OPERATION: Keeping the community warm
Publish Date:
News Organization:
After learning about the needs of so many people in need of warmth this winter, Lorrie Brodeur stepped up with her knowledge of knitting and her caring for the community and kept a group of women together.
This group of ladies, fondly known as The Charity Stitchers, meet the first Monday of each month creating handmade kindness and love.
Lorrie has been a friend of mine for many years. She is the activity director at Sunrise Senior Living in Leominster and probably one of the most dedicated grandmothers I know to her twin granddaughters.
But her caring does not stop there.
"I started learning about knitting and donating handmade items when I got to know Diane St.
Laurent, who owned The Yarn Basket," Lorrie begins. "A Charity Night Knitting Social was held there once a month, and I was able to bring some of the residents from Sunrise Senior Living there," she adds.
Sadly, the Yarn Basket closed its doors leaving the social group with no place to continue their knitting.
Lorrie could not let that happen, and with some discussion with staff members of Sunrise Senior Living, the group was invited to continue its efforts in the activity room there.
"It is a win-win situation," says Lorrie proudly. "I can help continue this important knitting social and now I can involve the residents, their families and the staff."
With the help of local businesses, Lorrie has been so appreciative with all the donations of yarn, tools and pretty much everything needed to help continue the charity work for others.
"There are currently 25 talented ladies who have followed me to Sunrise. We make hats, mittens, scarves, and blankets, and we donate them to seven different organizations," Lorrie says.
"This year we started our charity work for the Ashby Knights of Columbus. Members of the Knights collected coats from the community to donate to children attending different schools in the area. They approached me to see if we would be interested in making hats, mittens, and scarves to accessorize the coats.
"The Charity Stitchers started this project in the summer, and we just finished it, and they came out beautiful," Lorrie adds proudly.
That was just one project they did.
The Charity Stitchers work hard for adults, premature babies, people going through chemotherapy, and others who simply need to stay warm.
The women donate adult hats, scarves and mittens to Our Father's House in Fitchburg.
They donate chemo caps to cancer patients of the Simonds-Sinon Regional Cancer Center at HealthAlliance/Burbank Hospital in Fitchburg.
Keeping babies warm is what they love to do, as tiny knitted hats are donated to the premature babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at UMass Memorial Health Care in Worcester.
Montachusett Opportunity Council and Head Start Services in Leominster is appreciative of the donated children's hats, mittens and scarves as it gives the children the chance to go outside and play and get fresh air during the cold weather when they otherwise would not be able to.
They also donate no-sew fleece blankets for children to cuddle up in during nap time.
The ladies also donate to Project Linus, a nonprofit organization that provides homemade blankets to children in need.
The last charity the Charity Stitchers are involved in actually came from The Camaro Club, where Lorrie has been a member.
"My friend, Pam Wolfe, approached me with an interest in us donating to the Early Intervention Program in Westford," Lorrie says. "It was her goal to make 100 hats for women and children within that program, and we proudly met that goal.
"We are so happy for all we are able to do," she adds, "and we welcome members of all ages who love to knit and crochet, and we welcome any donations."
Anyone can buy these items off the shelf, but these handmade items represent much more to the community.
They represent a group of dedicated ladies working hard at their craft, while enjoying fun and fellowship, all to keep those in need warm.

It is 2011, and let's be honest, the government pretty much controls everything now. (Well not really but that intro just makes this post sound better.)
How is it possible that they haven't made a law stating that you CANNOT smoke inside a car if there is a minor i.e.baby, in the car.
Does this not make anyone else livid?
It sets me off immediately when I see a poor baby strapped in a car seat in the back of a car when mom/grandma/baby-daddy is in the front seat puffing away. It REALLY gets me going when they don't even have the window so much as cracked.
Just for the record if I haven't made myself clear...I HATE YOU PEOPLE WHO DO THAT TO YOUR POOR INNOCENT CHILDREN WHO HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SIT THERE AND HAVE TO INHALE THE POISON YOU ARE PUTTING IN THEIR LUNGS.
Where I live it is law that you cannot smoke inside any public building at all. Not bars, restaurants, casino's, nothing. It is law that you cannot speed. It is even law that your child must be in car seat. But how is it not law that you cannot smoke in the car if you are transporting minors???
This baffles my mind.

Happy NIAW, if you can even really even be happy about that.
National Infertility Awareness Week is so powerful, I think it should have it's own month. Or better yet, it's own day each month and it shall be called, NIAW CD1.
I know what I'm about to write might sound ridiculous, but for some reason tonight I have to get it off my chest. I am so lucky. I know this every. single. day. But however this year during NIAW I feel awkward, unworthy, out of sorts, and just plain weird.
I find myself sitting here tonight catching up on blogs: I find myself reading stories of fellow bloggies's third and fourth IVF cycle's failing, stories of d&c's, and stories hope and despair. I read about "Spread the word!" , "It's NIAW!" But then I feel like I am not worthy of claiming infertility because I did get pregnant via IUI. Even though I spent 21 months of my life dealing with PCOS and DR. apts and medication and testing and needle pricks, I technically only spent 4 months on medicated iui cycles of hard core ttc.
I know this is ridiculous but in some ways I feel not worthy of "celebrating" NIAW because I now have a beautiful healthy (almost) 6 month old at home.
I hate how infertility fucks with you.
One month/year you're not even worthy of getting your period after a failed cycle, then the next year you're feeling like you're not even worthy of feeling sorry for yourself for all the struggles you went though........thus you realize, so many others have had to struggle more.
Hence: The following is what hubs was dealing with today at an all male work environment.
The conversation was something like; Oh so-and-so has all girls, and so-and-so is pregnant again, and so-and-so has fifty-fucking-five easily conceived children, oh and You (my husband) well at least you had a boy so the pressure is off. WHAT? WTF DOES THAT MEAN? No! The pressure isn't off because he cannot just look at my vagina and get me pregnant like obviously you can with your wife. No, just because we've conceived one baby does not mean the pressure is off because we would like to conceive more.
I know this is so hard for some people to read because "at least I have a baby!" But I still feel that tormenting anguish of the fear of never being able to conceive again. So in the spirit of that feeling....happy NIAW!

Fun With Stickers (No I don't play with stickers...usually)
One of the many reasons I am so glad I started this blog is for documentation purposes. I must admit I am HORRIBLE at keeping up with things like journals and baby books and memories stuff. I was horrible about it during my engagement, wedding, and pregnancy. Now with my baby I've really tried to get on the ball with documenting memories and milestones.
My saving grace has been this calendar I received as a gift. It's really stupid but it came with about 30 or so convenient stickers to help document milestones. For example there is a sticker for first smile, first trip, first steps, etc. Also, hubs and I are trying to write down a little something for each day of the year.
Well here's the funny part. I am finding that they left out a few stickers for very important milestones.
For example: Where is my sticker for First Time Baby Finds His Penis.
Also, I appreciate the sticker for First Tooth, but where is the sticker after that for, First Bite On Mom's Nipple?
Or, First Blow Out To Reach Your Neck
I would also like a First Fart That Smells sticker.
After this evening I am in the market for the sticker to document First Time Baby Kicks Daddy In The Balls.
What stickers would you need?

An update, and "I would never be like that!"
I am exhausted.
I am not even tired from nights. Nights are still decent because I am still swaddling. I think the cereal is keeping him full longer too. He's been sleeping about a 12 hour stretch with waking to eat once, sometimes twice, but he is so easy. Wake up, 3 to 5 minutes on boob, back to sleep. Ahh night's are good.
Naps however, are miserable. The poor thing really has no idea why he's laying in his crib with these annoying limbs that keep jerking him awake. Then when he does startle and wake up, he starts hysterically crying because he thinks someone just scared him and now he is laying there alone, scared, and awake. I've tried letting him cry it out, I've tried staying crib level and just putting my hand through the railings to paci and rub belly, I've tried keeping him awake as long as possible to really try and tire him out...........but nothing will get him napping for more than 25-30 minutes. We are all so tired.
Has anyone had to train their baby to sleep un-swaddled? Any tips? Please!
Now to what I find funny. I took my first day trip to the park on Friday. Holy hell that place is an infertiles worst nightmare. Bumps and babies everywhere. It definitely made me take a moment (as I often do) and be so thankful.
Anyway....You know we've all said the, "When I'm a mom I would never be like that" or said the very comforting, "My kids won't be like that." But you really never know what you'd do until..well you know...walked a mile in someone else's shoes.
However, I really had to say I WOULD NEVER BE LIKE THAT when I saw some of these mothers. I mean I know I don't have multiple children and I do not know what stress that brings but I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. One mother was pushing her 3 year old on the swing while she just let her 10 month old scream and cry and ball his eyes out while crawling toward her in the mulch getting wood chips and bark all up in and on his clothes. Poor guy. Then there was the mother who just sat as she watched her kid cry out "I want my mommy" in the middle of the play ground and didn't do anything to console him. Other mothers started acting worried and were trying to help him find his mom and still she just sat there sipping her coffee. Unreal.
Last thought. I know I have a big baby. I know he's a big boy. I know this because he is MINE and I am at all the dr. appointments when they tell me he is in the 86th percentile for height and the 74th for weight. I know all this and I love it. He is big, strong and healthy. Go boobs right?! Well let me tell you what I don't need to hear, "You're kid is HUGE!" Huge? Really? Do you really need to use that word? Can't you just say he is a big boy. Or, he is big boy for his age. But huge? Why does that word just piss me off?
Maybe next time I'll just say back what I feel, "Well thanks, and your kid looks unkempt with boogies down to her knees and her hair in a knot." How do you think that would go over?

Oh Happy Day!
My kid pooped. My kid pooped 3 times.
Which means I had to practice the art of follow-through. Yes, I did go buy my kid a toy. (I know, I know he has no sense of what's going on.) But still it is good practice for me. I know as a parent, you can't say one thing and do another. (Hence all of "those" mom's who tell their kid they will count to 3 or else....well I think those mom's are still out there counting.) So anyway, since I said I would buy him a toy if he pooped, B is the proud new owner of 99c plastic toy keys.
Another oh happy day moment: B put himself to sleep unswaddled. He talked, then whined, then cried for about 2 minutes and fell asleep. Progress. Now, since then he's woke himself up twice and required a paci. But hey, we're getting there.
Day 2 of oatmeal tonight. Oh happy day!

I'll buy you a toy if you poop.
Is it too early to start bribing my kid?
3 days on rice cereal and still no poop. He has had pretty loud massive gassy farts, but no prize. Poor guy.
Thanks for your comments again. Tonight we are moving on to oatmeal and here's to hoping that will help get things moving for him. I know they say to introduce new foods like one week or two weeks at a time or something, but I'm pretty confident that if B would be allergic to the rice, he would have showed symptoms by now.
So oats tonight and praying for a poop.
Napping: He still doesn't understand why he is supposed to sleep when his arms are free. It's getting better, i.e. shorter crying periods and longer stints of sleep. But by no means does he have any clue on what he is doing, I think by now he is just exhausted and gives up the fight.
Plus, someone needs to come tell me to stop being an idiot and trying to shower, wash my hair, AND shave my legs while I'm sleep training for naps. I've been running in and out of the shower having to lather down and lather up my legs. Dummy.
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
One hurdle down, now on to the next. (Repeat a bajillion times until, well, forever.)
We did it. We started B on solids.
Thank you all so much for all your great input. You seriously all rock. (Did I really just use the term "you rock"?) Yes, yes I did and you do. There isn't a better way to put it. All you bloggy friends are so awesome.
So after much consideration, and reading your comments, we decided to start B on rice cereal. I went to the store and bought some veggies but I think I'm going to hold off for a week or two on those. Because B has only ever had breast milk in his little belly, I thought the rice cereal would be the best next step for us. And it was.
He loves it. He totally loves it and took to the spoon better than I thought. He also got more to the back of his mouth to swallow than I thought. It was so cute and fun to watch him reach for it. I am definitely glad we started. He was ready. Also I think it is helping his sleep considering I was only up with him once last night in a 12 hour stretch.
Poop situation: We started Sunday night. Monday morning he had 2 big poops. (Probably not the cereal yet.) Today, no poops as of yet. So it's technically been over a day without a poop. I will keep you all filled in on the poop situation. I'm sure the next poop will be nice and new smelling. I'm just hoping it doesn't take 4 days to get here.
The next hurdle: Sleep training WITHOUT being swaddled. I guess when they stop making swaddle blankets big enough for your kid, it's time for him to start sleeping spread eagle. THIS SUCKS. But it needs to be learned. Could you imagine me unswaddling my 10 year old every morning so he can get ready for school?
Yesterday we started sleep training just for naps. He doesn't get it. He thinks if his arms are out, it's time to play. 90 minutes of crying, trying to roll over, getting his legs stuck outside the crib, rolling back over, trying to paci, crying and crying some more, he slept for 15 minutes. The next nap he took in the car seat because we were out and about and his third nap I caved and swaddled.
So today we try again. 30 minutes of crying, rolling over, getting both legs stuck outside the crib while an arm is stuck under him he spits up and lays his face in it, strip the bed, new sheets, paci, rolling over some more (did not learn his lesson) crying and rolling over some more, me rolling him back, paci, and more crying he slept for 20 minutes. He is down again unswaddled and we are going on a half hour here. I'm impressed.
Oh yeah and just to jazz things up a bit, our video monitor BROKE last night. Yup, at 2am. Perfect. Beautiful. Luckily it still has audio, but the video is kaput. While waiting on a replacement, (Yes, Summer is sending us a replacement asap therefore so far I like this company) I am flying blind here folks.
Wish us luck.

Should I? Or shouldn't I?
Bradley is 5 months old.
Holy bleepin bleepity bleep.
How the bleep did this happen?
Where the bleep did the time go?
Ok so he is 5 months old and has gone from being my amazing sleeper from 10pm to 6am, to waking up three. bleeping. times. a. night.
This needs to change.
I think we might start him on rice cereal tonight.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Info? Please!
I know I would be starting him a whole month earlier than I had planned, wanted to, and that is recommended. That is the only reason I have such reservation. But all in all, I think he is ready. Actually I think he is so ready that I'm starting to feel bad if I don't give it too him. Nursing is going great and I haven't wanted to add anything to our schedule. Well maybe I just want to keep him an infant forever. But I can't. And he is pretty much shouting from the roof tops that he is ready.
For one, he just cut his first tooth!! I know, I can't believe it either. This morning hubs and I felt and it was totally out through the gums. Oh. My. Gosh.
Second, he has total head control and can sit up (assisted) like a little champ. I know he will be able to hold his head up and straight enough to swallow/eat.
Third, he is TOTALLY interested in what we are eating. He can be in the middle of active play and as soon as I put something in my mouth to stops, still as a statue, and watches me chew. It is hilarious. But also it is making me feel guilty that he's not eating anything yet. I think he totally wants to.
If we do this I am just so afraid and hope his little GI tract is ready for this. I've heard of babies getting horrible tummy pain and constipation. I don't wish that for him. Also, I just can't believe it won't just be him and my boobs anymore. It will be him, my boobs, spoons, cereal, and the bottle of left over breast milk I am going to use to make the cereal with. Whoa. And they said three's a crowd...
Anyone have any pointers on starting cereal? Anyone have any pointers on how to stop your kid from growing up so quickly? Anything will help!

A Few More Lessons
I have learned:
- If I need my baby to wake up, all I must do is make myself a meal. As soon as I sit down to eat it, he awakes, like magic. (At least he is helping me take off the baby weight!)
- The nature behind a blowout occurring depends solely on the position of the buttock during the dumpage, not the size of the load.
- It is IMPOSSIBLE to fold a fitted sheet. Even if it is crib size.
- The worst question you could ask me when I get back into bed AFTER I have crawled out of bed in the middle of the night to change a poopy diaper, re-swaddle, feed, and soothe a crying baby back to sleep is, "How is he?" What? Now? How is he now? You ask me how he is now? Well now he is perfectly fine! 30 minutes ago is a different story. How convenient that you would like to know how he is now. (I say with love)
- There is no feeling in the world that compares to the deepest love I have for this precious boy of mine!

So the end of the World Cup happened and we have to wait another four years before we can enjoy it all over again. Now this may not seem like a long time to those of you young enough to have your best years ahead of you, but to us older types, the years are increasingly precious and we don't know how many more we will be able to attend. I would hope to still be attending well into my seventies and beyond. For some this will probably be the last, and for Nelson Mandela surely the oldest man in Soccer City last night, his appearance before the game capped a near perfect tournament. If the football had been better, it would have been a perfect 10, that's for sure.
Watching on TV is never satisfactory, and if England had made the final, we would have been there, unlikely as that event would have been of course. Some good friends had been lucky enough to have made the trip, David who I cycled with earlier this year on the Dallaglio Cycleslam, Ian who climbed Kilimanjaro with the rest of us in 2004 and Dom, with whom I went to school and who was the host with the most whilst we were in Johannesburg and I am sure they would have sucked in the atmosphere, which I know would have been electric. But to be there, in that stadium in Soccer City, when Nelson Mandela was driven in on his little golfing buggy across a white carpet, well that must have been a very special moment, and boy did Madiba have the biggest smile in the whole world. He must have been so proud, so pleased and above all so happy that his beloved land had delivered this the biggest sporting tournament in the world. Whether or not FIFA had put this old, frail man who will be 92 next week under pressure is another story ( as they say in South Africa). Rather fitting that he did not stay for the matchthen, as it really did not do anything to enhance the reputation of the so called beautiful game. Indeed another 'leader' looked on whilst the battle between the total footballers of Spain and the Total Cloggers of the Netherlands played out. One Robert Mugabe. Hero of Zimbabwe in 1980, now pariah of Africa. What exactly that evil man was doing there is anyone's guess. If FIFA invited him, shame on them. If South Africa invited him, shame on them too. The only black mark in this whole tournament was his presence at this final.
The game was absorbing if ultimately disappointing. Spain's football is sublime and in Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets and Alonso they have a quartet that not only pull every string, but make every string sing. Not since Brazil 70 have we seen such masters.
This was a victory for the little man. Even their power house at the back, Puyol is shorter than would be accepted in the English leagues and plays with his heart on his sleeve. With his distinctive locks, resembling Tony Iommi or David Coverdale circa 1976 (ironically in the times of the truly great Dutch footballers), he was an inspiration. Spain hold the ball and as my co watcher last night Steve said, 'they are not afraid to go backwards'. By contrast Holland decided to become the new West Germany. No shortage of skill was secondary to pure muscle and more often than not overt aggression. Van Bommell plays like Graeme Souness without the touch and De Jong is like Jimmy Case. One attack on Alonso begged the question 'was De Jong a big Bruce Lee fan as a kid' karate, or otherwise, and De Jong was lucky not to be sent off before half time. Indeed the martial arts approach was contagious with Schneidjer auditioning as Cato for an episode in the Green Hornet. I bet Howard Webb wondered what he had walked into last night.
A moment of sublime brilliance from Spain's biggest bit part player, Fabregas, a man who would walk into any of the other thirty one teams taking part, was met equally by one from the diminutive Iniesta, who for me was the man of the match, despite some journalists and commentators stating he had had a poor game (?). The cup was Spain's and they swapped shirts from blue to red (with a star of course) as is their tradition – I have now found out – but a significant departure from World Cup tradition, I may add. A future trivia question will be what is unusual about the picture of Spain receiving the World Cup in 2010. Add in 'who was the only unbeaten team in the tournament' and children not yet born will never guess it was the part timers from New Zealand.
Faced with BBC TV coverage, ITV was frankly beyond the pale, it was evident that Lee Dixon, Alan Hansen, Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker had all been impressed by the people and the country that is South Africa. They were all visibly moved by the appearance of Mandela and all pleased that Spain had won. On a night where good triumphed over bad (barring one certain Robert Mugabe's presence of course), the BBC ended their coverage with a District 9 style cinematic piece. Whether you thought it was cheese or not, and I did not, it did point to the questions that remain. Those of legacy, inequality, poverty and social justice. District 6 has long gone, but let's hope its legacy is going now. Indeed let's hope the World Cup 2010 is the kick start that all of Africa needs in this ever competitive world dominated by the new colonial powers of multinational globalisation.
South Africa – wave your flag with pride and belief. Well done.

The third winner in the new extensions category is Tagmarks by Felipe Tassario Gomes, which I've seen reviewed in several sites this week, but I'm still not convinced icons can replace words for tagging without customization options.
In the updated category, the handy Read It Later, developed by Nate Wiener, and TagSifter by Chiisai Tsu, provide a great aid for procrastination and tag navigation respectively. Bookmarks Preview, brings Apple's cover flows to the Library.
In the music category, winner Fire.fm by Jorge Villalobos and José Enrique Bolaños, provides tight integration between the location bar and Last.fm.
Congratulations to all the winners! Hope to see more similar contests in the future.

Waking Hours
is a live sound performance and a sound installation, composed from minimal sound-events, captured daily throughout the course of 13 days, in the hours between 5 AM and midnight in Lutherstadt Wittenberg (DE). The sounds from different hours are layered on top of each other, conveying the multiplicity of minutiae and accumulation thereof into the big narrative of the place, fed by vague historical inputs and distorted according to the psycho-emotional state of the glaneur and the listerner. Presented live in the framework of a residency programme and performance & multimedia festival 2016 WB Wurzel Bewegung in Wittenberg (DE) on 06/08/2016.
Each day I take around two hours to walk 6km through the streets of Wittenberg to gather sounds. A practice of the quotidian, I call it now, a practice of the regular.
Maybe, I figure, I am gathering sounds only in order to have a good excuse to walk around in order to try and understanding this city, the complexity of its past and the emptiness and silence of its present.
Maybe it is not so much about gathering material, as it is about watching and listening, in order to see and to hear, letting the elements of the place invade and form my understanding of it, rather than projecting something of mine onto these unknown spaces. Although I do know that what we tend to see and to hear is always formed by our brain and eye, intelligence too. What about the things unseen, the things we hear and those we think we do, I wonder?
While walking, I also realize that the other, the stranger, me in this case, is rather suspicious in a quiet and still place, like this one. I keep walking the streets at different hours of a day, incessantly, stopping once in each street to listen to what the underground, stones, grass, rose-bushes, bug colonies, rainwater pipes, mailboxes, metal doors of power units, bus-stop signs, bus-stop sheds, insides of fallen trees, wooden fences, trucks, hoists, bikes, cars, parks, gardens, trees, birds, construction workers operating power drills have to say, and meet eyes that question my presence there.
For 13 days, daily, I am walking same streets, trying to stay aware, awake and open to each minor (sound) event in each step I make. We are quite good at noticing strangeness of new spaces, but only until they wear down: in time, we stop noticing details, things, and people. In time, our glance rubs away the newness, the interesting, we are no longer triggered by simplicity of the everyday.
We are living in times when myriads of invasive inputs have become our new regular, we are ready to have multiple experiences of the unexpected each moment we open out social platforms, and we have become less sensitive to small everyday things. When I listen to the rustling of a bug colony by the roots of a tree, I wonder, what is it exactly that expels the capacity of wonder.

Quick Tech: Safety - The NecksGen Youth
The World's First Head and Neck Restraint Designed Specifically for Children
Ever since head and neck restraints became accepted shortly after Dale Earnhardt Sr. 's death, one group was left out of the equation, youngsters. There simply was no restraint designed for children racers. Until now. Using the proven technology in the standard adult unit, the NecksGen Youth is a narrower unit to accommodate the smaller torso of youth racers. The biggest difference is the shoulder platform and wing size - the youth unit accepts a 2 inch seat belt making the unit lighter and much narrower.
The Youth model is targeted towards drivers 7-16 years old and designed for drivers competing in Quarter Midgets, Bandolero, Legends, Trophy Karts and more. Weighing in at just 1.8 pounds and made from a carbon fiber composite material the NecksGen Youth is the lightest, smallest, most flexible and most comfortable youth head and neck restraint available!
The Youth unit is adjustable to fit a wide range of seat angles from 10 to 40 degrees. The low rear section makes getting in and out of a racecar in close confines easier.
The NecksGen restraint features unique belt wings to keep loose belts from falling off under accident conditions, this combined with belt channels keep the restraint system centered under the seat belts at all times.
The NecksGen's adjustable tension-neutralizing helmet tether allows the impact load to be distributed evenly through four load paths for maximum head and neck protection. This has allowed the NecksGen to achieve superior results in SFI Certification testing. Its ergonomically flexible design helps achieve previously unsurpassed comfort while its body-forming belts and pads ensure there are no hard contact points to pressure the collarbone.
Priced at $599, the unit comes standard with Quick-release helmet hardware and in a carrying case ready to go racing!

Guess which band is sober and drug free? The ones with the makeup and the high heels.
Anyway, Gene Simmons, front man for Kiss, CE-OH, marketer, and rights hoarder announced a summer tour with Motley Crue, so I guess it's time to pay off that summer beach house or condo. Mr. Simmons claims that we will be getting the "real" and not that "fake Rhianna-schmana crap," but all I see is another shallow fissure in the growing trend of geriatric has-been-rockers that continually rock on to remind us of how old and stupid we are getting while shelling out $150 for seats. Face it, I can barely sit through a single bunch of old guys, but I cannot tolerate being compounded by two. I will pass. It is not that epic. Sorry!
Where the fuck is Pink Floyd when you need them?

Centerbridge Capital Partners LP purchased Rock Bottom Restaurants, Inc., and Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Group, Inc., in order to form CraftWorks Restaurants & Breweries Inc. The new firm also owns Old Chicago and nine specialty concepts; it will keep the chains, headquarters and management teams separate. Frank Day, Rock Bottom Co-founder and Allen Corey, Chief Executive of Gordon Biersch will lead the company, with Day serving as Chairman of the Board.
Palm Bay International named Larry Neuringer to the post of Senior Director of Marketing for its Heritage Spirits Brands portfolio. Neuringer was formerly a Brand Director at Pernod Ricard USA.
Ted's Montana Grill is closing nine chain units in Kansas City and Wichita, Kan., Omaha, Neb., Schaumburg, Ill., Sterling, Va., and Raleigh, N.C. However, new markets are being considered in Florida locations including Fort Myers, Tampa, Orlando and Ocala, as well as North and South Carolina, and the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore areas.
Technomic points to retro cocktails, high-cachet gin and bourbon, craft beers and punch (including Sangria) as hot trends for restaurants in 2011. Also in the Chicago-based foodservice market research firm's sites: cocktails with herbal and floral ingredients and "skinny" cocktails, as well as more adult beverages in fast-casual eateries as those operators work to set themselves apart from traditional limited-service competitors.
CB Holding filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and will be closing 29 units of its Charlie Brown's Steakhouse. CB Holding will also try to sell the remaining 39 Charlie Brown's, Bugaboo Creek and The Office restaurant locations on the East Coast.

Al Porto situated on Hull Marina. It was an absolutely fantastic day catching up with old friends and making new ones but I have a whole post dedicated to the meet coming soon. Today I thought i'd share with you some of the Lush products I got yesterday during the demonstrations by the lovely staff at Lush Hull.
Firstly, the big blue tub is Rub Rub Rub a body scrub that smells delightful. I had to buy this after one of the ladies gave my new friend Ashton a beautiful exfoliating hand massage using this. The smell was definitely what drew me to it but after seeing and feeling the difference in Ashton's hands I was sold. I'm hoping to do a more in depth review after I've used this. Next, is the hyped up Comforter Shower Gel i'm actually cheating because I bought this in Leeds last week but I thought id include it. It smells exactly like you'd imagine; sweet and comforting! I can't wait to use this on those dark, cold nights where you come home from work, jump in the shower and spend the night in your pjs!
On to the 3 treats I received in the amazing goodie bags (FYI we each had 3 of them!) First up is a small tub of Don't Look At Me face mask, I've never heard of this so i'm excited to try it tonight. Next is Green Fun which is a complete all rounder product. I actually bought the Blue one for my boyfriend last Christmas but it melted before he had time to properly use it. Finally a bubble bar - Granny Takes A Dip. I've seen lots of people instagram this and it smells delicious.
The last 3 products I picked up at the Bloggers Event mainly because Ashton was thee world's best enabler! I picked up The Experimenter which is the dream, just look at it. Apparently it has a Christmassy scent which is perfect for me. Rose Jam is a bubbleroon which I haven't heard of but again look how blooming cute it looks. I love anything pink and glittery so this is right up my street. Finally a product that grabbed my attention immediately, I've been suffering with really dry hands and the fantastic sales ladies really sold this to me. Golden Handshake is a hot hand mask with the most delicious ingredients! Again, I'm hoping to review this once I've used it.

Just to give some context of my life and perspective to this column: I'm not a very political person. I grew up in a country that's had the same president for the past 31 years. Democracy doesn't really exist in Uganda — every election that comes is rigged, the opposing candidate would be kicked out of the country or put under house arrest. I would look to America as an example of how democracy and elections were meant to work
This was my first time in America for an election that I could actually vote in. I am completely new to the American system so while at Knox I was mainly paying attention to how the elections work and why. What does someone need to become a president? How many votes? Which votes matter? What is the electoral college? I had no idea what the answers to any of these questions were.
Feel free to think of me as incredibly ignorant because I forgot the day that my President was being elected. The Vow of Silence was for my Intro to Religious Studies class. I had to not talk or take any action against something for 24 hours. It was horrible.
Everyone that tried to talk to me that day drew the conclusion that I wasn't talking out of protest for the elections until I showed them the assignment page. I wish I had thought of doing the Vow as a way to protest the election, then it would have meant something.
As the day progressed I didn't really think of the election. The silence helped create an inner peace with what was happening and how I felt about it, I never really felt the need to talk to any of my friends about what was happening. I only felt the need to comfort, I don't think I have ever hugged as many people as I have in that 24-hour period. When you can't talk you start to watch other people's body language and empathize with them through that. Through the night I just sat there and watched. The Taylor Lounge was filled with people watching the election, but as it became more apparent what the outcome of the election was going to be more people began to file out back home.
I was one of the last to leave Taylor. I remember looking one of my friends in the eye for about a minute and just shaking my head with them; the anguish was apparent, language wasn't needed for that. The night ended with a group of friends and I leaving the lounge with our heads down, them talking about how they were going to skip school or crawl into a hole and hibernate for a week. I, on the other hand, was mellow; I didn't feel much — either because of shock or the silence and was going to go about my day as normal.
The next day was, for me, much harder than the election night because of the rally that happened on the Gizmo patio. My 24 hours were still not over so I still was unable to talk. As everyone said what they were feeling I grew more anxious, I wanted to break my vow right there, get up and say what I was feeling but I didn't. I wanted to talk about how we were all in this together, no matter who we voted for. I wanted to talk about how in my short time in America I have never had more faith that we will continue to do what is right in spite of who is in power. But I didn't say any of this. I was quiet. I was too worried about a grade than contributing my voice to Knox.

Meal two, quesadillas, which is always a great go-to vehicle for using up leftovers!
Also, more baby food inspiration here, as I used my son's corn puree for the corn crema. I've seen recipes using heavy cream or mayo added to sour cream to make homemade Mexican crema. I figured corn puree has a similar consistency so why not. Major win folks, its delicious and the perfect sauce to cut through the pork in these quesadillas!
The following serves 2 (compliments of This Girl's Gotta Eat):
- 4 multi-grain tortillas, soft taco size
- Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup Pulled Pork, just eyeball it
- 1/2 cup sliced and rinsed leeks (remove the hard green top, slice the white part down the middle lengthwise, then slice again into half moons, then rinse pieces in a mesh strainer to remove any dirt and dry slightly)
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 2 Tbsp sour cream
- Zest and juice of half a lime
- Salt to taste
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Preheat oven to 400.
Cook corn according to package directions. Remove 1/4 cup and set aside. Puree the remaining 1/4 cup with a little water in a high powdered blender until smooth and creamy. Combine the corn puree with the sour cream, zest and lime juice and salt to taste. Set aside.
To build the quesadillas, add two tortillas side-by-side on a large baking sheet (or pizza stone). Top each tortilla with a layer of cheese, pork, leeks and cooked corn (make sure cheese is on the bottom which will act as a glue to keep everything together). Add another layer of cheese and top each with another tortilla. Bake for 20 minutes until tortillas begin to brown and cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and once cool enough to handle, cut each into four pieces. Divide among plates and top with the corn crema (I used a squeeze bottle if you're curious) and garnish with sliced green onions.

In 2005, Turkish lawmakers made it a crime to insult "Turkish identity." Selma Şevkli, a freelance reporter in Turkey, describes how the country has struggled to carve out a place for minorities and to define its "Türküm," or Turkishness.
There are more than 200 sovereign states that govern the 6.7 billion people in the world. But large groups of people have fallen through the cracks of international law and lack many of the benefits of belonging to a nation-state. Our Stateless to Statehood project explores the relationship between individuals, ethnic groups and states -- from the 12 million people without any citizenship to the tens of millions yearning to form entirely new nations. The project focuses on three groups:
- Citizens of nowhere - Every day, about 12 million people wake up as citizens of no nation at all. These men, women and children are scattered across six continents and excluded from virtually all the benefits of nationality -- a passport, the right to vote, land ownership, access to health care and legal employment. From Rohingyas in Myanmar to Nubians in Kenya and Haitians in the Dominican Republic, stateless individuals live without the protection and recognition of the government that rules the place where they live. On June 10, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the first-ever American legislation to recognize and reduce statelessness, which also addressed issues of global stability and security. The issue encompasses a tangle of nationalistic politics, ethnic discrimination and international human rights law.
- Refugees are victims of violent conflict who are unable or unwilling to return to their country of nationality. Currently, 16 million people are recognized by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees as refugees or asylum seekers. Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghanis and Somalis are the largest refugee groups currently living outside their countries of origin. Their country of nationality cannot protect them, and they typically rely on international bodies to provide them with aid and sufficient livelihood.
- State-seekers are groups striving for autonomy and national self-determination. They often view themselves as stateless peoples. Even though most of these groups have formal, legal ties to nation-states, they often seek to attain a state that will better serve their interests. While around 200 million people belong to groups seeking secession or greater autonomy, a small fraction are actively involved in these struggles. Kurds, Uyghurs, Tibetans and Basques are a few of the groups whose situations we explore.
"Stateless to Statehood" examines the root causes of statelessness in the post-colonial period, in the the aftermath of major wars and the break-up of empires. We're identifying potential ways to solve statelessness via legal and political avenues, as well as exploring the themes of nationalism and ethnic identity.
Stateless to Statehood
Turkishness is not always delightful
Ethnic Nubians live on the margins in Kenya
Adam Hussein Adam, project coordinator of the Open Society Initiative for East Africa, writes how his community's plight is largely unknown outside of Kenya. About 100,000 Nubians live in Kenya, brought by British colonialists to the area as soldiers from different parts of Sudan.
A pilot, two presidents and Kurdish claims in Iraq
Jehangir "Jay" Irani served as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force for 10 years, flying missions throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. He comments on Kurds in northern Iraq laying claim to oil and gas revenues, recalling the time he transported his most famous passenger.
Stateless for my first ten years
Ahmed Moor is a 25-year-old American citizen who was born and raised in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. He writes about being born "stateless."
Tibetan refugees seek livelihoods in Ladakh, India
A vibrant and enterprising community of Tibetans lives in Ladakh, the easternmost area of the contested state of Jammu and Kashmir. Thousands of essentially stateless Tibetans have migrated westward to Ladakh since Chinese forces conquered Tibet in 1959.
A Burmese family's story of multiple arrests, weekly bribes
Karen Zusman, an independent journalist, writes about one family caught up in the human trafficking of Burmese refugees on the Thai-Malaysian border.
Malaysia refuses to recognize Burmese as refugees
Karen Zusman, an independent journalist, recently returned from Malaysia, where she reported on the plight of Burmese refugees trapped inside that country. Listen to the full audio documentary and view images from her travels.
Burmese refugees rounded up and sold in Malaysia
In Malaysia, some immigration officials have been accused of involvement in selling refugees from Myanmar, also known as Burma, to gangs in Thailand.
Malaysian immigration officials implicated in human trafficking
Elaine Pearson, deputy director of the Asia division of Human Rights Watch, joins Martin Savidge to discuss the status of the Myanmar refugees in Malaysia and the problem of human trafficking in Asia.
This summer, Worldfocus.org's multimedia project "Stateless to Statehood" explores the relationships between individuals and the states they live in. Twelve to 15 million people live in limbo without the benefits of nationality.

Wonderful stay in Kyoto
2 persons from USA, February 2018Dear Naomi, I want to extend my sincere thanks for all of your services in providing one of my favorite (short) vacation experiences. The Ryokan Motonago was wonderful with really nice facilities and food. The highlight of the visit was Marco. Monday in Kyoto was beyond spectacular. We saw all the best places in Kyoto in one day and never could have done it without Marco's great leadership. We definitely hit our homerun when we saw the maiko geisha. Arashiyama and the bamboo forest was lovely, the Golden Pavilion was beautiful, and the Fushimi Inari Shrine was unbelievable (and we were lucky to not have crowd). My friends in America are very jealous! Thank you for the lovely gift of sake cups and beautiful cards. I will treasure these back at home. I truly appreciate both of you and your wonderful assistance in making our Kyoto vacation very special. I hope that we come back again to Japan next year where I'll be back in touch. Domo arigatogozaimashita!

It might be because there is no real summer to be felt throughout most of the parts of Europe: many larger tournament series already have started to schedule their stops for 2012, giving me the chance to look out for online qualifiers fair in advance. The World Poker Tour for example has already announced their stop to Dublin on Jan 4th through 8th 2012 with their new co-sponsor PKR.
Nevertheless 888poker received a license to host $6,500 Package Qualifiers including the 2,500 € buyin as well as $1,400 spending/travelling money, six nights stay at City West Hotel in Dublin and of course some merchandising and an experience poker players usually do not forget.
From what I have seen and read so far, the direct qualifiers take place every (other?) Saturday with a buyin of $220, sub-satellites for the finale are running numerous times each week with a buyin of $16.50 (as a rebuy). Since the (sub-)satellites are already running, I will be taking shots at the sub-satellites every time I am able to play them. I will not use more than 1 rebuy and the addon for each sub-satellite. Also, I will be playing the sub-satellites if I have already won a seat to the finale, because cash would be awarded for another seat won. This is supposed to result into small returns to the bankroll. All in all not more than 10 % of the initial bankroll will be used to play the sub-satellites and I will not buy into the finale directly.
This is already the second WPT tourney I am aiming for or at least which seem to be worth trying to qualify for after I announced the WPT Amnéville to be one of the target tournaments early on. Even though many plans go through my mind an my blog posts, I will stay on the lookout as the schedules of other series will receive additional tourneys for 2012 as well.
Stay tuned for upcoming scores and a page added with an overview of online results.

Written by Sharon on May 09, 2018
Hey Western Sydney, we've found you a hidden gem in the heart of Campbelltown! Restaurant Macarthur is located inside the TAFE NSW Campbelltown campus. It's a special training restaurant which is run by the commercial cookery and hospitality students. Restaurant Macarthur is open to the public, and it offers some amazing dining deals!
Restaurant Macarthur opens once a week for lunch and dinner. High teas and degustation dinners are also available at various times during the semester! Dining here is like going to any other restaurant, you simply book yourself a table via the TAFE NSW Campbelltown campus.
The students coordinate the entire meal service themselves, they create the menu, prepare the food and provide their diners with professional table service.
Menus are a set price for three delicious courses, lunch is $22, Dinner is $37 (April 2018) . Dinner also includes a canape and a glass of soft drink, wine or beer. This has to be one of the best restaurant deals around, but not only that, it feels good to dine here, because your meal provides the students with valuable hands on experience.
So what is it like to dine in a training restaurant? Well, we had dinner at TAFE NSW Campbelltown and were really impressed.
Inside the dining room there's no hint that the restaurant is a training environment. The tables are beautifully set with cutlery, wine glasses and crisp white tablecloths. Just after we arrived, a little warm cheese tart was delivered to our table. This delicious little melt in the mouth pastry was devoured before we even thought about taking a photo. But we did manage to capture our gorgeous bread rolls which are all hand made by the bakery students.
Our entree choices included modern Australian classics such as Seared Diver Scallops on corn puree with a lime and chilli Salsa. We also shared a plate of "tender as" Spice Rubbed Lamb with herbed couscous and tomatoes drizzled in basil oil.
For mains, we opted for the succulent Free Range Chicken, a grilled chicken breast served on a bed of creamy mashed potato with wild shiitake mushrooms and jus. This was served with a fresh rocket and orange salad which complimented the earthy flavours of the shitake mushroom. We also ordered Crispy Skin Barramundi in herb butter with creamy crab risotto.
We chose the White Chocolate Tart and Frangelico Hazelnut Brulee with roasted strawberries and biscotti for dessert. Our creme brulee was torched to perfection, we cracked the caramelised sugar and dipped the biscotti into the silky custard underneath, just divine!
It was a work night for us so we just had the one glass of wine included in our meal, a Sacred Hill Cabernet and Chardonnay. Additional of wine, beer or spirits are available at very reasonable prices. Wine is also available by the bottle.
It's hard to top a good meal but the students had one more surprise waiting for us. On our way out we found a little pop up bakery in the foyer. While we drooled over the pastry cabinet we chatted to another couple who had just snapped up a delicious looking black forest cake. They told us the bakery is an added bonus when the pastry classes are running. The cakes and biscuits were way too tempting, we left with a box of chocolate eclairs and 4 rhubarb pies.
The student's careers are already off to a great start, they should be proud of their food and service at Restaurant Macarthur.

The Ridgeland Streak Continues
Not only is the Ridgeland Football team Region 6AAAA Champions, they got to host the first round of State at home, and won! There were worried that the team that put Ridgeland out during the first round of State last year, St. Pius, would win again but the Panthers were not having that. It would be Ridgeland who scored the first touchdown of the night, but St. Pius fought back and scored two touchdowns in a row. Before half time started, Ridgeland tied up the score making it 14 all. During the second half of the game, two of Ridgeland's vital players were injured, Stephon Walker and Grayson Moore. Walker went up for an amazing catch, but immediately suffered from a torn ACL and could not finish the game and later found out that he is out for the season. Right after Walker's injury, Moore was diagnosed with a concussion from a tough play, but that would not stop the Panthers. Ridge land came back and scored one final touchdown that would put them in the lead at 21-14. Everyone was on the edge of their seats during the last few minutes of the 4th quarter as St. Pius had the ball. Both sides of the bleachers were going crazy and hoping that the game would not go into over time. Tanner Hill relieved everybody's stress when St. Pius' quarter back threw the ball to the 20 yard line and Hill got an interception. The crowd went wild as Hill ran the ball almost all the way back to the Panther inzone. Ridgeland once again gets the home field advantage this Friday night as they take on Spaulding and continue their way to the Dome.
The Year of the Panther
Ridgeland fall sports seem to be doing very well this year as Softball and Volleyball both battle their way into the Elite 8, and the Football team remains undefeated. Tuesday night, the Lady Panther Softball team took on Woodward Academy and swept them away in a 11-1 and 13-0 victory. They will advance to the Elite 8 and travel to Columbus on Wednesday Oct. 26. The Volleyball team also took home a win Thursday night against Troup with a 25-17, 25-19, 25-18 win, which put them in the Elite 8 for the first time in 14 years. The Volleyball team travels to Roswell, Georgia Saturday Oct. 22 to take on Columbus in the first round.
Softball fights their way into 6-4A Semi-finals
All it took was two games (11-5, 4-1) for the Lady Panther Softball team to fight their way into 6-4A semi-finals against county rivals, the Ramblers. The Lady Panthers are in the number one seed (16-7) and they will host the winner of the Heritage and Northwest game.
- Ridgeland 11, LaFayette 5
The Lady Panthers quickly took the lead with two runs in the bottom of the first inning, and collected 5 more runs in the second inning. LaFayette quickly bounced back with a five run inning. Morgan Crawford provided 2 runs with her sixth home run of the year. Allison Wallin worked into the sixth inning, and was then subbed out for Crawford, who finished the game. Haley Sandridge had an amzing game, going 4 for 4 with a single, 2 doubles and a triple. Kiera Foster had two singles and add to Ridgeland's 13 hits.
- Ridgeland 4, LaFayette 1
Ciera Foster got a RBI single in the top first, but LaFayette quicly battled back and scored a solo run on an RBI single by Yancy. Katie Carruth scored a home run on a groundout by Sandridge. Davis helped out in the sixth inning by making an outstanding diving catch in foul territory to prevent LaFayette from scoring. But things got real in the fifth inning when singles hit by Hannah Blevins and Marquila Howell and a bunt by Mckenzie Houge loaded the bases. Crawford struck out Madison Harris, but Kayleigh Goff managed to hit a high chopper that landed just perfectly to bounce off the plate. The Lady Panther catcher Cortney Mooneyham caught the ball and forced Blevins to be out and then threw the ball to Grayson James at first base for the inning-ending double play.
The Lady Panthers will advance and play the winner of the Heritage v.s. Northwest game right here at home.
Volleyball Senior Night
It was senior night here at Ridgeland for the Lady Panther Volleyball team. There are nine seniors on the team this year, six who have played together since they were in middle school.
The two team captions are Te'a Owens (out side hitter) and Taylor Williams (setter). The rest of the seniors are Shanna Burk (defensive specialist), Jesse Owens (defensive specialist), Morgen Simmons (defensive specialist), Haleigh Fogtman (middle hitter), Jamese Miller (outside hitter), Shelby Medlin (defensive specialist), and Zady Carden (middle hitter).
Ridgeland, the eighth-ranked team started the night off with a 25-17, 25-20 win over sixth-ranked team LFO. While Ridgeland had a sweet victory over LFO, they just fell short of the win against Gordon Lee.
"Obviously you don't want to lose on Senior Night, but to get a chance to play a really good team like Gordon Lee before we have to go into our area tournament may end up beings a blessing for us. I know I have a team that can compete, but it just depends on if that team shows up this weekend. LaFayette will be tough to beat, especially at their place," says head coach April Lemonds.
Te'a Owens finished the night with 27 kills, 20 digs, and six aces, while Taylor Williams had 44 assists. Haleigh Fogtman added 16 kills, while Zady Carden and Jamese Miller both had seven kills each. Along with the offense, defense was on fire as well. Morgen Simmons recorded 16 digs, followed by Jesse Owens who had nine digs, Shelby Medlin with eight, and Shanna Burk with six.

DiGi announced the opening of its first DiGi BlackBerry Store. The move from DiGi is indeed a very smart decision as BlackBerry seems to be one of the most preferred gadget in Malaysia The first of its kind store in Malaysia is a result of a collaboration between DiGi and RIM to bring a BlackBerry-centric consumer experience to Blackberry fans in Malaysia. The 1,100 sqft store is located at the DiGi flagship store at the DiGi 360 Center in SoHo, Mont Kiara.
DiGi sees BlackBerry as a strong contender in the mobile devices market in Malaysia despite RIM's poor financial and sales performance this year. DiGi's Head of Retail, Patrick Er says that BlackBerry has a strong product roadmap and a large base of over 1.5 million BlackBerry users in Malaysia, a market in which DiGi wants to strengthen its position.
At the same time, Patrick says that the DiGi BlackBerry store will support "the local BlackBerry user community by providing a spot where BlackBerry enthusiasts can converge, learn and share their BlackBerry experience with each other."
DiGi and RIM also plan to have monthly BlackBerry related activities at the store.

Depending on what kind of site you have and what kind of content you are writing, it may be helpful to determine and consider the readability of your content. How well do your sentences flow?

21 Ways to Attract New Readers and Keep Them Coming Back
Increasing traffic, it's a quandary faced by anyone who runs a blog. The only thing harder than acquiring new readers is converting them into regular visitors. Follow these 21 tips to get new readers and keep them coming back for more.
1. Follow a Posting Schedule
One of the first things people look at when they visit a blog for the first time is the publish date of recent posts. If the last post was two months ago red flags go up and readers won't bother checking back for new content. Even if your budget limits you to one post a week or twice a month, keep a regular schedule to show that you're committed to the content.
2. Respond to Comments
New readers want to know that you listen to comments and aren't just churning out posts. By responding to comments you start a discussion and make them feel appreciated. This shows that you're connected to your blog and what people say on it. Plus, it's a great way to build new relationships.
3. Keep Content Relevant to Your Target Audience
As you continue to build your credibility in your niche, keep content relevant to your readers. Your returning fans will stop coming back if they think they have to dig through pages of articles that don't relate to them. While writing off-topic once might drive new readers to your blog, they won't come back when they see that the coverage they came for was a one time thing. For example: someone who runs a knitting blog and writes an article on cats will bring cat-lovers to her blog, but they won't stay to learn about different types of yarn.
4. Set Up an Easy-to-Use Comments Section
Readers don't want to go through a 10 step process to comment on your article. If people enjoyed filling out lengthy forms, they'd spend more time at the DMV. Not only does a complex comment process dissuade readers from talking about your post, it's what they remember your blog by if they return. By using a streamlined commenting process, new readers can feel like their voice is heard without getting aggravated.
5. Brand Your Content
If you're starting a new blog, your posts should take on some resemblance of unity. In the same way that it's important to stay on a posting schedule to show readers that you're reliable, publishing consistent content that's on-brand and in a similarly branded format will show that you're an authority and know what you're doing.
6. Start a Series
This is a helpful way to bring new readers back to your blog at least one more time or keep first timers clicking through your internal links. Be sure to note in the first part of your series when the next part will be, "Come back next week to read Part 2…" and link back to previous parts as your series progresses, "As we talked about last week in Part 1…" Readers will want to follow the series or click-back to catch up on what they missed.

Her is a link to the minimalist baker website. They have created an amazing series of videos to help you set up and customize your foodie child theme for food bloggers. I think these videos might even help with setting up other genesis themes as well.
Microdata and Schema.org
This morning I partook in a webinar on metadata for publishing through Digital Book World. One of the websites mentioned at the end of the webinar was schema.org
Here is an excerpt from their homepage:
Many applications, especially search engines, can benefit greatly from direct access to this structured data. On-page markup enables search engines to understand the information on web pages and provide richer search results in order to make it easier for users to find relevant information on the web. […] A shared markup vocabulary makes it easier for webmasters to decide on a markup schema and get the maximum benefit for their efforts. So, in the spirit of sitemaps.org, search engines have come together to provide a shared collection of schemas that webmasters can use.

Theme Overload
Selecting three themes to talk about was a difficult task for me as the amount of themes available for WordPress seems never-ending. I first came across the Port theme, which I took notice of because of the moody look of the title page. Reading further, I found that it had a lot of advanced features, such as being responsive to whatever device you are viewing it on. It also has the flexibility of being able to use to showcase your past work, as portfolio site.
The next theme I came across was a theme called the Workality theme. This theme was simple to look at, while at the same time allows you to showcase a lot of different content in one screen.
My favorite theme was also the most simple, the Counterpoint theme. This theme is simple, yet clean. It doesn't place a lot of emphasis on fancy pictures and graphics. It seems, at least from first glance to be focused on the content, which is what I'm more interested in.

There's a day for just about everything, and if you're fond of smoking pot, you'll be pleased to know that April 20th is National Weed Day.
Also known as Marijuana Appreciation Day, the annual event celebrates all things pot, including celebrations throughout the more tolerant parts of North America.
The date of National Weed Day (4/20, or just 420) relates to a term used to describe the smoking of pot. According to Wikipedia:
The term originated from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, United States in 1971. The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue.
The biggest National Weed Day events are held at the University of Colorado, Ottawa, Vancouver, and several towns in New Zealand.
