Happy Halloween, Mompreneurs

Happy Halloween !! My weekend actually began wednesday evening. The only reason I am in school today because I work between 11:30 and 12:30 in the Neckers Lab and after that I am looking forward to work on some problems from Chapter 3 and 4. Review Snake Oil Method and extracting coefficient from Multiple power series.

The new word I saw today is Mompreneurs at Readers Digest Canada. The word's meaning is though obvious has been coined to accomodate the growing number of moms who are launching their own business.

Gnarled : 1. Having gnarls; knotty or misshapen: gnarled branches.
2. Morose or peevish
3. Rugged and Roughened as from old age: the gnarled hands of the carpentar

Blarney: Smooth, wheedling talk; flattery
The origin of the word could be traced back to a stone in Blarney castle, Ireland, said to make those who kiss it proficient in the use of blarney. Queen Elizabeth used it against lord McCarthy "This is all blarney, he never means what he says, he never does what he promises"
"Blarneyed the landloard".
"Had Blarneyed his way from long Island"
"He palavered her into going along"
