With a good leadership team, you can be made to feel as though you have received a promotion as well as being given a 100% pay rise, when in actual fact you remain a volunteer.
Volunteering has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love the thrill of meeting new people, discovering their stories and feel privileged to gift my time, even though I sometimes struggle to juggle my week.
I manage a small library of around 2,000 books within the Church I attend. We also have a corner with books that we sell to help purchase new books for our shelves. It has been a dream of mine for many years, that the area could be a Book Shop/Library /Cafe, a place of nurture for anyone who walked through the doors. Now, after years of dreaming, plans are coming together, walls are coming down and the space is being created.
This concept was conceived eleven years ago and during this time I have carried my vision carefully, guarding and growing the dream . Over the coming few months I think it may be like experiencing 'Labor Pains', as all the hard work begins.
It has reminded me that many of us sit on good ideas for a long time before they become a reality. Patience being a difficult virtue for many of us to develop, even though it is a great resource for our personal growth.
There is a verse in the Bible that says, 'Without a vision the people perish'. I have found this to be true in all aspects of life. When you turn your back on something or someone, it feels as though a light is turned out and discouragement rules the day.
My mum use to say. 'Aim for the stars and you may fall short. Aim for the gutter and you will land in it every time.'
Whatever is going on in your life at the moment, hold onto your dreams, maintain your vision, work towards your goal.
No one can accomplish that dream like you can. Continue to nurture it because one day it could be your reality.

I had said nothing
Yet the land was on its top notch
Ready to be stormed
But this time it was quite of a peculiar emotion
And I think it stayed a minute longer
With him levitating
Into the smoke of green and violet clouds.
A little dark, a little misty
While I took a step ahead to walk a few miles
The rains had begun
And I froze
Surrendering myself to his indivisible presence
With a black tear in my eye
Hoping to have him spoken
For once..
From the shaken trees and grey ambiance
The world he had never shared before
Is now there.
After he departed.

And lack of sleep makes me overly philosophical and weird and irrationally upset about things. I was really irritated yesterday when I went to a library that had put "Animal Farm" in the YA section, but not "1984". Like I was angry about that for like an hour.
So anyway, when I read this book I was all gushy and in love with it and it made my week so here's the review to get me back in that happy feeling and maybe spread it to you too. I also bought swiss cake rolls last night, but I'm not sharing those. Let's not get nuts.
I know that title sounds a little like something you'd have to read for a gender studies class where you buy this huge $300, 60 lb book that you don't use once, and then you try to sell back to the campus bookstore and they're like, I'll give you $30 bucks and you run out of the room screaming like attic lady from Jane Eyre.......
Sorry, flashback. This book isn't like that at all.
Jen Hatmaker is awesome. She is funny and smart and sassy and does not have it all together and she makes no qualms about it. She has also written a bunch of books. The first one I read by her was called "7:An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess" which I loved. She takes the 7 areas of her life where there is the most excess (food, clothes....something something) and cuts it down to 7 items for a month. So for one month she only wears the same 7 pieces of clothing (with unlimited underwear and bras because let's not get crazy). She does this experiment after finding out about the kind of conditions her soon to be adopted kids in Ethiopia are living in. She prays about it a lot, gets a lot of funny looks, but she barely cheats at all. Apparently this book has a bible study and it's popular in women's bible classes too. So even if you're not religious the book is interesting because it talks about all the excesses we have that we don't even realize.
So this book, basically talks about how women are glorious and worthy of all good things and how God always works for our good even if we don't know Him or struggle with Him. She also talks about the women in Jesus bloodline who weren't perfect (obviously) but play incredibly important roles.
Here's just a couple of quotes that I'm going to leave here that I hope will inspire you to read the book. I'm having a "it's a really good book but I don't really know the best way to describe it to you to make you want to read it" moment.
-"Before you were a daughter, sister, wife, mother, you were a delight to God, who designed every facet and sent you to earth, a gift to all who would know you" . (I'm sure I'm not always a gift, haha)
-"I have chosen you, and my Son prays for you when you feel condemned" (Romans 8:33-34)
-"You are somebody's answer. You are something's answer. There is a problem out there only your presence can solve. There is a broken and wounded hear to which only you can administer healing. You are not a victim; you are an answer".
In summation: women are awesome, women are not perfect, women in the Bible are super important even if they don't look like "typical" Bible heroes,you personally are awesome and are capable of great things. 4 outta 5 stars!

The words 'Melissa' and 'Exercise' rarely exist together in the same sentence. And if they do, it's usually related to my mantra that 'shopping is exercise'. Over Easter, however, I decided to make a few positive changes in my life and deciding to get into fitness was one of them! Admittedly, this was fuelled by my new obsession with fashionable sportswear which I'm going to be discussing in today's post. The items I've bought are specifically for cardio at the gym and my beloved weekly pilates classes - which I would recommend to anyone, especially if you suffer from joint pains. I personally have found that owning bright, comfy sports clothes encourages me to go to the gym once or twice a week, often as a revision break or de-stress. Luckily two of my flatmates joined at the same time, meaning we can motivate each other and it's less of a chore to go. My favourite shop for fitness wear is H&M which I have been hugely impressed with - quality-wise, price-wise, style-wise. I also recently ordered an outfit from the infamous Fabletics which although delivers its promise of beautifully designed products, was fairly disappointing in ease of exchanges. In addition, I'd advise not to make the mistake of signing up to the VIP membership as I did! Many people have been caught out by the small print in the contract but luckily I cancelled in time and can still enjoy my beautiful £26 outfit! The photos below are some of my recent fitness-related purchases and how I style them.
Yoga mat - Amazon
Leggings - Fabletics
Trainers - Next
Pink sports top - H&M
Mosaic print sports top - Fabletics
Green sports top - H&M
Running belt - Amazon
Running arm band - Amazon
(Below) Blue hoodie - New Look
Summer is the perfect time to get into a new sport or hobby and it's great to see how you improve over the weeks - setting targets is essential. I'm also starting to compile an effective workout playlist which I might share in a future post - yes Taylor Swift does feature.
Are you a fan of fitness fashion? If you have any recommendations for where to buy sports wear or gym kit, please leave a comment

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom of the pan with parchment.
Finely grind the hazelnuts in a food processor until they reach a coarse, sandy consistency.
Either in the microwave or in a double boiler over hot water, melt the chocolate with the oil and butter, stirring together to form a homogenous mixture. Set aside in a warm place.
With a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and salt to soft peaks and set aside. Switch to the paddle attachment and, in a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, sugars, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until
thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and add the
chocolate and butter mixture, then the cocoa powder. Fold in the whipped egg whites until smooth.
Pour into a greased and parchment-lined 9-inch springform pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, just until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

I was talking to someone today, and they commented on getting a flat and not having levers, but luckily someone stopped and gave them a ride back to town.
Then I thought myself, of all the times I've ever been on the side of the road working on my bike and cars passed, I don't think I've ever not had someone ask if I needed assistance. Even the other day when my chain broke on the group ride, someone offered help.
Cyclists bitch all the time about cars, as if they themselves don't drive, but I seldom see them comment about motorists offering a hand or even a ride.

When I got on the train yesterday morning, I sat in the complete wrong place. In my defense it is a place on the train where I will normally sit, but today a couple was sitting next to the spot. They were in love! They were also 45+. So, I am sitting there trying to finish Good Omens and this guy is talking non stop. She really can't say any more than yeah. Then he starts rubbing her upper arm. Anyone that has been on the Green Line will tell you there isn't enough room for that. The dummy is inconsequentially rubbing my arm as well. I look at him with the disgust that only people on the train in Boston can manage to express, but he pays no attention to me.
At this point, I am thinking the guy is a total creeper. I am picking up parts of the one sided conversation and he clearly knows everything and I can't figure out why the girl is letting him rub her arm. The they start making out. It is 7:30am on a Friday morning and the guy has his tongue down her throat, yuck. I could understand if they were teens and had absolutely no control over their hormones. But these people had likely kissed people before and should have the self control to hold off for a more private situation. The obviously were not married, well at least to each other. I get the feeling he was married.
If someone is going to make out beside me on the train. Why can't it be a couple of hot girls in their early twenties. I asked my wife is she wanted to get on the train and make out and she pinched me. . . hard.

Yep, love is lovely, but they should have gotten a room :)

Spring Window
Spring Window is one of the four new stamp sets released by Sparkle N Sprinkle this month.
I stamped the image with Staz-On ink onto watercolor paper and used Distressed Inks (Scattered Straw, Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Seedless Preserves, Milled Lavender, Old Paper, Picked Raspberry, Victorian Velvet, Mowed Lawn, Vintage Photo) and a water brush to color the image.
Lacy Lilac glitter was added to the flowers in the vase, the word "faith" in the sentiment, and the glittery frame. Mauvelous glitter gives the blossoms a bit of sparkle.

Not sure why inanely named this post that, but it almost fits. Released sometime last year or maybe late 07, it Changeling had another winner for Not Not Fun. This music is kind of like what if you drowned and died and when you died your soul was forced to float around in the sea rather than getting to go back above surface, and how would that sort of haunting sound. This is what I study Philosophy to.

No surprise to continuing education
The Chronicle of Higher Education examines undergraduate students. Forty percent are over 24 years old, including 23 percent 30 years or older.
Who Are the Undergraduates?
From teenagers coddled by helicopter parents to underage drinkers mad for Four Loko, popular depictions of undergraduates often paint them as young adults feeling their way through postadolescence. But—while a cadre of undergraduates certainly does leave home at 18 to live on leafy campuses and party hard—many others are commuters, full-time workers, and parents.
Roughly 22 million undergraduates attended college at some point in 2007-8, and the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study from that year provides a snapshot of where students are coming from and how they pursue their educations. More than a third of all undergraduates attend part-time, and most are not affluent. That's reflected in where students go to college—more than twice as many undergraduates attend the University of Phoenix's online campus as go to an Ivy League college.

Well that BBQ came earlier than predicted! It seems to be a regular occurrence,these hot sunny Thursdays in Norwich though I was a bit unsure with the thick smog that was revealed when opening my curtains this morning. However what a day it turned out to be!
A BBQ by the lake with the ENV crew, so so lush.

We decided to take a trip to Cancun before classes began, and it was exactly what we needed. It was nice to get away. Our resort didn't have free WiFi, so I was not on the internet or my phone the entire time, and it was actually refreshing. We also got to experience the bus system in Mexico, and I must say, it kind of scared me. The driver would take off with me just barely on the first step in, and without closing the door behind me! You also had to wish that people were at the bus stop you wanted to get off at, because that's the only way the driver would stop! All in all, it was quite an experience!
While on our flight to Cancun, there was this young boy sitting next to me who really wanted to sit with his brother. Unfortunately, they were separated because of their seat assignments. So, he was a bit bummed, more so because he had nothing to do for the next couple of hours. Since I wasn't using my Nintendo DS, I thought I'd ask him if he wanted to play it:
Me: "I have a Nintendo DS, if you want to play with it?"
The boy: "Umm...let me ask my mom." He turns around to ask his mom who is seating behind him. "Mom, this girl next to me asked me if I wanted to play with her DS?"
The mom: "What did you say?"
The boy: "I said I'd ask you. Is it okay?"
The mom: "Yes, but be careful with it."
The boy spins around, and says, "Yeah, I can play with it."
So, I get it out of my backpack, and tell him, "So, the only cool game I have is Ninja Turtles, is that okay?"
The boy: "Yeah."
I hand it over, and he takes it, starts it up, and in less than 2 minutes, he gives it back to me!!! I was surprised!! Apparently, he rather just twiddle his thumbs, instead of playing my "cool" game! Ha!
It also wouldn't be a beach vacation without Brad getting sunburned:) This time he took his favorite sunblock, Bull Frog, in spray form, and it seems to work only on the areas you spray, no matter if you've tried rubbing it around the area. So, after a day out, his chest and back was full of white polka-dots! I have pics...BUT I can't do that to him! He was calling himself the Dalmatian! Of course, we had to venture out and find a higher SPF sunscreen - we ended up with 50!
Some exciting news while we were away was that, our new niece, Lily, was born on August 17th, and we're so excited about meeting her very soon. We now have seven August birthdays in the family! Good times - it'll just be one big party all month long:)

Hello there!
How has your week been? Mine has been kinda rubbish, but that's how the cookie crumbles I guess sometimes. Less of the negativity...more about polish!
Today I have one of my pound shop purchases, a H.C.M.J no name glitter. Bottles look like an OPI impostor but they had some interesting colours so I thought I'd give them a go. This a a dark red, almost maroon colour glitter suspended in a clear polish base. I started off with two coats of NYC - Battery Park Purple ( a dark purple creme) and used two coats of the H.C.M.J polish over the top.
(In direct sunlight)
In shade
As you can see from the shade pics, there are odd silver bits of glitter in the polish as well. Don't know if that's intentional or not, although it doesn't really bother me much. Drying time was good, although it was a stinker, smelt mostly of chemicals. Still not bad for £1 :-)
Anyone tried this brand?

A few great recipe ideas, all of which I will be trying over the next week or two. Am hosting a small birthday lunch for one of my dearest friends and a big Fathers day family party, so am on the prowl for some great new ideas, here is one! The internet is limitless on both ideas and inspiration.
{Tex-Mex Salad with Creamy Lime Dressing}Butter, for preparing 8 by 8-inch glass pan
1 bag of tortilla strips (original recipe called for cornbread which I replaced with tortilla strips)
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 packet sazon seasoning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup salsa
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 head romaine lettuce, cut into strips
Creamy Lime Dressing, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups grated Monterey jack cheese
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar
OMIT FIRST FOUR INGREDIENTS IF YOU ARE NOT USING CORNBREAD ( I USED TORTILLA CHIPS INSTEAD) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8 by 8-inch glass pan with butter. Stir together the cornbread mix with the egg and milk. Evenly spread into prepared pan and bake on the middle rack for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan to cool completely. Mix together the beans with the sazon and season with salt and pepper. Toss the salsa with the tomatoes. When ready to serve, cut the cornbread into 1/2-inch croutons. Toss the lettuce with 3/4 cups of the dressing. In a clear trifle dish, layer the Tex-Mex Salad beginning with the black beans followed by the Monterey jack cheese, the tomato salsa mixture, the Cheddar, the dressed romaine and top with the cornbread croutons. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.
Creamy Lime Dressing: (I added extra cilantro for more zing)
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup sour cream
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Blend all the ingredients except the olive oil until smooth. While machine is running, slowly drizzle in the oil until incorporated. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
A new blog I am obsessed with. Yes, need that like I need another blue and white ginger jar, but I simply cannot help myself. Just as I am trying to figure out ways to spend less time on the computer, I find a site like this that keeps me glued with every click, take a look at some of the gorgeous inspirations found at The Party Dress (love the name too)! I click on the parties tab and just can't stop looking, tons of awesome inspiration over there!
Awesome! They might look like your average boy band but they sing like seasoned operatic superstars!! Amazing voices, such poise and now taking the world by storm. Have you heard Il Volo? Not to mention they are totally adorable. Sorry to any of you who might be "Biebs fans" but they put him to shame.......AND they wear suits not pants down to his knees, how refreshing!
A cool beverage tub. Just ordered this, I love it because its quite a bit bigger than others I found. I also show you a much less expensive alternative (much smaller too but great looking nonetheless)
This is the one I ordered, love it for summer entertaining.....
click here to order it from Plow and Home
And here is another from World Imports, much smaller but a great deal at 39.99!
Click here to visit this one.....
Birthday lunch that I gave. And finally a few pics (few being a relative word) of the little bday luncheon I threw yesterday...originally was going to have it outside but it was just too hot and muggy so we had my peach sangria and appetizers (crostinis with fresh mozzarella,basil and tomato and shrimp cocktail) outside in the loggia then moved inside for lunch.
For lunch I made the above tex mex salad and it was a HUGE hit, my usual the Asian Chicken salad, the fresh corn/tomato/cucumber salad in endive leaves and mini pitas filled with olive tapendade, hummus and sprinkled with feta...super tasty. Everyone loved the menu and we all ate liberally without an iota of guilt! The peach sangria and Pellegrino flowed freely. We had fruit and a yummy yogurt cake for dessert so though we ate well, it was nice to know nothing was crazy fattening......
Everything ready for the Chinese chicken salad
Put together a last minute blue and white table....when in doubt its always a safe bet!
And of course the gorgeous napkin rings!! I put a different one at each persons place setting.....
White hydrangeas... a regular favorite of mine (you didn't' know its en vogue to have a water cooler in the background? haha)
The chargers are as beautiful without a plate as they are with!
My crostinis getting assembled.....they are lucky they even made it to the bread (a definite weakness of mine)
Endive leaves at the ready!
This is the messy stage...I am like a mad scientist but soon everything gets cleaned up and looks sparkling again!
Yum...peach sangria, added fresh blackberries which gave it a darker color
And always several sprigs of mint leaves
Love my new glasses.....
Ahhhh...it was mighty nice to move into the cool air conditioned indoors!
Shrimp cocktail compote
The tex mex salad getting assembled in layers.....
Ready to serve!
Pretty and so fresh and healthy!
All that needed to be added was the tortilla strips...this was as pretty as it was delicious.
And loved these, and they are so cute (and really really tasty)!
Ready to eat!
Yogurt cake and fruit....don't you just love guilt free desserts!!
Isn't my new horsebit tray a beauty? (from my online shop)
She loved her gift, she had admired this set from my online shop and was so happy to get it (plus the plastic glasses and pitcher)
Put it in a huge silver nickel tub that doubles as a beverage holder.....
So there you have it! That wraps up what's new over here. Do hope you have a fabulous weekend. Tomorrow its going to be another scorcher, I so hope this finds you doing well and that you enjoy a wonderful and relaxing weekend. Thank you as always for stopping in to see what's new in my corner of the world. Speak to you next week!

In chapter 13 of Roosevelt's autobiography, he mentions — in an offhand sort of way — that
…the greatest privilege and greatest duty for any man is to be happily married, and that no other form of success or service, for either man or woman, can be wisely accepted as a substitute alternative.
TR was married during the period of his life he was writing about, a fact he utterly fails to mention. This is sort of bizarre, right? After college he basically did two things: he got married and started up in politics. In that chapter, he talks a ton about his political life — in fairly gruesomely boring detail — but doesn't mention his wife at all.
For example, he talks about how his entrance into politics came about as a result of his friendship with a forgotten NY state politician named Joe Murray:
Among these lesser captains I soon struck up a friendship with Joe Murray, a friendship which is as strong now as it was thirty-three years ago…When I knew him he was already making his way up; one of the proofs and evidences of which was that he owned a first-class racing trotter — "Alice Lane" — behind which he gave me more than one spin.
During this first winter I grew to like Joe and his particular cronies…Next fall, as the elections drew near, Joe thought he would like to make a drive at Jake Hess, and after considerable planning decided that his best chance lay in the fight for the nomination to the Assembly, the lower house of the. Legislature. He picked me as the candidate with whom he would be most likely to win; and win he did. It was not my fight, it was Joe's; and it was to him that I owe my entry into politics. I had at that time neither the reputation nor the ability to have won the nomination for myself, and indeed never would have thought of trying for it.
Now, I've bolded two lines there. That's because the second is the explicit story, the story of how he entered politics. Basically, Joe Murray saw Roosevelt as a bright young boy and gave him his shot and the rest is history, etc. But the first is a name which doesn't appear anywhere else in the entire book, the name "Alice," which was the name of his first wife and also the name of their daughter, neither of whom he mentions. Alice Roosevelt died on Valentine's Day, 1883, after complications from the delivery of their daughter, Alice. And yet, precisely in the period in which he was married to Alice — and in the period of his autobiography when he writes about how "no other form of success or service, for either man or woman, can be wisely accepted as a substitute alternative" for marriage — he never mentions that he was married, or the name of Alice, his wife, or Alice, his daughter. Just his political patron's horse, Alice.

The Big Ten thought it had control of the college football world last fall. No. 2 Michigan had just lost to No. 1 Ohio State, 42-39, in Columbus, and a rematch appeared on tap in the BCS title game. It didn't happen, and the Wolverines and Buckeyes went their separate ways in the postseason, each getting humbled in bowl games.
What could have been an historic finish ended as an embarrassment, and the league is searching for answers. The popular theory is that the Big Ten, without a title game, concludes its regular season too early and that translates to sloppy play by its representatives in the postseason.
Commissioner Jim Delany, above, says a majority of conference athletic directors are interested in extending the regular-season schedule into December. The popular plan is for league teams to skip playing the week of Thanksgiving to extend the season. Also under discussion is increasing the number of league games from eight to nine or 10.
A decision could be made on changes by June, but implementing the moves could take two years because of scheduling conflicts. Also, an early look at how the 2007 Big Ten race shapes up and five redshirt freshman who could make an impact this fall. Thanks to Kevin of We Are Penn State.

Seems to me that in immediate solution would be to move the 2007 OSU/Um game to the week after thanksgiving. After all it's more than likely that these two teams will again be playing for the Big 10 title in that game anyway. But even if they are not, we won't have to hear any crying from their fans about long layoffs and being bounced in the polls because other teams still had meaningful games while they sat on their ass and, as Charlie Weis calls it, ate cheeseburgers.

Plus, buzz about Janet Jackson joining Cowell's 'X Factor' panel continues to swirl.
By John Mitchell
Simon Cowell is enjoying the rivalry between TV's top reality singing competitions and would "be up for" a sing-off featuring the winners of "The X Factor," "American Idol" and "The Voice."
The "X Factor" mentor/judge took to Twitter Friday morning (February 17) to reveal that he "loves the rivalry between all the music shows" and went on to suggest a mega-showdown between the winners of TV's three biggest reality singing competitions. "Maybe the winner of @TheXFactorUSA this yr should compete with winner of The Voice & Idol in a super final," Cowell tweeted. "Just a thought. I'd be up for it."
Maybe the winner of @TheXFactorUSA this yr should compete with winner of The Voice & Idol in a super final. Just a thought. I'd be up for it— Simon Cowell (@SimonCowell) February 17, 2012
Though "The X Factor" did not perform as well as Cowell and Fox had hoped last fall — the notoriously cocky judge even admitted, "it's going to take a little longer than I thought" for the show to catch on in America — it has been renewed for a second season. When it returns later this year, however, viewers will see a very different panel, as judges/mentors Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, along with host Steve Jones, were let go in January.
Rumors over who will replace Abdul and Scherzinger have been rampant, with speculation naming everyone from Beyoncé to Mariah Carey as possible replacements. One star that Cowell did admit he was considering was the late Whitney Houston. He'd even scheduled a meeting with other "X Factor" execs to discuss the possibility of approaching the "I Will Always Love You" singer about joining the panel for this week, prior to the singer's death on Saturday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
"We were ironically going to meet on Monday and, of course, one of the names we were going to be talking about in that meeting as a possible mentor on the new series of 'X Factor' was going to be Whitney Houston," he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Speculation has since turned to Janet Jackson, who during a Thursday interview on Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show tiptoed around the question. Cooper asked the singer, "You're not currently a judge on' The X Factor'?" and Jackson responded, "No, I am not. But that's all I really think I should say."
Jackson's hesitation has ignited rumors that the singer has been approached but that terms of her possible "X Factor" deal have not yet been reached.
Reports have also suggested that Pink ranks high on Cowell's "X Factor" wish list. Sources tell THR that Cowell feels she would be a strong addition because of her industry and artistic credibility as well as her well-known attitude. "She can take on Simon," the source says.

Afghanistan is more in the news with activities of the Taliban and al Qaeda and one is apt to overlook that this ancient land has a strong architectural history of monuments and forts. At one time the entire North Indian plains and Afghanistan was part of one region ruled by the Emperors from Delhi. The rulers of Delhi often visited Afghanistan and spent quality time there.
At that time Afghanistan was a peaceful nation and was not party to internecine warfare that has over taken the nation now. It is a matter of relief that despite the on going insurrection some monuments of great historical value have survived destruction.
One of the monuments is the Minaret of Jam. One look at it will show that it is inspired by the Kutab Minar, which was erected by Kutabdin Aibak a member of the slave dynasty that ruled Delhi between the 11th and 13th century AD.
The minaret is 62 meters in height and compared to the Kutab Minar which stands 72.5 meters high is shorter by over 10 meters. It is one of the many minarets built between the 12th and 13thcentury all over central Asia. The principle of building these minarets was to glorify Islam and bring out the fact that no other religion or faith could match it. The minarets also reached upwards to the sky as it was felt that the higher the minaret the closer a believer is to Allah while praying. Many historians led by Ralph-Pindar Wilson are of the opinion that the Minar was built by Mohammed Ghuri to commemorate his victory over Prithviraj Chauhan at the battle of Tarain in 1138.
The minaret is surrounded by mountains that reach a height of 2400 meters and is close to a small secluded vale through which a river flows. That is one of the reasons this minaret has escaped the ravages of wars . The minaret is made of roasted bricks and is an engineering feat. It has verses engraved on its walls and the surprise is that the some of the verses eulogies Mary the mother of Jesus Christ.
The minaret is recognized as a world heritage site in 2002 by UNESCO. It is a matter of delight that this minaret has survived wars and pillage. However the minaret is in danger from nature and erosion. It is also tilting and world heritage experts are trying to restore the monument.

1. If you are on a one way street and you want to turn left please be on the left side of the street! Don't sit on the right side blocking me while I wait for you to turn left!
2. If there is an ambulance, fire truck, or other emergency vehicle behind you honking it does not mean sit there!! Even if the light is red move out of the way. Proceed cautiously out of the way of the emergency vehicle in any way possible so they can get to their destination.
3. The signs that say stop for pedestrians are NOT stop signs. They mean stop for pedestrians not stop in the middle of a busy street for no reason.
4. If you are in the left lane you may not turn right. Especially if there is a car in the right lane!!
5. If you are in the left turn lane please pull up to the white line. If you sit a car length or more behind the white line the left turn signal will not turn on as most signals are set to sensors in the ground. PULL UP!
These are my 5 current pet peeves about driving that make me an angry driver. I live on a street that requires a permit to park here and two weeks ago my block had no parking at all due to people parking without permits. I called and had everyone ticketed. I have lived her 7 years and never done this but I was pushed to my limits. With over ten cars parked illegally when I pay to park here I was pissed.
And don't expect me to let you in/turn when you are talking on your phone either. If I see you on your phone I will intentionally not let you in.
End of rant.

My brother used to get so annoyed with me that I didn't care enough about my things.
In the 90s, I drove around in a Toyota with a broken tape deck (Alanis' angry Jagged Little Pill probably broke it) for months before he scolded me. "Sissy! You have been driving around in SILENCE all this time? Listening to NOTHING?!"
Yes. Yes, I was. My thoughts keep me company and since I'm a worrier/internalizer/former caffeine abuser I was never lonely. Many, many of the thoughts to keep me company.
He'd get on me about my closet, too. Yes, my brother had more fashion sense than I did. Still does. He never has on dirty shoes if he's not going to work. My Sauconys are over a year old and thinning about the inseams like crazy. I'd have to ask his wife but I'd bet she has to give him ample hair checking time before they go out to dinner.
Don't even get me started on pegged jeans. Oh my God, I die at the memory of him making me decide which peg looked better. As if either one looked cute. But I stared, tilting my head convincingly and lied about one of them being much sounder in roll and tuckness. It was the only way to get him from behind the hallway mirror.
Many times since then have I thought about what a poor carer of things I am. I love my people, my doggas, my camera, my iPad but that's kind of it. Things just don't get me the way Sadie's frosty eyes do. My shoes never lick my earlobes. The last time any of my scarves kept me up giggling is for another
So, you see where I might have a real deficit at decorating. My house. My children. Myself. It's just hard.
Then holidays come around and there's this competition of doorways in neighborhoods that subconsciously makes me feel like I'm not playing the game right with only a Welcome mat. And let me tell you what the south does, you guys. They DECORATE. Very Very well they decorate. So, I strap on some gumption and give it a go.
This is what happens when I decide we need a little something special for Halloween.
Dollar General meets Perhaps Just Give Up Next Year.
I mean, it's not even cohesive. Why is November Scarecrow near October witch?
And what the balls is with the weird black pantyhose draped all fat on one side and "oh well" on the other?
Also, they were only a dollar each. Why not spring for more fake pumpkins?
What does your Halloween décor look like? Do you have inflatables and puffy wreaths? Did you carve pumpkins and hang scary liners on your windows? Will you play creepy music during Trick or Treat?
I want to do all of that one year, too. Just not this year. This year I have "one hand in my pocket and the other one hailing a taxi cab." - A. Morisette

2013 has been a year of huge changes for me, and my ever-expanding bump has been the biggest of these!
As I'm 5 foot 0, I'm finding it hard to get my hands on decent maternity clothes that fit around Bump and don't absolutely drown me (H&M, I'm looking at you and the 6 inches that I had to take off the bottom of my new trousers!) So I decided that I've give dress alterations a go.
So, in terms of firsts, this was the first time that I'd done any alterations apart from hemming, the first time shirring and the first time sewing with knit fabric. Armed with my new ballpoint needles and the handbook for my machine (yay to stretch stitches!), off I went.
I started off with a dress like this from Dorothy Perkins (except in the sale and two sizes too big...)
And cut the top off it - scary moment!
After folding down about 2 1/2" at the top, I made a casing and threaded in some thick elastic, and somehow managed to keep the ties in the back. I topstitched, cut off about 5" and hemmed the bottom. Easily said but it took about 2 hours, but I guess that's not bad for a first attempt! This tutorial was really useful for inspiration.
The final product:
Please excuse the dodgy photos, Hubs is impatient! I wore this to a friend's wedding last weekend with a dark t shirt underneath, and the photographer took lots of photos of me (an abnormal amount if you ask me - wonder who she thought I was!), so hopefully I'll have some better pics to show when the happy couple get their prints back.
I also altered another dress into a skirt, just by cutting off the top, adding thin elastic and then 4 rows of shirring. I couldn't get any decent photos of this dress though, so I'll hold off sharing until we get a sunny weekend!

According to The Times, Chelsea will offer Fernando Torres to Roma in exchange for Tottenham target Mattia Destro.
It had already been reported in Italian media that Roma directors Walter Sabatini and Mauro Baldissoni had travelled to London [12], as they were pictured getting on to the flight in Rome.
Thursday's edition of The Times claims this trip was for talks with Chelsea over Destro, who has been heavily linked with Spurs.
They could even include Spanish striker Torres as part of the move, ending his often troubled time at Stamford Bridge.
Torres, who cost £50m from Liverpool in 2011, would join Roma on loan to help lower Destro's £20m price-tag.
However, the Giallorossi would require Chelsea to pay some of Torres' wages, which are currently £180,000 per week.

With the average cost of a new vehicle now around $30,000, it's no surprise that car loans are getting longer and longer, notes Consumer Reports. Some banks now offer car loans with payback terms that run for as long as eight years. While long-term loans translate into lower monthly payments, they can cost you more in several other ways.
A longer loan means higher interest costs. That's because you're making payments for a longer period of time, and longer loans often have higher rates.

One of the things I found last week when out and about at my favourite op shops was a curling iron. Only $5, all electrically tested and a reputable brand. So I had a play on Friday morning and did a bit of curling in my hair. I wore the shoes I had scored teamed with some floral leggings and a chocolate brown frock, well it was Friday and we all know what Friday is all about.
After a wee visit to a few of my other favourite op shops I went and had afternoon tea with a good friend of mine, (one of the old kindy mums) called Karen. She works at Wintec and took me for a walk around the Animal House area out there. They have a variety of animals for the students that do the vet nurse and animal handling courses. I fell in love with this Donkey <3 .
There was a horse, and some huge rabbits outside and housed indoors was a minargery. A turtle named Baldrick!! Chinchilla, Chickens, Parrot, fish, Guinea Pigs, and Rats. Will admit I am not keen on Rats, or mice for that matter. When I was a child my parents let me and my sisters have all sorts of pets. I had a rabbit when rabbits were still a big no no, a friends cousin had been out shooting, shot the mother so came home with this tiny little baby bunny. We fed it with an eye dropper and it thrived but didn't know it was a rabbit. I was given a hen sitting on 3 eggs that all hatched out into female chicks and were great little layers. I recall a time when we even had a pet lamb! We had a dog and numerous cats over the years and we lived in town. I guess my love of animals started when I was very young. I cannot imagine my home without pets.
I love my dogs, and they are always up for a cuddle with mum!

Based on this color insert in the single from Golden Torso you're dealing with a four piece of bearded, tattooed giants. They're understandably crafting thrashy, hardcore tunes and remind me of friends who would be guaranteed to help my grandma cross the street. Like Fucked Up, there's way more than what you'd expect on the surface. Especially front man Monotone Sweatshirt who growls and yells through "Broken Extra Arms" along with a muted crunch from 2FirstNames on guitar. The amp hum is incorporated into the loose distortion and muscly riff that grinds around like slightly out of sync gears .
Take your arms and jump around / you are dead / in my headThere's an echo of space surrounding these chords when they stop, silent for a moment. A solo breaks through and they're on to "I Killed Miss Elizabeth". They keep the sound quality appropriately hardcore, they don't compress or add too much artificial room sound, half of the battle is won is in this recording. Great vocal rhythm in the lyric
Times are rough around this town / this townThey drop out so that bass line can come up front for a minute, keeping the vocal (sonically) clean, he's got a clear message which never stops speeding along. Who wouldn't want to play with this kind of energy? It doesn't give the audience much time to react but that's the inherent strength in the genre. There's no way to break through this aggression, you're powerless - take it in, this show of force with enough real melodic rock to actually move around to. I hear some Hot Snakes speed and complexity minus the crystal production, appropriately rough around the edges.
B-Side's "Bear Claws" lays on phasery distortion and flying solos, on the attack from the first measure, they seem to be taking disjointed parts and slamming them together, fusing weird little riffs that shouldn't necessarily end up together. A melodic fast solo and the lead trade the spotlight with lyrics about wounds and fathers. "To Hell in July" has a grindy distorted harmony, which starts this tempo before the drums join in. This is most like Fucked Up, maybe in "These sheets are made of cancer!" punctuated with layers of band vocals. This riff bends down into a crowd of vocals, this track is their strongest to me, combining their energy to this point with unique guitar work, especially this crunchy unison part. This isn't typical hardcore that wallows in that end game, this has enough tune to become an anthem to sing along with at their show, and I don't think these guys would have a problem with that.

I Was Wrong
I was wrong. Squalene is not in the current swine flu vaccine. There are thimerosal-free vaccines available, if you are concerned about thimerosal. See this article on Flu Myths for more information.
I'm not sure how this is going to change things for us. I still don't think that H1N1 is going to be a big deal. The vaccine is still unavailable in our area. I'm still waiting-and-seeing. If I get a call from our doctor's office saying, "Hey, we've got the shot," and meanwhile there have been a dozen deaths in our town from H1N1, or they've closed the schools or something, I'll probably get it for myself and the kids. On the other hand, if I get a call saying, "We've got the shot," and none of the schools have closed and no one's died, it's going to be a harder decision.
I probably ought to call the doctor's office and see if they've got vaccine available. When we saw Dr. MWMH a couple of weeks ago, he said that they'd have the shots in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure how they're notifying patients.
All of this almost makes me wish for a mandatory vaccination program - it would be easier to decide what to do if someone else would decide for me!
I'm going to copy and paste this to the bottom of my last post about H1N1.

In my post you replied to at the end I asked if there's a reason not to get it...please let me know...but after doing some more reading, I opted to get it this morning at my OB office at my appt...the only place in town that seems to have them so far! Some do contain the therm. You just have to check and see that if you don't want to have that, that you get one with out it. I plan on getting one for Claire as soon as I can as well. Even though she's still nursing and gets immunities from that, I know too many local people really sick from this right now. Plus we are flying to San Fran. this month...so I hope we can get it for her before being closed in a plane for 5 hours with someone who might be carrying it. My mom did have the original shot in the late 70s and had no ill-effects. They gave a good handout as well as the card with the lot number in case I have an "reactions" I'll know what batch I had. Fun fun!

I am so not into the flu scare. Maybe I'm extremely naive, but it is just one more issue that I am opting to not delve into. I honestly believe that yes, it IS dangerous for some people, but that it's not that much worse than the regular flu strains that pop up every winter. And since we never get a REGULAR flu shot? I'm thinking we're going to forgo the H1N1, too.

RCUK have in the past provided support for APCs through both direct and indirect costs as part of grant funding. From 1st April 2013 and until further notice, RCUK will support the payment of APCs and other publication charges related to Research Council-funded research solely through block grants to UK Higher Education Institutions, approved independent research organisations and Research Council Institutes. Research grant applications will, therefore, no longer include provision for Open Access publication or other publication charges. In all cases universities and research organisations upon receipt of funding should transfer these charges to their institutional publication fund. A university or research organisation can then access these funds to pay for APCs for any article resulting from research council funding.This means that where you can publish will depend on where you work. If you work in a wealthy institution, you can publish lots of articles in expensive journals. If you work in a less well off institution ... who knows?

Respect for sticking it on ebay Ben. My old RB67 is in the back of my loft somewhere and my LPL enlarger has been in my parents' loft for who knows how long now, can't bring myself to get rid of them. I bought some film for my Nikon FM2 which was lovely to use again... though never got them processed. I will now.
All is not lost though. My son is off to secondary comp next year (or Academy or whatever they're called now) and when we looked around the brand new art & design department, amongst the iMacs and new 3d printer there was a small room.. filled with old DeVere enlargers. Kids using film as a way of learning how to see... brilliant.

2008 has drawn to an end, and what a difference 3 months can make. The top ten chart has been updated and we have some new entries and some exits. The festive season had several big releases to round up the year and what a way to end. Ladies and gents (drum roll please) I give you in reverse order the top grossers of 2008.
Bhootnath (Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi Chawla, Shahrukh Khan, Aman Siddiqui, Priyanshu Chatterjee and Rajpal Yadav. Directed by Vivek Sharma with music by Vishal-Shekhar.)
Release date: May 9, 2008
An adaptation of the Oscar Wilde short-story The Canterville Ghost. Vivek Sharma's directorial debut was full of surprises. Teaming two superstars: Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, even if Shah Rukh Khan was only a special appearance which totaled about 25 minutes and then deciding to make a film that defies all the typical hindi film stereotypes, yet has all the necessary emotions that work with the Hindi film going audience, Bhoothnath is essentially a simple story, that was well told and that's why it worked so well.
Bhoothnath is a story of a seven-year-old naughty yet innocent boy, who unknowingly turns a foe into a friend. This is a story of Banku (Aman Siddiqui) and his friend, Kailash Nath aka Bhoothnath (Amitabh Bachchan).
Bhoothnath received a mixed response from the critics Taran Aadarsh gave the film 4 out of 5 stating "Bhoothnath is a well-told story that has all it takes to appeal to kids and kids at heart, besides striking a chord with the families. Has the merits and potential to end the dry spell at the box-office."
BollySpice reviewer Razeen Shameem gave the film 3 out of 5 stating that "Bhoothnath is a solid entertainer…… The movie is worth it mainly to see the chemistry between Amitabh Bachchan and Aman Siddiqui. Those in fear of it being a kiddie film fear not because it is a family film."
Bhoothnath went on to gross Rs. 36,57,17,088 worldwide, placing this Vivek Sharma offering at number 10 in our charts.

By Greg Logan, Newsday
Backup Lyle Negron will start at quarterback for Stony Brook in place of injured Kyle Essington in an FCS first-round playoff game against Villanova at 3 p.m. Saturday at LaValle Stadium. ButSeawolves coach Chuck Priore said he's more worried about stopping the Wildcats' offense than he is about how his team will handle a quarterback change in its biggest game of the season.
Essington won't even suit up because of a right thigh contusion. Negron, who has thrown only five passes all season, will make his first start for Stony Brook (9-2) and will be backed up by junior Craig Geoghan and freshman Pat D'Amato. But the return of veteran wide receiver Jordan Gush from a shoulder injury should help.
"I don't anticipate our productivity to change at all," Priore said of an offense built around the running of Miguel Maysonet and Marcus Coker. "The least of my problems is the quarterback position. On defense, we've got to control their quarterback running the ball, and offensively, we've got to block some of their schemes."
It's uncertain whether Negron can duplicate Essington's big-play ability in the play-action passing game, so the pressure falls to the Seawolves' defense to contain a Villanova rushing attack ranked eighth in FCS with 263.36 yards per game. Wildcats running back Kevin Monangai (108.2 average) is a 5-8, 200-pound power back and freshman quarterback John Robertson (85.1 rushing, 166.4 passing) is a dangerous run-pass threat.
Fortunately for Stony Brook, middle linebacker Jawara Dudley, who barely played in the regular-season finale at Liberty because of a groin injury, is back at full speed. He represents the heart of the defense.
"Absolutely," Priore said. "He's a playmaker and a leader. We need him out there, obviously."
Dudley said the Wildcats are "one of the best" offenses the Seawolves have faced. "[Monangai] finds holes that nobody finds," he said. He's low to the ground, but he squeaks through his gaps."
Robertson isn't a classic option quarterback. He runs designed sweeps but also is very good at improvising.
"You have to watch out for both, but to me, he's more of a runner than a passer," Dudley said. "He's a scrambling quarterback. If he doesn't see what he likes, he runs."
Priore compared the Wildcats to the Sam Houston State team that stopped Stony Brook in the second round of the playoffs last year with a similar attack. Monangai is looking forward to the matchup with Walter Payton Award candidate Maysonet.
"I've heard about this kid even before I knew we were going to play Stony Brook," Monangai said. "It definitely will serve as motivation for me to bring my 'A' game, as well as for my team."
In each of their eight wins, the Wildcats (8-3) outscored their opponents by at least 15 points. The challenge for Stony Brook's defense, which ranks fifth nationally in scoring (16.0 points) and seventh in total defense (296.82 yards) is to keep the score low to take pressure off Negron and the SBU offense.
"We can't worry about the offense," Dudley said. "We have to stop people, and that's what we plan to do . . . We need to make a couple stops to win this game. It's going to come down to it at the end of the game for us to make a big stop. I feel like we can do it."

take a picture of yourself dancing in the wild with nothing but an arduino micro covering your nether regions... then, i shall believe you.
In the event that the OP is genuine that is not a nice suggestion.And it would prove nothing....R
If you are in Nigeria, then why do you use a German mobile phone as contact number, and why is your site registered by German 1&1 ?
So, now that it's legit whose opening their wallet?
What about this ...The official Arduino team checks out this project to see if it is kosher.If it is the Arduino folks set up a system where we can contribute money to a fund to pay for the Arduinos.When the Arduino folks have enough money they can send the Arduino Unos to the project.This won't cost the Arduino folks anything except some of their time - and maybe they would be kind enough to make the Unos available at cost price.If they do set up a fund like that I would be prepared to contribute the price of one Uno - as long as I can pay with Paypal to an Arduino account. I am not prepared to pay anything directly to the charity....R
Is there any official connection between this site and Arduino?

Just for the record.
Heh. Maybe I should scan the "certificate" they sent me and post it. (Use the Gimp to wipe out the private information. Hahahahahahahah. What use would that be, other than to show the world what it looks like. Maybe not. I'm not sure the testing company would appreciate it. I had to sign an NDA to take the test. Seriously.)
It took about two and a half months to find out, from December 6th to Feb 14th. (Hah? Valentine's day? Did it realy come that day?)
I thought I had maybe just barely passed it. But my score turned out to be, by the curve, a B grade. Not bad for my first and last JLPT certification.
Oh. I went for the top level, level N1, just because I was too impatient. So there's nowhere left to go but the Nihongo Kentei.
Which may not be a bad idea, but I'm going to try to get the LPIC levels 1 and 2 first. Studying for it seems to be a good way to fill in the gaps in my sysad knowledge.

hey congrats. :) An NDA for an exam? They must be serious about it.ReplyDelete
These kinds of certifications tend to have greater weight in Japan than in the US. Kind of like it's required these days for a foreign student in the US to have TOEFL or TOEIC score to get into a US college as a regular student, only more so.ReplyDelete

Dozens of mountain lakes in Nepal and Bhutan are so swollen from melting
glaciers that they could burst their seams in the next five years and
devastate many Himalayan villages, warns a new report from the United
It's hardly news that the world's glaciers are meltinga phenomenon widely attributed to gradually rising global temperatures. But the possible consequences in terms of human deaths and loss of property have reached greater urgency in light of the findings of the new study.
It was conducted by scientists from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, along with remote-sensing experts from the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Katmandu, Nepal.
They predict that in the next half a decade or so, the Himalayas could experience intense flooding as mountain lakes overflow with water from melting glaciers and snowfields.
The lives of tens of thousands of people who live high in the mountains and in downstream communities could be at severe risk as the mud walls of the lakes collapse under the pressure of the extra water. Major loss of land and other property would aggravate poverty and hardship in the region.
The new flood warning is based on three years of research involving site visits and studies of topographical maps, satellite images, and aerial photography. The scientists assessed the conditions of about 4,000 glaciers and 5,000 glacial lakes in Nepal and Bhutan.
"Our findings indicate that 20 glacial lakes in Nepal and 24 in Bhutan have become potentially dangerous as a result of climate change," said Surendra Shrestha, Asian regional coordinator of the UNEP's Division of Early Warning and Assessment, which is based in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bigger Threat Unknown
The researchers say that the 44 lakes they identified as potentially dangerous in the near future is a conservative estimate of the number of sites that may pose a serious threat.
"These are the ones we know about," said Shrestha. "Who knows how many others, elsewhere in the Himalayas and across the world, are in a similar critical state?"
The UNEP-ICIMOD study focused only on the two small land-locked countries of Nepal and Bhutan. The team says it looked at these countries earlier than others since the governments of Bhutan and Nepal requested them to do so. In the second phase, the work is being expanded to include Pakistan, China, and countries in central Asia.
Negotiations begin this month to extend the study to India. The largest part of the Himalayas lies within India, although "almost nothing is known about glacial lake outburst floods from India," said Sarfaraz Ahmed, a glacier expert at the School of Environmental Sciences at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi.

The agony category is perhaps dominant and includes pieces like this one:
A piece doesn't have to be agonizing all the way through to fit my category. It is enough that the mood is generally unsettled, troubled, with ominous blasts from the brass and percussion. There is a sense of threat always in the background. Many of the symphonies of Shostakovich and Pettersson fit in this category. The other category, trance, might be epitomized by this piece:
The prevailing mood is one of calm and while there may be bursts of activity on the surface, there is an underlying level of stasis. Typically, music like this is slower moving or uses a lot of repetition. Another example would be one of the symphonies of Philip Glass:
I think that this phenomenon, not just restricted to symphonies, by the way, has come about for some historical reasons. The 20th century was an horrific time with the slaughter of tens of millions in war and genocide and totalitarian social experiments. It was perhaps the most inhuman century in human history. Artists recoiled in horror from this and as a consequence wrote agonized music. This stance is impossible to maintain indefinitely so an alternate aesthetic mode was developed, that of trance. The inspiration for this was likely older European musical forms like chant and passacaglia, but there is also an influence from world music. The melodic ideas of Indian music have been an influence on Philip Glass, for example.
The interesting thing about this is the narrowing of aesthetic possibility it implies. We are still so traumatized by the attempted suicide of European civilization in the last century that we are still processing the agony and our only relief seems to be a kind of narcotic, numbing trance...
Or am I oversimplifying? Comments?

I know. Some of you are shocked speechless. You thought I was spewing forth genius all the live long day.
Shut up.
But I figure if Al Gore can invent the internet, I, too, can have a few contributions to my name.
And so it is that I feel compelled to document these things here. You know, as proof that my brain actually once contained some useful cells. And one day when I'm shuffling down a linoleum hallway in some nursing home, toothless and diaper-clad, it will be said that I wasn't always that way.
Idea #1: Treadmill DVR (probably my biggest stroke of genius)
About eight years ago, I decided to stick a DVR in front of my treadmill. I boldly committed myself to taping my shows ONLY on that DVR.
What that commitment meant was this: If I wanted to watch my shows, I had to exercise.
I fully credit that move for helping me to maintain my weight. I would probably be sending in my tape for the Biggest Loser today were it not for that commitment. I hold myself to it, and do not watch my shows on any other TV or DVR. I find that I enjoy my shows so much, it hardly feels like exercise. An hour goes by before I know it and my evenings are freed up to spend time with a husband who cannot stand watching any TV.
And since I just so happen to be slightly fond of the TV, it means I run six days a week. And have done so for eight years.
Idea #2:
The split-end saver
I have been doing this one for so long, I hardly know when it began. Every day after I finish styling my hair, I rub some lotion onto my hands. When the lotion is almost all the way rubbed in, I run my fingers through the ends of my hair. It makes the driest part of my hair soft, and has helped to keep split ends in check. I don't have so much lotion that my hair gets greasy, but just enough to moisturize the dry ends.
I swear by this beauty secret, and will do it until the day I die. Or until I'm diaper-clad in that nursing home. I figure by then, split ends will be the least of my worries, right?
Idea #3:
The dish soap dilemma
When we moved into this house three years ago, I found myself constantly annoyed with the dish soap. Since we use a dishwasher religiously, I don't find myself washing dishes all that often. But when I do, it's a pain to reach under the cupboard and bring the soap out. Plus, then you have to put it away again.
And that's like eight seconds of my life, people.
What's that? You say I could just leave it out all the time?
Um, have you met me? I don't like the ugly things to be left out.
So, I bought an olive oil bottle and filled it with dish soap. It's pretty enough that I don't mind it being out on the counter all the time, and yet provides me the easy access I was longing for, too.
Idea #4: Job charts
Bottom line: We're still using them today.
Idea #5
World's Best Water Bottle
While I definitely didn't come up with this idea myself, the discovery of this water bottle has changed my life, as well as the lives of several friends I know.
What's the biggest problem we have with water bottles? The condensation that leaves ugly water marks all over the place and soaks your hands every time you take a drink.
This water bottle is genius. There is an inner bottle that is not exposed to any outside air, thus eliminating the pesky condensation. It's nicely marked to help you keep track of the volume you consume, and they offer a lovely pink shade that promotes breast cancer awareness.
(I feel like an infomercial here.)
At first, I could only find them online, but lately I've even seen them in the aisles at Target. Pick up a few today. Your dehydrated body will thank you.
Idea #6
I created this snack one day after craving chocolate and peanut butter together, but finding myself in the unfortunate predicament of trying to eat healthy.
You know. That one day. When I tried healthy eating.
It has become my go-to afternoon snack, and I've even gotten the Husband addicted to them. It's simply this: a chocolate rice cake, a dab of peanut butter, and a half a banana. Two hundred calories of bliss.
Yes, I realize that rice cakes went out of style after we all got over the low-fat diets in the 90s, but this snack is fantastic. It's sweet, salty, crunchy, and filling. I combine it with a good 24 ounces from my special water bottle, and the three o'clock munchies are no longer a problem.
Idea #7:
My favorite photos on the wall
While I can only take credit for the idea of the wall, the Husband was the mastermind behind the planning and placement of the arrangement you see here.
But I LOVE my photo wall. It's the first thing you see when you walk through our front door, and it is my favorite room in the whole house. The light in there is spectacular, and the furniture is just right. When I'm going to curl up with a good book and a blanket, this is the room I go to.
In fact, it's where I'm typing right now. Best thing we ever put up on our walls. Ever.
I guess that's it. It appears that I have only had seven good ideas in my lifetime. But considering the brain power I'm sporting, I'd say that's not too shabby.
Not too shabby at all.

2016 Success Stories – Tilly found her forever home
2016 marked some very special milestones in the PAWS' calendar in terms of adoption stories. Some very special dogs found some very special homes, but even more impressive was that many of these dogs were some of our long-termers having spent a year or more in the PAWS kennels. Among them was Ghost, Bracken, Kim, Teddy Bear, Suzi, Kevin, Scoby and Rose to name a few. All had been overlooked for a chance of a home for one reason or another for so long just waiting for the right person to come along.
Often, the reasons for a dog taking longer to get adopted is for reasons through no fault of the dog's. Many black dogs, older dogs or certain breeds can get overlooked and, unfortunately, sometimes this is also the case at PAWS. Tilly, our staffie cross girl, was one example of these dogs when she'd spent almost 2 years in the kennels. Full of love, tail wags and licks for everyone that passed her kennel, no one could quite get their head around why Tilly was still looking for a home. She loved everyone both two and four legged. She played, she gave the best cuddles, she walked well on a lead, she had great mannerisms and she secretly held pride of place as everyone's favorite girly in PAWS. Even Tilly knew she'd make some very lucky person a great dog, if she was just given half a chance.
Luckily, this year marked the end of her wait when a very lovely couple and their rescue collie cross arrived at the PAWS gates looking for a new dog. The kennels were a buzz with excitement when they took Tilly for a walk with their dog and, as you might have guessed, that's all it took. A short while later, Tilly was on her way home to her forever couch at last. A very happy ending for a very happy dog. Tilly's story is an example of why dogs should never be overlooked due to their appearance, their story or their colour. Often, long-term shelter dogs make the best dogs, they just need somebody to give them their chance. Tilly's story is what gives us the strength and determination to get up and fight another day. It's because of dogs like Tilly and her lovely new owners which is why PAWS does what it does.

I had the opportunity to take a look at the new Toxic Nature collection from Illamasqua this week. The inspiration behind this collection came from the chaos caused by the volcanic ash cloud last year. Toxic Nature is comprised of colours you would find in nature that have been a bit 'tampered with', ranging from mutated pastels, 'not quite' neutrals, to the odd pop of bright acid colour. There are even a couple of taupes in there for good measure (yes, really!). This collection will definitely appeal if, like me, you like swampy colours with a little bit of an edge.
|Image from www.sparklzandshine.com
The new cream pigments released with this collection are a replacement for the cream eyeshadows. They are multi-purpose and can be used as eyeshadows, colour correctors, contour or blusher. They can even be mixed to create new 'toxic' shades. The new matte formula also promises to be more crease resistant. There are six shades of cream pigments; Emerge - peach, Mould - grape, Delirium - a rosy taupe, Bedaub - mint, Hollow - toffee and Dab - lilac.
|Image from www.sparklzandshine.com
The collection also includes two lipsticks which are more creamy than the usual Illamasqua formula; Flare, a bright orange and Atomic, a fuchsia violet. Two complementary sheer lipglosses, Torture, a coral peach and Divine, a fuchsia pink. Nail varnishes in Gamma - neon orange, Radium - acidic lime shimmer, Bacterium - pearlescent ash ochre, Purity - peach and Stagnate - grey mauve. Last but by no means least is the amazing flesh coloured precision liner in Glister. This is truly stunning and the opalescent shimmer is really beautiful. I would think this has to be the must-have from the collection.
|Precision Ink in Glister. Image from www.sparklzandshine.com
Other standouts for me are the cream pigments in Delirium and Hollow, the lipstick in Atomic and the fabulously titled Bacterium nail varnish. You can admire London Makeup Girl's manicure with Bacterium here. It really is a unique colour and the pearl gleam made it look different according to the light. I also admired Peonies and Lilies manicure with Stagnate, a good one for gruple fans.
I was given a few items to try and I'm currently playing with these and will hopefully have a swatch post with comparisons up in the next couple of days. I particularly want to compare Emerge cream pigment to my cream blusher in Rude.
The collection will be released online on 10th March and be available at counters from 17th March. If you add items to you wishlist on the Illamasqua website now you could be one of three lucky people to win your favourite items from the collection. My thanks to Helen Sparklz and Shine for letting me share her great photos with you. You can see her post about the collection here. May I also recommend you take a look at lipglossiping for lots more fantastic pictures.

I am home after a trip to New York City to visit a dear childhood friend. I will be blogging more about my visit to New York City in the coming days.
It was nice leaving the City on a holiday - not much traffic (comparatively) and road work projects had the day off, too.
The holiday President's Day is still officially a celebration of George Washington's birthday. For my readers living outside the United States, George Washington was our first president. In his day, slavery was legal and George Washington, in fact, kept slaves (as did some of our other "founding fathers". This is a fact that should not be "swept under the rug" and should not be surprising. People are a product of the culture of the time. Slavery was a part of that culture. Very wrong, but it existed.
One of George Washington's slaves was Hercules, who eventually ran away (on Washington's 65th birthday). For part of part of his captivity, Hercules was the head of Washington's kitchen - in other words, a chef. He became a celebrity chef in Washington's household in the city of Philadelphia. The story of Hercules is quite fascinating, and worth reading on this President's Day. If you can imagine a celebrity chef of the day - oh, let's think someone like one of the Iron Chefs- as being a slave, this is something few of us could wrap our arms around.
Apparently (this is not proven), after escaping his captivity, Hercules made his way to New York City. After Washington's death, he was freed and was no longer an official fugitive. But the wife he left behind belonged to Washington's wife, and was not freed. She ended her life still a slave.
Join me daily as I blog about life in upstate New York,photography, flowers, gardening, travel, caregiving, a brother in law with autism, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.

The person inside the nurse : the professional socialization of baccalaureate nursing students
Biggs, Bobbi.
MetadataShow full item record
The goal ofthis research was to gain an understanding ofthe process ofprofessional socialization by accessing role meaning ofstudents engaged in a BScN program. Students from each ofthe four years and faculty members from the school ofnursing volunteered as participants. G. Kelly's (1955) Personal Construct Theory provided the framework to determine awareness and constructed meanings. A reflective tool, called LifeMapping, was adapted and utilized to relate student experiences within education that have attributed to nurse role meaning. Focus group interviews verified data interpretation. Students are informed oftheir choice to study nursing through part-time and volunteer work, secondary school cooperative placements. Descriptions reveal that choices are tested and both positive and negative aspects ofthe role observed. Bipolar images of good and bad nurses seem to be context-related. These images may establish biases in choices related to learning experiences. The person inside ofeach aspiring nurse interprets, revises and understands experiences to incorporate individual meaning into their value and belief structures. Students are aware ofchanges and descnbe them as developments that occur personally up to Year ill and role-image changes that begin in Year II. The major difficulty that students encountered was descnbed as negative attitudes towards their anticipated role. Humanistic-interactionist philosophies are echoed in student accounts of learning experiences. Growth and role development corresponds to process factors of small group, problem-base learning.
