Two dancing dogs from Stewarton will look to sniff out the competition when they travel to the European Championships as part of Team Scotland next month.
Playful pooches Roxy and Flurry, along with owner Penny Mansfield, will head to Graz with fellow competitors from across Scotland for the Open European Championships in dog dancing.
It's the first time a team will represent Scotland at the event, which takes place in Austria from September 22–25.
Dog dancing is a mixture of obedience training, tricks, and dance that allows for creative interaction between dogs and their owners.
Penny, who trains with her team fortnightly in Pet Emporium in College Milton, said: "I was at a bit of a loose end and decided to take up dog dancing as a hobby.
"It's similar to what people have seen on Britain's Got Talent over the years but there's more structure to it. When they go on BGT, it's a bit more freestyle and they can do whatever they like.
"The routines are based around music and have a theme. Ours is Fawlty Towers and we will incorporate tricks into that. Dog dancing is divided into two sections, with heelwork to music, which is pretty self explanatory and freestyle which is a routine that combines tricks and flow to create a story."
The driving force behind Team Scotland is three-time Crufts winner Heather Smith, from Troon, who will take her beardie collies Gertie and Dare along as well as bichon frise Dinky.
Marie Docherty from East Kilbride, Michelle Porter, from Irvine, Hannah Paterson, from Arbroath and Ann Murdoch from Aberdeen will complete the team heading for Graz.
Penny is a former ladies champion in showjumping, and has also written as a freelance journalist on horse-based sports – and she says there are similarities when working with the different animals.
She added: "You have to be able to communicate with the animals, a good routine takes around a year to perfect.
"The team are lucky to have the services of former dancer and choreographer Marlyn Harwood to help with the finer points of the routine."
Team Scotland have been hard at work over the past few months raising money, with a gala dinner, HTM show and demos taking place.

It has been a rough emotional few days for me.
The long Memorial weekend and the time I had off from work was welcomed and in between sleeping, little JBR found that reading Hinds' Feet on High Places was a slow process and is still in the first chapter.
She has read chapter one over three times in order for the characters and the meaning of the message to sink in and not to rush the reading just to get through it. Probably will end up doing the same with the rest of the chapters.
The following touched her:
"....There is still one thing more, the most important of all. No one is allowed to dwell in the Kingdom of Love, unless they have the flower of Love already blooming in their hearts. Has Love been planted in your heart, Much-Afraid?
As the Shepherd said this he looked at her very steadily and she realized that his eyes were searching into the very depths of her heart and knew all that was there far better than she did herself. She did not answer for a long time, because she was not sure what to say, but she looked rather flinchingly into the eyes which were gazing at her so penetratingly and became aware that they had the power of reflecting what they looked upon.
She could thus really see her own heart as he saw it, so after a long pause she answered, "I think that what is growing there is a great longing to experience the joy of natural, human love and to learn to love supremely one person who will love me in return. But perhaps that desire, natural and right as it seems, is not the Love of which you are speaking? She paused and then added honestly and almost tremblingly, I see the longing to be loved and admired growing in my heart, Shepherd, but I don't think I see the kind of Love that you are talking about, at least, nothing like the love which I see in you." p. 10, Hinds Feet on High Places
Much-Afraid went along and let the Shepherd plant the flower of Love into her heart but warned her where there is love there is pain also and it will take time for her flower to bloom and for her name to change.
Both JBR's hope to learn of love and forgiveness.

You do already, Both of You. You are wonderfully made.ReplyDelete
JBR I pray that you'll be able to experience that joy and love in your little heart. Let God continue to love on you. The flower that you speak of will one day bloom and you'll feel what you've missed out on but will be happy to finally experience the love along with the joy. God Bless.ReplyDelete
This was, for me, the most powerful part of this book. The last sentence you shared is "so true". I remember reading this over 15 years ago and trying to understand what "the Shepard was saying". Now, fifteen years later, I can say, it is true. It took me a long time to trust the Shepard with my heart. I had many, many walls, and guards, blocking the Shepard from my heart. It was like fort knox kind of guarding. I had been wounded so deeply by my earthly Father, I could not risk trusting the Shepard to get close. Finally, after The Shepard waiting ever so patiently, I let "Love" plant the flower of love in my heart. He never pushed or broke my boundary. He just waited for me to undo all the locks and doors that were around my hurting heart.
Then, after that it took time for my flower to bloom and my name to change.
Here listening as you begin the journey.

Sweetie your posts always touch me. You're very special. Praying only the best for you.ReplyDelete
the flower of love is right there in your heart, believe me...ReplyDelete
I've heard of this book but I've never read it. The excerpt from it touched me, too. I'll have to pick it up. Thanks, JBR.ReplyDelete
What an awesome book and message! Praying that we all get the message and love blooming in our hearts!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful! Oh my word, I loved this post so much! I am very impressed with the direction in which you have chosen for yourself, for it is toward everything that is RIGHT and GOOD!ReplyDelete
I pray for your search for that place in your heart and for your peace of mind, and one day, one day soon, it will be.
Peace and Love,
Abbey ♥
That's a beautiful passage. I especially like that last paragraph about how where there is love there is pain and that it take a while for the "flower" to bloom." I don't know why that makes me feel better.ReplyDelete
And I want you to know that you (and little JBR) deserve love and forgiveness. Please know that you will always have support from me.
I know you'll glow all the way to your goal.
I haven't read the book but it somes like a good one.ReplyDelete
Yea yeah yeah I remember thisbook. Been awhile. I couldn't ptu the book down I was involved so deeply.I dohope the book blesses you.ReplyDelete
Sometimes you just have to be in the mood to read. Summer days are just a whole lot lazier.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
May your little Jbr find her way safely home where there's plenty of love to be had.ReplyDelete

USC No. 1 in College Football? No Way
Who's No.1 in college football?
If your answer is USC, most likely you're a delusional LA homer who's wearing rose-colored glasses and is totally stoned on local media hype. That's not all. Members of the SC-Is-No.1 club clearly aren't tuned into the SEC.
Anybody who thinks SC tops college football is making several mistakes. First of all, placing
way too much emphasis on offense. No one is doubting that the SC offense is the nation's best. There are stars at every position, from QB Matt Barkley to wide receivers Robert Woods and Marquise Lee to RBs Curtis O'Neal and Silas Redd. The offensive line isn't as loaded as last year's but it's still among the nation's top five.
Great offenses, though, rarely will national titles. They pile up impressive stats and make headlines, but in the post season, it's defense that reigns. Why do you think the defense-minded SEC is on an unstoppable title run? An exception was the Auburn team two seasons ago that edged Oregon in the national title game. In a battle of two powerhouse offenses Auburn won. Why? Because of their defense. It wasn't top-notch, but it turned out to be better than Oregon's.
Second mistake made by the SC-Is-No.1 crew: forgetting how the Trojans' defense is remarkably thin and inexperienced on the defensive line, which is riddled with freshman. Coach Kiffin had the uneasy task of replacing three D-line starters. On top of that, superb defensive end Devon Kennard has been lost for the season. The rest of the starting defense is solid, though. Still, the SC super-boosters ignore the D-line issues. Also, quite foolishly, they swear it doesn't matter that senior CB Isiah Wiley, a first-rate starter last season, is academically ineligible. The secondary will really miss him.
Third mistake: downplaying the overall effect of having only 75 scholarship players, a result of sanctions which limit scholarships. Behind SC's super starting team is a lot of untested four-and-five-star talent. If starters go down, the quality of play at that position goes down too. For instance, behind Barkley looms two raw freshman backups. If a bell-ringing sack knocks him out for a quarter or two, the Trojan offense is likely to sputter. Injuries are part of the game. Will the Trojans dodge the injury bug? Like every other team, they'll get stung. But they have no remedy.
The Trojans' machine-gun offense, by the way, creates problems for the defense. The quick-striking offense will score fast and often, forcing the defense to rack up many, many minutes. The D is likely to buckle under the strain.
Fourth mistake: ignoring the SEC. I have contacts who are SEC fanatics. I've seen many tapes of the best of that conference--Bama, LSU, Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. They're all good--really, really good. In the Pac 12 only USC and Oregon have a chance against them. Offensively none of the SEC powers can't touch SC but defensively all could slow the Trojans considerably.
Smart gamblers know, when the season ends, SC could easily be a battered shell of the team that starts the season. The word in gambling circles is that, for the national title, big money is going with either Bama or LSU, both of which sport monster defenses, and not offensive power SC.
Again, what wins titles, defense or offense? Follow the smart money.

The buzzword of the 21st century—economic inequality!
I wish to God I never heard of it, and I wish to Christ I wasn't living it.
There are two really good B-movies that approach this topic with gusto, both were made back in the late 80s, and both were ahead of their time. That's not to say there wasn't economic inequality back in the 80s. Sure there was. What I'm saying is in the 21st century it's only gotten infinitely worse. So worse that you can no longer work your way up a class. The only way to do that nowadays is if you win a lottery or have a rich relative bequeath all their money to you. But's easy all hell to drop down a class.
We all know the rich are different from the rest of us, but in John Carpenter's They Live (1988) and Brian Yuzna's Society (1989) that "difference" is taken to the ultimate level. In They Live they're aliens, in Society the origins are a lot foggier, but no less extraordinary and frightening. At one point our "hero" even theorizes "alien scum" and the "creature" looking back at him denies this, but offers no alternative. That feels very Lovecraftian. The "rich" in Society look exactly like any other human but at their core they're a kind of shape-shifter. They don't go around shifting into other people, no, their shifting is indeed much more "Lovecraftian." They appear to have no bones; no internal organs like the rest of us; they can assume bodily poses even the most adept contortionist would envy, and can merge their bodies with others of their kind, and can "devour" an ordinary being is this manner as well. Sex seems to be high on their list and they're very incestuous.
Society is told through the eyes of teenager, Bill Whitney (Billy Warlock), and his story, for we the viewers, starts in high school, somewhere around junior or senior high, I figure. He appears to have been born into wealth, but he routinely sees a psychiatrist because he feels something isn't right with his parents and his life. They don't interact with him like they do with his sister, Jenny (Patrice Jennings), they're very cold and uncaring when it comes to his life and his friends. He even tells his psychiatrist he doesn't even look like them, making him think he may have been adopted. And speaking of incest, he already has a suspicion they're have "incestuous leanings" towards Jenny.
It's Jenny's ex-boyfriend, Blanchard (Tim Bartell), that really gets the skinny on how unlike Bill's parents are from him and perhaps just about any other normal person. Jenny has a coming out party to attend and Blanchard bugged their car and the conversation he recorded is bizarre, utterly perplexing and at the end quite horrifying. What I really enjoyed about this flick is it's constructed as a mystery, and one that's full of dread. I remember when I first saw it on cable back in the day and I really could feel the dread Billy's character feels, that something terrible is happening, but he just can't put his finger on what it is, nor could he ever, and that something infinitely more terrible might be heading his way. This dread all culminates in the final scene, where we get to see how bizarre and "alien" the rich truly are. They have a ceremony they call, the shunting, where they take a low class citizen and gang up on him in this orgy-like gathering, but instead of straight sex, they merge their bodies with him, and each other, to the point where the room is full of nothing more than bizarre shapes of undulating, blobbish matter. The victim is essentially absorbed, with only minute traces of him left on the bodies of the rich.
The methodology to this ritual is the raising of a lower class citizen as one of their own and then sacrificing him in a shunt, sacrificing to 'society'. This has been Bill's destiny since birth, we never know who his real parents were, but in the end at least all his fears get validated.
Despite the grim nature of the plot there is a happy ending. Bill escapes with his best friend, Milo (Evan Richards), and Clarissa Carlyn (Devin DeVasquez), a rich girl, who actually ends up caring for him.
Aside from Baywatcher, Billy Warlock, there are three other faces in Society other B-movie fans would recognize: Brian Bremmer, Heidi Kozak and the aforementioned Devin DeVasquez. Bremmer played Bunt in Pumpkinhead (1988), Kozak was in Slumber Party Massacre II (1987) and Friday The 13th, Part VII: Thew New Blood (1988) and Devin was in House II: The Second Story (1987).
I first heard of this flick through what else Fangoria magazine (issues #87 & #118) where Screaming Mad George's FX for it was prominently featured in #87. Let's just say this is a movie you tend to not forget once you get any kind of slight taste of it. Looking at some of the trivia for this movie on IMDB, one of the facts states it was completed in 1989 but not getting any kind of release until 1992. Yes, I seem to remember hearing about it in Fangoria then a long period of time before I actually saw it on cable.
The movie was previously available on DVD in 2002 through Anchor Bay and then they re-released a year later as a double feature paired with Spontaneous Combustion (1989). Society is one of those fan favorites that has taken a long time to reach blu-ray and shockingly it finally does through UK distributor Arrow Video. Just in time too for until this year you could only get Arrow titles from the UK, but they recently created a US branch and as luck would have it managed to get Yuzna's film for a limited edition DVD/blu-ray release here in the states., which happened this past June 8th. You can still purchase the UK version, which is identical, in case there are any overseas residents reading this review.
Also keep in mind even though this review is solely for the Limited Edition, Arrow plans to re-release it in September in a more conventional set with the same extras but without the digipak box and the included comic book.
Video/Audio/Subtitles: 1080p 1.78:1 high definition widescreen—English 2.0 LPCM (stereo)—English SDH
The transfer for this blu-ray is amazing. Colors pop and clarity is fine enough to make out individual beads of sweat, and some choice camel toe on Bill's girlfriend, Shauna (Heidi Kozak), in her itty-bitty bikini as they lounge on the beach.
Extras include…
- New audio commentary by director Brian Yuzna, moderated by David Gregory
- Governor of Society (16:52)
- Masters of the Hunt (22:22)
- Champion of the Shunt (20:39)
- Brian Yuzna Q&A (38:34)
- Brian Yuzna – Society Premiere (1:56)
- Screaming Mad George Music Video, "Persecution Mania" (6:09)
- Theatrical Trailer
- Arrow does booklets (a lost art now among DVD releases except for Criterion) and this one has an essay by film critic Alan Jones
- Society: Party Animal (Limited Edition Exclusive)
These extras do not disappoint. My only gripe . . . I wish there was a cast commentary included. Speaking of commentaries, this is not the ported over one Yuzna did for the 2002 release. It's brand new and features a moderator. You'll learn lots of things but these three stood out for: This was Yuzna's directorial debut; Billy Warlock's father is stuntman, Dick Warlock; Devin DeVasquez was dating Sylvester Stallone when she did this movie.
Governor Of Society is all about Brian Yuzna, briefly how he got into movies and how he transitioned from producer to director. Some of this stuff is mentioned briefly in the commentary most of what he says is new though, like his talk of The Men and how that movie fell through and how it segued him right into Society. A few years ago there was even news on the web about how he and Stuart Gordon were going to make The Men. Here he talks about it's origins.
Masters Of The Hunt interviews actors Billy Warlock, Tim Bartell, Devin DeVasquez and Ben Meyerson. Meyerson I failed to mention earlier but he plays Warlock's more direct nemesis, a rich high schooler who at the very end accepts Warlock's challenge after the shunt to a fight to the death. They all share they experiences making the flick and all agree it's one weird ass film. Devin contradicts what Yuzna says in the commentary that she was more comfortable with the sex scene than Warlock was.
Champion Of The Shunt belongs to Screaming Mad George. A nice interview where he discusses his influences, shares some behind-the-scenesphotos when they built a lot of the FX and shares the spotlight with two technicians he worked with during the shoot. He also shares his mind-blowing art at the end. Very impressed with the "optical illusion."
Brian Yuzna Q&A/Brian Yuzna—Society Premiere, the latter is really short and dated 1989. There he philosophizes about horror in general. The former is a Q&A from a 2014 UK film festival. The most pertinent info in that one is the sequel; he talks about the plot and that he's been in the process of trying to secure financing.
Lastly, you get a nice booklet, a reproduction of the poster and a reproduction of the 2003 comic book, Society: Party Animal, which Wikipedia states is an official sequel to the movie. I've never been personally big on movies that get sequels done in either novel or comic book form. It's got great artwork though and don't get me wrong it's a nice addition to this limited edition, but an official sequel to any movie is another movie.
(Note: As of this review this limited edition is either very, very close to going out of print, since only 3000 units were pressed, or is already out of print. On Arrow Video's Facebook page a week ago they started it was close to going out of print, while a poster on my page told me it already was. Regardless, it's still available to buy on Amazon, so if you want it get it now. It's replacement is already slated for a September release and will include more conventional disc packaging (no digipak) and will not include the comic book).

Edan and Glenica return from Minmus aboard Aurora 17, bringing a close to another successful mission in the Aurora Program!
Aurora Program
Year 5, Day 39 (Aurora 17 Heads to Minmus!)
Samner, Edan, and Shepley launch on board Aurora 17! Edan is particularly excited, as this will be his first landing! This is the first launch of the overhauled Aurora Mission, utilizing a longer term habitation module, similar to that on the upcoming Explorer 2mission! The purpose is to make space flight more comfortable, and to give crews experience on maneuvers and working environments similar to those in future planned deep space missions.
Year 4, Day 392 (Aurora 16 Returns!)
Aurora 16 splashes down, in the sea west of the Space Center! Kimmy, Edan, and Dunwin are all rescued – and the vast trove of data gathered on both Harmony and Unity Space Stations is collected!
Year 3, Day 380 (Aurora 15 Returns From Mun)
Edan takes off from Mun in the Aurora 15 lander – leaving Bill on the surface to tend for MunBase One!
Almost docked… Success!
After moving back over to the Spacecraft, Edan detaches the lander, and plots a course back to Kerbin!
"This is the first time I haven't brought a whole crew back… feels strange! I hope Bill is OK back there on Mun!"
"The radio's still on Jeb! I'm fine! Get home safe!"
The CRV detaches from the Aurora Spacecraft… and begins to heat up
Finally, the crew returns home!
Year 3, Day 372 (MunBase One Launches! )
Shortly before launch, the final plans for the next MunBase are released: MunBase One!
With funds running low, another MunBase launch is attempted. The new base is designated as "MunBase One."
Because of the negative associations with "Alpha" from the MunBase Alpha disaster, KSEA felt a new name might be best. Also, it uses less room on those patches.
The launch is successful… and MunBase One's fairings eject. This time, large solar arrays like those on Explorer and the KSS deploy to help keep the base powered on its journey to Mun! Additionally, the capacitors have been removed, and a new battery, combined with a longer range relay antenna, are located at the center of the base!
Finally, MunBase One arrives at Mun! Mission Control orders the flight computer to begin its decent.. .
Success! MunBase One sets down! Just under 100 meters from the initial planned site… close enough!
Up in orbit, the crew gets ready to head down and check things out! Edan and Bill climb into the lander, and head down! (Historians note this is the first time that a Mun Lander has been used more than once!)
The lander sets down at MunBase One!
"Everything looks like it set down OK! I'm going to head inside and see if everything's OK!
Huh. Looks like the base set down about 50m from where it was supposed to! No matter… we'll just move the flag!
Bill and Edan pose for a nice landing portrait, then Bill heads inside the Base. Edan scurries back to the lander for shelter!
"Things look fine in here! I think we're "Go" for you heading back up Edan… I'll keep an eye on the base until the next crew rotation arrives!"
The plan is for Edan to return to the Aurora 15 Spacecraft and head back to Kerbin with Bob! Bill will remain until the MunBase One crew is assigned!
Year 3, Day 350 (Aurora 15 Launches, MunBase Alpha Construction)
Edan, Bill, and Bob blast off from the Space Center on Aurora 15! Their mission is to find a suitable, and ideally scenic, spot for MunBase Alpha!
After docking and transposition, the orbital stage is ejected… and Aurora 15 sails to Mun!
After just a few hours, Aurora 15 arrives … and the crew starts looking for a good site!
Landing confirmed! Now to find a nice flat spot with a good view!
Edan stays at the lander… while Bob heads out in his EVA jetpack to find a good spot!
"I think this is it! I'll put a flag here so we know where to find it when we come back!"
The site for MunBase Alpha will be in the center of one of the large Midland craters, in a flat area between 3 others:
This location should be easy enough to set a base at, flat with few large rocks or other obstacles nearby!
Ok then – that's a go! Let's start construction on MunBase Alpha at once! Meanwhile, Edan and Bill take off, back to the orbiting Aurora Spacecraft!
Edan and Bill say hi to Bob, and share the good news! Meanwhile, back on Kerbin, mission planners work on last minute adjustments to MunBase Alpha! The plan is to have Aurora 15 stay in orbit, while the MunBase launches!
Year 3, Day 320 (Aurora 15 Construction, MunBase Alpha Announced)
Construction starts on Aurora 15, which will scout for a location for KSEA's next big adventure… MunBase Alpha! This Munar Outpost will be the first attempt at long term habitation of another world! This is the first of hopefully many Deep Space Colonies!
KSEA hopes that lessons learned from MunBase Alpha will help develop new technologies to make future colonization possible. This also provides a great excuse for some great new Mission Patches!

This week has been a whirlwind. Saturday was the final street festival in Chicago that just happened to be right outside our front door, and the weather was glorious. We invited people over to enjoy the festival, and had more children attend the gathering than ever before - oh how life has changed from parties of the past! Maddy was a champ through the whole day, and once again proved what a happy, social baby she is. She even napped during the party- with the noise and commotion right outside her door. I'm hoping its good training for later in life, and she'll be able to sleep anywhere!
Sunday provided a stark contrast to Saturday - it was rainy, cold and dreary, and was the perfect excuse to stay in and watch football, and do some nap time with the baby. Maddy has begun to enjoy sleeping on Mommy's chest again, and mommy doesn't mind one bit.
The rest of the week has been long and hard, with the daily grind really feeling like a grind. Work is manic, and I'm doing my best to keep up. Every day I race out to pick up my girl, and it's my favorite part of the day- her big gummy grins light up my world and I quickly forget all the days challenges and move into 'Enjoying Madeline' time.
Maddy is in her own routine now and is so close to sleeping through the night. I know big milestones are close- she can almost hold her own bottle, she days from sitting up on her own, and crawling is just around the corner. And it's just about time to introduce solids.
So for now, I'll enjoy our end of the day rendezvous and snuggle fests, knowing they may change before I can blink.

(Left) An explosion in Gaza, an Israeli-controlled part of the Palestinian Authority. The West Bank is Israeli-controlled and occupied by Israel, against agreements with their neighbours and the international community (e.g. the United Nations).
I believe in Israel's right to 'defend itself', but much of what it has been doing since its inception — by Zionist terrorists mind you (even the UN labels the early Zionists and some today as such) — are disproportional responses resulting in more breed terrorists (I am working on a post comparing Israeli offenses to the attempts to put out wildfires, which often result in more. It is called the Fire Paradox.). All this along with a domestic apartheid-like system with, in comparison to South Africa, Jews as whites and Arabs as blacks. Also the Western world wanted a democratically-elected government in Palestine... and they got one Hamas. You can't cherry pick everything!
Another thing is that the US press has been too friendly to Israel; almost always on the side of Israel and afraid to often make even fair criticisms (see below).
And people should not be called anti-Semitic, as I have been called, for being against much of what Israel does. Even if someone is totally against Israel (which I am not) that does not make them anti-Semitic. (I have plenty of Jewish friends, so don't attack me for being 'hypocritical' or 'anti-Semitic' for that either.) It is the same logic that Carl Rove helped use against those against the United States' hegemonic wars: you are with us or you are with the terrorists that attacked us.
On The Media transcript on how the US news media covers Israel's conflicts;
J.J. Goldberg (editor of The Forward, a liberal Jewish newspaper in New York City):
I think at the moment, the American press is attempting to be scrupulously balanced. X number of bombs here, X number of rockets there, a story about a family that suffered losses in Lebanon, a story about a family that suffered losses in Israel. But when you look at the death tolls, you have to ask why is the balance so scrupulous?
I, myself, am not totally anti-Israel; I am not totally pro-Israel either. I see many forms of [extreme] Zionism as racism... just because I am not Jewish does not mean I should be treated differently, nor should I get special treatment and nor should people of the Jewish faith.
The State of Israel is certainly not a democracy or fair government, and should not be seen as one, as long as they continue this elitist Jewish stance — treating others as second-class citizens. It does not matter what they were founded upon (Zionism of the Jewish faith), early colonial America was founded upon Puritan Christianity, but the US is not a Puritan state!

Water Ecology
Last week we had another amazing adventure at Starr Ranch with our friend Anabelle and some other homeschooling friends! Our great environmental educators, Scott and Jen, led us to a stream where we learned about aquatic invertebrate, such as dobsonflies, toe-biters, may-flies, and water-striders. We looked for the difference in the amount of insects and the types of insects found in riffles and pools, then we collected them in buckets and sorted them. We found out that there are many more aquatic invertebrate in riffles than in pools! Here are some of the pictures that we took while we were there:

we were all given trays to put our catch in so it would be easier to sort

A few weeks ago, I posted about Thinking Of You Week which is coming up on September 21st. I have been slowly working on my stash of 7 or so cards to have specifically for mailing that week.
Here are a few of the cards* that I will be sending out.
|The Wetlands stamp set is up there with
Lovely As A Tree as one of my all-time favs.
This stamp set can do no wrong. I've added a little
sponging for "water" and some Dazzling Details
for a bit of sparkle.
I hope you'll join me during Thinking of You week and make and send out some cards to let people know you're thinking of them.**
*All cards have been CASE'd from Pinterest and I thank all those clever Pinterest-ers for their creativity and inspiration.
**Due to some more family related matters, I've had to cancel my Thinking of You class previously scheduled for September 18th

Have been grumbling over the speed of the internet connection at home? Well, these two tech giants have found the way to provide turbo-charged speed that everyone craves for on their gadgets. Microsoft, Facebook, and the telecoms infrastructure company Telxius announced the completion of the subsea cable which can transmit 160 terabits of data per second. The speed is equivalent of streaming 71 million HD videos at one time. As per The Verge report, it is the highest capacity subsea cable to cross the Atlantic Ocean and Microsoft claims, it is 16 million times faster than an average home connection. The cable will be operational by early 2018.
The cable connection is named as 'Marea'- Spanish for 'tide' – is 4,000 miles long and lies 17,000 feet below the ocean surface. As per the Verge report, the subsea cable extends between Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA and Bilbao, Spain. Microsoft says Marea will provide complete resilience and reliability for the people in the US and Europe by safeguarding against any natural disaster which might lead to disruption of connections like those seen during Hurricane Sandy.
President of Microsoft Brad Smith told Verge that Marea comes at a crucial time. He said," Submarine cables in the Atlantic already carry 55 percent more data than trans-Pacific routes and 40 percent more data than between the US and Latin America. There is no question that the demand for data flows across the Atlantic will continue to increase."
Notably, the cable is made up of eight pairs of fiber optic cables which is enclosed by copper and lays on the ocean floor. Interestingly, a little of the cable is buried to protect from shipping traffic, mainly in the areas closer to the land.

Breakout Kings
I downloaded the first episode for free on the iTunes store. I always check the free shows since the often offer pilot episodes at no charge. This one caught my interest because it stars that guy who played Herc on the Wire. I love that guy, and he's basically playing the exact same character here that he did then. He's the same tough yet lovable cop who plays by his own rules. He's good at it, so I'm not complaining. In fact, had he not played a character that was just like Herc from the Wire, I would've been disappointed. That was why I downloaded this show in the first place. So this show gets points for having a central performance by an actor as likable and fun to watch as Domenick Lombardozzi.
The rest of the cast is great too. The real star is some guy named Laz Alonso, whom I've never really seen before, but he was very good and very effective as the series lead. The cast of cons was fun and likable, containing a funny black guy, a super hot white chick, and one of the McPoyle brothers from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They were all likable, even if they were a bit too quirky.
The only real problem with the show is that it made no sense. The premise of having former fugitives help cops track down current fugitives in order to decrease their prison sentences is very clever, but the writers didn't really do enough with it. The prisons didn't really offer that much expertise about breaking out of prison. They all had intellects like Sherlock Holmes, of course, but never gave any insight or discovered clues that wouldn't have been offered by an actual criminal investigator. The show simply failed to establish beyond my suspension of disbelief why this task force needed criminals instead of just really good cops.
But I liked it, because it was very clever, exciting, and well done. She show has a cool cast, good action sequences, and enough in depth procedural details that kept me enthralled the entire episode. I just failed to buy the main premise, and I doubt they'll manage to coast by for more than a season or so. But I liked it enough to check out episode two, if I can watch it online somewhere, that is. I don't get A&E.

Oh yeah...I saw a commercial for this. I guess the idea is that they just "think like convicts", so they know what other convicts would do when they break out? Then again, that's pretty much the same premise as that show White Collar, which is the same premise as It Takes a Thief, which was probably the same premise as something else.

I laid down for awhile
And I woke up on the ocean
School of Fish's 'Three Strange Days' is a psychedelic pop rock gem. Released in 1991, this song is featured on their debut album School of Fish which propelled the Los Angeles based band into the spotlight. Led by lead singer and guitar player, Josh Clayton-Felt, School of Fish released their follow-up album Human Cannonball before disbanding in 1994. Sadly, Clayton-Felt died of cancer in 2000.
I've been a fan of this song since it was originally released. I purchased the cassette single for 'Three Strange Days' and the B-side was a very cool cover of Prince's 'Let's Pretend We're Married'. As a music fan, I'm disappointed that this song has been buried in the 90s alternative rock graveyard. In my opinion, 'Three Strange Days' still sounds great and should not be forgotten.

We've eaten and reviewed 8236 snacks from 1587 companies in 76 countries!
Shop for snacks: Buy Lay's at Amazon.com
Taste test: I'm not big on monterery pepper jack as a cheese gourmet, so am unclear about whether these actually taste like that flavor of cheese. However, there is a slight pepper kick to it, kind of like a jalapeno pepper, without all the heat associated with it. The chips themselves are standard Lay's, so they're not extremely greasy or extremely dry, they don't overpower the powder. Just enough spice to leave some heat aftertaste, this would be a good "starter chip" for someone who wanted to enjoy hot chips without having to race for a glass of water.
Aroma: There's an aroma there but I can't place it. Slighty cheesy?
Manufacturer: Frito-Lay North America, Inc.
Online store: Buy Lay's at Amazon.com
From the package: "Just north of Big Sur, California, you'll find Monterey famous for its dramatic coastline, emerald golf courses and tide pools that are abundant with marine life. Monterey also boasts a delicious namesake a mild white cheese with spicy chili pepper accents. Monterey Pepper Jack Flavored Chips are the perfect blend of the taste of this delectable cheese and original Lays potato flavor. Open up a bag and enjoy a true Northern California taste experience!"
Trivia: Go to www.lays.com to vote for the next two flavors in Lay's "Taste of America" brand.

HERE is her post. The original card was made with Black and White, but I wanted to use the new Concord Crush colour which is a new In Colour and will be around for 2 whole years (2010-2012). This colour is a very deep, deep, rich purple and it is gorgeous! I also used the stamp set "Punched Posies" which is a hostess set from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini catalogue which is in effect until August 31st. Also En Francais background stamp, Whimsical Words set, and some Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon. The Scallop Circle and the 1-3/8" Circle punches were used for the sentiment. The 1", 3/4", 1/2", and the Itty Bitty Circle punches were used to punch Concord Crush pieces to put in the middles of the stamped images. What an effective, card!
Thanks, two more cards to go, and I will publish them over the next couple of days. I hope your "summer" is going well. Enjoy the sun, and your family and friends.
Bye for now.................. Glenda Mollet

Were cosmonauts killed in space? Nyet.
The Straight Dope recently debunked the theory which asks : Are there really "Lost Cosmonauts" stranded in space?
I'd already heard of the website Lost Cosmonauts. It's interesting, but it proves nothing. I don't know Russian, but after hearing the website's audio files, I became very skeptical as all the alleged dying cosmonauts seem very calm despite what is allegedly supposed to be going on.
But, you may be interested in reading how this theory could come about. And, as Cecil notes, the Soviets were always reticent about the accidents that did happen in their space program, so it's not like the theory is completely off base.

A living will, or directive to physicians, is a document that allows you to instruct your physicians not to use artificial methods to extend your life in the event you are diagnosed with a terminal or irreversible condition.
A question I often get asked is whether an advice directive signed in another state is considered valid in Texas. It is.
The Texas Health and Safety Code specifies that an advance directive or similar instrument validly executed in another state or jurisdiction will be given the same effect as an advance directive validly executed under the law of Texas. However, the statute does not authorize the administration, withholding, or withdrawal of health care otherwise prohibited by the laws of Texas.

Northampton Town get back in action on Saturday 10th March as they travel to high flying Bristol Rovers for a League One match.
Northampton have had a mini break recently, as last Saturday's match away at Blackpool was one of several fixtures postponed following the "Beast from the East", so a return to footballing action is welcome for the Cobblers. However, they face a Bristol Rovers side who are hitting form at the right time, winning 3 of their last 5 games, and finding themselves just 4 points off Plymouth in the League One playoff positions.
Furthermore, Bristol Rovers were one of only six League One sides to play last weekend, as their fixture against struggling MK Dons went ahead despite the weather, and an Ellis Harrison wonder strike sealed the 3 points for the Pirates and further condemned the Dons to a seemingly imminent relegation.
Its getting towards the business end of the season now for both sides, with Rovers hoping to continue their run of form and fire themselves into the playoffs, whereas Northampton face a tense battle to stay afloat in League One. In terms of the playoff battle, just 4 points separates 6 sides between 6th and 11th.
Plymouth Argyle have made the most of their rivals stuttering form, with their terrific run of 5 successive wins coming at a time where the others hit poor form. Bradford are winless in 5, Peterborough and Charlton have only won 1 of 5 matches and Portsmouth have only won 2 out 5. The other side to benefit from this? Bristol Rovers, whose run of 3 wins and 1 draw from 5 games has seen them fired right into the mix.
If results go Rovers way on Saturday, they could find themselves just 1 point outside the playoffs and in great form. In terms of the relegation battle, MK Dons and Bury both look as though they need miracles to survive, therefore the next two relegations spots are up for grabs. Rochdale also look cut adrift, but with 4 games in hand and an impressive win over Walsall in midweek, relegation for the Dale might not be as forgone as it seems. However, I do believe that they have too much to do, simply because they realistically need 5 or 6 wins in their last 15 games to be in with a chance of survival, and they've only managed 6 wins in 31 games this season. In that case, its just the one relegation spot to be decided.
Fleetwood currently occupy that spot, with Northampton and AFC Wimbledon level on points just above them. With Fleetwood appointing survivalist John Sheridan as new manager, they look to give survival a real go, meaning it could go down to the wire for Northampton, who could find themselves in the bottom four with a defeat on Saturday.
So, at both ends of the table, this looks to be a huge game.
There is even more significance attached to this game, as the last two meetings between these sides have been embarrassing for the Cobblers. In January 2017, in the last meeting at the Memorial Ground, Bristol Rovers beat the cobblers 5-0, and followed this up by going one better at Sixfields, winning 6-0 in October, with Ellis Harrison scoring 5 across both games. This result is still fresh in the mind of Cobblers fans, as it came back at the start of Hasselbaink's reign and was probably the worst performance this season.
Therefore, this game is a chance to see how far cobblers have come under Hasselbaink, as there has been plenty of squad changes since then, the main one being that the two strikers who started that afternoon, Alex Revell and Marc Richards, are no longer at the club.
In terms of team news, providing there's no injuries it will probably be a very similar line-up for Rovers, with January additions Tony Craig and Kyle Bennett hitting the ground running for Rovers, playing key parts in the win over MK Dons. Likewise, 19 year old midfielder Luke Russe looked impressive in the victory, as he strives to keep his place in the side. If Rovers are to go for it early on, we might see Rory Gaffney come in to partner Ellis Harrison from the start.
For Northampton, its diffcult to predict the line-up, as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink makes changes game on game. January addition Kevin van Veen has been rated as touch and go following a knee injury, and should he be fit, he will be raring to get his cobblers career going. Furthermore, in the wide areas Nottingham Forest loanee Gboly Ariyibi has looked impressive recently, and Legia Warsaw loanee Hildeberto Periera will be looking for his first start following his return from suspension.
There is also the John-Joe O'Toole factor to throw in as well, the ex-Rovers midfielder has been in fine form recently for the cobblers, and would love a goal against his old club.
Northampton's away form has been much better than the home form in recent weeks, with the way that Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink sets up his side being one reason why, so I expect a tight, cagey affair, a complete contrast to the game back in October, culminating in shared points between the two sides.

Why I Can't Stop The Music!
Fast forward..................
I found it - a week after activation. Of course it sounded terrible, just plain horrible. :( I was determined to find it again and make it better than before. So I took my husband's ipod video and set out to learn music again. It started with one song, "Little Jeanine" by Elton John. I pulled the lyrics up on the computer and sat and sang to the music. I listened to the this song, oh 30 to 60 times in one day. I kept it up until I understood the words and could pick up the piano. Oh how wonderful. Then slowly each day I added another song until my library is now 70. (thank you Minglewood for itune cards)
Now my latest obsession is the song "Everyone wants to rule the world" by Tears for Fears. I keep listening to it over and over and over and over again. I can't crack its code. I look at the lyrics, but somewhere in the middle I get lost. I also am overwhelmed by the fantastic instruments - the piano, the guitar, and the drums. Just something makes me listen around 70 times just yesterday. My husband who can hear the song through the ear buds, and I drove him completely crazy. Not a little, but the kind that he had ask me to leave the room so he could have some peace. Me - I just enjoyed another couple hours listening to the same song. I even had to listen one more time this morning walking to the office to go to my mailbox. And of course I made Vanessa and the kids listen to it again on the way home. So I need some new songs, please leave some suggestions. Please my husband begs you!

I like to read about how you use the music to learn to hear....
I also miss the music now. To me it lost it's magic sometime ago, not sure when, I have been stubborn you see....
But now I have given the music a rest until I get my CI's....

I find myself nervous about how music will sound for me. I'm passionate about it, and hope to hear well enough with the implant that my emotions swell just as readily as they did before. I also have some 80s favorites. But my all-time favorite musical group is Enigma. If you're not familiar with them, their first release, MCMXC AD, is probably their best, but I like all their releases. The tracks on their first release are enchanting and sensual. I especially like Back to the Rivers of Belief.

Here's several that I feel that has more vocals than instruments.
Hey Jude - Beatles
Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison
Imagine - John Lennon
Fallin' Out of Love - Reba McEntire
Fancy - Reba McEntire (very fast, but vocals are pretty good)
I Believe I can Fly - R. Kelly (Lots of bass, and I think it's very lovely)
Solitaire - Clay Aiken (Oh this song is awesome!)
Alone - Heart (I can follow some of the words, but not all. So this may be a "challenge" song)
I wish you BEST of luck...and I'm looking forward for MY activation!

Thanks all - I downloaded shout, imagine, and fancy. That will be my goal this week. I cracked the everyone rules the world code. Just can't stop listening to it.
My hearing loss was a downward sloping, so I lost a lot of frequencies. The best I can describe music is it had "holes" in it. I could not pick up high instruments. With CIs music sounds better no the best it can sound! There are no holes only harmony, pitch, beats, singing. I am very passioniate about music now. I can't go long without it. It is the most amazing sound.
All of you future CIs, music will come! It takes time, but worth it.
oh I am adding alone - love heart

Hello. 60-70 times a day! This is a number I hear from a song in a year! Obsessed, indeed to comprehend pseudo sounds. I do song interpreting in ASL and it helps me follow the lyrics and music. Can't do no wrong with the Beatles unless their vocals are too high frequency. Hey Jude is a good vocal track song. I posted a couple Beatles songs at side labels - Music at http://drmzz.blogspot.com/.
- January 11, 2008 at 10:23 AM
I'm excited about your music. You need to listen to Dave Matthews Band. If there are any other types of music / artists you want to listen to, let me know.
I read your other blogs, what a great way to share your thoughts. You've gone through a lot go get to where you are now and I'm very happy for you! You're a great teacher and friend :)

Honda Pilot Along With CR-V Both Give Inspirations To 2017 Honda Odyssey
The Honda Pilot and Honda CR-V both gave inspiration to the 2017 Honda Odyssey and so when it arrives it will offer up a great deal of the same technology. This may also include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, both found in the new Pilot.
If you go for the EX or above trims on the Pilot you get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. We cannot see the 2017 Honda Odyssey not offering up the same tech when it arrives. With the tech owners can use their phones maps, text and talk hands-free and listen to music from their handset.
The Honda CR-V cabin got a new look recently and it now looks more premium. The cabin of the 2017 Honda Odyssey may also be treated to the same look. People asked for the return of the physical volume knob on the vehicles and it came back with the Pilot.
We also heard that the 2017 Honda Odyssey could arrive in hybrid format and if this happens we expect it to compete with the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid.

I've just returned from three weeks of European menswear fashion shows, trade fairs, and market appointments in London, Florence, Milan, and Paris previewing the Fall 2016 collections. What an exciting season it was, filled with an especially rich variety of outerwear, tailoring, sportswear, shoes and accessories – all certain to inspire. Here's a quick preview of coming attractions for next Fall. -Bruce Pask, Goodman's Fashion Director
True West – The American southwest inspires colorful graphics, beading, and copper embellishments.
Decorated Officers – Boldly embroidered and colorfully patched outerwear with regimental gold buttons will let them know who's in charge.
That 70's Show – Statement pieces of the seventies like flared trousers, patched suede jackets, and band collar shirts have been given the 21st century treatment.
Belted Coat – Whether it's a classic trench in glen plaid or a single-breasted cashmere fly-front, coats looked great when cinched at the waist.
Shades of Brown – Varied hues of this rich, dark earth tone gave tailoring and coats a nice fresh look.
Shearling – Whether it's a simple collar and trim on a jacket or a fully lined coat, shearling outerwear will help you cozy up against the cold.
In The Navy – Classic, short peacoats and longer officer's coats in classic navy and black are definitely on active duty for Fall.
Velvet Goldmine – Eveningwear in rich jewel tones and classic black gets an extra sheen.
Made in the UK – Plaids, tartans, tweeds and other richly textured fabrics common to the British Isles saw a resurgence this season.

Foxton Locks to Black Horse Bridge
Having had the broken wheel of our sack barrow successfully repaired by Sam Matts of Foxton Boat Services we moved Hadar to Black Horse Bridge Foxton, ready for our Tesco Delivery tomorrow morning. We are contemplating getting another sack barrow as a standby as we can't cope without one.

I went to vote. Early voting cost me 45 minutes, which I gladly gave. I was in front of a delightful 5-year-old who was amazingly well behaved. (She wasn't voting; her mom was!) I found out she is the niece of a co-worker. It's trite because it's true, but the world really is small!
I still have the picture of Susan B. Anthony in my mind ready to kick my butt if I have any negative ideas or even think about complaining about anything to do with voting.
I did my 3.5 miles today. It was slow. I was running against the wind. Wow, and dodging UPS trucks. It was actually enjoyable and fun. It really feels good getting the Monday exercise in. It's easy to fall between the cracks.
I'm tired, so it's time for bed. I'm sure there's a rant in me nearer the end of the week.

|By Leon Stafford, The Atlanta
Journal-ConstitutionMcClatchy-Tribune Regional News
May 11, 2010 --When you see them, you can't help but "ooh" and "aah."
With their deep reds, bright oranges and seductive chocolate browns, signature drinks are colorful to the eye, pleasing to the nose and mouthwatering.
And for many metro Atlanta hotels, concocting signature concoctions is supporting the bottom line at a time when the industry is struggling to get back on its feet because of the economic meltdown.
Lodgers across the metro area say they are making hundreds of thousands of dollars on Mason Jar Marys, Peach Taquinis and other signature drinks.
The drinks are part marketing tool, part revenue generator and part brand identifier. Those who succeed can grow business by bringing in crowds who might stay a night or make a bar a neighborhood hangout.
And business is so good that many are broadening their offerings from one or two signature drinks per season to five, six or more.
"As we have seen declines in dinner revenue, we have seen more revenue in beverages," said Ellen Burke Van Slyke, corporate creative director of food and beverage for Loews Hotels. Loews, which opened its first hotel in Atlanta earlier this year, recently finalized its Lavender Drop drink after some tinkering to get the flavor right.
Increasing the signature drink menu could prove wise. Lounges bring in about 34 percent of hotel beverage revenue, according to PKF Hospitality, which surveyed more than 500 hotels with at least a half-million dollars in beverage sales last year. That bested the beverage revenue of hotel restaurants, which was about 30 percent.
In Atlanta, the cost of the drinks range from the $8 Veloci-tea at the Marriott Marquis to the $550-per-glass "Le Reve des Anges" Hennessey Ellipse cognac at XO Bar at the InterContinental Buckhead. To defray costs, hotels partner with spirit makers who discount the ingredients in exchange for advertising their product to customers.
"It's a high-margin item," said Spiro Frangos, executive assistant manager of the InterContinental Buckhead. "It drives revenue, but it also creates an experience that is authentic and gives a sense of place."
That sense of place is the marketing side of the signature drink business. Hoteliers spend months devising cocktails, looking for ingredients that say as much about the atmosphere in which the drink is consumed as they do about its taste.
Megan Gray, the food and beverage director at the St. Regis Atlanta, said she spent her first three weeks in Atlanta concentrating on the specialty drink menu, even creating the okra-infused West Paces Bloody Mary.
"We really wanted to be representative of our brand and to offer something with a Southern flavor for our location," she said.
During the recession, signature drinks often drove hotel visits. While few booked rooms, many stopped at the hotel bar for a drink.
"Even during the down economic times, these drinks allow people to have a taste of the W brand experience without having to spend the money for a night out in a luxury hotel," Marylouise Fitzgibbons, general manager of the W Buckhead said. The hotel created the "Take the Lift Home" package -- which includes a night's stay with pajamas and toothbrush -- specifically for visitors to its Whiskey Blue bar.
The drinks also break down barriers and make hotels, especially high-end properties, more accesible, said Ed Healey, assistant food and beverage director for the Rosewood Hotel at the Mansion on Peachtree in Buckhead.
Mark Castriota, hotel manager at the Marriott Marquis, the city's largest lodger, said the bartenders who create the signature drinks become the best sales people because they take ownership of their creations.
Joel Lindsey, bar supervisor at Trader Vic's at the Hilton Atlanta, said, "Having signature drinks enables us to stand out among our competitors and generate loyal customers who return specifically for our signature drink."

It's A Little Bit Funny
August 14, 2007
I find it a little ironic that the moment I decide to use the bathroom more frequently is around the same time I develop a bladder infection. Yes, the first three days of my official summer vacation were spent battling it out with this infection (told you it was bad!).
Saturday night I thought I was going to die. See, watching all those medical shows gives me a little bit of authority in the diagnosis field. So, I was pretty sure that I had gone past the stage of bladder infection, onto the more serious kidney infect and over the course of the night, my kidneys would shut down and I would die. I even called the public health nurse. She told me to go to a walk-in clinic the next day.
Sunday, I didn't actually get to go to the walk in clinic because I forgot to check if it was open and I had to pack up all my junk to go home. The ride home was by far the most uncomfortable car ride I have ever taken in my entire life. I felt nauseous, had a headache and I really had to pee. Anyway, we got to the restaurant (to have dinner with Andrew's cousin because he's leaving for Germany soon) where Andrew's mom confirmed my self-diagnosis (well, the first part of it - bladder infection). I spent the rest of the night drinking lots of water.
Monday - I decided to finally go to the doctor's. He wrote me a prescription for my infection and then told me to get my blood tested. I finally got the medicine thinking I was finally going to start feeling better. Then, an hour later, I couldn't breathe. So, being the newly pro-active person I am, I went back to the pharmacy who (because she's so darn useful) told me to go to the hospital (she told me this last time too, and likely the time before that as well. Ugh). I told my sister to drive ma and she told me to wait til she was done making her ice cream sandwiches (because, around here, we think we're invincible - food has priority). Then, I called my doctor who was equally as helpful. He asked if I had allergies to medication and I said, not that I know of, and he said, then I can't tell you what's wrong. Well, duh! If I knew what it was, I wouldn't have to call you!
However, I am glad to announce that I am feeling much better, aside from the frequent need to run to the bathroom. I also think that the Big Guy up there has quite a sense of humour.

8 Advantages Of Writing In A Journal Or Diary
The retailization of healthcare has challenged the trade by making a aggressive marketplace where the patron is king. There's more to proper diet than weight; nonetheless it is very important to understand that if a girl is chubby or underweight, her fertility is likely to be impaired. If you end up chubby, the fat cells produce and launch excessive ranges of oestrogen which impede the production of an important hormone referred to as the Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). FSH is required for ovulation (the release of the egg for fertilisation). When no egg is released, fertilisation can't occur and there's no baby. When you're underweight, the alternative happens, the body produces less hormones than is needed and again ovulation is affected.
We all know that that smoking is unhealthy for our health. But before one makes the choice to quit smoking positively it`ll nonetheless have an excellent distance to stroll.

Failure and Success
One of the toughest challenges that you can face in life is getting back up from being knocked down. A particular quote that has always stuck with me is: 'Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.' Yes, it is from Batman however that does not take away from the meaning of it. It has various meanings, the depth of it is brilliant, something that you can tell your child to encourage them to learn from their mistakes. As you grow there are many opportunities to make mistakes and learn from them and that is the best way for anyone to learn something.
Recently I have taken a couple of falls, situations that have made me feel particularly low and with no motivation to pick myself up again. More than anything I just wanted to wallow, I wanted to feel sorry for myself and not to try again because I couldn't face the failure, but as so many people told me; that isn't how you deal with it.
'Keep moving forward' is another quote that has stuck with me, it may be from the B-list Disney movie 'Meet the Robinsons' but nonetheless it is a quote that I am reminded of in certain times. Failure is something that everyone encounters, not everything goes right all the time and we all have different ways of dealing with it. I used to grab a bottle of wine and watch a sad film but what did that get me? A hangover yes, but nothing of benefit, nothing that made me think that my choice was a good idea so why do it? You have to keep moving forward, you have to not let something stop you with your aim and continue no matter what.
Failure could be considered just a state of mind, you're not failing you're just learning what not to do. I once learnt 3 ways not to feed a cat and 2 ways not to use a treadmill and I am still using that knowledge today, valuable lessons you can only teach yourself. Failure is just getting you one step closer to success, everything takes time and learning is the best way forward.
I spent months telling myself that I was better than what I was doing, that I can do so much more so I made my decision of what I wanted to do. I was fed up with people telling me that I am young and I have plenty of time to do what I want, but why let someone tell you what you can and can't do? I want to reach my full potential and I don't want anyone telling me otherwise, no one should accept that. I used all of this to move onto my success. I finally managed to progress and take the step forward in the direction that I wanted to, it made me incredibly happy and proud to know that all my hard work had finally paid off.
Using failure to your advantage is the best thing that you can do in life. Let my ironic Batman quote inspire you, my cheesy Disney quote motivate you and the story of my success to encourage you to continue with whatever it is you do. I know that I'm no best-selling author or popular blogger but I want to do my best to help others to not give up on what they want to do. The more that you try, the more likely you are to succeed, don't give up on anything without giving it 200% because if you don't give everything that you've got then you will never know what you were capable of and how far you could go. Use failure to move forward and get to where you want to be!

Today was the first day back for the monkeys.
A day of mixed emotions, Jennifer was ecstatic to be returning to her friends, Jilly-Bean was apprehensive(as you can see in the above photo).
Standing in line my baby grabbed me for dear life and cried big crocodile tears. Keeping my composure I comforted her and sent her to the door, walking away trying to fight back tears. Talking to her teacher later in the day she told me that as soon as Jill went into the school the tears stopped and she was fine.
Jen on the other hand went to her line, didn't want Mom to kiss or hug her, not in front of her friends(yeesh Mom??)LOL.
The first day of school was fantastic, they came home so excited and they love their teacher, yes!!

Technicals - Major banks in overbought territory - Reason for caution
With the exception of WBC, the other three major banks are located in overbought territory on a RSI basis which is reason for caution relating to the sustainability of the rally. Between 20 - 22 December, major bank stocks reached technical buy signal target levels , completing technical trades. (The buy signals were most recently generated in September and October). The major banks are currently rated as technical holds. The RSI is not a timing or turning point indicator - it flags when overbought situations occur, and when momentum has moved to an extreme, but it does not provide an indication of when this overbought situation is likely to correct. A technical top formation is the requirement for a technical sell signal to be triggered. There are currently no signs of technical top formations emerging on the major banks. The CBA chart below highlights it is located at the same overbought levels that occurred in late 2013, mid-2014 and early 2015 - which is reason for caution relating to the sustainability of the rally. ANZ and NAB are similarly positioned.
