Hello my lovely friends,
I have been seeing quite a few patients in my clinic recently who were asking me about the buzz words, "Inner Beauty" and "Inner Engineering". I thought that probably more of you are interested in this, so what is this concept of "Inner Beauty everyone's talking about? Is it a kind of beauty secret or mere imagination?
Inner beauty in literature is described as a person's own characteristics, attributes & social behaviours that can be assessed through someone's perception, body language and behaviours rather than the external appearance.
In simple words, Inner Beauty can be classically described as something that is conveyed through a person's character rather than appearance, outfit, or other external factors. Some people perceive Inner Beauty as one of the finest qualities in a human being but sadly that view is quite rarely found these days. People ask me if and how they can cultivate Inner Beauty or whether it is something that we are born with? To me, the first and foremost principle of Inner Beauty is being open-minded and receptive to other people's opinions and social behaviours. We only tend to think that what we do is correct and logically acceptable but what others do, think, or feel is not correct. Inner beauty in its core means acceptance. So, we can learn these core values. Of course, there is no regime for Inner Beauty but why not try to implement some of the below in your life and see how you and others perceive your new self.
- Be optimistic and wake up with a smile - seems a small task but believe me it can make a big difference to your mood for the whole day
- Help others (it will make you happy.)
- Manage your stress by focussing on the task in hand, do not reciprocate instantly but think twice before acting
- Put positive thinking into practice
- Love yourself, accept yourself the way you are…You are a beautiful creation and this is a fact you need to remind yourself of every day
- Appreciate nature when time allows, take in the smell of freshly mown grass or feel the summer sun on your face. It will enable you to see the good in life.
Wishing you all a happy and beautiful summer,

The Pemberton Red Devils senior girls' volleyball team fell just short of a chance to play in the B.C. High School Provincial 'A' Championships despite a strong showing at the zone playdowns last week.
The Devils placed fifth out of nine teams entered in the Lower Mainland zone championship tournament, winning two of four matches played in the Nov. 13 draw. The top two teams advanced to provincials and the third-place finisher qualified for a wildcard tournament.
Pemberton finished second at 1-1 in pool during round-robin play, falling 25-19, 25-12 to West Point Grey Academy before rebounding to sweep two sets from St. John's School (25-19, 25-22).
The Devils then knocked off King David High School (25-12, 25-16) to advance to a quarterfinal against Mulgrave School, but saw their season end there in a two-set loss (25-21, 25-16).
Head coach David Dunkin said he thought his team produced a good effort at the event while playing four matches in quick succession.
"I think they played their best volleyball of the year, which is a nice way to leave it," said Dunkin. "We didn't beat ourselves, certainly.
"The games we were supposed to win, we won, and we had a shot in the games that were a little more challenging but just couldn't seem to pull it out."
Members of this year's team included Lyra Tuck, Hannah Van Spronsen, Lauren Phare, Emma Eslake, Pala Kovacs, Madison Graves, Bailey Raimondo, Desirae Townley, Kelley Ouellet, Ashley LeBlanc, Anne Linklater and Clea Liakakos.
Saints to play for championship
The Whistler Saints are headed to the North Shore Football League's flag division championship game after a tense semifinal victory on Sunday, Nov. 17 in North Vancouver.
The Saints trailed the Packers 12-8 in the second half of the playoff contest, but quarterback Liam Forsyth found the end zone late on a 20-yard run from scrimmage to give Whistler a 14-12 win.
Earlier in the game, Benyon McKeen scored a touchdown on a 40-yard run and Logan Anderson connected on the ensuing two-point attempt.
The Saints, who hold top seed in the division after an 8-1 regular season, meet the No. 3-ranked Raiders in the Nov. 24 final at Norgate Park. The two teams split the season series, with Whistler taking a 26-12 win during Week 1 and the Raiders winning 16-0 on Oct. 14.
Ice Wizards facing The Fox team for charity
The Ice Wizards of the Whistler Men's 'A' Hockey League will be facing off against The Fox radio station's squad next weekend in support of a couple of great causes, with limited tickets on sale now.
The Fox team spends the winter travelling around the Lower Mainland playing senior men's teams to help raise money for the B.C. Children's Hospital, and the Ice Wizards will be their host on Nov. 30 at Meadow Park Sports Centre. The Whistler team will also be supporting the Movember initiative through proceeds from the game.
On top of what's sure to be an interesting match-up on the ice, there will be lots of other activity for spectators, including a Granville Island Brewing beer garden, 50/50 draw, chuck-a-puck contest and prizes and giveaways throughout the game. Puck drop will be at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Riverside Café and other locations, as well as from any members of the Ice Wizards. Players will be set up in front of Nesters between 2 and 6 p.m. on Nov. 23 and 24 if tickets are still available. Kids under 12 get in with the donation of two non-perishable food items.
Moe Joe's has already donated $1,000 towards the game's causes and will also be hosting an after-party following the contest. Any individuals or businesses interested in making a separate contribution may contact Ian Pike at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

For awhile now I've been sitting on a new product that I've been dying to share with you and now I'm so excited that I finally can!
Starting today Stampin' Up will be releasing the first in their brand new line of markers called Blendabilities! The Blendabilites markers are alcohol based markers , they are acid free, have a square barrel so they don't roll off your table, have dual tips (a fine tip bullet and a brush tip) and they come in some really yummy colors! Each color set contains three markers, a light, medium and dark shade of the same color and this makes for really easy and simple blending and gradation of color. The first 6 colors available today are Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Coasta Cabana and Rich Razzleberry. When the new Stampin Up catalog comes out on June 1st 6 more marker color sets will also be available. Each color set of 3 markers will retail for $11.95 and there is also a Color Lifter marker for $4.95. The Color Lifter is sort of like a clear version of the markers that removes color, it's great for making fun designs and patterns on already colored areas and I found it helps with "erasing" small mistakes too.
All my card samples were made with Stampin' Up stamps and were colored using the Blendabilities markers. I love the double tip, the bullet is perfect for coloring into small areas and the brush tip makes it quick to color in larger areas. Having 3 shades of the same color made it so easy to get a look of shading and dimension and the colors all layer and blend together so well.
Contact your Stampin' Up rep today to try out the first sets of these great new markers (find a rep here if you don't have one) or order directly on-line from Stampin' Up. And be sure to check out the new Stampin' Up catalog on June 1st for more colors and information on the Blendabilities markers.

Urgency Day 1
500 Things Item 499: My Old Cork Bulletin Board
- History: Purchased for my first dorm room
- Value: The original changing picture frame, and no batteries req.
- Parting pain: None
- Un–possessing: Donated to Sam's first dorm room
Picture a Venn Diagram: 2 College Packing Lists.
Mine, c. 1980:
- Iron and ironing board
- Albums and stereo
- Black and white TV
- Coordinating-roommate linens
- Popcorn popper
- Quarters for laundry
- Leotards, tights, ballet slippers
His, August 23, 2011:
- Laptop computer
- iPod and cell phone
- Hard drive from his Xbox
- Uncoordinated linens
- Energy bars
- A loaded V-card for all campus purchases
- 3 guitars and an amp
And the teeny tiny overlap in the middle?
- My old cork bulletin board.
Dry erase boards are fine for jotting smudgy notes, and cell phones simplify… well… everything. But you still want a place to hang some tangible mementos— tickets from a concert, a card from home, a scrap of paper on which you and your friends scribbled the most mind-blowing, reality-crushing, paradigm-shifting idea ever. If only you could decipher the handwriting.
An old-school cork bulletin board is a place where those bits of flotsam and jetsam can effortlessly accumulate. By May, it will form a time capsule of a year in a life. It's the very same surface on which my new life accumulated 30 years ago, but his will certainly hold fewer pictures of Mikhail Baryshnikov and more… who? More what?
I could guess Muse and Foos and Green Day. I could guess Zelda and Pullman and Vonnegut. Sure, maybe, for awhile. But this is his past. Starting tomorrow, he will be creating a new past.
I know I said I wouldn't count things Sam takes to college as part of my 500 Things Project. I also said I would never say, "Because I said so," or "Turn that music down!" or "You'll thank me later." Motherhood changes everything. Every. Thing.
There is no other thing of mine that will reside in his new home.
Nothing, and everything.

I can't believe you still have a cork board from your dorm room! Maybe Sam can hold on to it and pass it on to his kids!
I also can't believe this is urgency day one!!! What next? Please be quick to start your new project so we don't all go into Suzanne withdrawal…

Saratoga Soapstone
When you consider that a traditional use of soapstone was laboratory table tops in chemistry labs due to its resistance to chemicals you rest assured that it can take just about anything you can throw at it in the bath vanity environment. While not known for its high abrasion resistance like granite or marble, Saratoga Soapstone is known for its high resistance to moisture making it a great choice for bath vanity countertops. In fact, its softness allows it to actually be sanded by wood working abrasion techniques should it require repairing from accidental damage. Soapstone can also be waxed, or oiled to give some colors of soapstone a more dramatic appearance. Let your imagination run free when choosing one of Hoffman Kitchen & Bath's exclusive Saratoga Soapstone® colors. Saratoga Soapstone® is sold exclusively in Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas by Hoffman's Kitchen & Bath.
Please make sure you add a visit to one of our beautiful Hoffman Kitchen & Bath Showroom's located in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, or Northwest Arkansas where any of our trained sales associates will be happy to assist you.

Hello, hello! I'm currently on a "writing break" as I refill the well and prep for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), which starts on November 1st. I'm reading (on my 2nd Jill Shalvis book in a week!!), playing, planning and teaching an online class. Here's what's up:
I received a rejection from Harequin for a full-length suspense story. It's the one I did a revise and resubmit on. One editor requested it and then she was transfered to a different department. The 2nd editor was very nice in her rejection, telling me what she liked and what needed work, and she offered to read something else. So I immediately decided to submit another manuscript that I love.
Because I love the rejected manuscript and still believe in the story, I'm going to review it and submit it to other epublishers. (I can't send it to my epub, because it's longer than the books they publish.)
My NaNoWriMo book is itching to get out! I can't wait! I've been jotting down notes for it and today I heard the theme song on the radio. (It's "Without You" by David Guetta with Usher.) Remember what it's about? Stripped- Tessa has 2 men in her life. One doesn't know she's alive, one wants her dead and by the end of the week she'll leave them both speechless.
I've decided not to write the historical romance short story I was working on. There were many reasons, but it boils down to the reader in me would love the story in my head, but the writer in me can't get the right story on paper. I tried for 2 months and I was still only halfway through the rough draft.
In place of the historical short story, I've started jotting down notes for a new contemporary romance short story, which will be set in my fictional happy place, Glenhalish (the setting of Her Highland Champion), and will "star" a heroine my senior editor mentioned not too long ago.
I'm teaching my favorite online class, Killer Openings, this month and loving it. I'm also gearing up for my next online class, Candid Confessions of a Newbie Author, in which I discuss in detail what happens after the book contract is signed. I'm giving details about the ups and downs, doubts and successes of my first year as a published author. That class will be taught in November.
I've been working a bit more, which is great, but I'm also going to step up my search AGAIN for a full-time job.
2 weeks tomorrow Fractured Paradise comes out!!!! Yay! I'm planning to celebrate on a few different blogs, as well as my own. A friend recently went to London, so I asked her to pick up some goodies I can use for contest prizes, as well as free books!
Okay, back to work!

ISLAMABAD: The entire nation along with the armed forces of the country will celebrate Defence Day today with a solemnized pledge to continue defence of the geographical, ideological boundaries and territorial integrity of the motherland.
The day will dawn with a gun salute, 31 in federal and 21 in the provincial capitals. Special prayers in all mosques, especially of those in defence formations will be held seeking well being and prosperity of the country.
Fateha and Quran Khawani will be held for those who laid their lives in the line to serve the nation, opting to embrace supreme sacrifice.
Wreath laying ceremonies will be held at the mausoleums of the recipients of Nishan-e-Haider (highest gallantry award) which will be attended by the senior officers of the respective areas across the country.
Special events will be held at the defence formations where defence equipments will be displayed for the information and knowledge of the entire folk with special regard to the youth.
Main function to highlight the significance of the day will be held at the lawns of General Headquarters, where Chief of Army Staff Gen Raheel Sharif will address the guests inclusive of next of kin of Shuhuda besides Ghazis. People from all walks of life have been invited at that function.
It was on this day in 1965 that the Indian forces crossed international border in the darkness of night to attack Pakistan but ever-vigilant armed forces, solidly backed by the nation, foiled nefarious designs of the enemy.
Meanwhile, the national media, both print and electronic have chalked out comprehensive coverage plans of the events to be held in this connection besides publishing special supplements by the print media while the electronic media will telecast and broadcast special programmes signifying the importance of the day.
Special talk shows have been planned by the state run and privately owned television and radio channels across the country.
About half a century ago, during 1965 war, the adversary had announced to have breakfast at Lahore Gymkhana after capturing the historic city but the valiant armed forces of the country had made her to keep repenting her decision for rest of her life.
Pakistan Army, Navy and Air Force had inflicted deep wounds in shape of Halwara, Dwarka, Kasur and Chamb Joriyan incidents and the adversary never would refer to the history of these incidents which literally made her to lick wounds.
On the other hand, Inter-Services Public Relations has arranged a full-dressed rehearsal at Lahore's Fortress Stadium.
In a statement, the citizens were informed about the gun salute in the metropolis nearly at 10 am to 10:30 am so that they would not get afraid.
Separately in Peshawar, preparations are underway to arrange exhibition of army equipments for air defence, armour and artillery Corps, engineering instruments and many others. Al-Khalid and Al-Zarrar tanks, Ababeel and Shahbaz Drones, arms and radar system used by armed forces would also be displayed in the exhibition. Staff Reporter

Our Caribbean luxury villa rental is located right on the beachfront in the exclusive Orchid Bay Estates, a private, American-owned, secure, gated community.
Our Dominican Republic vacation rental Villa sits along a rock cliff about 20 feet above one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, which is where you'll probably spend most of your time. Looking at the beach, just a few steps down from the cliff, is one of my favorite spots to hang out, sip coffee, and think about co-workers slaving away back home.
A stunning collection of charming Bali-style structures make up the intriguing architecture and design of this Caribbean Luxury Villa rental destination. The Villa is comprised of a Main House featuring a master suite, plus four adjacent habitations (separate buildings) containing seven additional bedrooms, all with air conditioning and all en-suite.

There are plenty of chairs and loungers for soaking up the mid-day sun, enjoying an evening drink or catching a siesta just about anytime. If there's anything you'd like to eat or drink, just mention it to one of our dedicated and highly trained staff, and they'll bring it right to your chair. Everything at the vacation rental of Sunrise Villa is here to make this your own unforgettable Caribbean getaway.
Go for a snorkel. Have a picnic. Enjoy Caribbean deep sea fishing or some excellent, Dominican Republic golf. Play a friendly game of volleyball, or just mellow out and lay back in the sun. When you're ready for another drink, ask one of the staff what they suggest and they'll cheerfully bring you an ice cold Presidente. It's an island speciality and trust us on this, you may never drink Bud again!
The Villa was Designed by Sarah Garcia, the same architect responsible for the World-Famous Casa Colonial Hotel.

With thanks to Alok Jha science correspondent at The Guardian 9.4.2012:
Wellcome backs campaign to break stranglehold of academic journals and allow all research papers to be shared free online
Wellcome's move adds weight to the campaign for open access to academic knowledge, which could lead to benefits across a broad range of research fields. One of the world's largest funders of science is to throw its weight behind a growing campaign to break the stranglehold of academic journals and allow all research papers to be shared online.
Nearly 9,000 researchers have already signed up to a boycott of journals that restrict free sharing as part of a campaign dubbed the "academic spring" by supporters due to its potential for revolutionising the spread of knowledge.
But the intervention of the Wellcome Trust, the largest non-governmental funder of medical research after the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is likely to galvanise the movement by forcing academics it funds to publish in open online journals.
Sir Mark Walport, the director of Wellcome Trust, said that his organisation is in the final stages of launching a high calibre scientific journal called eLife that would compete directly with top-tier publications such as Nature and Science, seen by scientists as the premier locations for publishing. Unlike traditional journals, however, which cost British universities hundreds of millions of pounds a year to access, articles in eLife will be free to view on the web as soon as they are published.
He also said that the Wellcome Trust, which spends more than £600m on scientific research a year, would soon adopt a more robust approach with the scientists it funds, to ensure that results are freely available to the public within six months of first publication. Researchers who do not make their work open access in line with the Trust's policy could be sanctioned in future grant applications to the charity.
Walport, who is a fellow of the Royal Society, Britain's premier scientific academy, said the results of public and charity-funded scientific research should be freely available to anyone who wants to read it, for whatever purpose they need it. His comments echo growing concerns from scientists who baulk at the rising costs of academic journals, particularly in a time of shrinking university budgets.
The majority of the world's scientific research, estimated at around 1.5m new articles each year, is published in journals owned by a small number of large publishing companies including Elsevier, Springer and Wiley. Scientists submit manuscripts to the journals, which are sent out for peer review before publication. The work is then available to other researchers by subscription, usually through their libraries. Publishers of the academic journals, which can cost universities up to €20,000 (£16,500) a year each to access, argue the price is necessary to sustain a high-quality peer review process.
A spokesperson for Elsevier said the company was open to any "mechanism or business model, as long as they are sustainable and maintain or improve existing levels of quality control". He added that the company had been working on open access initiatives with funding bodies. "There has been a constructive collaboration as we've worked with the Wellcome Trust to build support and participation among authors … At the same time, we will also remain committed to the subscription model. We want to be able to offer our customers choice, and we see that, in addition to new models the subscription model remains very much in demand."
But the government has also signalled its support for open access. At the launch of the government's innovation strategy in December, David Willetts, minister for universities and science, said he aspired to have all government-funded research published in the public domain. "We want to move to open access, but in a way that ensures that peer review and publishing continues as a function. It needs to be paid for somehow."
Science funders say this is not the problem. "I think publishing is a cost of research in the same way as buying a centrifuge is a cost of research," said Walport. "We have to maximise the public benefit of the research that we publish and we only do that by distribution."
According to David Prosser, executive director of Research Libraries UK, British universities spend around £200m a year on subscriptions to electronic databases and journals, which is around 10% of the block grants the institutions receive from government. The exact prices paid by university libraries are covered by confidentiality clauses with publishers but Prosser said that many of Britain's big universities "are spending, with some of our largest publishers, more than £1m a year each".
The rising costs of journal subscriptions have led many scientists around the world to question the business models of the publishers, which can make profit margins of more than 35% through selling access to the results of publicly-funded research. Proponents for open access in science argue that research papers should be freely available to anyone who wants to read them, with the publication costs borne by the authors of the work, perhaps as part of the research grant that pays for their work.
"If you look at the way the web works and what makes effective information dissemination on the web, then it's clear that open content spreads further, has more influence, is used in more ways than the people who wrote it could ever expect," said Cameron Neylon, a biophysicist who will take up a position as director of advocacy at Public Library of Science, an open access publisher, in July. "From the perspective of research funders, particularly public research funders, the attitude has to be 'we fund this research, it generates these particular outputs, some of them are journal publications, how do we ensure that we maximise the impact that those outputs have?'"
The Wellcome Trust makes money available to its grant holders so that they can pay publishers to make their work freely available. The problem, said Walport, is that only 55% of Wellcome-funded researchers comply. Scientists often do not take up the open-access option or end up publishing in journals that refuse to make the work open access. To force more scientists into submitting their work into open-access journals, Walport said the Wellcome Trust was considering sanctions for researchers and universities if Wellcome-funded research is not made freely available. One option under examination is to make grant renewals contingent on open access compliance, so that new money would be released only once a scientist's previous Trust-supported work is fully accessible. Another proposal is to require universities to confirm that papers produced with a Wellcome grant are accessible before the final instalment of that grant is paid. "If a journal won't comply with our grant conditions, then we're effectively saying you can't publish in that journal," he said, although the Trust does not support the boycott of paid-access journals. Even the six-month stipulation keeps original research out of the public domain for too long, added Walport. "Frankly, it's a bit like saying you can have the Guardian free after three weeks – the news section has little value at that stage. I would say that even six months is ultimately too long for research."
Another issue for many scientists is that publishing houses get the services of scientists, for the purposes of peer review, for free. "One of the biggest costs in the whole scientific publishing world is borne by the academic community, which is the peer review," said Walport. "The journals have benefitted from having free, potentially very expensive consultancy. Again, why do we do that, if the end product is going to be locked behind a paywall?"
Walport said there was a trend for conservatism in the scientific community because scientists want to get published in the most prestigious journal brands such as Nature, Science or Cell. Until relatively recently, there were not many alternatives for researchers who wanted to make a big impact with their work – but the commercial success of open-access journals published by the PLoS group, has proved that open access can make money. "PLoS ONE is now the largest scientific journal in the world and this is ramping up," said Walport.
To address the lack of competition, the Wellcome Trust has teamed up with the Max Planck Society in Germany and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in the US to set up a new open-access journal called eLife. "The idea is that that will take on the very top end of the scientific publishing industry, a visible high-profile competitor to Nature and Science," said Walport. "In no sense is this a war in which we're trying to put them out of business, the thing that would be best for them [publishers] to do is to change their publishing model."
Willetts has appointed Dame Janet Finch, a former vice-chancellor of Keele University, to sit down with academics and publishers to work out how an open-access scheme for publicly-funded research might function in the UK. Research Councils UK, the co-ordinating body for the distribution of more than £3bn of government money via the science research councils, has issued a consultation on open access. The main recommendation is in line with the Wellcome Trust's policy, that the final version of research papers produced as a result of public money must be made open access online within six months of initial publication.

PLoS Med 2(8): e124. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124 '… There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias.

That didn't stop a staffer of the company, PPS Clinical Research STL, from claiming that six months later the patient came in for an exam, was diagnosed with medical conditions, had undergone tests and even had given a urine sample. That admission was made in the company's guilty plea to a federal felony charge of obstructing a proceeding of a federal agency. The drug the company helped test, aimed at women who suffered from an unexplained lack of sexual desire, never made it to market. As part of the plea, PPS admitted that it "corruptly influenced, obstructed, and impeded" an inspection by the Food and Drug Administration by providing false patient records in May 2010. During the trials, the drug's manufacturer faulted PPS for failing to have a trained investigator conduct some exams, for back dating records and for failing to properly oversee one patient's selection for the study, according to prosecutors.

Beginning of Odin Tours:
In the middle of September 2009 we, Maria Christie Palsdottir and Magni Arnason, arrived to inspect Höskuldsstadir. We had dreamt for a long time to purchase a farm and develop tourism. It was a bright and sunny day when we drove across the Breiddalsheidi. From there we were met by a glorious sight; the Breiddalur. When we arrived I had to ask Magni, my husband, to wait for a while because I wept so much from joy having at long last found the place, the HOME. I, the Gypsy, had at long last arrived. We moved to Höskuldsstadir on June 1st 2010. This is my first and only real estate purchase and here we intend to spend our lives in producing joy and happiness for our visitors. We intend to breed docile and easy going horses for pony treks and free settlement hens to be able to offer environmentally friendly eggs. Furthermore we intend to breed up to ten ewes and two rams to have the excellent lamb on our table.
The History of Höskuldsstaðir:
In Breiddaela (The History of Breiddalur 1948) the following is written on the settlement of Höskuldsstaðir: In the infield of Höskuldsstadir, just above the tracks in front of the farm there is an oblong mound in the middle of a small plain called the Mound of Höskuldur. It is supposed to be the burial mound for Höskuldur who built the farmhouse. According to the folklore some farmhands began to dig into the mound to investigate what might be there. As they were digging and looked towards to farmhouse it seemed to be on fire. Immediately they threw away their tools and ran to the farmhouse. But then no fire could be found. Since then the mound has not been touched.
Höskuldsstadir is an old farm and is first mentioned in a letter of purchase from 1457. In this letter is information of the boundaries and easements of the farm but some of it is rather unclear. (The country side and farms of the Mula-district. 1976, page: 332).
It seems likely that Höskuldsstadasel was originally a croft from the main farm of Höskuldsstadir around 1690. Both farms were considered to be good farmsteads and their boundaries extended across the valley.(The Annual Report of the Iceland Touring Association, 2002, page191).
At Höskuldsstadir there lived from 1866 to 1887 the MP and the district administrative officer Einar Gislason. During his tenure or in 1874 a sub-post office opened up there and was operated until 1947. One of the main routes of the postmen of Eastern Iceland was from Höskuldsstadir to Berufjord, via the mountain pass of the same name. This post route was from Möðruvellir in Eyjafjord to Eskifjord and then south to Holar in Austur-Skaftafellssýsla. The last post trip along this route took place on June 17th 1931. A telephone exchange was at Höskuldsstadir from 1934 to 1942. (The country side and farms of the Mula-district, 1976, pages 332-333). It was operated by the couple Einar Gunnlaugsson and Margret Jónsdóttir.
The abandoned farm Arnastadir belongs to Höskuldsstadir, approxamately one kilometre upwards from the farm, below Toartindar, above Innri-Kroarmelar, adjacent to the ravine of the farm brook. There is the so-called Holamyri and the ruins of the farms are in its lower half. There lived a hermit, named Arni, in the latter half of the 18th century. The ruins are visible and those of the sheepcote are quite distinct. It seems likely that a sheepcote was there after Arni's demise. Below Toartindar the land looks prosperous but the common traveller does not see it since one must hike to Kroarmelar. But the walk is worthwhile since the vista is beautiful. (The New History of Breiddalur, volume I, p 78-79)
In the book Landslides and Avalanches there is a mention of an avalanche that hit Höskuldsstadir on February 16th 1894. At the time there were two households on the farm. Most of the avalanche hit the house of Einar, the father of Professor Stefan, but the house was closer to the brook that carried the avalanche. In the other household there lived the farmer Hoseas Björnsson from 1886 to1903. Some slush got into the cow shed and extended to the paunch of the bulls. The avalanche started in the so-called Holamyri in the mountain above the present route 1 and below the To. The swamp is quite large and slopes towards a narrow ravine. The brook flows few yards from the farmhouse. No loss of live occurred but a calf perished when the cow shed filled up with snow and water.
The charity society Eining (Unity) was founded on November 4th 1911. Margret was a founder member and the first chairperson. The purpose of the society was to support those suffering from tuberculosis and had to stay at the health clinic at Vifilstadir. The society held one gathering each summer, mostly in the latter half of June. (Breiðdæla 1948 page 160).
The first gathering of Eining took place in 1912 at Asunnarstadir on a flat spot below the infield. There a stage was constructed and a large tent for refreshments. On that occasion the play "Vorgyðjan" (The Goddess of Spring) by Margret was premiered. The characters in the play were the Goddess of Spring, the Hope, the Joy and the Sorrow. The play was considered to be good. (Breiðdæla, 1948 page 162).
In 1914 the gathering took place at Höskuldsstadir and then the play "Brandur" by Geir Vídalín was performed in the large barn in the farmyard. (Breiðdæla 1948 page 162). Margret was literate and interested in poetry, good-humoured despite her bad health; she suffered from tuberculosis. She wrote two plays that were performed in the district. Unfortunately they got lost in the passing of time.
On February 18th 1898 a tragic event occurred in a violent storm that Björn, the son of Einar (and Margret) die of exposure on the infield 17 years of age. It was considered that a door to the sheep shed had been ripped off, hit him and injured him.
In the infield of Höskuldsstadir there is a burial plot, prepared in 1908 by the couple Einar and Margret (Breiðdæla 1948 page 206). They are both buried there with their daughter Adalheidur, who died of tuberculosis at the tender age of 16. There also rests their son Stefan who died in Reykjavik in 1972, as well as Margret, his first wife.
The pioneer from Höskuldsstadir
Stefan Einarsson (1897-1972) from Höskuldsstadir is fondly remembered by the inhabitants of Breiddalur although his life work was performed very far from the home of his youth. At the Breiddalur Institute in Breiddalsvik there is one room dedicated to the PhD. Stefan Einarsson. On display there are various items as well as a survey of this professional life.
His Doctoral Thesis was written at Höskuldsstadir in German for the University of Oslo in 1927. Its subject was on phonetics in Icelandic and is called Beiträge zur Phonetik der Isländischen Sprache in German. His professional life was spent at the Faculty of English at the John Hopkins University of Baltimore where literature was preferred to linguistics.
In the early part of the 20th Century traditional farming was practised at Höskuldsstadir. In 1986, when the farm had been abandoned for just over two years, the couple Marietta Maisen from Switzerland and Peter Behrens from Germany bought the farm and started horse breeding. Both are qualified artists and well known in their field. Behrens's paintings of horse are exquisite. They practised their art for 24 years at Höskuldsstadir as well as the breaking-in of horses and translations of various books, mostly connected to horses and horsemanship.

Now that you have selected the residence that you want to acquire from the variety of Carlsbad properties for sale, it is now time for you to make negotiations with the seller and present him/her an offer you to purchase the property. This contract is contingent upon the seller procuring an offer you to buy contract for an additional piece of house by 'clock on the day of , 200 If the seller can't locate an additional desirable property, acquire a buy contract on such property and deliver notice to the buyer inside this time frame, this contract will grow to be null and void.
Simply because of the several requirements for a actual estate transaction and the require for information by the purchaser to ensure that the buy price is equal to the value becoming received, a obtain of property is completed soon after the purchaser has a likelihood to inspect the property, inspect the books and records if it is earnings-making property, arrange financing, and to confirm any encumbrances on the property, such as easements.
By way of the on the internet real estate contracts, one particular gets a way to avoid the common scenarios exactly where critical particulars are omitted in establishing the contract, only for these forgotten details to turn around to haunt the parties to the contract when a dispute arises out of it. Certainly, so fantastic is the comprehensiveness of the real estate contracts offered more than the Internet that numerous lawyers are actually acquiring them, and utilizing them as templates on which to build contracts for their clients.
The agreement must specify no matter whether the purchaser or seller will spend for each and every of the typical costs related with the house buy, such as escrow charges, title search fees, title insurance coverage, notary charges, recording costs, transfer tax and so on. Your actual estate agent can advise you as to no matter whether it is the buyer or seller who customarily pays every single of these fees in your area.
This contract typically contains the starting and ending dates of the agreement sort of home the buyer is interested in getting both the buyer's and broker's obligations retainer and compensation info variety of brokerage partnership (non-brokerage, transaction broker, or single agent) and the terms for early termination and dispute resolution of the contract.

23.20 -- 24:00: The staff trying to find the booking (Attached is the email confirmation of the call ticket Electronic Ticket Receipt Eticket number 2326569233241). . I had the print out with me confirming the same.
The staff also advised us that we cannot travel and that Malaysian airlines ground staff have already left and flights about to take off. We were grounded/embarrassed frustrated and angry for the mix up. I was travelling with a 59 and a 54 year old personnel who have never flown outside India let alone a plane before. The staff advised us to leave the third passenger and board the flight which shows no empathy and lack of awareness.

24.00 00:10: Called Malaysian airlines to cancel the booking for the two of the confirmed tickets so I could rebook the flights for the next day.
02:00 04:00: Call with Flight Centre emergency team who helped me to rebook that tickets and advised that there is a rebooking fees of 740$ Odd . When highlighted they the whole circumstance they said they will speak to Malaysia airlines staff and get back to me.
04:15: Call back from flight Centre saying there has been a mix up and they will incur the costs and rebooked all three flights for the next day (Email to be provided on request)
06:30: I had no sleep trying to get to the bottom of this and havent received the email to confirm the same. Called flight centre to confirm and then I finally receive the confirmed tickets..
At this stage I checked-in my parents flights and could not check-in my flight.
10:00: Call with Malaysian Airlines: Confirming why I wasnt able to check in. They advised that I had a special meal ordered so I wasnt able to check in and that the airport staff will be able to it if you arrive at the airport. When conveyed to cancel the meal and requested the personnel to check-in the call gets disconnected.
All this stage my phone turned off as the bills were exceeding 400$(Roaming ) in total.
Part 2
20:30 arrive Bengaluru international Airport, the army staff stopped us saying they could not find my name in the manifest.
20:40 I sent my parents in and spoke to speak to Air India Ground Staff who advised the same thing as before that they could not find my booking in manifest. I had the print out with me confirming the same (email provided on request). At this stage I was exhausted from the ordeal with lack of sleep and any kind of remorse from the airport staff to show any help in assisting us.
21:20 they found my booking
21:55: After an hour and a half wait they finally printed my boarding pass and let me in. At this stage my parents were traumatized with fear of flying alone to a country they have never been before. One of them is a heart patient suffering from multiple heart attacks prior. I had to console them and calm the situation down and tried to check in.
22:00: Another staff while in the queue grabbed the boarding pass from us saying this was not supposed to be with you.
22:05 22:20: Now the staff could not find my booking from KL to Sydney and it took us about 15 mins to check in.
22:25: Spoke to Malaysian Airlines staff Mr XXX and YYY who advised us to write an email outlining the problem.
24:20: Flight boarded and took off on time (No Hindu pre booked meal provided where the staff offered Non-vegetarian meals to my parents who have vegetarian on that day without any options given)
I would like to know who is at fault for this mishap and for all the commotion. Once it is identified I would like a considerable compensation.
1. An apology letter
2. Reimburse all our flights
3. Compensate for the travel back and forth
4. Any phone/internet roaming bills
5. One days accommodation
If you have any concerns please call me back on +61 (0) 401932818.
Note: All emails and names regarding the correspondence to be provided on request.

Someone please help me bring to just all the embarrassment and also a honest opinion of what the problem was.

(Aaarrgh! This is my second attempt to write this post. Save it, Claire, save it!)
I've been reading Stephen King 'On Writing', which I mentioned in a previous post. It's a good read - part memoir, part writing manual.
One piece of advice that stuck with me was on productivity. I have a tendency to fiddle about on the internet, write my blog, make a few notes and tinker about with a bit of prose and then call that a morning's work. It really isn't.
King has a regime under which he writes 2000 words a day. No excuses. No get-out. He talks about the discipline of showing up for work each day and getting the words down on paper. It's a training. He advises beginner writers to have a similar rule - 1000 words six days a week. (Only one day off otherwise you lose the flow)
Here's what he says about the job of writing -
'In an early interview..a radio talk-show host asked me how I wrote. My reply - 'One word at a time' - seemingly left him without a reply. I think he was trying to decide whether or not I was joking. I wasn't. In the end, it's always that simple. Whether it's a vignette of a single page or an epic trilogy...the work is always accomplished one word at a time.'
So here I am. New regime. No excuses!

I know I said that treading on a piece of Lego was my initiation into parenthood, but I can now go one better.
Today I attended Dear Daughter's first Parents' Evening. Proud mother? Who, me?!
She has been doing fine, it seems, so big sighs of relief all round. And she's nice to teach too, apparently! So that's good.
The only criticism her teacher made was that she occasionally goes off into her own little world or gets out of her seat and wanders around for a bit - kind of zones out.
Takes after her mother...(again)

Solstice feasting..
We had the good fortune to be invited to a lovely summer solstice BBQ at a friend's house this weekend.
Dear Daughter was most impressed by the selection of food on offer (as were we!), and nibbled her way around the table quite contentedly. Her cup runneth over when she spotted the chocolate fountain on the desert table, surrounded by piles of strawberries, marshmallows and bananas, ready to be dipped into the dark velvet liquid chocolate.
What did she select to place on a skewer to be dipped?
Black olives.
Yes. Of course she did.
Mad. Quite mad.
Takes after her mother....

On television...
Having spent the last few months salivating over an increasing number of books in the 'to read' pile, I finally have the luxury to get on with a few of them, thanks to the completion of the OU course.
I have just started Stephen King 'On Writing - A Memoir of the Craft'. I'm not normally a fan of his writing, not being particularly into horror etc, but I have had this book recommended so many times that I finally gave in and bought it. (Amazon love me, they really do....)
Anyway, I can't tell you too much at the moment as I've only read a few chapters but something he said about television really struck me. I don't watch a lot of TV, the reason being that I find it really hard to control. If I sit down at 7.30 or 8 for half an hour, that's me gone, sitting there like a zombie till it's bedtime and I have achieved precisely nothing. And most of what I am watching is rubbish. Entertaining? Yes. Addictive? Yes. But, like fast food, ultimately not very good for me. There are some programming exceptions to this, but they are quite few and far between. I just find TV to be, on the whole, such a time-wasting, brain-deactivating activity. (Of course, there are days when that is perfect for my needs, but not many, I hope!)
I just wanted to quote Stephen King on television, though, and see what you think? These remarks follow a story about how Stephen's brother, David, blew out the power in their apartment block, trying to make a school science project...
'But TV came relatively late to the King household, and I'm glad. I am, when you stop to think about it, a member of a fairly select group: the final handful of American novelists who learned to read and write before they learned to eat a daily helping of video bullshit. This might not be important. On the other hand, if you're just starting out as a writer, you could do worse than strip your television's electric plug-wire, wrap a spike around it, and then stick it back into the wall. See what blows, and how far.
Just an idea.'
(Stephen King, 'On Writing')
Now, where did I put those pliers....

Sorry, but..
Sorry, but my blog is now morphing from one of those diet blogs into one of those blogs about the funny things that peoples' kids say...
At the weekend we had our back fence replaced by Les, who is a mate of my dad's from down the pub who used to be a fencer but now drives buses. Because he now drives buses he only had the weekend to finish the job, so he brought his mate with him, who was a pretty scary-looking big shaven-headed, tattooed bloke. I took one look at him and thought, 'This is going to be interesting...'
Dear daughter takes one look at him through our patio window and runs into the kitchen like a rat up a drainpipe.
'Mummy, Mummy, there's a man with a big, fat, shiny head in our garden, with patterns on his ears!'
'Yes, he has. They're called tattooes.'
(I won't bore you with the exchange that then went on about what tattooes were, and whether or not they are a Good Thing, especially as Small Son joined in the debate, stating that he'd quite like to have one. He's three.)
Anyway, the fascination went on all weekend. The poor man couldn't move without two small children eyeing him up. The tattoo debate was livened up somewhat when the bloke revealed that the tattooes on his arms were, in fact, his childrens' names. I could see my kids processing this information and then wondering why their dad didn't have their names tatooed on his arms.
Why not, indeed?!
P.S. 2 days to go till weigh-in. Have not done well this week - 3 beers and 5 biscuits so far.... my self-control is laughable, but I don't see how anyone can resist a cold beer on a hot day... So don't get excited. I'll probably have put weight on...

Happy days..
White Russian. The drink. Love it. But only by the swimming pool in France during the summer. It's a rule - it's our 'holiday drink' and,as such, does not pass our lips at any other time of the year.
Do you know what's in it? Well, as far as I can remember it's vodka, kahlua and milk. It's like an alcoholic coffee milkshake. Just think 'The Big Lebowski' and that's us during the summer - bathrobes, board shorts and White Russians.
'Hey, careful man, there's a beverage here!'
I can't wait for summer!

The big weigh-in
I just want to let you know that this is not going to turn into some crazy diet blog where I start chuntering on about eating baby food or cabbage soup etc....
I weighed myself yesterday having been on the first week of my 'diet'. This has consisted of eating my normal three meals a day, but not drinking any booze, or eating any biscuits ('Raise your hands in the air and move away from the biscuit tin. Move away. Now!') Basically I've been trying not to snack, which is hard when you live in a house with 2 kids who would snack all day if you let them...
So. I wasn't expecting miracles. I haven't increased my exercise regime or drastically dropped my calorie intake. But I was very pleased to discover that I have lost 1.5kg this week. So that's not bad, eh? I'd like to lose about another 3 kilos or so, so it's not a major diet, but I guess it might get harder.
One thing I have been doing, which I read about, is drinking green and white tea. Apparently, there is evidence that these teas can help with weight loss, as well as being very good for you in other ways, too! I have drunk them in the past on and off, as I don't really drink coffee much, but since I've been on my mini-diet, I've been drinking green tea instead of normal or earl grey.
So, it's going ok so far. We'll see how this week pans out... Time for a green tea, I think. Off to put the kettle on.

Be updated..
I so did not have a relaxing weekend, as hoped for in my last post. Child Number 1 vomited profusely on Friday night and Child Number 2 spent Saturday night with the runs. Thanks kids.
This stomach bug, or whatever it is, is proving stubbornly resistant. The kids are still off school and likely to be for the rest of the week, unless tomorrow brings relief. I am about tearing my hair out, because they aren't really ill, apart from an occasional unusually urgent need to visit the smallest room... So finding things to occupy them in the house all week has been fun...! We have done a lot of craft, put it that way. To add insult to injury, I have been charged with the duty of collecting the stool samples (and I don't mean a three-legged sitting device) to send off for analysis. Don't mums get the best jobs?!
From one type of shit to another.... I'm also not in such a good place with the writing. I made a fatal mistake, you see. I stopped. After I finished my OU course, I had a couple of days not writing while we went on holiday, which has now stretched to a couple of weeks. The children being under my feet a lot has not helped, but I need to get back up on that horse, and pronto! It's very wierd; the less I write, the worse I feel, and the more depresesd I get, and then the less I want to write. So it's a matter of breaking the cycle, and getting back into the swing of it. I felt awful yesterday; a combination of poorly kids, nasty cold shivery weather, broken commitments, and tiredness. But today is better. The sun shone a bit, and I cheered up, especially when I read a bit in Maureen Lipman's book that made me laugh out loud. I love her. She's great!
Oh yes, and I'm weighing a bit heavy at the moment, so booze is out and salad is in, during the week, in a bid to lose that half stone that seems to have appeared from nowhere.... So, I'll be a bit thinner (with any luck), but will probably lose my sense of humour entirely.
Watch this space....

Bee update!
Well it's all looking good. The bees are no longer hanging around the old site, looking lost, and are busily going in and out of the bird box on the new post. They don't seem to hvae suffered any ill-effects. And they're right next to my runner beans so they can pollinate them when they flower. Hurray!
Feeling pretty tired tonight - dear husband, or as he shall hereafter be known - 'The Consultant', has been away since last Sunday morning and I have had a very busy week, what with the bees and all...
So looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend.
Yeah. Right.

Bumbling around
We're having some new fences. Not the most exciting subject for a post, I know. But wait! Attached to the fence post on the old fence that is due to be taken down is a bird box. No problem, I thought. It's vacant. Except it isn't. Some bumble bees have taken up residence there and built a nest. Les is coming to put the new fences in next week. What to do? I definitely didn't want to have to have the bees destroyed. Bees are facing enough problems at the moment. As well as the threat from climate change, they are being systematically attacked by a parasitic mite which kills them, with many hives having been wiped out. See this link - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/374184.stm
Bumble bees are placid creatures and no threat or nuisance, apart from where they have decided to build their nest.
So I went online (good old t'tinternet) and found instructions on how to move a bees nest. Then I rang my dad. (good old dad) And between me and dad and a torch covered with a red noodle packet (bees can't see red light very well apparently!), we moved the bees last night to a new fence post just a few metres away. There was a slight hiccup when we realised we hadn't quite covered all the holes in the bird box and a few bees escaped, but we managed to move the nest without too much difficulty. Apparently, you have to keep the nest upright, because if you don't, then their honey pots spill. Sweet.
I went out to check on them this morning and they were coming and going from the bird box seemingly unaffected. There were a few bees hanging around the old fence post looking a bit confused, but I'm hoping the others will be able to lead them back to the new location.
So, all in all, a good result, I hope. I'll keep you posted on how my little colony get on.

SIALKOT: An RPV (Remotely Piloted Vehicle) was seen entering Pakistani airspace and exiting through the border with India on Saturday, Express News reported.
Express News correspondent Asif Faraz said that the RPV entered Pakistani airspace near the Chaprar sector in Sialkot at around 1:55pm. It remained in Pakistani airspace for a minute and a half and was sent back when it came to the attention of the Pakistani Air Force.
The RPV was reported to be green in colour and flying at a height of 3,500 feet.
Earlier in June, two Indian fighter planes entered Pakistan's airspace near Head Sulemanki border. The planes were reportedly five to seven miles inside Pakistan.

7.62mm M73 and Calibre .50 M85 Machine Guns
The M73 Machine Gun was designed as a co-axially mounted gun specifically to fit between the breech ring of the 105mm cannon and the mantlet of the M60 tank. The space dictated the size and shape of the gun mechanism. Richard Colby of the U.S. Springfield Armory designed the mechanism.
The military characteristics tor this gun were established at a conference held at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in October 1950. The Research and Development work was begun in February 1951, stopped in June 1953, and resumed in May 1956.
This new machine gun was to meet the following considerations:
a. Recoil operated.
b. Air cooled.
c. Contain a short receiver.
d. Cyclic rate to be 350-600 rounds per minute.
e. Have a right or left-handed feed.
f. Quick-change barrel with fixed head space.
g. Of approximately .30 calibre.
Four designs, T197, T198, T199 and T200, were considered with the T197 being selected for further development and refinement resulting in the T197E2 in February 1958. In May 1959 the T197E2 was type classified standard "A" and designated the M73 Machine Gun.
Initial delivery scheduled for June 1960 was delayed until October 1960 because of low recoil energy and separated cartridge cases. In 1960-62 Springfield Armory developed the booster modification to the M73. It consisted of new case carrier grips,

NASA recently began a new mission in the Great Barrier Reef to "transform our understanding of Earth's valuable and ecologically sensitive coral reefs."
The COral Reef Airborne Laboratory (CORAL) mission is a three-year mission that combines aerial surveys with in-water sampling.
"CORAL offers the clearest, most extensive picture to date of the condition of a large portion of the world's coral reefs," CORAL Principal Investigator Eric Hochberg of the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS), said in a news release. "This new understanding of reef condition and function will allow scientists to better predict the future of this global ecosystem and provide policymakers with better information for decisions regarding resource management."
CORAL will collect data and generate a uniform data set for a large sample of reefs across the Pacific. The data will be used to provide new models for analyzing reef ecosystems, allowing scientists to search for trends between reef conditions and natural and human-produced factors.
"Virtually all reef assessments to date rely on in-water survey techniques that are laborious, expensive and limited in spatial scope," Hochberg said. "Very little of Earth's reef area has been directly surveyed. More importantly, there are no existing models that quantitatively relate reef conditions to the full range of biological and environmental factors that affect them — models that can help scientists better understand how coral reefs will respond to expected environmental changes. CORAL addresses an urgent need in the face of ongoing worldwide reef degradation, and also serves as a pathfinder for a future satellite mission to globally survey the world's reefs."

Van Nuys is more than a neighborhood. Growing up in the Valley, I remember what the Boulevard looked like before and how proud local residents were to have been raised in Van Nuys and raise their own children here.
Today, while some things have changed, the dedication of our residents to their community has not wavered. We are home to some of the most active Neighborhood Watches and community groups in the City. Unfortunately, crime numbers have increased across Los Angeles and Van Nuys is no exception. While our crime statistics remain lower than the average Citywide, here in Van Nuys, residents are waking up to see more headlines about crime locally. But public safety is about more than statistics and headlines; it is about feeling safe and secure in your home and neighborhood.
We have a right to feel safe walking their kids to school in the morning and parking our cars at night. I've been proud of the work that we have accomplished in the Sixth District by working hand in hand with LAPD, the City Attorney and community leaders. Not only have we shut down two thirds of the illegal medical marijuana dispensaries in our part of Van Nuys but with the addition of a Prostitution Enforcement Detail car, we have made 144 prostitution related arrests this year alone.
But there is still more to do. We need to make sure that this part of the Valley gets the resources that it needs. That's why Monday night, over 100 Van Nuys community members joined me to meet the newest members of police leadership in the Valley as well as engage in an open dialogue with the department. Chief Charlie Beck joined the newest members of the Valley team including the new Valley Bureau Deputy Chief Bob Green and our new Van Nuys Division Captain Lillian Carranza. It was also the first time in nearly two years that Chief Beck had visited the Sixth District for a public meeting.
The dialogue was respectful as LAPD and I answered questions from the community and the residents learned more about our new local leadership. Chief Charlie Beck also discussed crime throughout the City and heard firsthand about the quality of life in Van Nuys. I was proud of our City and our residents as we developed the lines of communication to build better solutions for our neighborhoods.
Few Council Districts in Los Angeles have so many dedicated individuals that are willing to take time to speak directly with City leaders. This meeting would not have been possible without the participation and passion of our community. We will continue to work together to make a better tomorrow in Van Nuys and throughout the Sixth.

First Lady Michelle Obama Talks About Her Bestie Beyonce, Her Husband Barack And More (Video)
Hahahaaa! She called her husband 'swagalicious'… priceless! Watching Michelle Obama talk about it with Stephen Colbert, you really get the feeling that the evening mealtime is more 'dinner with the Obamas' than 'dinner at The White House.'
Turns out everyone in President Obama's family does an impression of him, usually at the dinner table. But the leader of the free world would rather gossip.
Nice. Lively interview with the lovely First Lady. Going to miss the Obamas when they move out of 1600. But bet your last dollar they will not just 'go away.' Way too much charisma and gumption for that. I'm almost as excited about the post-Presidency as I was when President Obama was voted and sworn in…both times #Swag
