text: There's been a lot of speculation about Faye Resnick's plastic throughout the years. As a former Playboy model and current Real Housewife, it would seem that plastic surgery is a job requirement. She's obviously had a facelift, lip injections, and plenty of Botox. But, she also had breast implants when she was younger as well as a possible nose job. This photo shows Faye Resnick looking super plastic in her cover shot for The Real Housewives.

X-Mass a short film
Apart from working as a Costume Embroiderer and Illustrator Michele Carragher has also designed and made costumes for the films of the award winning filmmaker Scott JG Flockhart, working on all his short films and music promos.
"Michele Carragher is one of the best Designers I have been lucky to work with. As a Director I arrive with a blurred image of what I want from my characters costumes, like a talented optician Michele creates a image that is truly focused and captures what I desired and much more. She is a great collaborator, a true Artist." Scott JG Flockhart.
Here is one of Scott JG Flockhart's award winning films that Michele Carragher costume designed, "X-Mass" which tells the dark comic tale of Callum a teenager who accidently brings a relative back from the dead.

text: ProFractional™ Laser The Sciton ProFractional™ Laser is an ablative laser treatment that resurfaces a small amount of skin in order to encourage rapid healing – without sacrificing on results. This is different from other laser resurfacing treatments in that the Sciton ProFractional™ Laser only resurfaces a "fraction" of the skin to generate results. The Sciton ProFractional™ Laser quickly creates micro-channels in a small part of the treatment area (up to 1,500 microns). These micro-channels prompt the body's healing process while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. As a result, increased collagen levels improve overall skin laxity and clarity while minimizing recovery time. Patients feel more comfortable during the procedure; additionally, they're happier with their recovery times, as they can resume normal activities much sooner than with traditional laser resurfacing. Conditions Treated Scars Signs of Aging Sun Damage Loose Sagging Skin To learn more about the Sciton ProFractional™ Laser or to schedule your consultation at Dermatology Associates of Plymouth Meeting, serving the Philadelphia metro area, including The Main Line, Chestnut Hill, Blue Bell, Gwynedd, and Flourtown, please fill out the form on this page or call 610.947.4322.

We are works in progress who must move forward lest we stagnate or backslide. I believe like attracts like, self-awareness is key to manifesting your destiny, and authentic intimacy is the surest path to emotional healing.
Self-exposure is courageous, creativity Godlike, and sensuality sacred and sublime. Combining these forces enables life-altering connections and it is my mission to foster those bonds...to use my strengths and talents to serve my clients, inspiring confidence, clarity, and authentic intimacy in their lives.
Whether we're connecting or misfiring, sparking or bombing, every encounter illuminates who we are and who we are not. Integrating that information is how we become our best selves, thereby attracting our best, most compatible, partners.
Dating and intimacy are complicated, for some more than others. My goal isn't to find you your life mate or coach you through a relationship. It's to help you become the best partner you can be, for your own benefit and pleasure as much as theirs. Since I believe the way to ensure great dates and genuine intimacy is to build a foundation of great dates and genuine intimacy, I coach through advisory and experiential means.
No one hits the scene with a PhD in hand, yet most people expect to master this stuff going on instinct, longing, and drive. That's like skipping law school before sitting for the bar exam!
Clients tend to be frustrated by the time they find me. They feel awkward, self-conscious, disheartened, and angry, and I get it because I've been there too. I've made (and learned from) every mistake there is, and went from fearful and flailing to excited and engaged (with life and three fabulous fiancés).
When lost in the jungle you need someone who's been there leading you out. An experienced leader and transitional partner in your journey to successful dating and intimacy.
Client Testimonial:
"I haven't been this happy for 9 years, KC, and I really believe if not for you it would have never happened. You gave me such a confidence boost and taught me that my heart could thaw one day if the right situation came along. I really believe you were [my new partner's] forerunner for me, and I am so grateful to you for that." ~BP (long-time widower in a new relationship after three months' coaching)
Hi, I'm Kristin Casey (known by friends and clients as KC),
Certified Intimacy Coach, based in Austin, Texas
I've spent my life fascinated by, and working within, the arena of physical and emotional intimacy. In 2011 I was certified as a Holistic Lifestyle Coach, and then an Intuitive Intimacy Coach in 2016. I'm a 12 year yogini, lifelong Sacred Intimate, and clean & sober addict with 22+ years in recovery. I'm also a published writer and author, quoted in magazines as diverse as Mother Jones, Forbes, and Men's Health, and an IPSA-trained Surrogate Partner with three years experience in Surrogate Partner Therapy.
Does that make me a sexpert? Well, wisdom is born of experience and of that I have plenty. At the risk of sounding like a serial dater, I've partnered with men from every walk of life: CEOs, rock stars, oil tycoons, artists, activists, capitalists, anarchists, doctors, lawyers, bankers, landscapers (well, just the one landscaper, but he was hot enough for ten men), cowboys, bad guys, good men, bad boys, and more than my share of sexy sweaty musicians (and may I say, God bless the Live Music Capitol of the World, Austin, Texas ).
I've also had two long-term, deeply loving relationships, three fiancés, eight proposals, and countless adventures on my path. In my 20s I was engaged to a world-famous musician, and spent my 40s as a luxury companion. I've had every kind of connection worth having (and some that were borderline at best), passionate, loving, playful, intense, abiding, fleeting, enriching. Male, female, conventional and non-, sensual, primal, clumsy, skilled, and all across the board.
Woven through personal experience are 25 professional years in the field of erotic arts. My 30s were partly spent in sales and Real Estate, and 40s as a professional companion. That's right, I dated for a living—a fulfilling and lucrative career providing insights on power, seduction, class, culture, and a universal truth transcending gender, age, race, and income.
We all have fear, self-doubt, loneliness, and no small amount of denial. We are hurting, hurtful, and desperate to avoid feeling vulnerable. Hesitant to state our needs, we rush to build walls or lose ourselves in our partners. We stumble, fumble, occasionally score, and could sure stand to improve on that record.
While I'm a firm believer in talk therapy, what I offer is experiential healing. It's helpful to be aware of your issues, yet self-knowledge is rarely enough. Together we'll move past the intellectual and theoretical, to a place of authentic engagement from your inherent intuitive core.
My typical client is male, aged 25-75, married or single, often recently divorced, widowed, or retired. I see many former workaholics, painfully shy and socially awkward men, late-life (unintentional) virgins and semi-recluses, as well as well-adjusted men experiencing occasional or pervasive feelings of mild to moderate disconnection. I do not see women or couples.

Body language, subtle cues, implied consent, and healthy boundaries are complex topics and choppy waters. We'll walk through a host of scenarios, using experiential skill-building and date scene role playing. Break through confusion about when and how to proceed; whether to come on strong, slow the heck down, pull back entirely, or let her take the lead. Learn how to:
The ideal way to launch your transformation is with a real-time assessment of dating strengths and weaknesses. I recommend 1-3 lunches or dinners, after which I'll provide a thorough analysis and specific input, to help smooth out your social or romantic rough edges. Highly recommended for recently divorced and widowed men, or anyone held back by shyness and inexperience.
I'll polish your online profile and communication strategies (cold approach, flirtatious reply, or kindly worded rejection) so you don't seem overbearing or wishy-washy, are neither underestimated nor overlooked. You'll gain clarity on issues of chemistry, compatibility, shared values, and the following:
Whether emotional, physical, or sexual, intimacy can make life worth living or feel absolutely terrifying (sometimes simultaneously).
My exercises address longstanding or recently acquired performance anxiety, pleasure avoidance, and sexual dysfunction. Through focusing on sensation, communication, attunement, mindfulness, and embodiment, you'll discard antiquated constructs, form new neural pathways, and get out of your head & into your body, thereby increasing your capacity for pleasurable connection.
Pacing tailored to the individual. I strongly recommend a commitment of 3 sessions or a 1-3 day intensive.
Progressive Intimacy Coaching is by far the most common type of session I do. A little dating coaching often gets thrown in as needed, on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes the client knows exactly what he needs, which skills and strategies he lacks or needs to improve on. Other times we learn as we go. It all starts with an invaluable (and mandatory) free 30 minute phone consult. I tend to intuitively know how to proceed, though the client's input is always elicited and encouraged.
Emotional disconnection is as prevalent as erectile dysfunction. I work with both to great success, as two tips of one massive iceberg. The prevalence of low confidence, body image issues, miscommunication, anxiety, stuck-ness, unreliable erections, premature ejaculation, inhibited orgasm, diminished pleasure, and insufficient experience is vast. Intimacy coaching sessions are an adventure we embark on together.
It's powerful life-changing work. And more often than not, a heady enjoyable experience.
It's easy to talk about getting "out of your head and into your body," but not easy to do without certain skills and knowledge. Advanced technique and anatomy lessons will give you a leg up in this vital area. Once you're engaging from a space of self-assurance, you'll more easily form intimate bonds that further your newfound confidence.
Please note, Sex Ed sessions are available upon completion of a progressive intimacy series, not as stand-alone sessions.
I love weekend workshops! I am occasionally available for local or travel destination workshops. Sharing chi energy with an open heart is a beautiful and blessed thing...just somewhat hard to do lacking a partner to merge said energy with.
Exceptionally challenging issues may require a slower pace and Supervising Therapist oversight. Rooted in the work of Masters and Johnson, Surrogate Partner Therapy is an adjunct modality of sex therapy designed to facilitate greater confidence, self-awareness, and capacity for intimacy. I am an IPSA trained (no longer affiliated) Surrogate Partner and adhere to a strict Code of Ethics.
My Surrogate Partner work is its own entity, not done in conjunction nor combination with any of my coaching offerings. For more information visit my SPT website. (Please note, due to a high volume of requests there is a waiting list to see me as an SP.)

Photography can be a very rewarding activity. You may be lost, however, due to an oversaturation of information. Fortunately, this article is packed with easy suggestions and insightful tips that can enhance your shots.
Snap your shots as quickly as possible! If you hesitate, you may miss the moment you are trying to capture because of your subject moving. Photography is about capturing a moment, so be fast, and don't let the moment slip away.
Keep it simple to get the best photographs. You can take great pictures without changing your color or motion settings.
If you wish to take professional pictures, you have to have a professional camera. For the best photos, look into buying a DSLR camera. Most photographers use this type of camera, and for quality photos, you should use it too.
Don't neglect the foreground of a photo in favor of the background when taking a landscape shot as this is what will be noticed first. Focusing first and foremost on the foreground of a landscape shot will help you to produce a more striking photograph with greater depth.
Practice shooting under a variety of lighting conditions, from different angles, and with each of the built-in features included in your camera. An original object is something that is not required to take a great looking picture. A good photographer is able to take a dull object and turn it into something interesting to look at, due to the skills and talent that the photographer possesses. Experiment to find a style that works for you.
Take pictures of the souvenirs you purchased when you travel. Take photos of the shop where you made the purchase, or snap the item on its own with an interesting backdrop. When you do this, you have a nice, ready-made way of sharing the story of your souvenir hunting expedition!
You should now have a clue as to what you need to do to improve your photography skills. Refer back to this article whenever you need some new ideas. Keep practicing and learning, and in time, your photographs will be works of art.

Meeting is scheduled next week
The board of enquiry of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Friday submitted recommendations for amendments to the Master Plan for Delhi (MPD) 2021, said Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta.
"The DDA authority meeting will be held on February 27 at Lieutenant-Governor's Office for acceptance of the recommendations," said Mr. Gupta.
The recommendations have been submitted after taking into account the objections and suggestions put forth by individuals, traders and residents' welfare associations after the DDA announced the proposed amendments.
The DDA had earlier proposed amendments to MPD 2021 by introducing uniform Floor Area Ratio for both commercial and residential properties. Since December, a Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee has been carrying out sealing drives here along with the civic bodies. Delhi traders have been protesting against the ongoing sealing drives since the past few weeks.

admission process, describing its current system as "unconstitutional."
The apex court on Thursday said the system which requires applicants to take an entrance exam followed by an interview before admission into the school, violates Legislative Instrument (L.I) 1296.
The L.I requires an applicant to have passed specific seven subjects during the LLB programme, be of good behavior and should hold an LLB degree in order to be considered for admission into the Ghana School of Law.
The case has been in court since 2015, following a suit filed by US-based Ghanaian Professor, Stephen Kwaku Asare, challenging the School's admission process.
He argued in the suit that, the ceiling placed on students admitted into the school is "grossly unfair," a development he said undermines national interest.
The matter stalled for months until it was revived in March 2017, after presiding judge, Justice Jones Dotse indicated the court was ready to deal with the matter.
But after three years of legal tussle, the apex court said the current admission system of the School is unconstitutional and has to be reformed forthright.
Reading the decision of the court, Justice Nasiru Sulemana Gbadegbe said the system which requires an entrance exam and interview before admission into the school are not part of the LI 1296 requirements.
The court directed the Ghana Law School to put in place a quota system for its accredited institutions namely Law faculties of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).
It, however, said its ruling will not affect the ongoing admission process for the 2017/18 academic year.
The apex court also directed the General Legal Council (GLC) to commence implementation of its ruling within the next six months.

A hat-trick of five-ones by guest Simon Stead and Dane Richard Juul was the highlight of another sparkling performance by the KBS Diamonds at Brough Park last night as they defeated bottom club Hull Vikings 53-37 in the Premier League.
The British Under-21 champion and Newcastle's long-serving Juul got off to a splendid start by defeating former Diamond Paul Thorp in the opening race, the first of six maximum heat wins recorded by the home side, and dished out the same treatment to the rest of the Vikings.
Juul went on to have his best night of the season, notching nine (paid 12), while Stead also finished on nine after coming last in his final ride.
As in recent weeks, there was solid scoring right down the Diamonds' card as every Newcastle rider had at least one win, or paid win, in his scorechart, whereas Hull relied heavily on Thorp and another former Newcastle man, Garry Stead, for the bulk of their points.
Stuart Robson was chief thrill-maker once again for the home side, sweeping round the boards from third place in heat seven to overtake Simon Cartwright and Chris Manchester, while Lee Dicken also burst through on the inside of Manchester on the last bend to snatch a point.
Craig Branney replaced Jamie Robertson in the Newcastle side after the latter's two disappointing matches against Glasgow last weekend.
Co-promoter George English said: "We decided to omit Jamie to give him time to sort himself out physically, mentally and mechanically as he has had a tough spell recently.
"Jamie has immense talent and is very much part of our future plans but we felt a change was necessary at the present time."
Ironically, shortly after being given the news of his axing, Robertson was called up to replace William Lawson in the Conference League Riders' Championship at Rye House on Saturday after the young Scot was unable to attend.
Robertson, still only 16, responded in terrific style by going one better than his bronze medal last year and finishing runner-up to home rider Barrie Evans.
Newcastle, in fact, were unlucky not to have two riders on the rostrum as Branney was involved in a run-off for third place.
All three Ultrafast Gems heat-leaders - Lawson, Branney and Robertson - were in brilliant form against Carmarthen in the second part of yesterday's action at Byker, each scoring maximum points in a 58-29 victory which lifts Newcastle into fourth place in the Conference table.
DIAMONDS: Stuart Robson 10, Richard Juul 9, Simon Stead 9, Kevin Little 8, Lee Dicken 7, William Lawson 6, Craig Branney 4.
HULL: Garry Stead 11, Paul Thorp 11, Simon Cartwright 6, Chris Manchester 5, Shaun Tacey 3, Richard Hall 1, Barrie Evens 0.
GEMS: William Lawson 15, Jamie Robertson 13, Craig Branney 12, John Branney 8, Karl Langley 4, Mike Pickering 4, Steven Jones 2.
CARMARTHEN: Ben Powell 13, Dean Felton 10, Scott Nettleship 2, Darren Hatton 2, Gordon Meakins 1, Danny Hodgson 1.

A management accountant will prepare financial reports for use by the managers in a particular business. These reports will be accurate and up to date, so the managers are able to use them to make fast decisions on the actions they should take within the business.
As the name may suggest, you would be responsible for accounting for the financial situation regarding one or more specific projects. Again your work will usually assist managers in making important financial decisions.
This role may change significantly depending on the needs and requirements of the individual employer. However it will generally involve more than one aspect of the business and will include accounting and reporting in a number of different ways. You will also typically create financial reports on a regular basis.
This is a more senior role. Whereas you might start your career as a junior accountant, a senior accountancy role will likely have you overseeing other accountants you will be responsible for. You should therefore have some experience in managing other staff as well as in taking control of costs, perhaps to do with specific projects.
This particular job title requires you to get involved in reporting. The idea is to monitor and report on the systems used in a particular business. You are also expected to provide suggestions on how to improve the existing systems.
As a chartered accountant you will be very much in demand in South Africa. Once you have passed the required exams and completed the appropriate qualifications you can become an auditor – something no other type of accountant can do. Thus you can earn more and find more work, since auditors are very much in demand.
While this can simply mean working as an accountant for an insurance broker, it can also mean producing financial reports based specifically on projects relevant to insurance companies. One or (very likely) more insurance accountants can work for a single broker or company.
These are by no means all the accountancy jobs that are available today. However they do represent a significant portion of the jobs around, and you will also notice that they do not typically represent a specific type of business. For example you could work as a senior accountant for all manner of different businesses. The one thing they would have in common is they are large enough to warrant having a senior accountant managing several other junior ones.
The good news is that wherever you see yourself working as an accountant, there is a good chance you will find accountancy jobs in that very area just when you need them.

Police have seized more than 2000 cannabis plants, drugs utensils, and illegal firearms in a series of search warrants in the South Island.
About 30 staff took part in an operation, which started two weeks ago, Inspector Dan Mattison said.
In the Nelson and Marlborough areas, about 900 cannabis plants were recovered.
Police also seized two illegal firearms, one of which was loaded, $1700 in cash, and meth and cannabis utensils.
Police executed 12 search warrants, six at residential addresses and a further six at rural locations.
One indoor growing system was found.
Separately, police visited about 50 sites on public land.
Seven people will be prosecuted, and one person received a warning.
On the West Coast, almost 1300 cannabis plants were recovered.
Ten firearms were recovered from a licensed firearms holder, and police will examine whether the licence should be revoked.
At one public plot, more than 400 plants were recovered.
"The supply of illicit drugs has a big impact on our community," Mattison said.
People are committing dishonesty crimes such as burglary to fund their habit.
"We will ensure that anyone involved in drugs is referred to the appropriate agency for help.
"I also urge anybody that has a drug or alcohol addiction to contact the Alcohol Drug Helpline on 0800 787 797."
All of the plants have been destroyed.

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin will be prime minister if the Opposition wins the next general election, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"At the moment we are not saying anything except that if the Opposition wins, the most likely prime minister will be Muhyiddin.
"But it depends on his party, whether they will elect him as president and depends on the coalition who should be the prime minister," he said at a lecture in London last week.
However, the former prime minister said that there would not be a decision on the matter now as "some people will be disappointed and that will split the party".
Dr Mahathir also spoke about the powers of the future prime minister should the Opposition win the 14th general election.
"The future prime minister will not have a free hand because in the new party (Pribumi), we have not only the president but also a chairman," he said.
Dr Mahathir, who is Pribumi chairman, said the chairman of the party would need to be consulted on government matters to ensure that the prime minister does not make decisions by himself.
"Of course, he has a cabinet. But cabinet sometimes can be so obliged to the prime minister because he appoints them, (hence) they do not put up any resistance.
"The new party (Pribumi), we make sure the power of the president will be subjected to an agreement with a group of people within the party," he said.

scared and lost
I remember feeling scared of my body. I was about 20 years old when I started having all sorts of health challenges, one after another. First it was pneumonia (not diagnosed timely because it was a flu season and many people had similar symptoms). Right after that there was a long struggle with a chronic sinus infection with dull, constant headaches. After that there was a kidney infection with outbreaks of high fever, which wasn't reacting much to multiple courses of antibiotics.
A few years were spent in a state of constant struggle and fear, expecting the next bad surprise from my body. At that time, my body was my enemy. I felt powerless while it had all the control over me. At that moment it was impossible for me to believe that I would ever look at my body as an ally. That I would understand its way of communicating, its language, its purity, its endurance.
searching for solutions
As every challenge, mine helped me to find something valuable. Because antibiotics didn't help much and I was not ready to remove one of my kidneys, I had to search for other solutions.This is how I found healing. Thankfully, there were people there ready to help. I didn't know how but their methods worked. Homeopathy, herbs and energy streaming from their hands helped me out.
I also found books that explained that any health issue that manifests, is there for a reason. I learnt that every symptom brings a message. It prompts us to dig dipper – to look at our emotions, to deal with our conflicts, to face all the unpleasant stuff in ourselves. Reading and searching for over 20 years has helped me to piece together a sequence that normally leads to a disease:
Disharmonious Belief => Negative Emotions => Disease
It all starts with a belief that in some way creates a disharmony and disrupts energy flow within the human system. Although I do not like to label any emotions as negative, but for the ease of explanation, this is what a person feels when disharmonious beliefs are present. Once these two elements are present but disregarded, the body will be forced to develop a physical condition or a symptom of some sort.
healing sequence
How can this chain be reversed? In principle through another one, a chain of healing:
Awareness => Understanding => Knowing
While awareness is the first and the most difficult step to take, it is not the end state. For example, if you, like myself, have a thyroid issue, and somebody tells you that it means that you have to speak your truth, it might raise your awareness about the possible cause of the problem. But it is not enough to resolve it, until we understand how this issue manifests in our particular life situation, how it originated and grew, how it impacted our life and how it continues to work in us.
Once we understand the issue so well that we know exactly how it works, there will be no point for our body to keep sending us the message through a symptom.
(If you'd like to understand this principle better, here is a link to a Pathwork material)
At the end of the day, what I learnt from my experience and research was that I always have been in control of what was happening with my body. I just needed information to understand the principles behind it all. I know for sure that the body was not my enemy, it just had to speak up in its own way, to bring my attention to what truly matters.
P.S. If you are looking for answers as to why you have a certain health issue, you might be interested in books by Luule Viilma and Louise Hay.

Ok so the weather forecast looked bad.. really bad all week long! And even when we were packing up the car early Saturday morning it was pouring rain here in North Haven but we were determined... or at least I was and my sweet husband is the most cooperative man around.
By the time we arrived in Stratford the rain turned to drizzle and from these photos you couldn't even tell it rained that morning. The day was a lot of fun. I met a bunch of wonderful artists as I joined the Stratford Art Guild for Art in the Alley on Stratford Day... yes, in Stratford CT. My whole family stopped to offer support and check out our display. My sister-in-law Gail hung out with me for most of the afternoon which was really nice. We were a bit away from all the action that was happening down on Main Street but I sold a painting, my art was posted on the Stratford Patch online news site... and the sun was shining.... so I would have to say..... It was a GREAT DAY!
P.S. Dean bought me a raffle ticket to win this 1965 Ford Mustang that will be raffled off in October by the Newtown Lions Club..... I hope I win!!!

Top Car Insurance Myths and Schemes
Do you think you know a lot about car insurance? Do you struggle with knowing what is true or false when talking about car insurance with family and friends? Sometimes car insurance can get confusing especially when car insurance myths are spread as truths. It is time to get to the bottom of these common myths once and for all.
Myth 1: Car Insurance Covers the Full Cost of Any Possible Disaster or Accident
Oh, if only it were so easy. There are many different types of car insurance, and each one covers different things. Your specific policy can combine many different types of insurance coverage, but achieving "full coverage" isn't as simple as calling up an insurance company and asking for the full package.
If you only purchase the minimum coverage required by your state, the only things that will be covered are usually damages to another person's car, body, and property if you hit them (damage to your own vehicle will be covered by the other party's insurance). In many states, you're also required to purchase personal injury protection, or PIP, which would cover your medical costs in the event of an accident.
If you think you are covered for every possible disaster if you purchase comprehensive coverage, think again. It is true that you will be covered by acts of nature such as hail, fire, or hitting a deer, as well as theft or vandalism, but you won't have the fullest standard protection unless you also purchase collision coverage. This type of coverage covers you if you cause damage to yourself or your own vehicle through an at-fault accident or if you are a victim of a hit and run accident.
But wait... There's more. If you purchased a new vehicle using a loan and owe more on the loan than the vehicle is worth, you'll probably want to buy gap insurance, which covers the difference in the event that your vehicle is totaled. If an uninsured motorist hits you, you're out of luck unless you have uninsured motorist coverage. Don't assume towing, roadside assistance, or rental coverage is included in your policy without checking.
Myth 2: Red Cars Cost More to Insure
If you've ever purchased car insurance before, you know that this is a myth. Why? Because car insurance companies never ask you to list your vehicle's color!
In a standard application, you'll be required to list the make, model, year, and any non-standard specifications of your vehicle, as well as provide a slew of personal information about yourself and any other persons who will regularly be driving the vehicle.
So why don't insurance companies ask about the color of your car? Insurance companies are in the business of making money, and if there was any evidence that your car's color had anything to do with how likely you were to get speeding tickets, they would definitely ask about your color when calculating your car insurance premium amount. But according to numerous studies, there's no evidence to show that red cars are pulled over by the police more often than cars of other colors. In case you're wondering, the most commonly pulled-over vehicle color is apparently...white.
If you're driving a vehicle that is expensive to repair or can reach very high speeds quickly (aka a sports car), that will certainly make your premiums rise.
If you do get pulled over and ticketed for speeding often, you can almost guarantee that your premiums will rise. But that has nothing to do with the color of the car—it just means you're not a super safe driver!
Myth 3: If I'm a Driver for a Rideshare App, My Normal Insurance Will Cover Me
Don't even think about becoming a driver for a ridesharing app before you determine the amount of rideshare insurance you will need and whether or not your insurance company will allow you to stay under your existing policy. If you're in an accident while driving for business, it is very unlikely that your insurance company will cover you under a non-commercial policy. If you're trying to make some extra money, educate and protect yourself well before you get behind the wheel.
Myth 4: Thieves Love to Steal Vehicles That Are Fast, Shiny, and Expensive
Expensive cars are usually designed to attract attention—which is exactly what would-be thieves want to avoid. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, the most commonly stolen cars in 2017 were the 1997 Honda Accord and the 1998 Honda Civic—which certainly do not qualify as sports cars!

On 10 May 2013 newly elected Banbury Labour County Councillor John Christie put forward the following motion at Cabinet, which was defeated (16 for, 30 against, 11 abstentions):
"This Council, in demonstrating its commitment to fulfilling its legal duty to advance equality of opportunity under the Equality Act 2010, will respect the use by Councillors of gender neutral and inclusive titles in addressing and referring to those who chair meetings of the Council and its committees."
John has admitted he wasn't asking for the earth but to stop the infantile barracking he and others have received when addressing the chair at meetings.
Oxfordshire County Council elections delivered a majority Conservative Council by one seat thanks to an Independent ex Labour district councillor, but the Conservative's lazy arrogance inherited from the previous administration has been severely shaken, and they can no longer assume to nod through policies without proper consultation (Proposed school bus charges being a recent example).
Yes, folks, John is suggesting – horror of horrors – that County Council uses the term 'Chair' rather than "Chairman', 'Madam Chairman' or 'Mr Chairwoman'.
New Labour Councillors report that in OCC business, when the word 'Chair' is used to address the person in the chair, Conservative councillors barrack the speaker with nonsense like "we're not furniture", and will not let them speak, and it is this that has precipitated the motion.
Conservatives wanting to continue the use of 'Chairman' often cite its irrelevance and low priority in comparison to the important and pressing business of government, but right-thinking people know that language is a powerful tool in shaping public attitudes and behaviour, and in this example limiting the ability of women and girls to compete equally in all spheres of life and have their voices heard.
As soon as Keith Mitchell took full control of the County Council in 2005, he had the term 'Chairman' enshrined in the Constitution, replacing the inclusive 'Chair/Chairperson/man/woman', which prevailed under the previous coalition with the Lib-Dems.
It was at this time that Mitchell changed the name of the "Executive' to 'Cabinet' and if we wanted to play silly games too about 'furniture' (we don't want stoop that low do we?), we could point out that 'cabinet' is the French word for toilet.
It was Keith Mitchell that made a great fuss about this in the first place. It is difficult to understand why he took time in OCC's busy schedule to bring this about. Was it a political stunt attempting to 'wind up the lefties' – something he appears to enjoy? (We remember his apparent contempt for democracy when he put up the 'False Labour' candidate in1996 at a Council election in Bloxham). Or is it some misplaced need to preserve what he thinks is the best use of the English language?
John Christie's motion was an important attempt to challenge the status quo, and developing a democratic and inclusive culture at Oxfordshire County Council.
Let's give him and other Labour Councillors our full support to press for this important cultural change.

We went to see a show in the old neighborhood not too long ago, so I took Ray to my old favorite place, and the food just didn't live up to my memory. I have been craving good shawarma ever since, then this month's edition of Food and Wine came, and here is a grilled version I can make at home! This rub/marinade could be used on almost any kind of meat, and other than the grilling time, the meal came together quickly and easily.
Grilled Lamb Shawarma (based on June 2012 Food and Wine magazine version)
For the rub:
1 head of garlic, roasted **see note
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 lemons
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Salt and pepper
1 4-5 pound leg of lamb roast
**To roast the garlic: Cut the top off the head of garlic, and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap in foil and place on grill or bake at 350 for approximately 30 minutes until garlic is brown and soft. Let cool.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of the head of garlic into a small bowl. Add olive oil, zest and juice from both lemons, paprika, cumin, coriander and cinnamon. Mash all the ingredients together with a fork until smooth. Butterfly the lamb leg roast (cut it open and lay flat), and cut several 1/2 inch slits into the fatty side. Spread the rub all over the roast. Place in a container and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, remove from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Preheat grill to medium to high heat (about 400 degrees). Generously salt and pepper the lamb roast, and place on the grill fatty side down. Grill 15-20 minutes per side, until pink in the center. Remove and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve with:
Grilled pita bread
Sliced cucumbers
Greek yogurt
Fresh dill
Red onion
Feta cheese

All I have to say is that if you are not my dad, Swain, or myself you missed one heck of a ride. The Breezer True Hilly Hundred was one heck of a course and turned out better then I could have ever imagined. And the beautiful weather we had definently didn't hurt.
The route consisted of 13 climbs, of which 4 where dirt, a few other dirt sections, and plenty of single lane country roads. And there even was a starbucks at the start, for those who are into that type of thing. It was a truly epic ride. We had a nice stop in Nashville, which was hopping with thousands of people to see the half way sprint into the gas station. My dad took the win on that one as he was able to squeeze between a person in a wheelchair, and an overweight fella in an amigo.
We had only a few hold ups with flats with Swain getting two and myself with one, which wasn't my fault at all, it was a mix of my dads and Swains fault as I see it. We were going down the coolest road, Slippery Elm Shoot and I got over the climb first and kept it rolling to the paved road just a mile or two down the road. I got all the way to the end and waited a few minutes and after thinking to myself how strong I must be, I figured something must have been up so I went back to see what was the haps. I saw Swain was fixing a flat so I stood there waiting as my dad commented on how he couldn't believe I hadn't flatted yet with the tires I had. So of course as we got rolling, I kid you not, we go not even 100 meters and KABAM! flat tire.
Well it was a great ride and I can't wait to do again. It took us 6 1/2 hours for the 170km's. We didn't kill it by any means, and we did do a bit of waiting for my dad who was like a dead dear carcuss on the side of the road with the bloating stomach, but it wasn't exactly easy with all the climbs. I can't wait to do it some more, and if anyone is interested they need to contact me. I'd love to have some company.
The next day my father and I did the hilly hundred ride, or as I like to call it, the not so hilly 50. As the ride each day is 50 miles and I only counted 4 climbs, but these climbs would be only comparable to the small climbs on my true hilly hundred ride. So for those who plan on riding the hilly hundred weekend next year, maybe you should consider taking the challenge and riding the Breezer True Hilly Hundred.
Thanks for reading,
Breeze On

Carving out time in our busy schedules to work on training with our canine comradess can be tough. If we want to see results it takes consistency, dedication and time. It's a challenge when many of us are balancing, family, work and outside interests. Training is an on-going effort we must invest in our dogs in order to keep them motivated and to stay on track. Our dogs are family members and their behaviour can dramatically impact our — and their — quality of life. After all, they add great value to our lives. So how do we fit it in and not compromise the quality of training?
Every walk can be a training session.
Our dogs need daily exercise and chances are you are taking them for at least a 20 minute walk. Here is your opportunity to take advantage of that one on one time and make some focused changes. Not only is it physical exercise for your dog (and you) it is mental exercise. Mental exercise is actually more tiring than physical exercise. We need to engage our dogs with training and mental stimulation sessions daily.
Set an intention.
Before you lace up your shoes and leash up, decide what you'd like to work on. It could be that you are working on pulling so you'd like to reinforce loose leash walking. Perhaps your dog is often distracted and your intention is to engage with them throughout the walk and reinforce when they do. Maybe your dog has reactivity issues and you are keeping your dog at a distance while reinforcing with yummy treats when they notice other dogs and keep their cool. It could be as simple as asking or waiting for a sit before crossing the street or interacting with people on the street. The scenarios are endless. Take it outside and take advantage of your walks.
Keep them close.
Far too many times I have witnessed someone walking their dog on a flexi-leash while they are talking on the phone and not realizing their dog is approaching another dog that may or may not want to interact. We need to be conscious of this and respect other dogs' space. I like to use a waist leash because I can adjust it to keep my dog close and I can keep my hands free so I can reinforce the behaviour I like with treats. I call this "connected walking". I want my dog to be checking in with me with eye contact regularly so that the many outside distractions won't have me yanked or pulled towards things.
Strengthen your bond.
Many times we slip into feeling like taking the dog for a walk is a chore. We multi-task phone calls and texting with scooping poop. Sometimes a quick walk does have the purpose of just a bathroom break, which is fine, but we have to keep in mind that committing time for training ensures our furry family members are healthy and happy. Take the time for a focused walking/training session and you will see results in terms of behaviour as well as the bond you share. You will find that your dog is connecting with you more during and after walks; throughout the whole day!
Make it fun!
Benches, concrete walls and stairs are all great opportunities to teach your dog to jump onto things, off of things and around objects. This is all stimulating for their noggins! Hand targeting or luring with treats can encourage them to explore different objects they may not naturally jump on. Get creative and you will see how much they enjoy these new training sessions with you.
So, you can see that while you don't think you have time to work on training every day, you actually do! Take that morning or evening walk and turn it into an enriching and stimulating training session that you and your pooch can benefit from on a consistent basis.

Lunch Box: Pizza sandwich; granola bar; carrot sticks
Half-day pre-K in NYC starts with 2 hourlong days with only half the class present (half the class comes in from 12:30-1:30, the other half from 1:50-2:50) and the parents staying in the room. This means that even though Dylan sort of started school last week, tomorrow is his first day bringing lunch to school.
Pizza sandwich (whole wheat english muffin, pizza sauce, mozzarella, sandwich-size pepperoni), granola bar (from Smitten Kitchen's recipe), and carrot sticks with ketchup. (Putting the dip in with the dippers instead of sending a separate container is a brilliant idea I got either from ParentHacks or The Kitchn – my Google-fu is weak at the moment.)

"I love food! I wake up in the morning and one of the first things on my mind is food, what are we going to eat for lunch? … In Italy… I like the sense of family that you have, the long summertime lunches with uncles who give you advice, the limoncello at the end of meals… Family means to help each other through difficult times, give each other a hand, as in a community. … I admire vegans… I like to eat fish once in while, but I don't eat meat anymore because animal farms are one of the main causes of the destruction of the planet."

No, not babies…
2 Dogs.
We found Rooney and Izzy at the ASH Animal rescue shelter.
Rooney's owners moved to Italy, and Izzy was found living on a rubble pile.
Sadly, Rooney was taken to the pound until the owners settled in Italy. They even organised a Pet Passport for him, but he never got to use it. For some reason, they just didn't follow through and he was left looking for a home.
Izzy was feral, living on a rubble pile. She'd had no human contact, and it took 2 years to catch her. After a while at ASH, they brought in a behavioural specialist to see what could be done about he. After 2 days of working with Izzy, they were able to get her to accept physical contact.
Its been 1.5 years since Izzy has been socialised, and she's loving every minute of it. She's like a little shadow following us wherever we go around the house, looking for a scratch.
Rooney is really cheeky and energetic. Its almost exhausting. But we've figured out that a nice long walk in the evenings tires him out enough to be able to have a quiet evening.
Pictures will come, eventually.
But for now, please head over to ASH Animal Rescue, and if you can, help them out a little.

You may or may not have noticed that I disappeared for a few days. A dear friend gave my family the huge gift of a little vacation on Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast. We packed a lot of fun, family time, relaxation and memories into those few days. It was wonderful and so greatly appreciated!
As a gift to my family and to myself, I left my computer at home so that I would not be tempted to check emails or to blog. I did it! I not only survived four days without my computer, but it was actually kind of nice! As much as I enjoy writing on my keyboard, I enjoyed immersing myself in time with my family even more. My oldest is twenty. I'm hoping that we will continue to vacation with him (and his future family) for years to come, but one never knows. It was great having all five of us together for an extended period of time. We actually took my eighteen year old niece along as well. She was a total joy – so easy going and gracious.
Some of the best times we shared together on this trip were partaking in simple pleasures – looking for seashells, burying each other in the sand, walks along the beach, riding the waves, feeding the fish and ducks leftover biscuits, watching the clouds roll in and preparing meals together in the evenings. We didn't watch the news once! Every night, we'd end the day with chocolate chip ice cream covered in Magic Shell. Yum!
I have been so blessed to be given such a loving family. Spending time with them, away from the pressures and demands of work and the troubles of this world was such a gift – priceless. I thank God for blessing me with family, friends and for the gift of time to spend making memories with them.

The Incredible, Magical Art of Writing
Famous Writers
Writers Are Artists of Real Magic That Can Change the World
Thomas Jefferson wrote a document called The Declaration of Independence and it changed the world. It says:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. [What does this mean? Watch this 1 minute video now:]
Here is what the above means (from National Treasure)
The Magic of Reading and Writing
Here is a testimonial about my writing from a famous celebrity:
Chuck Bluestein is the greatest writer ever in the history of mankind. I always tell the truth and do not take sports enhancing drugs. --Lance Armstrong
Actually I am just kidding. The above is me writing fiction. J.K. Rowling was living in the United Kingdom with her daughter on state benefits when she began to write Harry Potter. The book series is all about magic. She now has the best-selling book series in history-- selling more than 400 million copies. She also has the highest-grossing film series in history. That is real magic.
In 2008, her estimated wealth was £560 million ($798 million). In Philadelphia, the book stores would open at midnight on the first day that her books became available. They would stay open a couple of hours when they would sell out all the books they got in. She is just one example of what a writer can do.
There was a famous writer that was also a scientist. His scientific discovery was the biggest advance in science ever. Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. Before electricity there was steam power but you can never make a computer that runs on steam. You can heat, air condition, cook and run a car with electricity. Ben Franklin said about writing: "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
Most children grow up hearing fairy tales that are in books. There is a lot of magic in fairy tales. Also the great movies like Avatar and Titanic have to first be written. My younger brother and I grew up watching lots of movies on TV. When I was about 8 years old my mother would take my brother and I to the free public library every 3 weeks. If we were later than 3 weeks we would be fined for each book.
The 3 of us would be there all day and we would each leave with about 8 books. Then we would return in 3 weeks and return the books that we finished reading and renew the books that we were not finished reading. So we did a great deal of reading. My brother and mother would only read fiction books. I would only read non-fiction books like, at first, books on rocks and minerals, insects and reptiles.
Now non-fiction is about factual things whereas fiction is about things that are imagined. My mother's favorite saying was that fact is stranger than fiction. Some books or movies are a combination of both.
For example Titanic was about the facts on the Titanic ship sinking, but there was an imaginary story happening on it that made it such a great love story and movie. I saw it 6 times in the movie theater.
In the picture above is Daniel Quinn. He wrote books that teach anthropology and about how people would live before there was money. Like everyone would live in villages or tribes. They were self-sufficient and shared everything. There were no rich or poor people and the tribe shared everything, so the concept of stealing was meaningless within the tribe.
His book Ishmael won a $500,000 cash award as the best book to save the planet (see above picture). But it was a fiction book. The non-fiction was taught by a telepathic gorilla named Ishmael in the fictional story. Then he wrote 2 sequels (My Ishmael and The Story of B) with different stories that teach the same thing. I read all 3 books.
I learned about these books while at a forum for the book, The Continuum Concept by Jean Liedloff. This woman spent over 2 years living with a tribe or village in Columbia that had been raising chidren the same way for tens of thousands of years. This is now called attachment parenting and is drastically changing the way parents are bringing up children. I have an article about how Attachment Parenting Causes an Abundance of Self-Esteem.
In this Yequana village where she lived, the parents never tell the child what to do. The children there do not fight with each other and there is no generation gap between the children and the parents. The adults never grow up as we define that. The goal of the children is to play, have fun, love and be loved. The adults have the same goals. While in our society, the most successful people are the people with the most money.
Of course you can see how these 2 authors show that there used to be more important things than money and money did not exist. While in our society people have their chance to not worry and have fun while children but then they need to grow up so they can make money so they can live. Although exceptions do exist like Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton and Charles, Prince of Wales.
I had this brilliant chiropractor who had studied the bible thoroughly (note that the bible is a book that was written) and knew it well. I said something to him about the bible that when he heard it, he was in shock. He started thinking of all these examples to prove me wrong. But after thinking about it he started telling me examples of it being true.
So what did I tell him? I told him that the basic idea of the bible is that if you follow God, you will have good luck. Of course a lot of that revolved around money. In our society you can have all the best qualities but if you do not have money, then you and your children could be homeless. Daniel Quinn explains in his books that we have lots of things that these villages did not have.
But he explained that they have something that we never had. They have cradle to grave security. They live or perish as a village. They do not have a fear about what if things go wrong and no one is there to take care of them. There are still tribes and villages that exist today, some that have no knowledge about modern society. Compared to the people in the Yequana village mentioned above, we are an anti-social society. You cannot bring a homeless person home since they may rob you or kill you. Many people kill themselves and a big reason for this is that no one really cares about them.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted.
My Motivation for Writing this Article
Motivation and inspiration are a very important part of writing. J.K. Rowling had been writing since age 6 continuously. But while on a train she started thinking about Harry Potter and these characters. She was totally motivated and inspired to write this all down. I wrote an outline for this article but did not look at it once while writing up to this point. [Make sure to always look up words that you are not sure of. Otherwise it can later cause confusion]
When I looked at the outline, what I had written was much better than my outline since I am feeling it. People have said that I have a stream of consciousness style of writing. I do not want to put together words that sound nice. I like to convey ideas and theories. As far as fiction and non-fiction, I have a non-fiction article on how to prevent autism and type 1 diabetes. It has authoritative sources like the U.S. National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Lancet, webmd.com and more. But some people see the title and decide that it must be fiction. Type 1 Diabetes, Like Autism, is Preventable
So my motivation for writing this article may sound like fiction to most people due their beliefs that they acquired as children. Now since I do not read fiction, I knew virtually nothing about Emily Bronte except that she was a very famous writer and author. I prefer reading books like The Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein.
I was on Twitter and this woman, Marika, would write comments about my articles that I did not understand. I later learned that she did not read my articles but since the tweet mentioned authoritative sources, she thought that I was teaching conventional medicine. So she wanted me to learn about alternative or holistic medicine but that is what the articles were about.
So I was answering a comment of hers and feeling annoyed. But then I had this powerful feeling or experience that this woman is somehow very important to me and I must treat her as kindly as I possibly could. So we ended up emailing each other (I do not use Twitter email at all).
I was reading her blog and I totally loved her writing. As I read it, it was having a euphoric effect on me. I never read anything that had that effect on me. So when I went to sleep I hoped that while I was sleeping, I would learn more about what is going on.
When I was sleeping I was having a dream that felt different than most dreams. So anyone can easily consider what happens in a dream to be fiction. In this dream I was being recognized for great writing. I did not know who I was in the dream.
But I was saying that my writing ability came from the English writer Emily Brontë. I was saying that Emily Brontë was a much better writer than I was. I said that she was the greatest writer of our time. She was where I got my motivation to write. Also I was feeling that she was such an incredible person, that I was greatly blessed to be able to know her. Also what made this dream unique was that I was feeling an intense admiration for Emily Bronte.
So when I woke up, I had to look her up and learn about her and figure out who I could have been if this was a past life memory. So I read up on Emily Brontë. See the link under her painting above to read more about her. She wrote Wuthering Heights. The webpage above says:
In 1842, Emily accompanied Charlotte to the Héger Pensionnat in Brussels, Belgium, where they attended the girls' academy run by Constantin Héger. They planned to perfect their French and German in anticipation of opening their school. Nine of Emily's French essays survive from this period. Héger seems to have been impressed with the strength of Emily's character, and made the following assertion [read Marika's blog below and see if this sounds like her]:
She should have been a man—a great navigator. Her powerful reason would have deduced new spheres of discovery from the knowledge of the old; and her strong imperious will would never have been daunted by opposition or difficulty, never have given way but with life. She had a head for logic, and a capability of argument unusual in a man and rarer indeed in a woman... [but] impairing this gift was her stubborn tenacity of will which rendered her obtuse to all reasoning where her own wishes, or her own sense of right, was concerned.[22]
Marika can speak multiple languages which is not common among Americans. While reading more about the Brontë sisters, I read that Charlotte was the eldest sister. Also elsewhere (not sure what page it is on) I read how Charlotte totally loved and was in awe of what she had read on Emily's poems. The above says:
In the autumn of 1845, Charlotte discovered the notebooks [of Emily] and insisted that the poems be published. Emily, furious at the invasion of her privacy, at first refused,[27][28] but relented when Anne [younger sister] brought out her own manuscripts and revealed she had been writing poems in secret as well.[29]
So it was when Charlotte had read what Emily wrote that she wanted to publish something of these 3 sisters for the first time. She published a book with poems of herself, Anne and Emily. So I figured that I had been Charlotte in a past life and this woman, Marika, that I met on Twitter was Emily. Charlotte is the female version of Charles. My name Chuck is the nickname of Charles. The dream may have been when Charlotte was recognized for writing Jane Eyre, that is described as an "influential feminist text."
I do have an article about a woman walking around topless in NYC and another one about a 16 year old getting a male to female operation. So I write (email) Marika and all I mentioned about the above is that I had a dream and I ask her how she feels about Emily Brontë.
So she emails me back and said that she was kind of freaked out when I mentioned Emily Brontë. She said that I must have hacked into her computer and read what she wrote or maybe I am a super psychic. She says that when she read Jane Eyre, she thought that the book was all about her, which is totally impossible! She was kind of upset that I could guess something that is a big issue with her.
So on the next email, I explained the above to her. Note that she believes the above is just fiction, nothing more. But it does not change how I feel about her or her writing. So when Charlotte wrote the book, Jane Eyre, all that she did was to write a fictitious story all about her sister, Emily, that she adored. It was a mixture of fiction and non-fiction.
A brilliant writer of fiction who could write quickly for the entire day was L. Ron Hubbard. He later created Dianetics and Scientology with about 25 non-fiction books on the subject. This religious technology is followed by Tom Cruise and John Travolta. At first Hubbard did not believe in reincarnation but then started having different experiences with it with what he was doing helping people to remember traumatic things. This was the end of Dianetics since it only covers the present life.
I spent a year learning about Scientology many years ago. I had this woman that I loved, Liz, staying with me that I had met there. She could remember (this happens a lot in Scientology) being the famous writer D.H. Lawrence in a past life. Now if you were going to make up being a famous writer, you would not pick this guy. This Wikipedia link says:
David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct.
Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile which he called his "savage pilgrimage."[2] At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as, "The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation."
Is it possible that in a past life I wrote an "influential feminist text" in 1847 (mentioned above)? Just wait until you see my next article on Hub Pages. Actually I could not get HubPages to publish it due to its subject. So I wrote it as a guest blog article since people need to know this. It is called What Makes the Clitoris Different Than Any Other Organ (website taken down). It is the only organ that was designed exclusively for pleasure and nothing else. Also it is much bigger than people think that it is.
I have 2 articles about reincarnation with lots of scientific information. One is Is Reincarnation Possible. Another one is Experiences with Reincarnation, Past Lives and Love. Now if all this was not strange enough, I also have an article about a 12 year old in Arizona, that wrote a book that was published. The book is about reincarnation! 12 Year Old Arizona Girl, Anivarya Kumar, Has a Published Book.
Really great hub here. I believe as a writer you have to be inspirational, creative, and informative. Also, a very good story teller of course. thanks for the hub. Voted up
Your style is a bit rambling, jumping from one thing to the next, but I did pick up some interesting information about the writers you mentioned. I'm afraid I prefer to read things that are more structured but do appreciate what you've written here.

International negotiators called for a ceasefire in the Syrian civil war and a humanitarian airdrop on Friday, the first sign of progress from negotiations in Munich.
What Secretary of State John Kerry called "a pause" in the fighting is set to begin in one week, with the promise of further talks leading to a cease-fire, David Sanger reported for The New York Times. As per the agreement with Russia and the international community, food will also be air-dropped to Syrian cities that have been besieged in recent weeks by an increase of violence that caused tens of thousands to flee toward the border with Turkey.
"That is ambitious," Mr. Kerry said of the tenuous deal, according to The New York Times. "The real test is whether all the parties honor those commitments."
Several ceasefires have been attempted during almost five years of civil war in Syria, including one in 2012 that broke down within hours and another in 2014 that centered on a particularly hard-hit city. This is a stepping-stone to truce that combines immediate aid with a plan for further peace talks to develop a long-term ceasefire agreement, but the process demonstrates how Syria's fate has become subject to international power-jockeying across the Middle East, Howard LaFranchi wrote for The Christian Science Monitor:
Syria's is no average civil war. Instead, it is a complex proxy war pitting regional powers against one another and serving as an arena where world powers, chief among them the United States and Russia, are employing their militaries with differing, if not opposing, ends. And at the moment, it is Russia and its ally, the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, that appear to have the upper hand.
Moderate Syrian rebel groups worried that Russia would use terms of the deal to continue bombing their forces, since Russia will be allowed to bomb the terrorist groups Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra during the ceasefire, but they have realized the United States and Europe are unwilling to confront Russia as it presses for power in the Middle East.
"The administration does not like what the Russians are doing, but they've been set off balance by this recent escalation and they don't seem to feel there is anything they can do about it," Andrew Tabler, a Syria specialist at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told The Christian Science Monitor.
Syrians in and around Aleppo, which has taken the brunt of the recent fire, worried that Russia will use the week before the ceasefire begins to bolster the government position in the area. Russia had originally suggested a ceasefire after three weeks, but the United States and others insisted that was too long.
"Within a week everything will have been destroyed," Mohammed Najjar, a Syrian who fled his home along with tens of thousands of others during the fierce bombing last week, told The Washington Post.
The moderate, US-backed rebel factions have grown weary of US and European unwillingness to fully engage on their behalf, even as Russia throws all its military might into supporting their enemy, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"What is left of the Syrian 'moderate' opposition is deeply embittered," wrote The Christian Science Monitor correspondent Dominique Soguel. "As far as they are concerned, the US and its allies have thrown them under the bus, unwilling to give them the firepower or protection necessary to resist a resurgent Russian-backed regime now pushing into Aleppo, a critical opposition redoubt."
Moderate Syrian groups opposed to the current president welcomed the ceasefire as a means of decreasing suffering in Syria, which they had originally made a prerequisite to further negotiations, but they question whether it will last without enforcement, Liz Sly and Zakaria Zakaria reported for the Washington Post.
"We want a cease-fire and a political solution, but not just any cease-fire," said Ahmed Saoud, who leads a US-supported fighting division, according to the Post. "We need international monitoring."
