Hurt by Others: How to Cope and Heal
When I was growing up, the world was a perfect place. The only problem was, that it wasn't. I used to believe that everything could always be 'fair'. To me that meant no one should ever be wronged, and if they were, justice must be served. I fought hard for the way I believed things should be. But in my struggle, I overlooked a fundamental truth about this life. In my childish idealism, I failed to understand that this world is inherently imperfect. We, as humans, are inherently imperfect. So we will always mess up. And in those mess-ups, we will inevitably hurt others, knowingly, and unknowingly, intentionally and unintentionally. The world would not always be fair.
Does that mean we stop struggling against injustice, or give up on Truth? Of course not. But it means we must not hold this world – and others – to an unrealistic standard. But that's not always easy. How do we live in a world so flawed, where people let us down, and even our own family can break our heart? And perhaps, hardest of all, how do we learn to forgive when we have been wronged? How do we become strong, without being hard, and remain soft, without being weak? When do we hold on, and when can we let go? When does caring too much, become too much? And is there such a thing as loving more than we should?
To begin to find these answers, we have to first take a step outside our own lives. We need to examine whether we are the first or the last to feel pain or be wronged. We need to look at those who came before us, to study their struggles, and their triumphs. And we need to recognize that growth never comes without pain, and success is only a product of struggle. That struggle almost always includes withstanding and overcoming the harms inflicted by others.
Recalling the shining examples of our prophets will remind us that our pain is not isolated. Remember that Prophet Nuh was abused by his people for 950 years. The Quran tells us: "Before them the People of Noah rejected (their apostle): they rejected Our servant, and said, 'Here is one possessed!', and he was driven out." (Qur'an, 54:9) Nuh was abused so much that he finally "called on his Lord: 'I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!'" (Qur'an, 54:10)
Or we can call to mind how the Prophet ﷺ was pelted with stones, until he bled, and how the companions were beaten and starved. All of this harm was at the hands of others. Even the angels understood this aspect of human nature – before we even came to be. When Allah told the angels that He would create humanity, their first question was about this harmful potential of humans. Allah tells us: "Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: 'I will create a vicegerent (humanity) on earth.' They said: 'Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?'" (Qur'an, 2:30)
This potential of humanity to commit horrific crimes against each other is a sad reality of this life. And yet many of us are so blessed. Most of us have not had to face the type of calamities that others have endured throughout time. Most of us will never have to watch as our families are tortured or killed. And yet, there are few of us who could say we have never been hurt, in one way or another, at the hands of someone else. So although most of us will never have to know the feeling of starving to death or standing helpless as our homes are destroyed, most of us will know what it means to cry from a wounded heart.
Is it possible to avoid this? To some degree, I think it is. We can never avoid all pain, but by adjusting our expectation, our response, and our focus, we can avoid much devastation. For example, putting our entire trust, reliance, and hope in another person is unrealistic and just plain foolish. We have to remember that humans are fallible and therefore, our ultimate trust, reliance, and hope should only be put in Allah. Allah says: "…whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing of all things." (Qur'an, 2: 256) Knowing that Allah is the only handhold that never breaks, will save us from much unneeded disappointment.
And yet this is not to say that we should not love or that we should love less. It is how we love that is important. Nothing should be our ultimate object of love, except Allah. Nothing should come before Allah in our hearts. And we should never come to a point where we love something, other than Allah, in such a way, that it would be impossible to continue life without it. This type of 'love' is not love, but actually worship and it causes nothing but pain.
But what happens when we've done all that and still we have been hurt or wronged by others – as will also inevitably happen? How can we do what is the hardest? How can we learn to forgive? How can we learn to mend our scars and continue being good to people, even when they are not good to us?
In the story of Abu Bakr radi Allahu `anhu (may Allah be pleased with him), is a beautiful example of exactly that. After his daughter, `Ayesha (r), was slandered in the worst way, Abu Bakr (r) found out that the man who began the rumor was Mistah, a cousin who Abu Bakr had been supporting financially. Naturally Abu Bakr withheld the charity he had been giving the slanderer. Soon after, Allah revealed the following ayah: "Let not those among you who are endued with grace and amplitude of means resolve by oath against helping their kinsmen, those in want and those who migrated in the path of Allah. Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? Indeed Allah is oft-Forgiving, most Merciful." (Qur'an, 24:22) Upon hearing this ayah, Abu Bakr resolved that he did want Allah's forgiveness, and so he not only continued to give the man money, he gave him more.
This type of forgiveness is at the very heart of being a believer. In describing these believers, Allah says: "And who shun the more heinous sins and abominations; and who, whenever they are moved to anger, readily forgive." (Qur'an, 42:37)
The ability to readily forgive should be driven by an awareness of our own flaws and mistakes towards others. But most of all, our humility should be driven by the fact that we wrong Allah every single day of our lives, when we sin. Who are we compared to Allah? And yet, Allah, Master of the universe, forgives by day and by night. Who are we to withhold forgiveness? If we hope to be forgiven by Allah, how can we not forgive others? It is for this reason that the Prophet ﷺ teaches us: "Those who show no mercy to others will have no mercy shown to them by Allah." [Muslim]
This hope for Allah's mercy should motivate our own desire to forgive and to one day enter the only world that really is perfect.

After tossing darts for 20 minutes, most of them now either landing on our map in the ocean or way too far away to drive (or in the bushes), we finally had a dart hit our area.
It's our third destination, having already paid visits to Melrose, Florida and Woodbine, Georgia... all thanks to the chance toss of our darts.
Our third destination: Folkston, Georiga.
It's a town already very well known as being the "Gateway to the Okefenokee Swamp."
But the true adventure comes when you watch how the town embraces something that could be seen as a nuisance, the constant rhythm of trains rumbling through town.
"We get 60 trains a day," said Dixie McGurn. "That's in a 24 hour period."
It's all thanks to the railroad construction phenomenon known as the Folkston Funnel.
Lewis and Clark and Trains in Folkston, Ga.
Two main lines coming out of both Waycross and Jesup in Georgia, come together like a funnel at a point right in downtown Folkston.
That leads to a myriad of trains passing through at all hours.
"But if life hands you a bag of lemons," Dixie said, "You make lemonade."
She was once the mayor of Folkston, but now runs the local lunch/coffee/framing/train collectibles hotspot in town: The Whistlin' Dixie.
But she loves her town, and is squeezing every ounce of juice of the trains that come through town.
"We bought a caboose," she said, "And this is now the Hilton of Folkston."
Translation: She retrofitted an old caboose with beds, a living area, kitchen and bathroom. It's now her Railside Lodging business.
People come here so frequently to watch trains, but she says there was really no place for them to stay.
So they'd come and they'd go.
Now she's got the perfect place for a train fanatic to lay their head at night... in either the caboose or other train cars she has around the line.
Folkston is an hour drive from Jacksonville, but is worth the trip for the train lover.

Recreational cannabis in now available on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. On August 5, NuLeaf dispensary opened in Incline Village, Nevada, and became the first dispensary in the Tahoe area to offer recreational cannabis for adults.
The 2,500-square-foot store is on the high end of cannabis outlets, with rustic exposed beams and the feel of a fireplace-warmed cabin. "We really feel that a dispensary should be friendly and welcoming and clean and a safe environment," Luse told KCRA. "It's been many years of the campaigns and the political work and we've been working on this dispensary here in Nevada for years. And now finally, the day has come."
Washoe County began allowing recreational cannabis in unincorporated areas on August 4. NuLeaf opened a day later and is the first and only recreational dispensary in Incline Village. The community was very supportive on opening day. A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on opening day with a speech from Washoe County Commissioner Kitty Jung.
The first 50 customers were promised a pre-roll for a penny. An impressive line of over 100 customers waiting to get in was seen. A variety of customers and patients are expected. Nevada medical cannabis dispensaries are allowed to accept out-of-state doctors recommendations and retail outlets will sell to any adult with valid identification. NuLeaf also operates a cannabis business in Las Vegas and has been in business for over 15 years.
Hopes are high, given that 37 percent of Lake Tahoe's visitors come from Northern California. Among notable people that have reportedly consumed cannabis in the Lake Tahoe area, the list includes Mark Zuckerberg. But the problem now is where are tourists supposed to legally consume recreational cannabis, as almost any hotel bans cannabis smoking and public smoking is of course prohibited. Most Lake Tahoe visitors that consume cannabis resort to vape pens to avoid unwanted attention.
The shop opens at 11 a.m. Incline Village is located just beyond the California state line.

We've just received another shipment of the superb CZ Scorpion EVO— one of the hottest guns of 2016. This remarkable 9mm pistol can easily be converted to short barrel rifle (SBR) format.

When compared with the Sig Sauer MPX and HK SP5, it's also a tremendous value at only $859.
If you're looking for a last minute gift idea for Dad, consider this fine writing instrument from Microtech. Yes, they make pens! This is the Siphon II. This clever ball point features a unique lever action design and not unlike other Microtech products, is machined from the finest materials.

This is your last opportunity to take advantage of our ammo sale. As a result of the carnage in Orlando, the distributors are almost completely out of 5.56mm NATO ammunition. We've seen this before. Once they're out, they're going to stay out. And prices will go up accordingly. The $9.25 MOE PMAGs are already sold out. One of our suppliers has sold 200k mags in two days. We only limited quantities of Gen3 and MOE w/window models for $10.99 and $11.99, respectively. Click here to place your order while supplies last.

If you're keen on another thrilling pair-up with actor Liam Neeson and filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra, you can look forward to their latest, The Commuter, which is already underway with backing courtesy of StudioCanal and Lionsgate handling distribution in due time. The Picture Company's Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman are producing from a script by Philip de Blasi and Byron Willinger, and is still apparently in the midst of casting which now leads to today's report from THR of actor Patrick Wilson's addition to the film.
Details are albeit vague but largely hint at Wilson's role as that of the trusted friend of a beleagured insurance salesman on his regular train commute home as he finds himself forced by a mysterious straphanger to uncover a passenger's identity before it reaches its terminal. Also starring is actress Vera Farmiga who plays the straphanger, marking her latest reunion with Wilson since following up from their 2013 horror installation, The Conjuring, with its commercial hit sequel back in June, both from Furious Seven helmer James Wan.

"John Reading's Diary is a rich cornucopia of details of daily life in mid-eighteenth century colonial New Jersey. The diary records buying and selling, lending and borrowing, and services rendered and payment received between John Reading and hundreds of customers and employees in New Jersey and beyond and his own family members. These transactions are recorded in multiple currencies at constantly fluctuating exchange rates (much like Europe before the implementation of the single euro currency in 1999). John Reading enjoyed high political and economic status. His life illustrates a prominent leader of the rising American political class. His diary is must reading for any student of eighteenth-century colonial American history."

Population: 7,300,000 (Pop. estimate is pre-invasion)
Niacal is a lush planet with an overabundance of photosynthetic life, leading to oxygen concentrations greater than on most garden worlds. This is tolerable for a few hours, but soon oxygen toxicity becomes a real canger. Asari colonies here use breathers and sealable buildings.
Niacal's economy centers on agribusiness and biotechnology. Many genetically modified crops have their origin here.
Aware that the Reaper's plan of attack is to bombard industrial cities and enslave population centers, Niacal's soldiers and civilians alike have retreated to the planet's impenetrable jungles. A terrestrial guerilla war may not be enough to push the Reapers off the planet, but is has proven successful at immobilizing the enemy and forcing them to commit more resources here for little gain.

Michelle Modesto's debut, REVENGE AND THE WILD, is one of our all-time favorites. With cannibalism, a sprinkling of magic, and a protagonist who's her own villain at times, it's a wild ride full of revenge (see what I did there?). And it's weird. I love weird. Oh, and it's a western. The writing flows beautifully, and I just have all the love for it! Read my review for the book here.
Today, we're thrilled to have Michelle on the blog with a little Q&A, thanks to Rockstar Book Tours, plus a giveaway!
Michelle Modesto
384 pages
Publisher: Balzer + Bray (HarperTeen)
Release Date: February 2nd, 2016
The two-bit town of Rogue City is a lawless place, full of dark magic and saloon brawls, monsters and six-shooters. But it's perfect for seventeen-year-old Westie, the notorious adopted daughter of local inventor Nigel Butler.
Westie was only a child when she lost her arm and her family to cannibals on the wagon trail. Nine years later, Westie may seem fearsome with her foul-mouthed tough exterior and the powerful mechanical arm built for her by Nigel, but the memory of her past still haunts her. She's determined to make the killers pay for their crimes—and there's nothing to stop her except her own reckless ways.
But Westie's search ceases when a wealthy family comes to town looking to invest in Nigel's latest invention, a machine that can harvest magic from gold—which Rogue City desperately needs as the magic wards that surround the city start to fail. There's only one problem: the investors look exactly like the family who murdered Westie's kin. With the help of Nigel's handsome but scarred young assistant, Alistair, Westie sets out to prove their guilt. But if she's not careful, her desire for revenge could cost her the family she has now.
This thrilling novel is a remarkable tale of danger and discovery, from debut author Michelle Modesto.
Hafsah: Hi Michelle! Thanks for stopping by IceyBooks! You know how much I lovvvved your fabulous debut, and I can't wait to get some insight into your process — where did you get the idea for REVENGE AND THE WILD?
Michelle: Hi! I'd wanted to write a weird western for a long time. It's a fantasy subgenre I've loved forever. Stephen King's Dark Tower series, Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, and Joe R. Lansdale were some of my favorites as a teen. It was really intimidating trying to blend genres—not a very popular thing to do, and definitely not easy. I started several time, but couldn't get into the story so I set it aside to work on other things. Nothing was working and I was getting restless and irritated. It was one of those moments I think every writer has, when they hate every single word they type and want to take a torch to their computer. After a drive through Truckee, where the Donner Party was stranded, the idea to add cannibals came to life and I started getting excited about the story again. I then took several of my WIPs (a paranormal and steampunk) and blended them together.
Hafsah: Was there a particular line from the book that you loved but had to remove from the final iteration? Can you share it with us?
Michelle: I try not to get too attached to words. It prevents me from seeing the big picture. But there was a brothel scene that I was a little sad to see go—though, in hindsight, I have to admit it was a bit much. It involved Costin and a group of armless dancing girls who looked a lot like Westie.
Hafsah: As a designer, I'm always curious about reactions to designs. What was your initial reaction when you first set eyes on your fantabulous cover?
Michelle: I was so in love with the cover the moment I saw it. The lettering, the fire, blood, the girl in the forest—it was all so perfect and captured the feeling of the book better than I could've imagined. There were a few tweaks here and there and then the smoke was added. It just kept getting better and better. I haven't seen anything like it. I'm always proud to show it off.
Hafsah: I loved everything about REVENGE AND THE WILD: the characters, the world-building, the plot. What was the hardest part for you, when writing the story?
Michelle: I'm so happy you enjoyed it! The most difficult part for me was writing the ending. I think I rewrote the ending five or six times before I went out on submission to agents and then several more times with my editor.
Hafsah: Tell us a little bit about how you signed with your agent, please!
Michelle: Signing with my agent (John Cusick) was probably the most exciting part of the publishing process. It's when I knew all of the hard work and stress had finally paid off. He was the first agent I thought about when I was ready to start submitting R&TW, the first agent I sent it to, and the first to get back to me with an offer of representation. I have a hard time remembering all the details of the conversation during the call because my mind was spinning. I was trying so hard not to lose my chill and be all pro, but I kept laughing. I'm ridiculous on the phone in general, but when it comes to important conversations, I'm a flaming hot mess. Honestly, I'm surprised he even wanted to work with me after that, but I'm so glad he did. He's the best.
Hafsah: And lastly, list three upcoming YA releases you cannot wait to read!
Michelle: Courtney Alameda's PITCH DARK sounds amazing! I'm so into space novels right now.
Rahul Kanakia's ENTER TITLE HERE. I've heard so many good things, I need to read it for myself.
Carrie Gordon Watson's ASCENDING THE BONEYARD. A local author and her novel sounds wonderfully weird—I'm all about weird.
About the Author

Her debut YA novel, REVENGE AND THE WILD comes out from Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins, early 2016. She lives in Northern California in a double-wide mobile asylum with two mastiffs who don't listen to her and two teenagers who also don't listen to her.

The Far Tribes
A Barnaby Skye NovelSkye's West (Volume 3)
Richard S. Wheeler
Forge Books
Forge Books
ISBN: 9780765359353320 Pages
Barnes & Noble
There are many legends of great mountain men, hunters and trappers who manage to survive on their own in the harsh landscapes and forests of the West. The frontier is full of adversity, from blood-hungry natives to the vicious beasts of the mountains, and the one name that all men of the frontier praise and whisper as if in prayer is Barnaby Skye.
Elkanah Morse came west from Lowell, Massachusetts with one goal in mind: to study the ways of the far tribes. But entrance into their world is not easy. Only one man is capable of bringing him to the natives safely, only one man who knows exactly what to bring for trade.
But Skye's advice is not enough. When rumors begin to spill that Morse is being held captive by one of the most vicious tribes in the mountains, Barnaby Skye feels compelled to take to the mountains and rescue the man . . . but he must face his most brutal battle yet.
Praise for The Far Tribes
"No one does it better than Wheeler… an extraordinary writer." —The Round-Up Quarterly
"Wheeler has done for the western story what C. S. Forester did for the sea story. Skye is the Horatio Hornblower of the Rockies." —Rocky Mountain News

Nick Young shares cryptic social media messages after ex-fiancee Iggy Azalea confirms he cheated
The Iggy Azaela, Swaggy P cheating-scandal drama continues on social media... On Saturday, July 2, 2016, Nick Young shared a couple of rather cryptic messages, maybe not so coincidentally just two days after his ex-fiancee Iggy Azalea called him out on Twitter for cheating.
First, he took to Twitter to convey a deep message ...
"If you perfect then be perfect I live in a world where ppl f--- up learn from it and move on," he wrote. Adding, "That's life ... hate me or love me I'm still going to love life man."
He then added a video to Instagram dancing around with his buddies. The caption was simply put, "Feel No Way."
Obviously, we can't be sure if he's speaking directly to his situaton with the "Black Widow" singer. But, let's be real ...
On Thursday, June 30, Iggy shared the truth about why she broke up with the Los Angeles Lakers NBA player in June, after a tape leaked calling him out for cheating in March.
"I broke up with Nick because I found out he had brought other women into our home while I was away and caught them on the security footage," the pop star explained of her romance with Swaggy, who popped the question in June 2015.
She also addressed rumors that he had impregnated his ex Keonna Green, while still with her.
"This is just like a second shot to the chest," Iggy wrote of the possible pregnancy. "And I feel like I don't even know who the hell it is I've been loving all this time."
She added, "I find it baffling anyone would make the choice to bring a child into the world under these circumstances + want attention and $ for it."
Whoa, this breakup is really escalating.

James Abbot McNeill Whistler, Nocturne in black and gold, the Falling Rocket, c. 1875
"How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here we will sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold.
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins.
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it."
O Mercador de Veneza, William Shakespeare
Lorenzo, V.I. 62-73

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
Last week we assembled an article on the hymn, "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms." This precious hymn has an interesting story behind it.
However, on looking to clear out old articles, we came across an article Deborah had written on the subject! Our new article had the facts, and more detail, but we did not have the comment about animals. So we copied her paragraph and pasted it into the new article and made her a co-author. If you read the article last week, take another look and read the addition. She makes a very good point.

|Streusel Topped Berry Muffins
We don't always have baked goods when we get together. No, our hips wouldn't appreciate that! Usually we will just meet at a local coffee shop and chat over a cup of coffee, but occasionally one of us will get the urge to host, and bake. This weekend I was the one with the urge to bake.
I made a couple of substitutions with this recipe that worked out splendidly. First, since it is March, fresh berries were not on hand in my refrigerator, but I did have plenty of frozen raspberries and blueberries. Secondly, I didn't have any buttermilk so I substituted the buttermilk in the recipe with 1 cup of skim milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Let's take a look at how these are made, shall we?
Streusel Topped Berry Muffins
Makes 12 muffins
|Berry Muffin Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
3/4 cup fresh raspberries
|The Streusel Topping
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
To make the topping, in a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the melted butter. Add the skim milk, lemon juice (or buttermilk if you have it) and lemon zest and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just to combine. The batter will still be somewhat lumpy; do not over mix.
|The Muffin Batter Will Be Lumpy
|Add The Frozen Berries To The Batter
|Use A Scoop To Fill the Muffin Tin
|The Muffins Ready for The Oven
|Muffins Fresh from The Oven
Make these muffins as soon as you can. Make them for your family, for your best friend, or for yourself. They are an enjoyable breakfast treat. Click the link for the printable Streusel Topped Berry Muffin recipe.

Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Given the breadth of engineering specializations, you're likely to find your niche, and be able to design a rewarding career. Concentrating on Northeastern State innovation, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the mechanical engineering department for course registration deadlines, and scientific research program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Northeastern State.
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the mechanical engineering department, you may consider Camden CC physics courses online as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

I've posted my Social Business: A 2013 HorizonWatch Trend Report out to Slideshare and have embedded the report at the bottom of this post. The report provides an overview of the Social Business trend and what we might expect to see happen in 2013. The report contains summary information as well as many links to websites, reports, videos, and other resources to help you learn more about Social Business.
Social Business is really not about the technology, it's about connecting people. It is clear that social collaboration is changing the way business is being conducted. Over the next 10-15 years, social computing capability will become part of every business function within the company. Social capabilities will become embedded in every single website, computing device for every participant in every single business transaction. All participants involved in a company's business processes and transactions will have the ability to share content, comment on content, rate/vote on content, and collaborate in an open and sharing environment.
Top Trends in Social Business for 2013
Here are some key trends I see happening in Social Business over the next 12 months.
- It's more than Social CRM: Social Business capability is increasingly embedded into all traditional applications.
- CEO (and Senior Execs): Finally realize it's not a fad, but a new way of doing business. They step up to owning the transformation challenge.
- CIOs take more of an interest: Driven by CEO/LOB interest as well as IT concerns (security, integration, control, user experience, etc.).
- Processes start to change: It's not about the technology, its about how we work.
- Analytics: New dashboard analytics and visualzations provide progress reports to execs on how the transformation is going
- Social Media Marketing: Enterprise Marketeers need to pull in the reins, clean house, and re-focus on relationship engagement.
- Renewed Focus on Owned Properties: Data ownership, security and control are a concern.
- Community Marketing: .com Communities spring up around every topic, every function, every business process. Many are mismanaged and will fail within 90 days after launch.
- Education & Training: Companies deploy tailored education to employees, segmenting them based on their needs and experience levels.
- Reward Programs: Gamification applied to social business results in socially active customers, employees and partners being more motivated, rewarded, and recognized.

on cold winter nights, comfort foods is the name of the game. lately i've been craving both chicken pot pie & shepherd's pie – two comfort food staples. basically the recipe is the same for both, plus or minus the crust & potatoes. but honestly, we all know that the crust & potatoes is the best part. so why not combine the two? instead of having to choose between chicken pot pie (with it's delicious golden crust) & sheperd's pie (with it's creamy mashed potatoes), last night i created the best of both worlds… a chicken shepherd's pie, topped with creamy garlic mashed potatoes, baked inside a delicious golden crust – chicken pot pie mash up recipe.
chicken pot pie mash up
2 boneless chicken breasts, cooked & diced
2 egg yolks
handful of chopped parsley
1/2 cup of frozen carrots
1/2 cup of frozen corn
1/2 cup of frozen peas
1 can of cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup milk
1 deep dish frozen pie shell
4 large potatoes, peeled & cut into chunks
2 tablespoons of butter
1 (5-ounce) package of boursin soft garlic & herb cheese
1. pre-heat oven to 350 degress.
2. put potatoes in a stock pot, cover with water & boil under tender, then drain.
3. while potatoes are cooking, saute the carrots, peas & corn in the butter, and season with salt and pepper. when veggies are tender add chicken & mix it all together.
4. in a medium sized bowl combine the veggies, chicken, cream of chicken & 1/2 cup of milk for the chicken pot pie "stuffing"
5. when potatoes have finished cooking & have been drained, add the cheese, egg yolks, parsley & 1/4 cup of milk & mash.
6. fill your frozen deep dish pie crust with your "stuffing" & spread your potato "crust" on top
7. place your pie tin on a baking sheet & bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is a golden brown.
best served with a roaring fire in the background, homemade rolls & a pot of cocoa on the stove.

Another very common means of transport throughout ThailandandBangkok is the motorbike taxis which is also used like a motorcycle taxi service and is great, although dangerous, for zipping through traffic when the traffic gets bad and for getting about when you are in a hurry.
You can spot a motorbike taxi driver by his single colour waste coat which he wears over his normal clothing. Generally, these colours are green, orange, blue or purple and groups of riders gather at the end of roads and ferry people up and down that street for between 10 and 30 Baht although you can go further distances and negotiate a price but we don't recommend it.It used to be that in Bangkok and Thailand, you did not have to wear a crash helmet, but the law has changed and you'll be expected to wear a helmet which the motorbike taxi rider will provide for you but forget any idea of a full face crash helmet. Enter the skateboard helmet (at best).
|Motorbike taxis can be found almost anywhere
Not safe at all especially if you've never been on one because you need to balance with the driver and if you don't it could cause and accident. Not only that but many factors about Bangkok traffic makes riding a motorbike dangerous due to the fact that there are no rules. Or, if there are, no-one obeys them and motorbikes are the least of people's concerns.
Motorbike riders also drink Red Bull and can be a bit enthusiastic about how they drive or they think it's a laugh to give you a shocking ride to see how you'll react and so do yourself a favour and avoid motorbikes, and that includes renting one to drive yourself.
Your insurance policy might stipulate that you are not covered for accidents caused by riding a motorbike, especially in Bangkok or Thailand where many, many visitors meet a sticky end or end up having an accident. When we looked into getting BUPA health insurance there was a clause about motorbikes and not paying if an accident was caused by riding one.

Series: Last Call #5
Published by: Big Dog Books on March 17, 2015
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Source: The Author
Format: eARC
Pages: 274
Click it: Goodreads | Amazon
Casey Markham is a man-eater in a rut. Swearing off relationships may keep her heart safe, but she's beginning to question if her casual flings will ever leave her satisfied. She's wondering if it's finally time to let go of the past and stop letting history control her future.
Bad boy biker, Tenn Jennings can't get Casey off his mind. A chance encounter with the beautiful blond has left its mark, and now he's determined to prove her wrong about everything she thought she knew about men.
It's safe to say… Casey Markham has met her match.
I received this book for free from The Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Also in this series: On the Rocks, Make it a Double, Sugar on the Edge, With a Twist
Also by this author: Off Chance, Forever Young, If I Return, On the Rocks, Mitigation, Reparation, Affirmation, Make it a Double, Confessions of a Litigation God, Sugar on the Edge, Alex, With a Twist, Garrett, Clash, Grind, Yield, Zack, Wicked Fall, Ryker, Friction, Hawke, Jilted
One Line: If only Tenn Jennings could prove me wrong!
In My Opinion: Add to cart!
Let me tell you, since the very first book in this series, I have been dying to get to Casey's story. This vivacious, strong-willed, stubborn girl sparked my interest from the very beginning and I was definitely impatient to see what was behind those pretty walls. Her story, although not exactly what I pictured, was still just as awesome as I was hoping for and have come to expect from Bennett. Add in the irresistible charm and flair of Tenn Jennings and you've got yourself a solid romance read right there.
As far as angst and drama goes, this book was pretty low key. There wasn't one particular big blowout, just a few minor slips along their journey to HEA and like I always say, it's nice to get those kinds of stories from time to time. While I will say it felt far too simple and a bit rushed how Casey changed after meeting Tenn, I suppose that can be attributed to the fact that you can't help but be attracted to the man. He can make you do some surprising things and, in Casey's situation, flip your world upside down.
Like I said, Tenn is one of those guys you can't help but fall for. He's talented, successful, sweet, caring, and absolutely amazing between the sheets, or so I've read. Tenn has a child from a previous marriage and I liked how good of a father he is and the part that his daughter and past play into his story with Casey. Tenn also surprised me with how easily he saw through Casey's walls and how well he adapted to her crazy antics. He definitely complimented her personality very well. As for his big secret, I don't think he should've kept it from her as long as he did, even if the similarities to her past were there, but it worked out in the end. Let it be known, I also loved how he did everything and anything he could to prove her wrong, especially during those naughty moments. Mmmm…mmmm…good!
Okay, now Casey. Let's just say that while I love the girl, I really wanted to shake some sense into her. A lot of things about her, once revealed, surprised me. When we learn what it was that caused her to behave the way she has over the years, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Yes, it was a crappy situation, but it wasn't so egregious that it would make someone shut down and closed off completely. I also didn't like how closed off she was with her girlfriends, especially considering how close she is with Gabby. Yes, the reasoning behind it was so blatantly pointed out by Tenn, but still, when she'd blow them off because she just wasn't up for dealing with them I thought, "Why are they even your friends then?!". She had a constant back-and-forth things going with Tenn, pushing him away yet wanting to be with him. Now you know that kind of thing tends to bug me, but luckily, it wasn't too bad. Towards the end she does step it up a notch and even though we don't get much in the way of where her life is going and all, we get a great conclusion to their love story.
Can I just say that the added bonus to this book was that a couple characters from a certain "Off series" of Bennett's makes an appearance?! How awesome is that?! I love it when authors include characters from their other books, but it's even more fantastic when they include characters from another series. Ah!
So yes, while Casey's story wasn't the one I was expecting, it was just as entertaining and appealing as the rest of the series. Bennett just has a way of creating such irresistible men and a plot that flows smoothly, I always find immense enjoyment reading her books. If nothing else, read this book so you can get to know Tenn Jennings. You'll thank me later!

Now, you remember our prompt, somebody in the story finds something they have no intention of returning. Our first character has found something very unusual in the trash.
BOB MONDELLO, BYLINE: (Reading) I found your soul discarded in the street today. On a three-by-five index card, you scrawled in heavy black permanent marker letters: You now own my soul. Initialed under that. Today's date under that. It's a neat little binding contract. I bet it would hold up in the highest court, even if you meant it as a joke. You shouldn't be so cavalier with your immortal essence. I spied it between a wad of chewing gum and a mangled plastic bottle. Anyone could have found this card where it laid half-in, half-out of the gutter with the collected effluvia of a thousand passers-by. But I found it. It's mine.
GOODWYN: That was Bob Mondello reading an excerpt from the story "Litter" written by Kalad Hovatter from Orange, California. Have you ever found something that transports you to the past? Our next character does.
SUSAN STAMBERG, BYLINE: (Reading) It wasn't until months after that night, when they were firmly established as a couple and practically living together, that she finally gave him grief about the shirt. Oh, the bloom is really off the rose now, he'd said smiling. He'd still pull it out occasionally, putting it on despite her groans of protest, not caring a bit how ridiculous it looked. She knew he wore it just to get a rise out of her, to establish himself as a still independent guy, despite the fact that he'd happily let her replace most of his wardrobe by then.
One day when he was at work and she was home with their first son, she'd come across it while searching for something to wear that wasn't yet stained with Will's spit-up. The shirt was lurking toward the back like an embarrassing drunk who won't leave the party. Now, this artifact from another life was in her hands, still just as awful as she remembered. She started to toss it into the Goodwill pile, but stopped. It was precious, this obscenely ugly shirt. She smiled to herself as she folded it carefully into a tidy square, stepped back to gather momentum, and launched it up into the darkest reaches of their closet.
GOODWYN: That was Susan Stamberg reading an excerpt from the story "The Shirt" written by Jennifer Anderson of Shorewood, Wisconsin. If you want to find out what happens next, you can read both stories in their entity at our website, npr.org/threeminutefiction. Be sure to tune in next week for more excerpts from Round 11 of our contest.

There's something in the air…
Wednesday, December 1, 2010
According to Bill Klotz, Home Performance Coordinator at Southern Energy Management, "a typical home has enough small air leaks that add up to keeping a window open wide all year round." Now that's a lot of money vanishing into thin air! Luckily, Bill and the folks at SEM are constantly looking for ways to improve homes by increasing energy efficiency. We're all about conserving energy here at Briar Chapel, so we looked into a test that Bill performs to prevent your air (and your wallet) from leaking.
The blower door, "often the most important piece of equipment [Southern Energy Management] use[s]," is a tool used to measure the total amount of air leaking into or out of any house (or commercial building). By using a red nylon curtain, a fan, and some special equipment, the experts can gauge the air pressure inside and outside of your home and compare the two, consequently determining how much air is leaking in or out of the building.
Surprisingly for most, a home can also be considered "too tight," meaning that it is not receiving proper ventilation. Too few air changes can also pose a problem concerning fresh air and moisture exchange.
The blower door is a required component of essential testing for a home to receive Energy Star certification. So, if your home is Energy Star certified (like all Briar Chapel homes), your home's ventilation shouldn't be a problem; however, it is still a good idea to get it checked every few years just to ensure peak efficiency.
With the months and the seasons flying by, winter is pretty much upon us (despite the unseasonably warm temps we've been enjoying)! Insulation and proper ventilation is most important in the chilly months, when most of us are only concerned about staying warm. With those wintry drafts and high energy bills looming, maybe a blower door test isn't such a bad idea after all…
This Briar Chapel blog was adapted from a recent newsletter and blog post by Southern Energy Management. To read more about them click here. And let us know how you plan to stay warm this winter!

If you haven't noticed or if you're new here, you might not have been seeing my crochet obsession with the Disney Princesses.
Here are the Princesses I have done so far:
My girls are on cloud nine right now as I have been designing and making at least one of these a week!
Our youngest daughter is a total firecracker and when she realized I was making Ariel and ALL THAT RED HAIR, she insisted I wait to eat my dinner and make her the crown with red hair first! It was super cute!
Just like the other crowns, these designs are simple, easy and can be done very quickly. With this crown design, I wanted to somewhat emulate ocean waves. As you'll notice in the pattern and in the photos, instead of points I did waves along the top of this crown.
I also went ahead and did three strands of yarn together for the hair like I did with the Jasmine crown. I have determined I much prefer the thickness with three rather than two.
- H hook
- 1 skein of sea foam green
- 1 skein of red
- scissors
- tapestry needle
You can also add jewel embellishment like I did with the Elsa crown. It's totally up to you!
Work in multiples of 2 so you can easily create a crown for an older child or an adult for a Halloween costume
CH 56 ( this is for a toddler crown), SL ST to CH 1 space; CH 2
Rnd 1 – DC all the way around; SL ST to top of Ch 2; CH 2
Rnd 2 – HDC all the way around; SL ST to top pf CH 2; Ch 1
Rnd 3 – SC all the way around; SL ST to top of CH 1
Rnd 4 – SL ST to first SC space, *HDC in next ST, DC in next ST, TRC in next ST, DC in next ST, HDC in next ST, SL ST in next ST; rep from * to the end; SL ST to CH 1 space; tie off; weave in ends.
Looking back at any of the other crown patterns you can see how easily I attached the hair.
That's it! Pretty easy huh?
The most "time-consuming" thing would be putting the hair on. But really, it doesn't take more than 30 minutes. Most likely less than that, however.
If you make a crown from this pattern I would LOVE to see it! You can tag me on Instagram or you can share it here as well!
If you're not already and you would like to be, head down below and subscribe! You will receive a weekly newsletter which will include ALL the links from the previous week's patterns and projects. PLUS! I'll give you an exclusive sneak peek at what you can look forward to the next week as well as any announcements. Trust me, for 2017 we have some HUGE projects we are working on!
I hope you have an awesome Friday!
Until next time…

My take on this is that her initial reaction, if an honest one, was quite
appropriate. As an eight year veteran staff member in a democratic school or
as a parent, I believe that I am under no obligation to help everyone do
everything, particularly if I believe it will be harmful to them or to
others or to property. I may be obliged not to intervene if I believe the
harm is simply to themselves, but I am under no obligation to help.
How do others see this?

I think I'm decent and this is the best picture I have of me.
Most Helpful Girl
You did now 😉10|10|0
I think I'm decent and this is the best picture I have of me.
You did now 😉
Have an opinion?
most girls don't do this very obtusely
I'm going to give you the same answer as pretty much everyone else... Trust me, you've been checked out... women are just MUCH better at being discreet than men. You might have to be the one to make a move if you find someone you fancy. A lot of women find attractive men unapproachable, and are waiting for them to make the initial move... Try making eye contact and smiling. You'll know how they feel about you then. ;)
Well you're cute. I think girls do it more in a secretive way..
I think you are extremely attractive. But I wouldn't let a man notice I'm checking him out.
You're cute and I don't know why girls wouldn't want to check you out :P :)
You look good :)
Shouldn't have any worries, dude :)
You are attractive. Probably hotter if you smiled :)
def a 10. <3
When I check guys out, I make sure they don't know. I'm sure thas whats happening to you
girls are sneaky about checking guys out. you're hot af.
Don't flex so hard, hon. You're attractive, don't force it.
Not really flexing hard. It was right after the gym. So I just took a quick random shot.
Just because I hit the gym doesn't mean I'm not a call of duty nerd haha
You are more than decent. You're extremely attractive
They are just being slick.
I woul check you out. You're a cutie
Woman have a system. We hardly ever get caught checking a man out... unless we want him to. 😁
okay, yeah you're really attractive. girls definitely check you out but they probably hide it well. start smiling at them!
you are cute :)
Because you're an ass hat. An average looking, arrogant ass hat.
Thank you! Want to tell me what I had for lunch as well?

SOME of the ideas in the city's five-year transport plan are radical.
Cutting speed limits across the Capital, closing streets outside schools at peak times, banning lorries from pollution hot spots and introducing parking charges on Sundays for the first time all sound pretty dramatic.
Most of these proposals are perfectly sensible – as long as they are approached with plenty of common sense – which means taking care to introduce them only in appropriate places.
Research shows that cutting your speed by ten miles an hour – from 40mph to 30mph, or 30mph to 20mph – dramatically reduces injuries caused in any accidents. This has got to be a good thing on most residential streets and at accident blackspots, but it won't be necessary or helpful everywhere.
As tranport leader Lesley Hinds says, the guiding principle should be following the wishes of local communities.
Similarly, banning traffic from outside the school gates at busy times will be impractical in some neighbourhoods, yet in others it could be a huge boon for parents keen to see their kids cycling or walking to school.
Tackling air pollution is important and banning the worst-offending vehicles from certain areas may well be necessary. The one idea which ought to be knocked on the head straight away is parking charges on a Sunday. They would be widely unpopular, unfairly target church-goers and discourage people from visiting the city centre, with the inevitable knock-on effect on traders. There is no common sense in that at all.
Old enemy returns
All the recent concerns over our native trees have centred on the fungus which threatens to devastate Britain's 80m ash trees. The fungal infection chalara fraxinea, which has ravaged other European countries and now spread to the UK, kills 90 per cent of the ash trees it affects.
But in Edinburgh our old enemy – Dutch Elm Disease – is back, and has been responsible for infecting more than 1000 trees in the past year. The disease, spread by bark beetles, is a huge worry for the Capital which has a large population of elm trees, many planted in Victorian times.
Our trees, whether in the Meadows, Bruntfield Links or Princes St Gardens, are such an important feature of our city. Edinburgh City Council should be given all the support it needs from central government to ensure we can stem the spread of the infection and protect one our great assets for the future.

A medium sized orange (one cup of edible sections) contains 21 g of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide energy for your muscles and brain. Whole foods, rather than processed, are the best sources for carbohydrates because they provide the greatest amount of nutrition. Oranges help fuel you through carbohydrates, but they also have the potential to fight disease and hasten weight loss.
Vitamin C
A medium orange provides 100 percent of your daily recommended values of vitamin C. The body cannot store up Vitamin C, so you must look for it in outside sources. Vitamin C helps strengthen the immune system, enhances eyesight, improves your heart health and may make you look younger. In addition to Vitamin C, oranges provide almost 10 percent of your daily recommended amounts of folate, and 7 percent of B1 and potassium.
The carbohydrates in oranges include four grams of dietary fiber. The FDA recommends you get at least 21 g of fiber a day–and if you are under 50 or a male, the recommendations are slightly higher. Fiber helps with the health of your digestive tract. Oranges contain a specific type of fiber called pectin, which has been shown to keep you full longer and reduce your intake of calories for hours after ingestion. The Journal of the American College of Nutrition reported in a study in 1997 that participants fed pectin with their orange juice stayed full for up to four hours after its consumption while participants who drank plain orange juice or ate ice cream were hungry just an hour later.
Naturally Sweet
Twenty-four percent of the sugars in oranges come from fructose. Fructose is low on the glycemic index, meaning that it is unlikely to cause the spikes and dips in blood sugar that occur with corn syrup and table sugar.
Low Calorie
An average-sized orange contains 80 calories. They come in their own package, making them very portable. A whole orange also takes longer to eat than a glass of juice, and contains 30 fewer calories. Replacing higher calorie snacks like chips and cookies with an orange can save you hundreds of calories a day, and possibly up to 20 pounds a year.
Overall Health
Oranges count as a fruit in your daily intake of fruit and vegetables. The greater your consumption of fruits and vegetables, the more healthy you are likely to be. A large study, performed by the Harvard-based Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study, tracked over 100,000 participants' fruit and vegetable intake for 14 years. The findings clearly showed that a higher consumption of fruits and vegetables lessened participants' risk for cardiovascular disease.

Is it an Ad or a whole page?!?
To me, this ad seems absolutely intrusive. I'm not too sure if bigger is better in this case....
A better question might be why you (and I) are seeing it at all...
I see this quite often, and had the same thought - this is a ridiculous ad, the type I fully expect my membership to pay for me NOT to see.
I see it as well. It links to the site of the author that made the snail art car selling fire pits. At least that's what it linked to when I saw it a few times. It may change around.
Oh good it's not just me! The 'ibles ads are totally fine, but an ad on this size is just ridiculous!
Why don't any of you have adblock installed?
1. We shouldn't need it, since one of the benefits of "pro" is that we shouldn't see things like this. 2. I do, and I still see it.
oh i see lol, im not pro and havent seen it :P thats wierd
I've got an ad blocker, but when I wasn't "pro" I unblocked Instructable's ads because they provide them some income.
they supply income if you click them or not, its not google adsense. Instructables is paid a certain amount of money based on there popularity to display a certain size add on a certain area of there site. I mean if all of a sudden everyone in the world used adblock then maybe we might have to fear but as long as there are computer illeterates website adds will be lucrative
You have sound argument, and I will not try to convince you otherwise.

This is easily the most popular photo I've ever taken if my Flickr stats and numerous Gothamist appearances are any indication. This wasn't my Project 365 photo for that day and it really was just a throwaway shot, at least in my mind it was, but I thought it was funny enough to post. I didn't know the origin of these guys being in Times Square, that they were essentially scumbags who wanted money for photos.
This photo was taken on November 29, 2009.

Review: "Win It All" Doesn't Have Anything To Say We Haven't Already Heard
There are good movies, bad movies, and then the kind of movies that fall somewhere in the middle. This weird space for viewers where you're left feeling indifferent. Those kind of movies are the hardest to review because you can't necessarily recommend it, but you also don't think it is a complete waste of time to watch either. You know what those movies are good for? To put on when you have things around the house to do and want something to watch that you can leave and come back to multiple times without having to pause it. Something that can play in the background that will hold your interest for a few minutes at a time. "Win It All" falls into that category. There's nothing wrong with this movie, other than the fact that it doesn't do anything that hasn't been done before. Films like "Rounders" and "The Gambler" and many more have focused on the gambling addict that wants to find a way to redeem his life through making the same mistakes over and over and hoping for a different outcome. If you're going to make that movie again you need to add a unique twist to it, or a creative subplot that makes it more than just what's on the surface. Unfortunately "Win It All" stayed above water with the script and lets you wade there for an hour and a half.
While director Joe Swanberg is known for telling unconventional stories, "Win It All" lacked that. Everything is pretty by-the-book when it comes to this film: a gambler that can't stop and can't win; a brother and sister-in-law that want him to the work for the family business and get his life together; a new girl that inspires him to live a better life; the addiction that won't let him quit. As soon as you start the movie and get the basic story, you already know where it's going and you already know how it's going to end. I was waiting for the film to take a sudden left turn but it stayed on the same path until the end credits.
The film stars Jake Johnson (New Girl, Ceremony), Joe Lo Truglio (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Wet Hot American Summer) and Keegan-Michael Key: three comedians who are funny in everything they do but failed to really bring any kind of comedy to this movie. They all play fully realized characters that are interesting in their own right, but the story isn't too concerned with their backstory or focusing on anything more than what's happening in the moment. It's just another opportunity missed in this film that has you wanting so much more but fails to give it to you.
I will say the cinematography in this movie was my favorite part. The look of the film is grainy and reminded me of watching old films on VHS; adding a charm to the movie that I wasn't expecting. It has that late 80's, early 90's look to it that brought me back to a time when I would watch anything and everything and love them all equally.
A movie doesn't have to take a stance on whether it's a comedy or a drama because, much like real life, the two aren't mutually exclusive. But there are films where it would have helped deciding which one it wanted to be and "Win It All" is one of those films. Either make this a dark, gut-churning drama or a comedy that offers a lot of laughs. Swanberg tried to blend the two genres but since it didn't lean heavily one way or the other it coasts in this awkward stage where you're neither invested in what's happening or at least getting a few laughs while going on the journey.
I'm sure there's an underlying theme that I'm missing. A director of Swanberg's caliber always has something to say, I just didn't get what it was with this film. I've watched interviews with the cast and crew where they all seem genuinely excited that this movie is out there and available to watch; it's apparent a lot of hard work was put into getting this movie made. I just wish some of that translated on the screen, and because it didn't, I'm finding it hard to recommend it.
"Win It All" is currently streaming on Netflix.
