An assessment test to find your lactate threshold and zones takes about 30 minutes.
It is recommended you be rested and not participated in any significant, high intensity, or long-duration exercise in the previous 48 hours to a test.
Cycling test needs:
- Cycling trainer with power (required)
- Mobile device with BSXinsight app and stable internet connection (required)
- Heart rate monitor (recommended)
Run test needs:
- Treadmill with precise, adjustable speed (required)
- Mobile device with BSXinsight app and stable internet connection (required)
- Heart rate monitor (recommended)
Before beginning an activity, make sure your BSXinsight is charged and you have completed the quick setup guide
Open your mobile app, and choose run or cycle mode, for the test you want to run (if using a multisport device)
Choose "Endurance Test" on the left, like in this example on the cycling dashboard (same for running):
You will then be given some tips which you can read through on screen, or click "skip" which will take you to the information screen.
The info screen is important to get an idea of where to start you out. The initial stages are supposed to be pretty easy, and every 3 minutes, the difficulty increases. If you start at too high or low of a stage, it can throw off the accuracy. You want it to be close to 8-10 stages.
The info screen for cycling:
The info screen for running:
Next you will review the stages decided for your test.
Cycling stages:
Running stages:
The final step is connecting your BSXinsight to the app and ANT+ devices. This is what the screen looks like, as the example of cycling (for running, power is replaced with foot pod):
Please refer to our connection section in order to connect your ANT+ devices.
First, you want to connect the BSXinsight to your phone (if it's not a green check)
Next, you have the option of connecting a ANT+ heart rate monitor
3rd, depending on if it's a run test, or a cycling test:
Once everything is connected, it will look like this (cycling example):
*NOTE* is cycling is using KICKR, it will say "KICKR" and the app can control the power settings. You just start it and hold your cadence until done.
Once you start your test, the app will tell you:
RUNNING: What pace to set the treadmill at
CYCLING: What power to set the trainer at
This will change every 3 minutes, to get progressively more difficult. At each 3 minute mark, you need to readjust the treadmill or trainer pace/power. It's important that you stick to the protocol, not stop, take breaks, and, for cycling, keep your cadence steady so power is flat.
Here's what the screen will look like on the app during the assessment. This example is cycling, for running, the center will show stage and pace:
You need at least 7 stages and optimal is 8-10 stages. Some people may want to do a light warmup before starting.
At the end, make sure you have a solid internet connection. The app will talk with the server to calculate your results. The results come as power and heart rate (cycling) and pace and heart rate (running). Here's an example of the results from a running assessment:
You then want to dock and sync your BSXinsight with your desktop app to get all of the data on your computer dashboard for more details as well as be able to download the raw file.

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department – in the House of Commons at 2:30 pm on 12th December 2011.
What her policy is on the designation of (a) target sports clubs where historical pistols are studied and shot and (b) other target sports clubs.
Clubs that wish to keep and use historical pistols and weapons must have Home Office authorisation. There are strict criteria governing the designation of sites under the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997, which are set out in the guidance issued by the Home Office.
Northampton target sports club is based in my constituency. A number of members wish to study and shoot historic pistols of some worth but are struggling with the licensing regime because they are within 30 miles of another licensed club. Will the Minister help us with that query and help to sort this out?
I understand my hon. Friend's concern. I am aware that the Northampton target sports club was refused designated-site status last month because there were other suitable sites within a reachable distance. I also understand that circumstances may have changed because another site is full. Therefore, a new application will be looked at properly.
Will the Minister give as much support as possible to the wonderful Olympic sport of pistol shooting, which suffers terribly from some of the rather knee-jerk legislation that went through
this place some time ago? Will he ensure that pistol shooters are given every support possible to train in this country so that they do not have to go abroad to Switzerland to train for the Olympics?
I know of the hon. Lady's long-standing concern. The Government seek to draw the distinction between the unlawful use of weapons, which we aim to deal with as robustly as possible, and the lawful possession of such weapons. We have the tightest set of firearms controls in the world, but sporting shooting, particularly in relation to the Olympics, is of course important.

PresentationFontCache hogging CPU
I am developing an XAML and C# VS.Net 2008 windows application. Startup time is fine but my system slows down from the first time the application is run. Looking at Task Manager/procexp I noticed that the process PresentationFontCache.exe is hogging a nearly constant 50% of my machines CPU cycles.
To check if my application was at fault I closed it, removed the PresentationFontCache.exe process from memory then restated the service from the command line using:
net start FontCache220.127.116.11
PresentationFontCache.exe loads up again and immediately ramps up to 50% CPU use!
Looking at the process in the services MMC application I notice the service status is permanently at "Starting". The Application Event log also notes that a start message was successfully sent to the service, but there is no follow-up event to indicate the service went into running mode.
I'm figuring something may be stalling the font cache process and stopping it from starting up properly. Can anyone help me here please ?
I'm running on Windows Server 2003 and AFAIK have a pretty standard .NET development environment setup (VS2008, 2005 & 2003).
NB: for the time being I've disabled the service while I'm developing - I don't know how PresentationFontCache.exe will behave on the target installation systems though.
All replies
It's hard to identify based on provided data what is the cause of high CPU usage.
One of the reasons could a big number of fonts (expect the ones that originally shipped with OS).
You could try stopping the service, deleting the file it creates: Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache184.108.40.206.dat and restarting the service to check if that helps.

I encountered the same problem on my ThinkPad X100e running Windows 7 Professional. At first I couldn't locate the file FontCache184.108.40.206.dat as apparently no folder ..\AppData\Local exist under Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\ on my system using Windows Explorer.
I had to try clicking on Start\All Programs\Accessories\Command Prompt in order manually type in
CD c:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local
which was found as expected. I then type command DIR and found that file, FontCache220.127.116.11.dat right there. Wow!
However, instead of deleting it, I simply rename it to FontCache18.104.22.168.dat.bak just in case if anything wrong might happen I could rename it back.
I restarted the system and my CPU problem was finally resolved!
Thanks to everyone who shared your valuable experiences with us. Have a great day!

well i was having the same problem and if you dont need it do what i did. the lazy way to do it is hit the start button and search services in the search programs and files bar at the bottom.. and find the windows presentation foundation font cache 188.8.131.52 and right click hit properties and disable it....it worked for me so good luck.

That's weird. I just came here to look for this problem and noticed you have the same model of laptop my user is experiencing this with...
After reading this thread, as well as another one about this process, it's my understanding that presentationfontcache.exe is associated with Microsoft's Visual Studio. While I do not have Visual Studio installed, I do have Office 2007 and I've never noticed this process in my Task Manager before. Suddenly, today, it pops up and it was taking a good bit of my resources - actually it was listed 2 times in processes - so I just ended both of them. Like I said, I've never seen it before and I check my Task Manager often, so I know there's never been a problem with it before. I was confused because the only thing I have changed in the last 24 hours was to install CorelDraw X5 and AVG Internet Security 2011 and neither of these should have called this issue.
In any event, as ontap786 and several other users have asked...what is the fix for Windows XP Professional? I haven't been able to find an answer for my operating system. Please don't tell me that since we're using XP, instead of Windows 7, that we're going to be ignored because Microsoft isn't supporting our operating system any more!!!! I'm sure I speak for the TENS OF MILLIONS of XP Professional users around the world when I scream: WE DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE OUR OPERATING SYSTEM....WE DO NOT WANT WINDOWS 7. WE LOVE WINDOWS XP. Personally, if I'm forced to eventually change operating systems because Microsoft is no longer going to support it's LARGEST customer base, I WILL BE SWITCHING TO LINUX. I'd buy a Mac -- and pigs will fly -- before I'll ever switch to Windows 7 - and I don't even like Mac computers.
Soooo, please, someone/anyone let us know the fix for WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL.
Deborah *, President & CEO The Ray Media Group
I had the same issue on my WinXP laptop. Fixed by using the following method:
1. From Start Menu, go to Control Panel, then double click on Add/Remove Programs
2. Look for anything that says 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0...' there may be a few of them depending on how many updates you have had.
3. Click on one of them and you'll see a Change/Remove button appear. Click on the Change/Remove button, and then select 'Repair'.
4. Perform Repair for all the 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0...' instances.
5. Reboot system.
6. Check wether the PresentationFontCache.exe stills appears on Task Manager after reboot.
Hope this helps! :)

Wahhhhh, bboooohoooo... Upgrade to Windows 7, its stronger, and a much better operating system than XP ever was (especially in 64bit mode). The tens of millions of us who have windows xp still is only because we can not afford the upgrade. Linux, still has much more bugs than I wan't to deal with... and Mac's cost more than the average computer user has, because they ensure the absolutely bleeding edge (not worth the out the door price) tech is in their machines. Oh, and pigs have flown several times, so get with the program... (Pink Floyd, Age Of Empires, various cartoons, and regular meat packaging delivery). I'll be sure to look up the Ray Media Group next time I need a good complaint broad casted.
Jamie V Johnson CAD Manager/Database Developer
Well, thought I would throw my 2 cents in and say thank you to Hrach as well. Last night I was playing a new game on Steam named "Hydrophobia: Prophecy" and was about an hour into it and out of the blue my system shuts down. I have a Toshiba X505-896 18.4" (or so) "gaming" laptop with Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit on it and when I started the system back up to see what was going on at first I thought perhaps it was shutdown due to heat so I opened up a program called "Core Temp 0.99.7" and saw that my CPU, an Intel i7 Q740 2 1.73Ghz had been upwards of 80*C and was now around 70*C on some of the cores and threads and the CPU itself was running around 2.7Ghz (more than all out!) if not a bit more on the top end and only back down to2.2Ghz on the bottom end not ever going back to it's original frequency. So, it was pretty late and so I just shut it down but this afternoon when I turned my machine back on it was still doing the same thing and just running all out. When I opened up the Task Manager to see what might be making things go so hot and fast there was that same file that you all have been discussing (PresentationFontCache) and I right clicked on it to shut it down and it went away but a few seconds later it came back up again. Ok, so I shut it down again and this time it stayed down but I would like like to understand how and why that program came up while playing this game and why my system shut down. Actually I still think it may have been due to the heat what with that game running on just the recommended settings and then why the presentationfontcache would have came up. Sorry about being so wordy. I suppose I should have just said "Me too" and have done with it but I thought it was interesting that playing a game would have brought this all up... FYI, I did also go and rename the fontcache 3 as well just to be safe as there were other version of it there but no "4".
Thank you so much for that solution. I have been plagued for the last couple of months by my system running at full pelt all the time (the BIOS is set to reduce the multiplier when not needed to operate at 21x) and as a result my system has been running too hot. Deleting the FontCache18.104.22.168.dat file seems to have cured the problem - hopefully permanently.
Contempt prior to investigation.
Windows 7 is same as XP, only better.
Its a sure bet that Deborah has not even investigated Windows 7.
If she actually had a real look -without judging it before she looked, she would discover it is just like XP, only better.
Typical, lazy comment from un-informed, un-conscious (probably fat and lazy) American.
I found it here for XP Pro SP3 and .Net 3.x:
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data
Service name is:
Windows Presentation Foundation Cache 22.214.171.124
This is an old post, but could not help myself for replying to your comment about Win7 being superior to XP.
Not sure why or where you got your opinion, but in my job role, we have done some extensive testing with Win7 and XP side by side.
The test was to see how it performed when given the task of listening for specific heartbeats that would come from a serial connection thru a custom watchdog circuit that are sent every 5ms. This heartbeat is requested to ensure the program is up and ready to rec'v custom information.
But...it is a very basic task.
BOTH PC's were the same Make and Model, and were brand new when we did this Nov/2011
Both PC's had any and all services NOT required turned off as not to add any other process interference.
The Result........
XP was able to monitor the heartbeats with minimal dropouts.
Win7..was NOT able and had over 500 missed heartbeats in short order. (making it useless)
What does this tell me?? Microsoft has again added more complexity, perhaps even more calls to other processes or programs, which add's even more latency.
Windows7....IMHO is not an option. It's just another version of Microsoft BLOATWARE. If they threw in the towel and created a new OS from scratch, the right way, they would not be in the mess they are today. (loosing the desktop OS market)
I went to MAC and in two years NOT ONE CRASH!! Kudos to them, even if the OS is not perfect, its very close.
Windows.....no matter what version it is, desktop, server 32/64, 2003, 2008......they ALL freeze, crash, stall, have a kazillion errors in event logs, need constant babysitting and on and on.
Do this simple test, load up XP, Win7 or any other MS O/S.
Turn it on and let it run forever.....well not forever, because windows WILL blow up all on its own in due time. And that I have also proven.
But I am with Deborah29033, XP is the better OS.
MS should build one desktop OS, make it bullet proof, make it fast and incredibly stable, patch all the friggin security holes once and for all.
Instead they choose to throw out crap like Millennium, and Vista. That alone should tell you something about MS.
My trust in MS is in the Negative.
My 2c!
Yes, this is an old thread, but the advice given above is solid.
May I add to it a suggestion to clear the font cache files at system boot?
Via Task Scheduler, my laptop now does a
"del /q /f C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Font*"
running under the Administrator account at system startup, so that this does not have to be researched and fixed again. As such, it's something of a permanent fix, though it is hard to tell whether this might interfere with something else later.
Go on run type Services.msc press enter
Check Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache Service
Services Status "Stop" & Start up type "Manual" bellow mention services
i)Windows Presentation Foundation Font (18.104.22.168)
ii)Windows Presentation Foundation Font (22.214.171.124)

Highlands and Islands Labour MSP, Rhoda Grant, is wondering what incident will have to happen in the waters around the Northern and Western Isles before the government will see sense and reinstate a second emergency towing vessel (ETV) in the area.
Mrs Grant, like many others, was furious that the Westminster government removed the ETV from Stornoway back in 2012.
Previously two ETVs covered north and west coast waters, one based in Stornoway and one based in Shetland.
The government's cost cutting exercise in 2012 however saw one of the tugs removed and the remaining one stationed in Orkney. Just days after the ETV was removed from Stornoway, a cargo ship ran aground on North Uist.
The latest incident with the grounding of the Transocean Winner rig last month led to increased calls for the reinstatement of another ETV in the north.
Rhoda Grant, said: "The Secretary of State for Scotland has told me that it would have been extremely difficult, even if there had been an ETV in the area, to secure another tow on to the unmanned rig when contending with 40-45 knots of wind in 10 metre seas.
"I accept that it might not have helped with the rig on this occasion, but even if it could have, it wouldn't have as it wasn't there."
Mrs Grant was also advised by the Secretary of State that the invitation which has just gone out to tender will be for a single ETV to cover both the Northern and Western Isles region and that the new contract is likely to include a patrolling function, taking account of weather forecasts and vessel traffic services.
Mrs Grant said: "The patrolling function of this contract is all very welcome but regardless of forecasts and traffic services unpredictable accidents still happen and no amount of forecast or vessel traffic planning will counter for this.
"If the tug is in Orkney at the time it will still take eight hours to get round to Stornoway and a lot longer to get to the south of the islands."
Continuing, Rhoda Grant said: "We appear to be running on, and relying on, good luck when it comes to incidents in north and west coast waters. What needs to happen before the government sees sense and reinstates another ETV?
"We cannot simply rely on good fortune to protect staff, passengers and our environment from any future disasters. It is the job of government to make sure our waters are adequately protected and I will not give up the fight to see this happen."

ColoringBliss needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 164 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Reading Keyboard Music
We sell a piano lessons course (on DVD and online) that uses a unique piano learning method that makes it much easier to learn to read piano music.
We would like to update our logo. The current logo was created about six years ago and lacks the life and creativity the owner and method embody.
You can see our current site and branding here (but keep in mind that having this logo created is the first step in updating our branding):
I have uploaded images of our current logo; our current DVD course packaging (which we also plan to update as soon as current stock runs out); some stock art that SORT OF fits what we're looking for; and some ideas another designer put together for us that we like, but still don't convey the movement, energy and fun we are hoping for.
This is a lot of info, but it should give you a great idea of what we're about and what we're looking for...
This piano learning method is time-tested and has been around for 80 years, with thousands of students. C.W. Reid created the method 80 years ago and Merrilee Webb, professor of music and current owner of the method, purchased it in 2005.
This method is one of the fastest ways to not just learn to play piano, but to sight-read piano music. It does so by helping the student to see the black and white patterns on the piano keyboard and relate them to the black and white spaces on the music staff. This method makes learning to read much faster than memorizing letter names and "middle-c".
Merrilee is a remarkable person, full of passion and life. She has been a positive influence in the lives of thousands of students. She is one of the most optimistic, happy people I know. She has a way of inspiring you to do and become more than what you ever thought you could do. She is also very funny and uses humor a lot in her classrooms and teaching.
Merrilee has spent her career teaching music (choral, theory and piano) at High Schools and Universities. She is a professor of music and loved her time teaching in Hawaii -- she always greets you with "Aloha."
Merrilee's vision is to teach the world to play piano.
There are a lot of people looking to learn piano in ways different than the traditional going to a piano teacher's home in your neighborhood. People are looking for a way to learn from the comfort of their own home, within their time frame. This method helps them do that.
It's also extremely affordable compared to traditional piano lessons, but costs more than some competing online piano courses. The course costs around $150 one-time...and then the whole family can use it to take lessons.
And people tend to learn faster. They also actually learn how to sight-read...becoming piano literate. This is our primary message: that this method will teach you to read piano music quickly and have fun doing it!
The messages we wish to convey with the logo are:
*It's fun.
*It's simple.
*You can do it!
*It's exciting
*It's hopeful and optimistic.
Furthermore: we would like it to convey movement; we would like it to be colorful; we want it to look happy; but we don't want it to look childish (the age range of the students are literally from 4 years old to 80+); so it needs to look professional at the same time so people take it seriously; it can't look gimmicky (it's the real deal).
Even more: we would like it to be timeless as well -- honoring its 80 year heritage (but not old-fashioned) but also being relevant and current.
We are really focusing in on the learning to read music aspect of the method, so we would like the logo to have some element of piano music (e.g. Treble Clef, the staff, music notes, etc.)
It would be great if the viewer could immediately identify from the logo that this is a course that teaches you to play piano by learning to read piano music (e.g. as opposed to learning to play piano by ear.)
That's not too much to ask, right? ;)
Thank you for your help!

Potter twins plant trees
They are best-known as the broomstick-riding beaters for Gryffindor's quidditch team.
But James and Oliver Phelps - who play the Weasley twins in the Harry Potter movies - traded their broomsticks for spades on Sunday.
The actors planted trees in The National Forest, in Leicestershire.
They were setting ash and birch trees - the same type of wood used to make flying broomsticks in JK Rowling's Harry Potter series.
They added to the five million trees which have been planted in the forest.
The National Forest covers 200 square miles of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
It incorporates the towns of Burton upon Trent, Coalville, Ashby de la Zouch and Swadlincote.
Its caretakers, the National Forest Company, aims to increase woodland cover from its initial 6% to about 33%.
At present the woodland cover is about 13%.
Land in the forest remains in the ownership of the private and public sector landowners but the National Forest Company gives grants to owners who convert land to forestry.

74% of children have witnessed out-of-control adults at their games
45.3 % of kids surveyed said they had been called names, yelled at, or insulted by coaches
The data is staggering - our young athletes are dramatically impacted by the behavior of their parents and coaches. They aren't in a position to make many changes in the behavior however, YOU have the ability to help.
The Growing Champions for Life® philosophy is committed to producing champions for life, not just a season. It helps parents and coaches become aware of their behavior and learn the simple skills to help kids become great athletes AND great adults. Adults are equipped with greater skills to encourage, uplift and guide young athletes while providing them with examples of self-mastery they will carry through life.
" Growing Champions For Life®, uses and supports all the crucial lessons I learned in my career. But what sets this program apart is that it teaches that raising an athlete is not just a short term goal. As a parent, coach, and former Olympian I use his strategies to not only raise great competitors for today, but also well-rounded and confident people in life."
- Wendy Bruce Martin, Olympic Medalist
Studies conclude that as many as 73% of the kids who begin playing a sport at an early age have dropped out by age 13.
By partnering with Growing Champions for Life®, you help provide these training programs to clubs, coaches, and schools that lack the necessary funding. The youth sports experience is most effective in meeting its true objectives when coaches, parents, and administrators create the most positive learning environment possible for today's youth. To date, we have worked with over 6,000 individuals to strengthen the experience for youth sports.
I love it! You are amazing and have an incredible gift to help us all better communicate with each other and with our kids. We must not only hear the words, but live by them. Thank you so much for your time and encouraging words.
Amy Draeger
It gave me a lot of insight not only to my parenting but to my role as a human who hopes to lead by example as opposed to word. I have a lot of fine tuning to do but am committed to do my best.
Thank you again for an inspirational presentation. Great stuff!
Thank you,
Chris Tonra

What another fine mess Mitt Romney has gotten himself into. In telling some of his big campaign contributors, on a Wednesday conference call listened in on by at least two reporters, that he lost the election because President Obama bestowed "gifts" on blacks, Hispanics, and young voters, the Mittster has brought another large heap of opprobrium down upon his finely chiseled numbskull, including some finely crafted words of criticism from my colleague Alex Koppelman. As usual with Romney, it's hard to tell whether his biggest problem is his thorny relationship to the English language, his rich-guy empathy deficit, or his stunning disregard for, or obliviousness to, how his words will be received. Whatever the problem is, I thought, as a parting gift to someone who rarely failed to deliver for the campaign press, I'd do a quick translation. Here, then, is what, I'm sure, Romney meant to say:
Hi everybody, it's been a week or so since the election, and I just wanted to express my gratitude to you all personally for your support, talk a bit about the results, and say a few words about the future.
First, the money that you kindly contributed to my campaign—all nine hundred million dollars of it. Even in the world of private equity, that's quite a large sum, and I'm sure you are wondering what returns it generated.
[Silence on the line]
Oh gosh, that was just one of my little jokes. Sorry about that, Sheldon. When I was at Cranbrook, I used to be quite the comedian, you know. No, seriously, without all of your generous contributions we wouldn't have been able to make the race nearly as tight as it wasn't. Going into the last week, I really thought we had a good chance of pulling it off. All my internal pollsters, political strategists, and public-relations specialists—the ones whose enormous consulting bills you picked up—were telling me that it would all come down to Ohio, and Karl Rove kept insisting we had it sewn up there. That's why I went back to Cleveland on November 6th, to help get out the vote.
Well, as we all know, it didn't work out. In fact, I could just as well have spent Election Day at home wondering if my blind trust managed to buy into the right media companies at the end of 2011—the ones that own television stations in Ohio and the other swing states. I do hope you all read the memo about how investing in these companies was the best way to hedge your investments in me.
Forgive me. That was another bad joke. But I do find it ironic when journalists criticize me for my failings and goof-ups on the campaign trail. Don't they realize that, in financial terms, the entire thing is a benefit for the media companies that employ them?
Anyway, back to the election, which I lost for three reasons. First, my opponent—and I give him a lot of credit for this—displayed a better grasp of arithmetic than we did. While I was out there talking about the trees in Michigan and singing "America the Beautiful," he and his campaign were assiduously putting together a political coalition that would get them to fifty per cent. When the minority vote is nearly thirty per cent of the electorate, and you get four in five minority votes, you only need to attract about a third of the other voters. In successfully reaching out to women, gays, and young voters, the President could afford to cede to us most of the white male vote, and it didn't matter. (In places like Ohio and Michigan, he did pretty well in appealing to those voters, too.)
Second, the President and his party delivered for its core supporters—not just financially but also in a larger sense. To some extent, of course, politics is a transactions-based business: the main reason political parties exist is to defend the interests of their supporters. In offering a route to citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants; in restructuring the student-loan program on terms favorable to the debtors; in introducing heavily subsidized health-care coverage for the near-poor and for hard-working middle-class families—some of whom are minorities; in coming out in favor of gay marriage; even in insisting that, under the terms of his health-care reform, insurance plans cover contraception—the President provided concrete benefits for the groups that supported him in 2008.
But it wasn't just a quid pro quo. Successful political parties aren't just machines that deliver material benefits to their base. They are also about values—values that engender a sense of belonging and optimism among the voters, values which reflect what's happening in the country. In embracing Hispanics, Asians, blacks, young voters, gays, and women, especially single women, the President signalled to these voters not only that he is on their side but that he believes they represent the future of the country, which, in demographic terms, they do. For decades, we Republicans have claimed to represent the real America, but increasingly we are the party of the past. That has to change. In needlessly alienating the groups that are growing fastest, we are cutting our own throats.
Third, and let's be honest here, when it came to campaigning, the other side cleaned our clock. It was patently clear on Election Day, when their carefully targeted get-out-the-vote operations produced turnouts in many heavily Democratic areas that matched those of 2008. It was clear in their early-voting efforts, which gave them unassailable leads in places like Ohio and Nevada. And it was clear from the get-go in their messaging, which tried—and, to a large extent succeeded—in portraying me as a tax-dodging, job-slaying rich doofus—or, as Grover Norquist put it, a "poopy head."
And what about our campaign?
We had twenty Republican debates, that was absolutely nuts; it opened us up to gaffes and to material that could be used against us in the general, and we were fighting these debates for a year, and the incumbent President just sat back and laughed.*
If Jim Messina and David Axelrod had been offered the opportunity to handicap our campaign early on, they couldn't have come up with anything more damaging. I mean, "vulture capitalist"—where did that come from? From the Governor of Texas, a god-fearing, hard-working Republican. The primary process was nuts. In addition to our attitude and policies toward minorities and women, that's one of the things we have to address as a party.
During the primaries, I should have stood up to the right more, especially on immigration and abortion. Saying I was "severely conservative" was another big error. It alienated moderates, and the conservatives and evangelicals in the Party didn't believe it anyway. Once the primaries were over, I should have pivoted to the center a lot more quickly and picked a less polarizing running mate—preferably a certain hefty individual from New Jersey. Waiting until the first debate to display my moderate colors was crazy. We should have done it at the convention in Tampa. Sure, the conservative wing of the Party would have been miffed, and they might have caused some trouble, but the sight of them getting angry would have helped us with independent voters in places like Virginia and Florida.
Winning big majorities in conservative states like Oklahoma and Tennessee didn't help us any, and it won't help us in the future. If our party seriously wants to reëstablish itself as the national party of government, rather than a regionally based anti-government protest party that relies on redistricting to assure it a big presence in Congress, it simply has to become more moderate. The lesson of my candidacy—and of the candidacy of my predecessor, John McCain—is that putting a moderate, non-ideological figure at the top of the ticket isn't enough. By the time he (or she) has done what is necessary to win the primaries, the voters no longer look upon him (or her) as a centrist.
Finally, and, my gosh, this doesn't come easy to me, I have to take some of the blame myself. As I said to Ann when she was sobbing in our hotel room on Election Night, we left it all out on the field, but we didn't bring our A-game. I made too many slipups, and I failed to establish any connection with the American public. Going up against an accomplished communicator like the President, somebody many Americans regard as a transformative historic figure, my shortcomings as a campaigner proved too much to overcome. In my defense, all I can say is what I have said all along: I'm not a politician or an icon. I'm an emotionally challenged sixty-five-year-old chief executive and private-equity investor, who served one term as governor of Massachusetts. Next time you are trying to unseat a duly elected and sitting President, something that has only been done twice in eighty years, you might want to put your money behind a professional politician.
Thank you all again, and goodbye—I've gotta go. Ann and I are driving up to Canada for a vacation, and I'm not sure what we'll do with the dog.

Thinking about deer season already? Me too. Take the time now to scout a good spot for your deer stand and it could pay big dividends in the fall. Here are 10 spots to keep an eye out for.
#10 – Beaver Dams
Find a dam on a deep river without many other places to cross. Deer don't love crossing on beaver dams, but in cold weather they will pick it over getting wet.
#9 – Saddles of long ridges
This spot is all about visibility. Plus it forms a natural deer funnel.
#8 – Fence crossings
Find a spot where deer can cross easier. Low fences with no livestock on either side work great.
#7 – Finger ridges
Put your stand on the "palm" and enjoy a view of multiple ridges. More ridges means more areas for traffic.
#6 – Brush strips that extend into fields
Deer stay covered as long as possible when going to feed. Catch them where they step out.
#5 – Treelines
Seems obvious but treelines are the road systems for deer.
#4 – Overgrown areas beneath hardwoods
Big bucks survive by staying hidden most of their lives. These spots provide lots of hidey-holes for wise old bucks.
#3 – Habitat changes
Any spot where there's a drastic change in landscape or vegetation. Always attracts deer for some reason.
#2 – Remote fruit trees
You'd drive an extra 30 minutes to get your favorite food, right? So will deer.
#1 – Standing corn
While not everyone has access to corn fields, they can make for outstanding honey holes. Sweet corn is even better.
So where are you putting your stand this year? What did I miss?

Where do you live and with whom?
I live in the foothills of western Maine with my husband, Steve, and our five children: Calvin, Ezra, Adelaide, Harper and Annabel. Also joining us are two house cats, twenty laying hens, one duck, four sheep, two pigs, eighteen turkeys and fifty-eight chickens. Oh my! It's a full and lively house, this home of ours. Almost two years ago, we moved to this two hundred year old farmhouse. Our days have been busy ever since with the work of repairing it, bringing the homestead back to life, and filling up the barnyard.

Describe your home decorating style.
Homey and comfortable. I love our wood floors and wood furniture, and I think a good balance of soft is essential, too. Natural fibers are important to me, both ethically and aesthetically. There's a lot of handmade around here — many things I've made, we've made as a family, or that have come from friends who make things! And out of both necessity and desire, I love old things: those that tell a story, that we're somehow connected to, that have life left in them, that serve a function in making our days smoother or more comfortable. I believe strongly in making our home child-friendly, meaning that their work and projects are just as important as the adults' in the house. So keeping their things out and accessible is important to me, as well as decorating for and with them, and at their height and interest.

Did you decide to decorate in this style or was there an evolution to your decorating process?
Our style reflects our life, to be certain, and like our lives and our interests and passions, it's ever-changing to suit our needs. I'm a perpetual furniture-mover. Sometimes when I notice that we are feeling stale and uninspired, I know that it's time to change up the space we live and work in a bit. It often gives us just the boost we need to get back on track and in harmony.
Where are your favorite places to shop for home items?
My grandparents' attics! Followed closely by our parents' basements, thrift stores, flea markets, roadsides, handmade artisans and of course, Etsy.
[From left to right: Wine Barrel Swing by WineBarrelConcepts; Fledglings No. 2 bluebirds original watercolor painting by GollyBard; Mason Bee House by andrewsreclaimed.]
What is your favorite part about your home?
This house feels very honest to me – solid and honest. It isn't fancy or full of intricate architectural details, and yet it's stood here, sturdy as can be, housing families for two hundred years. It was built simply and modestly, but with strength and intention to last. I really appreciate that. It feels as though it can hold us all well, yet also gives us the freedom to make changes without fear of messing with any historical integrity.

Does your home hold any strong memories?
One of my favorite memories is the evening that all six of us (the youngest wasn't born yet) ate apple pie on the kitchen floor in the dark after we signed the papers with the bank to make this house ours. It was a long road to home ownership for us, and it took us years (and years) to find and buy the place we wanted to call home for the rest of our lives. The moment that finally happened, with the kitchen full of my dancing children and husband, the noise of country life outside our door, and the promise of what was to come, was a very special one that I hold dear.

Ice hockey legend Gordie Howe, known as 'Mr Hockey', died on Friday at the age of 88.
Howe played in more professional hockey games than anyone in history and the Saskatchewan native is the only player to have competed in the NHL during five decades.
Through his time in the World Hockey Association and NHL, Howe played in 2,421 games played, scored 1,071 goals and had 1,518 assists for 2,589 points.
Wayne Gretzky has since passed him with 1,072 goals and 2,297 assists for 3,369 points, but nobody will probably ever play in more games than number nine.
Just for good measure, Howe returned to the ice in 1997 for one game with the Detroit Vipers of the IHL, making him the only player to play professionally in six decades.
Blessed as a gifted skater with an ambidextrous shot, Howe is the only player to score at least 20 goals in 22 straight seasons. The 23-time All-Star led the Detroit Red Wings to four Stanley Cup titles and he led the league in scoring six times.
Howe was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972. A statue in his honour was placed outside of Detroit's Joe Louis Arena in 2007 and he received a lifetime achievement award from the NHL in 2008. A year later, Howe's wife of 56 years, Colleen, died.
Howe then began to experience declining health and dementia and lived with his four children on a rotating basis until his death. He suffered a stroke in 2014, but initially made a startling recovery.
After one season with the Omaha Knights of the USHL, Howe made his NHL debut with the Red Wings in 1946. When he retired from the NHL in 1971, he was the league's all-time leading scorer.
Following a year in the Red Wings front office, Howe signed with the Houston Aeros of the World Hockey Association to play with his two sons, Mark and Marty.
Howe played in the WHA for six seasons, winning the league MVP award in 1974 at the age of 46. During the 1979 WHA All-Star Game, Howe played with then-18-year-old Gretzky.
In the WHA, Howe spent four seasons with the Aeros and his final two years with the New England Whalers. When the Whalers joined the NHL in 1979, Howe remained with the team and played in 80 games with 15 goals and 26 assists.
The Whalers made the playoff in their first NHL season, but were swept by the Montreal Canadiens in the first round. Howe retired for a second time after the season at the age of 52.

From Claire Farnsworth of Seahawks.com
SEATTLE — The San Francisco 49ers' game against the Green Bay Packers was there for the watching on the Seahawks' trip back from their season opener against the Panthers in Charlotte on Sunday.
The satellite TV feed aboard their Delta Airlines charter flight provided a chance for some early scouting of the Seahawks' opponent in their nationally televised home opener on Sunday night at CenturyLink Field.
"I watched until like halftime, then I feel asleep," All-Pro free safety Earl Thomas said in the locker room at Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Monday.
"I didn't watch too much of it," All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman said. "I saw the highlights."
What? Are the Seahawks overconfident? No, it's just that they're not overly concerned with what the 49ers might have done against the Packers – even Colin Kaepernick, who passed for 412 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday after running for 181 yards in a playoff game against Green Bay in January.
They plan to channel their efforts into watching video from a different 49ers game.
"We didn't watch the Green Bay game last year, I don't think we're going to watch much of it this year," Sherman said. "I think we'll watch our tape and see how he did against us. We'll judge it from there."
The Seahawks faced Kaepernick only once last season, because Alex Smith was still the starter in the Week 7 game the 49ers won 13-6 in San Francisco. By the time the 49ers came to CenturyLink Field on Dec. 23, Kaepernick wasn't just the starter, but he was starting to take the league by storm.
But the Seahawks held him to 31 yards on seven carries and a 19-of-36, 244-yard passing performance. Kaepernick did throw a TD pass, but the Seahawks also intercepted him, sacked him and hit him four times. They also got two touchdown runs by Marshawn Lynch, two TD catches by Doug Baldwin and Sherman's 90-yard scoring return of a field goal attempt that Red Bryant blocked in their 42-13 victory.
"We're going to focus on what we can control and get back to the basics," said Thomas, who played a huge role in limiting Panthers QB Cam Newton to a career-low 125 passing yards on Sunday.
"I'm excited for another opportunity to show how good we are. Both teams have made this a great rivalry and we're looking forward to the challenge."
The game at CenturyLink Field last December was the last one the 49ers would lose until the Super Bowl. It also was victory No. 4 in the Seahawks' five-game winning streak to close the regular season. The Seahawks won seven of their last eight regular-season games and then tacked on the franchise's first road playoff win since 1983 in a wild-card game against the Washington Redskins.
The secret to the Seahawks' late-season success wasn't a secret at all; it was taking each game as it came and focusing only on that game. Pete Carroll preached it; the players then went out and practiced what their coach was preaching.
It might be a new season – and one with heightened expectations – but some things never change.
"It's always one game at a time, and this is a perfect example of it," Sherman said. "It's just another game, another chance for us to put some good tape out there and play disciplined."

Democrats rip tax-break bill, measure gets initial House OK
After a ferocious debate today, the House gave initial approval to a bill that would give a two-year tax timeout to businesses on equipment purchases.
Democrats urged defeat of House Bill 1141, saying it would reduce taxes that counties and school districts rely on.
Rep. Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Boulder, called it "highly irresponsible." Rep. Jeanne Labuda, D-Denver, called it "terrible.
The bill sponsor, Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, saying the tax time-out would stimulate the economy and create jobs.
"House Bill 1141 creates an incentive, an opportunity, an encouragement for the only source of prosperity that exists, the private sector, to expand, retrofit, grow, relocate, hire more people," Holbert said. "At the end of these two years … we will come out of this … with more more sales tax revenues, more income tax revenues and more companies employing more people and that is our responsibility as a General Assembly."
The bill involves what is often called Colorado's most hated tax: the business personal property tax, which is charged on equipment purchases from computers to high-end equipment. Businesses must pay a tax on the property for the life of the equipment. Holbert's bill exempts all business property purchased in 2012 or 2013 for the life of the property.
Labuda noted that during the committee hearing, groups representing schools, cities and counties testified against the measure.
"Do you know who did come and support this bill? Qwest, where they made enough money last year so the CEO was paid $13.5 million," she said. "We're giving another tax break to Qwest? They don't need it."
That prompted a reply from Rep. Robert Ramirez, R-Westminster.
"I've heard this a burden on our local government and our state government. I've heard government doesn't like it," he said. "What about the burden on the people, the small-business owners, the people we work with every single day? Let's think about them when we're talking about this … so we can stimulate the business economy in this state."
A fiscal analysis of the bill shows if it passed the state would be required to put an additional $37.5 million toward schools in fiscal year 2013-2014, and $76.5 million by the next fiscal year.
Rep. Jim Riesberg, D-Greeley, tried to amend the bill to give the tax break only on purchases made from Colorado companies, but it failed. Holbert said he thought of something like that, but was told there were commerce issues.
Rep. Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, amended the bill to make sure schools are protected if it passes, otherwise, "We're telling kids, 'You're going to eat it.'" His amendment requires the state to reimburse schools the full amount they are expected to lose under the bill. The amendment passed 62-2, but Ferrandino said he still can't support the bill.
"Over the long haul, this has a huge impact on our kids' education," he said.
Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, said commitments already have been made to schools, pointing to a budget deal reached Tuesday. That remark that drew laughs and murmurs from the Democratic side of the aisle. Although the budget for next year calls for cuts to schools that were less than expected, Rep. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, said the cuts still are devastating.
Waller said he resented the implication "that we don't care about kids in Colorado."

Vermicomposting Troubleshooting
Problem: Excess water
This water comes from several sources. You added water to the bedding when you first set up your bin. Secondly, you add more water every time you add food waste because 80-90% of food waste is water. The third source, however, comes from the water produced by the microorganisms and worms as they break down the waste, giving off carbon dioxide and water as end products.
The water vapor produced during these metabolic processes condenses on the smooth, non-porous walls of the plastic container. This condensation water picks up dissolved nutrients as it trickles down through the vermicompost to the bottom. It is sometimes referred to as "castings tea" or "vermicompost tea." Following are several ways to solve the problem of excess moisture.
Solution #1
Add dry bedding Adding dry shredded paper to the surface of the worm bin very two to three weeks helps to reduce excess moisture problems. As the vapor pressure inside the bin increases, the water vapor condenses on the lid and "rains" on the new dry bedding, making it damp. Within a few days, the excess moisture distributes itself throughout the bin and water standing in the bottom is less of a problem.
According to Mary Appelhof, author of Worms Eat My Garbage, the worms seem to like the oxygen-rich layer near the fresh bedding on the surface. Regular additions of the carbon source which bedding provides also seem to improve functioning of the whole system.
Solution #2
Draw off with a turkey baster Much of the liquid at the bottom is waste excreted by the worms and not good in their living space. Some people collect this excess liquid so they can apply diluted quantities of it to their house plants. Press a strainer into the soggy bedding in the bottom of the bin. The castings tea seeps through and is easily drawn up into the turkey baster without having bedding clog the opening.
Solution #3
Pour off or drain Tilting the bin and holding back the bedding while you pour off the vermicompost tea is possible, but may require two people to do the job. If the previous techniques don't work, and your bin is in a location where excess water is a continual problem, Mary Appelhof recommends drilling one hole near the bottom of one side of the bin and plugging it with a cork or rubber stopper. On the few occasions when you have to drain it, just remove the plug.
Solution #4
Make a peat-moss "worm" A Kalamazoo worm worker, Jean DeMott, shared with Appelhof her ingenious way of dealing with excess water in her bin. She reused an old pair of pantyhose by cutting one leg off and filling it with peat moss. Closing both ends with rubber bands, she placed the giant peat-moss "worm" deep into her worm bin and let it absorb the castings tea. She then used the peat moss which contained all the nutrients from the worm bin as part of her potting mixture when she repotted plants.
Problem: Mighty Mites
One indicator of a too-wet bin is the presence of tiny red mites. Each one seems about the size of a period or a little larger. At one time people thought that mites would harm the worms, but it just turns out they are at the feed trough like all the rest of the creatures. However, they are not very attractive.
Add more bedding to absorb the extra moisture then test to see if you've removed the mite problem. Place a piece of white bread on the surface of the bin food overnight. In the morning, check to see if there are any red mites on it. If there are, either cut back on the amount of food in the bin or add more bedding.
Problem: Air, Food & Water – Necessary for Life
Sometimes the bin will begin to take on a sour odor, worms will be sluggish and seem to be dying. One or more conditions exacerbate this situation: not enough free air circulating in the bin, bin contents are too wet, or there is more food than the worms can handle.
To increase air circulation, first check to see that the holes in the bin have not become clogged. Aerate the bin by leaving the top off for a few hours a day until the contents dry out.
To reduce moisture level, you can add more dry shredded paper for bedding. Stir the paper so that it is well mixed into the bin to soak up the excess moisture.
For overfeeding, stop feeding the worms for four to five days. Check the bin to be sure the old food is being consumed. Dispose of food waste in your outdoor food digester or divide the worms and start another bin.
Problem: Fruit Flies
Fruit flies can be a problem, especially in the warmer months. Bury the food waste in the bedding so they won't have easy access. However, fruit flies sometimes are brought into the bin on fruit peels. To rid the bin of these pests, pour of cup of apple cider vinegar in an open container and set it beside the bin. It will attract the fruit flies and they will drown. It is important to not put the container in the bin — if it tips over the acidity will kill the worms.
Problem: Molds, Fungi, Yeasts
This is only a problem if someone who helps to care for the bin has allergies. Very few people are affected by the natural breakdown of waste food in the bin. The allergy affected person can be in charge of other activities such as harvesting and using castings in the garden.

Fr Allan being prevented from officiating, instead of Compline and Benediction last night we held an informal chant practice session instead, which was quite handy. It was good to go over a number of items, and a happy presage of Advent to begin with singing through the whole of "O come, O come, Emmanuel", with its plainsong melody – since it is the practice in the parish to use this every Sunday of Advent, most appropriately. We also ran through Richard Proulx's settings of the Alleluia, Memorial Acclamation and Great Amen to this melody, which will be used at ordinary Mass in the parish this Advent.
That done as a good vocal warm-up, we sang through the Lord's Prayer in both Latin and English, and then tackled a number of other familiar chants, paying attention to phrasing and meaning and all the little details that are good to reinforce, such as quietening and ending each phrase with a slight rallantando. What better than to sing the Ave verum – in organum, with yours truly singing a fifth below the others (well, trying to), producing that barbarous sound? If it can be done properly, the resonance and unusual sound it gives can be quite decent... when perfected.
We sang through the Salve Regina also, again paying attention to phrasing and expression, before tackling what we really needed to revise: the Nunc dimittis from Compline, since fitting its words to its proper Gospel canticle tone can be tricky. This done, we ended with Kyrie eleison, as our prayer to the Lord in closing. A good practice, and then farewell, with belated best wishes for the feast of St Cecilia, among whose clients we count ourselves and our little inchoate schola.

Buchi Recipe
Buchi or Butsi are glutinous rice balls covered in sesame seeds filled usually with sweetened red bean paste which are then deep fried. In the Philippines, they are usually served at Chinese restaurants as dessert but it could also pass as a snack as they could be really heavy and filling. This Buchi recipe has extra ingredient for a crispier Buchi!
I wanted to give Buchi a try for some time now and because I have nothing much to do last weekend, I thought to make an experiment. I tried making a bean paste from canned kidney beans..hehe..Ok, it was more because I do not have the red bean paste or even just red beans lying around and I was really in the mood to make Buchi. As it turn out, it actually tasted good as well. The recipe for Red Bean Paste using kidney beans can be found below at the bottom of this post.
The only problem I had with my first attempt to make Buchi was that they would pop while frying, which is really not so much of a big deal, only that they didn't look so nice on the photos. So I tried to give it another go today to see if I can stop them from popping and maybe be able to get some good pics. I tried frying different batch at varying temperatures. And this is what I learn…the Buchi pops if they are cooked in too high temperature. So I lower the heat to low and at last no popping Buchi, but then after they floated to the top (which usually means that they are done) and I put them on a wire rack to drain, they became soft and saggy. So I put them back to the hot oil and cooked them longer until they turn a bit more brown. Now they are perfect.
I also heard about Buchi having Ube or purple yam filling and what do you know… I have some of my Purple Yam Jam freezing in the fridge. So might as well try it too right!!! This Buchi recipe has also something extra… I added some potato flakes. The Buchi I made last weekend were without potato flakes and they were fine but I like these ones with potato flakes better because the outer skin is crispy.

- 1 1/2 cups glutinous rice flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup mashed potato flakes - (optional)
- 3/4 cup warm water - (+ 1/2 cup if adding potato flakes)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup red bean paste or Ube jam
- In a small bowl, dissolve sugar and salt in the warm water.
- In a bigger bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and potato flakes and then add the sugar water and mix until they form a dough. You might need to add a bit of water or more rice flour to get the right consistency. It should be soft and bit wet but not too sticky.
- From this dough, form small balls about 1 1/2 inch in size.
- Press each ball flat using both palms. The dough should not make big cracks on the edges if it has the right consistency.
- Add some filling on the center (about half teaspoon) and then gather the edges to enclose the filling inside. Roll again between your palms to make the ball smooth and round.
- Once all balls are filled, it is time to cover them with sesame seeds. Place enough sesame seeds on a flat surface. Wet your palms with some drops of water and rub them together. Take a ball and roll it a few times between your palms. Roll the ball pressing ever so light lightly with sesame seeds.
- In a deep pan or a pot, heat oil over medium heat. Make sure that the oil is deep enough so the balls will be fully submerged while frying. Place enough balls in the hot oil but do not overcrowd. Fry each batch for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and after the balls float to the surface. Drain in a wire rack.
- Serve while warm.
Recipe for Red Bean Paste from Kidney Beans
2 cups (1 can) kidney beans
1/4 cup water
1/4 Sugar
Put all in a mixer or blender and pulse until it becomes fine.
Transfer in a pan and cook under medium heat for about 15 minutes or until it becomes really thick and water is all gone while continuously stirring to prevent from burning.
Let it cool down before using.

how did you make the potato flakes? ( for the Buchi)


text: In 1950s Hollywood there was little in the way of on-screen roles for a young Japanese-American actor, even one rubbing shoulders with Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant and John Wayne. If he wasn't being cast in the role of stereotypical Asian bad guy, he was dubbing over B-movie monster flicks. In 1965, though, his ethnicity played to his advantage, when producer Gene Roddenberry cast him as Hikaru Sulu in a new science-fiction pilot called Star Trek, a role that would secure him lifelong fame.

It's 2015.
When the heck did that happen?
Seriously. It doesn't seem like I graduated from Bethel that long ago. And it especially doesn't seem like Adam and I have been married for almost SEVEN years. Seven.
And I'll be 30 this year. I don't feel a day over 25 and often forget how old I am until I do the quick math.
With these realizations it makes me think a lot of how life can slip away from me if I'm not careful with my time. This year the word that keeps rolling around in the vast expanse of my brain is INTENTIONAL. In order to take in all that is around me and that God provides, I need to be intentional with my time and intentional with my priorities.
Then I came across this book:
Adam and I were on a layover in Dallas when I decided to walk into a bookstore. It was glorious with all of those books around! It seems like I never take time to look for books that I want to read. Often I am looking for books for my kids. But then I decided that I would let myself buy a few books. This is one I bought just in case you were worried I stole it. 😉
In the book, Gretchen Rubin describes ways that she made her home feel more "homey" after discovering she felt homesick in her own home. Each month for nine months she focused on a different aspect with the goal in mind to rediscover what home is to her. For instance one month she focused on family, another she focused on her neighborhood. It was a great and inspiring read and I greatly encourage you to read it.
This couldn't have been a better book to reach for with that word INTENTIONAL floating around in my head.
So I decided that I would take this exercise and put it to work in my life. Each month I will focus on an area in my life that I want to be (here's that dang word again…) intentional.
I would like to complete my exercise in nine months similar to Gretchen Rubin's exercise.
I'm calling it the Intentional Project.
You bet your bottom dollar!
My first month (February) my focus is on SELF.
So this month I am making time to read a book. It's an autobiography, but a book none-the-less that isn't for school. It's for me. Something I haven't taken time to do for months, maybe even a year.
I'm also trying out a new devotional She Reads Truth. I've seen great things about it on various blogs and finally strolled over to the sight to take a further look. Folks, it looks really good. And I'm really excited to delve deeper into the study.
I have also started running again. It feels awesome! Dana, in case you're wondering it's a slow mile, but I keep going without any tears. 🙂
At this point these are the areas I'm using to further explore self. I can already feel a calmness in myself and I pray it will continue.
I don't have all of the months figured out, but I have a general idea. At the beginning of each month I will post what my focus for that month will be primarily for accountability. Because I know if I don't have people what the heck is going on, I could:
1. Forget what I'm doing
2. Lose interest in what I'm doing, even if it is important to me
So, folks, don't hesitate to ask me if you would like about what I'm experiencing on this crazy journey! 🙂
