Generic Food List with Points for Weight Watchers
it would be nice to have on my email all the weight watcher points so when i am on the go.
everything food wise and points of ….hope it helps
This is not PointsPlus. If you compare this to the WW generic guide, you will see that some of these are 2 or 3 points less or more than their new values. I still use this but I never use my 49 weekly so it doesn't matter. But if you use those weekly you may want to stick to WW's pocket guides.

Product Description
This is an exceptional strain that has been adapted to life at 59° north, wet conditions, cool summers, and snow packed winters over the last 10 years. Nancy's original seed stock came from the renown Abundant Life Seed Foundation in Washington which is no longer in operation. White Russian was the sole survivor during two flood years in Frank Morton's trials. Fedco claims that it is a third more productive than Red Russian. High Mowing voted it the best tasting kale by their farm crew. There has been countless success overwintering it amongst Haines gardeners over the years. White Russian is a true workhorse vegetable and this strain is ready for life in the far north.
Some variation has been found in leaf shape, representing the less lobed leaves of a traditional Siberian Kale. We have not found this variation to affect plant flavor or vigor. We look forward to cleaning up this adapted strain so it is true to type in the future. Rogue off types to help with this process for personal seed stock.

So i tried the driver verified without having esl wire in my computer, no problem to startup this time, so i started to test one thing, i did go to my logtech driver software, and nothing happened but when i got to that i can take pictures with my cam in the logtiech sofware i waited 5 sec and ye guess what, bluescreen of death, so next time i did was run the computer again, started skype and there in settings, and there to settings for webcam, waited 5 sec, bsod again.
Seems like i was getting bsod both because of esl wire and logitech driver, make sense because i allways install the cam when i format becouse i use it as my game microphone and for skype.
So heres the dump for both bsod,

It's just a very common cause of crashes related to usb devices has to do with drivers and how they communicate with the windows power management stuff. Anyhow, ... assuming the logitech item is a usb device.

Driving a car on train tracks is normally a bad idea, unless that car is the O' personal mobility concept. The O' personal mobility concept was created by Davide Bonanni Design as a way to give Italy's old railroad tracks new life.
Some of Italy's old railway tracks have found new life becoming bicycle lane markers and other things. But the majority are rusting away in landfills serving no purpose whatsoever. The O' personal mobility concept would put these old tracks to good use by turning them into a single-seat vehicle. O' is designed to be used on both conventional roads and railroad tracks which should help alleviate roadway congestion. Using scrap metal to create new vehicles is a great way to instantly green a country. Sharing a track with a train would be slightly scary though.

We usually feel we know where places are, or we have a good idea where they are; if we don't, we can look them up. Ultimately we can point to them on a map. We might even talk about 'pin-pointing' them.
I feel comfortable with the idea of pointing to London on a map. I should do; I live there. But what, exactly, am I pointing at? My finger might come to rest on an area that roughly covers the middle of the city. That seems perfectly acceptable. But is that London? It will probably be more like 'Inner London' or maybe what's referred to as the 'City of London'. What about 'Outer London'? Or even 'Greater London'? Aren't all of these areas relevant? As entities they are each officially recognised in the Index of Place Names in Great Britain (IPN) published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). So if the ONS can count them, then surely they must count!
On the other hand, if I search for 'London' in Google Maps I am presented with a default view that stretches from Potters Bar in the north to Sutton in the south and from Slough in the west to Romford in the east. Is all of that London? According to the ONS, Potters Bar is in the county of Hertfordshire, Sutton is in Surrey, Slough is in Buckinghamshire and Romford is in Essex.
The Google Maps view does also 'pin-point' London: a helpful red marker hovers over a very precise spot with a grid reference of 51.528308,-0.3817765. If you scroll in you discover that 'London' can be found just next to the statue of Charles I at the Trafalgar Square end of Whitehall! Continue reading »


text: there is an article on goCyclones about the defense and the lack of speed it has. At least Wally understands that there are some real limitation to what the defense can do and he is trying to eliminate fundimental things from last year, like tackling and being in the right place at the right time. I think that Bolt knew what he was doing, he just didn't have the guys to do it. Wally at least seems to understand that you have to build the defense with the guys you have rather than building it on the guys you wish you had. :no:

Health, Education And Economic Growth In Malaysia
Human capital is vital for the development of a country. Investment in human capital ranges from basic needs expenditure to education and health provision. Economic growth is often used to measure the progress and development of a country. Today other indicators are used to emphasize physical quality of life, for example, education, health and basic needs provision. Using a simultaneous equation model, this paper estimates the relationship between economic growth and human capital variables including education, health and expenditure to enhance human capital possession. The paper aims to prove that economic growth and human capital variables are inter-related. The findings of this study can be used to generate concrete policy reform suggestions and also as a possible example for other developing countries.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) – A Knoxville real estate company with more than four decades of history is changing hands. A new person is now in control at Wood Properties.
"I started with Pat Wood in 1972 and a few years later we formed Wood Properties," said Jerry Daves.
Daves has been at the head since the beginning, but now he is handing over the reigns to another, George Brown.
"I'm really excited. This company has got such a great history in this community. The reason I came to work here back in 2008 was because I knew of the company growing up in Maryville, just knew the reputation, knew the character," Brown said.
In his years with the company, Daves has seen a lot of changes not only in the real estate market but in the city of Knoxville itself. Commercial and residential real estate booming downtown.
"There's been a lot of retail development, been a lot of development out west obviously, but downtown has really surged in the last decade," he said.
That is a change from not so long ago.
"I would walk out on Market Square back in '99-2000 and see all these boarded up buildings on Market Square and think, 'Gosh look at these beautiful buildings. Why are they sitting here empty? Why is it like this?'" Brown said.
While Downtown Knoxville has come a long way in the past several decades they say they still want to see more growth and more positive changes in here in the downtown area.
"We are much more on the radar than we used to be, and that's retailers, restaurants," Brown said.
Brown believes the next wave of development will happen in places like North Central, Magnolia Avenue, Sevier Avenue, and South Knoxville.
Daves sees more development happening in other areas too.
"It'll move north and northwest I think as far as continued development in the geographic area and of course it continues to grow west," Daves said.
So as Brown takes over a company that has a legacy in our city, he is hopeful for the future of it and of Knoxville.
"It's just so important for tourism, for residential, for the business growth in Knoxville. Downtown needs to be a great place and it is," he said.

During a large scale crackdown on illegal expatriates, two people have been killed in clashes in Saudi Arabia, police said on Sunday.
Police said they intervened in the fighting on Saturday. Conflict was rising in the Manfuhah neighborhood of Riyadh after foreigners rioted attacking Saudi and other foreign residents with rocks and knives.
In a statement carried out by the SPA state news, police reported that one Saudi and another person, whose nationality and identity remains unknown, were killed.
Overall, 561 people were arrested. Another 68 people were injured, 28 Saudis and 40 foreigners.
The majority of residents of the Manfuhah district are migrants from East Africa.
On reports that one of the people killed was Ethiopian, the Ethiopian government said on Saturday it was repatriating citizens who hadn't met the deadline after the seven-month amnesty expired.
"They were trying to get them in the camp before repatriation and in that process... an Ethiopian has been killed with a police bullet, but we are verifying it," foreign ministry spokesman Dina Mufti told AFP in Addis Ababa.
In efforts to lessen the violence, illegal migrants in Manfuhah have been given the chance to come forward and accommodation has been made available while their repatriation is arranged, stated Saudi police.
The categories in which illegal workers fall under varies in Saudi. Some have simply overstayed their tourist visas or are pilgrims seeking jobs. Others are shop assistants and day laborers working for someone other than their sponsor.
Official sponsorship is a requirement in Saudi Arabia and most other Gulf states.
Nearly a million migrants spanning a mix of countries from Bangladesh, Philippines, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Yemen among them took the opportunity during the amnesty to leave.
Freelance labor has taken a sharp fall as many illegal workers were able to find employees to hire them in sponsored job however; doing so virtually emptied the market of cheap labor.
Expatriates account for almost one third of the Saudi kingdom's population of 27 million.

Glamis Castle
Glamis castle offers a real flavour of Scottish History. It has been the family home of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne since 1372, and was the childhood home of HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. The mile long drive through the park, landscaped in the style of Capability Brown, offers breathtaking views of the Castle. Glamis has three formal gardens, The Dutch Garden, The Walled and the Italian Garden.
The walled garden, formally the kitchen garden has recently undergone a major redevelopment with new flower beds being planted and the installation of a spectacular fountain. The beautiful Italian Garden, to the east of the castle, laid out by Countess Cecilia, c.1910 and bounded by yew hedges, offers quiet seclusion with wonderful views of the castle.
Walking eastwards you enter The Pinetum. This area, planted by the 13th Earl in 1864, has a variety of exotic trees, many of which are conifers native to North America. Following difficulties in maintaining the Pinetum for some years, the 18th Earl commenced a programme of replanting and restoration.

Disagree with his issues? Fine, but dont spin an unrelated issue. Its not on him.
There is a High School debating rule that if you bring Hitler into the debate or WW2 you automatically lose the contest.
We've been through the "Bush = Hitler" debate on these threads before, and though I don't think you are doing that, needless to say the popular consensus was that Bush and Hitler are not comparable people at all.
supporting someone because they are your "elected" leader, regardless of what they do, when you disagree with them, is insane.
How do you debate in high school without being able to mention Hitler?
--Alec MacGillisAs if Ron Paul's supporters needed any more motivation to storm the battlements and wreak havoc on the Republican presidential primary, now comes this: the feds are trying to take away their money.
Federal agents on Wednesday raided the Evansville, Indiana headquarters of the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Codes (NORFED), an organization of "sound money" advocates that for the past decade has been selling what it calls Liberty Dollars, a private currency it says is backed by silver and gold stored in Idaho, with a total of more than $20 million in circulation, according to the group.
NORFED officials said yesterday that the raid occurred just as they were preparing to mail out the first batch of about 60,000 "Ron Paul Dollars," copper coins sold for $1 and decorated with the craggy visage of Paul, the libertarian Texas congressman, Iraq war opponent and sound-money advocate who has sparked a surprisingly vigorous insurgent campaign for the GOP nomination. The group says that it in recent months it already shipped out about 10,000 in silver Ron Paul dollars that sold for $20.
Bernard von NotHaus, NORFED's founder and executive director, said in an interview from his home in Miami Friday night that his employees in Evansville had received the copper dollars late last week and managed to mail out only about 3,500 of them so far. After a six-hour raid, he said, the agents left with the rest of the coins, which weighed about two tons total, as well as smaller amounts of silver Ron Paul dollars, gold Ron Paul dollars that sell for $1,000 and platinum Ron Paul dollars that sell for $2,000. There was a separate raid, NotHaus said, of Sunshine Mint in Coer D'Alene, Idaho, a company that prints the organization's coins, where von NotHaus said agents seized the huge pallets of silver and gold worth more than $1 million that the organization says back the paper certificates issued to its customers.
"They took everything, all of the computers, everything but the desks and chairs," said von NotHaus, who says he served 25 years as the mintmaster for the Royal Hawaiian Mint. "The federal government really is afraid."
The Indianapolis branch of the FBI declined to comment on the raid and referred calls to the U.S. Attorney's office for Western North Carolina in Charlotte. That office's spokeswoman, Suellen Pierce, also declined to comment. But bloggers at the libertarian Reason Foundation posted on-line a 35-page copy affidavit for a search warrant filed last week with the Western District in Asheville laying out the government's case against NORFED. Pierce said that the search warrant in the case had been accidentally made public by a court clerk and has since been sealed, under court rules.
In the affidavit, an FBI special agent states that he is investigating NORFED for federal violations including "uttering coins of gold, silver, or other metal," "making or possessing likeness of coins," mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. "The goal of NORFED is to undermine the United States government's financial systems by the issuance of a non-governmental competing currency for the purpose of repealing the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Code," he states.
The agent states that the investigation started two years ago. And the U.S. Mint a year ago issued a warning against using the Liberty Dollar, prompting a lawsuit by NORFED. But that has not kept Liberty Dollar fans from speculating on-line that the raid was prompted by Paul's strong campaign -- which recently raised more than $4 million in a single day -- or by the precipitous recent decline in the value of the dollar.
A Paul campaign spokeswoman, Kerri Price, said yesterday that while Paul also supports abolishing the Federal Reserve, the campaign "does not have any affiliation with Liberty Dollars at all." von NotHaus confirmed this, saying that he knows Paul because they "move in the same circles" but that he had expressly not talked with Paul about his plans for the special coins so as not to violate federal election rules.
But the coins have been another rallying point for Paul's supporters, who have asked Paul to pose for photographs with the coins on the campaign trail. Jim Forsythe, a Paul organizer in New Hampshire who ordered 150 of the copper Ron Paul dollars, said yesterday that the seizure of the coins would likely fuel more support for Paul, who scores close to double-digits in some New Hampshire polls. "People are pretty upset about this," he said. "The dollar is going down the tubes and this is something that can protect the value of their money and the Federal Reserve is threatened by that. It'll definitely fire people up."
Von NotHaus, meanwhile, is urging Liberty Dollar supporters to express their outrage by donating to Paul, saying on the group's Web site that "in light of this assault on our financial freedom, it is clear that we need Ron Paul to lead this country more than ever." He said that all of his bank accounts have been frozen and that he expects that a federal indictment will soon be in the offing, saying that "once the federal government starts an investigation like this and takes it to a grand jury, they can indict a ham sandwich." Should he be charged, he said, "I'll turn it into my golden opportunity to validate the Liberty Dollar as a legal lawful currency and save the country from a monetary collapse."
What he's most concerned about for now, though, is the thought of all his customers waiting for their Ron Paul dollars. "People aren't going to get their orders, and they aren't going to get them for a while," he said.
That is good news, of course, for those already holding the coins. On eBay, the silver Ron Paul dollars that were purchased for $20 were selling for more than $170 last night.
A very well written piece by the WaPo...Just unbelievable
The commentary section is excellent also....News of a federal raid last week on a "sound money" outfit that is selling "Ron Paul Dollars," reported in Saturday's Post, is generating no end of quips in the blogosphere about what this development says about the Paul campaign's eye-popping recent fundraising success. Wags ask: How much of that record $4.2 million one-day haul that Paul collected earlier this month actually came in the form of dubloons imprinted with Paul's face, not U.S. legal tender?
But these jokes may be missing the point entirely. In fact, the lack of confidence that many Paul supporters have in U.S. currency may well be one reason why they are sending so many of their greenbacks to Paul's campaign, and thereby making his outsider libertarian bid for the Republican presidential nomination a force to be reckoned with. For sound-money supporters who fear a coming collapse in the value of the dollar, it makes eminent sense to send a few hundred dollars to the one candidate who is arguing for a monetary revolution, instead of simply watching that money rapidly crumble in value.
As Exhibit A, consider Peter Schiff, a financial adviser and sound-money advocate whose Connecticut firm, Euro Pacific Capital, specializes in investing clients' money in overseas assets to spare them what he argues will be a destructive decline in the value of the dollar followed by major deterioration in the U.S. economy. Schiff, who earlier this year published the investment guide "Crash Proof," recently sent out a "call to action" e-mail to the 60,000 people in his database urging them to send the $2,300 maximum-allowed contribution to Paul's campaign, describing this as one of the most productive uses for their rapidly fading U.S. dollars.
"If you are fortunate enough to be one of my clients, writing a $2,300 check should not be a problem. As I have likely made you tons of money over the years, here is an opportunity to donate some of it to a worthy cause. We have made our money by betting against the U.S and betting against the dollar. Giving $2,300 of our winnings to Ron Paul gives us the opportunity to bet ON America for a change. And it's a bet none of us can afford to lose, and the best part about it is that if we all make this bet together we can't lose," Schiff wrote in the e-mail. "My penchant for foreign investments has from time to time caused some of my critics to label me unpatriotic. While such attacks are clearly out of line, using some of our foreign profits to secure the election of Ron Paul goes a long way toward defusing such allegations. If you are not a client and you think $2,300 is a lot of money, it's not. In fact, if Ron Paul is not our next President, such a sum will be practically worthless by the end of the term of whoever is. So what do you have to lose? Just write the check and hope for the best."
In an interview today, Schiff said he expects that the federal raid on the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Code had added more weight to his argument for giving to the Paul campaign. "The federal government is debasing the currency and then it comes in and punishes people who are doing something to protect themselves," he said. "The fact that these guys would come in and raid this organization shows how much they've got to fear from this. If more and more people start shunning the currency, it takes away from their power."
Norfed, which is based in Evansville, Ind., says that in the last decade it has put into circulation more than $20 million in "Liberty Dollars," metal medallions and paper certificates that it says are backed by silver and gold stored in Idaho. The group's founder and director, Bernard von NotHaus, says that federal agents seized more than 50,000 copper "Ron Paul Dollars" that the group was selling for $1, in addition to smaller amounts of silver Ron Paul Dollars that sold for $20, gold ones that went for $1,000 and platinum ones that went for $2,000. Agents also raided the Idaho minting company that makes the organization's medallions, seizing the huge pallets of silver and gold stored there, von NotHaus said.
The FBI and U.S. Attorney's office in western North Carolina, which is handling the case, have declined to comment on the raids, but an affidavit filed in Asheville earlier this month describes a two-year long undercover investigation of the group, based partly on evidence obtained by an informant who posed as someone wanting to become a regional associate for the group. The affidavit states the group is being investigated for federal violations including "uttering coins of gold, silver or other metal" and "making of possessing likenesses of coins." "The goal of Norfed is to undermine the United States goverment's financial systems by the issuance of a non-governmental competing currency," the affidavit states.
This argument met with ridicule over the weekend from the prolific on-line network of Ron Paul supporters and sound money advocates, some of whom sarcastically predicted that the feds would next be going after Disneyworld for selling "Disney Dollars" for use inside the amusement park. "Here is a Mickey Mouse coin issued by that criminal, separatist organization, the Walt Disney Corporation. Did someone fail Common Sense 101?" wrote one commenter on the Post's Web site, offering a link to an image of the offending Mickey dubloon. Wrote another, "With commemorative coins advertised in every Sunday newspaper, and given the Donald Duck silver coins sold at Disney Land, this is an obvious attack on Ron Paul, a legitimate Presidential candidate, by the Federal Government. I am going to respond by going to Ron Paul's web site, easily found with Google, and giving $100 today."
Lawrence White, an economics professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, said Liberty Dollar supporters had a point in charging overreaction on the part of the federal government. The question to be asked of Liberty Dollars, he said, is whether they make any sense for customers to buy -- while the certificates may offer a hedge for those convinced that the dollar will go in the tank, they come with the obvious downside that it is difficult to find others willing to accept the Liberty Dollars as a legal tender (though not in Berryville, Ark., where, according to the chamber of commerce, about half of the town's 80 merchants accept Liberty Dollars.)But that choice should be up to Americans to make, White said. "Unless they think people are being defrauded, it seems absurd to me," he said of the raid."The public ought to have a choice. Thank goodness we have an alternative to the post office."
A spokesman for the U.S. Mint responded to questions today by pointing reporters to the "consumer alerts" portion of its Web site, which carries warnings against using Liberty Dollars alongside warnings against mistaking as legitimate currency coins including: "Silver surfer" quarters created to help market the Fox movie "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer"; a "Freedom Tower Silver Dollar" originating from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; and an "Elvis Presley 25th Anniversary Tennessee State Quarter Tribute."
A Paul campaign spokesman, Jesse Benton, today reiterated that the campaign has no connection with the Ron Paul Dollars (though supporters have taken pictures of grinning Paul next to the coins.) He said the campaign is seeing an "uptick" in Web site visits and contributions following reports of the raid. The real test of the campaign's fundraising strength, though, will come next month, when supporters are organizing another one-day fundraising "bomb" timed with the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.
Von NotHaus is doing his part, urging on his Web site (which he says has seen a huge spike in traffic) that supporters respond to the raid by contributing to Paul, as well as urging them to sign up as part of a class-action lawsuit against the federal government over the coin seizures. He is biding his time at his home in Miami, expecting to be arrested and indicted sometime in the near future. In fact, he said today that he is kind of hoping that the government makes its move sooner than later, so eager is he to make a stand on the part of sound money theories.
"I'm sure I'm going to be arrested, and I'd be disappointed if I'm not," he said. "I want to get going. I think it's going to be exciting."

How To Keep Your Pet's Teeth Clean
Did you know February is National Pet Dental Month? While it's a great time to learn how to protect your furry friend's teeth, it's essential to their health to keep up with oral care year round. Let's get started!
Teeth Brushing
Yes, just like you, your pet needs their teeth brushed. While it may seem like a difficult task, it's worth the effort! Visit your local pet store to find toothpaste and a toothbrush specifically made for your type of pet. You want the brush to be small enough to fit in their mouth, but large enough so you can hold it in place. If you can recruit someone to help you, this will make your job much easier! Have one person hold the pet, then with one hand open their mouth and start brushing from back to front. We recommend choosing one or two days per week to brush your pet's teeth and keep them on a routine schedule.
If your dog is hesitant to the idea of teeth brushing, you can get them started with just chewing on the toothbrush. With this method, apply toothpaste, and place the brush at the back of their mouth and let them gently gnaw on the brush. Once they adjust to this, you're able to start full mouth brushing.
Food/Water Additives
There are many supplements you can add to your pet's food to promote a healthy mouth. PlaqueOff is one of many. This is a kelp-based powder that goes directly onto your pet's food once a day. As your furry child chews his or her food, the powder will rub against their teeth and clean simultaneously. There is also an available human-grade version of PlaqueOff should you decide to join in the fun!
Another option is to add Tropiclean's Fresh Breath supplement to your pet's water. It prevents tartar and plaque buildup daily– they won't even know they're drinking it!
Dental Chews
This is an area you want to be very careful when treating your pet. Unfortunately, many companies falsely advertise the benefits of their dental chews. Due to the ingredients, they do more harm than good and will actually cause plaque and tartar to build up. In addition, they can cause severe stomach/digestive issues and can be fatal. Some basic ingredients to avoid are corn, soy, wheat, gluten and any by-product.
However, there are many healthy alternative choices for dental chews! Elk horns/antlers are awesome and the most natural choice you can make. You can buy these at many pet food stores or even on Amazon. While your dog chews, the elk horn will soften and the friction will help shave off plaque and tartar. Another trick is to soak the elk horn overnight in sodium free chicken or beef broth. We only suggest elk horns for adult pups, as it can be too rough for dogs with baby teeth. And don't worry, these horns naturally fall off elk during their shedding season so no animal cruelty is involved!
If your pet does not enjoy elk horns, there are some healthier dental chew options. Tropiclean and Zuke's are great places to start. Though these seem like a treat, you want to only feed your pet these chews about 2-3 times per week. Keep an eye on the ingredients for items your dog may be allergic to. If you're not sure what to check for, read through our blog on healthy pet food!
As with any sort of pet care routine, it's best to get started at an early age if possible! This allows your pet to become accustomed to foreign objects. You can do all of these dental routine options at the same time, but if you are going to choose one, brushing is the most essential. Pet teeth usually tend to deteriorate with age, so always ensure your vet checks out their teeth at each check-up!
Do you have a furry companion? Share their picture in the comments below and let us know how you keep up with their dental health!

This month. we asked our regular contributors to write about the feminist books that they love—books that struck a chord, for one reason or another, books they couldn't put down, that they'll never donate, that are underlined and dog-eared and bookmarked eternally, that you can maybe borrow, but you most definitely have to give back. First up is Hanna on The Cutmouth Lady:
Urban legends, awkward crushes, high school, sneaking out to the wrong side of town…. Sounds like the makings of a typical coming-of-age story. But add a basically-orphaned Seattle girl sent to Japan to attend a strict Catholic school while living with a distant family friend above a bar, and you've got The Cutmouth Lady. A friend gifted this book to me when I was 24, and upon reading it, I immediately felt so much longing and a deep regret that my teenage self hadn't had this to read on train ride escapes into NYC on the weekends.

Aurore Trailer (1989)
01 January 1989 20 mins
To describe the events spreading out in Aurore, in Royaume and in Bleu, suitable tools still have to be found ; up until now, nothing much has been said or done about a cinema that quite specifically deals with picture as a sensation. Then one can always attempt, as plainly as possible, to draw a few lines, trying to single out a few dimensions, a few questions, a few perspectives that run through these films and relate them to the history of pictures and cinema.
Watch the official Aurore 1989 trailer in HD below or find more Aurore videos on Vidimovie.

From my very first photo shoot. The model is the beautiful Francesca.
I always felt ambiguous about Cinderella; on the one hand I love the romance of it and the hope, on the other I detest the fact that her happiness relies on others – the Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming… I've always preferred the Czech film version, Three Wishes for Cinderella, I watched as a child. In this Cinderella takes and active role and is the driving force in getting her life sorted and getting what she wants, and the prince isn't it, at least not in the beginning. LOL :-)
This shot depicts that one perfect moment we all hope for….

Rebecca Wise Girson Art Blog
Thoughts on Calling Myself an "Artist"
by rebeccawisegirson , March 31, 2009—12:00 AM
At what point did you finally refer to yourself as an "artist"? Was it when you graduated from art school? Was it when you sold your first piece? Or was it when you sold enough that you took the leap and left your "day job" so you could pursue your art full time?
As an artist with a day job, I struggle with actually calling myself an "artist". For example, when meeting new people who ask me what I do, I immediately tell them that I manage a solutions engineering department for a software company. Blank stares usually follow. I assume it's because they either a)have no earthly idea what I'm talking about or b) they're still trying to wrap their heads around me having any form of the word "engineer" in my job title (hey-I have business cards to prove it!). Whatever the case, it would probably be a lot easier if I introduced myself as an artist but I never do. Is it because I have no business cards to back up my claim? Maybe it's because of the way the question is usually framed..."What do you do for a LIVING?" The word "LIVING" indicates making "MONEY". Is it because I make more money with my day job than with my art that I struggle with defining myself as an artist?
I know I shouldn't worry about putting a label on myself. What I do to make money does not define me as a person. I am much more than what I do for money, though sometimes I lose sight of that. If it wasn't for needing an outlet to cope with the stress of my day job, I may never have started painting in the first place. My day job, not my art, is what currently pays for the paint and the canvas I paint on. My day job has enabled me to see the world on someone else's dime and that has had a huge impact on my art. And though it frustrates the hell out of me some days (Ok, most days), I have to admit that I truly thank God for my day job!
So what must I do to feel more comfortable with calling myself an artist? I mean, am I not an artist simply because I create? That alone should be enough (but I'd better get some business cards to prove it).

I have struggled for many years with this myself. One day, not long ago, I found myself giving my typical answer, 'I want to be an artist' or one of many versions thereof. I am not sure what made the difference that day, but I stopped mid-sentence and answered very simply, I AM an artist. After that moment, there is no hesitation in answering and quite frankly, it feels good!

My day job business card says "World Renowned Expert - Tbd"... It does not say what kind of expertise I have, and it could be just about anything! As artists, we want to create and get out what we are feeling inside, but we also have to pay bills, eat, and have health insurance.. Sad realities of life? The Starving artist image is a myth. I think having a day job opens your universe, broadens your circle of friends and multiplies acquaintances. The main thing is to keep focusing on the creating part of our lives, and continue to do so.
It is also essential to have FUN at what you do, day job or other! Change it if you don't!

The idea that one isn't an artist because they have a day job is wrongheaded thinking. A real artist will find some way to continue making the art no matter what . To be able to heat, eat and pay bills is very necessary. No one really cares how an artist lives or works. The proof is in the end product.
One has to be secure enough in the discipline to say they are an artist.
I have been an artist for over forty years.

Identifying myself as an artist, took a few firsts. The first first was showing a painting to someone outside the family. The second, was entering a piece in an art exhibition. The third, was exhibiting as an artist at a local arts festival. The fourth was being accepted by a gallery.
The selling of my art work helped support the identity as an artist. Acceptance by other artists further established the identity.

Mary is dead right.
I know lots of people who have the label 'full-time artist' but they all have support systems..ie..full-time working spouse!
I dont have any financial support system..therefor I do have a full-time day job and I paint at night and weekends when I can. I paint prodigiously and it no one guesses that I have a day job too and are shocked when they learn the truth - almost as if it demaeans in someway my standing as an artist.
I do regard myself as an artist though.
I do have an artist business card and website. I write articles for art magazine, do public painting demonstations. Have solo exhibitions and have sold well. Damn right I'm an artist. In fact I considered myself such well before I became successful!
Get those cards printed!
( homepage )
03/31/2009 * 14:36:32
The point that you reach in your life where you start calling yourself an artist is when you feel comfortable and confident saying it without a following disclaimer. Many of us have more than one job, or a support system in a spouse or partner that provides us with health insurance, and a "steady" income.
I do lots of things, too many really but I got tired of explaining the maze of that and now I just say "Artist".
Everyone assumes you are a painter, which I am not. So I sometimes have to say "Collage Artist" or "Calligrapher" which also gets met with blank expressions. Much like when I say that I do marketing, search engine optimization and social media for an online gallery and community for artists. Basically you are going to have to further explain something.
I'm tempted sometimes to say "Sky Diving Instructor" or "Cashier at KMart" just to see the response, spoken or otherwise.
Right now my business cards reads "Makes Executive Decisions Without Authority". I don't know, have fun with it.
03/31/2009 * 11:06:58
Ask Annie (Steiner). She's an artist, but she also has her ArtID business card, which proclaims her a "World Renowned Expert". It declines to be specific. Actually, though you shouldn't need cards to call yourself an artist, they do a world of good toward having people take you seriously.

I worked at Aquilent full-time (More than a year)
HR team was great! Some of my former co-workers were top notch. A few interesting projects and decent work. Nothing cutting edge for sure and only the long time employees get a shot at the good work despite some of their lack of high end work experience.
It is a good ole boy atmosphere. Great if you like that sort of management style and coworker attitude. Not everyone, but the long time employees there are very reluctant to engage newer employees. I was told it was because they let go new people when there isn't enough work which is often. Very stifling office atmosphere in Laurel as not many people talk to one another and the location is ghetto. A lot of promises made but very little kept by management and they go after work without the talent to perform the work. A sweatshop in disguise and once I figured that out I got out. It is the trailer park of IT service companies.
Advice to Management
Where do I start? You should know something is wrong with your approach when there is such a high turnover rate.
I worked at Aquilent full-time (More than 10 years)
- Ability to own your job. No micro-management here.
- Fun atmosphere with lots of activities after hours
- Knowledgeable co-workers helps to get the job done in a quality way
- Slow hiring process makes it difficult to staff up when needed
- Short-staffed for "non-billable" type of work such as proposals and BD makes it difficult if that is part of your job
Advice to Management

Kenya Blog
Kikambala Travel Blog› entry 1 of 7 › view all entries
October 1st, 2009 – by: jock8186
Ok, this was a big talking point with everyone. Do you stick to the hotel? Do you trust the beach boys? Do you trust local companies? Do you book before you go?
The best thing I can advise is do the RESEARCH before you go. The way I went about it was by emailing every local Kenyan company advised for Tsavo east and west safari's on Trip advisor. Email all the companies in the same email, stating clearly where you want to go, how many nights, what kind of vehicle (Jeep or mini-van, I recommend the mini-van) and off course the price and dates. The reasons I say send them all the same email at the same time is so that each company can see that it is competing with many others straight away. This will cut out any one on one haggling and basically beat them at their own game. Wait for them all to reply (give a couple of days as computer access to even consider "well off" is limited. Compare the prices and take the cheapest few, now that you have narrowed it down to a few, compare the company reputation reviews on trip advisor and make your choice from there.
I can't recommend the company I went with highly enough. There name is First African Dream Safaris (FADS). They are run by a man called "Mike Musyoka". Mike impressed me by first of all being extremely prompt in answering my emails and queries that I had before I arrived. He agreed to meet my exact needs for the safari and gave an excellent price. Once the Safari was agreed in principle via email, I met up with Mike just at the gates of the hotel on the day of my arrival. He them gave me and verbal overview of what to expect on the safari and also introduced me to the driver who was to take us (Paul). This was all exceptionally done and very professional (by Kenya standards) All that was now needed was a £100 deposit for the safari and the rest to be paid on the day of departure (1week into our holiday).
On the day of departure Paul our driver turned up precisely on time 0600 (in fact he was about half an hour early). He was extremely friendly and made my partner and I comfortable with him from the start. Straight away he started to educate us in Kenyan culture, talking us through the history of all the little villages we were going through on our way to the National parks (Tsavo East&West). On route to the parks we stopped of at various road side shops which had toilet facilities and places to buy gifts, water, sweets ECT…
The first park we entered was Tsavo West. Tsavo west is a lot more scenic than Tsavo East, however with more bush and a more shapely landscape it did make the animal spotting slightly more difficult. Due to this I am extremely thankful that our driver Paul had an amazing spotting eye. He constantly and consistently found animals lurking around that without his expertise would have simply passed me by. Lunch and dinner was held the accommodation lodge which on the first night was Ngulia safari lodge. In between meals we were out on game drives spotted a wide variety of wild African animals. Paul would explain in thorough details the various animal species along with the different vegetation which was on display.
The lodge itself was stunning. An open restaurant looking over an animal watering hole was a site to be seen. That evening we saw 2 leopards approach the watering hole (about 20metres from lodge wall), elephants, buffalos and poripines.
At night my partner was kept awake by the cackle of Hyena's and the trumpeting of a near by elephant just outside our balcony. Not a bad way to be kept from sleeping eh!
On the second day we made our way to Tsavo East, having a final game drive through Tsavo west (where we spotted our first pride of lions). Once in Tsavo West it was evident that there is a huge difference in the landscape. Tsavo West was more like the "stereotypical" image of the African Safari planes. Vast areas of flat land exposed made animal spotting a lot more easily and frequent. Paul was constantly spotting various game and we were now able to afford the luxury of driving past the more commonly spotted animals in search of the harder ones (Rhino, Cheetah, Lions).
Over the course of that day our excellent driver managed to spot every one of the BIG FIVE. The last animal of the day being the rarest; the black rhino. Making it even more special was it was a black mother rhino walking side by side her calf. This topped off and completed our big five and we retreated back to our lodge. This time we stayed in the Vio Safari lodge. This lodge was a lot more luxurious and comfortable with spectacular scenery and views onto a water hole below the hill in which the lodge was built on.
The food in both lodges was good, perhaps not up to the same standard as the hotel but good none the less. All food is and accom is obviously included in the total safari price paid before departure so you can relax without having to worry about money or bills. Both lodges host spectacular views, and both have little surprises that allow you're to see animals extremely close up. I won't give it away but just trust me your breath will be taken away.
On the last day of our trip we concluded with a final game drive and lunch at another lodge with our driver. Paul our driver and guide never once failed to give up looking for animals, even when my partner and I were "exhausted" on the third day. His enthusiasm and passion for his job was glaringly apparent. He took pride in ensuring that we had a good time and also that we went away with a huge amount of knowledge not only in the animals but in Kenyan history in every sense. He was always polite and courteous and once he dropped us both off back at our hotel safe and sound and on time I made sure he received a good tip. These guys don't get paid much from the company and they do rely on a decent tip from their customers. Paul thoroughly deserved what we had to give and more. For the service he provided, the same comparison and knowledge he expressed would command an exceptional fee. In Kenya, all they look for is enough to get by and live.
That concludes my safari trip. In the few short paragraphs I've wrote I've tried to cram in as much info as possible. However reading back on it I haven't even scratched the surface. You really have got to see and do it to explain how magical the safari trip is. FIRST AFRICAN DREAM SAFARIS (FADS) promised my partner and I a trip of our life, and the certainly were true to their word and more. For contact details see the end of my review.
Once back at the hotel after our safari we had a couple of refreshing and re-energising days by the pool. We didn't stay hidden within the hotel grounds however; we were frequently walking around the local villages just outside our hotel which are completely safe. We also went to Mombassa on a city tour trip, went to the local orphanage, had a few drunken nights in the local bars, and went on a village tour and a trip to Haller Park (a local zoo with animals opening walking around).
All these trips were organised by "Ali". He is the local village tourist guide. He is almost like the godfather of the village. He can arrange to get you anything, take you anywhere at any time. A small slight built man with a beard, he stands just outside office at the hotel gates everyday. You will need to learn how to barter for you trips but that is common practise in this country.
In my opinion do not book anything through the hotel. Its way overpriced and gives you exactly the same deal and trips as the locals. If you have extra money to throw away then fair enough, perhaps paying the hotel would give you that extra security should your trip not turn out to be how you'd wish, but for the average Jo like myself I did and always would book through Ali for local outing.
The beach boys: They are harmless but persistent. They are desperate men in search of much needed work. And that is all they want to do. The cheapest prices can come from them; however they do not hold a tourist license unlike the local guys who site outside the front of the hotel gates. In my opinion, use the beach boys for buying small carving gifts and such. Use them for doing a small sea safari just outside the back of the hotel, but do not use them for booking a safari or any "major" excursions. Not because I feel they are dangerous, because they are mostly very nice and good men, but because they can disappear and come and go as they like. If the trip goes bad you have no point of complaint. Where as the guys outside the hotel rely on that spot for business and will always be there. Plus they are licensed tourist guides.
Ok, I've rambled on for ages but I hope this review helps. I've tried to think about what I would have needed to hear prior to departing. Anything I've missed or need to elaborate on please feel free to send me a message asking.
In conclusion I like to say Kenya is an Amazing country. However respect the fact that is also a 3rd world country. You will see things that will break your heart, and you will see things that will amaze your for the rest of your life. Treat the Kenyan people how you'd like to be treated, but be firm and use your wits to determine which people see you as a walking cash machine and which are passionate about what they do.

Deryck Whibley of Sum 41 Talks "Screaming Bloody Murder" and More
Mon, 07 Feb 2011 07:36:24
Sum 41 Photos
Sum 41 Videos
It's been over three years since we've heard from Canada's Sum 41, musically speaking. The band, which began as a pop punk outfit, has grown up and made the darkest, most aggressive rock record of its career since then. Singer/guitarist Deryck Whibley, who became more famous for being married to (and subsequently divorced from) pop punk princess Avril Lavigne than for his musical output in the interim, is ready for Sum 41 to come back to the forefront. With thousands of fans still turning up at Sum 41 shows and an overall "Fuck You" attitude implicit (and explicit) in Screaming Bloody Murder and Whibley now divorced from Lavigne, Sum 41 have positioned themselves for a comeback, if you want to call it that.
ARTISTdirect.com news editor Amy Sciarretto spoke to Whibley about his post-divorce production work with Lavigne; the unorthodox way he wrote music for Screaming Bloody Murder; the overarching "Fuck You" attitude that defines the album; and how the album is a guitar-driven album. Sum 41 have grown up. So have their fans. That doesn't stop them from making viable music.
You did a lot of production work on your ex-wife Avril Lavigne's new album. Was that awkward? Are you still friends?
I did my best. That's all I can say. I didn't write anything. She wrote the songs and gave them to me produce and I did whatever I thought they needed. It's different, but also the same. I approached it the same way I do my own stuff. I have a studio in the house. She would have a song and I would jump in the studio and record it quick, but the difference was that I don't have the final say on the song. That was different than how I do it with my own band. The way I record it was the same way I do my own stuff.
So you have the final say with your own band only?
Yes, for my own thing. When I produce her stuff, it is up to her, since it's her music.
Did you produce the whole thing?
There are eight songs I did that made the record, but I don't have the final record yet.
Okay, enough questions about your producer role with your ex-wife. What's new with Sum 41? The band grew out of the pop punk sound, but that's always such a youthful tag! Where are you now, musically speaking? Growing up?
I don't think it's very youthful anymore. It's sort of... we're not really that young anymore. It's a natural evolution, I guess. Topic-wise, it's not youthful. Energy-wise, it's aggressive, dark and heavy. I don't think it's youthful, but it's not that it can't appeal to younger people. It is representative of where I am in my life now, which is a different place than I was 10 years ago.
That makes total sense and it's a fair musical evolution. So, where are you now?
I don't know where these songs came from. I don't even remember writing them. I heard them and don't remember where they came from or writing them. The whole record felt like a gift and I don't feel like I had anything to do with it, but I did, since I wrote everything. Every song I wrote came within 10 minutes and it took 10-15 minutes to get it out. I didn't spend more time on them, but the album took a long time, three years. I never sat down and said, 'I am going to write a song.' I'd be in the middle of a conversation and be like 'Fuck, 'Incoming! I have an idea.' I would throw down the idea, go back to the conversation and then go through my tapes.
Did you end up stock piling a lot of ideas?
Yes, that would happen once a month. I had a great time, enjoying living and every now and then, 10 minutes out of a month, I'd write a song.
Where the fans wondering where you were, since it was a few years between records?
Possibly, yeah. I never cared what radio or press or anybody thinks. We're doing our thing. Thousands of people still show up to our shows and that gave me the freedom to not care.
That's a good "problem" to have!
Totally. For the first time in my career, everything is awesome. The shows are awesome and the fans are awesome and that's all I care about.
Overall, how was the process for Screaming Bloody Murder?
It's been a weird record. It was never really like we were making a record. It's not like were going to put something out just to put something out. We were always accumulating music and knew we would put something out. But a timeline? No. We felt like it's almost done many times and then we kept going.
Sum 41... the Energizer bunnies! For this album to be darker and more aggressive, did you use darker tones or lyrics or was there more screaming and heavier riffs?
It's a guitar record. There's lots of guitar riffs and solos. It's very guitar based. There are darker keys and lyric, too. I wrote a lot of songs in dark period, when I was going through a divorce and had an overall painful period. A lot of it tends to be darker.
How are you now?
If I wrote a song today, it'd be the happiest song you ever heard. I didn't care about radio or pander to anything. I realized what do I love the most? I love rock music, so we made a rock record, a hard rock record. It is sort of like there is no theme, but it is a 'Fuck' You record. We don't care. Fuck you, here it is.
How does your label feel? Fuck them, right?
They were on my ass the whole fucking time, freaking out, like, 'What is he doing? He is taking so long, he doesn't seem to care. What are they doing?' I kept saying, 'We'll give it to you when it's done."
Why are there thousands of kids showing up to Sum 41 shows still? What's the secret?
You can never pinpoint it. At the end of the day, the body of work is the music. They say they like it or they don't. To a 15-year-old kid, a song from 10 years ago, they don't know if it was reviewed in Rolling Stone or if it charted. They think, 'Do I like it or do I not like it? Those who comes to our shows? They say 'I like it.' They make their choice on what they like and fortunately for us, they've liked us continuously.
Do you plan to do more producing?
I hate producing. I hate working with other bands [laughs] The only reason I did it with Avril is because she was my wife. The only other band I do it for is Sum 41.
What would you like to say to your fans now?
It is hard to explain something that you have to hear. People will hear it. It'll get out there, and people will find it on the Internet and download it for free, somehow. People will hear it when they need to hear it. I think it's great.
Are there any Def Jam guest stars, like Rihanna or Justin Bieber?
No! It's a straight up 'Fuck you' rock record. We sound like a band playing. We didn't do a lot of overproduction. We went in and played rock music and had best time of our lives.
—Amy Sciarretto
Do you dig Sum 41?

The recipe I like eating most is smothered chicken. When served with collard greens, corn bread and sweet tea this recipe is hard to beat.
