Style Competition – Win a Limited Edition Necklace
Style Doctors is ten years old this year and as one of the longest running personal shopper and personal stylist companies in the UK we are teaming up with talented designers and brands to bring you some great prizes over the next few weeks.
This week we've teamed-up with talented jewellery designer Joanne from Artique Boutique and you can win one of her limited edition necklaces by entering below.
Joannes's background is as a fine artist – painting atmospheric images of nature. She studied fine art at Falmouth College of Arts and went on to have a 25 year career exhibiting at venues such as The Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court Palace, The National Trust and various London galleries. She was also fortunate to receive awards from The Mail on Sunday and The British Watercolour Society. Joanne never imagined she would ever do anything other than paint but somehow her passion for colour, texture, fashion and style lead her into the realm of jewellery design as well.
'I am also totally inspired by the jewellery materials themselves – gemstones, shells, feathers, ribbons and threads. Everyday I delight in the raw materials that sit in my studio. I love to let my imagination wander and pick out little colour stories that weave from one item to another. Colours that speak of the forest, in deep and verdant tones, or perhaps exotic tales of birds and their fanciful feathers – iridescent and exquisite. Every piece has a story to tell, and every customer becomes a part of that story, woven together through the simple act of wearing'.
This gorgeous, sleek and elegant silver and gold leaf necklace that we're giving away by Joanne is just the thing for making a statement.
Ideal for those who love to dress up but with a dash of nonconformity! This black silver and gold 'mixed metal' necklace is modern, chic and opulent. It features a gold plated branch charm and two metal leaf pendants hanging on a black oxidised sterling silver chain. There is also a chain dangle, finished with a gold plated bead for extra drama and movement.
We think that the contrast between the matt black silver and the satin gold is fantastic – very opulent, rich and striking. The mixed metals look is a popular and growing trend right now, and set to be even bigger for next year. So stay ahead of the crowd with this lovely gold and silver necklace!
'I sincerely hope that my jewellery is imbued with my love, joy and delight for it, and my greatest wish is that it goes on to inspire, uplift and delight you whenever you wear it. I honestly want you to feel truly fabulous and feminine in your Artique Boutique Jewellery!'
Simply start your sentence with 'I'd style this necklace with….'
The winner will be announced on the 23rd of October.
Good luck!

The Stories of Toy Story 1-4
I want to petition a new letter in the movie rating system: T for tissue. I needed a few in the last few minutes of Toy Story 4, because the ending went straight to my heart. Each Toy Story showcases the role a toy has to children, and perspective of the toys' own purpose. Toy

Good Morning, SHINE girls!
If you haven't noticed already, our reading is heading into a new direction this week. Not sure about you, but I cannot WAIT to get back to Samuel! I have been missing our friend, David. A lot. (No offense, Paul.)
So, I just have a couple of things to share that happened to me this weekend.
Really, really cool stuff.
Okay, I was getting dressed for church yesterday morning. As I was putting on my face (my make-up), I was praying very fervently about some things in my life. The kids and my sweet Lem were in the kitchen, and it was just me and God in my little bathroom.
It was a really intimate moment that God and I were having. I was pouring my heart out to him as I was applying my mascara.
I love that I serve a God that I can talk to while applying mascara. How cool is that?
When I finished my heart to heart with the Lord, I went to go and make up my bed. The room was quiet, because I had turned the radio down to do my talking to God.
I heard the Holy Spirit whisper something to me. He told me to turn the radio on. God had a little message for me.
Really? For me? Moi??
Okay, I'll obey.
I turned on the radio, and a song was just starting to play. It was this:

A visiting Australian family who came to the aid of a collapsed woman at an Auckland waterfront restaurant returned to their car soon after to discover it had been broken into and thousands of dollars worth of belongings stolen.
Melbourne man Robert Verdouw, his wife Wendy and three of their adult children, one of whom is based in Auckland, were enjoying a final meal together before four of the family flew home on Sunday, September 25.
Nearby, a middle-aged woman collapsed after suffering chest pains, badly grazing her face as she fell.
As those on the scene waited for an ambulance, Wendy Verdouw held the woman's hand, Robert Verdouw said.
"This lady, she just wouldn't let go of Wendy's hand. I think she was comforted to know there was someone there. We do wonder how she's doing."
While they had no regrets at stopping to help, the family were devastated to return to Verdouw's daughter's car and discover it had been broken into.
The break-in occurred on a street near Silo Park between 12.30pm and 1.45pm, he said.
Several thousand dollars worth of belongings vanished.
"The items stolen had a monetary and sentimental value. NZ-based daughter lost a borrowed overnight bag, filled with shoes, clothing and an expensive set of cosmetics. The son lost a small day pack, which included his passport, phone, books, but also his diary of the past five years.
"Our [younger] daughter had her work laptop and hard drive stolen."
Verdouw's younger daughter had copped a stern response from her employer, who asked her to pay a AU$1000 ($1053) downpayment for the laptop until insurance could be sorted, he said.
"She was just beside herself when we found out. Her first thought was 'I'm going to lose my job'."
The family did not have travel insurance, but are checking to find out if they are covered through their credit card provider.
The break-in was reported to Auckland police, he said.
A police spokeswoman said they were investigating.
"While no items have yet been recovered we are following a positive line of enquiry."
The experience soured the end of their four-day visit, but had not put them off Auckland, which they had visited several times and held great affection for.
They also had no regrets about stopping to help the unwell woman, even though the break-in may have occurred while they were with her, Verdouw said.
"It's just one of those things you do."

Four Paws has managed to get all their dogs released. This demonstrates that the Romanian government dog catchers had acted unlawfully. Well done to all who helped Four Paws via FB and other social networking websites. Every little helped.Note that "according to several eye witnesses, at least four dogs died on the spot because of the brutal handling."
FOUR PAWS calling on Prime Minister Victor Ponta to quash the law which allows the mass killing of stray dogs - SIGN HERE
Excerpts: "Mass killing is not the answer. There are a number of options to deal with the stray dog population in a rational and humane way which will promote the welfare of both the dogs and the people at the same time. Capture, neuter and release schemes have been very effective in many countries world-wide and are endorsed by the OIE-World Organisation for Animal Health. [...] Mr. Ponta, the future fate of all stray dogs in Romania is in your hands along with Romania's international reputation. I am urging you to stop the killing law and to issue an emergency governmental decision to bring all stakeholders together to work on a national strategy for the humane management of stray dogs. This is the most effective way to keep the streets safe and to stop any further unnecessary killings."

My children have returned to their mother's and they've already started school. That leaves me alone. Of course, one can be alone and not lonely as I explained HERE. But it still sucks to not have them as close as I'd like.
Enough of Debbie Downer! (I hate when comedians break character during skits, but this one is a classic regardless. I obviously don't have an upgraded WordPress site so I can't embed video or audio. You'll have to click out to the links to see them. )
Here are some other sure things that will always lift my spirits and make me smile for the rest of the day. I hope you enjoy these too.
- So You Think You Can Dance but especially the dance routine in THIS Video starting at 19:18. It didn't get a lot of buzz or recognition at the time and I doubt it's on anyone else's list of top dances from that show, but I can watch it over and over and over again and it just makes me happy.
- THIS number from the musical Grand Hotel, with Michael Jeter and Brent Barrett, just makes me joyful, plain and simple. As a side note, Michael Jeter's personal story is uplifting as well. His Tony Award acceptance speech was incredibly moving.
- The following joke:
"When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep — not screaming, like the passengers in his car."
- Hasa Diga Eebowai (Warning! Vulgar and Offensive to some. Don't listen at work)
- Saying, "Serenity Now" or "Yada-yada-yada" or "____ Nazi"
- The Flash Mob scene from Modern Family, which led to the best line ever…
"You cheated on me with choreography!"
- The scene in the movie Dan in Real Life where the young adolescent daughter is chasing after her boyfriend whom Dan has just sent away and she shouts back to her Dad, "YOU ARE A MURDERER! OF LOVE!"
- This is really sick and totally Schadenfraude… but the getting-hit-by-a-bus scenes in Mean Girls, Lost and Nip/Tuck shown HERE
- Stumbling upon a wedding… I've accidentally witnessed weddings taking place in public several times and each time I do I'm awestruck at the creativity and deep expressions of love that I've gotten to observe as a complete stranger. Some have been cheesy and others ultra beautiful but the thing that has always stood out to me was their uniqueness.
- And then the fight started jokes:
A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband,
"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment."
The husband replies,
"Your eyesight's damn near perfect."
And then the fight started…
- Lastly and certainly not least, handwritten notes and artwork from my children posted on my refrigerator door and all over my house that look like this:

You could have Outlander shot at your home
Scotland has featured in plenty of big and small screen TV series over the past couple of years.
In particular, Edinburgh has played host to a number of film and television shoots, from cult hit Trainspotting T2, and blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War to TV shows Outlander and Clique.
However not many people know that production companies choose to film in real places rather than film studios, including restaurants, hotels, castles and even people's homes – and homeowners and businesses can get involved by registering their property as a possible film location.
Film Edinburgh is the film office for Edinburgh, East Lothian and the Scottish Borders.
They offer free advice to productions on the locations, crew and facilities that are available in the area. They have the local knowledge will save them time in setting up the shoot, and know the locations that are interested in allowing filming, plus have a location library together with the Edinburgh production guide of local crew and facilities.
A spokesman for Film Edinburgh said: 'There are many benefits to signing up to the film database. Not only do the chosen location owners get paid and get to see their home on screen, but in some cases have received careers advice about jobs in the film industry, personal signed photos of the stars – or even a new kitchen!
'One home owner agreed to a production company altering the layout of their kitchen but loved what they did so much they had it plumbed in.'
Established in 1990 as the first film office in Scotland, recently they have found locations such as Craigmillar Castle in Outlander series three and Netflix hit Outlaw King, the Signet Library hosted Outlander series three, as well as homes from season one of cult BBC3 series Clique.
The spokesman continued: 'We have extensive experience of facilitating productions, in-depth local knowledge, a vast range of locations and excellent relationships in and around the Edinburgh city region which together make Film Edinburgh a one-stop-shop for filming and production needs in the Edinburgh city region.
'Film Edinburgh acts as the first point of liaison for productions with the City of Edinburgh Council, East Lothian Council, Scottish Borders Council and Police Scotland (Edinburgh and Lothian & Borders divisions). We have the contacts if the shoot requires parking, road closures, police personnel, street furniture removal etc.'
Felicity Nixon, of Historic Environment Scotland, was delighted with the response after Craigmillar Castle appeared in Outlander.
She said: 'I'm happy to share that Craigmillar Castle visitor numbers did increase after it featured in series 3 of Outlander.
'In financial year 2015-16 we welcomed 21,271 visitors, and by 2017-18 this had increased to 30,305. Visitors are a mixture of domestic and international, and while we don't ask visitors specifically what has inspired them to visit, we do get the impression that more people are making sure to add Craigmillar to their itineraries as a result of its exposure on the screen.
'Local areas cope through careful planning – managing vehicle entrance and exit and remaining in contact with local residents. I don't personally know of anyone who has chosen to move out due to disruption.'

Turns out you have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool devotees of the Dead Bird Quiz. Both Wouter and Dennis detected my ruse, that these three pictures represented fewer than three distinct species. In fact, as Dennis correctly answered, the first two birds were both Bufflehead (A was a male, and B was a female), and the last bird a Common Goldeneye. Both species are small ducks, with the Goldeneye's wing chord ranging from 19-24cm, and the diminutive Bufflehead's merely 14-18cm.
To walk through the i.d., what we have here are three dark wings, each with some degree of white on the upper surface. Alcids (murres, dovekies, and such) have a dark wing, but the white is limited to the very tips of the secondary feathers and does not extend over the wing's upper surface. So those guys are out. That leaves the Red-necked Grebe and the small ducks (Bufflehead and Goldeneye). The Red-necked Grebe can be ruled out by the lack of a white leading edge in the crook of the elbow of the wing. RNGRs thus have two distinct white patches on the upperwing–one on the leading edge close to the body, and the other on the trailing edge farther out along the secondary feathers.
The best differentiating feature between our remaining candidates, the Bufflehead and Common Goldeneye, is size. Goldeneyes will invariably have a longer wing chord, if the measurements are taken very carefully. But if measurements are not available, then it can be a challenge to make the call between male Bufflehead and male Common Goldeneye in particular, if only the wings remain. In general, the white band on the upperwing extends a bit farther forward on the Bufflehead, but without having them side by side, that's a tough comparison to make. All the more argument for taking careful, accurate wing chord measurements; it can be the difference between an i.d. and "Unknown duck" in the database, after all.

We explore Wales's illustrious and ancient mountains.
THE WEEKEND: Spend an inspiring weekend amidst gorgeous rolling countryside and valleys, dramatic mountain ranges, breathtaking waterfalls and forests. The Brecon Beacons National Park is a haven for lovers of the outdoors at every level of exertion, from leisurely strolls along the River Usk, stopping at traditional Welsh inns along the way, to thrill-seeking activities like kayaking and potholing (the Park boasts the greatest concentration of cascades, caves and gorges in Britain). Permeated throughout is a richness of cultural heritage; dotted everywhere are ancient, Roman and medieval remains, while its historic villages and towns bear a strong community identity informed by its traditional past and way of life.
WHERE? There are plenty of inns, hotels and camping facilities, but to really get away from it all, self-catered cottages offer greater independence and privacy. Recommended is the immaculately presented Little Hare Barns, a smart barn conversion – all oak floors and original beams – just outside Crickhowell, or 4 miles west from Abergavenny on the A40. Ideal for its proximity to excellent walking routes, it sits on the hillside route to Sugar Loaf, offering an unbeatable view of the valley and Brecon Beacons that's a pleasure to wake up to.
THE FOOD: With its thriving agricultural industry, just about everywhere proudly champions the local produce. Worth a visit for delicious smoked foods is the family-run Black Mountains Smokery in Crickhowell, from irresistible salmon, through 'fishy treats' in caviar, game birds and cheeses. Stop in the chic Oak Room at the Angel Hotel, Abergavenny for lunch, where you can sample the local lamb or beef cooked simply but perfectly; its accompanying wine list is winner of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Or go for their indulgent Afternoon Tea, just named the BBC Good Food's number one Afternoon Tea in the UK.
ASK ABOUT: 2017 is Wales's Year of Legends, themed around its legends both of past and present, with a series of events, exhibitions and projects going on throughout the year. This is in addition to its calendar of festivals; the great and good of the literary world gather in Hay-on-Wye for the Hay Festival, while the Green Man is the civilised, less muddy Glastonbury. Abergavenny hosts its own food festival, while more regular events include stargazing sessions and pottery making.
AND AFTER THAT? Unmissable are the romantic ruins of Carreg Cennen castle, near the village of Trap in the west of the Park, perched on a formidable limestone crag 300ft above the river Cennen. Its earliest masonry dates to the late twelfth century, with some evidence of original prehistoric and Roman constructions beneath. Rugged and dramatic, kids will especially love it. Whisky lovers should pilgrimage to Wales's only whisky distillery, Penderyn. It's a slick operation, with efficient and fascinating tours available daily, tasty samples included. It'll be impossible to leave without taking a wee drinkable souvenir.
NEED TO KNOW: Reach Abergavenny from Paddington in 2.5 hours from £48 with the travel comparison app GoEuro (visit goeuro.co.uk). Getting around is easiest by car; the Eco Travel Network supports electric vehicle hire, (visit ecotravel
network.co.uk) and cycling routes are increasing in number and coverage, as are some bus routes between major sites.

With the release of Ubisoft's action slash RPG opus fast approaching, it's time to take another look at some of the hot demonic action awaiting us in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements. In this exclusive video courtesy of publisher/developer Ubisoft, there's plenty of great examples of how your trusty bow can help you not only snipe monsters and baddies with enchanted arrows, but also take out parts of the environment to vanquish them as well.
Throw in some double bladed knifing skills and some thrown magical bombs and you've got a monter hunting game to make the devil himself jealous. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements should appear in a puff of colored smoke on store shelves February 12.

A buddy of mine – I'll call him Mike – recently told me a story about bankruptcy that's haunted me. Mike's about my age, with a mom who lives a couple of hours away in the same house and the same the town where he and his two sisters grew up. She's been there for 50 years. Mike's mother is in her mid-70s now, having retired almost a decade ago. Her husband, Mike's father, passed away a few years back.
Ten years ago, as Mike's parents were nearing their planned retirement, something terrible happened: The economy took a nose dive. Mike's parents saw their retirement savings take a beating. It's a beating from which their portfolio never fully recovered.
Mike's parents got by, but barely. Extraordinary health care costs hit them during the final year of Mike's father's life when they were expected to shoulder exorbitant bills that Medicare wouldn't cover. In order to manage those expenses, they accrued significant debt. Mike's father passed away, but his mother was left with that mountain of debt. She was hounded relentlessly by debt collectors until she ultimately declared bankruptcy to attain relief…at 74 years old.
It's a heartbreaking story, and it's one that's increasingly common. Older Americans are filing for bankruptcy in more significant numbers than ever before, a new study reveals. Research published by four college professors using data provided by the Consumer Bankruptcy Project shows that the number of senior Americans filing for bankruptcy jumped from 1.2 per 1,000 in February 2013 to 3.6 per 1,000 by November 2016.
Hmmm…that is a 300% increase in 3 years!
There's certainly been a "graying" of the population as the huge Baby Boomer population has aged and gone on to retirement. But that alone does not explain the increase in bankruptcy filings, say the researchers. Multiple forces are at work. The researchers conclude that more seniors than ever face increased financial risk because of unmanageable health care costs, inadequate income both in retirement and before it, and reductions in their social safety networks.
In other words, precisely what happened to Mike's mother.
Folks, let's keep the same thing from happening to you. No matter where you are in your life – still accumulating wealth on your way to retirement, or in the distribution phase – there are practical strategies you can employ to keep yourself solvent and to make sure that you are protected when you face financial adversity.
Let's start at the beginning. Mike's parents suffered a big setback during the economic downturn of 2008-2009. Like many self-directed retail investors, they had adopted a "buy and hold" investment approach with a portfolio heavy skewed into equities. When the stock market tumbled badly, so did their investments. Its drawdown – the measurement of their portfolio's decline from high to low – was almost 50%. They lost nearly half their retirement savings, and a huge chunk of their net worth, during the recession. Mike's father exacerbated problems by making another classic mistake – he sold some of those equities at their lowest point then bought them back after they started coming back, suffering further losses over time.
You see, an investment strategy that emphasizes downside risk management could have really helped to minimize their losses. And diversification can be an essential component of that strategy. By diversifying their investments across different asset classes, such as domestic and international stocks, bonds, short-term investments, and others, they could have reduced the volatility in their portfolio.
An investment strategy that incorporates tactical risk triggers can also help to preserve capital. A defined risk strategy helps educated investors to eliminate decisions based on "gut instinct" -emotions and opinions; rather than facts, data and an analysis of historical market trends.
Mike's parents didn't help their situation by critically underestimating their own health care needs in retirement. As a result, they very quickly accumulated debt they could not pay back. The cost of health care in retirement is rising, and Americans are living longer than ever in retirement. Fidelity Investments says that a couple retiring at age 65 in 2018 will need $280,000 saved after tax just to cover their health care costs. Having a sound financial plan in place to pay for premiums and expenses not covered by Medicare is critical to economic well-being during retirement years.
As Mike's family has discovered, paying for long-term care is one of the most daunting challenges affecting many folks planning their retirement, especially since Medicare does not pay for long-term care.
In some cases, retirees will pay for such care out of pocket, using liquid assets or home equity. Unfortunately, this can often leave those retirees with little to nothing to pass on to their loved ones.
Medicaid planning with an experienced attorney can sometimes help retirees to reposition their assets to help become eligible for Medicaid assistance. But please understand, there are many factors to consider before doing this, including whether or not it makes sense to lose control over any such assets.
Retirees ineligible for Medicaid who don't want to spend down their assets have another option as well: long-term care insurance. Traditional long-term care insurance requires the payment of a monthly premium and pays out benefits only if the policyholder requires it; premiums are not refunded, and if long-term care isn't needed, the money is gone.
Asset-based long-term care insurance is another option that's growing in popularity. An example would be a combination insurance/long-term care policy. The advantage of such a policy is the payout of a death benefit that the policy holder's family will receive if long-term care is not needed.
The long-term care insurance market has changed dramatically in recent years as the insurance industry has recognized American's needs to pay for more health care in retirement. The industry has sought to make such insurance more palatable for more consumers with new options.
If you are considering long-term care insurance, it is crucial for you to understand what you are buying, what your coverage limits are, any exclusions, benefit triggers, and what type of care is covered. There are practical considerations to consider regarding potential rate increases over time, and any tax benefits associated with such a policy as well. These are all issues to discuss with your financial planner and attorney, preferably long before such services are necessary.
What happened to Mike's family could happen to anyone. Preparation and planning can make all the difference when it comes to your long-term care needs in retirement.
As I say every week, be vigilant and stay alert, because you deserve more.
Have a great week!

RUTLAND, Vt. – The nationally 13th-ranked Babson men's hockey team scored four second period goals and cruised to a 7-2 victory at Castleton in New England Hockey Conference action Saturday afternoon.
The Beavers improved to 13-4-2 and 8-2-2 in the NEHC, while the Spartans fell to 3-12-4 (1-9-2 NEHC).
Babson's leading scorer Nick Rosa led all players with three assists. Mike Egan and Jack Nisbet each scored twice for the Beavers, who moved to within two points of the conference lead, trailing just UMass Boston (14-5-0, 10-2-0 NEHC).
Castleton's goals were scored by senior Caleb Fizer and junior Jacob Erwin. Erwin and Matt Bloomer added the assists on Fizer's second period goal. Erwin converted on a penalty shot at 15:17 of the third period.
After a scoreless first period, Babson struck first on Matt Wiesner's 12th goal of the season at 5:05 of the middle frame. Then, five seconds after a Babson minor penalty expired, Ryan Black scored on a 2-on-1 rush with Rosa to give the Beavers a 2-0 lead at 7:31.
Egan scored his first goal on a nifty passing play on the doorstep at 10:56 of the second period. The Spartans got on the board with 2:53 remaining in the stanza after Bloomer sent a lead pass to Erwin who found Fizer in the middle before the captain snapped a shot over the glove of Beaver goalie, Matt Pompa.
Pompa made 27 saves to earn his sixth win of the campaign. Wyatt Pickrell was charged with the loss after surrendering six goals on 30 shots.
Nineteen seconds after Fizer's goal cut the deficit to two, Egan notched his second goal of the period to close the scoring in the busy 20 minutes. Babson's advantage grew to four at 2:51 of the third period on Patrick Flynn's sixth of the year.
Erwin drew a penalty shot after his breakaway attempt aided by a stretch pass from Dan Fitzgerald was squandered by a restraining foul with 4:43 remaining in regulation. With the deficit back to two and offensive zone control, the Spartans abandoned their net for an extra attacker with 2:42 remaining. Nisbet scored an empty net goal at the 18:13 mark for his first collegiate goal before converting again 17 seconds later to complete the scoring.
The Spartans will be back in action on the road for the first leg of a home-and-home series with Norwich Friday, Jan.25. Castleton will then host the Cadets on Saturday, Jan. 26. Both games are scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

For her 4th birthday, my daughter, Deianeira wanted a Barbie cake. I tried my hardest to talk her into something else.....she is only 4 after all. What about Lady bugs, or Princess' or something? Nope! So, in the end it's a "Barbie/Princess cake."
This cake did not start off well. This is actually my second attempt. The first cake, after baking it, and letting it cool down, I discovered was raw in the middle! :( So, then it was off to Hobby Lobby to buy the actual doll cake pan. At first I tried using my glass measuring bowl (which I have seen done, I just don't know the trick to making it work apparently). The doll pan actually has a rod that goes in the middle to bake it evenly. Genius!
So with the cake made, I decided to take a short cut and bought pink (strawberry) icing, and edible glitter. You are suppose to use fondant, but I hate that stuff, so I actually made this harder on myself that it should've been. But in the end she loved it anyways!!! :)

A few years ago I found copies of Ready, Set, Novel by Chris Baty, Lindsey Grant, And Tavia Stewart-Streit
(the illustrious heroes of the sacred halls of NaNoWriMo.org). This book has sat in a drawer because, well, I'm a happy pantser. This is how I work. I've mentioned this before (feel free to check out a previous post The Eternal Question). It is an absolute joy to write this way. The shocked gasp when my plots go all wibbly wobbly certainly amuses anyone around me. Thus this workbook has sat.
Recently NaNo put on a NaNoPrep webinar with four writers. Jonathan Maberry (YA horror and freelance comic book work among other things) mentioned that he uses Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook by Donald Maass as a starting point for every one of his novels.
I wandered to to Barnes and Noble this morning to take a look at Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook and found it was $20. Not too bad as an investment if you're going to plot but it wasn't in my budget this morning. And then I remembered the tome entombed in my drawer, long forgotten. I hurried home and dug out the Ready, Set, Novel workbook. What better way to start plotting for NaNo than with an officially official NaNo workbook.
The first activity is to get you used to marking up the book. There is a huge square and you have to fill it. Anything goes. Brilliant. A way to get you into the "write in this book" mindset and get random garbage out of your head, or put some inspiring quote on the page surrounded by some fancy doodling.
I'm really going to put out the effort to do this year's NaNo this way. And I do mean a lot of effort. This is so out of my skill set. I just found the "What-if" Activity. Sheesh. My brain doesn't work that way. I'm analytical. I have a hard time what-iffing things I don't want to happen and things that are simply improbable if not impossible. Yikes! At least that's followed by some internet sites that will spark some ideas.
I'll keep you posted and let you know if I freak out and abandon the Plotter Path to return to my Pantser
Predilection. Plus, I'll let you know how the book is as a whole.
Also, a reminder if you're in the Spokane region to RSVP in the Kick-off/Midnight Write-In thread if you haven't already.

Since the beginning film has always held some responsibility to project where we are as the human race.
Where we are developmentally, mentally, emotionally, societally, and aspirationally.
You can look to any period in film, and see through the lens of the movie camera what society was striving for, what they thought of themselves, what they were dealing with.
This is my favorite thing about films- that at any moment in time they are a snapshot of who we are, no matter what- and it doesn't lie.
When we see through the lens of today's films and television ( and even music) what do we see? In the past, before the internet, people looked to television and film to help guide them through the next challenge. Much like reading books could help us navigate friendships, learn resourcefulness, and understand death- movies would automatically rise to the occasion to help society get over its next hurdle.
When the breakdown of the American family occurred we saw the Courtship of Eddie's Father display the first single parent household- so we'd know what to do. When the race riots ran rampant in the 60's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner put it on the big screen and won two Oscars.
As we all attempt to navigate our somewhat dysfunctional society as of late, it seems we've lost some of those teaching films that add to Life's Instruction Handbook.
A current trial we're facing centers around Manhood.
Believe me, I was as shocked as you that this was something that had gone awry.
Seriously folks, at a recent conference where everyone in our state got together to "fix" the state of things( poverty, drugs, dropout rates, jobs)…it all came down to "if only we could remind our young boys about what manhood is."
One school of thought is that saying Be A Man to a young boy or man is currently considered one of the most damaging things that can be said.
Another is that societal expectation has become too much, and they don't know how to be men.
Needless to say since the two parent household and family dinners have become somewhat non-existent, perhaps we can look to Classic Hollywood Films to fix this manhood Issue ( It's clear we can't look to the shows/films that we have on now to get this job done.)
The 3 P's of Manhood stem from the primitive, but apparently since we're all biological animals still holds water.
While Classic Hollywood gave us an array of men who filled these roles it's important to take a look at the films our men haven't seen that could really help.
Check out the Art of Manliness… and their suggested lineup of Vintage Instructional Films to help our boys become men.

Israel Defence Army IDF shared on it official Twitter account a video showing the launching of dozens of rockets at night.
The account said the rockets were launched by Hamas in Gaza Strip and "targeted Israeli civilians last night" according to the tweet.
Following a reverse-search conducted by Verify-Sy, it turns out that this video is old and was posted on YouTube on mid-April 2018, the description of the video says it is from Syria and shows the moment the air defence units intercepted incoming US missiles that targeted the Scientific Research Center in Barzeh district of Damascus city.
Worth to mention that tension resumed between Israel and Hamas in Gaza after Israel accused Hamas of launching rockets toward the north on Monday which what Hamas denied, according to international media the rocket injured 7 Israelis but an Egyptian mediation stopped the escalation.

Why Is The Wedding Transport Checklist Important?
Being on time on your wedding day is a must. Of course, you do not want your guests to wait for you even for just a few minutes late, right? No one wants to be late, and it is a disaster to experience arriving late on the day of your wedding. As you begin looking for an American limo company located in Lauren, Minnesota, it is important that you get to know the details of the limo services that they offer. It may take you awhile to look for the limo service, consider having a checklist for you to avoid hiring the wrong limo company.
The wedding checklist transportation.
Consider having these following questions and realizations as you make your list such as;
Limos that you will need on the wedding day
This is rather optional if you want everyone to be accommodated in going to the wedding location and reception. However, if you plan to have everyone right on time, list down the people that you want to accommodate for a limo rental. In this way, you are assured that nobody is left behind.
How much will it cost and for how long you're going to keep the limo
Budgeting for a rental limo is considered as one of your priorities because you will be investing money and it is important that every expense is broken down. At the same time, ask the company as to how long you can use the rented limo. This is essential as you to avoid any extra services from the enterprise.
Special packages and offers
Although this rarely happens, there are times that some companies would offer special packages and other offers especially peak seasons. For example, springtime, wherein there are valuable discounts that you'll avail if you add it to your chosen package.
Overtime charges
Just in case you are experiencing delays in your wedding event, it would be best to ask for how much it will costs if there are happen to have an overtime.
Book in advance
As soon as you have already have chosen a limo provider, make sure that you book asap to prevent future problems from occurring on your big day.
License for hire
Always ask the details of the driver that you're going to hire such as updated license to drive. This also means that the company is liable if there are things unexpected to happen.
As mentioned, every limo company is responsible, so it would be best to ask for a public liability insurance so that you are assured of your safety as well.
Decoration for the limo
An excellent finishing touch is yet simple but very elegant to look at. That is your aim for your wedding limousine rental. Make sure your limo has window tint to keep your party cool and that you do not neglect to put up a signage, and of course, it wouldn't be a wedding limo if there are no added flowers all over it. The design of your wedding limousine is truly up to your decision as to how you're going to pull off an excellent limousine.
Expectations for the wedding
Having to prepare everything before the wedding is important that you have to check all of the things according to what you have listed on your checklist that also includes the entire wedding event.
Expectations after the wedding ceremony
After the ceremony, going to the reception is where the fun will begin for the newly wedded and the visitors as well.

More Information
Unemployment Insurance Fraud
Maintaining the integrity of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) program is important and helps ensure benefits are paid only to those who qualify for benefits under the law and employers are assessed the proper tax rate.
- Claimants commit fraud by providing false or inaccurate information to the department when filing a claim for unemployment benefits in an effort to obtain monies to which they are not entitled.
- Employers commit fraud when they provide false information to the department in an effort to obtain a lower tax rating or deliberately misclassify an employee as an independent contractor to avoid paying UI tax altogether, or when they have knowledge that a claimant is submitting or intending to submit a false claim (aiding and abetting).
Multiple detection systems are used to detect people who fail to report working and earning wages while claiming unemployment benefits.
The penalties for fraud and concealment are severe. In addition to penalties, any overpaid benefits must be repaid. Repayment methods include income tax interception, wage garnishments, property liens and payment plans.

One of the things about being busy and successful is that while achieving success can often lead to even greater success, being busy can also lead to even more busyness. The more you triumph in your leadership role, the more emboldened you may feel to take on even greater challenges. And that's an admirable thing; I'm a big proponent of people reaching for higher aspirations and leading their organizations to extraordinary achievements.
Yet with bigger ambitions come bigger levels of detail and complexity to manage – all on top of the many other accountabilities in our lives. All too often, the highly engaged and accomplished people I talk to are also privately struggling to get it all done and to fight off the stress and overwhelm that can dog them on a daily basis.
Previously in this blog series, I addressed the virtual mountain of responsibilities and deadlines we all tend to experience, and introduced the concept of accepting that you simply can't "get it all done." It is utterly counter-productive to continually convince yourself and others that you're on top of it all at work, at home and everywhere else. Conversely, what can lead you to your greatest productivity levels is a dramatically candid shift in the way you confront your obligations. It comes down to reconditioning how you obligate yourself to begin with, and how you decide what you're going to "do now" – and what you're not.
To accomplish this requires some real self-awareness and rigor as you take in – or "capture," if you will – everything you feel you need to do. And I mean all of it – including things like attention to yourself and loved ones… the stuff we tend to filter out and put off while we're busy chasing other so-called "priority" tasks. Once you take a brave embrace of all there is to get done, the next step is a highly deliberate prioritization of those things based on what matters the most to you, rather than what you think you're "supposed" to do.
Do you really need to accept that meeting request… or what if you declined because it's part of something that is low on your scale of what really matters? Imagine how freeing that might feel, and what you could do instead of taking that meeting. Do you really need to cancel that date with your loved one because you're up against a deadline… or can you delegate something that's truly less important to you and keep that commitment? Imagine what that shift in prioritization could contribute to your peace of mind. It's a very powerful thing to get honest with yourself about what you can and can't get done, and what you are – and aren't – choosing to do. The power comes from a strong and disciplined focus. We have so many day-to-day opportunities to make decisions about what we do (and don't), and it can make a remarkable difference when we begin to make these choices with a new perspective.
First, we have to shed old habits. It's not uncommon to have a running to-do list that prioritizes those urgent items linked to crisis or survival. The problem with that conventional approach is that it can position you squarely in survival mode, putting out one fire after the next. Then, by necessity, you can find yourself filtering out anything that seems less than pressing or immediate in nature. Yet these items you put off could, in fact, relate to the things that matter most to you – including your relationships with people, your wellness, and your overall happiness.
I worked with a client who had significant personal and professional motivations to learn a new language. She had acquired the online learning system she needed, but months had passed and she had marked no progress. Her frustration sparked a candid look at what was getting in her way. It became clear that while she was very dedicated to every detail of her job, often staying late and working on the weekends, she was taking only minimal time for things like exercise, social time, even sleep. Her approach to her responsibilities – treating all things work-related as a top priority, and letting other matters fall by the wayside – was producing an exhausting daily pace with very little room for anything else.
This well-regarded leader began to focus with discipline on prioritizing differently, based on what mattered most to her rather than what she had become accustomed to doing. As she moved along the learning curve of making choices every day with a new sense of deliberation about what she would do now and what she wouldn't, she began to see results. She recognized a tendency to sometimes get caught up with more doable tasks that delayed her tackling more significant undertakings, and she began to delegate those items as she focused on projects that she knew would make a real difference for her team and their customer base. As she operated with greater decisiveness and efficiency, she was able to successfully carve out time for things like rest, having more social time… and finally learning that second language. Within a matter of months, she experienced being more productive than ever before, and the sense of satisfaction that comes along with it.
Another thing she experienced was a hallmark of this practice: It produces qualitative as well as quantitative benefits. While you can certainly monetize being more productive, you can't place a dollar value on experiencing less stress and exhaustion, feeling more freedom, or having greater peace of mind. It is, as they say, priceless.
So I challenge you to stop trying to take on the world and begin concentrating on what's most important in your world. You have to work for it, but this kind of shift can make a lasting difference in the kind of life you lead, at work and beyond. There's still more to say about the process of getting there, which I'll write about next.

From the (not very) mixed-up files of LibraryLaura... If You Give a Cat a Cupcake!
First, I think Laura Numeroff's whole "If You Give a..." series is cute, funny, and great for subtly teaching kids about sequence. However, they're not my favorite for storytime groups. For whatever reason, I find that I tend to get lost in them, losing the whole "If this, than that" concept. Yet, when I saw this Decorate Your Own Cupcake worksheet from Harper Collins not only was I sold, but I decided to up the ante. Here is my cupcake bar:
From left to right: Cupcake Holders (these are made from different kinds of interesting and colorful fabrics, pre-cut to look like cupcake tin liners), Cupcakes (pre-cut felt in different colors [flavors?]), Frosting (pre-cut white cardstock), Decorations (self-adhesive jewels similar to these), Cherries (pink and red pom-poms). Back row: Tacky glue, stamping markers, and these self-adhesive magnet coins from S&S).
This is another program from my days at the Brentwood Library. It probably doesn't need to be said that I began this program by reading the book, If You Give a Cat a Cupcake by Laura Numeroff. I had convinced my department head that this If You Give a Cat a Cupcake Puppet and Props set from Kaplan Toys (also seen to the left) was crucial in making the storytime portion of this program just as good as the craft portion. This probably stemmed from my personal hang ups and squirminess with reading this book to a group. At the time, I really though this props set would help alleviate my discomfort and also help the kids keep track of the events going on in the story. But looking back, it didn't. In fact, I think if anything, it was distracting for both the kids and for me-- especially the part where you dress the puppet up in a karate suit. However, I do think it was successful overall anyway. And actually, it seemed like the kids had no trouble following the sequence of events in the book. (Just me, I guess? Hm.) In fact, at the end of the book, when I asked, "And all that happened because the cat asked for what?" the whole group very matter-of-factly answered, "A cupcake!" So I'd say yep, they got it.
Here are some of the colorful cupcake magnets and their creative designers:
I also thought I'd put out a bunch of the Decorate Your Own Cupcake worksheets as a second, quick craft. I really didn't expect them to be just as enthusiastic about this as they were about my cool cupcake bar, but they were! They wound up getting really creative-- sticking jewels and pom-pom "cherries" to those also. Here are a few examples:
I guess that's proof that you just never know what will and won't work! And speaking of working and not working...
What worked best: They loved the style of just having a bunch of cupcake related things to be creative with. If I was lazier, probably could have saved myself a lot of time and just put out the printed worksheets, the adhesive jewels, and the pom-poms, but I definitely think it was nice having a variety of different things out for them to work with. This particular group was great too, just really enthusiastic and appreciative of the whole program.
What worked least: I don't know if I'd go as far as to say anything didn't work here, but I definitely think using a book that I wasn't 100% comfortable reading to a group was a challenge for me. And it probably came through, subconsciously, as I read. Also the puppet and props set, while cute, didn't really aid in my telling of the story.
Hoping I am in the final stretch of my time out on disability now. Until next time...

Whether you itemize or use the standard deduction, here are a few tips for tax-advantaged giving.
Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the standard deduction was doubled to $12K for individuals and $24K for married couples. While some believe the increase in the standard deduction will impact giving, opportunities for tax-advantaged giving exist regardless of whether you itemize or take the standard deduction.
Watch this 2 minute video to learn about giving strategies:
If you are taking the standard deduction you might consider...
- Setting up a Donor Advised Fund (DAF): Suppose you and your spouse make annual charitable contributions of $10K — that would fall short of the $24K standard deduction for married couples. However, if you set up a $30K DAF to fund annual gifts for 3 years, you would be able to deduct the $30K in year one and continue your annual $10K gifts. In years 2 and 3 you will take the standard deduction.
If you are itemizing deductions you might consider…
- Giving gifts of appreciated assets: The contribution would cover the $24K deduction minimum for married couples ($12K for individuals) and help people limit their exposure to the capital gains tax. Also, future appreciation of the asset will be outside of your estate, rather than pumping up the value of your taxable estate.
- Donating your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA: If you are over the age of 70 ½, you are required to take a distribution of a certain percentage of your IRA each year. If you donate your distribution directly to a charity, the IRA distribution is not included in your gross income. You can donate up to $100K tax-free. An added benefit of this strategy is that lower reported income means you may be eligible for other tax benefits, like the new 20% tax deduction for pass-through income.
You should not make significant decisions based on the tax benefit alone. But you should strategize about how you can optimize your taxes based on your unique goals and priorities.
