A new day has dawned on the
shores of Jamaica For the first
tine in history, the plight of the

conmunity seems to be getting
some well-deserved support.

dfic reference to the exact nature
of the violence or wfio influenced
this historic position, this is surely
a day for the LAG conmunity of
Jamaica to reflect as we cele-

equality for gays and lesbians in
Jamaica has been going on

ize. Let us take a monent to

CREATING A BALANCED HEALTH REGIME Part 2 of 3
In the last issue v\e talked about
the four health spheres: physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual.
In this issue, we will explore the
concept of the spiritual sphere.
The majority of GLBT Jamaicans
are raised within religious tradi-
tions and may feel conflict be-
tween this indoctrination and
their personal experience of real-
ity their innate knowing that
same-gender attraction need not
predude a rich and rewarding
spiritual life. This internal conflict
can lead to serious emotional and
physical consequences so we all
need to assess our own spiritual
yearnings and pursue a path that
satisfies them Sone find that they
are able to overlook this conflict
and remain within their familial
faith. Qhers seek new beliefs or
spiritual paths while still others
rqect a spiritual path altogether.
Ftegardless of the choice made, it
is inportant to find a path that af-
firms our value as unique expres-
sions of Divine aeativity while at
the same time allows for conpati-
bility with our sexual orientation
so that we do not feel pressured
into living a life of deceptions and
denials. There are many spiritual
paths that satisfy these aiteria
Sone are structured and revolve
around a conmunity of believers;
others are more individualized
and can be practiced in the pri-
vacy of your home. Bther v\ay,
your spiritual health will benefit
from niaking a carefully consid-
ered dedsion. In the next issue
we will examine a sinple tech-
nique that helps to simultaneously
inprove all your health spheres.
International News
In an unprecedented dedsion to
remove the influence of the
Catholic Church on the Spanish
sodety, Spanish Prine Mnister
Jose Luis Ffcidriquez Zapatero has
approved a bill to permit gay
marriage in Spain. Once the bill
passes the cabinet and Spain's
parlianent, coiples could start
taking ip this freedom in the early
part of next year. The dedsion has
not come, however, without harsh
aitidsm and condemnation by the
Catholic Church and conservative
oppositions. According to a press
release by the Spanish Bishops
Conference, this dedsion is like
releasing a virus into the sodety
that will eventually produce very
negative effects. Fllolic opinion
polls have also suggested
significant support for the
viewpoint of the church and
opposition. On the other hand,
representatives of the Spanish
gay and lesbian conmunity are
dting an end to the church's
long-standing discriminatory
position and assert that this
move will improve the
normalisation of homosexuality in
the Spanish sodety. Under the
new bill, gay coiples will also
have adoption rights, which will
be limited to only Spanish
children to prevent any aoss-
border legal challenge. Qher
countries where gay marriage is
legal include Belgium, The
f^herlands, IVbssachusetts in
the U.S., British Columbia,
Vancouver, f^Jova Scotia, Ontario
and Quebec in Canada IVbny
other countries also offer
domestic partnership or similar
benefits. Fiecently the US House
of Senate voted against a
constitutional ban on gay
marriage in the United States of
America, an issue currently under
heavy debate there.

Gates declares Afghan war strategy is working
Now it's all good in Afghanistan. The strategy is working. The goal to hand over the keys to the Afghans in 2014 can be met. The security climate is improving while Regional Command-East, South, and South-west remain in a constant kinetic posture. And you can eat chicken in Marja!
Taliban Bombs Hit New High; 1500 in November Alone
Good data provided by the Danger Room on IED's. Sadly, a new record was set this past month of November in Afghanistan when more than 1,500 new IED's were constructed and emplaced. However, somehow there is good news in all of this because the majority of IED strikes were less lethal and produced lower casualties. I thought the idea behind COIN was to win the support of the populace by securing them. If the numbers of IED strikes are a metric to gauge the intensity of an insurgency, and this number continues to increase over time (and set new monthly total records), then where is the good news in the fact that November's IED totals set a new record? Obviously we will always take comfort in the efforts to improve survivability and detection, as well as having less casualties, but really, this fact is not good news nor does it shed a good light on how effective or successful US/NATO COIN operations are.
Final note, why do General Officers who fail in their missions (i.e. defeat IED's) get promoted and assume additional responsibilities? Where is the accountability?
Handover to Afghan troops will start in few months
A lot happens when the Secretary of Defense visits the battlefield. Miraculous progress is suddenly noted. Karzai is suddenly a good guy because he stood stoic during the recent Wiki-imbroglio. IED strike totals are up, but it doesn't matter because no one is getting hurt. And so on and so on… Now we hear that Nawa district in Helmand Province is "our most advanced district" and will be the first point of security transition from U.S. to Afghan troops "in a few months." Well like the First Sergeant used to say "the checks in the mail; there will be trucks on the drop zone; we will be serving Hot-A's after this mission" and so on and so on…anything to motivate the troops and keep the press happy.
U.S. soldier dies of wounds in Wassit
Lest we forget that there are 50,000 troops deployed to Iraq still under fire. This week a soldier assigned to a Provincial Reconstruction Team, north of Kut was gunned down by a sniper and died of his wounds. The grind continues.Share

No. 109 Turquoise
The use of eyeshadows can change your eye by playing with its shape and size. It is the magic that gets your eyes deeper or more sensual depending on the chosen colour combinations. Match your refills to multiply your options.
The pearly eyeshadow is ideal for a sophisticated look and perfect for an evening out. It has a lovely texture that leaves the skin feeling fresh. Products with the pearly effect are recommended for deep-set or smaller eyes as they bring the eyes to life with a shimmer.
Packaged in a unique, varnished bamboo case and attractively presented in a cotton pouch with drawstring, ZAO makeup is both a beautiful gift and an item to treasure.
Suitable for all skin types including the most sensitive ones.
Basic Ingredients:
Micronised bamboo stem powder: Regenerates the epidermis
A white substance extracted from the nodes of the bamboo. It is mainly composed of pure silica and has been widely used in oriental medicine. Organic silica, which is a component of connective tissue, is present throughout the human body and regenerates the epidermis as it is involved in the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Over time, our capital silica diminishes causing demineralisation and loss of skin elasticity. It is therefore necessary to regularly replenish the skin with transcutaneous supplies.
Organic rice powder: Softens and mattifies
Rice powder is one of the oldest cosmetic ingredients. It has the ability to eliminate fat from the skin without clogging pores by adjusting sebaceous secretion.
CI77820 Micronised silver powder: Natural preservative
These micro-particles of pure silver are antiseptic (especially on skin and mucous membranes) and antibacterial as well, thereby preserving the product and protecting the skin. Microsilver is often used in creams to treat burns. Almost all products in the ZAO range (except the two lipbalms) contain micro-particles of pure silver (a natural preservative).
Apply the lighter colour over the entire eyelid using a sponge applicator. Apply a medium intensity eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eye and under the brow with an orbit brush. Finish with a thin line of dark eyeshadow along the contour of your eye, use an angled brush to intensify your eyes.
Tip: ZAO Beauty tip: For a subtle touch, apply a very light colour in the corner of the eye following the "V", this will make your eyes sparkle, so don''t forget it! If there is pearly deposit in the wrinkles around your eyes, just use your brush to remove excess powder and apply some compact powder. It''s quick and easy.
How to refill your product:
Thanks to a simple and innovative system, quite all our products are refillable. Genuinely economical, the refills reduce costs and packaging, while also allowing you to free your creativity and play with our wide range of colours. Try and change all the shades easily to fulfil your desires. The bamboo products also come in a classy pouch, making them even more sustainable and durable – so they can hold one refill after another after another... Nothing is easier! Get the refills and let your creativity run wild!

Do Your Beliefs About Wealth Affect Your Search For A Legitimate Online Home Based Business Opportunity?
Everyone holds beliefs about money, wealth and achievement. Do your strong beliefs system and positive thoughts affect your motivation to build a legitimate business? Your beliefs do empower your thoughts and your emotions evoke strong emotional feelings concerning wealth within your heart. Often these very deep seated beliefs are formulated early in our lives and most often inherited from our parents and grand parents.
These beliefs can make us feel unworthy of riches, thoughts of not being good enough, not deserving enough and as far as thinking that rich people are not as good as poor people. For some there is the belief that a lack of wealth actually protects them from the 'harm' that riches may bring thus leaving them with very negative thoughts regarding money.
These kinds of beliefs holds anyone in a vice and thereby preventing a person from moving forward and preventing any one from evolving into a creative force of energy. These types of feelings could feel comfortable and normal for some and the thought of even breaking free would create unsettling feelings. Often some people do settle back and accept those familiar feeling rather than move themselves out and beyond the comfortable status.
If our own energy blocks the potential to attract wealth we will never create it so much work is required to move forwards to grow and adjust to a different mind set. During this period of time one needs to embrace the discomfort and move forward embracing these feelings with a deep breath and thrust to push forwards. While these thoughts may be strong, have you felt this way even for a short time period.
Our beliefs are buried deep within our subconscious and these beliefs can actually sabotage the many things we try to do. Uncovering these beliefs can be a daunting task however the freedom and enjoy breaking away from these beliefs is an awesome moment to behold.
Can You Change Your Beliefs About Wealth And Begin Building An Online Home Based Business Opportunity?
Scientists have found through study and research that money and abundance is simply forms of universal energy. These notions of money and abundance are simply our own internal beliefs which can be very destructive because is if you truly believe you do not deserve to have it, you will not have it. In the field of science they have discovered an Emotional Freedom Technique based on similar principles to Acupuncture with out needles a favorable environment can be created where the body can clear its own energetic blockages. These blockages of physical, mental and emotional conditions can be dissolved allowing the body to flow freely and enabling the body to heal.
The process is very much like peeling away the layers of an onion where once a layer is stripped away another layer is revealed. The amazing and exciting reality is the clearing is permanent and the more that is cleared and unpeeled the easier it becomes to sow new seeds to germinate and grow. The greater the energy given to this process the more effective the clearing becomes creating a constant process of removal and renewal.
Convincing and telling ourselves that we are deserving of wealth and abundance is a noble gift we can give ourselves that is beyond our wildest dreams that needs to be embedded in our subconscious minds. Our universe is a naturally a wonderful and generously abundant place for all to share where we need to learn how to ask and accept it with grace and humility. The universe is naturally a wonderfully generously abundant place & the abundance is for all of us to share, we only need to learn how to ask for it then accept it with grace & gratitude.
So taking the first important steps towards creating money and wealth can be surprisingly simple and easy. So the challenge for you is embarking on life for the living and enjoy the best our your potential and abundance by searching out a Legitimate Online Home Based Business Opportunity.

Where Is The Legitimate Online Home Based Business Opportunity?
How many websites, blogs and emails have you seen with mammoth promises for marketing e-books and programs that you could receive and purchase which have not really changed your marketing attraction.
How many online home based business opportunities have you found?
You have seen the ones:
- Maybe they promised you a seven-figure income that has not delivered one solitary click on your website or even delivered you one single person to talk to!
- Has the technology talk overwhelmed you just a little?
- Or suggest that you are just lacking a bit of motivation – that is all YOUR fault!
Trust me I also know personally, how hard it is to work by yourself. I too have numerous dust collectors of the next great online money making tips & tricks neatly filed away to be opened …
It seems to be the right of passage but those days are over. It is time for this legitimate online home based business opportunity and it is your time to finally make the kind of money you deserve.
Yes, this has happened to many of us before. Please DO NOT feel for one moment that you are alone!
Here is how to tell that you are not going to be involved with a legitimate home business at all.
* You have received the email from some one who claims they make thousands of dollars a month and connect you to a ranting sales page.
* Then there is the audio and video testimonials and the screen shots of Clickbank accounts just rolling in the bucks day in and day out
* So you scroll down the page to find at the bottom 5 minutes later the price is "just"a little more than you can afford.
* And then you feel totally compelled to buy it occasionally (okay too often) despite the information you find has no value to you
* Plus the bonuses that will take you right over the top in your marketing with the never-before-seen package
* Oh yes the tug that there are only 7 copies left, HURRY, HURRY before it is gone before you miss out for ever
* So you have bought it and then… NOTHING that's what and you have spent a chunk of your hard-earned money on some thing useless because for what ever the reason, no action has ever been taken
Oh, on to the next slick sales page … oh ya, oh ya!
Have you felt that vicious cycle!!
It happened to me again and again and I was completely frustrated! So I can relate to what you are going through.
So are you still spinning you wheels?
Maybe you would like to slow down and work with a legitimate online home based business opportunity that:
Provides you FREE Member Information And Resources
Download and Read Your FREE Report "The 8 Lies" of the Home Business Industry, PART 1 and PART 2
Attend at least 1 Opportunity Call or Listen to a recorded call.
Completely Review the content of the web site and the free content area so you gain a greater understanding of this opportunity.
Attend at least 1 Industry Training call and review the content regarding the opportunity
Yes, I agree, there are many offers and many things that look very enticing. But remember, if it looks to good to be true it is and if you are serious about being a successful online marketer then now is the time to get the information you need to allow yourself to make an intelligent decision based on facts not fantasy.

Aam Aadmi Khaas Baat
Latest in the series of embarrassing revelations about the ostentatious lifestyle that Aam Aadmi Party leaders, and in particular their supremo Arvind Kejriwal seem to leading, is a set of bills for catering at his official residence. Raised by The Delhi Tourism and Tpt Development Corporation, they are for meals provided by Taj Mahal Hotel at exorbitant rates of Rs 12,472 and Rs 16,025 per plate (on 11 Feb 2016 and 12 Feb 2016). This comes on the heels of revelations of similar extravagances at public expense – Rs 1 Crore worth samosas (including Rs 47 Lakh worth at office and residence of Arvind Kejriwal), Rs 1.05 Crore paid to a PR agency for promoting Kejriwal's social media outreach program 'Talk to AK' in Punjab, Goa and Gujarat, and the move to pay … Read entire article »

An Open Letter to Aakar Patel
Dear Mr Patel, This is in response to your piece published in today's TOI under a presumptuously named column 'AakaarVani'. I'm writing this to correct you on some factual and a lot of perceptual errors that seem to behind almost every sentence in the piece. I'm writing in the hope that you may correct these, unless of course these aren't inadvertent, but deliberate spin that you want to give to bolster the argument you make in the title of the piece. Let me start by pointing out the irony in the title itself, since having written it yourself, you obviously didn't spot it. That an article criticizing the army and saying a lot of things about the faujis is titled "Nothing can be said about our faujis, they're above criticism". If irony … Read entire article »

Close Encounters
The trouble with opposition generated and media sustained hype about anything that could be used to embarrass the government is manifold. First, there seems to be no issue too serious, no institution too sacrosanct to avoid politicisation and sensationalizing. We recently witnessed major opposition parties casting serious aspersions on the credibility of the army by asking the government to furnish proof of the operations that the DGMO briefed media about. One regional leader of the … Read entire article »

Karan Johar and Capt Boycott
Had Sir Charles Boycott been alive today, he may have empathized with Karan Johar. Wanting to get his lands harvested amidst protests from tenant farmers in 19th Century Ireland, Sir Charles resorted to hiring 50 workers from outside the county to do the work. The catch was that they had to work under protection of a 1000 strong force and the resultant cost was several times the profit from the harvest. Faced with a similar … Read entire article »

Mirza Ghalib and the veterans
Mirza Asad-Ullah Khan Ghalib died a poor, miserable man. Like most geniuses, his work got its true approbation long after he wasn't around to bask in the glory. But the lack of recognition was only part of the reason for his misery. He had much too high an opinion of himself to hanker for praise from lesser mortals, though admittedly it never hurt to be extoled at mushairas. The major cause of his melancholy was … Read entire article »

There will be blood
Regimental Colours or flag occupy a pride of place in any army unit, bordering on reverence. They are housed in the unit quarter guard, and 'paraded' on special occasions, always carried by an officer, and escorted by a guard. In formal parades, the spectators are expected to rise and those in uniform salute when the colours march past them. These symbols of regimental identity originated in the yesteryear, when they served a very practical purpose. … Read entire article »

Don't 'Angry' the Common Man
I wonder if Arnab Goswami has seen Chennai Express. If he has, he didn't seem to have taken Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue, "Don't underestimate the power of an ordinary man", seriously. Or maybe its the other way around, and he overestimated his own and his channels ability to control and direct viewers minds. That's possibly why Times Now moved from reporting the narrative to trying to script it. With provocative hashtags scrolling tantalizingly across the … Read entire article »

Join the army – and die!
Foot in the mouth disease is a common affliction of the Indian politician. It comes in two basic forms – the 'shoot and claim misquote' and 'shoot and apologize'. Dr Bhim Singh, the minister from Bihar was struck down by the latter when he asserted quite indignantly that "people join the army to die". Of course, he duly expressed remorse and apologized following a media driven outrage. But the truth is that one is not surprised to hear the attitude displayed by his remarks. Possibly in the throes of the virulent affliction mentioned earlier, Bhim Singh voiced his opinion on the role of the soldiers – that of cannon fodder, paid to lay down their lives for the great nation that the likes of him govern. And while he was … Read entire article »

So, TCG's cell phone rang at 3:18 this morning. The wee hours of the night don't get much weeer. It was DOB, and to make the experience all that much more alarming, her ringtone is a klaxon sounding fast and very loud, and it's immediately overhead on a shelf above the headboard.
TCG: Hello? Hello?
(Pause to listen to the caller)
TCG: It's three in the morning. We were sound asleep.
(Pause to let that sink in?)
TCG: OK. Goodnight.
UCC: What the fuck?
TCG: Everything's fine. She was bored. Turns out, she'd "lost track of the time".
WISIMH: Think of a pilgrim crawling across desert dunes in circles searching for a fading oasis, wearing handcuffs and a blindfold, and dragging a team of wild horses, and being already mad with thirst, and then add some LSD, some hallucinations of angels dancing on pinheads, and throw in less cognitive function than mold spores, and you begin to get the picture of just how challenging it is to keep fucking track of the time by glancing at a bedside digital clock with enlarged face and "AM" following the time.

"It's a very hot season of the year. I see my children too sweating, having heat rash and they look at me like what are you doing about this thing. Let me be very clear, this problem can be solved. It needs detailed and methodical approach. First work to do is to supply more gas because without gas, I am like a generator owner who can't get fuel, so I can't power my plants.

Here is my effort of this beautiful cake...A modest effort to make something wonderful to look extra special....
Here's how it started...firstly with the Fruit Mince (sometimes called as mince meat)...I adopted the recipe given by them here....I made this fruit mince 2 days in advance in order to let the fruit develop more flavour.
Then Proceeded in making the cake...The recipe for the cake is given at S&SB here...
I dont have to put up the recipe as it is very clearly explained by the girls at S&SB. All I will do is put up pictures of the step by step procedure I have followed for the cake.
1. All Ready to go into the Oven.
2. Perfectly baked and cooling down rapidly.
3. Ready to be decorated.
4. I used store bought ready to use Marzipan (I'm not a huge fondant enthusiast) to decorate the cake. I then proceeded colouring the marzipan using liquid food colours making sure I wore gloves while working in the colours to avoid staining my hands.
Make sure you keep the marzipan wrapped in order to prevent it from drying out completely.
5. Then covered the top part of the cooled cake with plain uncoloured marzipan. (Roll the marzipan on a flat surface and dust the surface with Icing Sugar if needed in order to prevent it from sticking).
6. Using mini cookie cutters,I cut out desired shapes out of the different coloured marzipan.
7. Then went on decorating the cake with the coloured marzipan bits. I also used silver coated sugar balls to essentuate the look of the different shapes.
8. A close-up of the marzipan decorations.
9. To Finish off the decoration with a bit of classy touch is a nice wide Satin Ribbon in magenta to give that extra bit of Oumph.
10. And here it is...one of my best creations to date...(thanks to the ideas given by Rosie and Maria)
It has been an exciting experience working on this bake. My husband was so impressed that he decided to take it to his staff Christmas Party and guess what it was a huge success at the party. And I am truly happy for it.
Hope this has impressed my blogger friends as much...
Thanks to Rosie and Maria for such a lovely round up of this months bake. Please check the others here...
I am definitely looking forward to participate in next months bake.
Until next time...Loads of Love...Amu :-)

Stassi on Jax: "We are Better Off as Friends"
Stassi shares her feelings on the kiss with Jax.
People have to realize that this wasn't the first time we were hearing Tom and Kristen argue. During this time, it was a constant. It was every single day, and because we are all around each other so much, it becomes a part of all the rest of our lives. It was really frustrating me when Tom kept repeating that Kristen just "nags" and fights with him nonstop. Obviously, I feel very strongly about situations like this. I was cheated on, and so many people just viewed me as this miserable nagging person, but I was living everyday with that heartache. I was going everyday feeling hopeless and down about myself and in turn that made me act out. That is exactly what I saw in Kristen. Kristen isn't fighting with him, nagging him, or badgering him about his guitar. It's about the fact that he cheated, and she's carrying that with her every day. I really wanted to try and help Tom understand that, because then maybe he could realize "OK, this is just how she is dealing with the hurt and the pain of being cheated on." At this point, Kristen either needs to break up with Tom and spend some time getting to know herself outside of the relationship, or if she needs to be with him, then they both need to work together and be patient with Kristen's healing.
I find it really hard to articulate what I was feeling about Jax's tattoo then, because it was all very confusing. After the initial shock and selfish excitement of seeing my own name on someone's arm (yes, I know that's a very selfish thing to say), I felt vindicated a little bit. I have been through years of hurt with Jax, and to me, him getting that tattoo was saying, "I was wrong, Stassi, you were right." I think any girl who has ever been cheated on can understand feeling a sense of satisfaction from seeing your ex realize he made a huge mistake when he hurt you. As far as telling my mom, I didn't want to tell her because it makes it look like we were something more than it was. I was Jax's friend. Yes he had wanted to get back together, but that's not what I wanted and the tattoo made it look like we were a couple. And that was NOT the case.
My mom doesn't and will never like Jax. People forget that it wasn't just the cheating that ruined us. We had a very unhealthy relationship for years, and unfortunately my mom witnessed a LOT of it. I was just hoping she could accept him as my friend, because he is friends with all of my friends and that complicated things. I couldn't tell him he had to stay home when it was his best friend's show. But I was very proud of everything my mom had to say to him. DYING! I've never laughed so hard in my life watching my brother's talk with Jax. Where did he get all of this wisdom? It was so sweet to see him so protective of me.
Honestly, it was just really nice to be getting along and having everyone together at Lake Arrowhead. If you can even call that awkward moment with Jax a kiss, it honestly just felt friendly. We were getting along, I appreciated the effort he made apologizing to my family and I felt like, "What the hell! I can at least give him a little peck!" But we both felt awkward. I think it was a moment we both realized that we are better off as friends.

Want to know a great secret for success in prayer and discernment? It's something that we're often lacking in modern times, thanks to mobile devices, technology in general, as well as our interior hunger and misguided attempts to be filled. You might have figured out that what I'm referring to is silence.
Silence, or stillness, absence of noise, is a tenet in most religions for their prayer or meditation. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI said in a series on Christian prayer, "…I would like to speak of the importance of silence in our relationship with God. In Christ's own life and prayer, and especially in his experience of the Cross, we see a constant interplay of word and silence." We can see this in Christ's own example. He who lived all but three of his thirty-three years in silence—these years are spent in ordinary life and work, unknown to the world. Mary, too, is our model—she was silent in her Fiat in the face of the world, she who kept all things and pondered them in her heart. Silence is something significant, something to strive after.
There are several ways to incorporate silence into our lives. In prayer, silence allows us space to hear God speak to us. Obviously most of us won't actually hear audible words from the heavens, but rather in inspirations the Holy Spirit gives us in times of prayer. St. Dorotheus said, "Be on guard against many words, for these extinguish completely the holy and most reasonable thoughts as well as the inspirations coming from heaven." For example, if you always talk and don't allow your friend to speak, then you won't get to know your friend at all. How much more our Friend! "To hear God's Word requires the cultivation of outward and inward silence, so that his voice can resound within our hearts and shape our lives," said Benedict XVI. If we allow Him to speak in the silence, He will reveal His plan for our lives, including that of our vocation.
Silence inside of prayer is one thing, but how can we cultivate this outward and inward silence Benedict XVI referred to? We can be diligent and guard silence. Of course we don't all need to be Desert Fathers and run off to a cave in the wilderness. Most of us need to refine this silence in the midst of our busy work days, inside our homes, both of which can be quite lacking in silence.
Outwardly, we can take steps towards greater amounts of silence in our day. Perhaps we can turn off the TV more often. Is it on in the background making noise and we don't even realize it? Do we watch too many hours in the day? Turn it off for a while. What about the radio? Is it always on with either talk or music? Do you always have it on in the car? Try switching it off sometimes. Allow this silence, even if it's not comfortable at first—maybe increase the time each time. We can also practice silence in other ways besides sound. One thing I am guilty of is reading on my iPhone as I'm going to bed. This, like the rest, isn't necessarily bad but one good practice is to guard silence at night to pray, examine our consciences and be with God mentally as we prepare for sleep at night. Reading and other visual tasks or interruptions are not silence. Take note of your day and how often your senses are put to work. Some of these are unavoidable—like billboards on the highway as you drive, calling your attention. Nevertheless, many of them we are in control of and can begin to limit in order to add a few more minutes of silence in our day so as to allow a little more space for God to speak to us. This exterior practice of silence lends itself to interior silence. Psalm 46:10 says "Be still and know that I am God." How often do we do this? If we are always 'plugged in', always listening to someone else's voice, we aren't allowing ourselves to be still in God's presence.
The practice of silence has another benefit in that it lends itself to the development of virtue. Take, for instance, the four cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance. For prudence, "the virtue that disposes practical reason to discern our true good in every circumstance and to choose the right means of achieving it," silence allows us time to seek God's counsel in our decisions. Exteriorly, it keeps us from speaking too much. Jesus told us that we will be judged for every idle word. If we pause in silence to see if what we say or do is necessary, we will probably make more prudent choices. Justice, "the moral virtue that consists in the constant and firm will to give their due to God and neighbor", is another one that would increase through proper use of silence. On one hand, it is necessary to speak up in the face of injustice or when charity demands it. However, some of the greatest faults against justice: gossip, back-biting, calumny, slander can all be avoided by discreet silence. How many verses in the Bible, how many saints have warned us about our tongue destroying our neighbor!
Fortitude "is the moral virtue that ensures firmness in difficulties and constancy in the pursuit of the good". When we are silent about our neighbors' faults that affront us, when we suffer attacks and misunderstandings and bear it in silence for Christ, we practice fortitude. The "moral virtue that moderates the attraction of pleasures and provides balance in the use of created goods", temperance, also relates to silence. St. Francis de Sales said, "…silence…does not refer so much to a literal use of few words, as to not using many useless words." He goes on to warn about extremes—not being excessively stiff or reserved nor incessantly chattering and babbling on frivolously.
St. Josemaría Escrivá wrote, "Silence is the door-keeper of the interior life." It helps us pray better and be more in touch with God and what He wants to tell us. It seems that it also can be, when applied correctly, the key to greater virtue in our exterior life.

There were such wonderful and thoughtful comments after my last post that I have decided to continue the discussion about this painting. Thank you if you left a comment. I love having other people's opinions, even when I choose to ignore them! It seems most of you were generously encouraging me to include what ever plants and animal combinations are appropriate to my artistic vision. But I am leaning more toward science in this one and have added some red twig Dogwood and some Oregon grape. Both are native to this area, though whether or not they would ever be found in a grouping like this I will not worry about.
I didn't mention that this painting is four feet wide so there is lots of room to play with. I want a dramatic effect as though we have come across this hare in a sunny clearing, with the foreground in shadow. This is causing me such problems and my always helpful family keep pointing out that the snow in shadow looks more like dryer lint than snow.
And this grouping of snow covered berries in shadow looks more like a manatee than anything else! Clearly I need to get back into the studio and work on this.
I am really enjoying the way the edge of the Oregon Grape leaf forms a zig zag. I could never think these things up. Nature amazes me as always!

A Question
This unfinished painting of a snowshoe hare in a winter landscape has crystallized a question that has been looming in my work as, over the past few years, my paintings have become more realistic and less surrealistic. I used to invent plants and creatures and set them in imagined spaces but now I am happier painting "real" plants and animals copied accurately from nature.
But the accurate depiction of a plants and animals is still not the purpose of my work - it is just the language I use to tell the story. The animals represent me, or you the viewer, surrounded by a world of emotion. For this reason, I do not consider myself a "wildlife artist" or a "botanical artist". I suppose I am anthropomorphising the world, even though I don't dress my animals in cute clothing and give them cell phones and cars. I paint, not so much the world around me, as the world inside me.
I use nature as my language and she kindly provides me with plants and animals more fantastic than anything my imagination can conjure up. I also feel so humbled by the world around me that copying nature as accurately as I can has deep meaning for me. It now feels arrogant to try to invent anything to rival what nature has developed over the Milena. So I have reached a place where the plants and animals are as real as I can make them.
But how far should this go? In this painting I have invented a snowy landscape full of snowberries. This part is scientifically possible. Snowberries, snowshoe hares and snow can all be found together in nature. But now I find I want to introduce some color to this painting and have been tempted to paint one of those beautiful Yuletide camellias with the deep red flowers which would turn my nice sciencey landscape into something imaginary. Should I honour nature by assembling only the elements that she herself has orchestrated? Or should I clumsily throw in all sorts of plants that showshoe hares would never encounter in the wild? Would this be sloppy? Arrogant? I want to be sensitive to my environment. It feels right to honour the natural world and, as I write this, I feel myself leaning toward science and away from fantasy. Surely I can still tell the stories I want without messing around with the natural world.
I welcome any opinions on this "nature" vs "nurture" question. Really it is "reality" vs "fantasy". Robert Bateman vs Mark Ryden. Ouch my brain. Is it ok if I still indulge in a few flying weasels when the need arises?

I am thinking about Haiti of course. The sunrise yesterday lifted my spirits a little. I took this one facing east.
And this one facing west. I have never seen the water so pink. The beauty was breathtaking but also vaguely unsettling.

After the Storm
I love the drama of stormy weather. My cosy studio or my cosy coat and boots keep me safe from any real danger and discomfort. I suppose that is the difference between something thrilling and something truly frightening. I feel the same way about my emotional life. Usually I stay safe and cosy but sometimes I venture out into the big, beautiful, thrilling world to find adventures that make my heart beat faster.
This painting shows the snowberries that decorate Seattle in the darkness of winter and the beauty berries (calliparpa) that I love so much this time of year. It is oil on panel and measures 11'x14".

Snowshoe Hare
I have painted snowshoe hares before but always in their winter white coats. This one is still wearing her brown summer fur and is looking at the snowberries as if wondering when she should change her own color.
I love these fluffy characterful animals and find them even more interesting now that I am aware of how much they are affected by climate change. I recently read an article that described how some hares are changing their fur color to white in the winter even though their habitat doesn't become snowy any more. This leaves them uncamouflaged and even more vulnerable to predation. Sorry to describe something so sad here on the blog.
A funny story about this little painting might cheer us up. When it was freshly wet I brought it down to the house to prop it on the fireplace mantel to dry over night. As I was doing this is slipped out of my hand and landed face down on the hearth rug, where the cats sleep. When I picked it up it was so covered with cat fur that I spent half an hour with a scalple picking the hairs off my hare. Yes I know I should vacuum more often but there are so many paintings that I want to make and I hate vacuuming, don't you?
This little study is oil on canvas and measures 8"x10". If you visit the article about climate change here you can see the photograph that inspired this painting.

On Thursday, Congress heard testimony regarding a bill that promotes natural gas development.
Clean Energy Fuels CEO Andrew Littlefair was one of several people to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee on behalf of the bill. After addressing the committee, Littlefair appeared on "Mad Money" and told Cramer he "feels good" about federal approval of the bill.
The New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions of 2011 is best known as the NatGas bill, or H.R. 1380. It amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow credits to promote investment in natural gas and in producing nat gas-powered vehicles, among other incentives. It would cost $5 billion over five years. Sullivan said not only would it help lessen U.S. dependence on foreign oil, it would create jobs, too.
Rep. John Sullivan, R-Okla., along with Reps. Dan Boren, D-Okla., John Larson, D-Conn. and Kevin Brady, R-Texas introduced the bill in April. It had 76 original co-sponsors. To appease the fiscally-conservative members, Sullivan stripped the bill of any federal mandates and subsidies. In an earlier interview with Cramer, Sullivan said he also reduced the authorization of the tax credit from 17 years to 5 years.

Motorcross Dan Preparing For Holland
Anglian Home Improvements young talent, Daniel Brooks has been riding hard through the Summer motorcross season, but it has sadly come to a close, although his racing hasn't just yet. Here is a catch up from Daniel's dad, Matt.
We have been a little quiet lately with the end of the summer season. Dan finished 7th in his club summer championship, and we are very pleased with that result in his first year in the junior category. We have done a couple of local low key meetings with various clubs, the last outing being a couple of weeks ago when Dan got a great 4th overall. We have been out every weekend practicing when not racing and this will be the case all through the winter months.
We have entered the Dutch National Indoor Supercross Championships being held on the 25, 26 and 27th of November in Hardenberg, and 9, 10 and 11th of December in Venray. This will be a very big step up for Dan against some of Europe's top riders. It will also be very exciting being in big indoor arenas in front of big crowds, riding with some of the worlds top adult riders during the main events held each evening. During the day the lads get to practise with the Pro riders giving them some tuition, so hopefully this will help bring Dan on a little further as I believe its all about confidence.
Let's hope Dan can get a good result in Holland during the winter months!

Ugly holiday sweaters aren't just for parties. You can proudly wear yours in the air thanks to Alaska Airlines, which is offering early boarding for one day to those who partake.
That's because December 15 is National Ugly Holiday Sweater Day. So if you're taking an Alaska, Virgin America, or Horizon Air flight that day, you'll be rewarded for your holly jolly attire, reported Travel + Leisure.
Holiday travel is notoriously frustrating, so anything that lightens the mood is appreciated. "Travel during the holidays can be stressful for guests, especially those who do not travel often," Natalie Bowman, managing director of marketing and advertising at Alaska Airlines, said in a statement. "This fun promotion not only allows guests to board early on that day, but gives people another opportunity to dust off that ugly holiday sweater hanging in the back of their closet."
As if that weren't enough to get you into the holiday spirit, the airlines are also playing holiday music during boarding throughout December — which is either delightful or annoying, depending where you stand on the issue.
Since you'll undoubtedly have downtime at the airport, you can also take pics and hashtag them #UglySweaterDay and #MostWestCoast. May we humbly propose making all of December Ugly Holiday Sweater Month?! Because we have so many options to wear...
The holidays just got sweeter! On December 15th ugly holiday sweaters will get priority boarding. https://t.co/eYXM0RPEz2 #UglySweaterDay #MostWestCoast pic.twitter.com/HjQNQPXcKF— Alaska Airlines (@AlaskaAir) December 6, 2017

Hey y'alls!
We continue our journey through Stardoll tribute season with a new addition to Starplaza, Balmain!
Quite different from the previous tribute, (check out my review of it here!) which was full to the brim of super versatile items, this tribute features more statement pieces, making it less wearable in general.
The prices, as usual are a little on the pricey side but definitely nowhere near LE prices and a little more expensive than the last one.
I'm glad Stardoll aren't just going for Chanel and Dior again, even if most of this isn't really up my street.
Graphics-wise, the items are really well made and there's plenty of bright pieces for colour lovers.
Again, more strappy heels but these are slightly different from the plain ol' minimalist ones we seem to keep getting.
My favourite things in the store have got to be some of the tops, naturally they're more wearable than the dresses and also the bags are great too.
I haven't bought a huge amount yet and I don't think I'll buy as much from it as I did the Melbourne Minimalism tribute, simply because I know I won't wear half of what I would buy.
I'd give this tribute a 6.5/10, I love some of the pieces but it nothing has jumped out at me as they did with the previous tributes
What did you think? Tell me down below and show me how you styled this tribute!

Weight-Loss Camps in Oregon
With obesity on the rise, more and more people are looking for an effective solution for growing waistlines. If you have tried diets and workouts on your own and you are still plagued by unwanted pounds, an intense weight-loss program or camp might be for you. In the state of Oregon, several options may help you jump-start your weight-loss journey.
Types of Programs
Weight-loss camps vary by length, intensity, program design and amount of supervision. Boot camp programs are generally short, either residential or nonresidential, and focus on improving physical fitness and pushing you to your limits. Long-term residential camps focus on nutrition, fitness education and behavior changes. Results may not come as quickly with these types of programs, but they are more likely to help you make changes for a lifetime. If you want to feel pampered while you improve your health, consider a spa weight-loss retreat, which encourages exercise and healthy eating while providing massages, facials and wrap treatments.
Choosing a Program
Weight-loss camps can be pricey, so carefully consider the options before committing to a program. First, evaluate your reasons for attending a weight-loss camp. If you have attempted multiple weight-loss programs in the past with minimal results, you may want to choose a program that provides structure and accountability. If you are fairly self-motivated and just looking for a boost on your health and fitness journey, a boot camp program may provide you with adequate results. Regardless of the type of camp you decide to go with, look for a camp focused on education and lifestyle changes to help you sustain your results for the long term.
Boot Camp Programs
Residential weight-loss camps are hard to come by in Oregon, but a few boot camp programs will push you to achieve your health and fitness goals. Portland's Waterfront Fitness Boot Camp offers a four-week and an eight-week boot camp program that includes high-intensity fitness classes designed for maximum fat loss and dramatic results. Bend Adventure Boot Camp, in central Oregon, also offers group fitness classes and nutrition instruction to help you meet your goals and get you in shape quickly.
Weight-Loss Spas and Medical Weight Loss
Renew Healthcare is a spa in Salem, Oregon, that offers medically supervised weight loss. The program includes supplements, appetite suppressants, and nutrition and exercise counseling. In the Portland area, Health Plus sets you up with a personalized exercise plan and healthy eating plan while providing weight-loss medications to boost results. If you are willing to travel, Lifestyle Fitness in Utah, Green Mountain in Vermont, Structure House in North Carolina and The Biggest Loser resorts around the country are weight-loss camps that have produced significant results.

Other way around...
If I was NetApp, I'd be keen to see this come to court before all my patents were invalidated due to prior art.
If I was Sun, I'd want to string things out for a while, to give the Patent Office time to invalidate the remaining patents, thus making the lawsuit void.
Classic FUD, presenting his position backwards.
