I have been visiting Denver's Mile High Dungeon a lot in 2018.
Besides being treated like royalty from one of the Head Mistress'; Mistress Victoria;
She loans Me Her sissy Kittenboi every visit.
Kitten is always eager to show off her new skills that her Mistress Victoria has been teaching her.

While visiting Mile High Dungeon in Denver; Mistress Victoria Marx loaned My Her sissy Kittenboi to be of service during My stay.
Kittenboi's first day of service and this slutty sissy showed up with no panties!
Definitely unacceptable, therefore discipline is certainly in order. However, I think I may have to use the fact that Kittenboi showed up being naughty I threaten to hell Mistress Victoria. Her punishment will be more severe than Mine. I think I will have this sissy wrapped around My finger this visit to keep from sharing this with Mistress Victoria.

Here's a few images from The Dark Knight Rises to brighten your day
A few new images from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES have found their way online, giving us a look at the three main players, Batman, Catwoman, and Bane. Tom Hardy is looking sufficiently psycho in the Bane image, while Anne Hathaway looks exceptionally sexy as she cocks a pistol. Christian Bale, well...he looks like Batman, which is good enough.
We seem to get really wrapped up in imagery of the villains for films like this, but it would be nice to see some images of the titular hero that aren't your standard just standing around. We've seen very little of Batman in action, aside from the artwork for the film, so I'm a little underwhelmed with the lack of caped crusader imagery (although the skyline shot in the recent trailer was pretty sweet).
Anyway, here's those images:
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES on July 20, 2012. I guess I'll go see it.

Well people, I don't have much to say today because I was trying to finish my "going-home-letter" to President Wilson, which I will send to all of you.
This week was super great! Hermana McRae and I did go to the mall (on P-day) and I did find a cute "going-home-shirt" so that was nice:)
We did a blitz/finding exchange with the YSA Sisters and I got to go on campus with Sister Fuhriman. I was a little nervous while in the car...and then we got on campus and it was awesome! I love talking to people and I love being bold:)
On Wednesday we went to Panera Bread with the same Sisters to celebrate mine and Sister Greer's 18 month mark! Wow. I can't believe I haven't seen Mom in 18 months. I miss you Mommy:) and Hapa too. Also, Dad will you please stop having health scares while Amelia and I are in the mission field??? You're old, but not THAT old;)
There's a less active YW we visit with, who's less active because she has to work on Sundays:( but she's really sweet and she wants to get into BYU! We went and watched a episode of the District with her and she loved it! And now she's thinking about going on a mission! Mission accomplished:)
We also went to visit her at work once (5 Guys), and her co-worker fell in love with me...And told her that he wants to meet with missionaries now. So we went by on Saturday night to get his contact information. Then after collecting it, we informed him that he lives in the Elders' area;) haha! But then we invited him to church and he's interested in coming, so that's neat. He has no idea that I'll be out of here before he can get baptized;)
We did a full exchange with Hermanas Draper and Lindo. Hermana Lindo came and served with me in our area. She and I served together over the summer in the Stafford Branch, so it was great to be with her again! She's a convert of about two years and has such an awesome testimony! Sometimes it's discouraging because none of her investigators are as "golden" as she was when she was an investigator, but I promised her that one day it will happen, as long as she talks to everyone:)
Saturday night was the Womens' Meeting and I cried a bit during the first song, "How Firm a Foundation." When I was in the choir for the YW General Broadcast 5 years ago, we sang that song too. It's cool (and a little overwhelming) to see how much I've changed in 5 years! I also miss my Mommy and sisters. I thought Mom and Darci had tickets? Did Millie get to watch it?
Earlier that day, I was praying about my General Conference questions...which are...what next??? What does God have in store for me next? And then the whole broadcast was about families. So that's neat.
Anyway, I had a great week of working hard, talking to everyone, and preaching the Gospel. Hermana McRae and I have been referring to this upcoming week as "party week" the whole transfer. Tomorrow we have Spanish Meeting in Richmond. Wednesday is MLC. (So we're going to stay the night.) Thursday is the temple trip. (Maybe Dad will show up since he'll be in Baltimore??) Friday is Zone Meeting, and we'll probably have to do weekly planning that day, too. Saturday and Sunday are General Conference, and Alejandro (part-member family) is getting baptized on Sunday between sessions. Monday is Zone P-day and I'll be packing. Tuesday is Transfer Meeting. On Wednesday...they're shipping me back home.
It should be a real party. Especially the temple trip:) But I promise to do my best to fill the crevices with as much work as possible:) I love you all lots.
Hermanita Crandall
-Shout out to Sister Olsen for signing up for my classes at BYU for me:)
-Shout out to Millie for being the cutest missionary Japan has ever seen.
-Shout out to Dad for being the best hapa/trooper/dad ever! (and to Mom for being his best friend.)
-Shout out to my companera Hermana McRae for helping me through all of the emotional challenges that come with finishing a mission.
-Shout out to Sister Greer for being SO AWESOME! I didn't know what to put as my subject line. She suggested it so... ;)

I've had a lovely 4 day Christmas break with my mum not letting me do anything, which I find hard to do as she is 70 and I feel at 38 I should be telling her to rest, but first day back at work and this happens??!
Sorry to have that little whine when I know there are people here who have things a lot tougher than I do, sometimes life seems so unfair.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Chandeliers and other Lighting topics.
Bulbs are like remodeling choices...they keep multiplying. Fortunately, you don't have to spend hours debating between the offerings on view at the bulb display in your local lighting or home improvement store. Many chandeliers use candelabra bulbs that provide the right amount of light, so all you need to do is choose the correct intensity (25, 40, 60, or 100 watt bulbs).
You'll most likely select transparent candelabra bulbs, but frosted glass is also an option to further diffuse light through the uplight shades. Bright Idea: If you want to control the amount of light in the hall or dining room, use a dimmer switch. Now that you've decided on the bulbs, you can get back to the important dilemmas.

100 Hawks for ChinaIn the winter of 1940-1941, Claire Chennault was in Washington trying to line up American planes and pilots for the Chinese Air Force. Though he would have preferred fighters with air-cooled radial engines, what he got was 100 Curtiss Tomahawks--what the U.S. Army knew as the P-40B-- off an assembly line turning out planes for Royal Air Force squadrons in North Africa. Here's the story of the wheeling and dealing that went into the creation of the American Volunteer Group that would become famous as the "Flying Tigers" of Burma and China, as Daniel Ford wrote it for Air & Space / Smithsonian magazine.
At left: Curtiss assembly line in Buffalo, New
York, as imagined by Paul Salmon for Air & Space magazine.
The first P-40 had no pilot
or fuel tank protection and only two wing guns, so the British asked
for a more robust model that became the U.S. Army's P-40B. This was
essentially the aircraft diverted from Curtiss's assembly line in
the early months of 1941 and sent to Asia for the American Volunteer
Group. The planes were offloaded at Rangoon with a medley of machine
guns and missing such essentials as optical gunsights and military radios.
The RAF pilot's manualAt least one of the China-bound Hawks was accompanied by a mimeographed, spiral-bound Pilot's Manual that eventually made its way into the collection of Larry Pistole, the nephew of an AVG ground crewman. Dan came across it in the archives of the National Air & Space Museum, copied it, and sent it to Flying Tiger veteran Erik Shilling for his comments. The RAF manual--annotated by Erik and Dan--makes up the second part of this valuable little book, supplemented by a memo by Tye Lett of General Motors, which manufactured the big Allison V-12 engine that powered the Tomahawks. Erik's comments on the differences between the manual and the airplanes actually flown by the AVG go far to prove that Curtiss used the 100-plane China order to use up its stockpile of parts intended for an earlier version of the Tomahawk.
Finally, there's an appendix of the 100 Tomahawks with their Curtiss serials, RAF block numbers, AVG tail numbers, and their fuselage numbers, pilots, and ultimate fate if known. Good reading for history buffs and an essential resource for flight simmers.

DOVER, Del. – Considering the effect weather can play during the first quarter of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, drivers know they are at the mercy of Mother Nature.
In March, the STP 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway was pushed from a Sunday to Monday because of snow.
On Sunday, the threat of rain had hovered over Dover International Speedway all day, but the AAA 400 Drive for Autism started and then completed the first two stages.
It was an official race when the sky opened up and stopped the racing under a red flag with 80 laps remaining. The delay lasted 41 minutes.
When you have the best car, however, it makes obstacles like the weather, changing track conditions and opponents easier to overcome.
Kevin Harvick went into the weekend in Delaware with what most people considered the best car. He didn't disappoint.
Driving the No. 4 Ford Fusion for Stewart-Haas Racing, Harvick continued his dominance of the Cup Series by taking all the stages and winning the 400 Drive for Autism.
It was Harvick's fourth victory in the first 11 races. During the 2017 season, he won just twice.
"It's actually a lot harder because you don't want to screw it up," Harvick said of knowing you have a good car. "I felt we had a really good car from the time we unloaded. You could tell that from where we qualified, which isn't normally my strong point [at Dover].
"We had three good practices and everything kind of fell into place. When they dropped the green flag, [the car] was definitely still good. It was one of those weekends when the car was spot-on from the time we got here.
"I feel we're playoff racing on a weekly basis and if you're going to win a bunch of races, that's what you have to do."
It was the first time a Ford has reached victory lane at Dover since Matt Kenseth's car did it in May 2011. Harvick's teammate Clint Bowyer finished second on Sunday.
"We had a fast car today, but the Fords were just in a different league," said Daniel Suarez, who finished third.
After the rain delay, Harvick took the lead from Bowyer with 62 laps to go and pulled away for an impressive 7.24-second victory.
"I was holding my own even as loose as I was," Bowyer said. "I was going for the win, but I knew you just can't buzz the tires like that on a track like this.
"When you're loose getting into the corner and those guys get behind you, you're in trouble. I would say speed-wise, sheer speed-wise, [Harvick] was a little bit better."
Although he is third in the driver standings because he did not finish the Auto Club 400 in California, Harvick has the most wins, has led the most laps (741) and has the most top-five finishes (eight). He also has the most playoff points with 19.
Harvick has just been the most dominant racer for a powerful Stewart-Haas team that now has posted five victories – Bowyer won at Martinsville – after winning three in 2017. Their Ford Fusions hold three of the top six places and four of the top 11.
Harvick-Bowyer was the fourth 1-2 sweep for Stewart-Haas, and with Kurt Busch finishing fifth the team placed three in the top five for the first time this season.
"For an owner, days like this are what you dream of to have three in the top five," said driving legend Tony Stewart, who is in his second season as an owner. "To have the start of the season we have had has been amazing so far."

Art for Advent (21): 'Cossacks'
by Wassily Kandinsky
Patrick Comerford
My choice of a work of Art for Advent this morning is 'Cossacks' by Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944).
This abstract painting in oil on canvas was painted in 1910-1911 and measures 94.5 x 130 cm. Although it is not on display at present, it is held by the Tate Gallery in London, and was presented by to the Tate in 1938 by Mrs Hazel McKinley, who bought it from the artist through Guggenheim-Jeune of London.
In a letter to a friend at the time, Kandinsky wrote: "An American woman living in London has bought a pre-war painting from me and presented it to the Tate Gallery in I.ondon! It is the first truly modern painting in the famous museum in London. The painting is called 'Cosaques,' dates from the year 1911, still bears traces of 'the object' but makes nevertheless a wholly 'concrete' impression."
When I came across the work of Kandinsky in art classes as a teenager at school, my first reaction was "Painting as Music." Later, I garsped what Kandinsky meant when he said: "Music is the ultimate teacher."
Once, while I was moving into a new house, I was given as a present a print of this painting, and it was the first work I placed on a wall. I cannot find the print now, but this remains one of my favourite works of art.
This painting was made during a transitional period, when he retained some representational elements, such as the two Russian cavalrymen in tall orange hats in the foreground of the painting. Kandinsky considered these as points at which the images could be registered, rather than the true content of the painting.
The painting has been variously known as 'Cossacks,' 'Improvisation 17,' 'Battle,' 'Fragment for Composition 4' and 'Composition 4 (Fragment).' The title 'Cossacks' has been used consistently by the Tate because it is the one Kandinsky seems to have preferred at the time of its acquisition. It was painted at a time in Kandinsky's career when he was living in near Munich and moving rapidly from a form of Expressionism towards Abstraction.
The "traces of 'the object'" which Kandinsky mentions are as follows: in the upper left portion of the picture are two horses rearing up against each other, their front legs interlocking. Each has a Cossack rider wearing a tall fur hat which Kandinsky has painted orange-red. Each is swinging a long curved sabre, painted mauve. Below the horses is a rainbow bridging a valley, and to the left of that, what appear to be two batteries of guns, one of which is firing, producing a cloud of red and orange fame.
A building on the other side of the valley suggests a castle on a hill. Below it are three more Cossacks, distinguished by their orange hats. Two Cossacks carry long black lances while the third has his arm extended and is leaning on his sabre.
A flock of birds flies in an agitated state in the sky.
The feeling of conflict is vividly expressed by the structure of powerful diagonal lines that tilt, clash and intersect. All horizontals or verticals are rigorously excluded so there is nowhere for the eye to rest.
The focus of this restless linear structure is the group of the horses and the building outlined in thick black lines occupying the upper central part of the picture. Around this focal area, Kandinsky has distributed elements of strong colour – the Cossack hats, the rainbow and the gunfire – that further distract the eye and reinforce the disturbing effect.
In Kandinsky's own catalogue it is dated 13 January 1911, although the date 1910 is on the picture itself.
Vassily Vassilyevich Kandinsky (1866-1944) is an influential Russian painter who is credited with painting the first purely abstract works. Born in Moscow, art and music, ranging from traditional Russian religious icons and Rembrandt oils to a performance of Wagner's Lohengrin, left profound impressions on him as well. He spent his childhood in Odessa before studying law and economics at the University of Moscow.
He began painting at the age of 30 and he moved to Munich in 1896. He returned to Moscow in 1914, but with the rise of Communism he returned to Germany in 1921 and taught at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture until it was closed by the Nazis in 1933. He then moved to France where he lived for the rest of his life, and became a French citizen in 1939.
He was raised in the Russian Orthodox Church and maintained these beliefs throughout his entire life, except during a short period in his youth. He died in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1944.
But, apart from a personal liking for the work of Kandinsky, why do I think this is an appropriate painting to consider in the closing days of Advent?
Kandinsky once wrote: "The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul." He believed that abstract paintings could convey spiritual and emotional values simply through the arrangement of colours and lines. Writing in 1911 in Concerning the Spiritual in Art, he defines three types of painting: impressions, improvisations and compositions. While impressions are based on an external reality that serves as a starting point, he believes improvisations and compositions depict images emerging from the unconscious, even though composition is developed from a more formal point of view.
Kandinsky compares the spiritual life of humanity to a pyramid – the artist has a mission to lead others to the pinnacle with his work. The point of the pyramid is those few, great artists. It is a spiritual pyramid, advancing and ascending slowly, even if it sometimes appears immobile. During decadent periods, the soul sinks to the bottom of the pyramid; and humanity searches only for external success, ignoring spiritual forces.
He says the colours the painter uses evoke a double effect: a purely physical effect on the eye, which is charmed by the beauty of colours, similar to the joyful impression when we eat a delicacy. This effect can be much deeper, however, causing a vibration of the soul or an "inner resonance" – a spiritual effect in which the colour touches the soul itself.
For Kandinsky, art is born from the inner necessity of the artist in an enigmatic, mystical way, and through this it acquires an autonomous life, becoming an independent subject, animated by a spiritual breath.
For Kandinsky, warmth is a tendency towards yellow, and coldness a tendency towards blue; yellow and blue form the first great, dynamic contrast. Yellow has an eccentric movement and blue a concentric movement; a yellow surface seems to move closer to us, while a blue surface seems to move away. Yellow is a typically terrestrial colour, whose violence can be painful and aggressive; blue is a celestial colour, evoking a deep calm. The combination of blue and yellow yields total immobility and calm, which is green.
Clarity is a tendency towards white, and obscurity is a tendency towards black. White and black form the second great contrast, which is static. White is a deep, absolute silence, full of possibility. Black is nothingness without possibility, an eternal silence without hope, and corresponds with death. Any other colour resonates strongly with its neighbours. Mixing white and black produces grey, which possesses no active force, and whose tonality is near that of green. Grey corresponds to immobility without hope; it tends to despair when it becomes dark, regaining little hope when it lightens.
Red is a warm colour, lively and agitated; it is forceful, a movement in itself. When red is mixed with black it becomes brown, a hard colour. When red is mixed with yellow, it gains in warmth and becomes orange, which imparts an irradiating movement on its surroundings. When red is mixed with blue, it moves away from humanity to become purple, which is a cool red. Red and green form the third great contrast, and orange and purple the fourth.
Kandinsky deplores art that "becomes the satisfaction of vanity and greed … a scramble for good things … of excessive competition, of over-production … this aimless, materialist art."
He denounces the narcissism of "art for art's sake" – "this neglect of inner meanings … this vain squandering of artistic power" with its consequence that "hungry souls go hungry away."
Instead, he urges, art must "feed the spirit" by revealing "the internal truth of art, the soul." This is its prophetic calling in serving society. The artist must "be a priest of beauty." Beauty itself is that "which springs from the soul," and is anchored in the sacred.
Kandinsky wants to recapitulate the experience of walking through an Orthodox Church, which is full of pastel colours. Yet, as he says, it does not matter whether the church is Orthodox or Catholic. The experience is the same whether it is in churches in Moscow or chapels in Bavaria and the Tyrol – it is an artistic experience of religion and a religious experience of art, a sense of the easy and seamless merger of religious and artistic experience. The interiors of the churches and chapels Kandinsky visited are brightly and intricately coloured, as he appreciates, so that the excitement of colour and of inner life converge.
Kandinsky suggests the role of the artist is to separate out the spiritual from the material. Art should be an "advance into the kingdom of the abstract."
Can you identify with Kandinsky's description of the spiritual qualities of colours?
What does the purple of Advent mean to you?

You don't quite realize that you have an accent until you end up in a place where no one can understand you. I mean really, you live on an island somewhere where everybody sounds the same, the only people that have accents are visitors.
Albeit some people from Tobago do sound like some people from Grenada, and we do often have little dialect mix ups like "that's my own" vs "that's my one" (it's neither really, simply.....it's mine), you never really feel like you cannot be understood. But anyways, Miami International Airport, July 31st, 2002; Burger King, concourse C (if I remember correctly):
"I'd like to have a Whopper with bacon and cheese please"
HUH - the way she pronounced it sounded more like HAAAH, and it seemed guttural as though coming from the depths of her lower intestine. HAAAH like she was mocking me for being a lowly islander with no communication skills. I really don't like this word now.
Huh........what, am I not speaking English? I clearly understand you, what exactly is the problem here? I would have thought that a burger with cheese and a coke was a simple enough request. Apparently, trinidadian, in its raw form (which is odd as I always thought I spoke English and not "trinidadian" or "islander" for that matter) is as difficult for the average American to understand as Jamaicans, Bajans and old school people from Paramin are to us.
I had a new found respect for the oft ridiculed "Freshwater Yankee." You all know what I'm talking about............your homeboy or your homegirl, travels abroad for the first time, spends 2 minutes in DC on a quick stopover but comes back home to T&T with a thick US accent as though born and raised in Montana somewhere.......freshwater yankee.
It is often said that there are 3 distinct groups of individuals gifted with an uncanny aptitude for assimilating and blending seamlessly other cultures.........Jamaicans, Trinis and Nigerians. Which brings me to another point; trinis are seemingly an unknown entity to the general American public. People hear me speak and it's automatically assumed that I'm either Jamaican or an African. No disrespect to my yard people but there are islands in the Caribbean other than Cuba, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.
My run in with the Burger King lady also did something else. Incidentally, one of my favourite (spelled with a "u" in there like it should be.....so my Americans, don't hate) beverages to drink is Coke. Every so often when someone asks why is it that I only drink Coke, I think 7 years back to my first day in this country and my Burger King encounter........really and truly, the only word that the poor lady was able to understand from me was COKE.
From that point on, to avoid having to hear that annoying "HUH," I'd just go ahead and order a Coke.

But what technology and efficient automation can do, is to take away time-consuming transactional tasks. And free HR people to do what they do best – engage and retain great people through meaningful conversations.
SD Worx combines payroll software with advanced HR tools to provide an efficient, measurable cloud-based system that covers the whole employee life cycle from recruitment to retirement.
– Doug Sawers, MD of SD Worx UK & Ireland
By freeing up humans from the most repetitive tasks, these technologies will instead change the focus for HR and business employees onto more creative, high-value activities. The role of robotics will certainly increase in the future but humans will still have a key role to play in the workforce of tomorrow.

A few months ago Meghan wrote about the IMPOSSIBLE Project Instant Lab and showed some of her photos that had been printed by the folks at IMPOSSIBLE. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and those of us that backed the Instant Lab Kickstarter campaign began to receive our devices.
The Instant Lab is an amazing device that allows users to print photos from their iPhones on IMPOSSIBLE Project instant films. For those of us that love the ease that comes with taking iPhone photographs AND love the unique beauty an magic of instant film, the Instant Lab is about as exciting as a year of Christmases.
The very day I received my Instant Lab, while it was charging I went searching through my iPhone photo archives to select candidates for Instant Lab printing. When I posted on Twitter that I was having trouble choosing that very first image, Meghan suggested a photo of my puppy, Moz, that I had posted to Instagram. For me, Moz is a perfect subject for the Instant Lab. He's a very active little guy and has so far been impossible to capture with a Polaroid camera. Fortunately I've been able to get a few iPhone snaps, like this one of him curled up in my lap.
Instant Lab version (on PX680 film)
In the last few weeks I've been thinking a bit about the place of the Instant Lab in my little family of cameras and photo gadgets. For me, the magic of the instant film is only half the joy of using my Polaroid cameras. As I've said before, the process of shooting with a Polaroid is special and while the results are not guaranteed, I will keep shooting them. On the other hand, there are times when a shot just can't be taken with one of my Polaroids, either there isn't enough light or the moment is so transient that there is no time to set up a Polaroid shot. These kind of situations are tailor made for the iPhone. It's fast, it's quick and it's reliable.
There have been many times that I have looked at a photo I've taken with my iPhone and wish that I had shot the same image with a Polaroid. Something about the scene or the light just strikes me as ripe for instant film. The Instant Lab lets me live out that wish, as with the images below.
I shot this image with my iPhone in New York at during my breakfast at the bar at Cafe Colette in Williamsburg.
And this one at the Hotel Delmano
This one I shot with my iPhone on the fly. It was pouring rain and I was walking through this street-food party. I happened to turn around and I loved the shot with the umbrellas in the foreground and the Flatiron building in the background. I was holding and umbrella in a crowd of people. There would have been no way to pull out my Polaroid and set up the shot. I have been wondering for months though what this photo would have looked like on instant film.
And, of course, another of my never-stay-still puppy (aka my new favourite photo subject)
As you can see, I'm pretty much in love with my Instant Lab. The night after I got it I took it to a gathering of photographer friends and offered to make prints of their favourite iPhone photos. We selected, printed and ordered another round while we waited for developing. It was a lot of fun to share my love of instant film with my mostly-digital-shootin friends. Everyone got a kick out of the Instant Lab and some beautiful prints were created.
The Instant Lab was pronounced both "THE most hipster thing ever" and "totally back to the future". I suppose it is a bit of a brain teaser to think about taking a photo that was taken instantly on your phone, using a device made in 2013 to make a print that takes 35 minutes to develop using technology replicated from that developed in the 1960's. Baffling? Perhaps. Awesome? Completely!

Buddhism: Details about 'Noble Eightfold Path'
The following is An Analysis of the Path, a sutra or discourse delivered by Siddhartha Buddha from the Tipitaka, explaining this Noble Eightfold Path in detail. In all these, the word "right" is a translation of the word sammā (Pāli; Sanskrit: Samyañc), which denotes completion, togetherness, or coherence, and which can also carry the sense of "perfect" or "ideal".
1. Right Understanding (or Right View, or Right Perspective) - samma ditthi
"And what, monks, is right understanding? Knowledge with regard to sadness, knowledge with regard to the origination of sadness, knowledge with regard to the stopping of sadness, knowledge with regard to the way of practice leading to the stopping of sadness: This, monks, is called right understanding."
2. Right Thought (or Right Intention, or Right Resolve) - samma sankappa
"And what
is right thought? Being resolved on renunciation, on freedom from ill will, on harmlessness: This is called right thought."
Virtue (Ethical Conduct)(sila)
3. Right Speech - samma vaca
"And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, abstaining from divisive speech, abstaining from abusive speech, abstaining from idle chatter: This, monks, is called right speech."
4. Right Action - samma kammanta
"And what, monks, is right action? Abstaining from taking life, abstaining from stealing, abstaining from unchastity: This, monks, is called right action."
5. Right Livelihood - samma ajiva
"And what, monks, is right livelihood? There is the case where a disciple of the noble ones, having abandoned dishonest livelihood, keeps his life going with right livelihood: This, monks, is called right livelihood."
Concentration (Mental Development)(samadhi)
6. Right Effort (or Right Endeavour) - samma vayama
"And what, monks, is right effort?
This, monks, is called right effort."
7. Right Mindfulness - samma sati
"And what, monks, is right mindfulness?
This, monks, is called right mindfulness."
8. Right Concentration - samma samadhi
"And what, monks, is right concentration?
This, monks, is called right concentration."

The ninth and tenth elements
In the Great Forty Sutra (Mahacattarisaka Sutta), which appears in the Pali Canon, the Buddha explains that cultivation of the Eightfold Path leads to the development of two further stages once enlightenment has been reached. These also fall under the category of pañña and are Right Knowledge (sammanana) and Right Liberation (or Right Release; sammavimutti). Some consider Right Association as an implicit ninth aspect of the Path.

So this blog is a little different! I chose to dedicate this one to the things that have inspired me. This theme i chose because when i pick up my camera i usually have a set theme in mind. This time around i had the theme of "picking up the camera and shooting how i feel inside". Lately i've been going through many changes and transitions in my life. I'm dealing with growing up and accepting the fact that i'm in complete control of my destiny and that's such a wonderful thing.
As most people i know would say about my pictures is that almost all of them are in black and white! There is good reason for that. It's simple,black and white is what i love! I've loved it since i was a child and that will never change. I love black and white so much because i feel that it captures that certain raw appeal to the viewer and it it's so honest and pure. I mean there is even a saying..."seeing things in black and white". Seeing things in black and white is seeing things as they truly are; honest and to the point.
With color their are things that can distract you from the main point. Don't get me wrong because i am a big fan of color! In fact i love bright colors! So things from anywhere and everywhere inspire me when i take a picture. Sometimes if i'm sleeping a concept for a picture will creep up on me and then i'll get my camera and snap it up! My creative juices are constantly flowing and they NEVER shut off but i love that. T
he pictures i have of Rihanna, The Biker Chicks, Boy George, and of a couple of editorial pics, have inspired me to snap those pictures of myself. I love the 60's decade. I consider myself the new -aged hippie with 80's accents thrown in there. Boy George is my hero and he wasn't afraid to take risks in fashion during a time where it was branded that being safe was more appealing to the public. Rihanna is my fashion icon! Among others i love her fashion sense. Her and I think very simularly.
I mean she and I are drawn to things that are edgey, free flowing and graceful with a touch of class involved. I'm a free spirited person who stands on her own two feet and depends on nothing and no one but myself and the legs i stand on, which can at times be seen as being a rebel. But above all things that inspire me, music is the center of my universe. Music inspires me do live and be who i am and grow as a person. I think that music inspires everyone because if it didn't fashion would NOT exist! So my inspiration stems from all around me....what inspires you?

I condemn in the strongest possible terms the bombing in Jerusalem today, as well as the rockets and mortars fired from Gaza in recent days. Together with the American people, I offer my deepest condolences for those injured or killed. There is never any possible justification for terrorism.
The United States calls on the groups responsible to end these attacks at once and we underscore that Israel, like all nations, has a right to self-defense. We also express our deepest condolences for the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza yesterday.
We stress the importance of calm and urge all parties to do everything in their power to prevent further violence and civilian casualties.

J. D. Rockefeller as a Road Builder.
The New York Times
TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 24.—The Trustes of the village of North Tarrytown last night voted permission to John D. Rockefeller to raise, grade, and improve the junction of the Bedford Road with the Sleepy Hollow and County House Road. This work will cost Mr. Rockefeller about $5,000. He is building a new road besides. Within the last year or so he has built about two miles of streets for the village at his own expense.

I flew high today.
Up in an airplane, up, up, way, way up.
I'll tell you what I saw: everything.
I saw round and rolling and creased and pulled. The hills looked like soft mama bellies. They were pristine, these hills. I wanted to lay into them. Really, I wanted to be dropped from the plane down onto one of their peaks.
Because, see, there was nothing around. Nothing anywhere. These hills, they just upped and then downed all over themselves and there was nothing for miles and miles. I wanted to be in the middle of it. I wanted to be alone there, in a small round something, with nothing but wild around me for as long as I needed the wild.
I saw tall, craggy mountains. They flew up, strident and sure. They did not dare apologize for what they are or what they do. Their posture was perfect.
And then, as I continued to fly, I drifted over liquid glitter - lakes and rivers so still, and then suddenly alight and alive right from inside of themselves.
"That's what my middle looks like sometimes."
He nodded.
"Have I ever told you how much I love that faint birthmark on your neck?"
There was nothing outside of my tiny round window that looked of gloss or smooth or ruler-straight.
There was nothing that transmitted the words "easy" or "hide" or "don't".
Every single thing I saw with my brand-new eyes today was as exquisite as the faint birthmark on my neck.
And so.
Now I've landed.
And so: now, to see.

Rome: Juventus secured their third back-to-back Italian league title as their nearest rivals, Roma suffered a shock defeat at relegation fighting Catania.
Rudi Garcia`s side needed a win to keep their slim hopes alive, but after the debacle at Catania, they now trail Old Lady by eight points with only two games left in the season. Roma fell 2-0 behind through captain Mariano Izco`s double inside the first 35 minutes.
Skipper Francesco Totti did reduced the deficit before the half-time, but Gonzalo Bergessio and Pablo Barrientos scored in 55th and 79th minutes respectively to help the home side register one of their most famous victories in recent times.
In a record breaking season, Roma (85) already set a new club record of points in a single season while Juventus (93) are on course to reach the 100-point mark with three matches remaining, a record no team has ever achieved in Italy's top flight competition.
Assured of their third successive title, Antonio Conte and his wards will celebrate their Scudetto success with a title-winning party when they host mid-table Atalanta on Monday.

Sejong Hakdang, Affordable Korean Classes
Some people simply don't learn things well on their own. They, however, might excel in a classroom setting. Yet classes can be expensive. Luckily for us all, there is an affordable option to learn Korean that just might be available to you: Sejong Hakdang. Sejong Hakdang are Korean language institutes dotted across the world to promote the Korean language across the world. Even if there is not a institute near you Sejong Hakdang can still help you in your endeavours to learn Korean.
Sejong Hakdang In The World
You might wonder what is this Sejong Hakdang I speak of. The answer, my inquisitive reader, is very simple. In many countries, Korean is only taught in universities and in many others they simply don't teach Korean anywhere. That need to be fixed someone probably in Korea thought. Therefore Sejong Hakdang was founded by the Korean government. Its goal is to help spread Korean language further and offer accessible Korean language courses.
As of 2016 Sejong Hakdang has 144 institutes dotted across the globe. Every year you can register at those locations to attend Korean language classes and Korean language related events, such as the yearly Korean Speaking Contest. One of the major advantages their institutes have is the quality of their classes and the price at which they offer these quality classes. The prices are very affordable and there is no lack in quality, not in the materials they use, nor the teachers who will teach you.
You might be wondering how I know this. That is another easy question to answer. Up until now I attended Korean classes at the institute located in the Brussels. The only reason I am not attending classes this year is due to a difficult choice I had to make. Either enter TOPIK or register for another round of classes at Sejong Hakdang. I decided to do TOPIK this year. I do miss my classmates, my teachers and the weekly classes. Next year I'll probably be attending the classes again!
If you want to see if there is a Sejong Hakdang located near you, you can use their map. Unfortunately it is only available in Korean.
Sejong Hakdang On The Web
Even though there are 144 institutes across the world, there is still a chance there is nothing of Sejong Hakdang near you. That, however, doesn't mean you have to give up! Sejong Hakdang can still be there for you. The good people who work tirelessly from Korea to promote the Korean language also maintain a website which is affectionately called 누리 세종학당, World Sejong Hakdang.
누리 세종학당, World Sejong Hakdang, offers a wide selection of materials that can help you learn Korean. The best part of that website is that it is completely free for anyone to use. To use all of what is available, you just need to create an account. Afterwards the wonders of the website are available to you and this includes:
- Interactive learning modules
- Korean language textbooks
- Webcomics you can use to learn Korean
- And a lot more…
As you can see it has a lot of things to offer for free, making it a great option to kickstart your Korean language journey. The great thing about this website is that they are continuously working hard to make it even better. When I first started using the site it was bare bones and the English version was hardly complete. Now it is very functional with a lot of variety and available in multiple languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese!
And On Your Phone
Recently the hard-working people behind 누리 세종학당, World Sejong Hakdang, released an app for IOS and Android. This is another completely free language tool you can use to help you master Korean. However, this app has one major drawback: It isn't well optimized. A lot of the files it uses are stored locally and those files are the countless images it uses for its flashcards. So make sure you have plenty of free storage when downloading it. It also comes with two fun comes: balloon popping and crossword puzzles. Can be a fun way to learn Korean when you are bored.
- Download it from Google Play Store if you use an Android device,
- Or download it from ITunes if you use an IOS device.
Pssst! There is currently a contest going on where you need to help them promote their website. why don't you give them a hand and you might win a small prize. Isn't that great?

Shortly after 8 a.m., a dollar was lost by a member of the general public in a legal slot machine in Maryland for the first time in more than 40 years. The moment probably lacked some of the satisfying drama one associates with slot machines — a quarter dropping into a slot, an arm being pulled, clicking reels; all that has largely been replaced by casino credits, push buttons and electronic displays. But the occasion was an important one nonetheless. After a decade and a half of debate, the opening of the Hollywood Casino in Perryville meant Maryland has finally joined most of its neighbors in expanding gambling to shore up its finances. Whoever lost that dollar just paid 67 cents to the state treasury.
As welcome as it is in a time of fiscal crisis for Maryland to tap into so lucrative a potential revenue stream as slots, the story of the Hollywood Casino and the state's foray into casinos in general is a reminder that there is no such thing as easy money. The road to get here was tortuous, but the state still has tricky waters to navigate to nurture and maintain its slots program. We have entered a highly competitive industry in which other states are already trying to beat us out, and we have, for the first time, placed a significant portion of our state's fiscal future in the hands of corporations whose interests don't necessarily align with our own. The debate over whether to expand gambling is over for now, but the debate over how to make slots succeed has only just begun.

Shareholders aren't getting value for money from Australia's corporate leaders, a union says.
The Construction, Forestry, Energy and Mining Union (CFMEU) highlighted a new report by investment broker CLSA that shows Australian CEOs are paid a greater percentage of net profit than their Asia-Pacific colleagues.
The union says it's evidence that local executives need to work harder.
Hong Kong-based CLSA also examined 200 listed Australian firms and found no link between executive pay and shareholder returns.
"This research shows that Australians tend to get very poor value from their CEOs and company directors," CFMEU national secretary Michael O'Connor said.
"While the Australian business lobby is forever trying to draw a false link between the Fair Work Act and productivity, it turns out that the main productivity challenge is to be found among our senior executives."

Megan Fox tattoos have created a buzz throughout the internet, Hollywood and fashion world. Some people like them and others dislike them, especially the tribal tattoo. A lot of the revenge is assigned to several aspects, two of which are definitely jealousy and close mindedness. We think they are amazing because they are innovative, hot and simply look great on her. She has many tattoos with various range style. Megan was located her tattoo at back, behind the right shoulder, left ribcage, inner left ankle, center of the back of her neck, etc.
Here are some pictures of Megan Fox tattoo ideas to inspire you.

Abstract: Pure TiO2 nanoparticles, TiO2/9 wt %CNT and TiO2/18 wt %CNT nanocomposites were fabricated by sol-gel method and the CNTs in TiO2/CNT nanocomposite were grown under the catalysis of Ni film in thermally chemical deposition process. The TiO2/CNT was characterized and analyzed by field-emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and x-ray diffractometer. The results showed that the pure TiO2 nanoparticles have anatase form when calcination temperature T ≦ 500 °C, and partly become rutile form when T ≧ 550 °C. The CNTs embedded in TiO2 could retard the phase transformation of TiO2 from anatase into rutile. The grain sizes of anatase and rutile phases ranged from 10.1 to 27.7 nm and essentially increase with increase in calcinations temperature. The CNTs in composite could reduce the adsorption and the photocatalytic degradation of azo dye (AO7).
Exhaust Emission Reduction from Compression Ignition Engine by Using Palm Biodiesel Blended with Nano Zinc Oxide Additive
Abstract: Biofuel modifications play a major role in a substitution for fossil fuel to be used in diesel engines and reducing exhaust emission. The most amounts of crude palm oil produced from Asian region can be an alternative fuel, sustainably. By the modifying crude palm oil into pure palm oil biodiesel (POB100), alkali trans-esterification procedure was operated. In the present, the high-quality POB products have been investigated considerably for alternative fuel in 4-cylinders high-speed diesel engine. The aim of this paper is to study in the improvement of POB quality by repeated-distillation and blending POB with nanoZnO additive. The high-speed engine combustion from consuming blended POB fuel were investigated the influences of exhaust emission under speed engine operation of 2,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm. The experimental results were shown that the POB fuel yielded at 84.54% from using 400 g. of raw materials. Both of redistilled POB and POB blended with nanoZnO additive showed the improvement of physical properties including viscosity, specific gravity and cetane number values being under ASTM standard values for high-speed engine. In addition, the results of exhaust emission from the engine showed the effective decrease of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) around 13% due to using redistilled POB and POB blended nanoZnO additive compared with diesel fuel. Unburned hydrocarbon (HC) and nitric oxide (NOx) emissions of the diesel fuel condition. Therefore, this study suggests that nanoZnO blending POB in the small fraction about 0.005 wt% is able to provide the high potentiality for as a clean and alternative fuel.
Abstract: Hydrophobic textile is a type of smart fabrics. Some of it are commonly coated with small particles and finally treated by water repellent agent in terms of acquiring its hydrophobic property. This research describes how hydrophobic textile are formed from its initial form of fabrics and even yarn, which are fibers. Synthesis process was commenced through wet spinning of viscose rayon mixed with nanorod silica which has been formerly produced with sol gel method. These fibers were then coated with chitosan and dried out by vacuum instrument. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) results showed that nanorod silica were well attached on the fibers. Followed by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) mapping characterization, silica particles were moderately dispersed on its surface, performing roughness and creating hydrophobic effect. In addition, several characterization methods correlated to water absorption of the fibers were conducted. Fibers swelling percentage decreased from 50.2% to 17.13%, while moisture regain (MR) number also decreased from 14.28 to 10.72.
Abstract: A new-type high performance cold-patch mixture was made from new-type cold-patch asphalt emulsion, which is able to promote the adhesive effect of asphalt and aggregate. This new mixture boasts advantages such as good workability and being free from bad weather like rain and low temperature. During the production, the evaluation method of cold-patch asphalt material was improved by the adoption of rotary viscosity test and paper trail test. Field tests were carried out on some sections of Linchang Expressway. When compared to existing repair materials, the new-type cold-patch mixture showed better repair effect as well as the potential for a wide range of promotion.
Research on the Performance of Polymer Modified Cement Matrix Grouting Material Mixed with Polyvinyl Alcohol Fiber
Abstract: This research was based on indoor experiment to find out the performance of polymer modified cement matrix injecting paste material mixed with polyvinyl alcohol fiber. Results showed that polyvinyl alcohol fiber had a positive effect on the performance of polymer modified cement injecting paste material where the flexural and compressive strength of the injecting paste material were both increased evidently with a 6mm fiber while the fluidity of it changed little, and meanwhile the flexural and compressive strength of the injecting paste material could be largely increased with a 1.0% content of fiber.
Abstract: High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (HPFRC) became very popular material for its high mechanical strength, elastic modulus and corrosion resistance. However, also its high-temperature resistance is of a particular importance because of the fire safety. Therefore, the effect of high-temperature exposure on UHPC reinforced by combination of steel and PVA fibers was studied in the paper. PVA fibers were used to moderate concrete damage induced by water vapor evaporation from dense UHPC matrix. The UHPFRC samples were exposed to the temperatures of 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C, 800 °C, and 1 000 °C respectively. Concrete structural changes induced by high temperature action were described by the measurement of basic physical and mechanical properties. The realized experiments provide information on the changes of concrete porosity and loss of mechanical resistivity.
Abstract: The present study aims to investigate the engineering properties of foam lightweight material (FLM) that was produced using a mixture of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and limestone powder (LP). The FLM samples were prepared with various proportions of LP (10%, 20%, and 30%) and different percentages of foam (9%, 12%, and 15%). Properties of the FLM were evaluated through the values of compressive strength, dry density, porosity, and thermal conductivity. Test results show that the foam contents affected all properties of the FLM significantly, whereas LP contents showed the insignificant effect to the FLM properties. Furthermore, the results of the present study showed a close correlation between porosity and other properties of the FLM as higher porosity resulted in lower density and thus lower thermal conductivity and mechanical strength.
Properties of Modified Lime-Based Plasters for Renewal of Historical Buildings Exposed to Accelerated Carbonation Test
Abstract: This paper deals with determination of basic physical, mechanical, thermal and water transport properties of lime–based plasters whose composition was modified by the addition of diatomaceous earth. To eliminate possible deterioration of original lime plaster by natural weathering, the hydrophobic admixtures on the stearate and oleate basis were added into the plaster mixtures and boiled linseed oil as a painting was applied. All studied material parameters were tested after 28 days of wet curing and after exposition to accelerated carbonation. The results of examined properties of developed plasters gave promising outcomes for the use of hydrophobised materials in renewal of historical buildings. Based on the obtained data, plaster made of lime hydrate, diatomite, and combination of water repellent agents can be recommended for renovation purposes.
Abstract: The atomic stress tensor at a given continuum point is a spatial average value of some volume near the point. Recent progresses in multiscale modeling include the dealing of the optimal number and the size of these volumes. In this paper, we motivate the application of Iterative self-organizing data analysis technique algorithm to estimate volume numbers. The size of these space averaging volumes then could be got using Gaussian mixture model. Reduced computation complexity is offered by this method. Atomistic simulations are conducted to analyze the stress of a stone-wales defect graphene sheet to validate the method. Other multiscale values could also be determined using this method.
Evaluation of Tri-Axial Magnetostriction in Cube-Oriented Fe-Ga Single Crystal by Using X-Ray Diffraction Method
Abstract: We carried out in situ tri-axial magnetostriction analysis for cube-oriented Fe-18%Ga single crystal by X-ray diffraction measurement under magnetic field. Periodic change in tri-axial magnetostriction with applied magnetic field direction was clearly observed. However, those values in [100] and [010] directions were not equivalent. Theoretical calculation of magnetostriction considering domain structure revealed this is caused by the non-equivalent volume fraction of initial magnetic domains.

It's the weekend...big whoopity do.
I guess there are a couple of reasons why it's bothering me so much this time around. First of all, summer is quickly slipping away and we haven't done a whole lot of summery things yet. The kids will be back in school in two and a half weeks and our weekends will be spent preparing for the week ahead and going to little league games. Another aspect to this, is that I feel guilty for not doing more things with the kids during the summer. This is their childhood and I'm afraid they're not going to have many fond memories of fun summer days.
The second reason it's bothering me so much is because this flare is accompanied by the fog. It could be an enjoyable weekend spent at home if my mind were clear. I could do some writing, I could read a book, or something, anything. Instead, my mind is just drifting in this horrible fog. It's very distressing. I feel like my life is drifting away from me or that I'm a ghost observing my life from the outside looking in. It's weird. Disturbing. And not enjoyable. I find it so hard to believe that people takes drugs with the intention of feeling this way. I hate it. I want my mind back.
But I am not going to spend the whole weekend feeling sorry for myself. Instead, I'm going to spend the weekend caring for myself and trying to heal. My plans for the weekend include stretching, massaging, applying moist heat, and performing healing meditations. All the pain I'm experiencing right now is caused by my myofascial trigger points so all this should help with the pain. The brain fog, well, that's another story. I don't know what to do about that. I guess while I'm sitting on the heating pad I can browse the internet looking for something that will help with it. If I find any useful suggestions, I'll be sure to share them.

Well, at least you haven't done like me........start out having a decent weekend and RUIN it by doing too much. I simply overdid it yesterday shopping, and today all I've felt like doing is lazing around or laying in bed.
You're absolutely right about the fibro fog! WHY would anyone WANT to feel like this or take drugs to feel like this. I feel so out of control of my life because my brain just doesn't function correctly anymore. All this weekend my husband has been saying, "Are you OK? You don't seem like your 'with' me!" Well you big idiot (my hubby) do you think I ENJOY being spaced out???? Arrgghh, that really gets under my skin. It's bad enough that I feel like this, but him commenting on it makes it worse!
Oh well, I didn't mean to just gripe on here. It just seems to come naturally with the fibro fog!
Hope you feel better Trish and get some more 'summery' activities in before time runs out.

It's so easy to overdo it. Even after all these years, I rarely think of the consequences of doing too much.
You'd think our husbands would know what was going on with us by now. Sometimes mine gets it. He'll ask me something three times before I slowly answer and he doesn't say a word. But other times he seems surprised or confused by it.(shakes head in exasperation)
I hope you get rested up.

We were so impressed with Kim's boarding. She had both of our dogs for 6 days (what a saint) and she made sure to keep us well informed with how they were doing. Kim is very personable and accommodating. I would highly recommend her!
It was meant for us to meet, my little girl loves Kim and her family. This was my 4th time having Kim watch Lola Marie for me and every time I am super comfortable leaving her in her home. Kim sends me photos which is comforting. Knowing that Kim cares for many breeds assures me that my LolaMarie is ok while other dogs are present.
Kim was wonderful with my dogs. She is a pro!

I'm really struggling with number of calories I should be eating.
I have a 3.5 year old, and my 2nd baby is just turning 7 months old. I was 155 lbs
before getting pregnant (but that was 10lbs over my normal weight...we had lost rare twins 5 months along in their pregnancy in that year and I had a hard time bouncing back physically).
I'm down to 160 right now, but I've been at this weight, give or take 2 lbs for 2 months now. I'm not nursing, I'm 5'4, and I just turned 33. I try to workout 4 or 5 times a week. I do Orange Theory Fitness twice a week and try to run or do a hike or a workout video the other three times a week.
Help me!
I'm not sure what orange theory fitness is, but you might need some major weight training and high intensity intervals to really drop pounds. Running and hiking is great cardiovascular training - but it won't actually help you lose any weight. You said you do fitness videos - if you don't have weights t home and you don't have access to a gym - start doing more finesse videos that are body weight training. I know I could run and run and run - but I never lost a pound without doing a million squats and push-ups! Good luck!!!!
Sorry to hear of your loss. Bouncing back after that would be more difficult for anyone.
Since your weight has been steady for a while, this means that you are at an energy balance point, in terns of metabolism and calorie consumption.
Your predicted daily metabolism is 2090, so your target for weight loss is 1590, on your low/no exercise days. On your workout days, your need to add in 10%-15% depending on duration and intensity. Your runs will burn the most cals, on on these days, you can add up to 20%, if your run for an hour.
On days that you do a 30 min toning video, you don't need to add more than 5%.
You're fit and active, so give yourself time to evolve back from your 'mommy' body to your pre-preg physique. Most women find that with each baby, bouncing back takes a bit longer. Slow and steady will win this race, boring, yeah maybe, but true.

Ethan's 3rd Birthday was a blast!!! We just had a family party and it was really nice. My parents were there along with Thabo, Tyler and Kari and their 3 kids, Jac's parents and 2 brothers and friend were there....and the best part was that we fit in our house!!!! yeah!!! Thank you everyone for coming! You all added to the night and it wouldn't have been the same without you.
I can't believe that Ethan is THREE!!! He has given us so much joy from the moment he entered this world. I am so grateful to be his mommy. Ethan is so funny. An update on how much he wants to be his daddy: Every morning he wants to get dressed first before he does anything else and has to put on his "contacts." He loves Emery with all of his heart and they are definitely best friends! Ethan really wanted a birthday hat for his birthday and Emery was gone for a minute and came back with his "birthday hat." She had gotten some paper and cut out a crown for him and stapled it together. (This is the last picture in this post)
A friend asked him how old he was going to be, and so he held out his hand in a "number 2" position and said, "I'm going to be more than that."
I love you Buster Brown!!

Now that I'm older, the emotional sensitivity has waned a bit—I still feel strong emotional reactions, but I manage them a lot better—while the physical sensitivity has blown up. By "physical sensitivity", I refer to everything outside the realm of emotion: foods, chemicals, radiation and the such.
Why has the severity of my physical sensitivity seemingly switched rank with my emotional sensitivity? Can my healthier grip on emotions simply be explained by maturity? Then, why is my body suddenly less tolerant to a host of things I used to tolerate just fine? Looking back at the timeline of my life, it seems as though a rather dramatic shift toward substance intolerance began early last year—right after I started my Lyme treatment, which begs the question: did starting treatment suddenly cause my body to reject such substances?
Now for some disturbing, pathetic yet sometimes funny examples.
Candy and Wine
I used to be a wine drinker. Specifically, white wine—especially chardonnay and riesling. Only about two years ago (which seems like a whole lifetime ago), I was singlehandedly drinking at least one to two bottles of wine per week. Granted, that's not an alarming "alcoholics anonymous" amount, but it was definitely a necessary crutch to get me through some stressful times. Wine gave me a happy high, a blissful calm, a joyous washing away of tension. Oh wine, I miss you sometimes.
I was always a lightweight drinker. Just a few sips of a drink and the warm fuzzies would begin. Some people have said it's because I'm thin, but my slimness is an illusion. At 5'8" with slim arms and legs, but a curvy bust, hips and thighs, I've weighed a consistent 147 pounds for years. I think my lightweight drunkenness tendency has more to do with my liver's inability to detoxify toxins than anything about being slim.
Anyway, I had my last alcoholic drink at a raucous party on December 31, 2010. But last fall, I boldly dared to take one sip (okay, it may have been more of a gulp than a sip) of my father's chardonnay when he was in town visiting. At that point, I had been alcohol-free for 10 months, and hardly expected anything from that taste but a palette-pleasing moment of savoriness.
One or two minutes after swallowing, I became overwhelmed by a simultaneous headache and urge to vomit. It didn't take long for the headache developed into a migraine and extreme fatigue. I didn't vomit, but I was nauseous for more than a day.
I really can't explain why such a small amount of wine—certainly a small fraction of what I used to tolerate just fine—gave me such a horrendous reaction, especially since I've never had such a reaction from even half a bottle of wine at once. I also don't think I was taking any medications at the time that interacted with alcohol. Somehow my body had developed an intolerance that I would soon learn expanded far beyond beverages.
About six months ago, one night while a friend was staying with me, we were watching TV and a Skittles commercial came on. "I have a big craving for Skittles right now!" I exclaimed. The next day, while stopped at a gas station, my friend bought me a bag of Skittles. Although a voice in my head told me, "Leila, you can't eat those, they're loaded with myriad toxins and dyes," I opened the pack and picked out a few of my favorite colors: a few reds and a couple oranges and yellows. I can't remember the exact number, but it was maybe a total of six Skittles.
I had one of the worst reactions I've ever had from anything. After an hour or two, I was dizzy, I couldn't stand, I couldn't think clearly or open my eyes, and worst of all, I was overcome by an epic sense of depression and despair. I could have hurt myself. Thankfully, I didn't. It was such a frightening feeling, as though a monster or alien had possessed my thoughts.
All from a small handful of Skittles? So bizarre. I used to eat those as a kid. Why does my body reject things now that I used to tolerate just fine?
For as long as I can remember, I've had a hard time tolerating hairdye, which is why I switched from dye to henna a few years ago (the henna nicely covers my greys).
Several years ago, I was dying my hair fire-engine red in my then-boyfriend's bathroom with the door shut so his roommates wouldn't see me. As soon as I finished applying the dye and piled my gooey crimson hair on top of my head, I noticed how stuffy and warm it had gotten in the bathroom. Suddenly I thought I was going to vomit, and then I grew very weak. Next thing I knew, my boyfriend's voice was calling out my name. I couldn't understand why he was waking me up, since—in my mind—I was peacefully sleeping in my bed. It turned out, I had fainted and was lying on the bathroom floor in what looked like a pool of blood.
What's more, I had fallen against the wall, so the dye on my hair had left a permanent red streak straight down the wall. As you can imagine, it looked like a murder scene!
These days, not only must I avoid hairdyes, I also avoid hair salons and nail salons. The fumes cause my nervous system to flare.
More recently, I've tried more heavy-duty cosmetics thinking I would tolerate them since millions of other women do. Last Christmas, I received a free bottle of Latisse, a liquid you paint onto the roots of your eyelashes to stimulate growth, and another time I applied an at-home skin peel to my upper back to remove some acne hyperpigmentation. Both products have been used at-home by millions of women with little-to-no side effects.
Well, the Latisse got into my eye (which is kind of inevitable), where it travelled down my tear duct into my sinuses, from where it traveled into my cheek tissue, and my whole face swelled up like a balloon. Both my upper and lower eyelids, my entire left cheek, the tip of my nose and the left half of my upper lip swelled up, and my entire upper lip was numb as though it had been injected with novacaine. (This reaction, I was told by Latisse, is "extremely rare" and in fact I'm in the product's only documented case I've been able to find on the Internet.)
The chemical peel, when applied as directed to my upper back, gave me a systemic reaction including such symptoms as hot flashes, vertigo, nausea, and the following strange incident: twelve hours after its application, I awoke from sleep burning up, walked into the bathroom, felt a ringing in my ears, and lay on the bathroom floor in a stunned, almost paralyzed bout of stupor for about half an hour before I was able to stand again. The next day, the skin on my back was burnt like teriyaki chicken.
Below are photos of my results with Latisse (left) and the chemical peel (right). Note: The products were used several months apart.
Maybe it's a good thing that a little of everything goes a long way. Maybe everything (corners of pills included) is in fact working, and I just don't need much of it. If that's the case, I certainly save money this way!
I recently had to fight with Pacific Gas & Electric to remove the smart meters they had installed on the side of my house. It took a few months, and I had to pay an extra fee, but I won. They're gone.
It's so important to me that I limit all the radiation and electromagnetic fields to which I'm exposed, because they zap my energy.
Bottom Line
But there are times when I have to be a normal member of society, especially because I have nobody to help me. There are big box stores and pharmacies and wireless networks and many other triggers I didn't even get around to in this entry, (like molds and loud noises, for example), which I just can't avoid. I can do my best, but my best sometimes feels like a sole soldier fighting a whole army.
Perhaps the biggest challenge of all is dealing with the judgments cast by other people. They don't understand why I react so strongly to all of the above, and quite frankly, neither do I. "Lyme disease" isn't an adequate answer. Besides, I've learned enough throughout this journey to know it's far more than just Lyme disease—but a host of cofactors including genetic predispositions—that account for my symptoms. So I never know how to explain it.
If only I could better understand what makes me so multi-facetedly sensitive, maybe I'd know what I could do to change it.
