Last week I didn't write in my blog at all. I meant to – I just didn't. I'm a bit disappointed with myself. You see, I was doing my best to commit to writing two posts a week, and for the first time since I began this blog earlier in the year, I didn't. I did get a bit busier than I normally do, but if I prioritised properly, I could have managed to post something. I've written about motivation and prioritisation before – I know I could have done it, so I won't use any excuses.
Sometimes I don't have good weeks. I was optimistic finishing university, and so the reality I'm currently living in can get me down. I'm not where I thought I would be, no matter how hard I try, and it can get tiring trying to keep my spirits up.
I know I shouldn't listen to these thoughts, but sometimes I do and so I slip up a bit. I lose motivation and I don't get anything done – including writing in this blog for a week. Even today, I'm struggling with this lack of motivation, but I'm proud that I managed to get something done today.
Do you have bad weeks where you get nothing done?
Have you ever made a blog schedule?
If you did have a blog schedule and you didn't stick to it, were you disappointed?
Do you struggle to remain optimistic?
How do you keep motivated and on task?
Thanks for your comment. I definitely agree!
I too have have had bad weeks and didn't blog. However I listened to some Podcast which got me motivated and moving again. I try to make a blog schedule, however I never follow it to be honest. Sometimes I get ideas and just write it down to create a list so I will never run out of content. As far as struggling to remain optimistic, sure we all do. However I try to keep moving and listen and read things that are inspiring me to keep going.
Yes – we all struggle from time to time, but I'm guilty of forgetting that other people have the same difficulties! Out of curiosity, what motivational podcast do you listen to?
Side Hustle Pro and Eff the Cubicle are the podcast I listen to the most.
Don't beat yourself up! Everyone have weeks like this. I don't keep a blogging schedule and publish content when I can which is still fairly regularly!
Thank you for your comment – I'll try to refrain from beating myself up from now on, haha. I personally like to keep a schedule because I don't think I would post anything otherwise – though that clearly hasn't worked out as well as I'd hoped! I do recognise the different things work for different people, and sometimes they even stop working from time to time – and it's okay if this happens!
Finding time to work on longer posts (or those that require extra work like a video) has been tricky. It's frustrating to have the material but not the large chunk of time to be able to do the post justice.. I've started doing those longer posts bit by bit and giving myself a longer timeline (1 week).
I think that's a great way to approach longer posts. We do need to be realistic about how much time we have to write and to adjust our plans accordingly.
Yes – sometimes we do need to give ourselves a break and not feel guilty over it. We all drop the ball from time to time, after all. I'm not completely at the "back to business" phase, as you put it, but I'm slowly getting there again.
Thank you! This is so encouraging to me to know that I am not alone in struggling with motivation. I am feeling rather discouraged right now to be honest. My blog is getting fewer and fewer views. I know that May is a busy month for people, but I know that I wrote good stuff this month. I will keep going, trying to get 2-3 blog posts out a week.
I'm glad I could help. We all struggle with motivation, so I think we need to work on being kinder to ourselves when this happens. Beating ourselves up isn't going to be helpful at all. Keep on writing and keep your chin up!
A friend of mine gave me great advice before I started blogging. He knew I hold myself to a pretty high standard, and so he warned me that I would have days or weeks when I couldn't or wasn't able to post the kind of work I wanted. He gave me permission to post pictures, quotes, other things I found interesting and not beat myself up. A post is a post, and it's funny, sometimes the ones I throw together because I'm in a tough spot do better than ones I've really worked on. So, accept how you are and keep moving forward!
That's pretty great advice… Sounds like you've got a great friend there.

Apple said to have plan to combine iPhone, iPad, Mac apps
By Mark Gurman
Bloomberg |
The iPad Pro (Sarah Tew / CNET)
Apple's iPhone and iPad introduced a novel way of interacting with computers: via easy-to-use applications, accessible in the highly curated App Store.
The same approach hasn't worked nearly as well on Apple's desktops and laptops. The Mac App Store is a ghost town of limited selection and rarely updated programs. Now Apple plans to change that by giving people a way to use a single set of apps that work equally well across its family of devices: iPhones, iPads and Macs.
Starting as early as next year, software developers will be able to design a single application that works with a touchscreen or mouse and trackpad depending on whether it's running on the iPhone and iPad operating system or on Mac hardware, according to people familiar with the matter.
Developers currently must design two different apps — one for iOS, the operating system of Apple's mobile devices, and one for macOS, the system that runs Macs. That's a lot more work. What's more, Apple customers have long complained that some Mac apps get short shrift. For example, while the iPhone and iPad Twitter app is regularly updated with the social network's latest features, the Mac version hasn't been refreshed recently and is widely considered substandard. With a single app for all machines, Mac, iPad and iPhone users will get new features and updates at the same time.
Apple currently plans to begin rolling out the change as part of next fall's major iOS and macOS updates, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss an internal matter. The secret project, codenamed "Marzipan," is one of the tentpole additions for next year's Apple software road map. Theoretically, the plan could be announced as early as the summer at the company's annual developers conference if the late 2018 release plan remains on track. Apple's plans are still fluid, the people said, so the implementation could change or the project could still be canceled.
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment.
Apple wouldn't be first to bring mobile and desktop apps closer together. Before it discontinued Windows software for smartphones, Microsoft pushed a technology called Universal Windows Platform that let developers create single applications that would run on all of its devices — tablets, phones, and full-fledged computers. Similarly, Google has brought the Play mobile app store to some laptops running its desktop Chrome OS, letting computer users run smartphone and tablet apps like Instagram and Snapchat.
It's unclear if Apple plans to merge the separate Mac and iOS App Stores as well, but it is notable that the version of the store running on iPhones and iPads was redesigned this year while the Mac version has not been refreshed since 2014.
Apple's apps initiative is part of a larger, longer-term push to make the underpinnings of its hardware and software more similar. Several years ago, the company began designing its own processors for iOS devices. It has started doing the same for the Mac, recently launching a T2 chip in the iMac Pro that offloads features like security and power management from the main Intel processor onto Apple-designed silicon. Much the way Apple plans to unify apps, it could also one day use the same main processor on Macs and iOS devices.
That would make it easier to create a single operating system for all Apple gadgets, something Microsoft has already done with its desktops, laptops and Surface tablets. Will Apple go there? Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook has resisted doing so, arguing that merging iOS and macOS would degrade the experience. "You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user," Cook said in 2012. Apple software chief Craig Federighi has called the blending of iOS and macOS "a compromise."
Maybe so. But Apple has a long history of insisting it would never do something — make a small iPad, say, or a big iPhone — and then doing it anyway.

A federal appeals court hearing on the state of Indiana's request to overturn a ruling that found Indiana's law banning same-sex marriage unconstitutional has been delayed.
The hearing, which had been on an expedited schedule, was set for Aug. 13.
Tuesday, however, the court canceled that date.
It is not immediately clear why the court took that action, but one possible factor is the state's request last week to have the appeal heard by all 10 of the judges on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, rather than a three-judge panel.
Having the full court hear the appeal could expedite the process that is likely to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In June, U.S. District Judge Richard Young ruled the state's law that limits marriage to one man and one woman, and that denies recognition of gay marriages conducted legally in other states, violated the constitution.
In the three-day window after Young's ruling during which same-sex marriage was legal in Indiana, hundreds of gay couples rushed to courthouses and were wed.
State officials turned to the 7th Circuit Court to appeal Young's ruling and obtained a stay that stopped the marriages, pending the outcome of the appeal.
No new date for the hearing has been set.

Basel, Boston, Berlin : Birkhäuser
Keywords: Tsunami ; Indian Ocean
Description / Table of Contents: This is the first volume of a collection of essays focusing on progress in tsunami science since the great tsunami of 26 December. A magnitude Mw 9.1 earthquake (third strongest ever instrumentally recorded) generated a global tsunami that killed about 230,000 people along the coasts of 14 countries in the Indian Ocean and propagated as far as the North Pacific and North Atlantic. Since then, various countries from around the globe contributed major funding to tsunami research and mitigation, enabling the installation of hundreds of new high-precision instruments, the development of new technology and the establishment of more modern communication systems. As a result, incredible progress has been achieved in tsunami research and operation during the ten years after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The papers presented in this first of two special volumes of Pure and Applied Geophysics reflect the state of tsunami science during this time. Eight papers are related to case studies highlighting regional hazards around the globe, while five papers record progress in tsunami warning systems. Benchmark studies that describe the accuracy of numerical models for tsunami impact, as well as a variety of inundation and generation studies, are presented by 7 additional papers.

Tsunami Science: Ten years after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami : Volume II (2016)
Description / Table of Contents: Ten years ago, on December 26, 2004, one of the world's most destructive natural disasters occurred. A magnitude Mw 9.1 earthquake (third strongest ever instrumentally recorded) generated a global tsunami that killed about 230,000 people along the coasts of 14 countries in the Indian Ocean and propagated as far as the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans. Since then, various countries from around the globe contributed major funding to tsunami research and mitigation, enabling the installation of hundreds of new high-precision instruments, the development of new technology and the establishment of more modern communication systems. As a result, incredible progress has been achieved in tsunami research and operation during the ten years after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The papers presented in this second of two special volumes of Pure and Applied Geophysics reflect the state of tsunami science during this time, including two papers devoted to global observations. Five papers provide new findings specifically in the Indian Ocean. Eight papers cover Pacific Ocean studies, focusing mainly on the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Remaining papers in the volume describe studies in the Atlantic and Mediterranean and general tsunami source studies. The volume is of interest to scientists and practitioners involved in all aspects of tsunamis from earthquake source processes to transoceanic wave propagation and coastal impacts. Postgraduate students in geophysics, oceanography and coastal engineering – as well as students in the broader geosciences, civil and environmental engineering – will also find the book to be a valuable resource, as it combines recent case studies with advances in tsunami science and natural hazards mitigation.

Tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: 2011-2012 (2015)
Rabinovich, Alexander B. ; Borrero, Jose C. ; Fritz, Hermann M.
Keywords: Tsunami ; Pacific Ocean
Description / Table of Contents: The 2011 Tohoku earthquake generated a catastrophic tsunami that killed nearly 20,000 people along the coast of Japan and caused the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The tsunami propagated throughout the Pacific Ocean and also affected many other countries, including Russia, the USA, New Zealand, French Polynesia and Chile, demonstrating once again the terrible threat that tsunami waves pose for Pacific countries and the need for basin-wide international scientific collaboration. Following a brief introduction, this volume presents 21 scientific papers, including 12 on aspects of the 2011 Tohoku event. A first group of papers provides detailed field survey results from the coasts of Japan and Russia and examines the wave dynamics on the basis of these surveys, the source mechanism of the earthquake, and the far-field impacts of the Tohoku tsunami. The second group reports on the 2012 tsunamis in El Salvador, the Philippines, off the east coast of Honshu and the landmark Haida Gwaii event off the west coast of British Columbia, Canada, while the papers in a third set discuss a number of remaining challenging questions in tsunami science and warning. The volume will be of interest to scientists and practitioners involved in all aspects of tsunamis from earthquake source processes to transoceanic wave propagation and coastal impacts. Postgraduate students in geophysics, oceanography and coastal engineering – as well as those in the broader geosciences, civil and environmental engineering – will also find the book a valuable resource, as it combines recent case studies with the latest advances in tsunami science and natural hazards mitigation.
Explicit Hilbert-space representations of atomic and molecular photoabsorption spectra - Computational studies of Stieltjes-Tchebycheff functions (1983)
Langhoff, P. W. ; Hermann, M. R.
In: Other Sources
Description: Computational methods are reported for construction of discrete and continuum Schroedinger states in atoms and molecules employing explicit Hilbert space procedures familiar from bound state studies. As theoretical development, the Schroedinger problem of interest is described, the Cauchy-Lanczos bases and orthonormal polynomials used in constructing L-squared Stieltjes-Tchebycheff (ST) approximations to the discrete and continuum states are defined, and certain properties of these functions are indicated. Advantages and limitations of the ST approach to spectral studies relative to more conventional calculations are discussed, and aspects of the approach in single-channel approximations to larger molecules are described. Procedures are indicated for construction of photoejection anisotropies and for performing coupled-channel calculations employing the ST formalism. Finally, explicit descriptive intercomparisons are made of the nature and diagnostic value of ST functions with more conventional scattering functions.

Inner Magnetosphere Imager (IMI) solar terrestrial probe class mission preliminary design study report (1994)
Hermann, M. ; Johnson, L.
In: CASI
Description: For three decades, magnetospheric field and plasma measurements have been made by diverse instruments flown on spacecraft in many different orbits, widely separated in space and time, and under various solar and magnetospheric conditions. Scientists have used this information to piece together an intricate, yet incomplete view of the magnetosphere. A simultaneous global view, using various light wavelengths and energetic neutral atoms, could reveal exciting new data and help explain complex magnetospheric processes, thus providing us with a clear picture of this region of space. The George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is responsible for defining the IMI mission which will study this region of space. NASA's Space Physics Division of the Office of Space Science placed the IMI third in its queue of Solar Terrestrial Probe missions for launch in the 1990's. A core instrument complement of three images (with the potential addition of one or more mission enhancing instruments) will fly in an elliptical, polar earth orbit with an apogee of 44,600 km and a perigee of 4,800 km. This paper will address the mission objectives, spacecraft design consideration, interim results of the MSFC concept definition study, and future plans.

Growing momentum in shelf-safe dairy
More dairies are seeking product innovation by engaging contract manufacturers with expertise in aseptic production.
Terry Pallister
KEYWORDS aseptic packaging and processing / contract manufacturing / dairy processing news
In the past year, I have heard the same question repeatedly — how can dairy brands be truly innovative?
What I was hearing at numerous industry events was a call for pushing brand boundaries. I was always pleased to join in on these discussions and offer a suggestion — innovate through contract manufacturing. Brands can quickly and effectively expand their product portfolios and deepen their relevance to consumers by partnering with a like-minded contract manufacturer.
For dairy brands, looking for a contract manufacturer, also called a co-packer, with aseptic capabilities can be particularly fruitful. As discussed here before, the North American shelf-safe dairy market holds rich potential. This momentum echoes what occurred earlier with the move to extended-shelf-life (ESL) products, through advancements in technology. The industry chatter I have heard and the inbound requests I've seen validate the opportunity that exists for large, established dairy brands, as well as fledgling companies.
Compounding this demand is the all-important Millennial consumer, and his ever-present need for more personalized dairy products: According to Mintel's Dairy 2016 Report, more than half of surveyed millennials say they drink more than five types of dairy milk. That's a lot of milk! Choosing to create a shelf-safe dairy product removes a number of logistical challenges that fresh dairy presents. Plus, the opportunity for dairies to distribute across a state, a country or even the world becomes possible with shelf-safe products.
These forces in the dairy industry have made it advantageous to be a contract manufacturer with aseptic capabilities. There are many types of co-packers for dairies to choose from. Some may specialize in dairy, while others may do a little bit of everything across the food and beverage industry. Some may have years of technical expertise in a variety of processes, while others may not have that level of experience, but instead offer to share the burden of go-to-market costs and enter more of a business partnership.
For companies faced with choosing the right co-packer to help bring their innovations to market, it is important to look at three key areas:
1. Vision and values alignment: First and foremost, a potential contract manufacturer has to be aligned with its clients' vision for its product line and values as a food and beverage brand. Ask specific questions about a contract manufacturer's business — how does it balance flexibility with cost effectiveness? How has it handled fluctuations in market supply and demand with current clients? What is its outlook on the shelf-safe food and beverage market, and how does this perspective shape its technical investments? Answers to these questions and others like them will help paint a clearer picture of a co-packer's values and vision, and how these manifest in its decision making.
2. Market expertise and certifications: Depending on what a contract manufacturer makes, it will have different industry certifications. These can be markers of a co-packer's commitment to quality. Another is its client list — does it make products for well-established consumer packaged goods companies?
Along with a client list, companies can also examine co-packers' market expertise in high-growth areas such as the millennial market. A good contract manufacturer should have experience with making products that align with the trends they've set, from clean labels to sustainable packaging.
Other areas of opportunity we've noticed are milks formulated especially for toddlers transitioning from infant formula to cow's milk, and milk-based beverages catering to older millennial and Gen X women. Products for this audience have been released in Portugal, Spain and other European countries, and have been well received.
3. Short and long-term relationship potential: Over the last eight to 10 years, I've noticed that at some point, many companies that originally chose a smaller contract manufacturer eventually sign on with a larger entity as their volume grows. It's inevitable when the smaller company does not have the capacity to keep up with demand — a good problem for a dairy brand to have, of course.
However, these more niche co-packers can be great for launches, so during the "courtship" phase, it's well worth it to ask about the potential for both businesses to grow together. This can be the basis of a true, lasting partnership, not merely a transactional one.
It's an exciting time to be an innovator in dairy. Aseptic technology makes it possible to reach beyond local markets and offer shelf-safe products to more consumers. The products we're seeing in development show the amazing range of potential in the industry, and just how much more space people will gladly make in their shopping carts for dairy products that are valuable to them.

Opinion is divided on the appropriateness of a townhouse development proposed for the popular local seaside resort of Sandy Point.
The owner of the local caravan park, Chris Cope, is planning to build another seven two-storey townhouses to add to the three he constructed in recent years on the edge of the park in Ocean View Parade.
"He plans to build three behind the original three and a further four on Surfers Walk," says Sandy Point resident Marlene Abela, who is leading a campaign of opposition to the development proposal.
Mr Cope said that he was surprised and disappointed when he heard that objections had been raised to this latest stage of what has all along been planned as a ten-unit development. He said that all he is doing now, in effect, is reactivating a permit.
Mr Cope said he appreciated that people had a right to object, "but I'm disappointed when they object without knowing the facts".
He said that he had spoken with Ms Abela and tried to apprise her of the facts.
The townhouses, added Mr Cope, boast the only EPA-approved multi-unit sewerage system in Sandy Point. It was set up and approved for ten units.
Already more than 60 people have added their voice to that of Ms Abela and sent objections to the latest expansion of the development to South Gippsland Shire Council's planning department. A planning application is currently with Council. It was on public exhibition only until mid-December, but Ms Abela says she has been told by the shire that even though the planning application is no longer on display people can still send submissions to the shire for some time yet – up until the next shire meeting, which is not scheduled until February 22.
Ms Abela is concerned that some people may have seen the planning application advertised and not realised its significance.
Ms Abela is inviting people to contact her to discuss the issue – by email on marleneabela@bigpond.com or phone her mobile on 0439 368 538 (she is happy to call back). You can also visit sandypointvictoria.blogspot.com.


• Fragrant Paperwhite narcissus will bloom indoors by Thanksgiving if planted now in rocks and water.
• Plant pansies, snapdragons, stock, calendulas and primroses now to replace summer annuals.
• Plant lawns now to have them ready for next summer enjoyment. Ask at your nursery for the best grass seed for your situation.
• Garlic sets can be planted now for an easy crop that you can harvest next spring. Choose from hard-neck, soft-neck or Elephant garlic varieties now available.
Fall is a great time to rejuvenate the perennial border by dividing old clumps of perennials to keep them vigorous and blooming freely.
In general, summer bloomers should be divided in the fall, and fall bloomers divided in the spring. Grasses and bamboo should be divided in early spring just as growth begins. Most perennials should be divided every three to five years, but some, like peonies, are best left alone, as it will take them several years to begin blooming again.
Perennials need dividing when the flowers are smaller than normal, the centers of the clumps are hollow and dead, or when the bottom foliage is sparse and poor. Plants that are growing and blooming well should be left alone unless more plants are wanted.
Water plants thoroughly a day or two before you plan to divide them. Prepare the area where you plan to put your new divisions before you lift the parent plant. Prune the stems and foliage to 6 inches from the ground in order to make the job easier and to cut down on moisture loss.
Dig down on all four sides of the plant, about 4 to 6 inches away from the plant. Pry underneath with a spading fork and lift the whole clump. Shake or hose off loose soil and remove dead leaves and stems. This will help loosen tangled root balls and make it easier to see what you are doing.
Perennials with spreading root systems include asters, bee balm, lamb's ear, Black-eyed Susans and many others. They often crowd out their own centers and can usually can be pulled apart by hand, or cut apart with shears or a knife. Discard the old woody center and replant the young, healthy pieces.
Clumping perennials grow toward the outside of the clump creating new growing points. Many, like astilbes, hostas and daylilies, have thick fleshy roots. It is often necessary to cut through these roots to separate the young plants. Keep at least one developing eye or bud with each division. If larger plants are wanted, keep several eyes.
Bearded iris grow from rhizomes and they need to be divided when they have stopped blooming well. Discard old sections and keep divisions with one fan of leaves, trimmed back halfway. Replant with the top of the rhizome just beneath the surface of the soil.
Plants that have very tough, vigorous root systems, like agapanthus, red-hot pokers and ornamental grasses, may have to be divided with a shovel or saw. You can also hose off the soil to make the root system easier to work with.
Plant the divided sections immediately in the garden or in containers. Replant divisions at the same depth they were originally. Firm soil around the roots to eliminate air pockets and water well after planting.
Fall is the best time to divide most perennials because air temperatures are cool and soil temperatures are warm. So take advantage of the mild fall weather to revitalize your perennials.
• Fragrant Paperwhite narcissus will bloom indoors by Christmas if planted now in rocks and water.
• Clean up dead foliage on perennials like peonies, daylilies and balloon flower and cut back dead flower stems on Echinacea, blanket flower and penstemon.
• Japanese maples and snowball bushes are some of the most colorful shrubs in the fall. Plant them now and give them a head start on spring.
We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. The changing fall foliage never fails to surprise and delight us. Did you ever wonder how and why a fall leaf changes color? Why a maple leaf turns bright red? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.
Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots, and carbon dioxide from the air. They use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose through photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color, helps make photosynthesis happen.
The shortening of daylight hours and cold, crisp nights triggers the trees to go into dormancy. During these days, lots of sugars are produced in the leaf but the cool nights and the gradual closing of veins going into the leaf prevent these sugars from moving out. During the winter months they will live off this stored food.
As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves and the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll. Ginkgo, birch, aspen and willow trees turn a dazzling yellow in the fall.
The vivid red and purple colors in scarlet red maples, sweet gum and dogwood trees are made mostly in the fall. Reds and oranges are made by different pigments, called anthocyanins. Anthocyanin pigments are responsible for the red, purple, and blue colors of many fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, and flowers.
Chlorophyll requires sunlight and warm temperatures to do its work. As chlorophyll exits the leaves, anthocyanins are created to give leaves time to unload nutrients. The new red pigments protect leaves from the sun, giving some species extra time to absorb those essential leaf nutrients.
on red, it's because the burgundy is a mix of outgoing green chlorophyll and incoming red anthocyanins, and the crimson is pure anthocyanin.
While leaves will always change color as the amount of sunlight wanes, weather conditions can affect how brilliant they become. High heat or drought can rob leaves of their brilliance, or make leaves drop early. Insufficient rain in September can also hurt peak color. But lack of wind and rain in the autumn will prolong the display.
• Spray citrus and other tender plants with Cloud Cover to give them some protection from frosts. Bring houseplants indoors.
• Seed slopes with annual ryegrass to prevent erosion and improve the soil for later plantings.
• Liquidambar and Japanese maple trees can't be beat for fall color. Choose them now while you can see their bright colors.
Winter squash and pumpkins are the gems of the garden. Inside their hard and sometimes unattractive shells is a bounty of delicious golden flesh. And to add to that, you can store them away without refrigeration and enjoy them all winter long.
New gardeners are sometimes confused by the name "winter squash." In fact, winter squash grow during the summer months just as "summer" squash do. The difference is that winter squash develop a hard rind that allow them to stored for much of the winter.
Pumpkins and winter squash take a long season to mature. Planted in April or May, they will reach maturity by October. It's best to time your squash crop so that the fruits can be harvested and put into storage before the first hard frost, at 27°F. Pumpkins and winter squash can tolerate light frosts that kill the vines only. If hard frost threatens before pumpkins or squashes are ripe, blanket the fruits and vines with a tarp or loose straw.
To grow squash for storage, wait until the vines begin to dry and the rinds have toughened before harvesting. To test for maturity, press a thumbnail against the skin; your nail shouldn't leave a visible dent. Never rush to harvest winter squash because immature fruits won't store well. Unless pests or freezing weather threaten them, allow fruits to ripen until the vines begin to die back. Pumpkins are harvested when they are uniformly orange and the rind is hard.
Cut, don't pull, ripe squash from the vines, leaving 3 inches of stem attached. A broken stem exposes the fruit to rot, so don't use the stem as a "handle" for carrying. Cure harvested squash, unwashed, in a warm and sunny spot for a week or two. You can also allow them to "cure" in the garden in the warm fall weather. Take care to protect the fruits from cuts, scrapes, and dents, as all can lead to early spoilage.
Thinner-skinned types such as acorn, delicata, and spaghetti squashes should be used within two or three months of harvest. Skip the curing step and move them to a cool place immediately after harvest.
Hubbard, buttercup and kabocha squashes and pie pumpkins can be stored for 4-6 months. Butternuts keep best in storage, sometimes lasting until spring.
Store cured squashes in a room that is dry and cool – 50°-60°F is best – and make sure they have good air circulation. Humidity should be relatively low. Check your stored squash monthly to identify and use up any fruit that shows sign of decay.
During the winter months, when the weather is wet and cold, there's something particularly satisfying about still being able to eat food from your garden. Enjoy the fruits of your harvest all winter long.

May 5, 2017Studies Say
Egg freezing and mental health with psychotherapist Lisa Schuman
Lisa Schuman, LCSW, is a psychotherapist who has been working individuals and couples undergoing fertility treatments for almost twenty years. Lisa has also conducted several studies on the psychology of egg freezing patients.
There's good news about egg freezing.
There has been a steady rise in the acceptance and excitement around using egg freezing to allow women to extend their fertility and build the family of their dreams. I know this well, because as a family building coach and psychotherapist, I have worked with hundreds of women who have elected to freeze their eggs. In my own research and in the research done by my colleagues, women who freeze their eggs report feeling fortunate to have an opportunity to delay childbearing and often experience a sense of relief and empowerment for having done so.
The background on egg freezing: according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the first human birth from a frozen oocyte was reported in 1986. Since then, research has found no increase in congenital anomalies in children born of frozen eggs, nor in the children's birth weight, when compared to the general US population. This research has led the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) to remove the term "experimental" from the procedure in 2012, as they concluded that the procedure was safe. Similar to what occurred in the 1960s, when birth control pills became an available form of contraception and offered women new reproductive choices, women may now elect to determine the timing of their family building.
In research that I conducted, I found that women who froze their eggs were typically well educated and wished to control their reproductive lives. Women who delayed childbearing for personal and/or professional reasons found egg freezing empowering, as they were responding proactively to their fertility and family building potential.
Egg freezing may also provide some peace of mind and relief from self-recrimination. In one study, women who were asked about their motivations for freezing their eggs most frequently stated they wished to avoid self-blame in the event they later attempted a pregnancy and could not conceive. We know that women can be self-critical, and although many of these women were successful in their own right, they often blamed themselves for not conceiving or marrying sooner. Egg freezing can alleviate this pressure because, although it's not a guarantee, it does provide an opportunity for women to finish school, establish themselves in their careers, and/or find the right partner, and feel less anxious about their biological clock.
Positive feelings about egg freezing are found both within the general population and the women who have already undergone treatment. In 2011, Belgian researcher Dominick Stoop reported that 31.5% of the surveyed women of childbearing age would consider themselves future egg freezing patients. In looking at patients who completed the process of egg freezing, he found that 96% of these patients would elect to repeat the process.
And in the research that I conducted in 2012, I found that women who pursued egg freezing felt proud of their decision, as indicated by the fact that they often shared their egg freezing experience with their friends (78% of patients), family (84% of patients), or both (65% of patients).
Every day we are gaining a better understanding of the needs, motivations, and intentions of women considering egg freezing. Amongst the women I speak to in my practice, the majority who elect to cryopreserve their eggs believe the procedure is important to their emotional well-being and will help sustain their hope of becoming mothers in the future, and that is good news for everyone.

Colonel Sir Rowland Blennerhassett, 1st Baronet (1741 - 14 March 1821) was an Anglo-Irish lawyer and baronet.

Blennerhassett was the son of Robert Blennerhassett and Frances Yielding. He was the great-grandson of Robert Blennerhassett MP.

He trained as an attorney and practised law. He was the colonel of the 'Laune Rangers' militia regiment of volunteers from 1779 to 1782. Between 1796 and 1797 he was a Justice of the Peace in County Kerry. Blennerhassett resettled his family at Cahirmoreaun, just outside Tralee, renaming both the house and the village Blennerville in his family's honour. He built a large new family home at Churchtown House, Knockane. In 1800 he was granted permission to hold four fairs a year and one market a week in Blennerville, which providing him with extra income. Blennerhassett established in Blennerville a windmill around 1800 which still exists and a Church of Ireland school, called the Erasmus Smith School, in 1812. On 22 September 1809 he was created a baronet of Blennerville in the County of Kerry, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. He was confirmed the right to bear the family coat of arms a year earlier.

Blennerhassett married his first cousin, Millicent Agnes Yielding, the daughter of Richard Yielding, on 31 October 1762. Millicent was killed in an accident in 1801. She got a blow from one of the sails of their newbuilt windmill. Together, they had five children:

Sir Robert Blennerhassett, 2nd Baronet (26 January 1769 – 21 September 1831), married Rosanna Blennerhassett
Richard Francis Blennerhassett (23 May 1772 - November 1827), married Agnes Denny, daughter of Sir Barry Denny, 1st Baronet
Arthur Blennerhassett (27 October 1776 – 31 May 1839), married Hon. Helena Jane Mullins, daughter of Thomas Mullins, 1st Baron Ventry
Rowland Blennerhassett (26 December 1780 – 12 April 1854), married Letitia Hurly
William Blennerhassett (26 December 1780 - 1842), married Elizabeth Blennerhassett

The story blows the lid on a myth that has been incorporated into mainstream culture and allowed decades of parents and grandparents to condemn tattoos with the threat of exclusion from the family burial plot.
Josh Starr, a Maryland resident and a Junior at Stanford University, has always wanted a tattoo but feared religious and familial consequences. "Growing up, my parents always told me that if I got a tattoo I wouldn't be buried in a Jewish cemetery. I guess I just accepted what they told me, I never thought to look into it." Now that Josh and other young Jewish hipsters have read the article-don't be surprised if you see more tattooed Jews.
Generations of Jewish children have needlessly feared this form of body art-but why? The Times article quotes a number of rabbis who explain that, like any other longstanding myth, it began with some kernel of truth.
Interpretations of this law varies. Take Ari Bacharach, pictured prominently in the Times article for his tattoo reading "Kosher" above a large pig with a Kosher sign on its hindquarters. This ironic tattoo is now ironic for one less reason than we all originally thought. Tattoos are not, as we always believed, against Jewish law.
Not to worry, you haven't been missing out on that bacon without reason; that law still stands.
The ban on Tatoos is just like a lot of other "bubbe meinses" that have no talmudic or biblical origins. Good for H.Grove's exposure of this myth.
Moment published a groundbreaking story by Shaun Raviv on Jews and Tattoos two or three years ago. It included amazing photographs.


After the sensory overload of the Old Belize exhibit, you'll spend approximately 3 hours at Cucumber Beach, located on the same property as Old Belize. On the beach you can dip into the Caribbean Sea, lounge under one of the palapas or a coconut tree with your favorite drink, have a bite to eat or bask in the sun for a bit. There is no snorkeling from this beach since the reef system is about seven miles from shore.

Teams expect Ravens QB Lamar Jackson to be available
After a lengthy injury absence (and a bizarre no-show during Baltimore's playoff loss), many wondered if Lamar Jackson He played his last shot with the Crows. Many NFL GMs ask the same question, and some executives have speculated that a quarterback is already available. "Riving teams see Jackson as available," executives said. Jason La Canfora of The Washington Post. Some of these potential suitors are already beginning to decide what assets they could part with in a potential deal.
[RELATED: Ravens Still "All In" On Lamar Jackson Extension]
There are a few wrinkles when it comes to Jackson's potential trade. Besides preferring to send Jackson out of the AFC, the Ravens are also eyeing a deal that will see them opt out of the draft. And Young talent. Moreover, Jackson will have a say in where he is sent, as no team will sacrifice valuable future assets without the guarantee that a player will sign a long-term deal. Additionally, assuming Baltimore strikes Jackson with an exclusive franchise, he will have a de facto no-trade clause until he signs the bid.
However, there will definitely be some teams ready to make the huge move. Executives have pointed to the Panthers and Falcons as potential suitors, with both teams doing a solid job at it Deshaun Watson the lottery. For Carolina, La Canfora pitches the idea of a package based on it Jesse Horn9th pick, a future first-round pick, a future second-round pick, and the NFL's GM suggested that was the kind of trade it would take.
"You have to find an owner who couldn't find his man [at quarterback] And he will not be afraid of the price, " One GM told La Canfora. "And maybe the team going into next year is on edge. It's kind of a successful year for the coach or for the GM."
on the flip side, thought Joel Corey of CBS Sports The Ravens will not trade Jackson in 2023, with the former agent calling 2024 "the year of reckoning." The franchise's second mark would have the QB eyeing a whopping $54 million for the 2024 campaign, and Jackson would still have the ability to finally hit the open market in 2025. Corey believes the Ravens don't have to rush into a trade now (especially when they're in a position to let them compete), but they will wait for an important decision in 2024. If Baltimore does not trade Jackson next one offseason, they would risk committing more than $100 million to him for 2023 and 2024 and then be left with a compensatory option only when he signs elsewhere as a free agent for 2025.

There is even a chance that Jackson will re-sign with the Crows. Just last week we heard that the Ravens are still "all in" on their franchise player stretch, even with the Powers That Be becoming "disappointed to the point of anger" at the player's absence. Jeff Zrebec of The Athletic warns That any new deal between the two sides will almost certainly not be agreed upon by the March 7 franchise deadline.

wogma rating: Add to 'must watch' list (?)
I urge you to try and read Mrs. Dalloway before you watch The Hours. More than the novel of the same name (of which the movie is quite the direct adaptation), Mrs Dalloway gives you an in-depth insight into Woolf's style of writing and the intricacies of the character of Clarissa Dalloway – on whom the three characters in the film are based. The Hours celebrates complexity and inquiry. It can leave you gloomy and brimming with existential questions. Be warned, but don't miss the film – it's an experience I highly recommend.
Director: Stephen Daldry
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep
Genres: Philosophy
In 1941, Sussex, England, celebrated feminist author Virginia Woolf puts rocks in her pockets and drowns herself in a river. Of the many floating speculations, the largely accepted reason for this suicide was Woolf's much talked about paranoia. Her style and her works have been widely adapted and made into theatrical plays and feature films – yet, only one such film manages to capture the exact concoction of feminism, fiction and bizarre eccentricity that was Virginia Woolf – The Hours.
The movie, based on the novel of the same name by Michael Cunningham, is based on three women who are connected by the segregated souls of a character from Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway – Clarissa Dalloway. The film is also divided into three time zones. In 2002, there is Clarissa Vaughan (played by Meryl Streep), a New Yorker who prepares a party for her AIDS-stricken friend Richard (Ed Harris). In 1950s Los Angeles there is Laura Brown (Julianne Moore) who is pregnant and vastly dissatisfied in her marriage. Then there is Woolf herself (played by Nichole Kidman), in the 1920s in England, and we see her struggling with her depression and mental paranoia.
All three characters are connected – like three lost souls swimming in a fish bowl. They are different aspects of the one character in Woolf's novel. Clarissa Dalloway is an over-analytical, submissive, bi-curious, complex woman and these aspects have been stripped into three vital characters. Moore, Streep and Kidman adapt to their cultural and social time zones perfectly and yet stay true to their complexity, because The Hours is a complex film. It's a film that delves deep into the psyche of these these characters and their battle with their complicated selves.
Parallel narratives guide the film, while we get a strong whiff of every character's thought processes and questions. It's a technique that Woolf was famous for – stream of consciousness – the ability to write freely as the character thinks. Director Stephen Daldry adapts this technique well, as you feel you are visually entering the minds of these three women, carefully observing their every thought and every dilapidated query. The Hours is essentially a celebration of complexity of thought. You may not be going in any direction, plot-wise, with the film. You will just find yourself walking around in circles, dissecting every thought-bubble that the film tries to present to you.
The most important thing that The Hours does is make you question. The kind of spooky questioning that lets you lie in bed, stare at the ceiling and just think – What is acceptable behavior and what is not? The existential question that rides all our backs – what is life about? What am I doing with mine? More than that, the film offers you three different approaches to sexuality, suicide, depression and three different versions of the same women who have those approaches.
The DVD of The Hours has some interesting features: An audio commentary by Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, and Nicole Kidman and 4 Featurettes: Three Women, The Mind and Times of Virginia Woolf, The Music of The Hours, The Lives of Mrs. Dalloway. All four featurrettes are small and explanatory. It provides as a great post-movie viewing as it puts a lot of things into perspective if you haven't read Mrs Dalloway or The Hours.
What makes The Hours a must watch, over the novel, are the performances. Kidman is absolutely engrossing, as Virgina Woolf (you might not even recognize her with her nose being drastically tampered with), playing the desolate, complex part. I would go ahead and say she is the best performer in the film, even ahead of Streep, who looks like she got up from her sleep to play this part. Streepis effortless and extremely likeable – a concrete emotion that Clarissa Dalloway doesn't draw. Julianne Moore looks her demure and confused part.
Watch The Hours most certainly not for entertainment, but for the deep and difficult questioning of those very human emotions we take for granted.
Language: Varies between British, old-American and current-day english
Concept: Indepth analysis of 3 women, of three different time zones and places, who are based on one character

@Anand Thank you for the suggestions. I'll see what can be done.
Meanwhile, I have listings date-wise here (latest published, first). I know this is far from the best because it is according to review publish date and not date of release. Also, it doesn't mention year. I can get a year wise (release) list put up real quick.
There is a category-wise list here, in which you can click on whichever category you'd like, it has language options too. So, if Hindi films is what you're interested in only, you could bookmark this page as Hindi Movies List. Again, not exactly what you are looking for and hardly the idea. But, i'll surely see how we can implement your suggestion

Today's townland is Craigavad, on the County Down shore of Belfast Lough.
You can reach Craigavad by walking along the North Down Coastal Path. If you walk from Holywood, you pass through the townlands of Ballykeel, Ballymenagh and Ballycultra, before you cross the Glen Road and enter Craigavad.
The next photo shows the Royal Belfast Golf Club, which covers a large part of this townland. The club was formed in 1881, and the members played golf in Kinnegar and Carnalea before opening this course in the grounds of Craigavad House in 1926.
Craigavad doesn't extend very far inland. By the time you reach the A2 road and the railway line between Belfast and Bangor, you are on the border with the next townland of Ballygrainey.
Craigavad has a "Station Road", but no station, as trains no longer stop in Craigavad. Station Road is now home to an activity centre for Girl Guides and Brownies, and the headquarters of Girlguiding Ulster at Lorne House.
According to the PLACENAMESNI website, the name Craigavad probably comes from the Irish Creig an Bháda meaning "rock of the boat". Another possible origin for the name is Mhada, meaning "dog" but actually referring to seals. I prefer the "boat" theory, because I don't have any pictures of seals in Craigavad. This container ship was passing Craigavad on its way to the port of Belfast. The land in the background is the County Antrim shore of Belfast Lough.
Finally, I have one photograph of an inscription from "Craigavade", which I found in the graveyard at Holywood Priory.
Click here for a map of Craigavad on Townlands.IE.
What townlands border Craigavad? Along the lough shore towards Belfast, with the boundary following the Glen Road, Ballycultra. Towards Bangor, Ballyrobert. Moving inland, Ballygrainey.
And finally, click here to read more about the history of the name Craigavad on PLACENAMESNI.org.
Wow, I know someone named Hugh Bowden, so that caught my attention!
Weird. I hope your Hugh is alive and well. If he's descended from Irish Bowdens, let me know and I'll send you the full-size photo of the gravestone.

FOMC have changed their normalizing strategy several times and we now see the contours of yet another shift. The Federal Reserve was supposed to reduce its elevated balance sheet before moving interest higher as it would be impossible to increase the fed funds rate in the old fashioned way when the market was saturated with trillions of dollars in excess reserves. When it finally dawned on the FOMC that selling large quantities of TSY and MBS into the market was probably not a very bright idea, they created the O/N RRP to be able to raise rates without draining the financial system of reserves beforehand. Still, the thought of selling, or more accurately not rolling over, trillions worth of government debt, when SWF's and foreign FX managers are desperate to raise USD is still not something the FOMC even want to contemplate.
So a case needs to be built for the FOMC to justify maintaining its bloated balance sheet indefinitely; conveniently enough ex-FOMC member Jeremy Stein with his Harvard colleagues Robin Greenwood and Samuel Hanson did just that in a paper called "The Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet as a Financial-Stability Tool" presented at the Jackson Hole Symposium.
Their argument is simple. When the FOMC starts to raise rates, demand for positive yielding cash-like instruments will increase, thus re-enabling financial institutions to use the commercial paper market to fund themselves cheaply and enjoy a positive carry on their maturity transformation. As our chart below shows, commercial paper outstanding, with extremely short duration, grew exponentially prior to the GFC as financial institutions used the wholesale market to fund illiquid and longer dated positions.
When the crisis hit, confidence in banks evaporated and money market demand for commercial paper dried up, the cost of wholesale funding (if you could get it) became exorbitant and fire sale of illiquid assets exacerbated the GFC debacle.
To avoid excessive wholesale funding in the future, Stein et al suggest maintaining the Federal Reserve balance sheet at the current level in order to supply enough safe, liquid short term money-like assets for money market funds to invest in. Instead of scaling down the O/N RRP facility, Stein et al would rather expand it both scope and attractiveness by narrowing the spread to the IOER.
If money market funds could have indefinite access to the O/N RRP at, say, 10bp under the IOER, they would not be tempted to move into commercial paper when the Federal Reserve finally starts rising interest rates. However, in order for the Federal Reserve to have enough assets to satisfy money market demand they cannot sell their current holdings of TSYs. The authors actually suggest swapping MBS holdings for additional TSYs and keep the balance sheet constant at current level.
While elegantly presented, there are several problems with this line of argumentation. First of all it is probably only a thinly veiled attempt to justify keeping the balance sheet at current level as selling trillions of TSYs could potentially create problems as longer dated benchmark rates would move higher, far higher.
Secondly, it is not supposed to be the Federal Reserve's job to allocate flow of funds in the economy (stop laughing, we said "supposed"), but that is the job of congressionally approved regulations. And the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) has actually led reforms of money market mutual funds in this very direction. New regulations that will be fully implemented by October 14 this year force prime funds to mark to market and even impose redemption fees on investors if liquid assets fall below a certain threshold. Prime funds can even stop redemptions completely for up to 10 days if the threshold is broken. Money market funds investing in government paper are not liable for the new regulations. Needless to say, money market flows have reacted accordingly as the whole idea of investing in money market funds is to retain liquidity.
Since October 2015 prime funds have lost almost $570 billion, while government funds have seen close to $700 billion of inflows. The Libor – OIS spread has thus widened considerably as short term funding for financials and companies have become relatively scarcer whilst government funding options have become more than plentiful.
And even though the O/N RRP is at a disadvantage in terms of yield, money market funds still scramble to get into it as they window dress their balance sheet at quarter- and yearend. As the prime funds lose investors, we should expect this stampede to peter out soon enough.
Third, the treasury could in theory just issue enough T-bills to satisfy the need for short-term safe assets. While this alone affects the overall maturity profile, a corresponding lengthening of longer-dated bond issuance would suffice to maintain whatever duration deemed prudent. Note that the consolidated interest rate risk will not be affected whether it is borne by the central bank or the treasury. However, and the authors do have a point, in that the treasury bear some auction risk as rolling over large amounts T-bills every week could potentially lead to hiccups which the Federal Reserve, issuer of legal tender, would not need worry about.
In summary, we are seeing efforts to justify the excessively large balance sheet held by the Federal Reserve and we expect arguments like the one presented above to gain traction. Bear in mind that if the Federal Reserve chose to go along with a $4.5 trillion ledger, the next recession, which will guaranteed start from a very low Fed Funds rate, will be fought with another $2 – 4 trillion worth of asset purchases. In short order, the Federal Reserve will have a balance sheet of more than $8 trillion; if global confidence in the dollar can withstand such folly.

Animals and alcohol have always had a strange relationship and we have rounded up the top 10 animal and alcohol stories out there.
There are stories of animals becoming drunk because of alcohol, some animals enjoying a glass of wine or others being given wine to ward off the flu.
A classic animal alcohol story was reported by the BBC after a drunken elk got stuck in an apple tree.
Emergency services, helped free the boozed-up beast by sawing off branches. The next day the animal took itself off into the woods with a hangover.


Recently Amazon released Amazon App Store to BlackBerry users. Amazon officially unveiled the Fire today at a special press event held in Seattle. Consistent with the rumors, Amazon's first-ever handset has a 4.7-inch Gorilla Glass display with an HD-resolution screen (720p). That makes it the same size as the Moto X, which was also supposed to be a phone for the masses.
It also has a rubberized frame with aluminum buttons, a quad-core 2.2GHz processor, Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB of RAM. As for the camera, there's a 13-megapixel rear-facing one equipped with an f/2.0 lens and optical image stabilization and the ability to capture 1080p video.
The phone's display will have 590 nits of brightness, dynamic image contrast and a "circular polarizer," which will likely be used to combat glare.
There's also a dedicated camera key and, luckily for all you amateur photogs, it'll come with free unlimited cloud storage for photos as well.
Other features include global LTE and connectivity with nine bands of LTE, quad-band GSM, five bands of UMTS, 802.11ac support, WiFi channel bonding, NFC and Bluetooth.
It even supposedly has great battery life, promising nearly 285 hours of standby time, 22 hours of talk time, 65 hours of audio and 11 hours of video playback. It'll be available exclusively from AT&T for $ 199 if you want the 32GB version, or $299 if you prefer the 64GB.
Alternately, you can get the 32GB version for as little as $27 a month or the 64GB for around $31 a month if you opt for AT&T's Next program. If you'd rather go off-contract instead, you can get the phone directly from Amazon for $649 for 32GB and $749 for 64GB.

AutoCamp Expands to Four New Locations in 2023
The Company's Upscale Glampsites are Coming to Texas, North Carolina, and Two Popular National Parks
Image Caption: Image Courtesy of AutoCamp
Travelers looking to experience AutoCamp's premium glamping service will soon have four new locations to add to their bucket list. The company has announced that it is expanding operations with plans to open four additional sites in 2023. As its other locations, these campsites will feature a blend of upscale amenities and a deep immersion in nature.
The new campgrounds include AutoCamp Asheville in North Carolina and AutoCamp Hill Country, located in Texas, about 80 miles west of Austin. The other two new destinations will be national park-adjacent, with AutoCamp Zion coming to Utah and AutoCamp Sequoia opening in California. These locations join existing sites in the Catskills Mountains, on Cape Cod, and near Yosemite and Joshua Tree National Parks.

As with AutoCamp's existing sites, the new locations will allow visitors to book a stay in a luxury tent, a premium cabin suite, or a renovated Airstream travel trailer. An onsite clubhouse serves as a gathering place with plenty of activities, games, snacks, and opportunities to socialize. The company even offers organized "experiences" that make it easy for guests to explore the local area while going on hikes, kayak tours, bike rides, and other adventures.
Glampers looking to visit AutoCamp's new locations will need to be a little patient. According to the company, the Zion site won't open until the spring of 2023, with AutoCamp Asheville following in the summer. The Hill Country retreat—the largest AC campground yet with 110 total accommodations—is scheduled to open in late 2023, with AutoCamp Sequoia following suit around the same time.
AutoCamp already has dedicated web pages for each new location with beautiful photos and hints of what to expect from each campsite when they open next year. Travelers can also sign-up to receive email updates on the progress of each site, including when the company will begin taking online reservations.

I'm seeking some help, my daughter is 12 years old, she recently cut her wrists in what is believed to be a cry for help. She's very introverted so it's hard to say what's really eating her inside, I'm suspecting from what she's said to me that it's about it the relationship she has with her mother, as well as the fact mom & I don't have good communication. My daughter did say that her mom is all about her new relationship and spends pretty much all of her time with the guy ignoring the girls.
A little background: 2 daughters, ages 12 & 8, with mom Mon-Wed, me on Thurs (overnight) and every other weekend. Mother is in new relationship and my daughter told me that her mom is all about herself and her new boyfriend. Mom doesn't cooperate with me very well, frequently denies me access to the girls, I attempt to call daily but she'll ignore my phone calls or my requests via text messages to speak to the girls. She's also left me off of the emergency card while adding her new boyfriend on it instead. She doesn't communicate school/extracurricular activities very well, I go directly to school myself, however there are still important things to discuss regarding kids school activities and she'll just flat out ignore me. When we do talk, everything is a conflict with her, she yells, she calls me names (in front of girls too). Oh and last summer she was arrested for domestic battery for hitting me, which the court later deemed to be a one time event and not rising to the level of a change in circumstances (family law courts are so flawed -- or I didn't have a good enough attorney).
What I'm seeking: I want more time with the girls, I'm shooting for another day a week, so it'd be Wed/Thurs with me, mom can be with them Mon/Tues. I'm also wanting to get us into co-parenting therapy, I was going to file for an emergency hearing to get immediate therapy for my daughter, but was finally able to get mom to agree, so I didn't need the emergency hearing after all.
One thing I'm torn about is if I immediately file for a change in visitation or wait to go thru therapy first to see if we can resolve.
I know that my daughters would want and can benefit from having more time with me. My daughters are afraid enough of their mother not to really tell her how they feel, I believe that they're feelings are being suppressed. Mom has shown traits of either bipolar, borderline or narcissistic personality orders (or all of the above really).
Anyone have any tips/suggestions? This is in San Bernardino County (Southern California).

A versatile vehicle that enjoys the short sprint as much as the long distance.
Few would deny that the 911 is Porsche's brand. We're hard-pressed to think of a vehicle on the planet that's more instantly recognizable than the iconic German 2+2. Over the course of its 50-year run, the 911 has been pumped up, prettied up and kept up to date. An old 911 can still bring top-dollar and this past August one very special 911—Steve McQueen's gray 1976 930 Turbo Carrera—fetched $1.95 million at the Monterey auctions.
But could the late King of Cool keep his cool upon learning that the runaway, best-selling Porsche in North America doesn't have an air-cooled flat-six engine hung out back, has four doors and doesn't even offer a manual gearbox? The Cayenne Turbo may be lagging in cachet, but the 911's practical stable mate has a strong fan base. In October, the premium SUV outsold all 911s, Caymans, Boxsters and Panameras, combined.
The Cayenne Turbo's major mechanicals sound like the recipe for a modern American muscle car. Stuffed under its widened, aluminum hood is a twin- turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 and 8-speed automatic transmission. But from the cockpit, the Cayenne is all Porsche, even if it does tip the scales at two-and-a half tons. Still, 520 horsepower overcomes that baggage handily, as we discovered during a turbocharged getaway trip to Galveston.
The Cayenne Turbo has a split personality that quickly seduces. Just embrace its luxury side, fine-tune the scrumptious 18-way power sport seats and store the settings in the memory, dial in cruise control and settle back. We were impressed that conversation could take place at living-room volume or when the mood struck, fill the cabin with fave tunes, courtesy of the delightfully crisp Bose stereo. The ride is sublime, as you're literally suspended in air, thanks to the Turbo's active suspension.
Sweeping transition ramps and open stretches of road like the Bluewater Highway bring out the Turbo's fiery side. This is a fast, great-handling four place sports car. Though a gang of gauges, switches and buttons in the driver-centric cockpit are top-notch and would look right at home on the flight deck of a Gulfstream executive jet, we'd prefer a consolidation of switchgear and less chrome to reduce reflected glare.
A Cayenne wouldn't be a Porsche without a mile-long list of options, colors and materials to personalize your beast. A few random upgrades on our tester: adaptive cruise control at $2,300, soft-close doors for $770, key fobs painted to match the vehicle's color for $365. Grab handles in natural olive for $1,640 caught our attention and passengers will find those handles come in handy when the beast is unleashed.
After all, Porsche says the Cayenne Turbo will rip from zero to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. If that's too pokey for you hard chargers, there's the Turbo S with 570 ponies.
Just don't go looking for a manual transmission.
