Whatever it is you need inspiration for, Pinterest is an awesome place to look. From creative lunch ideas to a thousand and one ways to use a mason jar, you'll find it on Pinterest. So, it goes without saying that if you're looking for creative, unique, advanced, or beginner photography tips and ideas, Pinterest is a great place to go.
Exposure Guide Photography Tips
This Pinterest account's description sums it up well, "Exposure Guide is a great resource for photographers of all skill levels. Easy to understand tips and digital photography techniques are offered in many subjects from portraits to sports photography." There are currently 19 boards you can follow – all of which are photography-related – including a series of "top 10" boards that provide followers with a set of excellent tips, camera apps, image editing software, and more.
I had the honour of interviewing Trey Ratcliff last year. This extremely talented travel photographer has some mad post-processing skills and creates the most amazing HDR photos you'll ever see. His Pinterest account has a massive following of over 4.1 million, and for good reason; Trey currently has 40 boards you can follow which offer a huge dose of inspiration. His images take you around the world, from China, to Iceland, to England, Korea, Hawaii …
Digital Photography School's Pinterest account has an impressive 115 boards you can follow, all of which are photography-related. Just to name a few of the boards which you can learn from:
- Exposure
- DSLR Basics
- Lighting Gear
- iPhoneography
- Posing Basics
- Weddings
- Boudoir
- Macro
- Pets
- Post Processing
DP School has it all. Seriously, whatever it is you're looking for, I'd be surprised if you couldn't find it here.
I actually came across this Pinterest user while doing my research for this roundup. Photo Josh currently has 21 boards and a healthy 9,418 followers. His pins are on everything from essential photography accessories to creative photography ideas. Definitely worth the follow.
Thanks to Photo Josh and his article entitled Top 20 Photography Pinterest Boards, I discovered photographer/author Klaus Herrmann. His Pinterest account currently has 16 boards, several of which are about HRD photography and colour-themed boards. He also has an open board called Best of Pinterest Photographers where anyone can join the board to pin their own best photos.
What? You didn't think I would write about photography-related Pinterest accounts without a little shameless promotion, did you? The Posterjack.ca Pinterest account currently has 24 boards, offering an abundance of inspiration and photo ideas. Better still, following this account will let you in on some great photo contests Posterjack runs, like the popular 31 Day Photo Challenge where users can submit themed photos daily to be entered to win gift certificates for Posterjack.ca. Awesome!
Who do you follow?
Do you use Pinterest? If so, which photographers do you follow? Leave a comment to let us know. And, by all means, feel free to give yourself a plug if you have photography-related Pinterest boards, I'd love to check them out!

Last December 3rd my husband and I were in Halifax for a gala dinner and evening at the Delta Halifax. I had brought my best dress for the occasion, a brown sleeveless shift that would be appropriate. With brown pumps to match and a shawl that sort of went with it all, I wouldn't be the belle of the ball, but it would do.
At 5:50 PM we were ready to go to the Bluenose Room on the 8th floor for cocktails. Cocktails were from 6 to 7, and then, THE MEAL. Just before leaving our room, I happened to glance in the mirror. Big mistake.
"Oh no! My roots are showing."
"Yes they are", my husband replied.
"Shut up!"
"And my purple bra doesn't really go with this brown dress. You can see it!"
"Hmmm…you'll have to make sure you keep your arms down"
"Shut up!"
"And really, this dress is too big. I've lost weight since I last wore it."
"Yeah, it really is loose on you."
"Gee, thanks."
"And my feet hurt already in these shoes."
"Well put on your black ones, even if they don't go with your dress."
"You're really not helping."
And that's when I started lamenting the fact that I didn't buy the beautiful dress I had tried on that afternoon at an upscale dress shop down by the waterfront. I had stopped in to see the specials while power walking. It fit perfectly, had sleeves, it went with my black shoes, and it was on sale. My husband asked me if I wanted to go get it.
So we raced through Halifax's suppertime rush hour traffic, dodging buses, taxis and other peons that were in our way. I think I left my stomach somewhere back on Bishop Street. Dave was a man with a mission. He told me that the store might not still be open, but we would do our utmost best to get there on time.
At 6:01 PM we arrived. Dave let me out in the middle of the street and went to park the car. With dismay, I looked in the window of the shop, and it was all darkness.
But wait – I could see through the window the girls just locking up and taking a big bag of garbage. I furiously knocked on the window and as Dave came up behind me, we ran around to the door where the girls were. Out of breath, I asked them if I could 'just get something', as I noticed that they had closed at 5:30. Well, they said, if you just want to get it, ok. That's when I told them I had to try it on for my hubby. So two of them volunteered to stay behind and oblige me.
They turned on the lights and ushered me into the dressing room. Seconds later out came I, arms outstretched, looking for approval. Great! Sexy! Beautiful! So while one lady took payment for the dress, the other cut the tags off.
At 6:20 Dave and I walked demurely into the Bluenose Room for cocktails, he in a suit and moi wearing my newest acquisition. Honestly I got more compliments that evening than I ever did on any other outfit. More than on my wedding day, if you can imagine.
Only in Halifax!
Thank you SO much to those two lovely ladies at Suit Yourself who, seeing my desperation and disappointment on December 3rd, took the time to cater to me when they were already way past closing time.

Puppy Love
#4 in Explore! October 2, 2010. Thanks to all who have viewed and commented. Ziggy loves the attention!
Quacker and Ziggy sharing a tender moment during their play time. Quack and Quacker were raised in a trailer park, so they know how to stand up for themselves pretty well.
The response to this photo has been phenomenal.
I knew I had to capture the action when Ziggy first started playing with Quack and Quacker. My wife felt like this photo was special from the start.
Thanks for the overwhelming response.

Betty's Adoption:
It was inevitable. Betty's foster family, Jimmy & Mara Burns, who were with her every step of the way, just couldn't let her go. She had been through so much…the blindness, the surgery, the regress back to blindness. They fell in love with her and to her benefit, she will be living with them forever now! Congratulations Betty and The Burns family of Delanson, NY!!
Betty's Story:
This sweet soul was found lost and wandering, shivering, crying for help. You see, she is blind and was either dumped by her owner or she wandered off. The shelter picked her up and hoped her owner would come looking for her but nobody did. She is a sweet, happy go lucky girl, who was a staff favorite. Her personality won them over. When space became an issue and her time had run out, they reached out to us for help. The last thing they wanted was for her to be euthanized. She deserved a chance. We took her with open arms, thanks to our willing and experienced foster who adopted a blind beagle from us in years prior. The vet at the shelter examined her and he feels that her blindness is caused by cataracts. This may be correctable so we need to get her to a specialist. They do have cataract surgery for dogs who are the right candidates.
[info] We have now raised the funds necessary for Betty to have her eye surgery! She is scheduled for March 13 at Cornell University vet hospital! Thank you to all of her supporters. [/info]

Bob Odenkirk says Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul may be part sequel, part prequel
Many of us are still suffering from Jesse Pinkman level withdrawal from the absence of Breaking Bad in our lives, but there's a silver lining with the spinoff show, Better Call Saul, which will star the famed attorney, Saul Goodman, as played by Bob Odenkirk. The actor recently spoke to IGN about the show and addressed a few things, including the possibility of it being part prequel, part sequel (to the events of Breaking Bad), the tone, and the dangers of Breaking Bad cameos.
On the possibility of the show being a prequel and sequel:
Well, Ive talked to Vince (Gilligan) and Peter (Gould), who are writing and creating the series, about this and Ive said that a lot of people do want to see what happens to next to Saul. So, I dont know what theyre going to do. I know theyve talked about prequel, but theyve also talked to me about sequel, and theyve also talked to me about a mix of prequel and sequel.
On the question of the show being more comedy than drama:
I dont think thats what its going to be. Its going to be 70% drama and 30% comedy.
On the dangers of having too much of a connection to Breaking Bad:
Oh my God, I told Peter and Vince, right away I said, Look man, let us make this fresh for everyone. So that right away, in the first five minutes, every viewer goes, Oh, this isnt Breaking Bad, this is its own thing. And I think they feel the same exact way. There might be a cameo here or there, but I dont know. Were going to do a new show.
I know some folks are against a spinoff of Breaking Bad, most notably because it could mean a show that tries to ape the original, but I have confidence in Gilligan and Odenkirk to make Better Call Saul into something unique. Sure, there's always the possibility that it could fail to launch, but I'm more than willing to give it a go, especially after the home run that was Breaking Bad. I don't need a repeat of that show's success, but a new show from the same collaborators? I'm in.
Better Call Saul is currently in active development.
|Extra Tidbit:
|Would you rather see a Jesse Pinkman spinoff or a Saul Goodman spinoff? (Skylar White spinoff, perhaps?)

As the border progresses it is getting harder to get a full photo of it, I finished another tree this afternoon, which leaves me with one tree left on this border. I'm hoping to make a start on the tree this weekend as well as completing the last block.
I finished this block late yesterday afternoon, can't believe there is just the one block left to make. With Easter coming up soon it will be a good opportunity to finish putting all the blocks together and get a better idea of how they all lok.

Nice "tree"... it takes quite a bit of fabric and I love the variegated green that you have chosen. It reminds me of a cycad.ReplyDelete
I love your block, those feathers fabrics are a treat, great colours, KReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Kim, the feather fabrics are lovely, I'll be able to use them in the borders as well.Delete

Our current health system presents multiple challenges to the effective and efficient care of chronically ill patients. First, the fragmented nature of our system means patients have multiple care providers who do not consistently communicate with each other, and are not individually or collectively responsible for the totality of patients' care. Second, healthcare is centered around care in a doctors' office or hospital, while evidence shows the overwhelming proportion of the care needed by chronically ill patients takes place at home and in the community. Third, our predominant provider payment systems reward high-cost medical interventions over higher-value primary care; they reward volume of care over quality of care. Fourth, the trend toward patients assuming higher burdens of cost sharing (i.e. deductibles and co-pays) in the health insurance market creates disincentives to patient utilization of chronic disease diagnosis and treatment services that contribute to effective disease management and cost control.
The following policy recommendations are designed to reduce costly inefficiencies in delivery of chronic disease care by reducing duplication of services and provision of inappropriate care, and to improve care coordination that leads to better health outcomes:
Establish a public-private National Commission on Chronic Disease Management. The Commission will advise the Secretary of HHS and the appropriate Congressional committees regarding effective strategies to improve coordination and quality of care for the millions of Americans who suffer from chronic conditions. The Commission will identify opportunities for public-private collaboration to improve treatment related to chronic disease, and review and commission health services research to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative approaches to organizing, delivering, and managing evidence-based interventions to support delivery of care that are known to be effective.
Require that within five years, all federallyfunded or supported health programs offer a patient-centered medical home (or similar health care delivery model1) option to every beneficiary.
The "patient-centered medical home" is emerging as a leading model for efficient management and delivery of quality care (particularly to an increasingly chronically ill U.S. population), because it links multiple points of health delivery by utilizing a team approach with the patient at the center. A report by the Commonwealth Fund estimates that encouraging adoption of medical homes in Medicare would save $175 billion over 10 years.
An ideal medical home setting emphasizes primary care, utilizes interoperable electronic records to maximize coordination, and involves the patient in decision making to maximize adherence to care plans. A medical home also emphasizes enhanced care through open scheduling, expanded hours and communication between patients, physicians and staff. Some variations broaden the patient-centered medical home model beyond the physician's office and into the community and the patients' home.
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has designed a program to assess how medical practices are functioning as patient-centered medical homes. The program emphasizes the systematic use of patient-centered, coordinated care management processes. The NCQA standards are aligned with the joint principles of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), which define the key characteristics of the patient-centered medical home. (Principles are listed in Appendix 1).
Patients with chronic conditions require additional care management services to avoid progression of their disease and should be encouraged to participate actively in their own care. Comprehensive disease management programs offered within a medical home environment have demonstrated promise to provide individuals with severe/or multiple chronic health conditions with interventions and support appropriately tailored on the seriousness and severity of the patient's medical condition, patient preferences, and needs. A medical home (or similar health care delivery model) providing care to beneficiaries of federally-funded or supported health programs should assure that patients diagnosed with a chronic disease care can participate in a qualified chronic disease management program.
Align provider and patient incentives to form and join high performance health care delivery organizations and reward compliance with best practice guidelines for prevention and treatment of chronic disease within those organizations.
Provider Incentives:
Fee-for-service reimbursements, which incentivize volume over value of services should be changed to a system of reimbursements that incentivize provisions of sets of services that conform to best-practice guidelines established by professional consensus and based on evidence. To advance this objective, we propose the following provider incentives:
Incentivize formation of medical homes by providing medical homes (and similar health care delivery models) a per-member, per-month bonus for each enrolled beneficiary of a federally-funded or supported health program.
Further incentivize formation of Community Health Teams (CHTs) by providing federal grants, or sharing in per-member, per-month bonuses for supporting provision of physician or medical home primary care to beneficiaries of federally-funded or supported health programs.
A CHT is a team of allied health professionals, including behavioral/mental health specialists, community outreach/ prevention specialists (responsible for linking the patient-centered medical home or primary care practice with communitybased prevention resources), nurse care coordinators (such as nurse practitioners) that provide multidisciplinary care support to primary care practices across a community. Their goal is to provide expertise designed to prevent disease and provide higher quality lower cost health care particularly targeting chronically ill patients. Further information about CHTs can be found in Appendix 2.
Provide bonuses to primary care physicians practicing in medical homes (or similar health care delivery models), who exceed benchmarks for consensus-based quality measures such as a reduction in ER visits, reductions in ambulatory sensitive admissions, reduction in 30-day readmissions, and percentage of patients who receive condition-appropriate medical services such as annual eye exams, HbA1g tests.
Expand Medicare's hospital quality incentive demonstration program to all hospitals.
Even as lessons of current demonstration programs are integrated into design of the health care delivery system, expanding this voluntary program to all hospitals – and rewarding hospitals that consistently provide high-quality care based on consensus-based standards - holds promise for developing and improving a quality-based hospital payment system. It would also provide important incentives for hospitals to improve the quality of care they provide to their patients.
Allow providers to share in the financial savings associated with better care through formation of regional Accountable Care Networks.
In our current health care system, medical providers often operate in silos with no one provider responsible for a patient's medical outcome.
Providers that form regional Accountable Care Networks should be eligible for gain-sharing bonus payments if they 1) reduce the per capita growth in federallyfunded or supported health insurance plan spending in their region, 2) they reduce hospital readmission rates , and 3) show continued improvement in clinical preventive treatments for chronically ill patients (i.e. annual eye exams, HbA1g tests).
Accountable Care Networks – a formal regional grouping of medical providers in which physicians (multispecialty), hospitals, medical homes, CHTs and other care providers are linked together and provide team-based care that includes coordination of transitions between patient care settings – hold promise for helping to promote more accountability improving care quality and controlling wasteful spending. The above-listed incentives encourage members of the Accountable Care Network to coordinate to fulfill this promise.
Patient Incentives:
The patient-centered medical home has demonstrated promise for significantly improving efficient management and delivery of quality care, particularly to an increasingly chronically ill U.S. population. In order to encourage beneficiaries of federally-funded or supported health programs to elect care of this quality, we propose the following patient incentives:
Waive all cost-sharing for all recommended preventive and clinically-recommended chronic disease management services for federally-funded or supported health program beneficiaries who opt to receive care through a patient-centered medical home (or similar health care delivery model).
Discount premiums for beneficiaries of federally-funded or supported health program who are diagnosed with chronic disease and elect to enroll in a qualified medical home chronic disease management program. Continuation of the premium discount would depend on ongoing patient compliance with his/her care plan.
Strengthen the primary care workforce
Transforming chronic disease management in the health care system requires a new emphasis on primary care and depends on the availability of a robust primary care workforce, including physicians, nurses, social workers, care managers, dietitians, pharmacists, occupational therapists, and other allied health professionals. Investments aimed at increasing our primary care workforce are crucial to make care coordination through the medical home and disease management programs a reality. Therefore, we recommend:
Increase payments to primary care providers in federally-funded or supported health programs.
Expand loan forgiveness and tuition assistance programs that encourage potential primary care practitioners to enter the field (e.g. retiring a portion of medical and nursing school debt per year of service as primary care physicians and allied health providers, subsidizing continuing education of nurses to become nurse educators).
A "similar health care delivery model" refers to a small primary care practice that contracts with a Community Health Team or "CHT" for supplemental support needed to qualify, at a minimum, for NCQA classification as a Level I medical home. (See "Community Health Team" defined in Recommendation #3.b of this section.)

FOMC sends US dollar packing, yet a bounce could be in sight
Yesterday's Federal Open Market Committee minutes had a profoundly negative effect upon the US dollar, with the dollar basket breaking below the $96.92 support to create a new low. However, there are signs that we could have a recovery of sorts today, with the creation of a new intraday high.
This short-term bullish sentiment holds unless we break below the 27 July low of $96.52. Ultimately the $96.92 level is going to be crucial, with a possible test as new resistance.
Should we see a break back above $96.92 and $97.32, then it would look bullish again for the medium-term, but for now I am just looking for a short-term bounce and then will see how it responds to key resistance.

Chrysler Vehicles Labeled 2014 Best Buys by Consumers Digest
read more
As a Chrysler dealership we know that our inventory of new Chrysler vehicles is loaded with great vehicles. However, it is good to get your feelings justified by an objective party.
In this case that objective party is Consumers Digest and they recognized the Town & Country minivan and the Chrysler 300 sedan. Both vehicles received praise from the editors at Consumers Digest by being placed on the Best Buys list.
To put this achievement into perspective, for an automaker to have one of their vehicles make the Consumers Digest Best Buy list is a wonderful achievement. Having two vehicles make…

Disclaimer: Totally not mine. Would give anything if they were, but it's not to be...
Author's note: I shall tip my slightly worn paramedic cap to ScoobyWannabe for the inspiration. Please review! Pretty please?
James Wilson barely looked up from his files as he heard the door pop open and the scrape of his best friend's cane as he entered. He wasn't in the mood for this today. Never taking his eyes off the folder, he said, "I'm not hungry, I'm not buying you lunch, and I don't want to do a consult on your breast implant patient!"
House was a little shocked at the forcefulness in Wilson's voice. He didn't think he had done anything wrong this time. Hell, he had just gotten back from the conference on pandemics three days ago. Come to think of it, Wilson had been acting strange ever since. What was wrong with him? "Didn't come to make you buy me lunch. Brought you some though." He tossed a paper-wrapped turkey sandwich with mayo on rye on the overcrowded desk and turned to walk out.
A wave of guilt hit Wilson. There was no reason to take his frustrations out on House, although the older man often took his out on him. He sighed. He was the good guy though, always wore the white hat. Saint Jimmy, House had called him mockingly a few times. "House, wait." The older man froze in the door, and turned around. "Come on back. I'm sorry."
House considered it, then made his way to the empty chair. "Usually when you're pissed, I know what I've done, but this time I'm totally clueless," he admitted.
Wilson shook his head. "You haven't done anything," he said, then felt the need to amend that. "That I know of anyway." He knew his friend would laugh at what he was feeling, but also that since he had started, House would never let him back down. If House wasn't to blame for his bad mood, he wouldn't rest until he knew what was. "I'm just bored."
House looked at Wilson, sure he had heard him wrong. "Bored? What's that mean? The little bald kiddies just not as entertaining as they used to be?"
Wilson bit back an angry growl, knowing he wouldn't ordinarily react that way. It was just the stuff rattling away in his mind that made him feel like this. "No, they're not. Nothing here is. Not my job, not the people, not even your job. I'm bored with this place, but moreover I'm bored with me!"
Confused, House looked at him. "Maybe you should start at the beginning."
Ten minutes later, Wilson had finished giving House the recap of the case he had covered for him in his absence. "Here was this old woman, talking about all this stuff she did, and I just want to do something. I get up in the morning, come here, tell half a dozen people a day that they won't see their next birthday, either go home and watch TV or go home with you get drunk and watch TV, get up, do it all again. I'm thirty-eight years old, and here was this woman about to turn sixty telling me about how she snorted cocaine off a homosexual man's stomach!"
House looked at him for a second. "You want to snort cocaine off a gay guy's stomach?"
"Maybe!" Wilson dropped his head. "I knew you wouldn't understand."
"Then make me understand."
You'll laugh."
"Not out loud."
Wilson smiled. He did need to talk. And maybe their friendship needed this. He held too much back lately. "I'm tired of being me. I'm tired of being the Boy Wonder oncologist who has a smile for everybody and has to do the right thing and has to keep the peace and behave. I'm tired of my hair always being perfectly done and my clothes being ironed and having to smile at everyone when I just want to slap them. I want to have an adventure, a story to tell in five years, something that doesn't involve tumors and radiation. I'm tired of having to live up to everyone's expectations. I'm tired of being the good guy. I don't want to be Saint Jimmy anymore!" He practically shouted the last sentence, winced, and quieted a little. "I don't want to be me right now."
"Who do you want to be?"
Wilson thought for a moment. "You."
House sat silently for a moment, then stood up. "How long 'til you're ready to go?"
He looked at the pile of papers around him. "At least an hour, why?"
"Give me your keys. And don't move from here until I get back."
Wilson felt a quiver in his stomach, but ignored it. "Sure, why not?" He tossed House the keys. What did he have to lose?
He strode into Cuddy's office, and she braced herself for the hurricane. Whenever he seemed this sure of something, it couldn't be good. "What is it, House?"
"Wilson and I need a week off. We'll be back next Monday."
She smiled sweetly. "Sure. Why didn't you say so? Not a chance in Hell. Have a nice day."
She glanced back at the computer screen, trying to pretend that she thought it was over. Of course, she knew it wasn't. House never let anything go this easily. Sure enough, he plopped into the empty chair facing her. His demeanor was the same as always, but his voice surprised her. "I'm serious. Wilson needs a vacation. He's about to completely burn out."
"And you, being so close to the edge yourself, felt the need to drag him back from the abyss?"
House nodded. "He's in trouble. I can help him. You complain that I'm not the kind of friend he deserves, and now I'm trying and you won't let me!"
"What's in this for you, House?" she asked bluntly, giving up hope of getting out of this easily or without a fight.
House swallowed. "I've screwed up. A lot. He's always been there to help me. Now he's facing a midlife crisis, and there is actually something I can do to help him. Usually when he's in trouble, I just make it worse-"
Cuddy straightened slightly. "Therein lies the problem. When you help, things get worse. Like when you tried to 'help' the Vogler situation with the little speech."
House winced, and would have given her the point had it not actually hurt that he had gotten Wilson fired, however indirectly, by failing to swallow his pride. "This is different…"
Cuddy sighed. She knew she wasn't going to win, so she decided to get what she could out of him. "What's it worth to you?"
He quickly hid his grin, and tried to look shocked. "I try to do a good deed, and I have to pay for it?" Off her look, he shrugged. "That's not the question, is it? What's it going to cost me?"
"Four hours extra clinic duty a week for a year."
House frowned. "Two hours for three months."
"Four for six months, or Wilson has his midlife crisis in his office."
"That's pretty low, even for you. Threatening Wilson to keep me in line? You would really hurt him just to punish me?"
"First off, I don't really believe Wilson is in any danger. Second, it's the only thing that works! Last chance!"
House grumbled, then nodded. "Yeah, okay. You're going to Hell, you know that?"
She smiled. "Yeah, well, sometimes I think it would have to be an upgrade."
He limped out of her office. He had a lot of work to do.

This is an old representation of the Ming Dynasty Tomb situated close Beijing. The picture is very much safeguarded at the Guozijian Museum in Beijing situated close to the Confucian sanctuary. There are numerous such antiquated photos, original copies, statues, and other show-stopper that are put away in this gallery, which help individuals having unmistakable fascination in old Chinese society and history, to know all the more about the nation. Guozijian museum has kept a record of all the preserved things of the ancient china in the very well-mannered to keep things always memorable for the coming generation of china. Guozijian museum is great place to gain your knowledge about the ancient china these vacations. The tombs are encompassed by the mountains, assembled in the center plain territory, with a twisting waterway in front. The scene and views are to a great degree excellent. It is the world's tombs with the most rulers .Of the 13 heads tombs, four are opened openly, individually, Changling Tomb, Dingling Tomb, Zhaoling Tomb, Shenlu Tomb. The previous two are most famously gone by vacationers.
Thank you

Meaningful has grown out of the personal contemplation, study and life experience of the author. Starting her search for meaning in her teenage years, Olivia engaged thoughtfully, logically and intuitively in this quest. Life, fate and God took her to study Theology at Oxford, many fortunate opportunities beyond and the birth of 4 children. However in 2012 the wind changed with her husbands brain tumour and surgery rendering him virtually blind, without health, employment and a home. She would say that having a source of meaning outside of oneself is a vital part of surviving and living well through life's challenges.
She believes that each of us has the capacity to discern meaning through an honest searching approach to life and as we search for greater meaning using mind and heart so we will find it and know our lives to be ultimately meaningful.

I was originally just going to add characters to the Decepticon side since they were already painfully outnumbered but I figured a couple more Autobots couldn't hurt. First off, Grindcore's bio on the toy packaging said he loved Heavy Metal music so, being a metal fan myself, I thought he'd be fairly easy to write for. Big Daddy is an homage to a G1 character that lead a small team that was rebellious, but I thought it would be fun to have his character be a stereotypical Pimp. Grindcore honestly has a lot more practical uses in the comic, Big Daddy's speech being a lot more specialized. I've attempted to use them as much as I possibly can over the years but more often than not they've been relegated to background characters. They've gotten some pretty great moments here and there though! I especially like the Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhodes references via Grindcore in comic # 214.
In the three Peanut Galley panels, the first one in comic #213 stands out the most, since it really was one of the major reasons I was introducing more characters at such a high rate. In late 2007 I started making simple profiles for the characters, listing their name, function, first appearance in the comic, intelligence, strength, speed, courage, firepower and a short biography about their appearance in the comic. They turned out to be something that was fairly well received but at this point I had run out of major characters to make profiles for. It wasn't the biggest deal but I enjoyed making them and the readers had asked when I was going to make more. And of course, Hot Shot's comment in that same panel is especially true about a lot of the characters outside of the major tier one characters.

Blinkist x SuD
"Irresistible" (2017) shows how dangerously dependent we've become on the smartphones, tablets, video games and social platforms that we've surrounded ourselves with. Is our attachment to these devices strictly related to the convenience they provide? Or have we actually grown addicted to the psychological rewards they offer? Adam Alter, PhD, teaches psychology at New York University's Stern School of Business. His ideas and research on social psychology have made him a sought-after consultant for a number of businesses, including Google and Microsoft. He's written for such publications as the New York Times and WIRED. His previous book is the bestseller Drunk Tank Pink. In partnership with Blinkist, we feature some key insights of his new book in three quick blinks.
If you've spent any time with babies, you've probably noticed how they love to repeat actions. They'll happily press the same button to switch on the same light or make the same noises over and over again. Babies do this because they enjoy the positive feedback – the look of that pretty light or the sensation of making that strange sound. As adults, we also have a desire for positive feedback, and when we're rewarded for carrying out a simple action, we may start to develop an addiction. This is especially true if we don't know when that simple action will be rewarded.
In the 1970s, psychologist Michael Zeiler conducted an experiment with pigeons. He set up a cage with a button that the pigeons could peck with their beaks to be rewarded with food. But Zeiler made things interesting by changing the regularity of the reward. He found that if the pigeons got a reward every time the button was pressed, they would peck at regular but rather infrequent intervals; but if the reward came only 50 to 70 percent of the time, the birds would peck more frequently and persistently.
Because Zeiler made the reward more unpredictable, the rush of dopamine to the brain became bigger, which is exactly what makes gambling so appealing to people. When we roll the dice and come up with the winning number, that rush of pleasure is especially addictive.
"Like pigeons, we're more driven to seek feedback when it isn't guaranteed."
This same addictive feedback system can be found in social media. The "like" button is a perfect example. The like button dates back to 2008, when Facebook introduced it as a novelty to provide users with a quick and easy way to give friends feedback about their photos or messages. But this feedback is unreliable, so every time we post something we begin feverishly wondering whether it will be liked or not.
This makes every post on social media a gamble with pretty high stakes, since people can interpret getting no likes as a sign that their friends have abandoned them or that their post is subpar. So it's no surprise that just about every social media platform out there, including sites like LinkedIn and YouTube, feature those addictive feedback buttons.
Today, there are over 30,000 offerings on Google Books for those who want to improve their life. Considering the supply of self-help literature, it would seem that there's a great demand for this help, that people genuinely want to have a better life. But it isn't that simple. In truth, humans are addicted to making things difficult for themselves. Even if someone has managed to arrange a pretty cushy life for themselves, it's not uncommon for that person to continue being unhappy.
In 2014, psychologist Timothy D. Wilson and his associates developed an experiment that highlights the human need to seek hardships that we are then forced to overcome. Undergraduate students were asked to sit calmly for 20 minutes and try to have a pleasant experience while avoiding negative thoughts. The twist was that the students were also given a relatively painful electric shock before the clock started, and they were told that they could shock themselves during the experiment if they wanted to. Oddly enough, two-thirds of the male students and one-third of the women decided to shock themselves at least once, while one man shocked himself nearly two hundred times!
For reasons we don't fully understand, it seems to be in our nature to seek out some kind of hardship or challenge to overcome, even when we're given the opportunity to enjoy life and relax. In fact, we try so hard to prevent relaxation that our need for activity and constant achievement has its own name: workaholism.
This is especially apparent in societies that have a strong work culture, like Japan, where it's not uncommon for people to literally work themselves to death. Over the past twenty years, a new Japanese term has emerged: karoshi, which roughly translates to "death from too much work." In 2011, an employee at the computer company Nanya died of heart failure as he was sitting at his desk. He'd put in one too many 19-hour workdays, and his system simply collapsed.
What makes karoshi death particularly strange is that these people are usually rich and successful. They don't need to work as hard as they do. But they're addicted – in this case to the meaning and achievement that work can provide.
If you've ever tried quitting something cold turkey – eating junk food, for instance, or smoking cigarettes – then there's a good chance that you've also experienced a relapse. Our most common reaction to an undesired behavior is to repress or suppress it, but repression often only makes an addiction worse.
We can see this in the behavior of people living in the especially conservative and religious states of the United States, where sexuality and sexual urges are considered taboo. Despite the repressive attitudes, the computer usage data on Google Trends revealed that more people were searching for pornography in these states than anywhere else in the United States during 2015. Relying on willpower alone to change your behavior is a risky proposition; substitution, on the other hand, is a much more reliable method.
Charles Duhigg, the author of The Power of Habit, breaks addiction down into three parts: a cue, a routine and a reward. For mobile technology, the cue is taking out your smartphone; the routine is opening up your social media app and scrolling through your feed; the reward is feeling connected and seeing how many likes your last post got.
With this in mind, in 2014, the Company of Others launched a new device called Realism. Designed to help break smartphone addiction, Realism looks and feels like a smartphone but, instead of a screen, it has a transparent frame that offers a view of the world around you. So the cue is still there – but when you feel the need to grab your device you can reach for Realism, which offers a new routine: looking at the real world around you instead of the virtual world inside your phone.
Like any other addiction, technology addictions can be overcome. There are creative and practical solutions to help break the cycle – but before you can move forward, you have to take the first step and acknowledge that the problem is there. So take a moment, turn off your devices and ask yourself: How irresistible has technology become in your life?

8 First Aid Tips You'll Actually Use
Years ago, when my sister took her turn at trying to add her fingertips to the salad, I sat in the back seat with her on the way to the emergency room. My mother commended me on holding her hand above her heart, to slow the bleeding. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I was trying to keep the blood off my shirt.

What an exhilarating return to the world of envelope art! I'm so delighted by these beachcombing-inspired designs, created from a combination of craft paper picked up in a Labor Day sale, my secret cache of mermaid-themed washi tape, and some sea life stickers with a lot of character.
It's been a while since I decorated a pre-made envelope base rather than making my own, but I enjoyed discovering creative ways to make these envelopes my own! (In case you're wondering, I'll add on the address in the blank triangular space when each is ready to send.) What crafting experiments have you tried lately?

Sit back, kick up your feet and learn a bit more about Virgin America, the airline's founder, their corporate rewards program and a few YFS tips for takeoff to your next business meeting or well deserved vacation.
Virgin America Hits the Mark with Business Travelers
The San Francisco based low-cost airline is the brainchild of self-made billionaire Sir Richard Branson. As the Founder of the Virgin Group, Branson bootstrapped his way from record-shop owner to head of the Virgin Empire (400 companies and counting).
"My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them … from the perspective of wanting to live life to the full, I felt that I had to attempt it." – Sir Richard Branson
Branson is not the typical airline owner. And if you've ever flown on Virgin America you'll notice that it's not your typical airline.
Virgin America planes are equipped with custom-designed leather seats, mood-lit cabins and Gogo Inflight Internet™. According to Condé Nast Traveler's 2010 Business Travel Poll, Virgin America hits mark with small business travelers and was recently voted "Best Business/First Class" for the third consecutive year. Not too shabby.
Corporate Rewards: Focused on the Essentials
What's essential when you choose the best airline for your travel needs? Free luggage check, inflight internet, legroom, price? Whatever the case may be, for business or pleasure, the essentials are important.
Most importantly, traveling to your next business meeting shouldn't break the bank. And while every airline offers its own variation of loyalty program to entice you to become a repeat customer, it's nice to find a hybrid of low-cost essentials with luxurious benefits.
"For me business is not about wearing suits, or keeping stockholders pleased. It's about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials." – Sir Richard Branson
Elevate, Inc., Virgin America's corporate rewards program, gives your small business a little something back for what you spend on travel. Their frequent flyer program includes:
1. Reward travel on any seat, any time, with no blackout dates
2. Reward flights for as few as 2,500 points
3. 5 points per $1 spent on flights (benefiting business travelers)
4. Access to the hottest events, discounts, and exclusive offers
