We have spent another week cruising the Southwestern styled mini-Mc Retirement mansions of Sun Lakes on our bikes. Vicki goes to the "Y" for exercise classes and I work on our pathetic little stock trading account. (Now down 37% YTD) (Aren't I the the frigging Wall Street Wiz?) After the market closes (at 2:00 pm our time) we head out to bike for an hour.
Anyway........ While riding this week on a street in our old neighborhood I noticed a sign clothes pinned to a chair in a previous acquaintance's front yard. My wife and I had spoken with the couple during the time we lived in our old home, but we had never gotten to know them. When we passed by the first time I barely had time to read the sign completely, so I turned and went back.
The sign read: "WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP AMERICA BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY AGAIN?" About this time the old gentleman came out and we talked for a moment. He said he'd made a smaller sign and framed it. To prove this he went into his home and came back with a framed sign with the same saying. I told him that I appreciated the sentiment and was impressed that he had printed and displayed it. At that point the old man started to break down and I excused myself and said goodbye. I was moved by his passion and strength of feeling.
I wonder how many of us have taken the initiative to stop whining about how bad things seem and start thinking about what we can do to make things better. It sorta sounds like the old 60s quote: "If you're not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem."
It speaks to me about all the folks who are gloom and dooming us to death these days. Wouldn't it be nice to hear more from people with solutions?
What do you think?

CLICK HERE to learn more about the meeting, which aims to:
...provide improved awareness and educational interaction from some of the world's most eminent experts covering treatments relating to cerebral palsy, Lyme disease, spinal cord injury, autism, Alzheimer's, stroke, wound care, multiple sclerosis, near drowning, traumatic brain injury, coma, and anoxic encephalopathy.
This is the off-label crowd. We've heard them called worse. And for our own healthy curiosity and wide coverage of commonly treated diseases and conditions, we've quite often been counted among them. Good. High time we shook hands, then, put our heads together, and compared notes on current practices in hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the future of healing.

It's amazing that many people can fit comfortably in one place...at full house there were 6 adults and 16 children. Thanks Ginger (and Kent) for letting us stay! Gail and Andy were staying in Westgate at the Canyons, so we had access to swimming anytime the kids felt the need...which you can imagine was often.
I took Sam and Kenna on a nature hike. We basically walked down the dirt road and cut over to the lake. Those 2 could have thrown rocks in the water all day if I would've let them.We grilled steaks and built a fire...Sammie's first smore!
The kids played a lot of games and I got some time to read. The book I was reading is a children's book that is read in schools (The Giver by Lois Lowry). I had great book club chats with my pre-teen nieces Dawna and Jessica. Without them I would never had know it was the 1st in a series!
It was near impossible getting in and out of the cabin, but well worth the life-threatening drive! They were digging up the roads for new water lines...of the 3 routes, this was the only option. "You want us to go under that!" Add tons of rain and you've got a cabin full of scared women and a boat-load of kids...not a great combo.

Georgia considers the resolution on Georgia a "step forward"2011-11-18 15:40
According to the Georgian Minister for internally displaced persons Koba Subeliani, resolution on Georgia, adopted on the eve by the European Parliament, is a certain "step forward" to return to Abkhazia and South Ossetia. As reported by the GHN", according to the minister, the whole world has recognized that Russia has "occupated" Georgia's territories.
"Over the past year I have not heard such harsh statements. This is another step for returning "occupied territories". The whole world has recognized that Russia has "occupied" part of our territory .... The change of this position depends on future events. The main thing is to have the starting point ...", Subeliani said.
Recall, the night before, the European Parliament adopted resolution on Georgia, which mentioned the term "occupation" several times, referring to the Republic of Abkhazia.
"It is important that the statutes claim that Georgia is a sovereign country which has the right to choose their future vector. The document three times referrs to the term "occupation", as well as ethnic cleansing, and accused Russia of human rights violations at the occupied territories", Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze commented the adoption of the resolution.
He noted that 560 MEPs voted for the resolutions, 20 were against, 20 MEPs have refrained.

I really need to get my life OR GAN IZED!!
School is so discombobulated.. the house has not been getting cleaned properly.. The boys haven't been played with enough.. I just need to.. organize.. and I'm thinking this blog is going to help.. man.. I don't know why I stopped blogging.. well, actually I do.. it's because I have this awkward relationship with journals.. in which I LOVE to write in them.. but when I go back and read them.. I'm not like.. "Wow.. I love that girl!" ha! I'm more like.. "I should go buy a new journal and start fresh.. and this time.. no more complaining.. and no more writing about food or my weight.." The worse feeling of all is when I go back and read in my journal and I see all the pages that emphatically say "Tomorrow is the day!" and then a few pages later its obvious that I didn't in fact change ANY my bad habits.. yeah.. that will most certainly send me to the store to purchase a pretty new journal in which to start fresh in.. *sigh*
I have at least 20 journals in my room that are only partially written in.. and I use the word "partially" very literally.. I probably write in about 20 pages.. and then buy a new one a few weeks later.. The reason I only have 20 is because at first I was throwing the old ones out.. I have tossed hundreds of journals..
I did that with this blog too.. I created one.. got a pretty little background.. wrote tons of stuff.. then got real insecure about what I wrote.. and deleted those specific posts.. but then I just cancelled it because I kept setting up goals for myself and not accomplishing them.. I felt like a total loser.. which is NOT what I need in my life.. so I cut off the source..
But then I just went back to paper journals.. and I probably will keep one of those too.. but this online blog is soooooo much easier.. you can save.. delete.. post pictures.. and maybe best of all.. "meet" other young moms who feel the same way as I do..
So.. I'm going to revamp my blog.. I'm going to make it look perty.. update it with photos of my family.. it'll be great..

Oh Nicole. I really wish you could see how great you are! You are WAY too hard on yourself girlfriend! Sure we all have things we can work on. NO ONE is perfect. Even if they seem to be, trust me, they're not! But you don't give yourself enough credit!ReplyDelete
This may sound cliche but God loves you! Just the way you are. Right now. Not who you could be. Or the "better you." He doesn't expect perfection to love you UNCONDITIONALLY. He takes you just how you are.
Embrace yourself, flaws and all. Stop second guessing yourself and stop comparing. It's the only way to be truly happy. Trust me! :)

There is an alternative to that greasy hamburger you love! Tonight I made vegan pub food for dinner, and I think I died and went to heaven! It was SO good!
First on the menu was black bean burgers, served on a whole wheat bun. And of course, smothered in organic ketchup and mustard!
Here's the recipe!
Black Bean Patties by Chloe Coscarelli
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 small carrot, peeled and finely diced or shredded (about ½ cup)
- ½ cup cornmeal
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup water
ProcedureTo make the Black Bean Patties: In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onions and let cook until tender and slightly caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer onions to a large bowl. Reserve skillet for later use.
Add beans, carrots, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, chili powder, salt, cilantro, and water to the bowl of onions. Use a large spoon or your hands to mash it all together. If the mixture is too dry to hold together, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Using your hands, form the bean mixture into patties, to match the size of your slider buns. In the reserved nonstick skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat, and pan-fry patties about 3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and crisp. Add more oil to the skillet as needed. Drain patties on paper towels.
Next on the menu: Sea Salt and Vinegar Pub Fries! They were so delicious and easy to make! Slice your potatoes in 1/4 inch strips, coat them in olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake in the oven on 400 for 40+ minutes, until brown and crispy. When they come out of the oven, spray with British malt vinegar.
I found this malt vinegar on the aisle with the other vinegars, but I had to look long and hard for it. There was only one bottle left! I'm so glad I found it. It has a much milder taste than white or apple cider vinegar. It's really good. If you like salt and vinegar chips, you will love these fries!
I hope you enjoy this vegan version of pub food! You can really make a big difference in your health and the environment by eating at least one vegan meal a week.
I will be eating the leftovers for my lunch tomorrow!

In 2008, Snoop Dogg learned of his son with former high school lover, Laurie Holmond, and he accepted the boy – Julian Broadus – after paternity was established,Fameolous reports.
"When I told Calvin I was pregnant, he said, 'I don't know how I'm going to tell Shante," Holmond told Star. "But when Julian was born, Calvin was right there, and he took responsibility like a man." Holmond claimed she took the rapper to court, established paternity and he agreed to take care of his son.
But in a recent interview with Fameolous, Julian reveals what a deadbeat dad his father has been, adding that he is no longer hurt but by the isolation. "I'm almost a grown man so my mind isn't as heavy as it used to [be]," Julian said of how he feels about the failed relationship. He also revealed that he loves poetry and intends to go into music like his father.
"I've always knew music was what my life was really about, but I pushed it away trying not to be like my father," he said. "But I got older and stopped pushing it away and I've never felt better or more passionate about something".
Read his conversation with Fameoulous:

Thanks to Aunt Magen, Uncle Dave, Braxton, Amelia, Evan, Nana, and Papa for a great Christmas visit!
Thanks for the photo too, Magen! Not easy to get almost everyone in one picture, and with the FoxCycle too!
Great to see Franklin spend some time with his cousins:
And adorable, if a little poignant that even after we've been back almost a week he still asks about going back to "Aunt Magen's house" :)
Delicious food too!
Here we see sweet potatoes on their way to being roasted with coconut milk, cilantro, and my favorite condiment, Sriracha:
So yummy! Recipe here.
And an excellent pork roast:
Plus a mini Christmas concert thanks to Braxton!
What you can't see in this photo, of course, is an enthusiastic Franklin, clapping and saying "And again, Jingle Bells!"
A few more photos, by the way, in a set on Flickr.
At first he didn't like the cold (and don't even ask about trying to go sledding during nap time), but eventually Franklin seemed to enjoy the snow:
Perfect weather for hot cocoa:
Not a bad spot to stop for a sip either!
We also visited Great Aunt Dorothy, which was good, though I forgot to take any pictures there.
Had to take this one on the way though: maybe, unlike us, you heard about all the Dominick's grocery stores (no relation) being permanently closed around Chicago. So weird being inside one on its last day:
Okay, thanks everyone for the fun!
And to all a good night!

Good morning, and welcome to UDI's MDS Monday Challenge. This week our challenge was to create a Valentine project. I've already made all my Valentine cards, and I wanted to try something different. I needed a new subject, say hello to Chelsea. This is my BFF Janet's 5-month old daughter Chelsea Grace. I asked Janet if she had a recent picture of Chelsea. And Janet took the time to play dress-up with her daughter and take Chelsea's picture in her Valentine outfit – perfect for me! (Thanks Janet !!!)
Now about my project: I saw this quote and picture idea somewhere on the internet and I thought it'd be perfect for a little girl's picture. First, I sized my picture just larger than 5x7. Then I added some swirl stamps from Baroque Motifs and Elements of Style. Next, I started working on the quote. It's just a bunch of text blocks arranged to fit the picture. Finally, I added a couple Vintage Overlays to soften the edges of the photo. And that's it. The picture's ready to print and put in a 5x7 frame.
In case the image is hard to read, the quote says, "For Beautiful eyes, look for the GOOD in others; for Beautiful lips, speak only words of KINDNESS; and for Poise, walk with the knowledge that you are NEVER ALONE. -- Audrey Hepburn."
Now it's time to check out the other inspiring creations from the Design Team members at Utah Diva's International. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!

Post 1 – The basics – Eclipse vs. Idea
Having worked with Idea (by Intellij) for a long long time I have to admit that I'm a big fan. They've managed to conjure up every single useful feature you could ask for, and excluding v. 7 & 8 their IDE is very well behaved, works fast and responsive even in big projects (the one I worked on had over 1m lines of code).
However, their personal license costs 200$, and community version has some limitations (I've looked at v.11) especially with running external servers and with debugging JSP's, which made Eclipse a better choice for me at this stage (early startup stages, no extra money to spend).
I was a bit fearful of using Eclipse and the IDE did not feel intuitive at first, but having played around with it for the past couple of months now I know what to expect and can say that, while not as comfortable as Idea, it is still a valid choice.
Bottom line: choose Eclipse if you can't afford the 200$, you'll get used to it eventually and won't miss Idea's extra features that much (aside for ALT-F7, the ever so useful find-usages, which has only a slower alternative in Eclipse called Show-Hierarchy)

"That of God" — A reprise of past posts
March 15, 2017 § 1 Comment
In 2015, I published a few posts on the phrase that of God in every person, and I took a look at those posts, now that I find myself returning to the subject.
Here's a link to an aggregation of all the posts with the category "that of God", for readers who are interested in what I wrote back then. The posts appear in reverse chronological order, so scroll to the bottom to read them in the order I wrote them. Several reiterate (or more accurately, "pro"-iterate, since they came first) the points I covered in my post quoting Lewis Benson. These posts also have a very lively conversation in the comments.
I want to bring readers' attention to one post in particular: "That of God"—What Next? I am still very interested in the question, what next? So, since we're not turning this train around; since liberal Friends DO believe in that of God in everyone, never mind the historical amnesia involved, the sloppy theology, and the distortion of our tradition, how do we justify and explain this belief? Where's the evidence for this continuing revelation? The link directly above explores these questions in a little depth.

According to the IELTS Handbook, Task 1 is assessed on:
- Task achievement
- Coherence and Cohesion
- Lexical Resource
- Grammatical Range and Accuracy
In plain terms:
- Task Achievement: Did you answer the question? Did you understand what the graph shows? Did you present the information shown in the graph/chart/diagram accurately and does your essay reflect that you fully understood the information?
- Coherence refers to the linking of ideas in a logical sequence or order. Cohesion refers to the organization of sentences and ideas in your essay working together as a whole within their paragraphs. They hold together by cohesive devices (transitional words and expressions – see my post on cohesive devices). This makes it very easy for the reader to follow your presentation of information in the essay. They don't get lost or confused. Did you write in clear paragraphs that are organized around central ideas? (see sample IELTS Task 1 essay with paragraph organization) It's like listening to a story that's smooth and easy to follow.
- Lexical Resource – This means vocabulary. They look at the topical vocabulary that you use – words that are specific to the topic of the Task, i.e. if the chart shows economic growth, you would try to use words appropriate words that describe business, finance and economics. They are assessing the variety and appropriate usage.
- Grammatical Range and Accuracy – This refers to accuracy of sentence structure and variety of structures. The more variety of sentence structures that are appropriately used and work well together, the higher your mark will be.
Here is the public version of the Writing Band Descriptors from ielts.org.
I will go into more detail about each of these criteria in later posts. Stay tuned!

Rivers of Re:Quest Model Management
Can you believe I am writing yet ANOTHER blog? I know, I know. But I do have one thing to say. Do NOT get used to it. It is a paranormal activity that should be passing very soon, but enjoy the ride now while you can. Now on to the blog.
A lot of us want to be famous. A lot of us want to be rich. A lot of us want to be recognized for our talents, looks and gifts and a lot of us want it NOW. I remember when I first picked up my camera and realized this is what I wanted to do, I was ready to grace the covers of Vogue and wanted to see my images on billboards that littered the Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris, France. I would look at my images and imagine to myself, "yes, these images are JUST as good as Ritts, Weber and Meisel!" (God was I a lofty one!) But as I matured in my craft and artistry, I looked back on those images, and they compared to Bruce Weber like a child's coloring book rendition compared to a Picasso.
But I digress. Right now with more than 5 years in the professional game, I am JUST starting to make some noise. I am JUST starting to see the fruits of my labor and I am JUST starting to make a name for myself. It took five years. FIVE LONG YEARS and even though I have influential art buyers looking at my work and making major decisions based on the images I place before them, I am STILL a ways off from shooting Kate Moss for the cover of Vogue or Jon Kortajarena for a billboard for Tom Ford and you know why? It has nothing to do with talent, skill set or know how. It just isn't my time yet, hence the title of this blog.
Show business is a tricky industry (yes, fashion photography falls under show business). The race is paced differently for each and every individual. Just because you're a vocalist that sounds like Mariah Carey with the looks of Eva Mendez and the talent of Missy Elliott doesn't mean that you should pop on the scene the moment you laid a vocal track. It doesn't work that way.
The same holds true for models. Just because you've done one test shoot, got signed to an agency, you think you're ready for the big times. It doesn't happen like that. If it did, everyone would be a supermodel and there would be nothing "special" about you and since you didn't put any sweat equity into your career, you won't appreciate the rewards.
The reason for this blog was recently I had a couple of conversations with a couple of models. Model A at the moment appears to be on a meteoric rise. His face is getting known, he is getting snatched up by agencies from coast to coast. He is making a little bit of noise, HOWEVER, he isn't a superstar yet. He hasn't done any major work, and he hasn't walked his first fashion show. Could he be an international star? Maybe. Only time will tell. He hasn't paid his "karmic" dues yet, and the only thing he suffers from now is the agony when he gets dropped from a job. Sometimes I am glad he gets dropped. It humbles him a little bit and it tells him something. It is not his time yet.
But Model B has a completely different story. Beautiful man, uprooted his life and made his way to a metropolitan city from a small town in the South. He thought he was going to step off the plane, walk into a modeling agency and then step onto the billboard with the ranks of Tyson Beckford. Never mind that he was new face in a new city. Never mind that he didn't have a secure place to live or a steady income. Never mind that his book needed to be worked on and built so he can compete with the likes of Model A or better. He just thought that he was going to come take the world by storm and why hasn't it happened? I can tell you why. It is not his time yet.
I wrote a blog called "It Takes A Success Team to Build A Successful Model" (http://dallasjlogan.blogspot.com/2010/09/it-takes-successful-team-to-build.html). The reason for the blog was, by the time you've seen these models (or actors, or singers, or writers, or photographers or, etc. etc. etc.) reach the level of fame that they have achieved, there is a lot of behind the scenes negotiations that are taking place. You don't just take a photograph and appear on a billboard. There are castings, meetings, focus groups, lawyers negotiations, agents negotiations, manager negotiations, photographer selections, the list is endless. There are late night phone calls, clandestine meetings, sometime even arguments and strong discussions of persuasions, because every model is not for every body. Just because I took a beautiful photograph of you doesn't mean that the powers that be are going to think you are beautiful, too (please read "Who the Fuck are You?" http://dallasjlogan.blogspot.com/2010/03/who-fuck-are-you.html).
Patience, faith and loyalty are a far more paramount equity in this business than a beautiful face, abs and a great smile. It takes time to rise up the industry ladder. It takes times to develop those relationships in order to make the good things happen. And while you are sitting there wondering why it appears that Model A is getting all the play, and you're not, I can answer it in one simple sentence. It is not your time… yet.
Think about it.

Etsy is making me hungry. I am happy that so many people are all about the baked goods these days! There is so much great stuff to buy, and all my favorites are calorie free too! These two beautiful blue linocut prints above are from the new adventures of betty turbo. I love that they are printed on old recipe pages. This is where it all went nuts! too many, too cute, too pretty! Clockwise from top left felted mini muffin from detailsstore, Plush Pink Frosted Cupcake from cherylasmith, Vintage chenille, lavender filled cupcake pin cushion from crazycakes, and delightful decorated French gateaux tags from Bluebirdlane.
Last but not least this yummy coconut Cupcakes mixed media plaque from jennysbakeshop. All the works in Jenny's shop are lovely. I think my sister will have her kitchen done out with the complete range when she buy's a place! If you love the coconut then you'll love the blog and the lady she's so cool!

On a recent chilly afternoon (38 degrees) teacher Michael Long's sixth grade class performed community service while doing a fall landscape clean-up of the entire front of North Rockford Middle School. With rakes, shovels, and pitch forks in hand, the kids appeared to be having a good time as any time away from class work is a good thing, right kids?! Judging from their attire, these kids exhibited great health and weren't even phased by the unseasonably cool weather. (Notice the young lad kneeling in the front row wearing only a t-shirt and a pair of shorts.)

London Themed 3D Stickers Purchase
I bought London theme stickers from this Etsy store a while ago. (It says sorry it's sold but I'm not sorry because it was me. :) I searched for 3D stickers and found them. Stickers are great if you're into the new Let's Send More Snail Mail phase (which I am). They make nice decorations on letters and in journals. Between stickers and coloring books, I think people will realize children get all the good things. When will they start a playground for adults? I want to play on the slides without getting weird looks.
The stickers came wrapped in red tissue paper, and the envelope was quite pretty as well. It made opening the package fun too, instead of just the item.

I want to have a gin and tonic and watch Captain Fantastic. Can't find any takers except Rocket-Locket but he's working and three hours out from getting home. I want to lie in the sun and not die from it, withering into dust under a gaze so intense it cooks you from the inside out and I want to call the shots.
All of them.
I want them to be lethal.
I want the devil to understand that the days of his quiet coercion are over. I wasn't made aware that these last couple of years I wasn't even his primary victim anymore in his own special brand of threats and promises, which are frightening and too believable for comfort, for easy dismissal. I didn't think he would stoop that low, and I didn't think Lochlan would remain quiet, failing to say a word when all this time he's been allowing himself to be crushed under the weight of Caleb's efforts to find a way to destroy us, any way he can. Loch wasn't going to be a rat but he's not going to be a martyr either. Not anymore.
While it was a soul-crushing revelation, thankfully I don't have a soul so it's also liberating. Game-changing. A relief for Lochlan now, a lesser burden spread amongst the rest of us. For that I am grateful. I'm also so much tougher than I look after all and for that I'm oddly thrilled about that. Out of the two of us I turned out to be the strong one? Yes, me, the littlest one who stood there and cried when she dropped her ice cream in the mud because it was dinner and it cost our last two dollars for those ice creams and Lochlan gave me his, saying he wasn't hungry, but his growling stomach kept me up all night that night and the next day I worked double time conning hearts (and stealing wallets) until we had enough money for food for a week. Then I could sleep. Then, so could he.
Now I'm going to make my drink and snooze in the shade while I wait for him to finish up, reaping the spoils of my war with this hollow materialistic victory of decadence. At least that's what Caleb calls it. I call it bullshit because I didn't ask for this, and Lochlan doesn't deserve to be punished for it. All the pools and expensive tile floors and big electric gates in the world can't make up for what the devil has done to us.
Fuck it all anyways. Claus leaves today. He said it's not going to happen until I make changes and find boundaries. He said what we've done is striking, touching and incredible nonetheless and if I'm going to lose my mind this will be the safest place in which to do it. He said Lochlan's tougher than I give him credit for, which I hope against hope is true in the end, because I want him to be, I don't want him to be hurt by Caleb any more, I don't want him to be second best and I don't want him to be hungry. I believe he's going to be the hero of this story and I don't believe it's over yet.

Hiking in the Swiss Alps is incomparable. There are innumerable well-marked trails (by yellow signs, yellow diamonds, and red and white stripes), all of which offer stunning views. You will generally pass some quaint stone or wood chalets that are over 100 years old and part of your hike will most likely be accompanied by the sound of cowbells. Depending on your elevation, you will pass vineyards, deciduous trees, pine trees, mountain meadows, and moonscapes. The hikes are easy to get to via public transportation, and you can often find a way to get partway down or up a mountain by cable car or bus. As A. and I like to hike up but not down, we seek out the places where we can go down by some form of transport other than walking.
Most of my prior hiking experience was in California. The largest mountain range there, the Sierra-Nevadas, is about as different from the Alps as you can get. The Sierras are more rounded rather than peaked and have wide foothills leading up from the central valley. When you are in the valley you cannot see the tops of the mountains and vice versa. I think this is one of the reasons why the Alps are so striking to me: in the Rhone valley where I have been hiking recently (the Swiss canton of Valais), you can reach a peak 1500 meters or more above the valley floor and see all the way down to the valley, which is truly spectacular (and especially amazing when you just hiked up from the valley!).
Another difference that struck me on my hike today is that the Alps are really quite densely inhabitated compared to the Sierras. In the Sierras, even if you are near a campground, you can go on hikes that take you to areas in which you at least *feel* like you are in the middle of nowhere (granted, if you are near a drive-in campground, you are not really in the middle of nowhere. There are large wilderness areas in the Sierras that are truly accessible only by hiking, but unfortunately I cannot say that I have been to any of these). In the Alps, the trails criss-cross roads and ski slopes and pass by cabins. When you reach a peak, you will often find that there is a way to drive up to the peak (perhaps not publically accessible, but at least for maintenance) or a cable car (which is, of course, quite convenient). There are "mountain huts" throughout the high Alps where multi-day hikers can spend the night; these huts often have potable running water and serve hot meals. Some of this is quite convenient, and the fact the Alps are more populated (and this is Switzerland) means that it is easy to get to remote places by public transporation. However, I do miss that sense of being away from all human creations, of it being just me and nature.
A few more notes/observations about hiking in general:
- I have long, straight hair, and I have discovered that the best thing to do with my hair when hiking is braid it in two pigtails. This works much better than a single ponytail or braid down the back, as that results in my hair getting matted at the base of my neck.
- I did not have recent or extensive hiking experience prior to coming to Switzerland, and thus I do not really have the appropriate clothing. I do have excellent hiking boots and hiking socks, but the rest of my clothing has consisted of cotton underwear, cotton tee-shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, and an old windbreaker, none of which is ideal for sweaty uphill hikes. I am eager to obtain better hiking clothes, but I don't think Switzerland is the place to get them, since everything is rather expensive here.
- After hiking either one or two days every weekend for the past several weeks, I have definitely increased my stamina and strength. My calf muscles speak for themselves 🙂 Now I just have to keep it up so I don't lose what I've gained.

When the extermist right wing Attorney-general intentionally subverts the will of citizens in Oregon (because it goes against his own religious beliefs), those same people and their equivalent, left wing extremist liberals go silent (thread entitled 'Where is Dr Kevorkian'). Amazing how those far from the center are really only intestested in rights and protection from government when they feel threatened - others be damned.
Those truly interested more in America than in their own little worlds would be howling at the illegal imprisionment of 5,000 Arabs and at Ashcroft's decrees. But since Ashcroft represents their own political views, the silence really indicates their true interests and political beliefs.

If you ask me, being held in jail for commiting no crime IS being mistreated. As for being outraged, I personally haven't really heard of this before. I would certainly be against it if it were true.
Whit Tuesday Nov 27 06:57 PM
Right now we can't do much. Our goverment rep's completely ignored the outcry against the 'Anti-terrorism bill' and there was one wether you heard it or not. Just remeber this next election. That's when you can do something.

MOST of thoses have committed a crime, but not convicted - they commited immigration crimes - aka they are in the country illegally - now I won't say if immigration laws are right/wrong, but they have commited a crime as the law stands. That's why they are called "Illegal Aliens"

I can appreciate why this is being done, but also understand that the 'powers that be' - Ashcroft - have no appreciation just of the damage that is being created. Ahh but this right wing extremist religious conservative knows these people can't and won't vote against him.
This is a classic case of government denying rights to a minority - nothing new about that. But a public who knows it is happening and says nothing. It is the silence I find disturbing.
BTW, since I first posted this, I understand many in Congress also started asking these same questions that most Americans are not (but that the press is asking). If these 1000 are guilty of crimes, then why are they not at least arraigned of those crimes. I can't remember the exact law, but I though it was illegal to be held more than 48 hours without a court hearing. What happened to that law?
As for immigration violations - the Immigration procedure should be put on trial. I once reviewed forms required to renew a Visa. The nouns throughout a single page of instructions changed so often that those instructions were unreadable. Immigrants pay lawyers $hundreds just to fill out basic application forms because those forms are so confusing.
Imagine having to renew a Visa, but the application asked for your formal name, proper name, name on a proof of purchase, and your ordinary name - all meant to ask for the same name on the passport. And if your application has just one error, then it will be held separate until someone has time to let you know that it has a problem. Where is this processed? In some office way up in upper NY state near the VT border. In the meantime, you have now overstayed your Visa and are subject to arrest. If you don't have big bucks for a lawyer to fill out an application form, then you become a criminal.
I tried to get further information on the form from the web site, but they say to read the paper instructiions that come with the form. Ironic since most other forms are on the internet with additional information. Why is this form so complicated? These people don't vote - but the immigration lawyers do.

I'm definitely not a fan of Ashcroft, though I did vote for Bush. Just wish his idea of an Attorney General was a bit better. My dad feels differently. I hope I don't have to tell him "I told you so" in 3 years.

These cheekbones with a $6 highlighter?! Only @jOYCEBONELLi could do it!!! Get it on my app! https://t.co/sJGRyZqCGz pic.twitter.com/gx8kfI36J0
Aside from her existence TV stardom, new moving weight detriment and endearing personality, it's protected to contend that Khloé Kardashian is also famous for her ideally sculpted cheekbones and accurate highlighting. A new post on Khloé's website might have paved a approach for glam cheekbones around a country—for reduction than $10. The Kardashian finally suggested how her makeup artist, Joyce Bonelli, achieved her ideal beauty demeanour for her coming on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon in Jan (where she promoted her afterwards new book Strong Looks Better Naked) that enclosed a $6 highlighter to emanate her "sharp" cheekbones.

"I practical a Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked ($6) as a highlighter to her cheekbones, and a bronzer to her jawline and around a hairline," says Bonelli, explaining that we should select a highlighter a shade lighter than a healthy skin tone, and select a bronzer a shade deeper. And with this highlighter accessible in 3 opposite shades, it's protected to contend it's shortly to be a cult classic.

I've had various unsuccessful attempts at keeping houseplants alive over the last couple years. I usually buy them b/c they look cool and then pray like MAD they'll be able to fight my inconsistent, indoor-watering patterns.
The only plant I've managed to not-kill is my spider plant. I got it from an old friend many years ago. Wikipedia notes it is very easy to propogate and I agree wholeheartedly. I've spawned many little spider plants from what I've always called 'my lil spiderettes', although I noticed the wiki calls them 'plantlets'. It must be spiderette season now, b/c my spider plants are COVERED with little ones. Perhaps I'll plant some babies for my friends!
Does anyone know of any pills you can take to grow GREEN THUMBS?!

|The U.F.O.s have invaded!
Country Living
Link to Rhubarb Coffee Cake over on food.com
Swiss Chard Pasta
150gm (about 1/4 lb) pancetta, diced
5-6 shallots, halved and sliced
1 bunch swiss chard, thick stems removed and sliced, and greens chopped coarsely
1 jalapeno, seeded and sliced thinly
5 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
350 gm package of fresh pasta (about .75 lb-ish)
olive oil, if needed
Have a pot of hot water ready to cook pasta.
Saute pancetta in a large non-stick pan until crispy and some fat has rendered. Remove pancetta and some of the fat and set aside, leaving about 1 tbs. fat in the pan. Add the shallots and sliced chard stems to the pan, and saute until well softened, adding extra pancetta fat or olive oil as necessary. Add jalapeno and saute until slightly soft. Add garlic and saute until fragrant and softened. Add chopped chard and reserved pancetta. Put pasta on to cook. Saute chard until wilted and reduced and not much water is left in the pan. Keep chard mixture warm while pasta cooks. When pasta is cooked, drain, and add chard mixture to the pot. Stir well (this is a bit challenging), and place in a serving dish.
Serves about 2-4, depending on hunger.

Consider the shimmer under mango trees,
the crow on the roof, and the way
wind ruffles its feathers and makes
it gargle a fainter caw that blows
round the seasons. Consider yourself
and how it came to be the grayish
Sunday afternoon with its drizzling promises
and unfinished work – the life that is spent
as we squint to see and fling ourselves
at the future – at nothingness. Consider
the golden boughs and sapphire mines
in your casket of gem and sand,
the sandstone sculptures, the vultures
picking our meadows clean. Consider
the beads sliding down on cold windows
and tenderness floating in a quiet room:
that certain tilt of the head, the turn of mind –
the lovely face that does not let me sleep.

But the glue i use is breaking.
The shards too small for faking. Sometimes i wonder why be me, because its all ill ever be.
My hands are shaking,
body aching.
And if i could be so bold,
maybe you just prefer me cold.
Guess its just a mess from here.
Id ask, but fear what id hear.
Because, maybe you complete me.
You could be loving me so sweetly.
But instead you hide.
So i keep what i feel inside.
And just keep rolling like my tears -
just thought there was something special here.

There are times when adults see certain behavior in children that is puzzling. If we follow the premise that behavior is learned, then it goes without saying that some behavior is taught and others behavior is learned by observation. By observation, it is meant that learners view models and act in similar or exact ways. Additionally, how you as an adult respond to a child's behavior will play a part in how they behave in the future. Keeping adult behavior in mind can go a long way in understanding and shaping the behavior of children.
With this in mind, whether you are a parent or professional, if you are an adult, children will learn how to behave by observing how you behave. We are not merely talking about "role-models" that children see in their favorite actors or sports figures, we are talking about modeling in general. Many times, simply saying how certain behavior should occur is not enough -- we need to play the part as well.
Let's take, for instance, vocal protest. A child is not born saying "No" and refusing to comply. They may see this behavior modeled by another peer, but they may also have learned it by observing adults. Maybe, a spouse asks their significant other to take out the garbage, and the significant other says "I'll do it later," and it never gets done. For children observing this, they may have just learned one strategy for getting out of non-preferred activities.
Another consideration for your behavior is how you consequate a child's behavior. Under the behavior analytic model, we are far more concerned with what follows (the consequence) a particular behavior, rather than what comes before (the antecedent). There is an entire science (Applied Behavior Analysis) devoted to studying this Response-Consequence connection that is far beyond the scope of this post, but it is important to delve into topically.
For the same example of vocal protest illustrated above, if a child protests and gets out of the activity, the probability of them complying in the future is decreased. This goes almost without saying; however, if you become frustrated, or start nagging and pestering, you may have inadvertently shaped up escape behavior AND added an additional attention component (the nagging).
The important thing to keep in mind with attention is that there are different types of attention. Some children, for whatever reason, may prefer negative attention because they know that what follows (the consequence) is avoiding the task at hand. Some children would rather spend 40 minutes tantruming and being yelled at than one minute complying. If you remain calm and follow-through you will increase future success. Even if the episode has escalated into a tantrum, following through on even a small detail as it relates to the initial demand may increase future success for completion of the larger goal.
There is also a consideration for how adults behave even with children they do not know. If a child is flopping and screaming in the grocery store, and you are staring at the child and parent/caregiver, you have just become an audience member to that situation. Judgments aside, providing an audience for an acting out child may increase the intensity of their tantrum. Think of how you behave when you are being watched. If you are at work, and are doing something correct or efficiently, there may have been an instance where you increased your intensity to be noticed when your supervisor walks by. Examples like this are pertinent to compare and contrast adult and child behavior because they are similar in that there is a motivation component, only the observable behavior is different (tantruming vs. working).
A lot of how a child behaves is going to depend on the model you provide and your reactions in situations. If you can make activities fun and worthwhile, remain patient, and always remember to think about how your actions will affect a child's behavior, you are already one step in the right direction for teaching appropriate behavior and squashing the inappropriate.
Lastly, and this may take some reminding, but you are the adult. Remembering to act like an adult, even in difficult, uncomfortable, or frustrating scenarios will have an impact on a child's behavior. And this remains true whether or not you even know the child.

Pump up QEV gun. (Homemade high pressure pump)
Gday everyone,
This is my new proof-of-concept gun. It's a simple throw together. The pump I'm extremely happy with and the performance is just awesome.
Just to give an idea of the pump, the barrel is a meter long so it takes no time at all to get very high pressure. I plan to do a final copy tomorrow and take down the chamber even further.
Thanks guys!
Yeah that will come with tomorrow's final production. I'm glad I used aluminum over copper. It's just so ridged. It doesn't bend what so ever. Perfect application I think.
I'm thinking of making high pressure pumps to sell.
But seriously, nice attempt at a self contained launcher system, looking forward to seeing it finished
I have to ask, what is going on with that picture that Jack linked? I just dont get it...
I like to play blackjack. I'm not addicted to gambling, I'm addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.
I'm guessing he's holding the pump element between his thighs in order to take a photo of the end - either that or he has a substantial RoboCockTM
Nice job with a self contained launcher! Any ideas what pressures you can get out of the pump. A stand so you can force it against the ground while pumping would help
Jack you dirty minded person . That photo was so hard to take, it was the best one. In the other pics, I was naked trying to hold it with my old fella so count yourself lucky (am I kidding or not? )
with the length of it and the diameter, 400-500 doesn't at all seem out of the question.
With the qev and that length of barrel, I should see some nice results (hopefully)

RomCon, here in Denver kicks off officially tomorrow but tonight a group of us authors were busy stuffing goody bags for the Pictionary game we'll be hosting tomorrow morning. We had bulls, candy, notebooks, magnets, bottle openers, book marks, more candy, ink pens and lots more goodies to go into our bags!
Things were getting serious between me and Tiffany Snow . I'm envious of her hair, her shoes and her lovely smile. But we were talking about books...that's the general topic of a lot of conversations here.
Five of us authors who were enjoying talking plots, characters, publishers at a lovely informal author's social and yes, there was a great spread of food behind us...that's why we're all smiling!
And here's the bags that everyone gets when they register for RomCon this year! Aren't they gorgeous!

You need to prepare,
♦ 1 bar of butter ( please choose a good plain butter for baking)
♦ 2 Cups of Brown sugar ( other people uses 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar. But for me i always use 2 cups of brown sugar It intensifies the flavor and adds more color to your cookies: and please packed them when measuring)
♦ 2 large eggs
♦ 1 TSP of vanilla
♦ 2 Cups all purpose flour
♦ 1 TSP Baking powder
♦ 1 TSP Baking soda
♦ 1 TSP Salt
♦ 2 Cups old fashioned oats ( please buy Quick cooking)
♦ 1 bar of bittersweet chocolate
First you need to provide 1 large mixing bowl, Cream the butter using a wooden spoon when the butter is mashed up or soft that's enough. (I used to say to mom when the butters ready " MA!!! the butter is already mashed up!!!" )
Next, add the sugar and continue creaming them until you get a brown soft mixture. Beat in the eggs and add the vanilla. I use a handheld mixer for an easier handle of the mixture ( I can't stand on manual mixing my hand gets hurt too :P)
Then add the flour slowly ( you don't want to be floured in the face when the mixer starts to mix don't you? ) allow the flour to incorporate with the wet mixture, add the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then add all the oats.
Place your cookie mixture in the refrigerator not in the freezer for about 25-30 minutes enough to have a thick creamed mixture for easy handling. 25-30 minutes is maybe enough for cleaning your messed working area.
Prepare baking sheets and drop rounded tablespoonfuls two in. apart unto your baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15-25 minutes chunky and brown enough.
Cool on wire racks.
It makes about 45-60 pcs ( depending on how small or large you make them)
Melt the bittersweet chocolate on a double broiler ( you could use any kind of chocolate the sweet one, semisweet, white chocolate etc.)
Just lower down your heat enough to melt the chocolate and not to burn them of anything.
Place your melted chocolate in a piping bag and use the tip with the smallest hole.
Enjoy drizzling the cookie with the melted chocolate on your own perceptions.
Allow the chocolate drizzle to cool.

After excerpting from other people's blogs and at the same time writing down my own thoughts on a notepad - namely "Memorandum at Office" - for almost a year also, I decide to paste some of them onto this Econ-Biz Blog, which mainly contains the recent stories or events in economics and business world.
Since more and more eminent scholars have their own blogs, e.g. Gary Becker and Richard Posner, Greg Mankiw, Bradford DeLong, David Friedman, James Hamilton etc., to express their ideas, share their experiences, even have their online debates, we can easiy get the knowledge of what they care and how they think. From this point of view, the world does become flat.
Although lots of merits exist, would the bloggers' "marginal utility" in relate to this trend diminish?

this and that
Yes, there are still a few blossoms in the garden! Dahlias, calendula and fennel mostly - the sunflowers were offering lots of autumn color but finally toppled over from the rain and wind. I've been steadily seeing the garden through the last of the season, harvesting beets, cabbage, carrots, zucchini (will they ever stop?), kale, chard, green beans and broccoli. I just put the onions and winter squash into storage today. Then there's this little fellow...
I know it might be hard to tell since it's such a wee little thing, but this is a baby chanterelle and you will never guess where it's growing... right smack in the middle of my yard! I know, it's almost too crazy to believe, but it's true. And, it's not alone. The other morning I was walking across the grass and almost tripped over them, but if you've ever seen a golden chanterelle you will know what I mean about their distinct & unmistakable color. As I've mentioned before (here and here) I love wandering around the forest looking for wild mushrooms, so to find them growing right in my own yard seems almost too easy! When I dragged my guy out there in a state of disbelief, he said, "What's next, the salmon will start jumping out of the water and landing in our yard?!" "Yes," I said, "and the berries will pick themselves."
It is my understanding that most wild mushrooms are difficult or impossible to cultivate - thus their high market value. I have read many times though, that when you're out hunting mushrooms, to carry them in a basket that has an open weave on the bottom. The thought is that as you're walking around the forest, spores from the mushrooms in your basket will fall to the ground and hopefully propagate more. I can't say if that really works or not, but whenever I bring home chanterelles, I take any little crumbly tidbits and sprinkle them around the mossy edges of my yard. Did it work? If so, I'm one lucky duck. Actually, I'm a lucky duck however it is that they have arrived in my yard!
Lastly, a book I must recommend, The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. Follow the link to read a description of the story if you like. I will simply say that this was the first book I'd read in a long while that swept me in so far that I didn't want to leave. I had to force myself not to read it in one big gulp and then find myself wishing it wasn't over.
Okay then, I think I've covered the this and the that. Anyone have any book recommendations for me?
p.s. Here is another book I'd like to read.
2 comments:
Lucky duck indeed!! We talk about how awesome that would be to have chanterelles growing in our yard pretty often, and have tried every year to spread their spores in areas that seem like would be favorable to them. Who knows? You give me hope :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I'll cross my fingers for you! We're not touching the ones in our yard in hopes of them getting good and established.Delete

Walking my boys to school
The warm sun and blue sky
The colours in the neigbourhood
Lavender blossoming in the garden
A delicious chicken soup brought by a good friend
Soft white tissues
My soft warm scarf and crocheted hat
A cosy new futon to sleep on
A soothing camomile and spearmint tea
Heaters to take off the chilly edge
My littlest one to share my day with
....once I get started it's hard to stop......those little blessings are the ones that keep you going. It's amazing what a little walk in the garden can do for the body and the spirit. Now I think it's time for some crochet.

Carving Pumpkins
Song - "This Is Halloween" by Danny Elfman
With Halloween right around the corner, pumpkin carving was in order last night and what better way to enjoy the event but with good friends (Frank the Dummy was a hit), pumpkin beer, and scary halloween sounds blasting out of the stereo so loud at times, the neighbors must have wondered who was getting chopped up by the chainsaw. That or what kind of chainsaw and if they can borrow it...

Today's craft is a Floral box card I created as a thank you card for my neighbor who always keeps an eye on my home whenever I go away overnight. She is a gem and I wanted something special for her.
This one is from the Box Cards SVG Kit from svgcuts.com. Mary, from Svgcuts, has a wonderful assembly video that includes all the files from this kit. If you decide to make this card, I encourage you to view her video which can be found on Youtube here.
Box Cards SVG Kit from Svgcuts - Floral Box Card
Close To My Heart Ink - Outdoor Denim, Pacifica
Martha Stewart Pearls
Martha Stewart Flower punch
Assorted Bling
I imported all the svgs for the Floral Boxcard into Design Space. Everything imported in the correct size with no need to resize anything. But, it is always a good idea to double check the file sizes against the sizes listed in the PDF file included with all SVGCuts files just to be safe.
If you would like a score line rather than a perforated cut line, you will need to change the cut line to score for the files named 'green', and 'envelope'. Change the cut lines to score lines and attach.
I start by laying out the pieces and inking all the edges in Outdoor Denim.
Using the 'Framed' stampset, stamp the word 'Thanks' onto a scrap of white cardstock using Outdoor Denim. Stamp the frame using Pacifica centering it over the word. The clear stamping blocks make the placement very easy.
I cut out the image leaving a small white border, then inked the edges in Pacifica.
Adhere the panels and sentiment to the base while the base is still flat for ease.
Adhere the flowers to the inserts. I used a few extra flowers from a Martha Stewart flower punch in addition to those included in the file but you can also cut extra from the file if you want more and don't have a punch.
Place glue on the cardbase tab and glue to the inside of the box. Then adhere the inside back panel to cover the tab.
Place the flat insert at the front of the box lining up the insert to the top edge of the box and adhere.
Fold the first insert on the score lines and apply glue. I used a 'Z' fold to help reduce bulk when the card is folded flat.
Place the insert inside the card with one side of the 'Z' against the front of the box. Line up the other side and glue into place.
While the glue is still wet, fold the card making sure you can fold the card flat. Adjust if needed.
Add the second insert lining up one side of the 'Z' against the back of the box. Add bling as desired.
I hope you will try a box card from SVGCuts. They have a great assortment of files to choose from and they work very well with Design Space as well as Ecal and MTC software.
Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think!
Happy Crafting

Old Forest Good for Health
The New York Times published an article saying that spending time in parks and forests can boost your white blood cells and lower your blood pressure, among other benefits. The Japanese have long recognized this benefit and go "forest bathing". It's also the coolest place to walk these hot days, so go ahead and reconnect to the Old Forest.

Recorded in the middle of the New Zealand winter of 2005, these fresh new tracks are an exclusive to this 7" and are the result of a new line-up in the band and a further evolution in the sonic experiment that is Avotor.
More raw and organic than tracks previously released under Avotor, this 7" is a great change to the brooding listener-intense tracks of the past and is more direct in its approach.
Nothing But Surrender starts off with a slow build up of bass guitar and flows from gentle note bending into feedback chaos, stops to take a breather before crashing back into a driving bass line and head nodding groove. Glacier Weapon is even more stripped back on the noise front and begins from an uneasy drum pattern and off-kilter minor notes into straight-up 2-note guitar riffage.
Avotor's music has best been described akin to a post-industrial/nuclear soundtrack for a film by Cronenberg or Lynch mixed combined with giant post-scapes that at times ebbs and flows from being down right errie whilst at others brutally heavy. Neither ambient nor entirely abrasive, Avotor's unique sound(let's call it avobrasient) explores uncharted sonic territory with words like haunting, confrontational and atmospheric so often thrown around when describing the band.
Avotor was formed in mid-1998 (in Auckland, New Zealand where they still reside) combining environmental audio influences with modern music techniques. With help from a circle of additional musicians, Avotor began touring and released their debut album entitled LOOMING (currently out of print) on the electronic based Kog Transmissions label in late 1999.
They have contributed to numerous compilations, released a limited edition clear 8" vinyl single, have remixed acts such as Concord Dawn (released as a limited edition 7" white label vinyl single), have played with the likes of Makebelieve, Witch, Concord Dawn, and Jakob. Several tracks have been licensed to local New Zealand TV shows, and the track 'Freezeover' was used in the motion picture 'The Irrefutable Truth About Demons', which became the most successful New Zealand film since the acclaimed 'Once Were Warriors' until 2002.
In mid 2001 Avotor released ILLOOMING, an EP that would showcase alternative versions of their early tracks from their debut album. Numerous shows were played to support the release of these recordings until BILLION was let loose in November 2003 throughout New Zealand. 2004 and 2005 saw them play shows thorughout New Zealand, Latvia, Germany, Poland, Belgium, UK, and The Netherlands, along with some new members joining the alliance and recording new tunes for their recently released new 7" Nothing But Surrender/Glacier Weapon, and the new track Let Them Try on the compilation COALESCENCE alongside Jakob and No Funeral.
2006 has already proved to be a year where they've played their first shows in the USA as well as the beginning of the studio sessions that will make up their soon to be third album.
They use basic post-rock instrumental postures to create imaginary(although heavy ass) lives lived in the shadows. And they do a nice job of it. Wire magazine UK Feb 2006

Who doesn't love a piece of warm French bread with cheese or butter?
But a traditional French bread contains a high amount of gluten. The main ingredients of French bread are gluten-filled yeast and flour. So is there a way to enjoy this delicious bread without violating the food diet?
Fortunately, nowadays many shops that sell gluten-free products. Enjoying a portion of France at the plate. Because this bread really is very tasty.
But if you can't find it in a shop – I will publish french bread recipe soon.

Whenever you are reporting a bug always try to attach a screen shot, by using this method you can pinpoint the bug very easily, its a very good way to elaborate your bug that where the bug lies and highlight the particular area in the screen short where the bug lies and write the bug detail (steps which you follow to reproduce a bug) with that.
You should use different tools like Microsoft Paint or Cropper or any other of your choice to highlight and elaborate the particular bug area. Find some good tools here
1. In the description area just write something like
"Module Name --> Page Name --> Problem in Short --> Attachment notification",
For Example "Poll --> Create Poll --> Confirmation message is not shown --> Please view the attachment for clarification (or details)".
In this case, its easy to describe the bug for a tester and also there is some better understanding for the developer. He/she (the developer) can easily switch to the page where the bug lies in complex applications without wasting much time in finding out the particular bug area. See the example below,
Here there should be two separate bugs and screen shots, one for the "Cancel" button and the other for the "Reset" button.
3. In the comparison cases, screen shot method is very handy. For Example same drop down show different options on different pages, look and feel of different pages in the same application etc. By using this method you can elaborate your point in a very effective way without writing long details.

Financial Infidelity
Another interesting article on financial infidelity.
Another interesting article on financial infidelity.
Labels: news stories
Cheating is very complex and different from one marriage or relationship to the next. I am a surviving spouse of a husband who cheated. I had to dig deep inside myself and find out how I was going to improve and not focus too much on my husband. As a consequence he followed and we are happier today than ever. Sometimes a good marriage a partner has cheated as a cry for help. So much to deal with and so much pain unless cheating is okay for the couple then as I say there's no diagnosis if there's no problem. I just want all to know is take care of your health at that time of great stress.
I have read the article and I couldn't agree more. This is so true that a lot of spouses are having financial infidelity with their better halves and this is so unfair. Some wives are being left with their husbands with questionable debts.
Financial infidelity is a difficult subject to discuss. I would recommend attaining some financial relationship advice next time you and your partner are worried.
