Wouldn't it be great if you could just end the struggle and get some real results?
That thought comes to mind in almost every area of our lives where we feel we "should" do a particular thing(s), but keep failing.
Well I reckon I've jumped into one particular battle and won it big-style, and it's had a huge impact on other things too. You already know what I'm going to say: it was the battle to get physically active after a lifetime of lardy laziness that made all the difference.
A few days ago I talked about how I lost 50 pounds and got shed loads of extra energy in just a few months. I wanted to remind myself, and anyone else who might benefit, how I got started and made changes that have actually "stuck" for more than two years now.
Today's the third of January.
If you do what I'm suggesting, starting today, there's a good chance you'll have a noticeably smaller arse by the end of the month!
But first, a few questions to get really, really clear on.
1) Do you really want a smaller arse? (a smaller bum generally means you'll also loose flab from other places too).
Picture credit: jkavo
2) And if so, why? This is very important.
Why do you want one? I mean do you really want to lose weight? Why? Where's that desire coming from? What's so special about losing a few pounds? What are our reasons?
Having very clear reasons for wanting to do a thing, positioning it carefully in the bigger picture of what we're about and where we want to go in life, is one of the keys to motivation and making lasting changes.
So, let's not give ourselves flaky answers that we haven't really thought about. Get real: what's the actual pay-off for having a smaller arse?
Picture credit: timparkinson
For me, losing weight was initially about:
A) knowing I'd look better (wondering what it might be like to not look like crap at the beach or swimming pool);
B) wanting more energy to get all my stuff done and to be generally less tired;
C) I wanted to know what it'd be like, for the first time in my life, to be fit!
Now, more than two years after I took up running for weight loss, I love it for its own sake too, it is a thing of beauty, pleasure, and it lifts the spirits on a daily basis. If you've never established the habit of regular fast movement, you probably won't get what I'm on about.
Picture credit: mikebaird
You see I'd heard that fit and active people just "feel better".
And I'd heard that as well as feeling better, getting active had all kinds of knock-on effects including clearer thinking, less stress, more happiness - smashing things indeed. I just wanted to experience that wonderful sense of vitality. I'd imagined, if I could just get to a certain fitness point, I'd enjoy life on a higher level.
I don't know if you've ever thought "maybe there's something that experts know, that if I just discovered it, and applied that knowledge, I'd be dramatically transformed and all my glorious potential would finally be released"?
I have. Have you?
Well anyway, so far, I've discovered no such thing! BUT, I honestly think getting moving fairly fast on a regular basis, for physically inactive people like I was, may well be the NEAREST thing we'll find to a kind of natural magic!
So that brings us to this next question:
3) Is this smaller-arse-package-deal really worth the price we'll have to pay to get it? (and when I say smaller-arse-package I mean smaller-any-fat-thing-you-like, looking-better-more-energy-fitness-feeling-better-clearer-thinking-less-stress-more-happiness-higher-plane-vitality-smashingness!)
Picture credit: peter becker
So go on, really think about it.
Is all that goodness worth the price we have to pay to get it?
You know my answer already! For me it is YES! YES! and thrice YES!
The thing is, the price we pay AIN'T THAT MUCH FOR WHAT WE GET! I've found the biggest thing needed is a change of attitude: think "can-do", rather than "this is gonna be really tough, most people fail, I'm not sure I'll keep it up".
Instead, let's settle in our own heads that we are "make-up-our-minds-and-make-it-happen-kinda-people". When we decide we want something that fits our life's bigger purpose, we find a way, right?. We build desire and destroy doubt. We ignore slip-ups, backsliding, mistakes, and we just get on with it! Oh yea, and we set it up so we ENJOY the process too.
The trick here is to just start! Start small! Say "boll ox" to a heavy schedule of unrealistic targets. We said we'd get real, didn't we?
So here's what I know that helped me get all the benefits I've outlined, and more.
Picture credit: marktollerman
Remember, I'm not an expert so you must check this stuff out properly for yourself. You must discover what's right for you personally - it's up to you to get proper medical advice where necessary. All I'm suggesting are these raw ideas that did the biz for me, I'd say the same to any of my mates if they asked.
It's widely accepted that getting moving fast, raising our heart rate, for at least 15-20 minutes most days is good for us. We know that.
Though there's some discussion about the amount and intensity the average adult needs in order to max out the benefits (see here, and here), I'm going to show you what I did that will at least help you start building a great habit, and feeling better.
Oh yea, if you feel better and get more energy, do you think that'll also improve your mood? I think so! And if your mood improves, your going to have a nicer personality, right?
Too right! Now bring it on!
1) Set yourself up to win by tackling just one habit change at a time (chase two rabbits and we'll catch neither, and all that!)
2) The habit to establish first is that of getting moving fast five times a week. Depends on your schedule but really, this foundation of energy and vitality will become solid enough to help you build up all kinds of secondary benefits.
3) Get some training shoes on and get out the door of your house. You're going to do a round trip that gets you back to the place you started within the set time (or obviously, you could just do this as part of your journey to work).
4) The aim is to get your heart rate up to a good level for about 20 mins and to really enjoy it too.
5) You can get the results you want in 25 mins. That's everything you need to do in 25 mins.
6) You leave the house, office, wherever, and you start walking, after a few minutes warming up, you're walking as fast as you comfortably can.
7) Keep walking at that faster pace for about 15-20 mins.
8) Give yourself a few mins just before you arrive back home to walk a little slower as a warm-down.
9) You could do a little stretching when you get back.
10) I like listening to audio books or talks (got to stay aware of traffic and stuff though) to make it a really useful time.
Reading my own bullet points, it seems a bit patronising telling you that stuff.
Honestly, I don't mean it to be. It's just what works for me and I know how tough it can be to establish new habits unless we make it really, really simple and get the right thinking in place.
A few minutes of fast walking five times a week isn't that much. Yes, I know that what we eat also plays a huge part in the physical results we get. But it is always hard to establish more than one habit at a time. That is a key thing to note if you've tried things and failed before: for better results, try to just do ONE MAJOR HABIT CHANGE AT A TIME.
Getting physically active, like lots of things, often depends on whether or not we see this stuff as an important part of creating the life we want and for moving toward our sense of meaning and purpose.
Course, how we go about building the fast-moving-habit is entirely negotiable, whether its essential to our present and future health and well-being is not.

According to information supplied by a navigator who formely flew many secret strategic reconnaissance missions for the US Navy when the areas of the Soviet Union were clouded over. The source was frequently assigned to fly to various locations around the world to help indigenous [military] personnel (who did not have access to their own aircraft) conduct UFO investigations. Many of these missions were to South America.
The final reports were flown back with them to Turkey [Adana] and then sent back to the Pentagon (apparently not to Project Blue Book) in Washington, DC, through Olso, Norway. When asked why they were sent via this [unusual] route, he replied, 'For diplomatic purposes.' They were classified 'Secret' before being forwarded.
'Back in those days' the source told researchers William Jones and Dr Irena Scott, 'UFOs were considered to be a very important matter.
Strategic UFO reconnaissance missions, indigenous military personnel.
A scientist in a government agency met with the pilot, showed his credentials, unlocked a display case and took out some [UFO] photographs. 'Was it like any of these?' he asked. At the third photo, the pilot recognized the same type of craft he and the othe crew members had seen. (3)
Originally in Major Donald Keyhoe's Flying Saucers: Top Secret. Followed up by NICAP conducting an interview with the pilot to glean further details. (3)
May 1951. Officer of naval intelligence had a binder holding photographs of UFOs intercepted with what appeared to be printed material. (13/P.138-139)
"The photographs go to Washington. In addition one copy of each print will be forwarded to ATIC, and one to us here at headquarters." --Captain Cybulski. June 1954 commanders' conference briefing for the 4602d AISS. (2)
As witnesses included two USAF colonels, two sergeants and dozens of base personnel observed the craft before it took off with a 'whirring' sound. Air Force Intelligence officers and CIA experts allegedly arrived at the scene from Washington, DC, and all the base personnel were assembled in a hangar, debriefed and then sworn to secrecy. A cable from the evaluation team to the Pentagon stated that the craft was 'definitely not any type of aircraft under development by the US or any foreign terrestrial power'.
Clark C. McClelland, a young designer woking for the Titan II Launch Operations Team Hangar 'U.'
Several hours after the objects [UFOs] departed their single orbit rendezvous with the Gemini capsule, says McClelland, a shadowy group of personnel arrived on the scene.
"One thing was certain, this group was at the Cape for no other reason than the Gemini/Titan mission and its guests ...They wore no uniforms yet acted as if they were in the military. They spoke of returning to Washington, DC ..."
Teams of officers assigned to the Washington, D.C., area would fly into Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on commercial flights and then deploy on military aircraft. Their missions, according to Exon, were to investigate UFO sightings.
"Well, the way this happened to me was that I would get a call and say that the crew or team was leaving and they knew...There was such and such a time and they wanted an airplane and pilots to take X number of people to wherever...They might be gone two or three days or might be gone a week."
Testimony of Brigadier General Arthur Exon base commander at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base during the mid-1960s. (2)
Special Agents from the [Air Force] Office of Special Investigations interviewed the technicians.
According to a message relayed from the New York Times office in Tokyo to the TOA Airlines office, a group of 'flying saucer experts' from the US Defense Department, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Palmar Observatory (California) was being sent to Japan to interview [Captain Yoshiharu] Inaba and [Tokyo Airlines Piper Apache pilot, Joji] Negishi. 'The American mission is believed to be interested in the case,' it was reported, 'because there have been several mysterious aviation accidents and flying saucers might have been involved.'
"There are rumours that many aerospace companies are conducting their own secret studies of UFOs."

Merle S. McDow. US Navy's Atlantic Command Support Facility. Later, two men in suits arrived and confiscated all records, including tape and written logs, and Questioned McDow, warning him in an intimidating manner never to disclose what he had heard or seen to his colleagues or to anyone off-base.
He [Dick D'Amato (C. Richard D'Amato)] gave me a Capital Building address at which to meet him.
It is known that D'Amato has had private discussions with select researchers where he has detailed that there is a black arm of secrecy over the subject- and that money is being secretly appropriated to projects related to Roswell. D'Amato indicates that he does not know where the wreckage is now, and that it is such a covert project that even with subpoena power he could not penetrate these operations.

Katherine Francovich.
Linda Howe asked Francovich if she went back to that spot later. She said that she and the dogs went back the next day and had a different kind of encounter.
"I had my dogs, was running them, and low and behold, here comes this black car, right at me in the grove. Government plates. It pulled up next to me. Two fellows sitting in the front seats, both had on black suits. The one sitting nearest to me on the passenger side said, 'Have you ever seen anything strange in this grove?' And I wasn't about to tell him or anybody else what I'd seen.'"
Francovich said that the man gave her a business card that had a raised gold emblem of the White House on it, but no other information that would connect them to a particular agency. After a brief conversation, they drove away. Francovich was left with the impression that these men already knew about the beings and were mainly trying to determine if she knew anything.

The following is testimony from Lyle Jepson, Dean of Entrepreneurial Programs at Castleton University and Director of Rutland Economic Development Corporation, in front of the Vermont House Committee on Education on January 17, 2017.
Today I will ask you to prioritize economic growth and population growth in your decisions about education policy.
Castleton University believes that higher education is an economic driver. That belief is exemplified in Castleton's growth into the Rutland region. The purchase and repurposing of Spartan Arena, the upcoming construction of the Spartan Dome, the introduction of three art galleries in the City's downtown, the location of the Castleton Polling Institute, creation of the Center for Entrepreneurial Programs, the daily work being undertaken to connect business and industry with University interns, and most recently, and the opening of student housing in downtown Rutland, directly enhance our region's ability to attract and retain a workforce that is vitally needed for our continued economic recovery.
Because of Castleton's leadership and, specifically, President David Wolk's vision, Rutland Economic Development Corporation requested that Castleton University lead the County's economic development efforts. Castleton University and Rutland Economic Development Corporation now share one roof and blur the lines between education and training and economic development.
Vermont is at a critical economic tipping point. We have learned that employers have unfilled jobs. Access to skilled workers is an urgent need. Our workforce is aging. Families are having fewer children.
Our education policy is in the process of catching up to these changes. Agencies and departments – including education and economic development – need:
- a common understanding of Vermont's most urgent problems, and
- common language to describe and measure outcomes.
We need to make sure that the puzzle pieces fit and that the policy decisions that are made reflect the need to increase Vermont's population. We need to link economic growth with population growth.
For discussion purposes, I have attached three documents:
- population projections for Rutland County,
- a Regional Marketing Initiative Overview, and
- the Joint REDC / Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce Policy Report.
The Joint Policy Report connects Governor Scott's "Comprehensive Blueprint for Economic Growth" and the work that REDC and the RRCC will be supporting. Our primary focus is on population and economic growth through regulatory reform and workforce development. Within "Workforce," the importance of K-12 education, specifically technical education, is highlighted.
Castleton University, Rutland Economic Development Corporation and the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce will work closely with high school and college/university partners to connect education and employers with work based learning and internship opportunities.
We want you to:
- Support continued implementation of Act 46 school district restructuring and consolidation; we have too much supply and not enough demand.
- Require the Agency of Education to oversee consistent application of Act 77: Flexible Pathways within technical center service regions – and ideally, throughout the state;
- Require a common school calendar, common graduation requirements and equal access by all students to school choice within technical center service regions;
- Allow access to technical education beginning in 9th grade;
- Support statewide recruitment campaigns to bring back and retain young Vermonters or professionals with some link to Vermont (the state has begun such an effort but it is underfunded);
- Increase financial support for higher education as outlined by the Vermont State College system request; and
- Invite the Vermont Futures Project to present their data on workforce trends and needs. They have collected data that indicates the need for almost 11,000 new employees each year, every year, for the next 15 years in order to fill the workforce gap that has been created by an aging workforce and declining population.
Governor Scott will be judging decisions based upon:
- Affordability,
- Economic growth, and
- Protecting the most vulnerable.
By now you have heard from hard-working, committed professionals from across the state about:
- Career Pathways for Vermont's students in areas of high skill, high demand, and high paying jobs,
- Career Readiness,
- The importance of 3rd party validation of credentials that are valued by business and industry,
- The professional development needs of school leaders,
- Work-based learning,
- Dual enrollment,
- Act 166,
- Act 77,
- Proficiency-based graduation requirements,
- Standards-based assessment procedures,
- The need for a Talent Pipeline Management system that supports business and industry, and more…
All of the these initiatives are important, and the bottom line is that everyone wants very similar outcomes: a talented workforce that is benefiting from a strong economy and a workforce that is drawn to Vermont's cultural and adventure-based activities – a place they choose to live, work and play. In many ways, we are on the right track.
But Rutland County, in particular, is hard-hit by the declining population. This demographic change effects everything from property values to what schools can afford to offer their students.
In conclusion, I hope you have heard this message:
- Continue the initiatives that are underway – stay the course with Act 46 and Act 77,
- Eliminate any barriers facing students who wish to participate in technical education,
- Approve the request for an increase in funding for the Vermont State College system, and
- Ensure that all state agencies work together towards common goals. Today, by executive order, Governor Scott has aligned the Department of Labor and Agency of Commerce and Community Development. We applaud any and all efforts that will enhance efficiencies, communication and outcomes. We can not have isolated silos of responsibility and expect positive outcomes.
In Rutland, our goal is to collaborate in innovative and bold ways. We believe that economic growth and population growth are inextricably linked to each other, and to Vermont's success. If our population grows, and the result of that is economic growth, we will no longer be burdened by re-slicing the state's budgetary pie. We will have a bigger pie to slice.
I urge you to consider whether your future decisions will support population growth. It is such growth that will spur economic development, bolster property values, increase state revenues, and allow us to provide the comprehensive educational programming that all of our children need and deserve.

Your family's seeking the occasions, and you recall what happened a year ago. One individual got lost in transit from the air terminal, another never appeared to be ready to discover not too bad stopping, and another had an extreme time exploring a new city. Why not extra you and your friends and family any occasion bothers or contending over how to get from here to there by contracting an occasion transportation organization to do the driving for you? You can mail on email@example.com
It should be fun amid the Christmas season to see your loved ones. You need to have the capacity to go out together and take a gander at occasion lights, or take in an occasion show, or simply get out to supper together. Investigating limousine heads out permits you to make the most of your time together, instead of stressing over processions, stopping and other transportation-related bothers.
One noteworthy favorable position is that you'll have the capacity to travel together. Possibly a few people will touch base at the air terminal in a nearby time span. Having airplane terminal limousine transportation takes care of such a variety of potential issues and begins the Christmas season off with grins and stretch free travel.

This is kind of interesting about German real estate. Most people live in apartments which mixes things up a bit. Here's why:
- When an apartment is unfurnished it is really unfurnished. No sink in the kitchen, no lights in the sockets, and no paint on the walls. Some of them have EBK, or a small built in kitchen.
- Also real estate agents seem to focus as much on renting out apartments as they do on selling homes.
Another housing note: You can get an apartment cold or warm meter. Cold means you pay the electric and water each month according to how much you use. Warm means that you opt for an average and take a steady monthly payment. We think we have found the place we want to stay at which has an excellent location, although it is small.

I love this guy!
First off, he is pretty much playing for the gay team. Has rugged looks (check out those furry pecs) and well, he smells sooooo good. Like a dude after a hard workout.
He has this hint of musk that turns me on. I tend to love the way guys smell naturally, and though most of my friends think it's a turn-off, I dig it. Every time I got close to him with the video camera, I would boner up.
Vander has very easy going personality but tends to be a little more of a bossy top in bed.
He's got a big cock on him too! It's crazy thick.
He says he is willing to do more, but I wanna check out how he does with an oral video with one of the straight guys, so stay tuned for more!

Revised Spring 2008~buddy
A commitment, whether it is in a marriage, a business partnership, school, or in many other aspects of life is a big word for these who truly believe in it's meaning. Commitment enhances friendship with people who commit to helping in a time of need (#), family, people who either by blood or marriage commit to taking care of another person (#), and hard work to bring about a change or view (#).
People use commitment to pledge themselves to doing something. These pledges show other people that a person is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. These pledges, if not followed or made, will ensure that nothing gets done. Whether for good or bad, commitment is an essential part of everyday life.
I once had a friend whose parents faced many issues that questioned the importance of commitment. The father was abusive to the mother but not to the children. The mother stayed in the marriage for the sake of her children, believing that if her kids were unharmed, it would be better to remain committed to the relationship. This would allow her kids to have their father in their lives without creating a broken home. As the kids grew up, they realized what the mother was sacrificing. The family realized that commitment without the right reasons is not always good.
Commitment however, is more often a good thing than bad. People in society who commit to helping each other get things done and promoting the concepts of humanity and responsibility. Commitment to an employer ensures that an individual will be at work everyday and when family member needs help, someone is there for them because of it. In these cases as well as others, society needs commitment. Without commitment, society would have numerous problems with no one to address them and people would be forced to address their problems alone. Thankfully, surrounding us today are countless amounts of people who are willing to commit.
My grandparents have been happily married for more than fifty years. Together they have committed themselves to one another for so many years while still committing to other aspects in each of their lives. They have committed themselves to working hard for different companies in exchange for a paycheck. With this paycheck they have turned around and committed themselves to paying bills, helping to support their family as well as themselves.
Like my grandparents, many others share this type of commitment in many aspects of their life. With the money earned from hard working my grandparents were able to pay bills to the companies that they are contracted with. They pay the companies, the companies do there serves. These services are gas, power, pluming just to name a few. In addition, each of these companies individually commit themselves to providing a quality service.
Commitment is the promise that we make to do what is right. Without conscious effort however, commitment is only a word. It is our job as individuals, to recognize our own commitments and do our best to better society as a whole. Commitment is the promise to help that person standing on the side of the road who is unable to find a job. It is the pledge to be there for anyone in need and stand by the promises we make. Together, with commitment we can make the world a better place!
As a society, we should commit ourselves as a whole for the common welfare of the community we exist in. Without these commitments, we would not be able to exist as a community. For this reason, commitment is absolutely essential to our lives.
Commitment is needed to ensure people feel loved, people are taken care of, that people find someone that they love; commitment is something that overall everyone needs. People need to cooperate (#) with each other to better one another. Need to have honesty (#) with whom you want to commit to and hope for the same back. Also people should have an understanding of what commitment means to them (#). A person must understand that commitment is a huge responsibility and has a huge affect on people.

512 - Mitchell - I've watched this episode more than any other in the series. There isn't a friend I have that I haven't shown this episode to and they've all cried tears of laughter with me as we watched it. It's an excellent choice for Joel to ride off into the sunset with. "Is that Linda Evans!?" said with disgust by the father of one of my friends as he walked into the room during the sex scene.
Showing this episode to friends did illustrate flaw in this otherwise excellent show. The host segments completely kill the comedic momentum of the riffs. Not being fans of the series, my friends never cared about Gypsy's quest to save Joel or the need to explain Joel's departure and replacement. And, to be honest, the host segments in this particular episode are probably -- due to their utilitarian origins, no doubt -- the least funny of the entire series so far. They're a buzzkill and I could always sense the disappointment in the room when they started. What I should do is make a host segment-free version for such occasions in the future.
The funniest riffing in this episode is done in my favorite style. Whenever JatB create a persona for one of the movie's characters, it always generates excellent jokes. The out-of-shape, panting, constantly hungry, alcoholic, not-too-bright personality they imbue into Mitchell makes this episode what it is. Pure comedy. Obscure references optional.
Joel's last word: "Goodbye!" Depending on how you count it, Joel was trapped on the Satellite of Love for 1795 days (4 years, 11 months) and watched 107 movies (98 unique movies) and 36 shorts, or he was trapped for 1436 days (3 years, 11 months, 6 days) and watched 86 movies and 36 shorts. Either way, that's a long haul. I'm going to miss him. I loved his paternal relationship with the bots. I loved his goofy sense of humor and his sleepy-eyed delivery. I loved the sense of morality he brought to the show. He's the papa of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and the next six months-worth of episodes just won't be the same without him.
Well, 7 Faces of Dr. Lao has been put in the Netflix queue. This is the real name of Joel's favorite movie and goodbye plaque source The Circus of Dr. Lao. It's in line there right next to his other favorite movie Colossus: The Forbin Project. It's the least I can do. Thanks Joel for all the laughs.

The Montana Historical Society: Montana's Museum
Montana's natural beauty has been a dramatic backdrop for 12,000 years of human history on this magnificent land. Montana's Museum is where history and land come together in the story of the people who have called Montana home. Located near the State Capitol in Helena, the museum is an essential part of a meaningful travel experience in Montana. The museum's Montana Homeland exhibit tells the adventure that is Montana from the earliest pictographs and stone tools found in Montana, to the coming of Lewis and Clark and the mountain men, to the miners and homesteaders.
The Society's renowned Mackay Gallery of C. M. Russell Art is a feast for the eyes of any who love Montana and the West. Russell's masterpiece "When the Land Belonged to God" and his seminal "Waiting for a Chinook" are among the many works that vividly recall those who adventured in this land. The Society's F. Jay Haynes collection is by far the best photographic record of early Montana and the world-famous Yellowstone National Park. Haynes was the Northern Pacific Railroad's, as well as the Yellowstone Park's, official photographer, and his work spans Montana history from the 1870's into the 1920's. Each year the museum's changing exhibit gallery features different aspects of the Society's collection and Montana's history.
The Montana Historical Society was founded in 1865 by Montana's first Territorial Legislature, making it the oldest such institution west of the Mississippi still in existence (minus Louisana). In addition to the museum, the Society's headquarters is also home to the state's Historical Library, document and photo archives, and the State Historic Preservation Office. It is a researcher's paradise, from genealogist to academic historian. The Society's Publications Office produces the national award-winning Montana: Magazine of Western History and contemporary books on Montana and the West.

Take your Stand Up Paddleboard with you as you bike up to Sheilds Lake, or explore the countless nooks and cranies of thetis lake by canoe with a friend. Spend an early morning fishing at the far end of Matheson Lake, or admire the lilly pads at Glen Lake.
Paddling on still freshwaters is a great way to really get to know a lake. It offers the chance to get away from the crowd and to see parts of the lake you can't from the shoreline. Victoria, Sooke and Saanich have many small lakes that are ideal for an afternoon picnic, fishing with a friend in the fall or just exploring a new place.
The Secret Lakes of Southern Vancouver Island Guidebook lists many destinations for paddlers of all sorts – and in some cases you might not even need your own boat!

University of Kansas
Jayhawks ready to face 'big' challenge in Purdue
KU's early thoughts on Purdue: 'They're huge'
Kansas junior forward Dwight Coleby will know just about everything there is to know about Purdue's basketball team prior to Thursday night's NCAA Midwest Region Sweet 16 contest at the Sprint Center.
Minus a detailed scouting report, which will be presented to the Jayhawks by KU coach Bill Self this week, Coleby still was able to brief media members on the Big Ten regular-season champs after KU's 90-70 second-round NCAA Tournament victory over Michigan State on Sunday in Tulsa, Okla.
"Just big," Coleby said of the Boilermakers (27-7), the No. 4 seed in the region, who went 14-4 in the Big Ten in 2016-17.
"We know they are huge," added the 6-foot-9, 240-pound Coleby, who came up big with three points, four rebounds and a steal while playing 9 minutes in the second half of the top-seeded Jayhawks' win over the ninth-seeded Spartans.
The biggest Boilermakers are 6-9, 250-pound sophomore forward Caleb Swanigan and 7-2, 290-pound junior center Isaac Haas.
Swanigan, who averages 18.5 points and 12.6 rebounds in 32.5 minutes per game, scored 20 points with 12 rebounds and seven assists while playing 34 minutes in Saturday's 80-76 second-round victory over Iowa State. Swanigan, the Big Ten's player of the year, has made 52.7 percent of his shots, including 35 of 81 threes for 43.2 percent. He also has 103 assists to 112 turnovers.
Haas, who has started 15 games and come off the bench in the rest, scored 14 points and grabbed three rebounds against the Cyclones. For the year, he has averaged 12.6 points (on 58.8 percent shooting) and 5.1 rebounds.
Swanigan on Sunday was announced as a finalist for the Naismith Trophy as national player of the year with KU's Frank Mason, UCLA's Lonzo Ball and Villanova's Josh Hart.
"I haven't seen him much," Coleby said of Swanigan. "I watched two games all season. He's a great player. We've got to find a way to stop them and come out with a win."
Self said Sunday the Jayhawks would work on some of the scouting on Monday and return to full practice on Tuesday. After Tuesday's workout, the Jayhawks will head to their team headquarters, the Westin Crown Center Hotel. KU will practice from 3:10 to 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Sprint Center. The practice is open to the public. Tipoff for Thursday's game will be approximately 8:40 p.m., or 30 minutes after a Sweet 16 game between Oregon and Michigan at 6:09 p.m.
"That is a different animal. We haven't seen that this year, a team that plays through their bigs. That's how they play. Certainly they are really good at it," Self said.
He added, "They can shoot it from all spots." Purdue has made 48.1 percent of its shots, 40.4 percent of its threes and 75.9 percent of its free throws.
"When they play the two bigs together (Swanigan, Haas) it's a different look than what we've seen all year long," Self said. "When they play one (Swanigan) he's hardest to guard because they've got four shooters around him. We've got to come up with a game plan."
Self and several of the Jayhawks were able to watch the Iowa State-Purdue game on Saturday night.
"I probably saw 80 percent of it," Self said. Purdue squandered a 19-point lead and trailed by two with 3 minutes left before 5-10 junior guard P.J. Thompson hit a three to put the Boilermakers back on top, 74-73. Swanigan and Vince Edwards — a 6-8, 225 junior who had 21 points, 10 rebounds and four assists against Iowa State — both scored to give Purdue a 78-73 lead with 1:36 left.
"I was really impressed because when you think of it right now going into it, they've got some guys that we haven't seen down low yet," Self said. "We haven't gone against an inside presence scoring like Caleb, and of course the big fellow off the bench. So we've got to come up with a way to eliminate post touches and still get to their shooters because they can stretch it from all the spots to the perimeter."
Self pointed out Purdue had 27 assists on 31 baskets against the Cyclones. Like Swanigan, combo guard Dakota Mathias (6-4 junior) had seven assists.
"There's nobody that would execute in the half court or share the ball any better than that. So obviously we gotta do a great job getting the shooters," Self said.
Swanigan's name will be mentioned plenty in days leading up to the game, that's for sure. His nickname "Biggie" was given to him by an aunt several years ago.
"Swanigan is a load," said KU sophomore forward Carlton Bragg. "He'll be a big challenge for us. He can pretty much do everything. He had seven assists as well. For a big guy, that's pretty good."
Bragg, who had one rebound and three fouls in 5 minutes against Michigan State, said he was impressed with the inside play of teammate Coleby.
"It comes down to playing your role like tonight," Bragg said Sunday. "Dwight had an awesome game tonight. I'm proud of my boy. Coach called his number. We need energy coming off the bench."
Coleby, who now has played 9, 7 and 6 minutes in KU's last three games, said he's always ready.
"Be locked in the game, don't be sidetracked, don't let other things influence me, just stay focused," Coleby said of his keys to success.
He experienced a touching moment after the contest when KU coach Self approached him in the locker room.
"(He said) that he was proud of me and I deserved this moment," said Coleby, who this season has been slow to recover from ACL surgery that had him sidelined his entire redshirt season of 2015-16 — one that followed his transfer from Mississippi.
"He works hard. I'm proud of him," Bragg added of his fellow big.
Purdue ready for road challenge
Edwards said the Boilermakers look forward to playing at the Sprint Center, despite all the KU fans that will be in the building.
"There's no better feeling than when it's a place when all the hostility's against you," Edwards told the Indianapolis Star, predicting an "us against the world" environment to the newspaper.
"It's a huge environment to be in, and to have all that adversity and everything, to come away with the win and hear silence as you walk out of a gym is an amazing feeling."
"We enjoy playing on the road," junior guard Dakota Mathias told the Indy Star. "We like all the boos and the hatred coming towards us. We've won in a lot of hostile environments, a lot of big-time places, so this isn't going to be any different."
Garrett honored by Gatorade
Kansas signee Marcus Garrett, a 6-5 senior combo guard from Dallas Skyline High School, on Monday was chosen the Gatorade Texas Boys Basketball Player of the Year.
Garrett, who is ranked No. 37 in the Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, averaged 17.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists a game for Skyline (34-2), which lost in the Class 6A state semifinals. He had 12 triple doubles and 32 double doubles.

Kensu was a known scoundrel. Although few of his fellow noblemen would call him a villain. According to Kensu's social circle villains were low born, disgusting and crass. Kensu on the other hand was born with title. He could be charming, and he was handsome. In the city of Dragonsram, Kensu also had the good luck to be an a respected outsider, and thus managing to have his foot on the threshold while being above the petty feuds and prejudices of the powerful families. Kensu succeeded in using his charisma, guile and comely appearance to turn his noble acquaintanceship into social and economic opportunity. His persona was one of a dashingly simple figure that touched on the urban nobility's nostalgic romances regarding the rural aristocracy. He used outmoded and overly formal greetings and dressed in fine but old style country garb. The rumors that he was no stranger to common houses, brothels and gambling stalls only added to the romance of his character: at least among the young nobility of his own age. It was commonly held wisdom that young men of noble birth needed to be indulged in their youth in order obtain disciplined in adulthood. Kensu's scoundrel status was believed by many of the peerage, among which he was very popular, to be the result of youthful innocence or naivety.
Kensu didn't understand innocence any more than a bear understands why the salmon run upstream. Like the bear and the salmon, Kensu knew just enough about the nature of innocence to exploit it. Eventually these liaisons and exploitations lead to an arranged marriage with the daughter of powerful family and a landed him significant dowery. Kensu had not only seduced the daughter to the family, but had managed to enamor his bride-to be's father and brothers. Thus, when Kensu gambled his wife's entire dowery on the Duke's sailing regatta, it was not only his wife that felt betrayed but her brothers as well.
To be fair, Kensu still intended to marry the girl. He just now needed more money to keep the Lord's daughter in the life-style with which she was accustomed. When Kensu explained this to his almost brother-in-laws they berated him with insults and attacks. The argument eventually grew into a violent exchange with Kensu rejecting their sister out right and insulting the family publicly. The family's honor demanded blood and Kensu had no friends left in the city. So it came to be that Kensu was being pursued by his former fiances brothers through the streets of Dragonsram.
The chase occurred on a stormy summer's day. Rain came down in great cooling sheets and made the cobble stone slick, and the slightest piece of damp rubbish dangerous to man's footfalls. Kensu's pursuers had come prepared wearing running tunics, steel bracers and high laced soldier's sandal. Kensu was forced to run through the streets in a leisure robe and soft house sandal. He must have lost his feet a dozen times during the chase, falling into the closed up stalls and trash piles that went uncollected on storm days. Not only did the storm undercut his feet, but the rain had pushed all the people from the and their was no there were no crowds to hide Kensu.
Kensu had one advantage of over those men. Although they were born in Dragonsram, Kensu new the streets better, and he knew the town's secrets. He knew about the Glade of Innocence.
The Glade was beneath the great two faced stone bridge which joined the Duke's Ridge to the Dragon's ridge. The steep narrow canyon between the two ridges held Undertown. The small buildings of Undertown were made of scrap stones, cooper's rims and drift wood. These sad sparse house held tight to the steep hillside like ticks and the little alleys that moved around these shanty house had more cracks and turns than the hands of an old stone mason. The canyon narrowed at the Ram's Heart river, which by the time it flowed past the first house of Undertown, was already a sewer. Just Beneath the Dragon's face of the bridge, there was a little grove of innocence flowers: the glade. The glade was located at the site of ancient Fort of the Dragon Worshippers. I knew this site as well, for over a decade ago it was me and my mason brothers which a gathered and repurposed the stone of the Fort in order to build the great two headed bridge. It was there that I first encountered the flowers. The flowers are enchanted, or at least they enchant some. The aroma of the flowers turns the stars of pain and time back in people. It puts them under the sky of their childhood. When somebody who once possessed a state of purity smells the flowers, then regain that purity for a while. They become innocent again. The flowers make people hopeful, trustful and naive. At least that is what it does for most people. For men like Kensu they are just flowers and for men like me they an irresistible call. I am drawn to them every chance I get, but for me they never bestow the promised state of innocence. Perhaps because I never had any innocence.
A accomplished patron of vice like Kensu new the glade well, for the prostitutes and whores of Undertown loved to adorn their lapels with the enchanted and stunning blossoms. Indeed today, on the day when Kensu ran, despite the cool air, grey sky and work stopping rain the flowers were in full bloom. Kensu had not planned to lead his former friends and almost brother-in-laws to the glade, he had planned to pick the winner of the Regatta but things had not gone as he had expected. And even though Kensu did not understand innocence, he hoped the flowers would force an innocence upon his pursuers, and that they would spare his life.
Kensu in truth had never known innocence. He had killed his mother while she birthed him and at the age of two his said to have pulled out the eye of his baby half sister. While he remembers neither of these acts his father never forgot nor forgave nor understood. His father judged. Thus Kensu had become use to feelings of guilt and shame, expecting only condemnation from his loved ones, and thus never seeking to avoid it. Perhaps this is why the flowers had no effect on him.
As I said the flowers never effected me as they did others as well. Thus my understand of their nature is only craftsman's guess, but the flowers enchantment appears restore the ideology of child hood to who ever inhaled their fragrance. Those who breathed the flower regained a lost innocence that was perhaps hope or joy. I could not say, because although the flowers did touch; their touch was different to me. I could smell the flowers as soon as I came to the city, and I was drawn to them But to often the guild kept me away, cutting stone for the new amphitheater. But not today, the rain had taken away our labor and I found myself drawn to the glade. I needed to find innocence again, I needed to forget about the black hand of death that laid for ever on my shoulder and I knew. I knew without explanation that today I must go to the glade to find that innocence, to the find a women that could reveal to me that innocence.
When Kensu's would-be murders finally caught up to him he was standing the middle of the slopping glade, grey rain raking his face and a flower held to his nose. The prostitutes were aligned around the upper shore in little tents. Stone masons and whores it seemed only worked when the weather was dry. An odd fact it seemed since we both had to wet our labors before working. Kensu stood still, leaning against a poorly cut 20 ton load stone that had been discarded when we were building the bridge. His attackers rushed him, but always the gambler Kensu played the only card he had. "Wait, brothers please." he yelled pleadingly. I saw them pause from my perch between a refuse pile and shanty home behind the women. The angry noblemen's eyes bulged and their faces relaxed. One seem to grow very uncomfortable in the rain. Kensu like myself never felt anything but nausea in the glade, while most love the smell of innocence flowers, Kensu found the odor unnerving. But he could tell the flowers had worked on his attackers.
"I am sorry, it was a terrible error. I love your sister so much more than my life and only wished to provide for her better. I have talked to my father, and he will give the sum of the dowry." This was a lie, despite his title, Kensu's father was poor. Indeed Kensu told me I have more money in my purse than the his father has coins in his entire estate. From my perch I could see the lie, but among the flowers his bride's brothers could not. They were innocent again. Kensu knew who how to pray on other's innocence. He shook their hands, smiled warmly and yelled loving promises after them when they left.
As the men left the glade I found my query. A young girl, a sprig of life. I descended on her as she made water behind a shed. I cracked the back of her head with my awl, then used to split her ribs before I spread her chest apart with hands made strong by years of cutting stone. I was fast and her heart still beat. Around her neck were a string of flowers and she smiled a bit, as I watched her heart die. Just as every time previous the sight of a young woman's heart stopping pushed the hand oft death off my shoulder. I felt alive and safe again. Unfortunately when Kensu came around the corner and saw me in my private scene I had to take him too. He laid out his entire life story as he pleaded, but in the end the only innocence I could offer him was death.

The Goodwill Good Style Fashion Show was last night and it was incredible! This was my second year curating a collection, styling the models, choosing the hair and make-up and watching the vision come alive on the runway. Last year was much more chaotic and stressful, but this year, was super organized and incredible. The Aveda students stepped up their game and made all the ladies look stunning. There was serious magic being created backstage. We all had so much fun!
My models totally nailed it on the runway. Mostly thanks to the incredible runway coach from Elite Model Management. He was helpful and very encouraging. They totally owned it.
The theme was loosely "boho", but I think it was much more "light weight summer hippie". My main goal was to allow everyone to step out of their comfort zones of style and try something new. Whether it was their hair, make-up, or outfit, I wanted it to feel like an experience. And it very much so was! I had different visions for everyone's hair based on their length, but mostly, I wanted messy, big, and wavy hair.
I was interviewed for a radio show on camera! It was terrifying, but the lady that interviewed me was amazingly awesome and put my nerves at ease. Hopefully I can find that and all the other posts on the event soon. I was so thrilled to be able to snap some photos of the models outside and document the outfits. A lot of my models are bloggers, so check out their blogs for full outfit posts (hopefully).
It was such an honor to be a part of an event for such a great company with a great mission. A huge thank you to the staff of Goodwill for putting on such a great event and for having me! Go out and support your local Goodwill.
I was also able to meet a lot of really great Clevelander's. Y'all should check out this post with some photos of the event.

It is becoming more and more common for businesses to partner up with one another. As there are now a larger number of small businesses than before, it makes sense to create a mutually beneficial partnership with one another. Nonetheless, this venture is not without its own set of risks. Choosing to join up with an organization that is simply not compatible with yours could result in multiple issues for both parties. Fortunately, you don't have to blindly enter an agreement. There are several tactics that you can utilize to end up in a more desirable position. Here are some tips to use:
Remain Within Your Industry
One of the main reasons to have a partnership is to expand on the goods or services that you provide to your clients. In doing so, however, it is important not to venture too far from your own industry. For instance, if you are a paper company, it is best to seek partners who have something to do with ink. While it is a good idea to diversify, you are more likely to be successful if you remain within certain perimeters. First, it helps you provide you customers with something that they actually require. It also ensures that you have some knowledge or experience in the business that you will be joining. This will become quite important in the future.
Thoroughly Investigate the Company
It is quite likely that you will stumble upon a particular business after hearing about them from certain sources. Word of mouth sources or learning about businesses via the media lets you know that the organization has created a good reputation for themselves. While it is a good start, it is not nearly enough to warrant partnering up with another establishment. What you need to convince you is an ASIC company extract. This will give you a closer look at all of the individuals involved in that organization, including the shareholders. You should also get access to numerous documents pertaining to that business. This is a more reliable method of evaluating the processes of the company.
Determine Compatibility
Above, the importance of remaining within the industry for compatibility's sake was discussed. It does go one step further than that, however. You will need to figure out whether the businesses can get along on a more personal level as well. There are a few ways to conclude this. One of these is to look at the core values of the businesses. Are they similar? Do both organizations want the same results? It is also important to see if the people themselves get along. Are you comfortable with the individuals? Is it easy to carry a conversation or be around them?
Have a Trial Run
In the end, however, nothing can really compare to a trial run of the partnership. Discuss what an adequate trial period would be for both parties. Then, try working together with one another to see if it can be managed. Remember, there are bound to be some rough spots in the beginning so it is vital not to give up right away. Nonetheless, if at the end of the trial period you feel that the partnership is not right for you or your organization, it is best to call it quits.
Follow these guidelines to ensure that you are better equipped to build a partnership that is right for you. This way, you will be less likely to regret it later on.

Jo and I upgraded our iPhones to the new iPhone 3GS. I basically had to after spilling wine on my original iPhone and it finally died for good, with impeccable timing, seeing how the new iPhone just came out. So the new iPhones have GPS and with the application RunKeeper, you can keep track of your runs. It's very cool. Check this out.
Jo and I basically walk from our condo up to a school a few blocks away and run 3 miles or so on the track. The application keeps track of distance, speed, calories burned, altitude changes, and the duration of the run. You just start the application on your iPhone before you start your run and stop it when your done. The application uploads your data to the web site and you login to view the details. Technology is amazing.

Hi everyone! Well, we are officially under contract, and due to close June 15th! We can't wait to be in Virginia...home, sweet home!
So this is the house we fell in love with.
This is our first resale home we've ever bought. We usually buy new to ensure things are under warranty and turn key, so this is new for us.
It's an all brick house, 3 levels, completely finished.
The house is surrounded by plenty of trees on rolling hills.
It has a maintenance free deck.
The grounds are beautiful.
It even has a climate controlled wine cellar, and I barely drink, y'all!
Come on in...
I wonder if the wine comes with the house, lol! Probably not!
It was 56 degrees when we walked in.
This house has lots of heavy trim work, which we love and have always wanted.
Check out the huge Palladian windows in the living room.
The staircase splits the master bedroom from the rest of the rooms.
Here is the mudroom. I don't even know what to do with this space, but I'm sure once I'm in, the ideas will start coming.
Here is the staircase.
The family room is a step down and the whole main level is all hardwood flooring.
Here is the office.
This house needs some minor updating, which will lead to some fun projects.
So there you have it, our house to be. More pictures to come...
***Maybe I'll call my blog...the Colonial Home! :)
***Maybe I'll call my blog...the Colonial Home! :)
On a sad note, I lost my father two weeks ago, today. If you all wouldn't mind keeping my family in prayer, I would really appreciate it. We will have the funeral in 2-3 weeks, and then our move, it's a lot to handle all at once, sniff!
Thanks for visiting! xo, Liz
