'Plethora' of diseases caused by low vitamin D - Telegraph:
A lack of awareness about vitamin D deficiency and the 'plethora' of disease it is linked to is fuelling a rise in preventable illnesses among children, experts at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health have said.
Despite low cost supplements being widely available health care professionals and parents do not know the importance of taking them, they said.
Doctors have said the poor summer weather will contribute to an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency as the lack of sunshine will have meant depleted stores of the vitamin which the body can make from sunlight.
The College has launched a campaign to ensure all pregnant women, those breastfeeding, children aged between six months and five years and the elderly aged over 65 take vitamin D supplements in accordance with guidelines.
It comes as figures show that cases of rickets, poor bone growth causing pain and bowed legs, have risen fourfold in the last 15 years.
Vitamin D can be found naturally in some margarines, eggs and in oily fish but it can be added to milk and cereals.
Vitamin D deficiency is known to increase the risk of diabetes, tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis and rickets and a quarter of children and around half of the white adults have a serious lack of the vitamin.
Professor Mitch Blair, Officer for Health Promotion at the RCPCH, said: "We know vitamin D deficiency is a growing problem – and localised research reveals startling high levels of vitamin deficiency amongst certain groups including children.
"People can only get a fraction of their recommended daily amount of vitamin D through food and very little from sunlight. So getting out in the sun more or eating more oily fish isn't going to solve the problem.
This is a total BS statement. After years of telling us to avoid the sun because of cancer risks, now we're told that sunlight, which can produce tens of thousands of IU of vitamin D on bare skin, doesn't produce much at all. We need supplements? How in the world did we get Vitamin D before the great epidemic of low vitamin D levels started on 15 years ago then!
"Lack of vitamin D is related to a plethora of serious illnesses in children and adults that could be prevented through relatively simple steps such as taking supplements."
The RCPCH is launching a campaign calling for: vitamin D supplements to be readily available at low-cost and high quality; an investigation into the pros and cons of further fortification of food with vitamin D; professional guidance for health care professionals on how to diagnose and treat diseases linked to vitamin D deficiency; and a public awareness campaign.
"And equally as important is making sure that all health care professionals can spot the signs of vitamin D deficiency in children; aches and pains, poor growth, muscle weakness and seizures – and make sure they get appropriately treated."

Blanket Scarf
I lived in New York City a few years ago and before then, my family would visit quite often for work or to see family. Every time my parents would visit, I'd request a pashmina scarf in a specific color that you can pick up from almost any corner street vendor. Because of this, I have a nice size scarf collection (I am still missing colors but usually don't notice until I have an outfit on and realize I don't have a scarf to match). I also love some nice tartan (or plaid) scarves, and blanket scarves are amaaaazing.
When I went to Scotland, I brought along my blanket scarf in case I needed it. It is one of the best pieces I have ever packed for a trip. I had it in my carry on and ended up using it as a blanket during my flight to keep me warm on the cold plane. Before leaving on the trip, a family friend living in Scotland told us that we'd only need a light sweater or cardigan to keep warm. We even checked the weather online before leaving. Problem is, we spent time in a hot Italy before heading up North. By the time we got into Scotland the temperature dropped and it was unseasonably cold. I wore my blanket scarf like my life depended on it. Since it is so big, it offered protection around my neck from the wind and gave me an extra layer under my jacket (much needed when I was up in the Highlands taking pictures in the rain).
As you can see above these scarves are really versatile and so comfortable! They can add an extra bit of oomph to your outfit, and definitely provide that extra needed warmth during the cooler months. To celebrate the new year, I am giving away one of these adorable blanket scarves that can be seen on bloggers everywhere! Enter below
DIY Body Butter
It usually tough to find a good body cream that doesn't feel sticky, ultra oily, or make me break out. I find that natural ingredients, and products without fragrances work best for my skin, and it can be a bit challenging to find such a product without spending an obnoxious amount of money (it's body cream!!!! It should not make a person go broke). Along with the exfoliating Salt Scrub I make for myself, I make this Body Butter as well. It literally goes on like butter. It melts into your skin and you don't need to use much for complete coverage. I put it on before bed and wake up to super silky skin.
I have 8 oz. containers that I use and I usually make a batch big enough to fill a few containers at once. I'm very careful not to get my fingers into anything and I don't make too much since there are no preservatives used. I purchase my Unrefined Cocoa Butter here, Unrefined Virgin Shea Butter here, Coconut and Olive Oil from Costco, and I added a few drops of Almond Extract.
Melt half a cup of the Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Olive Oil, and Coconut Oil in a double boiler*. Whisk together until melted. When ingredients are melted together, place bowl in fridge (place something under bowl so you don't melt anything in your fridge). When the contents of the bowl has cooled off and started to solidify, remove from fridge, add a few drops (I wouldn't go over a teaspoon) of an essential oil or fragrance you like (not necessary), and use a hand mixer to whip until you have a butter like consistency (like the picture above). Don't hesitate to put back in the fridge if the mixture isn't thick enough yet. Fill your containers before butter firms. If you keep your Body Butter in a cool place, it will remain firm , and if you keep it in a warmer place it may melt slightly.
* A double boiler is helpful when you don't want to burn what you are melting and it also gives you more control. Place 1-2 inches of water in a pot and place a bowl (big enough to sit on the edges of the pot) inside it. Bring the water to a boil while melting ingredients in the bowl.
DIY Face Peel/Mask
Have you ever used a Biore pore strip? This mask will have the same effect (not as harsh on your skin) on your entire face. It is really simple to do and you already have everything you need in your house right now. I started doing these a few years ago and it's a nice mask to have in your back pocket whenever you need to freshen up.
Grab a Kleenex and separate the layers (usually there will be two). Carefully rip one layer in half, the other layer you can probably keep in one piece. Get some egg whites (about a tsp. You don't need much, a little goes a long way) and a small brush.
Start with one of the pieces you tore in half. place it on your forehead so it covers as much skin as possible. Dip your brush in the egg whites and start to paint over the Kleenex on your forehead. The egg whites will act like a glue to hold the Kleenex onto your skin. Don't paint over your eyebrows or hairline.
Continue to do this over the rest of your face. Move the Kleenex around so everything is covered and be sure to poke holes so you can breath! I tend to leave my mouth covered and just don't paint over my lips. If you know you'll be speaking, make sure to tear out a space.
It will take about 10-15 minutes for the egg whites to dry. If you want to speed up the process, feel free to blast some cool air with your blow dryer.
When everything is dry, peel the Kleenex off. You'll want to wash the egg whites off your face. Let me know how the mask works out for you in the comments!
DIY Hair Mask
As much as I complain about my hair, I have to acknowledge that I have really, really good hair! Having finally admitted that, I do a lot of styling to it with hot tools, colour it, and I like to keep it long, so keeping it looking healthy can be a bit of a challenge. I also don't like to spend much money on hair products, because when you do have long thick hair, those products add up quickly (dime size amount of product?! Definitely doesn't cut it). I recently had my hair colour stripped which did a lot more damage to my hair than it had in the past. I have spent the last few weeks using an obnoxious amount of conditioner and washing my hair as little as possible to get it back to its soft and silky state (neither of which has really worked very well). I knew I had to try something new, so I made my first attempt at a homemade hair mask.
I use Coconut Oil for EVERYTHING and I absolutely love it so knowing it was going to be an ingredient in my hair mask gave me confidence that it would actually work. I mixed up the ingredients, bent my head over the sink, and slowly worked the mixture into my hair until it was totally covered and massaged in, wrapped my hair and waited for an hour. The trick for me is not how my hair looks or feels immediately after, but how it looks and feels the next day. I usually wake up with crazy dreads at the nape of my neck, and my ends manage to look like they've been fried overnight. Generally, I look like a mess. When I woke up to shiny, very clean looking hair, no huge tangles, and smooth ends, I knew I found a winner! I will definitely be adding this hair mask in at least once a week to keep my hair looking and feeling great.
1-2 Eggs
1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1-2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1-2 Plastic bags (to put over your hair to prevent dripping)
If you have shoulder length hair or shorter, you only need to use 1 of each of the ingredients. My hair reaches about 2 inches above my belly button (and I have a lot of it). I used 2 eggs and approximately 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil and Coconut Oil (I don't measure and a little more won't hurt).
Melt your Coconut Oil in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Add your Olive Oil and Egg(s). Please make sure your Coconut Oil isn't too hot, you don't want to start cooking your egg.
Whisk together well and slowly work into your hair. If you pour large amounts, most of it will just skip your hair and land in your sink so take your time and work it in.
Wrap your hair. I use 2 plastic bags (the first to cover is a bag I bring home my fresh veggies in from the grocery store. They are the perfect size. The second is just to make sure I don't drip anywhere) and twist the extra plastic and tuck the end in on my forehead. My hair really wasn't dripping at all and your probably won't unless you have too much oil in it.
Keep mixture in your hair for a minimum of 1 hour.
Rinse well with cool or warm water. DO NOT use hot water; you don't want to cook the egg in your hair. The mixture rinses out pretty well on its own. I used a small amount of shampoo to help wash the remaining mixture out and then shampooed and conditioned as usual.
Comment below with your results!
DIY Salt Scrub
I used to work in a little store that would mix scrubs, bath salts and lotions for each individual customer. Since then, I've found that the scrubs I mix for myself are much better than anything I could buy in a store (and much more cost effective).
When it comes to salt vs. sugar, the decision is entirely up to you. I personally like salt scrubs better as salt is a little coarser and softens my skin a bit more. Salt also tends to dry your skin a little more so if you are prone to oily skin, you may prefer this option. If you have sensitive skin, sugar might be the better choice. I have changed measurements and ingredients over the years to find what works the best for my skin, so please feel free to do the same. If I'm using a scented lotion, the body wash I add will be unscented. If both the lotion and body wash are unscented, I may add a few drops of lemon juice, vanilla extract, almond extract, or my own perfume. Keep in mind, the ingredients you add will color your scrub.
The measurements below can be doubled and tripled for whatever container you'd like to fill.
Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix together
4 Tbsp Salt (Salt, Coarse Salt, Sea Salt, Sugar)
½ Tbsp Lotion (Lotion, Cream)
½ Tbsp Soap (Body Wash, Grated Bar Soap)
1 Tsp Oil (Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Baby Oil)
Very simple mix. A thicker cream will make your scrub thicker. This isn't like baking where measurements need to be exact. Have fun!
I try to use as many natural beauty products as possible, for health reasons, and because I don't like to spend unnecessary amounts of money.

Silver Lake's Pine & Crane owner Vivian Ku was recently featured in the L.A. Times as a mover and shaker in the Asian food scene. The article reported that the young chef is continuously experimenting with dishes at her Taiwanese restaurant. One example: "trotters" or pigs feet, a common Chinese dish that was too gelatinous for Pine & Crane's diners. "Sometime we will introduce a new dish that is more traditional and less likely to be liked," Ku said in the L.A. Times article. "We are constantly trying to push those limits."
In other Shopper & Diner news:
- Echo Park resident and breakout purse designer Clare Vivier is hosting a sample sale at her Atwater Village design studio this Saturday, May 30, and Sunday, May 31, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., LA Racked reports.
- Tacos carts are a dime dozen in Los Angeles. But one has captured the attention from Los Angeles Magazine: Boyle Heights' Tacos El Morro and its tacos dorados de birria. Served up Guadalajara style, the corn tortillas are soaked in consommé, a spicy stock made up of chile ancho and chile guajillo. Then the tortilla is filled with goat birria and the mini-taco is fried until crispy. Tacos El Morro operates on Saturdays and Sundays on the corner of Whittier Boulevard and Albertine Street.
- Burgerlords head over to Eagle Rock's the Oinkster for its fifth annual Burger Week, held from Monday, June 1 to Sunday, June 7. Each day, chef-owner Andre Guerrero features a new burger that is only available for that day. Standout ingredients include bourbon-bacon jam and pork rind dust (The Klogger), black garlic cream cheese (Bet it all on Black Garlic) and green curry mayo (The Big Kahuna). To top it off, the folks at the Oinkster and Highland Park Brewery teamed their talents to create a Burger Week beer they dubbed Red Tick ale.

What are the fold clothing labels ?
Used for brand identification or product decoration, clothing labels are an excellent way to emphasize product quality and create elevated product differentiation.
Here is a brief description of the most common type of folds:
1. End fold: End folded labels are folded down on the left and right side.
2. Straight Cut: Also known as heat cut. It's not straightly a fold, the clothing label is cut from the woven tape using heated wire.
3. Loop Fold: Same as the centre fold, but the clothing label is not creased flat. It is normally sewn into the side seam.
4. Manhattan Fold: Like a centre fold label but the top is also folded down creating a flap to tuck the bottom into the flap. Sometimes the sides of the clothing label are heat sealed to create a pocket for spare buttons, it is then sewn into the side seam.
5. Center Fold: The clothing label is folded in the middle and usually sewn into the seam. The information are divided on top and bottom. The information in the back can be read when the woven is flipped upward.
6. Mitre Fold: The ends of the clothing label are folded under and up creating a tab to be sewn into the seam.
7. Die Cut No folding, the clohing label is cut into different shapes using a die or cut by laser.

In the space of one episode I've become totally addicted to "Torchwood." This isn't even the regular series – it's a five-part miniseries. Unfortunately I'm missing two nights now, and the BBC site won't let me watch the episodes online for some reason. (Hmm, look what's on Amazon…)
Work was much more exciting today. We had visitors from an American school, and I got to sit in on their meetings and tag along for the campus tour and meet with the UCC kids who are going to spend the year there. And later tonight, I get to go out to dinner with them. (Well, "get to" may not really be the right phrase – I'm sure I'll be nervous and awkward the whole time, but I am determined to network the hell out of this visit.) I'm glad the visitors allowed me to be included, because I think it gave me a good look at what the real job will be like.
Oh, and I'm officially set to go on a field trip on Saturday! I'm going with one of the summer school classes to the Rock of Cashel, which is not so much a rock as a really cool castle – the seat of pre-Norman kings and the site of a conversion by St. Patrick etc. and so forth.
Speaking of Irish history, I learned today that I've been lied to most of my life. During the Gaelic revival of the 19th century, Irish historians decided that the Irish needed to identify with a group that wasn't Normans or Anglo-Saxons (or Vikings, because they always get bad press), because they were looking for ways to differentiate themselves from the Anglo-Saxon/Norman/British conquerors. They decided that the Celts fit the bill, even though they were never really a very significant group here – the Vikings had much more influence. Apparently there are whole classes here dedicated to the "myth of Celticism" and how Irish identity has been shaped.
Here are some pictures from the last couple days! (I can't believe I've only been here a week – it feels like it's been ages.)
These are some of the sights on the way from my apartment to work and the city center.

A journal entry from: Kevin and Julie's RTW
Author: Julie
We had quite an adventure today: we took on the volcano and it won! We had made plans with Dominic (the tandem bike guy) to hike up to the refugio near the top of the Turungahua volcano today. During the explosion of December 2006, the old refugio had been destroyed by the lava flows but a new one was rebuilt a few months ago when the volcano activity died down.
We left our hostel early in the morning to meet Dominic for a breakfast at a restaurant near the start of the trail. We had a traditional Ecuadorian breakfast of pork, rice and beans as well as potato patties and eggs. It was delicious, filling and cheap.
We could have taken a taxi mid-way up the mountain for 15$ but like Dominic says ?Taxis are for sissies?. Two hours into the trail, as we intersected with the road, it started to rain hard and we were quickly soaked from head to toe. I, being someone who does not do well in damp weather, quickly got frozen and out came the toque and mitts. We were lucky enough to stop at an old tienda and spent the next hour talking to the owner while we waited out the rain. From what we understood (Dominic is proficient in Spanish, but ours is just starting to come along) the tienda (store) used to be the starting point of the trail from the main road but the road was lengthened and now no one stops in. It was sad to see only a few shelves stocked. He now farms the slopping lands behind his store, growing corn. He talked about the volcano explosion and how where he was located was very safe since the lava flowed down the opposite mountain slope, away from his home.
The rain abated, we had dried a bit and decided to continue up the road to the start of the second part of the trail. As we walked, we past field after field of corn and papaya as well as many green houses perched on the slope in an awkward 60 degree angle. It seemed that the greenhouses were barely holding on and would topple over with a strong wind. We found the trailhead and with the train it had turned into a slippery, muddy mess. We continued to climb higher and higher, following the same trail as the local horses and cows did, skipping over their poop trying not to sink into the muck. The vegetation changed from trees and shrubs to more and more bamboo/sugar cane. Over the years, the trail had been gouged out of the mountain side by the many hikers, horses/cows and rain rivulets so it was now 10 feet below ground and only a small narrow wedge of space left where one could only put one boot in front of the other. The boys, being taller and having longer legs than me, were able to straddle the lip of the trail and inch their way up instead of having to shimmy along in the mud like I did. Above us, the bamboo had canopied till it felt like we were climbing in caves with vegetation hanging just low enough, that every time I hit something with my head, I thought a spider or something more icky would fall on it and down my neck. I made sure to touch as little as possible. Every once in a while the vegetation would open up and we would see a little of the fields that ran alongside of the trail but the rain clouds were think and we could barely see further than our noses. During a break on a ridge, out of the mist surrounding us, came out 2 black horses and 1 white horse. It was such a beautiful, peaceful moment? till we heard the volcano rumbling somewhere far above us. It sounded like thunder but more deeply. More hours past and we continued to work our way up to our destination of the refugio but then we ran into a guide with clients trailing in rubber boots who informed us that we still had another couple of hours to go before we reached out destination. It was getting close to 3 PM and we didn?t want to run the chance of getting stuck on the mountain after the sunset at 6:30 so we made the decision to turn around, saddened that we didn?t get to see the refugio or the old lava flows. One day, when it is sunny and warm, we will come back and conquer Turungahua. Coming back down was lots of fun as we slipped and slide our way down the trail that we had just moments before been huffing and puffing to climb at a snail?s pace. Well, Kevin and I were puffing; Dominic was closer to skipping since he?s in fantastic shape after having biked for the past year with a heavy tandem bike over first the Rockies and now the Andes. We?re sure he could have made it with lots of time to spare to the refugio, but he was a good enough person to stick around with us. Plus, he and Kevin were hunting for the dragon that lived below the volcano while dodging the enemy mud men that would ensnare us in the caves along the trial. Yes, climbing volcanos in the rain with those two can be quite an adventure!
We made it back to your hostel at 5:30 and headed for a well-deserved dip in the hot baths after climbing for 8 hours. Our clothes and boots were caked in mud! I guess we were the mud men we had feared the whole time.
From Pete at HP on Sep 18th, 2007
Hi Kevin and Julie Too bad it rained, today's APOD is Tungurahua, from last year's eruption, http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
From Johnny Wrinn on Sep 19th, 2007
My colleague at work wanted to show me a pic today, ends up it's the volcano you two are exploring :) I am so envious of you both :)...and it hasn't gotten very cold yet...
From Kevin and Julie's RTW on Oct 1st, 2007
Thanks for the link Pete, it's our desktop image. Unfortunately, we didn't get close enough to see any volcanic activity.

Este é o terceiro romance de Edward Maitland, que foi precedido por The Pilgrim and the Shrine; or, Passages from the Life and Correspondence of Herbert Ainslie (O Peregrino e o Santuário; ou, Passagens da Vida e Correspondência de Herbert Ainslie, 1869), e por Higher Law: a Romance (Lei Superior: um Romance, 1871).
Edward Maitland acreditava que os contos então existentes sobre o futuro prediziam erroneamente que a ciência e a tecnologia iriam dominar e destruir a humanidade. Com esse romance ele tenta corrigir essa visão acerca da ciência e da tecnologia, apresentando uma futura sociedade transformada pela tecnologia em um novo Éden. Essa edição de 1876 inclui um prefácio de quatro páginas de Maitland, no qual ele defende seu livro das críticas de que era apenas uma obra derivada das obras The Coming Race (A Raça Vindoura; de Edward Bulwer-Lytton, uma das mais importantes obras de ficção científica, publicada em 1871) e Erewhon (novela de Samuel Butler).
A seguir as páginas de título, com uma foto da página de título principal, e os links para o texto completo da obra, em Html, em inglês.

"Its careful study of character, and the ingenuity and independence of its speculations, will commend it to the admiration even of those who differ from its conclusions most gravely." – British Quarterly Review.
(p. iii)
The Pilgrim and the Shrine and Higher Law present, respectively, the evolution of religion and morals out of the contact of the external world with the human consciousness, as well as that of the faculties themselves out of the lower instincts. Similarly, By and By presents a state of society in which the intuitions are promoted to their proper supremacy over tradition and convention. In endeavoring to exhibit the capacity of Nature to produce, unaided, and provided only that its best be given fair play, the highest results in character, and conduct, and faith, the purpose of the entire series shows itself to be no other than the rehabilitation of nature; a purpose supremely religious, inasmuch as to rehabilitate nature is to rehabilitate the Author of nature, – the failure of the work involving that of the maker.
To find a society resting solely on the intelligence and moral sense of its members, as developed by rational education, it was necessary to go to a yet far distant future. By and By, then, is an attempt to depict the condition of the world at a time when our own country, at least, shall have made such advance in the solution of the problems which harass the present, and shall be so far relieved of all disabling artifices, social, political,
(p. iv)
and religious, that individuals will be able, without penalty or reproach, to fashion their lives according to their own preferences, the sole external limitation being that imposed by the law of equal liberty for all.
To depict such a society without falling in the extravagances of Utopianism, certain conditions must be observed, the main one of which is that human nature be regarded as a "constant quantity." Whatever the progress made in knowledge and the art of living, all differences will be of degree, not of kind. Wherefore, unless the period taken be very much in advance of that contemplated in By and By, and altogether unthinkable by us, the conditions of existence will still necessitate the production of types varying widely in character and development, and therefore of lives consisting of efforts resulting more or less in alternating failure and success. No matter how severely scientific the training, there will still be a religious side to man's nature, a side through which the intuitions will seek towards their source, and deem it to be found in the eternal consciousness, inherent in the universe of being, that for them underlies all phenomena.
It must be expected that, as in the past, so in the future, there will be men endowed with a genius for that righteousness which recognizes a relation to the whole as well as to the part, and as liable under the influence of enthusiasm to transcend the bounds of strict sanity, and in their ecstacy to confound their spiritual imaginings with their physical perceptions, – as ever were founders of religions of old.
With regard to woman, it must be expected that no training will prevent the emotional from still predominating in her constitution, and retaining her in a position in respect to man relatively the same that she has ever held. It must be
(p. v)
expected, too, that the first choice of the ideal man of the future, as just described, will be the woman who most nearly for him represents nature, genuine and unsophisticated; that though he will find such nature very winning and sweet, he will also find it very perverse and wayward, and hard to arouse to a sense of the ideal; but because it is true and genuine, and loves its best, he will be tender and enduring to the end, no matter at what cost to himself. I must be expected that the conflict between soul and sense will still be illustrated in the facts and relations of life; that to much love much more will be forgiven than now, when the compulsion is that of the sentiments and not of law; and that while the selfishness, insincerity, and uncharity which characterize the mere conventional, will be the sole unpardonable sins, and a moral jar be held as justifying divorce, even these will be "vanishing qualities" under the gradual elimination form society of the conditions which favour their development.
It may be further surmised of such character as has been indicated, that, while differing from his prototypes of the past in being rich instead of poor, educated instead of untaught, married instead of single (for how else can he afford a complete example of the ideal life to others?), his enthusiasm expending itself on the practical, and his whole life illustrating the gospel, that man is to be redeemed by works, inasmuch as he has it in his power to amend the conditions of his own existence, he will not altogether escape the fate that has ever befallen those who have been enthusiasts for humanity, and that the sufferings which make perfect will not be wanting to him.
While our Romance of the Future thus becomes in a measure transformed into an allegory, and its characters present
(p. vi)
themselves under a typical aspect, it may surely be hoped that, whatever the view taken of details, the impression produced by the whole will be one of hopefulness as to the possibilities of humanity; and that it is not among what has been termed the "literature of despair," that By and By and its companion books can fairly be catalogued.

Pumpkinflowers: A Soldier's Story
By Matti Friedman
A book about young men transformed by war, written by a veteran whose dazzling literary gifts gripped my attention from the first page to the last. The Wall Street Journal
Friedman s sober and striking new memoir . . . [is] on a par with Tim O Brien s The Things They Carried -- its Israeli analog. The New York Times Book Review
It was just one small hilltop in a small, unnamed war in the late 1990s, but it would send out ripples that are still felt worldwide today. The hill, in Lebanon, was called the Pumpkin; flowers was the military code word for casualties. Award-winning writer Matti Friedman re-creates the harrowing experience of a band of young Israeli soldiers charged with holding this remote outpost, a task that would change them forever, wound the country in ways large and small, and foreshadow the unwinnable conflicts the United States would soon confront in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.
Pumpkinflowers is a reckoning by one of those young soldiers now grown into a remarkable writer. Part memoir, part reportage, part history, Friedman s powerful narrative captures the birth of today s chaotic Middle East and the rise of a twenty-first-century type of war in which there is never a clear victor and media images can be as important as the battle itself.
Raw and beautifully rendered, Pumpkinflowers will take its place among classic war narratives by George Orwell, Philip Caputo, and Tim O Brien. It is an unflinching look at the way we conduct war today."
This superb book is partly a history of the war, partly a personal memoir, and partly a work of political analysis. But mainly it is an effort to tell the story of the young men who fought to defend something the size of a basketball court not all of whom survived. Pumpkinflowers is rich enough to allow different readers to draw their own political conclusions, if they choose to draw them at all. Above all, it is a book about young men transformed by war, written by a veteran whose dazzling literary gifts gripped my attention from the first page to the last. Bret Stephens, The Wall Street Journal
Sober and striking on par with Tim O Brien s The Things They Carried its Israeli analog. The New York Times Book Review
phenomenal extremely moving Bari Weiss, The Wall Street Journal
Matti Friedman s powerful memoir of his IDF service in Lebanon in the late- 90s foreshadows the complexities of 21st-century warfare. The New York Jewish Week
Pumpkinflowers is a beautifully written, gut-wrenching book. a poetic account of an Israeli army veteran's time in southern Lebanon. Shelf Awareness
Friedman, a journalist and author of The Aleppo Codex, writes with great feeling and insight . The author s account of military life transcends the particulars of this tale. Christian Science Monitor
Powerful account of youthful Israelis maturing, fighting, and dying at a forgotten Lebanon outpost. In this limber, deceptively sparse take on the Middle East's tightening spiral of violence, Friedman combines military history and personal experience on and off the line in deft, observant prose. The narrative is reminiscent of novels by Denis Johnson and Robert Stone, linking combat's violent absurdity to the traumatized perspectives of individual participants. A haunting yet wry tale of young people at war, cursed by political forces beyond their control, that can stand alongside the best narrative nonfiction coming out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Remarkably educational and heartfelt: Friedman s experiences provide a critical historical perspective on the changing climate of war in the Middle East, shifting from short official conflicts into longer unwinnable wars full of guerilla tactics and the deliberate creation of media narratives and images. His lyrical writing, attention to detail, and personal honesty draw the reader into empathy along with understanding. Friedman s memoir deserves wide readership." Publishers Weekly, starred review
fast and engaging A compelling war memoir containing elements of terror, observation, boredom, and grim (at times absurd) humor. This is an excellent read Library Journal, starred review

Amazing vintage Fender tube tone in a modern, hand-wired package.
An updated version of the venerable tweed Pro that powered the inception and growth of rock 'n' roll, the hand-wired '57 Custom Pro-Amp replicates this classic tone with style. This Sonically flexible amplifier is built around a vintage all-tube circuit that offers increased headroom, allowing you to generate the crisp, crystal-clear clean tones that Fender aficionados know and love at higher volumes.
The original 5E5A circuit that powers the '57 Custom Pro-Amp is a Holy Grail circuit renowned for its tonal flexibility. The addition of a presence control adds adjustable upper harmonic overdrive to dial in just the right amount of 'sizzle' to your sound, making it come alive with depth and clarity. The interactive bass and treble controls grant this powerful amplifier even more sonic suppleness, allowing players to unleash their personal tone. The hand-wired circuit includes newly sourced yellow coupling capacitors chosen for authentic vintage Fender tone—sparkly cleans and creamy overdrive with smooth top end and round mids. A single 15-in. 8-ohm Eminence Legend speaker—powered by 28 watts of pure Fender tube tone—cranks out plenty of vintage tone with robust low end and vibrant highs with medium breakup when pushed.
The '57 Custom Pro Amp also sports the legendary warm, golden look of vintage tweed along with classic chickenhead control knobs, top-mounted controls, leather handle and dual 1/4-in. input jacks to accommodate both low and high output instruments. When you plug into the '57 Custom Pro-Amp, you're plugging into a piece of history—the veritable soul of rock 'n' roll. Includes a protective cover.

Safety of Alternative Approaches to Childbirth "Under no circumstances do the California data for 1989 and 1990 allow the obstetric profession to uphold the claim that for the large majority of low-risk women hospital birth is "safer" with respect to perinatal mortality. Our data also suggest that even for the high-risk levels of our Study Population the natural approach (including transfers) produces the same perinatal mortality outcomes as the obstetric approach.""Given no differences in perinatal mortality it must be noted that the natural approach shows significant advantages with respect to lower maternity care cost as well as reduced mortality and morbidity from unnecessary cesareans and other obstetric interventions, and significant benefits from avoiding negative long-term consequences from unnecessary obstetric interventions and procedures. These advantages of the natural approach are of such a large order of magnitude as to raise serious doubts concerning the appropriateness of conventional "obstetric" treatment for low-risk childbirth."Read the article

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Shares of security software makers rallied sharply Thursday, following a batch of strong quarterly earnings and Cisco's purchase of Perfigo for $47 million in cash. VeriSign VRSN, +0.17% shares led the advance, trading up 13.5 percent to $24.96, after the company reported a third-quarter profit of 16 cents a share, after a loss of 13 cents a year ago.

Symantec SYMC, +0.72% jumped 6.4 percent to $57.92, after a strong earnings report, news of a 2-for-1 stock split and a share buyback prompted an upgrade from Moors & Cabot.

When a coat does not do it anymore
Hello everyone! Is it still coat season around where you live?
Last week we have crossed into the winter Twilight zone (so to speak). My Mediterranean roots clash against the habit of some hard-core Canadian women who wear a heavy coat through most of the winter. For me, coats are now officially out.
This year I can fit again into my beloved Cube, as well as into my lighter Aspesi puffer. This circumstance fills me with happiness. But. This picture of Celine's FW13 ad campaign has been hunting me. The perfect balance between the coat's oversized shape and the handbag's refined structure. The sublime pairing of white and tan.
Even if it would be weather-appropriate, I cannot afford the coat (duh). I gave up the hunt for the perfect grey coat, and purchased a white puffer instead. I have a baby, am I crazy?

The sound of laughter echoed through the house. Women's voices rose and fell. Soft. Happy. Loving. Lissa Piner wandered over to the door, opened it and stood looking out into the darkness, carrying those sounds with her. She wanted everything about this evening to be imprinted on her brain for all time.
Her sisters of the heart, always in her heart. So cliché. So often used, but in this case, true. She couldn't love them any more if they'd been born of the same parents. She met them, of all places, in a therapy group for the survivors of family members violently murdered. They'd come together, six women, all lost, all broken, and discovered that together they were much stronger.
The wind tugged at her hair, and she turned her face up to the night sky, inhaling deeply. She loved storms. She loved the northern California coast where the six women had pooled their resources, bought a farm and, for the last five years, grown close and even prosperous together. Tonight though, the clouds roiled and churned, a dark ominous black, nearly blotting out the moon. Not enough that she couldn't see the bright red ring around the moon as it valiantly tried to shine behind the layer of clouds.
"A storm's coming," Blythe Daniels observed over her shoulder. She handed Lissa a cup of tea. She was tall and blond and towered over Lissa by quite a few inches. "Don't you love when the moon is full and has rings around it and the sky is so dark it almost looks purple?"
Lissa took a sip of her tea. There was something soothing about tea. She'd only just discovered the properties of tea when she'd come to live on the farm with the others. Tea seemed to be the go-to drink when things were difficult. "I do love purple in the clouds," she admitted, avoiding all discussion about the red rings and what they might mean. To her, they meant one thing – death. A violent death. Probably hers. She sighed softly and then forced a smile. She had to be so careful with these women. They all were very astute at reading one another.
"Come on, you two," Lexi called from across the room. She was the youngest sister, the one Lissa was the closest to and the most protective over.
Lexi had recently fallen in love, and Lissa still went from being grateful for the match to being a little worried. Gavriil Prakenskii was no ordinary man. He was rough, scarred, and very dangerous. He was also very protective of Lexi. That, Lissa really liked, especially now.
Blythe leaned in close to her. "Are you all right, Lissa? You're very quiet."
Lissa felt her stomach flutter. Her heart clenched, a curious and disturbing physical reaction to the certain knowledge that Blythe saw far more than anyone else. It had been Blythe's idea to band together and buy the farm. She'd been the driving force and she continued to be the one they all looked to.
"I'm always quiet," Lissa pointed out, with another small smile. One, she knew, that didn't reach her eyes. "Especially before a trip. This is a big one. I've got three hotels interested in my work. If I can get contracts with even one of them, let alone all three, we'll be sitting pretty for a long time." She turned away from the storm. Away from the night sky and the moon with its red rings that signaled danger and violence. "Who knew my chandeliers would take off across the world and I'd become famous for my art?"
She'd deliberately courted the European market. Still, she hadn't expected, in five years, to be so successful.
"You know, with the men adding money to the farm, we're not teetering every month on the brink of disaster. You don't have to work so hard, Lissa," Blythe said softly. "We all love you for it, but we're good now. We can all take a breath. Thanks to Lexi, the farm is doing better than ever. Rikki, Judith and Airiana make certain whatever the weather, our crops aren't adversely affected."
"Exactly," Lissa said, closing the door against the rising wind. "Rikki, Judith and Airiana ensure Lexi's crops thrive. You boost their power. That's the five of you working together to make the farm a success. What do I contribute? When I first started my business, you all helped me. You believed in me. This is my chance to give something back to the farm."
Blythe opened her mouth to protest, took one look at her face and closed it again. "We're all proud of you. The fact that three hotels are all vying for your chandeliers says you've made it."
"I haven't gotten the contracts yet," Lissa said, pouring enthusiasm into her voice. "I had to delay the trip by a couple of weeks and reschedule because two of the managers couldn't meet with me in the time I'd allotted for traveling. As it is, it will be tight."
"Still" – Blythe led the way back into the center of the living room – "it's exciting that you can visit so many countries in one trip and write it off legitimately."
"That's the best part," Airiana Prakenskii said. She had recently married Maxim Prakenskii and was in the process of adopting four children, siblings she and her husband had rescued from a human trafficking ring. "Writing your trip off on your taxes." She looked like a beautiful pixie with her natural platinum hair, large eyes and fragile appearance. She was anything but fragile. She was bound to air and worked for the defense department.
"I despise doing taxes," Rikki Prakenskii admitted. "I love to dive, and it's great getting paid for what I love doing, but then filing taxes makes it all a nightmare. Thank heavens for Lev. He totally understands all that."
Lissa smiled at Rikki as she sank into the chair opposite her. "I love that you call him Lev now and that all of you have agreed to take the last name Prakenskii."
Lexi shrugged. "Since Gavriil is living here and both he and Ilya use the name, why shouldn't all of them?"
"Don't you think it's a little crazy that all of you married Prakenskiis?" Lissa asked. She set her teacup carefully on the end table and folded her hands together, threading her fingers rather tightly.
"Absolutely crazy," Lexi agreed, "although, I'm not married."
"It's a matter of time," Lissa said. "Gavriil will put his ring on your finger, just the way he put his mark on your palm. Don't deny it. I've seen you rubbing your palm on your jeans. All of you do that."
"Sometimes it itches," Lexi said before she thought to deny it.
There was more laughter. Lissa loved the sound of her sisters laughing. There was genuine joy in them. They'd all started out so lost, so broken, especially Lexi. Intellectually, Lissa knew it was a combination of things that had changed for everyone. The way they united as a family, their farm and then the coming, one by one, of the Prakenskii brothers. "Why do you suppose all of you have settled down and fallen madly in love with Prakenskiis?" she asked.
"Hello," Judith emphasized. "Are you blind? They're just plain yummy." Judith was married to Stefan Prakenskii. Judith was nearly as tall as Blythe, with long flowing black hair, a legacy from her Japanese mother. She was an artist and did restoration of paintings as well as creating unique and beautiful kaleidoscopes.

Food! You can't have a wedding without food—well you can, but why on Earth would you want to? There are many ways to save tons of money when it comes to your wedding reception, especially if you are dedicated to staying true to your budget. By now, I am sure we have all heard the ancient proverb "It takes a village to raise a child…" well, for Frank and I, in our respective tribes you could say we never really reach true adulthood in our parent's eyes. Some days this placement within the tribal hierarchy can prove to be a charming nuisance, but on most days, it will prove to be a perfect reflection of Mother Nature's consistent nurturing of the life she created. That said…everyone has a family! —blood or water-based, your family is family…it's always tribal. Continue reading "50 mouths to feed on low-low wedding budget—7 Tips | #WeddedWednesday"

At the top of the list…a Jacuzzi. Continue reading "#WeddingTales | Hors d'oeuvres, Fine Wine and a Jacuzzi to Overflow"

Okay, so back to "How to live a fun & lavish life on a low-low budget?"
My intention is to always look my best and always be an unapologetic reflection—representation of my own light. Thus, I get to pick and choose at my own free will the trends and fades I indulge in, the places I go, the events I attend, and the spoils I spend my hard-earned coins on. Despite the fancy high-end price tags for generic sweatshop manufactured pieces and the glitz and glam of flashy lights, I choose my lavish.

RAIN on Our LOVE | #WeddedWednesday #ClearingDrafts
Our Malem was blessed with many showers of love, and although Wehe Ehimpe had settled around us with a Wanañi chill, all of our hearts were filled with warmth.
We chose to tie the knot amongst family and friends both golden and young, and two who've yet to witness the sunshine or the rain for the first time. The raindrops descended from the heavens upon our knot, and if you know anything about the physical tying and untying of knots—you know a wet knot is a pretty difficult knot to undo. Thus, I praise our stars as often as I can for validating our love, and seeing to it that it remains strong, unwavering and everlasting.

Wedding vs Marriage?¿ —#WeddedWednesday|#BrokeandBougie
"I don't really want to marry you, I just want a lavish wedding…" said someone somewhere boldy mmm…or possibly in confidence. . .
I'm not sure what's gotten into people nowadays, but we have an annoying tendency to insist on putting the cart before the horse. We rush down the aisle…and sometimes it is simply for the purpose of saying "We's married now!" The sad truth is—just because you performed a wedding ceremony and exchanged vows does not necessarily constitute that you are indeed married. Sorry, but not sorry to rain on anyone's parade—eh, it rained own our wedding day, and I couldn't have been more elated. Continue reading "Wedding vs Marriage?¿ —#WeddedWednesday|#BrokeandBougie"

Call me Suzy Who Dat? – El corazón de nuestra casa ♥
Frank has the tendency to consider me the best wife ever—well, of course, he's highly partial and truly bias, because I am his first and only wife. Nevertheless, most days I can truly say I do not feel as though the sentiment could be further from the truth. In reality, I couldn't be further from the Suzy Homemaker image. Truth be told I'm a far cry from her. And although, Frank assures me that we're just not that couple and he has no cares for a Suzy—I still take pride and much delight in His smile when he comes home from work to a shimmering home, homemade veggie potpie and a bowl of freshly baked blueberry muffins.

Hell has tried many times
to smother us when its flames failed to incinerate our celestial bodies, but we learned some eons ago to breathe with lack of air —all those fires gave us a glow—
one I dare say the heavens chose never to dim. Floods have risen to drown us both,
you learned to swim free of oxygen, limbs, and weightlessness with I upon your back—Oh! and seasons worth of quakes have come to rock the circumference of our world: they even shifted the earth beneath our feet, and still you managed to hoist me high above the trenches' deep, and with nothing more than my eyes, voice and your faithful Divinity you carried both you and I to the height
of a mountain that could not fall.
Forever yours,
♥Seaera Marie
#WeddedWednesday | Singing the Matrimony Blues
Did anyone order a rush delivery wedding? I did! I did!!!
Sooooooo the wedding is officially OFF! . . . well at least as far September 17th, 2016 is concerned. For a brief moment, upon being physically, mentally and spiritually forced to adult-up and make this seemingly impossible decision I was livid but more-so distraught. Now, I breathe a sigh of "Oh my god! what was I thinking trying to cram more hell into a hellish year"—relief.
Like everything else in Frank and I's topsy-turvy:way-to-fast:can-I-catch-a-breath lifestyle, our Celebration of Love was being rushed. And with only a month to plan the homestead wasn't ready thanks to those trees that fell that one time, my dress is still nothing more than yards of fabrics, no food has been planned, no flowers arranged, no MC or DJ summoned, no travel arrangements made …oh! and we can't forget—98% of the guest list has yet to be formally informed they are indeed guests… how's that for holy matrimony? more like holy hell right?!
To say the least, Frank wasn't happy about me settling for a thrown together shindig, and let's just say the Madres were a little-wee-bit uh, not really having our madness. Sooooo instead of tying cans to the back of someone's ole' stagecoach this month, we're kicking our ever-tumbling can on down the dusty trail once more! This time, we're landing in Spring! Eh, where I wanted it to be in the first place—yeah y'all remember all that jazz about wanting an April wedding and whatnot ^_^.
Never try to force an ocean to go with your flow, you'll only get lost in its waves.
Yup, well now I can truly say I'm super excited and beyond ready to get to the real planning! Of course, I'm taking you all along for the ride. And now that I actually have to time to fall in love with this wedding process, I have a bit of fun in store! So stay tuned for this new madness! and as always …
P.S. I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! :-*

The real story.
On a Tuesday morning in 2012 I was heading to work when I got a phone call from my dad. He told me my mom was killed by a big rig truck driver who was driving under the influence of meth and swerved into her lane, head on.
In the following days, months, and years, I learned a few very important things:
Few people talk openly about death, even though it is one of the most fundamental aspects to being alive.
Few people know how to support those who are grieving, and when they try it is often inappropriate or offensive.
Grief is messy, is far from linear, and is something we all share—whether it is grief for ourselves, for others, or for the world.
Our language and way of viewing death is often archaic and outdated. Why do we say "I lost my mom/sister/friend/dad/brother"? (Where did they go? Should we go looking for them?)
On the night of my mom's death I told myself the only way I would survive was by being honest and open with myself and others. When people asked how I was doing, I told them honestly, even if it meant admitting I was not doing well and stringing together expletives to describe it. Even if it meant drinking myself into a crying mess on Thanksgiving in front of my very religious never-touched-a-drop-of-alcohol grandma while giving zero fucks about it*; even if it meant going to a bar on my 23rd birthday with my older cousin, trying to keep up with his drinking, blacking out, sobbing about missing my mom on bar, being carried out of said bar, and waking up to a video of myself telling people they're "all gonna die"**. I would wear all of it— my pain, sadness, anger--openly for the people to see. This openness brought its share of criticism, sure. You don't get drunk every night and throw "fuck" into every sentence without getting a serious amount of side eye.
Through my willingness to share my experience I realized something else: almost everyone has a story of a friend or family member dying that has changed the way they see their mortality and the world.
Logically, this sounds like a "duh" statement, but in a culture where talking openly about death is taboo and shrouded in silence, this felt like a new discovery. Giving friends, family, and even strangers permission to share their story is what lead to the creation of this community.
Death Dialogue is a place to talk openly about death and dying. Here, I invite you to tell your own story around death, ask big questions — and maybe even the wrong ones — about life and death, examine your mortality, and reflect on the culture of dying both here and around the world. This is not a grief group —though your grief is welcome here— and you don't have to have had someone close to you die to be a part of this community.
Only requirement?
Be human!
Death is an inevitable part of life.
We're here to explore more of what that means.
In a world filled with messages of "live to eternity!", we instead acknowledge death as something normal and inevitable — though never easy — and as something worthy of a conversation. It's what makes us human. So let's talk about it.
*Yeah, that happened. And despite my differences with my grandma in how we move through the world, I adore her.
** That happened, too. A little embarrassed about it, but not ashamed. It's a part of my story.

CHICAGO (WLS) --The Canadian jihadi who went on a slashing spree at a Midwestern airport last summer was charged Wednesday in an expanded terrorism case, according to newly-filed court records obtained by the I-Team.
Amor M. Ftouhi, 50, of Montreal, Canada-who was previously indicted for charges relating to an attack on a Bishop Airport officer in Flint, Michigan-is now facing an additional offense of "committing an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries."
Federal investigators say Ftouhi entered the U.S. from Canada last June 16 for the purpose of killing government personnel. Authorities say the Tunisia native did online research of American gun laws and gun shows in Michigan. When Ftouhi was unsuccessful in purchasing a gun in Michigan he instead purchased a knife, federal agents say. It was a 12-inch knife with an 8-inch serrated blade.
During the airport attack, he allegedly walked up to a uniformed lieutenant with the Bishop Airport Authority and stabbed him in the neck with a knife. Ftouhi yelled "Allahu akbar" witnessed said and referenced killings in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. The police officer, Lt. Jeff Neville, survived the knife attack.
When in custody, law enforcement officials say Ftouhi told them he was a "soldier of Allah" and a follower to the ideology of al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.
The initial charge of airport violence and interfering with security personnel was supplemented on Wednesday by an unusual federal indictment charging Ftouhi with "committing an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries." U.S. prosecutors said the Montreal resident crossed into the U.S. for the purpose of killing government personnel...and that during the attack he also shouted down killings in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
According to the newly filed court record, Ftouhi also had a jungle hunter machete and a tactical baton.
He repeated the jihadist battle cry of "Allahu akbar"-Arabic for God is the greatest-several times while appearing in federal court during an appearance last summer. He pleaded not guilty on the original charges of airport violence and interference with security screen personnel. He has not yet been to court on the new charge of committing an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries.
He is currently being held without bond in the federal lockup at Milan, Michigan.
If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.

Fine - cute - and shooting yourself in the foot.
Whereas the sweet rivalry of last year was fun (at the beginning at least), the last thing someone as prestigious, classy, and well-established as Abdul Rahman Hallab needs is some puns which really do not go along with its original brand feels.
Gentlemen, leave that to Douaihy which has gone cheapo now with its "7elou" (which is being plastered left and right), and focus on your own intrinsic heritage.
Some things separate the men from the boys - please refrain from playing silly catch up games with kids.

That Time I Almost Gave Up
20 comments:
I love this, and I think you perfectly encapsulate what non-writers don't feel: that NEED to write. I absolutely understand what you mean by "it's my life." Of course it isn't "just writing."ReplyDelete
Kudos to you for not giving up!!
Thanks for sharing this. I've been going through some of the same feelings. As much as I love to write, I don't know if I'll ever succeed professionally. But I love writing so much I can't give it up. It's great to read a post by someone who feels the same way.ReplyDelete
Thank you for writing this post. I have felt like this on so many occasions. But I think you're like me. If I couldn't write, I might as well just die!!! It is my life, too.ReplyDelete
This. So. Much. This. Beautiful and true. <3ReplyDelete
Thanks for that! It's exactly the way I'm feeling at the moment, so it's nice to know I'm not alone...ReplyDelete
I can only echo what everyone else has already said. I finally talked to a friend today about this same exact thing. It's torture sometimes, but I can't get myself to stop. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I say this all the time. Writers are amazing creatures to do what we do because we have to do it -- not because we get paid to. You echo my thoughts exactly. Well done.ReplyDelete
I needed to read this today. Thank you.ReplyDelete
not everyone who wants to be a writer - or says they want to be a writer - becomes published. (and let's not even go into the people who DO get published and it doesn't go the way they'd hoped.) writing is hard and getting published is harder. but I do believe that the ONLY sure way to NOT get published is to give up. When I feel like giving up I just go ahead and imagine it. I tell myself, I could give up, tomorrow. I could do something else. and the future I imagine for myself is so unappetizing, so *wrong* that I make a conscious decision NOT to give up. I don't know if that will change in the future, but that's what I feel now. I am really glad you didn't give up :)ReplyDelete
Good for you for picking yourself back up again. :) It sounds like you went through some disappointing stuff, and it's really inspirational to see you dig deep and deal with it so well. With this attitude, I'm sure better things are on their way. <3ReplyDelete

This might be a answer to Stepahani "unadorned and sleezy comment" Just how dare uReplyDelete
render this type of an argument whichs suggests that a misuse
victim deserves misuse because of their intimate background
or in investments? A whole lot of abused females grow up in sexually rigid households and that is normally
sheltered and scheming or abusive. To stereo
means abused females as some low lifestyle that deserves to
be abused is truly a low blow. Misuse is definitely a
learned attitude which effects females of all societal and economical backrounds.
To here a comment like that from another women really will
make me ill!

I understand this totally. Some days all I want to do is throw in the towl and give up. It is so emotionally draining and almost hurts me to write since I never think that I will end up being good enough for the dreams I want to achieve. It is one of my greatest fears to not be able to fulfill those goals to just like you be able to say with a book in my hands, "See? I did it. That right there..That tangible thing? That is mine."ReplyDelete
God, I hope that I am good enough to get there...I have doubts every day about it. But most of the times maybe after a few minutes, or and hour, or days...I finally pick myself back up and sit myself at my computer and just keep my fingers typing all over again. Because that is what I do. It is my life...It is going to be apart of me forever...and I really really hope that I am good enough every day, but I just keep on writing. I know that I feel lost without it. So, I write...
Heather Marie, I could have written this post. Never in my life have I read something that so clearly related my own feelings. Never in my life have I read something and felt my heart jolt so violently and think, "This is me. This is ME."ReplyDelete
You're so brave to share it! Thank you.

here are times when things affect both the Employment and Personal areas of your life.
Do you have concerns with these issues?
My job isn't satisfying anymore, but I've been there a long time.
My new boss makes my workday seem like an eternity!
I have so many Personal things going on in my life that they are affecting my Employment.
I get many different opinions from well-meaning friends and relatives, but I need objective (yet concerned) third
party advice.
I don't know how to balance my Employment demands and my Personal demands.
Why am I so down? Is it my job-or something in my personal life?
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who has problems, and everyone else is too busy with their own life to
care about mine.
My self-esteem has been really bad lately. I don't feel good about myself-do I even have any good points?
Everything I try to do to get ahead ends up in failure. How do I get back in the Winner's Circle?
Since my last relationship failed, I can't seem to concentrate. What's wrong with me?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, we need to talk! Even though COG specializes in two distinct
areas of assistance, many clients end up with a blend of both Employment Counseling and Personal
Life Coaching help.
We can design a program for you to get you out of the ditch and back on the road, and at a cost that
will be affordable.
Remember-it really isn't a COST-it is an INVESTMENT, which will pay huge dividends!

Is this role right for me?
To do this role, you will need to:

- Have wide experience of the post production process
- Be familiar with a variety of computer editing equipment
- Understand dramatic storytelling to create rhythm, pace and tension
- Be creative under pressure
- Have imagination and an understanding of narrative

What does a Film Editor do?
Editors are one of the key Heads of Department on feature films, responsible for First Assistant Editors, and on bigger productions, Second Assistants and Trainees.
The Editor works closely with the Director, crafting the daily rushes into a coherent whole. To ensure that the story flows effortlessly from beginning to end, each shot is carefully chosen and edited into a series of scenes, which are in turn assembled to create the finished film.
Editors work long, unsociable hours, often under pressure, in an edit suite. They are employed on a freelance basis by the Producer (sometimes with the approval of the film's financiers), based on their reputation and experience. Editors often work on television drama, as well as on feature films.
SIGN-UP FOR EDITING 101 WORKSHOP https://tammydelefilms.com/category/editing-101/
The Editor works closely with the Director before shooting begins, deciding how to maximise the potential of the screenplay. Editors check the technical standards, as well as the emerging sense of story, and the actors' performances.
Because scenes are shot and edited out of sequence, Editors may work on scenes from the end of the film before those at the beginning, and must therefore be able to maintain a good sense of how the story is unfolding.
Editors select the best takes and edit them together to create scenes. In some cases, an improvised line or an actor's interpretation of their role may create some on-screen magic that can be developed into a new and exciting scene.
During the post production period, the Editor and the Director work closely together, refining the assembly edit into the Director's Cut, which must be approved by the Producers, until they achieve picture lock or Fine Cut (when the Director and/or Executive Producer give final approval of the picture edit).
Editors usually work in a supervisory role during the subsequent music and track laying, and sound mix.
What's the best route in breaking into film?
Traditionally, you could go from being a Runner to a Trainee, Second Assistant, First Assistant and eventually to become an Editor. However, with digital editing, 2nd Assistants are now only employed on very big budget films.
As a Trainee with at least two years' experience you would have to work as an Assistant in television or on low budget films for a considerable period of time before becoming First Assistant on feature films. Some big budget productions take on Trainees and Second Assistants, and it is important to keep up to date with films in pre-production by reading the trade press.
If you can work with an Editor as an Assistant, you may be allowed to carry out the assembly edit of some sections of the film. If you can become an experienced Assistant, you may also work as an Editor on short films, which will enable you to showcase your talents.

You can take a basic editing course and then start creating and editing projects. No one will hire you unless they see some of your work. The more you edit the better you become. Sign up for an editing course and get started today.
