Attended Albany State University , learned to program a Univac 1100/80 using assembly language, and COBOL on a Cardpunch machine.
True Story!
First programming job was with Playnet, an online gaming and chat system for the Commodore 64 that was the precursor to AOL.
Went on to become phone support tech, remote troubleshooting system issues with customers across the nation.
Went on to learn desktop publishing at one of the first self service computer-based printshops, called 'Compose Yourself & Print It'. They used Macintosh SE. When we finally got a COLOR macintosh, I thought I was in heaven.
Designed first website in 1994, using open source software, and notepad, all over a blazing fast 56000 baud modem.
In 1996 I joined Circuit City Stores IT Department as a service technician, part of a team that provided support for the 5000+ onsite employees at the national corporate headquarters, and later was in charge of remote support for our 40+ regional offices.
Well, we all know what happened to Circuit City, but I swear it wasn't my fault.
It did well, but family matters took me to Northern New Jersey, where I remain.
I continue to work in destop publishing, graphic arts, prepress, computer repair, websites, photoshoots. I rebranded the business as Lelanda.com, because it's SO much easier to remember.
I am a strong advocate of Linux and Open Source Software, which this site is based on. I currently service the Northern New Jersy, and New York City area.
I got to take the summer off.
I had just purchased a digital camera after a lifetime of 35mm film. I joined forces with a vetrenary clinic and doggie daycare by setting up a Pet Photography shop at the Crossroads West Veterenary Center, in Richmond VA. I called it 'The Brightroom.biz'. It was a LOT of fun! Here are some of the pictures I took there.

The serum iron test measures the amount of iron in your blood. The total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) test looks at how well the iron moves through your body.
Iron is an important mineral that your body needs to stay healthy. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, the protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. If you don't have enough iron, you may not have enough hemoglobin. This condition is called iron deficiency anemia.
Iron in your body is carried, or bound, mainly to a protein made by your liver called transferrin. The TIBC test is based on certain proteins, including transferrin, found in the blood. Your transferrin levels are almost always measured along with iron and TIBC.

My main post today is on my personal blog, The independents' quid pro quo. This was a response to a question from Ramana, an Indian blogging friend.
While I still haven't had time to look properly at the detail of the regional development package agreed between the two independents and the Government, writing the post did at least give me an opportunity to start fleshing out some views.
The reaction to the decision to support the ALP expressed in comments by some in Mr Windsor's electorate has been quite savage. You can get a feel for this if you read the comments on the Northern Daily Leader editorial, Why Windsor is right. One of the milder comments and the editor's response captures the conflict:
I read with interest your article regarding why you believe Mr Windsor made the correct decision, please allow me to elucidate to you why he was wrong and indeed correct some of your unreasonable assumptions. Firstly, Mr Windsor was wrong because he represents an electorate that more closely aligns itself with the conservative side of politics. That is the primary reason. Windsors disingenuous blather regarding it not being about political ideology is trite in it's condescension. There are sides to politics for a reason, and generally that reason is because the "other" side is anathema to those who have opposite political ideals. Want more? The Coalition won the primary vote. Labor incidentally only attained an 8% primary in NE. The Coalition won more seats. The Coalition to this point has won the two party preferred. Cont.
Ed note: Mr Windsor is an independent - a political position with a long and distinguished history. Your argument would reduce him to a poll-driven robot (something akin to his view of the major parties).

All of those years ago when I was active in the Country Party/National Country Party, one of the constant problems faced by those like me who wanted to bring about longer term change for the future of the Party, lay in the fact that some of our greatest supporters were anti-Labor first, Country Party second.
This created a constant tension: the Party was expected to deliver, but could only do so so long as it did not upset arrangements with the Liberals too badly. This gave a very narrow window in which to move.
Whether one agrees with the independents' actions or not, it's going to be interesting to watch events unfold. It remains my feeling that all this does give us an opportunity to get a greater focus on needs across the broader New England.
In a post today on Australian Observer, Regional development: a bit of history, Paul Barratt reminded me of the decision in 1998 to change the name of the Federal Department of Transport and Regional Development to the Department of Transport and Regional Services. Such a minor thing, just the substitution of the word Services for Development, yet quite significant.

Well, the water was only out for most of the day, luckily we spent the better part of the day exploring Granada's streets. The Parque Central is the main square area of the Centro Turistico where we're staying. The cathedral is located right at the park and from there the streets radiate out from the city center.
There are tons of stalls set up selling souvenirs, tour guides vying for your business and a lot of horse drawn carriages in which you can bumpily tour the city. The carriage tour could have been romantic but the horses seemed in rough shape and the smell was pretty pungent that none of us were up for it.
We wandered around a bit until finding a suitable place to eat breakfast before getting the day started. A typical breakfast consists of a juice, coffee, pinto gallo (rice and beans) and eggs and toast
Having already wandered around the central area near the park the previous night and that morning, we took a different direction after breakfast and ended up at the municipal market which was a wandering maze of stalls selling everything from clothes and hardware to raw meat, vegetables, and everything in between. Think of it as a mix between a farmers' market mixed with a swap meet and having the one stop shopping convenience of a Walmart. Laura just about lost her breakfast walking through the meat section, the smell was pretty atrocious and it was an unnerving thought that perhaps this is where the restaurants get their food from as well as the locals. Seeing someone waving flies off fish that's sitting on a counter in 80° heat was interesting. I actually enjoyed the assault on my senses, the competing smells, the people, cars and motorbikes everywhere….the controlled chaos of it all was exactly what I look for in traveling to strange places.
Our self guided tour took up a good portion of the afternoon and the heat and humidity started building up enough that a few old drinks of the adult variety and a dip in the pool at the hostel seemed like a great plan. Clark and I stopped in a small store near the hostel and picked up a small bottle of rum, a bottle of coke and two beers for about $5.50.
Now the hardest part about winging it starts..it's our second full day, where do we go next!? We've got several options so Nica is our oyster right now…as soon as we can get Laura out of bed. Below are a few more photos from our day in Granada.

Menet, o-line progresses, but there's work to be done
UNIVERSITY PARK — Michal Menet seemingly had everything working against him coming into the season.
He was asked to switch positions with Connor McGovern from right guard to center, and when put in game situations he saw a lot of atypical defensive packages from both Appalachian State and Pitt.
Mix that with wet weather conditions in Pittsburgh last weekend and it's easy for someone to forgive him if the mistakes were to come with the obstacles.
However, nobody has had to do that so far because he and the offense have the transition look rather fluid.
Now he, like the rest of his team, is on to Kent State — which Menet says has a lot of similarities on defense to that of the Mountaineers in week one — in weather conditions much like the Lions played in last weekend.
Menet is quick to say he's grown a lot on the field in just the first two games of the season, but also is the first to point out that there is still work to be done.
"I think there's always room for improvement no matter how many yards we have rushing. We can always do better," Menet said. "I think obviously, that starts with us. But when you have great backs like we do, they make our jobs a lot easier. They can make people miss in the second level, the first level if they need to and we have a lot of great guys with a lot of great skill sets that allow us to do really big things with a ball in their hands. I think our rushing game can continue to keep growing as we go throughout the season."
The offensive line has surprised early on, allowing the Lions to have a balanced attack with an average of 204 passing yards to go with an average of 208 yards rushing in their first two games.
Keeping quarterback Trace McSorley upright is the important task for the line on passing plays and allowing two sacks in a pair of games is promising. That, however, isn't what Menet and the line take the most pride in.
"I think rushing yards is probably the biggest one for offensive line because like I said, even though we have great backs, the more push we get, the more movement we're getting off the ball and makes their job a lot easier," he said. "I think rushing yards is one of the biggest things we think kind of signifies how we're playing as a unit."
The transition has come with some room for growth. Defenders have had their success against the offensive line, recording 11 tackles for loss that cost the Lions 42 yards. Defenses also rushed McSorley — whom the Lions are thankful can move around enough on his own — six times.
The toughest part for Menet is having to be responsible for the ball and then helping keep a play alive.
"I think the biggest challenge has just been obviously snapping the ball and then doing everything else after that," he said. "I think I did a pretty good job with that. I haven't had many bad snaps and I think from the first game to the second game, I've made pretty big improvements in my technique and fundamentals post snap which I think helped me out a lot."
Menet looks to keep improving on his game going up against the Golden Flash defense.
"I think it's a little bit of a challenge to snap the ball and have a guy right up on you," he said. "I was used to it a little bit going through it in camp, but it was good for me to see it in week one so I can really see the areas that I needed to improve on and Kent State is a three-down kind of team so it will have a somewhat similar look. I'm excited to get back out there and just really try to improve from what I did in week one to what I can do here in week three against another really good team."

Regina Pats goalie Max Paddock is putting Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan behind him in favour of an even bigger game Wednesday against the rival Swift Current Broncos.
Rookie goaltender focused on the bright side
Max Paddock lost a game but not his perspective — or his sense of humour.
The Regina Pats' netminder was quick to lighten the mood when asked how he was recovering from his team's most-recent game at the Memorial Cup — an 8-6 loss to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.
"Well, the sun came up today, so that's a bonus," Paddock said with a smile. "Obviously I would have liked to come up with a few more saves but I just wasn't good enough. You have to forget about it. I feel like I can do that."
Assuming he gets the nod, Paddock's mettle will be tested in Wednesday's round-robin finale against the Swift Current Broncos — a game with huge implications for both teams.
It's a lot of pressure for a rookie goaltender, but the spotlight at the Memorial Cup hasn't been too bright so far.
"I love all the pressure from the media and being on national TV every game," said Paddock, 17. "I love that part, with it being such a big stage. Not everyone gets to play in it. All of us are just enjoying the ride."
Paddock was the big story on Day 1 after his spectacular 31-save effort in Regina's 3-2 win over the Hamilton Bulldogs. He experienced the other side two nights later after giving up six goals on 32 shots versus Acadie-Bathurst.
Paddock was replaced for the third period by veteran Ryan Kubic, who deflected the first shot into his own net and was nearly fooled by a subsequent crazy bounce. Kubic spent the rest of his time watching an improbable comeback as Regina turned a 7-2 blowout into a 7-6 nailbiter.
"It was good to see the guys battle back," said Paddock, who was victimized by a combination of bad goals, bad luck and an impressive display by the QMJHL champions.
"Maybe I was the difference but we came back and scored six goals. If you look at the black and white, I probably should have stopped three more but maybe we'd still lose 5-2. You just never know."
Kubic played well in a first-round playoff matchup with the Broncos after Paddock suffered a hip-flexor injury in practice just three days before Game 1. The youngster thinks it would be "a great opportunity" to get another shot at them on Wednesday.
"It sucks being sidelined with an injury at any time … but especially during playoffs when it's crunch time," he said. "With (the series) being so close, you feel like maybe you could have made a difference. Maybe I couldn't have. Maybe we would have lost in five or six. There's lots of what-ifs."
None of which matter now.
Although head coach/GM John Paddock declined to reveal his starter, he did state repeatedly that there are "zero concerns" about the mental state of his nephew, whose unflappable nature has become a theme this season.
Don't be surprised if he gets another chance to show it on Wednesday.
"I've always been that way — able to bounce back and not let things bother me too much," added Max. "The guys in the room have belief in me or Ryan, whoever they go with. Come Wednesday we'll be better and we'll be playing better defensively as well."

Posted: March 5, 2014
There are a number of cosmetic procedures which can be performed quickly and provide an immediate 'bang for your buck.' Sometimes referred to as 'lunchtime procedures,' Botox is one of these that are an excellent option. Botox has many benefits, so when is it the right time to get Botox treatment?
The right time for starting any type of cosmetic facial treatment is typically determined by how apparent any wrinkles or lines are on your face. If you don't see any lines yet, then it is probably not the ideal time. However, for men or women with lighter eyes, hair or skin tones, facial wrinkles will develop faster.
Factors to Consider
Botox is a relatively safe nonsurgical procedure which temporarily reduces your frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines. It involves several tiny injections which block the nerve impulses to the muscles in your treated region, thereby reducing muscle activity which causes the thin, fine lines.
For many patients, facial treatments correlate to the number 9 – meaning your 29th, 39th or 49th birthday. The best candidates are those who:
- have no neuromuscular disease history (i.e. myasthenia gravis or multiple sclerosis)
- are at least 18 years old
- are not nursing or pregnant
- are physically healthy
Bear in mind, though, that everyone responds differently to specific treatments, so be sure to discuss your options by consulting with your med spa staff.
Learn more about the benefits of Botox by contacting our Denver aestheticians today. Facial Aesthetics serves patients in the Denver, Colorado areas.

Calhoun not a fan of hoops transfers
But ex-UConn coach admits he'd do the same thing
SOUTHINGTON >> Jim Calhoun can't stress it enough: it has nothing to do with UConn, or Iowa State, or Oregon, or Duke, or any of the many schools that have taken great advantage of the NCAA men's basketball loose transfer rules.
It's just that Calhoun doesn't like the system as is. At all. He doesn't like the fact that some 700 kids have already transferred from one program to another over the past couple of months, and that many of them will be eligible to play right away. And he believes the rules have to change, so that at the very least, all transfers must sit out at least one year.
"I'm not a transfer guy," Calhoun said, defiantly, at the 30th annuel Franciscan Sports Banquet on Tuesday at the Aqua Turf Club. "It's a different age, and everybody has to do it, I think. But honestly, overall — it's got nothing to do with UConn or anybody right now — it's got to do with the sport. It's not great for the sport. One-and-done is not particularly great, but a kid comes, is great and leaves, it's understandable."
But now, if a player has graduated from a program but still has a year left of playing eligibility — due to a prior transfer, an injury, or whatever reason — he can tranfer to another school and be eligible to play right away. UConn has taken advantage of that over the past few years since Kevin Ollie replaced Calhoun has head coach: R.J. Evans in 2012-13, Lasan Kromah in 2013-14 and, for this upcoming season, Sterling Gibbs (from Seton Hall) and Shonn Miller (Cornell), both of whom should be starters and key players for the Huskies.
UConn is also welcoming VCU transfer Terry Larrier, but he'll have to sit out a season after playing for the Rams as a freshman last season. Over the past couple of seasons, UConn has also welcomed in NC State transfer Rodney Purvis (who had to sit out a year) and JUCO transfer Sam Cassell, Jr.
In Calhoun's 26 seasons as UConn's head coach, he took in almost no transfers. Ed Nelson, who transferred from Georgia Tech after his freshman year in 2003, was one of the few. As Calhoun's former UConn assistant and current Central Connecticut State head coach Howie Dickenman said on Tuesday, "Transfers transfer problems."
The Huskies once considered taking in Virginia transfer Courtney Alexander, who had been convicted of assaulting his girlfriend, nearly 20 years ago. They wound up passing, and Alexander wound up at Fresno State.
Of course, it's a different world these days, and most transfers come in with no baggage. They're either looking for more playing time, unhappy with their former coach, or, in the case of Miller and Gibbs, exhausting their final year of eligibility at a different school.
But while Calhoun is uncomfortable with the mass wave of transfers these days, he thoroughly admits that, if he were still coaching, he'd likely take advantage, as well.
"If I'm sitting in that seat today, and I'm thinking about the fact that I've got to fill roster spots, I've to I've got to fill them," Calhoun confessfessed. "So, it's not UConn, it's not anybody. It's not Fred Hoiberg at Iowa State. Our team might be close to 50 percent (transfers) this year -- Cassell, Purvis, the three other kids ... I will embrace those kids. I think I met the Gibbs kid when we were recruiting him, actually. I've met the Miller kid and Larrier — I'll welcome them to the Husky family and hope that they're accepted well."
Ollie is hardly the only coach to take advantage of tranfer rules. Oregon's Dana Altman and Iowa State's Hoiberg (who on Tuesday took over as coach of the Chicago Bulls) have built their recent success largely on the backs of transfers. In his five seasons as coach of the Cyclones, 19 tranfer players suited up for Iowa State. On last year's roster, seven of ISU's 14 players started their careers at other programs.
But perhaps no one cornered the grad transfer market better this offseason than Ollie. Gibbs, who led Cornell in scoring and rebounding last season, will help UConn greatly on the boards and on defense. And Gibbs, an all-Big East second team selection last season, will likely be the Huskies' starting point guard next season and will be one of the top players on the team.
Asked if he understands why Ollie is going the tranfer route, Calhoun quickly interrupts:
"You mention Kevin, I'm not mentioning Kevin. You take it that way, then it's Coach Calhoun is knocking UConn. Of course I"m not doing that. I said, if Jim Calhoun was sitting at this seat today, and recruiting hadn't gone quite as well as I wanted to and I could get two fifth-year, all-league players? No-brainer."
But there are other coaches to think about -- those that are losing players that they helped grow and mature over the prior four years.
"How would you like to have some of our players taken away?" Calhoun asked, rhetorically. "In all honesty, I'm not (trying to help Seton Hall coach) Kevin Willard here, but they're pretty good players he's losing. We could look at anybody — the Mississippi State kid, (Rodney) Hood at Duke. It's not Kevin, if you mix that up, you're trying to make something that's not there. What it is, I think, is a developing problem in college athletics and college basketball."

United Way making final push in fundraising campaign
With just more than two weeks remaining, Prairieland United Way is making a final push for donations for its 2017 fundraising campaign.
Executive Director Karen Walker said things have slowed down but she remains hopeful that the campaign will meet its goal.
"We have two more weeks and we are at approximately 92 percent," Walker said. "We still have a few campaigns out there, but we are going to need the community's support. I expect those (remaining) campaigns to cover maybe half of the remaining goal."
The 2017 campaign theme is "Neighbors united — Give. Advocate. Volunteer." and had a fundraising goal of $520,000.
The slow-down, is a pretty typical trend, Walker said.
"Usually when we get down to the last month, things slow down," she said. "The last 5 to 6 percent is usually community support. It's vital that we have as much support as possible."
Prairieland United Way raises and distributes funds for health-, education- and employment-related service programs in Morgan, Scott, Cass and northern Greene counties.
Walker said she'll be working with donors to fill positions on the panel that will decide how to allocate money to programs and agencies.
With the deadline for applications ended, Prairieland United Way has more requested than can be funded with the $520,000 goal, Walker said.
"We have over 30 agencies and over 40 programs requesting grants," Walker said. "We have more requests than what we will have funds for. We really need as much support as we can get."
The allocation process will begin in March.
Those wishing to donate can give money through the organization's webpage, by calling 217-245-4557, or by sending donations to 200 W. Douglas Ave. in Jacksonville. Those wishing to join a panel can contact Walker.
"It's important for us to support these programs and agencies," she said. "They are vital to the health and heart of the community."

Lenovo, a Chinese company has got plans to release Tablet PC by the end of 2010. Apple's iPhone 4 was challenged by Lenovo's (LePhone) handset and now it is likely that they may release Tablet PC (LePad) to compete against iPad.
Liu Jun is the senior VP and President from Lenovo's consumer business group has said that, "The tablet PC that is to be released will run on Android mobile OS and is referred as 'LePad'", which was later confirmed by Lenovo.
Lenovo's Chairman Liu Chuanzhi has commented that CEO of Apple, Steve jobs has not considered the Chinese market. Liu Chuanzhi has said to Financial times that, "If Apple were to spend the same effort on the Chinese consumer as we do, (Lenovo) would be in trouble"
Earlier this year, Lenovo has launched its handset termed "LePhone". The company's main aim is to excel in China first and then move to other countries for selling their Phone. Lenovo hopes for the company's business to increase from 10 % to 20 % in the field of mobile services and Internet hardware, by the next 5 years.
There are other companies in China who are going to release their own tablets PCs, but Lenovo is bigger and effective company in building such devices.
IDC Asia Pacific's VP Bryan Ma has commented the Lenovo's plans by stating, "Lenovo is well known and established, which will be in their favour"
According to IDC, the export of Tablet PC will increase to one million for both Taiwan and China jointly, by the year 2011. And by the year 2014, it will be four million. We will have to wait to see how it goes for tablet markets in China.
Ma said that, "It is still unknown about the applications that can be used on the tablet PC. What category of people it will draw."
Apple's iPad will be sold from this Friday in Hong Kong, but no information on its plans to sell in China.

Great experience!
Everyone had a great time!
Amazing Family Vacation
Jonathan was quick to respond through our planning process and even continued to follow up after our trip. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food delicious, and the house was perfect for our family of 7! Most of the gathering areas are "open air" so don't expect to be cool in the summertime unless you're in your bedroom or in the pool. Because of the hacienda style, some areas of the home and it's contents feel slightly "weathered", maybe a little "tired" and could use some refreshing, but aside from that, the place is paradise. You will not find another property more beautiful in this price point. The backyard beach was a hit with every family member. The pool hang out is where we spent nearly every minute of the day. The sunsets...my oh my, the sunsets. A quick drive into town makes the location total perfection. Thanks Jonathan and staff for a wonderful trip!
Family Summer Vacation Getaway!
From the very beginning, Jonathan was very kind and communicative with us regarding every detail. We even had to move our trip because of a conflicting commitment, and he was very accommodating.
We were greeted by Jonathan's father, who flew in that day from Mexico City, to welcome us to Casa Paty. He was cheerful, informative and made us feel at home from the very moment we arrived. The staff made us feel like we were at a 5 star resort. Sergio, will be your chef; no really....he's a true chef and a genius in the kitchen. Emilio was our house keeper overall takes care of anything you need. Luc was our house cleaner, which she kept all of our rooms and bathrooms spotless.
We are getting married in October and wanted our children to have time to bond before the wedding. We were the Mexican Brady Bunch, bringing together a total of 9 family members under one roof. Casa Paty was the perfect space. There are 6 bedrooms, each with it's own full bathroom, and 2 extra bathrooms (totaling 8).The house has lots of space to mingle and activities everyone enjoyed. We enjoyed hearing the soothing waves daily, walking along the beach, snorkeling while seeing lots of marine life, and making a lifetime of memories.
Thank you, Jonathan, your father, Sergio, Emilio, and Luc! We were all truly blessed by this trip!
Great beach front home for a large group
From the start, Jonathan was a very responsive and welcoming host. When we arrived everything was exactly what we had imagined based on the pictures of the listing. The chef and staff were really responsive and helpful the entire time. We had came home late from our day of activity and the staff had waited over 6 hours to serve us which we really appreciated. The home itself was well laid out and the majority of the time was spent by the pool which over looked the ocean and AMAZING sunsets. We were a group of 11 working professionals from California and we travel to Mexico often. This was one of the best trips because of the house and i would book the home again in a heartbeat! Safe and quiet area and everything was gated and we never felt unsafe. Thanks again Jonathan!
Below expectations, not as advertised. High price, low value.
We were a group of 11 people staying for one week at Casa Paty, all of us have visited PV many times and rented many properties. We were captivated by the photos of the beach front location, but upon arrival this house is definitely not luxurious.
The interior of the house would be best described as tired. A shining jewel of yesteryear that has not been maintained well. The common areas are drab and low-end. The great room on the entry level had worn out furniture, a musty smell, and very weird energy. There were random cardboard boxes stored in every nook and cranny in the bar. None of us were comfortable in this room and didn't spend any time there.
For hang out space that left us with the lower/ground level. The large sofas are nice and comfortable to flop out on, and we spent all of our social time there. By the end of the week however, we were all a little tired of spending time only in that space. If only the great room weren't so weird…. The bar on the ground floor is cluttered with empty bottles of wine and three suspended halogen lights, one of which insisted on flickering on and off at all times. Combine that with more clutter from two high chairs, pool toys in various degrees of inflation, and a constant drip from the ceiling that hit whichever sorry diner chose to sit in the most prime seat at the dining table.
The bedrooms were fine at best. Most of the mattresses were really comfortable and each room has its own (small but functional) bathroom. Decor is (again) tired. The master has a beautiful ocean view and one of the other rooms has a garden courtyard, the other four bedrooms have either no view or no windows. There were holes in the bed linens, one guest had several large holes in her pillowcase. The beach/bathroom towels are well past their expiration date.
The house cleaner was wonderful, she was kind and maintained our rooms very well despite the shabby linens. The cooking was just passable. The server was quite complacent - we had to ask for tasks that should be automatic: clean beach towels in the morning, tidying up, wiping down the bar. He never once offered to bring us a drink, and rolled his eyes several times at us when we asked for things.
The beachfront location is wonderful, very sandy beach with water calm enough to take a dip in. This is the only reason to give this house 1 out of 5 stars.
The owner is relying way too much on the beachfront location, creating a very sub-par vacation experience overall.
Great house!
We stayed here Wednesday through Sunday of Memorial Weekend. Six couples. Zero complaints. The staff was great. Very respectful of your privacy but always there when you need them. We went out for dinner each night but breakfast and lunch at the house were fantastic. The beach is great. Practically private. A little south of all the action but a short cab ride to town. I have a hard time believing anyone would be disappointed in this place. I've never been to the same VRBO twice but this will be the exception.

I love sweet things! Chocolate, cake, biscuits, you name it! However in the last year, I have really tried to find healthier ways of getting my chocolate fix. As it is my birthday week, this blog is all about delicious sweet things, which are healthy and cut out the rubbish. There are some very simple recipes at the end of the blog. Sugar is addictive and the more we have it, the more it messes with our blood sugar levels and then the more we crave it. It affects our mood negatively, depletes our energy levels, causes fatigue, messes with our skin, unbalances insulin levels and causes a risk of developing diabetes, obesity and heart disease. Not to mention it can cause higher risk of developing injuries or taking longer to heal if we are injured from dancing.
I had always previously considered myself to be a healthy person and a biscuit here and there wouldn't matter as I could quickly dance it off. I think everything in moderation is fine, but it's when it becomes an unconscious way of eating, there is a problem and we should question what processed sugar does to our insides as it sits around our vital organs once it has been converted into fats during digestion. Sugar for some people may not cause weight gain but can catch up at a later date with more sinister health conditions. Sugar is compared to a drug and after my recent health issues, it has certainly kicked me into action to really, properly take care of myself and what I put into my body. I have discovered that there are so many ways to satisfy sweet cravings, give you energy and at the same time not risking your health.
Sugar is well disguised in many of the foods that we eat in a typical western diet and it is easy to think we may not have a high sugar diet but in actual fact, sugar is in many forms of food. Apart from from the obvious foods such as sweets, biscuits and anything with added white sugar, it can also be found in bread, rice, pasta, breakfast cereals, fruit juices, low fat yoghurts and desserts, energy drinks, sodas, alcohol, ketchup, salad cream, salad dressings, croissants, bagels. It is naturally in foods such as honey, maple syrup, agave.
Our bodies are not designed to consume large amounts of sugar and are only really designed to absorb natural sugars from fruits and vegetables. The green juice, which I talked about in part 1, is a great way to start the day and is heavier in vegetables than it is in fruit, so as to not consume as much natural sugar. I now have very little sugar in my diet, in comparison to before and have been able to gradually break the pattern of eating sugar by trying out some of the unbelievably simple ideas I have gathered along the way…
I have discovered Cacao Powder (pronounced co-cow) – described as 'the drink of the gods'. It is the purest form of chocolate and because of its purity it used to be very expensive. To make it more affordable, producers created a cheaper, synthetic chocolate (cocoa) and it is what is generally on sale in shops today. Cacao was used medicinally as it is packed with zinc, copper and magnesium and it can be used as drinking chocolate or in desserts. It is so delicious and it is so good for you. I love making healthy drinks, snacks and desserts which are hugely satisfying, energising during a busy day dancing and versatile. Here are some super, simple ones that I love:
1. Hot Chocolate – Raw Cacao powder and Almond milk. Heat the milk and stir in the chocolate. This takes the edge off of any chocolate cravings! You can always add in a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra taste!
2. Raw Chocolate Brownies (Deliciously Ella recipe)
You will need:
400g x Medjool dates
3 x tablespoons Cacao Powder
140g x Pecan nuts
2 tablespoons x Maple syrup (optional)
1. Pulse the pecans in a food processor until crumbly. Then add in all of the other ingredients. Blend together.
2. Once the mixture is sticky, take it out the food processor and even out on a baking tray.
3. Freeze for the mixture for 1 hour. Take them out the freezer, cut into squares and then store them in the fridge.
Cacao Energy Balls (Deliciously Ella recipes)
You will need:
200g Almonds
400g Medjool dates
4 tablespoons of cacao powder
2 tablespoons of almond butter
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
2 tablespoons of chia seeds
1. Blend the almonds so they are crushed in a food processor. Add all of the other ingredients and 2 tablespoons of water. Blend it all together.
2. Roll the mixture into balls. (It should make roughly 20).
3. Place the balls in the freezer to set for 1 hour and then remove them and store in the fridge.

When I was younger, having your photo taken was a social event. You went out for the day with your family or friends. At some point you decided it would be nice to have a record of what you were doing. So you'd chat about the best place to take the photo, where to stand, who was going to hold the camera. Maybe if you both decided to be in the photo, you'd politely ask a stranger to take the photo for you, and you'd have a brief conversation as you explained how your camera worked. Finally, the shot would be taken and maybe later on you'd send your friend a print of that special day out as a souvenir of your friendship.
Yesterday I was given a tablet – so much for my efforts to stay away from technology! It was a really generous present and exactly what I have needed for a long time. But I discovered that when it comes to using the camera, the lens can point both ways. You can either take a picture of something else out there or you can take a photo of yourself. No wonder selfies have become so popular.
But if that means you miss out on the social interaction of taking a photo, then I think we are losing something important. It seems to me that the more we become interconnected online, there is a danger that we become less and less interconnected in real life. Solitary people who take photos of their solitary selves and post them online just aren't engaging in quite the same way. Maybe it's a sign that we are actually developing a fear of solitude, and if that's the case, then maybe this Lent is a good chance to reflect on the positive value of solitude and silence.

I believe that standing up for yourself is the first step on the road to recovery from the harsh psychological effects that sexual harassment often causes. I strive to help put an end to sexual harassment, so that others will never have to suffer the abuse that my clients have faced.

Junk Collector: How Much Rubbish Can Be Collected From An Aussie Beach?
In most of our blogs – we write about the business of being a junk collector for commercial businesses – i.e. performing regular waste bins and recycling collections for small companies.
In today's blog – we intend to speak about the opportunities available for you – individuals to get involved in cleaning up beaches and reserves throughout Australia.
As a junk collector for a day – you may be amazed at just how much rubbish an Australian beach may be polluted with.
Wanting to arrange bin collections for your business?
As a small business owner – you may not know how best to arrange rubbish collections for your business.
You can easily compare prices and arrange the junk collector bin services that you require by clicking on our online store as below.
All our services are performed on flexible 30 day agreements – so you do not need to worry about hidden costs or surcharges – or the dreaded rollover clause.
If you seek to arrange skip services – simply give our friendly customer service team a phone call and they will be happy to help.
Could you be a junk collector for a day – and what would you expect?
Even the most remote beaches and rural areas in Australia have lots of rubbish washed up on them – or dumped by passers by.
This is very unpleasant to look at but can also be dangerous for animal life who can get ensnared in the rubbish – or even eat it as in the case of plastic.
We have covered the huge problem caused by dumping in the ocean – such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch – a huge area of floating rubbish in the open ocean. I suppose we should not be surprised that lots of rubbish can also wash up on our beaches.
For an example of how much rubbish can accumulate on a beach – see the example of Fraser Island Clean Up in Qld – where volunteer junk collector teams recently collected 6 tonnes of rubbish.
The programme is covered in the ABC article here.
The huge amount of rubbish was estimated as either left by campers or washed ashore.
The rubbish was estimated as comprising 80% plastic waste such as bottles.
"All the stuff coming down on the outside of the Great Barrier Reef, from Papua New Guinea and the Philippines and all that, it's basically going to land here on Fraser," Mr Thompson said.
The good thing was it showed that people really care about combating the problem:
"Some 800 volunteers turned out to help with the clean-up effort, with many saying they were happy to get their hands dirty to help preserve the World Heritage site."
"To clean up and do our bit, and help all the little fish," said Rita Barrow from Greenbank, near Brisbane."
"I've always come to Fraser since I was really little, my parents came here before they even thought about having children," volunteer Tara Hird said.
We should not really be surprised that our beaches are becoming covered in rubbish.
As plastic production and usage grows worldwide – and an increasing rate – and waste finds its way into the sea – it will inevitably end up on our beaches.
We live in a global economy – but more importantly a global ecosystem.
If waste enters the water in one place – it could end up anywhere.
Check out the National Geographic video below on what a coastal clean up can involve!

Product Description:
Eero Saarinen was elected a fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1952. He is also a winner of the AIA Gold Medal in 1962.
Saarinen is now considered as one of the masters of American 20th century architecture. There has been a surge of interest in Saarinen's work in recent years, including a major exhibition and several books. This is partly because of the Roche and Dinkeloo office having donated their Saarinen archives to Yale University, but also because Saarinen's oeuvre can be said to fit in with present-day concerns about pluralism of styles. He was criticized in his own time—most vociferously by critic Vincent Scully—for having no identifiable style; one explanation for this is that Saarinen adapted his modernist vision to each individual client and project, which were never exactly the same.
Designed by Eero Saarinen in 1956, In his purist approach to design, Finnish-born Eero Saarinen sought out the essential idea and reduced it to the most effective structural solution.. "I wanted to clear up the slum of legs." In his pedestal collection, which includes a dining, coffee and side table, Saarinen realized his ideal of formal unity: "Every significant piece of furniture has a holistic structure." Winner of the 1969 Museum of Modern Art Award.
The Tulip chair was designed by Eero Saarinen in 1955 and 1956 for the Knoll company of New York City. It was designed primarily as a chair to match the complementary dining table. The chair has the smooth lines of modernism and was experimental with materials for its time. The chair is considered a classic of industrial design.
The chair is often considered "space age" for its futuristic use of curves and artificial materials.

Sketches and Studies
Publisher Description
They were not boys, but, for the most part, well advanced towards maturity; and, having wrought out their own means of education, were little inclined to neglect the opportunities that had been won at so much cost. They knew the value of time, and had a sense of the responsibilities of their position. Their first scholar--the present Professor Stowe--has long since established his rank among the first scholars of the country. It could have been no easy task to hold successful rivalry with students so much in earnest as these were.

Haulix recently featured the words of Charlie Wolf in their latest guest blog, where he discusses the importance of your location as a musician. Having experienced growing up in Los Angeles, biggest city for the music industry, he offers insight on his perspective on the opporunities available for musician, in comparison to other great cities that might not be on the radar. Check out his interesting read here
"If you're in a band and you're really serious about growing your audience, one of the biggest things you can do (aside from writing good music) is PROMOTE YOUR SHOW! Legitimately promoting your show with hard work and smart work can be time-consuming and very challenging, not to mention you're sacrificing some of your money and blood, sweat and tears to make it happen."
Shadow of Whales wrote an amazing article on how musicians can promote their local concert for Haulix. Click here to check it out.
The Official Blog of Haulix is an amazing source to look towards when you want to learn more about the music business. That's exactly what went down when they took the time to interview Jeff Michaels for their blog. Check out their chat over on their website!

If you have been anywhere close to the internet recently, you have heard about the Grammys. Our very own Katie Garibaldi has written a guest piece for Haulix about the Grammys, the Recording Academy, and her own experiences. She has even exposed the little known fact that local artists can get involved with the Recording Academy. Read more here.

Myrtle Beach Shows - Atlantic Stage Company
Atlantic Stage, a non-profit professional stage company began performing at the 79th Avenue Theatre in 2008. Actors perform in a simple, undecorated space known as a black box theater. The idea of a black box theatre is that any space can be converted into a performance zone. Empty warehouses, old cafes, abandoned shops. Everything surrounding the stage is black. Black walls, black seating, black floors. The stage is set in the middle of the black box. Enthusiasts remark that it is an inexpensive way to enjoy unadulterated performances where the actors and stage sets are the focus.
Quite a few of the props and costumes that you see on set are donated by loyal patrons.
The 79th Avenue Theatre stage is a thrust stage surrounded by 144 seats on three sides, each of which offers excellent unobstructed views. The first row of seats is on the floor and each row rises 18 inches respectively. Ticket prices are in the $25-30 range with discounts available for students and seniors. The lobby has a small concession area where guests can enjoy drinks and snacks before the show and during intermission.
The 2012/2013 season includes six plays. Performances are as follows:
|Sept 7-23
God of Carnage
A playground fight between two kids brings together two sets of parents to resolve the dispute. The gloves come off after all the diplomatic niceties are observed and leaves the parents liberal principles in tattered shreds.
|Nov 9-25
Two plays by Christopher Durang
Sister Mary Explains it all for You. Sister Mary explains the principals of being Catholic to a good student who is awarded cookies for correct answers. Former students show up to reveal the deep psychological trauma bestowed upon them.
The Actor's Nightmare. An accountant accidentally wanders on stage and is informed that he must replace one of the actors and finish the play.
|Dec 8-23
Holiday Memories
An eight year old's perspective of country life, friendships and family relationships, as well as loneliness and loss. A heart-warming story of making fruitcakes, decorating the Christmas tree, drinking whiskey, and angering all the relatives.
|Jan 18-Feb 3
Rabbit Hole
The Rabbit Hole explores how families deal with loss and tragedy. It is both a comedy and a drama. The play was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2007.
|March 22- Apr 7
Lend me a Tenor
World famous tenor, Tito Morelli, arrives too drunk and too late to perform his role at the gala season opener of Otello. At one point, the stage crew believes Tito to be dead. In a panic, the stage manager dresses his assistant in Morelli's costume and pushes him out on stage.
Imagine everyone's surprise when Tito revives himself and dresses for the second act of the play.
Because of the content, this play is recommended for mature audiences.
|Apr 18- 21
New Voices Playfest
New works by up and coming playwrights are featured in this play reading festival.
|Apr 26- May 12
Child's Play
Enjoy the world premier of Child's Play. Written by Kevin D. Ferguson, this play is the winner from last year's New Voices Playfest.
The storyline centers around a child therapist who is not so sure she is doing her patients any good and a young patient who has quit speaking.

Sea of Cortez
Sea of Cortez or California Bay is one of the most spectacular places on our planet. Partially the place owes its popularity to Jacques Ives Kusto, who called it "the world aquarium". It is a reserve zone that consists of several islands and unique marine ecosystem.
There are tens of sea mammals and hundreds of fish species, including the endemic ones. The sea is an important territory for whale mating, while islands of the Sea of Cortez are inhabited by rare species of birds and reptiles.
La Pas is a small town on the shores of the Cortez Sea near which a lot of the dive sites are concentrated. They are usually presented as rocks sticking out of the water, caverns and piles of stones. There are very few of corals as the water temperature doesn't allow them to develop properly. The only reef is located in Kabo Pulmo national park in Mexico.
The underwater hunting can be organized in the Sea of Cortez, though underwater weapon is prohibited. Diving is possible off the coast or from a diving boat. It is strongly advisable to use swimsuits while swimming in the warm water to avoid contact with poisonous jellyfish.
See more details and check prices for all Mexico liveaboards.
