Chicago Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa says "playing hockey is not possible" for him during the NHL's upcoming 2017-2018 season.
"While I am disappointed that I will not be able to play, I have to consider the severity of my condition and how the treatments have impacted my life both on and off the ice," he said in a statement Wednesday, according to The Associated Press.
Hossa added that Chicago's medical staff has privately treated him over the last few years for a progressive skin condition he has long suffered from.
Brian Noonan, a host on WGN Radio in Chicago, wished Hossa good health in a Facebook post about the hockey player.
Former Blackhawks center Denis Savard on Wednesday told NBC Chicago he considers Hossa "one of the greatest players in the game."

Dr. Michael Terry on Wednesday said Hossa's skin disorder is "becoming more and more difficult to treat and control with conventional medications while he plays hockey."
SportsNet's Elliotte Friedman on Monday reported that sources told him Hossa may be done playing in the NHL.
Friedman's sources confirmed doctors are worried that the medication Hossa is taking for his disorder may have major side effects.
The Blackhawks have won three Stanley Cup championships with Hossa playing for their squad, with the 38-year-old player reportedly having four years left on his contract with the team.

One of the first things you will see in my house is this picture. Not sure the name...something about the pond. But I love the image of the pig smiling and jumping into the pond. The pig (in his little piggy mind) is flying. So it is possible! A lot of things are possible if we just try a little harder.
A lot of things seem impossible too, at least to me...like:
1)Folded laundry being put away buy any other person in this house. Apparently I am the only person who knows where it goes...after 30 years you'd think the idea of reversing the process, getting clean towel, using towel, putting in laundry would come to mind.
2) Cats not horking up a hairball on your freshly washed housecoat.
3) For dogs not to lick, hump, gag, or fart when company is here.
4) Forgetting to buy at least one ingredient in a new recipe
5) Not to get a zit, cold sore or bruise just before any family picture or interview.
6) To find a good hairstylist who doesn't want to be something else and will go to great lengths to tell you how horrible customers are while waving sharp scissors.
7) Not to get that mud streak on the back of your dress pants while getting out of the car.
8) For the phone not to ring as soon as my butt cheeks hit the bubbles in the bath
There are millions more and it is only making me crazy just thinking about them. Dropping toast will always fall butter side down for no apparent reason other than 'just cuz'...SO, if I have to live with the impossibilities of this life at least I can do it with my little piggy smile as I hurtle through space. weeeeeeeeeeee

The Edge
Time is different now that I've been on the water for a few years trying to make a living. The transitions between days, weather systems, and seasons are much different than before. I live within them and through them. Being on the water all the time makes for an endless summer in many respects, but the winters are harder. The summer lasts a long time because working keeps one warm and the bay is always beautiful. And then the winter months (January through March) are the tough ones when fingers hurt and there is much to do in short time – short because of day length and the frequency of poor weather or even worse, ice. Since working on the water I've felt that seasonal transitions occur in real time and I believe this is possible to experience only outside of an office, or sometimes referred to as the fattening pen. In real time there are no distinct margins of entry, there are no real thresholds, but I do notice change ever so subtly. Each day is different, yet often the same.
The oysters experience and behave differently. These things grow when the growing is good, get ready for sex, maybe have sex, then feed as much as possible until the temperatures decline to about 40 F when they go dormant and get covered up by silt. Their enemies (crabs and some snails) go away in winter too, so they just lie there and sleep. But they're not completely safe because guys like me head out there with frozen fingers and lift them out of their slumber, sort them out, wash them, and sell them.
Guys like me continually watch the oysters. We study them throughout the winter months and ask ourselves questions like: Are they pumping (feeding) yet? Any new growth noticeable? Are the crabs getting them? And so on. When brief glimpses of nice weather begin to appear in February, and when the bay is thawing out a bit, we tend to look for signs of spring. Maybe we'll see a few more hermit crabs, but nothing else really happens until March when maybe a flounder or an eel will show up. Slowly, then suddenly, the bay comes to life. In early April the crabs appear in numbers, the brown frown (brown algae) invades and becomes quite problematic, and some fish are visible. Also the gannets move in, as do the ospreys. Ducks start moving out. Fingers stop hurting (I think 40 F is the threshold). By late April (now) the whole thing is changing daily – more crabs, more birds, and more fish. Add in a catalyst, a couple of 90 degree days, and things start changing faster.
But the most fascinating thing about April, to me, is seeing that edge appear on the oyster. The edge begins in early April, very subtly, but it is recognizable; a few millimeters of new, white shell. Then within a few days it soars: a quarter of an inch almost overnight. Some oysters show it really well (see photos). This one particular oyster was a nice one but was too thin, or short, for the market last fall and was returned to the farm. I found it while wading yesterday morning on a good drainer. The new shell growth was phenomenal, not in its length, but in its shape and pattern.
I showed this oyster to Bill Bennett. He also marveled at it and said, while pointing out the length and curvature of the new growth, "That oyster is going to fill that whole void, that volume, in no time and keep growing out to a nice size!" But then we both looked at each other and realized that he was wrong. "No he isn't, he's going out on the truck," I returned. And we both laughed for a bit. We'd love to watch them grow like this all year, but at some point they grow so large that you can't sell them. As Skip often reminds me, "They don't make good pets." Or something like that.

Went to see this today, at Plump Gallery (240 Enmore Rd, Enmore) and spent a lovely hour or so drinking mint tea and chatting with Nicole and some other visitors. Get there between 3 and 4pm if you can:
Nicole Barakat
Live Work Installation
'14th –20th November 2011
Artist talk and closing event Sunday 20 November 3pm–6pm
External viewing/live work daily 9am–6pm
External viewing video works after dark.
Tea with the Artist+view of works in progress inside the gallery daily 3pm–4pm
Artist Nicole Barakat will spend a week in Plump Gallery making works from found paper in response to the seeds/threads that were sown/sewn during her residency in Bethlehem,Palestine in July–August 2010.
Plump Gallery will become a temporal studio space and transformed into a site for an experimental investigation into process and making within the limitations of time and space.
The audience is invited to view Barakat's process externally through the large street front windows as she produces her collection of Artworks.
Visitors are also invited to join the Artist between 3pm and 4pm daily for a cup of tea and viewing of the works in progress.The show will culminate in a closing event that will include an Artist talk and final viewing of all works produced during the week‐ long live work installation.
Hajara Waraka Miqass refers to the children's game 'rock, paper, scissors' something the artist often played with the children she resided with in Bethlehem. The phrase speaks of materials and processes, of literally making with paper and scissors. It is also refers strongly to Palestine, with the rock as a symbol of the steadfastness of the land and people, the rubble of destroyed homes and villages and stones as essential tools of resistance to the occupation.
Barakat's works will respond to the details she encountered during her time in Palestine; the finely couched embroideries from Aziza ‐ an 86 year‐old maker, the texture and vibrancy of a flowering fig from a northern village destroyed in 1948 and the living stories shared and witnessed…'

- Consumer Transactions: Here's How You're Protected
- August 11, 2017
Consumer protection laws exist to (among many other things) prevent the use of low-quality materials in products, stop unethical practices and ensure that consumers (nationwide) who are the victims of wrongful business practices can receive justice. Whenever you buy, lease or invest in something, regularly pay for a service, respond to advertisements, use utilities, credit cards, or participate in any other kind of consumer transaction or activity, chances are this activity is regulated to keep you protected. And New Jersey proudly boasts some of America's most stringent, consumer-oriented protection laws on the books; most of which can be found within our Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-1, et. seq.). Keeping consumers safe is both a Federal and Statewide priority, that's why the Courts are dedicated to enforcing these statutes in favor of consumers to the fullest extent, as permitted by law.
However, even though consumers are greatly protected by the government, we don't always get what we bargained for. Whether it's defective products, services or scams — transactions can go wrong. Making well-informed decisions about money is crucial, and you should always be saving receipts, advertisements, contracts, credit card slips and other documents relient on purchases — even those little everyday purchases. Should you ever find yourself involved in a consumer fraud claim or even a class action suit (a lawsuit in which a group of people have experienced the same or similar injuries from a product or service), these documents will come in handy. It often takes nothing more than a receipt for you to participate in a class recovery and receive compensation, big or small. In some cases, however, particularly if the amount involved from your end is significant in a class recovery, it may be more beneficial to opt out of the class, and have your attorney pursue your claim.Typically, class action suits involve large corporations or businesses with "deep pockets," which means the litigation process can be hefty — for both the consumer as well as the attorney pursuing the claim. Fortunately, our Federal and State consumer protection laws are designed to alleviate these circumstances. In fact, New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act states that any consumer who proves a violation to the Act and demonstrates an "ascertainable loss" (or a clear, measureable loss of some kind) because of that violation, is automatically entitled to recover compensation for triple that loss, plus the legal expenses involved (including attorney's fees). For specific instances, like the Motor Vehicle "Lemon" Law or the Kosher Food Statute, additional remedies are often provided to address the distinct loss.

Weird Mormon Zombie Baptisms
Mirror Room
Baptizing the Dead
Mormon's at the door? No problem
Stuffing Heaven's Ballot Box
The Mormon cult has a lots of strange beliefs - aliens, sexism, black people are the devils children, Jesus visited North America, appearing and disappearing golden tablets, tithing, polygamy and of course the Magic Underwear. But one of the strangest beliefs is probably the concept of posthumous baptisms.
It be fair all religions have a lot of weird customs - drinking blood, eating bodies, glorifying execution device, reciting mantras, celibacy, no birth control etc. But posthumous baptisms is probably one of the strangest concepts.
What is a posthumous baptism? Posthumous means "occurring or appearing after the death of the originator" so what we are talking about is baptizing dead people. In many religions the living can become baptized under their own will in ceremonies in which they accept the teaching of the church. But the Mormon's have come up with a totally new way to boost their numbers by baptizing the dead.
A few year's back when the Mormon Temple in Belmont Massachusetts was built they had a big open house. The public was invited to see the splendor of the temple and find out more about the church. I boarded a bus from Cambridge, along with other curious tourist as well as Mormons from all over the region. You see a Mormon Temple is not open to the public or even to regular church members like a regular church or cathedral. Normally a Mormon Temple is only open to church members of a certain standing (i.e. have given enough money to the Mother Church) and men. Women are only allowed during certain ceremonies such as weddings.
The temple has a changing area where one can change from street clothes into the white temple robes and a cafeteria for hungry pilgrims who may have traveled far to get to their regional temple. There is a two story hot tub sitting on the back of giant white ox statues for the living. For the dead there is a room with a cushioned circular couch in the center (all white of course) with floor to ceiling mirrors on two walls. The tour guide explained that you could see your reflection in the mirrors forever, which symbolizes your past and future generations.
This is the room that the posthumous baptisms are preformed for a fee of course. Since Mormonism is a relatively new religion and your deceased relatives might never have had the chance to embrace Mormonism, the idea is that in this ceremony you can ask long dead relatives if they want to accept Mormonism and I suppose then move on to heaven. Your relatives might not even have been born when Joseph Smith put down his seer stones and made up the Mormon religion, but in this ceremony they can have to opportunity to enjoy all of the benefits of being a Mormon post humorously.
But don't think that the dead don't have a choice. Our guide pointed out that the dead have the chance to accept or decline your gift of Mormonism. You will never know what their choice was but at least you gave them the chance to be a Mormon.
Weird right? Well it gets even weirder when you consider some uber Mormon fanatics have taken this concept even further by registering all sorts of people up for this post humorous baptism. The Simon Wiesenthal Center in LA , which has expressed outrage over the revelation that a Mormon decided to baptise the parents of Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal. This happened despite an agreement reached in 1995 which was designed to ban the practice of baptising Holocaust victims by proxy after it was discovered the names of hundreds of thousands of those who died had been entered into Mormon records.
This is like signing up dead people to your political party, doing anything to boost your numbers. The Catholic Church has also come out against this practice of baptizing its dead members. Of course any outrage by one church against the Mormon practice just legitimizes the concept. I mean, its a creepy, weird practice but it's really in the realm of identity theft and should be taken up in the courts rather than in religious wars. Basically if the Mormon church lists your dead relative as one of their members and they never were a member, its rewriting history, fraud or character defamation.

I'm sorry, but I just have to say that many of the things that you are saying are totally false. There is no fee to perform Baptisms in an LDS temple. I find that the way you are writing about this religion and it's people is not only highly offensive, but purposefully trying to garner hate towards them.
LOL, loved this hub, voted up and interesting. Hope you enjoy my hubs as well!
While not a Mormon I was raised a Christian in a Fundamentalist Christian household. One of the weirdest memories I have of my childhood was when my Father got me out of bed on a summer day supposedly to go swimming. When we got to the swimming hole however he explained what we were actually doing was being baptized on behalf of his dead Father and his dead brother (who I was named for, both of them died before I was born).
So he recited some scripture, we dipped ourselves in the water, and I guess that cleared his conscience about whether or not they went to Heaven.
So it's not just Mormons that do crazy stuff like this.

This offer only lasts for the week, however.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 has landed for Xbox One, PS4, and Windows PC.
Overall, this is an excellent novel, worthy of any fan's time.
While you witness the destruction of the second Death Star and some minor events during Return of the Jedi, this claim seems to be seriously overhyped.
But, I do can tell you about the precision of xbox 360 and DS3 controllers, wich are the ones I have: I want to clarify that all the percentages are estimative, but NOTABLES, you can test everything I say if you want.
Star wars battlefront 2 trailer
Both Star Citizen and Squadron 42 have been developed with fast storage in mind, which will likely make the game challenging to play on traditional HDDs.

Shop > Marijuana seeds > Buddha seeds > Buddha seeds deimos
Deimos from buddha seeds is an autoflowering strain of cannabis that is based on the classic nrothern lights. Like its genetic relative it really packs a strong punch and has a fairly low odour.
Deimos is a hybrid which origins are mostly indica (Northern Lights), a work of selection of 7 generations in order to obtain the features of a Classic in an auto flowering plant.Deimos is big sized plant, with good growht in width and high. The selection of the more branched specimens has prevailed; long lateral branches which yield buds as big as that of the central branch. This way productivity increases but the plant remains discreet in size, between 70 and 80 cm. Due to its nature Daimos becomes the perfect autoflowering plant for outdoor and Indoor.The power of Deimos turns more than one pale, its a devastating plant, its taste is classic sweet and tangy, a perfect plant to relax, introspection, go to the movies, medicinal use, or just to knock down that friend, whos an expert on the issue.

P. Radreau, J. D. Rhodes, P. R. Kroon, J. Sanderson; Quercetin Activates the HIF-1 Signalling Pathway in Human Lens Epithelial Cells. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2009;50(13):2084.
Download citation file:
© ARVO (1962-2015); The Authors (2016-present)
Purpose: :
A previous microarray study from our laboratory demonstrated that in lens epithelial cells treated with quercetin (10 µM), 65% of genes that showed significant increased expression (p≤0.01) were regulated by hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). We have, therefore, investigated the effect of quercetin on the HIF-1 signalling pathway in human lens epithelial cells.
Methods: :
FHL-124 cells were grown to 90% confluency and exposed to quercetin (10 or 30 µM). Protein and mRNA levels were analyzed by Western blot and qRT-PCR respectively. Immunocytochemistry experiments were carried out for visualisation of HIF-1. VEGF was measured in cell medium using ELISA.
Results: :
Quercetin (30 µM) induced an increase in HIF-1 protein levels after 4 and 24 hr, with a greater than 50-fold increase compared to untreated cells at 4 hr. At 10 µM quercetin, increases were seen after 24 hr. Visualisation of HIF-1 within the cell showed that quercetin caused its translocation to the nucleus and this persisted for at least 24 hr. To confirm the activation of HIF-1 signalling pathway by quercetin, we looked at the expression of four HIF-1 regulated genes: EPO, VEGF, PGK1 and BNIP3. mRNA levels of all four genes were significantly up-regulated after 24 and/or 48 hr quercetin treatment (10 µM). In addition, analysis of medium showed that quercetin induced an increase in secretion of VEGF from FHL-124 cells. For both quercetin concentrations (10 and 30 µM) and at all time points studied (24, 48 and 72 hr), there was a significant and dose-dependent increase of VEGF secretion in quercetin-treated compared to untreated cell media. The quercetin-induced accumulation and nuclear translocation of HIF-1 was reversed by addition of excess iron (100 µM).
Conclusions: :
Quercetin activates the HIF-1 signalling pathway in human lens epithelial cells, leading to increased expression of the downstream genes. This may be mediated by chelation of intracellular iron by quercetin which would inhibit the Fe2+-dependent prolyl hydroxylase which in turn would stabilize HIF-1. Activation of the HIF-1 pathway may play a role in cytoprotection by quercetin.

NHL 2009 ALL-STAR JAMBOREE video of the first day
by, 01-23-2009 at 01:59 AM (403 Views)
Just cam back today from the card show and NHL All-Star Jamboree. Made 3 video and here is the first one that cover the card show and signing tent. In the card show, if you bought a box of 2008-09 Upper Deck (except Victory) you would get ten card made fromn the All-Star game. (All are current player and the last one is Jean Beliveau with the Centenial logo on it). You needed to open all the pack at the Upper Deck boot in order to get all 10 cards. I will post a video of my pickup and the hits of my Black Diamond box in the box break forum.
At the end we enter the signature tent where four more trophey are displayed. The player signing was Stephane Matteau. I had some O-Pee-Chee card from his second year in the Calgary Jersey number 23. He also signed as a Ranger where he got a cup and with number 32 this time.
Here is part 1 with mainly the card show and the signature tent that has 4 NHL trophy.
Now Part II is mainly in the big tent where all other trophy and activities are.
In order to get the special UD ALl-Star set you had to buy a box so I got myself a Black Diamond. Here are all the highlight and some show pick up alond with the UD set.

Cain and Abel. Two Brothers. Two everyday people. One Farmer and One Shepard. One murder.
There's a story there. Yeah, you might say the Bible's full of them (stories that is), but when you really get down to the nitty gritty of the Bible, it's kinda like a family history book. And a lot of people I know don't like reading family history books.
I bet if you told your kid that there's a story dripping with murder and intrigue he might get interested. On the other hand, if you told your kid it's just the story of everyday people he'd probably couldn't care less.
So, what's the point? To get your kid to read the Bible? No. But please, bear with me a moment.
I read and write fantasy as well as other genres of literature and I've found two rules apply best.
1) If you spice your fantasy elements with what is real or true, you will write a more engaging story. Case closed.
2) What is real is more fantastic than people might ever guess.
I'm not here to debate or give credence to those rules. We can do that another time. Neither am I here to tell you that the story of Cain and Abel is real, although it definitely follows those two rules I listed above.
I am here to tell you that as a writer I follow these rules. I live and breathe these guidelines. So much so that I've started doing my family history (geneaology) just for story ideas. And believe me, it is fascinating stuff, very fascinating stuff.
What I'm finding are everyday people with everyday problems placed in fantastic situations. These situations are filled with action, adventure, intrigue, mystery, suspense, romance, love, betrayal and everything anyone could want in an engaging story.
So yes, the point is a plug for family history, geneaology, and even keeping a journal of what happens to you, because, man, life can be frightening, fantastic, awful, and marvelous. Live it and don't be afraid to lift real life stories to place in your writing if you need to.
All of my posts somehow talk about writing, dancing, or music. Everyone of them, regardless of topic, is named after a song. Go out and listen to any of the hundreds of songs inspired by the story of Cain and Abel. Today I am listening to the Marsalis Family version.

I hate reviewing sequels since so many of them are just retreads of whatever came before it. Mercifully, there's just enough difference between The Dark World and its predecessor that sitting through this one wasn't a Thor. Er, a chore. Sorry.
After the destruction of the Bifrost Bridge in the first film, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is now gallivanting around the Nine Realms, tamping down insurrections and fending off attacks from aggressors. In the process he's been forced to leave behind hottie mortal astrophysicist Jane Foster, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Natalie Portman.
But Jane isn't just sitting around in her jammies eating Häagen-Dazs and watching The Princess Bride over and over again. Along with her saucy intern Darcy (Kat Dennings) and Darcy's slavish intern (!) Ian (Jonathan Howard), Jane tries to track down the source of some odd energy readings in London. Their search leads them to a warehouse where the laws of physics are going, in scientific parlance, completely batshit nuts. During their investigation, Jane is pulled into the titular Dark World and gets possessed by a blob of malevolent matter.
The goo turns out to be the Aether, an all-powerful source of energy that a Dark Elf warlord named Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) once used in an insane bid to end existence. After he was defeated and sent into exile by Odin's dad Bor (Tony Curran), the Aether was sealed away for safekeeping. Upon its release, Malekith returns and attacks Asgard where Thor has taken Jane to convalesce. The Dark Elf is temporarily thwarted but Thor is forced to ally with his duplicitous brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in order to draw the villain out into the open before he can rend the universe asunder.
In many ways, The Dark World is an improvement on the first film. First off, it looks a helluva lot better. The special effects are sharper and it appears as if more practical sets were used, which really helps to sell Asgard as a real location. Of particular note is the relatively-quiet scene in which Thor and his co-conspirators hash out the details of their rebellion in a simple pub setting. It's a refreshing oasis of tranquility amidst all the digital and audio bombast.
The actions scenes are also a lot more dynamic. From the opening scrap which sees Thor squaring off against a marauding troll to our hero's flight from Asgard aboard a high-speed airship to the final Ragnarok-ian battle against Malekith, the movie has a frenetic pace and visual verve that was lacking in its forebearer. By their very definition, high concept fantasy films like Thor: The Dark World are practically built on elaborate visual effects so it really helps to have a director who can stage some energetic virtual set-pieces.
Even though Taylor does a decent job immersing his actors in their computer-generated environs, the film still feels pretty "video gamey" at times. The prologue, featuring an epic battle between the Dark Elves and the forces of Bor, resembles a cut-scene from Diablo III. Equally hokey is the moment in which Thor and Loki bail out of their airship and land gracefully atop a seemingly-immovable water skiff. And although the climactic battle in Greenwich looks great, things quickly degenerate into a riot of unrestrained green-screenery just as soon as the combatants start flying from one realm to another.
But honestly, what else can you do with these god-like characters? You can't relegate the Asgardian God of Thunder to simple fisticuffs because it would end up looking irredeemably cheesy. The fights need to be appropriately epic and comic-booky, and in order to do that, heavy-duty special effects are required. Even though I understand the rationale behind this perfectly, I also recognize that I'll never by fully invested in what's happening on screen because it's so all friggin' over-the top and abstract.
Another thing that keeps ejecting me from Thor's world is the schizophrenic blend of fantasy and sci-fi which makes the whole thing feel like a high-rent version of Masters of the Universe. I've never been particularly keen on mash-ups since two awesome concepts are perfectly fine by themselves without awkwardly boiler-plating one on the the other. I know, I know...the comics did this too, which kind of explains why I didn't like those very much either. I like my fantasy low and gritty and my sci-fi...slightly less low and gritty.
The screenplay, as penned by Christopher Yost, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, mainly functions as an edifice to hand action scenes on. And although it does give many of the supporting characters a lot more to do, the script is also chock-a-block with some far-fetched co-incidence. For example, the one person on earth who just so happens to get possessed by the Aether is Thor's main squeeze. Sorry, but the odds of this happening are far more remote than getting struck by a terrestrial bolt of lightning.
Speaking of the Aether, we're given precious little information about it and the whole thing ends up feeling very, very MacGuffin-y. Also, in order to facilitate yet another act of rebellion by Thor, Odin inexplicably decides to turtle instead of taking the fight directly to Malekith. Now, I know that the All-Father isn't nearly as impetuous and hot-headed as his offspring but I'm pretty sure the dude still has his balls. His pacifism is particularly inexplicable in light of what's happened up to that point.
The enthusiastic cast is certainly game and collectively they elevate this B-grade material. As Thor, Helmsworth doesn't have a juicy arc like he did in the first film but he is required to exhibit a spectrum of emotions as his marginal support system gets whittled down. He's still fantastic, embodying the role in a way I never thought possible; I just wish they'd give him something more interesting to do. Indeed, the only problem that Thor can't hammer into oblivion is the threat of being appointed King, a responsibility that he's justifiably allergic to.
Thanks to those previously-mentioned script conveniences, Natalie Portman gets a bit more screen time here. Honestly, it's probably a good thing that she plays host to the Aether, otherwise her only other function would be to spout the occasional burst of pseudo-scientific exposition. Even though she does get to punch Loki square in the mush and bandy semantics with an Asgardian healer (played by former Borg Queen Alice Krige), essentially her main function is to act as "MacGuffin courier". Her role in the film makes me think about that old writer's adage: if you're struggling to find things for a character to do, then the best thing that character can do is go away.
As to be expected Tom Hiddleston runs rings around his peers. Let's face it, compared to ol' Goldilocks, Loki's a much more interesting character. Since he swaps allegiances more frequently then the average Asgardian changes pantaloons, we're always kept guessing as to where his loyalties truly lie. He sells a mid-point fracas with his big bro so effectively that even when the scene dials down it's still tough to gauge his motivations. Whether he's getting up in Odin's grill, stringing along his moms, or tempting Thor in an awesome cameo-riffic disguise, it's pretty clear that Tom really relishes this role.
Anthony Hopkins could easily have phoned in his performance as Odin, but he's consistently surprising here. He manages to deliver the most innocuous and utilitarian lines of dialogue with nuance and style, even eliciting involuntary verbal reactions from me on occasion. His scenes with Hemsworth are particularly good, namely the relatively-tranquil balcony scene which contrasts nicely with the genuine ire he exhibits when Thor goes rogue.
Of all the principal actors, Christopher Eccleston gets a pretty crappy deal as Malekith. Just like every other blockbuster movie villain lately, his motivations are downright sketchy and his endgame is idiotic at best. In interviews, Eccleston has hinted at an originally-scripted back-story in which Malekith lost his entire family in some undisclosed tragedy, but this isn't depicted on screen nor is it even mentioned. Perish forbid you slow down the movie's breakneck pace for a second and try to make your villain something more interesting then a stern-talking punching bag.
As a result, his hellbent motivation to end the universe makes no sense whatsoever. Then there's the large band of suicidal misfits Malekith has managed to gather together, all of whom are seemingly perfectly content to march unquestionably to their doom on a whim. Despite being rendered virtually unrecognizable underneath a mountain of Nosferatu-style make-up, Eccleston does his best with the flyweight material. Indeed, his presence is commanding and his deliveries are all appropriately menacing.
The supporting characters are all great. Stellan Skarsgaard is gloriously frenetic and chronically under-dressed as resident eccentric scientist Dr. Erik Selvig. After his close encounter with Loki in The Avengers, Skarsgaard gets a chance to be extra-loopy here. Idris Elba, criminally underused as Bifrost Gate guardian Heimdal in the first film, gets a few more on-screen duties. Whether he's alerting Thor to Jane's disappearance, single-handedly destroying an enemy airship or getting confrontational with Odin, he commands attention via a wellspring of understated calm.
Cat Dennings is great as Darcy, providing some much-needed comedy relief and acting as a cute foil for all the Wagnerian seriousness. Some viewers might find her annoying but I say fuck 'em, I like her. Rene Russo's brief screen time also makes me lament her near-absence from films lately. She's got talent, Hollywood, give her some more jobs already! The brief moment she shares with Loki is one of the most emotionally-genuine scenes in either of the two films.
Finally, Thor's returning band of knock-abouts are really fun to watch. Ray Stevenson is boisterous and brave as uber-viking Volstagg, Tadanobu Asano is coolly-measured as Hogun and original pick for Fandral, Zachary Levi, segues nicely into the role, replacing Joshua Dallas from the first film. Indeed, he strikes the perfect balance between swashbuckler, dandy and ultra-pimp ladies man. And even though Jaimie Alexander does get a chance to shoot some eye-daggers at Jane as Sif, this simmering source of conflict never goes anywhere beyond grade-school histrionics.
There isn't anything glaringly wrong with Thor: The Dark World, but there isn't anything earth-shattering about it either. It is what it is: a sequel that's slightly less clunky and a bit more fun then its predecessor.
Bottom line, it's a decent little time-waster that'll kill a few hours as you wait for the new Captain America and / or Avengers movie.
Tilt: up.

Octaman is a 1971 monster film directed by Harry Essex, who had written "Creature From The Black Lagoon","It Came from Outer Space" and "The Sons of Katie Elder" plus other classic science fiction movies. It follows an expedition team that becomes the target of a murderous humanoid octopus. The film has gathered a cult following. It is also known that this is the first film where special effects master Rick Baker did the effects for.
Octaman (1971)
Octaman is a genetically mutated Octopus that gradually transformed into a humanoid Octopus due to an unknown exposure to the nuclear radiations in the local waters in Mexico. Octaman is a green skinned seven foot tall humanoid Octopus with large orange eyes and eight regular Octopus tentacles. The two upper front tentacles are used as fore-limbs, the two lower front tentacles are used as hind limbs to walk, where as the rest of the tentacles are at the back.
A scientific expedition to a remote Mexican fishing community, led by Dr. Rick Torres and Susan Lowry discovers unhealthy amounts of radiation in the local waters. They find a small mutant octopus that can crawl on land, so to receive further funding for their project, Torres travels back to the States to make a deal with a circus owner, who is interested in the bizarre mutation as a carny act. They return to the camp to discover that their crew has been slaughtered and the octopus specimen is missing. A young man from the village says that a local legend about a creature said to be half man and half sea serpent is true, and offers to take the scientists to the lake where it is purported to live. There, a seven foot tall bloodthirsty humanoid octopus with amazing strength and a lust for killing is discovered, but it escapes. At night, the octopus-man arrives and the crew attempts to trap it in a ring of fire. By the next day, the octopus-man is still alive and has killed several people, so the survivors encounter the octopus-man and shoot it to death.
The film met with negative reception. It has a rating of 3.4/10 on IMDb. Despite this, the film has obtained a cult following over the years. Octaman was released on the VHS format by the European Video Corporation. A 40th anniversary widescreen DVD edition was released in 2012 by BayView Entertainment. A clip from Octaman was briefly shown in the 1990 film Gremlins 2: The New Batch, though said to be called "The Attack of the Octopus People". Final film of Pier Angeli. She died of a drug overdose during shooting.

Thanks heaps Steph! Fingers crossed it's helpful for the kids :)Delete
Wow, this turned out great after your impressive set up - nice work! What a fantastic resource you have set up for your learners! Will be keen to hear how they react to this - could it be something similar that they create themselves to help them learn the concepts/vocabulary?ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm hoping exactly that! Just trying to get my head around the logistics considering we would have 45 minutes. Thanks Heath :)Delete
This is a super example of a rewindable DLO Georgia. I know that your learners will be hugely supported by this. While there may be other animations on the web that teach similar things, nothing is as engaging as hearing your OWN teacher's voice - or someone else who you know eg a peer.ReplyDelete
Thanks Dorothy! I'm hoping we can have time in class for the students to create their own resources for revision, which can be shared with their peers.Delete

I Got Ethereum Review: Wealth with Legs! – The Affluence Network
Thank you so much for coming to us in looking for "I Got Ethereum Review" online. This mining action validates and records the trades across the whole network. So if you're trying to do something illegal, it's not a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see forever. Since among the earliest forms of making money is in money financing, it really is a fact which you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites currently focus on Bitcoin, several of those sites you happen to be needed fill in a captcha after a specific time period and are rewarded with a bit of coins for visiting them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with an acceptable investment strategy. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which implies the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the amount of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all present bitcoins. This situation is not to suggest that markets are not vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there is no requirement for big sums of money to move market prices up or down. The smallest events on the planet economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they get involved in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain always leaves public proof a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
I Got Ethereum Review – Financial Security for The Rest of Us – The Affluence Network
In the event of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could perhaps be traded like a commodity. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say that this form of personal money is not governed by way of a central banking system and is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted variety of products, this coin's value is founded on market forces, letting owners to trade over cryptocurrency deals. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers assert that there is "actual" value, even through there is no physical representation of that value. The value climbs due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that's worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some type of wages in order to ensure the shortage. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It's also possible that the regulators just do not understand the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the protocol in which it's transacted. All transactions on the crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. Once youare paid, you get paid. This is not something short-term where your web visitors can dispute or need a discounts, or employ illegal sleight of palm. In practice, most traders would be a good idea to make use of a fee processor, because of the irreversible nature of crypto-currency dealings, you have to make sure that protection is tough. With any kind of crypto-currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially gain access to your personal recommendations and therefore grab your cash. However, you probably can never have it back. It is very important for you to undertake some excellent secure and safe methods when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing this can guard you from most of these adverse events. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher potential for solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, based on the number of "shares" won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting that the software configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This option also creates a secure stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the wages. When searching forI Got Ethereum Review, there are many things to think about.
I Got Ethereum Review: The Coin Without Boundary: The Affluence Network
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about I Got Ethereum Review. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that offer long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the appropriate area at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these businesses decide how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these problems are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current inherent problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to understand how the process works in and of itself, but it's simply important to understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can just choose to print endless numbers (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. You have probably heard this many times where you often distribute the great word about crypto. "It is not erratic? What goes on if the price accidents? " to date, several POS systems provides free conversion of fiat, improving some problem, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, a lot of people will undoubtedly be unwilling to carry any. We need to discover a way to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that may lead to company being unable to continue to operate or to stop operation.

It should be hard to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having small increases is more profitable than attempting to resist up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to have a look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there is more volatility and reward in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.

I suppose some might say all the media focus on Caitlyn Jenner is good for transgender people, though I have heard some grumblings from trans people that it is actually serving to fuel transphobia. They point to reader comment sections of news articles about Jenner, and the hundreds of transphobic comments appearing there.
But make no mistake about it: the media are cashing in big time on the Caitlyn Jenner story, looking to get her name in headlines at every opportunity no matter whether her actions are newsworthy or not.
Consider the headlines over nine articles about the murder last week of Kenton Haggard in Fresno, California, believed to be a transgender woman. One headline, over The Guardian article, says "Transgender murder in California leaves community fearful and angry." Another headline, over a Washington Post article, asks "Was the victim in brutal Fresno killing a transgender woman?"
The other seven articles — some in reputable mainstream publications — all take the Caitlyn Jenner approach, mentioning how she "mourns the murders" of Kenton and another woman in Florida, India Clarke, a couple of days earlier. And how she "pays tribute to them" in her blog. And how she "shares a heartfelt message" about them . . . and yadda yadda yadda.
I'm not blaming Caitlyn for the way the media are playing this story. Caitlyn has done what many other trans people are doing: expressed her horror and sadness in her blog over yet more violent crimes against transgender people. But the aforementioned seven media outlets should be ashamed for capitalizing on Caitlyn Jenner's name in this case.
The trans community is more than Caitlyn Jenner, and as The Guardian points out, trans people in Fresno are on "high alert" now. The killer hasn't been caught, and the case has yet to be called a hate crime. Many trans people are afraid to venture out of their homes at night.
That's the real story here, along with the fact two families are mourning the deaths of two people.

On the Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Kings and Buffalo Sabres …
Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News: Wonder if the Toronto Maple Leafs will take a run at Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk.
The Los Angeles Kings are scouting almost every Buffalo Sabres game lately, and the Sabres have had a scout at almost every Kings game lately. The Kings could use a scorer like Evander Kane.
On the Pittsburgh Penguins …
Jonathan Bombulie of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review: Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury hasn't played since January 14th. Matt Murray has started the Penguins past six games. GM Jim Rutherford will have to decide on their goaltending situation before the expansion draft in June, or possibly before the trade deadline.
"I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know if anything will happen," Fleury said. "I'll just try to enjoy my days here and be ready when I have a chance to play. There's still a lot of hockey to play before that deadline. I guess we'll see."
Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: (chat) With Matt Murray taking over the starting position and their goalie of the future, the Penguins will do whatever they can to not lose him in the expansion draft. Marc-Andre Fleury has a limited no-trade clause. There has been no indication that the Penguins are shopping Fleury. Molinari thinks there are enough teams that could use an upgrade in net and that there should be a market for him.
On the AHL …
Tony Androckitis: AHL President and CEO of the AHL David Andrews: The AHL hasn't received any expansion applications, but doesn't rule out having 31 teams next season.
Tony Androckitis: Andrews: Reports of a team in Kansas City are not accurate and they are "not in play."
Tony Androckitis: Andrews: There haven't been any discussions about moving Bridgeport to the Nassau Colisuem.
Tony Androckitis: Andrews: There haven't been any discussions with the Vancouver Canucks about moving their AHL out of Utica.

Posted March 15, 2005 by publisher in Cuba-US Trade
Email this article | Print this article | Search Havana Journal Tweet
Orlando Sentinel | By Paolo Spadoni | Special to the Sentinel
The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control has just announced new trade guidelines that reinterpret payment procedures for U.S. food exports to Cuba. In October 2000, the U.S. Congress authorized cash-only sales of American food items to the island under the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act. Since shipments to Havana began in December 2001, American firms have sold more than $790 million worth of wheat, poultry, corn, rice and soybean products to Cuba, making it the 25th-largest agricultural market for the United States.
Now, after more than three years of lucrative sales, the Office of Foreign Assets Control has decided that Cuba must make cash payments before the goods leave the United States rather than before they arrive at Havana's port.
More restrictive payment procedures, which raise costs and create severe logistical problems, mainly aim to disrupt commercial practices that are increasingly at odds with the Bush administration's attempt to squeeze economically the communist island. Forced to spend more of its scarce foreign exchange and fearing possible confiscations of its shipments, still in U.S. ports after payments have been made, the Castro government has warned that it could halt purchases of U.S. food.
The new export rules, therefore, have implications well beyond the mere interpretation of cash payments. By jeopardizing U.S. food sales to Cuba, the Office of Foreign Assets Control's unilateral action clearly defies the will of Congress and sparks a rift between the White House and Capitol Hill on the general direction of U.S. policy toward Havana. The passage of the trade bill in 2000 represented a change of strategic beliefs and policy preferences with respect to Cuba. Many Republicans and Democrats in Congress began to realize that incremental sanctions, imposed with the Torricelli law of 1992 and the Helms-Burton law of 1996, had done little to undermine the Castro government while hurting U.S. companies in terms of forfeited business with the island. They successfully pushed for a relaxation of trade restrictions that would benefit U.S. producers and enhance American influence on Cuba.
Just to cite a few emblematic examples, U.S. Sens. Max Baucus, D-Mont., Pat Roberts, R-Kan., Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who had previously supported a strengthening of sanctions against Havana, have become leading advocates in Congress for the removal of trade and travel restrictions on Cuba. Baucus and Roberts, who had voted for Helms-Burton, now argue that the Cuban embargo is a "hopelessly ineffective tool" and that agricultural exports to the island "help U.S. farmers, feed hungry people and spread the seeds of democracy."
Dorgan and Specter's rethinking of U.S. policy toward Cuba is even more evident. In 1992, then-U.S. Rep. Dorgan was one of the co-sponsors of the Torricelli bill, and he also voted for Helms-Burton four years later. In September 2001, after successfully leading the effort in Congress to lift the ban on U.S. food sales to Cuba, he declared: "We are really shooting ourselves in the foot with a continued embargo that does not work and, in a bizarre way, actually helps Fidel Castro keep his hold on power. . . . Using food and medicine as a weapon is, in my view, entirely immoral."
Similarly, in June 1995, Arlen Specter commended the authors of Helms-Burton for introducing it and noted that it was very important "to put the maximum pressure on Fidel Castro, the dictator of Cuba, to try to achieve his ouster at the earliest possible time." More recently, however, Specter has made abundantly clear that the United States should not wait for a change of power in Cuba to cultivate exchanges that can benefit both countries.
In short, it is likely that the Office of Foreign Assets Control's new rules on cash payments for U.S. food exports to Cuba will galvanize anti-embargo forces in Congress. Facing a potential drop of multimillion-dollar sales, a bipartisan group of 22 U.S. senators (including Baucus, Roberts and Dorgan) has already introduced a new legislation that would ease trade restrictions with Cuba by defining cash in advance as payment before delivery, allowing direct transactions between Cuban and U.S. banks, and facilitating U.S. travel to the island for business purposes.
As the greatest leverage to seek a relaxation of sanctions lies in the hands of worried but delighted Cuban officials who are threatening to choke off purchases worth almost $400 million a year, the Bush administration's latest attempt to increase economic pressure on Cuba could easily backfire in Congress.

Summer Camp
Our properties host camping and outdoor activities, which remain a favorite for girls at every age, as they have been throughout Girl Scout history. In the summer, we offer the opportunity to attend one of our resident or sail away camps. Throughout the year, troops can conquer our zip lines and water craft activities, camp in lodges and tents, learn outdoor and survival skills, and discover nature.
The Camp Discount is only for GSSA Girl Scouts who have participated in the 2017-18 Cookie Program. We make this distinction because the Cookie Program helps support and maintain our camp properties.
Based on the number of packages of cookies sold, the Camp Discount will be awarded for one camp session:
50 pkgs = $25 Camp Discount for one session
100 pkgs = $50 Camp Discount for one session
150 pkgs = $75 Camp Discount for one session
200 pkgs = $100 Camp Discount for one session
Girls who have sold 200 pkgs may receive an additional $50 Camp Discount for another session.
Select the Camp Discount coupon when registering online, indicate the number of packages your daughter sold (50 pkgs, 100 pkgs, 150 pkgs or 200+ pkgs) and the appropriate amount of discount will be applied.
If you plan to use Program Credits to pay for camp, contact the shop to have them run the card for the amount you choose to use. The receipt will be forwarded, and amount will be credited by the Camp Director.
Research shows that children who receive healthy mental stimulation over the summer retain a significant amount of what they learn during the school year. Summer camp encourages children to try new things, feel good about themselves and experience activities that they would not normally be offered, such as sailing, creative arts, horseback riding, zip lining, and many other water craft activities. Campers will have a rewarding experience no matter which session they choose. Prior membership in Girl Scouting is not required. Resident camps are held at Kamp Kiwanis and Scoutshire Woods.
Year-Round Outdoor Program
We offer fun, hands-on learning—an enrichment experience that meets girls' needs. Girl Scouts has innovative program activities, events and camps for girls of all interests. We offer year-round opportunities to try new things and challenge yourself in a camp setting. You'll do more than enjoy camp activities; you'll join a caring community. Girls learn skills to resolve conflict, accept differences, get along with others, and work together to achieve a shared goal. The atmosphere of acceptance and sharing at camp is special, and it helps girls thrive. We invite you to join us for one or more of our year-round camp programs.

I take a break every summer just before my birthday. My break typically starts in the middle of June and lasts through July 18, one day after I turn another year older.
So, as I've done every year for the last five years, I retreated to my childhood home in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin in June. It's a place I'm able to hide out.
While walking through the local grocery store one day I realized I was hoping nobody would notice me. I didn't want to be seen. In public. I wanted to get in, get out and get home without having to talk about life.
While I was on my break, I realized that hiding out was a life-long theme of mine. I hide out a lot. I hide behind my career. I hide behind my schedule. And as it turns out, I hide out on vacation.
So, while standing in the produce section, I made the decision to dig in deeper than I ever have before to really reflect on why I hide out.
Here's what I discovered…
I was hiding out to either avoid being hurt or recover from being hurt.
Here's something else I discovered…
Who could ever really see me if I was hiding out most of the time?
Don't get me wrong…I've done a ton with my life. And, I think I've done a badass job with my life.
In my 20s, I wanted to be someone who walked and talked authentically. I spent an entire decade looking for things that made me happy. I learned a ton about myself in the process.
When I hit 30, I wanted to be someone who changed the world. Even if it was just a little slice of the world, I wanted to do something to make it better. So, I launched a non-profit and I set sail on the biggest and most challenging business adventure ever. In fact, I was so overwhelmed with changing the world that I lost myself in my quest to make this place better.
When I hit 35, I had to find my way back to my happy place. I had to recover from burnout. Which I did. I've been happy these last two years. And apparently, I was hiding out. AND I was totally comfortable hiding out from living a full life rich in love and deep relationships.
I'm over hiding out.
I'm over hiding behind my schedule.
I'm over hiding behind my career.
I'm over hiding out from new opportunities, new friends, new partnerships and HIM...whoever he happens to be.
So here I am. Not hiding.
I turn 37 this week. And I'm just ending my summer break. It's been an intense break for me. I've played and I've rested. But I've done the reflective work necessary to change. I've addressed old pains I never let go of. I stopped comparing my life to my friends. I accepted my journey a bit more.
Doing the work to be a stronger woman hasn't been easy. And I think standing on my path, without a wall to hide behind, has made me stronger. And even more feminine.
My 37th birthday wish is to face each day with my whole heart. My 37th birthday wish is to live without barriers between me and the life of my dreams. My 37th birthday wish is to be beautiful and badass.
So I'm going to. All of it.

This is not my first attempt at blogging. In the past, I have had two or three blogs that I have started and eventually abandoned. Why? Well, I think the problem is that I was putting too much pressure on myself. Have you ever sat and tried to force yourself to write, only to have nothing come out? That seemed to be me every time I attempted to blog.
But this blog, well, I hope it will be different. In this blog I am going to write about the every day things I do in my home with my family. From crafts to recipes! Pinterest has opened up an entire world of crafting and cooking opportunities for me. I've always been a crafty person (in a good way!) and I enjoy cooking and baking for the people in my life; but, Pinterest has shown me so many more things than I could ever have imagined on my own! A lot of times I will find something on the site and make it in my home and then wish I had a way to share with other people how well (or not so well) it turned out. And that's how this blog came to be.
Hopefully you enjoy reading and maybe you will find something on here that you want to create yourself!
