In search of the elusive sparrow
For generations, the house sparrows have added a child-like freshness to households with their presence, chirruping and flapping their wings at the window sill, eagerly pecking at morsels that were scattered or making a well-cushioned nest in some nook and cranny of the house. A favourite place for these winged creatures would be the canopy (a small metal enclosure that covers the mounting bracket and wires) of the old-style ceiling fans that rotated at their own sweet pace.
But that is a narrative fit for nostalgia. Though the humble sparrow has been accorded the status of Delhi's State Bird, no longer does the 'goraiya' inhabit our households or cheer us with its presence. Strident as it sounds, but the onus of the tiny bird's vanishing act is largely on our city's changing landscape and our habits that have spurred its departure from our urban environs.
So, it came as a pleasant surprise when I recently spotted the tiny avian hopping around, busily collecting wispy feathers and twigs in preparation of a cosy abode amid the blossom-laden branches of the bougainvillea. A closer inspection revealed a deftly balanced nest in the process of completion, shielded from prying eyes and intruders.
Our society is greened by numerous fruit trees and flowering shrubs. Many of these are home to resident squirrels, bats, the occasional owl that hoots in the dead of night, tiny red-breasted robins that flit across from one branch to the other, the chattering brown and yellow seven sisters, forever engaged in a fight for a morsel with the smoky grey rock pigeons which seem to have appropriated every possible space around. The crows too make their presence felt and it is quite amusing to see how they get intimidated when the swarm of pigeons, swoop down on the bajra sprinkled as bird feed under the tall palash (sehmul cotton) tree in the society lawns.
Few know it, but once upon a time in the distant past, beauteous peacocks inhabited our area earning this residential place in East Delhi, just across the Yamuna River a worthy moniker—Mayur Vihar or the dwelling place of the Mayur (peacock). Over time the peacocks flew away and in came mosquitoes, hordes of them, giving the area notoriety as Machchar Vihar!!
Mercifully, things are not that bad now and man and beast have learned to live in harmony with that perennial pest! But I digress.
In a more quiet and 'me time' moment it is quite engaging to watch the shenanigans of the tiny sparrows and members of their larger fraternity. There is frenetic activity around in preparation of the approaching winter and you can find creatures big and small rushing about marking territory for their burrows and nest.
While it is heartening to see these sparrows going about their business, the unfortunate reality is that the tiny avian was perhaps never really an issue of concern for us. We generally took its diminutive presence in our households for granted. Maybe because of which, even its gradual disappearance has gone unnoticed. The fact that sparrows don't feature prominently in environment surveys published by the Government, reminds one of their silent journey into oblivion up until now.
Experts say that in 2006, the dominant bird species in Delhi were house sparrow, house crow, rock pigeon and the common myna. But by 2008, all these birds had been sidelined by the rock pigeon, which have invaded every imaginable space in the Capital's landscape. The shift in the numbers and species is largely due to the severe changes in the urban ecosystem, growing concrete jungle and fast vanishing roosting and nesting spots, disappearing kitchen gardens and increased use of pesticides in farmlands.
Delhi is perhaps one of the greenest cities in the world, but that has not been a compelling enough reason for the sparrow to continue to share our urban living space. This is a scary prospect as apparently our own well-being is inextricably linked to the enlivening presence of the sparrow. Worse, its disappearance may cause havoc to the entire ecosystem. Equally worrying is the fact that the birds may never return deterred by the growing concrete jungle. I am sure most of us have noticed, but never really pondered over the fact that up until now most conservation efforts have been only directed towards the tiger, the rhino, other rare and uncommon birds and animals.
Given this 'rare sighting' of the sparrow, one is compelled to ask if the special status to the sparrow has really made a difference to its circumstances? A thought there!

Since my summer outfit alone was not that interesting, I decided to do a day-to-night outfit post. The evenings in summer are mostly still pretty warm and there is no need to put on a thick coat but I still find that it cools down enough in order to wear something extra. Also when going to a party at night, everyone wants to dress up a bit more and probably wear something different than during the day which is why I looked for simple changes to my outfit in order to make it ready for a night out.
For my outfit to wear during the day, I went for a simple striped bodysuit from Asos and I paired it with these adorable shorts which are also from Asos. I had these shorts in my 'saved items' for about two months until they finally were back in stock in my size! The shorts are in this light creamy colour which I find ideal for the summer time as almost every top I have gives the shorts another look and makes it a completely different outfit. I love the bow at the top of the shorts, I think it adds a lot more detail to it and I don't know if I would like them so much without it. (I have to admit that my 'creating a bow' skills are not at its best and I will have to work on that, my apologies.)
For shoes, I had to wear my new Kurt Geiger sandals which I absolutely love! I think sandals and a bikini are the two hardest items for the summer time to choose as there is too much choice but I think I managed both parts. These sandals are in a tan colour with beautiful gold detailing. The gold detailing is maybe a bit difficult to see in the picture but I posted the sandals on my Instagram too which is 'xmarlindeee'.
To change it up a little bit for the night time, I threw on my black blazer from Forever 21. This is a very casual blazer and it feels comfortable because of the soft material, it is not like the 'standard' blazers which is why I love wearing this one. It is also a bit longer and I thought that went really well with this outfit! To stay with the black details, I chose to wear my high black heels from New Look and at first I was not sure how it would look with shorts but I really like the way it turned out. The change from flats to heels is maybe a big step but just remember the quote from Monte Carlo 'if they ain't hurting, they ain't helping'. I love the the change from casual to party ready with just a few simple changes and I will be wearing these two outfits a lot this summer!
Love, Marlinde x

What You Should Know About Cord Blood
Posted in
Among the many decisions you make as a new mom, you may want to add cord blood banking to the list. Some studies show that cord blood banking has many advantages and can potentially protect your little one against several diseases and disorders in the future.
Now that you know cord blood banking is a 'thing,' read on to learn exactly what it is, how it's used and if you should consider storing yours.
What is cord blood?
After birth, your baby's umbilical cord still holds a small amount of blood. The blood contains pristine stem cells that are used to produce any cell in the blood or immune system, helping the body heal. Most stem cells can make copies of themselves. For example, a skin stem cell can make new skin cells, and so on.
How it's used
The Cord Blood Registry (CBR) says that cord blood stem cells have the potential to treat over 80 known diseases and disorders, like leukemia and lymphoma. However, research is still progressing to uncover new ways stem cells can repair and restore severe conditions, like hearing loss, heart defects and even autism.
Joseph Mitro, M.D, a board-certified physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology at INTEGRIS, says "Umbilical cord blood can be used to treat certain diseases, primarily genetic diseases, blood disorders, or blood cell derived cancers. It has the potential to be lifesaving for someone who has a disease that can be treated with cord blood. However, it will not treat or cure every possible disease that children can develop."
Saving your cord tissue
Not only are moms storing cord blood, they're also storing cord tissue. Cord tissue contains additional stem cells that may help repair and heal the body in different ways than cord blood. These cells can create structural and connective tissues and are currently being evaluated in 30 clinical trials. Cord tissue is not only used for the child, it can potentially be used for close or immediate family members.
How is cord blood stored and collected?
This blood is either stored in a privately-owned facility of the parents' choosing or a public facility. Dr. Mitro says, "If the parents chose to pursue private banking, they find a blood bank of their choosing, and receive a packet of materials that are brought to their delivery. The delivering doctor then collects umbilical cord blood in a bag that is provided by the bank."
The blood is collected after birth when the cord is clamped and cut. A needle is inserted into the umbilical vein to collect about 2-5 ounces of blood into a sterile bag. The blood will then be transported to the storage facility where it goes through a cryopreservation method and is stored for many years to come.
Did you know? If you choose not to store cord blood for personal use, you have the option to donate it to a public cord blood bank help other individuals in the future. If you're not interested in storing, be sure to speak with your doctor about donating.
Collecting the cord blood doesn't affect the baby. Dr. Mitro says, "The only conflict is if the parents also want to do delayed cord clamping. Delayed cord clamping is a newer trend that can be beneficial to the newborn. If parents want to do this, then there may not be enough remaining blood to collect for cord blood banking."
Things to consider
It's beneficial to determine your chances of using the stored cord blood. Dr. Mitro explains, "The American Academy of Pediatrics does not currently recommend cord blood banking for routine prevention of future disease, unless there is a sibling who could immediately benefit from the donated cord blood. Also, statistics show a low likelihood of ever using the blood, and cord blood currently does have its limitations of use, i.e., cord blood can only be used in certain genetic diseases and hematologic diseases such as lymphoma or leukemia."
Another major factor for moms when making this decision is the financial obligation it brings. Below are some general costs for private cord blood banking.
Banking and Collection One-Time Fees
- Average: Cord Blood Banking: $1,000-2,000
- Average: Cord Blood + Cord Tissue Banking: $2,000-3,000
Storage Annual Fee
- Average: $100-300/yr.

Study and find schools in Lesotho
Click on one of the following types of study for Lesotho:
Cities to study in Lesotho
Lesotho, officially known as the Kingdom of Lesotho, is an enclave and completely landlocked country in Africa, surrounded entirely by its only neighboring country, the Republic of South Africa. A relatively small country by African standards, Lesotho has a total geographic area of nearly 12,000 square miles. The country is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and its capital and largest city is Maseru. The name Lesotho translates roughly into the "land of the people."
The population of Lesotho is approximately 2.1 million, only a quarter of which lives in the country's urban areas. The remainder of the population lives rurally, and over 40 percent of the total population lives below the international poverty line of $1.25 a day—a line established by the United Nations and international community. The Basotho people are the largest ethnic and linguistic group in Lesotho, a Bantu-speaking people who account for roughly 99.5 percent of the population. Other ethnic groups include people of various European heritages (0.4%) and a small group of ethnic Chinese (0.1%). The Basotho group is broken down ethnically into the Bakurena, Batloung, Baphathi, and Bafaking people.
Sesotho is considered the official language of Lesotho, and is the language spoken most commonly among the Basotho majority in the country. English is also often used in Lesotho's administrative/government functions, and is taught as a second language in most Lesotho schools. Roughly 90 percent of Lesotho's population is Christian, with an even distribution of those practicing the various Protestant religious denominations and those practicing Roman Catholicism. The remaining 10 percent of the population practices a number of different religions, including, but not limited to, Islam, Hindi and Buddhism.
Education in Lesotho
Education in Lesotho is overseen by the Ministry of Education and Training, which formulates educational policy and the curriculum at Lesotho schools. School is free and compulsory for students between the ages of 6 and 12, the seven years that comprise a student's primary education. The education system is divided between five levels: early childhood or preschool education, primary education, junior secondary school, senior secondary school and post-secondary education.
Early childhood education, which serves children between the ages of 3 and 5, is not compulsory in Lesotho, but it is very important and many parents take advantage of this opportunity. Children in these preschools learn pre-reading and writing skills, basic counting, music and art. They also learn how to work and play cooperatively in structured settings, traits that are valuable to learn prior to their enrollment in primary school.
Primary school in Lesotho spans 7 years and serves students between the ages of 6 and 12. This is the lone compulsory level under the Lesotho education system, where students learn reading, writing and arithmetic in the early primary grades. Subjects such as science, history, geography, social and cultural studies, art, music and physical education are also added as students reach the latter few grades. Following completion of the seventh year, all students must sit for the Primary School Leaving Exam (PSLE) Certificate.
Secondary education in Lesotho consists of a three-year junior secondary level and a two-year senior secondary level, serving students aged 13-15 and 16-17 respectively. At both of these levels, students have the option of enrolling in either the "general" track—an academic program that helps prepare students for potential university admission—or the "technical/vocational" track, where students receive valuable occupational instruction and training in one of many career fields. Students choosing this program generally plan to pursue employment following the conclusion of their studies.
Post-secondary education in Lesotho is provided by three types of institutions: teacher training schools, technical institutions and universities. The first two types, teacher training colleges and technical institutions, offer both 2 and 3 year programs leading to employment in the various career fields important to the Lesotho economy. Universities offer both Junior Degrees and Master's Degrees, spanning four and six years respectively, in a number of academic disciplines.
Due in large part to the quality of the education system—a system in which the government invests 12.5 percent of the country's GDP—the adult literacy rate in Lesotho is an estimated 85 percent—one of the highest literacy rates in Africa.

Not enough kind words can be said about Malone. She is the type of person you want to have around on your wedding day and after the wedding is all over you want to be friends with her. She's not the type of person to brag or tell you these things but she's also an incredibly accomplished photographer. To be as successful as she was in New York City you have to know what you are doing. I know that she is starting over in Arizona for family reasons but make no mistake – she is the best of the best and could be successful anywhere in the world. I could never have anticipated the amount of work she did for us before the wedding, her wonderful energy and personality on the day of the wedding were invaluable and of course her photos are basically art and we will treasure them forever – from beginning to end she was amazing. I will always be so grateful to Malone and all that she did for us.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE!! Malone is THE best photographer out there. I cried when I saw our engagement photos, I cried when I saw our wedding photos. If price is what holds you back, FIRST – she is an exceptional value compared to other photographers. And SECOND – prioritize. These will last a lifetime and they are absolutely priceless to me. I've NEVER like the way I look in pictures but when Malone takes my picture I think I look beautiful and I am proud of our photos. She is not only incredibly talented, she is a kind person and she is incredible at what she does. Don't think twice – book her and you will be so glad you did!!
Malone was my FAVORITE vendor from my wedding. I would say that I have very high expectations from businesses but she exceeded all my expectations. If I was to get married again I would make sure she was available, book her first and then plan everything else. If you want to work with one of the sweetest people ever this is the photographer for you. More importantly, if you want someone who will give you photos that people gush endlessly over than this is the photographer for you. I wish that she could be around to document every major event in my life, (anniversary, babies, etc) – but for now I'll just be grateful for the most beautiful wedding photos I could have hoped for and a really amazing experience. Thank you so much Malone!!
From day one Malone was so professional and attentive and just overall amazing. I don't know how she sees things and makes them so beautiful but she does. I was honestly stunned when I got my photos because it looked so much more beautiful than I remember! I couldn't be more thankful for everything she did for us. Obviously the photos were just beyond incredible but more than that she listened to everything I wanted and she made everything fun. Her positive energy is amazing and you just always want to have her around. We have had more compliments on our photos and how professional and wonderful Malone was than probably any other part of our wedding. Honestly she is more than just a photographer – I wish I could let everyone know that you can absolutely trust her, she will make everything amazing and you don't need to worry. I just love love love Malone!!!!
Malone is an absolute joy – an all around amazing person and her photos are stunning. When we met I felt an instant connection and she talked about how her goal was for her photos to become "treasures" and "heirlooms for our children," – I didn't think much about it I just wanted nice photos. But now, looking back – what she gave us was absolutely priceless. I will treasure these photos for the rest of my life – and I love them. They are so so special to me and I am so grateful to her. If Malone is available hire her!

The Gazette/El Pomar Foundation Empty Stocking Fund is a campaign run during the Holidays to raise specifically over a million dollars for local nonprofits in Colorado Springs. It is a great campaign for nonprofits because it truly makes a difference in having media outreach and a group of El Pomar fellows committed to helping raise awareness and funding for nonprofits.
Here is a story about how the Empty Stocking Fund benefits human service agencies, written by The Gazette reporter Kassandra Cloos. You can go directly to the article here or read below.
Thoams Riggs used to be a "problem child".
He did what he wanted, when he wanted – even while he was on probation. He assaulted peers at a former treatment facility, he said, and faced violation of his probation. He was 16 and faced juvenile detention if he didn't get his act together.
"I was supposed to be looking for a job, either that or going to school and I wasn't doing either," he said. "I was just sitting around, failing classes. Not really doing anything."
Then someone at the Griffith Centers, where he was living, showed that she cared. She encouraged him to take stock of his situation, and gave him one final chance. Riggs, now 23, took it to heart and turned his life around.
"In the end, the willingness to work with me helped me change myself," he said. "Just getting that second chance really showed that as long as someone cares, you can change."
Riggs was a ward of the state and lived in the Griffith Centers' residential facility for five years before he transitioned into independent living at the age of 18. The Griffith Centers also provide children with foster homes, recruit and train qualified foster parents and keep them eligible, and offer family preservation programs, among other services.
Riggs lives in Denver now, but he keeps in touch with some of the people at the Griffith Centers in Colorado Springs. While he lived there, they showed him compassion by just listening to him, he said, no matter what it was he needed to talk about.
"It's full of people who care," he said. "They just want the best (for you)."

Castletown Golf Links
The Isle of Man occupies just about the same area as Greater London - no more than 33 miles long and less than
half that distance at its widest point.
At Castletown golf is mostly played well above sea level, with views at every hole of tumbling cliffs, rocky outcrops,
sweeping bays and, of course, the ever present sea. Yet the playing conditions are pure links golf - tight-knit,
quick draining turf and smooth, fast running greens, with gorse, whispy fescues, and heather defining fairways.
The original Castletown Club was formed in 1892 and holes were laid out on the present site in the early 1900's
by Old Tom Morris, widely regarded as the modern pioneer of golf. Just a few years before he had confirmed to
a potential client: "My fee for laying out a green is One Pound Sterling and travelling expenses", so the exercise
was not too costly!
Following the Second World War, the course was re-designed and restored by the very well-respected architect,
Mackenzie Ross, and it is that course which is in play today. With water on all sides and two magnificent bays carving swathes along each flank, it is a dramatic and wonderfully natural site for a golf course.
Old Tom was the son of a weaver, and began golf by age ten, by knocking wine-bottle corks pierced with nails
(to serve as balls) around the streets of the town using a homemade club, in informal matches against other youths;
this was known as 'sillybodkins'. He started caddying and playing golf from a young age, and was formally hired as
an apprentice at age 14 to Allan Robertson, generally regarded as the world's first professional golfer; Robertson
ran the St Andrews Links and an equipment-making business.
Morris served four years as apprentice and a further five years as journeyman under Robertson, by most accounts
the world's top player from about 1843 until his death in 1859. From the early 1840s, Robertson often chose Morris
as his partner in challenge matches, played by alternate shot format, which were the principal form of competition
at that time. It was said the two never lost a team match played on even terms and they became known as
"The Invincibles".
Old Tom's path suddenly changed in 1851 when Allan Robertson fired him for playing the new 'guttie' ball. At that
time Robertson had a profitable business making the 'featherie' golf ball, which was now under threat due to this
new guttie.
Prestwick Golf Club was just starting up and Old Tom was given the job to design, lay out, and maintain the course.
He also ran his own golf equipment business selling gutties and clubs, gave instruction to players, and organised
events. He was influential in beginning The Open Championship, which was played for the first time in 1860 at
Prestwick. As it happened he struck the very first shot in Open Championship history.
Old Tom Morris's golfing prowess is nicely represented by the following discussion at the Muirfield Open
Championship in 1896, as shown in the book written on his life in 1908 by Mr T. Werner Laurie:
The Reverend William Proudfoot, one of the Parish ministers of Haddington - himself a great golfer, admirable
writer, and very fine preacher had the good fortune to "foregather with that grand old golfer, Mr William Doleman ,
of Glasgow." In regard to Mr Doleman, he very justly says: "As all who know him will frankly admit, his golfing lore
is comprehensive and accurate, and his critical estimate of golfers is never lightly spoken, never merely fanciful,
but always thoughtful and based on something like solid argument."
Mr. Doleman and Mr. Proudfoot were talking of Herd's marvellous 72, and they reverted back to talk of "the immortal
days of Tommy". The mention of the name suddenly lit up the face of the old golfer – a sure signal that some
reminiscence, humorous or serious, was forthcoming. "I tell you sir there isn't a man, English or Scotch, in all this
field that impresses me with the same sense of power - or golfing genius – call it what you like – as Tommy did,
the moment he addressed the ball."
He had just been speaking with warm admiration of Braid, Vardon, Taylor, and Herd, and Mr Tait, but his heart had
to return to the old love, to the kindling memory of a prowess that has never been quite restored to the green by
even the most brilliant of present-day heroes.
Aside from playing the game, Old Tom Morris is often considered as the father of modern greenkeeping. He introduced
the concept of top-dressing greens with sand, which significantly helped turf growth. He also introduced many novel
ideas on turf and course management, including actively managing hazards (in the past, bunkers and the like were
largely left to their own devices, becoming truly "hazardous") and yardage markers. He was the first to use a push
mower to cut greens.
In terms of course design, he standardized the golf course length at 18 holes (St Andrews had at one time been
22 holes). He also introduced the modern idea of placing hazards so that the golf ball could be routed around them;
this was the beginning of strategic design which has dominated golf course design ever since.
The list of links courses that he designed, or had a hand in designing, include some of the leading links courses of
the world:
Royal County Down
Royal Dornoch
Royal Portrush
Castletown Golf Links
His father was a fine amateur golfer, reaching the last eight of the Amateur Championship. Mackenzie Ross also
served in the British Army for the duration of World War 1. He met Tom Simpson after winning an amateur golf
event at Cruden Bay.
By the mid-1920s MacKenzie Ross was in partnership with Simpson, designing most of the firm's course layouts. In the 1930s MacKenzie Ross was a sole practitioner, and was developing a reputation as a designer both in the UK and continental Europe. Most noted for his work at Castletown Golf Links, Isle of Man and restoration of the golf courses at Turnberry, Scotland, following World War 2.
Elected as the first president of the British Association of Golf Course Architects in 1972.
"Variety is the spice of the game," Mackenzie Ross said. "No two holes and no two greens should ever be alike. Particular attention must be paid to the greens' sites and to their slopes as to the lie of the land on the approaches to these greens.
If the course is laid out conforming to these basic principles, then it will prove interesting to all classes of players and will have animation and life.
He managed this very successfully at Castletown Golf Links with no two holes appearing similar, nor any of the greens and this makes for a brilliant golfing experience.
Langness Peninsula is an example of a "tombolo", a rocky island joined by a sandy spit to the main island. The area
has geological formations of limestone, Manx Slate, and conglomerate overlain with sand and shingle at the land-ward
end. This combination occurs nowhere else on the Isle of Man. Large rock arches of conglomerate or "pudding stone"
occur in the South-East and create a dramatic backdrop as you tee off on the 17th hole. The variety of rocks leads to
soils which are diverse in structure and acidity and lends itself to attracting a wide variety of flora and fauna as well
as circa 15 species of butterfly.
The waters surrounding the peninsula feature rich inter-tidal and current swept reefs as well as sheltered areas with
sea grass beds. The salt marshes to the right of the 11th hole have been recognised as a bird sanctuary since
1936 and are said to be one of the best Manx sites for staging migratory water birds as well as acting as a haul
out for grey seals. Basking Sharks and Risso dolphins also visit along the Eastern coastline of Langness and
have been spotted along the stretch from the 16th – 18th holes.
Significant numbers of waders roost here and large feeding flocks of Curlew and Golden Plover have been recorded.
Raven and Chough nest on the rocky coast and Lapwing have bred on the saltmarsh. Migrant birds that can be
seen on Langness include Wryneck, Little Auck, Goosander, and Little Egret.
The result of the above is that Langness Peninsula has been deemed as an area of special scientific interest or
ASSI. As golfers we couldn't wish for a more beautiful setting!
The 18th hole at Castletown Golf Links overlooks the beautiful and historic St. Michaels Isle, a small island joined to Langness Peninsula via a short causeway built in the mid-18th century. There is evidence for human activity on
the island from the early medieval period, some 6,500 years ago, and there remain two ancient buildings that
aptly represent the history of the island's uses through the ages - for both religious worship and the focal point
of battles for control of the Isle of Man.
St Michael's Chapel, dating back to the 12th century, is located on the south side of the island. This was a Celtic-Norse chapel and was actually built on the site of an even earlier chapel, or 'Keeill' in Manx Gaelic.
Two great battles for the control of the Isle of Man took place on St. Michaels Isle in 1250 and 1275, when England,
Scotland and the Manx were fighting for control of the island. In the first battle the Manx won but 25 years later,
they lost control to Scotland. The circular fort that still stands strong today was built later, in the year 1540 (16th Century) during the reign of Henry VIII, as part of a kingdom wide coastal defensive system. The Round Fort had 8 foot
thick walls with a wall walk at the top and supported eight cannons.
These defenses were re-fortified in 1640 by James 7th Earl of Derby, a strong royalist, against the ships of
Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War. The fort was renamed Derby Fort and the Earl's initials along
with a date of 1645 were engraved above the fort door recording the change.
The First Ever Derby Horserace was held on Langness Peninsula. The 7th hole is named the Race Course
because, there, a century and a half before the first ever English Derby the Isle of Man and the then Earl of
Derby (also the Lord of Mann) held the first ever Manx Derby over three furlongs. This was also thirty-nine
years prior to the Newmarket race, which has been proclaimed to be the oldest horse race in existence.

When I told the doctor I was pregnant. I also let him know how I thought maybe if I had the baby it'd give me a reason to live. "What a selfish reason to keep a child though," he said. And he was right. Selfish was something I'd never been called in my whole life, but now is when I knew I was. It was all selfish. And shit, how do you tell your parents at that age what's going on? I was so confused. My parents did it the right way, I'd naively thought. Marrying then waiting to have children for a number of years. But like I said before, they'd had a tumultuous time as well. What I'd learn to be the straw that broke the camel's back and such a thick straw it was….was infidelity. And it was close to home too. And I remember stressing out so much as a kid, wondering what was going on with them that I started having little flashbacks and began to piece together my memory of this one day I probably shouldn't have been a part of.
I used to get migraines, well I still do. But the ones I got as a little kid were so awful. I'd go blind in one eye and then about an hour later I'd get the worst headache of my life and it would sometimes last an entire day. Ugh, they're terrible.
It started out as a day like that. And when I'd get one of these migraines, I used to love to snuggle up in their bed and watch tv. But today was different. She burst into the room with him right on her tail. He grabs out for her arm. She tries to pull away and he just gets her elbow. "Wait!" He says to her. And I just remember their faces. So aghast and upset with the middle person that made their way metaphorically into our home. I remember hearing my swim coaches name and something about a lunch. And that was it for me, I think I got up to go back to my room. But from then on I'd remember back to the day when I heard that name and felt very strange. I didn't realize my instincts were kicking in. But I'd lay there sometimes and cry at night to worry about my parents, because I was worried if they'd make it or call it a day. Will I sleep with insomnia tonight, or will the insomnia take over me to incessantly think….what could I have done?
Years later, my dad and I went out to dinner. Him and I were getting closer after I'd gotten married, and we'd go on date nights. I remember the softness in his voice that night when he told me that they were scared they were going to lose me. I let him know how scared I'd been too. Then, for some reason I asked about the day in their room so long ago. He simply confirmed it and I could see the dispair still in his eyes. He'd gotten his heart broken and the only one with any information on the culprit swim coach was me. I could tell he was full of questions he wouldn't dare ask. What was he like? What did he look like? One question slipped out from him and it hit me to the core. Swimming was my everything. I was captain in high school. I'd gone to state. I loved life during that time. I loved being with my friends. They were there the days I had a hard time during school, but who didn't? I didn't have depression in school, but I had days where I felt like I couldn't figure out what it all meant. Why all the stress of life? I put everything I had into that sport. My friends kept me forgetful though, too, from the bad days. They were always there for a laugh. I was in top ten for homecoming. I just loved being social. And just because there was a lot of fighting at home, my parents were still amazing. Mom and I were cleaning out a desk one day and I found a letter from Keith and Eva. "Please remember the children." It said. I started to cry. Keith and Eva had long passed by the time I read this and I missed them terribly. All I wanted my whole life was for my family to be happy and I just couldn't help thinking I could've been going more. I just, oh, I loved my family so much. I just wanted us to be together and ok. When you're a parent that floods that house with fighting and it's not a physical abusive household, just remember how much your children love you and how you as the parent may be able to do literally everything you can for your family; it may not matter how old your child is to understand and fear what they might have to do to help because they're more grown up than people give credit. I remember haunting myself over that question my mom asked me. The one about whether or not they should divorce. What would I have told her. "This is about your husband, not my father," I'd say. Because you may think you're staying together for the kids but it can be just as, if not more sometimes, detrimental in going that way.

I bought a big 10degree wedge that I really wanted to try out. At the VMQG meeting at Trout Lake, I won a 1/2 meter of Cynthia's newly designed fabric. The wedge is about 20 inches long, so I cut the fabric in half at the centre fold, then cut out all the wedges I could. I then cut out white wedges and sewed them all together, alternating the fabric and the white.
I needed 2 more coloured wedges, so I went through my solids looking for scraps and I pieced together two more wedges - can you figure out which?
This is the "grown-up" quilt for a 14 year old boy, William. His mom threw away his baby quilt after the dogs ruined it. William was upset when he found out, so my dad asked me to make him a replacement quilt that William could keep through his adult life.
I just need to show this off at the guild meeting and get some photos off to Cynthia, the fabric designer.

(This is part of a series where I review several commercially available pet turtle basking platforms, because my pet turtles need new basking platforms.)
Exo Terra Turtle Bank
The turtle bank is described as:
The Exo Terra Turtle Bank is a unique floatation basking area for aquatic turtles. Held in place by magnets, the Exo Terra Turtle Bank can be positioned in the corner of the terrarium to maximize swimming area. Auto adjusting to all water levels, the submerged ramp allows turtles easy access to a dry basking area for maximum exposure to heat and UVB lamps. Available in 3 sizes, it accommodates any sized aquatic turtle terrarium or to allow multiple sized Turtle Banks within the same terrarium.
The Exo Terra Turtle Bank integrates easily into any aquatic terrarium setup, automatically adjusts to all water levels, is kept in position with included magnets, has a submerged ramp for easy access in and out of the water, and is an ideal basking or terrestrial area for semi-aquatic animals.
The turtle bank is held in place by two small magnets, which initially let me think that it would not be strong enough.
A strongly written article made me think I was completely wrong and that this was such a stellar product – but the article, appearing as a review of a company that sells this item, is obviously biased. A user review of this product on Amazon showed a much truer and more believable image of this product (which incidently is still better than my initial low expectations). The only logical conclusion about this product is that it is just like all the other turtle basking platforms available out there: good for smaller turtles, not good for larger turtles.
Yeah: Some very strong points make this turtle basking platform a good product.
- The magnets are stronger than they look and do a rather good job
- The product (without a large turtle) floats very well in the water by itself
- The product is made of a tough material that will not be easily eaten by a pet turtle
- Nice and very natural looking
- Adjusts to water levels (always a plus!!)
Boo: One very strong negative point overshadows the many things this turtle product has going for it….
- It does not accommodate larger turtles. Case in point, it couldn't handle a 9″ red ear slider turtle
My decision: My turtles are getting large, I need a product that will accommodate them and the growth that they will still face. This product might work well for a while as my turtles aren't quite at the 9″ mark yet, but one of them will eventually reach it and surpass it. So no, I'm not going to use the Exo Terra Turtle Bank. It is not a product that will be useful for the lifetime of a pet turtle.

Have you ever reached a goal, and not known what to do with yourself once you're there?
I remember the day of my sister's wedding very vividly. She was the perfect, most beautiful bride. SO incredibly happy with her new husband (FYI - their 8th anniversary is Tuesday and they still act like newlyweds....LOVE that) and beaming with radiance.
My sistah - she was just a baby!
I was confused, then, after the wedding was over when I saw her crying. I asked her why, was something wrong? "No....not at all. Everything is absolutely perfect. It's just that I've dreamed of this day my whole life and now that it's over....well, I'm kind of sad, I guess," she replied.This has always stuck with me. I think sometimes when we've reached a goal, or an event that we've looked forward to is finally coming to an end, we (and by "we" I mean "me") don't know what to do next.
I spent my late teens and early 20's being unhappy with my body and weight. I always compared my current weight at the time to when I was grossly thin, and I was never happy. When I couldn't exercise from the fall of 2007 to the fall of 2008, I gained about 15 pounds. During that year I was even more unhappy with my weight - it's hard for anyone to lose weight, but without exercise? Twice as hard (IMO).
I've worked hard in the last 8 months to lose the 15 pounds. With the combination of eating healthy and working out, I've successfully lost the weight and kept it off for about 6 months. But sometimes, just sometimes, I find myself not knowing what to do next.
It sounds CRAZY, I know. I honestly have never been more happy with my body and weight than I am now, but that creepy little voice in the back of my head sometimes tells me maybe it's not enough. Maybe I should lose more. I try really, really hard to ignore that voice - but it's difficult as that's what I've been telling myself for more than 10 years!
I sometimes wonder if those "skeletons in my closet" will ever go away completely. My thinking is about 80% more "healthy" than it ever was in the throes of my ED - but that nagging 20% hangs on and creeps up sometimes.
Like all things in life, I'm hoping the more I practice my healthy way of thinking about food (I NEVER would have touched PB 5 years ago!), the more of a habit it will be. And maybe, HOPEFULLY, I will silence that little nagging voice forever.
Have you ever reached a goal and not known what to do with yourself once it's met? Did you set a different goal, or focus on being happy in the moment?
Three Things I'm Thankful For Today:
- I'm finally getting my car fixed! So it'll look good as new (hopefully).
- "The Hangover." SO, SO funny.
- Sleeping in.

"I think there was a big mistake made (when) people separated religion and the government. That was one of the big mistakes that was made, because when they did that, then they removed the Creator from their life – or at least from half to three-quarters of their life."
–Tom Porter, MOHAWK
The Elders tell us that every thing the Creator made is interconnected. Nothing can be separated. The Elders say we should pray before we do anything. We should ask the Creator, what do You want us to do? We are put on the Earth to do the will of God. If we run our governments, communities, families or ourselves without the spiritual we are doomed to failure.

Mindoro North District meeting gives us special time with these wonderful missionaries. Elder Labastida (front row far left) is waiting for his visa to go to the Denver, CO mission.
Ingenuity, hard work, and co-operation is symbolized in this photo of men moving a home.
The Mountain People known as the Mangyns come to Calapan during the Christmas season (or giving season as it is known here). They come to beg for money or food. They are an aboriginal tribe who live a very primitive life and are the original inhabitants of the island. Our district president was raised near them and told us a lot about them. Many of them are staying close to where we live. They sleep on the sidewalks and wander the city. They don't wash their clothes or bathe and after a few months of wearing the same thing they will throw them away for something new. They are nomadic and move to different places in the mountain areas as they see fit. Men, women and children smoke pipes using the beetle nut plant. They also chew it. They fiercely protect their lifestyle and are not interested in becoming civilized. The following article is very interesting.
We attended a baptism in Pola and met in this cabana near the ocean for the service. There was a sweet spirit of love from the members as the talks were given and songs were sung.
It was a long walk to waist deep water since the tide was out.
The big smile on Elder Mesias' face says it all.
Following the baptism we took the short walk back to the cabana to celebrate and greet friends and loved ones.
