What if you have not been able to be really active in your business?
What do you do then?
Sometimes you just need to give yourself a break. I heard this on a call recently, "Success is doing the best you can with the time you have available today."
Isn't that freeing?
Then tomorrow is a new day, don't try to 'catch up' don't try to do double the work for what you missed today. When 'tomorrow' is 'today', you repeat and do the best you can with the time you have available today.
Many people, myself included have limitations to what we can do. My limitations are physical, but I refuse to quit. I work from my home. I connect with people online and offer training that I have available to help people with their own businesses. You can see some if it on the right side of this page and at the end of this post. You can also see our Facebook Fan Page there, if you have not liked it yet, go ahead and give us a like. There's some free and paid training on the left of our Fan Page too. Just click on what looks interesting and put in your name and email to get it.
I also put out an almost daily newsletter where I share Cool Tips for people who are growing their own home businesses. You can get on that HERE
You should also set a minimum of tasks you will do daily, no matter what. Here are some tips to make you you get that done:
Plan your business/office hours. You will need to balance between your family time, your personal care/exercise time, your job if you have one and anything else that needs your daily attention.
Outsource what you can. You can't do everything yourself, nor should you try to.
Choose three major strategies to master. If you're brand new, start with one, master it then add the others one by one. My main strategy is Facebook to connect with people and collect leads. I also email my list daily. My third strategy is this blog. A lot of the same info you post on Facebook can also be shared to your list and in your blog. To check out the platform we use to learn all about all this and to help us to become better marketers and leaders, go here and get a 10 Day no risk trial.
Create a short daily minimum To Do list, no more than 5 items, but make sure you do them every day. Since my main strategy is Facebook, I make sure to meet new people every day. You can decide on your minimum number of people to meet, even when your day is not going great. My second must do is to email my list and I usually do get at least 3-5 emails out per week. I'm also working on getting better at blogging. Here's a great course I highly recommend.
Time yourself when you are working. Set a timer and shut everything else off and just focus on the task at hand.
You will be amazed at how much more you will accomplish if you set a timer and focus on one task at a time.

Approved 1st Action - September 2014
See Veterinary Drugs for Additional Work!
The Seafood Initiative
The first step in developing new methods is often a critical and immediate need. When contaminants like melamine or residues of unapproved antibiotics are found in imported foods, the news spreads fast. Products are recalled! The public is alarmed! An urgent need arises for multi-national and multi-industry cooperation to resolve the problem. No one wants product recalls or headlines. It's very, very expensive. Sometimes, especially in the case of international trade of food and agriculture, a good analytical method can be a bridge between two sides.
Currently, there are critical food safety issues with imported seafood. The United States, Japan, and Europe import a significant percentage of their seafood, and most of it is grown on aquaculture farms in tropical coastlines such as Thailand, China, Indonesia, Ecuador and Mexico. The food safety concerns involve chemical and biological issues; pesticides, antibiotics, speciation of fish, and bacterial pathogens. The stakeholders have identified the need for multi-drug residue method as one of their top priorities. Unfortunately, not all classes of veterinary drugs can be analyzed using the same methodology. For that reason, a group of methods may be necessary to cover all the important classes of analytes in seafood matrices.
Finding Consensus
The seafood initiative is designed to bring all parties affected by such a critical issue together to determine where analytical methods could be the most effective. A stakeholders' meeting is a really good way to find out if what you're doing, isolated in your lab, is the right thing.
State and federal regulators feel they need a "multi-antibiotic" method for testing seafood. There are so many antibiotics used, new ones being added to the list regularly, that they are constantly "playing catch-up". They are not in a position to proactively address concerns about antibiotic contamination. A multipurpose method might keep them ahead of emerging problems.
The first seafood meeting included experts working with seafood in many capacities: suppliers, distributors, a large food distributor, retailers, restaurants, government, and the trade industry. Missing in this initial meeting but essential to ultimate success were representatives of seafood suppliers and aquaculture specialists. The question posed was not what they thought of a multi-antibiotic method but "What are your method needs?" Diverse needs were identified.
For one thing, a multi-antibiotic method might be useful, they agreed, but inspection is not the complete answer to their problems. Prevention is what will save everyone money, from suppliers to restaurants and retailers. No one wins when a shipment is shipped, at considerable expense, from Bangladesh to San Francisco and gets refused at the dock. Likewise, no one wins if there is an outbreak of seafood borne illness.
While antibiotics are a main concern, they are also worried about "fish substitution," where an inexpensive species such as Vietnamese catfish is substituted for the more expensive grouper.
Food safety, especially against microbial pathogens such as V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus, is of utmost importance.
The group talked a lot about when inspection should be done. They agreed that it needed to be done close to the source, preferably before exporting.
The first meeting saw much discussion on the need for a good rapid test kits that can be used at the point of production. At present, no kits have achieved the sensitivity or specificity to drug or their metabolites needed for drugs like chloramphenicol, nitrofurans, and malachite green.
The FDA argues that the drugs being found in seafood pose a potential for human health hazards, which is why they are prohibited in most of the world. Detection at the lowest possible level is therefore essential. FDA points out a misunderstanding over use of commercially available rapid test kits. Faster does not always mean better. Rapid test kits do not have the accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity to match what the FDA can achieve with the methods they use in their laboratories using instrumentation such as triple quad liquid chromatography mass spectrophotometry (LC/MS). Test kits are only qualitative tests. If a kit detects an antibiotic, it is likely to be present. If it does not, a confirmatory test, by a more accurate and sensitive method may find the antibiotic present. If a kit is used to inspect seafood, the shipment may be held up later because of a positive laboratory test result. Kit manufacturers and regulators may need to educate users of kits on the implications of positive and negative findings.

This restaurant was new to my wife and I. We did not order their menu, but joined our travel companions as they were eating. We sampled their orders, and took home the left overs. The dishes were absolutely fresher, lighter, tastier version of Texmex food. We were sorry we didn't have the time to eat there, and can't wait til our next visit. Even the chips and salsa was a little different than what you expect at Mexican restaurants.I have one complaint, and that is about their margaritas. Their regular version margarita was a "margarita colored lime drink". Their "supreme" version was a really good margarita, but was in the $10 to 12 range. So if you're looking for a margarita don't mess with the regular.

In my view Rihanna has become one of the greatest Superstars of our time. Not only is her music lovable, so is her sense of fashion. What's more, she can literally pull e-ver-ything off. Even though her style is somewhat tough, it seems as if she can make everything look super feminine and sexy... while at the same time keeping it classy. Sums up to the awesome L00KB00K that I created here for you.

The Austin American-Statesman reported Sunday that the concrete columns can now be seen sticking out of the water. Project manager David Taylor says those columns are for the section of boardwalk known as the waterfront promenade.
Crews are working on building the steel structure between some of the columns as part of the nearly $22 million project. Concrete decks, handrails and lighting will complete the walkway.
The hike-and-bike path around the lake has a 1.2-mile gap that the boardwalk is meant to complete.
The project started in October and should be finished by spring 2014.

Anal in the Amazon is a website that is all about finding gorgeous Brazilian babes, shooting them on location in some of the most exotic and luscious locals in Brazil, and giving them the hardest ass fucking in their life! There's nothing like it! If you are into hot Brazilian babes getting pounded in the ass, then you might want to check out Anal in the Amazon.
Anal in the Amazon isn't like a lot of other websites. The girls you see on this website you aren't going to see on every other website out there on the net. All of these videos are shot on location in the most beautiful areas of Brazil, and all of the girls are blisteringly hot! Gorgeous Latina babes with perfect bodies, firm round asses, nice perky tits, smoldering eyes, cock sucking lips, and tight asses begging to be fucked! Every single scene in Anal in the Amazon in jam packed with cock sucking, ass reaming, pussy fucking action!
When I logged in to the member's only area of the website, I got really swamped by all of the data I found. There are tons of links, categories, subsections, and updates, but I found that a good majority of those had little to do with this actual website, because all of that stuff isn't just exclusive to this site, but includes the entire network! To bypass all of that chaos, just click on the 'featured series' link, and it'll direct you to a page that gives you nothing but content that is specific to this website. So far, this website has uploaded 43 different episodes, and when you get to that page it will start you off with the most recently uploaded set first. Now, the bad news — this website is, definitely, no longer updating. The last update that was uploaded to the site was in May of 2002, so I think it's safe to say that there won't be any fresh content uploaded any time soon.
If you want video content, you'll find it right when you click on one of the links. You can watch any of the videos in full length streaming directly from the website, though if you're going to do that, you'll need a pretty good internet connection. For those of you with slower speed connections, or if you're the kind of person who would rather have the video on your hard drive to watch at your convenience, there are multiple download options. You can download the movies in a high definition Divx format (which comes in at somewhere around 250MB or so per video), a small portable iPod friendly version (which is normally around 80MB or so a pop), or a WMV file format (clocking in at around 130MB or so a piece). The videos themselves look to be around 700 x 500 or so, and they are of pretty good quality, but I wouldn't say that they are the best quality videos out there. You can also click on the view DVD tab, which gives you even MORE content, though all of these are streaming WMV clips, you can't download any of this content.
For photography, just click on the view gallery tab at the top of the page, don't even bother with any of the other photo links, they are a bit misleading and will just direct you to the same page. The photographs taken for these sets are actually screen captures that have been lifted directly from the video. Each of these screen captures are around 700 x 500 a piece (just like the video), and there seems to be around 125-150 of these photographs in every gallery, some a bit more, some a bit less. The photographs are of good quality, especially for screen caps — very few of the pictures are blurry, and all of them are well lit, and none of them are grainy. They do a really good job of making sure not to miss any of the action going on in these scenes!
A membership to this site grants you no holds barred access to every site in the All Adult Pass network, including Ass Army, Double Bubble Butts, Her First Anal XXX, and way more!
A membership to Anal in the Amazon will cost you $24.95 for a month of access, or $89.99 for a year of access. I'm really surprised by the quality of the content on this site considering that it's all from 2002. There's a great amount of stuff here, great quality, really no complaints at all! Unless you're the type who has to have fresh content every week, I would definitely recommend this site along with all of its bonus content. Anal in the Amazon earns a nice 83/100. Good stuff.
When you join Anal In The Amazon, you also get access to the following websites: Amazing Footjobs, Angels With Dildos, Asian Girl Girl, Ass Arsenal, Banged Babysitters, Booty Catchers, Brit Bangers, Bust That Cherry, Chocolate Sistas, Dirty Teachers Pet, Ebony Internal, Escort Trick, Fill My Pink, Freaks Of Porn, Her Thick Black Ass, Intense Penetrations, Internal Explosions, Latina Girl Girl, Little Naughty Nymphos, Mexxxicunts, My Busty Girlfriend, Naughty Indian Girls, Raw Black Amateurs, Real Hooker Videos, She Has A Negro Problem, Shemale Ultra, Swallow For Cash, Sweet Suckers, The Mother Fucker, and Whore Gaggers.

Leave No Mom Behind
Thankfully, other kind spirits in this world are better able to channel their mental and physical energy. One of my friends in the computer, Debbie, lost her mom to lung cancer (and no, she was not a smoker) two years ago today. To honor her mom, Debbie is planning to RUN A FREAKIN' MARATHON in Denver on September 21, 2008. A marathon! Now that's some commitment to the cause. Debbie has a page set up where you can make donations to support her, and by doing so, support lung cancer research. Please stop by and say hello, and donate if you can.

Will check her out momentarily.
I think you've got more than enough on your plate right now. Selfish is not a word I'd ever use to describe you - stop using it yourself! Right this very minute.
You honor John in so many ways. We don't always have to do something public to honor those people we love so dearly.
You are doing a bang-up job raising the two children you and John created. That's honoring your husband.

Selfish is the last word I'd use!! I can't thank you enough for helping me spread the word about my mom, and helping to put a human face to this terrible disease. Every action we take in this world to make it a better place is an act of love and selflessness..so don't sell yourself short.
I read all of your archives about John months ago. He sounded like such a wonderful man, husband and father, and he'd be so proud of how great a mom you are, and how caring of a person, in spite of your grief. I promise you now, I'll be thinking about him, too, when I run.
- 10:12
I agree with everyone else in saying that 'selfish' is certainly the last word I would use. Like so many others before you and so many that will follow you, you will find a way to honor John beyond the private ways that you already do - and the world will be a better place because of it. For the time being, remind your children of him and his love, and watch them grow to be the loving, caring, and outstanding adults that they are sure to become.
I am still working through your archives, and have been a reader for quite some time - today just seemed fitting to 'out' myself! Off to check-out Debbie's site.
- 15:04
You are busy doing the work that you need to do right now.
I know you didn't it mean it in a judgemental way, but it does bother me when people ask if someone who had lung cancer smoked or not.
A friend of mine recently lost her mother to lung cancer and her mother did smoke. What difference does it make? No one deserves to die too soon and in that way(again, I know you are way more in touch than that, I'm just generally venting here.)

((Sorry to borrow comment space here, but I thought I could also answer Kathleen if it's OK!))
Kathleen- I think Stacey was making the same point I did in telling my mom's story- that is EVERYONE'S first question when I tell them she died of lung cancer. I bring that up as a way of trying to open people's eyes than ANYONE can get lung cancer, not just those with the obvious risk factors. Unfortunately, the bias against smokers is what keeps funding for lung cancer research so low. I for one? Hate cigarette smoke. I have a big nose and I can smell it a mile away. But if I die with two healthy lungs and they get donated to a dying smoker? More power to them. Everyone is somebody's baby and everyone leaves behind someone who loves and misses them. I would hope that the smoker had a change of heart and decided to stop smoking after getting a new gently-used set, but that's not the same as "strings attached". Nobody deserves to die like that, not a macrobiotic vegan or a two-pack-a-dayer. The only thing that needs to die an excruciatingly nasty death is cancer.

First of all, I'm so sorry about your friend's mom.
I totally get what you're saying, and Debbie hit the nail on the head when answering you, so I won't repeat all the good stuff she said. I hesitated when I noted that Debbie's mom didn't smoke, but it's true that some people (hopefully not my blog readers, but still) that lung cancer is a disease that people deserve to get because they smoked. If that's not bad enough, most of those people don't know you can get lung cancer even if you don't smoke. So opening people's eyes to the fact that cancer kills indiscriminately is important.
Cancer just plain sucks. No two ways about it.

Cook's Quotes
"No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook writers." ― Laurie Colwin

Yet, another natural disaster has occurred after the tragedy of the Tsunami in 2004. My heart goes out to all the victims of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar. It is quite a gruesome thought when I think of corpses piling on top of each other, and it's getting higher and higher each day. It's gonna even cause more sickness towards the surviving victims as they have no daily supplies of food and water. Plus, bearing with the stench.
Oh God.
Mother Nature has got Her own ways of showing how powerful She is when man goes against Her. I wonder what is next. Sigh. Hopefully nothing. Please.
Period pain sucks. Bad day.

Acupuncture May Benefit Pregnancy
In a new study, acupuncture designed to treat depression appears to improve symptoms in pregnant women, suggesting it as an alternative to antidepressant medication during pregnancy.
As reported in The Wall Street Journal, the study is the largest to date examining the effectiveness of acupuncture to treat depression in pregnant women:
As many as 14% of pregnant women are thought to develop a significant depression at some point during their pregnancy, according to the study authors. In the study, 150 clinically depressed pregnant women who weren't previously taking antidepressants were randomly assigned to get either acupuncture for depression, acupuncture not specifically designed for depression, or massage for eight weeks. Those who got acupuncture targeting depression had a significantly greater decrease in depressive symptoms, compared with the other women. Some 63% of women in the acupuncture-for-depression group responded to treatment, compared with 44% in the other groups.

I love snow in Texas…mainly because I know it will be gone tomorrow. I swear I'm still scarred from the four winters we spent in Iowa. By the end of our time there, I would get seriously depressed every time it snowed. Snow in the Midwest starts in December and doesn't leave until April.
I heard one of the Fox newscasters actually use the words, "blizzard conditions" and "treacherous." Are you kidding me?!?! Yes, we got a couple of inches of snow, but that does not qualify it as a blizzard, for crying out loud. Let me tell you about blizzards… (she obviously has lived in the south her entire life!)
The other thing that puzzled me is the parents freaking out and not wanting their kids to go outside to play because it was still snowing. Seriously? You realize this snow will be completely gone by this time tomorrow, and probably won't be back for at least another year. Let your kids play! In Iowa, if it got up to 20 degrees, it was warm enough to play in the snow.
My kids played in the snow (after they found their long-lost mittens)! Here are a few pics that captured the joy:
Meghan's friends, Sydney & Amanda, came over to play. They scraped the snow off the driveway and put it in a box to take in the backyard to make snowballs.
That would be a Fruit Face! Grapes for eyes, a lime for a nose, and a banana for a mouth – and wet firewood for arms.

Armed with a crew of eight, the Limerick, a Schock35 sailboat, left the dock of the Somers Yacht club and prepared to set sail in one of the season�s first races.
Though many of the boat�s competition still sat on their trailers in the parking lot, Jim Kelley, skipper and owner of the Limerick, rarely turns down a chance to race.
With almost 40 years of experience sailing, Kelley said, �when you�re hooked, then you�re hooked.�
Kelley and his crew relaxed on deck, cracking jokes and listening to Jimmy Buffet on the 35-foot vessel�s sound system as they waited for the setting sun to bring the evening thermal that would carry the boats up and down the race course on Flathead Lake.
Without a hint of a breeze in the air, Kelley predicted the wind would arrive 20 minutes later, right at 8:35 p.m.
As one of the fastest boats on the lake, the Limerick sails in the A class � the first and longest race.
As boats left the dock and took their positions, Kelley pointed out the only other A class boat in the race that night, a smaller trimaran.
In Kelley�s 40 years as a sailor, he has sailed in several races off Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, spent a season racing around the Virgin Islands and traveled to race at Tampa Bay, Florida.
Anytime he travels, Kelley tries to swing by yacht clubs to see if anyone needs an extra hand on deck. He said he�s good about bumming a ride.
Despite nearly four decades of racing, Kelley�s experience pales in comparison to his first mate�s 57 years of experience.
Liz Maul was almost born sailing, growing up in a family of sailors and later marrying one. After years of sailing in everything from tiny dinghies to 45-foot schooners, Maul moved and settled in the Flathead 20 years ago and has raced with Kelley since.
The crew�s front man, Justin Young, began sailing with Kelley 15 years ago at 8 years old when his father crewed with Kelley.
Kelley laughed, remembering an overnight race Young accompanied he and his father on as a child.
�He went below and slept the whole way,� Kelley said.
Young now works above deck for almost every race, staying at bow to lift, lower and move the sails into position.
He described the thrill of sailboat racing as like any kind of race.
�You want to be first. You want to be the best,� he said.
Young and his wife were expecting their first child any day.
�I�ve got to have this crew raise their kids right so I can inherit their kids as crew,� Kelley said.
�It�s a lifestyle,� added Nigel Cini from his seat at the stern, his accent drawing out his words. The Australian native provided much of the comic relief for the night.
AT 8:35 P.M. on the dot, the flags on the sails started to flutter as the breeze began to pick up and the club boat appeared to signal the start of the race.
The joking, smiling nature of the crew became all business as they raised the sails and took their positions.
At one minute to start, the crew tacked, turned a full 180 degrees to cross the starting line just as the horn sounded.
The team took off, their only competition starting off behind and on the wrong side of the Limerick to find good wind and catch up.
The boat cruised at a steady pace of about 5 knots over smooth water and under clear skies.
Sailing conditions were nearly perfect according to Maul, but Kelley said his crew has sailed through brutal weather and injury to finish a race.
On a Tuesday night last summer, his crew was out on the water getting ready to race. There wasn�t a cloud in the sky when lightening appeared over the ridge, forcing officials to cancel the race.
Kelley�s crew was just pulling down the sails when a sudden 45-knot wind slammed into the boat. Then it started to hail.
The crew took cover below deck, but Kelley was still at the helm steering the boat into port when a chunk of hail fell and struck his eye.
He managed to bring the boat in despite his injury. It was not until three days later when he noticed a small blind spot in his right eye that he went to the doctor as was told he had a detached retina.
Later in the same season, Kelley suffered a hit to the head when the boom swung around and knocked him out.
�I laid there bleeding all over the deck, and I just told them to finish the race,� Kelley said. So they did. And they won.
TRAVELING IN a zig-zag pattern to make the best use of their wind, the crew tacked as they approached the first floating orange marker, rounding it in a tight circle. Straightening out, they started downwind toward the second marker, raising their secondary sail, or spinnaker, as their competition began losing ground.
The skill with which Kelley sailed was a product of years of practice, but he said that does not mean bad things don�t happen.
Kelley said his worst race was just two years ago when he sailed too close to an island and struck a rock 6 feet under the water. The collision caused major structural damage. The mistake cost around $42,000 and the rest of the racing season.
�Things happen,� Kelley said. Despite his many injuries and obstacles, He says it�s still worth it.
�The thing about sailboat racing for me is no matter how much stress I�m in and everything that�s going on all week long, as soon as that horn sounds for the race to start, at that point you�ve go to concentrate on that and the rest of the world goes away,� he said.
Another full circle and the crew was on its final lap, the little trimaran not far behind but still straggling.
Jackets, pants and pullovers began to emerge from below the deck as the sun set behind the western ridge and the temperature began to drop.
Kelley kept yelling directions to tighten and trim as the crew moved about the boat, fully focused.
The mountains were fading from pink to purple as the boom swung a final time to catch the remaining wind that would pull the boat across the finish line to the sound of the finishing horn, victorious.
Seconds later, Chavalah Tannel disappeared below deck and emerged with an ice-cold Corona beers for the captain. The race over, the crew passed and clinked their beers, relaxing and laughing as Jimmy Buffet boomed from the speakers once more.
The Limerick docked with another victory under her sails, the crew gathered around the club�s massive fire pit to await their fellow sailors and plan next week�s race.

As you can see from the photos we spent a pleasant little interlude with a village of prairie dogs (I think they are prairie dogs?), we got their photos and they got bread. Seems like a reasonable trade, we guess "feeding the critters" is a common activity at this rest area (summit of Lolo Pass Hwy 12 MT)....click/tap to read the full post
This morning we followed a picturesque, but sometimes primitive, road along the banks of Rock Creek (in the Rock Creek Recreation Area, part of Beaverhead Deer Lodge NF).

I Needed That! Bringing Back the Double Digits.
I've been struck with that glow. That high. You know, the one that you can only get from a run. A longer run for me. Really, the longest I've run in quite some time. Considering that my weekly mileage has probably not been over 20ish miles in awhile, my long run has been a whopping 8 miles, and I skip more days than I run, I'm really really happy that I fit in a 10 mile run today. I needed it. Oh, I NEEDED it. Gosh, I forget how much running serves as therapy for me. It helps me make sense of this life. It gives me a peace like nothing else. When I'm out there running... really running....
talking to myself
setting goals
letting my feet lead the way...
I'm finding myself all over again.
When I take time for these kinds of runs...the kind I had today... I'm giving myself such a gift.
Before my run today, I was just feeling BLAH. I was angry. Hurt. Frustrated. Missing home. Realizing how much of a sacrifice it can be to have your partner in the heart of marathon training...especially when you're a stay at home mom and long runs come on the weekend. And I was SICK to DEATH of the constant and supposedly rare for here RAIN that comes
I mean, I wanted to get away from Portland for lots of reasons but one of the biggest reasons was because of the rain. The rain. The Rain. And more rain. But funny, Portland is getting one of the most amazing summers it has had in quite some time. Sunshine. Blue Skies. Butterflies. And I brought all the rain here to Asheville. It's all downstairs in my flooded basement. Ha! Ah, Life, you've got a sense of humor, haven't you?
I know,
I know,
The Grass isn't always GREENER.
The rain will follow you if you run from it. Think Metaphor.
But really, it isn't just the rain.
It's lots of things.
It's being the end of summer. Those last few weeks where mothers everywhere are throwing their hands up. We forget what time of year it is. We forget that routine and structure are just around the corner and our lives are about to get so much easier. It usually takes me a few days of feeling like I'm going crazy and I need to get my career back before I realize where I'm at in my year. It takes a few days of dusting off my Masters degree and wondering how I got to this point where I'm wearing a robe at 10:30 while cleaning up messes and listening to three different kids ask me a question as the same. exact. time. There has to be a name for this. Moms? Let's think of a name for this end of summer madness. This clustery, non-structured, pulling our hair out string of days where we swear we are alone in our madness. Where we wish we would have signed them up for more summer camps. That time where we would give anything to have a remote control to just shut all three kids off for just 20 stinking minutes. Just 20 minutes of silence. 20 minutes of just listening to nothing. 20 minutes of shutting off the
Where we don't have to say "WHAT?!" every 3 seconds.
Ah, but yes, yes, we WILL miss this someday so suck it up Moms. Suck it up. Right? This time will go way too fast and then I'll wish I heard the Mom Chorus again. I'm sure of it. But it doesn't change my crazy feelings
However, my run sure did change things. It just makes it all seem a little bit more enjoyable. And to think I wasn't even going to run today. So glad I did.
10 miles of just letting it all out. Just enough time for the rain to stop, the sun to come out, and for me to find a semi-flat area to run in Asheville (VERY RARE). First mile a very easy 8:50 and last mile 7:30 with finishing at a 7:04 pace. Nothing spectacular. Nothing fancy or fast. But DARN it felt good to just run with my heart. To just run. Not because it was in a plan or because I felt like I needed to fit in a run. But just to RUN! And believe in myself again.
Amazing how this run has just made everything else so much easier. It's like looking through a completely different set of "life spectacles". And you know, I'm determined to keep this feeling going. I've spent too long without running regularly. At least the longer runs. I need my long runs back. They are the times in my life where I reconnect with myself the most. They make me happy. They are my therapy (and I believe we all benefit from therapy). They make me smile with my whole SELF. My WHOLE SOUL. And when we smile with our soul, we put out a really powerful energy into this crazy wonderful universe that will come back to us in a powerful way.
I want this.

Sounds like a beautiful, perfect run. I love the idea of "life spectacles"! Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
Awe, great post. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad that you were able to run today and that it was a run just to run!!! Best kind of run ever!!!ReplyDelete
When you talked about dusting off your Master's degree, all I could do was smile. I remember those days of non-stop questions, talking and taking care of kids - there were so many times that I had to remind myself that I had lots of education (a Master's + many hours toward a 2nd Master's) and could surely handle the day-to-day stuff. But, it was hard!!! Now, I'm fixing to send my babies to high school and middle school on Tuesday and dealing with a whole new set of questions in my life!

Why does it seem so hard to take time for ourselves? I'm glad you went for a run. My runs usually involve a jogging stroller--which is awesome in its own way but not the same as a solo run--so last night I went for an impromptu walk (okay, it was after a disagreement with the husband...walking was better than yelling). It was the first thing in a long string of days I had done *just for me.* Not because I had to or thought I should or because it was for someone else, but only for me. And it was perfect. Do these things more often, if possible.ReplyDelete
Cheers to you, mama, as you sail through the last days of summer on sometimes choppy waters! I'm in another, similar boat waving to you.
Yay for a great run and much needed it sounds like! I know what you mean with the constant mom, mom, mom, aack! Funny to think someday we will miss them being so little.ReplyDelete
You summed up so well how one run can completely turn your day around. So glad you got out to clear your head and feel better! And I hear you- I need those moments of quiet, too. We also just moved so we're going through a new transition which has meant a few extra meltdowns for my 3yo and requires lots of extra patience that I have to dig down deep to find!ReplyDelete
Glad you are back to your running self!ReplyDelete
And this is very rare for the South to have this much rain. We are getting hit almost every day with rain here in Texas. This happened three or four years ago.

Eventful Summer
THIS JUNE WE organised and hosted two events at the Architecture Film Festival London. Our 'Trailer' party provided guests with a script upon entering Oxo Tower, inviting them to follow a trail of clues, while exploring the building and the scenes described in the script. An immersive film experience doubling as a scavenger hunt, guests will made their way through a series of spaces and screenings culminating at the top floor's event space. Here, the industrial warehouse space—with its exposed brick, concrete and steel bones—turned into a colourful dance party, true to LOBBY fashion.
Guests arrived at Bargehouse late afternoon to make their way inside to see the films.
A list of clues was provided to guide the guests throughout the building's four floors:
"It's a gloomy, chilly summer day. Add that onto the whirlwind election ordeal, and a drink is needed, really. As you follow the music, you find your way up to a bulky bar made out of wooden planks. It's here you wanna be."
"Not too far from the Peroni, find a space that takes you into another dimension."
"If you're feeling a little tired, there's a room for you to unwind and relax in. Feel free to take your beer and rest on some puffy red cushions."
"If you've never been to South America, you'll like the second floor. There you'll see a really long South American country located inside a very, very small room."
"Staying on that same floor, find the wooden staircase that ironically lead nowhere."
"Time to go. Venture into the darkest room in the building and get glimpses of Berlin, Singapore, Tokyo, London, New York and Leicester, as shown by students at the Bartlett."
"Wandering into Room 3, in the spirit of the election, take a selfie in front of projection of Babylon proportions."
"Find Room 2 and take a look at a film that celebrates Koolhaas's latest obsession."
"With the music on blast, strike your best pose and bask in the bright light as your portrait is taken."
"In front of a window looking towards the London Eye you'll have to watch your step, be careful not to step on us."
Part of the Festival's four main film screenings, we screened Concrete Love at the Insitute of Contemporary Arts. On a bright, beautiful day guests arrived to grab a drink, watch the film and meet the director. The film follows the life of Gottfried Böhm, widely regarded as Germany's preeminent architect and its first Pritzker Laureate.
LOBBY Editors James Taylor-Foster and Gregorio Astengo, with Editor-in-Chief and Creative Director Regner Ramos.
Director Maurizius Staerkle-Drux joined us from Zurich.
"Creating such an intimate view meant building a relationship with him and, as with any relationship, you fight for it. You have to try and understand where the boundaries are, how far you can go. I desperately didn't want to push it to the point at which he might no longer be willing to be so open with me."
A Q&A session between LOBBY Editor James Taylor-Foster and Marizius took place at the end of the film, giving insight to what it was like getting close to the Böhm family.

The Turnpike Troubadours to Release New Album "A Long Way From Your Heart"
Is it October 20th yet?
How 'bout now?
Sorry for the impatience, but that's the day one of the most badass independent country bands in existence will release their highly-anticipated fourth album A Long Way From Your Heart via Bossier City Records and Thirty Tigers. Songwriters Evan Felker and RC Edwards, along with Turnpike members Kyle Nix (fiddle), Ryan Engleman (guitar), Gabe Pearson (drums) and Hank Early (pedal steel), have been hitting the studio hard and heavy in 2017, and are now ready to share their latest collection of songs with the world.
The new album marks one of the quickest turnaround times for the band between releases. Previously the band has made fans wait for what seems like an excruciatingly long time between albums due to the infectiousness and earnestness of the Oklahoma-based band's music. Turnpike released their last self-titled album in September of 2015. It also marks the first time pedal steel player Hank Early will be part of the bad as a full time member.
A Long Way From Your Heart is said to be filled with "Vivid character sketches and blue-collar narratives, [while] Evan Felker continues to solidify his place as one of the finest songwriters to come out of the dustbowl in recent years. The theme running through 'A Long Way From Your Heart' is resilience during difficult circumstances, as in album opener, 'The Housefire.' The subjects in Felker's songs are composite characters based on real people. Some tracks feel deeply personal, such as the poignant but upbeat 'Pay No Rent' or country/folk ditty 'Oklahoma Stars.' Other observational songs like 'Unrung' and the raucous rocker "The Winding Stair Mountain Blues" are proof that Felker's penchant for great storytelling in the tradition of his musical forbearers has become masterful."
Keep your eyes peeled for pre-order links in the coming weeks.
1. "The Housefire"
2. "Something to Hold on To"
3. "The Winding Stair Mountain Blues"
4. "Unrung"
5. "A Tornado Warning"
6. "Pay No Rent"
7. "The Hard Way"
8. "Old Time Feeling (Like Before)"
9. "Pipe Bomb Dream"
10. "Oklahoma Stars"
11. "Sunday Morning Paper"

Classic Live Steam of Yesteryear
Our History: 1972-1980
Joe Friend (Lester Friend's son) took over "Yankee Shop" from Lester about 1950 and operated it as "Friends Steam Models" in the 1950s and 60s until about 1972, at which time poor health was beginning to take its toll on Joe. In 1972, he sold the business to a new owner (not a member of the Friend Family) who operated it as
"Friends Models"
in Groveland MA throughout the 1970s.
Its ads can be seen in back-issues of
Live Steam Magazine
of the era.
From the beginning,
Friends Models
was chronically.....in fact
......short on cash. Friends Models never sold enough castings to stay in business.
Only the owner's love for the hobby and the trains, and his hope that "business would get better next year", is what made the business last as long as it did.
But throughout the 1970s, "tomorrow" came and went, as did "next year". It never got better. So by 1979-1980, it was over.
Friends Models
ceased operations and canceled its advertising about 1979. The designs of the "Yankee Shop", of Lester Friend and Laverne Langworthy, were off the market for the 1st time since 1938.
Joe Friend, who had not been involved with "Friends Models" since 1972, passed away in 1989.

Here at LPC, we truly believe:
Whoever you are, there's a place for you here. We are Republican and Democrat. Single parents, blended families, parents of transgendered children. High School graduates and astrophysicists. New to the country or life-long residents. All races and nationalities.
But mostly, we are:
Worries and believers, doubters and skeptics and faithful, All longing for a deeper spiritual life, in Christ. Indeed, whoever you are, there's a place for you here. And here's a snapshot of our congregation: We had over a dozen children & babies in worship last Sunday. We were 30% multi-cultural, 70% white last Sunday. We had several first-time visitors, including a man from Jamaica (Patrick), and a young family - Nellie & Raymond, with a little baby, Blake. This past Saturday, we had a dozen people help with the music and the refreshments for Mickie's memorial service. Because of last Sunday's communion offering, we have more than $450 to give to Bienvenu Kulungu's work providing health centers in the DRC. We are about to welcome a new resident into our transitional shelter. Two Sundays ago, a man visited for the first time, then dropped off well over $100 of groceries in the week for us to give to LARS. Mary (who took vacation time to chaperone our Senior High Youth on a decidedly less than inspiring mission trip - a true sign of service) commented on how impressive our youth are - She said she always knew LPC youth were special, but when she saw them with their peers, she was blown away by their faith & maturity & willingness to serve.We may not be the biggest, flashiest, richest, most mission-driven, most advocacy and social justice committed, most entertaining. But at the end of the day, I don't believe those are God's criteria for the living Body of Christ. May we continue to "bloom where we are planted," with all the resources and gifts we've been given, that we may share the love of Christ with a world in need, in all the ways LPC is uniquely qualified to do so.

Raising Generous Hearted Kids
Kindness and Compassion: Generous-Hearted Kids
Saying that parenting is a tough job is an understatement. We have to provide physically and emotionally for our children, teach them right from wrong, and guide them to be productive citizens. Part of being a productive citizen includes getting along well with others, which includes being kind and generous. Those skills go a long way towards helping your child be successful in other endeavors.
Let's take a look at some of the BEST ways we know to encourage these behaviors of altruism.
1. Model it. The best way to raise kind and generous children is to model selflessness. Be willing to serve others and do so both when and where your children will see you. Shovel snow for an elderly neighbor, serve meals at a homeless shelter, or deliver meals to the elderly or housebound. Encourage your children to join you as you reach out to others.
2. Make a game of it. Encourage your little ones to take turns by giving them something. When they give it back to you, praise them or clap your hands to display your approval. Say, "That's so kind of you to share! Thank you!" This is reinforced by their desire to please you and will prepare them to learn to share.
3. Feelings matter. Besides teaching your child to share, you also want them to learn to understand another's feelings. You want your children to pay attention to others when they're being spoken to, so your best choice is to stop what you're doing and pay attention to them. Since children are little copycats, they're likely to duplicate what they're shown. Remember the poem,"Children Learn What They Live", modeling how you want your child to act is the best way to teach them empathy.
4. Generosity is contagious. Let your children see your generosity. Let them see you write out a check to a local charity. Encourage them to let go of some toys they no longer play with or clothing they no longer wear. This will be easier for them when they get new things. Allow them to take the items they're giving away to a local women's shelter or children's charity.
5. Encourage gratitude. Teach your child to acknowledge gifts they receive. Rather than simply telling someone thank you, help them write thank you notes for each gift. This may be difficult for very small children, but it should be easy for older children who can write. Not only will this activity teach your children to be considerate - it can also help their handwriting skills.
6. Grow kind hearts. Teaching children (even young children) about kindness is something we can do intentionally and over time. When we make it fun and activity-based, the learning takes hold even quicker! Incorporate social skill building into your day at home, in the classroom or in your childcare setting! See our Social Skill Heart Bundle (below) for kindness and compassion for more details.
Thinking of ways of teaching kids how to be generous can be a challenge, but one that's well worth it. The rewarding feeling you get when you see them demonstrate kindness, generosity and altruism.

Like anything else, plastic surgery can be affected by a down economy. As NPR puts it, "People pay out of their own pocket for this sort of medical care. So when times get tough, cosmetic procedures tend to decline. Now, they're picking up." Picking up is right! According to data just released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), cosmetic procedures are seeing a full 5% rise overall. Incredibly, there were 13,828,726 cosmetic procedures performed in 2011 alone. A growing trend in the world of plastic surgery? Non-surgical treatment. Less-invasive procedures—e.g., Botox, Microderm, etc.—saw a remarkable 6% increase in just one year.
Of course, for patients seeking more dramatic or more permanent cosmetic solutions, surgery is often the only option—and it's up too. "It's the second year in a row that cosmetic operations increased by 2 percent," reports NPR, "Breast augmentation is still No. 1." So, why is breast surgery still on top? Read on to find out.

I don't have scoliosis but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a Dr in Los angeles that is a specialist with lordosis.
My spine/back is curving inward and it's so uncomfortable. My chest cavity feels pushed out and my ribcage feels like it is in a different place than it should be.
there is very little pain and im not sure what a doctor could do but i'd like to speak with a specialist that can at least tell me why this has happened to my body and if there is anything i can do.
This all happened in my late 20's. I'm 34 now.

Looking around
Step 2. Look around
Just brainstorming, you will run out of ideas. Let's try another method: Look around for information sources which can provide you with new keywords. You can have a look in the environment your business is active in, such as websites and blogs about topics related to your business and industry segment. Have a look on your competitor websites. And, this might be surprising, have also a look into material you can collect from your own business.
- Profession Fora, Blogs, websites: Have a look at web locations writing about topics related to your business. You might get additional ideas. What are they writing about related to your domains ?
- Social Media – What's the buzz ? You could follow som "guru's" in your professional domain
- Site structure: It's always interesting to look to competitor websites. How did they structure their products ? (e.g. mixed navigation model ?) The navigation structure will contain keywords.
- Interesting ideas and content ?
- E-Mails – Interactions with your business: your business probably has a mailserver with mail archive. The mail interaction customer have with you might bring keywords and topics you hadn't thought of.
- Conversion data, site statistics, log files internal search engine: If your business has already a website, you might have access to analytics data telling you how people did find your current website. Your website might also have a "search field" on its home page. What did people type in there ?

While 2012 still holds the record for most parts of the country, in some areas such as Nevada, Utah, Colorado and parts of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, 2017 is even earlier than 2012.
Accumulated Growing Degree Days (AGDD)—see chart above—are also ahead. NPN calculated how the accumulated heat for March 19th stacks up to the long-term average (1981-2010) for that day for selected cities across the country (using a 32F base). Check the chart from NPN to see if a city near you is behind or ahead of the long-term average in 2017.

We love it when our customers send in photos of their FLOTE in use.
Videk Kinra from Chicago was kind enough to send in photos of his new practice's reception area where he's using various FLOTE models.
Our FLOTE tablet stands are an elegant and secure way to enable your guests, clients and customers to enjoy tablets when registering and/or waiting.
When using tablets in public areas, there are several apps out there that can put tablets into what is referred to as a "kiosk" mode. This enables you to select certain apps to be accessible by guests.
Examples of kiosk-type uses can include apps for registration, educational and promotional materials, or access to certain videos or websites.
To learn more about using FLOTE at your business, please visit our Enterprise area on our website and turn "wait" time into useful time for your guests, clients and customers.

Survey of the Mountain State
West Virginia is in the east-central part of the United States. It is roughly oval in shape, with two panhandles: one extends northward between Pennsylvania on the east and Ohio on the west, and the other extends eastward between Maryland on the north and Virginia on the south. Between the two panhandles, the northern part of West Virginia extends along both sides of the square corner of southwestern Pennsylvania.

I had predicted 4 teeth by Christmas, and I was right. The 4th tooth cut over night, and seemed blissfully painless for him, no sore bum, no screaming, just a few extra cuddles in mummy & daddy's bed over night - I can cope with that and so can George.
What I didn't predict was that he would be pulling himself upright and standing up! All be it while holding on the the furniture (or in this case a large box of mega blocks), he's 8 months old and fabulous! He seems to be largely bypassing crawling, he gives it a go but he's not really that bothered if he can get to what or who he wants some other way. He's also managing to get from his tummy to sitting up, which he couldn't do a couple of weeks ages when the health visitor came to see him. All this happened TODAY!
Soooo grown up already, and his first Christmas just hours away too.
My boys are all getting an early gift tomorrow too - naughty on our part I know but there is method in the madness! Jack's getting his 3DS, and Tom his LeapPad 2, so that they have something new and exciting to do and aren't driving me batty tomorrow while I sort stuff out. Mark is at work until 2pm and I'll have to entertain them AND pack the car, sort the house, etc etc etc. if they are busy with new technology then I might get left to it for a while. Georgie is getting his Bumbo, so at least I can sit him still for a while if I need to! Like when I'm packing the car for instance!
Well.... Hubby is still doing some wrapping and I have some urgent laundry that needs attending to before lunchtime tomorrow, so I shall be off. I'll try to post a bit more often, and as much as I can over Christmas. I have my present to me already... A lovely iPad (which I am blogging from now) so I shouldn't have any excuses for not keeping this thing up to date in 2013!
