One of the worst-kept secrets in Washington is how often lawmakers repudiate proposals they once supported -- a move that risks being amplified, however unfairly, into charges of flip-flopping. But at times such a shift can draw new scrutiny from interest groups looking to coax a member of Congress back toward a once-favored idea.
For a small group of House Republicans, one of those pressure-prompting votes may have come in the summer of 2007, when a national renewable electricity standard won 32 GOP votes before passing the chamber as part of a broader bill, with 26 GOP supporters.
The new House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton of Michigan was among the Republicans backing the larger energy measure, with its 15 percent renewables mandate, while current House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) voted for the mandate before opposing the bill that carried it. With President Obama now throwing his weight behind an electricity standard that would add nuclear power, natural gas and "clean coal" to the mix for utilities, Upton and Ryan could be publicly reminded of their past openness to such a national mandate.
Republicans who embraced the renewables standard during its House consideration in 2007 "will be put on the spot to support a clean energy standard in 2011," Center for American Progress Action Fund climate strategy director Daniel Weiss said in an interview.
"However, the key question is whether or not such a proposal will even be passed through the House energy committee," Weiss continued. "So far, the initial signs from Chairman Upton suggest that he is uninterested in that approach."
Upton's camp highlighted that take on the CES, which would count nuclear and natural gas alongside wind and solar, by circulating a Wall Street Journal column 10 days ago that quoted the chairman questioning the need for a "federal mandate" when 28 states already set their own renewables standards.
But while Upton voted against the amendment that added a 15 percent renewable standard to the 2007 House energy bill -- language that never became law in the wake of Senate resistance -- his vote for the broader bill suggests a vulnerability to cajoling that environmentalists are already moving to exploit. The League of Conservation Voters launched a website Friday dedicated to depicting Upton's turn toward a more conservative energy policy as a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" dynamic (Greenwire, Feb. 4).
Upton's public openness to a mandate for lower-carbon power dates to as recently as 2009, when he told Democrats that he "would in fact support creating a national electricity standard" provided that it includes "any form of zero-emission power." That description matches up with the CES that Obama pitched during last month's State of the Union address.
Upton's office did not respond to requests for comment by publication time.
Looking beyond the powerful Energy and Commerce chief, several other Republicans who voted for the 2007 energy bill signaled that they would be open to a national standard that accounted for regional differences and ranged beyond a straight renewables mandate.
Rep. Tom Petri (R-Wis.) voted against the renewables amendment in 2007 "because he felt that a one-size-fits-all federal standard was not the right approach and that we should allow states to each set their own," spokesman Niel Wright said via e-mail. "[H]e voted for the final legislation because he has always supported investing in alternative and renewable energy sources and he thought the bill was strong in that regard.
"Going forward, Rep. Petri is open to discussing a federal standard but would still have many of the same concerns as he had in 2007 ... in formulating any standard, whether at the federal or state level, we should think broadly about what constitutes a renewable energy source," Wright continued.
Another lawmaker who supported the broader 2007 bill after voting against the renewables mandate, Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.), would craft an electricity standard by "empowering as many resources as possible and respecting the views of our respective states," spokeswoman Lisa Wright said.
For example, if a nationwide consensus on nuclear power is not possible, Bartlett would allow states that want to make it part of their energy mix to trade electricity credits with similarly inclined neighbors, Wright said.
"You're not going to get the House Energy and Commerce Committee to consider anything that doesn't have that type of regional flexibility," she added.
Rep. Tim Johnson (R-Ill.), who voted for both the renewables-mandate amendment and the broader energy bill in 2007, also hopes to see an inclusive approach, spokesman Phil Bloomer said. "We've got it all right here in central Illinois -- lots of coal, we've got a nuclear plant down the road, and we've got huge wind farms," he added.
The offices of several other Republicans who backed the 2007 energy bill that featured the renewables mandate did not respond by publication time to a request for comment on their openness to a CES this year, including Reps. Frank Wolf of Virginia, Dave Reichert of Washington, Steven LaTourette of Ohio, Chris Smith of New Jersey and Todd Platts of Pennsylvania. The latter lawmaker co-sponsored the 15-percent-by-2020 renewables standard that garnered 32 GOP votes.
The three-and-a-half years that have passed since that debate, however, may prove an insurmountable eternity given the heightened partisanship on energy issues that has reigned since House Democrats in 2009 pushed through a climate bill that ultimately failed in the Senate. Indeed, the Upton-authored phaseout of incandescent light bulbs included in that 2007 energy bill has drawn harsh criticism from Rush Limbaugh and other conservative pundits.
David Jenkins, vice president for government affairs at Republicans for Environmental Protection, noted that this year's Energy and Commerce roster "has a lot of players who are pro-fossil fuel," making Upton "not the best test case" for determining how deep the House-side support for a CES might lie.
Still, even Energy and Commerce Chairman Emeritus Joe Barton (R-Texas) -- who challenged Upton from the right for the panel's gavel and opposed the 2007 energy bill -- offered on the House floor during debate that year to "work together on a bipartisan basis on a renewable portfolio standard that could be supported."
Among the crop of swing Republicans on that year's energy bill, Jenkins pointed to Platts and Reichert as well as Reps. Mary Bono Mack of California, and Rodney Frelinghuysen and Frank LoBiondo of New Jersey as "more of a barometer" of backing for a CES.
Yet Weiss, of the Center for American Progress' advocacy arm, said he saw a "more plausible pathway" for approval of a CES going through the Senate before being added during conference talks, sidestepping an early House vote. Even that outcome, he projected, could face long odds.
"[I]t's hard to imagine any [energy] legislation passing until there's a definite settlement of whether or not to suspend EPA's authority to address carbon pollution standards," Weiss said. "Because that issue will intrude on every other issue and lead to gridlock in the Senate."

I am in love with London but I am ravenous for the world. I have a raw, salacious appetite for its wisdom and its taste. I just love to devour it raw, unrefined and in its most basic forms. I am always eager to travel the world, to drink in all it has to offer; from its concrete jungles to its natural beauties. I want it all. I suppose that’s how I found myself washed up on the shores of New York, my second favourite city in the world.
As I made my way to arrivals I hear a tannoy overhead. “Melanie A to baggage claim 10, Ms. A to baggage claim 10.” And as I emerge from arrivals he is standing there, solitary in double denim. He picks me up and swings me around. “I had to tannoy you, I thought the Americans had kidnapped you. I’m glad you’re not dead.”
Surely that’s all you need in life. A someone that is glad you’re not dead. In a city that never sleeps.
Let’s not call it love though. If the best cure for one’s bad tendencies is to see them fully developed in someone else, then what if you see the best of yourself in someone else? Are you inspired? Does it scare you or excite you? I’m not talking about sharing a love of Breaking Bad, I’m talking about someone whose certain being aligns with your certain being.
We broke into an abandoned rooftop bar and watched the sunset behind the Brooklyn bridge and stayed up to stargaze until the thick October evening began to chill our bones.
I fell in love with New York all over again. I felt powerful walking across those streets – like I owned them. Those grid roads sprawl out like your own mini catwalk that you own every time the green man says walk. There is enough space to stride across with a fierce power, rather than stumble and gait and try to emerge unscathed the other side of tourists when you cross in London. After traveling 40 minutes for the best bagels early one morning in New York we poured champagne into our green tea bottles and walked down the whole of Central Park and joined the local kids for a game of basketball. New York is brimming with pleasant surprises.
New York is all encompassing and I love to feel anonymous and alone in big cities. To me it is a very comforting feeling to be made to feel like a little fish in a big pond, like a reminder to keep pushing forward. Anonymous can be good. It can help remind us of the best versions of ourselves, the one we allow to come out when we are not surrounded by familiarity. And New York? New York, I’ll be back soon.

I cannot stop making these cute houses!!! I LOVE the Scalloped Treat Box and ALL of the add on dies! This time, I am using the new Dog House add on set. If you know me, you know I love doggies… so this was a must have! There was no tutorial or intro video for this set, so I kinda had to wing it using the sample image on their website. Hopefully they come out with one!
I layered white cardstock and the pink/green polka dot cardstock to make the “slats” you would find on a dog house… used pink sparkly cardstock for her bowl & bone up on the roof. I cut that cute little doggy out in tan felt and decorated her with a blingy bow and collar! I also glued a piece of black cardstock on the backside to darken her eyes and nose.
This set is soooo cute! And that pup is even cuter!!! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs- Kim

The autogenous cartilage implantation procedure (ACI) is utilized for those patients who have a small localized area of arthritis on the end of their femur (thigh bone). FDA approval was obtained for this procedure in September 1997. Its use in the patella, tibial plateau, and other joints is still considered experimental, but has been proven to be useful for specific lesions in some centers.
ACI is not indicated for those patients who have advanced arthritis or arthritis on both sides of the joint (femur and tibia or femur and patella). It is proven to be effective for the treatment of small localized articular cartilage lesions (2 - 10 cm²), which are due to osteochondritis dissecans, traumatic injuries (such as a joint injury after an anterior cruciate ligament tear), or those with small localized areas of arthritis for which no specific cause can be determined. In addition, it is important that the selected patient not have any malalignment of their lower extremity (such as a varus (or bow-legged), or valgus (knock- kneed) knee), or any ligamentous instability. In these patients, any instability and/or malalignment of the extremity must be addressed prior to attempts at ACI. In general, the x-rays for patients who are candidates for an ACI procedure show no or minimal osteophytes (bone spurs) on their x-rays. The average age range for a patient who may be a candidate for an ACI is 15 - 55 years. Patients older than 55 are generally found to have thinner cartilage present in their remaining cartilage outside the area of the lesion and are generally felt not to benefit from this procedure.
Patients who have local areas of arthritis in their knees are generally found to have pain localized to the joint line with some possible intra-articular crepitation (crunching) associated due to the cartilage defect. It is important that all other sources of potential pathology in the joint which could be contributing to this joint line pain are ruled out. The ACI procedure involves an extensive period of rehabilitation and cost, and it is important to make sure that we are selecting patients for the surgery who would truly benefit from it.
Once a patient has been found to be a potential candidate for an ACI procedure, the next step in the work-up is to visually inspect the knee to see if in fact they have a localized area of arthritis. This is performed through the use of an arthroscopy in which the articular cartilage of the joint can be visualized and palpated with an instrument. If there is an area of arthritis which extends down to bone or has significant damage to it, the patient is a candidate for an ACI if all of the above criteria have been met. Once this has been judged to be present, it is necessary to obtain a biopsy of normal articular cartilage so that these cells can be grown and multiplied in the lab for purposes of reimplantation at a future date. This cartilage is usually taken from the superior medial trochlear groove (upper portion of the femur articular cartilage) or the intercondylar notch of the femur (which is most often utilized in those patients who are concurrently undergoing an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction).
Once the patient has been properly rehabilitated from their arthroscopic or other concurrent surgery, they are ready for reimplantation of their cartilage cells. The usual minimal time for reimplantation to occur is 3 - 4 weeks. In the stages between the actual arthroscopy and evaluation of the articular cartilage and the implantation of the cartilage cells, it is important that the patient receive proper counseling as to the necessary steps in rehabilitation after surgery and to the absolute need for their compliance to increase their chances of a successful result. Noncompliance on the part of the patient could result in significant patellofemoral dysfunction after surgery, disruption of the implant, or development of joint stiffness after surgery.
The ACI procedure needs to be performed with an open knee incision. The incision is approximately 10 inches long and through the process of making this incision the kneecap must be elevated and displaced laterally (towards the outside of the knee) to gain access to the articular cartilage defect. Once the cartilage defect has been defined, the areas of abnormal cartilage are removed with the use of a curette or knife and the supporting bone structure of the cartilage defect base is freshened up to remove all scar tissue. Once this defect has been well defined, methylene blue dye is placed around the sides of the sides of the defect, and then a sterile piece of surgical glove paper is placed over the defect and the imprint from the dye is used as a template for the next stage of the procedure.
The next stage of the procedure involves taking a piece of periosteum from either the tibia or the femur. The periosteum is a covering over the bone and is analogous to the bark on a tree. It is very thin and removing it from the bone is very meticulous. Once the piece of periosteum has been harvested, the tourniquet can be let down on the knee and all bleeding is stopped with the use of a coagulator. It is especially important to stop all the bleeding in the base of the cartilage defect, as the hemosiderin (iron) in blood has been found to be toxic to the growing chondrocytes. Once all the bleeding in the prepared defect area has been stopped, the periosteum is microsutured to the edge of the remaining articular cartilage. This portion of the procedure is very tedious and involves microsuturing techniques. Both the periosteal flap and the articular cartilage are very fine. The suturing technique is analogous to sewing tissue paper to a hard boiled egg. It is important to make sure that the sutures are placed correctly on the first attempt, as holes in the periosteum or cartilage could result in leakage of some of the cells out from under the graft. Once the periosteal flap has been sutured to the articular cartilage, it is important to test the integrity of this suture repair to make sure that there is no leakage of fluid from it. We do this by injecting sterile saline into the defect and verifying that there is no leakage. Once a watertight seal has been obtained, a fibrin glue, which can be prepared either from a patient's own donated blood or from commercially available product, is placed around the edges of the microsutured periosteum to serve as an additional backup to the suture repair. A small area is left unsutured at the top of the periosteum for purposes of injecting the cells.
At this point in time, the cells are obtained from their vial which has been shipped via overnight express from the preparing laboratory. These are obtained in a small syringe and are then injected under the periosteal flap. The final suturing of the periosteum at the top of the defect is performed, followed by further use of fibrin glue. At this point, attention is turned towards closure of the knee joint.
Immediately after surgery, the patient is placed into a knee immobilizer to give stability to the knee and is maintained on a nonweight bearing status using crutches for approximately 4 weeks. This period of nonweight bearing can be variable depending upon the location and size of the lesion. The use of a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine is utilized in the initial 6 weeks after surgery for 2 purposes. The purpose of the machine is to actually move the knee joint such that it does not become stiff and it does this by not having to have the patient fire their own muscles which could negatively affect the suture repair. It is important that the joint not become stiff after surgery and a CPM is very valuable in preventing this stiffness. In addition, it has been shown in animal studies that the use of a CPM machine provides nourishment to damaged cartilage and we believe that this assists the implanted cartilage cells in obtaining nutrition.
We have developed a specific rehabilitation program at the University of Minnesota for the treatment of ACI patients. In this protocol, patients are allowed weight bearing based to tolerance at approximately 4 weeks after surgery and then are advanced along the protocol according to their level of pain. They are allowed to wean themselves off of crutches once they can walk without a limp and then slowly increase their activities. The total time of rehabilitation after an ACI lasts for approximately 1 year.
It is important to realize that an ACI procedure is different than any other procedure currently being performed in orthopaedic surgery. At 3 months after surgery, it has been found that the healing cartilage cells are soft as a marshmallow when probed arthroscopically and therefore it is important not to perform any strenuous activities at this time so that the graft does not pop off. It is generally felt that most activities are safe at approximately 1 year after surgery. This has been confirmed by stiffness evaluations of the cartilage at which point it is felt to be close to normal.
ACI has been found to be an excellent procedure in patients with a localized area of arthritis or areas of osteochondritis dissecans on their femoral condyles. In a 5 year clinical follow up in the United States, approximately 80% of patients have been found to have good or excellent results with this procedure. ACI is a procedure which requires strict attention to detail and precision on the part of the surgeon in order to obtain maximum benefit. However, in addition to obtaining good cells and good operative technique, it is important that the patient be compliant in their postoperative rehabilitation and follow their protocol to maximize their chance of obtaining a good result.

I’ve said it before many times – this is the pernicious outcome of the false religion of equality. We all know that there are only a handful of religious leaders who are actually dangerous, and who will actually constitute a threat to the bodily integrity of citizens in the UK. We also know that while not unique to any one religion, they are disproportionately to be found in particular sects of one particular religion. However, to make this plain will be to put paid to the lie that religion is simply all the same or is interchangeable from one enlightened (wo)man to the next. It will insist on taking a moral standard, in the light of which not all religions will appear equally illuminated. Since the system is based on the principle that one moral standard is as good as the next (even though virtually nobody believes this), if fault is found in one, fault will be found in all.

Jude Law and Sienna Miller went public with their rekindled love Monday night as the famous British pair walked down the red carpet together at the Gala Benefit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The cream of the Big Apple’s society, plus several Hollywood heavyweights, watched-on as the two stars walked hand-in-hand, showinh in the most public way possible that their love affair was back-on.
Sienna showed off her slender frame with a daring plunging neckline, in a black halterneck dress by Emilio Pucci and Solange Azagury-Partridge jewels.
With her hair tied back, the 28-year-old looked very much like she did in Alfie, the 2004 film in which she fell in love with Jude, 37.
The couple ended their engagement in 2005 following allegations that Jude had an affair with his children's nanny Daisy Wright.
Jude has three children, Rafferty, 13, Iris, nine, and Rudy, seven, with Sadie Frost and another daughter, seven-month-old Sophia, from a brief fling with model Samantha Burke.
But Law and Miller rekindled their romance last year and were seen on a Caribbean holiday together over the 2009 festive period.
The pair were rumored to have become engaged again after Sienna was pictured wearing the vintage diamond ring Jude had given her during their first engagement - but on her right hand. But she didn't appear to be wearing it Monday night.
The A-list couple have recently been seen checking out houses for sale in the pricey north London suburb of Highgate.

Visible light absorption of N-doped TiO2 rutile using (LR/RT)-TDDFT and active space EOMCCSD calculations
We have performed detailed ground- and excited-state calculations of pure and N-doped TiO2 rutile to model and analyze the experimentally observed UV/vis spectrum. Using our embedding model, we have performed both linear response (LR) and real-time (RT) TDDFT calculations of the excited states of the pure and N-doped systems. We have also studied the lowest excitations using high-level active space equation-of-motion coupled cluster (EOMCC) approaches involving all single and interband double excitations. We compare and contrast the nature of the excitations in detail for the pure and doped systems and also provide an analysis of the excited-state density using our RT-TDDFT calculations. Our calculations indicate a lowering of the band gap and verify the role of the N3- states on the observed spectrum of N-doped TiO2 rutile as suggested by experimental findings. Both RT-TDDFT and EOMCC calculations show that the excitations in pure TiO2 are more delocalized compared with the N-doped system. © 2011 American Chemical Society.

After discovering infidelity, one of the most important skills you need as a betrayed partner is the ability to set and maintain effective boundaries. This skill will help you navigate the rapidly changing thoughts and emotions you are experiencing, and it will help you create an oasis of safety and stability for yourself.
There are five types of boundaries that betrayed partners need to set:
- Physical and sexual boundaries
- Emotional boundaries
- Financial boundaries
- Communication boundaries
- Boundaries around people, places, and things
In last week’s blog Creating And Maintaining Effective Boundaries, Part 1 we looked at physical and sexual boundaries, and emotional boundaries. This week we are going to explore financial boundaries, communication boundaries, and boundaries around people, places, and things.
For many couples dealing with betrayal, the cheating partner’s extracurricular sexual behaviors have impacted family finances. This can range from money being spent directly on sexual behaviors (like purchasing a prostitute or paying for a hotel room to meet an affair partner), to establishing and maintaining secret bank accounts or credit cards, to secretly taking money from family accounts, to a loss of income caused by the cheating partner’s avoidance of work while engaging in the infidelity.
For you as the betrayed partner, placing boundaries around your personal and family finances is an important part of self-care and ongoing protection. If you have not previously been in on the management of your family’s finances, this means getting proactive and becoming more aware of and involved in the financial details. It might also mean taking steps to become more financially independent (i.e., opening an individual credit card to establish a line of credit) so that if you eventually need to leave the relationship, you can. The financial boundaries you need will be unique to you and your situation.
Communication boundaries typically focus on two things: 1) What you feel safe to talk about with your partner without the help of a third party (such as a therapist); and 2) Who you will tell about the betrayal, and what you will tell them.
Talking about the betrayal with your unfaithful partner can be fraught with conflict and pain, and can create the sense that the damage to your relationship is increasing rather than decreasing. Because your emotions are running high and your sense of safety in your relationship has been severely diminished, you will likely have a very difficult time talking about it with your partner, especially at the beginning. To avoid further damage and pain, you can place boundaries around what and how you are willing to communicate with your unfaithful partner. A few examples of this type of boundary are:
- When I am talking to my partner about difficult topics and I feel my emotional energy move above a four on a scale of one to ten, I will take a timeout to calm down.
- I will not talk with my partner about difficult topics after 8:00 p.m. I will only talk about difficult topics when I am rested and able to do it well.
You will also need to set boundaries around talking to other people about what has happened, including supportive friends, your children, and other family members. Finding safe friends with whom you can share your story of betrayal is a vital part of healing. However, it is important that you rely on individuals who can hear your story without gossiping or judging. A few examples of this type of boundary are:
- I will identify a few safe people who will be part of my support system, and I will share my story with them. I will let my partner know who I have told and what I have told them.
- I will agree with my partner about when, what, and how to tell our children about the betrayal, and we will tell them together.
People, Places, and Things
These boundaries focus on people, places, and things involved in or tainted by your cheating partner’s behaviors. These boundaries can cover a wide range of issues, and they are specific to each person’s unique situation. If your unfaithful partner used your vacation home as a place to meet their affair partner, you might decide you need to sell that home. If your unfaithful partner had sexual liaisons in your bed, you might want to purchase new bedding or rearrange the bedroom furniture to clear the space of reminders of the betrayal.
As you made your way through this blog post, I hope that it sparked your awareness of the need for boundaries and helped you understand the ways in which they can help you create the safety and space you need to heal, to manage and reduce trauma triggers, and to re-establish some stability. I also hope that as you read the explanations of the different types of boundaries that you noticed that boundaries always focus on the things you have some control over, rather than on trying to manage another person’s thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. This principle, that boundaries are about your sense of personal power over the things you can control, is one of the most important principles for healing from betrayal trauma.

I didn’t even notice how well all these books coordinate with each other—and with my flowers!—until I took these pictures. Hooray for happy accidents!
This has been a good few weeks for books, y’all. After reading this stack, I feel uplifted, better informed, entertained, creatively inspired, and a little bit snobby. But snobby in a good way?
We’ll start there, I guess. (Heads up: lots of affiliate links ahead.) How To Be Parisian Wherever You Are was a quick easy read. I rather enjoyed the mixed-media-ish approach, with lists and recipes and conversations and tutorials scattered throughout. That said, I would be a terrible Parisienne. I’m not dramatic enough. Too straight-forward. And definitely not as effortlessly stylish. I’m okay with that. In fact, I’m pretty pleased with myself for NOT being an overly emotional/romantic/melodramatic woman.
Anyway, it’s not one I’d pick up again but it was lighthearted and amusing.
Between the World and Me, on the other hand, was heavy. Ta-Nehisi Coates gives such a raw perspective of Black American male experience, I will be processing it for a long time. Which is probably good. As an educated white woman, I found so much of his life experience completely foreign. It was good to step outside myself and get a glimpse from a different viewpoint. Not a comfortable read, but when Toni Morrison says something is required reading, you say, “Yes ma’am,” and get a copy straightaway.
After some disappointments over the last year or two, Nicola Yoon restored my faith in YA fiction with The Sun Is Also a Star. Serious + important themes, sweet romance, believable characters, flawless narrative structure…it was perfect. Now I need to read her other book before the movie comes out!
It took me a minute to figure out how exactly Hag-Seed was a retelling of The Tempest (which I haven’t read in over a decade). Once I did, though, I was delighted. Setting a Shakespearean play-within-a-play-within-a-play in a Canadian prison was a weird way to tell a story, but Margaret Atwood is an excellent storyteller. This is the fourth title I’ve read from her and I have yet to be disappointed. (Anyone else dying to see The Handmaid’s Tale when it comes out?)
Last week I plowed through The Night Circus and then scoured the internet for any info about a movie or miniseries because it would be such a beautiful movie or miniseries. It hit all my sweet spots: just the right amount of mystery, romance, and magic; quirky characters; stunning imagery that leaves plenty to the imagination. I want this circus to be a real thing so bad.
And reading it makes me want to write. So that’s fun + exciting.
Because we just had Spring Break, I tried something new with our children’s book selection the past couple weeks.
I have a few friends who have created summer schedules with activities and outings to keep their kids entertained, help them continue learning while school is out, and (most importantly) maintain their own sanity. If I don’t plan stuff for us to do, we pretty much never leave the house, so I thought something like this would give me some structure and my kids a change of scene.
After discussing with the girls some possible themes for our Spring Break, they both enthusiastically picked Egypt. (Well, Mila picked Egypt. Margot picked “the place with the pyramints.” Lol.)
Despite a less-than-helpful librarian, I scrounged up a bunch of Egypt-ish books for us to peruse. Most were non-fiction, but some, like Mummy Cat, aren’t. I favored bright illustrations over faded black-and-white photographs, and looked for minimal text so they wouldn’t get overwhelmed or bored. Some of my picks were duds, but overall I’m pretty satisfied. I mean, How To Be an Egyptian Princess was basically written with Margot in mind.
We didn’t just read about Egypt though. After looking up a list of animals that live in Egypt, we headed to the zoo to find some of them. While there, we caught a glimpse of an actual pyramid, which thrilled Margot to no end. We made “papyrus” and berry ink to write on it. The girls seemed to enjoy it, even if I wasn’t as rigorous about doing Egypt-y things as I’d originally planned.
So here’s my question: would anyone be interested in a post about our “curriculum?” I intend to put together a few more one- or two-week study programs together for us for the summer to cover some of the other topics the girls were interested in. Art projects, possible outings, recipes, and a book list, of course. Is that something you guys would like?
And, as always…what are you reading these days?

Are you a saltwater fish enthusiast, looking to create a beautiful underwater world in your own home? One of the key components of a captivating aquariums setup is the selection of the right fish species. In this article, we will explore the top fish species that are perfect for your aquarium setup, ensuring a delightful and engaging experience for both you and your aquatic companions.
Best Fish Species for Your Aquarium Setup
The Peaceful Beauty of Clownfish
Clownfish, also known as anemonefish, are popular choices for aquarium enthusiasts due to their vibrant colors and peaceful nature.
Why are Clownfish ideal for your aquarium setup?
Clownfish are considered hardy fish, making them perfect for beginners. They are relatively low-maintenance, requiring a tank size of at least 20 gallons. These social fish are best kept in pairs or small groups and thrive well in a reef or fish-only aquarium.
The Majestic Beauty of Angelfish
Angelfish, with their captivating beauty and elegant presence, are highly sought after by aquarium enthusiasts worldwide.
Why are Angelfish ideal for your aquarium setup?
Angelfish are known for their unique shape and striking patterns, which add a touch of grandeur to any aquarium setup. They come in a variety of colors and sizes, making them suitable for both large and small tanks. However, it is important to note that some angelfish species can be territorial, so it’s best to research and select the right species for compatibility.
The Graceful Elegance of Seahorses
Seahorses, with their delicate features and enchanting behavior, bring a touch of magic to any saltwater aquarium.
Why are Seahorses ideal for your aquarium setup?
Seahorses require a specialized setup due to their unique needs. They prefer aquariums with plenty of live rock, which provides them with hiding spots and the opportunity to anchor their tails. Additionally, seahorses should be kept in a species-only tank, as they are not suited for cohabitation with other fish species.
The Playful Charm of Gobies
Gobies, with their distinctive personalities and vibrant colors, are a popular choice for saltwater aquarium enthusiasts.
Why are Gobies ideal for your aquarium setup?
Gobies are small-sized fish that add a playful charm to any aquarium. They come in various colors and patterns, making them visually stunning. Gobies are generally peaceful and can thrive in tanks as small as 10 gallons. Their burrowing behavior adds an interesting dynamic to your aquarium ecosystem.
The Captivating Colors of Tangs
Tangs, also known as surgeonfish, are renowned for their vibrant colors and unique body shapes.
Why are Tangs ideal for your aquarium setup?
Tangs require a larger aquarium, preferably with a capacity of 75 gallons or more, as they need ample swimming space. They are well-suited for reef or fish-only setups and bring a burst of color to your tank. However, it’s essential to consider their territorial nature and choose appropriate tank mates.
Selecting the right fish species for your aquarium setup is crucial to creating an enchanting underwater world. Whether you choose the peaceful beauty of clownfish, the majestic elegance of angelfish, the graceful charm of seahorses, the playful nature of gobies, or the captivating colors of tangs, each species brings its unique qualities to your aquatic oasis. Remember to research each species and create a suitable environment that meets their specific requirements. So dive in, and start building your perfect aquarium today!

STRATFORD-upon-Avon Boat Club remembered those who died in World War’s and other conflicts, including the Falklands War, as the club held services on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
The Boat Club’s remembrance started with a short wreath laying and two-minute silence to mark Armistice Day (last Friday, November 11).
Masters’ member Graham Cann laid wreaths commemorating Falklands veterans and especially his fallen colleagues in the Royal Marines.
Cann was a Colour Sergeant in the Royal Marines Commandoes during the Falklands War as the Club’s piper, Joe Moore, played before and after the two minutes silence.
Joining Cann and his Boat Club colleagues was Kim Casey, sister of Petty Officer Aircrewman Ben Casey, who was the first casualty of the Falklands War.
On Remembrance Sunday (November 13), the whole Club stopped to meet around the Club’s memorial with wreaths laid by the Club’s oldest member, Colin Upchurch, and the youngest member, Seb Happel, to remember Club members who gave their lives in wars and conflicts.
Once again, the Club’s piper, Simon Moore, played during the act of remembrance.
An addition to this year’s Remembrance Day event was the dedication of a plaque commemorating the award of the Victoria Cross to one of the Club’s members, Squadron Leader Arthur ‘Pongo’ Scarf.
The interest in this Club member’s past was generated by the sale of Arthur’s Victoria Cross and Mark Dewdney’s, the Club’s archivist and Head Adaptive Coach, research in to Pongo’s past.
Through an introduction by Spinks and Son, the auction house which sold Arthur Scarf’s Victoria
Cross, the Club was able to trace Pongo’s remaining relative, nephew John Hair, who laid a wreath to dedicate the new memorial plaque and honour Arthur’s bravery.
Paul Stanton, Stratford Boat Club’s President said: “Whilst the Club is a forward looking organisation with its sights set firmly on the future, we take this time to look back, pause and give thanks for those who served and died for their country and colleagues so that we may live in peace and pursue our sport with happiness and joy.
“Both Graham Cann’s and Arthur Scarf’s acts of service and bravery are an example to us all and an ever present reminder of the horrors of war.”

Step into the enticing realm of Nespresso pods, where coffee craftsmanship meets unparalleled convenience.
To discover the best Nespresso pod for cappuccino, we will need to go on a fascinating journey. With each petite capsule, a symphony of aroma, flavor, and innovation unfolds, promising a sensory journey that tantalizes the taste buds and awakens the senses. Nestled within these meticulously crafted pods lies the essence of coffee culture—a world where the finest beans are transformed into liquid artistry, ready to be savored at the touch of a button.
With Nespresso pods, the story of coffee is condensed into a captivating capsule, ready to be unwrapped, brewed, and savored with every pour. Discover a world that redefines your coffee experience, inviting you to partake in the art of crafting your perfect cup.
When it comes to choosing the best Nespresso pod for a cappuccino, important factors to consider are the flavor, intensity rating level, and compatibility with milk-based beverages.
What are Nespresso Pods or Capsules?
Before we get into the best Nespresso pod for cappuccino, let’s first evaluate what exactly a Nespresso pod is. Nespresso pods, also known as Nespresso capsules, are single-serving units of pre-packaged coffee that are designed to be used with Nespresso coffee machines.
These pods are a convenient way to brew a single cup of coffee with consistent quality, flavor, and aroma. Nespresso offers a wide range of coffee options, each encapsulated within a pod, to cater to various preferences and taste profiles.
The design of Nespresso pods ensures that the coffee inside remains fresh and protected from external elements until the moment of brewing. The pods are typically made from aluminum or plastic, with a sealed top that preserves the coffee’s freshness and aroma.
To use Nespresso pods, you insert one into a compatible Nespresso coffee machine, and the machine punctures the pod’s top to allow water to flow through and extract the coffee. Different Nespresso machines have varying features, such as adjustable cup sizes and brewing strengths, which ensure that you can customize your coffee to your liking.
Nespresso offers a range of coffee styles and intensities, from espresso to lungo (a larger coffee), and from mild to intense flavors. They also have a separate line called “Nespresso Vertuo,” which uses a different brewing technology and offers a different pod design to brew larger cups of coffee. Pods or capsules range from 1.35 ounces for Espresso, 2.7 ounces for double Espresso, 5.07 ounces for Gran Lungo (Americano-inspired coffees), 7.77 ounces for coffee, and 12 ounces for XL coffees (XL Capsules are deigned to brew exclusively on Vertuo Creatista, Next, and Pop machines).

- Arpeggio: A dark roast with cocoa notes, ideal for a rich flavor.
- Volluto: Light and sweet, for those who prefer a milder cappuccino.
Why These Pods?
Each pod offers a unique flavor profile that complements the creamy frothiness of a cappuccino, ensuring a delightful experience.
What is the Difference Between a Latte and a Cappuccino Nespresso?
- Milk Ratio: Lattes have more steamed milk, cappuccinos have more foam.
- Texture: Cappuccinos are airier, lattes are creamier.
- Flavor Intensity: Cappuccinos offer a stronger coffee taste due to less milk.
Both can be made with the same pods, but the milk preparation and quantity differentiate them.
How Do You Make a Cappuccino with Vertuo Pods?
- Brew Your Coffee: Choose a strong Vertuo pod and brew.
- Froth Your Milk: Use the milk frother to create rich, creamy foam.
- Assemble: Pour the brewed coffee into a cup and top with frothed milk.

Do Coffee Pods Make Cappuccino?
The Short Answer:
Yes, with the right machine and a milk frother, you can use Nespresso pods to make a cappuccino.
It’s all about the coffee and milk ratio. A good cappuccino is typically 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and 1/3 frothed milk. Nespresso pods provide the espresso part, and the rest is up to your milk frothing skills.

Final exams are quickly approaching, and UNC students are beginning to break out their best — and strangest — study habits. Here is some advice from UNC students on how to make it through finals week unscathed.
Staff writer Samantha Nichols asked students: “What do you do to keep yourself sane during finals?"
Kyla Roerty, junior business administration major
“Start earlier than you think you need to because it gets really overwhelming, especially when you have four or five finals. It sounds crazy, but start a week before finals week and just take it day by day instead of trying to do 10 hours in one day.”
Alexis Plemmons, junior biology and medical anthropology major
“If you study all the time you’re going to be burned out by the time you get to your exam. But, if you take breaks and do something that makes you happy, it will help keep you engaged when you study and just make finals more enjoyable overall.”
Haiden Berton, sophomore neuroscience and chemistry major
“You will do well if you have a positive mindset about it. And if you take time to just chill out and you take breaks, get outside every once in a while, exercise and eat well — then you’ll do well.”

Give it up is Solomon Kammer’s (she/they) debut solo exhibition in Asia and their second with the Gallery.
In Give it up, Kammer presents a new suite of paintings that continues their examination and research of transcending confines of the physical body. These informed works celebrate neurodiversity and all forms of disability that translate onto their canvases into a visual language that advertently defies categorization. Kammer favours sharp contours and contrast through the sure strokes of their brushes that transmute their emotional states and personal experiences into corporeal forms.
Demystifying and unmasking the medicalization and typecasting of the female anatomy, their painted compositions allow the canvases to be sites of spectacle and introspection. In doing so, they investigate the very notion of bodies as thresholds of experience.
Venue: Yavuz Gallery, Gillman Barracks, 9 Lock Road, #02-23, Singapore 108937
When: 8 - 30 Oct 2022, 11am to 7pm (Tue to Sat); 1pm to 5pm (Sun)

Grace took great care of our dogs and home while we were away for 2 weeks, and we highly recommend her! She responded quickly to messages, sent us photos of the dogs to reassure us, and had everything in order when we returned home. You are the best Grace!
This is our second time booking Grace and she is amazing. She’s super responsive and sends lots of updates. We have three dogs and one who is fully blind so it’s easier for us to have someone stay in our home. Grace is very respectful of our home and we completely trust her to stay there with the girls. She’s great with them and we come home to happy, healthy pups!
I had to travel in a short notice. Luckily, Grace was available to watch my girl, 9 year old Border Collie, Bailey. Grace took Bailey to parks for walk and kept me well informed with daily photos and text messages, especially, any of Bailey’s unusual status. Also, during my 2 week travel, I got Bailey’s blood work results from her vet indicating her Vitamin D level was too high. Grace was able to ...
Friendly Dog Lover :)
My name is Grace and dogs are my favorite animals on earth! As much as I love them, I don't own one because my apartment doesn't allow me to. However, this means I will show your animals that much more love!
I realize that it is hard being away from your pets and I hope to make that process a tiny bit easier. I will look after your pets like they are my own! Please ...

In a recent interview with Josh Miller, founding owner of multimedia agency C&I Studios, he was a bit tight lipped on his latest venture Next Door, refusing to confirm any rumors floating about in FAT Village. One of those rumors was that Brew Urban Cafe was to open its coffee service inside C&I, and that C&I was about to expand its event space.
All Miller would say at the time was that what's to come would "blow people's minds."
He wasn't kidding. The idea agency and purveyor of slick events housed in FAT Village's artsy warehouse district, held a sneak peak Wednesday night for the media. Next Door is a complete transformation to the warehouse space that is located (literally) next door to C&I's existing 4,000-square-foot studio.
Rumors were confirmed that Brew Urban Cafe has set up shop inside with trained baristas ready to steam up some killer cappuccinos. So for Brew fans wondering why the Himmarshee shop was closed down several weeks ago, this is what owner Bob Denison meant when he said he had an exciting, new partnership underway.
