Hi Flutterby peeps!
Today I am sharing my layout "Sunshine Vibes", using the awesome Good Vibes Only collection.
These are a series of photos of myself and my youngest son enjoying the sunshine in the park.
I used a piece of 'The Straight & Narrow' 12x12 paper as my base and scraped on some Flutter Colour
paint in 'Sunshine Yellow'. Once it was dry I squirted on some 'Tropicana Teal' Flutter Colour paint around in a rough circle.
I matted my photos and my title with some 'Good Vibes Only' Everyday Etc Filler cards.
I added some quotes and a pineapple sticker from the Sticky Quotes sheet.
I added the 'Sunshine' die cut on foam tape for my title, and added the 'VIBES' acrylic letters.
I also added some flowers and small pineapple from the Die Cut Bits And Bobs pack, as well as a flair button.
I've used the following from the Good Vibes Only collection-
Thanks for looking

Seven o'clock. What's that? Night Owl if I know my iPhone alarms. But it hasn't got a hope.
I can hear the alarm downstairs. It's going off right next to Ben's bed. But with exams starting next week there's only one way to wake a teenager – a serious shaking. And you learn to live with the inevitable abuse…
I rap smartly on his door. Wait the obligatory ten seconds – when he's awake, just long enough to guarantee his laptop screen is showing school work – and walk in. I immediately trip over a shoe. Then I stand on a text book.
Yes, yes, I know these are trivialities compared to having younger children. How did the Spanish Inquisition miss standing on Lego in your bare feet? But they don't make for a dignified entrance.
"Time to wake up," I say.
"As you've just tripped over everything in my bedroom I am awake."
Six years ago – sorry, Tom – this remark would have sent me into 'full rant' mode.
Damn it, Tom, I nearly broke my ankle. Why do you need to store your clothes on the floor? What do you think that chest of drawers is for? And don't forget your first exam is in three days. I don't want to come up here and find you playing 'Halo.'
But I did go up there and find Tom playing 'Halo.' By that time he had split screens in his bedroom: alien carnage on one of them, Physics equations on the other. And his underpants all over the bedroom floor.
Back in 2010 teenagers and exam revision were a foreign country. And I didn't have a map. So I'd go downstairs and turn the dial back to 'rant.'
He's up there playing 'Halo.' He's got 'Halo' on one screen and revision on the other. How can that possibly work? He won't listen to us any more. He's an intelligent boy but this is all wrong. He simply cannot work like that…
But he could. The string of A*'s duly arrived three months later. And I learned one of the most valuable lessons a parent can learn. If it works, leave them to it.
If your child says 'it works for me, Dad,' they're almost certainly right. If they say they can only revise with house music reverberating through their eardrums or aliens lying dead at their feet, trust them. Because by the time they're 16 or 17 all you can do is get it wrong. You can be there, you can offer to help, you can make sandwiches. But you can't make them revise. You have to trust them, and to do anything else is simply to make yourself miserable.
So much for the theory.
Yet again, I'm struggling with the practical.
"How's your revision going, Ben?"
He shrugs. "Fine."
"Anything Mum or I can do to help?"
"No." And he pours another bowl of Cheerios and disappears back to his bedroom.
How was Tom's revision going? Yes there were aliens – but there were equations as well. Jessica? She had a timetable taped to her wall and she regularly came downstairs to give us an update – mostly concerning the plans to burn her Chemistry books after the exam. (And a jolly fine blaze it was too…)
But Ben? I have no idea. He's organised, he's focused, he knows what he needs to do. But other than 'fine' you'd get more information from Vladimir Putin.
So I sit downstairs, try to calm my exam nerves and realise that even after 22 years this parenting lark doesn't get any easier.
And I've one more question that demands an answer. What exactly is house music…
If you'd like to be kept up to date on the progress of our Pennine Way expedition I'm going to start a separate blog for it in the next few weeks. In the interim, there are updates on my Facebook page.
Thanks for reading this post. If you enjoyed it – and you'd like something light and "very, very funny" to read – you can buy the 'Best Dad I Can Be' sample book with 27 of my favourite posts covering all the years I've been writing: it's all of 99p on your Kindle. Alternatively the first chronological book, 'Half Dad Half Fish' which covers the time when the children were 9, 7 and 4 is available here.

Dollar Store
U.S. multinationals treat currency fluctuation the way retailers treat the weather: It's rarely a reason for earnings strength, but it's often an excuse for weakness.
The excuses should be coming in short order. Although the yen and the euro have fallen against the dollar all year, only in the current quarter have they slipped decisively into negative territory versus year-earlier levels.

Buganda Land Board is carrying out a Mass titling campaign dubbed 'A Land Title in your Hands' for six months aimed at strengthening security of tenure for tenants on the Kingdom land.
This campaign that is in line with the various laws and legislations in particular the Land Act of 2010 is directed towards issuing leasehold certificates of title to all interested tenants on Kabaka' land at subsidized costs. This is in accordance with the practice that describes tenancy in Buganda Kingdom as either a Kibanja or a leasehold title and this has been in existence for generations thus strengthening and promoting the sovereignty of the Kingdom.
The campaign further represents the Buganda Kingdom legislative organ' (Lukiiko) resolution of 1994, to offer leases to all interested tenants on the Kingdom land.
To date over 20,000 leasehold certificates of title have been issued on the Kingdom land and worthy noting is also the fact that even most of the land that was returned to the Kingdom in the 2013 agreement between the Kabaka and the President of Uganda has leases inherited by BLB stretching up to 99 years. This therefore demonstrates that leases are not only issued by Buganda Kingdom but also other bodies like Uganda Land Commission, District Land Boards, KCCA, Religious institutions and Private Mailo owners.
Buganda Land Board informs the general public that over time several land reform interventions have been initiated to strengthen security of tenure of all tenants on the Kingdom land and seeks to clarify the following;
- BLB acknowledges the fact that there is a special relationship between the Kingdom and people on Buganda kingdom land. Under this relationship, the Kabaka offers a maximum of 99 year leasehold term and a minimum of 49 years to all tenants on kingdom land for those who wish to acquire leasehold titles. This is a special arrangement that; Includes an automatic renewal clause upon expiry that can be ignored if the lessee expresses lack of interest of renewal before expiry. During the period of expiry, the lessee maintains his/her status until the process of renewal is completed. Those who have running leases are free to visit BLB offices for lease variation to reflect the aforementioned clause.THIS THUS PUTS TO REST THE GREATLY PUBLICIZED FEAR THAT THE KINGDOM WILL REPOSESS IT'S LESSEES' LAND UPON EXPIRY OF THEIR LEASES
- The Land Title in your hands (Kyapa mu Ngalo) campaign discounted fees are only applicable to the 49 year leasehold term. Those interested in the 75 or 99 year leasehold term have to express their interest.
- All current leaseholders with a 49 (Forty Nine) year term or below have an option under this campaign to extend their leases to a term of 99 (ninety nine) years subject to an arrangement between the lessor and the lessee.
- Acquiring leasehold certificates of title is voluntary and shall always continue as such.
- Any Kibanja holder who is not interested in having a leasehold title remains a Kibanja holder as per the law and pays busuulu accordingly. The person continues to enjoy full rights of a kibanja holder, gets the protection of the law and Buganda Land Board where the Kibanja is registered and is also expected to continue fulfilling his/her tenant obligations to the Kabaka.
Currently BLB is collecting busuulu as stipulated in the law. The amounts paid are as per the set district land boards or the Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban development rates. These range between 2,500/- to 50,000/- depending on the location of the kibanja irrespective of the size. Busuulu collection was resumed in February 2017 for all bibanja holders on Kingdom land and the exercise is running smoothly.
6. Buganda kingdom land is on the mailo tenure system. Under the law, freehold certificates of titles are not issued on mailo land. The Kingdom only issues leasehold certificates of title. It does not allocate perpetual ownership of land. If our predecessors issued perpetual ownership, the current generation would have no access to the Kingdom land.
- It strengthens one's security of tenure since a certificate of title is conclusive evidence of ownership of land.
- It increases the value of the land as the geographical boundaries and ownership are very clear thereby averting possible land disputes.
- A lease certificate of title is a more credible form of collateral with financial institutions. It is also a better reference to land ownership for access to utility services.
- A holder of a leasehold certificate of title has the capacity to issue titles in form of condominiums, sub-lease or sub-division surveys. This makes the titled land more marketable and beneficial to the owner.
- A Certificate of title is a prerequisite to the approval of any building plan in any part of Uganda. This is as per the Physical Planning Act 2010, (Section 3 – Declaration of a planning area) that declared the whole country a planning area.
- Protects you from the burdens of unending land conflicts accruing from boundary tracing.
- In case of any compensation due to infrastructural developments like road construction, the value allotted to the affected person with a leasehold title is higher than that of a kibanja holder.
What you need to obtain the Lease from BLB
- The Kibanja should be registered with BLB (should have a file number)
- It should be surveyed (with a deed plan or such similar evidence).
Buganda Land Board has also introduced an innovative system of land information management through a secured smart card to minimize fraudulent transactions. This innovation uses the biometric palm vein technology (Land Electronic card) that links the tenant identity to their land records. It is secure and has the ability to avail the tenant's land information in time of need. No transaction can be done on a client's file without authorization of the owner. All these initiatives are aimed at securing tenancy on the Kingdom land.
Buganda Land Board will continue with innovative approaches aimed at securing tenancy on the Kingdom land as well as giving occupants chance and a conducive environment to develop their land. Acquiring leasehold certificates of titles is voluntary and those willing to maintain their Kibanja status are free to do so provided they pay Busuulu and abide by the various land laws i.e. seeking consent from the landlord to develop or transferring kibanja interests. BLB will continue to demonstrate transparency and professionalism based on the Kingdom's core values of integrity and posterity for future generations.

Helpful Tips To Learning The Guitar 89There are many styles of playing guitar and many forms of music that include the guitar. So there is something for everyone. But you need basic skills to excel, no matter which styles you wish to pursue. So take the tips below and add them into your practice sessions today.
Do not attempt to learn anything too complicated in the beginning. Trying to figure out all the chords and scales may actually overwhelm you and cause you to lose your love for the instrument. Instead, get to know the guitar itself. Find out what the parts are called and what they are used for. That will get you started.
Play along with a CD, another guitarist or use a metronome. This will help you learn to play in time. When players first start learning to play the guitar, they often pause slightly to arrange their fingers properly. This will throw off your rhythm. You should practice playing slowly and quickly.
Try adding variety to your guitar practice. When you practice the same things over and over again, it can get boring. While routine practice is essential to playing well, you should also throw in some enjoyable items. Try playing songs that you like. You can even try playing in different locations outside your home.
If you wish to learn to play guitar, start out by purchasing an affordable, or even used, guitar. Or have the ability to learn how, don't jump right in and spend a bundle on an expensive instrument before you know if you will like playing it. If you find you want to continue learning, you can always upgrade to a better guitar later.
To properly learn the guitar, you will have calluses to build on your fingertips. Calluses will make playing the guitar less painful, especially with more practice. They will grow as you practice, though it will take time to accumulate callouses. There are also products on the market made just for this purpose.
Learn how to strum. Once you know your chords, it's time to move on to strumming. It's an important one to make, even though the transition can be difficult. Don't be afraid to take things slowly. There's no single, foolproof way to learn how to strum, so find a method that works for you.
Purchase a metronome. Doing so can help with timing and rhythm. It will help you develop the proper pace. So, try using a metronome when learning new songs and chords. It can really help you improve.
As a beginning guitarist, it is important to learn the musical scales. These are the notes you will use to form melodies as you learn. Playing musical scales is good for exercising the fingers, and it will also prepare you to learn to play guitar solos later, something every guitarist longs to do!
Interact with other people who play guitar. Being around other people who play guitar can be a lot of fun. It can really motivate you. You can learn a lot by talking with them or even by having a jam session with them. You can push each other to improve.
Make goals for yourself. Try to determine why you want to play. Is there a specific guitarist you would like to play like? Keep them in mind as a long-term goal. Make smaller, realistic short-term goals on your way towards your ideal skill level. Try to keep yourself motivated without letting yourself get discouraged.
Once your guitar skill improve, start teaching a beginner how to play. Teaching is a great way to learn. It's great practice and it helps you look at musical concepts from a different perspective. You can also learn a lot from players who are slightly more experienced because they may have just mastered a skill you are currently trying to learn.
Start off with an affordable guitar. There is no sense in investing in a very expensive guitar, only to find that it doesn't feel right in your hands. An inexpensive guitar is best for learning on and it can bear the brunt of any mistakes you make in caring for it without a great loss. Once you are used to the feel of a guitar, then you can move to a more expensive model that suits you.
One of the best things you can invest in as a beginner guitarist is a good chord chart. Chord charts offer a wealth of information. They show which chords are included in a particular key. They also tell you where your fingers go when you are playing each chord. You can find a chord chart at any music store. Alternatively, print one out online.
You can find a wealth of information online to help you with the basics of guitar playing. However, if you want good, comprehensive instruction, you can invest in guitar-teaching software, or professionally made textbooks and DVD's. Many of these offer interactive lessons and exercises, where you can watch a real person teach you to play.
learning guitar isn't all just a hands on thing. Your hands are not the only part of you that needs to be used while learning guitar. Learning about the world of music, music theory and application can help you become a better guitarist. So, take the time to read about music as well as play it.
Think about playing alongside someone else while you are learning. One of you can play chords while the other focuses on the melody. This is a fun way to practice the techniques of guitar. Practicing with someone will help if you ever want to play in a band or other group.
If you prefer taking lessons from a teacher, consider taking group lessons first. Community colleges and adult learning centers often offer guitar classes. This is an inexpensive way to try some lessons before you decide whether or not you want to pay fore private lessons. Learning in a group may be more fun as well.
In order to gain the required muscle memory for good play, you must practice daily. A daily, 30 minute practice session is always better than several hours worth of practice squeezed in on a weekend. You have Discover More Here to reinforce your daily habits.
No matter what your previous knowledge or skill level, you can learn how to play the guitar. Use the ideas you just read to help get you started. The more you invest of your time and mental power, the better you will become. In no time, you can learn to play the guitar.

Trick or Treating
We had a very fun evening Trick or Treating with Jackson last night. My parents and my Sister and her family came over to go trick or treating with us. Jake and my dad made a fire in our driveway and while we took the kids out trick or treating, my parents passed out candy. It was a little cool so we just went down our street and partially down another street and then headed back home. Here are a few pictures from the evening. :-)
Jackson really liked riding in his new wagon! He sat nice and still the whole way.
Paw Paw pulling Jackson around in the wagon while we waited for my sister and her family to get there. :-)
Our nice warm fire.
Jackson and my nephew Mason in the wagon.

Christmas 2012
I wrote this on a train on November 22, 2015. It's about the Christmas after my first heartbreak. This captures a glimmer of the deep and dark sadness that I felt that holiday season. I found this on my phone today, and wanted to share.
After You Left Me
There was a space next to my chair at the table. My family loves me enough to remove a chair so I didn't have to see it empty. But I could feel it there. The hole. I dressed up and wore lipstick and looked like I was getting through the holidays without you. But everyone knew better. No one brought up the missing chair.
I remember thinking that at least I didn't have to wait for you this year and offer excuses upon your behalf. You were always late, and I was constantly defending you.
The meal was all joy and laughs but I could feel it building in my chest. The ache always started low in my lungs and choked my heart and climbed up my throat and began to drown my eyes. I let my tears fall heavy and my hands shook. My fork tinged and tanged against my plate but I didn't have the energy to move it. My family hushed to a silence that was unlike all of them. And they let me cry. They knew why, they didn't have to ask questions. There has never been a more vulnerable moment for me than that. I was completely broken open. I couldn't even pretend that I was ok, I couldn't even excuse myself. I had nothing left.
Before you left me I was so solid, I was strong, cold even. I didn't show weakness. After you left I couldn't show strength. I had none of it left. Tears fell without warning, mostly in the car. Mostly while giving massages to strangers in a dark quiet room. It really is a cruel profession to break up in. You have 6 hours a day to think quietly, to replay conversations, and obsess over details. You are required to pretend that you are fine-even if you can barely stand up. You are required to pretend you care about someone else's needs,knots, and lives.
The holidays that first year, though. That was a tough one. So many tears. So many tears for years after that. Not until you left me. When you left me everything changed in my heart. I am a professional at keeping people at an arms length from my heart. I'm three years in, and I'm waiting for the pain to move away, or the fear to move aside, because despite the complete sadness and abandonment of the last three years I want to love again. I want to believe there is love after the first time. There was for him.
The Year of the Couch
"I'm going to stop you right there. I want you to verbally list out three things that you have accomplished because you haven't owned a couch."
This is what you hear after you diminish yourself in front of your life coach.
I pause not knowing what to say. I pause realizing how much I use this metaphor. I pause because she just showed me a glimpse into how I see myself and it is a difficult reality.
I often resort to self-deprecating humor when I compare my life to other friends my age and it usually goes something like this, "So-and-so owns a house, a boat, and has two kids. I don't even own a couch."
"Verbally list three things that you have accomplished by not owning a couch." She said it again.
"I moved to New York, I've travelled all over the place, and I have the freedom to move anywhere that I want because I don't own a couch." I blurted out. Not a sophisticated list, but all felt important.
"Not so easy to move across the country with a couch is it? Not owning a couch has meant freedom for you. That is a beautiful thing."She said.
She has a way of spinning all of the countless ways I diminish myself from a negative to a positive.(See below, I could list a hundred more (I think we all could) The left is what I apologize for, the right is what she sees from her lens)
No couch=freedom
Finished my degree later in life=Wisdom and self awareness
Change my mind a lot=Growth and evolution in the rawest form
I had no idea how much I diminish, apologize, and tiptoe around things that I say and how I act. Now that I have the awareness I'm going to make an effort to pause and spin it into a positive. I over explain things all of the time when there isn't a need to do so. We over explain our insecurities and I don't want to anymore.
I've been seeing my life coach/mentor/listener since mid-November and it is amazing and uncomfortable, and emotional, and has given me a clarity and drive that I haven't ever had before. I didn't have any idea what I was getting myself into, and didn't really know what a life coach did, but I'll try nearly anything when something lands serendipitously on my lap.
The conversations are usually on the phone, and it's incredibly intimidating when a stranger says, "Tell me about you. This is about you." It's not very often that we are given the opportunity to have a willing listener. (Something else I want to improve this year, be a better listening friend) The first conversation with her I started with a lot of "ums, and I don't knows," but then I started telling the story of how/why I moved to New York. After a few sentences of telling my story to her, she stopped me, "So you moved to New York without a job, without having gone to school here, and only "sort of "knowing one person? Can you just pause and recognize that that is inspiring to me and you should be really proud of yourself." I blushed through the phone and a smile stretched across my face the first time I heard her say that. (She says inspiring things like that all of the time, and it really seeps in after a while)
"Yeah, that does feel good, and I'm proud of that." I usually talk to her while fidgeting on the floor of my bedroom and smiling. And then my story begins to flow out of me, comfortably, confidently, and clearly. By speaking life to my thoughts, feelings, and struggles I have been able to take an internal inventory. This inventory has helped to figure out how far I have come, but most importantly where I want to go.
My list of goals I want to accomplish this year is short, but very precise.
I have a new energy around my goals and feel really motivated to accomplish them. I have four things on my list, and one of them is to buy a couch. It's no longer a soft place to sit, it's going to be an extremely symbolic and emotional day when I make the purchase.
When I buy a couch I am putting down roots.
Roots! Something I haven't been ready for until now. I'm always seeking clarity and have felt very spiritual in this new year.
I cut out a bunch of pictures of couches and put them on my dream board this weekend. I have a sexy little grey number in mind with a chaise lounge on one end…but I'm not quite ready yet but I have a feeling 2017 is the year of the couch.
You'll find a way.
I want to talk about one night in Costa Rica. On this night I felt something change inside of me. The entire trip was incredible, and both instructors were gifted, and each and every woman that was on the trip touched my heart in some way. But one night, my heart healed, and I felt it happening…and I didn't fight it, I let it heal.
Nosara, Costa Rica is this tiny little yoga/surf town that is so quaint you may miss it if you blink, even if you are on foot. Fruit stands selling watermelons and coconuts are freckled upon a bumpy dirt road and the sandy beach is nearly empty but the waves are dotted with surfers. Dread locks, man-buns, and beautiful tanned bikini clad surfers are too cool as they walk toward the beach with their boards under arm. The constant waves make this one of the best surf breaks in the world, and one of the best places to learn on. (I took two lessons and was able to get up the entire second day! So can I say I am a surfer now?)
On the second to last night of our five-day retreat we walked quietly through the jungle to the Nosara Yoga Institute to practice yoga in "the tree house." This was an open-air two story wooden cathedralesque building perched on the top of a hill. The jungle stood thick around us, and the treetops were eye level we were so high in the sky. The sounds of monkeys and exotic birds were so loud that it almost seemed like someone was playing a secret record that spun at the cadence of an intermittent speed of a windshield wiper. Peace and quiet, to the instant and intense deep throaty chant of a howler monkey.
When I think about this night, I think about it as if it took place in a vat of honey or tree sap. It seemed that time slowed down and the entire world had a golden glow.
I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the location, and my body was sore from the constant yoga and surf lessons. Fourteen of us sat up on our mats cross-legged and faced our instructor, Emily as she began class telling us a story out of Paulo Coelho's book, "Adultery."
Emily is one of those people that make you feel like the sun shines on you when she is in front of you, wether she's teaching, or having a conversation with her. She has a gift for teaching yoga, and for giving love like no one I have ever met.
It felt like we were in Emily's church being perched up here on this hilltop. This was where she completed her yoga teacher training, and it was as if the Earth was showing off to honor her. The sunlight beamed through the trees and cast a dusty light that looked like an Instagram filter. The scene was perfection, and then she began to talk. Her words. Her inflection. Her timing. I don't know what it was, but the story hit me so hard in the heart that I had a physical heart palpation. My chest fluttered as if my heart was trying to knock and get my attention. As if it was saying, "This is it. This is why you came here. Now listen up."
I will paraphrase the story as best as I remember and it goes something like this, without Emily's delivery it won't sound remotely as powerful, so please look up this book yourself if you want to really read this anecdote.
A woman is hang gliding after committing adultery. While in the air she has a telepathic conversation with an eagle.
She said, "I want to stay up here forever."
The eagle replied calmly, "But, you can't."
And the woman said, "How will I ever face what I have to face when I get back down there?"
And the eagle replied, "You'll find a way."
I realized in the moment that it was almost time to head back to New York, to face my normal life again, and I felt panic/fear/pain/sadness/loneliness all in one inhale. But the story she just told us. The story spoke to my heart, "You'll find a way."
The tears rolled hot and slow down my cheeks and I kept repeating to myself, "You'll find a way." I knew I would find a way to get through all of the hard times when I landed in New York again. Every woman here was facing so many of the same struggles that I was. I was not alone. Something else fluttered in my throat and chest and it said, "You are enough."
As you are. Right now. For everyone. You. Are. Enough.
Between the two mantras that sang in perfect harmony, I listened. I listened! I even believed it.
We flowed through vinyasas and squeezed through eagle pose, and swayed through goddess pose and I cried the whole time. Tears fell onto my mat with a pat pat pat pat. And I let them. I let them fall because I was enough even while being vulnerable. I was enough showing my emotions, and my weakness, and my soreness. This class is seared into my memory forever. This classs is sticky in my heart, it tastes like fresh fruit, and smells like wildflowers. As we ended the class in a circle I could feel the energy and the love and the healing sealing the class, and the week, and the trip.
Afterwards we walked in a single file line on the skinny trail and the tears flowed from me the whole way to dinner. I felt my heart open that night. My heart had been closed and hidden behind a vault for so many years. I felt a peace about my last breakup, and I felt a hope that I would love again-that I deserved to love again.
That night a fellow retreater shared her heart-breaking story of a breakup that was very similar to mine. I felt empathy, I felt her deep sadness, but I didn't feel like sharing my story. I realized then while I listened that mine is just that; a story. It doesn't give me pain, or sadness, it is just my story. I know that I am so lucky/blessed/thestarsaligned for me to go to Costa Rica, and it is going to be a treasure in my life forever. I just had to share this light that is beaming from my heart. I feel renewed after this vacation. I am writing again. My heart is open.
We will all find a way. And we are all enough.

Karen - Feline Creative
Katrina - Flutterby Trina
Ready to see what I've created for today's Grand Opening? :-) I used the adorable Spring Mailbox digi and colored it with Copic markers. The colors are a bit different than I normally use, but I wanted to match up with some of the colors in this fun Echo Park designer paper.
The curled corner is a new technique from the latest issue of Technique Junkies. It's such a fun little accent and it gives me a place to put the cute little butterfly.
Have fun checking out what the other DT ladies have created for today's Grand Opening! You will love these sweet digis from Heart Song Designs.

Testing the power of the mind
Here are the placebos given to a 30-year old person being treated for depression.
For years, scientists have looked at the placebo effect as just a figment of overactive patient imaginations. They weren't sure that the dummy medications had curbed epileptic seizures, lower blood pressure, or soothe migraines.
Now with the application of better technolgy the scientists are seeing surprising results. Using PET scanners and MRIs to peer into the heads of patients who respond to sugar pills, researchers have discovered that the placebo effect is not "all in patients' heads" but rather, in their brains. New research shows that belief in a dummy treatment leads to changes in brain chemistry.
This is the control of the mind over the body.
"The power which a man's imagination has over his body to heal it or make it sick is a force which none of us are born without. The first man had it; the last one will possess it." -Mark Twain, 1903.

Letters We Like!
Dear Editor:
I speak in response not as the leader of the local S.N.A.P.
organization but as the proud sister of a victim. I am so
grateful that he found the strength to carry the burden
of being sexually molested and chose to live.
The flippant remark towards victims of sexual abuse "get
a life" is exactly the attitude that he and the other
victims have had to endure. If the abuser was a next-door
neighbor and not a priest, and molested a loved one of yours,
would you still have the same opinion? These victims have
chosen to live; much to the chagrin of the abusers who were
sure the intimidation and evil power that they unleashed
would never be overcome.
These men and women have grown in strength to combat the
attitudes of some of the people who are quick to judge and
use such statements "get a life" or "just
get over it."
Most victims of sexual abuse are indeed productive citizens
and most have done it without the huge financial and moral
support that the parishioners and the bishops continue to
give to the known sex-abusing priest. How callous and shallow
of those people who continue to think for a minute that
the victim doesn't have a life. They unfortunately, know
life all to well. Victims of sexual abuse by clergy have
overcome obstacles that some, obviously, could not begin
to understand.
I pray that God will give strength to those who have not
yet come forth and will help them to overcome the intimidating
remarks that were so eagerly and willingly provided. I would
much rather be in the company of the victim, than be in
the presence of just one cold-hearted, misled and misguided
person. Not one of the victims that I know would wish their
life on anyone, and yet the remarks such as "get a
life" attack their moral being. I will gladly remind
everyone that each victim was viciously attacked as a child.
The life that you may know as pleasant was replaced with
the horrific memory of a priest raping them.

Maine Bishop Must Be A Lot More Forthcoming
Regarding the story, "Milestone for
Maine Catholics, " July 26th:
When asked if Bishop Joseph Gerry will make
public the names of the 51 priests accused of sexual abuse
of minors (33 are still living), the Bishop's spokesperson
said, according to the story, "The names of suspects
in serious crimes aren't released unless they are formally
charged through indictments."
Wait a minute. Bishop Gerry knows where
33 accused sexual offenders are living and he's not telling
anyone? He's not warning parents that the man who lives
next door might hurt their child? Â
As a Catholic, I am embarrassed by Bishop
Gerryâ€s ongoing reluctance to
provide a clear and forceful response to the clergy sexual
abuse scandal in my church.
How can we fix the problem until we know
what the problem is?
All we know is that 51 priests have received
allegations of sexual abuse of minors. We donâ€t
know how many victims there are. We donâ€t
know how many allegations each priest received. We donâ€t
know which parishes are involved. We donâ€t
know the extent to which sexually abusive priests were
transferred from parish to parish.
Archbishop Sean O'Malley of Boston has stated
that when confronted with conflicting points of view,
he concerns himself with one thing only - what is his
moral obligation? Innocent children are not prepared to
protect themselves from charming, friendly and persuasive
sexual molesters.Â
Bishop Gerry has a dangerous secret. He
knows the names and addresses of 33 accused child molesters.
Quite frankly, I don't know how he sleeps at night.

Interactive Comedy for Older People
Silver Comedy has been set up to provide a safe and welcoming environment to give older people a place to have a laugh.
Care groups including day centres, supported housing and care homes have a chance to have fun and share a laugh amongst the staff and group members with comedy for older people.
They believe that we all can enrich our lives if we just have a little bit of fun along the way.
Enriching older people's lives
Silver Comedy is a social enterprise, that work throughout the UK. They seek to enrich the lives of older people through actively engaging them in comedy workshops and performances given by trained comedians and entertainers.
"We use comedy workshops to actively engage older people with dementia alongside their carers and local staff and together we produced an improvised Mockumentary." said George Baddeley, managing director. "We use themes like 'a day at the seaside' or 'the Queen's visit' to encourage the audience to use their memories."
With the help of props, singing and jokes the audience is encouraged to join in making it a very interactive experience with the whole group encouraged to participate, although there is no pressure on people if they just want to just watch.
Silver Comedy, are in the process of setting up a national network of specially selected comedians and comedy trainers to help them to carry out their comedy workshops on a national level.
What we think about comedy for older people
Here at dementia.co.uk we like the idea of helping people to remember and reminisce through comedy. Although it's probably not everybody's cup of tea. But for the vast majority of dementia sufferers, carers and helpers its great to be able to have a laugh alongside everybody that's involved with the group.
It's a great way to 'let your hair down' for a few hours at least knowing that it's just for laughs.
You can watch a short video below to see the group in action as they perform a comedy session in Abbeyfield.
If you would like more information on what Silver Comedy can do for your group you can contact their managing director, George Baddeley.

2 yards of sand and almost 6000 lbs of flagstone being dropped off in my driveway. 2 full skids were unloaded with a crane. We had a group of young boys hanging back a bit watching the crane.
Yeeesh, what were we thinking? A massive amount of work awaits. :-) The pictures below show where the new flagstone will go.

United States District Court, D. Maryland
October 30, 2017
HOWARD SHMUCKLER Petitioner,v.WARDEN HOLLENBACK and THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND Respondents.
L. Russell, III United States District Judge.
MATTER is before the Court on Petitioner Howard
Shmuckler's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No.
1) and Motion for Default Judgment (ECF No. 16). The Petition
is ripe for disposition, and no hearing is necessary.
See Local Rule 105.6 (D.Md. 2016). For the reasons
outlined below, the Court will deny and dismiss the Petition,
deny the Motion for Default Judgment, and decline to issue a
certificate of appealability.
Court previously outlined the factual background of this case
in its January 6, 2017 Order. (See ECF No. 14 at 1-2). In the
January 6, 2017 Order, the Court observed that the instant
petition is untimely and granted Shmuckler an opportunity to
respond to the assertion that his petition is time-barred and
to provide grounds, if any, for equitable tolling of the
one-year filing period.
response again indicates his belief that the instant petition
is timely filed. He relies on a statement made by the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of North
Carolina in its December 16, 2015 Order re-opening this case
and transferring it to this Court. (ECF No. 15-1). That Order
indicates that Shmuckler had "demonstrated good cause
for his failure to prosecute" when he explained that he
had failed to respond to the court's directive to correct
a deficiency in the pleading because the prison where he was
incarcerated had been on a twenty-two day quarantine and
lockdown. (Id. at 1). The Eastern District of North
Carolina further indicated that since Shmuckler was
challenging his Maryland state conviction, "transfer,
rather than dismissal, is in the interest of justice, because
state prisoners generally must file a Section 2254 within one
year of their conviction." (Id. at 2).
Shmuckler concludes that the Eastern District of North
Carolina's Order transferring his Petition to this Court
for adjudication is a finding by that court that his Petition
is timely.
one-year statute of limitations applies to habeas petitions
in non-capital cases for a person convicted in a state court.
See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d). "[T]he one year
limitation period is also subject to equitable tolling,
" however, "in those rare instances where, due to
circumstances external to the party's own conduct, it
would be unconscionable to enforce the limitation against the
party and gross injustice would result." Hill v.
Braxton, 277 F.3d 701, 704 (4th Cir. 2002) (citing
Harris v. Hutchinson, 209 F.3d325, 330 (4th Cir.
2000)). To be entitled to equitable tolling, a petitioner
must establish that either some wrongful conduct by the
respondents contributed to his delay in filing his petition
or that circumstances that were beyond his control caused the
delay. See Harris, 209 F.3d at 330. A federal habeas
petition does not toll the one-year limitation period.
See Duncan v. Walker, 533 U.S. 167, 175 (2001) (a
federal habeas petition is not an application for State
post-conviction or other collateral review within the meaning
of §2244(d)(2) and therefore does not toll the
limitation period while it is pending).
reliance on the Eastern District of North Carolina's
December 16, 2015 Order transferring the case to this Court
is misplaced. The only issue the court addressed in that
Order was whether the case should be reopened and, in light
of Shmuckler's explanation regarding why he missed the
deadline to correct the deficiency in the pleading filed, the
court concluded there was good cause to reopen the case. In
addition, the Eastern District of North Carolina noted that
it was transferring the case under 28 U.S.C. §2241(d),
which states in relevant part: "The district court for
the district wherein such an application is filed in the
exercise of its discretion and in furtherance of justice may
transfer the application to the other district court for
hearing and determination." (Emphasis added.) In
short, the Eastern District of North Carolina's December
16, 2015 Order did not address whether the Petition stated a
claim or met all procedural requirements for a Section 2254
petition. The Order reserved those matters for this Court to
petition is deemed filed on January 21, 2015, the date he
signed it. (ECF No. 1 at 6), see United States v.
Dorsev, 988 F.Supp. 917, 919-20 (D.Md.
1988).[1]Shmuckler did not file a direct appeal by
way of application for leave to appeal with the Maryland
Court of Special Appeals, nor did he file a petition for
post-conviction relief with the Circuit Court for Prince
George's County, Maryland, each of which would have
tolled the limitations period. Because Shmuckler filed the
Petition over three months after the limitations period
expired, it is untimely. In addition, Shmuckler has not
offered a basis for the Court to toll the limitations period.
Absent a basis for equitable tolling of the limitations
period, the Court must dismiss the Petition.
as here, a petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed
solely on procedural grounds, a certificate of appealability
will not issue unless the petitioner can demonstrate both
"(1) 'that jurists of reason would find it debatable
whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a
constitutional right' and (2) 'that jurists of reason
would find it debatable whether the district court was
correct in its procedural ruling.'" Rouse v.
Lee, 252 F.3d 676, 684 (4th Cir. 2001) (quoting
Slack v. McDaniei 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000)). The
Court concludes that Shmuckler has not provided a basis to
issue a certificate of appealability. Accordingly, the Court
will not issue one.
For the
foregoing reasons, the Court will dismiss Shmuckler's
Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1). A separate
Order follows.

The folks over at the Way of the Rabbit have parted ways with Z. Budapest and posted this very nice departure letter. Frankly, I don't agree with everything but who cares? They obviously spent a lot of time working on a public statement that would not be offensive. Further, they made a point of honoring Z. Budapest for all her contributions. They also made the point they cannot change the mind of another.
I can't help but get the sense that they tolerated a lot from Z over the years and the public embarrassment over the last year or so was simply too much for them. Perhaps there is more here. Perhaps, they simply grew past their founder or away from her. There is no crime in that. They held on as long as they could until the Universe forced them apart.
Frankly, it looks like they healed from their "patriarchal" traumas and didn't need to play that particular game anymore. Good for them! And good for Budapest that taught them how.
I see such clear analogies with my departure from my mentor. Though, allow me to be very clear that I am not embarrassed by him in anyway. I give due honor to what he has done for me and others. I acknowledge his superior magickal skill and knowledge. However, I also acknowledge myself, my healing, my learning, my growth and a host of other things that necessitated a departure. I bring him no shame as a student or former student.
The relationship had grown toxic. The dynamic was not healthy. I think he has some learning to do on why I left. I have some learning to do as well. I find no shame in that on either end. That is part of the alchemical process.
While I am sure he is hurt now, just like Budapest may be, I think in time he will see this is for the best and hurting was not the intent. Too much of our interaction was based on an event that neither one of us was going to budge on. The odd part is that a great deal of information has come to light recently. People that had kept their mouths shut are no longer. I find that quite fascinating. I also find it fascinating that I feel I could have been told most of this information years ago and been just fine with it. I also find it fascinating that the topic is beginning to bore me.
I don't regret what I did but I may have been able to do it a little better. Though, I will not claim to have done it wrong at all. So, I would like to acknowledge the former Amazon Tribe for doing what they did with class. They could have been ugly about it but chose not to be. They did it with class. Nice job.

Departing with Class
1 comment:

We all leave mentors eventually, I find. And it's part of the process of growth and development. Sometimes they leave us through death; sometimes we leave them through complications; sometimes we learn what we can from them.
I find that there are old mentors of mine that I can summon up in my imagination even thugh they're not dead. And then I can 'evoke' from them (using it in an ordinary rather than magical sense [although what does that really mean anyway?]) the advice they would give from their Higher Self, if they could access it in real-life interactions.

If there's one thing Australians love more than a big, fat heart-attack inducing burger, it's the exact same burger with a slightly different variation of meat.
So you'll be bloody stoked to learn that after disappearing last year, the Chicken Big Mac is back, with all the usual goodness of a Big Mac including iceberg lettuce, cheese, onions, pickles, two big ol chicken patties and that special Big Mac sauce.
"The iconic Big Mac and the McChicken are among our most popular burgers, so it made sense to mix up these two classics and give our customers a new and exciting product to try — the Chicken Big Mac," said McDonald's Australia's CMO Jenni Dill at the time of the original launch in 2017.
Apparently, with all the success of new healthier gourmet options, the big fat feed at Maccas is looking a lot less appealing to a lot of people.
The rise of services like UberEats and Deliveroo means that people now have access to an abundance of tasty foods that goes way beyond a greasy burger and some stale chips.
It looks like the Chicken Big Mac is a different direction for Maccas, after years of trying to promote more healthy and gourmet additions like wraps, salads and the Create Your Own Burger range.
The Chicken Big Mac is up for grabs from today, and it will cost you an extra $1.25 on top of a normal Big Mac.

I have admired Kendo for some time now, and finally got the chance to train about 9 months ago. However, due to my family and work schedule I am able to attend every other week at the most. Furthermore, most of my instructors and classmates are all Japanese, and although they speak English very well, it is difficult to communicate with them about some things.

So the thing about spin is – at least for me – when you find an instructor you like, you follow them around. I've been following a couple of my favorite instructors around the city from studio to studio, and I stumbled upon Stax Cycle Club. This little spin shop has been open for a few months now, and I wanted to share a little bit more of their story.
Tell me a little bit about yourself and your work. Where are you from? What do you do?
I'm originally a kiwi, shipped over here from New Zealand in high school. Katie and I actually met playing basketball and volleyball at Mount Royal College back in '07… we instantly became good friends (perhaps due to our height…but more so how our senses of humour just clicked!). I then headed to the University of Saskatchewan to finish my degree and volleyball career, and Katie headed over to Spain on a professional basketball contract. When we both ended up back in Calgary together again, we couldn't help but start to curate a business plan to help keep our washed-up athlete bodies in shape!
What inspires you to do what you do? How did you start doing this work?
I've been instructing spin for 5 years now, and Katie has always been a spin addict, hitting up amazing studios all over the world. We wanted to create a hub for all Calgary's favourite instructors, where they could be creative with their music/playlists and marketing programs. We knew that the secret for happy clients was providing a space for instructors where they can thrive, and have some freedom, rather than being locked into a regimented spin program.
What inspires you most about your community?
Stax is a place where the health and happiness of our instructors come first, because, at the end of the day, it's them that pulls people to walk through our doors. We're all about balance, and we love the hard-core, intense side of our friends, clients and instructors, but also love that we can crack a beer after class and stick around for some high fives and good conversation. We're not pretentious in any way, and we try not to take ourselves to seriously and keep things light hearted!

How does iron deficiency contribute to overall burden of disease globally?
Iron deficiency is in the top 20 risk factors for the global distribution of burden of disease1. It is frequently under-diagnosed resulting in increased hospitalisation, reduced quality of life and higher mortality rates in patients with comorbid conditions1–7. The WHO has estimated that iron deficiency causes the loss of 48,225 disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) worldwide, more than is seen with lung cancer1. If iron deficiency is left to advance to anaemia it is harder to treat and associated with even worse outcomes4,6; however, recent research indicates that treating iron deficiency early on, before progression to anaemia, reduces mortality in comorbid conditions6,7.
For further information on the global burden of iron deficiency, please click here.
How do iron deficiency, iron deficiency anaemia and anaemia (without iron deficiency) differ?
What are the common symptoms of iron deficiency?
Common symptoms of iron deficiency are presented in the table below8–12. However, symptoms can vary depending on the type of iron deficiency and the severity, as well as with the presence of comorbid diseases8. The commonality between symptoms of iron deficiency, with or without anaemia, and those of concomitant diseases may complicate diagnosis and reliance upon symptoms alone is not appropriate9. Comprehensive screening of multiple blood iron parameters is the only method of accurately diagnosing iron deficiency.
Each therapeutic area has its own guidelines detailing the common presentation of iron deficiency within specific patient populations. More information can be found in the 'Clinical guidelines' section of the Iron Essentials page.
How do I diagnose iron deficiency versus other causes of anaemia?
Haematological and biological tests are the main source of information for a diagnosis of iron deficiency (see table below)10. As each test represents a different aspect of iron metabolism, care must be taken when interpreting the results and selecting threshold values of the measurements. The appropriate guidelines should always be adhered to when determining specific diagnostic cut offs. For more information on guidelines, please click here.
In addition, most types of anaemia that are not due to iron deficiency do not cause microcytosis, which means that a low mean corpuscular volume (MCV) can often be a marker of iron deficiency. There is an increasing body of literature suggesting that the percentage of hypochromic reticulocytes is a reliable indicator, but this test is not yet widely available10.
What is the difference between functional and absolute iron deficiency?
Absolute iron deficiency, which is commonly caused by blood loss, arises from depleted iron stores and often results in occurrence of anaemia. It is characterised by a low serum ferritin, low percentage saturation of transferrin and high total iron binding capacity8–10.
Functional iron deficiency, better described as iron restricted erythropoiesis, may occur in patients with upregulation of the iron regulatory protein hepcidin, which blocks iron absorption and release from circulating macrophages8. As a result, iron is present but unavailable, serum ferritin levels are normal to high, the percentage saturation is still low due to iron availability, and the total iron binding capacity is normal8–10. It also occurs when the bone marrow erythropoietic activity is significantly increased above baseline, as with the use of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs), and otherwise normal iron stores are unable to sustain an increased iron demand8–10.
For further information on distinguishing between different forms of iron deficiency, please click here.
How does prevalence of iron deficiency differ in different patient populations?
Prevalence of iron deficiency varies greatly across different patient populations due to differences in underlying causes. It occurs frequently in patients with chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, heart failure and chronic kidney disease13. This may be due to the body's inflammatory response which leads to reduced iron uptake4–6. Iron deficiency is also common in pregnancy, in women with heavy menstrual bleeding and in cancer patients. In these patient groups iron deficiency is often a consequence of increased blood loss14,15.
How can iron deficiency affect patient outcomes in comorbid conditions?
Anaemia and iron deficiency are associated with poorer outcomes and increased morbidity across a range of comorbid conditions, some of which are listed below.
Chronic heart failure
Iron deficiency is linked to both disease severity and mortality in patients with chronic heart disease, and its correction has been shown to lead to a significant improvement in cognitive function, symptoms and exercise performance16,4.
Chronic kidney disease
Iron therapy provides clinical benefits in patients with chronic kidney disease and iron deficiency anaemia, including significant increases in haemoglobin levels and improvements in physical performance, immune function, thermoregulation and cognition17,18.
Gastrointestinal diseases
Iron deficiency is common in patients with gastrointestinal diseases. It is associated with reduced quality of life, and increased time away from work and frequency of hospitalisation19. It is common amongst patients with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Pregnancy and gynaecological patients
Iron deficiency in pregnancy is associated with multiple maternal and neonatal complications, including (but not limited to) premature birth, reduced birth weight, perinatal mortality, increased risk of maternal infections and decreased tolerance of infections or bleeding20.
Iron deficiency can have a significant, deleterious effect on quality of life in patients with specific types of cancer. Evidence suggests a correlation between iron deficiency and poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status in patients with solid tumours15.
How do oral and intravenous iron therapies differ?
Treatment with oral iron offers a relatively simple and cost-effective option for iron replacement. For patients with no contraindications to oral iron or in those who do not experience adverse events, oral iron therapy can be effective21. However, it is unsuitable in certain patient populations21, and its use is frequently associated with gastrointestinal side effects including nausea, gastric cramping, constipation and diarrhoea. Significant toxicity is often reported with oral iron treatment and adherence is low21.
Intravenous iron avoids the need for oral intake, which is beneficial in patients with absorption problems. The iron is delivered directly into the blood and is, therefore, often effective when oral iron is unsuccessful or inappropriate. The currently used formulations offer the benefit of a relatively quick correction of iron deficiency (15-60 minute total-dose infusions). In addition, severity of side effects may be decreased with intravenous iron therapy. Intravenous iron is often under-used as a result of misinformation concerning minor reactions to administration22. However, serious adverse events are rare and intravenous administration often leads to better patient adherence and outcomes22.
Both intravenous and oral iron are currently recommended in several guidelines for the treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia23–29.
When is oral iron therapy not indicated?
Oral iron is unsuitable in certain patient populations, such as in those where it cannot work effectively, including patients who have undergone gastric bypass, have heavy uterine bleeding, and have ongoing blood loss such as in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia and angiodysplasia30,31. It is also often ineffective in inflammatory disorders, such as in inflammatory bowel disease, where iron absorption through the gut is reduced31.
Another major clinical scenario where oral iron therapy is not indicated is in haemodialysis patients. Oral iron is not absorbed due to an increase in the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin in this patient group. Clinical practice guidelines suggest that only intravenous iron is useful in this population31.
For information on prescribing iron therapy, please refer to the 'dosing and treatment' section of the Iron Essentials page.
