So many things could have gone wrong while making Boyhood. And it's possible that many things did go wrong, but you wouldn't know it watching the film. Shot over 12 years, director
Richard Linklater's cinematic experiment has paid off handsomely by capturing a well-known Americana family dynamic and making the mundane passage of time seem downright profound. Laying on the grass outside his school, we meet Mason (Ellar Coltrane) at age five. His sandy brown hair is long over his ears—a youthful cut that is perfect for a five-year-old in all conditions. The ground around him is so very green and complements the blue sky and white clouds that
Mason appears to be pondering. His parents are divorced. His mother (Patricia Arquette) is struggling to find herself. His father (Ethan Hawke) is distant, works somewhere like Alaska. And Mason's older sister, Samantha (Lorelei), is naive, but this isn't her story even though she plays a key part in it.
Mason grows up right on screen, changing right before our eyes, and it's not movie magic or digital or make-up trickery. Years pass with no title cards or even much explanation. But we get what's going on early—the five-year-old becomes seven, then nine then, older. This is Mason's life, and we get to live it with him over a running time of about two hours and 45 minutes. Mom will get married and divorced again. Dad will come and go. Life happens. And you won't be able to stop watching.
The magic of Boyhood is that somehow the movie works and doesn't become some kind of cliched sitcom or episodic soap opera. Shot on film as opposed to the emerging digital soup du jour, director Linklater (Before Midnight, Slacker, Dazed and Confused) is able to build a largely uniform visual scope that tightens as the characters age and the project likely became more of an actual feature than a fun experimental exercise.
An interesting side note that I read on the Internet was that having an actor under contract for 12 years may have presented legal problems. Also, actor Ethan Hawke is said to have agreed to finish directing the film if something happened to Richard Linklater (which, thankfully, nothing did happen). Safe to say, Boyhood is a unique passion project like no other.
And the commitment never seems to waiver. Everyone on screen is in tune as they go through various changes physically. Hawke gets noticeably older, stops chain-smoking, and becomes more mature in a way that deepens his character's emotional connection with the viewer. We know that at the beginning of the film he's playing Mason's father, but by the end, he is beginning to realize exactly what that means by growing fully into the character. Fatherhood is the role of a lifetime.
Arquette, playing Mom, shows a lot of courage. We see weight changes from year to year, and she goes from a soft, young mother to a sophisticated college professor. It is remarkable. This is probably the best role she's ever delivered, and it took 12 years to get it right.
But the young stars Ellar Coltrane and Lorelei Linklater change the most. They grow up! And their coming of age is captured in such a matter of fact manner that is accepted by the viewer without question. Coltrane goes from a cute child actor who performs his role well to a true actor who lives the performance.
I really liked that Lorelei is the director's daughter in real life. Frequently, I work with my own daughter both on and off screen. She has been my television co-host and my assistant (recently working with me as I shot interviews while riding on MARTA through Atlanta). When you work with your children, you want the work to mean something to them and to you.
Whether it's cutting the grass, cooking dinner, or making a soon-to-be Oscar-nominated feature motion picture, you are wholly vested in the project in a very personal way. And I suspect that the presence of Linklater's daughter helped him see the project through to the conclusion. It was a 12-year journey, and he couldn't have completed it alone.
It might seem trite to say that like life Boyhood isn't perfect. But maybe that is part of its magic and natural charm. While it is really an exploration of 12 mundane years in the life of a fairly ordinary American family, it is never boring and rarely makes you think that anything that happens was forced. Sure, some sequences don't exactly work, but many viewers will excuse small lapses because they are so much engaged with the characters. You want to see Mason and those around him grow up. And in Boyhood you see much more than just time ticking away.

Sweet almond oil is a base or carrier oil
Bitter almond oil is an essential oil
Sweet almond oil comes from the sweet almond tree, prunus dulcis, var. amygdalus, this is the tree that produces the commercial variety of almonds that we eat. Its flowers are usually white.
Bitter almond comes from the almond tree, prunus dulcis, var. amara. Its flowers are normally pink.
Bitter almonds are slightly broader and shorter than sweet almonds, and they contain only about 50% of the carrier/fixed oil that is found in sweet almonds.
Sweet almond oil is one of the top oils for hair (and skin); it is rich in protein, vitamins and mineral oils and therefore is considered nourishing and revitalising.
Unlike the essential oils lavender, rosemary, thyme and cedarwood which are known to stimulate hair growth and are all found in Neno Natural's Hair Growth Stimulator, bitter almond does not have any aromatherapy benefits at all. It simply exists as a fragrance essential oil.
If the bottle just says "Almond Oil" you can sometimes tell which of the two it is using the following indicators:
As an indication only, carrier oils are not potent and are used for a wide variety of functions so they normally come in plastic, larger bottles of 60 ml (2 0z ) at the very smallest.
Essential oils are highly potent so you only ever need a few drops at a time. They degrade and evaporate rapidly when exposed to light plus they eat into plastic so they're normally sold in 10 ml (0.35 oz) dark glass bottles.
With the above said, however, I would not buy a bottle that just says "Almond oil" because it may suggest a poor quality producer who doesn't even know the difference between the two.
For your hair you want "Sweet Almond Oil" so to avoid confusion don't bother buying a bottle that doesn't say "sweet" on it!

Today we've had the loveliest day: M has been well behaved, F has been content, we've had a nice Sunday roast, and a fabulous wintry walk in the woods.
The winter sunlight was streaming through the trees and the sky was bright cornflower blue. There was a low lying mist and steam curling from bark as the sunlight warmed the woodland.
There was a thick, crunchy frost underfoot and muddy puddles had turned to ice.
We crossed three stiles, slippery with moss and ice, and explored the quiet woodland and fields. We had to stop for a Christmas tree chocolate half way through the walk when M started to flag.
I gave our walk a 'thumbs up' while M joked that it was a 'thumbs down' experience!
If only all Sundays in Winter could be as perfect as today has been.

Well it's December and the time is here. It's time to think seriously about getting ready for Christmas! I'm sure we're not alone in starting to prepare the home, the gifts, and the children for what is often the busiest time of the year and so I thought it would be lovely to share what we're up to in a series of December posts.
Christmas Craft
If you happen to know me quite well, you'll know that I 'don't do' craft. Much to my eldest daughter's disgust I'm not a great crafter, and no matter how many times I boast about my many other virtues, she has me down as a bad mother because of it. So this weekend I thought I'd do my best to put that right. We've been painting some lovely Christmas window decorations, and we've earmarked a gorgeous activity for next week – we're going to make a Christmas garland and some felt decorations. Not too challenging and good enough that I rise in her estimations.
We've also got these cute little Christmas figures to make this week.
I do love getting ready for Christmas and with the children around it more than doubles the fun. This lovely box of goodies was an early Christmas present from Ladbrokes, who are currently celebrating the release of their Christmas games.
Christmas Wrapping
Today I've done the Santa run and exchanged all the gifts ready for the big day.
So soon I hear you cry.
Well yes, it had to be done today for various reasons and so this last weekend I've been wrapping like crazy. The Christmas songs were playing and the Christmas Snowflake candle was burning.
I came over all festive!
Next weekend we're exchanging the second batch with the other side of the family and they're all ready to go too. Phew.
Christmas Decorations
Last week I wrote about decluttering your decorations and how to get the most out of those you already have. Another little task we undertook this weekend was to treat ourselves to a very lovely bag of new decorations courtesy of a John Lewis voucher I'd been given for some work I did for them last week. I've been loving their Winter Wonderland theme for a while and decide to go for it and treat us to some new ones. I'll pop up another post next week to show you how they look on the tree, but the girls had such a fabulous time selecting bits they loved too. It was a very fun hour!
So what are you doing to get ready for Christmas, or are you avoiding it as long as possible? Do share your Christmas preparations with us in the comments.
Thank you to Ladbrokes for sending us the box of lovely Christmas goodies. And for helping my eldest daughter to believe I can do craft!

I'm clearly a glutton for punishment. I subjected myself to two evenings of MSNBC's "analysis" of the Republican National Convention speeches. I admit, I had a morbid curiosity as to how they would spin these speeches, and let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint. While I know I should no longer be surprised at the tactics of the left and so-called mainstream media, I was absolutely appalled at their coverage.
The first thing that struck me was the pettiness and nasty tones of their comments. I get it – they're hard core liberals who think everything that comes out a Republican's mouth is either racist or hateful to women. It's clear that their only goal is to re-elect Obama, and that they'll do or say anything necessary to make that happen. I know who I'm dealing with here. But the spiteful, vicious, petty way in which they expressed their views was nothing short of nauseating. It was basically a junior-high level "you suck" marathon. They trashed nearly every speech as totally lacking in substance, and several of the pundits referred to the atmosphere as mean, vicious and hateful….oh yes, and racist. I mean, what would an MSNBC analysis be without accusations of racism?
Here are a few remarks that stuck out in my mind…
Rachel Maddow, who thinks she's the smartest person in any room, called Chris Christie's keynote speech "…one of the most remarkable acts of political selfishness I have ever seen on a stage this big."
Lawrence O'Donnell accused Mitch McConnell of having racist overtones in his speech, when McConnell said "For four years, Barack Obama has been running from the nation's problems. He hasn't been working to earn reelection. He's been working to earn a spot on the PGA tour." O'Donnell claimed it was a negative racial reference to Tiger Woods. What the…? How do you get racism from that comment?? Guess what, O'Connell? When you see racism in every comment, YOU are the racist!
Al Sharpton, who Rachel referred to as the "professor of oratory" — no, I'm serious…she actually said that — accused Republicans of being hypocrites because Ann Romney spoke of Mitt as a loving man, while Christie pointed out that Republicans need to worry about being respected, not loved. "Which is it…love or respect?"…was Sharpton's response. Say what? It's not like Ann said Mitt will make you love him. She was just speaking to the man's character. That makes them hypocrites? I'm confused. Predictably, Sharpton also went into several off-the-wall civil rights tirades….his typical M.O….but I'll spare you the details.
Melissa Harris-Perry remarked that VA Governor Bob McDonnell believes in government "small enough to put on a transvaginal probe", making a dig at a bill that would require an ultrasound before an abortion. How utterly inappropriate.
"Thrill up my leg" Chris Matthews referred to Paul Ryan's speech (which was excellent, by the way) as "very constricted, very negative and very nasty", and implied that Ryan was speaking to racists. Angry much, Chris? Matthews said "It's clear that Paul Ryan was talking to people who think about rights as something…produced by Thomas Jefferson, ignoring the people for whom the rights only came in the 1960s." Are you kidding me?
And while we're on the subject, what is with Chris Matthews' obsession with race and the "birther movement"? The man won't stop talking about it. Earlier this week, he tore into RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, accusing Republicans of using the race card in their claim that the president eliminated the welfare work requirement, and in Romney's birth certificate joke (it was a joke, people….lighten up!). Matthews also accused Newt Gingrich of being a racist for calling Obama the "food stamp president" and said Reagan was being racist when he used the term "welfare queen", which Matthew's claims obviously referred to black women. Only in your world, Chris…
Last night, Matthews even stooped so low as to grill Condoleeza Rice on "birtherism", asking her whether her speech was a "rejoinder to all the birtherism and narrowness that she's heard in her party." Unbelievable. Of course, Condi took it all in stride, stating that there are extreme views on both sides of the aisle, and that the great majority sees us as one America. Good answer, Condi.
The worst segment was when the entire MSNBC team went after Scott Walker on Paul Ryan's comments about the Janesville GM plant that closed after the president promised it would stay open, claiming that the plant closed before Obama became president. When Walker explained that there were prior layoffs, but that the plant did indeed close after Obama took office, that wasn't good enough for the MSNBC staff. Maddow pressed the issue and asked again. Al Sharpton jumped into the fray and continued to talk over Walker, as he again tried to answer the question. Ed Schultz continued pummeling Walker on the issue, but Walker stood firm on his answers regarding the plant and the auto bailouts. It was the most disrespectful bullying I've ever seen from a news organization. If they challenged Obama at even a fraction of that level, he would have never made it through the 1st campaign. Astounding.
Long story short, this is the media bias that Republicans/conservatives are dealing with on a daily basis. It's not just on the part of MSNBC, although they clearly provide the most egregious example of it. We see it from nearly every news channel. For people like me, who live and breath politics, we know better. I personally have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that people actually buy into their manipulation of the truth. But for many Americans who are not involved in the political process, this is what they are often exposed to, and it's all they hear, so they believe it. This is why conservative talk radio and conservative bloggers are so vital to this election. We have the truth on our side, and we must continue to get our message out.
As one example, I spoke to a co-worker recently, who votes Republican, but is completely ignorant of the political process or the issues at hand. I made a comment to her about the liberal argument that the rich should pay more taxes. Her response: "they should pay more taxes." When I pressed her on the subject, asking how much they should pay, she had no answer, and didn't even know how much they currently pay. I showed her the chart of how much the top 1% pays vs the lower 50%, and she was stunned. She had absolutely no idea, and immediately backed away from her statement. We just assume that people know this information, as we've heard it hundreds of times. Yet there are still so many who do not. That's where we come in. I have those days of frustration, when it seems the situation is completely hopeless, but I know giving up is not an option. This is a turning point for our country, and there is no time for doubting. The current administration has got to go, so we can begin the process of restoring our country back to its founding principles.

What to Feed Cats with Diabetes
If your cat has diabetes, discover some dietary restrictions he/she may need to start following.
Diabetes isn't just a disease humans endure; it can also affect our furry friends. If your cat has diabetes, changes to their diet may need to be made if you hope to combat the disease.
Diabetes in Cats
Diabetes is a disease that results from a disorder in the pancreas. Type 1 cannot be cured and is when your pet's body isn't creating enough insulin. Type 2 can be cured and is when the body is unable to use insulin correctly.
Interesting fact: in canines, spayed females are more likely to develop the disease but in felines, neutered males are at a higher risk. However, both cats and dogs are more likely to develop the condition if they are overweight.
Changing Your Cat's Diet
Switching up your feline's diet—with your vet's recommendation—is one of the best ways to help either control or correct the condition. The right diet will help maintain your animal's weight, which is very important. Obese pets have even more difficulty in processing insulin, which then makes controlling the disease hard. In addition, the fewer carbs your cat gets, the easier it is for the body to control the blood sugar levels. So the diabetes diet focuses more on protein and less on carbohydrates.
You'll want to speak to your vet for a specific recommendation for your animal, but, generally, dry food contains more carbohydrates, whereas canned food contains less. You may need to switch your feline to canned food over dry food.
For the best food brand to switch to, consult with your veterinarian. Your animal doctor will be able to tell you what your pet's new dietary restrictions are and what the treatment plan is based on the stage of the disease. Most plans include new eating habits, an exercise plan and medications.
For more information on diabetes in cats, please visit the Pet Assure education webpage on the topic.

Northumbria Police confirm cliff death referred to IPCC
Northumbria Police has confirmed the incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission due to the contact between officers and the man before he died.
Officers were in the process of arresting a second man in connection with the disorder when the prisoner inside the police vehicle escaped and ran off from officers.
Enquiries were carried out to locate him and at 1:03am his body was found at the bottom of Marsden Grotto cliffs.
The air ambulance was called and the man was given CPR treatment by officers until paramedics arrived. Despite efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The area around the cliffs has been cordoned off while an investigation is carried out.
Man dead at the bottom of cliffs after escaping police
The police watchdog has been informed after a man was found dead at the bottom of cliffs moments after escaping from a police vehicle.
Northumbria Police said the man's body was discovered at the bottom of Marsden Grotto cliffs in South Shields just after 1am.
The force had been called to the area at 12.34am after receiving a report of a group of people fighting in the car park of the Marsden Grotto pub.
They attended and arrested a man in connection with the fight and he was placed inside a police vehicle.
Nick Clegg: We did not contest by-election seriously
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has told Daybreak his party did not "contest seriously" last week's by-election in South Shields, in which its candidate topped only the Monster Raving Loony Party.
The Deputy Prime Minister said: "There was a by-election just a few weeks ago in Eastleigh which we spectacularly won. Some by-elections parties do well in others they don't contest seriously. That was clearly the case if you contrast Eastleigh with South Shields."
Mr Clegg also said his party would not "lurch (to the) right or left" after its disastrous local election results, which saw it lose 124 council seats and comfortably trail UKIP.
Labour MP: 'Good result on what we have seen so far'
Labour's election co-ordinator Tom Watson said his party enjoyed a good night in the local elections and South Shields by-election.
Speaking to the BBC Radio 4 programme, Mr Watson said "We had a good result on what we have seen so far, to get 50 per cent of the vote in South Shields, to win back the mayor in Tyneside, to make progress in the Westminster battleground seats within counties is good for us.
"In the Westminster battleground seats, places like Harlow, Hastings, Stevenage, Cannock, the Westminster seats we lost in 2010 and we need to win back in 2015, they are coming back to Labour in quite big numbers."
The MP for West Bromwich East said Labour leader Ed Miliband had been consistently told by voters that they felt a sense of "powerlessness" when it came to politics and its ability to change their lives.
"At the heart of this is economic failure, they feel the Government plan is not working and they feel the job of the Labour Party is to convince people there is a better way, that we can address this squeeze on living standards and give people more hope," he said.

Libs Dems fear big 'third party' gains for UKIP
The Lib Dems have told me things are pretty horrific for them in South Shields, with it looking like the 'third party' vote has all gone to UKIP.
The turnout in the Parliamentary by-election, sparked by former foreign secretary David Miliband's resignation, is 39.3%.
Cameron 'fighting for the pound in your pocket'
The only "real choice" for voters at the forthcoming local elections is between the Conservatives and Labour, David Cameron has said.
In a direct attack on Labour leader Ed Miliband's policies, the Prime Minister said "the scale of the challenge is actually laid bare today because this is the day when the leader of the Labour Party is turning left.
"More spending, more borrowing, more debt - that is what he's calling for, more of all of those things that got us into this mess in the first place."
Mr Cameron said the Conservatives were "fighting for the pound in your pocket" adding it was "a moral imperative" to keep council tax down.
"We're fighting to keep it there because we get something, it is your money, not our money and not Government money."
Lee Nelson 'to stand for election' in South Shields
TV comic Lee Nelson intends to stand for Parliament in the by-election for David Miliband's former seat of South Shields.
The character, created by funnyman Simon Brodkin and who has his own BBC3 series, intends to contest the election on 2nd May after handing in his nomination papers this morning.
Earlier this month Brodkin escaped prosecution following his arrest in March for sneaking on to the pitch and training with the Manchester City team prior to a Premier League match.
Nelson, standing for Lee Nelson's Well Good Party read out a speech on the steps of the Town Hall in South Shields, delivering a "17-point manifesto for a Well Great Britain" with a series of eye-opening policies, including issuing each child with lottery scratch cards at birth.
He added: "David Cameron, George Osborne, Boris Johnson - I wasn't educated at Eton or Oxford. In fact, I wasn't educated at all. It's time to give the posh the push. And let Lee be your leader for a well great Britain."
South Shields by-election due on May 2
The by-election triggered by former foreign secretary David Miliband's departure from the Commons is set to be held on May 2.
Labour sources said Mr Miliband would formally vacate the South Shields seat on Monday, and the writ would then be moved for the contest.
Emma Lewell-Buck was selected as the party's candidate for the safe seat earlier this week.

Fetty Wap shares the video for "Flip Phone," another new track following the release of his "Zoovier" mixtape.
Fetty hasn't had the overwhelming presence on radio this year that he did in 2015, but he has maintained the same prolific output. Like Money Hoes & Flows before it, Fetty's new project Zoovier keeps the stakes low, with the New Jersey rapper sticking closer to rap's pulse rather than searching for hits. "Flip Phone" is a brand new song that did not appear on the tape, but stays in line with the rapper's most recent release. The track finds Fetty taking his melodic flows to a beat that incorporates the piercing siren sound popularized by 808 Mafia, making for a song that would fit comfortably within a playlist of Atlanta's biggest rap tracks.
The video keeps things similarly simple, showing Fetty and his crew turning up in the studio, gripping bottles of Hennessy and flexing their jewelry.

District of Columbia police are investigating a shooting at the headquarters of the Family Research Council that injured a security guard Wednesday morning.
The alleged shooter, whose name was not released to media by mid-afternoon, entered the conservative group's downtown Washington building and opened fire.
D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier called the guard a hero for subduing the shooter who allegedly expressed disagreement with FRC's views. Investigators have not determined a motive.

"Investigators have not determined a motive."Let me help here. The shooter made a statement that he disagreed with the organization's policies before shooting.This obviously a Hate Crime and case of Domestic Terrorism.Your welcome.
Chuck McKenzie @ 8/16/2012 5:52 PM
The astuteness of your observation certainly tells me you aren't a chief. How did someone with your clarity of thought ever get to be a captain? Usually you are relegated to "permanent patrolman" status. Anyone as politically correct as the D.C. chief should simply keep her mouth shut.
Jelly2283 @ 8/17/2012 5:15 AM
Why is the police chief's picture posted? I would rather see the hero's.
Firecop @ 8/17/2012 9:10 AM
This nut job had 100 rounds of ammo and a bag or three of Chick Filet sandwiches. He was there to make a statement. More of what is happening in this crazy country. Washington's policies (or lack of) are resulting in many angry people who are snapping and behaving dangerously. It may only get worse, but it doesn't have to. Ger out and vote in November. And stay safe.

So, how was Brave?
In short: it was alright. Gorgeous design, landscapes, and atmosphere. But to tell the truth, it was riddled with cliches. A princess (oh no) that doesn't like being ladylike (oh no) and is rejecting the suitors that her parents have arranged for her (oh no). She also likes to shoot arrows, because archery is awesome.
Wait, but have I not seen this a thousand times? Now, before Pixar, I'd never heard a story about superheros with family issues, or self centred cars, or the day jobs of the monsters that live in your closet, or a fish that has lost his son and will swim around the world to get him back, tailed by another fish that has short-term memory loss. I'd never even heard about a father and a grandfather who took the littlest in their family to sweep the stars on the moon! (referencing the beautiful little short, "La Luna", shown before the feature film).
But I do know about that princess who hated being ladylike and proved she was just as good as the boys, in the end.
Brave's plotline was slightly predictable, and though the film was lovely and I'm dead jealous of Merida's hair, it wasn't exactly the absolute brilliance and freshness that Pixar normally turns out, you know?
Sorry to say, but going with Celtic-y Scottish-y stories about square pegs in round holes that defy their destiny against a beautifully animated backdrop, Dreamworks did it far better two years ago with How To Train Your Dragon.
Still, I'm glad I saw it. With scenes that were genuinely a bit creepy, laugh-out-loud comedy, and art to die for, it wasn't for nothing. But what carries a movie is its character, and the fresh story they live.
And Merida wasn't brave enough to stray into uncharted storytelling land very often.

zillow.com - Real estate agents often hear from clients who are interested in home buying because they "need more space" or they want more "modern" kitchens. There may be other reasons their current homes don't fully meet their needs: a new job, a new relationship, a new baby and so on.
But buying a new home is never the only solution. In fact, in some cases it may be better to remodel or renovate the home you have. Here are some things to consider when deciding whether to remodel, renovate or buy:

Battles of Monte Cassino
On 12 January 1944 Algerian and Moroccan Arabs, fighting under the French banners, went to the first Cassino offensive. They struck against Monte Cassino, in the north of the town of Cassino. Arab divisions from the French Expeditionary Corps formed the right wing of the 5th Army. On the left wing British divisions moved along the coast. They entered action on 17 January, supported by two cruisers and seaborne troops. Some of those troops actually landed in the British rear, instead of behind the German lines, and caused a lot of confusion, but eventually the situation was clarified and the British gained some terrain with the town of Minturno.

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK — Grand Canyon National Park officials say they're searching for three people who were seen being swept away in the Colorado River on Thursday morning.
Park spokeswoman Maureen Oltrogge says witnesses reported seeing the three jumping into the river at a spot known as Boat Beach and then being swept down river. The location is in the canyon bottom just upriver from the main park headquarters on the South Rim.
Oltrogge says park rangers were summoned by witnesses who used an emergency phone. Rangers in helicopters and on foot are conducting the search with help from a private rafting firm.
The river is cold at this time of year, with water temperatures of about 50 degrees.

Six - 6 - six miles into a 7.5 mile run and my feet, hip, calf were killing me and this was my thought....
"...to complete my marathon goal this year, I would have to run this almost 3 more times!!"
I'm doomed!
A good stretch and a pep talk from my running partner and confidence has returned. Being known for solid words and sage advice, what did my runner friend say that restored my resolve to pursue my goal...
"Your stride is...well...peculiar."
I've thought about it for two days and, she's right. It is peculiar. A short little stride, apparently fueled by the lower part of my legs partly explaining my battles with shin splints and large variety calf muscles (not just large for a woman-plain LARGE-peculiar!).
So how does one proceed with a peculiar stride? Change it, keep it, switch it up?
So how does one proceed with a peculiar stride? Change it, keep it, switch it up?
Looking up definitions of peculiar actually endeared me to the term describing my stride.
"characteristic of only one person"
"special, particular"
"odd, curious"
My life, my journey, this journey, my running, my good times, my hard times-all peculiar and all mine.
I've decided to embrace this peculiar stride, tweak it to minimize injuries and own it. Just as I am embracing my peculiar life journey, tweeking it to avoid injuries and owning it.


text: Well, what an end to the racing year we had. MotoGP may have been sewn up early doors, but it still held a lot of intrigue, while both BSB and WSB went down to the wire in their own way. Last issue just missed out on Cal Crutchlow's win at Phillip Island, and I wanted to say well done to him here. How pleasing was it to see a proper dry win? It's confirmed that the guy can ride in all conditions and win when the time's right. Whatever you think of Cal, you can't deny he's had a stunning second half of 2016 with two wins and a second at Silverstone. After the first half of the season was so appalling I was a worried man. He was beating the crap out of himself, but pulled himself up and came good – although two DNFs to finish the season are a bit of a disappointment.

NHL Rumors and Tidbits – Feb7, 2010
Report says Meszaros on Hawks' radar
Inside the NHL: Thrashers' Waddell could be next one out the door
Cherry: Phaneuf 'grew up' after tradeReport says Meszaros on Hawks' radar
Stan Bowman hasn't been in the forefront of trade reports, and that's understandable. The Blackhawks' first-year general manager has had a solid team in place. His rivals, though, are starting to make some moves, with Calgary, Atlanta, Toronto and Anaheim making major roster revisions in the last week and the archrival Detroit Red Wings swinging a minor deal Saturday, sending winger Ville Leino to Philadelphia for defenseman Ole-Kristian Tollefsen.
That move was designed to clear a spot for the return of long-injured Johan Franzen this week, with Tollefsen probably headed to the minors if he clears waivers.
Bowman figures to eventually fine-tune his roster, with the addition of an experienced defenseman most likely.
One trade possibility, reported by Canada's TSN, says the Hawks have interest in Andrei Meszaros, a defenseman for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
To get him, TSN surmises, the Hawks might have to part with forward Kris Versteeg, forward Patrick Sharp or young defenseman Cam Barker. Other sources say the Hawks might go after the Carolina Hurricanes' Niclas Wallin, the Los Angeles Kings' Sean O'Donnell or the Ducks' Scott Niedermayer.
"You never know what's going to happen," said Versteeg, who came to the Hawks in a trade with the Boston Bruins when he was a minor-leaguer.
The trading process is a bit different this year because of the Winter Olympics. The actual deadline for dealing is March 3, but rosters will be frozen Feb. 15-28 during the Games in Vancouver. Once the freeze is lifted, there will be three days until the deadline. That might explain why some big trades, particularly the one that sent Ilya Kovalchuk from Atlanta to New Jersey, were done so early.
Inside the NHL: Thrashers' Waddell could be next one out the door
Bucky Gleason
General Manager Don Waddell is certain to be slapped around publicly and dragged through town in the coming weeks, months — decades? — in an Atlanta-style thrashing if his team misses the playoffs and superstar winger Ilya Kovalchuk helps the New Jersey Devils to the Stanley Cup.
Kovalchuk's departure could very well lead to Waddell's, who has been running the show in Atlanta since hockey returned in 1999. The Thrashers can no longer be considered an expansion team, and people are taking a long, cold look at his resume and wondering if he's still qualified for the top job.
Fair enough.
Les Thrash made the playoffs only once, in 2006-07, and Waddell goofed that year by falling in love with his team. He confused a solid team, a playoff team, with a contending team. He wound up making silly deals, such as shipping good young prospect Braydon Coburn to Philadelphia for washed-up Alexei Zhitnik, and mortgaging his future.
The hockey-loving fans in Atlanta, assuming there are hockey-loving fans in Atlanta, have watched superstars Marian Hossa and Kovalchuk, once the cornerstones, walk out the door because they didn't like how the team was built, weren't satisfied with their contract, or both. At some point, it falls on the man in charge.
Waddell could be shown the door based on his record alone, but he shouldn't be condemned for trading Kovalchuk. He had no choice after the winger had the audacity to turn down a seven-year deal worth $70 million and a 12-year deal worth $101 million, confirmation that Kovalchuk had no plans to stick around.
"When you start talking over $100 million, it's a lot of money," Waddell told reporters in Atlanta. "As we found out, it was all about money. We built a team that Kovy liked. We knew Kovy wanted to stay in Atlanta for the rest of his career if he could. But when you start looking at trying to sign a player to that kind of contract, tell me which one of our young players — [Evander] Kane or [Zach] Bogosian — you want me to trade, because there is no way you can be able to afford these players going forward."
Cherry: Phaneuf 'grew up' after trade
WES GILBERTSON, QMI Agency
Don Cherry is a staunch supporter of Dion Phaneuf, but he's not surprised the star defenceman became trade bait in Calgary.
During his Coach's Corner segment on Hockey Night in Canada, Cherry weighed in on the seven-player swap that sent Phaneuf from the Flames to the Maple Leafs, saying the former Norris Trophy candidate deserves some blame for wearing out his welcome at the Saddledome.
"You know what happened? (Phaneuf) got too big for his britches," Cherry said. "If he was playing out there the way he's playing now, they wouldn't have traded him.
"I think a slap in the face finally got to him and he grew up a little bit here in Toronto. What happens is with young kids, they start thinking they're rockstars."
The Flames made headlines last Sunday when they shipped Phaneuf, winger Fredrik Sjostrom and defence prospect Keith Aulie to the Leafs in exchange for forwards Matt Stajan, Jamal Mayers and Niklas Hagman and rearguard Ian White.
Toronto fans are falling in love with the heavy-hitting Phaneuf, who scored his first point a Maple Leaf Saturday, but Cherry figures Flames followers should also be excited about the trade.

A couple of names I have heard kicked around to be shopped are cogliano from edm and mueller from phx, both players who have shown a lot of promise but definatly need a change of scenery and body have any ideas or heard anything? Also I've heard that the hawks were intrested in jay mckee and it would make cents with the pens despratly needing a winger. Man this week should be very exciting
I've heard Cogliano's name bounced around in several rumours. My buddy works for the Oilers and his assesment of Cogliano is that he's just not playing the way he can.
I don't know if a deal between the Hawks and Oilers makes sense because I think both teams are trying to shed salary for next year. So I don't see it happening there.
Jay McKee would be a great little pick up to shore up their defense in Chicago, but why would Pitty move him? He's been pretty solid and he's cheap.

It's possible that less companies would offer internships if they were required to pay interns. Interns are often just offered incentives, like the elusive "experience." Or even, in some instances, a potential to be hired on by the company. However, an intern is working a job without even being paid minimum wage, so that hardly seems fair or ethical. They should be paid, even if it's just at the minimum wage level.
Interns are basically working for free. This is in itself immoral. They are providing service to a company that this company would otherwise have to pay a normal employee for. They just use the intern label to save money on costs and circumvent the law. This is basically fraud. As the intern can't work another job at the same time due to conflicting schedules.
Interns basically enroll in internships to get an enriching experience on how the real world and work life , really is. Companies already spend precious time, money and resources for internships. If every company paid interns for their work, the companies would go bankrupt and the economy will be badly hit.
Interns enroll in internships to get an enriching experience on how the real world is like and companies are all ready spending a lot of time, money and resources. If all companies were to pay the interns, then companies would go bankrupt and the economy will be hit very badly.

I finally got a day off Wednesday and had the last 10k gallons of water delivered and got the pump going. The 22k gallons already in the pool was quite green. I dumped in 4 gallons of wal-mart ultra while they were filling (all I had). I did a quick chlorine test yesterday and it still read 0 so I dumped in 6 more gallons. This morning I hung 3 pounds of stabilizer in a knee-high in front of the skimmer. I was already late for work (stayed up too late watching ncaa's) so I also did some tests this morning.
Ph 8
CYA 0 (sample never turned 'cloudy')
I'm going to try to find some muriatic acid on the way home. I am just circulating now, I'll load the filter tomorrow morning and get it going. With any luck I'll be able to see the bottom in a week or so.
Thanks for the forum and help.

How do you tell another couple....That your wife and you....AND them....are all poly?
Sound weird?
I know.
Here's the deal:
My wife and I have been "dating" this couple for a while now. We told them when we all got together the first time, that we like to remain exclusive with one couple, but that we don't ask them to be that way if they don't wish to be. Well, they were fine with that.
Fast forward about 2 years.
We are still dating them, and sleeping with them. A while back, we mentioned to them that we were thinking that we are more "poly" than "swingers". They shut down. The went silent and literally didn't speak much back to us other than the occasional "yeah" or "no". Things got REALLY awkward. Well, the female of the other cpl was diagnosed with HPV. (We always use condoms) She felt it necessary to let us know about it, and was VERY apologetic about it. We were like "It's not your fault. We're here to help you through this. We really love you guys both."
Well, she had a part of her cervix removed, which apparently removed all of the cancer from her cervix.
In passing, I told her that it looks like we'll just be having sex with them as a couple from now on. She laughed and said yeah. You guys are the only ones we sleep with now anyway. We haven't slept with anyone else for like 2 months. We love you guys too."
This sounded GREAT to us. Then.....We mentioned the "p" word again..."polyamory".....And they shut down again. This is perplexing to my wife and I. We love this couple. We do a lot of things together. We do a lot of things with their kids and our kids together. We love their kids....and they love ours. We tried to tell them that we are all living a poly lifestyle, but they seem to not want to accept it.
The other night, we went out with them and mentioned that we went to a poly support group...They went silent again! We love them....but this "word" seems to be making them shut down. We want to be able to commit ourselves to them, and them to us.....but now we don't think it will ever happen and this saddens us.
Any pointers?
It sounds like you guys are in a really good place that many would be jealous of
If everything is working fine then why would you even bring up the word?
Is there something more you want from them that requires you to identify with a specific label? If it is merely the word polyamory that disturbs them, and there will be no noticeable difference in your relationship regardless of how it is referred to, than can't you simply let go of the word?
If you are looking for something more closed like a polyfidelitous agreement than perhaps more talk would be necessary. Otherwise enjoy yourself!
Take care

Monogamy might just be in my genes
Poly Events All Over
The simplest thing I can think is not to label it. Just go on being in the relationship that you're in. It doesn't need to be named. You guys are happy and in a dynamic that works for you so why does it matter what they call it?
Oh yeah, and be careful about refering to them as poly...they may not like being identified that way. I don't and for some weird reason I get very defensive when people say I am.
Hopefully some one else will have better advice LOL!

It just feels like we're lying if we don't label it as "poly", but.....I can understand what you mean.
Maybe we (my wife and I) are being too anal about it. LOL
Don't look for drama, my friend. If this issue causes stress but otherwise you are happy and healthy, count your blessings There are lots of people just living non-monagamy who simply live it without thought to what to call it or who they "fit in" with. It would be comparable to over analysing breathing...you just do it and it keeps you healthy. Relationships can be the same if we just let them!

Monogamy might just be in my genes

The way you describe it, they don't seem ready to "deal" with the idea of being poly. They may not even "be" poly a priori, it could be that they actually are swingers but then they fell in love with you guys. If things end with you, they may return to a swinging lifestyle. By analogy, being in a homosexual relationship doesn't make you gay.
They may also not want the "burden" of another romantic relationship. As they have it now, they have a loving sexual friendship with you. Romantic relationships, once you admit that's what they are, become a lot of work and responsibility. It could be that between parenting and their marriage, they have their hands emotionally full.
I say enjoy what you have and forget about labelling them. It's not fair for people to go around labelling other people, we have to choose our own identities. If they've chosen to identify as swingers, it's not your place to re-label them. They're not packages and you're not UPS
As I am sure any cat owner will be able to tell you,
someone else putting you in a box is entirely different
from getting into a box yourself. bisexualbaker
It seems to me that some swingers think that poly is another word for flakey, way to committal, hippy love, more to do with family love communial living than sex. Some polyamorous people think that swinging is heartless, just a fuck fest where you don't even know the persons name let alone care about them, and does not consider anyone's feelings whatsoever. Of course this can be true, but also far from it.
There seems to me to be a continum of one thing to the other, there is the possibility of sitting somewhere on that continum all the time, or with certain people and that can change over time also.
Really, definitions to me in my life are about figuring things out and then leaving them alone in order to just live life. Who cares if they identify as swingers and identify as poly? It could make for an interesting discussion if you were to broach it like that perhaps? Or just drop it and carry on with what you have.... who knows, they may ask you one day what you know about it all and show some interest.

Maya Yoshida says he was never looking to leave Southampton when he was struggling for first team action.
The 25-year old Japanese centre-back has been back in the Saints line-up since replacing the injured Dejan Lovren in the middle of last month and insists he is loving life on the south coast of England.
"It is very good to be back in the team and I am happy to be playing again. There is a very good competition for defenders and centre-backs so I need to keep applying myself," he told the Daily Star.
"When I wasn't playing, the team was playing very well so I couldn't be disappointed but I tried to be professional and wait for my chance.
"I did not think about leaving. My dream is to play in the Premier League and have success here. Why would I play half a season then go to another club or another country. That's crazy."

End of the Trail for Chief Churchill?
The owl is a sort of college professor." Elbert Hubbard
In the case of Chief Ward Churchill, how wise he looks, well, it's a matter of debate. However, clever as Churchill may have seemed to have been, wisdom has not been his strong suit…
Seems that the truth has been reveled and the axe is going to fall. Ward's neck is on the block. University of Colorado's Interim Chancellor Phil DiStefano put the word out yesterday, June 27th.
"Today, I issued to Professor Churchill a notice of intent to dismiss him from his faculty position at the University of Colorado Boulder,"
This, according to an article posted on NewsMax.Com
Certainly Chief Churchill intends to sue the university….The matter is far from over, but at least Churchill will be spewing his anti-American hate in a court of law and not in a classroom. Of course as anti-American as Churchill sounds and no doubt is, it isn't his political ranting that have cost him his job.
There is evidence apparently that Churchill likes to take other people's written work and claim it as his own… Can you say plagiarism? Not only that, he is accused of just making up facts.
Here's another bit of NewsMax.Com's article to illustrate;
"The entire Churchill episode began when it came to light that he wrote, in an essay about 9/11, that those who died in the World Trade Center bombing were "little Eichmanns."
That statement was found to be protected under free speech rights; however, the trouble was not over for Ward Churchill.
"A committee last year began to look at his writings including his essay on 9/11," said DiStefano. "We determined his writings were protected under the First Amendment. However, during that process there were allegations of research misconduct."
Last month, an investigative subcommittee concluded that Churchill repeatedly fabricated his research, plagiarized others' work and strayed from the "bedrock principles of scholarship," reports the Denver Post."
It's good for the students and the faculty of the University of Colorado to be rid of the likes of Ward Churchill. It's a shame that so many students have been influenced by such an unprincipled fraud.

the song: "Get Lonely" The Mountain Goats
Did you know that April is Grilled Cheese Month? If you haven't already, you have 3 more days to celebrate the grilled cheese in all it's glory. Thanks to the husband's amazing cheese-detective work, we've enjoyed multiple grilled cheeses during this celebratory month. I sat down to post an accompanying recipe...a really delicious roasted tomato soup. But when I started writing I was flooded with a memory of one particular grilled cheese. So in honor of April, I'll share my story of how grilled cheese saved my life.
In July of 2007, my step father suffered a heart attack. One month later, almost to the day, my mom had an accident while riding her horse and broke her pelvis. It was a very difficult few months dealing with the day to day realities of injury and hospital stays. I spent a lot of time helping them that summer, and because of their amazing attitudes and outlook on life, they thankfully came out healthier and better than before. Nevertheless, that summer was a difficult time for my family.
One night after leaving the hospital, sad, exhausted and scattered, I went to spend the night with my dad. On my way, I told him I hadn't eaten and was going to grab some fast food. He told me "Nah, that'll just make you feel worse. I'll cook something for you." When I got there around 10 o'clock, he presented me with a delicious, simple grilled cheese. He made it just the way he always has with white bread, butter, and American cheese. That meal sticks out as one of the better things I've ever eaten. It calmed me just like good comfort food should. That grilled cheese gave me what I needed to get up and go back to the hospital the next day.
One of the reasons I'm thinking about all this is because my 91 year old grandfather is in the hospital right now. He's been there for almost a month, and he's not doing very well. I'm heading up this weekend to visit him and be with my mom and grandmother, and I know it is going to be a tough trip to make. Today, while I have the time, I'm making my favorite cookies and simmering broth on the stove. I'm cleaning house and washing clothes...doing things that always make me feel better. And I made myself a grilled cheese for lunch.
They say it's bad to medicate yourself with food, but is it ok to medicate yourself with cooking? This time spent in my kitchen is giving me time to reflect and giving me something to focus on so my emotions don't taking over. I'm taking time to myself so I can be there for my family. The biggest comfort is knowing they'll be there for me, too.

Miguel Ángel Belinchón Bujes, known as Belin, (born in Linares, Spain in 1979) is an artist who has been famous for his hyperrealist murals for some time. After a journey to Pablo Picasso's birthplaces, Belin embarked upon what he described as "postneocubism", a style combining the typical elements of cubism and hyperrealism.
Belin's works often feature his relatives, whose realistically depicted faces emerge from geometric cubist figures, with results that are as original as they are distorted and alienating.
Although most of his recent works are on canvas, Belin is still very involved with public works, as evidenced by the mural he painted for last year's Meeting of Style festival in Cancun, Mexico.
His work is available to view on his website (http://belin.es) and on his Instagram profile (https://www.instagram.com/belin_official/).

Welcome to the new incarnation of the CUE Blog. My name is Doug Robertson, and I'll be the CUE Blog's Supreme Mugwump, Grand Poobah, and Cat in the Hat.*
The CUE Blog will be home to a diverse and interesting collection of writers covering education topics far and wide, general and specific. It is my goal to bring to you, our dear readers, the highest quality in education writing while balancing information with voice and personality. The CUE Blog will be a place you want to come read because you know you'll leave not only having learned something, but having enjoyed learning it.
As the new editor of the CUE Blog I should introduce myself to those unfamiliar with me. When the new school year starts I will be a fifth grade teacher in Gresham, OR, which sits just outside of Portland. It's my first year in the area. I just finished two years in Medford, OR where I taught third and fourth grades. Before that I spent six years on the island on Oahu training for triathlons, surfing, riding my motorcycle, and teaching third, fourth, and sixth grades. While I was in Hawaii I had two wonderful student teachers who are now excellent teachers in their own classrooms, bringing the aloha and spreading the Weird Way. My first contracted year of teaching was spent in southern California, a little town called Pearblossom, where I taught third grade. My classrooms have always been extremely diverse both racially and socioeconomically, which I think has strongly informed how I teach and think about education. I matriculated from the University of the Pacific where I majored in education, minored in theater arts, and graduated magna cum barely.**
I've written two books about teaching. The first is called He's the Weird Teacher and it's my effort to explain how I think about teaching. It contains stories about students, lessons I use, and educational philosophy. He's the Weird Teacher will not teach you how to better teach students to divide fractions. In fact, if you have a better way to do that please let me know. Instead it will remind you why you got into teaching in the first place, what the joy of the job is even through all the struggles, and hopefully give you the confidence to be yourself in your classroom and truly experiment to better serve your students.
My second book is called THE Teaching Text (You're Welcome) and it's a satirical look at every teaching book you've ever read (except my first book, of course). It's not meant to be taken seriously and is written from the perspective of someone who knows he's the greatest teacher to walk the Earth. Why else would he have written a book about teaching? You should be grateful he wrote this book. Both books are funny, but this one's primary goal is to make you laugh while always asking questions about the educational foundations we're standing on.
My vision for the CUE blog is one of inclusiveness, diversity, and bringing education the rock and roll it needs. We're going to be bringing in writers from all walks of the education world, elementary, middle, high school, and college classroom teachers, researchers, counselors, parents, writers, and more. Anyone I can find who I think can bring something interesting to our table I'm going to pursue and publish. Remember, this is a promise coming from a guy who once had his tattoo artist come in to his third grade classroom to speak on creativity. Spoiler Alert- the kids loved him.
This means I need your help. Have an idea you want to explore in a post on a major education website? Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. Have an educational webcomic you think deserves to be seen by all of CUE's readers? Use those email addresses. Want to spoil season five of Game of Thrones? Go throw yourself in front of a speeding dragon. Other than spoilers I am open to anything. I want to be surprised. I want to learn from the people who will be writing for me. I'm looking for posts, interviews, book reviews, commentary, lesson ideas, professional reflection, signal boosting, social justice in the classroom, technology and it's many uses, and more. I'll be writing about these things but I don't want to be alone. Join me on this quest to make the CUE Blog the most read, most interesting, most entertaining blog in the 'Verse.
Let's say you don't have an entire post in you but you have questions for me. You have comments you'd like a response to. I will be running a semi-regular*** mailbag I'll be calling CUEstions and CUEmments. Send me your wonders, your thoughts, your observations, and I will answer them in a public forum, thus fulfilling my destiny as Educator of the Millennium****.
I'm excited to helm this phase of the CUE Blog and I'm thrilled you're all going to be along for the ride. I look forward to your comments, your post pitches, your CUEmments, your CUEstions, and your tweets. Once again, those emails are email@example.com and email@example.com and I can be found @TheWeirdTeacher on the twitters… *****
Thank you.
*If you understand all three of those references reward yourself with 1000 Internets, redeemable at any Restaurant at the End of the Universe
**I love that joke.
*** read: "when I have enough emails for a post"

***** I promise the footnote gag won't be a regular thing^

Venus brushes past the Seven Sisters and moves on with a friendly wave goodbye
The reason I took photos of Venus and the Pleiades the last two nights was in case it was cloudy tonight, when they were supposed to have their closest encounter. It started out cloudy and Venus wasn't visible at all. Then the clouds thinned, and Venus became visible, glowing in the clouds, but the Pleiades weren't visible at all, overwhelmed by the clouds and the brightness of both Venus and the ambient moonlight, brighter than last night, and far brighter than the night before. But the clouds seemed to be thinning, so I set up the tripod and hoped the wispy bits of cloud would part enough to reveal the Seven Sisters. Eventually they did.
Back to the long lens again, 200mm -- f/11, 2 sec., -1EV, aperture priority. High ISO Noise reduction turned up. Also turned Active D Lighting to High, in hopes it would keep the very bright Venus from totally overwhelming the dimmer stars. Slight tweaking in Photoshop. It is what it is.
Bye, Venus!
