Dozens of people have died in Nepal after monsoon rains and devastating flooding. Mercy Corps is responding with emergency aid and supplies.Donate now
EMERGENCY: Flooding in Nepal
There have been heavy seasonal monsoon rains resulting in extensive flooding and landslides in Southern Asia. In Nepal, more than 80 people have died, with dozens missing and more than 10,000 people displaced. Thirty out of 77 districts are affected.
Our team in Nepal is responding in Mahottari, a district in Nepal's Province 2 in the southeast, and on the border with Bihar state in India. We will initially distribute urgently needed items, including 500 mattresses, flashlights and mosquito nets, while working to better understand the most pressing needs of families affected by the flooding.
The context
A massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal in April 2015, just northwest of the capital of Kathmandu. It was the worst quake to strike the region in more than 80 years, killing thousands of people and injuring thousands more.
Millions of people were affected by the earthquake and the damage was devastating, toppling historic temples in Kathmandu and destroying entire rural villages. The suffering was compounded by a second major quake of 7.3 that struck less than a month later.
Hundreds of thousands of terrified people lost their homes and loved ones. And the disaster disproportionately affected poorer residents, who lived in mud and stone houses that crumbled and are in hard-to-reach areas of the mountainous terrain.
Get the facts about the quake and learn more about our response ▸
While still recovering from the earthquakes in 2015, Nepal faced another natural disaster in 2017. In August, widespread flooding from the heaviest monsoon season in over a decade ravaged the southern part of the country, affecting nearly 2 million people and displacing tens of thousands.
Get the facts about the recent flooding and learn more about our response ▸
Nepal remains one of the poorest countries in the world, and frequent natural disasters like earthquakes and floods are especially devastating to families with few resources to protect themselves and recover.
- One in four people live in poverty.
- One in three adults have a bank account — half the global average.
- Money sent home from relatives in other countries accounts for 30 percent of Nepal's GDP.
More than 40 percent of Nepal's population are between the ages of 18 and 35, and nearly half of them are unemployed. Many young people are likely to leave the country, discouraged by insufficient education and employment opportunities and lacking the confidence to play productive leadership roles in their communities. Approximately 1,500 people between 18 and 35 migrate every day in search of better opportunities.
Our work
- Emergency response: Delivered emergency supplies and cash to families affected by the April 2015 earthquake. Distributed essentials such as blankets, basic hygiene kits and water purification tablets to families affected by the August 2017 flooding. Helping families rebuild stronger, safer homes.
- Agriculture & Food: Improving incomes of smallholder farmers with the production of high-value crops like ginger, cardamom and potato.
- Economic opportunity: Increasing access to loans and savings for marginalised people in remote areas. Providing financial knowledge so people can invest in their homes and futures.
- Women & Gender: Teaching financial literacy so women can develop and expand their small businesses.
- Disaster preparedness: Training communities to identify risks, build protections against floods, and educate residents on emergency response and coordination.
- Education: Helping girls stay in school and connecting them with skills and opportunities to find jobs and start businesses

The Toaster Project (2010) chronicles Thomas Thwaites' attempt to make an electric toaster from scratch - seeking iron, copper, mica, nickel and crude oil (for the plastic case) from disused mines and other sources around Britain, attempting to process these materials at home, and finally forming them into a version of a product that can be bought for only a few dollars. This nine-month process to make a simple toaster is absurd, but perhaps so too is the massive industrial activity we pursue to achieve additional small comforts at ever lower prices. The laboriousness of producing even the most basic material from the ground up exposes the fallacy in a return to some romantic ideal of a pre-industrialised time. But at a moment in time when the effects of industry on the environment are no longer trivial even on a global scale, the throwaway toasters of today seem absurd themselves.

This is an interesting cycling trip through highly varied scenery, which starts in the coastal village of Våge.
You cycle through undeveloped areas, over flowering meadows and farm clusters, and through woodland. Large parts of the trip are along the Hardangerfjord with views of the Kvinnheradsfjella mountains and the Folgefonna glacier in the background. There are excellent views along the whole route, and it is the diversity and variation that make this route special, since you cycle on both the west, east and north sides of the island as well as right across it. You experience fjords and mountains, and the coast and inland landscapes.
Starts at the ferry quay at Våge. After about 350 metres, turn right at the roundabout on the Rv 49 road towards Hodnanes and Stord. After 4.8 km, after you have passed Uggdal church and just before Uggdal town hall, you come to a sign for Onarheim. Turn left, east towards Onarheim (13 km). Follow Uggdalsdalen valley right across Tysnesøy island.
When you have cycled a further 8 km, you come to the old thoroughfare in Uggdalsdalen, which is preserved as a cultural heritage site. There are many traces of the people who lived by the thoroughfare during ancient times. The old thoroughfare went between Uggdal and Onarheim, and it is still visible in many places. There is an information board at the gateway to the thoroughfare.
Innermost in the Uggdalsdalen valley, you start an ascent until you get to the highest point on the route by the turn-off to Singelstad. You are then at an altitude of 166 metres. This uphill stretch corresponds to a climb of 90 metres over a distance of 3.3 km.
At Onarheim church, there is a sign towards Lunde to the north (16 km). Turn left and follow the road north towards Lunde at this crossroads. After a total of 24 km, you come to Årbakka, where there is a traditional village shop where you can fill your water bottle and buy something to eat and drink. You can take a detour down to the sea and see the old Årbakka trading station and Årbakkavollen, a relic from the early Iron Age with standing stones and the remains of burial mounds. After 1.5 km, you come to a beach at Klubbavikja /Ølfarnes, where you can take a short break or a detour down to the beach. This is one of the best beaches in Tysnes with views towards Melderskin, the Folgefonna glacier and the Hardangerfjord.
You come to a crossroads 7.5 km further on, where you turn left and follow the Rv 49 west to Lundegrend and back to Våge.
The route has a total length of 43.54 km and an altitude difference of 685 metres. The highest point on the route is 166 metres, which you come to after 14 km.

Think of Nashville and you think of country music, but what if you're not a country fan? Is there anything for you to do in town? That's what we asked ourselves when we were planning a weekend to visit a friend who happened to be in town for a week or two. I don't dislike country music but I'm not a real fan, by any means, and neither hubby nor our friend are into it. My concerns rose when I discovered that the weekend we planned to visit coincided with the CMAs. It was the biggest week of the year for the city and music fans, with concerts going on everywhere.
As it happens, we had a wonderful weekend, and with some careful avoidance of the downtown area and with the exception of a visit to Cooter's and Willie Nelson's Place (come on!), the only clue to a country music presence was the plethora of girls in what I refer to as Nashville uniform, ie. shorts and cowboy boots.
Lane Motor Museum. Car museums are nothing new and if you're into American muscle cars, you're better off driving up across the state line to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. What makes the Lane Motor Museum different is that it is home to the largest collection of European cars in the US. All the classic British cars I grew up seeing at motor rallies are here, lovingly preserved and in full working condition.
|A sporty little number
Each vehicle in the collection is accompanied by its individual story, which adds to the personality of the cars, while placing each one in a broader historical and economic context.
I am by no means a car fanatic. I can't tell you a thing about the inner workings of an engine. I did however, grow up in a family that still appreciates the look of a classic car. So whether you are, like me, someone who admires the shapes and paint job, or, like my husband, someone who works in the auto industry and so has a deeper appreciation of the entire manufacturing process, the Lane Motor Museum is a great place to spend a few hours.
The Lane Motor Museum is located at 702 Murfreesboro Pike in Nashville. For opening hours and further details, visit their website.

Whether trying to floss every day, or convincing service techs to more accurately log their drive-time, changing behavior is hard.
Ask any field service executive, and they'd likely agree that inspiring change takes great effort, and an even greater supply of coffee. In fact, McKinsey reports a full 70% of change management initiatives fail to meet their objectives altogether.
But as devices, software, social media channels, and apps like Uber continue to heighten customer expectations, the need for change is only going to get larger.
Surely, the reasons we need to evolve in field service are fairly obvious. The how is a bit more tricky.
Lucky for us, there's a ready-baked, time tested formula for ensuring enterprise change takes hold in the real world.
Whether you're adopting full software suite, or trying to get your dispatch managers to improve efficiency by a couple percentage points, the following principles apply.
In 1996, John P. Kotter—a New York Times best-selling author and Harvard Professor—released the first version of his best-selling book, Leading Change. In it he outlined eight comprehensive steps for achieving change in an organization.
Ever since, this has been the go-to book for the entire change management industry.
In the following paragraphs, we dive into each step, explore excerpts from Potter's works, and discuss how they can be applied in field service.
Step #1: Create a Sense of Urgency
Old habits die hard. If professionals at your organization don't feel the heat, they might not feel inspired to change. Without a sense of urgency and underlying purpose for change, the change you desire likely won't take hold.
That being said, creating urgency through fear will likely backfire. With this urgency may come organizational failures, like low customer satisfaction levels, the impetus must be tied to a positive outcome if you wish for success.
"A sense of urgency is a powerful tool for anyone wanting to win in a turbulent world that will only continue to move faster."
Tip for Creating Urgency: Make a Case With Numbers
Sometimes your dispatch managers, or field technicians are too wrapped up in the day-to-day operations to stop and think big picture. For example, are they aware that 76% of field service providers are struggling to achieve revenue growth? Create urgency by translating the most important industry trends, or organizational challenges into cold, hard numbers.
Step #2: Build a Guiding Coalition
While urgency is a key driver of change, your guiding coalition will be the brains that makes the change reality. The guiding coalition must be made up of professionals within your organization that have significant influence.
While team members from every level of the organization must be involved, the group should convey a commanding reputation that forces the entire organization to take this change seriously.
"A volunteer army needs a coalition of effective people—born of its own ranks—to guide it, coordinate it, and communicate its activities."
Who Should Be a Part of Your Field Service Coalition?
- A top technician, or engineer that can best represent the field team
- Dispatch, or operations leader
- IT transformation, or IT leader
- Business development or line-of-business leader
The list above is by no means comprehensive. The point is pulling together a collaborative team from all walks of field service life.
Step #3: Form a Strategic Vision and Initiatives
Whether adopting new software, testing out social media as a means of communicating with customers, or training call center representatives, rolling out tactics before delivering a strategic vision is a big mistake. Putting "how" before "why" will simply frustrate everyone involved.
Instead, develop a vision and specific initiatives that can act as a North Star. This isn't about why you care, it's about why everyone else should care.
"This is about bringing senior teams together and challenging them to think and communicate differently about a 'North Star' for their organizations. What we call The Big Opportunity statement is a compelling, aspirational catalyst. It aligns your team around who they want to become together, and prompts others to raise their hands to help make it happen."
Sample Field Service "North Star" Big Opportunity Statements
- Delivering greater human value to customers in an increasingly technological time
- Empathizing with customer frustration by increasing service resolution speed
- The path to profit starts by treating employees like customers
Step #4: Enlist a Volunteer Army
With your guiding coalition assembled, and your strategic vision built out, it's time to recruit some ground troops. No matter your change, you'll need to influence the inner workings of your culture in order to gain momentum.
"This group rarely includes all of the most senior people because some of them just won't buy in, at least at first. But in the most successful cases, the coalition is always powerful—in terms of formal titles, information and expertise, reputations and relationships, and the capacity for leadership. Individuals alone, no matter how competent or charismatic, never have all the assets needed to overcome tradition and inertia."
Tip for Getting Your People to Join Your Cause
People are the bedrock of change. No matter how many committees you pull together, or flyers, emails, or even videos you make to promote your new initiative, at some point you'll have to recruit people one by one. That's where the real work of change happens, and gains momentum.
Step #5: Enable Action by Removing Barriers
With any field service change initiative, you'll inevitably run into roadblocks and barriers. Let's say your software has bugs, or your new customer relationship training isn't easily accessible, or your engineers don't have everything they need in the field in order to be successful. Will they still adopt the change you're asking for? Probably not.
Whether large, small, human, technical, or organizational in nature, removing barriers to change is a key component of ensuring your change takes hold.
"Removing barriers such as inefficient processes and hierarchies provides the freedom necessary to work across silos and generate real impact."
Communication Is Key
Unlike many industries, mobility is a key component of field service, and teams are often scattered. With dispatch, field operations, call center professionals, and IT sometimes working in separate locations, communication can be challenging. You need direct lines of communication, and a method for logging and resolving barriers if your change is going to take hold.
Step #6: Generate Short-term Wins
When you have nothing to show for, it's easy for detractors and naysayers to claim your program isn't working. That's why as early on in the process as possible, you must evangelize short-term wins. Demonstrate to the whole team that the long-term vision is paying off fast.
"Wins are the molecules of results. They must be recognized, collected and communicated—early and often—to track progress and energize volunteers to persist."
Highlight the Customer to Demonstrate Wins in Service
Improving speed of service, customer retention, and satisfaction are all essential to field service success. But documenting these wins can be challenging. Ensure that your program documents the positive impact it has on the end customer. Greater customer satisfaction is ultimately something everyone from senior leadership to field engineer can rally around.
Step #7: Sustain Acceleration
The hardest part about change is often how long it takes. While you might have been assembling a coalition and working your tail off to get a new software or program off the ground, internal employees might not see the bottom half of that iceberg.
You must be dedicated to pushing through after you gain quick wins. Focus on long-term vision in order to sustain acceleration.
"Press harder after the first successes. Your increasing credibility can improve systems, structures and policies. Be relentless with initiating change after change until the vision is a reality."
Focus on Replicating Success in Field Service
Once you've demonstrated quick wins, don't reinvent the wheel. Look for more examples of the same, and build a start to build a repository of best practices. Replicate your success and focus on really pushing the pace of change.
Step #8: Institute Change
Even after changing deep seated habits, they have a tendency of returning. Whether it's forgetting to put the cap on the toothpaste, or forgetting to log service miles, the old habits are rattling around in our brains somewhere.
"Articulate the connections between the new behaviors and organizational success, making sure they continue until they become strong enough to replace old habits. If you can't communicate the vision to someone in 5 minutes or less and get a reaction that signifies both understanding and interest, you are not done."
Solidifying Change in Service
Ensuring long-term adoption requires a continued celebration of success, and an ongoing show of leadership. Once a new process, software, or culture is in place, don't stop meeting as a coalition. Meet quarterly, or even monthly to check in on adoption, and seek ways to improve your process. Secondly, be sure you have a lifeline to those closest to the change. If your field engineers are supposed to be communicating in a new fashion with customers, or dispatch is supposed to logging route details in a new software - how will you know it's a success or failure?
There simply must be measurement.

Nothing gets wasted around here
Wait isn't Hairspray that musical comedy remake of some musical comedy?000 still doesn't know either who John Waters is.I could wikipedia it but it sounds like some celeb or something and I don't look most of those up either for the simple reason of that not knowing them causes them to be less famous, which theoretically reduces the amount of celebrities, which also solves the problem of not knowing them, in a way. AKA the "some problems really do go away if you ignore them" solution.Plus, if "Hairspray" is really that comedy movie I'm thinking of ... well it was okay for a movie of that type, I guess but why should I care who directed it? (assuming he's the director) Same for "Serial Mom" isn't that another comedy movie? I don't know the other titles though.
As a neuroscientist I have to disagree with the perception that anyone is doing mathematical modeling of cognitive intelligence, yet; intelligence as an economist defines it, yes, but economists are worlds away from actual cognition.
Evil doesn't work without good people. Good people will do the most repugnant, nasty shit for what they think are "the right reasons"

enchiridion[ en-kahy-rid-ee-uh n, -ki- ]SEE DEFINITION OF enchiridion
Synonyms for enchiridion
Was there, then, any objection to his works: the Enchiridion, the Adagia?
Enchiridion militis Christiani, printed in Lucubratiunculae, 1503.
His Enchiridion ethicum and Enchiridion metaphysicum were the text books of the school.
The above is an abridged translation from the Enchiridion, ed.
The Enchiridion was the result, of which more will be said by and by.
But the Enchiridion was not the only work published by Erasmus during this interval.
The Enchiridion was, in truth, a re-echo of the very key-note of Colets faith.
The Enchiridion was submitted to the judgment of Vitrarius, and obtained his approval.
The Enchiridion is a summary of theoretical and applied Stoicism.
A copy of the Enchiridion of Epictetus fell into our hands, and after studying it faithfully, we rejected Stoicism.

elearningjoy…I loved your site, fabulous.
Barbara he is my hero! Him and Bob Hare…. Yea, just because there are the majority that have swallowed the pap and the lies that we were taught as kids "it takes two to fight" and "there are two (valid) sides to every story" and "there is good deep down in everyone, if you treat them nice, they will be nice back"
Oh,yea, back on a rant! LOL Sorry!
I think the new DSM V is like my husband used to say "A camel is a horse designed by a committee" LOL
I came "out of the closet" a while back and quit posting under a "blog name" and identified myself. I've carried the shame of my son being a murderer and a psychopath for way too long, so I'm no longer "hiding" behind that shame.
Charles has been a wonderful spiritual mentor to me and I have so much appreciation for his support during the time I was in hiding from the hit man my son sent to kill me. (an ex cell mate of his) My faith is stronger than ever, and part of that is thanks to Charles' support. He also let me know about "Time's Up" and I get the new articles sent to me when they are published.
In exchange I tried to educate Charles about psychopaths. He was so sweet and caring he thought ANY one could be "rehabilitated" not knowing that Psychopaths are hard wired and unreachable with any kind of intervention in adulthood.
My mission on Family arrested is to help families of these psychopathic offenders recognize that they must separate themselves from these abusive individuals who are NOT going to change and not spend their in most cases limited energy and resources trying to be "supportive" hoping in vain that they will change.
I have written for LF for several years. One of the contributors of Time's UP, Charles Moncrief is a friend of mine. That site belongs to Donna Andersen, though, not to me. I just started a small blog to help the families of criminals to find closure and let go of the personality disordered spouses and adult children it i s http://www.familyarrested.com you go have a look if you'd like. I also just blog about whatever touches my mind or heart, but with so many sites telling family members of criminals to keep on "supporting" them and apparently none tellilng them to get the heck away from these career criminals, I figured there was a need so I'm trying to fill that need. I love your blog and am trying to find time to read it all. good job.
Wildninga I happened on your blog while I was doing some research for my own blog. I am the mother of a career criminal and murderer who is incarcerated in Texas. He comes up for parole every 3-4 years and I have hired an attorney to with the family of his victim PROTEST HIS PAROLE release. I would very much like your permission to link to your blog on mine as I think your blog is very much aimed at the same sort of victims. thanks joyce alexander, .

Your welcome. And thank you for the affirmation. I kinda figured I had better mention my sons age. I couldn't bear any possible backlash from the audience…lol…if you get a chance listen to Sinead O'Conner's song called "Three Babies". I promise, its as if she was singing my life at a certain point in our lives. Be forewarned, it's a tear jerker for real! I wish you the best and continued success.

Thank you so much for your reply to my post in re: to the Mogul Mothers article. I don't have the tools to help my son at this point other than the fact I printed out the article and mailed it to him this morning. He is a grown man himself and a whopping 30 years old. I continue to write to him and will for as long as I have use of my hands. Beyond that, I am open to any suggestions you have to offer. I truly appreciate your input. I just want to give you a great big hug! My eyes are gurgling up with tears. Please know that you are appreciated and your insight and knowledge are truly valued on this end.

I wanted to thank you for the article Mogul Mothers, Suppressed Sons. It brought such clarity to my life as I am a daughter of those mothers and have observed her relationship with my 6 brothers and now she's got my son wrapped around her madness. I seperated myself from this situation 6 months ago for the umpteenth time because its such a toxic relationship all the way around. I observed 3 divorces, and 2 sometimes (I say sometimes because when she's not around these couples get along perfectly fine) miserable marriages due to her lack of concern for there privacy. Its like she's jealous of my sister-n-laws/any females they may be involved with including me. Its an ugly cycle. I tried and I tried over a span of 20 years to work through her inconceivable ways to no avail. I quit! She wins! Game over!
Thanks for telling us about the Save Saeed shirts on The Underground. Are you in Washington?

I wanted to thank you for posting the article about son and mother who are enmeshed. I recently broke up with my boyfriend who was enmeshed with his mom. It has been a very difficult time, as i am still in love with him. It just became intolerable for me; your article described so well what is like for the partner. It also helped me to better understand what was really going on. I feel so badly for these men, because they are truly unhappy and they are denied of basic human rights. I am also so shocked by how narcissistic these women are.
Thank you again for this wonderful article. It helped me tremendously ss i am navigating the post break up time.

My toddler and I made Papa this super cute Handprint Father's Day Card. Dads are sure to love how creative and fun it is!
How to make the handprint fish card:
- Fold a piece of blue construction paper or cardstock in half.
- Pick the colors you would like to use for your fish (you may use just one if you'd like).
- If using more than one color: paint the face, stripes on the tail, and the body all at once – then press the hand down on the center of the card.
- Paint a fingertip white to make the bubbles.
- When dry, draw on the face & seaweed.
- Write Happy Father's Day on the front.
- On the inside, print or write in one of the poems found under the poems-handprints label.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Pineapple and Banana Recipe
Summer Side Dish
A perfect summer side dish with a South American flair that goes great with anything you put on the grill. I found this recipe in Cuisine at Home cooking magazine (one of my favorites) that was served with their Grilled Pork with Chimichurri Sauce.
I wasn't sure how sweet potatoes and pineapple would work together but I am happy to tell you they got along just fine and were delicious. On a hot summer night, they were the cooling influence to a hot and spicy Chimichurri sauce.
Couldn't be easier. Here's how to make them at your house. The next day we served the leftover pork with the leftover sweet potatoes for a great meal. A photo is at the end of the blog.
1-pound sweet potatoes
1 banana
½ cup fresh pineapple
¼ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
Salt and pepper to taste
How To Prepare At Home
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes in to 1-inch cubes. One pound of potatoes should yield about 3 cups.
Peel the banana and dice the pineapple.
Add the potato to a pot filled with cold water and bring to a boil. Always start with cold water.
Never add potatoes to water already boiling.
Add some salt and cook until fork tender. Takes 10 to 12 minutes.
When the potatoes are done, drain them and add them back to the pot. Heat the potatoes over medium high heat for a couple of minutes to dry them out a bit.
When done, add them to a bowl for mashing.
Add the banana, pineapple, orange juice, and honey to the bowl and mash to your desired consistency. Be sure to not over mash them. You want them a little bit chunky.
Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.

In an old city bar
That's never too far
From the places that gather
The dreams that have been In the safety of night
With its old neon light
It beckons to strangers
And they always come in And the snow it was falling
Neon was calling
The music was low
And the night Christmas Eve And here was the danger
That even with strangers
Inside of this night
It's easier to believe Then the door opened wide
And a child came inside
That no one in the bar
Had seen there before And he asked did we know
That outside in the snow
That someone was lost
Standing outside our door Then the bartender gazed
Through the smoke and the haze
Through the window and ice
To that corner streetlight Where standing alone
By a broken pay phone
Was a girl, the child said
Could no longer get home And the snow it was falling
Neon was calling
Bartender turned and said, "Not that I care
But how would you know this?"
The child said, "I've noticed
If one could be home, they'd be already there" Then the bartender came out, from behind the bar
And in all of his life, was never that far
And he did something else that he thought no one saw
When he took all the cash from the register drawer Then he followed the child to the girl across the street
And we watched from the bar as they started to speak
Then he called for a cab then he said, "J.F.K."
Put the girl in the cab and the cab drove away
And we saw in his hand, that the cash was all gone
From the light that she had wished upon If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last By helpin' a neighbour
Even a stranger
To know who needs help
You need only just ask Then he looked for the child
But the child wasn't there
Just the wind and the snow
Waltzing dreams through the air So he walked back inside
Somehow different, I think
For the rest of the night
No one paid for a drink And the cynics will say
That some neighbourhood kid
Wandered in on some bums
In the world where they hid But they weren't there
So they couldn't see
By an old neon star
On that night, Christmas Eve When the snow it was falling
And neon was calling
In case you should wonder
In case you should care Why we on our own
Never went home?
On that night of all nights
We were already there

[Some of the All-Blacks players are pictured above.]
"By tapping into such a rich vein of knowledge and experience as will be available to them during this week, they can only improve as coaches. This won't be the sort of trip where they'll be on the sidelines observing how people work, this will be a real opportunity for them to get inside the heads of top coaches and to discuss different aspects of the game and coaching."
If there's one thing I've enjoyed about not having a full-time job this past year (other than having lots of time to spend with my kids) it's having the opportunity to learn from other coaches.
Last season, I spent five days at the University of Kansas studying Coach Self's techniques with his staff. I spent another week with Coach Eustachy and his staff at Southern Miss, then four days at Western Illinois with Coach Derek Thomas.
I watched shoot-arounds with Arizona State with Coach Sendek, attended several of Coach Randy Bennett's practices at St. Mary's, and almost a game a night in the Bay area either at Cal, Stanford, St. Mary's, or USF .
But it wasn't just college teams. I met with high school teams all over Northern California, talking with their coaches and observing their practices.
Every stop was like a new classroom as I had the chance to learn from each group of coaches. There wasn't a single time that I didn't walk away with something valuable -- a nugget that I could apply down the line.
And that's in addition to all of the phone conversations I've had every day with other coaches from the D-League to the NFL to colleges from Seton Hall to Santa Clara.
Since I've been in coaching my entire life, I don't know how it is in other professions -- marketing, accounting, whatever -- but for me, one of the best things about coaching is sharing -- exchanging information, discussing what's worked and what hasn't, etc. It's the social aspect of coaching that makes it unique and it's one reason guys who leave coaching often come back.

In her typically down-to-Earth style Sophie Monk didn't hold back with HuffPost Australia's Editor-at-Large Lisa Wilkinson during their Facebook Live chat on Monday.
Wilkinson grilled her on all the rumours and headlines around her new relationship with publican Stu Laundy who she met through the most recent season of 'The Bachelorette'.
"It was a massive risk," Monk said, worrying the whole experience would backfire on her, "I thought Australia was going to hate me".
"I'm known as being funny and silly, no one wants to see a serious side of someone and I'm emotional in it and a lot of the guys I was like, 'Oh my god I'd never date them'... it was pretty stressful.
"It's so weird, but my whole life's not normal anyway. I've never really had normality since I was a teenager. I've never had a normal life, I've never had a normal job."
Not shying away from any questions Monk talked at length about her relationship with Laundy, which has made several -- not always entirely correct -- headlines. From a shock pregnancy to breaking up, Monk and Laundy have been filling up the tabloids as fans of the show scrutinised even the tiniest hints of body language.
"At the end of the day you just need someone that makes you laugh and happy," Monk said, "I know some of the other guys might have been more on paper good for me but chemistry is everything.
"I really wanted to think with my head but I just couldn't help it, you've got to follow your heart."
Monk's star is on the climb but she revealed it took time to get to where she is after returning from Los Angeles three years ago she lost everything.
"A friend of mine ripped me off, but ignorance -- law is not fair -- so I've built everything back up now on my own so I'm more grateful for it. I think you have to lose it all, have that down to enjoy the high as well."
Taking viewer questions, Monk admitted she was ready to take a break from the world of reality TV.
"I think I'm done with [reality shows]... I'll do my own travel show, reality style. I really loved the experience but I think I'm done now."
Monk said her next venture would hopefully be producing her own travel show with her best friend where they'd break down the realities of social media.
"It's ridiculous being famous and social media nowadays. We all fake it. I order a bottle of Veuve (Cliquot), take a photo and take it back and get a cheaper bottle just to look good for social media," Monk told Wilkinson.
"Everyone does it," she said shaking her head. "Don't lie."

Most folks take on one big project at a time, but I have had a couple of big ones being held off in the wings due to things outside of my control -- like finding the people who can actually do to work for us and coming up with a time to make it happen.
As it turns out, the intersection of yard, backyard and inside redo of flooring throughout the entire house are occurring RIGHT now. Of course, I said yes to it all ---
There are daily ups and downs, like rain or high winds...
all the cable service being cut off accidentally...
things that make an appearance only after they are dug up....
Like enough rocks to create a rock garden,
or just how the 50 years of previous owner leave their choices under the carpeting.
But, all is rolling along -- and it is terribly exciting!
(there will be pictures to follow)
Art happenings do not go away with all the 'house' happenings, so I wanted to get the word out about a couple of these as well.
First, If visiting Paducah during April or May this year you can find a small exhibit of my some of my favorite landscape quilts at the Freight House.
A wonderful new dining experience here in town.
The Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railway Office and Freight House, simply known as the Paducah Freight House, is a historic railroad freight depot located in the southern portion of downtown Paducah, Kentucky. 330 S 3rd St - Paducah, KY 42003
|Next, up is taking place during Quilt Week.
Join me and several others at Ephemera of Paducah...
Then, in early May my on-line workshop
Shaping Up with Fast-Piece Applique is scheduled to begin May 6th!
There will be more as things settle...
Hope to see and chat with many of you soon!

Well, not so much for me. No. The merry ol' month of May has so far, been one of loss and death. My sweet little black cat (Pepper) was killed late on May 5th. Probably hit by someone driving home who had made merry on this festive holiday known to Mexicans as Cinco de Mayo. But I don't know that for sure, all I know for sure is that early on May 6, my neighbor had come to my door with the very sad news, I could see it on her face, she just felt awful. I had been in the shower and didn't hear her knocking. There I stood in my towel as she told me there was a black cat near her car, so time was of the essence. I hurriedly wrapped on my robe and went out as quietly as I could, to see if the cat in question was indeed mine, before Kyle woke up, because Wednesday is trash day here.
Oh no! There was my little cat, sprawled on the pavement just next to the bumper of my neighbor's car. At first, I was strangely unaffected by what I saw, that is until I reached down to pick her up. I won't go into details, all I will say is that the moment I touched her lifeless little body I started to cry, no I sobbed. After quickly scooping her up, I carried her to our back gate, which was of course, locked! So I had to put her down and then quietly tiptoe through the house to the back door so I could unlock the gate. I didn't want to wake up Kyle, I didn't want him to see Pepper like that. I took her to the back wall, laid her down and found my shovel. With tears streaming down my freshly showered face, I began to dig behind the breath of heaven bush near our back wall and our swing. In my somewhat panicked state, it seemed like the best spot for her in our garden. It's not a spot that would be disturbed. I gently laid her lifeless body in the quickly dug grave, by now my sweaty face was no doubt streaked with dirt as I wiped away my tears between full shovels of dirt. I told her I was so sorry, I don't really know why. I guess I blamed myself, since I had put her out the night before.
For some reason, I hesitated as I hefted her napping form into my arms and petted her warm fur. Then I opened the door and set her onto the porch. Then I put her sister, Tiger out too. Little did I know that would be the LAST time I would ever see her bright green half asleep eyes looking at me. I still wonder if I would be writing about this sad tale if I had even for one moment, just sat down and petted her a little longer, or if I had given into my momentary pang of weakness and let her stay in for the night.

Hastoe aims to provide good quality services that meet the needs of residents and promote sustainability. Services are susceptible to random failure and from time to time things go wrong. When something goes wrong it is reasonable to wait for it to be repaired or rectified. Claims for Compensation will only be considered if the length of wait is unreasonably long or the loss causes unreasonable inconvenience. The target for responding to each stage of the Compensation procedure is 21 days from formal notice that the claimant wishes the claim to proceed.Definitions
The Compensation Policy and Procedure will apply when:
All properties require repairs and improvements from time to time and some inconvenience is unavoidable. The degree of disruption will vary depending on the type of work undertaken and the occupier's ability and willingness to put up with it. Hastoe acknowledges that there is a stage beyond which some form of compensation is appropriate. Hastoe considers each claim for compensation on its merits. There is no right to compensation and claims do not always result in the offer of a payment.Key Points of Policy
Claims will normally be made in writing to the regional office. If a claim is made by telephone, or in person, it will be confirmed in writing and action to respond to the claim will only start when a signed and dated copy of the letter is returned to the office. Hastoe will arrange assistance with audio, signing, interpreting or any other special needs, provided advance notice is given.
Claims must be raised within a reasonable time scale. Hastoe will not normally investigate a claim if it is about something the claimant knew about for more than six months before contacting the Association.
The key criteria for claiming compensation are:
Where residents are in arrears compensation payments will normally be made direct to their rent or service charge accounts.Appeals
Claims for compensation will first be directed to the person responsible for the area of work that is the subject of the claim. This is most likely to be the Area Housing Manager or Maintenance Surveyor. If the claimant is not satisfied with the response he or she can ask for the claim to be reviewed by the Regional Housing Manager, the Maintenance Manger or the Manager responsible for the area of work that is the subject of the claim.
Anyone dissatisfied with Hastoe's response to his or her claim may appeal to the Director responsible for the service that is the subject of the claim. Appeals should be made in writing. If, having received the Director's response, they are still not satisfied they may appeal to the Board who will appoint a panel of two Board members and the Chief Executive, or such other people as the committee considers appropriate, to consider the appeal. If the complainant is not satisfied with the panel's response he or she may then contact the Independent Housing Ombudsman by post at Norman House, 105 – 109 The Strand, London WC2R 0AA or by email through www.ihos.org.ukMonitoring
The Director of Operations will report annually to the Management Committee the number of claims for compensation received and their outcome.Equality and Diversity
Hastoe will take all possible steps to provide equal opportunities for all people. We are opposed to discrimination on any grounds including race, religion, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, age or other unjustifiable criteria.

a new decade12/31/2010 01:27:00 PM
This is my last post of 2010. Something that is more personal compared to my usual blog post. But first, an outfit shot :D Zara navy ple...
Apart from that, yesterday, as an attempt to clean my laptop, i need to open my old photo folders on the drive. It's funny of how particular photos can evoke certain emotion. The mixed feeling when you remember about "the good old days". Whether you like it or not, time flies and people change. It's sad when people you know become people you knew. It's a tough process. Sometimes i wonder "do i ask too much?" and "what am i in your eyes?" but what is life without harsh things going on? Boring. Maybe my subconscious mind beg that i need to find a way to make things as what it was, but it's not that easy.

Beautiful outfit! I really love your bright colored top! And your post really makes me think about the experiences I had in 2010. Especially the part about people you know becoming people you knew. It wasn't easy for me and I cried almost everyday and still occasionally do. But it's hard to forget someone who you trust to mistreat you so badly for no reason. But I'll try to forgive.

The zombie apocalypse is coming. Oh yes — it's true. Just look around. The signs are everywhere. We are a nation entranced by zombies, as evidenced by the popularity of AMC's hit series The Walking Dead.
And you think you're golden because you have a zombie survival kit chock full of torch making materials, bottled water, and a wood chipper. But do you have the most critical weapon needed to fight zombies and protect your family? That's right — we're talking about term life insurance.
You see, a term life insurance policy is indestructible to zombies. No matter what happens to you in a zombie apocalypse, the life insurance company will still pay a benefit to your family. Of course, we're assuming the company itself has not been taken over by zombies, in which case, you're out of luck. But we digress.
Term life insurance policies do have some limitations on the payment of the death benefit when a claim is filed. But mostly those limitations are themselves limited, as such:
- Suicide Exclusion – Life insurance companies will not pay a death benefit for suicide in the first two years of the policy.
- Contestability Period – Life insurance companies have the right to contest a death claim in the first two years of the policy. Mostly the company will investigate to make sure there were no material omissions or misrepresentations on your application. In other words, if you lied or didn't disclose something important (like cancer or heart problems for example), the company may not pay.
Hmmm — no mention of zombies. We're going to go out on a limb (pun intended) and say you'll be covered in a zombie apocalypse.
So continue to stockpile cans of Spam and nose plugs until the fateful day comes. And when it does, go out there and fight the good fight knowing your life insurance company has your back!

Blogging gets tougher and tougher, yet, I suspect, more necessary as time goes on. In my mind, I store up things to say, and the post gets long, but it's got to be that way for me.
It's been a weird week after dozens of weird weeks, each one uniquely terrible. The past week was less horrific and somewhat more satisfying than others, since I finally had the chance to go to court on Monday, January 5. THANKFULLY, I was not alone on the bench: a solid bunch of Brindi was there all day, and though some are too shy to go public, I'll give first names: Linda, Richard, Maxine, Phil, Kelly, and Michelle, and I hope I didn't forget anybody. Being the first working day since Christmas, it was tough to be there. Several others tried, but couldn't find the right courthouse. I attribute this to the architecture of the Supreme Court building, a prime example of anonymous 70s brutalism, is anything but prominent, despite its waterfront location.
As I think about it, the stress just keeps mounting, and writing isn't easy. I'm grinding my teeth again, a lot, while asleep and awake; haven't done that in years. I have the shakes a lot, for no apparent reason, and I'm still not sleeping much. My chest hurts, sharp pains, even as I write; I'm sure it's anxiety, not a heart problem. Crying and sobbing? A daily activity. My cats, my only breathing companions, sense the stress; they have taken to planting themselves right and left of me as I write in bed, which I have to do to avoid more painful tension in my neck and back.
Of course, when the day in court began, I was exhausted, having had another computer crash at 1 am the night before, which meant not even a minute of sleep. Praying as I sped down the highway, I managed to get there on time despite nearly skidding into a snow-filled ditch, twice.
Yay, I thought as I drove, no more delays! Little did I know my limbo would take on a whole new dimension of anxiety. Ever since the case was scheduled, I tried to keep my mind off the outcome, and it worked mostly. But it was a very intense day, and my heart was pounding and tears were already on board when it was time for the judge to speak. By then it was around 3 pm, and the lack of sleep had started hitting home; I was coming apart at the seams under the strain. Listening to the proceedings, especially the remarks of the city's young legal counsel, Mr. Persaud, made me re-live the pain and horror I experienced since July, when the two animal control officers showed up without warning and took Brindi away. I wasn't prepared for that impact (how could I be?). I lost track of how many Hail Mary's I said to myself; St. Francis and St. Jude were also big addressees.
So in many ways, I didn't want to know the results, but then again, it was a disappointment not to get any, and confusing that no indication was given of when a ruling will be made known..
It was not a closed session, and reporters were allowed in the courtroom, but I am told I should not discuss too many details. A few basic facts will be of interest to readers, however. For instance, right off, the city got the judge to throw out the assessment of Brindi by Silvia Jay we submitted. It cost a lot of money and time to get that court order. But I imagine the Mr. Persaud did not want it presented, since it speaks favor of sparing Brindi's life and returning her to me.
Fortunately, the judge denied his further request to reject a transcript of an online interview of the HRM Animal Services manager Andrea Macdonald. Only one sentence in it is important to the case, namely, when she says seizures of dogs are always followed by a thorough investigation before a euthanization order is decided on. This was clearly not the case with Brindi, and nobody ever explained why.
The judge also refused to reject a chart of by-law prosecution cases related to dogs between 2007 and 2008 that we submitted, using publicly accessible information. I had painstakingly updated and completed that chart over the weekend, but the new version was not submitted. You can see a version of it here that I painstakingly updated and completed in time for court; there was no opportunity to submit it, sadly. Ditto for the petitions. By then the number of signatures was nearly 4,000, with some strongly worded comments from around the world.
As the day went on, however, things seemed to take on a good momentum. My lawyer, Blair Mitchell, really did his homework, and then some; he worked all through the holidays to prepare a 23-page brief. I felt so lucky and grateful to have him on my side. SO MUCH WORK went into it, so many months. We had help from so many people, too, including my sister Nancy, Joan Sinden, and an animal rights group from Dalhousie. It was not easy to follow all the legalese; Blair kept warning me it would be boring. Nothing about it is boring to me, it's about my dog after all. In fact I think I understood most of it, though I could never repeat the words. I knew he must have been doing well, when halfway through, people sitting with me who didn't expect to be able to understand a word suddenly began sitting up and taking notes.
I guess it makes sense that the judge said he was going to delay his ruling, given that it might set a precedent. But it was disappointing all the same - not to have a date - and that made it so hard to get up and leave the room, let alone speak to the reporters waiting outside. I just wanted to sit down and bawl. It's a good thing there were people there to help me through it. I bawled a little later, of course, on the seventh floor, and they patiently waited for me to get it together and help me leave the building. On the drive home, bumper to bumper all the way in a sludgy mist, I really thought we'd get the decision in a few days. But now I hesitate to make any plans each day, with it hanging over my head.
Before leaving the building, we asked the city's counsel once again if I could be allowed to visit Brindi. Answer: a flat no. And something about being determined to fight to the end. They should realize by now that I'm matching their determination all the way. I don't have a $2.4 million budget like they do, but I have some pretty strong weapons, thanks to Brindi's Angels - persistent campaigners located from here to Lister, BC - and the entire Brindi Nation, which keeps growing. It seems that long before Monday, the city of Halifax's call center (902 490 4000) stopped counting the calls about Brindi. I also understand that the mayor's staff was specially briefed on how to handle the calls that get through. (Heather Anderson of DAISY in Calgary has yet to get the mayor on the phone, even after two dozen calls.)
That's how many people care enough to make phone calls, even long distance. It's amazing! People from here are Paypal donations coming in from Australia and Bulgaria. Brindi supporters live in several countries on every single continent on the earth, except perhaps Antarctica, and that's only because penguins can't use keyboards with their flippers. But we're working on that.
I have complained a long time about the Nova Scotia SPCA, who are keeping Brindi in the pound they run in their Metro Shelter - apparently in decent health, according to Silvia Jay's impression. (Brindi is overdue for a check-up, however). I suppose this makes some loyal SPCA members, many of whom also support Brindi, feel uncomfortable. It makes me uncomfortable too, especially since I was once a volunteer for similar organizations. And so, after months of pleading, being diplomatic, I thought it was a disgrace to discover lies and more lies. For a charity, honesty ought to be paramount.
But I know the SPCA is feeling the pinch as well because the lengthy disclaimer about Brindi posted on its website since August now says that a clause in its HRM contract requires it to keep all cases like hers confidential. Poppykosh. I have a full copy of that contract and it contains no such clause. If it did, why would somebody from the SPCA be telling people that Brindi is a big favorite at the shelter? I've heard it from several sources, who found this an important step, and perhaps it is. But at this late date, my only thought is: "Of course she is a favorite! She's a great dog, that's the whole point!!!"
It must be true that many, if not most, of the shelter staff who work there day in and day out are there because they care about dogs. So why do they not fight for her life along with me, instead of banning me? Have they never seen the contract? After they turn a deaf ear to my pleas for help, won't allow visits, and call the cops on me, then say such things to others, how do they think I feel? It's as if they are holding Brindi hostage, and having fun with her at my expense. Hello, she's MY FAVORITE! I am her rightful owner, and I'd really like to be able to enjoy her myself. GIVE HER BACK, and please stop lying to everybody. It's not doing any good.
On Wednesday, Tom Young, on News 95.7 based in New Brunswick, interviewed me. Counting the months, he asked how many times I've seen Brindi since July 24. He was dumbfounded when I said "none". When I explained the ban, he couldn't believe it. "Why did they send three cops to remove you from the building? D-do you threaten them? Are you a threat?" I have no idea. If anybody there feels threatened, they should think how the dogs feel, how Brindi feels, how I feel!! And if they do feel threatened, it's because of their own decisions, not mine.
I am only doing what anybody who loves their dog would do. I'm not doing it because I can afford to; I certainly can't! I'm doing it because I know she'd do the same for me. Dogs don't abandon their people. Recently, a fisherman in New Brunswick got caught in a storm, and his dog swam frantically behind his boat for three hours, instead of going back to shore to save itself. By the time help finally came, the dog was near death from exhaustion. Its owner was more relieved for its sake than for his own.
This is why I am asking people to write to the SPCA now, to ask for two things: let me have visits to Brindi, and finally, do something to help me get her back home!
I am weary of this fight, heaven knows, but I am not going to give up. It needs to be fought, for Brindi's sake, for my sake, and for the sake of all the dogs in this city, whose owners should not have to be faced with the decision of whether to fight, and all the horror I'm going through. It's for that reason alone that it was so important the media turned up at court. Some got there early and stayed all day - like Jackie Foster at CTV, who wanted to interview me weeks ago, but didn't get permission. I managed to see her excellent report that night, and Global TV, but missed the CBC, which I heard was also very good. I know of three newspaper articles as well, and suddenly a few new blogs turned up as well.
I have to confess however, a few glaring absences struck me a few days later. I never thought of it before, but it would have been good if somebody asked the city a few key questions, starting with:
- Where are the photos of all the terrible bloody injuries Brindi supposedly viciously inflicted on other dogs?
This really interests me, that nobody noticed the lack of visual evidence. Grisly images are hot - so where are they? Where is the actual proof that Brindi caused a serious injury?
Similarly, few have bothered to ask, especially compared to the plentitude of other dogs that bit dogs AND people, without incurring either euthanization or a muzzle,
- Exactly why did they issue Brind a muzzle order?
- Why was there no investigation after seizure, before the euthanization order was issued?
These are just a few key questions. The last is worth a Pulitzer prize; I for one would give anything to know the answer.
As for the muzzle, it seems to have been an arbitrary choice, the result of coincidence, if not an opportunistic hoax. I'm serious. The record shows that the order came about as a concession to another dog owner who wanted to make sure I would pay her inflated vet bill (which included a $70 general exam of her dog, because it was a new patient, according to her. In retrospect, I should have not paid that part of the bill). I faced a $222 fine. Without telling me, she begged the AC officer not to issue me a fine so I could afford to pay her bill. Presumably to accommodate her wishes, he upped the ante to a muzzle. I was stunned, since he had already told me on his first visit that at worst, he might come back with a fine. If he hadn't said so, she would never have asked him not to. Mind you: this was the second report. He never intended to issue a muzzle. He'd have to muzzle dozens of dogs in HRM just to be a bit consistent, and that would cause a huge furor. At the same time - he knew that I was planning to challenge the muzzle order the first chance I got, once I had worked to get Brindi's recall as perfect as possible, and had a fence in place.
So never mind that a muzzled dog makes people afraid, and their fear thus makes the dog afraid too - great choice, for a rescue dog. Never mind that my dog was never a problem during 8 weeks of obedience classes with dozens of dogs around. Never mind that I offered to build a fence - it was part of my plans already.
The question is, why would he do it? Maybe because in Halifax, under A-300, a muzzle order is all it takes to declare a dog "dangerous"? In the absence of any criteria for muzzles, what a great way to eliminate as many dogs as possible (and as an HRM lawyer once said, "Euthanization is the goal."). Just pick a dog, any dog; slap a muzzle on it for any reason - and presto, it's dangerous! If you're an ex-cop, say, ex-military police, what a dream job - you get to give the orders, and nobody can stop you. As an added bonus, after that, you can use the slightest incident as grounds to have it kiilled. No worries that you'll be stopped by the SPCA, an authority higher than the city obligated to protect dogs from cruelty; heck, they're on the same payroll as you are. What a temptation that is, in a job where you have more power than your bosses. Must be a thrill for somebody who used to take orders all the time.
Under the law, the muzzle order is permanent, unless the owner pays to go to court and dispute it, and who would do that? Me, actually!!
From my horrified reaction, and the questions I asked him, he may have guessed I intended to challenge the order. And I certainly did, once my house was finished and I improved Brindi's recall responses. No wonder he claimed it wasn't his decision, and kept telling me not to bother calling his boss, the one he said was behind the order. It's interesting that she, not he, signed the euthanization order later - contrary to law. And she's never laid eyes on Brind, as far as I know.
Certainly, neither he nor any other animal control officer ever witnessed Brindi being aggressive to other dogs, or anybody else. Everything hinges on unconfirmed statements, which were revised more than once by the owners and the officer involved before the case went to court. Do I sound defensive? Well, I've never disputed the facts, even many that were never actually proven. What I want is to be treated fairly and my dog to be treated fairly as well. I've done all I can to show that I am responsible and concerned.
Another question came to mind as well.
Why has no one quoted the many letters I posted five months ago - from the mail carrier, the vet, the groomer, the kennel owner, etc. Without them (and a few other facts), it's very tempting to sensationalize the story. Mind you, I'm not complaining - I'm grateful for all the coverage! But with dogs, sensationalism ought to be avoided as much as possible; it only incites fear. As much as they make great headlines, the words "aggressive dog" and "attack" instantly polarize readers. So they demand further explanation: what kind of "attack"?"Aggressive" according to whom?
It seems to me we all deserve a break from fear, and among public health threats, dogs barely make the stats. As I've said before, in 2007, only 2 Canadians died from dog-related injuries, versus 36 who died from lighting strikes. Joan Sinden noted recently that Sports Illustrated is doing its part to dispel the fear-nurturing myths about dogs, especially so-called pit bulls, a non-existent breed subjected to laws that cost millions to pass, yet do little to increase public safety and cause needless slaughter.
I thought about posting a list of about 17 persistent myths about Brindi, to debunk them, as they are rampant. I'm still debating that. I'd like to focus instead on the positive things happening, like all the people out there working so hard to save her. And how fantastic it was to hear from so many people that night, like my local city councilor, David Hendsbee, now the deputy mayor, who emailed me to say he hopes I win. He copied it to Andrea Macdonald, and if I recall correctly, Persaud, so I don't believe I'm violating privacy to mention it here.
Even more fantastic, a few very kind people have turned up to help me fix the plumbing, even in this bitter cold. How cool is that? I can't wait to take a shower in my own house again.

Les Brasseurs de Gayant
In France last summer I was urged by my father-in-law to try some local beers which I thoroughly enjoyed.
On my return to the UK I looked up the brewery 'Les Brasseurs de Gayant' who base their know-how on tradition and their efficiency on a policy of sustained innovation. Passion for their craft leads them to favour quality over quantity, always in the pursuit of authenticity and new taste sensations. So, I shipped some samples.
This resulted in a tasting – the panel consisted of 8 beer enthusiasts (5 male and 3 female) who were all asked to mark the beers based on general quality and value for money. When totting up the results there were four stand-out beers which Martinez is now shipping as their first UK beer agency.
Now available online, these beers are:
4.5%, 75cl bottles
Unfiltered seasoned wheat beer with a fruity and acidulous flavour. This is a beer that undergoes two successive processes of top fermentation. The use of wheat results in a product with an excellent head and an opalescent patina. This beer is acidulous, troubled, refreshing, spiced, to be consumed chilled and preferably in thick-rimmed glass. Some connoisseurs prefer to add a slice of lemon. Its exceptional quality garnered it the "World Selection" gold medal in Paris in 1994.
La Goudale
7.2%, 33cl bottles
Blond old-style beer brewed in the region during the Middle Ages, Goudale is a lager beer of top fermentation. Its light taste of special malts, flavored with Flemish hops and aromas from top fermentation, give Goudale all of its character and balance. It is golden, dense, tasty and long in the mouth.
St Landelin Blonde
5.9%, 75cl bottles
Top fermentation beer brewed according to the tradition of abbey beers: water, special malts, English-style hops, spices such as coriander and bitter orange rind, and naturally the skill of the master brewer. A beer with a fruity flavour, well-rounded body and a delicate aroma. It is a light beer, thanks to its long lager storage period.
La Divine
8.5%, 33cl bottles
La Divine de St Landelin is a high density beer brought to us by high fermentation with specially selected yeasts. After a prolonged storage period the beer is packaged in a traditional swing-top cap. La Divine de St Landelin has fruity, woody and caramel aromas as well as a certain bitterness persistent upon the palate. Its smooth and delicate taste can be discovered throughout your tasting.

Packed to the hilt with living narratives, scholarly research, and problem-solution scenarios, Queer Kids: The Challenges and Promise for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youth examines the unique challenges faced by today's homosexual young adults. You'll learn what modern-day queer kids do to cope, survive, and find understanding in a world riddled with homophobic intolerance.
Queer Kids is a lens of clarity that will help the average straight adult--and maybe even the average gay adult--see things from a kid's point of view. Its detail-oriented, well-wrought chapters will provide you with literally hundreds of stories of young people who are trying to define themselves sexually and emotionally in a society of criss-crossing judgment, stereotyping, anger, and expectation. Aimed at three target groups--counselors, parents, and youth--this book introduces you to a variety of interesting kids, offers you a look at the process of coming out, and helps you grasp the experience of queer identification. Specifically, you'll read about:
- queer kids and their families and peers
- the medical/health care profession's impact on queer kids
- the teachers and counselors of gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth
- how to alleviate harrassment, abuse, withdrawal, and loneliness
- the effects of familial denial, prejudiced counselors, and standoffish gay adults
Being a kid is tough--but being a queer kid can be even tougher. Fortunately, Queer Kids is available for students, ministers, teachers, youth- and health-care workers, and especially the friends and families of teens who are working through the personal turbulence that too often accompanies sexual and emotional definition. Guided by its upfront approach and practical resource list of written, computer, and telephone aids, you'll see that a solution is not as distant as you think. Read it, and relearn what it means to be a kid again.

Oh. My. God.
MyWedding.Com have asked over 1000 engaged or recently married women to complete their biannual Cost of Love survey, revealing the average cost of weddings – and to say they're at an all-time high would be an understatement!
Australian couples are currently spending an average of $90,128 to tie the knot, double the average in the last decade and up four per cent on the last two years.
While so many people are probably sitting looking at their screens with their jaws on the ground, you might also be surprised to find out that that figure is 75 per cent of what the average Australian couple's income is. Not only that, but it's $30,000 more than the average personal income in Australia.
Apparently, brides are spending on average $2,535 on a wedding dress with the survey also finding that 58 per cent were likely to get Botox pre-wedding than those who took part in the last survey.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission also looked into how much people are spending on their weddings and their result was a third of what MyWedding.Com found, however, it seems ASIC used data from 2012 so it may be a bit off. Check out their infographic to see what people spend their money on:
So, it looks like you'll probably be spending between $30,000 and $90,000 on your big day!
