It was this close! (c) Darrell Wood
Approaching (c) Peter Barker
Crossing the ditch (c) Peter Barker
Kestrel (c) Darrell Wood
.....and the same bird (c) Darrell Wood
Wren in the sun (c) Peter BarkerA mild but very blustery and windy weekend that meant most birds were keeping their heads down.
Bullfinches are very much in evidence in the hedgerows and in the car park Field. They seem to have moved on from dried blackberries to feeding on buds and shoots. Ravens were present on both days and a Peregrine was again sitting out on Big Otmoor.
A walk up around the southern edge of Ashgrave against the woodland edge added Treecreeper and Nuthatch to the Otmoor year list. There were at least a hundred Golden Plover and twice that number of Lapwings out on Saturday morning. The single Whitefronted Goose is still keeping company with the Greylag flock, that now numbers well over a hundred and fifty. Goldfinches have now found the niger feeder and are taking advantage of it all the time. Wigeon are now using the slightly larger ponds in front of the hide and there were at least thirty there on Sunday morning.
Best sighting of the weekend was another close encounter of the mustelid kind. There were two young otters criss-crossing one of the ditches on the way to the reedbed. We stood still and could scarcely believe just how close one of them came (there will be a photo on the blog that is taken looking down on the animal not more than a metre and a half from the camera, the photo is not mine as by this time it was too close for my camera to focus on!) Size and a complete lack of fear suggested that they were both juveniles. It was a wonderful encounter. People often ask "where do I go to see the otters? " I have never seen them in the same place twice and any of the ditches or lagoons will have them in at some time or another. The best place is probably one or other of the screens, but they roam everywhere and can appear out of the blue crossing the bridle way in front of you. It all comes down to chance, but if you are lucky it is an unforgettable experience. It more than made up for the fact that all of Oxfordshire's rare birds are turning up elsewhere in the county!

Had a bit of a sleep after waking up this morning, and I'm feeling a million times better, cold is about 97% gone, perfect.^-^
I'm booked in with a personal trainer later on today so I'll be figuring out a good work-out and eating plan with them to get the results I want. I've also bought some Sculptress Diet shakes, which you can read more about by clicking the link. I have no idea if they'll be any good, but at the very least it'll give me more energy and a good dose of protein, so I'm excited about that.:)
|I'd like this sort of tummy/waist shape. But you know, without the tan.x__x Snow white skin only for me!
But over all, I'm really excited for this week, and lifes pretty damn good at the minute.:) Feeling good, things are better than ever with Jake, we have tonnes of fun plans for this year, like moving house and learning to drive amongst many others, all is well.:D
Aaaand I have a bunch of ideas for vlogs I'll be doing when I get my camera charger through, so stay tuned for that!
Byee! x

• Present a resolved body of original creative practice that has evidenced the systematic enhancement of your knowledge and understanding
My practice has evolved dramatically. I have been learning by doing, but mainly learning by making loads of mistakes.
How to make friends.
In "How to make friends". I started experimenting with drawing. I have been looking for different ways to change the meanings of the original etchings visually.
How to make friends. Text and pictures.
The Gift of the Gab

• Analyse and critically reflect coherently upon your own practice and its context
My practice has been highly influenced by Goya. I have studied him in detail and especially Los Caprichos.
To have a better understanding of the work, during my time writing for the research paper I went to Academia de Artes de San Fernando, in Madrid, where he was the President at the beginning of the 19th century, to talk to a specialist of with work.
I have also studied the work of Jake and Dinos Chapman.
Context for Scanfaces:
I found very interesting Keith Haring's reflections in his journal
How to write about contemporary art
"All that is solid melts into air" was a suggested reading during my assessment. Although it was a dense book to read, it has been an influential book for me.
Jean Baudrillard's work has been one of the most influential in my practice.
Also, Georges Bataille "Literature and Evil", "The accursed share".
"Seduction" of Jean Baudrillard, Walter Benjamin's Reflections, by Peter Demetz,
"How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie.
On playfulness, "This cat came as a tomato" from South London Gallery,
The Psychology of Play of Susanna Millar, and much more.
• Summarise and evaluate your overall progress and formulate a constructive plan for Continuing Personal and Professional Development
My intellectual approach and my work have diverted dramatically during the progress of this MA. Due to my background in advertising, my creative process used several techniques to come up with messages that are understood. My ideas and outcomes aimed to communicate something to a specific audience. During this MA, I have learnt to open possibilities, to create situations, to suggest ideas, more than directly explaining them, without leaving any room for interpretation. I have worked on improving my approach to my artistic research and the way my artworks are shaped and presented.
When i started I was mainly working web based projects and tactical media strategies. During this time at Camberwell, I have learnt how to code with arduino, I have worked on a VR project that has evolved over months of different tests, I have experimented with 3D scanners with results that were not satisfactory, but discovering other techniques, I was not aware of.
But the most challenging aspect of my practice in the MA has been working with materials. I have been experimenting engraving into meat with the laser cut, I have also worked with wood and built stairs to present "the gift of the gab", I have also worked with glowing in the dark ink shot with a paintball marker. Learning how to use the marker to draw and working with the glowing ink has been challenging, but rewarding.
I have worked with a wide variety of techniques, but the most important and visible evolution of my work has been to develop a theoretical aspect. I have been reading a lot about modernism, the concept of playfulness and philosophical essays about the concepts of Good and Evil. I have developed a wider understanding of my practice through theory and other artists that work on similar subjects.
In the future, I will keep up using this process for my practice, as I feel it has enriched me not only in my outcomes but as an art practitioner. More than mastering one technique, this MA has given me the chance to experiment, and this is one of the things I enjoyed more doing. It has been painful and frustrating sometimes because it has taken me some time to make each piece of work, but the gratitude at the end of the process is very rewarding. Also, finding authors and artists that worked with ideas similar to mine has been a great impulse to my practice, and I will keep on researching and discovering new points of view that will widen my narratives and discourse.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my work and my time at this MA. I will go on working on my practice and create "potential storms of meanings".
I want to thank greatly to Jonathan and Ed, whose advice and support has been enlightening. You have changed my way to look and the way I express myself through my practice. Thanks.

Contributed by Elaine Albertson, VCRS Fair Booth Coordinator
Dear Recyclers,
This year, VCRS will participate in the Alaska State Fair Parade in downtown Palmer, Saturday, August 26th. We'd love for you to join us! You could dress up in your favorite costume made of reused materials. You could hand out VCRS flyers to parade watchers. You could hold the VCRS banner. Or you could just walk along and wave to the crowd!
As part of our parade presence, we'd like a few hybrid/electric vehicles. We've got the Toyota Prius covered, but we'd like info on others – electric motorbike, electric golf cart, Tesla car and other hybrid cars (Ford Fusion, Chevy Volt, etc.) – specifically, who has one and might be willing to drive it in the parade.
Also, we'd like to have an activity for kids in our Recycling Education Booth. We're going to use the Plastic Bag Committee's idea of gluing a magnet and their BYOB logo (Bring Your Own Bag) to lids, making fridge magnets for the kids to take home and more importantly, reminding parents to use reusable bags rather than single-use plastic ones.
If you have any lids you can donate for this activity, we'd really appreciate them! We're wanting lids that are three to four inches in diameter, specifically (a) canning jar lids, (b) jam/pickle type jar lids and (c) ends of frozen juice cans. We'll have containers in the drive-thru for people to put their clean lids in.
Thanks much!

Happy Father's Day, Mock daddy.

Katherine Kraschel Joins Solomon Center as New Executive Director
From the article:
"I am delighted to welcome Katie to the Solomon Center," said Professor Abbe R. Gluck '00, Faculty Director for the Solomon Center. "Having worked with her for the past three years in her capacity as Associate General Counsel of Yale New Haven Hospital, I am certain her energy, professionalism, commitment to health law, and love of teaching will enrich us all enormously. Her connections to the medical side of campus will also further deepen our interdisciplinary ties and reinforce our commitment to the link between health law and the real-world business, practice and governance of medicine."
Before pursuing a career in law, Kraschel worked as a scientist at Pfizer. She holds a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Mount Holyoke College and a law degree from Harvard Law School, where she was a student fellow at the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics as well as the submissions editor of the Harvard Journal of Law & Gender. She also served on the Mount Holyoke College Board of Trustees.

I finally picked it up again now because it's released on March 8th, and I wanted to see if I liked it enough to review it before it came out - I did. In fact, I loved it!
Here it is:
A Jewish girl-turned-spy must infiltrate an elite Nazi boarding school in this highly commercial, relentlessly nail-biting World War II drama!
After her mother is shot at a checkpoint, fifteen-year-old Sarah--blonde, blue-eyed, and Jewish--finds herself on the run from a government that wants to see every person like her dead.
Then Sarah meets a mysterious man with an ambiguous accent, a suspiciously bare apartment, and a lockbox full of weapons. He's a spy, and he needs Sarah to become one, too, to pull off a mission he can't attempt on his own: infiltrate a boarding school attended by the daughters of top Nazi brass, befriend the daughter of a key scientist, and steal the blueprints to a bomb that could destroy the cities of Western Europe.
With years of training from her actress mother in the art of impersonation, Sarah thinks she's ready. But nothing prepares her for her cutthroat schoolmates, and soon she finds herself in a battle for survival unlike any she'd ever imagined.
So, like I said, I didn't look this book up properly until I started it, and now I am regretting this decision becuase it was an amazing book. So amazing that I sped through it in a few days. From the description on my proof copy, I didn't expect it to be set during the beginning of World War II, so when I opened it and got stuck in I was instantly sucked in.
I have always loved the Book Thief, it is one of my favourite books, and I definitely got Book Thief vibes when reading this book. But, not because it was the same kind of plot - no this is totally different. This book is about Sarah, a Jew with Aryan looks, who becomes a spy after meeting the Captain (a British spy currently working in Germany).
I loved Sarah as a character. She was strong for her age, and even with everything that happens to her she still manages to keep up with her mission throughout the book without getting caught. Throughout the book she has a voice in her head guiding her way - and helping her when things are likely to go wrong - and it really helps to up her spying game. Just overall she is definitely one of the more beautifully written characters I have come across in my many reads.
The thing I found most amusing was that she managed to play the part of a 'monster' (her words for the girls at the school) perfectly - and all with only a few papers that marked her as the perfect Aryan schoolgirl. The constant use of 'monster' in her head definitely tied in with the name of the book - something which I loved.
Overall, this book had me on the edge of my seat throughout, wondering just what would happen to both Sarah and the Captain, and the last part of the book especially had me wanting to turn to the end just so I could see (I managed to resist the urge), but it definitely was a very suspenseful ending - one that also left me with the hope to see more from Sarah in future books - but I'm not sure how likely that would be!
I give this book 5 cats!
If you are a fan of the book thief, I think you'll love this book. Are you planning on reading this, or have you read this yet? Comment below!

My name is Carey Belcher, I am 37 years old, and I am planning to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail in 2012. The AT runs from Georgia to Maine and is nearly 2200 miles long. It takes an average of six months to complete. I have spent all of 2011 researching, reading and dreaming about this journey, and now I've taken some definite actions to make it a reality, so it seems a good time to start my journal. I plan to hike for charity, to raise money for the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary Guardian Angel Program, in honor of Rhubarb, a dog who could not walk but that program gave him a chance and found him the perfect home. Obviously, I planned to hike for my own reasons in the first place, and I have nurtured this little seed of a dream for almost 10 years since I read Bill Bryson's funny account of his thru-hike attempt, "A Walk in the Woods." It wasn't until I read "AWOL on the Appalachian Trail" and then "Becoming Odyssa" and "The Barefoot Sisters Southbound" that I became truly obsessed with doing it myself.
When people ask my reasons for wanting to do this hike, I don't know what to say. It's complicated and simple. I am a nomad at heart, having moved and lived all over the United States. The last six years I spent in one place, in the same job, are the longest I've been in one place. It runs in my family as well, with my grandparents also moving regularly and my Mormon pioneer ancestors who immigrated to America and then pulled handcarts across the country. I won't have to work as hard as they did, but I will have to work hard to complete this intended journey before winter shuts me down. That is a challenge and I'm excited to meet it. I see this hike as a chance to reconnect with nature, and also as a 6 month photo shoot (a hobby I am passionate about). I think of it as an adventure and also a time-out from the intensity of modern life and politics, though I will bring my Smartphone to keep in touch (sorry, I can't go cold turkey). I need a change in my life, to refresh and reset my perspective. I want to give up most of my possessions in order to really understand and appreciate how little I truly need to survive and even thrive. I want to test myself and see how tough I am. I want to see if I can do it. I want to get in shape and move my body and see new sights and have special moments. I want solitude and I want to meet the other misfits like myself, who don't really fit into the modern world very well. I want to learn more about myself and what I'm capable of. I want to make memories that will last my whole life. I can't think about anything else. That's the biggest reason why. I just can't get it out of my head. I have to go and I don't know why. Maybe I'll find out while I'm out there.
I have stalked whiteblaze.net and I have been very lucky to get connected with several people who have already thru-hiked the AT. Footnote, The Good Badger, The Dusty Camel and Jackie and all the fine staff at REI in SLC, Utah have been incredibly helpful in different ways. Footnote asked me some very astute and revealing questions like "Have you ever slept alone in the wilderness?" Ummmm, no. "What is your longest backpacking trip?" Two days, one night. "What is the greatest distance you've traveled with a fully loaded backpack?" Sixteen miles. Those were pretty obvious questions, but I had never thought of them before. The Dusty Camel actually emailed me while they were hiking the PCT (I still can't believe that!) to talk about gear, and they helped me set up this online journal and find discounted gear. The Good Badger inspired me as I read his trail journal and then I coincidentally hiked my first miles on the AT when I climbed Mount Katahdin on the day he completed his thru-hike on Katahdin.
I have already had amazing support and help and I haven't even started my hike yet. I know that the better prepared I am before I go, the better my chances of completing my thru-hike, and I'm truly loving the research phase. I am about to make some gear purchases and I'll write about that process on my next entry. Happy Trails!

A variety of body treatments administered in spas. Herbal wraps, body scrubs, salt scrubs, Mandi Lulur.
Body Scrubs
Body scrubs,
are great way to make smoother, cleaner and glowing skin. Natural extracts are
used to help rid the body of rough patches by exfoliating.
Body Wrap
Body wraps were originally a treatment where Ace bandages or plastic wrap was tightly wrapped around the body to cause quick weight loss through vasodilation.
But today a body wrap in a spa is more likely to be treatment where you're slathered with a body mask made of algae, seaweed, mud, clay, lotion or cream, then wrapped for to keep you warm. Later the product is rinsed off. The body wrap usually ends with an application of lotion (technically not a massage). This body wrap treatment is sometimes called a body cocoon .
Mandi Lulur

By all accounts, Elias Manchester Boddy was a self-made man.
Boddy's early years were difficult. Born in a log cabin in Washington, gassed in Europe in World War I, Boddy worked his way through college with a variety of odd jobs, ranging from janitor to ditch digger.
Long before he made his fortune in the newspaper business, Boddy published a book. "Japanese in America," published in 1921, traced the diplomatic, trade and immigration history of Japanese Americans. Boddy proposed that "the Japanese can be both assimilated and Americanized."

A "low, slow, silent, see-through triangle" was videotaped in the sky above Leland, North Carolina, on the night of May 13, 2014.
The man who taped the event -- an alleged military combat instructor who prefers to remain anonymous -- reported it in August to MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, where it's listed as case #58923 and is still under investigation.

At the time, I was around 20 years old and I'd already read a great many ghost stories and books on hauntings. I had happily devoured fictional tales, such as those written by M.R. James, while I'd also bought just about any books on real-life or historical hauntings that I could find. Over 30 years later, I find myself sat in my study surrounded by non-fiction books on just about everything from Alchemy to Zombies, alongside the works of Dennis Wheatley, Poe, Lovecraft, Machen and others, but I had never read anything quite like Carnacki the Ghost Finder and the memory of my first time very much lives with me to this day.
I suppose it was the perfect book at the perfect time for me. I'd studied Latin, Greek and Ancient History at school, so I'd been introduced to some fascinating material concerning the Underworld and the monsters that inhabited these shady realms. My schooling in the classics had imbued me with some discipline, while I'd earlier read a book entitled Gods, Graves and Scholars that contained the fantastic accounts of Champollion's ingenious decipherment of the Egyptian hieroglyphs and Schliemann's equally ingenious discovery of the fabled city of Troy. I was aware of Sherlock Holmes and I'd seen the Hammer version of the Hound of the Baskervilles, which is of course a brilliant investigation into an apparently lethal haunting, but Carnacki's meticulous investigations were the first of their kind that I can remember reading.
On top of all that, I'd developed an interest in real-life, inimical hauntings, because by this time, I'd learned about the deadly phantoms in the Tower of London and in Berkeley Square. I then came to discover others, such as the haunting of a road in Devon that resulted in human fatalities a century or so ago and in recent years, I've learned of many more, but back in 1980, I was still coming to terms with the disturbing notion that supernatural entities could inflict physical harm. At the time, I was living in East Finchley, which is just a mile or so up the road from Highgate Cemetery, a place that was reputed to be the lair of a vampire, or so I was convincingly assured back in those pre-internet days.
So, while I was aware that Carnacki was a work of fiction, I wondered more and more about where William Hope Hodgson drew his inspiration from as far as the lethal hauntings he described were concerned. My curiosity led me to discover the remarkable manifestations produced by the medium Franek Kluski, as well as many other tantalising accounts of supernatural entities in the séance room, ruined castles and prehistoric monuments. Carnacki had enabled me to tap into a cornucopia of nightmare worlds, both in fiction and in historical accounts, something that continues to give me enormous pleasure.
In brief, I loved absolutely everything about the book and the compelling stories they contained. I even liked Carnacki's habit of entertaining guests for the purpose of telling them about his exploits, because at around this time, I had joined the Dracula Society and I'd been warmly welcomed into its ranks. I attended a few dinners and I met some very pleasant and engaging people, and while I had greatly enjoyed chewing the fat with them, I soon decided that I was less interested in Gothic literature than in investigating some of "Hell's mysteries", as the great man described these matters in The Whistling Room. However, my application to join A Leading Paranormal Investigation Club of the time was tersely refused by the club's president, so I decided "if you can't join 'em, beat 'em".
I don't live my life by literary proxy, but like everyone else, I'm subject to outside influences to a greater or lesser degree and there's no question that Carnacki's investigations captured my imagination. I was particularly impressed by his attention to detail and his open mind, while I also liked his admissions that he could be mistaken and sometimes fooled. Of all the aspects of Thomas Carnacki's character, I suppose I was most drawn to his ready confessions to feeling terror and loneliness when he was engaged in his nocturnal investigations.
Perhaps I'd have looked into them all anyway without ever having read the book in question, but Carnacki always came to mind whenever I had the opportunity to visit allegedly haunted locations in Britain and abroad, something I've been doing for decades. The most famous such places I've been to in direct connection with hauntings are Edgehill, Littlecote House, Borley, Clapham Woods and Silbury Hill, all of which were exhilarating, baffling and sometimes terrifying. The most satisfying investigation that I've ever undertaken was that of an apparently haunted church in southern Greece, on account of the feelings of sheer dread, puzzlement and disbelief I experienced when I was trying to fathom the true nature of the manifestations that were causing so much alarm to so many people, but I was also very gratified by the relief and sense of general well-being that followed when I was finally able to point out the agency behind the fearsome "Voice in the Night".
What else? As this site's devoted to an appreciation of William Hope Hodgson and his works, I'll just mention that I wrote some adaptations of the Carnacki stories for a production company some years ago, but the less said about that unfortunate episode, the better. Very briefly, the people with whom I was dealing wanted a 'love interest' for Thomas Carnacki, along with other refinements to Hodgson's writing that they felt would attract a large audience, whereas I felt the stories were just about perfect as they were.
It wasn't until I looked through this site that I realised that Donald Pleasance had played Thomas Carnacki. I was lucky enough to meet this man a little while before his death in 1995 and I was in awe of him anyway on account of what I knew of his career, although if I'd known at the time that he'd once portrayed Carnacki, I would certainly have asked him about it at some length. Sadly, it was not to be.
I could continue like this for a long while, but perhaps it's time to call a halt. I'll conclude by saying that if Carnacki the Ghost Finder had been the only book that William Hope Hodgson had ever written, then it would have had pride of place in my book collection as a unique and engrossing literary marvel. However, we all know of Hodgson's other works, so I'm looking forward to downing tools and indulging myself by reading every last thing on Sam's site, while it's obviously a place I'll return to, because I know of few other more engrossing subjects than Carnacki the Ghost Finder and the brave, visionary and exceptional man who wrote it.

Writing your own vows?
First, relax. This is not a test. There are no grades. Everyone passes.
What can you say in your personal wedding vows without sounding like a Hallmark card? I can give you some suggestions on where to start. It's a 'once in a lifetime' moment when you can say what's in your heart.
Think about what you'd like to say.
Some ideas start with:
"What's that one thing that you really love about your partner?
"What do they do that you love?"
"What do they do that drives you crazy?
"How do they make your feel when you're with them?
"What is it about your partner that makes your heart skip a beat?
"What happened that moment when you realized that they were the 'right' person?"
Start with: "Dear Wife:"
You may want to include a set of promises to one another. Here are some ideas to help you write your wedding vows. You may want to include some traditional words, but remember that these are your vows. Say what's in your heart:
•To love, respect, accept, honor and cherish each other.
•To be honest and always faithful.
•To respect the individuality of each other.
•To be best friends.
•To be kind, trusting, honest, giving and understanding.
•To bring joy and laughter into the marriage. Being silly at times is fun.
Your dream wedding vows require you to be inspired. Look for ideas from inspirational words written in poetry, books, movies, etc. that touch your heart. When something moves you, it expresses your own feelings. Artfully write down the personal and special moments of your relationship. Express them in a brief, simple and well-chosen manner to allow your wedding guests to understand their meaning.
When you have completed writing your wedding vows, you may want to share them with your wedding minister. He (or she) may have helpful suggestions for you. They are experienced at creating the perfect ceremony. In addition, I always recommend to keep your vows to a limit of two index cards. That way you both will speak for approximately the same amount of time.
Make sure to have a copy of your wedding vows on an index card with you at your wedding ceremony. Never try to memorize them. You have too many other things going on to worry about this.
Remember that your wedding vows are a public declaration of your commitment to one another so read them slowly, loudly and clearly. Your wedding guests are there to witness your marriage ceremony and they should be able to hear your words.
I was interviewed for an article in New Jersey Bride Magazine about writing your own vows.
By Patricia Koch
You've fallen in love. Now try putting that magical connection into words to explain why you belong together forever. Original vows can be the centerpiece of an especially memorable ceremony.
That's why New Jersey couples—as many as 40 percent of them, according to officiants we spoke with—are writing their own. If you're game, here are some expert tips: Speak from your heart. "When couples prefer personal sentiment to pre-packaged words, I suggest they tap into their feelings, stay under fifty words, and avoid the words 'honor' and 'obey,'" says Mitchell Maged – MitchTheMinister (201-410-6834).
"I advise brides and grooms to write five or six sentences from their hearts to reflect the openness and permanence of their relationship," adds Father Vince Corso (973-571-0053).
In her book, 1000 Best Secrets for your Perfect Wedding, New Jersey Bride contributing writer and author Sharon Naylor suggests using a love letter or diary entry that reflects "what you find most important in each other, in your partnership, in marriage, and in love universally." There's no right or wrong way. Couples have exchanged one set of vows, surprised each other with totally different vows, even had one speak traditional vows and the other original ones.
In all cases, they were officially married. Don't memorize. Spare your nerves and read your vows—or repeat them after an officiant. "Vows come at the emotional height of the ceremony, when you're ready to explode," Mitchell counsels. "So my couples write them on index cards to read when the time comes. I ask them to keep these vows secret from each other, so they're fresh for the ceremony." Stick with tradition. There's nothing wrong with traditional vows; couples have been tying the knot with them for generations.
As Father Vince tells us, "Some couples feel connected to grandparents and parents by saying traditional 'I dos.' Old or new vows don't measure a marriage. These couples have already pledged themselves to one another. This is simply the public proclamation of something that's been in their hearts for a long time."
Even so, there's something magical about phrasing your mutual love in your own words. When couples do, Mitchell claims, "It's like I'm not really marrying them; they're marrying each other. I always suggest they save their personal vows. On their first anniversary, go out for a nice romantic dinner and re-read them to each other. It's very romantic."

The Reality of Muskie Fishing: There are no Guarantees
by Paul Hartman
I was fortunate enough to fish with many great people last season. Some laughed at many of my stories, but said it was nice to hear that I, too, didn't catch muskies every time out. Quite the contrary, I often feel like my muskie vacations are like the skier crashing off the jump on the Wide World of Sports introduction - I know the agony of defeat!!!!
Every muskie story is about a rampage, a huge fish, a miracle lure, a "new " pattern or a lake so good that muskies stand in line to eat your lure. A behind-the-scenes look at many muskie tales would reveal countless hours and days without so much as a follow, let alone a strike. People usually ignore my "fish-till-you-drop with no result" stories, yet they seem to soak up every detail of a huge muskie story like a dry sponge.
The truth about muskie fishing is that it is not the sport of the elite - but the stubborn!!! Who else would call "vacation" a 500-mile trip where they fish for 14 hour days in 90 degree heat, barely muttering a word all day that is not directly related to when, where, or on what. This is not a sign of eliteness (or even a hint of intelligence). It is a bold statement of stubbornness. If you doubt me, eavesdrop on a conversation at any muskie angler gathering and after getting a person's view, try to convince him to objectively list to your opinion on the opposite side of the coin. You may THEN say you fully comprehend the meaning of being an "elitist muskie angler."
The plain and simple truth is some hours, days, weeks or seasons, the fishing is great - others are just about impossible. This is true regardless of whether you target sunnies or stripers. The key is to understand that it's "JUST MUSKIE FISHING." Don't take it so seriously! If they don't bite on this spot, things are bound to happen on the next spot, and if not - so what - tomorrow is a new day, and it will happen then.
All to often I share my boat with anglers who feel they are doing it all wrong. More often, after several hours of fishing, I inform them they are doing it all "by the book" - great job! Unfortunately, reality is they chose a physically demanding sport pursuing a fairly rare fish that is extremely temperamental. You're looking for the infamous needle in a haystack - except this needle can hide or even turn and go the opposite direction if it doesn't like you in its barn! It takes time to build confidence, and once you finally do, it will only take a tough trip or two to strip you of it all. The bottom line is - sometimes they do, but mostly they won't.
One of the best muskie anglers of modern times once caught 11 muskies in the 50-inch class in a 24-hour period. He has also spent two weeks straight, casting to those same spots and never even had a follow! The fish were probably all there on the tough trip, but something was just not right. There is a big difference between seeing a muskie lying inactive on the bottom and a follow. So too, there is a big difference between a follow and a muskie in the boat. Accept the fact that time on good water, effective presentations, and luck are all large pieces of a huge puzzle that equals successful muskie fishing.
Keep a positive attitude. Taking a sport that is this physically and mentally demanding too seriously is certain to lead to disappointment. A great example is that in the past five years I have nearly 35 days on the waters of Whitefish Bay in Lake of the Woods fishing muskie in October. In those 35 days, I have had only three muskie bites. I'm so stubborn that I'm excited to get back up there every fall. Cast after cast, I'll expect that big crunch, and if, day after day, it doesn't happen - well there's always next fall.
Remember it's JUST MUSKIE FISHING and while we all want every cast to be a homerun, we should all thank God for the opportunity to even stand at the plate on any given day.

I was standing in the middle of my grandmother's cabin in Maine. It was July. So, every rider knows that the Tour de France was happening. But, this was 1989. A time when you had to dig around to find what was happening in the cycling world. There was no instant gratification. You might wait days or weeks to find out what happened in a big race. But, CBS, for some reason, was covering the last day of the Tour. I don't think it was live, but it was on TV the same day, so it might as well have been.
I was riveted to the last stage of that year's tour. The closest tour in history. I can't force you to feel my excitement. But I had just finished four years of intercollegiate road racing from 1985 to 1989. So, you knew Greg Lemond or you were in a coma.
Imagine that video coming through the rabbit ears into my grandmother's old TV set next to a lake in Maine. Imagine Greg not wanting to hear his splits and driving his bike with the newfangled aero handlebars and aero helmet at 30 miles per hour. Still one of the fastest individual time trials in tour history. It was the American putting his head down to do the impossible. His French opponent was leading before this last day, a race against the clock. He had to buy back fifty seconds in 15 miles. It was just impossible. Laurent Fignon, the Parisian, wore no helmet and had drag inducing bullhorn handlebars. It was going to be a victory parade into the finish line in his home town with his ponytail blowing in the wind. No way he'd lose that much time in a relatively short time trial.
2:22 into the video below is my favorite part of that day. Fignon's coach is yelling to him from the follow car. He yells the splits that Lemond is throwing down. You see Fignon do a double-take back to the car and then stand up out of the saddle and pedal for his life. Lemond wins by the smallest margin in Tour history. I was jumping up and down and yelling inside a cabin on Highland Lake in Maine. It's still the most amazing thing I've ever seen in sports. American sticks it to the Euro's. Don't tell me my splits. Just go. Awesome.
Now, back in the 80's, I still idolized sports heroes. Especially in sports that I did. Cycling. Cross Country Skiing. Running. Over the years, I've become disillusioned. Lance. Floyd. Tyler. Cross country skiers whose names you won't recognize. Full of drugs. I have vowed to just idolize the people who are studly in my neighborhood. People with jobs and kids who still go out and do the aerobic freak thing.
Lemond previously won the tour in 1986. The first American to do so. And now, the only American to do so, now that Floyd and Lance have been stripped of their titles. And in 1986, he did it in a famous battle with his own teammate, Bernard Hinault. Hinault won in 1985 when Lemond was strong enough to win. Lemond held back so that his teammate could win. Hinault, promised to help Lemond win in 1986. Hinault went back on his word in 1986. He fought Lemond, his own teammate. Loyalty was not a two way street, apparently. Lemond won anyway. Lemond was my hero. I'll admit it.
Following that 1986 Tour, the World Championships were at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. (Just learned that the Worlds is returning to the US in 2015 for the first time since 1986.) I had just finished my first year going to school there. I had just finished my first year of racing bikes. And the World Frigging Championships landed in my lap. Between classes while the teams were in town from around the world, we used to get on our bikes and go out and ride around campus and try to jump in with the teams that were out practicing and checking out the courses. We couldn't believe our luck. You might see somebody famous like Sean Kelly on your lunch break. Or Laurent Fignon. Or Greg Lemond.
The day of the World Championship road race at the Academy, I got several rolls of film and went out to go around the course and watch the best riders in the world go after it in the place where I lived. My cycling teammates and I waved the American flag in the Rocky Mountains.
On one segment of the circuit, the pack came by at thirty-plus miles per hour. I panned the camera in front of me and snapped the shutter. I swung the camera as fast as a baseball bat and hoped that somehow, I managed to get a good picture of somebody I recognized. Remember, this was film. No little screen to see how you did.
Weeks later, when I got my film developed, I found what could be the most amazing photo I've ever taken. I randomly snapped a picture of Bernard Hinault and Greg Lemond riding next to eachother. In perfect focus. In 1986, the year of the first American victory at the Tour. Bernard Hinault's last professional road race. At the Air Force Academy. You can't make this stuff up.
The picture was so embedded in my old photo album, I couldn't peel it away from the backing. Maybe I should take better care of such an amazing photo. Get it framed or something.
But, I'm more likely to frame my results from the American Birkebeiner in 2001. It was the first time I did it. I flew in from Utah, before I knew I would live in Duluth, just a short drive away from the race. I figured I couldn't call myself a skier unless I went to the largest cross country ski race in North America. Kind of like a pilgrimage.
There was fresh snow the night before. The snow was deep and slow. Like skiing through a Slurpee. And in one of those strange convergences, Greg Lemond did the Birkie that year. I believe it was the only one he did. And I beat him. Look it up. His only Birkie and my first.
I probably shouldn't get such charge out of that. But, I do. You're damn right, I do.

Warner Bros has a man in mind to direct Justice League, and it is none other than Ben Affleck
Update: a contradictory report is coming from Deadline, saying that Affleck's reps have denied the possibility of him taking the gig. According to this new information, he'll still meet with the studio heads to hear them out but already passed on the script a few days ago.
Having made a film that was both a critical and financial success (THE TOWN) for Warner Bros, with another film releasing in the near future (ARGO) and another actively in the works (THE STAND), Ben Affleck is certainly riding high in the studio's good graces. Having him take on THE STAND shows a fair amount of trust for a director who has heretofore only worked with stories that are told in a more contained capacity, so it's not altogether surprising that they may be willing to have him shepherd their premiere property into existence.
The word is that Affleck is currently the only potential director to have received Will Beall's script, and will presumably be meeting with the studio sooner rather than later to discuss this rather monumental undertaking. Helming JUSTICE LEAGUE would place Affleck at the nexus of DC's new cinematic universe, a position which would bear a great deal of responsibility and take up a great deal of time.
Besides all of this directing talk, Affleck is also considering starring in a sci-fi drama called REPLAY about "a man who dies and gets the chance to relive his life over and over again, changing partners and professions each time." All in all Affleck has a wide variety of opportunities on hand, and being a huge fan of his recent acting/directing work I'm very excited to see what career path he chooses for himself.
This all being said, if Affleck were to take JUSTICE LEAGUE I would imagine that THE STAND will fall by the wayside for the time being - would you be okay with that, or would you prefer THE STAND to a big screen JUSTICE LEAGUE?
|Extra Tidbit:
|Affleck was also offered MAN OF STEEL, but elected to make ARGO instead. Thank the movie gods.

ESSAY QUESTION: The following appeared in a proposal for a high school's annual fundraising event: "In order to earn the most money for supplemental school programs, we will have larger and more thrilling rides at this year's School Fair, including a ferris wheel that is twice as tall as last year's ferris wheel. In addition, the game vendors will award more expensive prizes and the food stalls will showcase a variety of upscale international dishes. As a result, we will be able to charge a higher entrance fee and the dollar amount we earn via our commission on the vendors' revenues will be higher than it was last year."
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. Point out flaws in the argument's logic and analyze the argument's underlying assumptions. In addition, evaluate how supporting evidence is used and what evidence might counter the argument's conclusion. You may also discuss what additional evidence could be used to strengthen the argument or what changes would make the argument more logically sound.
The argument states that in order to raise more money at the annual school fund-raising event the school would have larger and more thrilling rides at this year's school fair. In addition the game vendors will award more expensive prizes and the food stalls will showcase a variety of upscale international dishes. Hence, the school would be able to charge a higher entrance fee and it would also earn more money via its commission on the vendor's revenues. Stated in this way the argument manipulates facts and conveys a distorted view of the situation. The conclusion of the argument relies on assumptions for which there is no clear evidence. Hence the argument is weak and has several flaws.
First, the argument readily assumes that the number of people attending the fair would remain the same or become higher even after a hike in the entrance fees. This statement is a stretch. The fair is normally attended by the family of the children studying at the school. If these families consider the high entrance prices as a deterrent to attending the fair, the number of people attending the fair would actually come down, which may not result in increased earnings from entrance fees. The argument could have been much clearer if there was a study of the disposable income of the families of students attending the school and considering what amount of increase in entrance fee would be acceptable to these families.
Second, the argument claims that more people would be lured to the fair by larger and more thrilling rides, including a much larger ferris wheel. This is again a very weak and unsupported claim as the argument does not demonstrate any correlation between the people attending the fair and the kinds of rides that they like. For example there would be a substantial percentage of students who would be scared off by the larger rides. If the argument had provided a survey of number of students who were actually in favor of larger and more thrilling rides then the argument would have been a lot more convincing.
Finally does giving away more expensive prizes and showcasing upscale dishes increase the revenues of the vendors ? More often a more expensive prize or an upscale dish would be accompanied by the vendor increasing the cost of playing the game or cost of the dish, respectively. This may deter people from spending money and cause a loss in revenue. Without convincing answer to this question, one is left with an impression that the argument is more of a wishful thinking rather than a substantive evidence.
In conclusion the argument is flawed for the above-mentioned reasons and it is therefore unconvincing. It could be considerably strengthened if the school undertook a survey of the income level of attending families and the preference in rides of the children of the school. Without this information, the argument remains unsubstantiated and open to debate.

My balcony is full with fresh herbs, especially the mint and lemon herb grows much faster than I can use it. So I decided to make some lemonade. I´ve never done this before, but guessed it couldn´t be that hard.
I found a recipe on the internet and this is what I did:
Make a syrup by heating 1/4 of the water (you can use still or bubbly water), 1 cup of sugar, half of the mint and lemon herb and half a lemon (organic) in a small saucepan. Wait untill the water boils. Take the saucepan of the fire and let it cool down.
When it is cooled down, poor the juice through a strainer into a a pitcher and add the juice of the rest of the lemons. You can also use lime if you wish to. Fill your pitcher with the rest of the water.
Add ice cubes and the rest of the mint and lemon herb. You can also let it rest in the fridge for a few hours so the flavours get more intense. Use more lemon or sugar if you want it more sour or sweet.
Serve your lemonade. Hmmmm

Dental Assistants Who Earn DANB Certification Receive Higher Pay, Demonstrate High Employer Loyalty,
DANB's 2012 Salary Survey Shows
CHICAGO (October 30, 2012) — The Dental Assisting National Board, Inc. (DANB)2012 Salary Survey reveals that dental assistants who have earned DANB certification receive a higher salary than non-certified dental assistants and demonstrate high employer loyalty. The findings are consistent with DANB's previous salary surveys, which have been conducted since 2001.
DANB, which is recognized by the American Dental Association as the national certification board for dental assistants, offers not only the Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) national certification exam but also the Certified Orthodontic Assistant (COA) and Certified Preventive Functions Dental Assistant (CPFDA) exams. DANB surveyed thousands of dental assistants from around the country who hold DANB's CDA certification about salary levels, types of work benefits, job satisfaction and other issues.
DANB's 2012 Salary Survey shows that full-time dental assistants who hold the CDA certification earn a median salary of $18.60 an hour, $1.54 more than full-time dental assistants who do not. The survey also shows that the average CDA salary has climbed slightly since the 2010 salary survey, particularly notable during a time of economic difficulty and high unemployment rates.
Employer loyalty
CDA certificants also show high employer loyalty, averaging eight years in their current position. Many see the survey as a valuable resource for employers seeking new employees. "I recently changed jobs," mentioned one respondent, "and several of the dentists I interviewed with utilized DANB's salary survey for establishing salary." Echoed another CDA: "I think this survey is a wonderful tool for prospective employees as well as for potential employers."
Other benefits
CDAs also credited DANB certification for a number of benefits outside higher pay. Among them were pride (82%), self-improvement (72%), employer recognition (60%), elevation of the profession (51%), patient respect for credentials (45%), career mobility (45%), recognition by the dental community (45%) and the potential to perform additional dental assisting duties (45%). "Since obtaining my credentials through DANB," said one respondent, "I have more confidence and I am more appreciated in my job." Said another, "Being DANB certified reminds me that compared to other co-workers, I have gone the extra mile in my education and it shows in the work environment."
Many may not see the value in getting this additional certificate. It holds as much value as a tube of Fresh Fingers does to a person who has all the time and facility to wash their feet regularly. For those who see the value in having fresh smelling feet, it makes a lot of difference. Similarly, this course adds the above mentioned values to those who are looking for improvement in their career.
One of the top most priorities everyone has, when they get into the professional world is the pay. The better your pay is, the better you are perceived to be performing in the industry. For those who seek an overall achievement, an increase in knowledge, recognition and pay, is what will fit the bill. This course helps such dentists to achieve what they aspire.
With better recognition comes higher level of confidence, and this shows not only in the way you carry yourself, but in your performance too. When the knowledge base is widened, you will be able to take better informed decisions than those who don't have the knowledge. As a result, the performance improves, thus improving your business and the pay increases like a by-product all of all this.

DALLAS (Reuters Life!) - U.S. author Robert Wright traces the history of God and suggests that it might point to the unfolding of something divine, though perhaps not in the sense that most people of faith would envision.
In his new book "The Evolution of God," he takes his readers on a journey through the spiritual beliefs of our ancestors to the development of the three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
The book has two convergent paths. One traces the material history of faith looking among other things at how "scriptural interpretation is obedient to facts on the ground."
The other path is a more speculative one that Wright compares to Darwinian evolution and leads to the notion that our history has been one of moral progress, which suggests that something divine may be afoot.
Wright spoke to Reuters about his book and his ideas, which are sure to provoke a lot of debate.
Q: "One question you raise — and it seems to be a central thesis of your book — is the notion that if history is naturally pushing us toward moral improvement perhaps it is a sign of divine purpose. Can you elaborate for our readers?"
A: "Ever since hunter-gatherer days the scale of social organization has increased to the point where now we are on the brink of a global society. All along the way that has forced us to expand our moral horizons in the sense of including more and more people of different ethnicities and nationalities in the category of neighbor in some sense.
"So in America, in some sense, we consider all Americans our neighbors and I think that's moral progress ... compare that kind of really inclusive perspective to what prevailed 2,000 years ago or 2,500 years ago when members of one Greek city state viewed members of another Greek city state sub-human. And we are challenged to expand our moral horizons in the sense that if we fail to social chaos can ensue.
"And I think we are at that point now with globalization ... we tend to expand our moral imagination. And I think the fact that history keeps putting us in this morally challenging position at least suggests the possibility that there is some sort of larger purpose working itself, unfolding through the workings of nature."
Q: "As you note, many critics may find this questionable looking at the history of the 20th century."
A: "Most seem to, yes ... first of all the progress doesn't only proceed in fits and starts with backsliding. Even so I would say that the average American has a more elevated view of the average Japanese or German, not only than Americans did during World War II, but even before World War II. And I think that's a sign of progress.
"Also it apparently is the case that as massive as the violence may seem to us in the 20th century that actually the percentage of the whole world's population that died violently has actually been decreasing and apparently that even includes the 20th century ... And I think the fact that we have such a dim view of the 20th century is itself a sign of our moral progress.
"All you have to do is go read the Old Testament to be convinced that people back then would not have taken a dim view of that sort of slaughter; it was proscribed by God back then. Wipe out whole cities because they believe in the wrong god."
Q: "You don't believe in the Abrahamic God, though you did come to Christ as a Southern Baptist in El Paso in Texas when you were a child. But you aren't part of the neo-Atheist movement either. How would you describe yourself?"
A: "I describe myself as someone who sees evidence that there is a larger purpose unfolding and is therefore I guess not an atheist. And I see the purpose as having a moral dimension ... That suggests some notion of the divine, however abstract.
"But I don't purport to know whether there is anything you could call a God. I don't buy any of the claims of special revelation of anyone ever in the history of the world. I think if there is a revelation it is in the unfolding of history and it is equally accessible to anyone who wants to pay attention. I don't think anyone has been singled out by God for private communication about this."

After my May 2012 blog post (https://lipglossfiend.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/my-first-gelish-manicure-and-pedicure/#comments) on my first Gelish mani and pedi at my neighbourhood nail salon, For Your Nails Only, I've since bought plenty of Groupon vouchers to try out Gelish manicures and pedicures at nail salons across the island 😛
I've discovered a number of good salons in town, except that with high rentals, they come with high service prices. For me, nothing really is as convenient as something near home that I can simply stroll to in my sloppiest attire. The several Gelish nail polishes I've tried out have included the American Harmony Gelish, Asian Jacqueline Burchell and Korean label Angel Pro. They each have their pros and cons, with Harmony and Angel Pro being more lasting than Jacqueline Burchell. Harmony does wearable shades pretty well and has a new Magneto range. However, certain shades do change colours after some weartime. Get your manicurist to advise on that. Jacqueline Burchell stocks a mind-boggling array of shades (hundreds), with glittery, sparkly shades their forte, imho. They fill in the gap for Gelish in that regards. Angel Pro does sweet candy shades very well and is slightly thicker in texture, which renders it suitable for nail art, apparently.
Just last week, I was bumming around my Bishan neighbourhood again and decided to drop by For Your Nails Only for an impromptu Gelish manicure. The owner, Ira, now runs a one-woman show and the prices have actually been revised downwards to reflect this. When asked, she said that she works round her young daughter's schooling schedule, which I think is a fair trade. So do be advised to call to book an appointment before heading down.
For Your Nails Only stocks Harmony, Jacqueline Burchell and Angel Pro. While the selection for the latter 2 are fairly limited, I'm pretty sure more will be brought in over time. LED lamps are used, rather than UV ones, which is another plus as LED lamps cure faster and do not have UV rays.
Yes you read correctly. It's just S$28 for a Gelish Manicure (that includes a full manicure – shape, buff, trim and removal of cuticles). Oh and a free soak-off with your next nail service at For Your Nails Only. Most gelish groupon vouchers are in their $20s and several places have informed me that that does not include cuticle trimming. Bah.
The Gelish Pedicure is at a slightly pricier $38, which includes a classic pedicure, which is awesome. The most recent Gelish Pedicure voucher I purchased from Groupon only offered an Express Pedicure service (which wasn't mentioned on the voucher). Furthermore, owing to the number of customers the salon had to serve at Tanjong Pagar, I ended up with streaky nail polish on several of my small toes.
So would I bother with Groupon manicures and pedicures once my current stash is used up? I doubt it. With For Your Nails Only just a 10 minute walk from my home and with reasonable prices and service quality, I won't bother.
Here's a shot of my Gelish manicure done at For Your Nails Only after about a week. No chip, no fade and still looking a sweet lilac-pink. This is one of Angel Pro's shades.
~*Service rendered was fully paid for by me*~

$560M Lottery Winner Fights to Reverse 'Huge Mistake'Newser — Rob Quinn
The mystery New Hampshire woman who won a $560 million Powerball jackpot still has a privacy problem—but there's no shortage of people offering to help. Lawyers for "Jane Doe," who wants to collect the prize anonymously but made the "huge mistake" of signing the ticket, say they've heard from people all around the world who are offering to help, most of them demanding a fee of $1 million or more for collecting the prize on her behalf, the New York Times reports.
The lawyers say the offers show exactly why the winner wants to keep her name secret: to avoid the "violence, threats, harassment, scams, and constant unwanted solicitation" that have plagued other lottery winners.
New Hampshire law requires the release of the name and hometown of winners, though the winner would have been able to remain anonymous if she had set up a trust.
Doe's lawyers want her to be allowed to set up a trust to claim the ticket, but the state lottery commission says it needs to be submitted in its original form.
The lawyers have urged the state to let her claim a $352 million lump-sum payout while her battle for privacy plays out in court, the Boston Herald reports.
"With her prize winnings, Ms. Doe will be able to obtain the necessary security to ensure her and her family's safety and take other protective actions in order to mitigate acts of harassment and annoyance," lawyers said at a court hearing Tuesday.
A deputy state attorney general representing the lottery commission argued that with a jackpot that size, there is a "public interest in who the winner was, and that it is a fair and equitable process."

I have a question about the recipe "Key Lime Tarts" from cristinasciarra. Which size McVities biscuits, there are more than one, and where does the second can of condensed milk fit in?
For the biscuits, I would assume the standard roll size of 14oz/400g, and for the condensed milk, I would guess that you're using them both at the same time. But you might want to consider sending a message to the recipe author (by clicking the envelope button on their profile page: http://food52.com/users...) to ask for clarification.

There are several myths that surround fire sprinklers. I'm going to start with three. I'll post more on the subject as time goes on.
1. All sprinklers in a building go off at once – False. Sprinklers are individually activated according to their temperature rating. When the heat from fire in a room near a sprinkler reaches a predetermined temperature the sprinkler will activate and spray water. Only sprinklers that are near a fire will activate.
2. Sprinklers are known for activating for no reason – False. While I can't say there have never been accidental activations they're the exception rather than the rule. I've read about sprinklers activating as a result of placing unexpected heat sources too close to them. Others have accidentally gone off for other reasons. Usually human error is involved somehow such as bumping them or hanging objects from them. For the most part, sprinklers are very reliable and accidental activation can almost always be blamed on human error.
3. Sprinklers spray huge amounts of water and cause severe water damage – False. Sprinklers discharge a fraction of the amount of water a fire department would use in a typical fire. A typical sprinkler will discharge 15 to 25 gallons per minute depending on the coverage area. Just one hose line from the fire department will discharge 250 gallons per minute.
Look for more myths in the future. If you have any questions or comments drop a note in the comments.
UPDATE: Here's an example of an accidental activation. [theledger.com]
