A lovely weekend in Cornwall........sun oot :)I was at St Ives with Gus surfing on Saturday morning . The surf was up and the sun had it's hat on(see pics) so good day. Poor kelly has been studying for her last essay, but it does save her cooking the meals. I have been gardening and have attempted to sow some grass in the back garden, but as this is our first garden i don't fancy its chance. Kelly starts her training for the THREE PEAKS challenge tomorrow, she is one crazy Gump( "just kept on runnin"!). I don't know what the training involves but i'm sure she will enjoy it. The free cycle website has been good this week as we managed to get a rockin chair and a slow cooker. The t.v has packed in just as match of the day was about to start, so we need to get a new one but Kelly says we shouldn't bother but i think plasma....mmm!There is a picture of Snoop eyeballing the cows yesterday, not much happens in the village so it could make the local paper.

Blogging Research
I am a doctoral student, studying at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University, Bronx, NY.
I am conducting a research project on the topic of blogging and would like to invite you to participate as a subject in my study. Ferkauf faculty member Dr. Shelly Goldklank is supervising this project. You have been selected for participation in this study as part of a random sample of bloggers.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in completing a questionnaire regarding your use of your blog, as well as an online survey of your personality traits. Additionally, I ask for demographic information, such as age, gender, etc. After I receive your answers to the questionnaire on your blog usage, I will contact you again to review your responses or to ask new questions that arise from your initial responses. The time to complete the entire survey is about 30-50 minutes. This study has been reviewed and approved by the Committee on Clinical Investigations Institutional Review Board at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University.
To participate in this research study you must be at least 18 years old. You must also be a blogger who updates your blog at least weekly for a minimum of 3 months. At least one of your blogs must be public. Your participation in the study is voluntary. Your identity will be kept confidential and data referenced in the final results will be stripped of identifying information. Your name and contact information will be kept in a locked box for the duration of the research study and this same contact information will be destroyed six months after completion of the study. The research study will be completed June 2008 at the latest. Within six months after the completion of the study those subjects interested in obtaining the results may receive them at the end of the study, at which time I may retrieve the names and addresses from the locked file.
There are no direct benefits to all participants in the study. Your completion of the on-line survey will indicate that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms of participation in this study as outlined above.
If you are interested in participate in this study, please email me at chrisbelz@gmail.com. I will then email you a link to the online survey, as well as the questionnaire I have designed.
Thank you again for your assistance with the completion of this research project.
Sincerely,
Christopher Belz, M.A.
