Getting the hang of this
Hola amigos y familia! Day three of El Camino was very similar to the others yet also very different. Similar in that we are finally getting on a schedule, however, the views, emotions, and people we meet along the way are all different everyday. I swear the views of the Spanish countryside will never get old. I am an international studies and geography double major so the landscape and physical geography are beyond amazing to me. The sharp tops of the distant mountains are very different from the rolling blue ridge mountains I grew up in. The scarlet poppies I find a rarity in Botetourt are found filling fields as far as I can see. Sometimes you find that those you are walking with fade into the background among the breathtaking views of España.
Another important part of the camino is the people you meet. Just today I spent time walking with a Londoner named Ian and two Italian men named Fabio and Salvatore. It is amazing to hear the stories of why they walk el camino and what they have experienced. For many, this path is highly spiritual and key to finding out more about themselves. For ourselves it is also important to key into ourselves and our emotions. While walking today I feel like I overcame the first wall and was able to walk all 17 kilometers with relative ease. (As much ease as that could possibly entail). However, as soon as Kat and I came into the city I experienced an extreme low that was aided by a stomach ache, hunger, and exhaustion. The only cure for these is food and sleep (and possibly a "café con leche"). Overall my experience on el camino has already been one I will remember the rest of my life and I have made friends I have grown to know and love. Someday I encourage you to embark on your own Camino, in Spain or elsewhere. ¡Buen Camino, peregrinos!

Visiting Roman baths (and sewers)
The Museo Romano was an amazing learning experience.
My favorite part of the museum was looking at all the artifacts and searching for answers on the worksheet that was provided for us. After we walked though the museum we went on a tour of Roman bath ruins.
We learned about how the Romans picked a easily defendable place on top of a hilhttps://wordpress.com/post/35808072/new/l and how they built double trenches around the wall to make attacking their fortress even more difficult. The fact that so much of the baths were still intact and that it was possible to visualize where people were bathing hundreds of years ago was pretty cool. Their structural and building prowess is quite impressive that so many of their walls and parts of buildings at still standing today.Overall the museum and tour were a fantastic way to learn about how such a beautiful city was created.

Day 3: Hospital de Orbigo to Astorga
Roman bridge at Hospital de Orbigo
Walk, eat, paint
Today was the first day we actually left from an albergue in the morning. We woke around 7:30 to eat breakfast and make sure our packs were ready for the day. The morning was much colder than I expected, so it was hard to climb out of my warm sleeping bag. Breakfast was simple but yummy…yogurt and fruit. Then we were all ready to hit the road! Today we walked about 15 kilometers for an easy 3 hours. For second breakfast, we stopped at a café/albergue. I had a croissant with ham and cheese…the most delicious thing I have had so far!
Today we stayed in Albergue San Miguel. It is in Hospital de Órbigo. There is a old roman bridge with 13 arches that marks the entrance to the town. I have really enjoyed this albergue. I had the chance to play in a river and paint a rock with a Hokie bird. A family dinner where we collectively cooked and ate was the perfect night cap to the day. Buen Camino!

No way to explain The Way
I knew before I began the Camino that there was a culture all its own. But I never could've understood it before I started on this journey. And even now, on day two, there's no way I can begin to explain this way of life, the life of a pilgrim. Each pilgrim is traveling the same road, but each pilgrim has their very own journey; they're all different. Yet the Way connects us all, for we are all on this road, seeking something to satisfy whatever longing we have in our souls.
And the pilgrims life isn't a bad one after all.
This is Kat Kolton, signing off.

Panentheism: The Other God Of the Philosophers—From Plato to the Present
by John W. Cooper
Baker Academic, 2006
(358 pages, $34.99, hardcover)
reviewed by L. P. Fairfield
"In mainline intellectual circles, panentheism has gained the position held by Deism in the Enlightenment," writes John W. Cooper, professor of philosophical theology at Calvin Seminary, in his lucid survey of the idea's rise to dominant influence in Western thought over the last two centuries.
It is widely regarded as the universal "natural religion" or "rational theology" implicit in the various positive religions. Like English in international affa . . .

I find myself busy these days. But I still do love to give handmade gifts. So I created a simple project - DIY Valentines Treat Box. Making just one or twenty is easy!
I did shop Etsy to find a huge variety of digital papers. I printed them on my HP Printer. I love this printer because most of the items I create are printed directly to the edge of the paper with ease.

The aim of this paper is to present and discuss some of the underlying imperatives when establishing a new knowledge management system within the university library, profiled as a learning support services organization within Mid Sweden University.
The concept of Knowledge management, as seen from a specific library perspective, has been broadly defined as the use of organizational knowledge through sound practices of information management and organizational learning (Broadbent, 1998). The different perspectives or discourses on knowledge management mainly puts its emphasis either on technology (and questions concerning technological aspects of knowledge management) or on social aspects such as the user's reception or understanding of knowledge management systems in different settings. However, as Gold, Malhotra & Segars (2001) has noted, many so-called knowledge management projects are – in reality – information projects. When these projects yield some consolidation of data, but little innovation in products and services, the concept of knowledge management can be cast in doubt (ibid).
During the spring and autumn of 2017 a project called "Infrastrukturen UB" ("Infrastructure University Library") was carried out, implementing what could be considered a knowledge management system within a newly restructured library organization consisting of four different departments, and physical libraries at different campus locations. Drawing from the result of the project and the experiences of the project's team members, it can be shown how this project was influenced by technological and social imperatives within the organization at large during different phases of the project. In addition, it can be argued that further steps of development are needed for the established system to fully be considered a "true" knowledge management system.

I wrote this blog a few years back, but it is as relevant as ever today. I think my theory of a "genetic" link to the travel industry has been proven correct, even if just in my own family!
On this Father's Day I will be remembering the man who introduced me to travel and helped put me on a career path that while difficult has been rewarding and a lot of fun as well. My Dad was kind of an aviation pioneer, of sorts. He began his airline career back in the 1950's before it expanded into the mass transportation system it is today. He wasn't CEO or even an executive, he was guy who worked the ramp at a very small airport in NewarkNJ for that great by-gone airline Eastern Air Lines. As a child I remember riding the tractors with him across the ramp (pre-high level security) and how cool it was to pull up to the airplane and watch the well dressed people climb the stairs to all kinds of exotic destinations. (Miami) I can still remember how proud I was of my Dad and how special I felt to be there with him working on giant airplanes. I used to dream of being one of those people capable of traveling anytime to virtually anywhere in the world without boundaries but I knew how expensive it was and that the only way a kid like me could accomplish that was to get a job like my Dad working for an airline, preferably Eastern Air Lines.
I am happy to say that I was able to do that and much more. Working for many different airlines I always enjoyed being able to follow in my Dad's footsteps in basically working in a business that allowed people the freedom to live their lives by moving from place to place for any number of reasons. The excitement of the business and the constant urgency that seemed to be "ever present" I feel was the perfect lead into our fast paced online travel present day. Although I have left the airline business behind, I still have great respect for the difficulty, responsibility and the pressures they have to keep themselves afloat and provide jobs for the hundreds of thousands of guys (and Girls), who like my Dad, worked so hard so all of us could simply, fly. I salute them all and my Father's Day wish is for the return of better days for the aviation industry so they will be able to continue to do exactly that. Working for an airline isn't easy, but sometimes, it can be really cool! Thanks Dad.

NYC restaurants with a mom in the kitchen
Cooking is nurturing, so it's no surprise mother-child teams thrive in the restaurant business. Not that it's always easy on the principals -- "There's a learning curve," says chef Lidia Bastianich, who freely mixes family and business. With Mother's Day approaching, it makes sense to patronize mom-centric places that produce delicious results.
WHAT Just your normal Korean family restaurant -- a mother, a daughter ... and Quentin Tarantino. The famous filmmaker is an investor in the business, which is run by Jenny Kwak and her chef-mother, Myung Ja. (The Kwaks' previous spot, Dok Suni, was a staple in the East Village for 15 years.) Don't miss the ojingo bibimbop, a rice dish topped with spicy squid. The family puts a big emphasis on wine and cocktails, even offering discounts if diners say a secret password (check the website); it could get you a jalapeño-tequila margarita with muddled cucumber for $6.

WHAT Lidia Bastianich -- famed Italian chef, author, TV star -- is partnered with her children in all of her restaurants to varying degrees. Felidia, which turned 30 last year, has a special place in her heart, since it was her first NYC venue; her daughter, Tanya, is her on-site right-hand woman. Working with your children isn't always easy, Lidia says, "but they really appreciate what I do." The family rapport creates an easy shorthand. "When she's breaking my chops, I tell her," Bastianich says. "And when I'm being a nagging mom, she lets me know." She's partnered with her son, Joe, and superchef Mario Batali in several places, including Del Posto, and jokes that the filial vibe has rubbed off: "Mario is like an adopted child."

She came to the United States when she was 34 and first worked as pasta maker at Tempo restaurant in the '80s -- run, like I Trulli, by her son Nicola.

Thinking through the box
Years ago one of the first photoblogs I began reading regularly was Doug Plummer's Dispatches. In the past few months, Plummer has shifted from photography to videography (for the purpose of this post, I'm going to call all recorded moving images videography, including film), occasionally posting clips on his blog and more often detailing the trials and trevails of learning a new craft as a novice. It's been interesting peeking over his shoulder.
On their face, videography and photography seem similar. You look through a box and record what's out there. Some of the same visual skills are applicable to each craft, which is why there are many people like Doug Plummer who do both, and why the history of photography is littered with people who crossed over into film. Cartier-Bresson gave up photography for film for a few years, as did Strand and Frank. My friends Bobby and Chris have experimented with both. The two arts seem malleable and similar enough to promote a lot of crossover. Certainly pop culture associates them as interchangeables.
Speaking personally, I just don't get it. I am in love with photography and yet I feel nothing for videography. I could never cross over. Creating moving images seems completely boring and dead to me. I'm not sure why this is. Every time I read about someone like Plummer switching gears it brings up the same questions. I ask myself if the two crafts are really so different, and if not, why don't I have any interest in videography?
I think part of it is due to my love for the moment. The photographs I love best are about synchronicity and irreplaceability. They exist for a split second and are gone, and perhaps occasionally they are captured. There is something very essential, zenlike, and poetic in their nature which is NOT in the nature of any video because by nature a video captures more than one moment.
The other hangup I have about videography is that it generally attempts to record reality. Watching video footage, it is generally pretty clear what was happening in front of the camera. This is true for documentary or pure footage of the sort Plummer is pursuing, but even when actors are used or clips are manipulated in post-production, it is generally possible to interpret the reality of the original scene. With photography, this is not always possible or desirable. By nature a photograph contains less information than video footage. By withholding that information a photo can be subtle, mysterious, and confusing in delightful ways. It can tell you nothing about the original scene and for me that's great. I think this is why I have a hard time appreciating photojournalism or other photography that attempts to tell a story. To paraphrase Winogrand (who I can almost guarantee had no interest in videography), it's about the photograph, not about what was photographed.
That may not make sense but it's the best way I know how to explain it. So reading Dispatches lately has held some of the watch-between-the-fingers sensibility of a horror film. Why is he...No, Don't go in that room! Doesn't he know what's in there? And alone?! I watch with fascination as he plunges eagerly into what to me seems clearly to be a dead zone.
I'm sure others will disagree. Let's hear some counter arguments.

Yeah, photography shows everything without telling anything, which is lovely. Hard to replicate with video (although I'm tempted often, and I've done some). Now flickr also hosts video up to 90s, so this was a very well timed post.

To put one of the differences between the two media in sharp foucus (ha ha) I heard a fascinating comment by William Klein in a documentry about him (and others): He said (and I paraphrase very loosely):
A great photographer may have a archive of 250 great images. An average photo may be shot in say 1/125 th of a second. That means that the entire archive adds up to 2 seconds of real life.
I never thought of it that way!
- April 13, 2008 at 9:55 AM
I know what you mean. Photography is more distilled. It has a unique power in that it seems to show everything but at the same time shows nothing. Video explains itself over and over, while a good photograph can shout or murmur mysteriously without giving itself away. Each viewer might also hear a slightly different song depending on what they bring to the table, in essense, participating in a way not unlike the photographer when the image was created.
Having said that...Lately I've seen some shit in a very videographic way - a figure moving through a landscape, patterns of hail running through rivulets, a burst of human energy and motion followed by calm.
Some of these little moments strike me in a way very similar to noticing something photographically, a little window opens, something comes together, there is a beginning, an end.

In the fifteen months of PBDD's existence, we have seen a tremendous amount of activity and movement. This blog post highlights some recent as well as anticipated changes.
We started by sending queries to existing refurbishing agencies, and a few brave organizations read the description of what we were hoping to achieve and signed up with us. I will always be grateful for those initial partners who had faith in our organization and what we were trying to achieve. I also appreciate the growing set of colleagues working to achieve the broader goals of digital inclusion. As we grow in size and scope, we continue to strive to work efficiently with other organizations, avoiding duplication of efforts.
The creation of the National Digital Inclusion Alliance one year ago has helped draw together non-profit agencies, local governments, libraries and policymakers to update the FCC Lifeline service to include broadband and community-based digital inclusion programs. NDIA's sponsorship of the Net Inclusion Summit in May in Kansas City presented a tremendous opportunity for practitioners, librarians, and policy-makers to gather together and exchange ideas. My list of follow-up action items from the conference continues to grow, as contacts made there blossom into substantive partnerships. The resources shared at the conference will be adding a wealth of information to our web pages.
Other recently launched initiatives, such as National Cristina Foundation's project to create AFTRR, an alliance of non-profit refurbishers, provide a shifting landscape with potential for increased synergy going forward.
And an exciting new relationship for us, the one which prompted this blog entry, is that we will be working with Connected Nation's Connected Program. Connected Nation has been promoting technology availability and usage since 2001. We have just signed a Memorandum of Understanding with them to become a Program Partner, where we will help Connected participant communities implement projects to improve digital inclusion. The Connected program works with a broad base of stakeholders within the target community, surveying the needs of the community and developing a Technology Action Plan. Connected and their Program Partners then provide support and mentoring for the community to implement the plan, bringing technology and digital literacy to underserved members of the community.
Though we had worked with Connected Nation through our involvement in their Drive Your Learning digital learning hub, we are delighted to be working with them as a partner in establishing programs in new communities. When we registered the organization name PBDD, I didn't realize quite how important the partnership notion would be in forming links with other like-minded organizations.
We look forward to continuing our communal work effectively together while working to provide useful services for our partner agencies as well as the broader community. Thank you to all of our partners and those who support us. We look forward to increasing impact as we move forward.

No two ways about it, what I thought was a Chamber in its death spiral some years back has definitely turned a corner.
My involvement with the chamber spans many years and I've never really seen the benefit of involvement but respectfully I represented a family and a local shopping centre and on their behalf would attend most of the events.
My experience was typical of an organisation that lacked vision and forgot what its mission statement was all about. It reached its natural course and the dead wood was apparent in every direction.
1. The dead wood of over government representation
2. The dead wood of big business running the show
3. The dead wood of forgetting to invest in startups and entrepreneurs
4. The dead wood of elitism
Over the last four years I've seen the changing of the guard and the renewing of vision with its focus back on small business and the next generation.
The current new board is filled with new life and respectfully represents what any progressive enterprise ought to have – Pragmatic Enthusiasm 'They are walking the walk and talking the talk'
It was interesting to note that not many big businesses sponsored the chamber this last year but they will to be part of this REVIVAL if they are to remain significant.
It was interesting to see local council and government only sponsored a minimal portion $$$ of what they've done in years gone by and only one councillor attended The Business Awards. This gives me great hope that the balance of power will return to small business rather than having a dependency on government support and hand outs from large corporations.
Organisations like the Swan Chamber of Commerce will thrive when they fight for significance, rather than rest on their laurels of past success.
The last four years may be the most turbulent times that the Swan Chamber of Commerce have had to endure in years but it will pay off in spades if they stay on this trajectory.
They've finished the year with the Business Awards and it was by far the best atmosphere that I've experienced in years.
Full of new blood, youth and young businesses.
I'm confident that the chamber will see a new lease if life as long as it sticks to its purpose 'Support and enable small businesses to thrive and become a lobby group that challenges its very purpose not just its existence'
A special note of thanks to a 21 year old university student, Sebastian, who works part time for the chamber and oversees the marketing, he was integral to making the 2018 Swan Chamber Awards night an absolute success. Sebastian is the absolute representation of what Chambers like this or any other worthwhile organisation stands for.
It's our responsibility as elders to make sure that the next generation are equipped to thrive not just survive. As much as guys like Gerry Hanssen who is the current president of the chamber can be annoying, anyone who knows him well, knows his heart is in the right place and we need more leaders that are tired of talkfests.
Gerry, is comfortable to start looking at a new leader to take his place now that the focus of the chamber is headed in the right direction.
Most leaders would find this hard to do but then again, they are not leaders.

Our tour agent was LetsGoKrabi.Com . It was recommended by a dear friend who went to Krabi last year and booked his tour package from this company. He said the packages offered were of a reasonable price and the lady manning the front desk, who calls herself Min definitely gave us a good price. We didnt book through the website. We went to the shop in person so we could haggle more, in a friendly manner that is.
We chose a 2 day package for 2 adults and 1 child (not paying, 2 years old)
Phi Phi Island + Jungle Treking = 3400 BHT in total.
Phi Phi Island Tour
Being a fat muslimah and all (haha..) I purchased a burkini online. I wanted to look picture perfect during snorkeling and all those sandy beach activities. On top of complying with the shariah and all. I also packed a tab of antiemetics in anticipation of being sea sick on board.
I was a first time snorkler (gosh.. is that even a word) and I kept reminding myself to breath from the mouth. And not to panic!
This tour took up nearly a day already starting from 9am till 4PM. Just enough time to get a shut eye back in the hotel for a while before going out again for dinner. Thankfully there were free flow drinking water and pepsi to quench the thirst on the boat. My little boy had no complaints and he gulped on the Pepsi like a pepsi-holic!

Enjoy skiing even in spring
Are you one of those skiing enthusiasts that doesn't want to put their skis away even when the weather turns warmer? Don't worry, Slovenia also has higher-lying ski centres where you can go skiing even when snowdrops and primroses are already blooming in the valley. If the weather conditions are suitable, you can extend your ski season until the May Day holidays.
Skiing without borders on Kanin
The Kanin ski centre is the only Slovenian ski centre located high up in the Alps, at an elevation of 2,292 m. It is connected to the neighbouring Sella Nevea ski centre in Italy, and together they offer skiers more than 30 kilometres of well-maintained ski runs and skiing with a single ski pass. Due to the high elevation and an abundance of snow, the ski season in this ski centre usually lasts until the May Day holidays. In addition to excellent spring-time skiing, you'll also be rewarded with a splendid view of the Soča Valley and the Julian Alps.
Spring-time skiing on Krvavec
The Krvavec Ski Centre is one of the most popular ski centres in Slovenia, and for a number of years it has been named the Top Slovenian Ski Centre. There, you can find 30 kilometres of dedicated ski runs and an abundance of other snow fun at an elevation from 1450 to 1971 m. It is the closest ski centre to the capital city of Ljubljana and it provides at least 100 days of skiing every season. The ski season usually lasts until April, but it can last longer if the snow conditions are favourable. The ski season is usually concluded with an exciting event called Luža.
A winter fairy-tale on Vogel – even in the spring
Go skiing in the embrace of the Julian Alps and Triglav National Park, which provide an incredible backdrop. The Vogel Ski Centre is a true winter fairy tale where you can go skiing on natural snow. Although the ski centre mainly depends on nature's generosity, a suitably thick snow cover at an elevation of more than 1500 m allows you to go skiing even in spring, all the way until the end of April.
Springtime snow fun on Rogla
In the forests of the Pohorje Hills, at an elevation of more than 1500 m, you can find the Rogla Ski Centre, which is considered to be one of the most popular family ski resorts. In an area of approximately 100 hectares, there are well-maintained ski runs for experienced skiers and beginners alike, and the ski season lasts at least 100 days or, if the weather permits, until April. Even if you are not a skier, you can enjoy a wide range of snow activities on Rogla – for all generations.
Ski fun on Golte
On the eastern brink of the Kamnik and Savinja Alps, at an elevation between 1280 and 1576 m, you can find the Golte Ski Centre, which can be reached by way of a cable car or by driving up on a panoramic road. Due to many new developments and improvements, the centre has been increasingly making a name for itself among Slovenia's ski centres, while also trying to extend the ski season as far into spring as possible. Experience the magical atmosphere of skiing in pleasant spring temperatures with a wonderful view of the Savinja Valley awakening in the spring.
Soriška Planina – in the winter and spring
Between Bohinj and Selca Valley, you can go skiing on Soriška Planina. This small, yet pleasant ski centre is located at an elevation between 1287 and 1550 m. Its good location and dynamic terrain provide a skiing experience for all generations, for people with all levels of ski skills; and you can also choose from among various winter activities. The ski season usually lasts from December to April.
Ski into the spring elsewhere, too
You can also experience early spring on your skis at some other lower-lying ski centres, which use artificial snow to ensure that the ski season lasts as long as possible. So, if there are favourable snow conditions and temperatures, you can go skiing in March in Kranjska Gora, Maribor Pohorje, Kope, or Cerkno.
We have not yet heard the last of winter
Even when we can smell the aroma of spring in the air, you can still find places to enjoy fun in snow, whether it be skiing, cross-country skiing, or walks in the snow. While you are able to still enjoy winter conditions in higher-lying locations, a spring atmosphere awaits you in the valley. Perhaps you can join Shrovetide masks or celebrate Easter with us.

The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli is a special squish of an adorable story. It just ticks all the right boxes for what YA contemporary is longing after. It's cute and fun and manages to weave in the awkwardness of teenagerdom (shh that's totally a word) with the epically beautiful and special parts about growing up and finding out who you are and, of course, falling in love.
The story centres around Molly who is a sufferer of many, many unrequited crushes. Then her twin sister, Cassie, meets the most amazing girl and Molly truly starts to realise what she's missing. But she's conscious that she's not particularly "cool" and that she's fat (which she worries people will judge her for), and that she doesn't want to fall for someone who isn't going to treat her well. Molly is all into Pinterest arts and baking and hanging out with her super cool friends. Then she meets two boys: Will, who is like the most adorable hipster boy who seems to really truly like her…maybe more than "like", and then there's also Reid, who Molly works with who's a ginormous nerd and wears Lord of the Rings tee-shirts and is unconventional and dorky. But he's not really Molly's type. But is Will either?
It's truly a story about falling in love for the first time, but also about growing up and feeling left behind by your peers if you're not "keeping up" enough.
I adored how diverse it was, with at least 50%, if not more, of the cast stars queer characters of different ethnicities.
The writing is, of course, brilliant and totally addictive! Seriously I could never look away from the page. It's just captivating and beautifully written and it felt so real and relatable with the tone and dialogue. Becky Albertalli just knows how to write books that make you feel like you're living inside them.
The characters were definitely the best part! They were relatable and dorky at times and completely realistic. I did struggle to connect to Molly, though, with her 30+ unrequited crushes. That's a lot of people to fall in love with, okay?! She doesn't really ACT on them, though, so the book isn't full of breakups and angst. I still loved Molly for her who she felt everyone was growing up around her and she was stagnating. The book puts forth the question of "am I keeping up?" and then slaps it down because there isn't a timeline to do things! Molly can be 16 and not have kissed anyone and that doesn't make her weird or broken. I think this book captured just how overwhelming growing up can be. Also it was super cute to see how into Pinterest arts and crafts Molly was! When she was planning her mothers' weddings Pinterest-style?! OH YES AND YES.
There were so many beautiful messages too. I love how Molly's mums talked about there not being "a specific age" to reach milestones and achieve things. And of course it underlined that love is love no matter what. And even though Molly had anxiety and was shy, she never was forced to become someone else.
Also the romance was freaking adorable. It had the potential to be an angsty love-triangle, but it wasn't!
The Upside of Unrequited is a glorious, sweet, happy and feels-good book that will truly make you smile! The writing is captivating, the characters are relatable, and there are so many chocolate mini-eggs that you will find yourself having a serious craving and probably gnawing on your copy of the book. So be wise: read it + eat chocolate simultaneously. The story is full of poignant messages and sweet plot twists and is a definite must read!

Hillary's paid speech to Goldman Sachs
Video surfaces of Hillary Clinton's paid speech to Goldman Sachs, and it's completely harmless
| 02/6/2016 |RePost: 04/17/2016 12:28:16 AM|
With Hillary Clinton now being singled out for having given the same kind of paid speeches during her time out of office that all politicians have generally given when they've had career gaps their own, curiosity has arisen as to just what Clinton was telling entities like Goldman Sachs during these speeches. There's no longer any need to wonder, because video footage has surfaced. As it turns out, Hillary was speaking to Wall Street to try to make the case for gender equity in the business world.
The wild conspiracy theories coming from those who oppose Hillary Clinton in the Presidential election have never made logical sense. If Clinton were preparing to deregulate Wall Street and give the big financial institutions what they want, she would logically already be singing the praises of deregulation in order to soften the ground for it, as the republican candidates are currently doing. There is no such thing as a Presidential candidate running on a platform of Wall Street reform, as Clinton is, and then getting into office and suddenly going the opposite direction.
Nonetheless, supporters of Clinton's opponent have convinced themselves that her speeches to Wall Street were part of some secret plot against mainstream Americans. Those individuals would do well to watch the actual footage of her speech, which is all about promoting women in entrepreneurial roles. Even when Hillary Clinton was addressing Wall Street, she was pushing for gender equity, not some kind of pro-corporate agenda. Watch her 2014 Goldman Sachs speech below: Hillary Clinton begins speaking almost immediately (22 sec)…
Source: Video surfaces of Hillary Clinton's paid speech to Goldman Sachs, and it's completely harmless
When Bernie supporters, critics, pundits and reporters across the political spectrum question and repeat right-wing claims of her (Hillary's) trustworthiness or other terms used to demean her; you are following in the foot-steps of the Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and other right-wing groups used to dehumanize Hillary. It's a Policy Strategy to make a claim and false narrative towards her because of their fear of liberalism that can't be controlled and because of their racism, sexism and Misogyny.
You want her transcripts… Watch Hillary Clinton address Golden Sachs' 10,000 Women initiative above… Hillary Clinton begins at marker 22 (sec)… Smart, influential people can get paid for and deliver speeches because it benefits those who book them in some way, passing-on what they know; proving a Case for Women Entrepreneurs. Get over it!

The Ketogenic Diet
For many people, the ketogenic diet is a great option for weight loss. It is very different and allows the person on the diet to eat a diet that consists of foods that you may not expect.
So the ketogenic diet, or keto, is a diet that consists of very low carbs and high fat. How many diets are there where you can start your day off with bacon and eggs, loads of it, then follow it up with chicken wings for lunch and then steak and broccoli for dinner. That may sound too good to be true for many. Well on this diet this is a great day of eating and you followed the rules perfectly with that meal plan.
When you eat a very low amount of carbs your body gets put into a state of ketosis. What this means is your body burns fat for energy. How low of an amount of carbs do you need to eat in order to get into ketosis? Well, it varies from person to person, but it is a safe bet to stay under 25 net carbs. Many would suggest that when you are in the "induction phase" which is when you are actually putting your body into ketosis, you should stay under 10 net carbs.
If you aren't sure what net carbs are, let me help you. Net carbs are the amount of carbs you eat minus the amount of dietary fiber. So if on the day you eat a total of 35 grams of net carbs and 13 grams of dietary fiber, your net carbs for the day would be 22. Simple enough, right?
So besides weight loss what else is good about keto? Well many people talk about their improved mental clarity on when on the diet. Another benefit is having an increase in energy. Yet another is a decreased appetite.
One thing to worry about when going on the ketogenic diet is something called "keto flu." Not everyone experiences this, but for this that do it can be tough. You will feel lethargic and you may have a headache. It won't last very long. When you feel this way make sure you get plenty of water and rest to get through it.
If this sounds like the kind of diet you would be interested in, then what are you waiting for? Dive heard first into keto. You won't believe the results you get in such a short amount of time.
What are you waiting for? Let's get you started with keto today!

These top 20 catchers for 2009 fantasy baseball will be yawnstipating compared to the top 20 1st basemen or even top 20 shortstops, but you have to start somewhere, right? (That was rhetorical.) You can check out our other top 20 lists for 2009 fantasy baseball under 2009 Fantasy Baseball Rankings. I usually don't draft a top catcher, instead I hold off until the later rounds and grab one of the late rounders. That doesn't mean I'm going to start the top 20 catcher list at number twenty-one (Varitek? Oy vey.), cause some of youse like to gamble on a top catcher. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them draft Chris Snyder. Listed along with these catchers are my 2009 projections for each player. Feel free to also look at our 2009 fantasy baseball player rater. Anyway, here's the top 20 catchers for 2009 fantasy baseball:
1. Brian McCann – This is the first tier of catchers. This tier goes from here to Doumit. I call this tier, "I won't own one, but I hear they're good." This was the one top catcher I owned in 2008 and that was only because he seemed to be discounted compared to Joe Mauer and Victor Martinez. So my fantasy team with McCann must've have been the top performing offensive team I had, right? Nopers. The top catcher, McCann, still only gave you 68/23/87/.301. If he did that at 3rd base, you'd call him Melvin Mora. Zoinks! 2009 Projections: 75/25/95/.295
2. Geovany Soto – I have a personal bias against Mauer, but I'll get to him. (9 HRs and 1 steal in 2008!?! Are you effin' kidding me?) Seems to me that the current climate (outside of Chicago) about Soto is he was great in 2008, but that's about all we can expect from him. He's going to be 26 on opening day. He can't get better? Actually, he can. 2009 Projections: 70/26/100/.280
3. Joe Mauer – Somewhere someone once wrote, "9 HRs and 1 steal in 2008!?! Are you effin' kidding me?" I forget where I read that, but it's eloquent, profound and other razzy words for eloquent and profound. Why are people drafting this dooode so early? For a .330 average? Shoot, lay off the Mark Reynolds-trans fat and you don't need the Joe Mauer tasting-like-dust protein shake. 2009 Projections: 95/12/80/.320/3
4. Victor Martinez – I'm not drafting Victor Martinez on any teams, unless… Once again, and in caps — UNLESS he falls really far in a draft. He's only going to be thirty-years-old during the 2009 season; I don't think he's done just yet. 2009 Projections: 65/18/95/.300
5. Russell Martin – Martin is featured in our Razzball glossary for the term, "Teabagger," but otherwise Razzball doesn't have much love for The Backstop Who Plays Near Eagle Rock. I don't want to have anything to do with a catcher who gives you value because of some schmohawkian steals. You'd be surprised at how fast a 13/18 catcher can become a 12/7 catcher. You really want to draft Placido Polanco in the fourth round as your catcher? 2009 Projections: 95/15/70/.285/10
6. Ryan Doumit – This is a new tier. This tier goes from here to Biggie Molina. I call this tier, "The first catchers I could draft in any league." I originally had Iannetta at number six then put Doumit here, then Iannetta then Shoppach then… Well, you get the idea. The next three catchers are all very close. Doumit is injury-prone, but so what? If he hits 17 home runs in 110 games and you can plug in someone else the other 50 games, you're actually better off than having a subpar catcher for 160 games. Doumit's injury history is actually how he ended up in front of Iannetta and Shoppach. It's a plus in my mind. 2009 Projections: 60/17/70/.295/2
7. Chris Iannetta – Could easily finish 2009 in the top 3 of this top 20 list, which makes him so enticing. He would've been ranked a bit higher on this list if not for Yorvit Torrealba's deal with the devil to lessen Iannetta's fantasy value. 2009 Projections: 55/19/70/.265
8. Kelly Shoppach – The Indians have to play Martinez at 1st or DH, right? I think they do, but they might not. Here's a scenario, V-Mart starts off slow and says he needs to be behind the plate to get going offensively. The Indians appease Martinez four times a week and Shoppach sits in 75% of the games. This may sound like death for Shoppach's value, but I still think he could put up 15 home runs in that scenario. Remember, Shoppach was once a decent prospect. Hopefully, he gets even more at-bats. 2009 Projections: 50/18/60/.260
9. Mike Napoli – Bill James has Napoli hitting 31 home runs if he gets 449 at-bats. Well, that's the catch, ain't it? (Speaking of catch, has anyone ever seen Fishing with John? It's one of the best TV shows ever. The episode where he goes ice fishing with Willem Dafoe is brilliant. But I digress.) Last year in 227 at-bats, Napoli's numbers were 39/20/49/.273/7. With full-time catcher duties, he's the number one catcher, right? No. His average isn't going to be over .270 in 2009 and he's not a full-time catcher. Also, if he were a full-time catcher in 2009, his average would really suffer. 2009 Projections: 55/23/65/.245/7
10. Bengie Molina – And onto the next tier of catchers. I like to call this tier, "Just punt and go with an upside pick like Salty, Teagarden or Flores." 2009 Projections: 50/15/70/.275
11. Ramon Hernandez – Every time I convince myself Ramon Hernandez has one more big season left in him, my common sense steps in and talks about what a bloody moron I am. I'd consider grabbing Ramon Hernandez in some leagues, but the better move is grabbing a younger upside pick real late cough Clement cough 2009 Projections: 55/17/75/.260
12. Jorge Posada – Posada has the name attached to him that says 20 home runs and 85 runs. But he has a shoulder (barely) attached to him that says 12 home runs and a DL stint. Don't get nostalgic. Posada's not worth being drafted in ten team mixed leagues. If you're drafting a catcher this far down the list, do yourself a favor, grab Salty or even Laird. 2009 Projections: 55/12/65/.270
13. Pablo Sandoval – And another tier begins. Let's call this tier, "Guys that I wouldn't mind having on my team. After all, it is just a catcher. Take a flier." You get an extra catcher, because Sandoval might not be eligible at catcher in your league. If he is, you're in luck because there's going to be a 2009 Fantasy Baseball sleeper post about Sandoval shortly. 2009 Projections: 60/14/65/.300
14. Chris Snyder – A poor man's Napoli. 2009 Projections: 55/18/70/.245
15. Jeff Clement – Huge 2009 fantasy sleeper right here. I may even devote a whole post to this guy. Maybe a few posts. Okay, maybe just this half of a paragraph. Last year in Triple-A, he went 40/14/43/.335 in only 173 at-bats. 173 at-bats! Okay, so he was abysmal when he was called up to the majors, but so what? He's only 25 and he has catcher eligibility. I need to say more? 2009 Projections: 60/17/70/.250
16. Jarrod Saltamacchia – May not have the starting job in 2009, and he could still see 350 at-bats. He'll probably be in a timeshare with Teagarden and he'll steal at-bats from Blalock (or Blalock will pull a Kotchman and be out indefintely). Salty only feels like a guy who is a perennial bust. He'll only be 24 for the majority of the 2009 season. 2009 Projections: 65/16/75/.265
17. Dioner Navarro – I think Navarro and Sandoval must workout together. They have the softball build without the upper body strength to tap the keg. 2009 Projections: 50/10/60/.285
18. Jesus Flores – If Snyder was a poor man's Napoli, Flores is a poor man's Snyder. What? Not impressed with that comparison? Okay, what if I called him a homeless man's McCann? 2009 Projections: 50/14/65/.245
19. Yadier Molina – And here's a new player tier made up of two schmohawks. This tier I call, "Guys who I would never have on my team." Maybe I'm drunk on stupid, but I don't buy the .300 average from Molina last year. Though he's not quite the guy who hit .216 one year either. He is the guy that can't break double figures in home runs. As The Count from Sesame Street would say, "Bleh!" 2009 Projections: 35/7/50/.270
20. A.J. Pierzynski – I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you're drafting a catcher this late and you're taking Pierzynski, you're not trying hard enough. 2009 Projections: Yuck/Blah/I Feel Sick/.280
After the top 20 catchers for 2009 fantasy baseball, there's a lot of names but three stand out:
Matt Wieters – Well, la di da. If it isn't the pre-preseason AL Rookie of the Year candidate, Matt Wieters, who's now under the shadow of The Almighty Zaun. I already went over Wieters 2009 fantasy outlook. With the addition of Zaun, Wieters is only worth a look in deep AL-Only leagues and keepers. In one year leagues, don't bother or wait until Spring Training to see if Zaun is being used instead of Wieters or simply as a mentor. If Zaun's his mentor and Wieters is the starter, then Wieters moves back up this list. Just don't reach too far for him. For every Geovany Soto, there's six grande Salty-Mochachinos. 2009 Projections: 50/17/60/.290 or the Minors
Gerald Laird – He's actually more valuable than Yadier Molina. That's right; I said it. I placed him at the back end of the catcher tier though to highlight him and because, similarly to Teagarden, there's more risk involved with Laird. Yes, he's the cream of the crap. 2009 Projections: 60/13/65/.270
Taylor Teagarden – I already went over a 2009 Teagarden fantasy outlook. Before you write off Teagarden for being behind Salty, remember these three things. 1) Salty could move to 1st, when Davis is filling in for a DL'd DH. 2) Teagarden has already impressed Rangers' management, unlike Salty. 3) There's no number three. If Teagarden leaves spring with the job, he moves up this list. So stay tuned! Or not! It's your call really. 2009 Projections: 50/18/65/.265

With the recent changes in the economy and business hiring practices, an increasing number of workers are self-employed, either by choice or out of necessity. Self-employment can be working as an independent contractor for a business or being the sole proprietor of your own business. When faced with overwhelming debt, self-employed workers have the right to file for bankruptcy like anyone else. However, steps such as verifying their income can be more complicated.
Income Verification
Calculating your monthly income is an important step when filing for bankruptcy because it can determine whether you file under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy means test uses your current monthly income over the past six months prior to the filing of your case to decide whether you qualify for Chapter 7. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your income will determine how much you will repay your unsecured creditors (i.e. credit cards, medical bills, signature loans). Verifying your monthly income is more complicated if you are self-employed because your income may come from various sources and may be inconsistent depending on how regularly you receive work. Self-employed workers can verify their monthly income by presenting:
- Check stubs;
- Invoices;
- Contracts;
- Bank statements;
- Tax returns; and
- Signed statements from the party that paid them.
Many self-employed workers are able to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they have less disposable income....

┬®Alejandra Crespo
Pablo Corral Vega (1966) is an Ecuadorian photojournalist, artist and lawyer whose work has been published in National Geographic, National Geographic Traveler, the Smithsonian Magazine, the New York Times Sunday magazine, Audubon, the French, German, Spanish, and Russian editions of Geo, and other international reviews. He is the founder and director of nuestramirada.org, the network of Latin American photojournalists and is the codirector of Pictures of The Year Latin America, the largest contest of its kind in the region. He was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University and was a judge for both World Press Photo and Pictures of the Year. He is currently the Culture Secretary for the city of Quito.
His work has been exhibited in Perpignan, Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Tokyo, Seville, Washington, D.C., and Houston, and he has published six books of photography: Tierra Desnuda, Paisajes del Silencio, Ecuador: De la Magia al Espanto, Ecuador, Twenty-Five and Andes. For Andes, published by the National Geographic Society, Nobel Prize winning author Mario Vargas Llosa wrote twenty short stories inspired by the photos.
About CorralŌĆÖs work, Vargas Llosa had this to say: ŌĆ£In Pablo CorralŌĆÖs photographs there is always a hope, an affirmation of life, a will to survive even in face of the worst adversities, and this hope, this affirmation, this drive manifest themselves in the humblest and the most mistreated, whether by their fellow human beings or by catastrophes. It may be, in fact, that these images that portray the ability to resist, the ability not to be crushed by the most elemental and terrible conditions of life, are the most persuasive of the collection. They are images of people bowed under the weight of a centuries-long oppression, people who have been exploited, are being exploited, and then forgotten, condemned to live in the most extreme poverty, the most extreme conditions, at the constant risk and in the constant awareness of death. And yet none of that has taken away from these people their joie de vivre, the gaiety of their fiestas, the fun of getting into costumes and dancing to the music of their bands, the happiness of walking with their saints and virgins in sumptuous processions. In the villages of the Sierras, Pablo CorralŌĆÖs camera, filled with sympathy and solidarity with those he is about to photograph, can always pick out that secret little flame that never stops flickering, even in the darkest of circumstances, and whose philosophy can be summed up by this old saying: ŌĆśThe last thing that dies in the human being is hope.ŌĆÖŌĆØ

Peanut butter isn't just for school lunches. This versatile spread is surprisingly good for your health. The high protein and healthy oils help with weight loss, diabetes and even Alzheimer's disease.
No food is perfect, though. so there are some cautions with peanuts. Hopefully, you are not part of the 1 per cent of the population that is highly allergic to peanuts.
November is National Peanut Butter Lover's Month. More than 65 million pounds of peanut butter will be eaten by Americans during the month of November.
"Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter." James A. Garfield
8 Health Benefits of Peanut Butter
1. Suppresses Hunger For Weight Loss
Eating peanuts and peanut butter helps control hunger without leading to weight gain.
2. Your Heart Loves Peanuts
Studies found peanuts lowered the risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart disease.
3. Lowers Colon Cancer
Eating peanuts and peanut butter may reduce colon cancer in women.
4. Helps Protect Against Alzheimer's Disease and Memory Impairment
A study found that those getting the most niacin from foods were 70 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Peanuts are one of the foods highest in niacin.
5. Prevent Gallstones
In two studies, individuals eating five or more servings of nuts per week had a 25 percent to 30 percent lower risk of getting gallstones compared to those who rarely or never ate nuts. Although peanuts are technically classified as a legume, they were considered nuts for these experiments, so peanuts are actually the most commonly consumed 'nut' in the world.
6. Full of Healthy Fat
All of the fat in peanut butter is heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. A study found that insulin-resistant adults who ate a diet high in mono-saturated fat had less belly fat than people who ate more carbohydrates or saturated fat.
7. Lowers Type 2 Diabetes
Eating peanuts can reduce the risk of diabetes according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
8. High in Valuable Nutrition
Peanut butter has protein as well as potassium — which lowers the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease. It also contains fiber for your bowel health, healthy fats, magnesium to fortify your bones and muscles, Vitamin E and antioxidants.
Caution: Peanuts and Aflatoxin
Peanuts are susceptible to molds and fungus — some of which are highly toxic. A fungus called Aspergillus flavus produces a carcinogen that is twenty times more toxic than DDT, called aflatoxin. (To read all about these molds and the best way to minimize the risk, click here.)
History of Peanut Butter
Peanut Butter Lovers Day started on November 4, 1990. It marks the anniversary of the first patent for peanut butter, applied for by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg on November 4, 1895.
Peanut Butter Trivia
- In the early 1900s, peanut butter was found in tea rooms as a fancy food for rich people.
- The USA has had two Presidents elected who were peanut farmers: Thomas Jefferson and Jimmy Carter.
- In one acre of land, there is enough peanuts to make 30,000 peanut butter sandwiches.
- Before graduating high school, the average child will have consumed 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
- Women and children like creamy peanut butter and men prefer crunchy.
Best Peanut Butter to Buy:
Read the label. Natural, old-fashioned organic peanut butter with no hydrogenated fats and sugar is the best. Choose peanut butter that contains only peanuts and salt. This kind is full of peanut flavor and doesn't contain additives and is better for the environment too. Refrigerate it and turn it upside down in the fridge so the peanut oils and solids can re-mix.
My Favorite Peanut Butter Recipes: You don't need a recipe to spread peanut butter on bread or celery, but the following recipes go way beyond that!
Peanut Butter Bliss Balls These are an old favorite of mine developed during my hippy days in the 70's.
Peanut Butter Sauce with Ginger This is one of those life saving recipes when unexpected guests arrived.

This week's question: What is a deal breaker for you in a book? For example, do you abhor love triangles? Or can't deal with bad editing?
My Answer: A shitty story line with so much irrelevant internalising or pointless plot that I want to shove a tooth pick in my eyeball. I hate that some books make me skip whole pages in favour of getting back on track, or worse still, you skip several pages and have missed absolutely nothing at all - a fair sign of a waffler!

Mission Celebrates Proposed New Site
Contact: Thomas Hottman
Nine-year-old Vanessa Brown hammered a stake into the ground Sunday afternoon at the future site of the Klamath Falls Gospel Mission's women's facility on South Sixth Street.
The stake read, "God Bless All Women," in black marker, representative of the women who will one day enter the facility at the site.
"We should be thankful for everything we have," Brown said, adding that the new shelter for men and for men would help those in need.
Brown was one of about 300 people who got an up-close look at the future of mission facilities at the "Celebration of Blessings" Sunday on South Sixth Street. Many attendees, like Brown, shared a message or a prayer at the site.
"It's a personal investment in this project," Capital campaign committee member Candi Sonerholm said of the stakes and well wishes, which dotted the outlines of the new facilities.
The event debuted to the community the plans for the mission's new $2.35 million men's and women's emergency shelters and dining hall and kitchen. The mission has raised $1 million, and needs $1.35 million to begin construction.
The facilities are one component of an 18-acre human services campus slated to help individuals navigate homelessness and other hardships. Sky Lakes bought the property in 2014 and has collaborated with grass-roots organization, "Klamath Works," and the mission on creating the campus.
For organizers, the event was a day to offer thanksgiving for the blessings of a new home for the mission, to express gratitude for those involved in the project, and to share of the immediate need for multiple services.
"The navigation of life in this world is not always easy, and at times, for some people, the pressures and problems encountered are overwhelming," Free Evangelical Church pastor emeritus Robin Maxson said, during the program.
"There's not a one of us today who has not needed the help of others to overcome some obstacle, to get past some hurdle we could not have managed on our own," Maxson added. "We who take up the challenge of helping others begin with thanksgiving.
"We seek only to pass along what we ourselves have received," he added.
The event brought together representatives from the mission, Klamath Works members, and Sky Lakes Medical Center.
Klamath Works member Brian Irwin was one of several who shared about the importance of the campus: "To provide the needy with the most direct route from dependency to dignity and self-sufficiency," Irwin said.
"We believe in the virtue of work," Irwin added. "In order to do that, we need to have collaboration across all segments of the community."
The mission will be one link in the chain of services provided at the campus, but will remain a separate entity. The added space will be welcome, according to Ron Hicks, men's director at the Klamath Falls Gospel Mission.
Hicks oversees many of the day-to-day operations for the men at the mission, also sees the immediate need. Hicks walked the field on Sunday where he envisioned much-needed improvements for mission residents and volunteers.
"It kind of went from a plan to reality," Hicks said.
"This thing really is a miracle … It's going to give us the space we need."
Mission Executive Director Kent Berry echoed the sentiment. "This is fulfilling a vision that was given the gospel mission years ago," Berry said. "We're seeing that come to pass and we're thrilled to death."

I hate to do nothing. I get stir crazy. The Husband gets annoyed when we go on vacation and I don't want to just sit by the pool. One hour at the pool in the morning and one hour at the pool in the afternoon and that's more than enough for me. I'd much rather be doing things, sightseeing, walking around, anything but sitting. I know most people enjoy doing nothing, but I'm a weirdo.
We recently went on Vacation and all the downtime drove me nuts. We did a lot, don't get me wrong, but there was too much down time for my liking. I'm the same when it comes to work. I want to be busy. I think that's partially why one of my most favorite jobs ever was being a Front Desk manager for a busy Cape Cod hotel.
Being a front desk manager in a busy hotel in a vacation hotspot means being ready for anything, and I mean anything. There are so many different people, coming and going, needing directions, needing recommendations, having complaints, just chatting while they wait for their friend. It was never a dull moment.
There was one night when we were patting ourselves on the back for a smooth Friday night check-in. We had just checked-in three coaches full of tourists from various places who had come to visit Cape Cod for the first time. After the room moves, the luggage deliveries, and making sure that everyone was happy, we got a call from another local tour operator. They had a coach full of unhappy guests. The hotel they had checked into did not meet their standards and this tour operator wanted to know if we had any rooms. We did, but it took at least a day in most cases to prepare for a coach. I gladly took on the challenge. We made the key cards in record time. The room maps were highlighted and attached to the key envelope with precision. We labeled everything and entered in the rooming list all before the bus pulled into our parking lot. The guests entered the hotel relieved that they had found somewhere nicer and for once, they were all happy with their rooms (a rare thing).
It felt good. It was crazy. It was chaotic. It was glorious. I thrive on being surrounded by a chaotic mess of business. It's wonderful. I know that some people might think that's not healthy but it's just something that I just love.
I sometimes miss that chaos of a busy job. I don't necessarily miss the hours that are required but it sure beats the opposite. I have experienced the joys of unemployment and I nearly went insane over it. The first few days of unemployment were lovely. I read books, watched daytime tv, realized why I liked reading books during the day more than daytime tv, watched movies. Then the boredom hit.
It's amazing how having nothing to do can really wear on one's brain. There's that old poem by Shel Silverstein "Whatif" that pretty much summed up how my brain began to function. It was like a switch flipped and all of a sudden my brain realized that it was being underutilized. I stared thinking crazy things like in the poem. When I had nothing to think about during the day, I just started going to places that no normal person goes and it was like my mind couldn't shut off.
That was when I really learned about myself and how I needed to be thinking, problem solving, having some kind of thing to do during my day other than trying to entertain myself. I actually missed people complaining to me or even accusing me of stealing their orthopedic shoes (true story!) which is something I thought I would never miss.
I guess that's why I have turned to blogging. It helps fill the void. I work part-time now and I now have a daughter who takes up a lot of my time, but it's not really chaos. Blogging has helped me keep my mind busy and kept me from a padded room somewhere, though I hear that those rooms are very relaxing…
Do you like being busy or do you prefer relaxing and vegging out?
This post was inspired by NaBloPoMo, a month-long blogging project. Read other blogs that are participating by clicking here. Today's prompt: Are you happier when you're working or when you're relaxing?

Ah, mon Dieu!
Imagine the shock bikini-clad Paris residents encountered last week as they began flocking to city parks and the banks of the River Seine to escape the heat wave only to be stopped by the "moral police."
In a statement posted on its website, the Paris police prefecture outlined rules for basking in the sun outdoors and at the popular Paris Plages annual event that has sandy beaches and deckchairs laid out on the river bank, AFP reports:
"Police said it is not forbidden 'when the thermometer rises a few degrees to put on your best bathing suit and find a little corner of grass or the welcoming banks of the Seine to put down your towel.' But it noted that bathing suits should not be worn in official city parks and that dress should be 'decent and in accordance with good morals and public order'."
I never thought I would live to see they day when the statement "decent and in accordance with good morals and public order" comes out of France.
According to AFP, those wearing inappropriate dress could be fined at least 38 euros ($47) and face fines of up to 3,750 euros and two years in jail if suspected of soliciting sex.
Needless to say, the popular French pastime of sunbathing nude is completely out of the question.
"Any outfit that allows for the genital area or breasts to be seen constitutes sexual exhibition and is punishable by a year in prison," police said to AFP.
Granted, the moral police in Paris doesn't seem to be quite as strict as the moral police in, say, Saudi Arabia. Just last month, a Saudi woman in a shopping mall in Riyadh was reportedly harassed by a moral officer for wearing nail polish.
Thankfully, in France, one is unlikely to be harassed for "wearing" things. Not yet, anyway.
Heck, in Paris, you could probably just wear a layer of nail polish covering the disputed body parts and — provided you look like Audrey Tautou — you might just be able to talk yourself out of the fine.
Gives a whole new meaning to "French manicure," doesn't it?

Our graduate program is a structured yet flexible two/three year program. It allows you to undertake six to 12-month project assignments for the duration of the program.
We recruit annually to meet future business needs.
We are looking for innovative, confident and creative graduates from a variety of disciplines. You need to be adaptable. You also need to be able to start and implement projects of strategic significance and community importance.
Graduate placements are across South Australia. They are in both Adelaide and regional locations of the state.
You must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident to apply for a graduate program position.
Graduate program applicants must be open to a range of diverse experiences, being involved in cross-agency projects and working in a variety of areas across the business.
Applications for our Graduate Program are currently closed.
Some of the past graduate program participants explain its value to their careers.
Alyson says she received a lot of support for career planning and development through discussions about where she wants to go and how she can get there.
"Rotations offered as part of the SA Water Graduate Program gave me the opportunity to undertake meaningful work placements in a variety of different areas in the business. I used this opportunity to become involved in project work, which exposed me to many different business groups (operations, environmental
management and procurement) and external organisations, and allowed me to get out on-site and get my hands dirty! I was able to explore the different business groups and find the area to which I was most suited, and that I most enjoyed, and then pursue as a career path. Through working in different groups
I developed a range of different technical and non-technical skills that increased my confidence and networks through the business."
Christy says she realised that small changes can make a huge difference.
"As a part of SA Water's Graduate Program, I was given the opportunity to work in the Product Testing Laboratory in the Australian Water Quality Centre (AWQC).
The AWQC provides leading international laboratory services. I was involved directly with developing and evaluating a new experimental method, which was designed to achieve a higher quality of testing and improved time and cost efficiency.
One of SA Water's key values is to seek and apply better ways. The business unit has put a strong focus on research and development of novel technologies. The project I took part in is one of the many opportunities for graduates and staff to work as a team in creating innovative ways to improve laboratory operations."
Mason said he was proud to have worked on a project that is significantly important to the long-term future of South Australia.
"The Adelaide Desalination Plant itself is an innovation. It is the largest water infrastructure project ever undertaken in SA, and it incorporates cutting edge technology in the field of desalination. As a Graduate in the ADP Process team, I have been able to observe the day-to-day operation of a large-scale construction project and provide input to technical document review. I have also contributed to innovative R&D projects designed to reduce problems associated with membrane water treatment. I am conducting lab-based experiments aimed at reducing biofouling of membranes and have incorporated the assistance of various scientific institutions to achieve this. Innovation is a key to reducing energy usage and sustainability of the desalination process. I am proud to be a part of the process.
The ADP is particularly exciting because it is the only project of its size and scale ever undertaken in South Australia. Being a part of it is incredibly rewarding and challenging. There is a learning process that everyone involved in the project is going through. This contributes to individual personal development and understanding of what is required in major projects."

The most talked about weight loss product is finally here! A powerful fat burning ketone, BHB has been modified to produce a instant fat burning solution the natural way. Beta-hydroxybutyrate is the first substrate that kicks the metabolic state of ketosis into action. If you take it, BHB is able to start processing in your body resulting in energy and greatly speed up weight loss by putting your body into ketosis. This one BHB Supplement is a revolutionary breakthrough that has the Media in a frenzy!
Keto Buzz with BHB is here to stay because of the unsurmountable success people are having losing up to 1lb of fat per day!
After the body has worked through its stores of glycogen, it shifts to needing to
use fats as ENERGY
Stored fats are broken down for energy, resulting in a build up of KETONESwithin the body
The body uses the build up as ketones as its PRIMARY FUEL, replacing the role of glucose in many cases including acting as fuel from BRAIN AND HEART.
In this state, the body also creates glucose from non-carbohydrate sources to supply glucose to a small set of bodily processes that require it.
This long, fun to say word is not important, only that the body can do this all on its own!
Currently with the massive load of cabohydrates in our foods, our bodies are conditioned to burn carbs for energy instead of fat. Because it is an easier energy source for the body to use up.
Ketosis is the state where your body is actually burning fat for energy instead of carbs. Ketosis is extremely hard to obtain on your own and takes weeks to accomplish. Keto Buzz actually helps your body achieve ketosis fast and helps you burn fat for energy instead of carbs!
I have struggled maintaining my weight since I was a teenager. Every year it seemed like I would put on an extra couple of pounds. No matter how much I exercised or dieted, it seemed like the pounds just wouldn't go away. That was until I found Keto Buzz. I couldn't believe at how quickly I started to lose weight. Not only did I lose weight, but I started to feel more energetic and alive again. Can't thank Keto Buzz enough!
Keto Buzz is a one-of-a-kind ketosis product designed to help you lose weight and feel amazing.
Keto Buzz is a supplement that allows the body to begin converting into a state of nutritional ketosis. Featuring a special blend of ingredients, Keto Buzz is a safe and simple way to achieve ketosis without the negative side effects of a typical ketogenic diet.
Keto Buzz is extremely easy to use and you can experience fast weight loss results with it.

RIAI AGM | S.I. 9 Conflict or Resolution?
by Bregs Blog admin team
Posted by Bregs Blog on 7th October 2014
RIAI AGM | S.I. 9 Conflict or Resolution?
The BRegs Blog Admin. Team has given considerable thought and consulted widely on how best to report on the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) Annual General Meeting (AGM) that took place on 29th September 2014.
The consensus view would appear to be for the BReg Blog to try and strike a balance between allowing the RIAI to debate the financial and corporate governance issues with its members behind closed doors in the relative privacy of its AGM and that the BRegs Blog should only post on the matters discussed that relate directly to S.I. 9 and that are of legitimate interest to our readers. Matters relating to annual accounts discussed at representative bodies general meetings are considered a private membership matter and may not appropriate for general release*. In addition, 'in-house' professional membership issues are of limited interest to our broader Bregs Blog readership.
These latter items that were discussed at the AGM included:
1. The question of whether the RIAI was a representative body of its architect members or a regulatory body acting on behalf of the government was discussed in the context of how this had impacted on recent meetings between the RIAI CEO and President with the Department of the Environment in relation to S.I. 9. The issue remains to be clarified further by the RIAI President.
2. It was mentioned during the AGM that a review of S.I. 9 draft documentation issued by the RIAI earlier this year in July had taken place. This was conducted by a group that included Barrett Chapman of McCann Fitzgerald Solicitors. The review was submitted to the RIAI Council about three months ago but has not been approved for issue to RIAI members. The current status of this review was not disclosed and the Breg Blog are not aware of when the release of details of this detailed review is planned.
3. A great deal of discussion and confusion arose during the AGM with regard to the general perception that architects were professionally obliged to undertake the role of Design Certifier under S.I.9 and whether or not an architect should only be obliged to act as an ancillary certifier. The assumption that the role of Design Certifier must be undertaken by the architect on any project was challenged which clearly called into question previously issued guidance and information delivered at CPD sessions. It is hoped that clarification will be provided soon on this matter as it is already impacting on the awarding of public contracts.
The BRegs Blog recommends that RIAI members should contact the RIAI Honorary Secretary for a copy of the AGM minutes in relation to matters not commented on above.
*There is no suggestion being made of any impropriety on the part of any party referred to above. The conflict in a conflict of interest exists whether or not a particular individual is actually influenced by the secondary interest. Unconscious bias is of course a real thing, which is why any serious medical trial is always double blind. Even if individuals or groups are immune to unconscious bias the fact that relations have a commercial interest in the operation of S.I. 9 could be perceived as a conflict of interest and is being noted to contextualise the commentary (definition:Conflict of interest – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). The above statements do not purport to adjudicate or make comment on any proceedings discussed, rather they are intended as a brief record of conversations and items discussed. All statements made without prejudice.
