anyway, today was good! : ) still dealing w/ everything, but had a blessed day. took the rental back (steely dan) & got chloe. enterprise was really AWESOME & they comp'd the extra day that i wasn't expecting. totally nice of them!!
i got an asiago bagel & cream cheese from panera & then went home to see what movies were playing. i'd called mom to see if she wanted to go to the show. she said the boys were over, but she could go after 2. i decided to skip errands til later & go hang out w/ the boys & phil & mom. : ) phil had his wisdom teeth out yesterday, so he was moving slow & eating lots of pudding/jello/soup! heh. he's doing alright, tho. : )
we walked & the boys rode their bikes for awhile. it was a beautiful day (til later when it got slifling humid & hot!)!
favorite of anthony from today : )
mom & i wanted to put handprints in that new cement... LOL
i wanted them to say cheese. anthony did, but wouldn't look at the camera. leyton was upset for me.
waitin for gramma to fix the chain (sadly, she couldn't get it back on w/o a screwdriver).
he spotted a flock of geese & was very excited!
anthony said something about shooting the geese, so leyton demonstrated! LOL
the bike had to take a rest, so bring out the motorized bike!
then we played some frisbee - leyton "taught" me how to throw it. : ) he's pretty good! sadly, the game had to end when anthony accidentally hit him in the head w/ the frisbee. d'oh! we went in & had some lunch & leyton went down for a nap. he was tiiiiired!
(i thought i had a picture of him throwing, but apparently i do not! darn it!)
mom & i left to do some retailing & see a movie. we went to hallmark (i found leyton a great birthday card that plays the chicken dance!), marshalls (found stephen's birthday game, woot!), and tj maxx (found an awesome mug and some british teas, oh yeah!!!). it was a very fun time!
then we saw Hanna. this movie was very, very strange. did not quite know what was going on thru most of it, but it was still good, at least. unlike the last really strange movie (skyline. no, thank you!)!! *laugh*
after the movie, we went to WM for some grocery shopping. we had a supermarket sweep kinda race. LOL see, we each took a cart, and then were to meet back at the van. well, i asked mom for the key or the remote, so i could get into the van if i got back first. "oh, i'm sure i'll beat you back - you have more to get than i do. and you dawdle." LOL i was like, "YOU dawdle! you were just talking about it today. plus, i've shopped WM w/ you before..." heh. so, i gathered up my groceries - and ran into her in one aisle & she was dawdling over coffee!! hahahaa. it was funny. and THEN, i did beat her back to the van, and was there long enough to read some of my book. heh.
came home & tried to watch some ford focus rally, but the computer didn't like that today, so i watched music & lyrics (CUTE!!) and Walker. made a yummy tuna & pickle sammich for dinner.
now, sleep is calling to me! *laugh* have a great night & wonderful sunday! take a look at this wonderful artwork God gave us tonight...

November 12, 2009.
A few months ago, when I asked my friends for referrals to their agents and managers, one girl said that she would be happy to refer me to her manager when the timing was right. I did mailings to the commercial agents I was referred to but never heard from any of them. Then last week, out of the blue, this friend told me that she had spoken to her manager and he had given me the go-ahead to send my materials. I sent him an e-mail with my headshot/resume the following morning and by that night I'd heard back from him. He said, "L. speaks very highly of you. Can you come in for a meeting next Wednesday or Thursday?" I cried when I read the e-mail because he is a legitimate manager who handles a number of recognizable, working actors, and it was at long last a drop of rain in the desert. It was also going to be first time I seriously "took a meeting," which is one aspect of the working actor's life I want to have.
Yesterday was a crazy day of getting to one of my three jobs earlier than usual so I could take off early. I worked quickly to get everything done in half the time. Then I raced to get some food and change clothes and touch up my make-up. Gave myself plenty of time to get to the manager's office that was located on the east side of Hollywood. Got a huge case of nerves and tried walking around the block to calm them which didn't help. Finally I checked in with the security guard who called up to the office. They gave me the go-ahead to take the elevator up. I came into a lobby where the receptionist checked me in and asked me to wait. I sat on the huge over-sized couches in the hip lobby with its great view of Los Angeles. I tried to take in the moment and to be grateful for it because I was finally in a position to start meeting with legitimate representation. I waited for several minutes before an assistant came to get me and took me into the elevator again to go to another floor. He was the from the east coast as well so we chatted briefly about that before he installed me in a conference room with a glass of water. Then I had another ten minutes to sit there and get more nervous and run out of things to look at. The whole morning was really about conquering my anxiety so I didn't sabotage myself.
I'd been doing a lot of research and preparation for the meeting so that I could have more of an experience in the room instead of waiting to answer questions or trying to sell myself. I wanted something simple and funny to talk about when the manager came in but the room was sterile with a huge entertainment center, a table, and nothing else. Finally, at the last minute, I happened to glance down the floor and saw a perfect, red, Lee Press-On fingernail laying beneath my feet. I started shaking with laughter and was smiling when the manager came in to meet me. He was immediately friendly and outgoing and someone I would hang out with in my regular life so we bantered about the fingernail and he said, "I've heard so many good things about you from L. and I want to know your story!"
I gave it to him in a nutshell and he was intrigued by the fact that I'd been away from acting for so long and how I came back to it and how much it meant to me now. I felt that I could be completely authentic with him, especially since he's good friends with Tony and understands the spiritual component to that kind of acting work. He even asked me questions about it so I enjoyed talking about the process itself instead of business.
After some good conversation he told me right upfront that he couldn't take me on because I would be a "developmental client" and he was at the point in his career where he didn't have time to develop talent anymore even though it was his favorite part of the job. He said that he'd still wanted to meet me because of the glowing referral from my friend, whom he really respects. He said, "L. never refers anyone but she went on and on about you and she told me you're the best actor in her class."
Then he said, "Look, I can tell right away when I meet someone if they've got what it takes. In my opinion you can teach acting but you can't teach someone how to have that special quality. And you've got it. You're the real deal and you've got something special about you that sets you apart. Even though outwardly you're nothing alike, you remind me of an actor like Viola Davis, because it's just obvious that you're the real thing."
He told me that I was right on target with how I was thinking about my career and planning my next steps. He said to keep doing what I was doing and that he was going to think about how else he could help me- if there was anyone he could send me to- and he said he was there for me if I ever had questions or needed a referral from him. He also wants me to get new headshots immediately because he thinks what I have don't do me justice or do anything for me. I agreed and said I'd never seen them as anything but temporary while my hair was growing out from Saint Joan. Later I sent him a link for a headshot photographer I was considering and he thought I'd made a good choice about who to go to. The outcome wasn't really a surprise; this manager represents actors who are the leads of hot television shows and I'm nowhere near that level in terms of my career.
So I left the meeting feeling very good about the experience in general but very sad with the state of limbo I find myself in. I know I need a few television credits and a reel. The only way to get the credits is to keep getting in front of casting directors via workshops because that's the only way I can see them without an agent. And the only way to get an agent is to have the reel. And the only way to get the reel is to save up the hundreds of dollars needed to create one and that means… more time waiting and working. In other words, more of the same. So the only outlet for my talent continues to be class and I have to keep channeling my frustration into that work since it's the only place I can do it. I knew for sure after the meeting that my talent and who I am as a person are two things I need never question again. I have what it takes in those areas; it's the other stuff that's missing.
When Michelle was going over the work for class she looked at me and said, "Dawn, why aren't you working?" I told her we were putting the scene up next week. I've only had two classes off from scenes but she gets on me about it in a way she doesn't with anyone else. When she went into her lecture she talked about how we have to do the things that are hard for us and she said, "For instance, I don't know if you're not wanting to work on Cat?" I said, "No, no. It's just a matter of having the time to get it ready. I'm really excited about it." She said, "Well, you have to find the time to work on your dream. It's about time management. There has to be time for the thing that is most important to you. Even though I know you may be working forty or more hours a week…"
I just listened and I didn't feel angry or defensive. But I did have a moment of wanting to cry because I was bone weary. Every spare second I can I'm working on my acting and I'm actually very good at planning and managing my time. I have to be. But that still doesn't mean I'm in a place right now where I can do everything I wish I could do. Because I can't. I've tried and I'm ready to collapse and if I'm not careful I'll get sick or hysterical and then I won't be able to function at all. I know Michelle wants me to stop working so much and start acting more but that's just not an option at this point in time. That's why meetings that don't lead anywhere or projects that fall through are so discouraging… because I want so much for someone to decide that they will offer me a helping hand while I do as much as I can for myself. No one succeeds in this business alone. Somewhere along the line everyone receives a boost from someone who is further along. And so far I haven't found that person.
Because I wasn't working on a scene, Michelle threw me into an improvisational exercise with five other actors where she told me I would be playing, of all things, a manager. I made my manager arrogant, snarky and impatient and had a great time doing it. In fact I had the first line of the scene and Michelle stopped the scene immediately to say, "That was so funny. That was a great line and we need to coordinate the action on stage because that's the kind of line you don't want to miss." Then she directed when each part of the scene would be played (because it was divided into five locations) so that the dialogue wouldn't overlap too much. The entire improvisation was a blast with each actor contributing amazing things and she let it run for almost half an hour.
I got my acting fix and I got to vent about the business in a strange but satisfying way. Class was so fulfilling, as usual, that I completely forgot about my disappointment and just felt happy to be right where I was, doing the work. Even though it was close to Midnight when I got home, I put on my Maggie costume and worked on Cat until after 1:00AM. This morning I was so exhausted that I almost got sick when I moved and the disappointment is back. But sooner or later, something's gotta give.

Some of you astutely noted (and some sarcastically noted) that the announcement of Adam Carriker's signing was delayed a week from when the original deal was struck. So, here's the story behind the story.
Mostly delays have to do with filing the paperwork and getting the necessary John Hancock's on the dotted lines. Carriker moved his offseason home out to Colorado this offseason, and has been busy lifting weights and being a Dad. Carriker had to get back to the east coast in order to sign his paperwork, and the paperwork then had to be submitted and approved by the league.
Only then are we allowed to talk about it.
But all of this came after he over-scheduled his Super Tuesday, as he discussed in his recent blog post on ProInterviews.org. It's a candid narrative that walks readers through the initial "stomach butterflies" of free agency, all the way through the exciting end–back where he began:
I had not planned my day out very well, because months before I scheduled a general recovery acupuncture session for, you guessed it, 4pm on that very day. To add to my lack of planning ahead, I had also scheduled to talk to a group of underprivileged high school kids at 5:45pm on that same day.
So there I am, lying on a table covered head to toe in acupuncture needles, talking to my agent about where my family and myself would be living for the next four to six years.
That sounds like the start of any great story. Carriker admitted that he was probably a sight to see: a 6-6, 310-pound porcupine, thrilled to be headed back to Washington:
As long as their offer was fair and comparable to other offers, I wanted to stay a Redskin. I immediately called my wife to tell her, mind you, with all the needles still in me.
While I'm telling her, I receive a call from a reporter, "Dude, the news broke, your staying a Skin?!" I hadn't even told my wife, I was still on the phone with her and people on Twitter were already talking about it.
The next 45 minutes flew by on the phone, and pretty soon it was time to go chat with the group of kids. Carriker is in the process of getting his own non-profit off the ground, but is very proud of his platform as an athlete to reach people, especially kids:
A lot of them were from rough backgrounds, had a rough childhood, and were getting into quite bit of trouble.
Mind you, I love doing things in the community and I'm really glad I went and talked to them. In retrospect, however, I wish I would have scheduled it at a different time.
When I was done talking with them, I looked at my phone and saw that I had about 50 missed calls and texts. Most important of all was the Skins trying to get a hold of me. I finally connected with them and we got everything figured out.
Carriker said that the free agent experience was "very exciting" and something he'll remember forever. He also said that he "enjoyed every second of it," which works out to be a little over 3,600 seconds, based on his timeline. By comparison, Peyton Manning was a free agent for 1,134,000 seconds, give or take.
I dare you to check my math.
Read more about his free agency experience, as we'll keep up with Carriker and his blog for the upcoming season.

as we drove down to copacabana beach, new south wales, i remarked to my friend as to how like pembrokeshire in wales it was. this was to my knowledge, why it is called new south wales, the coastline is so like that of south wales proper. apparently the locals were less aware of this than me and every participant in a 'welsh' school geography quiz.
i was going to ask which picture you thought was which, pembrokeshire, wales or copa' n.s.w sadly the 4x gives it away! only the welsh drink that particular piss-poor lager so that must be wales right?

Okie, so you've bought your brand spankin' new fish tank and are all excited about how big it is, right? Right!? But is it really as big as was advertised? The United States stubbornly refuses to adopt metric, which has kept the aquarium industry in North America bouncing back and forth between S.I. and Imperial units, causing round-off errors when units are converted between systems. Unfortunately, there is also a small amount of exaggeration that happens if the wrong measurements are taken or rounded up improperly. Also, there is a big difference between how much volume a tank occupies in space and how large a volume of water it can hold, a discrepancy that increases the larger your tank is. Tanks should be measured from the insides of the glass (not the outsides, not the frame) for an accurate measurement of the capacity. Lastly, since anything solid in your tank will displace some of this water and reduce the total water volume in the tank, some of your tank (roughly 10%) will be taken up by rocks, gravel, decorations and even the fish themselves. If you don't believe me, sit down in a full bathtub and watch what happens.
On a side note, something similar happens when you buy a new iPod or a hard drive. Manufacturers typically define a "gigabyte" as a billion bytes, rather than as 2^30 (or 1,073,741,824) bytes – the standard definition of a gigabyte. Further, another chunk of space (~7%) is taken by the filesystem to format your drive, so in reality, an iPod that is sold as "160 GB" actually has only about 138 GB of usable space! But I digress…
Some important things to realise when calculating your tank's actual volume:
- Take measurements between the insides of the glass, not the outsides.
- 1 US gallon = 231 cubic inches = 3.785412 litres
- 1 Imperial gallon (deprecated) = 4.546092 litres
- 1 litre = 1 cubic decimetre = 1000 cubic cm
- 1 millilitre = 1 cubic centimetre = 0.001 cubic decimetre
- 1 L = 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3 = 1000 mL
- 1 decimetre = 10 centimetres = 0.1 metres
- 1 inch = 2.54 centimetres
Volume Calculations
Rectangular tanks
To calculate this volume, we'll need three inside measurements:
- length (left-to-right)
- width (front-to-back)
- height (depth of the water)
Total volume of a rectangular tank in litres using measurements taken in cm:
volume = (length)(width)(height)(1 L / 1000 cm3)
volume = (length)(width)(height)(0.001 cm-3) L
Divide this value by 3.785412 for US gallons.
Total volume of a rectangular tank in US gallons using measurements taken in inches:
volume = (length)(width)(height) / (231 in3/gal)
volume = (length)(width)(height)(1 in-3)(/231) gal
Multiply this value by 3.785412 for litres.
For example: [ — COMING SOON — ]
Hexagonal tanks
To calculate this volume in litres, we'll need two (or three) inside measurements taken in cm:
- side length (one of the six sides)
- heighttank (depth of the water)
- diameter (distance across the tank between two sides (not corners!))
Total volume of a hexagonal tank in litres = area of basetank x heighttank x (1 L / 1000 cm3)
So, what is the area of the basetank? Well, the basetank is just a collection of six equilateral triangles, so we can calculate their six areas from the formula A = (1/2)basetri x heighttri and multiply by six for the area of the whole bottom of the tank. The base of each triangle is the side length of the tank, while the height of each triangle is the found from the Pythagorean Theorem as h = sqrt( side2 – [(1/2)side]2 ). You'll find that h = ( (√3)/2 )side. Alternatively, this value is the same as half the diameter of the tank (distance between two opposite sides), which you can measure if this is easier for you. So, the area of the basetank = 6 x (1/2) x side x ( (√3)/2 ) x side = 6 x (1/2) x side x (1/2) x diameter
Total volume of a hexagonal tank in litres:
volume = (√3)(3/2)(side2)(heighttank)(1 L / 1000 cm3)
volume = (0.00259808 cm-3)(side2)(heighttank) L
volume = (6)(1/2)(side)(1/2)(diameter)(height) (1 L / 1000 cm3)
volume = (1.5)(side)(diameter)(height)(0.001 cm-3) L
Divide this value by 3.785412 for US gallons.
For example: [ — COMING SOON — ]
I will leave it up to you whether or not you take another 10% off the volume of your tank to account for gravel, decorations and occupants.
So, now that you know all of this, how big is your tank really?!
Weight Calculations
Another related topic here is how heavy your tank is. Maybe you just moved into a new apartment and you need to check if the floor is strong enough, or perhaps you want to have a bedroom aquarium and don't want to find your tank in your living room because your floor isn't to spec.
To estimate the weight of your tank when full:
- Water weighs about 1 gram per mL or 1 kg/L
- Aquarium gravel is typically sold in 2 kg, 5 lb/2.268 kg, 10 kg or 25 lb/11.340 kg bags.
- Decorations you can easily throw on your bathroom scale for a good estimation.
- You can usually find the empty weight of your tank on the box or from the manufacturer's Web site.
- 1 kilogram = 2.204622 pounds
So, the weight of the tank when full = empty tank + gravel + decorations + water.

I had it last year and after several rounds of antibiotics and antiviral tablets, combined with a cocktail of creams it finally went away after it plagued me for about 3 months.
Obviously with our wedding only 5 months away I'm worried about this cropping up again. I'm being referred to a dermatologist so hopefully they can shed some light on what it is!
It got me thinking. What if I do get it again for the wedding or come down with another sickness? What can we do to prevent or minimise our chances of being ill? I wrote this post a little while ago about how to boost your immune system with different foods but I have since found a few bits of advice on how to stay in tip-top condition for your wedding day.
Pre-Wedding day wonders
- Don't skip meals - It's important to keep your body nourished, if you want to lose a few extra pounds before your wedding day do so sensibly, your body needs food to maintain it's energy and skipping on meals will leave you feeling lethargic . Try eating a diet rich in lean protein such as fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, peas and lentils. They will help you feel fuller for longer, so you can slim down in a healthier way.
- Catch plenty of Zzz's - However tempting it is to stay up and just finish off the last few favours or table plan, remember research shows that sleep helps boost your immune system, plus you'll feel extra refreshed after a good nights sleep to face the day.
- Scrub-a-dub-dub! - Many infections spread from person to person, germs are picked up easily through keyboards, hand rails and door handles to name but a few. (Eeeww!) It's a good idea to carry around antibacterial gel and getting into the habit of wash your hand regularly for at least 20 seconds with warm water and soap.
- Take your vitamins - Even if you do have a healthy diet you can give your body extra help by adding vitamins to your daily routine. Vitamins A and C have been proven to prevent colds whilst research suggests people who took a garlic supplement were less likely to have a cold.
- Relax! - Stress can make you ill. Planning a wedding can be very stressful so you need to allow yourself time to relax and do something unrelated. It is said exercise is very good at beating stress, failing that treat yourself to a massage or an hour in the bath with a good book.
Uh-Oh! On the day offenders.
So, what if the worst happens and you wake up on the morning of your wedding feeling more like a monster than the blushing bride? There are a few tips you can follow to help you feel and look better.
- Red or puffy eyes - Your beautician should be able to hide any dark circles with a good concealer but you can reduce swelling with a cold wash cloth or if you can get hold of it, cucumber works wonders. Sit with your eyes closed for around 10 minutes and it should help reduce any puffiness by constricting the blood vessels
- Diarrhoea - It could be the nerves! However keeping a supply of Imodium in your survival kit isn't such a bad idea. Remember to keep yourself hydrated otherwise you could end up feeling worse.
- Bloating - Again it could just be those nerves kicking in but Peppermint tea or oil is a quick fix for bloating and abdominal pains.
- Upset Stomachs - Keep a handy bottle of Pepto Bismol in your survival kit. I've also found that a glass of flat fizzy pop can help settle a tummy. Place a metal spoon in the glass to remove some of the bubbles.
- Sore Throat - Sip a hot drink like honey and lemon or ginger tea. Any hot thin drink is good for helping sooth a sore throat. You may also want to keep a pack of throat soothers in your survival kit.
- Colds, coughs and sneezes - Unfortunately there isn't a quick fix. Take paracetamol or a decongestant to help with any pain. I have always found the Sudafed Nasal Spray to be pretty effective for blocked noses. Remember to dab moisturiser around your nose to stop it becoming red and dry.
- Spots - Today of all days you wake up with what looks like the start of a new nose. Don't panic and whatever you do... do NOT squeeze, you'll only make it worse. Any good beautician will be able to cover it but you can help reduce the swelling by applying a cold wash cloth over the offending pimple. Toothpaste, tea tree oil and cucumber are also good at helping to reduce the red and swollen spot.
The chances are you'll wake up feeling as fresh as a daisy on your wedding day, but if you don't, as hard as it may be... relax. If you panic and start to get yourself upset you'll only make yourself feel worse. Enjoy the day, trust me as long as I can walk I'm getting myself down that aisle!

For years Netherton has lived in the shadow of Dudley, of which it is a part. However, this book shows that Netherton was a remarkably complete community in its own right - even though this was never recognised by the organisation of local government. Every ingredient of Black Country history was to be found in Netherton - coal mining, metal-bashing, canals, pubs, chapels, housing of all kinds, and an amazing variety of urban landscapes and vistas.Ned Williams, one of the Black County's foremost local historians, wrote the first book about this neglected corner of the Black Country for Sutton in 2006, and the wide-ranging collection of photographs he presents here in this second volume will stir further memories for locals.
Ned Williams is an exile from London who has lived in the Black Country since 1962. For thirty years he taught at Wulfrun College, and now he teaches, researches and writes on local subjects. His previous books for Sutton include two earlier volumes of Black Country Chapels, and a number of other books in the Britain in Old Photographs series, including, Quarry Bank and Netherton.

Undergraduate research can be incredibly rewarding, but where do you start and how do you succeed? Navigating this unfamiliar territory is not easy. Here you will find advice on how to find a research position, and how to get the most out of your experience.
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
— Albert Szent-Györgi (1893-1986) U. S. biochemist.
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
Before starting an experiment, you should be able to predict what the results will be if you're successful, and what the results might be if you're not.
Although you won't be able to anticipate every possible outcome for every experiment, knowing the probable ones before you start will help you understand and correctly interpret the results you get.
Not only will this help you become a more independent researcher, but also it will help you make a more meaningful connection with your project.
When you're in a rush to wrap up your lab day, it may be temping to save a little time and not label a tube, bottle, or component--after all you know what it is. But that is a sure recipe for disaster.
When placing your tubes in the microcentrifuge, If your research supervisor doesn't have a preference, then always place the tubes hinge up. If you develop this habit, it will serve you well.
For example, if you have a pellet after the spin, you'll always know that it will be opposite the hinge*. If instead of a pellet, you have a streak of material on the side of the tube, you'll know which side to avoid when pipetting off excess liquid.
Even if you're given the option of showing up 'whenever,' schedule your research time because doing so will lead to more advantages than having a spontaneous schedule.
Although there are several advantages to scheduling your lab time, three are:
In a lab, many reagents look similar either in color or formula and substituting one for another can cause substantial frustration for both you and your mentor. Back in the day, one of my student's experiment failed several times before I realized he was substituting EDTA for EGTA. That one letter made all the difference...
Whether you're new to the lab or in a hurry, double check your notes and the bottle label to make sure you have the correct one.
Research has enough disappointments and surprises that are beyond our control. So, there is no reason that you should ever struggle with low ink or faded labels.
At the bench, you might use a Sharpie as much as a pipette, calculator, or rack. (It's safe to bet that you use one as much as you use microcentrifuge tubes.)
A worn out pen is a seemingly small frustration but it's a hassle you don't need--save your energy for the big problems.

Being a child of a celebrity can be a curse rather than a blessing. Will people take you seriously?
