Chronology & Photos
I figured that before my next post I would explain the chronology or possible lack there of in my posts. I started out intending to do posts in chronological order, but as I was thinking of ideas and writing them out, they didn't flow forth in that manner. Sometimes I will go back and reorder posts to go chronologically, as I think the background is important and will help going forward.
I will do my best to reference the timeframe of the story in the post. If anyone isn't sure of how old I am when reading this, I am 33. I apparently look like I'm barely 23. Yes, yes I know, I should be grateful. I do address this in a later post and will explain why I'm not thrilled that I don't look closer to my age.
I am going through posts and realizing photos from when I was younger would help. Current photos would probably be useful too. I can show you what I dressed like and what I looked like; and, show you the hideous dresses I used to have to wear. Quick note: I am smiling in these photos. As a kid I enjoyed posing for photos, but that does not mean I enjoyed what I was wearing. I started hating photos after my parents were divorced and all my father seemed to do was take a photo every five minutes.
I need to find these photos. I'm sure my mother has tons. I will post the photos as I find them and share any stories I remember from them. I will also post photos from my heaviest times and my most in shape. Fluctuations are part of life. I have learned (after decades) not to beat myself up over things and work on fixing them. One day at a time.
Stay tuned for the next Curvy Girl Complications coming this Friday!

It is difficult to handle rejection. If you cannot accept that then you have probably already hit the job ceiling. Successful people learn to handle rejection. 'The road to success is paved with failures.' The job interview is not fair. It is not meant to be, and many times the wrong candidate is hired, for the wrong reason. There is nothing you can do about it.
When most candidates are rejected they skulk away and hide their heads. That is understandable, but it is the wrong strategy especially if you are trying to move up in your current company. Part of being a management candidate is learning how to turn a 'no' into a chance to improve your skills.
"I Was Qualified'
Were you? Many people think they are qualified because they 'don't know what they don't know.' Let that sink in. If you don't know what skills you are missing then you are unaware that you need those skills.
Be honest in the job interview. Do not become defensive or aggressive. Many candidates have used a rejection to build a relationship that lead to another job offer. You may not be qualified for the job that you are interviewing for, but you may be perfect for another position.
There are some problems you cannot overcome. Your overqualified, underqualified. Your salary expectations are too high, or too low. Or worse, you are a job hopper. Family responsibilities may limit your chances of success.
Emotional Responses
Don't fool yourself. The interviewer is looking for emotion. They are trying to see if they can get you to badmouth a previous employer. Can they make you angry? Do you 'hang on' to the drama? Do you feel that you are not really qualified so the interview is just 'wishful thinking'?
Are you applying because this job is the right one for your education, experience, and abilities? Or, are you applying because you want to be the boss, and are tired of not making as much money as everyone else?
All of these will play a roll in causing you to receive a rejection letter or phone call.
You Need Job Hunting Help
If you are receiving too many rejections then maybe you need to work with a recruiter. Job interviewers and Human Resources cannot give feedback for fear of a lawsuit. Your recruiter will work with you to help you land a job. But, the main bulk of responsibility lies on you.
Be honest, if you are receiving a lot of rejections then the onus is on you. You are not qualified. You present yourself wrong. You dress wrong. Or you act wrong. Most people who ask me why they don't get the job don't receive an interview. I ask them instead, what have you done to succeed in a job interview.
There are courses, articles, forums etc on surviving job interviews. Did you practice with a job coach or recruiter? Did you set yourself up to be coached, and if you did, what did you take away from the session? Did you really listen?
The worst thing you can do is make excuses. They are the #1 reason why many potential candidates are stuck in their current job. An excuse is nothing more than you giving yourself permission to sit back and quit trying.
Accept the rejection, and do something, take action, engage so that you have more skills, abilities, and experience before the next job interview.

Asia stocks gain, yen up as caution lingers1 min read . Updated: 09 Dec 2008, 09:03 AM IST
Asia stocks gain, yen up as caution lingers
Asia stocks gain, yen up as caution lingers
Hong Kong: Asian stocks edged up on Tuesday to a one-month high, but gains were kept in check as hopes for big government spending to revive growth were offset by investors shying away from risk in wrapping up a brutal 2008.
US crude oil prices were little changed near $43.80 a barrel after rebounding from a four-year low last week, while safe-haven government bonds dipped slightly.
"Reports about additional government support and economic stimulus plans do help sentiment, but the economy is still in a deep slowdown, and we will probably see more grim economic data," said Kwak Joong-bo, a market analyst at Hana Daetoo Securities in Seoul.
Global stocks bolted higher on Monday as US authorities thrashed out a rescue plan for struggling automakers and US President-elect Barack Obama said he would undertake the biggest infrastructure spending since the 1950s.
The White House reviewed a Democratic plan to bail out the automakers with $15 billion of loans.
Investors are still debating whether the sharp sell-off this year has run its course or there is worse to come as the global economy slides into a deep recession that has already claimed the three major regions: the United States, Japan and the euro zone.
Data on Tuesday showed Japan's economy contracted at an even faster pace than originally estimated during the third quarter, showing the recession deepening and raising worries the world's second largest economy faces its longest period of contraction ever.
Economists at Deutsche Bank forecast that global growth next year will be barely above zero.
The MSCI index of Asia-Pacific stocks outside Japan rose 0.3% and touched its highest in about a month, a day after jumping 7%.
Hopes that Chinese economic leaders meeting this week in Beijing would unveil more measures to prop up growth helped fuel the rebound.

Radhika Apte is one of the versatile actors in the Hindi film industry. The actor is winning hearts with her performances and has been doing interesting films.
She is also one of the hottest actors we have in B-Town. She recently shared a picture on her Instagram page wearing a swimwear. She looks hot in the picture and giving us summer goals.
Radhika Apte captioned the photo, 'Testing the waters, quite literally 😉 Summer morning dips seems to be the routine".
Have a look at her post:
Radhika and Rajkummar Rao are close friends and appeared on BFFs with Vogue together. They made some startling revelations about each other on the show. In a segment called, Say it or Strip It, Radhika was asked which actor or film-maker should stop working, she did not take the diplomatic route and promptly answered, "Ram Gopal Varma'.
She also talked about an incident where she had slapped a famous co-star on the show. She said, "It was my first day on the set and a famous South actor started to tickle my feet. I was stunned as we'd never met before and I instinctively slapped him."
On the show, she also called Sushant Singh Rajput an over-rated actor, as per reports.
In an interview with us, she had spoken about sexual harassment in the industry and had said, "I have never had a first-hand experience so bad. The little bit that I have gone through I have always spoken about it. I have spoken about it then and there also. I have never hidden anything. I would never disclose other people's stories, unfortunately."

Regional City Offers Attractive Nightlife
TABIMOJA run by SSFF&ASIA, has been sharing local promotion videos since 2012 as part of a project called the "Visual Tourism Award".
Marking its 6 th anniversary this year, as finalists, 10 videos have been nominated out of 462 works.
We will share some of these works on TABIMOJA.
The best way to learn about attractions of a Japanese regional city is to explore the downtown at nighttime. There are the town's own cuisine, local sake, and stores of character. Certainly, you will encounter some unique people as well.
Miyazaki Prefecture, located in the east of Kyushu, Japan.
A commercial district of the prefectural capital, Miyazaki City, is right in the vicinity of Tachibana-dori.
Its back street is Nishitachibana-dori, commonly called Nishitachi.
Nishitachi is an entertainment district, where saloons, bars, and taverns line up.
Many different stores are located from high-quality Japanese restaurants to neighborhood taverns and authentic bars.
You can enjoy delicious seafood and meat dishes with local sake from Miyazaki.
It is the Japanese nightlife style to go on to two or three bars in one night.
Perhaps you may hit it off with Miyazaki locals in the next seat and drink with them all night.
This video is an extract of attractions of Nishitachi.
One man runs around Nishitachi, escorted by a beautiful lady.
Drink, eat, and drink again…
Having fun is a manner in Nishitachi.

Personality Clashes
I have been struggling with a Year 8 class I have which has been formed specifically to address the needs of students with behavioural difficulties. I have found that there are some extremely defiant students in the class, who it is obviously quite difficult to win over and form a relationship with in order to maximise their learning. I have been working on teaching them what it looks like to show respect to me and to identify and appreciate when others are showing respect to them. It's going to be a hard road, I'm thinking!
What I have an even bigger issue with, however, is the way that they interact with each other. There are some very obvious personality clashes in the class, and this usually plays out with them degrading each other, the class taking sides, etc. etc. I came across a chart on edutopia's twitter account which has helped me over the last few days make my expectations of their behaviour towards each other very clear.
Each student has one of these charts (except I cut off the love hearts off for the boys!) and they are expected to be able to put a tick into one box each lesson. We have then had some reflection time, discussing which acts of kindness they had 'completed' and why those things are important. Interestingly, most of them are very keen to share what they've achieved and have been very proud of their acts of kindness.
I'm still waiting for the 'make a thank you card for your teacher'!

Vettel Prevails In Hungarian Thriller
A race that we will surely be talking about for many years to come, the 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix was a modern classic. A four-wide duel to claim early pre-eminence on the run into turn one set the tone for a day filled with action, incident and drama. Sebastian Vettel was one of few to have avoided trouble throughout the day, driving imperiously at the head of the field, as Ferrari remarkably kept the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg at arms length, with Kimi Raikkonen shadowing his teammate in second until an MGU-K failure curtailed his progress. Lewis Hamilton, expected by many to win the race at a canter, struggled from the start.
Who says F1 is at all predictable?
The Vettel of Old
During his dominance at the wheel of a Newey-designed Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel became somewhat accustomed to commanding races. Once hitting the heights of first place – a feat usually achieved by the first corner of the first lap – he was almost untouchable. Today saw him demonstrate that he retains the skill-set which saw him masterfully win 38 races at Red Bull.
What was most striking about Vettel's second Ferrari win, however, was that it was achieved much like his first. Back in Malaysia, Ferrari carried a pace eclipsing even the class-leading Mercedes, which guided them to a well deserved victory. While Lewis Hamilton's early trip through the gravel track effectively removed him from the battle for top honours, (at least until the Safety Car brought him back into the reckoning for a handful of laps), it is fair to say that Ferrari had a pace to at least match Mercedes today, and after a stunning start, matching Mercedes was good enough to beat them.
Albeit, in the opening exchanges, Ferrari were not just matching Mercedes, as both Vettel and Raikkonen pulled away from Nico Rosberg. His balance issues expressed in qualifying will have likely hampered his race pace, but credit has to be awarded to Ferrari for what was a Merc-beating performance today. Their Friday was hindered by technical gremlins and this could be what concealed their impressive speed until this afternoon. But for the Iceman's MGU-K failure, a remarkable 1-2 was on the cards for the prancing horse which certainly broke into a gallop when it mattered most.
Damage Limitation
A sixth place finish for Lewis Hamilton was almost unthinkable heading into today's race. With Rosberg struggling and Hamilton seemingly unstoppable after a mesmerising qualifying lap, the script suggested that the Briton was set to collect another 25 points en route to his summer break. But, as we should know by now, F1 is never that straight-forward.
Indeed, the precedent for Hamilton's race to come was set on lap one, as a misjudgement at the turn six and seven chicane saw him bounce across the gravel trap. This was a clumsy race for the championship leader, with the contact while dueling with Daniel Ricciardo proving costly. Hamilton should, therefore, be rather content with a sixth place finish, given the difficulties he faced today. In addition, extending his championship lead as a result of his teammate's own Ricciardo related dramas, is quite the great escape.
The Red Bull Connection
Not only was it a former-Red Bull driver of the top step of the podium, but he was joined on the rostrum by the team's current driver duo, with Daniil Kvyat ending a great weekend with his maiden podium and followed home by Daniel Ricciardo, who claimed his first top three finish of the campaign. Meanwhile, a great day for Mateschitz was made even sweeter with Max Verstappen coming home in a career-best fourth place.
Ultimately, Ricciardo seemed to have an edge on Kvyat in regards to race pace and but for his collision with Rosberg, would have finished ahead of his teammate. The Aussie's move to the soft compound tyre at the second and final stop brought him into play for the victory, with Vettel and Rosberg ahead running the slower medium compound.
Had Ricciardo made a clean move on the Mercedes ahead, he would have had a chance to steal the most unlikely of victories and for a while at least, the closing stages seemed to be following the same storyline as in 2014, with Daniel needing to pass a Mercedes and a Ferrari to secure a win. Alas, his Renault powertrain meant that a move on Nico would need to be made at maximum commitment and I commend Ricciardo for attempting what ultimately was an improbable move to execute successfully. The contact with Rosberg may have been an indirect result of his desperate dive, but it was simply a racing incident.
Driver of the Day
Sebastian Vettel
A textbook example of how to manage a race at the front of the field, Vettel had to cope with having his lead destroyed by an untimely Safety Car, but did so in the style of a quadruple World Champion. His pace was electric, his restart was perfection and after the difficulties he faced on Friday, it was an imperious performance on Sunday.
Overtake of the Race
HAMILTON vs Massa
Recovering from his lap one excursion, Hamilton executed an impressive move on the Williams of Felipe Massa, as he negotiated the outside line in turn one, taking the high ground on the exit. A slight connection between Hamilton and Massa's rear tyres signified just how small the margin for error was and as Sergio Perez and Pastor Maldonado demonstrated later on, it was a high risk move.
Team of the Weekend
Red Bull
Albeit on the track which best suits their characteristics, Red Bull took their opportunity well this weekend and even had a chance of victory late on in the race. Having waiting nine races for a podium in 2015, two came at once and will provide a massive boost to all those working as hard as ever at Milton Keynes.

Many will already be aware of the resolution adopted by the European Parliament on 25 February about the situation in Ukraine, and the amendment which was added by a group of MEPs 'deploring' the award of the title 'National Hero of Ukraine' to Stepan Bandera and hoping that President Yanukovych would reconsider that award. The amendment also referred to Stepan Bandera as a Nazi collaborator.
It was tabled by various parliamentary groups, including the Social Democrat grouping and the Conservative grouping. Perhaps most surprisingly, one of the sponsors of the amendment was Dr Charles Tannock, a London MEP who has previously supported the process of Ukrainian democratisation. He is the foreign affairs lead for the European Conservative Group.
AUGB is a non-political organisation but will always defend Ukraine against any misrepresentation of her history and unjustified slurs against those who fought and died for the right to Ukraine's independence. We are deeply disappointed that the European Parliament has marred an otherwise very positive resolution on Ukraine by attempting to rewrite its history.
The World Congress of Ukrainians has already reacted with a letter to the European Parliament on 3 March, and there is an on-line petition which can be accessed and signed by following this link: http://www.petition.org.ua/?action=view&id=251148
AUGB has also published an article by the Bandera family which comprehensively rebuts the false accusations made.
Anyone over the age of 18 can sign the petition and there are several other ways of making your views known if you disagree with the European Parliament's resolution on Stepan Bandera. You may write:
- directly to your MEP
- to the UK MEP who leads on foreign affairs for a political group
- to MEP / EU parliamentary group via Facebook pages
- to the European Commission head of Foreign Affairs, Baroness Ashton.
The following link will take you to the European Parliament website page from which you can find MEPs by location and/or by political grouping.
The foreign affairs lead for the European Conservative Group, Charles Tannock MEP, can be contacted through this link: http://www.charlestannock.com/contact.asp
The various political groups also have Facebook pages where those who are Facebook members can register a protest. The Conservative Group Facebook page is: http://www.facebook.com/pages/wwwecrgroupeu/158530137141
Other Facebook pages can be found on the sites of each political group.
Baroness Ashton can be contacted at the following address email@example.com
We encourage everyone to make their views known.

Being Socially Smart: Advice for College Seniors
You've finished the first semester, 2014 is over and you've been celebrating because, well, you deserve it.
Your grades are right where you want them, your roster of leadership and volunteer activities is ever-increasing, your resume is polished and you've been networking since forever. As you transition into spring semester, the hunt for your next job/internship/externship is on. But what if a few words or an image could derail all of this? All of your hard work, talent, dedication, time…rendered useless. What if you are actually the person derailing it? And worse yet, what if you don't even realize it?
Let's talk about your social media. Social media is one of the most important parts of your brand..yes, you've got one. And surprisingly some students don't recognize this..to their detriment. For some, it's an afterthought. For others it's given no thought. Some may think of social media as personal...merely self expression among friends. Personal views on social media aside, the moment it is accessible on the internet, it's no longer private.
Having spent ten years in private investigations, I can tell you that social media searches are a huge part of corporate due diligence and pre-employment investigations. Be careful. Real decisions are based on the information people find researching a candidate…and have no doubt that they will research. If you are applying for a job, internship, externship, volunteer position, scholarship, grad school, board position, tutor/mentor position, etc. someone will likely research you. Even your potential dates are looking you up.
But it's not just potential employers. Perhaps even more importantly for you it's recruiters and hiring managers who may be looking for you even if you haven't applied to a job. According to a 2013 JobVite study, "94% of recruiters use or plan to use social media in their recruitment efforts and 78% of recruiters have made a hire through social media."
A nationwide survey conducted on behalf of CareerBuilder found "that nearly two in five companies (39 percent) use social networking sites to research job candidates, up from 37 percent last year." Additionally, the study found that "more than two in five (43 percent) hiring managers who currently research candidates via social media said they have found information that has caused them not to hire a candidate, up 9 percentage points from last year." The line between personal and professional space is blurred. You will be professionally assessed against your personal content.
Managing your social media is a life skill not just a job skill. People view social media as providing a raw, unfiltered look at someone. What are people seeing when they look at what they think is the 'real you'? After all, it's your content. You are creating it, publishing it and disseminating it. Even if you feel it's an invasion of "privacy" and you shouldn't be judged on it, it's the "you" they are seeing.
Your digital footprint is your virtual first impression. So, take a moment to think about yours. What does your digital footprint say about you? Is your social media working for you? Against you? Is it doing anything at all for you?
Can anybody find you? Are you visible? Would anybody want you if they found you? When someone hires you, they are hiring all of you not just your exceptional talent. That person is hiring a human being that will be part of a team within a company culture and you will become a reflection of the organization. So, what does your virtual resume say? If you neutralized yourself by deleting your posts and photos then it's a blank page, it says nothing. Sterile doesn't persuade employers that you should be on their team. Show and tell who you are. You have to be persuasive. If you've shut down your social media completely or are using a fake name you are missing opportunities. Be authentic. Convince potential employers that you would be a stellar addition to their team and would mesh well with other employees.
Now, it's time to brand yourself. Leverage your social media and create a brand that people want.
Derogatory, bigoted, aggressive, antisocial behavior is unacceptable. Does your social media contain any of the above? Have any of your friends posted questionable material on your profiles? Think of any misbegotten tags and shares. Remember, recruiters or potential employers don't actually know you so don't assume that they will understand your content or give you the benefit of the doubt. Will they get that those were just lyrics you posted? Would that matter to them? Use common sense. You would never badmouth a recruiter or the company that you just interviewed with right? Sounds like a terrible idea..but you'd be surprised what people broadcast. Remember, social media is social. You have an audience..and if your privacy settings are lax it may be pretty public. What if a questionable or adverse picture or post never went away? What if that was the first thing that appeared when someone googled you? Could you live with it? Consider the permanence of your social media. Once you post something you often lose control of it. Even if your privacy settings are airtight, your friends' may not be. It can be shared and reposted instantaneously.
Scan your sites for evidence of drug use, alcohol abuse, aggressive or overtly sexual behavior and any signs of social intolerance. Edit. Would you have a resume full of spelling and grammatical mistakes? Would you go to an interview looking sloppy or dirty? Is email@example.com the best email address you can think of? If your social media is a mess, that may send the wrong message. So, clean up your social media. Stay competitive.
Once you've cleaned up your Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook, etc. you are not done. That's just half the equation. Cleaning up gets you back to zero. But zero is not where you want to be. You want to stand out and get noticed. Ask the question again. Is your social media doing anything at all for you? Can anybody find you? You must be visible. No one can hire you if they can't find you. Are you on LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter, Facebook, etc.? Do you have a website? A blog?
So, what does your virtual resume say? If it's a blank page, it says nothing. Sterile doesn't persuade employers that you should be on their team. Show and tell who you are. You have to be persuasive. If you've shut down your social media completely or are using a fake name you are missing opportunities. Be authentic. Convince potential employers that you would be a stellar addition to their team, solve their problems and would mesh well with other employees.
How can you convince them? What should people know about you? What have you accomplished? What are your skills? How can you help them? Show and tell how you are a valuable asset. Have you won any competitions? Are you a leader? Do you volunteer? Telling is powerful but showing can be even more compelling. Use text and media to highlight your attributes while sharing your story and building your brand.
What does your Linkedin profile look like? It should be filled out as completely as possible. You must have a picture. Look professional. Fill out the summary, education, skills, awards, etc. Write recommendations for people you've worked with. Like companies, follow your school, connect with people, alumni, recruiters, and join groups. Reach out and engage. Whether it's with people, companies, recruiters, current employees, etc.
What about Google+? Have a website, great? Get yourself out there! Do you blog? If you have a portfolio, is it online? If not, don't worry just get busy. Find the best ways to showcase your skills. Get on Twitter, Pinterest, etc. and link your various profiles to one another. Use Pheed and Tumblr to highlight your creative side.
Be mindful of everything you share and update regularly. So, think about your social media. Are you doing everything you can to stand out, get yourself noticed and get you into that interview or meeting or applicant pool? Are you easy to connect with? Remember, people will mine their connections for new connections, employees, volunteers, interns, mentors, etc. Continue to refine your social media and brand.
It's tough out there so give yourself every advantage you can. Ongoing management of your social media is crucial. At Social Assurity, we say if people are looking, give them something to see. Your social media is one of your biggest assets.
Second semester has barely started, the weather is cold so get going. You've got this!
At Social Assurity we say if people are looking, give them something to see. Your social media is one of your biggest assets.

Brunswick Plantation and Golf Resort ® is the perfect place to enjoy a Two State Solution to Fun! Brunswick Plantation in Calabash, North Carolina is just three miles from the South Carolina border. Little River and N. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina are minutes away! Sandy beaches and great golf are everywhere! So is the Carolina Beach Music and Shag dancing! In fact, Shag is the official dance of South Carolina! Our Brunswick Plantation neighbors, Babs and Flash Ludwick can show you "All About It"! Since moving here from Virginia 20 years ago, they have become, as a Buzz Feed post states,The couple serving as the loyal (And Royal) Ambassadors of Beach Music!
Beach Music & Beach Names
Babs and Flash built a house at Brunswick Plantation and moved here in 1994. They always enjoyed dancing Shag Dance lessons were a retirement gift for them. They got involved with the Ocean Drive Shag Club in N. Myrtle Beach, SC and got hooked on Carolina Beach Music!
Babs and Flash are the Beach names given to them with the Shag group. Flash, whose given name is Patrick Ludwick, was first introduced by Billy Martin as Calabash Flash. Shag friend, Boston Beth, told Barbara Ludwick…"You can't be Barbara!" You need a Beach Name. So, Barbara became Babs Ludwick! Flash and Babs had cards printed and their Beach Names became their own! They have also helped many others with Beach Names…Mostly Shag Friends!
Babs and Calabash Flash got to know lots of Beach Bands. They went to Fat Harolds Beach Club, popular for Beach Music and Shag Dance, in N. Myrtle Beach, SC on Wed. Thurs., Fri., and Sat. They also taught Line Dancing on Sunday nights for 6 or 7 years! You can find more about Fat Harolds @ www.fatharolds.com
Flash Ludwick Day in N. Myrtle Beach was signed and designated by Mayor Marilyn Hatley for Falsh's 60th birthday. There was a surprise party planned without his knowledge at Fat Harold's Beach Club. Flash danced with 60 different people…He had only danced with 4 or 5 prior to that! It was a true Beach Music Shag Birthday!
Babs and Flash knew the people involved in passing the law making Shag the Official Dance of South Carolina! Flash's Shag friend, Bail Bondsman, wanted Flash to look at his poems. Flash reduced them to 3 verses and wrote the ballad, "Walking in Memories"!
Songwriter…Calabash, Bluesman Flash
Flash had always been involved in music. While living in Northern Virginia, he played guitar and sang in the folk group at his local church for many years. He also began working as a Mobile DJ and provided music …Primarily for teen dances, but also adult dances and weddings. For years he worked at songwriting as a hobby.
After his experience with Carolina Beach Music when he moved South, his interest in songwriting blossomed! In September 1996, Flash released his debut CD single called "Shaggin in the Moonlight". He wrote it, sang it, and distributed it to various record stores in North and South Carolina. He re-recorded and updated it in 2005 with the new version included on his "FLASH FLOOD" CD which is a unique blend of original Carolina Beach Music and Shag Music.
In 2002, Flash received a CBMA Carolina Beach Music Awards Nomination for Songwriter of the year for his song, "One Track Mind"..."One Track Mind" was on John Hook's Rhythm and Beach Top 40 for forty-two weeks, peaked at number 5 for seven weeks , and finished at number 18 for the entire year of 2002. It was re-recorded by The Attractions Band and their version re-entered the Beach Music Top 40 charts in 2007. It went on to Number 1 on Willie C's Beach Music Cafe Top 50 chart.
In 2008 Flash was nominated by the CBMA Carolina Beach Music Awards for CD of the year for this 18 song CD of "FLASH FLOOD"…. "Shaggin in the Moonlight" was the song that was Flash's introduction to the World of Recorded Music! Since then he has written or co-written and sun several songs that have appeared on Compilation CD's…Primarily directed to the Beach Music market.

Lithuanian Roots
Babs grew up in a Lithuanian community in PA. Though people did not live in just one part of town, they did attend the church of their heritage. Babs family attended the Lithuanian Catholic Church. Others in town attended Polish Catholic, Slovak Catholic, or German Catholic…where service could be held in the language of their heritage. Babs' family are believed to have come from Lithuania in the late 1800's. Babs and her son, Mike, did a family pilgrimage trip to Lithuania together a few years ago. Babs wrote a three part series, with pictures, about their trip in the 2005 editions of Myrtle Beach Alternatives.
Babs and Mike learned a lot about their family heritage on their trip to Lithuania. Lithuania is at the geographic center of Europe…On the shores of the Baltic Sea. The flag of Lithuania is Gold, Green, and Red signifying the sun, forests, and blood shed by the people in defense of their Homeland. Though Lithuania suffered under the occupation of Germany and Russia, Babs did not hear any bitterness toward the Germans or Soviets. It was more like these are the facts – This Happened- Now let us Create History rather than repeat it! Russia was in Lithuania until 1991. Lithuania was the first Soviet Republic to declare Independence. President Ford said: "We recognize Lithuania as a separate country!"
Babs and Mike visited Trakai Castle, completed in 1400, and rebuilt in 1955 after being destroyed after war with the Russians. The castle is built on an island off of Lake of Galve. Trakai is a treasure,as is the beautiful country of Lithuania. Babs says Lithuania is a Tourist's Dream. She notes that the country Has it All…Beautiful cities, cobblestone streets, gorgeous landscapes, and more! Babs would go back in a Heartbeat!
Folks at Brunswick Plantation and Golf Resort ® are so Happy to have Babs and Flash in our community! They really exemplify the words of Henry David Thoreau: "This world is but a canvas to our imagination!" Dancing through life to the tune of Beach Music would seem to create a life described by Deepak Chopra when he stated: "The healthiest response to life is Joy"! Babs and Flash certainly know how to spread the Joy…Lucky for Us!

Fire-Tongue by Sax Rohmer
Chapter XXX. The Catastrophe
The first faint spears of morning creeping through the trees which surrounded Hillside revealed two figures upon a rustic bench in the little orchard adjoining the house. A pair incongruous enough--this dark-eyed Eastern woman, wrapped in a long fur cloak, and Nicol Brinn, gaunt, unshaven, fantastic in his evening dress, revealed now in the gray morning light.
"Look!" whispered Naida. "It is the dawn. I must go!"
Nicol Brinn clenched his teeth tightly but made no reply.
"You promised," she said, and although her voice was very tender she strove to detach his arm, which was locked about her shoulders.
He nodded grimly.
"I'll keep my word. I made a contract with hell with my eyes open, and I'll stick to it." He stood up suddenly. "Go back, Naida!" he said. "Go back! You have my promise, now, and I'm helpless. But at last I see a way, and I'm going to take it."
"What do you mean?" she cried, standing up and clutching his arm.
"Never mind." His tone was cool again. "Just go back."
"You would not--" she began.
"I never broke my word in my life, and even now I'm not going to begin. While you live I stay silent."
In the growing light Naida looked about her affrightedly. Then, throwing her arms impulsively around Brinn, she kissed him--a caress that was passionate but sexless; rather the kiss of a mother who parts with a beloved son than that which a woman bestows upon the man she loves; an act of renunciation.
He uttered a low cry and would have seized her in his arms but, lithely evading him, she turned, stifling a sob, and darted away through the trees toward the house.
For long he stood looking after her, fists clenched and his face very gray in the morning light. Some small inner voice told him that his new plan, and the others which he had built upon it, must crumble and fall as a castle of sand. He groaned and, turning aside, made his way through the shrubbery to the highroad.
He was become accessory to a murder; for he had learned for what reason and by what means Sir Charles Abingdon had been assassinated. He had even learned the identity of his assassin; had learned that the dreaded being called Fire-Tongue in India was known and respected throughout the civilized world as His Excellency Ormuz Khan!
Paul Harley had learned these things also, and now at this very hour Paul Harley lay a captive in Hillside. Naida had assured him that Paul Harley was alive and safe. It had been decided that his death would lead to the destruction of the movement, but pressure was being brought upon him to ensure his silence.
Yes, he, Nicol Brinn, was bound and manacled to a gang of assassins; and because his tongue was tied, because the woman he loved better than anything in the world was actually a member of the murderous group, he must pace the deserted country lanes inactive; he must hold his hand, although he might summon the resources of New Scotland Yard by phoning from Lower Claybury station!
Through life his word had been his bond, and Nicol Brinn was incapable of compromising with his conscience. But the direct way was barred to him. Nevertheless, no task could appal the inflexible spirit of the man, and he had registered a silent vow that Ormuz Khan should never leave England alive.
Not a soul was astir yet upon the country roads, and sitting down upon a grassy bank, Nicol Brinn lighted one of his black cigars, which in times of stress were his food and drink, upon which if necessary he could carry-on for forty-eight hours upon end.
In connection with his plan for coercing Harley, Ormuz Khan had gone to London by rail on the previous night, departing from Lower Claybury station at about the time that Colonel Lord Wolverham came out of the Cavalry Club to discover his Rolls Royce to be missing. This same Rolls Royce was now a source of some anxiety to Nicol Brinn, for its discovery by a passing labourer in the deserted barn seemed highly probable.
However, he had matters of greater urgency to think about, not the least of these being the necessity of concealing his presence in the neighbourhood of Hillside. Perhaps his Sioux-like face reflected a spirit allied in some respects to that of the once great Indian tribe.
His genius for taking cover, perfected upon many a big-game expedition, enabled him successfully to accomplish the feat; so that, when the limousine, which he had watched go by during the morning, returned shortly after noon, the lack-lustre eyes were peering out through the bushes near the entrance to the drive.
Instinct told him that the pretty girl with whom Ormuz Khan was deep in conversation could be none other than Phil Abingdon, but the identity of her companion he could not even guess. On the other hand, that this poisonously handsome Hindu, who bent forward so solicitously toward his charming travelling companion, was none other than the dreaded Fire-Tongue, he did not doubt.
He returned to a strategic position which he had discovered during the night. In a measure he was nonplussed. That the presence of the girl was primarily associated with the coercion of Paul Harley, he understood; but might it not portend something even more sinister?
When, later, the limousine departed again, at great risk of detection he ran across a corner of the lawn to peer out into the lane, in order that he might obtain a glimpse of its occupant. This proved to be none other than Phil Abingdon's elderly companion. She had apparently been taken ill, and a dignified Hindu gentleman, wearing gold-rimmed pince-nez, was in attendance.
Nicol Brinn clenched his jaws hard. The girl had fallen into a trap. He turned rapidly, facing the house. Only at one point did the shrubbery approach the wall, but for that point he set out hot foot, passing from bush to bush with Indian cleverness, tense, alert, and cool in despite of his long vigil.
At last he came to the shallow veranda with its four sightless windows backed by fancifully carven screens. He stepped up to the first of these and pressed his ear against the glass.
Fate was with him, for almost immediately he detected a smooth, musical voice speaking in the room beyond. A woman's voice answered and, listening intently, he detected the sound of a closing door.
Thereupon he acted: with the result, as has appeared, that Phil Abingdon, hatless, without her furs, breathless and more frightened than she had ever been in her life, presently found herself driving a luxurious Rolls Royce out of a roofless barn on to the highroad, and down the slope to Claybury station.
It was at about this time, or a little later, that Paul Harley put into execution a project which he had formed. The ventilator above the divan, which he had determined to be the spy-hole through which his every movement was watched, had an ornamental framework studded with metal knobs. He had recently discovered an electric bell-push in the centre panel of the massive door of his prison.
Inwardly on fire, imagining a thousand and one horrors centring about the figure of Phil Abingdon, but retaining his outward calm by dint of a giant effort, he pressed this bell and waited.
Perhaps two minutes elapsed. Then the glass doors beyond the gilded screen were drawn open, and the now-familiar voice spoke:
"Mr. Paul Harley?"
"Yes," he replied, "I have made my final decision."
"And that is?
"I agree."
"You are wise," the voice replied. "A statement will be placed before you for signature. When you have signed it, ring the bell again, and in a few minutes you will be free."
Vaguely he detected the speaker withdrawing. Thereupon, heaving a loud sigh, he removed his coat, looked about him as if in quest of some place to hang it, and finally, fixing his gaze upon the studded grating, stood upon the divan and hung his coat over the spy-hole! This accomplished, he turned.
The table was slowly sinking through the gap in the floor beneath.
Treading softly, he moved forward and seated himself cross-legged upon it! It continued to descend, and he found himself in absolute darkness.
Nicol Brinn ran on to the veranda and paused for a moment to take breath. The window remained open, as Phil Abingdon had left it. He stepped into the room with its elegant Persian appointments. It was empty. But as he crossed the threshold, he paused, arrested by the sound of a voice.
"A statement will be placed before you," said the voice, "and when you have signed it, in a few minutes you will be free."
Nicol Brinn silently dropped flat at the back of a divan, as Rama Dass, coming out of the room which communicated with the golden screen, made his way toward the distant door. Having one eye raised above the top of the cushions, Nicol Brinn watched him, recognizing the man who had accompanied the swooning lady. She had been deposited, then, at no great distance from the house.
He was to learn later that poor Mrs. McMurdoch, in her artificially induced swoon, had been left in charge of a hospitable cottager, while her solicitous Oriental escort had sped away in quest of a physician. But at the moment matters of even greater urgency engaged his attention.
Creeping forward to the doorway by which Rama Dass had gone out, Nicol Brinn emerged upon a landing from which stairs both ascended and descended. Faint sounds of footsteps below guided him, and although from all outward seeming he appeared to saunter casually down, his left hand was clutching the butt of a Colt automatic.
He presently found himself in a maze of basements--kitchens of the establishment, no doubt. The sound of footsteps no longer guided him. He walked along, and in a smaller deserted pantry discovered the base of a lift shaft in which some sort of small elevator worked. He was staring at this reflectively, when, for the second time in his adventurous career, a silken cord was slipped tightly about his throat!
He was tripped and thrown. He fought furiously, but the fatal knee pressure came upon his spine so shrewdly as to deprive him of the strength to raise his hands.
"My finish!" were the words that flashed through his mind, as sounds like the waves of a great ocean beat upon his ears and darkness began to descend.
Then, miraculously, the pressure ceased; the sound of great waters subsided; and choking, coughmg, he fought his way back to life, groping like a blind man and striving to regain his feet.
"Mr. Brinn!" said a vaguely familiar voice. "Mr. Brinn!"
The realities reasserted themselves. Before him, pale, wide-eyed, and breathing heavily, stood Paul Harley; and prone upon the floor of the pantry lay Rama Dass, still clutching one end of the silken rope in his hand!
"Mr. Harley!" gasped Brinn. "My God, sir!" He clutched at his bruised throat. "I have to thank you for my hfe."
He paused, looking down at the prone figure as Harley, dropping upon his knees, turned the man over.
"I struck him behind the ear," he muttered, "and gave him every ounce. Good heavens!"
He had slipped his hand inside Rama Dass's vest, and now he looked up, his face very grim.
"Good enough!" said Brinn, coolly. "He asked for it; he's got it. Take this." He thrust the Colt automatic into Harley's hand as the latter stood up again.
"What do we do now?" asked Harley.
"Search the house," was the reply. "Everything coloured you see, shoot, unless I say no."
"Miss Abingdon?"
"She's safe. Follow me."
Straight up two flights of stairs led Nicol Brinn, taking three steps at a stride. Palpably enough the place was deserted. Ormuz Khan's plans for departure were complete.
Into two rooms on the first floor they burst, to find them stripped and bare. On the threshold of the third Brinn stopped dead, and his gaunt face grew ashen. Then he tottered across the room, arms outstretched.
"Naida," he whispered. "My love, my love!"
Paul Harley withdrew quietly. He had begun to walk along the corridor when the sound of a motor brought him up sharply. A limousine was being driven away from the side entrance! Not alone had he heard that sound. His face deathly, and the lack-lustre eyes dully on fire, Nicol Brinn burst out of the room and, not heeding the presence of Harley, hurled himself down the stairs. He was as a man demented, an avenging angel.
"There he is!" cried Harley--"heading for the Dover Road!"
Nicol Brinn, at the wheel of the racer--the same in which Harley had made his fateful journey and which had afterward been concealed in the garage at Hillside--scarcely nodded.
Nearer they drew to the quarry, and nearer. Once--twice--and again, the face of Ormuz Khan peered out of the window at the rear of the limousine.
They drew abreast; the road was deserted. And they passed slightly ahead.
Paul Harley glanced at the granite face of his companion with an apprehension he was unable to conceal. This was a cool madman who drove. What did he intend to do?
Inch by inch, Nicol Brinn edged the torpedo body nearer to the wheels of the racing limousine. The Oriental chauffeur drew in ever closer to the ditch bordering the roadside. He shouted hoarsely and was about to apply the brakes when the two cars touched!
A rending crash came--a hoarse scream--and the big limousine toppled over into the ditch.
Harley felt himself hurled through space.
"Shall I follow on to Lower Claybury, sir?" asked Inspector Wessex, excitedly.
Phil Abingdon's message had come through nearly an hour before, and a party had been despatched in accordance with Brinn's instructions. Wessex had returned to New Scotland Yard too late to take charge, and now, before the Assistant Commissioner had time to reply, a 'phone buzzed.
"Yes?" said the Assistant Commissioner, taking up one of the several instruments: "What!"
Even this great man, so justly celebrated for his placid demeanour, was unable to conceal his amazement.
"Yes," he added. "Let him come up!" He replaced the receiver and turning to Wessex: "Mr. Nicol Brinn is here!" he informed him.
"What's that!" cried the inspector, quite startled out of his usual deferential manner.
Footsteps sounded in the corridor. Came a rap at the door.
"Come in," said the Assistant Commissioner.
The door was thrown open and Nicol Brinn entered. One who knew him well would have said that he had aged ten years. Even to the eye of Wessex he looked an older man. He wore a shoddy suit and a rough tweed cap and his left arm was bandaged.
"Gentlemen," he said, without other greeting, "I'm here to make a statement. I desire that a shorthand-writer attend to take it down."
He dropped weakly into a chair which Wessex placed for him. The Assistant Commissioner, doubtless stimulated by the manner of his extraordinary visitor, who now extracted a cigar from the breast pocket of his ill-fitting jacket and nonchalantly lighted it, successfully resumed his well-known tired manner, and, pressing a bell:
"One shall attend, Mr. Brinn," he said.
A knock came at the door and a sergeant entered.
"Send Ferris," directed the Assistant Commissioner. "Quickly."
Two minutes later a man came in carrying a note book and fountain pen. The Assistant Commissioner motioned him to a chair, and:
"Pray proceed, Mr. Brinn," he said.

Some men in anger management are classic narcissists. Beyond their immediate needs they have no idea how the world functions. They are difficult men to live with, with enough dysfunctional characteristics, including grandiosity to ensure that relationships are unpleasant for their partners. Very often narcissists posess an undercurrent of rage which breeds further impatience and abusiveness.
This is still viewed as a moral problem, but recent research has indicated there are biological malfunctions in their brains.
We are wired with mirror neurons, where the brain automatically picks up cues from others and we then mirror their behavior. Someone yawns and soon others follow, another stretches and others stretch. We catch on automatically. This contributes to our awareness of the other and if we want to get along this is an essential component of relationships. Research indicates narcissists do not have these neurons. So there is an automatic lack of empathy. Presumably the wiring in the brain got fowled up early on with some attachment malfunction (often occurring in the first year), which lead to poor brain functioning , no different say than ADD.
Having this knowledge could make empathy training more meaningful for a narcissist of course but he has to be motivated. Realizing his brain handicap might lead to some serious personal reflection. To be challenged where his relationships don't work and why cannot be dismissed lightly, however inconvenient.
Narcissists are comfortable walking over people, the truth is they are not as smart as they think.

Do you want to buy a reasonably price home that is located close to a metro station? The Huntington neighborhood has town homes, condos and single family homes that are affordably priced compared to homes in Old Town, the next town over. Huntington is becoming a neighborhood sort after by first-time homebuyers, and newcomers to DMV.
Affordability and location account in part for the increased attention real estate in Huntington has been getting by buyers and investors over the last few years. Also, the employees of two large organizations, Patent and Trade Office and NSF on Eisenhower Avenue and the Carlyle area, find the Huntington area location is just a few miles away from work. A short drive, one metro stop or a nice walk from Huntington and you are on Eisenhower Avenue. So a lot of PTO's and NSF's workers have an high interest in properties in Huntington.
Since real estate in Huntington is hot right now, it is a good time to consider selling your home there and moving up to a larger home or different neighborhood that might better suit your lifestyle now. Or if you are an investor ready to cash out this might be a good to for you to sell as well.
If you'd like to discuss the ins and outs, how much cash you'll net if you sell, how long it might take to sell, what to do to get the most money for your home, best areas to move to next, etc. feel free to call me at 804-548-3637. I am accredited, have the experience and knowledge to assist you in a transaction whether you are buying or selling. Once we've talked we will decide if we want to work together.

My Midwest is Showing/
Since moving back to Wisconsin, I often get asked how I'm adjusting to being back in the Midwest. I always answer, "Good!" and then go into some story about my job, or my house, or my website. And the truth is that I am good, but my adjustment has been a lot more complicated than that.
I first went to New York when I was nine years old. It was magical. Truly. I loved every bit of it – my family did too. We went back two years later, shortly after 9/11. I believe it was this trip when I cut a tiny piece of my heart out, and left it in the city to live forever. That's how much I loved New York – I wanted part of me to always be there. I went back to New York for a quick trip when I was 15, and then again when I was 20 or 21 for fashion events. The goal was always to live in New York. I was meant to be there. The people, the places, the vibes, the energy – everything resonated with me and made me feel at home in a way I never did in Wisconsin. I never felt like my interests, style, and energy meshed with the Midwest. As I got older, moving to New York didn't seem realistic, and even though it was still my dream, I started to accept that it might not be in the cards.
Fast forward to October 2012. I was 22, in my senior year of college, and recently engaged. I got a call from my boss at my internship and was offered a job in New York City. I remember crouching on the floor in my tiny apartment in Madison knowing this was it. This was my chance to go where I belonged. To be reunited with that piece of my heart I had left there. Being faced with realizing my dream was scarier than I thought it would be. I actually thought about not moving for a second until my mom said, "You have to do it. This is everything you've worked so hard for." And I did work hard, but really, my parents were the ones who broke their backs to make sure all my dreams would come true. To be offered a dream come true and not accept would be a disservice to all of us. I started making plans immediately, and moved to the city in June of 2013.
New York was amazing, and to be honest, I would have to write a novel to even graze the surface of everything that happened there. But something interesting happened there. After a lifetime of thinking I certainly did not belong in Wisconsin, I realized that I actually am way more of a Midwesterner than I had originally thought. Whether I was walking to the subway with tinfoil covered baked goods, asking for brats at the grocery store, or not batting an eye when a little snow fell, I always found myself thinking, "My Midwest is showing..."
People on the East Coast are really cool – they work hard, are super smart, and seriously have amazing style. I love them. I loved the melting pot of the city – learning about and being exposed to different cultures on a daily basis was something I will always be eternally thankful for. But sometimes, actually almost daily, my Midwestern culture didn't fit in with NYC culture. I don't really want to get into some of the negative things that happened to me, because my time in New York was anything but a negative experience, but I do know that after a particularly hard and painful day at work, I was heading home for the weekend. It was 5am on a Friday, and I ordered an Uber to take me to the airport. I was in a terrible mood, exhausted beyond belief (70 hour work weeks were the norm), and not in the mood for a conversation. Howard, my driver, was in a different mood entirely. He didn't stop talking from the second we both sat down. He told me about his recent visit home to Jamaica, which sounded heavenly, to be honest. Then he looked at me, and said something I'll never forget: "Your soul needs to be replenished. You need to go home. You can't let New York take your soul. That is the key to living here. People change when they move here. New York can give you a lot of nice things, but more than anything, it wants your soul in return. You can't let New York have it." I stared at him in disbelief, then said, "I think you're right, Howard." And I knew that was the exact sign I needed. I did need to go home. And I started my exit plan then, which progressed rather seamlessly and made me think I was just part of a bigger plan already in place. Four months later, I moved back to Wisconsin.
I know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be right now and couldn't be more thrilled to be close to my family. I haven't quite figured out what my purpose here is yet – everyday I kind of float about trying to figure out which path I should take. I hate this feeling, because I've always been very driven with a clear goal in mind. Sometimes I still feel like I don't quite fit in here, but I have a feeling that's just part of being human. I'm learning to go with the flow while this plan unfolds, and have loved meeting so many cool and amazing people through this website. My goal is to shed a light on the smart and talented people of the Midwest and to create a community of people who can support one another.
I couldn't be prouder to be a Midwesterner and to live right here in Wisconsin.

It's routine practice: you need a graphic designer, so you hire a freelancer, firm, or in-house staff to meet the need. Design Pickle doesn't like that though, because they think the graphic design delivery system is broken.
The problem that Design Pickle diagnosed is that graphic design firms and freelancers can't run a profitable business unless they charge exorbitant hourly rates or require large retainers for full time work. Not to mention 75 percent of graphic design needs are for small, quick tasks which aren't substantial like long-term projects.
"Today's businesses move faster than ever before," says Russ Perry, founder of Design Pickle. "They require creative services to move at the same speed."
Perry started Design Pickle after experiencing firsthand how stressful and problematic the traditional model of graphic design could be for businesses that only needed simple tasks done. He built Design Pickle as a unified, digital hub of graphic design services: unlimited requests, revisions, and next-day business turnaround for only $195 a month.
"Design Pickle is next in line to disrupt an entire industry. We aim to be the most reliable, friendly, and valuable graphic design solution on the market," says Perry.
