The Cosmos blessed me with two sons, I thought I wanted girls to cook and craft with but I did get over it and adjust to boys and one out of the two likes cooking and craft! A Mother of my youngest son's friend has two sons and has just found out she is expecting twin boys, she is a little disappointed. Today three girls arrived at my house, Poppy, Rosie and Daisy (named by my six year old). They are the chicken variety. They look quite exhausted with their adventures. They are cheaping away in the living room. The dog is bannished to the kitchen and she isn't happy about it. The budgie however seems delighted to have company. My 14 year old did not want chickens but thinks these are great and keeps asking if he can hold one. The six year old did a victory dance when I told him the chooks had arrived. He told me tonight he has always wanted chickens. I have chicken researched myself senseless, to the point of obsession. My youngest has gone to bed tonight reading the chicken care manual. The chicks will be 10 days old tomorrow. Seven had to go back to the 'Farm' today as I felt three was a sensible amount to take and couldn't take any more. Everyone at work has said they will buy eggs off me, what they don't know is I will charge £1.50 for each egg! I will try and get pictures of the 'Girls' tomorrow.

Floral Dance - Yummy Yarn
|This is Patricia's photograph as she has the knack for photographing yarn and capturing the true colours.
Kettle Dyed Shetland Wool 2ply 100g -
458 yards/419 metres per 100g approx
It is called Floral Dance.
I have never knitted with such fine yarn before but I couldn't resist the beautiful floral colours of this. I searched long and hard for a suitable pattern to try and decided on...
The pattern is rated as 'easy' and the reviews I have read said, it was a pleasure to knit and very quick. They also state the pattern is 'Spot on'. So far I have frogged it seven times and this afternoon I gave it to my Mom to see if she could work out what on earth I am doing wrong. My Mom struggled a bit but my sons were being boys and the dog was being playful so it was hard to concentrate. Well, my Mom now thinks I should be on track with it, I am worried to try again as I have given it only one more chance! I have work to do before I can get back to knitting today. I seem to be a little jinxed lately. Does anyone have any advice for when one feels they are about to throw a knitting tantrum or get aggressive with knitting needles? It would make me feel better if you could share your disasters and frogging records!

Another 'Ta Dah' Tunisian crochet scarf, cowl but definitely not mobius type of thing!
Recycled Sari Silk Waste Yarn and then I loved the way it looked in Tunisian Crochet - Simple Stitch . Unfortunately it is a much denser stitch, so the same amount of yarn did not go nearly as far as Garter and Drop stitch. I thought I would try and make some sort of Mobius twist scarf/cowl but I was foyled again. I think a true mobius twist has to be made in one piece rather than seamed. I managed to get my 14 year old son to model the 'Thingamebob' as he is far more beautiful than me! My next couple of projects are dish cloths, I shouldn't go far wrong with them! I also have a 'Lucy bag' from Attic 24 in progress.

'Ta-Dah' Meadowsweet Granny Stripe
This is my first Attic 24 inspired blanket, I have crocheted plenty of Granny Squares and Granny Stripes in the past but had never seen such lovely colourful blankets as those on Attic 24. When my work colleague found out she was expecting a baby I was delighted for her and knew I wanted to make something special. She has had a baby girl, called Imogen, so this is Imogen's blanket. I am thrilled for my friend but I so miss her at work as it just isn't the same without her! I have only just completed the 'Blankie' so I have not handed it over yet, I can't wait too. I don't actually like holding other peoples babies, I like a little look and then I would rather chin wag with the new Mom and see what I can do to help out...washing up, making a cup of tea etc...It will be lovely to catch up and meet Imogen.
I made this with a 'Lucy Pack' of Stylecraft. I am hopeless at choosing and co-ordinating colours, it was somewhat of a random selection, but I wanted more pinks than any other colour. I also decided to be a bit experimental and break each row with the Meadow green colour. I worked it in two rows of Granny stripe, followed by one row of double crochet in Meadow Green. The three row pattern meant that there was no right or wrong side, and the rows of double crochet appeared in thin and slightly thicker alternate stripes. I quite like the effect. I think these blankets are like our children 'We all love our own!'
I thought long and hard about edging, I wondered about a frilly shell pattern, plain meadow double crochet, I love the Tutorial on 'Crochet with Raymond' for the neat little zig zag edge.
Then I looked at Teresa's edging, I loved the idea of Tulips, grass and sky. How Arty for a granny stripe.
I chose the carnival edging and my six year old son approved and complemented the work in progress. I nearly frogged it many times, as I was unsure of the the wonky zig zags, but resolved to keep going and try blocking, I have never blocked anything before.
I wondered should I have just kept a plain edge or should I have gone for a shell edge...I decided you could ponder it for ever, so stuck with the 'carnival' zig zags. I bought a packet of 200 pins for the blocking job and ran out! It has taken all day to dry on top of the washing line in some warm sunshine. I am now feeling underwhelmed by the finished article, it is a bit of an anti-climax. I am trying not to be disappointed and I don't have the heart to frog the edge now and try to make myself happier with it. It is pretty just not quite what I hoped for.
It may be a while before I Granny stripe again and even longer before I try 'carnival edging'. I think 'Carnival edging' would be great for smaller projects. Not quite the Triumphant 'Ta-dah' moment I had anticipated. :)

Weaving Spinning and Dyeing Guild - Design Workshop
On Saturday 12th March I attended the Monthly meeting of the 'Birmingham and District Guild of Weaving Spinning and Dyeing'. This month it was a design workshop lead by Stacey Harvey-Brown.
The Loomroom
Guild members were not expecting to take a completed project home, we were exploring the process and collation of ideas and the stages involved in working ideas into textiles. I am a complete novice to these concepts. We had access to a wide variety of materials and books to explore. My Mom settled to exploring a 'Sunset' and she was busy painting and finding yarns to match the colours and textures of the photograph, she claimed not to know what she was doing, but it kept her quiet and it looked great to me. I have made a note to myself I need to invest in a large scrapbook and a pallet of water colour paints for exploring colour. As is usual with my 'Learning style' I did not settle to my task well, I started out looking at a photograph of a 'Summer meadow', then changed my mind a worked on a Pheasant tail feather that I have had for about a year. I spent a long time closely examining the colours, patterns, line and texture on my feather, I tried to sketch it and recreate it in 'alternative' colours. I get easily distracted nosing at what everyone else is up to. I do learn a lot that way and I am in total awe of what individuals can and do achieve. I learnt about 'Weave it' style square looms and had a demo and a play.
|Examples of completed 'Weave it' squares
I am on a promise next month to learn how to warp a Rigid Heddle loom. This may be ambitous though as next month is a 'Spinning Workshop' looking at creating Arty Batts of fibre. I should stay focussed for that. One guild member had a large collection of work she had produced for a 'City and Guilds' Textile course a good number of years ago. She was the only member in the class to achieve a distinction, she showed me her process for getting from ideas to completed designs and it was fascinating. For one example she used the designs from the outside of Romanian monastries to create woven Romanian style Aprons and recorded the process from start to finish.
|This is an image from a 'Google' search to show the style of an 'antique' Romanian Apron

Happy Saint Patrick's Day 2011 - Beef Brisket slow cooked in Guinness
I really enjoy cooking using the Slow pot/Crock pot. I find it very convenient if I have been working for the day to come home to food all ready and waiting to be dished out. It is an economical way of cooking taking into account ingredients and fuel. This meal is ideal for a Saint Patricks Day Celebration. It makes a rich, hearty pot roast, using a relatively cheap cut of meat that is cooked in a way to make it tender and succulent. It also makes use of healthy pulses, barley and lentils and whatever seasonal root vegetables you have to hand. The only liquid added to the pot is a large can,or bottle of Guinness. It is always nice to have some extra Guinness to slurp your merry way along.
1 joint of Brisket
2 or three large carrots/peeled and chunked
half a swede/peeled and chunked
2 onions or leeks/ washed/ peeled and sliced
1 parsnip/peeled and chunked
1turnip/peeled and chunked
2 sticks of celery/washed and sliced (or any combination of vegetables you like or have to hand)
2 to 3 oz of pearl barley
2 to 3 oz of lentils Green or red
1 large can or bottle of Guinness
Salt/ Pepper and herbs to your taste.
Place all the ingredients into the slow pot, and cook on high for approximately 5 hours, or on medium for about 7 hours. I use a gravy thickener just before serving if necessary. Serve with roast or mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
Top of the Mornin to ye.
I will leave you with a some traditional Irish blessings...
May there always be work for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
Bless those minding cattle,
And those minding sheep,
And those fishing the sea
While the rest of us sleep.
"May you never forget what is worth remembering, nor ever remember what is best forgotten"
May your troubles be as few and as far apart
as my Grandmothers teeth.
as my Grandmothers teeth.

Phew I think I am back!!!
I have been missing Blogland a great deal, I have had serious withdrawal symptoms. I have had Laptop troubles as I was not on wireless and I had slight computer damage that meant I could not connect. You never miss the water until the well runs dry. I do not know how I have managed to solve my problem it was trial and error tonight, I didn't have a clue what I was doing and then suddenly I had my Internet connection again. It's like magic! Good job I prepared my St Paddies day post in advance! I am glad to be back :)

Pancake Day 2011
It is that time of year again...I have no will power so I have never observed Lent or giving anything up for Lent but I am partial to a Pancake or two. This year I had two able assistants and they did a good job, both with the making and the eating.
Basic Batter Recipe - Ingredients for making about 8 pancakes (More if you use a smaller pan)
4oz (100g) plain flour.
Half a Pint (250ml) of milk.
1 Standard Egg. (Size 2)
Pinch of Salt (half teaspoon)
I have got a favourite small pan for pancakes, I use vegetable oil and heat it until it smokes. Then I drain off the excess oil into a cup and swirl around some pancake mixture into the hot pan. I cook it until it looks set and little holes appear in the pancake. I did try tossing, but the dog gets in the way so it was safer to flip! Both of my sons ate until they lost count! When they were fit to burst they generously let me have a couple. They experimented with cream, then butter, but both returned to the traditional sugar and lemon juice. My youngest said 'Pancake Day was the best day of his life'. I like kids that are easy to please :)

The Philosophical 40th
One more day of being 39, tomorrow I will be in my Forties. I think it's a good age to be, I can probably work it to my advantage somehow! I have found a few thought provoking quotations that I think are rather apt.
Life begins a Forty - written by John Lennon (for Ringo Starr)
They say life begins at forty,
Age is just a state of mind.
If all that's true,
You know, that i've been dead for thirty-nine.
And if life begins at forty,
Well, i hope it ain't the same
It's been tough enough without that stuff
I don't wanna to be born again.
Well, i tried to sweep the slate clean
With a new broom ev'ry day
If that don't work,
I'll jerk around until my next birtday
Yeah, life begins at forty,
Age is just a state of mind.
Well, if all that's true
You know that i've been dead for thirty-nine.
"Lived in this town all my life an' I'm goin' on forty-three years old. Know everything that's happened here since before I was born."
To Kill a Mockingbird
Sheriff Tate, Chapter 30.
"You're not 40, you're eighteen with 22 years experience."
Anonymous ...
"Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age."
~Victor Hugo
"It's sad to grow old, but nice to ripen."
~Brigitte Bardot
"I was wrong to grow older. Pity. I was so happy as a child."
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras, 1942, translated from French by Lewis Galantière
"To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old."
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Age is opportunity no less,
Than youth itself, though in another dress,
And as the evening twilight fades away,
The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Morituri Salutamus
"None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm."
~Henry David Thoreau
"Middle age is when a narrow waist and a broad mind begin to change places."
~Author Unknown
"I don't do alcohol anymore - I get the same effect just standing up fast."
~Author Unknown
"Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself."
~Tom Wilson
"It's hard to feel middle-aged, because how can you tell how long you are going to live?"

Glamorgan Sausages - Vegetarian recipe
|These leeks were picked this evening
(Staying with the Welsh theme I decided to make Glamorgan Sausages)
Glamorgan Sausages
500g bread crumbs
250g of strong Welsh Cheddar (grated)
4/5 Medium leeks (washed and sliced)
3medium eggs
50g of Welsh butter
A bunch of sage leaves (finely chopped)
Pepper for seasoning
Gently fry the leeks in the melted butter. Mix the breadcrumbs, cheese, and sage. Season the mixture with pepper. When the leeks are soft add them with the butter to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix really well. Add the eggs to bind the mixture to a firm 'dough'. Shape into sausages and fry until they are Golden brown all over. (You could also add mustard to the mixture, wholegrain is tasty in this recipe.)

Knitted Daffodils... I Wander'd lonely as a cloud
As a child I had to learn this poem off by heart at school, needless to say I can't remember it now! For oft I lie on my couch in a vacant or pensive mood! ( Some may say a little too oft!)
"Daffodils" (1804)
I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud
- That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
- A host, of golden daffodils;
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
- And twinkle on the Milky Way,
- Along the margin of a bay:
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
- Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
- In such a jocund company:
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
- In vacant or in pensive mood,
- Which is the bliss of solitude;
And dances with the daffodils.
- By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).

Oh these two. Let me tell you about these two. When Lindsey, Ross and I had met about their wedding around a year or so ago, I had causally mentioned how we love to travel…especially to shoot in new locations. Sure, I knew the wedding would be in Columbus and that they grew up in Ross County…but I also knew that they now live in San Francisco…you know, one of those bucket list cities for me. I always love photographing couples (or families or seniors) in areas that mean something to them. Not only is it a great time to really capture that time of your life, but the photos might mean that much more if you can shoot in areas that you often go, or love or have memories from.
You can imagine how excited I was when we started to seriously talk about Justin and I flying out to photograph them where they live. We planned to make it a couple day event…that way we could be shooting in the best light, but also hit several locations too…I mean, it's not every weekend you have a photographer following you around, you better make the most of it! Not only did they take us to the most spectacular areas to photograph, but we really had the best time! Saw amazing spots, ate amazing food and spent the whole weekend with an amazing couple. We honestly still talk about it often and how excited we are to head back one day.
Ross and Lindsey, thank you for everything…especially for making us fall in love with San Francisco…how's about an anniversary shoot?! ;)
These two get married TOMORROW, so today seemed like the perfect day to share our time in California!
We started the evening we flew in (after an incredible tour of Alcatraz) and headed downtown to City Hall! They were closing in 10 mins…so we had the place to ourselves :) Our other shoot locations included the Presidio (one of my new favorite places of all time), a look out spot for the Golden Gate Bridge, their too cute home, Crissy Field, the Palace of Fine Arts & Baker Beach. It was an epic weekend and writing up this post has me looking at flights. I hope you enjoy the pictures even a 1/3 as much as I enjoyed this trip!
So excited for tomorrow!

Welcome to the next installment of the INSPIRE series. This fitness piece is by the motivational Cory. Enjoy & share!
If I have learned anything since joining the "adult world" it is that having a traditional 8-5 schedule is great! I love having a routine and thrive when I can plan ahead and set goals and expectations. However, one thing I didn't realize is just how hard it can be to get everything that needs doing done! Between cleaning and home maintenance, work, friends, my boyfriend, pets, family, personal time, it can feel like a lot to balance. And since I'm not an early bird or a night owl, it leaves me with a pretty small window of time to be productive. That is why a few months ago I started using my lunch hour as my workout hour! I found a spinning studio up the street from my office, and started spinning for 45 minutes twice a week.
I fell in love with the lunch hour workout! At first I was worried about being the sweaty, smelly girl in the office, but with a little learning and a little prep, I was able to master getting in my fitness while increasing my work productivity.
- Plan ahead – Know what you are doing! Pack your gym bag the night before and give it a once over in the morning just in case you missed something. Know where your workout is, where you can park, and what you need to do to make it happen. Eat a good breakfast, and always bring your lunch! That way you can ensure it's healthy and not feel crunched for time. And finally, make sure the studio you choose has the amenities you need, like parking or maybe a shower and locker room.
- Find something you can do in 30-45 minutes – Ideally, your workout should be no more than 5 minutes from your workplace. No studio nearby? Find a great running trail or use nearby outdoor space to DIY your own workout with stairs, running, body weight exercises, and a yoga mat!
- Pack more than the essentials – Don't zip up your workout bag once you've got the must haves in there. Go beyond the normal ponytails, workout clothes, and running shoes. Why? Because the more comfortable you are, the easier it is to say "YES" when your lunch hour comes around. Extras I like? Body lotion, sunblock, extra underwear, blotting papers, and allergy meds.
- Get your desk ready – I purchased a small desktop fan to help cool down after my workout. Stock your drawers with power up snacks for pre and post workouts like fresh fruits and nuts. Keep water at your desk throughout the day to keep yourself hydrated and help you get the most out of your workout. Keep a yoga mat and an extra set of shoes and workout wear so you never have an excuse to miss!
- Dress for success – Want in on my #1 secret? Start your day wearing your sports bra under a flowy dress with easy to slip on/off sandals. When the time to workout comes, it will be easy to slip out of your dress and into your workout wear. Then, you can put on a fresh, traditional bra afterwards. This will save you tons of time and mental stress of getting into the lunch hour workout mindset!
I know once I started using my lunch hour to workout, I have found it a lot easier to focus in the afternoon. The afternoon slump is like a distant dream for me. Since I've moved offices, I'm no longer near the spin studio, but I now do a boot camp twice a week and go on runs the other 3 days, since I'm training for an upcoming 10k! So instead of scrolling endlessly through your social media tomorrow at noon, or spending lots of money at a restaurant, lace up your sneakers and do something active and make the most of your lunch hour.

She has been leading annual medical missions to the Dominican Republic since 2003, when local Girl Scouts and members of her church joined forces to do service work in the Dominican Republic. Walsh was one of a group of 20 volunteers and was immediately struck by the immense medical needs of the community and the lack of access to basic health care. She returned the next year with basic medical supplies and a small team to help run medical clinics in churches and schools in the area. They treated 150 patients.
During the years, the team increased in size and scope. In 2014, Walsh's team held 13 clinics and treated more than 700 patients.

The Literature Legacy of Fyodor Dostoevsky. Custom The Literature Legacy of Fyodor Dostoevsky Essay Writing Service || The Literature Legacy of Fyodor Dostoevsky Essay samples, help
The aim of this paper is to discuss the cultural legacy left to the present generations by one of the most prolific and globally acknowledged giants of Russian classical literature Fyodor Dostoevsky. The paper focuses on the "Gentle Creature" and the "Ridiculous Man" short stories and provides a detailed compare and contrast analysis of the main protagonists of both stories, focusing on the physical and mental health; the paper provides a detailed outline of the protagonists' social and personal accomplishments. The main characters of the both stories seem to be an unhappy people, due to the fact that both of them experience severe and psychologically traumatic life situations. Both of them sensed the bereavement and they are fully aware of what a true emotional pain is. Fyodor Dostoevsky skillfully contrived to deliver the message to the general public about the complexities, stresses and strains of the life in the 19th century in Imperial Russia. This report accentuates the differences and similarities between the main characters of the two poems, the unfortunate pawnbroker and his no less fortunate comrade, the Ridiculous Man.
Buy The Literature Legacy of Fyodor Dostoevsky essay paper online
The Similarities of the Main Characters
While the plot stories are diametrically different, there are numerous differences among the main characters involved to the story. First and foremost, following the descriptions given by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, both persons share many common features in terms of their appearance. To be more exact, both the pawnbroker and the Ridiculous man are not old people, they are in their thirties,, being relatively mature and self-sufficient people. Both personalities are bearded and wear clothes which were typical for the merchants and other mundane people of those times. They wore shipskeen coats and long hair to accentuate that they belong to the laity and are involved neither in politics, nor in the military nor in the clerical service.
Their social status is almost the same, although it is clear from the narration that the revenues accrued by these people differ significantly. The unfortunate pawnbroker operates his own pawnshop and it is generally taken for granted that this source of revenue is always profitable. However, his profession was neither estimable nor respected in the Imperial Russia of the 19th century. Moreover, considering the fact that he was not a member of a nobility, he was treated as a mere civilian and all his wealth does not help him to remedy his problems, as it does for the rest of the well-off, but at the same time noble population of the Imperial Russia.
His comrade seems to be unemployed but this fact does not substantially differentiate him from the pawnbroker. The author of the narration purposefully accentuates the attention of the target audience on the fact that the feelings and the thoughts of the people, but not their social position nor their monetary well-being are the factors which determine the happiness of a person.
Stay Connected
Besides, both characters do seem to have similar values. Both respect the church, although the ridiculous man has hardly restrained himself from committing a suicide, the action which by all standards is considered as one of the gravest clerical misdeeds.
The Differences of the Personalities
First and foremost, these people do seem to have similar life orientation and they employ the same ways to interpret their mindsets. Both men are quite pessimistic at the beginning of the story, but their approach is gradually changed with the narration of the events. However, while the ridiculous man seems to have found his vacation (to tell that the truth is the most sacred value and that the truth must be told everywhere, every when and by everybody and the eternal salvation and overall happiness will be achieved). The destiny and the sense of life were found by first hero, and the second one does seem to have completely lost that feeling. To be more exact, the premature demise of his wife resulted in his complete mental breakdown and he seemed to be completely devastated emotionally. To be more exact, he thought that it was his personal guilt that she resolved to quit the life. He started to wail and to lament her death and he fully understood that nothing could have been done to remedy the situation.
In this context, the message delivered by the author is the following. While the people may have different social and monetary status, their life position is primarily determined not by the money and the assets they have at their disposal, not by their marital status or the connections they have but by their internal stamina and morale. If the person is capable of ruining the negative elements internally and he masters the art of realizing his true vacation, whatever external circumstances do take place, and this person will be happy. As Dostoevsky said "Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man" (Joseph, 2005).
Limited time Offer
Having recapitulated the main points of the essay, it can be accentuated that the main characters of the stories at issue have a number of similar features, as well as they are completely different in their mindsets. Being almost equal socially and having completely different sources of income, they have generated diametrically opposite mindsets at the end of the stories. While the Ridiculous man has comprehended his vocation and God or the Destiny helped him to realize the importance of the Truth, the suicide committed by the young wife of the pawnbroker has taught him nothing, but urged him to lament and to wail further, while he should have mastered all his courage and fortitude to weather the storm in the ocean of his life.

Applifier opens up to all social app developers, free traffic for all!
Signing up for the service allows developers to place their games on the bar while installing the ad bar itself on their own games. For example, if Digital Chocolate decides to install the bar on top of MMA Pro Fighter (one of their more popular games), MMA Pro Fighter will appear on other developers' games who have also installed Applifier cross promotion bar and vise versa. Thus, free exposure--and hopefully traffic--for all!
Applifier serves as means for smaller developers to generate users comparable to the big league players Zynga and Electronic Arts, who have 230 million and 54 million monthly users respectively. The booming service has gained 20 million more eyeballs in the past month alone, according to Applifier CEO Laakkonen, but he remains humble.
"When we started four months ago, if someone told me we'd cross 50 million, I would have laughed," Laakkonen said. "At 10 million, I thought we'd made it, that there was nothing more to be done."
With growth like this, clearly Applifier has a while to go before it plateaus. Could the service garner enough user attention to compete with Zynga's massive amount of users? Only time will tell (they have a long way to go).

And now, for today's post, we'll talk about your approach.
First, survey results:
First, survey results:
Bachelors Weigh In:
Matt @djsheeno
Online dating is a way of meeting women on my terms and time. I don't take it too seriously because I know everyone is trying to put on their best face, and who knows if their profile is for real? Most of the time, what you see is what you get, though.
I feel like I would have better luck if I were a better writer, and I get jaded because of the lack of responses from the messages I write to potential dates. I like the concept of How About We because I don't like to write, and it seems to be a better idea to just suggest a first date, exchange contact info and talk in person.
I was not happy when I read you telling your female readers not to pay on a date; it makes me feel like you are encouraging women to get a free meal/drinks from nice guys. I heard recently that some women feed themselves by going on dates with guys they have no interest in. These types of things turn nice guys into jerks...and no one wins.

I heard recently that some women feed themselves by going on dates with guys they have no interest in. These types of things turn nice guys into jerks...and no one wins.
Online dating should be the igniter for real life dating. When I did online dating, I once connected with a girl and wanted to get a drink early on. I didn't want to go back and forth talking online when I could talk to her in real life. She was a little surprised, but I think she was most impressed with my forwardness. I like talking to someone in person, having a normal experience with another human being.
Online dating is not like blind dating. You've looked at the person's profile, maybe e-mailed them a few times, and think you could get along with them, so you ask them out. If the guy hasn't done any filtering and is just looking to get laid, that is slightly dumb. Maybe more than slightly.
My Thoughts:
When I started online dating, I was definitely looking for love. After a year of it, I have since fluctuated between hopeful but cautious and staying in the game. I have never gone a date to get a handout, and interestingly, 0% of respondents said they were doing it to get a free meal.
Since my initial post on online dating, I've received a lot of flack for promoting the freeloading lifestyle. I was so confused by this accusation at first, because, even though I said "enjoy the free meal," I meant it much more tongue in cheek or as a pep talk than a suggestion on how to save money for fall boots/rent.
Apparently freeloading dating is a problem these days, but if the respondents to my survey represent a cross-section of my readers, none of my readers -- or very few of them, I'm guessing -- fall into that category. So to the guys who are wary of these types, I offer a warning and a consolation prize:
If she's 22 or younger and you're in your 30s, you should be worried she might be a freeloader. However, you can boast to your friends that you're dating a 22-year-old, so there's that.
|And if you decide not to go out with her again, text her a couple of times then ignore her.
She will obsess over your texts with her girlfriends and friend zoned guys who wish so badly they were you.
If she's closer to your age and you get the sense she's freeloading, enjoy the view of her cleavage and bash her to your friends the next time y'all meet up for beers or whatever it is boys do.
|This? Guys should meet up and do this.
A word of advice to whomever is the pursuer: keep the online interactions to a minimum. According to a recent study out of California State University, online dating "enables people to get to know each other online and then plan a first date, but the vast majority of adult romantic relationships still start after men and women meet in physical locations...and somehow express interest in getting to know one another better."
I personally lose interest after three messages, if there's no mention of meeting up, and I have fallen into the trap of telling my life story or too many personal details without meeting the guy. This ALWAYS creates a false sense of connectedness and trust, and when it doesn't work out, I have been left wondering what the heck happened. Sometimes guys will write me long introductory messages, telling me all about themselves, and I often wonder if they've copied and pasted it into messages to several girls. It's a huge turn-off. I'd much rather a guy say, "Hey, I like X about your profile. Seems like we'd have some interesting things to talk about. Would you like to meet up sometime?" Knowing he wants to meet me, in person, is more flattering than any witty thing he could write me on an online dating site.
Finally, don't buy into the promises of eHarmony and Match that you'll find your perfect one on there. Getting depressed, jaded, angry, etc. doesn't do anyone any good.
|We all feel your pain, Char.
Does this resonate with you? Have you had a different experience?

They will be taking money from the North East of England, the money is from The European Union Funds that are designed for investment and creating jobs.
The Government once again aim to appease others at the cost of England.
Now, we can not blame the Scottish people, even though they get a better deal via the Barnett Formula and looks like they will be getting a bonus from this.
It is the fault of our Westminster failed Government. They do not recognise England as a country, they want to break us into regions, they lead us further into the mire of the EU, fail to give England and her people a voice with poor excuses and twisted argument.
There is a way to change this situation and get rid of the appeasing, wasting, lying and EU pandering incumbents. VOTE UKIP!!!!!
Euro MP claims £100m of North-East aid lost in Scotland "bribe"6:00am Saturday 30th March 2013 in NewsExclusive By Robert Merrick, Parliamentary CorrespondentUP to £100m of vital aid will be taken from the North-East as a Government "bribe" to stop Scotland voting for independence, it has been claimed.The European Union funds – designed to win investment and jobs - have been switched north of the border after a fierce campaign by the Edinburgh parliament.The Scottish Secretary did little to disguise that the funding boost will be a weapon to help save the Union, when the independence referendum is staged next year.Michael Moore told Scottish newspapers: "By being in the UK, Scotland has not only got a better EU budget deal - we will also get better funding from Brussels."But the price will be paid by parts of England that are much poorer than Scotland, which will collectively lose £665m over six years.Stephen Hughes, a Labour Euro-MP for the North-East, said this region would lose "up to £100m" of the £300m-odd it had expected to receive.Mr Hughes said: "This is an attempted bribe, to persuade the people of Scotland that they should vote to stay in the United Kingdom."People in the North-East will be justifiably angry that this is going on. It will be bewildering that money will be taken from the North-East and given to Scotland, which is better off."Downing Street has insisted the decision had "nothing to do with the independence referendum", which is to be staged on September 18 next year.But Mr Hughes said: "It adds insult to injury, because Scotland already enjoys incentives to persuade businesses to invest there, which we don't have in the North-East. It's unfair."The controversy has blown up after European leaders – including David Cameron – agreed a real-terms cut in EU spending, at a summit last month.As a result, the UK's allocation of EU structural funds will be slashed, threatening Scotland – because it is richer than the likes of the North-East – with a 32 per cent reduction.After protests from Edinburgh, the Coalition government has now agreed a five per cent for each of the UK nations, for the 2014-2020 period.It means Scotland will receive £193m more than if allocations had been based on "need", in line with EU guidelines – while England will receive £665m less.Yet, Scotland's gross value added (GVA) per head currently stands at 98.6 per cent of the UK average, while the North-East languishes at just 75.9 per cent.The government has been accused of a string of measures favouring Scotland, including:* Axing the One NorthEast development agency – while Scottish Enterprise survives, able to tempt firms north of the border with lucrative grants.* Refusing to review the much-criticised Barnett Formula, which delivers much higher public spending to Scotland than to England.* Picking Edinburgh as the location for the £3bn Green Investment Bank – rejecting numerous bids from England, including from the Tees Valley.The North-East was pledged £330m of structural funds between 2007 and 2013, although – because the UK must provide matched funding – not all the cash has been spent.The grants part-funded NETPark at Sedgefield, County Durham, the Tees Valley Industrial Programme and the Innovation Accelerator project, at the Wilton Centre, near Redcar.Announcing the five per cent across-the-board cuts, Mr Moore pointed out that an independent Scotland would have had no choice but to accept the 32 per cent loss.He said: "By sharing the cut in EU structural funds across the UK, the Government is protecting Scotland from the big cut we would otherwise receive."Scotland will now get £193m more than it would if the EU funding formula was applied directly."

What Gruber did, specific language aside, the offensive language aside, what he did was tell the truth. Legislation always needs collective ignorance about many elements of it in order to move forward. I promise you, there was not one person who voted for the Affordable Care Act who could tell you more than 30% of what was in it. I had the pleasure of coming on this set, sitting in this chair, and announcing to America that there were fifteen taxes in the Affordable Care Act that no one knew about because they were developed in secret as they always are by Senate Finance Committee staff and as soon as Max Baucus' work product was finally public we then knew that. But through the course of that debate, those fifteen taxes did not get debated.

San Diego T-Rex idolisers Louis XIV are playing a risky game here. Calling a song something as beautiful as God Killed The Queen is, in many ways, setting it up for failure. It's inevitable that demanding reviewers will fall in love with the title, request the record expecting something righteous, something angry, something perverse, something special... remove it from the jiffy bag, put the song on and discover that the title's only there for the catchphrase value and that the song itself is a jaunty handclapping pop number about alcohol and casual sex (odd how often those two go together...).
But anyway, slighted though I feel, this is a good song. It has killer hooks with a bit of bite to them and boasts energy aplenty in the chopping guitars and sneering, exuberant vocals. It seems to want to sound dangerous, to be a Song On The Edge... but nothing will hide the fact that it's fundamentally feelgood summery music, about as thrilling as the wave machine in a swimming pool, and when listening to it one does wonder why the band have tried to put a jeering, jagged edge on something so obviously clean-cut. But still, it's all good fun and its Stones-esque hard pop slash will make lots of people jump up and down on the dance floor. Which is really an insufficient claim for a song called God Killed The Queen, but objectively speaking I suppose one really can't complain. Hell, I'll even dance to it myself.

Our blackberry vinegar is just about ready. Picked in the warm summer sun, and bathed in a soft rice wine vinegar for all this time. We now have good color and flavor extraction. The sweetness of the berry mellows the acidity and offers us the contrast and a good ride on the flavor train. We are looking forward to a baby arugula and Pine Nut salad with our Black Berry Vinaigrette, or how about Pan Roasted Mary's Organic Chicken with a Black Berry Gastric and a Winter Root Vegetable Gratin.
The convergence of seasons is a highlight in any menu. When the gardens still have something left and a preview of our next crops is offered it is truly a time to celebrate. This time is much like the culinary effect of cultural occupations through out world history. For example, the effect of the French occupation of Mexico is part of the soul of the Mexican cuisine we have explored in our Taco Tuesday Menus. Another example, convergence of two separate, distinctive bodies of water in the ocean is where the feeding line for those of the sea is often found. And so this seems to also apply in the human feeding line throughout history. Come on in to Patrona and be a part of this special time of the year.

PORT OF SPAIN – Black Friday turned out to be misery for many, with murders in south Trinidad, the tragic death of a child in Whiteland, and floods across much of the island. Bad luck extended to the Priority Bus Route, and the Solomon Hochoy and Uriah Butler highways where there were multiple collisions including the one pictured.
However, the police report that the two people pulled from this wreck did not suffer life threatening injuries.
The three-vehicle smash up on the highway sent two people to hospital.
The crash occurred around midday on the south-bound lane of the Uriah Butler Highway in the vicinity of the Divali Nagar site in Chaguanas.
Police said that on roads slick from overnight rainfall a 4×4 pickup truck and a three tonne truck crashed head on.
A car also collided with the two trucks.
Officers of the Highway Patrol responded, Chaguanas Fire Station and paramedics responded.
Two people were taken to the Chaguanas District Health Facility and are said to be in stable condition.

Rogue Fishing Itinerary
**This will be approximately 11 mile day, lodging at Black Bar Lodge.
We meet at Graves Creek at 9:00am You will at this time meet your guides, finish packing your water bags, get fitted for a life jacket and have a short safety speech. We are in our boats by 10:00 and will start fishing right away.
Twenty eight miles west of the City of Grants Pass, the Rogue River becomes a "National Wild and Scenic River". Even most Oregonians do not realize this designation is very special. There are only 166 rivers in the United States with this same title and the Rogue River was one of the original 8 rivers to be included in this act in 1968.
Our first significant rapid occurs just after we enter the wild scenic section of the Rogue, at Grave Creek. The site is named for Martha Leland Crowley, who was buried here in 1846.
Mile 1.1: Sanderson - The concrete piers visible on both sides of the river are all that remain of the bridge used for mule pack trains and foot traffic. The bridge was built in 1907 and was destroyed by flood in 1927.
Mile 1.8: Rainie Falls. This falls was named for old man Rainie, who lived in a small cabin below the falls and made his living by gaffing salmon. Guides run our boats down a narrow channel while everyone else walks around this thundering drop.
Mile 4.8: Tyee Rapids-north bank. Tyee is the chinook word for chief. Tyee Bar (south Bank) is the site of a once-famous gold mine where 300 chinese workers took one million dollars in gold dust.
Mile 9.6: Upper and Lower Black Bar falls. Class III On river left, just below lower Black Bar Falls is Black Bar Lodge, the first of several lodges along the Rogue. The lodge was built in 1932.
This is our Lodge for the first night, Black bar Lodge. Black Bar is a quaint lodge nestled in the trees out of view of the river. Just the setting you would imagine for a wilderness lodge. We will arrive about 4pm.
Black Bar Lodge offers 16 private log cabins nestled amongst the trees and two rooms inside the main lodge. Each cabin is gracefully decorated in a rustic lodge style with private bathrooms and at least 2 beds.
Two of Black Bars cabins offer up to 5 twin beds for larger groups.
Fishing The Rogue River, Day Two.
After a great dinner and a wonderful night on the Rogue River, we'll have a hearty breakfast, and head for the water. The Rogue River Fishing begins at 10:am.
Mile 11.1: Horseshoe Bend - Because the rock across the river is harder, the rock forced the river to carve its channel into the adjacent softer rock, creating the tight, horseshoe-shaped curve.
Mile 16.6: Battle Bar Campsite and historical site. A major battle during the 1850s between the US Cavalry and a band of locals Indians was fought here. The Bob Fox cabin is visible on the left bank. The cabin was built in the 1920s and partially destroyed in the 1964 flood.
Mile 17.5: Winkle Bar. This is the site of Zane Greys cabin. Grey purchased this mining claim from a gold prospector in 1926.
Mile 23: Rogue River Ranch and Mule Creek. Site of a historic, restored ranch.
Mile 23.5: Mule Creek Canyon Class IV A beautiful, narrow canyon formed as the river carves a path along a fault line.
Mile 25.5: Coffeepot a churning semi-whirlpool, two miles from the beginning of Mule Creek Canyon. The river bounces off the canyon walls creating diagonal waves and tricky currents. This is the narrowest passage on the river.
Mile 27.1: Blossom Bar Rapids. The Rogue's most famous rapids, named after the wild azaleas that bloom here in the spring. River pioneer Glen Woolridge, blasted a passage through this rapids using dynamite sunk in a weighted burlap sack.
Paradise Lodge sits just above the river. From the deck you can watch the river peacefully flow by.
From your beautiful rooms you will have a great view of the Devils Backbone. There is a lot to see and do at Paradise Lodge.
Paradise sits on a 85 acre parcel. On a calm stretch of the Rogue, just below blossum bar. At one time this stretch of the river was known as Paradise Bar, the first homesteader here was Charlie Pettinger who made this his home in 1903.
Last Day On Rogue River
With Lots Of Fish To Catch Today!
After a great night and a wonderful breakfast at the lodge we are back in the boats at 10:am. We have 12 miles today.
Mile 29: Huggin's Canyon. This section of the Rogue was named by Glen Wooldridge after a local hunter, Andy Huggins. Huggins lived for many years at Half Moon Bar, where his grave is located.
Mile 31.0: East Creek - south bank. This is the site of the former "General's Cabin" owned by Generals Eakers, Spaatz, LeMay, Anderson, and Twining. The land was sold to the group by Wooldridge as a former mining claim.
Mile 34.8: Flora Dell Creek -The creek is named after Flora Dell Thomas, Hathaway Jones' wife. Flora Dell Creek plunges over a 30 foot sheer wall into a deep trailside pool.
Mile 37.7: Watson Creek - Here are the remains of Buster Billings' cabin. This is also the End Of The Wild & Scenic Section of the Rogue River!
Mile 40.0: Foster Bar/Foster Creek- Named after Charles Foster, miner, packer and lieutenant in the military during the Indian wars. Foster escaped an Indian attack at this site and worked his way downriver to Port Orford (then Fort Orford). After the Indian wars Foster returned to settle in this area and married Catherine (a Karok Indian).
This is our take out point. Your shuttle van or your vehicles will meet us here.
This day is the end of our Journey together, people tend to be in a rush and attitudes tend to change about lunch time the 3rd day. If we could be so bold as to make one more suggestion. You and Your Group have traveled a long way to Fish the Famous Rogue River, take one more night for review.
From Foster Bar you could travel back to Grants Pass (3 hour drive) for one more night there. Or head to Gold Beach on Oregon's beautiful coast less than an hour away.
You can be showered and sharing stories of the trip over a 4 star dinner, on Oregon's Coast. One our favorite restaurant in Gold Beach is called Spinners, enjoy a terrific meal while viewing the Pacific Ocean. No rush, No hurry, enjoy your third day on the Rogue River knowing you have one more night of vacation...
