Want to go faster? Here are 10 tips that helped me get faster and reduce my lap times. Includes shared wisdom from other racers and things that I have found work for me.
1. Looking where you want to go
You read this everywhere and most racers will tell you, look where you want to go and the car will follow. It's true, I knew it before I got in the race car but I didn't grasp it totally for a few race weekends. It is not just the looking where you want to go, which helps with target fixation, but also looking far enough ahead. By looking up the track, you can guide you car more effectively. After awhile you will not be worried about the line, allowing you to focus on the driving the car at the limit.
2. Ignore those Cones
Most people start out with track days where they place cones for turn in, apex and track out. The problems with those cones is that they are not there on race day, can move and in general mess up your visual rhythm. You start segmenting the corner into those 3 elements and piece parting your inputs so that you drive to each of them, connecting the dots. What you want to do is have the corner be a nice sweeping arc at the limit of the car. You want to drive the car at the limit not connect the dots. The cones show you the theoretical path but not how to be fast by driving the car at the limit. The cones are just a guide to help you learn the line but once you have that down start focusing on driving the car.
3. Making the Car Do Something
If you have ever read "Racing in the Rain" you will know this already but it didn't click for me until after a few races and wet sessions. If you are waiting on the car to do something and then react you will be too slow, what you want to do is drive the car making it do something and then control it. What does that all mean? Well if you go into a corner not knowing if the car is going to oversteer or understeer you are awaiting to react to the car, this tenses you up and makes it hard to predict. You are more likely to lose time or worse put a wheel off. However, if you go into the corner with your inputs such that you will get a little oversteer or understeer you already know what the car is going to do and what your reactions need to be. I am not saying you should plow through the corners with large steering angles, scrubbing the front tires and all your speed. That obviously isn't the fastest way around the track. But making the car just a little predictable helps your reaction time and overall car control. At first you will be doing this consciously but later it will become subconscious and you can focus on other aspects like traffic and when to put the pass on someone.
4. Using the Brakes to Rotate the Car
This one is a Speed Secret from Ross Bentley but it was amazing how much time I picked up especially in slow corners.
"How and when you release the brakes will have more effect on your lap times then where you start braking"
This doesn't at first make sense as all those movies and race car drivers are alway diving in under braking, but try it out when you are next on track. On a test day, after your braking for a slow corner try snap releasing the pedal and then the next lap try slowly releasing the brake pedal. Turn 2 Hairpin at Laguna Seca is a perfect place to try this or Turn 11 at Thunderhill. You will notice a difference in how the car rotates. Now you can fine tune that to produce the right amount of rotation you want.
5. Study
I'm not talking calculus. If you have never been to the track, get out a track map and start working out the important corners. Watch videos of people in your type or similar car. If you have been there before watch your videos and go over your data, see which corners you are inconsistent on or where you had a flying lap and were faster. This will help you determine where to focus during your next on track session. See if you can get data or videos from some of the faster guys so you can determine where you are losing time. If you have a simulator or video game drive the track until it is second nature and you feel comfortable with it. Even try different lines on corners for passing and dealing with traffic. Track time is expensive and precious but make the most of it by being prepared before you go.
6. Making Mistakes
Most drivers when they first start out myself included are scared of making mistakes. Most likely due to fear of damaging something, looking silly, or not being comfortable at speed. These are all valid reasons but the problem is they can make mistakes worse as the driver tenses up. I am not saying be reckless, but there are calculated mistakes you can make. There are tracks where there are corners with ample run offs. You can practice on these tracks and corners to push the car and find the limit. Sometimes you have to go over the limit to find the limit but build up to it. Don't try and over do it, as you can go too far past the limit and that could be disastrous. Use every mistake as a learning opportunity review your video and data and work out what you did wrong and how to avoid.
7. Feeling the car
Some of the fastest laps I have produced have not been the laps where I had focused on the lap timer or pushing the car as hard as I could. These laps actually end up with me over driving the car and being slower from scrubbing speed. Knowing what the car is doing and predicting what it will do is important for being fast. I have surprised myself by turning a fast lap while focusing on feeling what the car is doing. The next time you have a test day use a session just focusing on feeling what the car is doing and you will surprised what you might notice, bumps on entry or more grip being off the traditional line. You can also do this on the street in your daily driving. As you get better accustomed you might be able to start to feel when driveshafts or wheel bearings are starting to go bad.
8. Visual Session
Similar to feeling the car, you can spend a session focusing on what you see at the track. Don't just look at the curbing, apexes and exits. Focus on all the small aspects, the cracks in the pavement, the filled in patches, the rubber build up on the outside, the various landmarks and trackside markings. Processing all these visual cues can help you in the races as you will have more references for braking, turn in and track out points. It can also be helpful during the race when you have to go offline to make a pass or when you are pushing the limit you can see your error early and correct it before you go off. You can also practice this on the street.
9. Fitness
For the 2016 season it was time to get back in shape after eating better and working out, I was able to lose a few pounds, get stronger and overall feel better. For my first racing weekend I was amazed how much this helped not only was I not sore after a long test day, but I was also more focused. I felt like could feel the car more and put it where I wanted. This might be a placebo affect but everything helps to get to the pointy end of the field.
10. Data Doesn't Lie
The quality of data systems has significantly increased and their cost has also reduced making them available to even the track day enthusiast. An Aim SOLO which at ~$400 or ApexPro which is a ~$450 are great entry points for the beginning driver. They use GPS and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to provide real time data collection and in the case of the ApexPro feedback lights. They also provide speed and accelerations so you can analyze your laps and determine how you got that flyer last session. The great thing about data is it doesn't lie, you might think you were flat but it will show where you lifted. If you can team up with some of the faster guys you can even share data and see where they are faster than you or you are faster than them. Data really helps with planning your next session and determining which lap elements to focus on.
Bonus: Driving on Used Tires
Racing can be expensive so when I first started, I raced on used tires or old tires. I was lucky there was a great community of racers with Spec Racer Ford so in the Goodyear days I was able to get take off tires, one cycle sets or last seasons compound that people hadn't used yet. As I hadn't driven on new tires, I didn't know if they were better or not. I was still learning to race, so I still had lots to learn. I was better off getting more track time learning to drive the car with the old tires I had than spending lots of money on new tires. I was still mid pack competitive and even beating people with new tires. I saved money on tires which got me more seat time and I could focus on my driving which has the biggest return in reducing lap times.

Good morning dear friends! How is your Thursday? I hope it's going swimmingly. I'm actually writing to you from a plane as I travel back home. I've spent the past few weeks enjoying time with my family and resting up. But now, the fall semester seems to loom before me with a crazy schedule and a long list of to-dos. Some seasons are busier than others and this next one is going to be extra extra nutty.
The more stressed out I've become the more I need to remind myself to just rest. I don't mean rest in the "let's watch Netflix and lay around all day," way though. I'm talking about soul rest.
When life moves fast, we often get lost in the blur. While we run from here to there, we start missing each moment. Our minds become a bit of a blender. One of my goals for this year was to live my life in full color. That means seeing and appreciating each moment. It means living to the fullest each day.
Jeremiah 31:25 says, "For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish." God said those words to Jeremiah, a prophet, about the restoration of Israel and Judah. They were under an oppressive rule and most of that passage references their mourning and how they will see joy in the future. Ultimately, that joy is the coming of Jesus when their sins will no longer be remembered.
Having a relationship with Jesus changes us. It changes how we live our lives. He ultimately is the one who renews us. He refills our souls. He keeps us going in the hard places.
So how do we access that rest? How do we find our rest in Him and conscientiously pursue that?
First and foremost, we need to rest our minds. When our gears are turning a little too fast, we start letting life run us instead of us running our lives. I rest my mind by spending time with the Lord. Usually, this looks like having a quiet time with the Lord when I wake up.
This doesn't mean I spend an hour in intense Bible reading each day (I wish!). Sometimes it means sitting and just praying. Sometimes, I just put on a worship album and go to town. Sometimes, I journal and read scripture. On mornings when I just wake up late, I have also taken to downloading sermons and listening to that in the car on the way to work or school. (Matt Chandler's church, The Village, is my favorite app!)
Spending time with the Lord is often easier and more simpler than we think. Some mornings, I dive into an inductive study and soak up the beauties of scripture. But other mornings, I just need to soak in His presence.
Remove the stigma that your quiet time needs to look a specific way. Spending time with the Lord is kind of like grabbing coffee with a friend. Each time is a little different but they all lead to one thing; knowing each other better.
Secondly, I think taking a break from technology is a majorly overlooked form of rest. One of my favorite parts of working at a camp this summer was not having access to technology. It's beautiful.
You don't have to answer each text message. You really don't need to be constantly connected to others through social media. Each day, take at least some time to just live without those pressures. Maybe that means leaving your electronics in the living room when you go to bed. Buy a regular old alarm clock and take some time before falling asleep to disconnect. Maybe this means turning off your cell phone during meal times. Maybe it means disconnecting for a certain amount of time each day.
Whatever works for you, I think you'll be presently surprised at how it feels to release yourself from the pressures of constant communication. I look forward to the relief of turning off my cell phone. It relieves a ton of pressure.
Thirdly, don't be afraid to set aside time for yourself. I am a notorious over-scheduler. I am such a "yes," person. I love new opportunities and find it almost impossible to turn down anything. I'm just no good at saying, "no."
I've fallen in this trap again and again. While I'm still working on that, I have also come up with a strategy to help force myself to stop every once and a while. I've taken to blocking out times to just be me. Sometimes that looks like taking a few hours to just be alone. Sometimes I block out time to grab coffee with a friend or run to the gym.
I basically make dates with myself. I even write them into my planner because, for me, this mentally blocks out the time. When I think of it this way, it's harder for me to break that time or let something else invade.
I'm going to let y'all in on a secret; life is always going to be busy friends. Honestly, have you ever heard someone say they are in a slow season? It happens but it's rare. So be careful as you run through life. Don't allow yourself to become soul-tired. God is an excellent giver of rest and He offers this freely.
Take the time to find your restoration in Him. Honestly, you can't afford not to. I've let myself become over drained on multiple occasions. Not only does it feel awful, it sets you up for failure. We are not at our best when we are overworked and overtired. Like little kids, we tend to sin the most when we go overboard.
I want to be a person of joy. I want to be a person who values others and is fully present in each moment. I want to love well. I can only be that kind of person when I fully rely on the Lord though. He is the one who has taught me what joy looks like, what love feels like, and what soul peace is.
Y'all, I can't tell you how to not be stressed. I can't tell you the "three magical steps" to feeling refreshed. Because no matter what suggestions you take or steps you try, your ultimate rest will only come from the Lord. Seek Him first my friends. There's so much beauty in knowing Him.
Friends, life is better together. So let's start living in full color together. I'm praying for y'all and I'm about your success. I'd love to hear from you and know any specific ways I can be loving on you! I hope you find your rest in the Lord.

Mobile apps that appeal to young children are doing better and better in the marketplace, but in most cases it's the parents, and not the children themselves, who you'll need to impress first if you're looking to peddle your digital wares. Thankfully, the good folks over at KinderTown crunched the numbers and provided a much better understanding as to the kinds of children's apps likely to meet with success.
The study, called "KinderSights," analyzed search criteria for parents and teachers, and the results might surprise you. The most popular search criterion by far was age, ringing in at just over 50 percent. In other words, the most important factor for parents when choosing a new app is age-appropriateness, handily beating out type, platform, and even price. Indeed, the study found surprising that "price isn't the most popular given app buyers' reputations for wanting something for nothing."
This is important information for app developers. If you're considering putting together a mobile app – for argument's sake, let's say a game app that teaches math – your first consideration should be to target a specific age group. Additionally, the KinderSights study also shows that the younger ages are more frequently searched than older ones, as parents don't want to waste time or money on an app that their children won't appreciate for several years to come.
Language apps were the most popular when it came to type, at 35 percent, with math coming in second at 34.2 percent. Pre-reading, number sense, reading, and geometry were the most popular categories within those subjects. Science proved the least popular, comprising only 8 percent of the type search total.
All that said, KinderSights includes in its study the following caveat: "Developers should refrain from assuming it's a great idea to target the most popular areas. These are often (if not always) the most competitive app markets too." Science can be challenging for children between 3 and 5 years of age – or at least adults think so – so if you can find a way to develop a fun and creative science app that targets kids and pleases parents, opportunity awaits.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Brisbane shows. Boy, we had a great time, and great to play to a sell-out crowd at The Junk Bar, and for such friendly people. We love you guys, and we'll be back next year for sure.
The next Experiment show will be in Melbourne on Sunday November 18th, when we barrel into another two sets at one of our favourite venues, The Standard in Fitzroy.
We've got something pretty exciting planned for the end of the year too - a special 'double band' gig with Brisbane group Trichotomy at Jazzlab in Brunswick on Friday December 14th. They'll play a short set, we'll play a short set, then we'll both play a set together. That's right, two bands on the one stage. It'll be wild. Details will be announced soon, and this will be a ticketed show, so stay tuned.

Author Dan Simmons's novel Drood ostensibly tells the story of the last five years of Charles Dickens's life — focusing on the events inspiring his classic unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood — as told by his close friend and fellow author Wilkie Collins.
That summary is all well and good if you're a bookseller trying to move product based on a familiar author's name and work. But Dan Simmons has produced something much more intriguing than that little attempt at conciseness would lead you to believe.
Simmons's greatest achievement is his accomplished characterization of the true protagonist, Wilkie Collins. Simmons has allowed Collins plenty of room to breathe, and to stick his own foot in his mouth. Simmons shows all of Collins's facets, and even allows him to be mostly unlikable while still managing to retain the reader's interest and sympathy. Collins's narrative voice feels so true, it's as if you could try out Collins's own novels (like The Woman in White or The Moonstone) and it feel like revisiting an old friend.
Simmons also exercises his usual firm control over the setting — something he has excelled at since his debut, Song of Kali. In Drood, Victorian England is as much a character as its people, and Simmons's portrait is as detailed as a pointillist painting.
At first I was disappointed by the direction Simmons was taking. But I slowly realized that this was due to my own preconceptions. What had happened was the author had circumvented my expectation and was going in a different direction, taking me completely by surprise. I love it when an author sneaks up on me like that. from that point on, I was willing to let Simmons lead me where he wished, and it became much clearer what an astoundingly original novel Drood really is. Simmons uses history as a starting point but adheres closely only when it suits him. Yet at no point does Drood veer off into the unbelievable.
Audiobook reader Simon Prebble's embodiment of Collins is nothing short of phenomenal. Prebble's skill with various regional British accents adds depth to Simmons's characterizations (though he seems to have learned his Chinese accent from Ben Wright on radio's Have Gun, Will Travel). Prebble also gets the often-dry humor across that written text often does not. His reading of Drood is sure to be an award contender, and I'll be going immediately in search of other audios by him.
It takes time to travel the twisty, treacherous path Simmons has designed, but the destination is far more than worth it. Simmons's characterization of Collins transcends any interest in Dickens the reader originally had, leaving one with doubts and sadness along with a new insight into the antagonistic friendship between a greater and lesser writer. It's hard to predict these kinds of things in advance, but Drood feels like a modern classic.

The stage is set, the lights are out and the storylines couldn't be better. Super Bowl LII is just over the horizon and the buzz is electric. As we begin to take our seats in anticipation of a Super Bowl XXXIX rematch, David is preparing for his toughest matchup yet because Goliath will be joining him in the championship.
Representing the AFC for the eighth time, Tom Brady has his eyes set on a sixth ring; a ring that will forever cement his name in the NFL record books and undeniably solidify the G.O.A.T. label to TB12; a ring that will make Tom Brady a legendary NFL icon; and a victory that would make that same name untouchable.
Furthermore, with the Patriots coming off a 24-20 thriller over the Jacksonville Jaguars, this team is primed for another championship celebration. So grease up those light poles, Minnesota, because, regardless of the outcome, a riot is headed your way.
As for the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles will play host to the underdog. Injuries have defined their Cinderella postseason run, and with their star quarterback Carson Wentz sitting on the sideline, it only makes these underdogs hungrier.
However, Nick Foles is a battle-tested quarterback and looks to bring home the Eagles' first ever Lombardy Trophy. This has long escaped the grasp of a Philly organization that has paid its dues and is ready to move into a new era of football, especially after a 38-7 dismantling of the Minnesota Vikings, further proving that these dogs are not to be messed with.
The Eagles have all the pieces for an upset. What better way to do it than in a brilliant new stadium where everyone is rooting for the unexpected.
New England's defense is famous for their "bend, but don't break" mentality and the Eagles offense just came off of putting up 456 yards and five touchdowns on the number one overall defense. If they can capitalize on a similar outing, they could have Patriot's head coach Bill Belichick on his heels.
These Eagles are flying high and with a fire like that, their excitement is boiling over. After the Minnesota game, Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson told ESPN, "Tom Brady is a pretty boy. He's the best quarterback of all time, so, nothing I'd like to do more than dethrone that guy." And if you read between the lines, Mr. Johnson is speaking on behalf of every football fan south of the New England area.
But what about this Superbowl is particularly exciting? Is it that Tom Brady has more playoff wins than Nick Foles has career wins? Is it that everyone predicted Nick Foles to appear in a Superbowl two years ago? Or could it be that regardless of how elite your defense is, Tom Brady continues to beat Father Time and prove that New England is unstoppable even with ten stitches in his hand?
Nevertheless, both teams have their work cut out for them, and the defending champs are looking to reclaim their title and become the only franchise to win back-to-back Superbowls within two decades.
So good luck Philly, you're going to need it.

Refresher Training
An important feature of the Manila amendments is the additional emphasis given to the need for seafarers' standards of competence to be maintained throughout their careers. All seafarers are now required to provide evidence of appropriate levels of competence in basic safety training (including survival, fire-fighting, first aid, and personal safety) every five years. Much of this refresher training can be conducted on board, but some will require training at shore based institutions.
Seafarers who hold certificates of proficiency in survival craft, rescue boats (CPSC) and fast rescue boats or advanced fire fighting will also have to show that they have maintained their levels of competence in these skills every five years.

Meet "GIE" the Coach of "Why".
Leadership Coaching for the 21st Century
I am one of four girls… And the smallest of our litter, as my Dad used to say. I grew up on a farm, and my Southern accent comes from my Charleston roots. As the smallest girl, a.k.a. runt, I was forced to work hard for my place at the table. We lived paycheck to paycheck, and there was no money for higher education. I was often told "you can't do that."
But I knew I could. So I developed the mindset of an Intrapreneur and acted like I owned whatever business I was working for.
I took many "calculated" risks in each organization where I worked because of my Intrapreneurial mindset. I wanted to always be learning and improving whatever job/process that I was involved with knowing that it ultimately would help serve the customer.
Gie's "WHY" is all about using her "runtish" attitude to be continuously learning and encouraging others to do the same.
Please call her "Gie," the name given to her by her grandson.

Giving in to Jesus sounds like submission to me. For me, no problem is seen with submitting to Jesus. There is a problem when we don't feel like submitting when we know we should.
James 4:7 and 8 says, "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you."
If you've read todays devotional already, we know that submitting to Jesus and running to Him in the face of temptation is how we will be able to overcome or temptations.
Here is the link for todays Our Daily Bread devotional. July 11th 2017

Do You Have Any of these 5 Worries?
Worries can hold you back and prevent you from reaching your true potential. Here are five common worries and what you should do to squash them.
1. Fear of Not Being Liked
Many people have a fear of others not liking them and will change parts of their personality or do things they don't want as a result.
2. Fear of Failure
Fear of failure is perhaps the most common worry, as well as one of the most limiting. So many people are so afraid of failure that they avoid even trying.
3. Fear of Being Fired
Do you know people who are constantly worried that any misstep they take at their place of employment will result in them being fired? This is a common fear for many, and most of the time is completely unfounded.
4. Fear of Being Left
Like being fired, fear of being left is founded in the same insecurity and lack of self-value. Many people worry that their partner will leave them if they make a mistake, aren't "good enough" and more.
5. Fear of Loss
Loss can be emotionally hard to handle and fear of losing things – from jobs to loved ones to strength to just about anything that you can think of – often grips people. Loss is a normal part of life; learning to embrace loss at times is healthy.
If you suffer from any of the fears listed above, working with a success coach can be empowering.

Capitalising on the growing demand for a healthier alternative to sugary sports drinks, Coco Fuzion 100 will provide product, including drinking water and branded water bottles to all competitors taking part in the upcoming Invictus Games in Sydney, Australia from 20th – 27th October.
Coco Fuzion 100 will also be working with a group of Invictus Games competitors from the UK Team in an ambassadorial role, supporting their journey and creating content to showcase their strength and determination in their lives during, and away from, the Games.

A couple of months ago I wrote about the scholarship I wanted to create in Chris' memory and now - with the help of friends and family - that initiative will come to life.
Several months after his sudden death last July, I met with representatives of the library school where Chris & I met as grad students to discuss ways in which his life could be honoured. It was quickly agreed that one of the best ways would be to support the same passion in a new generation of Library and Information Science (LIS) students.
Chris' curiosity and openness to new knowledge led him not only to PhD studies but also to explore interests as varied as cooking, travel, music, Russian literature, and mini-golf! He had the rare gift of true joy in learning and generously shared his knowledge with others. Many of us have had the experience of leaving a get-together with Chris more energized and excited about our own endeavours than when we arrived.
We've established an award named the Christopher Mathew Dixon LIS Memorial Scholarship. It will be awarded once annually to a Master's or Doctoral LIS student who not only shows the same passion for the field in which Chris studied, but who also exemplifies a commitment to making his or her community a better place through active and ongoing volunteer work.
I've donated some "seed money" to start the ball rolling and now we're appealing to faculty, alumni, staff, colleagues, family, and friends to help build the endowment so that this scholarship can be awarded to deserving students for many years to come.
To make a gift you can donate securely on line. If you prefer to make a donation by mail or telephone, or if you have any questions, please contact Karen Boddy, Alumni & Development Officer, by e-mail or call (519) 661-2111, ext. 87463.
This living legacy would not have come to life without the dedication of several people in particular at the faculty who are very dear to Chris and me. I affectionately think of them as the Three Musketeers (3M for short) - I hope they know how much I appreciate their support.

You know what's horrible? When you hate something, and it turns out everyone else loves it. You know what my daughter Lucy hates? Oh, just hamburgers, pizza, chocolate chips, and M&M's. If I weren't her deeply sympathetic and loving parent, I might find it funny to watch her navigate life with these loathings. If you got down to the objective truth, it may be that she only mildly dislikes pizza. It's just that it is around so often, and all the other kids and adults around her are generally very enthusiastic whenever they get it, so that the presence of pizza now cues an immediate emotional response for her, resulting in disconsolate sobbing. The way she melts down when pizza comes isn't really about sadness, but about total isolation. It's like having pizza turns everyone around her into Urdu-speakers, and she's stuck speaking English, and she's now barred from communicating with anyone else until dinner ends, and they're all secretly telling Urdu folk jokes about her the whole time. Poor girl. I wish I could make it stop for her. But I like pizza and hamburgers, and I love chocolate chips in my chocolate chip cookies. But I can't deny its an isolating experience. I used to not like sushi. Don't spend time with sushi eaters if you don't like sushi. You will cease to exist for an hour hanging out with them.
A very isolating food
I have a friend with a similar problem. She's one of these types that doesn't want to lie to her kids, so teachings of Santa Claus are limited to hints and implications, without any explicit doctrine being imparted. She takes guff from the pro-Santa crowd for this, resulting in that same old feeling of being a lone holdout in a world of sellouts. Anyway, the story goes that she was home one night with her family during the holidays, enjoying a cozy re-watching of Miracle on 34th Street. Turns out that movie is pretty tough on people who don't believe in Santa. In fact, only ruthless lawyers and cruel corporate overlords don't believe in Santa. The ones that do believe in Santa are beautiful and loving and keep our society together and generally promote faith, trust and pixie dust. Well, halfway into the movie, my friend's small daughter looked up at her and noticed she was crying. With sadness. During Miracle on 34th Street. She eventually realized she was ruining the movie for everyone else and quietly excused herself from the room.
When I think about being in that position, I think of Imagine. You know, that inspiring, wonderfully idealistic John Lennon song that everyone loves? I can't stand that song. Suffice it to say, I have deep philosophical disagreements with its message, which, even to mention them, make me an intolerable prig who takes himself way too seriously. So let's not get into it. Regardless, I'm irritated whenever that song is on, and the trite humanistic lyrics only send me into a tailspin thinking about my wider disagreements with John, which hurts, because I also love him deeply (obviously). After a minute or two of listening, I'm pretty much buried in a full-fledged argument with him over everything, and then I'm mad at all my friends and family too.
Hating one song in the world isn't such an unbearable curse. Until February 2008:
Yeah, that was the month David Archuleta sang Imagine on American Idol. Big deal, right? Well, do you remember how crazy Utah was when David freaking Archuleta was on American Idol? You couldn't escape. He was on every local news program, on every blog, on everyone's lips. And when he performed that song in particular, people went freaking nuts. And such a beautiful song! One of the most beautiful songs ever written! Who wouldn't be blown away by that extraordinary song!
Stupid David Archuleta. I spent a couple weeks feeling exactly like Lucy feels on pizza night. You're alone, but you don't think you should be, because if people were half intelligent, they'd hate the thing as much as you do, but even bringing it up, let alone trying to explain why they should hate it, would make you look like such a self-absorbed buzzkill, that's it's best to just shut your yap and say nothing at all, which results in you sitting silently while everyone exults in the moment of mass idiocy. Sometimes having more refined tastes means sitting it out while the world has a rockin' time with Randy Jackson.
Seriously, why didn't you sing the first verse, David? Pansy.

Mabolo Cebu City : Go-Karting Adventure at Your Reach
January 1, 1970
by Troy
Go-Karting Adventure
Bored with the usually summer activity like going to the beach, trekking, mountain climbing? Well, this is your chance to indulge yourself to a more extreme adventure with your friends or family. A fun-filled activity which will surely unleash your racer instincts. I suggest that you go there by groups, because it would be more fun if you compete with them. It's somehow challenging and absolutely full of enjoyment. Gather your troops and try-on this exciting and challenging activity that will boost your strength and ability.
Kartzone is located at F. Cabahug Mabolo, Cebu City in the Philippines. 03A Jeepneys will pass over this place. Just stop at the Jollibee or Burger King because just behind these Food Chains is the Kartzone already.
It is one of the trendiest sports nowadays. Go-kart which basically a four-wheeled vehicle which usually use and seen on Go-Kart Racing. The concept is just like racing in which everyone can try without being a professional go-kart racer. However, the word "everyone" does not apply to all ages. Health condition and capacity to drive should also be considered.
- There will be an orientation first before the actual go-karting event, in which they will show to you the dos and don'ts in a Go-Karting Event.
- Just be sure to listen attentively to orientation, you might be needing it once you are already in the race.
- Kartzone is also equipped with precautionary measures, so you don't have to worry much.
- There are lots of stuffs there who will watch over you during the race. They are responsible for your karting activity and so please listen to them attentively if there are any reminders that are given by them. But of course, your safety lies at your own hands, they are just there to guide you. So better be careful for you to enjoy the race.
- If your problem is you haven't even tried driving a car, and you might not be able to drive well during the race. Well, I have a tip for you. I have already gone to go-karting for the second time. And believe me, I don't know either how to drive a car or even a motorcycle.
The Go-Kart has only two pedals, the break and the gas pedal. So your feet just really fit for that, you only have to control these two and steering wheel which allows you not to bump on undesired area.
(1.) Never step on the brakes and the gas simultaneously as it will cause the machine not to function well.
(2.) During curve areas, try not to step on the breaks with large force.
(3.) For first timers, do not hurry up, just memorize the road first and befriend your go-kart. As per experience, your go-kart may vary from other go-kart. Just take it slow to avoid any accidents.
(4.) Don't over speed or else you will be raised with a flag or worst you might be engaged in an accident.
(5.) And the lastly the most important thing is enjoy and don't be pressured.
Weekdays and weekend rates also differs. During weekdays, the rate is about 300 plus while on weekends, the rate is about 400 plus that is good for 9 laps. You also have an option to just pick one go-kart and be the side seater or the driver, meaning for one go kart, there will be two persons. The rate for that is also different. Kartzone Cebu's Go-Karting hours is from 9:00 a.m to 8 p.m Mondays to Saturdays during regular days. And during summer, Karting hours is extend until 11:00 pm. You may request for an exclusive use of the place or go-karting for a given time. Just inform the management ahead of time. They also provide head mask and helmets, other than that you must provide your own. Head mask cost Php25 per person while helmets are used for free since it is very essential for racing. If you happen to be hungry after the race, there are also foods that are available for you to buy within the premises of the Kart zone. Or if you wish to buy from any food chains near the place, you can just bring it there without any corkage fee. If you really wants to have a heavy meal after the race, just near the Kartzone, across Shakeys, there is an eat all you can buffet meal at Tongs for only Php269 per person, you can already enjoy the mouthwatering and delicious foods on the table as long as you want.
Since they only provide head mask and helmet for your gears. It is much advisable to bring your own attire and body protection especially under the scorching heat of the sun which may damage your skin. Especially during summer time, it is really hot during those season. So better be ready and pack up all the necessary gears that you should wear during the race. Also consider the comfortability of your chosen gears so that it will not affect your race performance.
Every once in a while we must take a break from our daily routine and try out different things. At some point, our daily task may get boring which you might need to pause for a while and relax, hang-out with friends, or bonding with your love ones. Going out from our comfort zone gives more excitement to our lives and lets us broaden our horizon. For there are things that you thought you cannot do, but it turns out that you are able to handle it. It is such a great satisfaction and fulfillment as an individual. Every activity is fun and enjoyable as you long as there is moderation. We only live once, thus, we must be very extra careful to it and don't take it for granted. But before that, planning should be done and properly to ensure that the activity will be a successful one.

The Explicit Material
Inquiries on the Intersection of Curatorial and Conservation Cultures
Edited by Hanna B. Hölling, Francesca G. Bewer and Katharina Ammann
Engaging with Materials
Telling the Whole Story
Elizabeth Pye
This essay takes as a starting point the statement, 'The engagement with materials still seems for many an antithesis of an intellectual endeavour'. The materials and the technologies involved in making objects are not often communicated in any detail in museums nor are the processes of scientific investigation and conservation that take place 'behind the scenes' in museums, despite the fact that they may have a profound effect on how objects are interpreted. Possible reasons for this are explored, and the growing interest in making and in science in wider society is highlighted. Using a range of examples drawn largely from the study of archaeological objects, fascinating information about materials and making that can be yielded by investigation and conservation, and that would attract many museum visitors, is explored. Examples of some recent exhibitions are reviewed, focusing on the extent to which they have portrayed both materials and making and the normally invisible processes of investigation and conservation. The essay concludes by arguing for integration of more material information in displays generally and suggests that this could be achieved by expanding the content of object labels and by making reference to the Internet.

The 'Extended Life' of Performance
Curating 1960s Multimedia Art in the Contemporary Museum
Judit Bodor
Over recent decades, museums have begun to re-evaluate the role of performance art within their collections and exhibitions. This essay reflects on my curatorial approach toward presenting Ivor Davies's 1968 event-structured and multimedia work Adam on St Agnes' Eve as part of the 2015 exhibition Silent explosion. Ivor Davies and destruction in art at National Museum Wales, Cardiff. I discuss how this approach differs from customary modes of exhibiting historical performance art in museums, including documentary archival displays or live re-enactments. Drawing on concepts of 'changeability' (Hölling 2017), 'material multiplicity' (Lillemose 2006), 'remediation' (Bolter & Grusin 1999) and 'proliferative preservation' (Rinehart & Ippolito 2014), I consider how Davies's historical performance transformed in the context of the exhibition through its remediation into a performative archival environment and a re-performance. Here arises the question of what constitutes the artwork's identity in performance. This essay concludes with a reflection on the necessary but often contentious material transformations of performance art in museological contexts and speculates on the relationship between the work's material identity, authorship, and authenticity.
Framing Intention
Presentation as Preservation Strategy in Video Art
Katharina Ammann
Video merely consists of electronic or digital data, which must be installed in order to be visible. This is not only an artistic challenge but also a curatorial one and increasingly a conservation issue as well. Taking video works by the artist David Claerbout as a case study, I demonstrate that this special aspect of the medium not only requires the implementation of a different set of preservation strategies but also creates an overlap between the traditionally defined roles of artist, curator, conservator, and technician. As long as museum professionals know about the interrelation between content, form, and intent in Claerbout's video installation, the work remains presentable. Furthermore, interplay between 'conceive -- curate -- conserve' creates a very specific condition of showing, which makes the video medium such a fruitful example in the current discourse around materiality and art in the digital age. The word 'presentation' in relation to video art can thus act as a synonym for preservation since even the regular exhibition of a work of video requires its continued migration onto a succession of new playable formats.
The Louvre on Celluloid
Curating, Disseminating, and Preserving the Louvre's Collections in Mid-Twentieth-Century Art Documentaries
Birgit Cleppe
The 1940s and 1950s saw the massive production of interesting art documentaries, many of them highly experimental in nature. This essay investigates to what extent these art documentaries can be understood as answers to ICOM's attempts to merge new museological and curatorial practices with innovative conservation philosophies. Strikingly, a substantial number of those art documentaries centred on museum collections. Focusing on art films on the Louvre's collection, this essay investigates the complex relationships between the museum's material collection and the art documentary, thereby revealing the institution's vision on conservation and display and the museum's shortcomings. They were 'filmic, immaterial exhibitions' and related to their physical counterparts by documenting and reproducing (parts of) the collections: with extreme close-ups to amplify their display, with animations and split screens to analyse individual works of art, or compare them to others, and with additional footage and information (interviews, registering their restoration, or showing the artist at work) to contextualize the works shown.

The Material Forms of the Past and the 'Afterlives' of the Compositiones variae
Recovering, Conserving, and Exhibiting the Personal History of an Early Medieval Manuscript
Thea Burns
The Compositiones variae, a late eighth-century manuscript pamphlet and the earliest surviving medieval collection of artisanal recipes, is thought to reflect workshop practice and to transmit practical information in a neutral, transparent way; however its layout and contents indicate that it was not a how-to book. This essay examines the unique physical structure of the Compositiones variae and its context to enrich and deepen notions of textual integrity and authenticity, to expose the tangled yet meaningful interrelationship of text and context, and to clarify its influence on interpretation and on curatorial and conservation decisions that impinge directly on the exhibition of the manuscript.
Materials, Objects, Transitions
Jorge Otero-Pailos in Conversation with Hanna B. Hölling
Volume-editor Hanna B. Hölling, Francesca G. Bewer and Katharina Ammann
This interview explores how cultural transmutations condition the existence/recognition of 'transitional objects' and how these objects are themselves physically unstable. The conversation reflects on the concepts of temporality and duration, questioning what constitutes an artwork or an artefact, to then return to their role in our attempts to grasp our own temporality and reality. The conservator's intervention on an object is cast as a critical and creative positing of a question about whether that object serves its purpose in the continuously unfolding present.

A Fiat 500 Styled Like a Porsche 911 Turbo Is the Worst Kind of Doppelganger
What do you think of this Fiat's custom looks?
Some tuners get a bad rap for making their cars look like something they're not, but this Fiat 500 owner has brought it to a new level. Instead of modifying the car to look like an Abarth model or putting a massive exhaust on it, the owner went all in and tried to reinvent the wheel by turning the Italian econobox into a Porsche 911 Turbo lookalike. Well, sort of.
The car was recently found on the How Not To Design a Car Facebook group, and it may just be the most suitable post on the page. There isn't much info to go along with the horrible styling exercise, but we have to appreciate the effort put in. After all, it surely wasn't easy getting all of these parts to fit in seeing as they don't bolt right up.
The owners changed nearly all of the panels, even redesigning the hood, trunk, and rear bumper. Side vents have been molded into the body, showing an impressive amount of detail, and everything seems to fit well. There's been a lot of work go into this even if the project is all for naught.
While it may not have been our first choice to replicate a Porsche from a Fiat 500, it looks to have been a labor of love. After all, most people don't put pencil to paper when it comes to building their dreams—if that's what you want to call this.

I've spent the last month and a half with Rob in Berlin. He's mid-way through shooting his first feature 'Dublin Berlin' and it's been a real rollercoaster of a few months to get here. The trip has come in two parts, the first was a month of glorious and much needed space. I spent most days on my own or with Rob, writing music, learning German, reading books like "Hot Irons" by Howard Brenton and Michel Houellebecq's "The Map and the territory". Listening to great new music and writing plays. It was a planned pause I guess, time to breath and figure out what exactly has filtered through from the heady mix of experiences I've had in The Abbey and with Pan Pan over the last 18 months. So I thoroughly enjoyed this month, we even bought bikes and became regulars at the Turkish Market at Maybachufer. I suppose it was easier for me to relax and enjoy this time when I was coming down from my year of intensity – Rob, on the other hand, had already begun to brace himself for the epic month of shooting.
I began working as an assistant producer on the film in late July. There was a need for some admin support and the pressure was mounting to find the remaining members of the crew so I got on board. It was one of those – jump in a see if you swim – kind of situations. I did a lot of cold calling and a lot of cold emailing and bit by bit the pieces started coming together. I also became chief house hunter for somewhere to use as accommodation for myself and Rob as well as the Irish contingent of cast and crew. That was a tricky thing and I was incredibly lucky to find a place in Prenzlauerberg that covered all of our needs and some. The owners are lovely artists themselves and the timing was perfect for everyone.
We moved in on the 12th August and that's when the rush really began. I wonder if I could ever really have anticipated the speed and energy with which everything began to move. Days stretched and doubled, sleeping became a luxury and the place was so full of life and excitement in these first days I found it hard to take in. In the last two weeks, however, it has been necessary for me to take a step back from the film production in order to get my own work done. Arts Council deadlines loom and it is that strange sensation of re-focusing on the future. I split myself awkwardly between these two forces; the immediate pull of the day, the bustle of people needing to be fed and the film that's growing daily into something more tangible, and then the pull of potential new work and collaboration in my own world. It's not something I'm good at, I find it hard to force my brain into one story and out of the other. Still, in both instances, I am writing with very little left to do. My application is close to finished save a bit of re-drafting and budgetary detail, and the film only has 4 days left to shoot.
This epic moment in my life has pushed me out of the creative fog I had become stuck in. I think I've been a little mentally lazy while assisting. Understandable when there's a definite limit to the creative contribution you can make, but it's good to feel things moving again. Berlin, thanks for the jolt, it may have been a bit of a headache at times but it's just what I needed.

31 Attributes of God, Day 13: He Is Love/
Welcome to Day 13 of our 31 Attributes of God series! If you missed a day, you can find all of our posts right here. Be sure to grab the accompanying free printable here (no email address required!) and join us for today's study!
Most of us are familiar with today's attribute. In fact, God's love is probably His most well-known characteristic! But God's love goes far deeper than a general warm affection toward His creation. His love is unending, sacrificial, and complete.
John 3:16 sums up God's love perfectly: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (NKJV, emphasis added).
God loved us so deeply and fully that He was willing to sacrifice His very own Son so that He could make a way for us to spend Eternity with Him. That's a pretty powerful love, isn't it? We know that God is love, but we often forget the depth to which that love moved Him on our behalf.
It's important to remember that we've done nothing to earn this love. It's His gift to us simply because loving us brings Him pleasure. We don't deserve it. We've not merited it. We could never earn it...ever.
But He gives us His love freely because He is love. Maybe that's not the most grammatically-correct way of writing it, but I don't think we'll ever be able to fully grasp the love God has for us, at least not until we reach Heaven.
Today's Assignment: Write out the words to the hymn, "The Love of God." Though these are man's words and not straight from the Bible, these beautiful lyrics help our finite minds better understand the extent of God's love for us!

Journal 18.08.2016 by Diane
I hardly see DAD on a license plate and this month of August a few cut my attention. I believe spirit guides speak to us in ways we love to receive it.
August 3rd the message is ''words are magnetic affirmations that draw to you the very things you talk and think about.'' Fifteen days later the number 71 shows up and this is what I feel.
3 ways I feel good now!
- Stay on track with my desires and manifestations
- Stay positive and optimistic
- All of my dreams will be right there with me
My friend sent me a video of Matt Kahn – Feel Good Now brought me joy today and I understood karma needed to shift now.
God Bless Dear Heart of all that is!
See the Best in You-Gospel music of Matt Kahn suggested I feel good now.

AUX Files .008
Written by Greg Harris
It's been quite some time since the AUX Files have been released from their capsule, and the reason was because the editorial key was misplaced. What was once an original series that was once exclusively for Free Press Houston has now channeled over to the Modern Life Mag brand. MLM has always given light to those who hold the future for their genre, and today we place on bifocals on our face and strap in our headphones for our latest edition. This edition features sounds from Atlanta to the alternative vibes of Houston, scroll down to get engaged with what's offered below.
Sir CRKS - Conversations
If you have scoured the internet for nice remixes or modern chopped and screwed mixes, I wouldn't be surprised if you came across the Houston-based DJ Sir CRKS. CRKS has been for creating an eclectic soundscape that his fans enjoy and he continues with his latest rendition of Alicia Keys' "Feeling U, Feeling Me". The classic from the Diary of Alicia Keys album is twisted into a blender of sounds that evoke alternative yet mellow vibes to the forefront with this record. It's precisely a lifted song, one where listeners can float endlessly until the track stops.
Baby.Daddi - Kodak
The Los Angeles music continues to develop, change, and adapt to what it brings to them. Whether it the thought provoking fast rhyming schemes of Kendrick Lamar to the soulful synths of Anderson Paak, California has to offer when it comes to music today. Seeing that it's better to use three heads oppose to one, rising artists Tommy Genesis, Wes Period, and Ye Ali come together to complete the formation of Baby.Daddi. The trio create a sound that revolves Genesis velvet laid wordplay, Ali's clever mouthpiece, and layered with Period's witty rhymes and production scheme. One of the most notable songs from their recent project is "Kodak". The song is not an ode to classic camera company, but it's melodic record that gives off the best first impression of each artist and puts listener into a space where they relax and digest the music properly.
OMB Bloodbath - Not So Gone
Sparking a nationwide trend over social media with his florescent and flawless "So Gone" freestyle, OMB Bloodbath barged her way into becoming one of Houston's brightest stars. Continuing to push the bar with her versatility, she presents a gritty cinematic trip in her "Not So Gone" visual. The 3rd Ward lyricist proves she's more than the trend and levels with her listeners on her the aspects of her life and how she wants to overcome in the end. The hunger found in this piece just lets Houstonians know it's someone else to watch out for.
Listen here.
Showing growth with a loose string of singles, Brixx collides forces with Giza$ to present their collaborative project, "Plug Brothers". Timeless is one of the standout tracks from the 3 track EP, showing both versatility and uniqueness with the different flavors that both artists offer. This project is a hidden gem found in the emerging Atlanta and we advise you all to listen up to what the next generation of the "Modern Music Capital" has to offer with their material. Listen to their project here.
Wole De Michls - Stay Up For Me
When speaking of artists that are emerging from the Houston area that carry a mysterious persona, Wolf De Michls has to be at the top of that list. Being known for his work with Maxo Kream and Big KRIT for production, Michls has also brewed a good amount of records that show sides of vulnerability in sync with a lo-fi sound. One of the singles that has caught our attention as of recent was "Stay Up For Me". Michaels makes a bedroom classic with its PartyNextDoor inspired flow of the song but it's entirely Michaels' when he makes his mark with his production and delivery over the song. This loosie is expected to be on his upcoming project, "Naked", which is slated to release on December 2nd. Stay tuned.
Dice Soho - Ripped Jeans
ouring the country, hanging out with YesJulz and Mike Dean, and modeling in LA, Dice Soho has become more than the rising star that Houston has known him for. Soho is in the matter of reaching his prime and he's proud of doing so at a young age. The fierce yet iced out youngster from Space City exemplifies all of these components with his new record, "Ripped Jeans". Although the title may seem simple at first, the song is a congratulatory record that focuses on the essentials of success, progression, and not stopping now. Dice Soho is on sure rise to whatever occasion is placed in front of him.

Setting up a Club
Grassroots football is played by millions of people each weekend to have fun. It's a great way of keeping fit physically, while spending time with friends. New teams are regularly set up to meet demand. Before starting up a new team, you should ask: are there enough potential players? Are there enough volunteers to run the club?Firstly, all Clubs need to act within the rules of The Football Association. Clubs should appoint volunteers to become Club Officials. All clubs should appoint a:
In addition, all youth teams must have a Club Welfare Officer, this person must have an FA CRB check and must have attended a Safeguarding Children Workshop and a Welfare Officer Workshop, and those working with children need to have an FA CRB check.
All clubs have to affiliate to North Riding County Football Association every season. Affiliation acts as a quality assurance and a safety net to help protect Players, Clubs, Officials and Administrators. The Football Development Team can advise on a suitable League or competition membership for your team/s.
Clubs should understand the rules of the League they enter. Fixtures are administered by the League, advising clubs of forthcoming games. For home matches, the secretary must arrange pitch hire and notify opponents and officials the kick-off time and venue. For away games, tell your players the kick-off time and arrange transport if necessary.
The League and Cup Competitions you enter will have rules regarding player registration. These rules will be provided to you on entering the Competition. At this point it is important to organise adequate insurance for players in case of accident or injury, this is mandatory for all Adult Teams affiliated to The North Riding County FA. Youth Teams have Insurance provided with their Affiliation. See the Insurance tab in Clubs & Leagues drop down box. All player discipline is administered by the County FA and the Club secretary is responsible for ensuring all players are eligible to play.
You should apply to the relevant Local Authority, Parish Council, non-league team or private pitch owner to hire a pitch for training sessions and home games. Pitch hire costs and terms vary widely, so take note of these, Public Liability Insurance is covered by The North Riding County FA for all affiliated teams so you will be fully covered for matches and training. You will also need to organise kit for your team.
As a new club, it will be important to raise funds quickly to cover the essential expenditure such as Affiliation fees, League membership fee, pitch hire charges and kit. Decide on the fee for players subscriptions and set up a bank account in the Club name.
New club checklist:
Select Club name and colours
Appoint Club officials
Affiliate with your local County Football Association and register with the league you wish to enter
Produce a list of running costs
Understand the rules of the League you wish to enter
Familiarise yourself with Safeguarding Children rules if running a team including under-18s or vulnerable adults
Purchase suitable kit and equipment
Hire pitches for matches and training
Raise fund and set up a cCub bank account
Notify members of fixtures and liaise with opposition

The South African Fraud Prevention Services (SAFPS) has praised Home Affairs' plan to introduce a new biometric identification system – but cautioned that it's not foolproof.
Announced in May, Home Affairs minister Malusi Gigaba said that the new Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) will be a milestone in South Africa's pathway towards a new digital national identity system.
As part of the capturing of biometrics, Home Affairs is also set to improve access to South Africa, with the roll-out of e-visas, with the pilot phase expected to begin early in 2019.
While ABIS is a milestone for Home Affairs, biometric identification in itself is nothing new, said Manie van Schalkwyk, executive director of the SAFPS. He adds that finger print identification has been available to banks for many years.
"What is different with the system at Home Affairs is that it provides a centralised data source of consumer information," he said.
"This finger print identification is a cradle to grave situation. In other words, it will allow for enhanced and safer data in terms of digital processing, storage of photos, fingerprints, signature, voice recording, demographic information and scanned supporting documents. Thus, it makes it easier to verify all the pieces of information pertaining to an individual."
However, Van Schalkwyk cautioned that there had been a 52% increase in fraud listings in 2018 compared to last year – with identity theft labelled as one of the top concerns.
"A biometric system definitely curbs fraud, but what consumers must be careful of is that when fraudsters are stopped in one way, they will get creative in another," he said.
"A common tactic is to recruit runners, or money mules, as they are called in the United Kingdom, to open accounts in their own names that then become a biometric match for the fraudster and leaves the runner in a great deal of trouble."
He added that there has also been a surge in online fraud, where people are enticed by an email notification of a prize win, or the inheritance of a deceased rich uncle, which requests bank details for the funds to be transferred.
"A caller will phone posing as a legitimate bank employee with a story to 'authorise a debit order that is about to be processed on your account'. They will extract a lot of information from you and even go as far as asking for your password, admitting that they know they should not be asking for it.
"The money in your account will be wiped out. Once you have given your password willingly, you have no recourse with your bank."
"Never provide information where you have not solicited the enquiry yourself," he said.
"We are in the electronic age where information is easily available to fraudsters. Treat your information in the same way that you treat cash. Be prudent."

When you are a photographer you get asked to be present and capture some of the most important moments in peoples lives. In these moments, you become acutely aware of the emotions in the room, you are looking for verbal or more often than not, non verbal cues to give you the opportunity to be in the best position to take the picture that most poignantly captures what is happening.
Towards the end of October, during a wedding I was photographing, I sat down to dinner, with most of my days work finished, my mind started racing with all the last minute things I'd yet to do before flying to LA the next morning with work. My whirring thoughts were interrupted by a text from my sister Victoria. She was wondering what I was doing. Not realising I was getting on a flight first thing, she was contacting me to see if there was any chance of me coming down to her work in Belfast to take some photos of her friend.
At this point I should mention my sister is a midwife and this friend had just given birth to a little baby boy called Padraig earlier that day.
Two days earlier the family had been given the devastating news that they couldn't find a heartbeat.
Briege, Padraigs very brave Mum still had the unimaginable task of delivering him.
He was delivered the afternoon and I said to my sister the only time I could do was late that night. So after finishing the wedding in Bushmills, I jumped in the car. The whole 50 miles I spent trying to get my head around how Briege and Mario must be feeling.
I was acutely aware of the privilege and the pain of being invited to photograph the wee man before his Mum and Dad had to say goodbye to his little body.
The moment I stepped into the room, the silence was deafening.
Vicky and myself spent the next hour with him and his amazing Mum and Dad. I sat and listened, trying to understand how they must be feeling and only coming inadequately close as I tried to place myself in their shoes. On a couple of occasions the silence was pierced with the faint noise of a baby waking in the room next to the private room we sat in, bringing into stark contrast the silence of our room.
I have always been a big fan of the work my Mum (who is also a midwife) and sister do, aiding new life into this world everyday. That night though I swoll with admiration & pride for the amazing work they (that is often unheard and unseen) when things don't go right for new parents.
I often get to be part of the very best and brightest days in people lives, the family reunions, the first dances, the vows, the smiles and I get to share a little in their joy. And that stays with me.
But etched in a deeper part of me still, is the honour of being allowed into that sacred silent space of saying goodbye, to capture the courage of loving parents to face into the unimaginable. And what a privilege to have got to see with my own eyes, little Padraig.

One of the biggest aha moments I've experienced since I started my journey of personal development was when I heard that "not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die".
When someone hurts us, we tend to believe that it is much more difficult to forgive this person than it is to continue to blame him or her for what was done to us. But as Marianne Williamson - spiritual author and lecturer - explained to Oprah on Super Soul Sunday. The Universe is self-correcting and self-organizing, and when someone does something to us, the Universe is already on it, making sure that we get whatever that person took away from us.
But if we keep our hearts closed and we choose to keep old resentments, bitterness, anger, we are simply not able to receive whatever amazing new opportunities the Universe is ready to compensate us with.
Our hearts need to be open for us to receive all the good that is already ours, all the love that is waiting for us to be ready to receive it.
And to make sure that our hearts are open we need to let go of all that is no longer serving us physically and emotionally.
Magic Monday is about giving you tips and inspiration to set up your intentions for the week and create the life you desire.
This week I want to encourage you to set your intention to create the space in your heart for magic to come into your life. This can also be called creating a void space – and you can also call it decluttering… emotional decluttering.
I want to call it FORGIVING.
And this is what I want you to do:
1. Remember the quote "not forgiving is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die"
2. Think of one person, circumstance or situation that is renting space in your head and making you feel bad. It can be someone that hurt you or betrayed you. It can also be something you did that you feel guilty about and can't stop thinking about it.
3. If more than one thing comes to your mind, choose the one that you feel is more difficult to forgive or let go of.
4. Set your alarm for 5 minutes and during that time, set your intention to send love and forgiveness to this person. This person can be you.
5. You can do this by just thinking about the person and repeating "I'm sorry" "I love you" "Please forgive me" "Thank You"
6. Do this every day this week.
7. Expect miracles
Every time you want to create something new or better in your life you need to make room for it, you need to get rid of old the old and all that is no longer serving you. Remember that everything is energy, and all this old stuff has energy that can be holding you back and blocking the flow of love, happiness, abundance, joy and success.
By cleaning up you will free up a whole bunch of energy and creating a space for miracles.
With love and gratitude
