What amazing finds - love love love the patterns, blue birds and nylons and the soap is divine - clever you to find them all.ReplyDelete
Oh what fun! I adore all of those patterns. ^_^ReplyDelete
Dear goodness, what an utterly incredible array of new vintage items you found on your travels. It never ceases to amaze me just how much better luck you wonderful gals over in the UK have on that front. Why can't the vintage find fairy hop across the Atlantic and sprinkle some of those kinds of treasures (in one general areas) in this fellow Commonwealth country? Everything here is tops, but I - die hard romantic that I am - especially adore the love letter.ReplyDelete

Wow! What amazing finds!!! What pattern company are those two patterns from? They look fabulous!ReplyDelete
Great haul! Does the songbook have banjo/ukulele chords in too? If so that could definitely warrant it's own post! ;-)ReplyDelete

These are fabulous finds. I really like the knitting patterns, the jumpers are lovely. Finding Stitchcrafts is always a joy.ReplyDelete
Ooh you found so many precious goodies. Your style is amazing, ciao from Italy!ReplyDelete
Fabulous finds. I saw a truly ghastly article in a craft magazine recently that advocated cutting up old magazines, knitting patterns and sewing patterns for decoupage and papier mache. I'm still reeling from the shock and contending with the murderous rage it induced in me! Needless to say it's one I won't be buying again.ReplyDeleteReplies
You've got a great haul, there, Tups. I bet your mam will whip you up something fab from all those patterns!ReplyDelete
Wow! Such a great haul of wonderfulness - looks like you had 'bargain magnet' all over you that day.ReplyDelete
I have just discovered your charming blog and I've already sent links to both vintage and knitting devotees.ReplyDelete
But, I must tell you a story about French Knickers. My lovely Aunty Margaret was talking about her sister in law Olive, I was small at the time but always listening. 'Mr Winstanly must have been expected' she said 'Olive was wearing her 'easy feels'!'
Another overheard from Aunty Margaret was about another sister in law. 'If our Alice wants to wear French knickers she should learn to sit like a lady.'
How delicious, I was quite grown up before these snippets fell into place and how I laughed.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted. The holidays happened, and then all of those days off spent lazing around certainly did not leave time for typing – ha.
In fact, at a party the other night, my friend Felicia pointed out that she hadn't seen a blog post recently. To inspire (bribe) me to write something, she offered up the best gift a person can give another person (no not a flat screen TV) – a hug!
That hug did indeed motivate me to get back on the wagon and write about something. Hugs are often taken for granted, but they are something everyone can give and unless you are a bit of a germaphobe, chances are you like hugs. The sense of touch is often thought to ward off depression. If you're feeling blue, maybe try asking someone for a hug. And, if there's no one around to hug you, hug yourself. Or, maybe just watching this video about free hugs will help.
Thanks Felicia for inspiring the first part of this post. For the second part, I've been thinking a lot about another type of hug – waves! I think a wave is like a non-touching hug. That is super sappy, huh?
Anyway, I was thinking that each new year you "wave" good-bye to whatever happened in the past year, be it good or bad. It's so nice to wave and forget about sad or annoying things that happened. Yet, you can wave good-bye to the blessings and good experiences and at the same time hang on to the fond memories forever.
What sticks out most in my mind when I think about waving is the wave Dewey the library cat would give to his "mom" in the book Dewey.
I just finished reading this wonderful book. It's pretty popular around Iowa since it was written by an Iowan. But, the real reason I checked it out at the Des Moines Public Library is because my husband and I think the cat (Dewey) on the cover looks like our Mr. Pickles.
You've probably heard the story of this sweet cat who was an in-house resident of the Spencer Public Library for nearly two decades. I won't give you all the details, but the author Vicki Myron saved Dewey's life and for years he (as Vicki puts it) saved her and thousands of other people's lives when they were going through tough times.
One of the most notable things about Dewey's relationship with Vicki was that when she pulled up in her car to work in the mornings, he would be at the front door and would put his paw up and wave to her – every morning!
I love my cats – probably too much. As my brother puts it, "Wow, you need to have human children soon, because the cat pictures are just getting creepy." But, whether you have kids, cats, dogs or live completely alone, there are little things in our lives that keep us going. The Dewey book is full of examples and touching stories. I highly recommend it. And, I'm just starting into her new book, Dewey's Nine Lives.
As we continue into 2012, I think it's important to think about things like hugs and waves as examples of looking at the bright side of life when we're frustrated or bored or angry, etc. No one's life is perfect. But, I'm a big believer in cherishing the good and trying to overcome the bad.
Happy New Year! Hug or wave at someone everyday in 2012:)

Hi Everyone!
I am a newbie and am so glad I have found this wonderful site! For my first post I would love to share with you my latest DIY Home Improvement project I just completed. I needed more storage in my kitchen, a pantry most of all. I had a few old doors in my garage and they inspired me to build a pantry from scratch. I love how it turned out. If you want to see more you can check it out on my blog at http://www.lisascreativedesigns.com/lisascottageblog/2012/01/creating-a-new-pantry-from-recycled-doors/
Its nice to be here and "meet" everyone!

I have an old chippy 15 light back door to figure out what to use for – I don't know how it would work for a pantry – I just really like the door
Anonymous January 29, 2012 at 8:01 pm #82976
If I did it I would just staple the fabric to the back of the screen area starting on the side and pleat and staple it across the width then hot glue on some gimp or braid to cover the staples. No pix..it is just currently an idea floating in my mind! I would probably use 2-3 doors to cover some pantry type shelving on one wall. My kitchen currently has minimal storage space..cereal boxes on top of the fridge. I would like to see that change!I would love them to have the screendoor springs so I would get that old "Walton's/Godsey's Store" squeak and bang when they close. I can see that that would bug some people but I like that noise! I have thought of doing the same thing in my bathroom to get rid of ugly plain closet doors. I would have those on rollers though I think.
Anonymous January 29, 2012 at 2:27 pm #82972
Hope you need to take a pic and post it of one. I'd like to see that. How do you put the fabric on? If you don't mind me asking. It sounds so neat…
Anonymous January 29, 2012 at 12:27 am #82969
Very cool! I want to do something with cool old fabric lined screen doors in my kitchen, but I always end up selling the screen door!
Anonymous January 26, 2012 at 3:31 am #82953
impressive reuse!! awesome finished idea!

Imagine if you will... you are teaching a class. It could be anything English, Math, Science, or even Technology. The textbook for the course has a tutorial that introduces a primary concept, however, unlike a lot of the text this first tutorial uses an instructional method that is not very effective for your classroom. It is factual, but your students don't really grasp the concept when through go through the activity. So, as their Instructor, you decide that you need to identify a new tutorial to replace that one, or at least augment or add to that instruction. So you go find one on the Internet and stick it in the text.
Well this happened, today. Except it wasn't a textbook it was a wiki.
The MyGLife students in Charleston were working on the Interaction section of the curriculum that taught them how to create a button. Their Instructor found another module that was also helpful in teaching the creation of Flash buttons and just added to the wiki (well actually a student added it to the wiki). New instruction for everyone in a matter of moments.
This is what it looked like before....
Add here it is after. Simple, easy, effective!
If you are a MyGLife Educator, make your wiki your own and maybe keep an eye on the other classes wikis as well!

Book Review of "Graceland" by Deborah Grabien
I love Deborah Grabien's JP Kinkaid Chronicles series, published by Plus One Books. So far, six books have been published in the series. The latest one, Uncle John's Band, came out this month. This is my review of Graceland, the fourth book in the series and the first one I read. I went back and read the earlier books, then Book of Days, which came out last September. I want to hang out with these characters! Thank you, Deborah, for giving me some cool new friends.
I don't like mysteries. But I do like rock and roll. The only way an author could ever get me to read a mystery would be to give it a rock and roll backdrop. San Francisco author Deborah Grabien does just that in her JP Kinkaid Chronicles. I happened upon Graceland, the fourth book in the series, one day at my local library. The cover photo of an empty stage with a Gibson electric guitar in a stand in one corner intrigued me. Once I read writer/musician Grabien's bio, I knew I would be checking out this book.
Grabien's protagonist, renowned British guitarist and San Francisco resident JP Kinkaid, is immensely likeable from the first page. Kinkaid, like Grabien, has multiple sclerosis, which plays a prominent role in the character's daily life and his interaction with people, most notably his wife Bree. The story resolves around the induction of guitarist Farris "Bulldog" Moody, one of Kinkaid's Mississippi Delta heroes, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When Ches Kobel, a writer who spent time with legendary blues sideman, is found dead of a heart attack in front of the Hall of Fame building in Cleveland, Kinkaid suspects foul play. Throughout the book, Grabien immerses her readers in the world of seasoned musicians. And she inundates us with what it is like for a guitarist to travel through that world while dealing with a debilitating illness. Grabien spends a lot of time developing the relationship between Kinkaid and his wife. From their unspoken communication cues to their sex life, she provides a fine portrait of a complicated, but loving relationship. I have not read the earlier books in the series, but it feel like this development has been a progression from one book to the next. It is a lot different from the stereotyped portrayal of the personal life of a rock star.
Halfway through the book, I figured out the identity of the murderer, but I enjoyed the story nonetheless. But the story left me with several questions. Is a biological lineage really more important than a perceived heritage? And does it matter, as long as you believe? I plan to pick up the three previous books to learn more about the world of JP Kinkaid and his bandmates. According to the list at the front of the book, Grabien plans five more books in the series. I'm looking forward to reading every one. But just don't call them mysteries, okay?

In honour of Louis Vuitton's 10th anniversary in India, GQ decided to take a closer look at some of brand's most fascinating trunks – and their distinguished owners, from artists and scholars to aristocrats and couturiers. Click through our slideshow to see our picks.
Jean Larivière, 2012
Designed by photographer Jean Larivière, and made at Louis Vuitton's workshop in Asnières, the Jean Larivière Case celebrates the 30-year collaboration between Louis Vuitton and the artist. Covered in Damier Graphite canvas, the case holds some of the photographer's finest photos, taken as he crisscrossed the globe from Greenland to Yemen and Tibet, in search of stunning landscapes.
Ernest Hemingway, Paris 1923
About a century ago, believing that everything can travel, not just clothes, the house of Vuitton began designing library trunks, which could be set on a table – a delight for the kinds of travellers who couldn't face even the shortest journey without their books. The compartments were tightly packed, with canvas straps holding seven to 10 books as though they were a set. The trunk could hold approximately 80 books in all, and contained two drawers for stationery, notebooks and pens. Not surprising, then, that before long Ernest Hemingway commissioned one. It was in one of these that he stored stacks of lined notebooks containing the original manuscript for A Moveable Feast.
Paris – Macao, 2009
Louis Vuitton has always been interested in games of all kinds and from all periods, from dominoes to Chinese puzzles and backgammon. With this portable casino trunk, introduced in December 2009 (to coincide with the opening of a Louis Vuitton store in Macau), it squeezed into one monogrammed canvas desk trunk every gamer's dream supplies: roulette wheel, green baize game tablecloths, playing cards, poker chips and gambling dice. Also included is the brand's celebrated President attaché case, which may be removed and carried separately. Think Ocean's Thirteen-meets-The Shanghai Gesture.
Karl Lagerfeld, Paris, 2005
In 2005, fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld ordered a handheld case to carry some 20 iPod Classics. A lover of books and music (the couturier is also the founder of the 7L Bookshop in Paris), Lagerfeld turned the case into something extremely practical: He's given each genre its own iPod, eliminating the tedious task of creating and recreating playlists. The case itself is special – his is in an elegant all-black. And elegance is something Lagerfeld understands well.
Fine Swiss Timepieces, Geneva, 2004
In 2004, designer Jean-Phillipe Martin was tasked with designing a trunk for Louis Vuitton that could hold 16 watches and weigh less than 25 pounds. It was to serve as the start of a series that would culminate in a trunk designed for 100 watches. The trunk opened up like a wardrobe, revealing a motorized compartment that oscillated and kept the watches running by mimicking the motion of a wrist. It also contained several drawers for spare straps, even a kit with precision tools. And, of course, a drawer with a false bottom – because some things are best kept out of sight.
Paris – Havana, 1997
God smokes Havanas. We didn't say it, Serge Gainsbourg, the darling of Paris' Left Bank, did. But if he did smoke, God would probably want one of these. This monogrammed canvas trunk, commissioned by an unnamed American client in 1997, was designed to hold 1,000 cigars. Louis Vuitton called on one of its _ nest craftsmen, Philip Hurel, to handcraft the chest – which also included a box on the top made of ebony sourced from Makassar. Incidentally, Nicholas Sarkozy had one of these cigar chests in the Elysée Palace when he was president – never mind that he doesn't smoke.

US President Donald Trump completed 100 days in the White House on 30 April 2017. To mark the day he gave a speech in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – a swing state that helped him to get the presidency. In the post-World War II period, Trump is a unique man in the White House with absolutely no political experience as a senator, a governor or even as a city councillor.
Most winning candidates know when electioneering ends and effective governance begins. But not Donald Trump, whose speech was in 'campaign style'. He continued his vicious attacks on media calling them 'incompetent and dishonest.' His contempt for the media is such that he chose not to attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, DC., giving Hasan Minhaj, an Indian-American stand-up comedian an opportunity to make fun of the President and at the same time laud American commitment to the freedom of speech!
Successes claimed
In his speech, President Trump claimed a few successes in the foreign policy and domestic policy areas in his brief period of administration. He had angered China, by talking to Taiwan's President. (China is irrationally sensitive on the issue – irrationally, because though it has trade, economic and investment interests in Taiwan and the latter has also invested in mainland China, it objects to any other nation keeping in touch with Taiwan, particularly the US.)After taking an assertive stand against China and accusing it of manipulating currency, self-interest made Trump reverse his stand and publicly commit to One China policy. He found soon after his ascending to the Presidency, that China had stopped manipulating Yuan's value to enable it to compete with the US goods, which he had accused China of doing during the campaigns! Trump invited Xi Jinping for a summit meeting on April 6-7 at his Florida golfing resort, Mar-a-Lago where he hailed the US-China bilateral relationship. Trump then went on to claim how he has successfully handled, North Korea, another serious security threat, with the help of China. Trump offered an anti-missile system to South Korea and after it became operational, also offered to meet North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un.
He has translated his campaign promise to keep all American jobs for Americans, under his slogan 'America First'. After assuming office, he imposed a tax on companies shifting jobs outside the US. H1B visa restrictions affect the Indians most because allegedly, Indian companies based in the US hire work force from India at a lower salary, instead of hiring Americans.
Tried and failed
Trump, the candidate was very critical of Muslims. Just seven days into the office, on 27 January, he issued an Executive Order debarring travellers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days, except civil-war torn Syrians, who are debarred indefinitely. Trump had defended his order as necessary to protect the US from Islamist militants. Ironically, while banning nine Muslim countries for safety from imaginary terrorism, he missed out Pakistan, which more than one American President in the past has considered as the epicentre of global terrorism; its hand was there in the failed WTC attack in 1993, and later in the 9/11 attacks. Trump's Executive Order was challenged in a lower court on the ground that it discriminated the seekers of US visa on the ground of religion. Two days later, a three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of appeals upheld the lower court order. Trump has held a threat to move the Supreme Court.
Yet to be tried
There were other promises he made during the campaign one of which was to abrogate NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) between the US, Canada and Mexico. Now, it is reported by Trump himself that the Canadian PM has mooted a proposal to renegotiate it, which he has agreed. He was committed to withdraw the US from the Paris Climate Treaty. Trump blamed China, Russia and India stating that these countries stand to gain everything, without contributing to the promotion of it. But now reports are that within his administration there are pro and anti- treaty groups, and a decision might be taken in the G7 summit on May 26-27. He had also spoken about making Europeans pay for NATO protection.
During the campaign he had come up with a most preposterous proposal of building a border wall between Mexico and the US to prevent illegal immigration from that country; and he said he would make the Mexican government pay the cost. However, studies have revealed that there has been a considerable decline in illegal immigration from Mexico.
However, the question looming large is: Is it ever possible to reverse the globalised economy into a nationalised economy with American protectionism as a dominant philosophic impulse? President Trump is without any political philosophy; the only philosophy he seems to have is 'maximise profit and minimise losses!', as is evident in his China policy. As The Economist pointed out in its special report recently, China used Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner with Chinese business links, for Alibaba (an e-commerce giant) to announce China's intention to create one million jobs in the US; the Chinese also cleared long-pending Trump's applications to protect trademarks which were suddenly granted! This has gone a long way to make China a 'friend!'
During the campaign period he appeared as a small time Chanakya or Machiavelli – small time, because he had not shown a Nixonian geopolitical sense or a global vision. The Trump presidency has been utterly unpredictable so far. He called District judge James Robert of Seattle, as a "so-called judge." He called Hawaii District judge's decision setting aside his banning Muslims' entry into the US "terrible." Hence, I have conferred the title of 'The Terrible' on Trump. It is not meant in the sense of Ivan the Terrible, the 16th century Russian Tsar who transformed Russia from being a medieval state to an empire. However, Ivan had a complex personality, given to instant rage. He killed in rage his son who was intelligent; thus accidentally making it easier for his incompetent son to succeed him. Trump of course will not resort to killings, but will certainly sack high-placed officials in a hope to protect his reputation as the President of the US. He has already sacked five of them, the fifth and latest being James Comey, the FBI Director who initially helped him to get elected!
So what future does Trump ensure? Having shown to his blue collar and middle class supporters that he has implemented all promises made during the campaign period and later, he will take a big U Turn on most of the policies with the exception of 15 percent tax cut to rich, before the second year begins. His alibi will be that all his international interlocutors, multinational corporations and domestic companies have accepted his policy directions making America numerouno in world politics!
His current public rating is as low as 36. If he can still mesmerise his voters with the help of Russian President he may win a second term or go down in the history text books as another one-term President, like Jimmy Carter or George T. W. Bush!

For my final collection, I was inspired by the gestural presence that an artist gives to his or her canvas. I produced a collection of woven fashion fabrics, hand finished using a variety of experimental techniques, sometimes using unorthodox tools. I approached some of my fabrics like an artist would his canvas, and used my weave as the base 'coat' for other layers including embroidery, thus breaking away from the liner restrictions of the loom.
As part of this fashion-fabric collection driven by finishing methods, I developed a technique whereby woven cloth can be manipulated and shaped directly to the body.

|Dr. Cindy Goody, McDonald's corporate nutritionist.
That's the impression I got while covering a talk given by Cindy Goody to the Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics at Weber State on Thursday. Goody is the senior director of nutrition with McDonald's corporation.
After her presentation, she invited dietitians to tour the McDonald's at 5745 South Harrison Blvd. and taste the corporation's new Premium McWrap.
With 14,000 restaurants in the United States, serving 25 million guests per day, McDonald's has a big impact on America's eating habits. Goody said that during 2007-2010 adults consumed on average, 11.3 percent of their total daily calories from fast food.
She said today's quick-serve restaurants are doing a better job of offering more fruits, vegetables and wholesome choices, sharing nutrition and ingredient information on websites and menu boards, offering more customization (such as "Hold the mayo"), and working with dietitians. Goody said at McDonald's, the team of dietitians has grown from two to eight.
Although the company is known for its hefty Big Macs and Quarter-Pounders, Goody pointed out, "We offer a burger that we've been offering since the 1950s that is only 250 calories."
And that also addresses the complaint that you have to spend a lot of money to eat the low-cal items, because the regular burger costs a lot less than a Big Mac or an Angus burger. (But Goody did add that salads and fruit items tend to cost more because the fresh ingredients are more perishable.)
Over the years, the company has added salads, grilled chicken, fruit and yogurt parfaits, and oatmeal to its menu. The oil used in frying is zero-grams of trans-fat oil, a blend of canola, soybean and corn oil.
But now let me digress. Here's what I've noticed. I'll come in to a fast food place thinking I COULD order the grilled chicken salad. But once I'm through those doors, my senses are assaulted with the aroma of french fries, sizzling beef patties and crispy chicken. So it's harder to stick to the original plan without at least ordering a side of fries.That's why I wondered how well these "healthy" items actually sell compared to the McDonald's core menu of burgers and fries. Goody told me sales figures are proprietary information. "But if something is not selling, it comes off the menu. You may notice that the Chicken Selects (chicken breast strips) and well as our snack-size fruit and walnut salads are coming off."
Happy Meals have been healthified; they now automatically include a serving of sliced apples. Goody said milk has been offered as an option for over 20 years, but "when we changed from a paper carton to a plastic jug that was more compatible to kids' hands, we saw a big uptick. We also transitioned from low-fat chocolate milk to fat-free chocolate milk."
Sodium has been reduced in the chicken filet, buns, smoothies and yogurt. The sodium was reduced in chicken McNuggets by 20 percent, but it was done incrementally, and "customers haven't noticed anything," she said.
She added that the 750-calorie Angus Third Pounder burger patty will be taken off the menu.
This past month McDonald's unveiled a Premium McWrap. But beware the healthy halo: Yes, you CAN order the healthy grilled chicken version flavored with sweet chili for about 360 calories. But if you go for the crispy chicken with bacon and cheddar jack cheese, it can run you 600 calories. But you are at least getting a few fresh veggies such as spring greens, cucumbers, and tomato.
(FREEBIE ALERT: From April 9-13, participating McDonald's in Utah will offer a McWrap for just $1 with the purchase of a drink.)
Next month, the company is rolling out an Egg White Delight McMuffin, served on a whole grain English muffin, with Canadian bacon and white cheddar cheese. It clocks in at 250 calories, compared with a regular McMuffin's 300 calories.
Goody said listing calorie counts on the menu boards hasn't made a difference in sales. "But we've gotten comments from customers that they are pleasantly surprised at how many calories different items are."

"Sara was sweet and patient with my 17 years old Macho. He had a good walk and now he's resting happy. Thank you Dara! You rock!"
I grew up with dogs in my house and started walking my Golden Retriever at around 10 years old. I have also had a Pitbull mix, Rottweiler mix, and Border Collie mix that I've walked. I was trained to walk and train dogs at a pet adoption center that I volunteered at for approximately a year and I've incorporated those techniques into my at home training.
Hello my name is Mandy. I have worked with a variety of different dog breeds and their behaviors for two years. I enjoy the company of dogs and their unique personalities. Every dog I meet manages to create a fun and new experience in my dog trainer career. I cannot wait to meet you and your best friend and create a fun and exercising experience.
"Sara was sweet and patient with my 17 years old Macho. He had a good walk and now he's resting happy. Thank you Dara! You rock!"
"Mandy is great and she took videos during the walk which I greatly appreciated! She followed directions well and made sure my pup was set for the remainder of the day :)"
"I'm always happy to see Mandy and the dogs are even happier than me!! She is very comfortable getting dogs with all different types of instructions I've had to leave her over the last couple of walks. "
"Mackenzie is so great. I'm pretty sure my puppy was so comfortable with her. My sweet puppy was super happy after walk. Thanks a lot Mackenzie "
"Mandy is the BEST!! I love her reports about the walk and the videos are Fantastic. She walks faster than anyone I know! "
"Mandy was great! My normally separation anxiety prone dog, didn't even look back when she and Mandy took off for their walk! Annie returned with a big smile on her face, and was super happy, "
"Einstein enjoyed his walk. Jasmine was on time and handled my easily excired dog well. Will definately use her again. "
"Jasmine they always have a great walk with you! They come home happy and tired! Thank you!"
"The dogs were very happy upon their return! I was impressed at how much ground she was able to cover in 30 min.. that really makes a difference for dogs that need to stretch their legs!"
"Mandy was very friendly. Will for sure use her service for future walks for my puppy. "
Corona, California, named in 1896, is surrounded by Chino Hills to the northwest, Cleveland National Forest to the south, and Santa Ana Mountains to the southwest. The people of Corona love pets and especially favor dogs. There are about 23,000 homes and an estimated 35,827 dogs in Corona with plenty of dog-friendly places in town so bring Fido when you visit.
The best dog park, according to resident dog-lovers, is Dairyland Dog Park on San Remo Drive. This is not just a dog park; it is also a water park with benches, exercise equipment for dogs, and tons of grassy area to run off-leash. The dogs and their humans are all friendly and well-behaved.

Harada Heritage Park is another great place to go with separate areas for big and small dogs and doggy obstacle course equipment. There is a jumping hoop, ladder, and a tunnel to run through which is all great exercise for dogs and their owners.
The City of Corona has so much to offer, especially for those that have dogs and love the outdoors. Corona Dog Park is located in Butterfield Park, and has two separate play areas, drinking fountains, and benches for owners to take a load off their feet.

*toot toot! all aboard my hormone train
Sometimes I wonder if we are actually safer in low-socio economic areas than in wealthier burbs.
Sometimes I wonder if we are ever truly safe.
The illusion of safety a shimmery facade we build in our minds to cope with the constant dangers we face daily.
I mean... In the end, we are all gunna die right?
Whether it's from a freak accident where a tree in a school yard drops a limb on your head or from years of bad eating habits and a slow diabetic death.
Whether we are accidentally gassed one night while we sleep from a faulty appliance or we live to be 86.
( I've seen 1000 ways to die)
Only one thing is certain. Death is inevitable.
Not to seem morbid or dark, but it IS the truth.
And so many of us, daily, avoid the truths of life.
Two things:
First of all, I'm pretty sure our local park had a drug dealer- swapping packages for packages in the far corner with several different, white middle class people the other afternoon.
Funny thing is, they all looked like normal everyday working class guys.
Not the tattooed, bikie, drug pushing stereotype you see on the news.
I lived in a low-socio economic suburb last year. I went to the park. But I never saw a drug swap and I never felt unsafe.
What is it with well off people and their drugs?
But while I watched one guy on a rather nice push bike pull up to the dealer in the afternoon sun, swap and ride off again - I still didn't feel unsafe.
Maybe the sun was having too much of an affect on me.
Maybe I'm hormonal.
Or maybe I'm just too desensitised to bother even batting a judgemental eyelid, so instead I shrug and just observe the fishbowl across the park.
It's another life. One I'm not apart of. One I never wish to be a part of. But it's just too darn riveting for me to stop looking.
There is actually ONE thing at our beautiful shady local park I refuse to witness.
What is with twenty something, inner suburb dwelling guys that says it's ok to go down to the local park, without a shirt on, and work out on the play equipment.
There's a lovely half court - even a large grassy area, where they could choose to work out. Preferably WITH a shirt on.
But not on the playground equipment.
And for reference we don't have that work out type play ground equipment at our park that you see sometimes mimicking gym equipment.
No, think - slide, flying fox, monkey bars, generic wiggly kangaroo type park.
Think, monkey bars so low I can reach them with two feet on the ground.
So when a twenty something guy comes and try's to unsuccessfully, (shirtlessly) do chin ups on those low bars because he's too tall for them while 5 or 6 kids run around him playing.
He honestly just looks like he doesn't understand social etiquette.
Or the social etiquette in my head.
Worse is that there's been more than one shirtless offender.
And trust me. They're not all something to look at.
And even if you have a six pack.
( and I'm talking about you olive skinned twenty something with the body that glistened like Edward Cullen in the midday sun )
Although I appreciate your perfectly defined torso - go get a gym membership. Or run the block.
But please don't take your shirt off and feign exercising in front of a bunch of 4 year olds and their Mums at the park.
Because it's awkward and you just look like a narcissist.
And nobody likes a narcissist.....unless they themselves are one.
( this is all making sense now... Ugh, I'm so pregnant )
Interestingly, in my low-socio economic suburb, I never saw a half naked man exercising at the local park.
Perhaps the lower class is a little classier when it comes to knowing park etiquette than the middle class.
Or perhaps they're all down at the bottle'o getting a different type of 6 pack.

Over the next four years, BAK unfolds its long-term research itinerary Propositions for Non-Fascist Living. Prompted by the dramatic resurfacing and normalization of fascisms, historical and contemporary, and inspired by philosopher Michel Foucault, BAK develops and gathers propositions for an "art of living counter to all forms of fascism, whether already present or impending,"1 including "the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us."2
Through its exhibitionary, discursive, and performative facets, Propositions for Non-Fascist Living attempts to articulate and inhabit methods of de-individualized living; methods in which multiplicity and difference enact relations other than those enamored with power and hierarchy, endeavoring to both articulate and inhabit options of being together otherwise.

12 tips to be healthy
12 Tips to be healthy
All of us really wants to be healthy, i think no one wants to be sick, but because of many things to do we sometimes forget to take care of our health, but don't blame yourself that you do nothing for your health, because there are many easy ways to stay healthy and we just have to do it.
here are the easy tips to stay healthy:
1. Don t eat too much: Eating too much can get you fat, and being fat is not healthy
2. Drink right amount of water: at least 8 glasses a day, water carries wastes out of your body. It cushions your joints. It supplies oxygen and energy to your cells. It regulates your body temperature.It stops kidney failure, it stops loss of hair, it stops you from getting dry skin and headaches.Water is like oil in a vehicle. You have to have it.
3. Don t Skip Breakfast: Eating in the morning give you energy for the rest of the day. Because it gets your bodies metabolism going first thing in the morning so you don't feel like snacking on bad stuff. It puts your body on a schedule so your body will release fat and start burning energy. You need 1300 calories a day to lose weight anything less you just store and gain back in a cycle.
4. Do breathing exercise: Specially in the morning when the air is fresh.it lowers blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels. it increases blood oxygen levels which helps with kidneys, heart, muscle growth, electrolyte exchange, circulation. it also prevents atelectasis which is a closing of the aveoli in the lungs by forcing them to stay open. one of the problems that we face as we get older is a lack of expansion in the lungs. muscles become weaker, cartilage flexes less, etc. as the lungs will expand less and less, the lower parts lose their ability to open and hold air so we get short of breath with simple exercise the older we get because we have less space. doing deep breathing as a younger person helps fight off some of the effects of old age, just like stretching muscles of the back or legs improve flexion and circulation as we get older. how often?? good question. just like regular exercise, doing it every day is a good thing. but like regular exercise sometimes we just don't have the time or energy. even once a week will do you some good and increase the oxygen levels in the blood
5. Always smile: Firstly and most importantly it improves the overall psychological and mental state of a person. It relaxes some facial muscles and widens blood vessels that help blood flow better and benefit the physical and mental health.
I am sure it also increases one's popularity and thus improves his/her social state
6. Drink your vitamin: The benefits one gets in general is, it builds up our immune system, e.g. Vit-C, B, E, A, D, K all help improve your immune system.
7. Eat Fruits: fruit has fiber, vitamins, minerals. Benefits of fruit on the digestion
Most fruits function as natural laxatives, helping to regulate your body's digestive process. They provide roughage and fiber that is important in helping your body get rid of wastes.
8. Stay Relax: Stay calm always, relaxation means three words " peace of mind"
9. Drink milk: There's loads of calcium in milk, which benefit joints. If you're not into artificial growth hormones, there are hundreds of organic options that taste the same and provide the same health benefits
10. Exercise: Strengthen your cardiovascular and respiratory systems, keep bones and muscles strong, manage your weight, prevent and manage diabetes, ease depression and manage pain and stress, reduce your risk of certain types of cancer and sleep better.
11. Socialize: Try to meet new people everyday having many friends can be benefit to your health.
12. Stay away from vices and bad habits: drinking too much alcohol, smoking, gambling, etc.
