Finally the day is here, and so my stories of Halloween past will come to a close with this one final Halloween blog. This year, as I've hashed out over many blogs, my children decided to go as a pirate and a football player. (Okay, not just any football player, but as Aaron Rodgers. This was a compromise after days of negotiation.) This was one of the most action packed weekends we've seen in a long while, and, though I'm falling asleep writing this, it was GREAT!
The weekend started with the family packing up and heading out to Player's Choice (which happens to be where I play roller derby…) and attending a "Spooktacular" event. This event had "trick or treat alley", which held tables where local family oriented vendors could give candies to children and get their name out in the community. After the kids got through the alley (with bags full of giveaways, literally) they were able to enjoy many inflatable jumping toys, a petting zoo, photography and a costume contest, among other things. It was really a fun event and the boys left as tired as I did. (Also of note, the Foxz rollergirls donated time to running the event, and so many of my derby friends got to see my kids dressed up. That was pretty cool also.) When we arrived home, we carved pumpkins and roasted the seeds. The boys went to bed easily as they had been all tired out from their play.
On Saturday, we bravely held our first "duel" sleepover. Both Jake and Ben had been allowed to invite a friend over. Jake invited his friend Cameron. (You might recall he recently went to his birthday party and guest blogged about it.) Unfortunately, Ben's friend presented with some communication issues, and was unable to come over. But, at the last minute, I found a 5 year old loan from my friend Lisa! Lisa's son Jadon decided to come over to even out our party. He even chose to stay the night. The mix of kids was interesting. They all got along well and there were times that Ben and Cameron were playing while Jadon and Jake were sharing toys. It was actually much better than I could've imagined. Much to my surprise, after playing hard for hours, the boys went to bed easily before 9 o'clock and all slept in until about 6am, allowing Ryan and I to stay in bed till nearly 8am. That really helped out, since today, of course, I expected my children to do a marathon of trick-or-treating. Today, after I returned the boys I had loaned out to their rightful mothers, I set about getting the kids ready for Halloween. When the time finally came, I dressed both boys, and we played outside taking pictures. They had a great time posing for the camera this year. That was also a nice change of pace.
Jake's costume was fantastic. I'd estimate that 3 of every 5 houses congratulated him on "today's big win". Many houses commented that it was nice to see a kid with the "right" jersey, which I believe to be an indirect way of saying, "glad he's not Favre." Every time someone commented on his costume, Jake was kind enough to return with some polite token, such as "it was a great game" or "we really kicked their butts." I think somehow that the adults speaking with him enjoyed the positive interaction with a young person as much as he felt proud to have his costume recognized. Also, there were two separate groups of older girls that wooted and wooed over dreamy Aaron Rodgers. (Don't think Jake didn't notice, because the blush on his face would prove you wrong.)
Benjamin was using the pirate costume to its fullest advantage. Apparently, just so you know, pirates don't eat veggies. Pirates don't get cold. Pirates can eat any candy they want. Pirates can eat as much candy as they want. You might be surprised to find out that pirates, in fact, do not do anything that Ben does not like to do. Go figure!
Unlike Jake, who looked famously comfortable in his role of Aaron, Ben was having a few minor wardrobe malfunctions. Mostly, the strap on Ben's eye patch kept covering the opposite eye, leaving him blinded in both eyes. As many times as I tried to move it, he kept pushing it back to the spot that forced him to squint. Also, I had picked out pirates boots that were just a few sizes too large, and so Ben took more than one tumble down porch steps today. (Thank goodness pirates don't get hurt or cry!) Eventually, Ben's belts refused to remain tied as his candy bag continually hit them, and somehow, he broke his candy handle. So, poor Pirate Ben was a hot mess by the time we headed around our final block. The good news is, as hard as it was to watch, he seemed completely unaffected by the entire struggle with his wardrobe.
Both kids were adorable in their approach to the doors. Jake, whose shoes fit him, sprinted to the next lighted porch and rang the door bell. Ben would then be prompted to make a mad dash from 50 yards away each time, screaming, "TRUCKER TREAT" as loud as he could until he caught Jake at the door. Gradually throughout the nights both kids started picking back up on their manners and remembering to thank each person that granted them treats. I was very proud of their progress.
On a final Halloween note, earlier this month, I read many blogs alluding to Halloween as a day for kids to dress up and go door to door begging for candy. And, I suppose in its most basic form, Halloween probably does appear that way. However, I hope through my stories this month, I have shared a deeper meaning to the holiday, not specifically religious or cultural. I believe Halloween is a time where kids are allowed to be inspired and become who they want to be, and a time where they are momentarily brave enough to befriend the generations that went before them. I believe that Halloween can be used as a great time for learning creativity, kindness and manners. I believe the adults who buy buckets of candy are probably more excited to watch the ghosts and ghouls arrive at their doors than the kids are excited to partake of their candies. All in all, I love the whimsy of Halloween and the fun spirit of combined neighborhoods allowing one another to be silly and enjoy a moment. This was a fantastic Halloween. Here's to hoping yours was fun as well!

I really want it!!
We are looking at replacing our sliding glass door with this much cooler option. We would do wood rather than white, and is would be AWESOME! The cats could look out the window still, we could open the side windows for some fresh air, and it has actual locks and security so we won't be robbed!

Might be a tough go tonight. Francisco Liriano has been pitching well, and old pal Harang looks like he might finally, inevitably be turning back into Aaron Harang.
But we've thought that before, and he's rebounded. Maybe he will again.
For reasons known only to Fredi, BK returns to the lineup, hitting 8th. Fun fact: BK has already surpassed last year's strikeout total. Fun fact 2: BK has six fewer career strikeouts than Babe Ruth had, in just 3,996 fewer at-bats. Granted, Gosselin has been better than Bonifacio. Still, LaStella must wonder if he'd be in the lineup more if the Braves were paying him about $14.5 million more this year. Tonight's batting order:
Heyward, Gosselin, Freeman, JUpton, Johnson, Gattis, Simmons, BK153, Harang.

Currently on view at Gagosian Gallery's Park & 75 location in NYC is a solo exhibition by the Italian artist Rudolf Stingel. The exhibition comprises three large scale paintings from 2012 and one small work on paper from 2010.
Central to Stingel's oeuvre is the passage of time rendered palpable, together with the expansion of the vocabulary of painting and its perception: from the abstract tulle silver paintings of the 1990s to the carpet installations that aestheticized both the surface of spaces and visitors' traces; from the series of melancholic self-portraits to the latest abstract paintings. Stingel's artistic output is prolific and visually diverse, yet meticulous and generous in its offering.

Against Apathy: The University of Virginia's Critical Mass
U.Va.'s first fully on-line magazine fights the status quo.
By Moira Koch
It is minutes before the Critical Mass meeting is scheduled to begin, and the room is surprisingly quiet. About twenty students are already seated at the small desks in the Minor Hall classroom, and several more trickle in: two girls in retro seventies' era jackets. A WASP in the standard University of Virginia fleece vest. A boy with hair a shocking shade of orange. Several Asians, one black, and one Hispanic student. They take their seats and talk quietly, or approach Mingming Wu and Breshen Rogers, the two student editors seated at the front of the classroom.
At the stroke of seven, Mingming stands up and approaches the podium. The other members focus on the slight Asian woman in hiking boots. The room grows quiet. "Tonight we're going to do editing workshops," she begins, explaining the formats for the workshops and the importance of tough criticism. "We're also trying to think of sexy ways to present the article on the page so it looks really smooth."
"Remember, though, with criticism," Breshen, the other editor, emphasizes quietly, "be heavy. Be firm."
Be heavy. The members of Critical Mass take themselves seriously. They are trying to establish the most progressive magazine at the University of Virginia, both in content and in presentation. Last year, they started the first completely on-line magazine at the U.Va. This year, they have both paper and electronic versions of the magazine available in an attempt to reach as many people as possible, both inside and outside the University. Their goal is not to produce another nicely-packaged product for students to skim during dry classes, but to cause rebellion in the minds of students. They are attempting to disturb hundreds of years of tradition, to crack the conservative mindset of U.Va. students, and to make readers respond.
Not surprisingly, Critical Mass is more graphic and controversial than any other magazine offered ata, including the often-offensive Declaration. And the content is much more varied. If you have strong beliefs, prepare yourself. Critical Mass criticizes everything, from the treatment of women in the University, to the use of bleached paper in classrooms, to the role of the free market in society. Some articles read like political treatises, others--well, if you cringe at four-letter words, be prepared. Here's an excerpt from graduate Ranald Woodaman's piece about the gay male body in America: "And so I have a cock and balls, not a pussy. Vive la difference-no. But simply la difference vive. If I didn't queer my appearance and my attitude so much I could further capitalize on my large hairy frame." Controversial? Yes, but it gets attention, and that's just what Critical Mass wants to do.
"We didn't think that there were any magazines devoted to progressive ideas and political issues," co-editor Mingming explains. Mingming--popular activist and political and social thought major--acknowledges that "progressive's hard to define. It's a strategic looses alliance of groups put together because of their common interests in having every human voice represented." In other words, all opinions are entertained. Environmentalists, gay and lesbian rights activists and community workers have an opportunity to share their views. Lipstick and hard-line feminists can both speak, allowing Critical Mass to avoid factions.
By starting Critical Mass, Mingming and the other members are filling a void at the university. U.Va students are known for their apathy. In a recent issue of Harper's Magazine, U.Va. history professor Mark Edmundson wrote about the blandness of college students in general and his own students in particular, men and women who are "very, very self-contained." The students Edmundson describes as typical "will not generally...indict the current system. They won't talk about how the exigencies of capitalism lead to a reserve army of the unemployed and nearly inevitable misery. That would be getting too loud, too brash. For the pervading view is the cool consumer perspective, where passion and strong admiration are forbidden."
It is against this mindset that Critical Mass works. Mingming's first editorial last year, written with Breshen Rogers months before the Edmundson article, sums up the goals of the magazine best: "It is our goal to invigorate political discussion, to offer progressive argument, and to transform the complacent atmosphere hereat U.Va. into one of active discussion and (dare we say!) dissent." Critical Mass has created what they call a "public space," a "soapbox" where students can be heard.
And, because the magazine began on-line where any member of the virtual community can have his say, Critical Mass is truly a cyber-soapbox. Mingming speaks of creating a "virtual community" on the Web, where anyone anywhere can use the Critical Mass Website to speak his mind, through e-mail, articles, and letters to the editor. And, because the Web is not limited to University students, Critical Mass has the potential to meet millions throughout the world, connecting activist groups and providing links to other publications. Websites such as these are the town squares of the global village.
Originally, the five founders of Critical Mass didn't plan to go on-line. They wanted to distribute a purely paper magazine, but money was an obstacle. When they conceived of the magazine last October, funds for the year had already been distributed among U.Va publications. "It wasn't like anyone wanted to shaft us," says Mingming. "But we didn't want to lose our fire." So they moved to a free forum: the Internet. They applied for CIO (Contracted Independent Organization) status from Student Council, and wrote a required constitution, modeled, surprisingly, on their ultraconservative rivals, the Virginia Advocate. A month later, Critical Mass went on-line.
The biggest problem has been publicity. Students couldn't pick up the magazine on the way to class or off the news rack at the gym; they had to actively look for the magazine over the Web. "We had a huge publicity drive at first," Mingming explains. "We put cards on every computer and flyers everywhere, but being on-line definitely hurt."
Unlike hard-copy magazines, Critical Mass on-line is not limited by space requirements or printing costs, and the number of articles that can be posted is virtually unlimited. There are more opportunities on the Web. Mingming describes future possible additions to their site, including a guest list, more links to other liberal publications, and a sign showing the "hits," or the number of times their site is accessed. Working on the Web is a double-edged sword, however. "As a writer, you always want to write more rather than less. On the Web, we had a tendency to write as much as ten pages...The danger [is] that the Web isn't like paper. It's hard to read, and people don't want to scroll and scroll."
Finally, because the magazine is a CIO, Critical Mass "can't use the Web to its subversive potential," Mingming says candidly. The CIO requires the magazine to follow standards of good taste, though Critical Mass monitors itself so far through common sense and editing sessions. As radical as it is for U.VA., though, the magazine is positively tame for the Web, where lesbian love stories, psychic chat rooms, and decapitated bodies appear at the click of a mouse. Because they are competing against so many other extremist websites, it is easy for browsers to either ignore or to shrug off the ideas offered in Critical Mass. The ability to influence people, to be subversive, is "also the ability to reach people" Mingming explains. "[We're] easy to discount because you see so many wacky things."
Even with the first paper version of the magazine distributed in October, Critical Mass has not produced much change in the status quo at U.Va. The hard version of the magazine is close in content and spirit to the Web version, but has entered the classrooms and cafeterias of the University with barely a ripple. "The University ignores us," Mingming says plainly. Most students have not even heard of Critical Mass, much less responded to it. The day after the first hard issue of Critical Mass was available, a visitor to U.Va. could hear conversations about the football season, mid-terms, and, occasionally, the Virginia elections. Discussions about progressivism exist in the pages of Critical Mass, but cannot yet be heard on Grounds. The magazine has a long way to go before students begin to discuss anti-immigration laws over coffee.
Which isn't to say that the members of Critical Mass aren't making some waves. An informal survey at one staff meeting showed that almost all of the members first heard of the journal by word of mouth, or by locating it on the Web. And, last year, Critical Mass, led by members such as Mingming and Breshen, helped to organize the March labor movement begun by U.Va. professors and teaching assistants. In a week-long forum they protested labor policies at the University. The event was widely publicized, both in Critical Mass and in other student and local publications. Even Ralph Nader made an appearance as a speaker at the Chemistry building. Hundreds of students turned out for the labor rally, but "momentum was lost very quickly after that," Mingming says.
It is the staff's goal to keep the momentum for such movements going. In theory, Critical Mass should soon have the potential, through on-line and off-line versions, to physically reach more students than any other U.Va. publication. In the process, they hope to crack what Edmundson describes as the college culture, a "culture tensely committed to a laid-back norm."
Meanwhile, in Minor Hall 135, members are fighting the laid-back norm. After an hour of individual editing, and an hour of heated discussion and criticism about the contents of each article, the meeting is winding down. Several students continue to argue about the morality of political fundraising as they put on their jackets and pick up their bookbags. Their voices carry across the room, reaching the two male students in black discussing the Virginia Film Festival, and the three students to their left fleshing out racial attitudes at the University. Critical Mass members may not be the norm, but they are college students, and they are anything but apathetic. Though they have not yet caused widespread dissension, the seeds are there, in their website, the voices of their members, and now, the pages of their magazine.
Critical Mass is available monthly in paper, and on the Web, at http://scs.student.Virginia.EDU/~critical/. The staff welcome e-mail and comments. Meetings are held every Monday at 7 p.m. in Minor 135.Next Story

Getting the iron out
From Philadelphia, at a meeting of the American Society of Hematology
While transfusions are lifesavers for many anemia patients, they introduce excess iron into recipients. This overload can damage the liver, pancreas, and heart. A new pill that reverses this process may vastly improve the lives of anemia patients, a new study shows.
The standard drug for removing iron from the body is deferoxamine mesylate. It chemically captures, or chelates, excess iron but must be given intravenously or by injection. The chief problem with deferoxamine mesylate therapy is that patients sometimes skip treatments, notes Stanley L. Schrier of Stanford University. A pill-based alternative would presumably be easier for patients to follow.
The new medication, now designated as ICL670, binds to excess iron, and these complexes ultimately leave the body in the feces. Researchers in Italy compared deferoxamine mesylate with ICL670 in 71 patients with an average age of 25. Th

Coursework emphasizes laboratory skills, including safety procedures and lab management. Medical lab technicians can obtain a general certification as a medical laboratory technician, or a certification in a specialty, such as medical technology.
Medical technologist jobs are projected to grow 16% in the coming years. An increase in the aging population is expected to lead to a greater need to diagnose medical conditions, such as cancer or type II diabetes. Finally, the average salary for clinical laboratory technicians was $50,550 in May 2015, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

As a kid in NZ I'm pretty sure I remember walking to school and cracking the ice on puddles as I went. Maybe the climate has warmed or maybe I just don't get up and out of the houses that early but I haven't had that kind of experience since.
So I was surprised to find yesterday morning the entire car covered in a layer of ice. A completely wonderful surprise (as long as it doesn't happen too often) and one that was quickly fixed with a bucket of hot water and a mop.
Not so wonderful were the occasional stretches of footpath uniformly covered in ice I noticed as I drove along. I later learned these were caused by home owner's not turning off their pre-programmed overnight lawn sprinklers. Some small kids were having a fun time sliding along them but let's hope no one shattered a pelvis.

Every household is to have a legal right to high-speed broadband under measures to make the UK a "world leader in the digital economy".
The Government expects an initial minimum speed of at least 10 Mbps (megabits per second) under the new broadband universal service obligation (USO) included in the Digital Economy Bill, which will also include powers to direct Ofcom to review this over time to ensure it is "still sufficient for modern life".
There would be a reasonable cost threshold above which the remotest properties could be expected to contribute to the cost of their connection.
The Government said a USO set at 10Mbps could benefit up to a million UK premises which might otherwise be left behind.
The Bill, which aims to enable the building of a "world-class digital infrastructure" including fast broadband and mobile networks, also includes a new Electronic Communications Code to cut the cost and simplify the building of mobile and superfast broadband infrastructure and new and simpler planning rules for building infrastructure.
Under efforts to empower consumers, Ofcom will be able to order providers to release data about complaints and broadband speeds to help consumers make informed choices, and those wanting to switch would only have to deal with their new provider to speed up and simplify the process.
In a significant step, consumers would have the right to automatic compensation when things go wrong with their broadband.
Age verification will be required for all sites containing pornographic material, following a study last year that found one in five children aged between 11 and 17 had seen pornographic images that had shocked or upset them.
Consumers will be further encouraged to switch between providers under the Better Markets Bill, which also aims to speed up the decision-making process for competition investigations.
Figures suggested many households could save up to £390 a year by switching three providers.
Tech entrepreneur and CEO of Manchester-based UKFast, Lawrence Jones welcomed the progress being made in the Digital Economy Bill .
He said: "The plans to boost mobile and 4G signal are key, although I'd say it's coming a little late. How many lost working hours can be put down to a lack of connectivity on trains, for example? It must be hundreds of thousands a year. So It's key for our businesses to address these connectivity issues.
"But any progressive steps being taken here are undermined by Theresa May's ludicrous Snooper's Charter (Investigatory Powers Bill). Apart from the fact that it's un-British and unethical to collect this bulk private data from people, the impact it could have on British digital businesses is significant. We currently trade on the fact that we have more security and privacy rights than our American counterparts, but that competitive advantage could be removed."

First up, a note about this post title- I typed in 'food' and it auto corrected to 'good'. I liked it, so I left it. Perhaps it's true, I assume most good lovers are food lovers and vice versa. Perhaps it will also encourage the more egotistical among us to click on the post?
Anyway, what I am posting about is that I've finally got around to writing up another post over on my other blog…it's about the delicious camping birthday dinner we had whilst up North. (Reading this again it sounds so frickin boring, but I promise it's not.)
Since that blog only has four followers (lol) that I know of thus far, I thought I'd best give a heads up over here.
So please head over to: www.makinglovewithfood.wordpress.com for a delicious new recipe and a little more of our special kind of love-makin'…
Oh and feel free to press follow so I don't need to continue to plague you lot with my updates!

Back in the early days of 1981, I was living in a dull and small minded city in Canada when I came across a magazine that had featured some fashions I'd never seen before, I snapped it up without bothering to look inside to see if it was worth the fact that I was about to spend most of my pocket money, I had to know about this. The style was so different to the basic jeans and t-shirt uniform, or ugly polyester clothing that was usually on offer at every shop, (save for one that had recently opened, Le Chateau back in the early 1980's was cool). Actually, saying it was merely different doesn't do the style justice, it was a complete 180′ from what I was stuck with, and it was just what I had been longing for, this was like wearing art!
My sewing skills were, and remain today, mediocre and I had a difficult time finding any decent material, so when I spent the following summer in the UK I spent most of my saved money on the copies I found in the high street shops. Yes, I was imitating but with limited resources I had little choice, but it started me on a path where I began to make my own style, and yes I did stand out, but I was already firmly established as the weird girl so this fashion was, (I think), expected.
I rummaged through charity shops and found some gems, made some alterations to some generic fashions, and mixed matched them both. There were some tragic mistakes, but a few hits, I had a black chiffon dress that I found in a charity shop, it was of the early 1960's, and while I didn't alter it, the accessories I wore with it really changed the style. It was my favourite and I wore it until it began to literally fall to pieces.
A few months ago, I was going to spend a few days of wandering London, and a couple of days before I was to arrive I took a look online to see what was going on, on my first day, (I needed to keep busy on my most sleep deprived day), and I came across an exhibit at the V&A museum. A museum isn't what I would plan for such a day but when I read what the Club to Catwalk exhibit was about, I wasn't about to wait, this about the beginning of a new and exciting, and fun part of my life, I couldn't wait to relive it.
While I've just realised I've aged myself, I was too young, (not to mention the fact that I was living well over 5000 kms, or over 3000 miles away), to be a part of the club scene from which this fabulous fashions came from, but I lived it vicariously which was of some consolation to me.
When I arrived I sought out the exhibit, making it my first stop at the museum, (this place has long been one of my most favoured places to wander about, I used to spend many Sunday's, slightly hungover, but able to admire the beauty of the building and it's contents), I eagerly handed over my £5 but was immediately disappointed by the sign that said "no photography," not that was going to stop me of course but it meant getting any decent photo's of the clothes was going to be a bit of an annoyance. There were plenty of security, watching everyone, I saw a few be told off for trying to take some photo's, but I had my phone, and I was receiving a lot of messages that afternoon…. To be honest I found later as I took photo's of other items in the museum, the lighting, (perhaps purposely), is not for taking pictures, so my apologies in advance for the poor quality.
The exhibit is still on, until 16 Feb 2014, and I highly recommend you visit it, even if you have no interest in fashion history the style also played a large part of the music scene in that decade, and it began the careers of some truly brilliant designers, and you owe it to yourself to see the best of it, I hope it inspires you as well.
I loved the exhibition, there were some old favourites and some I may have missed but it brought back some good memories and I'll be honest, I could still wear this style, (well some of it).

Vendor Insight - Situated in a superb location right in the heart of the delightful village of Yardley Gobion is The Old Hall, an extremely attractive property that dates back to 1865. The house was originally built as a social club for the men and boys of the village, however in 2005 it was both extended and beautifully renovated and is now a very spacious and immaculately presented family home.
Before we purchased The Old Hall in 2010 we were living not far from here in another property within the village, says Terence, but our children were growing up and about to move on so we decided to downsize a little. When we came across this property, though it wasnt an awful lot smaller than the house we were in, we were so taken by the peaceful location and the character of the house, that we decided to go for it. The previous owners had done a beautiful job of renovating the property and they managed to retain all of its external period charm, while giving it a more contemporary look and feel inside. Theres an easy flow from room to room - which makes it a very comfortable house to live in and also ideal for entertaining all of the rooms are generously proportioned and theres also a really nice connection with the garden via the dining room and the kitchen.
The garden is a really good size and backs onto a small paddock, so its peaceful and private, continues Terence. Theres a very large patio terrace where we have a table and chairs and the BBQ, and the rest of the space is laid to lawn with a mature border of shrubs and trees. I must say weve gained an awful lot of enjoyment from the garden, both as a family space and for entertaining friends.
The hub of the home is the lovely big kitchen, says Terence. We have a settee and bar stools, so its not only practical but its also a very sociable space. It also has patio doors, so the space can be extended into the garden when the weather is warm.
A new shop has just opened up in the village, so day-to-day needs are catered for, says Terence, and we also have a nice pub and a sports-and-social club close by, but what I love most about the location is that its so incredibly peaceful.
In the smallest reception room weve created a gym and sauna, Terence continues, which is a really nice feature of the property.
Ill definitely miss the peaceful nature of the location when we move, but also the space both inside the house and out in the garden. Its just a really lovely family home.

6:00 AM: Chalene's Extreme Lean Circuit – COMPLETED
6:45 AM: Brazilian Buttlift Abs – COMPLETED
I'm slow-moving today… Can you tell?!? That's what happens when you're catching up on The Office. I am so behind on that show it's not even funny; well, actually, the show is freaking hilarious. Pedro and I were cracking up to the point that I almost peed in my pants.
Anyhow, I'm starting to get a bit apprehensive with this heat. I absolutely hate running in heat. The weather is supposed to cool down by next week and I pray that mother nature behaves. I start training for the marathon in two weeks (decided on a 16-week plan) and just thinking about the heatwaves are making me cry.
On another note, Pedro finally did what he said he would do; he make my "wall of fame" look pretty.
It only took him seven months to hang up my medal-holder.
Isn't she a beaut? You'd think this would give me some motivation, but this weather… Gosh, it has got me discouraged.
How do you keep motivated in the summer heat? Remember, I have a one-year old to factor in. We can go for a run anytime before 6-7 AM (if it's a 3-5 miler), but again, her sleep schedule is not consistent. My long runs I am going to have to start before the sun comes up (well, that's if the weather continues on this way. I'm afraid it will get worse…). Tips, Tips, Tips!!!!

- Create your own specific plan of action on what you want in life. A good one helps you define your preferred future (your dream life), clarifies your life's purpose, evaluates your current reality in the basic areas of life (financial, family, career, health, spiritual, etc.), reveals your personal values for each life area (the beliefs that are important to you), sets well-defined goals, and creates a specific plan of action.
- Be a lifelong learner. Read amazing books and resources personal growth. Take classes (formal or informal). Subscribe to industry blogs. Attend webinars and listen to podcasts. But don't stop there – you've got to apply what you read and hear, and take action!
- Surround yourself with excellence. It's been said that you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. In other words, who you spend time with influences the person you become.
- Don't spend your precious time with people who don't believe in you or your goals. We all need to have positive people in our lives. And maybe you need a mentor or coach who can help you take action on your goals.
- Keep improving your communication skills. Buffett mentioned this in one of the interviews. Communication skills are extremely important today. And not just in how to be a great speaker, but also a great listener. And a good writer. If you intend to share what you learn with your audience, communicate better by writing your most amazing pieces of ideas and thoughts.
- Discover your true needs. No two people have the exact same needs. Establish what's most important for you to gain, have, and keep in your life, e.g., what you truly need as opposed to what you simply want.
- Raise your self-worth. Even if you think you already possess a healthy dose of self-esteem, work to improve your opinion of yourself. This calls for a remorseless disposal of fears and perceived insecurities as well as the healing of old wounds once and for all.
- Create a bigger version of yourself. Don't settle on a self-imposed plateau; always aim a bit higher than before. Visualize your ideal life — regardless of how unattainable it may seem now — and act to manifest it one element at a time.
- Create a bigger version of yourself. Don't settle on a self-imposed plateau; always aim a bit higher than before. Visualize your ideal life — regardless of how unattainable it may seem now — and act to manifest it one element at a time.
- Do what you love. Oftentimes it is the simplest things that deliver the most profound joy, yet we barely find time for these precious activities. Don't postpone your simple pleasures, whether you like to read or sing or hike. Perform actions grounded in a deep seat of love every day.
- Never go against your intuition. Your intuition knows more than you think. Learn to trust your inner voice without hesitation; reason may tell you one thing, but your instinct tells you the right thing, always.
Invest in yourself

Liberia, the country worst hit by West Africa's Ebola epidemic, should see thousands of new cases in coming weeks as the virus spreads exponentially, the World Health Organisation has said.
The epidemic, the worst since the disease was discovered in 1976, has killed some 2,100 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria and has also spread to Senegal, Reuters reports.
The WHO believes it will take six to nine months to contain and may infect up to 20,000 people.
In Liberia, the disease has already killed 1,089 people – more than half of all deaths reported since March in this regional epidemic.
"Transmission of the Ebola virus in Liberia is already intense and the number of new cases is increasing exponentially," the United Nations' agency said in a statement. "The number of new cases is moving far faster than the capacity to manage them in Ebola-specific treatment centres."
14 of Liberia's 15 counties have reported confirmed cases. As soon as a new Ebola treatment centre is opened, it immediately overflows with patients.
"In Monrovia, taxis filled with entire families, of whom some members are thought to be infected with the Ebola virus, crisscross the city, searching for a treatment bed. There are none," it said.
In Montserrado County, which includes the capital Monrovia and is home to more than one million people, a WHO investigative team estimated that 1,000 beds are urgently needed for Ebola patients, the statement said.
Motorbike-taxis and regular taxis have become "a hot source" of Ebola

Opinion: The legend of Old Zeekle
Brockton McKinney
November 14, 2014
Brockton McKinney
NC Comicon
Durham Convention Center
Saturday, Nov. 15–Sunday, Nov. 16
I'm sitting at a table in a hotel ballroom at an undisclosed location on the East Coast.
To my left, a Stormtrooper with a boom box that's been playing the
theme on a loop for the past two hours has decided to dance in front of his table. He appears to be doing the Electric Slide.
To my right, a vampire clown is attempting to bum a cigarette from the now-adult actor that played the little kid in the
Child's Play
films. This is not a dream. This is life on the comic convention circuit. This is my life: Con Life.
I've been on the comics scene for a decade, but I still consider myself a newbie. As one of the smallest fish in a massively talented pond, I'm one of the thousands of folks trying to make a career writing comic books now. By the end of this year, I will have been a guest at 26 comic book-related events or conventions. Last year, it was more than 30.
My childhood pal and constant table-mate, Bo Fader, is an amazing artist, and he and I rarely turn down an invitation to any show. We have books to promote, people to meet, flesh to press and miles to travel. It can be a grind but … I love it. And it produces some amazing road stories.
The scene above is from our "Year One"—our origin story, if you will. Let's return to that moment. It's probably the third show we've ever done, and even so, I can tell that it's not going very well. It's a three-day event and we're only halfway through the first afternoon, but I'm already scared.
Bo saw a toy from the movie
that he wants to buy, but so far, that's been the high point. We've been sitting at the table for hours and not one person has come by. Worrisome, especially when the owner of the convention walks up with a look that reads as very sad, or perhaps very constipated. I ask how it's going.
"Not good, boys," he says gravely. "Should be more people. My head hurts. I could just kill myself."
Although I feel that it's probably unprofessional of him to be scaring me like this, I pipe up and beg him to please not kill himself. I say that the show will most likely get better, right? He just mumbles something and walks off. As the Stormtrooper begins Electric Sliding to the
theme, Bo says, "This might be a bust. I'm gonna go ahead and buy that Alien before we bail."
But Bo decides not to purchase a toy he can't afford, and we focus instead on drawing some new pieces to sell. I've got my head down, scribbling something, and when I look up, an older gentleman has sauntered over to the table. He begins to peruse our display of the comics we write and draw, especially the zombie drawings—famous cartoon characters we've redrawn as the undead. This nice fellow seems intrigued.
"You turn people into zombies?" he asks.
"Well, mostly cartoon characters, but yeah, we can zombify anyone!" Bo says. He is jubilant. This might be our first sale of the day.
"You should do Old Zeekle," the man says, smiling back.
I do not know who Old Zeekle is. I look at Bo. He does not know who Old Zeekle is. "Oh … um … who?" I smile weakly. We are going to lose this sale.
The man says nothing and continues to look through the zombie book. I shoot a glance at Bo. Can the man not hear me? Bo looks confused as well, but he is relentless, and asks: "Who is Old Zeekle?"
The man looks up slowly, but does not acknowledge the question. He stares at both of us and we uncomfortably stare back.
"Eh," he grunts and walks away.
We're both smiling now. That was weird, and if we weren't going to make a sale, at least we had something funny to cheer us up.
"Who the hell is Old Zeekle?!" Bo chokes out between laughs. And of course, the older gentleman hears him.
Ah, come on. He's like five tables down the row and
he can hear us?
"$%&# YOU!" he shouts, extending the boniest middle finger I have ever seen. I'm not joking. It's like his gnarled hand was made for the sole purpose of giving the greatest middle finger the world has ever known, and we are lucky enough to be the recipients.
It freaks us out and we shut up. We weren't making fun of the guy; we'd just had a crappy day and were genuinely cheered by the exchange. But life is too short to dwell. It was lunchtime, and my stomach was growling like Chucky from
Child's Play
. If we could at least get some hotel chow, it would be the only win of the day.
Bo grabbed what little money we had and went off to find the arena concession stand in search of filthy corndogs. When he came back sans corndogs, he had a horrible look on his face.
"What's wrong?" I asked. I was cranky and my stomach demanded filthy corndogs. "Where's the food?"
"Come on," Bo said gravely. "You gotta see this."
I followed him to middle of the convention center, which wasn't visible from our table, and tried to discern what he was on about.
"Look." Bo pointed to a giant banner hanging on the far wall.
It was a massive, majestic portrait of a man in repose—
of the older gentleman
. It said he was "Guest of Honor." It said he was a "Ghost Hunter."
It said his name was "Ron Zeekle."
"Ah, #$#%," I said. How were we supposed to know he wanted us to draw
We sat back at our table after obtaining the corndogs, which were, in fact, quite filthy. It wasn't long before the owner of the show dropped back by to have words with us. He looked suicidal as usual, and he begged us not to curse at the guest of honor anymore.
We could have fought it, arguing that it was actually Old Zeekle who cursed at us; that his crypt-keeping finger had shown us great malice. But we stayed quiet. We realized we'd kinda been dicks and had learned a valuable lesson. That happened a lot at first, and we eventually recorded such lessons in our "Con Rulebook." Over the years, we've crammed the book full.
A few selections from the Rulebook we'll be keeping in mind at NC Comicon this weekend:
—Always be respectful of everyone at the show.
—Be aware of the guests you'll be around at the show.
—You're lucky to be here. Act like it.
—Don't touch anybody. I don't give a damn how cool their costume looks.
—Always be on time. (We struggle with this one.)
—Always stay until the show's over. Never desert your table, even when beer awaits. (We struggle with this one.)
A decade of screwing-up makes for a fairly enormous rulebook, but those will do for now. I've got some insane convention stories, like the time a convention manager asked us to kill a ghost. Seriously. Ask me about it at NC Comicon.

A colleague recently started a thread for a kitchen design group on a popular social network with the following statement: "It may be time for me to change to another design program-which does beautiful renderings/realistic and is not too hard to learn?" At the moment, I have been struggling with the same scenario and have decided that, at this point –that statement is basically an oxymoron. How you say? Well first of all, any new design software undertaken is going to be a learning curve even for the most experienced design technophiles. When you add the component of creating beautiful and realistic renderings, you've opened up a whole new can of worms! Sorry my friend, their is no 'easy button.'
That being said, design software is but a tool –a bit more intuitive and a bunch more complex than say a pencil or pen– but a tool just the same. It is also usually bundled in with components that are integral for other aspects of the design business and specific to a particular industry (such as mechanical engineering, graphic arts, game design, commercial architecture –or in this case: residential kitchen and bath design). After one has invested a substantial amount of dollars in the virtual art and design media, one must also make a substantial commitment of time, energy and a host of other attitudes (such as patience, perseverance and tenacity) in order to master it.
As kitchen and bath designers, we usually go into the business because we have a passion for one or more aspects of the profession. It might be the challenge of problem solving, crunching the numbers and writing the specifications. It might be a propensity for artistic illustration and creating photo-realistic renderings that evolve into a beautiful space. For some it is making the sale, understanding the psychology behind it and seeing the delight and appreciation on the faces of happy customers. (They don't usually cry because they are overcome with emotion like on HGTV… Usually they're just relieved that it's FINALLY DONE and they don't have to file for bankruptcy.) For others it's orchestrating a project and seeing it evolve from the ether to an actual tangible and functioning piece of art. (This reminds me of a recent plumbing fixture commercial where the designer is standing on a podium with wand in hand, like Mickey in the Sorcerer's Apprentice, while the sinks and tubs with running water dance in unison to orchestra music and to the delight of the prospective homeowners. –LOL I want one of those wands!) While some might find the minutia of design work and extreme attention to detail tedious, there are those who thrive on it and love the process as much as the finely crafted finished product. In order to make a living in this business, you have to be proficient in all of these areas.
So just exactly how "photo-realistic" do renderings have to be? Do you really need color renderings to sell a project anyway? From the business standpoint, I believe it really has to do with many different things. While those in the kitchen design business have to wear many hats, they usually wear some better than others. I've worked with someone who, as one person put it: "could sell you back your ex-wife" but just freaked out when you put him in front of a computer, and couldn't sit long enough to draft a complete set of plans with accurate specs if his life depended on it. Yet he never once asked me to do a color rendering in the years we worked together because it just wasn't a necessary tool he needed to sell a project… a simple line drawing perspective and set of plans was all he ever needed. He was that good. –Of course the housing bubble hadn't burst yet. Could photo-realistic color renderings have increased his already impressive closing ratio?
I'd have to say, if he hadn't retired, that yes there were projects that could have been won with a little more investment of time and resources in producing some renderings. Since the remodel industry is in such dire straights (especially here on the West Coast) since the Recession began, no one (I don't care how good they are at sales or any other area of the Kitchen and Bath Industry) can afford to forgo any tools or talents they may have to be competitive. So YES, color renderings are necessary to compete in today's market. And since others are rendering projects now, the more photo-realistic and professional looking they are, the more competitive the presentation.
I now use a couple of types of software and have used others in the past. The following is my review of the software packages I use:
I have current versions of both 20-20 Design and Chief Architect. 20-20 is more expensive than Chief both in terms of initial outlay and maintenance. All of the renderings on my site: www.pamdesigns.net were done in 20-20. Not because I prefer it over Chief -but because that was what I was using the most at that time. 20-20 has the largest selection of manufacturer-maintained cabinetry catalogs. This is not necessarily an advantage over other design software as many stock cabinet manufacturers now provide quoting programs. My experience has been that (as indicated by the 20-20 sales rep) the ideal of sifting a quote out of the design drawing is too simplistic. There's a lot of other steps I have to undertake to get accurate results. So for me, it's just as easy to do the drawing in 20-20 or Chief and do the quote using the manufacturer's quoting software to create accurate specifications. Chief Architect now has several manufacturers' cabinet catalogs and are actively soliciting other manufacturers to create Chief catalogs.
20-20 renders much quicker than Chief. This is because it uses a different rendering engine. Chief's is POV Ray (uses ray-tracing technology) which is extremely slow in comparison because of how it handles lighting in order to create photo-realistic images. (Chief also has a set of rendering options outside of POV Ray that include pencil sketching, painting and watercolor effects.) Because kitchens and baths intrinsically use a lot of lights, ray tracing these spaces becomes very slow (hours instead of minutes). And because time is money, this aspect of Chief has not been cost effective for many in the K&B industry. Most frustrating for me has been running a ray trace overnight just to discover I ended up with a terrible rendering. 20-20 on the other hand is (and always has been) really 'glitchy.' This glitchiness usually shows up at the point you don't want it to the most–like when you are at the end of creating a model and are trying to add in all the fine details– then POOF. File all gone… start over from scratch =( So hair-pulling hour for hair-pulling hour, I'm not sure one is really faster than the other -or less frustrating if you use either 20-20 Design or Chief Architect as a stand-alone design solution. This I have never done as there are many programs out there to make the process more successful. With 20-20 I've found the layout function nearly useless and use a PDF writer to pull my drawings into a plan set. I also touch up drawings with Corel Paintshop Pro (poor-mans version of Photoshop).
At present, I'm leaning towards Chief because I've learned that you can now export drawings in .3DS and VRML formats to a different rendering engine (free program) called Kerkythea that does absolutely fabulous renderings and at a fraction of the time as POV Ray. To do this, you need to have an intermediary program to convert the files. Google Sketchup (free) modifies the .3DS files or Accutrans ($20) converts VRML into Kerkythea's XML. Chief renderers have been talking up Accutrans lately because with it one can use the lighting originally created in the Chief model, with Sketchup you have to redo the lighting. In both 20-20 and Chief you can easily import materials into your library. With Chief you can make (or have one of the Chief genius's make) symbols. And last, but certainly not least, ChiefTalk is fabulous -it has many wonderful veteran users and it also has the participation of the program's developers which is unique. Relatively speaking, the user forums (IMHO) for Kerkythea and 20-20 Design are wretched on a good day.
Having been a user of 20-20 and Chief, I know that I will have more options for details and freedom to be creative with Chief. There will be a learning curve no matter which software I choose. But then time is money too, right? How much time you have to devote to becoming proficient in a particular software may ultimately be the determining factor in the choices you make. Since business is a bit slow… I'm in learning mode.

Maria Wilcox, a mother of two, believes that students learn better when they get more personal attention from teachers. She shared that opinion with the Wilton Board of Finance at its meeting Tuesday night while she pleaded for it to give the Board of Education the budget it needs to not cut teacher positions.
"The teacher only has so much time in a day, and with fewer students they can spend more time with each one," Wilcox said after the meeting. She has expressed her concern to the board at previous public forums, and it has told her that residents can donate to the Board of Education to increase its budget. But in researching the school district's policy, she found that individuals cannot make donations for teacher salaries.
"Every class does not need a Smartboard, but every class needs a teacher," Wilcox said during the meeting.
Finance board member Andrew Pforzheimer said Wilcox and other parents may not be able to donate directly toward teacher salaries. But paying for other improvements would cut costs for the Board of Education, which would then have more funds for teacher salaries. Pforzheimer also suggested making donations to the town. He said that if enough people sent in donations, the board would have to re-examine the mill rate.
Wilcox retorted that forcing people to make donations seemed like a tax on the parents of school-age children. She also said public schools should benefit everyone equally and said Wilton schools would begin to favor those who made donations.
Pforzheimer told Wilcox that town donations usually remain anonymous. Wilcox disagreed and maintained that the best way to ensure a better education would be to give the Board of Education the budget it seeks.
What do you think of Wilton school's class sizes? What is the most important quality of a strong education? How do you feel about making donations to town budgets?

^gotta remind myself of this, my hard work and daily dedication has and will pay off.
I think in the matter of a blink, the weekend was gone!
|BFF graduated :)
Saturday I had a lesson with the gang :)
Tacked up, lunged Henry, got on and hacked around all before my trainer came down to the arena. I was pooped before the lesson even started ha!
We flatted around as a group and then she let Juliana and I jump.
Warmed up over the gate back and forth...
The first course was the gate off the right lead, around to the rainbow oxer, straight and roll back to the right over the domino oxer, left lead around to the 2 stride.
Second course was 2 stride (oxer to vertical), right turn to the dominos oxer, left turn to the rainbow, left roll back to the gate.
We did each course twice and then did the domino over and over to get straight- I felt straight but apparently wasn't lol!
I went out to hack, no one was around. As I was tacking up Clare showed up- woo hoo! And another girl with the eventing trainer showed up. Got Henry all dressed and lunged him. I was talking to the girl, she is home for the summer. I thought maybe she was a new boarder since I hadn't seen the horse that she was riding but it's a new one that the eventing trainer got- he's gray and cute :)
The horses were all up because the wind was crazy.
I worked on making Henry march around the WHOLE arena during my whole ride.
We went through our paces and then I did some no stirrup work, 3 laps each direction and then my legs were SHOT. Seriously I need to do more of it... I am promising to do some at least once a week, I have to!
Cooled out and chatted with Clare... untacked, hosed off, iced, took him back to his stall, grained, filled waters and went home.
|Henry begging Clare for more carrots
|BFF's eating their grain
Lesson tonight, turn out tomorrow, maybe lesson Thursday, trainer ride Friday and lesson Saturday.

So….the upcoming Interweave Knits has a whopping 3 patterns piquing my interest.
- Entrelac socks. Remember how I'm not a sock knitter and never learned entrelac? For this pattern, I would knit socks and learn entrelac. I *heart* knee-high socks, and the socks in the picture are really freakin' cute. Cute! Five skeins of yarn for two socks? Sign me up!
- Green tea raglan. I've seen a lot of ugly, offensive-looking sweater patterns out on the Internet today, folks. This raglan is neither ugly nor offensive. This is a possibility for a first sweater, I think.
- Slanted neck pullover. I also *heart* asymmetrical clothing items! I'm wearing one right now! Also a first sweater (or pullover) possibility. Just not in that blue (the color isn't ugly, just not for me).
Do I have to wait until February 20 for the new issue? That sucks.
Anyone else cringe upon viewing the knitted thong on the IK website? Seems like that would be a tad uncomfortable. But maybe it's not for wearing.

The Learning Channel (TLC) will be premiering a new show called "Extreme Couponing" on Wednesday 12/29 at 8pm ET (7pm here in the St Louis Area)!
I will admit, I use coupons on almost every purchase I possibly can. There have been times where I will not buy something that I might need if I know I have a coupon for it at home. Over the years of couponing I have become better organized and a better planner. I know I still have a lot to learn. but I feel the couponing I do (the level of couponing) is right for me and my budget.
I am interested in watching this show. There are a lot of people who don't understand couponers! There seems to be some negative thoughts and ignorance out there in the world about couponers! Here's what caught me a little off guard about this show when I was reading the description…
"Profiling 4 shopping addicts who go to extremes to find great deals"
I hope that TLC doesn't make couponers out to be shopping addicts, hoarders or a bunch of crazy people! I don't care if they do! I love couponing and the money I have saved and helped others to save!
So, what do you think? Will you be watching? It happens to fall on the 29th which is my husbands birthday. I will have to set my DVR so I don't miss it!!
