Due to a family emergency, I missed posting this yesterday, but the sentiment remains the same.
2016 was a fairly good year for me as a writer. I made a bit of money, and managed to put out two books. Better yet, I managed to get a few enthusiastic reviews and had some enjoyable dialogue with people who have read my work. I even had a person put up their amazon review of my work on the US and UK sites, which is super nice (why Amazon does not collect all reviews for all marketplaces is beyond me).
Joining the Friends of Vocamus press genre writer's circle in 2016 has been a boon as well. I have been to two of the monthly meetings and learned some interesting things about the local writing scene as well as some useful promotional ideas.
What I failed to do in 2016 (aside from convince people that voting for Cheeto Jesus is a bad, bad idea) is adequately promote and market my work. I have had a decent year with Twitter, but could drive more people to my blog and Facebook page. With eight books under my belt, and decent reception from people who read them, it is time to figure out marketing and social media (while keeping my soul and dignity intact).
Considering this has got me thinking about what I can do to improve my writing and book promotion in 2016, aside from the obvious improving of the fundamentals. Here are my writers resolutions for 2016.
- Promote my summer release on at least five secondary book sites: This requires money and the ability to schedule in advance. Secondary book sites, places like Bookbub, can drive a lot of traffic toward your sales and book releases. I would like to explore these for my next major release.
- Learn to type: I have written and published over 800k words and I do not know how to type. W T F. I could save myself so much time here.
- Put more effort into adwords and facebook ads: My third resolution is a bit more complex. Both adwords and facebook ads are very, very tunable. As an amateur user I can put in quite a bit more time learning the ins and outs of these systems to get more bang for my buck. One of the suggestions from my author circle that I wanted to try was concentrating add buys on the weekend instead of running the same amount every day of the week.
Simple stuff, but also time consuming…
As for what is up for release this year, I am starting the first draft of the seventh Domains of the Chosen novel after I post this (2017 and I am already 1500 words behind… yay). I am also working on the third Shadow Wolf novella, which should release in the fall.
If I have enough time and energy I may re-release book one of the Domains series with a new cover and some additional information, but that seems overly ambitious for a year where I am taking on extra hours at my dayjob already.

just kidding it's not for sale, you could never afford it anyway.
One of a kind, vintage, original, prize offering chef don pea soup can
made when i was wee for the just kids nostalgia some-odd annual
auction catalog coloring contest. this was the prize for coloring the
supplied pull out poster of everyone's favorite chef (don).
the photos are courtesy of just kids proprietor ken farrell,
owner of can and archivist of contest submissions. maybe he'll scan
some and send them to me if hes not too busy. if you cant read it,
don is saying "move spoon", although it should read "move, spoon!"
and here for the first time i have added that comma, making it far more hilarious.
it is made with real peas, of course, and features nutrition facts that reads
"warning: do not eat!!!" (we should all know better by now than to eat anything
made by chef don). also, the barcode number is 415151515225525,
which i'm sure had a great deal of significance to my 12 year old self.
in other memorabilia news, i have designed a tote bag for the strand book store's first annual tote-bag design contest (fitting) and although it will not win, it is sure to be chronicled as some kind of memorabilia and here is the image of it. (nobody gets it)
finally, i have just this moment finished laying out the third issue of yoburbalino comics magazine #3
and will have copies ready as soon as tomorrow, and many more on hand for the upcoming northeast comics festivals.

The Redskins have bolstered their linebacking corps and special teams coverage units.
The club has reached a three-year deal with Buccaneers reserve linebacker Adam Hayward, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reported Tuesday.
An eighth-year pro, the 29-year-old Hayward has started 13 regular season games in his NFL career. Hayward (6-1, 240) projects to inside linebacker in Washington's 3-4 scheme and would also figure to be a core special teams player.

Stamped and Branded
Necklace, trousers and ring curtsy of Father Christmas (aka mother dearest). Top new look and cardigan Primark. Nails painted in collection 2000 crackle effect.
Sorry about the wrinkly trousers, I suppose that's what happens when you have been sitting around all day! Serves me right for being so lazy. The trousers are a lovely burgundy colour (my favourite colour this season). They haven't photographed very well but they look so nice in person.
My favourite part of the outfit has to be the necklace, growing up with a slightly unusual name I was always jealous of girls coming to school with their named accessories. Try finding a pen, bracelet ect with the name Tanesha on... it's not an easy task! So when I received this little beauty in my stocking I was more than chuffed! Thank you mummy =]
I'm not sure why I look so pasty and ill, I'm feeling fine I assure you.

So, I got from a family member one of those SUPER nice jewelry armoires that are free standing. Which was awesome, because those bad boys run anywhere from $200 to $500 on Amazon. I had it for a few years and it was great, because I could hoard some serious jewelry in it, especially when I worked for Charming Charlie.
I mean we are talking serious storage room. And every compartment you could dream of!
....and then one day this happened. My Toddler took it straight to the face, on Christmas Eve no less.
We are talking dented forehead, black eye, fat lip and other random bruising. LUCKILY it didn't fall on top of him. I never thought it would happen... those things are SUPER SUPER heavy, seriously it took two people to move it.
POOR GUY, so, obviously I had to do something. No more armoire, time for a built in closet jewelry display.
I forgot to take a before picture, but there was a tall 13 inch gap between where the door is and where my closet shelving actually starts, so I thought it would be a perfect spot. We are eventually going to do a massive closet overhaul but until then this would have to work.
We went to Lowes and purchased shelving wood and cut everything according to our measurements. We purchase 6 foot boards, and I made a single unit with 5 shelves. Two shelves are 1.5 feet and the others are 1 foot.
Anyone can do this project, but you do need the right tools, including:
- Table Saw
- Clamps
- Nail Gun
- Wood Glue
- Wood Screws
- Anchors (or Mollys whatever you call them)
- Level
- Wood Filler
- Sander
- Caulking
First: you need to make sure you finalize all of your measurements and cut all boards necessary!
Next starting with the top and bottom pieces. LEVEL LEVEL LEVEL, then glue the sides to each other. Clamp and use your nail gun. You will want a few clamps so you can work on a few pieces at a time. Our boards were a little warped so after we did the ends we focused on the more uneven sections.
Once your boards are fully set, remove the clamps and finish nailing where needed. We also added a small board under the first shelf and larger shelves then again on the bottom for easy wall installation. Those were also glued, clamped an nailed along the sides and top.
You can either use your wood filler here or you can wait until you mount your shelves, but remember you have to sand, so it just depends on where you want to clean up after you use your sander.
For wall installation, we measured where we wanted the shelves to go. LEVEL LEVEL LEVEL AGAIN. Mark where needed. We predrilled each back bar with a drill bit to mark where the anchor needed to be. After, we installed each anchor. Two for each piece (if you hit a stud you do not need an anchor, since this was such skinny piece no studs were hit). Put your unit back up and use the wood screws to attach the unit to the anchors. And viola its up and not going anywhere.
To make this a little prettier we caulked all of the edges that attached at the wall and used our trim paint for the shelf. Unfortunately this is new trim paint and our closet wasn't painted during the main update....but it will get a redo soon enough.
I used jewelry displays I purchased at JoAnn's Fabrics with a ton of coupons so I got them pretty cheap. However, you can find them on Amazon also (links below)
Large Necklace Holder: http://www.amazon.com/Darice-1999-084-3-Dimensional-Velvet-Jewelry/dp/B0039Z0Y40/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390872866&sr=8-2&keywords=jewelry+display
Smaller Necklace Holder: http://www.amazon.com/Velvet-Padded-Necklace-Pendant-Display/dp/B002HIBU9S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1390872866&sr=8-3&keywords=jewelry+display
Bracelet Holder: http://www.amazon.com/Velvet-Bracelet-Jewelry-Display-Bangle/dp/B003C7GFWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390872866&sr=8-1&keywords=jewelry+display
Hand Display: http://www.amazon.com/Darice-1999-1612-Polyresin-Bracelet-Display/dp/B003BS2WKO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1390872866&sr=8-8&keywords=jewelry+display
Amazon has many to choose from, I was just limited on size.
The best part about this project was going through and throwing lots and lots of old jewelry away!!!!
I thought the best way to organize would be to start on the bottom shelf with watches. Those are my son's favorite thing to play with and work my way up to things I don't want him to mess with. I did run out of room for extra small necklaces so I used small picture hooks that screw into the wall and mounted those in the bottom large box along the wall.
|Full view
|This is the top portion of the shelves.
|Lower portion.
Starting with the bottom working my way up...here is the up close view of each shelf.
|Bottom shelf - Watches
Next, hanging necklaces.
|Full view
|Hooks with hanging necklaces (Also this is one of the bars that is mounted to the wall)
|Smaller jewels
|This is one of two of the 1.5 feet openings
Middle Shelf
|These are my go to wear all the time favorite jewelry pieces. They are smack dab in the middle of the shelving unit for super easy access to wear.
Next shelf up:
|Larger Jewels and some perfume. I would really like to find a small mirror to hang behind this shelf (this is second of the 1.5 feet openings)
First top shelf - Bracelets and earrings
And Lastly the top of the shelving unit.
|Costume Jewelry
This was a fun project, it took a while but it is well worth it. Every piece of jewelry (except earrings) is seen and nothing will get lost. Plus, it will be easy to not hoard a bunch of jewelry anymore and help me keep everything organized. The goal is to make this simple and have my jewelry displayed.
P.S. If anyone finds any small mirrors I can either stick on or hang let me know!!!

The Dudhwa Tiger Reserve Road Trip.
A road trip to the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve is well worth the 430 odd km distance from Delhi. For it's the Tree of Life Jaagir Lodge that awaits at the end of the 9 plus hour journey. Which becomes the base for your safaris, local excursions, curated experiences and a place where can forget one's daily drudgery and play Lord of the Manor.
Dudhwa Tiger Reserve consists of verdant grasslands, dense 'sal' forests and swampy marshes. While the northern edge of the Park lies along the Indo-Nepal border, the River Suheli marks the southern boundary.
The Tree of Life Jaagir Lodge awaits at the end of a long but fulfilling drive. Set amidst sugarcane and mustard fields, this is a private heritage property, built in the 1940's and used by the British as a hunting lodge. You can imagine it to be your own private, luxurious manor with caring and attentive staff to attend to you !
A Tiger Reserve since 1879, Dudhwa became a National Park in 1977 and adopted the Project Tiger in 1988. Although the Tigers at the Park are numerous, sightings are can be a challenge – due to the thick sal forest cover of the area. Besides Tigers, Leopards, Hispid Hares, Swamp Deer (Barasingha) and Rhinos thrive amidst the vegetation. The reserve is also home to a major rhinoceros rehabilitation project which was started since these forests had been the habitat of the rhinoceros 150 years ago.
The birds at Dudhwa National Park in particular, are a delight for any avid bird watcher. The marshlands are especially inviting for about 400 species of resident and migratory birds including the Swamp Partridge, Great Slaty Woodpecker, Bengal Florican, plenty of painted storks, sarus cranes, owls, barbets, woodpeckers, minivets and many more. Much of the park's avian fauna is aquatic in nature, and is found around Dudhwa's lakes.
There are a host of curated experiences for you to choose from during your stay. Become One with the Earth where you ride a tractor and till the fields in the nearby village. Experience Sundowners at a special terrace space created at the edge of the marsh. Let the place work its magic to the accompaniment of your favourite beverages. Hop across the nearby Indo-Nepal border. Cross over and spend time at our neighbours' sampling local cuisine and shopping for trinkets.
Or ditch everything for our one-of-a-kind spa offering – one that includes a full-day couples' spa experience over a relaxed day at out spa location and its surrounds – all done at your own pace and time.
We're opening for the season November 16th onwards. That's pretty much the best time to experience the charms of the Tree of Life Jaagir Lodge and the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve. Don't miss out this chance to experience the joys of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve and the Tree of Life Jaagir Lodge.

New year resolution

LOL. The thank you note was purely good natured, an ingrained and disinterested look at the president as the caretaker and provider of the Egyptian people.
- 22 December 2007 at 13:53
- Forsoothsayer said...
great line, the out of office one.
- 23 December 2007 at 01:27
do you actually do anything vaguely useful to help these people? or do you ponce around from meeting to meeting to fill your empty life and use their suffering for your social gain?
- 26 December 2007 at 00:07
- Amnesiac said...
Actually you know what Raouf, I attended this by accident! I had my chauffeur take me to the Journalists' Syndicate because I thought it was a trade fair where I could buy a coloured kuffeyeh and blankets spun by orphans and 3 in 1 badges proclaiming my opposition to everything (colour coordinated with the kuffeyeh) before going home to my luxury palace in Qattameyya Heights and have my Indonesian cleaner polish my knees. On the plus side, I have added another cause to my collection!
The tone of your question clearly indicates that you already have me down for a cause-whore do-gooder. In the unlikely event that you are interested in a genuine answer, it would help if you could define the following:
1. Vaguely useful
2. 'These' people
3. Ponce around from meeting to meeting
4. Social gain
- 26 December 2007 at 00:40
- Forsoothsayer said...
i myself am particularly interested in the social gain angle. do you think she said to herself, "wow. i have nothing to do on new years'! why don't i go to this party thrown by some people who are going to lose their home - i hear they mix a great cosmopolitan!"
- 26 December 2007 at 16:58
no, i have you down as a person who uses Egypt to gain facebook buddies and very probably a life, by pretending to help poor people. I'm sure the natives are very appreciative.
- 26 December 2007 at 19:13
- Amnesiac said...
I notice that you have ignored my request that you clarify your original comment. Oh well. You're clearly not interested in communication and just want to bore us with a tirade against me, the colonialist.
Do you actually know:
1. What nationality I am?
2. What I do or do not do to 'help poor people'?
3. Why I was at the meeting in the first place?
Knowing this information might affect your judgement. Or it might not. I'm unsure what you've formed your opinion on the basis of,but with all respect, your comments are making you sound like a whiny, bitter, little moaner with an enormous chip on your shoulder about something.

From Speaker of the House, John Boehner:
Democrats have been "put in [a] tight spot" by their threats to tank our economy and harm our national security if they don't get a small business tax hike. A new Ernst & Young study found President Obama's plan threatens more than 700,000 American jobs – a frightening prospect for families after more than three years of failed 'stimulus' spending, excessive regulations, and unemployment above 8 percent.
Here's some of the coverage of the E&Y report, which shows how the president's tax hike plan…
- "…will lead to 710,000 fewer jobs and a decline in workers' living standards." (Washington Free Beacon, 7/17/12)
- "…could cost the already sputtering economy more than 700,000 jobs." (Yahoo News, 7/17/12)
- "…would have a dire effect on the economic recovery" and "would sap $200 billion and some 700,000 jobs out of the economy, reduce wages by 1.8 percent and lead to a decrease in investment." (The Hill, 7/17/12)
- "…will shrink the U.S. economy by 1.3 percent and cause 710,000 job losses, according to a new Ernst & Young report…" (Washington Examiner, 7/17/12)
- "…millions of small businesses could be forced to cut jobs and wages, placing an enormous strain on the already sluggish economic recovery…" (Washington Post, 7/18/12)
- "…the increased tax burden could fall heavily on small businesses that file their taxes in the individual code…" (National Journal, 7/17/12)
- "The U.S. would lose 710,000 jobs and economic output would decline by 1.3 percent, or $200 billion…" (Bloomberg News, 7/17/12)
President Obama had a message for small business job creators last weekend: "you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
But a small business tax hike that would destroy more than 700,000 American jobs? You did build that, Mr. President.
Click here to read more about the Republican plan to stop all of the tax hikes and lay the groundwork for a fairer, simpler tax code that closes loopholes, lowers rates for everyone, and helps bring home some of the jobs that have gone overseas.

Adventures in Streetwalking
The sidewalk scene in Boston is as predictable as a Real Housewife, Snow White-style—you never know if you're going to get Drunky, Crazy, Whackjob, Doped Up or High as a Kite. I've seen a woman dressed like a caveman steal a wheelchair-bound man's socks, a seemingly normal-looking man walking around with a snake draped over his shoulders à la Britney Spears and a woman having a full-on conversation with a mailbox. And that was just in the last two days. (Disclaimer: I live in Central Square. OK, so that's Cambridge, but it's close enough.)
Neandrathal kleptomaniacs aside, the most bizarre sidewalk incidents I've personally experienced have one thing in common: sidewalk fundraisers. If you work in the Back Bay (as we do at marlo), you have been accosted by at least four fundraisers on Boylston or Newbury Streets already today. Whether the cause is saving the whales (Greenpeace), saving the kids (Children's International) or saving women's rights (Planned Parenthood), these people are relentless when it comes to striking up a conversation.
Alas, the mean streets of Boston are not so kind when it comes to engaging strangers in conversation and then willing them to part with their money. (I think homeless people may be more successful in "fundraising" than these clipboard kids, but that's a study for another day…) Thus, the roadside fundraisers have picked up a few tricks of the trade along the way. My favorite (read: hated) tactics of all-time include:
- The Joker: The guys usually pull out this maneuver more than the girls. It usually starts with something observational ("Nice blue shoes!"), then quickly morphs into the guy doing a Dane Cook impression much to the amusement of his partner positioned about 10 yards down the sidewalk.
- The Friend: One of my least favorite moves, this one involves the fundraiser making eye contact as you're walking towards them and then sweetly saying "I think we could be great friends!" More often than not, this maneuver makes me want to punch them in the face.
- The Aggressor: Another unpopular ploy is to ask a rhetorical question ("Don't you care about dolphin safety?!") and then, when the person ignores them and continues walking down the sidewalk, take it as a "no" and start berating them for being dolphin-haters.
- The Undercover Operator: Knowing full-well that their pinny renders them invisible and/or highly avoidable to the public, this kind of fundraiser likes to mask his identity and ask something innocuous like "Hey, can I ask you something?" Before you know it, they're launching in to a spiel about deworming orphans in Somalia. (Yes, that's a blatant steal from Legally Blonde.)
In exposing these hated tricks, I hope I didn't just blow the cover off the carefully-crafted street team manifestos of these lovely organizations. While the message is always a good one, it's the delivery that's lacking in finesse. And considering that I'm a pretty nice person (at least I think I am) and the clipboard kids drive me to want to inflict physical harm on them, I can only imagine how everyone else feels. I sincerely hope these non-profits offer some sort of personal defense training before unleashing these kids out onto the streets. You know what they say about the messenger…

Overview (3)
|in New York City, New York, USA
|Birth Name
|Tina Blacker
|5' 8½" (1.74 m)
Mini Bio (1)
Tina Louise was born Tina Blacker in New York City, the daughter of Sylvia (Horn) and Joseph Blacker, who owned a candy store. Tina was still in her teens when she burst upon the national scene by starring on Broadway in the critically acclaimed box-office success "Li'l Abner", based on the famous comic strip character created by Al Capp. Stellar reviews caught the attention of Hollywood and Tina signed up for her first feature film, God's Little Acre (1958), which was an entry in the Venice Film Festival. It was at this point in her career that she began studying with Lee Strasberg and the Actors Studio in New York because she believed it was "time to develop and deepen my knowledge of the craft . . . Lee Strasberg," says Tina, "had the most dynamic effect on me. He influenced my life as no other man ever has."
After several more films, Tina returned to Broadway to star with Carol Burnett in "Fade in, Fade Out". She continued her work in Hollywood, starring in the CBS sitcom Gilligan's Island (1964) as Ginger Grant. Moving among Broadway, television and motion pictures, she next starred in The Happy Ending (1969), directed by Richard Brooks, The Stepford Wives (1975) with Katherine Ross and Dog Day (1984), with Lee Marvin and French actress Miou-Miou. Tina was cast as a regular on the first season of Dallas (1978) and has profuse credits in made-for-TV films for ABC and NBC, including Friendships, Secrets and Lies (1979), The Day the Women Got Even (1980), Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby (1976) and the famed ABC movie Nightmare in Badham County (1976).
In 1991 Tina appeared in Johnny Suede (1991), in which she co-starred with Brad Pitt. The film marked the debut of director Tom DiCillo, and won the 1992 Gold Leopard Award for Best Picture at the 44th International Film Festival at Lorcano, Switzerland. Other film and television work followed, including Stephan Elliott Welcome to Woop Woop (1997) and Growing Down in Brooklyn (2000), and she guest-starred in the syndicated television series L.A. Heat (1996).
In 2004 she received the coveted TVLand Pop Culture Icon Award in Los Angeles, which was aired nationally. She has made numerous television appearances, from The Rosie O'Donnell Show (1996) to Entertainment Tonight (1981) and Access Hollywood (1996).
A unique opportunity pursued Tina in 2005 with IGT (International Game Technology) in conjunction with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, when she inked a six-figure deal in exchange for 80 lines of voice-over work for a highly publicized gaming machine, a MegaJackpots product with the chance to win $1 million. The slot machines appeared in casinos from coast-to-coast as well as internationally.
Tina is an active member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and a lifetime member of the Actors Studio. As a literacy and academic advocate, she became a volunteer teacher at Learning Leaders, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing tutoring to New York City school children. It has been her passion to help young students gain not only literary skills, but also confidence, self-determination and proof of their own potential. Besides continuing her volunteer work in literacy, she has written several books. Her first book, a personal memoir on her first eight years entitled "Sunday", was published in 1998. She followed Sunday, with a children's book, "When I Grow Up", published in 2007. "Teaching children the skill of reading and a love for the written word is important because this will remain with them throughout their lives. If we can reach children at an early age, I believe it will make a difference. This thought brings me tremendous joy." Says Tina. She embarked on a book tour that included New York City and then continued to New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, Philadelphia and the Festival of Books at UCLA. Her third book, "What Does a Bee Do?" was published in 2009 (available only at Amazon.com) and was inspired by The Colony Collapse Disorder, otherwise known as Honey Bee Depopulation Syndrome. The book continues to be an educational tool for children, as well as adults and was recently approved by Joel Klein, chancellor of New York City Public Schools, and is tentatively awaiting on the E-Catalog for principals in the fall of 2010. An animated version of "What Does a Bee Do?" is in development.
Besides being an accomplished actress and author, she recorded an album, "It's Time for Tina", a sultry warm and breathy collection of standards. The enchanting album features music from saxophone legend Coleman Hawkins and lyrics and music by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin, Jule Styne and Cole Porter. She also made her debut as a visual artist when she exhibited her paintings at the Ambassador Galleries, and later with newer works at the notable Gallery Stendhal in Soho. Most recently she exhibited her original paintings at the Patterson Museum of Art. Tina Louise continues to live in New York City.

I commend Mr. Cullen's satirical editorial recently published in The Crimson for challenging all Americans who defend the remaining rotting columns of white supremacy to face the mirror and consider our place on this land's past, present, and future. His piece can be read here: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/2/22/alexander-cullen-in-support-of-the-immigration-ban/
Read plainly, Mr. Cullen argues that Trump's travel ban is necessary to protect American freedom from people in the seven banned countries who threaten our values from beyond our borders. Though people may "travel to the United States to partake in our democratic tradition—and even serve in our military," he argues, "due caution is necessary to protect our solid ground of liberty from anyone who fundamentally opposes it." This, told through the lens of Pedro Salsedo who arrived in the Americas on Columbus' voyage of 1492. Ironic—I know.
Although difficult, at first, to recognize as satire, if you follow his arguments closely, you'll realize that he never intended for us to consider his notions seriously. First, Mr. Cullen references Salsedo, his ancestor on the Santa Maria who traveled with Columbus to Puerto Rico in 1492. But a cursory web search reveals that Columbus did not visit Puerto Rico in 1492 and the Santa Maria ran aground in Haiti before venturing as far east as PR.[1] So what is Mr. Cullen getting at, if not signaling to the reader that she should treat with skepticism his remaining positions?
He continues, "There is no mistake the promise and opportunity that this continent, and particularly these United States, offers to those who dwell here." Here, I ask, is there a mistake? I've learned that normative positions are red flags begging for critical analysis. So why doesn't Mr. Cullen mention those millions of people who occupied the land before European expansion? Is it because, in his ignorance, Mr. Cullen merely overlooked them? Or is it deliberate? So the reader realizes that he overlooked them for effect, and, in fact, hopes to emphasize their/our existence?[2] This is important because, if his intent is the latter, then he challenges the reader to consider how Native peoples were the first from whom "promise and opportunity" were ripped. And that promise and opportunity continues to be ripped from those resilient communities who still organize, not because of, but in spite of the tenets of American democracy.
Before moving on from an argument rooted in the experiences of indigenous peoples, Mr. Cullen identifies our ironic deference to the ideals of freedom. Ironic, I say—and I believe his is a position of irony as well—because those very people whom we divorced from their land have endured, but survived, a cultural genocide that criminalized studying and engaging their own indigenous cultures. I will not lay out the prolonged history and enduring legacies of Native American boarding schools—but you should look them up. You really, really should.
I love, I absolutely LOVE, Mr. Cullen's second point. He masterfully uses examples of radical Islam to then critique Christians who espouse the exact.same.beliefs. I did not click on his links because, of course, they will direct the reader to Dylann Roof, who mercilessly murdered Christians in prayer[3]. Or perhaps the neo-Nazis who, as they propelled DJT to the American presidency[4], professed a devotion to anti-Semitism and white supremacy through xenophobia and over-policing in communities of color. This, keeping in mind that victims of terrorism rooted in Islamist rhetoric (and reactions against American occupation and historically expropriated resources) are overwhelmingly people who themselves observe and practice Islam. Mr. Cullen—you're a genius!
And then he does it for the women! Make no mistake, Mr. Cullen is a feminist—using examples of violence against women around the world to emphasize misogyny at home. He demands that Americans reconcile our disdain for sexism (i.e. normalized sexual harassment & assault, lack of access to meaningful reproductive health, unfair pay scales, etc.) with electing a sexual predator as president[5]; depriving the trans community of basic human dignity[6]; and police coercing sex from young women of color[7]. He ends, "The bystanders who fail to condemn these practices commit no lesser sin . . . [and] to deny this conclusion signifies either ignorance of atrocity or arrogance in refusing to recognize it." Correct. He is absolutely correct.
I do, however, disagree with one of Mr. Cullen's basic points. "President Trump's policies are not against Muslims," he argues, "as 87% of the world's Muslims . . . remain unaffected by the ban." I wonder if perhaps he has applied the same logic to terrorism and Islam? An argument along the lines of, "Islam is not a religion that espouses terrorism and violence," because, "X percent of the world's Muslims do not practice violence and terrorism," seems logical.
Moving along, Mr. Cullen arrives at the conclusion that progressives have wrestled with for years when he correctly points out that the travel ban has origins in the Obama administration. I hope to God that that argument doesn't fall flat. The challenge of convincing people that the problem is beyond just a rejection of DJT is very real and often a difficult conversation to have. Obama's promise to deport "felons not families"[8] paved the way for the current pattern of first criminalizing then deporting undocumented people. Thank you, Mr. Cullen, for drawing attention to a critical understanding of social justice and progressivism.
Beyond the travel ban, Mr. Cullen doesn't really dwell on the current immigration system. He makes no mention of undocumented immigrants from the Caribbean and Latin America and, once more, I wonder: is it on purpose? Perhaps the Puerto Rican night guard is a sign post for Mr. Cullen's true position? The night guard, no doubt, holds status because in the early 20th century the United States expanded through forceful political control. Which, in turn, meant opening its borders to the people under its control. The modern framework, however, is more creative because it derives power from capital—not force—and disentangles citizenship from colonization. This leaves those fleeing from violence and destitution in the Americas—El Salvador[9], Honduras[10], Guatemala[11], Colombia[12], Mexico[13], Nicaragua[14], Haiti[15]—as victims of American foreign policy[16], without enjoying any of its benefits. In referring to Puerto Rico, then, Mr. Cullen calls on America to complete the project and thus grant citizenship to everyone arriving from countries with undoubted American influence.
If, however, we are to accept each of Mr. Cullen's arguments at face value, then I'd encourage everyone victimized by white supremacy and settler colonialism to Venmo request reparations from him. After all, Mr. Cullen pointed out that he can trace his ancestors to the very first perpetrators of a genocide that we still have neither rectified nor reckoned with.
Marco Roberto Castanos, JD '18, is a second year student at Harvard Law School. He organizes with Reclaim Harvard Law. While the views expressed in this article are the author's own, they may reflect the opinions of numerous readers who came across Mr. Cullen's article, rolled their eyes, and said, "not today–not today."

[2] I say "their/our" not to appropriate any experience I have not endured, but rather to recognize the complicated aspects of a Latin American identity composed and shaped by interculturalism and genocide. So the reader knows, I have not tested my genetic make-up but, after doing so, will certainly assume such a perspective from a more informed point of view. If you want to sponsor my genetic test, Venmo me.

You've felt this before… An increased heart rate making you so alert and aware that you feel every detail as the electricity builds in your veins. The power saturates. You feel a part of yourself take control with a reassurance that causes everything to flow with ease. This is the feeling of living at your full potential and there are men who feel this all of the time. For them, the mind and body are meticulously tuned machines enabling them to shape reality with willpower and action. While those around them sleepwalk through life paralyzed by fear and complacency, they are fully conscious and able to see the solutions and opportunities invisible to everyone else. Believe that you have more of this power hiding inside of you than you realize. Know that this program will show you how to unlock and control it.
Total Experience Immersion uses the most scientifically advanced medical techniques available to first optimize the performance of the brain and body, followed by shaping the system through experience, literally evolving it into its full potential. It is the journey to become superhuman, and an education available nowhere else.
Preprogram and Application Process
The preprogram and application process consists of five phases: a background check, the Alpha Aptitude Assessment, chiropractic x-rays, hormone optimization, and cognitive optimization. Great care is taken to allow entrance to the type of men the program was designed for, and to get those men into optimum shape before entering the program. All client information is held in the strictest confidentiality and is only available to Drawk Kwast, the medical doctors, the psychologist, and the support staff assigned to you. Optionally, clients can elect to withhold all information from their insurance provider, completely sealing all records.
First, a background check is done. Applicants must be free of felony convictions and any pattern of criminal behavior. They must also show a history of financial responsibility.
Next is the Alpha Aptitude Assessment. This maps the applicant's cognitive processes and evaluates how he perceives, processes, and utilizes information. Testing includes use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment and other proprietary tests used exclusively for this program. This assessment procedure ensures that the training program's structure is compatible with how you learn.
The third phase is chiropractic x-rays. These are evaluated to ensure a properly functioning central nervous system. Most people only think of chiropractors in relation to relieving back pain. Our goal is to identify and treat any misalignment of the spine disrupting the brain's connectivity to the body, which hinders its ability to manage the body. As an example, a person with a compression of the T6 vertebrae can suffer from stomach problems. A person with a compression of the T11 vertebrae can suffer from skin conditions such as acne. An aligned spine enables the brain to properly communicate with and regulate the body. These x-rays can be taken at your local chiropractor's office and are covered by the majority of health insurance companies. You can use these procedure codes to find out what will be covered by your insurance provider.
The fourth phase is hormone optimization. A blood test is performed to check testosterone and estrogen levels. The goal of hormone optimization is to ensure higher yet safe testosterone levels and limit estrogen levels. Higher testosterone levels bring out masculine physical and psychological traits while limiting estrogen levels prevent unwanted female physical and psychological traits. The benefits of hormone optimization include more energy, a better sense of well being, improved sexual drive and performance, greater muscle mass and strength, lower body fat, a strengthened immune system, and a feeling of increased motivation for accomplishment and success. The blood test can be done at your local medical facility. If needed, hormone replacement therapy is covered by the majority of health insurance companies. You can use these procedure codes to find out what will be covered by your insurance provider.
The final phase consists of qEEG and SPECT brain scans followed by cognitive optimization. The science is complex but the concept is simple: Optimize your brain and you optimize your life. The qEEG scan measures electrical activity while the SPECT scans measure blood flow. This mapping of your brain makes it possible to enhance its function. The result is an enhancement of every aspect of your life including your job, your relationships, your energy level, your emotional well being, your physical health, and even your appearance. You have the option of doing the scans at one of the six medical facilities located throughout the US. When ordered properly, these brain scans are covered by the majority of health insurance companies. You can use these procedure codes to find out what will be covered by your insurance provider.
Once your preprogram fee has been received, you will be contacted by the intake coordinator assigned to guide you through the preprogram & application process. Your application for Total Experience Immersion will be considered after the successful completion of the preprogram process. If you're curious to learn more about the preprogram process, you may be interested in listening to this podcast.
Program Details
From the moment you are accepted into the program, Drawk Kwast is directly available to assist you. He has built his reputation by ensuring that you get the support you need to reach the goals you desire. His unique instruction methods use a combination of evolutionary psychology, cognitive restructuring, exposure therapy, and subconscious learning techniques to guide you through a series of life-changing experiences.
Evolutionary psychology involves the examination of psychological traits such as memory, perception of reality, language, and social dynamics, from an evolutionary perspective. This understanding will enable you to see the world in a new light.
Cognitive restructuring involves the dismantling of unrealistic beliefs that are directly responsible for generating dysfunctional emotions and their resulting behaviors such as stress, depression, anxiety, and social awkwardness. You will flush away these emotions and their effects by dismantling the beliefs that give them life.
Exposure therapy involves experiencing your feared social and situational contexts, without any actual danger, to allow you to confront your fears and discontinue your escape response. This behavioral process is also known as Pavlovian Extinction.
Subconscious learning is facilitated through the use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This set of techniques will alter your limiting patterns of thought, behavior, and language at the subconscious level. The process literally rewires your brain to enable lasting changes.

- Are you already applying the information from Drawk's books to your daily life? Those who want to run must first learn how to walk.
- Are you ready to invest the effort in yourself? The distance between you and your goals can only be bridged by your own willpower.
- Are you ready to invest the time in yourself? Beyond the scheduled training dates, you will have assignments to complete, workouts at your local gym, and new social commitments.

It wasn't designed to be cheap: it was designed to provide life-changing results far in excess of client expectations, and that doesn't come cheap.

Byron Bay's Tora have spent the last few years touring the globe. It's hard to believe with the amount of work they've put in that Take A Rest is their debut. The title of the LP isn't a coincidence — Jo Loewenthal from the band told us recently that "the title is an invitation to the listener to sit down, put in their headphones and take a rest from their daily problems". This is exactly how the album makes you feel. Take A Rest is the type of album where you can get lost in its calmness without skipping a single track.
The LP opens up with 'Rudie', which ultimately sets the backdrop for the rest of the project. The instrumental is ambient goodness and is absolutely hypnotising. It's easy to feel chilled out from those liquid-like synths. Next up is 'Another Case', which was previously released as a single. The most intriguing part of this track is the electronic percussion — though it's deep, the tranquil vibe is still on full display. 'Another Case' makes you feel like you're in a rainforest of smooth electronic beats, it completely takes over you in the best possible way.
'Love Life' is surprising — it still has the serene feeling of the previous tracks, but it's sexy and sultry. The following track 'Blame' is intriguing in the way it combines an array of diverse sounds that delicately compliment one another. The sounds weave around one another beautifully, and though it could've sounded messy if they got it wrong, it sounds perfect. The highlight of the track is at the 1:03 mark where the intensity picks up for a brief moment. Picture the dreaming image of a sun gazed Sunday afternoon, where you're chilling on the grass in the middle of spring, then listen to 'Too Little', you'll get it. Though 'Too Far' makes you want to have a rest, there's also a degree of intensity to it, particularly the beat at the start.
The first song I heard off of the LP was 'Amsterdam', and I was instantly hooked. I actually listened to it on repeat for two weeks. It's a moving track, and you can feel every word. 'Amsterdam' is utterly brilliant and it's probably been one of the finest releases from 2017. Next up is 'Mercury', this track has an underlying energy that's waiting to burst. It begins to slow down for a little while with 'Dope' (featuring Sam Lawrence). The ending of the track is reminiscent of a plane taking off for liftoff.
'Entity' (featuring Merryn Jeann) is immensely sophisticated. Merryn Jeann's vocals are ever so hypnotising and add a nice touch to the track. Next up is the incredibly poignant 'Too Much'. The driving force in 'Too Much' are the perfectly layered synths, which combine beautifully with the subtle strings. I envision 'Bridges' (featuring Grace Pits) becoming extremely popular. There's an aura of clarity that bursts from the track. 'Bridges' proves that Tora can provide different variations of the chilled out/ambient vibe that they're going for. It's incredibly easy to fall into a trap and make every song sound similar, but Tora go beyond this and present a scope of sounds that represent the overall themes of Take A Rest and 'Bridges' reaffirms this.
Though 'Want Me Gone' isn't one of the standouts from the album, it's still interesting and compliments the rest of the tracks. The main focus of 'Empyrean' is the instrumentals, and they progress through different stages as the track plays through. The last track is the album's title track, which will have you ready to get that rest that you've been yearning for.
If you're not feeling mellow and well rested by the time you get to the end of Take A Rest, you're doing it all wrong and need to go back to the start and relisten to the album. Tora's debut is dazzling and showcases their superb sound. If you're looking for the perfect album to help you escape for a little while, look no further than Take A Rest.

An odd little boy-meets-girl romance is rather crudely but courageously played in the picture called "David and Lisa," now at the Plaza Theater. It is the strange tenderness that develops between a psychoneurotic youth and a schizoid girl who are thrown together as lonely patients in a private psychiatric school.The nature of mental illness is always hard to define one the screen, as witness the current film, "Freud." And this problem of definition is one of the stumbling blocks in this film.All it is able to tell us about the lad, played by handsome Keir Dullea, is that he is extremely resistant to forming friendships and has a phobia about being touched. He hates his mother, distrusts his father, is antagonistic toward the head of the school, and repulses the other patients—except this girl.She, a plainly demented little creature who talks crazily in rhymes, is treated by him with mild compassion and then with deep concern. Unwittingly they help each other by having someone for whom to care. Whatever it is that is her trouble, it is presumably modified by him.As we say, the psychiatric definitions are vague and elusive in this film, and, therefore, the whole situation of conflict must be taken on verbal trust. But the visual aspects of mental patients are strongly presented by Mr. Dullea and by dark-haired Janet Margolin, who plays the schizoid girl. Their growing curiosity and attachment in the midst of a cheerless institute is specifically and touchingly presented by them—and that's the sum and substance of the film.Howard Da Silva does a good, straight job of shaping the basic outlines of the head of the school, and Neva Patterson is hard and two-dimensional as the mother of the boy. Richard McMurray as the father and Matthew Anden as another patient in the notably permissive institution catch glints of characters in their brief roles."David and Lisa" was produced by Paul M. Heller and directed by Frank Perry, who has done a simple, commendable, sympathetic semi-documentary.Continue reading the main story

SUPER STAR PACKERS AND MOVERS 932001 9001 FAQs related to moving done by movers and packers Thane
General FAQs related to movers and packers Thane
1. When should the truck reach you: it is very important to decide upon the date and time at which the truck should reach you? This will be dependent upon the fact that will you be packing and moving on the same day or will you be packing a day in advance and moving the next day. Usually movers and packers Thane prefer the first option. In which case the movers and packers Thane will pack the articles and load them at the same time i.e. the moment the articles are packed they will be put outside for loading. In such cases you must call for the truck on the same day as packing. Where as in case you want to have slow and peaceful moving you can ask for the truck to be sent on the day after the packing has been done. Whatever is your choice; you must discuss the same with the mover and then only go ahead with the whole procedure.
2. When and how should the loading take place: one needs to be very careful regarding the loading of the goods? Properly trained staff should be provided for the loading. You must make sure that the movers and packers Thane are taking proper care in loading your goods. Further to this you must also make sure that all the bulky items are loaded at the front of the truck (close to the wall separating the driver's cabin from the rest of the truck) and that the less bulky items should be placed next followed by the fragile and lighter items. Also make sure that all the items have been properly sealed and chained before the moving takes place.
Movers and packers in Thane provide you different modes of transport
3. What are the different modes of moving your goods: the movers and packers in Thane can provide you different modes of transportation i.e. relocation via road, sea or air. You can also relocate your goods via rail, but in that case you would not require movers and packers in Thane. Depending upon the amount of the goods and the distance to be travelled, the mode of transportation is decided. If you have only a couple of bags, you can transport the same via air, especially if it's an overseas relocation. If however you have too much luggage which needs to be transported to a foreign location, you can book a container on the ship and if it's just a few thousand kilometres and that too within the country, its best to hire a truck.
4. How will the cost be decided: the cost will be dependent upon the distance to be travelled and the total weight of the goods that are to be relocated? In case of road, the company will charge you as per the kilometre rate.
5. What all documents should you keep with you when your goods are moved: you must have copy of the bill specifying the charges, the list of goods that are being transported, the documents related to insurance, a photocopy of the vehicles registration certificate and the drivers license.

My June beauty favourites has expanded and instead of just sharing my hits I am also going to talk through the products I have been trialling and updating you on the beauty bits I have previously mentioned to give a full review, rather than just the highlights.
Nanshy The Eye Brush Set
I first discovered these brushes back at Bloggers Festival and, after being gifted an angled eyeliner brush, I fell in love.
Initially I intended to just buy a brush to contour my nose, however, after seeing their full range at IMATs I couldn't resist buying the full set – and I do not regret it for a second.
The brushes are soft but hold product well and feel hard wearing. This is a brand that prides itself in using synthetic high quality bristles which are vegan, cruelty free and supported by PETA.
Touche Éclat Le Teint Foundation
Though one of YSL's best selling foundations I hated the old formula, however this new version is one of my new favourite base products.
Touche Éclat Le Teint now has more coverage and stays put all day; though I have to build it up to cover my broken out skin it does not cake and feels weightless on my face. The formula also has light-reflecting particles which adds a subtle glow to the skin making the skin look radiant.
It is not just the formula and packaging that has been updated but there are now 22 shades to choose from, making it suitable for most skin tones.
Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant Mascara
This product is a little harder in texture than the mascara that I usually go for, but the formula creates volume and keeps those lashes in place all day.
This is now my go to for a more extreme look when I can't be bothered applying lashes and, despite drying pretty hard, it does not crumble under pressure.
Debenhams have started doing £9 sample sizes of these if you want to try this without fully committing.
Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
This is not a new item in many people's skin care routine but it is one of my first ever Kiehls purchases and, if all the results are like these, it will not be my last.
If you watch my YouTube channel you will know I have had issues with my eyes pretty much all year: they have been puffy and dry, that was until this pot of magic came into my beauty routine.
It is creamy, gentle and super moisturising helping my poor puffy eyes out just in time for hay-fever season starting.
On Trial
This month was my birthday and also IMATs so I got a little spendy and picked up more products than usual. First up is the Zoeva Mixed Metals palette; this was one that I simply could not leave on the shelves with such a stunning range of colours.
I also had to pop into Boots and, of course, could not swing by without making a few purchases at the new NYX stand. Since it is summer I decided to go bright with Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Amethyst, Vivid Brights Eyeliner in Violet, Color Mascara in Mint Julep and, to make sure everything stays smoothly in place, Angel Veil Primer.
This months update is a little smaller than I plan it to be in the future, but I am sharing my thoughts on the L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique Cushion Foundation which featured as a favourite in my May drugstore post.
For a full update on products on trial hop on over to my YouTube channel and tune in.
I would love to know what you think about this new format and also what you have been buying this month.

Romance, murder, and songs
The indie Irish musical Big Shot has just finished a week's residency at London Irish Centre, Camden
Lauryn Gaffney's ambitious and enthusiastic debut musical Big Shot focuses on the difficulties of a young Irish artist, Carrie (Jade Young) in New York, whose life becomes far more difficult once her fiancé murders someone. It is the songs that stand out, however, rather than the plot.
The show suffered from some technical difficulties on its second night of a week-long residency at the London Irish centre, especially radio microphones which suffered from interference and sometimes obscured the lyrics (especially a problem during the larger ensemble numbers), the cast performed with enthusiasm and polish.
As the leads, Young and Donal Brennan, playing Jeremy Crocker, an ambitious lawyer, have the two strongest songs in the piece.
Been Awake For One Hundred Hours, sung by Carrie as she tries to work out whether she should lie on the witness stand for her fiancé, is a powerful ballad about sleep deprivation and guilt, and What's a Man To Do? sung by Jeremy about his conflicted feelings about Carrie, is also memorable.
The six piece band who accompanied the songs were also excellent. Niamh Chambers and Sean McMahon give exuberant performances in the comic subplot, revolving around the café where Carrie works, and the romance between Carrie's boss, Vivian, and Jeremy's friend, Frankie.
The choreography is strong, although seemed to suffer slightly from the play being in a new venue and on a smaller stage than in previous productions, as it meant the full ensemble numbers seemed a bit crowded.
This improved as the performance went on, however, and can probably be attributed to teething problems associated with a new venue.
There are a great many songs in the musical, and while Gaffney's composition is excellent, this sometimes made the pace of the musical uneven, as well as meaning that the central performers frequently had to move between two or three songs in sequence.
Future iterations of the musical might be better served by slightly fewer songs, with more focus on the stand out numbers. All in all, the play is a brave and ambitious production by a young Irish songwriter who has proved herself one to watch and well worth seeing.

I am always on the hunt for new things to entice the children into sensorial experiences. My goal is always to find things that are beautiful, open ended and offer a variety of sensory experiences. This happens during meal times when we meet new foods, during our times outside and more recently I have been offering sensory trays.
There was a rainbow of colors, materials, sizes and shapes. At first of wanted to separate out then biggest buttons, but after playing with them myself for a while, I realized that the variety was part of the appeal to me. I knew that it was possible for my children could try to eat them, so I began by bringing out the large jar, some small bowls and a flat tray.
Watching the buttons tumble out on to the tray was satisfying for everyone. There were handfuls grabbed and many scooped into bowls. Individual pieces were carefully chosen and held no it for all to see with an "oooh!" Or "wow!"

City, Nonprofit and Volunteers Help Keep Providence Neighborhood Clean of Litter/
By ecoRI News staff
PROVIDENCE — The Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council (WRWC), the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, the city's parks and public works department and City Council member Sabina Matos are helping to clean up litter and debris from the hill behind homes on Bowdoin Street next to the Woonasquatucket River.
For years, area residents and others have used the hill to dump trash, blighting the view from the new spur of the Woonasquatucket River Greenway from Donigian Park to Delaine Street. Cyclists on this bike path, until recently, saw a hillside covered with sofas, TVs and mattresses.
To make things worse, the hill is eroding, and trash is falling into and blocking the river above the Woonasquatucket's fish ladder, leaving fish to fight another obstacle trying to get upstream.
Illegal dumping is a crime, and rodents, such as rats, find homes in trash and become a threat to public health.
Last year, the WRWC's river rangers and volunteers from Dassault Systemes cleaned the same hillside. This year, the WRWC hired a company to clean it. More than 60 yards of trash, 20 tires and 45 mattresses were removed.
Curran Tree Service will use a crane to remove the garbage dams in the river. WRWC staff and Matos will to visit residents door to door with flyers in English and Spanish that provide tips on how to deal with trash for free or at a very low cost.
Unlike many cities and towns in Rhode Island, Providence residents get free bulk-item pickup by simply making a phone call:
Free removal of furniture, tables, chairs, bureaus, shelves, stoves, washers and dryers, bathtubs, water heaters, air conditioners, computers and electronics (anything with a cord). Call Waste Management (1-800-972-4545) before 3 p.m. 24 hours before your regular trash pickup day to schedule a free pickup. Construction debris and roofing shingles are not accepted.
Drop off your mattresses or box springs for free at the Providence Public Works Convenience Center, 140 Terminal Road. Limited to two mattresses or box springs per resident per drop-off. Proof of Providence residency required. Drop-off hours are Saturdays from 7 a.m.-1 p.m.
Call Waste Management (1-800-972-4545) before 3 p.m. at least 24 hours prior to your regular collection day to schedule a curbside mattresses pickup. The cost is $22, and checks and credit cards are accepted.
Fines up to $500 for mattresses and box springs placed on the curb without a scheduled pickup or if illegal dumped.
Tires and paint are hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly. Click here for more information.
Free yard-waste pickup began April 13 and ends Dec. 11. Leave curbside on recycling and trash collection days; clippings, leaves and sticks should be placed in open barrels or paper yard-waste bags. Sticks must be cut to 4 feet or smaller and tied together. Yard debris can't be placed in plastic bags.

This week I'm going to try a Shakespearean approach and see how it goes:
GARDENER [to the first man]
Go, bind thou up young dangling apricots
Which, like unruly children, make their sire
Stoop with oppression of their prodigal weight.
Give some supportance to the bending twigs.
[to second man] Go thou, and, like an executioner,
Cut off the heads of too fast-growing sprays
That look too lofty in our commonwealth.
All must be even in our government.
You thus employed, I will go root away
The noisome weeds which without profit suck
The soil's fertility from wholesome flowers.
[The Tragedy of King Richard the Second, Act III, Scene IV]

This past weekend I was reminded how easy it is to fall back into bad habits. It started on Saturday with a birthday gathering where it would of course be rude to turn down the offer of a slice of cake and because there were two different cakes on the table I had to sample both. To be fair both slices were more sliver-like than I would have gone for in the past but still.
Then dinner time rolls around and how can you resist some crusty garlic bread to go with the soup? You can't.
Well, I couldn't.
Oh and look, there's a bag of potato chips in the kitchen. Let's have a small bowl of that while we're browsing the internet.
Add to all this that I had skipped two Insanity workouts that I had told myself I would catch up on and I was feeling like I had let myself down as I headed to bed Saturday night.
Luckily a new day brought a new resolve.
I made better food choices all day and by Sunday night I had done both the workouts I had skipped earlier that week. I spent over an hour sweating, squatting, planking and being told to Dig Deeper! and though I felt exhausted by the end of it I also felt like I was back in the groove.
I think it's important to remember that a little wobble in your day or your week doesn't have to signal the end of all the hard work you've put in up to that point. In the grand scheme of things one day will not affect your overall journey if you recognize it and make an effort to get back on track.
And because I'm not about to give up cake and chocolate and all the other good stuff, I'm looking for ways to make my favourite not-so-great-nutritionally-speaking treats a bit healthier.
If you have any suggestions for healthy substitutes please let me know in the comments!

The search giant will need to strengthen security after the recent attack exposed how vulnerable their databases are. (Photo : REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni)
A recent online security breach has revealed almost 450,000 email addresses and passwords of users associated "Yahoo! Voices." The internet theft only adds to Yahoo's growing woes and elicits the growing need for online security.
Here is what IT security firm TrustedSec had to say on the matter.
"Few details are known at this point however, a recent post over 400,000 plus accounts that have clear text passwords were posted online. The passwords contained a wide variety of email addresses including those from yahoo.com, gmail.com, aol.com, and much more. The affected website was only named as a subdomain of yahoo.com however digging through and searching for the hostname, the attacker forgot to remove the hostname "dbb1.ac.bf1.yahoo.com" (credit to Mubix for the hostname find). Looking through a variety of sources, it appears that the compromised server was likely "Yahoo! Voices" which was formally known as Associated Content (credit to Adam Caudill for the linkage)."
The worst part is that the information was not encrypted, and immediately intelligible. Hacker group D33D which carried out the attack posted the email addresses and their corresponding passwords online for viewing here. Website Dazzlepod has created a search feature where you can simply type in your email address and see if it is on the revealing list.
The attack was a simple SQL injection, an incredibly basic tool in the hacker's toolkit and one that a worldwide tech giant like Yahoo should be able to fend off.
"Yahoo failed fatally here," said Anders Nilsson, security expert and chief technology officer of Scandinavian security company Eurosecure. "It's not just one specific thing that Yahoo mishandled -- there are many different things that went wrong here. This never should have happened."
Nilsson believes that Yahoo should have set alarms in place, had the information in place, and of course, built the website so it isn't susceptible to a simple SQL injection.
The most widely used password was "123456" and then "password". In the end, let's hope that Yahoo beefs up its security, and that people start getting a little more creative with their passwords.

Irish businesses back hospital
A group of prominent Irish business people in London have put their heads together to raise funds for a new adult acute ward at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) in Stanmore.
The London Irish Appeal, sponsored by the Kelly Group, will form part of the RNOH's overall Charity Redevelopment Appeal.
It aims to fund all the specialist equipment for the 32-bedroom ward, which is not covered by standard NHS support. The ward will treat patients including children with a range of complex conditions, such as bone tumours, spinal deformity and sarcoma, a rare form of cancer requiring highly specialised treatment.
Helen Corbett of the Kelly Group explained how the Irish community in London wanted to give something back to the RNOH.
"It's all about helping the hospital out – many of us have family who have been treated there, it has treated a lot of Irish people over the years," she said. "It's also had very little repair since the Second World War and it hasn't received enough funding."
Here Princess Eugenie visited the hospital in 2014:

Part of the redevelopment will see a number of the extremely dilapidated port-a-kabins and Nissan huts that were constructed in the 1930s be replaced by the new hospital.
Have a look at this beautiful animation, linked to their previous fundraising campaign, and voiced by actor Orlando Bloom. It outlines the work the hospital does:
There will also be drinks, an evening supper and a ten minute film outlining the RNOH's plans in more detail.
Among the top three centres in the world
Ms Corbett said the launch will also provide attendees with the details of further fundraising events and give them the opportunity to pledge donations.
"There will be a list of events over the next three years to help raise money for the appeal," she said. "There'll be a golf day, a dinner dance, a charity cycle and things like that, and I know Seamus Carr is looking to host a race night.
"It's about putting everything into place; people who have organised events have most things sorted, it's now just about getting dates in the diary."
The RNOH is among the top three centres in the world for the diagnosis and treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions, including spinal cord injuries, bone cancer and complex hip problems. It treats patients from all over the world, 30 per cent of them children, including people from Ireland.
Professor Briggs said: "This is a tremendously exciting time for the RNOH. The forthcoming approval of the Stanmore redevelopment will mean we will finally be able to build a hospital which befits the quality of the service we provide."
He explained that the appeal is reliant on charitable support, and has set a target of £15 million by 2018. It has currently raised over £5.8 million of this target and he described the London Irish group's contribution as "a huge boost".
Rosie Stolarski, the RNOH Charity's Director of Fundraising and Development, added: "The funds raised by the London Irish Appeal will, quite simply, transform the experience of the RNOH's patients.
"They will enable us to purchase a range of equipment which will significantly improve our patients' comfort, and the quality of care we are able to offer them.
"We cannot thank Tim Kelly and the London Irish group enough for their support."
