So, in a bid to reduce my shopping habit I decided to keep a better track of the items I purchase. If I can see the items in full view, I think I'll have better respect for the items I buy and hopefully buy less.
Presenting my 'New Things Rail' – I purchased it from ikea (£6) along with the floral hangy thing (£8)
Also, here are some of the clothes and other bits and bobs I've purchased over the past few weeks, I have been trying to switched and adding new key pieces slowly but surely.

ATHENS, Ga. -- The sweat was still thick on Charles Scott's brow Saturday evening when he ignited the official countdown to The Game.
LSU hadn't even had time to celebrate its thrilling 20-13 victory over Georgia when the subject invariably turned to next week.
The Florida Gators.
"We'll feel great for another hour or so and then we'll start thinking about Florida," said Scott, whose 33-yard touchdown run with 46 seconds to play won it for the Tigers.
It was another skin-of-their-teeth win for the Tigers, who've pretty much experienced this all this season.
They've gone all the way across the country to face Washington in the opener in a game that was closer than anyone expected at the time. They played just well enough to win the next week at home against Vanderbilt and then came up with a goal-line stand for the ages last week to escape at Mississippi State.
They head back home to Tiger Stadium to face the No. 1-ranked Gators after coming alive offensively in the final three minutes against Georgia.
"My heart can't take too many more of these," LSU coach Les Miles joked.
Something says he probably better get used to it, because the SEC race is shaping up as a wild one.
Next weekend, in a lot of ways, will separate the contenders from the pretenders. In addition to the Florida-LSU showdown, Alabama goes to Ole Miss.
"We're right where we wanted to be, undefeated and going back to our house," LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson said. "Florida's coming to town, and nobody is going to want to miss this game."
The Gators, who were off this week, thrashed the Tigers 51-21 a year ago in Gainesville, a romp that was still fresh in the LSU players' minds only minutes after taking care of Georgia on Saturday night.
"Florida put it on us last year, and we're holding a grudge," LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson said. "They were disrespecting us, doing stuff like punting the ball in the stands. We've been looking forward to this."
Jefferson was referring to Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes punting the ball into the stands after returning an interception for a touchdown a year ago.
Linebacker Kevin Sheppard's eyes lit up when asked what Tiger Stadium was going to be like next Saturday. LSU has won 32 consecutive Saturday night games at home.
"Oh man, words can't describe that," beamed Sheppard, already anticipating the atmosphere on the Bayou.
Something else the Tigers are anticipating is seeing Florida quarterback Tim Tebow in the lineup despite the concussion he suffered at Kentucky.
"He's going to play. I know he is," Peterson said. "He's a competitor. He's always in guys' ears, and I know he's going to play.
"They call him Superman. We're just going to have to contain Superman."
Added Sheppard: "Knowing that guy, he's definitely going to give it his all to get in there and play."
Either way, the Tigers (5-0) go into that game feeling better about themselves than they have all season.
"I love the passion we're playing with, the way the offense came through, the way the defense is playing," Scott said. "It's coming along, and the best thing is that we're only going to get better.
"We'll keep our eyes open and keep heading down that road."
It's a road the leads to one of the most anticipated showdowns of the season next Saturday between a Florida team many have called the most talented team in the country and an LSU team many have called the most overrated team in the country.
"People can sit back and talk and talk," Sheppard said. "One of these days, you have to line up and play each other. That's what happened today and what's going to happen next week against a great team.
"We'll see how it turns out on the field."

'Higher' is not intrinsically special by itself. Absent movement, and continuous transformation between higher and lower and lower and higher, higher becomes an irrelevant abstraction. But when experience directs us along a particular path, opens new vistas while closing and modifying others, punctuates contexts with more effective inclusivity, and actuates/accentuates the development of new capacities, 'higher' becomes a very real and useful way of describing the associated quality of consciousness.
In this sense, 'lower' can be experienced as 'higher' (eg. Jung –> Shadow). As a metaphor, 'higher' (which, we can never forget, always comes with 'lower') constellates the experience of our self-contextualization around a direction of potential movement. It creates a pattern that inclusively represents a series of alternative becomings and lends potential value to their realization.
Kept in motion, 'higher' and 'lower' are not necessarily problematic. This only happens when their constant r/evolving is artificially or arbitrarily stilled. Then 'higher' and 'lower' become weapons of Dis-tinction: the tincture made by Dis, another name for the god of the underworld, Pluto, whom only oaths and curses could reach. As the god of wealth (his name was originally Dis Pater, 'Father of Riches') he materializes the crystalline structures found within the Earth… not just as gold and gems, but as rigid habits of mind. His tincture keeps motion from arising through rigid constriction to form, and while this helps us to count (our money, our ideas), it obfuscates the healthy relationship (the transformation between) the 'much' and the 'few', the 'higher' and the 'lower', prejudicing one only.
Agostino Carracci, 1592
The way out of this Dis-ease (but not ease for us) is well known: follow the trail left by Persephone, who's name means 'the emerging'. Persephone is a goddess (the feminine aspect is crucial) who embodies the alchemical qualities of Water: change/process (http://www.spiritalchemy.com/p6-metaphors.html). She was abducted by Dis Pater/Pluto (Roman)/Hades (Greek) from near her favorite haunt, a springing fountain, as she was gathering flowers (read 'flowers' as a verb). Her mother Ceres/Demeter, in looking over her whole domain (the Earth) found only her belt floating upon a little lake made from the tears of the Water Nymphs. Plato even said of her (in his Cratylus) that "she is wise and touches that which is in motion".
(The full context is interesting: "The first men who gave names [to the gods] were no ordinary persons, but high thinkers and great talkers . . . Pherephatta!–How many people fear this name, and also Apollon! I imagine it is because they do not know about correctness of names. You see they change the name to Phersephone and its aspect frightens them. But really the name indicates that the goddess is wise;for since things are in motion (pheromena), that which grasps (ephaptomenon) and touches (epaphôn) and is able to follow them is wisdom. Pherepapha, or something of that sort, would therefore be the correct name of the goddess, because she is wise and touches that which is in motion (epaphê tou pheromenou)–and this is the reason why Haides, who is wise, consorts with her, because she is wise–but people have altered her name, attaching more importance to euphony than to truth, and they call her Pherephatta.")
Jan van Huysum
If we integrate the Plutonic (alchemically: Earth) with the Persephonic (Water) we prepare ourselves for Air, where what is above comes below, and what is below comes above; Persephone must spend half her time in the underworld and half above. It is in the oscillation between polarities that the 'higher' wisdom (in this case, represented by the seasons) can potentially manifest. Thus we see a difference between a 'higher' and a 'higher-higher': the meta-pattern remains.

Question about 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
WHen i turned off the jeep, I noticed steam coming out of the left sie of the hood.

What does your temperature gauge say? Make sure you're not overheating. Steam is always an indicator that something is amiss with the radiator. Never open it when it's hot!

Liberal condemnations of White House press secretary Sean Spicer's comments on Tuesday concerning the Holocaust were a foregone conclusion. But now, even avid Trump supporter and radio host Alex Jones has entered the fray.
The host of Infowars first joked that Spicer was being "sarcastic" before writing his comments off as "historically ignorant."
"We didn't use chemical weapons in World War II," Spicer said during Tuesday's White House press briefing. "You had … someone as despicable as Hitler who didn't sink to using chemical weapons."

To clarify his remarks, Jones speculated that Spicer may have "meant, like, not dropping gas on people."
To get his listeners on the same page, Jones reiterated, "[The Nazis] used chemical weapons in World War II,"
TRENDING: LiAngelo Ball Tells Truth About The Day He Said 'Thank You' To President
His comments are surprising because the host of Infowars lends a sympathetic ear to the Trump administration, and claims the president has sought him out for advice.
Reactions to Spicer's comments have hardly been limited to Infowars.

Adding that his comments came during Passover, The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect is calling for Spicer's immediate dismissal.
"Sean Spicer has engaged in Holocaust denial, the most offensive form of fake news imaginable, by denying Hitler gassed millions of Jews to death," said the center's director, Steven Goldstein.
"Spicer's statement is the most evil slur upon a group of people we have ever heard from a White House press secretary."
Barbara Streisand echoed Goldstein's outrage.
Sean Spicer should be fired for saying Hitler did not use chemical weapons on "his own people." You mean 6 million Jews don't count?
— Barbra Streisand (@BarbraStreisand) April 11, 2017

After realizing the inaccuracy of his comment, Spicer sought to walk back what he said.
"I think when you come to sarin gas, there was no, he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing," Spicer said.

We are regular visitors to the south of Bali, having our own place there, and often take trips to Lovina, which we love. Beautiful quiet ocean, friendly people, loads of places to eat, cheap Bintang, and nearly always fantastic weather. We have stayed in a number of different Lovina hotels, and discovered this gem on our visit in July 2014. It has a lovely vibe, the owners are very friendly, helpful and fun. The first night we stayed we ate dinner by the beach and listened to the live music followed by tradiional Balinese dancing. A truly magical night. The food is different from any other you will find in Lovina (Lovina food is generally fairly average with a few exceptions), and totally yummy. The cocktails are great (never imagined my big Scottish hubby sipping on a cocktail containing a coconut popsicle). Hotel breakfast is often poor in Bali, but not here, fresh pastries, baked eggs, tea, coffee, fruit etc.
There is no communal pool, but each room has its own splashpool, and a swing, its a great place just to chill out, or you can walk for miles along the beach. There is a spa on site for massage, manicure, pedicure,that kind of thing, and good value in comparison to some Bali hotel spa prices. When you are used to paying 80k for a massage out in the sticks like we are (about £4 for an hour) it stings when some hotels like to charge 300 or 400k, but Lilin was pretty reasonable.
The hawkers are always an issue in Lovina, you just need to say Tidak Mau in a strong tone. indonesian for don't want. Don't start to chat or negotiate, don't buy anything thinking they'll leave you alone, will just be back for more. And don't do what one lady staying did - pay 400k for sarongs. If you want a sarong 20k will get you a many as you like! Its a good walk from this hotel into central lovina, but there is a car and driver operating up to 9pm (unless you are in Kuta or Seminyak Bali pretty much goes to bed after 9pm anyway)
There are some things here that could be improved - the ACU in the room was a bit noisy, but we don't like it on all night anyway so wasn't a problem for us. The shower worked fine but wasn't brilliant, but everything you needed was there, fridge, hot and cold water dispenser, comfy beds etc.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Lilin is a unique beachfront retreat on Bali's north coast. Private villas feature personal plunge pools, courtyard gardens and in-room spa treatments. Rooms have both AC and fan cooling, TVs and DVDs on request, free WiFi internet. Guests enjoy beachfront lounges for sunning, reading and relaxing. Savor the delight of Bali outdoor living and the comforts of home in these beachfront villas. ... more less

Donald Corey designed the Splash Tea Infuser which resembles a falling water drop for PO: Selected. It is made out of fluorescent green silicone and stainless steel. It comes with a small matching silicone saucer of the same color.
It is perfect for brewing a single cup of tea. Simply fill the green infuser with tea leaves and allow them to dissolve in hot water until your tea is ready. You can then remove it easily and place it on the matching little saucer, without burning your fingers, since the silicone does not get hot.
Splash tea infuser has a bold design which will make you change your cup with a transparent one. The green silicone drop seems like its floating at the surface of your tea!

Hi there,
So I know I haven't posted in a while. . . don't hate me. I just lose track of time and get swallowed up by all the other stuff I have to do. Anyway today I thought I'd really give you guys something to hate me about with the unpopular opinions book tag. This is just a fun little tag revealing all your differences in the book fandoms. Alright lets get started.
1. A Popular Book or series that you didn't like.
For this question I am going to go with the Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner. I just really couldn't get into this series, I felt like I was kept completely in the dark because Thomas was discovering almost nothing. I thought it would get more exciting and grab my interest but it just didn't.
2. A Popular Book or series that every one else seems to hate but you love.
For this I'm going to choose City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. Just that book, not the series. Everyone I've spoken to (and people on the internet) think that the first book in the TMI series is rubbish and you have to push through it because the others are so great. I personally thought the first book rocked, I really loved it.
3. A Love Triangle where the main character ended up with the person you did NOT want them to end up with (warn people for spoilers) OR an OTP that you don't like.
I'm going to pick a popular OTP for this one and that is Celaena/Dorian from the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. I love Celaena/Chaol a lot more but everyone seems to ship Celaena/Dorian. I don't know I find it weird.
4. A popular book Genre that you hardly reach for.
This would be middle-grade fantasy. Which is weird because I actually really like it but I just never read it all that often.
5. A popular or beloved character that you do not like.
Severus Snape. The character who turned the most opinions just couldn't get mine.
6. A popular author that you can't seem to get into.
For this question I have to go with Stephanie Meyer. I read Twilight way back when and actually really enjoyed it. Then I read New Moon and everything went downhill. I just got tired of her writing style and just couldn't get into the rest of her books.
7. A popular book trope that you're tired of seeing. (examples "lost princess", corrupt ruler, love triangles, etc.)
Okay for this I will pick something that I actually never like seeing in the first place. It's the whole "girl meets boy who is really mean to her for 95% of the book but she's attracted to him and falls in love and it turns out he isn't really mean and was doing it for this reason". I hate it. Stop.
8. A popular series that you have no interest in reading.
The Hush Hush trilogy by whoever. It was on my TBR for like a million years but then I lost interest and now I'll just never read it. Ever.
9. The saying goes "The book is always better than the movie", but what movie or T.V. show adaptation do you prefer more than the book?
I'm going to go with the movie adaptation for The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkein. I tried to read this book but it 95% of it was then walking through a forest. It was boring, I couldn't get into it, the movie was amazing.
Alright so that is it for the Unpopular Opinions Book Tag. I tag anyone who wants to do this tag.
Signing off, Verity

Happy December friends! It's that time of year everyone is starting to think about goals and resolutions for next year after an indulgent holiday season. I've talked about being anti- New Year's Resolutions on the blog before but I wanted to talk a little bit more about that today and introduce you to an alternative.
In a nutshell here is how I feel about New Years resolutions- they don't work. Yes everyone starts out committed but quickly falls off the bandwagon and one of the many reasons is because you can't go from 0 to 10 overnight. Changes must be gradually implemented to be successful. If you want to read more about my thoughts on resolutions check out this post.
Okay so resolutions don't work…. What will work?? Ditch the diets and overexercising for my wellness challenge!
Join me January 1st for a FREE virtual health and wellness challenge. We will be dedicated to incorporating healthy behaviors (and gradually limiting the less healthy ones) over 8 weeks. 8 Weeks of Wellness with Jess will be focusing on hydration, eating more fruits and vegetables, physical activity, sleep/meditation, mindful eating, whole foods, practicing gratitude, and general health. Each week there will be a new focus added as well as a new challenge for previous focuses. By week 8 you will be a changed person and many of these healthy behaviors will have become second nature instead of a challenge. Again this is 100% free and I'll be offering lots of encouragement (and some prizes!!) as well as answering any questions. This is not a diet or lecture- it's simply a way to challenge yourself to focus more on your health in the upcoming year!

Martyn Thomas leaves Rugby Football Union after misconduct charge is lifted
Martyn Thomas has stepped down as acting chief executive of the Rugby Football Union after a threat of a misconduct charge for him was lifted.
Thomas was due to leave the RFU on December 16 but has stepped down with immediate effect after Charles Flint QC announced that there was no evidence to bring disciplinary action against him.
Thomas, who was criticised in the Blackett Report for his role in the hiring and dismissal of John Steele as chief executive, has been replaced by Stephen Brown, the RFU's chief financial officer.
"Stephen has increasingly taken over the day-to-day running of the RFU since I announced on November 2 that I would not be renewing my contract after December 16," Thomas said. "He has demonstrated in…

The Art of Cross-Selling: 7 Tips to Remember
Most small business owners usually resort to finding new customers whenever they think of generating more sales. This method is fine but does not work at all times. And when this happens, paying attention to your current customers can definitely help boost your sales. Exactly how? By cross-selling — offering the customers a product or service related to what they're already purchasing or planning to purchase.
Perhaps you worry about becoming "pushy and sales-y" and irritating your customers with too many sales pitches. Surveys show however that buyers in general respond favorably when told about "extras" that may fulfill additional needs or about new items that were not offered in the past. It's a way of demonstrating that you are aware of their needs and care about their satisfaction.
Here are 7 tips to keep in mind when doing cross-selling to boost the bottom line:
Understand your customers' behavior.
Determine what products or services would complement your customers' purchases based on their buying behaviors. Ask your customers whether they are aware of other products you are offering and explain the additional benefits of using these products. Make sure to follow up with customers whether they're now interested in purchasing the related product you've brought up.
Know the right timing.
Timing is crucial when you are trying to cross-sell. Don't interrupt the customer when they are still searching for a particular item. This practice messes up the user experience. Apply cross-selling after the customer has already selected something first or is trying something out.
For example, if a customer is looking at a low-priced digital camera but appears disappointed in the lack of features and performance quality, suggesting a higher priced model could be the perfect solution to address their needs.
Train your employees and sales staff.
Make sure that your employees and sales staff have the knowledge to confidently explain how other products and services help solve a customer's problem. Remind them to avoid being pushy and overeager sales pitch when cross-selling. Advise them to be subtle and keep in mind their customer's needs. Explanations should appear as a suggestion and not as a mandate.
Stay relevant.
If you try to cross-sell items or services that are not closely related to the original purchase, tendency is your customers may feel overloaded with too many suggestions and they may not be pleased at all. Stay on course and don't be too excited and bombard your customers with just anything that comes to your mind. You don't want to spoil their mood.
Make the most of your company's website.
Place images and content about related products and services on relevant pages of your site. As customers go through your site and select products or services, make it a point that the related items are visible and accessible in such a way that you educate your shoppers about what your business has to offer.
Post expert recommendations.
Recommendations from other people can also foster your cross-selling efforts. Take Amazon for instance. When you buy a book at Amazon.com, for example, the site automatically lists other books purchased by people who bought the same book you just ordered. This recommendation tactic works best if you have a large inventory or you provide complicated services. It might be the only way for you to expose all your offerings to customers.
Implement bundling techniques.
Integrated offerings give your customers everything they want with less hassles. At the same time, it increases the value per sale and reduces marketing costs. Use it to your advantage. Bundle or group related items and services together to make it convenient for your customers.
When a client wants a new website, don't just stop at coding. Offer other related services such as logo, graphics content and SEO services.
Your cross-selling efforts should focus on meeting the customer's needs and not just about pushing for additional products and service charges. You must see to it that the additional purchase from your customers gives them added value.
You might need to do some experimentation in order to find just the right balance. This is normal as you are still learning the ropes of proper cross-selling. Always keep in mind that when cross-selling genuinely benefits your customers it will give you better results.

Re: MOTUS announces its Sport Tour America dates and routes
Just got back from the MOTUS bike tour showing at RPM Cycles in Dallas.
They had two prototypes: One in the parking lot that was the 'rider' on their tour, and a second on the show floor.
The prototype 'rider' bike had all sorts of data acquisition equipment hung all over it to record everything from chassis info to engine and engine management info.
The prototype inside on the show floor was setup with the bags and top-box, definitely a more 'polished' for show bike.
It sat just a couple of bikes down from a new Triumph Sprint ST, which with its more complete fairings looked larger than the Motus.
The bike was quite small—much smaller then the Honda ST1300. Looked to be more the size and dimensions of a Ducati ST3/ST4. Much more on the 'sport' end of sport-touring.
Certainly not what Mama would want to ride on the back of for a long tour, what with the short sporty chassis and 530 lb. wet weight.
Over-all this SPORT-tourer seemed well thought out for a one-up ride. The V-4 engine looked smaller than the ST's, shorter any way, since it does not have overhead cams (push rods w/hydraulic lifters).
Also the transmission is where they make the 90º turn to the chain-drive. Transmission is a cassette style that is separate from the engine oil/crankcase, so that the 'cassette' can be easily removed.
Has a nice sound/growl through the Two Brothers exhaust—not too loud though.
The alternator sits atop the tranny, and is a conventional 'automotive' style 750 watt, also easy to service.
Brembo brakes and fully adjustable Ohlins suspension front and rear. Rear will have a remote adjuster on production bikes, just not on this prototype yet.
No ABS or electronic traction controls—not even planned for production models.
Handle bars are adjustable.
Seat is made by Seargent, fairing/windshield is minimal—three size wind-screens will be available (made by National Screens).
Heat was not an issue. Could put my hands on the frame next to the (hot) engine, even could touch the valve covers with a light-weight glove.
The lack of full fairing allows total air movement without heat getting trapped where you sit.
Motus people said the engine tune is for torque—turns 2500 rpm at 65 mph.
Over-all my lunch time proved to be a very interesting and enjoyable time.
Hope the people at Motus do well. If I had the means to, ahem, acquire more bikes, this one would certainly be unique.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy has so ingrained itself as the defining aspect of our 35th President's life (and death), that I will admit to Jackie not really having given his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, much thought over the years. I remember it being a big deal when she passed away in 1994, and relishing the twisted performance by Parker Posey of a woman obsessed with her in "The House of Yes." I remember her status as a fashion icon, and the heartbreaking images (courtesy of the Zapruder film) or her with her husband's blown out head in her lap. But I haven't really thought of her as an individual…until now. And wow, it's hard not to consider her as important to the legacy of her husband as his death was after watching Pablo Larrain's bold and unforgettable film.
The movie jumps back and forth in time, but focuses primarily on the week or two after President Kennedy's death on November 22, 1963. In particular, we keep coming back to an interview with Life magazine's Theodore H. White (Billy Crudup) as Jackie (Natalie Portman) conducts an interview which she insists on having editorial control over how she is portrayed. We see her far away from the effervescent, beautiful focal point she was after her husband took office, when she led a famous televised tour of the White House that was meant to show off the considerable restorations she did to building. Losing her husband, being with him at his violent end, and being widowed at 34 years old, with two young children to look after, is an amazing loss, and we see it on her face as she is talking to White, or going through the motions of trying to go on and plan her husband's funeral, which she wants to model after Lincoln's. Her reasoning to others is that she doesn't want her husband forgotten? Is that her honest reasoning, though?
Noah Oppenheim's screenplay is a model of simplicity digging deep, and Larrain's direction digs deep with every straight away shot, every time Portman's Jackie has to assert herself in the face of unimaginable grief. Aiding him immeasurably is a score by Mica Levi that is melodramatic and bombastic, but stunningly fitting for the film Larrain has made. This is music that you will not be humming after the film, but you will truly never forget its impact on the film, and how it takes you into the fugue state the First Lady is in after her husband's death. As Jackie, Portman is nothing short of astonishing. The accent she sports for the role is debatable on how well it works, but the emotions she wears on her sleeve are not. It's heartbreaking and heartfelt, the work she does here, and she gets great support by Peter Sarsgaard as Bobby Kennedy, Greta Gerwig as Nancy Tuckerman, her assistant, and plenty others in the cast as she gives us a personal and powerful look at a woman who set a high standard for the role she played during her husband's time in office, and wrestled with a painful moment in her own, and American, history with the strength and sophistication she exuded while in the spotlight. Like its subject, you will not be able to take your eyes off of "Jackie."

They meet on a beach. . . . Abby Davis isn't wearing a skimpy bikini or sipping umbrella drinks, not when she's busy chasing around four little ones. And Matt McKinney isn't looking for fun—he's a Navy SEAL, a grown man with a long list of missions . . . and fallen brothers.
They only have a week. . . . Abby has brought her children to this beach to start over, to give them the enjoyable memories they deserve. Matt's been sidelined by a combat injury, and haunted by the best friend he lost and the promise he made: to remain a SEAL—focused and dedicated. This leaves no time for what he's always wanted: a family.
But a week is all it takes. . . . Matt opens her heart while Abby soothes his soul. And though they plan to say good-bye when the week is over, something magical happens on that beach, something neither can forget. Something utterly, completely worth falling for.
This is a new author for me; the blurb grabbed attention and I am so happy I picked this one up!
I got lost in this book, like make you late for work, wish you could curl up all day with the book kind of lost.
Worth the Fall is story of Matt McKinney and Abby Davis. Matt was such a wonderful character, his genuine good nature had me from the first time the reader meets him. As the blurb says, Abby is a single mom and I truly loved how the opening scenes fit the blurb of Abby not sitting on a beach in a bikini but trying to care for her children; many of us can relate to having children on the beach and the nonstop movements.
Watching Matt develop a bond with Abby and her children was so enjoyable, I was truly engrossed in the story and was so rooting for their attraction to find a way to a forever love.
We do learn later in the book that yes, this SEAL has demons; ones that almost cost him everything and the way this author pulled this off was masterful.
The children in this book were adorable; each was crafted with their own identity and each with their own bond with the lead characters. There are a few times throughout this story these children brought tears to my eyes.
I also loved the use of Matt's family; the McKinney's family helped to layer this book and truly felt true to the story told. I don't want to give away how they are used but the family dynamic was so wonderful.
In the end the happy that Abby and Matt create is one that is prefect for them. The "how" such a wonderful "hero" this Navy Seals falls for the Mom is 4 truly touched my soul!
No, I am not telling you how they get there because you truly should read this book!
Can't wait for Stephen's story in Worth the Risk: The McKinney Brothers series book 2 http://amzn.to/1mQS1nj
This is a new must click series for me.
This scene comes directly before chapter 7.
Matt stood at the rail overlooking the ocean. A storm was developing and the wind whipped his T-shirt against his body. He'd started his day with an early run, had packed his bag and talked to a few guys from his team. All of that, and he'd been continually drawn to his ninth story balcony where he had a clear view of the beach. And Abby.
What was it about her? He should be on the road. Hell, he should have gone three days ago. He had things to take care of.
But even after her cold brush-off he was still thinking about her, still reliving the feel of her in his arms. He needed to check Charlie's stitches and he'd told Jack they could practice throwing the ball today. Damn it. She had him so twisted up inside he didn't recognize himself.
He tried to tell himself she wasn't worth it, that she'd just been a good distraction for a couple of days. She was a distraction all right, but it was more than that. She'd come into his arms so sweetly. He could still feel her soft body against his, could still smell her.
Then, like someone had flipped a switch, she'd gone stiff and distant. He couldn't give a shit about gratitude. His anger had more to do with his arms being left empty.
In that moment he'd needed to hold her. Just a man with bloody memories he felt painfully guilty for trying to forget. If only he could have stymied the flow of Teddy's blood as easily as Charlie's.
The flimsy plastic chair scraped across the concrete flooring. He looked at the caution flags changing direction, felt the downward blast of cool air. Brilliant streaks of lightning flashed over the ocean in the distance, but he couldn't enjoy the storm as he usually would. Not with Abby and the kids out there.
The wind pulled at the umbrella Abby fought to lower. The mass exodus had begun and people ran past her. Just leave it. Get the hell off the beach.
There was no way she was going to make it ahead of the storm. Another lighting strike spilt the sky followed by a boom of thunder strong enough to shake the ground. Way too close. She might not want his help, but she was damn well about to get it.
Matt shouldered his way through the masses, a lone figure going against the tide of those seeking shelter. By the time he got to Abby, she had the umbrella lowered and was directing the kids to catch the buckets rolling down the beach and hold on to their wildly blowing towels.
He wrenched the umbrella base out of the sand and laid it flat with their beach chairs folded on top to weigh it down. She flashed a surprised look over her shoulder then went back to her task, stuffing things in her bag as fast as she could.
When the next crash of thunder shook the ground, Gracie and Charlie ran straight into his arms. He swung them up, one on each side, and grabbed her bag. Just in time.
The skies opened up and the rain assaulted them in sheets so hard it stung the skin. Matt jogged toward the boardwalk, making sure Abby was right behind him. Annie and Jack ran ahead but another crack of thunder froze them in their tracks and the lightning struck so close he swore. "Forget the shoes," he yelled. "I'll come back for them later."
They reached the lobby of elevators along with about a hundred other guests. Jack and Gracie talked excitedly, recounting their mad rush. Annie stuck close to his side and Charlie shivered in his arms. Neither Matt nor Abby spoke, though his skin felt so tight just being this close to her it might split.
Now that he had his head out of ass and had gotten over his hurt feelings, he got it. She was scared. She'd already told him she didn't want to need anyone and although he didn't know all of it, he'd bet her childhood had been way more crappy than she let on. He'd been an idiot for letting her push him away.
Their turn finally came and Matt ushered them into the small elevator, using his body to shield Abby and the kids from more people who would have packed in. He didn't want her or the kids crowded, plus he didn't care for the way men were looking at Abby now, there eyes stopping to rest just a little too long.
The door closed and with her back to the wall, he faced her, bringing them chest to chest. Her nipples were hard against her soaked shirt and he fought to keep his gaze and his mind from getting stuck there.
There was something beyond attraction going on here. Chemistry? He'd never understood what people meant by that. Maybe now he did. Because he wasn't a boy, he was a man who'd done enough laps around the female test track to know when something was different. Merely standing close to a woman shouldn't effect him this way. But then again, Abby wasn't just any woman.
A multitude of emotions played across her face and he zeroed in on her eyes, willing her not to look away. A startled deer under the harsh fluorescent lights of the elevator, so uncertain, so afraid to lean on anyone. Dripping wet, no make up, dark strands of hair plastered to the side of her face, and still she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
She shivered and the pulse in her neck caught his attention. He wanted to put his mouth there, kiss his way up her throat and across her shoulder. He wanted to pull her against him until he felt every curve. Take those kissable lips that looked so silky soft it was driving him crazy that he didn't know first hand. He wanted—
Too soon the elevator doors opened with a happy ding, seemingly mocking him. Damn elevator.
He cautioned the kids to be careful on the slick floor then repeated the warning three more times before they reached their condo door.
With everyone safely inside he had no reason to stay, but he didn't move. Just continued to stare into her upturned face. God knows he wasn't one to stick around for uncomfortable conversations with the opposite sex. Though that was rapidly changing. "You need to change," he said. "You're shivering."
She bit her lip, looking up at him like a prisoner facing a firing squad. "I'm sorry about last night. I—"
"It's okay." He couldn't stand her beating herself for being afraid.
"No." Her gaze slid over his chest, then dropped to the floor. "It's not. I just–"
"Abby." He cupped her cheek, brought her face up to meet his and the heat of her skin burned him. "Go change. You're freezing."
Before she stepped away, Gracie bounced between them like Tigger on crack. "Matt, we bwought games for a wainy day and guess what? It's a wainy day."
When he didn't respond, she recited a long list of game choices, throwing in other enticing activities like playing hair, whatever that meant.
Abby cleared her throat. "Gracie, go change out of your wet bathing suit."
"Okay. Then we can pway."
Gracie bounded off and Matt waited and watched Abby looking anywhere but at him. Seconds passed and he reached for the door but stopped at the sound of Jack's voice.
"Matt, it's pizza night. Can you have pizza with us?"
"Umm…" As far as Jack was concerned, nothing had changed. What the hell was he supposed to do? He knew what he wanted to do.
"Don't you like pizza?" Jack asked.
"Sure I do."
Jack thought about that for a second. "Don't you like us?"
Matt knelt down in front of him, hating the hint of insecurity in the boy's voice. "Of course I do, bud." He shifted his gaze to Abby. "I'm just not sure tonight is the best—"
"You should come," Abby said.
Surprised, he waited for her to say more, but evidently that was all she could manage.
"Okay." He never took his eyes from hers even as Jack cheered. "I'll change clothes. What time should I come down?"
"Sure." Three hours, but Abby looked like she needed time to regroup, build up her walls. That was fine, because tonight, he was going over them, whether she liked it or not.

Handel: "Piano" Concertos 7-12 - Kirschnereit, Skou Larsen
Stereo/Multichannel Hybrid
Classical - Orchestral
Handel: "Piano" Concertos 7-12, Op. 7 HWV 306-311
Matthias Kirschnereit (piano)
Deutsche Neuekammerakademie Neuss
Lavard Skou Larsen
Conclusion of a Sensational and Unprecedented Edition
We are now finally presenting to you our last CD featuring Handel's organ concertos in the version for piano and orchestra. The positive response to our first two CDs in this series has shown that the transfer of the solo part of Handel's organ concertos to today's piano is a logical and obvious move. Johann Sebastian Bach's harpsichord concertos belong to the standard repertoire of all world-class pianists, and the same principle truly applies to Handel.
On our third CD the pianist Matthias Kirschnereit turns to the Organ Concertos op. 7 of 1761. These six concertos were all uniformly scored with two oboes, string orchestra, and a bass fortified by a bassoon. Now and again Handel skillfully prescribed these instruments in order to produce richly varied sound effects. John Christopher Smith, Handel's copyist and assistant, first compiled this collection after the composer's death – which means that these works, unlike the Six Concertos op. 4 (1738, 24211387) and some other »Concertos for Harpsichord or Organ« (Nos. 13-16, 23126676), cannot claim absolute authenticity.
Given the great musical quality of these compositions, however, this is no reason to keep us from listening to this music as fully valid music by Handel. Some of these works display extremely enthralling harmonic modulations and rhythmic variants. They are examples of Handel's superior inspiration and interpreted with just as much inspiration by Matthias Kirschnereit.

Review by Adrian Quanjer - October 7, 2016
Lovers of organs may have a problem here. Handel's organ concerti only sound well played on an organ, some might even add, a small one. If that is the case I suggest you forget completely that you are listening to one of them here. Try to approach the music in its own right. Matthias Kirschnereit (Remarks from the artist) argues his case in the liner notes, saying that "earlier composers perhaps would have been perfectly happy with today's developmental attainments". The fact that Handel composed his organ concerti without the use of the pedals opens up the possibility to transcribe them for the piano. And besides, Handel too arranged one of his concerti, Opus 4 No. 6, for harp.
These days nobody seems to oppose Bach's cembalo concerti to be played on a concert grand. Haydn left it open, scoring his concerti 'for the keyboard'. So, why not Handel? Another sound, a larger orchestra, no period instruments. But it is all so refreshingly different.
Agreed, a piano is not an organ; demands are different, but it would seem to me that only diehard organ aficionados will continue to oppose these transcriptions. Matthias Kirschnereit's toucher is supple and subtle; Lavard Skou Larsen's 'Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss' support is perfect. What else does one want? Give it a chance and enjoy, like I did. I now have all three volumes and I play them regularly, as I do with the original organ versions, including the one arranged for harp. It makes my musical life so much richer.

text: I need help! I'm now getting this in-rush of calls from past estimates that want the jobs installed. The only complaint (not really a complaint) is that they are really small jobs! I received 6 calls today from people that I had done estimates for in the past 1 1/2 weeks with the go ahead to install their jobs (2k - 3500). Don't get me wrong, I like these jobs in the summer because we don't have to kill ourselves all day to get them done. However, I promised all of these people that I could have their jobs done within 10 days. If this pattern continues, I'm going to have to install an enormous amount of jobs this month. I guess we will just have to do 2 or three of them per day until we get through the rush! I told you it would be like this. Any of you guys want to come to Florida for some cross training? When this is over, I may ask you to let me come to your town to do the same thing. I'm always up for learning some new tricks.

Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer is one of the two main forms of Christian meditation practices, with the intention of sitting or resting quietly in the presence of God. The group meets every Monday from 1-2 p.m., and consists of a 20 minute period of Centering Prayer followed by a shared study.
Dr. Barbara Ray will be facilitating the group. Dr. Ray is a professor of special education at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga who has practiced Centering Prayer for many years and was trained by Contemplative Outreach as a Centering Prayer facilitator in 2008. Any interested person is invited.
Weekly meetings: Mondays, 1:00-2:00pm
Cost: Donation suggested, but no one is ever turned away for lack of funds
Contact Person: Barbara Ray at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Dream Group is based on the psychology of Carl Jung who made extraordinary contributions to our understanding of the unconscious and to using dreams as a gateway to understanding the unconscious. Jung advised that the best way to start benefiting from dreams is to write them down and to wonder about them with others.
There are many ways to work a dream; in this Dream Group at the Center, the subjective method is used in combination with the group projection method. The subjective method looks at everything in the dream as a part of the dreamer. The group projection method allows everyone in the group to work the dream and goes something like this:
The dreamer tells the dream. The group members question the dreamer about parts of the dream for which they would like further clarification and then they ask permission from the dreamer to take the dream as their own. The dreamer just listens while the group members wonder about the dream in terms of what the symbols might be saying to each of them if it were their dream. Comments by the group members about the dream are always prefaced with, "In my dream . . ."
There can be "aha moments" in dream work, but more important than an "aha" is the relationship developed with the unconscious. Transformation comes, not from understanding the dream but, from the intensity with which the dream images are engaged.
Facilitator: Susu Smartt & Lisa Harrison
Meeting Date/Time: 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 12:00 noon

On Ville Leino, and Exorcising #23: A Play, of Sorts7
What's in a number?
A Leino by any other number, is still the same. Right?
Abandoning the #22 that he wore for Philadelphia, Leino made the curious decision to don #23, and for that, I could not be happier. Whether he meant to go on this mission or not, he's now out to finally rid this fan base of the greatness that once wore that number – our Hockey God, our Captain, our indefatigable leader, our Chris Drury.
Leino may find that #23 is a heavy load to carry on his back throughout this coming season, and I cannot help but speculate on the reasons why he chose to take it upon himself. There will be comparisons between him and Drury all season long – perhaps longer – by fans, bloggers, and media, should he falter or flourish.
Of course, #22 was already taken by Brad Boyes. Leino wore #21 in Detroit, #22 in Philly, so #23 just makes logical hockey sense. Right?
I can't help but think there is something bigger going on behind this decision. Call it pure fiction or fantasy, but I'd at least like to think that Pegula and Co. are backing up their promise of doing everything it takes to build us a Champion. It's unfair to say that the specter of Drury and Briere has hung over the Sabres locker room since that fateful July day in 2007, but the names, or the phrase "Drury and Briere" had become the renowned and repeated "clarion call" of Buffalo Hockey Hell: this is a place that players wanted to depart.
Ted Black issued a new call, in the press conference that confirmed Pegula's ownership of the Buffalo Sabres:
"A clarion call should go out to the league and to hockey players everywhere, that Buffalo is hockey heaven."
That's a loud proclamation, and I am sure that a lot of hard days and long nights have followed since Pegula and Black have done everything in their power to back up that call. Sometimes I wonder how those days go, behind the closed doors. Leino taking up #23's sweater had my mind wondering about that, again.
So, follow along with my imagination now, if you please, as I try to recreate the the scene:
It's July 1st, 2011, and at the Sabres' War Room Table Darcy Regier, Terry Pegula, Ted Black, and Lindy Ruff have quickly learned that they aren't going to sign Brad Richards. Pegula sits with hands clasped over the table, spinning his thumbs. Regier is on the phone, next to his owner. Lindy sits across from them, leaning back, hands clasped behind his head, concentrating his sneer at some invisible idea in the distance. Ted Black stands in the corner, holding a Labatt Light. He hasn't sipped it yet. He's just holding the bottle, standing over the scene from the corner of the room.
Darcy hangs up. "We got Leino, guys."
"Hell yes!" Pegula squeals, "did you pay him that extra mil, just so we could put an extra brick into Burke's pants?"
"Damn straight," Regier says, his brow glistening in a new, bank-rolled fever.
"Outstanding." says Ruff. He takes his eyes off the distance for a moment, reaching down for his water bottle. He takes a sip, puts this water down, and then leans back again, with his hands behind his head. "I think I'll put him with Boyes. Or Pommers. Or maybe Vanek, or…" and his voice trails off with his eyes, as they return to that far away place out there that coaches look into for Victory.
Black finally emerges from the corner, and softly sets down his still untouched Labatt. "Give him #23."
"What's that?" asks Darcy.
"Give him #23."
Pegula looks at Ruff and says "Hey, wasn't that Drury's number?" Ruff's 'stache twitches, ever so slightly.
"Listen up, fellas," Black continues, leaning over the table with both palms firmly planted on the table, at either sides of the Labatt. Even the beer is sweating. "Ever since I came into this town I've been hearing Drury this, Briere that. All this non-stop Captain Clutch whining. Our little Hockey God that left us."
"Chris had a damn good ride here," says Lindy, smiling.
"Chris isn't here, anymore!" yells Black. He pulls his hands off the table and stands up straight. "His ride in Buffalo is over. His ticket is punched. His time ended, in 2007… You want to keep remembering him? You want the fans to miss him, this 'Hockey God?' Darcy, what did you ever win before 'Captain Clutch' bolted for the Rangers?"
"Well, we did win the President's -"
"You didn't win SQUAT! Drury is done in this town. 2007 is done. It's buried to me, guys, and so is Drury. But to the fans – to that locker room? How many times do Bucky and Sully have to remind everyone about Drury, and Briere, and Golisano? This Drury and Briere thing happened four years ago. Four years ago. It's dead. It's over. We gotta' get folks to stop trying to relish the past. We need to clean the locker room of the stink of that corpse, of that "Hockey God" of ours. Then our boys can breathe. Then, we can win."
There's a brief silence.
"That new locker room is going to be amazing," says Pegula, softly.
"Yes. It is," concedes Black. "Give him #23."
Black leaves the room, closing the door behind him with nary a click. A droplet of condensation slides from his abandoned bottle to the table.
"Ok," says Regier. "So we give Leino #23. Safe to say we should scratch Drury from our list. What's next on the board?"
"VICTORY!" comes a yell from behind the door.
Go Sabres.

Light pink H&M lace cropped top | Tan suede skirt c/o Poshsquare | Nude Coach crossbody bag | Blush pink velvet sneakers c/o Qupid
Can you tell I'm currently obsessing over the color pink? It's slowly taking over my wardrobe. Growing up I've always loved wearing pink but lost my love for it growing into my personal style. But I've been getting reacquainted with this lovely color and I am so glad :). These blush pink velvet sneakers are the cherry on top — they have the perfect height for the flatform and are very comfy (tested walking throughout SF in them). Get yours here at Qupid. Also check out more of Qupid's cute sneakers for Spring, here's some I'm eyeing too -> Rose Gold and Mauve sneakers.
I decided to style these sneakers with a girly yet laidback outfit – wearing a suede high-waisted skirt with a light pink lace crop-top. What kind of sneakers are you guys loving this season?

1. To obtain estimates of the Nephrops habitat distribution in West Coast Sea Lochs, using sediment grabs and underwater cameras.
2. To obtain estimates of the distribution and abundance of Nephrops within these lochs using underwater video cameras.
3. To use the video footage to record occurrence of other benthic fauna and evidence of commercial trawling activity.
4. To collect trawl caught samples of Nephrops for comparison of reproductive condition and morphometrics.
This survey continues on from the work begun in February 2010 (cruise 0110A).
For each area within the survey, a position outwith the suspected Nephrops habitat boundary will be nominated as the start point for a search path across the length or breadth of the area, which will typically be a loch or bay. Along this search path the drop frame will be deployed to provide a visual record of the seabed type, followed by a Day grab at a suitable point along the track (if appropriate). Sediment samples will be frozen. The distance between these deployments will vary between each specific area surveyed.
The search path will continue in one direction until it appears that the presence or absence of muddy sediment becomes apparent. All significant observations will be recorded on DVD as well as manually, including the muddy sediment boundary, the point where Nephrops burrows begin to appear and any signs of fishing activity.
Once an area has been surveyed to establish the extent of the muddy habitat, depending on time and weather a selection of stations will be surveyed for Nephrops abundance, whereby the drop frame will be deployed over known Nephrops grounds for 10 minutes and the number of Nephrops burrow complexes will be recorded. The number of TV stations to be completed will be determined by the extent of the muddy grounds and available time. Although using the TV sledge is the preferred method of video capture for abundance purposes, due to the high probability of creels present in the proposed survey areas the drop frame is more appropriate.
The latitude and longitude of the proposed start points for each survey area will be made available to the ship's complement prior to the cruise.
Weather permitting, the highest priority areas to be covered in this survey are:
Loch Ewe, Gair Loch, Outer and Upper Loch Torridon, Shieldaig Bay, Loch Kishorn, Loch Carron, Loch Alsh and Loch Duich.
Some further work maybe required at Gruinard Bay and Eddrachillis Bay but this is dependant on weather and available time.
It is hoped that at least two trawls can be carried out to the North of Rona, each one hour long; one within the Trawl Only area and one outside this area. A range of biological data will be collected on Nephrops and other shellfish. The trawl gear to be used is under construction at present but will be similar to previous prawn trawl gear used on Alba na Mara, although six and eight-inch disks will be incorporated on the ground rope. All enquiries relating to the gear should be directed to R Kynoch at Marine Scotland Science.
TV work will take place during daylight hours. There will be a requirement for some trawling to take place in the evening. On days where trawling will take place, work patterns will be arranged so as not to exceed WTD recommendations.

So, what exactly is the Paleo diet? Good question..
Thing is, the Paleo diet is somewhat difficult to define in it's entirety.
Unlike most "diets" that have very defined, and strategically designed nutritional rules to follow..
The Paleo diet stems more from a set of principals that can guide you on your dietary path, rather than providing you with a concise "diet road map".
Fortunately, the Paleo diet is actually pretty easy to stick with once you get the hang of it. It just takes a basic understanding of the Paleo dieting principles, and before you know it.. it won't even feel like a diet at all..
After all, we've been eating this way for thousands of years.. it should be just like riding a bike!
The upside of all this, is after just a bit of initial effort up front getting a handle on the Paleo basics, you're pretty much dieting on auto-pilot. No more calorie counting, or needing someone else to tell you the latest "dieting secrets".
When you're capable of making and understanding your own food choices, it stops being "dieting", and becomes a "lifestyle".
While it defies total definition, you can summarize the Paleo diet's basic principals by saying that it's the idea that we should eat in accordance with how humans have evolved, and just as importantly, avoid eating many of the foods that are more recent additions to the modern human's diet.
Of course, there's a lot more to it than that..
Eating Chemicals is Bad.
Seems an obvious insight, but apparently not as most Americans consume a chemical cocktail on a daily basis. Various additives, food dyes, preservatives, antibiotics, and other ingredients like aspartame, BPA, and cellulose gum are commonplace in the average American diet.
If you look a little deeper into these innocuously named additives, it isn't always a pretty picture, to say the least. Many of them are associated with cancer, hormonal irregularities, and other things that you likely want to avoid.
Eating foods free of chemical preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, and whatever else they're putting in the food, is a foundational principle of the Paleo diet, and it's importance simply can't be overstated.
The effects of these chemical additives are difficult to visualize, and therefore we're less likely to take action against them. As humans, we're much more responsive to "immediate" threats like a ferocious lion ( more likely a dog ) chasing us down – We'll most definitely respond to that threat to our health and well-being!
Well, it's time to start thinking of the chemical cocktails served up by the commercial food industry as a very hungry, heartless lion.. Avoid it at all costs.
Why are Grains so Evil??
One of the main principles of the Paleo diet is it's stance on eating breads, pastas, and other grain based foods.. These are foods that are completely forbidden from the Paleo diet, and for good reason..
Just a few thousand years ago, agriculture changed everything about the foods that humans ate on a day to day basis. All of a sudden (relatively speaking), our diets are filled with grains such as rice, wheat, barley – and eventually – potato chips and pancakes.
It shouldn't be underestimated the speed with which we shifted our diets from being based on animal fats and produce, to these amazingly cost-effective grain based foods.
To put it in perspective – as Robb Wolf would say, imagine that the entire human history is a 100 yard football field.. The first 99 yards of the field represents the time span that humans ate a more hunter-gatherer diet, and just that one last single yard represents the time we've been eating foods that were a product of the Agricultural revolution.
Our genetics, and the evolution of our digestive tracks, simply haven't been able to keep up with the onslaught of grains that are now the basis of so many people's diets. This dependence on grains is problematic for a few reasons..
Not only do grains cause our thyroid to become "shot", but they also contain Gluten and Lectins – Both of which seem to be pretty bad news in regards to our health. A lectin is actually a toxin that grains found in grains, where it serves one very important function: Lectins are an evolved natural defense against being eaten. That's right – it seems that grains are somewhat vindictive in that they have developed a defense mechanism to keep from being eaten by the big bad humans.. We, in standard fashion I suppose, have decided to completely ignore this feeble attempt by the grains and continue to not only eat them, but also base our diets on them.
Guess we really showed the them.
Gluten is becoming fairly notorious for causing an assortment of problems from reproductive issues to sever skin conditions. It turns out that a large portion of our population happens to be intolerant of Gluten. Many people have reporting amazing results from switching to a gluten free diet. Gluten is mainly found in barley, wheat, and a few others.
Many of the grain based foods that serve as a cornerstone of the average American's diet are insulin-spiking, inflammatory foods that play a considerable role in how our bodies handle insulin. The resulting inefficiency of insulin levels leads to all kinds of serious issues including diabetes and obesity. Eating a highly inflammatory diet is associated with many, if not most of the chronic illnesses and diseases that so many currently suffer from.
The Paleo principal of eliminating these foods from your daily diet, is one of the primary reasons why so many Paleo dieters have seen such great results like fat loss and improved health. For more in depth reading on the "evil" of grains check out Mark Sisson's blog post The Definitive Guide to Grains.
What you need to know about dairy.
This part of the Paleo diet is definitely not clear cut. You'll find that most Paleo dieters steer clear of anything that even remotely resembles dairy, while others only eat eggs, or maybe some have the occasional glass of raw milk..
So who's right? Does the Paleo diet allow eating dairy or not? Well, strictly speaking.. No, dairy isn't "Paleo approved", but in the end it's up to you to decide for yourself whether to completely eliminate dairy from your Paleo diet.
One things for certain, don't quit eating Omega-3 rich cage-free eggs. Many people consider eggs and dairy, and just to clear up any potential confusion, eggs should be an absolute staple in your Paleo diet. As for cheese, milk ( preferaby raw ), cottage cheese, etc.. Most of these foods should be avoided, but like noted above, many people choose to continue eating dairy.
Whatever dairy products you do continue eating, be sure to get them fresh from the farm.
So, what can you eat?
Tons of the most delicious, and nutritionally-dense foods that nature has to offer. That's what.
Too many people stress giving up grains and dairy and forget about the ridiculous amounts of delicious fruits and vegetables that are available to most of us year round. I'll take a perfectly ripe mango over a pint of ice cream any day.
Yeah.. I admit – it's difficult (to say the least) when you first entertain the thoughts of giving up breads and pasta, but it's really just a mindset shift – because your body prefers more efficient nutrition.
If you think that eating unhealthy foods is a hard habit to break, then wait until you develop the habits of eating foods that optimize your brain and body's performance. Healthy habits are also addictive.
At a certain point, you can't even fathom why you would have ever wanted to eat that fast food burger in the first place. because you know the feeling you get after you eat a piece of wild caught salmon, and a fresh greens salad.
So try to not think of the foods that you can't eat, think of all the amazing foods that you are lucky enough to be able to eat:
- Grass Fed Beef
- Wild Caught Salmon and other Fish
- Fruits & Vegetables
- Free Range Eggs
- Healthy Fats in the form of Nuts, Oils, etc.
- Sweet Potato

Do I have to Count Calories??
Nope and Nope.
See, when you eliminate the abundance of simple sugars and grain based carbohydrates from your diet, you're taking your foot off the "gas pedal" of your metabolism..and it's in serious need of a pit stop. When you keep your foot on the gas pedal of your metabolism by eating grain and sugar carbohydrates, you're eventually going to burn out your body's carburetor, or your thyroid.
When you eat foods that aren't causing your body to be in metabolic over-drive, you become much more efficient at using the nutrient dense foods that you're eating. Not only that, but you're eating foods that contain ingredients that our bodies actually have a use for, therefore – you can eat more of them without storing them as fat.
So while the Paleo diet may require you to "give up" donuts and bagels.. You won't be starving while you're munching on carrot sticks all day. Lots of hearty, filling, delicious food in the Paleo diet.
So, in a sense, the Paleo diet is like getting the benefits dieting, without actually having to diet.
Getting started..
The best thing that most people can do to get started with the Paleo diet, is to eliminate ONE thing from your diet RIGHT NOW that isn't Paleo.
Whether it be the Dr. Pepper you have at lunch everyday, or a slightly bigger commitment of giving up all breads and grains.. Just commit to give up that one thing starting this very moment.
After that – Join the paleoIQ newsletter by entering your email below, and we'll get you started off on the right foot with our free Paleo food list and guide..

I was really looking forward to the Ventura County Fair, which continues through Aug. 15. I hurt my knee Sunday night, and will be going a little slower for the next few days until it either gets better or I get faster on crutches. I hate to miss the fair, because when I was a kid few things caused more excitement at my house (well, for my sister and me at least) than the annual county fair. For one week each October everything else became secondary as the rides, exhibits, games of chance, sideshows and "fair food" took over our

text: Strep is called known as strep throat, or tonsillitis. Its a painful bacteria infection that causes the tonsills to become red and inflamed. The symptoms range from headache, sore throat, fever and blisters or pus on the tonsills. Usually strep throat will clear up on its own accord, but there is occasions when the bacteria needs antibiotics to clear it. You need to see the doctor immediately if the throat is very swollen and you cannot swallow properly or your having problems breathing. A doctor will usually take a swab of your throat just to make sure you don't have anything nasty lurking in the back of your throat.

Better than honor and glory, and History's iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men. ~Richard Watson Gilder
Memorial Day weekend – the weekend that launches summer. Schools are out or will be soon. Seniors are graduating and getting ready to grab life by the horns and see what's next. Some young men and women came to that stage of life during a time of war. Their next thing was joining the military and fighting for freedom and their country. Many gave their all. This sign I saw at the traveling exhibit of the Vietnam War Memorial tells it all. The toll of dead and wounded and missing number in the thousands in every war.
But a picture like this one brings home that truth in gut wrenching fashion. Row after row of crosses mark the graves of our soldiers who stepped up to the line for their country and did not come home. Tomorrow, Memorial Day, our nation pauses to remember and honor those soldiers.
heroes are dead. They died for liberty – they died for us. They are
at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they
rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the
tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the
shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in
the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars – they
are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they
found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living
and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead. ~Robert G.
My father didn't serve in the army. He was exempted from the military in World War II because he was a farmer, but I've known many men, including two of my uncles and two of my husband's uncles, who did serve our country during that war. Then young men of my generation faced the challenge of the Vietnam War and many served with honor and courage. Still now, men and women are putting themselves in harm's way to defend our way of life and fight for freedom. May we ever keep them in our prayers.
Do you have family members who have served or who are even now part of the military serving our country?

Garden Pond>
Pond Water Care>
JBL PhosEx Pond Filter
Why are phosphate compounds not wanted in a garden pond? Phosphor (phosphate), a vital plant nutrient, is lacking in natural waters (0.001 – 0.01 mg/l). Plants have adapted to this deficiency through long evolution and therefore need very little phosphor for growth. Phosphate is therefore a limiting (inhibiting) factor for plants and also algae growth in water. Accumulations of phosphate compounds, in garden ponds often up to 10 or 500 times the natural level, lead to an explosive increase in unwanted algae, particularly floating and thread algae, but also blue-green algae, to which bacteria belong. Regularly checking the phosphate content of the water using the JBL Phosphate Test-Set PO4 sensitive is recommended. In the garden ponds, levels to a maximum of 0.05 mg/l can be tolerated.
JBL PhosEx Pond Filter -reliably eliminates the algae nutrient phosphate in garden pond water
+ eliminates the basic nutrients of all types of algae, preventing the growth of unwanted algae
+ significant reduction of high phosphate levels after only 24 hours
+ effective for about 3 months
+ for all pond filters with filter material container
+ includes net bag for individual dosage
+ does not release aluminium or other undesired substances
Use of JBL PhosEx Pond Filter:
Before using the first time briefly rinse out the net bag containing JBL PhosExPond Filter under running water to remove any particles of dust which unavoidably occur during transport. Place the net bag with JBL PhosExPond Filter between the filter materials of your pond filteror, if available, in the chamber provided for special filter materials. Renew the JBL PhosExPond filter when increasing phosphate levels are measured. 500 g for 5000 l pond water, 1000 g for 10.000 l pond water, 2500 g for 25.000 l pond water.

NAT Test at Anonymous Clinic
Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAT) is the newest technology available at Anonymous Clinic to determine your HIV status after the possible exposure to the infection. New, safe and extremely accurate, with NAT you can now know your status much earlier, shortening the window period between the infection and detectability of disease. Most people who is infected with HIV will be diagnosed by NAT after 7 days of possible exposure.
Dr. Jintanat Ananworanich explains about NAT Test at TRCARC
See newest technology functional at the NAT laboratory, Aptima Room at The Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre that helps you know your HIV status for FREE
Did you know that an estimated 1 out of 3 MSM in Bangkok are infected with HIV but discover at a later stage. Taking an HIV Test doesnot not change your HIV status, rather early diagnosis of an HIV infection increases your chances of keeping the body's immune system stronger and stay healthy for a long time with the help of antiretroviral treatment medication that controls the virus from replicating and helps your immune system recuperate.
Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) is a method of testing blood that is more sensitive than conventional anti-HIV tests that require the presence of antibodies to trigger a positive test result. NAT works by detecting the low levels of viral genetic material present when an infection occurs but before the body begins producing antibodies in response to HIV.viruses such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Previous conventional testing methods involved the detection of antibodies that the body produces in response to an infection. The main problem with these methods is that the body took a certain amount of time to produce detectable amounts of these antibodies. This period of time, from the time someone is infected, to the time that they have produced enough antibodies for the laboratory to detect, is called the "seroconversion window" or the "window period".
NAT significantly reduces the window period'' or the time between donor HIV exposure to the virus and the appearance of positive test result.antibodies. By decreasing the window period, it allows for earlier detection of the infection and thus further decreases the possibility of transmission via transfusionto others. The advantage of NAT is that it is sensitive and specific! HIV can be detected on average 60 days sooner than previous antibody testing, and HIV can be detected on after only 5 days of exposure, average 2 weeks five-days sooner than previous anti-HIV tests.
Unfortunately, there is no test available that can detect viruses immediately after someone has been infected, but NAT has dramatically closed that window. As newer technologies become available, you can be assured that Anonymous clinic will be at the forefront, offering maximum care and support as well as accurate testing to keep you healthy.
