One of the more popular questions we get from new actors is what type of job can you take that will allow you to remain free during the day to be available for auditions? Believe it or not, there are a number of great employment options out there for budding young actors. And no, not all involve serving food. Here are some potential positions to consider.

Waiter

Okay, not a surprise that waiting tables are an excellent way that newbie actors can earn their rent money while waiting for their starring role. But, the reason waiting tables is so popular is that you often have a flexible schedule that allows you to "trade shifts" with your co-workers should an audition suddenly come up.

Additionally, especially in Los Angeles, a number of the more trendy restaurants are hangouts for the Hollywood elite. So, it will give you an opportunity to mingle amongst the in crowd. And by the way, it's extremely rare, but there are still people who get "discovered" by working in a restaurant and coming across the right person at the right time.

Bartender

Assuming you're of age, bartending is a great way to earn a full-time income working part-time hours. Many bartenders who work at trendy clubs in Los Angeles and New York have been known to pull down over 100K per year. Seriously.

Office Temp

There are a number of companies in Los Angeles and New York City that work with entertainment companies to place temporary administrative workers. You will typically earn about $15-$20 per hour working as an assistant or secretary. These jobs can be quite valuable in that you may get to work directly (or very close to) some of the bigger decision makers in the fields of film and television. Considering that these are sometimes a day, week or month-long assignments, they allow you freedom to do the things you need to do with regard to your acting career.

Script Reader

Agencies, film companies, and production companies are bombarded with massive amounts of material. The executives running these companies can't possibly read the volume of stuff that crosses their desks, so they hire people to do it for them. This is often referred to as "coverage." It consists of a plot summary of the material and your overall opinion and whether or not you feel it's something the company that hired you should consider pursuing.

The amount you can charge for these services depends a lot on what you're reading (script, screenplay, novel, etc.). But the amounts are typically anywhere from $50-$500 -- $50 for a TV script and possibly as much as $500 for a large novel. There are a number of classes and books available on how to write good coverage, so they might be worth it if this sounds like something you might be interested in. Considering you pick your own hours, it's a popular choice.

Telemarketing

Hey, it's an ugly job, but believe it or not, it can pay the bills. You might even consider role-playing on one of the 1-900 phone companies. It's not the most respectable acting gig, but hey, there's money to be made if you need it.

Process Server

Lawyers and law firms are constantly in need of people that can provide "delivery" of a court summons. After all, unless a lawyer can "prove" beyond a shadow of a doubt that a summons to appear has been properly served (in person), then their whole case can fall apart. Lawyers pay anywhere from $150-$1500 for this service depending on how difficult they anticipate the service is going to be. Often it's nothing more than simply confirming that the person named on the document is the person you're speaking with and then handing them a copy of the summons and then collecting your check. Again, considering you make your own hours, this might be a road to consider.

Web Writer

If you have a way with words, you might look for opportunities for someone to pay you to write web related content. These jobs aren't as difficult to find as you think. You simply need to do a little research for the opportunity that feels right for you.

Provide a Service

From dog walker to pet sitting, to personal concierge, there are a number of unique services you can provide that people in New York and Los Angeles would be willing to pay top dollar for. You simply need to find a way to market yourself appropriately and then set up shop. If you do start your own service, be sure to protect yourself with all appropriate insurances, tax filings and by setting up a corporation (so none of your personal assets are at stake should something go awry).

Acting is a difficult skill to master and trying to find work in the field is even more difficult. So, you need to find work that will allow you the time you need to work on your craft as to take advantage of any last minute auditions. The list above has just a few of the options out there.

And it's the end of Sci Fi Month!
I've had so much fun writing these Sci Fi posts and getting to share them with you and read everyone else's Sci Fi posts. I actually just love Sci Fi a lot, so it was really cool getting to be apart of this. Thank you to Rinn Reads & Over the Effing Rainbow for hosting this awesome month!
I do wish I had been able to share more posts and interact with everyone a lot more this month, but for some reason I hit a wall and ended up in a blogging and reading slump. Perhaps it's because this is such a busy, social time of the year? I've been busy every weekend this month leaving me only nights to blog, and by that stage I'm tired and just want to binge watch Netflix (Can you believe I only just started getting into Dexter last week?! I'm hooked!).
I hope you all enjoyed the Sci Fi posts this month!

I had a lot of fun creating Sci Fi related bookstagram photos this month, I hope you enjoyed them too.
Oh the slump
For me this month was a really slow month writing blog-content wise. I've had no motivation to read blogs or read books let alone write blog posts. I'm not even sure why. It's lucky I had written all of my Sci Fi posts in advance, but now I have barely any content to post next month! December is also the busiest month of the year…
I have a feeling this will be a slow month blogging wise for me! And I'm really sorry about that, I'm going to slow the content right down because I'm so de-motivated right now! Better to be slow than post not so great content.

Russell Brand documentary Emperor's New Clothes is more lucid than most party political broadcasts
We may think we don't need Russell Brand to tell us that the rich in the UK are getting richer and that inequality is soaring.
Much of what the comedian and activist has to say in Winterbottom's new documentary seems very old-hat. That doesn't mean it isn't true.
This is a film made with the same crusading zeal and humour as Michael Moore's best docs.
Brand puts across a familiar message in a very lucid and entertaining fashion.
He enlists primary school kids to help explain the sheer unfairness of it all while also doing his best to embarrass the bankers during his "shop a banker campaign."
The film makes excellent use of archival material and presents its arguments with passion and coherence.
It certainly makes far better viewing than most of what the UK public is being forced to endure from its mainstream politicians during the current election campaign.

text: For my first post of 2011, I feel obligated to post the song that has defined my year so far. That song would undoubtably be Creepoid's "Hollow Doubt." Creepoid is a group from Philadelphia, which seems very fitting because they have a similar atmospheric to one of the city's current musical icons, Kurt Vile. Like Vile, the guitarist of Creepoid has a very large southern rock tone drowned in reverb. Unlike Vile, Creepoid's sound is stately, and there isn't a sense of emptiness. "Hollow Doubt" perfectly exemplifies the sort of overwhelming flood that is Creepoid's sound. The term Shoegaze seems to have become ambiguous and undefined to the point where it can be a description of any slightly atmospheric song. Despite this, it's hard not to shamelessly say it anyways.

Scottsdale, AZ (PressExposure) July 19, 2011 -- Scintillating, shocking, adorable - all words that describe King George VI's reign and the man, himself. That's why British Open Pub is joining all of England in celebrating Betfair's King George Day on July 23 with its own Snooty Tie and Prissy Hat Contest, and King George trivia games throughout the day.
The Betfair Weekend is a celebration at the Ascot, England's most famous horseracing establishment. During the weekend, people dress up in semi-formal attire. Men wear ties and women often don hats for the celebration.
"In honor of the Betfair Weekend and King George VI Day, we'll be running the Snooty Tie and Prissy Hat Contest all day," said Gregg Troilo.
People can enter any time during the day by coming into the British Open Pub and having their picture taken with their Snooty Tie or Prissy Hat on.
"At 8 p.m., we'll be announcing the winners and giving away the prizes," said Gregg Troilo, owner of British Open Pub in Scottsdale. "It's going to be a lot of fun."
The pub is extending the celebrations with trivia challenges each hour, throughout the day. Each trivia challenge will pose a question about King George VI and his reign, and players will compete for a variety of prizes.
King George the VI was recently immortalized in The King's Speech, a movie starring Colin Firth as the shy and speech-inflicted King George.
"We think people will have fun with the contest," said Troilo, "especially since we are pulling several questions from the movie The King's Speech. Other questions will be more challenging."
King George was royalty at a time when his family was a royal mess. He gained the throne when his brother abdicated in 1936 to marry a divorcee. He was the last Emperor of India and led at a time when many nations succeeded from the Commonwealth. He led Britain through World War II as America's principle ally, insisting on living on rations of food and water, just as did his people. And he insisted on protecting Buckingham Palace, which was within the bombing zone, with a pistol and pledge he was defend it to his death.
"He was a well-loved and honored king," Troilo said. "The people loved him because he put their interests first, and we love him because, inside, he was just a regular, flawed guy trying to muddle through and do his best in crazy circumstances. He sort of reminds us of ourselves."
Scottsdale's British Open Pub, or the "Bop" as regulars call it, has something for everyone. Whether it's authentic English food like Bangers and Mash, traditional American comfort food, a massive selection of beers from around the world or simply a fun pub to watch the day's biggest sporting events, the Bop is the spot for foodies and sports fans.
The British Open Pub is located at 1334 N. Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale, Arizona, on the southwest corner of Scottsdale and McDowell roads.

Hi Mark,
I am a member of a forum which is based in murcia. There are several posts on the forum relating to a particular development that seems to be having problems. If you would like the details let me know and I'll send them over.

I sent you an email requesting more details about the resort that seeems to be having problems, but I'm afraid I haven't heard from you. I'm sure a lot of other people would also like to know which resort this is, so that we may avoid trouble.
- July 26, 2005 at 6:52 pm #58536
Dear Punjabi,
I don't think it would be right for me to publish information here based purely on what I have read on another forum. As my post said "seems to be having problems" I am not in anyway suggesting that this particular development is having problems I was only stating what I had read on another forum. With hindsight I should have sent the message as a PM to Mark.
I'm sorry I didn't get your 1st email, if you would like to email me again I'll give you the information I heard but you must understand that from my point of view it is purely hearsay and I was passing it on to Mark as I believe he is doing a case study on this particular region.
Kind regards,

More than 750 AT&T Park concession workers began a one-day strike at the San Francisco Giants' ballpark at 4 a.m. PT Saturday, as negotiations between the concession workers' union, Local 2, and the Giants' food and beverage subcontractor, Centerpiece, have hit a standstill.
The strike, which includes picketers on both sides of the ballpark, is expected to last through the Giants' 1:05 p.m. PT game against the Colorado Rockies. The team has brought in replacement workers to serve food at the game, but long lines are expected.
Union members authorized the strike earlier this month, according to NBCBayArea.com.
"This strike should be a wake-up call to Centerplate and the Giants." Patricia Ramirez, a cook for 13 years, said in the report. "We want a new contract with wage increases, health care, and job security, and we're willing to fight for it."
The report also includes an official statement from the Giants:
We are disappointed that Centerplate and Local 2 have been unable to reach agreement on a new contract. We continue to urge both parties to get back to the bargaining table and to have productive discussions so the matter can be resolved as quickly as possible. This dispute is between Centerplate and Local 2, not the Giants.
Mayor Ed Lee has graciously offered to bring the parties together to work toward reaching a resolution for the sake of the employees and the fans. We thank him for his assistance and leadership in this matter.We apologize to our fans for any inconvenience this unfortunate situation may have caused and we remain hopeful that Local 2 and Centerplate can find common ground and move forward.

So I'm going to write a blog, I've never written for a blog before, but this sounds kind of fun. I get to pick my topic, the only real requirement is that the topic should be something that volunteer managers are interested in. This shouldn't be hard, I'm a volunteer manager! So, what am I interested in?
I suppose that really depends upon when I ask myself this question. If I ask myself this question in the morning, I might want to talk a little bit about how to organize my e-mail and how to learn to say no to some of the people that ask me to meet with them. You see, the first thing that I do when I get to my desk in the morning is look at my e-mail and check my calendar. Often times there are multiple meetings and multiple requests from staff asking for a volunteer. Occasionally an e-mail from a volunteer with a time stamp of 5:55 the previous evening saying that he/she has a bad cold and can't make it for their 6:00 activity, sorry for the late notice!!
It's about this time of the day that my interest will change, volunteers start arriving. The majority of volunteers that come into the volunteer lounge at Lyngblomsten like to chat, and my desk is strategically placed so that they can make a bee line right to me and chat with me. I might hear how the weather is from one, a funny quip fromanother and how many different kinds of cookies the grandkids ate last time they were over to visit all in the course of 15 minutes. But I'm still working on getting through the e-mails and, I forgot, there are a few voice mails that need to be listened to. Just how do I get through all of this and remember from week to week about the wonderful volunteers?
Again, my interests change, time for a meeting! Thankfully I prepared yesterday for the meetings today, so I grab the appropriate folder and head down the hall. I need to read a blog about how to organize my folders so I can find what I'm looking for! What is the key for keeping a meeting on task and on the proper topic? Agendas of course! Being a very organized person, I like agendas. If only all meetings had agendas. . .
Back to the office to take the notes from the meeting I was just in, entering the next meeting date and time on my calendar. If I left the meeting with action items, get them on my task list. I guess now my interest is in recruitment. The beauty shop needs a few volunteer subs for transport next week, one of the apartment buildings is looking for a popcorn delivery person on the last Thursday of every month and the one of the volunteer 500 dealers is still out with a broken wrist. Thank goodness we have Volgistics and I can check my sets of volunteers that like to play cards, transport residents and deliver popcorn. Wait, we don't have a set for popcorn delivery, who can I call for that?! Oh, one of the volunteers in the lounge tells me that there is no Diet Pepsi in the refrigerator; I'll get right on that!!
A few phone calls and an e-mail blast later I'm switching interests and talking with a staff person about a few new internship positions she's wondering if we can fill. Well, OF COURSE we can get those filled! Let s schedule a time to sit down and outline what it is the intern will do, who will supervise, the amount of time we want the intern to spend with us, etc. Since this department has never had an intern, I offer to write up a preliminary position description and send it prior to our meeting. If the supervisor can look it over before we meet, we can make revisions to it during the meeting and get it posted as quickly as possible.
Whew, I made it to lunch time! I think that in an average morning there are a few things that interest me, and probably many of my fellow volunteer managers. Hopefully through this blog we can have a little fun, learn a little and be a little inspired. Each month I'll pick an "interest item" from my brainstorm blog and blog about it. If you'd like to throw a topic into my flurry of ideas, let me know and I'll be sure to add it to the "interests." If you have any advice for me, and other volunteer managers, please comment, we are all in this together!

Would you like to write narrative nonfiction, a memoir, short story, or novel readers can't put down? Create vivid mental movies with words that evoke visceral sensations in your readers by mastering the art of showing action rather than telling about it.
Try these seven tips to conjure vivid images and keep readers coming back for more.
- Use ACTIVE VOICE rather than passive voice; that is, to create stronger mental images, have the subject perform the action, rather than the subject acted upon by the verb.
The guitar was played by a homeless man. [passive]
The homeless man played a guitar. [active]
- Use ACTION VERBS rather than forms of "to be" (is, are, was, were, etc.) to tighten your prose and show movement. This one shift will make a huge difference in your writing.
Example 1:
The woman was hesitant to open the email.
The woman hesitated to open the email.
Example 2:
She was angry at me.
She slapped her hand across my mouth and yelled at me to shut up.
Example 3:
Rhonda was going to the store, but she wasn't sure what she was supposed to get.
Rhonda rolled into the parking lot and realized she forgot her grocery list.
Once you're comfortable using active verbs, add details to flesh out characters and settings:
Rhonda rolled into the parking lot in her SUV, twirling a red curl around her finger, when she slapped the steering wheel. She left her grocery list on the kitchen counter—again.
~The first sentence with the forms of "to be", in this case "was", tells the reader about Rhonda at that moment.
~The second sentence shows Rhonda on her way to the store, realizing her mistake.
~The third version shows the setting as well as subtext regarding Rhonda's frustration with her forgetfulness.The reader "sees" Rhonda inside her vehicle and learns a bit about her.
Here are two tricks to hone your showing skills using active verbs:
A) Write the words: is, was, were, be, being and been on an index card, and put it somewhere visible in your writing space to remember to use these forms of "to be" as little as possible. These verbs don't show movement or details to form mental images.
B) Highlight "was" and "were" (or "is" and "are" if you're writing in present tense) to see how often you've used those verbs in the same paragraph. Then revise with action verbs, and watch your writing come to life.
- DESCRIBE with action verbs, specific nouns, and occasional adjectives. Use adverbs sparingly.
Example 1:
The old man sat on the bench, hoping his bus would come soon.
The Vietnam vet slouched and wheezed on the bench, glancing down the street to check for the 29 bus to Porterville, his face a wrinkled labyrinth etched from decades of smoking.
Example 2:
I was running down an alley when I noticed someone going into the theater through the back door, and I wondered if that could be my escape route.
Scrambling down an alley, I saw a guy stealing into the theater through the back entrance, so I caught the door and slipped in behind him.
- Take advantage of the senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) to put the reader inside the room with your character.
My mother was dressed in the same clothes she had been wearing for a week.
Dressed in the same jeans, my mother reeked of a week's worth of sweat and alcohol.
- Use PAST TENSE instead of past progressive to tighten your prose and pick up the pace.
We were riding our bikes 50 miles an hour down that hill. [past progressive]
We rode our bikes 50 miles an hour down Encima Road. [past tense]
- Use ACTION TAGS instead of dialogue tags, so your reader can "see" your characters talking.
Dialogue tags—"said," "asked," "replied," etc.—slow down conversations and distract readers. Establish who says the first couple of lines, and then let readers follow the conversation. To "show" characters' movement within the setting during a conversation, use action tags to create mental pictures and provide insight into your characters.
"We're lost," said Brad.
"Let me see your cell phone," said Trudy.
"It's dead," said Brad. "Can't you remember anything: the 7-Eleven, the donut shop?"
"I'm supposed to memorize the town on a one-time drive-through?" retorted Trudy. "Everything looks different in the dark."
"We're lost." Brad stopped on the sidewalk.
Trudy noticed a street sign and held out her hand. "Let me see your cell phone."
"It's dead." Brad pulled the phone out of his jacket pocket and showed her the blank screen. "Can't you remember anything: the 7-Eleven, the donut shop?"
"I'm supposed to memorize the town on a one-time drive through? Everything looks different in the dark."
Note: Occasionally, you'll need to use a dialogue tag, but don't get fancy. Use "said," the "invisible tag," to clarify the speaker's identity without distracting the reader.
- Balance your writing between showing and telling.
Be careful not to avoid "telling" altogether. Using an occasional "said" in dialogue or "was" in your narrative gives your writing a natural feel. Too much "showing" can sound forced and take the reader out of the story.
To strike a balance:
~Read your writing aloud. If your tongue trips over words or a sentence doesn't flow, you'll hear it and be able to adjust.
~Share your work in a writers' group to catch awkwardness you may have missed. Providing feedback to other writers will improve your skills as well. (Note: Family and friends may read your work and love it, but they don't know what to look for.)
~Hire a writing coach if you want to save time and energy by learning from someone who can teach you what it takes most writers years to figure out through trial and error.
Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, practice these seven tips and watch your work rise to a whole new level!

The design is great! The design is great! There are a lot of hairs and armours to choose from! Sadly you can't change her expression, but it was great nonetheless. Maybe my female cousin could learn a thing or two about armours using this fantastic game.

Only missing one thing. It's fun making different rpg like characters. I know this app hasn't been updated for a while, but if the devs would revisit it one more time and add a save feature to save our creations, it would add a lot of value to the app, and 5 stars from me!

text: Hello everyone. Hoping I will be able to find some info and support here. I have a 10yr old son who was diagnosed with ODD and learning disorders not otherwise specified. He is currently taking Strattera 40mg in the AM and Seroquel 25mg in the evenings. The Seroquel is being bumped up to 50mg XL tomorrow to prevent peaks and low periods. His schooling is suffering greatly. Our home life is a mess. We have to other children, boy 8, and girl 3. He is constantly aggresive towards them and ppl at school. When he was first diagnosed our support systems were awesome. Now that time has gone on supports are less and less consistent. We are from a small town in Northern BC and I don't know anyone else who is going through this. Candace

I am an agnostic on the question of whether Halbig is correct. Before this week's decisions, I had been inclined to think that the statute was ambiguous enough that the government could win under Chevron. But I found Judge Griffith's opinion more persuasive than I expected, and am now undecided as to whether the statute is ambiguous. So I've been eagerly reading various criticisms of the decision as I continue to think it through. (Abbe Gluck and Nicholas Bagley are the best sources for criticism I have seen, though there are many others.)
In the course of reading criticisms of the decision, I have noticed several different forms of legal argument, and I think it's important to distinguish them, since they have different roles in different theories of statutory interpretation:
Mode 1: That's not what the text says, at least if you read the whole text carefully.
Mode 2: That's not what Congress actually intended.
Mode 3: That result is absurd — i.e., nobody who supported the statute could have intended that.
Obviously these are non-exhaustive and also overlapping, and one can advance two or all three of them at the same time. But it is still important to keep track of which modes are involved.
For example, Ilya's previous post is a response to a mode 3 argument (cooperative federalism programs aren't absurd). Abbe Gluck's rejoinder is a mode 2 argument (this wasn't intended to be a cooperative federalism program). I understand Neil Siegel to be making largely a mode 1 argument. Many textualists believe that mode 3 arguments can override otherwise clear text while mode 2 arguments cannot, so the difference might turn out to be important to some judges.

This week is the World Breastfeeding Week! To celebrate and kick things off properly we're bringing you a photo-heavy piece featuring queer moms breastfeeding their babies.
When I learned about WBW I was thrilled to feature content here on Lesbian Mommies. The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) WBW logo is actually very LGBTQ inclusive and is described as, "two adults". However, when I went to the US site that was promoting WBC and ALL the promotional material was hetero, single-race families… So I put the call out on the Lesbian Mommies facebook group received so many beautiful pictures. Below are 12 AMAZING pictures of badass lesbian mommies nursing their kiddos.
If you are queer and have a breastfeeding picture you would like us to feature please email email@example.com

In my last post on sp_who2 I demonstrated how this handy utility can help you in your troubleshooting efforts.
Continuing on from this, I am going to cover DBCC INPUTBUFFER
What is DBCC INPUTBUFFER ?
It is a command used to identify the last statement executed by a particular SPID. You would typically use this after running sp_who2
How to use
For example, I have just run run sp_who2 and identified that my lead blocker is SPID number 54 so I would run as follows:
Here is a simple demonstration. In a new query window run this
BEGIN UPDATE Orders SET Amount = 500 WHERE OrderID = 1;
Now in a second query window run this
UPDATE Orders SET Amount = 200 WHERE OrderID = 1;
Now run sp_who2 to identify the lead blocker followed by DBCC INPUTBUFFER using the lead blocker SPID. Here are my results with the column "EventInfo" providing the detail that I need on the T-SQL which is causing the problem. It is possible to copy and paste the code into a query window for analysis.
Permissions needed for DBCC INPUTBUFFER
You need to be a sysadmin or have the VIEW SERVER STATE permission to be able to run this command.
Again, like sp_who2, this handy command should be in your "DBA Toolbox".

Masking techniques are amazing and unlimited. And when we have new sets it's very easy for the imagination to fly!
Welcome dear friends, Martha Lucia here to share with you a card created with the Masking Technique and a new stamp set from Joy Clair Stamps called Doodle Flowers. Take a look at my card:
We are in spring and flowers are my passion no matter the season. These flowers are part of the Doodle Flowers set and this set comes with different elements, including a jar but I wanted to use it in a different way. Thinking of this, I created a circle masking area over a whisper white layer using masking paper and circle die cut.
First I cut the circle die cut over the masking paper and then I placed the entire piece of masking over the whisper white card stock. I removed the tape from the negative part and pasted it over the layer to keep the circle in place. Then I moved the circle and as result I had the circle area free and masked to cover it with Soft sky ink using a jumbo dauber or any blending tool. When you finish inking the circle, paste the circle of masking paper in place.
Now it is time to remove the negative part of the die cut to stamp the images around the masked circle. I used the big bunch of flowers and some individual flowers included on the Doodle Flowers set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
When I was satisfied with the stamping I removed the masked circle and stamped the sentiment. I used two different words included on another new set from Joy Clair, Hello Sentiments.
I colored the flowers using stampin' markers and splattered some drops of Glimmer Mist Golden Orange from Tattered Angels. I pasted the decorated layer with dimensionals over a whisper white card base to finish my card.
I love to create clear and simple cards and this is one of my favorites! The Doodle flowers set is great for coloring or embossing and works incredibly with different techniques. I am sure you will see this very frequently in my creations, but if you want to buy it right now JUST CLICK HERE and take advantage of the launching price!
See you soon and don't forget to explore this masking technique with new stamp sets!

Tell me, what to do while you just noticed that a wild- boar is starring at you? Of course, it happens into the night, you are alone and the boar is very near ? Do you have any tips? Because this is not a fantasy! One big, male wild -boar is in the habit of visiting this oaks grove, from time to time. I' ve been meeting with him once, last autumn, and I am still scary a little bit. To be frank, this boar is very calm one, and he rather preferes to run away, when he is seeing a dog or a human ( or a human along with a dog). Several days ago he was visiting this grove again, and one woman, who was walking her dog, saw him. Her dog is a puppy so is still silly , and had been wanting to play with the boar. The boar escaped very, very fast and was not agressive.
While I met him, I simply had decided to walk in another direction and he was not following me. My dog was very clever at the moment and had walked near me.
Anyhow, is very possible I will meet the boar again. Recently, I have been strolling with my dog in the nighttime, about midnight, and she was seriously thrilled, when we were into the grove. She stopped and was screaming and crying. And, you know, wild- boars love to spend their time under an oaks trees. This is very well- known fact. I even like these animals. In Poland boars are very popular and you can meet them also in a town. A boar might live even 40 years , so I think probably this one is a member of the family of boars, which is living into the bush at the Wisła `s bank. This is close to the oaks grove! I remember them from my childhood.
But even I will see him again, it will be very hard to take a picture. There is no light, and I think is better not to make him nervous.

Bleeding is the loss of blood. It can happen inside or outside the body. Bleeding can be a reaction to a cut or other wound. It can also result from an injury to internal organs.
There are many situations in which you might bleed. A bruise is bleeding under the skin. Some strokes are caused by bleeding in the brain. Other bleeding, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, coughing up blood, or vaginal bleeding, can be a symptom of a disease.
Normally, when you bleed, your blood forms clots to stop the bleeding. Severe bleeding may require first aid or a trip to the emergency room. If you have a bleeding disorder, your blood does not form clots normally.

- Bleeding gums
- Bleeding into the skin
- Intraventricular hemorrhage of the newborn
- Splinter hemorrhages
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage
- Subconjunctival hemorrhage

Retinal Disorders
The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. In the center of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the sharp, central vision needed for reading, driving and seeing fine detail.
Retinal disorders affect this vital tissue. They can affect your vision, and some can be serious enough to cause blindness. Examples are
- Macular degeneration - a disease that destroys your sharp, central vision
- Diabetic eye disease
- Retinal detachment - a medical emergency, when the retina is pulled away from the back of the eye
- Retinoblastoma - cancer of the retina. It is most common in young children.
- Macular pucker - scar tissue on the macula
- Macular hole - a small break in the macula that usually happens to people over 60
- Floaters - cobwebs or specks in your field of vision
NIH: National Eye Institute
- Amaurosis fugax
- Central serous choroidopathy

Henshokuryu (Hemp Shock Dragon) are high AF with their baked lazy jam "Atarashi Kazoekata."
It's dope alright, with hazy paranoid guitars and hip hop laced bong hits which puts this song on a higher level than anything else this 2017. This should give you the munchies for more and yep, there is an album dropping 4.12.2017 at CDJapan. (Should have been on 4.20)

London Icons.
Hello my friends. I'm back with a new post; short on text but with a reasonable inventory of photos from today's stroll-about. We are staying at a hotel that is only a short distance from Victoria Station. However, I was in strong need of exercise so we decided to walk rather than ride. Clearly I chose the wrong coat upon setting out, and I paid dearly for that mistake. Tomorrow I will overcompensate even if I appear foolish. I tolerate poorly outdoor activity in temperatures below 55 degrees F. And despite the welcomed sunshine, the air grew steadily colder. By the time we returned to our room at 4:30 it was only 45ish and windy.
This is Boxing Day, which has been likened to our Black Friday. But based on personal observation, I would suggest that it was a bigger day for the tourism industry than for retail. Many shops and restaurants were closed, along with government buildings and banks. Even the dinner menu at the local pub was limited and entitled Bank Holiday.
The streets were teeming with international visitors and so were all notable landmarks. The paths through St. James Park were congested and picture taking was awkward.
Conditions were however favorable for the local bird and waterfowl population. Visitors to the park were eager to share bits of bread and such with birds of a feather.
Wow! One serious gull!

Here are a few of the sights that captured my focus today. I hope you enjoy strolling them with me~
Buckingham Palace. There were only three sentries in front which indicates that the Queen was not in residence.
I wonder what the application process is for this job. I also wonder if this is a lifelong aspiration.
Queen Victoria Memorial
A moody photo of Big Ben.
The updated, aerodynamic version of a timeless British treasure.
The classic phone booth against a modern backdrop. London sports an eclectic cityscape.
Jet lag update... some days are better than others. The good news~ I think by the time we need to return home I will have adjusted.
Thanks for allowing me to share~

The Slavonic Federation's secret service persuades a geneticist to access the brain of a visiting American financial wizard at the head of a trade delegation. The geneticist, who is seeking funds for research to improve human mental capacity, is unaware that he is involved in a bizarre plot to topple his country's government. The plot goes badly awry and leads to the collapse of the global economy and a descent into anarchy.
Years later, when the world has reverted to a kind of neo-fascist politically correct normality, a Danish billionaire is persuaded to fund research by the same geneticist into the genomic source of intelligence with a view to creating a superior strain of homo sapiens. However, the billionaire is more interested in creating an intellectual elite with himself at its apex. Things don't turn out exactly as planned, and a contest ensues for control of his industrial empire against a background of government corruption and a media culture that has given 'spin' a new meaning.

sweetp replied to KerriAnne's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping Withomigosh, i totally know what you're talking about, i've been feeling the same way latley...i'm thinking i have a corn intolerance now...i know for a fact that i wasn't getting glutened from anything, but similar sympotms have recently been comming up. i did notice that i have eaten ALOT of corn in the last few years...like a few meals a day...popped corn, corn chips, hot cereal, polenta, corn on the cobb...etc. anyways, i've been off corn for three days now, and am starting to feel better... it makes me more sad than you can possibly imagine...but i'm afraid that might be it...i'm getting tested next month... is there something in your diet like that, that may be affecting you?
Crazy Celiac Here!
sweetp posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping Withso, is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they are the ONLY person in the entire universe that has celiac disease!?? I mean...yah... you all have it (lol) but i mean like in "the real world" the people you meet in everyday life... (sigh)..... no one gets it... yesterday, this girl at my church ( trying so hard to be sweet!!)) said "i made some bread that you can have... it's called oat maple bread and it doesnt have WHOLE wheat flour..." i said.. wow, yah, thanks! um... i can't really have oats and i can't have any flour... she used bleached flour and thought it was okay.... anyways... so sometimes when i'm home alone, or even when i'm at a church potluck, but mostly when i'm home alone... i just want to tear into a loaf of great harvest honey whole wheat bread, ( i don't know why i buy it for my hubby-i torture myself!!!) anyways... i want to chuck the stupid "rice LOAF" that's so dense-and-hard-it-could-seriously-injure-someone-if-you-used-it-as-a-weapon, out the window and dump the soggy quinoa spiral noodles in the toilet where they belong and eat some good old top ramen! ai yai yai... i feel crazy sometimes, like this disease is not real and that if i believe that hard enough that i can go back to eating like a "normal person" i mean, i've been SOOOO stinkin good for SOOO long, it's been a while since i've had a bad reaction, and a few years since i've been constantly sick...i feel so healthy now!! i think i almost need to be glutened once in a while so i don't feel so deprived....anyhoo...so here i am home alone....barry left some cookies on the counter....RarrrRrr..
What Do You Personally Do To Gain Weight
sweetp replied to Claire's topic in Gluten-Free Diet & Weight Issuesi was down to 85 pounds, and now i'm a healthy 103 i had to meet with a nutritionist because i was having so much trouble gaining weight. i ate really healthy and i love running so i didn't want to give those up. this is one thing my dr. had me do; make a protein shake every morning! i put in a handful of strawberries, blueberries, a bananna, 2 tbs. of protein powder, 2 tbs flax seed oil, 1 tbs of ground flaxseed. i also took fish oil supplements as well as mCT (medium chain triglycride) oils. she had me snack on plenty of nuts, nut butters, avacado, and decrease the amount of miles i ran in the morning. to gain about twenty pounds the healthy way it took me about a year and a half. also, you can snack on gluten free protein-ish bars like lara and nectar before you go to bed, pop corn popped in olive oil, and homemade hummus with a generous amount of olive oil and tahinni
Thyroid Problems
sweetp replied to PreOptMegs's topic in Gluten-Free Diet & Weight Issuesi feel your pain, i was diagnosed wiht hypothyroidism as well! Are you on medication? i am, and it has helped with the extreme tiredness and dry shkin.
gluten-free And An Outdoor Lifestyle
sweetp replied to apollo's topic in Celiac Disease - Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacsmy husband and i love backpacking! i'm a vegetarian too and this is what we do when we go on longer hikes. breakfast and snacks= larabars and cliff nectar bars (the chocoate is the best, tastes like a brownie!!) or enjoy life! brand granola the berry flavored is the best...or if you like hot cereal, Bobs read meal mighty tasty gluten free breakfast is pretty good. for lunch (if she enjoys ethnic foods) taste of india brand lentils and rice, etc. it's ALL gluten free and very very very tasty! i even get it when we're not going hiking. also for snacks bring lots of nuts! they're full of protein and energy! we also always bring in fruit, even though it's more weight, if you eat a few apples a day, the weight, like all the other food, diminishes. last, trader joe's has handy pre cooked rice in pouches that you could bring. hope this helps. at first hiking gluten free & vegetarian seemed difficult, but after you do it once, it's really easy.
I Guess I Have To Starve?
sweetp replied to frustratedneicey's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithIf you like soups, they are inexpensive to make, and can be really tasty! I frequently make split pea (my favorite!!), lentil, tortilla, veggie, black bean, etc. If you're a vegan, vegetarian, those are great choices, and there are tons of recipies on the internet. Also, my husband and i do tons of mexican food, (beans homemade salsa, lettuce, and corn tortillas).... um... we also do lots of spaghetti! i love making my own chunky veggie sauce, and the rice noodles are quite inexpensive. If you have a trader Joes, its like $2 for a bag of noodles. Rice is also very inexpensive and you can get tons of great recipes for rice off of the internet... and if you eat potatoes they are cheap! i agree! gluten free food can be soooo expensive~ yesterday, my husband and i drove through portland and went to whole foods market. he wanted to buy me blueberry muffins (they have a gluten-free line) and it was $8 for four muffins!!! sooo expensive! i told him it wasnt fair that gluten-free food has to be soo expensive! but he reminded me that we eat so healthy and we are blessed not to be eating a bunch of processed junk~ i agreed. and eating those treats every once in a while (like when we go to portland) makes it much more enjoyable!
sweetp replied to liz0324's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurantsit was probably most defintley the sour cream... i dont think ive ever seen gluten free sour cream... maybe tilamook... not sure, but most sour creams are not gluten free...

The product is looking good and working fine as expected.
Sound quality is good.
If you connect it to AC power supply and switch on USB mode to play songs the good thing is that and turn off the AC power supply, it plays from the internal rechargeable battery.( not seen but it may be BL-5c mobile bathe good thing is that
One more bit restarts the song (in USB mode )from exactly where it was stopped if you stop by pressing the red button(power button)
One peculiarity I observed is -the player fails to select USB mode and play songs from USB pen drive if you start the player with just battery without connecting to AC supply.
If you first connect to, AC supply it selects USB mode, and even if you later on switch of AC supply it would continue to play in USB mode.
it can read memory cards from USB card reader, but there is no memory card slot in it but it is not a con as one can buy memory card reader for a few bucks .

Skylar Astin and Anna Camp's wedding party to include 'Pitch Perfect' co-stars
Skylar Astin and Anna Camp's upcoming nuptials are going to be aca-awesome!
The "Pitch Perfect" pair, who announced their engagement on Instagram in January, will be joined by a few famous faces on their wedding day: "We have Ben Platt and Brittany Snow walking down the aisle as part of the wedding party," Skylar told Wonderwall.com on April 19 while promoting megabus.com's 10th anniversary celebration with the Arbor Day Foundation.
Ben portrays illusionist and a capella super-fan Benji Applebaum, the roommate of Skylar's Jesse Swanson, in the "Pitch Perfect" franchise, while Brittany Snow stars as Chloe Beale, who co-leads the Barden Bellas with Anna's Aubrey Posen.
With all that talent on hand, you'd expect the music on Skylar and Anna's big day to be especially epic, but apparently the 28-year-old actor and his bride-to-be are going to the traditional route.
"I don't know if we're gonna have performers," he told us. "We have a band that's gonna do Motown [hits] -- that really great dance music, and we have a DJ who's going to play the Top 40 hits."
"It's just gonna be a harmonious day," he added.
Especially if the groom decides to serenade his sweetheart after he makes her his wife -- a possibility that Skylar hasn't completely ruled out.
"I don't want to commit to that at this point because I don't know -- it might happen," he said. "Maybe! We'll see."
Even without any A-list performances, the wedding is shaping up to be quite the bash.
"This is like the ultimate party," says the groom-to-be. "It's like a huge life event, and we don't want it to end, so we're savoring the moment and there's no stress. It's been really wonderful."
No stress? That's right! According to Skylar, the wedding planning process has been a breeze thus far.
"We made a joke that [Anna's] a bride-chilla," he said of his fiance. "And I guess that would make me a groom-chilla because really we're taking [wedding planning] in stride. We got on it right away, and it's just been a slow, steady process. We're rocking and rolling."
And, trust us, the "Ground Floor" alum is well aware of how envy-inducing those comments are.
"I know people probably hate me because I know so many people who have said, 'Oh my God, [wedding planning] was so stressful,'" he says. "But we just don't understand the idea of stressing out for so many months and putting all this pressure on ourselves in order to have the best day of our lives on one day."
"Why not have those months be just as enjoyable as the actual day itself," he adds. "We're putting our hearts and souls into it, so we know the day is going to be the best -- and there is no pressure on that. We don't feel that because we're just really on the same page."
It's a good thing the co-star couple is on the same page because unlike most grooms, Skylar is extremely involved in the wedding planning process.
"I'm involved in everything," he says. "There's nothing we don't do together."
He even helped out in March when Anna teamed up with Wedding Paper Divas to design three inspiration boards for their nuptials.
"I was involved in the conversations before, after and during," he says. "I was there behind [the scenes] that day. I was just wearing a baseball hat and wasn't in the pictures, but I was there being the fiance."
"I really enjoy wedding planning because I'm doing it with my best friend," he concludes.
Wow, Anna Camp clearly hit the jackpot with this guy! Aca-awesome, indeed.

I went to Connemara, the former home of the poet Carl Sandburg, in Flat Rock, North Carolina today, to help a friend become acquainted with her Nikon D5200. While she was looking for the histogram, which we never found, I took a few pictures with the 20mm f/1.7 lens.
