What Would You Do If You Knew There Was A Science Behind Moving On?
Wanna hear some sad story? I'll tell you two.
When I was young… about 19 or 20, I fell in love hard with an American boy who was my best friend in the whole world. He later became my husband. more "What Would You Do If You Knew There Was A Science Behind Moving On?"

I've Quit Drinking Coffee For Good: Why And How I Did It
Today I celebrate my 1 year and 5 months of coffee sobriety. ☕
A lot of people ask me now when I mention this in a conversation after asking me over for a cup of coffee: why I quit or how I did it, given that coffee is one of the staples for breakfast and work.

You Will Reconsider The Way You Drink Coffee When You Read This
Last week on my Instagram, I spoke about coffee and knowing your daily healthy caffeine limit.
For most people, this is the one food they cannot absolutely give up. And be honest, I know you're guilty of this because I used to be too, we simply just drink it whenever we want.
Even CNN wrote a statistics-based article on just how much Filipinos love their coffee.
But do you know how many cups of coffee you consume daily and how much it amounts to?

Inspiration or Jealousy? Why You Shouldn't Follow Your Icons
You're following this person everywhere: on her social media, her website, maybe even her newsletter, and she's great. She seems to have it all. Her Instagram feed is on point, her blog or website polished as a clean white ceramic floor, and you're thinking…
"How the heck does she do it?"

Take A Break: 12 Ideas To Deal With Your Day Off + 5 Energizing Habits To Get Over That Slump
What do you do on your day off? Does work pour over and spill on your supposed leisure time? Are you unaware of how to spend your free time?
I know, some days you just don't feel like doing anything and you'd call it a day. If you're remotely like me, sometimes it could even extend to a week. It's a hiatus that's hard to deal and break.
And I'll tell you that's okay. Don't feel guilty at all!
Because after weeks of hard work and constant movement, our body will eventually say, "Yo, I need a break. Can we stop and catch up for a while?"
But oops, if this "break" is too long and you feel you're in a rut, what to do?
➡ Just a heads up: The following post contains some affiliate and promotional links. However, I recommend them fully because I really love them and find them extremely valuable. ☺
1. Watch and binge!
You've heard of "Netflix and chill" right?
Or iFlix. Or Google Movies.
Whatever your provider is, you get the point.
This one may be a cliché but the first thing I do when I'm exhausted is enjoy some visual entertainment. I go on an adventure with a movie like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, be swept away by romance like City of Angels, Little Manhattan or Chasing Liberty, or ride on the thriller train with Stranger Things and Lord of The Rings.
Binge for 3 days to a week if your body is really needing a wind down. Listen to it and it will tell you how much time you need.
After that, the negativity you're feeling is out of your system.
It's a decent purge, I tell ya.
2. Catch up on what you saved
Saving too many bookmarks full of blog posts, articles and videos that you thought you'll ever watch but never got around to? Me too.
Since I use Pomello, a little Pomodoro timer when I'm working, the pockets of 5-10 minute breaks are then my chance to catch up on some of them.
You can do this too and set aside a minimal of 20-30 minutes. And if you're ever more vacant than that, go for an hour or three.
3. See the sun and feel the outdoors
So much immersion plugged all day to the internet can wear you down. Break the cycle for a bit by enjoying the outdoors and the sunshine.
You'd be surprised at what 20 minutes of walking or playing outside can do to your mood.
As a mama, this part is inserted in my weekly routine when Avis insists on going outside to the clubhouse grounds. It's really hard to say no to that kid you know? Especially if she's been cooped up and busy with Youtube or indoor playing for days. Yikes.
If you're totally busy like my daughter, you could maybe get the chance by walking when you're doing your daily commute instead of conveniently riding to a near destination.
Another idea is to bike your way around if you have one. It's effortless, laid back but nonetheless a good exercise.
Or ya know, just put the damn smartphone and go out in your yard or the curb of your street! Stand there and breathe the air, smell the earth and feel the sun. ☀🌱🍃
4. Do short minute exercises
Feeling sluggish lately?
It's usually because of lack of exercise, just ask my friend Coach Sofia.
Lack of exercise can make you stagnant, which seems reasonable because low levels of vitamin D can lead to fatigue and depression.
To help you out, try Sofia's 15 minute workout here.
A little bit of movement can go a long way.
Personally I like High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and plyometrics for 10-20 minutes each round. It challenges my body to rely on weight and intensity to work out my muscles especially my legs and core.

- The Scientific 7-Minute Workout – The New York Times
- 15 Minutes & You're Done Workouts – Real Simple
- 8 At Home Workouts To Lose Weight & Build Muscle – Men's Fitness
5. Go through your social calendar
Just cause you're working or you're busy with a project or a client doesn't mean you can ignore your social needs.
Check your social calendar to see if you have upcoming events.
Hmm. Probably none? I hear you.
Use this time to catch up with friends and relatives. Like they say, "No man is an island".
Each week you can rotate with different friends, sorting them by proximity or how close their location is.
Budget constraints or don't feel like going out? No problem.
Allot one day to a particular friend you've been dying to catch up all year long and do just that. Choose from Facebook, Viber, Snapchat, Hangouts or Twitter. Even Instagram nowadays is picking up their game on messaging. But yo one word of advice, phone calls and video calls are so much better than typing.
6. Write your to-do's for the upcoming day or week
I know this might sound counter-intuitive, but trust me, there's nothing like a freed up schedule.
I use Evernote (get your FREE account here!) to jot down my thoughts, notes, to-do's and plans. It's very useful and I highly recommend it.
Another free service I use is Trello. It's like a virtual corkboard where you can organize your tasks. They have apps for the web, the iPhone, iPad, and Android models too so you can bring it anywhere you go.
For now these are my top two, but I promise to write an ultimate list of productivity and management apps and software I use!
To get first news, sign up on my newsletter and I'll let you know when it's published!
7. Unplug and meditate
Go on a technology detox and shut off your interaction from any gadget during your day off. It's good for the soul while it lets you reflect on your overall being.
I do yoga and pilates on my spare time, and on days where I play with my daughter or I feel down, I refrain from checking my social media.
It's hard to keep up when you're back but hey it's worth it.
No confusing notifications and headaches for a while!
8. Attend an event
Empty days like the weekends can be repetitive. Shake it up for a change by participating in a local event like a conference, a meetup or a bazaar.
💡 Tip: Use the Facebook events feature, Eventbrite and Meetup.com to discover events near you.
9. Date yourself
When was the last time you went on a date?
Isn't there something magical and romantic in it, don't you think? While your romantic relationship may or may not exist, it's still very important to nurture the one with ourselves.
💡 Here are some ideas:
- Set up a cozy fine shrine for you, complete with your vision board, dreams and cut out clippings for your future better self.
- Treat yourself to a nice hearty homemade meal – candlelights recommended.
- Go to a place where you can be quiet and alone with your soul, like a park or a graveyard (yep! It's not that spooky in my opinion! Famous writers do it!)
- Buy flowers and address it to yourself, or pick some from the local flower shop. You can also buy a potted plant and grow it on your own.
10. Write yourself a letter
When you're not having your best week, writing yourself a letter can be therapeutic.
There are 3 forms for this:
- Letter of forgiveness. Forgive yourself for feeling guilty and down. There are best days and worst ones, and from my experience, you just have to roll with life to thrive and survive. Forgive yourself for working too hard or too little, because that's okay. Your days will vary and know that the only pressure you feel is from you.
- Letter of appreciation. Gratitude, they say, is the best medicine to a really bad day. Thank yourself for who you are, what you're capable of, and how far you've come can uplift you.
- Letter to your future self. Time capsule, anyone? I was watching Peppa Pig with my two-year-old daughter and in one episode they decide to make a time capsule. It's a really neat idea to have something from the past uncovered in the future. My best bet is you write something that you'd want to read later on. It could be like a dialogue or a discussion of your goals and see years from now if it will happen. Now, that's magic folks!
11. Join a community
It's a great feeling to belong somewhere. Whether it be online or offline, finding a group where you share common interests is fun, engaging and enlightening.
A sense of belonging is one of the cornerstones in achieving your greater self.
Remember Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?
Yep. That one.
Find one of the strongest pursuits in your field of interests (say, fitness, blogging or cosmetics) and search a community for it. Chances are, there's already an existing one waiting to be found.

12. Do something good
Research shows doing something good makes you feel good. So why not do a little nice activity today?
[excerpt] They found that the more people participated in meaningful activities, the happier they were and the more purposeful their lives felt.
Doing good for the world or for someone increases your happiness and fulfillment. Not to mention it's a double jackpot too!
How's that for a change?
💡 Some ideas include:
- Volunteering for a non-profit on your weekend
- Visiting a local charity or orphanage on a Saturday
- Offer to take up household chores for your family
- Type someone's paper
- Buy someone a subscription to a service they use, like Spotify, Evernote, Trello
- Bake cookies and send them in bags around your neighborhood
- Thank the regular blue collar people who come by your house like the newspaper guy, the post man, the street vendor or even the security guard at your favorite establishments and tell them you're grateful for their service
- Send an e-card randomly to a friend
- Put together a playlist
And if you're still feeling a little low and can't get over the hump, here are 5 energizing habits you can DEFINITELY do any day:
- Brush your teeth.
It sounds mundane but there's this wonder of having clean teeth and minty breath to rejuvenate you!
When I'm demotivated, it's surprising how I break the funk once I brush my teeth. Turns out, I'm just annoyed by not having clean teeth. Maybe this'll work for you too! 🙂
- Take a bath.
Cold baths are for when you need a jolt and warm baths are for lazy, long sluggish days.
Choosing the right kind of bath is like a make or break. Because hey, if you're feeling lazy and you so unknowingly jump into cold shower… guess what? It'll put your mood off even more. It's like drinking black coffee when you're really thirsty.You're not getting what your body needs.
Rather, take a warm bath to soothe your senses, open up your pores and enjoy a relaxing and healing magic of water.
On the other hand, don't get a warm bath when you need to hurry!
Got it? Good.
- Inspire yourself.
Successful and goal-oriented people surround themselves with inspiration.
It could be people or things, places or quotes you find on BrainyQuotes (don't you just loooove the many quotes there?!).I, myself, use a Chrome extension called Momentum to get my day started. It's my substitute for coffee (I quit 10 months ago) and it gives me a glimpse of the time, an inspirational quote, my to-do's, the weather and my favorite bookmarks. It's become my essential for the day.
And no, this isn't a sponsored post mwahaha. I wish! But Momentum is cool as a polar bear that I would absolutely suggest having on your Chrome browser. Sorry Safari and Microsoft Edge users. They're not available for you yet.
You can inspire yourself too, by talking to a living inspiration. Have you always wanted to chat with that artist or maker you admire?
Go ahead and message them!
You never know, they might just reply! It'll definitely make your day.
And while you're at it, thank them for their talent and go ask them useful questions like what do they do when they're down, how do they find inspiration in what they do and why they do it.
- Have a planner.
I've heard of people who are not much of planners and all I can say is, even if you're one of the crowd, there's always room for a little planning.
Life just calls for it if you haven't noticed.If you don't like the idea of dotting your I's and crossing your T's then think of it as a rough preparation.Planning makes your thoughts tangible, and that's what makes it so powerful to help you get over the slump.
I recommend one with a monthly/yearly calendar and ample spaces to write appointments as well as blank spaces for your mini and macro goals.
A perfect example would be my GYFS workbook – did I mention it's only 5 pages?
You'll love it once you get it!
Sign up below to get it free straight to your inbox 🙂 yas, it's fuh-reeee!
- Laugh and get a hug.
Watch a comedy movie – I recommend anything Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler and Jason Segel.
Crack a joke and chuckle at yourself for being corny.Get a hug from someone you love, or even a friendly stranger. Yes, your pets count too!Because it's true, laughter and hugs are the best medicine.
There you go! I hope these tips sincerely help you.

You see all these people? Well, guess what. They were all behind me at the All Time Low concert. I never intended to be next to the cold barricade fencing all the crazy fans. However, I ended up that way with little to no effort. How you might ask? The answer to that friends is learning how to mosh pit.
I have been to a variety of concerts over time. Those that are standing, sitting, etc. I have been to a lot. I went to the 30 Seconds to Mars concert last year, which was my second time to ever be in crowd that wanted to jump, sway, push and sweat all at the same time. It ended badly, and I told myself I would never do it again. Except I did.
Last night, I ended up right next to the stage and singing to my heart's content along with one of my favorite bands. I must say that I decided to just go flow instead of being angered by all the chaos. I learned a few things just learning to roll with the crowd.
1) Be careful with your cellphone
I found it wise to be diligent with your phone in a mosh pit. People are constantly moving. Constantly jumping. Constantly squishing you. Especially that six foot tall guy that has blocked your view the entire concert. Yes, oh friends be alert. I dropped my phone last night and somehow heard it hit the concrete floor. I immediately grabbed it, but my phone cover didn't survive. I am sure my pretty, purple cover was trampled under someone's Converse.
2) Watch out for crowd surfers
Last night at the concert, the lead singer from All Time Low announced that it was not a real concert until someone decided to crowd surf. Well, that's all fine and good. I honestly don't care. Until it affects me that is. I watched all the crowd surfers go by. Some lost their clothes or a shoe. Others made it through effortlessly. And some got thrown over the barricade. While there are major perks to being in the front row, you never know when the crowd surfers are coming. I got kicked in the back of head hard enough to leave a knot. I guess that's the price you pay for being in the front row.
3) You will sweat and get sweated upon
I know what you're thinking. Sounds gross, right? Trust me it is. You notice when you walk out into the crisp night air and discovered your drenched and wet. You especially know something happened when you went in with straight hair and walked out with curls. I guess it's all just apart of the concert atmosphere. I found some people I graduated high school with among the crowd. One of my friends said that he always had a motto for concerts. He told me that if I didn't come out with 15 other people's sweat, I wasn't doing it right. I am fairly certain I didn't have to worry about that. In fact, I am sure I achieved.
4) Just bounce along
I felt like a ball being pelted in one of those old school pinball machines. I couldn't move, and I was trapped. Everyone is trying to push their way to the front thinking if they push hard enough, they will get there. Logically not everyone can be up front. Plus, everyone feels the need to jump and sway as they push to the beat. So between all the crowd shifting, I learned to literally go with the flow of things. There was nothing I could, so I ended up front. Such a small price to pay for a great view. I thank all the tall people.

There are some varve pairs that form in a single year, but in many cases, the observational evidence shows that multiple supposed varve couplets can and have formed in a single year (Buchheim and Biaggi 1988; Lambert and Hsü 1979; Makse et al. In fact, it has been documented that at least five pairs of varve couplets can form in a single year due to fluctuations in water flow (Lambert and Hsü 1979). It appears then, that claiming a varve is an annual event is an assumption in itself; one steeped in uniformitarian thought, but not reality.

Rob Anderson, who represents the riding of Airdrie, announced the news on his Facebook page late Monday night.
The post says that he met with Premier Jim Prentice before Christmas to let him know he wouldn't be running again.
Anderson was first elected in 2008 as a Conservative, but crossed the floor to join the Wildrose Party in 2010.
In December, he and eight Wildrose MLAs, including then leader Danielle Smith, crossed the floor to join the Tories.
Anderson says in his Facebook post that he and his wife will purse careers in the private sector while spending more time with their four boys aged five to 10.
"Serving as the MLA for Airdrie (and Airdrie-Chestermere prior to 2012) has been one of the greatest experiences and honours of my life. So many of my most cherished friendships and memories stem from my time in this role. I will spend my remaining time as MLA continuing to work on establishing 24-hour health care services in Airdrie, improving conditions for seniors at Airdrie's Bethany Care Centre, and assisting Premier Prentice with what will be a very challenging and important budget during a time of great economic uncertainly for our province."

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) � The NFL lockout is back.
The league announced the move late yesterday, hours after a key courtroom victory. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press that teams �have been told that the prior lockout rules are reinstated effective immediately.�
Earlier, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis granted the NFL�s request for a temporary stay of the injunction that lifted the 45-day lockout. Arguments will be heard as early as next week on whether that order from a federal judge in Minnesota should be overturned altogether.
�Nobody�s happy about any of this,� Green Bay Packers General Manager Ted Thompson said.
Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards, scheduled to become a free agent, put it simply on Twitter: �Looks like we�re unemployed again.�

Essay B: Identity, Interest, Talent
I have taken some time to reflect on the new Apply Texas topics. I still don't have any strong opinions. I am waiting to see how UT uses them and which ones they require. I have gotten some initial reactions from admissions professionals, parents, and students. I want to share a few thoughts.
The new Essay B reads: "Some students have an identity, an interest, or a talent that defines them in an essential way. If you are one of these students, then tell us about yourself."
Think of any college admissions essay as an "invitation to write." Essay B invites you to share something interesting about yourself. It can be anything! In the past, students were forced to fit a compelling trait or hobby narrowly into a prompt about working with diverse groups (2013-2015 Essay A), overcoming an obstacle (2013-2015 Essay B), or an issue of importance (2011-2013 Essay A).
Now, you can talk about whatever you want without having to connect it to any larger theme. This is a blessing and a curse because such an open-ended prompt requires you to supply the structure. The range of possible essays is far greater than years past. A larger range of themes means you have a real chance to set yourself apart from the applicant pool and provide some excellent context to your resume or recommendation letters.
It is also very similar to the first prompt on the Common Application.
"1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story."
One student has already asked me if it is okay to use the same essay for both. I don't see why not. Be sure to take the opportunity to connect your interest, hobby, or identity within the particular fit of your chosen university. As always, it is important to adapt your essay with the needs of the university you are seeking entry.
At first, I wasn't crazy about these new topics. But Essay B is definitely growing on me. It will reward those students who have a demonstrated curiosity and knack for a particular activity, subject, or issue It gives the flexibility for a student with a unique or defining identity characteristic to share it with reviewers. You should take this opportunity to paint a compelling picture of one quality that genuinely motivates you. Be an artist and paint your way into your dream university.
I am excited to see what students end up producing with this new opportunity!
As always, don't hesitate to contact me for assistance on how to build powerful essays.

There seems to be one colour that's ruling the fashion charts for more than just one season now, and it's the colour yellow.
Wordsworth's heart leapt with joy at the sight of 'golden daffodils', Van Gogh took solace in the summery hues of sunflowers, while Paul McCartney chose a Yellow Submarine to escape the drudgery of adult life. The colour yellow has enthralled poets, painters, and musicians for ages, but of late, the fashion world seems to be caught in the grip of this arresting colour. It all started with Queen Bey flaunting a bright yellow, silky hoodie during her 2018 Coachella performance and since then, the colour has seeped onto runways and into the wardrobes of many celebrities.
Bella Hadid showed up at the Dior Homme fashion show in Paris wearing an eye-catching fluorescent yellow suit and matching neon nail paint, while Meghan Markle looked like a ray of sunshine in the yellow, mid-length Brandon Maxwell number she wore to a function in London recently. A few months back, we saw Black Panther actress, Angela Bassett, rock a yellow fringe jumpsuit at the movie's premiere. In B-Town, the colour seems to be a favourite with the ever-stylish Kareena Kapoor Khan, who donned a sunshine yellow skirt and blouse for a recent promotional event. However, this isn't the first time the actress has flaunted this eye-catching hue as one remembers her pulling off a billowy, yellow Prabal Gurung gown a few weeks ago and a bright yellow and pink Masaba Gupta saree before that.
Why has this summery hue captured the minds and bodies of fashionistas? Stylist Aastha Sharma feels that the colour isn't a stranger to red carpets or runways and that it makes infectious comebacks every few years. "Yellow keeps coming back season after season, it's like black or white. Right now, it's summer in many countries and yellow complements the weather well. It's also such a diverse colour and has shades from lemon yellow to mustard," she says.
Celebrity stylist Esha Amin too highlights the diversity of the colour. Pointing out a trend she says, "Shades of yellow differ from country to country. In Europe, you'll see a lot of mustard, in Italy, you'll see muted yellows, while in India we wear a lot of bright yellows. It's an effortless, warm, happy colour and that's why it's being accepted so well." While the yellow trend is brightening international runways, the colour complements Indian skin tones too. Designer Tanya Sharma suggests choosing a yellow that goes well with your skin tone. "Yellow looks good on duskier skin tones, but you have to choose the right yellow. A deeper yellow, like a mustard yellow is suited to duskier complexions," says Tanya.
Aastha suggests downplaying the accessory game while wearing yellow. "If you're wearing yellow, you don't have to accessorize so much. It's such a strong colour that it makes your entire look," she says. The stylist also suggests choosing shades according to the time of day. "If you're wearing yellow in the day, pair it with whites, nudes or light pinks. If you're wearing yellow in the evening, pair it with black, gold or silver," she adds.
Stylist Khushnaz Turner, who is a fan of the yellow trend, says that the vibrant colour goes well with denim and whites. "Yellow also goes well with darker hues like burgundy or navy blue," she adds. Esha, however, feels that it's best to pair the colour with muted hues. "The whole colour block zone is too passé now, so mute the yellow with a liquid gold, a dull silver or maybe nude. For men, mustard and white look great. Don't try to mix two primary colours together, that vibe is over," she advises.

The purpose of a business is to become the best version of
itself. In order to achieve this, companies must have
fully engaged and committed employees.
But how does an organization get engaged and committed
HR CONTRARIAN POINTER: The answer lies in helping
employees to fulfill their personal desires to progress
and advance.
The sales guru, Zig Zigler, has a famous line,
"You can get everything in life you want if you just help
enough other people get what they want."
Businesses can help employees ignite their passion for
work by helping employees achieve their personal goals and
Let's face it, dreams and personal goals are at the core
of every person. It is there that our passion for life
burns. When people get caught up in day-to-day survival,
they stop thinking about the future. When they stop
dreaming, they begin to disengage from work,
relationships, life, etc.
If an organization wants fully engaged, committed, and
loyal employees, then companies need to show employees how
to "connect the dots" between the jobs they currently have
and the futures they dream of.
Lukesh Consulting Group has created a program for client
companies called Personal Goal Planning (PGP).
PGP is a methodology for improving employee engagement
that results in dramatic increases in customer
satisfaction, company culture, sales, and profits.

finances and culture of a business, download our white

Diagram Reports
Generating Diagram Reports in Report Designer
Many of the Isograph software products use diagrams to represent the system logic. Examples are reliability networks and fault trees. Using the report generator it is possible to include these diagrams in a report. A diagram report may consist of one or more pages, for example a fault tree diagram may be spread across many pages. Some of the main features are described below:
- The vertical and horizontal indents in the drawing area may be specified
- Whether the diagram should maintain its aspect ratio or fit to the drawing area may be specified
- When used in conjunction with programs such as Reliability Workbench which contain multiple software modules the category of diagram to be displayed may be selected.
- As with graph and text reports, diagram reports can be either printed out directly to color or monochrome devices or exported in Rich Text Format (RTF). The RTF file can then be imported into other products such as Microsoft Word where it could be combined into a larger document and then printed.

Smith and Jacob
Jacob rolled down his window. He didn't say anything. His eyes were closed, and the wind was blowing back his light brown hair. We passed by the house where I had snorted heroin for the first time, about two years ago, though the house was on the market again, now that Nick's family moved to an even swankier neighborhood. I'd had an argument with Dad about something I can't remember, probably my ripped-up jeans or my haircut, even though I wondered how he could notice anything about me while Mom was dying. He'd pulled out the gun, and described in detail what my brains would look like once he'd blown them out. As I ran out the door, I told him my brains weren't worth blowing out. I thought about seeing Mom at the hospital, but that was when Nick texted me and told me to come right over. Nick's dad was screwing our friend Brandon's mom, and Nick's mom worked late hours as a nurse, so the house was always empty on weeknights. By the time I came home from Nick's, Jacob was there. Dad had been working on the paperwork all along. Six months later, me and Nick were shooting up.

For me one of the most wonderful things in publishing is getting the cover art for my book. It's second only to having the book in my hands. I was in England when I heard my agent got Heart Thief's cover flat. "Well what does it look like?" I asked. "Like a big book!" (single element instead of a clinch). As soon as I got home I searched for the cover in my mail, to no avail (yes, I know that rhymes, but I have a full day ahead of me, so I can't edit this three times...). It had been sent to the wrong author (Catherine Coulter, though Catherine Coulter and I don't write anything like each other, and she is a Big Name.)
When I finally got the cover flat, I was a little apprehensive. The metallic silver was great, but the lettering is tough to read. As you can see, it's the hardest to post on the web. I called my editor. I LOVE the silver metallic," I said (because it reflects something in the book – sorry full of bad wording today). "But," I said. "There's no big, green heart in the book, shouldn't I write one in?" My editor laughed. "Oh, no, that's not necessary!"
Yes, it is necessary. I hate when the cover doesn't have anything to do with the book, so I wrote it in. Here's the thing. All through the book, Ruis, the hero, is accused of stealing a valuable, beautiful, emerald necklace. He's banished because of it, death for him to stay in the city (Druida). But near the end of the book he makes a gift for my heroine.
"When the gyro-atom was inserted into the crystal, the heart would glow and sparkle with energy. It would make the T'Birch emeralds look like cheap glass. Ruis grinned."
To me, through the use of this symbol, this moment of the book became a level deeper than it had been.
Moral of the story: Making changes to your book, no matter for what reason, like including the cover, can improve your book.
Another note. I don't have a correct cover flat for Heart Thief. Between the time I got the cover flats and the book was printed, my editor had done something wonderful for me. She'd gotten Jayne Ann Krentz (who writes wonderful futuristic/fantasies as Jayne Castle) to give me a long, beautiful quote that went on the front cover.
JAYNE ANN KRENTZ: I loved HEART THIEF! This is what futuristic romance is all about. Robin D. Owens writes the kind of futuristic romance we've all been waiting to read; certainly the kind that I've been waiting for. She provides a wonderful, gripping mix of passion, exotic futuristic settings and edgy suspense. If you've been waiting for someone to do futuristic romance right, you're in luck, Robin D. Owens is the author for you.
Excerpts of Heart Thief are on my READS page of my website, and a full chapter can be accessed here: http://robindowens.com/reads/heartthief.htm
Love to all,

Breathtaking Stills from this Year's SF Independence Day Fireworks
Oh, the fireworks of yesterday. Be still, my heart.
Now that we've all fully recovered from our food and adult-beverage comas, we can reflect on the prior day's festivities. The copious amounts of meats, the wine; the beer, the fresh sushi. (Because, yes, you can't celebrate 'Murica Day in SF without a sprinkling of Asian influence. We're a city—and country—founded by immigrants, afterall.) And looking back these images, we can't help but feel nostalgic for the drinks of Tuesday's past.
Here's some of our favorite snapshots of the Bay Area Fireworks on America's 242nd Birthday. Cheers to you and everything red-white-and-blue, gang!

Woodland School Activities
On Wednesday 15th November all of our lower school children took part in their first woodland school activities. Beth Kent led the activities in our own woodland area at the back of school.
The children thought about how God has created us with five amazing senses to enjoy his creation. During the day each class had the opportunity to collect sticks to make a photo frame and practice knotting techniques. Some children also made colourful woolly wood hangings.
At the end of day we all warmed up together with hot chocolate, marshmallows and a story. The children had great fun exploring God's creation and learning together in the outdoor environment.

- 1st degree Black Belt
- Black Belt Instructor
My relationship with martial arts has helped me grow and develop the self-confidence I have today and continues to do so in many ways. Along with martial arts, my relationship with the AMAA staff is strong and I'm grateful for that.
Award: Teaching excellence from AMAA – 2015
Interests: reading, music, martial arts, animals
I graduated from Fullerton Union High School in 2016. I am currently attending Mount San Antonio College and I am studying animal science in order to become a veterinarian.
I enjoy teaching kids martial arts because I feel like that is where the teacher and student relationship starts and grows from. That is how the students learn to get to know the teacher and to trust their teacher. The relationship between the two is pure.

Reacting to the Death of Robin Williams
Grieving and getting support in the wake of this tragedy
When a public figure dies, we may feel more grief than we think should be "normal." The vast majority of us never met Robin Williams, but as Facebook feeds and the media fill with tributes, it's obvious how much this man felt a part of so many of our lives. And it is a shock to learn that someone whom we associate most with laughter died by suicide.
But that grief, and the feelings that may accompany it, are completely normal. It's normal to mourn someone who had such an impact on our collective culture and brought us so much joy.
Williams' death exposes us, however briefly, to the reality and risks of mental illness. As we mourn him, let's take this moment to speak honestly about mental illness and offer support to anyone who is struggling with it.
Sometimes we are afraid to ask if someone is struggling for fear of making it worse, but it allways helps to name feelings. There is no shame in naming the need for help, asking for help, or receiving help to get better.
Know the risk factors for suicide
Several factors can put a person at risk for attempting suicide, including:
- Previous suicide attempt(s)
- History of depression or other mental disorders including: bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder, schizophrenia, borderline or antisocial personality disorder, psychotic disorders and anxiety disorders
- Alcohol and other substance use disorders
- Family history of suicide or violence
- Major physical illness
- A history of trauma or abuse
- Feeling hopeless or alone
Many people with these risk factors do not attempt suicide, but having them does increase the likelihood that someone faced with other triggers (including exposure to another person's suicide) may attempt it.
Reach out to friends and family
Do you know someone who has either survived a suicide attempt or fits the risk factors above? Check in with them to see how they're doing in the wake of Williams' death. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has an excellent guide to spotting the warning signs of suicide and what to do if you are concerned someone may be considering it.
They also offer this helpful list of support resources for those who have lost someone to suicide and find the media coverage difficult.
If you are considering suicide, know there are people who want to talk with you right now to get you the help you need. Ask until you get help. Call 1-800-273-TALK or visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Pay attention to how you are feeling
Do you find it upsetting to listen to news coverage or reports? It's ok to disengage when you feel upset or anxious. It's a perfect example of self-care; it doesn't mean you're not interested or affected, it just means you know how to protect yourself.
Robin Williams no doubt helped many of us through difficult times by lightening our burden with laughter and insight. And his death, however we respond to it, is a sad, but important, opportunity to bring light to a very real, and very preventable, cause of death.

Sabina's South Philly Macaroni SaladPosted on May 29th, 2011 4 comments
I wanted to post "How to have a great Retro BBQ" this weekend but I got into some other projects…so here's at least one recipe you can still have for tomorrow! Promise to have the BBQ post up soon!
When I was a kid, every time we had a BBQ my mother made the macaroni salad and my grandmother made the potato salad. My father and my uncle cooked the burgers and dogs on the grill, my aunt usually helped by making something that you could boil in a plastic bag (her specialty was Nibblits in butter sauce) and my grandfather would play with me while everyone else worked.
Here's the recipe for my mother's (Sabina) macaroni salad. I've never had it like this anywhere else, have no idea where she came up with the recipe, but it's my favorite…it's easy to make, and is a hell of a lot better than the stuff you get a Publix. This recipe goes way back to at least the 1960's…and since she probably got it from my grandmother, it likely goes back to the 50's or earlier. So for a little taste of the past, here's
Sabina's South Philly Macaroni Salad
1 Medium Red Pepper, diced
1 Medium Green Pepper, diced
1 Medium (3" Diameter) Sweet Onion, diced
1/2 Large Red Onion, diced (Dice the other half to add to taste)
2 Large Carrots, diced
2-3 Large Celery Stalks, diced
About 1/4 cup Bacos (not real bacon bits)
Mayo (Hellman's only)
Salt & Pepper
2 Lbs. Good Quality Elbo Macaroni
• Boil the Macaroni as usual, until al dente…not too soft. Drain and let cool. Don't rinse.
• Meanwhile, dice all the vegetables into a large bowl and add the bacon bits. When the macaroni is cool, mix it into the vegetables.
• Mix in mayo one heaping tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency. You want it to just coat the macaroni. Too much will ruin the salad. I use about 4-5 heaping tablespoons.
• Add about a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of pepper and mix in. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
The macaroni will absorb the mayo so you 'mayo' need to add more. (Get it?) Add more salt and pepper to taste. You can also add more of the red chopped onion to taste. Just be careful, if the onions are too strong they will overpower the whole thing.
That's it! Happy Memorial Day!
Tiki Cocktails & Kool Ideas for Labor Day Weekend!Posted on September 3rd, 2010 No comments
Happy Labor Day, Swingers!
With the three-day weekend ahead I thought I'd throw in a few good old drink recipes and party ideas to make things a little more fun. Sure, Labor Day is all about Barbecues and beer for most people, but for us swingin' Kats & Kitties, we need something a little hipper. So here goes…
Tropical Mellon Ball Cocktails
2 oz. Coconut Rum
2 oz. Midori Liquor
1/2 oz. Sour Mix
Throw it all in a shaker with rocks and shake it up good. Strain over cracked ice in a hurricane glass or Tiki mug, and garnish with an orange slice and a cherry on one of those little plastic swords. Add an umbrella and a flamingo swizzle stick and viola!
Watermelon Martini
8 oz watermelon juice (press watermelon through a sieve or cheesecloth)
4 oz Vodka
2 ozsimple syrup
juice of 1 lime
3 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons sugar
Watermelon slices
Rim: Mix together the sugar and salt, then wet the rim of a chilled martini glass with a piece of watermelon. Dip the rim into the mix.
Throw the watermelon juice, vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup into a shaker with ice and give it a good rattle. Strain it into the martini glasses and garnish with a hunk of watermelon. Oh, yeah!
Perfectly Grilled Hound Dogs
To do this right you're going to have to find a butcher or a deli that sells Quarter Pound Hounds…jumbo all-beef hot dogs that blow away anything you'll find in a plastic package. If you can't, next best thing is Ball Park all-beef (or Angus), or Sabrett's.
Prep: Boil the dogs for about five to eight minutes in beer – Miller High Life or Pabst Blue Ribbon, to stick to tradition. This cooks them all the way through and infuses a nice lazy hazy crazy days of summer beer taste.
Grill: First of all, you can't BBQ retro with a gas grill. No Patio Daddy-O is going allow propane in his back yard, so get charcoal and hickory wood chips like a real man. Soak the chips in water for at least an hour. Get the coals burning and when they ash over, place some wood chips on top and watch them start smoking. Put the hounds on the grill and let them smoke for a few minutes, turning so they don't burn. Take 'em off when they start to turn dark brown (if you like them blackened like my lovely wife does, leave them on a little longer. They'll char up nice).
Serve: Don't skimp on buns. Get good quality dog buns, fresh if possible. Potato rolls are great too. Add your choice of condiments (but not ketchup, dammit) and enjoy yourself. Personally I like spicy mustard, sweet relish, a little onion and occasionally kraut on my dogs.
Mix it up: A variation on this is to add a little hickory BBQ sauce to the dogs, if you dig it. Also you can add some chili to make the most incredible chili dogs you've ever tasted.
Old Fashioned South Philly Style Macaroni Salad
You don't have to be a whiz in the kitch to pull off this recipe. Click here for the post.
Sweet Tropical Fruit Dessert
I got this recipe from a kid's cookbook when I was about eight. It's easy to make and fun to eat, and goes perfectly with a Tiki-style party of any kind. Just layer these ingredients (in this order) in a rectangular pan or tupperware:
Sweetened Shredded Coconut
Orange Slices
Apple Slices
Dark Chocolate Chips
Sweetened Shredded Coconut
Banana Slices
Dark Chocolate Chips
Top off with Pineapple chunks and decorate with little Tiki toothpick flags, or whatever you have. Serve it chilled. It's sweet, but sooooo good. If you want to kick it up a little, drizzle some Kaluha over each serving. Uhhh-huh.
And Of Course…
Have A Labor Day Luau!
Click Here for my post on having a groovy tropical Labor Day Luau the easy way. Great for you kids that dig Tiki but don't have your home devoted to it.
Well kids, I hope some of you get a kick out of the stuff I've posted here. It will probably be raining here all weekend (Hurricane Earl's kickback) so we'll probably hit Machete at the movies and stay inside…or at the Tiki Bar under the lanai, at least.
-Happy Labor Day Weekend from Tiki Chris and the staff at Tiki Lounge Talk: Colleen, Tiki the Cat, Cat the Cat, Rio & Zack (the Parrots), Simon & Sidney (the Cockatiels), and our temps Lucy, Faith, Betsey, Merry, Lila, Fry & Amy.
Twilight Dinner on the LanaiPosted on June 11th, 2009 1 comment
What a beautiful evening it's been; a balmy 76°, a slight breeze, not the slightest threat of rain. We decided to have a BBQ and eat out the lanai, something we certainly don't do often enough. I turned on the Tiki Bar lights, set the Martin Denny and Les Baxter music to play, and BBQ'd some burgers and fresh corn.
The sounds of the jungle music intertwined with the soft splash of the waterfall as our conversation floated freely from one subject to another, everything from our crazy neighbor to the Hukilau we're attending this Saturday in Fort Lauderdale. I swear to you, the music and the lights and the waterfall and eating by the Tiki Bar make plain burgers taste like…dare I say it…Cheeseburgers in Paradise.
Once finished this post, I believe I'll return to the lanai to have a nice tropical cocktail, and read from one of my favorite new books, The Parrot Talks in Chocolate.

Family friendly summer holiday destinations according to you
We asked and you delivered. So here are your recommendations for best places to holiday with a sprog or 4:
Martinhal, Quinta Portugal
By far the most popular amongst you! Portugal is f'ing amazing as a holiday destination with babies (lauren went when Ronnie was 4 months old), the main reason is because it's around 2 hours in the air, and there is NO TIME DIFFERENCE!! HOLLLAA. Martinhaul is equipped with everything to make sure your kid is entertained, fed and that you also get some chill time. Spenny during school holiday time but where the hell isn't!
Sensatori Ibiza, Thompson all inclusive
The mum babe that sent us this totally gets our vibe with the ideal of an all inclusive buffet breaking her out into a cold sweat. BUT apparently Sentori does it 'very very nicely' 'fantastic for kids is on a great spot on the island you share beach with cotton club and is reasonably priced' WIN WIN WIN.
If it's a self catering villa you're into then these guys seems to have some goodies.
'We've been twice. Girls are in separate rooms to us which means we all sleep, Villas have a pool so contantly entertained. Wifi for when pawpatrol will only do. Nerja and Ibiza both had nearby beaches and playgrounds that we stumbled across. By adjusting nap times we could go for dinner at 9 kids were welcomed and had so much attention' @lau_randles
Lauren's sister took her kids here 2 years ago. It was exactly what they needed, although she states it wouldn't have been something she'd done without kids- but lets face it most of these aren't!! The kids loved it and they got the rest they needed as the kiddies were entertained.
'Amazing kids club, baby toddler pool and nice adult loungers. 2 hours free in kids club and short and easy flight' @emmacarpenter 29
'Chefs will cook any special requests for babies too, 5 restaurants 2 of them Michelin star- top tip: book the villa as a hotel room is too small' @sethilove09
Jess went here last year with the kids, and write up a review on it. Dubai is REALLY HOT in the summer, but it is also cheapest at that time of year too. So its a trade off. These Villas with a pool are a great answer to travelling with babies, whilst they nap you can get in that heat!!!!
The dogs bollocks of holidays. Our favourite Norland nanny @nanny.inspiration.station works out here on her break from her family, need we say anymore!!!

McCarran Wireless/
McCarran Airport in Las Vegas recently started offering free wi-fi. That's great and all, but they've got it so locked down you can't do much with it. I can't connect to any instant messaging servers and I can't get my e-mail via secure IMAP from work. I was eventually able to get the e-mail by tunneling through our VPN, but still no solution for the instant messaging. I've still got an hour until my flight leaves, and while web access is better than nothing, denying e-mail and IM traffic is absurd. Update: It's also slooow as molasses. I've got pretty good signal strength, but am getting completely erratic connections. They put this in for the CES show that started today, and as far as I'm concerned, it's a failure.

Here are the numbers to sum up our final new gTLD report of the year, and I must say that things are looking a lot different. We have 5 new entrants for the month while .TOP and .XYZ have continued to stick to the positions for the entire year. The year end promos that were running was a causative factor for having 5 new entrants for December. So that's something fresh! Let's take a look at the break down of new gTLD adds for the month in the infographic below.
1) .TOP – For the past few months, .TOP has managed to take more than 50% of the new gTLD shares which has made it the best performing domain extension for 2016. So we got to give you guys a hand for making this happen. As usual, .TOP was priced at $0.49 for the month of December. Did you know that .TOP has a total share of 17.62% nTLD registrations globally (according to nTLD stats)?
2) .XYZ – The world's highest registered nTLD has taken 8.6% of the new gTLD adds in our report and was priced at $0.99 as usual (except for the Black Friday Promo). The total number of .XYZ registrations for the month of December are 1310. Also, .XYZ has a total of 6,656,760 all across the globe (according to ntld stats).
3) .WIN – .WIN wasn't in our list of top 15 new gTLDs for November and it managed to directly move to position 3 for the month. .WIN was priced at $1.99 and takes a total of 6.7% of the new gTLD adds for December as you can see in the infographic above. Globally, .WIN comes right after .TOP and ranks at position 3 (according to ntld stats).
4) .SPACE – .SPACE has moved up one position in December in spite of the Black Friday promo ending in November. Radix's new gTLD ranks at 20 (according to ntld stats) and has total of 205,300 registrations globally (namestat.org).
5) .ONLINE – The domain extension moves to position 5 as compared to position 4 which it took last month. .ONLINE was priced at $4.99 in December and has been one of our consistently performing TLDs in our reports. Have a look at some killer stats in the image below:
We have new entrants this month like .LINK, .PROMO, BET as well as .PARTY! .LINK was running at a special promo price of $1.99 while .PARTY and .PROMO were priced at $1.99 & $2.99 for December. Just like last month's report, the middle tier domain names are neck to neck with each other again. Radix's .STORE as well as .BET are at par grabbing 0.7% each.
We've kickstarted 2017 with a several number of domain promos!
- .TOP is running at a price of $1.99
- We are introducing .SHOP at a special price – $6.99
- You can get .FASHION for just $8.49 & .FIT for just $5.99
- .CASA is running at a special promo price of just $2.99
- Looking for a wider range of new gTLDs? Do have a look at our promos here

The Jazz/Chamber ensemble is the logical continuation of Billy Childs' musical work from his career….an organic blend of disparate genres of music - in this case, Jazz and European Classical music. This is done through the prism of chamber music. Billy has released two recordings of this music: Lyric, Vol. 1 and Autumn: In Moving Pictures, Vol. 2. Combined, these recordings have garnered 5 Grammy nominations and 2 wins. The orchestration consists of 10 instruments, 8 of which are string instruments, giving the group a unique and impressionistic sonic palette.
Fascinated with the dramatic power of the spoken word, especially poetry, Billy combines these disciplines into an organic whole that is quite satisfying. The subjects of the poetry are dramatically set to music, and range from racial exclusion, the need for love and forgiveness, sensuality, and urban alienation. Billy has not attempted a concert of this magnitude before, and is very excited to bring these results to the stage. With the combination of instrumental music, singing, and poetry this event promises to be a concert for the ages. Don't miss it. billychilds.com/

The right tool for the job.
Specially designed to work with the tight tolerances and narrow profiles of today's 10- and 11-speed chains, the CT-4.3 even includes a removable anvil to peen Campagnolo 11-speed chains, eliminating the need for a separate tool. It works great with the Shimano CN-9000 chain, too, and of course it will work with other multi-speed chains.*
Integrated Link Pocket for precise alignment. Replaceable rotating pin. Contoured cushioned handles and a precisely machined investment cast body and components make for a tool that will stand up to daily shop use.
*Note: The CT-4.3 Master Chain Tool is NOT compatible with Wipperman® brand chains or any 1/8" track/single-speed chains.
The tool seems well designed, but be sure to order extra pins with your order. The pin on my tool broke with the first usage. It could have been lack of finnese on my part, but nonetheless I'll need to order replacements before my next usage.
Thanks for your review! I asked our customer service department to get in touch with you about the broken pin -- we usually find these tools to be quite reliable and trustworthy, so we'd like to help you out. If you have any questions, you can always get in touch with us at [email protected]
Would you expect anything less from Park? Feels great in the hand and works very well
If you want the job done properly and quickly
good tools are of the essence
Since my told tool broke, fixing the Campy chain,
I had to get one to finish the job.
Sturdy and easy to use, should last for a looong time....for the price!
Since the old tool broke, while fixing my Campy chain,
I had no choice but to buy one to finish the job.
Sturdy and works like a charm.
this is a serious tool. I own several bikes, with Shimano and Campagnolo drivetrains. This tool works great on both. It's solidly built. It holds the chain rock steady as you push out the old and push in the new. If you like to change your own chains, or remove them for cleaning as I do, it's totally worth the investment. Highly recommended.
I've used a variety of chain tools in the past - the handle creates torque that makes it easy and efficient to remove and install a new chain.
I used this to change out my campy 10 speed chain. This is a great tool, works on both a campy 10 speed and 11 speed chain, and much cheaper than the campy tool.

Crooked Spies, The Moon Runners (Swift Current, Saskatchewan) and The Corey Hotline
Where: Palomino Smokehouse and Social Club
109 7 Avenue S.W Calgary
18+ with government issued identification
When: Friday February 15, 2019
Doors: 9:00pm
Admission: $10.00 Advance Available at https://slothrecords.wordpress.com/ or www.myshowpass.com
Crooked Spies
Sweaty palms and beat red bliss, broken strings with an electric kiss. From an outsider looking in this concisely paints a picture of Crooked Spies, a four-piece rock band hailing from Calgary, AB. Fronted by brothers Dylan and Steven Evanik, the group spans the entire spectrum of the genre. Influenced heavily by the garage rock revival, they adhere to a raw & natural, "passion vs. fashion" approach to the art form having been compared to acts such as The Black Keys, RATM and Danzig.
The Moon Runners (Swift Current, Saskatchewan)
Swift Current's The Moon Runners are musical astronauts playing frantic, progressive rock. Pedal boards stretch out like launch pads and the rhythms add up to math equations. It's fearless, emotional, and reckless.
The Corey Hotline
The Corey Hotline is the rock n' roll band that will make your bad times good times, and your good times, best times.
Their music is hot, heavy, and the phone lines are ready.
*This event takes place on the territory of the Blackfoot and the people of Treaty 7 Region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikuni, the Kainai, the Tsuu T'ina and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations. Calgary is also home to the Metis Nation of Alberta, Region III.

Extruding A 3D Sketch/
This is a followup post to episode 92 when I discussed 3D sketches in SolidWorks. As I mentioned, many people don't realize that you can extrude or cut with a 3D sketch as long as it is closed and it has a vector direction to extrude along. As you can see, selecting the 3D sketch will be a contour that creates a fill surface and your direction can use a linear edge or sketch. It will essentially perform a directional sweep but this direction option can be useful for 2D sketches as well, in the event you don't want to extrude or cut normal to the sketch plane.
I also mentioned that you could use this to cut a free form directional cut into a complex surface using the spline on surface command. This command can be found under Tools, Sketch Entities, Spline on Surface. Once launched, the command will begin a 3D sketch and allow sketching on a complex surface, which will automatically reference the spline points coincident with that surface. Once finished, sketch a straight line in the vector direction of the cut, which could be within the same 3D sketch, or select a linear edge of the part. Now launch the Cut Extrude tool and select the straight line as the direction component and select the spline on surface as the cut contour.
This is one of those features that may come in handy for those obscure applications so I thought I would add a visual aid to follow the podcast. By the way, in case you were curious, this was added back in SolidWorks 2004. ~Lou

I was tired of the horrible service and the lack of knowledge at the big box hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowe's,etc..) so I decided to give the local store a chance. Garber's has had everything I've needed or has been able to order whatever wasn't in stock at the time. Prices are reasonable. Sometimes cheaper than the big guys. The help is knowledgeable and friendly. I personally have purchased entrance doors, molding and assorted hardware. I highly recommend. The guy with the negative review must work for Home Depot...LOL
You would think that a small place competing with the big boys would offer excellent service. This is not the case with Garbers, order wood or doors expect them to be delivered in a station wagon with many dings and dents after paying the $45 delivery charge. Expect a fight for a refund. This place exists due to lazy contractors who are going to pass the higher costs onto their frustrated customers. If you want zero help, bad quality and rude salespeople you might as well go to Home Depot at least it will be cheaper!

Yet, I'm optimistic right now. I'm optimistic because while our political system is a mess, the economic and social values of the country remain sound. My optimism is also based on the conviction that serious, vibrant societies don't sit by and do nothing as their governments drive off a cliff.

You can't organize a movement like this around pain — around tax increases and spending cuts. But you can organize one around a broad revitalization agenda, and, above all, love of country.

Like the civil rights movement, this movement will ask Americans to live up to their best selves. But it will do other things besides.
It will have to restore the social norms that prevailed through much of American history: when narcissism and hyperpartisanship was mitigated by loyalties larger than tribe and self; when competition between the parties was limited and constructive, not total and fratricidal.
This movement will have to build institutions to support the leaders who make the hard bargains. As in the civil rights era, politicians won't make big changes unless they are impelled and protected by a social upsurge.
Most important, this movement will have to develop a governing philosophy and a policy agenda. Right now, orthodox liberals and conservatives have their idea networks, and everybody else is intellectual roadkill. This coming movement will have to revive the American System: a governing philosophy that believes in targeted federal efforts to arouse growth, social mobility and responsibility.
Like the chairmen's report, this movement could demand that Congress wipe out tax loopholes and begin anew. It could protect federal aid to the poor while reducing federal subsidies to the upper-middle class.
The coming movement may be a third party or it may support serious people in the existing two. Its goal will be unapologetic: preserving American pre-eminence. It will preserve America's standing in the world on the grounds that this supremacy is a gift to our children and a blessing for the earth.Continue reading the main story
