It is all in good humour and we enjoy it." Justifying her relationship with the choreographer Pooja further says, "You can't help but get intimate with the person while performing a Latino dance form.
You are always holding each other and most of the time you are just six inches away from each other.
Pooja Bedi and Maneck Contractor are both from the same school — The Lawrence School, Sanawar.
"He is based in Goa and was opening a restaurant there. I've been in multiple relationships in the past, so I've learned what is important and what is not." "With Maneck, I can't find one thing about him..personality and his way of being, that I feel is not in synergy with the way I feel and I would not like to be a part of my life.
Shirley Setia singer profile is what we will be revealing today in this article.
If you saw Shirley Setia cute pics you will find it hard to believe that she was a singer that too accomplished. Shirley Setia height is 5 feet and 3 inches and her birthplace was Daman.

Our Intriguing Starlings
Our Intriguing Starlings
Drypoint intaglio print with ink
Hand printed by the artist in Cornwall using Intaglio Etching Ink and natural 300gsm Hahnemuhle acid free specialist printing paper.
This print is one of a limited edition with only 10 prints.
Our Starlings return to our farm year after year and spend all of the winter months with us. This particular group hang out with us all day doing their thing until finally heading to Bodmin Moor every evening to roost and sometimes join other flocks to create amazing murmurations. The wonderful chitter chatter noise they make is just awesome and they give me that lovely warm feeling of just being at home. I am often known to disappear and can usually be found sitting right in the middle of the flock watching and learning from them while they communicate with one another and when no one is looking feed from the silage store. I have a particular infatuation with the magnificent shapes they make when taking off and landing and where their feet and wings are positioned.

I'm about to complete my first 6 months as a yoga teacher after the first HotTT my hot yoga teacher training. And even if it seems like a short period of time compared to the experienced teachers that I have had the chance to learn from, I think that these words may help some of the trainees that are reading through the asana essentials right now.
I will always be thankful for teaching my first public class at the Evolation Yoga Colombiastudio. The studio where I began practicing yoga for the first time, the studio where I was taught how to start aligning my body the proper way and the studio where they encouraged me to go to my teacher training.
after my hot yoga teacher training… teaching in Bogota
My first two public classes weren't as bad as I would have thought, teaching in my language and not in English gave me the boost of confidence that I needed, at least, to get into the heated room. Just as in my hot yoga teacher training, I did not move an inch from my self designated spot during the whole 90 minutes. And every time I became nervous about what I should say next, I would stat improvising – meaning more synonyms in my vocabulary and less on the asana essentials.
Teaching still in my hot yoga teacher training.
What I realized in that very first class though, was the power that my voice (or to be more accurate – my commanding skills) had. Teaching to other trainees is sometimes more challenging for the trainees themselves than for the trainee-teacher that is teaching at the moment. The group of trainees try to help the "teacher to be" by going ahead. Since they obviously know all the postures and can do every little adjustment that the asana essential narrates before the essentials have had a chance to get there. At my hot yoga teacher training I taught a group of people that knew what they were doing better than anybody I'll ever teach at a public class. And yet, I was nervous. We were nervous. So here goes my first piece of advice, relax a little bit. You are not going to make those people suffer; even in a million classes back to back. They are experienced practitioners in a nurturing environment and they know how to take care of their precious bodies.
But back to my first public class. My first class after my hot yoga teacher training was a real challenge. Being late in the day and rainy I only had six people show up. But among those six, four were there for their first class, another guy was taking his second class and the other girl was coming back for her third class. All in all, the six practitioners had a combined 3 classes behind them. And it was my first time teaching.
And here I am guiding them through wind removing pose when I realize that they were all staring at me while they were doing the posture. I didn't look at myself at the mirror but I'm pretty sure that my face turned red. The good thing about this awkward situation was when out of some corner of my mind I remember one of the many bits of advice that we were given during our teaching clinics, "use your voice to make them do what you want them to do." Suddenly I listened to myself saying, "look at the ceiling, conscious breathing, pull a little bit harder." And something amazing happened, they all did as I said; they changed their gaze and stopped looking at me. From that moment on I actually understood that I was a teacher. I was their teacher and they were trusting me. I was so happy after this class that I took a picture so that I will always be able to remember that feeling and my first students.
after my hot yoga teacher training part II….. Santa Barbara!
After this experience I was lucky enough to go back to Santa Barbara and teach at the gorgeous Evolation Yoga Santa Barbara studio that opened last February. The studio that we saw being built during our teacher training. I was also lucky enough to practice again at the house where I learned how to be a teacher. There a weird sensation bubbled up in me. I was nervous as hell teaching to my friends. So here goes my second bit of advice. I promise it will be better after your hot yoga teacher training once you are not surrounded by the intense learning environment. You might not want to leave the bubble, but believe me you are ready, and it will certainly help you as a teacher.
after my hot yoga teacher training part III….. Costa Rica!
Since then I only have good words for my hot yoga teacher training experience. I've been teaching three months in Costa Rica mainly to people that have been introduced to yoga through my classes and I think that is something precious as a yoga teacher. I'm now used to receiving broad smiles after every class. Since the people that come to my classes are new, and the hotel owners have a preset notion of what yoga is, I have to adjust my classes to those around me. There is no heat in any of the studios I've been in (although Costa Rica is plenty hot and humid), classes have been restricted to 60 minutes and I've been demonstrating the hot yoga sequence while teaching. All these thing are very different from the studios I've been in and some of what I learned in my hot yoga teacher training, but I've greatly appreciated each new opportunity to learn. And to be honest, I have to confess that teaching (back in English) and demonstrating at the same time has greatly helped me learn the asana essentials. Now I feel that I can link every movement to every word that I say from my teacher role and now I know that I'm ready for the next step where I'm starting to feel comfortable correcting the students.
These six months have definitely proven to me that I'm on the right path. I love this practice and being able to share this love with people that are open to it is really fulfilling. Not only am I surrounded by broad smiles after every class, I've been also told things like "you've opened me to a whole new world", "you are a natural" or "you have such a sweet and relaxing yoga voice" that encourage me to keep on walking this wonderful path.
Maite Aguirre
Maite is a well traveled Conquistadora from Basque country. After spending a few years in the hustling city of Bogota, Maite walked in to her first Evolation Yoga class to alleviate some stress and was hooked immediately. Eight months after her first class, Maite's studio owner recommended that she should attend TheHotTT to take her to the next level in her practice. During TheHotTT, Maite's understanding and physical abilities quickly grew. After her 500 hour certification through the HotTT, Maite has several studios in North and Central America lined up that she could teach at. She has recently traveled through Canada, USA, and Central America teaching yoga and has plans to teach yoga though Spain. Head to YogaDuo.com, to keep up with her adventures.

I think I've raved about Galena enough but I couldn't finish writing about this incredible city without one more round-up. I give you...8 reasons you will love Galena. These are my eight favorite moments, sites, tastes, etc. from my trip poured into one post telling you why you'll love this place. To be quite honest, now is the time to visit of any. The trees should be turning (hopefully) any day now and the scenery is bound to be breathtaking. If I weren't leaving for my next destination in two weeks, I'd be tempted to go back very soon. But until then, these memories will have to be good enough.
1. The drive. Driving to Galena is probably one of the most scenic routes you could take in the Midwest. I've been on a few road trips in my time but I'm usually sleeping through them. Once you pass all the flat farmland, you start to get into a more hilly terrain which is full of beautiful overlooks and tree-lined streets. It's incredible.
2. The history. You can feel the history all over Galena. From random antique shops in the middle of nowhere to the old mansions downtown. It's like taking a step back in time only in much more comfortable clothes.
3. The people. They are quite friendly. I've never had so many people I didn't know say hello to me before. It's weird at first being someone who likes to mind their own business but it's really great once you get used to it. Nothing beats traveling to an amazing city that also has kind, friendly people.
4. The food. There is so much food, so many incredible places to eat. Try and eat somewhere different every time you eat out. I always find that to be the best way to experience as much as possible. Also, take some food to go a time or two and have a picnic.
5. Unplugging is easy. Sometimes it can be really hard to let go of technology and email and text messaging, even when you're on vacation. Galena is so beautiful and so charming that you won't even think about that stuff. The only thing you might be tempted to do is snap a ton of photos to capture all the beauty. Next thing you know, you're leaving with a completely refreshed brain that hasn't been stressed out from emails in days!
6. Shopping is actually fun. Because it's interesting. I loved walking into new shops down Main Street just to see what I'd find.
7. There's always something going on. There has to be a different festival or fair every weekend. It's almost impossible to be bored in Galena because they've always got something up their sleeve. Even on weekends that aren't celebrating something in particular, you can find tours, celebrations or events at wineries to enjoy.
8. You will naturally relax. Because you're quite literally surrounded by nature, your getaway has a built-in stress reliever. Getting a massage might still be a must but you definitely won't need it to relax while you're visiting.
Make sure to check out my other posts chronicling my time in Galena. Coming up soon is my trip to Peoria and make sure you're following LWASOC on Instagram because in two weeks I'll be en route to a three week trip. Reveal coming soon!

Researchers discover how young children seem to run around all day without getting tired: their muscles resist fatigue and recover in the same way as elite endurance athletes. The study, which compared energy output and post-exercise recovery rates of young boys, untrained adults and endurance athletes, can be used to develop athletic potential in children and improve our knowledge of how disease risk, such as diabetes, increases as our bodies change from childhood to adulthood.

A few months back I featured Cleo Tucker's track 'Never Loved Anyway' as my Song of the Day. I liked it so much, it finished in the top 5 of all my favorite songs of 2014. It was punky, fun, and bubbling over with attitude. Now she's released a new track that's a polar opposite of 'Never Loved Anyway, and what she's doing with her band Girlpool. Girlpool gets all the press, well deserved too, but damn if Cleo isn't making some fine music by herself.
'In Bloom (From You)' is soft and muted, and frankly just damned lovely. This is late night heartbreaker music, stream it below, it's my Song of the Day!

Description: For Janie and Cabel, real life is getting tougher than the dreams. They're just trying to carve out a little (secret) time together, but no such luck.
Disturbing things are happening at Fieldridge High, yet nobody's talking. When Janie taps into a classmate's violent nightmares, the case finally breaks open -- but nothing goes as planned. Not even close. Janie's in way over her head, and Cabe's shocking behavior has grave consequences for them both.
Worse yet, Janie learns the truth about herself and her ability -- and it's bleak. Seriously, brutally bleak. Not only is her fate as a dream catcher sealed, but what's to come is way darker than she'd feared..
The Good Stuff
- Even better than book 1 of the trilogy
- Love the honesty between Cabel and Janie
- Storyline is so fascinating I didn't want to put it down - thank god my toddler had a long nap and the book wasn't too long
- A non stop exciting read. I enjoyed her sparse writing style a lot better this time, since I was more used to it
- sex scene was done very sensitively
- Love authors way of writing dialogue - funny stuff up there with Whedon and speaking of Whedon loved the Buffy comments
- Love, Love the Police Captain
- Some very bleak disturbing plot points about Janie's future
- Some of the scenes with the teachers was quite disturbing for the intended audience
"Can we rearrange the furniture this weekend?" she asks sleepily. "So when I sleep out here, you don't shine all of Satan's fiery hell lights in my eyes first thing in the morning?"
"I'm glad you're taking that class. You're really getting buff, you know that? It's very sexy. As long as you're not beating me up."
"Captain suppresses a smile. "I'd make you stay home if I didn't know you'd sneak out, anyway. While you are watching in agony, feel free to take note of anyone who comes or goes that's not on the list."
Who should/shouldn't read
- For the more mature YA reader as their is sex and a disturbing date rate scene (not overly graphic but the imagery is there so just a heads up)
I borrowed this from Kiera

Well, I've finaly got it running. The problem for me was caused by the configuration of IIS on my Win2k3Srv. By default IIS on Win2k3Srv has disabled all extentions, after installing PHP this extention has been enabled automaticly but there is another that should be enabled: "All unknown CGI extentions". After enabling this and configuring the config.xml of Crossfire to the correct port of my Firefly server things work fine, browsing, searching and playimg mp3 files.

Missional Blog-fest
On June 23rd, more than 50 bloggers will blog in response to this one question - "What is missional?" Rick Meigs, who founded the Friend of Missional site, has called for something akin to a Missional Blog-fest in order to reclaim the term "missional" - primarily because of it has become a junk-drawer word - overly and wrongly used.

Anthony Johnson: – I'll be honest, I was never a fighter.
Anthony Johnson: – I'll be honest, I was never a fighter.
In a recent interview with MMAJunkie he spoke with them about his future and why he retired.
AJ – "I love myself. A lot of guys don't think about that. They want to get into these battles, and just wars, and I'm not about that life. I'll be honest – I was never a fighter. Fighting was natural to me in a way. because I was so athletic; I caught on to everything quick. I was never meant to fight. I was meant to do something else, something greater in life. It was just time for me to move on, and I wanted to be able to have kids and be able to talk to them and play around with them by the time I'm 45.
"I know a lot of these guys already have kids that are in the UFC and MMA, and they get knocked silly. My man Diego Sanchez has taken some hits, bro, and he's dropping. I remember watching him on 'The Ultimate Fighter' and he was killing it. Now, these guys are younger, bigger, and faster, stronger … and I don't want to go out like that. If those guys want to do that to themselves, go ahead. That's your life, that's your body, that's your future. But for me, I'm destined to do something greater."
Looks like he's actually very intelligent about his career and is really looking to the future. He got in with the best of them, he's knocked out the best of them and he's fought for the title. He hasn't got anything to prove. When it comes to his future and still being healthy at an older age he's got a great point.
Lets hope he sets a new trend and more fighters get out of the game before it's to late. Well done Rumble!

Q&A: Running with Coach G.
With over a decade of coaching experience, elite ultra-marathon runner and POSE master training coach Gil Cramer knows a thing or two about running. Known as Coach G, he is the go-to source of all things running. In this insightful and inspiring interview, he shares with us his experiences and knowledge about this sport.
SP: How did you get into running?
When I was younger, I never ran and didn't see the point of it, until my brother convinced me to join a training session with our school's track team. The track team then led to the cross country team and that is where I really started to enjoy running. I always struggled to concentrate in the classroom, and being outdoors, off the beaten tracks, running through mud, jumping over logs, that was the fun part about school that I loved. However, I was always injured; from knee problems, to ankle pains and a sore back. When you're young you can just brush it off however at some point, the pain became more prominent than the enjoyment and I decided to put running aside for a while.
SP: How did you get back into running again?
After going through a whole range of other sports including mountain biking at a competitive level, boxing, body building and mixed martial arts, I always felt like something was missing. One of my friends persuaded me to sign-up for a race called the 'Tough Guy'; and obstacle course with an 8-mile run. As I started to train for the run, all my injuries came back. I started doing a lot of research and eventually heard about the 'Pose method'. I read their books and started to incorporate their drills into my training and soon I ran better and more comfortably. It worked and I wanted to learn more, so I booked myself on one of their courses. I finally started to enjoy running again and I was able to run further than before with no pain.
SP: Is that what inspired you to become a running coach?
Yes. I want to share the enjoyment of running, and help people suffering injuries or frustrations with running. I want to share the knowledge that I have gained and help my athletes achieve the best results. That has led me down the path of being the Pose master coach for the UK, where I teach other coaches how to help their athletes.
SP: With so many years of running experience, what is the best advice you have received?
One of the best pieces of advice I have ever received is to always be present. We often try to run away from our problems, we put our headphones on and blast music to try to forget what's making us sad or angry. I believe running is pure, it's all about being in the moment and appreciating where you are at that particular time.
SP: There was a time where you stopped running for a while, what keeps you motivated now?
I try to pick events or goals that interest me, that excites me and that makes me want to train and prepare. As races become more and more popular, I hear a lot more of people talking about losing their motivation. It might not be that you are struggling with your training but you are struggling with your goal. If you are not motivated, find out why. Is doing that race or event really what you want to do? And why?
SP: As an ultra marathon runner, nutrition must be so important! What is your advice on nutrition for runners?
This is a tricky one as everyone wants a quick fix and unfortunately there is no such thing. My advice in general is to keep a healthy lifestyle, eat natural foods and stay away from processed foods. That is my number one advice for anybody who starts training with me – get rid of processed foods as they are the worst possible thing to put into your body! I use a principle called the MATH method which is attached to your heart rate and general health. It is all about being the healthiest you can be because when you are healthy, you train better and move better.
SP: There are so many fads and information about running out there. What is your take on that?
The first thing I will say to beginner runners, get your technique right. De-clutter and go down to the basics (no gadgets, nothing fancy). In any other sport, you are first taught how to move correctly – whether it is how to bat or field in cricket, how to throw a punch in boxing, how to stroke and breathe in swimming. Running is the only sport where we are just expected to know how to move regardless of whether we move efficiently or inefficiently. There is no right or wrong way to run, but there is a way that is going to be less painful and more effortless. Technique is key, so don't be afraid to ask questions!
SP: How would you recommend beginner runners to include running into their workout routine and build up their running?
People who don't run often can get nervous about running. Especially when they see other people running and think 'I can never do that'. My advice is to include running as a little part of a bigger workout, whether it is just a warm-up exercise or a few sprints in the park. Running is about finding what works best for you and not what looks best on Instagram or the distance you achieve on your running app. Remember, there are no rules about running!
Coach G will be leading our next running workshop on the 24th of July. It is FREE so sign-up here before spaces fill up!

Scientists at Germany's University of Augsburg have dramatically increased the electrical capacity of a promising superconducting material. Its most recent configuration transmits up to six times more current than its earlier counterparts. While the material is currently in the form of a 0.5-in.2 wafer, researchers hope to construct sections long enough to function as power cables.
In the past, the construction of nonresisting, superconducting wires has been both expensive and time-consuming. These devices are generally built as metal-and-ceramic tapes. Gaps in the crystalline structure of such devices have limited their electric capacity. The material being studied by the university's research team, led by Jochen Mannhart, is such a superconducting wire. Yet the scientists have bridged gaps in the crystalline structure to enhance electric capacity.
The team began with yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO), which becomes a superconductor when chilled to −320°C using liquid nitrogen. Then, the team grew layers of YBCO doped with small amounts of calcium. The calcium-doped layers were placed between layers of pure YBCO. Next, the calcium migrated within the structure and bridged the gaps between the crystals. This alteration in the structure of the YBCO lets it transmit several hundred thousand amperes through each half-inch square.
While the experiment has resulted in three to six times the current capacity in the YBCO material, researchers believe that ten times the normal electric capacity is possible through further manipulation of the crystalline structure. Also, a similar approach may conceivably increase the transmission capabilities of other superconducting materials.
High-performance superconductors could reduce power interruptions in power grids. Engine and transformer design may also benefit from such superconductors. Experts believe that true commercial viability of such applications is at least five years away.
For details about this experiment, go to www.physik.uni-augsburg.de.

Slot machines include a currency detector that validates the money inserted to play.
Machines commonly have three reels, but can be found with four or five reels with around sixteen to twenty-four symbols printed trucchi casino online free around them.
Scatter symbol is a special symbol, which means the wild symbol cannot replace.

Begonia staudtii is a yellow-flowered African species often confused in cultivation with the VERY SIMILAR, yet far more difficult to get, "true" Begonia microsperma. It's compact enough for larger terrariums, or definitely grown as a stunning accent in a shady humid greenhouse. Stunningly attractive when full grown and blooming.Note: From what we've seen, for many years most plants dispersed as B. microsperma in the USA have actually been Begonia staudtii and thus creating a lot of confusion. So, if you have a B. "microsperma" (even those from us that you obtained prior to Sept 2016), there's a good chance that you're growing B. staudtii. The discernable differences between these two species are not great - however, "True" B. microsperma has somewhat slimmer / narrower leaf outline with a more distinct drip-point to the leaf tip. The petioles (leaf stems) of B. microsperma are comparatively sparsely bristled, while those of B. staudtii's are quite hirsute.
These are husky, established, cutting-grown plants, currently in 3-4" pots.

Reality Check: WikiLeaks Confirm, Don't Drive, Reasons For Protests
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
The protests in Egypt and other Arab countries have been the first sweeping political movement to develop in the age of WikiLeaks. Of course, leaked diplomatic documents and revolutions are not strangers. In 1917, during the Russian Revolution, the Bolsheviks published diplomatic documents that the czarist foreign ministry had kept secret. Among those documents was the agreement by which Britain and France had secretly carved up the Middle East.
Well, there was nothing quite that earthshaking in the WikiLeaks cables about Tunisia or Egypt. But the massive quantity of newly publicized U.S. diplomatic reports has contributed to the discourse and the defense of the protests.
Ian Black is Middle East editor of The Guardian, the British daily that's published much of the WikiLeaks cable release.
And, Ian Black, how would you describe the way in which people have cited the WikiLeaks cables in all these events?
Mr. IAN BLACK (Middle East Editor, The Guardian): Well, what's happening now in the case of Egypt is that people who have access to the WikiLeaks documents are finding that it is a terrific resource. If you want to know something about Omar Suleiman, the new Egyptian vice president, then you dip into this extraordinary database and find lots of references to him from the American Embassy in Cairo and indeed from all over the Middle East because he's a figure who is well-known on the international diplomatic circuit.
So what we're seeing is journalists, the media using WikiLeaks to give richer background detail to the stories that they're doing. And the Egyptian case is the first time - it's the biggest story, if you like, that's emerged since then. Of course, Tunisia was a similar case, but that was on a lesser scale, perhaps.
SIEGEL: Yes. There was - in Tunisia, protesters didn't need the U.S. Embassy cable to tell them that their government was very corrupt, but there was an embassy cable that certainly confirmed that the U.S. government understood how corrupt it was and that Washington would not be able to contest that claim in any way.
Mr. BLACK: There were a couple of extraordinary powerful documents written by the then-American ambassador to Tunisia, and he described in really rich detail how this regime of Ben Ali, the now former president, was alienated from and hated by its own people. He particularly focused on the corruption and the cronyism and the nepotism that surrounded the president's family and particularly his wife's family, who, of course, were known and widely disliked in Tunisia.
But I think the effect of seeing the black and white assessment of -private assessment, of course - of the American ambassador did something to give those Tunisians seeking greater freedoms and democracy a sense that they weren't alone in how they saw their own rulers.
SIEGEL: Now, one of the most newsworthy of all of the U.S. diplomatic cables to be made public by WikiLeaks involved Yemen - a cable documenting the Yemeni president's duplicity in letting the U.S. strike at al-Qaida targets in his country while he would claim that Yemeni forces were doing it. Has that cable figured much in the Yemen protests, or have they been more about food prices and such?
Mr. BLACK: Well, I think that when the WikiLeaks cables about Yemen first came out, it was obviously big news in Yemen. It confirmed, if you like, I think what people suspected. That is the duplicity of the president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who was caught in this document admitting that he had lied to his own people about the attacks on al-Qaida. And that did cause some problems. There were questions asked in the Yemeni parliament. There were accusations that Saleh was in the pockets of the Americans, exactly, of course, the impression that he was trying to avoid when speaking privately.
But I think you're right that as unrest across North Africa and the Middle East has unfolded, it's been the fundamental factors that have motivated people, whether it's of rising food prices or unemployment or sense of general hopelessness and anger at corrupt and unaccountable governments. Those, I think, are the drivers, if you like, of this wave of unrest that began in Tunisia, and we're now seeing embracing Egypt.
The WikiLeaks revelations, I think, at most, provide confirmation that America, after all the most powerful country on Earth, knows what is really happening. Of course, that does not always show the United States in a good light, but that, I think, isn't the main point. It's confirmation of what people in these countries know and feel intuitively to be the case.
SIEGEL: Ian Black, thanks for talking with us.
Mr. BLACK: Thank you.
SIEGEL: Ian Black spoke to us from London, where he is Middle East editor of The Guardian.

RUMORS: Detroit structures you aren't hearing about
We've all heard about the many buildings of Detroit that are abandoned, decayed, burned, and left to crumble. What about the buildings that haven't been maligned and left to die? For the first complete series of RUMORS I wanted to highlight structures that not only haven't fallen into disrepair, but instead could pass for structures of the future. Within this series are architectural milestones, charter schools that replaced their rotting counterparts, and glass so gleaming the only reflections are that of hope and growth. Perception is a powerful tool, I hope this series gives a glimpse of a more promising Detroit.

How to be a morning person
The moment you hear the buzzing of your alarm, you become a different person. Your hand moves without your consent. Somehow, the snooze button has turned off completely.
Three hours later, your eyes flutter open. Shit. You're late.
…Sound like you, night owl?
Mornings aren't for everyone. Your internal clock is wired by genetics–so it's more your body's fault than your own willpower. But, it's also been proven that on the whole, morning birds are more happy and more productive than people who burn the midnight oil.
As an Adult, we only have so many hours in the day–we should try to at least use them consciously (hey, I'm not saying a Netflix day is a bad thing). Being in pajamas all day is one thing, but making your morning start before 1PM is another.
So, how do you do it? How do you motivate yourself to open your eyes before mid-day?
Pick out your clothes. Pack your bags. Make your lunch. Prepare your coffee.
These little tasks seem tedious, but when you already have the most annoying parts of the morning out of your way, you can spend more time doing others (or sleeping a few extra minutes).
Also, you can start your day feeling more prepared, and less strapped for time. Who hasn't experienced a morning where you were running around with one sock on, and your entire closet on the floor?
Mornings should be sacred–like anything else in your life, the more preparation you put in, the better.
Before you to go sleep, think of one activity in your upcoming day that you want to accomplish. Whether it's resolving a frustrating Excel formula, or getting Chipotle for lunch–what excites you, even a little bit?
As an Adult, the little things are just as important as the Big.
And sometimes, you need to give yourself time to think through an issue. We already know that spending a few minutes thinking before bed can help you wake up in the morning with a solution. But, also spend some time in that hazy state between dreams and reality when you first open your eyes visualizing your day.
Procrastinators of the world: stop pressing the snooze button.
I know some of Us will continue to press snooze for hours–it's almost like a rite of passage. But, keep your alarm far, far away from your bed. If you force yourself to get out of bed to turn it off, then you're already awake. And at that point, waking up doesn't seem as half bad.
When you allow yourself to push off even small tasks, like waking up, it bleeds into other parts of your life. Deadlines and relationships don't have a snooze button. Part of Adulting is sitting up in bed and forcing yourself out of it–even when you don't want to.
According to Elle Woods, endorphins make you happy, right?
We've all heard the statistics that successful people exercise in the morning. But, we're not crazy robots here–I'm not advocating for a 5am wake up to go to Cross Fit.
Speaking from personal experience, exercising in the AM hours provides you with a huge amount of energy, and something already checked off your To-Do list. It allows you time to think, and reflect. And, it lets you spend time in those morning hours without talking to anyone–so by the time you get to work, you've already gotten through your worst hour.
And it makes those shitty 9AM meetings a little bit more tolerable.
Mornings are easier when you have (somewhat) fun activities to do. Do you love writing? Give yourself 5 minutes in the morning to get your thoughts out. Does the smell of coffee make you smile? Use that as motivation to get out of bed.
Find the things that make you happy in the morning, and continue to do them. Make them a habit. When you start to wake up at a similar time each day, and have an (enjoyable) routine, you actually want to continue doing it. And don't forget–weekends still count.
It takes 30 days to make a habit. Start with Day One.

Another way to recycle backyard tools that aren't being occupied is by turning your wood rake into a rack for anything you use outside! Hang your gardening tools, your dog's leash, a hat, or even decorative items to make use of everything in your home.
Birdseed Wreath
Make a treat for your neighborhood chickadees and create a wreath shaped bird feeder. It makes for a nice DIY and natural decoration and keeps the birds from eating leftovers from yesterday's barbeque.
Mason Jar Lanterns
Hanging mason jars with candles or even battery powered lights can make for a very dainty vintage looking decoration. You can scatter them across your yard as a path for light or just hang them on an alter.
Patio Area
Have a spacious backyard? Choose a flattering tile pattern that matches with your backyard's theme, renovate and create a small decorative patio area. This can serve for summer parties, get-togethers, family bonding days, and seasons to come!
Backyard Hammock
The days get hot and a resting area in the open air is luxurious in the summer. Add a hammock to your backyard for a serene reading, hanging, or even napping place. Pair it up with some pillows or a blanket to wrap up the look.
Have an empty garden fence around your yard or a few empty tree branches? Decorate them with store bought or even DIY birdhouses to add some color and have a designated spot for the birds to get their daily snack!

I know calling them "stupid" is super ignorant of me but I do not know how else to label these people who say and do things that are so ridiculous and not smart so I just use the general term of stupid.
They are everywhere. The guy that fingers me because I don't stop in the middle of a round about to let him in. Stupid.
The person at work who makes selfish decisions that have nothing to do with anything and ultimately wastes a ton of time. My time. Stupid.
The list could go on and on. I deal with a ton of stupid people during the week at random but I also have stupid people in my day to day life at work, in my circle of friends and in my family. It doesn't necessarily mean I care for them any less bit their words and actions tend to be stupid based on a regular basis.
And now, I'm putting my foot down. If you want to live your life a certain way, operate your business a certain way, parent a certain way, etc., that is 100% on you. I know that has always been the case but no more helping or giving advice - my breath has been wasted too many times.
It is time to concentrate on the smart people in my life and although I will never throw away any of the stupids - they are just now officially on the back burner. You don't care? Great - neither do I.
No more arguing with stupid (or hypocrites or people who change their mind as quickly and as frequently as they change their underwear) - such a waste of time. It might have taken me forever to have this Oprah AHA moment but it is here to stay and I feel lighter already.

When University of Illinois Springfield women's basketball coach Marne Fauser signed nine new players last offseason, she had an idea of what she wanted. Her vision is taking shape.
When University of Illinois Springfield women's basketball coach Marne Fauser signed nine new players last offseason, she had an idea of what she wanted.
Her vision is taking shape.
The Prairie Stars got their first Great Lakes Valley Conference victory in January, then they won a road league game on Valentine's Day. The season culminated with UIS beating Lewis 72-69 in its season finale Saturday.
The Stars finished with an 8-18 overall record and a 3-15 GLVC mark, an improvement on last year's 3-24 and 0-17 records.
"Some of my colleagues said we would be playing better at the end of the year," Fauser said.
A youth movement helped spark the Stars' growth.
"The last month, we had four or five people who scored in double figures in games," UIS freshman guard Megan Bergerud said. "We shared the ball really well."
Two of the Stars' top scorers were freshmen, with guard Alyssa Palmer leading the way. The only key senior on this year's roster was Paulina Pogorzelski, who averaged 9.9 points and 7 rebounds per game.
Fresh(man) faces
Palmer moved into the starting lineup in January. She averaged a team-high 11.2 points per game and led the team in assists with 72. Palmer and Drury's Bethanie Funderburk are the sole freshmen among the GLVC's top 22 scorers.
Bergerud was third in scoring at 10 points and second in rebounding with 10.8 rebounds per game.
Junior transfer Bailey Beale's 64 3-pointers rank No. 3 in the GLVC. She was the team's second-leading scorer with an average of 10.8 points.
"Palmer really came on around the beginning of January," Fauser said. "You really saw the light click with her.
"Megan had some really good days, then she had some days that weren't her best games. Amanda Hainlen started to play a lot better toward the middle of January. Mallory Beck was like Megan. She had some really good games and she had some days that weren't so good."
As the freshmen were acclimating to the college game, the young team was searching for its identity. Poor shooting plagued the Stars in many games. However, UIS managed to win three of its final five.
"We definitely had better chemistry toward the end of the season," Beck said. "We lost to Quincy by (35) the first time we played them.
"We were right there the second time we played Quincy (in a 86-74 loss) and able to hang with a team that was nationally ranked. That says a lot and shows how far we came since the beginning of the season."
Lighting the fire
A late rally in an 82-74 loss to Missouri-St. Louis in January seemed to jump start UIS. The Stars snapped a nine-game losing streak the next game and won four of the final nine.
"When we were playing UMSL, we were down 18 with just a few minutes left and the next thing you know it's a six-point game with 34 seconds left," Fauser said. "They never gave up, and that's really important."
With just one returning player taller than 6 feet, a priority on Fauser's to-do list is adding size to the roster with new recruits. She has already signed Culver (Ind.) Community High School senior Gwen Zehner, a 6-foot-1 true post player.
"There are other pieces to this puzzle we need to add to, but I am excited about the future," Fauser said.
Marcia Martinez can be reached at 788-1547.

Join Jim Rogers for an in-depth discussion in this video The process: How does it start?, part of Construction Management Foundations.
- Okay, as we move forward keep in mind…that by the definition we just established,…the process always starts with an owner who has a need.…Now for our discussion here I'm going to say…it doesn't really matter whether that owner's…an individual or an organization like…a business or government agency.…It also doesn't matter whether…the project is simple or complex.…It all starts the same.…An owner has a need and that owner has…some vision of what they want to build…to fulfill that need.…Now somehow we need to get those ideas and thoughts…out of the owner and turn them into construction plans…and specifications that we can follow in the field.…
This is step one.…This is where the architect comes in.…Some people refer to this initial phase as programming,…and it involves a series of meetings,…interviews, and questionnaires that are designed…to pull information out of the owner…in order to design a facility that meets that owner's needs.…This process really takes a very special…and unique set of skills and we had the opportunity…
Whether you're a construction industry veteran looking to switch roles or a brand new construction manager trying to get your bearings, this course provides you with meaningful insights into this vital, evolving industry and your role in it.

6 New Apartment Essentials and Moving Tips
Over the past 10 years, we have moved A LOT (a combined 23 different locations!!). There's an excitement that comes with moving into a new space, but there can be a lot of headaches and hassles with each move as well. Then, just when you think you're finally getting settled into your new spot and have figured out how to adapt to your apartment's quirks, you've got to start thinking about your next move! Sound familiar? Depending on where you live and your current stage of life, this may ring all too true!
Luckily, given all the moves we've made nearly every year for the last decade, we've learned a TON about streamlining the moving process and some hacks for making a temporary living space feel a little more like home. We've put together a list of the essential items that have made each new apartment feel like home to us.
6 New Apartment Essentials
#1 Rugs
You might really like those hardwood floors at your new place, and the temptation to plop your furniture down and run will be VERY strong after your move, but don't succumb to barren floors! Rugs are one of those subtle touches that bring a room together and make it feel comfortable and inviting. They are one of the key elements that will make a room feel settled and lived in.
#2 Artwork
And we don't just mean prints or paintings! In fact, there's a ton of ways you can incorporate design and decor on your walls: shelves with objects, uniquely shaped clothing racks, calligraphy, prints, photographs, paintings, and really anything that adds some life to your walls. One of the worst things about renting is those depressingly empty, usually off-white, plain, undecorated walls. If your apartment is filled with only functional items, it will feel like a bachelor or bachelorette pad. Art will bring lived-in life to those sad, lifeless walls!
#3 Mattress
Do not (I repeat DO NOT!) sacrifice on comfort! Most of our waking hours during the week are not actually spent in our apartments, so one of the most important parts of feeling at home is being comfortable in your room. We're re-styling our bedroom right now and are loving how much more at home we feel in our bedroom already. We often talk about if we someday buy a home we'll be looking for a decent sized master bedroom and (fingers crossed!) a king size bed!!
#4 Plants
Similar to art, plants give LIFE to a home. Quite literally. We've even named our plants which really gives a whole new feel to seeing our green guys growing up! There's something so fresh and lively about having plants around and it's SUCH a simple way to make your place feel like home.
#5 Lighting
Gah... worse than the evil off-white walls that all landlords seem to have secretly agreed is suitable punishment for their tenants is the ubiquitous flourescent overhead lighting fixture! Your first lesson in Adulting 101: buy some decorative ambient lighting fixtures. You will not regret your purchases.
#6 Storage
Living in the city, you won't always have the luxury of extra storage space for food or clothing items. Part of making your apartment your own will be about organizing your things and finding a way to store them. In our current apartment, we have pretty good closet space, but we needed some additional kitchen storage. We added a wall rack for some of our pots and pans, and we built our own DIY pipe shelves and DIY clothing rack to create a pantry off our kitchen. We especially love our pipe shelves because they are customizable and relatively easy to dissamble, so if our next place doesn't have as much space we can build the shelves in a different arrangement.
Special thanks to Casper for partnering with us on this post. Keep scrolling for a few moving hacks from Casper and from us to get you into your new apartment more quickly with less headaches, so you can start making it feel like home!

On the Little Women: LA episode 'Pre-Pop Party,' before pregnant Briana Renee is taken to the hospital, she voices her concern regarding Christy McGinity Gibel. According to the Lifetime preview, Briana "questions Christy's involvement with her legal troubles and wonders if she [Christy] is breaking her sobriety." In January 2015, Gibel announced she turned five years sober.
In one scene, Briana tells her husband Matt: "I don't know what's wrong with her (Christy). Is she taking pills?" Matt responds by pretending to pop a pill in his mouth. In another scene, Terra Jole says that she too thought Christy "was taking drugs." Little Women: LA airs Wednesdays at 9pm on Lifetime.

Nutrition is one of the most important strategies to put into your daily life for balance and wellbeing. It is important that you have balance for that holistic perspective. The human body is an absolutely amazing piece of machinery, knowing exactly what you need but in this day and age with out fast life styles and fast food. Everything to be had now, to feed and maintain the no time to do anything factor. This lifestyle is obviously not the healthiest for us.
Did you know that our bodies are hosts to other living organisms, without which, we ourselves would not be healthy. There are so many little organisms – bacteria that we need in order to break down our food and aid in our digestion process. These tiny microscopic living organisms called microbiome come in their multitudes. Too much can make us unwell but the right balance regulates our food balance intake and to some extent controls our digestive system. if your Gut flora is off-balance, rest assured you will be off-balance.
If you have heard of the term that your stomach is your second brain, then you would not be wrong. Your stomach has as many nerve endings as a cats brain, so is it any wonder that when you feel anxious you feel it in your stomach, when you are in an altered state, you also feel your clairsentience within your stomach. Some of the best foods to take in order to rectify your gut flora are:
- Prebiotic which are: onions, leeks and Dandelion. There isn't any scientific proof that prebiotics actually work but it is worth giving them a shot. If in doubt paste prebiotics into google and initiate a little research of your own.
- Probiotics, which are bacteria, such as acidophilus and bio bacillus. You can find them in certain tablets/supplements and other foods such as Kefir a polish yogurt drink, which has about 8 different types of bacteria in it. Sauerkraut, which smells disgusting but actually tastes alright albeit a bit fizzy, which is from the many bacteria in it. No good buying from a well-known supermarket outlet or you will end up with a pasteurised version, which will have all of the good bacteria killed off. (however the elderly and infirm would need to check with their Doctors first as this can exacerbate infections in some cases. These bacteria may reduce anxiety, sleep problems and in some instances change the way you view food and promote weight loss. However, where weight problems are involved, such as emotional eating, your relationship with food would benefit being looked into.
- Further enhance your wellbeing with Meditation. Meditation has so many different capabilities and a couple in particular are peace and harmony within your own mind and body. As only 30% of stress is external, the other 70% we create ourselves. You can choose any great meditation for yourself, or look at my online shop in order to purchase one of the cds that I have produced. Meditation can reduce anxiety and stress and if while you are meditating you focus your mind on certain parts of your body, not only can it reduce stress but you may be able to focus your anti bodies to remove or partially remove fat cells or other bad cells, however if you embark on this journey it would be an experimental adventure of your own, despite reports of positive physical changes when illness is present in what ever form.
- Another wonderful self-help remedy that you could you is 'A Cold Shower!" I now it sounds scary but it releases positive feel good endorphins into your body that help irradiate, anxiety, stress and depression. Give it a go, you can't say it doesn't work unless you have tried it. I have actually tried it and you only need about 30 seconds to 1 minute of freezing, gasping breath water… to feel a difference. I would not condone it, if I had not tried it. I also use prebiotics and probiotics. Well worth a shot.

Ready to Go
This week has passed very quickly. I think that's pretty normal for the days right before a big holiday, but I've also spent a lot of my free time with Julia, which seems to make time pass faster somehow.
Tuesday evening I went with her to decorate Christmas cookies at her parents' place. I'm not one of those people who puts a ton of importance on meeting someone's parents, and so, it's never a big deal for me. We had a very good time and I think things went well -- her mom was very interested in finding out as much as she could about me, so we didn't run short on topics to talk about. The whole family seemed inordinately interested in the fact that we met online, but I suppose if you met the old fashioned way that would seem pretty weird and newfangled. Anyway, it went well and I scored a few cookies in the deal.
Otherwise, work has been filled with meetings and me trying to get ahead a bit before I vacate for the holidays next week. I'm looking forward to the trip home, but it still doesn't seem like I'm leaving as soon as I am. I'm sure it will hit me this weekend. I'm already planning to have everything ready to go on Saturday. Now I just have to figure out if I'm sending anything home before I leave. I'll get it done tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow. I'd planned to take the day off in order to do some shopping, but I think I'll only manage to take a half day so that I can meet with my boss and get a few things finalized before I leave.
Oh, for lunch today we went to the newly-opened billiards room in the new part of the Bellevue mall. It's a great bar and restaurant with a ton of tables. I really liked the food I had and it will be fun to have a place to play pool. I'm sure Seth and I will hike over there on many evenings for pool and dinner. Sounds really fun, actually.
Okay, talk to you soon. Time for bed.

Hey guys,
So i promise i have been reading…but havent been writing it out. Which is stupid on my part. I have some time today so i am getting my butt into gear and actually writing it out. Geez where to begin. Im reading Romans 13 today. And yet again it connects to life. You know what i do? I ignore it lol. So thats why im reading it a 2nd time. Let me start out with this. Lately my smallgroup has been challenging me to step out of my box (the comfortable life i choose to stay in). Its funny how things happen, because as soon as i start to do that its like my life goes crazy. I know its a form of spiritual warfare…but it just sucks. I try to get out of my modes and something is trying to keep me in my comfort zone. Recently ive been trying to get out of my self-centeredness. Ive had the last 2 weeks of messages and conversations that get brought up about how i need to get rid of myself and my desires. I even had a 'God Moment' where the same message was impressed on my heart. You would think oh i should be all happy about it, but no … im scared to death. It comes down to that im scared to listen to God. The message this week at Sandals was all about that too. God knows me way to good. He knows i HAVE to hear it about 30+ times to get it. My wife will stop at only 3 or 4 times at telling me something lol. You know, i sometimes wish Christianity was easy. In may ways im glad that its not, because if it was up to me … my life would suck. Anywayz ive been talking alot and ill briefly go over what i read. romans 13
1Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.
So im totally doing my taxes right now, and im going nuts. I havent made any money, why should the freaking government take some more money from me. I think i made 23 bucks in August. thats what … 1/2 a tank of gas? Still God wants me to respect our government, even though we are in the midst of a recession. crazy. Next.
8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Once again, this is what ive am striving for. Love people. Hell i struggle to love my wife 100% of the time. But this is my biggest prayer right now.
Sorry for the lack of insight on this chapter … i get distracted with things that come up every 10 to 20 mins or so lol. plus this comp keeps freezing 😦
Filed under: Readings
Alright guys, don't know if anyone even follows blogs anymore. Which its not for you anyways…its for me! You can read if you like though.
I've been reading 1st Corth for a while and I'm on chapter 13. Great one to start blogging on lol. Its the famous 'love' chapter. Starting off I'm going to tell you my own bias' and insecurities about love. I have a hard time loving people and myself. Throughout my life i wanted to know i was loved (who doesn't), only I received back disappointment after disappointment from people and things. I learned early on that to love means that I will probably get hurt…so why love. So I'm very apathetic towards alot of things in life. Once again…my signature sin is the need to avoid pain. I wanted to avoid me getting hurt, so the easiest way to do that is to not love or let people love me. So easy to twist something meant for good to become evil. So coming to this passage i have deep resentment for love. Even though i have grown out of my isolationism and self-centeredism i still have a hard time trusting it. Paul starts off in verse 2 and 3 saying,
if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing.
For me I could do everything right…but if i don't love its worth nothing. Ouch. Through my bitter resentment toward love, I become nothing. So it leaves me with…ok now what. What can i do to love people? I want my life to meaningful and reflect God…But im missing the biggest part. Even the two biggest commandments are love God and love your neighbors. I can bearly love myself at times! So Paul gives us examples…
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
This is soooo hard for me to except, because i have experienced what i thought was love yet these things were in those relationship. How can i get over being burned from the past? I think one of the ways that just came to mind is living in the here and now. Christianity is not about reliving the past and its not about looking toward the future. Its the here and now. God wants me to live life to the fullest right now! Not worry about how live was years ago. Love someone NOW not in the future. NOW! Paul goes on to say,
Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
I think what he means is he cant see everything clearly in life, but with God we can. I need to trust God to let me see clearly in my life. To trust him to let me be open and vulnerable to love someone who may not even deserve it. Why? Paul ends the chapter saying why,
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
Project till next time: Love People.

Wow Look at the date, its been officially over a year since Ive last blogged. I remember how i would go insane if i hadn't blogged at least 4 times a week. Now its all about twitter rather than blogging. Funny. Well, what can i say. Its been a wild year. When i mean wild i mean, dang you've been here and there and everywhere! Moving to Arizona…moving back to California. Its a long story, not sure if i want to tell it. What i can say is i have done a lot of growing. Some in areas i had no idea i needed to. I apologize if i sound vague, but what i really want to say is this. For all the growing Ive done, Ive lacked growth in my spiritual life the last few months. This is due to my signature sin, the need to avoid pain. Ive slipped out of my consistent schedule spending time with God and i don't want to face the facts that when i go back even though it will be awesome and great i have to face…pain. My faults and failures. Therefore i decided that maybe its time to listen to old and good advice since its why i started blogging, 'Blog your reading of the Bible so that i have to do it'. When i say 'do it' i mean ACTUALLY read…not forcing me to read. I can read and then there ACTUALLY reading…if that makes sense. So Hopefully i can post every so many days of what Ive read. If not I'm kickin myself in the face.
