With Mixology18 only a month away, we thought it would be prudent to find out what a winning mix looks like. It would, in the majority of cases, be impossible for a team of judges to physically visit every project that entered an awards programme.
In most cases, the judges' decision rests on the quality of information contained in the awards submission. Pulling together an award-winning presentation can be the difference that elevates the status of a project to new heights. Conveying the story of the design process and convincing the judges that yours is worth the acclaim isn't easy to achieve – it takes careful planning, the best images, and tapping into that 'special something' that has successfully created the ultimate experience for the discerning traveller.
We've asked a panel of award judges to see what hospitality jurors look for in awards submissions in order to reveal what makes a particular hotel 'award-winning' worthy…
1 Benedict Wilhelm: Creative Director, Benedict Wilhelm Design
'The first and most important tool to describe any project would have to be imagery. But, of course, it's difficult to experience a living space through just images and some text. Quality of light, senses such as smell and touch, along with materiality are tricky to capture perfectly, so choosing the right combination between relevant shots and information to not only describe but sell these aspects is critical. It's all about explaining the overall concept and how it's been translated throughout the design. A complete design needs to include everything from layouts and details, right down to the choice of artwork — it needs to read as one and feel complete.
'Context should always feature. Was the historical and cultural context part of the brief and the concept, and has this been addressed and included in any form? If yes, tell us how. I like to find evidence of local craftsman, architectural references, local art and furniture being included. When I stay somewhere I like these ideas to be reflected in the design.
'Knowing the budget is key to understanding what the designers or architects were working with and how they have made use of resources. Does the design demonstrate quality? Even in a budget hotel, detailing is key to the aesthetics but also to demonstrating a creative edge. Clever detailing and considered design enhances the customer experience, making it stand out. It's also worthwhile including a note about any challenges and restrictions the designers faced and how, through clever design solutions, these have been overcome.'
2 Simon Jackson: Design Consultant, sjjdc limited
'The unfortunate reality is there's never quite enough time to substantially review award submissions, so it's often the seductive imagery that gains immediate attention. I, for one, am a stickler for digging deeper into each submission's content. Understanding the requirements and strategic response plays more to my desire to grasp the solution to the problem given.
'Interior design is in the top 4% of professions that can positively affect behaviour and impact business strategy. To me, telling the story is key, and including graphic content to assist the storytelling helps enormously. I love to see images of approach and methodology and early concept sketches that depict the thought process and development as ideas mature.
'Hospitality design, we often say, is about creating dreams but should be much more than that…. what wide ranging impact did the design solution bring to developer, operator and staff, their processes and procedures, as well as the emotional impact to the people lucky enough to enjoy and fulfil their dreams?'
3 Caroline Cundall: Director, Interior Design – Europe, IHG
'It's important to convey the ambience and feel for the hotel from the guest point of view – from the entry experience and impact of their first impression, through to the style and comfort of the guestroom. Even from a design point of view, the functionality of the guestroom is important, and a well-considered room design will take ease of use into account as well as appearance and atmosphere.
'For a presentation, I would initially look to understand the story behind the design – the thought process and key detailing that the designer has initiated into the schemes. An ideal presentation should show ambient images of an area at different times of the day as the mood and use of a space can change dramatically from morning to night. It is also good to see close up details of key design features to get a better understanding of the quality and finish.'
4 Maria Katsarou Vafiadis: Founder and Managing Director, MKV Design
'The most difficult part in winning over a competition jury panel lies in giving them a full understanding of the project from a written and visual presentation without the authors physically being able to argue their case. Clearly, presentation is of paramount importance and should be executed in such a way that it does the project justice in terms of clarity, structure and, of course, visual impact and quality.
'When I am asked to judge competitions myself, I always look above all for two things; firstly, the extraordinary, something that I have not seen before. This can be either a redesign or the design for a brand-new space but the point is that there should be something especially thoughtful and innovative – perhaps the unexpected use of certain materials or a spatial solution, for example.
'But physical design and architectural features are not enough. I also look for a strong and coherent narrative. In hotel interiors, where one must create memorable experiences, I always look for the thread that unifies the design into a compelling story.'

One solution doesn't fit all. We offer superior, customised designs for solar farm projects that take into account the unique requirements of different geographies. Our products are designed based on criteria specific to each location such as wind-speed, tilt angle, module type and size, and terrain information. Our fabrication processes are robust and follow stringent quality norms, all validated by third-party experts.
Our photovoltaic module mounting systems are optimally designed for durability, using high-quality steel. We source steel from our global steel trading division, which allows us a unique pricing advantage thus offering our customers an optimum return on investment.
Ground Mounted Solutions
Our fixed tilt module mounting systems with solar panels tilted at a fixed angle, are simple and convenient to install. Our engineers study the local terrain and calculate the optimum fixed angle so as to capture the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the year. Our unique and patented profiles also allow faster installations as compared to conventional systems.
Our Adjustable tilt module mounting systems are customised based on project location and customer's requirements. In this solution, the panel tilt can be adjusted seasonally.
Our Adjustable tilt structures capture more energy during the year by adjusting the tilt of the panels according to the season, as the sun is higher in the summer and lower in the winter. We offer two, three and four seasonal variations.
Adjustable tilt structures tend to be heavier, but generate more electricity as compared to fixed tilt structures.
Our partnership with leading tracker suppliers enables us to provide solar tracking solutions that facilitate a gain of 15-18 per cent in power generation.
Roof-Mounted Systems and Carports
Our expertise in designing module mounting structures enables us to provide customised solutions for rooftop solar projects and carport projects. We aim to provide optimised, cost-effective and durable solutions considering the safety of the civil structure, not only during the construction phase but also during operations and maintenance. We have a proven capability in providing solutions for different types of roof designs, including industrial, pre-fabricated and RCC roofs.
Rural Electrification and Diesel Replacement Solutions
In sparsely populated areas, the cost of central power generation and transmission through extensive infrastructure is prohibitively high. In such areas, distributed generation of solar photovoltaic power, a renewable energy, is a more viable option.
These systems are designed based on local needs to provide an off-grid system that is more economical than a conventional grid. A distributed solar system is used to set up a mini grid that supplies power to a village or a hamlet, which was previously un-electrified.
A decentralised distributed system with battery storage can be used simultaneously with individual solar home lighting systems to form a grid. This can be extended based on demand requirement. The battery storage allows the solar electricity produced during the day to be used during night time also, thus functioning as a regular grid.

Orgasm has been reported to occur in response to imagery in the absence of any physical stimulation. This study was undertaken to ascertain whether the subjective report of imagery-induced orgasm is accompanied by physiological and perceptual events that are characteristic of genitally stimulated orgasm. Subjects were women who claimed that they could experience orgasm from imagery alone. Orgasm from self-induced imagery or genital self-stimulation generated significant increases in systolic blood pressure, heart rate, pupil diameter, pain detection threshold, and pain tolerance threshold over resting control conditions. These findings provide evidence that orgasm from self-induced imagery and genital self-stimulation can each produce significant and substantial net sympathetic activation and concomitant significant increases in pain thresholds. The increases in the self-induced imagery orgasm condition were comparable in magnitude to those in the genital self-stimulation-produced orgasm condition. On this basis we state that physical genital stimulation is evidently not necessary to produce a state that is reported to be an orgasm and that a reassessment of the nature of orgasm is warranted.

Some arguments for adopting a carb-cycling strategy include;
1 - By ensuring there are more low calorie/carb days than high calorie/carb days we can keep our body in the calorie deficit required for sustained fat loss.
2 - Intermittent bouts of higher calories and carbs can help offset any slowing down in our metabolic rate which can occur during a consistently low calorie meal plan.
3 - High intensity exercise drains our muscles of glycogen so they will readily soak up the extra carbs consumed on workout days before they can get stored as body fat.
4 - Higher calories and carbs encourages better recovery from our workouts which helps preserve valuable muscle tissue thus prioritising fat loss over weight loss.
5 - Reducing carb intake on non-workout days can help lower the concentrations of insulin in our bloodstream which encourages the mobilisation of stored body fat for energy.
6 - Protein is the most satiating of macronutrients. By dropping carbs and keeping protein and fat stable we can eat fewer calories without suffering the hunger which derails so many a meal plan.
7 - Higher calorie and carb days can provide a satisfying psychological reward following days of restricted low carb eating. Knowing these refeed days are looming can provide the extra bit of encouragement we need to stick with our plan.
So is carb cycling for everyone? Of course not. It's simply one of many tools we can use to attack our physique and fat loss goals. As with anything it will work more effectively for some than others.

Daryl Horgan quit Deepdale for Hibs to boost his international chances, according to his former manager.
The winger, who penned a three-year deal with the Easter Road side on Saturday morning, made his debut as a second half substitute in the 1-1 draw with St Johnstone a little over 24 hours later.
Horgan is ineligible to face Molde in Thursday's Europa League third qualifying round second leg in Norway, but made a name for himself starring for Dundalk in both the Champions League and Europa League in late 2016.
Following the winger's transfer, Preston boss Alex Neil explained that it was "only fair to let him progress his career".
He added: "Daryl was told if he didn't play enough games he would struggle to get in to the national side.
"That is very important for him and I couldn't promise him the game time he needed. He's a good lad and works hard, he's a top lad.
"It's not as easy to be nice when you're not playing every week but that's his character.
"I don't think he was able to play to his best because of the way we play, and sometimes different styles suit different players. "He will do well [at Hibs]."
Horgan has made four appearances for the Republic of Ireland, debuting against Iceland in March 2017, and playing in friendly matches against Mexico, Turkey and the USA.
His most recent appearance came in a June fixture against the USA, which the Republic of Ireland won 2-1.

Now that the first two episodes have aired, who would you say has becoem your favorite of the four Rescue Bots?
First there's Heatwave, the manly leader of the group. Not very fond of humans (especially his partner Kade), but willing to give them a chance thanks to Cody's persuasion. He doesn't like the idea of being assigned to such menial tasks as search-and-rescue missions, as he'd much rather be out in the field of battle helping Optimus and his fellow Autobots in the conflict against the Decepticons. But, his spark's always in the right place, and he's willing to do what he must to ensure that no one gets left behind on his watch. He may be rough around the edges, but inside that serious exterior beats the spark of an Autobot.
Next up is Chase. Being a police car, it's natural that he's into law enforcement and protecting the innocent. He gets along well with Chief Charlie Burns and is always prepped for a mission. He shows a keen interest in helping others and keeping everyone safe, so long as they abide by the law. He also seems to be the quietest and most soft-spoken of the team, never raising his voice or getting all that angry at others. But then again, he's got sirens on his shoulders to make himself heard. But overall, of the four, Chase is the bot who'd best be described as by-the-book and real team player.
Then there's Blades. Blades was a nervous wreck the moment he scanned his helicopter altmode. Back on Cybertron, he was a ground-based vehicle, and so he had never flown before prior to coming to Earth. It doesn't help that he happens to have a great fear of heights, and that he's partnered with the flying-lover Dani (who's apparently quite rough on his joystick. Heyoooo... ). But, he's learning to adjust. In spite of his fears, however, he is glad to be a part of emergency responses again. He sees this new mission as a chance to become useful and to be a part of something important. He may not be comfortable, but he's willing to do what he must to keep his new home safe (since he and the others were unable to save their own home).
Finally, there is Boulder. The moment he stepped off the ship and set foot on Earth, he was intrigued. Of all the Rescue Bots, he's the one with the most interest in Earth and its culture. He finds human beings most curious creatures, which just enhances his own curiosity about them. He's a little like Animated and Prime Bulkhead, showing an interest in art and beauty, as he was once hesitant to move some plants from a museum during a mission because it would "destroy the harmonious nature of the plaza's design." But he means well and knows when to get serious. Being the biggest bot on the team, he's their muscle man and heavy lifter, being able to take more punishment than the others can. Partnering with Graham will hopefully enable him to learn more about Earth, as well as enable Graham to learn more about Cybertron.
So, that aside, who's you favorite and why?
For me, it's Heatwave. I like how he's such a sharp contrast to what a character in this kind of show would be like. He's pretty much like what Wolverine would act like as the head of a day care center... except if he were a giant robot. He's got such a great personality and seems like he'd fit in better in another show than this one. But, that's what makes him so interesting. He seems like he was meant to be in another show and walked onto the set of this one by mistake. So, it's interesting to see this kind of character being the lead role of this kind of show. And partnering him with this show's answer to Flash Thompson, practically his polar opposite, makes for great storytelling and character development yet to come. So, for me, Heatwave is a winner.

The Key of the Kingdom
I wanted to be like Anne Frank with her imaginary friend, Kitty. But the lock diary was a heavy, plastic, embossed brick of a thing from Woolworths and each day was sectioned off, a small space, because it was a five-year diary. So the things I wrote were small and unelaborated.
I went to Primrose Hill today.
Deirdre came and we had cake.
Deirdre was the masseuse who came to give my mother treatments. Her husband was a political prisoner in South Africa. After the massage treatment she would sit on our living room floor which had under-floor electric heating and eat cake and talk. She always stayed a long time. She said her life was hard, she had two daughters and didn't know when she would see her husband again. She was fat and cheerful as she spoke but she said she just had to take each day at a time and that was how it was to live with a broken heart. I didn't put any of that in my diary – there wouldn't have been room, and even if there had been, would I have set it down? I wanted to be passionate and upbeat like Anne Frank. Even when she was railing against the unfairness of the adults and saying how it was to live hidden away in an attic for so long, she had a voice that sang in full-throated relish of life and all its particulars. A five-year diary with a small space for each day would have been no use to her at all. It allowed no room for the particulars or for reflection.
If I'd had the kind of writing book that existed in my imagination, what might I have written? The key to the kingdom of the articulated inner life was not yet forged. The small diary key did not, in any case, really provide a safe and secret place. It was held shut with a thick band the same colour as the cover. At my boarding school some girls nearly cut it so as to look inside – the temptation to look into secret places is strong. And anyone could have bought an identical diary from Woolworths and used the key to look inside. This happened to a girl I knew, and so her mother found out that she had let a boy put his hand inside her knickers.
I lost the key to my diary and had in any case abandoned it. It lived for a while in the loft of my mother's flat and then I don't know what happened to it. Perhaps it still exists somewhere with the words that were written into it:
I went to Primrose Hill today.
Deirdre came and we had cake.
Daddy sent me a postcard.
I have got a new red beret.

I wanted to write, and was given one of those. Being a rule following child, I stayed within the few lines, only breaking free after several years of crabbed and intermittent writing. By then, the little book was rather messed up, and I lost interest.
This is why I now love blogging.

Hi Zhoen,
I still like the feeling of pen on paper - but the spiral notebook has taken the place of the five-year diary.

Lovely post, Signs!
I had one of those five year dairies as a child - I always thought the space was far too small to write in, so never bothered. However, when as part of a school project, following on the reading of Anne Frank, I was told I had to keep a diary, which would be read by the English teacher, I thought it was a deeply foolish idea and insisted that I be allowed to write my autobiography instead... There's not really a lot to say when you're twelve. I thought it was a pretty cunning move to keep teachers out of my private life!
I still remain deeply suspicous of the idea of keeping a diary or a journal. Um, a blog doesn't really count, does it. Does it...?

Hey Vanilla, yes, I remember those school diaries. Even so, I think Anne Frank would probably have found plenty to say. Truth is I was much better at writing stories than "real" things. Somehow the same constraints didn't seem to apply.

Signs, This is uncanny, only yesterday I was thinking of my old five-year-diary, the one I kept at school, bound in a cheap red plastic cover, & with a tiny wee lock, and a key that bent too easily. I was wishing I still had it, I have no pre-ME recorded thoughts, & I was thinking of the words I used to squeeze into those small sections of page, hardly adequate to record anything really... re. your daughter fainting, it has been so hot & muggy here, I hope she takes care & doesn't over-do it, but I know that is more easily said than done. Btw I was gutted Last Minute didn't get through. They were my favourite from those I saw.

i love it

Kahless, speaking of Son (and yes, it's a pity they got knocked out so soon), he too loved numbers and used to fill up notebooks full of mathematical thingies, quite beyond me as I never even got to grips with long division. But now he keeps a daily journal.
NMJ, what a shame you lost that red book. Come to think of it, I'm suddenly aware that I don't really have any pre-ME recorded thoughts either. What a thought!
Daughter is fine now - she was just overdoing it. Apparently Three Weeks is going to give the show a five-star review - she's over the moon about that.
I feel the same about Last Minute - and know I would even without being the mother of one of them. They were good. I did really enjoy Cry Me a River by Sense of Sound as well.
I love the word ver leprechauns :)

June 12, 2018 -- Orlando, FL -- State Representative Mike Miller, whose district includes the Pulse Nightclub, will hold a fundraiser for his Congressional campaign in Miami on the second anniversary of the Pulse massacre. Republican Mike Miller will seek Florida's 7th Congressional District, challenging Incumbent Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy who Pride Fund helped elect to Congress in 2016.
Pride Fund to End Gun Violence founder and executive director Jason Lindsay issued the following statement:
"Today, all of Orlando is focused on remembering the 49 lives lost two years ago in the Pulse massacre. The loss is real, and the pain still exists. Today should not be a day for politics, but for healing. It's unfortunate that Rep. Mike Miller, who seeks to represent the district in Congress that includes Pulse, would choose not to honor the Pulse victims and survivors, but instead host a fundraiser out of town. At the exact time our entire community will be focused on the hope and promise in the lives that were lost, Mike Miller will be grabbing cash in Miami."
"Today is a solemn day, seen by all as one for reflection. Instead, Mike Miller will be partying in Miami. His priorities clearly are not the priorities of Orlando."

Hi Mami,
Receipes r very nice,have to try on sep19th,i have one doubt mami,can we prepare ellu orudai for ganesha…
|1 Cup Kozhukattai Mavu
|1 Cup Sesame seeds
|0.5 Cup Grated Jaggery
|2 Tablespoon Grated Coconut
|4 Cardamom
|2 Tablespoon Sesame oil
|1 Teaspoon Ghee (Clarified butter)
|5 Cashew
Sesame seeds with jaggery, a yummy filling to fill Kozhukattai!
Sesame seeds kozhukattai(ellu kozhukattai) is a delicious recipe and specially made on the auspicious day of Vinayaka Chaturti(Ganesh Chaturti). This is another traditional dish we do for neivedhyam for Lord Ganesha along with Thengai Purna kozhukattai and Ulundhu kozhukattai. This is so simple to make and tastes yummy. Especially black Sesame Seeds are particularly rich in iron, so they're highly recommended for those with anemia and weakness. So even if you are not doing this dish for neivedhyam, we can make this filling alone and have it if we have anemia or weakness. Black sesame seeds combined with jaggery is a tasty and iron rich filling.
We can also use white or brown variety of Sesame seeds. I have given both the videos below. One video is with Black Sesame Seeds and its detailed video with voice over and other with quicker video and using white sesame seeds. Sesame seeds, on grinding releases oil which will be used to bind with jaggery. Sesame seeds are first soaked for 10 mins and then strained and dry fried till it turns golden brown and then grind it along with jaggery, coconut and cardamom seeds to get a thick mixture.
The variety of jaggery makes a huge difference in the color of the puranam. If you use Pagu Vellam, then you will get a nice dark brown puranam else you will get light brown filling. The color doesn't matter. What matters is the right consistency of filling. Do not grind it for too much time as the jaggery releases water and sesame seeds releases oil and both makes the filling watery. We need a thick mixture so that we can make balls out of the filling
Lets see how to make kozhukattai with this healthy filling!

J had a good day Wednesday! For his woodworking project, he made a chess board. He's really big into chess this year, so I wasn't surprised at all when he told me his plans. D had some blood wood at the shop that J fell in love with as soon as he saw it and thought it would be a perfect dark wood for the board.
He also had 2 foods projects. He did EVERYTHING this year. From picking the recipes to the baking to the picking of the 3 "perfect" cookies. It was nice! =) He did great and made Chocolate Mint Cookies (oh so good and I will be making these around Christmas time!) and Banana Oatmeal Drop Cookies. Both got State Fair blues!
This is J's 3rd year in Rocketry and a project that he declares every year is the last year. Usually as he's sanding out fingerprints/runs for the 1,000th time. He really enjoys it though and I saw a LOT of growth in this area too this year. He did a super job on his fins, which have been his problem area. However, he put all his attention in his fins and the judge also pointed out his launch lugs needed a bit of care too. He did get a purple and state fair blue on his rocket. I think it will be good for him to take his rocket to SF and play with the big dogs. He will get to see pretty fast what he will need to improve on as some of those rockets look like they have factory paint jobs and they use a device to measure the alignment of the fins!!
PHOTOGRAPHY!! This was his first year for this project. I hate it when my kids are in a new one projects. I stresses me. Anyway, he really enjoyed it and I REALLY ENJOYED having him in it. I love taking pictures so it gave he and I some common ground that resulted in some nice conversations. Here are his pics he took.
Seriously..I think I peed my pants a little when D called to tell me this. COULD--NOT--BELIEVE IT!
I wanted to tell everyone the story about this picture. We were at Myrtle Beach Yacht Club getting ready to head out on the boat. J and I were looking at the boats, he was taking different pictures, and he was trying to get the boats and water lined up just right so there were straight lines of boats on both sides with water down the middle. J had a vision in his head and he just could not get the shot he wanted. Anyway, while we were doing this, D is up telling J to come up and see it from where he's standing. We kept rolling our eyes and making fun of him because *we* are the ones that like taking pictures, not him. And that he didn't know what he was doing. hehe Finally J goes up to shut his dad up, snaps a picture, and.....there is it! J learned that sometimes just changing the angle or direction of the shot can make a world of difference. And we will be hearing about this from D until NEXT fair time...and probably even after. ;-)

400+ Sourced quotes
The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.
We thought all the time that we were passing through time when we really weren't, when we never have. We've just been moving along with time. We said, there's another second gone, there's another minute and another hour and another day, when, as a matter of fact the second or the minute or the hour was never gone. It was the same one all the time. It had just moved along and we had moved with it.

Easiest ever half up tutorial... Wedding hair in Augusta GA
Although I do feel like a bit of a "star" in front of my husband's camera, and perhaps I on occasion wear a bit more makeup than is required by a Tuesday morning; there are only a rare few events when we girls get to dress up beyond a certain age. I am privileged to be a part of a church where volunteers are treated like starlets one night each January, and Friday night is the night. Friday night is the "Big Show."
By now, all of us have purchased dresses (or borrowed them from a girlfriend's closet), fitted our dancing shoes, and we are all thinking of how our hair and makeup will compliment our ensembles (and if you weren't, and now you are panicking, you are welcome;). As per tradition, I am bringing a few tutorials to the table, hoping to make the hair and makeup part just a bit simpler.
So here it is, the easiest ever "half up."
1. Before you attempt any formal style, curl/set your hair. Just do it. Curling not only looks nice, but it gets all of the hair cooperating. Spray some setting spray or flexible hairspray on the hair before or after. Do not use anything too hard so that it doesn't break as you are working with it.
I curled mine with this...
The one I have goes from a half-inch to an inch in diameter. The result is a very separated curl, which gives it a very natural spiral look. I ALWAYS brush through mine, as I don't like that separation. I will even gently backcomb two curls together, as spirals can seem a bit dated (unless truly natural).
I curled my hair back, and worked in larger sections in the front (larger sections+looser curl).
Starting right behind the fringe line, pull all of the hair back and away from the face. If you don't have bangs, you can pull all of your hair back, or just part the fringe area over and pull everything behind it back. Backcomb or tease your crown area for extra volume. I should have ;).
Pull the two bits of hair around, and tie them in the back with a double knot. Pin the knot in place with two bobby pins in an "x" overlapping each other. Be careful to hide the pins in your curls.
And there you have it! Spray the heck out of the top of your head, but leave your remaining curls moderately touchable. There are nothing worse than stiff curls!
Stay tuned this week as I show different methods of curling, some makeup tricks, and a few quick updos! So excited!

Preparing for a Tournament Weekend/
By: Malia Jelneck
Tournaments: one of the most exciting weekends in a young soccer player's life. For young players like myself, tournaments are exciting, but they are not all fun and games. There are many stages of preparation that we go through to get our mind and body ready for the tournament: endurance drills, sprints, and teamwork drills are just a couple of things my team does to prepare. Many of the coaches in our league will just do typical tournament rules such as no sleep-overs, early bedtimes, and absolutely no heavy meals before games. Other coaches go above and beyond.
One particular tournament rule my coach has is a strict tournament diet. Typical tournament diet restricts us from having sweets or sodas, heavy meals, or fried foods. Tournament meals typically consist mainly of carbs, which many people call "carb-loading." These carbs will give you the much needed boost of energy during games. Another great food source that our coach encourages us to eat is fruits and vegetables. They make for a great snacking alternative instead of chips, candy, or other unhealthy options. We are also encouraged to drink a lot of water. When I say a lot, I mean a lot. Our bodies have to stay hydrated during a game, and when we are under the hot Florida sun, hydration is key to performing well in tournaments.
During tournaments, our coach has a strict bedtime so that we are well rested. For our team, the normal tournament bedtime is 9:00 pm sharp. If you are not in bed by 9:00 pm, then the next morning you will be tired and sluggish. Trust me, the coaches know who gets to bed at 9:00 pm and who doesn't. Of course, keeping sharp on your skills is important, and our coaches give us drills and skill moves to practice at home before the big weekend. This helps prepare us to make a move around a player, make a good pass, or shoot on goal. One thing I am grateful for is that our coach doesn't give us too much to do; he wants us to stay sharp and not tire out too quickly so that we can perform well for the tournament.
Our coach practices combinations and teamwork drills with the team. He assigns several drills to make sure each player is mentally in the game, and they are not just kicking the ball in random directions. Many drills that we do such as possession drills, passing drills, and combination drills ensure the player is thinking during the game. Without each player thinking through their passes, the team would lose possession as soon as they gain it. In tournaments, the mind is just as important as the skill.
Our coach makes us dress up as a team, and stay off our feet in between games. When my team arrives to a game, we have about 45-60 minutes to prepare for the game ahead. We always show up in our practice jerseys and slip-on shoes with no shin guards or cleats. Once we arrive at the game, we put on cleats and shin guards. After practicing for a while before the game, we change our practice jerseys to our game jerseys. After a game, what should you do? Go in the pool? Wrong. We are told to keep our feet up and to stay well rested in between games. Our coach doesn't want us any more sore than we have to be. As additional precaution, we are also required to stay inside and out of the scorching sun. Staying in the sun for an extended amount of time makes players sluggish, and slow players will be taken out of the game.
In summary, tournament preparation consists of:
- Keep a strict tournament diet
- Stay hydrated
- Get to bed early
- Practice drills and skills leading up to your tournament weekend
- Stay off your feet in between games
- Show up to the games early
- At night, don't go swimming or participate in any strenuous activity
- Stay out of the sun
Coaches that go above and beyond are the ones that win tournaments. They inspire us to be the best we can be, and of course, they inspire us to win. After preparing for 4-5 days, you don't want all of that preparation to be for nothing. The players aren't the only heroes if the team wins. The coach is the real superstar in a team that is prepared for a tournament.

A few miles outside of Ica in southwest Peru lies the tiny oasis town of Huacachina. While the town once attracted many rich visitors wishing to bathe in the supposedly medicinal waters of the oasis, now it is home to little more than a few palm trees and some restaurants lying lazily on the banks of the lagoon.
Still, the town is very easily accessible by bus if you are near Ica, and for a very inexpensive and exhilarating day trip, visitors can take part in Huacachina's main draw – some of the finest extreme sports in Peru.
Sandboarding is one of the main attractions that the town has to offer, and is well suited for the braver and more athletically-inclined among us. For those not so willing to attempt a vertical descent down a three-hundred foot sand dune, there is always the option to lay belly down and go "sand-sledding."
Or, if you are feeling a little lazier (but just as brave,) try strapping on your seatbelt and trusting the skill of your Peruvian driver as you plummet down the monstrous dunes with nothing but the wind and the roar of a dune buggy in your ear.

"He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken" – Psalm 34:20
From John 19:28-37
"After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst."
"Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put [it] upon hyssop, and put [it] to his mouth."
"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
"The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies
should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath
day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken,
and [that] they might be taken away."
"Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him."
"But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."
"And he that saw [it] bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe."
"For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken."
The Book of Psalms (Hebrew: תְּהִלִּים or תהילים; Tehillim; lit. "Praises"), commonly referred to simply as Psalms, is the first book of the "Writings", the third section of the Hebrew Bible.[1]
The composition of the psalms spans at least five centuries, from Psalm 29, which is adapted from early Canaanite worship, to others which are clearly from the post-Exilic period. The majority originated in the southern kingdom of Judah and were associated with the Temple in Jerusalem, where they probably functioned as libretto during the Temple worship.[2]

It's been a while since I've talked about my love of clothes from the future, but I've found a whole bunch this week, friends! Plus, clothes I've mentally categorized as "just adorable", as well as loads of larger sizes!
Let's start with the adorable, because how could I NOT start with this charming Cinder + Smoke dress?! (Designed and made by local Janna Stewart, who you can find at the 104 Market on Saturdays!)
So last week I was surprisingly excited about that great two-piece by Club Monaco, and then this week I find this darling dress with the same playful vibe! Unexpectedly (and somewhat mysteriously), this dress is silk and wool!
From one of my own personal favourite brands: Yumi!
At first glance, these shoes could seem unremarkable, but check out the two tone contrast of the leather and suede, and look at that little "collar" at the ankle. Lots of great details that don't overwhelm on an all around timeless shoe.
So seriously friends, I've mentioned before that I love clothes that are somehow other-wordly and seem to be from the future, both elegant and unique. When I saw this top/dress(?), I actually had to ask some friends (strangers!) that were in Red Pony how a person from 2017 should wear this? My new friends suggested skinny jeans or dressy shorts (love it!).
I think also possibly leather pants...and a laser gun.
This tunic is so simple and elegant, yet has the great shoulder-cape element that makes you look twice:
Spacey, Italian sandal-booties (from futuristic-sounding brand Strategia):
Check out the great laser cuts in the leather! (Ha! See what I did there? "Laser"? Future? Haha)
This wooly tunic's pockets are lined up so geometrically perfect that they look like they are drawn on!
Friends, I own this exact same shirt from Anthropologie! (I'm even wearing it right now!). Come get this one and we can be twins!
Earrings from new-to-me local jewelry designer Joslyn McDonald at R Studio. Don't you think those beaded earrings look like angle wings? So lovely!
Thanks to the magical and mysterious ebb and flow of the Red Pony turn over, we have tonnes of great stuff in larger sizes in the shop right now! This Calvin Klein dress is understated with its simple shape, boat neck and 3/4 length sleeves, but also stunning and glamorous with its over-all, unapologetic silver lace!
This one might be the most perfect dress ever! Heavy material, thick straps for your mom-bra, timeless and playful shape...well played, Banana Republic, well played.
Great, wear-anywhere drindl dress:
These nude, pointed-toe shoes are flats!
Important note: I'm going out of town for a few days (to Saskatoon! I know, I'm super excited too!). The modified hours for this Canada Day weekend are 11-5 on Saturday -which is also Red Pony's birthday!- and we will be CLOSED on Sunday (sorry!). Sadly, no blog next Wednesday (sorry! sorry!), but here's what is waiting in the back room right now, so come down to the shop and check these out for me while I'm away!
The blue thing with red birds-on-a-wire is actually a dress!
Long-sleeved something with owls:
Little bows!
A sailboat cardigan!?!!!!
I'm super dysfunctional at taking selfies (how does everyone else do it?!), but I really am wearing the same bird shirt today!

White Papers
Transcending the Hype: a Transformative IoT Emerges
Ghost writer for "Transcending the Hype: A Transformative IoT Emerges" in Cognizanti Journal (Volume 8, Issue 1 - 2015), in which I articulate Cognizant's point-of-view on the Internet of Things. Despite the hype, our observation is that the Internet of Things is finally taking shape at companies across industries. Initial pilots offer a glimpse of how a tightly interconnected physical and digital world can drive breakthroughs in customer experience, worker productivity, and entirely new product models that radically alter competition.
Analyst Sponsored White Paper:
I worked with an IDC Analyst to create a sponsored piece of thought leadership for the manufacturing sector, entitled "Transforming Manufacturing with the Internet of Things". Part of my job as a product marketer is to drive influencer preference for Cognizant, and one meaningful way to bring a new perspective to market is to leverage the research of analyst firms. Working with analysts to get candid feedback on positioning and messaging, or as colleagues on a perspective can be a strong differentiator in building awareness and generating interest. In this case I provided the outline of the narrative and worked with the analyst on several drafts until the finished piece.
From Strategy to Action, Driving IoT to Industrial Scale
Ghost writer for Cognizant point-of-view on the evolution of IoT in Cognizanti Journal (Volume 9, Issue 1 - 2016) , and how companies can get beyond instrumentation and take action to build IoT solutions that scale. To get past pilots and proof-of-concepts, companies needs to build IoT at scale to realize the true business value of smart, connected products, processes, and places. We outline specific strategies to overcome challenges to IoT scale.

A Frozen World
Everyone certainly knows about the blockbuster Disney animation film "Frozen" and its plot. Though we realize, rather humbly indeed, that we will never come anywhere close to Chris Buck's eloquence in personifying fictional fantasy, we nonetheless were able to connect the quaint dots of what was one of the most popular movies of 2013 & 2014, and that of the biggest stories of the global economy.
We liken Elsa to global oil prices; once the innocent commodity everyone vied for has now become the harbinger of disinflation and deflation, causing great pain and blowing a bone-chilling deflationary wind across much of the world. Anna (Elsa's beloved sister), which we liken to central banks, embarks on a journey of wanderlust and real purpose to try to rescue her dearest sister who has uncontrollably morphed into an Ice Daemon.
Once in the bliss of a dearest sisterhood with Elsa - like central banks were to elevated asset prices, Anna now frantically embarks on an unprecedented journey of uncertainties to save Arendelle from an eternal ice age - like central bankers are now embarking on extraordinary monetary programs to reverse the unintended consequence of their previous misdeeds.
Will Anna ever be able to save Arendelle from slipping into the ice age she has so dreaded? Can Elsa ever be stopped in her tracks and brought back to the warmth of her normalcy? Who will be the white knight in shiny armor in our present episode of pseudo make-believe?
We leave the this to the creative minds of our readers to figure out. Laughingly, as we type, the similarities between Frozen and the current wave of global deflation emerge, thawing the icicles that separate fiction from reality. Have fun!
Europe's Worst Deflation
Just last week, the ECB ephemerally placated global financial markets by unleashing a €60bn/month (totaling €1.1trn till September 2016) QE program which was unthinkable just a few months ago. We have painstakingly documented the ECB's QE program, fancifully dubbed the Expanded Asset Purchase Program (EAPP). Specifically, we said what ECB president Mario Draghi really meant was the ECB wasn't going to end the €60bn/month on the stipulated September 2016 date. Many refuse to believe this, but today's deflationary vortex should serve as the final nail in Europe's cryogenic coffin.
Rather, as we highlighted, EAPP was actually an opened-ended debt monetization facility that would not be terminated until Eurozone inflation hits the mandated 2%. The Governing Council was very clear on its language, that the EAPP was designed to ease monetary and financial conditions with the ultimate goal of bringing broad inflation back to the magical 2%.
We, along with a few others, have been pounding the table asking "what will the ECB's latest round of QE do for the real economy?". Our two-worded answer: Absolutely nothing.
2015's Easiest Trade? Shorting The Euro
What it will do for the financial markets though, is nothing short of Nirvana for traders and investors alike. We strongly believe that the easiest trade of 2015 would be nothing more than shorting the Euro. For the record, we have been handsomely rewarded thus far, and expect more so as central bankers all around the world embark on yet another voyage into the twilight zone of Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIRP). Gone are the days of Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP). Welcome to 2015, ladies and gentlemen.
We are afraid to inform Draghi and his henchmen that they are now 2.6% shy of their goal. This deficit was a "mere" 2.2% last week when the official Eurozone December inflation (more accurately deflation) was -0.2%. With market-based measures of inflation expectations (inflation breakevens) erasing all post ECB QE gains, the market is totally not buying the central bank's omnipotence in triggering an improvement; even if it meant acting outside the ECB's prescribed mandate by monetizing Sovereign bonds, much to the chagrin of German politicians.
Earlier today, Eurostat reported that Eurozone inflation for January chilled further by coming in at a staggering -0.6%, a -0.1% miss to the -0.5% expectation. This 0.6% deflation is the worst in recorded history since the single currency block was created in 2001. In short, Europe is in uncharted territory.
With every central bank scrambling to export deflation, and with the Saudis doing everything in their power to definancialize crude as an investment asset and destroy the US shale patch, it is probably no surprise that the ECB is utterly hopeless to prevent Europe from sliding into an all out deflationary contraction. Just a week or two into the ECB's largest ever monetary Bazooka, Europe is already loosing the war against slumping energy prices and rapidly decelerating economic activity, in rather embarrassing fashion.
So far: Deflation 1 - ECB 0. And it isn't even halftime yet...
The WSJ chimes in on what is undisputedly any central banker's worst nightmare:
Is it just us, or can the world just not get enough of the magical story of Frozen? We certainly love Elsa and her dainty embellishments, supernatural powers, and endearing innocence. Until of course frostbite spreads lengthwise, as we blindly embrace the Princess just as her gnarly inborn demeanor manifests in most terrifying ways.

Dundas Valley Conservation Area
6 degrees C and Sunny
With nature photography, for every day filled with success there is one teeming with failure. This past Friday given the sunny conditions (finally here in Ontario) I decided to take the day off to try to find some unique birds with the specific goal of capturing an Eastern Blue Bird. I know these little guys tend to be fairly common during the winter in other places, however where I live there are none to be found once the temperatures drop. They do however live in the northern most edge of the Carolina Forest which just so happens to be in Dundas Ontario a 45 minute drive south from where I live.
For those who have not been to Dundas Valley, it is truly a beautiful conservation area, particularly in the fall and winter where streams wind through the valleys carved out by thousands of years of ice sheet melt. These streams are but lazy remnants of the torrents of water that originally shaped the landscape and as a result provide unique habitat to a wide variety of birds, reptiles, etc. in the valley. Beyond the Blue Birds which are found in a clearing entitled "Merrick Orchard" the forest is filled with Brown Creepers, Chicladees, Carolina Wrens, etc. Winter birding in Dundas valley reveals a plethora of bird species that are difficult to find more north. Therefore I decided to invest the morning into the visit knowing that there is a always a chance that I won't be able to spot and photograph these little balls of blue.
Arriving in the conservation area early in the morning revealed a beautiful landscape. Still frozen from the night's frost and the dusting of snow from the day before, this winter wonderland was quickly giving way to the warmth of the sunlight that began to flood through the branches. I quickly unloaded my gear, a massive but sharp Sigma 500MM F4 & D500, along with my 130 pound Berner and quickly hit the trails.
The scenic little orchard is a distant remnant of an earlier farming settlement that occurred long before my visit. It has long been abandoned with a few remaining apple trees dotting a shrubbery field loaded with berries and other foods required to sustain a wide variety of House Finches, Northern Cardinals, Juncos, etc. When I first arrived the area was absolutely silent, although I could not see my facial expression, I'm sure it was one of slight disappointment, so instead of setting up beside one of the slumbering trees I decided to try walking up and down a path hemmed in on both sides with a variety of berries. There I found a very pleasant House Finch before my dog (too excitedly still) pulled me ahead and startled the flock into the deeper recesses of the bushes.
Shortly afterwards however I quickly overheard a familiar call. The weather was warming, the frost melting revealing a ground ready to be scavenged for worms and other grubs. I quickly took my setup down the hill and noticed a small flock of Bluebirds accompanied by another mixed group of house finches and pine siskin. After failing to get close enough for a half decent shot I decided to use a small abandoned farm house as a blind, and managed to get the closest I've ever been to one of these magnificent little critters. However disappointingly, due to the branch and the position of the sun, the bird was in shade and direct light, creating a very challenging photograph. Unfortunately although the D500 is fantastic when it comes to auto focus, it's sensor does not match the dynamic range of the A7r II, and I find especially in tougher conditions. Editing the dark areas reveals "grey" no real feather detail and any additional processing destroys the image quality overall. Therefore I tried to shoot a few more poses as the birds were perched and flying away but was never able to get close enough to reveal the true beauty of these birds. Finally a group of hikers with off leash dogs came running by and seeing my pooch tied up to a pole, decided to spook the birds that promptly flew away. That is a constant challenge in these kinds of conservation areas, off leash dogs are a pain in the ass, please keep your dog on leash or take them to a dog park.
So I ended the morning in failure, I did not get the shot I had imagined (a Bluebird perched with a golden background) to the level of detail I was hoping for but managed to improve on my previous shots. Not every adventure leads to success or failure, but even though I failed to grab a five star image, I still enjoyed the beauty of the scenery and would highly recommend the area to anyone.

When two estranged sisters reunite for their parents' fiftieth anniversary, a family tragedy brings unexpected lessons of hope and healing amid the flowers of their mother's perennial garden.Eva-known to all as Lovey-grew up in Oxford, Mississippi, surrounded by literary history and her mother's stunning perennial gardens. But a garden shed fire and the burns suffered by one of her best friends seemed to change everything. Her older sister Bitsy blamed her for the fire-and no one spoke up on her behalf. Bitsy the cheerleader, Bitsy the homecoming queen, Bitsy married to a wealthy investor. And all the while, Lovey blamed for everything that goes wrong.At eighteen, Lovey turns down a marriage proposal, flees from Oxford and the expectations of attending Ole Miss, and instead goes to Arizona-the farthest thing from the South she can imagine. She becomes a successful advertising executive, a weekend yoga instructor, and seems to have it all together. But she's alone. And on her forty-fifth birthday, she can't help but wonder what's wrong.When she gets a call from her father-still known to everyone as Chief from his Ole Miss football days-insisting that she come home three weeks early for her parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration, she's at wit's end. She's about to close the biggest contract of her career, the one that will secure her financial goals and set her up for retirement. But his words, "family first," hit too close to home. Is there hope for her estranged relationship with Bitsy after all this time?Eva's journey home, to the memory garden her father has planned as an anniversary surprise for her mother, becomes one of discovering roots, and truth, and love, and what living perennially in spite of disappointments and tragedy really means. Eva thought she wanted to leave her family and the South far behind ... but she's realizing she hasn't truly been herself the whole time she's been gone.

Next? Heard it frequently, but not exclusively, from African-Americans as slang for their buddies, their "crew." As if Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James don't know that.
Then the expression mostly dried up, until last week when Phil Jackson was found to have used it as per James & Co.
Didn't strike me as ill-intended, certainly not racist, but rather as a reach for a hip expression that a few years back had the hipness drained from it.
Smith likes what he has seen of his protégé, but pointed out the challenges he'll face having not played in a game since preseason.
"On the mental side, he's obviously watching and mentally observing and [taking] mental reps and things like that," Smith said. "But throughout the week, limited [practice] reps. So he hasn't been in live bullets since camp. [Regular-season] practices aren't like that. So in that sense, it's been a while.''
In the scouting world, the importance of fit within a scheme is rarely discussed, but it is critical to the evaluation. Astute coaches and scouts understand that it's not just about assessing a prospect's talent, but understanding how to feature the player in a way that highlights his strengths and minimizes his weaknesses.
It made for a hectic weekend, but things seemed to go relatively smoothly. Coaches had more players available for the final round of preseason games and those bottom-of-the-roster players had one final chance to impress. It's doubtful that changed much, if anything, about the composition of the season-opening rosters, but this new roster-cutting formula seems likely to be retained going forward.
Jets and McCown… The Jets' handling of McCown during the preseason was a bit baffling. McCown played in only two of the four preseason games and attempted a total of 12 passes. This is with a new team, remember. So he's had very little work under game-like conditions to familiarize himself with his new offense and teammates, and now the regular season arrives. At least expectations are about as low as possible.
The league could lose two of its biggest stars this offseason if Peyton Manning and Calvin Johnson call it quits.

Investing In Your Business To Create More Revenue
Investing In Your Business To Create More Revenue
A Word with Scott Rosenberg, Managing Director of RE/MAX Results Commercial | RCRE. Found online at www.rcre.co
By: Karen S. Kahen
I recently sat down with Scott Rosenberg to discuss the benefits of "investing in your business."
1. What are some examples of ways that agents can invest money into their business as a real estate agent?
There are a number of ways, but the first and most primary way of investing in your business is by creating a media plan. This allows you to communicate the properties that you have listed and the brand that you are trying to build.
2. When is the right time to start?
The time to start investing in your business is on your first day. The most important document is your direct business statement. This is one of two sentences that explains what you do and how you add value to your clients. This can be followed by a paragraph or two explaining in more detail your purpose, vision and differentiates from the competition. I.e. explain why you are the right choice for the clients you are targeting.
This information can be placed on your blogs, website, print media and listing presentations. There is a lot one can do with this information, but it requires a significant amount of time to produce professional quality literature.
3. Is there a risk involved?
When you get to the expense of putting out marketing material in a trade publication, or direct mail, there is always a risk that you will spend money and not see an immediate return on the dollars spent. There is a greater risk if you are not consistent, and do not follow up the advertising with more advertising. A big part of investing in your business is seeing it through, and recognizing that there is a long-term dividend to creating a brand about yourself and a market presence.
4. How efficient are the dollars invested?
It depends on where the dollars are spent. In my own personal business, I can share that the direct marketing component of my business, a call and response type of advertising, has always generated a positive return. But, it took a year or two of marketing before it started to actually pan out in a measurable way.
5. In your February 15th blog, you briefly mentioned the ways in which technology has changed the way you conduct business. Do you see a way for agents to invest money into social media marketing?
Yes! From my perspective, social media marketing has an impact on real estate, in that it connects your business activities to a larger pool of candidates that you are trying to express your brand to. In the short run, I am not aware of how the investment of time and energy translates into dollars today. In the long-term, it ties into public relations and branding. My business has picked up a lot of referral activity, because it is believed that I am a go-to person. It is difficult to quantify how that happens, but when they see your LinkedIn profile, receive your emails, post-cards and a call from you every once in a while, you are reaffirming that your client is making a good choice.

I also have a blog where I post a daily quote that's relavent in some way to BDSM, even if the connection is tangential or philosophical.
Here's an example of the kind of thing you might find there . . .
Most people find it difficult to grasp that whatever they like to do sexually will be thoroughly repulsive to someone else, and that whatever repels them sexually will be the most treasured delight of someone, somewhere. One need not like or perform a particular sex act in order to recognize that someone else will, and that this difference does not indicate a lack of good taste, mental health, or intelligence in either party. Most people mistake their sexual preferences for a universal system that will or should work for everyone.
