Canadian author Mark Fuller Dillon approached me and explained that he'd published a collection of stories on Smashwords. He asked if I could recommend any way to promote the ebook. I told him that, if he sent me a copy, I would read it and - if I liked the stories - I'd put a review on my blog. So, here it is.
In A Season of Dead Weather consists of seven stories, all of which might loosely be termed supernatural or weird fiction. They all skirt the ill-defined boundaries of horror, fantasy, and the thriller. They are all of a very high literary standard, too. It seems that there is a new 'Canadian wave' in the field of quiet horror, and that's a good thing.
The first story, 'Lamia Dance', offers a fairly conventional beginning - a lonely medical student escapes the pressures of intense study by going to a cinema. The short feature, however, is a bizarre and disturbingly erotic fantasy that affects the protagonist so severely that he leaves before the main feature. I can't really describe the strange power of this story, but that's true of all of them, really. Suffice to say that the concept of the lamia is used to very good effect.
'Never Noticed, Never There', has a slight hint of Richard Matheson and The Twilight Zone, with its account of an ordinary suburban male who leaves home 'on a wet Sunday afternoon in April', and vanishes without trace. In a more conventional tale this might lead to an account of abduction by aliens or vampires, but here things are much odder. The man's wife becomes convinced he is still alive, somewhere in the fabric of the house. Later, a different person finds evidence that the missing man has somehow been absorbed into a strange ur-world that exists alongside everyday reality.
'Shadows in the Sunrise' sees someone setting out to walk across country on a late autumn day. We learn, through incidental detail, that this is the near-ish future, a world struck by the Great Deflation, a world of power cuts and self-canned goods. Stranger shadows gather. A strange light dazzles. Winter comes. Has the outer world been destroyed? Has some alien force taken over? Or is the mysterious lattice work in the sky a symptom of madness brought on by chronic isolation? Perhaps one person, too much alone, makes their world afresh.
'When the Echo Hates the Voice' is different again, offering something a bit more like a conventional horror story. First we hear from an obstetrician who, when he delivers his first baby, hallucinates a bizarre entity. Then comes the account of the baby growing to be a smart, popular boy, albeit one with a penchant for drawing strange, disturbing faces. He is convinced that something is seeking to destroy or possess him. Here the author places his thumb on the balance to make clear that there is more than madness at work.
Another rural tale, 'What Would Remain?', is enlivened by Dillon's gift for descriptive writing. Too often writers let down a good idea with poorly-realised settings and a too-vague account of who goes where and how they do it. This story of a woman searching for her mother in foul weather harks back to Blackwood's pantheist/animist notions, but is much bleaker. The idea is that the earth might be cleared of human beings, but perhaps some will be left.
'The Weight of Its Awareness' is - here it comes - a slightly Aickmanesque story of a middle-aged man trying to visit a walled off residential area that aroused his interest when he was young. He finds that a fondly-recalled park is now cluttered with weird sculptures. And what lurks behind the blank windows of the strange, quiet houses? Something that knows you, and knows what you fear.
'The Vast Impatience of the Night' is almost cosy in its evocation of a group of young widows in rural Canada (a landscape Dillon clearly knows and finds inspiring, much as Lovecraft was inspired by rural Vermont). But what makes so many women widows? There is, again, a whiff of science fiction here, but it is reminiscent of the deliberately transgressive 'New Wave' writing of the late Sixties and early Seventies.
I enjoyed this collection, not least because I felt I was sharing the imaginative world of someone who doesn't seek easy answers or rely on obvious gimmicks. I hope you'll give Mark Fuller Dillon's stories a chance. Like many good short story writers, he is unlikely to ever receive the considerable backing of a major publisher, despite being vastly more gifted than the average bestselling hack.

Then, simply enter (on Linux) ./configure --host=arm-linux (any other options you want here) ---> Basically after you download and build their toolchain, if the directory above is in your $PATH software packages should buld as any other. It worked so far building bash. It seems to build other software as well, but I haven't tried all of them on the actual unit. Building their toolchain is done using a "make menuconfig" like building a kernel. Would ffmpeg work with this system? Thanks. P. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Your body is your greatest creation. The Gift of manifesting our dreams begins with our body. Every intent and thought molds your future and your body's place in it. The DNA in the cells are actively changing. Learn more about them and your future in this article.
Cellular Intelligence and DNA Activations
by Dr. Robert V. Gerard
Silently within, the unseen mechanisms of your cells and their DNA direct your biological and psychological operations. Each moment, your body processes trillions of bits and bytes of information electrically, chemically, and psychologically. The age of Cellular Intelligence is upon us. It's about time we recognize this great gift, and take advantage of it.
Aristotle claimed, "... we are born into this world completely empty..." inferring that it's our life experiences that fill the empty being. From the moment of conception, your internal DNA computer began to record every single event beyond its original structure. At birth, you were nearly a perfect babe, as to your physical and basic psychological components. Every perceived emotion, whether generated by your senses or those from the external environment (observations, beliefs, traumas, events, conditioning, social scripting, etc.) are registered and collected into your cells and your DNA. Then your senses began to absorb the environment.
The American Museum of Natural History states that "...most of the human race has 99.9% of the same DNA coding, indicating approximately 0.1% variation among individuals." Thus, out of the 3 billion pairs of possible genetic codes, only about 1 million pairs define the structural differences between us. Additionally, much of our world has nothing to do with genes, but rather with our unique experiences. More importantly, your psychological apparatus of "belief" and the cognitive functions of perception were ready and waiting to be used. This was how your unique life began, filling the empty storage bins of belief by what you perceive and what you experience. Every emotion and feeling you generated and perceived has been registered within your cells since conception.
By and large, we are our environment. At the cellular level, we gather environmental input via protein cell receptors. These receptors serve as antennae for the cell. They receive external information. Pioneering research by cell biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton, has clearly defined the role of protein receptors and how chains of amino acids within the living cell reconstruct the proteins, which in turn, influence the cell's behavior to adapt to its environment.
Proteins carry out a myriad of tasks from cell communication to transporting molecules. Our DNA, via the process of transcription, sends messages called (mRNA) to communicate to the cell. The cell adapts by translating the mRNA into the necessary proteins that, in effect, change the behavior of the cell function. Our internal DNA library responds to its environment, changes its structure, and sends messages to reshape itself, and ultimately, you.
As you mature, you create a past and a future. You consciously and unconsciously fill up your life with past memories and future expectations. In this trial and error progression, you learn and gather information; some of it is beneficial, some is not. Not only do you become what you eat, but also what you perceive and experience. Those experiences that do not serve your highest good must be eliminated. But how? If these experiences are permanently recorded in your DNA, how do you get them out of there?
Dr. Bruce Lipton claims that awareness and perception are fundamental genetic determinants. He has demonstrated that environmental information is transduced into cellular behavior by the cell's membrane. Dr. Lipton clearly describes how evolution is distinctly modeled in the structure of the cell membrane and involves consciousness. The results of Dr. Lipton's work reveals how positive perception truly facilitates healings, vitality, and self-realization on the cellular level and beyond.
Since 1997, I have been pioneering the psychological effects of DNA enhanced by DNA Activation techniques. This simple, safe, and effective technique has favorably changed the lives of over 75,000 people worldwide. DNA Activation utilizes a narrative protocol process that integrates your intent, imagination, and heart-driven emotion. In my latest book, Change Your DNA, Change Your Life!, I present this unique technique plus many other complementary techniques that help stimulate the communication between mind and body with consistent results.
The DNA Activation serves as a unique self-empowerment tool. Once performed, it becomes a permanent process and catalyst for automatic change. Therefore, the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies continually purge and renew naturally. This harmless, natural biological and psychological process generates spontaneous and subtle transformation for several years or more.
"What is well established in the molecular biology community, but unknown to most people, is the fact that the primary structure of DNA does actually change," (Hartman, 1975; Wintersberger, 1991). Research gathered by Glenn Rein, Ph.D. states "…we are therefore not necessarily stuck with the genetic blueprint passed down to us from our parents. … It was also demonstrated that imagery as well as intent was a critical component of the states of consciousness which produced biological effects." Current information substantiates that mind and matter must work in concert. They are not separate, and that much believed myth has had its day! Change is real! Your human biology guarantees it. Your mind-heart can do it!
How do you rid yourself of unwanted beliefs, social conditionings, malfunctioning scripts, emotions, and yes, diseases? How do you change cellular behavior within yourself? The answer is simple—change your mechanisms of perception and thought—indulge in the realms of self-empowerment and self-healing. You must learn that just as your cells absorb their environment, change, and adapt you, the process can be reversed. The challenge here is not based on the process, but on the hardcore social belief that this process cannot be undone. Fortunately, you now have the help, guidance, and a wealth of proven techniques.
By now, you're probably wondering "How can I detoxify? Purify? What can I do?" Well for starters, Let's enhance the way you set your intent, think, imagine, perceive, and most important, stay conscious in every moment within your environment. Below are a few helping hints to guide you:
1. Setting your intent: make sure your intent is pure. The intent holds the path of thought and must represent the thoroughness of your purpose.
2. Positive thoughts: you've heard this before, now read carefully: thoughts manifest thought-forms. What you think generates your experiences. Create your tomorrows blissfully, avoiding negative problem generating thoughts.
3. Imagination: every holographic picture your brain produces sends impulses to your primary glands (pineal, hypothalamus, pituitary), which in turn manufacture neurohormones, adrenalines, and endocrines that can influence cellular behavior.
4. Perception: whatever you perceive is permanently recorded in your cellular memory until you eliminate it. Create an environment that offers you the most opportunity to feel and experience peace and realize your freedom. Focus on the good and beautiful.
5. Staying conscious in every moment: stay aware of your reality. Every event has something in it for you to experience, learn, and grow by. Do not let life slip past you. You're the captain of your ship and you must know where you are at all times.
With these "Hints," I've only touched the surface, though I'd like to reinforce the notion of imagination for you. Imagination, one of the most under-used self-healing tools, provides excellent benefits for detoxing physically and emotionally. In addition, non-repetitious, focused prayer serves extremely well to assist in the purification process. Shamans even consider chanting and music as purification techniques, since the vibratory rate of sound offers healing attributes to release emotional blocks and stress from the cells.
So far, you have not taken any aspirins or drugs. Hopefully, you have opened your mind and become more aware of the many new possibilities available to you. Your cells have intelligence. They adapt to their environment. They can change their behavior. They can serve you in your quest for better health, more joy, and abundance.
Your key motivator, however, is the fact that you are accountable for your own health. Over 75% of all visits to medical agencies could be eliminated if each individual became accountable for his or her own treatment and healing. This can be done. It requires a change in your belief system. It requires you to learn how to trust yourself. It's my whole-hearted suggestion that you embrace a more precise understanding of how to live life positively and consciously. It's time for you to do your homework. As Dr. Bruce Lipton and I have explained, there are tools to effect change at a cellular level. With these tools you become the architect of your own destiny. How free do you really want to BE?
—In Peace,

The Phlebotomy program at CFCC helps students learn the skills needed for the proper collection of blood and other specimens used for diagnostic testing. Emphasis is placed on ethics, legalities, medical terminology, safety and universal precautions, health care delivery systems, patient relations, anatomy and physiology, and specimen collection. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate competence in the theoretical comprehension of phlebotomy techniques. The purpose of the club is to help students do things related to phlebotomy in the community and on campus. Students will also raise funds through the club to help off-set some of the costs of the National Certification and a pinning ceremony.

Serpent GT Cup Championship Australia 2016 was proudly supported by Walter RC Hobby. The Championship was held in John Grant International Raceway located at Moorebank, Sydney. Serpent GT Cup championship consisted of 3 rounds of races using points score system. The championship driver's title awarded to the driver who has scored the highest number of points.
Since the entry was limited to the "RTR" spec chassis, which is based on the Serpent standard RTR edition. We have many new racers joined this competition. Walter RC has provided technical support for engine run in, engine tuning and car setup advice. The rule was followed the same as Asia GT Cup which limited to Serpent Novarossi pull-start engine and Dragon RC Tune pipe with controlled Rubber Tires. In order to limit the cost for racing, all optional parts were limited to handling upgrade, like different springs and anti roll bar were allowed.
More than 25 racers have attended the competition. As using the same platform, it has given an advantage to more experience racers.
The competition was on between David Chen and Tommy Lee. David Chen, who has finished third in 2015 Australia National title in 1/10th 200mm Nitro Tourer. Tommy Lee, who has been racing for more than 25 years and also A-main finalist in many states and National title in 1/8th Class.
Round 1 (1st May 2016)
It was an exciting qualifying session and a very close race. With everyone running the same engine, it was only a second apart from the top two drivers. Finally David Chen has the honoured to become the first TQ of this series. Unfortunately his tune pipe was damaged by the slower car during the 20 Minutes final. Tommy Lee has taken the win for the first round. David Chen finished second and Chris Ciappara finished third.
Round 2 (20th Aug 2016)
With the experience of the first round, the qualifying time was getting closer between drivers. Time separate between top 3 by less than a second. However David Chen was still performed the best overall and taken over the TQ. Tommy Lee was right behind in the second position. In the 20 minutes final, Tommy Lee's engine flamed out during the start. David Chen took the comfortable lead and won by a lap. Final results David Chen took the win, Tommy Lee finished second and Rob Russel finished third.
Round 3 (5th Nov 2016)
We came to the final round of the championship. Tommy Lee and David Chen both have the same score in the final point. Tommy Lee has a better lap time in the last qualified. However due to engine issues, TQ was handed over to David Chen. In the 20 Minutes final, David Chen has taken an easy win on the last round. Final results, David Chen finished First. Tommy Lee took the second. Rob Russel finished third.
After 3 rounds of racing. David Chen won the final champion who will represent Australia to attend the Serpent Asia CUP in Hong Kong.

I spent a fantastic weekend in Detroit attending the Third Man Records Grand Opening for their new record pressing plant (more on that amazing experience in a future post), only to return to a fantastic review of my book over at The Kenyon Review:
Like a cinematographer building a film entirely on the muzzy images of extreme close-up shots, Stucky has vanished scenes and subjects to build a suspense of mood. He pulls from Eastern religious texts, mysticism, and the occult, and casts dirty, hallucinatory images onto graceful lines about love, resulting in a collection that is empathetic, nuanced, and wild.
It's wonderful to see reviews still coming out on my book, but even more so when I read one that took its time digging into not just the gestures in the lines but the influences behind them. Though I don't know her personally, I feel lucky to have had a critic as caring as Jenn Mar pickup my collection and write about it.

Companies are continually pushing forward their universal baseplate technology to accommodate the growing number of cinema cameras in the market. Standard practice these days are rosette mounts, 15mm rod ports, a quick release/adjustable dovetail plate, VCT compatibility, and a comfy shoulder pad. So what's the problem? The weight.
"Everyone else is trying to make a baseplate that would do everything for everybody" said Jon Britton, the lead designer of Rush Design's VCT Baseplate. "They ended up being clunky and heavier than they need to be". Rush's anodized aluminum baseplate weighs in at a feathery 302g (0.66 lbs) out of the box with the universal mounting plate, and 427 g with all 4 of the adjustable Kipp levers installed.
Rush Design, a full service design, engineering, and fabrication shop in based in Brooklyn, New York developed their baseplate in collaboration with the shooters at production powerhouse Zero Point Zero (Parts Unknown, The Mind of a Chef, etc). "They preferred to have a lighter weight, purpose built device to shoot off the shoulder and then drop it on to tripod with a VCT plate", he said.
The result of the collaboration between Zero Point Zero and Rush Design is a no frills lightweight VCT baseplate. And by no frills, I mean no shoulder pad. The plate comes with industrial velcro on the bottom for the attachment of a shoulder pad of your choice. When asked why they didn't include one Britton remarked, "We used to include one, but customers seemed to want to make their own solution for how they specifically were working".
Leave it up to camera folk to customize their rig to the very material that touches their shoulder. I'm still in R&D mode to figure out what works for me, but I've seen cut up sleeping pads and custom leather solutions on other operator's plates.
Using the Rush VCT plate has been a bit of minimalist bliss. I dropped the smartgrip on my Sony FS7 in favor of rods and a rosette bracket flanked by wood from Kinogrip two years ago to cut weight. I like to keep a compact rig for news and doc shooting. The Rush VCT Baseplate is a continued application this minimalist philosophy. The baseplate gives me the only things I need at this point: rod ports, VCT compatibility and a camera agnostic shooting platform that can adjust for the various balance points of a constantly shifting set ups.
After a few shoots I decided to part ways with my Vocas USBP-15 MKII for the FS7 (800 g /1.76 lbs). I believe the Vocas' plate may be the best mass produced universal baseplate on the market beating out Zacuto's VCT Pro baseplate (960 g 2.11lbs) due to its weight and the availability of a custom dovetail plate for the FS7's curved base. Do I miss the quick release mechanism of the adjustable dovetail featured on the the Vocas and Zacuto models? Of course, but I don't miss the weight of them.
Is the Rush Design VCT Baseplate for everyone? No, it wasn't ever designed to be. But it may be just right for you.
Want one? The base plate is available to order directly from Rush Design at the price of $550.00 USD for the baste plate and mounting plate. If you want 4 of the adjustable Kipp levers for easier adjustment. Add $50.00. Email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lemonade Therapy
I am a long time fan of Beyonce, but for some reason I didn't listened or watched Lemonade until 2 weeks ago. Despite my admiration for the artist, I was kind of over it: the drama around the alleged affair of husband's Jay-Z, the girl power mantra… I knew the film was certainly very good knowing Beyonce is such a perfectionist, the problem is I thought I knew what to expect. Then I read a couple of reviews and public comments about the album and my interest started to grow. Some people (especially women, women of colour) talked about mind blowing experience, that the world changed a bit after listening and watching Lemonade, that they could recognize themselves or someone they knew in each song etc… So I downloaded it, at this point I was dying of curiosity even if I was still convinced we saw everything of Beyonce's genius. And boy I was not disappointed. Everything from the music, to the styling, the casting (Serena Williams, Zendaya, Winnie Harlow, Michaela De Prince, Ibeyi's musical duo among others) or the storyline is just perfection to me. The image always seems to play between dreamy, romantic aesthetic (beautiful New Orleans landscapes) and rawness of unknowns real life with at times strange apparitions, disturbing atmosphere (dancers in trance in parking lot basement or the camera taking us slowly to long dark hallways). Whether it's an act or a fact, which we will probably never know, Beyonce embarks us in her inner soul healing journey, a sort of therapy. For the first time the superstar appears vulnerable, human like the rest of us, fighting her own demons, with sharp lyrics about her anger and facing her desillusions about the man she loves, but it's also a powerful testimony of black identity and a new era of strong black women who celebrate their heritage and ancestors. The fashion is another amazing aspect of the film: designers like Roberto Cavalli by Peter Dundas, Gucci, or Marc Jacobs mixed with vintage victorian style costumes largely contribute to the narrative of the story. What I also loved is how Beyonce looks natural, like her true beauty is revealed with a lot of sequences with minimal make up. She plays with tribal codes with the white painting faces reinforcing the African roots pride. I could talk hours about the album, all I want to say is I was profoundly moved and touched by Lemonade, it's a true masterpiece. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but those who are sensitive to creativity can't possibly stay indifferent to this film. Good job Bey!

Like that Dumbledore is gay, for instance?
There's something good and positive, something . . . oh, what's the word I am looking for here? Oh, right. Something TRUE. But oh no. She had to tell me that book seven was a musical, that Ginny is a robot, and that Ron is imaginary. She was keeping this tidbit to herself so she could show off at Carnegie Hall.
I promise you guys, if she shows up at the kitchen window when I'm at the UK office in a few weeks time, clawing her way toward my cereal, I am going to throw the neighbor's cat at her. Magic your way out of that one, J.K.
She delivered this news last night to a large audience of happy people, many of whom are from Scholastic—her US publisher and my new home. Luckily for me, I got to meet some of those people the day before. They had a lovely lunch for Scarlett and I. I was given a microphone and allowed, yet again, to ramble. Hopefully, they got the idea that I am a truth-teller, and I was only telling the world what J.K. told me. It's not like I lie.
At the end of the lunch, they gave me a huge blow up of Scarlett's cover to take home. A huge blow up of your book cover is not the best thing to walk down the street with if you are trying to be inconspicuous, but it looks GREAT in my apartment. Now Scarlett can stare at me from the other room, her eyes constantly telling me to GET BACK TO WORK and ANSWER TODAY'S QUESTIONS because it is still Ask MJ month.
I am on it.

What the--Angel is hotter than Spike. I mean, Spike did go to all that trouble to get his soul back, and I agree about the blooming onion. But Angel is hotter. ADMIT IT.
I had no idea when I said this that I would be starting a feud with the creator of my idol, Mia Thermopolis. But I can't back down on this one. I'm throwing down!
OK so last week Meg Cabot said in her blog that you had lucnh with her and E. Lockhart. Three of the best in one room, wicked!! Can you tell us about what she was really like and her views on zombies. Anyone who reads her blog knows how she feels about vamps.
See, this makes it even more awkward. I know Meg. I don't want to get all up in her grill about this, because I promise you, she can take me. It will not end well for me, even if she is wrong. (About this one point. Meg is generally right about most things. When she puts advice on her blog, I take it. So should you.)
Meg did not specifically say what her view on zombies was. This is wise. She must know that they could be anywhere, listening. E. Lockhart, of course, is a public enemy of zombies. When the Great Zombie War is upon us, she will be on the front lines.

Oh my goodness. Did you know that you have become a terrible, terrible influence on teenage boys? You must read this. Congratulations!
I am pleased to be of service! What's extra refreshing is that I know Guildford quite well. That is where the UK office is located, and where J.K. follows me around.
I would have been happy to go to the library and read the book aloud. Perhaps I should even offer this service to my handful of UK readers, as I only have one book out there. (Oscar has them all, but they are in his house, which is not a lending library.) UK friends, if you are out there, please write in and make yourselves known! Tell me what I can do for YOU.
have you seen disturbia??? omg!! after i saw that movie i went out and bought binoculers and i am totally spying on my new neighbors!! after the old ones moved, they built this huge garage thing right next to their house, actually it was BIGGER than their house, and i only see them go in there at night!! scary huh? i wonder what's in there...
I have seen Disturbia. I have been a fan and supporter of Shia LaBeouf for several years. Ask Daphne, she'll tell you. I said, "That Shia guy is the real deal" all the way back when Holes came out. I even sat through The Battle of Shaker Heights for him.
"A star!" I went on. "He's going to be a huge star! That kid is FUNNY. He has depth!"
Daphne just kept typing with one hand and dialing the phone with another and said "uh huh sure yeah whatever you say." And then she added, "Isn't he, like, twelve?"
Then he DID become a huge star, and now Daphne thinks I am a savant of stardomeness.
Also, Daphne is with me on the Spike thing. She may not have vision when it comes to stars in the making, but she knows her vampire hotness.
As for your neighbors . . . that large garage is actually a refrigerated unit to store body parts. They will claim it is for deer meat or bulk packs of hot dogs, but it is for human nuggets. MARK MY WORDS.

oh, i'm catherine by the way. in case you cared or anything.
I always care. You guys are the reason I come here.
here's my question(s): is Harrods an actual place in London, or did you make it up? or is it based on something, but you change the name? In all of your books, are the different places based on real places, or totally made up from the mind of author Maureen Johnson??
Like I said before . . . I never lie.
Harrods is incredibly real. It calls itself the biggest department store in the world, but I think that is false. It is the most confusing though, hands down. As proof of its real-ness, I offer this video of me inside of it with my agent, Daphne Unfeasible.

If you could choose any question to answer, what would you choose? Then answer it, please. =)
QUESTION: Dear mj, We, the makers of Vespas and Tazers, have gotten together with a few crazy scientists to make the Tezpa 3000, a combination Vespa-Tazer. Unlike a normal Vespa, this one does not sound like a hair drier when it runs—it GROWLS LIKE A LION. Also, it has invisible defensive shields to keep you from being killed by cabs if you are riding it down a New York Street. The handlebars are, of course, detachable pink tazers . . . but not that kind you can accidentally taze yourself with. They know you, and will immediately shut off when you are the target. In fact, they will only work on evil beings.
The Tezpa 3000 is designed to be completely fuel efficient. It is, in fact, the greenest mode of transport in the world, running on sunshine and unicorn hair and it emitting only good vibrations into the atmosphere. Worldwide use of the Tezpa could actually reverse global warming. The Tezpa comes in yellow, ice blue, pink, and mint green, and has a banana seat, a basket, and a bell. Would you like us to send you one in each color?

Are you possibly going to participate in NaNoWriMo this year?
NaNoWriMo is kind of my life. My version is called MjNoWriAllTheTime. Not because I am some kind of machine, but because this is my job. They should have some other kind of NaMo for those of us who are writers. I have been thinking on this problem, and here are some ideas.
NaNoBagzMo (National No Bags Month): This is one I have been thinking about for a while—I even mention it in Bermudez. It seems like every time I pick something up, even something as small as a container of milk, I get 60 plastic bags. I realize bags are just a small part of a larger issue of using too much packaging, but they seem like a good place to start. I wonder if I could go a month without accepting a bag. That would mean carrying some of the bags I already have with me and using them again. [It looks like my Secret Brother, Hank Green, is all over this! Check out his post on Ecogeek! Thanks, Maria, for the link!]
NaHelprMoMo (National Helper Monkey Month): This is a month in which I adopt and care for a Helper Monkey. (Free Monkey, though very much a monkey, is not a helper monkey. He is a monkey companion and consultant. There is a difference.) If you have a helper monkey you would like to volunteer for this cause, please get in touch at once!
NaDoSoScariMo (National Do Something Scary Month): Fear is our enemy. I know that is rich coming from me, as I am happy to list my many fears. But my listing them is the first step toward conquering them. Fear is the root of a lot of evils. In this month, you do something that scares you every day! It
Also, I seem to have invented a month with this Ask MJ thing. It was kind of an accident, but I am loving it!
Do you have any good ideas for a new month? Ask MJ rolls on, so please send them in! If I haven't answered one that you're asked, I still might! You never know!

Never judge a book by its cover. That's what we teach our kids, right? Well, sometimes we need to take our own advice. I attended a LOCASH show last weekend at Paradise Cove inside the River Spirit Casino Resort in Tulsa, OK and I'll be the first to admit that I didn't expect to love it. Don't get me wrong, I really like their music, and their song "I Love This Life" has become my theme song, but I just didn't expect to like them live. Maybe it was the tennis shoes, backwards ball caps and tattoos, but I had a preconceived notion that they might be the kind of country artist who walks around on stage trying too hard to be gangster. While there isn't anything wrong with that style, It's just not my cup of tea. Boy, was I wrong!
From the moment they stepped on stage, the duo, made up of Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, were absolutely captivating. Right out of the gate they got the crowd involved singing the "oh oh" parts of "Ain't Startin' Tonight" and after that, it was nothing but fun for the next hour and a half. They played "You Gonna Fly," the first No. 1 song they wrote for Keith Urban, "All Day," a new song from their album The Fighters, and their own No.1 hit "I Know Somebody." They were entertaining on stage, sounded great, and the crowd was enjoying it.
The real fun started with "Drunk Drunk," a song they admitted to writing when they were "hammered." As you might expect, Preston Brust grabbed a drink from someone in the crowd, carried it around and chugged it down at the end. Now, this wasn't a little cup of beer, it was a huge hurricane glass. After the song, he apologized to the lady for taking her drink and joked she should go get another, and maybe bring back enough for him. He suggested that while she was at it, she should bring enough for the whole band too. About 10 minutes later she returned with a drink for both singers. But it didn't stop there. After accepting the new drinks, out came the beverage crew from the casino on stage with full hurricane glasses for each band member. At this point, Preston Lucas had two drinks, and the audience started yelling "Chug! Chug! Chug!" The glasses provided liquid nourishment for them throughout the rest of the evening.
After their current single "Ring on Every Finger" and "Truck Yeah," the top 10 hit they wrote with Chris Janson for Tim McGraw, came the most interesting band introductions I have ever seen. They started off with a cover of ZZ Top's "Tush" and then each band member took turns showing off their talent. In addition to the traditional guitar and drum solos, Preston Brust hopped into the crowd and found audience members to decide whether each band member was to stay or go – American Idol style. While each solo was happening, he wandered through the crowd, stood on the seats, and found an empty seat and took selfies with whoever wanted one, while Chris Lucas, who is a fantastic dancer, was showing off his moves at the side of the stage. The solos were pretty incredible too. The guitarist, a Tulsa native, performed his solo while drinking from two hurricane glasses and drummer Harry Miree, who had only just started touring with the band that week, impressed the crowd and won the approval "he's a keeper" from the audience member judge.
Perhaps the most extraordinary part of the night came when they sang the title track to their album "The Fighters." They started off by dedicating it to all the current and past military personnel. You can tell by the speech they made that the men and women of the armed forces hold a special place in their hearts. As the song began, a young man dressed in fatigues came up through the crowd and was brought on stage. As they sang, he was so moved by them that he pulled off two patches from his sleeves and gave them each one. Once it ended, the crowd chanted "USA! USA!" The emotional roller coaster continued as they talked with the soldier, whose name was Jesse, and asked him which song he wanted to hear. He chose "I Love This Life," so they obliged. But instead of him leaving, they made him stay on stage and on a whim Preston Brust gave him his guitar as a thank you and sang the chorus with him, sharing a microphone. There could not have been a more perfect ending to the evening.
LOCASH truly knows how to entertain a crowd. Some may say they talked too much, but I think it was a perfect mix of music and dialogue. They are very funny and can use that to win over someone like me that wasn't so sure what to expect when I walked in the door. You can tell that it is not scripted and that, to me, makes it so great. You get a different and personalized show every night. The songs may be the same and their harmonies are spot on, but if that's all you want, download their album or buy their CD. If you want an experience that makes your cheeks hurt because you smiled for so long, then go see their live show. Thank you LOCASH for proving me wrong. I went from liking your music to becoming a super fan that will make it a point to never miss another show in my area again.

Last night we did our 5th of 5 shows in Scottsbluff, NE.
We were in Grand Island, NE the night before!
Bismarck, ND the day before. It's May and it was snowing in Bismarck!
Even though it was cold it was one of our favorite audiences on the tour! They were engaged and connected the whole time. They even laughed at all Shaun Groves jokes which is saying a lot.
Shaun and I have enjoyed picking on each other throughout the whole tour. He is one of the most decent people I know. He is a preacher, he has a huge heart for the Compassion children he shares about every night,
and he's got a great dry sense of humor! If you enjoy singer/songwriters you'll want to get his new CD Third World Symphony. It's only $5!
Aaron Shust finishes the first half with his band. Aaron has a great heart and is very sincere. He really wants to honor God and make sure He gets all the glory. He has a new worship CD coming out August 23rd (same day as ours). The title track Take Over, is one of my favorites, which you can pre-order now!
To unwind Aaron and Shaun have to sing White Cross songs EVERY NIGHT on the bus:) Day one was fine, day 11, come oooonnnn! Also pictured Weston, Duffy, Nate, and Ben.
We have a new CD Hope of the Broken World which you can pre-order now.
It's been fun doing our new songs. You never know how people are going to react. We've been doing three of them. Shelter Me is a bluesy, dirty, sittin' on the porch song. Hope of the Broken World is very reflective on who God is. I Look To You is our power ballad. Amy sings lead on it and has been Amazing!! She hits notes that are illegal and she's received a standing ovation every time she's sung it.
Compassion has been a huge part of this tour and so far 650 kids have been sponsored by these incredible people who've come to our concerts! That is 650 lives changed so far, and when you multiply that by their family members and the impact those kids will make on their community's it's immeasurable.
Now for the 20 hr drive home. Friday May 6th we're at St. Matthew Church in Glendale Heights, IL, and Saturday May 7th at Chillicothe Baptist Church in Chillicothe, Ohio.
Thank you to everyone who has come out to see us,


text: Some things never go out of style. That's true of good grooming, good fashion, good music—and good ideas. In November 2005 the concept of a "1,000-ship Navy" was first floated in the pages of Proceedings by Vice Admiral John Morgan and Rear Admiral Charles Martoglio. Then-CNO Admiral Mike Mullen was a strong champion of the idea, telling an audience at the Naval War College in June 2006 that a global navy composed of forces from many nations standing watch around the world would enjoy great support. While it may have receded from the public's consciousness over the intervening years, with attention focused on ground combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and the various budget crises at home, the 1,000-ship Navy idea has enjoyed a lasting influence, as shown by many of our features in this month's international navies focus.

Breaking your neck can be a frightful drag. I certainly found it so. For a start, there are the mobility issues; the doctor told me I shouldn't ride a bike for 6 months for fear of falling off. I didn't even get that warning after I got hit by a lorry.
Reading the above, if you don't know my history you might be thinking I'm being flippant. And I suppose that, to a degree, I am. I was incredibly lucky, a compression fracture of C7, the same as Christopher Reeve, from a very similar accident; the strength of the muscles in my neck protected me from damaging the spinal cord. And that despite doing some very stupid things in the weeks following it happening. All this for another time. I want now to write about my ongoing recovery.

November 2013: South Park/
South Park, Pennsylvania
South Park's 2,013 acres were developed in isolated rural splendor in 1927. Today it is in the heart of the most populated area in the region outside of Pittsburgh proper. Earlier, in frontier times, Oliver Miller built a log cabin along Catfish Run in 1772. In the summer of 1794 musket fire erupted on the site by protesters of a new tax on whiskey to retire debts from the American Revolution. A militia of more than 12,000 men was assembled and George Washington took command to march on western Pennsylvania from Harrisburg. It was one of only two times a sitting President personally commanded the military in the field. The "Whiskey Rebellion" was squashed without opposition and signaled to the new American people that changes to the law would have to take place through Constitutional means or the government would meet such threats to disturb the peace with force. The Miller family owned the land until selling out to the County in 1927; a stone house built in 1808 remains a focal point of South Park.
Most dog owners content themselves with the easy walking along the more than two miles of bike path along Corrigan Drive through the center of the park. The thoroughfare is named for Douglas Corrigan who in 1938 took off from New York for California but landed in Ireland instead. He claimed it was a navigational error. In fact, "Wrongway Corrigan" was likely protesting bureaucratic red tape that denied him an overseas flying permit. To hike on natural surfaces try the wooded mountain bike paths along East Park Drive. If the trails are not crowded with bikes your dog can get about an hour of hiking on these sporty hills. If the wheeled traffic is too daunting, there are plenty of route options to cut your explorations short.
Your dog can't go in but you still may want to stop in to see the South Park buffalo herd. In the park's nascent days it seemed obvious that parks should have wild animals and that the ideal caretakers would be real Indians. The County brought two tribes of Indians from a Montana reservation to live in its parks when they opened in 1927. Chief Big Beaver and his tribe went to North Park, and Chief Wild Eagle and his tribe went to South Park with great fanfare. Thirty-six head of buffalo were trucked in by means of a motor caravan, led by a tank. Things quickly went awry, however. In North Park, the Indians cared for the herd as they had done for generations - killing animals they needed for food and clothing. The Plains Indians were sent home to Big Sky country.
Take PA 51 (Clairton Boulevard) south to Route 88 (Bownsville Road) and go west to park entrance at Corrigan Drive.

Fall Plastics
Kevin Dahlke (kevin)
BackWoods Sportsman OutDoors
When the fall season comes along, it is always a guess as to what we are going to throw out there into the water to catch a fish. Fall can be a tough time to fish as well as there are fall days that no matter what you throw for a bait, fish just chow on whatever you are throwing them.
If you happen to hit a day that the fish are on fire and eating everything in sight, just throw what they want and catch as many fish as you can. But traditionally for fall time baits they consist of crankbaits and spinnerbaits and if you dont feel liking casting and cranking all day, there is another alternative that may get overlooked and you will have in the boat at all times, the plastic bait.
Lets take a look at a few plastics that have worked well over the last handful of seasons and we are going to look at what BearPaw Hand Poured Baits has for these selections. We are going to take a look at five of their baits and give an idea of what can be done with these baits in your fall fishing.
Four of these are plastics baits which consist of the Hippie Stick, Lizard, Grizzly/Mega Jerk and the Load Toad. The fifth bait that BearPaw offers are the jig lineup that can be used with these and other of their plastics. So lets start out by taking a look at their jig offerings.
The Spiked Football Jig has been known to catch a lot of fish across the country and is able to use multiple various plastic baits on this jig. The action for this jig comes when the bait is lying on the bottom and the angler moves the line a little, this will make the back part of the jig flip upward while the head stays in position. What this creates is a bait that looks like it is moving into a defense position similar to what a crawfish does to protect themselves.
These jigs can and will be fished primarily around structure that may have little weeds around it. Rocks and gravel areas are prime places to fish this jig as the crawfish lives and frequents these areas consistently and bass know this. But this may also be fished in weeds and just need to make the bait weed-less by hooking the plastic bait over the hook point. The same effects will occur as working the jig in the weeds and you may be fishing this jig where others are afraid to put their bait.
Lets move onto a handful of the plastics that are fished regularly in the fall time when searching for bass. Next in line lets look at the Hippie Stick which is a straight plastic bait similar to the Senko style bait. These are generally fished weightless with spinning gear and can be casted with great accuracy in and around docks and overhanging objects.
Skipping is a great technique that takes some practice but once you acquire the skills to do this, any overhanging object, dock, tree, boat lift or anything else for that matter where, the fish that live in these areas are not safe anymore. Skipping is done by casting sidearm and having the bait hit the top of the water which will launch the bait along the surface as far as the line will allow it to go. It is very similar to skipping a rock and if you are able to do that, a little practice with a fishing rod and you will have this mastered.
The Hippie Stick is good for working along the shoreline with any type of structure that you can find to cast the bait at. By being weightless, the bait falls naturally through the water column and with each movement of the bait, resembles an injured baitfish as it is brought back to the boat. This bait really works well when targeting feeding cruising fish along the bank that are looking for that easy meal and also lets you take your time in working it through heavy cover as well.
Moving on to a creature offering lets look at the Lizard plastic bait that can be fished a number of ways. The most productive way to fish the lizard is on the Carolina Rig and this can be fished at any depth and through any type of cover as well. One feature that is poured into each of these baits is the fact that there is a floatation aspect to these baits and with the Carolina Rig; the bait is actually hovering above the bottom when being worked through whatever is being fished.
Fishing with the Carolina Rig this can be fished in shallow water as well as deepwater and through heavy vegetation as well. This rig allows you to cover good portions of water somewhat quickly and this allows you to put the Lizard in front of as many fish as possible. The Lizard is a bigger bait and offers the fall feeding fish a better meal as they are looking to fatten themselves up for the long winter ahead and this bait definitely aids in that process.
Lizard plastic baits are known to produce numbers of fish in the spring around the fishes spawning time but are great fall producers as well. Bigger baits work very well in the fall time and should not be over looked at all. As the fall rains have been plaguing us here, these bigger creature baits are great possibilities as these fish are looking for these tasty morsels that are being washed into our local waters.
The next plastic bait that we will take a look at is the Grizzly/Mega Jerk bait that is an injured minnow soft jerkbait imitator. This bait when worked through the water imitates an injured or dying minnow that darts to the left and right as it is being worked. Fall is a time when minnows and baitfish start schooling together and moving around the lake in search of warmer water and food. Also, as these schools are moving around some of the baitfish are dying as well and this
is what the bass are keying in on as they follow these schools around.
The Grizzly/Mega Jerk will be worked similar to the Hippie Stick, as it is casted towards objects and structure in the shallower water. Skipping this bait is another great way to get it into areas that are missed by many and are holding those better quality fish. This bait is fished weightless as well as weighted and fished in shallow and deep water as well.
Something that we have been experimenting with is fishing this bait on the Carolina rig in shallow water and has been very productive. This bait has that floatation feature in it as well as all of the baits and when fished behind the Carolina Rig, this gives an erratic motion of an injured baitfish. There have been some very nice fish caught with this technique as there arent many anglers fishing the Grizzly/Mega Jerk on a Carolina Rig.
The last bait that we will take a look at for Fall Plastics is the Load Toad which is a frog imitation. Bass are in love with the frog as this is a main staple in their diet and regularly available most of the season. This bait is fished weightless as well and worked on top of the water. As it is worked through the water the tail legs create good action and commotion which alerts the bass beneath that something is coming towards them.
Being this is a frog imitation, bass know what to expect when the fall season comes around. As the temperatures of fall start getting lower, frogs start their migration back to the lake shores. Frogs hibernate in the muddier lake bottoms and the predator fish know that they are coming and wait in anticipation for an easy meal. Other fish other than bass know this as well and when a fish explodes on the Load Toad, you could have almost anything on the line.
The Load Toad is great for fishing around lily pads in the fall as there is a tendency that these are growing in softer bottom areas that the frogs are looking for. Cast these bait up to shore and work it all the way through the surface vegetation and be ready at all times as you never know when the fish is going to hit. On those warmer fall days is a prime time to fish this as this shallow water is teaming with life. Topwater baits are always a lot of fun to fish and especially in the fall when they are hungry, hard fighting fish waiting below the surface.
Fall fishing can be feast or famine and I wont tell you that it isnt. There are going to be those days that you cant get a bite if your life depended on it, but when you hit those days that the fish are on fire, you will definitely be thankful that you were out there fishing instead of watching football. These nice fall days are going by to fast and why not take advantage of these remaining days before the water turns hard.
You fish plastics all summer long and why not fish them throughout the fall as well. By trying some of these out on your next outing, you may have an upper edge compared to your fishing partner.

Dr Alan Stephens is a Canberra-based historian. He has lectured and published extensively, and his work has been translated into more than a dozen languages. He is a former RAAF pilot.
Daesh in its present form will not survive, but it's likely to be with us for many years. And history tells us that right now the most practical thing we can do is simply contain it.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott's announcement that the RAAF has joined the air campaign against Islamic State should be greeted by Australians with a mixture of quiet satisfaction and concern.
Satisfaction because we're doing the right thing; concern because it's not clear if our Government understands the strictly limited end-state the campaign can achieve.
It should not be our goal to establish democracy, or bring about regime change, or anything remotely similar. The goal should simply be to degrade Islamic State.

The Australian War Memorial's refusal to acknowledge the Frontier Wars between Indigenous Australians and white settlers is historically dishonest and is holding back reconciliation.

Australians are being well-served by the ADF, and it's unlikely that its relationship with the Indonesian military will suffer unduly for the moment as a result of its recent naval incursions.
But a little cautionary history is in order. It's salutary to recall how quickly in 1914 an accumulation of 'events' rendered friendships and common sense irrelevant.
Plainly, the Indonesian archipelago in 2014 is not Europe in 1914. At the same time, it would be helpful if we could try not to subject our most important neighbour to too many more events for a while.
Topics: defence-and-national-security, unrest-conflict-and-war, navy
Apparently spooked by Kevin Rudd's plan to send boat people to Papua New Guinea, Tony Abbott has come up with an equally crass proposal.
Under 'Operation Sovereign Borders', a three-star military officer would command Australia's so-called border protection campaign. The ADF would have a bigger role to play than is presently the case.
By militarising his 'stop-the-boats' mantra Abbott has, either through ignorance or wilful opportunism, attacked the fundamental ethos of the profession of arms.

I believe I included something for every mom in these gift guides. If your mom is into all things beauty she will love this Nars Contour Brush (that so many people have raved about) and Makeup Remover. She will also love the cult classic Chanel Number Five. If Bling is her thing then she will love this Dandelion Bracelet from Bauble Bar which also comes in an Earring. She will also love this Trinket Tray to put all her baubles and think of you every time she uses it. I am yet to meet a mom who didnt like cute Flats because with motherhood comes moments where flats are essential ( unless your Victoria Beckham)and these Sequin ones from Jcrew tick both boxes ( see budget option Here). Finally I seem to have stumbled upon a trend it seems that the older you get the more you begin to have an appreciation for things like tea. So I know mom will appreciate this Tea from William Sonoma and I just love it because of its sleek & chic packaging .
For additional gift ideas be sure to checkout my first Gift Guide and Mommy gift shop Here. Also you can shop by price ( under $50, $100, $200) at Nordstrom and get guaranteed delivery by Mothers Day.

As a small child, my daughter Kimberly had bronchial asthma. As a result, we were constantly in the doctor's office. And every other month, we'd have to make a trip to the emergency room. Late one night, she began to experience a severe asthmatic attack. My husband Michael was exhausted and needed to be up early for work so I drove her to the hospital, twenty miles away from our house.
In the emergency room, I was horrified as I watched my daughter gasp for breath. I felt absolutely helpless! No matter what the nurses did, it didn't help. I stood nearby, distraught, wishing there was something more I could do.
My heart was silently screaming out, This just isn't right! There's got to be a better way to live! As the nurse put an oxygen mask over Kimberly's nose and mouth, I thought to myself, How long have we been here anyway? What time is it? I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was shortly before 4:00 am. We had been there for six hours!
Is this what life is all about, spending endless nights in emergency rooms under the care of doctors and nurses with no end in sight?
I knew there had to be a better way to live.
Shortly after that visit to the hospital, I met a woman named Judy who introduced me to the Healer, God. I began attending her church regularly, where the Word of God was being taught about healing. has After about a year, I realized Kimberly had not had another asthmatic attack. I asked my husband if he had noticed the same thing and he did. Was Kimberly's wellness connected to my newfound faith?
On the heels of that conversation, the very same evening, Kimberly suddenly had the worst asthmatic attack she had ever experienced. There was some pink amoxicillin in the refrigerator from eleven months earlier. And my husband in desperation asked me if we should give it to her.
I gasped as I took a step back, "Oh, you can give it to her, but I can't!"
"What do you mean you can't give it to her?" he asked.
"I don't know, I…. I just can't," I replied.
My husband responded, "Well, what do we do then?"
I quickly answered, "Let's pray!"
I was surprised when my husband agreed. I had never seen him pray before. He was not attending church with me at this time and wasn't hearing that God is not the one that makes us sick. (John 10:10) I was not sure he knew God's desire is that we live in good health.
We stood outside the door of Kimberly's room, held hands and prayed. We asked God to heal Kimberly and give my husband a sound sleep. A light sleeper, Michael found it especially difficult to sleep whenever one of our children was ill.
We finished praying, then went to bed even though Kimberly was still coughing. I can remember lying in bed, What kind of mother are you? It's one thing to take chances with your life, but this is your daughter! It was as though someone was standing next to me harassing me. I felt extremely uncomfortable. I began to question myself, Am I doing the right thing by praying and expecting God to heal our daughter?
Five minutes seemed like an eternity. Suddenly, the noise from my daughter's room stopped! The entire house was silent. I heard, "Look what you've done now! She's dead!"
Fear grabbed hold of me. I listened for any noise from Kimberly's room. Not sure what I would find, I slowly, quietly arose from my bed to check on her. She was lying in her bed. I put my hand on her chest and felt her heart beating. A sigh of relief washed over me.
I was astonished that our prayer had actually worked!
This was the very first time I had prayed for anything since I had given my life to God. I was excited that God heard our prayer and answered it! (John 14:13) I experienced first-hand, that if I ask anything according to the will of God, it will be done. (John 14:13)
My daughter was now sleeping peacefully so I went back to bed. I wanted to see if God had answered everything we had asked of Him. So I asked my husband a question and when he didn't answer me, I pushed his shoulder back and forth several times but my husband was 'out like a light'. I couldn't wake him up.
God had answered all of our prayers that night, for both my daughter and my husband.
It has been more than 29 years since that night, and Kimberly has not had another asthmatic episode since. Yes, God had healed my daughter.

Denture Treatment
for Missing Teeth
Millions of us are affected by tooth loss every year, but thankfully modern dentistry has come a long way and now there are a whole range of missing tooth treatments available to you. These include fixed bridges, dentures, and dental implants. When suffering from a missing tooth it is important to seek missing tooth treatment as soon as possible because;
- Teeth near the missing tooth may start to move into the gap area which can affect aesthetics of the teeth and bites function
- Bone can disintegrate in the jaw due to missing teeth
- Muscles in the face may sag as there is a lack of bone structure in the jaw area
There are two varieties of dentures available to replace lost teeth: full dentures which replace an entire arch of missing teeth, and partial dentures which can be used to replace one or two missing teeth.
At Aqua Dental Clinic in North London we know the importance of dentures which not only look great, but also feel comfortable in the mouth. Dentures which are ill-fitted can cause a number of problems including gum irritation, being unable to eat hard foods and effects to self-esteem if they come loose regularly. We ensure that our dentures are fitted so that they give patients full confidence in the stability and aesthetics of our dentures. We offer Valplast dentures for patients with a small number of missing teeth, as we have found these to be extremely comfortable and look discreet as there is no visible metal clasp involved.
Loose Dentures
Loose dentures can really affect the day to day life of denture wearers, suffering with the daily struggle to eat, bite and even speak properly. Badly fitted dentures can impact people's lives leaving them low in confidence, unable to enjoy life's pleasures and only able to eat soft foods. At Aqua Dental Clinic we can make sure your denture is fitted securely and comfortably and can use dental implants or mini implants to make your dentures are as stable as possible. Implant retained dentures make use of the best of dental implant technology and the great aesthetics of modern day dentures, leaving patients feeling like they have a new lease of life and can eat whatever they like!
If you are considering treatment for your missing teeth and want advice on the best treatment plan for you, get in touch with the team in North London today.

Deciding between an apartment close to work or a larger home with a commute? You may want to rethink choosing the extra space over the extra time. Recent studies have shown that longer commutes can have devastating effects, leading to higher rates of obesity, high blood pressure, marital issues, and even psychological problems.
A Swedish study conducted in 2011 by researchers at Umea University indicated that people who have longer commutes tend to be less physically active. Researchers found that people who commuted upwards of 30 miles were more likely to be obese and to have an unhealthy waistline. Blood pressure appeared to be even more sensitive to commuting distance, as people whose commute was just 20 miles round-trip has an increased risk of elevated blood pressure. Whats more, the study found that couples in which one partner commutes for longer than 45 minutes are 40 percent more likely to divorce.
There are countless reasons why a shortened commute can have a positive effect on your overall well-being. However, if your morning commute is simply unavoidable, there are some measures you can take in order to battle these negative effects:
Rest your eyes- Many of todays jobs require us to stare at a computer screen for hours on end. Take this period of time as a reprieve from your work responsibilities. Your eyes will benefit from the much-needed break.
Read a book – Have a list of books that you cant seem to find the time to finish? Buy them on tape. Rather than sitting in silence or listening to music expand your mind and learn through a book on tape.
Work out – Your commute has been proven to add inches to your waistline. But what if you can ensure that this activity will have the opposite effect? Use this time to do some car-approved exercises such as steering wheel curls, tummy-toning breathing exercises, or side twists.
Carpool – Try taking public transportation and switch up your daily routine. This choice carries the health benefit of added walking as well as environmental and fiscal benefits.
Ultimately, a long commute creates a time pressure, leading us to have to make choices in which we sacrifice our health and relationships. However, the certainty of your daily commute can also extend to the certainty of your daily walk. Take it on a lunch break, or wake up early to fit it in before work. The added pressure of your commute necessitates your active effort to make time for the things that truly matter.
Wishing you a stress free commute from SelectQuote.
