Despite having an unspectacular performance during yesterday's 7-4 comeback win over the Cincinnati Reds, Kyle Hendricks still won the ERA title. His ERA of 2.13 is the best in baseball, the Chicago Cubs are the best in baseball heading into the post season and they have a four day rest before the post season starts for the storied franchise.
"At this point in my career, now it's all said and done, definitely got to sit back and reflect a little bit on it," Hendricks said. "I just personally never thought I'd be in this situation. … But behind that number, getting guys out, there's a lot that goes into that. Defense, I'm such a pitching-to-contact type of guy. Defense has to play for me, and catchers, they're a big part of it too, just preventing runs. So couldn't have done it without all of those guys."
Whether the lanky pitcher wins the Cy Young or not, he's had an incredible season emerging into a great ace on a solid pitching staff. Sometimes I wonder just how good he'd be on another club, say Atlanta? Being on a team that's as good as the Cubs are, only adds to his growing legend.
Now that the Cubs have won 103 games and have the best record since 1910, what will the guys do for the week as they prepare to face the winner of the National League Wild Card game set for Wednesday? They'll either face San Francisco Giants or the New York Mets. Personally, I'd like to see go head to head with the Mets. The Cubs have some unfinished business to do against that team and for some reason I think they'll have an easier time than the always frustrating Giants.
"This is 2016, so [the Giants] are going to be tough to beat, no doubt," Anthony Rizzo said. "And with the Mets, the experience they gained last year — so that'll be a fun game to watch, especially with [Noah] Syndergaard and [Madison] Bumgarner, I'm sure they're both going to throw 200 pitches each if they have to. It's fun for baseball, those Wild Card Games, and we're happy we're not partaking in that this year, that anxiety and stress level."
Ah yes, that stress level of the one and done, loser go home playoff scenario has gathered the ire of many baseball executives and fans alike but until the baseball brass fix the series to a more fair three game event, manacurists will continue to have their busiest season in October.
So, what does Joe Maddon have up his sleeve?
"The boxes have been checked in the regular season," Maddon said. "We won the division, we stayed relatively healthy, we've played well. … All this stuff we talked about in camp regarding embracing the target and dealing with the pressure, we've done all those things."
There's only one thing left to do.
"We're ready," Rizzo said. "Everyone is pretty much healthy. It's just about going out and executing now."
Believe it.

Here's a comment by UGA Prof. Joseph J. Sabia a Prof. at UGA as he testified before the Senate earlier this week:
Minimum wage advocates argue passionately that no one who works hard and plays by the rules should be poor. I agree, as do most Americans. But, I also agree with Milton Friedman that good intentions are not enough to make good policy. The real test of this legislation is how its passage will impact the working poor. Here the evidence is clear – past minimum wage increases have not alleviated poverty and this legislation will not do so either.

Celine Dion new song since husband's death
Pop queen Celine Dion announced her first new song on Wednesday since the death of her husband and manager Rene Angelil as she mourns him through music.
According to her website, "Encore Un Soir," which means "One More Night," will come out in several days as the first track of her next album,
The song is an homage to her late husband, the French celebrity site Tele Star said.
The song will come out on May 24 as Dion opens nine concerts in Paris, the magazine Paris Match reported.
The bilingual star — one of the most successful artists of all time with more than 220 million albums sold — is also due to perform Sunday at the Billboard Music Awards in her adopted home of Las Vegas.
Angelil died in January at age 73 following a long struggle with throat cancer.
VIDEO: Man fight wife with 7-year old son because of another woman
The pop Superstar returned to her concert residency in Las Vegas six weeks after her husband's death in keeping with his wishes.
In an interview broadcast Wednesday with ABC television's "Good Morning America," Dion said that she thought of her late husband when singing "The Show Must Go On."
She said that in their last conversation, she told him not to be concerned about her or their three children together.
"I started to talk to him and I said, you know what, I want you to just go in peace," she said. "I want you to not worry."
PHOTOS you will never want to be tagged in
Dion's brother Daniel died of the same type of cancer two days later.
"I said to myself, 'For his birthday, my husband came and got my brother because my brother was too weak to fly on his own,'" she said.

08/17/2017: -2.2 pounds
Total lost: 51.2 pounds
Current Weight: 178.8 pounds
Finally... I finally hit my 50 pounds loss (and 1.2 pounds over that) which put me in the upper 170s and slightly more than half way to my goal! I haven't been in the 170's since around 2005!
This also means that I have officially lost more than I have left to lose, and that I've lost 19.8 pounds in the 10 weeks that I've been doing low carb/keto without cheating!!
My size 12 jeans are getting looser and looser every day but the 10's don't fit yet so I'm a little stuck there (unless I want to looking for new jeans which I don't because I've worn the same brand and type of jeans for several years now and I love them) so I'm just going to live with the loose jeans for now.
It's almost hard for me to believe that I've stuck with the no cheating things for 10 weeks (actually 70 days today!) but at the same time I feel like I can keep going indefinitely! I basically have one planned cheat for Christmas day (which is still quiet a bit away) and the whole plateau thing is up in the air because I haven't hit that point yet.
As well as sticking to the eating plan this week I've also hit my steps goals on all but 2 days and I've continued to stick with the yoga challenge. Now I just need to start up my serious workouts again (hopefully tomorrow) and get back to work on my current dog commission.
Oh, and I'm only 9 pounds away from being out of the "obese" BMI and into the "overweight" and I can't wait!
This is THE plan for me and I'm not about to change that!!

Cultivate.Love starts today!
"How much an hour?" says the soft, wavering voice on the phone – I try to keep my voice steady.
I explain how much I charge for individual therapy, my waiting list for reduced fee spots, I offer to help find therapists who take her insurance and other lower cost options. I hang up the phone and feel myself sweating through my shirt.
I put my cold hands on my face and try to breathe deeply, just like I teach so many times a day, "inhale through your nose the whole way down to your tummy…pause…exhale slowly out your mouth, starting by emptying your lungs, then your torso, again the whole way down to your stomach."
There has to be a better way. I love being my own boss, I love creating a business and offering a specialized service. I love making my own hours, flexing to offer what I think will be most helpful for any person or family (Bring your dog! or Why don't I come see the bedtime routine?).
What I don't love is the cold calculation of affording my daughter's ballet lessons, of peering at a monthly ledger with a sinking feeling, of hearing my mentor's voice in my ear "you need to hustle."
And writing this, I visualize all the future commenters, as harsh as the voices in my head, "you could work for a non-profit, you could charge less an hour, you could accept insurance, you could, you could, you could."
You are all correct. There are a million things I could do. And I want to give you all the reasons, all the rationalizations for how I got here, why I do what I do. And bottom line, those reasons mean very little. We can create reasons for everything and against everything. So let's skip all the reasons. And focus on what you and I want to create of our lives and for our world.
Here's what I know. Finding the right therapist is difficult, therapy is expensive, and growth is hard work.
So I sweat through a lot of shirts…then I decided I wanted to do more, I wanted to create a piece of a solution. So today is the start of Cultivate.Love
Cultivate.Love is a space dedicated to teaching people how to open their hearts, step out of their minds, and engage in compassionate lives. You can find free, flexible tools for helping you increase your mindfulness and compassion with the goal of improving both your own life and the world around you.

Denver, Colorado
Full Moon UFO Camping Party on the Cosmic Highway
Join us under the full moon to kick off October with a night of camping, pizza, glow-in-the-dark space punch, alien costume contests, extraterrestrial movie trivia with prizes, and an exclusive tour of the UFO Watchtower.
With UFO sightings dating back to the 1600s, catching a flying saucer beaming around the "Cosmic Highway" of the San Luis Valley isn't all that uncommon — especially if you're camping out at a UFO Watchtower built next to two vortexes.
Judy Messoline, who first moved to Colorado in 1995 to raise cattle, developed a curiosity for the countless UFO stories told to her by locals. She eventually abandoned the cattle ranch, and in 2000, she built a 10-foot-tall UFO Watchtower for up to 60 people to gather on and watch the sky.
Join us for an exclusive tour of the watchtower with Judy and then stick around for a night of camping, pizza, glow-in-the-dark space punch, alien costume contests, and extraterrestrial movie trivia with prizes.

San Diego
Finding the perfect cruise deals from San Diego has never been easier! Here's where you can browse and book a range of cruises from the Californian city - and get great prices with up-to-date specials, sales and packages. Whether you're looking for a last-minute cruise or an all-inclusive holiday, you've come to the right place.
Located right down in the south of California, San Diego is a hotspot of sun, sand and laid-back fun. It's warm and breezy, friendly and fun-loving, and it's a great place to get your holiday started on the right foot. Although overshadowed by Los Angeles and San Francisco to the north, the city tends to charm all those who make the journey.
San Diego will keep you busy with its famous zoo, SeaWorld, Legoland and a plethora of places to eat, shop and learn. Of course, there are also the natural seaside attractions: beaches galore, the pretty harbour, surf and a plethora of watersports. A cruise out of San Diego just extends your fun in the sun, swapping city streets for ship decks and keeping the vibe going long after your departure.
The more traditional cruisers will love the chance to take a Holland America cruise out of San Diego, on one of the several vessels in the fleet which sail from there. Celebrity Cruises also offer San Diego departures, and their ships give passengers the opportunity to pick their own holiday style, from a basic and cheaper cruise to a premium all-inclusive package. The Princess cruise line, P&O cruise line and Royal Caribbean cruise line occasionally pass through the area from time to time.
Where might your ocean voyage take you? Cruises to Mexico are common, with some continuing into South America or through the Panama Canal into the Caribbean. Hawaii is another popular destination for cruises from San Diego, and some may head north as far as Canada or Alaska.
Cruise ships in San Diego dock at the B Street Cruise Terminal, near the foot of West Broadway on North Harbor Drive. It is very close to the city centre, the Maritime Museum of San Diego, the USS Midway Museum, Little Italy, Seaport Village and Waterfront Park. The terminal is wheelchair accessible and a comfortable place to wait, with staff on hand to help.
The SantaFe Depot Amtrak station is a short walk from the San Diego cruise terminal, and you can also catch the light rail here on the green or orange lines. Taxis are also readily available. The airport is only 3 miles from the cruise terminal.

kim + andrewFiled in weddings shot by Ayres Photography on at
I think it's safe to say that Spring is really here, judging by all of the new life that we're seeing in our gardens; however, after you've lived in upstate/western New York all of your life, you come to terms with the fact that it's never actually "safe" to say anything regarding the weather. Honestly? We could have a huge snowstorm with three feet of snow tomorrow, and I would not be at all shocked. Depressed and horrified, yes, but shocked? Not in the slightest. The ridiculously unpredictable weather that we have around these parts does have its benefits, though. It has helped me to live a life that is more "in the moment," because it is entirely possible that we will have a sunny Spring-y day today, and have massive amounts of snow on the ground tomorrow. For example, today (as soon as I finish my blogging, of course) we're going to spend the day outside, raking up leaves and preparing our garden beds for the growing season. We're going to walk our dog in the woods, together, with no coats, hats, or gloves…maybe we'll bring our cameras along, and maybe we won't…but, we'll be together. Even though I have a ridiculous amount of work to do (as always), we're making the conscious decision to put that on hold – just for today – so that we can enjoy the precious warmth of the sun, that we've been missing for so long. Life is so short…the work will all still be there tomorrow, but this gorgeous and amazingly warm sun may not. How many chances will I have in this life to spend the first warm day of Spring outside with Ben and Lily? There will always be more work to do, than chances to spend time with those you love. Take advantage of those chances whenever you can. :)
Our first wedding of 2011 was a tremendous success (as well as a rip-roarin' good time)!! Kim and Andrew are sweet, kind, easy-going people, with HUGE hearts – the kind of people who make us LOVE doing what we do. Theirs was the kind of wedding day that makes us forget that we're actually working, because we're having so much fun doing it. I love it when we have days like that.
I started out the day at Kim's parents' house to document some getting ready action. :)
It was quite the cold, snowy, February day, but no one seemed to really notice. :) Andrew and the guys made a quick stop at the Hyatt to drop off their cars, and get picked up by the limo. Ben was there to grab a few shots before the limo arrived. This was definitely my favorite!
Ben grabbed these next two shots at the church, and I am totally in love with BOTH.
How amazing is this banner?? I cracked up when I saw this being marched down the aisle! There is so much to love about this shot…
After the ceremony, we headed back over to the warmth of the Hyatt to grab a few portraits. All of these are super fun. :) Then, it was over to Pearl Street, where we grabbed a few more quick portraits before heading in…LOVE these. The details and decor were seriously INCREDIBLE. The chandelier added a touch of elegance, as did the whole black and white theme…just GORGEOUS! The black and white themed candy bar was off the chain…no other way to describe it…truly. Oh, and yogurt cover malted milk balls are, like, my favorite kind of candy EVER. Well, pretty much yogurt covered ANYTHING is my favorite. Kim's dad made this awesome cake!! How cool is that? I totally love the kitty cake toppers, too (I have a minor cat obsession).
This was the first time I have seen anyone use paper lanterns at a Pearl Street wedding, and I was LOVING it! It looked amazing! Sooooooo, if you're having your wedding at Pearl Street, this is most def something to consider. :)
The dance floor was jammin'!! There were some CHARACTERS at this wedding, for REAL. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Seriously though, Kim and Andrew, your family and friends are all so fantastic. We had a blast. :) Kim and Andrew in their photo booth…LOVE it. It was maybe 15 degrees that night, but we managed to grab just a few night shots for good measure. ;)
Kim and Andrew – thanks SO much for allowing us to tell the story of your wedding day with our cameras! We had such an amazing time!! You guys are a wonderful couple, and we wish you both all the very best! :)
Linda Dewiel SAYS...
Oh my goodness the wedding pictures were BEAUTIFUL! I am
going to recomend them to toni/shawn! LOOKED like fun! If I was felling better I would have crashed it! God Bless! Mrs Dewiel LINDA!
Miquel SAYS...
i loveee their candy bar!! pearl st is the best for weddings!! it looked like a beautiful day!! :) Congrats to the happy couple!
Ayres Photography SAYS...
You're so welcome, Kim and Andrew! It was totally our pleasure to be a part of your amazing wedding day!! :)
Kim and Andrew SAYS...
Thank you both for doing such a great job. You were truly a pleasure to work with! We have received SO many compliments on our photos… for good reason! Thank you!
Ayres Photography SAYS...
Thank-you, Frank!! So glad you like them! You're the best. ;)
Frank Giardina SAYS...
Beautiful and fun… great work!!! My eyes are happy :)

Pink is the new black
Spring always has me thinking pink. I spend the fall and winter months in a uniform of black booties, dark jeans, my black leather jacket and a dark manicure to match. But, as soon spring comes I ditch my gothic (ish) attire and am instantly inspired to bring colour back in to my wardrobe, pink in particular! I don't know if the warmer weather and sunshine just makes me happy, or if it's the beautiful pink magnolias and cherry blossoms in bloom (not to mention it means the start of peony season) but, my daily attire turns much more pink (see my hubby and I bringing out the pink at a recent charity gala). Since I always connect fashion trends with interiors, I started to think about pink spaces, which I'm sure sounds a little scary for some people. When I decided I wanted to do a post on pink I have to admit even I was a little scared of what I came across doing my image research. A barrage of rooms that basically sum up my husbands (not to mention my own) worst nightmare! Everything that has given the idea of a pink interior a bad rep: the wrong tones, overuse and just general tackiness, I thought I may have to think of a new subject. However, after a lot of continued searching I finally found a range of spaces that reminds me why when used appropriately, it is one of the best colours to work with. While lighter tones give a more soft, feminine and sensual effect, brighter tones are energetic, fun and playful. When paired with a dark contrast colour (dark blues or charcoals) it can even give a space a masculine edge. If you want to incorporate pink into your home home here are a few tips:
1. If you're painting, be sure to paint a large tester patch and live with it for a few days to make sure it's the right tone for you. The paint always looks different on the wall that it does in the paint fan.
2. Create balance! Don't just throw one pink pillow on a sofa and call it a day. Even if you only want to use the colour sparingly, make sure to accessorize throughout the room in different areas so that the colour addition makes sense and doesn't appear random.
3. If you don't want things to get too feminine, opt for a more coral tone of pink (this also pairs well with orange) or use a dark contrast colour as mentioned above.
4. If you want to go all out, chose a pink that isn't too saturated. This will make it much easier to live with.
5. Have fun with colour! If you're not ready for a long term commitment it's easy to pick accessories that you can switch out with the seasons.

8/13/2010: Kosuke Fukudome, Kenshin Kawakami, Ryota Igarashi
by Gen on Aug.13, 2010 @ 2:34 pm, under MLB
Games from the 12th:
Giants 8 - Cubs 7
Kosuke Fukudome started in right and batted third. He went 2-for-5: strikeout swinging, single to right, strikeout swinging, RBI double to right-center, ground out to first.
Fukudome is now just one hit away from 1,500 career NPB + MLB hits.
Akinori Iwamura went 0-for-4 with a walk against the triple-A Norfolk Tides on the 12th. He started at third and batted second.
Sponichi also has an article that mentions Iwamura considered retirement at one point (doesn't really specify when) but decided to keep going. The article also mentions that when Iwamura accepted his demotion to the minor leagues, he also decided to go it without an interpreter. And it seems this move has helped Iwamura build more confidence in himself.
Kenshin Kawakami gave up 2 runs (one earned) on 5 hits (including a solo homer) against the triple-A Rochester Red Wings on the 12th. Kawakami took the loss and is now 0-1 in three triple-A starts. Final line: 59 (35) NP (S), 17 BF, 3 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO, 1 HR.
Ryota Igarashi was added to the MLB roster on the 12th. Igarashi told reporters he was able to make the adjustments he needed to make and that he was now throwing the ball in a manner in which he wanted to.

Manchester's Northern Quarter is probably my favourite part of Manchester. There are just so many quirky shops, bars, cafes and restaurants and I always feel so inspired when I go there. The area just oozes cool from the artwork you find on the streets to the people who are there. It's just got good vibes!
Trying to pick my top 5 places was hard because I just love the whole area! I've picked a mix bunch of places which are my faves and have good memories attached to them too. Whenever I go to NQ, I always have a good time. Whether that's going for food, to drink to shop or to work; I genuinely think it's not possible to have a good time there!
My Top 5 Places in the Northern Quarter:
Afflecks Palace
Is it even possible to do a post on the NQ without mentioning Afflecks Palace? This is honestly one of the coolest places. There's such a mix of shops and people there are it just screams individuality and creativity. I remember the first time going here and just been blown away by how different it was. There's an eclectic mix of shops, artists, cafes and tattoo places and there is definitely something for everyone here!
Dusk Til Pawn
If you're looking for a unique little bar to go to, then this is the place to go! From the outside, it looks like an old pawn shop but you go in and it is a really cool bar which does some gorgeous cocktails and really nice wine. It's not the biggest bar but it's got real character and good vibes.
This is one of my go to work places when I want to get blogging or uni work done. Ziferblat is a really original place; instead of paying for your drinks and food, you pay 8p per minute and can have as much tea and cake and food as you like. I just love how you really feel at home there but I always feel quite productive there too! It's also a really good way to try out different flavoured teas because they have so many different types.
Looking for a quirky gift? Head to Oklahoma because there is the most random, but awesome, mix of things in this shop. From flamingo statues to art prints there is something for everyone in there. I love going and having mooch about and just seeing all of the different things and getting ideas for peoples presents!
This is one of my go to lunch places as well as when you're looking for somewhere to go for a drink. They have a fantastic little lunch menu with some gorgeous slider burgers (I mean, who doesn't love eating mini burgers) to pizzas there is a really good mix of food. They also have really good drinks there and the interiors are to die for! It's completely copper and is just fab and I love it!
Let me tell you, it was hard to choose just 5 places in the Northern Quarter because I love so many other places too. Let me know in the comments where you love to go in the NQ because I'm always on the look out for new places to visit!

Stuck in someone else's frames? break free!
Obtain a large test tube that can be corked. Mix at least three sizes of gravel, some sand, and mud together. Place the mixture in the tube, and fill it with water. Cork and invert the tube.
You will see that as the materials fall through the water, the larger materials settle quickly at the bottom, medium sizes settle in the middle, and fine silt settles slowly at the top.
Rivers, streams, and oceans carry sediments and deposit them on the basis of weight and size.
See what
you can find out directly:
Examine the grains with a hand lens or binocular microscope (if one is available) and identify and classify the differences in types of grains making up each sample.
You might
work out the percentage of each kind and hypothesize where the various
grains came from. If possible, return to the seashore at later date, and
collect samples from the same locations. Compare these samples with the
previous ones to see if there are any changes.

I'm confused, shouldn't some of these posts be moderated according to the rules and guidelines of the Ledge. I'm often baffled as to how it's allowed to continue, as there are so many posts that are inflammatory and seem to only have the intent of provoking other readers. And now hateful sexist remarks are ok? :confused:
From the FAQ
- If all you have to add are harrassing, insulting, taunting, nasty remarks or name-calling, you'll be asked to go somewhere else. Taunting is defined as "aggravation by deriding, mocking, criticizing or carping".
• Any statement that defames, abuses or threatens others
• Derogatory statements that could be construed as bigoted, hateful or racially offensive or comments defaming sexual orientation
• In expressing your devotion to one member of Fleetwood Mac, please try to avoid belittling the accomplishments of the others.
Surely some of these posts could be regarded as trolling?
a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement.
How typical. For years, Lindsey was targeted by the Stevie fans, who blamed him for everything. They would always get their digs in and make fun of him. Now their queen has exposed herself, and she is getting targeted.
Fake outrage to shut people up. No rules were broken. You just don't want to hear opinions that aren't like yours.
As has been said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with expressing displeasure at band members and having disagreements. If you want to target Stevie that's up to you. However there is a line to be drawn regarding what is or is not acceptable. Espousing burning Stevie is unacceptable in my view. You may not actually mean that you would like to see her burned to death but that is essentially what you are suggesting. It is a crime to advocate murdering somebody so I'd say rules are being broken.
All this because she's decided she doesn't wish to record an album with your favourite band. Put things into some context- if her actions are enough to solicit such feelings in you then that's really quite disturbing- perhaps some inward reflection is warranted. As is always the case, its easy to sit there at your computer and type sh!t you'd never say directly to somebody in person.
By the way, I'm not familiar with the term 'snowflake'. It does however feel as if it has implied homophobic undertones. Perhaps I'm taking it in the wrong way though.
I wasn't on this board at that time, so I don't have any experience of that particular Lindsey bashing.
You have reacted very strongly to what I thought was a straight forward post. Believe me, it's definitely not fake outrage. I've honestly seen numerous posts within the last year that I don't believe comply with the rules of this board, and don't make it a very welcoming place to be, and I'm enquiring about that. No one is asking anyone to shut up.
And if snowflake is supposed to be an insult towards me that's fine - I happen to love snow, and snowflakes are beautiful in my world :)
The last is a more grey area and in fact it's assembled more as an advice than a rule. In those cases it's hard to draw a line between what constitutes a violation and what doesn't, and there's a fine line between preserving the peace and overmoderating too.
Generally the politics of this board tries to leave to members the most freedom of expression possible because it's best to exceed on the side of freedom than on the side of constraint.
I'm not too sure what "snowflake" means these days..
But it's origin goes back to 1860..and was a term used for someone who was against the abolition of slavery...
Apparently, it's also used on this board as a term for anyone who calls 'fans' out on their Stevie bashing. It's just another way to be nasty. :mad:
From Wikipedia
thanks Lulu.
Thanks for the explanation sisternightroad, I'm sure it can be a difficult task deciding when posts have stepped over the line, and I understand you don't want to overmoderate.
I guess we'll just have to all keep arguing then :shrug:;)
And thanks for all the explanations of the term "snowflakes". I had some idea of it's recent usage. Snowflakes really are beautiful though - I've just been looking on google images (no images of sensitive young adults on there) . We rarely get snow here, so when it does fall it's a magical event.
If anyone with an interest in basic human decency is considered a 'snowflake' then...
...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
I know we are going a bit off-topic here (although it makes a change from the Stevie bashing....)
I watched a great TED talk the other day on highly sensitive people - for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi4JOlMSWjo
It kind of turns the whole derogatory, overly sensitive snowflake thing, on its head.

Your baby is 39 weeks old!
This week you may start to notice the first signs of little tantrums appearing.
You may witness your baby becoming cross if a toy is taken from him. or wriggling away from you as you dress him and making his feelings known. Tantrums won't really appear yet, but as your baby's independence grows, so does his frustration at not being able to do exactly what he wants. He may become cross and lose patience as he practises cruising or crawling but can't get to his toys quick enough. The best bet here is to be patient. Put yourself in your baby's shoes and imagine how much he wants that toy, or to crawl into the garden and how frustrating it must be when the door to the garden is shut, or he can't get to his favourite toy quick enough.
Tantrums can occur from 9 months onwards, and while the ages of one to two years are often peak tantrum time this doesn't mean peace will break out once your child turns three. What does happen is that the reasons for the tantrums become more complex, and so often does the child's behavior.
Here are some of the most common triggers of tantrums:
- Frustration at limited skills.
- Communication failure.
- Being denied something.
- Rebellion against authority or resentment at unfair treatment.
- Infringement of territory, usually by other children.
- Feeling ignored or marginalized.
- Boredom
Hunger, tiredness or feeling ill can also be catalysts in the tantrum process, but are rarely causes in their own right.

A heavy hand fell upon Evin's shoulder as the light from the street lamps was shut out by the closing of the door behind him. He looked round at the bulk of William who glowered at him for a moment before nodding his head towards the reception desk, a subtle hint, at least for William, that Evin should report to Angus at the desk.
Evin knew better than to mess around with these two, they were not employed on the door of The Witches Cauldron just for the charming customer service and interpersonal skills.
Angus looked up from the monitor in the reception desk where he had been monitoring the progress of the "young" woman with the auburn hair.
"Evin! I see Lachlan has seen fit to let you out again. Maggie sends her best and says if you try hustling any more of our clientele she will have you balls removed! I believe the use of a cold steel and mash hammer was suggested."
Evin glanced round to see William with an evil smile on his face, "Let me guess where that idea came from." he muttered, turning back to Angus he put on his most charming smile "But of course I wouldn't dream of darkening Mistress Maggie's doorstep with such trickery, but you see it was the …"
Angus's hand slapped down on the woodwork of the desk cutting Evin off mid flow "don't be coming out with your excuses to me sunshine, you wouldn't have made it through the door if it had been up to me, but Maggie obviously has a soft spot for you."
Evin took his cue and headed for the cloakroom before heading up the stairs, it really hadn't been his fault, Lachlan's new boy had wandered off his patch and onto Evin's looking for bigger fish to fleece unfortunately he had chosen the Cauldron. Evin had tried to intervene when he had spotted him in the club, but Maggie had already caught whiff of what was going on and her team had swept the two of them up together.
Lachlan and Maggie had an "understanding", Lachlan did not run his 'schemes' in the Cauldron and Maggie allowed Evin entry to entertain their clientele in an environment conducive to the magical sect.
Stepping into the members bar he did a quick scan of the room, he noted some of the 'usual suspects' dotted amongst the tables of revellers, the Moody brothers had obviously charmed a pair of tourists and were, from the ladies laughter, being quite entertaining or maybe it was the bottle of Bacardi and bucket of mixers on the table that was working the charm. Through the double doors to the balcony Evin could see the back of Michael watching the gathering crowd on the dancefloor below, the thump of the music increasing as the door was opened and the tall lithe figure of Silk stepping out to join Michael, she glanced in Evin's direction as the door closed, her eyes narrowing, sending a shiver down his back, Williams offer of a cold steel and mash hammer would be preferable to what she would do to his balls if she had the chance.
But here in the Cauldron was neutral ground for that sort of thing, Maggie made sure of it, she had no compunction about dealing with anyone who 'stepped across the line'.
Now his eyes settled on a new figure who had just reached the bar, her light top barely concealed the curve of her body and the curve of the knife at her back.
If she had managed to get that far in the club with such a weapon then there had to be something special about her, all the more reason to introduce himself.
He sauntered towards the bar, taking a glance to the back of the room and the left-hand booth of the 3 VIP booths, but the curtains were closed, maybe Maggie was not in tonight or she was in 'discussions' with someone.
As he slipped onto a stool next to the auburn haired figure the barman gave him a nod of recognition, but waited for the woman to make her order.

There's Something Wrong with Your BRAIN
This is for all those people with Parkinson's disease who can't seem to make others understand what's going on in the mind of a PD patient.
I've personally heard of people with PD who actually live with others who don't believe they have PD. You can call it denial. You can call it ignorance. You can call it whatever you want, but who in their right mind would want to pretend to have Parkinson's disease?
Pretend to fall.
Pretend to stutter.
Pretend to drool.
Pretend to whisper.
Pretend not to smell the fragrance of a rose.
Pretend to shake so that every eye is on you.
Pretend to look mad.
Pay me thousands of dollars to pretend I have PD in a movie – no millions – and I might consider it, but to pretend day to day to have a debilitating disease? Give me a break. And, wouldn't someone who's pretending rather spend thousands of dollars on a vacation, rather than for doctor appointments and drugs you'd rather not have to swallow 3+ times a day?
Here is the latest comment I've heard one person say to a friend (quite seriously and sarcastically): "What is wrong with you? It's like something's wrong with your brain."
All I can say is – Gee… 'Ya think?
Every morning we PD'ers wake up and gather the strength to get out of bed. We don't just pop up like a toaster tart and stretch like Jane Fonda or Jillian Michaels. Nope. We push ourselves up – our stiff, sore selves and we don't even consider stretching – for fear of our muscles cramping up just by thinking of performing such a task. We shuffle to the bathroom like a weighted penguin and thank God for the person who invented elastic waistbands so we don't have to fumble with buttons or zippers or strings. We shower, washing the same frame as always, but taking twice as long as it once did – not so long ago. We brush our teeth with electric toothbrushes so we don't tear our gums apart should the tremors take over and attempt to complete this task. We dress, again taking twice as long as it once did and sometimes (often for some) needing assistance, very aware of what being humbled can mean.
If we haven't already downed our morning's medicinal cocktail, we choose now. The number of pills varies, however, depending on who you are and the doctor you have and what's going on with your body. Me? Nine for breakfast, five for lunch, five for supper and three for bedtime. Mmm, mmm good. And did I mention the side effects that the medicines cause or can cause? You name it. The possibilities are endless.
You go on with your day. Now – here it must be stressed that everyone's day (that of a PD patient) is different, as one person may be having a good 'on' day (or at least part of one) with their meds working great, while another is having an 'off' day, where their meds are in need of adjustment or perhaps they just don't work too good anymore. You act crazy where once you may have been seen as calm and quiet (at least in public). Perhaps it is the PD. Maybeit's the realization that today, this day, is the time to enjoy life and laugh and not care what others are thinking.
I've heard it said that with Alzheimer's, the patient doesn't recognize family or friends after a while, whereas with Parkinson's disease, family and friends may not recognize the patient. They act different. They think different. Maybe we're just trying to confuse those we love and see if they notice. I hardly think this is the case. But, you know after all – something is wrong with our brains, so the transformation is legitimate and warranted, right?
If you know someone who says they have PD and think they are pretending, please… think again. They'd much rather pretend to be Cinderella or Prince Charming.
Journeying with you,

An illegal immigrant who made a fortune from trafficking East European sex slaves has been jailed for 11 years:
Vullnet Ismailaj, 27, an Albanian, smuggled scores of young Lithuanian women into Britain with the promise that they would earn good money.
Once they arrived, however, they were put straight to work, forced to surrender their passports and work up to 13 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week.
In an "organised and sophisticated" prostitution empire, which stretched from Birmingham to London and employed about ten girls at any one time, Ismailaj bought the young women, often selling them on for up to £4,000 each.
The new arrivals soon found that they had to repay thousands of pounds of "debt" by servicing dozens of men in one day.
Only when they had settled their debts would they be entitled to 25 per cent of their earnings — Ismailaj kept the rest. Brian O'Neill, for the prosecution, said: "It is clear from the way the women were treated by Ismailaj and the others that he, in particular, did not regard these women as anything other than chattels.
"They were his to do with as he pleased, putting them to work, taking their money and offering them for sale."
Southwark Crown Court was told that police had been alerted to the two-year vice ring by a 25-year-old victim. The court was told that one woman was made to entertain 34 clients on her first day in a brothel in Soho, Central London.
The Lithuanian woman, who was too ill to work the next day, had to hand over all of her £805 earnings.
One week and approximately 150 customers later, she called the police when Ismailaj threatened to kill her for complaining.
During a two-week undercover operation by Scotland Yard's vice squad, officers discovered a network of prostitutes, all working for Ismailaj.

Archive for the '2014 September' Category
Once again this year our hotel entered the Sports Day arranged by the American Chamber of Commerce in Hungary, making this the third time we have taken part in the event. Entries were accepted for three sports: soccer, basketball and table tennis. The programme was organized in Telki Globall Sport Hotel on Saturday 20 September. Our first football match kicked off at 8.30 am, and the first basketball match at 8.50 am, so it was an early start for all as the somewhat sleepy looking sportsmen and women gathered at the hotel's staff entrance at 7 am Our departure turned out to be slightly exciting since we 'forgot' one of the top players in our basketball team (because he overslept! Sorry, Máté! ). The setting and the hotel itself were beautiful and we all gave our best to get into the top teams.
Our football team managed the best results of the past three years and wound up the tournament undefeated. The team didn't come up against a stronger side but still overall the players were disappointed because they could have progressed into the final, yet at critical moments they only managed draws instead of wins.
The most painful was the first group match against DHL, where our team maintained control of play all the way through, but an unlucky goal in the final minute meant that our old rivals managed a 2-2 result, after which they progressed to the final with four draws and just a single win. Thus our team missed out on the group leadership spot, but they remained unbeaten against Telenor and Dr. Rose, while they managed a safe 2-goal lead over Johnson & Johnson and AIG, thereby closing the tournament with an absolute positive balance. This means our opponents cannot rest easy in the run up to next year's Amcham Sports Day.
The basketball players fought a massive battle from start to finish. The struggle for third place saw incredible moves on the court. In the end we just managed fourth, but this is no cause for sadness! I reckon that the team we put together and the time we spent together, just like the weeks prior to the match we spent in training, make us worthy of first place!!
The day saw three truly outstanding players. Uncle Ernő Varga showed enormous spirit in achieving first place in the ping-pong championship for the second time. Our pool attendant Attila Bencze came third. Péter Sztancsek was also on form for the event… with 2140 keepie uppies, he won the keepie uppie competition by a long way!
Congratulations to everybody!
Thanks for participating:
Basketball team: Judit Aranyosi, Éva Ferencz, Nikolett Sümegi, Gábor Döry, Dániel Bakay, Sándor Fehér, Szilárd Haidekker, Máté Fehér, Péter Puskás, Péter Sárkány.
Soccer team: Gábor Kluka, Tamás Hamza, Zoltán Kopunovics, Péter Sztancsek, Tamás Bajkai, Csaba Bajkai, Mihály Szarka, Roland Hulman, Sándor Fehér.
Table tennis: Ernő Varga, Attila Bencze.
Our thanks also to the enthusiastic supporters: Károly Bajcsi, Csaba Holdi, Tibor Rácz
The Grand Story of Corinthia Hotel Budapest by Tibor Meskal, Sr. Manager on Duty Chapter 17
The constatnt presence of foreigners and travellers from all corners of the world certainly added
sex-appeal for local artists. If there was any opportunity to meet a potential investor or a maecenas
of Hungarian art, the Grand Hotel Royal was the place to go. Inparticular its coffee house was a good place to meet foreigners. At the Café all the daily papers were available, weekly magazines could be read, and you were able to sit with one single cup of coffee for one whole day, with your glass of water constantly refreshed by a waiter whose income largely depended on your tip. The Royal Café was also the home to what has been described as the tastiest dobos Torte in the world. The 'Dobos Torta' (Dobos Cake) is Hungary's answer to austria's Sacher Torte. József C. Dobos invented this cake around 1885. He wanted to create a cake that lasted at least 10 days.The cake became the most famous of all internationally renown Hungarian cakes. In 1895, Dobos published
the recipe. On good days a few hundred slices were sold at the Royal.

The Grand Story of Corinthia Hotel Budapest by Tibor Meskal, Sr. Manager on Duty Chapter 16
Hungarian intellectuals of cultural and political influence adopted the hotel as their base. Around 1902 a group of artists, musicians, actors, painters, sculptors and architects decided to establish their own artists' association, the Fészek Club (meaning 'nest', composed from the charadters F.é.s.z.e.k., which stand for the Hungarian words Painter, architects, actors, musicians and comedians). The first president was Béla Környei, a famous opera tenor of the time. Its venue: The Royal. Coffee house headwaiter Török had special orders to always group the most attractive young ladies around the tables of the nest club members. a good tip assured his friendly attention to the matter.
Artist József Rippl-Rónai complained that it was difficult to find an appropriate space to exhibit his
paintings. The hotel manager, Gyula Várady, swiftly came up with an offer of a free room at the Royal for the duration of his first exhibition. Today his paintings sell for tens of thousands of euros. While the Royal Café was the regular meeting place of The Royal Artists' Club, other associations like the János Vajda Club held meetings with public readings in the hotel. One day in 1908, two hungarian writers and intellectuals, Ernô Osvát and Miksa Fenyô, sat together at the Royal Café. Over a cup of coffee; they discussed the foundation of a literary and social journal. Over a second cup, they decided to call it nyugat (The west). This was the start of a significant periodical in the history of Hungarian literature. Until 1941, the greatest writings of the first half of the 20th century first appeared in this periodical. The Nyugat and the János Vajda Club organised public readings at the Royal.
The Royal was a regular meeting place for Freemasons, with the symbolic grand lodge of hungary formed in 1886. at its height, Hungarian Freemasonry boasted more the 7,000 members.
