How to Write a Novel in 25 Days
I'm writing a story for the Love Inspired Blurb to Book Contest. In March I sent in a hundred word blurb with my first page. Among the hundreds of submissions, the contest judges chose twenty five in the historical category to move on to the second round, and I was one of them (so was Erica!). I then submitted a full synopsis of the story and the first three chapters. On May 15th, the judges announced the top ten authors moving forward, and again, I was thankful to be chosen (so was Erica!). Now the full manuscript is due on July 15th.
Since I have another story releasing July 1st, and a writing retreat at my house starting July 8th, I needed to get my first draft finished as soon as possible. I still need to make revisions and edits, and I still need enough time for my critique partners to read it and give me feedback.
So how did I get it finished in 25 writing days? Today I thought I'd share my writing plan, in case you're curious or you'd like to give it a try (this would work great for NaNoWriMo).
1. Brainstorm
This is one of my favorite parts of writing a novel. I love to sit down and think of all the possibilities. It's even more fun when I can brainstorm with my writing friends. If I can't, I'll often pick the brain of my husband, mother, sister, friends, or even my daughters. It's amazing how many ideas you can generate. I usually give myself a good week to pull together all my brainstorming notes. With this contest, I was able to brainstorm a little with my critique partners before I sent in my first entry, and then I had time between the judges' announcements to brainstorm.
2. Plot
I'm a plotter, but I also let the story take me unexpected places when I'm writing. To get a story written in 25 days, I had to plot this one out pretty extensively. I have a spreadsheet with all the elements I need to include in each story I write. For instance, in the first chapter, I need to make sure to show the home world, the inciting incident, (for Love Inspired) the hero and heroine need to meet, and so on. My spreadsheet it my best friend while I write. When I get writing block, I simply go back and look at what I have coming next and it's already there. I had to plot this story during the second stage so I could write a full synopsis. Having the plot in place definitely helped me write as quickly as I did.
3. Schedule and Daily Word Count
After each scene is created in my plotting spreadsheet, I make a schedule. For my other stories, I try to write one scene a day, five days a week, for a total of 7,500 words a week. But for this story, I have a much smaller window of time to complete the first draft. I chose to write two scenes a day, six days a week, for a total of 18,000 words a week. I was aiming for about 72,000 words total, so that meant it would take me four weeks to write the story.
4. Sabbath Rest
I always give myself at least one day of rest in my writing schedule. Usually, I take two days off a week, but since this was a special situation, I only gave myself one day off. This is so important. There's no better way to refuel than to rest. I try to unwind with my family around a campfire or watching a little television. Anything I enjoy away from writing.
5. Perseverance, Determination, and Diligence (which means: write, even when you don't feel like it!)
This is probably the most important element to finishing a story in 25 writing days. There are definitely moments when I don't feel like writing, but I do it anyway. There's no secret formula or magic potion to make this happen. It's just pure dedication.
6. Keep Notes
I have to keep something close by to take notes, because inevitably, I'll be driving down the road and I'll get a revelation about my story. I've found if I don't have something handy to take notes, I'll forget. Often, this is my iPhone and I can just speak into the notes app. When you're writing a story in such a short time frame, it's almost always on your mind. This is a good thing (most of the time!), because it means your brain is working on your story, even when you're not sitting in front of your computer.
7. Read the Previous Day's Work and then Keep Going!
I've found the biggest time sucker is re-reading large portions of story I've already written. If I do this, I tend to start editing and I don't get in as much word count for the day. My trick for this is to simply re-read what I wrote the day before (and only that much), making small corrections as I go, and then move forward to get my word count in. There will be plenty of time left over to re-read the full manuscript later.
8. Sacrifice
This is the hardest one sometimes. It means, instead of watching television at night, I write. Instead of doing something I might enjoy with my mom and sister, I write. Instead of...I write. I usually volunteer at VBS, but this year I had to pass. I also had to back out of a few things I really wanted to do, so I could find the time to write. I never want to sacrifice time with my husband or children, so that means other things have to go.
So there you go! Eight tips for writing a story in 25 days. It isn't easy, and my husband will tell you the laundry has piled up and the toilets need to be cleaned, but surprisingly, I've still been able to do a lot of fun activities with my children, and wrap up the end of our homeschool year.
I usually devote three hours a night, after the kids have gone to bed, to get in my 3,000 words a day. Some nights it's a little longer, and some a little shorter. Some days I'm able to sneak in my word count earlier (like this week while my kids are at VBS for three hours every morning). The trick is to be flexible, which I suppose could be number nine above.
Your Turn: If you're a writer, have you ever participated in NaNoWriMo, or written a book in a month? If you have, what are some tips you've found helpful? If you're a reader, what surprises you (if anything) about the writing process?

Great tips!! And great job getting your story completed!! Good luck!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Natalie! Are you a writer?Delete
You're writing way faster than I am! :) I'm getting there steadily, interspersed with contest judging, book promotion, and life in general. I'm counting on the fact that the closer to the end of a story I get, the faster I write. :DReplyDeleteReplies
I have so much going on in July, I had to write fast. I'm generally a fast fast-drafter, anyway--but this one was really fast. :) I finished my last novel (107,000 words) in about seven weeks. But, yes, life and other responsibilities tend to get in the way. Good luck, Erica!!Delete

Congrats, Gabrielle - a lot of writing in a very short amount of time!! I knew very little about the process of writing a book a couple of years ago - when God led me to become an encourager of Christian Fiction authors. In reading their posts re: writing, I discovered so much in a very short period of time: a lot of plotting, research, edits, promo, and many other tasks are involved in addition to the time devoted to the actual writing; most writers wait years before ever having their first published book; most authors don't become wealthy from their writing; etc., etc..ReplyDelete
I found that writing isn't for "wimps", short and simple. I've read many writers/authors comment that writing is something they feel compelled to do - regardless of financial gain, reader following, or fame, etc.. If they're Christian Fiction authors, their writing is led by God - or should be - and in addition to entertaining and educating the reader, I've found that many have goals of using their writing to inspire by helping readers become aware of/understand other's problems and the need to reach out, realize the need for a deeper relationship with God, and/or aware of the way following God's plan for one's life works to their good.
My emotions while reading Christian Fiction have run the gamut from tears to anger, to laughter. I have been inspired numerous ways - the greatest being spiritually, experienced joy and peace, been educated on so many topics, etc.. Christian Fiction is a blessing in my life - for which I thank God continually, and wish to thank the many authors whose words have spoken to my heart!!

Seat Belt Safety for Tweens (ages 8-14)
This new campaign aims to increase the consistent and proper use of seat belts among tweens (ages 8-14). The goal is for our kids to develop good seat belt practices that will stay a habit into driving age and adulthood.
These campaign ads and information target parents and caregivers of tweens, feature common family driving situations and highlight the challenges that parents and caregivers can face when trying to ensure the safety of all passengers.
Main message: Don't negotiate on seat belt use. Life as a parent is full of compromises, but seat belt safety for your tweens is not up for negotiation. Ensure your tween is consistently and properly buckled up, the whole ride–every time.

CV and Application Advice
Making the most of your appointment
Before attending...
We strongly recommend that you read through the relevant helpsheets and other resources we provide for tips and guidance on recommended structure, format and content of different application types and advice on how to analyse and promote your skills and experience based on a particular recruiter's requirements.
Throughout the year, we also offer a range of workshops, talks and other events which can provide an overview on writing successful applications so it's worth booking on to these even if you're not yet writing a specific application.
Visit our CVs and Applications page for more information on these before booking to see an Applications Adviser.
Our Location
Applications Advice appointments take place at UCL Careers - make sure you know how to find us. Arriving late for your appointment will lead to a shorter or cancelled appointment as detailed below.
Things to bring and Print@UCL
Appointments can be more effective if the Adviser can make notes on a paper copy of your application. We have PC / wifi access at UCL Careers or, any relevant documents can be sent to your Print@UCL account in advance and collected from our printer when you arrive - please aim to arrive early so you don't waste any of your appointment
time printing.
Graduates who don't have access to Print@UCL can email us in advance with requests for printing.
SHORT GUIDANCE - Would careers advice be more useful?
if you're unsure about your career or further study options and don't
yet have an application written for something specific, a Short Guidance
session will be more useful than Applications Advice.
appointments can be used to explore options in terms of what areas your
skills, experience, qualifications and interests might be suited to rather than providing tips on how to improve a CV.
What we don't / can't cover?
The Applications Advisers will not write your application
for you so you should use the resources and/or events suggested above
before booking to ensure you have a well written draft before meeting them.
We're also unable to provide advice on an application without knowing what it's being used for as content / structure is likely to vary based on a particular recruiter's requirements.
We cannot
therefore give advice on a "general CV" without at least having some
idea of who it's being sent to and why.
Spelling, grammar and general proof reading
As the advice concentrates on the content and relevance of an application for the target area of work or study, while we may point out grammatical or spelling errors in passing, it is our policy not to proof-read applications, nor to give detailed feedback or coaching against English Language competency. Such coaching falls beyond the remit of our specialist area.
This also means the sessions aren't designed for repeated checks of the same application or multiple applications which are similar in content to make each one word perfect.
Where the English demonstrated in applications is clearly unlikely to meet recruiters' requirements, we would encourage students to take advantage of the wide range of English language courses offered by UCL Language Centre. Our downloadable Spelling and Grammar Guide can also help with common errors.
UCLU also offer a Writing and Language Support Programme (WaLS) to assist non-native English speaking students with their academic writing and speaking.
You could also show the application to someone whose first language is English to proofread it or for help with spelling/grammar - e.g. a friend, work colleague, someone on your course etc.
Foreign Language applications
We are aware that UCL students go on to live, work or study in a wide range of countries. However, we are only able to read and give advice on applications written in English.
Our Work and Study Abroad page does provide links to resources with very detailed information on how application procedures/formats may vary in different countries so these can be used with the advice on content as detailed above to draft an application in English which you can later translate into the relevant language.
Appointments in your Department
In addition to these Applications Advice appointments at UCL Careers which are open to all UCL students, each Department at UCL will be linked with one of our team of Careers Consultants who may run one-to-one appointments to look at applications in your own department building to save you coming to us.
Different departments will organise these at different times throughout the year and may have different methods for booking them. Please speak to a member of staff in your department to find out if / when these are planned.
Online Bookings.
There are some departments where these appointments are offered more regularly and so can be self-booked online as detailed below using your My UCL Careers account.
These are:
- Chemistry
- Institute of Education (IoE)
- Engineering Faculty (engineering disciplines only - NOT Computer Science)
- Laws Faculty
- School of Management*
When logged in, simply select "UCL Departmental Appointment" from the Appointment Type drop-down menu instead of Applications Advice to check your department's availability.
*Within the School of Management, specific appointments are available for: BSc/MSci Management Science; Information Management for Business; MSc Management
Specialist Support for Researchers (PhD/Postdocs) and recent Graduates
In addition to these Applications Advice appointments, PhD students and recent graduates also have access to appointments which are designed to be more suitable for your needs as detailed at:
- Researcher Appointments
- Graduate Appointments (recent graduates)
These are booked in the same way as Applications Advice through your My UCL Careers account - simply select the relevant appointment type from the drop-down menu to check availability.
Phone Appointments
Due to the nature and format of these one-to-one advice appointments, we strongly recommend that you attend in person where possible.
However, if you're not based in London or will find it difficult to come to UCL Careers for your appointment, the Applications Adviser can look at your application and the recruiter's requirements and discuss these with you over the phone.
If you would like a phone appointment, you must notify us and email a copy of your application and information on what you're applying for BEFORE 9.30am on the day that your appointment is booked.
Please use: "Phone Appointment Request" in the subject line.
You will then need to call our general enquiries number, (020 3549 5900), at your appointment time to be put through to the Applications Adviser on duty.*
Please note however that we are unable to conduct Applications Advice appointments by Skype.
*Please be aware, as detailed below, one-to-one appointments do sometimes overrun which can mean some start later than scheduled so you may be asked to call back if the Adviser isn't ready when you call.
If you are late or unable to attend
If you know you won't be able to make your appointment, you can cancel it at any point up to 1 hour before it takes place through your My UCL Careers account so that it can be offered to another student.
Late arrival
Our Advisers are unable to provide effective advice on an application in under 10 minutes. Therefore, if you are more than 5 minutes late, your appointment will be automatically cancelled so that later appointments are not affected and you will be asked to re-book for a later
Repeated missed appointments
If you book and miss 3 appointments, your My UCL Careers account will be suspended to ensure you don't book and waste any more. You will then need to book on the day in person at the UCL Careers office for any subsequent appointments this academic year.
Please note: Due to the nature of 1-1 advice, some appointments can last slightly longer than 15 minutes which means we cannot guarantee that you will always be seen exactly on time. However, you should still aim to arrive on time so that your appointment isn't cancelled.
Applications Advice is only suitable for those who are in the process of applying for something specific.*
This might include:
- any type of job / internship (part-time, temporary, full-time or permanent roles)
- a work experience / work shadowing opportunity (this can include speculative applications for work in a specific area)
- a volunteering project
- a further / postgraduate study course
- a PhD position
- a scholarship or other funding opportunity
- or anything else you might be applying for
During your 15 minute one-to-one appointment, one of our Advisers will go through the recruiter's requirements with you then review your application from the recruiter's perspective.
The aim of the session is to give you a better understanding of the typical short-listing process and look at how you can best promote relevant skills and experience based on what you're applying to.
Whether your application is in the form of a:
- Covering letter
- Speculative application
- Personal statement
- Answers to specific questions on an application form etc.
simply bring in a draft copy of what you're working on PLUS details of what you're applying to / what the recruiter is looking for*.
After the appointment, if you amend your application based on the advice received and then have further questions about it before sending it off, it will be possible to book a follow up appointment(s) if necessary.
*If you're not yet applying for something specific and you need advice on exploring career options, next steps, job hunting techniques etc. a Short Guidance appointment is likely to be more useful.
Appointment Availability
Applications Advice appointments run at the same time every week:
- Monday to Thursday: 10am - 5pm (term time only*)
- Thursday evenings: 5pm - 7pm (Autumn and Spring terms only*)
- Friday: 11am - 5pm (term time only*)
- Monday to Friday: 2pm - 5pm (outside of term time*)
Appointments are available at 15 minute intervals during these times.
How to Book an Appointment
- Book online** up to 7 days in advance
- Book using your My UCL Careers account
- Once logged in, select 'I want to... / Make Appointment' and choose 'UCL Applications Advice' from the list of appointment types to check availability.
As appointment slots are pre-bookable 7 days in advance, they may not be available at short notice or for same day booking if demand is high. However, appointments booked by others may be cancelled at short notice so it's worth checking availability online regularly.
Multiple Bookings:
There is no limit to the number of Applications Advice appointments you can book whilst on your course but, to give all students equal access to available appointments, you can only book one appointment at a time. (Multiple bookings will be cancelled automatically until you've had your first appointment).
*Please check the main UCL Website for details of term dates and College closure days.
**If you are unable to book online, it is possible to book by phone or in person during our opening hours. Please see our Contact Details page for details. You will need your student ID card when booking.

Published: Saturday 27th December 2014 by The News Editor
Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea was disappointed as his side lost a thrilling battle before a crowd of 82,000 at Twickenham.
Despite having 75 per cent of possession and playing most of the attacking, Quins could not capitalise and fell to a 30-25 defeat to Northampton Saints.
"There is a huge amount of frustration as we didn't get the breaks. There are loads we have to work on but very little went our way. We gave away a couple of needless penalties and the charge down just after time, which saw them score was crucial." said O'Shea.
Despite these criticisms, Quins showed a huge improvement in their performance as each side scored three tries.
George Lowe, Jack Clifford and replacement Sam Twomey were the Quins scorers with Tim Swiel kicking two penalties and two conversions.
Saints' tries came from Samu Manoa, George North and Kahn Fotuali'i with Stephen Myler's goal-kicking making the difference as he succeeded with three penalties and three conversions.
To run the league leaders so close drew praise from O'Shea, who added: "If we play like that we will beat a lot of sides. I'm happier with that performance as it's a step forward and I believe we've turned a corner.
"We've a long road ahead though to get back up the Premiership table."
Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder gave full credit to the efforts of his opponents and said: "We were put under a lot of pressure as Quins played really well.
"They kept their patience and caused us problems when they moved the ball wide but I didn't think we defended particularly well."
Inspired by number eight Samu Manoa, Northampton raised their game in the second half to gain a crucial win.
"In the second half we got a good grip on the game through our set-piece. We didn't play particularly well but when you are away from home, you don't have to play too much rugby to get the result and it was a massive positive for us to get the win." said Mallinder.
Mallinder was also full of praise for man of the match Manoa, adding: "It was a remarkable performance from him and it was a massive boost to us for him to play the full 80 minutes. He's had a virus and has been in bed for the last 24 hours."
Manoa, who scored the opening try before creating the second for North after charging down Swiel's clearance, was at the forefront of a massive defensive effort from his team – but he played down his contribution.
"I back my boys and we back our fitness. Quins played really hard but we had plenty of gas left in the tank," he said.
With this win Northampton remain one point clear of Bath at the top with Mallinder content with the Saints' season to date.
He added: "Bath are playing really well but we are only halfway through the season. However we are where we want to be as it is important that we finish in the top two."

Halloween is just around the corner, and there is no such thing as too much inspiration when it comes to planning parties and choosing your costume. Everybody wants a costume that makes the other ghouls and goblins cheer when they enter the room, but nobody wants to spend a fortune to get that recognition. Lucky for you, I've dug through the archives of the most creative and low income years of my life and am ready to share 15 creative and cheap Halloween costumes that will help you avoid being a party pooper at your next boo bash. I have to admit, as I was looking through old pictures to prep for this post, I began to wish my college would have offered a minor in theme party attendance/design. At the very least, my participation grade would have had a significant impact on my GPA!
1. Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and the Pink Power Ranger
Okay, technically this makes the list total 16 costumes instead of 15, but I couldn't resist showing off my first puppy or my legit ninja stance, so both made the cut. I wore these costumes before my age reached the double digits; however I would still wear them today. Both are classic costumes and easy looks to achieve.
What you Need: For Dorothy you need a blue plaid dress, sparkly red shoes, two french braids, and a cute puppy named Toto. For Pink Power Ranger you just need a pink body suit with the power ranger emblem (which you can make with a few items from the craft store) and a white belt (thrift store purchase). For the grown up version, you can find a used motorcycle helmet at a thrift store and spray paint it pink!
Different Takes: You could be any member of the cast from Wizard of Oz or the Power Rangers–good guys and bad guys. Better yet, get a group of friends together and channel the entire cast as a team!
2. Pinata
What you Need: An old pair of yoga pants/tights, old zip up hoodie, two birthday party hats, and LOTS of multicolored tissue paper. I made this costume by hot gluing layers of torn tissue paper to my old clothes. It was time-consuming and took a little experimentation to find the best technique, but it was cheap and really fun!
Different Takes: You could partner up with someone if they wanted to be a piece of candy or a person with a blindfold on…Although I highly discourage you from having a bat or stick be part of your costume, especially if you are at a bar. Towards the end of the night I even tried to keep my distance from the pool table!! 😉
3. Hagrid
What you Need: Wig and fat suit(both were already sitting in a costume bin at my apartment), beard (made using a hot glue gun, doll hair, and a foam visor from Hobby Lobby–way cheaper than buying a beard), extra large shirt and pants (thrift store), work boots (thrift store), vest (glued faux fur and sheepskin to an old vest I hardly wore anyway), and belt (thrift store) with various faux fur and leather pieces I had in my craft supply at home tied to and dangling from it.
Different Takes: Just like the Wizard of Oz, you can pull together a group of friends and dress as multiple characters. I was lucky enough to co-babysit with one of my closest friends who made a really cute Luna Lovegood. Now that I'm looking at these pictures side by side, some bushy eyebrows would really take this look to the next level…hindsight really is 20-20!
4. Cruella De'Vil
What you Need: Black and white spray on hair dye (Walmart or Dollar Store), Red Gloves (thrift store or Halloween store if you strike out), Furry Shawl (we bought cheap soft/fluffy fabric at Hobby Lobby), Slinky black dress (closet or thrift store), bright red lipstick.
Different Takes: Cruella is one bad B. And completely crazy. If you have shorter hair and you can get it to stand up like it does in that scene while Cruella is driving down the mountain, you are taking this costume to a whole other level. You could also add puppies (stuffed or your friends dressed up) or those two goons that worked for Cruella to this costume to include others.
5. Ariel and King Triton
What you Need: For Ariel: Nude body suit (you can skip this if you live somewhere warm or feel good about showing that much skin) – I got mine at American Apparel, Purple material–from old piece of clothing or buy cheap fabric from a store like Hobby Lobby–for your "shells" (can sew or glue onto your body suit), shiny blue material and blue tulle for the fin (Hobby Lobby), and elastic sequin band to hold your fin in place–like a skirt (Hobby Lobby). I wore sparkly make-up and bright red lipstick. Fake eyelashes would be an excellent touch. And if your hair isn't already red, you will need to buy the spray on kind or a wig from a Halloween store.
For King Triton: For his trident we bought a cheap plastic devil's spear in the Halloween section and spray-painted it gold with some spray paint we had laying around the house. We had a wizard wig from a previous costume and bought the beard, made the fin the same way we made Ariel's, and made his crown by cutting a zigzag pattern into a sparkly foam visor to make it into a crown shape and wore it the way all the cool guys did in the early 2000s….upside down. Haha–yikes, right?!?
Different Takes: King Triton is pretty one dimensional, but you can do Ariel many ways. Use a rope to tie a sheet around yourself like a toga for the fresh out of the ocean look.If you are really dedicated and positive you aren't going to fall on your head, you could stick a fork in your hair. She also has a pretty great wedding gown, and a lot of awesome characters around her (Prince Eric, Ursala, Sebastian, and Scully).
6. Penny Lane
What you Need: Long brown suede Jacket with fur lining (I found mine on ebay for $10.00!), blue-tinted glasses (dollar store or Halloween store), jeans, cream-colored crop top, and wavy hair.
Different Takes: This was my favorite Penny Lane look and the most well-known; however she wore several cool outfits throughout the movie, and you could use Almost Famous to inspire a period piece costume that didn't exactly emulate one of the characters and still have a really cool look for the night.
7. Amelia Earhart
What you Need: Bomber Jacket (thrift store), scarf, boots, cargo pants (all three may already be owned/if not, can be found at a thrift store), pilot cap and goggles (Halloween store).
Different Takes: Obviously there is only one Amelia Earhart, but you can reuse several pieces of this costume, so don't throw out any of your purchases–add them to your costume bin!
8. Pirate
What you Need: Black base (I wore a tight long sleeved black shirt I already owned and cut some baggy, silky pants I found at the thrift store off above the knee); pink sash was found in the shawl/scarf section at a thrift store and I tied it around my waist; fishnet tights, gloves, and shirt were purchased in sale section of cheap mall chain store; bandanna, bangles, and beads can all be found around the house, in a costume bin, or purchased for cheap at a thrift store; I got the eye patch at Walgreens, and was also wearing some pretty awesome swashbuckling boots that didn't make the photo (thrift store for less than $10).
Different Takes: Being a pirate is a classic costume that can be done many different ways. I think the key is to make sure you look like a rough, dirty version of yourself…which makes the pirate a highly individualized and fun costume if you put some thought into it.
9. Flapper
What you need: If you are going to do an original version, you will need a headband, gloves, pearls, dropwaist dress (with fringe for more fun), and fishnet tights.
Different Takes: You can create a very cool and glam flapper costume if you build it yourself, and can find a lot of inspiration by looking at old pictures. You can also have different takes on the accessories you buy to complete your looks as well. When I buy items specifically for costumes—feather boa, fake pearls, hats, eccentric coats/shoes, faux fur, glasses, fat suit, wigs—I put them in a "costume bin" that sits in my closet. There is no reason to retire a costume-intended purchase after one night. Use and Use and Use again!!
10. Native American
What you Need: Suede/Leather dress (my mom snagged this from a friend who was going to throw it out) with bead embellishments and fringe at the bottom that you unfortunately can't see in the picture, Headband (I used a belt I already had and tied it around my head and stuck a feather in the back), Face paint (no joke–I used red lipstick and outlined it with black eyeliner, instead of buying face paint for this little area), moccasins (also not pictured but can be found at thrift store or slipper section of big stores).
Different Takes: You could go big with a headdress, bring a tomahawk, have more intense face paint, or channel a particular famous Native American. Natural materials are key for the materials and bright colors or jewelry will add a nice pop and livelihood to your costume.
11. Marathon Runners
What you Need: Workout clothes (you've already got them), digital watch (have it, or thrift an old/broken one), race number (easy to DIY), medal (if you've never won a medal, someone else probably did…and then donated it to a thrift store).
Different Takes: If you want to be a serious runner, you should probably get a fanny pack or "hydration belt". You can also wear headphones, sunglasses, or sweatbands. If you are a male, don't forget about the glorious era of short-shorts in sports…this is a golden opportunity to show some leg (and scrunchy socks).
12. The Themed Race Runner
What you Need: The themed runner is really just taking your marathon runner costume to a new level. There are so many kinds of races today, so adding one tiny aspects transforms your "marathon" costume into a completely different costume. What you need is everything a marathon costume-wearer would need plus one or more of the following: Mud, color, tutus, and maybe some serious-looking fake injuries.
13. Venus and Serena Williams
What you Need: You will need to find a uniform (your own closet, an athletic friend–our roommates' sister was on the tennis team, thrift store), rackets (our garage), Sweatbands (Walmart), wigs (Halloween store)–we bought the beads separately and put them in ourselves, hoop earrings (already had them).
Different Takes: We dressed as very specific athletes, but you can utilize these strategies to dress as any professional athlete. Some potential ideas include basketball players, Nascar drivers, cheerleaders, soccer players, boxers, football players, equestrian, professional wrestlers, gymnasts, etc.
14. Reality TV's Finest
What you Need: This is a broad category, but here are two examples of how my friend Sarah exploited reality TV's finest while we were in college. On the left she was dressed as a contestant from the TV show Dance your Ass Off. The sparkly dress was leftover from a Mardi Gras party outfit, and the fat suit came from my "costume bin". It is actually the same one I wore as Hagrid. In the picture on the right, she was dressed as the ever classy Becky "Buckwild" from "Flavor of Love" one of VH1's first and finest dating competition programs…Flaaaavor Flaaaaaaaave!!!!! If you are in your mid-to-late twenties, you know you know what I'm talking about. Yeah boiiiii! This was an easy costume to create that was a big hit at that time period. She wore baggy black pants and a wife beater (closet or thrift store), a trucker hat (costume bin or thrift store), and a clock necklace–which was made by blinging out an old clock with some glitter and Mardi Gras beads.
Different Takes: I realize that neither of these reality TV shows are on air today, but these costumes are great examples of how a little creativity goes a long way. Many reality TV stars have some obnoxious or outrageous trademark(s) they are known for, so pick the one you love the most–or love to hate the most–and exploit it to create a reality character-themed costume that is relevant to pop culture today!
15. Be Something Spooky
Okay, okay, I understand that this is not a human in a costume, but my mom's dog is so cute, and Halloween is the perfect time for her to flaunt her under-bite, I just couldn't resist including her bat costume. Whether you are a dog or human–wearing a spooky, scary, or disgusting costume is always going to be a hit on Halloween, and there are SO MANY WAYS you can do spooky.
Different Takes: Bats, vampires, ghosts, zombies (you can be a zombie anything by the way…zombie-cheerleader, zombie-teacher, zombie-baby..), witches, mummies…the list is very, very long and extremely diverse. You can't go wrong if you go scary, and you can harness your own creativity to make your costume whatever you want!!
Here are a few more pointers on finding/creating creative and cheap Halloween costume year after year:
Use what you already have: Several of these costumes were built with the help of items that were already owned by me. Clothes (frequently worn and that you are thinking of throwing out), costume jewelry, make up, sporting gear, and many other items are probably sitting in your dresser, storage closet, or garage. Take inventory on what you already have before you buy items you don't need.
Be a thrift store VIP costumer (Pun intended): Most clothing items and shoes at thrift stores cost less than $3, and many components of a great costume aren't going to be found in a "Halloween" section of a store anyway. If you need unique shirts, hats, glasses, shoes, bags, materials, stuffed animals, etc., a thrift store is a great place to start your hunt.
Reuse: If you do decide to go the lazy route and buy a costume that is already put together (no shame, we've all been there), don't be ashamed to wear it more than once. I wore this flapper costume at least twice, and I have lent it out to a few of my friends. And the friends that I lent it to are willing to let me borrow their stuff too, so now everyone is saving money
I need to throw a shout out of thanks to my friend Sarah, for letting me showcase her creativity and many personas throughout this post!
What are some of your favorite go-to Halloween costumes?

Luigina Lollobrigida was born in the picturesque mountain village Subiaco in 1927, as one of four daughters of a furniture manufacturer. At the age of 3, Luigina was already selected as the most beautiful toddler of Italy and in her youth she started to model. She became an art student and made her film debut in an uncredited bit role in the adventure film Aquila nera/The Black Eagle Returns (1946, Riccardo Freda) starring Rossano Brazzi. In 1947, she entered the Miss Italia pageant and came in third. The contest was won by Lucia Bosé and second was Gianna Maria Canale - both also became film actresses, though not nearly as successful as Lollobrigida.

Gina Lollobrigida was discovered by director Mario Costa who gave her a small part as a girlfriend of Adina (Nelly Corradi) in the opera adaptation L'elisir d'amore/Elixir of Love (1946, Mario Costa). She started to model as Diana Loris for the fotoromanzi, the popular Italian photo novels. She got her first bigger film part in another opera film, Pagliacci/Love of a Clown - Pagliacci (1948, Mario Costa), co-starring with one of the greatest Italian baritones, Tito Gobbi. The film, based on Ruggero Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci recounts the tragedy of Canio (Afro Poli), the lead clown (or pagliaccio in Italian) in a commedia dell'arte troupe, his wife Nedda (Lollobrigida), and her lover, Silvio (Gobbi). When Nedda spurns the advances of Tonio (also Gobbi), another player in the troupe, he tells Canio about Nedda's betrayal. In a jealous rage Canio murders both Nedda and Silvio. Lollobrigida's singing in this film was dubbed.

Miss Italia
Gina Lollobtrigida's first major success as a leading lady was in Miss Italia/My Beautiful Daughter (1950, Duilio Coletti), a backstage drama set at a beauty contest. It was followed by the delightful comedy Vita da cani/A Dog's Life (1950, Mario Monicelli, Steno) with Aldo Fabrizi, and the award winning crime drama La città si difende/Four Ways Out (1951, Pietro Germi), based on a script by Federico Fellini. In France she co-starred with Gérard Philipe in the hugely entertaining melange of swash-buckling adventure, comedy and romance Fanfan la Tulipe/Fan-Fan the Tulip (1952, Christian Jacque) and in Les Belles de Nuit/Beauties of the Night (1952, René Clair). James Travers at Films de France simply loves this outlandish romantic fantasy: "As French matinee idol Gérard Philipe is propelled through history and cardboard Freudian dreamscapes, into the arms of such beauties as Martine Carol and Gina Lollobrigida, (director René) Clair appears to have all but lost his tenuous grip on reality (the scene with the dinosaur confirms it) - but who cares? This is a film which, like Clair's earlier comic masterpieces, is intended to distract and entertain, and it does that marvellously and unashamedly."

Tossed Salad
Gina Lollobrigida had her definitive breakthrough with the huge global hit Pane, amore e fantasia/Bread, Love and Dreams (1953, Luigi Comencini), in which she starred with Vittorio De Sica. This romantic comedy was nominated in the U.S. for an Oscar, and Lollobrigida herself received in Great Britain a nomination at BAFTA. The success led to three sequels, including Pane, amore e gelosia/Bread, Love and Jealousy (1954, Luigi Comencini). Her first American film was Beat the Devil (1953, John Huston). She was at her best as Humphrey Bogart's wife in this odd but endearing noiresque comedy. Next she earned her nickname 'The World's Most Beautiful Woman' for her signature film La donna più bella del mondo (1956, Robert Z. Leonard), in which she played the legendary actress Lina Cavalieri. For her role in this film she received the first David di Donatello for Best Actress. Her earthy looks and short 'tossed salad' hairdo were quite influential, and in fact there's a type of curly lettuce named 'Lollo' in honor of her cute hairdo. (In France 'Lollo's' were a nickname for breasts).

Gina Lollobrigida made another Hollywood appearance in the circus melodrama Trapeze (1956, Carol Reed) between Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. Next she starred as Esmeralda in Notre Dame de Paris/The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1956, Jean Delannoy) opposite Anthony Quinn as Quasimodo. In 1959 she lured Yul Brynner in the Biblical epic Solomon and Sheba (1959, King Vidor). One of her most popular Hollywood films was Come September (1961, Robert Mulligan), in which she played the never-contented mistress of Rock Hudson. For this lightweight comedy she won the Golden Globe as 'World Film Favorite'. She co-starred again with Hudson in Strange Bedfellows (1965, Melvin Frank) and in 1968 she starred in the enjoyable screwball comedy Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell (1968, Melvin Frank), for which she was again nominated for a Golden Globe and won a David di Donatello award, the Italian Oscar.

Fidel Castro
On TV, Gina Lollobrigida was seen in the mini series Le Avventure di Pinocchio/The Adventures of Pinocchio (1972, Luigi Comencini). She retired from acting in the mid-1970's, but has occasionally returned for the camera, includingh in a regular role in the American soap opera Falcon Crest (1984). She has used her celebrity to sell cosmetics, published two books of her photography, Italia Mia (1973; My Italy) and Wonder of Innocence (1994), and created sculptures. In the mid-1970's she wrote, directed and produced Ritratto di Fidel/Portrait of Fidel, a very personal 50-minute documentary about Fidel Castro that included a rare interview with the Cuban dictator, fueling persistent rumors that a romance was sparked. In 1986, she was the head of jury at the Berlin International Film Festival, and in 1999 she ran for a seat in the European Union Parliament, stressing humanitarian issues, but she lost the election. Now virtually retired, Gina Lollobrigida has not made a film appearance since XXL (1997, Ariel Zeitoun) with Gérard Depardieu. Gina Lollobrigida was married once, to Slovenian physician Milko Skofic, in 1949. Skofic gave up his practice to become her manager. They had one child, Milko Skofic, Jr., born in 1957, and the couple divorced in 1971. Next to her Golden Globe, Lollobrigida has won 6 David di Donatello, 2 Nastro d'Argento, and 6 Bambi Awards. In 1985 she was nominated as an officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang for her achievements in sculpture and in photography. In 1992 she was awarded the Légion d'Honneur by president François Mitterrand. And in 1993 her grandson Dimitri was born.

I ran over to this place today for lunch for the first time. I have no idea how a Thai place can get Pad Thai soooo
wrong. It had to be the worst meal I have ever had the displeasure of paying for. You've been warned...save your money and your time.
09/04/2008Provided by Citysearch -
Used to enjoy this place on occasion, but had a bad experience with a waitress who demanded a 20% tip. A friend and I paid individually and made an honest mistake. She could've pointed it out and asked if this was what we meant to put down. I would've gladly made the correction. Because she was demanding and rude about it, I was completely turned off and refuse to go back: There are better restaurants with polite wait staff who don't feel so entitled. Last i checked, tips were based on service and at the discretion of the customer.
04/12/2008Provided by Citysearch -
had better, but it's doable. prices are reasonable for a joint that's located in the middle of the city. still like penang's (chinatown) satay better, though.
10/03/2006Provided by Citysearch -
i was visiting boston for a long weekend, and, after walking my feet off to see the sights, thought to order in thai food. mistake.
it took an hour to get the food. when it arrived it was lukewarm. the pad thai had no flavor, was dry, clumpy and the shrimp were mealy - absolutely disgusting. the other dish (beef with hot basil leaves) was a bit better with the exception that the beef looked gray and boiled. big disappointment.
i recommend finding another restaurant.
05/12/2006Provided by Citysearch -
Since moving to Boston 3.5 years ago, we probably go to Chilli Duck once every two weeks. It is AWESOME. Everything on the menu is great - we particularly like the papaya salad, chicken satays, chilli duck, and hot basil dishes. :)
08/13/2005Provided by Citysearch -
I tried their signature dish, Chilli Duck. It was just terrible. The duck was too chewy. The sauce was just nasty. I couldn't eat, but the waitstaff did not concern. Well, I paid, and left without finishing 1/3 of the portion.
09/15/2004Provided by Citysearch -
Went here for the first time after passing through before. I had the Pad-Se-Iew Noodles, which was absolutely delicious. The servings were good even for take-out and I didn't have to wait too long. I like how all the dishes are delicately garnish, it makes eating the food so much appealing. I have to go back and try the other dishes with such a variety. Prices are reasonable and I would definitely recommend this Thai restaurant as a gem.
12/22/2003Provided by Citysearch -
I have been living in Boston for five years and was looking for an awesome Thai restaurant until just recently when I found this place!! The food is by far the best and they offer free delivery and takeout which makes this place truly a gem. I recommend any of the duck dishes (the chili duck is alittle too spicy for me), and the Drunken Noodle dish is to die for. Standards like Pad Thai, spring rolls, tempura are above par as well. Prices are alittle more expensive than some other places that say they serve authentic Thai, but very worth spending an extra couple of bucks.

They have the best green curry I've ever had. Wait staff very friendly.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I thought this might be a good forum to ask if anyone can recommend a merchant account processor. I'm building a new site using NB_Store and have been looking around for a merchant account processor, with or without a gateway. I've used Authorize.net
before and can go with that. Our dollar volume is going to be low to start so I want to avoid fees.
Any recommendation are greatly appreciated.
In Europe all the major banks use the SIPS system, which I find is a better and more secure gateway than any other...however I guess in the US this option doesn;t exist so my only experiance is paypal....which at times I think is great and at other times
I find it stinks...I finished the Authorize.Net gateway code for NB_Store and in the test website I liked it, but it does have a odd way of setting up the gateway. Some good reviews of the Google checkout have reached me, but I have not had any
oppertunity to look at this and a gateway doesn't exist for it in NB_Store yet.
If asked for my recommendation I would pick SIPS every time.....but because it needs server side API adding it's not the same kind of gateway as Authorize.Net and paypal.
Authorize.net have a list of approved resellers
here. I don't have any experience with any of them, but the official list is probably a safer place to start than Google.
Also, for some reason I have saved this link
http://www.merchantplus.com/ - I generally save such things when I've seen it recommended somewhere decent, so maybe it's worth looking at. It might have had something to do with being able to get an account more easily from NZ, where I
am, I don't recall.
There will be lots of good discussions about merhcant accounts somewhere on the internet, but you'll probably have to dig through a lot of 'best/reviews/spam' sites to find them. I find that searchign using terms like 'comparison' is a little better. If
you do find a good forum, please post it back here.
I can suggest

National Geographic Announces Global Media Sales Sponsorship Group
National Geographic today announced the formation of a Global Media Integrated Sales and Sponsorship Group. Led by Stephen Giannetti, senior vice president and group publisher of National Geographic magazines, the group will develop integrated advertising sponsorship programs utilizing all the assets of the National Geographic — magazines, television, giant-screen films, digital media, maps, games, music, radio, mobile and exhibits.
"Our goal is to create effective multi-platform marketing programs for our clients while also promoting the Society's mission of inspiring people to care about the planet," said John Q. Griffin, National Geographic's executive vice president and president of publishing.
The group will focus on three primary areas of business: travel, entertainment and brand extension. In the travel category, Dawn Drew will move from her current position of vice president of Traveler magazine to assume the role of vice president, travel, for Global Media Integrated Sales and Sponsorship. Drew had many successes at Traveler magazine, creating integrated travel programs boosting revenue. She will continue to build on these programs, utilizing all aspects of the Society's travel brands to develop rich, multilevel, cobranded marketing partnerships.
In the entertainment category, Shannon Hebert will become vice president, entertainment, for Global Media Integrated Sales and Sponsorship. She will develop integrated programs centered on properties in entertainment, including giant-screen films, PBS Specials, kids programming and content, and music. She also will be responsible for widening the depth and breadth of these programs, extending them into National Geographic's other assets, such as print, digital media and gaming.
In the brand extension category, Claudia Malley, in addition to her current role as domestic publisher of National Geographic magazine, will assume responsibility for developing integrated programs for companies outside the travel category. In this added role of vice president, Global Media Integrated Sales and Sponsorship, Malley will identify companies that are engaged in marketing and sales activities that closely relate to the Society's mission and will develop integrated partnership programs for these like-minded clients.

The present application claims priority upon Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-259190 filed on Sep. 4, 2002, which is herein incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for updating security information, and to a client, a server and a management computer for use in the method.
2. Description of the Related Art
As shown in
As shown in
Examples of the content of the file system stored in the storage include file attributes (see
The security software shown in
A virus pattern file and a signature file are included in the policy file. The virus pattern file is used in virus countermeasure software called anti-virus software. The signature file is used in network attack countermeasure software called a host intrusion detection system. The anti-virus software inspects files, periodically or while a file is open, for the presence of computer virus infections on the basis of a pattern indicative of the characteristics of a computer virus, and appropriately takes necessary action. The host intrusion detection system identifies a network packet called a signature, detects attacks through the network, monitors e.g., a log file that the implemented application program outputs, and detects attacks.
The policy (security policy) referred to herein is security information generically naming limitations relating to use of a computer. In other words, the policy includes not only information for prohibiting the implementation of specific applications and preventing changes to settings, but also various kinds of software.
Next, the updating of the policy file in the network environment will be described. As shown in
In the above conventional technology, the policy file is stored in a storage equipped with the client. Thus, the policy file naturally cannot be updated while the operation of the client is stopped. For this reason, access control, virus countermeasures, etc., cannot be conducted in the latest state during the period of time until the policy file is updated.
As shown in the flow chart of
Moreover, in relation to updating of the policy, updating of the policy must be implemented with regard to each of a plurality of clients, and the entire management burden of each client becomes enormous.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for updating security information even when operation of the client is stopped.
In order to accomplish the above and other objects, according to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for updating information on security, in which the client is connected with a server through a network, with the server including a storage device that is managed by the client, the storage device storing security information of the client, the method comprising updating the security information of the client stored in the storage device that the client manages in the server.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a client connected to a server through a network, the server including a storage device, comprising means for managing the storage in the server, the storage device storing security information, the security information being updated without operation of the client, and means for referencing the security information of the client.
According to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided a server connected to a client through a network comprising means for communicating with the client through the network, and a storage device that is managed by the client, the storage device storing security information to be updated.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention there is provided a management computer connected through a network to a server, the server including a storage device that is managed by a client, the storage device storing security information of the client, comprising means for communicating with the server through the network, and means for updating the security information.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
At least the following matters will be made clear by the explanation in the present specification and the description of the accompanying drawings.
A client is constituted by a so-called diskless computer that does not include a local hard disk device. In the present embodiment, this client will be called a "diskless client."
As shown in
Similar to convention, the diskless client 100 is equipped with a CPU 110, a memory 120, and a network interface 130. An OS 121, security software 122, an application program 123, and a network storage driver 124 are read out from the server 200 and deployed in the memory 120. The diskless client 100 gives to the server 200 the function of a storage device as disk images 230.
That is, the diskless client 100 does not include a local disk device, but is mounted with a hard disk device (storage, storage device) of the server 200. The network storage driver 124 of the diskless client 100 controls the disk of the mounted server 200 via the network.
The server 200 includes a network interface 210 and a CPU 220, and also includes a plurality of hard disk devices that each diskless client 100 manages. The server 200 may also operate on, for example, a RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) format. The disk images 230 that the diskless client 100 uses are stored in the hard disk device. There is a disk image 230 present for each diskless client 100. The disk images 230 are file groups that are the same as the ones stored in the storage (hard disk device) of the conventional client shown in
That is, the disk images 230 that the diskless client 100 uses are an OS configuration file group 231 relating to the configuration of the OS, a policy file group 232, and a group 233 of other files. Security information that is the same as that of the aforementioned conventional technology is included in these file groups 231 to 233.
That is, the policy file 232 is constituted by the aforementioned access control information, the virus pattern file, the signature file, and the like. The group 233 of other files includes the application program 123, data files that software and/or programs use, and the network storage driver 124. Additionally, various file management information shown in
The management computer 300 includes a CPU 310, a memory 330, a network interface 320, and a storage 340 that is constituted by a hard disk device. An OS 331, management software 332, and an application program 333 are deployed in the memory 330. Various file groups 341 to 343, such as an OS, management software, an application program, and data files, are stored in the storage 340. The management software 332 uses the management software file group 342 to update the content of the various file groups 341 to 343 in the disk images 230 of the server 200, i.e., the security information, to update them to the latest versions.
After updating of the policy has been concluded, the diskless client 100 starts up (S220). Specifically, when the diskless client 100 is turned on, an IPL (Initial Program Loader) is started up. A basic OS is called up from the disk images 230 of the server 200 through the network by the action of the IPL, and the basic OS is deployed in the memory 120 of the diskless client 100. The diskless client 100 begins operation as a computer by the deployed basic OS beginning operation (S230).
Services resulting from the network connection and various pieces of software are started by the control of the started OS (S240), whereby it becomes possible for the diskless client 100 to transmit and receive data through the network. When the diskless client 100 that has begun operation receives input of authentication information such as the ID (user name) and password of the user, it checks these with authentication information registered within the files groups 231 and 232 within the disk images 230 of the server 200. When the validity of the authentication information including the group ID (group name) has been authenticated as a result of the checking, use of the client by the user is made possible.
Additional access control for raising security by the security software 122 will be described in a case where the application program is operated by the diskless client 100. The security software 122 is software added to the OS in order to strengthen the access control function. The security software 122 conducts precise access control for further raising security on the basis of the access control information described in the policy file. Detailed attributes, such as users, applications, and periods of time of day, are specified in the policy file as conditions permitting access to files that the application program and the like use.
That is, as shown in the flow chart of
Although an embodiment of the invention has been specifically described on the basis of that embodiment, the invention is not limited thereto and can be variously altered in a range that does not deviate from the gist thereof.
The following effects are provided with the embodiment of the invention.
The disk that the diskless client manages and uses is mounted on the server on the network. Additionally, the disk images of the client including the policy (security information) and files are stored in the disk mounted in the server. The management computer updates the policy in the disk images.
Thus, regardless of whether or not operation of the client is stopped, the policy (security information) can be updated as needed. Therefore, updating of the policy is already concluded at the point in time when the stopped client is started up. Thus, the client is operated according to the continually updated policy.
Even in a case where a plurality of clients mount disks on a single server, updating can be accomplished simply by updating the policy of the server. For example, the policy of the server is updated through the management computer. That is, there is no need to implement updating of the policy with regard to each client as has conventionally been the case, and the management burden of each client can be greatly reduced.
Even when operation of the client is stopped, the security information can be updated.
Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from spirit and scope of the inventions as defined by the appended claims.

Does anyone have any? Thank you.
I don't have a coupon code but I do have a Kiehl's tidbit to share that was news to me. I recently discovered they offer a recycling program. If you return 3 empty jars/bottles to their store you can receive ANY product up to a certain ounce (maybe 6oz???) for free. I recently returned an empty small jar of face cream and 2 empty eye cream jars to receive a HUGE moisturizer valued at almost $70 for free. They couldn't have been nicer either.
Wow, thanks for sharing!
....I will definitely have to remember that, too bad I thrown away the empties in the past - i do have one body cleanser that is just about empty, I will hold on to that one for sure!!!
Wow. Thanks. I'm going to keep that in mind.
really??? i heard about that once too, but when i called up kiehls in georgetown (i guess this was back in october??) they said it was offered in april of last year for earth day, and that was it...hmm...i'm going to give them a call up now and see if anything has changed. i'd love to try out the new biological peel!
I took my empty bottles in late last year and didn't get anything for them. I think it was a special promotion.

I always like to look at handicrafts like that!ReplyDelete
Those two Russian pink ladies yesterday made for a fun photo at your local mall!
Love your blog music!
happy weekend
hi missy, are those materials like straw hats of some sort, like Banigs in our country?! ^-^ReplyDelete
i like its unique design and craftsmanship.
Hi sissy. Those are made of dried date palm leaves.
You can find similarly shaped pot covers in north Africa, with a difference, they are made of clay over there.ReplyDelete
Heheheh, you and me both,always ask info. Your posts are very informative, you are the best tour guide of Al Ain.ReplyDelete
hi missy, haha, halatang di binabasa yung post mo. ^0^ReplyDelete

A toy story...
Lima Travel Blog› entry 45 of 53 › view all entries
January 8th, 2010 – by: yadilitta
Mom didn't notice that until a couple of days after I discovered this new toy, hehehe. It wasn't until grandpa mentioned it, that she found out what was going on. Well, first of all the brown dog, wasn't brown anymore. At least the whole body and he "missed" his ears and Christmas hat. When mom found the new "creature" on the yard, she started to laugh although she was trying to give me a lecture... the thing was looking funny, hehehe.
I have a toy chicken - one without feathers - and mom thought that the thing I was playing with was that chicken, hahaha. She needed to take a closer look to find out the true :P
It was the 1st Friday of the month, actually the year, when the grooming was working. So, mom would take me there. Past few days it has been raining, something completely unusual in Lima, specially by this time of the year. As a consequence I was dirtier than ever. I was all muddy and I know she didn't want to say it, but I was smelly... She turned on scent candles at her office... Going to the grooming was an adventure. We were walking and everything was wet and muddy. I was looking awful, but finally I'd get a nice bath. But I wouldn't let mom go like that. I left my paws printed on her pants :P
A couple of hours later she picked me up and I was looking stunning! Yes, I know it's not right for me to say these things about myself, but it's true! Yellow is a color we use here for New Years Eve and since it was my first bath of the year, I got a yellow ribbon, hahaha. Well, I called it my tie. Mom was so happy when she saw me and didn't let me walk. So good it wasn't raining anymore, but I wasn't allowed to leave the house until everything was completely dry. Looking good has benefits whit mom :)

CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, 1980. Original Ruggero Deodato Grindhouse Horror Spanish 1 Sheet (27 1/2 x 39 1/2″) movie poster for sale, starring; Robert Kerman, Carl Gabriel Yorke, Francesca Ciardi, director Ruggero Deodato and writer Gianfranco Clerici. This controversial film also known as "Holocausto Canibal" was released at a time when directors hadn't yet fully pushed the limits of western tolerance. The film was set in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil and featured indigenous tribes the Yanomamo and the Shamatari. Reggero Deodato had 7 animals killed during the making of this film. They were brutal killings, used to demonstrate the uncivilized nature of both the indigenous and the westerners invading their home and way of life.
This film became a show case for animal rights activism and following its release, animals were never again killed on camera in this manner. With over 50 countries banning the movie, it changed the film industry. Numerous Horror and Grindhouse reviews have placed this poster at the top scariest movie ever made or in the top 10. It is an immensely important film to Grindhouse and to Horror and will remain an important part of cinema history forever.
This original Deodato Grindhouse movie poster by artist Macario "Mac" Gomez, is in near mint condition with only minor fold line imprints. The poster does have a minor imperfection which is some light roughling of the upper left margin. Outside of this, the poster is flawless.

Finding a treatment center is never an 'easy' task. In Kansas City, with very limited resources, it is more daunting than usual. I never recommend choosing a treatment center from a basic Google search without doing some research and knowing what questions to ask.
First of all, many treatment centers that come up when you search for addiction treatment in Kansas City are NOT in KC. This is a marketing game that treatment centers pay big money for. They come up in the top search engine results no matter what you search for or what city you search in.
Secondly, treatment centers have their own language. Many sites recycle the same cookie cutter sales pitch that all the rest of them use. Of course, there is some truth to the cookie cutter lines. But how do you know if a facility actually follows through on what they promise? Or how do you know how hard their counselors are willing to work for your loved one? Do they go above and beyond or are they doing the bare minimum? The only way to know this information is to have personal knowledge and experience.
Thirdly, every person does not fit in every treatment center. It is SO important to have a treatment center where your loved one will feel comfortable and fit in with the people around him/her. How would you feel if you were a 22 year old Heroin addict in a treatment center with 55 year old alcoholics? I feel like this is an imperative piece of the puzzle.
Picking a treatment center because it is close, or convenient, or because it is the only option you know of is not necessarily a good approach. There are thousands of treatment centers to choose from and many things to consider when choosing. It doesn't have to be expensive, it doesn't have to be luxurious, it doesn't have to feel like jail. But we can figure out the right fit for each person.
If you only get one chance at this, isn't it important to provide the best opportunity possible?

"The 2016 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship visited Lakewood, Colorado at Thunder Valley Motocross. This is one of my favorite races as the track is really close to Denver and has a lot of fun things to do around the city and awesome food options. The course always gets super rough with very deep ruts, although this year was no where near as gnarly as last year. This track has been notorious for taking out a few championship contenders, and this year was no different with Ryan Dungey going down in the second moto and cracking a vertebrae, which will keep him off the bike for a few months. Ken Roczen continued his domination of the outdoor series going 1-1 for his second overall of the season, and if it wasn't for his fork malfunction at Glen Helen he would be undefeated. Joey Savatgy bounced back after a tough Glen Helen weekend with a 2-1 score to regain the red plate from Alex Martin, who had went down early in the first moto and charged back to eighth, and then almost passed Savatgy in the second moto. We have a weekend off before heading East to Pennsylvania at High Point Raceway, one of my favorite tracks on the circuit. See you at the races!" --TWMX photographer Ryne Swanberg

(or same sex if that's how you roll) Just curious if this differs for girls and guys. Personally, I would say that physically I find about 10% of guys in my high school classes attractive (as far as I can tell this is low compared to my friends), but I find far fewer (even of nice guys) have "attractive" personalities. Thoughts?
Most Helpful Guy
I think that I can see beauty in most women. Positive things are more likely to stand out to me.
Percentage wise, maybe 75% or something. That doesn't mean I find that percentile irresistible, just attractive/good looking women. There are still other factors if I were to be interested in them.00|00|0
