set with intervals of 0.4nm, which is the 50GHz band. These optics usually start from channel 16 up to 61 but this depends on the manufacturer of the Router/Switch and which channels it supports. Because tunable transceivers employ a special tunable laser (such as SG-DBR laser), they are between two and four times more expensive than the fixed tuned DWDM transceivers.
Using tunable transceivers can significantly reduce the number of the required hardware ports over an architecture with fixed tuned transceivers, even with a static traffic requirement. Channel switching capability has resulted in a reduction in the number of components and cost in today's DWDM systems. Large 300pin (MSA standard optical module that uses a 300 pin electrical connector) transponder modules are currently used as the main full band tunable source in such systems. More compact optical transceivers are needed though to make these DWDM systems smaller and more compact in the future. As the cost and capabilities of optical hardware improve, the ability to trade-off additional complexity in optical hardware for a significant reduction in electronic hardware may become extremely beneficial.
Tunable transceivers are typically used as "spare-optics", in case of emergency, because you can tune them to the right channel and reduce the amount of spare optics you need to hold in stock.
Fiberstore's tunable 10 Gbps multi-protocol optical XFP transceiver is the integrated fiber optic transceiver that provides a high-speed serial link at signaling rates from 9.95 Gbps to 11.35 Gbps. The module complies with the 10 Gigabit small form factor pluggable (XFP) multisource agreement (MSA). It is designed to be compliant with the ITU-T G.698.1 S-D100S1-2D standard for SONET/SDH, IEEE DWDM 10GBASE-ZR for 80km reaches (Ethernet), and DWDM 10GFC for 80km reaches (Fibre Channel) applications. This module offers the wavelength switching capability and small size that will make it a desirable choice to replace the 300 pin transponders used in many networks. In those networks where fixed DWDM channel XFP transceivers are currently used, changing them to the tunable XFP offers the potential for large inventory stock reduction since all wavelengths can now be covered with one transceiver module.

Vintage china
I did go op shopping yesterday but was too tired to write about it yesterday. Suffice to say most of my purchases were for the little ones I mind. I have not taken any pics but over the last few weeks I have bought some pretty vintage china from the op shops.
The design on this little plate would make a beautiful embroidery. The plate is from Cornwall in the UK.
This tiny dish featuring pansies is quite old I think and is from Staffordshire in the UK.
Again a lovely design for satin stitch.
Finally this gorgeous fan shaped dish is from Japan although I have no idea about it at all. The stamp on the back is in Japanese.
The peacock looks so elegant.
It really is amazing that people dispose of such pretty pieces. Surely family members or friends would appreciate such treasures.

L.O.L.: Lack of Love - Original Japan Release (2000)
L.O.L.: Lack of Love is the last in a trio of games developed by Love-de-Lic. It was directed by Kenichi Nishi and produced by Hiroshi Suzuki. The game was designed by Keita Eto and Yoshiro Kimura, the latter of whom had already left Love-de-Lic and began working on other projects with his company Punchline. The musical score for L.O.L.: Lack of Love was created by film composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was also the game's scenario writer. Nishi and Sakamoto met at Club Eden via a mutual friend and, through a series of e-mails, began discussing James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis. This theory states that the earth's living organisms function in harmony and respond to ecological changes in order for the planet to sustain life. "We should care for other people, life, the environment and nature," Nishi explained about the game's message. "Sakamoto came up with the title. We wanted to question the way in which our lifestyle lacks love." - Wikipedia
Please note although the CD is in mint condition and un-opened, this is not a new release but backstock.

Region: Stellenbosch
2015 – 95P Christian Eedes; 96P Jamie Goode; 95+P Greg Sherwood
Tasting notes: ( Caroline )
Vibrant bouquet, clean and fresh. On palate, the flavour surges forth like a high-powered wave, then reins in to a focussed mouthful of pure fruit, crystalline and bright. Its provenance of a vineyard close to the sea is very evident in its cool profile. A beautiful wine with great class. It will benefit from two+ years' ageing.

Connecticut Magazine calls us "The Amazon of the Jewish Gift Basket world"

Have you seen this coverage in Connecticut Magazine? We love how the author thinks of Challah Connection! Click below to read the whole article. Enjoy!
Challah Connection has been shipping kosher gift baskets since 2002. In that time, we have learned what people want in a kosher gift basket. Simply put, they want delicious, edible tradition. Jewish baked goods such as challah, babka, rugelach, rainbow cookies and black and whites are the core of our most popular kosher baskets. Whether for Jewish holidays, birthday, shiva, college care package or other occasions, kosher bakery favorites resonate deeply with recipients. We have found that whether or not the recipient keeps kosher, most Jewish people—and non-Jews as well–love these kosher bakery favorites. Other Jewish favorites such as lox and bagels and kosher deli are also treasured.
Many of the bakery favorites were brought to America by immigrants from Eastern Europe at the turn of the 20th century and have tremendous nostalgia value for many Jews. They have become traditional favorites by many who "grew up" with them and now want to share them with their own children. Here are some quotes from our customers when they were asked to share thoughts and feelings about babka (the loaf shaped coffee cake-like dessert shown above, that is one of our best sellers):
-"Babka represents family and holidays"
-"Kosher baked goods are so important"
-"My grandmother, from Germany, would make the best babka, and every time I eat it I think of her"
"I remember my grandma rolling out the dough on the kitchen table, and the smells that went thru the house"
-"Babka=Jewish. It symbolizes Bubbee and is a good Jewish staple that most people love.
Through these quotes you can see the deep connection people have with Jewish foods—foods with rich traditions that are included in our kosher gift baskets. A kosher gift basket will bring your Jewish friend or family member a deeper connection to your gift and therefore greater appreciation for your generosity.
With the school year winding down and hot weather rolling in, it seems that everyone is gearing up for summer. The kids won't be home for long though, as before it you'll be helping them pack for summer camp. Whether it is their first or fifth summer away from home, being away from mom and dad for an extended period of time is never easy. Here at Challah Connection we want to make this transition a little smoother, which is why we are introducing Camp Care Packages. We offer a large variety of products, which are sure to fulfill the desires of each and every camper!
Who doesn't love cookies? Nights spent out in the woods can be rough, but make them a little sweeter with our Assorted Cookie Tin. Each tin is complete with six scrumptious flavors including Chocolate Chunk, Double Chocolate Chunk, Ginger Molasses, M&M, Macadamia White Chunk, Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter with Reese's Chips, Pecan Chocolate Chunk, Gourmet Sugar Cookies.
Maybe what they're really craving after days of camp food is a classic kosher meal. The Jewish Deli Gift Crate includes many of the Jewish deli classics packed securely into a wooden keepsake crate. Included are: 2 pounds of Hebrew National salami, 8 authentic, Lower East Side Black and White cookies, Eli's European Rye Bread, 2 cans of Dr. Brown's soda and much more!
Who doesn't love babka and challah? Put a smile on your campers face with the Kosher Bakery Classics Care Package. This package includes: fresh baked challah, fresh baked babka, assorted rugelach, and black and white cookies. These goodies will definitely last them a while; that is of course if their friends don't see what mom and dad sent them!

Way back during our dating days, in addition to how many kids we wanted to have, where to live and more, my husband and I discussed–and agreed–that we wanted our kids to go to camp. We both had had life changing experiences there. I learned lots about strength and resilience at my Canadian swimming camp where the motto was "we don't sew beads on belts." Josh made friends that are still an important part of his life.
In 2000, Sam, our first son, went off to camp, leading his two brothers, who followed shortly after. There is no doubt that after over 20 collective years of camp, all three boys love it deeply and have taken the essence of it into their everyday lives. Sam, almost 21, just started his third year on staff. Harry, 19, is leaving soon for a 6 week cross country camping trip. My "little" 15 year old, Mike, just started his eighth and last summer there. Lessons like "help the other fellow" and others that are gleaned from 17 day canoeing trips in Canada have shaped them in so many ways. Our camp, Keewaydin, is all about fun, adventures and challenges through rugged trips and outdoor living. It is truly a remarkable place.
This article, "A Lost World of Family Time," written by Michael Thompson, author of "Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys," really brings to life the spirit of camp that Josh and I were looking for when envisioning the lives of our future children.
Please share with us your thoughts and experiences about camp by posting on our blog. I know everyone in the Challah Connection Community will find them interesting.
Ugh! There are lots of household tasks that do not make my list of "Top 10 Things To Do." Right up top is cleaning the house. Followed closely by planning dinner EVERY day for my family. (I don't mind the cooking part, it's the "What's for dinner?" question running through my head that puts me on edge.)
Right behind those two is PACKING – for a vacation, a business trip, or worse, CAMP. How am I – a total organizational control-freak – supposed to pack everything my kid could possibly need over the next month? Shorts, t-shirts, underwear, swimsuits – no problem. Sunscreen? How many bottles? Bug spray? Is it buggy in Maine? How would I know? A nice outfit? And the ever-plaguing question – which shoes should we pack? How many pairs? How much money is going to be spent when they all come back trashed and I have to go buy all new shoes and clothes in August? And HOW am I going to get it all washed, dried, folded, labeled, and packed into two duffle bags, BY SATURDAY MORNING???
Okay – deep breath. For starters, I find that it is more fun to think about what I am going to send my kid while she's AT camp – cute note cards, care packages, small snack items, things to make her smile (but not homesick). Of course, the first place I "shop" is on our own Challah Connection website. I've already put aside the Camp Bunk Box of Questions.
Surely a bag of black and white cookies and rugelach will be making its way to Maine this summer. And as for other fun things, I always "shop" our DIY (Do-It-Yourself Basket) department.
How about some fun ways to communicate with my kid? I remember a few special ways my mom used to write to me at camp. There was the balloon letter – she would blow it up at home, write her letter on it in permanent marker, deflate it, and stick it in an envelope. I had to blow it up to read it. There was also the circular letter – she would start writing at the outside of the page and then keep turning the paper so the words made a huge maze-like circle (kind of like those huge twisted lollipops on a stick). Those are the two I remember most clearly (and it feels like it was a VERY LONG TIME AGO).
Do you have any good tips for how to communicate with kids at camp, or great camp care package ideas? I'd love to hear them!

FORT MYERS, Fla. � It took half a season for Junichi Tazawa to think much about opposing hitters last year, let alone a return to the major leagues. He was thinking too much about his elbow.
FORT MYERS, Fla. - It took half a season for Junichi Tazawa to
think much about opposing hitters last year, let alone a return to
the major leagues. He was thinking too much about his elbow.
He's now ready to start thinking about a major-league roster
"His command is impeccable already," Red Sox manager Bobby
Valentine said last week. "It's very early to be hitting the spots
like he is. It's good that he's doing it. We'll see if he can
maintain it. But he's healthy and he looks very determined."
The 25-year-old Tazawa underwent Tommy John surgery almost two
years ago to replace the ulnar collateral ligament in his right
elbow, a procedure that cost him the entire 2010 season. A few
bumps in the road, punctuated by a debut at Double-A Portland in
which he failed to get out of the first inning, accompanied his
return to the mound in 2011.
His arm, one might say, was in his head.
"Last year, when I was with the Double-A team up in Portland,
right around the All-Star break, that was a period when I still
felt elbow tightness, was still worried about my elbow," he said
through team interpreter Jeff Cutler. "The battle was between me
and my elbow and not between me and the batter at that point. Right
around after the All-Star break, I was able to focus more on my
pitching, focus more on the battle between me and the batter, and
that's when I started to feel that I'm heading in the right
From July 14 onward, Tazawa - no longer thinking about his elbow
with every pitch - began to shred the minor leagues. He had a 1.56
ERA with 19 strikeouts and three walks in his final 17 1/3 innings
pitched with Portland. He then had a 2.51 ERA with 19 strikeouts
and three walks in 14 1/3 innings following a promotion to Triple-A
Pawtucket in early August, including a stretch of 10 2/3 straight
scoreless innings immediately upon his arrival.
"Not to knock the kid, but he was a little tentative coming
back," PawSox pitching coach Rich Sauveur said. "When he got to
(Pawtucket), he just said, 'You know what? I'm one step away from
getting back to where I want to be, and I need to step it up a
little bit.' He pitched very well. There was no hiccup whatsoever
with us. He went right at hitters. He was aggressive. He had no
issues whatsoever."
If Tazawa can pitch this spring like he did in the second half
of last season, a spot in an unsettled Red Sox bullpen might be
"He was very good, very crisp," Sauveur said after one of
Tazawa's early bullpen sessions. "His ability - there's just
something about him. He's just so crisp in everything that he does.
He's very fluid. He looks like he hasn't missed a step."
A winter's worth of work went into that.
A year ago, still rehabilitating his elbow, Tazawa spent the
entire offseason at the Red Sox facility in Fort Myers. He spent
almost all of this past winter back home in Japan, his longest stay
at home in two years. He used the time to catch up with his family
as well as an old friend, Takashi Saito.
Tazawa first met the Saito when Tazawa was 19 years old and
still pitching in Japan's Industrial League. The two would later
share a clubhouse in spring training and in the latter half of the
season in 2009, the first year Tazawa spent in the United States
and the only season Saito spent with the Red Sox.
They spent quite a bit of time together in Japan this winter,
working out and, of course, talking pitching.
Saito, who is 42, suffered a sprain of his ulnar collateral
ligament in 2008 but recovered without Tommy John surgery thanks to
a platelet-rich plasma injection as well as a disciplined rehab
plan. His message to Tazawa was simple: Don't take the rehab
"We did speak in detail about pitching, but his greatest advice
was that, as I'm still recovering from my surgery, I need to fully
regain my form," Tazawa said. "From there, I can focus more on
Another thing Saito made sure to emphasize to Tazawa was the
difficulty of going back and forth between starting and relieving,
something Saito had to do in Japan before pitching in relief
full-time in the United States.
"Because of his young age and the fact that he was injured, he
doesn't have much experience," Saito said. "We talked a little
about the importance of conditioning and flexibility. He's not sure
if he's going to be a reliever or a starter, so we talked about
being ready for either role. It's pretty difficult to be mentally
prepared to handle either role."
What Saito has seen from the younger Tazawa has impressed
"He's not a tall pitcher, but he has a good fastball and he has
good rhythm," Saito said. "It's not that he has one overpowering
pitch, but he has the ability to get hitters out at the
major-league level."
That's what the Red Sox are hoping, too.
"He's still young, but he's got a lot of talent," Sauveur said.
"He's got the ability to pitch in the big leagues and stay there a
long time."

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine, or NALT, is a supplement that's commonly used by people with ADHD.
People with ADHD are naturally drawn to stimulating supplements like NALT for obvious reasons.
But, NALT is a unique supplement, because many people report feeling smooth energy, stress relief, happiness, and motivation after using NALT.
In other words, many people agree that NALT can work well when it comes to helping you think, focus, and perform better.
So, this article dives into everything that you need to know about…
- What NALT is
- The potential benefits of using NALT when you have ADHD
- The benefits of using NALT when you're experiencing a "comedown" or "crash" from Vyvanse or Adderall
- The best sources of NALT
- How much NALT should you take?
- The potential risks of using NALT
Ready? Let's get started…
What is N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (NALT)?
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine is a derivative of L-tyrosine, which is an amino acid that helps your body produce neurotransmitters like:
- Dopamine
- Serotonin
- Adrenaline
NALT is a special form of tyrosine, because NALT has undergone acetylation.
This means that NALT is easier for your body to absorb compared to plain tyrosine.
NALT is significantly more water soluble than standard tyrosine.
Most people agree that NALT is more effective and useful than regular tyrosine.
What NALT can potentially do for people with ADHD (the possible benefits)
People with ADHD lack dopamine. This is a normal characteristic of having ADHD.
By taking NALT, there's a chance that you can help your ADHD brain produce the dopamine that it needs.
Of course, if you already use ADHD medication to treat your ADHD symptoms, then you probably won't need any more dopamine.
But, for people who don't use ADHD medication, you could have some success with supplementing with NALT.
You might experience short-term cognitive benefits such as:
- Improved focus
- Better mood
- More motivation
Everyone responds differently to supplements.
So, if you're interested in trying NALT, then you'll likely need to find out for yourself how your brain responds to NALT.
Can you use NALT with ADHD medications like Vyvanse or Adderall?
First of all, it's worth noting that you should always consult with a doctor before taking any supplements in combination with ADHD medication.
But, I will admit that NALT is popular in the ADHD community because many people supplement with NALT in the evening, when their ADHD medication is starting to wear off.
This makes sense, because if you're experiencing a Vyvanse crash, then your brain is likely being depleted of dopamine (while Vyvanse is leaving your system).
So, supplementing with NALT in the evening is one way to ease your mind while your ADHD medication is wearing off.
The best sources of NALT
Interested in trying NALT for yourself?
Well, these are the best sources of NALT that I could find…
1. BulkSupplements Pure N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (NALT) Powder
BulkSupplements Pure N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (NALT) Powder (Amazon) is a pure, powdered form of NALT.
The main benefit of consuming NALT in powder form is that you can mix this type of NALT with juice, and simply chug it down.
NALT is water soluble. So, you can drink some NALT before exercising, studying, running errands, or doing anything else that requires you to focus.
Plus, BulkSupplements is a trustworthy brand that provides lab-tested NALT.
You can take 400mg of this powdered NALT daily, before your meal. 400mg is about the same as 1/8th of a teaspoon.
If you decide to use this powdered NALT, then you might want to invest in an inexpensive measuring spoon set (Amazon) if you don't have one already. Taking accurate doses of NALT will help you determine exactly how much NALT works best for your brain and body.
Pro tip: Some people actually "microdose" NALT by taking ~150 mg of NALT in the morning, followed by ~75 mg of NALT in the evening. If you're sensitive to stimulants, then you might want to start with a low "microdose" of NALT too.
2. Jarrow Formulas N-Acetyl Tyrosine
Jarrow Formulas N-Acetyl Tyrosine (Amazon) is a great NALT supplement to take if you prefer swallowing capsules rather than guzzling down a powdery beverage.
I've always trusted Jarrow Formulas. They're an awesome company, and I trust that their NALT is high-quality.
But, here's the main benefit of supplementing with NALT from Jarrow Formulas:
This product actually contains vitamin B6 in addition to N-Acetyl Tyrosine.
Vitamin B6 is involved in amino acid metabolism. So, vitamin B6 can help your body absorb NALT.
The Jarrow Formulas brand of N-Acetyl Tyrosine ultimately provides you with a beneficial pair of ingredients that can improve your mood, focus, energy level, and more.
3. Source Naturals N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine
Source Naturals N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (Amazon) is a quality source of NALT that comes in the form of tablets (rather than the powder or capsules listed above).
The major difference with this NALT supplement is that it contains folate (vitamin B9) in addition to NALT and vitamin B6.
Folate is provided (along with vitamin B6) to assist in the process of converting L-tyrosine to key biological compounds like:
- Dopamine
- Epinephrine
- L-dopa
- CoQ10
- Thyroid hormones
- Melanin
I like Source Naturals' products, and can vouch that this is a premium NALT supplement that's worth trying.
How much NALT should you take?
Here's a quick breakdown of how much NALT you should take, depending on which NALT product you invest in…
> BulkSupplements Pure NALT recommends taking 400mg of NALT per serving (1/8 teaspoon of pure powder)
> Jarrow Formulas NALT recommends taking 350mg of NALT per serving (one capsule)
> Source Naturals NALT recommends taking 300mg of NALT per serving (one tablet)
So, supplementing with 300mg to 400mg of NALT is an appropriate dose for most people.
But, keep in mind that everyone is different. Some people respond best to smaller-sized doses (microdoses) of NALT.
Other people prefer larger-sized "megadoses" of NALT, in the realm of 1000mg or more (especially before exercising).
The key is to experiment with small doses of NALT at first, and then work your way up to determine the precise dose of NALT that works best for your system.
This is actually the reason why I prefer the pure powder variety of NALT. When you consume powdered NALT, you're free to experiment with different dose sizes, and determine exactly how much NALT you need.
What are the risks of using NALT?
NALT is a relatively safe non-essential amino acid.
From Dictionary.com:
Nonessential amino acid – An amino acid that can be made by humans and so is not essential to the human diet. There are 11 nonessential amino acids: alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine.
The only real issue with NALT is that you can develop a tolerance for NALT quite easily. This means that it's best to take breaks from supplementing with NALT for at least a few days out of the week.
It's common for people to supplement with NALT during the work week (for increased work performance), and then take a break from using NALT over the weekend. You could refer to this as running a cycle of "5 days on, two days off."
It's also important to keep in mind that tyrosine may interact with MAOIs (according to Examine.com). So if you're taking an MAOI, please talk with your doctor before using NALT.
And, here's a quick tip for taking NALT:
To improve the effectiveness of NALT, it's best to take NALT on a completely empty stomach. If you take NALT with a meal, you might not feel it work. It's for this reason that many people use NALT first thing in the morning, or late in the evening.
Final thoughts
Overall, there unfortunately isn't a whole lot of scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (NALT) at this time.
But, many people with ADHD swear that NALT helps with focus, mood, energy, and motivation.
So, with the extremely affordable price tag of most NALT supplements, I think it's worth a shot at experimenting with NALT.
At worst, you might end up with a slight improvement in your mood, and a little bit of extra energy.
At best, you could feel significantly more motivated to accomplish your work, socialize with people, exercise, and perform better at whatever you need to do!
NALT is one of those dietary supplements where there's plenty of positive first-hand reports without much scientific backing to support those claims.
So, please proceed with caution, while staying open to the chance that NALT could work very well for you. You never know what could happen.

Man, ComicsAlliance reminded me of this thing too.
So, as a kid, I read this entire gigantic collection of old Sci-Fi my dad had gathered from 1950-1980 or so. I started off by picking books based on what cover art looked coolest. Sometimes, it was difficult to pick between the sweet robots and space battles.
Other times, this happened:
I'm not entirely certain what the process for picking cover art is, really. I mean, obviously it's not as though the author actually lays it out. I presume some publishing-house PR lackey picks a theme, contacts an artist…
But holy SHIT do they have some weird ideas about what will appeal to science fiction fans. I mean, that book up there? It's a short story collection. The anthology name is taken from one story about an adorable grandma-bot.
At no point do any recursive muscle-men centaur appear.
Guess what this book is about:
It's about a planet where everyone who has ever lived is sent mysteriously and revived along the shores of a massive river. It's actually pretty good! It stars Mark Twain and a Sir Francis Burton and it has fights and steamboats. It's a great, weird, fun adventure story. At not a single point does a massive naked man get poked in the kidneys by Professor Two-Coats.
This one basically gets it spot on, though:
So! Intrigued by these truly atrocious examples of marketing gone really, really poorly? Go check out the Terrible Book Covers site at goodshowsir.co.uk! I mean, you can tell it's class just from the name.

British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) have announced a partnership with genetic DNA profiling organisation, MUHDO.
The partnership is set to initially run until the end of the current academic year.
Under the terms of the agreement, MUHDO will have a presence at all BUCS competitions, including the Nationals.
These are set to take place from February 16 to 18 in Sheffield, with athletes taking part in eight sports.
It is expected that more than 5,000 competitors from 160 institutions will take place at the event.
BUCS ssaid that MUHDO will also support the event by attempting to engage students with the idea of providing educational opportunities which offer ways to help them lead healthier lifestyles.
"We are extremely excited to be partnering with BUCS," said Nathan Berkley, MUHDO's health chief executive.
"Our collective future will be shaped by the university and college graduates of today.
"MUHDO can help power this next generation, by teaching and developing healthy habits that will benefit them for a lifetime.
"MUHDO will be supporting BUCS with a sponsorship package that includes headline partnerships at BUCS cross-country, the BUCS Rugby Sevens Championship and trophy events alongside BUCS Nationals, the UK's largest annual multi-sport event.
"MUHDO will also be attending several other events to run activations and to engage with students and spectators."
BUCS say their aim is to create "the best university sport experience in the world", which ranges from encouraging students to develop a "fit for life" mentality, as well as allowing elite athletes to go on to represent their country on the world stage.
The organisation claim MUHDO support their efforts by analysing DNA using advanced nutrigenetics, to gain insight into unique gene functions.
The study then helps provide individuals with a truly personalised health and fitness plan tailored to their goals.
"MUHDO and BUCS have the shared aspiration of changing society for the better," said Vince Mayne, BUCS chief executive.
"Students are the future leaders of our society and we hope working with MUHDO will mobilise those students to establish positive and active lifestyles which is at the core of what BUCS does.
"We are particularly looking forward to seeing them at the forefront of key events such as BUCS Nationals."

The Mirror Number of people claiming benefits because of obesity DOUBLES and costs taxpayer £54m-a-year
Number of people claiming benefits because of obesity DOUBLES and costs taxpayer £54m-a-year.
Britain's obesity crisis is costing the taxpayer £54million a year in benefit payouts, the Sunday People can reveal.
New figures obtained by the Sunday People show welfare payments for claimants with obesity-related illnesses have doubled in five years,.
Almost 12,000 people last year received Disability Living Allowance because they have metabolic disease – the medical term for a combination of obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure.
That's twice as many as five years ago, when just over 5,500 people with the condition got the allowance.
Yesterday Tam Fry, spokesman for the National Obesity Forum, said: "Successive governments have made life too easy for too many obese people.
"If the obese have a legitimate cause for their fatness – and there may be medical or genetic reasons – benefits should not be denied to them.
"But getting long-term benefits simply for over-eating is an insult to society."
While a handful of DLA claimants have jobs, the vast majority are unemployed. Recipients can receive up to £138 a week.
Andy Silvester, from the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: "It's crucial that every one of these claims is investigated to ensure it's necessary."
Nearly one in five British secondary school pupils and a quarter of adults are obese, costing the NHS about £9billion a year.
Health experts predict that by 2050 the figure will have risen to £50billion a year, with almost 66% of the population obese.
Julia Manning, from the think tank 2020health, said: "This obesity crisis in the West is a far worse health catastrophe than Ebola but there has been no government urgent action, even though we see the benefits bill spiralling."
But Jill Tipping of the obesity support charity HOOP UK said: "Obese people have an addiction to food. It's an illness."
A Department for Work and Pensions spokeswoman said: "Just having a metabolic disease in itself is unlikely to qualify for DLA. But they could qualify if they have a physical or mental disability caused or made worse by it."

Review: Surrender - Elana Johnson
Author: Elana Johnson
Rating: 4/5
Get it on Amazon!
Find it on Goodreads!
Forbidden love, intoxicating power, and the terror of control…
Raine has always been a good girl. She lives by the rules in Freedom. After all, they are her father's rules: He's the Director. It's because of him that Raine is willing to use her talent—a power so dangerous, no one else is allowed to know about it. Not even her roommate, Vi.
All of that changes when Raine falls for Gunner. Raine's got every reason in the world to stay away from Gunn, but she just can't. Especially when she discovers his connection to Vi's boyfriend, Zenn. Raine has never known anyone as heavily brainwashed as Vi. Raine's father expects her to spy on Vi and report back to him. But Raine is beginning to wonder what Vi knows that her father is so anxious to keep hidden, and what might happen if she helps Vi remember it. She's even starting to suspect Vi's secrets might involve Freedom's newest prisoner, the rebel Jag Barque....
I previously reviewed Possession (#1) - Elana Johnson with gushy-gushiness. So I was looking forward to the same wonderful writing, characters, and excitement as the first book. I was also hoping to find out what happened with Vi and Jag, but not looking forward to trying to choose between Jag and Zenn.
Well, the good news is--Elana didn't disappoint. (Of course!) The same captivating writing was as-present in book two as book one.
Book two introduces some new characters and re-introduces some old ones, and goes into more elaboration about the world Ms. Johnson created. It's an amazing world, and she describes it flawlessly; so realistically you feel like you're in it. The way she builds suspense just turns the author in me green with jealousy, and the reader in me frantic to keep going. Incredible.
I know the book is about Raine and Gunner, but for me, maybe because of the attachment I formed to them in book one, it was all about Zenn-Vi-Jag and their ever-present love triangle.
I felt every ounce of love Zenn felt for his dear Vi, so much so it made my heart ache and I hated myself for wanting Vi to pick Jag. I felt Jag's cavalier strength, full of admiration for him. I felt Vi's confusion and overwhelming emotions like they were my own. And they were side characters. But when they were on the page, electricity just seemed to fly. When they were all reunited, I almost felt my Kindle buzzing in my hands. The emotions built up between them was absolutely tangible.
Starting with book one and solidified by book two, I've decided Jag is the perfect hero, and Vi is the perfect heroine. It seems like a lot of the books I read who have reviews citing the girl as being "strong," are really just, well, you know the word. Not someone I'd want to have over to hang out. But Vi? I wanted to hang out with Vi. I wanted to be friends with Vi. I wanted to know her and see what made her tick. She was strong, resilient, and just fun. And Jag... well... who doesn't want a romantic mischief at their side?
Ugh, I can't wait the next three? Four? months until the last book. I hope it centers back on Vi. I bet it will center around all four of the mains--Vi, Raine, Jag, and Gunn. And the last page of the book? Talk about cliffhanger! Argh!!!
In summation: Read it. Definitely read it.
My one wince-inducing complaint about book one was about Vi's daddy. He used to break the rules and hug her and in her memories seemed like such a wonderful, devoted father, but turned out to be super-incredibly-evil. My favorite moment in book two that didn't center around Zenn-Vi-Jag was the big revelation about him. That her father has been on their side all along. He really was trying to save them. He really is working to help the resistance and overthrow the government. I was so happy, I was sighing. In book one you're really led to think he's a great guy, even when he's doing horribly evil things, so to find out in book two that he really is a great guy just felt... fulfilling. Maybe because I'm a daddy's girl, but I always want father's to be ridiculously devoted to their kids. It felt like things came full circle when her dad revealed the truth. I just hope that in book three, Vi gets to find out.
Crimeny, Batman! Can we talk about Vi and Jag's reunion? Oh. My. Gosh. It was brief (only a few paragraphs long), but so insanely beautiful. Beautiful-beautiful-beautiful. I didn't want the moment to end. I re-read it half a dozen times. I smiled. I went, "Aww," out loud. I melted. And as their scenes continued, the chemistry they had created in book one just picked right back up again, sucking me into the pages. I can't wait to read more about them in book three. If they're not in book three I might die.

So, it seems that there is always a new book, magazine, special issue, tool, or yarn that is always coming out. And I really do try to practice restraint when it comes to purchasing all of my needle craft wants. But, there has been some things that I really desire to add to my personal collection and I thought I would share it with you all.
Entrelac: The Essential Guide to Interlace Knitting
I have been wanting to make something entrelac ever since I saw a gorgeous entrelac hat at my local yarn store (LYS). I looked at videos by Very Pink Knits and it doesn't seem like a very hard process. However, I am the type of person that loves to learn from a book so, whenever there is a technique that I want to try then, I am on the hunt for a book to teach it to me. I feel like this book will give a clear and concise lesson and there is the added bonus of having some patterns in it. This will give me inspiration and motivation to try this technique. Also, I really want to make an entrelac bag so, I need this technique in my life.
Botanical Knits
Ever since Alana Dakos of Never Not Knitting started showing sneak peaks of this book, I have been craving it. I love my Coastal Knits book so, I really want to add Botanical Knits to my collection. I just adore the patterns because they are inspired by nature and the yarn used is simply stunning. I am just in awe. The reason I have been resisting purchasing it is because I'm waiting on my LYS to order it so, I can support local. However, I don't think I will be able to wait much longer and will soon just bite the bullet and get it for myself. (Especially, since she is coming out with Botanical Knits 2 soon, which I definitely want.)
Crochet Noro
I truly think the designs in this book are gorgeous but, I don't know why I don't own it yet. Many times it has been placed in my cart on Amazon but, I just keep putting it off. Maybe I need to order me some gorgeous Noro yarn, which will probably inspire me to purchase this book and create something from it.
Mesh Hanging Sweater Dryer
Since I have started using wool and have a couple of sweaters in wool I really do need this tool in my life. Some of my wool is not super wash, so it will have to be washed by hand. This simple tool is ingenious and it really does not cost that much.
This is a new thread/lace yarn that was introduced by KnitPicks about a month ago. Really, I already own a good amount of thread yarn but, how gorgeous is this yarn. I love working with thread and creating doilies, collars, jewelry, etc. with it. So, I have been tempted to get a skein or two of this. Also the colors are just beautiful and I am so curious about the feel of this thread.
Wool of the Andes Superwash
KnitPicks just introduced their new yarn Wool of the Andes Superwash and I really want it! I really like the idea of having a wool sweater that I don't have to always handwash. Therefore, superwash is my friend. The colors and the price is right! So, I really look forward to creating some sweaters and cardigans from this yarn in the future.
Well, there you have it folks. My dream list. Stay inspired.

PETER PAN LOST HIS SHADOW AGAIN?! My goodness. We really must do something about that boy! :p
Sewing the shadow to his heel doesn't appear to be working… maybe crazy glue this time?
That could work but the chance of burning Peter Pan isn't a chance I'm willing to take. Tink would be so upset with us. XD
But! But! He's magical! He can handle it. Though, boys cry a lot, don't they? Hmm… magnetic attraction? We'll opposite polarize the two! 😄
….you wave back and say, 'Hi! Fancy seeing you here!'…..and the shadow disappears. 😉 Hugs!

Diseases of Bradford Pear Trees
The Bradford pear tree is an ornamental variety that is often used for landscaping. While beautiful, Bradford pear trees suffer from a host of problems. Because their quick-growing branches are made of weak wood and grow at narrow angles, they often break with age or under adverse weather conditions. When under this type of stress, Bradford pear trees are more susceptible to disease.
Leaf Scorch
Leaf scorch typically affects Bradford pear trees in summer after a period of drought or high temperatures (it can also be caused by salty soil). Newly-planted and injured trees are the most susceptible to the disease whose symptoms are caused by the tree's inability to supply adequate amounts of water to its peripheral tissues. The leaves of afflicted Bradford pear trees appear "scorched" or brown at their edges. As the disease progresses, the scorching travels to the interior of the leaves and dries them out eventually causing them to drop. This disease will clear up on its own once the weather cools or the soil is desalinated.
Fire blight
Bradford pear trees are quite susceptible to fire blight, a quick-spreading bacterial disease. The disease typically attacks in spring after periods of wet weather. Once the infection sets in, Bradford pear tree leaves, buds or even fruit will turn black and drop. As the infection spreads, it moves to the branches, which may ooze a sticky milky liquid when it rains. There is no cure for this fatal disease. To control the spread of disease, affected trees are uprooted and replaced with disease-resistant varieties.
Leaf Spot Disease
In Bradford pear trees, the fungus entomosporium causes leaf spot disease in the fall or spring during or shortly after exceptionally rainy weather. The initial infection causes purple red spots on the leaves. And, as the disease progresses, the spots grow and the leaves turns red and eventually drop. Leaf spot disease can be controlled by pruning affected leaves during the growing season. To protect next season's leaves, spray a fungicide such as mancozeb at 1-week intervals from bud break to the end of the growing season.

When you walk into Bartaco, you'll be struck by beauty; both that of the restaurant and the clientele. There is no doubt that this is a place to see and be seen. But the food and cocktails here are worth the trip alone. It's a varied menu for sure, but everything is delicious. Fresh made guacamole, rice bowls and even beautifully roasted chicken. And tacos? Oh yes, they have tacos. Our favorites are the wild boar and the confit duck. There are more traditional routes you can take, but the size and price of the tacos makes experimenting worth it.
The guac is everything that it should be- creamy, a little chunky and above all… fresh. It's served with full tortillas fried up, that you can break apart into chips. Or just eat an entire tasty treat all at once, no judgment. It comes in a few different sizes. Our suggestion? Get the largest size and double the order.
Grilled Corn
Corn on the cob with lime, cotija cheese & cayenne pepper make the ultimate Mexican side. It's lightly grilled and just about guaranteed to get food on your face in the best way.
Chicken Tacos
Probably the most instagrammed taco spot, ever. These tacos are colorful and delicious.
