Graduate Review
Lost Between Worlds: Gay Men in World War II
Braydon Conell, University of Nebraska at KearneyFollow
While some queer World War II soldiers, like Christine Jorgensen, returned from war to become pioneers in the field of gender and sexuality, not all had the same support and experience. Anti-sodomy laws had a long history in the United States and its military, but no specific provision barred homosexuals from service until World War II. At the center of this change was the transition from a policy considering homosexual acts as a crime to a psychiatrist-controlled policy that homosexuality was an illness that made gay men unfit to fight. For those not excluded, the threat of an other-than-dishonorable discharge, or blue discharge, loomed overhead. While World War II served as a cultural shift for queer individuals' prospects for future advancement of their civil and human rights, the threat of discharge from the United States armed forces undoubtedly conditioned a response and environment that fueled homophobic ideology as evident by the development of psychiatry and sociology on homosexuality during the war, the downplay of intimate homosocial experiences, and the trauma associated with hiding from one's sexuality and being outed at the same time. Coming out could have also meant being disowned by one's family, losing G.I. benefits, and struggling to find civilian work upon coming home from the war. To understand the complete psychological and social history of war, the experience of homosexual soldiers must be highlighted.

What I learned about remote work from Slack's Stewart Butterfield and Atlassian's Mike Cannon-Brookes
News » Insights » Future of work » What I learned about remote work from Slack's Stewart Butterfield and Atlassian's Mike Cannon-Brookes
Julie Walker - September 15, 2020 3 MIN READ
The Slack and Atlassian founders chat about the future of remote work, remotely.
I recently sat down for a Slack Sessions virtual panel with Stewart Butterfield, CEO of Slack, and Mike Cannon-Brookes, CEO of Atlassian, to discuss what they've learnt this year.
Their organisations, along with many others around the world, have dealt with the lightning speed transition to remote work.
Stewart and Mike have unique perspectives on this topic.
Both at the helm of tech companies at the forefront of digital transformation, they have played an instrumental role in helping organisations adapt to this disruption of work, while navigating their own companies through that same disruption.
The shift to remote work's impact
Right now we're all participating in the world's largest telecommunication experiment.
Earlier this year, organisations had to adapt to having a distributed workforce in a matter of weeks, even days. Organisations that were already flexible in their approach were able, on the whole, to take this transition in their stride, while more traditional organisations struggled to adapt.

Stewart mentioned that one of the greatest obstacles organisations have faced during the past few months has been how to effectively communicate and collaborate. With the sudden shift, pre-existing inefficiencies have been exposed.
Mike asked us to consider what the future of work might look like, if organisations placed less emphasis on traditional office spaces, and more on spaces where people can come together to brainstorm or work collaboratively, combined with working remotely.
Employees should be supported to work where and how they want. For employees who want to go into the office, there is a space that suits their needs. For those wanting to work remotely, they should be given the trust and flexibility to do so.
Staying aligned and agile
A fundamental challenge for organisations – made in some cases more difficult by COVID-19 – is one of alignment, which can be more challenging with a distributed workforce.
Both Mike and Stewart agree that organisations with a clear mission and well-established values have found it easier to keep their teams aligned and on track.
Agility has proven to be a key differentiator. Truly agile companies are able to respond to the external environment and reshape their offerings, services and products accordingly.
According to Mike, businesses need to constantly be asking themselves: "Am I heading in the right direction?" Then reflect on their learnings, reset their compass and move forward.
Open leadership
Throughout the pandemic, increased pressure has been placed on leaders to ensure that employees feel supported. Mike and Stewart agree that for leaders to truly connect with their people and improve engagement, they should open the conversation up.
One of the most effective things a leader can do is empower and entrust their employees, while ensuring expectations are clear and transparent. This engenders loyalty, a sense of common purpose and keeps teams aligned to business objectives.
As companies, Slack and Atlassian were quick to act in communicating and executing on plans to go remote back in March.
Following initial announcements, the teams at Slack and Atlassian had transitioned to a distributed global workforce in less than 48 hours.
During the transition, both leaders kept the lines of communication open with employees about the transition and how this would be supported by the organisation.
Never waste a crisis
I will give the final words to Stewart, who spoke about embracing the opportunity, at this unprecedented time, to make changes that will ensure we emerge better and stronger in the long term.
"Never waste a crisis. There's never going to be a time, I hope, in our lifetimes, where change is as cheap as it is now," Stewart said.
"When I look back at things that I regret most, or the worst decisions that we've made over the last many years, it's been not reorganising in this way that makes more sense because people don't like reorgs.
"This is the time to look at anything that you were doing in the old world that was ineffective or inefficient, or that didn't work for employees, or that didn't work for customers, and change it.
"A crisis does create opportunities that wouldn't otherwise exist. I would say, take advantage of that, move quickly to make the changes that you always wanted to, or that you're newly aware are desirable, because this moment won't last."

Weekend Reading: November 7-9 Edition
Juliana Shafroth
Lists and Contests - Weekend Reading
War on the Rocks readers: we hope by now you've recovered from the midterms. If you aren't already raring to go for 2016, we hope you'll at least be excited to read some of great pieces from this week that we've gathered together!
Oh, is that what they think? Elliot Abrams at the Council on Foreign Relations encourages the United States to consider how its allies in the Middle East perceive its policies. In its attempts to counter ISIL, allies in the region such as Jordan, Israel and Saudi Arabia, see the United States as having relaxed its stance on Iran. In doing so, Abrams argues, the United States has alienated its key allies. For Israel, the relaxation of the American stance on Iran's nuclear program is a major concern; while for the Arabs, the United States is seemingly favoring Middle Eastern Shia populations in its dealings with ISIL and Iran; and nobody is clued into U.S. strategy in Iraq and Syria. Until the United States takes greater care of its allies, Abrams believes, its policies in the Middle East are not going to be taken seriously.
Syria. In Small Wars Journal Nicholas B. Pace describes the ways in which the decentralized nature of ISIL makes it more flexible and therefore more resilient to counterterrorism efforts. Through the spread of ideas and ideology, terrorism has become disperse and mostly "self-generated," making it much more difficult to target. If the United States is to effectively combat ISISL it must understand that its organizational model is not a hierarchy, and that the war it should really be waging is one against ideas.
Meanwhile at The Daily Beast, Hassan Hassan talks about how the United States' current undefined intentions toward Bashar al-Assad are untenable and perhaps counterproductive.
WOTR's Daveed Gartenstein-Ross fills us in on David Drugeon, a high-ranking member of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Khorasan group in Syria, who may have been a French intelligence agent.
Iran won't have a breakout moment. As the United States attempts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran, James Acton in The National Interest writes that it must rethink its strategy. Up until now, the United States has been concerned with a "breakout" nuclear weapons program. As history has shown however, "would-be proliferators try to sneak out; they don't breakout," and therefore the current monitoring by the IAEA is unlikely to hinder nuclear weapon development. The United States must instead direct its attention to Iranian covert attempts to develop a parallel nuclear program. To successfully prevent this will require a focus on the detection of secret facilities, and a greater degree of transparency in the country.
Robert Hunter at Lobelog discusses the Israeli opposition to a final nuclear deal with Iran, and what to do about it. While a nuclear deal would remove Iran from the fray and reintegrate it into the international community, Israel has a host of reasons it does not want this to happen. Obama must therefore strike a balance between continuing with negotiations, which will inevitably damage Israeli trust in U.S. loyalty, while also reassuring Israel that its security and safety is still a major U.S. priority.
India-Pakistan. At the International Institute for Strategic Studies Kiran Hassan argues that in the wake of the death of more than 55 people in a suicide bombing at the Wagah crossing of the India-Pakistan border this week, there is still evidence of popular rapprochement. In looking at different indicators such as bilateral trade relations, cross-country information exchange, the youth bulge, and public diplomacy, Hassan believes that there is an opportunity for an improvement in Indian-Pakistani relations. To do so, Pakistan must let go of its fear of Indian domination, and India must be willing to engage with the Pakistani military. While these are no small asks, this year's Nobel Peace Prize winners have already paved the way for more peaceful relations between the two states.
Extreme times call for extreme…methods. Jordan Bravin at Cicero Magazine talks about the need for new means of measuring military success that can keep pace with the ever-changing nature of modern warfare. Military operations are no longer cut-and-dry wins or losses, but for the last half-century have left the "victors" wondering what their metric for success should be. Given that in the current military landscape, "nobody really knows what 'winning' looks like," using unconventional methods to measure security and development efforts will be vital in ensuring that the United States gains an understanding of "what works and what doesn't, bringing an end to the guessing game that has dominated U.S. foreign policy for the last 40 years."
Target practice. Jordan Teicher of Slate shows us photographer Herlinde Koelbl's unique examination of how different countries design their shooting targets. Koelbl's photographs illustrate the way in which a target can "reflect a country's evolving imagination of the enemy over time."
"For relaxing times, make it Suntory time." You may remember Bill Murray uttering those words in Lost in Translation, but unless you were waiting outside of a Barnes & Noble at midnight to get a fresh copy of the 2015 Jim Murray's Whisky Bible, it may come as a surprise to hear that this year the best whisky in the world has been awarded to a Japanese single-malt. Suntory's Yamazaki Single Malt's victory made waves in the whisky (and whiskey) world, being the first time the honor had gone to a Japanese maker. In a further blow to the Scottish, for the first time in the Whisky Bible's 12 dictatorial years of publication, not a single Scotch was listed in the top five. First the independence referendum, now this—it's been a tough year for Scotland.

YBR offers lowest rate on record
Yellow Brick Road has today announced its lowest ever variable home loan rate after passing on the RBA's full rate cut.
Yellow Brick Road is slashing interest rates on its Empower owner-occupier product range and its Rate Smasher Home Loan by 25 basis points.
The changes mean the variable rate for YBR's Rate Smasher Home Loan will start at 3.82 per cent with a 3.82 per cent comparison rate – the lowest variable comparison rate the group has ever offered – while its Empower Home Loan will start at 4.00 per cent (with a 4.00 per cent comparison rate).
Yellow Brick Road group executive chairman Mark Bouris said rates have been low for some time and many thought it was impossible to go any lower – yet it's happened again.
"My generation would never have believed rates could go this low. If customers have been ignoring the messages around slashing their interest rate and the savings potential over the last few years, they need to listen up now," Mr Bouris said.
"The banks have not been doing the right thing by the customer for some time and the discrepancy between their rates and smaller lenders like ours has never been clearer," he said.
"The big banks have been banging on in recent months about the cost of funding and the need to keep rates higher, yet smaller players like Yellow Brick Road whom operate under the same pressures have a rate that's now well below 4 per cent p.a. I think it's time for customers to finally act with their feet and demand a better deal or say goodbye to their bank."
The changes to Yellow Brick Road interest rates are effective immediately for new loans and changing on 25 May for existing loans.

I'm a mama of three and photography is my side hustle.
In 2011, I was a clueless expecting mama at 24 weeks going in to the OB for some symptoms people told me were "totally normal." I trusted my gut and made the appointment anyway. Turns out, at 24 weeks, I was losing my mucous plus and dilated 5 cm.
Steroid shot and ambulance ride later, I was told I would not leave the hospital til the baby was born. After several attempts of slowing labor, Aiden was born a few hours later in the water sack. He cried a few moments on his own and then was put on a vent. 1 lb 10 oz micro preemie miracle.
He was too small to breastfeed but I knew my milk was the best chance at helping him through the fight of his life. My body was not ready but I pumped anyway. By the time he was strong enough to try feedings through a feeding tube, I had enough stocked up to give him mothers milk.
After 109 days in the NICU he came home healthy. Now he is 7 years old and perfect. Trust your gut when you are pregnant, you know your body better than anyone. No matter how you feed or raise your child, mothers know best. I am now a mother of 3 healthy kiddos.

Women's Olympic History
Cindy Dick
Women's soccer - How the 1917 Dick, Kerr Ladies soccer team started by challenging the men.
The skill level of women's soccer has impressed the world as we watch the 2019 World Cup soccer players in awe. The U.S. faced England in the semi-finals and they gave us a great match. Whereas the growth of women's soccer in the U.S. has been credited to the passage of Title IX in 1972, the British Ladies Football Club (U.S. soccer) was created in 1894, with their most famous team being the "Dick, Kerr Ladies."
The Dick, Kerr Ladies came from the Preston weapons plant where women were hired because of the shortage of male workers during World War One. One day in 1917, as the women watched the men practice during a lunch break, they found themselves less than impressed with the skill level and challenged the men to play. The women enjoyed playing the game so much that they formed a team and it grew in membership and skill. They eventually played games to earn money to fund the wounded soldiers. Drawing thousands of fans, they raised money and encouraged other teams to form and compete against them. In 1920, they competed in front of a sold-out crowd of 53,000 fans with over 10,000 eagerly wanting to enter the stadium. The popularity of soccer with women was measurable. By 1921 there were 150 teams in the British Ladies Football Club that played in organized competitions.
While sports for boys was practically a rite of passage, for women in the early part of the 20th century, physical activity was only acceptable if the sport accentuated their grace and beauty, Sports such as ice skating, swimming, golf and tennis did not draw the public's ire but soccer and track and field did. Acceptable sports for women were not aggressive nor were they team sports. It was widely accepted, without scientific proof, that aggressive sports could hurt the womb and that would negatively affect a woman's primary role in being a mother. Moreover, unfeminine sports would make her muscle-bound, unattractive and unable to attract a husband. Women playing soccer was a direct challenge to the social fabric of society. Sadly, the team's success led to their demise. The British Football Association banned women from their stadiums for fear they were taking money from the men's game. The ban held until the late 1960s.
(Internationally, Germany also banned women's soccer from 1955-1970 and Brazil banned women's soccer from 1941-1979. To read more on the history of women's soccer in Latin America we recommend reading Futbolera by Brenda Elsey and Joshua Nadal.)
Because they could no longer play in the United Kingdom, the Dick, Kerr ladies hopped on a boat and competed against several men's teams in the United States; winning three games, tying three games, and losing three games.
Did they have trading cards?
The short answer is "no." It is ironic, but not surprising, that one of the most popular team sports today has the fewest number of cards pre-1972. After 24 years of collecting vintage women's sports cards, this is the only one (so far) in seeing nearly 2,000 cards within the time period, that shows a female soccer player. Unfortunately, none of the tobacco card companies took notice of the Dick, Kerr team. The Gloria Cigarettes card was printed in the Victorian era when women did not wear pants nor was short hair the style. We don't know the motivations of the image selection but she is clearly wearing a uniform that no self-respecting soccer player would wear. Ever. Within the 122 year span that we specialize in women's sports cards (1850s-1972), the late 1800s is when female athletes are shown in a sexualized manner on the cards. Afterwards, they are primarily show as athletes.
Card published in 1889-1890 by the American Cigarettes Company.

Air Canada Pension Deficit Reduced By 14% Roi

Air Canada pension deficit estimate falls on higher plan returns
03/26/2013| 05:42pm US/Eastern
Air Canada said a preliminary estimate of its pension solvency deficit has dropped to C$3.7 billion ($3.6 billion) from C$4.2 billion a year ago, reflecting a better-than-expected 14 percent return on plan assets.
Canada's largest carrier said in a recently filed annual information form that the estimate, as of January 1, 2013, was hurt by a decrease in the solvency discount rate to 3 percent from 3.3 percent. Valuations to determine the actual deficit will be completed in the first half of 2013.
Earlier this month, the airline won an extension of the cap on special payments to erase its pension fund deficit. Under the plan, which smaller rivals had objected to, Air Canada will have to pay a total of C$1.4 billion over seven years, or an average of C$200 million a year, with a minimum payment of C$150 million a year.

Porter Airlines strike pits unions against a union pension fund
The Porter Airlines strike is very 21st century. Strikers are young, ill-paid and have the deck stacked against them.
Wed Mar 27, 3013 - Toronto Star
Thomas Walkom
The strike against Porter Airlines in downtown Toronto is very much a modern labour dispute. It is low-key and almost invisible. It pits unions against themselves. It is also one where the cards are conspicuously stacked against the strikers.
The strike has been going on now for more than two months. But thanks to the Toronto Port Authority — Porter's long-time ally in the Toronto Island airport enterprise — pickets are kept far away from passengers.
So far away, it's hard to find them at all.
Indeed, if pickets try to hand out leaflets to passengers entering the airport ferry terminal at the foot of Bathurst Street, the Port Authority has them arrested.
That's what happened to James Taylor two weeks ago. He and another unionist were charged with trespass for leafleting on the sidewalk outside the publicly owned terminal.
So strikers end up picketing in a hidden parking lot off to the side.
The Porter dispute is a telling one. The 22 striking fuel handlers are new-style workers. They are young. They are not paid much (starting wages are $12 an hour). And their employer doesn't expect them to stay long.
The longest-serving Porter fuel handler says he has been with the company five years. Most stay one or two years and then move on.
Even more telling is the fact that, in this fight, labour is on both sides of the dispute.
On Sunday, delegates from a Canadian Labour Congress convention marched with the strikers to demonstrate union solidarity.
But at the same time, one of the key investors in privately-held Porter Aviation Holdings Inc. is the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS), the pension fund for unionized public sector workers.
When I finally caught up with strikers Monday, they weren't picketing Porter at all. Instead, most had set up their signs outside OMERS headquarters on University Ave., where they were trying, with varying degrees of success, to embarrass their union comrades.
Representatives of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union and the Canadian Autoworkers all sit on the OMERS board.
What's even weirder is that OMERS handles the pension funds of 1,189 members of the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union, which represents Porter fuel handlers.
'So at one level, the Porter workers are on strike against their own union.'
Location:Barrie, ont.
A few years ago, a group of unionized workers that handle the building maintenance for the international headquarters of the I.A.M.A.W. went on strike because the I.A.M. wouldn't negotiate a contract with them. Big union = Big business.

I tried many different things for DataSourceName including the domain name in aws console  or copy pasting the code from other auto generated stacks,... unfortunately none of them work .
How can I find DataSourceName value?

A: Seems, there is a typo in their documentation and it should be :
"DataSourceName": "ElasticSearchDomain",

not :
"DataSourceName": "ElasticsearchDomain",

now it's working fine.. so many hours wasted on such a simple typo.

Carrying on the Tradition
02.08.2008 18.10.2019 Dominic Rivard Uncategorized
The day Victor Chrapko died when his semitrailer truck was in a collision with a vehicle that hit his fuel tanks could have spelled the end for what could become a promising Alberta industry.
Chrapko, 65, was laid to rest in February in a coffin made by Hutterites using trees that lined the driveway to the Chrapko farmhouse.
Family and friends later enjoyed Chrapko's organic fruit wine following a celebration of life service, and like people throughout Alberta, they loved it.
"Our father was an out-of-the-box thinker and had the provincial wine laws changed to allow farmers to make fruit wine," says daughter Tonia Chrapko.
"It took four years to accomplish, but two years ago, he began production."
The wine has been well received and some local wine stores and restaurants are carrying the wine.
I usually dismiss fruit wine, but when I heard the Fairmont Banff Spring Hotel and discerning deVine's liquor store were carrying it, I became interested.
"I loved the wines the first time I tried them," said Dean Miller of the Sherbrooke Liquor Store, a funky little store at 11819 St. Albert Trail.
"We were the first to carry them locally, and we bring in all seven of their wines. We find they far outsell any other kind of fruit wine we carry."
The wines are now on the shelves of half-a-dozen Edmonton stores and in communities throughout Alberta.
But it could have been the end of the story because Chrapko and his wife Elizabeth were an industrious duo at their nine-acre organically certified orchard at Brosseau, set between Two Hills and St. Paul, a 90-minute drive from Edmonton.
When Chrapko was lost, he took with him the skills that had made the wine so special. But there are two things working for the family.
"One is that our whole family has become involved in making sure the wine business is a success," says Tonia, a former French immersion teacher and now a self-employed educator and professional speaker.
"Secondly, we have another vintage in reserve while we study just how my father was able to make such great wine."
Tonia's sister Xina, a Calgary nurse, commutes home on weekends and has been able to find many festivals at which to showcase their en Santé wines.
Brothers Evan and Shane work in renewable energy and are helping in production and sales.
"Our father for 10 years made wine in his basement as a hobby and then created Alberta's first certified organic orchard," says Tonia.
"He believed organic fruit wine could be grown throughout Alberta, and it was a good example of adding value to a product."
Chrapko sought MLA Ray Danyluk's help in changing the law to allow cottage wineries to make small amounts of wine when they didn't know whether a large volume would sell.
Chrapko was nominated to the Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame in 2007 and the same year his winery won the AgChoices Best Practice Renewal Award, a joint federal and provincial initiative.
"Our father always stressed leaving the world a better place," said Tonia. "He did, and we would like to as well."
A skeptical unbeliever initially, I enjoyed sipping the wines and was amazed that most were 13-per-cent alcohol or higher. They are tasty and are sure to find a following. Wine notes follow, with the old ALCB sweetness scale in brackets, No. 1 being dry.
Campfire Wild Cherry, 2006, $21.99. (1) Made from several varieties of wild, organic cherries. Pair with everything grilled, vegetables to meat.
Adam's Apple, 2006, $21.99. (2) Made from 15 varieties of apples. Crisp and clean, a good match for pork, chicken and lean beef.
Raspberry Delight, 2007, $21.99. (4) A fresh, clean wine that makes a great sipper. Try with salads.
Raspberry Passion, 2006, 375 ml, $33.50. (4) A rosé desert wine, perfect with cream-based pies and desserts.
Saucy Saskatoon, 2007, $21.99. (4) Wild Saskatoons, a lovely aperitif or serve with all meats, chicken to lamb.
Calypso Rhubarb, 2006, $21.99. (6) Excellent with berry-based desserts. But also with delicate meats and casseroles.
Green Envy Alfalfa, 2007, $21.99. (6) Proving farmer Chrapko lived outside the box, the only hay and greenery aroma in the world. Good body.
Mellow Gold Honey, 2006, $21.99. (10) Made from honey drawn from the winery's own hives. The smell and taste of wild flowers and clover. Pair with chocolate or ice cream dishes.

The Principles of Elderberry Fruit Wine Making
Chokecherry Wine Time!


On the second day of competition at the Golden Lanes Invitational in Amiens, France Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden posted not one, but two world's number one ranked time. Yesterday in the the 100 butterfly Sjostrom recorded a time of 56.53 to take over the number one position in the world and then went on to out do herself today by posting the world's top times in the 50 butterfly and 200 freestyle.
Sjostrom won the women's 50 butterfly in a time of 25.53 knocking World Champion Jeanette Ottesen of Denmark, who posted a 25.62, off of the top spot in the world rankings. Sjostrom also beat her previous lifetime best of 25.64 that she had recorded in 2012.
In her second event of the evening Sjostrom won the women's 200 freestyle in a time of 1:55.50. Her time betters her season's best of 1:55.76, which stood as the world's number one ranked time when the day began. Her time is just off her lifetime best of 1:55.23, which she posted in 2012.
Sjostrom was not the only women to have a stellar 200 freestyle, the next three competitors also recorded times that rank in the world's top ten. Femke Heemskerk of the Netherland posted a 1:57.08 which ranks third, Michelle Coleman of Sweden hit the wall in a time of 1:57.67 which ranks eighth while Camille Muffat of France finished just outside of the medals recording a time of 1:57.87 which ranks 10th.
Melanie Henique of France also put up a world's top ten time, finishing second in a time of 26.32, which puts her in the sixth spot in the world rankings.
Katinka Hosszu has also had a busy day. Less then a half an hour after winning the women's 1500 freestyle, Hosszu proceeded to take the women's 100 backstroke in a time of 59.98, which currently ranks second in the world. The only athlete to swim faster than Hosszu this year is Australian Emily Seebohm who recorded a time of 59.80 at the New South Whales Championships earlier this month.
The time for Hosszu is only 58 one-hundredths of a second off her lifetime best and Hungarian national record of 59.40 that she posted in the prelims of the World Championships last summer. In Barcelona her time had put her second to American Missy Franklin going into the semi-finals in Barcelona, but she made the decision to scratch the event as the women's 200 IM final was swum later that evening, an event that she would go on to win.
Michelle Coleman of Sweden finished second to Hosszu in a time of 1:00.58. It was a great swim for Coleman who posted a time that currently ranks her eighth in the world, taking over that spot from Canadian Kevyn Peterson who had recorded a 1:00.63 earlier this year.
Hosszu also went on to win the women's 400 IM posting a time of 4:39.82. She was followed by Hungarian teammate Evelyn Verraszto who finished second in a time of 4:43.60.
Hosszu won the 1500 freestyle in a time of 16:51.06.
David Verraszto of Hungary won the men's 400 IM in a time of 4:17.45, which ranks in the world's top 10, but does not beat his season's best of 4:16.03, which currently ranks fourth.
Frenchman Jeremy Stravius collected his third and fourth gold of the competition winning the men's 100 backstroke in a time of 54.46 and the men's 50 butterfly in a time of 24.24. For Stravius both times were season's best, but rank outside of the world's top 10.
The Swedes took both the women's and men's 200 breaststroke. Jessica Eriksson won the women's event in a time of 2:33.61 while Erik Persson won the men's event in a time of 2:14.52.
Frenchmen Joris Bouchaut and Axel Reymond battled for the victory in the men's 800 freestyle. Bouchaut eventually took the event in a time of 8:06.68 followed by Reymond who posted a 8:06.74.
Kyle Stolk of the Netherlands took the men's 200 freestyle in a time of 1:50.22.
pretty impressive 200 women's results! that event was loaded.
Sjoestroem was 56.53 in the 100m 'Fly yesterday, not 57.42. Surely she will take back the World Record in the next couple of years? Vollmer's time is looking very much within range of Sjoestroem, this year possibly.
I don't doubt that sjoestrom has the talent to break vollmer's 100 fly WR sometime in the future.
But we must temper our enthusiasm. Sjoestrom has always swum extremely fast in season. Her previous 100 free pb of 53:05 was swum in December 2011. She swam a 53.28 in march 2012, which she could not replicate in the Olympics. Her 200 free pb of 1:55.23 was also swum in march 2012.
I am stunned by Hosszu, I know I should have gotten used to it, but her swimming all those events in one day, all in great times, leave me speechless.
If only Dana Vollmer didn't have a bad touch in London.
She could have swum 55.50 in my opinion.
Some big names in Amiens.
After Nice, it's cool to see world-class swimmers come in France.
A little better for Muffat.
Sjöström as fast as usual in-season. Even though, she swims impressive times.
An average Stravius. He keeps the best for the French championships next month. He works really hard butterfly in training since Barcelona.
Winning 1500, and then winning 100 back in sub 1:00 and then proceeded to take 400 IM in 4:39.
I am convinced now that she is a robot swimmer.

'Bone Cement': A Non Option for Painful Joints? Speaking News	.
THURSDAY, Jan. 11, 2018 (HealthDay News) — Injecting a calcium-based cement into the bones of some people with knee or hip pain could help them avoid joint replacement surgery, Ohio State University doctors say.
The calcium phosphate cement flows into the spongy inside portion of the bone, filling in microfractures and other damaged areas, and it hardens in about 10 minutes' time, said Dr. Kelton Vasileff, an orthopedic surgeon at the university's Wexner Medical Center.
The cement braces the bruised or injured joint bone from the inside, Vasileff explained, and eventually is replaced by new bone as part of the body's natural healing process.
The procedure, called subchondroplasty, has been available to people with knee problems for years, Vasileff said. Now he and his colleagues are testing to see whether hip patients also can benefit from it.
It is much less invasive than a knee or hip replacement, and typically is performed on an outpatient basis, Vasileff said.
The procedure involves a smaller incision than joint replacement surgery, so there's less risk of infection, and a quicker recovery time that means fewer of the side effects associated with being bedridden, Vasileff said.
However, subchondroplasty is only feasible in a narrow range of patients. Those with full-blown bone-on-bone arthritis or joint pain caused by damage to the cartilage and ligaments will get little to no relief from the procedure, Vasileff said.
Software engineer Ben Wallace underwent subchondroplasty in November to help shore up a damaged hip.
"The end of September I noticed I was really struggling to move around my left leg very well," said Wallace, who lives in Columbus, Ohio. Imaging scans revealed a hip in very bad shape, with a misshapen femur.
A five-hour surgery cleaned up the femur and bolstered the bone with cement.
"It's been going really great. I'm better than what they expected. One week after surgery I was off the crutches, walking on my own," Wallace said.
Subchondroplasty has shown solid potential, but orthopedic surgeon Dr. Matthew Hepinstall is concerned that it might be "oversold" to desperate patients who want to avoid joint replacement surgery.
"The claims that are being made are not evidence-based yet, although they are intellectually appealing," said Hepinstall. He is associate director of the Center for Joint Preservation & Reconstruction at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York City.
"It's just important not to oversell this," he added.
The best candidates for the procedure are patients who still have some cartilage protecting their joint, but have somehow "overloaded" and injured the bone, causing swelling and pain, Hepinstall said.
"If you inject this substance into the bone, you're basically providing internal support, a scaffold protecting the bone. That can theoretically reduce bone pain," Hepinstall noted.
"The appealing thing about it is instead of going in and resurfacing a damaged joint, you're injecting something to help the bone, but keeping the patient's own anatomy," Hepinstall continued.
"But there's a very narrow window of patients who are good ideal candidates for this, who basically have a real overload of their bone causing severe enough pain to warrant a surgical procedure, but also have healthy enough cartilage that doing something about the bone swelling is going to alleviate the majority of their pain," he stressed.

Savaari Movie Trailer Launch
Actors Sudheer Babu and Sree Vishnu attended the trailer launch event of Nandu's 'Savaari', held at Prasad Preview theater in Hyderabad. Saahith Motkuri is the director of this movie, produced by Santosh Mothkuri and Nishanth Reddy Kudithi. This movie will release on 7th February.
Sree Vishnu said, "I liked one of the songs from the movie so much that I kept listening to it non stop for 15 days. I liked the other songs, teaser and trailer as well. Nandu's hard work for this movie will definitely bear fruit. I hope everyone will like the movie. I will watch the movie on 7th February. I wish this genuine attempt will be successful".
Sudheer Babu said, "Nandu played a role in 'Sammohanam'. I wanted some other actor to play that role but Indraganati garu only wanted Nandu. He did well in that role. Both of us entered the industry at the same time. Nandu is a passionate actor, who surrenders for the role. This film's director Saahith narrated a story to me a while ago. Though I don't remember him much, I remember his story. I couldn't do that movie though I liked the story. I'm sure Saahith will become a big director in the future. I liked the teaser, songs and the trailer very much".
Nandu said, "This movie started creating buzz since the release of the first poster and the teaser has got many views. 'Nee Kannulu' song has got a super response. It has gone viral on the social media. I did many movies for money. I got a good experience as an actor doing those movies. I did good roles in films like '100% Love', 'Pellichoopulu', 'Jaya Janaki Nayaka' and 'Sammohanam'. I wanted to be a part of a good film again after doing 'Sammohanam'. So I took a gap for a year and did 'Savaari'. Saahith directed the movie very well. We celebrated after watching the first copy. Producers, who are in U.S., are promoting the film well there. It's a great thing that the film is going to have good premieres. I want to do only good films henceforth"
Saahith Mothkuri said, "My brother and friend are producing this movie. Every actor did well. We've put in a lot of effort for this movie. Two songs from this movie have clocked more than 10 million views together and it is a great thing for us"
Actors Siva, Maddy, Jeevan, Srikanth Reddy, Balvinder, lyricist Poornachari, singer Karimullah, editor Santosh Menam were among others who attended the event.

Q: Setup.exe called from a batch file crashes with error 0x0000006 We're going to be installing some new software on pretty much all of our computers and I'm trying to setup a GPO to do it. We're running a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller and all of our machines are Windows 7.
The GPO calls the following script which sits on a network share on our file server. The script it self calls an executable that sits on another network share on another server. The executable will imediatelly crash with an error 0x0000006. The event log just says this: Windows cannot access the file  for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Setup.exe because of this error.
Here's the script (which is stored on \\WIN2K8R2-F-01\Remote Applications):
@ECHO OFF

IF DEFINED ProgramFiles(x86) (
    ECHO DEBUG: 64-bit platform

    SET _path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Canam"
) ELSE (
    ECHO DEBUG: 32-bit platform

    SET _path="C:\Program Files\Canam"
)

IF NOT EXIST %_path% (
    ECHO DEBUG: Folder does not exist

    PUSHD \\WIN2K8R2-PSA-01\PSA Data\Client

    START "" "Setup.exe" "/q"

    POPD
) ELSE (
    ECHO DEBUG: Folder exists
)

Running the script manually as administrator also results in the same error. Setting up a shortcut with the same target and parameters works perfectly. Manually calling the executable also works.
Not sure if it matters, but the installer is based on dotNETInstaller. I don't know what version though.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on fixing this. Thanks in advance!
UPDATE
I highly doubt this matters, but the network share that the script is hosted in is a shared drive, while the network share the script references for the executable is a shared folder.
Also, both shares have Domain Computers listed with full access for the sharing and security tabs. And PUSHD works without wrapping the path in quotes.
UPDATE 2
If I manually open CMD on the client machine and enter PUSHD "\\WIN2K8R2-PSA-01\PSA Data\Client" I get the directory mounted as a drive properly. If I then enter START "" "Setup.exe" "/q" the installer kicks in exactly as it should and it actually installs the application.
UPDATE 3
While doing some debugging through ECHO statements, I started outputting TXT files to the C:\ drive on the client machine. After I called PUSHD I ECHOed %CD% to see what the current directory was. It ended up outputting C:\Windows not {?}:\Client like it should if it succesfully mounted the remote directory.
I think it has something to do with the messages I get at the very top of the screen that UNC paths are not supported, blah blah blah, even though the rest of the script actually executes.
Still looking for suggestions on getting this to work.

A: Sounds like a permission issue. If you're doing this in a startup script it will run as SYSTEM. You'll need to give Domain Computers read access to where the files are stored.

A: Put quotes around the share path. You've got a space in the share name and I'm assuming that's what's causing the problem.

A: Suggestions that might help you.
1)
You can use sysinternal's psexec to open a cmd window as SYSTEM for debugging
"psexec \127.0.0.1 /s cmd"
From there you can walk through the script "line by line" to see where it fails
2)
You can modify the script so it runs in the current dir with the "%~dp0" prefix
Have you tried skipping the START command?

PUSHD \WIN2K8R2-PSA-01\PSA Data\Client
%~dp0Setup.exe" "/q"

A: The problem is that you popd out before the setup finishes. This is because cmd starts the setup and immedeately goes on with the popd command.
Use start "" Setup.exe /wait /q

you can also use the UNC path. Maybe you need quotes.
start "Setup title" "\\server\share\folder\setup.exe" /q


This year's guest speaker was Jerry Mendell, MD, director of the Center for Gene Therapy and Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Cooperative Research Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Dr. Mendell has received multiple awards for his contributions to the field of neuromuscular diseases with an emphasis on muscular dystrophy. He was the first person to do gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystophy, is internationally recognized, has published more than 300 peer reviewed papers, and has authored two books.
During his remarks, he updated the audience on some advances in clinic gene therapy trials and newborn screening studies.
A New York Times article, "Drug Shows Promise in Treating A Type of Muscular Dystrophy in Boys" recaps promising outcomes from one of Dr. Mendell's recent clinic trials.
Prior to the keynote speech from Dr. Mendell, more than 40 post-doctorate, doctorate, graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Minnesota presented their research ranging from how muscles work and are developed as well as understanding different methods to treat muscular dystrophy.
Funds from the Greg Marzolf Jr. Foundation established, and continue to support, the Gregory Marzolf Jr. Training Program at the MD Center. This year, the Greg Marzolf Jr. Foundation has awarded $50,000 to the Gregory Marzolf Jr. Training Program, thanks to the support of our generous donors.
The following researchers and students were recognized as the 2012 Marzolf Awardees.
Project Description: Heart disease is a leading cause of death in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a uniformly fatal disease characterized by severe skeletal muscle injury and cardiomyopathy, resulting from mutations within the dystrophin gene. The clinical importance of the heart requires that dystrophin's function in the myocardium be a central focus in the development of effective therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Dystrophin connects the internal cytoskeleton to the membrane and functions as a mechanical buffer, protecting the membrane from the forces of contraction. Dystrophin also serves as a scaffold, coordinating the positions of many proteins. This laboratory explores the physiology of animal models of muscular dystrophy. Through assessment of respiratory, vascular, and cardiac function we hope to uncover the central mechanisms of dystrophic cardiomyopathy. Only by understanding these fundamental mechanisms of disease, will they be able to develop effective therapies.

Companies that convert their hardcopy documents to a digital format are able to reduce overhead storage costs, find the right information at the right time, and better protect business data.
Purchasing expensive equipment and charging your administrative staff with your company's scanning projects is expensive and risky. Without the right expertise, critical data can be lost or compromised during the document imaging process. And in-house scanning projects can drag out for several months, taking valuable time away from revenue-generating activities.
Each year, an untold of paper waste occurs in the UK, taking a devastating toll on the global environment. Document imaging not only reduces your overhead and administrative costs and enhances productivity but also reduces your business' reliance on paper. Once files are converted to an electronic format they can be shared an unlimited number of times without having to print out multiple copies, thus contributing to a healthier planet!

2010 MSU President's Report: What is the origin of the cosmos?
Michigan State University Distinguished Professor of chemistry David Morrissey explains how he and a team of researchers are developing an electromagnetic "mousetrap" that will snag and quickly extract rare isotopes from high-speed particle collisions that can then be studied. Their findings will explain the fundamentals of how our planet and universe work—and just may reveal the secrets of the Big Bang.
What is the law of the land? Many Americans are under the impression that it is the US Constitution, distorted by time perhaps and the plain meaning changed by bad (or good, depending on your point of view) amendment, court decision, or indifference. This is a complete myth. The actual law of the land is contained in the US Code published every six years by the Government Printing Office.

Meet the Fourth Generation of the Germack Family
John and Frank, Sr. probably did not know that their earliest efforts would survive through many decades and multiple generations. What started as a local business soon expanded into new markets. More imported foods were added, giving customers more reasons to turn to Germack for a taste of their homeland.
After completing a tour of duty in Korea and obtaining a Law Degree at the University of Detroit, Frank, Jr. joined his father Frank Sr., as part of the business. The younger Germack expanded the company's offerings by bringing on seeds and nuts that could be processed and shipped within a matter of days. They would sometimes arrive at their destination still warm from the roaster. He utilized the company's buying power to provide customers the freshest and highest grade products possible.
Passing the Torch to the Next Generation
The Germack name has remained in business thanks to the innovation, commitment, and hard work of three generations. Today, the company is guided by the family's fourth generation. Frank Germack III and Suzanne Germack Fredrickson are proud co-owners of this thriving food empire. They have expanded to include dried fruits, chocolate covered nuts, Christmas items, and more.
The company has partnered with professional sports teams in Detroit to supply nuts for the Red Wings, Pistons, Lions and Tigers. When you buy peanuts at a home game, you're tasting the quality and flavor of the timeless Germack brand. A retail store is also open in the historic Eastern Market in Detroit. Stop by or visit the official website to learn more about Germack coffee, nuts, and more.

Milad & Nuria's Family Home
Tina's Family Home
Stud-A-Thon
Faith Build
Milad and Nuria's strong faith has carried them through many struggles, some of which include keeping their family safe as conflicts were arising in Egypt, immigrating to the United States to freely practice their Christianity, finding their church (Tree of Life) and the beginning of their journey to their Habitat home where they look forward to raising their children in a welcoming and violence-free environment.
Milad Yassa, originally from Egypt, left his life of being a lawyer and working in a 5 star hotel in Cairo for a new life in the United States with one bag in his hand and $1,000 in his pocket.
Milad's journey to the U.S. began after filling out an American Immigration Visa application in March of 2007. Eight months later he met his wife Nuria.
"Nuria encouraged me to finish all the process (of the visa application) to have the change to travel abroad and have freedom like her," Milad said.
Milad received the news that his visa application had been approved at the same time that he married Nuria. With his new American Immigration Visa, Milad traveled to the U.S. on September 13th, 2009.
"My start was with one bag and $1,000 in my pocket. After a week I had $400," said Milad.
Milad needed his social security number to obtain a job in the U.S.
"I prayed to God asking for help because I (had) almost run out of the money… On September 23rd I started my first job as a meat cutter in New York City with no paperwork. They didn't pay me until I got my green card and (social security) number."
Milad received his first paycheck on October 15th – the same day that he ran out of the money he had arrived with to the U.S.
"God is good. Always beside us," said Milad.
It was at this time that Nuria didn't have a permanent resident card and could not stay in the U.S. with Milad for more than 90 days at a time. For that reason, Milad and Nuria's first son, Lucas, was born in Nuria's home country of Spain.
"One of my friends called me offering me an opportunity of work in Canyon Lake as a housekeeping supervisor," Milad said, "I moved to New Braunfels and Nuria (moved) to Barcelona because she wasn't allowed to deliver Lucas in the States."
Milad did not meet his son until they had him baptized in Cairo three months later.
"My wife and I always wanted to be together as a normal family but because of the immigration law she had to travel every 90 days... it was very hard for my wife Nuria and I to spend only maximum 90 days as a normal family."
In 2010, Milad started work at Olive Garden in addition to his other job. It was four years until Nuria and Lucas were able to obtain their green cards. Throughout those four years, Milad worked in three or four different places and volunteered at the Tree of Life church in New Braunfels to escape the loneliness of missing his wife and son.
"We thought many times to go back to Egypt, but it isn't easy for a Christian family, especially with foreign members, to live safe there because of the Muslim faith. We asked God to show us His will in our life… when the protest(s) started in Egypt in 2011 and Muslim Brotherhood ran the country it was a sign from God to continue in the U.S.A.," Milad said.
"We welcomed our son Jacob on October 28th, 2014. After my son (was) born and Nuria started with health problems, I kept only one job because I wanted to enjoy my family… I think that a man (who) is not spending time with his family is not a good man," Milad said.
Milad and Nuria were volunteering at the Tree of Life Church when someone told them about the Habitat Homebuyer program. They filed an application, and as of April 2015, were selected to partner with Comal County Habitat for Humanity to buy their home.
"Nuria… cried because for her (that) means that our kids will never (be) scared about their faith to be Christian," Milad said. "She always thanks God… our kids will grow in a (safe) country and never (be) worried because they are Christian. Lucas and Jacob are sharing a room (now). Soon each one will have his own room."
You can help build this family's future home by donating or signing up to volunteer! Call (830) 625-4025 or email volunteer@comalhabitat.org for more information.

Why Should You Invest in A Camping Pillow?
Experienced travelers usually advise bringing a special pillow used for picnic and camping outdoor. A good pillow means providing good sleep and helping to rehab your energy for the next adventure. In this article, you will have an insight about how to choose the best backpacking pillow from helpful reviews of the outstanding pillows for travel.
Pillow is essential to ensure deep sleep in addition to a good camping tent. If you do not normally use a pillow when sleeping, your head will be positioned lower than the heart when lying down, so blood will flow to your head much more than normal. That's why you may find it difficult to have a deep sleep. Also, when sleeping, many people have the habit of lying on the side so if there is no pillow under the head, the head will be laid aside, which may cause pain and inflexibility to the neck.
However, when traveling, a normal pillow occupies a rather large space on the backpack, so many manufacturers have introduced some types of the pillow which are designed especially for traveling. A camping pillow has the same function with a normal pillow, but it's foldable so you can carry it anywhere you want. That is why a backpacking pillow is an indispensable item for the travel or picnic.
First, let's take a look at three typical kinds of backpacking pillows to determine what the best is for you.
– Inflatable Pillows: are all filled with air to make them lighter and firmer than the two other camping pillows below. Inflatable pillows are foldable, so they take the least space in your backpack. And you only need to blow air into the pillows to inflate or deflate by a valve, and they are ready to use. Although inflatable pillow is the most economic camping pillow, this traveling pillow offers the least comfort and much more noise when moving in your sleep.
– Compressible Pillows: are filled with down feathers which are the softest and the most lightweight. The pillows are flat to ensure little-occupied space on your backpack. When you want to use the pillow, you need to pump it up and enjoy your sleep like at home. Thanks to soft fabric, most people agree that they find more comfort when using compressible pillows than the inflatable kind.
– Hybrid Pillows is the combination of two types of pillow above. The top is like a compressible pillow which ensures the comfort to users while the inflatable bottom reduces the space needed to carry around.
To offer the comfort in use, a camping pillow has to meet the need of users in size, shape, material to ensure the best experience and deep sleep. More importantly, the best backpacking needs to make users feel like they are sleeping at home; means they should be common with normal pillows. The pillow should have nice surface fabric so that you may feel the smooth on your face. Moreover, the pillows must be firm enough to support your head and neck but at the same time not too firm to have neck pain when you awake. Regarding comfort, the compressible pillows may have more advantages than the other kinds.
The camping pillows will be carried around and should take the smallest space as well as the most lightweight. The inflatable pillows, for sure, are much lighter than the other pillows due to air takes most of the space inside the pillows.
The camping pillows should be easy to use and don't take too much time to prepare. The easiest to use pillow is for sure the compressible pillows which are ready for use. Or at least, you should choose the type of pillows that don't require too much time to pump to inflate. Moreover, the material of the pillows should be easy to clean and dry so that they are ready for different trips.
The greater the size and shape, the less-suited a camping pillow is for long day trips. The pillows should be small with easy to folder shape to put into the backpack. While at the same time, the too small pillow may make it more uncomfortable when sleeping. Thus, you need to consider the suitable size of your camping pillows carefully.
Many of us may be sided-sleeper or have to roll a lot on sleeping. The supportive pillows will ensure proper move of both head and neck to avoid pain or tiresome after you awake.
Reviews can say a lot about the quality of a camping pillow. Based on the sharing of other users, you will have better judgment about both the pros and cons of the product instead of a flattering advertisement. You should read reviews from reliable websites and make a comparison before decide to buy a backpacking pillow.
No matter what material of a pillow, to ensure good sleep, the inside of the pillow needs to be filled so that your head position will be stable.
The fabrics on the top of the pillows need to be soft like normal sleeping pillows. This is the essential criteria to ensure the best sleep. Also, fabrics should be easy to clean and dry out for the next use.
Image source: Hike It. Like It.
Durability is another important factor that should be taken into careful consideration. A backpacking pillow needs to adapt to hash weather and outdoor condition. Materials, fabric, brand reliability and warranty service will determine the lifetime of a camping pillow.
As for inflatable pillows, you need to pump the air into the pillows through a valve when you want to use so that you will control the flat of the pillows. Despite being lightweight and portable, this type of pillow takes the time to prepare and fold up. Choosing the inflatable or self-inflating pillows depends on your habit and preference.
This is importance factor to check with compressible pillows. The compressibility will ensure the quality and comfort of the pillows.
Made of upcycled mattress scraps, Therm-a-Rest is thick and super soft to ensure decent support for sleepers. Its size is also suitable for anyone who has the habit of turning while in the sleep. It compresses slowly after laying your head; and just after couple minutes, you will want to let out audible "Ahhh" after a long day with many activities. However, this 2.6 liters volume and also 8.6 ounces weight may be not for multi-day trips or taking some outdoor sports activities like hiking or jogging. Thus if you want to find a great value pillow which helps you to have the best sleep while in the short term or car trips, Therm-a-Rest is just for you.
Onwego inflatable air pillow is another great pillow for camping outside. The cover fabric is soft and smooth thanks to plush foam. Combined with the contoured center, Onwego offers the incredible support for your neck and head. This pillow can inflate itself up to haft of the firmness, other than that; you can control the fill by blowing into the valve. It's lightweight with only 10.6 ounces, and deflated pillow takes to 6 inches in your backpack. You can rest assure to bring Onwego on long journey or sports activities.
Have you ever tried self-inflating pillow which can change their size and fill based on your movement? If not, Teton sports comfort like a self-inflating pillow is your must-buy item. When you roll in your sleep or pack the pillow, it can come down from full size of 18x10x4 inches to 13x3x3 inches. Or you can adjust the firmness by twisting the valve.
Stretch microfiber on the top of the pillow makes it soft and smooth. Moreover, the non-slip bottom will ensure you feel comfortable when rolling or sleep on your side.
There are many options to define the best backpacking pillow, like the convenient, comfort in use, packed size and also what type of journey you are taking. In this article, we have pointed out the three best in the market right now. Hopefully, you will always find the best dream and enjoyment while on the long journey thanks to the camping pillows.


My House of Giggles: A Party in the Jungle!
A Party in the Jungle!
Yes....it's party time again in our house!
And, like I've said before, I'm in wayyy too deep with the parties to turn back now. Finny is literally planning for next year's party already. Oh my. What have I created?? Party animals?! hehe...pun intended!
Well, this time around, Finny really badly wanted a "Juuuungle Pawty", so jungle party it was :). I actually had a lot of fun getting ready for this one! It's super easy to find jungle "stuff" because it's a fairly common theme. If you have lots of cash to spend, then there are some amazing realistic life sized jungle animal props (no...I didn't splurge on those, but stuck to the super cheap "stick on the wall cartoon" variety). I mostly used green plastic table cloths, poster board leaves (that I cut out) and tissue paper. I twisted/glued some craft paper "vines" and hot-glued poster board leaves to them. I ordered a cheap plastic jungle mural from amazon and, as cheesy as it was, it really transformed the room. Add a few random sprigs of greenery/plants and it was a jungle in here! Seriously. It really feels very jungle-like.
I found some cute balloon animals that we filled up with helium and the kids walked them around on leashes :) It was so cute seeing them each go home with a big animal under their arm :).
I had a lot of fun making/decorating the cake! I used a Wilton grass tip to make the fuzzy looking grass, as well as some fondant leaves and vines. I just added some of Finn's plastic animals for an easy topper. I used the Kinnikinnicks Gluten free cake mix (substituted milk instead of the water and added a squirt of mayonnaise to make it extra moist). This was my first time using this mix, and it was excellent! It doesn't even taste/feel like a gluten free cake! I used both the white and chocolate mixes, and followed this tutorial to make "zebra" stripes inside the cake :). Ok...so it didn't turn out super clear and very zebra-like, but it was yummy none the less!
The food was really simple and I tried to keep it all in individual portions since it's cold/flu season and I figured it might keep any germs from spreading :).
The invitation was made using PicMonkey and I just glued it to some card stock, then added a couple of moveable leaves over top (not in the picture).
Our sweet little Finny boy! I can't believe he's 4 already. It really seems like no time since we were having this party when he turned one!
He's my snuggly, loving, wonderful little man....so full of love and hugs :) And he tells me that he loves me at least 10 times every day. Love this little guy so much!
All that party planning/decorating was worth it to see how excited he was with his very own jungle!
Wow, that is one amazing party and the cake is very very cool! You are so talented to pull off these parties. I better not show Claire or she will try asking for something as creative!
Wow, you always create the most amazing parties! Looks like it was fun!
oh my goodness...what an amazing party! Lucky guests!
Great family pictures, such beautiful boys!
seriously, how do you do it!? This looks so neat and I bet the kids were in heaven!

Home Run Series: Ernie Graham
It takes courage to be honest, to admit to one's mistakes, and to learn from them. It takes even more courage to talk about these mistakes openly so that others may learn to avoid them.
And that is what we appreciate about Ernie Graham. A Baltimore native, Graham set the single game scoring record at the University of Maryland in 1978 with 44 points in 25 minutes of play. He was named ACC 1st and 2nd team all-tournament in two consecutive years. During his reign, he won an ACC regular season title and played in the NCAA Tournament three of his four years. Graham was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers, but opted to play 13 years of international basketball.
Drugs cut short Graham's basketball career, but they didn't stop him. He turned his life around and currently devotes his time and energy touring the Baltimore school system encouraging youth to be drug free. But since he can't visit every school in the country, he is sharing his story here so that as many young people as possible can learn to make more productive choices:
How do you discuss tough topics, like avoiding drugs, with your kids?
