Share your favorite posts, meet other bloggers, gather new readers and discover great content and websites at the Homestead Blog Hop!
Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!
You might remember me mentioning last week that during the month of January I'll be participating in a Self-Reliance Challenge. I'll be part of a group of other great bloggers who will be writing about self-reliance topics such as gardening, foraging, food preservation, saving money, preparing for emergencies, and so much more. I hope you'll find some things that interest or help you, and maybe you'll even work on your own self-reliance goals along with me! My self-reliance posts will be published every Monday and Thursday this month.
To that end, I started off the week writing about keeping yourself warm during the winter without spending a lot of money on furnace fuel or electricity. There are some great tips in that article, so make sure to check it out!
And, finally, now that it's January it's also time for our monthly garden chores! Like December before it, January is more of a month for planning than planting. Toward the end of the month though, you can start sowing lettuce, onion and leek seeds and some brassicas, indoors and under lights. Check out what other January gardening chores you should be doing!
Now on to the hop…
Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to's, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.

Estimates by the European Commission indicate that public authorities within the European Union typically purchase goods and services corresponding to approximately 16 percent of GDP per annum. Hence, it is believed, private firms can be stimulated to invest in less polluting production technologies if the market power of public bodies is exerted through Green Public Procurement (GPP) policies and legislation. It is commonly argued that there are considerable possibilities for cost-effective GPP. The aim of this paper is to scrutinize this argument by specifically answer the question whether GPP can work as a cost-effective environmental policy instrument in terms of leading firms to reducing emissions at least cost to society. Our main finding shows that this is not the case.

Social network marketing is a powerful tool for companies to reach potential customers. Customers interact with companies through social media, and your presence on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest is an advantage.
Social network presence contributes to the success of your business by increasing brand awareness, attracting potential customers, increasing traffic on the site, or improving communication and interaction with the target audience of the product or service you offer.
In setting up your marketing plan for your business, it is important to set goals and ways of communicating across social networks. Each platform has distinct features and can help your business in different ways. That's why choosing the platform you want to communicate with and how you communicate is very important. For example, business-to-business companies can benefit from significant benefits from Linkedin, Facebook, or Twitter, while e-commerce, travel agencies, catering firms, or any visual activity object benefit more from marketing on Instagram, Pinterest or Youtube. The Evolution360.com is such a platform that makes the whole process easier.
Advantages of marketing in social networks
Each social media platform has its advantages and requires different approaches tailored to the specifics of the company's business, to the users to which the company addresses and to the environment of each platform:
Marketing on Facebook
Facebook is the place where people relax, communicate with friends, or get recommendations from their favorite pages. So, you can start by creating a Fan Page with posts relevant to your business, written in a friendly tone, accompanied by images, videos, hashtags, or links to the site. Fan Page can be personalized by business needs by adding a company description, site link, contact data, location map, online store, eventsand contests.
Marketing on Linkedin
Linkedin is a social media platform for business. By registering on Linkedin, you can create a company profile that can be used similarly to the Facebook page by creating a product and service promotion area where you can interact with customers and be recommended by them. Customers' recommendations make your business look more credible and more secure for new customers.
Through LinkedIn Groups you can enter into a professional dialogue with people in similar industries and you can share content.
In addition, Linkedin is ideal for job posting and recruitment.
Marketing on Twitter
Twitter allows companies to promote their products or services through tweets limited to 140 characters that will appear in the information flow of those who follow the company. These messages can contain text, hashtags, images, videos, links to the product / service site, and other social media profiles.
Twitter can be used by companies to announce special offers, discounts, news, to answer questions or to assist customers. Some companies offer twitter support at any time and respond promptly to interested people.
Other platforms
You have a variety of other platforms that you can be present to promote your business: Yelp (online business profiles index that can be found by location-based users, coupled with customer score), YouTube (for content video, Pinterest , Google+ (similar to Facebook features, can be integrated with other Google products, such as Google Maps, Google Adwords, or Google custom searches), Instagram (for creating attractive panes with news or offers of products and services) (sharing pictures and short messages).

Job-Hunting In Malaysia? Here Are 7 Tips To Enhance Your LinkedIn Profile
Do you ever find yourself creeping on someone's Instagram or Facebook profile to find out what are they're currently up to (#relatable)? That's because we're currently living in a time where we are heavily dependent on the Internet and social media platforms, to get the latest deets on what's happening.
When it comes to the working world, that's where LinkedIn comes into play. LinkedIn is a place where you get an insight of what's happening in the corporate world, who's working where, and the latest job notices.
Setting up a LinkedIn page is just as important as putting up a Facebook profile — but in a professional manner. Even if you're studying, it is still important to get yourself a LinkedIn account, so job searching is easier once you're done with your studies.
Although it is a necessity to have your own LinkedIn page, it is simply just not enough. You have to make sure that it's always updated with what you're currently up to, along with your accomplishments all while ensuring that it's well-presented all the time.
But do you think that you have provided enough information needed for your current LinkedIn page? Yes, you have typed out all your past work experiences, achievements and education background — that's great! However, are they sufficient enough to make you stand out to job recruiters or future employers?
Well, here are seven ways on how you can improve your LinkedIn profile and make your future shine brighter than, well, a diamond.
linkedin profile Tip 1: think of an eye-catching headline
Just like meeting someone new, first impressions matter the most! Your headline would be the very first thing that people would see when they visit your profile — so snag that chance to stand out from the crowd!
You can do better than the usual "Content Manager at XYZ Corp." headline. Take advantage of the 120 characters available for a compelling headline. Instead, you should give some extra information like "Content Manager at XYZ Corp. with expertise in financial blogging, content strategy, SEO and social media".

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The recent weakening of Brazil's real against the dollar has not spurred inflation, Brazilian central bank governor Roberto Campos Neto said on Friday, adding that there was room for a cut in the country's benchmark Selic interest rate.
At a news conference in Washington, where he attended events at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) annual meetings, Campos Neto noted Brazil has a floating exchange rate and that the bank only intervenes in currency markets when there is a liquidity gap in the market.
Brazil's central bank cut its benchmark interest rate to a new record low of 5.50% last month and suggested more rate cuts are in the pipeline, highlighting an increasingly uncertain global outlook and tame domestic inflation.
While Brazil's real is trading at around 4 per greenback BRBY, weak economic growth, high unemployment and substantial slack in the economy suggest inflation will remain below target this year and next, analysts say, requiring more easing.
Former trader Campos Neto also said on Friday that Brazil's growing credibility has helped limit the pass-through from the real's depreciation, adding that Brazil's risk premium had fallen despite the weakened exchange rate.

Meet Sue Nelson, The Yorkshire Food Finder
Welcome to our new Yorkshire food and drink scene blog! Each month we are going to take a look at someone of great influence, and of whom we love their work! Expect a Q&A session and some inside information and a guest recipe!
To kick this off to an amazing start, our guest interviewee this month is Sue Nelson, founder of Yorkshire Food Finder. This amazing venture is all about celebrating the finest food and drink England's largest county has to offer, and they do this by offering guided gourmet food trails, a pop up supper club, private dining, the list goes on!
Settle down and enjoy the read! Ensure a snack is handy – this is going to make you hungry!
Did you have a foodie background, and what shaped your career in food?
Career number 1 was as a journalist, my last job being news editor of the (then) Yorkshire Evening Press in York where I supervised a team of 58 reporters and oversaw news content for 7 editions a day. That was in the days when newspapers were proper newspapers…
Career number 2 was when I then became a poacher turned gamekeeper, joining the railway as a press officer, moving up the ranks to become the regional corporate affairs manager covering an area from the Scottish border to London. I was on the railway during an awful period when there was a spate of multi-fatality rail accidents and by default ended up being the industry's link to bereaved and injured families. It was pretty stressful (though nothing compared to what the families were going through) and I used to wind down and chill out by cooking. I've always cooked but this became a bit more intense, for example, doing ready, steady, cook nights for colleagues who would bring all manner of food for me to concoct into dishes for their supper!
In 2006 I was made redundant from the railway and tinkered about doing a bit of consulting for a while before Yorkshire Food Finder was born. That happened in a traffic jam on the A1. We'd been to see husband Aidan's mum in Suffolk and had visited a smokehouse where the tour was very desultory and they didn't make the best of the considerable quality they had to offer. As we fumed on the A1, we reckoned we could do better than that, and that as far as we knew there was nothing like it in Yorkshire. The rest, as they say, is history and that became career number 3!
Top five ingredients you couldn't live without!
Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil - honestly! I don't use any other oil. I love its colour, taste and versatility and bang on about it to anyone who will listen.
Any cheese from Yorkshire - there are more than 100 different varieties made in the county covering all cheese types and styles. The county is a real microcosm of any type of cheese you can get anywhere.
You can't beat a good free range egg from happy chickens. We get ours from Charlotte at Bert's Barrow near Monk Fryston - you can see her hens roaming around whenever you visit. And it's the perfect food too. When my son went to university I taught him how to make a proper omelette. If you can do that, I told, him you'll never starve.
Sand Hutton Asparagus in season. I love it especially because, unlike some other English growers, the Morritts' grow their asparagus entirely in tune with the weather. They never force it under glass or polytunnels, as that can detrimentally affect the taste and texture, and if the weather's awful so making it late, all the more reason to use as much of it while you can. The English asparagus season runs from April until June so is a very special time of year. The imported stuff you can get year round just doesn't cut it.
Chicken, beef or veal stock. I could make my own but why should I when I can get top-notch quality stocks made by Mitch and Jack at TRUEfoods near Ripon? They are so, so good that TRUEfoods are supplying chefs around the world who between them hold some 70 Michelin stars. That's some accolade.
Most used recipe book – the one with the dog eared pages and chef scribblings! We know amassing them is hugely important to you, but just one!
It has to be Black Pudding & Foie Gras by Andrew Pern, the Michelin-stared chef who runs The Star Inn at Harome, near Helmsley. Having eaten there on a regular basis for almost as long as Andrew's had the place, there are many favourite dishes featured in the book, which has been a constant source of inspiration to me for its 'Yorkshireness' and emphasis on the food available on your doorstep.
Signature Yorkshire dish (yep, just one!)
A version of a smoked haddock mornay I do, using fish from Staal Smokehouse near Beverley (Justin's smoked products are amazing), Yorkshire Blue cheese from Shepherds Purse Creamery near Thirsk as a key element of the crumb topping, and herbs from Alison Dodd at Herbs Unlimited, also near Thirsk. There's also Longley Farm cream in there too from Holmfirth, and yes, Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil!
Guilty pleasure!
My cookery book collection. It started with one that somehow never got returned to school in the days when we had domestic science classes, and has now grown to more than 1,500 from around the world. And yes, I do read them, often turning to them for ideas and inspiration. One of the most precious though is my grandmother-in-law's notebook containing handwritten recipes from the early 1900s, which clearly show that the principles of cooking are the same today as they've always been.
Food hero to many, who is yours?
It has to be Andrew Pern. He was doing seasonal and local before it ever became 'the thing' but that's not the only reason why. When we had our lightbulb moment in that traffic jam on the A1, we tentatively approached Andrew to ask him what he thought about our idea to set up guided gourmet food trails around Yorkshire's artisan producers and his response was to hand us his phone with all his foodie contacts in it and tell us to get cracking. He's also let me work as one of the brigade in his kitchen to get a real feel for how to use Yorkshire's food produce, and he's as supportive today about the Yorkshire Food Finder ethos as he was in the beginning.
Next food trend? Whether its welcomed or not!
We're seeing some high street food chains in decline and a rise in individual eating places that focus on locally sourced 'nose to tail, root to shoot' dining in a relaxed informal atmosphere. Five years ago, York was a food culture desert with a plethora of chain restaurants to satisfy tourists, but now look! The city has become a real food hub showcasing quality local ingredients, and I think that will continue, particularly among those who want to fend off the import of the likes of hormone-injected meat post-Brexit. So, I would hope to see a much more intense focus on British produce because we do it so well. And on the drink front, I think we're being drowned in gin! The gin bubble will burst sometime soon and the next locally made drink of choice will be vodka - simply because there are so many distilleries that now exist, so it will be a relatively easy transition.
Yorkshire summer garden salad with Justin Staal's hot smoked trout, saffron aioli and lavender dressing
Serves: 4 as a main course or 6 as a starter
200g podded peas (400g in their pods)
150g podded broad beans (600g in their pods)
3 ripe plum tomatoes, deseeded and diced
Big bundle of mint, finely chopped
3 shallots
3 tbsp lavender pickle (see below)
3 tbsp extra virgin Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil
For the aioli
Large pinch of saffron
1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 tbsp Yorkshire Mayonnaise
For the lavender pickle*
500ml cold water
250ml cider vinegar
1½ tbsp coarse sea salt
120g caster sugar
6 garlic cloves
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp dried lavender or 2 sprigs fresh lavender
2 packs Justin Staal's hot smoked trout
Lavender flowers to garnish
- First make the aioli. Soak the saffron in the tablespoon of lemon juice then combine with the minced garlic and mayonnaise. Set aside for later.
- To make the lavender pickle, put all the ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan, bring to the boil to dissolve the salt and sugar, remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Double pod the broad beans – push the beans out of their pods and place in a bowl. Pour over boiling water and leave to stand for a couple of minutes then refresh in cold water. Split the grey skin with a finger nail or sharp knife and push out the green bean kernel.
- Put the prepared broad beans in a pan of boiling water and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the peas and cook for a further minute. Refresh in cold water and allow to cool.
- Finely slice the shallots and mix with the lavender pickle. Stand for 5 minutes then add the 3 tablespoons of Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil. Season.
- Mix together the beans and peas with the diced plum tomatoes and the mint. Toss in the shallots and lavender pickle with rapeseed oil and mix well.
- To serve, place a large pastry cutter or ring (size depends on whether you're serving it as a starter or main) in the centre of a plate or shallow bowl and spoon some of the salad into it, patting down gently. Lift off the ring – some of the salad will fall gently off the pile but that's fine.
- Flake the Staal hot smoked trout and serve on top of the salad. Serve the aioli on the side in a little pot. Garnish with the lavender flowers.
* The lavender pickle is also excellent for brining vegetables such as onions, carrots, baby turnips. Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 month

Though it is possible we have witnessed additional such periods in the past, right now there will be minor doubt that these days symbolizes an occasion during time which enjoys uniqueness as well as fashion as much as or maybe more compared to just about every other. This really is seen not only in the intense lines regarding clothes that definitely continue to be offered with stores, or in the spectacular variety of body art that's practiced these days, but also inside much more practical things, such as eyeglasses. Get, for example, designer glasses for men (designereyeglassesreview.wordpress.com). Nowadays, designer eyewear is definitely experiencing unmatched acceptance. In reality, it is actually within such demand as a method of specific depiction that it now is popular for those who usually do not even need to put on eyeglasses to use them simply because they think they add to his or her look!
Ladies, who created the use of eyewear for looks, applaud the actual practice regarding men that put on designer glasses. They seemingly find such males attractive, if it is probable to actually judge simply by exactly how they'll flock about the males which appear to social events wearing a set of exclusive spectacles. It appears almost as if the particular lenses independently amplify the person's appeal! In case you are somebody who is going to be looking for that ideal item to really set off your own outfit for a certain social function, or just to augment all of your fall attire, contemplate looking at men's designer glasses, especially when it is an area regarding add-ons you've not yet looked into. In the end, who is able to argue with an accessory so unusual that it has the power to help you seem cleverer and much more desirable! That's a two-for-one offer!
Though the local eyewear retailer will, no doubt, possess a good collection of frames, or even a few by any number of different developers, presently there is little question that the best place to find designer eyewear is online. Online retailers normally have the most beneficial price ranges in addition. They don't have the storefront and then workers to keep your nearby service provider does, and so are able to pass their financial savings on to their clients. On the net designer eyewear areas possess a considerably bigger inventory, to boot, with far more frames to choose from.

Oh my Jesus...these decal and die cut acrylic chairs make my inner chair whore weep.
I could just see them playing a vital role in a modern Marie Antoinette themed wedding. Unfortunately I have a feeling you would need a wedding budget the size of Versailles to afford these lovelies so alas I must admire from afar.

Shinedown's Nick Perri
SCARVES ARE TRAILING OFF THE WAIST OF guitarist Nick Perri as he brandishes a black Gibson Firebird. The 24 year old considers himself a bluesman, steeped in the licks of Johnny Winter while fusing his style into the rock-metal groove of Shinedown. Perri previously played with Silvertide, and also enjoyed a stint with Perry Farrell's Satellite Party, before settling in as Shinedown's new axe man. Now, with the release of Shinedown's third album, The Sound of Madness [Atlantic], Perri is ready for the road and amped to sweat the blues with his arsenal of Gibsons.
You're solely a Gibson player?
Yes. My number one is a black Les Paul Custom. It's a '57 reissue that's all mahogany with no maple cap—which is great, because I prefer a slightly darker tone. Throughout the set, I play the Les Paul, a Firebird, an ES-335, an SG, an Explorer, and a Flying V. They're all black.
Do the Gibsons define your sound?
I love my guitars, but I'm not sure they "define" my sound. I've always been a barebones guy, and I feel that tone comes from the guitar, the amp, and your fingers—but mostly your fingers.
However, you do run a multitude of effects.
The effects are just for color and accents, because it takes a lot of textures to pull off the sound of the album live. But the main tone you hear all night is my Les Paul through a Naylor Super-Drive 60. There's no distortion or overdrive pedal—just the natural sweet overdrive coming from the amp.
What elements led to your current style?
Like most guitarists, I started off being inspired by the greats—in my case, players such as Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Angus Young, David Gilmour, and Johnny Winter. The blues elements I learned from those guys early on will always be a part of me no matter what. Once I figured out what Angus and Page were doing, I took all of that and mashed it up with everything else that has inspired me over the years. That's how I created my own style. I'm definitely a blues-based guitar player who enjoys playing heavy-ass riffs that get you moving.
What scales do you gravitate towards when improvising?
I never learned any scales. I took lessons for a few years, but I decided I just wanted to rock out, so I started learning from records. I know if something sounds right, and I know where my fingers should be going.
What was your first breakthrough on the guitar?
I know the exact moment. I was 15 years old, and I was really fascinated with playing many notes as fast as possible. I remember I was sitting in my room and "Machine Gun" from Band of Gypsys came on. When Hendrix goes into the first note of the solo, he holds that one note for 16 bars or so, and that floored me. It changed my whole life, and my whole perspective on guitar playing. I don't think you can really tell somebody that less is more— they either get it or they don't. But hearing Hendrix screaming with that one note was the turning point in my world.
How have you grown as a player over the years?
Growth just sort of happens. When I listen to older shows and compare them to newer ones, I can hear development in my vibrato and the way I phrase things. For me, the growth probably came from nonstop playing. I just love the guitar, and I play every day for at least three or four hours. Sometimes, guitar players feel like they've reached some kind of plateau, but you just have to keep playing through that in order to stumble across something new. I like to play something old, but discover a new way to play it. I think those moments are what we all live for, because they're exciting and fresh.
What elements of Johnny Winter did you develop into your style?
He taught me that you can be a blues player and still shred. He was the fastest and cleanest blues player on the face of the earth—that forced me to go back and look at my technique.
Angus Young?
As a wee lad, he put the fire under my ass to get up on stage. I learned how to put on a rock show from him.
He was the king of soul and feel. As I mentioned earlier, I learned the power of one note from him. I was no longer afraid to let notes hang.
What elements are necessary to be considered a solid blues player?
Most importantly for me, it's feel, phrasing, and simplicity. Less is more. When you run with that as a blues player, you'll do just fine.
What do you think of younger blues cats such as Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang?
Well, to be blunt, I was never into them. I mean this with all due respect, but I felt like they were ripping so much from my heroes that, at times, it was almost blasphemous. I'd much rather hear someone doing something fresh. It's not wrong to be heavily influenced, but I think the importance of finding your own voice cannot be overstated.
How did you approach the guitar playing in Perry Farrell's Satellite Party?
Guitar-wise, it was very straightforward blues-based rock. My Les Paul through the amp was most of my sound— except for using delay here and there. Perry gave me freedom to be myself, and he even added a guitar solo to his Jane's Addiction song "Jane Says" that was quite an honor for me. Speaking of Jane's Addiction, when I studied the records, I noticed that Dave Navarro recorded all these little nuances that will blow your mind. As the sole guitarist in Satellite Party, I had to decipher those things, and figure out how to play them as one guitar part. Of course, the entire Jane's Addiction catalog is brilliant, so it was a joy to play that stuff every night.
Given Farrell's arty approach, did you find yourself playing more theatrically in that band?
No. To be honest, I never think about my performances on stage, because what I do comes very natural to me. There is always an element of the theatrical in my playing, because I grew up doing theatre in school. I've always believed in the power of entertainment. Watching fans night after night, I know they don't want to pay for tickets, pay for parking, stand in line for an hour, and then watch a bunch of dudes staring at their feet.
What modern players do you dig?
First and foremost, Tom Morello. He wrote some of the heaviest, most asskicking riffs this world has ever heard. Matthew Bellamy from Muse is an amazing riff writer, and he's also one of the most melodic singers, piano players, and frontmen out there. I also like Nick Maybury from Mink. He may be the most badass blues cat playing now. We toured together when I was with Perry, and he would make me sick to my stomach each night because he is that good.
Why do you think the good guitar players these days are getting younger and younger?
Because they now have the means via media and technology to hear and see all the guitar greats any time they want. You can YouTube any artist you can think of, and watch thousands of clips of them performing. I think the kids are soaking it up better and faster than I ever could.
I heard you once played with Les Paul.
I was asked to sit in with him in New York a few years back, and the highlight of my career so far was having the honor of playing with him. That's where my Les Paul tattoo came from—I asked him to sign me! What can I say? We all owe everything to him.
Why would guitar players dig your style?
I put my heart and my soul into my playing from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. The reason I live is for the guitar. The guitar has always been my voice. I was given a gift musically, and that's how I speak to people. I'm much more comfortable speaking with my guitar than having a normal conversation.

We Struggle to Act Responsibly
It's no surprise that people often struggle to act responsibly, even when they know better. They charge too much on their credit cards, eat ice cream for breakfast and skip the gym. Many of these self-control issues are driven by present bias, which is the tendency to make choices that are distorted by the prospect of an immediate reward. Here... View Article

Location: Great Harbor, Peter Island
Today was one of my favorite days on the trip. We started the day with cereal for breakfast, and then we traveled over to Salt Island. There we got ready to dive the wreck of the Rhone. I was partnered with Dakota, but we also went around with Sydney and Eliza. We saw a shark and a bunch of fish! It was so cool! After the dive, we had ramen for lunch, and then some of us went swimming. The next thing we did was hike Salt Island. When we were walking across the path, my flip-flop sunk in the mud and Marin had to help me get it out. Besides that, the hike was really fun, and there was an amazing view at the top. We finished the great day with breakfast for dinner.

John Pearse 1.2mm Flat FAST TURTLE Pick
Tortoise Shell has been the "Holy Grail" of guitar picks for as long as I can remember...and, for a considerably shorter time than that [we won't get picky] we have been trying to make picks which are legal and non-lethal to life forms, and which get the same sound.
John's wonderful Studio Picks taught people that a pick could be redesigned...and has 3 different picking points,each of which gets a different sound! So, after using Casein [a resin made from Milk and Phosphoric Acid] for our Faux Tortoise Shell Pins, it wasn't much of a stretch of the imagination to think about doing the Studio™ Picks in Casein.
Our NEW John Pearse® FAST TURTLES™ are so named in honor of all the tortoises who got away safely!

The American Medical Association (AMA) has written an amicus brief backing the proper testimony in court to support causation in medical malpractice claims.
The brief comes after a plaintiff in a case before Washington state's Supreme Court brought in a medical expert to testify who didn't meet the requirements for determining causation.
According to a news release from the AMA Wire, the case, Frausto v. Yakima HMA, will head to the U.S. Supreme Court on appeal.
A lower court ruled that the advanced registered nurse practitioner (ARNP) who the plaintiff,
Rudy Frausto, had an affidavit from, could testify that he developed decubitus ulcers after being admitted to Yakima Regional Medical Center for 10 days to treat symptoms of general body weakness, influenza and pneumonia. The ARNP, Karen Wilkinson, said in the affidavit that the hospital failed to provide the plaintiff with proper bedding, skin assessments and other care, which resulted in the development of the bed sores.
The trial court said that even though Wilkinson practiced as a licensed nurse for more than 26 years and had taught other nurses, she was only qualified to testify to the standard of care at the hospital but not about medical causation.
"The ability to testify accurately regarding causation is dependent upon the ability to render a medical diagnosis identifying the etiology of a condition or injury," the Litigation Center of the AMA and several other medical societies argue in the amicus brief.

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that we are surrounded by energy fields which help us achieve balance, health and harmony in our lives.
The basic principle is that all things can be divided into 5 elements or phases: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.
Most of us are familiar with these elements as they relate to feng shui, acupuncture and chi gong, but the same principles are also applied to foods and physical healing.
Each element has a corresponding season, organ system in the body, color and taste and emotion associated with it.
Learning to eat according to the 5 elements can help us balance our energy, nourish particular organs and achieve optimal health.
Once each season, I will be offering a comprehensive class on the corresponding element.
We will dive deeply into the ancient traditions of strengthening the organ systems associated with each element. We will use tools from Eastern medicine, energy medicine and spirituality in addition to food.
These classes are for you if:
You are seeking to deepen your knowledge of traditional cooking methods
You are desiring to branch out in your cooking and your cooking skills
You are interested in learning ways to prevent and/or heal disease.
You desire being around a community of like minded people
You understand that food and community are at the core of our well- being.
You love cooking and trying new foods.
You are open to different energy practices for grounding and healing (chi gong, meditation, energy medicine).
You wish to help others in your community heal.
These classes are hands on and include resources, recipes and a sit down meal at the end of the class.

Little mammoth figure with human face in bas relief on its side
Find by archaeologist Jan van Es, The Netherlands
The human/mammoth combination seen in Hans Gram's sculpture featured in the prior posting and in other sculptures featured on this blog is also seen here on this small pebble with a mammoth form including eye, with a simple human face icon on its side. The mammoth is facing right and the human face is looking straight-on, perhaps smiling. The photo at right shows human stone removal to define the oval-shaped human head.

This North Carolina mammoth shaped sculpture (in profile facing left) identified by Buzzy Boles was interpreted in an earlier posting on this blog as having a carved smiling human face mask, a bison head looking right and a lion face in the lower left as illustrated here.

Winter Meetings interview with John Gibbons
Q. It's had to have been a fun offseason, a couple of significant adds to this team?
JOHN GIBBONS: It's been big. Of course Russell Martin came on first. He's a guy that everybody in the organization wanted to be able to get. That was big to set the tone. And of course Donaldson and Saunders, who knows where it goes from here. It's been a big offseason for us at this point.
Q. When you look at your lineup and how you configure it, do you see Martin getting two?
JOHN GIBBONS: Yeah, Russell would probably be the ideal 2 spot for us. One thing about him is he's a complete player, a real good behind the plate. And can really handle the bat. Might be an ideal spot. We haven't figured that out yet. But we have time. But you look at our lineup, it's pretty strong. Donaldson, another guy alluded to Russell, we didn't know if we had a shot at him. That kind of happened real fast. I'm not sure we really pursued him from the get‑go, and everything started developing. But chance to acquire another All‑Star player.
Q. When you look at the potential OBP you have, two through five, however you configure it with Martin, No. 6 and beyond, those guys should be able to get a lot of opportunities. Based on what you have now, who do you like behind that group to make sure you capitalize on potential opportunities you're going to have?
JOHN GIBBONS: Well, you know, depending on what happens with Navarro, Dioner can really hit, you know, Saunders. We're not sure how it's going to be play out at second base. We figure there's going to be a lot of opportunities. If guys like Eddie and those guys leave guys on base, they'll drive them in themselves.
We had a strong offensive lineup last year, it's really strong this year. It's our strength. But we still need to upgrade and get stronger in the bullpen, because that's a key part of any team. And Alex is working on that right now. We'll see.
Offensively we're pretty good.
Q. Do you think you have enough in the bottom third of that order to keep things going?
JOHN GIBBONS: Yeah, yeah. I don't see why not. If you look at it, we think our top of the lineup is as good as anybody's. So they're going to do a lot of damage, those guys alone. 1 through 9 is rarely all great players. They have to hold their own and keep the lineup moving a little bit.
Q. Would you like to keep Navarro, to give your more options?
JOHN GIBBONS: I love Dioner, and picking up Russell, that's of course ‑‑ that makes Dioner the odd man out as far as catching goes. But he did a great job for us. There's definitely a place for us. He can flat out hit. I know there are teams that want him. I'm not sure where he'll end up. If he's here I'd love to have him.
Q. When you were in Arizona did you see Dalton Pompey and talk to him out there and how did he look?
JOHN GIBBONS: The day we got out there he got injured in the first game, did something to his ankle. He didn't play the remainder of the week he was there.
Q. Did you talk to him?
JOHN GIBBONS: No, I didn't get a chance to talk to him. He's going to come in and compete for the job. He showed us enough last year. If he needs more time, he needs more time. But we all think he may be the guy. We'll see. And of course then you have Pillar, those guys that come in and also compete. And we'll see where it all ends up.
Q. Are you intrigued a little by (inaudible) and the fact he can run and do different things?
JOHN GIBBONS: Yeah, you need that on your team. Ned Yost was on here before, but Kansas City, late in the game, Dyson, late in the season, they can steal a base, and scoring position, and won a lot of games this year. You can have a guy that comes off the bench late, he can serve a valuable role for you, and maybe he's the guy.
Q. You guys obviously still have some moves to make and it seems like the bullpen is an area of focus. Would you prefer to keep Cecil and Loup kind of in their current roles and find a closer from outside the organization?
JOHN GIBBONS: Well, I mean ideally you get that closer that's done it before. He's been really good. Robertson is a guy out there right now that's done that. But whether you can sign a guy like that, who knows. I think Cecil could do it. I think he had four or five of them last year. But still he's untested in that. He's pretty valuable coming in the 7th or eighth inning, too, but, what we're able to acquire. There's no question we need to strengthen the bullpen, that's for sure.
Q. If you keep Navarro, does Martin ‑‑ are you going to really give Martin an opportunity in Spring Training?
JOHN GIBBONS: Well, that's still up in the air, too. Alex talked to him early on and he said he would like to try to catch him. Still that's not easy to do. So we'll see. If Dioner is here, he could spell Russell little bit. Plus DH Dioner. And play some first, and Smoak that will be competing for a job. If he's out there, then Eddie could had. We have some options, but there's still ‑‑ even through the moves we have now, there's still a lot of things up in the air.
Q. Coming out of Spring Training, did Dickey have a big say on Tollie being there. Did he express that to you?
JOHN GIBBONS: No, if you remember, we went down to the final week of Spring Training, we went to the minor leagues, and split the game, Dickey told us either way he could care less. He didn't want to get involved in that. There was a clear‑cut difference that toll I was comfortable with him. And he got the nod on that, because he had done it before. And he was a little bit better at it. It's not an easy thing to do. Russell has got the kind of hands he could probably do it. But it would be a quick learning process.
Q. Catchers get beat up back there at the best of times. Would it be preferable to not have your No. 1 catcher have to worry about dealing with the knuckle ball as well as all the other stuff?
JOHN GIBBONS: I don't know, it might be preferable. I think ‑‑ I'm not sure, but you look at can a guy do it or not, is he good at it. And that's he's doing pretty good for us. You saw that in Dickey's first start when he came over to us, it was kind of rough. You have to make sure he has a guy he can throw to.
Q. How concerned are you about maybe having to replace Bucky?
JOHN GIBBONS: We'd like to have him back. I don't think the door is closed on that. He had a big year for us last year. And one of the most sought after guys. Especially with guys like Cruz coming off the board. If he doesn't come become we'll miss him. He was good defensively. That's the way the game works. He's out there, as he should, shopping around. You only have so many chances to become a free agent in your career. He's doing what's best for him. It would be a loss, but I think picking up Saunders, a change of scenery will really help him out. We're looking forward to having him, too.
Q. Would you recommend to Alex to bring in one or two short‑term starting pitchers, just to give you some insurance at Spring Training, as some of the young guys take a step back or something?
JOHN GIBBONS: Well, every team battles depth problems. That's one area when we traded Happ the other day, that eliminates one more. So always in the back of your mind do we have enough depth. He's trying to bring up guys, Hendriks, that he could be a guy like that. Fallback guys that could possibly do that job, Estrada is one, Redmond is another guy. You can never have enough. We were pretty lucky with the numbers we needed last year, our starters held up pretty good. But that's kind of a rare year. I know he's going to try to bring in some guys, but the quality guys that can come in.
Q. If you stretch Sanchez out as a starter at Spring Training, could you late in camp bring him back and put him in the pen again?
JOHN GIBBONS: Yeah, you could do that. And like I said, before, everybody is looking forward to seeing what he can do as a starter. We think he can be a real good one. Depending on how the bullpen shapes up, it could come down where we're a better team in the bullpen, if we have to do that, we'll do that. And time is still on his side to become a good starter, anyway.
Q. In terms of relievers you have internally, guys who aren't Estrada, Redmond, Loup, Cecil, who are you curious to see, guys that might have an opportunity to make an impact next year?
JOHN GIBBONS: Well, if you think about it, the only guys you know going in, you have Redmond, Loup, Cecil, and those guys, Estrada. It's really kind of up in the air. Hopefully they bring in a couple of new guys, and hopefully they're proven Major League pitchers. Other than that it's really a crap shoot.
Q. Do you have expectations for Delabar to come back next year?
JOHN GIBBONS: Yeah, he's still on the radar. We figure the offseason he gets rested up and comes back. He's in the plans, if they comes off the bench.
Q. As far as the rotation goes, do you think that last year can be the jumping off point for Hutch and Stroman, are you expecting improvement from them in the coming season?
JOHN GIBBONS: Yeah, I think the sky is the limit with both those guys. Hutch coming off the Tommy John. I thought he had a great year. He had extra stretch in the middle of the season he struggled, but the way he finished and the way he started, he's a young kid, I think he's only going to get better.
And Stro, Stro had really an incredible year. The he really dominated some pretty good teams. Which isn't easy to do for a rookie. Yeah, we think those guys are going to get better. I think just being in the Big Leagues, more experience, will have better results. We feel good about them. The big question now, is Sanchez a guy that stays in the rotation or ends up in the pen. We've got to see how the pen develops.
Q. Given the changes that were made with Donaldson and Martin, this clubhouse will have a very different personality. The group doesn't reach its goals for a couple of seasons like you did, what kind of benefits can having a change of personnel in the clubhouse have on the group?
JOHN GIBBONS: Well, I don't know. We don't know those guys as teammates, those kind of things. Everything we've heard they're both gamers. They're great competitors. That will definitely help us.
I don't think the clubhouse was what cost us the last couple of years, we just didn't play well enough. But you get some guys that have been proven winners, we talked before, this group, here, very few guys on the team, two or three of them have even been to the postseason of the you add a couple more guys, that can only help you. So we'll see. Anytime you can sign a couple of All‑Star caliber players, you've got to do it.
Q. Do you believe in the value of playoff appearances contributing to an individual's experience and what he can bring to the team? What are some of the attributes with Martin and Donaldson will bring?
JOHN GIBBONS: I think what happens when guys have been through it before, when the going gets tough, they've been there, they know how to act, they know how to react. And how to respond. Those kind of things. So we had a number of young guys on the team that had never been through it, really trying to make a name in the Big Leagues, period.
Anytime you bring in ‑‑ the more winners you can bring in the better you're going to be.
Q. A little bit of a crap shoot getting the right mix of players, looking at the talent you guys had, there was plenty of it, compare it to Baltimore or Kansas City. Those teams, wasn't that they had more talent, it seemed the right mix of talent?
JOHN GIBBONS: Well, those are both good teams. And they had their strengths. They both were strong on the pitching side and both really good defensive teams. But I can speak from experience with the Kansas City team, they were over there when they brought a lot of young kids, there was something different about those guys, great competitors. All that was on their mind was winning. I think that went a long way for those guys. But you can't do that unless you have the talent to do it. You look at the pitching staff, especially in the bullpen. But it makes things easier. I definitely think it helps, if you've got a tight anytime group in that clubhouse.
Q. You've got a few younger players that you're counting on, guys like Sanchez and Pompey and even Norris to a certain extent. How important was that for them to get their feet wet and for you as a manager to see how they perform on the big stage?
JOHN GIBBONS: I think guys are all trying to make the Big Leagues. That's the No. 1 goal. And I think the sooner you get them there, so they experience that, I think that's the biggest thing. Get that out of the way. Now those guys can go home and say I've been here. It's magnified. There's more pressure. It's still the same game of baseball. When they come back up, the next time, it's like I've done this before. It's not the shock the first go around. That always helps. Pompey, I think it will do wonders for him. He played the last of the season for us every day. You could see he had the talent, but until he got out and could show that. I think he had to gain a lot of confidence.
Q. He was pretty much aware of the comments that you made not that long ago when you said if the season began today you would be my center fielder. Do you want to discourage him from thinking that keys are being handed to him, he still has to work his tail off?
JOHN GIBBONS: It's not going to be handed to him. He's got to compete and have a good Spring Training. But I think he was big ‑‑ the other question, we had no idea what he was going to do. But you don't know what he's going to do in the Big Leagues. This way we got to see it. It wasn't like he was facing ‑‑ he was facing, as far as the pitching goes, the cream of the crop of the Big Leagues and did a nice job with it. That really kind of opened it up to everybody, maybe this guy is our guy quicker than expected. But he's got to take the approach and show up at Spring Training, saying I've got to win this job.
Q. How much is Kevin in the mix? We awesome good moments and maybe not some good moments. He's shown defensively he's a player. Where do you see him fitting?
JOHN GIBBONS: Kev could be on the team, too. He's got a shot. Kev's always, always been really good in the minor leagues. He's been in the Big Leagues, he's played really sporadically, and that's tough to do for a young guy. His final go around in September, he was getting better and better. He's a guy that we think through experience and more time on the field he's going to be the player he was in the minor leagues.
Yeah, there's definitely a spot for him, too. We feel good about what we have out there. If Melky doesn't come back, we have to fill in some others, we have some guys, that they may not do what he did last year, the first couple of years, but they have enough talent to piece it altogether and still help us out.
Q. You got to see Norris and Pompey in September, you didn't get to see Devon Travis and he's a guy who's been in the minor leagues, hasn't been in the Big Leagues yet. What do you expect from him?
JOHN GIBBONS: We'll see what he is. I talked to Brad Ausmus and Jim Leyland, and they said this kid can really hit. He's got a chance to be a real good hitter. So, yeah, we'll be hearing from those guys. Put a lot of stock in it.
But he's a young kid and he's got to ‑‑ may not be ready, either, we're hoping in the near future he's the second baseman, the guy to go to. He's got to come to camp, and if he lights it up, who knows. If not, that's okay, too. Time is still on his side.
Q. What about Kawasaki, are you planning to have him back?
JOHN GIBBONS: I'm not sure where that's going to go. We love him. He's done a nice job for us these last couple of years. Talking to our bench coach, he went to the team that went to the All‑Star Team, Kawasaki was the sideline reporter (laughter), interviewing guys. Who knows, if not as a player, he might come back in your guys' job. We'd love to have him. Who knows what's going to happen.
Q. At the beginning of this offseason second base seemed to be a strong emphasis, at least for us in the media. With the additions you've made with Donaldson and Martin, does that make second base less of a priority for you guys to find another big piece to put into that mix?
JOHN GIBBONS: I'm not so sure that piece is really out there. It really fits us. But it's really no different than going into ‑‑ last year you look at our offense, we were going to go with Ryan at second base, and just hope he gave us something offensively. And then as the season went on we thought we need more offense in that spot. So we ended up setting him down.
Again, this year, another very good offense, probably stronger, we'll see where that goes. It's a constant debate. If you just get great defense, can you cover yourself offensively. Yeah, you hope so and you'd like to be able to say yes, but then you do need some kind of offense.
Izturis coming back from an injury, who knows what he's going to be able to do, what kind of mobility he's going to have. We could run up to one of the guys ‑‑ we could bring somebody in, but I'm not so sure that guy is out there. That is still up in the air which is the best way to go, strictly defense or get a guy that gives you a little bit of both.
Q. Do you think how much you use Reyes because of the beating his body took, especially at home?
JOHN GIBBONS: It might make some sense to give him a little more time off. Not a lot. We need him out there and he loves to play. But I think you'll see a couple of extra days here or there, might do him good. He might agree to all that. But a six‑month season would probably do him some good.
Q. Janssen and Alex, it's talked about under the right circumstances, late January, if the price is right, there's a chance that he could come back. But he's still a little upset about the way his last two months played out. Is there anything you could have done to change that or is it just the food poisoning and the result of that? Is there anything you would have done differently?
JOHN GIBBONS: No. Looking back, we brought Sanchez up, we kind of laid out a plan, I told him, This is how we're going to do it. And Sanchez is pitching really, really good. Casey struggled after the All‑Star break, with the food poisoning or whatever it was, he struggled. And the name of the game is getting results.
I know he and Alex talked about the contract during the season a little bit, too, they couldn't come together on anything, apparently.
But I have no hard feelings for the guy. I hope it's likewise. He had a nice career, really good career. He's very reliable. Who knows, come January or ‑‑ I don't know when, maybe he could be back. But at least I thought I explained how we were going to use Sanchez. If he had been so‑so, it might have been a little different. Casey had his struggles in the second half of the season, as well. We're basically trying to win a game.
Q. What have you heard about the new surface that you guys are getting? Did you have any feedback to the team about the old rug?
JOHN GIBBONS: You know, that's been brought up a lot about the turf there. To be honest with you, maybe I don't hear it. I never really hear much complaining out of the players. I do know turf beats up your body, the give on it, the cushion or whatever it is. These guys don't bitch and moan about the playing surface.
This new stuff, I don't know a lot about it, other than it's supposed to be better. But really, there's no excuse. So you live with it. If you need an extra day or two off, maybe you take that. I don't think it's really been an issue.
Q. You now have a fourth hitting coach in as many years, for veteran guys it doesn't make a huge deal, but for some of the younger players, that have so many different voices kind of instilling their philosophy at the plate. Is there any concern that the guys are going to get messed up with all the different voices they've heard?
JOHN GIBBONS: No, I don't think so. But the group we have now, the veterans, they'll know what to do. Probably, really, Ryan is the only guy that's going to affect.
Q. Pillar, maybe?
JOHN GIBBONS: Pillar a little bit, maybe.
No, I don't think that's a big deal. It's not ideal, you don't want to do that all the time. I don't think that will be a factor.
Q. What about the bullpen coaching spot?
JOHN GIBBONS: We'll know in the next week. We've got a pretty good idea who it's going to be. Nothing has been announced yet.
JOHN GIBBONS: He can go get them in that outfield. He can steal a base. He's a good baserunner, yeah. Big center fielder out there in the Comerica Park, you'd be glad you have him.
Q. Started with the lineup, but thinking back to that, would you ideally like to have someone like Saunders or Smoak or some left‑hand swinger break his way into that group of right‑handed hitters?
JOHN GIBBONS: You know, I mean, if you look at the guys we have, Eddie and Bautista and Donaldson, it's not ideal, you'd like to break some things up, like we did last year. I think it made us a little stronger.
What it does, it forces the hand on the other side if you've got a good left‑handed hitter, as far as using the bullpen. But we're going to run our best lineup out there from the top, stretch it out as far as we can. And if it's all right‑handed, so be it. Like I say, it's not what you'd call a balanced line, but it's a dangerous lineup, regardless.

An ass and a dog were on their travels together, and, as they went along, they found a sealed packet lying on the ground. The ass picked it up. Broke the seal, and found it contained some writing, which he proceeded to read out aloud to the dog. As he read on it turned out to be all about grass and barley and hay-in short, all the kinds of fodder that asses are fond of.
The dog was a good deal bored with listening to all this, till at last his impatience got the better of him, and he cried, "Just skip a few pages, friend, and see if there isn't something about meat and bones." The ass glanced all through the packet, but fund nothing of the sort, and said so. Then the Dog said in disgust, "Oh, throw it away, do: what's the good of a thing like that?"

Clarifying the College Board's Score Review Process

Clarifying the College Board's Score Review ProcessCollege Board Communications
As a not-for-profit mission-driven organization, the College Board is committed to increasing access to college for students from all backgrounds.
We take extremely seriously the concerns raised about our score review process. Behind every score is a young person with a future ahead of them. We take the utmost care because students' lives are directly involved.
When we issue scores, we need to make sure they are valid and trustworthy. As such, we conduct statistical analyses on every answer document we receive for every SAT administration to flag potential score validity concerns. In each administration, the vast majority of scores are released; there is only a relatively small number of scores placed under review or cancelled.
In the review process, we give the benefit of the doubt to the student and we never hold or cancel scores unless there is very strong evidence. We do our best to honor the work students do and ensure we have all the evidence that should inform decisions about score reviews.
Our analyses do not factor into account any individually identifying information about the student. The process of flagging scores for review does not consider the race, gender, or other personal attributes of the students.
We strongly celebrate students of all backgrounds soaring on the SAT and claiming their future. We created Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy to give all students the chance to receive free, personalized practice. We recently celebrated that 100,000 students improved their SAT score by 200 points through free practice on Khan Academy. These gains were consistent across students of every background, regardless of race, income, and gender.
We hope that what follows clarifies some of the aspects of the process that we must follow when we see concerning evidence around scores.
- Student scores are never placed under review or cancelled simply because of score gains. Score reviews are triggered by a range of factors that cast doubt on the validity of a score. We follow the same process for reviewing scores for all students; race, ethnicity, or any other personal attributes have no role in this process.
- Here are some of the types of evidence that can prompt a score review or suggest invalidity:
- A student's answer sheet resembles another student's, or more concerningly, a group of students who have very similar answers, including the same wrong answers.
- The same group includes students whose scores have been canceled for irregularities in the past.
- The group of students' answers match not only one another's, but an answer key or "cheat sheet" that has been found circulating among students.
- There is an absence of any scratch work in the student's testing booklet.
Each of these factors and other similar evidence are rare. In combination, they are extremely rare and establish very strongly that a score is not valid.
- Any student can confirm their original score by promptly taking a retest (free of charge and at the student's convenience), and the student only needs to score within the range of the original score to have it released. For example, in many cases, if a student scores within 120-150 points of their reviewed score in both the Reading and Math sections, the student can confirm the score that was under review.
- Students can also submit evidence throughout the review process, and they always have the option of a hearing with a neutral arbitrator. We want to ensure that all of the evidence is considered before making determinations that can impact a student's score.
Let us be more than clear. We celebrate score gains by students and have dedicated scholarships for students who improve. We have released data to the public celebrating score gains from students of all backgrounds.
We would prefer never to have to hold or cancel scores, but we must hold students to certain standards to ensure that all students have a fair chance to show their best work and that the scores we deliver to colleges are valid.

Of Dog Sleds and Auroras
If anyone were to ask me which vacation was the best I've ever had,
it would have to be my visit to Kiruna and Abisko.
It was a trip of many first-times –
first time on a dog sled, first time seeing the Northern Lights, first time in a snow fight,
first time on snow mobile, first time sleeping on a bed made of ice!
I was a little apprehensive when A said that we should try dog sledding.
Because I am a worry wart.
What if we fall. What if we fall and we cut ourselves.
What if we fall and we cut ourselves and bleed.
What if we fall and we cut ourselves and bleed to death because we are too far from any help.
But after rounds of persuasion from A, I caved.
We arrived at the dog pens area where all the dogs were at.
All of them became mad excited when they saw us approaching, it must be because they know they will be getting a good run soon!
I felt quite bad, to be honest.
Because it was like -20 degrees and these dogs look like they are FREEZING!
They looked a little fierce but they are the friendliest dogs around, really.
Alfie De Meow
I first came across Alfie De Meow in Company Of Cats, a cat cafe in Singapore.
They have lots of cute brooches and the best thing is –
EVERY SINGLE THING in Alfie De Meow is cat-themed!
You should have seen A's face when she first checked out Alfie De Meow's online store! :p
Alfie De Meow has a wide range of rings, necklaces, brooches and other accessories.
They also have some pet accessories and household items like cushions and small dishes to totally "cat-ify" your world! Heh!
Here are some of the product pictures taken off their website so you get a feel of what's in store!
Tinkr Of Me
Thank you TINKR for the wonderful gifts.
The two little black books are very special to A and I,
And I'm glad to have the two "blind portraits" made into necklaces.
Phillip Wain Treats
I am proud to say that I have been officially smoke-free for 56 days today.
*cues applause*
And I am on a quest to feel healthy, look healthy and be a healthy 30-something.
As I have mentioned before, A and I will be getting married to each other
in San Francisco in November this year.
We've both been saying how we will love each other no matter how fat we become.
But bulls to that, deep down, we both want to look damn hot lah! Hahaha!
A just bought a treadmill. And as for me, I chose the easier and fancier way out. :3
As I was looking for a club to join for a gym, Phillip Wain asked if
I was interested to visit their club and give my readers an insight about what they do.
So, why not?
I've been to Phillip Wain about 6 years back.
At that time, I really enjoyed every single session I had with them but I didn't stay
because it was honestly a little too expensive for me because I was still a student.
But now as an working adult, I am able to put a little more aside for these little luxuries in life.
Stick around for a little tour and review of the brand new Phillip Wain at Mandarin Gallery!
Stockholm & Kiruna
In 2011 Beijing, it was -10 degrees C, but it did not snow.
In 2015 January, Seoul, it hit 0 degrees C, but no it did not snow. (IT RAINED! Busket….)
2015 February, Padova, there was snow all around on the floor, but I did not see falling snow. *dreads*
2015 is the year I first saw falling snow. And Sweden is that special place.
My light-chasing trip to Sweden is one of the best vacation I've ever had.
