All of a Sudden
Posted by singularknitter in Daily Life, Festival Fun, Knitting Goals, Seasonal Crafting on October 10, 2016
Here we are. It's fall again after a whirlwind of a summer. Though it was an amazing summer, it was full of M (for the first time) having summer activities that our lives revolved around and me straddling two positions at work, just trying to stay afloat. But now, school is in full swing and we're starting to get back to a normal rhythm in our lives.
It's no secret that fall is probably my favorite season. Between finally breaking out the hand knits to apple picking and Halloween festivities – there's really nothing that beats it! Except maybe winter, with my love of layering and snow…
Regardless, M and I have already started our apple adventures and by picking four pecks of delicious, early-season apples. We even made our first batch of apple sauce a few weeks ago. Now we're in prep-mode for M's birthday and Halloween. But first: New York Sheep and Wool Festival (aka – the beloved Rhinebeck).
I am glad to say that, though I didn't manage to knit a new sweater for Rhinebeck this year, I have completed an epically large shawl and a poncho and I'm almost all packed and ready to go! This is the first year that I'll be heading up to Rhinebeck without M, staying in a house with friends and attending the festival both Saturday and Sunday. So it was crucial (really just to me) that I had two major new pieces to wear.
First, I spent most of the summer, including hot Saturday mornings at swim meets, knitting up the Sixpence Shawl by Kristen Rengren. I couldn't be happier with this epically large piece! There are different sizes in the pattern, and I definitely could have stopped sooner, but I basically wanted a blanket to curl up in. I knit it up in my handspun from Gourmet Stash Tribbles (combining colorways Shrewd Slytherin and Screenager) with a "boarder" (because that's probably the largest boarder I've ever knit…) out of Knit Picks Capretta in the Hunter colorway. That's right – this shawl is a Merino, Nylon, Cashmere and more blanket of heavenly cloud warmth. I even enjoyed how light-weight, yet warm it was to the extent that I wore it multiple times at work – before weaving in the ends and blocking it. It was the perfect layering piece over summer outfits in my freezing office – how could I resist?!
Once the shawl was done, and I finished the knitting aspect of my mother's long-overdue sweater, I knew I needed to crank out another substantial piece before Rhinebeck. Otherwise, I mean really – how could I show my face at the festival for day two? 😉
The problem was, what could I possible knit quickly enough that would make me feel super comfortable and confident? Of course – the Rodeo Drive Poncho by Stacy Perry! Even better – I had the perfect yarn already in stash from Aylin's Woolgatherer's massive store-closing sale this past summer: Filatura Di Crosa Zara in the beautiful 1962 colorway. I love creative yarn companies and their love of yarn names 😉
Now that all the knitting is done, both pieces have been blocked and most of my packing is done – I'm on to the next crazy struggle – what projects do I bring to work on while at Rhinebeck!? Do I bring my spinning wheel?! Is that completely insane?! Then of course there's making the "What to Purchase and Not Purchase" at the festival. Yes – this year, I am telling myself there are actually things I have too much of (ex: Jacob fleeces, and really all fiber) and giving myself a real shopping list of the yarns I need to knit projects on my To Knit List for 2017. More information on that list to come! 🙂
Tell me – what are your favorites about/for fall? Knitting/crafting musts? Items you knew you needed to have done by fall so you could enjoy them? Favorite beverages? Foods? Whatever it is – let me know – I should probably add it to my fall must-have list as well!
Falling in Progress
Posted by singularknitter in Daily Life, Festival Fun, Knitting Goals on September 23, 2014
Apples are currently in the crock pot, the smell of cinnamon is wafting through the air. I have a new project on the needles and there is a crispness to the air. It is the perfect first day of Fall. Of course, the change in seasons brings some unpleasant things as well… such as seasonal allergies and the cold which our house has already been overtaken with. But I refuse to let that bring me down. This is my favorite time of year and I won't let anything get in my way. We have apple picking and American Football. Then there's pumpkin patches and fall vegetables. To top it all off: we're attending the Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival this weekend to kick off the start of sheep & wool festival season. There is just too much to look forward to!
With that said, Fall also brings the want… no, the NEED to cast on nearly everything in sight. All I long to do is sit in a big pile of all of my yarn and decide what to do with it all. And then do it. I cast on a cowl last night out of some handspun that would have been a crime to have stored away another Fall and Winter. I plan to cast on another cardigan in the next few days for my mom (that's right, I said ANOTHER). I've already planned enough knitting and spinning to last me all the way through to next Spring and I just can't stop. The only trouble is, I would need to seriously tap into my mythical free time to actually get it all done. Clearly, the cinnamon fumes are getting to me.
Coming back to reality, I realize that I need to first finish a lot of projects. Sure, the knitting is complete. But I have a sweater for M, a cardigan for me (more to come in another post), two cowls and two wraps that need ends woven in, to be blocked and buttons sewn on so they can all be worn and enjoyed this Fall. To accomplish this, I have at least gathered them all into a bag and placed it next to my favorite chair in the living room. I've even conveniently left a sewing needle next to said chair to facilitate weaving in all the ends. Plus, I'm convinced I will block at least one piece each night for the next week. Because, really, who knows how many knit pieces I will want to wear this weekend!
It's time to go stir the apples and breathe in some more energizing Fall fumes. Tell me, what are your lofty Autumn plans and goals?
Summer Crafting, Preschool Style
Posted by singularknitter in Crafting w/ M, Daily Life, Seasonal Crafting on August 12, 2014
I have an amazing sister. I know, this is not a blog where I brag about my family too often. But no joke, she's awesome. When it comes to being the fun aunt, she's even better. Our vacation this summer mainly involved staying at my sister's place where we went on loads of fun adventures to the beach and Coney Island and more. Back to my sister, though. She anticipated nearly all of my daughter's wants and needs… before M even knew she had them. She even had her willingly eating multiple helpings of salad… my daughter likes her veggies, but baby spinach? This was new for us…
I brought some toys my daughter hadn't played with in a while hoping to fill some of the odd hours where we didn't have something planned and we needed her to be able to play quietly so the adults could rest from all the traveling and excitement. But it was my sister who brought some real child-entertaining game.
We arrived to find a well-thought-out list of activities she had planned to keep M busy. There was dress-up, slinky racing (which M and my brother-in-law took off running with), and more drawing than I thought could be humanly possible, especially that done by the adults at the direction of my daughter.
However, the most impressive activity my sister came up with and the one that seems to keep on giving is the one involving thin cut-out wooden bears. Think paper dolls, but made from wood liken to a tongue depressor. My daughter helped direct how she wanted the faces drawn on… I snuck off for a nap… and when I awoke – all three bears had paper outfits cut out of fancy card stock. I don't just mean dresses.. There are shoes, a hat and a purse.
Plus, these outfits aren't glued on. There is the potential for more outfits to be created. That's because my sister thought to also get that weird blue wall putty stuff that you can hang pictures on your walls without messing up the paint. The stuff that will now always be referred to as the amazing putty that allows my child to make her own bear dolls' clothing that will stay on when we want it to but be so easily changed to a new outfit on a whim. No silly fold-over paper tabs where the clothing inevitably falls off in less than five seconds like normal paper dolls.
Since we've been home, I've been incredibly inspired to come up with more fun crafting/play time for my daughter and me. Last summer we had dabbled in some art journaling. This summer, M is going at it full force. We pulled out the paints, stencils, glitter glue, crafting tape and craft paper and she has been adding to her pages pretty consistently.
We also pulled out some other projects I had planned on us completing together…. years ago. We finally painted and decorated the wooden letters for her name and hung them on the wall of her room by stringing them on decorative ribbon (less nail holes).
I've also been struggling to find ways to better display all of the artwork she creates both at school and at home, so we hung a couple more lines of ribbon in her room and are hanging each piece with clothes pins. Now she has her own little art exhibit that she gets to curate.
For our next project, we will be revisiting the bears by making them homes. Shoe box homes. I told her we could paint them to look like rooms and paint furniture and rugs and such. She turns to me and says "and we can cut out a door and make windows too!". I hear we will also be gluing the shoe boxes together to make a little bear mansion…. It will likely take up the rest of our summer!
Getting Back on Track
Posted by singularknitter in Daily Life on August 11, 2014
Summer seems to have spiraled out of control this year. Many plans and goals came and went unfulfilled. Many posts were planned and never written. This week, I hope to change some of that. After unexpectedly being laid up on the couch recovering from a (minor-ish) surgery, I think now is the time to catch up on everything and fill in all the blanks.
Some things to look forward to this week:
– Stash Dash and Tour de Fleece Wrap-up
– Summer Crafting with M
– Crafting on the Go
– Getting Reacquainted with the Wheel
– Looking ahead to Fall
Look forward to a busier-than-usual week!
Summer Project Planning
Posted by singularknitter in Daily Life, Knitting Goals, Seasonal Crafting, Spinning! on July 8, 2014
With hot weather looming outside everyday and the prospect of having any and all wool stick to me upon contact, my summer crafting usually has to be pretty thought out. Between taking M to the pool and actually letting her play outside in the disgusting heat (I'm clearly not a big fan of being hot), I have found that small portable knitting projects get the most attention. That being said, two of my favorite events happen every summer – Stash Dash and Tour de Fleece – both of which require serious planning.
Stash Dash, hosted by TheKnitGirllls, is running from May 23rd to August 7th this year and the goal is to knit/spin/use 5K of yarn. If I only work on small projects all summer, I would not only go out of my mind, but I would likely never reach this goal. I would waste so much time in between projects deciding what I felt like working on next. I very easily get analysis paralysis…
In order to minimize the time wasted in this manner, I've lined up some of the larger projects I would like to accomplish this year that would seriously help reach the 5K goal. Since I won't likely bring these projects on our outdoor "adventures", I will be certain to have a smaller project on the needles at all time.
- Viajante by Martina Behm (this has been on the needles since July 2013 and seriously needs to be finished)
- Anna Maria Cardigan by Connie Chang Chinchio (the sweater I was knitting for my mother until I realized it was large enough to fit three of her and needs to be re-cast on)
- Lush Cardigan by Tin Can Knits (hopefully to be my Rhinebeck Sweater)
It is also unlikely that I will be able to knit quickly enough to accomplish this entire goal. Luckily, spinning also counts – and that's where Tour de Fleece comes in. Running from July 5th to July 27th, Tour de Fleece is the perfect motivation to spend some serious time spinning in the comfort of my air conditioning. I don't ask for much, but I do require it to be 80 degrees or cooler in order to spin without feeling like I'm felting the fiber before it even reaches the orifice of my wheel…
This year, however, Tour de Fleece seemed to sneak up on me – as did the month of July in general. I originally intended on spinning my Jacob fleece batts and having it either all ready to ply or completely finished by the end of the Tour. Since it began on July 5th and I realized the day of that I had projects going on nearly all of my bobbins and both of my drop spindles, I decided to change things up a bit.
I would like to be able to clean and condition my wheel before spinning my Jacob fleece, so I'll need all of the bobbins cleared to do that properly. So…. you guessed it – my goal is now to finish all of the spinning projects I have in the works… or at least the ones not on storage bobbins. The current hope – and by that I clearly mean plan – is to clear these off my wheel and my spindles:
This is also a much better goal as I will be doing a bit of traveling and it is much more reasonable to bring along a drop spindle or two than to bring my wheel along for the ride. Not to mention a lot less annoying for those I'll be traveling with!
What are your crafting goals for the summer? Planning any Christmas in July crafting to get a head start on your gifts basket? Please share to keep me… inspired? …paralyzed by all the possibilities?
Pulling out the Jacob
Posted by singularknitter in Daily Life, Knitting Goals, Spinning! on March 24, 2014
After spending the holiday season and the beginning of the year cranking out some knitting, I'd been craving some spinning time. In a matter of a couple weeks, I finished spinning four 4-ounce braids of fiber and worked on spinning some punis. The first 4 ounces I had been working on for quite a long time and it took about 3 days worth of spinning time to ply it all. As a quick cleanse and to help relax, I spun another 4 ounces on a Sunday afternoon. I started off with M practicing combining treadling with drafting. When she lost interest, I continued while spinning from the fold (folding the fiber over my index finger) with a long draw technique.
I also started tackling a few items that will help me reach my 2014 goals. First, my Jacob and I became reacquainted. I pulled out the entire fleece and my combs to assess the situation. I may not have finished prepping it during the Ravellenics, but at least now it is out where I will see it everyday and it should be done rather quickly as I will want the floor space in my living room back!
My only problem will be holding myself back from starting to spin it before I'm done combing it all. I do not want to spin any until I know exactly what I want to create. I was thinking of trying to spin it in a way to obtain a tweed look by spinning in the white portions throughout the chocolate brown. However, there is significantly less white to work with. Once I have finished combing it all. I will use some of the chocolate brown to do some sampling to decide how to spin and ply it all.
Holiday Crafting
Posted by singularknitter in Crafting w/ M, Daily Life, Knitting Goals, Seasonal Crafting on February 18, 2014
Though I usually have M make all of her valentines, I decided to do things a bit differently this year. She has many of the same kids in her class as last year and I didn't want to give them the same foam heart with foam letters and heart stickers. Plus, I'm all about gifting things that are also useful. Often valentines are store bought cards and/or candy. Which is fine. But four year olds only need so much candy.
Instead, I decided to use some of my dish cloth cotton to knit heart "scrubbies". These nice little hearts can be used to scrub dishes or as wash cloths. Plus, with their super convenient crocheted loops, they can be hung in the dishwasher or be thrown in the wash. I did try making a crocheted heart to see if it would take less time and look nicer… but it took at least twice as long… just to do one side of it. I asked M on Thursday morning which of the two she preferred. Luckily, it was the knitted heart. So M's teacher was gifted the larger, "fancy" heart and I made ten (I promise, even if only eight made it into the picture!) of the little knitted hearts. In order to give each valentine M's special touch, she was in charge of writing out the tags with each child's name and her own. Which, for a four year old, is a lot of hard work!
M was so pleased with how they were turning out, she started to list other people I should make the hearts for. Since I was working on most of them during our snow day the day before Valentine's Day, I told her the others might have to wait until next year!
Once Valentine's Day was over, I had the three-day weekend ahead of me to craft on whatever I wanted. I always find that after (self-imposed) "obligation" knitting is complete, I want to do nothing but spin. Since I was out of the house most of the weekend, I did work a lot on my mother's sweater. But whenever I was home, I worked on spinning up some Highland Handmades' Polwarth (aka Pitch Pine Top) in the SSKers For the Win colorway.
On Presidents' Day, I took advantage of my day off to not only clean my place, but to sew the rest of the fold-over hems on my father's sweater as well as sew on the six buttons. One would maybe think this should have been done back in September when the knitting was finished. But after finishing the hems at the bottom of the sweater, the collar and both the sleeves were incredibly intimidating. Not to mention time consuming. I kept fearing I would get nearly to the end of the collar, only to find that I had sewn it askew. Luckily, I had an easy way to line up the sleeves as the hem portion was continued directly from the rest of the sleeve and I could line up the stitches exactly. However, the collar portion had been picked up and knitted from the cast on of the sweater, so there was not the same number of stitches and with the raglan increases, the stitches in the sweater were at an angle while the "hem" was straight. It took some doing and a lot of straight pins (which are incredibly useless when sewing knitting), but the sweater is now finished. My father, who was over spending some play time with M, was able to wear it home.
I might not be completing my intended goals during this Olympic season, but at least I seem to be staying on track with my overall year goals of completing these sweaters and using up stash!

What does a spider have to do to give many people the creeps? Nothing. Nothing at all. Just being a spider is enough. And that's exactly why spooky spider decorations are an excellent choice on October 31st.
Here's 5 of our favorite Halloween spider decorations to "creepify" your home or office.
On This Page You'll Find
1.) Extra Large 6 Foot Halloween Spider Web
When it comes to giant Halloween spider decorations, this Extra Large 6 Foot Halloween Spider Web is a great choice! It's eye-catching, durable, reusable, and can be added to doorways, staircases, banisters, ceilings, windows, and more. The web itself is black and comes as a standalone item. But not to worry, it can easily be accessorized with many other Halloween spider decorations like this 26" black and orange furry spider.
2.) Hairy Spider With LED Eyes
Extra large spider decorations like this Hairy Spider With LED Eyes are becoming more and more popular. At over 30", this big black spider decoration can be combined with the 6 foot spider web mentioned above for a truly spine-tingling effect on Halloween. It can be used both inside and outside, but is probably most suitable for indoors. The red light up LED eyes make this giant spider extremely eerie in a dimly lit room. They require 2 AA batteries that are not included.
3.) Fun Express Halloween Spider Webs With Plastic Spiders – 12 Packs
The all-purpose award for spider web Halloween decorations has to go to this 12 pack of Halloween Spider Webs With Plastic Spiders from Fun Express. Use them indoors on doors, windows, staircases, light fixtures, and furniture or stretch them outside across porches, swings, fences, gates, trees, bushes, and more! You need a little patience to stretch the webs exactly the way you want them, but with 12 spider web packs and 1" spiders included with each pack, it's hard to go wrong with these spider web decorations for Halloween.
Looking for a large Halloween spider decoration to terrify friends, family, and neighbors? Then, look no further than the Hidden Kingdom Insects Black Widow Spider. At 7" long by 5" wide, it's clearly too large to be a real spider, but that won't keep your guests from having a mini heart attack when they find it under their chair, in the toilet or shower, or dropping down suddenly from the ceiling. These black widow spiders are hand-painted, made from safe, phthalate and lead-free materials, are soft and flexible, and are terrifyingly realistic. They can be used indoors, but also make an excellent outdoor Halloween spider decoration.
5.) Spooky, Sparkly Spiders Halloween Decoration
For those looking to stay on the "cuter" side of Halloween, the Spooky, Sparkly Spiders Halloween Decoration is a great choice. You can either get 2 spiders with a hairy spider web, or you can opt for just 2 purple, orange, and black spiders that can be placed in any large spider web decoration. These spiders are freakishly flexible, so you can hang them just about anywhere. With their larger than life cuteness, these big spider decorations are great for Halloween parties with kids, or even Itsy Bitsy Spider birthday celebrations.
More Halloween Spider Decorations
This Halloween, there are many great spider decorations to choose from. You can come up with a lot of other great ideas by also looking at these inflatable spider Halloween decorations, realistic spider decorations, hanging spider decorations, silly spider Halloween decorations, edible Halloween spider decorations, and outdoor spider decorations.

I wanted to share with you my Art Guardian. She will be placed as the first page in my Lifebook Art Journal, a great class by Tamara Laporte.
I started out sketching her out and then started in on the background. Most of my papers are temporarily packed away so i created my own tissue paper. I used some of my favorite Tim Holtz stamps on a piece of tissue paper I had lying around and then collaged that in to the background,
I then started adding layers of color using acrylic paint and water-soluble crayons. I love how you can still see the stamped tissue poking through.
Next I really wanted to add some texture to her wings. So I dabbed on Fiber Paste being careful to leave the peaks in it. While it was still wet I drew in the details for the feathers. I added my word for the year, Thrive, along the side of her wing.
Last step was to add a bit of sparkle to the heart she was holding. i went over it with Iridescent Medium. I was very please with how this came out.
I am going to enter this into 2 challenges. The Simon Says Stamp A is for, In my case A is for Art Journal and Art Guardian. The other challenge is Stampendous A New Year. My New years resolution is to work in my art journals more and to practice drawing more faces. I must say I am really happy with this page. Thank you very much for stopping by i hope you enjoyed my little Guardian.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee inaugurated the second Mati Utsav (Land Festival) in Panagarh near Durgapur yesterday. The idea of holding Mati Utsav was conceived by Mamata Banerjee government last year for promoting cultures and traditions of rural Bengal.
Nothing seems to deter chief minister Mamata Banerjee from having her way. Despite criticism that her debt-strapped government was squandering central funds by organising fairs and festivals, the CM while inaugurating the second Mati Utsav said, "Its people's fair. It's for the grassroots; it's a fair where Bengal's culture, creativity, passion for growth and development would get recharged every year."
Tollywood star Prosenjit Chatterjee, singer Indranil Sen and writer and activist Mahasweta Devi also were vocal in their support during the inauguration.
Mahasweta Devi was termed 'Bhumi Kanya (Daughter of Land)' during the opening ceremony today and she was 'made' to recite a written statement that read: "This whole festival needs to be video graphed and shown across the country, especially at New Delhi."
Then she gave voice to Tagore's Swarthak Janam Amar jonmechhi ei Deshe. Further, the former Leftist legendary human activist read: "Mamata has tamed down the fumes in Junglemahal and now Delhi is calling her. I want to see her as Prime Minister of India."
A bunch of Cabinet ministers, departmental top brasses accompanied the chief minister as she inaugurated fire stations, agri-marketing stores, hostels for students, veterinary hospitals, drinking water projects and laid foundation for 32 projects, including 224 roads, 63 minor irrigation projects through remote devices from the Mati Utsav podium.
Later while addressing the people, Miss Banerjee lashed out at the critics of the Mati Utsav and said: "They ruled the state. Why couldn't they organise such people's fair. They were rather busy with political rallies and never felt the need to get the people involved. Let them say whatever they want. I shall continue to organise hundreds of such fairs and festivals in my state."
Inquiries at Writers' Buildings revealed the agriculture department had to allocate funds from the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojna (RKVY) to sponsor the last years Mati Utsav at Panagarh near Durgapur. RKVY – is the central scheme that came into being during the Eleventh Plan for achieving a 4% growth rate in agriculture and allied sectors.
Not very long ago, the CM had distributed Rs 40.09 crore to 2,395 clubs and promised to keep the handout "project" alive for five years. This disbursal, too, was routed through the plan head of the sports department.
The CM this year skipped visiting the pavilions of 'Mati Utsav' possibly due to last year's bitter experience where people were seen encroaching the security zone frequently and she even threatened to slap photographers after getting worked up by their frenzied desire to get snaps of her.

Mental health crises are common occurrences. Making sure you create a safe space for clients to talk about their painful experiences and harmful thoughts is the first step towards helping to restore their emotional health and sense of life purpose. Following the steps outlined here, competently and compassionately, can alleviate the emotional burden your client is facing and prepare them for a safer and brighter road ahead.
When my kids were toddlers, my husband and I had a complex division of labor. We both worked full-time and, as is often the case for working parents of little ones, there was always way more that needed to be done than we had time for. It felt like we were constantly in motion trying to keep on top of all the chores and errands and general management of our house and tiny kids. Sleep-deprived and mentally exhausted by the end of the day, I soon found myself looking forward to "dishes nights" and feeling tired just thinking about "bath nights."
Right now, the science of mindfulness, as well as acceptance and compassion-focused therapies, are growing at warp speed. Clinicians are steadily presented with new treatment options for anxiety and depression that are grounded in centuries of meditation tradition and tested and honed by advanced research. It's understandable that this rapid emergence of new methods and techniques can seem a little daunting. Thankfully, we don't need to begin again from scratch when we wish to work with innovations in mindfulness and self-compassion.
Today we are pleased to announce that we've raised $45 million in new financing, which we will use to accelerate development of new tools and expand our team. This funding further validates the need for innovative mental health software and we'll continue to show how software, data, and a human touch can be blended to make it easier for people to learn new skills, change thoughts and behaviors, and live happier and more fulfilling lives.
Starting today, Lyra has a brand new look, one that we feel reflects our values, who we are, and how far we've come since first launching in January 2016. When we set out to redesign the Lyra brand, we wanted to make it feel just like us – modern and hi-tech, but also calming and supportive. We also strived to create something that our diverse audiences – members, providers, and employers – could relate to. Not an easy task, but we are really proud of what we've created.
Sometimes we think of psychological difficulties like anxiety, or depression, or anger, more like traits, or something inside us – and that living well means getting rid of this flawed broken piece of us. But what if we approached psychological well-being as something that we can work towards, one small act at a time, over a period of time, across different situations, with different people? What if we practiced well-being?
I find having an experienced clinician pay close attention to my therapeutic work liberating. That's why I'm a strong advocate for supervisory consultation. However, I've observed that once licensed, many clinicians find themselves so busy that supervision gets left behind. Granted, making time for supervision in an already full schedule is challenging, but participating in supervision and consultation practice is vital if we are to give clients the best of what we have to offer.
It turns out there is a stepwise method for addressing thinking traps that gives us a little freedom from their tyranny. It's called reappraisal. Reappraisal means slowing down, looking at what's going on in your mind, and evaluating your thoughts. It's especially helpful when you're having a strong emotional response. It's a skill you can easily learn, and though it seems pretty basic, following the steps can help reduce the intensity of a painful emotion and lead to more effective actions.
Your company has a mission statement. Why not you? It's not about goals, outcomes, or profits. It's about who you want to be and how you want to act in every moment of your life. In essence, a personal mission statement is about your values. They are your inner compass. When things get hard, we tend to lose sight of what's important. Our actions can be driven by our immediate reactions (e.g., irritability) or old habits (e.g., procrastinating). Values serve as a guide to help us know what to do and how to be.
Lately it seems every time I turn around there's a new article or YouTube video about how to become happier. It's widely reported that "happiness classes" are the most popular courses on many college campuses, with enrollments topping 1,000 students per class at some universities. As a culture we're obsessed with the idea of finding something that makes us happy and keeps us that way. Americans rate "happy" and "joyous" emotions as having a higher value than "calm" and "peaceful." And because we value them we're always chasing them and trying very hard to keep them around.
Why is it so hard for us as parents to watch our children fail? It's antithetical to the whole parenting enterprise, isn't it? We work hard for years to ensure that our children have the tools to succeed. It's heartbreaking for us when they experience hurt, fear, and sadness. We want to rush in and pick them up and set them back on their feet. But here is the crux of the matter: We need to step back and allow ourselves to be vulnerable too – to fail at protecting our children from their feelings.
Emotions like anxiety, sadness, and rage are powerful neural states that can be extremely challenging to experience. And without the right skills, we can respond to them by acting in ways that bring negative consequences. Wouldn't it seem that the logical answer is to suppress these dangerous feelings?As it turns out, one of the best ways to respond to emotions is to approach them with mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion rather than through avoidance or over-control.
Our minds are constantly appraising the world around us. Appraisals are adaptive: our ancestors needed the ability to identify, interpret, and problem-solve the events in their lives in order to survive. In contemporary life, this skill is no longer just about survival. It influences everything we do—planning for the future, negotiating relationships, finding love, and so on. But sometimes, this amazing skill can also get us into trouble.
"There's nothing you can do. You're just going to have to accept it." Has anyone ever said this to you? Or something similar? If you're like me, it probably wasn't very helpful, even if it was true. You probably felt shut down or dismissed, even if the person who said it was trying to help. There are two reasons a statement like this doesn't help. First, most of us don't have a clue about how to accept something. There's no instruction book. Second, the word "acceptance" can imply giving in, giving up, or resigning yourself to lousy circumstances—and who wants that?
If you've considered video therapy, you may have asked yourself, "Could this actually work?" The good news is that numerous research studies have shown that video therapy is a feasible option. It's been used with a variety of clients, from children, to adults, to couples. According to research, it produces clinical outcomes similar to traditional in-person therapy and is generally associated with good client satisfaction.
Research has shown that the compassion and kindness we experience have a huge impact on how our brains mature, our physical health, and on our general well-being. Shame and social anxiety are also affected by our experience of compassion. It turns out that when we use imagery and meditation to train our brains in self-compassion, we're able to overcome the tyranny of social fears, and we're better able to approach life with courage, curiosity, and a capacity for joy.
Unlike most other organisms, our brains cannot tell the difference between an actual threat and a symbolic one. What this means is that our brain confuses actual threats with thinking about threats. Indeed, we tend to respond to fearful thoughts as though they are real. Nowhere is this tendency to experience and react to thoughts as if they were real more apparent than in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). And nowhere is it more evident how this tendency can trap us. For many, it not only traps us, it takes away all of our sense of wonder and possibility in the world.
If only there was a way to figure out who was likely to use the most up-to-date scientific methods, while still thoughtfully considering the circumstances of the individual needing help. That is exactly what evidence-based practice is.
I was recently at a conference on the science of psychology and mental health treatment. I was struck by the number of women in attendance compared to the number of men. Women outnumbered the men three to one. But the women were largely sitting in the audience—while the men were standing at the podium, lecturing. This experience led me to, once again, ponder questions about gender and equality in mental health and psychology. It also led me to question how we define mental health given the lower level of participation by women than men in creating that definition.
Upward social comparison is sometimes really useful. It can give us information about what we want to be doing more of and serve as a motivator, like when you notice that your friend Joe is great at getting to the gym more frequently than you, and you try to be more like him. As we've all experienced, however, there can be a downside to upward social comparison.
Imagine your child is throwing an epic tantrum in the grocery store. You're in line at the checkout counter, and he or she is demanding candy. The person ahead of you is taking forever, and people are beginning to stare. See if you can make this scenario real in your mind. Are you thinking, "How do I make this stop?" Are you wondering what other people are thinking? I want to share a simple practice for dealing with situations like this one that make parenting enormously stressful.
Acceptance is an evocative word. It can imply resignation, giving up, or giving in to terrible circumstances. The practice of saying yes is not that kind of acceptance. It's being willing to have what's already there, whether inside of you or in the outside world.
According to the American Psychological Association, 40-50 percent of marriages today end in divorce. The reasons for these dismal statistics are varied, but the good news is that with commitment and work, couples can beat the odds. One of the most highly respected, extensively researched approaches to couples counseling is the Gottman Method. Through decades of research, the Gottmans discovered that there are certain factors, or key predictors, that contribute to the success or failure of a relationship.
Today's kids can be overscheduled, underslept, and overstressed. Yes, kids get stressed out just like adults when they've got too much on their plates. Not surprisingly, my daughter showed obvious warning signs, which I minimized for a while. She would cry when she was hungry and couldn't find time to eat; she became irritable when bedtime was pushed out because she was trying to get everything done; and she rebelled and simply refused when she was feeling too overscheduled.
If only I got that promotion. If only I got into business school. If only my house were bigger. If only he loved me. Have you ever found yourself thinking this way? I call it the "if-only" mindset. It's normal to have these thoughts, but believing deeply that something needs to happen before we can enjoy our lives can create tension and despair, and prevent us from truly being with what's going on in the present.
Are we getting self-care wrong? Lately, I've started to wonder if self-care itself needs self-care. A few years ago, I was telling a friend about a work situation. My supervisor informed me that everyone in the office needed to try harder. He complained that my colleagues and I were doing C-level work. I felt a mix of anxiety and annoyance since I knew how hard we were all working. And now my to-do list just got longer: I had to add the task of upgrading my performance from his idea of a C to an A+.
It turns out being mindful is hard. The moment I find myself just noticing what's happening in the present is exactly when I'm whisked away into mental reverie...If I were to make a pie chart of the time I spend focusing on the present versus swimming in my thoughts, the "present" slice would be comically slim, probably somewhere in the 5-10% range. That's what I mean when I say I can't do it either.
I am not a perfect mother. I am not Supermom. I cannot do everything right for my daughter. I can't always be the best spouse to my husband. And I cannot be the perfect career woman. Simply put, I've abandoned the myth of the Supermom, and I feel so much better. You can too.
Does your work day ever go by in a blur and later you barely remember what happened? Are you ever physically at dinner but mentally still at work? Maybe you're impatient to check email or thinking of all you've got do tomorrow to "catch up."
In blackjack, when you have 16 and the dealer is showing 10, you have a tough choice. You can either "hit" or "stand," but regardless of what you choose, you're more likely to lose than win. In a situation like this, it's helpful to have a decision-making framework based on the science of probability. When you think in terms of probability, the decision to hit or stand is less likely to be influenced by how you're feeling.

Permission, an EP by Polish metallers Nonamen, was recently featured on Femetalism. The band are currently working on their debut full-length album but guitarist Maciek Dunin-Borkowski took time out to answer a few questions from yours truly.
So, how did Nonamen get together?The beginning of Nonamen... after the break-up of my previous project (The Fallen Icon) I decided to create something on my own, that was in 2010. I was looking for right musicians for almost 2 years. There were many changes in our line-up, some were accompanied by a sense of relief, some with tears, but I believe that the current line-up is strong, finally.
Can you tell us a bit about each member of the band?Each member… so Hi, I'm Maciek, I play guitar (laugh). But seriously, beginning with ladies: Edyta Szkołut is our vocalist and she works as a computer graphic artist. Agnieszka Reiner plays violin and actually in the band she is the only one with music education behind. She also works as a professional musician. Grzesiek Kozikowski and Grzesiek Janiga form Nonamen's rhythm section - they are both music maniacs and exemplary fathers and husbands. As to me - as I said: I play guitar, and I try to keep the whole gang together.
Where did the name Nonamen come from?Well, I've always been afraid of this question. There were many heated debates about it, even when the band was born. Nonamen was a compromise, a word devoid of meaning and does not have a tragic sound to it. By the way, it's often mispronounced: it's not actually two separate words "non" and "amen", but one word and the accent falls on the second syllable.
How would you describe your sound?It's a tricky question. I think our music may be said to be non-standard. When bands have female vocals and violin they stereotypically fit into the gothic or symphonic metal aesthetics. We're away from that also because Edyta's voice is rather aggressive. As to the sound, we rely on contrastive blend of violin and metal.
Your EP Permission was released in 2012. Can you tell us about the EP?The EP material includes just three songs that go back to the very first line-up of Nonamen. After the band was reorganised in January 2012 we started working on our music afresh. The result was exactly Permission EP that we released without any label.
You are currently working on a full-length album. What can you tell us about the new release?The material for "Obsession" is being mixed as we speak. It will be 10 new songs, about 50 min of music. The release will be much darker and more mature than our EP. As to the composing process: I bring in the raw material that we work on during our rehearsals - everyone chips in. Then the time comes for Edyta who works on the vocal tracks and the lyrics. She also designed the cover of the CD. As to the release date, unfortunately, we cannot give you the exact day. We hoped to join it with the release of our friends from a Polish doom metal band, Lacrima, but in the end numerous circumstances caused that we had to postpone it. We can only guarantee that it will be released in autumn - this year, of course.
We have seen your studio reports and it looks like you have had a lot of fun making the album. Where have you been recording and how has the process been?Recording time in the studio is very tense, but we tried to enjoy it and keep the atmosphere cool and friendly. Because I myself work as a sound engineer in a small studio in Kraków - our material was recorded in my workplace. This gave us a lot of freedom and relative flexibility to do what we wanted.
What motivates you to make music?I don't know actually. It comes out of its own. When I see people sharing my passion, I am much more motivated. Not to mention a situation when I see the audience who enjoys the music during our shows and reacts to it.
Which artists have influenced you?I've heard that in the music I compose there is considerable influence of Opeth. I won't deny it - I love this band. I'm sure that Dream Theater, Symphony X or Porcupine Tree should be mentioned in this context… and movie soundtracks.
What do you enjoy most about playing live and which Nonamen song do you most enjoy playing?Definitely the thing I enjoy most during our gigs is a chance to connect with the audience. This cannot be compared to anything, anything else! I particularly like playing the song that is at the end of the setlist, and actually is also at the end of our CD - that is: Emily.
Inspired by a recent guest article on Femetalism, I am interested in finding out more about the metal scene in other countries. Can you tell us about the metal scene in Poland?Polish metal scene kicks ass right now. As to bands we have at least three very well-established groups: Behemoth, Vader and Decapitated. If you look at the line-ups of Europe's largest festivals, like Wacken Open Air or Brutal Assault you'll find them there. I think especially Behemoth's on top right now - and they deserve it, because they worked for it many years.
Then there are a few bands that are gaining more and more popularity as well… just to mention Obscure Sphinx and Lacrima. You have to see Obscure Sphinx live - the shrieks of the female vocalist, Zofia, send shivers down your spine. Lacrima has just been reactivated - it's the oldest Polish doom metal band and this year they played in Italy, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Latvia in the line-up of some really big festivals.
Then, there is black metal scene, which is very, very strong in Poland. Mgła that played at Brutal Assault this year is a fantastic band. They make depressive and genuine black metal.
The only problem is that we don't have large metal festivals. There were two editions of Metalfest, but the second one had so few people that I'm not surprised the organizers didn't make the third edition. There are some small underground fests, but they are small and their promotors cannot afford to get good, international headliners. It would be fantastic to have something like Brutal Assault or Masters of Rock in Poland
So what's next for Nonamen?I hope that after the release we'll play some shows in Poland and abroad, maybe we'll be lucky to play some festivals? We hope you'll keep your fingers crossed for that!
Massive thanks to Maciek for taking the time to talk to Femetalism about Nonamen - indeed our fingers are crossed for some festival appearances. Check out Permission and keep your eyes on the site for an update on the the release of the new album which is due for release later this year - we will let you know as soon as we can about the release date.Follow the band on:

The breadth and coverage of analytical expertise in the IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) are unique assets that underpin IEA efforts to support innovation for energy security, economic growth and environmental protection. The 38 TCPs operating today involve about 6 000 experts from government, industry and research organisations in more than 50 countries1.
Hydrogen TCP
Exploring pathways for fuel cell vehicles with hydrogen
The Hydrogen TCP aims to accelerate deployment and use of hydrogen technologies by carrying out and co-ordinating collaborative activities of analysis, applied research and communication. Recent work indicates that the availability of widespread hydrogen delivery infrastructure is of crucial importance and it should be based on national, regional and local conditions.
Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) powered by hydrogen are approaching commercialisation. Yet further development of large-scale hydrogen delivery infrastructure is needed. While hydrogen refuelling stations have grown eightfold since 2004, better understanding of the technical and economic viability of such refuelling points aid to further commercialise FCEVs.
For these reasons the Hydrogen TCP set out to develop a common knowledge base on concepts and components for the large-scale delivery of hydrogen; evaluate delivery infrastructure pathways and scenarios; identify knowledge gaps with regards to hydrogen deployment strategies; and explore potential synergies with storage applications for variable renewable energy sources.
Activities of this important four-year study completed in 2014 comprise data collection, comprehensive overviews of the eight countries participating in the project, analysis and scenarios. An important element of the study involved an inventory (mapping) of existing hydrogen refuelling stations worldwide, including an evaluation of the technical feasibility, capacity and functional requirements of each. While some 250 hydrogen refuelling stations exist worldwide, the majority of these are found in Europe (40%) and are located on industrial sites and at university pilot projects; therefore, they are not accessible to the general public.
Significant differences were noted in the delivery options available in each country. On site-reforming (converting natural gas to hydrogen) is virtually absent in Europe but prevalent in Asia. While compressed hydrogen-dispensing techniques are used in Europe, Asia and North America, on-site reforming is more common in North America.
Understanding the costs associated with integrating the hydrogen refuelling stations will enable further technology deployment. The study set guidelines and definitions of the costs of equipment and of integrating the equipment into the service station. Further analysis of the cost of distribution networks and cash flows is needed. Finally, the study explored options for combining widespread hydrogen refuelling stations with renewable sources.
Designed for industries and policy makers, the preliminary findings highlight that all hydrogen delivery options are feasible, yet the most practical and economic options will depend on national, regional and local circumstances. In addition, the standardisation of regulations, codes and standards is the key to driving down hydrogen refuelling system integration and component costs. The insights and experiences gained are being compiled into the report, Large-Scale Hydrogen Delivery Infrastructure: Final Report.

We accomplished six months of benchmarking in two days.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) January 27, 2016
The 2016 Remote Working Summit is being held at the Dallas Westin Galleria on February 17-18.
"The conference brings together thought leaders and subject matter experts on work at home for contact centers, and telecommuting programs for the enterprise side of the business. The best way to match the pace of change is to benchmark within group settings, and that's exactly what we do for two days," says Michele Rowan, President of Customer Contact Strategies.
Nearly 15 million people telecommute in the US today for at least part of their regular work schedule (Global Workplace Analytics), and the forecast is for 50% growth by 2017. Companies are more easily attracting talent, and elevating employee satisfaction by offering flexible working and telecommuting as a work option. The long-term real estate savings and carbon emission reductions continue to deliver compelling returns.
Topics include Virtual Performance Management, Virtual Sourcing and Hiring, Virtual Training, Gamification, IT/Security/Equipment and Services Provisioning. The 2016 Remote Working Summit is being held at the Dallas Westin Galleria February 17-18.

The FCC Sideswipes TV Sidecar Deals
Settled arrangements are being unsettled so lawyers, lobbyists and politicians can collect fees to resettle them.
Washington at its worst typically comes in the second term of an exhausted presidency. Its worst is doubly reinforced by President Obama's decision to unleash his bureaucracy in lieu of any agenda valuable enough to the American people that he could get it through Congress. The result is usually bureaucracy for its own stake.
Here's an example: For more than two decades, the Federal Communications Commission has been blessing so-called sidecar deals in which local TV stations share certain costs and engage in joint sales activities,...

Almost every parent can relate to this dilemma – putting a new car seat cover in the morning just to have it end up with stains later in the day. Most of the stains are found at the back of the driver´s seat or the front passenger´s seat. How come? The doers are the seemingly harmless tiny tots enjoying their videos and squeaking in enjoyment. Guess what else they are doing while being delighted? Yes, they are kicking the back of your seat, with their shoes on. And yes, it looks like you´ll have to change your seat cover again.
Kids almost always kick their feet in the car, maybe due to being unconsciously bored or restless. It´s even worse when they consciously do it, like when they are having a tantrum and kicking the seat in front of them makes them feel better. Parents have to deal with this sad reality for their car, but they can definitely do something about it. There are two things that they can do, actually.
One thing that parents can do is to take off the shoes of their children when inside the car. This is definitely the simplest and maybe one of the most effective ways to avoid stains in the cover, despite the annoying kick that they will just have to deal with. Telling children to stop kicking is impossible. Well, you can tell them, but following is the part that´s impossible.
Of course, as a parent, you can always buy and install a car kick mat at the back of the driver´s seat and the front passenger seat, or at the back of every seat facing your children on their car seats. A car kick mat will keep your seat cover clean for a long time, so long as the children´s kicking is the only thing that gives it stain.
Okay, now that buying a car kick mat has been proven to be the best solution, choosing the best one in the market is the next thing to do. When choosing one, get the waterproof and washable one. That way, you can clean it just by simply wiping it with a wet cloth and without the need to remove the mat from the seat altogether. This allows parents to save time and easily keep their car clean. Time-savers are parents´ best friends.
Another factor that a good car kick mat should have is a long adjustable strap and a wide coverage that will cover the whole back part of the seat.
When the seats of the car already have a car kick mat, parents are saved from a lot of trouble and extra expenses that come with always washing the car seat covers. Buying a kick mat is indeed the smartest thing to do. It´s amazing how one simple car accessory can give much relief to parents at present.
Now, don´t ever think about having a do-it-yourself kick mat and waste time and energy coming up with a decent one. Just go get one from home stores and be even more amazed at how affordable it is.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 2, 2013) - SelectCore Ltd. ("SelectCore" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SCG), Canada's Leading Payments Organization, announced today that the Province of Alberta has chosen SelectCore to provide prepaid MasterCard cards for the disbursement of emergency relief funds to citizens displaced by the recent floods.
The Province of Alberta is distributing SelectCore's prepaid MasterCard cards as part of the Province's $1-billion pledge in reconstruction funds to affected communities. The cards are being loaded with $1,250 per adult and $500 per child as emergency relief in order to help pay for essential day-to-day purchases such as food and lodging.
SelectCore's emergency relief card solution allows government agencies to efficiently, securely and transparently distribute financial aid immediately to displaced families in the event of a disaster. The use of prepaid cards also significantly reduces the cost of distribution and risk associated with traditional cash or cheques.
"We are gratified that our prepaid card solution has been able to assist the Province of Alberta and the affected families," said Keith McKenzie, President of SelectCore. "We would also like to thank our partners at MasterCard, All-Trans Credit Union and DataCard for assisting in delivering such a fast response time."

British pop star Jessie J has become embroiled in a feud with fans after she dumped all her supporters from her Twitter.com account.
The Price Tag hitmaker, who boasts nearly seven million followers on the microblogging site, decided to cull the accounts she follows to zero and many fans were unhappy to have been dropped.
Jessie J, real name Jessica Cornish, appeared stunned by the backlash, writing, "I find it insane that some people take being unfollowed like a personal attack... If I punched you in the face fair enough. But I didn't... Meh. Pick your battles in life. Being unfollowed by anyone is not a battle to fight. Or feel any way about. It's Twitter".
She later deleted the posts and wrote, "Stop making me out to be something I'm not... I'm sorry if I offended anyone. It's NEVER my intention."

Sign Up to Receive Air Quality Forecasts
Poor air quality affects your health. Pollution can irritate your eyes, nose, and throat, cause shortness of breath, aggravate asthma and other respiratory conditions, and even stress your heart and cardiovascular system.
Breathing polluted air for long periods of time can also cause more serious health problems. Two primary causes of poor air quality in the Bay Area are ozone and particulate matter (PM). During the winter, wood smoke from woodstoves and fireplaces is the major source of PM pollution. In summer, cars, trucks, and other vehicles are the major sources of ozone.
The Bay Area Air District issues air quality forecasts every day using the Air Quality Index (AQI). The AQI is a color-coded number scale developed by the Environmental Protection Agency to give easy-to-understand information about daily air pollution levels – kind of like an air quality "thermometer."
Air District meteorologists study weather patterns that influence air pollution and analyze measurements from the agency's air quality monitoring network to compile the daily air quality forecast. These forecasts report the AQI level for the particular pollutant anticipated to reach the unhealthiest concentration in each of the Bay Area's five reporting zones. Sausalito is in the SF Bay Area Coast and Central Bay region.
You can get the daily air quality forecast by calling the Air District's 24-hour toll-free information line, 1-800-HELP AIR, or by signing up for EnviroFlash email AirAlerts. You can also sign up for Spare the Air text alerts by texting the word "start" to the number 817-57.
Please note that when a winter Spare the Air Alert is in effect, it is illegal to burn wood, manufactured fire logs, pellets, or any other solid fuels in your fireplace, woodstove, or outdoor fire pit.

What the papers say CAP reforms already under attack
12 March 1999
What the papers say —
CAP reforms already under attack
REFORM of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which was agreed only yesterday in Brussels, fails to go far enough, according to many newspapers this morning.
The broadsheets focus on criticism by a minority of European Union (EU) countries, including Britain, which claim that more reforms are needed.
The reforms promise to cut the prices of cereals, beef and milk by up to 20%.
But after three weeks of stop-start negotiations, agriculture ministers failed to meet demands from heads of government for a freeze on farm spending.
Many papers report a government spokesman saying that Britain will press for further reform, including arrangements for reducing direct subsidies to farmers.
French Agriculture Minister Jean Glavany is also reported claiming that the reform work remains unfinished.
Mr Glavany said the reform package risks being rejected at a summit in Berlin later this month because it exceeds budgetary limits.
Yesterdays agreement will be considered at the heads of government summit taking place on 24-25 March.
They will be seeking to agree changes to the EU budget, farm policy and regional aid.
Because the deal breaks the levels implied by a budget freeze between 2000 and 2006, it is expected there will be further pressure on the UKs budget rebate.
The budget-busting implication of the deal could also mean there is another attempt to introduce "co-financing" arrangements.
These latter changes would force national governments to pick up directly some of the costs of CAP.
