Wisden obituary
Born at Smethwick, Staffordshire, April 19, 1873. Died at Chadsmoor, Staffordshire, December 26, 1967. Sydney Francis Barnes was the second son of five children of Richard Barnes who spent nearly all his life in Staffordshire and worked for a Birmingham firm for 63 years. The father played only a little cricket and Sydney Barnes averred that he never had more than three hours' coaching, but he practised assiduously to perfect the leg-break after learning the off-break from the Smethwick professional, Billy Ward of Warwickshire.
Most cricketers and students of the game belonging to the period in which S.F. Barnes played were agreed that he was the bowler of the century. Australians as well as English voted him unanimously the greatest. Clem Hill, the famous Australian left-handed batsman, who in successive Test innings scored 99, 98, 97, v. A.C. MacLaren's England team of 1901-02, told me that on a perfect wicket Barnes could swing the new ball in and out "very late", could spin from the ground, pitch on the leg stump and miss the off. At Melbourne, in December 1911, Barnes in five overs overwhelmed Kelleway, Bardsley, Hill and Armstrong for a single.
Hill was clean bowled by him. "The ball pitched outside my leg-stump, safe to the push off my pads, I thought. Before I could `pick up' my bat, my off-stump was knocked silly."
Barnes was creative, one of the first bowlers really to use the seam of a new ball and combine swing so subtly with spin that few batsmen could distinguish one from the other.
He made a name before a new ball was available to an attack every so many runs or overs. He entered first-class cricket at a time when one ball had to suffice for the whole duration of the batting side's innings.
He was professional in the Lancashire League when A.C. MacLaren, hearing of his skill, invited him to the nets at Old Trafford. "He thumped me on the left thigh. He hit my gloves from a length. He actually said, `Sorry, sir!' and I said, `Don't be sorry, Barnes. You're coming to Australia with me.'"
MacLaren on the strength of a net practice with Barnes chose him for his England team in Australia of 1901-02. In the first Test of that rubber, Barnes took five for 65 in 35.1 overs, and one for 74 in 16 overs. In the second Test he took six for 42 and seven for 121 and he bowled 80 six-ball overs in this game.
He broke down, leg strain, in the third Test and could bowl no more for MacLaren, who winning the first Test, lost the next four of the rubber.
Barnes bowled regularly for Lancashire in 1902, taking more than a hundred wickets in the season, averaging around 20. Wisden actually found fault with his attack this year, stating that he needed to cultivate an "off-break". In the late nineties he had appeared almost anonymously in the Warwickshire XI.
Throughout his career he remained mysteriously aloof, appearing in the full sky of first-class cricket like a meteor -- declaring the death of the most princely of batsmen! He preferred the reward and comparative indolence of Saturday league matches to the daily toil of the county tourney.
Here is one of the reasons of his absence from the England XI between 1902 and 1907. He didn't go to Australia as one of P.F. Warner's team of 1903-04 and took no part of the 1905 England v. Australia rubber. The future historian of cricket may well gape and wonder why, in the crucial Test of 1902, Barnes didn't play for England at Manchester, where the rubber went to Australia by three runs only.
Barnes had bowled for England at Sheffield in the third and previous Test, taking six for 49 and one for 50. It is as likely as conjecture about cricket ever can be likely that had Barnes taken part in the famous Manchester Test of 1902 England wouldn't have lost the rubber by a hair's breadth.
He was in those days not an easy man to handle on the field of play. There was a Mephistophelian aspect about him. He didn't play cricket out of any green field starry-eyed idealism. He rightly considered that his talents were worth estimating in cash values. In his old age he mellowed, yet remained humorously cynical.
Sir Donald Bradman argued that W.J. O'Reilly must have been a greater bowler than Barnes because he commanded every ball developed in Barnes's day -- plus the googly. I told Barnes of Bradman's remark. "It's quite true," he said, "I never bowled the `googly.'" Then with a glint in his eye, he added, "I never needed it."
Against Australia he took 106 wickets, average 21.58. Only Trumble and Peel have improved on these figures in Tests between England and Australia (I won't count Turner's 101 wickets at 16.53 because he bowled in conditions not known to Barnes and Trumble).
Barnes had no opportunities to pick up easy victims. He played only against Australia and South Africa and, in all Test matches, his haul was 189 at 16.43 each.
On matting in South Africa when South Africa's batsmanship, at its greatest, was represented by H.W. Taylor, A.D. Nourse, L.J. Tancred, J.W. Zulch, in 1913-14, he was unplayable, with 49 wickets in four Tests at 10.93 each. It was said he refused to play in the fifth match because he contended the South Africans had not carried out their promise of special reward if he took part in the tour.
In the second Test at Johannesburg, Barnes took 17 wickets for 159, a record which stood until 1956 when Laker laid low Australia at Old Trafford with his unique figures of 19 for 90.
Yet against Barnes's fantastically swinging, bouncing, late-turning attack on that 1913-14 tour, Herbie Taylor scored 508 runs, average 50.80, perhaps the most skilful of all Test performances by a batsman.
Barnes was a man of character. At Sydney on the 1911-12 tour, J.W.H.T. Douglas opened the England attack using the new ball with Frank Foster. Barnes was furious. He sulked as he sent down 35 overs for three wickets and 107 runs (in the match he took only four for 179). England lost by 146 runs.
At Melbourne, Australia batted first and Barnes this time had the new ball. We all know with what results. Australia suffered defeat -- and also in the ensuing three games. The destruction wreaked by Barnes, and on all his great days, was mostly done by the ball which, bowled from a splendid height, seemed to swing in to the leg stump then spin away from the pitch, threatening the off-stump. Barnes assured me that he actually turned the ball by finger twist.
The wonder of his career is that he took 77 of his 106 Australian Test wickets on the wickets of Australia when they were flawless and the scourge of all ordinarily good bowlers. He clean bowled Victor Trumper for 0 at Sydney in the 1907-08 rubber; then Fielder and J.N. Crawford in the following Test dismissed Trumper for a pair, so Trumper was out for 0 in three successive Test innings.
Barnes remained a deadly bowler long after he went out of first-class cricket. So shrewdly did he conserve his energy that in 1928 when he was in his mid-fifties, the West Indies team of that year faced him in a club match and unanimously agreed he was the best they had encountered in the season.
For Staffordshire, in his fifty-sixth year, he took 76 wickets at 8.21 each. Round about this period a young player, later to become famous in international company, was one of the Lancashire Second XI playing against Staffordshire.
His captain won the toss and two Lancashire lads went forth to open the innings against Barnes. As this colt was number six in the batting order he put on his blazer and was about to leave the pavilion to watch Barnes from behind. But his captain told him to go back to the dressing room and get on his pads. "But," said the colt, "I'm not in until number six and I'd like to look at Barnes." His captain insisted. The young colt returned to the dressing room. And there, he said "there were four of us all padded up waiting. And we were all out in the middle and back again in half an hour."
Barnes had a splendid upright action, right arm straight over. He ran on easy strides, not a penn'orth of energy wasted. He fingered a cricket ball sensitively, like a violinist his fiddle. He always attacked. "Why do these bowlers today send down so many balls the batsman needn't play?" he asked while watching a Test match many years ago. "I didn't. I never gave'em any rest."
His hatchet face and his suggestion of physical and mental leanness and keenness were part of Barnes's cricket and outlook on the game. He was relentless, a chill wind of antagonism blew from him on the sunniest day. As I say, he mellowed in full age and retirement.
He came to Lord's and other grounds for Test matches, even in his ninety-fifth year, leading blind Wilfred Rhodes about. And to the end of his life he worked for his living, drawing up legal and other documents for Staffordshire County Council in the most beautiful copperplate writing he learned as a boy.
As we think of the unsmiling destroyer of all the batsmen that came his way, let us also remember Barnes immortalised in that lovely verse of Alan Ross:
Then, elbows linked, but straight as sailors
On a tilting deck, they move. One, square-shouldered as a tailor's
Model, leans over whispering in the other's ear:
Go easy, Steps here. This end bowling'.Turning, I watch Barnes guide Rhodes into fresher air,
As if to continue an innings, though Rhodes may only play by ear.
Other tributes to Barnes included: Arthur Gilligan, President of M.C.C.: He will be mourned by cricketers the world over. He was the finest bowler there ever was and a magnificent personality after his playing days.
S.C. Griffith, Secretary of M.C.C.: The extraordinary thing about him was that all his contemporaries considered him the greatest bowler. There was never any doubts in their minds. This must have been unique.
Wilfred Rhodes, who celebrated his 90th birthday in October, 1967, one of the greatest of cricket's all-rounders, and one of the few remaining contemporaries of Barnes in the England side: Barnes was a very fine medium-paced bowler, the best I ever played with. He had a lovely run-up to the wicket, carrying the ball in his left hand until he was only two paces from the crease and then transferring it to his right. He kept a perfect length and direction and, if you wanted to field close to the wicket say, at short leg, you could stand up to the batsman without any fear. He was quite a decent bat, far better than he was made out to be and too good for a number eleven. He was also a very good fielder.
Herbert Strudwick, the old Surrey and England wicketkeeper (now 88): He was the greatest bowler I ever kept wicket to, for he sent down something different each ball of the over. He could turn it either way in remarkable fashion and I shall never forget keeping to him for the first time in a Gentlemen v. Players match at The Oval. His opening delivery pitched outside the leg stump and flew over the top of the off stump. I said to a team-mate: "What sort of bowler have we here?" I soon found out. Sydney could do almost anything with the ball. On matting wickets in South Africa where I toured with him, he was practically unplayable.
Barnes took 14 wickets for 13 runs, less than one run apiece, playing for Staffordshire against Cheshire in 1909.
Against Northumberland he took 16 for 93 in one day. Even an All-Indian team could barely muster two runs a wicket against him in 1911 when he took 14 for 29.
Fifteen years before he was selected for England he signed for Rishton in the Lancashire League for £3 10s. a week, which included pay for his duties as a groundsman. He received an extra 10s. 6d. for taking six wickets or more in a match, and 7s. 6d. for scoring 50.
Mr. Leslie Duckworth, in his admirable book: S. F. Barnes -- Master Bowler, published in July 1967, states that Barnes in all cricket took 6,229 wickets, average 8.33 as follows:
|Test matches
|County cricket
|Other first-class matches
|For Staffordshire
|League and Club
The tribute by Sir Neville Cardus is based mainly on the one he wrote for the 1963 Centenary Edition of Wisden.
Wisden Cricketers' Almanack
Wisden Cricketer of the Year 1910
He remains the only man to be picked for England whilst playing league and
minor cricket. He took 1432 wickets for Staffordshire at less that 9 runs each, and played for the county until he was over 60

For my BLC-18 team I have to blog about what I want to accomplish this round. What will I be focusing on during this 12-week challenge.
I want to accomplish meeting my goal weight, 98 lbs. (I'm only 4'8"), I want to tone my underarms, abs and thighs. I want to eat more freggies.
1) I will exercise at least 30-45 min a day, some days more.
2) I will do strength training for what was mentioned above every other day.
(arms one day, legs next, and abs everyday)
3) I'm not much of a freggie eater but I will try to eat at least one freggie a day. (I'm a member of the Picky Eaters Team).
4) I want to work on straightening up the spare bedroom so it looks like a bedroom. Okay that might be off subject, but it really needs work.
I used to have a goal to be able to do a split, but that isn't going to happen....although, Priscilla Presley did it on Dancing W/The Stars.
Happy New Year everyone!
"Auld Lang Syne" English Translation (minimalist)
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you�ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I�ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o� kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we�ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine� ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
And there�s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o� thine !
And we�ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
Auld Lang Syne literally means 'old long ago':
Should old friends be forgotten
and never remembered
Should old friends be forgotten
and the days they shared together
For days now in the past, my dear
For days now in the past
We'll drink a toast of kind remembrance
For days now in the past
You can pay for your pint tankard
and I will pay for mine
We'll drink a toast of kind remembrance
For days now in the past
We two have run about the hillsides
and pulled wild daisies
but now we are far apart in distance
From those days now in the past
We two have paddled in the stream
from morning untill noon
but oceans now lie between us
since those days now in the past
So take my hand, my trusty friend
and give me your hand
and we will take a hearty drink together
In memory of those days now in the past
Who is that creeping into my new year? Is it more pounds, chocolate bars and ice cream, inches and tight clothes?
No! I don't make resolutions, because I never keep them, so my New Years PLAN is to eat healthier than I am now and to do a certain amount of cardio and strength a day.
I know there will be days of eating the wrong things, because dh isn't making the same plans and....okay, I give into temptation.
I did get him to agree to making out our weekly menu, so we can schedule some healthier days and eating out days.
Okay, this is a year old, but it still applies:
Thank you so much for your prayers because they are working!!!!!
Jill called to say her doctor called her tonight with the test results. No more cancer in her liver and significant improvement in her bones.
The doctor doesn't want her on the old chemo and wants her to start hormone treatment. She goes to see the doctor on Jan. 6.
I know it was the prayers that did it. Please keep praying for her. Thank you all so so much.
We're all so ecstatic!
Jill went to her doctor today. She will have a test later this month. This chemo is affecting her walking, she has
Neuropathy in her legs, gets dizzy when she walks sometimes. They want to see about another type of chemo. I believe the test is on the 23 of Dec. then she'll see the doctor next month. She won't have any cheno until they decide what to do. She does have pain pills, in the meantime.

Still that means they haven't removed the theme.
It's more of a bug than a feature really. I think MDI child windows in general have the Windows basic theme in Windows 8.
Maybe but they could surely notice that part of the application is themed differently and might be curious on how to enable it.
Easier probably, and 99% of Win 8 users wouldn't have a clue it was even there, let alone want to enable it
Posted 20 February 2013 - 20:56
I know Microsoft apparently replaced all the existing Windows Vista/7 themes but look at this screenshot. It has the Windows Basic theme in the sub windows of IcoFX.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 21:04
It was MASSIVE originally but sized it down, but it does not matter as it still proves the basic theme is there
That pic is so small that I almost spooned out my eyes to get em closer to the screen
Sadly that's probably true.
Doubt it, the majority of PC users just accept how windows is set up as default, maybe change the wallpaper at most

Some big news coming out of the Star Wars camp today as it has been announced that Looper director Rian Johnson will be writing and directing Star Wars: Episode VIII and writing Episode IX. Most likely Abrams will return to direct Episode IX and this will give him the gap and time to do it.
Unless you wanted Abrams to direct all the films this is nothing but good news. Johnson is an incredible director and an even better story teller. Having him pen the screenplays is possibly the best news this franchise has had since the 80s. I can't see a situation where he doesn't knock it out of the park. Directing is a good call too. Though this will be his first truly effects heavy film his work on Looper showed us he can handle sci-fi with the best of them.

Six filmmakers who should direct Star Wars spin-offs
by Alec Kubas-Meyer
When Disney killed the Star Wars Expanded Universe last month, they negated decades of side stories that fleshed out the galaxy far, far away. But they left open the door for a new Expanded Universe, one filled with canon spin-offs that may have to cede some creative control for the sake of narrative consistency, but could allow for some amazing stories to be told that make the "real" Star Wars universe a much more consistently quality world for those who wants to dive into everything (assuming, of course, you ignore the prequels).
Gareth Edwards, director of the just-released Godzilla remake, is the first director to try his hand at this whole spin-off thing, with a film set for December 16, 2016. And while Edwards will probably do a fine job (especially if they give him something involving giant monsters), there are some other directors we'd love to see tackle the Star Wars universe and really expand it in an interesting way.
And once you've read through our list, let us know who else you'd like to direct and what you think they should do with the franchise.view full story + comments

Star Wars: Episode VII cast revealed
by Nick Valdez
Pre-empting possible leaks, with shooting taking place in just a few weeks (and possibly in celebration of May the 4th), the Star Wars: Episode VII crew has announced the cast of the film. And given this huge cast of notable names, I can't wait to see what J.J. Abrams can cook up. That's honestly not something I thought I would catch myself saying either.
Here's the cast. It's lacking some women, but it's refreshingly diverse with John Boyega (Attack the Block) being a huge stand out. Also, the rumored returns of Ford, Hamill, and Fisher have been confirmed:
There are no roles confirmed as of yet, but expect that to slowly reveal itself over the year. This'll be enough to last us awhile anyway. Star Wars: Episode VII releases in theaters December 18, 2015.

You might want to consider your lithium serum level regarding your trouble concentrating, as the two have a high corresponding rate. According to Fredrick Goodwin, the populist Bipolar Expect these days, maintaince serum levels do not need to be as high as once thought. It used to be thought tha maintance levels should be between 0.8 - 1.2 mEq/L, but newwer research suggest that levels can be maintained at between 0.6 - 1.0 mEq/L. Might not seem like much, but that little difference in serum level can make a huge difference in cognitive functioning. Here is a link to a great article about it.
Thx Jns, for the referal to the Psy News - great little article on Lithium. I tak it, despite the caries it causes, because it is the only thing that will tame my mania.
21 Jul 2009
Just out of curiosity, how long have you been taking the lithium and abilify? I would suggest you start off asking your doctor if he/she thinks you need to have your dosages adjusted before giving up and trying something new. There are other meds that help with bipolar behavior such as seroquel and zyprexa, but I would not suggest trying to switch to any one of them without seeking the advice of your doctor. Good luck.
28 Apr 2010
I would highly recommend talking with your Dr. concerning the Abilify. I was on Abilify for 6 years and then went on lithium. My research says it takes about 3 months for abilify to wash from my system. I went off abilify and on lithium in march of 2009, and by the end of may, I developed a severe movement disorder. It has been found that the abilify caused this severe side effect and is likely permanent! Research also says that when lithium and abilify are taken together, there is a much greatern risk for developing at least one severe side effect. Please be very careful. If I were you, I would research abilify and lithium side effects on this site so you are familiar with them should you experience them, you know when to get help. I will say though that I feel lithium has saved my life, for real!!! good luck.
Am I reading correctly that you are still having the movement disorder, even though you are not taking abilify? My doctor just prescribed Abilify and Lithium together and I am terrified. Please write back if you can. Thanks.
Have you talked to your doctor about the memory loss? I was just put on 600mg and have to increase it to 900mg by the end of the week. I have only taken 1 pill this morning so far and I feel drowsy and it is making it hard for me to type words correctly. I am hoping this goes away. Have you been given anything for your sleep disorder? I used to take Trazadone but my doctor just took me off it and I also take Lorazepam.

Royals one of multiple teams showing interest in Andrew Miller
|07.28.14 at 11:56 pm ET
According to major league sources, the Royals are one of multiple teams interested in the services of Red Sox reliever Andrew Miller. Kansas City, however, isn't currently eyeing Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes, who had reportedly drawn interest from the club a few weeks back.
Miller will be eligible for free agency at the conclusion of the 2014 campaign, finishing up a deal that pays the lefty $1,903,125 this season.
"Just showing up to the park ready to play every day," Miller said after the Red Sox' 14-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Monday night. "I can't avoid the rumors. They're inevitable. Whether something happens, I don't know. It seems like there's been years I've been on teams and everybody swears half the team is going to be traded and nothing ends up happening. Other times you think nothing is going to happen and it doesn't. I guess it's good to be wanted. It's out of my control. I don't have a no-trade to evoke. Whenever they tell me to pitch I'm ready to go. Right now my focus is on the Boston Red Sox and getting out some Toronto Blue Jays."
The 29 year old has pitched in 48 games this year, totaling a 2.45 ERA while striking out 65 and walking 13 in 40 1/3 innings.
Miller explained that if he is dealt, there will be no ill will toward the Red Sox, who traded Dustin Richardson for the former first-round draft pick following the '10 season.
"I completely understand the way the game works. It's not a grudge," he said. "I've loved my time here and I sincerely hope it doesn't come to an end in the next couple of days, but if it does it won't spoil it for me. If it does I'm certainly not going to burn a bridge on the way out of town. There's value to us for both of us, so by no means will I close out that angle."

By Yvonne Hartman —
Fredericksburg High School valedictorian Mattie Lastovica on Friday night challenged her classmates to "… discover your passion, turn it into a dream and go get it."
Lastovica led the FHS Class of 2014 through commencement ceremonies at the Gillespie County Fair Grounds on Friday evening.
"I challenge you to take that one thing you love most and pursue it with every ounce of blood, sweat and tears in your body," Lastovica said. "I challenge you to search deep within yourself and find the childhood devotion to your interests and dreams."
This year's senior class totaled 221 students, and Friday night's ceremony opened with the playing of the class song, "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors.
Class members processed in while the FHS Band, under the direction of John Rauschuber, played the traditional "Pomp and Circumstance."

Twenty different seniors received a combined $662,000 in scholarships.
Before receiving their diplomas, the Harper Class of 2014 partook in a long-standing school tradition by touching a Longhorn statue. This tradition, Harper Independent School District superintendent Chris Stevenson explained, symbolizes that as students finish their education at HHS, they are leaving their "mark."
Leslie W. Bray Jr. always wanted to be an airline pilot, but found he loved the military life. His distinguished career took him to stints in the Pentagon and around the globe. — Standard-Radio Post/Ken Esten Cooke
By Ken Esten Cooke
Leslie Bray vividly remembers when his new flight squadron was shipped to Calcutta, India to do missions into Bangkok, Thailand during World War II.
Bray was a squadron commander, leading 60 aviators and 25 new airplanes. Missions into Burma were three times daily.
"All of my pilots were very junior," he said. "Most were not married and most had just come out of flying school.
"We found out when we got there that we were no longer under the Army, and they assigned us to the British 14th Army that was fighting to recapture in Burma," he said. "For two years, we were stationed in India, flying across the Chiyun Mountains.
"The British had no supply system at all, and we took them every round of ammunition, every bite of food, everything came to them from flying usually three round trips per day, India to Burma," he said.
It's "like father, like daughters" as Jimmy Duecker, owner of Allied Ag, shows his twin daughters (from left) Kristen and Katelyn how to use the store's computer to track inventory, look up invoices and change prices. — Standard-Radio Post photo/Richard Zowie
By Richard Zowie
"Service is our business, taking care of our customers in the Texas Hill Country."
That's how Jimmy Duecker describes his company, Allied Agricultural Services in Stonewall.
What Allied Ag sells can be described in one word: agricultural. This includes fertilizer, herbicides, feed, seed and farm chemicals.
Allied Ag began on the Lyndon Baines Johnson Ranch as Hill Country Fertilizer and was affiliated with Allied Chemical. It eventually moved outside the ranch into Stonewall and was transferred to Dale Malecheck, LBJ's ranch foreman.
Around 1970, the ownership changed and re-branded the business Allied Agricultural Services.
Duecker began working for Malecheck in 1975 and in 1978 became a part-owner. Then, in the early 1980s, he bought out the Malecheck family and became full owner.

By Matt Ward —
Land development in southeastern Gillespie County has spurred an increased electric need in that area, prompting Central Texas Electric Cooperative (CTEC) and the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) to propose a new substation.
The project would include not only a new substation near Blumenthal, but also an accompanying stretch of 10-15 miles of 138-kilovolt transmission line.
Currently, CTEC operates with four substations in the county, none located east of Fredericksburg.
"If you think about our map and you have substations throughout it, there's a big hole in eastern Gillespie County where there isn't a substation," CTEC Chief Executive Officer Bob Loth said. "Many of our distribution lines are running 20 to 30 miles from their power source at a substation. The City of Fredericksburg has three substations that they are taking power out of and don't go anywhere close to 20 miles."
Heritage Hill Country residents will feel much safer turning in and out of their subdivision after the Fredericksburg City Council approved an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to construct a traffic signal at the intersection.
Driving the push for an additional signal to be located on U.S. Highway 290 East is the development of the Former Texas Rangers Heritage Center, whose entrance will be directly across the highway from the subdivision.
Funding the light
While the city would normally be expected to foot the entirety of the $227,844 bill for the project, City Public Works Director Clinton Bailey said the city got a deal at a "greatly reduced cost" for construction of the signal.

The Online Issue


text:
The more I read, the more motivated I become. Amazing.
The trick, though, is to take action based on the motivation. I can't just snap my fingers and lose 20 pounds. I need to act on what I read. Like that someone is running three miles a day? Lace up those shoes and get out there! Think it's great that a friend is making smoothies for breakfast and getting lots of good nutrients? Get out the blender and start using it!
The best way to get something done is to do it.
I used to really talk up this idea - I think it helped me with my initial weight loss. But with time, I got lazy. No more.
I am motivated and ready to go.
Today I baked a cake. It's not a healthy Spark cake, it's a 4-stick of butter, cup of cocoa powder, 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate Devils Food with Dark Chocolate Icing cake.
I can't even wait to eat it. Brad and I are going to visit some friends tonight; they are making ribs and pulled pork (YUM) so I volunteered to bring the dessert. Chocolate is always perfect. After my doctor's appointment yesterday, I stopped at Wegman's on the way home. If you are from the Northeast, you know about Wegman's. They have such wonderful food there; lots of specialty food that isn't easily found in other stores. I picked up a box of bittersweet chocolate that was recommended by a few cookbooks.
At almost a dollar an ounce, it isn't cheap, but it's well worth it. It is very smooth - smoother than any other chocolate I've ever had. It doesn't have that aftertaste that chocolate sometimes has. If you need a special chocolate for baking, I suggest you go out and get some of the good stuff!
We finally have snow and it is beautiful. I might go out in a little bit to check it out, maybe take some pictures. I sat around this morning with my coffee totally loving the peacefulness. Sigh.
Lots to do today... drink all my water, do some laundry, clean up the house a bit... have a super day!
It's funny how SparkPeople works. For the last few days I've been in a slight workout/nutrition funk. I haven't wanted to go to the gym, and I haven't been into tracking my food. Not that I'm in a personal funk - I feel good and I'm happy, I just didn't feel like being my Sparky self. Tonight I read a blog that was recommended to me, and it totally perked me up. Sometimes all it takes for me is reading a motivational blog to get totally inspired.
Have any of you ever been in a Spark funk? Sometimes I just don't feel like being careful with my nutrition and my fitness. I still think about my pants fitting and all that fun stuff, but it just doesn't matter. No gym for me. Extra bowl of cereal? Why yes, thank you.
Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment - I love having sick day on Friday. It's so refreshing to have a long weekend (I know we just had MLK Day, but I was at a waste-of-time in-service). I think I might get some fun new pampering stuff after my appointment... perhaps some new pants.
I have to talk to my doctor about changing my pill prescription. I've gained about ten pounds in the last year, and I don't know if it's because I've gotten lax about Sparking or if it has to do with my prescription. I need to talk to her about it.
Brad is out skiing right now, so I was left alone for dinner. As much as I like having Brad around, sometimes it's nice to have dinner alone on the couch. Silence and alone time can be nice.
It's about time to snuggle under the blanket. It's very cold - which could be part of the reason I haven't felt like doing much of anything and why I want to eat an entire box of Girl Scout cookies...
I think my body may be succumbing to a cold. It's been a while since I've had one. But I am SOOOO tired today. I didn't go to the gym yesterday or today, and I honestly don't know if I'm going tomorrow. But one day at a time here.
Funny thing - a Facebook friend wrote that she felt lazy because she had a cold and didn't make it to the gym, and I could totally relate. It was kind of funny because I read it on a site somewhere other than Spark. Huh.
Brad is making a salad... not much else to report. I think I'll be spending some quality time on the couch tonight. Super lazy evening and early bedtime tonight.
I recently got a WONDERFUL book recommendation - The Writing Diet by Julia Cameron. I started the Morning Pages exercise right away. The idea is to write three pages of *whatever* first thing in the morning. The pages aren't meant to be amazing prose. Rather, they are meant to just be free writing about whatever pops into your mind. Well, I didn't think they'd have such a profound impact on me! But since I've been writing in the morning, I have a bit more clarity and I feel like I'm on the right track to furthering my professional life and my creative life.
Today I sent away for information about Curriculum and Instruction Supervisor Certificates. In Pennsylvania, you have to be certified to be an administrator in that area. I already have the masters degree, so the logical next step (and no small thing is the money I spent on the degree!) is to get this certification so I can move on. I've been doing a lot of thinking about my career, and I think I might be ready to move on to the next step. I've been scared to take on more student loans, but honestly, that's really the only way I'm going to get any further in my schooling. I *have* to get this certification to be able to get into a job I want, so why not just dive in and take the next step?!?
This camera I got from Brad for Christmas has really opened up new worlds for me, too. I LOVE my food photography, and along with discovering my love for food photography, I've re-discovered my love for art. When I was younger, I was really into art. I painted, I took drawing classes, and I was a pretty darn good artist. I don't know what ever made me stop. But I'm back into it, and I'm considering some more art classes. I feel much more complete, and I feel like it's helping me in all aspects of my life. I can't believe I'm still learning so much about myself! And all because of a book and a camera.
Our drywall is getting replaced today. We had water damage, and we're finally getting it done today. The house is on its way to getting put on the market. We've been talking about it for so long, and I finally feel like we're ready to do it. I'm not as scared as I was before. I had lots of doubts. I mean, I have a good job, benefits... but Brad is not happy and honestly, there aren't many opportunities for growth around here. Unless we want to drive far, and neither of us do. Part of why we want to move is so that we can get by with less driving and more walking/biking. Greening our lives is no small thing to us! Not to mention getting closer to good food.
I'm thankful for the two-hour delay today. I can get lots of stuff done and it's nice to be at home for some extra time. I feel productive and wonderful!
It's a great day!

Fits Airline MAP, Town & Country, Coronado, Astrojet, Sidejack, Sidejack Baritone, Stormbird, Wadre, Messenger, Jupiter, Saturn 63 and Breadwinner.
We stock a variety of cases, each best suited to the EASTWOOD model guitar. Tolex covered guitar case with super plush interior features center neck mount and accessories compartment.
Posted by Unknown on 21st Oct 2014
Sidejack perfect fit. Big storage compartment and holds the instrument snug. Nice looking Eastwood Guitars logo on lid made me happy when i saw it in person. I love Eastwood.
Posted by Don Myers on 28th Aug 2014
I wasn't able to find an aftermarket case to fit my Sidejack Baritone. Glad that you make one available. Fit is perfect. It arrived on-time and in great shape.
Posted by Will the Thrill on 18th Jul 2014
Got a Stormbird? This well-made case is the answer! The axe is too great to trust a "sort of fits" gigbag. Hardshell is the way to go here, and with one as nice as this, it's a worthy investment FOR SURE!
Posted by Aron Scott/Dr. Tiki on 24th May 2014
Great hardshell case, well constructed, lots of storage for the extra junk we accumulate. Sweet retro eastwood logo in gold just so everyone knows how far out you are! ;)
Posted by Chris Biggar on 17th May 2014
I tried to purchase an Eastwood Sidejack Baritone direct but they had run out of this great guitar but I found one without a case at a shop across the country. I order the case direct and it is all that I expected. Thanks Mike.

Hi: 9° Lo:6°
By Connie Osborne Wednesday 27 August 2014 Updated: 27/08 11:52
THE FAMILY of a woman who was found dead in Hollywood have said they will 'miss her enormously'.
Eve Cullen, who lived in the village, was discovered by member of the public by a footpath near Chantry Close on August 9.
The 52-year-old sparked an extensive search by West Mercia Police officers after disappearing from her home for more than three weeks.
Mrs Cullen was originally from Birmingham and had lived in Kings Norton for 19 years before moving to Hollywood just under five years ago.
She leaves behind her husband of 23 years, Peter, and their three children - Laura, aged 20, and 15-year-old twins Charlotte and James.
In a statement, the family said: "Eve was a very caring person and was very family orientated. She was committed to being the centre of our family and always put us first.
"We have three greyhounds and Eve loved them too. A lot of people would know her from walking the dogs. She was quite outgoing and would always stop and have a chat with people, especially the elderly.
"She was clearly quite well known. We have had piles of cards from people offering their condolences.
"We miss her enormously. It does not seem real that she has gone and we are all still trying to come to terms with the fact that she is not here anymore."
The family has requested the media continue to respect their privacy while they grieve at this difficult time.
Her death is not being treated as suspicious and her inquest is due to take place in January next year.

Hundreds of Boston musicians along with luminaries Jaki Byard, Donald Byrd,and Sam Rivers were featured. Bebop legend Kenny Dorham performed his last concert at Old West Ctmrch and young players such as Pat Metheny, Dave Samuels, and John Scofield appeared at Debbie's. Mark Harvey served as a catalyst for much of this activity, including the Jazz Celebrations series, the Jazz All Nite Concerts, Boston Jazz Week, and the Jazz Coalition, a non-profit advocacy and support organization. At this presentation, Harvey shared his recollections of this significant moment in Boston jazz history. Rounding out the evening, there was music from Mark and other long-time Boston musicians, Arni Cheatham, Peter Bloom, and, Tim Ray.

The band took the pulse of politics and culture with selections like DeEvolution Blues, Through the Looking Glass Blues, and Keepin' On, from the band's latest CD Impressions (Leo Records). The social consciousness thread in jazz runs from Ellington through Mingus and on to Charlie Haden and Archie Shepp, and Aardvark has mined this important tradition for many years.

(Monsieur Delire/Canada). The music conjures up a variety of moods, emotions, and tone colors, as well as inspirations from socio-cultural events in Boston's history, such as the struggle for desegregation of the public schools, the urban renewal fiasco of the old West End neighborhood, and the tragedy of Sacco and Vanzetti. This exploratory music ranges from the lyrical to the Dada-esque, from the meditative to the monumental. Reviews of the recording are enthusiastic:"Exceptional music" Ken Cheetham, Jazz Views"Strange, brooding harmonic language…beautiful playing throughout" Jon Garelick, The Artery/WBUR Radio (https://artery.wbur.org/2014/10/01/jcao-aardvark) "It's great music. Aardvark have an eloquence in their improvisation written inside the art of orchestration. A pity Duke and The Count can't hear where their great art form has gotten to."
