Okay I don't know you guys, but I am officially on my school break and I am so happy, I think I really need this because school is very exhausting well, for me it is. But then today was my first day in my break and all day I was sleeping, watching TV and Netflix and that's it, okay that could be really cool, but one day, maybe two and then is like what do I do now? What I will do this 2 or 3 weeks?!
Well here I have some ideas so you entertain yourself and have a great time 🙂
1) Obviously watch movies, but I am going to tell you a hint, before get all crazy netflix (I know because I have experience that haha belive me) first make a list, a simple list were you put somo new movies you want to see, a new season of tv show or something else, then prioratize, what is the thing you are looking forward to most? then make like a mini-plan so every day you can watch a movie or 3 episodes, and this way you are no like all boring but instead you are like exited.
2)The next thing is READ, it may sound boring I mean right know I don't want to read but when you start, it's great. it doesn't really matter if it is the book everybody is reading or a classic or a scientific book, the important thing is to read and is a really nice way to spend your time
3)Okay this one I don't think you will be really exited but is a great opportunity because you have a lot of time and is to clean your room and organize it. You can reorganized all your room, throw things out you do not need and more, at the end you will thank me 😉
4)You don't need to be all the time alone or in your room, another option is to see your friends make a sleepover with your bff or spent time with your parents, that is really cool and you have a lot of fun.
5) And the last thing is the best for me and is volunteering, it doesn't matter were because that depends on what you like, but when you do you will feel great knowing that you help someone, maybe a kid or a older people or a dog could it be. The important thing is to help and we as teens have this opportunity.
So in conclusion have a great winter break, have fun, be happy and be with your family in this holidays.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 😀

A Piece About The Guts & Gore of Creativity by Chris Addison
"There are two ways into a theatre..."
Chris Addison shared this blog post on Twitter this week and I'm glad it jumped out of the scrolling sea. Chris talks about how all creatives compare themselves to others but how it's nonsensical to compare your messy, gritty, frustrating, enlightening experience to the finished product of any one else. The piece made me empathise with others and importantly empathise with myself. Creating is hard. It taps into your purest self and your keenest vulnerabilities. A brilliant read.

Noticed how nowadays everywhere you look people are advertising agile coaching, scrum training, etc? The corporate world's acceptance – albeit slow – of the need to work differently has (inevitably) brought with it a plethora of startups and consultants ready to take advantage of this shift to make some money. The problem with this, however, is that everyone is so focused on buzzwords, and staying on top of the latest trends, they've forgotten what they're actually trying to achieve.
When you talk to people working in corporates, or the trainers and coaches themselves, you'll be overwhelmed by the amount of terminology they use. They're all training in "SAFe, Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Lean-agile…" – the list is endless. But, maybe it's time we focus less on the trainers and methodology, and more on what the core concepts of these methodologies are trying to accomplish. I have a few key principles that I like to make sure my teams are working towards, but today I will focus on just one (the most important one in my opinion): Communication.
Communication is a key aspect of the new world of work. With most of our day spent glued to computer screens, we hardly talk to each other. This has obviously had astonishingly negative outcomes. Firstly, even in cross-functional teams, we tend to form silos that don't communicate with and help each other. Secondly, the team loses sight of what it's trying to achieve, as every person becomes an island focused on their tasks and KPIs (don't even get me started on the topic of KPIs).
Often our natural instinct is to manage upwards. What does this mean? Well, we ensure our managers are aware of what we're doing, team cadence, blockers, etc. To meet this need, we appoint project owners to make sure that this is being done effectively. However, said project owners never want to give wrong (or bad) news to the "higher-ups", and therefore there's always a stick behind project teams to guarantee that this is never the case.
So yes, conforming to a methodology can put some good processes and procedures in place for better communication. But really, the success and effectiveness of these methodologies is reliant on communication as a behaviour rather than an output If you're practicing Scrum within your team, and the only time people communicate (and I'm not just talking about giving brief updates) is during sprint planning or retrospectives, you're not truly working towards the key principle of communication. It's essential that your teammates know what you're doing and vice versa. This way you can really assist each other and purposefully journey towards the new world of work.

Wat Arun
Wat Arun Temple is located in the west of Chao Phraya River, Thonburi Thanon Arun Amarin. This temple is also called the temple of dawn. The temple is considered as the symbol of tourism in Bangkok with the bold Thai style.
Wat Arun is one of the most elaborately decorated temples in Bangkok. The entire temple population is covered with Chinese porcelains.
If you climb the stairs to the balcony, you can see more clearly the arches and other statues. There is a narrow staircase leading to the highest balcony where visitors can see the entire Chao Phraya River and Bangkok from Rama I Bridge to the Royal Palace and the Emerald Buddha Temple. The most interesting of the temple is the decoration of the temple gate. It is built of brick and is covered with colorful Chinese porcelain.
Wat Yannawa
Wat Yannawa, also known as the Boat Temple, is located in Bangkok, impresses with its unique boat-shaped architecture built in the Rama III period, along with the Thai-style architecture of the Ayuthaya period. What the Buddhists are most satisfied with may be net beggars to pray for peace and show their respect. After the worship, visitors can ask the Buddhist monks to give the peaceful perfume. Other activities are touching the power of the Buddha and trying the spirit of the request when the hand lifts heavy iron over the top of the head.
Wat Phra Kaew
Wat Pho
Wat Pho Temple is the largest and the most ancient temple in Bangkok with the area about 80.000-meter squares. The temple owns over one thousand pictures of Buddhist, more than any other temples. The temple also has a 46-meter long and 15-meter height sitting Buddha statue, decorated with gold on the body and jade on the eyes and feet. There are 108 peaceful scenes in the style of China and India on the feet. Wat Pho temple is located at Sanam Chai and Maharaj road, near Grand Palace, Bangkok.
There is a massage school that trains massage staff all over the country in the campus of Wat Pho. Let's have a massage rest after visiting Wat Pho.
Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram
Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram is one of the most beautiful and attractive temples in Bangkok which is located at Dusit district.
The temple has some parts which are designed in European style churches, such as the stained glass windows. There is a special collection of bronze Buddha statues in the temple.
Wat Mahathat
Wat Saket
The full name of Wat Saket is Wat Saket Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan. It's also called the Golden Mountain, which is located between Ratchadamnoen Klang and Boripiphat.
The top of the yellow peak with a golden chedi of Wat Saket stands out from the distance. The 58-meter high Golden Pagoda is home to the relics of the Buddha. Built by King Rama I, at the end of the 18th century the temple was used as a place for the cremation of the capital.

Being healthier and happier - relaxing into it
"If I could just learn to relax, then I would be healthier and happier". We have heard this a few times from our contacts and clients and even bathed in these thoughts ourselves once in while. After all, we continually meet barriers which block us at every turn; at least it can seem so at times.
A friend of mine points out "most businesses are a bit rubbish" and im sure some people feel that applies to their lives. One Zen master said "nothing goes the way we think it will." This is an expression of a useful mindset rather than a statement of absolute fact.
When the challenges of life come along, what mindset or state should we strive to be in to meet them? I guess many of us would say a "balanced state" without really thinking too much about what that means or how to get there.
The truth is - relaxation - and breathing in particular, are important and beneficial in that they can calm us in the short term and draw our attention away from whatever troubles us. Unfortunately breathing alone is unlikely to work if we have ingrained attitudes and associated strong emotions. These will keep us literally stuck in our established patterns of thought and emotion.
The real magic happens with our physiology when we learn to shift our feelings - not just our thoughts.
Learning NLP techniques can provide greater awareness of your individual state and provie some leverage not manhandle your state into something useful.
Biofeedback systems and approaches are also perfect for this because they can give us guidance as we seek balance. Over time we can use feedback of our state to embed more useful mind-body states. It's good for people dealing with stress and many conditions that upset the body's autonomic system balance. It's good for athletes and artists seeking peak performance. It's potentially good for anyone with a body.
The concept of balance
When you think about it, the concept of balance is part of our everyday consciousness. We use the word liberally as part of our language. A seriously ill person's life may "hang in the balance." People talk of the need of "work-life balance." Someone who is suprised by something talks of being "caught off-balance." In front of the Old Bailey in London we can look up and see the symbol of fairness and justice - a set of balance scales.
So why is balance so important to humans? Why should we care about the idea of reintegration, and being centred and balanced?
Very simply, being centred is the key to managing conflict and making effective decisions when under extreme pressure. It's the best state to be in to manage our lives. Just consider, how could we reach any decision about the nature of a particular challange and its appropriate response whilst we are off balance?
There is a very important principle we can make use of here. Mind and body are linked. If you know how to be physically centred then your mind and spirit will come into balance as well. Likewise if your body is off balance you can regain your equilibrium almost as easily by reaching a balanced mental state.
Simple as this seems it works. The trick is to make "finding your centre" as natural as breathing; something that you do instinctively without thought. This takes a bit of practice.
Martial artists have spent thousands of years studying the art of balance. Not just to increase their technical skills in the martial arts, but to ensure that they are in the right frame of mind - a suitable state - to meet life and any conflict in a relaxed but alert manner. It is not possible to face an opponent in karate off-balance with success any more than it is possible to face a business challenge off-balance.
In the martial arts, your main balance point is located a couple of finger widths below your navel. This centre is where you should be living, whether you are under attack or just watching life flow past. And you know what - this point is a junction of time and space - an organ which is more sensitive to attack than the intellect can ever be. If we learn to focus on this point (you have heard of gut instinct haven't you?) you would be better protected than if you hired a bodyguard.
If you dont't want to be a martial artist, learn NLP or jbecome a monk - learn more about biofeedback techniques and technology. They help you get into balance. We can help

"Don't underestimate the positive impact you can have on someone's life when you help boost their confidence." – Richard Elmes
Magician Brian Miller fantastically how to Connect with Anyone
"Life is about connecting. Connecting is about taking on other points of view. You see our world is a shared experience, fractured by individual perspectives. Imagine if we could all feel understood." – Brian Miller, Magician
"Be better than you were Yesterday, but not as good as you will be Tomorrow." – Richard Elmes
This excellent post was written by Karin Hurt, CEO of Let's Grow Leaders
Great commercials, strong PR, a brilliant social media strategy all warrant effort when building your company's reputation. But there's no better PR than an army of loyal employees living and breathing your brand. You know the type–folks with enthusiasm bursting from their veins–talking up your products and services with their friends at every bar, baptism and bat mitzvah they attend.
"No, I'm telling you this works, I've seen it from the inside! This product has changed my life! Let me show you."
Or "I'm so sorry you had that experience, it's not usually like that."
Yes. Define your image. Yes, yes, advertise it. But don't overlook the power of your employees to tell your story.
Your best employees want to be part of the inner circle. If you want them to act like owners, treat them that way. Here's how.
Don't blow smoke. They know the truth better than anyone and how it's been received. Don't sugarcoat the issues. Share your concerns and get them involved to fix them.
Don't discount their feedback as "noise" really listen to what they're hearing from customers. Nothing is more disconcerting that watching employees share relentless feedback in focus groups and having execs finally pay attention when the consultant comes in and says the same thing.
Share the bigger picture and dynamics of the parameters you're up against. Creativity comes best when the constraints are clear.
"PR or HR or Staff or the VP knows best" never really plays well at the front line. Respect their perspective, and they'll respect yours.
To read the final 3 ways to turn your employees into advocates click here.
And I will add an eighth way:
Employees make decisions based on how they win in any given situation. By showing them how the companies success can help them achieve their own personal goals, you make it an easy decision to care about the companies success. When the company wins, they win.

Ghazala Akhter Reply
Parwati dear, 200 gm butter equal to 7/8 cups, still you can search these kind of conversion. toss your dry fruits in plain flour before putting them in the batter. This helps the dry fruits hold their place in the batter.

Fannie had a +30% squeeze move today on huge volume to close at $9.20.
My model has this stock with the potential to run-up to $13.02, and nothing changing in terms of its bearish formation. If it does, how many short selling geniuses out there can manage that risk?

Next Wave Fashion Tech: Sustainability & Smart Textiles/
Fashion Revolution Week is a week of campaigns and action to demand greater transparency in the fashion supply chain. It takes place during the week of 24 April, the date of the Rana Plaza building collapse, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Rana Plaza housed a number of garment factories, and when the building collapsed on 24 April 2013, 1,138 people were killed and many more were injured. The tragedy highlighted the dreadful conditions that many people in the garment industry were working in. (resource)
The campaigning organisation Fashion Revolution is working to end exploitation in the fashion industry. During Fashion Revolution Week it encourages people around the globe to ask fashion and clothing brands 'Who made my clothes?', using the hashtag #whomademyclothes. For more information and teaching resources visit http://fashionrevolution.org/education
The fashion industry is one of the world's most polluting. Reportedly topped only by oil, the fashion industry is contributing to major environmental destruction – mainly because consumers insist on buying so many clothes at such cheap prices. Alternatives do exist. The solution lies in buying less and choosing better quality items that are made as ethically as possible.
Some of the most exciting developments in fashion aren't happening on the runway — they're happening in the lab. Bacteria-produced dyes, lab-grown leather, kelp-based textiles, chemistry-driven recycling and self-heating fabrics are only some of the new discoveries that are cropping up.
So for our April Women of Wearables event, in a true spirit of #FashionRevolutionWeek, we decided to explore topic of fashion technology, particularly sustainability and smart textiles.
Our panelists
Rana Nakhal Solset is the founder and CEO of EMEL+ARIS. From her teenage years, she was fascinated with magazines, supermodels and fashion and fabrics. Ever since she went to university, the idea of technology in fashion was interesting to her. With her love and appreciation of fashion, design and fabrics she have created the perfect coat that heats and embodies all her passions.
Marta Waydel is a social entrepreneur, researcher and Influencer in the field of Fashion Tech and Sustainability. She is a Co-Founder of iKLEID - an experience platform that not only is trying to solve the problem of fashion overconsumption but also aim to activate new concepts and abilities to experiment how to better use clothes. Her main area of interests and research include Fashion Tech, IoT, Smart Textiles, Circular Economy and Consumer Behaviour.
Hasna Kourda is the co-founder and CEO of Save Your Wardrobe. She always had a strong interest in fashion both the design and the business aspects and grew up with the entrepreneurial mindset. Hasna worked in retail for a luxury brand where she found out that most of her clients didn't know or forgot what they had in their wardrobe, or didn't know how to style a particular item so they stop wearing it. She saw the opportunity to find a more efficient way to make the most of one's wardrobe and that's how the idea of Save Your Wardrobe was born.
Ann-Marie Buckley is Brand Marketing Consultant for Butterfly Twists. Butterfly Twists is a UK based shoe brand which specialises in affordable, comfortable flat shoes for all occasions. It launched in 2009 with the infamous folding ballerina shoe and last year sold over half a million pairs of shoes. Their shoes are lightweight and versatile and their point of difference is the 'Twist Tech' technology in each and every shoe - a memory foam insole that delivers great comfort and cushioning under foot.
As an 'Identity Developer 'Janne Baetsen is renowned for introducing a more human approach towards branding, design and technology. She has created MINDFASHION.today: a growing multi-disciplinary Plug-In [Re] Framework for Fashion, connecting minds in - among others - Design, Psychology, Cultural Economics, Technology and Branding, challenging conventions about the way we think, behave and communicate as well as today's definition of progress.
Joanna Dai is the founder and CEO of womenswear fashion brand, Dai. Dai is performance wear for women who mean business, balancing eco-certified technical fabrics with elegant tailoring. The brand advocates for sustainability and social impact that empowers women. Joanna is a US expat based in London, and was previously an investment banker for 8 years at a global financial services firm in New York and London.
Our panelists engaged us into very lively discussion, educated and inspired us. Moderator of the panel was our CEO, Marija Butkovic.

10 yard dumpster measurements in Rough And Ready
A 10 yard dumpster is created to hold 10 cubic yards of waste and debris. A 10 yard dumpster will measure approximately 12 feet long by 8 feet wide by four feet high, although precise container sizes will change with different businesses.
It can be hard to select exactly the container size you will need for your home project, but a 10 yard dumpster functions well for smaller clean-up occupations. To give you an idea, a 10 yard dumpster would hold:
- Debris cleanout from a cellar or garage A 250 square foot deck that has been removed
- A single layer of 1,500 square feet of roof shingles
- The debris from a small kitchen or bathroom remodeling job
If your job is large enough that you do not have room in your truck to haul everything to the dump, but small enough that you do not want an enormous container, a 10 yard dumpster should work perfectly.
Do your research when renting a dumpster in Rough And Ready

Section of that process will probably be studying your dumpster needs for the endeavor.

You will find the majority of the overall information you need online, but for advice unique to your area, you will need to call your local company. Ensure that you ask about any hidden or extra fees so you do not get stuck with a surprise statement.

This may be your largest price, so be sure you get a size that is large enough to last for the whole endeavor. Other problems to research first comprise a possible location for the container, the type of waste which you're throwing away and the length of time you will need the dumpster.

City regulations on in Rough And Ready

What is the smallest size dumpster available?
The smallest size roll off dumpster commonly available is 10 yards. This container will hold about 10 cubic yards of waste and debris, which is roughly equivalent to 3 to 5 pickup truck loads of waste. This dumpster is an excellent choice for small-scale projects, such as modest dwelling cleanouts.
Other examples of projects that a 10 yard container would function well for include: A garage, shed or loft cleanout A 250 square foot deck removal 2,000 to 2,500 square feet of single layer roofing shingles A modest kitchen or bathroom remodeling project Concrete or dirt removal Getting rid of waste Take note that weight limitations for the containers are imposed, so exceeding the weight limit will incur additional costs. The normal weight limit for a 10 yard bin is 1 to 3 tons (2,000 to 6,000 pounds).
A 10 yard bin will help you take care of small projects around the home. For those who have a bigger project coming up, take a look at some bigger containers too.

One other question to help narrow the project's scope a little: Is the 'search server' written entirely from scratch or is it using servlets or some other Java HTTP container? The answer to the question matters little, but I'd like this stated up front so that it's clear for everyone where Solr's boundaries are.

Thai Airways International (THAI) is Thailand's national carrier and is well-established as one of the world's oldest airlines. But with a goal to have more presence in the international scene, THAI needed a fresh, new start. Its current identity wasn't doing it justice.
Inspired by Thai traditional motifs and the deep meaning behind it's floral culture, I designed THAI's new visual identity to embody the essense of Thailand today.

What causes tailbone pain and shoulder pain?
Answered by
Question: Hi Doctor, my grandmother who is 82 has on and off pain I believe in the Ischial Tuberosity on the left side, described as "throbbing" and she is unable to go up her stairs. She also has a swollen right foot that was diagnosed as Cellulitis, but has not gotten completely better. She has arthritis and osteoporosis, and has lost weight; she is very thin and it scares me. She works too hard around the house and I am going to try and help her by stretching her hamstrings and periformis and test her strength. I know her hip muscles are weak. (I am a PT Assistant grad)What do you think is going on? Now two weeks later she has left sided "tailbone" pain as she describes it, along with left humerus pain and shoulder pain. It comes and goes she said. When she moves, walks, it hits her and is described as "hard" and "deep". She keeps referring to it as "bone pain". I am worried and need to find her the Right help! BTW, Her left knee became swollen and tender she said with pain behind it. The treatment of heat, stretching and exercise helped, but two weeks later, now, her knee is still swollen. She has had complaints of left sided "sciatic-type" issues. The periformis stretch does not seem to help...please help.
Brief Answer: Please provide the test results&drugs she is takin Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for sharing the concern of your grandmother with XXXXXXX Before running into conclusions, I'd gently ask to have the results of tests your grandmother has done recently together with medications she is taking for high blood pressure. From the medical data you provided, it seems that your grandmother are having problems with arthritis. A further evaluation with rheumatologist is needed together with other lab results: - ERS (erythrosedimentation) and CRP - complete blood profile - blood levels of calcium and vit.D - bone densitometry to further evaluate her osteoporosis stage. As she is having such problems, she should start immediate treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs including: - corticosteroids (after evaluating her high blood pressure) - NSAIDs (ketoprofen, diclophenac, etc) - applying local analgesics - keep massaging At the end, facing such problems at her age is quite difficult. However, the main aim to alleviate her pain. Looking forward to have the requested data! Dr.Klerida

XPLORE is a personal journey in the pursuit of growth and exploration, and my recent journey to Europe allowed me to live and connect to both. The Sound of Memory project was to further explore the value of memory and the power for Alzheimer's patients to remember. In preparation of the research, I started with a few readings on the disease to better understand how to speak to patients by knowing what questions to ask and how to respond. More importantly, I wanted to understand how to develop a relationship with Alzheimer's patients through music. Music and memory have been proven to share an intimately strong connection in the human brain. For those who suffer Alzheimer's (or Dementia), music could potentially be a catalyst for remembering the past and curing a deteriorating mind.
Finding My Rhythm in the Netherlands
Ruhnau Clarke Architects has given me the opportunity to further carry this research across seas to Weesp, Netherlands, a small beautiful town that houses the only Dementia Village in the world. It is a gated village designed for Dementia patients to live in a safe environment while being more active and feeling more independent. This setting is oftentimes compared to that depicted in the film 'The Truman Show' where residents can shop, dine and essentially live a day-to-day routine without fully knowing that they are under close watch of professional caregivers whose roles are as casual as being a cashier at the grocery store, mailman at the post office, or hairdresser at the salon.
About the Choir
There are 152 elderly patients residing in this village along with 6 students: 2 interns and 4 graduates. During my stay at the facility, I was able to interview 12 residents, all of which suffered between Stages 1-4 of Alzheimer's/Dementia. There were some challenges along the way like the language barrier and sudden changes in behavior and frustrations, but these only made the more positive moments we shared even sweeter!
A Familiar Tune
The usual routine was to start off every session with a Franz Bauer song, a Dutch singer from the late 80's. Everyone knew him and everyone loved his songs! From there, each resident would naturally request other songs. Some would start tapping their fingers, smiling, bobbing their head and even singing along! A couple of residents would start sharing memories like how he used to race horses or how she used to be in a choir.
Picking Up the Tempo in Switzerland
After a full week with the humble and welcoming people of The Netherlands, I arrived to Switzerland and visited The Home of Sonnweid in the town of Wetzikon just outside of Zurich. Similar to the care facility of Hogeweyk in the Netherlands, Sonneweid specializes in caring for 155 Alzheimer's patients. However, architecturally their living environment resembles more of the "norm": a box building with rooms that opened to a shared corridor and very little access to the outdoors. There were challenges to be faced here including a significantly shorter stay. I also learned that some of the staff were actually not in support of the concept behind 'Dementia Village' of the Netherlands. They believe that it is important for the patients to live in 'the real world' rather than building a 'village' in which the residents believe is 'real' when it is 'fake'. The concept was definitely seen from a different perspective and understood as quite a controversial matter to them.
Harmonizing Back Home
All in all, through music, the people and their land, this XPLORE experience was at a level beyond my comprehension even days after arriving back home. I've come back enlightened and inspired to continue the Sound of Memory in the States. Since this past February (prior to my trip), I have been working closely with the Alzheimer's Association in Riverside to become a Support Group Facilitator for Alzheimer's patients in our region. Initially this was meant to prepare for my trip, but overtime it has become something I am getting more and more involved in. Extensive training is required as part of this process and my training continues today. During my training, I am honored to visit a number of facilities here in Southern California, including ones located in Canyon Crest, Redlands and San Diego.
Thank you Ruhnau Clarke for giving me the opportunity to travel from the lowest valleys to the highest mountains in search of past memories while making new ones to share with friends and family back home.

(Getting an early start with today's post. Busy day ahead of me.)
1. Mini-conference at my hospital with Dr. Brian Goldman of CBCs, White Coat, Black Arts is coming to speak to some Patient Experience Advisors.
2. Then drive with my Dad to the Toronto airport for his two week escape to Trinidad. (I am so excited for my Dad, btw.)
On the machine now and being productive.
So . . . Which RABBIT and what HAT??
So my boyfriend and a few of his friends launched a Multicultural Social Group in town. There are many local groups, specific to a race, culture or religion, but few groups that welcome everyone.
The night before the launch the core people got together to plan the event. I helped develop a program (order of events) for the night touching on all of the areas that needed attention. As was arranged, an emcee would host the night for us using the clear, detailed program notes I made.
So, we're at the event (the next day) and I speak to the guy who we expected would host for us. Great dj voice. Nice man . . . but he didn't know he was expected to emcee and he wasn't comfortable because he wasn't familiar with the group's "culture".
Guess who emceed on the stop with no notice . . . ME.
I have to say, when I knew that I had to do it I didn't even panic. I had helped create the event program. I had taken time earlier on that day to write down a lot of detail so an emcee could go host it with the understanding of order, what happened at what time, who spoke when, etc. I was very familiar.
I'm proud of myself.
It is a small addition to my confidence as I continue to pursue my public speaking goals.
It is certainly an accomplishment when I look back at one of the most embarrassing moments in my life – related to public speaking.
In my second year of university I had to present part of a group oral presentation in a Race and Ethnic Relations class, in the department of sociology. I was prepared. I had tried to psych myself up to do my part but when it came time for me to speak I froze and no words would come out. I remember seeing the rows of stunned faces staring back at me. I apologized and ran out of the class. (Don't even remember grabbing my bag or coat or books. I just bolted!!) YIKES!!!!!!
It's nice to see how far we've come through time.
It's nice to see that the hard work – all the little steps that helped me build my confidence – all added up for something positive.
I know I'm not at the pinnacle yet. I hope to never reach any pinnacle.
I want to always be striving to be and do more . . . but from this vantage things looks quite nice. And I am HAPPY.

So I got an email from Greta this weekend letting me know that she had nominated me for a Beautiful Blogger award. Shocking, I know seeing as I have only been doing this since December and only 5 people, at most, read this blog. But I am flattered nonetheless and owe a big thank you to Greta for the nomination.
The nomination has a few rules:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award. DONE
2. Paste the award on your blog. WILL DO (after I finish this post).
3. Link to the person who nominated you. DONE (see above).
4. Tell 7 or 8 interesting things about yourself.
- I love to read. A lot.
- I just started quilting in June. I am obsessed. This is a good and a bad thing.
- I am celebrating my 10 year anniversary this Fall. I am completely in love. True.
- My children are 15 months apart - we like to say that one was planned and the other was destiny. They make me want to be a better person. And they can make me laugh like no one else.
- Even though I am not a very religious person, I am big on prayer (not sure if that is all that interesting).
- I am a big gift giver. I love it. Never because I think I have to, only because I want to.
- I am addicted to Hot Yoga and I think that my practice makes me a better person.
- I am blessed with the best friends in the world. Especially my best friend. She is way more interesting than me. She is my sister in all the important ways.
5. Nominate and link to 7 or 8 blogs you think are great.
There you have it.
L xo
PS - *The title is that Sally Field comment that she made at the Oscars decades ago. Seeing as how the Academy Awards are right around the corner, I thought it appropriate. I am not really that vain. Really.
PPS - The picture is of our room at the cabin. I bought the pillows on etsy and they are one of the reasons I started quiliting. I'll tell you the story sometime.

Ryder Twins | Maine Newborn | Fresh 48
There is something so magical about the first days of a new baby; it is doubly magical when they are twins. Avery and Austin made their way into this world two days shy of the New Year. It was truly a pleasure documenting these two. Their personalities shined right through at even 48 hours old. Fresh 48 sessions are easily becoming a favorite of mine. Capturing the first moments of life is such an honor.
Avery and Austin are rainbow babies and are lucky to have a beautiful family to welcome them into the world with loving arms. Hana's pregnancy had complications that put her on bed rest for two months before their twins arrived. It is amazing what mothers do for their children and the strength that Hana had. I loved spending the time to capture this sweet family of five. Welcome to the world, Austin and Avery!

Hi all! What a week its been for us at Granary HQ!!!
This time last week we were gearing up for the fantastic evening that is The Wedding Industry Awards Regional finals for the East of England!
We have been honoured to host this prestigious event in the awards calendar for the past 2 years and couldn't wait to make this years our third time lucky! We were in the running for 'Countryside Venue' and 'Best Events Team' and it was sure to be a tough decision for the judges choosing between all of the excellent nominees.
As guests collected their chilled bottle of Prosecco on arrival, our recommended supplier and friend of the barns Hall & Co Event Design, provided delicious canapes and nibbles as our Granary Barn began to fill with industry experts from across East Anglia.
As with all awards evenings, the atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation and excitement as everyone who was in attendance had worked so hard to achieve their nomination and to have the chance to meet their peers and celebrate with work colleagues after another busy and successful year. It's not every week you get to attend an awards evening so we took the opportunity to get glammed up! With the help of talented make-up artist Kate McCabe, we had a quick spruce up and headed over to the barn to welcome our fellow nominees to our beautiful venue!
After another wonderfully crazy, busy, fun-filled year at the Granary Estates, we were yet again overwhelmed by our bride and grooms support and generosity in voting for us in both categories. We love our job and helping to make your dream wedding day a reality, which is why we were over the moon to have won the accolade of 'Best Event Team' in the East of England for the second year running!!! AMAZIIIING!!!
To top what was already a fantastic evening, we were then awarded with 'Highly Commended' in the 'Countryside Venue' category too....to say we were ecstatic is an understatement! Thank you to every single one of you beautiful couples from the past 12 months who voted for our team and venue, we love you all!
We'd also like to pass our congratulations on to all of the winners and nominees on the night. We know how hard-working and dedicated you all are in this, our chosen industry and are proud to have shared the venue with you all last Wednesday.
You can see the highlights video of the night below with some more pictures of what was another great event at the barns...
Thanks TWIA! We'll see you at the Nationals in January :)

Thingamy's Sigurd Rinde's great post here. From the post – Goodbye VCs, it's been a pleasure
Betting on markets is not business building, it's not innovation, it's financial crap shooting.
Many of the reasons I did not choose to have Ideafarms funded by Vulture Capitalists are so lucidly captured in his post.
1. On exit strategies
And my favourite – Andy Grove and the "payday" mentioned above:
What really infuriates him is the concept of the "exit strategy." "Intel never had an exit strategy," Grove says. "These days, people cobble something together. No capital. No technology. They measure eyeballs and sell advertising. Then they get rid of it. You can't build an empire out of this kind of concoction. You don't even try."
Did Microsoft, Google, Intel, Dell and Amazon spend time on "exit strategies"? Doubt it.
Exit strategy is something to pooh pooh at. Makes a money lender holding your home to ransom look like a saint! The VC community cannot even imagine the damage they have done to genuine entrepreneurship. Some of it will not be undone for generations.
2. On the role of the VC and the 'passenger' investor
I love Sig's allusion to the investor being the passenger. How irritating to have a passenger sit in the back seat while you're driving, giving you instructions about when to step on the gas when he has never even learnt to drive.
I'm not against delivering the best possible value to the venture investors, quite on the contrary, but there should not be any doubt that the best shareholder values delivered over time have consistently been delivered by those who can create a great value for their customers while keeping a good margin.And the customer is the start-up, the VC is the vehicle and the investor is the passenger. The passengers are always much better off if the driver keeps his eyes peeled on the road.
I join Sig in wishing VCs farewell and hope they will never return. RIP

Since they were still a little soft, I was able to distort their forms and carve into them with ease. The black pebble/dots are a glaze. These vessels are ready for the Raku firing. Back to Bruce... Back in the studio, Raku fired hard. LOVE the teal crackle glaze he used! Some alterations with glitter fills and copper foils adornments. Also, some other Raku fired pieces we collaborated on.

15 Orange And Black Drink Recipes You Need In Your Life This Halloween
All right fellow ghouls and goblins, our favorite holiday is right around the corner. Halloween is coming up quick, and I bet I already know the burning question lingering in the back of your mind — "What am I going to drink this Halloween?" The answer is orange and black drink recipes you can drum up yourself, obviously!
I am one of those people who loves to celebrate any holiday to its fullest. For Halloween, I go all out with my costume, decorations, candy for the kids, and throwing an insane costume party. It's all about the little details, right down to the Halloween-themed cupcakes and black and orange cocktails. The truth is I'll take any excuse to celebrate, no matter what it is, even if it ends in me getting sick off of black and orange jello shots (oh, it's happened).
It doesn't matter if you are planning to host a party, or go out on the town all night — you need at least one black or orange cocktail to start the evening off as you're pulling your costume on at home. I've rounded up my favorite Halloween libations for you to choose from this year. It's time to raise our black and orange-filled glasses to another spooky year!
1. Jack-O-Lantern
The name says it all, doesn't it? A perfectly pumpkin-packed cocktail from The Kitchn is exactly how the Halloween festivities should start off!
2. Spiced Apple Cider
If Halloween tends to be chilly in your part of the world, you need to whip up a batch of these boozy warm cocktails from Jelly Toast ASAP. You can even pretend that floating cloud of whipped cream is a ghost in an orange sea!
3. Pumpkin Pineapple Cocktail
You might be questioning the pumpkin and pineapple combination from Cookie + Kate, but you have to trust me, it's the best combination of fall and tropical out there. I dare you to make them for your friends, and see if they can guess what's in them!
4. Black Magic Cocktails
Black magic cocktails look like something out of Love Potion No. 9, don't they? Adventures in Cooking totally got in the spirit with this black cherry magic potion, and my mouth is already watering for a sip.
5. Burnt Honey Bourbon Sour
This cocktail from A Spicy Perspective reminds me of trick-or-treating. You get the sweet for the "treat" with the burnt honey, and the "trick" in the hint of sour. Tip: if you're looking to impress, you'll look like a total rock star for whipping up such a fancy drink.
6. Spiced Apple Margaritas
You have to get a little spicy on Halloween, don't you? With all those crazy costumes and parties, this spiced-up orange libation from Cookie + Kate will warm you up from the inside out before you run out the door.
7. I Yam What I Yam
For those of you looking for something out of left field, look no further than this fancy schmancy cocktail from Endless Simmer. If you can't have sweet potato in your drink on Halloween, when can you?
8. Chocolate-Ginger Martini with Cayenne-Spiked Rim
Now this is my new dark cocktail star hitter on Halloween. The Food and Style cocktail is packed with candy and spice, making me feel like I'm drinking a Halloween goody bag with every sip. You'll probably try to be late for your party just to drink another one of these bad boys.
9. The Black Almond
Just looking at this drink makes me want to turn on the smoke machine, turn down the lights and get the haunted house going. Pass the Sushi nails the spooky, dark cocktail to get caught with while running from Dracula down a dark alley.
10. Orange Old-Fashioned
This twist on a classic drink from The Kitchn is a must for anyone who's digging those Mad Men era cocktails right now. It's simple, straightforward, and won't make you feel like you're drinking a candy bar like so many other themed cocktails do.
11. The Satan's Whiskers Cocktail
Well if the name doesn't draw you in enough to take a sip, you need to step up your Halloween game. The Kitchn makes the most devilish drink I've ever seen with this recipe, and it will have you howling at the moon for more.
12. Mini Guinness Chocolate Floats
I can barely find the words to describe how much I am dying to try these rich mini floats from Jelly Toast. Guinness? Check. Chocolate? Check. Ice Cream? Check. I think I just fainted… Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. Any upstanding Irish woman or man will have these by the gallon on All Hallow's Eve.
13. Spiked Pumpkin Pie Milkshake
What's a holiday without a spiked milkshake? Uneventful, to say the least, right? It's time to get your boozy dessert fix on with this pumpkin shake from the The Kitchn. If you're intent on stuffing your face this Halloween (and who isn't?), this is the way to do it and sneak your booze in at the same time.
14. Apple Cider Hot Toddy
A hot toddy happens to be my favorite holiday drink, so finding an excuse to drink it around Halloween as well makes my heart explode. This apple cider version from The Little Epicurean is what every parent should be hiding in their thermoses while the kiddos trick-or-treat (don't pretend like you wouldn't…).
15. Vanilla-Infused Pear Dark n' Stormy
This dark n' stormy cocktail from My Baking Addiction is my new stormy Halloween go-to. It has that burnt orange hue I love, and a ginger bite that feels downright evil to indulge in.

San Jose Wins Skirmish in Battle to Move A's
SAN JOSE, Calif. (CN) – A federal judge cleared the way for San Jose to appeal a ruling in its lawsuit that accuses Major League Baseball of illegally blocking the Oakland A's planned move to the city, according to a lawyer involved in the case.
U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte issued a tentative ruling from the bench today dismissing state law claims for interference with contract, clearing the docket in the federal case.
The decision allows San Jose to immediately appeal Whyte's October decision that dismissed federal claims MLB had illegally conspired to control the relocation of teams.
San Jose can now pursue its interference claims in state court with leave to amend the claims in federal court in the future, according to Phil Gregory, an attorney for the city.
"We believe this is an excellent result for the city because it allows the case to move forward on the antitrust claims to the next level and allows the case for interference with the option agreement to move forward in state court," said Gregory. The lawyer from Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy LLP in Burlingame stressed that the ruling is tentative and no written ruling has yet issued.
In his October decision Whyte cited MLB's antitrust exemption, which gives Major League Baseball control over broadcast rights, apparel, stadium vendors, team locations and other aspects of the cash cow that is professional baseball. The exemption, which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld in 1922, found that baseball games are local affairs and not interstate commerce.
While agreeing with other jurists that the exemption is "unrealistic, inconsistent, or illogical," and an "aberration" that makes "little sense given the heavily interstate nature of the 'business of baseball' today," Whyte noted in October that it has lived on because of congressional inaction.
San Jose claims that MLB has unlawfully conspired to control the location and relocation of major league men's professional baseball clubs under the guise of the exemption.
Judge Whyte noted however that he is "still bound by the Supreme Court holdings, and cannot conclude today that those holdings are limited to the reserve clause."
In the same ruling, Whyte upheld claims for tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, which do not explicitly require an antitrust violation to survive.
San Jose argued that the MLB Relocation Committee has delayed for over four years a decision whether to approve the A's move, which "caused a disruption of the A's ability to execute an option agreement and disrupted any future negotiation of a purchase agreement, presumably causing damage to the city."
The city also delayed a public vote, at Commissioner Selig's request, on whether the A's could buy land and build a stadium.
Whyte noted that "it is reasonable to infer that the A's and the city entered into an option agreement with the understanding that MLB would return a relocation decision within the two year term of the contract."
The "court finds that the complaint sufficiently alleges a 'disruption' of the contract because, here, the A's are unable to exercise the option due to MLB's delay in conducting the vote pursuant to the MLB constitution to approve or deny relocation," Whyte added. "By asking the city to delay a public vote on the stadium, the city was justified in assuming that MLB would make a decision within a reasonable time which it has not."
While noting that the delay itself does not violate antitrust laws, Whyte concluded that the league "has engaged in acts (or rather, has failed to engage a vote pursuant to the MLB constitution) indicating an intent to frustrate the contract. The court concludes that the allegations in the complaint are sufficient to state a claim for tortuous interference with contract." (Parentheses in original.)
Bradley Ruskin, a partner with Proskauer Rose LLP in New York, represents MLB and Commissioner Selig. Ruskin did not immediately return a request for comment.

A word today about placing personal items in a vehicle scheduled for transport.
It would seem like a "no big deal" sort of thing, right? Your vehicle is being transported to a new city, and just before it is picked up by the carrier, you put a few personal items in the vehicle for safe transport along with the vehicle? Who's to know? Who's to care?
It turns out there are some very good reasons why you shouldn't do this and why most vehicle transport companies prohibit the inclusion of personal items in a vehicle being shipped.
First, it is against FMCSA regulations for auto carriers to transports personal possessions within the vehicle. Carriers literally can be fined for doing this.
Second, insurance companies will not cover the loss or damage of personal items within a transported vehicle.
Third, there are strict weight limitations that vehicle carriers must adhere to. The additional weight inside the vehicle may cause an overweight situation. When that happens, the carrier must either risk fines for being overweight or they must refuse to take the vehicle. Considering the severity of the punishment, most carriers will refuse the vehicle.
Fourth, extra weight can cause damage to the undercarriage of the transporting vehicle during the loading and unloading process.
Add it all up and it equals some very formidable and logical reasons why people should never store personal belongings inside a vehicle scheduled for transport.

'To Kill a Mockingbird'
To the Editor:
Let me offer a teacher's perspective on the reviews by Roxane Gay and Howell Raines of Tom Santopietro's "Why 'To Kill a Mockingbird' Matters" and Joseph Crespino's "Atticus Finch: The Biography" (June 24). Having taught "To Kill a Mockingbird" to thousands of kids, I can explain the significance of Harper Lee's novel with this observation: It causes kids to cry out, "That's not fair." And from that simple comment comes all the power of literature and all the hope in the world.
Kids say that when they read "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," "Maus" and "Two Boys Kissing," and when they hear about children being separated from their parents at the border. At the core of Scout's story is her harsh discovery of unfairness: Tom Robinson is falsely arrested, unfairly tried, unfairly convicted and then killed. Recognizing unfairness is the engine for empathy and activism, and literature — the great window and mirror — is where it starts for so many of us. It's also why the writing of Roxane Gay matters.
To the Editor:
The salient issue raised by the reviews of Roxane Gay and Howell Raines of the two recent "Mockingbird" retrospectives seems to be Atticus Finch's true character, and how it relates to that of the Alabama of that time. It appears to me that the main issue has been overlooked.
In 1960, school segregation had been under attack for six years, supported by courts around the country. "Outside agitators" like John Lewis were being beaten by white Southerners, and the groundswell of public opinion resulted, among other things, in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
By the end of the decade, the Supreme Court required free criminal defense in many cases. The Legal Service Corporation offered full-time employment for young lawyers like myself to challenge injustices wrought by poverty and racism. Many large law firms participated by allowing associates to work pro bono on particular cases. On the other hand, many lawyers, despite voicing support for those confronting these issues head-on, continued their noncontroversial, traditional business as usual.
The issue, then, is what happened to Atticus Finch after that one case? Did it make him realize that his power to confront injustice could — and should — be applied to many other such instances? Or did he shrug his shoulders and go back to his trusts and wills, being a one-case liberal and giving Alabama, as Raines puts it, "a civic mythology it could live with"? Was he a one-case liberal?
The question is not merely academic. Our country today is in no less need of lawyers ready to confront injustice on a more than one-case basis.
The writer is a United States administrative law judge.
To the Editor:
Roxane Gay's review of Tom Santopietro's "Why 'To Kill a Mockingbird' Matters" is the most interesting and honest book review I have read in The New York Times in years. Gay manages to explain why she found Santopietro's book unsatisfying in clear and cogent prose, without the hesitation and pulled punches that plague many other reviewers. To be clear, Gay is not disparaging or mean, just frank. What a breath of fresh air!
To the Editor:
I was pleased to see Roxane Gay confirm what I always felt about "To Kill a Mockingbird." As she points out, it is racist, noting "the shallowness of the black characters — how they are vehicles for Scout's story instead of their own." It is for this reason that I ignored the prequel, "Go Set a Watchman."
I would have preferred a sequel where Scout discovers that her real mother is Calpurnia, the black maid, and Atticus discovers that Boo Radley, the mentally challenged neighbor, is the real father! Scout would continue the narrative as a biracial and illegitimate child! Calpurnia would now be the central character. What was her relationship to both Atticus and Boo? What is her back story? Why was this kept from Scout? How will Scout now see herself as the product of a black maid and a mentally challenged neighbor? How will she look at Atticus now that he is no longer the "platonic ideal of a father"? Her exploration of Calpurnia and her past would become the nexus of the new story! A black character's story told through Scout would bring new perspectives to Atticus, the trial of Tom Robinson, the racial dynamics of the South and Scout's uncertain place in the world.
To the Editor:
I enjoyed the reviews by Roxane Gay and Howell Raines considering various aspects of "To Kill a Mockingbird." But the bird in the cover illustration? That's a tufted titmouse.
To the Editor:
Howell Raines notes that the film version of "To Kill a Mockingbird" "swept the Oscars in 1963." With eight nominations and only three wins, that hardly constitutes a sweep.
