Monday: 30 minutes rowing, 1 hour elliptical, weights & core work
Tuesday: My most interesting track workout ever:
2.5 mile warm up
2400 meters (6 laps): sectioned off to 3:45, 3:30, 3:35
600 meter recovery
2400 meters (6 laps); divided into: 3:30:3:45, 3:30 (which turned into 3:18!!)
400 meter recovery
2 x 800 meters: 3:32, 3:29 (which turned into 3:27!)
2.5 mile cooldown
9.75 miles
This was such an interesting workout because the intervals were long (1.5 miles), and you had to change your pace throughout the workout. Definitely a tough one, but very useful too.
Wednesday: 30 minutes rowing, 30 minutes elliptical, weights & core work
Thursday: Easy 6 miles
Friday: 30 minutes rowing (5200 meters rowing), weights & core work, 1 hour elliptical
Saturday: 2 mile warm-up: 8 mile tempo starting at 8:05 and getting faster and faster; 2.25 mile cooldown.
12.25 miles
Sunday: will run 16 miles
Total: 44 miles
Today's tempo was one of the shining moments of the weeks. I ended up averaging 7:22 pace even with hills - that is just about my goal half marathon pace for the National Half next week! I was pretty excited, and I know that that pace will feel easier/more exciting next week. I just got new shoes (same model - Asics 1160), but new colors: Boston colors! Aren't they beautiful?
This was after my run. I was pretty excited - I used to really stink at tempos, but in the past 2 months, I have gotten a lot better at them. I think they are harder than track workouts, but are so helpful. It was hard to push in the final miles, but I know that digging in and picking it up was the right way to go.
These shoes were just made to run well in Boston.

Drone Videography is All You Need to Get the Shot
There are so many innovations that the drone and aerial cinematography industry have pioneered. When it comes to drone videography and aerial capabilities, the skilled and experienced team at Wild Rabbit Aerial is one of the best drone videography companies that will get you the shot. Our creative team has experience working on a range of projects and will make your vision come to life. Use Wild Rabbit, one of the best drone videography companies and create work you will be proud of.
See How the Drone Videography Gets You the Best Shot
With technology advancing at its current high rates, innovations are becoming increasingly exciting. No matter what you hope to capture or what you're shooting, drone videography allows you to capture scenes in a whole new way. You can capture sights never seen before, and points of view that are wholly original. Some of the most enthralling shots that exist in film are produced through drone videography.
Drone Videography Will Take Your Shoot to the Next Level
There are a lot of other trends for videography this year. Mobile is experiencing continued growth to overtake traditional traffic. Videos for mobile consumption as well as mobile ads are the quickest growing digital advertising segment over the next five years. What that means to mobile advertisers is that content needs to be tailored to the mobile audience. This content should be short—these days, viewer attention span for ads is quite slim. Mobile ads need to capture the attention of the audience from the beginning. These videos need to work across all devices as well.
Live videos have become popular. With a personal camera in everyone's pockets, content can be created at a moments notice. Live functionality is included in major social networks and streaming services including Facebook, Youtube and Twitter. Whether these videos include scripted content or provide coverage of live events, viewers like to feel as though they're getting the most updated info and like they're watching something special, that will never be seen again. Of course, live content can still be repackaged and used as branded content later.
Similarly, non-permanent content has gained great prevalence. With platforms like Snapchat, ad revenue is skyrocketing, so in order to take advantage of those views, you have to create content to engage targeted consumers.
As more and more individuals are "cutting the cord" on cable TV, other streaming services are becoming king, like Youtube, that's proving to be a major rival to paid subscription services. Youtube has greater reach during prime-time hours than any TV network does. Online videos are being watched more by teens and millennials.
Virtual reality is the new reality. With 360 degree technology, viewers experience a fully immersive adventure where the audience controls the content. This results in the audience being more engaged with your brand.

Though both the terms legal transcription and legal scoping are closely related there has been much lesser use of the term scoping whereas the term transcription has almost become popular. Just for the sake of the naive let me start with first differentiating transcription from translation because the term scoping also relates to translation. (here we translate short hand language into text). To clarify,
- Translation is conversion of one language text / audio into another language. ( Ex : Translating from French to Japanese)
- Legal translation is the translation of texts within the field of law.
- Transcription is converting audio file / recording into text documents (or a transcript)
- Legal transcription involves transcription of legal documents.
- Legal scoping is converting of court reporting documents into transcripts that could mean either,
a) Translation of stenotype (short hand machine) notes into text or transcripts.
b) Converting audio/video court recordings into transcripts using computerized text editors (this one is almost like transcription but differs from legal transcription mainly because the term legal transcription involves transcription of legal documents that have originated both from inside and outside the court.)
c) Real time transcription, using CAT (Computer Aided Transcription) instantly produces unedited text on all the computer screens in court in real time which is later edited by scopists and then proofread before final conversion into legally authorized transcripts. (This service can be made available both onsite and remote)
Busy court reporters always prefer to get their court reports scoped using professional scopists or avail services from online scoping outsourcing providers who arrange to get the work done on a regular and consistent basis at attractive rates. This service is available with minimal TAT (turnaround time) and over 99% accuracy.
Managed Outsource Solutions is a US based legal process outsourcing leader offering services in legal scoping, legal transcription, legal documentation, legal research, litigation support, legal web design, legal animation and the like to clients and legal communities in the US, Canada the UK and Australia.

2017 Annual Report
As I reflect on 2017, I look at it as a year of big change. I also see a year of balance, which may seem counterintuitive if you've been following along. Why balance? When I look back at many of 2017's BIG THINGS™ I see a balance between forging ahead and sticking to what works.
What's New
We made some big changes to our leadership team. We built a partnership with Youth Opportunities Unlimited that was both fresh in its social financing approach and in terms of what it produced (a new brand: Mushed). I started writing more, from how geeks can win pitches to our brand journey to my experience with a community accelerator to my realization that I was a visionary.
Tried and True
I'll begin with when we re-re-branded (de-branded?) as the rTraction our community has known and loved for 17 years this year. We continued to engage in community here in London and more broadly in the B Corp world. We also continued to celebrate Star Wars and the arts. Ultimately, we spent the whole year bridging worlds.
The Year in Review
I am proud to be at the helm of this ship, alongside rTraction's team of superheroes, who are committed to supporting this community and each other. This annual report is a reminder of how many ways our work touches the community, from the 46 clients in 2017 who are committed to social impact to the $89,211 we contributed to community through in-kind support and cash, to the $336,000 we spend with local vendors (over 20% of expenses). Our work in 2017 set the tone for an excellent 2018, once again dedicated to making a mark through social enterprise values and a design thinking approach.

Kings Hill Number 1 Place Making Exemplar
Kings Hill has been named as the country's most successful new village in a report by one of the world's leading property agents.
In its in-depth survey on placemaking CB Richard Ellis evaluated non-urban new villages of 1,000 homes or more, interviewing local residents, small business owners, those employed in or around the site, estate agents, estate managers and developers. They were asked to comment on a variety of issues, including design, provision of public and private amenity space, transport links, car parking and community provision.
Kings Hill achieved the highest overall score, beating Prince Charles' Poundbury development in Dorset, which came third in the survey.
Kings Hill, which is set in 800 acres near West Malling, was a former airfield and is now home to around 6,000 residents and more than 100 businesses employing some 5,000 people.
There is an 18 hole golf course, cricket pitch, David Lloyd leisure centre, further recreation and sports amenities, schools and a village centre with shops, restaurants and cafes as well as a surgery, vets and opticians.
It is being developed by Liberty Property Trust UK Ltd who the report praised for reacting to the requirements of local and potential residents by matching the product accurately to their needs, thus creating a clear sense of community pride. It added that the Kings Hill Parish Council played an active role in maintaining the sense of involvement from the community.
On the provision of public and private amenities, the report says: 'Kings Hill has been more successful in providing public amenity space, with playgrounds, a golf course, cricket pitch, access to a vast woodland area etc. In addition, it also provided appropriate private amenity space.
'There are homes with small gardens that require little maintenance as these are particularly popular with the older and younger buyers. However, there are also family homes with substantial gardens to match. These are so rarely provided and they are sometimes exactly what growing families are looking for, particularly if it is part of the motivation behind moving out of the city.'
Over 15% of those living at Kings Hill work for a business on site and Trevor Nicholson, CB Richard Ellis' Head of Placemaking, said that people's live-work balance has never been so important, which is why most large schemes have a significant proportion of non-residential space. He added that the "exciting thing about this trend is that outside major conurbations we seem to be heading back to where we started a few hundred years ago – local."
"This is terrific endorsement for Kings Hill," said Andrew Blevins, Managing Director of Liberty Property Trust UK Ltd. "It is a vibrant and bustling community with a good range of amenities – in fact, many more than the majority of 'traditional' villages.
"We are continuing to add to the development, with more leisure and recreational amenities, more business space and additional houses planned."

Marryn and Arlind are getting married three times. Once in Toronto, once in Italy, and another time in Albania. I'm so thankful I got to document their Toronto chapter because it was so full of happiness and vintage wallpaper! Their ceremony took place at a relative's very old home in downtown Toronto. This place had character. A lot of character. Every room contained items and artifacts from different time periods, art lined the walls like a gallery, and the people who live here are some of the most interesting and kindest people I've met. Thank you Arlind + Marryn for letting me document your truly unique and beautiful day!

Dear Joe Donnelly, Please keep the following video in mind.
and that goes for any other Dems voting for the Obamacare bill.
Received from the Jackie Walorski campaign:
(Mishawaka, IN) – Following weeks of concerned calls from across the district, 2nd Congressional District candidate Jackie Walorski met Friday night with area doctors and other medical professionals to discuss the President's health care proposal. The forum was organized by Walorski and several local physicians as an opportunity for those most directly involved in patient care to better understand the proposal, discuss its merits, and make recommendations for moving forward.
Several attendees voiced frustration with the general lack of communication between policy makers and doctors throughout the current debate. "There are many problems with the current health care system," said Dr. Jay Asdell of South Bend. "But this Congress' attempt to push drastic changes through without any real communication with doctors is extremely disconcerting. This may be the most historic change to public health policy and the local medical community has largely been left in the dark."
Walorski committed to maintain a dialogue with leaders in the medical community throughout the ongoing debate. "Reform is needed in how health care is delivered in our country. No one disputes that," said Walorski. "But it's clear doctors in the area don't feel they've been given a voice in the current discussion. The people of Northern Indiana are asking for common sense solutions from people within the health care community – not politicians in Washington."
"For Jackie to give doctors the opportunity to talk one-on-one regarding these sweeping changes is greatly appreciated. We think she is serious about listening to the people most involved in rendering direct patient care," said Dr. Robert Kolbe of Bremen.

The tanker "Gemmata" recently delivered the first export cargo from Cove Point to the Dragon LNG facility in the U.K. The vessel began its journey to Cove Point at Huelva LNG in Spain on January 28, 2018. Genscape Vesseltracker AIS data picked up this activity and the voyage, as the likely first export from Cove Point, which was immediately available to subscribers via Genscape's Live Voyage tracker. After a brief journey across the Atlantic, customers received a notice of the exact time that the ship began to load at Cove Point. From there, Genscape tracked this cargo to its final destination, Dragon LNG in the U.K., and the vessel's return trip to Cove Point to pick up a second cargo. The Gemmata is now once again at Cove Point berth after berthing earlier this month and waiting at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay until early in the day on April 12.
The cargo currently loaded on the Gemmata is the final commissioning cargo from the facility as Cove Point announced the commencement of commercial operations on April 10. The "LNG Sakura" and "Adam LNG" are currently inbound to load the first commercial exports from Cove Point.
Close to three months after its anticipated in-service date, Cove Point LNG has finally commenced service after delivering its first cargo of U.S. sourced gas abroad. Originally planned to begin service in January 2018, Cove Point received authorization to commence commercial operations on March 5 and make its in-service announcement on April 10.
As the second major liquefaction terminal to come online in North America, the commissioning of this facility is a milestone for Dominion Energy and the American gas industry at large. Volumes produced at Cove Point will contribute to the increasingly interconnected and distributed global natural gas market. Several more North American LNG facilities will be coming online in the next five years that will divert gas away from U.S. markets, allowing for an increasingly diverse portfolio of international clients.
Genscape's observations at both Cove Point and Cheniere Energy's Sabine Pass demonstrate that insight into LNG terminal activity is becoming critical to understanding overall gas market dynamics. First liquefaction during the commissioning process at Cove Point was observable through Genscape infrared observations before feed or fuel consumption appeared in the pipeline nominations. Timely alerting of vessel activity and operational changes at liquefaction facilities give Genscape subscribers a strong advantage in predicting fluctuations in the onshore supply and demand balance and the global LNG market.
Genscape uses cutting edge surveillance to observe activity at Cove Point and has reported on every major advancement up to its initial production and export. Satellite imagery and on-site imagery from our field team allow us to monitor construction progress and modifications to the facility. An offsite infrared camera allows us to interpret activity at the facility in near-real-time and contributes to our data-driven analysis of terminal activity. A second camera watches the terminal's berths and determines exactly when a vessel arrives and links to the LNG loading arms. We receive and interpret this information more quickly than it can be delivered to the public, if it is publicly available at all.
Genscape provides diligent, dynamic insights into the LNG supply chain through Genscape Vesseltracker's AIS data derived from their antennas which leverage a clear view into the entire LNG supply chain, bringing a "new world order" to global gas and power markets. In addition, Genscape's North American LNG Supply and Demand Service garners comprehensive industry intelligence through proprietary technology to monitor heat emissions, ships at berth, and power consumption at LNG liquefaction resulting in near-real time data feeds, and provides relevant market commentary.

White Sox Pitchers And Catchers Report To Spring Training!
Let's do this. #PitchersAndCatchers #SoxSpringTraining pic.twitter.com/Ep0mgilnDJ
— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) February 20, 2015
Yes, it's a political campaign. Yes, the issues are incredibly important. Yes, the election will have far-reaching implications for the future of the city and the 11th Ward.
All true.
But today the White Sox pitchers and catchers have reported to Glendale! The offseason is over! White Sox spring training has begun!
Chris Sale! Johnny Danks! José Quintana! Jeff Samardzija! Tyler Flowers!
Word is lots of position players have already reported too — Conor Gillaspe! Jose Abreu(!!), Mica Johnson!
The Sox pickups have been stupendous this offseason (Emilio Bonifacio, Adam LaRoche, Melky Cabrera, Samardzjia) both Garcias are back online, and David Robertson, replacement to no less than Mariano Rivera is closing it up.

Gathering Volunteers, Petitions And Momentum
The popular progressive challenger receives a sharp expansion of support, gathers volunteers
After kicking off her bid for 11th Ward Alderman one week ago, Maureen Sullivan's campaign is already reaching thousands of voters.
Gathering dozens of cheering supporters in front of the ailing Ramova Theater last Monday, Sullivan started things off by calling for a major change in the local political leadership, unveiling her campaign platform and promising to bring accountability to the Alderman's office.
The message is very well-received. Online engagements are off the charts for the campaign, says campaign Communications and Policy Director Rob Warmowski.
"We've reached nearly ten thousand people in only the first week," said Warmowski. "Social media, web and community channels are buzzing about her candidacy, and the conversation is in her favor. People in the 11th Ward are already excited about her thanks to her many years of community service, and people who are just learning about her are impressed by her record and platform. She's inspiring volunteers to stand up and ask to help."
Gathering Volunteers On The Eve Of Petition Circulation
Snagging over 600 likes on Facebook right out of the gate is great, but the campaign runs on real-world support — and that means showing up and helping out.
The campaign's volunteer force will be hitting the streets starting this week to gather signatures for Sullivan's position on the February 24th election ballot. Readers wishing to join up and help Sullivan get on the ballot can sign up at the campaign volunteer page.
How many volunteers does the Sullivan campaign have currently?
"Dozens and growing every day" says Warmowski. "But there's always room for more."

Maureen Sullivan Declares Candidacy For 11th Ward Alderman
Longtime community activist, author, and businesswoman Maureen F. Sullivan will today announce her candidacy for Alderman of Chicago's 11th Ward. The declaration will take place at 6PM, Monday August 18th in a special location: the front of the embattled Ramova Theater near the corner of 35th and Halsted.
The campaign theme is "Fight For A New 11th Ward".
Since 2005, Sullivan, a near-lifelong resident of the Bridgeport neighborhood, has been a firebrand standing up to challenge the political status quo in the very neighborhood that is the home of the Daley "machine".
"I have never been associated with the machine nor with politics as usual in Chicago," said Sullivan. "My father was a gas man for 48 years. Nobody in my family benefited from political clout or favors."
Sullivan, an activist, author and small businesswoman with an art degree, represents a new wave of Chicago progressive challenges to the policies enacted by the City Council that favor school closings, privatization, TIF abuse, and sneaking legislation past residents.
"We've seen it all. Their record speaks for itself. The neglect by the leadership of the past seventeen years has led to blight, to poverty, heightened crime and a tremendous waste of some of the city's best-located neighborhoods. We have had enough. It's time for a change." she said.
The announcement coincides with the launch of Sullivan's campaign website at http://sullivan11thward.com .
In 2005, Sullivan and her chief policy and communications consultant Rob Warmowski founded the nonprofit Save The Ramova, agitating the city owner of the theater to act to restore it, successfully preventing its demolition and winning $330,000 in funding to hold the line on damage to the structure.
"When I got the theater petitions around in 2005, back at the beginning, the overwhelming question from the people in this community was 'why don't the powers that be do something?', said Sullivan.
"Almost ten years later, with the same do-nothing Alderman in the chair, that question applies more than ever to the whole 11th Ward," she said. "Why don't they do something about the garbage and empty storefronts on Halsted? Why don't they do something to protect parents and kids from school closings? Why don't they stop pretending there's no money when there's always millions of tax dollars for sports stadiums, crooked charter schools and privatization?"
Sullivan's first elected position in 2010 was as President and founder of the Palmisano Park Advisory Council. Her most recent elected position was to School Council at McClellan Elementary on Wallace and 35th.
"If you want a job done, you had better be ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work. That's why I'm running."

Awwwww shit.
"Hey girly!"
I was hanging out at a cafe, writing and wearing headphones, when this guy walked in — a regular who's hit on me a few times in the last couple of weeks. He's nice enough but came on a little too strong the last time we spoke, and when he greeted me and then sat down beside me last Sunday morning, I was already feeling beyond exhausted from finals, a forty-hour work week, and a weekend music gig.
He's going to stay here and talk TO me for the next hour and A HALF if I don't nip this in the bud RIGHT NOW, I warned myself.
I know, but what can I do?!
Just… SAY something, I offered weakly.
Gee, THANKS, I grumbled inwardly.
So I smiled as I removed one of my earbuds. "Hey dude — look, I'd really love to chat with you, but my emotional and social reserves are right here," I explained, lowering my left hand towards the cafe's concrete floor and squinting over at him.
His eyebrows shot up. "Oh — well…"
And then he picked up his things, seated himself at a table nearby, finished his coffee and meal very quickly and left.
I got the pretty distinct impression that he had been offended by my lack of niceness, but you know what? Go me.
Four Days Later
"So what's the best part of your week been?"
I glanced over to my left. Audio (the boy who knows I like him but refuses to directly address the matter) had just pulled up alongside me (again) during a Thursday night bike ride. We were now rolling through an intersection together.
"The BEST part?" I repeated. "Wellllllllll…" I hesitated. "LOTS of nice things have happened this week!" I exclaimed finally, feeling frazzled.
"You can include the weekend," he added encouragingly.
"Hmmmmm…" I thought about it some more. "You know, I feel like something really great happened on Tuesday — I just can't recall what it was… but I DID stick up for myself on Sunday," I said, telling the tale and expressing how proud of myself I was.
"You know what?" he laughed. "It's funny you'd say that, because I stuck up for myself this week, too," and then he related a work incident that he'd handled bravely and professionally. I noticed him really holding my gaze while he spoke, and I wanted to grab him by the shoulders and shake him — like REALLY, dude?! What the heckin' HECK?
Instead, I smiled over at him and his stupidly gorgeous gray eyeballs.
Soon after, we were rolling into the alley behind Redemptive Cycles and everybody was stepping off of their bikes, grabbing a beer or a water bottle and then finding a group of people to hang out with. I leaned my bike up against the chain link fence and, when I turned around, Audio had reappeared.
"So like I was saying earlier…" he continued, looking and being adorable. I love-hated watching and listening to him.
"Let's go mingle," he suggested eventually, nodding towards the others.
"Alrighty," I sang out, leaving my bike to walk beside him, "but I don't usually do this — just walk up to people and start chit chatting…" but then I spotted a guy I knew there in the crowd and ran over to him.
"Heya!" I greeted him. "I've been tasked to mingle, which is terrifying, so I decided to come over here and hang out with you," I explained openly, hopping up onto the metal landing behind the back door.
"Ahhhhh — you know me, so I'm safe?" he laughed.
"YEP!" I grinned.
He leaned his back into the railing, crossing his feet and arms in front of him. "Who here isn't safe, Jace?"
His question surprised me. I looked around us. "I mean — nobody isn't safe… all of these people seem safe…"
"But if you had to pick, who seems unsafe? In other words, who would you NOT feel comfortable walking up to and starting a conversation with?"
My eyes and ears traveled the crowd again, taking in shapes and colors and faces and voices. I saw Audio's outline to my right and my heart lurched. He isn't safe at all, I admitted to myself, because I like him too much, and too openly.
"Again — I really don't find anyone here to be unsafe…" I hesitated. "I mean, maybe that girl over there." I nodded toward her, a curly-haired brunette. "She isn't DANGEROUS or anything, but I try to smile at her whenever I see her and she's always kinda bristly… I'm afraid that she doesn't like me."
"Ahhhh… that's Valerie," my friend said, nodding. "She's an introvert, like you."
I nodded understandingly.
"Let's go talk to her," he clapped, grinning.
"NO WAY, Jose!" I protested, but he had already grabbed my hand and tugged me down from the landing and, suddenly, we were approaching Valerie and her group of friends. I felt queasy.
"Hello, all!" my friend greeted the group. Five pairs of eyes immediately settled on the two of us. "Valerie," he continued, gesturing toward me, "this is Jace."
"Hi," I offered quietly, desperately hoping she didn't think I was hitting on her, because while I totally wasn't, I imagined that it might seem like I was (strolling over, uninvited, with a well-meaning wingman).
She nodded at me and then continued speaking to the group; they were discussing internet speeds and competitor pricing (AT&T versus Charter). I bounced on the balls of my feet while I listened along and smiled over at my friend every now and then — sincerely grateful for his interest in making me feel less like an outsider.
After ten minutes of hanging around, I decided I'd had my fill for the evening.
"I'm heading home," I told my friend. "I have to pee, and the back door's locked."
He laughed loudly. "Oh dear — well I'm sure we can find somewhere for you to go and use the restroom," he protested.
"Nah, that's okay — I'm also tired." I smiled, bid him goodnight, and began walking back toward my bike.
"Jace — are you leaving?"
He hopped down from the metal landing (he'd taken my spot when I'd left) and ran over to hug me goodbye. I hugged him back, noticing him holding me a little closer than he had the previous week, and then I let him go, suspecting that a hug from me would never mean as much to him as a hug from him meant to me. How sad!
And then I hoisted my bike up onto the rack on my car and drove home, feeling proud of myself for being somewhat okay with that.
"There is no future that we're supposed to have; there is the future that we create for ourselves every damn day." –somebody
Aka, Audio and I aren't destined to be together. Don't be silly, reader! I just think that I might like for us to be together… might, because I don't even know the guy! There's just this magical something about him — this essence…
I'm reading a fantastic book this week: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck. Here are some of the best things I've learned so far:
- Be selective about the fucks you give. For example, caring deeply when the cashier is unfriendly, the guy in traffic's being a dick, and your German Shepherd has eaten another pair of your fancy and expensive mountaineer socks could be indicative that you are lacking real meaning in your life. In other words, if you're choosing to expend your energy and burn your emotions on trivial, petty shit (trivial and petty in the grand scheme of things), you must have nothing better to focus your attention on. And if that's true, you might wanna take a closer look at your lifestyle, dreams, and values…
- Stop trying to avoid suffering. We're wired to do this: pursue pleasure and avoid pain — ignore all of the stuff that hurts and breaks out hearts and chase after pleasure highs instead (food, alcohol, cinema, parties, etc.). But the truth is that suffering is an essential part of this life process — and that while suffering isn't pleasant, it's actually good for us, because it's instrumental in helping us grow! The slightly good news: You can often choose what you're going to suffer for (and thereby choose to make it something worthwhile; for example: Instead of fretting over the fact that a coworker or could-be friend doesn't like you and suffering from that sense of rejection, you could choose to nicely not give a fuck about that and – instead – suffer through tedious hours of practicing Spanish verb conjugations so that you can connect with a whole other group of people). I'd like to share this, too: The best moments of my life so far haven't been those big ole highlights: graduating with a 2-year degree, performing on stage in front of 800 people, or getting married. My best and most defining moments were the ones that happened long before or after these "big" milestone events: spending four years' worth of evenings and weekends attending classes and studying to get that puny degree; dedicating my free time, as a teenager, to earning callouses on my left hand as I learned the notes and scales and proper chord structure for the guitar; and collecting slash reassembling all of my broken pieces after an earth-shattering divorce and realizing – when I was neck-deep in that excruciatingly painful process – that I was WAY more resilient and brave and powerful than I'd EVER given myself credit for.
- Quit trying to be right all of the time. I know people like this; they do or say something that is plainly wrong but absolutely refuse to admit it. Annoying, right? But here's the thing: WE ALL DO THAT! We ARE those annoying people! At least sometimes… and if your focus is always on being slash appearing to be right, you're precluding the chance of learning something new about yourself and the world (plus, if you're an "always righter", you prob won't come off as being very real or likable to others).A few tips:1. When you discover that you ARE wrong about something, realize that you go from being wrong about it to LESS wrong about it — not necessarily right. We're all on an infinite journey of approaching truth and rightness, but I (personally) don't believe that any of us ever actually make it all the way there.
2. Don't be afraid to be real with yourself. If you're avoiding a person, confront yourself about it. Why am I avoiding them? Do they make me nervous? Make me feel bad about myself? Make me feel inferior? If so, why? And if so, why? If you're avoiding a career or lifestyle change that's always on your mind, why are you hanging back? Does the idea of taking action make you feel scared? Are you afraid to find out whether or not you can actually do the thing and would prefer to simply sit back and imagine that you could if you really tried?
- People may be to blame for your unhappiness, but they are NOT responsible. This one hit hard, because I've been through some shit, and I have (at least in part) blamed others for my deep, dark sadness… but you know what? All of us have been through shit AND put others through shit. People break our hearts and murder our pets and go and die on us, and in ways, we do the same mean shit to them. But here's the thing: Though we like to believe that our suffering is special and that we are poor victimized targets of the world, we are not. And we are not helpless.The truth is, neither our talents nor our suffering are unique or special… our sadness isn't something to be worn like a crown. So shake it off, and let it go — and if you aren't sure how to do that, figure out how. One part of that "how" is asking yourself real questions and then being completely honest when you answer yourself.If someone has injured you in some way, shame on them, but don't expect them to make it better. You are ultimately responsible for your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health, so figure out how to heal and take care of yourself. Placing the blame and burden on somebody else and waiting for them to come through on making amends is just foolish… and why hand off your control over something so vital — inner peace?
- Reconsider your goals and values. In a nutshell, good goals are process-oriented, and good values are non-comparative… BAD goals and BAD values are just the opposite.Like:Instead of "lose twenty pounds", try "treat my body well" — the latter is more of an ongoing and comprehensive/balanced kinda goal (that includes LOTS of things other than weight, like getting ample sleep + sunshine, eating a varied diet, and exercising).
Instead of "make every person I meet like me" or "make people like me more than they like xyz person" (which is impossible and is NOT something you can directly control), adopt values like "express myself honestly" or "improve my social life" (by relating with others authentically and unswervingly practicing friendliness and compassion, even in the face of evil-troll-bitch-from-hell characters).
The next chapter in the book (which I've yet to read) is titled "The Importance of Saying No". I'm especially looking forward to it, because saying no to cafe dude on Sunday was a monumental but terrifying step for me — a person who loves to make people feel happy and good about themselves at almost any expense to herself.
How about you?
- Are you able to nicely say no when necessary to protect your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being?
- Are you fully conscious of how you're spending your life energy, and are you happy with where it's being channeled?
- Are you deliberate about doling out your fucks or are they just spilling out everywhere?
- Are you setting sustainable and good goals for yourself as well as measuring yourself and your personal success with metrics that are solid, honest, and worthy? Suggestion: Craft and adhere to your OWN values, because most of society's generic ones (IE be the most attractive person; be the most wealthy person; be the most popular person) are fucking stupid.
After careful thought, my three big goals in life are to:
- Empower + lessen the suffering of others (animals + humans, in that order)
- Create art that is honest and meaningful (stories and songs)
- Appreciate and savor beautiful experiences — like sipping on lattes, petting German Shepherds, going on adventures, and walking hand-in-hand with another human being. Could be Audio, but probably not. I wish Aziz Ansari was single and not quite so famous…
Still here,
Aun Aqui

After Florence it was a bit quiet on the work front - spasmodic probably a better word. A couple of short stints in the country with some rather fun rare sheep breeds up in the Cotswolds. The two small mobs of Portlands and Castlemilk Moorit were more like our South Island wild Thar or at least a cross between a sheep and a wild goat. And behaved just like them, pretty unpredictable and wild but a great looking sheep that is well worth keeping around.
So from there we hunkered down in a fabulous type of BnB in London. Lovely big warm room, delightful hosts and everything so jolly convenient Parked the car up, put our winter wollies on and saw some glorious pre christmas sights.
Much as I love Christmas in NZ there surely is something rather special about Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere. October seems to be kick off point and somehow they mange to stretch it out with more and more happening right up till the 25th!! Everything seems to be so much more visual, the street decorations in particulary. But thats probably because we all get to admire them so much more as its dark by 4.30 in the afternoon. Mind you with a Christmas tree in London selling for $50 you want to get your moneys worth!!! But also Markets and the food that everyone goes to such lengths to serve are pretty jolly amazing!!!!
Down in Wiltshire we took a day out and visited the magnifcent Stourhead. Both the world reknown English landscape gardens which I gather are the second most visited attraction in the UK but also the Palladian mansion was open.
It's one of those stunning gardens that every corner you turn gives another glorious vista across the valley to a variety of follies, temples, bridges, even a grotto and Gothic ruins. All these are framed by some glorious mature trees around the lake and hillside. The garden was opened in the 1750's and once described as 'living work of art', as it had been carefuly constructed with a variety of views that resembled scenes from landscape paintings. And even despite it being December, the dead of winter with next to no leaves on any trees, it still held a wonderful fascination and probably an even better opportunity to admire the layout and the views. Although if I'd had the choice Spring or Autumn would be the ideal time to admire the place.
We wanderd through with Annie, Christopher, Nichola and dogs then dinned at a busy warm pub on the edge of the estate. Lovely big fire roaring and lots of good homemade comfort food to warm you from the inside out. A pity we didn't have a good six mile walk afterwards as we felt prepared for it. The old house was just up the hill, fifteen minutes walk from the pub, and looked out out over the 1,000 hectare estate. Nowdays totally owned by the National Trust, it is a little more commerical than most we've visited but the volunteers we amazing with their eagerness to fill you in on the interesting stories of the place and the regency library and art collection were simply stunning.
So having had a rather special time at Lowlands Farm, which felt like we'd shared in a little bit of family Christmas, we headed east to the Old Vicarage in Hawkhurst Kent. A memorable spot as it was about five minutes from here, at Udium Farm, that I enjoyed my first nannying job (and last), and UK Christmas, thirty-three years ago, with a delightful family who have become life long friends.
We even managed to find Christchurch. I don't think I'd bother to take that detour again but couldn't not stop, check it out and have a coffee.
This would have to be one of our least demanding contracts - two old chooks that pretty much took care of themselves and even laid the odd egg for us. So a quiet Christmas with lots of Skype chats to all the family, some wonderful walks across the nearby countryside to the magnifecnet Bodim Castle. Visits to some charming towns close by like Hastings, Rye, Tenderden, Cranbrook and Tunbridge Wells. A wonderful spot to finish off the year, see in 2015 and make plans for some exciting months ahead.

Music is extremely important to my creative process.
Whether during my conceptual portion or while doing post-production work, there is not a moment when I'm not listening to some type of music
Each week I curate a different playlist of different songs I like, some times there's a theme, sometimes I just create.
Hope you enjoy.

10 years ago, we were on one of the most beautiful islands we've ever been to photographing Liz and Tim's 07-07-07 wedding in Nevis.
We tagged along as the guys played a round of golf at the Four Seasons, attended a never-to-forget rehearsal dinner at Sunshine's, photographed a beyond perfect wedding day at Nisbet Plantation, Nevis and trekked around the island the following day for a day after photos!
Thank you, Liz and Tim, for asking us to be part of your day and an extended part of your family! Happy 10 years and here's to many more!
We love photographing destination weddings, I mean, who wouldn't! But, in all seriousness destination weddings are a lot of fun, but a lot of work too. Typically, we arrive a day or two before the event to be on hand for the rehearsal, welcome and pre-wedding parties, document the entire wedding day, and then plan a day after photo shoot to use incorporate locations that we might not be able to squeeze in the day of.

It can be difficult sometimes to dress in the right office attire to gain respect against all of the men, especially in a male dominated industry, while retaining a little femininity and it`s very easy to lose your femininity when you`re in a business environment.
Using pearl jewelry you can do this. By wearing a subtle pair of pearls studs, a simple pearl bracelet or pearl necklace, you a adding a little class, elegance and femininity that power suit, whilst retaining your professionalism and suitability for the office. The trick is to keep it simple. A pearl itself is an elegant and feminine gem, so you don`t need to add any more detail.
Whether you are wearing a skirt or trousers, some pearl jewelry will help you to retain some of your own femininity. There are a range of pearl color choices these days so you don`t need to go for the traditional white color. Pearls can be found in gold and black, or with pink, peach or even peacock green (on black pearls) overtones, so there are colors which will suit perfectly any complexion and clothing color preferences.
Pearl Earrings
A simple pair of pearl stud earring is ideal for the office. They don`t get in the way, but add a little class and elegance to your outfit. They can also be teamed up with a casual outfit if you want to change your clothes and go straight out after work.
Pearl Necklace
A short pearl necklace is another ideal accessory for the office. Don`t go for strands which are too long as this can be a bit much for the office. A pearl necklace gives just enough class to be stylish but also maintains professionalism.
Just because you`re a high powered woman, doesn`t mean that you have to become masculine. Celebrate your femininity, throw on some pearls and go make it happen!

Being located along the main access road in and out of Damansara Damai, they operate 24 hours a day and all throughout the day, they have a steady flow of customers right from breakfast to the wee hours of the night. Besides this particular outlet in Damansara Damai, they also have another outlet in Bangsar.

|Outdoor Seating Areas Are Available Too
The outlet in Bangsar has been around since the 1970's and Mahbub is very famous for their Briyani Ayam Madu and Briyani Buhara. They also have a good array of dishes for lunch but this entry is focused on the other individual dishes and I would be specifically highlighting dishes which in my opinion is the best that they have to offer. Being located in a corner unit, they have the advantage of space and by evening, you would be able to see tables also arranged along the sides of the inner road. Typical of any other Indian Muslim restaurant, the service here is quite efficient and they would usually attend to you quite fast. The only setback here is that the cleanliness is just average.
|Ice Lemon Tea @ RM 1.80
Just like any other Indian Muslim restaurant, the tea here is quite good. It is decently sweetened and is slightly bold. I would rate their Ice Lemon Tea at 8/10 .Do note that generally the prices here are slightly higher than other Indian Muslim restaurants, yet, due to the consistency of food quality and portion sizes, customers are willing to pay the slight premium.
|Mutton Soup @ RM 6.00
|Closer Look At The Meat Cuts
I was in a all soup mood today and wanted to try both their Mutton and Chicken Soup. To start with, I went with their Mutton Soup. I have tried their Soup here before and it was a class of it's own. I decided to try it again today to see if the taste was consistent. Once again, the soup was mind blowing and I must confess that it was the best Mutton Soup that I have had. It was made in a spicy and rich soup that was filled with spices and it was cooked with chunks of mutton along with their marrow that definitely added to the taste. Definitely a must try for Mutton Soup lovers! I would rate their soup at 9.8/10 .
|Chicken Soup @ RM 6.00
|Chunks of Chicken
Their Chicken Soup was also good but not equally good. The broth was the same but when cooked with Chicken, it lacked the wow factor. Nevertheless, it was good and I would rate it at 8/10 .
Besides these dishes, their rice and curry offering during lunch is also worth a try but it is slightly on the pricey side. Perhaps during my next visit, I would try some of their other items like Mee Goreng and Rojak and post my comments on those. It is definitely worth visiting this place for their Mutton Soup!

Have You Heard?
Have you heard that chef Tyler Florence is designing the 2011 Kitchen of the Year for House Beautiful? I have no doubt it will be amazing! It will be open to the public July 18-22 at New York's Rockefeller Center. The dream kitchen will be 2,500 square feet and include a fully-functioning outdoor space. Sounds pretty fantastic to me!
I'm anxious to see if it resembles his own kitchen, which I posted about here.
He also has a new cookbook, which will be out on June 7th, Start Fresh. Perfect for those of you with little ones!
I'd say life is pretty good for Tyler Florence!

After all those gory anti-heroin-ads, it is easy to get confused and imagine that 'Bright lights, Big City' is going to be all about Michael J. Fox descending into hollow-eyed destitution in a gutter in New York. But cocaine isn't like that and neither is 'Bright Lights, Big City'.
Those who have taken cocaine say it gives a spurious sense of confidence. In the case ofJamie (Michael J. Fox) it offers an insidioust addictive way of avoiding the real catastrophies of his lite—his wife's inexplicable decision to leave him and the death of his mother from cancer. At the same time, he hopes that a snort or two will help him through his tedious tact-finding job in the Verification Department of a famous American magazine. In fact cocaine helps him to lose his job and fails to blot out the memory of the two women he loves.
It is a fascinating film, perhaps because of its unusual mixing of Mary Tyler Moore style comedy in the excellently drawn work scenes, and excruciating sadness in the scenes where Jamie remembers, little by little, his mother's painful death.
The casting of Michael J. Fox is decidedly odd, but ultimately works well. He looks far too young to have been married and far too healthy to be a junkie, but then many people do look too young to be married and it is often the respectable people who turn out to have problems. As Jamie tells himself early on in the film; 'You are the kind of guy who wakes up early and smells

Along the way he meets Candy's accident prone shower curtain salesman and they inadvertently become travelling companions through treacherous snow. hell. high waterand mutual incompatibility.

I A Prayer forthe Dying ( 15) (Mike Hodges. UK. 1987) Mickey Rourke. Alan Bates. Bob Hoskins. 108 mins.

Unfortunately. his passport to freedom involves a gangland assassination that is witnessed by Hoskins' unlikely priest . ..

Sadly the film's hopeful ending fails to convince and has you wondering all over again whether it could not have been just a little bit grittier as a movie, even if cocaine does not hook you on heroin overnight. Physically, it not emotionally, the worst that happens to Jamie is a nose-bleed, although the scene in which he raids his colleague's bathroom cupboard for 'downers' shows the spiralling nature of his drug dependency.
The acting from those around Fox, especially from Kieler Sutherland as Tad, the smooth-talking evil influence who accompanies him to all the worst New York nightclubs, is uniformly good and there are some beautiful comic cameos from John Houseman as the gentlemanly editor and Jason Bobards as the drunken hack looking back to his

Frances Sternhagen as Clara. Jamie's exacting boss, is also very convincing, spitting out instructions like: 'I want you to find out the population of France down to the last baby born atthe time we go to press.'
But it is Michael J. Fox who dominates the film by delivering an ironic first person narration throughout and making the most of clever dialogue from author Jay Mclnerney, who wrote the original novel.
With director James Bridges just about managing to steerthe film through its various changes in tone, 'Bright Lights, Big City', gets away with some bizarrely surreal touches, and the whole succeeds as an idiosyncratic personal history if not quite as an anti-drug sermon. (Stephanie Billen)

A Poem by Ruth Bell Graham on Motherhood
As Mother's Day approaches, we take a look at a poem written by Ruth Bell Graham on motherhood, as well as reflections from Franklin Graham on his mother.
"I'll never forget the first time my mother heard me preach. Standing at the podium and seeing her in the shadows, I realized just how much that moment represented an answer to her faithful prayers.
To follow in my father's footsteps, I had to go through my mother's knee prints.
Even in my rebellious years, I never doubted that Mama loved me unconditionally. I knew she prayed for me earnestly. She knew when to lecture me, when to punish me and when to hug me."
-Franklin Graham on his mother, Ruth
from Sitting by My Laughing Fire by Ruth Bell Graham

Thank you for this wonderful poem! Ruth Bell Graham is such an inspiration to all of us as mothers. God bless her memory!
Very beautiful poem.
Dear Franklin Graham,
You are always inspiring in your boldness, courage and most importantly honesty. May Jesus complete the work he started in you. Amen
Hearty cheers!
Oh how wonderful, supportive and strong your mother was. She so selflessly shared your father and family with us sinners so that we may be saved through Dr Graham's evangelism. Thank you for your mother and father and may God bless them both and your whole family for the sacrifices you have all made. It has saved so many. Peace be with you and God bless you all.
How very lovely of a poem.
Miss Ruth was wise beyond her years, a beautiful woman of God, faithful wife, and delightful mother.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much for making this poem available.
My mother went to be with Our Lord Jesus in heaven in 1986.
I am now 72 and still miss my mom. Wonderful mother, precious memories, loving and merciful God.
Mothers who know where their help and their childrens' help comes from, are the greatest gift a kid could ever have!
My mother told me something maybe twenty years ago…that when I would come home from my late-night carousing and collapse on my bed in a drunken state, she would tiptoe into my bedroom, fall on her knees by my bedside and cry out to God, "Lord, save my son!"
Mom has been gone now about two years, at ninety seven years of age. Her son (me) has been endeavoring to follow JESUS for over forty six years. I am sure there will be a glorious reunion in Heaven one sweet day!
Thank God for a praying mother!
Thank God for women like Ruth Graham who prayed and set an example for us to follow Jesus.
Thank you for sharing this encouraging poem. I too have 5 children and praise God they are all grown and serving Him.
I am truly celebrating this Mother's Day, so grateful for God's amazing grace to me.and my family.
I have followed Billy Graham's ministry since I was a young child and am so glad to be able to continue seeing and experiencing the richness of the family legacy today.
I've always wanted to visit the Library. Now more than ever. I plan a trip for later this year.
This is a beautiful tribute to Ruth. She was a wonderful wife and mother as well as spiritual leader. I've been reading Billy Graham's autobiography, "Just As I Am" and am deeply moved at the sacrifices Ruth made while Billy was away. I'm truly blessed to have had this insight on the family.
What a great lady. I have always been amazed at the deep faith of Ruth Bell Graham. I thank our Lord for Ruth and Billy Graham, and I pray for Franklin and BGEA daily. Charley Clark
Wish I could read poem. Print so small, and no way to enlarge.?
I love your Mom's poems, reading them on the back of your Decision Magazine as I receive it each month.
I love the poems from Ruth's attic, wonderful woman.
A beautiful poem! So true, and from a Christian wife and mother that did a wonderful job on both.
I pray that more families have a mother like her. Her love, devotion and patience is an example to all mothers.
We are so blessed by her legacy. I'm so thankful to the Lord for this family's example and genuine faithfulness.
Lovely Poem.
I love the Graham family.
God bless and keep you all.
Had I been as talented, I could have claimed these words for myself. How fortunate for us that Ruth Graham was able to express herself and leave us this legacy. I'm sure it touched other hearts, as it did mine. Thank you!
Our children never outgrow their need for a mother's prayer. As long as I have life on this earth, prayers for my long grown "five" will continue. Tonight I am adding Ruth Bell Graham's prayers from her heart for her "five" to my own. God Bless her family who remember with love and appreciation their mother's prayers that have shaped them into the remarkable people they have grown to be.
I feel like I've gotten to know Ruth Graham from her poem's… I always look forward to them… PTL!!!
I have followed Billy and Ruth Graham during all their ministry.
They have always inspired me to be a better Christian, a better
mother and a better wife. I have prayed for them a thousand
prayers. I still have all the Christmas cards and books Billy wrote.
I thank our Lord for them. I miss them.
being a "mother" is an awesome responsibility….May the Lord perfect me, His daughter, so I may lead my children to walk in God's perfect will. This is what I understand was Ruth Graham's prayer for her children. What a blessing she was and is!
I am a Discipleship Coach with BGEA! What a great ministry and I love working with the precious souls God has entrusted me with.
Your mother was a beautiful song that your father listened to endlessly. They were the greatest couple to me.
Such a wonderful mother and teacher for you Franklin and all your siblings! And for us mothers too.
God bless you and your wonderful family Franklin!!
I love this poem. Ruth Graham had a heart that belonged to the lord. It is quite evident in her poem.
Every time I go to the Cove one of the first things I do is
go to Ruth's Attic. Everything about her was so inspiring.,
even her wonderful sense of humor. After reading
Franklin's book "Rebel with a Cause" I have learned to try to
keep mine also.
An awesome and attentive woman of God that knows her family, and didn't mind sharing them with the world after the shaping instructions from God.
God bless you and your whole family. Your dad Billy Graham save me when I was 15 years old. I'm now going to be 60 in a couple weeks. No words can express the gratitude and thankfulness of my heart. You guys are my Guiding Light.
Ruth Bell Graham was a woman who loved the Lord & Billy Graham! She was a child of God, wife, mother, & grandmother….she was a blessing!
Nice poem.
I have followed Billy Graham for many years, and have read some of his books and articles. A few months ago, although I was raised in the first baptists church of Philadelphia Ms., I rededicated my life to Christ again watching one of his programs on TV.
I am a 75 year old male, living with Alzheimer's in a memory care facility and dealing with a wife who treats me like a 10 year old child. Thanks for your prayers over the coming months.
Thank you so much for continuing in your father's footsteps, and carrying the message of Jesus Christ.
Hello pastor, thanks for curling out mum Ruth's lovely poem. I'm from Nigeria. I have one lovely friend over here whose life was equally impacted positively by BGEA. We call each other BILLYCHILD. I was an ardent listener of the Hour of Decision radio broadcast in the 80s and 90s. Please keep the good work on, we are praying for the entire team over here.

I recently joined the blog advertising network Adhese/Enchanté and today the first add is appearing (look to the right). It will not make me rich, and if the quality of the adds is good it may even add something to my blog. To me it's mostly a hands-on experience with advertising on blogs.
When I heard about my first add I was happy to hear it was for Eurostar. I have worked for Eurostar for several years when I was at Agency.com and I really have good memories from this client. In fact it was my first big online advertising customer and we won several prizes together. The initiative that's advertised: placetobiz.eu is one of the last things I worked on for them, although the credit must go mostly to Xavier, my successor on the Eurostar account. It's a collaborative platform for business travelers, so advertising on business blogs is the right choice here.
As for traveling to London, Eurostar is indeed a great way to travel to the center of the British capital. The ideal combination price/quality is to go in "Standard" and return "Business Select". That way you have some flexibility when coming back, you can access the brilliant lounge (Starck design) and have a nice meal in all comfort while diving under the channel. However, it's a combination travel agencies never offer, so you have to book your self (online).
In case you need to be outside London or for connecting flights, BMI is the best alternative. Their service is said to be legendary, something I have not had the pleasure to enjoy yet. But that is about to change, on Saturday I'm starting my trip to MIX07 in Las Vegas with a BMI flight to London. More about MIX07 later this week.
