Born 1929
Died 2010
held at
Caulfield, Victoria
12TH April 2010
Celebrant: Sylvia Johnson
Today we pay tribute to Betty Carisbrook Mueller who passed away on the 5th April, 2010. On behalf of her husband, Ernie, thank you for your sympathy, thoughts, cards and flowers, and for being with him now. It does mean so much. And also you are here in your own right in remembering your times shared with Betty, and from your emails and calls, there were many.
This is the only ceremony for Betty who will be privately cremated later on, and please join Ernie for Morning Tea and a good catch up and chat afterwards.
This time together is a time of honouring and reflection, and to uphold Ernie who was the devoted and loving husband of Betty for some 37 years, and how he will miss her, for aside from her work as a Civil Marriage Celebrant, (that ceased due to ill health), these two were inseparable, enjoying one another's company in the everyday functions of life around their home. Content with one another, and with the company of close friends and neighbours; they didn't go to shows, the pictures, eat out, or take long holidays….a couple of breaks to visit relatives in NSW and a trip to Foster, plus a few weekend drives either into the country or by the sea, was about all.
Betty enjoyed her favourite shows on Television, of course, many comedy and satire…that had to be well written; she was proud of her home, stylishly decorated and she enjoyed cooking, with Ernie saying she was a very good cook. Unusual for a Pom, she was a coffee person, not tea! Betty also enjoyed the Pokies, regularly taking off to the local to see if she could win a few $$'s and even if she loss a little, it was the enjoyment of the venue and fellow players that was equally important to her.. for Betty enjoyed people, and you certainly you had to if you are going to succeed as a Celebrant.
But to understand Betty more, we need to take a step back, right back to when she was born in Harrow, North East of London on the 3rd August 1929 to parents Joseph, known as Jo and Yvette (she was French) Hinden. She was one of 3 girls and two boys, all deceased. Her father Jo, who Betty was very fond of, was a cabinet maker, and obviously successful in being able to adequately provide for his family in those very difficult years pre-war years.
There are a couple of pieces of his work in her home in Carnegie.
Betty went to Harrow on the Hill school – a very bright pupil, with her hand regularly going up in the air in wanting to answer a question…..to the extent her teachers said she didn't need to for they knew she knew the answers.
Where and for how long she attended High or Secondary School we are not sure, but again, would have been an outstanding pupil having a mind like a sponge balanced by a delicious sense of fun.
Later Betty married and had two sons, Stephen and David….lovely that her daughter in law, Margaret is here with Hew, Guy and Teddy.
How she entered the world of script-writing again, we are not sure, but she must have been very good at it for she became one of a number of brilliant scriptwriters for "The Two Ronnies" – who you well know as one of the most popular comedy shows of all times…….no doubt it was through her brilliant and quick mind, her wht and her rather wicked sense of humour. This was when they were staring within The Frost Report with David Frost.
Later Betty emigrated to Australia with her husband Donald and the two boys, hopeful of a better life, making their home in Sydney and working in various positions, at one stage Ernie thought she may have been teaching as there was little work for scriptwriters in a country that largely bought its TV shows from America and the UK.
Betty and Ernie met on a boat bound for Europe where they were to catch up with family, and after their separate return to Sydney they married, Ernie thinks in 1965/ 66…somewhere around there.
The Mavis Brampton Show was a very brave intrusion into the rather conventional television being watched in Australia in the mid 60's. It was a show of topical satire, brave enough to send anyone and anything up including Royalty, Prime Ministers, The Pope, religion, politics, whatever they could put a great spin on. Thus is was hugely successful, rating up again the popular Graeme Kennedy and Perry Como Show……. Betty was fortunate or clever or both, to be on the script-writing team. And what delights she would have had working for the many 'stars' of the show including the highly naughty Gordon Chater…I wonder if the famous Pie Eater routine was hers!!
And then the move to Melbourne in the late '60's where Ernie developed a new business in his field of printing.
Civil Wedding or Civil Marriage Ceremonies were rare in those days, but Betty liked the sound of them, and of course, knew she would be good at it. With her broad command of the English language, a fine pen, a love of romance, outlandish and making people happy…she was a natural. But it wasn't easy as the Australian Government had not got their head around such 'away from the Church' ceremonies'.
Thank heavens for the then Attorney General, Lionel Murphy who bravely paved the way, and more bravely the first appointed Celebrants such as Dally Messenger, Lyn Knorr, Dawn Dixon, Alma Gino, Rick Barkley, to name a few.
Betty was No. 50. Today there are thousands….but we won't go into that for Betty certainly did not approved of the current criteria for mass appointments. Some elementary training does not a celebrant make!!
Last Friday I advised through my Celebrants Associations the passing of Betty, and was delighted to receive a number of responses, all via email, and it is right that I share them with you now, in realizing just how much Betty was respected for her tenacity and commitment to celebrancy, her nailing retorts, and her outlandish ways.
From Dally Messenger who operates the International College of Celebrancy …...
Betty was a pioneer celebrant. Of the 99 celebrants appointed personally by Lionel Murphy she was the 50th. What many may not know is that with her former husband, Donald Carisbrooke, she was the author of the young people's Encyclopaedia of Australia (published in 1969). She was quite an academic and intellectual - totally without pretension.
In the 60s she was a scriptwriter for the Mavis Bramston show - a comedy TV show which was the talk of Australia. She wrote some famous skits, the most famous of which was a send up of a group of men in an Anzac Day Reunion -- from the point of view of the women who returned from the war.
She also had a program on 3AW in the 70s by which she popularised civil celebrancy.
She had own sense of humour which some people found hilarious, but others did not understand or appreciate. Consequently, as a celebrant, she was much discussed!
She deeply resented the OPD requirements (this is the current formal training Celebrants must take, and retake), which she felt were a burden to the older celebrants, and a mark of disrespect for the pioneer work she and others had contributed to the celebrant program. She deeply resented the Attorney General's Department for never giving any acknowledgment or recognition to those who established the program.
It was hard watching her struggle with illness in her final years. She was such a personality and character in our midst.
Fondly Dally Messenger
From Lyn Knorr – Civil Celebrant …. I'm so pleased you are doing Betty's funeral. She had a wicked sense of humour and a great sense of style - her own style. She was witty and would be quick with an aside at the very hint of pomposity.
You couldn't miss her - she was always dressed in something that would attract attention and she loved colour. She was, as were many of the early celebrants, one of life's great characters. There was not a hint of beige about her!
Betty Carisbrooke-Mueller, one of the more colourful personalities. Betty put knitted ponchos and long ugg boots into a few wedding albums - and I do recall that her clients needed to have no allergies to cats!
Dawn Dickson, Cranbourne North
I sometimes wonder if she was the celebrant who triggered off Dally's often commented on quote "celebrants wearing pink mocassins".
A couple who were friends of mine, brought me their wedding photo and sure enough Betty had the ugg boots on.
There were some rather unique individuals amongst the oldies.
Thanks for letting us know Sylvia….....
From Lydia Periitore…….
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Betty. I only met her two years ago during one of Dally's OPDs and drove her home that night, and she made me laugh so much that I almost had an accident! I thought she was the wittiest person I had ever met, and I feel so privileged to have known her if only very briefly.
From a celebrant – Susanne Hurst - Please mention our admiration and respect for Betty's persistence and courage in facing undoubted hostility, calumny and blocking tactics. It's still facing us all and it is personally very debilitating to deal with over time.
I didn't know her personally, but feel about it just the same.
And from Alma Gino………
Hi Sylvia, am so glad you are doing Betty's eulogy - your voice is warm and caring (Alma phoned from Adelaide Sunday morning). Betty and I were two of the oldies appointed back in the early days. We lived close to each other and were friends from the start. She was a truly colourful person much, much larger than life. I loved her anecdotes, her wicked sense of humour and that she had a way with words that made them come alive. She had the gift of vivacity and loved an audience. The private Betty and the public Betty were totally different. Her humour was infectious, bless her, she was as bright and colourful as the kaleidoscope of colours she wore and loved vale betty… Please email me a copy of your service….which of course I will, and to all other contributing celebrants.
Ceremony continued ....... I wonder what Betty thought of much of today's so called comedy, particularly that shown on Television, I doubt she would approve; for it is more grunge than clever, more obvious than suggestive, and where is the wit and just plain silliness that we desperately need today! ….. and certainly there are not the brilliant character actors of the past.
And of weddings, in many cases lost is the delight of the romance and the magic and joy of the celebration. Replaced by a structured format goaded by the Wedding Magazines and Wedding Venues… often presided over by 'conventional celebrants'. Such a pity, when as Betty saw it….they can be so much more.
Ernie mentioned that Betty was never 'really well', not that you would know it. Going back many years her left kidney had to be removed, and when she went to a Melbourne hospital for an unknown complaint, with the Indian surgeon saying her right kidney was infected and had to be removed…. they fled the place, literally on the next plane to her Sydney specialist who treated her successfully. You might gather Betty's description of the Melbourne experience would have been highly colourful!!!
As part of the natural transitions of life, ill-health invariably happens, and for Betty in came in the form of a heart attack, leading to surgery, a very difficult by-pass operation from which she never recovered. In the last few days she had a massive stroke, and with the body unable to function on its own, it was Betty's time to go. Ernie was with her when she died, very peacefully at Cabrini Hospital, Melbourne, Easter Monday the 5th April, 2010. She had lived some 80 years on this earth.
There should indeed be many more Betty Muller's in this world and even though she was a little lady – Ernie could fit her under his arm-pit….as you have gathered she sure packed a punch and left her mark in more ways than a hundred. As Lyn Knorr said, 'there was nothing beige about Betty"© Sylvia Johnson
Our sincere thanks Sylvia and to Betty's husband Ernie Mueller's permission for these extracts and photo of Betty.

Volume 10, Issue 2, Summer 1992
In The Pink
Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) are born hairless, already weighing up to a third of their mother's weight. For up to an hour or so after birth, the baby remains attached to its mother by the umbilical cord, preventing it from falling while mother and baby become familiar with each other's scent and vocalizations. Mothers roost separately from their babies who cluster tightly to maintain warmth, sometimes at 500 per square foot. Remarkably, each mother finds and nurses her own baby amidst the mass of pink bodies vocalizing for attention.
These bats of the American West and Southeast give birth to a single young from mid-June to early July. At least half won't survive their first year, and in the absence of human interference, colony numbers tend to stabilize with normal mortality from old age.
Young will first learn to fly in four to five weeks.

The first week of Inktober has passed ? and I have managed to successfully do 7 illustrations with inking involved. I draw often anyway , but doing more line work with accuracy has always been tough because my art style is naturally sketchy.
Ink is permanent and once it's down you can't go back, so there is a certain level on confidence you need to have with your mark making when putting pen to paper which is why the whole challenge of Inktober was created in the first place.
I am not an inking expert so this blog post is as much as a reminder for me as it is to help others if possible. If you are a bit like me and have issues with inking here are some of the things that have helped me improve so far.
Draw on a flat surface
It may sound obvious but draw on a table! We have all done it… drawn on our laps in the comfort of our favourite chair. Being cozy is a great way to feel at home drawing but if you are trying to put down lines with something that cannot be erased it's not the best idea to work on an uneven surface. Give yourself some room… room to turn the paper around..round to move your arms so you can move the pen and make your lines and a flat surface so you can concentrate and have a steady hand. You will see the difference on making your lines more steady.
Have a good pre\ sketch
It all depends on your style of course…. but having a good pencil sketch to start off with is going to help you immensely. Like I say my normal style is very sketchy so I normally tend to add things into my artwork as I go a long….but as I knew I was going to be doing a lot of pen work this Inktober and I knew I wasn't very good at it and I had to put in some extra work. I knew my sketches/ideas had to be on point first. Throughout the week, where my ideas and sketches hasn't been as thought out as some I can see the final pen work was to be less desired. Simply because I wasn't 100% certain what I wanted the final lines to be. Make the time to really sketch in pencil first. Once you get more confident with inking and your style of drawing you can go back to looser pencil work and then ink with more confidence.
Give yourself time
I draw a-lot and I draw fast…. so what Inktober is teaching me also is to slow down! Give yourself enough time to do your drawing. I know the task is to draw daily but don't forget the main point of the task is to also improve. So give yourself an extra half hour to plan your sketches or spend time carefully inking. I can't tell you how many pieces I have ruined by just rushing my line work because I want to get it out. Give yourself that extra time so you can produce those steady lines.
Have your tools out and ready
Get your tools out and in front of you, once you are in a flow, you don't want to have to keep getting up to find tools. How many times have you picked up a pen and it's not the right size and you think 'hmmm I will just use this one it will be alright' and then you totally make a mistake because it's waaay too thick. Get everything you think you want to use out first and before putting pen to paper just do a test on some scrap paper so you have an idea of the mark you are going to potentially make.
Inktober is a challenge and for most of us we are doing something out of the norm. So take some chances and try new things. Experiment with markings and patten making and using ink to make things more dramatic. Some of my fav pieces this week have come about from experimenting and making markings I don't make normally make in my work. I know when you think of inking we think of concentrating and making steady lines, but don't be afraid o flick the pen , make scribbles to add texture… you name it. You can have fun with ink!
Lastly I just want to say don't get caught up in looking at others work and thinking you will never be as good. This is your journey and it takes time and practice to develop new skills, so give yourself time to learn. You may think you are practising and practising but it still doesn't look like others, remember art is unique and no-one draws exactly like another. So embrace your style and make ink work for you.

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are growing in popularity, so it's important that nonprofit leaders familiarize themselves with how to use DAFs as a funding source.
A recent report from the National Philanthropic Trust (NPT) estimates that nonprofit contributions from DAFs increased nearly 10 percent between 2015 and 2016. DAFs currently hold nearly $85 billion in assets nationwide. Additionally, DAF contributions to nonprofits with less than $5 billion in assets have increased at a faster rate. This signals that newer, smaller nonprofits can utilize DAFs as a growing source of funding.
The recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) might also increase DAF usage, since these funds may provide more tax advantages than the traditional charitable deduction. Since the TCJA doubled the standard deduction, fewer taxpayers will take the charitable deduction and may consider DAFs as an alternative donation tool.
Nonprofits can work directly with DAFs as the sponsoring organization or seek DAF contributions from a foundation that serves as the sponsoring organizations for a group of funds. Foundations solicit DAF contributions and distribute those funds to different local nonprofits. Working directly with a DAF may provide more flexibility, but community foundations reduce the amount of administrative work involved for the donor.
Be Your Own Sponsoring Organization
If your nonprofit serves as the sponsoring organization for the DAF, you have control over how the assets are used to fund your operations. However, you'll be responsible for compliance with additional laws and regulations.
Under IRS rules, DAF transactions could be subject to excise taxes if they don't stay within certain parameters. These rules are meant to ensure that donations are used for a truly charitable purpose and that DAF donors or advisors do not have influence over how funds are used. IRS scrutiny of DAF and nonprofit relationships has increased due to their popularity.
DAFs can be passed down to heirs, but that's not a guarantee. So, as the sponsoring organization, be aware of how DAF assets might get passed on to family members or fund advisers.
Soliciting From Foundations
Just as your nonprofit solicits direct donations, it can also seek DAF funding through larger foundations. These include large philanthropic trusts and charitable offshoots of financial firms.
Accessing foundation funding requires establishing or maintaining a relationship with the foundation and seeking funding for projects that align with the foundation's goals. You'll then need to carefully track for those approved projects so that the foundation can review how its awarded funds were spent. On the plus side, relying on foundations to access the DAF market relieves your nonprofit of the administrative burden of overseeing the fund contributions.
DAF Tax Benefits
Because of the TCJA, the number of taxpayers using the standard deduction is expected to increase from 70 percent to 90 percent. With so many fewer taxpayers able to directly benefit from the charitable deduction, more donors may turn toward DAFs to make charitable contributions.
The new tax law also increased the annual adjusted gross income (AGI) cap for charitable contributions. Previously, a taxpayer could only donate up to 50 percent of their AGI in a given year, but now they can contribute up to 60 percent.
Keep your donors aware of these options if the changes to the charitable deduction impact their giving. DAFs also give donors an immediate tax break and a convenient way to donate to a charity when they receive a one-time financial windfall, such as an inheritance.
DAFs have already grown in popularity and the TCJA could fuel that growth. To best position your nonprofit in this environment, plan out your DAF strategy and carefully consider the administrative and tax consequences.
For questions on how to incorporate donor-advised funds into your funding strategy, please contact your MarksNelson Professional at 816-743-7700.

What Is Data Expertise (IT)?
A extra notorious anti-technological treatise is Industrial Society and Its Future , written by the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and printed in several major newspapers (and later books) as a part of an effort to finish his bombing campaign of the techno-industrial infrastructure.We now have additionally added Digital Mammography/Stereotactic Biopsy, 4D ultrasound for OB/GYN, Pulmonary Navigation, Cysto Tables for the Urologist in our Working Room and in our Emergency Department REACH Tele-drugs Stroke Program in a partnership with The Medical College of South Carolina. But, the development in know-how has created a brand new economic setting which is dependent upon info and that is what I name '' INFORMATION AGE ", the data age provides a special work setting and this has helped small businesses acquire position in extremely aggressive markets. Analysis and Innovation actions will present professionals and residents with new tools to model, analyse, and visualise vast amounts of data from which to extract more value, to make an clever use of data coming from totally different sources and to create, access, exploit, and re-use all forms of digital content material in any language on any system.]]>

Recent reviews
Very good 8.0 From 32 reviews
This is truly an amazing place with a lot of history.
Location is great and the historic element of the building is definitely interesting. However, this place is not as advertised. Zero to little service available (saw staff once in two days)...room was much more dated than appears in photos. Window was broken in the bathroom and left vulnerable for a break-in. For the amount of money you spend to stay here, you're better off booking a real hotel. This place was an overall disappointment.
This is a very difficult place to stay. It takes many keys to enter. There is no one around on weekends to give assistance if there is an issue. The Princess Pia suite is entered from a hidden door in the staircase, then up narrow servant stairs to another locked door through a small room into the room all rather dark and complicated. Hot water was in short supply when we showered. They no longer deliver breakfast to the room instead you have to unlock another large door and enter another dark room. We were unable to get in the first day. While the location is very central a more comfortable room could be obtained in this price range. The room we were in was very shabby rather than antique. I could not recommend this location.
it was amazing to stay in a royal palace where Napoleon 111 and Handel once lived The decor especially the painted ceilings were remarkable. Food -other than a small breakfast- is not served here. That was fine for us as there were lots of excellent restaurants well within walking distance

With 24/7 lifestyles and over 80 different sleep disorders, it's probable that over 30% of your employees are affected by poor sleep[1]. Poor sleep is generally defined as less than 7 hours of sleep at night, and its residual effects are the stuff of nightmares. It's time to wake up to the value 7 to 8 hours of good sleep has on your workforce.
Picture this
An employee leaves work around 4pm to pick up the kids from practice. After dinner, it's time to get the little ones to bed. The employee turns their attention to the emails that have been in their inbox since 4pm. The employee then stays up responding to emails until 10:30 pm and when it's finally time to head to bed, one of the kids has trouble sleeping. Before the employees know it, their alarm goes off after only 6 hours of sleep.
This employee comes to work and now:
- They are sleep deprived and experience difficulties navigating through their day;
- They display symptoms of being irritable, impulsive, angry, stressed, depressed, less motivated, and anxious;
- Their altered states cause them to become slower at processing information and making decisions;
- They exhibit a lessened adaptability to changing environments; and
- They experience poor coping mechanisms.
Does this sound familiar?
The difficulties caused by poor sleep lead to higher incidences of sick leave and health issues reduced productivity at work and can lead to injuries, mistakes, and accidents in the workplace.Related: You Don't Snooze You Lose: 20 Sleep Tips To Better Sleep
This is especially true for organizations that operate on multiple shifts. A study published in February 2017 evaluated the impact of sleep on a global financial services corporation for about 9000 employees, including shift workers. The study found a strong U-shaped relationship between health care costs, short-term disability, absenteeism, and presenteeism and the hours of sleep found among employees. Essentially, the less sleep reported, the more negative outcomes were present.
So what can you do?
Sleep is designed to recharge our bodies and to help us function at full capacity. Help your employees view the importance of sleep and productivity like they view their smartphones battery levels.
Here are 3 suggestions to consider when evaluating sleep's impact on your workforce:
- Survey your employees on their sleep habits. You won't know if you don't ask!
- Start a sleep challenge using wearable devices and apps to measure sleep stages and durations.
- Promote the employee Health Assessment on Blue Connect. There are currently three questions surrounding sleep. For example, "How many hours to do you sleep on average per day?" Based on their responses, their portal will suggest learning opportunities to improve their health.

In the case for Mars' demise,
Three years ago, Christopher McKay sent me a White Paper on
Maria Marinova's presentation of the Mega Impact which has obviously
destructed an entire planet.
Leaving two small remnants we see today, called: Phobos & Deimos.
]http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v4 … 07070.html
Otherwise, google up: "Dichotomy Mars Mega Impact"
What's equally fascinating is how the Hellas Basin on one side the planet
and the Tharsis Rise on the exact opposite were created by
the Newton's Cradle effect at a time when the Planet was still soft inside
during its early stages of development.
As evidenced by the magnetometric photo map from nasa, the dominant south pole
was disturbed and upsetting it's axis nearly 51 degrees.
Now, if we can only get the assistance to a Laboratory's Super Computer and
Back-Date the time-line to the moment of impact.
That would be nice, yes?

The idea proposed in this paper is not consistent with accepted ideas of Mars. Most scientists now accept that the northern hemisphere had an ocean. The northern depression is rimmed by an escarpment. On Earth, weight of ocean water depresses crust into the mantle, causing the underside of ocean floor crust to melt, becoming thinner. Total thickness of crust plus water is roughly equal to continental crust. It's about weight floating on hot magma. The belief is the same occurred on Mars, when Mars was still hot. The weight of water causes the crust to subside, which causes a depression that collects water. That causes water to collect into an ocean basin, rather than spreading evenly over the surface. Obviously there's a limit; when the ocean crust becomes too thin, heat will conduct to the water, which will cool the crust preventing further melting. That will limit depth of the ocean basin. This occurred on Earth, and still occurs. Mars is too cold now, most likely the planet has cooled so that sort of crustal movement no longer happens.
Hellas Basic is different. That's clearly a giant impact crater. And Tharsis is exactly the opposite side of the planet. Obviously whatever impacted Mars caused a shock wave so intense that it caused volcanoes to erupt on the opposite side: Olympus Mons, etc.
The abstract for the linked paper doesn't mention the moons of Mars. Telescope spectra are consistent with carbonaceous chondrite asteroids (C-type), so scientific belief is both moons of Mars are captured asteroids. Earth's moon (Luna) has the same crustal elements and same isotopes as Earth's crust, which is why scientists believe Earth's moon is the result of impact. But Mars moons are different. Why would they be the result of impact?
The Mars moons could have been created from volcanic eruption since mars gravity is so low and a sudden burst would have propelled massive amounts of magma towards orbit.

Weight Loss Tips for Men - The metabolism and other aspects of men and women differ. For men to lose weight, they need to have lifestyle which helps in gearing their biochemistry towards weight loss.
The dietary requirements in men are way different from those in women. Food intake and the body's metabolism also differ. In order to lose weight, therefore, men must work in a way specifically suited to their body. Some of the
[Read: Common Weight Loss Mistakes]
Weight loss tips for men are as follows:
- Before you go out to eat, for a meal or a casual snack, have a glass full of protein smoothie. While it tastes great, it also serves the purpose of making you feel full for long. There would not be a need to binge eat as your body would not be inclined so much foodwise.
- Whenever you go somewhere, park your car on the other side of the parking lot. This facilitates a quick power walk. Moreover, if you are carrying something back, all the better, lest it is a box of sweets.
- Keep to the mantra 'Nothing after 9'. This implies no meals or unhealthy food after 9 p.m. Plan the last meal or snack at a time when the body will utilize it before you go off to sleep.
- It is good to have a cheat day. Usually Friday or Saturday is the most appropriate, since it has been a long week and you need a break. Keep in mind not to overindulge. This is for you to just eat something you usually would not eat during the week.
[Read: Diet Chart for Weight Loss]
- Avoid going to buffets and other such places where there are many food choices since the more food choices you have, the more you will eat, especially, too much of the wrong foods.
- Avoid eating fast and savour every bite. Try to spend 15 to 20 minutes for eating each and every meal.
- Avoid eating high-glycemic fruits such as bananas, papayas, mangoes, kiwis, pineapples, honeydew melons, watermelons, cantaloupes, raisins and all kinds of fruit juices.
- Another weight loss tip for men entails working out on your weekends. It is difficult to find a good enough reason not to work out on the weekends. But if you can find time for it, it implies you are getting closer to your goal.
- Alternatively, work out after you get through with your work on Friday, before you go out for a binge eating session or a meal out. This way you will think twice about eating and drinking everything in sight Friday evening.
- Always take the stairs. Doing this a couple of times a day is a step forward toward towards weight loss success.
- If you feel like snacking, opt for a protein shake, apple with low-fat cheese, orange with handful of almonds, or celery or carrots with low-fat cheese. This will satiate your craving and not add too much weight to the system.
- Cravings invariably last a span of 15 minutes. Thus, when you have a craving, avoid eating for at least 15 minutes.
These weight loss tips for men will surely help in the long run.

When Do You Want To Go?
This beautiful city is a little historic wonder as it dates back to the 16h century, a time when Spanish Conquistadors were thriving with wealth from the nearby mountains of Potosi. It is all still evident in the many beautiful and grand buildings and churches, which have given the city its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
But as much as architecture may be a highlight in Sucre, there are many other reasons that make this town worth visiting. Let's start with food - from local Bolivian dishes to vegetarian delights and exquisite European fine dining restaurants, anything is possible, as long as you stay hungry! Museums are also a big attraction in Sucre and we highly recommend visiting one of the city's fine museums, which will cover a wide range of themes that go from religious art, gemstones, ethnography, indigenous art to folklore.
Are you a hiker? Sucre also provides wonderful trek options in the surrounding countryside. - Waterfalls and remote indigenous village are included but don't be surprised if you spot a few dinosaur footprints along the way! (Yes, it is possible). You can also explore shops and markets in the city center, as well as the Parque Cretácico where you can learn tons about dinosaurs.
Located in the South-Central part of the country, Sucre is the 6th most populated city in Bolivia and also renowned for being one of South America's most impressive colonial cities.
Sucre is a beautiful city to visit all year long, but the ideal time would be during the dry season - April to September.

There's an old drama-biz crack about audiences "humming the scenery" as they leave a show — a sarcastic way of suggesting that a stage production essentially lives or dies on story, performances or (in the case of musicals) songs.
But if you're producing a play that's heavily focused on the creation of visual art, you'd better have scenery that really does sing. Or so believe the people at New Village Arts Theatre, where the Jamie Pachino drama "Waving Goodbye" opens this week.
"This is the biggest set we've ever built," says Kristianne Kurner, co-founder and executive artistic director of the Carlsbad company. "It starts as a
She adds, after a pause: "At least that's what we're going for."
"Waving Goodbye"
New Village Arts Theatre
When: Previews begin Wednesday. Opens Saturday. Schedule: Thursdays-Fridays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 3 and 8 p.m. (no matinee Jan. 15); Sundays, 2 p.m., through Feb. 6.
Where: 2787 State St., Carlsbad
Tickets: $25-30 (pay-what-you-can Jan. 12-14)
Phone: (760) 433-3245
Online: newvillagearts.org
It's a tall order. Literally. The design includes ladders and aeries meant to evoke mountain climbing, a pursuit that figures into one of the character's stories. But it's in keeping with an ambitious season for the 10-year-old NVA, which last fall staged its first-ever musical, "Into the Woods."
Pachino's play focuses on the fraught relationship between Lily (Rachael VanWormer), a 17-year-old aspiring photographer, and her sculptor mom, Amanda (Kurner), who has been absent for most of Lily's life. When Lily's climber dad dies on Mount Everest, she and Amanda must move back in together and come to terms with their pained past.
"I think it's exciting," Kurner says of the play's visual challenges, "because with theater we have the capacity to do these kinds of things live for an audience. (To present) this idea that everything going on inside these characters is being realized outside."
To create a living space that evolves into an art installation, Kurner and Director Dana Case enlisted resident set designer Tim Wallace (who has been a scenic artist at San Diego Opera for 20 years), artist Bryan Snyder and children's author/illustrator Janell Cannon ("Stellaluna"), a Carlsbad resident and frequent NVA contributor.
Wallace says the "Waving Goodbye" script is far from specific about how it should be staged, leaving ample latitude (which can be both liberating and intimidating) to try out ideas.
"The script says, 'There's a skylight that crashes,' " Wallace notes. "Well, you could do it with a flood of light, or it could be water, could be anything. So we're doing lights, water, sound, all of them."
Wallace's key inspiration has been "The Beanery," the artist Edward Kienholz's 1965 tableau based on an infamous watering hole in West Hollywood.
"The rawness and grittiness of it, that's what sticks with me," Wallace says of the Kienholz work, which included the smell of stale beer and other bar aromas. "That's what's in the back of my mind as I'm doing this.
"(But) everything, when it's done, sort of evokes the climbing father, and the (struggles of) the daughter. I hope people get it."
That would be music to any designer's ears.

Internet Drama
It was last June, as a new blogger, that I began to notice the phrase 'blogger drama'. Being new on the scene, I was pretty baffled. I struggled to grasp what about being a blogger could be so dramatic. Fast-forward to the present day and unfortunately, I've become a little more savvy. You're probably pretty savvy too, otherwise, why would you be here?
I'll begin by saying that as a blogger, I've found Twitter to be one of the best and most useful social media sites. Through it I've made connections with brands and bloggers. I've found a great deal of amazing, inspiring content, and if that wasn't enough, I have also utilised it to drive traffic back to my own blog. Despite its many benefits, one of Twitter's best and worst qualities is its abundance and diversity of opinions. Surely though, that isn't Twitter's fault? Twitter enables millions of users to follow like-minded content, to tweet feelings and experiences and stories and opinions. How we use that freedom is entirely up to ourselves as users.
My Experience
Thankfully, almost a year into my blogging journey I've managed to successfully avoid all direct 'blogger drama'. I haven't managed, however, to avoid all drama. Whether you're a blogger or not, there are people sitting in their online bubble who possess Twitter accounts seemingly for the sole purpose of causing arguments. It doesn't matter how uncontroversial you may think your tweet is, these strange and damaged people (or possibly bots, I don't know how those things work) who arguably enjoy challenging themselves to find a flaw or offence in order to shit on both your tweet and your day.
It may come as a surprise to you to learn that I'm not perfect. Although I'd love to preach this lesson in a concise manner, maybe via a meaningful (and unoriginal) one-liner like; 'turn the other cheek', it would make me a hypocrite. It would also turn this into a rather short and boring post. I admit that in the past I've allowed myself to be dragged into an argument. All because (someone who didn't even follow me) had an issue with one of my pro-environmentally friendly tweets. I mean, clearly, this guy hates the whole world. I've since reflected and concluded that arguing with a stranger online is a bad idea. It not only caused my blood pressure to rocket, it was also an absolute waste of MY time.
If you've been involved in any kind of online drama (which is very likely if you're reading this post), then you may or may not have come to the same conclusion as I did. IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT.
How to Avoid It
I don't even follow some of the accounts that seem to constantly be in the midst of the (usually blogger) drama. However thanks to Twitter showing me the 'likes' of the people I follow, it manages to spread much like a plague (or at least a pretty nasty cold) into my view. Trust me, I know how tempting it is to click onto the thread and read the hundreds of tweets. All of which have been furiously typed by different users who decided to allocate their time and energy into unnecessarily involving themselves. I don't know, maybe some of these people think that they have good reasons. Maybe they're defending a friend who posted a seemingly innocent tweet that an unfortunate, clearly bored person has started a witch-hunt against.
If you're the unfortunate, clearly bored person who has caused the drama in the first place, then you need more help than this post. Consider whether you'd have the audacity to go up to a stranger and speak those words to their face. If you would, then you'd be better off reading a post like 'how to be a nicer person'. I guess we've already established that you don't allocate your time well.
Twitter is not high school. There is absolutely no need for bitchy comments and judgmental people that think they're better than you because they're vegan or skinnier* or have a higher follower count etc. Once you have noticed said drama, I'd advise you to follow either of these two options:
- Scroll past it and carry on with your day! (have a good one)
- Take action! Find out whether you follow any of these unnecessarily negative nelly's and click UNFOLLOW. If you don't follow them, then head over to their account and click 'mute'. Unless you have a serious and direct issue with someone then I wouldn't advise that you click 'block'. This can just cause even further drama (when they find out that you've blocked them).
If the drama has come directly to your virtual doorstep, then I'd advise you to reconsider your tweet. Is it possible that you wrote it in a hurry or a temper. You may not have realised that it could come across as offensive? If so, delete it, apologize and move on. (It's probably not the case, but its worth a second thought.)
If you stand by your tweet, then follow the steps outlined above. Either simply ignore the negative replies or click 'mute'!
None of this is groundbreaking advice. However if like me, you needed a little self-reflection and encouragement to leave that drama alone, then I hope I've helped! Next time you ignore negativity then grab yourself a beverage and take a small moment to congratulate yourself on GETTING OVER IT. You can now spend your precious time on more productive and enjoyable things.
*I have nothing against vegans or skinny girls. These were used purely as (hopefully comedic) examples so please don't start any blogger drama over here!

LCCI launches Employment Portal for youth, business community
Lahore, January 09, 2019 (PPI-OT): The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry Wednesday launched "LCCI Employment Portal" in collaboration with Rozee.pk and has become first chamber of the country to implement take such an initiative to help government bring down graph of unemployment.

William Seth Parr
Pit, Haydock 1947
These are from MINING MEMORIES re- Lyme Pit 1947. The URL to the book
is <http://www.healeyhero.co.uk/rescue/Collection/ian/menu.htmroma.htm>
|The 1949
For some weeks, work to seal off the No1 pit, which was worked out, had been going on. The work was very hot due to heating and men employed in the task had been taken to hospital suffering from heat exhaustion.
At 5.45 on the morning of 16th September 1949, just as the night shift was off duty there was a terrific explosion which blew out a massive stopping constructed of sand and cement.
The mines Rescue Team from Boothstown was summoned and a team of five men went down the pit. Two of them lost their lives and another had a very escape. Jimmy Page aged 34 years and Harold Clare aged 48 years were both overcome by gas and Herbert Evitts aged 44 years was found unconscious and dragged to safety by William Seth Parr aged 33 years.
Evitts received the British Empire Medal and Seth Parr the George Medal. The citation in the 'London Gazette' read:- "In taking the decision to safety Parr was fully aware of the extreme risk . . . he had little oxygen left, and it was clear that, if he collapsed himself he could not rely on others helping him. . .".

Very chill to bike this trail. I did it early morning on weekdays . Wish it never ended
Great experience at Arroyo Simi !
I absolutely love walking on the Pacific electric trail. I am on it several times a week.
BUT there are no restroom facilities! The only one is at the trail hub....and that's it! What are we suppose to do? Not drink water while exercise? Pee in a bush on the side of the trail? There absolutely NEEDS to be restroom facilities along the trail.
This is definitely one of my favorite trails. It's well maintained, safe and easy to park.
The trail itself is as beautiful as ever, however, the place is infested with the homeless. I don't recommend anyone go there alone and at night. Not safe for women with children when the sun is low or gone. It's really unfortunate that the city can't really do anything about the homeless building communities alongside the trail border walls (the back of homes and businesses where all the greenery is), because of their legal human rights. Enjoy the trail, but be aware of your surrounding.
This is a great path to ride your bike fairly easy. my kids have done it from start to finish
Nice route to log in miles, pretty flat with some mild inclines. Great clean ride
As a lifelong resident of the Inland Empire and a Rancho Cucamonga homeowner, I've ridden this trail dozens of times over the years. It's extremely popular with locals and families for bicycling, walking, and jogging. For an urban area it has a great deal of good things going for it. There are also some not so great things.
THE GOOD: Off street, Class I trail following along the historic route of the extinct Pacific Electric Rail Line; some pretty views of the San Gabriel Mountains; historic, one hundred year old homes near downtown Upland; riding between Base Line Road in Fontana to Route 66 in Rancho Cucamonga.
THE BAD: The trail is frequently intersected by major thoroughfares and other streets so there are lots of stops and starts; you're essentially riding your bike between the block walled backyards of neighborhoods for much of the time or behind businesses; going uphill between Route 66 and Base Line Road in Rancho Cucamonga (according to my wife); downtown Fontana homeless.
THE UGLY: When heading west, don't bother going beyond Euclid Avenue in Upland since for the most part there's nothing but some sketchy apartments, warehouses, and industrial complexes the rest of the way.
CONCLUSION: I've traveled thousands of miles in the United States to ride my bike on beautiful, historic, once in a lifetime, bucket list worthy trails. This ain't one of 'em. As a Rancho Cucamonga resident I was excited when they constructed this since it's great, local urban bike riding, and an opportunity for walkers to get in their ten thousand steps or joggers their miles. However, don't plan a big vacation around this one (unless you're coming to visit friends or family and you need to get a bit of exercise).
Looking through the preceding 47 reviews, a title from May of 2013 sums this trail up best: "Better Than Riding a Stationary Bike".
CONSIDER: Just west of Vineyard Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga is a connecting trail called Cucamonga Creek Trail which goes north about six miles into the foothills of Rancho Cucamonga. It's a Class I asphalt trail, and the first few miles are moderately difficult and not especially well maintained, but the last few miles travel diagonally across the foothills and are easy and well maintained as you travel through neighborhoods of million dollar homes and ranches full of horses. Eventually you get to the crown jewel park in our city, Heritage Park, where you can enjoy valley and mountain views and have a picnic lunch. (I've taken my kids when they were little and my 10 year old granddaughter in recent years up this trail). Best of all, you can coast almost all the way back to the Pacific Electric Trail!
This trail has two parallel sides. We parked at West Creek Park – a lovely park about a mile south of the northern most trailhead on the western section. This beautiful park had nice restrooms, water and plenty of parking. The trail is often lined with a white fence passing through some residential and some commercial areas. The western section is less scenic than the eastern section and passes through more commercial sections. One of the good things about the western section is that it passes a shopping center that has the best breakfast restaurant in Santa Clarita: Eggs N Things. The western section connects to the South Fork Trail and that connects to the eastern section of the San Francisquito Creek Trail so you can easily do a loop ride. The eastern section ends at the same road (Copper Hill Drive) as the western section. It is a short distance over a bridge to connect back to the western section. In between the two segments is dry river bed. The eastern section is much prettier passing through a residential area with greenery planted on the side. Going north on either section is slightly uphill, which means downhill going south! There is a separate pedestrian path and two-lane bike path. The path is smooth, well maintained and very good for running, walking, biking and rolling on anything.
This trail is one of the many beautifully maintained connected trails in Santa Clarita. It runs through basically residential areas with the dry river bed on one side. (At least it is dry in now, in February). I think this would be a more scenic trail in the summer when the trees have leaves. However, there is a certain beauty to the dry riverbed. It follows along the power lines and provides a flat, smooth surface perfect for easy biking, running and generally any kind of "rolling" be it skateboards or roller blades. There is usually a separate lane for pedestrians making it very safe for runners and walkers.
The family has taken up rollerblading and we came here for our first outing. It was a smooth ride (hard to find on skates) and the kids were delighted with the big hills on each side of the bridge that ended in nice long straightaways to allow them to safely come to a stop. We didn't make it past the bridge because they insisted on going up and down them over and over. :)
As of the date of this review, the Arroyo Seco is closed for repairs. Most of the entry gates have been chained up. I was able to get on the path and it can be dangerous to anyone riding a bike. The recent storms have caused large boulders to slide down the hill on to the path along with mud and debris. There are also pieces of concrete/steel plating missing which is a hazard. I will post again once it is open.

3 women went out drinking, and decided to have a contest of who could get the drunkest. The next day the women all got together.
The first woman said, "I drove my car into a ditch."
The second woman said, "I blew chunks."
The third woman said, "I burned down my house."
After they all had told their stories, the third woman said, "I guess I won," and the second woman said, "You don't understand, Chunks is my dog."
Two wives go out for girls' night. Both got drunk, started walking home and had to pee. They stopped at a cemetery but had nothing to wipe with. One used her panties, the other grabbed a wreath off of a grave. The next morning one husband called the other and said, "no more girls night out! My wife came back with no panties." The other husband said, "you think that's bad? Mine came back with a card in her crack that read, 'from all of us at the fire station, we'll never forget you'!"
A Russian, an Italian and an Irishman got out of work and were deciding where to go for a drink. The Irishman said "Let's all go to O'Learys. With every third round, the bartender will give each of us a free Guiness." The Italian said "That sounds good, but if we go to Baldini's with every third round they bring a free bottle of wine to the table." The Russian said "That sounds fine but if we go to Gouvstof's we drink for free all night and then go out into the parking lot and get laid." "That sounds to good to be true!" the Irishman exclaimed. "Have you actually been there?" "No," the Russian replied, "but my wife goes there all the time."
A guy walks into a bar and sits down next to an extremely gorgeous woman. The first thing he notices about her though, are her pants. They were skin-tight, high-waisted and had no obvious mechanism (zipper, buttons or velcro) for opening them. After several minutes of puzzling over how she got the pants up over her hips, he finally worked up the nerve to ask her. "Excuse me miss, but how do you get into your pants?" "Well," she replied, "you can start by buying me a drink."
A rather confident man walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, then casually looks at his new iWatch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?" "No," he replies, "I work for Apple and I'm testing the new iWatch Pro." The intrigued woman says, "iWatch Pro? What's so special about it?" "It has new sensors and sends messages to me through my wrist" he explains. "What's it telling you now?" she asked. "Well, it says you're not wearing any panties." he said. The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken then because I am wearing panties!" The man explains, "Damn thing must be an hour fast."
A Texan bought a round of drinks for all in the bar and announced that his wife had just produced a typical Texas baby, weighing a whopping twenty pounds. "WOW!" was the response from everyone at the bar. Two weeks later the Texan returned to the bar. The bartender recognized him and asked, "Aren't you the father of the baby that weighed twenty pounds at birth? How much does he weigh now?" The proud father answered, "10 pounds." The bartender said, "Why? I know that babies lose some weight after birth, but ten pounds? He did weigh twenty pounds, didn't he? What happened? The proud Texas father said, "Just had him circumcised!"
A guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman. After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks, tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?" She yells, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!" Everyone in the bar is now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table. After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations." To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200!?!"
Q: How do you know when the barmaid is really pissed off?
A: When you find a string in your bloody mary.
A blonde, a brunette and a redhead walked into a bar.
The brunette said to the bartender "I'll have a B and C."
"What's a B and C?" asked the bartender.
"Bourbon and Coke," replied the brunette.
"I'll have a G and T," said the red head.
"What's a G and T?" asked the bartender.
"Gin and tonic." replied the red head.
"I'll have a15," said the blonde.
"What's a 15?" asked the bartender.
The blonde rolled her eyes and said,"Duh, a 7 and 7."
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel on the front of his pants. The bartender asks, "What's with the wheel?" The pirate says, "Arrrr! It drives me nuts!"
Two guys are sitting in a fourth story bar drinking. The first guy stands up and says, "I'm done," and walks to the window, jumps out, then blows right back in. He says, "I knew it, the draft was too strong," and he sits back down.
A few minutes later, the other guy says, "I'm done," and jumps out the window and falls to his death. The bartender turns to the first guy and says, "Superman, you sure are an asshole when you're drunk!"
"I can't find a cause for your illness," the doctor said. "Frankly, I think it's due to drinking." "In that case," replied his blonde patient, "I'll come back when you're sober."
Q. What's the difference between St. Patrick's Day and Martin Luther King Day?
A. On St. Patrick's Day everyone wishes they were Irish.
One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb and try his keys on five different cars before he found his. The man sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes. Meanwhile, all the other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to pull away. The police officer was waiting for him. As soon as he pulled onto the street, the officer stopped him, read him his rights and administered the breathalyzer test to determine his blood-alcohol content. The results showed a reading of 0.0.The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."
Two homeless men are devising a plan to get free drinks at a bar. The first one has an idea: "We'll buy a hot dog and stick it down your pants, walk into the bar, get our drinks, drink, and when the bartender asks for his money, you pull down your pants and I suck on the hot dog that you put down there. He'll kick us out, and we wont have to pay. It's brilliant!" The second man agrees and they do this in the first bar where it works just as planned. Then they hit up 4 more bars and the first man says, "This is great, getting all these free drinks!" The other man replies, "Yeah, especially because the hot dog fell out at the first bar."
The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar one day and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said, "Who owns the big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gunbelt, and said, "I do. Why?" The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you would like to know that your horse is just about dead outside!!" The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and, sure enough, Silver was about dead from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got him some water and made him drink it, and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better." Tonto said, "Sure Kemosabe", and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and announces, "Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stands again and claims, "I do. What is wrong with him this time?" The cowboy says to him, "Nothing much, I just wanted you to know............ you left your Injun running!!!"
Three best friends are at the corner bar on a Friday night as usual. One of them is an Italian, one is Black and the other is Jewish. They are sitting around drinking some beers, and they make a wager. They bet who can make love to their wife and make her scream the longest. They agree to return next week and compare. Next week, they all arrive at the bar at the usual time with smiles on their faces. The Italian guy says, "I definitely won. I took my wife out to dinner, bought her roses, then took her home and made love to her. She screamed for an hour." The black guy says, "Man, that's nothin'. I cooked dinner for my wife, and for dessert I poured honey all over her and made love to her like never before. She screamed for two hours." The Jewish guy chimes in, "I got you both beat. I made love to my wife for 3 minutes, pulled out, then wiped my dick on the curtain. She's still screaming!"
A guy walks into a bar with a pet alligator by his side. He puts the alligator up on the bar and turns to the astonished patrons. "I'll make you a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my genitals inside. Then the gator will close his mouth for one minute. He'll then open his mouth and I'll remove my unit unscathed. In return for witnessing this spectacle, each of you will buy me a drink." The crowd murmured their approval. The man stood up on the bar, dropped his trousers, and placed his privates in the alligator's open mouth. The gator closed his mouth as the crowd gasped. After a minute, the man grabbed a beer bottle and rapped the alligator hard on the top of its head. The gator opened his mouth and the man removed his genitals unscathed as promised. The crowd cheered and the first of his free drinks was delivered. The man stood up again and made another offer. "I'll pay anyone $100 who's willing to give it a try". A hush fell over the crowd. After a while, a hand went up in the back of the bar. A gay guy timidly spoke up. "I'll try, but you have to promise not to hit me on the head with the beer bottle."
Yesterday, scientists in the United States revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones. To prove their theory, they fed one hundred men twelve pints of beer and observed that 100% of them started talking nonsense and couldn't drive.
An extremely drunk man looking for a whorehouse stumbles into a Podiatrist's office instead and weaves over to the receptionist. With out looking up, she waves him over to the examination bed and says, "Stick it through that curtain." Looking forward to something kinky, the drunk pulls out his penis and sticks it through the crack in the curtains. "That's not a foot!" screams the nurse on duty. "Holy shit, lady!" the drunk exclaims, "I never knew you had a minimum!"
There once was a blind man who decided to visit Texas. When he arrived on the plane, he felt the seats and said, "Wow, these seats are big!" The person next to him answered, "Everything is big in Texas." When he finally arrived in Texas, he decided to visit a bar. Upon arriving in the bar, he ordered a beer and got a mug placed between his hands. He exclaimed, "Wow these mugs are big!" The bartender replied, "Everything is big in Texas." After a couple of beers, the blind man asked the bartender where the bathroom was located. The bartender replied, "Second door to the right." The blind man headed for the bathroom, but accidentally tripped over and skipped the second door. Instead, he entered the third door, which lead to the swimming pool and fell into the pool by accident. Scared to death, the blind man started shouting, "Don't flush, don't flush!"

Definition : a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.
Fertile Mind, Fertile Body
The Fertile Body Method is a mind body approach to fertility which acknowledges the importance of working with fertility problems in a holistic way.
Hypnosis is potentially a very powerful and effective therapeutic tool and is used in many of the techniques and approaches suggested in the Fertile Body Method.
Hypnosis is a trance state induced through focusing attention on any current internal or external sensory experience; hypnotherapy is the art of utilising this state of absorption to facilitate inner change, which can positively impact on physical wellbeing and fertility.
How the FBM can help
The FBM can help enhance fertility by:
- Reducing stress and increasing feelings of calm and relaxation
- Restoring physical, mental and emotional balance and wellbeing
- Balance can be restored through relaxation, positive cognitive changes, visualisation and changes to diet, exercise and lifestyle
- Restoring hormonal balance, regulating the natural balance in the autonomic nervous system, regulating and restoring healthy immune system function
- Creating balance in the body can be further enhanced by creating balance in thinking. Decreasing negative self talk and excessive worry will help restore emotional and physical balance and ensure that these changes are maintained.
- Identifying and resolving issues which may be preventing conception (unconscious or conscious resistance).
Preparing the couple for conception by helping them:
- to make necessary changes to lifestyle, diet, smoking, alcohol and exercise habits
- to feel confident and ready for parenthood
- to Improve intimacy and sexual relationship (for natural conception)
- restore menstrual health, or sperm mobility and count
- prepare for IVF or other fertility treatment.
Providing support:
- Teaching self help tools that continue to enhance fertility
- To maintain the changes they have made
- Supporting the couple if they do conceive, to help carry the baby to full term
- Supporting the couple if treatment fails
- Supporting them to make decisions about fertility treatments and other options for parenthood
It can help by addressing and reducing the effects of infertility
People who have problems conceiving may experience a reduced sense of mental, emotional and physical wellbeing and leave them feeling stressed, frustrated, angry, jealous, guilty, hopeless, anxious or depressed. It can affect their work, friendships, family and relationships.
The FBM can help to reduce the negative effects of infertility by:
- Restoring self esteem and self worth
- Working through emotions e.g. anger, jealousy, guilt, stress, anxiety and depression
- Building coping skills and developing inner resources
- Ensuring their needs are being met
- Resolving relationship problems (partner, family and friends)
- Increasing sexual Intimacy and affection
- Restoring trust in one's body
- Reducing the negative effects of fertility treatment medication
- Restoring the body to good health after medical treatments
- Providing emotional support and an opportunity to talk openly
- Processing any death and loss
- Coming to terms with infertility
