Just got this as part of my big jpc order, and when I opened up the discs and saw the cover of the booklet, it appears to have been signed by Ms. Schornsheim. I'm guessing this is something that's printed on the booklet, rather being an actual signature, but I thought I'd ask to be sure.
Listening to the first concerto (CPE Bach) - I love the way she plays - very clean, crisp and clear, yet with feeling.
Yes, most of the members have that recording, so we are all sure you will like it!
Tell us, what is the rest of your order with JPC?
Bach: Complete Organ Works/Fagius/BIS - this is an SACD Stereo set - according to the box, they were able to fit 18 CDs onto 5 SACDs (NOT hybrids), and sell them for the price of 2.
A lot of excellent Brilliant boxes. Good choice my friend!
Thank you - jpc (as you well know) sells Brilliant sets really cheap, so I have one or two big orders from them a year.
Sorry, this isn't on Capriccio, but it's such a wonderful cd I can't resist posting this!
If you love Christine Schornsheim, be sure to pick this up: Mozart am Stein Vis-a-vis. (This Stein vis-a-vis is a an instrument with a combination 3 manual harpsichord at one end, and fortepiano with moderator stop at the other end). Aside from the brilliance of the musicians, one can only marvel at the amazing tone of this instrument. The choice of Mozart's preludes, sonatas, variations and dances displays the special character of this instrument perfectly. I can only hope that they will be able to record more on this instrument.
No worries - good music is always welcome! Thanks for the heads up... Hmm come to think of it I do have the remainder of an amazon GC I could use... (Already used most of it on Pierre Hantai's Bach CDs on Virgin).
Well, you certainly have some quality listening time ahead with the Hantaï cds, even if you don't get the Mozart am Stein.
I know - I buy a lot of Hantai's recordings, much like Schornsheim's. Reading the notes of the Capriccio set I get the impression that Schornsheim took a master class with Staier, so it's good to see that the musicians have some kind of relationship prior to the recording.
Of course, I couldn't resist the Stein vis-a-vis, and I am glad because of it. The instrument (made by Johann Andreas Stein) is a fortepiano/harpsichord hybrid at which two musicians can sit at opposite ends and play. The sounds that Staier (fp) and Schornsheim (hpd) get from it are pretty amazing. I'm not entirely sure how it's done but there's parts where the fortepiano sounds much like a modern one, and of course the harpsichord is glittering, crispy clean and clear. I'd say the Sonata for 4 hands K 381 alone would be worth the price of the disc - but there's so much other great music making on the disc it's all good. Fans of Schornsheim (and I know there are a few on this forum) and/or Staier - as well as lovers of great music making - should put some of this music in their ears.
Really, most have it? I don't have it and can't think of any disc in my collection that features Schornsheim.
Must be that I'm behind the times.
I'm so glad that you are enjoying that recording! I've put it on my ipod and have spent many pleasant hours listening.

Crimora is a census-designated place (CDP) in Augusta County, Virginia, United States. The population was 2,209 at the 2010 census, a 23% increase from the 1,796 reported in 2000. It is part of the Staunton–Waynesboro Micropolitan Statistical Area.

Geography
Crimora is located at  (38.160845, −78.839088).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.1 square miles (8.0 km2), all  land.

History
What put Crimora on the map was the open-pit Crimora Manganese Mine that started in 1866. The mineral manganese was used in the production of steel. Mining at Crimora continued intermittently under a series of owners until March 1946.  The Crimora deposit is about 500 feet wide, 200 feet deep, and half a mile long and consists of clay with scattered lumps of manganese ore. It lies under a layer of clay and quartz fragments about 15 feet thick. The Crimora deposit produced more manganese than any other single deposit in the United States and, at one time, the mining operations there were among the largest in the world.

The mines are located at the foothills of the mountains of the Shenandoah National Park.  They are two miles east of Crimora Station on the Norfolk Southern Railway formerly known as the Shenandoah Valley Railroad.  Crimora Station was located at milepost 136.9 but the station is no longer there. The remains of the mine consist of three adjoining man-made lakes that range from 20 to 100 feet deep, with underwater shafts connecting multiple water sources around the Crimora area.

The Coiner House and Crimora School are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Transportation
Crimora is located roughly five miles north of Waynesboro on U.S. Route 340, known as Eastside Highway. It is a U.S primary and has locally been called "The Bloody Highway" because of the above average crash statistics for Augusta County. Route 340 was widened to a five-lane, unlimited access highway in 2002 in Crimora's village center but it is only 0.6 mile in length. VDOT plans to eventually widen North 340 from Waynesboro to Grottoes.

Points of interest
Turk Mountain is the prominent landmark of Crimora and has a giant boulder on the north end of its summit. The boulder is accessible by foot from the Shenandoah National Park and The Appalachian Trail; the overlook has views of Crimora and surrounding areas. Turk Mountain lane is a collector road that has a terminus directly below the Turk Mountain overlook and is the southern limit of Crimora's CDA (Community Development Area).90% of Crimora's newest housing stock has sprung up near Turk mountain lane in Northwood and Vesper View Subdivisions. The final phase of Vesper view is not yet built.

Other landmarks include Davis Mountain and Wildcat ridge seen on the northern end of Crimora's Sampson area. The Crimora Overlook is an automobile friendly pull off that lies directly on the Shenandoah National Park and can be seen above Wildcat ridge on a summit further east. The Crimora Community Center is a historic landmark that was built as a school in 1920. Around 2005 Augusta County built a town park beside the Community center on the banks of the South River.

A local landmark is the Purple Cow Drive-In, a former ice-cream stand currently unoccupied.  The old Purple Cow sign—a cow head on a pole, painted in purple and white—still exists and led to the street name Purple Cow Road.

Demographics

As of the census of 2000, there were 1,796 people, 724 households, and 516 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 584.3 people per square mile (225.9/km2). There were 761 housing units at an average density of 247.6/sq mi (95.7/km2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 97.61% White, 0.84% African American, 0.22% Native American, 0.22% Asian, and 1.11% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.78% of the population.

There were 724 households, out of which 31.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 55.5% were married couples living together, 10.6% had a female householder with no husband present, and 28.7% were non-families. 24.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 8.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.48 and the average family size was 2.92.

In the CDP, the population was spread out, with 24.1% under the age of 18, 8.1% from 18 to 24, 30.3% from 25 to 44, 25.7% from 45 to 64, and 11.7% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 38 years. For every 100 females there were 95.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 93.6 males.

Foecke named senior CLASS award winner
By Press Release |
Posted: Wed 10:51 AM, Dec 12, 2018
Nebraska outside hitter Mikaela Foecke has been selected as the 2018 Senior CLASS Award winner in NCAA Division I women's volleyball.
The award, chosen by a nationwide vote of Division I volleyball coaches, national volleyball media and fans, is given annually to the most outstanding senior student-athlete in Division I volleyball.
To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: classroom, community, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Foecke is the fourth Senior CLASS Award winner from Nebraska and the second Husker to win for volleyball after Gina Mancuso took home the award in 2012.
"When I came to the University of Nebraska in 2015, my goals were to not only help Nebraska volleyball win games and championships, but also to become a better student, person and teammate," said Foecke, who led the Huskers to their fourth consecutive Final Four this season after capturing NCAA national titles as both a freshman and junior.
"These past four years have gone by so quickly, and it hasn't really set in yet that my college career is coming to an end. But when I look back, I am so proud of all that we have accomplished. To win two national championships and two Big Ten championships has been incredible, but what I will really take most from my time at Nebraska is the relationships I have built with my teammates, the coaches, the staff, and of course our amazing fans. Whichever path I take after graduation, I know that the experience of being a student-athlete at Nebraska will have prepared me well for life both on and off the volleyball court."
Already receiving her fourth-straight first-team AVCA All-North Region honor this season, Foecke will go down as one of the greatest players in one of the top volleyball programs in the country.
A two-time NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Player, Foecke has earned AVCA All-America honors in each of her first three seasons with the potential for a fourth honor this week, and has earned Big Ten conference honors all four years as well, including unanimous first-team honors as both a junior and senior. Foecke currently ranks third on Nebraska's career kills list with 1,638, and her 132 career aces are eighth-most in school history. She also has 263 career kills all-time in the NCAA Tournament, second-most in school history behind only Sarah Pavan (304).
Also a standout in the classroom, Foecke has received multiple Academic All-Big Ten honors in her career for both court volleyball and beach volleyball. Majoring in animal science, she carries a 3.649 GPA is a five-time member of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll and has received Nebraska's High Honors (Silver) Academic Medallion twice.
"Mikaela is part of the most decorated senior class in the history of Nebraska volleyball," said Head Coach John Cook, a two-time AVCA Division I National Coach of the Year. "She and Kenzie Maloney are the only two Nebraska players ever who will have played at four NCAA Final Fours, and she has been the most outstanding player two of the three times we have been there, which is incredible. What separates Mikaela is her dedication to being great in everything she does. She is a phenomenal student with aspirations of being a veterinarian someday. Mikaela has also developed outstanding leadership skills during her time at Nebraska, and there's no question that she and Kenzie are the biggest reason this young team has made it to the NCAA Semifinals for a fourth time. Mikaela will leave a huge lasting legacy on Nebraska volleyball when her career comes to an end."
A team captain and its representative on the Nebraska Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Foecke has shown exemplary character throughout her Husker career. A three-time Tom Osborne Citizenship Team member and a Diversity & Inclusion Summit leader, Foecke has also remained committed to community outreach, helping the Husker volleyball program earn the Nebraska's Life Skills Award through her work with events and organizations such as One Shirt One Body, Uplifting Athletes, People's City Mission, Husker Heroes, Make-a-Wish and more.
"On behalf of everyone associated with the Senior CLASS Award, we are honored to recognize Mikaela Foecke as this year's winner for women's volleyball," said Erik Miner, executive director for the Senior CLASS Award. "Not only is Mikaela one of the best players to ever wear a Husker uniform, she's also an incredibly well-rounded student-athlete who excels in every area. We offer our sincere congratulations to Mikaela, her team and the entire university."

Pick an invitation card that is all about royalty. From perfumed to melodic – there is a wide range of wedding invitation cards out there. Be that as it may, paying for these costly wedding cards may make you need to cut down your guest list. Choose customized invites only for special ones and tackle the majority of your guests with e-invites. This is likewise a decent method to invite people.
5. Plan it well: Royal weddings are anything flawless in one word. The reason why this is because there is careful planning involved in arranging everything. We state, half a year is a decent time to carefully plan a wedding. In the event that yours will be an increasingly private issue, you can maybe manage in a shorter time span. Your wedding planner is a crucial person at the time of planning. All then courses of actions involved in planning the wedding should focus around coordinating the scale of your royal wedding. In the event that proper planning doesn't take place then things can get messy at the right time. Arranging a wedding admirably early gives you more opportunity to investigate your alternatives and get all things at the best cost. You will be able to estimate the costs in a better way and arrange for money way before the actual bookings. You can also go for a wedding loan with famous banks to handle your expenses in an organized manner. Too short a time period removes the dealing power from you. Simply the venue will cost you a lot, and afterward there are different costs.
6. Wedding dresses: Nothing delineates eminence superior to the wedding trousseau of the couple, so choose the best. Directly from the couture to the gem pieces, shoes and cosmetics, everything will characterize how royal you will look on your wedding. You can go about this smartly by keenly hiring a nearby diamond setter to etch out conspicuous gem pieces with lesser quality material so that it doesn't cost you much.
7. Hire a good wedding planner: You must hire a good wedding planner who has had a functional involvement in overseeing royal weddings. Thus, as opposed to contributing hours on phone approaches making all the distinctive courses of action from miles away, you will have a professional who will manage it only for you. Wedding planners come with skills, knowledge and past experience of planning the best possible royal weddings. You will be surprised at how easily everything will be handled once you hire a wedding planner.
An illustrious royal wedding is a fantasy for some, which can work out with brilliant planning. Simply pursue a shrewd spending plan and the previously mentioned tips, and you will be good to go to charm your guests and well wishers on the huge day.

Once there was boy who had vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him.
"Will you wrap your arms around me as I'm falling?"
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.

This looks good, can you add a unittest?
@brian-brazil I added a unit test. Would this be fine?
Can we use these functions?
Taking another look, we use %q in the other parts of the code-base for quoting strings. Also, I think it should be all small letters, no capitals. Thoughts @brian-brazil?
@juliusv was looking at that recently. They should probably all be lower case.
@gouthamve I made the changes.
You don't need the '' anymore.
Oh, now I get the use of %q. Changed.

There's a jumpy-thingy that hangs from a door frame. Doesn't take up much room at all and my boys adored it.
@Suzyn — My husband is terrified by those. Our friends have them and they totally freak him out. He's convinced they're unsafe, irrespective of facts otherwise.
Can you still use the mug? If it's chipped but still usable, think of it as an appreciation of the imperfect, the Japanese concept of wabi sabi.
My desk at home can get very cluttered since I'm gone from the house 12 hours a day at least. Luckily, it's a drop front desk, so I can hide the pile of unopened mail until I can get to it over the weekend. My weekend paperwork routine is cathartic, as I end up with a clean desk at the end.
ITA with the posters who say repurpose the chipped mug if it brings you sentimental happiness. You can file down and/or coat the chipped area with clear nail polish if you think the sharpness of the chip makes it dangerous clutter. I'd repurpose it in the laundry room to hold coins or any other pocket treasures.
When I think of this object is the instantaneous physical feeling inside my body one of "ughhh" or a happy "ahhh"?
Usefulness is sometimes the key for an object. There are some things that are not used daily but are just the right thing to have when you need it. I keep, and use, my grandmother's old double boiler which I use to make a five day supply of oatmeal at a time as well as rice pudding and things like pumpkin/potato soup. The double boiler shows its years but still functions well and doesn't fit anywhere conveniently due to height and shape. It sits on the top of the fridge, only place I've found where I can access it easily, but it does get used.
It's so strange to suddenly have to think of what your children want to keep and what they don't really want or need.
I am not sure that the Jumperoo is really an example of clutter as is being used and is loved by your baby. I have noticed with our daughter that there is a definite inverse relationship to how much she loves a thing and how aesthetically pleasing I find said object and think that is probably typical.
I think my biggest exception to keeping a cluttery-type thing is "will it cause a breakdown or a battle with my…"?
For example, my husband dearly loves his ridiculously large SoloFlex work-out machine. Has he used it in the past 10 years? Nope, not even once. It is ugly, large and dangerous (for our young child to want to climb on)? Yes. Does it irk my soul every time I see it in our office (where I work from home every single day)? Ya know it!
Yes, it's a slippery slope, but I have really compromised with my kids, & I am OK with that. I am teaching them to put things away & to play with one thing at a time, but with young children the lesson only goes so far. I do not like the look of toys out in the open, but some are big, & they need to be accessible. I just try to use nice containers & do the best I can. And as kids get older & have multipiece toys….oy. It is a big mess when my son combines train tracks, blocks, & Legos, but I feel that telling him he could only use them in sequence is wrong. I know what you mean about living for the day when you can get rid of those bulky items. A lot of them have longer lives than you hope for, though!
I just think there need to be limits on one's organizational goals when young kids are involved. A completely uncluttered existence can thwart their play & creativity. A woman once told me she would only let her kids color with one crayon at a time–she made sure they put each one back before choosing another. Come on! Why couldn't they clean up at the end so they could actually ENJOY the coloring part? And I saw a magazine article once of a pristine modern space; the owners boasted of their really stringent restrictions on how their young children could play & I remember feeling that I should call child protective services.
That's not to say there shouldn't be rules & standards. The older the kids get, the stricter I am. I rotate toys. And my kids have fewer toys than a lot of their peers do. And even if they don't always do a good job, every night without fail we have family cleanup–to foster the idea that putting things away is part of playing. I am hoping that over time these lessons will be learned. In the meantime, I am living with more mess than I would like, but it's in limits, & I'm OK with it.
My approach to sentimental things is, if it means a lot to you now, keep it – with the expectation that in the near-ish future, it may no longer mean as much to you, at which time you can let it go. When my mother died, I held on to a lot of her stuff because I simply couldn't part with it. Now, two years later, my fists are unclenching and I'm letting go of the things I don't need.
The thing to remember about kids' clutter–their toys, whatnot–is that it is not permanent clutter. That is to say, it is not stuff that will be permanently residing in your home. I have baskets of toys all over my family room, at least around the edges, but in five years, most of those toys will be in storage or gone, because the kids will outgrow them.
There is a large castle tent in my family room as well; it's not ideal, but the kids adore playing in it. It will be gone in a few years.
It's like the Jumperoo–it is serving a purpose, therefore it is not clutter. Yes, it takes up room, but what were you using that room for in the first place? And how long will it really be there?
Taking the long view of kids' stuff helps me deal with the temporary chaos and "clutter".
My chipped drinking vessel is a teacup and it was perfect for making into a pincushion. I probably use it more now than I did as a drinking cup.
When my children had all those crazy-making-to-me toys and apparati, I tried to look at it as a "season of life". Keeping my own things and the rest of the house under control during that time helped a lot.
I had a large coffee mug that had a crack in the side, making it unusable for liquids. So, as others have mentioned, I made it into a pen/pencil/desky holder. I used it until it broke further, but by then I was ready to let it go.
When I do my purges, if I know that I should get rid of something & can't, I keep it because I know that there will come a time when I can release it without major guilt.
One way that makes it easier for me to release things is when I can find a home for them. I belong to PaperbackSwap & Bookmooch, so when I no longer want a book, for any reason including "it was a dud" or that I have enough other references in that subject. Then I can let it go to someone who wants it because their tastes &/or needs are different.
I also freecycle, so that makes releasing other things easier.
I think that there will come a time when I can release somethings I have that have a monetary value as well… I'll probably Craigslist them or place them with an Ebay reseller in the area.
Then there's the big dumpster in the alley, too!!
I wouldn't have a problem with "kid" clutter either, as long as it's possible to confine it (i.e. it shouldn't be all over the house). It's *spouse* clutter that I think is a bigger problem, where one person's sentimental attachment to things materially affects the other person's peace or comfort.
A person who works at home should not have to share their workspace with a never-used giant piece of gym equipment. I think in a case like that, a breakdown/battle is long overdue!
As Erin said, it's a slippery slope. Once a person is valuing a thing more highly than he/she values the other people in his/her home, there is a problem.
If certain sentimental objects bring you joy to look at, then I think it's fine to sprinkle them throughout the places you frequent as you go about your day. Does that cup make you smile every time you open your cupboard? Are you still able to store everything else you need to store in there without the cup being a hindrance? If both answers are "yes," then keep the cup!
I often encourage my clients to put small sentimental pieces of clothing, like a scarf or handkerchief, in their underwear drawer so they can start each day off with a warm memory. When the time is right to let it go, they'll know.
That Rainforest Jumperoo is freakin' AWESOME. No wonder your kid likes it. 😉 If Fisher-Price made an office chair version for adults–complete with the palm fronds hanging over the frog chair–I would own it, and love it. It just makes me grin to look at it.
Yeah, it's taking up space, but I can just visualize how much joy your kid gets bouncing and playing in that thing. So just imagine how much joy you can get because you don't have to imagine, you can watch him and his joy.
I'm not sure I qualify to have "uncluttered" standards yet, but I did keep the deer skull (with antlers attached!) that my son found when we were walking the dogs a few years ago. Sure, it's useless, it has no sentimental value, but it's so cool I just can't throw it out.
@Erin – ah yes, illogical parental fears – we all have to make room for them! Take hope in the fact that your son will grow faster than you could ever imagine, and unless you're planning on/hoping for another kid, you'll be able to get rid of the giant jumpy thingy soon.
And yes, I did eventually learn to be more mature in my approach to parental discipline, learning that the root of the word is "disciple," which means to guide and to set a good example. Hopefully I got better at doing just that.
I don't often have a problem getting rid of "stuff" once I put my mind to it, but then again, out in our storage room, I have one of those Rubbermaid wrapping-paper holders crammed to the gills with old posters neatly rolled into cardboard tubes. I have no idea if I'll ever put them on my walls again, but I can't bear to part with them, especially the London Transport ones from the 70s that are irreplaceable. Yes, I'm making excuses for not freeing up that space.
Once I discovered eBay I spent years looking for, and buying, replacements for various lost treasures. It certainly gave me a sense of closure (and yes, I bought back a copy of that comic book).
I never got rid of any of my kids' stuff without consulting with them and getting approval first.
Well, the general rule is that it's not clutter if it has value. Sentimental value is a species of value, so the relevant questions become: what sentiment is invoked, how strongly does it move me, can I re-evaluate this attachment, and so on. Sometimes I'll realize that I have saved (e.g.) a sweater I never wear because it was a gift from Aunt so-and-so, but that's less significant to me than I thought 5 years ago, plus I have some other memento from her which means a lot more, so the sweater goes to good will. OTOH, cute notes from my kids have much longer staying power, so the trick is just to corral them (the notes, not the kids).
@infmom – Good God, how awful. I guess I can take consolation that I learned from my mistakes and corrected my course along the way; at any rate, my son seems to have turned out all right, despite my youthful idiocies. But to still not learn from one's mistakes twenty, thirty, or more years later? All you can do, I suppose, is accept that you can't make someone else gain insight or grow, you can only take your own lessons from it and do what is in your own power to set a better course.
Anyway, I just wanted to give Erin the heads-up to avoid one parental pitfall, as much as possible, while she's still early on in the game. 😉 Bet she never knew she'd get a cheering section when she started doing this blogging thing!
She did the same with our Star Wars toys, which were always neatly put away in a closet, so it's not like they were clutter. I would have loved to have had those for my boys, they adore Star Wars.
So yes, if it's time to declutter toys (i.e. there are toys the kids really, really don't play with anymore, and cannot be saved for the next generation), let the kids in on it, and work with them. Don't just toss stuff and let them find out later.
Based on your description of the item and it's use, I'd classify it as awkward, inconvenient and perhaps unaethetic but not clutter. Isn't part of the definition of clutter something you don't need, doesn't add to your (family's) life, or that isn't loved?
There's a lot to be said for something that amuses and contains your child at the same time. Particularly once the child becomes otherwise mobile. The loss of the jumperoo might not distract you, but your son certainly will.
For kids, I think a once a day cleanup is a good balance between allowing creativity and play on the one hand, and keeping tidy and developing good habits on the other. How are you supposed to learn to combine colors if you only get one crayon at a time? To create mixed media art if you can use only one set at a time? To invent something new, if you think of a new way to combine things but your parent won't let you work with both at the same time?
Can't there be a happy medium between tossing your kid's toys while cackling in glee and hoarding every straw wrapper so as not to traumatize Snowflake?
We rotate toys, and ones that are outgrown or have lost interest go into a dated box. At birthdays and Christmas, boxed items are selected for donation to charity. Our son makes all the decisions, but he knows that something has to go when something new comes in.
@Mary – I don't think any of us meant to suggest never throw anything away and let the garbage pile high in the name of nostalgia. 😉 All I said, myself, is, Don't throw it away while it's still meaningful, useful, beloved, etc. to your child. And I'm talking about real toys and other possessions, not straw wrappers or other straw men. I'm advocating the happy middle ground of courtesy and respect which lies between disrespect and snowflakiness.
The bottom line is to let your child be the one to decide what s/he is ready to get rid of in order to make space for the new. Train the kid to be self-uncluttering… though during the teen years, you just might have to settle for "keep it all in YOUR room and keep the door closed at all times." 😀 But they outgrow that, never fear.
Okay, I should add to the above that in the case of babies and small children, you, the adult, will have to make the uncluttering decisions. 😉 But make it based on your observations of when the baby/child has naturally grown "detached" from the objects in question, outgrown them and moved on to something else, i.e., when THEY no longer value them, vs. whether you yourself value them.
I hear you on the jumperoo. Those things take up so much space! I wish they would invent one that collapses flat. The thing will be outgrown in no time, so try not to think about it too much.
For any parents reading this, once your kids are over the toddler age, they are old enough for you to consider their feelings. And if your kids are in their teens, please, do not just go into their rooms and toss stuff. Show some respect…or be prepared for the consequences, which can last a lifetime. Seriously.
Think about how you'd feel if your kids decided to go through your stuff while you weren't around and just toss it. Just because kids have not yet left the house does not mean you own their property.
If you've got problems or issues, including safety ones, then have a discussion.
And for spouses who are neatniks with spouses with clutter tendencies…do not even think of throwing stuff out without permission. I can't think of something that shows less respect. I've witnessed both male and female spouses toss stuff with no regard for the owner's feelings. It's not pretty folks and it is so disrespectful. We're adults here and should be treated as such.
Yes, there is a fine line between keeping sentimental toys and hoarding. I grew up in a family of hoarders who still have a house full of "stuff". My parents asked me to help clean out my 23 year old brother's room, and he has kept every piece of paper and toy he has ever owned/used. I got rid of almost everything. He called to ask about one item but that is it. Please teach your children that it is ok to give toys away and not keep everything!! It can become very disturbing later in life. I did keep all of my Barbie dolls, as my mother did, and now have a beautiful collection spanning back to the 50s to pass on to my future daughters, but mostly got rid of everything else.
The only exceptions I make are "things" that need to be done. They stay in view to remind me. I keep them from cluttering up the space by doing them! The only problem with this method is my husband, who likes to "help" by putting things away. Last week I took the stepladder out of the closet to change a lightbulb. I went downstairs to get a bulb and by the time I got back he had put the ladder away. Oh well, there are worse problems than an overly helpful husband…..
Normally I'm a very tidy person and love to keep everything very minimal. Unfortunately the dishes are have been piling up in the drying rack and we just use them straight from it.
This exception is probably for to do with laziness but I guess I've been letting it go because I feel like there are more important things to be doing.
When I'm finished working on all of my websites, projects, garden, marketing course and everything else on my to do list I'll get to it….
Maybe some time in the next ten years or so.
I have a "clutter-okay" zone where I can pile up paperwork, small projects, etc. One place in the house/apartment, typically in the bedroom so most guests would never see it, and I tackle it every week or so to keep it from getting completely out of hand.
My exceptions come in the form of Things That Are Used daily (or darm close to daily!) and that somehow geuninely enhance our quality of life. They are beautiful, for example. We have six people in a 2500 sq foot, 1890 farmhouse in rural Virginia, so we do NOT have room for the junk.
Exceptions to our uncluttered-ness are the violins. I allow them to be out and available because it's much easier to practice, even for three minutes, if you can see and reach your violin on it's shelf! (our players are me, the 7 yr old, the 4 yr old and the 3 yr old. Now if only I could get my husband to help me install those built-in bookcases! Cheers! and enjoy the jumpy phase. It won't last!
WOW. Your child's favorite toy is "clutter" because it irritates you?
You act like "uncluttering" is some sort of virtue–ditching a cup that you love, or giving your kids only ten toys. I think you've gone through clutter and out the other side to an unhealthy fixation on your "decluttered" life as a source of affirmation and spiritual sustenance. That's not any healthier than not being able to throw out something you really, really don't want because it was great-grandma's.
Moderation. Try it. You don't have to ditch everything that it isn't spiritually worthy of you. ("Does it represent the highest me?" SERIOUSLY?) The purpose of decluttering isn't to reach decluttered nirvana but to create a more functional and aesthetic life. For some people, believe it or not, that still means what I'd consider to be a LOT of stuff. For others, that means very few personal belongings at all. A person who throws away more, though, doesn't become a better person through the act of purging.
The mere fact that you'd think of your kid's favorite toy as "clutter" indicates that you've slipped far into bulimic decluttering.
@Reya — Your comment indicates that you are not a regular reader of this website. If you were, you would know that we don't take an extremist view. Additionally, if you have children, then I bet there is something your child has that you hate. For me, it's a Jumperoo. For my friend Krystal, it's her son's giant rocking horse. If you don't have children, I bet the same is true for a parent, friend, spouse, or neighbor. You may not personally like the flamingos in your neighbor's yard, but you don't go and rip them up. You don't have to like everything all the people around you like. It's okay. Being different is totally fine.
As soon as my girls outgrew their Jumperoo, it went on craigslist, and it was gone within a week. And you know, I actually miss the damn thing, and I get a little wistful that it's gone. But then I remind myself that the whole reason I miss it is because the girls got too big for it, and some other baby is enjoying the hell out of it (the lady who bought it sent me a youtube link with her baby going batshit crazy jumping in the thing). And I still have my videos of my girls enjoying it.
Actually, I've read every single entry from the very first one. The comments were a good deal more shrill in the first year, but once a month or so, there's still a post that brings out the "my-values-are-the-only-right-ones" responses by the bushel. (The "only 10 toys" reference is to a post that you probably don't even remember.) The unitasker posts are most often the worst offenders, but there are others.
Yes, I hated the baby swing because it was in the way. That doesn't mean that it was "clutter" or that I was relaxing my standards because I didn't toss it! It never would have occurred to me in my wildest dreams to label it clutter–because clutter is, by definition, extraneous and purposeless. And while I'm glad to pack everything away again, I'm not getting rid of it until I know I'm done with kids–if you have the physical space to keep such things out of the way, doing otherwise is simply wasteful.
You're going beyond "uncluttering" into something else–a place where you're throwing away things that you love and that make you happy and aren't interfering in any way; a place where something truly useful becomes "clutter" in your mind; a place where decluttering is an end and not a means. Purging for the sake of purging isn't any healthier than keeping for the sake of keeping. Both are the externalization of a need to control one's environment, and both are adding baggage to something that shouldn't be so dramatic.
You write in defensiveness every couple of months about "hate mail" you get from people who say you think you're better than other people, etc. When I first began reading, I projected my own feelings about "life clutter" onto you and was wholly on your side. The longer I read, though, and the more of your back-posts I read, the more I began leaning toward the view of your critics. And yes, I do read a number of other organization blogs, and each has its own tone (I suspect that half Jeri Dansky's enjoyment of organization is the pretty containers she can use!) and its own bent, but this is the only one I get the sense from that the act of decluttering–not even organization, per se, but decluttering–is more important than the result.
Just because it's the first time I've posted doesn't mean I haven't been reading for a long time. This posts, though, epitomized everything that has bothered me about your blog for a long time. While it's nice to have a blog from a "naturally messy" neat person, as I am, too, if it veers too far in the other direction toward compulsive purging, it will cease to be useful.
@Reya — I guess we'll just have to disagree. You think I'm a nutjob who promotes getting rid of things for the sole purpose of getting rid of things, and I know from my own life that your opinion is inaccurate.
If you want to read about real extremists, though, you should Google "freegan" and "ascetic" to see learn about those groups. I am neither, and neither of those groups would count me as a member. That being said, I have nothing against these groups and support people's choices to live however they wish. It doesn't hurt me in the least.
Which, brings me back to my main point — it's okay if your definition of an unclutterer and mine are different. Being different is a good thing. It makes the world a rich place to live.
Finally, the first few months of Unclutterer's history, I didn't even work here. I think many of your complaints aren't even with my writing, but with Jerry's, Matt's or other team members. I, obviously, wrote this post, but I don't think this is the one you have the biggest problem with based on your comments. Again, we all have different view points on uncluttering, and each person views it differently. It's okay if you don't agree with everything we write.

2 bodies found on Niigata mountain, thought to be missing father, son
NIIGATA, Japan - Two bodies were found Tuesday on a mountain in Niigata Prefecture, central Japan, where a father and his 6-year-old son went missing earlier this month, police said.
The police believe the bodies are those of Koya Shibuya, 37, and his son Sora, who went hiking in the Gozu Mountain Range on the eastern border of the city of Agano on May 5.
The police and rescuers had been searching for the two since May 7.
Shibuya called his father on the afternoon of May 5 saying they were lost and called again the next morning, telling him they were making a descent.
The police initially believed the two were going to hike up two mountains, both about 500 meters high, but they extended the search area after finding a note at the foot of Mt. Matsudaira indicating the pair were heading to the top of the 954-meter mountain, unfit for novice climbers.

All Discovering Sacred Texts collection items
Japheth ben Ali ha-Levi's Commentary on Joshua
A 15th-century copy of the commentary on Joshua by the famed Karaite biblical commentator – Japheth ben Ali ha-Levi (lived in the 10th century CE).
Who are the Karaites?
The Karaites were a Jewish religious sect founded in the 8th century CE in Babylonia by Anan ben David. They rejected rabbinic tradition and recognised the Hebrew Bible as the sole source of religious law. This led to a concentration on the study of the text of the Bible, on its 'correct' pronunciation, translation and interpretation. There is no certainty as to why the Karaites transcribed the Hebrew Bible into Arabic, but this may have represented an attempt to arrive at a correct reading tradition for the Bible, which they considered superior to the masoretic text of the Rabbanites (rabbinical Jews).
Following the destruction of the Karaite centres of scholarship in Palestine by the Crusaders in 1099 CE, the Karaite movement declined; its main centre moved to Turkey and, later, to Lithuania and the Crimea. Nowadays communities of Karaite Jews live in Israel, particularly in Ramla, and in the USA.
The manuscript
The text was neatly penned on paper by a skilled scribe whose identity is unknown. His handwriting can be nonetheless regarded as typically Karaite. He employed two distinct kinds of script: punctuated square script for the biblical text, and semi-cursive script without vowel points, for the Judeo-Arabic translation.

Are you planning to a fun event with a group of your closest friends? We appreciate that there is a lot of planning and coordination that comes with any event for a group of people. You also want to have fun and not stress about making sure folks get home safely. Let Best In VT Tours & Charter handle all of the transportation logistics and door-to-door driving so that you don't have to.


Most kids can spend hours crouching by the shore, building sandcastles and watching them crumble every time a wave comes along. You shouldn't muck up their fun with pressure to build like a professional. But if your child aspires to be the next Frank Lloyd Wright, we've got some tips on building a castle that lasts.
First, choose your site wisely. If you build too close to the water's edge, your castle will disappear with the first wave. Build too far back, though, and you'll have to dig forever to reach the water table (the spot where water seeps up from the ground.) Fine-grained sand works best, but don't despair if your beach is more gravel than powdered sugar.
Use a shovel to dig down to the water table, then dig out very wet handfuls of sand.
Spread a few bucketfuls out and level, that's your foundation.
Now, dip back into the hole of wet sand and use your hands to gently create round discs for towers and rectangular bricks for walls. Do not squeeze or press the sand, you want it very, very wet.
Stack the shapes into towers and walls, tapering in size slightly as you go so the upper layers don't topple over. The weight of the water and gravity will compact the sand, helping it stick together as it dries.
The pros (yes, there are people who build sandcastles for a living!) purchase tools to build and decorate their masterpieces, but you'll do fine with plastic flatware, a paintbrush, and some plastic figures. Use a plastic knife or sharp stick to carve windowpanes and brick walls. Dig out a surrounding moat with a spoon and stock it with toy fish. Use a paintbrush to brush away loose sand and debris. Carefully carve turrets on your tower and mark it with a twig flag.
Let your budding architect use imagination, drip soaking wet sand over the walls for a wet cement look, hollow out an arch, lay a walkway of seashells. Voila! Home, sweet home, at least until high tide.

Compute a small strain under generalized plane strain assumptions where the out of plane strain is generally nonzero.
The material ComputePlaneSmallStrain calculates the small incremental strain for 2D plane strain problems. It can be used for classical thick body plane strain problems, Weak Plane Stress models, or in Generalized Plane Strain simulations.
In the classical thick body plane strain problem, the strain component in the out-of-plane direction (the infinitely thick direction) is held constant at zero: (1) is the strain tensor diagonal component for the direction of the out-of-plane strain.
In the cases of the generalized plane strain and weak plane stress models, the component of strain and the deformation gradient in the out-of-plane direction is non-zero. To solve for this out-of-plane strain, we use the out-of-plane strain variable as the strain tensor component (2) where is the strain tensor diagonal component for the direction of the out-of-plane strain and is a prescribed out-of-plane strain value: this strain value can be given either as a scalar variable or a nonlinear variable. The Generalized Plane Strain problems use scalar variables. Multiple scalar variables can be provided such that one strain calculator is needed for multiple generalized plane strain models on different subdomains.
The definition of a small total linearized strain is (3) The values of each of the strain tensor components depends on the direction selected by the user as the out-of-plane direction.
The default out-of-plane direction is along the -axis. For this direction the strain tensor, Eq. (3), is given as (4) where is defined in Eq. (2). As in the classical presentation of the strain tensor in plane strain problems, the components of the strain tensor associated with the -direction are zero; these zero components indicate no coupling between the in-plane and the out-of-plane strains.
If the user selects the out-of-plane direction as along the -direction, the strain tensor from Eq. (3) is given as (5) so that the off-diagonal components of the strain tensor associated with the -direction are zeros.
If the user selects the out-of-plane direction as along the -direction, the strain tensor from Eq. (3) is given as (6) so that the off-diagonal components of the strain tensor associated with the -direction are zeros.
If selected by the user, the strain tensor is conditioned with a formulation to mitigate volumetric locking of the elements. The volumetric locking correction is applied to the total strain (7) where is the volumetric strain and is the Rank-2 identity tensor. For more details about the theory behind Eq. (7) see the Volumetric Locking Correction documentation.
As an example, the use of this plane strain class with the Generalized Plane Strain simulations uses the scalar out-of-plane strains. The tensor mechanics MasterAction is used to create the ComputePlaneSmallStrain class with the planar_formulation = GENERALIZED_PLANE_STRAIN and strain = SMALL settings.
This plane strain class is used to model plane strain with an out-of-plane strain in directions other than in the -direction. As an example, the tensor mechanics MasterAction can be used to create the ComputePlaneFiniteStrain class for a -direction out-of-plane strain with the planar_formulation = PLANE_STRAIN and the out_of_plane_direction = y settings.

100 Best Songs About Exes
Ansel Pereira
I have been an online writer for over six years. I am passionate about books, philosophy, music, and the music industry.
After a breakup, life seems unforgiving, especially when you are not able to get over that someone you loved. While you try every possible way to get over your boyfriend or girlfriend, memories of your ex become overwhelmingly vivid. Why is getting over someone after a breakup an emotionally painful process? Moving on after a relationship is never easy when you get plagued with bitter memories of the past. Listening to songs that make references to the difficulties faced in getting over an ex help immensely to emerge stronger after a breakup.
Does Listening to Songs About Exes Actually Help?
Listening to songs that make references or address an ex actually helps people in their ordeals of moving on after a breakup. Certain songs that showcase the harsh realities and unpleasantness associated with getting over a love interest help listeners in similar situations to analyze and introspect. Examining your own thoughts in new light makes the entire process of moving on after a breakup a little easier.
While many seek escapism from unpleasant realities with entertainment and fantasy as a means of distraction to supplement emotional well being, it is not the right way to deal with things. The best way to break from the shackles of a breakup is facing the situation instead of running away from it. When you listen to songs about broken relationships certain instances and happenings mentioned in the lyrics relate to your life. When you feel connected with songs that enlighten your mind, you feel proactive with your thought process.
What Do Songs About a Former Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Husband, or Wife, Symbolize?
Songs about exes may showcase diverse aspects of a breakup. While certain songs narrate the difficulties of moving on, many songs express the emotions of still being in love with the person after the relationship has ended. Certain songs metaphorically highlight resentment and ill feelings towards a former love interest with a sense of dark sarcasm. The lyrics in certain songs are a mournful lament pleading an ex to get back. Singers and songwriters often describe character traits of a former, boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, husband, or wife, while expressing a feeling of pensive sadness. Certain tunes lyrically outline the maturity of individuals as they try and cope up with a breakup.
In songs from different genres, singers and songwriters poetically describe the feeling of being used in a relationship. The inability to deal with situations after a relationship ends is thoughtfully described in certain love songs. A number of songs express the root cause of having trust issues through a bitter breakup experience. Singers and songwriters may showcase their relationship with an ex in a positive manner or negative manner. Certain songs about splitting up showcase the misery and fury of being cheated in a relationship. The lyrics in certain love songs about parting ways describe the cordial relationship a person shares with a former boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, husband or wife. Songs about exes may portray a wide spectrum of attributes associated symbolically with
Awkwardness
The list below showcases an epic collection of rock songs, pop songs, country songs, R&B songs, folk songs, alternative songs, indie songs, hip hop songs, jazz songs, blues songs, and dance songs about a former, boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, husband, or wife. If you have view, opinion, or song suggestion, let us know in the comments section.

I won't ever forget 2015 – the most physically and mentally demanding year of my life – it all changed in late April when my friend died. I have so many good memories from our adventures together over 25 years – we remained friends to the end. I'm glad he and my Chap were good pals too.
All that happened last year stretched my resilence to its limit, but I've come through the other side. It's reminded me to stick to my principles, take care of myself and that there's always a way forward, even if it's tiny steps. Counselling, mindfulness, tai chi, yoga, and walking in the great outdoors, espccially time in my garden, have all helped me top up my resilence. My Chap, my family, and my friends all helped too. It's a long and complicated journey to recovery but I'll get there.
William Ford Gibson coined the team 'cyberspace' in 1984 and wrote about the principles that govern how something like the world wide web might operate. Tim Burners Lee 'invented' the internet in 1989 (at CERN). Cyberspace has given me so much over the years, I've worked with academics, since the early 1990s so I was an 'early adopter' of email and the www – I'm fortunate. Most of all the web has given me ways to stay in touch with my friends and make new ones – and I met my Chap on an internet dating site five years ago.
Alot of the time last year, I've really struggled to write, which is a bit of an issue when I write for a living. But my blog has helped as I can write about things I love. I've found a lovely, friendly and helpful blogging community too – especially all the gardening bloggers. I'm still an amateur gardener compared to most of them but that doesn't matter.
I've really enjoyed contributing to 'In a Vase on Monday' hosted by Cathy from 'Rambling in the Garden' which involves picking flowers and plants from your garden or the local area and putting them in a vase. Sounds simple doesn't it? It is – so do join in.
I love looking at everyones vases, from across the world. It's given me so many ideas what to plant in my garden too. The flowers and vases have lifted my spirits in the dark times.
Most of all, everyone is so lovely, friendly and supportive. I'm going to try to comment more this year on people's vases. I've appreciated every single comment on my vases, and I hope my vases and flowers have lifted someones mood too.
The #100happydays challenge has helped me look for positive things every day, even when I'm having an exhausting day. My favourite part of the 100happydays challenge was writing about Lisbon – a wonderful city which I know we'll visit again.
My garden continues to be my solace. I know it, my pals and family, but most of all my wonderful Chap will help me get to where I want to be.
I'm a proud member; I've tried so many new things this year, met lots of new pals and had fun too. I'm going to write more about my WI adventures in 2016 too. If you're local join us… if not have a look for a local group. There are Men's Sheds too.
more cooking and 'crap' crafting too.
my thoughts and dreams for the future – and to be braver!
Thank you to everyone who's read or commented on my blog – I appreciate it more than I can say = I'm still surprised where you all come from.

Born and raised in Coeur d'Alene, former Marine, Matthew Wild was diagnosed with ALS in 2015. After learning about the horrible financial toll the disease can have on families without the support of the VA, he and his wife founded Matt's Place Foundation. Together, their mission is to continue to spread awareness of the disease, as well as to build "smart homes" for families to live in while they navigate the disease. The foundation also provides families that need assistance with remodeling, such as ramps and bathroom remodels. The homes are designed to allow each patient to have dignity and independence, by allowing them to navigate their environment with voice, cell phone and eye gaze technology. These homes are designed to keep the family together and create memories in their final years. While Matthew feels that research and other foundations have made progress over the last few years in combatting the effects of the disease, there is still much to be done. The family is left with the devastating toll of the caring giving and are left with little. By providing housing assistance for families, it relieves one less stress in an impossible situation that many families struggle to maintain.


Played here on a superbly organised charity day (The Lady Taverners) during the "monsoon period" at the end of June 2007. This is a well designed, easy walking parkland course, with tree lined fairways and hidden ponds and streams that come into play and make club selection very important. It looks and plays much more mature than its age suggests, the greens were superb and stood up very well to the volume the players on a day that saw most people change in and out of waterproofs several times. The food and facilities were top class in lovely surroundings.
One point to bear in mind as a first time visitor, is the distance the clubhouse is from the pro shop and course, a compromise has to be chosen on parking ones car.
Played the course for the first time, and absolutely loved it. Despite the time of year, the course was a joy to play, even with the greens undergoing preparation for the new season, and the fairways suffering from an excess of recent rainfall. Every hole was a fair challenge, with the right balance between risk and reward, especially the brilliantly designed 16th. The staff and members were very welcoming and were a credit to the club. I would highly recommend a visit, and despite living over an hour's drive away, will make the effort to play there again. First class course coupled with a first class venue.
Enjoyed Kenwick. Difficult course. Great professional - Eric Sharpe - and good stock in shop. I'll be back.
I managed to play some of the worst golf of my life; probably, came last in a tournament, and still came away thinking what a good course this was!
The greens were in excellent condition, very true with enough borrow on some to make them testing. The fairways although narrow in places were in good condition, and all the people I met were most helpful and polite.
The off-course facilities and the food very good.
So why did I play so badly, just one of those days, combined with not thinking about what was the sensible shot. A course that requires good placement if you are to score well.
In the words of Arnie "I'll be back"

Hi everyone! Welcome to the "Joyful Stars" Blog hop for July. We could pick anything CTMH and I had to give you a peek at what's coming in August. I'm so excited about the new catalog, new products and the new Cricut cartridge. So, grab all the soon to be retired papers and stamps this month and pre-order the catalogs and get ready for next month.
The card I made is with the new Circle spin cards and envelopes Z1866 with my favorite paper Laughing Lola X7170B. I also used new Mini stamps Birthday Wish M1033 and A Little gift M1030.
Sparkle flourishes, silver trim and of course the AP Cricut cartridge was used. To embellish, I spritzed the card with a little re-inker.
Here is a close-up of the swing card.
This is the inside of the card that can be decorated as well.
Next month the blog hop theme will be anything NEW so be ready for that on August 10th. Below is a list of hoppers so if you get lost you come back here to find your way. We have 15 bloggers this month, so have fun hopping. Now hop on over to NICKIE'S blog to see what wonderful creation she came up with.

Caracas (AFP) - President Nicolas Maduro charged Saturday that tighter, "stupid" new US sanctions are just further straining to undermine military staff loyalty after Venezuela derailed a bid to oust him.
"These sanctions are a threat -- to see if they can break the morale of leaders of our armed forces ... in March, I announced that we put down an attempted coup d'etat, thanks to our brass' loyalty," Maduro said at a speech in Caracas.
The tighter US sanctions freeze assets and deny visas to Venezuelan authorities responsible for violence and political detentions triggered by the protests.
"Have you ever heard of such arrogance?" leftist firebrand Maduro asked angrily.
"As if we cared about visas to get in the United States. ... Idiots!" he roared.
On Saturday, Maduro -- the general elected to succeed late longtime President Hugo Chavez -- also suggested involvement by the US embassy in the June plot to topple him, which he said aimed to use a Venezuelan military aircraft to bomb Caracas targets.
"The coup plotters were trying to get a plane here or bring it in, with Venezuelan tags," Maduro said. "The number-one bombing target was (state and regional news channel) Telesur ... then the defense ministry and then the presidential palace."
"I can tell you, US embassy officials: one by one: I know who is plotting. And I can tell you this: if your stupid sanctions law serves any purpose, it will be to strengthen our fighters' resistence."
On Wednesday, the US Congress gave its final approval Wednesday to new sanctions against Venezuelan officials accused of violating the human rights of anti-government protestors this year.
Thousands of activists were arrested and more than 43 people were killed during mass demonstrations against Maduro's government, which raged from February to May.
The US hit Venezuela government officials with travel bans in July, but lawmakers said they did not receive White House support for a sanctions bill against Caracas.
But failed efforts from Latin American allies to reform the government in Venezuela led US President Barack Obama to switch his stance on increased sanctions, the White House said in November.
Maduro, whose popularity has sunk to record lows amid economic woes and rampant violent crime, has called a rally for Monday against the US sanctions.
