Meet Chewee. He's a 6-year-old Hound mix living at the Spokane Humane Society. He's currently looking for a new loving human to call his own. Because he's friendly, Chewee's great for kids.
The volunteers at the animal shelter gave us a big list of nice things about this dog. Chewee loves treats and knows a few tricks. Chewee is house-trained too.
Ever-curious, he's fond of going for walks or hikes and is very energetic. If you have a car, Chewee would make a great partner on your trip. You can tell he loves to travel because he loves to look out of the car window.
Chewee is ideal for parents without other pets in the house as he likes to be the king of the castle. It isn't too much to ask for such an amazing dog, right? He'd be very happy to find a forever home. The Spokane Humane Society invites you to come and meet him.
The Spokane Humane Society is a private, non-profit, public charity, supported to a large extent by those who care deeply about the welfare of homeless pets. For more than one hundred years, this team has been working to enrich the lives of companion animals through support, education, advocacy and love.

The 2016 year will be celebrating trends that go back to nature. You're sure to see metallic notes, jewel tones, and a little pops of colors. Pastel palettes are making a comeback to set the tone for a whimsically inspired wedding.
This year, a popular choice for those lovers of whimsy will be having a neutral color and adding in pastel colors like rose quartz and serenity blue. This color mixture will give guests a relaxing feeling with that pop of blue coming through the pinks. It is like sitting on a cloud with cotton candy in your hand….what could be better!?!
These roses are kissed with water droplets to make it feel like a spring shower just happened inside your ceremony.
Note the subtlety of this beautiful bouquet, the colors aren't screaming at you and the real star here is the bride's shining rose quartz nail design!
Adding a small statuette of an angel or a woodland creature will add to the playfulness and whimsical charm. Or even a small special touch added to the napkins.
Expect tablescapes to make use of centerpieces varying in size from small to over the top huge. Bunches of small plants and candles creatively sprinkled about the table play into the feeling of relaxed refinement.
Adding a bright green accent will make those pastel colors stand out and leave your guest in awe of their majesty.
I hope that this inspiration post has given you some great ideas for your special day. Look forward to more in the weeks to come. We would love to hear what you think about this in the comments below. What are some ideas you have to add touches of whimsy to your event?

Josh woke me up this morning with a kiss whispering, "Happy last day of 2013, baby." As I wiped the sleep from my eyes I realized the depth of his statement. This past year has been one of the biggest and best of my entire life.
We started off the new year with my 27th birthday celebration. It was just a small get together with close friends/family and we had an incredible time. Shortly after I decided to take a break from Facebook social media. That was probably one of the best decisions I made. I realized that friends/family would keep up with us via social media instead of calling or stopping by and when I "disappeared" it was very evident who our true friends/family were. We learned a lot through that process.
In the Spring I enjoyed a much needed break from school and celebrated our little princess' very first birthday. Yes, I went overboard, but I am SO happy that I did. We have pictures that will last a lifetime, not to mention cherished notes from friends/family for Callie to open when she turns 18. Our little girl really blossomed this year. She went from a babbling baby to a full blown toddler speaking in 3-4 word sentences.
Summer went by in a flash! I started my Etsy business and closed the season with a trip to Destin with Josh. It was our first time being away from Callie and though it was a struggle, we came back rejuvenated, refreshed and.... pregnant. :)
Thanksgiving was spent with Josh's family in East Texas. It didn't really feel like Thanksgiving to me this year, I am not sure if it was the lack of "tradition" but it was difficult to get into the spirit (not to mention Callie and I were both very ill).
Christmas followed quickly after. Callie was spoiled beyond belief with way too many toys/clothes and Josh and I were able to spend time with both sides of our family.
Callie is now 19 months old, 20 lbs and so much fun. Her favorite things are babies, balls, books and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She just started using the potty daily, and after an attempt at full on potty training we realized that she and mommy just aren't quite ready to nip diapers in the bud completely. One of her favorite gifts from Christmas was her play kitchen / food. She loves to play pretend mommy and does such a great job pampering her little dolls. Her giggle is out of this world, her smile even better and not only is she a smarty pants, but she is great at giving hugs and kisses, too.
2013 was incredible. I grew in my faith, strengthened my relationship with my loving husband and accomplished more than I could've hoped with motherhood. As the day grows closer to night I realize that we are saying goodbye to a chapter in our lives. Our family of 3 will be growing to a family of 4 in just a few short months. We will have new obstacles, battles, hardships and stresses, but along with those will come new memories, opportunities to grow and learn as a family and for that I am so thankful.
I don't want to stress myself out by setting a bazillion goals for this new year. Truly there are only 3. Be the daughter of Christ I was made to be, cherish my family (and make them FEEL cherished), and be the most incredible, loving, selfless Mommy that I can be. I am thankful for the blessing of another year lived, and will not take 2014 for granted. Here's to making new memories with those who matter most in the coming year... Happy New Year to you and yours!

Install the GNU ARM toolchain under Linux
Embedded development tools for a popular processor
If you are interested in embedded systems development on a widely used microprocessor, the Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) core fits the bill. This article provides a starting point for understanding the software side of embedded systems development by describing one set of commonly used tools: the GNU ARM toolchain.
The ARM family
Paramount among the concerns of embedded systems developers is how to get the most processing power from the least amount of electricity. The ARM processor family has one of the better designs for balancing processor power and battery power consumption.
The ARM core has gained technology advances through several versions over the last 20 years. Recent system on a chip (SoC) processors running on mobile phones such as the T-Mobile G1 Android combine dual-core (ARM9 and ARM11) processors to improve the performance of multimedia applications on low-powered platforms.
The more recent ARM cores support two operational states: ARM state, in which the core executes 32-bit, word-aligned instructions, and THUMB state, which executes 16-bit, halfword-aligned instructions. ARM mode provides the maximum power and addressing range capability of the processor, whereas THUMB mode allows portions of a program to be written in a very tight, memory-conserving way that keeps memory costs low. Switching between the modes is a trivial exercise, and for many algorithms, the size of the code required can be reduced significantly.
ARM processors improve performance by taking advantage of a modified Harvard architecture. In this architecture, the processor employs separate data and instruction caches, but they "feed" off of the same bus to access external memory. Furthermore, the instructions are put into a five-stage "pipeline" so that parallel processing occurs on the five most recent instructions loaded into the pipeline. In other words, each of the five separate actions (fetch, decode, ALU, memory, write) involving instructions occur in parallel. So long as the pipeline is flowing steadily, your code enjoys the speed advantages of parallelism, but the moment a branch occurs to code outside the pipeline, the whole pipeline must be reset, incurring a performance penalty. The moral is to be careful in designing your code so that you use branching only minimally.
A unique feature that the ARM architecture provides—forcing programmers to think in new and unique ways—is that every instruction can be optionally executed based on the current state of the system flags. This feature can eliminate the need for branching in some algorithms and thus keep the advantages of a pipeline-based instruction- and data-caching mechanism running at best performance (as branching can force the caches to be unnecessarily cleared).
The GNU ARM toolchain
Most ARM systems programming occurs on non-ARM workstations using tools that cross-compile, targeting the ARM platform. The GNU ARM toolchain is such a programming environment, allowing you to use your favorite workstation environments and tools for designing, developing, and even testing on ARM simulators.
Hosted by CodeSourcery (see Related topics
for a link), the GNU toolchain described in this article—also known
as Sourcery G++ Lite—is available for download and use at
no cost. All the tools but the GNU C Library are licensed under the
standard GNU Public License version 3 (GPL3). The GNU C Library is
licensed under the GPL version 2.1. Included in the GNU toolchain are the
binary utilities (
binutils), the GNU Compiler Collection
(GCC), the GNU Remote Debugger (GDB), GNU
make, and the GNU
core utilities.
Also included in the Sourcery G++ Lite package is extensive documentation of the GNU toolchain tools, including the GNU Coding Standards document—good reading all around! Under the documentation for the GNU assembler, as, you will find a lot of ARM-specific information: opcodes, syntax, directives, and so on.
Downloading and installing the GNU toolchain
To download the GNU toolchain, visit the CodeSourcery download site (see Related topics) and choose the IA32 GNU/Linux TAR file:
Versions of the GNU toolchain are available for all the major client operating systems, but this article focuses on installing and using the Lite version of the toolchain under Linux®.
Because the ARM design has progressed through different versions throughout its history, different C libraries for three of the most common versions of the processor design—ARM v4T, ARM v5T, and ARM 7—are included in the Lite package.
Next, use the
bunzip2 command to extract the file into your
home directory.
Listing 1. Extracting the downloaded GNU toolchain
$ bunzip2 arm-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 $ tar -xvf arm-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar . . . (Files listed while being extracted from the archive.) . . . $
Now, modify your PATH environment variable to access the bin directory of the toolchain, and the tools are ready to use.
Configuring Linux to use the GNU toolchain
On the toolchain download page, you'll also find several useful PDF files—as well as a detailed Getting Started guide—that document the included tools. The instructions in this article are a condensed version that should get your toolchain up and running quickly.
If you do a lot more ARM programming than Intel® processor
programming, an alternative method is to add symbolic links to your
/usr/local/bin directory that reference the tools in the toolchain bin
directory. In this way, you can use shortcuts like
as to run
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as command interactively. Listing
2 shows examples of how to set up these symbolic links.
Listing 2. Setting up symbolic links to ARM tools
# cd /usr/local/bin # which arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as /home/bzimmerly/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as # ln -s /home/bzimmerly/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as as # ls -l as lrwxrwxrwx 1 bzimmerly bzimmerly 76 2009-03-13 02:48 as -> /home/bzimmerly /Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as # ./as --version GNU assembler (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q1-126) 18.104.22.16880215 Copyright 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3 or later. This program has absolutely no warranty. This assembler was configured for a target of `arm-none-linux-gnueabi'. #
Use the
which command to locate the full path name of the
command to make it easier to copy and paste it into the
command. Then, use the
ln -s command to create the symbolic
link. After that, verify that the link was successfully created by listing
it, then running it. By creating a simple symbolic link to all the tools
in the GNU toolchain's bin directory, you won't have to type out the long
names. Certainly,
as is easier to type than
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as every time you want to run the
Writing a program for the ARM architecture
Many guides are available for writing ARM programs in the ever-popular C programming language, but few are written that address pure assembler. I'm going to break tradition for the purpose of this article and write an example program in pure assembler—something usually considered the "black art" of programming. It is a simple "Hello World" type of program targeted to a unique version of ARM Linux.
The example program described in this article is designed to run on the T-Mobile G1 mobile phone running Android Linux. It is generically written so that it should run on other ARM-based Linux platforms, as well (making only standard system calls). However, the minimal version of the Linux kernel that you'll need to use is version 2.6.16, which allows you to use the new Embedded Application Binary Interface (EABI) kernel system calls.
Note: To read a good article on programming the ARM for bare metal instead of under Linux, see the link to the Embedded.com article in Related topics.
Using your favorite editor, create a script called build using the
code in Listing 3. This script runs the GNU ARM assembler, followed by the
linker. The goal in creating this program was to make it into a very tiny
executable, so I stripped it of all debugging information with the linker
--strip-all. After creating the script, make it
executable by issuing the
chmod +x build command.
Listing 3. Build the ARM Linux Hello World application
#!/bin/bash echo Building the ARM Linux Hello World... arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as -alh -o hw.o hw.S > hw.lst arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld --strip-all -o hw hw.o
After this, create the source module, called hw.S, and put the code in Listing 4 into it.
Listing 4. ARM Linux Hello World
@filename: hw.S .text .align 2 .global _start @ ssize_t sys_write(unsigned int fd, const char * buf, size_t count) @ r7 r0 r1 r2 _start: adr r1, msg @ Address mov r0, #1 @ STDOUT mov r2, #16 @ Length mov r7, #4 @ sys_write svc 0x00000000 @ int sys_exit(int status) @ r7 r0 mov r0, #0 @ Return code mov r7, #1 @ sys_exit svc 0x00000000 .align 2 msg: .asciz "Hello Android!\n\n"
In GNU assembler parlance, the "at" sign (
@) is used to
designate line comments. The assembler ignores everything after the
@ up to the end of the line.
The program uses two standard Linux system calls:
sys_exit. Above the assembler code in each of these calls
is the C language equivalent of it in commented form. This makes it easier
to see the how the ARM registers properly map into the calling parameters
that the system calls use. The rule to remember is, parameters go left to
r0 to
r6. Register
r7 is
special in that this is where you place the system call number being
svc 0x00000000 instruction tells the ARM processor to call
the "supervisor," which in this case is the Linux kernel.
Testing the ARM program
The toolchain provides the ever-popular GDB for debugging low-level programs. When the program is targeted for a single-board computer with a JTAG or ICE unit attached, you can use the Sourcery G++ Lite debugger (gdb) to debug the ARM code remotely.
If you wish to test the code as I did—on the Android Linux system
running on a mobile phone—you need to attach the phone to the
workstation using the USB cable that came with it, then use the Android
software development kit's (SDK's)
adb push command to
transfer the program to the phone. Once on the phone, in a directory that
can contain executable code (/data/local/bin), make the program executable
by issuing the
chmod 555 hw command. (The
command on Android doesn't use
+x, so
555 is
necessary, instead.)
Finally, use the
adb shell command to connect to the phone,
cd to change to the correct directory, and run it with
./hw. If all goes according to plan, the program should
respond as it did on my phone, by greeting you with "Hello Android!"
If this small taste of ARM assembly programming interests you, feel free to learn more about this processor design from the links provided in Related topics. The best resource for in-depth study of the ARM core is the Bible of ARM development, the ARM ARM, which is short for ARM Architecture Reference Manual.
For the career-minded, consider this: There are millions upon millions of mobile phones in the world today, with more being created each year. The state of the art has gotten to the point that we are actually able to carry around in our pockets a dual-core processor machine with multiple gigabytes of storage, fully networked into the Internet for instant information and entertainment. There is a crying demand among mobile phone vendors for talented programmers. With ARM as prevalent as it is, there's plenty of work to be done—and it's fun work, too! As always, feel free to have fun with the tools and enjoy yourself. Programming is part art, part science, and can be one of the most enjoyable careers in the business of technology.

Émile Benveniste : biography
Émile Benveniste ( 27 March 1902 – 3 October 1976) was a French structural linguist and semiotician.
He is best known for his work on Indo-European languages and his expansion of the linguistic paradigm established by Saussure. Initially studying under Antoine Meillet, a former student of Ferdinand de Saussure, at the Sorbonne, he began teaching at the École Pratique des Hautes Études and was elected to the Collège de France a decade later in 1937 as professor of linguistics. By this time he had already begun his investigation into the status of names within the history of Indo-European linguistic forms. He held his seat at the Collège de France until 1969 when he retired due to deteriorating health. However, he served as the first President of the International Association for Semiotic Studies from 1969 to 1972.
Benveniste was born in Aleppo, Aleppo Vilayet, Ottoman Syria. At the start of his career, his highly specialised and technical work limited his influence to a small circle of scholars. The publication of his monumental text, Problèmes de linguistique générale or Problems in General Linguistics, would elevate his position to much wider recognition. The two volumes of this work appeared in 1966 and 1974 respectively. The book exhibits not only scientific rigour but also a lucid style accessible to the layman, consisting of various writings culled from a period of more than twenty-five years. In Chapter 5, Animal Communication and Human Language, Benveniste refutes behaviourist linguistic interpretations by demonstrating that human speech, unlike the so-called languages of bees and other animals, cannot be merely reduced to a stimulus-response system.
The I–you polarity is another important development explored in the text. The third person acts under the conditions of possibility of this polarity between the first and second persons. Narration and description illustrate this.
- "I signifies "the person who is uttering the present instance of the discourse containing I." This instance is unique by definition and has validity only in its uniqueness ... I can only be identified by the instance of discourse that contains it and by that alone."
You, on the other hand, is defined in this way:
- "by introducing the situation of "address," we obtain a symmetrical definition for you as "the individual spoken to in the present instance of discourse containing the linguistic instance of you." These definitions refer to I and you as a category of language and are related to their position in language." — from Problems in General Linguistics
A pivotal concept in Benveniste's work is the distinction between the énoncé and the énonciation, which grew out of his study on pronouns. The énoncé is the statement independent of context, whereas the énonciation is the act of stating as tied to context. In essence, this distinction moved Benveniste to see language itself as a "discursive instance" — fundamentally as discourse. This discourse is, in turn, the actual utilisation, the very enactment, of language.
One of the founders of structuralism, Roland Barthes, attended Benveniste's seminars at École Pratique. Pierre Bourdieu was instrumental in publishing Benveniste's other masterpiece, Vocabulaire des Institutions Indo-Européennes in his series Le Sens Commun at radical publisher Les Éditions de Minuit (1969). The title is deceiving: It is not a "vocabulary" but a comprehensive and comparative analysis of key social behaviors and institutions across Germanic, Romanesque, Greek and Roman, Old Iranian and Indian cultures, using the words ("vocables") that denote them as points of entry. It hovers over philology, anthropology, phenomenology and sociology. A number of contemporary French philosophers often refer to Benveniste's Vocabulaire and are inspired by his methodology and distinction between signification and designation (Barbara Cassin, Nicole Loraux, Philippe-Joseph Salazar, François Jullien, Marc Crépon). Jacques Derrida's famous work on "hospitality, the Other, the enemy" is an explicit "gloss" on Benveniste's ground-breaking study of host/hostility/hospitality in the Vocabulary (Chapter 7) (Jacques Derrida, On Hospitality, 2000).
Benveniste died in Paris, aged 74.

Eliot Spitzer (legal name: Client #9) was the former Governor for the state of New York but now is simply Colbert's bitch. He is well known for his good ol' family values, and for being an unrepentant whore monger. Thawed out of ice a mere decade ago, the neanderthal has learned to live a normally corrupt political life, mostly off of kickbacks from the music industry, despite the physically obvious evidence of his disability as a primitive humanoid.
Brother of Missy, he prefers to be called Sir Eliot. He appeared as a guest on the November 7, 2005 edition of The Colbert Report, where Stephen predicted Spitzer would be elected Governor of the Empire State without even knowing who his opponents would be. That's right, Stephen called it.
But more importantly, he was a judge for The Shred Off between Stephen Colbert and Chris Funk of the hyper-literate indie rock band The Decemberists on the December 20, 2006 edition of The Colbert Report. Spitzer has no bias against shredding or contemporary pop music, and he encouraged both Funk and Colbert to Bring The Noise. He is a member and founder of the Pimpin' Politicians Association. His half brother is Rod Blagojevich.
The SchadenfreudeEdit
On March 12, 2008 at 11:30 A.M., Spitzer announced he was resigning from the Governorship, in order to spend more time with his family, effective March 17, 2008 (St. Patrick's Day).
Son Of Schadenfreude?Edit
It seems Mr. Spitzer was investigating Wall Street when he wasn't cheating on his wife, the bastard. Nonetheless, it was a great thing for America's economy and Mrs. Spitzer that Eliot was never able to carry out his dastardly deed against the innocent free market.

Yesterday wasn't a good night to eat out in London. Many of the city's top chefs, mixologists and restaurateurs had taken the evening off to gather on Bermondsey Street — along with street food traders, farmers, growers, drinks makers, food bloggers and writers — to hear the results of the second annual Young British Foodies awards.
Founded by an industry triumvirate consisting of food PR Amy Thorne, Metro's food editor Chloe Scott-Moncrieff and oft controversial master baker Lily Vanilli, the awards aim to seek out and put the spotlight on individuals who are pushing boundaries to make us re-evaluate the way we see food, or to simply make it the best that it can be.
Aside from being exceptional at what they do, entrants are required only to be young at heart and British in location. Winners were picked from nine categories, each judged by experts in their fields, and the diversity of those in the running — most of whom were from the capital — is in no small way a reflection of London's dynamic, exciting and world-leading food scene.
In the hotly contested Street Food category, Netil Market's Bao scooped the top spot for their insanely addictive Taiwanese steamed pork buns, with wrap-making legends Rola Wala not far behind. In the Baking category, Maltby Street vendors Poppy & Sebastian took the prize for their elaborate, French-inspired tarts and pastries.
Chris Young won an honorary award for his grassroots work with the supermarket sliced-white-eschewing Real Bread Campaign, while at the other end of the technological spectrum, sciencey clever clogs Gastrophonic picked up a Foodie Oscar for their mind-bending work that pairs together food, drink, sound and light.
There were two winners in the Food Writing category, and it was all about south of the river with Peckham obsessive Helen Graves, writer of the blog Food Stories, sharing the prize with Brixton blogger Miss South. Moving from pen to pan, it was Giles Clark who cleaned up in the Chefs category, recognised for his work in the kitchens of Koya and St John Bread and Wine. We'd bet a tidy sum that we'll all be a lot more familiar with his name by the time the awards come round again next year.
While chefs have always been London's domain, it's hard to imagine a few years ago that London would have any standing in a room full of world-class food producers and crafters. But such is the food revolution that's underway in our city, that the shortlist was heaving with London-centric foodies of all definitions, from London-made mead to inner-city sausage producers, not to mention the likes of Brockley Market, which is easily among the country's best. Bath, Bristol and Wales may have got a little look-in last night, but there's no denying that these awards really were a capital affair.

The Naked Truth
It is rare to see one of my frames stripped of its paint. This custom 'dave moulton' Criterium frame was recently bought on eBay in this already stripped condition. Only 36 of the Criterium model were built.
This frame was designed with lateral stiffness in mind, for fast sprinting out of corners, etc. For this reason it has oversize seatstays, and this modified track fork crown. (Picture above.) The Columbus oval fork blades were re-formed round at the top to fit this crown, which is engraved with my four "m" logo.
(Above.) All California built custom frames from 1982 on, had my name engraved in the bottom bracket shell.
(Above.) Nice sharp points on the lug work. Those diamond shaped bridge re-enforcers were hand cut and shaped from the off-cuts from chainstays.
(Above.) Rear drop-out detail.
(Above.) The rear brake bridge. Again the re-enforcers were hand cut from a scrap piece of tubing. They were never measured exactly, but cut and shaped until the pair matched. The bridge itself is a straight piece of 1/2 inch diameter chrome molly tube. The little barrel shaped center was cutom made for me by a machine shop in Worcester, England, and I brought a box of them with me when I came to the US in 1979.
(Above.) The seat lug and seatstay top eyes. Again roughly measured, and filed with a large round file to accept an off cut from a piece of head tube, which was then brazed in place and shaped untill the pair matched when held up side by side.
These little hand made touches were what made each custom frame different and special. Each frame was slightly different from another, because these little extras were purly decerative. As long as one side matched the opposite side, they didn't need to be precise.
The frame is now owned by Jack Gabus who plans to have it re finished. I appreciate him sharing these photos of the frame in its current state.
Footnote: Just this week, Mitch Pullen set up a group Facebook page for owners of frames I built. Lots of pictures already posted over there. Click here to take a look.

Strictly Come Dancing star Colin Salmon reveals ballet secret
STRICTLY'S very own James Bond hunk Colin Salmon has been hiding a secret from fans.
When he was a child he wanted to be a ballet dancer but it wasn't considered acceptable for him then.
Colin, 49, admits he would rather be in a tutu like Billy Elliot than a 007 action hero.
His dancing partner Kristina Rihanoff, 35, revealed that actor Colin has always wanted to be a ballet dancer.
She said: "When he was a child he wanted to be a ballet dancer but it wasn't considered acceptable for him then.
"He is living his dream on Strictly."
Kristina thinks Colin, who has appeared in several Bond and Resident Evil films, is in with a good chance of winning.
She explained: "He has natural grace and rhythm."
And she claims her boxer boyfriend Joe Calzaghe – whom she met on the BBC show – isn't worried about her being partnered with Colin.
She laughed: "Joe is not jealous. He likes Colin."
Strictly starts on Friday when half of the celebrities will be dancing.
However, their training has not been without mishaps after Johnny Ball's partner Aliona Vilani broke her leg and some have gone down with flu.
Kristina said: "We all get sick at some point but we just have to try to battle through."
The stars will also be taken aback when Kristina invites them to "cop a feel". That is because she is an ambassador for the breast cancer charity Coppafeel! and is helping Panache launch a new limited edition pink sports bra.
She said: "With all the exercise I do, it is important to get good support for your breasts and this bra is great."
● Kristina's pink sports bra in aid of the breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel! is available at panachesport.com.

What is the most effective core exercise? It is easy to be bombarded with the "best core workout" claims but in the end effective core work comes down to the specifics of how you are performing the exercise more than the exercise itself. Choose an exercise, perform it with precision and control and that will stand a much better chance of giving you the results you are after. [clickToTweet tweet="Choose an exercise, perform it with precision and control @edenpilates #pilates #workout" quote="Choose an exercise, perform it with precision and control!"]
So with this in mind. Here are a few tips on how to do a safer, more effective abdominal curl.
Get Your Position Right If you are keeping your feet on the ground keep your pelvis neutral, meaning keep a natural space behind your lower back. This is smaller than you might think. It involves the bottom 5 vertebrae of your spine and no more than that. In order to make sure your haven't exaggerated your neutral position make sure you feel the bottom back of your rib cage staying gently connected with the mat at all times. Elbows in line with your temples, not forced open. Performing the exercise with good alignment helps to ensure the right muscles are working and that those muscles are working as effectively as possible. You will get better results, faster!
Activate The Inside First. Before beginning your curl think of lifting up from the base of your pelvis while simultaneously sinking just above your pubic bone. This action "turns on" your pelvic floor (kegels) and transversus (deepest layer of abdominal) muscles . These muscles work together to play a large role in stabilizing your spine so activating and strengthening them improves back pain and helps to prevent injury. It is also the combo action of the pelvic floor and transversus that work to shrink your waistline and flatten your stomach because they contract inward when used properly. They don't always activate automatically though! Most people need to engage them before the movement begins to ensure they are working at all!
Let the Abs Lead Let your abdominal muscles be what carry you through the movement. Think of them being what pull your head and shoulders off the mat and what resists as you lower back to it. Try not to use you neck or your legs to assist the movement. Keep the exercise isolated to abs alone. This retrains muscles that shouldn't work, to relax and keeps the work where it needs to be (in your core). Isolating the abs by trying to let go of anything else that wants to assist forces your abdominal muscles to work as hard as they can so you are getting the most out of each rep thereby making your workout much more effective.
Use Your Breath to Lead You Deeper Start your breath out a moment before you move. Your exhale helps your core activate. Follow this flow: 1. Breath leads to abs 2. abs lead to movement While you are flexed up use a deep inhale to challenge your abs further. Think of the bottom of your rib cage opening 3 dimensionally as you stay flexed up and keep your abs working (not popping out). Breathing in while you stay flexed up teaches your abs to stay engaged while you breathe. Your body learns how to keep the abs strong at all times even when you aren't thinking about it. Consistent abdominal support is integral to lower back pain recovery and injury prevention and feeling like your stomach is strong day-to-day feels fantastic.
Pay Attention to 'the How' Work slowly and methodically. Don't let momentum carry you from one rep to the next. Remember it's not just about using your abs it's HOW you are using them that really counts. Think of contracting inward and flattening them as you workout not just contracting them any way they want to. Training your abs to flatten during the exercise, not push out, works your core right down to the deepest of abdominal layers. Working your muscles this way consistently is what will give you the results you are after.
Following these simple steps will help you get the most out of every rep you do.

Complex businesses run on processes, but in many cases processes aren't in place or need to be improved. In this two day workshop, the project of deciding and implementing what process to create or improve is explored. Trainees plan, analyse, redesign, implement, and decide how to continuously improve a process. They learn about how this change impacts stakeholders and common risks when trying to modify processes.
Finally, they decide on a real world process that they would like to change and have the opportunity to present their plan to their classmates, with the ultimate goal of bringing this into their jobs.
This course is designed to:
• Clarify the purpose of process management
• Offer some process management tools
• Get staff thinking about how they can manage processes to increase customer satisfaction
• Increase awareness of how processes impact multiple stakeholders
All modules in this program are based on ClarkMorgan's TAPE methodology, ensuring trainees practice the techniques and are evaluated by the trainer before moving to the next skill.

Julie McLean, head of marketing at the UK's leading plumbing and heating merchant, Plumb and Parts Center, says it's crucial for industry to support and encourage young people into taking up apprenticeships. Indeed Plumb and Parts Center, and parent company Wolseley UK, do more than just talk about support, they put it into practice with their popular and growing Customer Service apprenticeships and graduate schemes. To date the apprenticeship scheme has seen 21 apprentices go on to take full-time sales roles within one of its UK-wide network of branches, the majority in the Plumb and Parts team. One of Plumb and Parts Center's newest apprentices, Courtney Grant-Davidson works at the Ascot Drive branch in Derby and is 16 months into his 24-month apprenticeship which he describes as "fun and challenging". Courtney is enjoying working at Plumb and Parts Center which he sees as a stepping-stone to his longer-term plans in sales. He says he has learnt a lot since he joined the company where he is encouraged to ask questions, ask for help but also to use his own initiative. Courtney says that his apprenticeship has given him precious experience and he has received fantastic support, while admitting that he has fallen for his fair share of customer and colleague tricks – don't remind him about left-handed screwdrivers. When asked if he would recommend taking an apprenticeship at Plumb and Parts Center Courtney said he would, especially if candidates enjoy talking to people and learning new things. Courtney has also already gained useful practical qualifications, including qualifying on an electric forklift in his first week and is keen to take advantage of every training opportunity. He said: "Working at Plumb and Parts Center has been a learning curve and that will continue. I'm ambitious and believe that if you want something, go and get it yourself."

The third article I read in The New York Times was by LaShaun Williams, a columnist and blogger who writes about parenting and culture. The name of her article is "Good Riddance to Feminism!" In her article she spoke to women being unable to be powerful professional women and good mothers too. She believes women cannot have both and that is why working mothers have feelings of guilt and inadequacy. She also believes the "feminism movement" is responsible for encouraging women to follow their dreams, devalue marriage and family, causing them to choose self-indulgence. She also stated she didn't think all working mothers were bad mothers but the feminist climate pressures women to work. LaShaun stated, "the damage that attachment parenting is doing to feminism is a good thing. "Her stand is that when we as women bring children into the world we should sacrifice parts of ourselves". She also feels parts of feminism deserve to be re-examined because it has marred some of what it means to be a woman. She says she is not saying attachment parenting is the best method or demonizing working moms, but she just wants to highlight its support of being a strong presence in a child's life. Do you think working moms have forgotten that family comes first? Do you think that being a working mom is about a career or monetary necessity?
Why Does Feminism Have to Be a Dirty Word?

How can Bridport feed itself?
"We lack hard, contemporary data on the real economic value of Bridport's food sector," says Candida Blaker, project co-ordinator. "Where do people spend their money on food? How much of this is local food from local businesses? And what's the potential to shift towards a more circular economy? This would keep more of the money we spend on food circulating locally, thus increasing levels of income and creating more jobs. These are the kinds of questions we will be asking."
Building on existing research, and on community engagement work by Linda Hull on the People's Wishlist for the Future of Food and the Spend a Tenner Locally campaign, CLS partners are now seeking to engage businesses directly on what would make the food economy healthier.
"In particular, we're keen to examine how the lively food sector here could offer more high quality opportunities for the youth," says Jonny Gordon Farleigh, project researcher. "There is great potential to stem the flow of our young people away from the area by investing in strengthening our local food system.
How Can Bridport Feed Itself? aims to:
Provide evidence for strategic plans for food and drink locally;
Publish baseline data and a set of indicators to show change over time;
Identify activities to take advantage of economic opportunities within the next 3 years;
Strengthen and enhance local supply chains;
Build a coalition of partners to turn these opportunities into reality;
Help to secure investment.
"The "How Can Bridport Feed Itself?" study will put the food economy and food security firmly on the town agenda and dovetail into Bridport's new Economic Plan," says Linda Hull, project researcher. To answer this question and others, CLS will be staging a Stakeholder Forum in mid-September in central Bridport to hear from various unique perspectives and to pool expertise. "It's very timely work as we begin to grapple with the post-Brexit implications for food and we hope it will generate project initiatives for inclusion in future funding bids."

The new reality?
The rate of change is increasing.
Disruption - the more overdue change is - the more sudden it appears & catches you offguard.
The rate of change is increasing.
Disruption - the more overdue change is - the more sudden it appears & catches you offguard.
Two options -
- Expensive but use my product or none....
- A new product crosses over into a different market, at a lower cost
- bendable bateries, wearable technology
- ubiquitous computing - computers disappear and become part of life, clothes, watches, walls, smart buildings, quantum dot solar panel windows
- Population increasess by 1 billion people from 6, 534 to 7, 518
- Shrinking working population - too may old people
- 200,000,000 25 - 34 year olds with degrees - same qualifications
- The old model of trade has gone - University degree @ Canterbury for thousands of dollars or go online e.g. MIT then get your learning examined at a different centre. Free qualification & learning from home!
- Indian graduates have the same qualification and willing to work at 1/4 the price - Global Village!
Digital Divide - 1st world countries have cheap devices and Internet access. Develping countries not so much access - this is changing. Wifi solutions for countries - Internet balloons etc. The wold world will eb Wifi enabled very soon.
If you have a device and the Internet - can you educate yourself? Hole in the wall project.
Heutagogy - approach of kids can teach themselves. Self education is now becoming a reality.
If we can learn ourselves - what's the role of Key Competencies?
1. Literacy, numeracy, science ICT social and financial literacy.
2. Character traits... grit...
1. Literacy, numeracy, science ICT social and financial literacy.
2. Character traits... grit...
In 20 years time - with mathematics became a recreational activity? Will coding be more important?
Opportunities and risks for our students:
- must be open to new learning and change - slow adopter or use the tools available today and the new ones as they arise
- World of Apps - constantly changing and throw away when no longer needed
- positive mindset
How do we accommodate this world in the way we teach?
- Multiple jobs, pick up new specific skills and discard them daily
- How can augmented reality support this learning?
Augmented Reality - a digital overlay over the real world - e.g. details about the stars n the sky.
Virtual Reality - virtual word with some real life aspects overlayed.
Class Notes:
There are many approaches that can be used to bring learning to life through augmented reality
There are many approaches that can be used to bring learning to life through augmented reality
- A Student Photo Wall: Set up a display of student photos in the classroom linked to a personal student videos about the individual student that can be shared with parents and visitors.
- Book Reviews: Have students record a video of themselves giving an review of a book. The trigger image to launch the video review could be the book cover, a picture of the student or an image they have drawn. Afterward, other students/teachers can scan the cover of the book and instantly access the review.
- Parent or Inspiring Role message: Source a recording from an inspirational speaker or record a message from a parent/friend of the student that provides words of encouragement to the student. Attach a trigger image to student desks or cover of their books.
- Year books/School magazines: Add an AR to printed school publications and include video profiles from sports events, school plays or award ceremonies as a rich memory of school activities.
- Word Definition Walls: Students can record themselves providing the definitions to different vocabulary words on a word wall.
- Lab Safety/Safety Messages: Put trigger images linked to safety videos around a science laboratory/workshop so that when students scan them, they can learn the different safety procedures and protocols within the learning environment.
Building a Community Garden - an innovation or not?
Innovation requires putting students' ideas or solutions into practice in the real world. For example, it IS innovation if students design and build a community garden on the grounds of their school; just designing the garden is NOT innovation.
In cases where students do not have the authority to implement their own ideas, it is innovation ONLY if students convey their ideas to people outside the classroom context who can implement them. For example, it IS innovation if students present their ideas for building a community garden in a public park in their town to a local environmental group or to local officials, but NOT if students design a community garden for that public park and only share their plans with their teacher and classmates.
Innovation also benefits people other than the student; it has value beyond meeting the requirements of a classroom exercise. The townspeople who tend the new garden in the public park and the teenagers who attend the rewritten Shakespeare play benefit from students' efforts, for example.
It also counts as innovation if students create a project for a science fair or submit an original poem to a regional poetry contest, for example, because the fair and contest are not educator-controlled and have real audiences who are interested in and may benefit from the students' work.

How can we use VR in schools?
- Art work - explanation from the artist
- 2D technical drawing not detailed enough - make a 3D version or model that can be a walked through e.g. architect modelling a house
- School - focus on construction of atoms, famous buildings, battles (Minecraft), life cycle of a frog, flight simulator - using the expertise of the students to unpack the learning, using real sources and manipluating them.

What are the barriers to using technology in class?
What models are there for this in the classroom?
- We need to embed this process into the strategic plan
- Artists - free souls
- Adaptive competence - knowledge workers to innovate for our employers (Teachers s there is a definate end expectaion.)
- Delivered competence - workers are the owners,
SAMR Model:
Do we just use ICT to reproduce drill and skill worksheets? How can we use ICT to totally throw the task on its head and integrate collaboration? The new experience could not happen without the technology e.g. live through a volcanic erruption or walk to the South Pole, ask real explorers questions as they are walking to the Pole.
TPACK Model:
When we are teaching there are different aspects involved. Where do knowledge, pedagogy and knowledge of technology overlap? How can we balance our knowledge in all areas e.g. history - history channel videos - used in an effective pedagogical way.

PM could order strike on nuclear targets within weeks
- Iranian TV announces upgrades to short-range missiles and more powerful naval engine
- Fateh-110 missile with range of about 180 miles included in upgrades
- Israel has said it is contemplating air strikes on Iran's nuclear sites
By MATTHEW KALMAN and TIM SHIPMAN
DAILY MAIL 21 August 2012
Israel is planning a military strike against Iran's nuclear programme before November, security sources in Israel have claimed.
British officials say prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has begun a process of 'sounding out' his voters to gauge support for airstrikes and build a case for military action.
Alon Ben-David, the well-informed military correspondent for Israel's Channel 10 News, claimed on Monday that the country was 'closer than ever' to a strike against Iran.
Israeli leaders believe that President Obama, locked in a close election battle with Republican Mitt Romney, would be forced to back an Israeli strike – even though US military chiefs are against it – for fear of alienating Jewish voters in key swing states such as Florida.
Tensions grew yesterday when Iranian leaders displayed a new arsenal of Fateh-110 short-range missiles designed to destroy targets within 180 miles, including US warships in the Persian Gulf.
Western intelligence agencies are watching the regime in Tehran closely after senior figures described Israel as 'a cancer' that should be 'wiped off the map' at the weekend.
The hardware was presented at a ceremony attended by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Yesterday Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said: 'I have no doubt that our defensive capabilities can stand up to bullying and put a halt to their plans.'
Mr Netanyahu has described the Islamist country's nuclear ambitions as 'an existential threat' that could be used to destroy the Jewish state.
But British and American security chiefs believe military action would spark a lethal Middle East conflict.
Last week, US defence secretary Leon Panetta and the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey, held an unprecedented briefing at the Pentagon to warn against an Israeli strike.
'They could delay but not destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities,' General Dempsey said. This week he added that the US and Israel had reached 'different conclusions' about the imminent threat from Iran.
British diplomats and intelligence chiefs believe Mr Netanyahu is preparing the ground for possible military action but stress they have no foreknowledge of any attack.
'We would not expect to know anything about it in advance,' one official said. 'It is not even clear whether they would tell the Americans until very close to the act itself, or possibly slightly after it.'
Western intelligence agencies doubt whether an Israeli strike alone would be enough to destroy the Iranian nuclear programme, but they acknowledge that Israel believes even delaying it might be a price worth paying.
'It looks like Netanyahu is having a very vocal conversation about this to build the case for action or to test the ground with his own electorate, or possibly both,' the official said.
The UK has also sent the message that an escalating roster of economic sanctions against Iran should be used to encourage them to back down.
Even senior Israeli defence and intelligence figures, including the recently-retired head of the Mossad spy agency, have opposed an Israeli attack.
Military analysts have warned that, without US bunker-busting bombs and other vital armaments, Israel cannot destroy Iran's well-defended nuclear installations.
But Mr Netanyahu appears determined to strike.
'From the prime minister's point of view, the time for action is getting ever closer,' Ben-David said.
Behind the scenes, a shadow intelligence war appears to be escalating. Key Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated or disappeared and Iran's computer networks have been infiltrated by a series of sophisticated viruses apparently designed to sabotage control systems at its nuclear research facilities.

Hi, I'm Rachael Pontillo.
I help women reclaim their skin, sense of Self, and world so they can love who they are and live their lives.
10 Questions You Need to Ask About Your Skincare Brand
I was nervous that creating skincare would be too complicated. I was blown away at how easy Rachael makes it for her students to create without frustration and in a relaxed way. She lays everything out with detailed, easy to follow steps. One of my favorite things about the program is that Rachael is so hands on. I feel like I have launched a spa experience right in my own home. I cannot recommend this program enough! Anyone who is fed up with trying to find ways to have beautiful skin, needs to look no further. Rachael has you covered!Abby Mason
I remember being a young teenager—about 13 years old—feeling that feeling you get when you know someone's staring. I looked over and the girl next to me was indeed staring. "What?" I asked. She responded, "Nothing." And then looked away. But then I looked back her way and again, met her eyes. She was still staring. In my mind and heart, I knew she was staring at my zits. I'd seen other girls point and giggle in the girls' room. I'd heard what they said about me. In my mind I could still feel her staring, long after I'd passed her by. Staring, judging.
This conversation happened many times from my adolescent years all the way into my early 30s. Sometimes it happened out loud with another person, but more often it happened in my own mind, between me and my own reflection.
My parents, teachers, and doctors told me "Don't worry, you'll grow out of it." But I didn't—my breakouts continued into my thirties.
Of course I learned to cover my blemishes with makeup, but I could still see the acne underneath. I could still feel it. I still knew it was there and those conversations in my mind continued. And even after it finally improved, I still felt flawed and insecure–and anytime I'd see someone staring at me, I'd immediately feel the same feelings of shame and embarrassment. Even though the acne was physically long gone.
While I was living with the constant challenge of adult acne, I also struggled with post-baby weight gain, which did even more of a number on my self-confidence. Before I gained the weight, constantly treating and covering up the acne and hating my reflection just become a part of my daily routine. But I always told myself "at least I have a great body." Not being able to lose the weight with diets and products being sold to me by advertisements, celebrities, trainers, and doctors was the final blow—and it was a wakeup call that clearly what I was being sold had nothing to do with what my body actually needed.
Enough is enough.
I took a long, honest look at myself and realized that since my body didn't respond to conventional products, fad diets, or generic advice, I'd have to take matters into my own hands.
I also realized that it was time to stop feeling sorry for myself and believing that there was something wrong with me. I took action and began to research skin and nutrition. I went back to school for my aesthetics license, and Integrative Nutrition® Health Coaching certification and gained knowledge that contradicted pretty much everything I had ever been told or sold about nutrition.
I also started studying metaphysics which led me to understand that there's nothing flawed about me, because I come from the same source that created everything else that exists in perfection in nature and this Universe. I'm a part of it and it's a part of me; and as perfect as the smoothest petal is on the reddest rose, so perfect am I.
Once I embraced that, the other stuff fell right into place. I changed my diet, began making my own skincare products, and upgraded just about every area of my lifestyle because I knew I was worth it. I was able to reclaim my skin, the self I thought I'd lost, and change my whole world.
After just a month of making simple changes to my diet and mindset, I began to lose weight and my skin cleared up completely. I lost 80 pounds after 18 months and have kept it off for more than 5 years now. I'm not afraid of the acne or the weight coming back because now I know how to give my skin, body, and spirit what it needs—and I'm not afraid to look in the mirror because I truly love and honor the strong woman looking back.
When I began my coaching practice and saw the same results happen for client after client, I realized that my experience was no fluke—this stuff works, and I believe it's my life's work. For years, I've devoted my career to helping other women take their skin, health, and lives back into their own hands, and free themselves from negative thought processes like self-sabotage, inadequacy, and low self-confidence.
After just a couple months of working with Rachael and using her customized products, my blemishes cleared mostly and my skin started looking healthy! I had spent years torturing my skin with harsh chemicals that it was so inflamed, red and oily. I'm happy to know I am also "feeding" my skin now.Jessie Lewis
Rachael is so warm, understanding, and encouraging; I couldn't ask for anything more in a coach. She knows how to ask just the right questions to help me uncover exactly what it is that's holding me back from my dreams. Choosing her as my coach was one of the best decisions I've ever made.Jaimie Edmunds
But I'm not going to stop there…
and that's because, quite frankly, I'm pissed off!
What started out being about skincare has become about so much more.
I know that there are still millions of women out there who feel ugly, flawed, and less than perfect. Women who long for the feeling of being cared for and nurtured, but don't feel deserving of self-care or self-love.
Too many women suffer with low self-image, lack of confidence, and self-loathing, and it's got to stop. And I'm fed up that the entertainment, food, healthcare, and cosmetics industries aren't doing enough to help them. In fact, by selling them products made with unhealthy chemical ingredients and toxins, and creating unhealthy and unrealistic images in pop culture, these industries are not only making matters worse–they're stifling the collective female spirit.
Well, no more. The time has come for us women to take it all back–to reclaim our spirit, our beauty, our skin, ourselves, our lives. The time to be strong and soft, warriors and healers, mothers and lovers, CEOs and dreamers.
I was able to heal my skin, body, and spirit–and reclaim my sovereignty–when I took matters into my own hands. Since then, I've lived each day with confidence, empowerment, and as an embodied, powerful female role model to my own daughters, and other women and girls. I can help you do the same.
I've Created the Skin-Self Mastery Method
A simple, step-by-step process that meets you where you're at, and gives you benefits you can touch, see, and feel at each stage, as you start to look and feel the way you want and deserve to.
The Skin-Self Mastery Method shows you how to:
- Figure out which foods make your body thrive and which make you wither
- Take a look at your skincare and self-care regimen and see where both little tweaks and big upgrades can make the biggest impact in the least amount of time
- Reboot your lifestyle and mindset—because let's be honest–we all need an attitude adjustment from time to time, and we all have some bad habits to lose.
These stages don't necessarily happen in order or begin when one ends—your process is as unique as you are, and you begin stages when the time is right for you. My role is to help reveal your path and guide you as you walk it.
Now, I want to help you.

Gender differences and inequalities have resulted in variations in health standing and health care between men and women. What is being eloquently described on this essay is a mass failure of dangerous health IT that's disrupting medical documentation, medical care (probably resulting in quite a few unhealthy outcomes), medical communications, medical education, medical morale, medical esprit de corps, medical recruting and retention, and the health of the neighborhood – amongst others.
If you do not want to buy and cook fresh beetroot, you possibly can always select to buy dietary supplements and beetroot juices, which it is best to find to be available in your local health meals store. Anyway it's confirmed that milk and gluten are answerable for many health issues including pores and skin issues and joint ache. In addition to the tragic toll in human lives, antibiotic resistant bacterial infections cost over $25 billion in direct health care prices, and over $35 billion in oblique costs as a result of lack of productiveness. The Jamaican, South African, Trinidadian, and South American have their own variations of rooster toes recipes.
As long as you've got tort legal professionals able to have jury trials for medical errors and acts of both fee and omission that result in multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars in payouts, you will be unable to cut back prices meaningfully within the health system. With their brilliant green colour, pistachios not only style great but additionally have implausible health benefits Pistachios have been proven to decrease and keep blood sugar ranges. Pulp is product of plenty of delicate membrane chambers containing lemon juice and this strong fluid comprises well known citric acid, very healthy for our digestion. Violence and discrimination may have negative health consequences for ladies.
Health threats do not operate on a predictable timeline, nor do they recognize borders, which is why rapid motion and international coordination is so important. With little worth discovery left in health care, health insurers should do all the price negotiation in a vacuum. I've not seen President Trump shrink from a combat earlier than, and whether or not you prefer it or not, health care, not Russia, would be the defining issue of his presidency. Second, health insurance often covers small, random expenses, similar to a physician's go to for a child with an earache. As an illustration, I had a coworker who had to work by bout after bout of chemotherapy for most cancers, because if she stopped working for too long she would lose our employer-provided insurance firm.
Expensive anonymous, 50-60 years in the past most of today costly remedies and tools didn't exist, you cannot examine then and now with out taking this under consideration. Since all of these advantages can be found to everyone, I never heard Canadians speaking about capping their incomes to remain decrease earnings and never lose their authorities supplied health protection. I think crucial part of a healthy life-style is to make sure that you have a balanced weight loss program. What we need in health care is to push that high quality-cost-innovation frontier back. Beside its health advantages, the wild quail additionally advantages nature by its gentle presence.

Ter Ter's email addyIf anyone from the old board would like to connect with Ter Ter (Terry) she has emailed me and given me permission to put this out on the board: firstname.lastname@example.com
I've been hoping she'd post herself but I'm not sure she's going to access the board or not.
It's great to see more pictures and especially of quilts. They really add such visual pleasure to the new Chat Board.
Everything is greening up here in Southern Ontario, Canada, the grass is growing fast and will need to be cut soon. We seem to go from one end of the month with snow and shoveling it to green grass growing too fast and needing to be cut.
Meg and Annie had a dust-up in their dog run today. They met and collided like two bear cubs and got carried away with themselves...almost into a real scrap. One word from headquarters here, as I have a good visual up to the dog run, and they parted immediately. Reminded me of my two kids the only time they had a fight when they were very young, tumbling around.

If you're wondering whether yams deserve a place on your dinner plate based on their nutrient value, the answer is yes. Yams are rich in fiber and contain several vitamins and minerals. Rest assured that yams can be a part of a healthy diet.
Where Yams Make an Impact
Yams are rich in carbohydrates, making them a great addition to a well-balanced lunch to fuel you through that afternoon slump. One-half cup contains about 20 grams of carbohydrates, your body's preferred energy source. Yams shine when it comes to minerals such as potassium, phosphorous, calcium and magnesium. Yams contain rich amounts of vitamin C as well. When it comes to fiber, yams stand out. The typical American fails to get the recommended amount of fiber each day. Aim to get at least 25 grams, suggests the American Heart Association. Based on this recommendation, 1 cup of cubed yams contains more than 25 percent of your daily fiber goal.

There are wonderful things happening in Twitterville these days. There is a whole movement within Social Networking and the Social Media for corporations and businesses to "get involved" or get "left behind". Quite simply, businesses are becoming more "transparent" to the consumer and actually getting into the whole online social scene. For example, one of my followers, @GuyKawasaki (a renowned entrepreneur and venture capitalist) wrote an extensive post here on how to gain more Twitter followers. He should know, he's at 27,000 followers and counting. You should also check out another one of my followers @JackBastide who has dedicated an entire blog to what he's has learned about Twitter and how you can benefit from it. I have many other who's whos in my list of followers. Be sure to follow them all.
Here are just a few notables (in no particular order) you should follow: @Jimconnolly @problogger @maxgladwell @zaibatsu @Scobleizer @garyvee @bloggersblog @socialmediaclub @MarkClayson @dmscott @bigmarketing @chrisbrogan @johnhaydon

BTW, if you are brand new to Twitter, you should read this post by @johnhaydon first: How to Avoid Being an *** on Twitter and Every Other Social Networking Site Too!
Thanks to @JackBastide for Tweeting about Lisa Nova (a YouTube celebrity). She created a hilarious spoof on what Twitter used to be like, and admittedly still is somewhat, depending on who you follow:
