Welcome to Boston: Logan "Masshole" Airport
How did I know the Patriots were gonna roll through the AFC championship this weekend? Because I didn't have to look any further than Logan Boston International airport.
I've always said you can tell a lot about a city's passion for its sports by the people at the airport. They say the definition of character is what you do when no one is watching. And I'd argue that for a sports fan, wearing replica t-shirts/ jerseys while you travel is the definition of doing just that.
No one cares what you're wearing at the airport. No one is going to see what your traveling in, because I'd bet my life the people below don't do "Facebook" or "Instagram". By taking the extra minute to show their Pats pride by throwing on their Patriots jersey before their unmarried, Bud Light drinking Aunt/Uncle drops them off to go to Disney World, the fan gains nothing but gives everything.
Because lets face it: replica tee shirts and jerseys aren't comfortable. Especially when your sitting for a long time. The man in front of me in a Brady jersey kept itching where the stitching on the #12 chaffed against the crease of his stomach the whole flight like he was a Kindergartner with chicken pox. Did he complain? No. Did he listen to his wife when she said "YA PRAHBABLY SHOULDT WEAAH THAT BAHHB ITS GONNA BE SO ITCHY FOR YAH ON THE PLANE." No. You wanna see the character of a New England Sports fan? Look no further than Terminal C on a Saturday morning.
Prime Examples:
- There was a woman wearing a "They hate us cuz they ain't us" t-shirt in line at our gate. Her husband walked over to her and said "Hey hun, I got you a diet Snapple." she glared at him with a look of terror only previously matched by the climax of the Harry Potter Movies. "Come ahhn, John, I'm not gonna drink that. It's all chemicals and you know I like the regular raspberry. This doesn't have any of the nutrients."
- The older man in the security line, wearing a shirt, tie, leather jacket, and strong but subtle patriots pin. He was on the phone and I heard him say " Of course I didn't respond- you know I don't answer texts after 8 p.m."
- The man sitting behind us, in Acsics running sneakers, Adidas three stripes windbreaker pants, and a t-shirt sporting the line, "In dog beers I've only had one," that for some reason also had a Red Sox logo on it. No action required from this guy.
Those were my top 3, but I could have picked out legit 50. The common denominator here is that Pats fans are bootstraps, blue-collar, die for their team people. They all know what they need to get ready to base their entire emotional well being on a football game that comes around once a year: getting the full nutrients from their Snapples, having each Bud Light to count as 1/7 of a beer, or not to be bothered at night on the weekdays. To each their own. We may not all be the same, but we'll all be ready.
I touched on this in a tweet, but I got the typical, "This is more evidence the patriots are cheaters" messages on my Twitter. I heard about the Patriots fan being arrested for pulling the fire alarm at the Steelers hotel (which just so happened to be nearby Logan Airport.) I'm not saying I condone it. But I am saying, to the Steelers fans and general population of people who "hate us cause they ain't us" that are up in arms calling us cheaters, that if you won more games during the regular season you would have gotten home field advantage. You guys could have avoided the entire New England, Logan airport area, aka the capital of masshole mania, in the first place.

Mexico's IP Office Surprised Its Congress By Signing ACTA, And Now Hopes To Win Their Support
from the good-luck-with-that deptRight after the EU Parliament somewhat emphatically rejected ACTA, there was a report saying that ACTA was pretty much dead in Mexico as well -- especially since the Congress there had been against ACTA since before it was "cool" to be against ACTA. However, the very next day, the Mexican government surprised an awful lot of people by signing ACTA anyway.
Of course, the agreement still needs ratification, and that seems like an uphill battle. However, the Mexican IP Office -- major backer of ACTA -- is now claiming that it believes that the Mexican legislature can be convinced to sign on. Of course, it would help if the Mexican IP Office was even the slightest bit intellectually honest. For example, in explaining its reasons for signing on, it points out that the EU signed on -- which is kind of funny coming so soon after the EU Parliament's wholesale rejection of ACTA. Seems like that would be a point worth mentioning, rather than implying that ACTA was going to be implemented in the EU. This move still has the US's fingerprints all over it. The US needed some sort of "win" for ACTA these days, and coming so soon after the US allowed Mexico to enter TPP negotiations, it's hard not to think that there was some horse trading going on here.

2016 Most Eligible Mix and Mingle
JEZEBEL Magazine hosted its annual 20 Most Eligible Atlantan's Mix & Mingle, featuring the 20 most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes in Atlanta. As guests made their way down the red carpet into Dive Bar Buckhead they were greeted by paparazzi snapping photos on a star-lined walkway, compliments of Let's Celebrate's Hollywood themed decor. Each guest was given a complimentary drink ticket to enjoy one of the two signature cocktails or Michelob Ultra. They were also prompted to pick out a celebrity face button after entry so that throughout the party while mixing and mingling, they could find their famous duo match.
Dive Bar was decorated with vibrant and glitter-filled Hollywood decorations, courtesy of We Rent Atlanta and Let's Celebrate. DJ EuroAndy Events set the tone of the night with his entertaining music all while doing a few special shout outs to all sponsors and vendors participating that evening.
As guests made their way to the back deck, they were greeted by JEZEBEL bellhop models with customizable cupcakes from Create Your Cupcake as well as a full cupcake bar to create their own personalized creation. Guests also had the opportunity to snack on the delicious Skinny Pop as they mix and mingled through out the evening. The entire night red carpet inspired night was captured on by Clear Choice Photo Booth as guests took fun images in their exclusive booth.

10 Things Hitler Should Have Done Before He Died
No one wants to die, especially if you're one of those men who are committing sins above the average number of sins an average person should commit (don't tell God). Another thing, no one wants to die if you're as bad as Hitler (because you know hell is waiting for you).
According to Aristotle, man is born with the capacity to execute fair and proper judgment towards things. Before judging Hitler as an evil tyrant, maybe it's time to offer sympathy and make him less evil just for a few hours or even a few days. As a temporary Hitler sympathizer, here are some of the things I would have suggested Hitler if he was to live today and then die for the purpose of making his life less miserable.
- Hitler should have pursued his passion for art. He should have painted flowers and beautiful landscapes for him to realize that planting daffodils is better than conquering countries.
- Hitler should have smoked weed with the Jews in his garage so he could realize that being a racist is worse than being a drug addict.
- Hitler should have watched a lot of porn so he would be staying inside his room and would have forgotten to declare war against Russia, Italy and UK.
- Hitler should have created a Facebook account so he could get the opportunity to communicate with the Jews, tag photos comment on status and get to like posts.
- Hitler should have killed Paris Hilton and Britney Spears . He could have slit Paris' throat for her negative depiction of women in pop culture and rich girls as spoiled brats. He could have mutilated Britney's genitalia for not wearing panties and for being an irresponsible mother.
- Hitler should have gone to the Philippines, visit the beaches and appreciate peace not merely as a concept but as an advocacy.
- Hitler should have done his hair in dreadlocks so he could be a bit cool and he would learn to understand other people's culture.
- Hitler should have watched the Scrappy Coco movie and then get to realize that changing the world could be done in hair salons.
- Hitler should have talked to Megan Fox and then tell her to show some personality, not just some skin. Next time a reporter interviews her, I hope he could show a slice of her intellect (if she has one).
- Hitler should have played in a black metal band and inflict violence and hatred only in songs, not to his people.

1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL "Classic White" Only 93,480 Miles
- Condition: Used
- Make: Mercedes-Benz
- Model: SL-Class
- Year: 1980
- Mileage: 93,480
- Transmission: Automatic
- Vehicle Title: Clear Want to buy? Contact seller!
1980 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
1980Mercedes-Benz450SL "Classic White" Only 93,480 Miles
Our seller has owned this "Classic" styleMercedesconvertible for fourteen years. He purchased it being told hewas the third owner, and the mileage was just 83,271 at that time. Because he used it as a "fair weather" car for spring and summer fun, he only averaged about 750 miles per year! He kept up with the maintenance and does not know of anything it needs to simply enjoy the way he has over the years. It came from the factory with both hard and soft tops (he is includinga "ratchet-lift" for the hardtop). The wheels are a factory style and have been chromed. As you may know, this is the last year for the 450SL, and the cast Iron 4.5 liter V8 that powered the US version of the SL since it's introduction in 1972. Our seller has a folder of maintenancereceipts during his ownership that will be passed along. Our seller is in his 70's and simply ready to sell due to his limited use of the car. At his modest asking price, you should be able to enjoy this one for many years, as he did, and see most of your money back if you decide to sell.
We welcome a "Pre-Purchase" inspection prior to the end of the auction and are available to answer questions either by e-mail or phone.
Our phone number is (248) 589-2700 (We are open every day!)
We have a 100+ car indoor display facility in the Detroit area. You may view this vehicle 7 days a week!
For 28 years we have been offering professional selling services to private owners.
If you or a friend has a vehicle for sale, protect yourself from the risk and inconvenience of selling your own vehicle... call or email today.

Florida International University added itself to an inglorious roll call this week when officials at the Miami university's College of Education were forced to notify more than 19,000 students and 88 faculty members that their personal information had been exposed by an unsecure database.
FIU officials began sending out letters to affected students last week notifying them that a database used with the college's E-Folio software was not secured, giving unauthorized users an opportunity to access names, social security numbers and other information at their will.
The E-Folio software tracked student and faculty performance versus state and national teacher education standards.
Thus far, FIU officials say there's no evidence that any of the unsecured data has been used for identity theft or any other nefarious purpose.https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204660766;s=9477;x=7936;f=201812281312070;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20392931;e=i
Officials also said the database is now secured, but they still advised those affected to check their credit scores and keep close tabs on all their personal and financial information for the foreseeable future.
Earlier this month, Penn State University wrestled with its second major data breach in less than year, alerting some 15,000-plus students that their data was exposed after a botnet successfully usurped control of a university computer storing social security numbers and other personal data.
Similar data breach incidents occurred earlier this spring at Vanderbilt university and at the University of California San Francisco.
Security experts said colleges and universities remain a popular target for hackers because of the generally lax security standards and vast pools of research data typically found on university servers and computers.

This recaps some of the highlights from the first few sessions of the Market Research in the Mobile World Conference being held in Cincinnati 7/18-7/19. The event sold out with 300+ attendees from Australia to China to Brazil, London and of course the U.S.
NOTE: This was originally posted on newqual.org, a blog focused on qualitative research. There are many attendees here from the quantitative side of the industry who should be blogging and tweeting from that perspective.
From Nathan Eagle, JANA
- No technology has been adopted faster in human history than mobile
- Mobile penetration is saturated in developed countries — growth will be from developing countries
- India and China will lead the growth of middle class consumption in the future, no longer North America and Northern Europe
- In Viet Nam, there are more mobile devices than people
- Technology has allowed researchers to be in the minds of consumers real time, which means big data is generated
- Yet, "succinct, pointed succulent pieces of information and patterns" have become "the holy grail" of market research
- Her analytical work flow focuses on what's the overriding business issue, what are the core issues, and what are the insights?
- Story boards drive development of her market research presentations, or in her case… help craft her stories
- Using her creativity even further when dealing with knowledge transfer… she has also dressed up as a doctor who was there to "diagnose" the organization's business problem and then hand over a written prescription providing the solution
Off to do man-on-the-street video interviews with attendees… catch you back here later!

Picking up dropped balls is a wonderful way to provide top-notch service to clients and pay it forward--never know when I will need someone to come to rescue me in my hour of need. It certainly beats finger pointing and playing the blame game while the ball remains on the floor and the wheels of the transaction come to a grinding halt.
The dreaded call from the lender came on Monday. The bank approved the buyer but not the building--yes, the condo's CC&Rs were not acceptable to US Bank. The buyer quickly decided to move forward with the developer's lender instead of trying to get the HOA to change the CC&Rs--a wise move in my opinion. We asked lender #1 to forward the buyer's information to lender #2. On Monday we were told it was done. On Wednesday lender #2 said he never received it. Lender #1 apologized for the "mix up" and said he would send it out on Thursday. Not good enough for this agent.
My business partner picked up the loan package in Torrance and delivered it to the Brendwood office of lender #2. One week was wasted and now time is definitely of the essence. Sometimes it is best to do it yourself and know it is done, delivered and back on track. The wheels of the transaction are back in motion!

"My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat - or in film's case 'run on' - manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing."
- Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol, perhaps the most recognized artist of the late 20th century, began working as a commercial illustrator in the early 1950's. Transitioning into fine art, Warhol produced one of the most iconic bodies of contemporary work, defining Pop Art and influencing popular culture at the same time. His imagery put forth in repetitive fashion the striking glamour, intrigue and underbelly of urban society. Highlighting, and perhaps contributing to their ascension, were icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Elvis Presley, juxtaposed with such series as Warhol's car crashes, electric chairs and portraits of Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong. Warhol understood the notion that, "in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." Forty years later, as social media drives much of the content we consume, Warhol's prediction has become a pervasive reality.
In addition to his groundbreaking imagery, Warhol also re-imagined the concept of the artist's studio, making work in what he called The Factory. The Factory was a communal space where artisans, musicians and actors would gather regularly. Works were produced with the aid of mechanical processes such as silkscreen printmaking and allowed Warhol to blur the lines between fine art and commercial production. The Factory challenged the notion of what constitutes an original work of art and what role the artist should play in its creation.
Warhol's impact on the artists that would follow after him was profound. Many contemporary artists living and working today (including Narrative artists such as Thorpe, Pierson and Everhart) cite Warhol as one of the most important influences on their work. Coincidentally, in 1959 as Warhol was transitioning from commercial work to fine art, his last commercial project was illustrating six stories for Doubleday publishing to be included in their Best in Children's Books series. These little known projects provide a glimpse into the artist's progression and may have been influenced in some way by Narrative artist Theodor Seuss Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss), who in 1957 wrote two of the most widely recognized children's books in the english language, The Cat in the Hat and The Grinch.

Koh Phangan was the second island we visited during our Thailand adventure, and our main reason for wanting to visit was to check out the famous Full Moon Party.
To get to Koh Phangan from Koh Samui, we took a ferry for about 10 USD a person. It is cheapest to book your inter-island ferry's at the pier, but many travel agencies will book a taxi/boat ride combo for you, which is helpful, for almost the same price.
Why Koh Phangan?
If you've done any research about things to do in Thailand, you've probably heard about the 1x monthly Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan.
The Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan happens once a month in Haad Rin, and after reading up on it and watching plenty of Youtube videos on it, we knew we had to check it out.
Here's what you need to know about the full moon party in Koh Phangan:
BOOK EVERYTHING IN ADVANCE! We waited until a few nights before to book our hotel (rookie move) and nearly everything was full. We even got to our hotel and they almost didn't let us check in because they said they were overbooked (until they saw us vlogging and then upgraded our room...hmmm)
FYI waiting until the last minute to book your Thailand accommodations *usually* is the best way to save money and get last minute deals, EXCEPT when it has to do with the Full Moon Party.
Make sure to book your ferry tickets (to and from Koh Phangan) in advance as well - don't expect to go to the party and then buy a ticket to leave the next morning. The boats/ferries/hotels all fill up quickly because most people try to come to Koh Phangan the day of the Full Moon Party and leave the day after.
Ferry bookings/taxis can usually be done through the hotel/resort/hostel you're staying at, and when we were in Koh Samui our resort even had it's own ferry that went to and from the Full Moon Party, so it is possibly you'll even be able to book your accommodations on another island and just take a ferry boat to and from the Full Moon Party. I knew after a night of partying that I wouldn't be up for that, so we opted to get a hotel about 20 minutes from Haad Rin and just take the shuttle back and forth from our hotel, so that we could leave whenever we wanted. (My party-till-6am days are behind me 😂)
Taxis are EVERYWHERE, but I would still recommend coordinating a taxi to and from the Full Moon Party especially if you aren't staying right in Haad Rin. As a matter of fact, I would recommend NOT staying in Haad Rin so that when you are ready to sleep you are away from the craziness/noise.
We stayed in Haad Yao which was great, and we even scheduled a shared taxi for 300 baht (about 10 USD) to and from the party that let us leave whenever we wanted to. (Something similar can be arranged through pretty much all hotels/hostels/resorts)
Full Moon Party Prices
Compared to the US, everything in Koh Phangan, even during the Full Moon Party, is extremelyu cheap. It was about 100 baht to get in the party (about 3 USD), buckets of liquor (small bottle + your mixer) were about 10 USD - and definitely enough for 2 people to share.
There is also tons of street food available at the Full Moon Party for great prices, you could definitely get a full meal for less than 3USD, but if you have any food sensitivities or preferences, don't expect for there to be many options for you (unless you're ok with mystery meat). Most of the street food was typical Thai fare: pad thai, fried rice, etc. (DELICIOUS but not super allergy-friendly).
Things to know about the full moon party
- You will have to pay to use the bathrooms, however most people (men) just go in the ocean (seriously, at any given time there were at least 50 men peeing into the ocean)
- There is lots of trash/broken glass on the beach, so definitely be careful and if you're worried about it, wear close toed shoes
- Everyone wears neon clothing and body paint! Don't worry, most places where you can buy your alcohol provide free body paint to paint yourself. There are also tons of places selling neon shirts, but unless you want to ditch the one you were wearing before, it's best to get one pre-party
- The Full Moon Party means lots of craziness, drunkenness, dancing and people watching. Most people start arriving around 9PM and stay until 6am or later...
- Make sure your hotel has AC!!! I thought after living in Maui i'd be ok with no AC but I am SO glad we made sure that everywhere we stayed in Thailand had AC because I would've been such a bitch without it (especially when hungover). The heat and humidity in Thailand is unreal - unlike anything i've ever experienced and I LOVE hot weather.
Besides the Full moon party...
Koh Phangan is SO much more than just a party island. We actually loved the beaches here even more than in Koh Samui. The island (away from Haad Rin) also had lots of healthy, vegetarian and vegan options, and even more coffee + breakfast spots than I had expected.
Again, motorbike is the cheapest way to get around or shared taxi. And they aren't hard to find, just start walking in any direction and they will honk at you which is their way of asking if you want a ride.
Overall, I loved Koh Phangan (even more than Koh Samui, surprisingly) and not just because of the Full Moon Party. The beaches were a little nicer, there were more healthy food options, and it was a little quieter (especially once we got out of Haad Rin). I wish we could've stayed longer!

Three Boys, One Terrorist Group and a Message for Democracies
A kidnapping in Israel is a wake-up call about the perils of giving antidemocratic groups access to elections.
The people of Israel pray in quiet hope for the safe return of three Israeli teenagers, Naftali Frankel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, kidnapped by Hamas operatives over a week ago. The fate of these innocent boys remains unknown, but the true nature of Hamas and its intentions should now be obvious to everyone.
Hamas is a designated terrorist organization, ideologically committed to an extremist anti-Semitic, anti-Western agenda that sees the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an endless religious war, with no rights and no legitimacy...

Over the years, people have asked what 'kind' of yoga I teach. My response: I teach what I know and in every class, I learn.

Title: Shatter Me
By: Tahereh Mafi
Series: Shatter Me Book 1
Publisher: Harper Collins (November 15th, 2011)
My Copy: Advanced Reading Copy from Publisher
BookWhisperer Rating:
About the book:
Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days. The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don't fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war- and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she's exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.
Shatter Me is a compelling and terrifying look at an alternate reality that is almost plausible. Mafi's futuristic world strangely resembles our own, and it is realize what a terrifying future this could be. Although this author shows us that in this reality not everyone was accepting of a destroyed future, and found that in the presence of hysteria it is easy to overcome the weak. Our story is told by Juliette, who is a young girl that has lived a life of neglect. Not because she was abused or beaten, but because she is special. After many fatal incidences she was taken away to a asylum where she could no longer hurt anyone with her touch; regardless if everyone of the incidences in her past had been accidents. When a young man is bunked in her cell she finds herself drawn to someone for the first time in her life. While knowing that this friendship has no where to go from here; she learns to enjoy the comfort of a compassionate person even if she can not touch them. Comfort is short lived when a major betrayal will take away everything she has come to enjoy.
Juliette has no idea that she has been a object for various individuals attention for a long time, and they will stop at nothing to find her. When she finds herself in the clutches of a psychotic mad man; she discovered there are things out there far worse than herself. This story was addictive, gruesome, and overwhelming at times; but after starting I knew I had no chance of being able to walk away from this story. Readers will find themselves reading "just a few more pages", until they barrel through the end of this story. I can not wait to see what the next book as to offer, and this start is opening the door for a fresh and new series that will knock readers off their feet.

Best of 2015
This was a really difficult project. I shot over 25,000 images in 2015. Too many by any measure. But of what value are any of these images if they just sit collecting virtual dust in my photo catalogue? They need to be seen. They need to be mulled over. Discussed. Dismissed even. But definitely not ignored.
One cannot display 25,000 pictures easily. Printing them would be prohibitively expensive. There are so many crappy images, junk really, in that batch. And many repeats or series that hardly differ from one to the next. The only option is to select a few that might be representative of the entire collection in some way.
A friend suggested this exercise could help me recognize a style or some common thread in my art, some recurring theme maybe. This alone seemed like a good reason to proceed. But additionally, it might be a chance to delete a lot of images that in the old days of film and prints would have gone in the waste basket.
At a purely mechanical level, the process is simple enough. I created copies of all 25K images and then quickly ran through them all applying a star to any that seemed notable. Even if the image was of dubious value, I gave a star. This left me with about 500 images to consider more carefully. But while this system is straightforward enough, every single decision was fraught with difficulty.
Many images have some emotional value to me. There may be someone in the image who is dear or it may be of an event that brings intense emotions with it. Do I keep these images? Some are of people I hardly know, but they are beautifully shot or framed. Without the emotional value, do I keep these? Then there are the images which tell a story or ask you, the viewer to imagine a story. What if such an image is poorly framed or badly exposed?
And then there is that concept of "Body of Work". An image may stand out or make sense, not by itself, but because of it fitting into a body of work.
In the end, I tried to balance all of these issues while making my selections.
I reviewed these first 500 selections and slowly isolating images by repetitive selection I honed my set down to 24 images.
But now I am filled with angst. Are these really my best? What is "best"? Are these the ones I want to put out here for the world to see and judge? But what about all those other images that I really love? How can you judge the merit of an image without benefit of knowing the entire body of my images?
I have to ignore these fears and just put myself, my images, out in public and accept the feedback I receive. The good feedback (i.e. constructive critiques, suggestions for improvement, questions of motivation, etc.) and the bad (i.e. "oh that's lovely", "I could have done that with my cell phone", "Who are you, you pompous prat", etc).
Now here is an interesting discovery as I pursued this exercise. As to the matter of "style", I seem to favour B&W images over colour images. I have known all along that I have a "thing" for B&W but I was not aware to what extent. Of my final set of twenty four images, there are NO colour images. I tried and tried to include a few colour images but they simply do not speak to me the way B&W does even though so many of my colour images are really lovely.
I have found that I tend to prefer portraits and images with people over landscapes and still life images. Maybe this is all the analysis I'll offer and instead wait to hear your reactions to my set.
I'm including all the images here in this blog posting and I'll put copies on my Farcebook and Flickr accounts. And I am going to print a book (probably via Blurb) of these for our own personal pleasure.
I really do, honestly, look forward to your comments, whether just a "I like these" or some details of what you like or don't like. Please feel free to speak up.

Happy Friday!

I don't know why I feel overwhelmed, but I do. We are starting the move this weekend, which I am so excited about but I started packing things and there is SO much. We were just going to move the small stuff this weekend and I don't even think we will be able to accomplish all that. Also, like I said earlier this week, I am running the half marathon on Sunday and have my first opening statement exercise in PC on Monday plus my homework. I usually like to get ahead over the weekend but I just don't see how that is going to happen this weekend.
Then, I went to the DFW Nest Board (I only get to get on about once a day now! Sad.) and found out another one of the ladies on there had a miscarriage. I think I feel overwhelmed about my life and then it seems like so often lately I am reading about people losing their babies and I feel bad for feeling overwhelmed about my life. I can't even imagine what they are all going through. If you have extra prayers - please keep, in general, people who have lost their children in your prayers.
I know this is all going to go by fast and everything will calm down and things aren't really THAT stressful right now. Just, if you know my personality, I think about all the things I have to do and get done and I let myself get consumed with everything. I would like to say I am going to work on that but I think that's just how I am at this point!
On the bright side, even though it will be a busy weekend, it's about to be the weekend!! Yay! AND, it's only two weeks until I get Spring Break which is even better!
Hope everyone else is having a smooth, easy week :)

Little Diddy About Jack & Diane...
I don't really know what that has to do with anything, but I did listen to that song on my way to school this morning and it made me dance a little :)
Sorry I don't update much anymore. School is so tiring. I can't wait for Spring Break in a couple weeks!!
Tim came in town this weekend again (he's great) and we just kind of had a laid-back weekend. On Friday we ate dinner at Cracker Barrel (YUMMY) and watched TV. Saturday, I had a review for the MPRE, which is the ethics test you have to take in addition to taking the bar to be an attorney. I am taking it on March 7th. Saturday afternoon and night we just hung out at the house - I made dinner and did homework and Tim did some work as well. Sunday we went running, 7.5 miles, and then went to Dad and Nancy's for dinner.
We have our first half-marathon on Sunday. It is called the "Waco Half" by most people but is actually the Scott & White Miracle Match Marathon. I'm really excited about it. Also, we get to start moving in our house this weekend!! So, Tim is going to come here Friday, we are going to load up all the small stuff we can fit in our cars and go start working on moving stuff in and tearing down the wallpaper/painting. Then, we are going to come back to Waco on Saturday so we can run the half on Sunday. Another busy weekend.
Also, next Monday, I have to do my first exercise in PC - an Opening Statement. I have to represent Burger King in a negligence suit. Hopefully it will go well. After I do my opening statement, I have to be the judge for three more. Not like I make the decisions, but if someone objects I have to rule on the objection.
Went to the eye doctor today for the first time in two years. It feels SO good to have new contacts and the doctor was super awesome and let me only pay my copay even though I don't have an insurance card yet because we just got new insurance. I just have to bring her the card next week.
I guess that's about all. Sorry everything has been so boring lately. When I have school so much I don't have time to do anything exciting. Maybe I'll have some pictures after this weekend of the half marathon and some of the new house.
Hope everyone has a great week!

I made it through my first week of PC! This weekend we went to Austin for Tim's friend's wedding. John and Diana got married at Mandola Winery in Driftwood, TX. It was beautiful and the food was awesome! Mandola is the cousin of Carrabba and I L-O-V-E Carrabba's so I was pretty excited about it. The wedding was really pretty and the couple was so happy. I really like weddings.
We came back on Sunday and just went to my dad and Nancy's for dinner. I studied so I could get a little ahead to make the week easier for me.
I got called on in both PC classes last week. It didn't necessarily go as wonderful as a hoped, but it wasn't too bad and I didn't get a memo, so that was great! I'm just trying to truck on through and hoping it starts going by really fast.
I don't have too much else to update about - sorry :( I forgot to bring the camera to the wedding so I don't have any pictures to show y'all. I'll try to find some fun and exciting things to post since my life isn't too fun and exciting right now.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Better Mood
My friend, Pete, who goes to law school with me posted a music video on my facebook that totally cheered me up. On a survey thing on facebook the other day, I had to put a band that started with the letter "L" and I put "LFO," which is a band that had a couple hits in the late 90s. Pete made fun of me a little and I told him their hit song "Summer Girls" was my favorite song ever. He saw that I was in a bad mood and posted the video of the song for me on facebook. I just finished listening to it and dancing around the room :)
I can't figure out how to post the video directly in this post, so here's the link to it on YouTube.
Go watch it - it will cheer you up, too!
Thanks, Pete!!!

Bad Mood
Tim sent me flowers today. 20 tulips - they are beautiful and came in this really cute pink and red polkadot vase. They are all different colors. His nickname for me is Tulip. I'm not really sure how/when he decided on it but it has been a long time and it's because of tulips being my favorite flower.
Other than that, I am in a really bad mood today. I don't know why. I've been getting pretty good sleep but I think just sitting in class for six hours a day and then coming home and reading for a minimum of four hours just wears me out. I've had two migraines in the past week. Usually it is months and months between each of the migraines I get.
We are going to Austin this weekend for a wedding and I'm excited about getting away for a weekend. I know I'll make it through this. I'm just grumpy...
Hope everyone has had a nice week!

First Day
Sorry I didn't post a weekend update. I will try to do that today, if possible.
Today is my first day of Practice Court. I won't be able to use a computer at all, so I'm not even bringing it to school today. I might end up bringing it later just so I can use it when I have a little break, but I'm going to see how it goes first. If you don't know what Practice Court (dubbed PC by Baylor students) is, go look a few posts down and I explain it.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Wish me luck!

I finished finals today, yippee! Also, we found a house to rent! I am so excited. It is in the neighborhood we really wanted to be in and is a three bedroom, two bathroom with a great backyard, two living rooms, a dining room, a fireplace, and a really cool little house in the backyard with a bar built into it!
We are going to move in in March, probably over my Spring Break but I won't be living there full time until May. There are a few things we are going to do to it, like change the curtains and paint the two bathrooms. Also, the cabinets in the kitchen have wallpaper on them, so we are going to strip that and paint them. The landlord told us we could do things to it and, if it would improve the value of the house, he would split the cost with us. The carpet in the bedrooms and the second living room is green so that's not the greatest, but it doesn't look too bad so we will keep it.
I am going to post pictures but I want to wait until we get the painting done and stuff moved in and I'll show y'all before and after. I think we might look for a new table and chairs because ours is from WalMart and is over five years old. I'd like to find some that have more than four chairs so we can seat more people. We also might have to get some extra furniture because we don't have enough for two living rooms.
We are so lucky to have found it and would have missed out if Jen from The Nest had not sent me the information. We are very thankful to her and so excited to be in her neighborhood soon :)
Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Well, I'm studying for finals so nothing exciting has happened. I had one on Saturday and I have five more to go. Tim came in for the weekend to keep me company. He got a raise, so I guess that is one exciting thing that happened!
Other than that, I hope everyone enjoys watching the Super Bowl. While you are eating good food, rooting for your team, and drinking your choice beverage, think of me studying for Sentencing and Information Privacy Law! Thank goodness this is the last year that law school will interfere with the Super Bowl for me!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. I'll update on Thursday after I get done with the tests.

starting from $215 however, have been sold as expensive as $2750 that is not possible for
everyone to own. Don't be disheartened, because the number of people who can own these
stylish shoes is obviously less than those who can't afford them. Some kind shoe makers
introduced some affordable alternatives of the popular Yeezy Air shoes for those who are
dreaming to have one. These are the replicas and are manufactured from quality materials that

This is so crews can get to patients with life-threatening conditions first so they aren't put at risk.
Our campaign will also prompt patients to ask themselves if they are making the right decision in dialling 999 or can consider alternatives.
What happens when you call 999?

In a media interview in January 2010, scientist Robert Yeats sounded the alarm on Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as an 'earthquake time bomb', a region at critical risk of major seismic activity. One week later, a catastrophic earthquake struck the city, leaving over 100,000 dead and triggering a humanitarian crisis. In this timely study, Yeats sheds new light on other earthquake hotspots around the world and the communities at risk. He examines these seismic threats in the context of recent cultural history, including economic development, national politics and international conflicts. Descriptions of emerging seismic resilience plans from some cities provide a more hopeful picture. Essential reading for policy-makers, infrastructure and emergency planners, scientists, students and anyone living in the shadow of an earthquake, this book raises the alarm so that we can protect our vulnerable cities before it's too late.Read more
- Draws comparisons between the capacity of first-world and developing-world countries to prepare for a major earthquake
- Combines science with history to present a detailed, informative, and timely study of the world's earthquake time bombs
- Explores how the combination of mass migration to megacities coupled with poor building standards is putting ever more people at risk
Reviews & endorsements
"This book highlights the appalling reality of the threat to the world's growing population that is exposed to earthquakes, especially those concentrated in vulnerable megacities. The recent calamities of the earthquakes in Haiti and Nepal are simply foretastes of what is to come, unless decisive action is taken. It is written by someone perhaps uniquely qualified to do so: an earthquake scientist whose long and personal engagement with many of the cities he writes about is accompanied by an extremely well informed, up-to-date and widely respected grasp of his subject. It is written in an easy semi-populist, non-technical style that will make it accessible to non-specialists, but with the completely convincing authority and balance that accompanies an author who is utterly confident and secure in his knowledge. It is an impressive achievement to distil decades of global scientific effort into a compelling narrative and call to action."
James Jackson, University of CambridgeSee more reviews
"An excellent and very timely book! Professor Yeats places the disaster potential of urban earthquakes within a varied context of history, local culture, public planning and politics, in a comparative manner. He presents a massive amount of information in a clear, concise, and readable style, which will be of interest to anyone working on mitigating the urban earthquake risk on a global scale. The book is also a must-read for policymakers, city administrators, risk managers, emergency planners, scientists and students."
Mustafa Erdik, Boğaziçi University, Istanbul
"In Earthquake Time Bombs, Yeats provides the proverbial wake-up call for earthquake-prone major cities around the world. History, politics, economics, and seismology are interwoven in order to demonstrate the unique challenges each city faces, as well as the lessons to be shared with the others. This book should be required reading for both public and private sector leaders in these cities, heads of international development agencies and multinational corporations, students and practitioners of earthquake science and engineering, and others who may implement existing solutions or develop innovative approaches for diffusing at least some of these bombs before it's too late."
Mark Benthien, Director of Communication, Education and Outreach, Southern California Earthquake Center, and Global Coordinator, Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills
"… [the] style of writing is very engaging and the reader feels privileged to accompany Yeats in these important reconnaissance trips and to share his thoughts and observations … fascinating and well worth reading …"

Lifestyle insurance manager jobs undertaking a visual picture of prestige, substantial salaries, and excellent work rewards. In reality the second degree insurance manager jobs, that of existence insurance managers, do not materialize into what numerous feel. Right here are factors to say no to turning out to be a single of the existence insurance managers of a sales crew.
Any lifestyle insurance company has one main motive in mind, and that is profit. When a new branch occupation office opens it areas in a Basic Life Manager with a assured a wage additionally manufacturing bonus This article will describe how other insurance manager jobs function in different ways, like that of the lifestyle insurance managers.
A new sales manager is led by a carrot into considering he is part of the company established money machine. HE IS NOT.
WHO IS ASKED TO Become A Existence INSURANCE MANAGER? The workplace basic manager requirements product sales progress, and possessing 2 revenue instruction managers are much better than one and 3 are far better than two. So here is the commence of the hunt to fill these insurance management jobs. If you have true revenue ability and are making revenue constantly, the common existence manager is currently scouting you out. This is specifically true when he begins to give you the business contact in leads for some really straightforward revenue. (an preliminary sublime bribe) Right after 2 years encounter, you are wined and dined by the common manager, and asked if you would like to make a huge career leap to a insurance management task. You could be the subsequent life insurance sales manager.
As an insurance manager, you will have a base salary, plus further sales production revenue tacked on. In addition, you will no lengthier have to go out and private scrounge up new business. This indicates personally no longer creating cold calls! Health advantages are frequently provided. Then the huge career ego blockbuster is laid out. The company will be expanding, and the new office common life managers picked will be from the present lifestyle managers operating for the company.. That is an provide handful of insurance representatives could resist.
WHAT A Potential Existence INSURANCE MANAGER IS NOT Told. The revenue business house workplace will advantage off every agent you hire, particularly these that are productive then leave. When your agent leaves, your manufacturing bonus stops completely. The product sales business will take over all money yet to be collected on the sales your leaving agent produced. The common manager upon your first couple agent loses comes up with a "new plan just for you". He hands in excess of a couple of mediocre in home agents, (those who no extended have a revenue manager) and puts them on your sales group. In addition he is going to spending budget funds for the next couple months in the neighborhood Sunday newspapers to haul in adequate new interviews to develop your workers even faster. Some weeks you will find your insurance manager work bombarded with interviewing a dozen potential new representatives…
YOUR DUTIES AS THE SLICK NEW Product sales MANAGER. As an alternative of a cubicle you get your very own private workplace with a good desk and chair. Your principal duty is to recruit enough reps to often have at least a dozen. Advertisements portraying an insurance expert revenue individual with freedom in hours and unlimited revenue capacity always draw in lots of interested employed and unemployed folks, some single, some with a loved ones. Subsequent as the leader you must license prepare them if required, additionally get them to memorize the house workplace revenue script. The hard component is budgeting your time. Your do not want to work 13 hour days, but recruiting and in office pre-training eats away tons of time.
Your insurance reps require their life insurance manager to invest sufficient time to train them outdoors the office. This implies operating with an agent on 3 straight appointments, and selling by illustration. You obtain no instant compensation on the product sales, but it will count towards your month-to-month bonus. You have the inside pressure of getting the very best product sales manager in your office to ever move upward. SO YOU CHEAT. Often you will consider the all important closing stage away from your struggling representative, and near the sale. It chocks your salesperson a sale, and a notch upward for you.
Nonetheless the promotion to get your own company revenue office never materializes.
HOW YOU Recognize Becoming A Revenue MANAGER Costs YOU. After 6 months of getting a sales manager you quit blaming yourself when a sales particular person decides to head elsewhere. You then start up new insurance reps and help them get product sales. Nonetheless your office basic lifestyle manager is now rarely handing any prospects your way. As a end result you put stress on new agents to method any family members or buddies to give presentations to. Your month-to-month earnings does not shoot up, despite all the product sales you are closing. The base salary stays the exact same and since of 70% or larger 1st 12 months agent turnover, your bonuses continue to be pretty level. The insurance management jobs prestige is swiftly fading.
BACK TO SALESPERSON. When you tell the workplace general life manager that you want to sacrifice your product sales crew and go back to promoting on your personal you are surprised. His face is unemotional. Unknown to you, he has previously picked out your replacement and will entice his newest manager. The new lifestyle insurance manager will have some of your product sales crew to him to get launched.
The best portion for you is that by going out on so several sales presentations, you enhanced from being a good closer to becoming leading notch at closing sales. Consequently right away your commission income exceeds that of your salary revenue when you have been a manager. In actuality all the upper encounter did, was make you see that can not cookie lower out insurance reps. Instead depending on your revenue abilities usually functions greatest. Later on you wil discover that 2nd degree insurance manager jobs hardly ever pan out. As an alternative when you go independent, your manager task is managing yourself, a gratifying opportunity.

"Lose 30lbs in 4 weeks by eliminating ____ from your diet "
"Not eating after ____ is the secret to weight loss"
"Eating ____ is the reason you can't lose weight"
"Eat ____ and melt body fat"
"Transform your body in just 10 days with the _____ diet"
Claims like these are commonly made by those promoting fad diets. They sound promising and as a result millions of individuals attempt to lose weight with these types of plans annually.
When an individual starts a fad diet, they generally notice fast weight loss. This is because these diets create a caloric deficit by a number of approaches:
Providing extremely low-calorie meal plans (<1000kcals/day in many cases).
Limiting the number of foods an individual can eat.
Removing entire food groups.
Significantly restricting macronutrients (usually carbohydrates or fat).
Limiting the amount of time a person can eat each day (e.g. not after ___, only for ___ hrs daily, and/or fasting for entire days).
Some plans may also include recommendations to significantly increase physical activity to excessive levels.
It is no surprise that when an individual who is sedentary and eating the average Western diet starts following some of these extreme measures they lose weight rapidly due to the large caloric deficit. However, rarely do these plans result in long-term sustained weight loss. In fact, individuals who repeatedly go "on" and "off" these type of diets often end up heavier as a result.
If these diets result in such fast initial weight loss, why don't they lead to sustained weight loss long-term?

Neck Massage: Alleviate Cramps Sooner
My doctor has told me that my migraines are caused by the pulling on muscles as I hunch over my computer. I first tried neck massage skeptically, but found it such a relaxing way to relieve my aches and pains. As I didn't have a doctor recommendation, I just went to my local massage spa and had a consultation. I clicked with someone, and she became my massage therapist.
Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue. This is done to enhance function and promote relaxation and well-being. If you are looking to modern medicine to cure your issues, maybe you are looking in the wrong place. The art of massage dates way back, back to over 3000 years. It has been documented by the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians. They all applied forms of massage for many ailments. Hippocrates even wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Neck massage is not an ancient cure, but a modern cure based on ancient methods.
My first neck massage was performed by a massage technician who had her own equipment. She had me sit facing the back of a chair, and had my neck exposed. My shoulders were alternately massaged back and forth for about a minute. After that my neck muscles were squeezed as I relaxed my muscles. I was instructed to move my shoulders up and down, then to relax. This, too was done alternately. My neck was rubbed from the base up to my skull. My first massage took about 10 minutes as it was just a neck massage. If you are having a neck massage as part of a general massage the whole experience will take longer.
Are you interested yet? Next step is how do you find a massage therapist? First you have to research what sort of qualifications you are seeking in a therapist. Your doctor may refer you to one he/she works with. There are so many types of massage, and it is done in a variety of ways with a variety of ancient remedies. Go and consult your local massage therapist. He or she will explain the benefits of a neck massage. Who knows, you may find more than one massage to suit your needs.
Neck massage is my personal favorite. Most massages, require the recipient to be on a table, chair, or a mat, and generally unclothed, but may be modestly covered with towels or sheets. If the person is uncomfortable with this, she/he may wear underwear. For a neck massage, you will remain clothed, but should wear a low neck. Are you convinced, if so, ask your doctor, or just go on over to your local spa or salon, and discuss your particular issues, and I'm sure you'll find the appropriate therapist to suit your neck massage needs.

We asked 11 women the following question in anticipation of International Women's Day (today!!), a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
Q: If you could steer the conversation around International Women's Day, what would that dialogue be about?
These are their badass answers.
Oh man, so many important things! I think there are many conversations worth having. But, I think one of the biggest issues that women still face is breaking gender stereotypes that have been laid out for them for generations and generations, so for me I love to celebrate women who really broke the mold whether it be Eleanor Roosevelt, Malala, Beyoncé, or Kamala Harris. Women are doing AMAZING things and I think that there are so many worth highlighting to inspire women everywhere by examining the choices trailblazers made along their way.
As women, we need to focus more on building each other up rather than tearing each other down. We need to lead the way to change and we are not going to make progress unless we focus on bringing other women with us so we can rise together.
I'd encourage more women to be intersectional in their activism. It's important to acknowledge our privilege and remember that there are all types of women from a variety of walks of life that face challenges that we do not. If you're truly committed to advocating for women you have to be willing to stand up for all women regardless of race, sexuality, physical ability, religion, class or gender identity, not just ladies that look like you.
Equality. I find it unbelievable that a woman doing the same job as a man is not making the same amount of money. That's mind boggling to me.
I want us to focus on anything around mentoring and empowering young girls-- from body image to cultural pride to self-esteem and self-worth.
That all women are beautiful, smart, strong as fuck and special. We also have to listen to each other and remember to be inclusive. There's feminism and intersectional feminism.
I think the progress we've made in recent years is fantastic, but we still a lot of work to do. As women we should do all we can to support each other and continue to move in the right direction. We are always stronger together.
I would hope that the conversation is well rounded and that it would make every woman feel celebrated. Whether you are a politician, CEO or a mother. There is no specific definition to what a strong, empowered woman looks like because that varies for each person. To define that, ultimately creates exclusion because we are all different. In this beautiful chapter where feminism and girl bosses are highlighted (yay!) I really want stay at home mothers to feel celebrated and reminded that they too are hard-working HEROS.
The world is sitting on a huge untapped natural resource: billions of women who have not been able to reach their full potential. I'd love to create a vision statement and paint a picture of what the world would look like — what greatness we could unleash by bringing Women's Equality and Empowerment to the forefront. And show that there's a huge business case for doing this.
I hope the dialogue continues around gender equality and recognizing the need for a larger political, cultural and social shift when it comes to pro-women policies on a global level. When women and girls are empowered, educated, healthy and free of violence, they can recognize their full potential and make an enormous impact on their communities and ultimately the world economy.
I hope to see more women supporting other women. I have always believed that when women work together we can do anything. So often we are pitted against each other instead of remembering we are a big tribe.
What do you hope for today? Share below!

We lost an irreplaceable graphic artist a few weeks ago. And I mean irreplaceable literally.
His customer didn't replace the position, which means...Well, we don't know what it means because we don't know how this group is going to pick up the lost artists' slack.
It got me thinking a bit about handling costs in these tough times while also improving the aspects of business, like customer service or creating new websites. It didn't take for long until downsizing came up.
Unlike layoffs, downsizing doesn't stem from an overt business need. The company may decide to restructure, hopefully raising the stock price or the dividends. (In our case, the customer probably placed the money straight into research.) But downsizing does not seem to be tied to any short-term business cycle.
Layoffs, on the other hand, are tied to downturns in the economy, which means they can be viewed as temporary. (Unless, of course, the layoffs stem from a downturn in an industry.)
In a strict sense, layoffs mostly target manufacturing and other blue collar industries. Downsizing, on the other hand, goes after the white collar worker. Thus, the short-term impact of downsizing can be positive. Stocks could go up. Profits per employee may rise. The research department could see a budget blip.
The reasons companies give for downsizing can be very different than layoffs, which seek to right a sinking ship. Companies need to control employee costs is a common refrain. But they'd also like to streamline (pdf) -- decision making, communication, product development, etc. The good years brought too much chaff, and the company would like to cut some of it without damaging the wheat.
This is much harder to do than expected. Countless studies have investigated the consequences of downsizing and found myriad problems. Skills are lost; so is corporate memory. Learning can be stunted or research and development (two things that make a firm productive). I am complaining about one position -- although it's happened several times during the past year. But the airlines are case against going overboard downsizing. This means cutting back flights (that you've already booked) or saving money by hiring fewer ground staff, increasing the problems with lines and lost luggage.
Airlines are not the only problems. A June 2000 study (pdf) by Peter Cappelli found that most companies who downsize learn to regret it in the future.
In terms of the effects of downsizing on establishment performance, the analyses here are distinct from prior studies in their focus on establishments and particularly in their ability to distinguish establishments that were in trouble before their job cuts. The results are broadly consistent with the common-sense view that job cuts make more sense when establishments experience excess capacity than when they do not. Even in such situations, however, the benefits of improvements in sales per employee must overcome increases in labor costs per employee. Downsizing, defined as job cuts when operating at or above capacity, appears to hurt sales per employee. In the context of this model, it is clearer why downsizing may hurt performance, because it is difficult to cut without doing damage to organizational capabilities when there is no slack to cut. In most cases, labor costs per employee move in the opposite direction from changes in sales per employee: When job cuts make sales per employee rise, so do labor costs per employee, and when the former fall, so do the latter. This relationship may mitigate some of the gains from cutting employees as well as the losses and lead to an overall moderating effect in relations with performance outcomes.

Dogs in cars, yes, but really there are dogs in shelters. Brookhaven Animal Shelter to be exact. Thankfully I can tell you that since Nathaniel and I went to start our photographic series at the shelter, two of the three dogs we have pictured here have been adopted. That's a good thing. The sad thing is that there are about 115 more in the shelter that still need homes. We at Mrs. Sizzle hope to raise awareness about the hard to ignore multitude of pets that do need homes and are housed in shelters across America.
This week on Friday evening at 6pm sharp, Mrs. Sizzle will be staging a drive by viewing of some of the majestic creatures that could be your animal. Bellport Village has embraced the concept by hosting a party during the parade at four of the venues on the main street in the village. Thank you to Auto Body, Gallery 125, Pamela Lerner Antiques and TOLA for making this possible! All stores will be open from 6 - 8pm with raffle and silent auction items relating to the event. Come pawty with us.
