The words; self-esteem and self-confidence are banded about quite a bit and there are related to other terms: self-efficacy and assertiveness.
Before you download a hypnosis or subliminal mp3, its best to get a handle on what each of these terms mean. Take some time to do a little research and a bit of soul searching first.
- To ensure that you find the self-help programme you?re truly looking for
- So that you can clearly appraise how the download is working for you
As you don?t have much of a clue what the subliminal messages are and a hypnotist often uses metaphorical NLP to imbed concepts, it can make this a little difficult to work out what your self-help download is driving for.
They are used interchangeably, but when it comes to self-improvement programming, from the companies who will find reviewed here, it makes an awful lot of difference.
Let?s look at each in turn.
Self Esteem refers to your appraisal of yourself. It?s how you feel you about yourself. If you have a low self-esteem, you are besieged by feelings of not being worthy of love, or worthy of good things. Your belief that good things won?t happen is driven because you don?t deserve good things ? you don?t deserve to achieve or be a successful person. ?You don?t feel like you?re worth much and may feel guilty when good things come your way. It?s an honest evaluation of yourself, and influences so much about how you interact with the world around you and what you actually will achieve in all areas of your life. Do you value yourself? It?s a feeling which is often linked to how well you got on in your childhood. As such it is very difficult to improve low self-esteem without some type of support or intervention of some kind.
Without knowing it you communicate your level of self-esteem quite openly.
Others use this as a very real measure of you ? as everyone knows that they are the best judge of themselves, you are the best judge of you, and if you have high self-esteem, others are more likely to go with your judgement, and regard you in more positive light than otherwise would be the case.
Of the three concepts we?re looking at here, this is deepest and will take the most effort to change permanently. Self-help mp3s can offer very powerful relief, even though this means the real change in your life is subtle.
elf Confidence
Self-confidence is different to self-esteem, but arises from it. If you have a high self-esteem, value yourself, believe you are worthy, and then it goes to reason that you would (or allow yourself to) behave in a confident manner. Confidence is related to a judgement of yourself in terms of how successful you are life. Confidence people have more positive body language, are more relaxed in social situations, and communicate that they judge themselves worthy (self-esteem).
Confidence is whether you back yourself in life, and it is far more behavioral and has to do with communication than self-esteem. It?s however a general ? self-efficacy is a comparison with a challenge. Self-esteem refers only to the value you put on yourself. It has nothing to do with what you do with it. So it?s possible to have a high self-confidence but a low self-esteem.
A confident person behaves differently and expects success to come through confident behaviour.
This is different from having good social skills or positive body language. A self-confident person is more positive and carries themselves well because of this inner-feeling. People respect confidence, and confidence is an?enormously?attractive quality in people.
Self-efficacy is a judgement based on a specific situation. Do you believe you will be successful or achieve in a specific task or reach a specific goal? Do you think you can do it, or not? This?has idea is detached from your judgement of your person (self-esteem) and how you behave (self-confidence). It draws upon a assessment based on your previous performance, either general or specific. For example: Can you jump this high?
Either you can or you can?t. It is an assessment of your evaluation of ability or skill set when applied. If you failed to jump 1m off the ground last time you tried, you may still a confident person, love yourself, take control of the situation, but still have a low self-efficacy ? you judge that it is likely you can?t do it. It therefore has nothing to do with how you feel about yourself (self-esteem), whether you are a confident person or not.
Assertiveness is something completely different. It refers to how ability to stand up for yourself, for what you believe in and bring your personal power to the situation. Someone with who is not assertive will allow others to ?walk all over them.? They will not seize the moment, fight back when attacked and make themselves heard. They often cannot think on their feet when challenged.
A confident person is not necessarily assertive. Hence the term: Quietly confident.
It?s not all about bluster and force, but it is of course possible to assert yourself strongly with little action or words.
If you?re suffering from a lack of assertiveness, life can be hard, especially in the work place or in new social circumstances. Someone who is not assertive, although they value themselves,? are capable of putting their own needs in front of others, will become anxious and put others needs in front of their own, even though they do not choose to do so.
If you suffer from a low self-esteem, you still can act very confidently (perhaps no one will know you secretly loath yourself and you think yourself as someone who is completely useless) or you will know that you have high ability and talents, but don?t like who you are. Whether you allow this to contribute to whether you believe you are valuable because of successful performance, will inform your level of self-esteem.
Someone with a high self-confidence can also believe they can achieve anything they put their mind to, (despite having a low self-esteem) but when asked whether they are likely to perform a specific task well, may disagree. You don?t need to have an unrealistic view of your ability to be confident.
Usually self-confidence and self-efficacy go together, but you generally are not looking for a misguided feeling that you can achieve any impossible task set before you. (This would come with its own set of problems, like exhaustion, stress or falling flat on your face.)
If you believe you suffer from a low self-esteem, there are products that can help you boost your assessment of yourself, opening your heart to a sense of worthiness and value. If you do think you?re a good person, worthy of love, but fail to translate this into your daily life, by perhaps not making the most of the opportunities you have, have poor body language, then it?s probably more about correcting your self-confidence.
Having a low self-esteem is linked to all manner of disease and medical condition.
A lack of?self-confidence can affect every single interaction you have with the outside world.
Both dramatically change how people will see you, whether they will like you, trust you or feel comfortable in your company. Without self-assertiveness, the world is a vampire and you will never know when to say ?No?.
The great news is that these all can be easily addressed through a myriad of different self-help techniques. So many people have reported dramatic results in only weeks and months. It?doesn?t?cost the earth to get started and your renewed sense of self filters down and around into every part of your life.

New Attack on Serbs in Croatia – 'Bothered by his Serbian Name'
Posted on February 22, 2016 by Grey Carter
The New Encyclopedia Britannica, Volume 27, Macropedia (Knowledge in Depth), edition 1986, page 467, entry: Fascism in the Balkans (1930's)
RADICAL FASCIST movements developed in some Balkan countries – MOST PROMINENTLY IN CROATIA,… they were OBSESSED by an extremist spirit of terroristic violence in a strange union with RELIGIOUS FANATICISM. As result of German victory the Croatian USTASHE, a party under the leadership of Ante Pavelic (1889-1959), turned Croatia into a state on the model of the MOST EXTREMIST NATIONAL Socialist Party formation, the SS, or Schutzstaffel,…The Ustashe persecuted and killed hundreds of thousands of Orthodox Serbs and Jews. Catholic monks and other priests are alledged to have taken an active part in this STRUGGLE FOR THE "PURITY" OF THE CROATIAN LAND…
After ressurection of the Ustashi state in 1991, such ideology had returned to the scene.
Young Croats are proud to sing: ,,Kill, slaughter, the Serbs shouldn't exist" under the symbol which took lives of million Serbs, Roma and Jews during WW II.
Last attack on Serbs because of their ethnicity happened two days ago, in Pakrac, when a group of Croats had attacked young Serbian man, because they found his Serbian name offensive to be heard.
Ten of these middle aged monsters were hiting and beating Jovan Matijević in Okucani while shouting: ,,Go away, bastard! This is not your Serbia"
Jovan Matijevic, victim of Croatian fanaticism and irrational hatred
As hundreds time before, EU comissioners, US sponsored NGO – they all remain silent.
Even though when official Croatia threatens to destroy Serbian WW II graveyards, belonging to the families whose beloved ones were murdered by Croats in some of the notorious death camps for Serbs, such as Jadovno complex – Jasenovac, Stara Gradiska, Pag.
Looks like they're ready for final re writting of the history. Just a reminder, Independent State of Croatia, 1941. – Order for Serbs and Jews to leave certain parts of Zagreb.

Just because i got accepted as one of the participants of 300 Doktor Jabar 2016 Program, does not necessarily mean everything has been set for me.
This writing will tell you all my steps in pursuing a higher degree, all of the preparations.
Before i continue, i'd like to warn you that everything written under this "To Another New Terra Incognita" chapter is written in English since i need to level up my exposure to the active use of English 😀 No hard feeling to those who is a big fans of our Bahasa (I am absolutely one of them!). Pfyuuhhh, IELTS is around the corner, so practice practice practice !
Had we completed our EAP Camp for a month, we will then have to take IELTS test by the end of this November. We'll see how much do we score for each band because our next step depends on this Ielts score.
So, whilst preparing myself for IELTS and everything ahead me, i think i need to make a record of this long journey ahead. Just in case i failed the process (NOoooo!), at least this chapter will help others who want to pursue a higher education degree: giving them an insight of how does it feel, what it takes, how to start one, what are the preparations sort of things to be a (candidates of ) Phd Candidate.
Here i would tell you my first things first, and owh do excuse my rotten english :-p
I would say language preparation first! English is one of the crucial preparation, either you want to continue your PhD degree in country or overseas, because lots of supporting reading materials are written in English. Besides English, you probably have to learn second language used in the destination country. Japanese, Deutsche, Chinese for instances. I have been in the Netherlands for a year and another month yet i rarely used Dutch while staying there because the Dutch are very common to English and bahasa as well. Nevertheless, i took Dutch course for several months in Jogja, and continued another Dutch course in Rotterdam. Knowing their native languages somehow helps your adjustment process once you are in a foreign country.
In contrast to my dutch learning experience, i did not take any Japanese course before i started my internship in Kyoto 3 years ago. As i once wrote on the chapter of "舞妓, A Journal of Dance Child" in this blog, on my very first day arriving in kyoto, i found difficulties because i didnt know how to speak japanese langauge! I was not allowed to proceed at the kansai airport immigration desk because my travel document was considered not valid. To make it worst, all of the officers there could not speak english, vice versa, i could not speak their language! :-p I did not know how to explain about my documents in japanese, and they did not know how to respond a panic girl who spoke English. The only sentence i remembered back then was "watashiwa nihongo ga wakarimasen" 😀
Now i found troubles accessing germany education search engine haha 😀 thanks to google translate anyhow :-p
What else then ? Well, sorting out the country-the university-the sponsor options. I think those three things are very related to each other. Therefore you have to do this sorting out process simultaneously.
I myself have not decide yet which country we are going to go. "We" here demands a series of discussions and some considerations. I put more stress on being considerate here as my goal is departing as a family to our new terra incognita, no longer being a solo traveler *aamiin*.
Talking about being considerate does not necessarily means your spouse only, but children and parents as well. My mama wants me to study in Australia instead of anywhere else because she thinks it is closer to Indonesia compare to any other countries. I could come home immediately just in case home is calling me back. She and papa could also throw me a visit since when i studied in the Netherlands they did not have any chance to travel far away to Europe.
For those who are married and having kids, you probably should consider whether this destination country provides international school for children, the health care system apply for foreign family, family visa requirements, whether this country allow your spouse to work or else, not to mention whether they will be happy living in that country or not.
It is important to discuss these things with your spouse before you make any decision. Get them involved because this PhD journey is not your solo journey, but theirs too! Though for some reason they probably could not go accompany you, but your study and your "absence" will somehow affect their life too! Someone might have to take your responsibilities while you are away for your higher degree or have to leave their comfort zone to the strange places just because they have to support you during your study.So, please be considerate.
To my surprise, though there is no marriage vow yet, my bae had himself prepared for this journey ahead. He surprised me once by asking "have you read this blog about husbands with the golden hearts?". I shrugged my head, asking for his further explanation. Then he told me about these gentlemen who sacrificed their careers and ignoring their potential achievements because they accompanied their wives studying abroad. Akkkk ! *tears*
Even though i keep spamming his email by sending him anything i read about study preparation and living abroad as a family, asking him to also learn Deutsche, asking him to be my proofreader, i forgot to listen to what he has in mind *sorry* Not once did i ask his perspective on this PhD plan. Or did i ask? Didnt I? Did I? *confused* I guess i was busy with my own thought, seeing all of these from my own perspective. I am really sorry for being so absence minded *cium tangan* Having a very supportive partner is a bless! I could not ask for more! It touched my heart hehe *blushing* *grateful*
But then i could not stop asking him questions like "Is it allright for you to take a 3-4 years leave? Do you mind working in the restaurant sort of things? Everyone at your office always seeks for your professional advice, your boss always asks you to accompany him on every meeting, are you really owkay to shift to works that you know ehmm..?", and he sometimes makes fun of my worry by saying "nah, no big deal if i had to clean public toilets" *nada suaranya dibikin super menderita gitu, kan makin mewek ngebayanginnya, ga tega huhu*
Nah, enough about us haha 😀 In short, i would say it is essential to ask your spouse' opinion before making any decision!
If you had listed some country destinations, you may continue searching more information on their education system and universities as well. I think every country has its own education search engine. Owh, this link might be useful for you http://ehef-indonesia.org/visitors/links/ It connects you to several study search engine all over the Europe continent. You can sort out study option from any universities. I have listed some universities in Germany which offer architecture and urban planning programs. Yet, they are all written in Germany hahaha 😀 Google translate is the obligatory website after all !
Next thing i do is: a little research by comparing list of the universities from each of search engine to list of universities supported by any particular sponsor. I had this list from Germany edu search engine http://www.hochschulkompass.de/en/doctoral-studies/, comparing to list in LPDP (one of my sponsor options), not all of the universities listed in hochschulkompass are listed in the LPDP list. I guess i will go continuing my little research to those universities which are covered by lpdp. See? it helps to narrowing down your search to the most suitable university and sponsor, and helps you to build a back up plan as well.
Apply this step to any of your listed country destination. Adding to this research thingy, i also interviewed some of my friends who currently pursuing their PhD degree overseas. I asked them anything: visa requirements, how to write proposal, how to get professor bla bla bla. Sometimes they also provide more information like last nite mba Muthia told me about the NRW ticket for student in germany, or the hottest issue saying school in germany is no longer free by winter 2017 (they will charge 1500 euro for tuition), living cost in Berlin is cheaper than the south Germany ( i thought it is expensive, been in Berlin once but stayed at friend's house in Lankvitz though hehe). Btw, mba Muthia if you read this, dankje well 🙂 *salim*
Well then, please do not forget to continue the research by studying their professor lists, see what are their interests, invest some times in reading all of their related research (go with the titles and brief introductions surely haha). While doing this, you should also compose a solid research proposal. By the time you find some prospectus professor, hopefully you also come with a solid research proposal. Then, you may start your correspondent with these supervisor candidates 🙂 Let's not forget to be prepared for sponsorship application !
And yes: plan for the best, prepare for the worst! Thank you for reading this! Feel free to share and leav critics 😉
bae: before anyone else 😉

Handmade Valentine's Day Card: Love is in the Air
Happy Groundhog Day!
Today I'm sharing a Valentine's Day card and a link to the challenge I made it for, then on to what Punxsutawney Phil had to say this morning.
First things first. There's a lot of inspiration over at Sketches4All. I made the card below for the
February DT Challenge
from a sketch. If you prefer to do scrapbook layouts, there's a sketch for that too, so come join us and have some fun.
There's nothing that says Valentine's Day to me more than seeing the colors red and pink together and roses and hearts together. So once I saw the sketch I wanted to incorporate those ideas as well.
To get that pink striped paper to look like it's part of the white paper beneath it I used a border punch on the bottom edge of it and then taped it in place before embossing it with the heart embossing folder.
The red stripe is made from the same red cardstock I used to mat the front. To dress it up I placed silver, vine shaped, tape on it.
To make the pink border on the doily heart I cut off the edge of a pink colored heart and glued it onto a white one.
Supplies List
Punxsutawney Phil says we have 6 more weeks of Winter. From the way it looks right outside my front door and all the snow coming down I would have to agree with him this year.
Pictured below is right out my front door. There should be a sidewalk and a road. You can see where my husband shoveled the sidewalk recently and it's being covered back up, but the road has vanished and has been gone for quite a while. My home is marked as a historical house and the wooden sign out front is half under snow. Love it!
Happy crafting and thanks for stopping by!

Cute background. I must be clever and creative. Summer is almost gone and it was a good one. We are all safe and sound. There are a few health problems to go around but hopefully those will be gone soon. It was great fun to have Kris and Scotty's families here for awhile. We have lots of pictures to remember the good times. Dallas and Anne had a great time in Disneyland. Hope they have a wonderful life together. It was a party month.
I am trying to soak up these last few warm days. I love sitting out on my deck and listening to the waterfall and birds and sometimes if it's still early, the crickets. I definately don't like to rush the holiday season but I did get Nutcracker tickets for Dec. 6 at 2:00.
Hopefully everyone will have a nice, long, safe fall and holiday season. Let's all try to enjoy the journey. Life has been pretty good to us.

Mr. T. has wanted a new truck for a long time but had never found just the right one.
He found one a week ago that he thought might be the right one.
The color was right.
The size was right.
The wheels were right.(I didn't know there was a difference in tires and wheels.)
The Price was right.
He bought it yesterday.
He is a happy fellow.
His old truck sitting by his new truck in the 1st picture.
This man has worked hard for a long time and it is something he has earned.
To see that face smile so big as he tells me things about it and to see that grin when he says "that sure is a *perty* truck sitting in my garage." Brings me joy and makes me smile.
We will go to the home show to see what is new for spring and summer.
Good time to try out this new truck.
Have a great weekend.j

Americans concerned about their rising health insurance premiums and the sticker shock from their outrageous deductibles have been following closely the Trump campaign, who stumped on the promise of doing away with Obamacare.
Perhaps that day is dawning?
Perhaps, it's more than a perhaps, as Trump is already sourcing out the right help.
According to Right Wing News, Trump has tapped into Dr. Ben Carson for his take on repealing and replacing Obamacare.
When Carson spoke to Politico about Trump's win and what it means for the fate of Obamacare, he mentioned a few ways the new administration could repeal the measure.
When Carson was asked if he'd help Trump's administration develop a replacement for the socialist health care plan, Carson said, "Yes, of course," Right Wing News reported.
"He declined to say whether he was in line for a Cabinet role, such as Secretary of Health and Human Services, or a broader advisory role," the blog wrote.
Either way, the fate of Obamacare is reportedly a Trump administration priority. The direction he will take it is still of interest and controversy.
Further in the Right Wing News report: "If prices are reduced and there are more options, that's great. But if they go down the progressive path, it will only get worse. I guess we will see what is proposed. … Carson is a brilliant man and the perfect person to work on this."

Reflections on another year of universityPosted: November 17, 2016 Filed under: General news | Tags: study 1 Comment
— Written by Hayley Payne. Originally published on The Griffith Collective —
In just a few days, the majority of us will have finished our studies for the year. Some will have just survived their first year, others sit somewhere in the middle, and there are those who are about to enter the 'real-world'.
So let's reflect on the lessons learnt…
1. It's okay to say no sometimes
You're better to do a few things well than to do many things adequately.
I thought the best way to get ahead was to take on absolutely everything: volunteer opportunity, job posting, five subjects, internships and more. This can leave you incredibly overwhelmed and overloaded.
Eventually, I realised it was better to cut down on my activities and devote my time to doing just a few things well.
So take some time to consider if there are some commitments in your life you can let go. If you continue working hard towards your goals, there is always going to be something else around the corner.
2. Attend lectures and take notes
Sitting through a two-hour lecture every single week can be incredibly difficult. Sometimes you simply don't have the attention span; you may not enjoy the subject or you have work commitments.
But, as I am sure many of you are now realising, not going to lectures and tutorials can put you in a tricky place.
As we move closer to end-of-semester exams, it's time to start studying. This can be difficult if you have no notes and no memory of the course content.
If only I had gone along each week and made even just a few notes, I wouldn't be experiencing the panic and stress of last minute cramming.
3. Pick your tutors brains while you can
Tutors are our greatest information source. Whilst cramming for exams, I have realised I should have asked my tutors more questions during the semester.
It is important to use that one or two hours a week wisely. Come to class prepared with questions about the content and assignments.
Thanks for reading and good luck with exams!
One Comment on "Reflections on another year of university"
Well said and good luck. Cheers. GT.

While we should always be striving for something, Benny has this down to a science. If it's not the ceiling fan, it is bubbles.
Today my friend Edward did the preaching, and I would have loved to hear the word. Alas, G and I had nursery duty. Needless to say, by the time it was all said and done..we were tired. It's hard to complain with so many great babies at church. I look at those kids and just imagine what life will bring them. Who will be Benny's best friend? Will he go on a date with any of these kiddos? I am reminded that G and I need to be excellent parents, in the sense of exposing Benny to a loving family and a loving God.
After dropping Avion off at his house, we found a dim sum restaurant on Olive Blvd. I'm thinking that Dim Sum means "this food smells like fish". While I can't claim to be a great fan, it was a fun outing. When it comes to Oriental food..I'll take Thai any day of the week!
Has it been mentioned that I have a great wife. Lately she has been a good counselor. During these past few weeks, it has been difficult to hand over worries to God. Whether it is challenges with family relationships, or business-related issues...I have been stubborn to put them on God's shoulders. THis morning she gave me a great talking-to. Sort of like George C. Scott portraying Patton in the opening scenes, she began telling me the facts, and reminding me what matters in this life. She had me listen to some great music to think about the way I am handling stress (or not handling stress). If you want to be humbled, listen to "Who Am I", by Casting Crowns.
As with daydreaming about Benny and those kids in the nursery, I can't help but daydream about what God has in store for G and I. For now, I'll just keep working at giving God the load...the extra sleep will surely come in handy. After all, tomorrow is my day with Benny.

Well, now we had lots of bubbles last week here at the house with Carissa. I don't guess I have met a child that didn't like bubbles.
As for letting God handle our worries. It is a difficult thing to let the Lord worry for us and handle our cares. We are so conditioned to always "tie a knot at the end of our rope and hang on" that we don't realize that if we just let go God will not let us free fall only to fall flat on our backs. He gently catches us and lifts us back up. Only now he has our worries and we can begin to put our priorities back in place and see things more clearly. It's very humbling and empowering at the same time.
Here's to a worry free day with Benny.

A long time ago somehow I learned to say thank you to God more than to ask God for something.
Be thankfull in all circumstances is Paul's message to all of us.
I wonder how many father's are blessed to spend every Monday with their kids. Wow!!!! what a blessing God and Gerry have given you.

Whenever I drive passed Best Friend Dimsum Restaurant, I find it to be enjoying brisk business, so, I guess it was about time we check it out and see what all the fuss is about.
This fried roti thingy filled with bits of prawns and meat had a fluffy texture and the filing was pretty tasty which went very well with the mayo that was provided
Pork ribs – the meat had an interesting Chinese herbs flavour but it was a bit tough though.
The minced pork wrapped fu-pei ( soya skin) came in a reddish sauce which I will describe as tasting like spicy tomato sauce, I didn't quite like it- it was kinda overpowering and didn't 'jive' with the dimsum
Fishball wrapped in fu-pei – had the same sauce as the beforementioned which spoil the fun lah.. the texture of the fishball was ok – I washed away the sauce with some Chinese tea and found it much improved 😛
We ordered century egg +lean pork porridge but the waitress must have forgotten and served us chicken shreds +chicken floss porridge , if you like smooth and fine porridge you would probably not like this as the rice grains are still intact and kinda lumpy, the meat floss was a bit sweet which didn't went well with the porridge
Fishball wrapped in seaweed – this had a nice texture and taste good too
Thingy wrapped in wantan skin – this was the best amongst the lot. Yummy
Char siu pao – the dough was kinda flat, lacking in fluffiness and puffiness . The filing was reddish ( boo hoo..i want this in black gooey sauce ) and had a strong taste of something resembling Chinese red wine.
Wu kok ( yam puff) – had the same filing as char siu pau above ( deduct some points) and the outer yam layer was kinda thin for my liking
The unit price of each plate of dimsum range from RM2.50 to a max of RM 5.50, for our meal above including a pot of tea, costs us RM31.80 which is about typical for a dimsum meal.
Overall, I find the dimsum average. The service was good –friendly and efficient
They are closed on the second Tuesday of each month.

In summer of 2010. all of my daughter's friends were crazy about some young hunk from the ultimate tear- jerker,"Dear John". He was presumably the best looking guy anyone has seen in years, a stud with a gentle heart,and his abs were to die for.
As I was spending a disastrous summer in the city, faced with a crash of my grand plans about moving to another country,the time I spent in front of all my screens was quadruplicated.
The guy seemed familiar,and finally I remembered him from a charming comedy "She 's The Man" with one of the best young comedians,Amanda Bynes (God,what happened to that girl??!)
He played a dumb hot football star Duke to her witty and smart Viola.I liked the movie,I liked his character so I gave him another chance as John Tyree.And he was good. Handsome and hot of course but also really good. And when I say good I mean good FOR the part and IN the role.Not good in the GREAT ACTOR category but exactly the right person for that specific job.And this is one of my norms for recognizing GOOD actors.
He was decent, unpretentious and touching.It was a perfect role for him, not to complicated,spare and manly.But it is a pity that the very important part of his character,his ability to love someone so deeply and selflessly,didn't come to full expression because of the tragic lack of chemistry between him and Amanda Seyfried.
It seemed to me that this guy had huge potential and I continued to follow his career.
Immediately I rented all the "Step up" movies which were good (no.1), and average (no.2).But his acting was decent again, his dancing excellent, and it is always great to see a multi talented performer.
Next was "Fighting" and Shawn Mac Arthur.The character was well written and full of great opportunities for an actor. And he took them and played it perfectly.Even though it is essentially always the same guy Channing is showing us,I like him.He is kindhearted, sometimes burdened by his past,ingenuous but capable of surviving serious challenges,he is loyal and fierce,gentle and decent.
And Channing Taum is a generous partner,he gives his maximum to the role but leaves a lot of space for his co-stars.
And Channing Taum is a generous partner,he gives his maximum to the role but leaves a lot of space for his co-stars.
His chemistry with Zulay Henao was excellent,far better then with Amanda Seyfried and till today I consider this to be one of his best performances.
"Stop-Loss" was my next stop and I was very excited since I am a big fan of the director Kimberly Peirce.
The movie was ok,not exceptional,but Channing played a correct partner to a very tense Ryan Philippe.
Since I started backwards,these were all roles that led to "Dear John" and in my opinion his big break in Hollywood blockbuster was well deserved.I still preferred him in comedies but I was excited to see what will come next.
And there it was,the not so great 2011.(for me neither so I was even more upset).Just a brief walk through some really awful movies(The dilemma,The Eagle,Son of no one,Ten years) and one that is an enigma for me (Haywire).
I understand the motives for working again with a director who loved him and who made two really good small movies before, but Dito Montiel blew it in the "Son of no one" and no one was there to save poor Channing (not even the legendary Al Pacino).He tried,he did the best he could but all in all it was awful.And it's a pity because the director showed us so much with so little means before.
I will spare everyone my opinion of his choice of the other roles, but Zip in "The Dilemma" was strangely funny compared to the lack of enthusiasm of far bigger stars in the movie.
"Haywire" is a movie I generally don't like nor understand but Tatum was decent in it and it was a beginning of a cooperation that will prove him as one of the smartest actors in Hollywood.
2012. began with a disappointment but afterwards brought a lot of joy for me as Channing's devout follower. First let s talk about the disappointment, "The Vow".
Essentially it is not an awful movie,it did well at the box office but there is a constant problem with his female partners that culminated in this movie.Rachel McAdams is a beautiful woman and a good actress.And yet her Paige to his Leo was uninspired,irritating,cold and selfish (not as her character but as acting partner).
It was a nice romantic movie in which she did nothing except counter play a very humbled Tatum with a certain disdain that was not intended for her character. Another bad casting move when it comes to pairing him with his supposed love interests.
And then no more romantic drama,just a great comedy."21 Jump Street" was pure perfection.His Jenko was exactly the role that he should do again and again,a role that puts all of his flaws in good use.He had a great partner,or to be precise partners,since all the cast with Jonah Hill as his co-star was brilliant.The simpleton who comes back in another era when the rules of popularity have changed had both heart and balls and endearing vulnerability thanks to Channing Tatum.
And finally "Magic Mike".Very smart and bold move,it could have easily gone wrong even with a great director like Soderbergh.But it didn't and I enjoyed it a lot. It was fun,it was serious and it was original.The cast ensemble was great and both Matthew McConaughey and Alex Pettyfer were excellent.
Tatum was completely himself and even though he had better roles,his creation of the movie project is what is so compelling.He let his partners play it to their best, which proves again that he is a very generous co-star. There is one serious flaw in the casting department and that 's Cody Horn.But I have already said enough about the choice of his female partners.
The movie proved that he was one of the smartest young movie professionals in Hollywood.
There are great examples of actors who are clever enough to produce the kind of movies they love to star in,like Mark Wahlberg and on a completely different level Ben Affleck and I hope Channing Tatum will continue in that direction.He has overcome the prejudice that surrounds so many good looking actors and actresses,he has endured harsh criticism,he was ready to learn from his mistakes and proved that he can do much more than just act.
So here is my whisper to Channing Tatum:
- more comedies,less romantic movies,more Jenko less Leo
- very careful choice of dramatic roles,the affinity with the director is not always a guarantee of a good movie
- expansion in production
And it seems that Chaning Tatum is listening to all our prayers and whispers,he continues producing,he did the next Jump Street movie and most importantly,he is triumphant with "Foxcatcher" premiering in Cannes to all around praise.
Finally ,a great dramatic role in a critically acclaimed movie with lot of exposure,Oscar buzz is already starting.

Okay, two more wallpapers added. Just got some inspiration, so I open my Photoshop Canvas and implement it. ^^ This 12th version wallpaper was designed in two software. I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 to make the vector image, then I export the image into Photoshop and added some finishing touch to the wallpaper :)
The 13th version wallpaper was design to fulfill Rhani3's request. She request a purple wallpaper. But it took me long long long time to make it, because of I don't have enough time & inspiration to design it. But at last, I've finished it ^^.
P.S. to Cipluq, wait for your wallpaper, Insya Allah, when I have plenty of time, I'll finish the tracing ^^

The Llano Estacado never ceases to surprise. After yesterday's nearly eighty degree spring day, temperatures retreat into the fifties. Overcast skies menace the southern horizon. Rain clouds race to smother a sliver of sunrise colors along the Texas border to the east. The gray canopy spits droplets and ignores the need for a generous deluge.
Cooper and I slip into the prairie amidst meadow lark melodies. The brisk morning air buoys our enthusiasm and hastens our footloose advance. The prairie appears lifeless, until the meager blush of sunlight sends blithe rays dancing across her bosom. The warm hues briefly highlight numerous bunches of star-shaped False Boneset calices. Images of twinkling starlight come to mind. Collectively, the shimmering clusters evoke illusions of far-off galaxies spinning in a universe of grass. Splashes of amber Trompillo berries rival distant planets and moons. They dangle from long since dry stems of Silver Leaf Nightshade skeletons. The tiny lanterns joyously proclaim the dawn of a new day.

Adding your personal touch to your windows can give your room a unique look. Searching for the perfect curtain can be challenging and sometimes overwhelming. Making your own curtains may be the answer. Eyelet top curtains give a modern look to a window and are an alternative to traditional gathered curtains. They can be easily pulled to the side to give a soft drape with ready-made pleating. Using purchased eyelet tape makes the project achievable.
Mount the drapery pole above the window according to the manufacturer's instructions. The pole should extend 2 inches on either side of the window opening to cover the window.
Measure the width of the pole to determine the width of curtain panels. Add 1 inch for each side hem. Double the width to provide for pleating of the finished curtain. This is the width of the fabric for one curtain panel. If you plan to make a pair of panels for your window, divide the final width in half.
Measure the length for your curtain panel. Measure from the top of your drapery rod to the floor. Add 6 inches to the length to allow for top and bottom hems. These curtains should just skim the floor.
Lay the eyelet tape along the top edge of your curtain panel to determine the position of the eyelets. Adjust the width of the panels before cutting to fit the length and positioning of the eyelets as this cannot be adjusted after cutting and sewing the fabric. Cut fabric to your dimensions with adjustments as necessary. If more than one width of fabric is required for each panel cut additional widths and join them together with a seam.
Lay the fabric on a table with the wrong side facing up. Fold over ½ inch along one side toward the back of the fabric. Press. Fold over again and pin the seam in place. Machine stitch along the folded hem. Repeat for the other side.
Fold up the bottom edge of the panel 2 ½ inches and press. Fold up another 3 inches and pin in place. Hand stitch the bottom hem.
Finish the top edge. Fold under ½ inch and press. Machine stitch.
Sew eyelet tape to the wrong side of the curtain panel along the top edge. If the tape has an adjustable plastic spacing strip, it should face up.
Cut fabric from the inside of the eyelet holes. Use small scissors or a rotary cutter to make a clean cut.
Clip eyelet rings in place around the openings.
Adjust the folds using the adjustable plastic spacing strip. This provides permanent spacing of folds when the curtain is pushed to the side.
Repeat the procedures to make additional panels.
Thread the drapery rod through the eyelets. Position the drapery rod above the window. Adjust the folds.
Do not sew over pins with your sewing machine as the needle may break.

In the fall of 2010 I had to replace the neck gasket in my drysuit. I got it done but it was a messy process. I had the process just about 50% right. I used the bottom of an 8 3/4 inch plant pot that fit tightly in the material but when I applied the Aquaseal, the gasket crept and I was sweating between the toes trying to keep it in place.
There are instruction videos on YouTube, some I found useful, some I didn't trust to get a good seal. I didn't like the idea of gluing the seal on a flat surface because the material doesn't lay flat and I was afraid of air holes. One guy made a neat contraption but I decided to stick with the pot bottom I had.
I just had to replace it again but learned from my earlier adventure.
I covered the form completely with wax paper and secured it with tape ...
... before inserting it into the opening. It was a nice snug fit. You can see the mess on the material from the Aquaseal I made the first time I did this job.
With the help of my wife I stretched the new gasket over the form and positioned it with the right amount of overlap on the material. This is where I made the improvements from the last time.
I tied the gasket tightly with string just above where the material lay on the form. That held the gasket securely while I peeled back the gasket to apply Aquaseal and refold over the material.
Then I applied clear packing tape over the seal, overlapping the gasket and material. I had previously determined the tape would stick to the gasket but not to the cloth so well. I was ready with another piece of string to tie around the tape where it overlaid the material. (The form is slightly tapered and a dry fit showed the gasket crept up a bit even tied with the string. The tape was the key ensured the gasket would stay put.)
As added security I tied a third piece of string.
I had zero creep. It was a painless process and I didn't even have to wear rubber gloves.
I was apprehensive about replacing the gasket because of the uncomfortable experience I had the first time but this worked well. I'm ready to paddle again this weekend.

This is the first of (hopefully) a number of posts about how to take advantage of information stored in Enterprise Manager's (EM) metadata. EM has to capture a large quantity and variety of details related to its functionality, which is stored in a highly normalized format. A lot of this information includes key details about environments that you, as a DBA, support. Knowing what's stored and how to access it correctly can actually make your job a bit easier.
As a DBA you more than likely use a variety of monitoring tools and require assurance that those tools are working properly. Ideally EM works without issue but obviously bugs will always be there. For the situation discussed in this post, the bug deals with an older EM release (10.2.0.3) and problem where targets for an EM Job will disappear, for whatever reason, while other targets stay defined.
For example, let's say you have EM Job "MONITOR - ORACLE SERVICES" and it's defined to run against all cluster databases. At some point 1 or more of those intended targets drop from the full list of the scheduled Job, so at a later point in time you may find that the EM Job is now running only against 5 cluster databases when you originally submitted it to run on 8. That's a pretty scary situation for a DBA to find himself it, especially since this particular bug doesn't appear to give any warning or messages.
The good news is EM metadata includes everything you need to catch this situation when it happens. The key objects are views MGMT$JOBS, MGMT$JOB_TARGETS, and MGMT$JOB_EXECUTION_HISTORY, with a little help from MGMT$TARGET_FLAT_MEMBERS.
View MGMT$JOBS holds basic information about every EM Job, for both what resides (if at all) in the library and for what has been submitted. Differentiation is done using IS_LIBRARY, a flag where a value of "1" means the EM Job for that row of data is saved in the library whereas a value of "0" refers to a submitted EM Job.
COL job_name FORMAT A30
COL target_type FORMAT A15
SELECT job_name, job_type, target_type, is_library
FROM mgmt$jobs
WHERE job_name LIKE 'EXAMPLE_JOB%';
------------------------------ -------------------------------- --------------- ------------------
EXAMPLE JOB OSCommand host 1
Once you submit the EM Job an additional row is returned from MGMT$JOBS where IS_LIBRARY = 1:
------------------------------ -------------------------------- --------------- ------------------
EXAMPLE JOB OSCommand host 1
EXAMPLE JOB.1 OSCommand host 0
Also note that until you define a schedule for the EM Job (either "One Time" or "Repeating"), the column START_TIME will be NULL.
To see which targets have been assigned to a given EM Job, use the view MGMT$JOB_TARGETS. Be careful, though. Like I mentioned before, EM's metadata is highly normalized, along with how you can define your own groupings. If you create an EM Job to run against 5 specific hosts you'll give 5 rows returned for this EM Job from MGMT$JOB_TARGETS.
SELECT j.job_name, j.job_type, jt.target_name, j.target_type
FROM mgmt$jobs j, mgmt$job_targets jt
WHERE j.job_name LIKE 'EXAMPLE_JOB%'
AND j.is_library = 1
AND (j.job_id = jt.job_id);
------------------------------ -------------------------------- ----------- ---------------
EXAMPLE JOB OSCommand linux1 host
EXAMPLE JOB OSCommand linux2 host
EXAMPLE JOB OSCommand linux5 host
But if you defined the EM Job as type "host" and assign it to an EM Group you'll get 1 row with a target type of "composite".
SELECT j.job_name, j.job_type, jt.target_name, jt.target_type
FROM mgmt$jobs j, mgmt$job_targets jt
WHERE j.job_name LIKE 'EXAMPLE_JOB%'
AND j.is_library = 1
AND (j.job_id = jt.job_id);
------------------------------ -------------------------------- ----------- ---------------
EXAMPLE JOB OSCommand PROD_GROUP composite
In the example above the "Target Type" defined for the EM Job is still "host" but when I selected individual Targets for the EM Job I picked a Group, as I wanted to execute the EM Job against EVERY "host" within the selected Group. To break out (or "flatten") type "composite" you'll need to join to view MGMT$TARGET_FLAT_MEMBERS. More on that in just a bit.
Now that we've found out how to list all targets defined for an EM Job, we need to find out how to compare that to what's actually scheduled. In comes the view MGMT$JOB_EXECUTION_HISTORY. The query I used for this is rather complex so let me first break it into pieces. First, I union EM Jobs of non-composite target types with those that are of composite target types. The composite target types are broken out into individual targets via view MGMT$TARGET_FLAT_MEMBERS. Second, I take this list of defined EM Jobs and join that to MGMT$JOB_EXECUTION_HISTORY, which represents those EM Jobs that are either "Scheduled" or current "Running". (Note: when an EM Job is "Running" it doesn't have an entry for "Scheduled". That only happens after the execution completes.)
WITH c_jobs_defined AS (SELECT j.job_name, j.job_id, j.job_owner, j.job_type, jt.target_name
, jt.target_type
FROM mgmt$jobs j, mgmt$job_targets jt
WHERE (j.job_id = jt.job_id)
AND j.is_library = 0
AND j.start_time IS NOT NULL
AND jt.target_type NOT IN ('composite')
-- Join in Jobs with a composite target type separately as these need to be
-- flattened out to get a full list of all targets for that composite type.
SELECT j.job_name, j.job_id, j.job_owner, j.job_type, tfm.member_target_name
, tfm.member_target_type
FROM mgmt$jobs j, mgmt$job_targets jt, mgmt$target_flat_members tfm
WHERE (j.job_id = jt.job_id)
AND ( jt.target_name = tfm.aggregate_target_name
AND jt.target_type = tfm.aggregate_target_type
AND j.target_type = tfm.member_target_type)
AND j.is_library = 0
AND j.start_time IS NOT NULL
AND jt.target_type IN ('composite'))
SELECT c.job_name, c.job_owner, c.job_type, c.target_name missing_on_target, c.target_type
FROM c_jobs_defined c LEFT OUTER JOIN mgmt$job_execution_history jeh
ON (c.job_id = jeh.job_id AND c.target_name = jeh.target_name)
INNER JOIN (SELECT member_target_name, member_target_type
FROM mgmt$target_flat_members
WHERE aggregate_target_name = 'PROD_GROUP') m
ON (c.target_name = m.member_target_name AND c.target_type = m.member_target_type)
WHERE (jeh.status IN ('Scheduled', 'Running') OR jeh.status IS NULL)
AND jeh.job_name IS NULL
ORDER BY c.job_name, c.target_name;
The INNER JOIN to MGMT$TARGET_FLAT_MEMBERS with the UNION-ed results is to limit the search to those targets within a particular EM Group, in this case our production Group named "PROD_GROUP".
Although this was rather lengthy to explain, hopefully it's clear now how to differentiate EM Jobs as defined in the Job Library verses those listed in Job Activity within the EM Console.


text: Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean DIRECTOR: Matthew Mishory Share This: Expected guests: director Matthew Mishory, actors Robert Gant, James Preston, Edward Singletary, Jr. Grab your Wayfarers and hop in a fifties vintage car for a road trip to Joshua Tree, 1951 in this sumptuously filmed, neo-noir portrait of James Dean just before he finds fame. Breathtaking views of the arid landscape and lush gardens at poolside cocktail parties create a dreamy atmosphere that lure the viewer in, as writer/director Matthew Mishory's story blends biographical and re-imagined parts of James Dean's life. James Preston, cast as Dean, bears a stunning and strikingly handsome resemblance to the outsider icon.The film seeks to redefine Dean for a new generation, by examining his complicated sexuality and his formative relationships. Dean's roommate and fellow struggling actor (Dan Glenn) is along for the ride from their Santa Monica apartment to the desert. The roommate is a quiet source of refuge as well as a passport to a world of cultural refinement. Accompanying them is femme fatale, Violet (Dalilah Rain), a would-be starlet who struggles to survive within the postwar Hollywood machine. Complex love triangles develop and twist, sometimes with tearful innocence, sometimes with tense consequences. The film cuts back and forth in time, from the pool to the desert, from intimacy to isolation. The binaries set up in the storytelling parallel those in Dean's life—he is childlike and jaded; sensitive, yet brutal; and a Rimbaud-reading-intellectual as well as an Indiana-born tough guy. It reveals a remarkably beautiful portrayal of this man who was incredibly focused on refashioning himself as the great American actor.— KEVIN SCHAUBAT&T Audience Award Text Voting Code: F120 Sponsor: Ken Fulk Inc.

Kitchen Kilim
– Emme
A. Yes, Kilim rugs are on trend now although they are nothing new to homes. This style of rug is dated back to the 4th or 5th century in China*. "Kilim" is a word of Turkish origin (or possibly Persian) yet signifies a type of rug produced in Turkey, the Balkans, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. The word denotes a flat tapestry woven rug that has a tight weft (vertical thread that runs side to side) that completely covers the warp (thread that run align the length of the yardage) and produces a bold, diagonal pattern.
No wonder they are become so popular since Western homeowners are now favoring geometric patterns. Kilim rugs can be purely decorative or can function as a prayer rug. Many motifs are used in kilims. The motifs are derived from symbols to communicate ideas or stories with purpose. Motifs that are typically seen include ram's horns for power, hands on hips for motherhood or fertility, the evil eye for protection against jealousy, the ying-yang for love and unison, or a star or bird symbolizing the desire for good luck and happiness.
Kilims are commonly made of sheep wool because of its inherent qualities. It handles easily when woven and can absorb moisture so it takes on colorful dyes readily. Originally dyes were obtained from natural sources, such as vegetables and minerals, yet synthetic dyes are available in the modern era to produce array of saturated color in any hue. Check your source on how it's made to see how natural it is, if that appeals to you. Either way you get the thumbs up from me!

In PageMaker, you can't edit master page items on master pages. In QuarkXPress, it's too easy to edit them. InDesign strikes a balance. If you need to modify a master item on a document page you must Command-Shift-click/Ctrl-Shift-click on it with any tool. This also works to select parent items on a child master page. After selecting a master page item, it then becomes a part of the local document page. This is called overriding the master page item. You can override all master page items by choosing Override All Master Page Items from the Pages palette menu.
When you override a master page item, you can make local changes to it. For example, you can override a master frame and then change the thickness of the stroke around the frame. However, changing the stroke thickness only overrides this one attribute; the fill color and other attributes are still linked back to the master page item. If you change the fill color on the master page, it does update on the document page, even though the object has been overridden. If you don't want any link between an object and its original master page, first override it and then (while it's selected) choose Detach Selection From Master from the Pages palette menu. Detaching means there's no longer a link to the master page item.

Obama Team Moves to Implement Tax Plan Quickly
November 10, 2008
From today's Washington Post:
President-elect Barack Obama plans to push ahead with a middle-class tax cut soon after taking office, his choice for White House chief of staff said yesterday.
Rahm Emanuel also hinted that Obama would not postpone a tax increase for families earning more than $250,000 a year despite the deepening economic gloom. He said Obama's proposals would reduce taxes for 95 percent of working Americans by an average of $1,000 each, resulting in "a net tax cut" for the overall economy.
The article doesn't challenge those talking points, but it all assumes that targeted spending-like tax credits and deductions aren't just spending through the tax code. Additionally, if you assume that the AMT would be patched whether or not Obama is president, his plan is probably a net tax increase for 2009.
See here for blog posts evaluating the Obama plan.

ARVADA, Colo. -- A Colorado family is asking for help bringing their loved ones back home.
Arvada native Shawn Marshall was in a debilitating scooter accident in Thailand on Nov. 5 that left him paralyzed.
Over the past few weeks, his family has been raising money to cover the $60,000 it will cost to medically transport him overseas, as well as to help with the mounting medical bills.
Marshall was in Thailand with two of his friends on their way to visit a temple when the crash occurred. Marshall was on a scooter and was hit by a person also on a scooter head-on.
"While he was sliding, the guy tried to avoid him and hit him in the head with the front tire. His head got whipped around and his helmet was shattered," recalled his friend Eric Leonard.
He remembers thinking his friend was dead.
"I saw him breathing. Yea it was a miracle," Leonard said.
Marshall was rushed to the hospital. Eventually, his Colorado family heard the news.
"Just knowing that he was alone in that bed and in pain. We just kept all thinking that he does not deserve this," said Marshall's soon-to-be sister-in-law Rachel McNally.
Doctors said Marshall suffered injuries to his brain, neck and lungs, and is paralyzed from the chest down.
The 29-year-old known for his sense of adventure and infectious personality, has been lying in a Thailand hospital bed for weeks.
"He's just lucky to be alive," Leonard remembers thinking in the aftermath.
While Marshall might have suffered major fractures, his spirit is not broken.
"I've spoken to him a couple of times and he's still Shawn," Marshall's cousin Alex Kelly said.
Their only focus is getting Marshall back home and supporting him during his recovery.
So far the family has raised $52,000 through a GoFundMe account. Their goal is $100,00 to help cover the transportion and his recovery.
"He's deserving and it's his time to be taken care of now. He's always taking care of everybody else so it's his turn to be taken care of now," Kelly said.
If everything goes as planned, Marshall will be returning home Sunday, a moment that can't come soon enough.
"It means getting my brother back. It means my sister getting her husband back. It means everything to have him back here," McNally said.
In addition to the GoFundMe page, the family is also hosting a fundraising event on Dec. 8.

There is an apparent fog coming and in fact is present. This fog is unlike the fog that causes apparent obstruction. This fog made from water droplets, as air also made up of water in a gaseous state becomes difficult to track. While fog is suspended like a cloud it may be fun to see on a bright day, but getting up and driving through it, is another story.
The awesome thing about fog in the morning is that immediately you know to be cautious while driving. This is certainly not the time to text or put on makeup while driving. You have both hands on the wheel and fully alert to the surrounding area. I like this fog because it is visible, however there is another fog that lurks in the daylight.
A fog that makes everything seem like the path is good. A fog that makes one feel good about the choices they make online and the choice to agree to things clearly against scripture. I know that the Bible is the least read book and tops the best seller. Like a trophy to be had and never touched or maybe even dusted and used for bragging rights but never really handled. This fog if possible could deceive the elect. This fog will deceive many and already has.
Please skip this part of the blog the rest is better:

There is fog light that cuts through the deception. There is a fog light that ignores the darkness around and still shines. There is a fog light that does not flicker when the fog gets thicker, but in fact works better. This fog light is for anyone who is tired and ready to move on to something greater. A knowledge and vision that is so much purer. The Bible calls him the light of the world. His name is Jesus. He left the promise of the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth.
In order for you not to be deceived by the cunning craftiness of the enemy, you simply must read the Bible on your own. Know what it says personally. Yes! Teachers and preachers are given by God to assist, but the Holy Spirit is given to you personally, so that you know personally what your function is within God's earth. The fog is here. People are calling evil good and good evil. Many are working hard to tear down the walls and some who call themselves Christians are helping them do it.
The fog is removed and the fog light shines when you take a hold of scripture and read it all. No more sound bites. Verses posted outside of context may be cute, but change and vision comes only when you digest scripture personally.
For the Bible says money is the root of all evil or is it the love of money? If you do not know what the Bible says how will you know, when you are being deceived?

I apologise for not being around much. It's all been in the spirit of Christmas however!
This year has seen With U in Mind take off with regards to the seasonal orders. So much so that I haven't had time to do anything other than make make make. Not that I am complaining. I couldn't be happier in all fairness.
I had my last fair of the year this last weekend and it wasn't the best which was a bit of a blow out, but never to give up I have plans for next year to hit larger scale markets and fairs to see if we can't get up yet another milestone.
The past few weeks have made me realise a few things however. Firstly - unless asked, or unless the flight of fancy takes me I won't be doing much in the way of Jewellery any more. It sells ok, but I just can't bare to see the stands of hand crafted markets saturated with the stuff (no offence to any of my readers who are themselves jewellery makers). My talent is middle of the road and I just can't compete. However my home decor stuff nearly sold out and all my 'novelty' items are pretty much gone too! So, as of the New Year - bye bye jewellery, hello my lovely sewing machine/fimo/alternative crafts.
If any of you are interested I have a 'Sale' album up on my Facebook. Pop by and have a mooch.
I've been working on a whole range of designs based around retro gaming. I started this at the back end of last year and never did anything with it, however with my move away from beads and wire I thought it was about time to resurrect the ideas.
These will be developed into clothing iron on patches, phone and kindle cases, console cases and a number of other things.
I also want to look at doing so large project bags but we will see...

First Ever HTY Blog Contest
The whole internet is a-buzz with ball band dish cloth knitting, a classic design made famous by the fun-loving gals at Mason Dixon Knitting. a few of us Hilltop gals have even jumped on board.
Wendee here
Karen here
and myself.
Well, with the arrival of Sugar n' Cream at HTY Queen Anne, and the fact that many of us are examining both knitting time and budget restraints until Christmas time, we are ready to cheer one another on to dish cloth knitting mania.
In my two years at HT, I have never seen Jen so excited about knitting something. Is it the simple, yet complex looking pattern? Is it the instant gratification that comes from a finished object in just about an hour? Is it the fun colors and the endless matching possibilities?
It's probably all of the above.
So Jen and I thought that a contest was in order. . .
Here are the categories:
--The knitter who finishes the most washcloths.
--The knitter with the most creative photograph of their washcloth.
--The knitter who guesses (or comes the closest to guessing) to the total number of dishcloths knit by the HT women.
We haven't decided on prizes for sure yet, but they will be knitting related, and of course you will be honored and recognized for your dish cloth genius here on the Hilltop Blog.
In addition to this, any of you may challenge a HT knitter to a knit off. If the employee accepts your challenge, she will set the time restraints and will decide what the "terms" will be.
The knitting will begin the first of Oct. and will end the last day of Oct. (plenty of time to knit a gaggle of dishcloths.) All dishcloths must be knit within this time frame, NO head starts! The washcloths should have 12 repeats.
For those of you who haven't been able to get your hands on a copy of Mason Dixon Knitting but still want to participate, here is a link to this classic pattern. It is listed as the textured slip stitch-2.
Dishcloth Boutique
You must register to participate, do so by leaving your first name and last initial or your blogging name in the comments of this post, along with your blog address if you have one, and your guess as to how many dishcloths will be knit by the HT knitters.
Registration will close Wed. September 27th. So post your guesses, warm up your needles, and get to HTY before all the Sugar n' Cream is gone!
If you want to challenge one of the HT Knitters, send an email with your challenge to firstname.lastname@example.com. We will forward it to their personal email. Remember, depending on their current stress level and knitting commitments, they may or may not accept the challenge.

My political journey started when I was a sophomore at Lake Highlands High School and I joined the Lake Highlands High School Young Democrats Club. Two years later I was elected president of the club and began working as a field fellow with the Dallas Democrats. Now, I've come back to work with the Dallas Democrats as a Communications Intern following my first year of college at The University of Washington - Seattle.
I am studying political science at The University of Washington, with a potential focus on international security. I am a member of the UW Young Democrats Club, volunteer with an organization promoting literacy among elementary students, and a radio DJ with a focus on female vocalists.
I look forward to spending my summer learning more about the role I can play in promoting progressive values through political action and participation. I am passionate about building a more inclusive, accepting, and thoughtful community in Dallas and the country as a whole. I believe the Democratic Party is the only party that supports people from every ethnicity, economic level, race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. I'm excited to learn more and to be an active participant with the Dallas Democrats!

As I walk this trail

The Mets need to finally realize that saving money does not always save money. I can't even name how many players they went after that were less than top talent to try to fill a position and save a buck, only to have to spend to fill the ineptitude of the position. We signed a second rate (that's being generous) closer (that's being generous) and now we have a wasted year ahead where we have to figure out how to replace him

First, I sail mostly singlehanded. On purpose. But that means the boat has to be less party boat and more easily handled.
What can you do to make a boat easier to handle by yourself? Glad you asked.
First, though, there has been in the last few years a real change in sailboat design catering to those who would use their craft as a floating porch, a vacation home, a party boat. Controls have been moved farther from the helm and they've been made harder to use - all in the name of more living space. More on that later. But now that I can fit 27 or 28 people in the cockpit, I couldn't reach the mainsheet.
The newer boats are the epitome of living space. That's not necessarily a good thing. First, in a seaway there's nothing to hold on to. There are great gaping voids below that are punctuated with corners and shin high seating. As long as the boat is level, you're cool. But pitching while heeled, that's a different issue....
Anyway, I digress.
So, the Ericson (that I will refer to from now on as 'Inertia' since that's its name) has a lovely interior - the only really wide space is where the galley is between the nav station and stove. But there are bars to hang on to. Once again, more on that later.
But outside - the mainsheet was on the cabin top - this was to get it out of the cockpit for more party room. Unfortunately, it means that a main under pressure is impossible to sheet in because the sheeting is at the center of the boom rather than the end. It requires the use of the winches unless you're way off the wind, and if you're not, you have to luff up to pull the sheet in or move the traveler to windward.
This is wholy unsatisfactory but the way I sailed the first year. The boat in it's then configuration was almost impossible to singlehand, and I was beginning to think I had made a really big mistake in buying it.
So I changed the parts on the mainsheet from 5 to 1 to 10 to 1 but that wasn't too satisfactory either - the amount of line laying about was excessive. Remember, by doubling the ratio, I halved the effort, but doubled the amount of line required to move it. Still, the traveler was an issue.
This was the way I sailed for the second year, though. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any really big winds, so I managed. But there still was some apprehension involved in going out on my own for any length of time.
At the beginning of the third year, (here comes the plug) I purchased the following gear from Garhauer Marine:
- Spring loaded boomvang, so I could get rid of the topping lift
- Genoa track cars
- New heavy duty mainsheet track and traveler car
- 2 - 2 line and 2 - 3 line breaks for the cabin roof
- Genoa furler blocks that mount on the stanchions (3)
That said, the most important thing I purchased was the mainsheet traveler. I installed it in the cockpit at the aft edge of the bridgedeck. Mmmm. Perfect. I can manage the main from the helm. What a difference!
The genoa track cars make handling the sail so much easier. Shaping can be accomplished in all conditions, especially when reefed.
The hard vang simplifies mainsail control - instead of having a pull up line (topping lift) and a pull down line (vang), it's just one. And I ran it to the coach roof. Wonderful! Also - it looks high-tech.
The next thing I did to help out was to bring the lines from the mast and boom like reefing lines and halyards aft to the cockpit roof. I used the new line brakes for that. No big deal, but they are quite fetching. And rebuildable. And all metal.
Now I can manage the sails singlehandedly with confidence and alacrity. Next up in the saga: new sails, and the plug may be for Somerset Sails. But they won't be here for a few weeks.....
See you on the water!

Netflix Calling For Comments: Hey, blogosphere. I need your help.
I dig Netflix. I think they do a good job of getting a good variety of movies into your hands in a good amount of time. Doorstep service is nice.
However, like most subscribers, my biggest gripe is their turnaround time. This past Monday, I sent all three movies I had back to them. I placed them right in the box at the post office. They didn't get back to Netflix until Thursday. Netflix said I should have received them Saturday, but I didn't. Which means, at the soonest, the movies will be here on Monday, leaving me movieless for one full week.
Is there some way around this? Are there tricks to getting the movies in to Netflix faster, or getting faster replies back? I'm about to have spent 1/4 of the month with no movie in my house. This varies slightly from my definition of "unlimited rentals."
You folks know from my other blog how carefully I'm budgeting my money this year. Would it be more worth it to me to go back to cable, tape movies on during the week, and then watch them Friday and Saturday night? If they can't even get movies back to me by the next weekend, I'm seriously frustrated.
What are your thoughts?
