A practice where the asana ( postures or poses ) flow with seamless transitions synchronized with a steady breath. Incorporates meditation, flow, and deep relaxation. I have a heart centered and strength building approach to this practice, allowing for personal empowerment. Incorporates the addition of chanting and touch with assists throughout your practice to provide opening and organic alignment.
In this Vinyasa Flow class you will synchronize breath with movement. Students will focus on linking conscious breath with a mindful flow. In a Vinyasa class, students awaken their strength, energy, and flexibility in a fun atmosphere.
Buti Yoga is a soulful yet calorie-scorching workout that fuses power yoga with cardio-intensive tribal dance, plyometrics, body sculpting primal movement, conditioning and deep abdominal toning. It tones and sculpts the entire body while also facilitating inner transformation. Buti Yoga utilizes the Spiral Structure Technique to stabilize and strengthen the deeper abdominal muscles. Instead of linear movements, the practice favors movements that challenge the body along all planes of motion resulting in long, lean muscle with sexy feminine curves.
In Marathi, the language spoken in parts of western India, buti means "a cure that has been hidden or kept secret." In each Buti Class, the movement clears away stuck energy and revitalizes the body to help individuals shift their perception of the world around them. For Kayla, it has helped reveal an energy in herself she didn't realize she had kept buried. Every day she is beyond grateful for what Buti Yoga has done for her not just physically, but mentally. It has helped her grow, transform, and allowed her to be the front seat driver of her life. She is excited to help others reach their optimal potential and change their lives.

Elin Hersch
Elin Hersch took her first yoga class in 1999, and continued her practice to help balance out the effects of dancing and the stresses of "real life". Then, when leading unofficial lunch-break yoga sessions with her coworkers, Elin decided to expand this favorite time of the day into a way of life! Elin received her certification from the Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago, studying spiritually under the late Sri Goswami Kriyananda and learning Hatha yoga from Swami Sarasvatyananda. She has studied extensively in many different traditions and enjoys teaching everything from hot vinyasa to restorative, hatha to meditation. In her classes, Elin seeks to pass along the peace and joy she finds in yoga and to healthfully guide each student to their own place of centered self-awareness.

He doesn't stand a chance...

|copyright 2012 Elizabeth Rose Stanton
oh, do not think so, Rose, he looks like a very smart guy
and It is a very beautiful illustration :)
Haha, I like how the first label is "dork" but don't you know, dorks are much more in fashion than they used to be! Sure he's a bit on the lumpy side, but maybe he shoots a mean marble (do people still do that?) or maybe he is a great storyteller. Look at that cute face, he might do ok!ReplyDelete
Into the maw of the current middle school environment...? I see a story in the Juniper Tree.ReplyDelete
It's hard being "the new", but there is always nice people everywhere :) Lovely illustration, the boy seems warm, and I really love the old 70's clothes style :DReplyDelete
I think this guy will be popular because there is loads more like him!ReplyDelete
Lol-this is great, I could not think of an idea for popular. I could only think of the opposite because growing up I had no experience with popularity lmao!!! Proud to be a *dork*, I'm rooting for this guy :)ReplyDelete
Oh but he so adorable!!!ReplyDelete
I'm sure he'll grow out of it?ReplyDelete
Probably not, poor kid.
But then, he'll grow up, get a degree in computer science, start his own company and become a self-made millionaire. He'll early retire and spend his days traveling on his yacht with the rich and famous.
He seems unaware of his problems, he won't be the new kid for long!ReplyDelete
ah, I love him and his trousers :-)ReplyDelete
Poor little guy! And he's so cute!ReplyDelete
oh, he's cute!ReplyDelete
I don't know....he looks like he can positively handle anything that comes his way in quite the positive way! As a matter of fact, the more I look at his pleasant demeanor....I'd like to meet him. Would you, could you introduce me? =]ReplyDelete
I SO feel his pain! Having been the 'new kid' many times! LOLReplyDelete
They will love the yellow shoes.
At least he didn't bring his pet camel to school :)
Oh but suspenders are pure hip these days did you not know?
(BTW i think your blog itself illustrates popularity well;) )
NONE of us stands a chance...ReplyDelete
He has so cute smile and trusting attitude, I'm sure he will do fine.ReplyDelete
You always find a way to show us the topic on a different way! Your vieuw on things is great. that poor boy...ReplyDelete
He'll probably grow up to start a company like Microsoft. [no offense intended]ReplyDelete
Hehehehe, I dunno. He's pretty cute. And shaped like candy corn. I like candy corn. :)ReplyDelete
He looks adorable:)Love his expression:)ReplyDelete
What's his name? I need to know so I can start working on nicknames to call him. I didn't push new kids around or steal their stuff... no way.
I just liked to be the first one to come up with hurtful nicknames.
Cut me some slack. It's not like I wasn't on the receiving end of it: my last name is Blackman, you know. They had a field day with that one...
Lmao Ted!!ReplyDelete
That happy face..I don't think he'll let the bullies get to him. Charming!ReplyDelete
Oh, I'd be friends with this little dude...awesome Elizabeth!ReplyDelete
Yep, there is a problem. But eating vegan for a year will help. A bit of sports too.
Meanwhile all kids need love and support. Gosh, I'm getting too serious. :-)
Elizabeth, I am delighted to have found your blog, your drawings are charming!!ReplyDelete
This guy is right on the mark. Aside from his expression, I believe it's his amorphous lumpiness around the midsection that will be his downfall...
...And he seems to be clueless for what he's in for on the first day at the new school.
He just needs thick black glasses and then he will be the most popular for sure! Great character!ReplyDelete
Judging from the comments on this post, it appears this dorky kid has enough charisma to halt any first impressions. Although, he might consider wearing his trousers a bit longer … he looks like he's waiting for a flood. (Hardy har, har). Nice work, Elizabeth!ReplyDelete
Oh, I dunno - with arms like that, he's a natural for the basketball team, and I'll bet opposing teams have no way to deal with someone like him. Always thought-provoking.ReplyDelete
Ouch. I fear you're right. Though I love all the comments from everyone wanting to support him!ReplyDelete
I don't care who you are...we've all been here! Amusing and poignant illustration.ReplyDelete
seems this kid gets our approval to be popular :)ReplyDelete

While we may have called out many a star for not exactly embracing the 2017 Met Gala's avant-garde theme in honour of designer Rei Kawakubo, Haley Bennett will not be part of the guilty party judging by her look of the evening.
As she took to the red carpet on Monday (May 1) in New York City, she brought nothing short of an eccentric flower shop in tow.
Not content to only have an array of blooms embellished across her Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Couture period-style, lace gown, she wore an entire bouquet of faux florals atop her head.
While I want to applaud her for taking a bold fashion risk, there were several elements that were working against her thematic efforts.
The garish makeup being one; and her curled locks that had an ageing effect, being another. I probably would have lopped off the loose doily sleeves, too, to help restore the youthfulness to the look.

The issues are experience and change.
The issues are experience and change.
That's not a reference to the presidential primary election.
Experience does count in the California state Legislature.
While there is a need to change California term limits established by voter approval in 1990, Proposition 93 isn't the way to do it.
It's really just a disingenuous gambit by some of the state's most powerful elected officials to retain control and extend their longevity.
The numerical nuances can get confusing, typical of an initiative.
Basically, this one would allow members of the Senate and Assembly who must leave office this year to seek re-election in the June primary and Nov. 4 election and conveniently extend their tenure.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had opposed this clever bait-and-switch unless it was complemented by an initiative that would remove responsibility for how state voting districts are established (redistricting) from elected officials' control.
That didn't happen. But Schwarzenegger changed his mind and now supports Proposition 93.
Though he's made some plausible arguments, his makeover hints at the kind of cigar-tent deal-making that tends to alienate voters.
House Speaker Fabian Nuñez, D-Los Angeles, thought up this tactical maneuver and has been the money-raising force behind it.
Under current provisions - restricting legislators to three two-year terms in the Assembly and two four-year terms in the Senate - Nuñez's time is up this year.
When the presidential primary was moved to Feb. 5, it allowed Proposition 93 to be placed on the ballot. If it passes, Nuñez and others will have time to file for the June 3 primary election.
If re-elected on Nov. 4, he'd be able to stay in the Assembly for six more years.
Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, D-Oakland, would benefit, too, potentially adding four years to his termed-out tenure.
That negates the proposition's lure - reducing overall terms from 14 years to 12 years - and rewards shrewd political gamesmanship.
Some opponents of the proposition also theorize that Nuñez chose to endorse the four Indian gaming propositions on the Feb. 5 ballot for fear tribal leaders would help bankroll opposition to Proposition 93 if he didn't.
The state's elected leaders should be able to spend their limited years of service in one branch of the legislature. Experience generates knowledge and informed voting.
Terms also should be lengthened from two years to four years to reduce the amount of time required to raising campaign funds.
However, voters should send an even stronger message to Sacramento lawmakers that political maneuvering for personal gain isn't acceptable. Voting "no" on Proposition 93 would achieve that.

SEBRING — Bob Akin, Hans Stuck and Jo Gartner spent the first 5 1/2 hours working to put their Porsche 962 into the lead and the remaining 1/2 hours keeping it there Saturday as they raced to victory in the 34th annual 12 Hours of Sebring.
While most of the contenders in the sports-car endurance race were falling victim to an assortment of mechanical problems or falling prey to the rugged 4.86-mile Sebring International Raceway course itself, the Akin-Stuck- Gartner team was running a virtually error-free race to earn the $25,000 winner`s share from the record $164,000 purse.
The three covered a record 287 laps (1,363.25 miles) at a record average speed of 115.852 mph to defeat the second-place Porsche 962 driven by Jim Busby, Darin Brassfield and John Morton by more than eight laps.
The victory was the 11th in a row for Porsche at Sebring and marked the 17th consecutive time the West German automaker was victorious in an International Motor Sports Association event.
Last week, Akin, 50, declared his team as the favorite and made good by winning the race for the third time in his 77-race IMSA career. The Sebring victory was the second for West Germany`s Stuck, 35, who also won in 1975. For Gartner, 32, an Austrian, the victory was his first in three IMSA starts.
``We had nearly a perfect run, and Hans and Jo did a fabulous job,`` Akin said in victory lane. ``The car has been perfect all day.``
Said Stuck: ``We decided to do a certain race speed and kept our nose out of trouble.``
Only two other prototypes were running at the finish, the Busby Porsche and a Porsche 962 driven by the team of Al Holbert, Derek Bell and Al Unser Jr., which finished third.
Overall, 76 cars in four classes -- GTP GTO, GTU and Camel Lights -- competed, with all classes racing together but being scored separately. Twenty-nine cars were running at the finish.

My Photoshop CC Certification, License ADB341167
I was trying to come up with a term thinking "What it is it I've really been doing over these years?" Well it's in fact a series of tricks like a jester pulling a tweak out of his hat. I decided to call it Production Hacking as it was the shortest term I could conjure that self-described what I've been doing.
What is Production Hacking Capable Of?
As to what I know it covers Illustration, Vectors, 3D Animation, Visual Effects, Characters, Stories, Songs, Editing, Music Production, Audio Engineering, Compositing, Scripting, etc. each with their own subsets or related skills and knowledge as well as with multiple platforms, digital, analog or mechanical and methods for accomplishing each. This will also include programming in Java and C# as well as electronics-related projects, current game engines, conversion tools, technical or creative topics and more.
My Motion Graphics Demo Reel From 2013
But "Who Am Sharif?" (I know it's bad Grammar, just having fun)
For 18 years now since the tender age of 12 I have been manipulating computers and devices (which date back even further) to realize creative results from transferring my original anime pin-up drawings to Illustrator, colouring in Photoshop, and doing Simpsons parody 3D animation in 3DSMax back in 1998 or Bomberman 64 inspired animation, to nowadays being Photoshop Certified in Ps CC, Studying Computer Science (Engineering Technology) in college, while having a diverse portfolio in the fields of TV, Music, Marketing, News, Sports, & Magazines.

Japan is of particular interest to me since I lived there nearly 4 years and am married into Japanese with a wife and two children.
Funny Musical Animated Short Produced Independently As A Learning Project
In any case I have a lot to share about what I've learned over the years producing all kinds of content and will be happy to deliver it through my brand of Production Hacking.
It would also make me happy to see others collate and form a Production Hacking community where we can drive up production efficacy to its max.

You could be the NEXT Published Author!
I like watching American Idol because it reminds me of two things:
1. To never stop dreaming.
2. To not be self deluded.
If Kris Allen or David Cook or Daughtry had given up on their dreams of singing. They would still be doing their day jobs. But they had the nerve to put it out there, refine their craft, and refused to give up.
When I see other people achieve their dreams, I can't help but cry tears of happiness. Because I know what it's like to have a dream and I commend anyone out there who is brave enough to even have a dream. And I commend you even more if you're putting your self out there in the trenches and working towards making that dream a reality.
And now the self delusion part....
It surprises me every year how many people out there actually believe that they can sing. Some of the self-deluded have trained with a voice coach and publicly performed, while others think they innately have what it takes to be a star. No practice needed. But then when Simon says their voice is worse than the dying warble of aged rooster, the self deluded become angry and rude. Each time I see a contestant act this way, words like immature and ungrateful echo in my head. When an industry profeessional tells you that you need practice or should consider a different career, the self-deluded contestant will often lash out rather than learn from the experience.
The same goes for writers. Just because I blog. And just because I've written a novel or two doesn't mean that I have what it takes to be a published writer. I know I've got a long road ahead of me and I'm willing to learn and work hard. But at the same time, I'm not deluded into thinking that I'm the next J.K. Rowling or Stephenie Meyers either. But, there are people out there that think their writing is hotter than habanero. They believe they have what it takes. And they don't have the goods to back it up. I'm not one to judge any writer's ability. But I will judge you if you rant and rave over constructive criticism or cry woe is me all the time because the agent's dont understand that you're the greatest literary find in all of history. I haven't encountered this at all in the blogging community, but I have crossed a deluded writer or two in person.
So, yeah, I watch American Idol because I like watching other people reach for their dreams. And when Ryan Seacrest comes on the air, my mind dubbs over the words he's actually saying: Hey! You sitting on the coach! You could be the next Published Author!
6 comments:
Great post! I love Idol as well. I'm not a fan of the first few weeks. Some of those auditions are downright painful.ReplyDelete
You're so right about the delusional. It's sad to watch. Sometimes it seems the ability to sing and the ability to be nasty are in direct contrast to each other!
Great post. I'm not a huge AI fan, though the first weeks are fun. Like you, I believe there are lots of delusionals out there. Unfortunately, it's hard to know if I'm one of them (i.e., b/c I think I'm alright, I could just be blowing smoke up my own arse)... of course, having generous feedback from others like yourself is always helpful, but several of these delusionals also mention how others love their work, so the constant battle of self-doubt continues.ReplyDelete
Ultimately, I think it's better for growth to be a self-doubter than a delusional, but probably better for the wrinkles to be a delusional.
Anita--I watch Idol because I love seeing people reaching for their dreams. I love knowing that talent can take you to your goals. I love the stories of the contestants lives and their journeys.ReplyDelete
I guess that's why I read blogs (and write one)...so I can see others reaching for their dreams and achieving them. :)
Dealing with self-delusion is incredibly difficult!It's the fear that comes back again and again, especially when we're on our own, writing into a void. Shudder!ReplyDelete
I sometimes watch the UK and French equivalents of American Idol and some of those hopefuls are just scarily bad. Shudder again:)
Oh, totally. Just because you can "sing" on a video game, does NOT mean you're Kelly Clarkson.ReplyDelete
Unless you were somehow named the same as her. Or you really are Kelly and you happen to enjoy video games.
And Idol version of agencies would be so deliciously cool.
Because I would totally go there and suck just to show people how to react upon rejection.
Some people..
I'm not an AI fan but I'm pretty sure I'm not delusional.ReplyDelete
Then again, just thinking you could get published in this tight market, might be delusional after all.

I usually listen to classical music on a Sunday morning and today is no exception. I put in one of my favorite C.D.'s and it is Vivaldi - The Four Seasons. It speaks to my soul. I love to hear the quiet moments and the intense. It helps me relax and enter another dimension where all I have to do is listen and dream.

Time After Time
I used to listen to the original version of this song by Cyndi Lauper many times when I was a teenager. Needless to say, I really liked it. So, when I found this on YouTube I was ecstatic when I came across an acoustical version of this song by my favorite singer, Rob Thomas. Now, I like it even more and find myself singing it around the house lately. I almost feel like a teenager again. If you want, listen and see what you think of it.

Riding in an Airplane
In July, I rode in an airplane to go and visit family and friends in Ut. I don't fly very much at all and I was traveling by myself with my 9 mo. old baby boy as well. To say I was suffering from a little bit of flight nerves and anxiety was a bit of an understatement. I was terrified about getting through security, missing my flight, losing luggage, etc.. you name it and I was worrying way too much.
First, my friend Erin drove me to the airport at 5 in the a.m. which was so very nice of her (thank you, Erin.) I felt bad because she had to put up with me so worried and freaking out a bit. We had a hard time finding an entrance that wasn't blocked by road construction so we ended up following a cab into the airport. I made it there and it seemed really close to the time that my plane would be leaving. I was completely out of my comfort zone so I started sweating profusely. Somehow, I made through and basically ran with my baby to the gate. As I was boarding, a young lady came up to me, introduced herself and offered to help me carry the baby's car seat or diaper bag. I let her help me. She sat by me and helped me through my transfer and everything. I really needed it and I was happy to realize how nice people can be. It meant so much to me. Now, I worry that I didn't thank her for helping me.
Anyway, the reason I thought about this now is because I happened accross this comedy routine that Ellen did about planes: (WARNING: I didn't catch it but it states that she curses)
I thought this was funny and more typical of an airplane ride unlike mine that turned out so pleasantly. Anyway, my point is it really is unique in this day and age when a person can open up, help a complete stranger and be so nice with nothing bad happening for either party.
So, Amy-Jo, if you happen to read this I'd like to say THANKS!
I had a great vacation and I also made it home without any trouble. I didn't really meet anyone like Amy-Jo again.
Last but not least, I want to say thank you to Amanda and Jason for making sure I was picked up at the airport when I arrived back home. You're great friends!

Comedy Routine
I like to laugh as much as the next guy. So, when my friend, Anne, sent me this e-mail about the comedian Tim Hawkins, I sat around the computer with my kids watching You Tube and laughing tonight. We had fun together singing Subway, and talking about funny things in life. My personal favorite tonight was about the playground - I have my own playground stories from when I was growing up but I'll post that another time.
My kids mentioned to me that I had some pretty funny comedy routine's that I've written & performed for them. So, I was thinking it might be fun to write them up and post them here. Maybe you'll laugh and maybe you won't, but since this is a blog, I won't know that unless you tell me. Anyway, have fun with my funny, good, clean humorous stories anyway. (Jared you'll forgive me later, right? I make you laugh every day because you know I'm a piece of work, right?)
Here goes nothing:
Thousand Dollar Clothes Rack
So, the topic at our house lately has been about whether or not to join a gym. I really want to because I need to do something to get myself exercising and on my way to loosing a bit as well. It's funny that this has come up later because two years ago, I had another friend who had joined a gym and I wanted to then as well. So, I brought this idea up to my husband, Jared and that got him thinking and his mind reeled to an idea of a home gym. We had a lot of discussions about this and typically they went something like this:
"Oh, honey, I'd really like to exercise more and my friend is joining a gym. Maybe that's what I could do as well. What do you think?" (Julie)
"That sounds great! I think you should exercise more - I mean - we both should." (Jared)
"I know, so what do you think about the gym?"
"Well, I've got a lot of concerns about that. Have you thought it all through because I have a great idea of making a home gym. We can both exercise right here at home."
"Oh, but honey, I'm home all the time. I'd like to get away, out of the house, to exercise."
"What would you do with the kids while you exercised at the gym?"
"They've got it all set up for that - a little play room just for them. I don't know all the details of how it works but I'd drop off the kids and exercise, then I'd pick them up when I'm done."
"I think if you had a home gym then you can watch the kids while you exercise. Right here in the privacy and comfort of our own home. I really want a home gym."
"Okay, if you really think we won't use it as a clothes rack."
So, we went looking around for home gym equipment and tried out quite a few machines and with our tax return money we bought a stationary bike and eliptical-type machine. At first, it seemed great, even fun. As time wore on, the fun wore off and exercise is just plain hard work with little benefits unless you stick with it over long periods of time. I know home gyms can work for some people and they can be great but I think for me it's not working out. Perhaps, it's because at first we put the exercise machines in the garage. Well, we live in TX and it gets really hot in the garage. I mean, really hot.
Since we realized that wasn't working then we moved them to our master bedroom. Well, at first it worked a bit. Our kids have loved the machines and really used them. They like to do things like see how fast they can make it go and ride them backwards. Zayah and Gracie feel like it's their own personal monkey bars. Also, now its too convenient for Jared to use to put his freshly ironed shirts on and that's exactly what he does. So, one day I just couldn't resist and I teased him by saying, "So, honey, how's the home gym working for you? I mean, how do you like your thousand dollar clothes rack."

Something funny today
I need to get this blog going so how about a little humor from my daily life.
Yesterday, I went shopping with my daughter, Hopie. I noticed a bumper sticker on a car that said "I'd rather be shopping." I told Hopie "I'd rather be blogging." She laughed and rolled her eyes. I also came up with another one like "Blog your life away." This a.m. when I was IMing with my brother-in-law I came up with "Blog, you're it!" and he liked it. Maybe I should go into the bumper sticker business. What do you think?
While I was IMing this morning, Zayah came up to me and wanted a can of tuna. So, as I was opening it up for him, he randomly says to me: "Mom, did you know that tuna comes from Mermaids?" Of course I laughed and thought it was hilarious and cute. Perhaps, later I'll set the record straight but for now it's too funny.
I've posted a picture of Zayah trying to drive at age 2.

Baku. 26 October. REPORT.AZ/ Jimmy Morales polled 72% against the former first lady, Sandra Torres, who is seen by many as part of the country's unpopular political elite. Report informs citing the RIA Novosti, a former TV comedian with no experience in government has won the run-off vote in Guatemala's presidential election.
Mr Morales has regaled voters with stories about his humble origins and jokes from a 14-year period on a TV comedy show.
The vote took place a month after the resignation and arrest of President Otto Perez Molina.

It's so easy for me to get into a rut when making salads. I find myself often relying on cheese as a primary flavor booster. But since I'm trying to keep my dairy intake down to a respectable level, (you know… somewhere below putting cheese on absolutely everything) I've been working on branching out this summer.
Paleo S'mores Blondie Brownies
So… there's always a first time for everything because today is the first time I've ever put 2 recipes on the blog in one day! But here's the thing, I made these s'mores brownies last week, and they were so good I just knew I had to get them out in time for the 4th of July. However I forgot I already had my Grilled Summer Veggie Pesto Pasta Salad scheduled to come out.
Grilled Summer Veggie Pesto Pasta Salad
What is it about summer that almost demands you make a pasta salad? Maybe it's just me, but I love getting creative with pasta salads during the warmer months. And today's recipe is pretty much the essence of summer, packed with summer veggies and pesto.
Paleo Zesty Ranch Trail Mix
When I did a poll over on Insta Stories to see whether I should make a honey mustard or a ranch trail mix, honey mustard ended up winning. But it won by just the narrowest of margins. So I felt like I really needed to make a ranch version as well.
Grilled Sweet Chili Chicken and Mango Salad
I never get enough of the sweet spicy combo, and it's one of my favorite things about so many Asian inspired meals. Hot, Sour, Salty, and Sweet with Spice added in are flavors that are fun to mix and match. I never really thought too much about it, until I read all about it in a cookbook, (called of course Hot, Sour, Salty, and Sweet). The authors talk all about how different dishes from every Asian country fall into these categories.
Cucumber Collagen Facial Mask
I just got done rinsing this mask off in the shower, and I love how smooth my skin feels right now. I've been putting collagen into my green smoothies for the last few months. But it was just recently I thought of putting it into a facial mask as well.
Fluffy Paleo Blueberry Pancakes
I grew up eating blueberry pancakes as a special 'weekend treat' type of breakfast. Most of the time they were actually huckleberry pancakes since they grow here in Montana. They have a indescribably wild and wonderful flavor since you have to forage them straight from the forest. But a close second is wild blueberries if you can find them in the freezer section at your grocery store.
Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake
I've been on a bit of a roll lately with classic treats I loved from childhood. I started a few weeks back with The Ultimate Paleo Lemon Bars, then it was these Blueberry Muffins, and now today we're on to Strawberry Shortcake.
Vietnamese Chicken Salad
This salad is based off my all time favorite order at a little Vietnamese place we used to go to. It was our favorite spot for quick lunches when we lived in Calgary. I always got B8 off the menu which was a Saté chicken bun vermicelli dish.

JEMBER, Indonesia _ — As the sickle of a new moon pierced the sky, signaling the beginning of the Chinese Lunar New Year, shopkeeper Wei Tang Kai did not dare celebrate. Here in the world's largest Islamic nation, it is against the law publicly to commemorate the holiday, display Chinese-language signboards or own Chinese books.
But even more than the police, Wei fears his neighbors.
Earlier this month, hundreds of men from outlying villages, armed with machetes and sickles, appeared on his shop-lined street, accusing the Chinese merchants there of hoarding goods and overcharging during Indonesia's worst economic crisis in decades.
The crowd turned into a looting mob. Men pulled bolts of cloth from the store across the street and set them ablaze; a grocery was torched; one woman had her arm cut off.
Wei's family and store escaped harm, but he is still terrified.
``Every time things get more expensive, they turn against the Chinese, even though this is a national crisis. We get blamed for everything,'' he said, huddled behind tall shelves in the back of his dried-food store.
Hidden from the eyes of his customers, the backs of the shelves are adorned with posters of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and, another version of paradise, a cityscape of Hong Kong.
A Chinese Christian in a Muslim stronghold, his community is tiny, its protectors are few.
``I'm afraid they're going to kill me,'' he said of the Muslim majority. ``One day they'll break in here and slit my throat.''
From the dark back rooms of stores in Jember, a town on the eastern end of Java, to the boardrooms of billionaires in the capital, Jakarta, ethnic Chinese Indonesians are nervously preparing for the anti-Chinese backlash that often comes with times of tension here.
Laws restricting Chinese culture were imposed, the government says, to promote assimilation and to protect Chinese Indonesians after an estimated half a million were killed in anti-Communist riots in 1965.

Earth mp3s or releasesgreenspun.com : LUSENET : dsl.org : One Thread
does anyone know where to get or does anyone have the song Tallahassee by Earth on mp3? I can't get their cds here in ireland (i don't even know if they're widely available in the US) so i really have no other choice than to look for mp3s... Any help would be appreciated, i really love this song. thanks.

You should be able to order "Pentastar..." CD from a local record shop with no problem. It's definitely still available to order in the U.K. I don't know about Ireland, but it's worth a try, if you haven't tryed already.
A couple of mailorders in the U.K who currently have it in stock. http://www.mozaic.demon.co.uk/DC/html/outrock_96.html (for Ł12.99) http://www.pinnacle-entertainment.co.uk/artist_details.php? artistID=7549 (for Ł11.99)
And it's still very available direct from Sub Pop, along with the vinyl version.
Failing that, if your're registered with eBay, I've seen many copies put up for auction there, sometimes selling for as little as Ł2.99, etc, in the U.K.

FERRIER FILES: Artists recording before 1972 get no revenue for digital downloads
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Nashville's Brenda Lee recorded "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," but she doesn't see a penny of its digital download revenue.
Thousands of musicians who wrote, played or performed songs before 1972 have been cut out of the $500 million annual digital recording pie.
Steve Cropper is one of the those famous music maker who you might not recognize, but he is a legend. He co-wrote "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" with Otis Redding.
He wrote "Soulman" made famous by the Blues Brothers.
"I can't turn on the soul channel without hearing a Staxx thing and something I wrote or produced," Cropper said. "That's a good feeling, but when you know your kids aren't getting any money for it."
The record companies get half of digital royalties on anything written from 1972 to today. The featured artists get 45 percent, Non featured musicians and background singers get five percent. This was all part of the Federal Digital Recording Act of 1995.
For anything written before 1972, the record companies got 100 percent, and everyone else gets nothing from a $500 million annual payout in digital royalties.
"It's okay you leave your house and your clothes and your things, but I have a catalog that is very large and I want to give it to my family," Cropper said. "They can live on that for a long, long time."
If this doesn't see fair, you are not alone. State Representative Judd Matheny, R-Tullahoma, and State Senator Mark Green, R-Clarksville, are the champions of changing this law in Tennessee.
"The money is being made, the money should be paid," Rep. Matheny said. "It's that simple."
But of course, it's never that simple. The record companies want to keep all the money so they are lobbying hard against this new bill.
"If my colleagues will see through the lobbyists and their money and look at the truth, I think we can get this bill through the general assembly," Matheny said. "It is an issue of fairness because we are taking care of constituents here."
You can talk about percentages and how to divide it all. It can get as complicated as a piece of music, but the melody is simple.
"That's my income, royalties," Cropper said. "I survive on that."
There is a similar bill in Congress that would also level this musical playing field. It is co-sponsored by Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn, but it has been sitting there collecting dust like so much legislation on the Federal Level.
Fox 17 News will continue to follow this bill as it moves through the legislature.

|Molly Mule
|Approx. 15 hh
|10 years
|60 days training under saddle, western
|Rider Type
|Unlimited potential, advanced
Matilda was found abandoned in Watauga County with four other horses. She is a Molly mule just started under saddle. She is currently with a professional trainer and when she returns to us will have had 60 days professional training. Matilda is incredibly sweet but shy. According to the trainer she will need someone willing to ride her frequently with consistent regular ground handling. He believes her previous training was inconsistent with long spells of no handling at all; this has conditioned her to have only limited trust with humans. To continue moving forward with her training she needs regular positive attention. We don't know much about her history but trust issues have been some of our biggest hurdles. She had trouble with men especially, but as you can see from the photo, some of her favorite people are now men. Matilda is perfect for the farrier; she loads and has all her basic ground skills mastered.

This old figurine is representing the Cedar Waxwing, a bird which is commonly found in North America. It is a beautifully hand painted figure with detail given to the birds physical traits like the black mask and red droplets on the wing tips. In its beak is a berry and he is perched on a branch with leaves and berries as well. It is only marked with the bird species on the bottom and no maker. I believe it is from the 1950's - 1960's.
It measures about 2 7/8" high by 3 3/8" wide and is in very nice condition with minimal wear and no damage. There is a little paint wear to the top of his crest as shown in the photo.

September: September was a very special month because Tiny Tin Bird celebrated his first birthday! Hurrah! A whole year. We had a family party for him and then a soft play party on his actual birthday for his/our friends. He got some lovely, generous presents and we've had great fun playing with them. Andy's dad came to stay, and while he was here he did the Park Run. TTB and I watched. The market had Dahlias, my mum came to stay for YARNDALE (which meant yarnbombing, and finally finishing the crocheted houses.) We went on lots of walks, including to see the chickens and to Bolton Abbey (twice!)
October: In October I embraced all things Autumn and surprised myself by really enjoying it. I made soup, bought a pumpkin and made TTB pose for photos with it, went for Autumn walks and got excited about leaves. I made vegetable cobbler and bought bread at the farmers market. TTB started to walk well enough to walk outside! I went to visit my mum and we went to Milton Keynes. I started to buy some Christmassy things, and felt excited about TTB's second Christmas. In addition to this there was of course more swings fun, and I made the Raspberry not Ripple blanket. Andy had some time off work, and made good headway on our lounge. Oh and I got star shaped biscuit cutters. That's worth remembering because they are pretty!
November: We started November with some baby-friendly fireworks at a friend's house and it made us both feel so grateful for the friends that we've made here since having TTB. My sister turned 21 (eek!) and took lots of photos of the lovely Autumnal things, marvelling at the quality of the weather we were having in November. I went to Leeds to see Vic and Violet (and buy a new coat for TTB). I also made the little bunny ripple for Violet's bunny, and started to make a colour swatch sample of crochet. The town put it's Christmas lights up, much to the delight of TTB, and we detoured almost daily to go through the arcade and see the big Christmas tree. There were some spectacular skies, particularly on the day that we saw What the Ladybird Heard at the theatre in Bradford. As usual, we walked in the park, played at the playground, and walked in the woods. We saw the first frost of the year as well and it stuck in my mind just how much later it was than last year, as it was frosty when I was in hospital with TTB in September.
December: I don't have many photos from December because I was so busy doing bits and bobs. TTB turned into my full time kitchen helper and that slowed things down considerably! I made lots more soup, went to Saltaire with Andy and TTB and finally, finally, finally had a Christmas tree and was able to get all my decorations out. We had a super Christmas seeing our families, and I got to be Father Christmas for the first time ever – a definite highlight of the year for me :-)
2013 has been a brilliant year. I don't think I've ever felt so fulfilled in my whole life and that makes me very happy. At the end of 2012 I didn't think that anything could top that year simply because it was the year that I welcomed my son into the world. I was wrong about that – I mean, of course it was wonderful welcoming him into the world but it was bloody hard and I didn't get much done, and this year I feel like I've done really well. I have worked really hard this year and a lot of it hasn't been easy and I was still very sleep deprived for most of it but when I look back at these pictures of the year as a whole, it's not any of the bad bits that stand out to me. It's the good bits: the cuddles, the baking, the making, the walks in the park, the time spent with family, the being excited about leaves and pumpkins and seasonal things. Seeing the good in as much as I can, and appreciating the small things and being just as grateful for them as for the big things. Making the most of it and being as happy as I can. And I am. Happy and grateful. I'm grateful to you for reading my blog as well, and all of you who take the time to leave me comments or send me emails. Thank you all for sharing this year with me.
Happy New Year! Here's to 2014! xxxx

Getting to grips with your emollient
When you (or your child) have eczema, your skin is not able to create the natural protective barrier that stops water being lost, and dirt, irritants and bacteria from getting in. Your emollient is the most important part of your treatment package because it will restore the barrier function, so protecting the skin. It does this by replacing lost moisture, which means that you need to put a lot of it on.
Using enough emollient
The reality is that many people (both children and adults alike) just don't use enough emollient for it to do its job properly and for them to see the best results.
Follow these simple rules to applying an emollient:
- Put it on every day - in between and during flare-ups, even when skin is clear
- Apply it every 3-4 hours - which means at least 4 times a day
- Be generous - generally speaking you'll need far more emollient than you might imagine
You should use between 250-500g a week for children (that's 2-4 pump dispensers a month) and roughly 600g a week for adults (that's about 4 pump dispensers a month).
Building a daily emollient routine
We know that applying an emollient four times a day, each and every day, is time consuming - and it's not that enjoyable! However, trying to build emollient application into your daily routine (and that of a child) can help to make it a regular habit. Why not think of fixed points in time during the day when you could put on an emollient, for example:
Before getting dressed in the morning
Just after lunch (although for children special arrangements with nursery or school may need to be made)
During an afternoon break (or for children when they get home from nursery or school)
In the evening, after a bath or cleaning your teeth

Forest 'keeper Henderson faces injury lay-off
Irish keeper Stephen Henderson is facing a spell on the sidelines after he picked up a serious injury while on duty for his club.
The 28-year-old was enjoying a good run of form in the Forest side and only last week Henderson told The Herald how he still held out hopes of getting recognition at international level.
But Henderson was replaced early in the first half of Saturday's heavy loss to Norwich City and while the club have yet to establish how long he will be absent, he will be missed.
"It was a big disappointment to lose the goalkeeper to what looks like a serious injury," says Forest's caretaker manager Gary Brazil.
"We will have to recover as a group and with Stephen we will have to be patient and see what the scans show. It is an Achilles injury but it didn't look good; it is a big loss for us."
Forest defender Jack Hobbs also bemoned the loss of the keeper. "Hendo has been mister dependable lately as he has pulled off some huge saves so to lose him is a huge blow. We just hope it is nothing too bad and he has a quick recovery," he said.
Wes Hoolahan scored Norwich's third goal in the 5-1 win, his strike one of the best of the day and a welcome goal from Hoolahan, only his third goal of the season and his first since October.
Canaries boss Alex Neil picked out Jonny Howson's goal as his favourite, just about. "It is like trying to choose between your children," said Neil. "You have Alex Pritchard, Wes and Jonny in there. They are all highly thought of. It is a tough one. If I had to be really forced into a corner I think because Jonny hit his first time and it is on the volley I would go for that one.
"To see some of the goals you've seen in the first half, they were a bit special."

Sunday, 18 March 2007, Pátzcuaro, Michoacán
We finally left San Miguel at about 1.30 last Sunday, after spending all morning packing up. Everyone in the campground seemed to waiting around for us to leave, but when they realised how slow we were, they came and said goodbye, wishing us well for our journey, and went off to do whatever they had planned for their Sunday. We also went shopping at Mega one last time - we always seem to have the feeling that we don't know when we will next find a big supermarket in Mexico, but the more we drive, the more we realise that there are big shopping centres popping up in every major city that we pass by or through.
The drive to Guanajuato was relatively easy and the landscape was more of the same - dry hilly country with lots of cactuses! We did notice though that there was a proliferation of yellow in the landscape, as many plants were flowering much more than when we had driven into San Miguel 3 weeks before. We arrived at the Bugamville campground, which is about 9 km outside the city, at around 4.00, and were surprised to find it totally deserted. Not only were there no other campers, but there was also no Mexican owner/caretaker to be found. We opened the gate and drove in anyway and found a site that suited us. It was very quiet out in the countryside after the traffic, church bells and roosters of San Miguel. I think we both slept more soundly than we had for some time.
On Monday we caught a local bus into the city of Guanajuato, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We thought we had seen colourful Mexican houses, and then we came to Guanajuato!!! Take a look at our photos and you will see what I mean. Guanajuato, the capital of the state of Guanajuato, is built in a narrow gorge with relatively steep sides, which limits the size of the city and also provides some incredible panoramas, with colourful buildings on the hillsides and rugged terrain above them. We found this city the most beautiful we have seen since being in Mexico. It also has a very pleasant feel to it. Somehow the colour gives it a very vibrant feel and, since it is a university town, it is full of students which adds to that lively feeling.
We spent the day just wandering the streets, which go up and down and even underground in an amazing system of tunnels. Walking in the city was made even more pleasant by the fact that there are many small plazas scattered around with benches and shade trees, ideal for a refreshing rest before moving on. The central plaza, Jardin Union (Garden of the Union), is a small but beautiful place with many well-groomed trees providing a "roof" of shade, under which people have their shoes cleaned, or sit at an outdoor restaurant to eat and drink, or just sit on a bench and watch the world go by. There is a funicular which leaves from just behind the Juarez Theatre, directly opposite Jardin Union, and goes straight up to the Monumento al Pipila. The monument itself was covered in scaffolding so we couldn't really see it, but it was the panoramic view that we came for, and thoroughly enjoyed.
We arrived back at the campground, just ahead of an afternoon storm which brought some rain and a beautiful rainbow. Another camper had joined us sometime that day, but we didn't see the occupants until the next morning. After another restful night, and a long chat to the Californian couple who were the occupants of the other camper, we left the Bugamville to make a round trip via Dolores Hidalgo to Guanajuato and the in-town-campground.
To reach Dolores Hidalgo we drove back towards San Miguel and then turned off to the north to reach the town. We made the trip to this town to see the Talavera pottery and tiles for which it is famous. Arriving in the town you find shop after shop selling the ceramic work. Some of it is amazingly beautiful, some of it is perfectly kitschy, and some of it wouldn't even make it into the kitsch shop I kept threatening to open (there were plenty of candidates for inclusion...). We left the town after a couple of hours of wandering in and out of the shops, just before the afternoon storm hit. As we drove out of Dolores Hidalgo towards Guanajuato, the rain came. But it didn't really last.
The road from Dolores Hidalgo directly to Guanajuato was one of the most scenic roads we had driven so far. It was quite a winding road through almost mountainous terrain, with some great views of rugged mountains all around. And it was fairly green, which is always welcome to the eyes after the brown and dry terrain that we have been seeing.

Launched by Brian and Emery Fitzgerald, My Big Day Designs has grown to serve a robust customer base while maintaining our down-to-earth pricing and sincere commitment to delivering complete satisfaction and exceptional quality. We are small, we are experienced and we are very good at what we do.
Brian has worked in the graphic design industry for 25 years and Emery has been in the printing and photography industry for 15. This combined with both of their eyes for detail and originality, translates to beautiful invitations, announcements and quality printed products.
Upon looking for beautiful customized designs for their wedding, they found the market severely lacked affordable collections. With their combined experience within the artistic and business world, they decided to create a company that provides a very specific product that meets their clients vision, while remaining amazingly affordable.
My Big Day Designs is all about high-end design and print work, without the high end prices. Period. If old-fashioned, over-priced letter press printing, fancy ribbons and origami-like envelopes are in your budget, then you most likely are not on a budget. We cater to those who really care about design and quality printing to honor their "Big Day", but who are not willing to, or do not have the means to pay the extra premium.
We were in the same boat, we get it, and we are here to help!
We are all well aware that our clients have options, and that there are MANY sites out there – most of them being huge, global conglomerates. Still, we are confident we have among the most sophisticated design and print work around, offered at lower prices than 99% of them all.
About Our Design Work
What makes us different from other wedding stationery vendors is that each of our products is 100% original to My Big Day Designs (we design everything ourselves, so you won't find these Invitation Sets or Save the Dates anywhere else) and each is completely customizable to fit the personality and individual style of every bride.
Think of our product design samples as mere starting points. From there, you might wish to change something as basic as the ink color or font, or you can decide to work directly with our amazing designers to inspire an entirely new invitation set. We love helping our brides design creative wedding invitations that truly reflect the spirit of their event.
Of course, many of our customers prefer to keep things simple and select invitations just as they see them on our site – and that's okay too! We have tons of fabulous designs and styles to fit every budget.

About Marvelous Products
What do you need to know before hiring a pet sitter?
People and their pets go together like bread and butter, becoming increasingly more synonymous with each other, and their numbers are continuing to grow globally. For example, in 2015, it's estimated that worldwide spending on our animals will surpass the $100 billion dollar mark for the first time. Naturally, this figure includes necessities like food and veterinary care, but other more exotic expenditures like designer outfits, professional grooming, even beauty treatments are taking a bigger piece of this ever-expanding pie.
Another rapidly growing cost for our four-legged friends includes caretaking, doggie daycare and other types of pet sitting services that are also on the rise. Businesses offering pet products, caretaking, and other animal-specific services are expected to rise by 4.4% throughout 2016, one of the few industries to do so in our often troubled economy.
When it comes to finding the right pet sitter, as the infographic below will show, it's a little more complicated than one might imagine. Therefore, here is the most common mistake many pet owners make when it comes to choosing a caregiver for their animals:
Many times pet owners will rely on friends, family or neighbors to look after their beloved pets during their absence, but often this is not the best choice. There could be unique medical circumstances that require a more professional approach. For example, insulin-dependent diabetes in dogs, the most common form of this disease known as Mellitus, needs shots to be administered to the animal.
Other problems with choosing these friendly associations with a family member or neighbor could include:
- They may not have the time to come and care for your animal multiple times per day.
- A younger family member or neighbor could throw a party in your home or have other unwanted guests in your house.
- If they became unexpectedly ill or injured, perhaps they had car trouble, they may not be able to provide the care for your pet as promised.
- While your neighbor may be willing to help you out as a favor, they may not be close enough to you or your pet to offer them the kind of care, love, and affection they need.
- Without training or the right knowledge, they may not know how to react in case of an emergency, illness or injury.
And last but not certainly not least, if your friend, neighbor or family member does make a mistake, perhaps they miss a visit, forget a feeding or neglect a dose of medication and something happens to your pet, as a result, will your relationship with them be able to recover?
