Golly. Who knew you could combine the McCarthy hearings with Alice in Wonderland and make a non-story sound so alarming?
"We all support our friends — that doesn't mean we buy a membership for five years with a party that wants to break up Canada," Dimitri Soudas, director of communications for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, posted to Twitter on Tuesday.
"This is yet another worrying example of the NDP not (being) up to the job of governing Canada."
So Dimitri, so Con, so ghastly, and yet so funny.
As yet, there has been no official statement from the Bloc Quebecois, but I suspect it would consist of nothing but the French version of "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA".
Because if I was a Blocker I'd laugh too eh? Declaring that former separatists can't become federalists may or may not win an election... in English Canada. But it's a sure way to lose a country.
Oh boy. Look, for the record, Canada is a complex country not a simple one. Just about every Québécois and Québécoise is a soft nationalist. i.e. a member of the Quebec Nation, in Canada.
A lot of people
And as for Québec solidaire... it's a tiny feel good left-wing party/movement, the kind of group you would expect a decent social activist like Turmel to join.
Rather than working for independence for its own sake, QS works for an internationalist independence - an independence based on principles of social justice. For QS, independence is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
Because even in Don Cherry's dumb Canada, nuance is important eh?
Which makes me wonder why so many Liberal bloggers seem to be jumping on the Con bandwagon.
Do they think that bashing Turmel will resuscitate their party in Quebec? When it will only make her TWICE as popular.
Are they mad or just DESPERATE?
I mean do they REALLY want to help the Bloc make a comeback? Who do they think stands to gain from painting the
And who do they think put the cat among the pigeons?
No. Not these cats.
Or this one.
Luckily she managed to escape from Great Ugly Leader's horrible Animal Indoctrination and Experimentation Centre, and was finally adopted.
This one...
Yeah. Really. What a big pussy.
What a little story.
What a funny old country...

All Albertans can go fishing this weekend, even if they don't have a fishing licence.
Free fishing weekends, which occur twice a year, are an opportunity for Alberta residents of all ages to try out fishing, says a government news release.
"Fishing provides a tangible connection to the natural world and the serenity to appreciate that connection," Environment and Parks Minister Shannon Phillips says.
"Through free fishing weekends, Alberta makes that connection more accessible to those who are interested in discovering the beauty and joy of fishing."
Fishing may be free, but Alberta's sportfishing regulations still apply.
Before you head out, be sure to get a copy of the 2018 Alberta Guide to Sportfishing Regulations at any Fish and Wildlife office or wherever licences are sold.
The guide can also be downloaded at mywildalberta.com.
Anglers who wish to continue fishing after a free fishing weekend will need to obtain a wildlife identification number and an Alberta sportfishing licence.
These can be purchased at albertarelm.com.
Be a responsible angler.
-Know the regulations for waters which you fish, including the limits for each fish species.
-Know how to identify fish to better follow the regulations.
-Handle fish with care to help them survive after they have been released back into the water.
-When catching and releasing fish, use barbless hooks that are easier to remove.

A rainy day started with a smile. The cascading droplets, playing a delightful tune on my window. Bursts of energy in the skies, wind thrashing at the pane, droplets turning to individual streams. Rivers of water from clouds of grey, sad in it's colour, yet a happy patter of sound.
The sound of crunchy, fallen amber leaf turned to silken mulch. Bouncy steps, soggy shoes and refreshing showers. A sensory marvel, a swift change from previous days. Do I prefer this to sweltering heat? I think I do… With my newfound love of taking in my surroundings and simple focus on otherwise unnoticeable, uncontrollable feats. I can see the beauty in the ugly, I see the significance of the insignificant.
I'm starting to really understand how to effectively keep my mind at peace. The simple things keep an otherwise rampant and over processing mind free and at ease. Whether this can help during times of despair, I do not know. A simple raindrop. A footstep on drenched leaves. The smell of a rain soaked patio. It is simplistic bliss.
Watching the sun draw and dry the ground as quickly as it was soaked. Birds tweeting, as if relieved to see the sun again, fleeting movement from bird table to tree. In unison before the rain hits again. Blues, greens and yellows, a smudge in the air as they swoop and feast. Autumn may bring warming shades but our feathered friends never fail to add a dash of bright colour.
I feel I've rambled as I sit, wander and wonder. The ramblings of a man in awe of his surroundings and at peace within his noggin. It's truly amazing…

This Lady's Pizza Hair Head Shave Is Just Everything
Sylist Jasmine Meadows-Birch asked her also-stylist friend Kelly Woodford to give her pizza hair. This is the result: a pizza hair head shave. Isn't it glorious? The 'do can also be completely hidden if she lets her hair down. Why would someone want to hide such perfection? I don't know! I honestly can not think of a single reason.

So Lila (left) is emotionally scarred and Georgia (right) will do anything for a gummy bear. Parenting win!
Happy holidays!
I've seen this trick on a couple of websites with pipe cleaners and a colander, so when Lila got a little bored with it, (and I needed to cook), I gave her the basket from the potato ricer and some toothpicks. Voila'! Instant engagement. She stayed busy for at least 40 minutes. For real!
Mind you, this should be closely monitored for obvious, pointy reasons, but she was so fascinated by trying to get the toothpicks in the little holes that she forgot to try to do something dangerous with them.
Happy cooking!
Oh my goodness! As of 7/22/14, you are one whole year old! You are officially NOT an infant anymore. *Sigh* You are actually 14 months old by now, but we are going to pretend that you're still just 12 months…you little pookies keep mommy busy!)
Happy happy birthday to my sweet little smunchie wunchie woo woo. I love you so big. I can't believe just how perfectly you have fit into our family, Lila Jane. Everybody loves you, even your sister. Mostly. But you are easy to love. You're smiley and social and what a sassafrass you are. It's really cute.
We had a fun birthday party for you at home and your family came from all over Texas, just for you. Mommy made a yummy strawberry cake and you had a mini one all to yourself. You weren't so into it at first, but you warmed up and eventually, it even got in your hair!
In this last month you have become an excellent communicator. You know how to tell what you want, and also what you don't. For example, We were lying in bed nursing before I put you to sleep. I was patting your little tushie-woo like I always do, but I must have stopped absent-mindedly. You reached down, grabbed my thumb with your tiny hand, and pulled my hand up and down in a patting motion. "Mommy, come on!"
And if you don't want something, you make that known by swiping at it or shaking your head no vigorously. But you always, always make a scrinchie face when the answer is no.
Since last month, you have learned how to sit yourself up! You have been able to sit independently for a while now, but you just hadn't figured out how to go from lying to sitting all by yourself until now. You were so proud! (And so were we 🙂
You have also become a master of peek-a-boo. The changing table is the preferred place for a round of peek-a-boo. You really know how to cover your sweet little face with your open palms, sometimes you even cover your face so hard that it sounds like you're hitting yourself! Do it like you mean it, Lila Jane!
You love The Itsy Bitsy Spider. You'll put your little fingers together (kind of like the sign for more) and I know you want to hear your jam. You also say the same word every time, sounds like "pa-dah." I think you're trying to say spider.
You have pushed two more teeth through! But your bottom teeth are still only a pair…it kills me when you do your incredible hulk face with those two tiny teeth sticking up! LOVE. (Look at this video, the Hulk appears at 13 seconds. Ha!)
We had a birthday party for you and lots of family came from all over the place just to celebrate little ol' you! Aw!
You just started scooting. If we needed any further proof of your being a monkey, this was it. Who cares about crawling, you get around monkey-style and BOY do you like to explore now. You are happy to scoot around from one place to the next discovering what's hiding in this box or under that toy. It's so cute!
And you also like to pucker your little red lips when you concentrate. I usually take this as a cue to steal a kiss! When you're mad, like when your sister takes something away from you (which is all the time), you hit the ground with both hands and blow a raspberry into the air–so funny! I know you're trying to express frustration but it is really one incredible display of cute.
Speaking of big sis, she has really started to see the value of your company. You two engage each other more and more and seem to really enjoy playing together. She is such a good girl, you will learn from the best. Y'all love to play peek-a-boo with the door in the living room, that elicits tons little fairy giggles–best sound ever! You also love of playing peek-a-boo in daddy's kick drum. *more fairy giggles*
Little Sugar, you have made our little family so much brighter. Sugarpie is even starting to get used to you! You are funny, feisty, and affectionate. You are precious, delicious, and beautiful. I just can't believe my eyes when I look down at you while nursing and see shiny dark hair, long eyelashes and red cheeks. What a gorgeous and perfect little creature you are, inside and out. I am so glad that it was you. I am so glad that it was your sister. I am so glad that it was your Daddy. I am so glad that I get to be a part of your lives.
So this is our last monthly letter, but I write volumes and volumes of love songs in my heart every time that I see your sweet, tiny little face. You are my sunshine, Lila Jane. You and your sister…my sweet sweet sunshines. Happy birthday, baby girl. Looking so forward to seeing what year two will bring 🙂
Love you forever and ever,
xoxo Mommy
P.S. Since you turned a year old, you've started burying your face in my neck and squeezing your little arms around me so hard! It's the most passionate little baby hug I have ever seen and you cannot even imagine how special it is. One day, I hope you're lucky enough to have a little sugar just like you 🙂
Dear Little Sugar,
Well, we have just one more month where you will officially still be a baby…can you believe that?! I can't! I love you so much, little Lila Jane, and you are almost one year old.
You have been a busy little bee with all kinds of cuteness. In the last month you have started to use some signs that mommy taught you. You use the sign for "more" and "all done" and you even made the sign for "eat," but only once. You used to just imitate me, but you've really started to use the signs in the right context. Mommy's not going to go crazy with it though, I just want you to be able to communicate a little.
Speaking of communicating, you are showing us all just how sassy you are. Your
temper personality is REALLY coming out now. You are one cool cucumber, a mellow yellow most of the time, but when you want something or you just don't agree with the situation, you let us know! Your scary face (the one you started making a couple of months back at the piano) is SO funny. It's very Incredible Hulk. This happens mostly when you're eating and you really like something and Mommy is taking too long to get more for you. Anyway, it's just one of the ways that you communicate.
For a little while, you would pucker your lips like you were concentrating…I just couldn't stand how adorable it was! But you've moved on, ah well.
Sugarpie, your big sister, doesn't get to push you around as much anymore either because you sure know how to make an impression when she takes your toy or tickles you when you're not in the mood. Girl's gotta stand up for herself!
You aren't crawling yet, but you'll get there…what's the rush? You seem like you're trying to pull up in your crib, but we haven't gotten past wanting to action. In time!
You got your first hair cut this month too! You have a lot of hair, girfriend, and we cut bangs. I cannot tell you how much of love it!! And I bet you're happy too, not to have all of that hair in your face.
Daddy has his first Father's Day with TWO GIRLS. How lucky is he? When he hugs you and your sister, he has an arm load of love for sure.
The other day, I realized what color your eyes are. Mommy used to live on an island in Southern Italy called Ischia. The water was crystal clear, beautiful, and turquoise. But there was one little corner of the island that Mommy just loved called Cartaromana. There, the water was a little different. It was a deeper, darker green with a little blue, depending on the sun. On a hot summer day, all you could do was jump in and feel the cool green relief of that water. Magical! And your eyes are just that color. How special!!
Little Sugar, I love you and all of your chubby, soft, sweet, and delicious babyness. Please don't grow up too fast. Here's to our last month of being an infant!!
Love you forever and ever,
xoxo Mommy
Dear Little Sugar,
You are 8 months old! Well actually, you are 8 and a half months old. Mommy is very late AND missed your 7 month letter because you two girls keep me BUSY. Not to mention that we moved the day before your 7 month birthday, that was no easy task with two little stinkers! I am sorry.
So what's new since your 6 month letter? Well…we live in Houston now, for starters. Sugarpie transitioned immediately, but you had a harder time. But now, there are so many fun things to do in our house and in our new city! You seem to be enjoying it.
In your seventh month, you started eating real food! It was a slow start, but man you are HUNGRY now. Your first taste was an avocado and a banana, self-fed, just like your sister. You didn't care for the avocado at first, but now you love it. We also started sleep training. It was slow-going, but we're getting there. What else, oh…you said "Daddy!" on February 18 and you say Mamma and Nanna all the time.
Month seven wasn't spectacularly eventful but month eight has been full of good stuff. For example, you started sitting up, and really sitting up confidently on March 17. Also, you got your first tooth followed immediately by your second, they are SO cute!! I am not in a hurry for you to lose that gummy grin, so don't rush those top teeth out, ok?
Clapping is your favorite new thing. The sound of your tiny hands patting together is the cutest thing ever invented. Ever.
So back to eating, you love it. You eat so much sometimes that I cut you off because I don't want you to get a tummy ache! Your favorites are meatballs, yogurt, apples, beans and you ate so much chicken curry that I thought you would burst! You also like broccoli and cheese and pretty much anything that I put in front of you. Really. We're trying work on not getting too constipated, but it still happens sometimes.
You have had 2 ear infections in the last two months. I hope you don't take after Mommy! I had them a lot too, they hurt. Georgia still hasn't had one.
We have a little red piano and I put you in front of it to play. You thought it was so cool that you got all excited! When you get excited about something, you stare straight ahead, open your eyes really wide, and you shake your head like you just can't stand it! It's about midway through this video:
You also have your very own crib now! You really seem to like all the space and you have discovered that you like to sleep on your tummy. When you sleep like that, you wake up with the craziest sleep hair! It's the cutest.
You love to lay back on my lap and let your head hang over my knees, upside down. It's funny.
So I guess I'll be writing your 9 month letter pretty soon! And I just can't believe that your first birthday is right around the corner. I love you so much, sweet little Lila bear. You have stolen my heart! I can't believe how lucky I am that I get to have a glass of fresh-squeezed Lila Jane every morning, and a big warm mug of hugs from your sister. Who could ask for more?
xoxo Mommy
Dear Little Sugar,
I'm late again, but that's only because I would rather kiss your face than type on my computer.
You, my dear, have sparkles inside. You are a living, breathing, snuggling, laughing, talking, fun-loving, life-enjoying little person. You are alive and ready to take on the world.
One way you show your inner sassafrass is by talking. You have added babababa, dadadada, wawawawa, deh deh, wra-er wra-er, and ga ga ga to your expanding vocabulary. Oh, and yayayayaya. You just cannot wait to tell us all about it! Your voice is SO cute that I can hardly take it.
We still hate tummy torture, which is why you aren't using your rolling-around skills to move about, but I think you're gonna be fine. We're getting closer to sitting up, but for now we have to work on your balance and your core strength. Again, I don't know anyone who needed a Bumbo to sit up at their high school graduation.
Your hair is getting longer (and wilder) and cuter every day. It has its own personality and soon will have its own zip code.
You also had your first ear infection and, unfortunately, your first course of antibiotics. Mommy had lots of ear infections when she was little. I know the pain so it amazed me how chipper you were through the whole thing.
Nanna and Paw Paw came to visit and babysat so Mommy and Daddy could go on a date. Nanna said that you got a little sad while I was gone and you kept saying Mama and looking around like you were looking for me. I know you're not supposed to know what you're saying yet, but I have seen you say Dada looking at Daddy and I've heard you say something really close to "hi" when someone says hi to you. Like I said, you have sparkles.
Grandma also came to visit and you just loved falling to sleep with her. She's fun and knows all kinds of cool songs and silliness that makes you smile.
Sugarpie loves to hug you and you LOVE it too. It is such a joy to see you girls interact. I hope you both grow up knowing what a gift it is to have a sister.
I haven't started feeding you solids yet, but I will soon. You've had a little tummy trouble so we'll get you back on track and then introduce you to a whole new world! I let you lick an apple slice and you LOVED it!
But you know what my favorite thing is about you? You are happy, almost always. You smile easily and laugh and squeal and it is adorable. You've even added a cute little pointy tongue to your smiles. Lila Jane, you seem to be tapped into a well of sweetness and light and I want to hog every bit of it every day. I have resigned to sharing, but you have enough to go around and then some.
From your wild brunette mop top and sweet little eyelashes to your chubby thighs and tiny feet, I love every single piece of you. You are the cherry on top of our family and I cannot imagine how I ended up with two such incredible girls. I am forever grateful for you and your sister.
xoxo Mommy

We have worked with them on multiple occasions and each time was an absolute pleasure. For our last purchase we had something very unique and specific in mind and they were able to find us the perfect home and negotiate the purchase before the house even went on the market! Their knowledge, expertise, and great working relationships with other realtors is truly impressive. But what makes them really stand out is their unwavering commitment to their clients. You will not find a team that will work as tirelessly as they do to make their clients happy.

On a bright, warm day in June, Bear and Lion went to Regent's Street in London. They'd come from Soho to Piccadilly and now they wanted to head north to Regent's Park. Lion wanted to know if Regent's Street was in Regent's Park or if Regent's Park was in Regent's Street. "Is the street really big or the the park really small?" Lion wondered.
They checked on the map where they were and off they went. "There are lots of buses," Bear said, "we can hop on one of those. Girl Friend will pay."
Regent's Street is a busy road but today there were lots of buses parked on it and people walking in the road. "This one goes to Hampstead Heath," Bear noticed, "that's in the right direction." Bear and Lion waited in line to get on.
They were given sticker "fares" before they could board the bus.
They took a seat upstairs and waited.
The girls behind them told Bear and Lion that the buses weren't in service. They were on display to show the different styles that had been carrying Londoners through the years. "It's the Year of the Bus," they smiled.
Or the Year of the Bu if you prefer…
Bear and Lion hopped off to see all the different buses. There were red ones…
… And green ones.
There were some little ones…
… And some really little ones.
There were some buses with funny fronts…
… And some had funny windows like this one.
Some didn't look like buses at all…
One bus even had a horse!
Bear and Lion had a grand time that day.
In one of the buses was the Voice of the Buses, Emma Hignett. We think she was happy to see Bear and Lion.
She even did a recording for them. Have a listen.

Is social media marketing working for you?
When properly done, social media marketing could be the best marketing systems ever. I've been marketing my niche blogs using this medium and the success is visible. It's actually not an overnight success-spinner, but with consistency and focus, you would excel.
Social media marketing stems from the belief that everything in life begins with relationships. Come to think of it, in the real world, we meet people every day. We exchange business cards and take part in events that bring total strangers our way.
Human beings are fashioned to fit into the club. We'll have this hunger to communicate. It's unfortunate that so many people have loosed focus and gazing upon monetary gains.
Here are five strategic ways to begin your social media marketing journey.
1. Write your goals down
Maybe you don't even have a business goal in white and black, my question is, "how do you achieve your goals when you are not clear about them?" Starting a business takes a strong goal to become a reality.
If you don't have it written down, focus is sabotaged and moving ahead in every other aspect of your business is infected. Just like every worthwhile career in life, you need to be realistic, measure your directives and see if you're ready to take the right steps.
Get a notebook and a pen close-by. It's the starting phase in life's journey.
2. Be Knowledgeable
The difference between a winner and a loser is what they know.
What you know in life is your edge and what you're ignorant of becomes your master. There are several arms that should be on deck if social media is to work for you.
What you need more than anything is knowledge. Once you know what you're doing, what next steps to take and why you're taking those steps, you'll succeed and trounce the competition.
Start reading books that would enlighten your mind add to your knowledgebase and make you an expert – that's all you need to do and the rest activities would fall in effortlessly.
3. Ask Plenty Of Intelligent Questions
The right questions often yield the right answers. If you know how to ask plenty of intelligent questions, you would profit from social media. Have you ever asked why some blogs are doing well in search engines, even when they are pretty new?
This kind of question makes you crack your brain and search for information to fill that gap.
You should know why people use social media networks in the first place; this would give you the right mindset to approach them with boldness. If you know any social media examiner, an expert in your niche, why not ask him/her some thought-provoking questions? I'm sure you would learn a lot about this powerful marketing system.
4. Focus On Your Strengths
Where does your strength lie?
As a blogger, I discovered that my strengths lie in designs, creating new concepts and writing. Nothing gives me great joy than putting pen into paper or writing interesting contents for syndication across the web. I'm not a techie-coding-person, I prefer to design or write.
If you haven't discovered your strength, look at your life today and determine what gives you great joy. This kind of joy is usually extreme but it doesn't blow out as such. But inside, you know you're called to make a difference in that angle.
Social media marketing capitalizes on strengths. Don't try to be who you're not – it's a sure bet for failure.
5. Outsource Your Weakness
You're a bundle of strengths and weaknesses.
Above, I admonished you to focus on what you can do. On the internet, time is the only precious thing that's scarce. You need to use it creatively and wisely.
For things you can't do as a business entrepreneur, you should outsource them. Whenever I need new wordpress theme for a new blog, I usually outsource to experts who enjoys doing it while I concentrate on writing quality contents and impacting the world with words.
For several of my blogs including the coupon blog that features sittercity coupons and 6pm discount codes, outsourcing has been my #1 success-secret all these while. It can help you too. Discover things you cannot do and hire an expert to help you out.
Marketing Takeaway
Surviving in these social media career takes extra guts. Start looking for problems to solve. There are several problems that need immediate solution. E.g. tonsillitis contagious health issues. The focus is on improving your web presence via social media platforms.
The clearer the vision you see for your business, the faster you meet your cherished goals.
It doesn't get so blissful than for you to take the right steps today. Remember, a single action towards the right direction can transform your business notwithstanding the model you choose. See you ahead!

The BFB's Nest is an island exclusive to Don't Starve: Hamlet DLC. This island consists on a biome by itself, with its own plants and structures.
The player access it after being caught and transported to it by the BFB. The journey will make the character lose a bit of sanity, just like a Wormhole would do.
Scattered all around on the island can be found rocks, flint, and twigs, along with Weathered shrubs, trees, and branches. This island is where the Regal Scepter is located. There is also a single Sinkhole somewhere on the island, which is in fact the exit of the Island.
Mining the sinkhole creates a passage to the caves. This cave system is similar to the Ancient Pig Ruins and Mant Hill, consisting of a series of connected rooms. These rooms can have Mushtrees, Light Flowers, Ferns, Unimportant Pillars, and Stalagmites in them. In one of the rooms there will be a Stone Plug in the middle of the back wall. Mining this rock will trigger a single Earthquake shake and create a passage out of the caves. This passage will lead to one Cave Cleft on any of the other 3 islands, regardless of whether or not it had been explored. The passage can then be entered from the Cave Cleft to take the player back to the BFB's Island again.
The Nest
The heart of the Nest consists of 4 Petrified Eggs plus a Stone Egg (which will hatch into a Ro Bin), surrounded by one Weathered House, one Rusty Lamp, one Weathered Trunk, some Weathered Trees, branches, sticks and srhubs. The petrified eggs can be mined for 3 items, which will be either rocks, or red, blue, or Purple Gems.
- Don't worry if you miss a pickaxe. Every resource needed to make one is available on the island, likely to make sure that players are not trapped on it because they cannot mine the sinkhole.
- (maybe not a bug) It is possible to find 2 Regal Scepters simultaneously, on the same island.

Sell! Sell! Salutes... Should've gone to Specsavers
'Should have gone to Specsavers' is something increasingly rare in the advertising business - an advertising idea that is allowed to build over time. Is it a strategy? Is it a creative idea? No, it's just a good advertising idea that is locked into the product and brand. Three years ago I don't think any particular high-street optician had an advantage over another, but thanks to the client (and the agency) having faith in this idea, Specsavers is becoming "the one you've heard of". The thing about building a campaign like this is that it's not about individual executions, it's about sticking with it over time. Often, the initial executions aren't 'knock-out' but do a good job setting up the idea for those who come later to bring it to life in different ways. It's not about making little pieces for the annual beauty parade of executions that are the creative awards - it's about building something valuable over time. So for that, for sticking with it, Specsavers - we salute thee!

Back from a great ski-trip to the worlds largest ski area; Les Trois Val ées (France), it did little photography but did manage to shoot a reasonable amount of GoPro video footage while skiing.
An interesting action packed 1 min movie trailer can be found here.
One of the three valleys (Trois Vallées) in the 600km ski-area holds an airport, a very special one! The 525m runway at Courchevel Altiport sits on the side of a mountain and has an 18.5% slope. Because of the sloping terrain and its elevation of over 6500 feet, it is a one way in, one way out runway. Obviously landing upslope and taking-off downhill!
Just like all "Altiports" (mountain airports in France), special training is needed before being allowed to operate at Courchevel. Something that is on my flying bucket-list !
The image below was taken with my iPhone 4S, using the built in panorama function. It was physically made from the ski-slope just next to the runway. One can actually see my skis on the left!

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize it, but Akira Rabelais has quietly been one of the most unique and intriguing figures in experimental music for the last couple of decades, blurring the lines between collage, modern composition, ambient music, and conceptual art with each release. This latest album has apparently been a labor of love for years, drawing contributions from an eclectic array of collaborators including Harold Budd, Ben Frost, Kassel Jaeger, Stephan Mathieu, Geir Jenssen, and a pair of French photographers. Admittedly, a bevy of talented participants is not always an infallible recipe for a great album, but it was this time, as CXVI resembles a temporally dislocated and hallucinatory mélange of This Mortal Coil, Erik Satie, and a 19th century Parisian opium den.
The theme of Rabelais's intended magnum opus is unquestionably a Romantic one, as both the album title and the names of the individual songs allude to Shakespeare's 116 sonnet. Clarifying that further, the album's accompanying text is a lengthy etymology of the word "love." That subject has historically been quite fertile ground for inspiration and the four lengthy movements of CXVI appropriately have the scope and feel of a sprawling, immersive epic. The vaporous structure of the album makes it a very elusive and deliciously ungraspable piece of art though. That is especially true of the opening "which alters when it alteration finds," which opens with a gentle, submerged piano motif in a sea of roiling hiss and wobbly distorted tones. Eventually, however, all of the noise abruptly gives way to reveal a simple and tenderly melancholy piano interlude from Budd. As it progresses, however, the spaces between the notes increases and the focus shifts to their lingering, ghostly afterimages. That evanescent and subtly phantasmagoric approach to composition is the one clear thread that runs throughout the entire album, as each piece is roughly twenty minutes long and is defined by a single strong motif that pierces through the languorous haze of spectral abstraction. Those oft-lovely windows of clarity are bridged together by surreal passages of near-silence, murkily faint strings, and frayed, rumbling drones, however, which dissolves any real sense of these songs beginning or ending. Instead, CXVI unfolds like a fever dream that occasionally coheres into passages of vivid, gorgeous lucidity.
As much as I enjoy Harold Budd, the most memorable and striking moments on the album tend to be those involving Rabelais' revolving cast of unusual vocalists. The album's centerpiece is arguably "star to every wandring worth's unknown," in which Mélanie Skriabine sensuously reads Max Ernst's "La Femme 100 têtes" in French over a barely-there haze of shimmering, undulating tones from Rabelais and Kassel Jaeger. Unlike the other pieces on the album, it holds together in a relatively coherent and recognizable structure from start to finish, simply because Skriabine's voice never goes away. Despite that, however, it is probably the most reality-dissolving passage of otherworldly beauty on the album, blurring together floating dissonance, seductive ASMR, and snatches of piano and violin melodies that feel like they are wafting in from fin de siècle Vienna. The following "within bending sickle's compass come," on the other hand, initially resembles a swooningly Romantic and pitch-perfect reincarnation of classic This Mortal Coil (courtesy of Heligoland's Karen Vogt), but that mirage quickly dissipates into an eerily glimmering and ghostly vapor trail of processed guitar. Notably, the piece was originally composed for one of Cedrick Eymenier's video works, but it feels quite at home here and adds beautifully to album's half-haunted/half-delirious mood. Following a palette-cleansing crescendo of churning, blown-out synth noise, the closing "if error and upon me proved" returns to ASMR territory with a whispered, confessional-sounding monologue from Bogdan Smith. It admittedly creeps dangerously close to sounding exactly like Felicia Atkinson's recent work, but it is quite an effective and intimate channeling of that aesthetic nonetheless.
The album ends on quite a sublime, enigmatic, and rapturously beautiful note, however, as "an ancient, arcane air inscribed to 78rpm vinyl by Stephan Mathieu" gradually replaces Smith's voice for a final coda that sounds like a duet between a lovelorn angel and an antique music box. It is a perfect conclusion to a near-perfect album, as my only critique is that Rabelais has an occasional weakness for openly derivative stylistic touches (not unlike David Lynch's attempt to replicate "Song to the Siren" via Julee Cruise, actually). I genuinely do not mind that particular proclivity in Rabelais' case, however, as he occupies a curious kind of gray area as an artist. In fact, he is kind of analogous to Andy Warhol in a weird way: Warhol's actual skill as a painter was fairly irrelevant, as his true "art" was his overarching vision and his genius for recontextualizing the recognizable. Similarly, Rabelais' talents as a composer are beside the point as well, as his own genius lies in painstakingly threading together all of his various, wide-ranging fascinations (ASMR, Ernst, photography, language, Shakespeare, French accents, the crackle of vinyl, etc.) into bold and coherent new work filled with beauty, mystery, and wonder. Aside from perhaps Spellewauerynsherde, Rabelais has never done that better than he has with CXVI.

cleopatra is definitely one of my all time favorite ejuices, and the service was awesome. i got my package really quickly and I know I'll definitely come back and buy from here again
Posted by Daf on 3rd Apr 2015
Finally, money well spent!! Everytime I try a new eliquid I get let down by the same old flavor as every other with a similar profile. I read a review on this one somewhere n man that girl was spot on. It's like a peachy strawberry champagne flavor that leaves u smacking ur chops after every exhale. I got it in a lower nicotine mg as suggested and it works just fine because I do chain vape this stuff! Thix Very unique and delicious flavor saved me from overdosing on my Sucker Punch from Suicide Bunny and now has me interested in other liquids from Lazarus.

All reviews reflect my personal opinion and experience*
If your little ones are anything like my daughter they are probably often begging you for a pet, now you can get them a pet bird with no need to take care of it. Little Live Pets birds are adorable little toys that can interact with your children providing them with hours of entertainment! They also make butterflies and a house for the butterfly! Keep reading to find out more about Little Live Pets and the bird that we received named Friendly Frankie!
Little Live Pets birds chirp, tweet, and sing. When the bird is happy it will sing a tune and when it is touched it will chirp and tweet like a real bird! Children are also able to press a button on the bird's chest to record their own voice and the bird will repeat the recording just like a parrot! In the Little Live Pets cage that we received there is a little piece of food that the bird can hold in its mouth. There is also a swing inside the cage that the bird is able to perch on.
Mia is absolutely obsessed with Friendly Frankie! She carries this little birdie with us everywhere. I think that her favorite part about Little Live Pets birds is that she is able to record her voice and that the bird plays it back to her in a parrot's voice. She loves having us all record things and hearing Friendly Frankie play it back. Every night at bed time Mia puts her bird in it's cage in it's swing and closes the door. She has the cage sitting right on her bookshelf so that she can play with it again right away in the morning. I would absolutely recommend Little Live Pets for little ones. They are fun, super cute, and interactive.
Little Live Pets are a perfect gift for the children on your holiday shopping list this season! These little birds and the butterflies will provide hours of fun for children and adults! You can find them at stores like Toys R Us, Target, Walmart, and more!

Everybody who's written or blogged about climate change on a prominent website (or, even worse, spoken about it on YouTube) knows the drill. Shortly after you post, the menagerie of trolls arrives. They're predominantly climate deniers, and they start in immediately arguing over the content and attacking the science—sometimes by slinging insults and even occasional obscenities. To cite a recent example:
What part of "we haven't warmed any in 16 years" don't you understand? Heh. "Cherry-picking" as defined by you alarmists: any time period selected containing data that refutes your hysterical hypothesis. Can be any length of time from 4 billion years to one hour. Fuck off, little man!It was reasonably obvious already that these folks were doing nothing good for the public's understanding of the science of climate change (to say nothing of their own comprehension). But now there's actual evidence to back this idea up.
In a recent study, a team of researchers from the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication and several other institutions employed a survey of 1,183 Americans to get at the negative consequences of vituperative online comments for the public understanding of science. Participants were asked to read a blog post containing a balanced discussion of the risks and benefits of nanotechnology (which is already all around us and supports a $91 billion US industry). The text of the post was the same for all participants, but the tone of the comments varied. Sometimes, they were "civil"—e.g., no name calling or flaming. But sometimes they were more like this: "If you don't see the benefits of using nanotechnology in these products, you're an idiot."
The researchers were trying to find out what effect exposure to such rudeness had on public perceptions of nanotech risks. They found that it wasn't a good one. Rather, it polarized the audience: Those who already thought nanorisks were low tended to become more sure of themselves when exposed to name-calling, while those who thought nanorisks are high were more likely to move in their own favored direction. In other words, it appeared that pushing people's emotional buttons, through derogatory comments, made them double down on their preexisting beliefs.

Are Kevin Hart & Eniko Parrish Expecting A Baby?
Eniko Parrish has to clear up rumors that she and Kevin Hart are expecting a baby. After joking that the comedian might get jealous when they adopt a dog, one of her friends stated, "Or have a baby…teeheehee."
Usually people would ignore a random message like this in the comment section, but Eniko highlighted it by making the comment its own post, The Shade Room reports. Of course, that caused her followers to assume that she and Kevin might have a baby on the way and gossip Websites ran with the story.
Eniko swiftly removed the picture from her Instagram page, only to inform her followers on Twitter that she and Kevin are trying to have a baby. Trying would be the key word here.

This article is from Science News Jan. 21, 2014 "Constructed Wetlands Save Frogs, Birds Threatened With Extinction"
Over the last few decades, several thousands of wetlands have been constructed in Sweden in agricultural landscapes. The primary reason is that the wetlands prevent a surfeit of nutrients from reaching our oceans and lakes. A study from Halmstad University shows, in addition, that wetlands have contributed to saving several frog and bird species from the "Red List" – a list that shows which species are at risk of dying out in Sweden. In the latest update, five of the nine red-listed bird species that breed in wetlands –
including the little grebe and the little ringed plover could be taken off the list. Yet another bird species was moved to a lower threat category. As regards batrachians, four species-among them the European tree frog-have been taken off the list, and two species have been moved to a lower threat category.
Great effect on biological diversity
Definition of eutrophication: the process by which a body of water becomes enriched in dissolved nutrients (as phosphates) that stimulate the growth of aquatic plant life usually resulting in the depletion of dissolved oxygen.
"An important objective in constructing wetlands is reducing eutrophication – over-fertilization. It's surprisingly positive that they've also had such a great direct effect on biological diversity," says Stefan Weisner, Professor of Biology specialising in environmental science at Halmstad University.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, the amount of wetlands in Sweden decreased drastically: almost all original wetlands in agricultural areas have disappeared through drainage and land reclamation. This has affected many of the plants and animals that depend on these types of environments.
An inexpensive way to reduce eutrophication
Over the last 15 years, nearly 3,000 wetland areas have been constructed in agricultural landscapes around Sweden. Farmers have the possibility of receiving economic support for this from sources such as the Swedish Board of Agriculture. The primary reason is because wetlands catch the surfeit of nutrients from agriculture such as nitrogen and phosphorus-substances that would otherwise have leaked out into the seas and lakes and contributed to eutrophication.
The study shows that creation of wetlands is a cost-effective to catch the nutrients.
"It's a very effective way of purifying the water.
It's less expensive than constructing treatment plants, and in addition it contributes to biological diversity," Prof Weisner says.

Germany is accelerating a program to bring its gold back to the country, after decades of storing the majority of its reserves overseas.
According to a statement, in the past year, the Bundesbank, Germany's central bank, has moved 210 tonnes of gold into its vaults in Frankfurt, bringing 110 tonnes back from Paris, and just short of 100 tonnes from the Federal Reserve building in New York.
That now means that more of the country's gold is stored in Germany than anywhere else, and is part of a wider plan to have more than half of the gold owned by the Bundesbank in storage in Germany by 2020.
With approximately 1,403 tonnes of gold, Frankfurt has been our largest storage location, ahead of New York, since the end of last year,said Bundebank board member Carl-Ludwig Thiele.
Since the eurozone sovereign debt crisis of 2012, the Bundesbank has made efforts to be more transparent about its operations, especially its gold reserves, after accusations that it was lying about the amount of gold it holds.
"The transfers are proceeding smoothly. We have succeeded in once again significantly increasing the transport volume compared with 2014. This means that operations are running very much according to schedule," Thiele added.
Much of the world's gold is held beneath the Federal Reserve building in New York, which is thought to be one of the most secure places on earth.
Gold is an increasingly attractive asset to hold right now, thanks to the crazy volatility seen in the markets so far in 2016. Gold's status as a safe haven is widely recognised, and in times of trouble, investors tend to flock to gold, sending it's price soaring.
This year, the price of gold has risen by more than 5%, while virtually all other asset classes have tanked.

Emma, chapters 1-3
4 comments:
So happy to see you back and tackling Emma. I already can't wait to read your description of Mrs. Elton. (Because in this instance, Mr. Knightley was wrong--Mr. E truly cannot be trusted to pick his own bride, but clearly I'm getting ahead!)ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you're still doing this - I thought you'd given up since it'd been so long without an update. It's a shame I hadn't discovered your blog yet when you were doing Mansfield Park, my favorite Austen book (and also your best reviews, whatever vou may feel about the source material), but I'll settle for Emma and Northanger Abbey. Looking forward to the next installment :)ReplyDelete
You're back! All right! And you're doing EMMA!ReplyDelete

Hahahah... I would also love to have your comments on the dedication of Emma that Austen was more or less press-ganged into making to the Prince Regent, who she despised.ReplyDelete

Hallo, Hallo dear hearts!
I had a delightful time reading the Lady Guide's series of Cosy Mysteries recently to where I was overjoyed I would be able to bring an interview with the author to my readers. What I hadn't foreseen of course was feeling under the weather for a week & having that week end on a tornado scare on a major highway – as journalled on my Twitter feeds almost immediately after I returnt home. To say I had delayed shock and was quite ill overnight would be putting it mildly – I will never forget that experience with my parents and I was never more grateful to be *home* with my cats as those are the moments where your tested in life if you can handle the crises and emergencies you never see coming. At the same time, it wasn't just owr own well being I was thankful for – it was the entire *gridlocked traffic botttlenecked* on that highway…
Thereby, I apologise to my readers and to the lovely Ms Bruno & Ms Freeman for the delays in being able to bring this conversation to Jorie Loves A Story. I simply haven't been myself lately and with this experience last night, I've spent the last twelve to eighteen hours trying to re-settle my nerves whilst living through prayer. It was definitely one of those defining moments where you lean hard on your faith.
Now – the joyful news is how lovely Ms Freeman was in giving me such a hearty conversation about her writing process & how she's crafted these Cosy Historical Mysteries! I hope if you haven't yet had the pleasure of reading the stories, this conversation might nudge your interest towards seeking them out – they are such a treat for the Cosy reader who is seeking something a bit more unique & different in their Historical Cosies.
Be sure to brew yourself a cuppa & settle in for some fun!
What I personally *loved!* about reading this series:
Part of the joy of reading this series are the layers of etiquette permeating into the fabric of the story-line – fitting for this debut of the series itself as it lends a certain view of the absurdity of tradition these lords and ladies were put through when their era was in its heyday! All the confining points of societal regulations and the fact, you couldn't just remove yourself from the obligations as that would be lent to scandal and gossip; Freeman takes you through the motions of how frivolous the ton can be and how determined you must become to outwit them all the same! Frances shows this by her unwavering belief that if you lead with strength and a resolve to overcome whatever befalls you, society will either a) move on to the next lead story or b) forget you completely; which I felt was her preference. Frances wasn't the kind who welcomed notoriety – quite the opposite, I believed she wanted to live a more ordinary life without all the pops and poms of the elevated class.
I was endeared to the plot long before I caught-on to the mysterious events happening in the background – for me, this series is wickedly driven by its characters – specifically everyone related into the personal orbit and sphere of Frances! You can't help but feel caught inside her life – seeing how even the most ordinary of lives can suddenly become a feast of trouble yet with a sturdy circle of friends and family; any obstacle can surely become defeated! I must admit, by the time I unearthed the actual crime and the person behind it – I was quite somber! I hadn't expected the villain in the story to be whom they were as I was expecting it be someone else completely! The way in which Freeman related those finer details of the whys and hows lead me to believe the rest of this series is going to be as charmingly cosy to read as its debut!

A Lady's Guide to Gossip and Murder (Author Interview)
Subtitle: A Countess of Harleigh Mystery
by Dianne Freeman
Source: Publisher via Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours
How far will some go to safeguard a secret? In the latest novel in Dianne Freeman's witty and delightful historical mystery series, the adventurous Countess Harleigh finds out…
Though American by birth, Frances Wynn, the now-widowed Countess of Harleigh, has adapted admirably to the quirks and traditions of the British aristocracy. On August twelfth each year, otherwise known as the Glorious Twelfth, most members of the upper class retire to their country estates for grouse-shooting season. Frances has little interest in hunting—for birds or a second husband—and is expecting to spend a quiet few months in London with her almost-engaged sister, Lily, until the throng returns.
Instead, she's immersed in a shocking mystery when a friend, Mary Archer, is found murdered. Frances had hoped Mary might make a suitable bride for her cousin, Charles, but their courtship recently fizzled out. Unfortunately, this puts Charles in the spotlight—along with dozens of others. It seems Mary had countless notes hidden in her home, detailing the private indiscretions of society's elite. Frances can hardly believe that the genteel and genial Mary was a blackmailer, yet why else would she horde such juicy tidbits?
Aided by her gallant friend and neighbor, George Hazelton, Frances begins assisting the police in this highly sensitive case, learning more about her peers than she ever wished to know. Too many suspects may be worse than none at all—but even more worrying is that the number of victims is increasing too. And unless Frances takes care, she'll soon find herself among them…

Work beginning on Sprague corridor
Sun., April 5, 2009
As road construction gets going for the 2009 season, officials in Spokane Valley want motorists to know that one of the largest street projects in the area is occurring along the heart of commercial Sprague Avenue.
Plans call for rebuilding two intersections with concrete pavement at McDonald and Evergreen roads, and enlarging the existing concrete pavement at Pines Road.
In addition, the pavement on Sprague from University Road to Evergreen will be ground down and repaved with a new asphalt overlay.
Repaving on Sprague is scheduled to follow behind the three intersection jobs. The two-mile repaving project is being financed with $2.9 million in federal economic stimulus money approved by Congress earlier this year. That project goes out to bid in mid-April.
Some delays and backups are expected as the work continues into September, but engineers said they are working to minimize the impact on businesses along the route.
"The coordination is going to be critical," said Steve Worley, senior engineer for Spokane Valley.
Work is scheduled to begin in mid-May on improvements at the intersection of Sprague and Pines. The approaches on Pines and the intersection itself were improved with concrete previously, but now the city is going back to improve the pavement on Sprague on the east and west sides of the intersection.
During the work, lanes on Sprague will be reduced and traffic shifted to the left or right to accommodate the reconstruction and maintain traffic through the intersection, engineers said.
Once that work is completed, the city wants to move to the east and install concrete intersections at McDonald and then Evergreen. Work at McDonald should start in early July and at Evergreen in early August.
Both of those intersections will be repaired one half at a time, starting on the south sides and moving to the north sides. That will require partial closures of the intersections and limit on turns from McDonald and Evergreen during the work. Detours will be established for the closed portions.
As concrete pavement is poured, another contractor will strip Sprague of its existing, deteriorated pavement and replace it with a new asphalt overlay. The asphalt work will be done in three segments starting with the stretch from University to Pines, followed by Pines to McDonald and then McDonald to Evergreen.
The grind and overlay work will be done at night to reduce delays.
The overlay is intended to extend the life of underlying road structure on Sprague, engineers said.
Funding for the concrete projects is coming from Spokane Transit Authority, which is paying about 80 percent of the $2.74 million estimated cost to offset the cost of damage done by buses at the intersections. The city is paying the other portion.
In addition, some utility work is expected along Sprague in preparation for the repaving.
Asphalt pavement at the Sprague intersections currently has deepening ruts, or deformations, caused largely by the weight of vehicles and their starting and stopping motions during summer weather. The damage is different than the grinding that occurs from studded tires, Worley explained. Concrete pavement is more durable to weight load and heat.
Work begins today on North Side
Work is scheduled to begin today on a major road renovation in northwest Spokane. Spokane Rock Products Inc. has a $3.8 million contract to rebuild Alberta and Cochran streets north of Northwest Boulevard.
The project under the city's 10-year street bond program involves excavation and curb-to-curb rebuilding of Alberta from Northwest Boulevard to Francis Avenue and Cochran from Northwest Boulevard to the crossover intersection at Driscoll Boulevard and Alberta.
Intersections at Northwest Boulevard and Garland, Rowan and Wellesley avenues will remain open to east-west traffic with designated detours for Alberta and Cochran on Northwest Boulevard for northbound traffic and Ash Street for southbound traffic.
Restriction lifted on Hwy. 21
An emergency speed restriction on state Highway 21 from the Curlew State Park entrance to Kettle River Road has been lifted. Traffic may now travel at 55 mph.

Visit The Pub Curmudgeon site
highly critical of Robinson's refurbishment of the Farmer's Arms in Poynton, with its fibreglass cow and bucket urinals. In response to this, John Clarke said in the comments:
Well, who's to say what's "appropriate" for pubs these days? If you have a certain fixed idea of what a "proper pub" should be like then maybe. However "the pub" as a concept is evolving into a variety of incarnations and what is appropriate for one won't be for another. I don't think these days you can apply a blanket "one size fits all" rule of thumb.Of course pubs have always been designed in many different ways, but there are some design elements that stand the test of time, and some that rapidly go out of fashion and end up being changed into something else. A key point is that the primary purpose of a pub is for people to meet and socialise with each other (as opposed to just eating meals) and therefore the seating plan should promote that. It needs to be arranged so that most seats are looking in to the centre of each room or area, and the seating should preferably be mainly either fixed benches or settles as opposed to individual chairs. If you want to run a restaurant, fine, but it's not exactly "pubby".
If you look at the seven National Inventory entries for Stockport – the Alexandra, Arden Arms, Armoury, Blossoms, Crown, Queen's Head and Swan with Two Necks, plus the nearby Nursery and Griffin, every single one is characterised by extensive fixed seating. These are pubs where the design scheme has lasted for at least 75 years. Indeed, you would struggle to find many National Inventory pubs that don't have either fixed seating or settles. I can think of a few recent refurbs where eliminating comfortable seating seems to be a high priority, and I wonder how long they will last.
The second point is that colour schemes should be predominantly "warm", to give a cosy and welcoming impression. This is well summed up by this extract from The Traditional English Pub by Ben Davies. The point that pub colours should reflect the colours of drinks is very well made.
I recently mentioned a Robinson's refurbishment saying it used "a palette of light, neutral colours", which basically is completely wrong. Pubs should use a palette of rich, warm colours.
Over the years, people have come up with all kinds of gimmicky pub designs, seating plans and colour schemes. They always think that the tried and trusted is old hat and they know better. But, by and large, they've all rapidly dated and been replaced before too long by the latest fad. If you want your refurbishment to last, you need to look at what has lasted before.

Read on how to enrich your life by purpose, i.e. to find depth and, a reason to get out of bed each morning, your own Ikigai.
Do we relish food today or are we forced to have a rather uneasy relationship with food, thanks to modern eating habits?
Deepika Padukone tells us that surviving on a particular brand of cornflakes can make us as slim and shapely as the gorgeous actress; Anushka Sharma informs us that sipping green tea makes her light and active…the list goes on.
Earlier my food guilt was restricted to parties or festivals when my sweet tooth got the better of me and I gave in to the temptation of a second (or third) helping. Now however, I need to feel guilty about my humble lunch of dal-chawal- sabji and even my evening cup of tea. I mean, after all who wouldn't want to look as svelte as Ms. Padukone or as vibrant as Ms. Sharma, right?
No I am not here to bash up these amazing actors. Nevertheless, such advertisements do make one pause and wonder about the body image messages that popular media and society convey, which have impacted the Indian women's relationship with food. If that small bowl of halwa sets you off into such a tizzy of calorie counting that you forget to even savour the dish, then something just isn't right.
Every second person I know seems to be on one diet or the other – GM, Paleo, Raw Foods and what not! For instance, Anu Sivashankar, a 32 year old home-schooling mom shares, "My son was a clingy child and I had no help. So I resorted to unhealthy meals and ate out most of the time. The end results were a lot of health issues and terrible weight gain. Then I tried to lose weight and went on a crash diet and it was a cycle. I would go on a diet and then after I lost weight I would go back to unhealthy habits." Extreme cases of food guilt even leads to eating disorders such as anorexia.
At get-togethers, gone are the days when one oohed and aahed about the creaminess of the butter sauce. Now discussions center on glycaemic indexes, which foods improve good cholesterol while lowering bad cholesterol, and conversations are all about our modern eating habits.
Asha Thiagarajan* is a 32 year old mother of one who is pursuing her Masters in the US. As someone who has always been on the heavier side thanks to her genes, she says, "At conferences they provide such lovely 4 course meals at star hotels but no one even touches their plates and it becomes a compulsion that you too should not touch the food. It is meant for eating, but you should act as though food is least important to you."
Interestingly, she also adds, "If the woman in the family is a meat eater and the male is a vegetarian, as is the case at our home, many waiters tend to glare at me especially if it is some auspicious day."
A busy and stressful lifestyle also adds to the problem. Nithya Jeypal, a 30 year old Software Engineer based out of Chennai is currently on a Paleo diet. She confides, "Even during a diet, even when I was not hungry, I would sometimes sit with my son's ice-cream and eat it fully. The only reason to eat is stress. It was pure addiction. Many times my brain would say walk away, walk away… but I would be like let's eat and see. I usually don't feel bad immediately but when I see someone who has lost some weight I feel horribly envious."
Then there are those on the other end of the spectrum like me; people who never seem to gain any weight at all. While many of you might feel jealous of this quirk, trust me questions and comments about being 'thin', 'weak' and 'sickly' are just as rude and inappropriate as comments about being fat. I have a lifetime of goading behind me to put on weight and hence what do you think happens? I care two hoots about my health and end up eating a lot of junk because, hey everyone wants me to gain weight anyway! Who cares about cholesterol or diabetes? Thin people don't get heart attacks – or do they?
Of course, all of us need to respect our bodies and eat healthy for the most part; some of us do need to take extra care and monitor what we eat.
Anu has been on her guard ever since a diagnosis of Thyroiditis. She shares, "Every time I eat a piece of cake or pizza I think twice. I have learnt to eat in portions. I started eating healthy and started compensating for guilty pleasure indulgences. I still eat my pizzas and desserts but I have learnt to balance it well. When I eat pizza for lunch I automatically pick a salad or fruit bowl for dinner. Likewise if I eat dessert one day then I try and avoid sugar the next day. Yes I feel like I have the yin and yang twins inside me!"
No one is denying that self-control is a beautiful virtue. However, sometimes I see people mentally torturing themselves over an extra scoop of ice cream. Every extra laddu that we ingest is later followed by negative self-talk. Stabbing someone in the back? That makes you a bad person. Stabbing your fork into a piece of cake? No, that doesn't make you a bad person! Nithya insists that negativity doesn't work and will only serve to discourage you. She states, "My mom is always like why are you like this, you would have eaten something, can't you control yourself? It simply made me indulge more."
Instead of beating yourself up about a slip up how about changing things a bit? Find the silver lining – be thankful for that decadent chocolate pie. It's hard, I know, but try to look at the positive side of the situation. Think about what a lovely time you had with your friends or family whilst eating the pie. Surely, an extra slice of pie is worth all that love and laughter!
Also, instead of putting yourself down, channel your thoughts into what you could perhaps have done differently. Maybe you could have had a small, healthy snack before heading out to the party? Thus ensuring that you were not famished by dinner time and it would have been easier to avoid temptations. Putting some thought into this could help avoid similar scenarios from repeating in the future.
In fact, Nithya has an intelligent way to handle her cravings, "Cheats help; what you have to do is smart talk your brain. Tell it 'Hey let's have some sweet' and make sure you eat the smallest amount. Eat slowly and savour it. Drink lots of water afterwards. Then tell yourself 'Wow you just had a very small piece, that's very commendable.' You don't feel guilty that way and you also get satisfied."
I came across a funny quote the other day: "If you wake up early every day, exercise regularly and drink 8 glasses of water daily, you'll die anyway." Life is short. Keep calm and eat cake!

Anne John plays with words for a living and would probably do the same even
This is a very meaningful post. As thinking individuals who can reach the moon on a good day, we humans can be hopelessly "duh" in figuring out some simple facts of living! It isn't rocket science though to figure out this- exercise is a 'must' to the extent that it assists our daily movement and activities. It cannot become something to flaunt or fantasise about as a goal in itself. Eating food is a 'must' too, to keep our bodies nourished and strong with energy, to efficiently perform our daily functions and have a little spare to tide over an illness!! A little creative variation in both these to kill the monotony of doing the same activities or eating the same foods is alright, so long as they still achieve the purpose of fitness and nutrition. Neither exercise nor food should be seen as status symbols for us to flaunt or pursue with single minded intent to prove we have arrived! Balance is everything in life!!

EE's done another cheap tablet it expects you to trust your clumsy kids not to break.
The second-gen EE Robin is -- like the one that came before it -- a 4G handset that's available for £129.99 OR £17 per month on an EE Essentials 24 month plan, coming with 2GB of data and three months of Hopster (a kids' TV app thing) content for free OR, if your child's a particularly demanding so-and-so, £22 per month on an an EE Max plan, which gets you 20GB of data including EU roaming, and 24 months of free Hopster.
The Robin has the same humdrum 7-inch, 1,024 x 600 LCD display as old, but is significantly more capable than the original, thanks to its new quad-core processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop, though the Kurio OS skin should make it easy to navigate, even if your little one's a Capri-Sun short of a lunchbox. EE's also pre-loaded it with 40 games, educational apps and eBooks, as well as a bunch of parental controls so your little uns can't download hardcore porn without your permission.
Clearly, nobody at EE has watched The Inbetweeners, as the new Robin also comes with a practical but dorky carry handle that doubles up as a kickstand. Oh well, they have to develop a thick skin at some point.
