11/9/13 I was booked to walk in the Facet fashion show, I had such a great time. From the rehearsals to the day of the show it was very entertaining. I meet and networked with so many beautiful and humble girls, it was easy to be myself and get accepted. I walk for five talented designers. I loved throwing my clothes off in the back and rushing to put my next outfit on; it was exciting and a challenge. The show was a big success; everyone did their part and made the night very memorable. S/O to Miss Dunnie B Onasanya and her Fiancé Ibrahim Hasan, the engagement was perfect. I left information the list of designers at the bottom, enjoy!

Motorcycle safety could be improved by a volunteer group promoting advanced riding skills.
East Sussex Advanced Motorcyclists (ESAM) has launched as a non-profit organisation aiming to reduce bike accidents in the region, the Rye and Battle Observer reports.
The group hopes to promote advanced riding skills and is planing social get togethers and ride outs to attract members.
Quoted by the paper, ESAM representative Paula Goldsmith said advanced riding is "not about slowing you down on the road" but about helping ridersbecome better at predicting hazards.
Motorcycle insurance customers could be interested in the group's advice, which could help them reduce their chances of having an accident and therefore having to make a claim.
The ESAM website includes advice on what to do in the event of a crash as well as details on the System of Motorcycle Control, which is designed to help riders negotiate hazards.

April 15th 2008
Having just finished the last book in my Stoneways fantasy trilogy (tentatively titled The Magicians' Daughter), I've been thinking about how important a strong finish is. Wrapping up a series is always difficult: in addition to tying up all the loose ends in the narrative, you have to make sure all the characters' individual arcs are pulled neatly together as well. (And it's not a bad idea to leave a few openings for potential sequels, too.)
The Stoneways ending was especially tricky, however, because of a challenge a friend of mine issued to me after I finished the first book, Reiffen's Choice. I had written one earlier piece set in this world, a novella that had nothing to do with the novels. (Note to aspiring authors – never try to start a career with a novella. They're hard enough to sell even when you're published.)
After reading Reiffen's Choice my friend told me I had to connect it back to the original novella. "No way," I said. "They have nothing to do with each other." "Exactly," he replied. "That's why it would be really fantastic if you could manage it."
Not being someone who easily ignores a dare, especially a good one, I decided my friend was right. I spent months trying to figure out how the stories could be connected when none of the characters were the same and the events in the two tales were thousands of years apart. But the great thing about fantasy is that you can get away with just about anything you want, as long as you make what happens something that could logically occur given the magical and motivational constraints of your world. I found a way to do it, trimmed away the absurdities, and wrote the story.
The trilogy was better for it. As it turned out, connecting the two tales provided me with a terrific way to drive the plot of the third book. It forced me to be creative about what was motivating my characters and the sorts of ripples their actions would cause to their world. Not too creative, mind you. As noted above, if you stretch the boundaries of your world and characters too far, there's a good chance you'll lose the reader. (See James Alan Gardner's recent post on the subject of the Idiot Move.)
I think I wrote a much better book because of my friend's challenge, but I won't know what readers think until The Magicians' Daughter comes out. In the meantime, if you like the series and are looking forward to the conclusion (due from Tor in 6-9 months, I think), don't read the novella. Too many spoilers.

I've got to say I like endings that tie two or more stories together… it makes it feel as though there is a greater (and deeper) picture – mirroring life, which often displays the same mixture of connection and randomness.

Scarlett – Hopefully that's what I've managed to pull off. It does make everything seem much deeper and more interconnected when seemingly disparate elements are tied together at the end of a story.

We have moved yet again. After two months of house-sitting in an urban oasis, we packed up our things and said our goodbyes. We took the dog out for one more walk. We cooked one more dinner. We slept one more night. And then we left.
The next morning, our belongings were jammed into a U-Haul and shoved into storage. We found ourselves in domestic limbo. Thank the universe for the kindness and goodwill of friends, for without them, we would've likely filled up a cooler and pitched a tent somewhere in Centennial Park. Instead, for one week, we had the great fortune of staying in our friends' guest room. They opened up their kitchen to us without judgment of our homemade and highly aromatic kimchi or the bubbling bread starter left out on the kitchen counter. We played board games, had a fish fry, built a bonfire.
But we couldn't stay there forever. After a week, we traveled north to our heimat. Welcomed by rolling hills of bluegrass and thick, hearty green forests filled with birdsong, we saw family once more before summer's end.
And so begins our next assignment. Four months in a charming home in Sylvan Park. Built in 1918, with original hardwood, the floor plan seems almost labrynthine, each room like a reverie that leads to the next. Outside the house, the plants seem to wander and thrive just as the rooms. Tomato plants climb 12 feet up into the trees, some bearing bright yellow, sweet fruit. Others recline rangily, spreading themselves across the lawn. The harvest has been so fruitful, in fact, that each day yields a heaping bowlful of plump, red fruit. And as I have had my fair share of gazpacho and herbaceous tomato salads, I searched for another route. I first considered cooking them down and making a homemade pasta sauce with lots of garlic, fresh oregano, and anchovy. But I found myself wandering out of Italy and into France, which led me to this classic tomato tarte.
It starts with an ultra-buttery dough, the kind perfect for quiche or quite literally any pie you can dream up. But to make it even more comforting, I added a small amount of wheat flour to the dough. The result is an intensely rich, flaky crust with the warm flavors of toasted wheat. As for the filling, it began with deeply caramelized onions and dijon mustard, covered with a layer of blistered, sweet cherry tomatoes and fresh thyme. Served with a green salad and a glass of good red wine, it's hard to beat.
Classic French Tomato Tarte
For the dough:
1 1/2 cups white flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks VERY COLD butter (225 grams), diced
1/4 cup ice water
1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
For the filling:
1 pound cherry tomatoes, whole
2 yellow onions, sliced in rounds
3 tbsp dijon mustard
neutral oil, canola is fine
salt and pepper
To make the dough, dice the butter and allow it to chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Meantime, in a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the butter to the flour and, with a pastry cutter (or another fancy device like a stand mixer), mix until the butter is incorporated into the flour. The butter should break into small pieces about the size of mustard seeds, but should not be any smaller. These pea-sized bits of butter will melt luxuriously into the dough when it cooks for great effect. Add the ice water, a little at a time, until the dough just comes together. Form it into a rough disk, wrap it in plastic, and let it chill in the freezer for 45 minutes to an hour.
As the dough chills, heat a large pan on medium heat with a bit of oil. Slice the onions and let them cook for about 5 minutes without stirring them. The idea is to allow them to sit so they caramelize. Give them a stir and repeat the process. Over time, you'll notice that the onions will begin to turn a rich golden brown. They should not burn. They should, however, reduce considerably over the course of an hour.
As the onions cook, heat another pan on medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Wash the tomatoes and throw them in the pan. Let them sizzle, blister, and burst. Every once in a while, give the pan a little shake to move them about.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Once the onions have caramelized deeply, add the 3 tbsps of dijon mustard. Stir to mix and then taste. If your dijon mustard is considerably salty enough, don't add any more. Otherwise, add salt as needed. Likewise, season the tomatoes with salt and fresh black pepper.
Remove the dough from the freezer and place it onto a clean, floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll it out to a circle about 18" in diameter. It will initially be difficult to roll out, but will become easier as it warms up. Be sure to flour it as you go so that it doesn't stick. Once rolled out, place the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the onion-mustard mixture over the dough. Leave about 2 inches at the edge to be rolled over as the crust. On top of the onion mixture, pour the tomatoes. Fold the edges of the dough over to form a crust. With your thumb and index finger, crimp the dough where it folds over upon itself.
Bake it for 1 1/2 hours, or until the crust has brown. In the last 10 minutes, rub the outer edges of dough with the beaten egg yolk. Let cook until it has a burnished sheen.

London needs more houses. Anyone who's spent an hour talking to a Londoner cannot be unaware that this is a top priority. Anyone who followed last year's mayoral election will have heard promises of new buildings, affordable flats, lower rent prices and other utopian promises. But what happens when it's decided that these houses should be packed onto the site of current estates? What happens to a community when its few hundred houses are destined to be replaced by several thousand?
I currently work for a church in West London where a third of our parish is facing this situation. Two estates that have been homes to a few thousand people for the past 60 years are due to be demolished and replaced with 11,000 new flats. This decision was made behind closed doors without the resident's knowledge and only became public when it was a done deal. Years later and the plans are still rolling on, accompanied now by cranes and concrete mixers, while the residents have a campaign to stop them.
I have at times felt on both 'sides' of this situation. On the one hand I sympathise with the residents; disempowered and ignored whilst rich developers make obscene amounts of money at their expense. Joining their campaign can feel like following Robin Hood into a fight with the far better resourced Sheriff of Nottingham who comes accompanied by many well-heeled lawyers. On other days when I see the effects of our housing crisis I can see that the local politicians have been chosen by us to make the difficult decisions about town planning and how to arrange our country's resources, including our land, and whatever decisions they make will inevitably upset someone. As I meet with the developers they talk about their commitment to providing more housing so that everyone can have a home and not be left in substandard and neglected accommodation.
Locally these two opposing positions have meant that neighbours refuse to speak to each other as they pick a side. Some try to ignore what is happening hoping that somehow it will all go away. Others sit worrying about where they might be raising their children in a few years' time and whether they will still call London 'home'. Others call it gentrification; destroying a rich culture of diversity to be replaced with cookie cutter high streets and flats which appeal to the middle classes.
And into all of this God calls the church to be involved. Day by day these estates are what many people call home. Their lives continue as they go to work, send their children to school and meet their neighbours. The mission of the church to see these communities flourish by the power of God translates to youth clubs, Christmas parties and English language classes. In some ways this is a similar story to many churches up and down the land. But these communities face a particular challenge: a threat to their very existence. If the development goes ahead they may end up living on the same space but nothing will be recognisable, the culture would be irreversibly changed as the buildings around them transform and thousands of others arrive. If the development is halted and the estates remain what effect would a long fight have on the community? What does mission look like in either of these scenarios? How would God call us to pray? Where should we direct our resources? How do we write a mission strategy when it is uncertain whether parts of the estates will still be standing in a year's time?
Ultimately what kind of communities are we building and how should the church be involved in that conversation?
There are two different directions in which these questions could take us. One direction is around planning decisions and advocating for equality within the housing sector. What percentage of affordable houses should sit alongside luxury penthouses? How do we mix up different types of people to prevent 'sink estates'? What do we do about our homelessness whilst precious flats are sold to foreign investors who may visit only once a year (if at all)? A lot of vital work is being done by churches and other faith groups thinking about these issues and advocating for a better way forward to all. To learn more about this get to know Citizens UK and Housing Justice.
But for me, day by day as I walk around my local area, another answer to the question of 'what kind of communities are we building?' and 'how should the church be involved?' is beginning to take shape. The more time I have spent getting to know the challenges around this situation the more I have found myself reflecting on the ministry of reconciliation that Christians are called to. As neighbours fall out over developers plans there comes a need for each to be reconciled to each other. As developers plough on ahead without input from the residents there is a need for dialogue to begin. Reconciliation opens the door to relationships and forms the backbone of a flourishing community. Reconciliation with Christ is at the heart of a flourishing life and holds everything together.
Reconciliation isn't easy but then of course good things rarely are. For me it has meant acknowledging the different positions outlined above but choosing not to take a side. Officially as a local church we are neutral and will work with any who wish to serve the people around them. With both developers and anti-development campaigners beginning community projects I sit in meetings with each where the other is routinely criticised. Sometimes I have tried to bring people together but this has rarely gone well and has shown that nothing happens quickly or easily. It can also on occasion, lead to increased animosity. Yet when it happens that we do see diverse groups meeting and learning together or partnerships are formed that bring benefit to both organisations, you can see tiny nuggets of reconciliation gold.
I don't know what my area will look like in the next five, ten or fifteen years. I don't know what kind of people will be living here and how neighbourly it will feel. I don't know what missional endeavours will have been undertaken. But I hope and pray that it will be a place where reconciliation has led to a flourishing community and I hope that at the centre of it will be a church community that continues to seek the good of all regardless of which side they began on.

MASINLOC, Philippines (Reuters) - Filipino activists denounced China's coast guard on Tuesday for turning water cannon on Philippine fishing boats in disputed waters, near where hundreds of Filipino and American Marines landed on a beach in a mock assault.
The presidential palace in Manila said China's coast guard used water cannon on Monday to drive away a group of Filipino fishermen at Scarborough Shoal, damaging some of their wooden boats. Chinese ships rammed a fishing boat in the area a few months ago.
China in 2012 took control of Scarborough Shoal, about 130 miles (210 km) west of a former U.S. naval base northwest of Manila, preventing Filipino fishermen from getting near the rich fishing grounds.
"China has no right to use water cannon on the poor fishermen," Renato Reyes, secretary-general of left-wing activist group Bayan (Nation), said in a statement, while criticizing the government's dependence on the U.S. military to protect the country.
"To stand up to China, we need to develop our economy and our capacity for external defense," Reyes said. "We can't do this by hanging on the coattails of Uncle Sam."
In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the department could not independently verify China had used water cannon but said that, if confirmed, it would be a "provocative act" and a "step backward" for efforts at a diplomatic solution.
"Countries should not use force or coercion to support disputed territorial or maritime claims," Harf told reporters.
One fisherman said he had heard talk on his radio of the Chinese coast guard using water cannon.
"I was some miles away when I heard the fishermen calling for help when a Chinese ship used water cannon on them," Michael Lanog, 32, from the coastal village of Masinloc, told Reuters.
China claims most of the potentially energy-rich South China Sea, with overlapping claims from the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan, and denies charges its actions in what it says is its own territory are provocative. The Foreign Ministry has not commented on the latest accusations.
Philippine President Benigno Aquino has directed the Foreign Affairs and National Defense departments to come up with a response to the water cannon incident, said presidential spokeswoman Abigail Valte.
Philippine and U.S. Marines resumed their biggest combined military exercise in 15 years on Tuesday, a demonstration of Washington's commitment to its longtime ally as it rebalances to Asia.
Not far from Scarborough Shoal, about 750 Marines from the Philippines and United States landed on a beach in two waves using amphibious assault vehicles to retake an island in a mock battle during the largest drills in years in the country.
"This is an exercise," Colonel Doroteo Jose Jalandoni told journalists at a naval base in Zambales province. "We are not looking at other things. We just want to improve our skills and proficiency."

November 20
For Christmas I am planning a trip to upstate New York which will take me through Manhattan for two days and two nights. My daughter and I will hook up at the Newark Airport where she will be arriving from Mexico and will have left her car in the parking lot – and then we drive to Kingston, two or three hours away, where she and her family live, and where I'll spend the holidays, returning December 26.
I'll get to the city on the 14th, and have prevailed upon friends to provide lodgings for three days and two nights. That is, I thought I had prevailed. My friend who lives in a downtown loft agreed to let me sleep on her sofa for two nights. I was fine with that but she kept emailing me how uncomfortable I was going to be and suggesting hotels – so I got the message. I am on a budget, but not so much that I can afford to impose.
This took me to many websites for "Cheap hotels NYC." She recommended the QT, which is a chic little place with elegant amenities, and rooms that go for about $400 per night. Not exactly on my budget. I was saved when they had nothing available on my nights. I searched and found a couple of places with prices hovering around $100 per night. Damn, I remember when The Plaza was $100 per night! Anyway, I was looking a fleabag hostelries and having the devil of a time finding anything. I found something in the Times Square area for $99 per night, which was described as having "décor reminiscent of Las Vegas…and minimal infestation." I asked my friend and she went to its website (which didn't have the "infestation" line) and said it sounded fine. But as I drifted off to sleep I realized it was probably a brothel, or one step above. Couldn't do it.
But every other hotel, in or out of my price range, said on their websites that they had nothing available for my dates. There was a little place in the Gramercy Park area, called The Gershwin, which sounded quaint and Parisian, but had nothing available. I liked the sound of a place over on the West Side, off Columbus Circle. These hotels have user reviews, and this one had a reviewer complain that it was noisy and didn't have cable TV. What jerk goes to New York to watch cable TV? And what spot in the city isn't pretty noisy? I find the noise of the city comforting; I can sleep to it.
The Columbus Circle place had nothing available, but when I woke up I decided to telephone and see if I could wheedle something. All I need is one little bed and a little bathroom. When I called, the clerk was pleasant enough, and sure enough there was a place! My NYC friend says I'll love what's happening over there in the Columbus Circle area. And I know my way around the city well enough to get anywhere I want to go from there.
So a little adventure on the Internet panned out. And it will lead to a real-life adventure of two days and two nights in Manhattan, catching up with a few friends from the distant past, and the city itself, the love of my life. What could be bad about that?

I want to start off by posing a question. When was the last time you read something for fun during the school year? Now, when was the last time you watched a show or movie on Netflix?
If I were a betting woman, I would guess your answer to the latter question is much more recent.
I've always been an avid reader, but found myself relegating pleasure reading to extended breaks or beach vacations, as I'm sure many of you have. The ease of opening up a laptop and mindlessly watching episodes of The Office for the 600th time usually reigns supreme after hours of academic reading and writing.
However, I want to encourage you all to try something new this spring, and introduce pleasure reading into your routine. Whether you indulge in 10 pages or 10 chapters in one sitting, take the time to read a novel, memoir or long-form article that you enjoy. I promise you'll see benefits in your energy and focus levels and creativity.
Now I know the process of finding a book to enjoy can be daunting, so UP has decided to start a book of the month club where we will publish suggestions and encourage intelligent discussion regarding each month's book choice.
UP debuted this idea in our Winter 2018 issue (found here) with The Vanity Fair Diaries by Tina Brown. If you're interested in reading about fashion, publishing, writing or just badass women in general, give this compilation of Brown's diary entries a try.
With spring break coming up and the typical post-midterm lull, there's never been a better time to start this new habit.
After you've read Brown's work, tell us your thoughts! Feel free to comment directly on this post, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, stop by our office (Armstrong 3016), or tweet us @upfashionmag.

How is tooth decay treated?
The dentist needs to assess the Cheap Oakleys depth of the tooth decay and, through a process of Fake Ray Bans drilling in the tooth, remove anything that is decayed.

Are you looking for Personal Funding?
Having worked with over 2200+ clients based on all sorts of financial scenarios, I can confidently tell you that if your file is not structured right, getting personal funding may be difficult.
Here at Best Credit Resources - our goal is very simple.

How much can you qualify for?
It all depends on a few factors. Look at some of the questions below to get a clear picture:
- What kind of Credit Score do you have (anything below 680 can be easily denied by most creditors)
- How much history do you have in terms of credit on your 3-Bureau Reports?
- Do you have any derogatory items that are showing in your file? (I.E.: Collections, inquiries, late payments, public records, etc)
The above-referenced points are just some of the factors to look into, albeit that they are major underwriting decision-making points.

Family Photography at the Historic Barrington Hall
Roswell GA
I got to meet this amazing family a couple of weeks ago at the Historic Barrington Hall for a quick family session. We were in for a surprise with an unexpected (but quick!) rain shower but even that didn't stop this adorable family from having a great time during their session! Little John Fritz had just turned one so this was his first birthday/milestone session and also a gift from his aunt! I was instantly in love with him and his easy-going attitude. The whole session lasted just under an hour and the amount of gorgeous images we managed to get was insane! Hope you enjoy some of the highlights here.

A few men have the gift of speechifying pontifically and saying little. Like Warren Harding, 29th President.
Warren Harding at the podium. Bloviating.
Warren G. Harding: Newspaper Man
Harding was always a hands-on newspaperman.
Warren Harding was one of the most affable men in town. He was easy going, a bona fide glad-hander, and a fellow who fit easily into any social setting. Tall and good looking, he supposedly gained political supporters because "he looked like a President." While some were not enthusiastic about him, there are very few records of anyone actually disliking him.
Harding was said to be the best looking young man in town.
When WGH came to Marion, Ohio, he was still looking for a career path. Following a mediocre college education, he had spent some time working for a printer, and liked it well enough. He became part-owner of a Marion weekly newspaper, finding potential…

Before I really start getting into this post I would like to apologize to anyone who does come to this site to read or listen. I have been taking a short break from blogging and podcasting for a number of reasons that I will get to at another time. It wasn't my intention but it just kind of happened, and then it kept happening. Anyway...back to my originally planned program.
Have you ever found yourself asking 'why you want what you can't have?'
Of course you have. You're a human being. You did it as a child, even if you didn't realize it and you (we) still do it now.
Or maybe I should just speak for myself? Yeah that's probably best. I'm not in the business of putting words in people's mouths because it's never fun when it happens to you.
I can confidently say that I've been wanting what I can't have since I was old enough to verbally say that I wanted something. That's basically 30 years of experience right there so I'd like to think I'm kind of a pro at this point.
Remember when you were at [insert random store] with your parents and you saw something that in retrospect was dumb as fuck but at the time you really wanted it? Nay, you NEEDED it. You couldn't imagine living your life without it, at least for the 5-10 minutes you were in the store, or until you saw something else you just had to have.
Kids generally have better imaginations and shorter attention spans. And as kids we imagine how great it would be to have that thing (usually something stupid like a candle holder...no? Oh...yeah I meant that awesome toy...)
Do you remember a time when your parents actually got that thing you really (read: randomly) wanted? Well looking back now as an adult I don't blame parents for not getting their kids stupid shit. What the fuck is a 5 year old going to do with a measuring cup? They aren't tall enough to help out in the kitchen and I'm sure that household has plenty of cups to use for drinking beverages at home. Also said household probably has at least one measuring cup in the cupboard somewhere.
You know how in the wild, new born animals naturally know what to do, like learn to walk? Well I think the equivalent for humans is learning to want what we can't have. You could argue that I'm baseless in that statement and I would 100% agree with you, but I'll take my chances.
I feel like I was born to want what I can't have. And that's not an invite for pity. I seriously mean it. When I couldn't get the Playstation 2 when it first launched in the year 2000 because a) my parents didn't want to get it for me, b) it was expensive, and c) the thing was out of stock for what seemed like 2 years, my desire for it grew exponentially every passing day I didn't own one.
I remember being on eBay looking at auctions for the PS2 that were about to end that weren't ridiculously price gouged. I also remember being so disappointed that every PS2 on eBay was going for more than $1,000. Yeah...Sony definitely won the console war that generation.
Can you imagine a world where parents just bought kids whatever it is they wanted? The kids will quickly realize that the thing they wanted is actually pretty fucking lame and then the family would just be stuck with it, or throw it out.
The counterpoint to that is, what if parents selectively bought their kids the useless stuff that they clamor for at the store? Especially the things that are really stupid that they know their kids will forget about. That could potentially teach the kids a lesson that the things they want may not be what they actually want? Or that the things they want might not be all that great?
When those kids grow up to become adults, they could have learned early on that what they don't have, isn't always something that they want. Or better yet, if they get the thing they so desired that it turns out it's not so great. I for sure could have benefited from this.
But what the hell do I know about child rearing? The closest thing is just having been a child that was being reared. (That sounded weird to me too...)
Anywho, how does this relate to me now? Well, it's basically how I still live to this day. It's basic economics. I still desire things that I can't have. Maybe not as much as a when I was a child because I know that things actually cost money. Money that I may or may not have, and even if I do have it, is it the smartest decision?
The difference between me then and now is that I know the difference between 'want' and 'need'. Or so I think I do. When it comes to goods and services, I have to actually think if I really want or need something. There are certainly times when we need to buy something. Then there are times where we just want to buy it.
If you're financially independent, you get to make those choices for yourself. You must suffer the potential consequences of making a bad purchase. You could always return (save that receipt!) or have an awesome credit card that has a perk that lets you return stuff no questions asked (FYI I have no idea if that is an actual credit card perk that exists...).
But what happens when those wants and needs go beyond things? What happens when it comes to people such as potential friends or lovers?
I'll tell you what happens. It gets WAY harder. We all live in our own lives, but we share the same reality. We all exist on the same plane. We (people) are not objects. You can't make someone your friend or lover without mutual desire or consent.
When I look at it this way, it makes total sense. It's logical. It's a rational approach. But because I am human, and I've lived my entire life wanting what I can't have, that natural instinct makes it so difficult for me.
I'm no stranger to rejection. Some rejections hurt less than others. But conversely, some rejections hurt way more than others.
Rejection sucks. How you deal with it is the difference between climbing out of a whole versus being stuck in it.
At times I am a very rational person and other times I'm a very irrational person. Most of the time it is my emotions that are the drivers of my irrationality.
I often find myself irrationally upset. It's at those times I have to beat logic into my thoughts. I say beat because it's so easy for my emotional brain to brush off a feeble attempt at reason from it's logical other half. I need to beat my emotional side into submission. It doesn't always work, but self awareness is half the battle.
I know, I know. I'm just stating the obvious. It's the things and people that are unavailable that we want most. Have you ever stopped to think that your imagination of how great a thing or person is, is actually better than how great they actually are? Let that sink in for a second.
I've been guilty of desiring the love and affection of unavailable women. Call it a bad habit of mine. The only way I know how to get over it is to just suffer through the pain and sorrow until the glow of that person fades into nothing, or I force myself to hate them. I have to trick myself into thinking they are awful people. Sometimes they just are awful people. Other times, I just have to pretend because it's too hard for me. Which sounds really immature and stupid, and it is because it's not fair to the other person. I never want to hate anyone that I care about, but I created this bad habit out of necessity. Because I didn't know how else to deal with it.
I get upset at myself for getting upset.
I need to start thinking that maybe that unavailable person that I have really strong feelings for just isn't that great in real-life. Maybe there's a reason why they aren't available. Not just the fact that they might not share the same feelings, they may have other shit going on in their life, and/or maybe, just maybe, they are not the right person for me.
I need to stop thinking "what if" because I often get lost in hypothetical scenarios and make decisions based on things and outcomes that I want. People often use their gut when it comes to love and romance. Nothing wrong with that. The idea of that is actually quite romantic. But if you're like me and your gut is often times wrong, maybe try the opposite of what your gut says from time to time. Easier said than done, but it's seriously worth considering.
I'll be the first to say, there is no painless way of getting rejected or getting over a rejection. What brings me peace is that I know I'm not the only one going through what I go through. Well...peace makes it seem like I'm happy that we all suffer. But that's not what I mean. What I mean is that we are all human, and it's these experiences that make us human. Also it makes me feel like less of a weirdo. My words, not yours.

Barchick SaysDate Updated: 07/04/2014
A bar down a spray painted 'alleyway' lit only by red lights and beer signs… yeah this sounds like a goddamn party. Go casual or wear your glad-rags, you won't feel out of place here. The only competition for their massive range of international and craft beers is their selection of over 50 bourbons. Pick up their handy Bourbon Bible if you're struggling.
BarChick plonked herself right in the middle of the action on a treasure chest, surrounded by work groups and first dates, and drank Porkey's Revenge (Alley Cat's Wild Turkey 81 Bacon infused bourbon, Berentzen Apple, maple syrup and lime), peng. Peckish? The Chili Dog is two delicious, massive, spicy dogs and well worth forgetting your manners for.
The vibe is chilled and music hits everyone's foot tapping nerve. Large alcoholic teapots are served to those getting their game faces on, and this place is a must for bourbon, beer, food, fun loving or relaxed roamers prowling the streets of Belfast looking for the perfect alley.

Free XML-Based Web Automation Toolkit Now On The Net
Page 1 of 1
WebMethods announced it is making its popular Web Automation Toolkit freely available on the Internet.
The eXtensible Markup Language (XML)-based toolkit allows organizations to connect applications to existing Web sites and integrate business applications directly over the World-Wide Web.
"Much of the initial coverage about XML has focused on publishing and content management. WebMethods encourages this, but we also want to foster greater understanding and use of XML particularly for business-to-business e-commerce over the web. By freely distributing our Toolkit, we enable an even larger group of developers to begin developing XML-based applications now," said Phillip Merrick, president and CEO of webMethods.
An integrated development, testing, and management environment, Web Automation Toolkit 2.1 uses XML for data exchange but works with existing HTML. It requires no corporate developer expertise in XML, but includes an HTML/XML parser together with what the vendor says is a "groundbreaking XML RPC that enables any application to exchange data with any other application using just HTTP and XML."
Anyone wishing to deploy his or her applications to larger numbers of corporate users will need to acquire WebMethods' Web Automation Server, the pricing of which starts at $1,295 per concurrent user.

Some decades ago, WC was backpacking in the Oregon Cascade mountains, traipsing downhill through heavy rain, when WC carelessly stepped on the back of a rattlesnake. The force of WC's heel, and the weight of his backpack, broke the snake's back about six inches behind its head. Leaving the snake thrashing on the trail, biting at leaves, sticks and stones. WC would have liked to have put the thing out of its misery, but even a mortally injured rattlesnake is dangerous.
Pebble Mine – the terrifying proposal to create the world's largest, open pit mine in the headwaters of the world's most productive salmon spawning grounds – is pretty much a dead issue. Public opinion and federal regulation finally recognized that a mine that might produce 55 billion tons of copper and 67 million ounces of gold from an ore body that is only, at best, 0.78% valuable minerals is going to produce mine waste of some 705 billion tons. That doesn't count overburden, or non-mineral bearing rock removed to get at the low grade ore. Mine waste is laced with heavy metals, acids and poisons.The EPA reports that mining waste has contaminated portions of the headwaters of over 40 percent of watersheds in the western continental U.S., and reclamation of 500,000 abandoned mines in 32 states could cost tens of billions of dollars. At Pebble, this unimaginably vast amount of dangerous gunk would have to be stored safely forever. Many folks – including the EPA and WC – don't think it can be done.
On the other side of the equation is the world's most valuable fishery. The mine, in the headwaters of Bristol Bay, would carry the potential of damaging or destroying the world's largest remaining wild salmon fishery. That immense pile of mine waste would be a threat forever. And the world is full of instances of supposedly safe mine waste storage facilities that have failed, sometimes catastrophically.
As public realization of the risks of Pebble cut through the fog of disinformation from Pebble, the partners in Pebble Group, the mine's promoter, withdrew. Anglo American, a 50% partner, walked away from its investment in 2013. Rio Tinto, a major investor in Northern Dynasty, the other Pebble partner, withdrew in 2014. Now "Pebble Partnership" is just Northern Dynasty. It lacks the financial resources to proceed. Public opinion has shifted against the mine. Northern Dynasty has lost a string of important legal cases.
But like that rattlesnake, Northern Dynasty is thrashing around, striking at what it thinks may be its enemies. Northern Dynasty is suing the Environmental Protection Agency. As far as WC can tell, Northern Dynasty accuses the EPA of unfairly listening to someone besides Northern Dynasty in performing EPA's duties. Even in the unlikely event that EPA were to lose that lawsuit, it's not going to solve the problem of gigatons of mine waste is a priceless fishery. It's not gong to change the hydrology of Bristol Bay. As a strategic tactic, it's stupid. As a use of shareholder dollars, its pointless. It's the behavior of an mortally injured rattlesnake.
Northern Dynasty is trying to compel the testimony of people in the environmental community. Pebble thinks they are its "enemies." There's no financial upside for Pebble, no return on the fearsome investment in lawyers. At the very best, it's petty revenge, schoolyard bully tactics.
And from an industry perspective, Northern Dynasty is making it that much harder for the industry to work in Alaska. Northern Dynasty is poisoning the well, generating vast amounts of ill-will that linger in Alaska long after Northern Dynasty is down. But that's what an injured snake does. It strikes mindlessly at friend and foe alike.
The snake has an excuse; it has a brain the size of half a peanut. What's Northern Dynasty's excuse?

Oh man this is epic! Your lens did a good job with the light starbursts for only being at F7!
Pjerry November 15, 2017
Thank you very much. A real nice compliment. The 24-70 was my first real great lens. I had already good lenses, but this one is really fantastic, for a zoom lens. Later I bought the primes from Sigma, the Art f/1.4 "series". They blow away my 24-70, but still I'm always very happy when I use my 24-70. The new Nikkor is even better, but also a lot more expensive.

People do still judge a book by its cover! From short-run digital books and mass market paperbacks to prestigious hardback volumes, I can lead you through the entire book cover design process from creating a range of initial visuals to unique finished and fully-specified artwork. I will also carefully design the spine and back to compliment the front cover of your book.
Templates are OK. They are like a pre-made set of visuals – that everyone else also can see and also choose for their special and unique book project. Often you can't find exactly what you're looking for and so might need to opt for the closest match, or adapt the template which could end up taking longer than starting from scratch. I will take a brief from you and provide a range of bespoke solutions based on your unique ideas. If required, I can adapt a template instead to suit your requirements. I can also guide you in choosing a final design for your book cover.
I've been involved with designing unique book covers for publishers and individual authors for over 18 years creating hundreds of bespoke book cover designs. I've also completed designs using chosen pre-built templates. Contact me today to discuss your unique book cover artwork requirements.
If you are a publisher or an agency representing a publisher, please contact me about how we can work together.
Trevor has provided an excellent design service for us over a number of years. He brings to every project a rare combination of creative flair, technical expertise and attention to detail – so important in professional design when mistakes or oversights could be so expensive or time consuming. He is 100% professional and thoroughly reliable; but at the same time truly creative – able to follow and interpret briefs but also to volunteer different approaches, often hitting the perfect design solution from his own ideas. Highly recommended!David

BHT Response Services invited me to their team meeting to discuss the Intern Programme yesterday.
We had a great discussion on how they will create an Intern role that will bring real value to their service while giving someone the opportunity to gain awide range of skills. We discussed what being a mentor would involve. I was impressed with how this team approached this with consideration and enthusiasm.
Like everyone I've spoken to they were keen to explore how the small financial enhancement for mentors could be better used.
People have a much stronger preference for career development opportunities over small financial incentives.No Comments

YES, CHINA IS AGEING. The population of China will reach roughly 1.45 billion by 2030 from 1.3 billion now. It is forecasted that over a quarter of the population will be age 65 or above by 2030 giving rise to a drastic shrink in the size of national labour force which will greatly hinder the growth of China's economy in the long run. This imminent problem is attributed by the one-child policy implemented by the government of the People's Republic of China in an attempt to combat rapid expansion of population between 1949 – 1979 when healthcare and medical attention became more easily accessible by general public, including those in rural areas. In the hope of alleviating the ageing issue, China has loosened its one child policy to now allow families to have two children – the two-child policy.
The one-child policy was introduced in 1970s to mitigate economic problems such as shortages of food and housing caused by rapid expansion of population. This mandatory rule was strictly enforced across the country, especially in the urban areas, where families who had flouted the rule would be heavily fined. The one child policy had always been a controversial topic not only for its constraint on reproductive freedom which most consider as basic human right, but also for its enormous impact socially and economically. After 30 years of implementation, socio- economic issues have started to emerge, just as many had anticipated. The work force has shrunk massively and expected to shrink continuously, attributed to the immense demographic imbalance between the old and young, threatening economic growth. In addition, China's youngest generation who were born under the one child policy will be left having to provide support for his or her two parents as well as four grandparents, posing significant financial pressure on them.
It's apparent that immigration would not be the preferred solution to the economic problem due to the tough foreign policy China had long adopted. Resorting to two child policy would seem more probable and feasible. With the new policy, effective from 1st January 2016, about 90 million women have become eligible to have a second child. However, apathy of the general public towards the new policy is observed from the low birth rate in 2016 and 2017. Chinese women gave birth to 17.2 million babies in 2015 but the number dropped by 3.5% in 2016 where there were only 1.31 million newborns more than the previous year. The figure falls short of what the government predicted which is 2.5 million, with the birth rate continuing to decline in 2017.
Baby boom was surely expected but it did not happen. What went wrong? The one child policy had somewhat undermined the Confucian patriarchal tradition in the Chinese society where women, being the only child, has been exclusively invested with family resources to receive education and later on join the work force. Women have gradually departed from their former role of primary caretakers of the family. However, long working hours and high living costs leave most women no choice but to settle with only one child or even none in order to stay in their jobs. Gender discrimination against women further discouraged them from having child; a survey found that 33 percent of female workers had their pay cut after giving birth and 36 percent of them were demoted. Coupled with the lack of institutional support such as paid maternity leave, affordable child care as well as healthcare, the birth rate continues to fall. The ageing problem will not be solved unless the government commits to provide sufficient incentives such as tax concessions, affordable childcare and health care as well as adequate protection of women from gender discrimination at work.'

As an a/c service provider in Phoenix metro Arizona I could tell you, in the summer season it obtains exceptionally warm. Small investments could help you decrease electrical prices when running your a/c. As an a/c tech and local business owner I have pertained to actually think that your thermostat is the most vital part of your HVAC system. It controls the entire system and is basically the brain behind its operation. Certainly all of your air elements are essential due to the fact that one will certainly not work without the various other. I would say no issue where you live, regardless of if you are heating up or cooling you are residence and or office, the thermostat is the most budget-friendly product you can update to gain performance. A minimum of 50% of electric usage in your house and workplace originate from your cooling and heating system.
Nest thermostats and ecobee3 wise thermostats are two points i wish to notify customers about. I see short articles about these things here and there and want to toss my 2 cents around. I base my organization on thinking in that eco-friendly field, the non inefficient realm, and the globe of wise modern technology, cutting edge and simplicity of use. I silly question but, some individuals really do not care and the fact is most individuals are not educated. Smart ecobee4 vs nest are incredibly exact which minimizes on and off times. They are programmable and that causes some loan financial savings by setting thermostats to not run your air at temps you do not require due to not being residence. So, all you need to do is set your temperatures and let the thermostat do the work. To be straightforward, I enjoy them both. I have utilized numerous for many years and have come to such as these 2 the most due to the attributes. I have to provide my clients products that will not fall short promptly, that will certainly be budget-friendly to them and products that wo not trigger me recall.
The nest, its fancy, strong and absolutely incredible and user friendly It could be used under lots of applications and is very compatible. Excellent manufacture support however just has a two year warranty; it also obtains upgrades through the net connection all by itself. Application regulated and thermostat controlled. I had a customer lately that was looking for all type of functions in a thermostat. He had some appealing standard equipment. Heating through a heat pump, air conditioning via the heat pump He likewise had an oil discharged, hot water boiler radiation system. With the Ecobee3 I was able to set the customer as much as manage his radiation and his heat pump.

Chefs Russ Johnson and Jonathon Stranger have created an original menu and time-honored atmosphere. The brightest ideas from the mid-20th century are incorporated into every aspect of the classic, sentimental flavors of The R&J experience.

I was introduced to this quote by a student…
'The line that runs from the ancient world through Plato and the medieval church to Descartes and the Enlightenment and into the contemporary world, turns out to be inaccurate. There is not an opposition of mind and body, reason and emotion, spirit and matter, order and chaos, and so on, and still less is there a privileging of the first in each pair in comparison with its poor, dark twin: instead only complex, lumpy, ever-present materiality, which informs ourselves and everything we know.' (Pearce, 2010, xv)
I don't think the student was expecting me to rant at him about it, poor guy. It still rankles because (with all due respect to Pearce) that line does not run through the mediaeval church. The mediaeval church is the scapegoat for many things that people don't like about their own history but, in this instance, the role of the church is much more nuanced than Pearce implies.
The problem is that the position of the church on mind-body dualism was fraught with difficulties that they had inherited. On the one hand, the church had chosen to communicate through the language and categories of the Greco-Roman world. Whilst Aristotle's position on this is quite thoughtful and nuanced Platonic and neo-Platonic thought does seem to have carried with it the idea of mind-body dualism. At the same time the church inherited (whether it like it or not) Hebrew thought which insists on the mind and body as a whole, valued and redeemed by God. The mediaeval church was caught therefore in this tension between Greek and Hebrew thought, trying to maintain irreconcilable positions.
To be fair, the position of theologians shifted across this tension. Pseudo-Dionysius rewrites neo-Platonic ideas into a Christian frame and thereby inherits that dualism. Augustine has, it seems, profound misgivings about the body – and the importance of Augustine cannot be underestimated. But, as the work of Caroline Walker-Bynum has shown, church orthodoxy never let go of its Hebrew heritage. It is the real body that is redeemed or fragmented on the judgment day in the images on cathedral walls. It is the real fragments of bodies that are venerated, though not always without misgivings. Mediaeval church thinkers might not have liked it but they maintained the self as a psycho-somatic whole (not that they would have used such a phrase).
It is difficult to live with an unresolved tension like that. More recently, N.T. Wright has criticised the latent dualism in many Anglican (and Methodist) hymns. You can hear it too in Southern Country Gospel: "No more cold iron shackles at my feet, I'll fly away". In a sense the appeal of escape is understandable; the songs offer the promise of a release from a world of physical hardship but they are on theologically uncertain ground. N.T. Wright's recent work has focussed on re-establishing the balance and on expounding a vision of Christianity which takes the salvation of the whole self and the whole creation seriously.
From a slightly different perspective, process theology (as far as I understand it) offers a potentially complimentary approach. I think it was Philip Clayton who recently commented (probably on a Homebrewed Christianity podcast) that we no longer live in the Greek philosophical thought-world, therefore we do not need to use the categories that have been inherited from the Greeks to do our theology. We can, therefore begin with our own contemporary categories to re-think both our theology and church practice. Personally, I think the notion of embodied cognition has a lot to offer even as it creates profound challenges for the way that Christians think.
That said, even if the church was not the scapegoat that Pearce implies, it would still not comfortably with the position she espouses. The church was, and probably still is, committed to a vision of the world that is more than "complex, lumpy, ever-present materiality".

We modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order. The Bible tells us that God did not originally make the world to have disease, hunger and death in it. Jesus has come to redeem the world where it is wrong and heal where it is broken. His miracles are not just proofs that he has power but also wonderful foretastes of what he is going to do with that power. Jesus' miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming. (The Reason for God, by Tim Keller)
God takes the crumbled and restores. He takes the broken down and recreates.
He is who you want.
