Passion for a territory

By purchasing lagAlpi's products, you directly support all those alpine realities with an original and traditional soul.

lagAlpi products are a real treat and are genuine and authentic. I found an unobtainable grappa that I had been looking for for a long time and I was delighted. I recommend trying all the honey varieties!

My children gave me a wonderful present: a basket full of delicacies from lagAlpi. I discovered many ingredients I didn't know about, such as apricot vinegar, which is now a must on the table, and I made a delicious risotto with their rice. I am looking forward to the new order.

We Tested Taco Bell's New Upscale American Taqueria, U.S. Taco Co.

Taco Bell and its parent company Yum Brands are opening up shop on their first fast casual concept, U.S. Taco Co., on the Strand in Huntington Beach on August 11, with high hopes of tapping into an audience of higher income eaters with more discerning tastes.

Chef Rene Pisciotti—who has worked with Taco Bell and Yum Brands for 7 years and developed the Cantina Bowls with Top Chef Masters' Lorena Garcia—was tapped to craft the U.S. Taco Co. menu. He and his marketing cohort Jeff Jenkins traveled the country researching the concept, exploring America's iconic eateries for inspiration.

"We were able to draw from local favorites in food culture and put the best of America in a taco," said Jenkins continued. "This is not supposed to be Mexican food."

The result is what could be considered American comfort tacos that play on the country's favorite junk foods all stuffed into a fluffy tortilla.

Those tortillas, of course, come from Taco Bell's supplier Mission Foods, which may upset authentic taco enthusiasts who dote on masa and the masterful skill of East L.A.'s tortillerias. But other than than the wrap—and the prevalent Pepsi Co presence, of course—there's not much of a resemblance to their fast food father.

U.S. Taco Co. has traded cold plastic seats and unflattering fluorescent lighting of the fast food giant for a more modern look. Aesthetically speaking, the place is pretty smart; you really could be in any hip cantina in San Francisco's Mission District. The vibrantly colored space looks strikingly similar to the newly popular Vietnamese fast casual restaurant East Borough in Culver City or a cheaper version of Scottsdale's Barrio Queen. There are Dia De Los Muertos skulls everywhere, and plenty of poppy colors and decorative Spanish tiles throughout.

The nod to current trends and the modern diner is no mistake.

This first location of U.S. Taco Co. in Huntington Beach is just a testing ground for what the brand hopes will be a massive expansion. It's a smart move considering the growth of the fast casual sector right now, with places like the Panda Express Innovation Kitchen constantly trying to play catch up with the success of Chipotle and 800 Degrees. Even McDonald's is spending a great amount of money trying to rebrand itself and gain the trust of its customers by opening a "learning lab" here on the West Coast to gather feedback about the food, environment, and other aspects of dining at the Golden Arches.

That's not to say that all the elements of fast food-dom are gone. The fried chicken in the Winner Winner taco tastes and looks strikingly like KFC's chicken tenders (KFC is also part of Yum Brands Portfolio, but we're told that though the chicken is not done in-house, KFC is not the supplier.) But there's one thing you can't get at a truck stop on the 5, and that's the ridiculously delicious leche shakes. The sweet and creamy Friggin Fried Ice Cream shake—perhaps a nod to Christina Tossi's popular cereal milk desserts—is one thousand percent delicious. As are their heavily seasoned steak fries, which are conveniently hulled out to allow for easy scooping of jalapeño ranch dip and ghost chile ketchup.

Are the dishes a bit over the top and totally indulgent? Yes. But something tells me they'll do just fine with the shirtless surfing crowd smoking e-hookahs outside on the Strand.

10 Years Today

(Please click on the images to see them at their full size.)

Laughing Knees is 10 years old today! What started out as a way to express my rage and anguish at the Iraq War and Bush, gradually lost it’s fever and mutated into something much closer to my heart. It’s been a long, long journey, not always easy, but also never boring. Blogging has connected me with people around the world I would never have met otherwise, some of whom have become close friends, and most of whom I am still in touch with even today. While I haven’t been around much for the last two years, lately I’ve begun to revive my interest in blogging and slowly uploading material that wasn’t part of the blog in the past. I hope to make Laughing Knees more comprehensive, but also more focused. Hopefully you, my friends, will find more to read and think about in the coming 10 years.

(These are not the best of my drawings, just a sampling of my recent, first scans. I hope to get some of the better ones up soon.)

Laughing Knees started out as a reaction against the Iraq War, and was the only way that I was able to express the rage and anguish I felt. But as time went on I couldn’t sustain the anger, and reverted back to my normal, daily thought-about connection to the natural world and being outdoors.
Laughing Knees started 10 years ago today. I’ve been designing and redesigning elements of the design and layout again and again, never quite happy with what came up on the Web, or simply too unskilled to get it to be the way I wanted it to be. My original goal was to make the blog resemble pen-and-ink drawn illustrated books of the 1920’s, and of Tove Jansson’s wonderful, wonderful series of Moomintroll books. Alas, I could never quite figure out how to get the images in there. I’ve gotten the basics of CSS design and layout down, but not well enough to really do a good job controlling the elements.
Study for a sidebar banner for Laughing Knees.
Originally the blog was supposed to have a separate banner for each category, but at the time I didn’t understand what the difference between categories and tags was, and hadn’t quite understood the way that loops had to be used, so was never able to implement more than one banner for the whole site, except when I divided the website into 5 separate websites… way too much work!!!
It took quite a few years to begin to really understand exactly how a website navigation system is supposed to work. Coming from books, I had a tendency to think in static pages, not quite getting my head around the fluid nature of hyperlinks. Because of that there was a lot of redundancy in both pages and links.

Naturally it wasn’t all the blog that was on my mind all those years. However, besides writing and photography, I’ve also spent countless hours drawing the world around me and figments of my imagination. Recently I took out 30 years of sketchbooks, backs of envelopes, napkins, and margins of tests and note-taking during boring work meetings, and started to scan what I hope are the more interesting outtakes. Here are a smattering I’ve started with:

Drawing something helps you to understand something, and see it, much more comprehensively than taking a photograph does. I’ve been drawing and examining and sitting for hours watching insects, birds, plants, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, spiders, the wind and rain, clouds, mountains, and ocean waves all my life. I can’t imagine my life without them.
I have to been to the Yatsugatake Range more often than any other higher mountain range in Japan. I’ve been going there since I was 10 years old, staying at a school camp in Kiyosato. For some reason it holds a special place in my connection to mountains, seeming to pull me toward it every opportunity I had. I got married there, did my one and only hike with my father, wandered the higher trails crying my eyes out the week after my wife and I made the decision to get divorced, and immediately followed by the tragedy in New York on September 11, and slept for the first time in snow. A special place.
domestic_plant_studies 001
I’ve never been very good at taking care of plants at home, though I’ve always had some growing if just to bring in some life to the often dreary living quarters I had. I have doubts about keeping any kind of living thing captured, away from their natural homes.
I love writing by hand and doing my best to make the writing look well proportioned and flowing. I started when I was in elementary school and am still learning to get the proportions right. Because of my diabetes my nerves don’t work so well anymore and at times it is very hard to get the pen to do my bidding. Practicing the writing helps keep me steady and to see new ways of forming the letters. I’m still not happy with my signature after a whole life attempting to get one I like!
In the early days of my lightening up my backpacking load, I started out with this gear. The Hilleberg Akto tent was, at the time, one of the best lightweight solo tents around. 15 years have passed since I started, and along the way I went to the lightest I could get it to go, just about 3 kg. But when arriving in camp late in the evening in the cold and rain, with nothing but a long night under my tiny tarp to contend with, I began to miss being able to read or while away the hours with my camera. So I began to add back those things which allowed me basic creature comforts so I could enjoy the trips, just enough to make it worthwhile, but not so much that I ever got bogged down again. Ultralight changed the way I walk and spend time outdoors, or even traveling.
Beth 1991
It’s amazing how the women I’ve known in my life have changed me and unwittingly helped me to grow as a person. While not always tranquil, much of what I learned was an opening my eyes to both what other people are and how they see the world and want to live, as it was a growing understanding of who I am and what worth I have. Beth, probably more than any other woman I’ve known intimately, helped to understand that life is for living fully, no matter how difficult the circumstances. I will never forget her elfin smile and indomitable flair for adventure.
people_studies_002_plane passenger
Airplanes are like hell to me… an enclosed tube in which I must sit for many hours without moving. One way I pass the time is to draw sketches of people around me. It often helps me to empathize more with the often short-tempered or unpleasant reactions many of them have when I encounter them. Often it’s led to conversations and friendships.
When you take the time to look, you will see tenderness everywhere. It isn’t all anger and violence and indifference, that seem all-prevading when you browse the Internet. This is what the world is made of and what keeps it beating. Without it where would we be?
View of Akadake, the highest peak in the Yatsugatake Range.
Walking along a country road outside Kiyosato, in the Yatsugatake Range, Yamanashi Prefecture
People are endlessly fascinating. I love sitting somewhere and just letting myself become part of the place, while watching people and drawing them in all their emotional and behavioral range. strange for someone who is very shy and doesn’t communicate easily with people…
It’s been a while since I did live model drawing, but it is still one of two of my favorite subjects to draw. The other is landscape drawing. Even though the subject is just a human being, the expressions you can discover and the connection that we humans have to one another becomes more and more apparent, and trying to bring that out without making it look like a caricature is one of the most difficult tasks an artist can try to master.
Hands and feet are among the most difficult parts of the human body to capture correctly. Especially the hands. I have a particular love for feet. They can be incredibly beautiful.
Zoos are very painful places for me to enter. Few zoos treat animals with enough knowledge and respect to allow them to live even close to their natural way of living, and I believe no animal should be in a zoo. But the Singapore Zoo was, to some extent, an exception. I wandered about the park-like grounds and spent hours drawing the inhabitants.

Congratulations on your 10 years of wonderful writings and images, Miguel. I think I’ve been reading for almost nine of them. I think your previous blog designs have been beautiful, yet you have strived for even better… this is lovely. I really enjoyed looking at your sketches! All best wishes for continuing pleasures in this medium for many years more!

Miguel, congratulations on 10 years of blogging and thank you for the many fine, searchingly thoughtful posts I’ve read here. I just love seeing these drawings — especially the portraits and the pictures of feet and the mountain landscapes — and hope you’ll post some more. It would be great if you revitalized Laughing Knees. I think a lot of people are getting tired of shallowness and constant chatter of the social networks and want some deeper content again – we’ll see what happens – but I for one would be happy to read your thoughts in greater depth, or see your artwork. Best wishes on the next decade!

Congratulations Miguel — and thank you. I’ve always enjoyed your writing and photographs, and I love the energy and confidence of your drawings. I look forward to enjoying and thinking about many more of your posts.

Marja-Leena, I’m always shy about showing my drawing work to a real working artist. You’ve spent so much time developing your craft that it’s a bit humbling. I’m glad you liked the drawings.

Zurui, thanks. I’m not nearly as prolific as you are, but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve put out so far.

Beth, thank you! I’ve always wanted to share my drawings with you, because I admire you work a lot. I love the way you paint and draw, especially the series on Iceland. And I would very much like to get more involved with the writing here again.

Pete, thank you! The enthusiasm for blogging has been growing again lately. LIke Beth said, a growing need for depth and meaning in the conversations has made Facebook more and more dissatisfying. I hope I can do the blog, and my readers, justice.

This series of drawings and notes has been a delightful window into knowing you better and really enriches your blog, Happy 10th blogaversary. May you get back as much joy as you give.

Question 28 of 365: Are we responsible for the Web 2.0 graveyard?

Question 28 of 365: Are we responsible for the Web 2.0 graveyard?

As I look around the web, I see the shells of formerly great web services. I see the Flowgrams that could have been. I see the Google Notebooks that wallow in disuse. I see the missing Jumpcuts that provided me with so much hope and pleasure. I have spoken about these web applications vanishing from the face of Web 2.0, but I kind of always blamed the companies themselves for going out of business. I mean, it is their fault that they gave away their products and then had no way of making money, right?

I am coming to the conclusion more and more that we share a lot of the blame for Free being the standard pricing for all of the things that we want on the web. I think that the culture of “free music” and “ad-supported” services have lead us to believe that any new service that comes along should offer a huge chunk of their functionality for free, especially to schools and non-profits. This is what we have been demanding by presenting on topics like “Free Web 2.0 sites to engage your students” and “How to leverage free social networks for marketing and engagement.”

Other people have written much better about what the price of “Free” really is, but I think that it is time we stop looking to others for what we have created. We have created an unsustainable model of ownership. By craving the products that make our life easier but asking them to be free is making sure that we will never be able to hold on to them for very long. We will be forced to make the choice, either pony up and start providing funding for the resources that we need or let the web become a wasteland of good intentioned companies.

(To be sure, there are many web services that I would never pay for and that should not have been funded as a company, but there are things that I would pay for and I just wish someone would ask me to.)

Advertising can’t be the wave of the future, even as much as those who are in charge of Augmented Reality are pushing for it. There really has to be a point at which that we take the helm and start owning access again. I would feel better about cloud computing, cloud storage, and cloud applications if I could pay a monthly fee or buy the product up front.

We are our own worst enemy in the race to find the next “big thing”. When we spread the word virally about a new service, we shouldn’t be putting in the “but it costs” as a detrimental part of our pitch to others. We really should be extolling the virtues of a good business model. We should be saying: “Come check this out. It is exactly what I need, and guess what? It costs money! I actually can pay for access to it so I know it won’t be going anywhere soon. Come and pay money with me so that we can collaborate together and not lose this service.”

Essentially, if everything is free, then everything is equally expendable. It really doesn’t have “value” if we won’t pay for it in some way or another.

  1. The market's responsible. Insofar as we are the market, we are responsible.
    That's the easy answer. I don't know that it's the rightest answer.
    The thing is, the markets we've been studying for years have been relatively easy. They've been financially driven. The capital, by and large, has been tangible. We know how much something is worth in a financial market.
    Online spaces, interpersonal spaces, open spaces utilizing a capitalist model are often without financial relevance. Flowgrams shut down because it “couldn't figure out a financial model to continue.”
    What if we supported our belief in the importance of intellectual capital by putting our money where our minds are?
    What if I had three options for downloading a song from iTunes – I could either pay money or I could upload a song of my own creation or I could write a certain number of reviews?
    Instead of money moving to later (and less efficiently) fund creation, let us create marketplace where creation feeds consumption. What if I'm only able to read your next blog post if I comment on the previous post? Are we ready for that? Are we ready for truly capitalizing on our ideas? Are we ready for the market's rejection of our intellect? Are we ready for big box chain minds and boutique minds? Or, is there a value to free we only find in the Law of Unintended Consequences?

  2. I like the idea of creation feeding consumption. There isn't any
    reason for us to not create that kind of system, especially in the
    face of contracting business models for music, movies, and books.
    Bartering really is something that needs to find a 2.0 version at some

Shopping Attractions in Glasgow

For that the second best shopping experience of the United kingdom, take a look at Glasgow. The amount and number of shops is surpassed only by London. Add varied shopping encounters – pedestrianised roads, shopping malls, markets and arcades – fabulous restaurants and eateries, and delightful historic structures all around the city shopping in Glasgow is not just a visit to the shops – this is an event!

Pedestrianised Street Shopping

Glasgow’s city center boasts three outstanding pedestrianised shopping roads where one can browse, shop or simply sit and individuals watch in complete safety. Buchanan Street, Argyle Street, and Sauchiehall Street would be the focus of the majority of the shopping in Glasgow, each with another character. Pedestrianised at its eastern finish, Sauchiehall Street hosts many well-known outlets for example BHS, HMV and WH Cruz, and smaller sized chain shops offering discount prices. There’s also two shopping centres – the Sauchiehall Street Center and also the Savoy Center containing many small outlets selling artwork, jewellery, clothes, furniture and junk food.

Buchanan Street has had over from Sauchiehall Street as Glasgow’s primary shopping precinct. Apart from some major retailers for example Frasers and Borders, there are lots of smaller sized, designer shops and specialized niche boutiques. Its large width causes it to be ideal for street entertainers who perform throughout the year and increase Glasgow’s busy, cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Argyle Street hosts a few of the UK’s greatest retailers – Marks and Spencer, HMV, Gap, Next, to mention merely a couple of.

All In One Place

Glasgow’s malls really are a shopping Mecca. The Buchanan Galleries towards the top of Buchanan Street is considered because the best mall within the city center. It’s 80 shops including John Lewis, H&M, Habitat, and then are a mixture of big retailers and smaller sized boutiques which sell fashion, accessories, clothes and gifts.

The St. Enoch Shopping Center near Argyle Street may be the greatest glass structure in Europe and is easily the most central from the city’s malls. It’s very warm and friendly with lots of shops for kids for example toy shops, the Disney Store and gaming outlets, and houses big retailers for example Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, TK Maxx and Boots. Additionally, there’s an enormous food court. Seating over 850, you may enjoy an array of MacDonald’s, KFC, DiMaggio’s, and Chinese food, or just go ahead and take weight off your ft and revel in an espresso.

Princes Square on Buchanan Street may be the designer shopper’s paradise. It is a sophisticated mixture of designer and specialist boutiques selling fashion, lifestyle, gifts, and art and crafts, cafe’s offering fresh coffee and residential baking, and quality Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Italian and Scottish restaurants. It’s beautiful interior including theatrical center space with mosaic floor, glass roof, brass and glass lifts, and wooden features, causes it to be attractive for shoppers and browsers alike.

Merchant City

Merchant City is a touch shopping oasis supplying a quieter shopping experience choc filled with atmosphere. Situated a brief walk east of Buchanan Street and Argyle Street, it’s little traffic, is an excellent spot to explore, and it is most likely Glasgow’s most cosmopolitan shopping area. Its chic bars, restaurants and occasional shops, exclusive boutiques, awesome galleries, and specialist outlets sell from antiques, designer jewellery, accessories and clothes. Nestled just behind George Square may be the Italian Center. Around its beautiful, authentic piazza are exclusive and designer shops and boutiques including Emporio Armani and Versace, and Italian pavement cafes the right spot to sit and relish the unique atmosphere.

The Barras

No shopping visit to Glasgow could be complete without a visit to the renowned Barras market. Merely a five minute walk along Argyle Street’s pedestrian precinct, the Barras is really a market filled with Glasgow character. Initially in early twentieth century, traders setup their stalls on barrows. The current Barras includes a street level indoor market underneath the celebrated Barrowland Ballroom, and outdoors a maze of stalls and bazaars selling everything from antiques, DVDs, clothing, and also to junk, bric-a-brac and burgers and chips. It is a fabulous spot to visit only for the climate alone.

Getting There

Glasgow’s excellent travel links make travelling around the town fast and simple. With multi-floor vehicle parks at Sauchiehall Street, St. Enoch’s Center, Buchanan Street and Waterloo Street driving was easy. Making your way around the town is created easy and convenient through the subway, known as “The Clockwork Orange” by Glaswegians, and trains, buses and taxis are all around and frequent. Most Glasgow shops are open from Monday to Saturday 0900-1730/1800. Thursday is night time shopping with shops open till 8pm or later and many bigger retailers open every sunday.

For that epitome of retail therapy, visit Glasgow for any great day trip or short shopping break.

History Isn’t Being Erased. It’s Being Engraved.

As the protests following the death of George Floyd have mushroomed into a broad-based nationwide movement for criminal justice reform and racial equality, we have seen scores of statues and monuments associated with slavery and the Confederacy toppled. And on the heels of these dismantled monuments, like clockwork, traditionalists have emerged from the woodwork to admonish the protesters against “trying to erase history.” They would argue that we should leave intact these statues—which memorialize people who fought and died to protect the institution of slavery—because to destroy them would constitute an Orwellian revision of our history that would doom us to repeat it.

But to tear down these monuments to the progenitors of our nation’s greatest sin would not be to erase our history. In fact, it would accomplish the exact opposite: it would help accelerate the generations-long, arduous process of moving this horrific era in our nation’s past from the most accessible layers of our cultural memory, where it currently resides, to our history, where it belongs.

The distinction between memory and history is crucially important, because history is nothing more than a catalog of events that have filled our nation’s history, but memory is what those events mean to us and how we carry them today. We don’t get to choose our history, but to a large extent, we get to choose our memory. What is happening right now in cities across the nation is a rare and remarkable thing: enormous, powerful masses of American citizens declaring, in real time, that America’s shameful story of slavery belongs in its history, not in its memory.

To remove something from our memory is not to diminish its importance or deny that there are valuable lessons (very valuable lessons) to be drawn from a certain piece of history. It is simply to assert that our children and our grandchildren and every generation thereafter should live in a nation where they study something as history, rather than live it as part of a present reality. In this case, it is an assault not on the history of slavery, but on its persisting legacy, which is perpetuated and reasserted every time someone walks past a Robert E. Lee High School or a Jefferson Davis Boulevard. After all, memory is what ties the past to the present, and to sever that cultural link is a vital step to moving on not just from a piece of history, but from its pervasive and lasting effects.

If citizens or governments don’t take deliberate, decisive action to turn memory into history, there’s no telling how long a piece of history can sit prominently in a nation’s cultural memory. Take Serbia, for example, whose most celebrated national holiday commemorates a battle that took place in 1389. Or look at the Middle East, where geopolitical relationships are complicated by a religious schism that happened in the 7th century. History can have tremendous staying power—sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

Americans tend not to look at history with as long a view as in most other parts of the world, so it doesn’t seem to occur to many people that this could be an issue that plagues our country for centuries to come. People seem to believe that, with the passage of time, the legacy of slavery will slowly evaporate like a glass of water. Perhaps they’re right. But it’s certainly not difficult to imagine this issue staying in our memory, lodged in our present rather than in our history, for generations and generations.

Doing away with publicly sanctioned monuments to those that fought to preserve slavery goes a long way toward dislodging its legacy from our memory and etching into the checkered annals of our history. It is but a fraction of the work that will be required to make reparations and forge a society anew, but it is among the easiest concrete things we can do right here and right now to move forward. To do so would not be a disservice to American history; the real disservice to American history would be to keep the legacy of slavery in its current role as a bedrock of our cultural memory.

Hey, You. Congrats On That Loaf Of Bread You Baked.

Hey, buddy.

I was just strolling through Instagram, as I’ve been doing almost ad nauseam for the last week, and I saw something that caught my eye: a round, rustic loaf of bread posing on a cooling rack.

My god. Did you bake that yourself?

I mean—I am truly in awe. As you mentioned in your own caption, it came out quite well. Have you always baked bread? Did you work in une boulangerie? Was your father a lowly baker, always struggling to make ends meet but deeply fulfilled to create something that he could sell at affordable prices to his beloved community? Did he show you how to bake that?

Oh. No? It’s your first time? Ah. I see. Ohhh, that’s right, you did mention that in your caption. I must have missed that. Maybe I was just distracted by that luscious golden loaf, the finest loaf of bread I’ve ever seen in my pathetic life.

Well, I just dropped in to say that I am endlessly happy for you for this loaf of bread. I’ve never seen something so perfect, certainly not 45 seconds ago when I was browsing an earlier section of my Instagram feed. I cannot wait to see the rest of the loaves of bread you bake, and have total faith that you will post every single pic of them so I can see them on my shitty, shitty, shitty Instagram feed.

Eleven and Twelve Year Visit

A child’s eleventh and twelfth years are a time of transition into early adolescence, often called the “tween” years, accompanied by emotional, social, physical, and cognitive changes.  These changes can provide not only challenges, but many opportunities to grow for both children and their parents.

This time can be stressful for pre-adolescents as they go through physical changes and are preoccupied by how their peers perceive them.  Some pre-adolescents will try to change their appearance by dieting and over exercising.  It is important to reassure them that their development is normal and that the media and their peers often make young people have an inappropriate and even dangerous perceptions of what is a normal body.  Encourage nutritious snacks and meals, limiting foods with high fat and sugar content.  As far as exercise goes, do what you can to make sensible, enjoyable exercise a part of their lives.

The AAP recommends vitamin D supplementation for all infants, children, and adolescents.    After reviewing the literature, it certainly looks like many children may benefit from vitamin D, although not everyone necessarily needs it.   Some children are more at risk for vitamin D deficiency than others.  Risk factors for vitamin D deficiency include dark skin (African-americans, Indians, Hispanics), time spent indoors and not out in the sunlight (particularly in the winter months), low amount of milk consumption (less than 16 oz a day), and obesity.  The recommended dose is 400 IU (international units) once daily.  This can be bought over the counter in either liquid, chewable, or pill form.  Another option would be a multivitamin (i.e. Flintstones Gummies Complete ).   Read the label carefully when dosing this to your child.  Too much vitamin D can be harmful.

During these years, your pre-adolescent is trying to achieve more independence and individualization.  Peer relationships assume top priority.  They will want to do things their friends do.  While it is important to allow your adolescent some choices to learn independence and decision making, talk with them about the dangers of drug use, alcohol use, smoking and sexual relations.

The two most common causes of adolescent mortality are violence and motor vehicle accidents.  Teach them that decisions they make today may affect them for years to come.  Some specific decisions that pre-adolescents make involving smoking, TV viewing, sports, extracurricular activities, and internet usage.

Your role as parent should be to discuss these issues openly, trying to avoid “preaching”.  Be aware that a significant number of children start smoking as early as twelve years of age.  In addition to reducing physical activity (leading to obesity), TV viewing and internet usage expose children to many undesirable influences.  Therefore, limitation of time spent in front of the screen and encouragement of sports, both team and informal, activities is desirable.

It is important to understand that your pre-adolescent may be suddenly challenging parental authority.  This is normal as the importance of peer relations and independence increases.  Your pre-adolescent needs to be allowed some autonomy, at the same time, it is also important to establish realistic expectations and rules.  Working out ground rules together in advance with your child will make decisions easier for everyone.

Parents must not abandon their roles as guides and authority figures.  Respect your child’s need for privacy and try to minimize criticism and praise them for positive behavior.  This will help keep the lines of communication open between you and your pre-adolescent and will make this time of transition easier for the whole family.

A Tdap is required for entry into sixth grade and we also administer the meningitis vaccine, Menactra, at the eleven year physical.  Other immunizations that will be given during the next several years will be chicken pox booster, Hepatitis A series if not given already(2 shots given 6 months apart) and the HPV vaccine (3 shots are in the series).

Here Is Why You Should Have A Trust

According to reports, Michael Jackson (M.J) left almost half of his assets in a Trust to his three children. The acclaimed King of Pop insisted that 40% of his estate should go to his kids: Prince Michael – age 12, Paris – age 11 and Prince Michael II – age 7. A further 40% of his Trust should go to his mother Katherine, while the remaining would allegedly go to a number of yet to be named children charities. While it is reported that M.J left a whooping USD400million in debt; the interesting thing about this is that M.J’s assets estimated to be worth billions of dollars are held in a Trust. What does this mean? It means that his USD400million creditors cannot touch the assets in the Trust. Do I hear you asking what is a Trust?

What Is A Trust
A Trust is an arrangement whereby one person agrees to hold property for the benefit of another. The creator of the Trust is called the “Settlor” or “Grantor”, the person agreeing to hold the property for the benefit of another is called the “Trustee” and the person for whose benefit the property is being held is called the “Beneficiary”.

Types Of Trust
We intend to focus more attention on this aspect in subsequent chapters but suffice to say that Trusts can broadly be classified as: Living

What Is A Living Trust
A Living Trust is a Trust created during one’s lifetime and it takes effect during that lifetime. A Trustee under a Trust holds your assets. The Trustee will follow your instructions regarding the use of these assets during your lifetime and upon your death.

It can either be revocable or irrevocable.

What Is A Testamentary Trust
A Testamentary Trust is created as part of a Will and becomes active after the Settlor’s death. With a Testamentary Trust, properties must go through probate before it becomes subject to the Trust agreement. A Testamentary Trust is always revocable because it is part of a Will, which can be changed at any time.

Revocable And Irrevocable Trust
A Revocable Trust is one that can be amended, changed or even terminated during a Settlor’s lifetime. An Irrevocable Trust is one that cannot be amended, changed or terminated during the Settlor’s lifetime except by a court order or the consent of the Settlor and all the beneficiaries.

Difference Between A Trust And A Will
The main difference between a Trust and a Will is that a Trust does not require the legal formalities of probate.

Benefits of Having a Trust
Trusts are confidential, tax-efficient and highly flexible financial planning instruments used to provide for specified beneficiaries, during and after your lifetime. Traditionally, it has been used as a method of reducing the exposure of assets to taxes and other legal claims as well as specifying the use to which those assets can be put. Though Trust can be used in many different ways, they are commonly used for:

You can be sure that the identities and interests of Settlors and beneficiaries are kept secret until the Trust terminates as the assets are held in the name of the Trustee. In fact there is no legal requirement for a Trust to be released to the public.

Estate Tax:

You can minimise estate taxes if you have a Trust in place as assets held in Trust will not be subject to tax in the estate of the deceased person.

Asset Protection:

A Trust can help protect your assets from creditors.

Succession Planning:

With Trust, you can make plans for your family members (immediate and extended), relatives and friends, charities and other organisations as you desire.

Asset consolidation and management:

With a Trust, you can put all your assets under one holding vehicle, with the Trustee holding and managing the assets for you. This simplifies both the management and financial reporting of the assets through a centralised vehicle.

Today in Sports History: October 14

By Brandon Zhu

On this day in 1979, NHL’s greatest scorer Wayne Gretzky scored his first NHL goal. Gretzky, nicknamed “The Great One” led an unparalleled 20-year career in the NHL. Gretzky was never the biggest, strongest, or fastest, but his intelligence and feel for the game was unmatched. Gretzky was great at dodging checks and consistently anticipated where the puck was going to be. He executed plays with perfection and his favorite area to set up was behind the opponent’s net, an area nicknamed “Gretzky’s office.” Gretzky currently maintains 60 official records in the NHL even though he retired in 1999. In the regular season, Gretzky records include most career regular-season goals (894), assists (1,963), points (2,857), and hat-tricks (50). In the playoffs, he holds records for most goals (122), assists (260), points (382), hat-tricks (10), and game-winning goals (24).  Gretzky has won four Stanley Cups with the Oilers, and he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1999.

Posts Tagged ‘downtown Grand Haven shopping’

Le Top interviewed one of our favorite Facebook friends and top premier store retailers for this Friday’s “Store Spotlight” – Aberdeen’s.  Boutique owner, Megan Needham, tells us about treating a customer right, funny quotes she has heard in her store and her favorite Le Top Fall collection.

1.     Where did the name Aberdeen’s come from?
Megan: The previous owner’s husband went to Aberdeen’s University!

2.     You probably have seen hundreds of mommies and daddies come through your store and hear them speaking with their children – what is the funniest or sweetest thing you have heard come out of a child’s mouth recently?
Megan: I recently heard a child say, “Mommy, you have to keep an eye on me, I’m very curious.”

3.      What is one special fact about your store that a typical customer wouldn’t know?
Megan: I have owned the store now for 3 years. I take pride that I am at the store every day and have no employees.

4.     What sets you apart as a successful children’s store?
Megan: Customer service. I put in a lot of time at the store and have gotten to know my customers on a very personal level.

5.     Are you a native? Describe the neighborhood your store is in.
Megan: I don’t live directly in Grand Haven, but I live just north, and would love to move to Grand Haven in the future. Aberdeen’s is located in a great little downtown area that is just a walk away from Lake Michigan.

6.     What type of clothing did you wear growing up as kid?
I wore a mixture of dresses and casual clothing, and in the summer I practically lived in my bathing suit. (who doesn’t as a child, right?)

7.     What tip would you give to a parent dressing a child?
Buying higher-priced quality clothing is worth it in the long run – it holds up better, so that it can be worn a lot more and passed down through many children.

8.     Today, kid’s “live for” super heroes like Dora the Explorer or Buzz Light Year.  Growing up I am sure you had some sort of child super hero – For example, Rainbow Bright, Batman, Spider Man, Scooby Doo, etc. Who was your hero and why?
I didn’t watch a lot of TV when I was a child, some movies… but I never really had a specific hero that I lived for. I did, however, have a grey cat stuffed animal that I wanted to be! 🙂

9.     If you had one piece of advice for someone trying to break into children’s retail, what would it be?
Customer service! Be sure to treat your customer right, do whatever you can for them, get to know them and what they want!

10.     What is your best or most memorable moment in your store?
When we first bought the store 3 years ago, we had very little time to find a location to move the store into. We had only two days to get the space that we rented ready before we moved in! It was a lot of hard work (phew!), but well worth it in the end!

11.     What collection or piece from Le Top or Le Top Baby line do you love from the Fall/Holiday 2010 collection?
The Gentle Giraffes (boy and girl) collection!

Posts Tagged ‘introduce new food to kids’

With the holidays here – your kids are probably eating cake, sugar cookies, cupcakes, and tons of candy (as we all like to do as kids)…and it can be tough as a parent to get your children to actually want to eat healthy when they eat more junk food during the holidays. Letting kids eat unhealthy food increases the chances they will become overweight and eat a poor diet as adults. Kids who eat a healthy diet are more likely to get enough nutrients, have more energy, build strong bones and muscles and maintain a healthy weight. Parents can encourage their children to make healthy eating choices by providing lots of healthy options, being patient and setting a good example.

Here are some tips on how to get your kiddo to eat healthy and persuade your little one not be such a picky eater!

1.  Make a schedule. Children need to eat every three to four hours: three meals, two snacks, and lots of fluids. If you plan for these, your child’s diet will be much more balanced and he’ll be less cranky, because he won’t be famished. Put a cooler in the car when you are out with your kids and keep it stocked with carrots, pretzels, yogurt, and water so we don’t have to rely on fast food.

2.  Plan dinners. If thinking about a weekly menu is too daunting, start with two or three days at a time. A good dinner doesn’t have to be fancy, but it should be balanced: whole-grain bread, rice, or pasta; a fruit or a vegetable; and a protein source like lean meat, cheese, or beans.

3.  Don’t become a short-order cook. Don’t get into the bad habit of preparing a meal for your kids and one for you and your partner. It can be exhausting. Prepare one meal for everybody and serve it family-style so the kids can pick and choose what they want. Children often mimic their parents’ behavior, so one of these days, they’ll eat most of the food you serve them.

4.  Introduce new foods slowly. Children are new-food-phobic by nature.

5.  Dip it. If your kids won’t eat vegetables, experiment with dips. One example is when your child tries your first veggie such as a carrot, dip it in ranch dressing or even hummus, salsa or some sort of yogurt-based dressing.

6.  Make mornings count. Most families don’t eat enough fiber on a daily basis, and breakfast is an easy place to sneak it in. Make up batches of whole-grain pancake and waffle batter that last all week. For a batch that serves five, sift together 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour, 4 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 2 Tbs. sugar. When you’re ready to cook, mix in 2 Tbs. ground flax meal, 2 cups water, 3 Tbs. canola oil, 1/4 tsp. vanilla, and 2 Tbs. applesauce.

7.  Get kids cooking. If your children become involved in choosing or preparing meals, they’ll be more interested in eating what they’ve created. Take them to the store, and let them choose produce for you. If they’re old enough, allow them to cut up vegetables and mix them into a salad.

8.  Cut back on junk. Remember, you — not your kids — are in charge of the foods that enter the house. By having fewer junk foods around, you’ll force your children to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products.

9.  Allow treats. Having less healthy foods occasionally keeps them from becoming forbidden — and thus even more appealing. Even treat them to McDonald’s for lunch every so often.

10.  Have fun. The more creative the meal is, the greater the variety of foods my kids eat. We make smiley-face pancakes and give foods silly names. (Broccoli florets are “baby trees” or “dinosaur food.”) Anything mini is always a hit too. I often use cookie cutters to turn toast into hearts and stars, which the children love.

11.  Be a role model. If you’re constantly on a diet or have erratic eating habits, your children will grow up thinking that this sort of behavior is normal. Be honest with yourself about the kinds of food messages you’re sending. Trust your body to tell you when you’re hungry and when you’re full, and your kids will learn to do the same.

12.  Adjust your attitude. Realize that what your kids eat over time is what matters. Having popcorn at the movies or eating an ice-cream sundae are some of life’s real pleasures. As long as you balance these times with smart food choices and physical activity, your children will be fine.

In Deepest Waters

Do you ever have a yearning for more?  Not more stuff.   Not more clothes or gadgets or food or holidays.  A different kind of yearning altogether.  The one that sits in the pit of your stomach that nags and gnaws at you.  You can’t put your finger on what it is no matter how hard you try to discover its starting point and so you can’t get rid of it, it just sits and hovers.  This nagging and gnawing often does then lead to us reaching out for more stuff in hope that it will settle the feeling and make it go away.  We tell ourselves that maybe the feeling is because we are missing something; we need something new and then everything will be ok again.  Job done!  This leads to internet searches for new cars and new phones, the latest iPad or the newest fad.  Long internet searches lead to a swirling of the brain and a new uncertainty as you try and decide which is the best thing to get.  When at last you finally get into bed at night even though you switch the light off your brain still feels like there is a light bulb burning bright in there.  That search for something new to quieten the nagging does in fact create a whole new problem in itself.  Restlessness, poor sleep, distraction, uncertainty.  All problems that will result in stress and ill health.  And guess what?  That nagging feeling is still there yet now its worse because you didn’t manage to solve the problem.

We wont all feel the nagging and gnawing in the same way, for some it will be mild and only from time to time.  Maybe life is already so full up and so busy you manage to keep it at bay for longer.  But what happens in the lull?  When you diary is looking empty and you don’t have something immediately on the horizon.  Does that uncomfortable feeling come on?  So you instantly reach out for your phone to text someone to make an arrangement?  For others of us I think this problem is worse.  No matter how busy you are, no matter how much stuff you have, that feeling of dissatisfaction and restlessness just never go away.

How about we give that nagging and that gnawing a name:

Even when written down it looks horrible doesnt it?  It’s a hard word, a strong word and rightly so because anxiety is a hard problem and also a very strong problem.  The occurrences of anxiety are constantly on the rise with more of us being medicated for the problem than ever before.  I myself have been treated for anxiety on a number of occasions throughout my life and hand on heart I can say it is a truly awful feeling.  What I think is especially difficult about anxiety is that we can suffer with it for so many different reasons.  Sometimes its because we are stressed, sometimes its because we fear being lonely, sometimes is because we are sitting exams, moving house or getting married.  A whole number of different things and reasons.  But sometimes its because nothing this world has to offer us satisfies us.  It is a truly complex feeling and it doesn’t just effect us emotionally, it can actually have a very physical effect upon us.  Dry mouth, metallic taste in the mouth, palpitations, shaking, insomnia, upset stomach.  The list goes on and on.  The question is, how do we manage this anxiety?

I have placed the words from a song called “Oceans” by Hillong United throughout this blog and I will share the recording of it at the end as it is a truly beautiful and deeply stirring song.  The essence of the song is that God is calling on us to step out in faith, to step out on the path He has for us and recognising that this path will never cause us harm.  He will never let us sink, He will never let us drown because taking the faith to step out on the waters with Jesus is when He is able to support us the most.  When we are coping with that gnawing feeling all by ourselves, filling life up with crutches to keep us steady, then He can’t help us because we aren’t asking for help.  But as we have already seen those crutches don’t actually do a very good job.  When we tell God that we are willing to follow Him wherever He will take us, then He can act and He can take us in His embrace so that our feet will never fail.  This isn’t an easy thing I know.  I have been a Christian for thirty years, yet I still need to come to God about my anxiety (sometimes every day, sometimes only once in a while) and leave it with Him.  Sometimes though anxiety can be used positively to push us on and out to taking the next step in our journey.

Since getting back from South Africa I have had anxiety worse than I have had it for a long time and each day I ask God why.  Surely as I step out in my journey with Him in these areas of human rights He is there with me?  Guiding me, leading me, caring for me?  Yet my anxiety persists.  Yesterday this song “Oceans” came to me and when I woke up this morning it was in my head again so naturally I listened to it and read the words and said them over and over.  When my husband asked me what was wrong this morning (he always knows!) I said, “I am just so dissatisfied.  I want to be doing something, I want to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty but I don’t know how to or in what way”.  As I said these words out loud I realised that the cause of my anxiety right now is because I want to do so much more, I want to offer more to others and I want to get going with it yet I feel stuck by circumstances.  The outcome?  This anxiety, horrid as it is, is actually spurring me on to take action and to make new choices and to search harder for what my calling is.  It’s there, I know it is, I just need to keep bringing it to God every day and asking Him to show me where He wants me to use my rolled-up-sleeved arms.

Another occasion when anxiety spurs us on is when our spirit is seeking God.  The bible tells us that our spirit is what bring us life.  The bible describes the spirit as being what gives our bodies life (“It is the Spirit who gives life” John 6 v 63) and that without our spirit we are lifeless (“the human body apart from the spirit is lifeless” James 2 v 26).  The Formula 1 doctor who was sat with Ayrton Senna when he died said that even though he isn’t a spiritual man, the moment Senna died he felt his spirit leave him.  He said he has never experienced anything like it before (see the end of the Senna movie for his quote) and this is a powerful testimony from someone who does not even believe in God as to the spirits presence and it’s life-giving ability.  Even Jesus’ very life was formed by the Holy Spirit.  When Mary asked the angel how she will have a baby when she is a virgin the angel replies “The Holy Spirit shall come upon you” (Luke 1 v 35).  And so we see that it is the Holy Spirit that brings about life through our human spirit.  So then it surely makes sense that our human spirit seeks a relationship with its creator the Holy Spirit, in the same way we seek to have a relationship with our earthly parents.  Even for those who have very damaged relationships with parents, there is always a desire to have a parent who will care for you and look after you.  Those who have been without that love and protection tend to be damaged by its absence.  So, I conclude that our spirit seeks to know God, to have a relationship with the best father we could ever hope to have because our spirit understands that God can truly provide us with all that we need, even if we don’t recognise it ourselves.  This is where I think that nagging and gnawing feeling often comes from and why it can be hard to recognise.  The feeling comes from a restlessness of our spirit to find God but we push it down by buying something new or keeping our diaries busy to distract the feeling.

Please know that this isn’t a lecture as all these feelings can be true of Christians as well as those who don’t believe in Christianity.  We are just as susceptible to being distracted by things that we think we need and by a feeling that we can do things alone.  It is the natural human state to think we can manage alone.

So if you are suffering with anxiety, or have suffered with anxiety (as we all have at some point to varying degrees) whilst it may stem from a stressful situation or fear, why not ask yourself if it maybe goes deeper and maybe the stressful situation or the feeling of fear is in fact just the way in which your anxiety is manifesting itself.  There is a good chance though that you are in fact being asked to step out upon the water, the great unknown where feet may fail but where you find Him in the mystery and call upon His name, He’s never failed and He won’t start now.

    We need more of this! There is more to life indeed!
    I love ‘oceans’. Me and my sister often sing together at church and this song is one of our favourites.
    God bless! 🙂

Why has BT Sport axed its best show?

The European Football Show is one of the best football programmes on television. BT Sport's decision to cancel it is an insult, and proof of how little they think of their viewers.

SWITCH OVER TO BT Sport now, and you’ll invariably be met with the most expensive ex-professionals imparting their wisdom from the glossiest studios, or pitchside at the biggest and noisiest matches. Since launching in 2013, BT Sport has been perfecting its product, showing the very best of English and European football, and letting the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard lead the conversation, with the seasoned arbitrage of Gary Lineker. Even better, the Champions League and Europa League are now their exclusive property.

With all this in mind, why is it such a tragedy that the European Football Show, a weekly discussion of continental highlights presented by a bunch of journalists, has been axed? On the face of it, EFS is not a headline-grabbing televisual event; it’s relaxed, sober, a little obscure, and the presenters are hardly household names. Yet there is so much of the wit, intelligence and warmth that the shiny Champions League specials sorely lack, and the well-informed presenters are far easier on the ears than the meaningless platitudes spouted by your Rio Ferdinands and your Steven Gerrards.

Presenter James Richardson – best known as the host of Channel 4’s Football Italia in the 1990s – is joined by his chums James Horncastle, Raphael Hönigstein and Julien Laurens, allowing the show to take on a friendly, easy-going tone, akin got a group of clever, funny friends sharing obscure football knowledge. The show is the television equivalent of leafing through an old Panini sticker album. It has nostalgic recollections of classic teams, quiz questions, goal highlights, and witty repartee between luxury football experts – exactly the kind of people who ought to matchday pundits. Horncastle in particular, grinning smugly as he over-pronounces the names of Italian players, has always been a favourite in our house.

Axing BT’s most innovative programme suggests that it thinks of its viewerships as slack-jawed, tabloid-reading stereotypes.

Axing what is easily BT’s most cerebral and innovative football programme suggests that the network thinks of its viewership as little more than slack-jawed, tabloid-reading stereotypes. When compared to the channel’s usual suspects, these are almost football academics. We don’t yet know the show’s replacement, but a parody site came up with the ludicrous The Savage and Brazil Banter Bus, evidently mocking the idea that BT’s coverage has been aimed increasingly at the lowest common denominator, a patronising caricature of the laddish football fan.

The Savage and Brazil Banter Bus may not be real, but it speaks to the truth of football broadcasters pandering to the most pernicious stereotype of the un-educated football fan, and to their over-reliance characters like Robbie Savage. With his typical tiresome belligerence, he is the very worst of the ex-professional-turned-presenter, a non-entity as a player whose career was lifted by a middling performance on Strictly Come Dancing, and whose punditry consists of little more than falling out with the guests and co-presenters who disagree with him.

BT Sport have never been blessed with high ratings. In fact, their absorption of more and more high-profile ex-professionals show how desperate they are to drag people away from SkySports, whose Champions League-less programming still draws a larger audience. The problem is, the European Football Show has a loyal following – search social media for references to it, and all you’ll find is utter dismay at its cancellation – so axing it will do nothing to solve their low viewing figures. It is probably BT aren’t quite aware of just how well-liked the show is. The cachet that broadcasting EFS gave the network will be entirely lost.

Fortunately, James Richardson and friends can still be heard of The Guardian Football Weekly, a bi-weekly football podcast which fairly similar content. It’s a shame, though, that this is now apparently the only outlet for intelligent football conversation. Soon, I suspect, BT Sport will come to regret their decision, and viewers may in fact find themselves further put off by the network’s programming. They cannot sustain themselves on already under-watched European nights alone, and if SkySports can make the right offer to Richardson, Horncastle, Hönigstein et al, they might just come across the formula to compete with their younger rivals.

    Agree with this.
    Have to point out though that the ‘Savage and Brazil Banter Bus’ was a concept created by a parody account (TBN sport- The Banter Narrative) and isn’t actually a thing…

The Wise Men find The King

This story is from Matthew 2:1-18

To tell the story you need – some Wise Men, toy camels and a star. You can add some actions too – stars with hands (like in twinkle, twinkle little star), running, looking, kneeling.

The story

Bible Truth for Toddlers – Jesus is King

Far away from where Jesus was born there were some Wise Men. They read books and knew a lot. They loved to look at the stars in the dark night’s sky. One night they saw a new star! They looked at the new star and they looked at each other. ‘Wow! they thought, ‘this new star means that a new king has been born in Israel. Let’s go and worship him’.

So they packed their things and set off for the important city of Jerusalem. They travelled for a long time. It took days and days to get there. When they arrived in Jerusalem they asked everyone they met, ‘Where is the new baby king?’

Now, there was a king in Jerusalem called King Herod but he wasn’t a baby; he was a grown up and he wasn’t at all happy. He didn’t want a new King! He heard that there were men from a far away place who were asking people, ‘Where is the new king?’ This upset him and it upset the people who were living in Jerusalem. He sent for the men from the temple. ‘Where is this new King to be born?’ he asked. The men from the temple knew the answer because it was written in the Bible. ‘In Bethlehem.’ they said.

Herod sent for the Wise Men and he told them to go to Bethlehem and find this new King and then come back and tell him where the new King was so he could go and worship him too.

So off the Wise Men went. It wasn’t too far to go now. As they got nearer something very special happened. The star was there again and this time it went before them and shone right over the house where Jesus was. The Wise men had found Jesus and they knelt down and worshiped him. They took their treasures out of their bags and gave them to Jesus. They gave him gold, frankincense and myrrh. These were special gifts for a King.

The Wise Men never told Herod where Jesus was. God warned them not to in a dream and they travelled home.

Herod didn’t want to worship Jesus. He wanted to get rid of him. An angel told Joseph to take Mary and Jesus and run away to a different country till it was safe to go back home.

Joseph did what the angel said and took Mary and Jesus to somewhere safe far away from Herod. When the danger was past they went to back home to Nazareth.

Some star craft ideas

For a star craft – decorate a star wreath shape and add some tissue paper for a stained glass window effect. Or use Christmas card pictures to decoarate a star.

Make a Wise Men stained glass window. For instructions see this blog post Christmas stained glass – paper plate!

Paint a star shape. This is a wooden star but card would be fine too.

A Mother’s Day Gift

For my first Mother’s Day as a brand new momma, Blake splurged and bought me….

… a vacuum.

It was a Dyson and I was overjoyed about it 😉

In all honesty, he had bought it previously to aid in my endless quest to clear the half-ton of sand brought up from the beach on dogs’ and children’s feet from our house each night, and it had just happened to arrive on Mother’s Day.

My true Mother’s Day gift had arrived in the pre-dawn hours, earlier that day.

In the charcoal light, I had been jolted awake by Henry’s cry. Over the past few days, he had been going through a phase of waking frequently in the night, often with a desperate cry. As always, my eyes flew open and my mind had lurched itself awake. As I flung the covers off and swung my legs out of bed, Blake’s hand reached for my arm. “I’ll get him”, he mumbled. I hesitated. Nighttime duty was usually mine, not for any lack of effort on Blake’s part, but mostly because half the time, he didn’t even wake up to Henry’s protests.

Reluctantly, I conceded and got back under the covers as Blake donned my terrycloth bathrobe and headed for the kitchen to bottle up before attempting to soothe Henry back to sleep. I lay awake in the dark. It was 3:30am and I listened quietly to Blake’s soft chatter to Henry.

Unfortunately, after two bottles, two attempts at settling him and an hour later, Henry was still belting out his best cries.

“Sorry babe”, Blake apologized, handing me the bottle as I padded out of our bedroom.

Once in the nursery, Henry’s screams amplifed. In the disorenting dark, I felt with my hands for his body in the crib and brought him into my arms. His stiff body, taught with anger, froze, then melted against my chest. His snotty, tear-soaked cheek rested against mine as I held him, slowly and wordlessly rocking side-to-side. In the silence, a tiny breath of air escaped from his lips and his contented murmur drifted across the silent, dark room.

In that moment, I held my breath and squeezed my eyes tightly, willing myself to emblazon this moment into my consciousness. To hold it in my memory for years to come – when he inevitably breaks or loses something precious, leaves socks strewn about, crashes the family car or morphs into a sullen teen that yells “I HATE YOU!”.

But for now, he is my precious sweet-cheeked baby boy, clinging to his mother.

I wiped his face carefully and laid his sleeping, chubby body in his crib. I couldn’t have asked for a greater Mother’s Day gift.

CAF has four ways to wear earrings and fashionable appearance

Hoops are a bit of gem with a long convention – individuals in Antiquated China enhanced themselves with studs, and they use them to communicate their status. The equivalent goes for the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. However, long the gems itself, there is a convention of penetrating.

Additionally, before we recommend you some stylish ways you can wear them, we have four cleanliness tips for you:

  • The administrator should carefully wear dispensable gloves and cautiously sanitize hands.
  • The earplug and top must be kept in shut, dispensable bundling.
  • On the off chance that an extraordinary instrument is utilized, it must not come into direct contact with the ear and must be purified after each utilization.
  • These likewise apply to the punch workstation and all work surfaces.

These are the way to wear them.

Connections – One, two, and three now and again, it’s simpler to quit tallying. Why Buying Online Ammunition is Better? The biggest advantage of purchasing ammo online is that you’re going to save a lot of money. Consider a regular store that requires employees, pays taxes and has a lot of overhead expenses. An online vendor doesn’t have to pay for any of those expenses and their overhead is a LOT lower. Those savings are passed on to you, the consumer, and you can end up saving a lot of money. The second advantage of online ammo purchase is it’s delivered within a short period of time (meaning no trip to the store). Visit for 10 best place to buy ammo online!. The good stunt is to purchase a few sizes of loops and orchestrate them from the biggest to the littlest, and you can hang them and change their pendants and pendants. An exceptional classification is alleged. Huggies that don’t need a piercing yet “embrace” the ear.

Twofold – This embellishment isn’t for those with a low agony edge – it is positioned as the second hard puncturing! In case you’re a Miley Cyrus fan and still have a pixie haircut, why not check it out?

Insight Piercing – The description of this perforation is gotten from the Hebrew term daith, which implies knowledge, or information, and many cases that wearing a hoop in this spot can reduce your headaches. We unquestionably suggest that you check this data with your primary care physician and get ready for an outrageous degree of torment when penetrating an opening!

Tragus – Scarlett Johansson has upwards of eight perforations to her left side ear; however, from the outset, it won’t seem like it since she embellishes them with tiny hoops. Tragus puncturing isn’t excessively complicated, and simultaneously it looks the sexiest of all the referenced.
