multiples of eight until you have the number of stitches that you would like
on your needle it is totally your choice once you have
that it's the plus one it's just one last little stitch to finish up the
casting on just that one right there okay Row one we begin with knit four so
we're knitting four stitches to begin right here on Row one we get that little
tail out of the way and then once we have four stitches we're going to be
knitting between those asterisks and that means we're repeating the pattern
all the way down so we begin with P 1 that is purl one stitch and then this
repeat is k7 so we're knitting 7 stitches and we continue this pattern of
p1k 7 all the way down the row until we have 5 stitches remaining on our needle
and once we get to that point it is P 1 so we're going to bring our yarn to the
front purl 1 stitch and then finish up row 1 right here with 4 knit stitches so
we'll just do it right here 1 & 2 3 & 4
p3 is how we start out Row 2 here so there's 3 purl stitches 1 2 and 3 and
then we're going to take our yarn to the back to knit and you'll see the
asterisks it's k1 p1 k1 p5 so we're knitting one stitch and then we're
bringing our yarn to the front and it is p1 purling one stitch then we are
knitting one stitch and then we are purling five more stitches and this is
the repeat pattern that you do all the way down the row and here on Row 2 we're
going to be doing this repeat until we have 6 stitches remaining on our needle
and at that point it is k1 that's knitting 1 and then we're going to purl
one stitch and then we're going to knit one stitch and then finishing up Row 2
with p3 that is purling three stitches
row three we begin with knitting two stitches so it's one and two and then
the pattern between the asterisks that's the repeat and it's p1k three so we
bring our yarn to the front for one purl stitch that's P one our yarn to the back
and it's knitting three stitches so this P 1 K 3 we are going to keep repeating
that pattern all the way down the row until we have just three stitches
remaining on our needle and then we finish it up with P 1 purling 1 and
knitting 2 stitches here to finish up Row 3 Row 4 we begin with a purl stitch
so you'll have your yarn in the front to begin and then the entire rest of your
row is the repeat so it's K 1 that's knit 1 bringing our yarn around to the
front and we're going to purl 5 stitches 2 3 4 and 5 and then k 1 we're knitting
one stitch and we are purling one stitch and we repeat this all the way down to
the very end of our row and let's see how it is knitting up you can see we're
halfway there we have the little bottom part of the diamond and Row 5 were
purling 1 and then we are knitting a 7 and those are between the asterisks so
that means that we are repeating p1k 7 all the way down the row until we hit
one last little stitches remaining and that will be a purl stitch purl one now
our diamond pattern is tapering back up so row 6 is actually exactly the same as
row for so you start with the purl one and
then you do the stitch pattern between the asterisks right there row seven is
identical to what we did in Row three so again we just start with two stitches
and then we have the repeat of purl one knit three until you get to the last
three stitches and then it's just purl one and it to our last row row eight of
our eighth row repeat we are doing exactly what we did on Row two so you
just follow the pattern all the way until you finish up row eight and here
is how the eight rows our little diamond pattern turns out it looks really pretty

Happy Nugget! #1 George Washington - Duration: 11:50.
Hi, I'm Olivia, and today's Happy Nugget! comes from George Washington, the remarkable
first president of the United States of America.
Washington had numerous achievements as a statesman, soldier, general and commander
in chief of the continental army during the American Revolution.
His bravery, honor, and popularity led him to be known as the "father of the country."
George Washington's character is best described by the loyal men he led into battle.
Long before the American Revolution, after five difficult years as Virginia's leading
military figure, George Washington resigned his commission in 1759 returning to civilian
life.
His officers wrote him a letter.
From James Thomas Flexner's fantastic biography "The Forge of Experience," Washington's officers
wrote, "The happiness we have enjoyed and the mutual honor we have acquired together…In
our earliest infancy you took us under your tuition, trained us up in the practice of
that discipline which alone can constitute good troops…Your steady adherence to impartial
justice, your quick discernment and invariable regard to merit…first heightened our natural
emulation and our desire to excel…Judge then how sensibly we much be affected with
the loss of such an excellent commander, such a sincere friend, and so affable a companion!
How rare it is to find those amiable qualifications blended together in one man.
How great the loss of such a man."
George Washington was born in 1732 in Virginia to a line of ancestors who'd forged their
fortunes in the New World.
His father was a gentle businessman, his mother self-willed and determined.
As a boy George saw his two eldest half brothers sent to England to study in the same school
his father had attended and George was expected to attend.
When he was eight, his brother Lawrence, who was a great influence in Washington's life,
became a captain in the regular British Army.
When George was eleven his father died and with him the promise of studying in England.
George became the oldest child in the household helping to care for his younger sister and
three brothers.
His mother mismanaged their farm and George grew up wanting for many things.
Extremely self-centered, Washington's mother resented anything that took her son's attention
away from her.
She put down his achievements, and tried to stop him from getting any opportunities.
Early on, George learned to rely on himself forever longing for the love and domestic
stability he never got as a child.
Because of his father's death, Washington's formal education ended when he was fourteen
or fifteen.
Everything he knew he taught himself from experience, conversations, and books.
When George was a teenager his brother Lawrence worried about his future urging him to join
the British navy.
He didn't, but Washington was already harboring military dreams.
For years he made a living as a surveyor mapping Virginia's back country, frontier and wilderness
falling in love with the vastness and the promise of the American landscape.
At nineteen he invested his earnings on buying land.
When he was twenty his brother Lawrence died after a prolonged battle with tuberculosis,
one of the greatest losses in Washington's life.
To escape his mother's clutches, Washington paid calls to prominent Virginia ladies in
the hopes of securing marriage without luck because Washington came from a secondary family,
the only thing to his name was a second rate farm, but this did not stop him from dreaming
of a better future.
As was common practice in those times, Washington began to lobby for the military position his
brother Lawrence had held, but beyond intelligence and boundless energy he had no qualifications
for the job.
Persistent, focused, and diplomatic, George Washington rode up and down the Virginia countryside
paying his compliments and request to those influential in the Virginia government and
he succeed in securing the appointment.
At the time England and France were vying for much of the world, including colonial
possessions in America.
In 1749 France laid claim to all the land draining into the Ohio, engaging in bitter
rivalries over Native American land and treaties.
The Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, a representative of the British crown, insisted that they should
build forts on the Ohio and that they should send an emissary to the upper wilderness to
see if the French were really on English soil.
That emissary was to deliver a letter requesting the French to depart peacefully, and if they
refused, by order of the British King, they would be driven out by force of arms.
Through a combination of skill, luck, and being in the right place at the right time,
George Washington was selected to be that emissary described as being 'used to the
woods, a youth of great sobriety, diligence and fidelity.'
George Washington was an ordinary young man thrust into extraordinary circumstances of
world shaking implications.
As the bitter winter approached, Washington set out into the Ohio wilderness amidst excessive
rains and snow.
After weeks of hardship, Washington met with the Indians and delivered his fateful message
to the French.
He headed back after making note of their military fortifications with an official letter
for the British.
That letter would help plunge the European powers into a terrible seven years war.
Wrecked with anxiety, Washington carried his lethal message through half-frozen rivers
and ice-chocked wilderness, barely escaping a bullet shot by an Indian.
Washington was convinced the French had offered a reward for his scalp and his companion's.
In the darkness of night they hid, and come morning they hoped for a frozen river so they
could cross, but they found the opposite.
Washington and his companion chopped wood for most of the day to escape on a raft.
Jammed by the ice, Washington expected to sink and perish at any moment.
Trying to secure the raft, Washington was flung into the freezing wild river.
He escaped drowning through sheer physical strength only to sleep in the freezing cold.
The next morning he thanked God the river had frozen.
Now he could cross it and deliver his message.
For his bravery George Washington was appointed second in command of the newly formed Virginia
army encountering the difficulties he would face throughout his career of enlisting, clothing
and feeding his soldiers but at twenty-one years old George Washington persevered, undaunted,
perhaps naive, often falling short of the insurmountable expectations, but never wavering
in his commitment, his courage on the battlefield unmatched.
During the French and Indian War, Washington failed miserably in diplomacy with the Indians,
with the French and as functioning commander of the expeditionary force.
Washington was inexperienced, often proud and sometimes foolhardy, but to the people
his bravery was absolute, to his neighbors he had already become a hero.
When George Washington resigned his commission in 1759 he was stung with a sense of failure.
For the next seventeen years he built a peaceful and domestic life with his wife Martha as
a landowner, farmer and businessman.
Kind and generous he was a loved and respected member of his community.
By the time the seeds of the American Revolution were sown, Washington had no intention to
serve or to lead, but history had other plans.
Washington's popularity had only grown.
He was loved by the people, respected, admired and envied by his contemporaries, but Washington
was modest and humble enough to acknowledge his shortcomings, equipping himself at every
turn with as much knowledge as possible to be able to rise to whatever occasion he might
be called upon.
In 1775 George Washington was overwhelmed when he was unanimously elected to command
the continental forces for the defense of American liberty.
Two days later, Washington wrote his wife Martha a letter and he said, "My Dearest:
I am now set down to write to you on a subject, which fills me with inexpressible concern,
and this concern is greatly aggravated and increased, when I reflect upon the uneasiness
I know it will give you.
It has been determined in Congress, that the whole army raised for the defense of the American
cause shall be put under my care, and that it is necessary for me to proceed immediately
to Boston to take upon me the command of it.
You may believe me, my dear Patsy, when I assure you, in the most solemn manner that,
so far from seeking this appointment, I have used every endeavor in my power to avoid it,
not only from my unwillingness to part with you and the family, but from a consciousness
of its been a trust too great for my capacity, and that I should enjoy more real happiness
in one month with you at home, than I have the most distant prospect of finding abroad,
if my stay were to be seven times seven years.
But as it has been a kind of destiny, that has thrown me upon this service, I shall hope
that my undertaking it is designed to answer some good purpose."
George Washington was not born a hero, and he made many mistakes along the way, but he
never stopped working tirelessly to perfect himself through the exercise of his own skill
and will.
His bravery and tenacity were always there, but his wisdom and strength developed with
time and in the process and American hero was forged.
Washington was not an intellectual, he was a man of action, who kept his gaze forward,
who carried in his heart the lessons from the past, who lived in the present fully,
and who fought for the future and freedom of all Americans.
George Washington was never just a military figure.
He was the embodiment of the indomitable American spirit, of courage, energy, ingenuity, and
an unshakable will.
Sometimes life has plans for us we don't expect, but if we live an honorable life,
if we acknowledge our weaknesses and work to improve ourselves we will always rise to
meet the challenges life has in store for us, no matter how big and insurmountable they
may seem.
Heroes are not born, they're self made.

Love & Relationships: How you can achieve love and successful relationships - Duration: 40:52.
Hi, welcome to Happy Now Olivia!
A channel dedicated to the pursuit of happiness, because you don't have to wait.
You can be happy now.
I'm Olivia.
Today I'm going to talk about Love and Relationships, the subject of timeless art, literature and
music.
We all want to love and to be loved, but most problems in modern society come from neglecting
the first part of that sentence.
Actively loving someone versus just wanting to be loved.
If you've watched my Intro video, you know that I was searching for happiness for a long
time.
Part of that search included desperately trying to find love.
I looked outside of myself and gave everything I had to give to all the wrong people.
I neglected the most important person, myself.
In order to know and love someone else, we have to know and love ourselves.
We've heard this before and it may sound trite, but it's true.
In todays world there are a thousand distractions at every turn.
If we haven't learned to focus our attention to the deepest parts of who we are, this concept
may be difficult to accept, or we may be convinced we know who we are and what we want.
When we are in a close relationship with someone, two things happen.
The best of us comes out, but also the worst of us comes out and that is one of the greatest
opportunities for personal growth.
When the little things and sometimes the big things that aren't the most polished or
the prettiest come out, love, commitment and understanding play their greatest roles in
helping us to grow and to look within ourselves to get better.
The result is a deep, wonderful, and honest connection with another human being.
In order to address the subject of how to achieve love and successful relationships
I'm going to go back to two of my favorite books, "Restoration Therapy" by Terry Hargrave
and Franz Pfitzer and "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey.
With Restoration Therapy the goal is to restore the elements of human existence that most
often cause relational and individual brokenness.
The human need to find relationships, to develop relationships is innate.
We can't form identity, knowledge of the self, or even our personalities without
the context of another.
We don't reflect ourselves.
We see and learn about ourselves through the context and reflection of relationships.
Relationships demand that one individual give to another.
As a result of the giving, this individual is entitled to receive something.
These two facts make humans interdependent.
Interdependence is the healthy expression of a allowing the desire for relationships
when there is a consistency we can rely on that allows us to trust and move towards
an exchange of love and intimacy.
That predictability and trust allows to move into deeper and deeper levels of interaction.
So what happens when a partner in a relationship is irresponsible?
Who will be responsible for the giving the other in the relationship needs?
Many people who are in relationships with irresponsible people become isolated because
of the hopelessness that the other partner will not meet their needs, or they become
over responsible trying to meet their own needs.
We can't receive from ourselves the giving that must come from another.
Responsibility in a relationship belongs to two people, and it means to give responsibly
in a way that is reliable.
But human beings are not totally reliable.
Even in the best of relationships and in the best of circumstances, with the best of intentions
partners can't be totally predictable.
How much unpredictability can a relationship handle?
According to Hargrave and Pfizer, clinically, partners in a relationship need a consistency
rate of about 85% to 90%.
Predictability doesn't mean perfection, but partners have to be consistent in giving
or they will be forced into a position of questioning safety and trustworthiness.
An aspect of trustworthiness that is key in relationships is Justice or Balance.
In a horizontal relationships between equals such as spouses, each is entitled to give
and each is entitled to receive equally.
Picture a ledger where on the left someone is entitled to receive respect, care and intimacy.
On the right they're obligated to give respect, care and intimacy.
This is just a partial list of what spouses and people in relationships give and take.
Each relationship's individual ledger may be different in terms of specifics.
For example in some relationships one person is more responsible for providing income to
the family, the other may be responsible to provide more care and nurturing to the household.
If the individuals feel that the give and take is balanced, they will feel that the
relationship is fair, and that there is justice in the give and take.
It's important to remember that the give and take in a relationship does not to be
exact at any given moment.
Sometimes someone gives more than they receive in a relationship, or they receive more than
they give.
As long as these times oscillate appropriately between partners, so that the give and take
is balanced over a period of time, trustworthiness can be achieved.
The point is to maintain long-term balance in relationships.
In order to illustrate a practical way of how to achieve trust and balance in relationships,
I'm going to go over Stephen Covey's fantastic concept of the emotional bank account.
With a financial bank account we make deposits to build up a reserve from which we can make
withdrawals when we need too.
An emotional bank account is a metaphor for the amount of trust that's been built in
a relationship.
For example, if I make deposits into an emotional bank account with you through kindnesses,
honesty and keeping promises, I build up a reserve.
Your trust toward me becomes higher, and I can call upon that trust many times if I need to.
I can even make mistakes and that high trust account, that emotional reserve will compensate
for it.
When the trust account is high communication is easy, instant and effective.
But if I have a habit of showing discourtesy, disrespect, cutting you off, ignoring you,
becoming arbitrary, betraying your trust and threatening you, my emotional bank account
is overdrawn.
The trust levels are very low and I have no flexibility.
I have to watch everything I say, be careful about everything I say.
The tension in the air is palpable.
Marriage is the most intimate, potentially rich, joyful, satisfying, and productive relationship
possible between two people.
Our most constant relationships require our most constant deposits.
We've all run into friends from the past we haven't seen for years and we can pick
up right where we left off, because earlier deposits are still there.
But our accounts with the people we interact with on a regular basis need a more constant
investment.
Stephen Covey outlines 6 major deposits we can do to build an emotional bank account that
will yield a lifetime of love and trust interest.
The first deposit we can make is Understanding the Individual.
Really seeking to understand another person is probably the most important deposit you
can make and the key to every other deposit.
We really don't know what constitutes a deposit to someone else unless we truly know
and understand that person.
What may constitute a deposit to you: going for a walk to talk things over, going out
for ice cream together, doing a project together, may not be perceived as a deposit
by someone else.
In fact, it might even be perceived as a withdrawal if it doesn't address that person's deep
interests or needs.
To make a deposit, what is important to someone else must be as important to you as that person
is to you.
We tend to project out of our own autobiographies what we think other people want or need.
The second deposit we can make towards having a successful relationship is Attending to
the Little Things.
Little kindnesses and courtesies are so important.
Small unkindnesses and discourtesies or forms of disrespect make major withdrawals.
In relationships the little things are the big things.
Third, Keeping Commitments.
Keeping a commitment or a promise is a major deposit.
Breaking one is a major withdrawal.
There's probably not a more massive withdrawal you can make than to make a promise that matters,
that means something to someone and not come through.
Fourth, Clarifying Expectations.
Most relationship difficulties are rooted in conflicting and ambiguous expectations
around roles and goals.
Unclear expectations lead to misunderstandings, disappointments and withdrawals of trust.
Expectations may be implicit.
They haven't been explicitly stated or announced, but people nonetheless bring them into a particular
situation.
Even if they haven't been discussed or the person who has isn't even aware of it,
fulfilling them makes deposits, violating them makes withdrawals.
That's why it's so important whenever you come into a new situation to lay out on
the table all the expectations explicitly and clearly.
The fifth deposit we can make is to Show Personal Integrity.
Personal Integrity generates trust and it's the basis for many other deposits.
A lack of integrity undermines almost every other effort to build high trust accounts.
Integrity includes but goes beyond honesty.
Honesty is telling the truth, conforming our words to reality.
Integrity is conforming reality to our words: keeping promises and fulfilling expectations.
One of the most important ways we can manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are
not present.
In doing so, we gain the trust of those who are present.
Integrity is an interdependent reality where we treat everyone by the same set of principles.
Many people would prefer to take the course of least resistance, belittling and criticizing,
betraying confidences, and gossiping about people behind their backs.
Integrity also means avoiding any conversation that is deceptive and beneath the dignity
of people.
The sixth and final deposit we can make is To Apologize Sincerely.
A person must have a deep level of security in order to apologize genuinely.
People with little internal security can't do it.
It makes them too vulnerable.
They feel it makes them appear soft and weak.
Their worth comes from the opinions of other people and they worry what others might think.
They usually feel justified in what they did and they rationalize their own wrongdoing.
If they apologize at all, it's insincere.
Sincere apologies make deposits, repeated apologies interpreted as insincere make withdrawals.
When we make deposits of unconditional love with people, we help them to feel safe, secure,
validated and affirmed in their sense of worth, identity and integrity.
One of, another aspect of trustworthiness that is key in relationships is Openness.
When we are open about our flaws we acknowledge areas of deficiency.
It makes us more likely to use that openness to address shortcomings and to grow.
Being open about flaws without addressing shortcomings demands that the other partner
simply adjust, and live as if the problem doesn't exist, or can't be solved.
Openness doesn't mean, it's not about saying "This is the way I am, and in order
to be with me you have to take me as I am."
It means "This is what I see in myself and I believe I can be better."
When openness points toward growth, our imperfections and our partner's actually pull us closely
into a more intimate bond.
Openness also provides an opportunity to demonstrate vulnerability.
When we share what we think about a particular subject or that partner in a relationship,
we invite the other to do the same.
Our thoughts and emotions in many ways are the things that are the most important and
the deepest to us.
When we share these openly and vulnerably in relationships we're sharing the deepest
parts of who we are.
There are two ways in which people are not open in relationships.
The first is misrepresentation and lying.
When someone is intentionally deceptive in a relationship, the discovery is particularly
painful to the other individual because their thoughts, feeling and reality turned out to
be false, and they're left wondering if anything in the relationship was real or true.
Another way lying is painful is that vulnerability and openness were openly given with nothing
given in return.
The second way people are not open in relationships is to become distant or secretive which results
in an intimacy standstill.
There is little interaction between partners as they each drift further and further away
into their own individuality.
There is no intimacy or vulnerability.
There has been much interest in psychology about the unconscious and seeking relationships
to correct or fulfill a need, desire or relationship from the past.
For example, a man marries a woman just like his mother or ex-wife.
Some of these theories are valid in terms of motivations, unconscious urges and felt
obligations, but Hargrave and Pfitzer's basic premise of the Restoration Therapy model
is that human beings seek relationships not so much because they mimic the behavior and
relationships with our past and our caregivers, but because they need them to form a sense
of identity and safety.
Human beings are built to seek relationships and for those relationships to be
trustworthy, balanced and fulfilled.
Unfulfilled and unmet needs in relationships resemble unfulfilled and unmet needs with
our primary caregiving relationships, because relationships in general bring out those needs
that are related to love and trustworthiness.
That's why relationships provide us with an incredible opportunity to grow.
Because we can choose to face ourselves and our past in order to find love, peace and
balance in the present.
It's not okay for an individual to seek from their spouse or child the love and nurturing
they did not get from a parent.
However, it's normal for those primary emotions surrounding the past to come up in relationships
in the present.
I go over in detail how a lack of love and trustworthiness affects our behavior and personality
at an individual level and how to get better in my Therapy video.
There are two patterns found in relationships: complimentary and symmetrical.
In complimentary relationships, the patterns of the partners tend to be at opposite extremes.
If one partner is dominant, the other may be submissive.
If one is assertive, assertive, the other may be avoidant.
Behavior in the relationships remains fairly stable because both partners in the relationship
are doing and feeling something different than the other.
In symmetrical relationships the patterns of the partners tend to be of the same nature.
If one is blaming, the other is blaming.
If one is controlling, the other is controlling too.
Intensity and feelings escalate because both partners are doing more of the same behavior.
Complimentary relationships can work well if the focus is constructive, appropriate,
loving and trustworthy.
For example, a parent feels loved, fulfilled and optimistic, therefore parents their child
in an authoritative, instructive and involved manner.
In turn, the child feels loved, competent and not alone, is submissive to the direction
of the parent, cooperative in instruction and intimate and open.
Likewise symmetrical relationships can work well and be positive if the focus of the intensity
and escalation are in a loving and trustworthy direction.
For example, lovers interested in demonstrating love to one another, in spending more quality
time with one another.
They might reciprocate with increasing number of gifts, conversations and activities that
continue to reinforce that care and nurturing in the relationship.
In both patterns if there is a question of safety and identity, it can make the partners
agitated and frustrated and the relationship itself can reinforce unloving and untrustworthy
feelings present in each partner's past.
How an individual reacts from relationship to relationship and setting to setting is
fairly constant.
I'm going to go over some of the destructive patterns that develop in relationships, but
if you want to know more about everything I'm talking about I highly recommend
"Restoration Therapy" and "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People."
As always I link below the video everything I recommend and additional information.
One of the destructive patterns that can develop in relationships is the Pursuer/Distancer Pattern
where partners in a relationship have distinct and differing needs with the Pursuer
desiring a more close, emotionally enmeshing relationship, while the Distancer values autonomy
and individuality more.
The Pursuer may have a difficult time holding on to a consistent sense of self without having
someone to reassure them of love and affection.
They feel alone and unwanted and act needy or try to manipulate the partner toward more intimacy
The Distancer feels unsafe as a result of the neediness and manipulation feeling that
the Pursuer will never be happy with his or her efforts or actions, and feeling hopeless
to meet the Pursuer's needs.
They will cope by using Escape/Chaos behaviors and avoid that partner.
Next another destructive pattern is the Overfunctioner/Underfunctioner Pattern.
In this pattern partners are feeling threatened by, in terms of safety and trustworthiness,
and they react towards two extremes of Control Behaviors, the Overfunctioner, and Escape/Chaos
behaviors, the Underfunctioner.
For example, the Overfunctioner feels betrayed or used, and they act in a critical and judgmental way.
The Underfunctioner feels disconnected and guilty and shames themselves, using Escape/Chaos
behaviors and withdraws to avoid those feelings.
Another destructive pattern is the Blamer/Placater pattern.
In this pattern partners are usually feeling pressure or pain in terms of dentity and feeling unloved
The Blamer blames because they feel alone, insignificant and unappreciated.
The Placater copes by shaming themselves as they feel worthless, defective and hopeless.
The Blamer is angry, arrogant and aggressive, the Placater anxious, needy, and depressed.
As this pattern develops it almost always comes to be at least emotionally abusive of
the Placater and usually develops into physical and sexual violence.
Marriage can be the most intimate, satisfying and enduring of human relationships so it
may seem natural and even proper to be centered on your spouse, or significant other.
But when Stephen Covey worked with troubled marriages, he observed than in almost every
spouse-centered relationships there was a strong thread of emotional dependence.
When our sense of worth comes primarily from our marriage and not ourselves we become highly
dependant on the moods, behaviors, and treatment of our spouse or partner in a relationship
and to any external event that may impinge on that relationship: a new child, economic
setbacks, in-laws, social successes and so forth.
When responsibilities and stressors come into the marriage, the spouse centered relationship
reveals all it's vulnerability.
Some people seek therapy to change that spouse or person in a relationship because they need
someone to be or behave differently in order to feel okay about themselves and feel safe in the relationship.
This strategy leads nowhere, because when it comes to relationships deteriorating it's
never just one person's fault and the person seeking to change that someone else without
seeing themselves as an object of change is missing the big picture.
Sometimes it's true that the other person needs to change.
Most of these relationships are with violent, victimizing or highly irresponsible people,
but the truth remains that change must be focused on ourselves, because it's not possible
to change someone else.
We can only change ourselves.
To do this requires and incredible amount of proactivity.
To be proactive is Stephen Covey's first habit in his "7 Habit of Highly Effective People."
I go over all habits in my 7 Habits video.
But the 7 habits are a principle centered, character based inside out approach.
Meaning that in order to grow and change you have to look at the most inside part of yourself first.
If you want to have a happy, loving and successful relationship then be the kind of person that
generates positive energy and sidesteps negative energy rather than empowering it.
If you want a more pleasant and cooperative teenager then be a more understanding, empathetic,
consistent and loving parent.
If you want more freedom and latitude in your job, then be a more helpful, contributing,
and responsible employee.
If you want to be trusted, then be trustworthy.
If you want the secondary greatness of recognized talent then focus first on the primary greatness
of character.
If we use what Stephen Covey called The Personality Ethic, superficial influence strategies and
techniques to get other people to do what we want, to work better, to be more motivated,
to like us more, while our character remains fundamentally flawed, marked with duplicity
and insincerity then in the long run we can't be successful with others or at life.
In an artificial social system like a school you may be able to get by if you learn to
manipulate the man-made rules and how to play the game.
In most one-shot, short-lived human interactions, you can use the personality ethic to make
a favorable impression by using charm, skill and pretending to like other people's hobbies.
Many people with secondary greatness, that is social recognition for their talents, lack
primary greatness and goodness in their character.
Sooner or later you'll see this in every long-term relationship they have whether it's
with a spouse, a work associate, a friend or a teenager going through an identity crisis.
When it comes to relationships there are no shortcuts.
There is no way to parachute into this terrain.
The landscape ahead is covered with the fragments of broken relationships of people who have
tried to jump into effective relationships without the maturity or strength of character
to maintain them.
You have to walk the road.
You can't be successful with others if you haven't paid the price of success with yourself.
So what happens if there is a problem in our intimate relationships?
When a couple falls in love, they come together and many marry because they're intoxicated
with that initial euphoria of love, but within a matter of months or years
they can't stand each other.
Many are absolutely convinced the other partner is their enemy.
How did this couple who were once so in love lose one another to become distant and emotionally
disillusioned?
Many couples lose themselves because of their differences in relationship focus.
Many people come into relationships expecting the other partner to give them emotional fulfillment
and happiness.
What they often find is someone who triggers them emotionally and creates many questions
around safety and identity.
Instead of safe they feel insecure.
Instead of loved they feel unloved, unwanted and alone.
Many people who go into relationships looking for this type of emotional fulfillment and
happiness are actually missing the point of what relationships do in general.
Relationships, especially deep mating, family relationships, force us toward growth to deal
with the deepest parts of ourselves in terms of learning who we are and how to be more
capable and powerful in a world that is not always safe.
As much as we would like it to be so, a partner is not built to give us our identity or to
protect us in an unsafe world.
There was but, There is but one time in our lives when that is programmed into us and
is in the vertical relationship between caregiver and child.
What we have in a horizontal relationship of coupling is the opportunity to walk together,
to share, to struggle and to grow.
As individuals we must be responsible for our own sense of self and our own power or
we cannot couple.
Relationships are not meant to make us happy, they're meant to make us grow.
Partnering through marriage is not just two people who commit to sharing life together
and standing by one another.
They actually create something new because of their relationship.
Hargrave and Pfitzer call it the "Us-ness."
The wonderful quality of this "Us-ness" is that it's neither you nor me.
The relationship contains both individuals and is more than the sum of their individual parts
Even though the relationship is invisible, it does have visible parts that are identifiable
and, that are dynamic and visible.
Us-ness has it's own personality, likes and dislikes.
For example, my wife likes hiking.
I don't particularly.
However, our Us-ness likes hiking.
I don't mean that because my wife likes hiking, I submit to her wishes and go hiking.
I mean that when we go hiking together, the experience of being in nature, of challenging
ourselves physically, and of, of spending quality time with one another is part of who
we are.
Our Us-ness likes hiking, although I would never choose to do it on my own.
In the same way that children are similar to their parents, us-ness is similar to the
partners, but it's representative of it's own identity.
Parents take care of themselves individually, but usually put the best interests of the
child first.
Taking care of a couple relationship is much like taking care of a child.
It doesn't mean that the individuals are inattentive to their own needs, but they recognize
that they also have a responsibility toward the care and nurturing of the relationship.
Just as parents grow as they learn how to raise a child, partners inevitably grow as
they give love and trustworthiness to their us-ness.
If partners learn how to manage the heart of their own conflicts, they will be in a much better position
to look out for the best interests of their us-ness and achieve closeness and intimacy.
In the Restoration Therapy model, Hargrave and Pfitzer have developed 4 phases of healing
that excel in helping couples manage their conflict successfully and arrive at intimacy.
The first phase is Understanding the Pain Cycle.
We must understand the emotional components that drive instability in a relationship.
A couple doesn't have, 10, 20, or 30 disagreements even though they may fight about various things
like parenting, financing or friends.
A couple doesn't have 20 fights in one month, they have one fight 20 different times.
In the Restoration Therapy book, Hargrave and Pfitzer go in the depth into the 4 phases
of healing.
In the first phase of Identifying The Pain Cycle as you learn to identify your own issues,
individual issues surrounding identity and safety, you begin to identify yours and your
partner's coping mechanisms and reactivity.
For example, if we have a couple where the husband feels unloved and shames himself.
The wife feels unsafe and fearful and begins controlling.
Then the husband feels alone and acts invulnerable.
Then the wife feels out of control and begins to act in a perfectionistic manner.
Then then husband feels like he can't measure up and withdraws to defend.
Then the wife acts, the wife feels vulnerable and begins to act in a nagging and judgmental way.
And the destructive cycle repeats itself.
Once you figure out what your particular, what the particular pain cycle in your relationship
is, the second phase of healing is the Peace Cycle, is Understanding the Peace Cycle, Identifying
the Peace Cycle.
In this cycle we identify primary emotions and behaviors that are anchored in love and
trustworthiness like nurturing, self-valuing, balanced give and take, and reliable connecting.
The more we replace the negative behaviors and emotions with positive ones, the more
the individuals feel loved and that the relationship is trustworthy.
The third phase of healing is Moving to Transition.
Even if you identify the pain cycle and the peace cycle, transitioning is a significant
challenge.
It requires constant repetition and rewiring and working to rewire the neural pathways
in the brain.
I go over how to do this in my Therapy video, but the 4 steps to rewire the brain are to
Say What You Feel, Say What You Would Normally Do, Say The Truth, and Make a Different Behavioral
Choice.
The fourth and final phase of healing is Creating Intimacy.
As partners become proficient in transitioning from the Pain Cycle to the Peace Cycle and
they make the, they take the fourth step of rewiring the brain, of making a different
behavioral choice, it creates the opportunity for intimacy and bonding.
When the couple is emotionally regulated, the individuals are now free to explore new
options to create intimacy and to build positive pathways in the brain.
This doesn't mean that we won't revert back to the Pain Cycle.
In fact, we will many times as we are working to build a more loving, just and balanced relationship.
I have gone through these cycles many times in my own relationship, and still do from time
to time.
But the key is that now we have these skills and awareness to transition from the Pain
Cycle to the Peace Cycle, and every time we do, we do it together as a couple, and we
grow and we develop intimacy.
I have also gone through that initial euphoria and obsession of being in love.
It's exciting, intoxicating and fun.
But when that initial euphoria settled, I was still deeply in love, more so at every
turn because I made a commitment to a beautiful person I see as my soulmate.
And in the first few years of our relationship as we were getting to know each other, sometimes
it was rough, but we always figured it out.
And for the last two years we've had these tools to help our marriage, and every time
we dig deep into ourselves, our relationship blossoms and flourishes.
If during those early years, our marriage was a diamond in the rough, today it's a
shiny, polished diamond.
Nothing can scratch it, nothing can break it, except itself.
Whether the diamond of your relationship breaks or endures, is up to you.
A ring is the embodiment of a promise.
A commitment of the heart to love another human being.
In the immortal words of Stephen Covey, love is a verb.
Love doesn't just happen because you walk down the aisle or wait at the altar.
Love happens because you make it happen.
To be able to give you need to believe that you are worthy to love and to be loved.
Love means having the humility to know you can always get better, to know you can improve
your relationship by improving yourself.
There are so many books out there catering to The Personality Ethic.
In researching to make this video, I read one such book, catchy title, catchy concept,
bestseller.
I was so frustrated because it was so on the surface.
The kind of book that gathers dust on the shelves after the initial excitement of following
it's catchy concept.
If we want to have happy, loving, and successful relationships we can't live on the surface,
we have to dig deep within ourselves.
Thin books with big letters and catchy concepts don't always dig deep, even if they mean
well and are sometimes helpful after we've done the real work.
I can only recommend books where at the time of reading them I sense a deep level of integrity
from the author to the subject matter they're addressing, and when the knowledge changes
my life and continues to change it.
The bond we can have with another human being, whether it's the committed and loving relationship
with a spouse or significant other, or the timeless relationship between family and friends:
these are the most precious diamonds to be treasured.
In order for these to be the brightest, the most polished, the highest quality diamonds,
we ourselves have to shine.
When we have a truly loving and effective relationship what we're doing is sharing
our souls with another human being, and that allows to grow more than anything else.
Because loving means looking within ourselves, working to get that polish.
It takes and incredible amount of courage, but it's so worth it.

Brat Jakuba Błaszczykowskiego oburzony po meczu Polski z Japonią. Dosadne słowa! [Wiadomości] - Duration: 2:10.
Jakub Błaszczykowski (32 l.) nie zdążył rozegrać swojego 101. meczu z orzełkiem na piersi
A wszystko przez kuriozalne zachowanie Japończyków, ale i Polaków. Całą sytuację dosadnie skomentował brat piłkarza
Reprezentacja Polski tym razem nie dostarczyła nam zbyt wielu powodów do dumy i radości
Piłkarze w kiepskim stylu przegrali dwa pierwsze mecze w fazie grupowej mundialu
ReklamaTo oznaczało, że wynik ostatniego spotkania, z Japonią, dla Polaków nie miał większego znaczenia
Kadrowicze Nawałki wygrali mecz, lecz niewiele to zmieniło. I tak odpadli z mistrzostw świata w Rosji
W starciu z Japonią Polska okazała się lepsza, lecz ostatnie 10 minut meczu wywołało spory niesmak
Japończycy, którym niska, jednobramkowa porażka pasowała, bo przy takim wyniku i tak wychodzili z grupy, pod koniec spotkania spokojnie rozgrywali między sobą piłkę
Nie wdawali się w pojedynki z rywalami, bowiem nie mogli też złapać żadnej kartki
Polacy ani myśleli im przeszkadzać. Niemiecki "Bild" pisał nawet, że było to "najbardziej oburzające 10 minut w historii mistrzostw świata"
Pod koniec spotkania Adam Nawałka chciał dać szansę Kubie Błaszczykowskiemu na 101
mecz z orzełkiem na piersi. Jednak Japończycy, spokojnie rozgrywający piłkę, nie dawali na to szans
Całą sytuację skomentował także brat Błaszczykowskiego, Dawid. Nie krył swojej irytacji

Wake up. Daddy's home.
Welcome home, sir.
Congratulations on the opening ceremonies.
They were such a success, as was your Senate hearing.
And may I say how refreshing it is
to finally see you in a video with your clothing on, sir.
You!
I swear to God I'll dismantle you. I'll soak your motherboard.
I'll turn you into a wine rack.
How many ounces a day of this gobbledegook
am I supposed to drink?
We are up to 80 ounces a day to counteract the symptoms, sir.
Check palladium levels.
Blood toxicity, 24%.
It appears that the continued use of the Iron Man suit
is accelerating your condition.
Another core has been depleted.
God, they're running out quick.
I have run simulations on every known element,
and none can serve as a viable replacement
for the palladium core.
You are running out of both time and options.
Unfortunately, the device that's keeping you alive
is also killing you.
Miss Potts is approaching.
- I recommend that you inform her... - Mute.
Is this a joke?
- What are you thinking? - What?
- What are you thinking? - Hey, I'm thinking I'm busy.
And you're angry about something.
Do you have the sniffles? I don't wanna get sick.
- Did you just donate... - Keep your business.
...our entire modern art collection to the...
- Boy Scouts of America. ...Boy Scouts of America?
Yes. It is a worthwhile organisation.
I didn't physically check the crates but, basically, yes.
And it's not "our" collection, it's my collection. No offence.
No, you know what? I think I'm actually entitled
to say "our" collection
considering the time that I put in, over 10 years,
- curating that. - It was a tax write-off. I needed that.
You know, there's only about 8,011 things
that I really need to talk to you about.
Dummy. Hey, stop spacing out.
The Bridgeport's already machining that part.
The Expo is a gigantic waste of time.
I need you to wear a surgical mask until you're feeling better.
- Is that okay? - That's rude.
There's nothing more important to me than the Expo.
It's my primary point of concern.
- I don't know why you're... - The Expo is your ego gone crazy.
Wow. Look at that.
That's modern art. That's going up.
- You've got to be kidding. - I'm gonna put this up right now.
- This is vital. - Stark is in complete disarray.
- You understand that? - No. Our stocks have never been higher.
- Yes, from a managerial standpoint. - You are... Well, if it's messy,
- then let's double back. - Let me give you an example.
- Let's move on to another subject. - No, no, no, no.
You are not taking down the Barnett Newman
- and hanging that up! - I'm not taking it down.
I'm just replacing it with this.
- Let's see what I can get going here. - Okay, fine.
My point is, we have already awarded contracts
- to the wind farm people. - Yeah. Don't say "wind farm."
- I'm already feeling gassy. - And to the plastic plantation tree,
which was your idea, by the way. Those people are on payroll...
- Everything was my idea. ...and you won't make a decision.
I don't care about the liberal agenda any more.
It's boring. Boring. I'm giving you a boring alert.

Hey, there he is. It's the bird man.
Now you like the bird. Is that right? Is that your bird? I'm confused.
You said it wasn't, but now it looks like you're best of pals.
You love that bird, don't you? You know what? Take the bird.
Hey!
Take his pillows, too. Both of them.
And his shoes. Take his shoes.
I took your stuff.
How does that make you feel? Do you feel bad?
Good. 'Cause that's how I feel!
We had a contract.
I saved your life
and you give me suits.
That was our deal.
And you did not deliver.
I don't know if you're a genius or a fraud. I don't know what you are.
Something really, really great fell into my lap.
And if it hadn't, I'd be at your mercy tonight.
Now I have a piece of Stark tech that I pimped out myself.
And now your overpriced paperweights
are gonna look like a backdrop to my demonstration.
Do you dig what I'm getting at here?
I don't know if you know this, but I don't speak Russian!
I'm gonna leave now.
I'm gonna go to the Expo. Maybe I'll even get laid.
You see these guys? They're your babysitters.
They are not to be trifled with.
When I get back, we're gonna renegotiate
the terms of our agreement.
And you're gonna make good on our arrangement
because if you don't,
you're gonna be exactly what you were when I found you,
a dead man.
You got that?
Maybe you can watch me on TV.
Dummy, you, can we clean up this mess? You're killing me.
- You know I don't... - Incoming call
with a blocked number, sir.
My phone privilege is reinstated. Lovely.
Coulson. How's the Land of Enchantment?
Hey, Tony, how you doing?
- I double cycle. - You what?
You told me double cycle's more power. Good advice.
You sound pretty sprightly for a dead guy.
You, too.
- Trace him. - Sir.
Now, the true history of Stark name will be written.
Jarvis, where is he?
Accessing the Oracle grid. Eastern Seaboard.
What your father did to my family over 40 years,
I will do to you in 40 minutes.
Sounds good. Let's get together and hash it out.
Tri-State area.
Manhattan and outlying boroughs.
I hope you're ready.
Call trace incomplete.
- Sir... - You want to run some tests, run them.
And assemble the suit while you're at it. Put it together now.
- We are unclear as to the effects... - I don't want to hear it, Jarvis.
That tastes like coconut.
And metal.
Oh, wow, yeah!

Wimbledon Odds 2018: Men's & Women's Betting Favorites | Heavy.com
The third major championship of the tennis season, Wimbledon on the grass courts of the All England Club in London, begins Monday.
If you are rooting for an American to take home a singles championship, your best hope is Serena Williams on the women's side – and she's a +500 second-favorite at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com despite being ranked 183rd in the world.
The only American women to win Wimbledon this century have been Serena and sister Venus, who is +2500 this year.
Serena has won the sport's most prestigious tournament seven times, behind only the legendary Martina Navratilova's nine in the Open era.
Serena has won the event the last two times she played it in 2015-16.
She didn't last year because she was pregnant.
Serena has barely played since the 2017 Australian Open because of that pregnancy and some complications.
That's why the former world No.
1 and all-time women's Grand Slam champion leader has fallen so far in the rankings.
The Wimbledon seeding committee gave Serena a break this year by seeding her 25th despite that ranking because it took her pregnancy and time away into consideration.
The French Open, by contrast, left Serena unseeded.
By being seeded 25th, though, Serena is going to likely face no worse than a No.
8 seed in the third round.
Other than Serena, Wimbledon went according to WTA rankings for its seeds.
Venus, a five-time champion, is No.
World No.
1 Simona Halep has struggled at Wimbledon and is +1000 on the tennis odds.
Defending champ Garbine Muguruza is +700.
On the men's side, well, American tennis has been less than impressive for more than a decade.
The last Grand Slam champion from the USA was Andy Roddick at the 2003 U.S.
Open.
The last American finalist at Wimbledon was Roddick in 2009.
The most recent American winner was Pete Sampras in 2000 when he won his then-record seventh Wimbledon title.
John Isner, the No.
9 seed, has the shortest American betting line this year at +5000 on the 2018 Wimbledon odds.
For the first time since last year's Wimbledon, all of the Big Four are entered in a Grand Slam tournament: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.
They have all appeared in just two of the past nine Grand Slam tournaments because of injury (or choice).
They are the main reason why U.S.
men have been relegated to irrelevance.
Federer is No.
2 in the world but was given the No.
1 seed at Wimbledon and is the +150 favorite on the tennis betting lines to win his ninth title.
He broke a tie with Sampras last year with No.
8 in a straight-sets final win over Marin Cilic (+1200).
Nadal, No. 1 in the world but a No.
2 seed, is +500 to win his third Wimbledon title and first since 2010.
Djokovic, seeded 12th, has been slumping for more than a year and is +650 to win his fourth Wimbledon title.
Murray, meanwhile, has played just a couple of competitive matches since last year's Wimbledon due to hip surgery and is +900.
He's unseeded, meaning he could draw anyone in the first round.
The draw is Friday.

Viviani non si ferma più: è campione d'Italia di ciclismo - Duration: 4:37.
È quasi imbattibile un Elia Viviani così in forma. Nella prova tricolore in linea su strada a Darfo Boario (Brescia) il 29enne veronese del team Quick Step è riuscito in extremis ad agganciare gli otto corridori che nel finale si erano trovati in fuga e poi, soprattutto, ha tenuto benissimo sull'ultimo breve strappo a un paio di km dall'arrivo, con pendenze fino al 17%, arrivando così sul rettilineo d'arrivo insieme con Pozzovivo e Visconti, entrambi della Bahrain Merida
«Ma a quel punto era davvero fiducioso - ha detto dopo il traguardo Viviani -, perché questa è sicuramente la mia migliore stagione e non sono mai stato così in forma»
Lo testimoniano le 14 vittorie nel 2018, compresa quella di oggi, che proiettano Viviani in testa ai corridori con il maggior numero di successi stagionali
«Questo tricolore è un sogno, ne avevo già conquistati su pista ma mai su strada»
E questa volta non è stata una volatona a ranghi compatti, la specialità di Viviani
«Ogni tanto mi succede di inventarmi qualcosa di diverso. Per questo è una vittoria diversa, più bella, che stupisce anche me
Avevo fiducia di potercela fare, ma pensavo di arrivare con un gruppo numeroso, invece mi sono inventato fuggitivo
Sull'ultimo strappo avevo i crampi ma sapevo che se avessi tenuto la ruota di Pozzovivo era fatta»
Così è stato, per la gioia anche del ct Davide Cassani, presente naturalmente alla corsa
«Elia ha vinto da campione, niente da dire. Dopo le quattro vittorie e la maglia ciclamino al Giro d'Italia un altro sarebbe andato al mare, Viviani invece ha messo nel mirino questo Tricolore e così ha corso anche l'Adriatica-Ionica conquistando tre tappe, il modo migliore per preparare il Campionato Italiano»
«Ora spero di onorare questa maglia nella grandi corse a tappe ma anche nelle classiche - ha concluso Viviani - e portare spesso il Tricolore sul podio»
Viviani non sarà però al Tour de France, che partirà sabato prossimo dalla Vandea
Il suo prossimo grande obiettivo diventa ora il Campionato Europeo su strada di agosto a Glasgow, magari per riscattare la beffa della sconfitta per un centimetro da Kristoff nella scorsa edizione a Herning

Do you feel, do you feel it in your bones
Like a shot to the heart we can lose control
What we got, what we got no one has to know
It's you and me living in a, living in a
Living in a world of our own
Do you feel, do you feel it in your bones

Everything I Bought In June 2018 (Post KonMari Method) | June Favourites | Aldi haul - Duration: 11:55.
Time to see what tat I spent a fortune on this month.
I went to Disney World. I went to VidCon.
But very little hit my finances as hard as Aldi.
I am now the proud owner of a whole pile of stuff I didn't even know I needed.
Hurray.
Stick around 'cause I've got lots to show you. Let's go.
[music]
In case you are new here... Hi! I am tracking my spending this year as a way of:
One: Seeing where all my money is going so that I can create a better budget, and
Two: Keeping track of clutter post-Konmari Method.
So we moved into this house about ten months ago and ever since it has just been filling up and up with stuff.
So I track to see how much of that is down to poor decisions on my part.
Spoiler alert: a lot!
I don't include food, utility bills, insurance... any sort of regular living expenses. And I will link everything down below.
Let's get all of the Aldi stuff out of the way, shall we, because that makes up the bulk of my purchases.
I made three or four trips there this month so I'm just gonna lump everything together, show you what I got, and how much it cost.
First, jelly samples for Scout, just for running around splash parks.
And I also got her this Disney activity book. She loves it. Came with all sorts of little princess figures.
And I also got her these two packs of three activity books each.
For Sam I bought him this misting fan because he cannot handle the heat at all. It was part of his Father's Day gift.
For me I bought three of these water bottles. These are exactly what I have been looking for, which is why I bought three of them.
Pretty sturdy glass, they've got the non-slip cover on them, mouth is wide but not too wide, and then it also has this carrying loop.
Plus it's in my favourite colour, so...
I also picked up at this flask so that I can carry water with me when I am traveling because otherwise it would just go all warm and horrible.
I also bought myself these three amigos because I have been sucked into a plant obsession lately.
The glass jars are actually from Dollar Tree. This is how they came.
Then I spotted this strange random thing in the clearance section.
and, truthfully, I could have left it behind but it intrigued me. Haven't tried it yet but I am expecting great things.
For the kind of general household, then, I got two of these big giant rubber tubs, one in yellow, one in black.
The black one is upstairs; I'm using that as a laundry basket.
And this yellow one is going to be used for outdoor toys.
Speaking of the outdoors, and my newfound love for plants, I spotted this tiny little gardening kit.
It was actually the little watering can that attracted me to it because I have been looking for a little small one.
But it also comes with all these handy little tools. It's actually a kid's set but they're pretty sturdy because they're metal.
So yeah, I love this. This was a bargain.
I also bought this galvanised tub. I just thought it was lovely.
Our new house has a big deck out the back so I have, you know, images of us sitting out the back,
this beside us, full of, you know, drinks and snacks. Keeping them cool. I dunno..
I also bought a citrus candle and a pack of citronella candles for, you know, when I am sitting out on that deck
and then the reality of being outside hits me and the insects descend in their droves.
That is the worst thing about warm weather.
A total of $8.50 for these.
And then food storage tubs.
And that's the story of how I single-handedly paid an Aldi employee's wages this month.
OK, not quite, but I did spend about $105 on "unnecessary" stuff at Aldi this month. It is becoming the new Dollar Tree for me.
The next beneficiary of my financial benevolence was... Dollar Tree.
Again, I made several trips this month so I'm just gonna lump them all into one.
The main reason was to refill the tubs that I keep outside.
So I keep getting asked questions about these so, in a nutshell, I keep snacks and drinks outside for delivery workers.
It started just kind of as a holiday thing, around Christmastime when it was snowing and miserably cold,
but I decided to keep it up because it's just a nice thing to do.
It is totally worth the money I spend on it.
I also got this rainbow pinwheel for myself. Just 'cause.
Then I picked up the glass jars that I've already showed you, as well as some packs of stones.
These are to put at the bottom of my plant pots for drainage. I really want to keep these plants alive.
In total, I spent about $38 on all of that stuff.
After that one of our neighbour's kids was rushed to hospital and had to have his appendix out
so I looked after one of her other kids for a bit.
He is really into drawing so, to kind of take his mind off his brother's surgery, I took him to get some new art supplies.
Cost me about $18 but I got a big huge bear hug in return so, again, totally worth it.
Side note: if you are looking for scented markers, because apparently they are "famous" at school,
Dollar Tree, Big Lots, and Staples do not have them. But Target do.
Then we went on holidays. We spent a week in Orlando. My in-laws live there so we were visiting them.
And one of the things we did was we went to the Crayola Experience, which I highly recommend.
$72 for the three of us which, yes, it is quite pricey
but, as a 34-year-old child, I thought it was brilliant.
Scout and I got wax moulds of our hands, and then at the gift shop I picked up one of these Crayola piggy banks.
Can you still call it a piggy bank if it is not in the shape of a piggy? I dunno.
Like, Crayola or crayon bank just doesn't sound right.
And then this cool thing. I actually have no idea what these are called so if you know, enlighten me in the comments.
These actually bring back... well I don't want to say fond memories because I was in hospital at the time
but when I was four I had my tonsils out and in the post-op room the nurse gave me one of these.
Not this exact one but one very similar.
I just remember being so fascinated by it.
I had never seen one before and I was just totally captivated.
and I have been keeping an eye out for one ever since. And Crayola delivered.
I don't know why, because I had never been in hospital before... apart from, you know, being born...
and I was having surgery, but I have nothing but happy memories of that time.
Lots of reading, lots of cool toys, lots of attention, lots of ice cream...
And when I needed to have a little bandaid on my hand, the nurse put one on my teddy bear too.
Now I live in the US where healthcare is, frankly, frightening.
Anyway, Scout got an actual piggy bank – she's saving – and a crayon plushie. Pricey!
Moving on then, after that we went to Disney World.
I didn't know it at the time but my mother-in-law actually paid for that trip.
I knew she had paid for the tickets but I didn't know she had given Sam spending money for us.
And there was I, like, lashing things into my basket like a spoilt child.
Sorry, Aideen, I honestly had no idea.
I obviously won't be including this stuff in my spending total,
but I got this t-shirt. Totally me.
I also got a little L keyring. Cute. And Sleeping Beauty jewelry. For the child in me.
Scout got some stuff too.
At Target I bought Scout a new swimsuit
and one of these fingerling things. I don't know. They're all the rage, apparently.
[switches it on. It start to make noise] Frightening.
Shoes for her too, which she is currently wearing.
When we got back from Florida I went out and bought myself another plant.
This time it was a fiddle leaf fig. I have called it Piglet.
Then it was Amazon's turn. So after the plant extravaganza I bought myself two new plant pots
so that I could re-pot Piglet and Polly in a desperate attempt to keep them alive.
Polly is not doing so well.
I also bought some secateurs to do some pruning, as well as a 3-in-1 soil meter which hasn't arrived yet but hopefully it will tell me why my plants are dying.
And I bought a ring light, which I am currently using right now.
In truth I will probably return it for a larger size.
Then I went to VidCon. What an experience that was!
Most of the money I spent there was on food, which I don't include in these things because I consider them a necessity,
but I did spend about $27 on transport.
In the kind of miscellaneous category, I spent $117 on airport parking,
I spent $50 on a Father's Day present for my dad,
about $45 on a birthday present for a friend,
I spent $25 on a spectator ticket to see Sam and his sister Chloe run the Tough Mudder
(heads up that even just as a spectator it's horrible),
$30 on a domain renewal for a second website I have that I haven't done much with... yet,
and, finally, $470 on another house inspection. We are moving in three weeks!
I did also spend about $2,500 on a new boiler for one of my rental properties in Ireland
and I went back and forth on whether or not I should include it in this list
but ultimately I decided I wouldn't.
Number one, because it was kind of a necessary expense,
and number two, because I was already terrified of how much all of this stuff was going to add up to.
So the grand total, minus the boiler and all the stuff at Disney World that my mother-in-law paid for is...
just under $1,300,
which isn't actually nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Even though I bought a lot of stuff, it was mostly cheap stuff.
And when you break it all down, I only spent about $400 on stuff that is actually in my home.
The rest of it was on stuff like gifts, and experiences, and kind of non-tangible things, and things that can be used up, like the candles.
So not too bad.
Favourites are my plants, this thing from Crayola (whatever it is), my water bottle, and my little gardening set. So cute.
But that is it now, I am done with spending money. Forever.
Or for the foreseeable, at least.
Or until Wednesday when Aldi get in all their new stuff. Damn it!
If you want to save money, I have a short playlist full of my top budgeting tips.
Go check that out right now. And until next time...
Go raibh míle maith agaibh, agus feicfidh mé sibhse go luath. Slán!

JapanFunBox Unboxing! (Japon Atıştırmalıkları) - Duration: 23:32.
Merhaba!
Actually, the channel was supposed to be about art,
but now and again I plan to do irrelevant(silly) videos like this too.
And this is one of them.
The first one.
We will try Japanese Snacks
which Japan Fun Box sent to us.
Let's go to the subject immediately.
(blabbing nonsence)
I got the parcel in a very short time.
For about 7-10 days.
Unlike Loot Crate which took about 2 months. (Sorry Loot)
Pokcy!
What is...?
The box is Family Size!
They have 3 size choices: mini, original and family.
Family is the largest size.
This is the information sheet about what is inside.
So let's start!
First I wanna try Pocky!
İs it white chocolate?
Colorful Shower Pocky
How do I show it?
The famous Pocky you see in animes.
Nandattebayo?? :D
Actually I tried Pokcy before
it did not meet my expectation at that time.
I like it!
White chocolate with sour fruits.
The cameraman deserves one too,
That's unpolite not to share the candy.

Sadly I can't taste it now.
Too many things left
The next one is
Snack with a pig picture on
A snack that is eaten even during elementary school breaks.
Do I have to prepare it too?
I won't be able to taste it too
because it is a ramen snack
which you have to prepare with hot water.
You can see little ramen noodles in
Aha! :D
You will love it!
ChipSSSSSSSSS!!! :D
What flavor?
(I guess I am blind.)
Couldn not find it on the paper.

We have a wierd chocolate here.
İt says: "Almond with lactic acid bacteria."

I love it.
Not gonna translate the awful joke I made.
We have a mickey mose themed product here
Kinder Surprise?
A little broken
The most important part: The Toy!

I didn't like it much. There were much better snacks

You prepare it yourself...Like the previous one
Will try it later
They put four rice crackers

Because everyone probably know what kit kat is.
We have 3 of these. Three different flavors.
Have no idea
Soft
Jelly like
Yokan Ogura
It is a Youkan using soybeans that can be taken in the Japanese Okura Area.
Traditional Japanese Sweet with soybeans.
Should be eaten cold on hot days.
I dunno.
Tastes like sweet bean...
Like a marmalade?
Maybe I should have eaten this cold.
So so.
Did not like it that much
Looks like Hard Candy
Mint candy
Very bitter!
Lastly!

Ce violent incident dans un avion EasyJet à Paris a provoqué l'évacuation de l'appareil - Duration: 4:21.
TRANSPORTS - Les images sont violentes. Ce vendredi 29 juin au soir, une internaute a publié sur Twitter, la vidéo d'un homme molesté par la police à bord d'un avion de la compagnie low-cost EasyJet
On le distingue, à terre, tenu par les forces de l'ordre dans les cris et la confusion générale
"Une arrivée avec 2 heures de retard et un accueil lamentable à bord qui abouti à des débordements de violence traumatisants pour tous les passagers à l'aéroport Charles de Gaulle
En termes d'expérience client, q'en dites-vous EasyJet?", s'indigne Emmanuelle Dérisson dans un court texte accompagnant la vidéo
Le ton monte alors entre l'équipage et certains passagers excédés d'attendre la venue des forces de l'ordre avant un décollage déjà préalablement retardé
Toujours selon l'internaute qui a publié la vidéo, "le chef de cabine a subitement décidé d'éjecter encore plus de personnes de l'avion
" De quoi faire perdre patience à un homme installé à son siège, qui s'en prend alors au chef de cabine, visiblement ébranlé par la situation comme le montre la vidéo publiée sur Twitter
Les images ne permettent pas de constater, avec précision, le degré de violence verbale ou physique de l'individu à l'égard du membre d'équipage
Quoiqu'il en soit, l'homme se fait alors attraper par le cou et maintenir au sol par les policiers arrivés sur place
Une fois les évacuations terminées, l'équipage demande aux passagers encore présents dans l'avion de patienter quelque peu avant un décollage
qui n'aura finalement pas lieu. "À 3 heures du matin ils ont changé d'avis et nous ont débarqué à Charles de Gaulle sans logement ni nourriture", explique Emmanuelle Dérisson au HuffPost
La compagnie, citée par le site Irish Mirror ne revient pas en détails sur les faits
"EasyJet est au courant de cet incident dû à des passagers perturbateurs à bord avant le décollage, ce qui était extrêmement pénible pour l'équipage et les passagers à bord", explique un porte-parole avant de préciser que l'entreprise fera pression pour que des poursuites soient engagées contre l'homme apparaissant sur la vidéo
Et de conclure: "nous faisons tout notre possible pour soutenir les membres d'équipage qui ont été soumis à ce comportement inacceptable
La sécurité et le bien-être de nos passagers et de notre équipage sont la priorité absolue d'EasyJet

DIAMOND BROCADE Knit Stitch Pattern - Duration: 9:06.
The Diamond Brocade Knit Stitch Pattern.
Hi, Guys! I'm Kristen and thank you for
joining me here at STUDIO KNIT where today we're knitting up this
Diamond Brocade pattern. it's a really elegant design created by a simple series of
knits and purls it's an 8-row repeat and it creates this fashionable
textured graphic it's an easy level project perfect for all of you who
completed my ABSOLUTE BEGINNER KNITTING SERIES and we are just using knits and
purls this is not a reversible pattern because the front the right side and the
wrong side look different however it's a really nice clean look where you can
still see that diamond pattern on the back and I would not mind it being
visible in something like a scarf and for our materials we are going to be
using yarn you can use any size you'd like appropriately sized knitting
needles of course you want to have scissors and a tapestry needle on hand
if you'd like to know the exact materials I'm using in this video I will
link to those in the description for you and if you like this pattern and what I
do on my channel please LIKE it up SUBSCRIBE it really helps me out for the
written pattern you can head on over to my website I have a link in the
description below the pattern is written out there for you totally for free I've
also included a knitting chart so if you'd like to start learning how to read
charts then these simple patterns are a great way to start doing that this
pattern is also included in my knit stitch pattern book available for
purchase over on Etsy it's a downloadable PDF that you can print out
you also can have it saved on any mobile device or desktop as well so let's knit
it up we begin with our beloved Slipknot for this pattern we are going to be
casting on our stitches in multiples of eight plus one so we begin by casting on
eight stitches and then you will continue casting on in
multiples of eight until you have the number of stitches that you would like
on your needle it is totally your choice once you have
that it's the plus one it's just one last little stitch to finish up the
casting on just that one right there okay Row one we begin with knit four so
we're knitting four stitches to begin right here on Row one we get that little
tail out of the way and then once we have four stitches we're going to be
knitting between those asterisks and that means we're repeating the pattern
all the way down so we begin with P 1 that is purl one stitch and then this
repeat is k7 so we're knitting 7 stitches and we continue this pattern of
p1k 7 all the way down the row until we have 5 stitches remaining on our needle
and once we get to that point it is P 1 so we're going to bring our yarn to the
front purl 1 stitch and then finish up row 1 right here with 4 knit stitches so
we'll just do it right here 1 & 2 3 & 4
p3 is how we start out Row 2 here so there's 3 purl stitches 1 2 and 3 and
then we're going to take our yarn to the back to knit and you'll see the
asterisks it's k1 p1 k1 p5 so we're knitting one stitch and then we're
bringing our yarn to the front and it is p1 purling one stitch then we are
knitting one stitch and then we are purling five more stitches and this is
the repeat pattern that you do all the way down the row and here on Row 2 we're
going to be doing this repeat until we have 6 stitches remaining on our needle
and at that point it is k1 that's knitting 1 and then we're going to purl
one stitch and then we're going to knit one stitch and then finishing up Row 2
with p3 that is purling three stitches
row three we begin with knitting two stitches so it's one and two and then
the pattern between the asterisks that's the repeat and it's p1k three so we
bring our yarn to the front for one purl stitch that's P one our yarn to the back
and it's knitting three stitches so this P 1 K 3 we are going to keep repeating
that pattern all the way down the row until we have just three stitches
remaining on our needle and then we finish it up with P 1 purling 1 and
knitting 2 stitches here to finish up Row 3 Row 4 we begin with a purl stitch
so you'll have your yarn in the front to begin and then the entire rest of your
row is the repeat so it's K 1 that's knit 1 bringing our yarn around to the
front and we're going to purl 5 stitches 2 3 4 and 5 and then k 1 we're knitting
one stitch and we are purling one stitch and we repeat this all the way down to
the very end of our row and let's see how it is knitting up you can see we're
halfway there we have the little bottom part of the diamond and Row 5 were
purling 1 and then we are knitting a 7 and those are between the asterisks so
that means that we are repeating p1k 7 all the way down the row until we hit
one last little stitches remaining and that will be a purl stitch purl one now
our diamond pattern is tapering back up so row 6 is actually exactly the same as
row for so you start with the purl one and
then you do the stitch pattern between the asterisks right there row seven is
identical to what we did in Row three so again we just start with two stitches
and then we have the repeat of purl one knit three until you get to the last
three stitches and then it's just purl one and it to our last row row eight of
our eighth row repeat we are doing exactly what we did on Row two so you
just follow the pattern all the way until you finish up row eight and here
is how the eight rows our little diamond pattern turns out it looks really pretty
and you just continue repeating those eight rows until your piece is the
length that you desire and I hope you are inspired to knit up this diamond
brocade knit stitch pattern I think it would look stunning if you used it to
knit up a pillow or blanket and even with just one yarn color it would look
really impressive with this texture as part of your home decor please check out
this video right here next I think you'll really enjoy it of course please
make sure you are SUBSCRIBED and LIKE up this video. I will see you next time, Guys.
BYE!
