We are told, with very good reason, that insulation should have a vapour barrier on the warm side. But which is the warm side of the wall of a house? It changes from summer to winter, even from day to night. If it is 20F below zero outside, the inside of an occupied house is certainly the warm side. During the summer months, when the sun is shining, the warm side is the outside.
Sometimes the novice will try to put vapour barriers on both sides of the insulation however vapour barriers on both sides of fiber insulation generally prove to be disastrous. It seems the vapour barriers will stop most of the moisture but not all. Small amounts of moisture will move into the fiber insulation between the two vapour barriers and be trapped. It will accumulate as the temperature swings back and forth. This accumulation can become a huge problem.

Are there any anime suggestion engines?
In the past, I've used apps that have suggested films, books, or music to me based on a set of items I've enjoyed that I provide to the app.
Is there anything like that for anime? Basically I'm looking for something in which I can input that I like anime X, Y and Z and for it to suggest that I might like anime A because it has similar themes, or because other people who like X, Y and Z have also said they like A.
Anime-Planet and MyAnimeList have user submitted suggestions for shows on a "if you liked X, you might like Y" setup.
As a developer myself, this is something I've wanted to look into making, and MyAnimeList seems to be the most common site to be used for an engine as they provide an API to programmers.
There's also a new anime cataloguer Hummingbird which gives you a range of recommendations based on what you've watched, what genres you like, which are your favourites. It seems to be the easiest to access and isn't soley show-specific.
Other Sources Other websites which provide anime have recommendations engine built in, Usually these are based off of what similarly interested people have enjoyed also.
You just type any anime you like, e.g. "One Piece" or "Hunter x Hunter", and it shows you a bunch of similar animes from which you can choose whatever catches your eyes, I guess.
graph.anime.plus is a great analyser for your myanimelist profile.
On top of giving you a great deal of information on your habits and breakdowns on what you've listed it appears to just trawls through your favs and pulls the mal recommendations (it'd be damn cool if itI've found a damn cool tool that finds similar-minded people and recommend things you haven't seen that they liked).
Then again in the end it all depends on your own taste´s.
There aren't really dedicated "suggestion engines" for anime. your best bet is looking through places like [MyAnimeList] or [AnimePlanet]. Otherwise, you can go through something like this, scroll through to something that has genres you like, and look for whether or not it is highly rated.
In the end, there are plenty of websites you can go to that will give you info about series, recommendations, suggestions, etc., but nothing with a dedicated system. Just use a bunch'a different sites, and you won't go wrong.
AniDB also has a recommendation feature. To use it, you need to add the series and episodes you watched to your AniDB MyList. Most importantly, you also need to rate the series from 1 to 10 (10 being best).
The system then uses some hidden algorithm based on what you voted and what others voted and thereby predicts your votes for series you have not yet watched. You can even remove recommendations from the prediction list if you say ‘I’m not going to watch that, stop telling me I’m going to rate it with a 9’.
Note that for recommendations to work best, you should attempt to vote in a way that puts your median at 5.5 and resembles a standard distribution. While the system ‘corrects’ votes for overall series ratings, if you use exaggerated votes you will also receive exaggerated vote predictions (such as 13, which is obviously larger than 10).
You can use affinity.animesos.net to search for other people that share your tastes (based on mal's affinity).
Wow, someone with >95% affinity! Click their name to see their profile, then simply click the "~ shared" link.
I recommend sorting by score and first looking at what you two agreed on and what you didn't to be able to gauge where their tastes will apply to you, then just scroll down to the "Unique to [them]" section to add some of their favourites to your plan-to-watch!
Disclosure though; see how the affinity search said we only shared 11, yet mal says we share 79? Mal includes the unscored entries as items able to be common between people.
Here's a link to the comparison page, we might not be a great pair to extrapolate our opinions to each other.
So I bumped the search requirements to only use people with 50 shared titles, and that dropped my closest match to 69% affinity, but have a look at our comparisons page.
This should be a much more useful match to find new anime, especially if I work my way down the result list and see any titles that continue to pop up in a lot of peoples lists. Good luck!
Is there a succinct list anywhere of all the general genres of anime?
Are there any resources about the inspirations of Miyazaki in making Howl's Moving Castle?

How is Nutrition Important For Good Health. What nutrition improves longevity?
How is Nutrition is Important For Good Health.
The best foods that are good for your health are lots of fresh vegetables, some fruit, nuts, seeds, grains like oats, quinoa, and beans. The top fats that are good for our heart, brain, and blood are avocado, olive oil, and coconut oil.
Easy ways to make your eating habits healthy: Change anything white on your list to whole grain, oat, and brown. For example try barilla plus pasta, try Joseph flat bread, wild rice OR brown. Increase your fruit/vegetable intake, mostly vegetables.
Typical items on my grocery list: Zucchini Eggplant (eaten baked or raw), bananas (snack), sunflower seeds (salad topper or on their own as a snack), salad veggies (lettuce, spinach, mushrooms, baby corn, black olives, etc.), whole-wheat pastas, hummus, brown rice, ... That's mostly it--The majority of my meals are grain- or vegetable-based.
These days most of the food we consume is incredibly sugar rich, from candy to cake, to soda and ice cream. Sugar is poison and there's no question about it being as addicting as any drug. We find sugar it's in the form of process sugars like High Fructose Corn Syrup which can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and heart attack. So fruits are a much healthier (and natural) source of the sugar we love and crave.
But even too much fruit can be bad, so moderation is key!

Dec. 2, 2013 | OUR Walmart, the non-union group arguing for labor protections, confirmed that protests were held at 1,500 stores on Black Friday to protest pay and calling for a minimum annual salary of $25,000 and better health care for hourly workers. (The average worker makes $8.81 an hour, forcing many to rely on taxpayer-funded public assistance programs to make ends meet. ) The protests took place in large cities — Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Alexandria, Va. and D.C., Boston and Orlando — and stores in smaller cities and towns like Lakeside, Co., Granbury. Tx., and Hyattsville, Md. The company brought in $17b in profits last year. More at CBS News. Related: DC area Walmart workers, community supporters join protests.

Of course, Fox has a nauseating record on climate science as well.
A Dickinson University study a couple of years ago showed that watchers of Fox news, when tested, knew even less than those who watched no news at all. Negative IQ’s. I’d’a said that was IMPOSSIBLE, but in today’s America…?
I remember stumbling over a segment on climate featuring Joe Bastardi a few years ago on Fox. It was a real “what the f” moment for me. He didn’t even make sense, let alone convey any useful information. If that was the sole source of climate information for viewers, it could certainly damage your I.Q.!
Then quit already. These people don’t realize they are working for a propaganda outfit? Sheesh. Any minimum wage job in the USA must be more respectable than working for FOX.
Well, that’s a relief. For a moment there, I thought this coverage affected the moral sensibilities of actual people.

For those staying in the workforce: better health (cognitive and physical) and finances, more social engagement and higher life satisfaction “Early retirement appears to have a significant negative impact on the cognitive ability of people in their early 60s,” wrote Age Boom Academy speakers Susann Rohwedder, associate director of the RAND Center for the Study of Aging and Robert J. Willis, a University of Michigan economics professor, in a 2010 academic article. And “complete retirement leads to a 23% to 29% increase in difficulties associated with mobility and daily activities,” according to a paper by Ursula Staudinger, founding director of the Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging Center; Age Boom Academy director Ruth Finkelstein and other researchers.
For the U.S. government: more income taxes, Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes and a stronger economy The longer people continue working, the more they provide tax revenues and the more they're likely to spend.
Only 5% of U.S. companies offered a formal phased retirement program, according to the 2016 Society for Human Resource Management survey. Phased retirement is one of the 10 “age smart policies and practices” on Finkelstein’s list of them. “Flexibility” is another.
Make workspaces more amenable to older workers, especially blue-collar ones. BMW famously spent just $50,000 to overhaul one of its assembly lines in 2007 and make it more older-worker friendly (adding chairs, enlarging computer screen typefaces, that sort of thing). Productivity rose 7% and absenteeism dropped from 7% to 2%.

Do you want to benefit from the tax savings that result from supporting LHPS, yet you don't want to give up any assets that you'd like your family to receive someday? You can have it both ways with a charitable lead trust.
A charitable lead annuity trust pays a fixed amount each year to LHPS and is more attractive when interest rates are low.
A charitable lead unitrust pays a variable amount each year based on the value of the assets in the trust. With a unitrust, if the trust's assets go up in value, for example, the payments to LHPS go up as well.
George would like to support LHPS and provide for his children. George received a windfall amount of income and needs a large income tax deduction to offset the income. Following his advisor's recommendation, George funds a grantor charitable lead annuity trust with assets valued at $1,000,000. George's trust pays $70,000 (7 percent of the initial fair market value) to LHPS each year for 15 years, which will total $1,050,000. After that, the balance in the trust reverts back to George. He receives an income tax charitable deduction of $854,311. Assuming the trust earns an average 6 percent annual rate of return, George receives approximately $767,240 at the end of the trust term.
Contact Susan Clayton at 407-206-1900, Ext. 3345 or sclayton@lhps.org to talk about supporting LHPS by setting up a charitable lead trust.

O/W emulsifiers enable the formation of stable oil in water mixtures that are used in many personal care products including facial care, body care, sun care and decorative cosmetic products.
An O/W emulsifier is a type of surfactant typically used to keep emulsion well dispersed. Emulsifiers typically have a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic end.
They can be used for the manufacture of oil-in-water emulsion preparations.
They provide excellent emulsion stabilization.
Eumulgin®, Cremophor® and Cutina® types are used as O/W emulsifiers and cream bases in many cosmetic applications e.g. in facial care, body care, sun care and decorative cosmetic products.

Evidently our hero Mr Ibbotson seems to have struggled on this occasion, but that's not the point I'm making.
There are few people I would trust with say flying a family member across the UK in something like a PA28, and would be more inclined to have an experienced PPL whos been at it years take them, than some idiot who trained in Poland/Sweden on the cheap with all the bells and whistles and ticks in boxes who can't fly for toffee.
Not sure of what point you're making, Ibbotson N264DBs pilot on this flight never had a CPL or even an instrument rating. He meets your family member chauffeur 'safer' criteria of being a several thousand hour PPL though. So from your posting above a PPL pilot who flies under conditions they're not trained or qualified for, is safer to fly your family than a low time CPL holder trained from early hours to adhere to SOP's, weather, ATC airspace requirements etc etc.
We see relatively few accidents where the main causal factors are professional commercially qualified low hours aircrew making poor choices. However when you look at 'high' houred PPL accidents where poor decision making has been a significant factor in the event, theres more than enough examples, the one involving N264DB comes to mind.
I didn’t mention anything to do with poor flying conditions or flying outside their licence privileges. Merely, in the case of ferry flying, paradropping, aerial survey etc there are probably much more capable PPLs for the job than CPLs. Not in every case, but my point is that a CPL isn’t the be all and end all of piloting skills for certain roles - putting aside the legal aspects.
I have found all the info I was looking for on Dave Henderson and he is without doubt a very experienced long distance ferry pilot.
He has flown from the UK to Japan and similar ferry’s and there must be some sort of error on the FAA database which is why I could not find him.
I have no doubt that if he had flown Sala that night the tragedy would not have occurred.
and there must be some sort of error on the FAA database which is why I could not find him.
That's quite an assumption. We should not dismiss other possibilities that are open to conjecture until facts are known.
In this grubby business nothing would surprise me.
Why has Henderson disappeared from view? It seem it's more than he's just choosing not to say owt, rather he's gone to ground. Why?
I have no specific knowledge of this case, but would imagine that he has taken legal advice and, whether or not he has done anything wrong, line one of that advice would almost certainly have been that he should say nothing in public.

And quite a few of said CPLs are quite willing to fly Dodgy charters too. Decision making isn't limited just to PPLs either.
I would suggest that ones career and training, whether it be in Aviation or not steers us into good and not so good decisions.
Making a PPL/CPL a director of a company involved in renting Aircraft, so that he can rent on shared costs, then get profits from the Company is also legal. So PPL rents aircraft from Company at £350 an hour. Cost shares and pays £10 an hour towards flying with the passengers on a shared basis. Flies 2 hrs. £700 to Company. Pilot as director gets £220, £200 profit for a PPL.
If so, is it it "right"
Nope, none of it is right. The FAA "common purpose" rules are the way to go and banning outfits like Wingly as well.
Is it legal and how many are doing it?
I agree It's not right, but if the CAA make an AOC so bloody difficult and expensive, what do we expect?
On the understanding that the second question is not rhetorical, I would offer the following comment.
If something is not affordable and it would involve breaking the law to obtain it then one must not obtain it. Take for example being offered one of these latest highly sought after mobile phones. If you are offered one at your regular watering hole really cheap and it turns out to have been knocked-off, could you be accused of being a receiver. Perhaps not the same thing will apply to flying services, but for sure you would know that it is cheap and any sense and reason should raise some doubts in your mind whether it is dodgy or not. If you are offered cheap fags, will you not suspect that they may have been smuggled.
Turning onto the matter of AOC`s being difficult and expensive to obtain, does that not show that it is for the sake of safety that it is. Should these legit operators who provide such services cut corners,cheat, fiddle, employ PPL`s, not carry out maintenance, fit bogus parts and do anything and everything to reduce costs to such levels so as to compete with rogues and put them out of their illegal businesses once and for all.
So, no I don`t go along that the root cause for unlawful acts is cost. That the blame may be laid on prohibitive cost of goods and services. If that would be sufficient to say excuse a thief, a cheat, a fraudster, then we might as well throw away all our law books and close all our prisons and turn them into housing of which we are in such short supply.
Some say laws are made to be broken and some do subscribe to that. But those who make a lifetime habit of it invariably do come a cropper sooner or later. Unfortunately in some cases their habit does have an impact on some unfortunates who have innocently been involved in their habits of dodging and diving.
As far as I can understand the whole mess, my conclusion is that it seems the regulatory authorities limited resources have so far been more focused on those who operate legitimate businesses and not enough on the unregulated sectors. I can only hope that this tragic event will be the catalyst for future change.
Some say laws are made to be broken and some do subscribe to that.
That is absolutely correct and is precisely why it has been cited.
The other reason why I have used it is within the context of "risk", which has been a feature of some of the discussion on this particular issue.
Not a matter of changing the law, but flaunting it. And when that is evinced enforcing it firmly and with all its power and weight upon the offender.
I hear from a reliable source the ill fated aircraft was used on a regular basis flying jockeys to racecourses.

First of all I would like to say to all people who doubt: Marion really makes your wishes come true!
Because of that, as Marion writes on her homepage, be careful what you wish for, because it could happen!
I want you to thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I think we weren’t an easy case. But you believed in us from the beginning and gave me courage all those months. Man has to learn to be patient and to believe and to continue further, no matter what’s happening.
Of course there were many disappointments and you had to be sometimes also strict with me so that I wouldn’t give up. But I earned what I had wished for!
Sometimes I cannot believe it yet, that we are really together and of course it isn’t sometimes easy, but we are growing together in our relationship.
Once again thank you for your work and your thoughtful support!
You have your place in my heart and I’m looking forward to meet you personally.

It's your elbow! If you're only planning on shoeing for just a week or two, don't worry about it. IF being a farrier is your career and a few hundred horses are depending on you for their podiatry comfort, that elbow's got to last a long time!
There's never been anything to equal the Anvil Stump! Travel friendly and easy on the arm, nothing takes out the vibration yet retains as lively as an anvil. The Anvil Stump's light weight, adjustable aluminum legs make packing up and moving to the next stable a breeze. You don't have to bolt it, chain it or use hydraulic clamps to keep it where it needs to be! Just drop your anvil between four aluminum anvil lugs and beat hot iron to your heart's content. Your elbow will thank you in the morning!

The Florida Panthers came in 10th in the east last season and were in the race all the way till the end. This list will go by order of importance.
Barkov stays healthy- I believe along with Aaron Ekblad that Barkov is the future of this team. Hes a big 2 way center that can score pass defend and control the puck.Barkov has had some difficulty staying healthy through the beginning part of his career, and really had a break out last half to the season along with Jagr and Huberdeu.
Nick Bjustad and another player need to reach 30 goals- Last year what the Cats were lacking in most was a consistent goal scorer. Nick is a big goal scoring center man that most likely will hit the 30 goal mark this year. Along with Bjustad another player needs to reach 30. Most likely it will be sniper Brandon Pirri or former Calder winner Jonathan Huberdeu.
The blue line stays healthy- We can assume the Iron Man Brian Campbell will play his 5th straight 82 game season, but others like Guddy, captain Willie Mitchell, Kulikov, and Kampher need to stay healthy to give Loungo some help.
Loungo stays strong- Bobby Lou is at the tail end of his career at 36 years old. Loungo had a great season last year earning a spot on the all star team and helping the Panthers become the most improved team last year.
Ekblad wins the Norris- Aaron is only in his sophomore campain, but the 19 year old has already become 1st ovr pick, all star, and Calder winner. Watching this kid play the game is poetry in motion he is a rock defensively using the body and the stick. Hes a great offensive player also scoring 37 points in his rookie season witch is 3rd all time for a rookie dman behind Hall of Famers Phil Housley and Bobby Orr. I think he for sure has what it takes to get the award this year but no doubt will be in the running every year for maybe the next 10 years.

I wanted to include something about gathering and socializing as you do your projects. I think that is at least half the fun of creating - sharing and connecting.
Now, the coolest part about this is that she lives in Minnesota (I'm here in Michigan), and she's never actually been to a class. And yet, she "got it". She really understood that one of the best parts about Stampin' Up and papercrafting is gathering friends (both old and new) and family together and sharing this passion that I have with them. I have as much (if not more) fun spending time with the gals in my classes and connecting with them as I do creating and preparing my projects. That's why I chose the new title for my blog - Gathering Inkspiration - because I love that I can gather a group of gals together to get inkspired (I mean inspired) by ink, paper and stamps! And, as I'm sure you can tell from my blog posts, I find inspiration from so many other talented, creative Stampin' Up! demonstrators out there. Now tell me.... What do you (th)ink?? or.... What do YOU ink??

We absolutely love when our customers challenge us to "think outside the vase" by bringing in an unusual vessel in which to arrange cut flowers. This could be objects that reflect the theme of a party, a treasured family heirloom or even represent an inside joke! Some of our favorites to date have included a mini apple crate, a collection of sherry glasses and even a Nalgene bottle! For your next event take a peak around your home and see what everyday objects can be transformed into imaginative vases! To inspire you, we've posted some of our favorites!
Delicate and summery, arranging in shells can be a real fun summer project and fantastic centerpiece for the beach house.
Vintage tins can usually be found with exquisite colors and patterns that naturally complement cut flowers. You can save your used tea cans or look on www.Etsy.com to purchase some.
What's more fun than a tropical centerpiece arranged in a fresh pineapple?
similar to the pineapple-vase are these three bell pepper vessels, for a genuine "from the garden" feel.
As always, we'll be here at the shoppe to create your ideal fresh floral arrangement and we cant wait to see what you bring in!

We praise and thank You that You alone are God – there is no other! You are the Creator. You are the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father. You are the Prince of Peace. You are the Lion of Judah. Jesus, You are the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. You are the Lord Who Sees. You are the Lord Who Provides.
Teach us to see how high, exalted, and lifted up You are. Teach us to see that we do not have Your wisdom and how lowly we are in comparison to You. We have no goodness in ourselves. We are totally dependent on You to have anything good in us. We have worth because You made us in Your image and because You love us.
Help us to see ourselves and You rightly. Help us to learn to lean on Your wisdom and not trust our own human understanding. Open our eyes to our pride and sin. Bring us to godly sorrow and genuine conviction. Let us hate sin the way You hate sin. Let us love You wholeheartedly by the power of Your Spirit. Let us love others with Your love pouring through us. Let us love You far more than anything or anyone in this world. Let us be willing to lay down our lives and all that we are and all that we have for You. You alone are worthy of this kind of devotion.
Teach us Your ways. Bring us deeper into faith. Mature, refine, prune, and grow us to become mature and complete, lacking nothing in Your service. Use us for Your glory! Your will be done in our lives and on this earth and Your kingdom come!

HAPPY FOUNDERS DAY TO ALL OF OUR ALPHA CHI OMEGA SISTERS!
Today, October 15th, we celebrate the 128th anniversary of Alpha Chi Omega. The photo above shows our founders: Anna Allen, Olive Burnett, Bertha Deniston, Amy Dubois, Nellie Gamble, Bessie Grooms, and Estelle Leonard. These real, strong women were music students at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. As a group, they sought “friendship, artistic society and advancement of the ‘principles of true womanhood’”. Currently, chapters all over the country are still seeking to keep that same friendship and true sense of womanhood alive!
This past Sunday morning, the women of Alpha Chi came together to meet up with some of our amazing alumnae for some coffee and treats at our Annual Alumnae Brunch. Below are a few pictures of some of the families in our fantastic Iota Phi Chapter!
With the help of friends, family and the amazing Greek life at Quinnipiac, our 16th Annual Frisbee Fest was a complete success! The ladies of Alpha Chi want to thank everyone who came out and helped support our efforts in the fight against domestic violence. Also, congratulations to the men of Sigma Phi Epsilon who won the overall Frisbee Tournament!
This semester the women pictured above have been working incredibly hard to put together an amazing curriculum for our Fall ‘13 New Member class. From left to right we have Marina Bello (Assistant VP of New Member Education), Shelby Weston (Orientation Chair), Nicole Sparapani (Mystagogue), and Melissa Chighisola (VP of New Member Education).
This past Saturday, the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega took a trip to Hickory Hill Orchards in Chesire! This trip was planned as a sisterhood bonding activity by our VP of Membership Programming Suzanne Falconer. Between the amazing weather, our fantastic sisters and the beautiful colors of the changing leaves, the Iota Phi chapter is embracing the Fall season with open arms!
This past Saturday the sisters of Alpha Chi attended Quinnipiac’s first ever “Fall Fest”!

Below are some pictures of our sisters having an amazing time at the event.
September Alpha Chi Sisters of the Month!
Congratulations to Alpha Chi Omega’s three sisters of the month for September- Nathalie Donaldson, Tori Kryla, and Casey Bayne! Thank you three for continuing to seek the heights every day and going above and beyond for our chapter!
Alpha Chi Omega once again had another successful recruitment season this fall semester! It has officially been one week since Alpha Chi welcomed home 52 absolutely amazing new sisters. Recruitment was two weekends full of long nights, early mornings, countless conversations, new friendships, and of course lots of laughter and memories that our sisters will never forget. Our chapter couldn’t have been more proud to welcome home our newest members at bid night last week and we are looking forward to bonding with these fabulous women over the next semester. We know our fall ‘13 class is going to lead Alpha Chi Omega to amazing things in the future and we can’t wait to see what each these women bring to our chapter! Our chapter also owes a huge thank you to our Vice President of Recruitment, Nicolette Illiano, and the rest of the recruitment committee for all their hard work. You ladies did an amazing job. Once again congratulations to our new members and all the other sororities at Quinnipiac on another successful recruitment season! Check out some pictures from Alpha Chi’s two weekends of recruitment!

We look forward to seeing all of your beautiful faces and we wish you the best of luck in the upcoming semester!
This summer two lucky Alpha Chi sisters were given the opportunity to attend the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institution in Indiana with many other Greeks from around the country. You all read about Christie’s amazing experience earlier this summer. Now it’s time to hear all about our VP of Membership Programming, Suzanne Falconer’s experience!
"This summer I was given the opportunity to attend UIFI (Undergraduate Intefraternity Institute) by scholarship thanks to Quinnipiac Greek life! I had no clue what I was getting myself into or what I would be doing all the way out in Indiana but I trusted my sisters and Greek friends that already attended that claimed it was the best. I spent 4 days in a gorgeous Alpha Xi Delta sorority house at Indiana University with about 80 other Greeks from around the United States.
UIFI is not your average leadership conference. It was very intimate, engaged and active. Rather than sitting in front of a speaker just listening, we had the opportunity to speak, ask questions and start discussions between our peers. We mainly discussed leadership and WHY we are leaders instead of HOW to be a leader. “Start With Why.” Is something I am bringing back to my chapter at Quinnipiac – rather than how to do a certain event or our ritual, we need to focus more on WHY we do it and what makes it important to us as a person and as a community.
My favorite part of UIFI was meeting incredible, strong people that are so similar to myself. I may have been the only Alpha Chi at UIFI but I never felt “left out". We proudly wore our letters everyday but they didn’t matter, what mattered was how we represented our letters. We are all leaders but every single person helped each other in different ways. I know from this experience that I have support from friends and fellow Greeks all the way west in Seattle, down to Virginia and even close to school in New Jersey. We stay in touch and are readily available to help each other out as much as we can.
After attending UIFI, I can certainly agree with my fellow sisters and Greek friends that it was definitely one of the best and worthwhile experiences in my life thus far. I urge any Greek member of Quinnipiac University to apply for this when you have the opportunity to do so. You will have the chance to learn valuable leadership skills and lessons to bring back to our Greek community at Q."
What’s a better ending to a long day in the office than meeting up with your sisters? This summer many of Alpha Chi sisters have been spending their weekdays interning and working in New York City. Some of our sisters were lucky enough to meet up a couple weeks ago to end their days with dinner and bonding at Midtown 1015. They were even joined by some of our fabulous alumn!
Earlier this summer, two sisters of Alpha Chi traveled to Bali, Indonesia. Both Brittany Lerner and Teresa Santos joined their QU 301 class, ‘How Yoga Can Change the World’, for a 10-day yoga retreat. The main objective of the class trip was to experiment detoxing their bodies and testing if everyone ate healthier and practiced yoga would the world be a better place? Brittany shared with us that she first chose to enroll in this class because she had taken yoga in the past and felt a connection to the form of exercise, plus when would she get another chance to visit Bali! In addition to the class’s daily yoga practices, Brittany and Teresa participated in many different activities and adventures including community service at a local school, painting, shopping, visiting temples, and experiencing a water ceremony with a High Priestess. Brittany’s favorite part of the trip was hiking through the rainforest to a waterfall that is considered to be a temple. She shared with us that the hike was very challenging and required everyone to actually get into a river and hike upstream. She said the experience was an amazing bonding activity for her class because it forced everyone to work together in order for everyone to make it to the waterfall. Both Brittany and Teresa said that going to Bali was a trip of a lifetime and they feel so lucky that they were given the opportunity to experience a different culture so different from their own.
This summer one of our sisters, Suzanne, is lucky enough to be studying at the University of Tampa in Tampa, FL. Suzanne has shared her experience down in the sunshine state thus far with us!
"This summer I am taking a lecture and lab at the University of Tampa. Even though I am so far away from my sisters at Quinnipiac, at UT I was able to feel right at home when I walked in the door of admissions. The first person I ran into was a sister that is in the Gamma Pi chapter of Alpha Chi Omega at University of Tampa. Right away she gave me a huge smile! We started talking about Greek Life at our schools and it seems to be that Greek Life at Quinnipiac is very similar to Greek Life at University of Tampa. It is about 20% of the schools’ population with 7 fraternities and 6 sororities. They even have many familiar letters that we see at QU such as Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Tau Delta, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Zeta Beta Tau. I will be taking my classes for six weeks, July – August, and hopefully I will have some sisters in my class!"
Good luck in your classes Suzanne and we can’t wait to for you to return to QU in the fall!
This summer a sister of Iota Phi had an amazing opportunity to travel to Greece with QU 301. We asked Nicolette to share her experience with us below!
This summer I traveled to Greece with my QU301 class. We spent two weeks on the islands of Crete, Santorini and Athens and got to fully emerge ourselves in true Greek culture. This trip was my first time in Europe and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything from the food, beaches, people and everything in between was perfect. We visited a lot of historical places including the Acropolis, Palace of Knossos and the island of Spinalonga, which used to be a leper colony. We got to experience traditional Greek meals and dancing and enjoyed a few days on the beautiful beaches with crystal clear water. We also hiked the Samaria Gorge, which was a difficult but rewarding experience to say the least! The lifestyle in Greece is so laid back and fun loving, unlike anything in fast-paced America. My favorite part of the trip by far was the time that we spent in Santorini. That island is without a doubt my new favorite place in the world. The view, especially at sunset, is so gorgeous it doesn’t seem real. Everything on the island looks like it would be something out of a postcard, that’s how perfect it is. I left Greece with some amazing new friends, a few Greek words, a better tan than I already had, a new outlook on life and the hope to be able to return sometime very soon.
This past weekend two of our sisters, Nikki Barrett and Melissa Chighisola met up at the Dave Matthews concert. We love seeing so many of our sisters getting together and bonding over the summer months! We hope you ladies had a great time!
This past weekend two Iota Phi’s, Victoria Formica and Lily Keegan, traveled to Hartford for a conference with the Connecticut Education Association- Student program. The new executive boards for all local chapters including Quinnipiac, Eastern, Southern, Central, Western, and University of Connecticut were in attendance in addition to the CEA-SP executive board. Throughout the weekend attendees bonded, learned how to properly run their organizations, and brainstormed events for the upcoming school year. Victoria said “it was a unique experience because we were able to get to know and network with student leaders across the state”. Victoria is the new Vice Chair for the CEA-SP and Lily is the new secretary for the Quinnipiac Future Teachers Club.
Nicole Del Mauro of Iota Phi Becomes an Alpha Chi Resident Consultant!
The Iota Phi chapter would love to take the time to congratulate Nicole Del Mauro who will be a Resident Consultant for Alpha Chi Omega at the University of Arizona for the next year!
We all love you Nicole and wish you the best of luck as you continue to inspire those around you!
This past weekend Alpha Chi Omega went country. Some of our sisters turned in their office attire for cowgirl boots and hats and got together to enjoy some fun and country music at the Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan concert in Mansfield, MA.
With finals coming up, the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega took time out of their busy schedules to take a study break and bond with fun activities!
Read all about how our sisters teamed up with the Panhellenic community to celebrate Earth Day by cleaning the Sleeping Giant!

On March 1st, the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega celebrate Hera Day in honor of our patron goddess. On Hera Day, Alpha Chi Omegas give personal service for the happiness and well-being of others.
After a successful recruitment weekend, Iota Phi is proud to present our fabulous new member class! We welcomed 46 amazing girls into the chapter last night at our bid day celebration. We cannot wait to see all the great things each and every one of these girls does for our chapter!
From February 11th through February 15th, Alpha Chi Omega will be recognizing Healthy Relationships Week. As Alpha Chi Omegas, we dedicate ourselves to raising awareness of domestic violence. The goal of this week is to foster the development of healthy relationships and by so doing, prevent domestic violence.

Last night, our sisters gathered to bond over delicious food and Pitch Perfect at our Pinterest Potluck. We has a great time enjoying all the treats our sisters made, while laughing hysterically at Fat Amy’s crazy antics. It was ACAMAZING! We love any chance to spend a night bonding with our sisters over food and laughter. Also, what better way to gear up for recruitment than with a full stomach?!
On January 4, 2013 our chapter President Taylor Buatti and our Vice President of Philanthropy Victoria Formica traveled to Indianapolis, Indiana for Alpha Chi Omega’s Leadership Academy. Leadership Academy is a chance for all chapter presidents across the nation, along with one other executive member, to come together and learn how to be effective leaders. The topic for this year’s Leadership Academy was ritual.
We are so proud to have women like Taylor and Victoria who can represent the real, strong, women of Iota Phi all over the nation.

Abroad & Back: Welcome Back Alexi, Chelsea, and Paige!
The ladies of Iota Phi would like to welcome back three of our sisters who were abroad last semester: Alexi, Chelsea, and Paige! Alexi traveled to London, England for a semester. She was also fortunate enough to travel around Europe to other cities like Paris, France. Chelsea boarded a ship and traveled throughout the Atlantic Ocean for Semester at Sea! She was able to go everywhere from Ireland, to Greece, to South Africa, and even to the Amazon! Paige studied in Barcelona, Spain for the semester. She fell in love with Spain throughout her travels and also visited many other cities like Rome, Italy. We are so happy that our sisters were able to travel safely and make so many wonderful memories abroad.

On November 28th at 9:15 PM the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega hosted a meet the sisters event in the upper café. Women interested in joining Greek life came to learn why they should “aspire to wear the golden lyre”. This event ran for about an hour and consisted of decorating holiday cookies, drinking hot chocolate, and meeting some fabulous women! Thank you to everyone who came to this event, we loved meeting you and are so excited to see you come out for Formal Recruitment!
Kelly Obermeier, one of our Alumni from Alpha Chi Omega at Syracuse, as well as a Law grad student at Quinnipiac, came to our formal chapter a few weeks ago to give a presentation on several topics on criminal laws that she deals with being a defense lawyer. She chose some topics that could really relate to girls our age in college. The topics included laws and consequences for the state of CT for DUI, possession of marijuana, reckless driving (texting and driving and falling asleep while driving), as well as underage drinking. The presentation was about 30 minutes long with 10 minutes of Q and A. This information is really important to know to keep everyone in check with the CT laws and consequences of certain situations. We were so thankful to have Kelly come and educate our sisters about these topics!
Last Sunday, Iota Phi held our annual Elections! This is always an exciting night at chapter where we have the honor of listening to our sisters give speeches about why they are passionate for running for a certain position on our Executive board. After listening to all of the speeches, members voted for incoming executive officers and non-executive officers of various positions. After the votes have been counted, we are pleased to announce the 2013 E-board!
A sincere CONGRATULATONS to all of the amazing women who have received positions! We couldn’t be more proud of the dedication you have already demonstrated, and we cannot wait to see what you do for the future of our chapter!

Two weeks ago, the Northeast experienced a storm unlike any that we have experienced before. Hurricane Sandy left behind devastation that will take months, if not years to recover from. Many families, homes, towns, and businesses have been affected by this storm; and we especially can’t forget about our sisters living in areas in New York and New Jersey that will continue to suffer from its effects directly.
In the next month, Iota Phi plans to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Sandy, and with that money we plan to come together and make blankets that will keep those who may have lost their homes warm during the upcoming winter months. The “Hugs and Kisses for Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser” idea was created by one of our senior sisters, Traci Mann. This fundraiser is still a work in progress, however we are so grateful to have sisters who are constantly seeking the heights, and are willing to go out of their way to find out how our chapter can help.
Stay posted as to how you can help us raise money for this cause!

On October 27th, women from Iota Phi volunteered to help out with Beecher Road School’s Halloween party in Woodbridge, Connecticut. This was an excellent opportunity for members of our chapter to bond with community members, while playing games with the children, helping them do crafts, serve food, and more! What better way to spread the Halloween spirit than with the young children of a local community?
We are so proud to have sisters that are so involved with the community outside of our own at Quinnipiac.
Thank you to all of the women who helped to make this event a success!

This month Alpha Chi Omega celebrates two national holidays, Founders Day and Province Day. Both of these holidays are near and dear to our hearts, and when celebrated each year they remind us of how important these days are not only to our chapter, but to Alpha Chi Omega as a national organization. Founders Day is every October 15th, and celebrates the founding of Alpha Chi Omega as a sorority which was originally founded on October 15th, 1885 at DePauw University. Province Day is is a day each year where chapters from neighboring states can join together to celebrate the bond of our sisterhood, form new ones, meet alumnae, and learn about the direction that Alpha Chi Omega is headed with our philanthropy and as a whole. This year, the 6thAnnual Northeast Province Day is being celebrated. It is being hosted on Saturday, November 3rd at Holyoke Community College. We hope to see you there!

Two sophomore members of Iota Phi, Madison Elliott and Gabriella D’Agostino are campus ambassadors for “The Intern Queen”. Lauren Berger, CEO of InternQueen.com is the founder of “The Intern Queen” which is an online website that helps college students search and apply for internships, while also helping to educate young people on how to make the most of their experiences before they enter the real world. Maddie and Gabbi both are responsible for writing monthly blogs, promoting the Intern Queen brand among Quinnipiac’s campus, participating in monthly conference calls and more. Although these ladies became ambassadors in two different ways, they both shared a common interest in Lauren Berger’s presentation at Quinnipiac last February, and this is what inspired them to become a part of the team.

This fall, one of our sisters Alexi Prenetta is studying abroad in London for the semester. A few weeks ago one of our alumnae Lindsey Diana was going to London for a business trip to work the Markets Media first financial conference and reached out to the chapter to see if we had any sisters studying abroad that would be willing to help out at the event since they were short volunteers. When Lindsey found out that Alexi was studying in London, she contacted her to see if she would be interested in helping out a sister. Alexi was excited at the opportunity to help a fellow Alpha Chi, and assisted Lindsey directing clients on where to go and helping check them in. “I loved meeting Lindsey. We were able to discuss Alpha Chi and learn about each others experiences. She gave me pointers and was really fun to work with” said Alexi. She also said that “This experience never would have happened had I not joined Alpha Chi”. Alexi said that she had a great time at the event and was able to meet a lot of high profile financial speakers and learned a lot about the event planning business.This story shows that the bond of Alpha Chi goes above and beyond, and that is what makes our sisterhood so special.

On Sunday, October 7th Iota Phi held their 15th annual Frisbee Fest on the Quad. Frisbee Fest is Alpha Chi Omega’s main philanthropy event that raises awareness to support the fight against domestic violence. This successful campus-wide event raises thousands of dollars each year and the money is donated locally, to the Domestic Violence Services of Greater New Haven. Frisbee Fest honors an Alpha Chi fallen sister, Elizabeth Pernel, who was killed in a domestic violence dispute. Students, Faculty, Family, Friends, and community members and even Pernel’s family were all in attendance on Sunday, where there were various activities. These activities ranged from raffles, a photo booth, dunk tank, BBQ, the infamous “pie an Alpha Chi” and the main event, the Frisbee Tournament. The members of Quinnipiac’s very own Sigma Phi Epsilon were this year’s winners of the tournament, and were proud to take home the golden frisbee.
This year, Alpha Chi had the opportunity to dedicate a piece of the event to Lavern Brown, a Quinnipiac Chartwells worker who was killed by his girlfriend just last week. Attendees were invited to paint their pinky’s purple at a table honoring Brown, and were encouraged to sign a pledge against domestic violence.
Thank you to everyone who helped to make this event such a success!
Iota Phi’s annual Alumnae Brunch was hosted this Saturday, October 6th. Alpha Chi alumni were invited to spend the afternoon at Quinnipiac’s Rocky Top with the current lifetime members where they learned about what the chapter has been up to, and of course, brunch was served. Every year this event brings an exciting opportunity for the alumnae to meet the newest additions of the chapter, and for the newest members to meet alumnae that they have not yet had a chance to meet. Of course, it also is great to catch up with old friends and make new ones!
Thank you to all of our alumnae that came to the brunch on Saturday, and we hope to see you again next year!
This September, Arielle Ziering and Rosie Cerri, two Alpha Chi seniors had the chance to go to Washington DC with four other Occupational Therapy (OT) majors. From September 23rd to September 25th the girls got to participate in the American Occupational Therapy Association Capitol Hill Day. They went there to promote their profession and present changes to legislation for OT.
When speaking about her decision to attend, Rosie said “I decided to go because I wanted to learn more about my future profession and get that out of classroom experience that I usually don’t have the chance to experience”. She met two women who have been practicing occupational therapy for 30 years who shared a lot of advice with the girls about life after graduation in the practicing field. Arielle said she was able to learn about members of the state representatives. She also was allowed the opportunity to speak directly to the representatives about occupational therapy, a topic which she says she feels “very passionate about”.
One of the greatest lessons the girls said they learned was how hard it is for legislation to change. But being apart of Alpha Chi Omega, these women are used to making changes every day, because Arielle and Rosie are already real strong women.
Congratulations to Victoria for being chosen for this great opportunity!
Muffin Mondays is a new Alpha Chi event that has been implemented this semester. We will be reaching out to the QU faculty to show our thanks and appreciation by delivering baskets of Muffins on Monday mornings to each of the academic schools of Quinnipiac. It is a nice way to say thank you to the faculty for all that they do for us. Many of these faculty members show support for Alpha Chi by attending AXO events, donating to our fundraisers and philanthropies, chaperoning formals or serving as faculty advisors. Without their time and support, our organization would not be what it is. Thank you to our faculty for everything you do for us!

On September 17th, we held our first Meet the Sisters event of the semester. We met some amazing girls and got to teach them about the fight against domestic violence and our upcoming fundraising event, Frisbee Fest while decorating frisbees that will be displayed at the event. If you are interested in joining Greek life come to our next event October 22 in the upper cafe!
This summer, our VP of Philanthropy Tayor Buatti applied to Oprah’s “100 women, 100 shoes” sweepstakes. We are proud to announce that she was selected as a winner! She won 100 pairs of Crocs that will be donated to our charity, the Domestic Violence Services of Greater New Haven. The e-mail from Oprah Magazine stated “We at O, The Oprah Magazine, together with Crocs, truly believe your charity is a worthy cause and are thrilled to help you kick-start your charitable project”. We are beyond honored that Taylor won this amazing contest, not only for our chapter but for the victims of domestic violence that we support in New Haven. Congratulations to Taylor for continuing to seek the heights!
On Saturday, September 8th, Iota Phi left for a weekend retreat at Camp Jewell. Despite the tornado watch and rainy weather, all of the women made the best of the experience while restricted to indoor activities the day they arrived. Many of our sisters crafted, while others bonded amongst themselves in their cabins. Sunday’s weather made up for the lack of sun the day before, and outdoor activities commenced as the ladies were able to go boating, swing on the rope swing, do the high ropes course, learn archery, and much more. Although the first day’s weather was a letdown, there is no denying that this experience bonded our chapter as a whole and it is safe to say that everyone had a blast!
On Wednesday, August 29th, the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega set up their table at the involvement fair with the rest of the Greek Life community. The involvement fair is intended for most incoming freshman and other students looking to get involved on campus. Every student organization that the school has to offer is allowed to set up a table to promote their organization. Alpha Chi had the chance to speak with some amazing incoming freshman and transfer students looking to get involved. We met girls from all over the campus that were really interested in Greek life, and others who had never really thought about it. We look forward to getting to know all these amazing women who signed up on our email list at our upcoming meet the sisters events! If you are interested, our first event is on September 17th from 9:15-11pm in the upper cafe!
This summer, twelve members of our chapter left for the experience of a lifetime. Our newly-annual philanthropy trip allows Iota Phi to travel to Barbados to visit a domestic violence shelter there. Our philanthropy, the fight against domestic violence, is near and dear to our hearts and this trip gives us the opportunity to further our connection and passion for such an amazing cause.
While they were there, they were able to spend time with the women and children living at the shelter, help decorate children’s playrooms and even help to paint the shelter! They also met with The Business and Professional Women’s Club that established the shelter, and Chargé d’Affaires in order to discuss the role of women in Barbados. This trip is unique to our chapter, and gives our sisters an empowering feeling to be able to help victims of domestic violence internationally.
Alpha Chi Omega National Convention!
This Summer Alpha Chi Omega held it’s 58th bi-annual convention in St. Louis, Missouri from July 13th to the 17th. Two fabulous women, Michelle Moratto and President Lauren Ottulich, from the Iota Phi chapter had the opportunity to attend this year. Hosted in the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Mayor Slay (whose daughter is an Alpha Chi Omega!) declared July 13th “Alpha Chi Omega Day” when welcoming the sisters on opening day. Over 130 collegiate chapters attended the convention along with over 200 alumnae chapters. Michelle and Lauren were privileged enough to meet Judy, Alpha Chi Omega’s eldest sister, who just attended her 25th convention!

My name is Sarah Ahmad, I graduated in May of 2009 and I was part of Classy ’06.
While a member of AXO, I served as VP of Risk Management and VP of CRSB. As an alumni, I did participate as a member of the Lambda Nu Lambda alumni chapter in Connecticut.
I am currently living in Charlotte, North Carolina and in my second year of law school as a full time student. Most of my family lives in Connecticut, so I am up in the area a few times a year.
My biggest take away from AXO is my sisters. My best friends in the world are Alpha Chi’s and I am so lucky to have them a part of my current life, with most of us living in various parts of the country.
College was the most precious time of my life, but AXO made it the best time of my life. Take it from someone in their second year of law school, I have been out of college for almost three years now, and still I would give anything to go back to that time.

To those of you who I have not had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Jessica Franca, or Jessica Canhao, as I was better known to my pledge class, Classy ’06. I graduated in the Fall of 2008 with a Bachelor’s in Science and continued at Quinnipiac’s Physical Therapy program.
I was the Vice President of Intellectual Development and then Historian throughout my time in Iota Phi. The Ladybug family can attest that I was one for the books throughout college and that is partially why I enjoyed my position so much. I loved being able to help fellow sisters having trouble with their classes, whether it involved sitting down with them to think of a study plan or planning out extra study hours so they could allot a certain time to schoolwork. Even though I was very driven, I still made time to participate (more so in the beginning I will admit) in bonding events like socials and fundraising events. I tried to make time for my little and grand little as much as I could before I left. However, I found out soon enough that the time was much too short.

On April 29th, about 50 of our sisters attended Milford’s annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes. Our team got second place in the fundraising category with over $1,000 raised! We were joined by hundreds of men wearing dresses, wigs, and 6-inch high heels. We had a great time promoting awareness for this wonderful cause that is near and dear to our hearts. We look forward to hosting Walk a Mile in Her Shoes here at QU next spring!
This Friday, April 13, Alpha Chi Omega initiated 51 new members into our chapter. The grace, leadership, scholasticism, responsibility, and maturity these 51 ladies possess, gives the rest of our chapter so much pride to finally present them as our Alpha Chi Omega sisters! It is with great honor we present to you the new Spring Class. CONGRATUALTIONS!
Wednesday, April 10th, was Big/Little Reveal,one of the most anticipated events of the semester. The New Member Education Committee coordinated the event and it was a huge success. The littles received gifts and hints from their bigs the week leading up to the reveal.

I graduated in 2006 with a B.A. in history and in 2007 with my M.A.T. in secondary education.
Spring ’04 did not have a class name but we still sometimes refer to ourselves as ALFP which was an inside joke between some of the class members.
I LOVED being in Alpha Chi. I was extremely involved with CRSB during my time in the chapter and also served as the VP of it.
I am currently planning my wedding for August of this year and in the middle of buying a house on Long Island. I have been working as a 9th grade math teacher for the past 4 years.

Liz Vargas’ Trip to Nicaragua!
This past March I went on my second Alternative Spring Break Trip to Nicaragua. The trip is comprised of 10 days in which we stay with a host family and work on projects in the impoverished village of La Ceiba in the areas that the people express need in. This year’s project was to build a new classroom for an elementary school that only had 2 classrooms made of linked fences for walls and a tin roof held up by sticks. We built the classroom from scratch, having to make tools from the limited resources we had around us. Building the classroom included clearing the area, digging the foundation, making the cement, filling the foundation, making the rebar support towers, and laying the cinderblocks to make the walls. At the end of the week we completed three walls and the foundation. For me, the best part of the trip are the relationships I have built with my host family and the children and families of La Ceiba. They have helped me just as much as I have helped them and have taught me invaluable lessons that I look back on every day. My trips to Nicaragua have truly changed my life and I am already counting down the days until I go back.

My name is Caroline (Harned) Beers, I graduated Quinnipiac spring of 2007 with a degree in journalism.
I joined AXO in spring 2004, our class did not have an official “name” – I think we started naming classes with spring 05 (fab 05). Our class was fairly small compared to the larger new member classes I saw while in AXO, we were about 15 girls strong and called ourselves “forever 04” later on because we were so close and also “ALFP”, as a ’04 class joke.
Alpha Chi is what made my college experience so memorable. As a new member I met the most wonderful group of women who later on in life became my best friends and bridesmaids. Our class was so close; we had many late nights, long talks and shared countless memories as new members. It sounds corny but as a freshman who did not did not exactly “love” her roommates having a close knit class and welcoming chapter was the perfect way to kick off spring semester.

Birmingham Group Health Services hosted The Bowl2Benefit on April 1st. Our new member class raised donations which were given to the foundation and participated at the event by forming bowling teams. Money raised went to assisting domestic violence victims in the Greater New Haven area. "The benefit was a great bonding experience for the new member class. We worked together to help make this beenfit successful and had a great time bowling with one another!" said freshman Rachel Goulart.

Contact with Alumnae, Meghan Howell!
One of our members, Joanna Hein was assigned to do an interview project for one of her business classes. She ended up making an amazing contact and interveiwing one of our alumnae, Meghan Howell!
Hello Everyone! My name is Jessie Brown and I graduated from Quinnipiac’s Liberal Arts College in 2010 with a bachelors in English and then again in 2011 with my Masters in Secondary Education. I was a member of the Lucky ’07 class of Alpha Chi Omega.
My experience in Alpha Chi began even before I received a bid. My big ( Ali Quinn) was my orientation leader and from the moment I saw the spirit AXO had brought her life I knew I needed to be part of an organization that not only associated with each other but really came together to stand up for what they believed in. I remember being the first new member in 2007 that raised a hand at chapter ( without asking pretinence WHOOPS!) and announce the AXO Holla Ms. Alpha Chi T-shirt I designed, and from that point forward I only involved myself more in the chapter each year. I held positions such as VP of Education, Asst. VP of Education, Junior & Senior chair of CRSB, Poster Chair, T-Shirt Chair and Song Chair.

On Sunday, February 19th Alpha Chi Omega shared the 1st degree of Initiation with our newest members at Chapter. This is a special ceremony that we hold close to our hearts. Each new member received a carnation and an “Alpha” sister who presented each new member with a framed symphony. Receiving the symphony during the 1st degree of Initiation is special and important so that the new members can learn it as they go through their new member period. Now that the new members have completed the 1st degree of Initiation, they are one step closer to Initiation on April 13th!
On Friday, February 10th, Quinnipiac University Panhellenic began a 3 day long Recruitment weekend and welcomed their newest members on Bid Day, Monday the 13th. Alpha Chi Omega is proud to have 56 new fabulous new additions to our Chapter! Recruitment weekend was full of late nights, stress, and lost voices, but the feeling of having the new members run under our arch on Bid Night made it all worth it. We could not be more excited to see all of the amazing things these women do for our chapter!

I am Jillian Dougherty and I graduated in 2005 with a degree in Marketing. I am a member of Classy '06!!
I was the VP of Membership Development, President, and then I was formal chair as a senior. I truly enjoyed each position as they were all challenging in their own way.
My biggest lesson and best advice is you have a committee for a reason, utilize them, delegate the tasks at hand and assist when needed. In my first few weeks of being VP of MD I hardly picked up a book for schoolwork. I was so hands on instead of learning to be a leader. Learn to trust your sisters, they will get the job done.

"P.S. I Love You Day"
The women of Alpha Chi Omega at Quinnipiac University decided to support an effort of suicide prevention last week by promoting awareness for "P.S. I Love You Day". "P.S. I Love You Day" was started by a girl who lost her father to suicide. Her last words to him that day were "I love you".

Labour leader Joseph Muscat said this morning that former deputy leader Anglu Farrugia was still 'very relevant' to the PL and he could, if he wished, contest the next election.
Dr Farrugia resigned from PL deputy leader yesterday.
His resignation seems to have been forced on him after an article in The Times about his speech on Sunday revealed the name of a magistrate he accused of political bias.
Magistrate Audrey Demicoli had acquitted a man of vote rigging in the March 2008 election. Her judgment was overturned by an Appeals Court, which found the restaurateur in question guilty of threatening to sack one of his employees if she did not vote for the Nationalist Party. The restaurateur was fined €800.
In his two-page resignation letter (see pdf link below), which Dr Farrugia has now made public, he says that he has lost confidence in Dr Muscat.
He says his speech on Sunday had been well received by Dr Muscat and also the public but following the article in The Times which revealed the magistrate’s name, Dr Muscat contacted him abroad, where he was on a brief his holiday with his family and asked him to resign.
In his letter, Dr Farrugia tells Dr Muscat he felt he should resign as it did not seem that Dr Muscat had understood anything of what he wanted to say.
He also said he did not feel he should contest the next election but would remain an honest and true follower of the party.
Asked by timesofmalta.com about Dr Farrugia's statement that he (Dr Farrugia) had lost confidence in him, Dr Muscat said he understood that Dr Farrugia was hurt but he wanted to assure him that he was still relevant.
The PL's door, he said, remained open to Dr Farrugia and if he wanted, he was welcome to contest the next election.
In a clear jibe about how the PN handled Franco Debono, Dr Muscat said that he still considered Dr Farrugia as “a very relevant person” and “the Labour party’s door will always remain open to him”.
“If Farrugia wants to contest the next election the door is always open to him,” he said.
On who will take Dr Farrugia vacant post, Dr Muscat said that in the coming hours the party will show that it is able to make a good choice which will ensure a real change in the country’s direction.
Dr Farrugia's resignation letter can be read in the pdf link below.

Seasonal allergies impact millions of people and can be experienced seasonally at the onset of spring or autumn, during the summer, or even in the winter. Conversely, they can be chronic allergies with symptoms that last all year. Allergies can be triggered by a range of allergens, such as dust, mold, pollen, food, dander, insect bites, specific materials. They are often associated with inflammation, itching, and redness, sneezing, coughing, congestion, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes, headaches, nausea, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. Allergies may also be experienced topically in the form of hives, eczema, or dermatitis.
Although allergies do not have any cures, there are ways to help keep their symptoms under control, and Essential Oils may offer respite when used to complement traditional allergy treatments. Essential Oils can be valuable year-round, not only for their scents – especially those with bright, cheerful, and invigorating fragrances – but also for the anti-bacterial property that many are reputed to exhibit, which helps to facilitate recovery from seasonal complaints. Furthermore, many of them are known to help ease stiffness, body aches, and spasms that may arise.
Popular Essential Oils for seasonal allergies include citrus oils, which have calming scents that are said to have mood-boosting and uplifting effects on the mind, thus helping to decrease the sense of emotional stress that comes with physical suffering. Oils with cooling qualities, such as Eucalyptus and Peppermint, are commonly used to address other common symptoms of allergies, as they have clarifying, expectorant, energizing, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory qualities that are reputed to reduce respiratory discomforts and body aches.
Breathe Easy Synergy Blend: Made up of Ravensara, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Laurel Leaf, Peppermint, and Cardamom oils.
Immunity Synergy Blend: Made up of Orange, Lemon, Tea Tree, Rosemary, Frankincense, and Eucalyptus oils.
Invigorating Synergy Blend: Made up of Rosemary, Juniper Berry, Lemongrass, Nutmeg, Fir Balsam, Pepper Black, and Lemon oils.
Vitality Synergy Blend: Made up of Lavender, Lemongrass, Mandarin, Patchouli, Geranium Egypt, Ylang Ylang, and Juniper Berry oils.
Relax Synergy Blend: Made up of Blood Orange, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Patchouli, and Ylang Ylang oils.
Several, if not all, of the oils in these lists are known to improve the mood, promote rest and easy breathing, eliminate allergy-inducing bacteria, as well as comfort aches, inflammation, and irritation. They can be diffused, diluted in a warm bath, used to make a room or fabric freshener, incorporated into a candle formulation, applied as a roll-on personal scent or body spray, or be added to a massage oil blend, among various other applications.
To create a small roll-on blend, start by selecting a small number of oils to combine, such as 3 Essential Oils, and 1 Carrier Oil in which to dilute them. For a 10 ml roller bottle, simply add 2 drops of each chosen Essential Oil to the vial and fill the rest of it with the Carrier Oil. Next, cap the bottle and shake it well to ensure that all the oils have been thoroughly combined. To use it, simply stamp or roll a small amount of the blend onto the preferred area of skin, such as the wrist, and allow the fragrance to naturally waft.
To create an oil blend that can also help to target allergy symptoms, consider adding one or several of the abovementioned essential oils to a diffuser blend, roll-on blend, scented bath, or any other application method; however, it is recommended that massages be avoided during an illness, as they are reputed to increase the likelihood of the symptoms becoming aggravated.
To create a Spring Massage Blend, use any of the abovementioned Essential Oils, which are uplifting, refreshing, and immune-enhancing. A recommended dilution is 3-6 drops of a preferred Essential Oil or Essential Oil Blend in 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of a preferred Carrier Oil. A recipe for a full-body massage could take 3 tablespoons or more, subject to the area of skin being massaged as well as the length of the massage. To enhance the soothing quality of the personalized Massage Blend, consider including Essential Oils that have distinctively soft, sedative, reassuring fragrances: Bergamot, Chamomile, Geranium, Helichrysum, Lavender, Neroli, Sweet Basil, and Ylang Ylang.
As with all other New Directions Aromatics products, Essential Oils are for external use only. It is imperative to consult a medical practitioner before using these oils for therapeutic purposes. Pregnant and nursing women are especially advised not to use Essential Oils without the medical advice of a physician, as they may have effects on certain hormone secretions and it is unclear whether these effects are transferable to babies at these stages of development. These oils should always be stored in an area that is inaccessible to children, especially those under the age of 7.
Those with the following health conditions are especially recommended to be advised by a physician: cancer, heart-related ailments, skin disorders or allergies, hormone-related ailments, or epilepsy. Individuals that are taking prescription drugs, undergoing major surgery, or who are at a greater risk of experiencing strokes, heart attacks, or atherosclerosis are also advised to seek medical consultation prior to use.
Prior to using any Essential Oil, a skin test is recommended. This can be done by diluting 1 drop of the Essential Oil in 4 drops of a Carrier Oil and applying a dime-size amount of this blend to a small area of skin that is not sensitive. Essential Oils must never be used near the eyes, inner nose, and ears, or on any other particularly sensitive areas of skin. Potential side effects of Essential Oils include redness, rash, hives, burning, bleeding disorders, decreased speed of healing, low blood pressure, dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhea, convulsions, and rapid heartbeat. In the event of an allergic reaction, discontinue use of the products and see a doctor, pharmacist, or allergist immediately for a health assessment and appropriate remedial action. To prevent side effects, consult with a medical professional prior to use.

Perhaps the finest of its genre, dozens of these richly detailed, porcelain enamel and neon spectaculars were distributed to Howard Johnson's franchises in the early 50's. This sign was restored by Davidson Neon in 1989 after years of service in Jacksonville, IL. It now graces Philadelphia Architectural Salvage, Ltd, a non-profit resource for recycled building materials.

This blog will combine two of my least favorite things: talking about myself and sharing photos of myself. The only reason I am willing to do both of these things publicly is because, in the long run, it will save me from telling the same story over and over to people, which is worse to me than putting it on the interwebs.
The following blog contains pictures of a somewhat graphic nature. If you’ve read my blogs regarding my motorcycle collision back in 2011, then you should be fine with a few iPhone pics without any blood in them.
Back in June of this year, I attempted to make an appointment with a dermatologist for my yearly skin cancer check up. Having recently switched insurance providers because of the frugality of my employer, I am now a member of Kaiser Permanente (an HMO), where I was told I could not see a dermatologist until I saw my primary care physician, then he would have to determine whether I merited a referral to see the elusive dermatologist. Jumping through hoops is one of the signature moves of an HMO, and there is never a direct line from point A to point B.
So I jumped through hoop number one and scheduled a physical with my primary care physician. All was good, but I mentioned that I wanted to see a dermatologist, and he said his nurse would take a picture of any concerned spots on my body and send them to a dermatologist. Once again, I was not able to just make an appointment with the specialist, even after jumping so successfully through hoop number one.
Pictures were taken, time went by, and eventually I was honored enough to receive a phone call from this elusive dermatologist. She did not like what she saw in one of the photos, so I was now allowed to schedule an appointment with their department. Granted, by the time this happened, it was now October (four months since I tried to see one on my own). I went in, she cut a chunk of my cheek out where a mole had lived forever, and she sent it off to the lab.
The lab results came back positive, and I officially became a statistic of a melanoma patient with skin cancer. Fortunately, it was just that one section, but the piece removed was so deep it required further surgery to be sure that everything bad had been taken out.
All of a sudden, I was being told that time is of the essence, which of course it extremely ironic, because if Kaiser had just let me see the damn dermatologist back in June, then this talk of time would be irrelevant and I would have been healed by now. I also found out that the doctors on Maui could not perform the surgery I required and that I would have to fly over to O’ahu to have a specialist perform this delicate procedure.
More of this precious time slipped away, as I had to go to O’ahu to meet the surgeon, get information on the surgery, and figure out when it could be performed. Emily and I had our trip to Houston scheduled for the following week, then Thanksgiving, so now the surgery was pushed back until the beginning of December.
The surgery was this whole big production involving nuclear medicine, radioactive dyes, multiple incisions, and removal of five lymph nodes in two locations on my head and neck. Had I taken it a bit more seriously, I might have found myself a lot more scared and nervous than I was at the time. Fortunately, I try not to take too many things in life seriously, and in this case, I think that was a positive aspect.
Moving forward, the surgery was performed, I was released the same day, but we stayed on O’ahu overnight and revisited with the surgeon the following day. He was happy with the incisions and the way the skin around them was healing. He suggested we stay on O’ahu for a week, in case the results of the surgery came back positive and he had to perform another surgery, but as soon as we left his office, we went straight to the airport and caught the next flight home to Maui, where I proceeded to sleep for nine hours, versus the three the night before.
A day later I got the great news that all the material taken out of my face and neck had come back from the lab as negative, meaning no cancer. So life is good, things will eventually get back to normal, and I will have some killer scars to add to my life’s story.
I have included the photos below, so enjoy them if you can and know that no pain pills were consumed by me. The stitches are due to come out Wednesday, December 12th, so wish me luck!

The cover for the New Yorker’s new fiction issue is illustrated by Loveis Wise.
THE LATEST EDITION of The New Yorker features a black mother and child on the cover. The image by Loveis Wise illustrates the magazine’s new Fiction Issue, a double issue dated June 4 and June 11. Wise, who graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia less than a month ago, is making her New Yorker debut. The young artist is also making history. The 93-year-old magazine is not in the habit of hiring African American women to illustrate its renowned covers. Wise is only the second to be tapped for the assignment.
This year, the annual Fiction Issue includes a profile of critically acclaimed novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and assembles stories about “parenting, childhood, and the ties that bind both.” In response to the theme, Wise envisioned a maternal image placing her subject in a thriving, natural environment. Titled “Nurture,” the illustration depicts a mother kneeling as she waters lush plantings. She wears a printed scarf tied around her natural hair and holds her baby secured in a baby sling.
WISE GREW UP IN WASHINGTON, D.C., where she regularly visited the Smithsonian with her father. She fell in love with art wandering the galleries of the museums. She inherited her unique moniker from her great-grandmother, whose first name was also “Loveis” and she credits her grandmother with the nod to nature that is ever present in her work for clients such as the Poetry Foundation, Refinery 29, and BuzzFeed, in addition to The New Yorker.
“My grandmother was also into gardening; it brought her a lot of peace. She wanted to share that with us. She had a little garden in her back yard, and we’d help her on weekends. It was a way for us to bond, and also a way for us to connect with our environment, the community we grew up in. I wanted to draw from that nostalgia a little,” Wise told Mouly in a conversation about the magazine cover.
In school, Wise explored a range of mediums, from gouache and oil paintings to graphite and woodcuts before realizing illustration was her calling.
I love this cover! I was sad when I pulled the address label off and it took some green color with it. This lovely piece of art is more than an illustration and one that I would really like to frame. I eagerly opened up to the contents page to see what it was named. Nurture! That is perfect.

If you think about it, nothing seems to grow without some resistance applied to it first. Very often, it’s the adversity in our lives that cause us to stretch out of our comfort zones and forces us to look for new ways of coping. If you are facing financial issues, it’s a perfect opportunity to ask how to either cut debt or make more money. If you are facing relationship issues, it may be a great opportunity to discover why you respond the way you do, or why the other person responds the way they do.
–Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, then worked very hard at his craft and earned a scholarship to play from North Carolina before winning 6 NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls.
–Abraham Lincoln unsuccessfully ran for public office many times before finally becoming President of the United States.
–Oprah Winfrey endured a rough and often abusive childhood, and then she faced numerous career setbacks including being fired from her first job because she was unfit for TV. We all know what she has achieved since!
–Dr. Suess had his first book rejected by 27 publishers before achieving his dream.
Here is something else to think about: At times, the thing that we are destined to do is something we haven’t even tried yet. All of the examples I cited above are people who at one point hadn’t even tried the thing where they experienced their ultimate success. We have to be willing to fail before we succeed. That may sound counter-intuitive, but it’s true. We don’t appreciate what we have unless we experienced the hardships that preceded them.
In a nutshell, no matter what the adversity is, the level of thinking that got us there will not be the level of thinking that will solve the issue. Anything worth having will not always be easy, but remember one very important thing—don’t give up!

This article will give your some cruise information and tips that you can use as you take for your first cruise. However, before you get some helpful cruise information, be sure to book your tickets first.
After booking your cruise ship tickets from Cruise Hive, here are some valuable cruise information that you ought to know.
In addition to booking expensive cruise tickets, you can also expect that all the things that the ship offers and all the things that you see are costlier than when you see them outside of cruise ships. Now, if you will be buying anything from inside the cruise ship, expect that they will be charged on your sail card. Now that you know this, you have to be fully aware of all the things that you are buying that can be found in the cruise ship. Know more about travel at this website http://www.ehow.com/travel/.
With cruise ships, you will be taken from one holiday destination to another. From this information alone, if the cruise ship you are in will be stopping over these locations, you should only take tours of the island or the travel destination using taxi services. Some cruise ships will be offering their passengers with touring services. This is a good choice of you have a hefty amount of money with you for the entire trip but if you don't, you will most likely be spending more than usual.
For savvy-cruise ship passengers, it is wise to tell your booking agent that you will be riding on the cruise ship once more as you might end up being offered by them some discounts. Most if not all agencies look forward to dealing with repeat customers for sure sales and that is why they will even offer you some incentives for still choosing them.
Once you make sure to follow all of these tips at www.cruisehive.com/costa-maya-mexico-here-is-what-you-can-do/23060, you will be more than amazed to even make your stay more memorable with just the right amount of money to use the entire time. And for you to really get the best deals even during the time you book your tickets, it pays that you compare one cruise ship from another before booking them. Make sure to choose your cruise ship wisely. For future discounts and incentives, be sure to find a good booking company that will offer you all the good stuff during your next cruise ship plans as their return customer.

Mooglii is all about how Indians eat at home and on their streets. It was born to feed the raw need Indians have for tiffins full of fresh bright intense flavor. Mooglii is not about the intimate, hushed dining experience. It is about the smash and grab zing of healthy, light, virtuosic herbs and spices.
The simple dishes of a Mooglii menu are a million miles away from the curry stereotype. These dishes convey the truth that real Indian food is extremely healthy, often vegan and always packed with fresh flavor.
While ordering food customer finds hard to live track the driver’s location assigned to the ordering. Similarly admin too finds hard to track drivers and vice versa.
But by using Teliver things becomes easier. Using Teliver problems resolved. Using Customer application they can live track the driver’s location assigned to the ordering.
All the online orders and list of available drivers with their locations can be viewed by admin via his application. Admin can assign tasks to the nearest driver.
The task will reach as notification to the driver via his application and the driver can accept or reject the task.
Thus Teliver, a customized solution helps Mooglii to works it’s online order and take away in a straightforward and trouble free manner.
Role of Teliver in Mooglii/ Why we chose Teliver?
As a beginning period, company we must be exceptionally prudent with our assets. While we wanted tracking as a core feature in our app building that technology capability is cumbersome and not core for us. We started looking for technology partners for help.
Our inquiry conveyed us to Teliver which we initially picked because of the product design. There were a great many suppliers making their own particular applications and dashboards yet actually nobody else was making plug-and-play tracking SDKs at the time. We much appreciated Teliver developer-friendly product which meant we wouldn’t have to be locked into their SaaS. Logical APIs webhooks and optional integration meant we could integrate Teliver into our apps and workflows precisely as we wanted to.
When clients connect with us to check on their order status our customer delight associates use our internal dashboard to get a quick overview of the order. This view now embeds the Teliver view to know precisely where the order is. Customers never again need to call up the conveyance field drive and bother them as they are navigating roads.
Through easy APIs our order management systems interact with Teliver to characterize the order work process: pickups from eateries and conveyances to clients with their normal place and time. This information is overlayed over the area information originating from the SDK making it noteworthy for our client delight team.
With the Teliver dashboard view embedded in our internal dashboard our associates get all the data they require in one single view. This view is utilized who effectively explore through hailed orders and customer service queries.
Teliver is a developer’s tool which has its own server to provide real time tracking.
As we embedded Teliver SDK, our online food ordering and delivery experience was enhanced even further for our customers.

On behalf of Gary Nelson of The Law Office of Gary C. Nelson posted in construction workers' accidents on Tuesday, November 28, 2017.
Large and new construction projects require a significant amount of skilled workers. Some projects, such as the new High-Speed Rail in California, often require unusual and large-scale work. Despite best efforts to prevent them, construction workers' accidents are unfortunately bound to occur. Two workers recently suffered injuries while working on the rail project.
The accident occurred on the part of the rail line being completed near Highway 99 and a sheriff's shooting range in Fresno County. For unknown reasons, a large rebar column collapsed and injured two workers early one afternoon. Several emergency units were dispatched and reported to the scene of the accident. Both workers required medical care and were transported by ambulance. Work on the project was immediately placed on hold.
Reportedly, one the workers fractured his spine. No other details are known about the workers' injuries, but they are both expected to survive. The California Highway Patrol is conducting an investigation and plans to cooperate with a separate investigate headed by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health.
Construction workers' accidents can create significant financial stress for workers and their families. Not only do injuries from accidents result in expensive medical care, but income is lost with missed work. Fortunately, employers are typically required to provide mandated workers' compensation insurance coverage to assist workers with work-related accidents. Unfortunately, many employees feel the system is flawed and difficult to file a claim. Many find the advice and help of an attorney in California familiar with the system to assist them through the claims process.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — A woman and a baby were taken to area hospitals Tuesday after a car slammed into a tree on the near north side.
According to the Indianapolis Fire Department, the crash happened around 4:20 p.m. at Fall Creek and 31st Street.
IFD said the car was heading westbound on Fall Creek when it went off the road and hit a tree. IFD crews extricated the 20-year-old woman from the car; she was taken to Eskenazi Hospital.
A 1-year-old baby in the car was properly restrained, IFD said, and was taken to Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health as a precaution. Indianapolis Metropolitan police are investigating.

The team at LD&K, known for their popular Udagawa Café and many other small-scale eateries and cafés across town, are at it again – this time with a spanking new soba joint at the Tameike intersection in Akasaka. The manager is a massive fan of the late Jamaican singer Gregory Isaacs, and hence decided to name his shop in the Cool Ruler's honour (and play only reggae around the clock). Besides mainstays like kakesoba and chilled tanuki soba, they serve more inventive things like coriander tempura and avocado tempura. Whatever you order, it'll definitely be a very chilled out serving of soba.

As any woman in a clothing store will tell you, there's no such thing as "one size fits all." There are too many variables—the length, the fabric, the cut. The same "universal" shirt is too small on one person and too big on another.
When you're looking for an inground pool, there's no universal "best" pool type either.
Hold on... Shouldn't we at River Pools say that there is? We specialize in fiberglass pools, after all. Well, no.
Every person has different goals for their pool, different boundaries, and different families.
How big is your family, and how big might it get in the future?
All 3 pool types have pros and cons. Our goal is to help you evaluate those pros and cons so you can decide which one is the best inground pool for you and your family.
Which pool type has the least maintenance?
Concrete pools need a lot of help. Porous plaster both leaches alkalinity into the water and welcomes algae. Booo.
Many concrete pool owners hire a pool cleaning service to take care of the weekly upkeep.
Of course, you should always have a professional for acid washes and resurfacing. It's safer that way.
The liner is less porous and doesn't affect the water chemistry. However, algae can pop up in corners with no circulation.
The biggest maintenance issue is replacing the liner.
Fiberglass pool gelcoats are much less porous than plaster—smooth and algae-resistant!
The gelcoat doesn't affect the water chemistry, and (if made and maintained right) it should never need refinishing.
Which pool type has the easiest installation?
Concrete pools take the longest to build. At minimum, 3 months. Often longer.
And your yard is in chaos the whole time. There's often a lot of overspray, which creates a huge mess.
Vinyl liner pools take about 4–8 weeks to build.
That's a bit longer than fiberglass pools, but still much less than concrete pools.
The pool itself is full of water and swim-ready by day 2.
Which pool type is the most durable?
Real talk: the structure of a concrete pool will probably survive Armageddon.
The interior finish is sturdy too, but mortal.
Depending on the type of material (plaster, aggregate, or tile), you'll need to refinish the surface every 8–12 years. This usually includes replacing any waterline tile, too.
Salt chlorine generators also don't do well with plaster or aggregate surfaces. The salt in the water wears away at the plaster faster, meaning you have to resurface even sooner.
Vinyl liner pools are the least durable of the three types, by far.
Beware of leaks, especially with metal wall panels. They'll rust—all the way through, if it goes on long enough.
Polymer wall panels can become brittle and break.
Salt systems are extra bad for metal wall panels in leaking cases. However, the salt doesn't impact polymer wall panels.
The structure of a fiberglass pool stands up well to movement in the surrounding earth. Its natural flexibility lets it stay in place without cracking.
If properly manufactured and maintained, the gelcoat surface should never need to be refinished either.
Which pool type is the most attractive?
Concrete pools are the "classic" look. Even simple white plaster looks good if well maintained.
Of course, there's also the pool owners that go all out, like the Olympic-length pool or the full-on natural grotto aesthetic.
Basically, concrete pools only look bad when they're neglected.
Vinyl liner pools tend to look inexpensive. To be fair, that's because they are.
You can always upgrade! High-quality add-ons and surroundings can transform a liner pool.
Fiberglass pools look great with both simple and complex aesthetics.
Which pool type is the most customizable?
Concrete pools are crazy customizable.
You know those pools you've seen that are shaped like a guitar? Or a duck? Odds are good that they're concrete.
Vinyl liner pools can also be designed in custom shapes.
However, keep in mind that the liner has to be cut and fit to match that shape. That can make intricate shape detailing difficult.
Fiberglass pools are limited to the shapes and sizes of preexisting molds. They generally don't get bigger than 16 by 40 ft.
However, there are sooo many options out there. Tanning ledges, bench seats, deep ends...pretty much everyone can find a design they love.
And the sky is the limit with all the other aspects of the pool project—gelcoat color, patio, water features, accessories, waterline tile, and more.
You can check out our own designs to see examples of fiberglass pool models.
Which pool type costs the least?
For more details, check out our Inground Pool Cost Guide or our blog article How Much Does an Inground Pool Cost?
Which pool type has the best surface?
A plaster finish on a concrete pool is rough, especially on kids' skin. Many children have to wear swim shoes in a concrete pool.
Exposed aggregate isn't rough like plaster. However, it's bumpy, and walking on that can be uncomfortable too.
Tile is much smoother than plaster or exposed aggregate. The only potential issue is if a tile loosens or cracks. The sharp edge would hurt if you stepped on it.
Polished aggregate is the smoothest interior finish for a concrete pool. It's aggregate, but the bumpy exterior bits are shaved off, leaving a perfectly smooth surface.
Pool liners are smooth everywhere except the slight seam where one piece meets another. The bump there is noticeable but not sharp.
A fiberglass pool gelcoat is super smooth. Ask to feel a sample!
At River Pools we include anti-slip texture on our steps and seats. It isn't rough at all—just a slight texture to help you keep your balance.
What pool type fits me best?
With that in mind, if you're interested, you can check out our fiberglass pool designs.
Want to compare the pool types in more depth?
Check out our in-depth comparison of all 3 pool types.
Read our article comparing concrete and vinyl liner pools.
Considering vinyl liner vs. fiberglass pools? Read our article comparing the two.
You can also check out our comparison of fiberglass vs. concrete pools.
River Pools is based in Warsaw, VA (near Richmond). We specialize in fiberglass pools—not only have we installed them for years, but we manufacture our own. Why? We wanted to solve the issues we encountered in other companies' pool shells. We wanted to provide our customers the best experience possible.
When you get right down to it, that commitment to quality is just the River Pools Way.
With our best-practice techniques, you get the strongest, most durable fiberglass pool possible, and it needs the least maintenance possible.

On the eve of the Second World War, Kay Jeynes volunteers to transfer out of her typist’s job to work for Japanese businessman Hero Miyashita. The relationship between the sophisticated Japanese gentleman and the naïve working-class Canadian rapidly turns into that of mentor and disciple, and Kay’s family and friends learn to view the Miyashitas with less prejudice than is the norm in the Calgary of the Thirties. But war is looming, and in the wider Canadian context, prejudice against the Japanese is fast turning to fear and hatred.
Flying Time is an example of what literary historical fiction does well: provides a snapshot of a time and place through the small evolutions in relationships in a clearly defined context. North’s evocation of Calgary in 1939 is masterly, a clear sketch that is never too heavy on detail. Her writing style is fluid, chatty, and engaging, and the pages of this novel flew by for me. I was not initially thrilled by the framing device for Kay’s reminiscences, a memoir writing class in a nursing home, but North made it work through Kay’s awareness of the poignancy of old age and the fleeting nature of youth.
Personally, I could have enjoyed the story without Kay’s journey to Hong Kong, even though I found the depiction of international travel by flying boat fascinating. I felt that the really engaging aspect of Flying Time was the delineation of the relationships that built up from a chance meeting, enhanced by the poignancy of historical hindsight.

As the year winds down, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the journeys we took during 2017. Most of our trips were to U.S. National Parks, since our 4th-grade son had a free Every Kid in a Park pass. Here are some of our favorite travel photos from the past year.
The Nebraska site showcases mammal fossils from the Miocene Epoch and preserves the Lakota culture. Read more here.
This other-worldly landscape rises from the South Dakota prairie. As we drove through the 20-mile park, we often commented that we felt like we were on another planet. The landscape is stunning. Read more here.
We enjoyed climbing into the cliff dwellings carved out of tuff (formed from volcanic ash), Read more here.
The Colorado site was a trading fort on the Santa Fe Trail. Native America, Hispanic and Caucasian cultures met and formed bonds at the fort. Read more here.

a short drive from Mesa Verde, but a world away. This national monument is one of the least visited in the NPS. We were the only visitors the day we went. After driving through a cattle farm, you arrive at the monument and can walk through the field finding pottery shards and partially buried brick structures. One of the most unique, personal journeys we took this year.

Here’s to another great year of travel.
Which of our photos did you like best? Let us know in the comments section. Happy traveling.
Really great photos. I can certainly relate to the joys of travelling with family. It’s great to share these experiences with our kids. As for photos, I love the selfie you captured while snapping a pic of the minute man missile. Happy Holidays!
I love that picture, and I also loved that site.
My favorite is Mesa Verde! The Cliff Palace is remarkable! I’ve been to many of these places and would love to go to the others!
Mesa Verde was a truly remarkable experience. Loved it.
Love all of your pics and your adventures in South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and more. I think of all the pics I love the one of your Daughter at Mt Rushmore in her uniform and the other of your son at God’s Park! Also, I do love as an honorable mention the Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde National Park. That is definitely on my bucket list to explore it.
Thanks. The picture of my son at Garden of the Gods is my all-time favorite of him. And it wasn’t staged. That’s how I found him. That was the only picture I got of my daughter at Mt. Rushmore. She was too busy running around, snapping her own pictures, to be slowed down to get pictures of her. Our “family picture” is without her for this very reason.
My favourite photo is the photo of your 2 kids preparing to sand sled. Just beautiful.
I love that photo. I love to take pictures of them with their backs turned to the camera, walking or climbing somewhere. Thanks.
I love the picture of the ducks in Denver. Solid composition and use of focal length. Most of all, I love how it captures the movement in the scene and draws me in visually.
Thanks. It was an amazing capture. All credit goes to my wife, who has a real eye for photography.
These are fantastic, I especially loved the burros from Custer (have you read about the devastating fire there and some of the poor guys got hurt?) and Bandelier National Monument. We stopped there this year too. We loved the drive out there and the site… very unique! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
What a fantastic year of travel! Particularly love your image of the Statue of Liberty, and the ducklings!
I love the Mount Rushmore picture! It’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit, it’s on my bucket list at the moment!
It was on my list for a long time. It was definitely worth the wait.
Mesa Verde is my favorite. I love seeing how people lived before us.
Thanks. We loved the history of Mesa Verde.
What a great set of pictures. Looks like you had a fantastic 2017. Really loved your shots of landscapes and animals. So cute!
Thank you. I’m partial to the animal pictures too.
Oh I have a few! I really like the Duck reflection one and the SCOTTS BLUFF NATIONAL MONUMENT one but I think my fave has to be the New York skyline one!
Thank you. I have a difficult time picking just one. I guess that’s why I chose 20 pics.
Some really nice pictures. I love the way you incorporate your family into the frames to give it more context and meaning. Your son’s image in the Garden of Gods’ photograph looked especially remarkable for me.
I loved all of them, felt like flying to that ruined cliff palace but the duck picture is a perfect shot with the perfect light I must say.
Great photos. Since NYC is my favorite place, I think I will have to choose that one.
Good choice. It’s a great city.
Compiling the best travel pictures from a year just completed is such a great way to recap experiences and memories. It also lays down the canvas in capsule form. You seem to have had a great year travelling across diverse places.
We did get to journey to many diverse places.
I like all your photos! My favourites are the ducklings in Denver and Cliff Palace.
The duckling picture is amazing. Credit goes to my wife.
It’s been amazing travel year for you! Keep the positive vibes and collect more memories and photos during 2018!
These are some really stunning pictures that capture the spirit of your travels in 2017. I loved the one of the sand dunes and the one of the big apple the best. I am sure 2018 will see many more stunning travel pictures being captured through your lens.
My wife was so excited to have the burros eating from our hands. Thanks.
I think what I like most about these pictures is how you engage with the subjects. To pick a favourite isn’t relevant to me. Its the photographers style for the whole collection that I like. The approach and how you frame each work.
Thanks. That means a lot to us.
Pretty sure the kids would go for the photo with the burro, but I like the shot from the Agate Fossil Beds. Lovely light.
Thanks. I like Agate Fossil Beds too. What am I saying, I like them all.
Great pictures! We’ve been to some of those places and made great memories. I have a picture of my daughter with the burrows! Thanks for stirring the memories!
Awesome photos! I love the one at Scotts Bluff. We have plans for staying in a covered wagon later this year and your photo makes me even more excited for the trip.
That sounds like it will be an amazing experience.
My favorite is Custer State Park and the adorable friendly pony! I’ve never heard of that place, but I love animals so I am sure it would be a fun place to visit with the family!
Wow, these are all great places to experience! I haven’t been to all of them, but they look interesting. Like the one with the barracks and the volcano one in Santa Fe.

How dumb. I got a verbal offer on the job I interviewed for a couple weeks ago. The offered salary was good enough to accept. The job was as a creative writer in their marketing area.
Then I got the written offer, and it was the same. I had a start date set; it was to be tomorrow the 3rd.
This afternoon I got a phone call from the head of the creative services department. Due to her just having found out about budgetary restraints and cut-backs, they had to not hire me.
So I was downsized before I even started.
Really.. in all truth.. and not to put too fine a point on it.. (please don’t say I’m the only bee in your bonnet) this is a very unpleasant turn of events.
Now I’m thinking George Michael. Because now I really ‘got to have faith-a.’ Baby.
I’ve sent out about five queries about The Cabin. One agent already said no. Her loss.
I also sent out a query with my revised version of It’s Not Tomato Sauce, my picture book manuscript.
Off to bed. There would be a tear in my beer if I drank the stuff. Beer, not tears that is, since of course I drink tears. Like water.
Still gonna carpe that somnium.
Jared – I’m so sorry to hear your job fell through. I hope you find something else real soon. Nobody ever said a writing career was going to be easy, right?

We decided to build a smaller scale reclaimed wood table that could also be used as a desk. Condos and apartments often do not have the space needed for a large scale table. This table is 5’6″, which is six inches smaller than a typical table. We decreased the depth to 24 inches as opposed to the typical 32-36 inches. The finished product could easily seat six!
The top is reclaimed heart pine from an 1874 Baltimore row house. This is easily my favorite top to date!
Here is the Etsy listing. Are you in the DC area?

Don't ever say I don't listen to my readers.
Long term reader Geordie asked me last week if I could watch the documentary Generation XXL and comment therein - here are my thoughts.
The documentary is about a group of children from Nova Scotia being sent to a sort of short term fat camp - only it's not exactly a fat camp and I'll get to that a bit later.
The documentary starts with their current lifestyles and from the beginning it's obvious that their environments' are far from ideal food and weight wise.
Of the 4 featured children, Kat, Greg, Raya and Vincent, 3 explicitly reported not eating breakfast.
Kat's mother when confronted by Kat who said she was not supportive pointed out that since Kat was 12 she had been paying for and taking her to Weight Watchers meetings. This same parent in an earlier scene spends time harping on Kat's choice of french fries as opposed to salad.
Vincent goes for dinner at his father's house and either for a snack or for dinner his father made 6 Pillsbury dough puffs and sat down with Vincent to eat them.
Greg's mother comes home and it's dark outside and Greg hasn't had dinner yet and presumably is pretty darn hungry.
Raya's mother admits to providing her with whatever foods she wants and that she herself has a difficult time with food in terms of using it for comfort and pleasure. There's also a great scene of a school dance for Raya where on the dance floor is an at least 8 foot tall poster of what I can only presume to be a dance sponsor featuring 3 gigantic O'Henry chocolate bars.
"Its primary goal is to create a context that supports overall healthy living that nurtures individual strength."
It's definitely not a typical fat camp as from the documentary it became quite clear the goal of this immersive short term experience for the kids was not weight loss, but rather self-esteem building.
They were taught to cook by chefs, did art therapy course, did have some food instruction (and unfortunately were taught Canada's Food Guide) and were instructed to exercise.
I had mixed feelings about the camp experience. They did not appear to have been taught anything at all about weight management, though that may be due to editing. I mean if you're already getting sent to a place to discuss the impact of weight on yourself as a person, you should probably be taught about calories, hunger prevention and such, but really, I didn't see any of this. They were also seen by an exercise specialist who provided them with pedometers and the unreasonable goal of trying to get 12,000 steps per day. A much better goal would have been to encourage them to get as many steps as they could enjoy so they wouldn't feel like failures when they resumed their real lives and didn't see numbers approaching 12,000.
I absolutely detested the part of the movie where they spent time giving the kids scary articles about risks of weight on cardiovascular disease and cancer. These kids felt plenty of guilt on their own about their weight before being hit with the articles, and given that there was no apparent weight management instructions provided to them other than follow the Food Guide and walk like crazy, I felt the scare tactics were really counter productive and unnecessary.
What I loved about the camp experience was the fact that the kids were really forced to confront how their weight has made them feel but in a manner that empowered them to try to break free from the notion that their weight defines them.
I think the most grievous omission of the camp experience was that it was for the kids and not the parents. Kat's mother should have been taught that the absolute worst thing she could do for Kat would be to ride her about her food and that sending a child to Weight Watchers may well have long term impact on that child's relationship with weight, self esteem and body image. Vincent's dad should have been taught about calories and healthy eating. Raya's mom could have been taught about the role of hunger prevention in reducing the drive to eat for comfort and Greg's mom could have been taught about the importance of eating regularity.
All of the parents should have been taught to live the lives they want their children to live.
By not addressing these kids' parents, and by not really providing the kids with any real weight management tools at best this camp experience provided the kids with improved self esteem and a new outlook on life, but at worst served as the basis for yet another major weight related disappointment.
If I were to be involved in a camp like this it would be with the explicit requirement of a parallel camp for parents where they're taught how to lead by example rather than by criticism or edict.
At the end of the documentary we're given a few telling glimpses into how little these kids learned about actual weight management.
"I might have to get liposuction to get this out"
Vincent blamed habit and said that he's not going to change.
Kat lost 8.2lbs and reported being discouraged because she hasn't lost as much as she'd hoped. She then told the camera she's going to live off frozen fruit juice ice cubes and watermelon for the summer while her mother stood by apparently silently approving.
I give the documentary a B+ because it was compelling to watch, but the content as far as helping these kids out I'd give a D.

1991 - Kristin (Sewell) Hodge attends a Women's Church Conference in Phoenix, AZ where she realizes her mission is to make an impact to those in the community that need real help. With this seed planted in her heart, her passion rises and her life changes forever.
1993 - Kristin begins her first company Heaven Sent Events Fundraising & Coordinating where she began coordinating events to raise money for non-profit organizations, churches and schools so they had the money they needed for their programs to flourish.
2012 -After nearly 20 years of community work for other organizations, Kristin started RISE & DREAM Foundation to make an impact in the lives of the families and children in our neighborhoods who truly are in need of help. It begins in her home and is privately funded through her and her family along with community supporters and the RISE Athletics program. The model: RESTORE, INVEST, STRENGTHEN and EMPOWER was formed and the work in the community of San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, and Florence began.
2014 -The RISE & DREAM Foundation grows by leaps and bounds in just two years to help over 120+ children and families in now 6 cities in the east valley that are in need throughout the year. RISE delivered food boxes, hygiene baskets and household items all year and the volunteer count for the Adopt-a-family program topped at 50. Scholarships $9,000 for 60 kids to play sports.
The Foundations work in the community reached levels we were so excited to see.
-250+ volunteers help accomplish these amazing projects.
One of our most exciting projects was the Christmas giving event called "Adopt a family for the Holidays". During this even we bring in local hairstylists/barbers to give families fresh haircuts, photographers to take family pictures, Lydian Dental gave the children screenings, fluoride treatments and treat 20 families in emergency dental situations, and provided a dinner by Buddyz Chicago Pizza and Port O' Subs. What a joy it was!
2018 has reached amazing numbers and made an incredible impact in the lives of so many children and families.
-6800+ meals were delivered through our Harvest for the Hungry program. In this project we feed children breakfast and lunch over the weekend by sending a food bag in a backpack for them to be discreet. Second, we partnered with 25 local restaurants to pick up their leftover food that is frozen each night and give to families directly.
- 7000+ articles of clothes, socks and shoes were given to children and families during our Back to School event and Adopt the Family For the Holidays projects.
-350+ volunteers help accomplish these amazing projects.
Future - expand our reach to make an impact from city to city in each state across the country. Build RISE Community Centers that would combine our efforts with the clothes/food pantry, our fitness and athletics programs, along with the computer labs and classes needed to help families reach higher and make it successfully on their own without resources. As of March 2019, we are serving 11 cities in Arizona: San Tan Valley, Florence, Coolidge, Queen Creek, Higley/Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Apache Junction, Tempe, Phoenix and Laveen.
Our goal is to partner with people and businesses that see the vision and want to serve their community or a community nearby that could benefit from their resources, time and talent.
Making an impact in others lives is like water to drink and air to breathe. I could not exist without air and water and I do not exist without giving back to those who need it most. I do not feel it's necessary to live in a shelter, low income housing or on the street to get help. It's about making an impact with people right where they stand in need - no judgement just love in action.
I spent 20+ years helping other organizations fulfill their mission, and the the vision was presented to me to focus specifically on certain types of resources for people in regular neighborhoods that don't always qualify for help but are in true need. I accepted the call and RISE and DREAM Foundation was founded.
What was shown to me was that the majority of people are one crisis away from loosing everything. I watched time after time, a family member go through a medical crisis or life situation and because of the loss of time on the job or a loss of job they had a hard time recovering and saving their family. So many times they lost their home and had to relocate. Kids would suffer with shoes that had holes and clothes that didn't fit, or would go hungry - minimal supplies to take care of their needs and the kids definitely couldn't participate with sports programs. They often times would come to the schools with their hair dirty and not being well cared for with hygiene. What I could see is the heart of the parents didn't want this, but they just couldn't recover and get their family to the next level.
So, I developed a mission with RISE to make an impact in the lives of families in our neighborhoods who need it most. Myself along with the board, staff, volunteers, partners and friends of RISE - We seek to INVEST, STRENGTHEN and RESTORE those families who need it most. Join us today!

In part 1 of this interview with Epigeneticist, Charan Surdhar, we discuss the science of Epigenetics and how we can override our genes / genetic predisposition, and 3 remarkable case studies, include 2 unborn baby Down's Syndrome reversals, arthritis and breast lumps.
"We do not need to become victim to our genes - no matter what a predisposition"
"You are a frequency machine"
Facing what is underneath an emotion. Sensations are what your DNA are listening to.

I loved this attitude from Faith and I am exceedingly grateful to the thrift stores for accepting my stuff too.
I liked this short comment from Ann. The benefits of decluttering are realised in little ways that add up to a big difference in the long run. In what little ways have you noticed the difference a little decluttering can make?
Our friend Dizzy has the most interesting comments at times and this one is a doozy.
We have another new reader Karen who has recently started to declutter and blog about it. Take a look at her site ~ stashingless.blogspot.com ~ she has gotten rid of a lot of kitchen items and yarn and that was just two of the many items that have gone since the 26th of December.
And here is a link just for fun. Cindy shared this one with me and I had to feature it here for all you book lovers out there. Enjoy! The joy of books.
I must give a warning before you read this next link as his idea is sound but his language can be a little colourful at times and some may find it offensive. jaeminyi.com ~ Stop buying, start “temporarily owning”.
Spendwisemom sent we this link that is a real eye opener. The lady in the interview said it was shameful and she was right about that. All I can think of when I see this is the people are starving in the world.
Here’s another good link sent to me from Cindy. womensvoicesforchange.org ~ My battles with clutter – Sorting the wheat from the chaff.
And why has it taken so long for these to make it onto the market. I believe the technology has been around for years. Hush money perhaps? popularmechanics.com ~ The world’s first air-powered car.
I think these are discs from a hard drive. One of those things set aside that might come in useful one day. Surprisingly enough one day never came.
A cool afternoon breeze, taking the time to welcome the new neighbours, refreshing watermelon for lunch and finally ordering my new glasses. My desire not to shop does sometimes impede my progress at buying the things I do need, but I am OK with that.
They THREW AWAY half of a grass feed cow that’s been stored in the freezer!!!!! Are they INSANE?????
No, Just extremely wasteful and most likely materialistic and ambitious. As I see they are probably one of those double income families who aren’t just striving to put food on the table for them and their children. They are simple working hard to achieve all the stuff they don’t really need at the expense everything else. Sound familiar? If they have no time to cook a meal how much time do you think they are spending as a family. I just hope it is worth it for them in the end.
I enjoyed your Friday favorites this week. The food wasters were particularly distressing. I guess they were “aspirational” cooks, who ended up eating their meals out. Food waste has always really bothered me. We’re renting a house with a small fridge (just bigger that dorm-sized), so I have to make a list and stick to it when I go grocery shopping. There’s no place for food clutter in our house.
I think you are exactly right, aspirational cooks for sure. And you know what Delona I would stick with the little fridge because in reality you don’t need one any bigger. The one you have is teaching you good shopping habits.
I mostly use drink coasters on my wood furniture so they need to have full coverage or hot beverages will damage the surface. Thank you for the tip anyway Lynda.
Some great comments and some great links. The food wasters one was especially interesting. We aren’t as bad as that when it comes to wasting but we are not winning when it comes to monthly shopping and meal planning. We were very good at one time at buying once a month except for perishables, planning our meals and using up what we bought. Now I am finding that neither of us have very good appetites and we want something fast and not much of it. It’s back to figuring out what we will really eat and how. I want one of those air cars. Actually, I wish we lived where I could do without a car for the most part. Maybe a place where you use one of those community cars where people share several cars. I think it would make people more aware of how much they are driving impulsively. It’s easy to get in the car for a quick trip when it is sitting in the drive. You are more apt to think and plan when you have to use public transportation or a shared car.
I am surprised you don’t have the food planning down pat Deb J. I thought for sure you would be on top of this. As you say it is time then that you start observing your habits and alter your shopping accordingly. I am tending to shop local more often these days regardless of the price difference. I and up with better quality and fresher food with no waste what-so-ever. And it is easy to shop without plastic with the local stores as well.
I want an air-car too. That is the only car I would own. If I had to go on a long trip I would just hire a standard car.
Colleen, I definitely need new glasses but probably not the sort you wrote about. I read “the world’s first air powered car” as “the world’s first air powered ear”! You don’t want to know about the Picasso-like images that flashed through my mind.
No Shirls we are talking about the same glasses. The reading strength of my eye-glasses is starting to fail me and like you I see things incorrectly at times. I can’t imagine what the images were you saw when you read “world’s first air-powered ear”. That is funny. It gives “blowing in your ear” a whole new meaning I am sure.
Food waste…. attrocious! But it doesn’t happen in my house very often. I cook at home, and if something is close to the best before date (it rarely happens unless I buy it that way to get a bargain) it gets used ASAP.
Air powered car…. I know I’ve seen air powered vehicles (with compressor tanks) before… maybe mining equipment? I wonder how they get any range and prevent diminishing power?
Stashingless is on the same path I am so I like it.
Owning temporarily…. so that’s what I can call it! I’m not quite as extreme as that guy, but I started thinking of a purchase as a temporary arrangement a while back. When I buy something (used usually) I think about how many uses I’ll get out of it before I will be donating it to the thrift store. It helps me put a limit on how much I’ll spend on one-use items like fancy dresses (I’ll often ask my sister if I can borrow something instead).
I have seen one of those air~powered cars on the British TV show Coast. One was used by the caretaker on a little Island. The article said they have a range of about 120km I think that would be far enough for a vehicle that is just meant for around town. I would just hire a car for longer trips.
Owning temporarily is even better if it is just through borrowing. No expenditure there and no problems with what to do with it when you are done.
Thanks for this week’s links.
I especially enjoyed the new Stash Less blog, and immediately added it to my blog roll. The author has a very entertaining writing style. Can’t wait to read more.
Yeah I like (her?) it too! Simple, and inspiring!
I am sure Karen will be pleased to hear that.
Loved the “stop buying, start ‘temporarily owning’ ” article. That’s pretty much how I lived during my college years out of necessity. I hope one day to sort of get back to that, because I love the idea of one not really owning anything indefinitely; that way objects have less of a hold on you.
I checked out Karen’s blog site and wanted to leave an encouraging comment, but I don’t subscribe to any of those profiles. Just thought maybe she would see this and change how a person can comment. Could be other people have the same situation. Thank you.
Hi Di, I felt the same way. The option of Name/URL is the one I prefer.
I liked the temporary owning – something I’ve thought of (but not done!). I can’t pay my bills came up (I open them all and then read), and I thought it was some random spam/pop up, opps, and then closed it.
I have forwarded your comment to Cindy so she knows. She will be proud.
Buy second hand or borrow and then resell or give back. It is a great concept.
You silly Billy, I can’t pay my bills is legit.
Hi Colleen, the “Joy of Books” link almost made me cry with happiness!
Finally back on-line after our move (yay!) and am pleased to report that even though this new house is smaller than our old one *everything* fits!! It is a real testament to all the decluttering I’ve been doing these past few years. There are even some empty shelves in the kitchen and bathroom cupboards, which makes me very happy. Now that I have a shed I can put my charity donation box there, so I don’t trip over it in the hallway every day 🙂 There are SIX op shops within walking distance that I am just itching to investigate, and I think today is the day. Have 2 full archive boxes of stuff to donate already.
Now off to read the other Friday links.
I knew you would love that link Loretta. I am so pleased you are all settled in and your location sounds so convenient. Maybe you could devote some of your time to volunteering at one of those thrift shops.
You’ll be a local before you know it.
food waste is horrible. but it happens. I try to avoid it, but its hard. I get a weekly box with veggies and fruits and so I always have stuff at home. on the one side, thats amazing, because I prepare and eat so many things now, I would never ever buy myself in the supermarket. On the other side, there is also stuff that requires some serious cooking and time intense preparations, and there are weeks in my life where I am not really up for that. And then there is stuff that I simply dont like (but thats rarely happening, and if I give it to friends who like it).
There is the opportunity in my neighbourhood to purchase those veg & fruit boxes but I always feel that with the stuff being random I may end up wasting some of it. I know they are usually a lot less expensive but I think I will stick with my local green grocer.
Enjoy that marbelade, it is so yummy on toast for breakfast. It is also good with Nutella (chocolate spread) on crepes. Mmmmmmm!
the thing is: I really really enjoy trying new things. I am forced to find new recipes and the best thing: everything is organic and local (you can taste the difference). I really enjoyed this weeks box and everything (!!) is gone already.
I opened one orange marmelade and I loved it. I dont buy nutella anymore, because once the jar is open, I cant stop.
So Lena has a nutella weakness hey! Best to stay away from that then since you have lost so much weigh lately it would be a shame to put it all back on.
You make a good point about the new stuff in the box giving you the chance to try new things and new recipes. That part I wouldn’t mind so much. Quantities could be my problem especially fruit as I am the only one who eats it in this house. My hubby is on a low carb diet and although he loves fruit sugar is sugar whether it is lactose, sucrose or fructose. He does eat lots of vegetables though.
I disagree. there is a big difference between fruit sugar and industrial sugar. and if you eat a lot of fruits and veggies you dont have to do the additional nutrition pill-popping. totally useless in my opinion.
I agree Lena, there is a big difference between the sugars but they are all carbs. I actually was a bit disappointed when he said he was cutting fruit with the new eating lifestyle. He used to eat two pieces of fruit per day and was never sick. But he still doesn’t get sick and he has lost 15kg and he does eat lots more veggies. No potatoes of course because they are all starch another carb.
wow. I could never stop eating potatoes (or other carbs for that matter). far too good and practical… but good for him losing 15 kg, thats massive!!
Thanks for the mention, Colleen! I’m loving having the blog to share what I’m getting rid of and knowing I need to post daily keeps me looking for things to donate/sell. I’m starting to see some empty spaces… and I’m loving it!
That is what I found when I first got started. Even though I didn’t start actually blogging until I had been at it for 64 days I had the intention to blog about it and was taking photos every day for that reason. My husband started the blog for me when he got home from working overseas. It sure helps to keep you focused when you have an audience to keep you honest. Than finding something to write about each day really got me thinking about the emotion behind the clutter. It all together opens your mind up and get you more ruthless about getting rid of stuff.
I hope you have had a visitors today due to the mention. One thing I would like to see you do and another of my readers mentioned the same, is to add Name/Url and Anonymous to your comment identity choices. I was deterred from leaving a comment because I didn’t like the ID choices available and so was my other reader.
There is a website called safelink.com that provides free cell phones(250 minutes a month) to those on certain State and Federal Assistance programs. The programs are listed on the site. You just fill out the form and click the box of the program with which you participate. It takes about two weeks for the phone to arrive. I guess this is US only, but there may be similar programs in other places. The food waste is very sad. 🙁 Years ago when my Dad was well he used to use the Senior Center van and pick up bags of bread and pastries that would have been thrown out. I’m not sure if they still do it, but I hope so!
Hi Lisa, that I can’t pay my bill site looks very useful and as you say even if the links are only relevant to the US it gives people ideas to search for similar assistance in their own areas. And yes the food waste is sad. I know that in Australia there are organisations like Food Rescue that collect the day old stuff from restaurants etc and distribute it to those in need.

Good news for those who usually travel from Yishun MRT to the Orchard Road belt. If you think that your daily commuting life is become more and more daunting, you can soon have an easy access through the upcoming Northpoint Link project. This will be the latest underground connection located in Nee Soon that can be used by anyone particularly those who will come or go to the Northpoint City. The latter will be connected to the Yishun MRT though the construction is expected to start by August 2015.
Cheang Kok Kheong talked about the upcoming project as managed by the Frasers Centrepoint Limited. Through the accessibility provided by the soon-to-be Northpoint Link, it will only take the commuters about 20 minutes to reach the Orchard Road. Taking the train to the busy Orchard Road belt will now be a breeze. They can also immediately ride any of the available buses at the interchange since the Yishun MRT will also have a pathway going to these transportation hubs.
As commuters’ convenience will no longer be an issue, the development will also address the need for retail shops as well. There will be as much as 30 shops that will open for everyone so it’ll be easier for them to purchase snacks, sip a coffee while waiting, or even spend some for new clothes from these stalls. Walking will also be comfortable along the Northpoint Link since the whole area will have a centralized air-conditioning system. Heavy foot traffic is also expected at the Northpoint Shopping Centre as well.
Owners of the recently launched North Park Residences will now excited with this news. After it was launched last April 2015, it only took two months before it sold as much as 600 of its condominium units of out the 920 units. The average price for this residential property was set at an average of SG$1,300 psf. Along with Botanique @ Bartley, the North Park Residences was one of the new developments launched recently and expected to be completed come 2018. Other new launches will include Adana @ Thomson as well as Sol Acres, another Executive Condominium.

Blue Dragon Children's Foundation is a grassroots charity serving children in crisis throughout Vietnam. We believe that every child deserves the best care we can offer. Blue Dragon kids are street kids, children with disabilities, and children who have been trafficked. We rescue kids from danger and slavery, reunite them with their families when we can, and provide all the services needed for recovery and growth.
The work to provide care and assistance to these children is only possible because of the generosity of supporters like you.
Hot meals - street kids are always hungry and malnourished. Blue Dragon offers hot, nourishing meals as part of its nutrition program.
Education - some children are unable to go to school because their families are too poor.
Safe Haven - when the girls are rescued from brothels and forced marriages in China, they need accommodation in safe houses while they make their way back to Vietnam. In cases where the girls are unable to live with their families due to social stigma, Blue Dragon helps with their accommodation and living expenses.
Blue Dragon will provide you with a report of the impact of your donation, and is happy to respond to any queries you may have.
Monthly donations allow Blue Dragon to plan interventions and design programs more securely. So please consider making a monthly gift!

Loewe Creative Director Jonathan Anderson has teamed up with celebrated American Artist Photographer Duane Michals to produce a black and white photo narrative series to go along side Loewe’s static exhibition of AW18 products in their Parisian showroom. Michals photographed the British actor Josh O’Conner as a failed magician, performing in the Teatro Reina Victoria in Madrid. “He had carte blanche,” Anderson said. “He came to Madrid and shot these tableaux in an old theater. He painted the backdrops and made the props.” The magician makes the model Erik Frey appear in a new Loewe outfit with each new trick performed. Over a career of 55 years Michal’s is constantly reinventing himself and has produced work from staged photographs to multi-media works with painted and manipulated photographs, as well as constructing elaborate fictional narratives. As well as the exhibition the images will alsobe published as a limited edition volume designed by M/M Paris.
Following her success as creative director at Chloe, Clare Waight Keller has already produced a successful catwalk show for Givenchy and now aims to further cement her status as a successful predecessor to long time designer Riccardo Tisci with the latest ad campaign for Givenchy Spring 2018. The campaign, shot by Steven Meisel, again gives both Men’s and Women’s sides parity as was set out in her debut show. The campaign was shot in a private mansion in upstate New York and features black and white portraits that mirror the Givenchy collection. The portraits are positioned next to bold colour photographs of accessories, of which Keller has said will become a very important part of her tenure at Givenchy. The images portray an intimate setting among friends casually hanging out and have a very 70’s rocker vibe. “I wanted the models’ attitude to be engaging so I asked them to just be themselves, as they might if they were invited to a party at a friend’s home,” said Keller. “I think that they really capture the spirit of a generation that loves fashion, but most of all they love making it their own.” As well as Steven Meisel behind the camera, the 70’s influenced style was pushed further by Guido Palau doing the hair and Pat McGrath producing minimal smokey eyes.
Balenciaga has just released its SS18 campaign which features real families, in a take on the awkward family photograph. Following on from the previous Paris Fashion Week presentation of using real families for models, the latest off beat images are a collaboration between photographer Robbie Augspurger and stylist & frequent Vetements collaborator Lotta Volkova. The images are simple portrait style settings harking back to a 70’s ‘norm-core’ style. Vestments have also announced they will be returning to the catwalk for the Paris men’s fashion week this January with a coed show.
Japanese designer, musician and producer Hiroshi Fujiwara is to showcase his ‘Slumbers’ photo exhibition at #FR2 Gallery. Viewers can be expected to find themselves immersed in the experience of being deep in the forest, with a full interactive concept. The godfather of Ura-Harajuku fashion and a major globally influential streetwear designer will also be releasing music along side the exhibition this coming Wednesday. As well as the artwork the show will also introduce limited edition ‘Slumber’ t-shirts, postcards and other accessories. Hiroshi is known for being the pioneer of Nike’s HTM line and the Venom line for Levis.

This is an infographic from The Guardian newspaper. It shows the supposed number of foreign workers in Oman (the migrants to Oman are low), Omanis overseas (who from their location could be students) and the money flows in and out – large sums of money flowing out of Oman’s relatively small economy.
In January last year I was delighted to give lots of talks about Oman as ‘Guest Lecturer’ on an Arabian Gulf Cruise with the Island Sky as it cruised from Salalah to past Abu Dhabi.
It was a nice surprise to see the familiar face of Allesandro near Salalah.

Over the summer my son is focusing on play but I am focusing on working on his fine motor skills. This activity satisfies both . The best part of these letter puzzles are how adaptable they are. You can make letters, shapes, even spell simple words. You could provide your child with a card next to each group of pegs to let them know what letter it is or leave it as a puzzle for them to figure out like I did to combine fine motor and spacial skills.
Gather your materials. You will need a cork board , some pushpins and elastics.
Start by stretching two elastics across the board to make 4 distinct areas.
Using the push pins I created 4 letters. I wanted to make sure that they could be made into letters so created them myself. Then removed the elastics and called my son.
He dove right in. The A was easy but the B was tricky. It took a while for him to see that it was a B but once he did he couldn’t make the B fast enough.
I took all the pegs out ( adults only if you aren’t careful the elastics can pull the pegs out and they go flying) and reconfigured them into 4 new letters. These were easier and he flew through them but he was still getting lots of opportunity to fine tune his fine motor skills.
These books aren’t your basic alphabet book. They offer challenges that will appeal to school age children but could still be shared with kids 5 and under.
Animalia by Graeme Base is iconic in teaching circles, you can loose yourself for hours in the detailed illustrations. The book is an alphabet book on steroids! Each page had a wonderful paragraph in each letter such as for the letter L ” Lazy Lions lounging in the local library.” The pages are filled to the gills with pictures of things that start with that letter as well. Parents and kids a like will fall in love.
All Aboard!: A Traveling Alphabet by Bill Mayer was more fun for my husband and I than for my son when he was a toddler, but that”™s not a bad thing. It”™s a book of pictures, with hidden letters in them. For example the letter O is overpass with loops of road and hidden in it is an O. Some letters were easy to find some were hilariously hard. We read this to my son tonight at bedtime and while we stared at the letter H ( highway) picture debating where the h was, he fell asleep between us in his bed. This is a great alphabet book for families with children just learning and those who have mastered the alphabet. Oh and the debate was settled , we were both wrong. The final page highlights the letter in each picture in a compilation of the whole alphabet.
Al Pha”™s Bet by Amy Krouse Rosenthal is a rare find. An alphabet book that can keep a 5 year old who says alphabet books are for babies, completely engaged. The story follows Al who has bet himself that he can win a contest ordered by the King figure out an order for the brand new 26 letters that were just invented. In a string of adorable events and a little chance the alphabet as we know it is put together. My son thought it was hysterical that P was put in the line up after Al went pee. It”™s a cute idea for a book and abstract enough to be a bit of a challenge for preschoolers but just the right level of interest for kids that think they know it all when it comes to the alphabet.
Love this idea and the book suggestions. Another one of my advanced ABC favorites is Q is for Duck. For each letter there is a riddle that invites some critical thinking to go along with the general alphabet practice. Thanks for sharing!
Love this idea! Very tactile and fun for kids learning the alphabet!
Thank you for a creative and fun learning activity!

By the end of July 1864 the Tauranga war was over. Most of Ngāi Te Rangi accepted peace and handed over weapons, although many of these were old and of such poor quality as to be virtually worthless. Tauranga Māori still had the modern weapons they had captured at Gate Pā. For historian James Belich, Te Ranga ‘slipped easily into the mould of the British winning the last, decisive, battle’.
Some criticised Grey for going soft on Ngāi Te Rangi. Little land was taken from them and the government even provided food and seed to ‘tide them over the after-effects of their long campaign’. Grey’s critics attributed his leniency to an alleged affair with a Ngāi Te Rangi woman. A more likely reason is that Ngāi Te Rangi would not have made peace otherwise. Te Ranga gave the British the opportunity to claim victory rather than risk another reversal should the fighting continue.
The New Zealand Parliament had already passed legislation (the 1863 New Zealand Settlements Act) which allowed for the seizure of up to 3.5 million acres (1.4 million ha) of land from Māori found to have been in rebellion against the Crown. This land would help pay for the cost of the war. With the war in Waikato also seemingly at an end, the settler population wanted to see confiscation enforced to the fullest possible extent.
10,000 English troops had been placed at your disposal for objects of great Imperial concern, and not for the attainment of any merely local object … you will not continue the expenditure of blood and treasure longer than is absolutely necessary for the establishment of a just and enduring peace.
The question remained as to whether ‘a just and enduring peace’ could be achieved.
We have 16 biographies, 13 articles, related to War in Tauranga.

Albany sits at the center of Southwest Georgia, a storied region closely tied to America’s early Indian culture, the antebellum age of the Old South and the time-less sport of fishing and hunting. Lying below the land around Albany is the Floridan Aquifer, an ocean of fresh water that feeds the area’s rivers and creeks and fuels its economy.
Outdoor adventure, the arts, shopping, dining and the friendliest folks anywhere—Albany has it all! With so much to see and do, you’ll want to visit us again and again.

How are Honoured Members chosen?
The people of Manitoba are the only ones with the power to choose Honoured Members. The people inducted into the Hall of Fame are individuals whose names have been submitted by nomination to an independent Selection Committee. Anyone, except Hall of Fame staff and board members, can submit a nomination for induction. The selection committee considers nominations from the current year as well as unsuccessful nominations from three years prior, to honour six or seven new individuals as well as a team inductee each year. A Veteran Selection Committee will also review nominees whose careers were completed over 40 years ago and make their recommendations to the independent Selection Committee if they find deserving individuals and teams being overlooked by their younger counterparts in the process.
Individuals or builders (e.g. official, coach, administrator) must be Manitoba-born - or must be residing in Manitoba at the time of their contribution to Manitoba sports. Manitoba teams that have won national or international championship events are also eligible for nomination. Nomination deadline each year is April 1st.

Forgot the password of your iTunes backup? Looking for a way to extract the contacts, photos or videos from locked iPhone backup? In this tutorial we'll walk you through the steps of recovering iTunes backup password with iTunesKey, so you can unlock your iTunes backup for your iPhone/iPad/iPod quickly.
To view the Manifest.plist file, you have to enable "Show Hidden Files" within Windows Explorer. We've prepared another tutorial that will guide you through how to find iTunes backup.
Click here to download the setup package of iTunesKey and install it on your local computer.
After starting the iTunesKey program, click the ... button to select the Manifest.plist file from your iTunes backup location.
Select a attack method, then click the Next button to continue. It's recommended to try the Dictionary attack method before proceeding to the Brute-force attack method. If you can recall part of the password, the Mask attack is the best choice.
If you select Dictionary attack, you need to specify a good dictionary for successful recovery. Generally, Dictionary attack succeed because many people have a tendency to choose passwords which are short, single words in a dictionary, or easily-predicted variations on words. You can use either default dictionary or your own ones.
If you select Brute-force attack, set the minimum and maximum length of the password and what symbols to be searched. Begin with trying short passwords using the full character set, then you can increase the length of password simultaneously decreasing the character set to keep the required time acceptable.
Often the Mask attack used if you already know some symbols or characters in the password. You can specify the mask to decrease the passwords combinations to be verified. For example, you know that the password contains 4 characters, starts with "8" and ends with "2". So, the Password mask should be set to "8??2".
Click the Next button to start the recovery process. Once your password has been recovered, the program clearly notifies you of the results.
Now open the iTunes app and you can unlock / open your encrypted iTunes backup with the recovered password. That's it!
