Where Do I Start? A Beginners Guide to Wargaming....
- with Greg
A reader/listener recently asked on our Facebook group whether we had any guides for new players on any of our podcast episodes. Now, I'm pretty sure we've covered it off in various ways, shapes and forms over the course of the 30+ that we've recorded, but it kinda makes sense to have a bit of a how-to guide here on the blog, right? So...here it goes....
Disclaimer: The suggestions that follow are not intended to encompass the be-all and end-all of getting into this great hobby. They're merely my ideas and thoughts on the process.
1. Local Games Stores and Clubs
By far the easiest way to get started in the hobby is to find a club of like-minded people to get involved with. With the plethora of social media available to you, finding someone or something is as easy as typing some key words into Google or Facebook and you're away! Failing that, if you have an LGS in your general vicinity, you'll likely find a group of people who frequent such a locale with whom to get your game on!
Depending which game tickles your fancy, there will likely be an open day or a demo day where you can go in and try out your system of choice without actually having to make a purchase. This brings me nicely to my next point.
2. Try Before You Buy
I'm not going to sugar coat this point. This is not a cheap hobby if you start getting deeper and deeper into your chosen system or period. Even the initial outlay for an army can be, in some instances, hundreds of dollars worth of models before you even consider buying paint, brushes, basing materials, dice and all the other assorted bits and bobs.
And once you start, it's pretty tough to stop!
I recommend at least trying a couple of games of your chosen system before you really commit to getting into it. If you've already found an LGS or Club to get involved with, then you're probably in luck and one of the members will probably be kind enough to loan you some man-dollies to have a game with and run you through the rules as well. If they're REALLY nice, they mighty even let you win....
3. Slow Burn or Whole Hog?
So, you've found a club and tried the game you were interested in.....AND YOU FRAKING LOVE IT!
Do you:
a) Immediately buy everything you need for your chosen army and get to work painting and building, or
b) Start with a couple of key units first.
In actuality, both options have pros and cons associated with them.
If you go the whole hog, you're immediately going to have everything there and ready to go. Its tangible and the pile of unpainted lead/plastic/resin shrinks at the rate comparable to effort you put in. This can also be detriment as it can seem, at times, that there is no progress and this can take a bit of the shine off your new toys.
The slow burn option allows you a little more time to get your project done but at the expense of having everything there. Having all your troops available means you can add variety to your painting challenges while only having a couple of units, while exciting to see finished, can make for a boring painting experience.
Regardless of which option you choose, you're going to have to keep yourself motivated to get them table ready! There is only so long that your opponents will be able to see masses of grey and silver advancing on them as opposed the vibrant and exciting colours of a fully painted force. And if you're intending on entering tournaments, you'll find there is usually a minimum painting requirement for entry.
Set yourself challenges or goals with your painting, this helps keep it exciting and always have a "reward" model or unit (typically your general or some other such character or big model) that you can only touch once you've finished a unit or two of rank and file.
4. Tournaments?
You have this newly-bought, freshly-painted, ready to go army! So what next? There is nothing wrong with playing and running it at your local store/club and nothing more than that. Not a damned thing at all! A lot of players never enter into the tournament scene at all and have a long and enjoyable hobby experience.
There is a lot that can be said for playing in tournaments and, if they're run right, they can be some of the most amazing and rewarding gaming experiences. There are a few reasons for this.
a) New and different opponents: Facing a new challenger across the table whom you've never faced before who's fielding a force you've never battled against is a challenge in itself. What strategy do you take in? What tactics do you employ? Do they have something on their side which will completely neutralize your strongest units?
This is part of the fun of the hobby; facing off against the new challenge and coming away with either a glorious victory in the face of overwhelming odds....or getting your ass handed to you and learning a few new tricks in the process.
b) New Adversaries become mates: That's right! Someone whom you've never met suddenly becomes a friend because you both share similar interests! Who'd have thunk it, right?
c) New Ideas: If anything, heading to a tournament can introduce you to a raft of new ideas and games that you never knew existed, but you want to be part of.
Warning: Not all tournaments are created equal and you may end up at a tournament in which you just don't have a good time or have any fun at all. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to avoid it but as long as you go into the event with a positive attitude and the intent of having fun, you've done all you can!
As I said, tournaments aren't for everyone but I would recommend playing at least one...just to see if you're one of the people who just like the casual scene. What have you got to lose?!
In summary, there are a couple of things that are a given in getting into miniature wargames:
a) You'll have to spend some money. There really isn't any way of avoiding this. Toy soldiers and the accessories to play are not free.
b) Seeking out a club or local store offers you the greatest potential in terms of advice and opposition.
c) Always try before you buy. If you go balls deep and then find out you hate the game, you're likely gonna run at a loss.
The last point, IMHO, is the most important:
d) At the end of the day, its just a game. Games are made to be fun and enjoyable.
I hope this helps in some small way if you're thinking about joining us in this fantastic hobby.

I disagree with point a.) Barter/trade/bludging can go a hell of a long way-sometimes all the way in fact as long as you have something/some skill the other gamer wants and needs. (They might not need it so convince them! heh.) It is possible to go so cheap people might end up owing you $$$ or favours.ReplyDelete

Palliative Medicine
What is Palliative Medicine?
People mistakenly believe Palliative Care is the route of care one goes through when there is no cure and no further treatment available. In actuality Palliative Care can be given to any patient at any stage of his or her disease. Good palliative care is holistic patient care. It can even help one recover from his illness by treating the symptoms of his disease and those associated with his treatment whilst other doctors work with the patient to try and cure him.
Palliative Care is aimed at improving QUALITY OF LIFE of a patient whether his disease is curative, long standing or life threatening. Palliative Care relieves pain and other uncomfortable symptoms, provide emotional support for the patient and his carers and assists a patient in making difficult medical decisions.
Palliative Care is an important aspect of excellent cancer care. It is common to find uncertainty, fear and a sense of hopelessness among cancer patients and their carers. We encourage discussion to identify problem areas where we can work together towards preservation of quality of life for both the patients and their carers.
Common symptoms managed :
1) Chronic and Acute Cancer Pain
2) Breathlessness
3) Lethargy
4) Poor appetite / nutrition
5) Excessive weight loss
6) Nausea and Vomiting
7) Agitation
8) Poor mobility
Managing Cancer Pain effectively
Living with cancer doesn't mean that one has to put up with unbearable pain. Unrelieved pain destroys quality of life for both the patient and the family.
The course of cancer pain can be unpredictable. However, cancer pain can be managed effectively and safely with appropriate titration of pain killers and the use of adjunct medications. Many of our cancer patients continue to live active lifestyles with excellent pain and symptom management.
Good palliative care and appropriate use of pain killers relieve cancer pain in 90% of patients. Let us help you or your loved ones overcome cancer pain.

Washington County liquor board officials fined a Hagerstown restaurant $1,000 on Wednesday for what they said was failure to control illegal drug activity at the establishment.
Charles F. Mades, treasurer of the Board of License Commissioners for Washington County, said the three-member board decided to fine El Palenque Cantina Restaurant at 204 E. Franklin St. because the business has had several violations of the law since it opened in 2007.
Co-owners Jose and Craribel Arias, and their attorney, Arthur Schneider, appeared before the liquor board on Wednesday to respond to charges from Hagerstown police that illegal drug activity occurred in and outside the restaurant last month.
"I'm not saying your customers are intelligent, but they're smart enough to know to come in there," Mades said. "I think they're taking advantage of you ... and it's going to be up to you to get a handle on that by prohibiting certain customers from coming in."
Mades suggested that Jose Arias give unwanted customers "trespass letters" to ban them from the business.
"The message has to be sent," Mades said. "I appreciate the cooperation between you and the police department. The best message to be sent to your customer base it that you're not going to put up with that anymore ... these people have no respect for you or your business. It's up to you to get a handle on it."
Jose Arias told the liquor board before the fine was imposed that he has taken several measures, including allowing only one person in the restroom at a time to curb illegal activity.
"We try to keep that clean. We don't allow too many people in the back," Arias said.
Hagerstown police Detective Nick Varner said the incident in question occurred Dec. 9, when people inside the business went outside and allegedly sold crack cocaine to police agents.
Varner said the alleged drug dealers then went back inside and, recognizing a police presence, stashed the money in a crack in the restaurant's bar area.
Arias said he didn't see the drug activity take place.
Varner said police recently have also experienced trouble in the neighborhood surrounding El Palenque.
"We have never had an issue with cooperation down there," Varner said of Jose Arias' collaboration with police.
The board said the Ariases have 30 days to appeal the fine in Washington County Circuit Court.
Jose Arias, who also is a co-owner of the Broad Axe restaurant at 28 W. Washington St. in Hagerstown, said earlier this month that he intends to sell that restaurant due to the sluggish economy.

"Wake Up and Sing" with Red Yarn
Folksongs and Puppetry for Families
Red Yarn (aka Andy Furgeson who is an Austin native) is a family performer and teaching artist in Portland, OR. Since 2012, Red Yarn has played more than 200 shows a year and has worked with thousands of children at elementary and preschools. His first album, The Deep Woods, was critically acclaimed. His second album, Deep Woods Revival, was a wonderful tale of how Red Yarn spent his summer at his grandparents' farm by a mysterious forest. Our family got to see Andy perform his music at the Scottish Rite Theater last year and it was a magical experience. We have been anticipating his latest album Wake Up and Sing which is available on April 22 and produced by GRAMMY award winner, Dean Jones. We were not disappointed!
Music has always been about the experience for me so I get excited when performers put on a captivating show. Sharing music with my family has always been a huge joy for me and Red Yarn will always stand out, etched in my happy memory bank, of wonderful experiences my girls and husband and I were and are able to enjoy. Red Yarn interweaves puppetry and song with a folk and hymnal twist that feeds the imagination and gets us dancing. Wake Up and Sing's 11-track album starts off with the lovely "Beautiful Day" about waking up and singing to the enchanting "Sleepy Song" that is a sweet lullaby to get our wee ones ready for bed. Red Yarn performs his harmonies with wife, Jessie Eller-Isaacs, and his guitar and banjo riffs perfectly dance along in the background. Our absolute favorite song on the album is the gem "Welcome to the World" and I can't help but think that Red Yarn's new addition to the family (Andy and Jessie welcomed a baby in February 2015) had a lot to do with this track! Interestingly, Andy headed to the Hudson River Valley just a month later to find inspiration to write this very album. It's a lovely family adventure and we hope to catch Red on his next trip to A-town to relive the experience in person.

| Definition -
(1) The form a verb takes when it is used to show hope, doubt, and wishes, e.g. God save the Queen.
(2) A construction that is used to express counterfactuals, facts or events that are known to be false, but which are entertained as hypotheticals, e.g. If dogs could fly, they would ….
Etymology - The term derives from the Late Latin subjunctivus, serving to join (from sub, under + jungere, to join).
Note: The Latin term modus subjunctivus was probably a loan translation of the Greek hypotaktike enklisis, subordinated, which was so called because the Greek subjunctive mood was regarded as especially appropriate to subordinate clauses.
Oxford English Dictionary - Its first citation is from 1530:
"The subjunctive mode whiche they ever use folowyng an other verbe, and addyng this worde que before hym."
(Jehan Palsgrave, Lesclarcissement de la langue françoyse, 84 )

Once again, the lives of several Kenyans have been snuffed out in circumstances which remain unclear as yet. The GOSS Head of Mission in Nairobi has defended the South Sudan government against accusations of negligence. As the Southern Sudanese people move towards a referendum planned in the coming months, Kenyans appear to have become soft targets for emotional soldiers and citizens of South Sudan. Some former workers of international organizations from other continents bear witness that Kenyans are a greatly mistreated lot in Southern Sudan. The reasons for this ambivalence remain elusive.
More needs to be done to unearth the reasons for this turn of events.

Happy Veterans Day!
Hello darlings, Happy Veterans Day to all my veteran bloggers and followers. Today I just wanted to take a minute and talk about my experience in the military. I felt inspired to write this post because the fact is I spent 4 growing years of my life in the United States Navy. I was only 18 when I joined and I had a lot of growing up to do. I served aboard the USS Ronald Reagan for my entire military career and that is where I would learn life's greatest lessons.
So here are the 5 things I learned from the military.
1. Don't be afraid of the unknown.
When I joined the military I was fresh out of high school, never worked a day in my life, and was very very innocent to the world that I was living in. I decided one day in my senior year of high school that I wanted to join the military. I heard about the great opportunity of travel, education, and developing character. I took a chance and told my mom and dad that I wanted to join the military not only because of the traveling opportunity but because I knew my parents couldn't afford to put me through a 4 year university. There was a lot of unknowns before I went to boot camp. Is it going to be hard? What if I don't make it? What if we go to war? Will I get to see my family still? What if I don't make friends? Doubt and uncertainty flowed through my mind as a young girl who never been out on her own in the world. But I conquered my fears head on and went through boot camp and survived. After that I got stationed in San Diego on the USS Ronald Reagan. More unknowns came along but I learned to not fear what I couldn't control and to just embrace what life handed to me.
2. Understand other's point of view.
From the second I joined the military I was surrounded by so many different types of people. People who came from different upbringing and backgrounds. People from all over the county and all different ages and ethnicities and religions. I found out real quick that with some I didn't see eye to eye and I didn't try to understand where they were coming from. I was very closed minded and I hate to admit that. I soon realized that my lack of understanding was hurting me and I would constantly be frustrated. That's when I put my differences aside and began to listen to others and really try to understand where they stood on a situation. It's almost like pausing your movie to look at someone else's with no judgement. And that's what I did. I learned to understand other's point of view.
3. Heartbreak will heal itself.
This was an area very hard for me to learn from. Earlier when I said "I was innocent to the world I was living in", I mean so innocent that I had also never dated or had a romantic relationship. I know shocking. I don't know why I never dated in high school. Maybe it was the fact that I was super nerd or a hard core Jesus freak. Who knows. At that point in my life it just wasn't meant to be. Shortly joining the Navy I met my first boyfriend, who became the love of my life at that moment in time. Of course as first loves should, I was head over heals and completely vulnerable. That relationship lasted 2 years and when it came to an end I was completely crushed. I thought life as I knew it was done, finished, the end. Haha I have to laugh now because if I had known what I know now I would have told myself "everything will be fine". I dated 2 more times while in the navy and both again ended in heartbreak but I made it through. After 3 heartbreaks and many more to come, I Iearned that all heartbreaks heal themselves and in the end happiness will resurface.
4. Best friends will stick with you through thick & through thin.
This right here, one of the best things that came out of my service in the military. I had friends and acquaintances and people I just said hi to everyday while passing them in the p-way. The true greatest fiends I met helped though a lot of my lessons. They saw the good, bad, and ugly. They saw me cry, laugh, and lose control of myself. They showed me the true meaning of friendship and acceptance. The taught me what a true friend is and to never settle to be treated less than what I deserved and for that I'm so very thankful.
"Hard times will always reveal true friends."
5. The difficult roads in life lead to the most beautiful destinations.
I must say that through all my tough times as a Sailor and a young girl, I came out on top at the end of it all. Life continued as it should with more lessons learned and more heartbreak and more encounters with difficult people. However the lessons I learned in the military taught me how to handle things with an open mind, open heart, and open eyes. I wouldn't be where I'm at today without having these incredible lessons learned and would have never been able to see how beautiful life really can be.
Happy Veterans Day to those who served and those who are still serving. I hope you got some good takeaways from my post and I look forward to bring you more inspiring and real life posts as time continues. 🙂
xoxo, christine

Frequently asked questions
Why do I have to use catheters?
Probably you suffer from an illness or injury that affects your ability to empty your bladder. Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterisation (ISC) is the second best way to pee since it mimics the natural way of urinating.
What catheter size should I use?
Where do I get catheters?
Catheters are medical devices and require a prescription from your healthcare professional. You can either arrange to collect these from your local chemist or take advantage of a home delivery service, such as Select Home Delivery, and have them discreetly delivered to your home or place of work.
You can also order samples of LoFric® catheters on this website.
Is it possible to reuse intermittent catheters?
Does it hurt to use catheters?
It should not hurt, although there might be a feeling of unease in the beginning. This will go away when you have practiced Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterisation (ISC) for a while.
Choose a catheter with hydrophilic coating for maximum comfort and minimum harm to the urethra during catheterisation. The catheter should have a hydrophilic coating that stays slippery both at insertion and at withdrawal of the catheter, to protect the urethra and give the most comfort.
Is it complicated to use catheters?
You might experience ISC as a little bit tricky in the beginning, but as soon as you have tried it a few times, it will become a natural thing in your life. Many users describe it as just another thing to add to your daily routines, like brushing your teeth. There are a lot of tips and tricks for easier handling, insertion and removal.
Is catheterisation time consuming?
This perception usually arises during the initial teaching. However, with practice and increasing confidence, the time spent can be greatly reduced and the experienced user may not need much more time than it takes to urinate naturally.
Catheterisation is undertaken roughly at the same intervals as you would normally go to the toilet, about 4-6 times a day.
Can I travel?
Many catheter users fear long journeys, especially flights, where you will need to empty your bladder at some point, and the space is limited both in the cabin and in the bathroom.
Discuss your catheter strategy with your doctor before you travel—there are ways to handle the flight. One way is to attach a urinary bag to the catheter and use a blanket to cover your lap. There are good kit products for this purpose. The urine will be collected in a plastic bag, and can be taken away by your traveling companion or flight attendant.
Also make sure to bring as many catheters as you will need during the trip, since it can be tricky to get hold of new ones if you are abroad. Make sure you have enough catheters in your hand luggage to last you a while if your bag is lost or delayed. Read more about travelling with catheters.

Rose and Scott got married on a beautiful hot autumn day in Mapua just out of Nelson. They chose The Playhouse for their venue as they could have the ceremony and reception all on one site. The ceremony was held in a lush garden grove and the venue is surrounded by a sweet little stream and fields of wheat coloured grasses. The whole day from start to finish was so relaxed and fun. Proving that good food and wine shared with great people is all you need.
The star of the show had to be Rose and Scott's wee son, cracking everyone up with his enthusiastic clapping and general adorableness. There's something so special when children are involved in a wedding.
The golden autumnal light went perfect with the seasonal bouquet Rose made herself, the long grass and the navy bridesmaid dresses. Rose was a vision in her mother's veil and looked extra cool when she donned a black hat and sunglasses later on in the day.

Braves come up just short in finale
ATLANTA -- Jose Bautista joined the Braves hoping to extend the fun that had been experienced over the previous week. Instead, he arrived during the most frustrating series the team has experienced thus far.
There was a buzz in the air as the Braves entered this series looking forward to the chance to extend a five-game winning streak, while also introducing Ronald Acuna Jr. and Bautista to the home crowd. But the excitement had faded by the time the veteran-laden Giants had completed a three-game sweep with Sunday afternoon's 4-3 win at SunTrust Park.View Full Game Coverage
ATLANTA -- Jose Bautista joined the Braves hoping to extend the fun that had been experienced over the previous week. Instead, he arrived during the most frustrating series the team has experienced thus far.
There was a buzz in the air as the Braves entered this series looking forward to the chance to extend a five-game winning streak, while also introducing Ronald Acuna Jr. and Bautista to the home crowd. But the excitement had faded by the time the veteran-laden Giants had completed a three-game sweep with Sunday afternoon's 4-3 win at SunTrust Park.View Full Game Coverage
"This won't be the first series that things don't go your way," Braves manager Brian Snitker said. "We play way too many games, for too long, for everything to just click and be perfect all the time. You're going to have to fight your way through situations like this."
Bautista doubled off the center-field wall in his first at-bat of the season on Friday, and singled to begin Sunday's ninth inning. The two-time American League Hank Aaron Award winner scored on a Kurt Suzuki pinch-hit double that also positioned Johan Camargo to score on Ender Inciarte's RBI groundout.
Just when it looked like the Braves' offense had come to life just in time for the team to avoid its first sweep of the season, Ozzie Albies stranded Suzuki at third base with a series-ending pop fly.
A young and exciting Braves club was simply overwhelmed by an experienced Giants club that has won 11 of its past 14 games. Atlanta's potent offense was hoping to add some firepower with Friday's addition of Bautista. But this group, which had averaged 5.7 runs per game entering the series, totaled just nine runs against San Francisco's pitching staff.
"Things happen," Inciarte said. "We're not going to win 20 in a row. We can win five and then lose three, then win 10 and then lose seven. It's going to happen like that. We've just got to try to stay consistent. It's a long season."
With nearly a fifth of the season complete, the Braves can feel good about the fact they still sit atop the National League East and possess the NL's highest-scoring offense. But the humbling nature of this game was felt this weekend, as the five-game winning streak carried into Friday seemed like a distant memory by Sunday, when the team encountered its first three-game losing streak.
After roughing up Mike Foltynewicz and Brandon McCarthy during the first two games of this series, the Giants took advantage of an inefficient outing from Mike Soroka, who allowed four earned runs and lasted just four innings in the series finale. The 20-year-old right-hander surrendered seven hits -- all singles -- and issued three walks while making just his second career start.
"They took some good pitches early," Soroka said. "The sinker was a little flatter than I would have liked coming out of the game. I got away from attacking and put myself in a lot of hitter's counts. You've got to be perfect. Next time, the goal will definitely be to keep attacking."
The Giants tallied three hits during a two-run third inning and added three more during a two-run fourth inning. Soroka was nowhere near as impressive as he had been while limiting the Mets to one run over six innings in his big league debut Tuesday. But the Braves had certainly found ways to win in similar outings over the course of this season.
Video: ATL@SF: Soroka strikes out the side in the 2nd
"[Soroka] is going to take something away from every outing, especially during his first year," Snitker said. "There are going to be things that go on, and things he experiences, facing the more experienced lineups."
Alen Hanson didn't hesitate on a grounder to Freddie Freeman in the fourth inning. Hanson sprinted home and went sliding headfirst, avoiding Tyler Flowers' tag as he swiped the plate and scored on Gregor Blanco's fielder's choice. Freeman scooped the ball at the edge of the infield grass and instantly made an accurate throw, but by the time Flowers applied the tag on Hanson's shoulder, the Giants' second baseman's fingers had already touched the plate.
Video: SF@ATL: Hanson scores on Blanco's fielder's choice
Soroka frequently fell behind hitters as he recorded a strike with just 49 of his 84 pitches, but he was also a victim of some tough luck. Just two of the seven singles he surrendered were produced with an exit velocity that exceeded 83.5 mph and just one (Hanson's fourth-inning leadoff single) was produced with an exit velocity that exceeded 95.0 mph.
"You get out there and you've just got to realize a lot of those pitches are outs on most days," Soroka said. "Some days they're going to fall. That's the way baseball is."
"That was a small highlight for sure. You've just got to see ball, hit ball. He left one out over the plate. I stayed on it and just punched one over the middle." -- Soroka, on recording his first career hit
Video: ATL@SF: Soroka singles to center for first career hit
Sean Newcomb will take the mound when the Braves open a two-game series against the Rays Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field. Newcomb limited the Mets to two hits over seven scoreless innings his last time out. Bautista will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter. Blake Snell comes in winning 4 straight decisions for Tampa Bay.
Mark Bowman has covered the Braves for MLB.com since 2001.

MultiBoosting: A Technique for Combining Boosting and Wagging
- 2k Downloads
- Citations
MultiBoosting is an extension to the highly successful AdaBoost technique for forming decision committees. MultiBoosting can be viewed as combining AdaBoost with wagging. It is able to harness both AdaBoost's high bias and variance reduction with wagging's superior variance reduction. Using C4.5 as the base learning algorithm, MultiBoosting is demonstrated to produce decision committees with lower error than either AdaBoost or wagging significantly more often than the reverse over a large representative cross-section of UCI data sets. It offers the further advantage over AdaBoost of suiting parallel execution.

Canarsie: The Jews and Italians of Brooklyn Against Liberalism
Amazon | IndieBound | Barnes&Noble | Harvard Press
"The rise of Ronald Reagan and the politics of the 1980s surprised many of the country's best-known analysts. . . Jonathan Rieder was in the right place at the right time -the streets and kitchens of Canarsie, Brooklyn- to understand what was actually happening (and going to happen next) in American politics."-Richard Reeves
"A sparkling shower of insights . . . Intellectually exciting."-American Journal of Sociology
"The best ethnography of a white community to appear in a decade, and should be read by every scholar in urban sociology, political sociology, and social movements. . . . Rieder has crafted a finely detailed portrait." -Contemporary Sociology
"No scholarly book of recent memory better conveys the specific sense of outraged betrayal that swept through the urban precincts of the Democratic Party in the mid-1970s than does Jonathan Rieder's brilliant study, Canarsie." -Wilson Quarterly

I recently noticed that I've picked up a few new followers and, to save you trawling back to the beginning of my blog, I thought I'd do a little re-introduction.
I'm Wagg, I'm 20 (which I still find a bit scary!) and I live in the south of England. I guess you could say that I sound quite posh when I speak (I've posted a couple of videos on here, have a look and see if you think I do!).
I'm gay ("Really Wagg I never would have guessed?!" Shush with your sarcasm please!) and you can read all about my not very interesting coming out here: https://waggcomedy.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/my-coming-out/
I currently work in catering (which I am awful at!) but I'll hopefully be changing jobs over the next year.
I started this blog so I could chart my journey to stand up comedy success but this hasn't happened and I now use this blog to moan about my life and post photos of sheep.
I've had so many lovely comments from people over the last year and I want to thank every single one of you for reading, liking, commenting and following – it means a lot! 🙂

Disinfect and Deodorize Wrestling Gear, Equipment and Facilities
Stinky odor and dangerous skin infections are caused by wrestling equipment that hasn't been treated and disinfected. Clear Gear Spray keeps wrestling gear, equipment and facilities odor and bacteria free. To help prevent odor and infections, use Clear Gear Spray after every match and practice on the following:
- Headgear and straps
- Pads
- Wrestling shoes
- Gym bags
- Mats and practice equipment
- Lockers, benches and showers
Wrestling Gear Cleaning Tips
Step ①
Disinfect mats and other equipment after each practice and match.
- Simply spray mats, and other equipment, with the easy to use one-gallon pump sprayer and let dry, no need to mop or wipe down!
- Remove and clean wrestling mat tape every thirty days or less. Under the tape is a perfect place for bacteria and mold to hide and grow.
- Resurface or replace mats with rips or tears immediately. Once foam is exposed it is pervious to germs and bacteria.
Step ②
Spray Clear Gear on the inside and outside surfaces of wrestling gear and equipment.
- Headgear: Spray liberally inside with special attention to the forehead area and straps. Remove inserts to allow to air dry. Be sure to also spray the crown of the helmet and in the crevices to prohibit the growth of mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria.
- Pads and protectors: Spray liberally on both the porous underside of the pads as well as the hard caps.
- Shoes: If possible, remove the soles. Spray both sides of the sole as well as the inside of the shoe thoroughly to eliminate odor, bacteria, and fungus.
- Gym bag: Spray inside and out and don't store sweaty or wet gear or clothing in your gym bag.
Step ③
After treating with Clear Gear Spray, hang or store equipment in a well-ventilated area and allow to fully air dry. Avoid storing gear in damp, musty environments, which increases the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, and odor.
Note: Wrestling gear and equipment that has never been disinfected or deodorized and is very odorous may need several treatments with Clear Gear Spray to reduce odors. Use Clear Gear Spray from the start with new gear and equipment to prevent bacteria and odors.

Having admired her home for some time across social media, I was excited to see more. It's situated right at the other end of the UK to me, high up in the Scottish hills. Pam has the most beautiful taste; I think you're going to love it…
Who lives in your home?
I live with my husband, Scott, and two little ladies, Liv & Maisie.
Where do you live and how long have you lived in your home?
We live in the rural Aberdeenshire countryside, in the North of Scotland. We moved from the nearest town about 3 years ago now. We are still only a 10 minute drive from the town but the difference is staggering… i.e no mains gas, or water!
What were the first impressions of your home?
We fell in love with what it could be. It ticked so many of the boxes (not all!) and had some amazing features that we didn't have before, coming from a background of new builds. All the big structural renovation work had been done, it was a case of taking it from country bumpkin to modern.
Have you had any major work done?
We've removed a wall and replaced the kitchen, bathrooms and all the internal woodwork and doors. Still on the list is sandblasting the granite walls outside and replacing the render.
What is your favourite room in the house?
I adore Liv's bedroom the most. It's just the perfect little girl's room. Not only does it have the best view and amazing storage, but it rather sweetly steps down into the room.
(Furniture and accessories from This Modern Life including the cute pom pom garland)
Is there anything that you would change about your home if you could?
Oh my word, so much! We rushed into making so many decisions, because I just wanted it all finished. Also, I'm rather guilty of "the grass is greener", so as much as I love having the space and silence around the house, if I could move it 5 minutes closer to the town to benefit from mains water, gas and better broadband that would be the ultimate dream!
In realistic terms though, if we could just finish the renovation, so I could live in a completed house again, that would be perfect. We went into this saying it was our forever home and therefore we had forever to finish it… But it's quite overwhelming when you're living it and surrounded dark red/brown wood.
FYI This is just the guest bedroom! (& sign is from Rockett St George)
What is the next home project that we can look forward to seeing on your blog?
Currently finishing the main living room…although it's looking a bit sparse from all the bits and bobs that finish it off. Once we have done that, we'll make a start on the outside.
* * *
Well it looks like Pamela and her family have already made a pretty good start on the garden! Don't you just love it? What a stunning home with so much detail gone into the planning and design. Well done Pamela, I know you'll continue using your creative flair as you finish off your living room and move into the garden.
If you'd like to keep in touch with Pamela and her family, you can find more of her home style on You Tube (she has some great tutorials on there!), Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.
Come back next month for another beautiful home.

Back In Bangkok: Part 1
/ Friday / Posted in out and about, photo album, travel bug
The first set of photos from our trip to Bangkok two weekends ago. I took more photos in 3 days than I have in a month here in Hanoi! It's a city I'm inspired by, but realistically I think it's because living in Hanoi has taken some of the sheen out of things. That and riding my bike instead of walking around means there's less opportunity to take photos. Now it's getting cooler maybe I'll start walking again (probably not).
A bit of a rant about the trip over at Johnny & Jo

When our team members aren't busy creating memorable experiences for their guests, they can often be found helping out in our communities and sharing our Caring Culture. They volunteer their time, expertise, creativity and passion to help make their communities the best places to live and work. From projects that support everything from health and wellness to seniors, there's something for everyone who wants to lend a hand.
Each quarter, Caesars Entertainment celebrates our HERO Stars and recognized team members from our affiliated businesses whose volunteer efforts really stand out. This quarter we are proud to honor four outstanding HEROs who gave their time and their efforts to make a difference.
Read on to learn about our HERO Stars for the fourth quarter of last year. They'll each receive a $500 check to share with the nonprofit of their choice.
Jack Heston, Table Games Dealer, HORSESHOE TUNICA
Jack volunteers for a long list of causes, including hunger, health and supporting veterans. He contributed a total of 101 hours of time with his community in 2016.
While many team members participate in our HERO events, Jack also seeks ways to volunteer on his own. As a runner, Jack participates in a run, walk or marathon almost every month – in 2016, he did 10! – supporting a variety of causes. Another monthly do-good habit of Jack's is delivering coffee, cookies and conversation to veterans at Memphis' VA Hospital. Recognizing the dire need for blood donations, Jack works with a variety of organizations to meet that need, including March of Dimes, Gateway to the Delta, Memphis Recovery Center and more.
Charlean Antwine, Casino Operations Manager, HORSESHOE BOSSIER CITY
Charlean's role as casino operations manager means she is skilled at motivating team members. She also leveraged this skill to mobilize more than 300 team members to participate in HERO events in 2016.
Charlean is especially passionate about health and wellness, having organized events for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Relay for Life, Alzheimer's Walks, and more. She also helped host the Bossier Council on Aging's annual Sweetheart Luncheon, celebrating Valentine's Day with local seniors. A longstanding tradition, the luncheon draws both singles and couples for a formal lunch and a dance.
Charlean's colleague Preston Langley says it best: "Charlean is the key to our volunteer events here at Horseshoe Bossier City and Harrah's Louisiana Downs. She is, in my opinion, the epitome of a HERO Star."
Eunice Polanco, Room Attendant, BALLY'S ATLANTIC CITY
After the loss of a friend, Eunice was looking for a way to honor her memory by taking action in the fight against breast cancer.
Together with her supervisor, Eunice rallied the housekeeping department to support the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Ocean City. She convinced a whopping 75% of her team members to purchase a pink HERO shirt, raising $2,500 for the organization. Eunice also drove participation in the Making Strides Walk and spent many hours in the kitchen baking, both of which raised additional funds to fight breast cancer.
Nikki Jackson leads Atlantic City community relations and saw Eunice's efforts firsthand. "Eunice overcame language barriers to connect with new colleagues and truly extended herself for the breast cancer cause, making a lovely tribute to her friend," notes Nikki.
Jason Rinta, Performance & Culture Manager, PARIS LAS VEGAS
Jason's above-and-beyond dedication to Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Paris Las Vegas engaged team members across the city to raise awareness and funds for the American Cancer Society. In particular, his leadership of the Battle of the Bras event at Planet Hollywood led to an impressive 33% increase of leaders modeling and a 150% increase in event attendance. But even more exciting was the $90,000 raised at the event – nearly five times the amount of last year's Battle!
Jason's ability to fuel healthy competition among Battle of the Bras participants was evidenced by record leadership participation. And he helped to tie the event's mission and purpose with our Caring Culture by having the participants their personal story of how breast cancer has affected them to make the evening especially meaningful.
Thanks to our HERO Stars for being amazing ambassadors or our Mission, Vision and Values in our communities. You truly Inspire Grown-Ups to Play for a Cause!

As both countries were former subjects of the United Kingdom, a common kinship between the two countries were forged with this common history. Most of the commonality is through socio-cultural ties through noted luminaries as Pandit Nehru, Eamon de Valera, Rabindaranath Tagore, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce and Annie Besant.
Through these common ties, many Indians and Irish people have traveled between the two independent states. With the increased economic growth of Ireland, many Indian professionals have made their way to the country either through business or employment. This has made many legal inroads regarding immigration and entry into Ireland by Indian citizens.
The first way that Indians have been able to immigrate to Ireland is through the Nationality and Citizenship Act of 1956. The law provides that an Irish citizen is an individual born on Irish soil or any individual whose parent or grandparent born in Ireland. The ascendant's birth needs to be properly registered with the Irish Consulate and the descendant is considered of Irish citizenry even if they were not born in Ireland. The long-standing ties between Ireland and India have given way for many Indian-born individuals of Irish descent to immigrate back to Ireland.
Another way that Indians are able to immigrate to Ireland is through marriage. Indian citizens that have been married to Irish citizens for at least three years or three years after any spouse is recognized to be of Irish ancestry, then Indians can file for post nuptial citizenship based on that union. Paper marriages though are frowned upon and subject to stiff penalties such as deportation and blacklisting.
The third way that Indians are able to immigrate to Ireland is through work permits. The first step though in this route is obtaining a job offer from a company based in Ireland. One way is for the employer to obtain a work permit for the Indian professional together with a letter of confirmation of employment. With the increased mobility and availability of information regarding employment overseas, finding work in a booming economy seeking skilled workers would be easy for many Indian professionals.
The fourth way is through the Irish Green Card System. This new system instituted in 2007 allows Indians and other nationals to apply for green cards for immigration to Ireland. The following are the requirements to qualify for the Irish Green Card System:
a) The applicant must have obtained an offer of job where the employer confirms that the individual would be employed for at least two (2) years;
b) The salary for the said employment must be at least sixty thousand Euros or more per year;
c) For foreign students seeking to enroll in tertiary level graduate programs in Irish universities, the applicant must have a valid student visa to allow extended stay and allowance for employment in Ireland under this system;
Aside from the normal ways to enter Ireland, such as a tourist or non-employment visa, the previously discussed processes are the recommended ways for Indians to immigrate to Ireland. It is important though that all the qualifications have been met and none of the disqualifications are present in order for the Indian national to be allowed to enter and live in Ireland.

Homework helps the students to reinforce class learning. This provides an opportunity to students to stay responsible towards their learning. Students should include the homework writing in their daily schedule. Doing regular homework will help the students to stay organized. Homework helps to stay self-discipline, personal development, and time-management skills. If you want someone to help you in your homework then you can ask for the help from accounting homework help to complete your homework. Homework is also of different types such as- Holiday homework, completing class work, revising a work, preparing for the test, taking notes, assignments and much more. http://financehomeworkhelp.com/ wants to tell you the steps to write the successful homework-
- Make use of your diary during the lectures to pen down the work that has been taught in the class. This will help you at the later stage to write the homework. Preparing the notes will give you the brief about the topic in advance before you will write your homework.
- At the start of every new session, you must prepare a time schedule for every subject. By preparing a timetable you will be able to focus on every subject. Assign more time to the complex subjects like Accounting, Statistics, and Finance etc. Planning is an essential step in writing the homework.
- If you have written homework on the loose sheets then get them bind in a folder to keep your work maintained. Writing the paper on the loose sheets can make your work disorganized. So, binding up your work in a spiral file or putting them in a folder will help you to stay organized.
- You must check your due assignments and mark the date of submission on the calendar because according to finance help in this way you will not miss out any submission date set by teachers.
- Pack your school bags carefully. Put all the notebooks, reading material, assignments, homework, and stationary properly in your bag because it is for sure that nobody wants get scolded by the teacher.
- Always do the important task first and write the easy task later. As difficult projects will the take time you must start working on them as early as possible so that you don't have last minute trouble.
- Read all the notes which you have written in the class and if you don't understand any line or paragraph you must ask your teacher in class. Revising your work for assessments and test will be beneficial for you.
- At last, before submitting your homework you must edit your content.
If you are stuck between the piles of paper then it is the time for you to look for the finance assignment help. Don't give your judgmenta second thought and visit the website to acquire knowledge about homework.

After being told they had exhausted all other treatment options, this boy and his family turned to the help of medical cannabis. While many in Australia remain skeptical of the treatment, there's no denying the relief it has provided to many children, especially those who suffer from epilepsy. In an attempt to provide scientific evidence of cannabis' value, a new study is beginning at nine hospitals. Some say all the proof needed lies with Jai Whitelaw, the young patient who was able to quell his seizures, thanks to medical cannabis. Read more here.

Surprise! I like beer. Hooray for Beer! Alright, enough of that.
The beer industry is fascinating--cool logos, fun atmosphere and a social product. And, in true Missouri form (Home of Anheuser Busch, Boulevard, Schlafly, O'Fallon) I thought it would make sense to discuss the beer biz a little.
As an undergrad at The University of Washington (That's Seattle, not DC, not WashU) I was the beer writer for the University Daily newspaper. Any interest in reading some old columns about NW microbrews? Go here:
Otherwise, here is a link to an article about the largest craft brewers in the United States:
This would be a good place to start with a search on finding an "in" into the beer biz. Also, listed below are some fun facts that I have learned about some of these companies over the years during my beer "research."
--Harpoon: Each year they throw a gigantic Oktoberfest party on the Boston Waterfront. It seems like half the city attends!
--Magic Hat: Has grown significantly in the last 5 years mostly due to its acquisition by North American Breweries.
--Deschutes: Based in Bend, Oregon which is consistently ranked as one of the best towns to live in America. The brewery is located on the Deschutes River which runs through downtown.
--Pyramid: Another NW product. It's brewery is located across the street from Safeco field in downtown Seattle.
--Spoetzl: Brewer of Shiner Bock, Lance Armstrong's favorite brew.
--New Belgium: Promote a circus-like bicycle tour that visits multiple bike and beer friendly towns each summer.
Here are some of my personal favorite breweries:
--Bear Republic Brewing: Racer 5 might be the best IPA
--Ska Brewing: Located in Durango, CO--visit!
--Port Brewing: The ultimate SoCal surf brewery.
--Mammoth Brewing: Also home to Mammoth Mountain, a top-rated ski resort.
--Elysian Brewing: Located in the funky Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle
--Big Time Brewery: My personal Seattle favorite. They mix coffee grounds into their "Old Rip Stout."

I'm not surprised to hear Deschutes and Bear Republic are in Colorado. The west is definitely on it's "game" when it comes to beer.ReplyDelete

I had a Magic Hat #9 for the first time this summer in NYC and really enjoyed it! When visiting a new city I always pick a beer off the list that I have never heard of. That is great fun, until I forget the names of them all..............ReplyDelete

If any of you automatically get this title, then you deserve a cherry pie, baked by moi!
Back in the mid 80's every other song on the radio was by Journey. And Steve Perry's voice is never better than when he sings 'Oh Sherrie'! I always turned the radio up nice and loud when it started, and I sang along to every word.
But the sentiments that he feels towards Sherrie, is exactly how I feel about Cherries!! Ever since I was a little girl, I got so excited when cherry season arrived. We had cherry trees in the backyard, and I was always up in them, eating the ripe cherries, always ignoring my mother's "Get down before you get a stomach ache". I always got a stomach ache from eating too many, but that never stopped me from climbing those trees year after year.
I always loved when a basket of cherries included those two cherries, attached at the tops of their stems. Remember wearing them as earrings? Or was it just me? Oh well…
In those days, once the season was gone, so were the cherries. There weren't yet the frozen bags of cherries along with other fruit, available at the grocery stores, making year round cherries a reason to cry out for joy. These days there is usually a bag of sweet frozen cherries in the freezer, even if it is just for smoothies. Cherries and chocolate make the best breakfast smoothies (of course those are the flavours that stand out, the good for you ingredients are there hiding in the background!)
Sure, working with cherries, the most charming of the stone fruits in my humble opinion, means scarlet stained fingers as you pit or slice them up, usually creating a crime scene in the process. Especially if using a pitter- oh my, cherry juice everywhere! But so worth it. The hard part is not eating all the little orbs before you have enough for your recipe. In fact, if you are purchasing cherries to bake with, go ahead and just buy extra. Snacking is taken care of this way!
I thought I'd collect the few Cherry recipes that I've already posted on my little blog. It's only been two and a half years, but I have had fun creating and sharing some great ways to eat and cook or bake with cherries. Just click on a name and start exploring. Let me know if you have a favourite from the collection below. Or if there is anything you'd like to see that I haven't shared yet. And just because I'm writing this today, doesn't mean that my reservoir of cherry ideas is now empty. No way! I have more recipes coming. But at least this is a start…

The new top-of-the-line model of the 300 Series with 231 hp.
The new Unimog U 323 is the efficient vehicle solution for winter road maintenance and transport tasks. It combines the power output, weight classes and wheelbases of a Unimog U 423 with the economic efficiency of the popular Unimog U 318. This new mid-size model allows many jobs to be done in a professional manner with an attractive price/performance ratio.
Compact all-wheel-drive vehicle.
From snow-clearing, gritting or cleaning to transport to crane work – the Unimog U 323 is versatile and economical with an off-road capability. The U 323 not only impresses with a more powerful engine than the U 318, but also offers a selection of special equipment options that customers value about the U 423: such as the power take-off from the transmission, which can be used to operate cranes or high-pressure pumps, AutomaticShift and several hydraulic options, e.g. fully proportional 2-circuit hydraulics with snow plough weight transfer.
Winter road maintenance. Relaxed and safe.
The Unimog U 323 makes for convenient and safe snow-clearing and gritting. Implement/hydraulic/driving functions can be conveniently controlled and operated from the driver's seat using the multifunction joystick. Large panorama windows in the state-of-the-art open-vision cab provide a clear view of the surrounding area and front-mounted attachments while affording excellent all-round visibility. Maximum safety during winter road maintenance is additionally guaranteed by ABS, all-wheel drive and differential locks.
Economical and fuel-efficient in operation.
The Unimog is ideal for transport tasks thanks to its high payload with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 13.8 tonnes (with 3000 mm wheelbase) or 14 tonnes (with 3600 mm wheelbase), high transport capacity and time-saving switching between the different places of use. Even so, the universal implement carrier is no slouch on the road: with a driving speed of up to 90 km/h, it is fully suitable for travel on the motorway.
Professional solution for special tasks.
Special assignments can be skilfully handled with the Unimog. Its power take-off with 6-hole flange and powerful engine (170 kW/231 hp) make it ideally suitable for challenging tasks at municipal authorities as well as in agriculture and the construction industry. Whether with tipper platform, front loader or demountable bodies: high manoeuvrability is ensured by standardised interfaces for fast mounting/demounting of implements as well as by the vehicle's compact dimensions.

Tree Down
I'm sorry Christmas Tree, we had to part ways already. I didn't want to take you down today. But we had to. I promise we had to. Like, I'm not just saying it. We're getting new flooring over the holidays.
You provided a nice, warm Christmas glow. You did good work. We had some good quality time today with our friends Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and some Rosemary Clooney.
So long Christmas tree of 2012.
