The Stampede Brisbane
Saturday, 5 September 2015
Woodfordia, Woodford, QLD
The Stampede at Woodfordia near Brisbane features a gruelling 5km or 10km obstacle course on Saturday, 5 September 2015.
You'll crawl through thick mud, climb up cargo nets, slide down the giant slip and slide, run through live wires charged with 10,000 volts and wash it all down with a beer on one crazy day.
Waves of runners depart every 20 minutes throughout the day.

packing for Squam Art Workshops, land of purple scarves and pretty shoes
For a fifth year in a row, I'm off to play in the woods of New Hampshire for five glorious days.
In March 2008, the eve of my birthday, I voiced a plea to the Universe, for creative community:
"Lately I've been craving a creative community and today, I put this craving out to the Universe. I'm not sure how and I'm not sure in what form, but when it manifests itself, whether with a bang or through a series of quiet opportunities over time, I will know."
In September 2008, coffee mug, road maps and courage in hand, I drove to the inaugural Squam Art Workshops.
Life hasn't been the same since.
The moral of this story: Don't be afraid to ask for what you need. The Universe is only waiting to provide - and more.
I leave tomorrow morning. I'll see you on the flip side...

Insertion of $CS_2$ into one of the Ir-H bonds of $[Ir(H)_5(PCy_3)_2]$ takes place to afford the dihydrido dithioformate complex $cis-[Ir(H)_2(\eta^2-S_2CH)(PCy_3)_2]$ accompanied by the elimination of $H_2$. Protonation of the dithioformate complexv using $HBF_4$' $Et_2O$ gives $cis-[Ir(H)(/eta_2-H_2)(\eta_2-S_2CH)(PCy_3)_2][BF_4]$ wherein the H atom undergoes site exchange between the dihydrogen and the hydride ligands. The dynamics was found to be so extremely rapid with respect to the NMR time scale that the barrier to exchange could not be measured. Partial deuteration of the hydride ligands resulted in a J(H,D) of 6.5 and 7.7 Hz for the $H_2D$ and the $HD_2$ isotopomers of cis-$[Ir(H)(\eta_2-H_2)(\eta_2-S_2CH)(PCy_3)_2]-[BF_4]$, respectively. The H-H distance $(d_H_H)$ for this complex has been calculated to be 1.05 $\AA$, which can be categorized under the class of elongateddihydrogen complexes. The $cis-[Ir(H)(\eta{_2}-H_2)(\eta{_2}-S_2CH)(PCy-3)_2][BF_4]$ complex undergoes substitution of the bound $H_2$ moiety with $CH_3CN$ and CO resulting in new hydride derivatives, $cis-[Ir(H)-(L)(\eta{_2}-S_2CH)(PCy_3)_2][BF_4] (L ) CH_3CN, CO)$. Reaction of $cis-[Ir(H)_2(\eta{_2}-S_2CH)(PCy_3)_2]$ with electrophilic reagents such as MeOTf and Me3SiOTf afforded a new hydride aquo complex $cis-[Ir(H)(H_2O)(\ets{_2}-S_2CH)(PCy_3)_2][OTf]$ via the elimination of $CH_4$ and $Me_3SiH$, respectively, followed by the binding of a water molecule (present in trace quantities in the solvent) to the iridium center. The X-ray crystal structures of $cis-[Ir(H)_2(\eta{_2}-S_2CH)(PCy_3)_2]$ and $cis-[Ir(H)-(H_2O)(\eta{_2}-S_2CH)(PCy_3)_2][OTf]$ have been determined.

"Like" Life
I "Like" life. Click on the little icon and you suddenly will like whatever your doing. Wow. Simple enough.
Wouldn't that be amazing?
"Liking Life" is not as simple as the click of a mouse, but it also isn't as complicated as we tend to make it. And as far as I'm concerned the time to start enjoying life is immediately. To do that you must start right where you're at, because wherever you're going to go it is from there that you must begin. The most difficult part of this strategy is acknowledging that you actually can choose to like whatever you do.
I woke up one morning, several years into my "happy homemaker" phase, when I turned the page on my favorite calendar to find the caption "To be happy don't do whatever you like...like whatever you do!" The picture depicted a woman vacuuming and dusting with a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. Fitting for me as Manger of the Duce Domicile. At that point in my life I was a 24/7 homemaker with six kids to "make" a home for on a daily basis. Keeping the house in order each day was a lot of work, mostly unappreciated and entirely unrelenting.
Life at home was not as I had imagined it would be sitting in traffic commuting. I knew that I had what it would take to go back to a "real" job - if that was where I wanted to be. Yet, hadn't I just spent the last thirteen years working towards this very goal? I was living the dream now...right? How could I have lost that I -love -what- I'm -doing- feeling so soon? There was so much that I loved about where I was at and I had worked so hard to get there. I had to find a way to like what I was doing - the work of my every day. Like was not a word I would have used to describe the time I spent working at keeping house. Considering how much of my time was spent doing just that...I knew I needed to incorporate the caption on my calendar that day into my life.
I went to work on the "like whatever you do" concept. For me that meant music in the house while I worked. In particular it became a part of my kitchen where we still spend most of our together time each day. Next...investment in fabric softener and no more cold, wrinkled piles of clothes to fold. As crazy as it sounds I still today love to fold clothes soft and warm out of the dryer. I simply no longer allowed the next load to be washed until the last one was folded "warm". Some days that meant more than one re-warming. Now that may seem ridiculous to some of you - but for me it also meant enjoying the folding...and that was my goal. A candle or two burning with my favorite fragrance, an invitation to friends to come visit and enjoy our home (our friends and the kids friends), and the investment in a new vacuum (with the right tool any job can be done easier) - and I was well on my way to liking what I was doing each day.
I knew that I had come full circle when my nephew proclaimed to his mother after making a mess at my house..."Don't worry mom, Aunt Brenda likes cleaning."
That is only one example of many opportunities I have had to take what I must do and make it something I enjoy - even if I don't feel that way when I begin the work. This doesn't just apply to physical labor. I have often had to apply the concept in my relationships as well. Lets be honest... "like" may not always describe the time spent with co-workers, children, a spouse, or family members. Life is full of peaks and valleys. All of us find ourselves experiencing things we didn't ask for, things that are placed upon us. By choosing to enjoy life - in spite of it - we regain our power to act rather than be acted upon. You may be surprised to find that the changes you initiate to "like what your doing" will most often be small and subtle. Be creative. Keep it simple.
Share you ideas here. How have you come to "like" what your doing?

Join us each Sunday Morning at 9:00 am for Divine Service
Grace Lutheran Church teaches and preaches the inerrant word of God in the Holy Bible. This can be summarized in three phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone, and Scripture alone.
God loves the people of the world, even thought they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unloveable and save the ungodly.
By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear the Good News and believe it have the eternal life it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals in His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.

Mother of five named Autism Hero
Karen Fairchild, a licensed clinical social worker, stands for a portrait with her Heroes for Autism award at UVU where she teaches Wednesday, April 25, 2012. (MARK JOHNSTON/Daily Herald)
OREM -- When Karen Fairchild's son was diagnosed with autism, she and her husband looked around for local resources but couldn't find any. They had to drive to Salt Lake City every day for treatment.
The lack of resources is what prompted Fairchild to get involved in the autism community, and 20 years later Fairchild has been honored for her work in the autism community as the recipient of the first Autism Hero Award from the Autism Resources of Utah County Coalition.
"I felt embarrassed when I found out," Fairchild said. "I don't do what I do to get awards."... READ MORE >>

Vitamin D Status and Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Because insulin is the hormone necessary for allowing sugar to enter cells to produce energy, type 1 diabetics must use insulin injections to manage blood sugar levels. Doctors believe that various factors contribute to type 1 diabetes, including genetics, environmental triggers, as well as exposure to certain viruses. A new study examined whether low levels of maternal concentrations of vitamin D during pregnancy played a role in the development of type 1 diabetes in offspring.
In the study, researchers examined maternal serum concentrations of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25-OH D) during pregnancy and found that the odds of developing type 1 diabetes were 2 times higher for the offspring of women with the lowest levels of 25-OH D compared with the offspring of women with levels above the upper quartile. These results suggest that enhancing maternal 25-OH D status during pregnancy may help to prevent type 1 diabetes in offspring.
As we continue to learn more and more of all of the very important roles that vitamin D plays in the body, it is critical that everyone has their vitamin D level checked on a regular basis. Beyond calcium absorption and bone growth, vitamin D is involved in the modulation of cell growth (proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis), neuromuscular and immune function (autoimmunity, cancer, as well as colds/flu), and the reduction of inflammation.
Most Americans, including adults and children, are deficient in vitamin D. Certain risk factors contribute to a vitamin D deficiency, such as older age, lack of sunlight, darker skin color, being overweight, and having a chronic illness. You can easily have your status checked through a simple blood test (25-hydroxy-vitamin D serum test). Optimal ranges are between 50-70 ng/ml. It is important to know your vitamin D level so that you can supplement appropriately. In general, adults (including pregnant women) are recommended to take between 2,000 to 5,000 IU daily and infants/children are to take 1000 IU daily. If you are very deficient, sometimes it is necessary to initially take high doses for several months before taking a maintenance dose. Talk with your doctor or a nutritionist to see what is best for you. Vitamin D is one of the easiest supplements to take and is available in many forms, including liquid drops, tablets, chewable tablets, and small softgels. I recommend taking the D3 form for best absorption.

Last Piece of Cheese | Next Piece of Cheese
Great march this morning on Champs-Élysées, I wonder if Syrian President in the official stand ended with an indigestion of UN forces back from Lebanon, as he coldly applauded St-Cyr-Coëtquidan's trainee-officers who had choose for their promotion the name of one of the French Peacekeepers killed in the bomb attack his country organized.
I'm glad Mrs Ingrid Bétancourd felt "too tired" to sit down with the various dictators and human rights crushers.

We welcome back Sci-Fi London Literary Editor Robert Grant for his review of The Scarab Path, book 5 in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadows of the Apt series. We publish Adrian's new book in the series, The Air War, in August.
It's a year since the events of Salute the Dark. War with the Wasp Empire has ended in a bitter stalemate, but Wasp ambition still burns bright and only internal power struggles keeps their war machine on hold. Empress Seda and her entourage rule but her new Consort, former spymaster Thalric, now finds himself amongst a people he no longer feels as kin, married to a woman he barely recognises, and keeping dark secrets for her that may well get him killed. He needs an escape and his former enemies at Collegium may provide the key.
Che is overwhelmed by grief and loss. Worse still she has somehow been tainted by her mental connection to the Darakyon and is now 'inapt' with no way of unravelling what has happened to her. As an election looms, and ever mindful that the war will resume eventually, her Uncle, Stenwold Maker, seeks new allies. He persuades Che to travel to the recently discovered ancient Beetle-Kinden city of Khanaphes, to sound them out. And so she goes, determined also to find the help she desperately needs.
The Scarab Path is a different novel in many ways, not least because it can be read as a standalone. We still have the artifice weapons, the action and adventure, the mystery and intrigue all beautifully wrapped in Tchaikovsky's unsurpassed world-building, but with the story focused very much on Che and her emotional journey it's much more personal, and the tone changes from light to dark with her. There's also way more magic than we're used to, especially as Che's inaptness opens her mind to the perception and possibilities of an art that Beetle-Kinden have traditionally shunned.
This is a big book, but its length slows the pace and allows the story time to unfold which suits the mood better. We also get some of the origins, history and geography of the Apt world as Tchaikovsky allows himself time to explore. But while the whole concept of Insect-Kinden makes this series unique, as ever, it's the wonderfully realised characters that keep you hooked. Even now, after five novels, you be hard-pushed to find epic fantasy that'll beat it.

Let me share with you a couple of passages in Scripture and provide a little contrast / comparison. Hopefully the Lord will be able to use it to shed some light on how He wants to handle our wayward sister.
The passages are John 4:3-30, 39-42 and 1 Corinthians 5:1-13.
John 4:3-30, 39-42
He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. And He had to pass through Samaria. So He came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman therefore said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water? "You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?" Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty, nor come all the way here to draw." He said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, " "You have well said, 'I have no husband'; for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly. " The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. "Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you {people} say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father. You worship that which you do not know; we worship that which we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am {He."} And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He had been speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why do You speak with her?" So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city, and said to the men, "Come, see a man who told me all the things that I {have} done; this is not the Christ, is it?" They went out of the city, and were coming to Him…
And from that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all the things that I {have} done." So when the Samaritans came to Him, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. And many more believed because of His word; and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world."
1 Corinthians 5:1-13
It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife. And you have become arrogant, and have not mourned instead, in order that the one who had done this deed might be removed from your midst. For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present. In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, {I have decided} to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump {of dough}? Clean out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, just as you are {in fact} unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I {did} not at all {mean} with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters; for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he should be an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler– not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within {the church}? But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.
These passages seems on the surface to be dealing with two people living an immoral lifestyle yet the response of Jesus seems so much different than that of Paul. Paul's counsel is clearly to tell the guy to shape up or get shipped out. Jesus, though He acknowledges her continuing moral failure, does not offer her the same choice but rather moves on to the subject of true worship. What constitutes the correct response when faced with a lifestyle moral failure? I think the Scripture provides some helpful insight. I think the Scripture shows that our response should be tempered by the means by which the guilty part got into their fix.
In the case of the Samaritan woman, we know a few things: (1) she is a Samaritan, (2) she is a woman and (3) she was living with a 6th man out of wedlock. Because she is a Samaritan, she is part of an ethnic group that everybody rejects. The Jews see her as a product of an immoral union between an unfaithful Jew and a godless gentile. The gentiles see her as a Jew. Neither acknowledge any human value to a Samaritan. Because she is a woman, we know that she never divorced any of her husbands. They all rejected her. Women simply had no legal means of divorcing anyone in those days. Because she was living out of wedlock, we know she had no self-respect. By now she was so hungry for acceptance, she would do anything to get it. The point is simply this: This woman did not choose an immoral lifestyle as an act of rebellion or license. She chose it because it was the only thing she understood. Her drive in life was to be loved and give love. Jesus showed her the true way to receive and give love and ultimately enjoy human relationships.
In the case of the young Corinthian, Paul says: "…immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles." What he is saying about this young man is that he has consciously decided to take his Christian liberty and convert it into ungodly license. His motives were lust and rebellion. He did it because he chose to do it with malice of forethought. Nothing drove him to this behavior. With cold blooded calculation, he seduced his father's wife, brought dishonor on his family, his church and his God.
It is possible that this woman is in a great deal of pain and in desperation she is doing what seems "natural" to her. She may be trying to escape into a comfort zone of rejected people. There is much truth in the saying, "Misery loves company." In spite of their bravado there is an enormous amount of misery in the homosexual community. Take a look at 2 Corinthians 2:3-11 (particularly v. 7).
I then encourage you to lay these thoughts before the Lord. My prayers are with you.

Her pooch Andy, will not eat properly since his best doggie pal Lakia died three weeks ago. Jill is concerned about Andy as he just does not want to eat, and is still very depressed even though he is on doggie anti-depressants. Jill is looking for another lady dog from a rescue shelter in the hope that will cheer Andy up. Lakia the doggy that recently dies and Andy were both from rescue shelters in Tenerife.
Many of you who read this blog are expert doggie owners and some of you have been on training courses in dog behaviourism. If you have any advice/experience you can share that would be much appreciated :) please leave comments muchas gracias
I have suggested that Jill take Andy to a dog training class to meet other doggies and bring some food along to give to him as treats.
Here are some suggestions from some of my facebook amigos.
Steph Tufft Very sad. Would suggest (if she hasnt already) trying the most tasty, tempting food possible - good health can go out of the window for the mo, he needs to be enticed to eat. Does Andly get left alone at all for work reasons etc? If so can someone come in and see/walk/play with him? Can she socialise him with ther dogs - go on group walks and encourage him to participate? Hope he is ok. Such a shame
Steve Felton Lots & Lots of love and cuddles and a cuddly toy to snuggle up to, it's very hard I went through this with two Old English Sheep Dogs back in 1989, just think how you would feel yourself and give lots of care and attention to the one who is greaving, I wish you all the best and sorry to here about your loss xx
Chantal - I think the biggest mistake I made when DeeDee died was not bring her home and let Meg see her.. So I went with DeeDee to the vet and came empty handed back.. So Meg was looking for a long long time for DeeDee.. From that point on I said to myself when one dog dies I am showing it to the other k9 family members..
Olwyn Venables I don't have dogs anymore just cats but cats do grieve too.'Mum' cat was 20 years old and son was 16 and mum died at home.We dug her grave and son watched us bury her.It was pouring with rain,he sat on the wall by her grave for days and then one day he shook himself,came into the house and it was over.So the other family dogs should be shown the body.

Dishoom Review Rating Live Audience Response Public Tweets Good or Bad :- Today at Indian box office only one Bollywood movie is releasing i.e.. Dishoom featuring Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Saqib Saleem and Akshaye Khanna in lead roles and looking at the huge hype that was being created for this film through its promotions we're expecting it to do good business at domestic markets. But is this Rohit Dhawan directorial actually worth watching or not we'll tell you in this review further.
Dishoom Story Written Details
Dishoom is a fictional story about the India's top batsman Viraj (Saqib Saleem), who goes missing in Middle East, just before the final match between India and Pakistan. How two cops Kabir Shergill (John Abraham) and Junaid Ansari (Varun Dhawan) go for a 36-hour man hunt forms the crux of the film.
Dishoom Positive Points:
The film has mind blowing music
John Abraham action sequences are too good to watch
Jacqueline Fernandez hot body show
Dishoom Negative Points:
Story lacks pace
Some scenes stretched too much
Locations are not good
Final Verdict:
As far as our final verdict of Dishoom is concerned well Akshay Kumar has completely stole the show here in his short cameo appearance but still story somewhat misses that punch so you can skip this film
Audience Feedback:
This is what local Indian audience has to say about Dishoom :
"Dishoom" has a routine story, but an interesting screenplay with all commercial ingredients keep the film goers entertained. There are some humourous scenes that engage the viewers in the first half. The second half is also entertaining with some fight and romance sequences.
Dishoom Star Rating – 2.5/5*
Do return back for more updates on Dishoom film

Simply sealing off any drafts or leaks in your home can lead to substantial savings when it comes to your heating or cooling costs throughout the year, and this new Thermal Leak Detector from Black & Decker appears to take the guesswork out of finding those problem spots. (And it's probably more accurate than holding up a lit match to the cracks around windows and doorways.) You just point the detector at a wall to set a reference temperature, and then aim it at any trouble spots in your home to determine exactly where the problems are. When the measured temperature changes by 1, 5 or 10 degrees F (switchable to Celsius) the projected light will either change to red or blue to clearly indicate where there's a hot or cold spot.
The Thermal Leak Detector will be available from the Black & Decker online store for $39.99, but at the moment it's still listed as "Coming Soon".

In my last post on The Studio, I shared the way that Rio Grande had successfully built the foundation for an empowered workplace.
Once that foundation was in place, we had to ask: What would guide and drive our behavior within that environment? Obviously, telling folks they're empowered and then limiting their power to create or burying them in endless rules and bureaucracy wasn't going to work. To become a company of contributing partners we needed a set of shared values that would nurture and support that partnership; a collection of principles that every associate could believe in and live up to.
The Principles are Rio Grande's common value system; the basis for our everyday behavior and decision-making. By using the Principles as our footing, we make the right decision far more consistently.
Many companies are structured so that higher levels of authority delegate work to lower levels of authority. Since there are generally strict rules governing behavior, employees aren't expected (or even allowed) to use judgment; they're expected to follow the rules. When situations occur that don't fit the rules, employees have to go to their boss to get an OK or find out what to do. We all know the frustration of having to ask for a supervisor when we can't get a common-sense solution that's outside the scope of a "customer service" rep on the other end of the line.
At Rio we replaced a system of rules and hierarchy with principles that enable a broad workforce of participative managers to make good decisions for our customers and our company – and to do so consistently.
Our 15 Principles are:
- Do what you agree to do
- Do not encroach on other people or their property
- Create an environment of trust
- Be open and honest
- Treat everyone with dignity and respect
- Express and value all feelings, concerns and ideas equally
- Exchange your best effort for the best effort of others
- Develop long-term relationships of mutual benefit (Win/Win)
- Have fun
- Passionately develop and pursue shared and individual purposes and goals
- Strive to maintain a positive attitude at all times
- Maintain your power to succeed by choosing not to believe you are a victim
- Take responsibility for your part in each life experience and learn from it
- Be successful by helping others to be successful and accepting that help for yourself
- Lead by influence (using reason, benefits, and inspiration) rather than by coercion (using force, fear, and innuendo).
Of course, Principle #9 is the first one new associates memorize and it's the easiest to live up to, but most folks find the Principles pretty easy to follow and they soon discover that they work just as well outside work as they do inside. We've got business cards printed with the Principles that make them easy to share; we'd be happy to see more businesses adopt a principled approach.
I'd love to know which of our Principles strike you (My favorite – after #9 – is #7). What principles do you live by? How do you ensure that your decision making is fair and consistent?

In the very near future, my husband and I need to fit all of our belongings into a smallish car, and apparently I am (inconveniently) expected to include more than just books into this "all of our belongings" category. Believe it or not, the culling of the closet and dresser was much easier than that of the bookshelf. The "maybe" book pile became, naturally, a reading challenge. Because what if I get rid of my next favorite book and I never know, because it's gone?! So I have given myself until March 22 -- seven weeks -- to read 12 books, which is almost two books per week. I typically read one book every two weeks, so... you do the math.
If you have read my introductory post to the bookshelf love reading challenge, you already know what happens to the books I don't read by the end of week seven. It's a sad fact, but I've got to pare down the pile somehow, and despite two attempts at culling, the pile is still quite large. So, without further ado, I give you the "read it and/or leave it" stack.

TOMPKINSVILLE — The old legend: "Hundreds of years ago, the people of a village clash violently with a dragon. They appeal to patron Saint George to help solve the conflict. He slays the Dragon."
Sounds like something out of an episode of "Games of Thrones," right? Alas, this grisly tale was immortalized in myth.
Until, that is, a group of eco-conscious North Shore residents decided it was high time to reinvent the outdated concepts of "overpowering and violence" with new models of "cooperation and problem-solving, human ingenuity and design science, bringing creativity to difficult situations."
Faster than you can say, "CATPAW!," the Community Association of Tompkinsville Park Promoting Arts and Whimsy's inaugural St. George Day Festival was born eight years ago this weekend.
On Saturday, CATPAW's (still) free event — a community pageant, performing arts showcase, literary event and interactive science fair rolled into one — will collaborate with NYC Parks to present kids' activities, family-oriented fun, outdoor art installations, live music, street performance, crafts and Earth Day demonstrations.
"St. George Day is a great way for neighbors of all ages to play together at a fun day in the park," says CATPAW planner Sara Valentine, "experiencing all the pageantry, diversity, art and entertainment on hand, while becoming introduced to greener lifestyles and practices."
St. George Day's trademark trio — the Earth Day Zone, the Dragon Parade and the giant puppet spectacle, "St. George & the Friendly Dragon" — will again serve as as the community centerpiece.
In spring 2014, however, there is a different "dragon" looming on the horizon.
Many of St. George Day's participating artists are actually North Shore home or property owners who are hoping not to be edged out when "The Wheel" brings the expected rush of development to the area.
"The festival invites visitors to imagine the possibilities of what their neighborhood can be when bonded by a deep commitment to the arts, humanities and the environment," says Steven Jones, one of the event founders for CATPAW.
CATPAW & NYC Parks present a celebration of Earth Day & community arts
Where: Tompkinsville Park, intersection of Victory Boulevard and Bay Street where St. George and T-Ville meet.
When: Saturday, April 26, noon to 7 p.m.

A prior column looked at why building marketing strategies and plans is similar to a golf swing: Success is tied mainly to the backswing and the follow-through, even though most golfers concentrate on the point of impact.
Writing a marketing strategy
The process should start with a strategy statement or mission statement, which captures in one or, at most, two sentences the essence of who the customer is, what you are serving them and why it is special or different. For example, a marketing strategy statement I once wrote for a sports club in Toronto reads: "The [client] is a boutique adult-oriented racquets-and-fitness club with above-average dining and first-class service, complemented by exclusive social programming, for professionals seeking fraternity and a home-away-from home in Toronto's city core."
We have already talked about marketing strategies as the answers to a series of progressive questions. In order they are:
- What is our position relative to competitors, in plain English, and what are our proof points?
- Who are our real customers, including a primary segment and two or three secondary segments?
- What products or services will we sell to each segment?
- What is our brand promise to each segment?
- What type of customer experience are we trying to deliver to each segment?
In our sports club example, the answers in a narrative were: "We will be the racquets club in the core of Toronto with the finest reputation, serving older and established business people and socialites, with tennis, squash and first-class dining. We promise a homey, quirky, fraternal atmosphere, along with white-glove service and gold-plated benefits, in order to deliver a Muskoka-like experience to our members."
Descriptive specificity is really important. To simply say "premium" or "best" in our example, or in any strategy, would not give the reader or implementer of the plan the colour required to set out the action plan, which is our next step.
Marketing plan, including programs or campaigns, and tactics
A marketing strategy should be elegant, simple and short, while the marketing plan is likely to be more involved and a longer document, as it needs to be detailed.
The best marketing plans divide their world three ways: time, customers and activity. The goal is to articulate a blueprint to achieve the strategy by pursuing customers over different time periods, with directed activities in the form of tactics, which belong to programs or campaigns.
Time: Near-term, medium-term and long-term are common, useful ways to lay out a marketing plan. The definition of those terms varies from industry to industry, but near-term tends to mean one or two quarters, medium-term one or two years, and long-term two years plus.
Customers: Assuming a good customer segmentation was done as part of the background work, that segmentation should be used to direct activity, by time period.
Activity: Marketing programs or campaigns can be devised to pursue customers.
Marketing plans can be laid out in spreadsheets or tables, or sometimes in a narrative. A combination of short narratives explaining the objective followed by grids tends to be quite efficient. Here is an example:
"Deep discounting is required to re-establish our market share. We will focus on lower prices, in all but one segment, for the next year."
Pricing: Timeframe/segment
Segment A: Value shoppers
Segment B: Everyday shoppers
Segment C: More affluent shoppers
Near-term (rest of year)
Deep discounts
Rack rate
Medium-term (one year out)
Deep discounts
Rack rate
Long-term (two years out)
To be determined
Programs or campaigns, and tactics
We think about the difference between programs and campaigns in the following way:
- Programs are internal-facing, or executed by internal employees.
- Campaigns are customer-facing, and they are typically executed by external partners.
As an example, a customer experience improvement program (CXIP) could easily be initiated, designed and executed by employees, without ever releasing communication to customers, or running ads. A CXIP is meant to improve customer satisfaction, which should lead to more repeat purchases, fewer returns and complaints, and more referrals – definitely part of a marketing plan, but not necessarily requiring, say, media spend.
The release of a whitepaper to draw attention to a new offering, or the design of a series of ads for a new consumer product, are examples of campaigns as they are meant to communicate directly with customers.
Marketing tactics still tend to fall into the four Ps: product, placement, promotion and price.
- Product usually refers to the offering or a version of the offering you are going with, by segment.
- Placement normally refers to both the distribution channel and the marketing channel.
- Promotion refers to the ideas behind, and a copy of, the marketing communication.
- Pricing is a topic on its own, and it refers to both standard prices and discounts required.

Hello Beautiful,
Today, I present to you swatches from Color Club holiday 2012 collection. There are a few more from this collection but I didn't feel like I needed them so I only picked these 3. They are currently available at Sally Beauty Supply.
- Berry and Bright, I think they nailed it with the name. This is a bright berry red shimmery foil color with a berry scent to it. You may not have noticed it but it also has little specks of blue shimmers. This polish was opaque in just one coat. I find the formula fairly easy to work with. I am usually not a fan of red polishes but this one has a beautiful finish and looks festive, which is perfect for the holidays.
- Ho-Ho-Holly is a gorgeous green, teal, and gold shimmer foil intertwined in this one polish. I did two coats for the swatches. Formula was easy to work with. I can't be too sure of the scent but it kinda smell like peppermint to me.
- Glitter Wonderland smells delicious! It smells like caramel candy. This is a purple shimmer foil with microscopic blue and pink glitters. This one was slightly more sheer that the first two, so I needed 3 coats in order for it to look opaque.
What do you think? Love it or leave it? I guess perhaps not everyone will like this type of finish but I find them quite fitting for the holidays and I love how nice they smell.

From producers with no money, to actors who wouldn't go on, to shows that were way ahead of their time, Broadway Bound will introduce New York audiences to the shows that were supposed to find a home on the Great White Way, all sung by an all-star Broadway cast.
The concert will be cohosted by author of The Untold Stories of Broadway, Jennifer Ashley Tepper, and host of the podcast Behind The Curtain: Broadway's Living Legends, Robert W. Schneider.

Many people love the idea of taking a cruise ship vacation. The unlimited food, the sheer size of the ship, and the indoor shopping malls all contribute to the allure of taking a cruise. However, oftentimes cruise ships have secrets that they would prefer their guests would not find out about. Read on to learn some of the most surprising secrets that may have you thinking twice about booking that cruise ship vacation.
Difficult Americans
Cruise ships are less likely to hire Americans for a few reasons. The first is that American cruise ship employees have a much higher quitting rate than any other nationality. Additionally, it is more expensive to employ Americans, since their salary demands tend to be higher of their counterparts that hail from developing countries, but for the same exact jobs.

New Los Osos services district general manager to get $90,000 a year
The Los Osos Community Services District will pay its general manager an annual salary of $90,000, pending board approval.
W. Dan Gilmore has accepted the position, district officials announced Tuesday. He is scheduled to start Nov. 16.
Gilmore is the first permanent general manager since John Schempf, who left in February to take a job in Maine.
Gilmore received an undergraduate degree in civil engineering from Cal Poly in 1987. Two years later, he received a Master's in Business Administration with an emphasis in management.
He has a mix of local project and budget management experience. He was a utilities engineer for the city of San Luis Obispo from 1992 to 2009, where he worked on sewer-related capital improvement projects, district officials said.

Did anyone notice that Lakisha didn't hold his hand when Ryan was revealing the results??? Hmmmm, let's see, maybe it is because he has been stealing opportunties from the REAL talent all along? Because perhaps he had NO BUSINESS being there or getting as far as he did?

Sorry to ask, but I just bought my latest project a 87 TSI with 38kmiles. Complete untouched stock car. i am currently working overseas on a ship and don't have access to the car for a couple measurements. I am looking to design a custom dual 10 sub-woofer encl. I am looking for the measurement between the narrowest point between the rear strut towers and the distance from the rear seat to where the spare tire cover begins. I am hoping to get he design completed and material bought before I get home on leave.
thanks for the help
Help with some measurments Please.

If you are retaining the rear interior pieces, you have 29" wide. The spare tire board goes all the way to the seats though. You could cut it and put a piano hinge a little further towards the rear, but my suggestion is just make the box as deep as you need for the subs you choose and just make it easily removable in the event you need to use the spare. The height of the box is a limiting factor as well, if you want to retain the hatch cover piece. You can fit 10 1/4" tall before hitting the metal bracing on it. I found that one good 10" with proper RMS power from an amp is plenty for big bass.

11 1/4 is max height. Just modified my store bought box
Posted 06 February 2019 - 07:38 AM
Perfect, thank you. I am working on a ship right now I just bought my 87 sight unseen. I am hopeful with only 38K miles I have a good starting place with out someones else's problems. . I have not set in one for over 24 years I just could not remember the details. Now I can spend some time obsessing over the details thanks much

Did you buy the one in Massachusetts?
Posted 07 February 2019 - 05:37 AM
Yes, I had a friend who knows 80/90s turbo cars fly up and take a good look at it. I feel like it should be very solid starting place.

Cranberry and white chocolate skillet cookie
Chocolate makes me smile. Christmas makes me smile.
So an enormous, Christmassy chocolate cookie makes me smile a lot.
(and yes, I am definitely saying that adding a handful of cranberries to something automatically makes it Christmassy. Add a pinch of nutmeg if you want it to feel extra festive!)
Even if you don't agree about cranberries equalling Christmas, there's no denying that this big cranberry and white chocolate skillet cookie makes a fantastic winter treat. It's got all the qualities of the perfect chocolate cookie: it's dense and cakey, and chewy, and chocolatey, and crumbly, and all sorts of other good things. Slice it up neatly or just hand out some spoons and all crowd around – it'll be gone in no time, I promise.
(in fact… I took a couple of spoonfuls when taking these photos and ended up having to put the spoon in the sink to stop myself from going back for more. So amazing!)
Speaking of chocolate, did anyone spot the picture I shared on my Instagram a couple of weeks back? A personalised chocolate box from Thorntons – which they gave me when I took a tour around their factory! (I kept that one quiet, didn't I)
A few other bloggers and I (Jac from Tinned Tomatoes, Rachel Cotterill, Stuart from Cakeyboi and Janice from Farmersgirl Kitchen) were lucky enough to be invited along to the Thorntons factory to see how they make their amazing chocolates.
(l-r Rachel, Jac, me!, Janice, Stuart)
I won't show you the photo of us in our sterile white coats and hair nets… believe me, you should be thanking me. Quite possibly the most unflattering thing I've ever worn.
Luckily, nobody took much notice, because we were all too busy staring around the factory in wonder. I felt like a real-life Charlie Bucket – there were literally bucketfuls of chocolate wherever you looked, slabs of toffee just chilling out on work benches… and they have melted chocolate piped around the whole factory in a big network. Honestly, I was in heaven. Not to mention the actual finished products that were dotted round the whole place (including a plateful of truffles on the Reception desk, that we all reluctantly resisted).
One of the coolest parts of the factory was the Easter egg area (yes, Thorntons make Easter eggs almost all year round to cope with demand!). Did you know that the melted chocolate is poured into moulds, which are then spun round and round for 10 minutes so that the chocolate can fill it evenly? It seems perfectly sensible when you think about it, but it's one of those things that I'd never really considered before!
(imagine all those easter egg plates spinning round, and somehow avoiding hitting each other – it's amazing!)
My favourite part of the day was watching the Thorntons famous toffee being made. It's all mixed up in enormous vats, then poured into moulds, where it's cooled off with big fans. Then, a huge machine literally smashes the toffee to bits, giving the different-sized shards that Thorntons are so well-known for. A special sorting machine then removes any pieces that are too large to fit in your mouth – and any that are disappointingly small. These bits are then melted back down to be used again (no waste!).
The whole chocolate-making process is done on the site of the factory – right from developing new ideas, designing the packaging, manufacturing the products, and packing them all up to be shipped. It was really interesting to see such a streamlined process all working as it's supposed to!
After having a good look round the factory (and even having a go at piping some chocolate ourselves – not as easy as it looks!), we headed back to the Derbyshire Hotel in South Normanton for an incredible dinner and very good night's sleep. Thanks to everyone at Thorntons and everyone else who was involved (especially Jac for keeping us all organised)! We had such a great day.
Despite getting to taste plenty of wonderful Thorntons chocolates at the factory (the dulce de leche one was quite possibly the best chocolate I've ever tasted), I couldn't resist making my own chocolatey treat when I got home in tribute – hence this gigantic white chocolate skillet cookie. I'd never made a cookie in a frying pan before, but I love the idea – you've got to love a novelty dessert! If you don't have a suitable pan, a baking dish would do just fine too.
As usual, this recipe is adapted from someone who can bake much better than I can, Erin from Dinners, Dishes and Desserts. Make sure you check out her original Nutella skillet cookie too!
Cranberry and white chocolate skillet cookie
- 100 g butter melted
- 150 g white chocolate divided
- 115 g brown sugar
- 1 egg + 1 yolk
- 250 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tbsp dried cherries
- 2 tbsp dried cranberries
- Spray oil
- Heat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
- Melt 100g of the white chocolate. Combine the melted butter, melted white chocolate and brown sugar, and mix well. Add the egg and egg yolk, and mix again.
- Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda, and dried fruit, and mix to combine. The mixture should be thick, like cookie dough.
- Spray a cast iron pan with oil, and press the cookie dough out into the pan, leaving a small gap around the edge.
- Bake for around 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Melt the remaining 50g of white chocolate, and drizzle it over the cookie. Serve topped with more dried fruit if desired.
Make sure you take a look at the other bloggers' write-ups of our awesome day at the Thorntons factory too:
– Rachel
– Janice
– Stuart
– Jac
Disclosure: I was taken to the Thorntons factory and put up overnight free of charge, but I was not otherwise compensated for writing this post.

Walking bus
A walking bus is a fun, healthy, safe and sustainable way of travelling to school. Powered by good, old-fashioned legwork, the children and staff walk in a group along a set route, collecting passengers at specific 'bus stops' on their journey to school.
Besides getting the children to school on time, the children will also benefit from the positive effects that the walking bus has in enhancing road safety awareness skills among children, as well as health and environmental benefits.
All routes are risk assessed and everyone on the walking bus is expected to wear a high-visibility vest.
How it works
Parents who have signed their child/children up to the walking bus are advised to bring children to the bus stops at times set out on the bus timetable below (parents must stay with their child/children until the bus arrives). When the walking bus arrives children will be given a high-visibility vest and can then join the walking bus. At this point parents can choose to leave their child/children, or walk the remainder of the route with the walking bus to school. Once in school.
Road Safety
Before a child can join the school Walking Bus, they must take part in our Road Safety course.
On the Road Safety course your child will learn about the hazards that they will face whilst near roads and the correct way to handle them with confident pedestrian skills. The aim is to keep your child safe not only whilst they are supervised on the school Walking Bus, but to enable them to confidently transfer those skills to life outside of school.
Before they join the Walking Bus, children will be asked to watch a government approved road safety video.
The children will be encouraged to discuss the video and what they have learned. Click on the image below to watch the video:
Educational Games
We also encourage all of our children to play games on the Tales of the Road website. The website is aimed at 6-11 year olds, however the road safety messages it presents are relevant to children of all ages.
Research found that children in this age range need to understand the reasons for always using good road safety behaviour. The website therefore uses animated characters that are vulnerable to the real consequences of not following good road use. The key message is 'you need to use good road safety behaviour or you could come to real harm'.

Please download the highway code and discuss with your children.

Back in May I joined Gemma & Peter for their fun filled wedding day at the Racquet Club in central Liverpool.
I started a little later than usual for their day, as Gemma & Peter had requested that I stay later into the evening instead, so I spent the time before the ceremony capturing a few pictures of guests arriving.
Gemma actually came down the aisle to The Imperial March from Star Wars, which created some great reactions. After the ceremony I took a few group shots and then left everyone to relax for a bit and focussed on documentary style photography instead.
After the meal I took Gemma and Peter outside to take a few pictures in the surrounding areas, including The Liver Building and a nearby Banksy. We soon returned to The Racquet Club and went straight into the first dance. I stayed until late into the evening, and had a great time capturing the controlled chaos of the celebrations.

I know what you're probably thinking to yourself…EW- who would ever write about cat puke on anything, let alone their planner.
Well, friends, welcome to my world. It's a place that is fun to visit, but if you are queasy, you do not want to live here with me. Quite honestly, I think God has unique ways of communicating with His children. I know that for me, when there is a point to be made or a lesson that I need to learn, God clearly shares when His ways and my ways are not in alignment. Sometimes this is a messy lesson for me.

One week ago today, a lunkish Texas man named Aron Embry claimed that his new Motorola Droid 2 smartphone had spontaneously exploded, right next to his ear… and he had the head bandage and blood-stained handset to prove it.
Nightmarish, huh? Motorola, on their part, were quick to respond, saying:
Motorola's priority is, and always has been the safety of our customers, and all Motorola products are designed, manufactured and tested to meet or exceed international and local standards for consumer safety. We will reach out to the consumer and investigate this thoroughly.
Now Motorola has finished their investigation, and their findings? Mr. Embry is a liar, and it was physically impossible for the Droid 2 to explode in the manner he's describing.
[T]he only things that could explode in a phone would have resulted in a phone that did not work, yet this phone worked. And there was no explosive damage to the device (things inside blown outward, etc).
They then went on to note that the phone appeared to have been dropped. They don't draw any conclusions past that point, but it seems that either Mr. Embry accidentally broke his phone and lied about it to get a replacement or some lawsuit money, or he simply dropped his phone, didn't notice it was broken and cut his ear when he held it up to his head.
Either way, one thing's for sure: smartphones simply don't blow up like that. As you were.
