Ran outside this morning. Was 73 degrees and only a slight breeze. Did the airport loop as I call it. My garmin is dead or something. Cant figure out how to reset it to see if that will help. So just had my normal watch with splits. After the first mile it was 10 mins. Picked up the pace for the next 3.8 for a avg of 8:15 or so. Felt pretty good overall with the run.
Recovery week this week. So much shorter swim on this one. Only 1350 vs the 2200 last week. Good thing too with a century ride coming up this weekend.

You know I read posts after posts. I am willing to guess that probably a good number of you have not even played the game or it has been a good while ago. As a mom I am always intriqued how many negative comments are made..some understandable, most are emotional and a lot without merit. Now from my perspective football is a very demanding sport. It is a job for our athletes. But we have to remember that these are young men whose first priority is academics. These kids have a lot on there plates. On the other hand, the coaches have there hands full also. They have to deal with their athletes, administration, parents, and fans. Even though we all wish that we win every game, there will be some that we won't. Believe me the sun will rise in the morning. No one has to put down coaches or players. I guess you say that "this lady knows nothing". I beg to differ. I do know what the Coaches at Troy did for my son, I do know how I was treated as a parent, I do know the impact and time that each coach gives to Troy and I do know that we have some very good coaches. My son,as others had other choices (ACC and SEC) but they decided that Troy was the best for them. In other words, do not be fair weather fans..let's rejoice in winning, and let the disappointing losses go and move on. We are part of the Troy Trojans family!! Family don't give up on each other.
Go Trojans!

As I blogged yesterday here, Labour has no intention of paying the money back. DPF has come to a similar conclusion.
The only thing that needs Validating legislation is the FY 2004/2005 money Labour filched from the Treasury. The FY2005/2006 funds can be paid back this year and no questions will be asked - it is not overdue - the accounts have not been signed off yet...think of it as short term loan Michael, Helen, Pete, whoever...
However what Cullen is planning is a montrous rort. Cullen is a cunning stunt. His planned legislation is wide ranging and far reaching. He is looking to solve more problems than just the FY2004/2005 theft. He is planning to use momentum to steamroll the thicker of the smaller parties; By panicking the Greens, NZ First and others into supporting his Validating legislation. Cullen actually plans to make legal all his illegal payments in the 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 years and also make legal his planned expenditure on Pledge cards and similar expenditure going forward.
This legislation is not aimed just at Validating the earlier rorts it is aimed squarely at allowing Labour to continue to raid the Treasury for its electoral purposes, without any accountability or come back.
Labour is planning to ram all this legislation through under urgency and therefore without the usual processes of parliamentary scrutiny like select committees. Without even those checks and balances Labour will run riot.
All parties have to demand that any validating legislation applies only to the FY2004/2005. They should also demand that it is properly scrutinised by parliament. However that is secondary if the legislation applies only to FY2004/2005.

The 2nd month of Avery's life (and my second month as a mom) has been a mixed bag. Overall she cried more and was more difficult to soothe than in her first month, but she was so much more alert and aware and we were able to bond even more closely and learn a bit about each other.
We went on lots of fall walks, both in the stroller and the baby bjorn. She celebrated her first Thanksgiving and went to a pumpkin patch in preparation for her first Hallowe'en. She even went to her first bonfire.
She started having naps in the crib (as opposed to only in the bassinet or in my arms). She can even put herself to sleep sometimes. She also sleeps in now, until 8:30, which gives me an extra 2 hours in the morning that used to be spent trying to soothe her. She also doesn't mind the baby swing anymore so I can get the dishes done in the time that she is content in it.
- Sound of the vacuum
- Nursing. All. The. Time. Especially side lying in bed, which works for tired old me!
- Mommy and Mo's (that's what we've decided to call ourselves) voices and faces
- Tummy time
- Piano lullabies on YouTube (https://youtu.be/Wm15rvkifPc)
- Ceiling fan in our bedroom – she stares at it for ages, and it even calms her down we hold her under it. The blades are black against a white ceiling so I think she likes the black & white pattern.
- Car rides
- Stroller walks
- Floating in the bath with Mommy or Mo
- Walking around the kitchen in my arms in the morning while I try to make coffee and breakfast with one hand. Lots of wide eyes and smiles as she surveys our kitchen from over my shoulder.
- Being in the baby bjorn with Mo (but not with me, for some reason).
- Evenings
- Having to poop
- Getting out of the bath
- Baby massage (who doesn't like massage?!)
- Baby swings or chairs or mats or anything marketed toward newborn baby entertainment…
I'm so proud of my little bug's development and I'm loving getting to know her little personality. She is finally learning to sleep for longer stretches, too, with her first sleep "through the night" (AKA 5 hours) happening at 7 weeks. Hasn't happened again since, but I saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
She had her 2 month doctor appointment (no more midwife visits 🙁) and she got her first vaccines (she was such a trooper only crying for a minute). At her 2 month appointment, which was 7 weeks and 5 days, she weighed 12lb 4oz, up 4 pounds from birth. Her length was still 23″.

- Or (assign a true or false value to rows meet one or another criteria)
VLookup / Index / Match Funtions
- VLookup (look up data in a column)
- Match and Index (look up data in a column and row)
Financial Functions

Named Ranges / Dynamic Ranges
Use Named Ranges in formulas and functions to refer to specific regions of a spreadsheet. Create Dynamic Ranges that automatically expand to include new data added at the bottom of a spreadsheet.
"What-If" Tools
Excel includes several "What-If" tools that will change the way you think about Excel.
GOAL SEEK is a great tool when you know the answer you're looking for and need to change a single variable to achieve that goal. For example, what would the interest rate on a loan need to be in order to make your monthly payments a certain amount.
SOLVER is a more powerful tool than Goal Seek. Solver helps you find solutions to problems involving multiple variables. It also allows you to set "Constraints" (limits to what Solver can do) so the results are realistic.
SCENARIOS are a set of values that a user can create and then substitute at any time in the worksheet. The user can switch to any of these new scenarios to view different results in the worksheet.
DATA TABLES allow you to analyze data and produce a table to show the results using one or two variables. For example, in a single table you can see the profitability of different combinations of unit prices and units sold.
Create simple recorded "macros" to automate common, repetitive tasks. NOTE: We do not cover creating or editing VBA macros in this class.
Workbook Controls
Add buttons, sliders, and checkboxes to a worksheet with a "user-friendly" interface for less experienced users.
* Note: This class description is for Excel training in San Diego. We also offer Excel training in San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose, and Los Angeles.

|PDF - Published Version
The Fresnel Diffraction has been reviewed to measure the wavelenght of monochromatic light sources. The change of circle fringe's number is obtained by the change of the distance between source and slits, and the change of fringe's radius. We used here the diode green pointer laser and red pointer laser as light sources with 1 mW in power. From the measurement, we obtained that the wavelenght of green laser and red pointer laser are still in the range of literature values.

I came across this interesting video with lots of facts and passion.
Almost 70% of all Porsches ever made are still being used.
Thanks to Porsche Classic Workshop. They run everything for all generations of old Porsches. back from 993 models till the first early models like the 356, including some 959s.
They have people specialized in some of these cars and been working for the company for over 40 years, which means they were on the assembly line one day making the 959s back from 1983 till 1987.
Cool huh!

Advocate, Philanthropist, Survivor
"This hospital is a special place and Kansas City is fortunate to have it. I have been all over the country advocating for cancer patients, and there is something special about the hospital's services, this facility and the people who work here."
-Annette Bloch
For three decades, Kansas City philanthropist Annette Bloch advocated for cancer patients. Yet in all those years, she never dreamed she'd be one.
Her husband Richard – the R in H&R Block – was the cancer patient. In a story that is legend, he was given only three months to live when diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 1978. Instead, he lived another 25 years, beating cancer not once but twice.
During those years, the Blochs devoted their energies to helping other cancer patients educate themselves and learn about their options. Giving hope and encouragement, the couple motivated patients to take charge of their disease.
They penned three books on battling cancer, built more than 25 cancer survivor parks across North America and established the RA Bloch Cancer Foundation and toll-free cancer hotline. When Richard died of heart failure in 2004, Annette took on the challenge of continuing their work.
So when her routine mammogram in Breast Imaging at The University of Kansas Hospital in 2008 led to a breast cancer diagnosis, the cancer care advocate of three decades admits she was blindsided.
"Honestly, it took me a little while to process the information," she confided. "I couldn't believe it – even though I'm at high risk. My sister died of breast cancer at 50, back when treatment options were very limited."
William Smith, MD, medical director of Breast Imaging, broke the news, explaining her tumor was very small, caught in the early stages. "I wasn't scared. I really wasn't," she said. "I knew I was in the right place to be treated. The quality of care and physicians here are just phenomenal."
On the Bloch Foundation website, a letter written years ago by Annette's husband offers this advice to newly diagnosed cancer patients: "There is a saying that it takes six things to beat cancer. First is the best possible medical treatment. Second is the best possible medical treatment. Third, fourth and fifth are the best possible medical treatment. Sixth is a positive mental attitude."
Annette didn't need to do her homework on where to find "the best possible medical treatment." A longtime friend of The University of Kansas Hospital, she'd toured the outpatient cancer center before it opened in 2007 and was so impressed she'd contributed $1 million during one of the opening events.
Following her lumpectomy, Annette received a type of radiation treatment relatively new in the U.S. Instead of radiation five days a week for six or seven weeks, she received intensive radiation twice a day for one week. In addition to Smith, with whom she's formed a fast friendship, she praises her surgeon, Carol Connor, MD; oncologist, Carol Fabian, MD; "and the other wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at The University of Kansas Cancer Center."
"You know, I could have gone anywhere, but I was so lucky to be able to come here," she said. "I've been all over the country advocating for cancer patients, and there is something special about this facility and the people who work here."
In 2008, she expressed her gratitude with a $20 million gift to cancer care for breast imaging, blood and marrow transplant and radiation oncology programs. In 2009, the Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Care Pavilion and the Richard and Annette Bloch Radiation Oncology Pavilion were named to recognize her generosity.
As with all treatments, individual patient results vary. It is important to discuss your treatment options with your healthcare provider.

SHELTON, Conn. — Mahdi Saeikhalili, an international Housatonic Community College student and Shelton resident, recently won second place in the finals of the Connecticut Skills Challenge, which was organized by the Connecticut Technology Council.
The challenge is a coding and engineering contest for the state's top student coders. The event was held Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Yale School of Management in New Haven.
Saeikhalili is in his first year at Bridgeport's HCC in the Computer Science Program and he is majoring in Computer Information Systems.
He was one of the top 50 statewide competitive computer programmers selected to take part in the event. He qualified earlier this year at preliminary events.
The 50 competitors, representing 13 colleges and universities in the state, were divided into 10 teams. The teams each selected a project from a prepared list that they had to complete and prove within a given time period, according to a release from HCC.
With the competition from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., competitors had to create and design a computer program that accomplished the task set forth by the project. Saeikhalili's team was randomly arranged from the competitors in the finals.
The second-place win gave Saeikhalili's team $2,500, or $500 each.
The Connecticut Technology Council is an association of technology-oriented companies and institutions dedicated to innovation and providing leadership and networking assistance for growing companies.
Saeikhalili served an apprenticeship this past summer with A100, a program that provides technical training to aspiring software developers to get them start-up ready.
HCC is a member of the Northeast Resiliency Consortium composed of seven colleges receiving a grant from the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant Program (TAACCCT), which has enhanced the HCC Computer Information System Program curriculum and provided Saeikhalili with support toward his career goal.

What We're Reading…or Not Reading
J: I read a book! Well, I read a couple, but my recent history suggests this is a rare thing. Of course, there was Ben Monopoli's The Cranberry Hush. Loved. I think I might have a reader-crush on him.
M: I thought you'd like that one. Vince is very Holden-esque
J: Holden, yes. Vince, yes. But mostly the authors who created them. Also, our stalking has paid off once more. Interview with Mr. Monopoli coming soon! (We should maybe clarify that our stalking is in no way shady and almost always welcomed by the authors in question…)
M: Read his books and prepare to ask questions. There may be spoilers in the interview, but we'll be sure to warn everyone.
J: I have The Painting of Porcupine City queued and ready to go soon. I'm also reading Elizabeth Hunter's A Hidden Fire.
I'm only half done, but I do not hate
not even a little bit
in fact, I think I'll love and have to order the next three immediately
M: I love that
finding something you like and being able to read more
J: I think you would like this one
but I'll wait to rec until I finish
M: I'm not a huge YA fan
they have to be pretty good
J: it's a vampire one
but I did not know that when I started. It doesn't necessarily read like a YA, either.
M: I read the beginning of an erotica BDSM trilogy by Lila Dubois. The first book was free – Undone Rebel – not sure if it still is. It was good. Not annoying, sexy
but I like a well-written, sexy story
J: it looks kind of cute, actually
M: it was
I liked both hero and heroine
cute, sexy, and free
J: one of the reviews says geek-turned-dom
tell me it's the hero
M: it is
computer geek 😉
J: *dances*
i have such a soft spot for the geeks
M: geek dom
and fun
J: siiiiigh
M: I was very pleasantly surprised.
J: I've got it but haven't started it
but I will
M: it's definitely BDSM-y
good, though
Started a romantic suspense – jury is still out. Started pretty well, but then…
got kinda draggy and now looks like it will succumb to the Silly Romance Overreaction and Misunderstanding
I need to catch up on my reviews
which makes a good segue
I've gotten a few emails from authors patrolling reviews of books similar to theirs on Amazon
Sending the emails to the reviewers and asking them to read and review their book. This last one actually sent the book as a pdf attachment.
J: I actually got a review request to my email, too
I didn't connect the two until you said something
M: I find this annoying.
I mean, I understand coming up with new and creative ways to get your book put there. All authors struggle with marketing.
But I'm pretty uncomfortable with people picking up my contact info from Amazon and
using it like that
And it likely violates a number of Amazon policies, not that that means much anymore
Something like that would never occur to me.
Maybe that's why I suck at marketing myself
But I could never do anything like that, something that I find so annoying and, well, just uncomfortable
J: liam and I had a discussion about marketing the other night
I want to try a few new things in the future
M: I'd love to hear. Honestly, the only thing I've found that really helps is write a better book
"better" in terms of something that really connects with readers
J: we had visual aids and stuff
M: haha – omg
would have loved to see that
J: it was actually pretty funny
over dinner
a container of romano cheese
there may have been a mess to clean up
"this container of cheese represents my sphere of influence. I have reached them all. This piece of lonely cheese out here represents someone who would love my book but has no idea it exists. how do I reach that piece of cheese?"
"well, all of this cheese–" he dumps a handful on the table "–has to go tell that cheese."
"but they don't know that cheese. no one I know knows that cheese."
M: mmm, cheese
word of mouth is so powerful. that's the best way to reach people
figuring out how to get them to talk is the thing
J: that was another point. "this cheese may EVENTUALLY reach that cheese, but do we want to wait that long? how do I go directly to THAT cheese?"
J: I guess the most important thing is for people to just keep spreading the word if they find a book they like. Goodreads helps, but not everyone is on Goodreads. Same with Facebook and Twitter. You think?
M: I do. That's why I love talking about books I enjoyed. I want other people to have a chance to enjoy, too, and help spread the word for the author.
J: So, who do we stalk this week for the blog? Whose amazing skills do we want to learn about next? Suggestions? Maybe Elizabeth Hunter?
M: Sounds good. I'm off to spread the stalk–I mean love.

Position: The econommy should serve the people.Rather than people being subservient to the economy, the economy should provide for human needs within the natural limits of the earth. Local self-reliance to the greatest practical extent is the best way to achieve this goal. We are living in a very different context than when our social security system was set up. At that time, it was not unreasonable to expect that a single adult could easily get a job with enough security and benefits to support a family through its lifetime. This is no longer the case. Global restructuring in the labour market has resulted in fewer full-time and permanent jobs. Corporations cut jobs or ship them overseas as cost-saving measures. Thus, many people who do not work do so because society has no need of their work, and they have no need of the extra income it could provide. In such cases, whose interests are served by forcing them into a job which provides them with no fulfillment, and which serves only to feed into endless, infinite economic growth? such cancerous processes are called uneconomic growth?. It is time to value work that does not result in a paycheque. For example: child care, artists, volunteers.
Position Paper: Society enables and sustains poverty"How can we make sure that the lazy, ie. no good, people will not take advantage of the system?" Suspicion about people's good natures (assumptions that they will cheat the system, etc) is a direct product of the consumer-oriented, individual (as opposed to community) centred morality that is prevalant in North America. It's based on the "American Dream" - that every person can be rich if only they work hard enough. Closely related to this, but often unspoken, is that if any person is not rich, it is simply because they haven't worked hard enough (and therefore are not 'worth' much as a human being). This assumption is implicit in the whole discourse about welfare cheating. It is possible to develop policy based on the premise that some people are good, and some people are bad. I believe that we are all people. We are basically good, but we are all capable of doing "bad" things. This position leads to the basic Green position that everyone is included. No one is excluded from the community. Anti-poverty programs enable people to make healthy and sustainable choices. For example, few people particularly want to drive huge, gas-guzzling, falling-apart automobiles, but for many, the price of a new (or replacement) car is simply out of reach. Fresh organic produce is nothing more than an impossible dream to many inhabitants of Canada's cities. People with low incomes are often forced by circumstance (and lured by Wal-Mart) to purchase items that are products of a long chain of environmental degradation and exploitation of the underprivileged in other parts of the world. The "food" that is commonly available to those living from paycheque to paycheque is often so overprocessed and nutritionally void as to be barely worthy of the name. Kathleen Norris said:
"History demonstrates repeatedly, that if enough people begin to define themselves as "good" in contrast to others who are "bad", those others come to be seen as less than human."We need to confront the stereotypes and prejudices around poverty. With the exception of a few pockets of extreme poverty, like the homeless and first nations communities, all of the old stereotypes are outdated. These examples of extreme poverty are rooted in more complex issues, like systemic racism and the collapse of the mental health system, which need to be dealt with separately. The majority of those who live below the poverty line in Canada are young and under employed but not un-employed. There education levels are at or slightly above the national average because they are disproportionately young. There use of alcohol and drugs is at or near national rates as well. The current system dose little or nothing to help this group. Of those that are un-employed and receiving social assistance you will find that education rates are slightly below average and drug and alcohol use is around average. The bureaucratic nature of current system is what often traps people in this group. For example if a welfare recipient can find a part time job, that will not cover some but not all of there expenses, they face the possibility that their check will be delayed for weeks while case workers figure out how much they will claw back, in the mean time rent must be paid and food must be bought. It is true that people can become trappped in the system, but it is more likely due to the dehumanizing conditions experienced by those on government assistance. Their income is so low that they are unable to participate in their community, let alone go to school or otherwise improve their future chances. The perception of social assistance recipients as layabouts, cheaters and drunks is largely a product of perceptions and representations in mainstream media and discourse. Nobody will need food stamps because everyone will have enough. Everyone is included. Everyone is a person, a citizen. Anti-poverty programs are nonetheless difficult for political parties to address. Whatever the program, there is a large potential of "perceived" abuse. It is often difficult to sell to voters, and can take only one or two cases to turn the public against them. The public has, in the past, certainly shown itself willing to be swept up in anti-poor rhetoric. The Harris Tories, with no small assistance from the media, garnered enormous support by whipping up anger against the faceless poor in Ontario who were allegedly taking the taxpayer for a ride. However, there are signs of growing public support for the rights of the very poor to live with dignity. The case of Kimberly Rodgers illustrates this. Seven months pregnant, she was placed under house arrest for the crime of collecting a student loan while also collecting welfare. She died alone in her house on date. The good news is, there was an enormous public outcry. People are starting to see this sort of dehumanizing treatment for the reprehensible injustice that it is. (more examples ...) The Green Party assumes that people will make positive choices if we give them the opportunity to. In the context of our larger platform, the circumstances that lead to the scapegoating of our weakest members should not exist.

Palermo's Centro is not very big, maybe three square kilometers in all. Despite its size, it packs a lot of content. We've stayed there for a total of two months now and we feel we still haven't seen half of what we could. It is, however, a bit embarrassing when you learn that one of the important churches in Palermo is right around the corner from where you're staying (literally 3 minutes' walk)… and you didn't know.
Chiesa di Sant'Agostino. It may be understandable that we have missed this church. Its medieval façade (1275) in yellowish-brown is flush with the other surrounding walls, with only a few stairs to enter. Although its rose window is lovely, it is so high up we'd have had to walk with our eyes to the sky to see it. The inside is not huge, with a single nave that ends in a recessed presbytery with a vaulted ceiling. Its proportions are elegant and restful, and there is an air of contemplation to the silence. What is remarkable are the decorations and stucco allegorical and holy sculptures created by the famous 18th century sculptor, Serpotta, the same artist who adorned the three major Palermo Oratorios, such as the Oratorio of Santa Cita. A door to the left leads to a quiet cloister, built in the Catalan Gothic style and surrounding a fountain. Roses were in bloom and we could not resist taking a turn about the square, where the noise of the city and the market could barely be heard.
Palazzo Abatellis. This Palazzo is located in one of the four old quarters of Palermo, La Kalsa and houses the Galleria Regionale della Sicilia, an incredible museum that gathers artifacts and works of art that trace the history of Sicily, from its Arab roots to its religious history through sculpture and art. The Palazzo was originally the home of Francesco Abatellis, the15th Century port master of the "Kingdom of Sicily." It was turned into a convent in the mid sixteenth century then, after heavy bombing in WWII, restored and used as a museum. Again, the façade of the building is unprepossessing unless you pay close attention. Made of brick, with heavily grated windows, the only indication it was a palace is its ornate stone arch above the plain main entrance. You enter into an airy courtyard around which the rooms of the museum flow, on two levels. There are many treasures to discover, including the fresco entitled "The Triumph of Death," an impressive tableau, one of the most representative works of the late Gothic painting in Italy (1445) by an unknown artist. Death, mounted on a horse and holding a bow and arrow, chases down characters to kill them. They come from all walks of life, demonstrating that Death is not selective and will come for everyone, from pauper to pope and king. There is also a wonderful marble bust of Costanza of Aragona, the Queen of Sicily (1212-1220). Walking around the museum isn't a hardship. It is well lit, the exhibits are well set up, and there are explanatory sheets for each room. One level, with amazing art by painters mimicking the style of Caravaggio, can only be reached by an elevator off the garden courtyard. The paintings are huge, luminous, and well-worth the detour.
Casa Professa, or Chiesa del Gesù. This is another stunning church, one of the best example and most important of the Baroque style churches in Palermo, and possibly Sicily. In answer to the severity of the Protestant Style, this church goes to the other extreme with its decorations, with sculptures and intarsia (colored stone inlay) covering every surface of the church, except for the ceiling, which has lavish paintings set within ornate plaster frames. Casa Professa was owned by the Jesuits and expanded over the years. It was quickly restored after it was damaged during WWII. There is so much decoration that it is almost overwhelming and the eye doesn't know where to rest. This is a case of either you will love it or hate it. I was personally awed by its grandeur but can't say that it was my favorite church. There's an exaggeration to it that prevents me from taking it seriously as a place of worship and contemplation. You can also visit the museum behind the church which has some very nice Renaissance pieces, although it is not very big. Another point of interest is the Oratorio on the second floor of what would be the Jesuits living quarters, decorated by the last surviving Serpotta who followed in his father's footsteps. He kept the serenity of the style, which makes it a place of rest after the "business" of the main church. Nevertherless, this is one church that needs to be seen and contrasted with the Capella Palatina, for instance, which is covered in mosaic tile and of Byzantine style.
As I mentioned over and over again through my posts, Palermo doesn't stop surprising, and there is still too much to discover. We may never finish.

Heating a building with wood is an excellent way to achieve a 'passive' house and is easy to combine with other heating methods, for example re-using the heat generated within a heat exchange hot water system. Tulikivi fireplaces are also able to take air directly from outside with no effect on air conditioning inside a home.
Heating with wood is carbon neutral: the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide would be released if the wood decayed, but burning it allows the heat energy to be used efficiently. Switching to bioenergy, of which burning wood is an example, is an excellent way in which to contribute to achieving the Kyoto targets for the reduction of greenhouse gases.
Tulikivi is the first company in its sector to calculate the carbon footprint of its fireplaces: the impact of the Tulikivi fireplace manufacturing process is offset in as little as 1-2 years. Tulikivi fireplaces burn cleanly, exceeding even the toughest emissions standards. It is possible to use either wood or energy-efficient wood pellets in your Tulikivi fireplace.
People who come here who haven't seen a Tulikivi before are bowled over by it!Peter McManners, Tulikivi Owner

It was drawn to my attention a few months ago that my iron level was abysmal. The Egyptian, upon learning of my iron deficiency, promptly showed up and cooked roast beef for me. I can't say much about that without sounding like a lovestruck idiot, but suffice it to say, these simple, careful gestures make the man.
I resolved to correct my iron deficiency through diet opposed to supplements by rolling the task into the already ongoing protein intake project. Thus began The Egyptian's quest to get me to eat liver. Liver: The Best Source of Iron.
After six weeks, I had managed to double my iron by the sheer force of my diet awesomeness.
"Just imagine how good it will be after the liver!" said The Egyptian.
"There is no fucking way," I said.
But The Egyptian's enthusiasm to cook me liver did not wane in the coming weeks, and finally, last night the time had come. We'd had a nice walk in the ravine and as we discussed what to do for dinner, his eyes lit up – I knew. I knew I was going to have to eat the liver.
At the grocery store, I almost hit the jackpot when we couldn't find liver on the shelf. Sadly, I had the idea to look in the butcher case and, yes indeed, there it was. The Egyptian ordered it up. I was practically gagging as the kid piled the slabs onto the scale. "Blaaaggggh, I don't think I can eat that!" I moaned. Dramatically.
"Honey, after this you're going to wonder where liver has been all your life. You'll craaave it."
Back at home, I observed as The Egyptian prepared the liver. He explained that liver is an Alexandrian specialty. As luck would have it, my Egyptian is from Alexandria. At least my first liver experience was in good hands. He sliced the liver into very thin strips, then fried it with some olive oil and a lot of garlic. Right at the end he added salt, pepper and cumin. The liver was then put into some nice rolls and finished with a squeeze of lemon juice.
I've always heard that the smell of liver cooking is absolutely atrocious, that it would "gag a maggot" as we like to say in my family. But as the liver hit the pan, not only was there no smell offensive enough to cause a maggot to barf, there was practically no smell at all. Just garlicky deliciousness.
And I did wonder where liver had been all my life.

A series far ahead of its time, now back in print Anyone else would have learned by now: when trouble comes knocking, don't open the door. But there's a reason why Garrett's still in the P.I. business after all these years-he's not one to learn his lessons. Maybe that's why he lets himself get roped into being a bodyguard for Kip Prose, an obnoxious kid being threatened by creatures that can't quite be described.

Elements Cushion Collection
This new collection of cushion facings is inspired by the Medicine Wheel and the five directions/elements.
Many Native traditions follow the Wheel, using the four directions of East, South, West and North, and the four elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth, along with a fifth element of Spirit, which is at the centre of all things.
The wheel and the elements follow the life cycles of the seasons, of our own lifetime on earth, and of all the plants, trees and animals.
The element of Spirit, relates to Great Spirit, God, Mother Nature, the name we give to that universal power does not matter, it is the belief of something greater that we are all a part of that is important.
I have chosen to interpret these in my own way.
We start with Whirl Wind.
The element of air, breathing new life in to all we do.
Thoughts of the sails of windmills went turning through my mind, or of leaves tumbling in the wind on an autumn day.
The layers of both the square and the border twist and turn, and overlap each other.
When we think of the wind, we also think of the sky, so I chose to use 3 shades of blue to represent the element of Air.
I used Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK in Nocturne, Greek Blue and Sky Blue.
One 100-gram ball of each, with a 4mm hook.
Available from Deramores and Woolwarehouse.
Next comes Wild Fire.
The element of fire, giving us passion and creativity, and the courage and will to persevere.
Thoughts of flames gently crackling on a log fire, or of the power and speed of a bush fire.
Both the square and the border have overlay stitches in the shape of flames.
When we think of fire, we feel warmth and comfort, but we are also aware of the danger of letting things get out of control. So I chose to use red, orange and yellow, to represent the warmth and power of the element of Fire.
I used Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK in Poppy, Saville and Sunflower.
One 100-gram ball of each, with a 4mm hook.
Available from Deramores and Woolwarehouse.
The third is Drop in the Ocean.
Water is the element of dreams and feelings; without it no life can survive.
At times we may all feel that our contributions or trials are but a drop in the ocean, yet each and every thing we do is vital to our own growth and survival.
When we watch anything drop into water, it causes a splash and then ripples outward, this is what the ruffles and waves in the pattern of the square and border conjure up.
The oceans can be calm and tranquil or they can be deep and stormy.
I chose to use teal and turquoise to represent the element of Water.
I used Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK in Teal, Azure and Sky Blue.
One 100-gram ball of each, with a 4mm hook.
Available from Deramores and Woolwarehouse.
Now we come to Earth Awakens.
Technically the north and the element of earth represents strength, form, and the end of the cycle, but to me the cycles of life never end, they simply rest for a while and then burst forth in new growth or a new direction.
The centre of the square is like a flower opening, showing many layers, which are connected to each other.
So I chose to use Spring like colours, in two shades of green, with a pop of sunshine yellow and an orange pink to represent the element of Earth.
I used Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK in Sunflower, Soft Lime, Leaf, Shrimp and Ivory.
One 100-gram ball of each, with a 4mm hook.
Available from Deramores and Woolwarehouse.
Finally, we come to Spirit, the Fifth Element.
The central element or part of the wheel is all around us, it is within us. It is our own spirit or it is the spirit of all things past or yet to come.
The square, with its linked chains that form a cross represent the Medicine Wheel.
The colours I chose, purple, lavender and silver represent the colours of Spirit and our connection to all that is.
I used Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK in Lavender, Wisteria and Silver.
One 100-gram ball of each, with a 4mm hook.
Available from Deramores and Woolwarehouse.
And then to show how they can be mixed together I made one final cushion using all five of the squares.
I used Stylecraft Special DK in Walnut, Copper, Spice, Gold and Mustard.
With a 4mm hook.
Available from Deramores and Woolwarehouse.
All of these would make great stash buster projects, and are suitable for any number of colours.
There is no limit to your creativity, so let your imagination take you wherever it may.
I always recommend blocking your squares, once finished. Firstly it makes them easier to join together, and it also gives your work a much more polished finish.
You can learn more about blocking here.
Each of the Elements is available separately, or you can purchase all five patterns in a new E-Book.

To use the modern terminology, I am a refugee. A refugee from the city, from the work-for-a-wage-daily-drain and from bureaucracy-gone-crazy.
It is important for me now, at this time in my life, to live a more simple life and – as clichéd as it sounds – to be in touch with who I really am.
After many setbacks and heartbreaks I realised that it was now or never. As the years progress, one finds oneself looking for excuses for why things should not be done. There is always paying off the mortgage first, get the children through university, get enough super behind me, then I'll do it. As you get older, you plumb for safety. This is a mistake that many people make.
On Monday mornings, I was sick and tired of hearing people saying, 'Only four days to go!'
'To what?' I asked.
'To the weekend.'
'It's only Monday!'
I got to thinking that that's so sad. We just live from weekend to weekend. So sad…
'Oh, not to worry, only four days to go…'
What kind of a life is that to have? Living on the weekend and during the week – you're a zombie!
I've read about other people doing a tree change and I thought, 'I'm doing it'. And I realised I had to do it now.
My ethos is to tread softly, live sustainably and enjoy the years that I have left.
I am Greenman. I grow things. I will leave a legacy.
At the age of thirty-five, I was horrified when my father made the comment to me that I was 'middle aged'! What the…!? I think not!
But maybe now I'd consider myself middle-aged. For one thing, I have a grand-daughter – and what a beauty she is! Does it change anything? Well, it does and it doesn't. It makes me reflect on what I've done and what I haven't got. (Note the NOT in the HAVE…) Ha! At this point, I could tell you my life story, and that might be interesting, but that's not the point of this page. You want to know 'About Us' because that's the way I've set up the site. Let me tell you.
My actual name is Kerry, but you can call me Lady of the Wood and I am authoring this site. I am a middle-aged grandmother and mother of three who are eco-warriors each in their own way. I have had two many (the pun is deliberate) divorces and too little payoffs for the trouble. I care about my footprint on the planet and anyone who knows me will know that if I have $50, I'd be more inclined to buy a book than a new top, despite the fact that I may really need the top. I read, I write, I cook, I have chickens, I am a worm farmer, I make compost, and among other things, I love trees and care about sustainability and the future of this planet.
Greenman is my partner. He loves trees too.
Together we have embarked on a soul journey to quit our well-paid permanent jobs in Western Australia and move to Tasmania to plant an orchard and vineyard. We will produce eggs, wine and cider to name but a few of the planned gastronomies. We will live sustainably and build a straw bale house. Eventually. But in the meantime, we will relate to you the successes and difficulties we have in becoming Greenman Orchards.

I feel conflicted.
Due to the whole Caitlyn Jenner/ESPY and gay marriage in the USA thing last week, my dad wrote a lamenting post on Facebook about "the state of things" for Christians in America and got equally applauded and attacked.
The big surprise for me was that some of his attackers were my childhood friends. I'm not surprised they disagree with my dad; I'm surprised they were surprised by his post. I mean, my dad is the most conservative Christian I know. The fact that he considers gay marriage, nationwide, to be a bad thing should go without saying.
His post inspired a conversation between Jake and me. The conversation we had was a bit worrying, because we both realized it feels as though Christians can't disagree with gay marriage without being vilified, which means people are being vilified for having an opinion, and we all have a right to our opinions … even if that opinion isn't the cool, new trend on Twitter.
I know how I identify. I am:
Pro-gay marriage
An erotica author
A prison rights advocate
The proud owner of a .38 special named Annie Oakley
I've long since realized I'm not a republican or a democrat. I'm not liberal or conservative. I'm a Benedict Cumberbatch-loving geeky writer with a husband and two dogs. I dance in rainstorms and make people laugh with my creative usage of the f-word.
My most famous story to date is "Don't Ball the Boss," nominated for the much-coveted 2015 Pushcart Prize. It was about a highly inappropriate and hilarious gay man and his sexual fixation with his straight male boss, which got me (like my father) equally applauded and attacked. And I was writing fiction!
I know where I stand, philosophically and creatively, but I'm wary about discussing it. I'm getting a little shaky about being honest and having a voice—and what the hell is a writer without a voice? For instance, I wrote an article about Lana Del Rey fans months ago and was bludgeoned to death by cries of "slut shaming!" and "women's rights!" and "you're just old and bitter!"
Damn. I was just making a point about idol worship.
Despite negative feedback, I can't shut up. I can't keep my politically incorrect mouth restrained. I have an opinion, and I'm allowed to have my opinion. So is everyone else, even if I think it's wrong. It's an opinion. Without opinions, we'd live in a world of peace and harmony and … boredom.
I realize that someday soon, one of my labels—the Christian one—will become a minority. In fact, someday, I might be locked up because I pray every day and think God is a pretty cool dude. Like Daniel with the lions, I'll be added to the menu, but not yet.
For now, I still have a voice. So with that voice, I'll say, congrats on gay marriage, but let's not slander people who are against it. Remember: it's not Christian versus gay; it's about all of us listening to and respecting each other.
A final word from the Man upstairs: "Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. … Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation."

A History Of American Magazines - 1885-1905
A History Of Popular Women's Magazines In The United States, 1792-1995
Throughout their history, women's mass circulation journals have played a major role in the lives of millions of American women. Yet the women's magazines of the early 20th century were quite different from those perused by women today. This book looks at changes that occurred in these journals and offers insight into these changes. Business forces formed a key shaping mechanism, tempered by individual editors, readers, advertisers, technology, and cultural and social forces. Founded in the second half of the 19th century, six titles became the largest circulators-Ladies Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, McCall's, Pictorial RevieW, Woman's Home Companion, and Delineator. Capturing the interest of readers and advertisers, these journals published reliable service departments, fiction, and investigative reporting; however, competition eventually bred editorial caution. This, coupled with the depression of the 1930s, led to a narrowing of content and the beginning of Betty Friedan's feminine mystique. After World War II, the journals faced competition from television. The women's liberation movement and women's entry into the work force also brought changes.

You have drive, talent, ambition and are good at what you do. You also have a foreign or regional accent that may be getting in the way of clear communication. Have you ever thought:
- I'm tired of repeating myself all day long.
- My boss is concerned that clients can't understand me, particularly over the phone.
- My accent is keeping me from getting promoted.
- People think I'm less intelligent because of my accent.
- I'm a good actor, but I feel limited in the roles I can get.
If so, an accent reduction program (also known as accent modification) may be for you. While an accent is not a speech or language disorder, it can negatively impact your job performance, personal life and self-esteem. You have come so far already. Why not go further?
What Is Accent Reduction Exactly?
A systematic approach to changing
- sound pronunciation (vowels and consonants)
- intonation, stress and rhythm of speech
Is It Difficult?
Change is never easy. Once you have been evaluated and your personal program has been created, intensive, daily practice is required to achieve your goals. Many of our clients who have practiced 60 minutes per day have successfully reduced their accents by 50% or higher.
How Long Will It Take?
It depends on how "heavy" an accent or dialect you have, and how frequently you practice. As previously mentioned, consistent practice is necessary to keep you moving forward. The average length of an accent reduction program generally ranges between 7-13 weeks.
It's a Big Commitment. Can I Get More Information?
Of course. Please call us or just take our FREE, ONLINE ACCENT REDUCTION SCREENING.
We'll get back to you immediately with the results and to answer any questions you may have.
In the meantime, listen to 2 clients who successfully reduced their accents in just 3 months:
