BIO and ADVANCE PRAISE - REVIEWS
Out of the 60s fringe folk and the seventies women's music movement rose a child singer-songwriter whose music, by early adulthood, would reach into international venues while earning a place of distinction in The Smithsonian Institute folk collection.
With percussive and world touches to her unique voice, Susan Herrick has played many national and historic songwriter stages - from Freight and Salvage in Berkeley to Eddie's Attic in Atlanta to The Bluebird in Nashville to the Philly Folk Festival. A local favorite at Fest and at Philly's Tin Angel, Susan shared billings with such artists as Barbara Higbie, Janis Ian, Ani DiFranco, John Gorka, Tracy Chapman and Cris Williamson. Her songwriting is honest, passionate, soulful; her voice a paintbrush of sound, nuance, and resonance.
Susan's performance career has been paralleled by her career as a music therapy instructor/music therapist, serving special needs from early childhood to the elderly. Her practice hinges on reading what the client's musical tendency is and building a "symphony" around that.
As a performing artist with a heart for social justice, Susan commits to be bold. An out lesbian performer since the 1980s, Susan has released 4 CDs that do not fail to examine some of society's harsher corners. Her voice is coined as 'a salve for the soul', and her songs follow the healing to its culmination with sometimes transcendent stories.
Inspired by thousands of hours creating art with and through nature, Susan's latest works take an intriguing artistic turn. Susan records, documents and archives everyday sounds of wildlife, and then, enters the recording studio for a varied and artistic interface with the sounds. Whether a sustained-note meditation interacting with seagull's echoing voice or a rhythmic and calming song harmonized with a looping dove coo, Human and Animal are integrated and interdependent.
In this new direction, she credits her influences and inspirations to be the late Kay Gardner, The Paul Winter Consort, Rhiannon, Jami Seiber, Dohee Lee, Susan's life partner Alice Rutkowski and Anna Halprin. In 2012 Susan was able to fund and begin this project with the generosity of 90 donors through the crowd funding site, Kickstarter.com.
Susan will, be giving ALL proceeds of her latest CD and her release on Concert Window.com, to The Marine Mammal Stranding Center of Brigantine, NJ. The MMSC has answered thousands of emergency calls, rescuing and rehabilitating sea mammals on the East coast over the last thirty years. They are a key part of the movement to educate about and, in some cases, reverse wildlife extinction.
In a beautiful tribute to the center, Susan was able to record sounds of rehabilitating seals singing to one another and feature them on her soon to be released collection: Songs Beyond the Traffic.
REVIEW by Laura L. Post
I have been a fan of the creativities of Susan Herrick since hearing her first release, TRUTH AND THE LIE (1991, Watchfire Records). Her great singing range (exceeding two octaves), her exquisite vocal control, and her inarguable authenticity stood out, both in the 'women's music' scene into which she burst on many festival stages, and beyond. Several other endeavors later, Herrick's new SONGS BEYOND THE TRAFFIC – which will drop at the SRO release event Saturday, January 31, 2015 – reflects deeper interactions with nature, with culture, and with herself. The Kickstarter-crowd-funded CD, which benefits the Marine Mammal Stranding Center of Brigantine, NJ, intersperses the calls and cries of birds of forest and water, of amphibians, and of the deep blue sea with nuances of human emotion and intents of healing restoration and archival education. The multi-instrumental music is muted, the voice remains, only this time embellished in a unique collaboration with nature which reveals not only the human truth and lie but the most enduring truth of the earth.

REVIEW by Edie Weinstein
I met Susan Herrick back in the 1980's when this music therapist turned singer songwriter was beginning what has been a twenty some year musical journey. A multi-instrumentalist and sacred sound healer, she has a 2 1/2 octave vocal range that can seem like various instruments in and of itself. Three previous releases, entitled Soul Chant, Paint and Truth & The Lie have become perennial favorites. I listen to them when I want to feel wrapped in a blanket of melody and harmony. Some of the selections are about self discovery and love songs to the woman in the mirror as well as other dear ones. Her newest creation called Songs Beyond The Traffic is a love affair with nature, as it takes the listener off the bustling main road into a world of sonic serenity. The opening piece called Who Am I? begins with the musical inquiry: "Cars, trains, passing lanes, high speed liners, jet airplanes, who am I? Be here, then be there, so much to do, no time to spare. Who am I?" Blessedly, the response comes from the throat of another song-bird; a WoodThrush 1 as this piece starts out with road sounds and then flute that is calling the winged one to match her tone note for note. In Frogs, Susan explains her desire to use music for healing and claims her role as a 'citizen of the world' to bear witness to the sounds of nature, before they are no more. She is a stand for the environment and social responsibility. Dove cajoles with cooing and percussion that evokes a desire to dance swayingly to a Caribbean breeze, with the instructions to "let go and rest your soul." Chimes, piano and mystical chanting are fused with raucous cries of Gulls in the following selection.Breathing in the Ocean air, Susan bemoans the fate of marine creatures and claims "I can't write another song til I write this one down," with the intention of being a guardian of the sea.It is easy to imagine Crickets hovering under shrubs as footfalls crunch leaves and Susan's voice weaves around the insect serenade.Seal has an unexpected disco sound to it, as the listener can imagine the sea mammals shaking it to the rhythmic beat. Wood Thrush 2 enters with piano and woven words " The truth of the Earth awaits us all …. it is generous enough." A 1960's anthemic feel to it, with shaking tambourine and overlapping vocalizations. The CD closes out with Bird meditation. Resting on a glorious summer day, feeling the melting sun beams cascading down and a fully orchestrated improvisational concert for the pleasure of anyone who will take the time to stop and listen with the ears of the heart. Songs Beyond The Traffic is an Earth prayer in which Gaia leads anyone with the willingness to hear and the open heart to join in. The CD will be available on February 1 on CDBaby.com. Mother Earth thanks you.
Proceeds from this CD go to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in New Jersey.

Call them especially despicable Olympians. Justice has finally caught up with Fernando Martin Vicente, the Spanish sports official who sent a team stocked with nondisabled athletes to win the gold medal in intellectually disabled basketball at the 2000 Sydney Paralympics. Team member Carlos Ribagorda copped to the scam shortly after the conclusion of the Games, saying at least 15 Spanish athletes had no physical or mental handicap, including 10 of the 12 on the basketball team. During one blowout win, Ribagorda said his coach told players, "Move down a gear, or they'll figure out you're not disabled." Spanish athletes were asked to return their medals, but only this week was Vicente hit with $200,000 in fines and penalties by a Madrid court. Charges were dropped against 18 others athletes and officials.

Although yoga has been around for thousands of years, it has become increasingly more popular in the last few years. It is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline originally from ancient India. Yoga has so many benefits, but can it help you lose weight?
What exactly is yoga?
According to Yoga Alliance, yoga is more than a simple exercise, and people do yoga for many reasons including fitness, stress management, and to relieve physical or emotional pain.
See Also: Pilates vs Yoga
The different types of yoga can include postures, energy and breath control, meditation, music, etc.
There are also many different styles of yoga. Some common styles you may have heard of are:
- Gentle yoga – includes breathing techniques, warm-ups and basic postures. It may include a lot of movement, but is gentler on the body than some of the other styles.
- Power yoga –It includes a lot of movement with routines designed to build strength and stamina.
- Yoga flows – The movements are more flowing and is more aerobic. It can improve strength and coordination.
- Spiritually-Oriented yoga – focuses more on the spiritual side of yoga and includes slower movements and meditation.
Does Yoga Help Lose Weight?
A study, published in the Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, looked at the effect of yoga training for six weeks, and its effect on weight loss by using a test that looks at sweat loss.
There were 46 subjects, 23 of which were controls. The study found a significant difference between the yoga group and the control group, indicating that yoga does produce weight loss. The study also found yoga training to produce significant improvements in respiratory muscle strength and endurance.
Another study, published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, looked at 15,550 middle-aged men and women who practiced yoga, and the effect yoga had on weight gain.
The subjects were followed for 10 years. The study found that regular yoga practice was associated with decreased weight gain, especially in overweight subjects. So, this study concluded that yoga can help those who want to maintain or lose weight.
So, according to these studies, yoga does provide a benefit of weight loss. Neither one of the studies stated what type of yoga the subjects were practicing, but the subjects were able to lose weight.
Whether or not yoga will help you lose weight will obviously depend on what type of yoga you are practicing. The types that include more aerobic movements such as Power Yoga and Yoga Flows are going to burn more calories than the ones that include less movement and focus more on meditation.
Does yoga provide other benefits?
The researchers from the study that was published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine weren't able to explain why those practicing yoga were less likely to gain weight than those who weren't practicing yoga.
Alan Kristal, co-author of the study, stated that it had nothing to do with burning calories, and that only very strenuous yoga practices can burn enough calories to make a difference in weight.
This suggests that yoga may provide other benefits that could lead to weight loss. Since yoga is a great way to relieve stress, it may decrease stress eating or those practicing yoga may value their body more, leading them to take better care of themselves.
Some of the great benefits that yoga offers are:
- Stress relief: Yoga has been shown to decrease the physical effects of stress on the body. It has also been shown to decrease levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. High levels of cortisol have been associated with weight gain.
- Pain relief: Yoga has been shown to reduce pain in people with different conditions such as cancer and arthritis.
- Better breathing: The breathing practices in yoga help to reduce our stress response, which improves lung function and promotes relaxation.
- Flexibility: Yoga improves flexibility and increases range of motion, which eventually leads to increased elasticity of the muscles, tendons and ligaments.
- Increased strength: Since all muscles in the body are used, strength is increased.
- Cardiovascular conditioning: Practicing yoga decreases your resting heart rate, which increases endurance and oxygen uptake during exercise.
- Inner peace: By practicing yoga and meditating, it may help you develop inner peace and quiet.
What can you do to ensure that you do lose weight?
Yoga is a great workout and provides many benefits. These benefits may help contribute to weight loss, but you may not lose weight as quickly as you would like to by doing yoga as your only type of exercise.
It does not burn as many calories as you would burn during your normal cardiovascular workout. Every workout regimen should include cardiovascular exercise, resistance training, and flexibility training.
Rather than only doing yoga, by adding it to your current cardio workout and resistance training, you will burn more calories, and still attain the benefits of yoga. If you want to burn more calories while practicing yoga, it is suggested to perform styles of yoga that are more aerobic.
No matter what style of yoga you choose to do, even if it doesn't burn a lot of calories, it will still provide many other benefits, and may help you lose weight.

Sandy Springs Marijuana "Grow House" Operation Defendants Sentenced To Prison
ATLANTA, GA. - MARC BROTEMARKLE, 24, of Harrisburg, Missouri, and DEREK O'NEAL, 32, of Atlanta, Georgia, were sentenced to prison today by United States District Judge Thomas W. Thrash on charges of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana plants and possession of marijuana plants with intent to distribute. A co-defendant in the case, JENNIFER McCHAN, 21, of Harrisburg, Missouri, was also sentenced today on a charge of misprision of a felony, based upon her conduct and role in the drug case.
"Indoor marijuana grows are becoming more frequently encountered by law enforcement and pose a danger to communities," said Rodney G. Benson, Special Agent in (SAC) of the Atlanta Field Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration. "This matter shows the positive impact a community can have when suspicious activity is encountered and reported to authorities, as well as the positive outcome of cooperative investigative efforts that lead to successful prosecutions and convictions."
United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said, "These defendants put an entire neighborhood at risk by operating a sophisticated marijuana grow house that was equipped with dangerous chemicals, unsafe wiring and multiple firearms. No neighborhood should be the epicenter of a drug operation, and thanks to the residents and the Sandy Springs Police Department, the poison is gone and the growers are on their way to federal prison."
Atlanta HIDTA Director Jack Killorin said, "Clandestine drug production in our communities pose a many layered threat, to safety and health as much as from their drug dealing. Criminal organizations make terrible neighbors."
"Growing operations such as this put everyone at risk not just by the marijuana that is grown but through the violence that follows the path of drugs and money," said Sandy Springs Police Chief Terry L. Sult.
BROTEMARKLE was sentenced to 5 years, 1 month in prison, and O'NEAL to 5 years, 2 months in prison, each to be followed by 4 years of supervised release. BROTEMARKLE and O'NEAL were convicted of these charges on February 14, 2011 after a jury trial.
McCHAN was sentenced to 1 year, 4 months in prison to be followed by 1 year of supervised release. McCHAN pleaded guilty to the charges on February 14, 2011.
According to United States Attorney Yates, the charges and other information presented in court: During fall 2009, neighbors in the area of a house at 8130 Habersham Waters Road noticed a strong odor, electricity brownouts, and high levels of activity at the house, which was owned by the parents of a co-defendant in the case, PHILLIP LAUGHLIN, 32, of Sandy Springs, Georgia. In response to neighbors' concerns, on January 8, 2010, the Sandy Springs Police Department conducted surveillance on the house and saw BROTEMARKLE and O'NEAL leave the house in McCHAN's car.
LAUGHLIN pulled out of the driveway in a second car. During a traffic stop of LAUGHLIN, he was able to call BROTEMARKLE and O'NEAL and instructed them to go back to his house and "destroy everything."
BROTEMARKLE and O'NEAL returned to the house, where Sandy Springs Police Officers saw one of them accompany co-defendants McCHAN and SARAH RAE TOWNSEND, 30, of Sandy Springs, Georgia, back to MCCHAN's waiting car. While McCHAN and TOWNSEND put their small children into the back seat, one of the men stored a large object in the trunk. McCHAN then drove in a manner designed to evade the police before eventually pulling into the parking lot of a supermarket, where McCHAN and TOWNSEND were encountered by Sandy Springs Police Officers. The officers discovered that TOWNSEND had over $20,000 in cash inside her jacket, and also found an electric power generator in the trunk of McCHAN's vehicle.
After McCHAN's car left the LAUGHLIN house, officers saw BROTEMARKLE and O'NEAL run outside to the backyard and hide various items. BROTEMARKLE concealed a SWD Cobray M-11 9 mm Pistol in leaves on the ground, while O'NEAL stored bags containing three firearms and $20,000 worth of fresh marijuana, packaged for sale, under a gazebo.
After BROTEMARKLE and O'NEAL were detained, BROTEMARKLE admitted that he had been living at LAUGHLIN's house for one month. A search of the house uncovered a complex marijuana grow operation containing 853 marijuana plants in the basement. The equipment used to power the grow house included the same type of electric generator retrieved from McCHAN's trunk.
Based upon evidence seized at the house on Habersham Waters Road, Sandy Springs Police identified a second marijuana grow house, located at 64 Long Island Place, in Sandy Springs. They executed a search warrant at that house, where they found a similar grow house operation with 263 marijuana plants. As with the first house, the second grow house also was equipped with complex power, irrigation and ventilation systems.
On March 17, 2010, a federal grand jury indicted BROTEMARKLE, O'NEAL, McCHAN, LAUGHLIN and TOWNSEND for their roles in the drug case. LAUGHLIN and TOWNSEND were fugitives until March 17, 2011, when they were apprehended by the Oakland, California, Police Department. They are currently being transferred to the Northern District of Georgia for prosecution.
This case was investigated by Special Agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the High Intensity Drug Task Force Area; and Officers of the Sandy Springs Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Shanya J. Dingle and Special Assistant United States Attorney Mike Smith prosecuted the case.

Ear Infections in Dogs and Cats
As many owners know far too well, ear problems in dogs and cats can be incredibly uncomfortable. The scratching, head shaking, and self-trauma that is associated with ear infections or ear inflammation can be incessant and may even keep pets and owners up in the middle of the night.
Besides the relief that owners seek for their itchy or painful feline and canine companions, owners want to know what causes ear problems. Especially when the ear problems are recurrent or chronic, it is helpful to understand some of the potential causes.
Are canine/feline ear infections similar to ear infections in people?
Most canine and feline ear infections only involve the external ear. In humans, the disease most often involves the middle ear. Whereas a respiratory viral and/or bacterial illness is often the culprit behind ear infections in people (think the common cold), ear infections in cats and dogs are set off by inflammation from a variety of causes. Another difference is that cats and dogs usually don't "outgrow" ear infections, but in people it is usually children that are affected and with age the problem will resolve.

A student at Shanghai's Donghua University died Tuesday after completing the school's mandatory 1000 meter running test, the Shanghai Daily reports.
The student, surnamed Miao, was reported to have died the same day that a runner in Guangzhou passed away after collapsing during the city's Nov. 18 marathon.
Earlier this month, Wuhan's Huazhong University of Science and Technology cancelled two long distance races in the school's university games over concerns that runners might injure themselves.
The China Daily reported that this was not an isolated incident.
Qiao Xiaoshan, a PhD candidate specializing in physical education research from Xidian University in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, said his university has not held long-distance races since 2006.
Qiao said more than 30 universities in Xi'an no longer held long-distance races because of the decline in students physical fitness, leading to concerns the students may suffer injury or even death if they took part in intense physical activity.
From 2002 to 2010 in China, more than 40 participants in long-distance running events aged 16 and over died suddenly, according to Qiao's research.
Educational authorities have expressed concern over students' declining physical fitness. On Oct. 29, China's State Council mandated that primary and middle school students spend at least one hour each day in physical exercise.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education recently announced that it was considering adding a fitness test to the college entrance exam.

Truth be told, I am not a big fan of goat cheese. However, I saw this recipe and it looked enticing so I decided to give it a try. If you don't like the gamy flavor of goat cheese, and are looking for something to balance it out, this recipe is for you. I used flavored goat cheeses (from the Sincerely Brigitte brand) which made it even better. The idea here is to coat the cheese in panko and fry it, this creates a soft interior with a crunchy exterior and makes it really yummy! The honey definitely lends a welcome sweetness that brings home the flavor.
- 4 oz Goat Cheese Cut into 1/8ths
- 1 egg
- 1/2 Cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup club soda
- 1 1/2 Cups panko
- Honey for drizzling
Servings: people
- Add enough oil to a pan that will cover the ball and the heat over medium heat to a temperature of 375.
- Take each piece of goat cheese and roll in a ball.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the rice flour, egg and club soda. Place the panko in another bowl.
- Roll each ball in the egg mixture, then coat with the panko. Repeat the process and then place the coated ball on a piece of wax paper. Repeat with the remaining seven balls. Place in freezer for 10 minutes until firm.
- Drop each ball in the oil, turning until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel to drain, then place on serving plate and drizzle with honey (about 3 T). Serve immediately.

Fort Carson soldiers returning from deployment in Iraq are suspects in at least five slayings, and officials want to know why.
Commander Maj. Gen. Mark Graham announced Friday a task force will examine any commonalities in the five killings, all allegedly committed by soldiers from the post's 4th Brigade Combat Team in the past 14 months. A sixth BCT soldier faces an attempted murder charge.
"We have many great young Americans in our Army who have volunteered to serve during a time of war, almost all of whom are great citizens," Graham said in a statement. "However, we too are very concerned about these horrible acts."
Fort Carson also plans to re-screen about 1,200 soldiers from the brigade for potential physical or mental health problems.
Earlier Friday, Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar asked Army Secretary Pete Geren to investigate the slayings. Officials learned of the latest on Monday, when Spc. Robert Hull Marko, 21, led investigators to the body of 19-year-old Judilianna "Judi" Lawrence, whom he met on the social networking Web site MySpace, according to an arrest affidavit released Tuesday.
The affidavit said Marko told investigators he had violent sex with Lawrence before slitting her throat and leaving her to die in the foothills west of Colorado Springs. His next court appearance is Monday.

Friday, March 3, 2017
On Friday 3 March 2017, 12 members of SDSB faculty visited Descon Engineering's headquarters on Ferozepur Road, Lahore. The visit was part of the SDSB-Business Linkages Programme that aims to enable knowledge exchange between the SDSB and various business organisations to produce case studies, consultancies, and other forms of engagement beneficial for both the business school and the industry.
The faculty members included Dr. Jawad Syed, Dr. Kamran Chatha, Dr. Faiza Ali, Dr. Atif Chaudhry, Dr. Zehra Waheed, Dr. Abdur Rehman Malik, Dr. Shakeel Jajja, Dr. Zainab Riaz, Dr. Omair Haroon, Dr. Aun Rizvi, Ms. Atifa Dar and Mr. Waqar Ali.
The SDSB faculty was welcomed by the top management of Descon and presented with a brief history of the company. The ensuing Q&A session discussed some of the key achievements as well as issues of the company and its different business units within Pakistan and abroad, including aspirations and challenges in the fields as diverse as strategy, human resource management, operations, manufacturing, employment relations and R&D were shared by the management.
The management and faculty also discussed some of the ways (such as executive education and EMBA) in which the SDSB could help the company. The visit concluded with a brief tour of the design and engineering offices of the company. The faculty also made some contacts with respective functional heads.

The time/money equation is not very clear. Time is of less value when experienced without the buffer that money provides; experienced 'head on', time is crushing in its vastness and apparent lack of meaning. Money acquires much of its utility in its ability to reroute time through directed activity (let's take an uncreative example here- buying a lambchop, and then a candle to make it look nice on the plate). The 'pursuit of happiness' in the contemporary sense often is nothing other than tinkering with the scales of balance between time and money- finding enough time to spend your money, or acquiring enough money to spend so that time doesn't make it's oppressive presence felt. Being of the mind that time (specifically experience) is more valuable than money (potential), I have structured my life so as to more often be endowed with a surplus of time than of money. This has worked out ok so far, as I have been surrounded by like-minded individuals with whom to share this overabundance of experience (and I'm being very generous here by making time a synonym for experience- it is more than likely that it is only the presence of others that have allowed this rationalization and conflation of terms). But, removing these individuals and replacing them with their avatars on the internet in the past few weeks has left me, once again, a little confused as to how and why I have structured my life like this.
Because I am able to provide for myself on a very basic level (I am able to eat (though I did balk and frown at the brown maggots in my rice this morning before grimly picking them out and consuming the rice with a resultant pride), sleep in a house (in which I walk softly in order to make it appear I am not there), bathe (using others shampoo) etc.), my experience is more akin to being on a very prolonged and cheap vacation than struggling for a meager subsistence. When threatened with absolute privation, I am able to summon elements of my various privileges to keep me from slipping in class (whether this involves sleeping on a fellow artist's floor or being able to land a crappy service industry job that would not be available to the illiterate maimed). But with my ability to survive unthreatened a chief motivator of the urge to ascend in class has been removed. Joining the elite seems impossible due to the various safeguards that have been put in place to keep the lazy and rebellious from stumbling on in to their comfy echelons, and as a result I instead must rely on either hedonism or the ethic of 'improvement' as motivators for the actions I must take to lessen the mental impact of the time void yawning in front of me. Both of these motivators require a bit of narcissism, and as a result I have developed an anxiety that stems directly from my refusal to acknowledge narcissism as a sufficiently ethical motivator while still modeling my lifestyle around its unpleasant requests. The chief way in which this anxiety manifests is to complicate the manner in which I experience my 'free' time. And although this article isn't funny at all, it is pretty funny how I end up trying to maneuver around this blockage in my life- this article (as well as others) being a primary manifestation of the problem as well as an attempt to solve it. So in an extremely dry, general sense, this article is as funny as any other endeavor with premises that preclude the content (the profound tweet, the master's degree in art administration, the shrug etc.). Not laugh out loud funny, that's for sure.
Having recently moved to a new city, I am constantly asked the question "what do you want to do?" As you can see, it's complicated. I suppose what I ultimately want to do is rewrite this article from the vantage point of a person who is 'experiencing the world' rather than from the point of view of someone who is 'experiencing themselves (in the world)' (experiencing alienation). This is the difference between someone who is on vacation and someone who is at work. Uneasy in the workplace, in which I am unable to discern which circuitous path will lead me towards any goal other than that of earning an increased wage in an atmosphere of diminishing physical and mental discomfort (but always retaining the fundamental discomfort of 'working for…' i.e. of sublimation), I am unable to make the sacrifices that actual advancement requires. Equally uneasy in vacationland, in which I am unable to extract enough pleasure from time to justify its passing (without the experiential structure provided by expensive drugs or travel), I am unable to relinquish the idea that every moment not spent in hedonistic bliss is a moment of squandered productive capacity. The 'art' that results is nothing more than an anxious response to this unresolvable problem. Keeping this in mind, it is increasingly difficult to see anything other than this anxious response in every artifact engendered by my experience of unstructured time- they are all just little impositions of structure; direct contradictions of the premise that freedom is the absence of imposed structures (limitations) on human potential. It ends up appearing as though my freedom consists of my decisions of when and how to articulate the anxieties that arise from compromise, which is not the best for a life goal. What do I want to do? Transform my vacation into work and then take a real vacation from it.
I am tempted here to get into a 'discussion' about addiction and repetitive behavior in general as the most common solution to this quandary but I'm sure everyone knows my point already so I won't belabor it ('addiction is addictive because of its ability to structure time, congratulations Dyl you figured it out'). What's more interesting I think is to provide an example so y'all can laugh at the manner in which I flail in the vortex. Last night, disgruntled by my own inability to fully enjoy the hedonistic way in which I spent the day (eating food, listening to baseball in the van, swimming in a swimming pool, drinking beer, reading frivolous articles on the internet and watching a nature documentary in untranslated dutch which I couldn't understand- all activities which have been divested of some of their charm due to my own routinization of them), I resolved that the next day, this Monday, I would reorient myself towards production and achieve satisfaction from 'work' (which, without compensation, loses much of its clarity and is experienced more as rerouted leisure). What a gas. I got up after lying in bed 'only' ten minutes after I woke up, then read news websites, made coffee, rice and fish, ate it slowly, refrigerated some water for later, drank more coffee, read some financial articles that I told myself reflected the way in which the world is administered and were thus beneficial to read, put my t shirts in one pile and long sleeve shirts in another pile (plus some t shirts I didn't like in a bag), uploaded a video that anyone who cares has already seen to youtube and sat down to write this article. Now would you call this day any more productive than yesterday? LOL.
Ultimately what's missing here is interaction. Without a community both creative work and hedonistic activities fall back upon the weak little individual to justify, something he cannot hope to manage on his own. The online community of quips and congratulations doesn't have enough presence when I get up and move around the room. Being unable to afford to do things that aren't almost completely free (excluding the gas it takes to drive somewhere near), I am separated from a large swath of people (moving around in the world requires money). It's an interesting place to be, on permanent vacation out here in fantasy land. It leads to time usurpation practices like the one I've hopefully just tricked you into participating in with me. Thanks sucker.

How innovative technology can help college students with their mental health
Nearly every student encounters unexpected challenges during college. Changes, including new environments, relationships, academic workload, decision-making and self-identity, are taxing and lead to varying emotions including sadness, loneliness and worry. When unaddressed, these challenges can develop into more serious mental health issues, including depression and anxiety.
Mental health issues are prevalent on college campuses
According to the latest results from the National College Health Assessment:
- More than 1 in 5 college-age students felt overwhelming anxiety in the past 12 months
- Nearly 17 percent felt so depressed they couldn't function
- Nearly half (48.7 percent) found their academic responsibilities to be "traumatic or very difficult to handle"
Research on mental health on college campuses conducted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness reported similar concerns:
- 72 percent of students experienced a mental health crisis on campus; yet 34 percent reported their college did not know about their crisis
- 57 percent of students did not access accommodations through college resource centers, often citing they were unaware such services existed or that they had access to them
- 36 percent of students cited stigma as the number one barrier to accessing their college's mental health services and supports
Without adequate treatment or support, young adults experiencing a mental health issue are more likely than their peers to receive lower GPAs, drop out of college or be unemployed.
Technology helps tackle college stressors
A recent Pediatrics study found the prevalence of a major depressive episode in people between the ages of 12 and 17 increased from 8.7 percent in 2005 to 11.3 percent in 2014. The study also revealed that depressive episodes among young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 increased from 8.8 percent to 9.6 percent during this same time.
"Honestly, it's unlike any other tool on campus. It's like having a support network that's anonymous." –WVU student
Technology meets students and young adults where they are and provides an opportunity to receive the treatment they need for their mental health.
Aetna's Student Health team has engaged myStrength, Inc., a digital behavioral healthcare company, to provide behavioral health solutions to college-age students while addressing the challenges of stigma and access.
Working with student advisory panels, Aetna Student Health and myStrength developed personalized, online self-care tools to support college students' challenges with stress, anxiety, test-taking, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and substance use. The resources incorporate clinical, evidence-based activities to increase resiliency, develop coping strategies and help manage the stressors of college life. These tools also help students maintain a positive mindset, helping to prevent the onset of loneliness and worry.
How it works
All students and faculty on Aetna's Student Health Plans have access to myStrength with no referral required. Students who create an account set baseline goals during an initial assessment. They then receive personalized activities including videos, articles, inspirational quotes and mindfulness exercises specifically curated for students. Topics include I'm Freaking Out, Happiness, and College Life.
Students can track their mood, record their thoughts, and choose activities that suit their current challenges or emotional state.
Students can easily view their activity history, making it simple to revisit any resources they find meaningful. Additionally, there is an option to choose to share and/or read responses from others who have completed the same activity. This opt-in feature is anonymous and secure, combining user comments from all participating universities to create a supportive peer-to-peer community without direct interaction. More than two-thirds of students who participated in the program valued the ability to connect with other students through these community discussions. A 'Get Help' page also links students who need more personalized support to on-campus resources who can assist in person.
Success with digital tools
The application is available from a computer or any mobile device and can provide help before, during and after issues occur.
Reports indicate students frequently access myStrength in the evening when traditional resources are unavailable. Tools for self-identification of emotional distress and mindfulness are most frequently utilized, including activities like 'Do I have major depression,' 'Self-esteem check-up' 'Do I have generalized anxiety disorder' and 'Anxious? Breathe with this.'
The tools are also available for Student Health Center staff that use the digital resource to help identify students at elevated risk and accelerate their mastery of healthy coping tools. The goal is to continually promote resilience and offer reinforcement of skills.
myStrength's content is clinically-proven, confidential, HIPAA-compliant and offers secure access 24 hours a day, seven days a week via the Aetna Student Health portal.
Fully insured student health insurance plans are underwritten by Aetna Life Insurance Company (Aetna). Self‐insured plans are funded by the applicable school, with claims administration services provided by Aetna Life Insurance Company. Aetna Student HealthSM is the brand name for products and services provided by Aetna Life Insurance Company and its applicable affiliated companies (Aetna).

Pumpkin muffins are a traditional sweet desert bread muffin, popular in the cooler Fall and early winter months, with a flavor reminiscent of a pumpkin pie! It's very easy to make and you'll be surprised how good it tastes! You can even use this to make pumpkin muffins! Paula Deen will be asking you for this recipe; but unlike hers, in addition to being tasty, it's also healthy! Click here for a PDF print version
Makes 3 muffin pans (36 muffins)
Like banana bread, pumpkin muffins taste better if you wrap them in plastic wrap (Saran wrap, cling film), refrigerate it and wait until the following day to eat them. They keep well in the refrigerator and can be frozen.
A visitor writes on October 04, 2013: "I have used this pumpkin-muffin-from-scratch recipe of your for years. My family practically begs me to make it year round. To facilitate these requests; I use a rather large pumpkin and just freeze in 4 loaf servings (big family). Thanks a ton, your website is awesome! Sincerely, J.D."

DVD Review: THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
Release date: November 23, 2010
Actors: Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Donald Sutherland, Matthew Macfadyen, Eddie Redmayne, Hayley Atwell, David Oakes
Ken Follet's book was a best seller, the cast is top notch and they really spent some money on this mni series. On paper it looks like a no lose DVD purchase.
This "epic" tale starts slowly and a bit dis-jointed. But very soon we catch on to what's happening. Middle ages, a family wandering looking for work and a home, Dad is a master builder, Mom is a superstitious woman and their son also shares this trait. The daughter is basically ignored unless need for a plot point. Family loses Mom, family goes to a monastery that need work done and offers to work for lodging and food. Eventually a new cathedral is built. Along the way we have Kings and Queens fighting for the throne, crusades and lot of fighting.
But do you know what I saw? Things stolen right out of Robin Hood and the Tudors and any number of films that actually did a great job of capturing the period. I'd seen it all before, and done better. My first thought that the writer was a youngster who had never seen any movies or television, but actually John Pielmeir is an award winning playwright with a fair amount of television credits.
Donald Sutherland and Ian McShayne and the rest of the cast probably had a lot of fun dressing up in the period outfits, and their acting was fine. It's just a shame that the material felt like a patch work compilation of so many other things. Not a single thing that happened was a surprise to me, and I have not read the book. When all was said and done I felt like I wasted 428 minutes.

UBS Consumption Indicator points to further increase in consumer demand
The rise in the UBS Consumption Indicator in July was broad-based, with all sub-indicators improving.
The UBS Consumption Indicator continued to rise in July, increasing to a value of 1.86 from its June level of 1.80.
The UBS Consumption Indicator is calculated from five sub-indicators: new car registrations, business activity in the retail sector, the number of domestic overnight stays in hotels by Swiss citizens, the consumer sentiment index and credit card transactions via UBS at points of sale in Switzerland.
After record growth in the previous month, July was also characterized by a high number of new car registrations (+6.1% year-on-year). Business activity in the retail sector improved considerably, but is still at a relatively low level. The other components of the UBS Consumption Indicator also contributed to its overall rise.
On September 2, the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) will publish the quarterly estimate of the gross domestic product for the second quarter of 2010. UBS expects very encouraging figures. The growth rate of private consumption may well reach the magnitude of the first quarter (+2.2% year-on-year). The UBS Consumption Indicator is still clearly below this level and should thus continue to rise in the coming months.

Glaucoma is the name given to a group of eye conditions which cause optic nerve damage and can affect your vision. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve at the point where it leaves your eye. Primary congenital glaucoma is rare (glaucoma in children). It affects about one in every 10,000 infants. It is serious and needs attention. Untreated primary congenital glaucoma is a major cause of childhood blindness.
There are four main types of glaucoma:
1. Chronic open-angle glaucoma – this is the most common type of glaucoma and develops very slowly
2. Primary angle-closure glaucoma – this is rare and can occur slowly (chronic) or may develop rapidly (acute) with a sudden, painful build-up of pressure in the eye
3. Secondary glaucoma – this occurs as a result of an eye injury or another eye condition, such as ⦁ uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye)
4. Developmental glaucoma (congenital glaucoma) – this is rare but can be serious. It is usually present at birth or develops shortly after birth. It is caused by an abnormality of the eye
Glaucoma damage may be caused by raised eye pressure or a weakness in the optic nerve. In most cases, high pressure and weakness in the optic nerve are both involved to a varying extent. Your eye needs a certain amount of pressure to keep the eyeball in shape so that it works properly. However, if the optic nerve comes under too much pressure then it can be damaged. The amount of damage there is depends on how high the pressure is and how long it lasts, and whether there is a poor blood supply or other weakness of the optic nerve. A really high eye pressure can damage the optic nerve immediately. A lower level of pressure can cause damage more slowly, and then you would gradually lose your sight if it is not treated.
What are the symptoms of glaucoma in children and babies?
Developmental glaucoma:
Recognising the symptoms of developmental glaucoma (also known as congenital glaucoma) can be difficult due to the young age of the baby or child.

Stop Wasting Your Time and use Zotero to Organize Research/
It seemed like a good idea at the time. And I think it was. Using Excel 2007 to organize all of my research references worked very well during my time in graduate school. But that was in 2009. The world—and its technology—have changed. So now I'm happy to tell anyone and everyone to NOT follow the advice I presented in my 2009 blog post about using Excel to organize all of your research articles.
Instead, use Zotero.
Zotero has been around for a few years, but it only recently (in my estimation) reached the point at which it does everything I want it to do. Granted, I wasn't really paying attention to research and related technologies while I was on my all-expenses paid trip to Afghanistan from December 2012 to December 2013. But let's just say that since I've been back and diving into research again, I've been thrilled with Zotero.
To set the stage, understand that I have thousands of PDFs of scholarly journal articles. These are all somehow related to work I've done or work I'm still doing. So any technology that helps me manage them has the potential to save me a substantial amount of time. Even more significantly, a well-designed technology has the potential to help me organize my actual thoughts.
I downloaded Zotero a few weeks ago. It's free to download from www.zotero.org. I have it installed on my home computer and on my work computer. Zotero is free to use up to 300MB of storage; after that, you can buy more space.
I'm not going to outline all of the features of Zotero here, as I probably don't know all of them yet. But here are a few of my favorites:
1. It automatically syncs what I do on my home computer with the cloud. I worked on research from home today, but when I go to the office tomorrow and fire up that computer, Zotero will look exactly the same as it does at home.
2. It can pull the metadata from PDFs. That means that once you put PDFs into your library, you can have Zotero retrieve the citation information for the article.
3. You can tag, categorize, write notes, and otherwise make sense of your articles. It's easy.
4. Zotero has a plug-in for Microsoft Word, so that I can use it to manage my citations and reference list when drafting a manuscript.
5. It's relatively intuitive to use. And if there's something you're trying to do and can't figure it out, simply Google it and you'll likely find the answer quickly.
I felt compelled to write this quick update given that I still have people contact me and tell me how great my simple Excel 2007 spreadsheet is for organizing references. But it's now official. I'm urging you to use Zotero for your next project. It's so much better. I'm not an expert on other systems like EndNote or Mendeley, but Zotero has made such a big impression on me during the past two weeks that I'm confident to recommend it. It's to your benefit, of course, to explore the advantages and disadvantages of various tools. All I'm saying is that Zotero is working quite well for me. I'm thrilled with it.
I suggest getting used to Zotero by using it for one project. For example, use it for one manuscript or research project. That way, you won't be feeling the need to change your entire system that you've been using. You'll be able to learn the features and benefits of Zotero as you go through your first project.
And then—I'll wager—you'll be hooked. I'm pretty sure I am.

There's something that doesn't get mentioned often enough by academics. When you're an academic your work is often a whole lot of fun. For example, the two day conference I just attended in Bristol was in some ways a very serious affair but at the same time thoroughly enjoyable, both intellectually and socially. I mean what could be better than spending a couple of days talking to extremely intelligent and knowledgeable people about things you find fascinating.
I think the conference organisers Finn Spicer, Thalia Gjersoe, Andrew Atkinson and Samantha Barlow can all be very proud of what they managed to achieve. From personal experience I know how difficult it is to get a meeting to come together in terms of scheduling, choice of participants and just basic logistics. The second of these considerations becomes particularly important when you wish your conference to include presentations that approach the topic from a variety of different disciplines. This, of course, was the case with the meeting in Bristol and the organisers made it work. What helped was that many of the people who attended already knew each other's work so there were pre-existing connections between what they did. Still, when that is the case there is always the danger that nothing substantially new gets said during a meeting but this was definitely not the case here. It simply worked.
The first talk was by Sue Blackmore. In the talk, she aimed to show that memetics can explain a number of religious phenomena that other approaches are incapable of dealing with. Something that I think became quite clear first during the talk and then during the discussion was that the one approach that Sue particularly needs to consider is the dual inheritance approach, as it is this approach that seems the most likely to be able to deal with exactly the kinds of cases that Sue thinks memetics is needed for. Of course, from her point of view, the problem is that a number of people are working within the dual inheritance approach while very few if any are doing research on the basis of memetics. That is a self-perpetuating problem in that the lack of people working in that tradition entails the lack of results that might attract other people to it. The difficulty could be at least partially diminished if Sue were able to clearly relate memetics to dual inheritance theory, I suspect.
I was up right after Sue and the presentation went smoothly thanks, I am sure, to the amount of preparation I had put into it. I even managed to finish in good time, allowing a few questions. The content of the talk was received quite positively which I was very glad of as I had been concerned that, thanks to their knowledge of religion, the audience may have obvious objections to the thesis I was putting forward. I have put up the slides for the talk.
The next speaker was Paolo Mantovani. His talk focussed on a paper by Justin Barrett that I have been thinking about quite a bit recently. The paper – Why Santa Claus is not a god – tries to argue that the concept of Santa Claus fails to be cognitively optimal for a number of reasons and, therefore, is unsatisfactory as a potential god-concept. By 'cognitive optimality' Barrett means the particular mix of properties that makes a concept especially likely to be believed, one of these being minimal counterintuitiveness. Paolo argued that Barrett was wrong in his assessment of Santa Claus and that, in fact, the concept fits all of the requirements that Barrett puts forward. I suggested to Paolo that he should look at the Gervais and Henrich paper on the Zeus Problem to see that there is more to the difficulties that Barrett fails to deal with. Of course, that paper, which shows that it is not enough to consider the content of a religious belief to explain why people hold it, the other significant consideration being the cultural context in which people find themselves in, essentially shows that a purely cognitive approach is inadequate and that one must be working with a dual inheritance picture. Barrett, however, cannot accept that conclusion as his religious commitments lead him to want to claim that the concept of the Christian deity is the most cognitively optimal concept of all, this being for him indicative of God's handiwork.
After lunch, the first person to speak was Bruce Hood. His talk concerned the way in which people tend to think of individual and group identity in essentialist terms, i.e. as not reducible to any other properties. Bruce does a lot of work with these ideas including arguing that they play a vital role in the cognitive basis of religious belief. I had initially been somewhat sceptical of this claim but he's managed to convince me that this is the case and that essentialism is definitely part of the complex picture that is needed to explain religion.
Ryan McKay's talk, which followed Bruce's, concerned the various ways in which religion may help to motivate prosocial behaviour. It was a very careful presentation of the various of theses that have been proposed and the ways in which they can be teased apart empirically. It is of obvious significance for my own work, since Ryan was talking about the various mechanisms that may underpin the prosociality of religion and which of those mechanisms will ultimately prove to be at work will have significant implications for the picture that I seek to put together.
The last talk of the first day was by Deb Kelemen. Just like Bruce Hood, she's a developmental psychologist. Her research has focussed on the ways in which children and, at times, adults tend to explain various natural phenomena using teleological explanations. For example, when asked why rocks are sharp children may reply that is so that animals do not sit on them. Deb has done a lot of research in this area so she has very nicely explored a range of dimensions of this phenomenon, much in the way that Paul Rozin has explored the various dimensions of contagion. I find myself wondering about two aspects of her work that I should examine at some stage. The first is the obvious one and is the relevance of the predilection that people have for teleological explanations for their predilection for supernatural and superempirical explanations. Of course Deb talked about some of this in her presentation but because of my interest in the superempirical aspect I would like to go through some of her results with that particularly in mind. The second aspect is the role of culture in determining to what degree people do accept teleological explanations. This is significant in that, since such explanations do seem to play a role in supernatural explanations, it will be one of the factors that affect the cultural evolution of religious traditions.
The second day's talks were every bit as interesting to see as those on the first. Michael Blume was the first speaker, and I think it fair to say that his talk woke up anyone who was still feeling groggy. What Michael showed was that there appears to be a very strong correlation between the number of children that people have and how strong their religious beliefs are, with the most fanatical believers generally having the greatest number of children. What is more, Michael claimed that no secular society has even managed to maintain replacement levels of fertility in the long term. He also explored the various kinds of mechanisms which may underlie this phenomenon ranging from religious beliefs that may promote fecundity through to religious institutions that may support women having a greater number of children. Michael's conclusion was that, despite the significant percentage of children from religious families that become nonbelievers in every generation, the future belongs to the theists. Sue Blackmore expressed an emotion that many people felt when she said that she found herself disturbed by the results Michael presented. While I thought that his data regarding modern societies was very much persuasive I was not so convinced that he had adequate evidence of the same kinds of fertility effects operating in the past. Of course, the demographic data he primarily used was not kept in anything other than modern societies so that the lack of such data was hardly surprising. Still, I thought that this meant he should be a touch more careful with the scope of his thesis. This was only one of a great number of thoughts that Michael's presentation prompted so I suspect that I will have to go back and talk to him about it on numerous occasions in the future.
After a short coffee break to gather our discombobulated minds, Ara Norenzayan presented the evidence for a dual inheritance account of religion. Not surprisingly, this was one of the talks I was keenest to listen to since I think his approach is essentially the same as mine even though we are exploring different aspects of it since I seek to explore the epistemic aspects while he is concerned with the prosocial mechanisms. It is very clear that Ara is doing a stack of fascinating research right now, with a lot of the results he mentioned still unpublished. The main focus of Ara's talk was the significance of gods who actively intervene in human existence and who act to support moral behaviour. If this is the kind of belief through which religions primarily achieve their prosocial effect it appears to follow that there must be a correlation between the gods being prosocial and acting in ways that are not open to investigation. This is clearly the case with Christianity, of course, since the primary means by which good behaviour is rewarded and evil behaviour is punished is heaven and hell, the particular destination one arrives at post-death being very much at the safely superempirical end of the possible range of effects. The question is whether this is the case across a range of religions and how to find out if it, indeed, is. Obviously what would be useful is access to a large cross-cultural dataset in which the character of the gods that are believed in and the epistemic character of the threats or potential rewards is indicated. Having talked to Ara about this, it sounds like the dataset he used to obtain some of the results he mentioned in his talk could well include this kind of information but it might prove necessary to code the raw data since the existing ways in which it has been coded may not be relevant to the particular question that I need to investigate.
After another lunch on the freshly mowed grass of the garden behind the building in which the conference was taking place it was time for one more challenging presentation. Jesse Bering argued that any notion of meaning that we might like to hold on to is misbegotten. In terms of empirical results he examined the relationship between the kinds of meaning that people attach to events in their lives and their religious beliefs. In particular, he showed that some atheists tend to hold on to such feelings either fully or to a limited, self-conscious degree.
The last two talks were by two academics who were among the first to pursue cognitive approaches to religion. The first to speak was Bob McCauley with Tom Lawson following. Both their talks depended upon the model of religious ritual they developed together. The model is similar to the picture of practice/effect/supernatural-explanation that I use to distinguish religion and magic, and it struck me that I should think about the relationship between their model and the picture that I use. This is particularly important given how significant their model has been within cognitive science of religion. Central to Bob's talk was the distinction between cognitive systems that are maturationally natural and those that have practiced naturalness. I had originally been somewhat sceptical of this distinction but both during the talk and also in discussion of it Bob managed to convince me that it is deep enough to support the kinds of claims he makes using it.
At the end of the two and a bit days in Bristol I came away feeling that I had gained more from the conference than from any other meeting I care to think of. What is more, I am quite certain that I was hardly the only one who felt this way, as is evident from, among other things, Michael Blume's write-up of the meeting.

Another K-mart trip today...We needed coffee and I needed contact solution, I knew I had coupons for both. So why not use a coupon that they will double? All the other stuff I got, I just couldn't resist the deal. I knew it would be used eventually and why not get it cheap. Here is the price break down.
Secret Deodorant $3.89 :) FREE
Clear Care Contact Solution $8.95 $4.95
Folgers Brazilian coffee (big size) $6.49 $5.99
Tostidos tortilla chips $3.00 No coupon!!! But it was on sale!
Hershey Special dark chocolate kisses $2.50 $.50 who could pass this up for $.50!!!
Ragu Spaghetti sauce $1.99 $.99
Wheat Thins $2.50 $1.75
Triscuits $2.50 $1.75
2 Coffeemate coffee creamers $4.98 $2.98 for both
price before coupons $36.80
total after coupons $21.91
Not as great as last time, but I did get a couple higher priced items...Like the contact solution and the coffee. So when you consider what I got and what I would have paid before for these things, then I did pretty good. Plus Mike just had to have his tortilla chips, I only bought these because he requested them. I know I could have gotten them cheaper somewhere else...ha ha! It would have only been $18.91 if I had not gotten those. When you consider the coffee and contact solution alone would have been $15.44. I'd say that's pretty darn good for what I got!

Coupon obsessed...
I have a new hobby. I have been collecting coupons for about a month and decided I would try to save our family some money. So far I think I have done pretty good with it. It is time consuming but I feel a sense of accomplishment when i leave the store spending WAY less than what I would have spent before without blinking an eye. I also shopped for sale stuff before, but never did I imagine how much less you can pay if you take the time to use coupons.
Kmart is doubling all manufactures coupons up to $2 till October 3rd. I have made 2 trips so far and I wanted to share how I did. This is the list of the things I ended up with. The price in black bold is the price that I would have paid if I didn't have a coupon and the price in red is what I actually paid for the item.
2 secret deodorants $7.78 FREE
1 Dove deodorant $3.99 FREE
2 Visines $7.98 FREE
1 24ct advil $3.99 FREE
2 Aveeno baby lotions $9.58 $1.58
1 Reynolds foil $2.99 $1.49
1 Ajax dish soap $1.99 FREE
2 Pringles $3.00 $1.00
1 huge gatorade $1.66 no coupons (gasp!)
1 10 pack Bic disposable razors $3.49 FREE
1 bag of dark chocolate kisses $2.50 $.50
1 jar of Ragu spaghetti sauce $1.99 $.99
1 Lea and Perrins Worcheshire sauce $3.25 FREE
1 dial hand soap $1.59 $.49
TOTAL before coupons ( I would of spent) $55.78
*total before coupons*
*total after coupons*
I did this in two trips but if I would have done it in one, I had a $5.00 off coupon when you spend $50....shoot! They do actually have a 10 coupon limit, so the chances of me being able to do all of this at once is slim. So I am really proud. These are all things we use. It makes me feel like I am doing something good for my family. You may be thinking, why in the world do you need 3 deodorants? I thought that also when I started reading about "stockpiling", but not only will I not need to buy deodorant for like a year, I will probably never pay a cent for it again. In fact, before this double coupon shinanigans is over, I will probably have 3 or 4 more...Why pass up something that is free that eventually you will use? That is my theory anyway. Also, I can give it away to someone who needs it. Every time I come home with another bag from Kmart, Mike rolls his eyes. ha ha...He really does like that I am saving money though. He just thinks it's funny how obsessed i get with things.

Pictures from the party
Posted by Alyssa at 7:51 PM 0 Post a comment
I can't believe that Austin is 2!!!! He had a super great birthday this year and he really understood that it was his special day. Mike had a 3 day weekend, so we were all home on the morning of his birthday. It was so much fun to celebrate all together. The night before Mike and I were up till midnight decorating the house, wrapping his presents and putting together his new tricycle. Finally I had everything set up for how I wanted it when he woke up.
When Kaden realized that the tricycle wasn't for him...
We had his party at Strother park this year. We have done the birthday parties in our backyard before but this year we just wanted to try something new. I have to say that it was really nice not having it at home. I think all the kids enjoyed having the spacious park to run around and play in. Not to mention cleanup was a breeze compared to having them in your backyard...

Yesterday morning, after completing my breathing and meditation exercises I head out to meet an old mate for a cup coffee. He's out walking, losing some weight and we discuss the size we used to be. We discussed how and why we put on so much of it over the years.
Was asked why a few times over the years and the answer can be comedic 'I bulked up to go to the gym but forgot to go' or 'it was a form of self harm'. The self harm answer normally throws people until I describe how I felt ugly inside and wanted to look the same on the out. When I get back home I nip round to the local gym after signing up for a year.
Later in the day I'm making plans and head up for a shower after a good work out. Then it hits me. A full blown panic attack. No warning signs, totally uncontrollable and a frightening experience. The rest of the day is cancelled as I climb under the duvet for an hour or two, scream into the pillow and use all of my knowledge and breathing tricks that enable me to ride this storm of fear, dread, panic and seeking of oblivion. I'm lucky in the fact that I know what it is and that it will pass. Come teatime I'm back in the land of the living.
So, where does it come from?
Post Traumatic Stress disorder (PTSD) – is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/basics/definition/con-20022540
Panic Attack – The sudden onset of intense apprehension, fear, terror, impending doom, depersonalization, and derealization, occurring in phobias, schizophrenia, and major depression. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/panic-attack
The worst one I can sort of half remember was the night before my release. Was having a chat with my probation officer. Saying our goodbyes. Then it hit me. My probation officer was horrified and in tears. My probation officer told me what happened as I have no recollection of it. All I can really remember is the fear of exploding and asking to go to the SEG. Apparently my eyes rolled in my head, I went sheet white, lay on the floor and started trembling. It passed and I was able to spend a sleepless night laying on top of my bed waiting for the dawn to come. Ironically I'm editing that part of my book at present but strangely it's all a bit of a blur.
My prison time has become a bit of a blur until I watch programmes like HMP Norwich aired on ITV last night. It's the little things that stir me (and many other people who have been to prison), the things a TV programme cannot tell you, the images that trigger smell, feelings and emotion of that old time and place chestnut.
The new guy putting pictures up on his wall. What was not shown is the scraping off the wall the dried toothpaste used by previous occupant. Toothpaste is blue tack in prison. Most prison do not allow you to put stuff on the wall as a small notice board is provided. The security notion of prison being that covering any part of a wall can hide a tunnel or escape attempt of some sort. Too much Shawshank me thinks.
The guy being put on basic after stealing clothing from his workplace. The ease of which twenty two hour bang up is accepted. Yet, in most prisons if you cannot get a job or education course one is on twenty two hour bang up anyway. If you are lucky enough to be in a cell on your own – is this not solitary confinement. In most prisons food has been reallocated in policy whereby the prison only has to provide one hot meal a day. This means that a breakfast and lunch pack can be given the night before and they don't have to let you out until the following night for your one hot meal. You want to try juggling that lot when you have to walk up three flights of old Victorian stairs. A one way system is imposed at feeding time – an HMP version of Ikea. Standing at the grill (The bars that segregate the servery) with blue plastic, bowl and cup hoping you've been let out early enough to get a decent place in the queue.
The compulsory wearing of prison clothes for the first two weeks in any prison. A further addition to Goffman's stripping of personal identity and becoming an institutional number see http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1982/pdf/1982-v11n04-p267.pdf
The blue mattresses piled high in the store room. Blue mattresses are normally used in police cells and SEG blocks. The standard HMP issue mattresses are white and made of… Actually, I don't know what they are made of. What I do know is that they are approximately four inches thick and end up being nothing thick depending on the size and weight of said prisoner. Prison mattresses can only be reissued very six months or a year depending on local prison policy. This must be a fantastic contract for the supplier of mattresses as the need is perpetual and costs HMP an absolute fortune. The reality is that you spend most of your time sleeping on a metal shelf with a bit of cloth to cover it. Most prisoners stock pile towels etc to try and get some semblance of softness. Over a period of six years my hips still ache. The memory (not memory foam) still haunts me and I so appreciated my lovely mattress when I climbed into bed last night.
Then there's the in cell kettle. Here in Northern Ireland, prisoners are still not allowed in cell kettles as boiling water can be used to attack staff and other prisoners. Lock up here involves the cry from a member of staff 'hot water' and the ensemble traipse to a boiler and fill up flask for the night and morning ahead. Hot water is not normally hot come morning.
The Listener smoking on his way to visits and walking onto a block. That is a hanging offence in most jails as the prison cell is the only designated area where a prisoner can smoke. And, we are all aware that this is being made illegal.
There is so much more I could go on about but I want to get back to the question about PTSD et al. In its duty of care toward prisoners and staff prisoners must be checked at night to make sure all is safe and well. This involves a torch being shone into a darkened cell or light being switched on. In England and Wales it was infrequent and only really used if you were deemed as 'at risk' or under some sort of security observation. Here, in Northern Ireland it used to be every hour on the hour. After a Judicial review I got this reduced to three times a night. In simple terms what this means is that a prisoner will not get one nights uninterrupted sleep for the length of their sentence.
I served my first two years in England and last four in Northern Ireland. This then leads to a plethora of questions. How does one survive the day in prison without the aid of a good night's sleep? How can a human being be expected to function without the biological need for sleep? What psychological damage does this long term duty of care/institutional need have on a person who has been to prison? I'm sure, like me, many others are still feeling the repercussions many years after their release.
Prison is a horrible place. It's meant to be. Last night's programme was a sad attempt to demonstrate the good things that can happen in prison. Story Book Dad's is a fantastic concept and gives Fathers (and Mothers) hope. Visits are essential but in reality the trauma of going to and from visits for both prisoner and family is a psychological nightmare.
I don't know how long these panic attacks will plague me but at the very least I understand them and know that they will pass. What about the people who have been to prison who don't know what they are? How do they cope? Back to more of the same me thinks and the repetitive cycle of drink, drugs and self harm. I craved all of the afore mentioned, all at the same time for about an hour yesterday. It passed. Therein lie the rehabilitative affects of imprisonment.
I'm off to vote! Please don't start me on that one.

Winter Weddings {snow bunnies don't sweat they melt} | Denver Wedding Photographer
One day I'd love to specialize in denver and colorado winter weddings, because I absolutely love snow. While I do admit I love a warm day playing outside in the sun, I cannot deny that my heart leaps with joy when snow begins to fall. Yesterday was a pretty warm day out and I was out scoping out a location for a shoot soon and I was sweating like I was on a treadmill in a heated room. I then decided snow bunnies don't sweat they melt. I tried to tweet this in excitement and my dyslexia took over because it read " sweating us snow bunnies melting." ...erh...now you know what I meant. haha
Even though it wasn't snowing during this wedding, I was on cloud nine because I was in the snow.
This post was very random, but I hope at least you giggled a little or smiled because of the pretty snow. :)
