Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

Nov 27, 2010

I found the original recipe for this here a few years ago and my guys love it. If I want to take it to a gathering, I have to make an extra to leave at home. While there aren't many ways you can make it healthier, I do use Neufchatel cheese (less fat), part whole wheat pastry flour/part unbleached flour, demerara or turbinado sugar (gives the topping a good crunch too), and almond milk (although it's still far from dairy-free). It is definitely a special occasion recipe for us.

If you like coconut and wanted to change it up a little, you could probably substitute coconut milk for the milk, possibly virgin coconut oil for the butter, slivered almonds for the pecans, and add shredded coconut. Hmmm...I may have to try that.

Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake
1 c butter, softened
1 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c milk
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c chopped pecans
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and 1 1/4 c sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into greased 9-in. springform pan. Combine pecans, cinnamon, and 1/4 c sugar; sprinkle over batter.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen. Remove sides of pan. Cool completely before cutting.

Fever Phobia

Nov 26, 2010

Are you afraid of a fever? When your little ones develop a fever, do you automatically reach for the acetaminophen or ibuprofen? Have you seen a recent commercial on television that first shows a crying, feverish toddler, who then, after supposedly taking a certain fever reducer medicine, is happy and laughing? My first impression from it was that we are to see the fever as the illness and that by getting rid of it, we fix the problem. It looks normal to most parents because we have been taught that a fever is a bad thing. We can't cure a cold but we want to do whatever we can to make our children feel better so we treat what we can.

For the past week or so, my younger children have been fighting a virus that apparently has been affecting most of the community right now. Miles has had an intermittent fever since yesterday evening and the first thing that both my husband and my mother said was, "Give him some Tylenol." After all of the research that I've done, I know that a fever is not usually dangerous and is really a good thing in most cases. Although opinions vary, my own personal limit is 103 "ish", depending on how my child is acting, his age, his symptoms, and how long he's had it. Dr. Sears has a guide to fevers in children here and Dr. Greene has more to say here. You may want to print the information to have as a handy reference when you are dealing with a feverish child at 3 a.m.

Have you stopped to think about why we get fevers? Did you know that a fever is actually the body's natural defense against viruses and bacteria? So while there are conditions that warrant reducing a fever, not all situations require it. By lowering it prematurely with medicine, you may actually be making it easier for the germs to multiply and make your child sicker. Not exactly what you were shooting for, I'm sure.

Another downside to fever reducing medications is the potential for allergic reactions. NG broke out in hives after taking Motrin (ibuprofen) when he was younger. And when you take into consideration the warnings of potential liver damage from overuse of acetaminophen and the numerous recalls of Tylenol products this year, you may want to take a moment and reevaluate the need to give your child or yourself a fever reducing medicine. The AAP gives suggestions for treating a fever without medication.

Consider the fever a sign that something is brewing inside your child's body and make sure that he or she gets plenty of rest, eats healthy foods, drinks plenty of water, and stays away from others. Monitor his or her fever and symptoms and don't hesitate to contact your doctor if you notice any of the symptoms listed here.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a doctor. My information is from books and trusted online sources, as well as from conversations with my own family doctor. Please read the links above, do your own research, and consult your physician. As always, my advice is to be informed. Don't do things a certain way just because that's the way your mom, your grandmother, or "everyone else" does it.

I Am Thankful...

Nov 25, 2010

2010 has been a very eventful year for our family and I have many things to be grateful to our awesome God for. I am thankful...
  • that my fifth son was born perfectly healthy and beautiful.
  • that my husband returned home safely from Afghanistan four days later.
  • for Papa Bear, who is a diligent and hard-working provider and protector for our family, who is proud to serve his community and his country, and who balances me out.
  • for M1, who is growing into a confident, capable young man way too fast.
  • for NG, who is nurturing, creative, and a good judge of character.
  • for IB, who is friendly, funny, and adventurous.
  • for LJ, who is tender, protective, and adorable.
  • for M2, who is cuddly, sweet-tempered, and determined.
  • that I still have my mother here on earth to love and spoil my sons (no matter how much I complain about it).
  • for a stepfather who loves my mom and all of us as his own and is thoughtful and generous to everyone he meets.
  • that we were able to pay off almost all of our debt and still have a down payment for a new house.
  • for our new home, with room for all of us and family and friends too.
  • for access to clean water and a bounty of healthful foods.
  • for our health and God's provision.
  • for selfless people who put their own lives at risk to protect others: soldiers, law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency responders.
  • that I live in a country where I am free to worship my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and teach my own children as I see fit.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.   Colossians 3:17

Kitchen Sneak Peek

Nov 22, 2010

My kitchen cabinets are done! I am so excited! And that's saying a lot because not too many things make me feel giddy. I suppose that it's because I spend much of my day in the kitchen and my previous kitchens have always been smaller and old, um, retro or vintage. So, while it may not seem like much to others who live in newly built homes, it is a BIG deal to me. For this stay-at-home mom, the kitchen is where the action is. Cooking, cleaning, (and in our case) laundry, and studying all happen in the kitchen. It is truly the heart of our home.

Here are the old cabinets on their way out. They are being reused in my SIL's workshop.

Noah is our budding carpenter. He loves building and deconstruction, of course. That screw he is working on in the picture did NOT want to come out. It finally took Papa Bear grinding the head off of it!

And here are the custom made cabinets that were made by Steve, a friend of my husband. Steve makes beautiful, top-quality cabinets in his spare time and is a humble, God-glorifying man. The unfinished back side of the L-shaped cabinet is going to be painted with black chalkboard paint. The empty spaces will be filled with a dishwasher (of course!) and an overhead microwave very soon.

I love the shine of a stainless steel sink, especially this one with offset, deep basins. Papa Bear is going to install the new faucet tomorrow.

And the crowning glory...the PANTRY. Since I don't have a walk-in pantry or closet, I needed something to hold all of our dry goods and my small appliances. I was originally going to do a base/upper cabinet combo but, at the last minute, it struck me...the biggest pantry we could afford!

Want to see inside? Don't we all like to see what's in other people's cabinets?

Now I need to find new lighting and window treatments, paint the walls, and cover the checkerboard linoleum with something more pleasing to the eye. All without breaking the bank.

Thank you for sharing in my joy!

Wordless Wednesday #4 - "Sweet Tea"

Freshly brewed sweet tea...THREE QUARTS.

He was more upset about it than I was. He even growled.

So I didn't say much. The floor needed to be mopped anyway.

Don't you just love my awesome linoleum floor? My kitchen cabinets are almost done, then we'll say goodbye to our life-size checker board floor.

Chicken Pot Pie

Nov 9, 2010

Making chicken pot pie is simple, especially with my easy pastry recipe. So skip the frozen store-bought ones or the recipes with canned soup and see what you've been missing. If you're up to it, start from scratch. Well, I suppose it's not really truly "from scratch" unless you grew the vegetables and milked the cow too. :)

You can substitute other vegetables if you prefer, keeping the same total amount to about 4 1/2 cups, or increase veggies and reduce chicken, etc. To be honest, I don't actually measure everything in this recipe.

Chicken Pot Pie
3 1/2 c frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
1/2 c frozen Fordhook lima
1/2 c diced potato
2/3 c butter
2/3 c unbleached flour
2/3 c onion, chopped
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 1/2 c chicken broth
1 1/3 c milk (or milk substitute)
3 c cubed, cooked chicken (or turkey)
Pastry for 9" 2 crust pie

Melt butter in 2 quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, onion, salt & pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in broth and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for one minute. Stir in chicken and vegetables; remove from heat.

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare pastry. Roll out into rectangle, large enough to cover 9x13 dish. Pour chicken mixture into 9x13 casserole dish. Cover with pastry and trim edges so that it doesn't hang over. Use fork or knife to poke several holes in top. Place on foil-lined cookie sheet in case it bubbles over. Bake about 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Easy Pie Pastry

I can't remember where I found this recipe but I'm so glad I did. It makes a really good crust, especially for pot pies, and it doesn't use hydrogenated vegetable shortening. You can make it even healthier by using expeller-pressed oil and all whole wheat flour.

Easy Pie Pastry
2 1/2 c whole wheat pastry flour or unbleached flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
2/3 c canola oil
1/2 c cold water

Stir together flour and salt in medium bowl. Whisk cold water into oil until emulsified. Pour oil mixture into flour; stir quickly with fork until all is just moistened. Do not overmix. Divide dough in half for two pastry crust or leave whole for 9x13 casserole. Roll out dough between two sheets of waxed paper until 2" larger than diameter of pan. Remove top sheet of paper and use bottom sheet to lift and flip pastry onto dish. Trim crust as desired.

Garlic Lime Chicken

Nov 8, 2010

This recipe is from Saving Dinner by Leanne Ely. My family loves it! To save time, I quadruple the seasoning amounts and keep it in a spice jar. I serve it with Basmati rice that I make in my pressure cooker with chicken broth instead of water.

Garlic Lime Chicken
1 tsp sea salt
3/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme (or cilantro)

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, fresh or thawed (or 12-14 chicken tenders)
2 Tbl butter
2 Tbl olive oil
4 Tbl lime juice
1/2 c chicken broth

On a plate, mix seasonings. Sprinkle on both sides of chicken breasts. In a skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove chicken and add lime juice and broth to pan, whisking up browned bits off bottom of pan. Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly. Add chicken back to pan to thoroughly coat and serve.

Raising Healthier Kids - My Experience

Nov 4, 2010

Warning: This is a long post and you may not agree, but this has been our experience and we have made choices for our family based on it and extensive research and prayer.

Hindsight is 20/20. That may sound cliche, but it is the truth. My parenting has evolved a great deal over the past 17 years, especially during the past eight. Once I opened the door to whole foods, holistic healing, and healthy, greener living, I began to see amazing changes in my family's health. I only wish I had learned it earlier so that I could have saved my two oldest sons from the ear infection/antibiotic treadmill and numerous other maladies.

With my first two sons, I accepted it as "normal" for them to experience frequent illness and ear infections. I also accepted it as "normal" to have a visit to the doctor and antibiotics with every earache. Because I was never given any advice regarding prevention {most, if not all, doctors know that dairy should, at least, be avoided during upper respiratory and/or ear infections}, both of my sons ended up on the seemingly endless cycle of infection and antibiotics during their first year. Note that I breastfed both boys past their first birthdays, so up until then they were exposed to dairy in MY diet. Eventually, M1, my oldest, "grew out of them" around 3 and NG, my second son, got tubes in his ears by his first birthday. Of course, when NG turned one, I gave him whole milk according to doctor recommendations and he began to have diarrhea and rashes. The doctor recommended soy toddler formula and I kept NG on that for a few months until the intolerance seemed to go away. Of course, it only seemed to go away because the symptoms changed. NG continued to have sensitive skin and later developed eczema.

As a young parent, I also followed doctor's orders and took my boys in for every vaccination on the schedule. Fortunately, both of them got the chickenpox before they were due to receive the (then) new chickenpox vaccine. Unfortunately, NG received two doses of the Rotashield vaccine before they recalled it due to some children developing bowel obstructions from it. He did, however, end up getting rotovirus about the time he would have had his third shot. When we moved from Indiana to Kentucky, I took the boys to get updated on their shots and was informed that Kentucky's vaccination schedule required about 2 to 3 more shots. Poor NG ended up getting FIVE shots at once! I felt horrible for him but, at that time, I didn't know I had any other choice.

Fast forward to baby boy #3. While I was pregnant with IB, I began to learn, via the wonderful world wide web, more about natural parenting and healthy living. As a Christian homeschooler, who practiced attachment parenting and extended breastfeeding, it just made sense to switch to real, whole foods, avoid vaccines with harmful chemicals and toxins, support our immune systems naturally, avoid the unnecessary use of antibiotics, and keep harmful chemicals out of our home by using natural cleaners. I didn't make all of these changes overnight; it has been a process and still is.

After IB was born, I had learned enough to know that dairy had been (and probably, still was) a problem for my children. Although the medical community, in general, is reluctant to admit a connection between food allergies/sensitivities and ear infections and other conditions, I was becoming convinced that dairy was the culprit behind M1 and NG's ear infection issues and poor immunity. I was exclusively breastfeeding IB when I decided to test my theory with an elimination diet for myself, M1, and NG. We stayed away from all dairy products for almost two weeks, then on test day, we had some sharp cheddar cheese. While I did notice behavior changes in NG, the most pronounced result was that IB developed diarrhea with a horrible bleeding rash in less than a day after MY consumption of cheese. {Fortunately, I had Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm on hand and it healed the rash completely within a couple of days. Love that stuff!} Needless to say, I discontinued dairy for all of us as much as possible. It seemed impossible at first but got easier. We have not remained dairy-free completely but do not consume it as regularly and some of us abstain from it when I notice problems or when someone is ill. For example, NG occasionally has an episode of eczema when he's been consuming dairy too frequently. I also choose organic and, primarily, cultured dairy products, like yogurt and cheese.

Another turning point after IB's birth was our thoughts on vaccinations. While I had been researching the pros/cons of vaccines prior to his birth, we were still on the fence about it. So we went ahead and started the recommended schedule, but when he had his two-month shots, I let the pediatrician know that I was considering stopping. She let me know that if I chose to not vaccinate my child than she could no longer be our doctor. As it happened, IB reacted to those vaccines with fever, vomiting, and high-pitched crying for several hours. So, two months later, we had our last appointment with her (with NO vaccinations) and I found a family physician who respected our decisions and selectively vaccinated his own children. That was the last time we allowed any of our children to receive vaccines. Unfortunately, there was a lapse in communication between the nurses at Levi's birth. He came 3 1/2 weeks early and very quickly {20 minutes after I got to the hospital}, so I didn't have time to share my birth plan with the staff. While one nurse was asking me if I wanted him to have the Hepatitis B shot, the other was giving it to him. "Oh, I'm sorry. I already gave it to him." I still wonder if that was really an accident.

In comparison to my first two sons younger years, my younger three have experienced much less illness and have only had a handful of ear infections between them all together. And even then, we avoided antibiotics by treating them with natural ear drops, warmed olive oil and garlic, and occasionally, Tylenol. It is true that most ear infections will resolve themselves within 48 hours. Our doctor rarely sees anyone in our family. What exactly has caused my children to have stronger immune systems? Avoiding dairy? No vaccines? Avoiding processed food in favor of whole foods? Less toxins in the home? Maybe one more than another, but looking back {that hindsight I was talking about}, I can see that all of the changes we have made in our parenting and lifestyle have tremendously affected our family's health for the better.

I Won a Potty!

Nov 3, 2010

A big "Thank you!" to Cristi from A King's Court IV. I entered her sweepstakes for a new BabyBjorn Little Potty and won. I am so excited because I never win anything AND we really needed a new potty. I got rid of our old one a while back. It had seen better days {before my first four boys}.

My only concern about the BabyBjorn Little Potty is its size. I have read reviews stating that it is best for petite babies or those who are practicing elimination communication with younger babies. And, of course, at only 8 1/2 months and 24 lbs.*, M2 is definitely NOT petite. He is my chunky monkey with plenty of "squish factor". I hope that it will fit him because I like the simple design of it. As soon as I receive it, I'll let you know how it's going to work out.

Update 12/2/10: I received a white potty and it is just the right size for M2 at 9 months. I think that it will be good for taking with us when we go to Mawmaw's but I'm not sure if we'll be able to use it as our regular full-time potty once we start potty-training.

*I am guessing at his weight. He was 21 lbs. at 6 months and has been in size 12 months for about a month.

Have you had any experience with the BabyBjorn Little Potty?

Still have a ass load of shaping, tweaking and mounting to do but the rough shape is pretty good.  It's a interesting design that looks narrow from the rear and wide where it meets your ass. Sorta like having your cake and eating too.   The pretzels are Brads, the guy can't go more than 20 minutes without shoveling something in or he just passes out or gets confused. Interesting metabolism you have there you skinny bastard!

I should explain that Miss Davenport was a tall, handsome lady, with an impeccable carriage, beautiful white hair and piercing blue eyes. She was a stickler for dignity and discipline, and was determined that those boys who were allowed to encroach upon her hallowed domain should behave with due decorum – and perhaps a bit more.

It was the headmaster who taught us European history in the sixth form. If the truth be told, he was not an especially good teacher, but he had a tremendous delight in the subject, which he successfully conveyed to us. Theoretically, we were studying the period from 1763 to 1914, but ‘the Boss’ had such an absorption, almost amounting to an obsession, in the French Revolution and Napoleon, that we never got much further than 1815. Even so, it was he who introduced me to great historians like H.

The landscape of design and advertising is evolving constantly and irrevocably. What’s new? What’s the same? What must we let go of? What do we need to (re)learn? Your (re)education begins here.

Speakers and Topics

Creativity for a Moving World

Given the ever changing, ever expanding context of the world and our industry – How does creativity help businesses to create, grow and transform themselves to be able to thrive in a moving world?

  • As Creatives what is our most effective role and how do we create brands fit for a Moving World?
  • How can creativity help connect people to brands and brands to people?
  • What are clients really looking for?
  • Should we be multidisciplinary in our approach or dedicated to a single craft?
  • Where should the focus of our creativity be – story telling, rigorous design systems, embedding internally, taking to market?
  • Are the traditional agency models dead?
  • How do we keep a creative thread through all communications?
  • What skills does a Creative need to thrive in the Moving World?

The Return of Beauty

Recently, a lot of conversations about design have focused on simplicity, intuitive ease of use, and utility. Let’s talk about the what beauty is and how it can make products more relevant and satisfying to people.

Timelessness in the age of #trending

Timeless design in an age where communication tools and platforms are constantly updating and changing.

We Are Storytellers

Communicating necessary information in emotionally compelling ways is part of our role as designers. The stories we write are what gets under the skin of our audiences; it’s what connects people to products or companies. Whether its defining a brand, showing the function of a product or revealing the concept of a television show, the designer’s role in telling and distilling stories is critical and evolving.

In this session we will talk about the power of story in select motion design pieces and discuss what the role of design was. What qualifies a design piece vs a short film? We will also talk about how social media adds new dimensions to our stories because the audience is invited to help write them. The opportunities are expanding, the mediums are changing and our roles and capabilities must rise to the occasion.

Confessions of a control freak: How I learned to stop worrying and love the question

Questioning and curiosity are both essential parts of creativity. There must be a problem to solve.

There must be a muse – something. Defining what that is involves questioning. Asking lots of why’s at the beginning of a project. Asking questions throughout and when you think you’ve solved it asking even more questions. The longer I work, the more I realize that I don’t know the answer and I’m really becoming ok with that. The only thing that is certain is that change is a constant so the better you are equipped to adapt, grow and question the better you’ll be at this thing we call design.

Move Me

How to craft your story so it doesn’t just become wallpaper, it turns people on.

Fuzzy Magic

Using prototyping to facilitate communication.

It is not the typeface that makes a design, it’s the designer that uses the typeface

As someone that loves typography, this is a difficult statement to swallow. I believe a good designer can communicate any concept with any typeface. By eliminating automated typeface options, you can focus on the idea instead of figuring out which of the billion computerized typefaces to choose from, and the design inevitably becomes stronger as a result.

What Happens when Everything is Connected to Everything

Digital technology and the social web have collapsed the practice (or at least the impact) of brand identity development, advertising, and user-experience design into a creative singularity. Notes on managing an agile design process to keep up.

Design in a Peer-to-Peer World

In a world where peer-to-peer models are changing everything from medical research to running shoes and banks to cars, how does it change design?

When I’m Happy, The Client’s Happy

How following your gut can benefit your client in the end, while scaring/frustrating/amazing them in the process.

What John Hughes films can teach us about the creative director/developer relationship

Today, bringing ideas to life takes more than just a creative team and a director. We have to be able to convince developers to get as excited about our ideas as we are if we want the work to stand out. These are the things you need to know about getting what you need from this unique breed.

The Shout Heard Round the World

How to craft the identity of your brand within the cacophony of noise we call: social media. How can we earn the attention of the audience we want? One Voice. Loud, Strong and Confident.

I Laughed, I Cried, I Remembered: How Humor, Emotion and Wit make for Memorable Branding

Change your career, then change it again

A discussion on how graphic design has changed, and with it our roles

Key questions:

  • How do you define design?
  • How do we add value for our clients?
  • How do you describe your job to your grandparents?

How to remove Isos ransomware?

How to prevent Isos ransomware virus infection?

Similarly to Polizia di Stato virus, Isos ransomware ransomware gets inside the system once you open a malicious email or click on a fraudulent link.

Walking the walk

Regardless of product, market, or history, startups share one defining characteristic: Growth. Startups grow their user base, revenues, staff, and footprint faster than big organizations. There are many ways to grow, from organic approaches like virality and product stickiness to inorganic, venture-fueled customer acquisition. But one of the fastest—and least understood—paths to growth is to work hand in hand with large, incumbent corporations.

This panel brings together startups going down this path, along with directors from accelerator powerhouse Techstars, to explain how established companies, emerging technologies, and early-stage innovators can work together and innovate.

Here are some of the most common questions I am asked and my short answers. If you’d like more detail, please call—I’d be happy to discuss it with you.  ~ Meri-Beth Robertson

Do I really need a Will?

Obviously, as an estate planning attorney, I think it’s important for everyone to have a Will. However, if you have children it is absolutely imperative. A Will is your only opportunity to designate a legal guardian for your children in case something happens to you while they are minors. It also makes sense to include a trust in your Will so that a responsible adult can look after your childrens’ inheritance until they are old enough to manage the money on their own. If parents pass away without having a Will, these very important decisions must be settled in court, which can be an expensive and prolonged proceeding.

Remember, too, that you can always revise the Will later. Often, simple changes can be made with a short, inexpensive Codicil. So, if you and your husband are arguing about who the guardian should be – don’t let indecision paralyze the process. Just get something in place that makes sense now and agree to revisit it in 2 or 3 years.

At what age should I get a Will prepared?

Many people think a Will is something you have prepared around retirement age. However, pick up a newspaper any day and the headlines are filled with stories of people whose lives were unexpectedly cut short. Now is the time to get your planning done.

What documents should I have prepared as part of my estate plan?

I typically recommend that each client have three documents: a Last Will and Testament, a Power of Attorney and an Advance Directive (also known as a “living will”).   That way you focus on all of these issues at once, make sure that all of the documents are in sync with one another, and then file them away with the comfort of knowing that everything is in order.

A Will basically disposes of a person’s assets upon his/her death. It also designates who will handle the estate (“the executor”) and, if there are minor children, who the guardians will be. While a Will can be a simple document, many Wills contain trusts which accomplish a variety of objectives. For example, trusts included in a Will can reduce or even eliminate death taxes, safeguard the inheritance of a young or financially irresponsible beneficiary, and protect an inheritance from a beneficiary’s creditors or a future divorce.   If a Will contains trusts, it will set forth all of the trust terms and will designate a trustee to oversee the trusts.

A Power of Attorney is a legal document which designates a person (your “attorney-in-fact”) who can act on your behalf in legal and financial transactions and can sign legal documents and tax returns on your behalf.   This document can be drafted so that it only becomes effective if you become mentally incompetent (a “springing” power of attorney) or it can be a more general power which, for instance, gives your spouse broad powers to act for you if you travel frequently.

The Advance Directives which I typically prepare for clients contain both an instruction directive (“living will”) as well as a health care proxy where the client appoints an individual (and one or more successors) to make health care decisions for her if she is unable to express her own wishes.

In addition to preparing these documents, I always review how the clients’ assets are titled and take a careful look at the beneficiary designations of their IRAs, life insurance, 401(k)s, etc. This is a critical part of making sure that the whole estate plan works the way it was intended. For example, if a Will contains a thoughtfully drafted trust to hold a child’s assets until he reaches the age of 35, but the life insurance beneficiary designation simply lists the child by name, he will receive those insurance proceeds at age 18 regardless of what the Will says. This is one area where attention to detail is critically important.

I heard the Federal estate tax exemption is over $5 million so why should I worry about estate taxes?

While the federal estate tax exemption amount is currently a very generous $5,430,000, the New Jersey estate tax exemption is only $675,000.  For many New Jersey residents, the value of their house alone puts them into the taxable range.  Add in the value of liquid investments, life insurance proceeds, IRAs and 401(k)s and there can be a hefty New Jersey estate tax bill which takes a lot of people by surprise.

It is true that no estate tax is due on the first death if property passes to a surviving spouse.  While this may seem like good news, it lulls people into thinking that they don’t have to do any tax planning.  A simple “sweetheart Will” in which the husband leaves everything to his wife outright wastes a valuable opportunity to use the husband’s $675,000 exemption.  This is one of those situations where if you don’t use it, you lose it.  The end result—the wife now owns all of the couple’s assets.  When she later dies, she will be able to shelter $675,000 but every dollar above that amount will be taxed before it passes to their children.  If, instead, they had done some planning in advance and had properly structured Wills, they could have ensured that at least $1,350,000 of their assets passed tax free to their children.

New Jersey also has an inheritance tax, which affects people who are not leaving assets to spouses, children or grandchildren.  If, instead, property is passing to siblings, nieces and nephews or friends, New Jersey inheritance taxes will come in to play and should be thoroughly understood.

Is life insurance taxable?

This is a confusing issue for a lot of people in part because of the different taxes involved.  When a person dies and you receive a check for insurance proceeds as a beneficiary, those proceeds are not included in your taxable income – you receive them income tax free.  However (unless some special planning was done – such as owning the insurance in an irrevocable life insurance trust), the full amount of the death benefit is includable in the “gross estate” of the person who passed away for purposes of calculating his Federal and New Jersey estate taxes. That means the proceeds are included in determining whether the estate exceeds the $675,000 New Jersey exclusion amount.

Should I set up a “living trust” to avoid probate in New Jersey?

This is one of the most common questions I am asked and in 99% of the cases the answer is NO. First of all, probate in New Jersey is a relatively simple process. It is not expensive or complicated so there is no need to avoid it. If you live in New Jersey and own a second home in another state (such a s Florida or New York), you may wish to set up a living trust (also called a revocable trust) to own that real estate. This can help to avoid ancillary probate in that second state when you die. Absent this vacation home scenario, it is unlikely that you need a living trust.   I have administered several estates where clients’ assets had been put into revocable trusts during their lifetimes and in many cases, the administration has been more complicated than if they had set up a basic Will and durable Power of Attorney.

A Stay of Execution

That sums up my feelings on this election.

Worldview-wise, I am a traditionalist. I believe in a supernatural Creator of awesome power, who designed me specifically to serve and worship him by choice. I believe the Bible literally, except in those instances where it specifically tells me it is being figurative. I am a conservative, who supports the Constitution as written, and the Republican platform as written. I believe there is nothing new under the sun, and sin for every generation is the same-old story in new wrapping paper.

I believe the vast majority of people have no idea what they believe or why. When confronted with questions about how they arrived at their views, most flounder about and walk away confused or retaliate with meaningless cliches. I've done a little of that myself when confronted with completely new thoughts.

TT: I'm still mulling the whole "Holy Spirit as she" issue, but I cannot reconcile it to my worldview. I won't argue the gender of a spirit, but I also have no need to find my "femaleness" in my God. I'm made in his image. I don't need part of him to be female to make that true, and referring to any part of God as "she" summons images of Gaia and Isis and paganism. Sorry, ladies. I'm a female male chauvinist. I don't see that changing.

I was prepared for a Clinton win. I believe the Supreme Court decision legalizing unnatural marriage was the death-knell of America as I knew it. I know that anti-Christ rules a one-world government that cannot emerge until America is dead.  I know we have sacrificed our firstborns at Molech's altar thanks to Roe v. Wade for 40 years. I know we practice adultery and fornication under every spreading umbrella of a free wifi coffee shop. We are Judah before the exile, and who better to lead us into destruction than Jezebel?

My prayers before the election were for God to sustain his children and allow persecution to purify us of all unrighteousness. There are many today who say "Lord, Lord" who do not know God, and more importantly, are not known by God. Persecution separates sheep from goats, and American Christians are long overdue to suffer for our faith.

My hope before the election was that God would be merciful and give our nation a little more time for the homeschoolers to grow up and take over. I believe he granted that hope, and a day later, I'm as surprised that he did as I am every time he relents over Israel and Judah and gives them another chance.

A day after the election, I see the most ungrateful, corrupt, self-involved flesh-worshippers in the history of the world acting out the temper-tantrums of undisciplined children. I see those who should be buckling down in repentance for our apathy, and mourning for the lost, instead crowing over a worldly victory. Why God bothers with us at all is a continual question for me. But it is not my place to question God's reasons. It is my place to not squander the time I have been given.

So, whether Trump turns out to be Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus or Josiah, I will step out boldly. I will pray daily for God to move the hearts of his people to be actual salt and light instead of a freshwater lightshow of pick-and-choose paganism with a Jesus-flavored coating. I will pray for the hearts of our leaders to turn toward the people they represent, instead of their own glorification and enrichment. I will pray for the heart change that must come before an end to child sacrifice. I will pray for God's truth to spoken and lived, his whole truth, that he is both loving and just. We have forgotten the "just" part, and one day soon, it will devour us whole as he gives us over to the depravity we are determined to indulge.

My hope is not in this world. My hope is in Christ, now and always.

Keep the faith.

Protect Your Home’s Foundation

Protect Your Home’s Foundation

To protect your home from problems that result from foundation damage, you should understand what to look for, how to evaluate damage and what foundation repair must be completed by a professional.

Check Your Foundation

Homeowners should regularly check their foundations for cracks and holes. However, not all cracks suggest major foundation issues. For example, slight cracks may appear during the first year after construction and may signal that the home is settling or the concrete is curing and shrinking.

In addition to an interior and exterior foundation check, watch for cracks in the drywall, around doors and windows and in the exterior siding. If the doors and windows stick or are difficult to open or close, a foundation issue may be at fault.

Crack Evaluation

Hairline cracks should be sealed and may be painted. Any crack wider than 1/8th of an inch should be monitored monthly to identify any expansion.

Basements should be checked for water and smells near cracks, but cracks in the floors may occur as the house settles. However, large cracks, bulges or seeping foundations should be evaluated by an engineer or contractor.

Foundation Repair

If no expansion occurs, small cracks may be sealed with a calk that works with concrete and painted to protect them from seeping, smelling or allowing radon gas to escape into the home. If your landscaping angles down toward your foundation, consider adding soil and moving your plants away from the house. In addition, consider installing gutters and downspouts to prevent water from running off your roof into your foundation.

Any major foundation work, including stabilization or repairing structural issues, may require extensive external and internal work, including excavation or lifting the foundation. Therefore, large cracks and bulging, flooding or seeping concrete should also be treated or repaired by a professional. In addition, many local governments require permits for foundation repairs, which necessitate the services of an engineer.

Ensure the safety of your home by understanding what foundation damages to look for, how to evaluate these damage and what repairs require a professional.… Read More..

Giving your python a bob martin’s

Posted by

As an undergraduate I was taught assembler by a grey-haired lady. My pal called her Mrs Brady, Old Lady like the one from Viz so often that I can’t remember if Brady was actually her name. I do remember that in the labs we would recite what she had said in lectures: load the accumulator in a robotic voice, LDA X etc., and laugh hysterically.

I had forgotten all about Mrs B until the other day when I was giving a mini-lecture called Writing functions in python and all the lovely memories came back: the lecture theatre, her grey hair, her voice and I had to suppress a laugh as I realised that I am now the Mrs Brady, Old Lady at the front of the room speaking in a robotic voice with grey hair.

I think she lectured on acetate slides, but I was completely overexcited to create slides in Jupyter Notebook with a RISE extension, using the notes I had typed in WordPress and converted to Markdown and then I put python code into the slides too so that I could execute it during the lecture and if I had needed to write anything new to test out during the lecture, it would have all been in one place and easy to do whilst not losing my students’s attention. How amazing is that?

Writing a function in python

The thing is, python does actually remind me a bit of assembler in that you can robotically load the accumulator and get immediate results, in fact it is really easy to behave like a crazy cat banging away at a keyboard without any idea of what you are doing.

However, I was taught great coding and software design as an undergraduate – the likes of which I have never seen since on any course anywhere ever since and I like hanging about universities so I have seen a lot of teaching and how to code courses.

I love thinking about good code and software design and how to teach it. Occasionally, I watch Agile Bob Martin on YouTube – SOLID principles of OOD – because he has nice grey hair and it makes me laugh to remember how, as a child when I was ill, my mother used to say: Oh you need a Bob Martin’s which I found out years later was a tonic for dogs.

Taking car 2 to the garage

When preparing the mini-lecture, I googled about for a function I could snaffle as I was pushed for time, but soon gave up, as a lot of the python code I’ve seen online could totally do with a Bob Martin’s. It seems that because python is so easy to get started on and people are dealing with a computer, they forget that the code needs to be legible to everyone involved, and they do silly things like define their variables as car 1, car 2. Imagine, if I had two cars, I would never say to my husband: I am taking car 2 to the garage. I would say: I am taking the jag to the garage. Nor would I say: I am picking up child 1 from football, or I have fed cat 2.

So why are people saying that in python?

I have blogged before how I like to think about how the user and the computer is having a dialog, in the hope of making a new discovery. When we talk to someone, or write a letter, blog or essay, we don’t say everything we know all in one breath, we structure it, and we present one idea at a time, otherwise we only end up repeating ourselves in small blocks until we are understood. In the same way, when we write a function, we don’t want it to do everything all at once, we want it to do one thing.

Therefore, perhaps we can view the function as a sentence in an essay. It says one thing, it makes one point and then we use more sentences to say more things and add more points, until it adds up to a whole essay.

The function as a sentence

A function is a small piece of code. The idea of grouping lines of code together is to define the scope of your problem and the reach of your variable, so that variables inside your function are only recognised locally, and variables defined outside of the function are recognised globally, that is inside and outside of your functions. In python defining a function looks like this:

def name_of_function(parameters)
# some code here which takes the parameters and uses them to make value

Where def tells us that we are defining the name_of_function and then passing it some input (parameters) which the code inside will use in order to find something out and return an output (value).

DRY = don’t repeat yourself

We then move onto the next function to do the next thing, in the same way in an essay, having stated one fact in one sentence, we move onto another sentence to express another idea or state another fact. We don’t repeat ourselves (DRY) and we don’t try to express more than one idea in a given sentence.

So far we have used pre-defined functions, each one does one thing. So, when we want to write to our console, we call the print() command, it ‘prints’ what we want to say to the screen:

[] print('Hello, Ruth!')
[1] Hello, Ruth!

Print() only does one thing, it doesn’t print out a string and give the time, time is dealt with by another function, a different function, we wouldn’t want print() to print out our string and give us the time, that would be annoying. Imagine:

Hello, Ruth! 12:34:22

So, we are precise and DRY and our function is a building block, rather like a sentence in an essay. When we write an essay we structure it, we have an overall theme, we have a beginning, a middle and end. Each section is made up of paragraphs and each paragraph is made up of sentences, each making one point. Our sentences are the building blocks which do one thing in order to construct meaning. In python, once we have our function, we then write more and eventually we create modules and packages. Python or essay writing, we make sure our function or our sentence works. We make sure it is clear, it doesn’t repeat any other code or sentence and we add more and more functions or sentences to build up a body of work.

Sentiment analysis #marmite peanut butter

Sentiment analysis is big business nowadays for companies, simply put data scientists capture and interpret what people are saying about a company’s product so that the company can use the information to inform future strategy.

So, I thought for our first function, I would perform some sentiment analysis on behalf of #marmite peanut butter on Twitter.

I bought a jar the other week and quite enjoyed it but wasn’t sure if I would want to repeat the experience so I took to Twitter to harvest other people’s opinions.

Inspired by the last time I blogged about sentiment analysis, I decided to interpret emoticons. There is a whole list here, though it’s not as extensive as the ascii range on WhatsApp. They have amazing ones like this: (@_@). Anyway, I digress. I decided to keep it simple when I got sentimental about #marmite peanut butter.

First of all I declared two sets of emoticons love and hate, I kept them quite small so we could see what we were up to. Then, I wrote a function marmite_love_hate(tweet) which reads in a tweet from the command prompt and then decides if the tweet expresses love, hate or is neutral about #marmite peanut butter.

I could have written my code to say if tweet has 🙂 then return ‘happy ‘ elif…. else and so on, however, the logic is more stylish if you do the union of the set of the tweet and the emoticon sets. That is, using the set command, put each element of the tweet into a set and then see if any of its elements overlap with the elements in the predefined sets of emoticons_love and emoticons_hate. So, the function looks like this:

emoticons_love = set([':-)', ':)', ';)'])

emoticons_hate = set([':{', ':<', ':('])

def marmite_love_hate(tweet):
     #split the string into words and puts them into set
     words= set(tweet.split())
     #counting up the number of emoticons
     num_positives = len(emoticons_love & words)
     num_negatives = len(emoticons_hate & words)
     #defaults to neutral and makes the logic neater
     if num_positives > num_negatives:
     elif num_positives < num_negatives:
     #returns the result
     return result

And by putting the emoticon sets outside of the function, they could be used in other functions.

Then I wrote called the function from the command line and fed it a tweet.

It worked really well for:

marmite_love_hate('Is this not the best breakfast one could enjoy? ;)')

Result: love.

marmite_love_hate('Ugh, I hate marmite it makes me want to vom :(')

Result: hate.

marmite_love_hate(' Trying #Marmite peanut butter for breakfast. I could take it or leave it. #ambivalent')

Result: neutral.

However, it fell over at this:

marmite_love_hate(' Ugh, I hate marmite it makes me want to vom :( Please don't hate me :) ')

which was part of my cunning plan to get the students to think about creating meaning and how we do we decide what meaning is and how do we then reason with the meaning we are creating.

In a computer we only have two states 1 or 0, which turns out, is how exactly how us humans and our brains function, and the opposites of on/off, yes/no, light/dark is how we create meaning. If we want to do anything different we could think about fuzzy logic and redundancy or the excitingly named quantum computing, where we have a computer in multiple states simultaneously using techniques such as entanglement. But, let’s keep it simple for now.

So, we could take all the words in a tweet set and rank them from 0 to 1 like this: 0, 0.1….0.9 where 0.1 is representative of less hate than 0 and 0.9 is not as loved up about #marmite as the 1 of love. Of course, this is again simple, and in the lecture I actually said 1 to 10 instead to 0.1 to 0.9 so that people felt less put off thinking in numbers as it is the meaning we give which matters, albeit, in numerical form. Assigning meaning is something humans do so easily, computers less so, especially given when you get down to the machine code level.

Hello! looks like this: 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00100001

And, this is how we segued easily from our first function into talking about extending our program into more functions, and we talked also about whether Twitter was the best place to draw our data. Is it representative of the #marmite eating population? I am on Twitter (sort of) and I love #marmite, and am neutral about marmite peanut butter, but I didn’t shout about it on Twitter, so how would I count?

Would I have to change my behaviour and start sharing opinions about #marmite on Twitter if I wanted to be counted in the sentiment analysis process?

Isn’t technology supposed to help us, not change us? Again I don’t want to be codependent on my phone, or Twitter, or anything, yet I fear it may be too late. In this blog of four years ago I said I didn’t need a phone, but now because of the way companies have embraced technology I now need one to park my car, check I am not missing GP appointments, get messages from school and so on. Is this progress? In a word: NO (01001110 01101111).

Extending our function

So, we have our one function, we could improve the logic to cover a whole range of tweets. We could have a function for each emotion and then, we could write more functions to:

  • pull our tweets direct from Twitter (Tweepy and Twitter APIs),
  • read and write to files, because you need more than three tweets,
  • and once we have our tweets in files, we need to include functions which do data munging, which is the term used when we clean up that data and figure out whether to put in spaces, or throw away tweets which don’t make sense,
  • explore different ways of expressing our logic and our interpretations to get different uses,
  • analyse the tweets words and create translate them into numerical values on the fly, as there is no way we would have included all the words,
  • we could even have functions which ask a human to numerically define a word say like blergh because a computer can’t do it alone. It needs human-computer interaction.

The possibilities really are endless and the more modular the code, the easier it is to change your mind or run it different ways and add or delete code.

I’ve said all over this blog that technology is an extension of us, and it really is just a tool. It cannot understand anything without great human effort and input, we need humans to have that all important dialogue with a computer to give meaning.

Luckily I love to talk computers and #marmite and meaning, and then write about it here.

Huzzah! (01101000 01110101 01111010 01111010 01100001 01101000 00100001 00001010 00001010)

You’d destroy your self should you ever talked those expressed terms aloud however.

You quickly came ultimately back to your sensory faculties, glaring straight straight back at him. You couldn’t allow this kid drag you down as if he previously all of the charged power on earth. You leaned in closer, noses brushing along each other’s.

“You’re a brat. ”

The 2nd you finish your sentence your breathing is knocked away from you, lips crashing extremely into yours. You might have dropped backwards through the force as Jungkook ravished your cavern if it wasn’t for the back of the chair but your head was harshly shoved into it.

You whimper, utilizing all of your might to shove him away away from you but his chest wouldn’t budge. He kept their lips locked onto yours, biting and drawing and letting down low, sexy grunts that involuntarily made your panties dampen more as each 2nd passes by.

Just as much in denial, you can’t help but start reciprocating and mirror his ministrations, jutting your tongue out to fight for dominance as you tried to keep yourself. Your damp muscles are synchronizing right into a rough and sequence that is needy in accordance with a particular rough suck from their lips getting the end of the tongue you groan aloud.

He releases you and brings right straight back, a cocky smirk formed on his glistening lips.

You cover the mouth area quickly, “N-no! That has beenn’t- well it’s just-“

He chuckles, getting down seriously to their knees while he spreads your legs available. Grabbing ahold of the legs, he drags you downward so you’re slumped when you look at the chair, “Mmhmmm. ”

“What have you been do- Oh! ”

He cups your crotch within the fabric that is thin of resting shorts, their thumb rubbing hard sectors on your clitoris. You cover the mouth area once more, squirming within the chair while you decide to try your most difficult never to let away a peep.

“After this babe you’re for certain planning to keep in mind my title, ” He claims as he peppers kisses to your internal thighs.

You discrete a muffled moan, your reduced half bucking up from their unanticipated touch. Your pride of perhaps maybe not providing in was putting on slim. He grabs the hem of one’s shorts and peels it next to, their face therefore near to your temperature as possible feel their pants that are hot.

He slides a hand down your slit, “Shit, exactly why are you therefore drenched already? ”

You will not comment right right back so you stayed silent because you didn’t trust your voice at the moment. He appears back as much as you having a smirk that is devilish then presses on your nub once again.

You fit your eyes closed, perhaps maybe not planning to provide into their egotistical ass he wanted that he could get every girl. He chuckled, “Y/N, stop trying. You can’t resist me personally. ”

Just before could state such a thing a little finger plunges straight into your core, cleaning against a place therefore wonderful that the eyes rolled straight back. You gripped the hand rests, biting onto your bottom lip to the level where your own skin broke that you involuntarily lean closer into his touch as he fingers you so precisely and so good. He adds another digit, noisy squelches filling the room due to the fact seat thuds up against the dining table and you also cling on the final strands of sanity you have got kept to provide within you.

Exactly what you didn’t expect had been for him to carry those lips that are soft the equation, his tongue lapping over your bundle of nerves before drawing harshly on your own clitoris.

“JUNGKOOK! ” You cry away, finger finger finger nails searching to the supply rests him to go deeper and faster as you slump further down into the seat to buck into his mouth again, anything to get.

“That’s it sweetheart, ” He says as he laps your folds, again“Say my name. ”

You tossed your pride out of the window, lust blinding your senses and getting a fistful of their locks as he attracts figure eights together with his tongue on your own folds.

“Ju- Ahh, Jungkook, ” you mewl.

“Mmm, you taste like fucking paradise. You can’t be believed by me’ve held this to yourself, you should have I would ike to known how sweet you had been and I also could have done this many years ago. ”

He keeps plunging their hands deeper into you, their tongue perhaps not permitting up also for a moment while he attempts to get every ounce of the nectar inside the lips. You’re a moaning mess, eyes clenched tightly closed you feel as you try to remember all the sensations that he’s making.

You hear a string of low grunts and just exactly what also appears like faint whimpers and slowly available your eyes. You appear down and discrete an also needier moan from that which you see, your core igniting at a much quicker rate.

Jungkook is on his knees, consuming you down want it’s their last dinner along with his hands pumping at a continuing fast speed. Their other side is snaked down into his jeans, approximately rubbing and squeezing at his growing erection. Every moan at himself, releasing another small whimper that he probably thinks you can’t hear but oh you definitely do that you let out he tugs faster.

Just as much him to stop, you sit up and push his face away from you as you didn’t want. You are released by him and appears up in confusion, “What’s wrong? ”

Their chin and lips are drenched in your translucent essence and merely seeing him like this on his knees along with his hand down their jeans got you groaning much more frustration.

You get right up through the seat and then pull him up push him down seriously to lay in the couch. You straddle him, dealing with far from their face.

“Hey, what exactly are you- screw! ” You palm their erection through their jeans, unbuttoning them and going their boxers over. Their cock springs down, standing high in surprise as you look at it.

Shit, it really is pretty big. Positive thing you had been faced away he would have given you so much shit for doubting him earlier from him or else. You grab the bottom of his cock, pumping gradually that it’s actually getting bigger than it is now as you stare in awe. You lick your lips, bending downward to put a peck that is quick the end.

“Fuck, Y/N please, child ahh-“

You swirl your tongue across the top while you continue steadily to pump, drawing lightly regarding the tip.

“Stop teasing me babe, simply fucking get it done already. ” He groans, gripping your ass.

You turn your head back once again to him, pressing your low body right straight straight back more while you situate yourself to align your core to hover over their lips. “You think I’m simply likely to provide you with what you need? Bad news brat you gotta work with it. I’m perhaps not like your other girls, ” You say, providing him a wink.

Their eyes widen in shock, but he quickly replaces their features that are facial their signature smirk. He has a hold of the legs and spreads them further, causing your core to straight sink down onto their available lips. He does not also spare an extra as he buries their tongue deeply into your dripping core.

Dress: ASOS
Shoes: ASOS
Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs

I went ASOS overboard this weekend and ordered an entirely new outfit as I'm super bored of all my clothes and wanted a new kind of look, although it's still 'very Sarah' as my friends would and did say. I totally forgot to take off my black watch :S huge faux pas as it does look ridiculous with an entirely white outfit - woops!

I seem to have neglected my OOTN posts for the last three weeks so I may post them from tomorrow as it's a shame not to include them (especially as I wore a gorgeous Coco Deville top on one of the nights). How was your bank holiday weekend? It was pretty eventful in my hometown. My boyfriend's friend had come down and ended up putting out one of the two fires we discovered on our walk home with his wee - majorly heroic - the firemen were most impressed when they arrived. Some girl had an utterly mortifying accident which became quickly became the talk of the town. Lot's of drama! I hope next weekend is significantly less dramatic.

What did you guys get up to? I hope you had a peaceful bank holiday. I'm super excited to actually have 90 followers!!!!! I better start planning my 100 follower giveaway as a lovely thank you to you guys :D Also, please do check out my GAGA post from earlier today!

Root Veggies

February 2017 issue of《LOHAS 乐活》Magazine

In traditional Chinese diet, we believe eating seasonal food could prepare us for a harmonious life. In winter, it’s time to have different kinds of root vegetables. Its good amount of starch could prepare our body for the coldness and its Vitamin C and other nutrition are also hidden benefits for our general wellbeings. I invited chef Yoli from a leading vegetarian restaurant to take us to her farm to start from recognising different root veggies and their characters, and to how to cook them deliciously.

Why bankruptcy must be an option for homeowners and small businesses to survive this COVID-19 recession

Few Americans are unaffected by the recession and economic turmoil COVID-19 has wrought, with unemployment numbers spiking to Great Depression levels and millions in need of temporary benefits such as mortgage forbearance or expanded unemployment insurance. With no obvious end to the pandemic in sight, it’s increasingly clear that many Americans are sitting on a ticking financial time bomb.

If the U.S. is to avoid a disastrous repeat of the Great Recession, there must be a determined response from government. What Americans need now is a substantial overhaul of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Without this lifeline, millions of Americans could lose their homes, igniting a chain reaction that will slow the recovery and cripple the U.S. economy for years to come.

So far, efforts by federal and state governments to provide relief to Americans blindsided by COVID-19 have helped to stanch the bleeding. But for many, these measures have come too little, too late. Despite more than 16 million people being unemployed, efforts to pass a second federal aid package have stalled, creating the real possibility that the lack of progress from politicians will accelerate the speed and size of the bankruptcy wave — a wave that would surpass the 2008 economic downtown, and possibly become the worst financial crisis of our lifetime.

The numbers are bleak — currently non-housing debt totals more than $14 trillion and more than 7% of residential mortgages are delinquent. This means millions of people can no longer meet their debt obligations, given the size and scope of this pandemic.

Far from being a way to escape financial obligations, bankruptcy is a key part of the social safety net for those who have been dealt a bad hand.

Far from being a way to escape financial obligations, bankruptcy is a key part of the social safety net for those who have been dealt a bad hand — and you’d be hard-pressed to find a worse hand than COVID-19. Bankruptcy is a vital and even necessary means for honest people struggling with finances to obtain relief.

The most common causes of personal bankruptcy include job loss, medical problems and divorce. In this current crisis, bankruptcy may truly be the only real solution for many families and small business owners who never dreamed they would need it. It should be seen as integral to surviving the recession for some Americans as unemployment insurance, loan forbearance, Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, and other relief measures.

Yet the U.S. Bankruptcy Code has not evolved to address today’s global crises. Whatever Congress’ intentions might have been in passing the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) of 2005, it is clear they did not anticipate the seismic economic shocks that Americans have experienced since then. Accordingly, there remain substantial barriers to accessing bankruptcy relief that make a quick and meaningful recovery unavailable to many families.

In May of this year, the House of Representatives took an important step toward reversing this obstacle when it passed H.R. 6800, also known as the “HEROES Act.” The bill includes provisions that would provide critical relief to those burdened by the impact of COVID-19.

For example, it would increase the homestead exemption floor so that debtors forced to file bankruptcy as a result of the pandemic do not lose their homes due to a financial disaster that is far beyond their control. The legislation would protect debtors from having their COVID-19-related benefits, often the only resource standing between them and deprivation, seized by trustees during the bankruptcy process. And it would dramatically expand access to and effectiveness of Chapter 13 bankruptcy by raising debt limits for filing and providing more flexible options for discharging debts or extending repayment plans.

This legislation is a move in the right direction. It now falls to the Senate to craft a companion bill that goes the distance to relieve debtors and provide a light at the end of the tunnel. There is more that can be done, including giving Chapter 13 debtors options to deal with mortgage payments when there has been forbearance on those payments, as well as expanding provisions for relief from onerous student loan debts. One thing is clear: doing nothing is not an option.

Without decisive action, Americans who have lost jobs or businesses through catastrophes beyond their control will be mired in crippling debt they cannot repay. They will not soon return to the earning, spending and investing behavior that will be essential for America’s recovery. The long-term health and competitiveness of the U.S. economy will suffer for this mistake.

Bankruptcy reform is the fresh start — and the economic kick-start — we desperately need. It’s a solution with bipartisan appeal, and with the pandemic not likely to end anytime soon, it’s time for Congress and the Trump administration to come together to make this a priority.

John C. Colwell is president of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.

Halloween is our absolute favorite time of year to decorate our living spaces. We both love to add festive touches into our existing decor. Here is a look at what we did last Halloween! In preparing to decorate this year, we once again realized just how truly busy we are and had time to purchase just a few new items, dusted off some of our old favorites, and came up with new (but quick) overall looks. Here’s a peek at how each of us used our different styles to create the right look for our homes and what we have goin’ on this Halloween.

T Side: Being the mom of one little girl and another on the way gives me exactly the excuse I need to do things super girly! I included fluffy florals, ruffles, and pink plaid in my decor, and I don’t regret this decision one bit! My tablescape turned out super cute … I can’t wait to have our Halloween guests over!

Plenty of pumpkins mixed with silk peonies makes for the perfect table runner this year.

A new textured table cloth and paper goods with a fun pattern … I really didn’t have to make big purchases to change up the look of my space for fall.

Here’s a preview of my treats I am making for Halloween night. Ghost Peeps, gummy brains, and other sours will make these skewers so much fun!

L Side: We have been so busy here at Side by Side Design, that I almost haven’t had time to do much preparing for Halloween. My girls have almost gotten more into the spirit of the holiday picking out pumpkins at one of our early October trips to Trader Joe’s and changing up their costume ideas of what they want to be most days. Earlier this week, they were all home as a last attempt to kick whatever bug was going around my house, and I decided to do something fun to lighten the mood. I set up a little Halloween surprise which really made their day.

I set up their play table (party of three) and added some spider webs to our fireplace to keep up for the rest of the month.

I couldn’t resist these adorable party plates and napkins and added some other fun details I had lying around.

My girls loved the set up, and Ava was quick to notice the pillows I “borrowed” from her room, saying “It’s ok Mommy … I know you like things to match”.

Sometimes it’s just fun to eat lunch at a party for no reason!

I even made a little dessert tray to finish it off.

As you can see, we each have our own style when it comes to decorating, but we also love to see what each other comes up with. Halloween lends itself to millions of different directions you can go. What is your plan this year? We can’t wait to hear how you decorate your space for Halloween, and of course (as we are very visual gals) we would love to see photos as well. Send them our way!
