The blog this week was written by Jennifer Goodwill, a Community Broker at The Arcadia Institute. Life is full of learning experiences. Some of our most significant learning and growth can take place as the result of a failure. Of course, no one enjoys the experience of not succeeding in a situation. However, it is these types of experiences that give us insight into our strengths and weaknesses. It is through the struggle of trying to figure out how to accomplish something that we often find the right way to move ahead. We don't always know what the right answers are going to be; rather, it is through trial and error that we are given the opportunity to discover the right steps to take and to develop the skills we need.
In working with individuals with disabilities, I have found there are times when the fear of failure is so strong, that individuals become stuck. They are not able to progress, learn and have new experiences. And, it isn't always the individual that is afraid of failing, it is his family or community circle that is afraid of the "what if…" What if he misses the bus? What if she is rejected by a potential employer? What if he gets hurt? What if she needs more time to learn a routine? What if she needs to ask for assistance? Of course, this doesn't mean you just throw someone into a situation and hope for the best. You think through in advance where the challenges may occur, create safeguards and have a contingency plan in place. We need to prepare for the worst, but expect the best.
I am a parent myself, so I understand how easy it can be to focus on the "what if…" It is out of love and concern that family members want to guard an individual from having a negative experience. There are conflicting emotions related to giving your child independence and letting them take a risk. As a parent, I am responsible for protecting my daughter. So, if something bad happens to her, how will I ever forgive myself for allowing it to happen?
But, what we need to recognize is that in our efforts to keep the bad stuff out, we keep the good stuff out, too. It is through the discovery process of trial and error that we learn and experience new things. No outcomes are guaranteed. Things don't always go as planned. That is ok. There is dignity in allowing everyone the opportunity to try new things. And, if at first you don't succeed…try, try again.

UKIP Easington hold inaugural Public Meeting
Local UKIP MEP Jonathan Arnott spoke at a public meeting in Horden (Easington constituency) last night, alongside West Midlands MEP Bill Etheridge. At just a few days' notice, the venue had to be moved due to serious damage to the roof at the previous venue. Fortunately everyone was hugely accommodating, with another excellent venue around the corner hastily arranged, and people who had received leaflets were directed to the new venue on the night.
Jane Collins MEP had been due to attend, but sadly had to miss the event due to a service for the 1400 victims of the child sexual abuse scandal in Rotherham. Thanks to Bill Etheridge MEP not only for stepping in at such short notice, but also for a superb speech highlighting his working-class background from the steel industry and how UKIP truly is a Party of the people.
With the local branch having been in existence just a few short weeks, the vast majority of those present were non-UKIP members and had never been to a UKIP event or meeting previously. It was clear that Jonathan and Bill did much to persuade the audience of UKIP's message; five new Party members and the promise of help and support from some who didn't join will attest to that!
The biggest issue was that of jobs; with unemployment a huge problem in the area, UKIP's education policies and positive vision for a focus on apprenticeships and technical education as well as on the academic side were discussed in some detail. Business owners lamented a lack of current skills; fixing the current mess in Jonathan's opinion could take years. But we cannot continue to overlook our manufacturing sector.
What did Jonathan think of the Conservatives' economic record in government? Not much, it seemed: they have achieved little for working people, the gap between here and the rest of the country economically is growing, not falling. Bill added that the Conservatives have added more to the national debt in 5 years than Labour did in 13.
Is it futile to believe that we can develop manufacturing jobs in this country? No, Bill replied, the British spirit is to never give up. And UKIP's Redcar PPC Chris Gallacher was in the room to point out that prior to his personal intervention, new jobs at a plant in Redcar were due to go exclusively to foreign workers; now, the vast majority will go to local people.
It was heartening to see that former non-voters and Labour voters alike were turning to UKIP. "I haven't voted at the last two General elections, because I haven't felt there's anyone to vote for", one confessed afterwards. But he assured us that this time would be different, and we were left in little doubt where his cross would be going!
One local Labour Party official turned up to the meeting – furiously taking notes throughout and then asking a string of questions which were easily responded to.
Don't we need immigration for our NHS to cope? He was boxing at shadows: UKIP's policy recognises that we need skilled immigration, but in the long term it's irresponsible not to train doctors and nurses ourselves. After all, we are depriving some of the poorest countries in the world of desperately-needed medical personnel.
Would ex-pat Brits living in EU countries be deported back to Britain under UKIP proposals? Of course not, just as no-one proposes to deport existing migrants in the UK who remain law-abiding citizens. And, for example, the Spanish government would hardly shun Brits taking their money into Spain.
Would British people wanting to live in France have to learn to speak French? That would be a matter for the French government. What business of ours is it to tell the French how to run their country? Jonathan speaks as much French as possible in Brussels and Strasbourg, trying to learn the language to help the work he does in the European Parliament – and also out of respect for local people.
The message of the evening was clear. No-one has challenged Labour in Easington for decades. But there's no such thing as a no-go area for UKIP, and we will give the people a real choice.

A tad of authenticity seems to go along with this tall tale, which may be why people are so quick to believe it. While to date no one has been killed (except in various television shows, movies, and other pop culture references) it IS possible to be hit by a chunk of ice falling from an airplane. Even MythBusters said that part was true! But, does that mean this photo is proof of such? Of course not...and all it took was a 3-minute Google search.
This image comes from a satirical news story featured on the comedic (and completely made up) news broadcast, The Day Today. Airing in 1994, The Day Today is a series of six half-hour episodes full of utter hilarity. Hosted by Chris Morris, the show has long been off the air, originally being shown on BBC2, but all six episodes can be found on Youtube! In fact, if you'd like to see this story as it aired, you can find it in Episode One, about 23 minutes and 24 seconds into the 'broadcast!'

There are some films...
...that make a lasting impression on you and somehow manage to creep into your subconscious. A Swedish Love Story (1970) by Roy Anderrson, is one of these films. Set during an idyllic Swedish Summer, we watch the story of two self conscious teens, Parr and Annika, falling in love. I first watched it in Norway a few years ago and it struck me down. Watching it again the other evening, it struck me down again and made my cry.
The purity and longing of their experience, juxtaposed with the bleak and hopeless depression of almost all of the adult characters makes for a film which somehow manages to convey the very essence of first, desperate love. Youth becomes something idyllic, ideal, as precious as a rare yellow diamond whilst adulthood is full of middleclass and middleage disillusion, delusion and depression. This film is shot in the most beautiful way and as for the performances by these two young actors, it is astounding.
Ultimately it is a film about how love can be used to rescue each other, not just from life as you know it but also from reality. A lovers world is a world of dreams afterall. WATCH IT!!

Search for decisions citing this decision
"...[1] This is an appeal from the order of Lederman J. (the motion judge) dismissing the defendants' (appellants') motion for an order dismissing or staying the action brought against them by the respondent (plaintiff). The order further provided that the ex juris service on the non-Ontario defendants was valid under Rule 17.02(h). The non-Ontario defendants also appeal this order...
[9] The characterization of the plaintiff's claim was an important step in the determination of whether the Ontario court had jurisdiction. The appellants argued on the motion and again on appeal, that the plaintiff's claims, in their essence, alleged breaches of a series of agreements between the plaintiff and various defendants. Many of those agreements contained provisions giving the English courts exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of the agreements. The appellants argued that these exclusive-jurisdiction provisions applied to the plaintiff's action. On the appellants' submissions, the exclusive jurisdiction provisions provided a strong argument both against the assumption of jurisdiction and, if jurisdiction was taken, the further determination that Ontario was the most appropriate forum: see Z.I. Pompey Industrie v. E.C.U.-Ligne N.A., [2003] S.C.J. No. 23 at para. 20.
[10] The characterization of the claims depends in large measure on the contents of the statement of claim. That document is long and in some respects unclear. The motion judge reviewed the claim and the additional material filed on the motion. He did not accept the appellants' contention that the plaintiff's lawsuit was in essence a series of claims based on alleged breaches of the contracts. He characterized the claim in this way at paras. 19-20:
I accept the plaintiff's characterization of this claim as, in pith and substance, centering on the fiduciary relationship between PMCC and Peebles and Smith. The allegation is that the two deliberately orchestrated events to put PMCC at a disadvantage, to ultimately pursue the Peruvian opportunities in their own interests. The objects of an agency relationship should not be the sole determinant of that relationship's character.
This alleged orchestration included improprieties in preparing and executing the loan advance documents and the Asset Purchase Agreement. However, this case is not about Smith's loans to PMCC or the Asset Purchase Agreement: it is about an allegedly abusive course of conduct by fiduciaries. The suit is not contractual in substance. Although PMCC has specifically pleaded a breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement, on a review of the Amended Statement of Claim as a whole, I am satisfied that the references to the loan advances and Asset Purchase Agreement serve as illustrations or iterations of the defendants' breaches of their duties of confidence, loyalty and good faith and as part of a broader narrative of abusive conduct. [Emphasis added.]
[11] I agree with the motion judge's characterization of the claim.
[12] The other significant feature of the claim for jurisdictional purposes arises out of the remedies sought by the plaintiff. In essence, the plaintiff seeks orders in the nature of disgorgement of the profits the defendants gained as a result of the alleged breaches of their duties to the plaintiff. The disgorgement takes the form of a constructive trust over any interest any of the defendants have in the Peruvian properties, or a constructive trust over the shares in various foreign corporate defendants.
[13] The motion judge set out his reasons for holding that the Ontario court had jurisdiction with his usual clarity. He approached the jurisdictional question in two stages. First, he determined whether the Ontario court had jurisdiction to grant the remedies sought by the plaintiff even though those remedies potentially affected property (shares and land) in foreign jurisdictions (paras. 22-34). At this stage of the inquiry, he considered and applied the four-part test set out in Catania v. Giannattasio 1999 CanLII 1930 (ON C.A.), (1999), 174 D.L.R. (4th) 170 (Ont. C.A. ). He concluded that the remedies sought did not preclude the Ontario court from taking jurisdiction.
[14] Having determined that the Ontario court had jurisdiction over the remedies, the motion judge turned to the question of whether the court should assume jurisdiction over the non-Ontario defendants (paras. 35-53). In making that determination, he considered and applied the factors identified in Muscutt v. Courcelles 2002 CanLII 44957 (ON C.A.), (2002), 60 O.R. (3d) 20 ( C.A. ). The motion judge concluded that the action did have a real and substantial connection to Ontario warranting the assumption of jurisdiction by an Ontario court.
[15] I take a somewhat different approach to the jurisdictional question, but arrive at the same result. I do not favour the two-stage analysis engaged in by the motion judge in which he first considered jurisdiction based on the nature of the remedy sought and then turned to the broader question of the sufficiency of the connection of the action to Ontario to justify the assumption of jurisdiction over non-Ontario defendants...
19] I agree with the appellants' contention that Lederman J. erred at para. 28 in holding that for the purpose of the Catania inquiry, a court had in personam jurisdiction if ex juris service could be effected on the defendant under the Rules. As Sharpe J.A. stated in Muscutt, supra, at para. 48:
I agree with the motion court judge that Rule 17.02(h) is procedural in nature and does not by itself confer jurisdiction.
[20] In personam jurisdiction, which is not based on the presence of the defendant (as it was in Catania) or the defendant's attornment to the jurisdiction, can exist only where there is a sufficient connection between the action and Ontario to warrant assumption of jurisdiction over that action by the Ontario court. The real and substantial connection test measures the sufficiency of that connection. Consequently, in cases of assumed jurisdiction, what is described in Catania as the first of four prerequisites to jurisdiction in fact requires a determination of whether on the totality of the circumstances there is a real and substantial connection between Ontario and the action so as to justify the assumption of in personam jurisdiction. In other words, the first criterion identified in Catania calls for the much broader inquiry mandated by the real and substantial connection so clearly explained in Muscutt.
[23] Recognizing that the real and substantial connection test is the single test for determining whether an Ontario court can assume jurisdiction over out of province defendants in no way diminishes the relevance of the Catania factors where the remedy sought affects foreign immovables. Performing the entire jurisdictional analysis within the real and substantial connection framework does, however, best achieves the flexibility and holistic inquiry favoured by Muscutt.
26] Smith had a potentially significant connection to Ontario. On the plaintiff's allegations, he received confidential information from the plaintiff, an Ontario corporation. He agreed to work with Peebles on of the business affairs of that Ontario corporation. Smith knew that Peebles, an Ontario resident, was the Ontario corporation's agent and was in a fiduciary relationship with that Ontario corporation. Although Smith was never in Ontario, it is fair to say that he became involved in a business relationship that he knew originated in and was centered in Ontario. Smith could well have foreseen an action in Ontario if the obligations and duties arising out of the business relationship to which he became a party were not honoured.
[27] I agree with the motion judge's finding that the Ontario court could assume jurisdiction over the non-Ontario defendants.
[28] Having determined that an Ontario court could assume jurisdiction over the action, the motion judge turned to whether Ontario was the appropriate jurisdiction in which to try the claim (paras. 54-61). He concluded at para. 61:
In sum, this action has connections to Ontario, Peru , and the U.K. Though both Peru and the U.K. might also have jurisdiction to hear the action, neither forum is clearly more appropriate than Ontario.
29] Unlike the jurisdictional determination, which raises a question of law reviewable on a correctness standard, the motion judge's determination that Ontario was the convenient forum for this litigation, involves the exercise of judicial discretion to which this court owes deference: B.N.P. Paribas (Canada) v. B.C.E. Inc., 2007 ONCA 559 (CanLII), [2007] 227 O.A.C. 102 at para. 4 ( C.A. ).
[35] Rule 17.02(h) permits service ex juris
In respect of damage sustained in Ontario arising from a tort, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty or breach of confidence wherever committed.
36] The plaintiff seeks damages by way of an alternative remedy. The damage claimed is not as thoroughly articulated in the statement of claim as are the plaintiff's other claims. The damage claim is, however, essentially a claim for the money equivalent of the potential profits lost to the plaintiff when, according to its allegation, the defendants misappropriated the various mining opportunities in Peru .
[37] The plaintiff, as indicated above, is an Ontario corporation with a registered office in Ontario, carrying on business in Ontario. It is a reasonable inference that its financial records and infrastructure are maintained in Ontario.
[38] The motion judge held that damages flowing from the alleged breaches constituted damages sustained in Ontario, thereby bringing the claim within rule 17.02(h). I agree with that conclusion. As held by Osler J. in Skyroters Ltd. v. Carriere Technical Industries Ltd. (1979), 26 O.R. (2d) 207 at 209–210 (H.C.J.):
In my view, the corporations here bringing action to the extent that they have suffered a loss of profits and a loss of use of the machine, were disadvantaged and were so disadvantaged at the place where their financial records were kept and where they did business, namely at their head office in Ontario. The damage sustained was so sustained, in my view, within Ontario…
[39] I think the damage claim brings the action within rule 17.02(h)..."

Caught on nanny cam: Tennessee babysitter accused of abusing toddler arrested
LINCOLN COUNTY, Tenn. (WZTV) - A Lincoln County babysitter was wanted for child abuse after a mother claims she was caught on nanny cam abusing a toddler.
Rainey Upton was arrested Tuesday in Madison County, Alabama, according to the Madison County Jail.
She is being held on a felony warrant for child abuse in Lincoln County. She's a being held as a fugitive of justice.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department says it began investigating Upton after investigators learned the alleged abuse of a child under 2 years old was captured on a nanny camera. Here's the video:
"Law enforcement has also learned the nanny cam video has been put on social media by the mother of the child," the department said in a news release. "The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department would urge the public to allow the judicial process to work in this case."
After seeing the video from Nov. 12, the LCSD said the district attorney's office issued a warrant for Upton for child abuse.

Registered for spring courses! I have decided to take Spanish. I not only have an interest in the foreign language its apart of my culture. My Dad's side of the family all know at least some Spanish and I would love to be able to speak Spanish for many reasons. I have met some really awesome people. Work is eh...But at least its a paycheck every week.
I feel like I should put up a before and after picture of what I look like now and last year this time. I don't know we will see. I heard its snowing in Portland. Oh how I miss snow. Yes I indeed miss the 4 hour drives home. Ok that was me being sarcastic. But I do miss waking up and looking out the window and there be snow.
I miss Portland living , if only i could have the best of both world's. I think what I miss the most is a place of my own. Where me and the roomies chilled, drank, played games. I will have again someday but right now I miss that.
Going to make cookies soon. If anyone is down
Here are some pictures of the past week-
yeah i know the end pictures are quite classy............

From Brian of Zap2it:
- No 'parade of horror' for these pop-star wannabes
"If we can go by the kids auditioning for "The Next Star" this summer, the future of music may not be so bleak after all. The series, premiering Friday, July 18, on YTV, follows the multicity audition and audience-voting format. But that's where the similarity to shows like "Canadian Idol" ends, says producer Jameel Bharmal." Read more.

Part II Help for passive aggression: Living with a passive aggressive spouse
Each day thousands of Americans are searching the internet trying to find answers and understand passive aggressive behavior. These families are going through hell on their own with little to no help for those living with a family member with this condition.They may be living with a passive aggressive parent or a passive aggressive spouse. Unfortunately there is almost no one out there to help them to find solutions. The condition has been classified and reclassified. Meanwhile many families are suffering through this trauma all alone. That is what inspired me to write these articles on passive aggression. I have one goal in mind and that is to offer some help to those families in need who are desperately searching for answers.
Sharing publicly a great deal of personal information is not easy for me but I believe in the long run I will help many people. The condition of passive aggression has been known of since the age of World War II yet, there is still little support out there for anyone dealing with a family member who is passive aggressive. If you have not read my first article, please go back and read, "Living with a passive aggressive spouse".
I have found that there are four very distinctive stages that the passive aggressive I have lived with goes through. These four stages can run every few months. In my husbands case I see a pattern of deep depression as the cause for his behavior that is so extremely difficult to live with. While reading, ask yourself if this sounds like what you or a family member are experiencing.
Stage 1.) My husband will be void of anger and overly passive. At this point he will be extremely agreeable. In public he is charming, helpful, and caring. People on the outside like him and see him in a positive light. So do I. He is the guy who buys me flowers and tells me how much he loves me. At a charity he is more than willing to help in any way. He will act in a loving way as if he is the completely devoted husband. And I must add...I think down deep inside he wants to be this person all the time. He will be a good father, a good listener, and a good husband. Those who do not know my history look at me and wonder if I have the problem. I appear tense and angry at times. However, quietly I know this stage of my husband's helpfulness will not last and the next phases of this condition will soon surface their ugly head. I also know that my husband does not want to be on the angry ugly side ever but he will soon see things in extremes and it is so hard for him to control his feelings when this happens.
2.) Stage Two of his passive aggressive cycle goes like this. He continues to be outwardly agreeable but things change. If he is asked to go to the store he will gladly go but get the wrong thing. He will agree to pay a bill and forget. He smiles and agrees at each and every request and then quietly refuses to follow through. He will claim he is going to do something on his own and then never do it. In conversation he will dismiss your every statement about every subject. If asked why he is becoming slowly argumentative and devaluing my every word he will say, " Oh I didn't mean it. You miss understood me. I wasn't saying that." This part escalates. He starts playing devils advocate in ever conversation no matter how insignificant it may be. Quietly with a smile and a soft voice he disagrees with absolutely everything. I will find that in this stage he sabotages any work I am trying to complete on my own. He will throw out items I am saving for crafts. Often he throws out all the mail, I mean every last piece of mail in my name he can find. When confronted his calm answer is always, " No reason. I was just cleaning up."
3.) At stage three life can become unbearable! At this stage he become argumentative and angry. He will reject any suggestion I make. He will defy every wish. This is when he has tantrums and extreme outbursts. His remarks become cruel and intimidating. When confronted he will deny he ever said he had a problem and insist all is my fault. He will deny ever agreeing to get help. His insults and personal attacks become extreme. If it is the holidays I am in trouble. In this stage the passive aggressive will ruin Christmas. If it is your birthday your gift will be as hurtful as it can be and so will the remarks that go with it. Passive aggressives do not call names. Their comments run in a fashion to cause deep emotional pain. Once my husband screamed at me in a fit of rage, " For God's sake your own mother doesn't even love you. She can't stand you. She never could!"
The incident happened many years ago. We had started a home improvement project and all was going well. Suddenly things changed and he refused for no reason to help in any way finish that job. His refusal went on for days. We had taken out a a small our side staircase to the cellar and our home was left with a wide opening. Any animal or flowing rain water could run right in. My insistence that the job be finished only made him resist more. He became angry and that lead to some of the most hurtful words I have ever heard. That is when I really started to understand that this behavior was not cruel it was crazy. I was dealing with some sort of mental illness.
In this stage every request is a absolute no. He can not be helpful in any way. The personal attacks will fly. He becomes like this completely out of control teenage brat that no one on earth can deal with. In this stage he tantrums and walks back and forth very fast bullying me desperately seeking "MY" expression of anger. I hate the way this makes me feel. At this point I feel completely over whelmed and powerless. If I have the flu he will refuse me any help or assistance what-so-ever. He has in the past become a sudden lousy father refusing to pick up our son or buy groceries. I watch him become a monster with each passing remark and left feeling completely baffled. Many times during this stage he would take off and disappear. He would sleep in his car and with money in the bank in the past he even went so far as to check himself into a homeless shelter for a night. Through out this process he kept telling me it was all me and all my fault. He takes no responsibility for his behavior.
4.) Stage four he will begin to sulk. For many hours and sometimes days he will sit in silence after the huge upset. This is part of his need to punish, punish, punish. Left with a life of no intimacy, no help and cruel hurtful personal attacks I got fed up and threw him out. John had many years to think about his actions.
In my long research on this subject I have found that it is common for spouses of a passive aggressive to have severe panic attacks and that most couples divorce. Women tend to stay longer while men more often say screw this and jump out of the marriage much sooner. It is also very hard to find financial support in any community for these families. That needs to change.
So here is my advice. Do not accept this behavior. It will hurt you and your children. Use your cell phone and document extreme behaviors and record all tantrums and promises. I did not have this option years ago so it was harder to say to him, " yes you did do these things" when he tried to minimize them. Do not erase what you recorded. Show these recordings only to a counselor who is dedicated in helping you find solutions that are best for you and your children. Do not stay in the house during the silent treatment abuse. Leave immediately and do not return until he behaves as an adult. Take young children with you. If you have young children seek help in a family court to protect the kids. Last understand that mental illness is not your fault no matter how hard the passive aggressive tries to minimize or underplay their own actions. Know that you are not to blame for any of it and you have right to a decent life and a caring relationship. It might even be helpful for you to copy this article and save it.
You are not alone in these experiences. Many people are going through this very trauma. We need to advocate for better mental health reform and make sure that all families dealing with this can find needed services to help them cope. So become an advocate for yourself and others experiencing these same difficulties and keep reaching for a better life.
By Joanne Kathleen Farrell
I deeply appreciate this article. I am curious: Have you ever tried to share with close friends or family members whom you believe you can trust this same information you share here? I ask, because I am a psychotherapist and have had clients in the same situation as you. Often, they keep all of this crazy-making P/A behavior to themselves for fear that they will look paranoid or crazy or will not be believed. At times, when they finally DO work up the courage to share with someone in their lives they DO trust, they are in some cases not believed because the spouse "is so nice - that does not sound like him at all. Are you sure you are not imagining this?" And the support that they need is not there in the ways that they had hoped. So, I am wondering your experience with this, and if you add to this hub and talk about that, I would love it if you let me know, unless you choose not to answer - or perhaps answer via a comment, here. Thanks again.

When I'd study about sunk costs in my economics courses, there was always some example about a nonrefundable expense. You pay for something in advance and then some conflict arises. People often decide to keep the (original) commitment because otherwise they'll have wasted their money (so the text reports). In economics you learn that one of the dumb things people who don't study economics do is look to the past to make decisions about the future, incorrectly drawing conclusions about getting their money's worth or believing that if they cut their losses, all will have been for naught. Morons.
So economists came up with a fancy name for teaching their moron friends to make a rational decision at a time when it might be hard to make a rational decision. Mostly they did it because they operate under the impression that people are rational, and when they aren't, it really throws a kink in the works. When other losers act irrationally and negate economists' very existence and basic principles, it gets 'em all worked up. Or they just have a good laugh at lesser humans' feeble minds. Either way, what they named the principle is sunk costs. What I like about sunk costs is that it's simple. In theory. When you can't recover costs you've already incurred, don't get all emotional about it and dwell on what could have been. You have to make your brain forget about the sunk costs you've incurred. Because the cost is sunk. Deciding to pay the cost was a different decision. You have to make a completely independent, different, new, unrelated decision about what to do next. The two decisions aren't linked. Nothing complicated about that idea.
What I don't like about sunk costs is that in practice, it's not always so simple. Isn't that always the way. For me, the problem usually goes like so: I paid for this entire plate (okay, more like this entire bag) of food; I have to eat it all to get my money's worth. It's just going to sit on my plate (fine, more like someone else's plate) if I don't eat it. It's wasted food; therefore, wasted money. Somehow I forget to make an independent decision about when to stop eating, and I also forget about how food has calories. It's true for other decisions I make as well. It's easy not to make a rational decision when money, or some other valuable resource, is involved. But I am hoping to make sunk costs one of the basic principles in MY life, so that's the idear behind the blawg title. I strive to claim victories in the name of sunk costs. And also any other kinds of victories I can claim.

Good post. In The Four Hour Workweek, the author talks about the "art of nonfinishing" as a way of capturing more of your own time.
Don't like the movie you're watching? Get up and walk out. Don't like the book you're reading? Don't finish it.
Starting something doesn't necessarily make finishing worthwhile, he says.

Are you looking for a Psychic Near Me in Vandalia Ohio 45377.
Psychic Near Me Vandalia Ohio 45377
Let's take a few minutes and talk about some of the various ways to discover a psychic or medium – either local to you, or that is available to you in a hassle-free and comfy method. Keep in mind, just because a reader is close and convenient, nevertheless … it does not always indicate that the experience is going to ready. (or visa versa – sometimes you have to extend yourself a bit to have a really extraordinary experience, and the very same applies to the spiritual field also)
That stated – all the suggestions listed below are easy, cost effective (as long as you remain cost mindful) and are tried and true methods for the true blue followers, in addition to the curious … but not persuaded:-)
Join a Meetup
Every city, and state has spiritual satisfy ups that deal with the psychic expedition neighborhood and in all possibility, you will NOT have trouble finding one near you. (depending a bit on where you live and how big your neighborhood is, you might discover you need to drive a bit to get there, however for the majority of our readership, this is a good choice) Have a look at meetup.com and just use their search function to psychic and spiritual fulfill ups that are geographical hassle-free for you.Join a Spiritist church or company Spiritist churches( and spiritualist churches, similar focus, different companies) both provide access to spiritual mediums as part and parcel of their "prayer" procedure. Some locations have more of these churches than others, but most big cities will have one near … and NO, you do not need to alter your underlying religious beliefs to sign up with. (or to have some crazy cool experiences with some really special mediums, at fraction of a fraction of the rate you 'd pay to see a real "celeb" reader too)
Recommendations and buddies
Referrals and suggestions remain among the very best methods to find good, skilled and reputable psychics and mediums. You might need to press and prod a bit … as in some cases our friends and family do not desire us to know that they have actually seen or talked to a psychic or a medium. (something I constantly find silly … however it surprises me the number of individuals will attempt to reduce the concept, till they later are comfy sufficient to confess they have actually had the experience, and it moved them deeply)
Online directories
Obviously we are prejudiced due to the fact that THIS is our online psychic directory.:–RRB- However a good, credible directory site that notes psychic and spiritual professionals in your locale or geographical location is a great method to find regional help, and with websites like this one, as well as other local directories that cater to more generalized audiences, you'll discover fantastic "gems" in the spiritual marketplace that are well worth exploring.Craigslist Be careful-
but Craigslist CAN be a terrific place to discover economical local readers Do not offer your credit card info out over the phone to a complete stranger, and DO do some due diligence first, but there are lots of genuine psychics and mediums who market on Craigslist because it's totally free and popular, and we've had some excellent experience finding some quality readers to write about from online classifieds like CL.Review Sites Once again- beware as numerous psychic evaluation websites are frauds,( and are written by online marketers and NOT mediums) however you can find local evaluation directories like Yelp and just like help you find extremely ranked and reviewed psychics and mediums where you live, work and play.TV and print media Lastly, don't underestimate the TELEVISION, or local magazines (particularly if you live in a larger metropolitan area )in addition to any and all other media that has an area on lifestyle for the spiritual set. For example, I found among my favorite mediums ever from a profile written in a local magazine, and among my closest buddies swears by a medium she discovered who does local astrological charts for a town newspaper. (but whose focus is NOT astrology, but rather … her apparently incredible instinctive ability and her constant performance history of offering evidential information from the opposite … to ALL of my buddies skeptical and negative peers, loved ones) Keep in mind -if you are seriously trying to find an enjoyable, evidential and amusing psychic reading- adhere to a budget- do a bit of due diligence- DO N'T over examine or squander weeks looking for excellence,
and simply dive in and indulge your curiosity.( if you are anything like countless our own readers throughout the years … it's a decision that COULD modification what you believe permanently ).

Review originally posted on Bibliophilia, Please
There's not enough deep space science fiction in YA, and I did not realize that I was missing it until I read
by Phoebe North. There are others out there similar to it, namely
Across the Universe
by Beth Revis, but
had a story all its own. Phoebe North spins the Jewish diaspora and makes it a sort of human diaspora in the world-building of the novel. I thought of that comparison because
, the spaceship in the novel, exists to preserve Jewish culture. Yes, it's got a lot of religious influences in the story, but the world-building was unique and intriguing, so it all works. Oh, and there is this twist at the end that I didn't see coming. I love when those things hit me unexpectedly.
Terra was the main character in the novel, and I instantly connected with her because I felt sorry for her.
starts out with her mother's funeral. This event lays the seeds for everything that happens to her three years down the road. It leaves her feeling very isolated because her family is no longer one with four people: father, mother, son, daughter. (That's how ALL families are made up on the ship.) When the story picks back up when she's fifteen, her dad is a verbally abusive jerk, her brother is married to an alright girl of a higher station, and she is waiting to find out what her job on the ship will be. Terra is hoping for a job as an artist, but she ends up in botany with a woman who did not want a
(apprentice). She also has a lot of weird dreams about her
(soulmate) that not even BEGIN to make any sense until the end of the novel. The long and short of it is that she's a strong girl who makes it through a crappy three years, loyal to her friends and family, tries to do the right thing even when it's hard, and never stops questioning what she is doing or why. The last part has a lot to do with the murder she witnesses, but I don't want to spoil anything. Let's just say that things begin to spiral after that.
In case it hasn't come across clearly, I loved
. However, there were a few things that I did not quite understand in the book. The letters to Terra, the daughter of one of the Earth-born passengers on the ship, throughout the novel helped with the suspense, but they threw me off at times. The current Terra's dreams were definitely confusing, and it was not until maybe 95% into the book that I saw the purpose in them at all. There is a social ladder that is a borderline caste system on the ship, but the job-based rungs of that ladder were vague. Some people married outside of their job level, but others acted like it was forbidden. *scratches head* These things did not detract much from my enjoyment of Terra's story, and the version of
that I read was an ARC, so maybe it's changed.
All in all,
was a mystery about a society shot into space and where it went wrong, and a coming of age story for Terra, who is faced with the constant struggle of doing what she believes to be the right thing. The religious aspects of the story sets it apart from other science fiction novels that I have read.
, book two, is due next year, and I am anxiously awaiting it.
- 4/5 Stars -
To satisfy FTC guidelines, I am disclosing that I received the book for reviewing purposes as a part of
Itching for Books Blog Tours
in exchange for an honest review. The advance digital copy was provided to the tour by the publisher, which has in no way affected the outcome. All opinions expressed are rambling, honest, and completely my own.

Are you more interested in being upstanding parents, counting on faith (and guilt) to keep your kids out of each others' pants, or are you interested in maybe doing a better job of helping your children to stop leading the nation (and the industrialized world) in teen pregnancy statistics?
I know that you like being number one and all, but isn't it time to let somebody else take over this throne?
If we are to take cues from the Holy Bible regarding pre-marital sex we should also be aware that the custom during the time when it was being written was for sons to be married at the time of the onset of puberty, with daughters often married off before that. Those who wrote the Bible lived in a society where teen sex and pregnancy were natural, normal occurrences because nearly all were married by the time they became teenagers.
We live in a world with situations and expectations that would be completely foreign to the many authors of the scriptures. It is important to decide whether it is more important to attempt to continue to strive for the traditional goal (prevention of teen sex) with a high likelihood and very high cost of failure, or to embrace a more practical goal (prevention of teen pregnancy), which has been shown to have a high likelihood of success in nearly every other industrialized country in the world.
Texas is very obviously failing at a job that NO society has EVER succeeded at. There is no shame in realizing this, but there is shame in not even considering what has been proven to be a more effective method of preventing teen pregnancy.
The tools are readily available. Fix this situation. Continue to preach abstinence as the best choice if you must, but at least consider including meaningful information on contraception. Learn from places that have better results than you do. Do it for the children. All of them.

Why I Love What I Do:
My role is a unique combination of external and internal objectives.

On the other hand, I have the power to refine our agency from an inside operations perspective.

In my freetime…
I enjoy using and learning about new consumer technologies; I'm fascinated how innovations in computers, smartphones, tablets and wearables has redefined the way people work and live.
I love music, particularly rock 'n' roll, blues, jazz and a bit of country. I play five instruments: guitar, bass, saxophone, piano and drums. Throughout highschool and college, I played in several school and non-school bands. Today, I compose and publish music using GarageBand for Mac and iOS.
I love to drive! I am a car enthusiast to my core. To me, there's nothing better than cruising down the street on a beautiful day with the windows down and the music turned up — This is truly one of my favorite places to be.

This " How to Lose Weight on a Budget " post describes the tips and tricks I did to lose weight. This post contains affiliate links/ads. See disclosure policy.
Are you on the budget but still want to lose weight? If your answer is YES to this, then, this post is yours.
I'll tell that it is hard to lose weight when you are on the budget because you need to buy foods that may not always fit your budget. But that doesn't mean that there are no other ways to lose weight while on a budget.
Before we begin, let's be clear on an important piece, that is, this post is not for crash dieting.
It is important to understand that if you are looking for a sustainable weight, one which you can maintain too, then crash diets will never do their magic for you. You might get the desired results quickly, but these results are temporary.
Bless those people who spread the rumor that losing weight in a healthy manner is expensive. Not always. I weighed 170 lbs before and I am only 5'7". For that height, I was overweight. I felt sluggish, tired, and unhealthy.
I was able to trim down my weight and came from 170 to 140 lbs. in less than a year. Since then, my weight has stayed around 140s. I didn't do the crash diet. Some may say 30 lbs. in one year is not a whole lot since there are a lot of people losing 10 lbs. in just two months or something like that.
But I didn't resort to extreme exercises and expensive diet foods. Either way 30 lbs. is 30 lbs.
Well, I think a healthy lifestyle is cheaper. You don't always have to go with a proper, high-end gym training to lose weight.
You can easily live a healthy lifestyle through some simple lifestyle choices.
Note: I'm not listing the cheap weight loss supplements here. I don't generally believe in weight loss supplements.

How to Lose Weight on a Budget
These are some really painless and easy ways through which you can lose weight and feel amazing, too. Weight loss through these ways is gradual (definitely) but you will see great results within some time and these results last. So let's get started with some simple, cheap ways to lose weight fast or gradually.
You can also go through weight loss programs like The Mayo Clinic Diet, which are designed to help you lose weight the healthy way. As many say, Mayo Clinic Diet is the last diet you will ever need.
Stay hydrated (seriously)
This is the key to losing weight. If you don't stay hydrated, your body swells. A lot of people complain that their face turns chubby out of nowhere and they don't realize that their water intake is less. The Human body needs water to function in several different manners.
Do you know that dehydration causes mood swings, headaches, and fatigue? It is true. This means you need to drink more to keep yourself from experiencing these not so good feeling.
Staying hydrated is the first key to losing weight. It also gives you a feeling of fulfillment and you don't find the need to keep eating something all the time.
Try not to eat anything after 8 or 9 at night. If you feel hungry, make yourself some fresh juice or just drink water. It ends the hunger amazingly.
Skip (not) the breakfast
A lot of us just skip breakfast because we either don't get up on time and are running late or we just don't have a habit of attending to it. However, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Your body is technically starving for hours since you don't eat while you are asleep. The last time you ate, let's say, was at 8 at night and then you woke up at 8 in the morning. After what you call a decent 12-hour gap of not fueling your body with food, your body is yearning for food so that it regains some energy.
People who skip breakfast and eat hours after they wake up will feel hungry shortly again. Moreover, this habit also slows down your body's metabolism as your body is taking energy from the food that is already stored in it.
Eating after such a long-time gap will leave your blood sugar level extremely high. What's even worse is that you'll end up eating more without you even knowing it.
A lot of people do not feel hungry when they wake up and that is just fine. However, eat something like protein bar, so your metabolism goes running.
Eat fruits and veggies
Eating fruits and veggies is one of the reasons why a lot of people say that healthy eating or losing weight on a budget is impossible. Well, a single fruit or vegetable won't make you go penniless.
A lot of people buy it all in bulk and that is okay, too. But I recommend that you just buy the amount of food you'll consume in a week. Fruits and veggies go bad after a week or so. To avoid food waste, buy what you need for the whole week.Fruits and veggies give your stomach a fulfillment feeling. You'll end up not getting hungry for a few more hours. Plus, they are nutritious and cost way cheaper than we buy slices of pizza, pop tarts, and others. I'm just saying.
Be light on dinner
Unless there's an occasion or you are out on a date or party, you need to stay low key when it comes to dinner.
Occasions occur (once in a blue moon) and usually, they happen during dinner time. It's ok to eat a lot during dinner but not always.
On a daily basis, dinner should be the lightest meal you eat. Studies show that if you eat large meals during the day and eat less at night, then, you are probable of losing more weight than the ones who eat more at night. The human body digests really slowly during the night time.
Replace your dessert cravings
Leaving behind the dessertcravings can be the hardest part (yes, I've been there) but once you gain control, you are all set to achieve what you have thought of.
Eat fruits instead. This might sound bad but once you develop a habit of eating fruits, you are likely going to end the craving of sweet sooner than later.
However, your sweet tooth does not have to suffer completely. You can take a day off and enjoy your favorite cake, too. But always keep in mind that the proportion you eat matters a lot. You don't have to dig into the cake and eat the whole cake in a few minutes.
You can easily have the smallest piece and eat gradually so that your craving is satisfied without having to eat a lot in a short period.

Throw sugary drinks away
Soda and sweetened drinks are the enemies of losing weight. They won't let you lose the extra and dirty fat that is gathered up around your tummy or thighs etc.Unsweetened teaand water are definitely off this list. Liquid sugar like sodas can or will promote weight gain. Instead of drinking sugary drinks, drink water instead. If you do really like to drink sugary drinks or add some sweet taste in your water, put sweet fruits like mango, strawberry, etc. in your water.
Cut down on your beef consumption
Surely a bad news for beef lovers, isn't it? When I say "go away", what I mean by that is you cut off your beef consumption not cut out.
It is not only going to save you money but it will also decrease your consumption of calories. You can replace beef with some of the best and amazing foods like beansand other protein-enriched foods. Simple foods like beans don't cost a lot and won't break your bank.
These protein-enriched foods are not only packed with nutrients but they are also low in calories. They are a great way to lose weight on a budget. So, ditch the beef for a day or two in the week and see how easily you can manage your budget too and lose weight as well.
I should say cutting down on your beef consumption is one cheap way to lose weight without exercise.

Avoid salty snacks
Who does not like chips for snacks? That's an easy question with an equally easy answer. Of course, the answer is everybody or almost everybody.
Chips are bad for your health. Replacing them is important if you want to lose weight on a budget meal plan.
Salted snacks give you a bloated feeling. You are likely to feel less full and more bloated. But if you eat fruits instead of chips and other salty items, then, you will feel that the bloating feeling will disappear and you will have a feeling of tummy fulfillment, too.
You are going to kill that hunger by eating fruits and veggies without consuming too many calories, fats, sugar, and other unwanted chemicals. For instance, you can have veggies like carrot for your snacks. Cucumber is also a great snack, too.
I say that this is one way on how to lose weight on a budget and buy schedule.
Go slow on the junk food
This is the toughest battle to fight especially if you are always on the go and not at home a lot of times. For instance, your college cafeteria is the most attractive thing on earth and that healthy sandwich you take along with you seems the worst thing that meets your eyes.
Control is what you will definitely have to master in order to actually lose weight. Junk food is one of those culprits that contribute to weight gain. Therefore, it is important to cut down on eating junk food.
Once a month is okay because cheat days are what keep us all going, don't they? But just make sure that you stay really low key on junk food or make yourself a yummy burger, snack, or something at home so you know what goes in there and what you are eating!

Be selective about cheat days
Okay, so we have been talking about cheat days in the article. But that does not mean that you can have a cheat day every other day or once a week. Don't even try it.
You need to be really selective about your cheat days and you don't have to eat everything on the single cheat day.
For instance, you can eat your favorite junk food item once a month. Keep the first week of the month or the middle one for it. Select one weekend to satisfy your dessert cravings. Make sure that you work out or jog or whatever you do the next day so that you burn those calories for sure.
Be really selective and don't just keep one day for everything!
Get a food journal and start recording
If you want to lose weight on a budget, a food journal can be helpful. Choose one that makes you want to pick it up and write on it. Also, use sticky notes and colorful post it notes so that your journal looks pretty enough that you don't bother writing on it from time to time.
This is the food journal I used. It worked and I love it so much.
Record your achievements in this food journal. It is really important and will help you in ways than you can imagine.
The best part is that a journal is a secret thing to keep, so no one will know if you cheated an extra day or two. Putting everything what you do to lose weight or control it is necessary. This way, you can see, in writing, what works and what doesn't.
While you can just reflect and think what works or doesn't work, it is always easier to just put everything in writing and browse through your notes when you need to.
Skip the gym
Doesn't sound like a good advice? Actually, it is.
Gym membership costs a ton of money. Instead of going to the gym, you can go to the park and spend time there doing exercises. You can also setup a home gym that doesn't cost you a lot of money.
Go for a jog or run every morning because that does not cost a penny. Dance for half an hour and burn around 130 calories! Skip a jumping rope and burn even hundreds or more calories. All of this does not need you to be in a gym.
All you need is motivation and a little bit of creativity. So if you want to lose weight on a budget, you can pick out exercise, which burns excessive fat without you having to do go to the gym or get charged with a gym membership.

I've sat on the fence for a while now; thinking about taking part in one of the Daily Post challenges. I've thought about it and decided against it, or left it too late, or whatever.

The Forgotten Men of the Point Reyes Life Saving Service
Stay caught up with the best of KQED's reporting each week by subscribing to the Q'ed Up podcast.
There was a shooting at YouTube, teachers are striking in Oklahoma and President Trump ordered National Guard troops to the border. But that's not all.
1. 'You have to go out, but you don't have to come back'
One of my colleagues, Carly Severn, has a knack for doing these stories about bizarre places she stumbles upon. This week, she takes us to the Life-Saving Station Cemetery in Point Reyes.
It's the final resting place for four members of the Life Saving Service, or what we know today as the Coast Guard. Their motto was, "You have to go out, but you don't have to come back."
Sponsored By
The four graves belong to four young immigrants who died out on the brutal seas of Point Reyes.
"I don't see this as a depressing story. It's definitely bittersweet to me," Carly tells me. "[The four men] traveled thousands of miles by water, worked in the water and then died for it as well, saving lives. And I just find that really poignant, but not depressing."
2. What happened before the YouTube shooting?
I wasn't working on Tuesday, so I missed a lot of the details of the woman who shot three people and then killed herself at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno. But KQED's Sam Harnett and Tonya Mosley were on it from the start, and Sam put together this really helpful timeline that explains what happened in the lead-up to the shooting.
3. Happy birthday, Jerry!
There must be something in the water that California politicians drink. Sen. Dianne Feinstein turns 85 this summer, just a few months before she hopes to be re-elected to another six-year term in the U.S. Senate. And Gov. Jerry Brown turned 80 on Saturday, extending his reign as the oldest governor in state history.
To celebrate, KQED's politics editor Scott Shafer went to a senior community in San Francisco to get some advice for Brown from his fellow seniors on how to enjoy old age. In the words of one octogenarian, "No matter how gooda shape you're in, once you're 80, you are one old 'motha.'"
4. How cars and highways have made and broken California
I've recently become obsessed with cars, highways and the way they've shaped our society. I have a lot of time to think about this during my daily one-hour commute each way, which will eventually add up to seven years of my life spent driving to and from work—let that sink in.
KPCC's commuting and mobility reporter Megan McCarty (yes, that's her real title) traces the origins of California's freeway system back to the mid-20th century and how it set the course for the world we live in today. The piece comes to a bit more of an optimistic conclusion than I think most of us have about traffic and congestion, but it's well worth a read.
5. Looking for a new human-sized hamster wheel?
I've never been a big garage sale guy, but I was definitely intrigued by the sale going on at the San Francisco Armory this weekend.
The fetish porn site Kink.com is having a four-day sale as it moves out of the Armory, where it once made more than 100 films a month. They stopped filming there last year and sold the building earlier this year, meaning it's time for a garage sale!
Sponsored By
Among the more unique items available for purchase are a giant hamster wheel, a torture rack and several old dentists chairs. But there's also a bunch of gym equipment, some nice rugs, handsome furniture and works of art.
As the company hosting the sale says on its website, "There is something for everyone at this sale."

Sometimes 'busy' can never accurately describe your life or mindset. Sometimes it gets to the point where you're two weeks into May and you literally can't remember the month starting...or indeed what the fuck happened to the end of April.
In between studying for her exams and rocking up at work like the good girl she isn't, J has turned groupies for the best sex she's ever had and been showing up at all their gigs. It's not really her style to chase guys but this guy is the hardest in hell to track down and will never chase because he's usually too drunk or drugged to even notice the time. J is now mates with his mates, including a Scottish dude in a kilt who is clearly in love with her and constantly texts her and attempts to hug her. Best sex she's ever had is still the best sex ever and they're still doing it in parks and alleys across town. This is despite his underage child bride girlfriend who thinks J is the sweetest girl ever and is going out with the Scottish guy. If only she knew...Yeah, apparently wannabe rockstars keep their girlfriends locked up at home so they can pick up groupies. Is J playing a dangerous game? Probably, but she always knows when it's time to take herself home. Usually after her drink has been spiked with MDMA.
M and E are talking again and are trying to resurrect their friendship. It's unclear if it's going to be successful but they don't want to throw away years of friendship over a few months of sex. E is now dating the blonde girl who was showing up in all his facebook photos. M doesn't really feel any gratification over the fact that her suspicions were right. M has been enjoying the single life by hooking up with random guys in bars, including some of A and L's uni friends and a guy J works with. She doesn't seem ready to embark on a full-on relationship...but that may be because she's still crushing on a guy from work.
Speaking of crushes...
A and L embarked on 3 weeks of law school competitions called moots (apparently it's some kind of mock trial thing...) and spent the entire time with basically no sleep and far too much coffee and stress. They were known to start screaming at people in the street and their friends and break our into hysterical laughter. They found themselves competing against the same team 3 times, including in the grand final, consisting of 2 very attractive and brilliant speaking guys and a cool girl they got blind drunk with after the final. A nearly got in a physical fight with one of the guys after she accused him of stealing her arguments, L flipped out at one of the judges who accused her voice of being too soft when the microphone had conked out just before she started speaking. And in the end, the two guys won. A and L were not pleased, though the other team was admittedly amazing on the night. Sometimes it's just not your time. The important thing was that there was copious drinks to be had afterward, resulting in trying to pay for a taxi with a public transport ticket. It makes it all worth it in the end. Even if they did get crushed.
