Aloe plant gives hope to breast cancer treatment
Kenyan researchers recently published a manuscript in the journal Molecules analyzing multiple chemical constituents from the roots of Aloe for their activity against breast cancer cells. Of those chemical constituents, two resulted in strong activity against specific breast cancer cells. This study may confirm Aloe's traditional medicinal use of cytotoxicity and serve as a foundation for future medical innovations and research in breast cancer treatment. How do you think these findings will influence the oncology industry and future innovations for the treatment of breast cancer? What do you typically use Aloe roots and leaves for in your patients?

Coffee prevents early events in tamoxifen-treated breast cancer patients and modulates hormone receptor status
A Swedish study published in the journal Cancer Causes and Control suggested that the risk of breast cancer recurring in 600 patients taking tamoxifen was reduced with coffee consumption. Researchers evaluated hormone receptor status and also found modifications related to coffee consumption. What are your thoughts about this study – would the results encourage you to recommend coffee consumption to your breast cancer patients?
For additional information please refer to Cancer Causes and Control.
Carotenoids may reduce the risk of breast cancer.
A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute has shown that carotenoids may reduce the risk of breast cancer. Carotenoids are micronutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Data was pooled from 8 cohort studies that measured the level of carotenoids in the blood of over 3,000 women with breast cancer and nearly 4,000 women without breast cancer. Women with the highest levels of carotenoids had a lower risk of breast cancer, especially estrogen receptor negative (ER-) breast cancer which usually has a poorer prognosis. What are your favorite dietary sources of carotenoids to recommend to the patients?

Meditation and Art Therapy may reduce stress and anxiety in breast cancer patients.
A study published in the journal Stress and Health has shown that meditation and art therapy may reduce stress and anxiety in breast cancer patients. Eighteen participants were assigned to an education course or Mindfulness-based Art Therapy (MBAT) consisting of mindful yoga, awareness of breathing, awareness of emotion, and expressive art for 8 weeks. The patients enrolled in this study had been diagnosed with breast cancer 6 months- 3 years before the study and were not in active treatment. Participants completed a 90 item symptom checklist at the beginning and end of the study and underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine changes in cerebral blood flow. Patients in the MBAT group had cerebral blood flow changes in the left insula, amygdala, and hippocampus which deal with emotions and stress and experienced less stress and anxiety. How often do you recommend Mindfulness-based Art Therapy? What other recommendations do you make to your patients to decrease stress?
For more information, please read the article in Stress and Health.

Is there a connection between working at night and developing breast cancer?
A research published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine looked at women who work more than two night shifts per week over several years. The participants appear to have a forty percent higher risk of developing breast cancer. The risk increases fifty percent in women who worked at least three night shifts a week for minimum of six years. A possible explanation is a disruption in the melatonin production, a hormone that protects against cancer. What recommendations do you make to your patients on how to improve their sleep and circadian rhythm?

Bring out the GLITTER.
Could Stravinsky's EXPLOSIVE
simply can't fathom the layers of
i actually have synesthesia - letters are associated with colors, pain has different colors as well.
Very inspiring, associating colors with music, tasting, all of our senses working together as we create and live in this beautiful world.
And..... besides the aqua coat in your previous post, may I have this yellow one too? sigh....
Such beauty.
Love you!
~ Violet
Such GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS pictures of colors!! Wow!
Bravo! You continually amaze me with your creative mind. Absolutely adore this post, Anita. ~ Sarah
Dear Anita,
What a wonderful inspiring post and yes, colours do conjure up all sorts of sensations in our lives.
I would love to dance away in the beautiful turquoise gown.
I love the glitter and the rock candy, I want to take a bite.
Hope that you have a wonderful weekend
This is soooo inspiring Anita!
I am overwhelmed by this post!
I love all your amazing insights to the mind, heart and soul of art ~ the way God made our brains ~ our senses and the breath of His Spirit in it all~
Thank you for taking the time to inspire us and to teach us in vivid colors of your own!
Have a Fourth of July filled with JOY
I am painting...the quiet, gentle, fragil, delicate and faded beauty I seek and feel in my soul. I'm letting it flow out of me onto the paper through the water, paint, and brush. And it is satisfying. You always inspire me dearest. ox
When imagining the beautiful baritone sounds of the cello, I pictured a brown leather sofa..I LOVED this post, as much as any you have ever written..so thought provoking, and imaginative!!! you are magnificent my dear friend! XOXO Much Love, Christel..tehee wasn't Rattus' post hilarious?..loved it too!
I am a teacher. Every morning I would greet my fourth graders at the door. They would know it was time to start lessons when this song would come on...it touches a very special spot in my soul. Thank you for choosing it to accompany your art. Blessings.
Anita Dear!
Oh my goodness, what insight, beauty, and inspiration! I await your weekly masterpieces with great anticipation, and this one is just thrilling. I am inspired to listen, to HEAR, and express...thank you for infusing my life with such joy!
Amazing images and words, they way you put it all together is truly breathtaking.
Anita! Hi...it's me. I have finally just come up for air, only to find that I have missed at least one of your blog posts. Life just gets way too busy.
This is a wonderful combination of text and photos, as usual. You know I have never really stopped to think about the association between colours and thoughts. Music...yes. But colours....hmmm now you have got me thinking.
Sorry to have been a bit absent lately. It's just that sometimes I feel like shouting, "Stop the world! I want to get off!" (at least for a little while anyway)and need to catch my breath.
Love to you,
ps...I love that tablecloth in your header.
Merci de me faire voir la vie en technicolor !
Très beau week-end chère Anita.
Gros bisous
Beautiful post! As I was reading, I nodded in agreement to everything you wrote. Only a few moments ago, I was writing ideas for sketches I plan to draw this weekend.
It was a terribly hot day here as well. I spent the day running errands, dealing with my car issues and then took the kids and a friend to a theme park once it cooled off a bit this evening... now I hope to draw a bit.
Wishing you a lovely 4th of July weekend! xoxo, B
I forgot to mention that Caron is only sold in their boutiques. If you speak to Diane at the NYC store, she is lovely and sends out samples. You can tell her that I referred you. You can visit their website.. the goose down puffs are my favourite and they come in a rainbow of colours!! xoxo, B
What an absolutely beautiful way to start a Saturday morning in the summer!!
You've done it again Anita... done it again!
Blessings dear lady!
Wow, I'm SYNESTHESIATING like crazy right now! Totally inspiring from a genius mind.
I am blown away by your inspirational post Anita.
Bless YOU!
yep, I am back.. I LOVE this post.. So full of inspiration and beautiful images..
Yes, la couleur de vos rêves cher ami. This is what I shall do with the help of Bebe.
Merci cher ami for just being you!
Bonne nuit

Fabulous inspiration today Anita...
Got to love someone who can embrace and love colour!! I know it makes my life fuller and I'd be lost without it ... lately i'm 'hearing' pink.. but your post has me smelling sherbet of the aqua and lemon!! fabulous.. almost as good as eating it!!
Have a lovely weekend and lovely 4th July celebration.. ciao xxx Julie
sweetpie how lovely and what delightful images .I love to swim in colour and let itcompletely enfold me as in my boudoir and my sitting room . In clothes i tend to wear one main colour and be wrapped up in it and for years at the hospital the watchword was THINK PINK. thankyou for such a lovely staurday morning adventure lots of Love Fay xxx
Dear Anita,
Beautiful and inspiring post as always but I think this time was special because I love this song and paint is one of my favourites activities. I have much more synesthesia within feellings and tastes (sometimes sounds too) and not so much with smells but for me, colours are everything!
Thank you so much for your post. Have a very special weekend!
I wanted to write you a quote about colours EN FRANCAIS .....
Have been looking and searching on the internet ...getting more and more grrrrrrrrrrrr.... Absolutely NOT what your beautiful post today brought me ...JOY HAPPINESS PEACE
So ...NO beautiful words in french . Must go search for my schooldictionaries ....
The sun is shining and I am having a wonderful time making the SURPRISE-giveaway-box .... So much fun to surprise some-one on 07-07-2011. happy weekend for you !
WOW..NITA..I LOVE THIS POST...xoxo
So perfectly said and shown. Debussy was inspired by Turner (but then who wasn't?) and you can feel it in his music. Sometimes the strongest inspiration comes from outside the box... colors and tastes, scent and sound... they all feed us. I've been reading that everything that comes into the brain gets translated so that we own it –– sort of write it into a movie we can understand... without that, perception is a chaotic jumble. So in a way we do make our own world... might as well make it a glorious one!!!
i can not tell you how much my music effects the colors and feelings in my paintings, decor, photography, clothing, food, etc.... whether it is the tunes i am listening to, or the sweet birds singing outside my window it is all intwined. the color is the music and the music is the color. and i would be lost with out them......
such a beautiful post, anita and i must say, that quote at the beginning really resonates with me.....as i am a survivor.
happy weekend to you, my dear.
Dear Anita
Your writing is poetic, colorful and inspiring. I positively love this post because I too feel like an adult-child survivor who is trying to create something meaningful with sights and sounds, smells and touch, memories and reflection.
You put this so well.
My granddaughter, Olivia and I spend a lot of time painting with watercolors. I think I enjoy it even more than she does! "And I think to myself, what a wonderful world~oh yeah!" Beautiful and inspiring post, my friend!
i absolutely loved your post. You have given me all the colors of the rainbow - in feelings - if that makes any sense?!? Thanks,
Nita, what would have been of us if God made the world black and white, I often ask my self? I am (((SO))) happy that HE didn't and it is because HE is the Greatest artist of all!
So very lovely post!!!*grin*
Good Morning Anita Sweetie...
What a gorgeous share this morning. I love seeing the color. I believe your color is teal. How pretty it is.
I love painting my brownie, have wonderful, I had no idea I could do that.
Now you know that red is my color. I feel it in everything that I do on a daily basis. I even painted the dining room wall, yes 1 of them I did for accent, and wish I had done so sooner, it is SO me. Love it.
Thank you for allowing me to stretch, taste, and see my color within. I had such a wonderful visit sweet one. I hope that you and Ruben have a wonderful 4th of July weekend planned. I know whatever you will be doing, you will be sharing fireworks somewhere. Many hugs and much love from Phoenix sweetie, Love, Sherry

I not only think in purple, pink, red and turquoise, but I dream in colors too! Love this post. My friend is actually a friend with the girl who did the rainbow cake. I am going to have to do one of those sometime.
Wish I had ever been that flexible - didn't come in my genes!
The rhinestones on the cake were actually rhinestones, non-edible, so they removed them before serving!

JOKE gosh it got to you quickly they are in the service so waiting for next coverage sorry they are such bad images but here dress looks so elegant but i hope she smiles soon ! RENE Flemming is my favourite feamle ioera singer she shEAVENLY mmmm apresto fay xx
What an amazing post! I love all the pictures--the yellow coat!--and what's better than a brand-new box of Crayola crayons with lovely sharp points!
Your theme reminded me of a song by Chris Rice, "Smell the Color 9":
Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can count up pretty high;
but these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky,
but my heart of faith keeps poundin' so I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin you is just like tryin to smell the color nine.
Smell the color nine...
Oh, and clicking on your blog to be greeted by "What a Wonderful World"? Sheer heaven.
Cindy @Notes in the Key of Life
this was the most amazing post i read for today...it makes me smile, it brings tears...i love it
thank you for bringing this joy!
Cool post, Anita! I have synesthesia; mine is the most common type with numbers, letters, and days of the week having specific colors. Its been the same since i can remember. I also get a rather odd manifestation where inanimate objects take on personalities. I talked about this with a synesthesia researcher and he says this happens, i'm not nuts!
Dearest, now, that's a post for me - for you know how much i love color! Such amazing pix again Anita, and so much work and care you've pu into this. I admire Twyla Sharp, and - OMG, that yellow coat is so gorgeous!!! Let's color our lives beautiful! xoxooxox
Colour can bring such happiness..aqua brings a calming to me, and lime always speaks of summer.
Beautiful post and images adorable!!!
Happy weekend my darling friend xoxoxo
Deborah xoxo
This is just what I needed! I so as I leave this comment....I'm getting out my "Watercolors" !!!
Much love and happy 4th!!
Hi Anita, I always like to visit your blog. Love all the colors in this post. My eyes were drawn to aqua even though my favorite color is pink! I just posted my new paintings, been busy being creative... so fun! Check them out when you get a chance!
Thanks for the sweet comments and have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
Gorgeous! I just found your blog from over at Carolyn's (Little Bear Studio), and I love it. 'Will look around more later. :)
Hello Anita,
I absolutely loved this post! It's so colorful and unique. I like everything about it - in fact, I wanted to tell you that we put your pretty blog on the side bar on our blog so everyone can get a chance to see all the creativity you have to offer. Me and my daughters always try to see the beauty in the world, and you my friend, are beatiful.
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
I am totally stunned by the beautiful photographs; your colour schemes and subject matter are AmAzInG! This is the first time I have visited your blog and I have promptly added you to my blog list.
Wikipedia has a 'List of people with synesthesia'. It is fascinating. I didn't know, for example, that Tori Amos has it and she describes chord progression as the best kaleidoscope ever.
How I love that song of Louis Armstrong,it fits well in this post! It gives me goose bumps when I read your post and hear this music. Every time I ame in awe how you can make a post with lots of magic and glitter!!! You are a master in MAGIC !!!
Anita, sweet, this post is my favorite from all yours! Be sure! I DO relate colors to moments, people, objects, flavors, drinks,...I DO! My day by day is all colored by me, I know it!! How amazing intelligence you have, you come out with the best always!!!! Love Love it!!!
My day today, by the way, is gray.
Love you!!
One of my most
favorite of your
posts, ever, Anita!
And I think "painting"
can be a metaphor for
whatever creative
endeavor speaks to one's
soul. I love this
song, too!! Thank you
for all if. You are
such a gift, my friend.
Happy Fourth of July : )
xx Suzanne
Oh sweet Anita......You have just given me a RAINBOW!!!
Thanks for this....happy 4th to you and Reuben,
Yes, dear Anita, we are living in autumn around here. Gray, our autumn ranges between gray and brown. We live in a very very humid city and autumn always comes carrying Miss Rain in his suitcase...so that the temperature gets a little colder than usual. Yet, our city is in a valley, what makes humidity more present.
We woke up today listening to the rain drops knocking on the lots of glass panes we have in our house. Our home is always clear and bright, we love it!
Well, I am occupying my mind with Aila´s birthday party which will happen in August. She is turning 3 on Aug 23rd but her party will happen on Aug 13th. She wants a Little Red Riding Hood party. I am trying hard to prepare a nice party for her.
Well, I must say, dear Anita, it is so hard to find time to sew, to take care of our home, to be mommy, wife, take part of the production of a magazine,.....affff.....:o)))
But I must say, as well, I am HUGE happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aila is asking me to prepare her morning fruit...here I go!!
Love writing to you, sweet!
Anita, everything brings to mind a chocolate brownie for me, much to my dismay... hee hee. I love your inspiring posts and I always try to run over here on the weekends because I know you post then. Fifty students? Whoa! Two of my own kids were enough. I think, (no I KNOW), if I had 50 students I would excuse myself to go to the "ladies room," but would really run to the parking lot and peel out of there like the wind! God bless you for being that special person that can inspire kids. xo
Dear Color Dreamer,
Now! Imagine that! When you take out the color crayon box and start to dream in color I'm right there with you! You color my world so happy! I picked the teal crayon and I was so happy your images started to come to life before me and you stayed within the lines! Wink, wink and blink, blink!
My favorite picture is that cake! Ha! You take the cake! Speaking of taking the cake, you might want to hear what I have to say about my Natural Bent in life. Go to Auntie Jacquelines blog and hear me give a little rant that leads to forgiveness.
I needed some color in my world this morning. Last week I joined a prayer team and all hell started to break loose! It was a horrible week with several huge events happening.
Pass the spoon please and I'll eat the cake. I want to be the dish that ran away with the spoon this morning. Good thing is, the week is behind me. NEXT!
What a wonderful world indeed Anita. Mr. Louis Armstrong sings this song with such heart. LOVE IT.
My box of crayons is getting more vibrant every day.
Mom is progressing nicely, but still hard on her little body, the sun is shining, it's a beautiful summer day with lot's of humidity : )
We had a lovely July 1st celebration with my mom being here (*that was a challenge) and my sister and BIL.
It is a wonderful world right now.
LOVE this post my dear friend. YOU ALWAYS MAKE MY DAY BRIGHTER.
I love you
Ma plus chere amie, here I come scrolling dow feeling all inspired after gasping at your gorgeous pictures and soaking in your well chosen words.
I must float into blog land more often, have been away from my laptop a lot lately as I do not find the patience to get inspired and lift up by looking at a couple of my favorite blogs. Well, how stupid is that? It felt good typing these words here in your incredibly lovely little corner so now I can act to them.
How was your walk sur la mer? Hmm, I believe I just typed on the sea. Did you have a memorable morning the other day, Anita? Sending hugs for a lovely Sunday too o xx o xx o
Colors, sounds, smells and beautiful images .... a wonderful inspiration across our senses. Thank you for this stimulant post thats illuminates my sunday
I hope you are spending a wonderful weekend.
Hello lovely Anita,
Thank you for your visit it is always a plessure when you visit me!
Thursday was my last school day :)) Do the happy dance ;))
But I've been busy my husband was in the hospital for one week with a nasty infection on his legs. He is still at home and he must take antibiotics for the infection.
Now it's my turn to take care of him.
I've finished a new fairy, I hope by the end of the week to make pictures of her so I can put these one on my blog. I think you will like her :)And I started a new one!!!
Thank you for asking I feel back to normal I'm been reborn :))
Anita, this post is beautiful, it reaches deep into ones soul.
How is your life canvas coming along?? I can't wait to see the life you colored into that beautiful room you added into your life of color.
I have been living with a life of color not noticed by most, it goes un-noticed unless it is brought up, lighter shades of pale moves me these day into a place of peace.
Have a beautiful 4th Red, White, and Blue colored day!
Anita, so good to hear that weather over at your place shows a friendly face now! Here, it was not so warm but nice enough to have tea outside, which we did, with a lovely friend who came along with homebaked cake! I intended to do much more, but didn't really - maybe my body thought it's time to relax! Am dwelling in your images once more - rocj candy sounds intersting ;) Bonne nuit! xx
Oh Anita I am seeing all sorts of colours now...An absolutely magical post...and I think I will now be seeing colour all day...Wishing you a colourful week...Dzintra
A beautiful post Anita. Color, a favorite topic. Wishing you a happy 4th of July weekend.
Chere Amie,
A quick Salut, and a big Merci for visiting Mme. Sand! I began reading her works in college as well, and I've been smitten ever since. Her writing takes me to the most beautiful, romantic realm. She was such a trailblazer, marched to her own drummer, and strongly believed in social justice. Thank you again!
Just had to come back for some COLOR and to hear Louis sing!
Absolutely delightful!
Did you have a fun day today?!?
~ Violet
Dear Anita, I just had to come again and read this post. I really love it, and wanted to reply to your message. Yes, I did have my surgery, and the implant is doing well, My eyesight is still improving daily, and I am beginning to sculpt again. Thank you so much for your message, and this thought provoking post! XOXOX Christel
Every time I visit your blog I am lost in a sea of beauty. Thank you for that. It keeps me coming back~
I'm late in commenting, but we've been traveling, and I always save your blog posts to savor on my big screen computer. The color of your photos this time are absolutely inspiring--thanks for spreading rainbow joy through all you do.
Today I'm coloring red, white and blue--Happy Fourth of July to you...
Thanks for stopping by... it seems we were neighbors at one time. I grew up in Topsfield, MA!!!
Wishing you a happy 4th. Any plans?
I will go to visit my mom and then make a potato salad to go with hot dogs and burgers for whoever shows up. My youngest daughter had her annual Independence Day party on Saturday. But it is warm and we have a pool so I expect some of my kids will come by. Low key. Relaxing...
May your day be delightful, dear one!
Morning joys to you my sweet friend....and happy July 4th!! What big plans do you have today? A parade...fireworks?
It is our packing day...not house stuff but holiday stuff...we are off to California soon.
Please forgive me if I do not visit for the next week or so....will catch up when I return. I have a few automatic posts that will go up so you can still visit me.
Extra Hugs of love to you for the next few weeks. xoxoxoox
The dreamcasttle has arrived safely
Amazing beautiful Anita .
I am loving it so so much !
All the best for you
Such a magnificent, inspiring post. I'll carry it with me all day.
THANK YOU for coming to visit Bebe in Belgium. You always leave me with such happiness in my heart with your kind thoughts.. So you like the music?
Enjoy your day dear one
Gosh, how I LOVE this post!
Toutes ces photos et ces couleurs sont sublimes, les gourmandises bien tententes, puis quand je vois ces jolies filles en talons aiguilles et juppes serrées, je me dis que c'est bien frustrant, de toujours faire attention à sa ligne lol.
Bises, bonne soirée.
Anita, thank you for your kind words today - i'm so glad you feel inspired by my post and by Beatrix! Yes, so great to learn from other artists and have a look at the way they do things! New fuel for inspiration is so needed sometimes. Hope you have much fun writing and drawing these days - am sure you do - and think of you! xoxoxox
Wow this might be my favorite post of yours yet. I love the quote how God giving us a coloring book and the crayons and its up to us what we do with it, how much of a masterpiece we want to create (or not) Mine is a "work in progress" but believe me I am still coloring fast and furious! Since I am a kid at heart, I see the world in a wide range of gorgeous soft pastels.......all beautiful!
Thanks Anita, this was fabulous!!!
Happy July 4th-
Yes! Dear Anita,
I can see it . . . beautiful post as always my sister.
Hi Anita; There are only a handful of 'things' that I can't see living without, and some of those being, color, music and imagination. You had me with color with each carefully chosen photo and then my imagination took off from there! Your blog is always like a vacation from reality and I appreciate it so and you.
I hope your 4th was just as colorful, happy and special?
Lots of love to you and Ruben,
xx Deb
These pictures and the challenge of your words are more of the very special magic that god has gifted you with my friend. He has given you the ability to inspire and make people dream. What a gift! I am completely enthralled one more time. I keep wondering how you can possibly top this one. Then I remember that your gift is from God, and He is never going to run out of ideas to fill your heart and your pen... :)
When I was going thru my illness, it's amazing how color affects you. I avoided red at all costs!
How are you? How are you and Ruben spending your summer?
Happy 4th dear Anita,
xoxoxo, Bonnie
Here is the source for the rainbow cake. She is a friend of a friend and was picked up by Martha Stewart because of this photo.
Yes, dear lady, you have created a piece of Godly inspiration with this post! I love the way you take a truth and illustrate so perfectly, and wrap it all up with the loveliest words. You are certainly gifted from above, and are so sweet and generous to share your gift with us! As a former art teacher, all of this resonates with me so strongly. I shall come back to this post again...and again.
Happy...5th of July?
XO Dawne
What an inspiring page, will be back to visit again.
Hello dear Anita! And happy 4th of July (or what is left of it now!). Once again your post speaks to me so much! This has so much inspiration in it, I'm still soaking it all in. I love the idea of music, or really anything around us, evoking a different representation in each of us, whether it is color or glitter or whatever it may be!
I spent a lot of the weekend painting. I'm really trying to exercise my creative muscles! Whenever I paint, I listen to music and sometimes I paint whatever the music inspires me to paint. Other times, I already have an idea, but music helps a creative environment I believe.
How was your weekend? Have you been watercoloring more at all? I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend! I just got back from watching fireworks at the lake. I feel so exhausted...it's time for bed! But first, one more look at this post! Love it!
xoxo, Shawna
Bonjour Mon Ami Anita! Beautiful inspiring photos as always ... but the message within this post reached out and touched me... the brain is a marvelous thing, they way it brings memories by association, the way it helps increase one sense if another is not working to its full potential. And the way it resets and restructures functionality of messages it sends.
Wishing you a wonderful week !!xo HHL
We are off my sweet friend....joy x100...I will be thinking of you!
Happy day. xoxo
My goodness, dearest!! This very idea needed to be acknowledged!! As I was painting my hutch this weekend...I remembered each time I had painted it over the years...when I was expecting Cale in 1986, it was milk paint in a country shade of blue...country music by the judds was a favorite at the time...in the early 90's I was listening to Vivaldi's four seasons and painting it a wonderful shade of blue green, for it was spring! I could hear the color of that music! But I had never thought to acknowledge that sensory revelation!! You my dear, are brilliant, beyond comprehension...do you know this??? And how wonderful that Ruben is enchanted with you and your writing, at such a deep level!!
I painted the hutch out on the screened porch..as the sun was setting...thus, the peachy pink hue for the inner part of the cabinet...the lightening bugs flickering and the mourning doves singing...pure white on the outer edges of the hutch as I finished under the light of the moon and the porch lights...
Creative souls notice these things...don't we??
Thank you for sharing such an enlightening moment with us, my dearest friend.
I have missed you over these hectic days of holidays and company and family visits and antiquing and nesting;))
I will look forward to some chatting, dearest!
Pizza delivering squrrels in deed lol!! The Cheek of it bol!!!
Sorry I got side tracked, I'm sooo behind this week all I can see is my tail!!!
Did you know that us dogs can only see blue and yellow, thats what the internet says, I don't know any different! but my smell is very good.
This is a very intresting post with beautiful photos, if only you could get smells though the laptop. As for music and colour mom says she see's red when dad plays for to long, thats a colour I cannot see :(
Her face go's a funny shade of brown sometimes lol!!!
I must go, I'm getting behind again!!
Love and hugs to you all and a Happy belated 4th of July.
Have a good week
See Yea George xxx
You are soooooo sweet!
Thank you for visiting Bebe this morning..
Have a wonderful day dear friend!
It's so nice to meet you......As I have visited your blog I feel as though I have fallen into that special dream state of total beauty and inspiration......What a gift you have been given to be able to marry your pictures and words so beautifully.........
Gorgeous blog....
Dearest Anita,
Lovely photos that speak alone a story and your poetic thoughts made for a nice escape.
Congrats on having YOUR photo on the Belle Inspiration, July/August issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of love,
Lovely post. Color is such a powerful thing. I saw a show years ago on people who had synesthesia. It is quite interesting...they must be the few that are using more than the small amount of brain power that the norm uses.
Hope you have a lovely week!
Ahhh! Anita
I love coming here to your blog...you inspire me to finish a couple of my novels I have in the rough draft form. Life is busy all of the time, there will always be interruptions, but in between the interruptions there is a space we need to make for ourselves to be creative. The color aqua is such a provocative color...it sends sensations of me flying through the air on the wind. I have flying dreams at times and it is such bliss!
Thank you for freeing my mind, and soul today to progress to upper levels of fantasy thinking, because that is where my mind needs to be when I write.
Sweet dreams my dear lady,
Teresa in California
Wow! Wow! Wow! You are a genius Anita. Your posts marvel me no end!! The flow of words and the supplementary pics just like music and colors! Soothing to mind and soul... Always go from here learning something.
Have a fabulous week ahead friend:)
You are a true Fairy Anita ......
scattering so many kind words all around the world . their echoes ARE TRULY endless ...just as mother Theresa told us.
My friend Leontien has a second house ....in France . She is there now and we email each day . She is replacing cabinets , painting doors and hanging shelfs ...all by herself . I am busy finishing my Surprise-give-away ...tomorrow I will know where to send it .
fingers crossed !
Beautiful thoughts and ideas, Anita, as always. Your colors and photos are a delight. Whether sight, smell or taste, color is such an important part of our lives. And yes, music has color. Music is my joy. I can tell it's yours as well.
Hope you had a lovely holiday!
Another inspiring post from you...
I can just imagine how your mind and heart is overflowing with sweet inspirations and lovely thoughts that you just can't help but share with us... Thanks for being such a generous soul through your blog you inspire us so much ♥
I love it when a certain scent brings on a visual memory of some past pleasure or event. How marvelous that our senses are so intertwined. I must confess, that the chocolate in the photos definitely brings a secondary sense into play! Yummmm!!
WOW, that Twila certainly inspires one to stay fit!!
Anita, And now I am 101! I have been so busy with art shows, shuffling between finishing up the new book AND a few art projects, that I haven't had a minute to do a post or visit any blogs. Not to mention, my laptop crashed , so I am on husbands computer. It is going to be a long busy summer, my garden needs weeding and the critters have run amuck! WHEW! I wish there were two of me right now, just to keep up the slack.
I hope you are enjoying time out of school in your garden and with your pencils and paints!
Hello sweetie,
A king in the genes, I knew there was something regal about you!
What's a tag, whatever it is I don't think I have one?
Have a cheerful day!
Ahhhh... the colors of my mind are serine blue and crisp white, a little yellow mixed in with chocolate , wine, , those are the colors I hear. :)
Dear Anita,
Hope that you are having a lovely holiday, dear friend and doing all the things you love.
Oh wouldn't that be neat to be able to be like Twyla Tharp at 70 - amazing!
Have fun painting, writing and relaxing
Today I am picking the cinnamon red hot crayon and I'm going to color outside the lines until my spirit settles down and I can forgive! A little spice in life is good to get out of your system!
I will email you tomorrow, I may even send you a letter, better yet!!!
Love you, have a snuggle down evening with that super hero of yours.
WOW...look at your girl and all you over 100 comments.
Look at all the people whose lives your brighten...YELLOW.
Yellow is one of my favorite!! colors.
It reminds me of warmth, happy, the wild flowers Buffaloe Beans that grow iin the country, surprises.........
I love All the colors actually, as each one in and of itself evokes a different feeling and memory.
I mean, where would a rainbow be WITHOUT all the colors....colors combined make for beauty.
Kinda like people....we don't have to all BE the same, THINK the same, BELIEVE the same....but if we allow all OUR colors to blend, what a glorious world that would be.
Think on THAT beauty.
In regards to the death of my son (which consumes a lot of my thoughts these days) I still see some gray and dark shadows...but, once my heart opens a little more, the light will be so bright!!!, it will be HARD to discern what THAT color is exactly.
I'll work toward, and wait for that.
ha ha...how stupid, that first sentence, I had the YOU and YOUR words backwards.
what color is stupid??
Anita sweet, your post just thrill me to pieces!!! I feel as though I could achieve anything after reading them. You really are an inspiration to so many of us dearest!!! You bless me and I am thankful.
snding hugs from here...
Gorgeous, beautiful, your writing flows lavender. I'm on a Painting Through My Life kick-- more than a kick, I hope. There is nothing like creating what you feel and see.
{Love} the quote at the top of the blog, too!
I draw ,color or paint almost every day ever since all my kids have left the house.Last one left six years ago.It makes me so happy. Dusty lavender makes me swoon,Teal next,together they make me rejoice.

A fascinating post. i remember reading a book many years ago about a woodworker with synesthesia, (though i cant remember its name!) it intrigues me the different way in which the world is experienced. My mr o, as a musician "hears" the world, as an artist i "see" first and foremost. Stunning images too.
Hi sweetie,
How are you? I wanted to drop by and say hello!! Wonderful colorful post!Yes it is up to us to color our days with the most beautiful colors!
Oh Anita, you are sooooo funny :)))) - you don´t need an extra-blog for your pictures, they will be soooooo beautiful.....i´m looking forward to see them!!!!
Hugs Jade
Hi sweet Anita, how's your day today? Here, it looks like rain, damp, warm and cloudy. Reading your post again, i remmeber that my sons piano teacher sees notes as colors - interesting! And my hubby, as a child, saw numbers as colors.Enjoy your time! xx
Reading what Martina wrote suddenly made me remember ....
There are people who see colours for the days . For example thursday is always green and that's very normal for them.

What a fun post!!! I will never be able to hear the cello again without thinking of chocolate and getting hungry:).
Oh Dearest,
I am rather LATE to the PARTY...but...huff...puff...I am HERE at last. Oh and a party for the senses it truly is. I can't begin to tell you how many times I will "marry" the scense. You are quite brilliant...ah, but we knew that :)
Oh to be able to get together with other kindreds, just to sit around and take in the wonderful girl talk around the table.
And a link to do a virtual tour of YOUR gorgeous castle...I CAN NOT WAIT. Your snappies WILL be just perfect.
OH MY THIS COMMENT HAS TAKEN ALMOST THREE HOUR TO COMPLETE. Our sweet pup just took an emergency trip to the vet. So after 1 exray, 1 abdominal exam, 1 shot of pain medication, 1 blood test...we now know that she was stung by a bee...OH MY!!!!! that was a costly trip. But all is well now and we are home again.
And you are painting, with none other that white and gray...oh be still my heart...ahhhh. It will be so beautiful to be sure.
YES THAT QUOTE IS A GIFT IN IT SELF. It is so important to remember that not only do we have to be able to recognize the task He has provided, BUT HAVE THE COURAGE TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY...no matter how frightened and intimidated we are.
Off to supper. HAVE A GREAT EVENING...and I'll see you in the morning...Rosie
Just popping by to say hello!! I am so glad to hear that you had a great 4th of July! It is kind of hard to believe a weekend is already upon us again!
Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? I am helping put together a baby shower and a friend is visiting from out of town, so it should be a nice one.
How is your writing coming along? I would love to know!
Have a beautiful day, dear Anita!
Hello Anita,
My beautiful castle came today. THANK YOU Sooooooo much. I am totally in love. It will be photographed for my next blog later today.
You are a dream friend!
With Love
I can't find the words to express how much I love your posts .I can't imagine the world without colors.Wishing you a colourful day.
Love , Sylvia
Inspiring...I wonder what my color will be..?..I will do this *test* I do think pink most of the times..without any music //Marie
Oh dearest friend,
You Do know what makes my heart go pitter patter...Ahhh...outside in the garden with a pencil in hand. GOD'S GLORIOUS ARTWORK ALL AROUND, TO INSPIRE.Yes this is what DREAMY summer days are made of...In August I have a cabin booked for a week...THEN I will put a pencil between my fingers and let my imagination soar.
Today I picked up a couple of new wholesalers, so was pleased with that. Tomorrow I MUST clean, shine and spread a wee bit of white paint...a good day it will be.
Well, I am going to TRY to get a NEW post up tonight, so will bid you a fine evening and a glorious garden day...farewell sweetness...R
Anita we are blogging sisters are we not? You know I was out and about the other day and in a stressful situation and what helped me to calm down was I popped on to some of your blogs on my Blackberry and immediately knew all would be okay. I can hardly see a thing on my blackberry but to see your lovely images made me remember all was beautiful in the world. How truly thankful I am that you are here and my friend! ox Kerrie
I am so balanced by colors - no oranges or yellows for me - I can smile at daffodils or poppies, sunsets but blues or greens....love, soothe me, passion, peace. Jenn
Such an interesting concept! Synesthesia is also what some are saying we most need in our evolutionary jump time right now. Great idea to make it an artistic exercise! How I do enjoy these photos.
Interesting, as not many people know what synesthesia is. I have it, but not with colors. Numbers and letter have hierarchical relationships. I know. Odd. Always been that way for me, don't know it it came about, which is one of synesthesia's characteristics ~ the person has no recall when it developed. Funny. Beautiful post. Have a lovely day ~ Alexandra

Curious where people stand on this one.
I tend to approach things through a business lens, and rarely do I have a lot of time or respect for unions. I believe that they've had their place historically, but that the pendulum swings back and forth and too often they end up causing waste and protecting incompetence.
With that said, I'm full on #TeamCFLPA - I want the clubs to have a deal that keeps them financially viable and believe that owners (private or community based) deserve a return on their investment/operations, but it is the players that are what makes the game great. I have come to appreciate the sacrifices that they make, not only potentially in body and health, but often with time away from family, friends and loved ones. Yes, they're getting paid to play a game, and yes, they're chasing a dream, but looking at guys like Brandyn Thompson, John White IV or Matt Nichols and what they've overcome, rehabbed through and persisted at to play a game that doesn't always love them back, it's easy to develop some empathy for the players.
I'm not saying upset the whole business of the CFL, but I'd like to see gains for the players in the cap - particularly focused towards the minimum salary and the bottom 1/3 of the guys, and gains in taking care of their health, both during their career and through the period of any ongoing injuries suffered while playing.

This is my final major projects (FMP) portfolio for the course of Media Production, Television, Print and Radio level 3, Year 2. What my project is about is asking the question, "What do we see through life?" By this I mean what do we see throughout life and forget because we cant capture that moment and keep it forever, unlike a photograph.
The first part of this portfolio will help you understand the person behind this project, myself, and will tell what my experiences are within this course as well as what lead me to do this for my project. After all of this, this part of the portfolio will finish with my research plan.
The Project:
What makes me do the project is the motivation to make people feel a certain way. When I look through photographs of the past, they make me feel all kinds of emotions from happiness to sadness. I believe this is a powerful thing we can experience and should experience it more often. Some of the best feelings you can have is remembering something you totally forgotten, and I want to recapture that in the style of a scrapbook. When planning this project, I wanted it to feel as real and special as I could. I could easily make this person I am creating have the perfect life with no tragedies or sad moments, however I don't want to do that. I want to make this person feel as alive as we are. This is why I plan on making my research count and getting personal with others. I plan on finding out some memories, some happy and some sad, from other people that are comfortable to share some of their fondest memories and recreate them through this persons eyes.
Another personal experience that influenced my choice for this project is the fact I love photography. I believe it is a powerful tool that can capture moments and freeze time. Nothing else can really do that the way a simple photograph can and I do believe that our eyes can be just as powerful. One of the things that I remember leading me into this frame of mind was a simple advert for our eyes and how we should look after them. It had a man just walking through a room, and every time he blinked, a Polaroid photo fell to the floor, as if he captured it with a camera, sending the message that our eyes are cameras and we should protect them. Seeing those pictures fall to the floor was an inspiring message that I still remember to this day. Another thing that is somewhat linked to this is recently when watching camera reviews on YouTube when wanting to purchase my own camera, I stumbled across something. It was a Canon advert about how there are over 7 billion people on Earth and we all see the world differently. During the advert it focuses on what different eyes can see and what you experience which was another inspirational and artist motivator for me.
YouTube. (2017). Canon commercial 2014 eyes. [online] Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2jFzJTw9VY [Accessed 4 May 2017].
Another advert that I saw on television and online which has inspired me is an advert from the "Save the Children" where it follows a single child's life within a year starting from her birthday and the events that occur. It cleverly done by firstly making it look all normal, happy and peaceful then throughout the video it slowly drops hints that the world this person lives in is going horribly wrong until it goes into an all out disaster. It shows the child loose her home, loved ones, health decline and in constant danger, only for her to end up somewhat alone at the end exactly one year onward on her birthday showing the after effects of what she has experienced.
"Most Shocking Second A Day Video". YouTube. N.p., 2017. Web. 11 May 2017.
The goal for me with this project is to possibly help people remember things they may have forgotten while growing up. Time passes fast and we cant remember or capture every moment that was special to us or someone else, while with something like this, we can relate, remember and relive the moments that we saw throughout life. The perfect thing about this project, it is for any given target audience, any gender, race, sexual preference and religion. The one audience member it should target more are the ones who have grown up past the early stages of adulthood, however it can be looked at from any age group too as we never stop capturing moments or forgetting those special moments that we should keep safe.
Who am I?
I am an individual who thrives on being creative and expressing himself. I am not a fan of sitting around doing nothing or doing something that involves sitting around for hours on end typing away on a computer. Doing as such leads me to get frustrated and would much rather be going out and being creative and practical which is something I have been since I remember. Through this I learnt various skills and gain some experiences throughout life from working in the real world to discovering what I want to do in life for a career, as well as understand myself some more such as what are my likes and dislikes. Since this, I have gained a strong passion for the environment and how I love its natural beauty which I wish to preserve and protect. With this passion, I finally after years of questioning myself understood what I wanted to do with my life, and that is see the world, explore and capture as a landscape photographer which I am continuing to pursue. I also have a strong connection with the animal kingdom and their well being; so much so that I took a course at college for a year to study more about animal care.
I believe that I am a kind, caring individual that is respectful of everyone's opinions and beliefs. Someone who makes others feel better about themselves rather than worse off. I do have a few phobias from spiders/bugs, which is ironic due to my love for the animal kingdom, but my main phobia is Thanatophobia, which is the phobia of death. This phobia terrifies me on a common basis, however it also motivates me to make the most of life as it is a one time thing so I do believe you should have fun, don't let there be any chains holding you back (within reason!) and enjoy life to the fullest. This phobia of mine is another reason why I want to travel, to see as much as I can and create even more memories, friendships and explore this large world.
What did I learn on my course?
I went into this two year course having very little knowledge of anything media related. I didn't really know how to record videos, take decent photographs, conduct radio interviews or write creative journalistic pieces. However, now I am approaching my final month of this course I can say that I am comfortable with pretty much all of these mediums. Over the past two years, I have completed many tasks and projects towards the final grades of this course. One of my personal favourites was a group project that we recently completed. It was a one minute video of any genre we liked but it couldn't contain any dialog. As a group of three, we planned out a romance video called Platform 2. We all took different roles; I took the role of acting in the video as well as making my own edited version of it. It went so well that it was a runner up in a county competition at the creative design fest 2017. https://www.creativedesignfest.co.uk/
What is my project about?
This project is going to be an online scrapbook of memories captured by the individuals eyes as if they were cameras. To capture the special moments from the moments of birth till the moments of independence, for this project, that will be the age of adulthood and this individual going off to university. It will follow the same person from start to finish and I am aiming for this to be as realistic as possible. From the innocent, cant do no wrong infants to the troublesome teenage years. It will be a journey and adventure filled with ups and downs so other people that are reading can relate and connect to it from their own personal experiences and background.
My role in this project is to be the designer, photographer and producer.
Why is my project important?
I feel like my project is important because it connects with the reader on a emotional level. Whether that is on a positive or negative note, it is still something that is powerful enough to make someone laugh, smile, cry or hurt. It is also something I am passionate about. I love photography and how it can freeze time which is the perfect message I am trying to send across, to be able to freeze time, freeze those moments and cherish them forever. I am also using this project as an opportunity to try out and test some new camera techniques to get different styles of photographs and see what works and what doesn't work, which I shall evaluate during my post production.
My Research Plan.
Section 1, Interest/Topic/Theme:
I looked into a couple of photographers that have done similar projects in the past. Where they focus on the style of "point of view" photography such as Timur Zhansultanov who had an article written about him and his work. There are also a couple of books that my tutor recommended such as "The Fundamentals of Photography" by Tim Daly which shows different styles and techniques of photography. Finally, I shall look into books and magazines about what children especially do in their daily lives as they grow up in forms of learning and entertainment. (95 words)
Section 2, Why is it important? – Importance:
I want there to be emotion involved in my project, from both the creators point of view to the readers whether it is happiness or sadness. I want to show the ability to capture the moments in life and use them to reflect on our own past and remember the things we have forgotten through this fictional life I will create. I want to also show off the skills I have learnt throughout the course and try out some new things within this project that I hope will add to the project in a whole. (95 words)
Section 3, My research questions:
1/ What is the first thing you remember seeing?
2/ What is your earliest memory?
3/ What memory comes to mind when you think of your childhood?
4/ What memory comes to mind when you think of your teen-hood?
5/ Is there a memory which comes to mind that makes you feel happy?
6/ Is there a memory which comes to mind that makes you feel unhappy?
7/ Are there any mental images from any years of your life that stick out?
These will be sent out to people via an online survey for maximum and clear results. (98 words)
Section 4, Research Design:
The subjects i'm going to research are scrapbook designs to get an idea of how I want my online scrapbook to be laid out. I will be conducting a online survey asking the questions above to get as many memories and results as possible, and finally I will be looking into from various sources on what individuals, especially children growing up, do in their daily lives which I can input into this project. As this project goes along, I will gain more research with the more I try out and experiment with, as well as look into something deeper to get a better result for an image. (107 words)

Mo. House OKs Bill Limiting Use of Foreign Law
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - Missouri lawmakers have endorsed legislation designed to limit the use of international law in state courts.House members approved the bill 99-53 on Tuesday. It needs another vote in the House before moving to the Senate.
Under the legislation, court and arbitration decisions would be void if they're based on a foreign legal code that does not offer the same protections as the Missouri and U.S. constitutions.
Sponsoring House member Paul Curtman, a Republican from Pacific, says a law developed in another country should not be used as a basis to restrict the constitutional rights of people in Missouri. But Democratic critics say the legislation could make it harder for Missouri businesses to enter contracts with firms from other countries.

FOX News Election Coverage
FOXNEWS.COM HOME Giuliani Bobs and Weaves on Gun Control Record
Friday, September 28, 2007
By John R. Lott Jr.
Rudy Giuliani had a monumental task last Friday. Going before the NRA, Giuliani wanted to alleviate gun owners' fears that he would take away their ability to use guns to defend themselves.
Some media suggested an even more lofty goal: "it is possible that the NRA would endorse Giuliani."
Surely Giuliani said many comforting things. He talked about the Second Amendment protecting individual rights. And he now disavows the lawsuits against the gun makers-- something that he himself initiated, but that he says went off course and went in directions with which he disagreed.
For good measure, Giuliani also invoked his time in the Reagan Justice Department a quarter of a century ago and Reagans defense of gun rights as evidence of his own support.
For many, the bottom line is, as the New York Times claimed, "that he opposes new restrictions on gun ownership."
The Boston Globe interpreted Giuliani as pledging "he would punish gun-toting criminals harshly while leaving law-abiding gun owners alone."
But this is the same Giuliani who six years ago supported Federal gun licensing and seven years ago said that 86 to 88 percent of the guns sold in the United States should not be sold because gun makers "would have to know that they are supplying an illegal market."
This is the same person who sued gun makers so that the city could recoup its costs of dealing with crime, that openly broke with the Reagan administration during congressional testimony on a gun control bill.
Some of those present at the NRA meeting were moved by Giulianis comments. Giuliani apparently had at least neutralized their concerns. Yet, a careful reading of Giulianis speech finds it filled with caveats.
Take his answer to a question about gun control:
"My position is the law should be left the way it is now. Given the level of crime in this country, I think the emphasis and the energy should be spent on enforcing the laws that presently exist, and if changes in the law are necessary later, that'll respond to other social conditions.
"I think the single most important thing that the next president has to do is to organize an effort in the Department of Justice and with state and local law enforcement to work in a cooperative way to enforce the laws that presently exist. After we do that, and we see the impact of that, then we can take a look at whether new laws are necessary; they may or may not be. "
"Given the level of crime in this country?" Would his position change if crime increased? It would certainly seem so. Surely Giuliani has frequently claimed that gun control reduces crime. Indeed, he has claimed that most of the reduction in New York Citys crime rate during the 1990s was due to gun control: "the single biggest connection between violent crime and an increase in violent crime is the presence of guns in your society...the more guns you take out of society, the more you are going to reduce murder. The less guns you take out of society, the more it is going to go up."
Giuliani is justifiably proud of New York Citys dramatic reductions in violent crime during the 1990s, but his claim that "the single biggest" factor was taking guns off the street is weak, to say the least. There is no academic research by economists or criminologists that indicates that gun control mattered at all.
There are other more obvious explanations, especially the massive increase in full- time sworn police officers. The number grew from 26,844 in 1990 to 39,779 by 2000, roughly five times faster than in other big cities. New York City also improved its police department by raising hiring standards and increasing officer pay, What about Giulianis statement, "After we do that . . . we can take a look at whether new laws?" The only restriction that this implies is that the Federal and state governments must first do what they can to reduce crime. After that, all restrictions are off.
Giulianis statement on lawsuits against gun makers is no more comforting. He now disavows the lawsuits because of "twists and turns I disagree with." But there is absolutely no mention about what these changes were. His own statements, when originally announcing New York Citys lawsuit, contained a laundry list of complaints. Indeed, his claims seemed the same as those in other city lawsuits.
Possibly, Giulianis opinions on the Second Amendment were really affected by Judge Laurence Silbermans recent court decision striking down Washington D.C.s gun ban. Silberman did make a persuasive case that the Second Amendment does guarantee an individual right. But Giuliani has frequently pointed out that constitutionally protected rights still allow reasonable regulations to accomplish some other goal, such as public safety.
Despite the assurances of the press, Giuliani clearly did not say that he would oppose new gun laws. Compared to what conservatives call the "just about flawless performance" by Fred Thompson, Giulianis presentation just didnt cut it.
With the nation at war, Republicans possibly have more important things to care about than gun control. But Giulianis image as a straight shooter risks being damaged by all the bobbing and weaving that he is doing over gun control.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made it official that the first case of sexually transmitted Zika Virus has been found in the United States of America. With respect to that, they have updated their Guide for Zika Virus for pregnant women. They have added that it is advisable that woman should not take any male sexual partner, who lives or has lived in a region affected by Zika virus. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has also stated that in case any man has even travelled for a few days, it would be advisable not to have any kind of sexual relation with him, for the time being.
The updated version of Zika Virus Guidance for Pregnant women states, "Until we know more, if your male sexual partner has traveled to or lives in an area with active Zika virus transmission, you should abstain from sex or use condoms the right way every time you have vaginal, anal, and oral sex for the duration of the pregnancy"
CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden stated that, "There have been isolated cases of spread through blood transfusion or sexual contact and that's not very surprising. The virus is in the blood for about a week. How long it would remain in the semen is something that needs to be studied and we're working on that now."
The CDC has said that they will keep on updating the guide, as and when they find more information in this regard. In addition, they have asked individuals to use condoms for sexual intercourse, so as to prevent sexually transmission of the disease. This is not the first time, when Zika Virus has been linked to sexual transmission. In the past, a man from the French Polynesia was tested positive for Zika Virus in his semen and urine samples.

The wonderful WordPress helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for my blog. Want to take a look see?
Here's an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,900 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it would take about 32 trips to carry that many people.

… Readers from 73 different countries – not bad. But my new years resolution (like most bloggers) will be to
Create more. Write more. Share more.
A big THANK YOU to all my readers and shoppers. Without you there would only be me … In a tiny room … overflowing with funny tees, silly dolls and mountains of scrap fabrics.

Beckford was born in the north-eastern Jamaican parish of Portland. His mother died during his infancy. At seven, following the death of his father, he was raised by his grandparents, between the west Kingston ghetto areas of Greenwich Farm and Maxfield Avenue. He began singing in the local Church of God, and became choirleader, while neighbour Carlton Smith taught him guitar. Like many of his peers, Beckford gained recognition outside the church by winning one of journalist and radio presenter Vere Johns's talent contests at west Kingston's Majestic theatre.
In 1968 Beckford joined a neighbourhood reggae band, Soul Syndicate but his high-pitched, nasal timbre and mento-influenced style did not fit with its focus. Ousted, he became a telephone company night watchman.
Working one night in 1973, and witnessing an arrest, Beckford wrote You Are a Wanted Man - which impressed producer Alvin "GG" Ranglin when Beckford gave an audition. Credited on release to the Starlights, the song's mento-styled vocal bucked urban reggae trends and went straight to No 1 in the Jamaican charts.
Similar material followed from Beckford under the Starlights credit. His biggest hit was the lewd Soldering (1975), banned by Jamaican radio, which prompted vinyl ripostes from Big Youth, I-Roy and Jah Lloyd. He became a regular on the north coast hotel circuit, playing to tourists and upper-class locals. After royalty disputes with GG, Beckford, changed the name of his group to Stanley and the Turbines, switching to producer Barrington Jeffrey, at the Dynamic Sounds studio.
Jeffrey ran the Dr Komina label and an adaptation of the ribald mento classic Leave Mi Kisiloo (1977) was a big hit. It led to an album of the same name and a follow-up set, Brown Gal.
In 1980 Beckford won the prestigious Jamaica festival song contest with Dreaming of a New Jamaica (A Land of Peace and Love), which he wrote during a bloody election year in which more than 900 citizens lost their lives to politically motivated violence. Financially disappointed with Jeffrey, Beckford recorded the album Big Bamboo (1981), with GG. It suffered from a less distinct mento influence.
In the mid-1980s Beckford's output waned as Jamaican music underwent a digital revolution and the computerised dance hall style took hold. Yet he still recorded significant material, most notably the digitally-backed Jamaica festival song contest winner Dem A Fi Squirm for trombonist Calvin "Bubbles" Cameron's Uhuru label and Stanley No Idiot (both 1986) for fellow singer Keith Poppin's Movements label
During the 1990s, he recorded songs such as A Wah A Gwan, and Amazon, and made seven tours of Brazil. In 2000 Fi Wi Island A Boom won the Jamaica festival song contest and he regularly performed with the Rod Dennis Mento Band at the Kingston Hilton.
In 2001, while playing hotel performances with the Fab 5 band, he was asked by French record executives to record an album of oldtime mento for the European market. On Stanley Beckford Plays Mento, released by Barclay, Beckford was backed by the Blue Glaze band, one of the island's top mento groups, with additional harmony provided by his wife Thelma and daughter Monique. The album and European tours gave Beckford a new audience; in France, he was compared to Compay Segundo of the Buena Vista Social Club and his success there led to the 2004 follow-up, Reggaemento, released by Warners.
Towards the end of 2006, Beckford underwent radiotherapy treatment at the University hospital of the West Indies. He is survived by his wife, five daughters and two sons.
· Stanley Beckford, singer and songwriter, born February 17 1942; died March 30 2007

|PS4 Trophies
Nuked is a Killing Floor 2 map. It is a community-made map that was added in the game as a part of The Descent update. Since the Grim Treatments update this map is also compatible with the Objective mode where players have to accomplish certain mandatory tasks in order to advance in the game.
"Nuked is the burnt and broken remains of a city that has a Zed problem on top of an incoming nuclear attack. Don't stare directly at the nuclear flash and remember to duck and cover!"
Objective Mode
This map can be played in Objective mode. As the game begins, Kevin Jr., Patriarch's son, contacts Survivors telling them that he is somewhere in the Embassy and desperately needs help. Dr. Ogada Buyu then tasks players to locate and rescue the VIP as his DNA could contain vital information to help stop the Outbreak.
|Wave №
|As the first wave starts players find themselves trapped in the building with the deadly gas outside. A pack of Crawlers heading towards players leaving them no choice but fight back.
|ZED replacement: Slashers and Alpha Clots replaced by Crawlers. Cysts, Bloats and Gorefasts - by Elite Crawlers. Gas outside: Damage to ZEDs = 10 points per 10s intervals (Bloats and Crawlers do not take damage), Damage to players (only) = 4 points per 2s intervals.
|The power is off-line and players have to move to the basement in order to fix few spider bots - a small devices attached to fuse boxes which can jump-start the electricity.
|Alpha Clots replaced with Abomination Spawns. Spider bot weld integrity = 1600 points. 4 bots need to be fixed.
|The power restored but the gas is pouring in. To avoid poisoning, the survivors have to operate ventilation control panel. In a meantime, Dr. Ogada Buyu gets informed that massive nuclear strike is planned and asks players to hurry up.
|Alpha Clots replaced with Abomination Spawns. Activations required = 4. Initial delay before first activation can be performed = 25s. Each next activation takes 25s to recharge.
|Ventilation systems are operational and gas is no longer a threat, however Buyu finds it suspicious that the gas was actually coming from the inside of the Embassy. The next task is to collect Datapads that contain vital information on Kevin Jr. biometrics. Devices scattered outside of the building and survivors move for it.
|Alpha Clots replaced with Abomination Spawns. 3 Datapads have to be collected and there are 6 possible spawn points for these. Initial delay before first datapad appears = 17s, each next = 5s.
|Buyu sends out drone to clear out the gas. Survivors are ordered to protect it from ZEDs.
|Alpha Clots replaced with Abomination Spawns.
Drone max speed = 1 m/s, 2 meters when players nearby. Drone does not move when ZEDs are close.
Speed decreases as the health of the drone goes down. Health = 400. Health to restore by one welder tick is a % of 68 (119 for Support) / cart's Max Weld Integrity, which is 1p = 1500, 2p = 2000, 3p = 2500, 4p = 3000, 5p = 3500 and 6p = 4000.
|Drone is half-way done, but requires recharge. For a few minutes players have to protect it.
|Hold time = 120s. Player thresholds: 1p - 1, 2p - 1, 3p - 2, 4p - 2, 5p - 3, 6p - 3. ZEDs thresholds: 1p - 8, 2p - 7, 3p - 7, 4p - 7, 5p - 6, 6p - 6.
|Drone is charged and on its way to finish the cleaning. And so are players.
|see Wave 5 notes.
|As it appears, Kevin Jr. was never here - it was a trap master minded by Dr. Hans Volter.Once the boss is defeated the cutscene shows players escaping in APC while the nuclear strike commence.
|Alpha Clots replaced with Abomination Spawns. Dr. Hans Volter has 100% chance to become end-game boss.
- The huge historical building named "Embassy Of The Nation Of Texas" located in the middle of the map hence most likely map takes place in either London or Paris.
- Upon making it to 33% wave completion in normal Survival game the sirens can be heard and gigantic nuclear blast goes off in the map background. This however does not have impact on gameplay other than slightly obscuring player's vision.

text: On 7 November, 7th Kendal (St George's) Guides headed out into the woods near Sizergh Barn for a woodland adventure day. It was a very wet start with a very wet forecast ahead but we had a fantastic day. We made fires using flint and steel which kept us warm and dry under our tarps. We learnt about the history of the coppice and types of wood growing in this woodland. We then made bead necklaces using elder wood and butter knives from hazel wood. We learnt how to make our own string and made charcoal in the fire and also made flags using natural dye from leaves. And obviously we had to toast marshmallows and make popcorn on the fire! We hope to go again next year.

Projects come in a variety of types and sizes, but they should all end with a culminating event that identifies the merits of the effort. First, recognize the participants for their contributions, then compensate the vendors for the supplies, and conclude with a post mortem to learn from the experience and improve performance in future endeavors.
Conduct individual and team debriefing sessions. Individual meetings allow team members to share their personal impressions of the project, their contributions and challenges. Group meetings reveal insight into team dynamics, communications, performance, and recommendations for the future.
Assess the technical performance. Discuss the variation between the final scope and the initial one. Identify the sources of scope creep, defect management, change management, quality and decision making.
Discuss cost and schedule performance. Assess the variances between scheduled and actual, selection of vendors, causes of schedule slippage, accuracy of planning, monitoring methods and reporting strategies.
Analyze customer involvement. Identify whether or not the customer was sufficiently informed and active in the project. Ask if the face-to-face meetings or teleconferences were appropriate and sufficient for the type of project, size, complexity and culture. Determine if everyone felt adequately informed of problems and involved in decision making.
Document the lessons learned. Distribute them to management, noting a summary of the project's performance and the team's recommendations for future projects. Ascertain whether the qualitative and quantitative objectives of the project were met.
