Washington was not a favourite
We encounter the saddest people on our entire journey
Winters Chilling Tales # 116
Days 255 to 258
Four miserable days in Washington
We got on a Greyhound bus from New York at 1230. Remember back in France we had to book our outgoing flight? Well, it was out of Miami to Cuba and so we just decided to travel down the East coast of America on our way to Miami.
The bus ride was fine. No problems or too much traffic. When we arrived we knew we had to catch a train and then a taxi to our hotel. We caught a train to central and then another one to New Carollton which was at the end of the line, North East of the city.
The first thing we noticed was the 1970's/80's railway carriages. We took off and then stopped on the line, an announcement said that each stop had a train on it and so we had to wait for the one ahead of us to move from the platform. We thought no problems. This happened for the next eight stops. It was absolutely painful. We moved then stopped and moved then stopped for the next hour. Finally we arrived and it was like turning up in far Western Sydney, just a normal outer suburb neighbourhood. Or so we thought.
We jumped in a huge black Cadillac taxi for the short 5 minute ride to the hotel. When we got there we were tired and starving. We had dinner at a restaurant attached to the hotel complex. The staff at the hotel told us not to go far at night time. Wow. We hadn't had a warning from hotel staff about our safety since Rome and before that Thailand.
We had booked into a cheap hotel with breakfast included and wifi so the girls could catch up on school work after our fun in New York. Over the next four nights, we enjoyed our huge room, great wifi and many movie channels.
What we didn't enjoy was the local area, staff at the hotel and the breakfast.
When we went to one of the many shopping centres to get food for lunches it was entirely in Spanish. The produce was from Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala and so on. The staff spoke English but mostly Spanish. We then walked around the shopping area which was a typical shopping block with a 7eleven, furniture store, hairdresser and newsagent. Across the six lane road was the same again but with a pizza place, a Wendys and the only liquor store in the immediate area.
Apart from the first restaurant the rest of the restaurants were pretty bad. We walked into one, a Mexican restaurant and the staff only wanted to speak Spanish to me. I get that a LOT.
Summer told them in her broken Spanish that I didn't speak Spanish, but they insisted on asking us what food we wanted in Spanish. So Summer began to order but they said they had no rice. They never once smiled or seemed interested in serving us at all. So we just put the menus down and walked out.
In all of our ventures into the local area, we hardly saw a smile. Customer service was the lowest quality we had seen in our entire trip. We started to get a laugh at how miserable everyone seemed. On our last night, we settled for pizza to go and had it in our room.
The breakfast at the hotel was disgusting. It consisted of two cereal options, bran flakes and rice bubbles, orange juice, coffee, scrambled eggs, hamburger patties, baked beans, potato cubes and pancakes. It tasted so bad that Summer settled for yoghurt bought from the shops and I only ate the bran flakes and some scrambled eggs. Everything was covered in fat or butter and tasted disgusting.
Also each time we headed back to our room we kept waiting for the cleaners to take our rubbish out but they never did.
The girls wanted to go to the movies for a treat and when we asked the hotel staff about a cinema close by, they told us about it and then said we should only go during the day and try not to be back after 6pm. We couldn't believe it. How dangerous was Washington?
So what we decided to do was a full day of sightseeing and then a movie.
We headed into the city and was not surprised to find all the people we encountered along the way not smiling or being friendly at all. So different from New York City.
We saw the main sights. Here's one you might know.
Then we decided to see a movie. We walked into the first cinema we saw and looked around at the movie titles. We didn't recognise the names but not surprisingly, the guy behind the counter did not ask us if we needed help. We finally asked what movies they were playing and he said only mature movies (not rude ones, just over 15), and that we would have to go to another cinema down the street to see family movies. We walked down the road and the streets started to get busier and we thought we must be heading into the centre.
There were heaps of people laying about drunk and calling out, but we just ignored them and headed for a cinema sign. As we entered the laneway that led to the cinema a guy walked up to me and shouted 'have you got any change', and I turned around and shouted 'NO'. He said, 'no problem enjoy your holiday, have a nice day'. He was tall and stunk of alcohol but was pretty polite after being rejected. We laughed so hard about that and still the girls ask me if I have any change just to hear me yell 'NO'.
The only thing showing that we all could watch was 'The Intern' with Robert DeNiro. We got our tickets and then decided to go all out and get popcorn, drinks and chocolate. We ordered some maltesers and the lady said 'what?.' We said malteeeeeserrrrrs, in an American accent, but she still didn't get us. Each four of us tried to say maltesers in different accents to help her understand, but she insisted that they didn't have any of them yet we could see the packet in the glass cabinet under the bench. We told her to look under the bench and she said she had never seen these chocolates before in her life and that they must be new.
We were now laughing so hard and we hadn't even gone into the move. The movie was hilarious and a nice friend film that we all enjoyed, even me who never goes to the movies.
After checking out, we took the shuttle from the hotel to the train station. Forgot to mention that the shuttle driver was a sad man who never smiled or said a word to us each time he dropped us at the train station and so as we got off, we each said 'thank you' one at a time and he had no choice but to say 'your welcome'. Still no bon voyage, like what you would get in France from nearly everyone you met.
It seemed that our exit from Washington was not going to be easy.
We went to the ticket counter for the train to the airport and the woman was a shocker. She said the price in a mumbled voice and then started talking to her work mate, but we didn't get it and asked her what she had said. She said, 'nothing I am not talking to you'. We said 'no, what was the price you told us' and she didn't even look at us but just raised her voice and said the price. The same drone, into her chest voice, just louder. We started to laugh because it was just so stupid.
We then got on the train and could not believe that it was packed and had two tiny squares to fit luggage into. This was the airport train with no luggage storage facility and we had four huge bags and a backpack each. And even if we wanted to use the two holes provided there were three ladies sitting next to them who were not going to move their legs to allow us access. Then we asked the conductor if we could put the bags somewhere but he just said 'no you cannot place them near the doors' and told us to find a spot. There were two seats up the stairs that the girls took and Summer and I spent the rest of the time moving the bags around to allow people to move on and off.
Then out of nowhere a guy sitting down must have been fed up with us and told us to go and find a seat and get out of the way. We wanted to start at him with both barrels but just started to laugh and said 'there is no room on the train'.
Finally, we got to the airport and when we got to the counter the man said we had to pay for our baggage as it was a cheap flight and baggage was not included. Summer said 'no problem, we just want to get out of Washington'. The guy's response was hilarious, he said 'I'm hearing ya, can I come to Miami? and smiled his head off. He was the best person we dealt with in our entire time in Washington.
We can categorically state that Washington was the saddest place we had ever been to.
The people are just so miserable. It was in stark contrast to New York City and we began to worry if the rest of America was like this.
Stay tuned for our next adventure in Miami.

Say yes to party food! Top 25 healthy eating tips to avoid weight gain without giving up traditional holiday food: Christmas cookies, dips, alcoholic drinks, and more.
Eating Light Tip #1: Start with Soup
1 of 25
All photos
According to a study in the journal Appetite, people who sipped soup before lunch ate 20 percent less during a meal than those who didn't. But stick with veggie soup recipes, says Ellie Krieger, R.D., host of the Food Network's Healthy Appetite. "Cream-based bisque or chowder often has 250 calories or more per cup."
Eating Light Tip #2: Say (Light!) Cheese
2 of 25
All photos
Soft goat cheese, feta cheese and part-skim mozzarella cheese have about 76 calories and 6 grams of fat or less per ounce—up to 26 percent less than the amount in cheddar and blue cheeses. Brie weighs in at 95 calories and 8 grams of fat.
Eating Light Tip #3: Nix the Nog
3 of 25
All photos
Made with eggs, heavy cream, and rum, nog weighs in at 343 calories and 19 grams of fat per cup. "Have hot chocolate instead for less than half the calories—plus antioxidants and calcium," says Krieger. Can't imagine the holidays without eggnog? Try a low-fat version, such as Silk Nog. Or satisfy your craving with this eggnog dessert recipe.
Eating Light Tip #4: Cut Down on Prep Time
4 of 25
All photos
"Roasting is one of the easiest—and healthiest—ways to prepare a side dish," says Cory Vicens, culinary director of allrecipes.com. "It brings out natural flavors, so you won't need butter, sugary glaze, or cream sauce." Toss any veggie in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then bake at 375°F for 20 to 40 minutes, or until tender. Or try these 8-minute veggie recipes.
Eating Light Tip #5: Sip Low Calorie Cocktails
5 of 25
All photos
Mixed drinks, like vodka tonics (175 calories), are higher in calories than wine
(120 calories), light beer (103 calories), and Champagne (91 calories). If you're craving a cocktail, opt for club soda in place of tonic water to save 80 calories. But wait until you're seated to start sipping. Alcoholic drinks stimulate your appetite," says Sharon Richter, R.D., a nutritionist in New York City.
Eating Light Tip #6: Spoil Your Appetite
6 of 25
All photos
The right healthy snacks before dinner take the edge off your hunger, says Richter. Steer clear of fried finger foods, like egg rolls (220 calories each). Low calorie apps: crudités (31 calories per cup), shrimp cocktail (31 calories for four shrimp and sauce), chicken satay (90 calories for one skewer and sauce), and mozzarella and veggie skewers (141 calories each).
Eating Light Tip #7: Bring Your Own Healthy Food
7 of 25
All photos
Don't know what your sister-in-law has on the menu? "Bring a dish so you're guaranteed to have at least one healthy option," says Krieger. One of her favorites: a green-and-red crudité plate. "I arrange sugar snap peas, blanched green beans, red pepper slices, and cherry tomatoes around a bowl of dip," she says. "It looks like a holiday flower!"
Eating Light Tip #8: Dial Down the Volume
8 of 25
All photos
When it's time to sit down to dinner, turn off the Christmas carols—or put on soft instrumental music. Researchers at Penn State University recently found that women who ate in a room with loud background noise consumed twice as many calories as those in a more peaceful environment.
Eating Light Tip #9: Choose Dips Wisely
9 of 25
All photos
Creamy dips like crab, artichoke, blue cheese, and French onion can pack 100 calories per scoop! Reach for hummus (25 calories per tablespoon) and salsa (4 calories per tablespoon) instead. Or make your own light version with this easy spinach dip recipe.
Eating Light Tip #10: Enjoy the Aroma of Food
10 of 25
All photos
A study from the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry suggests that smelling foods before you eat them can make you feel full. The scent can heighten the flavor, so you feel satisfied sooner, say experts. Plus, pausing between bites to take a whiff gives you time to gauge your hunger.
Eating Light Tip #11: Bring a Clutch
11 of 25
All photos
Hold it in one hand and a drink in the other. "When your hands are occupied," says Richter, "it's tough to reach for that mini quiche!" For more of the best diet tips to avoid holiday weight gain, check out these strategies from Bob Greene, trusted trainer to Oprah Winfrey.
Eating Light Tip #12: Do a Once-Over
12 of 25
All photos
Instead of blindly loading your plate with every finger food in sight, take a moment to scan the spread of party food so you know exactly what you have to choose from. Then help yourself to two or three things you truly love.
Eating Light Tip #13: Back Away from the Buffet
13 of 25
All photos
"An important party rule is don't linger by the food," says Brian Wansink, Ph.D., author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think. "If it's right in front of you, you'll be more tempted to pick at it—even if you're stuffed." Be prepared for your next holiday party with this guide to the best and worst foods from a buffet.
Eating Light Tip #14: Cook with Yogurt
14 of 25
All photos
Substitute nonfat plain yogurt for sour cream in recipes like mashed potatoes and you'll save a whopping 341 calories and 45 grams of fat per cup. Plus, you'll add a dose of calcium (this flavor-packed snack is another great source of calcium).
Eating Light Tip #15: Break from Traditional Foods
15 of 25
All photos
Instead of baking a holiday ham, consider roasting a pork tenderloin. One 3-ounce serving of the lean meat contains 122 calories and 3 grams of fat, compared with ham's 228 calories and 16 grams of fat. Serve it with fruit compote.
Eating Light Tip #16: Be a Smart Christmas Cookie
16 of 25
All photos
"Focus on one special dessert—something that you can get only this time of year—and savor it," suggests Forberg. Skip the cheesecake bars (219 calories, 16 g fat) and have a gingerbread man (79 calories, 3g fat), thumbprint cookie (102 calories, 6 g fat), or a piece of peppermint bark (75 calories, 3 g fat for 1 ounce).
Eating Light Tip #17: Use Your Bean
17 of 25
All photos
Cheese, creamy soups, and fried onions quickly turn green beans into a calorie bomb. Instead of the classic green bean casserole, Vicens suggests infusing the beans with flavor, not fat. "Sauté beans with olive oil, shallots, tarragon, and parsley," she says. "Garnish with sliced roasted almonds and dried cranberries for crunch and sweetness."
Eating Light Tip #18: Make Healthy Gravy
18 of 25
All photos
"Porcini and cremini mushrooms have a meaty flavor that's perfect in gravy," says Forberg. "They're also high in heart-healthy nutrients, like selenium and vitamin B12." Sauté mushrooms, garlic, and shallots in canola oil, then add a pinch of flour, salt and pepper, and lowfat chicken broth or turkey stock. Transfer all to a blender and pulse until creamy.
Eating Light Tip #19: Dress Lighter
19 of 25
All photos
"The secret to moist, delicious stuffing is using chicken broth in place of water," says Forberg. Boost the nutrient content with herbs (rosemary and sage), fruits (raisins or apples), vegetables (carrots, celery, or mushrooms), and whole grains (whole-wheat bread or wild rice). Then bake it in a separate dish. When you bake stuffing inside the bird, it absorbs the drippings—and extra fat and calories.
Eating Light Tip #20: Can the Canned Cranberries
20 of 25
All photos
Pre-made cranberry sauce is convenient, but a quarter cup has almost as much sugar (21 grams) as a cup of soda. Homemade relish is much healthier. Simmer 2 cups fresh cranberries with 1∕2 cup each honey and water or orange juice until thick (about 20 min). Add in grated orange zest for more flavor. Cover and chill until set (30 to 60 min).
Eating Light Tip #21: Choose the Right Cut
21 of 25
All photos
At 115 calories per 3-ounce serving, skinless turkey breast has 45 fewer calories than dark meat. Go ahead and help yourself to dark or light meat, but leave behind the skin to save 40 calories and 5 grams of fat. In case turkey's not on your dinner menu, cut calories from any meal with these 15 best protein bets.
Eating Light Tip #22: Finish with Fruit
22 of 25
All photos
To end your meal on a sweet note, help yourself to fruit. "I make a tropical salad with pineapple, papaya, mango, and shredded coconut," says Krieger. "Not only is it lighter than other desserts, but it also feels unique." For a more indulgent splurge, have a chocolate-dipped strawberry (48 calories, 2g fat). Or make one of these guilt-free chocolate desserts.
Eating Light Tip #23: Pick the Right Slice
23 of 25
All photos
Opt for pumpkin (316 calories, 14g fat), sweet potato (310 calories, 10g fat), or lemon meringue pie (362 calories, 16g fat) in place of apple (411 calories, 19g fat) or pecan (503 calories, 27g fat). A good portion: For a 9-inch pie, the thickest part of the wedge should be no more than 3 1∕2 inches (length of a business card).
Eating Light Tip #24: Pare Down Holiday Pie Recipes
24 of 25
All photos
That buttery crust contains at least 2 tablespoons of butter per slice. Leave behind the bottom part to slash 125 calories and 7 grams of fat—or just eat the lattice. Or "consider creating a crustless dessert altogether, like a pumpkin flan or pudding," says Miller.
Eating Light Tip #25: Make Low Fat Desserts
25 of 25
All photos
Does that mint-fudge brownie recipe call for a can of evaporated milk? Pick up the fat-free kind to shave off 180 calories and 24 grams of fat. "You can't even tell the difference in baked goods," says Robin Miller, author of Robin Rescues Dinner. See more tricks to slash up to 500 calories without even noticing.

Architecture explains the rationale behind the choices. It's important to understand the reasoning as well as the implications of the decisions made in the architecture because their impact on the project is large. Also, it can be beneficial to understand what alternatives were weighed and abandoned. This may be important for future reference, if and when things need to be reconsidered, and for anyone new to the project who needs to understand the situation.

The Three Signs of Transformation
It is a season of Jubilee; internationally, nationally and for me personally. God is allowing us to celebrate a season of jubilee. Nevertheless, what is so special about a jubilee? Leviticus explains the events of a jubilee as release, restoration and renewal. These events can be summed up as TRANSFORMATION. However, my concern is that you enjoy the benefits of the season and not just watch it go by. I would like you to consider, how you can lead transformation where you are. Unless you and I engage in renewal and transformation around the season shall pass and who knows what the next season will be. Most people (those who live to beyond 50) only enjoy ONE Jubilee. It is your and my duty to ensure that people take full advantage of the year of Gods favor upon our land. There are three SIGNS of transformation you need to enjoy in this limited season.
First, we must be transformed. Unless we change, we will miss the blessings and benefit of this season. Something transformational has to happen to us like attending the next SALT class or being baptized. We all know things have to change, but are afraid to change like Nicodemus because of who we are, what we know and what we have achieved.
Nicodemus had reached the top of his career and was very successful. Yet he could see that a new season was sweeping the land. It was setting captives free, it was a season of release and Jubilee and he wanted to be part of it. He could see that the sick were being healed, miracles were happening and nobody could deny it. It was obvious. So, he went to see Jesus, at night.
In that brief chat, Jesus tells Nicodemus "You must be born again" THREE times! It is as simple and as complete as that. Do you want to enjoy the fruits of transformation then you must be transformed – you must be born again! The season of transformation is declared for all men, but it will pass you by unless you are transformed. Nicodemus needed renewal, you need renewal. Paul tells us we all need renewing of the mind. If we are not transformed, we will continue with our old success.
My great concern is that many people will not create wealth in this season and yet God has declared the release of wealth. Jacob never realized that God wanted him to get rich until he came to his senses after 14 years of marriage. I know married life has its challenges, but did you know that wealth can transform your life? And that wealth is necessary to establish a nation? Jacobs's story is found in Gen 29&30.
Jacob went to work for Laban and took wives as payment. Before you call him foolish, think of your own situation. Is your job making you wealthy or are you simply enjoying the benefits? When Jacob came to his senses, he realized that he was making wealth for Laban. This angered him, but wait a minute, where had his focus been for 14 years. His focus had been on Rachel's passing beauty. When he eventually turned back to God, God opened his eyes to the fact that God had provided an opportunity for him to create his own wealth. What opportunity has God provided for you to create wealth? Are you creating personal wealth?
Jesus only did what his father was doing (miracles). He was imitating his father. His father was working through him. He used his gifts and talents to serve Gods interests - WHERE HE WAS. That was it!. In other words, I am not asking you to do anything extra ordinary, I am asking you to let God work through you and everything you touch will be transformed.
What am I saying here. Jesus seems to be saying DO WHAT YOU WERE SENT TO DO! If it is teaching teach, if it is doctoring, doctor, if it is pastoring pastor. That is enough to bring transformation where you are. The miracle is that God uses your gifts and skills to transform the WORLD. The MIRACLE is that GOD actually wants to use you to heal the sick and raise the dead! The miracle is not that people are healed or that the dead are raised, that can actually happen without you. The miracle is that God choses to work through you! You are the Miracle of TRANSFORMATION. You are the AGENCY GOD IS USING to change the world around you. All you have to do is submit to HIM. If you submit to Him, HE WILL not only TRANSFORM YOU, but also TRANSFORM THE WORLD around you. Pray this prayer to begin your journey.
LORD, Thank you for this season of Jubilee. Please do not let me miss the blessing of this season. Transform me into the likeness of your son. Release me from the bonds of my past and restore the wealth that I have lost. Forgive me for depending on material things and not on you. Transform me by the renewing of my mind that I may know what you want me to do. Give me the humility to use the gifts you have given me to serve your people. Please come and work your miracles through me. In Jesus name, Amen.
God Bless you
Allan Bukusi

How long are the polls open? Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. All those waiting in line at 8 p.m. will be permitted to vote.
My absentee ballot hasn't arrived. What should I do? Go to http://www.shapethefuture.org/ to track your absentee ballot. If one has not arrived, you can call the Elections Office at (650) 312-5222 to request that a duplicate be sent. You may also request and vote a ballot at the Elections Office, anytime from now through 8 p.m. on Election Day. Or you can vote in person at your usual polling place, which you can find on the Shape the Future Web site.
I'm not sure my absentee ballot was recorded. How can I make sure?* If there is any question about whether the county has a record of your vote, you can request a Provisional Ballot at your usual polling place. It will be counted once election officials determine that your absentee ballot was not turned in.
What's the latest date I should mail my absentee ballot? Your ballot must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted. Postmarks do not count. For that reason, it's best to mail your ballot well in advance of Election Day. If you're not sure it will get there in time, you can take it to your usual polling place on Election Day or to the Elections Office at 40 Tower Road in San Mateo on or before Election Day.
I usually vote at the polls but must be out of town. Can I still vote? Yes. You can vote anytime within 29 days prior to an election by going to the Elections Office at 40 Tower Road in San Mateo between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, whether or not you have an absentee ballot.
I have an absentee ballot, but I'm going to be away (or am ill or disabled) on Election Day. What should I do? Absentee ballots include instructions on how to designate an "authorized agent" to return your absentee ballot for you. Or you can drive to the Elections Office at 40 Tower Road in San Mateo and turn it in on or before Election Day. There are also absentee ballot drop boxes in each City Hall in San Mateo County.
I made an error while marking my absentee ballot. What should I do? If there's still time to get another absentee ballot mailed, mark an "X" in the box on the upper left-hand side on the flap of the return envelope and return it to the Elections Office. Otherwise, take it in person to 40 Tower Road in San Mateo and request another ballot.
How can I find out more about how and where to vote? Go to San Mateo County's official voter info site, http://www.shapethefuture.org/, or the League of Women's Voters site, http://www.smartvoter.org/.
Directions to 40 Tower Road in San Mateo: Take Highway 101 south to Highway 92 and go west on Highway 92. Take the Ralston Avenue exit toward Belmont. Turn right onto Ralston Avenue, which become Polhemus Road. Turn left onto Tower Road. The Elections Office is up a steep driveway on the left side. Information verified with San Mateo County Elections Office on October 24, 2005

When did you start blogging?
I started blogging about 2 years ago. Let me explain this: I had a Tumblr account about two years ago, but I officially started my own blog on the 4th of January 2015. So I have been officially a blogger for a year and 3 months… 🙂
Have you had any other online presence before?
Well, apart from the usual Facebook and Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr there was no other definitive online presence.
What was your first post?
My first post was called "New Year, New Hopes, Dreams… :)". You can find it here. I read it and I cringe a little, lol. It's strange to read what I said over a year ago!
When did you become serious about your blog?
I think when I started, my blog posts were very sporadic. I would blog twice, maybe three times a month and I wasn't so completely "into" it. However, when I switched domains from Blogger to WordPress and having my own domain (which was a few months ago, I decided to consciously take blogging more seriously, as I really did enjoy doing it. 🙂
Biggest challenge about blogging?
Goodness there's just so many things! initially it was feeling like I would be the only one who reads and writes my blog posts. I felt like as much as I wanted this platform to do it for myself, share my thoughts and ideas, it would be nice to at least get one "view" or follower. It drops your confidence in your blog. Also time was a challenge as I had work, and hadn't really known how to manage my blog, with my schedule… That took a lot more time, but EVENTUALLY I got it right!
Where do you see your blog in one year?
Truthfully, I would love to reach a larger viewer base. I love how my blog has grown, especially in the last 2 months..! However I want my blog to be the place where any one can come and have a chat with me, as I give them an insight into some of the things that I love. I would love it to get a lot bigger than it is now, while keeping with the conversationalist "talking to a friend" relaxed tone that my followers and blogger friends are already used to! Also hope to develop a lot more friends in the blogging world. 🙂
What is the most rewarding thing to you about blogging?
I love the calmness that blogging brings. I love sharing with other people the things I love in the beauty and lifestyle world. Every time I feel a tad stressed out, I blog. It relaxes me- except when I know that I have to release a blog post soon and I haven't a CLUE what to blog about!!! LOL! Communicating with people of similar interests, or having people respond or message me by telling me how they love to read my blog, or how some message on my blog has helped them a particular way, then THAT really inspires me to keep going 🙂
What is the most discouraging thing?
Up until now, nothing really. I blog because I LOVE it. I know certain people will judge me for it, or probably get frustrated with the amount of times in a week I have a blog post up (which is often 4-5 times a week!lol ), but truthfully it doesn't bother me. Anyone can easily unfollow, or say what they want to say, but I know what a good thing it is for me mentally, and how much blog followers love reading my posts. I do it for myself and them. 🙂
Lasting inspiration and motivation?
One of the biggest things that motivates me when it comes to blogging, is other bloggers in the same niche, but over and above that, in South Africa, I haven't picked up a lot of Black Female Bloggers that do this (Beauty and Lifestyle). There is a small niche, but not that many, and a big part of me feels like I am part of a much bigger picture that will one day be something huge in terms of black female SA bloggers! (I'm hopeful! ). I draw inspiration from people and things around me. I will be going through something difficult emotionally, and then I feel I want to write a blog post about it. Or an event that I attend, and feel I want to write about it. Anything really.
That's it for all the questions! I hope you enjoyed this tag!
Until the next one
Live in Light and Love ❤

Pet Owner in Richmond
I am looking for a sitter to watch my 3 yr old yellow lab at their house during the day when I have to work past daycare hours or while I am on vacation.

She is also fully house trained and good on a leash (if you'd ever want to take her for a walk). Thanks!!!

YORKTOWN, N.Y. -- Yorktown's cheerleading squad recently made history.
The cheerleaders recently went to Orlando where it competed in the National High School Cheerleading Championship against teams from across the country at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex.
Yorktown's team scored high enough in the preliminary round to advance to the semifinals for the first time in the team's history.
"I am so incredibly proud of my team and their accomplishments," coach Angela Battista said. "This year's team has been so motivated and their hard work at each practice truly paid off. They advanced to compete against other nationally ranked teams, and gave one of the best performances of the season."
Junior captain Lindsay Baker was pleased with how her team accomplished its goals of going to nationals.
"We performed better than we ever have," Baker said. "Performing that well of a routine at ESPN and making it to the semifinals was an unforgettable experience."

New Year is a time for reflection on the year gone past and all about setting new resolutions and goals.
This may be a desire to get fitter, take up a new hobby or even do less, but whatever the aim it is a good time where we can plan and re-evaluate priorities.
In both our professional and personal lives we all face many challenges, and sometimes obstacles, to what we want to achieve. At the Foundation's pre-Christmas team meeting, each team member had to identify challenges that we were facing at work and how we could provide support to each other to conquer these challenges.
The nature of the work that we do means that in many cases there are no clear cut solutions and certainly no easy fixes. We are a small team with big ideas but careful planning is required so that we can focus on priorities and establish where, with our limited resources, we can help influence change and maximise opportunities for children to achieve their personal best.
It is challenging and many times it will involve going back to the drawing board, analysing what has or has not worked, and perhaps changing direction. But is it worth it? Absolutely! I still find it refreshing to work in an environment where failure is not a bad thing and struggle can be seen as positive.
Now, if I can just apply that thinking to stop me raiding the biscuit tin or my kids' selection boxes I will be pretty happy!
Good luck with your resolutions and all the best for the year ahead.

There is no doubt that one of the most difficult areas of valuation is quantifying and justifying a lack of marketability adjustment. While it is undisputable that some downward adjustment is justified to account for a lack of ability to convert an investment into cash, the magnitude of that adjustment is often a contentious subject. Valuation professionals are being challenged to refine their conclusions. Practitioners and users of valuation reports should be familiar with the latest

Sorry Dan I am not paying too much attention to details (as in getting your name wrong) its okay you can call me Tim or Kim if you like ;-} ----------------------------------------------------- The tests using VP3 were carried out with the default settings and the quick compress turned off. I dont have a problem with high motion I film firedancers and stream the footage over a lan in a night club. It looks on the big TV screens to be of similar quality to Good Mpeg1 Dont know much, but I know what I like and I love this little codec. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those doing the grunt work of rewriting this codec and extending its feature set I will continue to sing your praises and test each release. For myself I havent cut code since 1982 when it was all basic and cobol. Wish I could do more but the curve has gotten too great and so now I teach people the fascination of the light switch (as in on/off, or 0/1) the basis of all computing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Miller" <dan at on2.com> To: <theora at xiph.org> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 2:32 AM Subject: RE: [theora] Theora vs. Nullsoft NSV
if your encode speed was that fast, you probably had "quick compress" turned on, which will reduce motion estimation. This may explain your poor results on high-motion material.
-----Original Message----- From: Jim Barnes [mailto:tojimbarnes at hotmail.com] Sent: Wed 11/13/2002 7:19 AM To: theora at xiph.org Cc: Subject: Re: [theora] Theora vs. Nullsoft NSV Thanks Ian I did mean to mention this but got caught up in rationalising For those that read my comments as to the quality I obtained from the various codec comparisons. One thing I forgot to mention was the speed. This little codec is quite fast when used out of either Premiere, Ulead MSP or even FlaskMpeg It generally (as in on average) will encode at about half real time. Thats 12.5 fps for those on PAL. This is dependent on the settings but I have never had it run slower than 8 fps. This is on a frame size of QCIF or 352 x 288. DV will encode at about 5 fps full PAL 720 x 576 and this is on my PIII 1 Ghz with 512 PC133 Ram. This is encoding either AVI or QT. However if you use QT to code I find it can slow right down or at least it seems to take longer. (Not that I sit and watch the little blue squares) On the NLE's it shows me the frame rate. So compared to the other codecs I put this at about 8 on a scale of one to ten. Nothing beats smart rendering on Ulead MSP or Premiere when it doesnt have to re-encode. Of course thats unfair as it not really encoding anything just copying bits of the already encoded file As far as decode speed goes all I can say is that it plays back at 25fps with no dropouts in either video or audio and starts fast in WMP and a bit longer in QT (2-3 seconds) I dont want to get into product bashing I am only reporting the results as I percieve them my advice to anyone wanting to know is try it for yourself and see. You will be surprised.
----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Miller" <dan at on2.com> To: <theora at xiph.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 1:55 AM Subject: RE: [theora] Theora vs. Nullsoft NSV

> * One thing not mentioned by those who tested the codecs is encode and decode speed. This is a primary factor in designing a codec. It's relatively easy to develop a new codec that beats existing products at bitrate/quality if you don't care at all about performance. The challenge is to create a codec that is superior at quality/bitrate, but is also low enough in complexity to work well on typical platforms of the day. My feeling is that VP3 is pretty good in this area too, but could be improved. Our hope is to increase quality/bitrate of Theora without substantially adding to the CPU requirements.

I have a particular attachment to the original Westworld movie, directed by Michael Crichton, as it was the first PG-rated film I ever saw as an impressionable 8-year-old, so I'm anxiously awaiting the prestige series HBO reboot this fall. A wrinkled Westworld one-sheet adorned the walls of my bedroom, thumbtacked directly behind the headboard of our maplewood bunk beds, with Yul Brynner's deranged cyborg gunslinger featured front and center with the tagline ... "Where nothing can possibly go worng!"
This rip-roaring adaptation centered around an upscale frontier resort populated by AI robots is executive-produced by J.J. Abrams, Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, with a musical score by Game of Thrones' Ramin Djawadi It busts out of the futuristic corral on Sunday, Oct. 2, for a 10-episode season and stars Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Jeffrey Wright and Thandie Newton.
Westworld's fresh two-minute trailer unleashes a stampede of new footage showing pistol-packin' cowboys, Indians on the warpath, Gatling guns and android incubation pools. It also sets up the unsettling showdown between a humanoid, played by Wood, and the theme park's eccentric creator, portrayed by Academy Award winner Hopkins. While the 1973 film was told from the perspective of the city-slicker park guests, this darker take delves into the philosophical and ethical ramifications of creating artificial beings for human amusement.
Here's the official synopsis:
The one-hour drama series Westworld is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, it explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.
Rope in this rowdy new trailer and tell us if you'll ride shotgun with HBO's weird wild west show come October.

(Reuters) - A patient was being evaluated in isolation at a Colorado hospital for Ebola on Thursday after experiencing symptoms of the disease, health officials said.
The patient, who was not identified and was considered low-risk, had recently traveled to an Ebola-affected country and was transported on Wednesday evening to the Medical Center of the Rockies after falling ill, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said in a statement.

Exec Spotlight: Jada Culver
PRSSA Position: Fundraiser Committee Leader
Year: Junior
Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia
If you won the lottery and never had to work again, how would you spend your time?
I love to shop and travel. So if I could do those two things for the rest of my life, I'd be perfectly happy. I'd want plenty of good company by my side, so I'd definitely spoil my friends and family and make the most of every memory we could create together.
If you could start any new club or organization on campus, what would it be and why?
I think it would be cool to start a UA music festival organization. It would be fun every year to work toward hosting an on-campus music festival, showcasing local Tuscaloosa or student singers and bands. Maybe even have a couple teaser shows leading up to the festival. Of course, there would also need to be some awesome food trucks and other activities in attendance to the festival. I just love music and to dance, so as much of that action as possible! I also think a lot of the students at UA would really enjoy the event and a chance to show their talent.
What on-campus (including the strip) cuisine is your absolute favorite?
I crave Buffalo Phil's Fingers of Fire and their curly fries on the regular. They're ridiculously good. But in the fall a Rock-N-Roll sushi restaurant is opening up, which could easily take the top spot.
Who is your spirit animal?
My spirit animal goes back and forth between Beyoncé and Christina Yang.
What has been your best learning experience in college, either in or out of the classroom?
My greatest learning experience in college so far has been my JN 311 class. In this class, I was not only taught how to write a compelling story, but I also had the chance to participate in writing a profile story with the Selma Times Journal. It was for a special publication celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. It was an awesome experience where I worked in collaboration with other writers and an editor to create a celebratory publication remembering Bloody Sunday.
What inspired you to choose PR as your major?
I'm a little embarrassed to admit this but my curiosity in PR first began after I watched an episode of "Sex and the City" and Samantha Jones said she was in PR. I wasn't exactly sure of what PR was at the moment but it always stuck with me. I soon did some research and found that many aspects of the PR field really resonated with me as a career I wanted to go into. Fast forward two years later and now I couldn't have chosen a better major!
What would be your dream job after graduation?
I daydream way too often to really focus on one exact "dream job," but I really love fashion, and my minor is Italian, so working in PR for an Italian fashion company in-house would be pretty incredible, maybe even Dolce & Gabbana or Max Mara. One thing I know for sure is that I must work in the city. I have high hopes that I'll move to New York, Atlanta or maybe even London to work in either entertainment or fashion. I definitely want to live abroad if possible for part of my career.

It's inspiring to see young leaders making a difference in society. I can see Jada Culver in my early days. When I was young, I had big dreams. I want to become an astronaut, a doctor, anything under the sun. These fueled me to go further. Now, I can say that I am where I want to be. Working in Sydney as an Executive Director at a known 5-star hotel and restaurant is the dream I've always wanted.

This month, Ido Portal is doing a hanging challenge (original blog post, facebook group). That means thousands of people all around the world will be hanging and brachiating for 7 minutes every day this month.
Our shoulders are designed for climbing, hanging, and brachiation. We need it for shoulder health. But down the kinetic chain, our hands can give us trouble when we're first starting to do a lot of climbing, hanging, or brachiation. Your hands will have some adapting to do, and I don't encourage using gloves or tape 100% of the time. In fact, if you're not in danger of tearing a callus, getting a blood blister, or otherwise doing some damage to your hand, I suggest you don't use tape, gloves, or anything else.
Practically, this means starting off your session without any hand protection, but it may mean you add it later. Don't rob your hands of the stimuli they need to adapt. And don't give them so much stimulus that they tear or otherwise suffer damage.
Anyway, here's the practical things I do to prevent destroying my hands in my movement and training.
Tip #1: Avoid hamburger palm – this is paramount.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you're not in competition or about to break a PR or something, STOP if your hands are about to tear. This is PRACTICE, not some high stakes competition. Live to move another day.
Tip #2: Pre-Movement Callus Management
Calluses are necessary and important, but if they get too big, rough, or uneven they have a much higher chance of tearing.
Use a callus razor, sandpaper (160-200 grit – available at your local hardware store), or pumice stone to get your callus smooth and down to size. I usually groom my calluses in the shower. That way, the skin is soft and easier to manage.
Tip #3: Mid-Movement Techniques
A. Do not overgrip the bar (or branch, or rope, or ledge).
By overgripping, I mean grasping the bar with more effort than is needed to keep you from falling off AND gripping the bar too deep in the palm.
Notice in this photo how the gibbon grips (king of all brachiators…can reach speeds of 35 MPH [~55 KPH] swinging through the trees).
The rope is seated in the gibbons fingertips, not deep into the palm. Here's another (entertaining) example of how a gibbon grips:
The lesson: Grip as much as needed, but as little as possible. This will help prevent tears, and make you more efficient in the hang. Overgripping is a huge problem with beginning climbers and leads to rapid muscular fatigue and more frequent tearing.
I'm a practical guy and the truth is that "overgripping" may not be a problem for you. It may even be needed in certain circumstances. I use it sometimes, but just know the difference, and realize that with added volume and intensity you are much more likely to rip your skin if you overgrip.
Said another way: Use a PULLING grip, not a pushing grip. Mark Rippetoe also explains this well as it relates to deadlifting, but the same principles apply to hanging and brachiating.
B. Use hand protection preemptively.
Athletic tape (available at local sporting goods store) and gardening gloves (available at your local supermarket, garden, or hardware store) are two practical and economic solutions.
The best human climbers and brachiators will use hand protection before irreversible skin damage occurs. If it's too late for that, tape over the damaged/torn skin.
If you want a more detailed explanation of how to make tape grips click here
If you want to spend a bit more, you can buy a pair of WODies – hand grips made specifically for crossfitters. Again, your hands need to adapt, so I suggest you only use tape, grips, and gloves if you realistically anticipate a tear.
C. Use a variety of different objects and textures for hanging/brachiation
The more variety you have, the less likelihood of a rip. A single width of bar always puts the stress in the exact same place, but if you use skinny bars, fat bars, ultra-fat bars, branches, ropes, and everything in between, the skin of your hands will have a lower chance of ripping. I like to brachiate on playgrounds because you can often find many different grip textures and widths.
Tip #4: Post-Movement Techniques:
Once you're done with your climbing, hanging, or brachiation it's time to wash the chalk off, re-groom the skin and calluses, and keep your hands moisturized so they'll heal faster. Dry hands lend themselves to cracks and tears.
Coconut oil, olive oil, or shea butter are all great choices. Any good quality lotion with minimal ingredients will work. I like climbOn.

Dave "Hendu" Henderson was a former major league baseball player. Dave started his career as the first player drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 1977. In 1986, Henderson hit a ninth-inning, two-out, two-strike epic homer that lifted the Red Sox to a Game 5 victory over the Angels in the American League Championship Series. The Red Sox won games 6 & 7 to advance to the World Series. During his 14 seasons in the major leagues, he also played for the Oakland A's. He was on their last championship team in 1989 and was with the team for two other World Series appearances. Dave's autographs were always signed "Hendu, still having fun."
Off the field, he carried on his life in leadership roles helping kids by co-founding Rick's Toys for Kids. He was also actively involved in sponsoring events and fundraisers to find a cure for Angelman's syndrome, the disease his son has bravely lived with since birth.
