A meltdown is a condition where the Aspie temporarily loses control due to emotional responses to environmental factors.
It generally appears that the aspie has lost control over a single and specific issue however this is very rarely the case. Usually, the problem is the cumulation of a number of irritations which could span a fairly long period of time, particularly given the strong long-term memory facilities of the aspie.
Why the Problems Seem Hidden
Aspies don't tend to give a lot of clues that they are very irritated;
- their facial expressions very often will not convey the irritation
- their vocal tones will often remain flat even when they are fairly annoyed.
- Some things which annoy aspies would not be considered annoying to neurotypicals. This makes NT's less likely to pick up on a potential problem.
- Often Aspie grievances are aired as part of their normal conversation and may even be interpreted by NTs as part of their standard whinge.
What happens during a Meltdown
The meltdown appears to most people as a tantrum or dummy spit. There are marked differences between adults and children.
Children tend to flop onto the ground and shout, scream or cry. Quite often, they will display violent behaviour such as hitting or kicking.
In adults, due to social pressures, violent behaviour in public is less common. Shouting outbursts or emotional displays however can occur. More often though, it leads to depression and the aspie simply retreats into themselves and abandons social contact.
Some aspies describe the meltdown as a red or grey band across the eyes. I've certainly experienced this. There is a loss of control and a feeling of being a powerless observer outside the body. This can be dangerous as the aspie may strike out, particularly if the instigator is nearby or if they are taunted during a meltdown.
Sometimes, depression is the only outward visible sign of a meltdown. At other times, depression results when the aspie leaves their meltdown state and confronts the results of the meltdown. The depression is a result of guilt over abusive, shouting or violent behaviour. I will cover depression in a different post.
Dealing with Meltdowns in Children
There's not a great deal of that you can do when a meltdown occurs in a very young child. Probably the very best thing that you can do at their youngest ages is to train yourself to recognize a meltdown before it happens and take steps to avoid it.
Example: Aspies are quite possessive about their food and my youngest will sometimes decide that he does not want his meat to be cut up for him. When this happens, taking his plate from him and cutting his meat could cause a tantrum. The best way to deal with this is to avoid touching it for the first part of the meal until he starts to want your involvement. When this occurs, instead of taking his plate from him, it is more effective to lean over and help him to cut the first piece. Once he has cut the first piece with help, he will often allow the remaining pieces to be cut for him though I would still recommend that his plate not be moved.
Once the child reaches an age where they can understand, probably around seven years give or take a few. You can work on explaining the situation. One way you could do this would be to discreetly videotape a meltdown and allow them to watch it at a later date. You could then discuss the incident, explain why it isn't socially acceptable and give them some alternatives.
When I was little, I remember that the single best motivation for keeping control was once, when my mother called me in after play and talked about the day. In particular, she highlighted an incident where I had fallen over and hurt myself. She said, "did you see how your friend started to go home as soon as you fell over because they were scared that you were going to have a tantrum". She went on to say, "When you got up and laughed, they were so happy that they came racing back. I'm proud of you for not losing your temper".
I carried this with me for years later and would always strive to contain myself. I wouldn't always succeed but at least I was trying.
Meltdowns and Punishment
One of the most important things to realize is that Meltdowns are part of the Aspergers condition. They can't avoid them, merely try to reduce the damage. Punishing an aspie for a meltdown is like punishing someone for swearing when they hit their thumb with a hammer. It won't do any good whatsoever and can only serve to increase the distance between you and your child.
In addition, meltdowns aren't wholly caused by the current scenario but are usually the result of an overwhelming number of other issues. The one which "causes" the meltdown is the "straw that breaks the camels back". Unless you're a mind reader, you won't necessarily know what the other factors are and your aspie child may not be able to fully communicate the problem.
Meltdowns are part and parcel of Aspergers - they are NOT the result of poor parenting.
In my next meltdown post, I'll try to cover coping in adults.

It was fifteen years ago today – on October 12, 2000, some eleven months before the tragedy of September 11, 2001, that the U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer warship, USS COLE (DDG-67) was attacked by Al-Qaeda forces which bombed her while she was refueling in Aden, Yemen. Seventeen of her crew would be killed and 39 more would be seriously injured in what was the deadliest attack against a United States naval vessel since the USS STARK (FFG-31) incident in 1987.As a Navy veteran, as a patriot and as an American, I remember the brave men and women of the USS Cole's crew. I make this post in honor of those who served aboard her – with special honor and memory to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice while in service to country.
Continue to rest in peace, shipmates.

running? me?
Have I ever mentioned that I used to loathe running? That runners high or increase in endorphins people experience NEVER used to happen to me. But then something changed... I made a schedule and stuck to it. I saw improvement in my endurance and distance and I saw strength throughout my body which translated to success in trapeze! Suddenly I was getting excited to go out! So far, so good but the weather is bearable and I'm concerned what might happen to my running habits come November... December... you get the picture ;-)
Saturday afternoon afforded me some time to pick up my running training again. You see, a little over two weeks ago I strained my hamstring while water skiing. I thought it would be better after a week and when it wasn't I adopted an ice, stretch, and Icy Hot routine. This has been very helpful and provided me enough strength and flexibility to start running again. My ToughMudder race is four weeks from last Saturday so I have no time to miss a run, given my furthest distance to date is 5 miles and my race is nearly 12! That is why I have gone on runs the past three days; 2.12 miles, 4.10 miles, and 3.46 miles, respectively. My goal is to run six days per week and build myself up to 10-11 miles before the race. Because of the burn an exercise like an 8-10 mile run has on your body, I purchased a waist belt. I opted for the Nathan Speed 2R which has two "nutrition flasks", 8 oz. each for water, gatorade, or carbo-gel drinks. Since Ross' sister was kind enough to share some Shot Bloks with me - I'll give them a try first and rinse them down with water once I'm 60 minutes into a run.
In other running news, this is probably too much information, and you might want to skip this paragraph if you have a queasy stomach. I'm fairly sure the toe box of my running shoes is too narrow. In early July I noticed my pointer/second toenails turning dark purple as if I had a black and blue underneath. This was after I had developed big blisters on the tip of these toes! It was not a fun transformation to watch and I was warned by other runners that yes, my toenail would soon fall off. This got me very concerned. I was afraid it was going to hurt and my toe would be ultra sensitive without a nail. Plus, it's the summer and would eliminate the option of wearing sandals. Well, my toenail on my left foot finally fell off last week! And to my surprise there was a little toenail underneath, although it's still black and blue. My right toenail has not fallen off yet, though I expect it to happen within the next week. So, when I changed out my polish last night I opted for a dark purple... thankfully letting me wear sandals and hiding my toe trauma.
Since I've done three days of running in a row my legs are quite fatigued. Both calves are extremely sore and I am limping a bit when I get up. The plan for today is to stay very hydrated! Hopefully I can get back out on the road for about 4 miles tomorrow morning.

Awesome, good luck with your training!:) I was training for a half marathon and got soo addicted to running when I used to hate it too! Enough to get a stress fracture from it:( So be careful! I couldn't do the race. But that got me more into trapeze so, its all good!:) Also..I had tried Gatorades energy blok things..and lets just say they caused food poisoning like results. I would not recommend them.:)ReplyDelete

Fathoming the Atrocities
On that cloudless Tuesday morning in September, downtown Manhattan was engulfed by an eerie fog, a fog of dust and ashes. From the top floors of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, plumes of smoke billowed, and inside an inferno raged. The courtyard at the foot of the towers was strewn with aircraft debris, shattered glass, corpses. These were the bodies of "suicides" who had sought escape from the intense flames, fed by hundreds of gallons of airplane fuel, that were ripping through the towers. Hundreds of other desperate souls, hurrying down fire-escapes, were pulverized under tons of buckling girders and cement.
The massacre of September 11, 2001, claimed nearly 3,000 lives.
But it was calculated to kill many more. Of the other hijacked airplanes, one rammed into the Pentagon; the intended target of the fourth plane was the U.S. Capitol. By seeking to destroy the headquarters of the Department of Defense, the nation's legislature, the global hub of financial markets—by striking at organs crucial to the security and prosperity of America—the attacks were an assault on everything that depended on those organs. The attacks were intended to devastate the entire country.
The hostility unleashed against America on that day has extended also to our allies. On March 11, 2004, bombs on commuter trains in Madrid transformed the vibrant bustle of rush hour into a scene of unspeakable carnage. Human limbs and random chunks of flesh lay on the ground, amid pools of blood. Nearly 200 individuals perished, but, as with the attacks thirty months earlier in New York, the killers had hoped for a higher death toll. Police found and safely detonated three further explosive devices. Then London, in the summer of 2005, was hit by suicide bombings on three Tube trains and a No. 30 bus in the center of town. On one of the trains, the explosion left remains so mutilated and burned that they were scarcely recognizable as ever having been human. Fifty victims died, and 700 were injured; some had massive burns, some had limbs blown off. (Three weeks later another team of bombers attempted to strike the Tube system again, albeit unsuccessfully.)
The hostility of the killers is fierce. They diligently toil for our destruction. To them, human life is cheap—not merely the lives of their victims, but also their own. Unlike soldiers risking death in hopes of living to see their nation's army triumph, the attackers who strap on dynamite vests, who drive trucks laden with explosives into buildings, who deliberately crash airplanes into skyscrapers, do so certain of their own annihilation. They have no hope of surviving to see the success of whatever goal they are working to achieve. This perverse willingness to kill themselves in order to kill Americans makes the atrocities all the more bewildering.
Who are these killers? What drives their gleeful slaughter of human beings? What motivates their rabid hostility to America?
Explanations that have surfaced since 9/11 can be divided into two basic types. One exculpates the killers and blames America. The other exculpates America and blames the evil kingpins who put them up to it. . . .

This meme is kinda long and my answers are kinda boring. It's been an exhausting week in RL and my brain demands a rest, so I'll be walking about like a zombie for the next few days or so. If you say hi to me and I appear disoriented, just remember that I am a zombie.
My sotong Paul will be taking over all my liaison work for the rest of the week.
1. How long have you been blogging?
For this blog, since May 2010.
2. Why did you start blogging?
I like writing. When I discovered blogging, it seemed like a natural thing to start doing. I gave up my RL blog because it got too tiring to keep up, but SL seemed like a good excuse to start writing again.
3. How many times a week do you post an entry?
Um, from 7 posts a week to 1 post in 3 months.
4. How many different blogs do you read on a regular basis?
A lot. I like lifestyle blogs, both in RL and SL. Fashion blogs cannot hold my interest for too long. I like reading what people think and feeling out their lives, in other words I am nosy.
5. Do you comment on other people's blogs?
Yes, but rather irregularly. It really depends on my mood, and I often don't feel like talking. :p
6. Do you keep track of how many visitors you have?
I do, mostly out of curiosity. I like to know where they come from. I am nosy.
7. Did you ever regret a post that you wrote?
Only once, but that was in my RL blog which is no longer existent. A close friend thought I was talking about her when the person and situation in my mind was totally different. There was no harm done because the misunderstanding was cleared up almost immediately, but it made me realise how important it is to write clearly and tactfully. I made sure the problem was not repeated again.
8. Do you think your readers have a true sense of who you are based on your blog?
Yes, but they must know they only read a side of me. I have much more in my life than what I blog.
9. Do you blog under your real name?
I used to. Now I only blog under my SL name.
10. Are there topics that you would never blog about?
Of course. Many topics are not mine to judge or even reveal.
11. What is the theme/topic of your blog?
It is mostly a diary. "Rainbows, Rubbish, Ravings and Ramblings of my Random Existence" is quite an accurate description of what I do there.
12. Do you have more than one blog? If so, why?
I did up a blog for my vampire clan. I used to have one for my SL business, but it got too much to keep up with too, so I let it go.
13. What have you found to be the benefits of blogging?
Blogging opens a window for me to connect with people who identifies with part of me. It balances me up a little because I am sort of a recluse in RL.
14. So, why do you continue to blog?
Honestly, I don't make much of an effort to continue anymore. I only post if it is fun for me to do.

I've done it, people. You can quit looking. I've come up with what could very well be the ultimate Onnit Hemp Force Protein Powder shake recipe. I've been doing something similar for a while now, but Onnit just released its new Walnut Almond Cashew Trilogy Butter and it has taken my shakes over the top. It literally does taste like a milkshake now, so calling it a shake is actually quite fitting, except this particular shake is good for you.
I've been trying to cut down on dairy in favor of rice or almond milk, and fortunately there are a wide range of options from a variety of brands. I choose either a vanilla or chocolate rice or almond milk, but always unsweetened. The stevia that's added to the Hemp Force will add a bit of sweetness to the shake, but to be honest, I enjoy this milk substitute on its own and it tastes just fine, so there's really no reason to choose the sweetened variety.
With a cup or two of rice or almond milk as a base, I add in my Hemp Force, and then add in a banana, either a half or a whole depending on how big of a shake I want to make that day. I enjoy the taste of banana anyways, but I use it in this recipe because it thickens up the drink and gives it the consistency of an actual milkshake made with ice cream. Finally, I add in generous tablespoon or two of the new Walnut Almond Cashew Trilogy Butter. You can use regular natural peanut butter instead, which is what I used to do.
I'll review the Onnit Walnut Almond Cashew Trilogy Butter at a later date, but for now I'll just say that its benefits over using regular ol' peanut butter are numerous, especially when included in a drink designed for maximum protein. Not to mention it tastes tremendous, too. I actually prefer almonds over peanuts, so this works well for me.
So that's it! Then you blend it all up in your Blendtec blender (of course!) for a delicious, chocolatey, nutty, bananay (is that a word?) drink that's packed with protein and will give you a kick in the butt in the morning. It literally feels like a treat, not something that would be good for you. Below is the full recipe, and let me know in the comments if you have any Hemp Force recipes of your own that are good!
The Best Onnit Hemp Force Protein Powder Shake Recipe
- 1-2 cups of unsweetened chocolate or vanilla rice or almond milk
- a half or a whole banana
- 1-2 tablespoons of Onnit Walnut Almond Cashew Trilogy Butter
- 2-3 scoops of Onnit Hemp Force Protein Powder
- a few cubes of ice to make it cold

As a child, I was raised to always be home at dinner time and we always enjoyed dinner at the dining room table together as a family.Well, there is no doubt times have changed. Family dinner is, for the most part, a thing of the past, from what I can tell in reading some of my favorite blogs. I have to admit, this does sadden me. I can remember when our son was young this was when he would tell us about school, what this/that friend said/did, how a test went is this/that class, and we also discussed our weekend plans during this time. Granted, now that he is older and works numerous jobs, our family dinners are far and few between but when they do happen we still find so much to discuss and catch up on that I savor this time.
As an active family we spend many waking hours outside enjoying life. For us family dinner time today can be almost anywhere. When we have the opportunity to actually be together we often will choose to do something outside and fun rather than sit at home, prepare a big meal, and sit down together. That is not to say we don't pack up some food and take it with us to share in, what some may call, the oddest places to share a meal together. The point is, that a family meal can be shared anywhere you wish it to be shared. With just a little planning and some creativity it can be whatever you wish it to be.
Here are a few of the strangest places we have shared a family meal together.
the beach on a picnic blanket
over looking Lake Superior
top of Peter's Dome
tailgate of our truck
top of Devil's Lake Bluff
campsite deep in the woods
Rib Mountain picnic table
our front porch
tailgate of a friends truck
atop a kayak
our kitchen table(yes we do own one)
Christmas Day lunch from the back of our SUV
sitting around a campfire
picnic table over looking the Bay of Green Bay
As you can see, we can share a family meal almost anywhere and have it be special. During the spring, summer, and fall months, our dining room table is very rarely used, but that is not to say we still don't spend a lot of time together having family meals.
Do you think family meals are a thing of the past?
Do you have meal time as a family? If so, how often?
Why do you think family meals are a thing of the past?

A marketing strategy is a big beast. It encompasses everything from email marketing and content creation to PPC and website design. While each component is complex and important, they have to connect to be effective.
That's where brand guidelines come in: they ensure your marketing efforts all work towards the same goal and gradually build up brand recognition among potential and existing customers.
What does an effective marketing strategy look like?
The ultimate goal in marketing is to generate successful leads: to do that marketing has to ensure your brand is noticed and remembered by the right people at the right time.
An effective marketing strategy can achieve this, but only if you have one thing straight: your brand.
As Aristotle said, 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.' Your brand is the whole. The elements of your marketing strategy are the parts that must combine to achieve the same end goal: to tell the world who you are and why you're important.
You can initiate the best email marketing campaign and series of blog posts, but if they don't align with each other and with your brand, it will jar. An inconsistent brand experience not only weakens your marketing efforts - it promotes distrust among your customers.
A study into the impact of inconsistency on brand loyalty showed that consumers lost trust for their favourite brands if they noticed something was different. Since it costs more to attract new customers than it does to nurture existing ones, no company wants to lose its loyal fans.
Brand recognition at a glance
Brand recognition is a rapid process. According to Nielsen, consumers only buy from a small repertoire of brands, and the average customer spends 13 seconds purchasing those branded items in store. In other words, when your customer scans the shelves, they reach for what's familiar and they do it fast. This is known as 'instinct buying'.
Say you're looking for toothpaste. You immediately recognise Colgate on the shelf because it's what you usually buy*, and so you buy Colgate. You don't study the packaging to check if it's Colgate – you just know. This is instinct buying, and this is why consistent brand recognition is so important.
But it's not just in store that your brand has to be recognisable: your brand has to be instantly recognisable in any format. Take the example below. Can you tell which company this eBook cover and website homepage belong to after just a quick glance?
Even without the company's logo on show, the rounded font, the red colouring, and the words 'delivery', 'mail' and 'postage' all make it clear that this is Royal Mail. Despite the different formats, they both embody the same branding.
Enter the brand guidelines
Brand guidelines are an excellent way to compile all the features that make your brand distinct into one document. Implementing those guidelines is what turns 'musts' and 'must-nots' into meaningful marketing. It's what connects your email campaign and your blog series into one recognisable force.
What should brand guidelines include?
Your brand guidelines are a representation of what your brand should look and sound like to the public so they need to include everything that you value:
- A mission statement
- Fonts
- Heading sizes
- Logo colour
- Alternate logos
- Tone of voice guidelines
- Colour pallets
- Approved images
Good brand guidelines pull your marketing strategy together and ensure that every element works together. To make this all a little more tangible, we've gathered a couple of great examples of companies that have used brand guidelines to make their marketing strategy more effective.
Skype is a free piece of software that allows people to make phone calls all across the world from their computer or mobile phone. This is Skype's style guide.
Why do we like it?
It's fun, it's informative and it sums up exactly who we know Skype to be. The tone is playful - 'Never abuse our logo, it doesn't have arms so it can't fight back.' – and it gives an outline of how Skype's products should be explained:
Skype's branding in practice
This is Skype's homepage and Twitter profile. On both, the logo is familiar, the colouring is the same, and the tone is consistent and on point.
Google's style guide is more visual than wordy, but it's easy to understand.
Why do we like it?
It's comprehensive without being overwhelming. It covers everything from the old icons to the new ones, the right colour sequence, and favicons by showing 'correct' and 'incorrect' images:
Google's branding in practice
Let's face it, Google is the king of the internet and we just need to see those four colours to know who we're dealing with. Why? Because they're used consistently across all Google's marketing, especially with its apps.
Like most of the social networking sites, LinkedIn has a very distinct brand, it's strong colour choice and commitment to brand is probably why it's the 15th most popular social network site in the world.
Why do we like it?
LinkedIn is ALL about the user, they are all about inclusivity and trust. They have developed their brand over the years to ensure that their platform is straightforward to use but is also focussed around building communities.
You can check out their brand guidelines here.
Brand matters
An effective marketing strategy needs a recognisable and consistent brand to promote. Customers need to know that when they see this colour with that font and this tone, it's your brand. Whether you're sending out newsletters or designing a landing page, they have to follow the same guide. If they don't, the effort you put into your marketing strategy will amount nothing.
(*Other toothpaste brands are available)

The Grand Tour: win tickets to see Clarkson, Hammond and May in Lapland
If you missed out on watching Clarkson, Hammond and May film The Grand Tour in Whitby, help may be at hand: Amazon is running a competition to win the chance to see the trio film in Lapland, Finland.
But you have to be quick: the competition closes at midnight on Thursday 27 October.
- WATCH: The Grand Tour first trailer released
- The Grand Tour fans from more than 100 countries want to visit Whitby
- Top Gear vs The Grand Tour: which presenters had the best cars?
Lapland, the home of Santa Claus, is a long way away, so fortunately the Amazon price for UK fans includes flights, accommodation and transfers. When they're not watching Clarkson, Hammond and May banter with one another, they can enjoy the luxury of the winter resort outside the Urho Kekkonnen National Park.
How do you enter? Check out www.amazon.co.uk/GTLapland for all you need to know.
The Finland filming will be part of the 12-episode launch series of The Grand Tour. The ex-Top Gear trio have signed up with Amazon for three such series, so anticipation is high for the airing of the first one, which goes out on Friday 18 November.
As its name suggests, The Grand Tour sees Clarkson, Hammond and May tour the globe for filming: they've already been to Johannesburg, California, Rotterdam and, of course, North Yorkshire: they're also planning to go to Germany and Nashville before the year is out.
But will you win the chance to see them filming in Lapland? Well, you've got to be in it to win it. What are you waiting for?

On Friday the FDIC closed five more banks!
That's the most banks closed in one week since April 29, 2011 — one full year ago.
Bank foreclosures had slowed dramatically in the past six months. Only one was closed in April until Friday's foreclosures. Only five were closed in March and four in February.
So what has changed?

In addition, Harby published poetry and short stories in several magazines and newspapers, including Ladies' Home Journal and Neale's Monthly. An active member of several state historical associations, Harby was also a member of the American Historical Association, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Daughters of the American Revolution.

For one reason or another, everyone seems to have their own favorite time of year; to some, winter or spring may be a dream come true, as both have much to offer in terms of festivities.
For winter, you have the wonders of the holiday season; while spring brings about Easter and a gorgeous array of blooming flowers and plant life.
However, if no season can compare to summer — in your opinion– then you're likely painstakingly counting down the days until this June. Why not do so in a way that showcases your love for the summer season while also adding a significantly unique focal point to your home or business office?
This can be achieved with fluorescent light covers:
Discover Fluorescent Light Covers
Having grown rapidly in popularity over the last few years, decorative fluorescent light covers are, without a doubt, an innovation when it comes to decorative lighting and can truly transform any room or space into a work of impeccable art and beauty.
Made primarily of a light diffusing panel, light covers go over any existing fluorescent lighting and display a wide array of images to create an incredible effect on the eye. Although, they're mainly used in homes, offices and businesses, fluorescent light covers are more-than-appropriate for any space you plan on installing fluorescent light fixtures in.
For instance, if your kitchen is extremely cramped and is without windows, then the smartest and most cost-effective solution is to install cloud-themed fluorescent light covers on your kitchen ceiling. With these in place, the images of clouds and the blue sky are showcased whenever you or someone else walks in your kitchen, creating the exact same effect of a real skylight, without the huge cost and hassle of installing real skylights.
Now that you know what fluorescent light covers are, in order to understand why they're the best option when it comes to preparing for the upcoming summer season, let's explore our most popular summer-themed light covers:

Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, and Steve Leialoha have a lot to juggle in "Fables" #131. Between the recent deaths of Bigby Wolf and Prince Brandish, plus the return of Bigby and Snow's missing daughter Therese, it's easy to see how there's a lot of material to cover. Unfortunately, with all of this plus a new storyline kicking off as Rose Red decides to found a new Camelot, "Fables" #131 feels a little terse in its storytelling.
Most of the plot developments here are fine. The basic story structure isn't the problem. The problem is that everyone sounds like they're talking at the reader rather than to another character; things are stated in a perfunctory manner, and few of the conversations (especially the one between Dr. Swineheart and Leigh) sound natural. Dr. Swineheart has always been a bit of a clipped personality, but here things happen in such a flat manner that all the surprises feel somewhat sapped of their strength.
It's a frustrating shift because one of the big strengths of "Fables" in years past has been the amount of fun Willingham brings to the characters. It's great having all of these different story tale beings walking around, but what's kept the book going for over ten years now is the personalities that Willingham's imbued them with. That feels remarkably absent here; even a character like Rose Red, who's been around since the first issue, feels a little flatter and missing that spring in her step.
The one thing that remains rock-solid is the art, but that's not a surprise. Buckingham and Leialoha continue to draw beautifully rounded faces, energetic bodies and the beautiful page borders for each character as they take the lead. Rose Red's sudden joyous face when she thinks of Camelot is a great example; readers can practically see her whirl around and snap her fingers because of how Buckingham lays out the panels and their progression of visuals from one to the next. Add that grin on her face and the spark in her eyes and suddenly everything's burst to life perfectly.
"Fables" #131 feels a little rough around the edges, but by this point it's become increasingly clear that every time "Fables" hits one of these rocky patches, things right themselves shortly. This isn't one of the better issues of "Fables," but if it leads to something better then this bump in the road shouldn't be too bad in the long run.

{Pictures from our most recent trip-February 2018}
I can't stress enough that I am no Disney expert and there are amazing Disney resources online for tips and tricks. I do get a lot of friends and family ask for my advice on their first trips and things like that and I usually send them a long long long series of texts or something so I thought I would put it all in one place. These are my opinions only and things that have worked for us! There are a lot of changes happening this summer-Pixar Fest, refurbishments, return of some awesome parades, Bugs Land closing (I'm devastated) etc. I recommend going to Magic Kingdom Mamas site, they keep up with EVERYTHING and are the best resource!
Go follow "Disney Hungry", "First Comes Disney" and "Magic Kingdom Mamas" on Instagram. I have my favorite treats that I will tell you about and a few of the great food finds we have loved and not loved so far.
Treats and Snacks:`
Favorite FAVORITE-Matterhorn Macaroon (sold at Jolly Holiday at the end of Main Street) It is a coconut macaroon covered in white chocolate and it is amazing. Ben and the kids love it too so I usually grab two.
Mickey Beignets. You can get these at the Mint Julep Bar or Cafe Orleans. The only difference is they are more expensive at Cafe Orleans but they do come with two dipping sauces. We usually just get them at the Mint Julep Bar. I love them in the morning as breakfast haha. Warning-powdered sugar EVERYWHERE.
Pooh's Corner. Right when you get off the Winne the Pooh ride there is the cutest little confectionary with every Disney treat you could dream of. I haven't tried everything I have wanted to but I surprisingly loved the Tigger Tail. The Mickey Rice Krispy was really good but not the best I've ever had. The peanut butter square that people rave about, I didn't love like I thought I would (I still really want to try the s'mores square). The cookies I have tried were good, but not the best ever.
Jalapeno and Cheese Stuffed Pretzel. I mean the pretzels at Disney are all good but this one is amazing. I think there might be more locations but the one I know of is the cart in Frontierland right outside the Mark Twain Riverboat entrance. It is exactly how it sounds, not too spicy at all (the kids eat it) but such good flavor.
Churro-overrated in my opinion. I seriously think Costco churros are just as good and 1/5th of the price. Although I know this opinion is definitely in the minority.
Dole Whip-I like this but don't love it (also an unpopular opinion) It is great on a really hot day, I just wish you got more for your money. It is refreshing, I am just more of a baked treats kind of girl. If you do get the Dole whip, make sure to go into the Tiki Room waiting area and order on that side, it is always way less of a line than the outside line.
Ice Cream-If you like Ice cream you have to have a sundae or a cone at Ghiradelli's in California Adventure. I'm not a huge ice cream person but I love getting a cone here. The scoops are ginormous and you can easily share. They have unreal looking sundaes too, on my list!
I tried the Mickey Raspberry Rose Macaron from Jolly Holiday last time. It was my very first macaron ever and it was really really good! They just came out with a rose gold lemon/strawberry one that looks even too pretty to eat.
The kids always want popcorn or cotton candy, and they are just normal popcorn and cotton candy!
Treats Bucket List:
Chocolate covered pineapple skewer from Pooh's Corner or Candy Palace
Smore's Square from Pooh's Corner or Candy Palace
Churro Funnel Cake from Big Hungry Bear
Peanut Butter Heaven Ball from Pooh's Corner
Ghiradelli's Crissy Field Sundae
Food Food:
Like I said, we have tried such a tiny fraction of all the food but this is what we have liked.
If we need something for breakfast, the breakfast Burrito from the Galactic Grill is soo good and filling (we can share it). We also tried the french toast sticks there and they were delicious (but sooo messy with the kids).
We don't usually eat breakfast at the parks but I have read every Disney blog out there and the most popular options seem to be Flo's in Cars Land and the Carnation Cafe (on my list one of these days).
I love the Chilli Burger and onion rings from Hungry Bear. (I also have been dying to try their funnel cakes).
I love the sandwiches at Jolly Holiday too. Ben doesn't though, they are too girly he says haha.
I have liked most everything we have had at Rancho Del Zocalo. It is fast and not crazy expensive.
We have eaten a few times at the Plaza Inn. Ben and I split the Fried Chicken meal (so good) meal and get some pasta for the kids to split. It is not crazy filling but perfect because you have room for dessert.
I tried the popular Chile Cone Queso for the first time at Cozy Cone this last time and loved it. I have heard good things about the Bacon Mac and Cheese Cone there too.
Best Corndog I have ever had at Little Red Wagon Corndogs.
I have not liked any of the dinner or lunch options for myself at Flo's in Cars Land but you can get a Mac and Cheese side there for $2 and it is big enough for the kid's lunch (we get one for each of them)! They love it and it is the same Mac and Cheese that is $6 at other places in the park.
They have famous soup in a bread bowl at Pacific Wharf. I don't like the popular clam chowder (only because I don't like any clam chowder) but such a fan of broccoli cheese and sometimes they have chicken pot pie in a bread bowl which is my favorite. Another great soup option is the loaded baked potato at Carnation Cafe (with a side of fried pickles) The perfect lunch! (You need a reservation here)
Seriously go follow those accounts I mentioned, they have reviewed basically everything in the parks. We usually try to eat "cheaper" for meals so I can have more treats and snacks, so I don't know much about the sit-down places. I have heard good things about the Beef Dip at French Market, the famous Monte Cristo Sandwich at Cafe Orleans and people love Carnation Cafe. I have heard Blue Bayou (the one inside the Pirates ride) is overrated for the price.
My food bucket list is still:
Gumbo in a bread bowl from Royal Street Veranda
French Dip from the French Market
Famous Monte Cristo Sandwich and Pomme Frites at Cafe Orleans
Breakfast at Carnation Cafe-especially their apple granola pancakes
Ben is dying to try the Lobster Nachos from Cove Bar (currently closed, but will reopen under new name and still serve these)
Bengal BBQ Pork Belly Skewers
The Paradise Garden Grill (Gyros, and skewers and rice and greek salad etc)
Ok here is my two cents about rides, fast passes, and schedules. Park Hoppers are awesome but not necessary if you don't want to spend the extra money. It is nice to be able to hop back and forth from the parks if one is busy/not as busy etc. as well as for shows and dining options. If you do park hop, I highly recommend getting the max pass ($10 per person) as you can get all your fast passes from your app, rather than walk back and forth to parks for 100 miles. Everyone says head to Fantasyland first but that is where EVERYONE goes first. It is always busy, Peter Pan will basically always have a 30-40 minute wait whether you go first thing or later in the afternoon. I say head to Adventureland or Tomorrowland first! Go get a fast pass for Space Mountain, then go over and go on Pirates and Haunted Mansion with no lines, then Big Thunder Mountain (or fast pass it later). Then go on Space Mountain with your FP, get a new FP for Star Tours, go on Buzz Lightyear, Autopia etc. Basically just stalk the wait times, and go with the flow.
Here are the rides you get Fast Passes for:
Remember you can only have one fast pass at a time. For example: At 8am you go get a fast pass for Star Tours. The fast pass will say "You can use this fast pass from 9:30-10:30am" so that is when you can go on the ride and "redeem" your fast pass. The fast pass will also tell you "You cannot get another fast pass until 9:30am. Sometimes the FP's will be an hour from when you get it, sometimes they will be 3 hours away. If they are more than an hour away, it will usually be about 1.5 hours until you are allowed to obtain another one. So just plan your route accordingly.
If you are planning on going to see an evening show like Fantasmic or World of Color that night (which you should they are amazing!) Go get fast passes for the shows sometimes soon in the morning for the best spot. Although more important than the fast pass is starting to line up early. At least an hour before showtime, an hour and a half if you want the best seats in the house.
Fast Pass these rides in Disneyland (in no particular order):
Space Mountain
Star Tours
Splash Mountain (also there is single rider line)
Indiana Jones (single rider line)
Big Thunder Mountain
Matterhorn (If you even want to go on this ride, I DO NOT like it)
Haunted Mansion if there are waits over 20 minutes and you have the option to pull another fast pass.
California Adventure
Get Radiator Springs FP first, very first thing of your day (They sell out of Fast passes first and often)
World of Color
Guardians of the Galaxy (These also sell out so get these next)
Soaring Over the World
Toy Story Midway Mania
California Screaming (reopens June 23rd, 2018) (Also single rider line.)
Goofy Sky School if the line is over 20 minutes and you have a fast pass to use.
-Get there early. Be in the parking garage at least an hour before the gates open. The least crowded times of all day is the first few hours after opening.
-If you don't have magic morning, go on the opposite days. Example: If there is a magic morning at Disneyland, start in CA, and vice versa.
-If your kids still nap, go to the Abe Lincoln Theatre on Main Street, it is air-conditioned and quiet, same with animation studios in CA.
-We always eat breakfast before we come, bring in sandwiches and a ton of snacks and then eat dinner somewhere at the parks.
-Bring big, huge water bottles! Water is so expensive there and you will need A LOT!
-Also, bring a portable charger. It sucks to have your phone die when you want more pictures, plus you will need to check the Disney app about 1000 times a day.
-Start getting your seats for parades and shows at least an hour before start time.
-We still haven't decided if the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure or The Toy Story Parking structure is better. There are pros and cons to both. The Mickey one only has one tiny elevator (and you can't take your stroller down the escalators. Then you have to take a tram where there is only one car that holds strollers so if there's a line it can take a long time. The Toy Story one you take buses and not trams (you still have to take down your stroller though) but not as long lines and they take you right to the gates!
-Park hopper tickets are awesome, but not necessary if you don't want to spend the extra money.
-The baby care centers (one in each park) are great for nursing, changing diapers, they have little toilets for toddlers and sell wipes/diapers etc. that we somehow always end up having to buy.
-Go stalk magic kingdom mamas website, they have information on absolutely everything.
-FANNY PACK!!! I cannot stress this enough. They don't do paper fast passes anymore (they still print them out but just as a reminder) you have to scan your park pass for everything. So keep your passes and your phone in your fanny pack and it will save you so much time!
-Go to Target beforehand and buy the disposable rain ponchos (they're less than $2) in case it rains, also we wear ours on splash mountain and Grizzly River Run like little nerds and it will save you chaffing in soggy wet clothes. The ponchos they sell in Disneyland are like $15.
-Bring a sweater for everyone, even in the summer, it gets cold at night fast, especially for the kids. If you have room, we usually bring a thin small blanket to sit on while we wait for parades/shows.
-At the end of the night, after fireworks, main street and the trams are completely insane. We have found taking the monorail out to Downtown Disney and then walking is quicker (only if you're in the Mickey and Friends lot though).
-Take advantage of Rider Switch. So if you are with a baby or even a toddler you can do this. So if we are going on a ride that the baby can't go on, you go to the cast member at the front of the ride and ask for a rider switch. So I go with Everett while Ben watches Patrick, and then Ben gets to go with Everett while I watch Patrick.
-If you haven't been recently, rider switch has kind of changed. If you want to fast pass something, everyone who is riding needs to have a fast pass on their card. So if you have paid for max pass, you have to buy one for the kid too. Does that make sense? Before you could get away with only 2 of the people getting fast passes, and then switch with people who don't have fast passes, but you can't do that anymore.
-Another nice place to chill and take a break is Toontown. We usually sit in Goofy's house on a bench there in the shade and eat our lunch we brought while the kids play.
-In my experience Roger Rabbit, Mr. Toads and Pinnochio are too scary for little kids.
-Hidden Mickey's are on a lot of the rides, especially the older ones. Everett discovered them this last trip and it was his favorite part of the whole trip. You can look them up on youtube beforehand so you know where to look. Some of them are really hard, but it adds a fun element to the ride!
-If the park is crazy and you want a break here are some rides and areas that consistently have short or no wait times and can always count on are Turtle Talk with Crush Show, most rides in Bugs Land, It's Tough to be a Bug Show (CLOSED-SO SAD) Tiki Room, Red Woods Challenge, Chip and Dale's Treehouse, Tom Sawyers Island, Mark Twain Riverboat and all the houses in Toontown.

Every year tourists from all over the Czech Republic and abroad get off a train in Benesov, however few with the aim to visit the Bohemian town. Almost all of them head for Konopiste Castle, one of the country's most attractive sites, which is just about a 2 km walk from the railway station. But in today's Spotlight, we take a look at the history of Benesov itself. The town has over 16,200 inhabitants today and lies just 37 km southeast of Prague between the Sazava river and Blanik - the hill where, according to legend, St. Wenceslas and his warriors
The Sazava Monastery, which shares its name with the town and river Sazava, was declared a national cultural monument in 1962 by the Czechoslovak state. It is one of the oldest and best preserved monasteries in all of Bohemia. It is also important as an early cultural bridge between the eastern and western branches of the church and because of its use of the Old Slavonic, the first written Slavic language.
Bohuslav Jan Prochazka and his companion Jindrich Kubiasa set off from the Prague Auto Club on Opletalova Street 70 years ago, on April 25, 1936. They were driving a Skoda Rapid car - and their aim was to set a new record for travelling 360 degrees around the world. In this special programme, Prochazka's son Bret tells us all about this remarkable journey.
I was trapped in this nightmare...Perhaps I'd seen too many Fellini movies. I was in a dining room...was I? - squeezing behind the seats of people eating...feasting. I'd adopted that sideways, crab-like creep that makes one believe one is paper-thin, but still I was passing uncomfortably close by these revellers...these strangers. Who were all these people? None of them seem to recognize me, or even acknowledge my existence. I felt I was intruding. No, it wasn't Fellini. Instead, more like something from that interminable film 'Last Year in
Southern Bohemia is home to some of the most beautiful and idyllic destinations in the Czech Republic - from the historic town of Tabor to the jewel that is Cesky Krumlov. One destination in the area, somewhat lesser-known but also attractive that you might consider visiting, is Bechyne, located around forty kilometres from Tabor. Found on a dramatic promontory, the town of just 6,000 features an historic monastery, a fantastic fifty-metre high bridge that spans the nearby Luznice River, and the oldest ceramics school in the country. It may not
What first comes to mind when someone mentions the Czech Republic? Most people think of good beer, some think of the former president Vaclav Havel ; others of Jaromir Jagr or Pavel Nedved. However despite the fact that the Czech Republic has been a fully fledged member of the EU since 2004, few people in Europe and beyond know much about it. The Czech Foreign Ministry has launched a campaign to change that and aims to present the Czech Republic as a modern, dynamic state in the heart of Europe.
There is one corner of England that is forever Czech. If you drive through the open, windswept landscape of the Thames marshes just beyond the eastern suburbs of London, you come to a rather unlikely modernist Czech Utopia. This is the small town of East Tilbury, built almost entirely in the 1930s. When the great Czech shoe magnate, Tomas Bata, arrived here 75 years ago, this was nothing but farmland. It was the time when the Bata shoe empire, which he had built up in the eastern Czech town of Zlin was expanding fast, with a mission to "shoe the
Late into Monday hundreds of Czechs tourists - including many children - were among those at risk at a resort on Greece's Chalkidiki peninsula where a forest fire broke out following days of intense heat and an extensive dry spell. Strong winds fanning the flames soon saw the fire spread along a nine kilometre area leading to some panic and hasty evacuations.
Every summer the last few years my wife and I have regularly planned vacations around the Czech Republic and areas we've travelled through have included southern Bohemia, the Moravian wine region in the southeast of the country, and the Czech-Moravian highlands. Each year we take mountain bikes as our main means of transport and combined with the railways the match-up usually works great: many trains offer special cars for bikes now and the system works fairly well, as long as you remember a few important things.

Published at Wednesday, July 24th, 2019 - 09:55:15 AM. Bedding. By Fernand Genet.
There are many kinds of adjustable beds in the market, which can be chosen as per the personal requirements of the user. There is no single type of adjustable bed that is suitable for everyone. Professional medical advice can also be sought before buying an adjustable bed. The right kind of bed is all the more important for people who are bed-ridden or to those who have to remain in bed for long hours. Adjustable beds are also available for children with disabilities.
A canopy bed has a ceiling built into its frame. You can hang curtains from this ceiling, and these curtains block out the noise and light that can be so distracting when you are trying to sleep. Canopy beds come in a variety of materials--both wood and metal frame--and in many styles. Most models start at full size beds and size up to kings.

5 Bespoke Shops in Singapore
Cookie-cutter pieces begone. GRACE MA uncovers bespoke buys in Singapore that will make your home look like a temple of modern art and design.
Published on Nov 29, 2016
BIG BRANDS MAY be stamping their mark in Singapore with flagship stores, but the real retail renegades are independent labels that have been capturing the hearts and wallets of savvy collectors with designs that reflect artisanal craftsmanship and a twist on traditional Asian motifs. Instead of items that shout out a social status, these pièces du jour tell stories of culture and tradition while showcasing techniques that have been revered through time. From Burmese-inspired leather bomber jackets to limited-edition ceramic plates imprinted with Singapore icons, here are five boutiques to check out for the next conversation starter in your wardrobe and home.
You'll have to help your dinner guests discern what is edible with Atomi's contemporary kitchen and tableware. Brass trivets, cocktail picks and bottle-openers take on the forms of onion cross-sections, apple stems and lotus-root slices so pretty that eating may have to wait until after all the Instagrams have abated. Spurred by a passion for Japanese artisanal craftsmanship and the desire to make everyday living "more comfortable, stylish and pleasant," Singaporean Andrew Tan and his Japanese wife Mitsuko curate items so unusual that you would be hard pressed to find some of them in even the quirkiest shops in Japan, Andrew says.

Chin Chelliah Bottinelli hung up her advertising hat to chase a childhood dream of owning her own interior design business when she opened the 28-square-meter Asiatique Collection back in 1998, in then-emerging hipster 'hood Dempsey Hill. Her spot-on aesthetic instincts quickly made her a favorite among a well-traveled clientele. The store has now grown into a 465-square-meter treasure trove of mantelpiece stunners ranging from platinum and marble snake bookends to handcrafted malachite plates from Portugal. To elevate your next flower arrangement with a little Southeast Asian flavor, opt for the Pointillist Vessel (S$1,490) from Thailand, which replicates the texture of the native jackfruit in hand-cast bronze.

I am woman, hear me roar. There is nothing dainty in Singaporean street-luxe label Chi Chi Von Tang, by online independent label retailer Gnossem's founder Lisa Crosswhite. Her signature Warrior Bomber jackets silhouette is offered in sleek camo and bold prints of the traditional Chinese emperor jacket and the elegant cheongsam (S$475). Tribal designs, creamy cupro fabric, rustic-colored silks and highly textured linen rule the Fall/Winter 2016 Burma collection came to the store in August, reflecting the impact of Crosswhite's recent trip to the Kayah State of Burma with National Geographic photographers Noelia Madiedo and Jens Uwe Parkitny. "I was struck by how proud, open-hearted and strong the women were. I loved how they represented another concept of beauty and style." Go ahead, all you badass babes, be the bomb.

Carolyn Kan has focused on Singaporean designers and artisans under Keepers showcases and popup stores since September 2011, while developing her own playful creations for her Carrie K. Artisan Jewellery atelier. "I want to build a community that brings together independent designers, artists and artisans," she says, "with people who value unique design and time taken to make things well." In May 2016, Keepers found a permanent home in the National Design Centre as Keepers XVI: Home Is Where the Heart Is, where visitors can sample selected local brands and meet the brains behind the bronze…and silks and leathers and porcelains. Take home memories of iconic heritage 'hoods such as Chinatown and Little India encapsulated in labels Binary Style's limited-edition polyester and silk chiffon scarves (from S$65) and Onlewo's new fabric placemats (S$48 for two) and coasters (S$20 for a set of four).
Here's your quintessential store for products that pump with artisanal and patriotic pride. Industrial designer and owner Edwin Low came up with the name Supermama in an homage to his wife's unhesitating yes to the question of starting a business right after their second child was born, and adopted the logo from a midnight doodling session with his elder child. Low is personal friends with the designer behind each collection, and his talented social circle is the lifeblood powering this hub of contemporary Singaporean cultural gifts. The 2016 edition of the Singapore Architecture ceramic plate (S$24 for a 15-centimeter plate), which landed in stores in September 2016, is a sure-fire-hit souvenir.

Hello from Savannah!
As you all know, Sister Sevy went home last week and I have a new companion–companion number 4 within 4 transfers in 1 area! Introducing…Sister Frandsen! We're getting along well; we have similar personalities and senses of humor, so we get along great. She's helping me stay working and happy :)
I love them–J was in a lot of pain but they came to church anyway and left after the sacrament to go to the ER. They said they came so that they could feel the spirit because they knew they'd need it. I love them so much! I'm going to miss them when they move to Michigan on Friday.
Our mission president has asked us to bear testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ whenever we see anyone–member, nonmember, less active. We went to visit a less active family who we have been working with quite a bit, and shared a scripture on the Atonement of Jesus Christ and his love and just bore testimony that he lives and that he is our Savior. Immediately afterwards we sat quiet for a minute, and the mom turned to us and told us that they'd be at church on Sunday. She decided, on her own after feeling the Spirit testify that Jesus Christ is her Savior, that she and her family needed to come to church.
I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and that he knows me perfectly and personally. He knows every physical or emotional pain, every fear, everything wrong someone did to me, everything wrong I did. He knows how those feel, and because he does he knows how to help me. And its the exact same for you. I love him, he is my big brother.
I love you all!
Sister Waddoups
p.s. [we asked her about her current favorite hymn and scripture]: My favorite hymn…our mission theme song is The Time is Far Spent (I think it's hymn number 266) and that's kind of my favorite right now (of course, I like it fast, about twice as fast as it's written). I love each of the verses, but right now my favorite is the third. "The angels are waiting to crown you with blessings, go forward be faithful the promise is sure!"
My favorite scripture is Helaman 10:4-5. I found it the other day and loved how it talked about not fearing man and focusing on the will of God and encouraged me to continue "with unwearyingness declar[ing] the word." Those are all my favorite things/the things I've learned most on my mission all wrapped up in one. It's my current favorite mission scripture. I love it.

It wasn't easy, Connecticut retained its hold on the No. 1 in the TopDrawerSoccer.com
Twin killing: Two streaks came to an end when Maryland took down Creighton 1-0 on Friday in one of the bigger matches of the season. For starters, the Blue Jays dropped their first match of the season and in doing so also allowed their first goal to an opponent. It came with Casey Townsend converted a 10-yard strike in the 13th minute which stood up for the match. It wasn't Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile but it was a kind of milestone for Creighton opponents and makes them feel all the more human from here on out.
