The Blog Drought is Over!
The Head & The Hand Press
It's been a while since we've posted a blog. It was just one small sacrifice to bring you all some really cool projects over the past few months like the Corn Belt Almanac and the Farm Fresh Fundraising Dinner. We'd like to break the drought with a blog helping you out with your extreme case of writer's block, or as I call it, "writer's drought."
If you've never experienced a writing drought (or at least writer's block), you're either lying or you're James Patterson. We've all had those long weeks where we sit down at the desk, fingers ready to go on the home row, and then, like the last twelve times you tried, nothing happens. It's an interesting problem for a writer, either if some of you may write on your free time or if writing is paying the rent. All of this stress can leave you feeling as listless and unmotivated as left-shark. So what does a passionate writer do when it just doesn't feel right? How does a writer manage when that feeling lasts weeks, months, possibly years?
As someone who experienced this first hand, it can be pretty depressing. There was nothing more I wanted than to be a writer. I told everyone that asked that I wanted to write books when I grew up. I was given the "Most likely to be a best selling author" honor in high school that I hung right over my desk to motivate me. I spent four years of college trying to improve my skill. During college, though, I stopped accumulating actual writings. Instead I had only numerous documents for failed stories containing a sentence or two...a whole paragraph if it was a good day. On a bad day, I'd spend more time balancing finances to see how long I could last in a micro-home.
Just like any other medical issue I have, I took my problem to the internet. Most articles gave the same, overly positive advice of "just write anything" or something more adventurous like, "go for a walk!" I sat down to "just write anything" and nothing happened. Walking was nice, but I didn't exactly solve the problem. With the internet essentially useless in my efforts, I tackled the issue from a different angle. My thinking was that if I had a problem, just like any illness, I had to beat it at the source. It wasn't hard to figure out why I wasn't writing when I thought about it: I was afraid of it. I was afraid of failing. I was afraid of my work not being taken seriously. I was afraid I was lied to my whole life, and I wasn't as good as people told me. I only needed to take a few steps to break out of my drought and let inspiration finally pour it's life-giving waters over me.
Read the books you loved as a kid.
When I felt like I lacked inspiration, I wondered what gave me so much enthusiasm and drive to be a writer. It certainly wasn't reading the same Jane Austen novel over and over like I was forced to in college. I think any small child would turn and run from the life of a novelist if they were required to read Pride and Prejudice more than three times. No, it wasn't until I was bored one day and picked up A Series of Unfortunate Events again when, for the first time in a long time, I felt that warmth you get from a good book. Instead of studying the simplicity and intelligence of the writing and feeling discouraged, I finally said to myself "This is what I want to do." After I finished the first book, then the second, then the very last, I was scrambling for that feeling again. I pulled out all my old favorites from my shelves. From the hordes of books about unicorns and dragons to more young adult novels like Holes and Walk Two Moons, each book reminded me more and more of why I wanted to write and each book left me with the same feeling they did when I was a kid; to write a book that made someone feel the same way.
Don't ask, make your friends read your work.
If the content and quality of your writing is what you're worried about, get a second opinion. Right now I bet you're thinking about the first person you shove your work at in a desperate plea for help. Sometimes all you need is that reassurance that you're not so terrible after all. Plus, a set of fresh eyes is good for catching little mistakes you might have overlooked. If you're stuck writing because you're nervous about someone finding your ideas silly or too confusing, have someone read it! Why write a story to have no one see it? Don't be afraid to be specific and ask about problem areas, either. Their advice will help it grow to exactly what you want it to be. Asking my friends to read my work isn't as close to asking as it is to politely informing them that the document is already in their inbox. Criticism is important to me. Round-table critique days were my favorite: everyone's grade depended on giving at least one bit of advice to everyone else's work, most importantly, mine. Even now, I still have those comments saved to look back to when I'm stuck.
Don't worry, just write.
Yes, I understand this sounds the same as "just write anything" but it's not (totally). You have tasked yourself with completing a work of art, and just like any painter or musician, you have your own unique style that will set you apart from everyone else. "Just write anything" isn't going to help you. You shouldn't waste precious time on writing something that isn't honest to who you are. Write what you know. Write the way only you know how. Promise me, it's going to start out feeling awkward and messy but once you're in the swing of it you won't want to stop. Soon the words will come to you and it will feel just the same as it did before.
I read that drinking water can help too, but you should be staying hydrated anyway.
Writer's drought is no-joke. It's a tough world out there. It can be dry and hot and barren and all you want anyway is some water- so drink some!

If you don't have a car but would still like to have a look around the area, our tours will be just right for you. We can organize a tour of the Perche region, the Loire Valley, old town Le Mans or Chartres. We can design a tour based on several themes: gardens, antique shopping, food producers and local markets.

If you do have a car, we can provide you with maps, suggestions and itineraries. There are wonderful sites to visit in every direction:
South: The Loire Valley, especially Blois, Amboise and some of the major châteaux, such as Chambord, Cheverny and Chenonceau are all easy day trips. Also, the less well-known Loir is even closer and has many beautiful villages, castles and gardens to explore.
West: Le Mans has a beautiful old town which boasts the most well preserved Roman walls in all of France. There is, of course, the famous 24 hour race circuit and car museum to visit. Beautiful gardens, a zoo and many other historic sites are nearby.
North: Many of the prettiest villages of the Perche are just up the road from us. This is a fabulous corner for antique shopping. There are some lovely restaurants and cafes as well. The native Percheron horses are famous, and the area features several equestrian centers.
East: Chartres Cathedral is one of the most significant and attractive in France. The story behind its miraculous rebuilding after a fire in the 12th century is the stuff of legend. It has a famous labyrinth and some of the most spectacular stone carving anywhere. For Proust fans, a visit to Tante Léonie's house at Illiers Combray is a must.

This paper explores the dynamic behavior of a Romer-style endogenous growth model, analyzing how changes in tax rates affect government revenue in the short run and the long run. I show that in this environment lowering taxes on financial income is unlikely to stimulate tax revenue in the long run and has modest effects on the tax base, contrary to some other studies of the dynamic response of revenue to tax rates. Calibrations of the model that suggest Laffer curve effects can be substantial require implausibly low values for the elasticity of substitution between varieties of intermediate goods. For more plausible parameter values, I find that around 20% of a tax cut would be self-financing due to an expansion in the tax base.
Thanks to Chad Jones, Lorenz Kueng, Philippe Wingender, and seminar participants at Colgate University for comments.

Review of My Name is Asher Lev, Playhouse on Park
The clash of cultures is central to the drama of My Name is Asher Lev, adapted by Aaron Posner from the novel by Chaim Potok. Now playing at Playhouse on Park, directed by Joseph Discher, the story shows how a driven painter, Asher Lev, raised by orthodox Jewish parents, struggles to be understood by his people while becoming an artist in "the goyische style." He paints nudes and crucifixions, subjects which are seen as a betrayal if not outright blasphemy.
Told by Asher himself in direct address to the audience, the story is fraught with disappointments and hopes, success and failure. Much of the early going has Asher recreating his viewpoint as a child, not really understanding why what he's doing should be a cause for conflict. The play opens with the elder Lev appalled by his son's drawings of "naked women" and blaming his wife for taking the boy to the art museum. We see how his mother and father are confused by Asher's talent, recognizing his gift as a child but seeing little purpose for it. As Asher grows older, his father becomes even more dismissive, seeing drawing as a distraction from the important matters of life. The elder Lev serves the Jewish community's leader, or Rebbe, and in the orthodox view only what the Rebbe approves can be meaningful.
At last, in preparation for his Bar Mitzvah, Asher has a meeting with the Rebbe himself who is more benign than might be expected (especially since Asher, as a child, drew a rather unflattering caricature of him). The Rebbe assigns the teenaged Asher to Jacob Kahn, a successful Jewish painter who becomes Asher's mentor. The most lively aspects of the story are found in Asher's apprenticeship to Kahn, whom he gradually comes to surpass as an artist. As Kahn says, he doesn't take on a pupil unless he can "make a David," referencing Michelangelo's famous masterpiece. Asher lives up to that challenge, it seems, but manages to create a serious affront to his parents' sensibilities.
A difficulty in Playhouse on Park's production is Jordan Sobel's performance as Asher. He seems too likeable and guileless, so forthright and naïve, that one is hard-pressed to see him as the major artist he becomes. He seems to remain the wide-eyed child amazed by his own gift and barely able to consider how he should regard the feelings of others or his larger obligations. We might see him as a willful child or as the possessor of a talent so large it can't be suppressed, but all the darker elements of the story—having to do with Asher's sense of his mother's afflictions—are rarely given sufficient dramatic weight. The notion that Asher's art is an invocation of Sitra Achra, or the evil side of human nature, is mentioned as if a school lesson outgrown.
Of the three actors—Sobel plays Asher, all other male roles are played by Dan Shor—Stefanie Londino fares best in making Asher's mother, Rivkeh, take on dimensions that exist beyond Asher's view. Otherwise, the characters all seem to be painted entirely in the colors he sees them in: the Rebbe is kindly and stern; Asher's father is at times a caricature of bullying indifference or of mystified concern; Shor is best as Kahn if only because the artist is mercurial in his approach to his pupil, at times challenging and harsh, at other times fond and encouraging. We sense that Asher never quite grasps the full weight of Kahn's relation to art.
The tone of the whole is of a sentimental recollection in which the parents seem touchingly or comically out of date; the difficulties between the parents, having to do in part with Rivkeh's will to continue her deceased brother's work, come across as a minor subplot. The gravitas that Potok employs as the tone proper to the weighty struggle of religion and art finds, in this adaptation, a much more genial portrayal.
Discher's vision of the play is not aided by David Lewis' scenic design in the Playhouse thrust space. Much of the action would benefit from more freedom of movement, but in the early going many scenes occur around a table toward the back of the stage. Some of the seats in the wings are forced to regard these scenes through easels set on either side of the stage. The later scenes gain from taking place outside the Lev home, though, for a play that moves around in time and place, dictated by Asher's memories, the action has a static quality.
In the end, the story of Asher Lev is of an artist trying to see the truth about himself. Since we can't see his work, we can only view him in terms of his interactions with others. Though he seems satisfied with the story he tells, his audience may find themselves less so.

in the midst of transformation…
For Fall 2018, I learned something about depth. Myths is my brain child, and my brain is naturally introspective, naturally intellectual. But underneath thought is feeling, is knowing, is something so simple that it can't be hurried through reading, through effort, through consciousness. It can only be remembered through sitting in darkness. Sitting still for a few moments after you wake up in the morning and letting the traces of the unknown mystical dream world seep into your consciousness. What if the dream world is the world where the true self lives: without boundary, expectation or the binds of societally-imposed logic. What does this mean about how we define ourselves?

Friends, Would you come with me today? Across time and culture, beyond distraction and schedules that enslave us? I send this dramatic monologue to you today——the words I will speak this Sunday in our service. Maybe they will help us enter into that day?
I was there that day. There were so many people there---- but it wasn't that. Jerusalem, what a city it is for people and crowds!! And it wasn't even the procession, the parade. These last two years-----there have been so many parades, trails of stumbling, lisping, broken, drooling people rolled, pushed, carried, slung hoisted to him. Yeshua. No one would dare to believe in healing----except it was happening. To EVERYONE! Even the sorriest among them . .. .
Everyone became like----new born! Legs straightened and muscles strung right. Women who were mute----now they are singing and adding a little dance too!! And crippled men are running and leaping!!
So—yes, we've been watching these parades for many months now.
But this time--- they finally saw WHO he was! Everyone ran to pull down branches from the trees. Whih means----Victory! Triumph! When was the last time we were victors of anything? And we all took off our cloaks, our outer robes---and just laid them at his feet and at the feet of the donkey he was riding.
We knew what we were doing because ------Finally we all saw it. He was the king!! He was the one we've been waiting for since . ….. since we were a people.
And the singing! Everyone was happy! We are not ----we have not been happy people. But this day!
Children singing and old men, my grandpa, the young mothers----everyone! Cheering laughing shouting! Hosanna. And you know what "Hosanna" means, yes? It means, Please Save us! Save us!
Finally----a king to lead us! To lead our people. We can be a nation again—not servants and slaves to the Romans …
And we said---we turned to one another, all my friends, my neighbors, my cousins, we were all standing and shouting together, and we said, "We will follow him anywhere—- even into battle!"
But we didn't.
We could not guess what would happen next. And if we had, no one would have been there that day. But I saw it. How those same people---not all of them, but some of them---my neighbors, my relatives, my uncle and cousins----they were there just days later. How many days? They were shouting again. Just yelling this time—not singing, and not waving palm branches but waving their fists and shouting——
How did this happen?? From O Save Us Our King, Our King!
To CRUCIFY Him, blasphemer!
But maybe I know. They wanted a king, a MAN king who acted like a god.
They didn't want a king who WAS God.
They never really wanted God at all.
I wonder how many of us want God to enter our world and become king over our lives? We think, foolishly, that we will give up too much.
But here is what I know now: that day of singing and celebration and triumph was true.
And real, more real and more true than anybody every knew:
"Ho-sanna!! Praise to the King! O Save us!!" we shouted.
And then very quietly,
through lashes, fists and nails
He did.

The 2011 Toyota Camry has a long list of virtues, but they're virtues that don't necessarily impress auto reviewers. The Camry offers a spacious, comfortable interior and is tuned for a smooth ride -- but that means it's sluggish in the corners, and its base four-cylinder engine is not particularly quick. Motor Trend calls it, "The Wal-Mart of family cars," which is both a compliment and an insult -- it's popular and predictable, but not particularly exciting. In previous years, reviewers have praised its bulletproof reputation for reliability. But in the wake of Toyota's string of recalls, many don't know what to think of its quality. For Toyota loyalists, the 2011 Toyota Camry may represent a great buying opportunity, especially since Toyota has been discounting the Camry with heavy incentives in recent months. Be sure to check for current Toyota Deals for details. Others, however, may find that the Camry is not the automatic answer it used to be for buyers looking for a reliable car they didn't have to think much about.
Other Cars to Consider. The Affordable Midsize Car class is much more competitive than it was just a few years ago. Midsize car shoppers today will find many excellent family cars that might meet their needs. Those looking for a more exciting ride might want to consider the sharp-cornering Mazda6, or the agile Ford Fusion which also boasts Ford's excellent SYNC infotainment system. Buyers attracted to the Camry's smooth ride might want to test drive the 2011 Hyundai Sonata as well. It offers a relaxed ride similar to the Camry's, but has one of the highest fuel-efficiency ratings in its class, and more interior space than the 2011 Camry.
The Camry was last redesigned for the 2008 model year. Some material used in this review may refer to earlier model years that are substantially similar. The Camry is available in a stripped-down base model, a better-equipped LE edition, a sport-tuned SE model and a top-of-the-line XLE trim level. The 2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid, a close variant of the gas-only Camry, is reviewed separately.
Shoppers might want to note that 2007 through 2010 Camry sedans were included in a pair of massive and highly-publicized recalls due to allegations that a Camry, under certain conditions, could accelerate even when its driver wasn't touching the gas pedal. A Toyota spokesperson tells us that the 2011 Camry's accelerator pedal is a new design that's not affected by the recalls. The 2011 Toyota Camry is also one of the first Toyotas to feature a new brake override system, which ensures that the engine can't cause the car to accelerate while the brake pedal is being pressed. There have been no allegations of unintended acceleration regarding the 2011 Toyota Camry, but it has only been on the market for a very short time.

Whistler, BC
I often get approached from brands to shoot their products and post them on my Instagram account. Most of the time I deny opportunities, mostly because I am a photographer, not an Instagrammer. That said, when Corona approached me to shoot for their new campaign promoting finding your beach in the winter time, I was intrigued. It wasn't until they hit my soft spot and told me that we'd be flying in a helicopter, when I gladly accepted the gig.
I had the pleasure of calling up one of my best friends and my girlfriend to say: "Hey, do you want to join on a free trip to Whistler? We'll cover food, hotel, snowboarding... oh and you can come in the helicopter."
So the three of us drove up to Whistler and were greeted at our hotel with a bucket of cold Coronas and some lift passes to Whistler Blackcomb. Corona made sure to really cater our experience both on the mountain and our après-ski.
After our day of snowboarding, we took the gondola up to Roundhouse Lodge, where the helicopter was waiting for us...
Our crew took off from Roundhouse, and headed North to a peak on Rainbow Glacier. We landed and took in the panoramic views that surrounded the mountain top before settling down into some beach chairs that overlooked the mountain range below. It was a good time to crack a beer.

mon 7 july 2008… Greenfield
So, not much time today. Animals still to tell about, and Nookie, and so on. But i'm sick. I've mentioned before the teeming hordes of babysitters who watch what I eat, when and where I pee, what I do and where I go. Matthew and his bloody gang of pretend heroes. Anyway, my sickness began at 10 last night, and by midnight I could no longer lie down, couldn't sit because I have no soft chair to sit in, and sitting in my hard chair was laughable with so much pain. So I took my illness out to the sidewalk to pace in an upright position, to breathe some slightly cooler air (though what I needed was air conditioned air). I was getting a little bit shocky too, and sometimes walking helps avoid the worst of the shock, and also the passing out. I was on that sidewalk. She didn't ask me if I were okay or if I needed anything (in her livingroom she had both a soft chair and an air machine, but these weren't offered to me). She nagged about my sweater hanging on her fence. I did not ask her directly if I could sit in her air conditioned livingroom in a soft chair, because she would most likely have given me a ration of demented talk, as she has in the past. There's another person in the house she gives those rations to too. I will not in any circumstance approach any person who I know absolutely will give me a spate of irrationality. I've had to take that crap all my life,from many an irrational, dizzy-spinning mind, and about 3 years ago I decided that I don't approach no such whirly brains no more.
So Anne don't get no help offered, even in diabolical pain that makes me go into shock. I'm still quite sick, 10 hours after it started and I began swallowing prednisone. Didn't use enough. Sometimes it's hard to tell how much pred a particular attack is going to need. So I have to abort journaling missions early this day in deference to the screaming pain and desolate exhaustion of my cells. Slán le na laethe bhí.
Update 27 July 2009: This was July 7 last year, and Matthew had only told me on the 2nd that people wanted to damage me. By the 7th he may have told me that it was feds from Burlington who were protecting me, but on that one I don't recall the exact date. My memory is very good, but it can't hold everything. But in spite of the newness of this ugly information, I had already been watching people watch me since March, when all the time I thought they were working for the DMH. So the anxiety and anger had already been building a good while, and in this situation of no information and lots of guessing, anger, and anxiety, I pulled many people into the group of my babysitters who didn't belong there. And as far as a house across the street from my rented bedroom goes, people often watched me from the second floor, pulling the curtains aside just a tiny bit. They watched me too often. All they ever saw was me smoking on the sidewalk. Why did they have to keep looking at that? On July 2nd there finally came a smidgen of information: there were people who were real big and real wealthy who wanted to hurt me.
And the periodic irrational, unkind outbursts of my landlady were just another stress. Why has this happened to me again? My last landlady, the one who destroyed my life, was irrational and mendacious and unpredictable and frightening. Why was this happening again? Why does it seem that lunatics are drawn to me like moths to flame?
I'm renting the same room again from the same woman, and this time it's easier because she has a diagnosis and is reading books about her condition. It's all out in the open, we talk about it. We talk about my depression and anxiety and Asperger's. There are still some terrible days, and they still affect me the same way they did last year, but at least now the cards are on the table. And she let me rent the room again, for which I'm grateful. All the social service clods have to offer is places where I have to share bedrooms with other people, which makes me just about homicidal.

WATCH: From the Street to a Home Magpie's Story
There is nothing like the love between a boy and his dog. Sometimes that love is even greater when that dog is adopted. This video shows how that love begins from the point of view of the dog. Magpie starts his journey to a new home on the streets of LA. He finally finds a home after he is adopted by a family. It is truly a heartwarming video from the Animal Human Society. I didn't know that dogs were such amazing directors!

At only 27.7mm thick at its widest point, the FS37 is remarkably slim for a camera sporting an 8x optical zoom lens, making it perfect for slipping into a pocket or handbag for social gatherings or nights on the town.
A two-tone finish has been applied to the metal body, which is typical of Lumix cameras. The silver lens surround protrudes from the body by about 4mm and a chrome finger grip is located on the front. This grip is very close to the edge of the camera, making it difficult to use to gain any extra purchase over the camera body. Despite its light weight, the metal body feels very solid and durable.
Due to the touch screen interface, the FS37's rear is clear of any buttons and the camera looks very sleek and stylish as a result. Only a narrow space has been allowed to rest your thumb to the right of the three inch screen. This can occasionally result in the touch screen being activated accidentally if due care isn't taken.
At 230,000 dots, the screen resolution isn't the highest currently available, but it is clear enough for evaluating images and menu text is easy to read, if a little chunky in appearance. In bright light the screen can be quite difficult to see clearly, due to the mirror-like touch-sensitive finish and its tendency to become covered in fingerprints during use. A small stylus is supplied, which attaches to the wrist strap. Operating the touch interface is much easier with this, as the touch targets are quite small and unresponsive when using fingers to navigate the menus.

Great game! Can't figure how to heal (if there is a way..)
Thanks! There is no way to heal :)
Like it!
Controls were great. I'd consider putting the UI outside of the play area, as it's a bit in the way where it is.
But the punching and rock throwing is great :)
I played for a while and the Evolute never seemed to kick in, and I wasn't dying,so I called it a day.
Nice effort man!
Whoa, good work, very fun and in theme =O
Very well polished and enjoyable :)
by far my favorite game I've played so far. Well done
pro: greate idea, good music and visuals
contra: can't heal ;)
This is good fun, combining resource collection with a top-down action mechanic was a nice idea. Plays well and there is potential here to develop this into something really interesting by adding a bit more variety and making it a little more challenging.
Good game, but very hard! The shooting and collecting were fun. The music and sound are great. I tried three times and got to the evolution where you turn into a redcoat. Unfortunately I was unable to beat it, because I really want to see how far it goes.
Some things I didn't realize right away:
- You can hold down the fire button
- You can hide in your house at night
Some negatives:
- No pause
- It's tough to check how much you need to evolve because you have to mouseover, which is difficult in battle
- Evolve didn't seem to work by pressing 'E', I had to click it with the mouse.
Nice game had a really good feel to it :D
That was great, I really enjoyed it, and the music was nice.
Great work! The music fits so well!
It would be good if the requirement for the first evolution was a bit lower. That's the most boring phase of the game, where you move slowly and the enemies just walk around randomly instead of attacking you.
It's interesting that evolving as soon as you can doesn't seem to be the best option. On my first play, after evolving three times I quickly got killed by the super-fast red zombies. On my second, I evolved twice to get a better weapon, collected money and resources for a while, then finally clicked the evolute button when I was getting low on health and I was instantly taken to the ending screen.
It took me a while to realize that I could see the resources required for the next evolution by hovering over the "Evolute" button. Other than that its a nicely polished and fun game.
Really good game, had a lot of fun playing it :)
Kept trying to hit E for awhile before realising i needed to click the button to evolve. Would let the E key also trigger an evolve. Other than that, great fun!
couldn't play (no windows) but from the gameplay video it looks pretty solid.
The night was nicely done, was about to close the game when it occurred and gave me an incentive to play further.
I was also confused by the "e" button looking like a "e" key. I think the first level should be lower on gold, because monsters are especially slow to kill on this level. I also managed to game the system by not upgrading my house. I was able to easily get the wood and stone while no dangerous monsters was aiming at me and then starting to upgrade when I was 200/200/200. Maybe monster levelup should come each day instead of each upgrade ( with shorter day ). I played only 2 games but spent time and really enjoyed them, that's a very addictive entry. Oh and the Music is awesome, it would just be perfect with a loop instead of a end+silence+restart.
Very fun. But goes from easy to very difficult once those crazy red zombies start appearing. Days seem a bit too long but that's okay I guess.
The graphics were awesome :D, music worked well, and all in all it was great. Lacked a bit more variety but oh well, you made it in 48 hours so it's perfectly understandable.
Excellent mood, graphics and sound. The gameplay seemed really polished too, although it felt like a little bit of a grind at times. The increasingly aggressive zombies each time you leveled up, and the use of 'nighttime' were great.
Very addictive xD nice work man i like the sound and the ambient... well 2D ambient :D and the idea is cool.
A bit too much grinding at times though.
Also I noticed you can't fire arrows if you are standing too close to something or the edge of the screen.
nice game, i really enjoyed playing it :)
That was awesome, would have like some sort of way to heal :/ The music, graphics and feel of the game were all really cool.
Somewhat grindy, but generally OK :).
OMG #23rd :) Thank you so much for your ratings and comments!

hope everyone had a great christmas!!!! i'm gonna keep this one short & sweet so i can get back to my holiday break. this is the perfect little bite sized appetizer for any party, like a new years party! whether you are hosting a new year's eve bash, a new year's brunch, or staying in & want to eat something fancy, try serving these little bite sized phyllo tarts. i have made these in both a mini muffin tin & a regular muffin tin. the mini muffin tin makes for a better one-bite hors d'oeuvre, but both will work! you can also make these ahead of time & re-heat right before serving to crisp up that phyllo again.
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons butter + 1/2 cup melted butter, for brushing phyllo pastry
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups wild mushrooms, thinly sliced (i used a mixture of shiitake & baby white mushrooms)
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 package phyllo pastry sheets
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (or asiago)
- in a sauce pan on low heat melt garlic, butter (two tablespoons) & olive oil. add the mushrooms, onions, thyme, salt & pepper. cook until the onions fully caramelize, about 30 minutes. set aside to cool.
- layer 8-10 sheets of phyllo pastry, brushing each sheet with butter. leave a damp cloth over the phyllo dough not in use so it doesn't dry out. cut the layered phyllo into 2-inch squares & place into muffin tins.
- fill each muffin tin with a tablespoon of filling. sprinkle with parmesan cheese flakes & additional thyme.
- bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.

LP includes a coupon for a full download.
Merge tells us:
Shattered will be Reigning Sound's first album for Merge and the first full LP by the group since 2009'sLove and Curses.
The band's principal songwriter/member is Greg Cartwright, who's been leading the shifting cast of characters since 2001. You may be familiar with some of the band's work, as this album is preceded by five studio efforts as well as numerous EPs and live records. Or perhaps some of Greg's other projects have been on your musical radar: The Oblivians, Parting Gifts, Compulsive Gamblers, 68 Comeback, Deadly Snakes, Detroit Cobras.
Regardless, as far as Reigning Sound is concerned, this is as good a place to start as any because through many line-up changes and mood swings, the central, constant feature is the way Greg writes songs. This particular embodiment of the band includes longtime keyboardist Dave Amels, who joined the band seven years ago when Reigning Sound recorded an album, consisting mostly of Cartwright's songs, with former Shangri-Las lead singer Mary Weiss.
Dave proved to be key in putting together the current line-up as well. About three years ago, Greg was asked to make a promotional EP for Scion. Recordings were set to take place in Nashville where he had lined up two local friends to round out the band, but as fate would have it, both had to bow out at the last minute. Luckily, Mike Catanese, Benny Trokan, and Mikey Post—Dave Amels' bandmates in Brooklyn soul group The Jay Vons—were up for the task. The four flew to Nashville, learned the songs, and recorded them with Greg in a couple of days. Thus was born the group that you hear on Shattered. They've been touring and playing together ever since, and Shattered proves that the musical union is both exciting and consistent for fans of Cartwright's songwriting.
The album was recorded at Daptone's Brooklyn studio (where drummer Mikey works in the office) and masterfully engineered by Wayne Gordon. The recordings are warm and punchy, a mixed bag of rockers, ballads, and something in between. There are only 11 songs on the album, but the band reckons it's just right.
This product was added to our catalog on Monday 14 July, 2014.

In 2008 I started having some mild abdominal pain. It wasn't often, once a month or less, but it would take me out for the afternoon when it did happen. Slowly, over time, the frequency and severity of the pain increased until it was severely affecting me for two weeks or more per month, every single month. Since the pain cycle seemed to be linked to my monthly cycle and was located primarily in my pelvic region we headed in the obvious gynecological direction. An ultrasound revealed that I had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
So what does a diagnoses of PCOS mean? For many, and for me, it means a struggle with weight. The medical field isn't clear on whether the PCOS contributes to weight issues or if the weight issues contribute to PCOS, though they generally find that weight management helps with pain management. It also means that I would have a lot of problems with fertility. The first specialist that I saw basically summed up his results with, I can't help you, unless you want to get pregnant, because if you want to get pregnant you're going to need help medically.
When I met Neil he was very clear at the beginning that he did not want to have any more children. He had four daughters, who at the time were in their late teenage years. I chose to continue the relationship knowing that it would mean no biological children for me. It would be logical to think that since I wasn't planning on having children anyway, a diagnoses of PCOS and learning that fertility would be either difficult or impossible wouldn't be a big deal. I myself was surprised to learn I was wrong about that assumption. I was devastated. There was just something so incredibly difficult about knowing that part of what makes me a woman, part of what makes me, me, is broken. I'm crying as I write this. I still find it weird that it's so emotional, but it is. Something in me is missing. I cannot imagine how women who plan to have children feel when they receive news that fertility would be difficult or impossible for them.
Through this journey I learned a little more about hormones than I had known before. Although I like to research my choices, I'm not necessarily real "sciency" and so I don't always pay attention to something until it actually matters to me. I had never really realized before what a critical role hormones play in our lives and our health. As is common as well, since receiving my own diagnoses, I've met so many other people who have received their own diagnoses related to issues around their hormones. I don't know if the concerns with hormones are on the rise, or if my awareness is on the rise. Perhaps it's both. One thing I do know is that it is sad! This interruption to hormones causes a lot of challenges for people in their lives. People who want to have babies cannot, boys with too much estrogen are being severely bullied because they have breasts, women are experiencing challenges to their self confidence because they are dealing with facial hair and mood and behavior is affecting by waves of hormones that are off kilter.
Something I hadn't even known would be an issue is the ingredients in the products in my home. So many of the ingredients in our soaps, kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms have chemicals in them that affect our hormones. When I started looking at the ingredients in some of the things in my home and saw how many of them carry consequences to our hormones I felt absolutely set up! I felt like instead of me getting to choose whether or not I had children, Proctor and Gamble or Johnson & Johnson was choosing whether or not I'd get to have children! I have difficulty even describing how many ways this makes me mad. We have a whole planet of people that are good people, who want the best for their children, who want to be good moms, dads and caretakers of their homes and we're being sold a crafty bill of goods that is ruining our future! Absolutely ruining it!!!
As I said, I'm not sciency. Dr. Haggerton does a much better job of describing the science than I do. I've attached a video that he did recently that gives us hope. Hope of being able to take back our choices and make them our own again, instead of some company out for a buck making our choices for us.
If you would like more information about how to switch out your products for safer alternatives you can contact me here. I cannot describe how empowered I feel by be able to make these choices for my family! I feel like I've slayed the monster of deceit that we're being faced with (I know, that sounded corny, but I truly do feel a little self satisfied HA each time I spray my cleaner on something lol).
Ya'll take care and God Bless!

I didn't know how to be a mother when my son was first born. And that was ok, because no one just 'knows' how to be a parent … we are all parents-in-progress. I didn't expect perfection from myself, and nor did society around me. It was ok to just do my best, to give myself space and time, and permission, to make mistakes, to learn, to grow…to be always in the process of becoming a better parent.
I didn't know how to be a mother when my son and I first became separated. And that should have been ok, because no one knows how to parent anyway, let alone parent from a distance. Yet, I expected perfection from myself, and so did society around me. It wasn't ok to just do my best. The time I've had with my son has been so limited that I haven't ever wanted to acknowledge the fact that I have, once again, had to give myself space and, however limited in supply it may be, time, to make mistakes, to learn and to grow.
I've been so painfully aware of not meeting society's expectation of what a parent is supposed to be, that I have often neglected to embrace the possibilities that exist for me as a distance parent.
This blog is about re-learning and re-becoming. It's about once again recognising myself as a mother. It's about giving myself space and permission to to make mistakes, to learn, and to grow into this different kind of mothering. Because now that I realise I don;t have to be perfect, I can be good.

I do strange things when I'm tired. I had a doner kebab last night. An actual doner kebab. Smothered in chilli and garlic sauce, all the salads and a couple of chillies. MustBeTheMummy is on her 5.2 and I couldn't face cooking solo.
It's been tough five days. Hero has been teething and everything has become a fuzz. I have no clue what time of day it is and I'm willing the clock to strike 6.50pm – it's when MustBeTheMummy arrives home from work. It's the time I can crash for a couple of hours.
The whole routine has gone out of the window and the little man isn't bothered about sleeping. Last night we watched Emmerdale (I don't even watch Emmerdale) and a bit of Women's Football before retiring to the crib. Another two hours later Hero went to sleep. FOR TWO HOURS before screaming the house down.
The days seem to be ok but the nights are a mixture of surreal moments and endless shrieking. Last night, at around 3am, my JD Sports shopping basket had two pairs of Adidas Originals ZX Flux, a Nike Club French Terry Tracksuit and two pairs of Nike Air Max 95 (In blue and grey). I reached checkout but stopped myself spending nearly £400.
JD Sport? sports apparel? Do I look 14? I've officially gone mad.
It's a phase. We've been here before with our daughters. Back then I was at work and had no clue what my wife was going through when I used to rock up at 7pm after spending a 'hard day' at work. I salute you MustBeTheMummy. I salute all stay at home mums and dads who have been through this. You are amazing.

This has been one epic Women's History Month. Among the highlights, the Women's March and more recently, real-time cause to action formations in protest of gun violence where a majority of participants were women and students.
We wanted to end Women's History Month with a recommended thought-provoking read, Invisible No More – Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color by Andrea Ritchie. Invisible No More is a timely examination of how Black women, Indigenous women, and women of color experience racial profiling, police brutality, and immigration enforcement. Placing stories of individual women—such as Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, Dajerria Becton, Monica Jones, and Mya Hall—in the broader context of the twin epidemics of police violence and mass incarceration, it documents the evolution of movements centering women's experiences of policing and demands a radical rethinking of our visions of safety—and the means we devote to achieving it. Invisible No More's site provides a fact-based resourceful timetable of events you have to check out.
In addition, Invisible No More comes at a time of national conversation and coverage of African American women and other Women of Color – Indigenous, Latinx are being imprisoned in record numbers. We know of the mass incarceration injustice of African American men and other men of color in prison in record numbers via prison reform efforts. Media also has taken an informative stance, for example with Ava Duvernay's Netflix project, '13th' which is a powerful, compelling documentary examining the historic imprisonment of African American men and modern day slavery in the privatization, capitalization of United States prison institutions and the monetization of its prisoners.
"Invisible No More is more than a book it's about police accountability…." a testimony by Monique W. Morris, author of Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools
We couldn't agree anymore.

Daisy Shah is all set to shed her girl-next-door image with erotic thriller "Hate Story 3", donning a sensuous avatar.
Daisy apparently worked very hard in the gym and got into the desired shape for "Hate Story 3", which involves a lot of skin show.
Daisy will be seen wearing a swimsuit in one of the scenes in the film, but the actress regrets not wearing a bikini.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the "Hate Story 3" actress said she regrets wearing a swimsuit and not a bikini in the film as she had trained herself hard to get a bikini body.
"Any girl who wants to don a bikini has to work hard, and I am no different. This time I had to put in a little extra effort. I had trained myself to have a bikini body. After I saw myself wearing a swimsuit, I regretted not having worn a bikini. I am not sure whether I will have the same kind of body in future," said Daisy.
Daisy made her debut in Salman Khan's "Jai Ho", and her role in the upcoming film is completely different from her previous role, adding a lot of hot quotient.
"Hate Story 3" also features Zareen Khan, Karan Singh Grover and Sharman Joshi. The film involves a lot of steamy scenes and is slated to be released on 4 December.
