I've always struggled with finishing projects.
I love starting a new project. I always have a journal in my purse overflowing with more ideas than I could possibly ever execute. So when I start something, and it doesn't go perfectly, I often leave it "for later" and never return.
This album was one of those. I started it a month or more ago. I wanted to make an album for Penny to remember a special vacation that we took just for her. I know children's memories are very... hmm... let's just say "spotty"? So I wanted to give her something simple and tangible to remind her of this trip we took.
I started the album during a busy week, got all my photos printed, then set it aside and forgot about it for a few days. And the days became weeks, and you know what happens from there.
This week I saw the partially made album sitting there and decided to just finish it. FAST. And I did. I cut out the photos and threw it together in twenty minutes. And it felt AWESOME.
You know what the best kind of scrapbook is? A finished one!
My challenge to you is to go find that partially finished project and just knock it out. You'll feel inspired and productive, I promise!
Products used: Coral Album, 1 extra pack of 4" x 4" page protectors, chipboard letters by Pink Paislee (which I attached with Glossy Accents)

If you are planning to decorate for a dinner party this holiday season, it's a smart idea to plan out a mix of both easy and hard projects for your tablescape (or all easy if you're in a rush!). Place cards are a great addition to a table in that they add a decor element and show your guests where to sit without any awkward seat fumbling or fighting. You just can't argue with a place card. For Friendsgiving we wanted to add quick, but cute, place cards to each seat, and our new "Hello My Name Is" stamp was the perfect choice for the occasion.
I just cut pieces of white cardstock that were 4" x 7", folded them in half, and stamped the stamp at the bottom. Once the names were filled in, we were all set!
This stamp is great for seating at dinner parties, but I was also thinking how cute they would be stamped on a brown paper bag for a kid's lunch. Have you thought of any other uses for this adorable stamp? xo. Laura

Perfect party food alert!! This is not a drill, you guys. I really have found one of the best party appetizers ever. I discovered this delicious little gem when I went to a birthday party at our office manager, Jacki's house a few weeks ago. Her friend Mallory had brought the most delectable looking little crostinis topped with roasted grapes and rosemary garnish. I've certainly never had roasted grapes before, so I didn't know what to expect. But they were so good that I literally stood next to the table for the next 45 minutes and ate more than my fair share of them. I made a few small tweaks to Mallory's recipe, and I think it's a winner!
Roasted Grape + Honey Goat Cheese Crostini, makes 20 crostinis.
3 cups washed and halved grapes
2-3 sprigs of rosemary
6-8 oz. of honey goat cheese (or just mix in some honey to taste with regular goat cheese if you can't find honey flavored)
1 large baguette
olive oil
Begin by taking your washed and halved grapes and putting them in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil on top. Finely chop your rosemary, add it to the grapes and olive oil, and mix together.
Preheat oven to 450˚F, and place the grape and rosemary mixture on a baking pan. Bake the grapes for 17-20 minutes until their skins are wrinkled and begin to blister.
Turn the oven down to 350˚F. Cut your baguette into thin slices. Brush each side of the bread slices with olive oil, and bake on another baking sheet for 7 minutes or so until they are toasted.
Spread your honey goat cheese onto each crostini, and top with your roasted grape and rosemary mixture. Mallory used a combination of goat cheese and cream cheese for her creamy base, but I thought that honey goat cheese would be delicious as well and add another layer of flavor to the bite. Try it both ways!
The creamy and tangy taste of the honey goat cheese pairs so well with the sweet earthy taste of the grapes and rosemary, and it all comes together in a nice crunch with the crostini underneath. This would be great for a holiday party appetizer, and I seriously can't wait to have people over so I can make this (although mostly for myself to eat of course). Think you'll give it a try at your next party? xo. Laura

A few weeks ago I took a challenge to photograph a week in our life and make an album out of it. The challenge was created by my pal, Ali Edwards, and you can read more about her thoughts on it here. I've read Ali's blog for, like, ten years (hers was the first blog I ever read actually, and an early inspiration for starting my own blog!), so I've seen her do this challenge year after year, and I've always loved the thought of it. But for whatever reason, I never joined in myself until this year. Today I'm here to show you my album and share my experience with documenting a week in my life through photographs and then an album.
Like most people, I don't feel like my everyday life is all that interesting. For the most part my weekdays and weekends are pretty routine. I go to work at 8am. I sometimes take either a coffee or lunch break with Jeremy. I work till five-ish. We eat out a lot. And some nights we cook easy meals at home. We watch The Mindy Project and Scandal and The Biggest Loser. And on the weekends we do brunch and usually work a few hours in the afternoons (Jeremy loves working to break up a day, and I am always behind on my to-do list), and then go to a Mixtapes show or hang out with another couple. And to me, that pretty much sums it up! We have a happy life, but I didn't feel like I would have a lot of different things to take photos of. I was worried my album would be boring.
Well, I was right, and I was wrong.
My week wasn't perfect, and it wasn't always photogenic. It was boring at times. It was a stressful week at work, not one of my best. I didn't get tons of awesome photos every single day. But what I did get, I LOVE. Taking the photos and making the album made me realize how many special in between moments each week is filled with.
Looking back through it now, I am so glad I took the challenge. I am so glad I didn't quit on Tuesday. I feel like the album accurately portrays the ups and downs that my real life is made of. The week happened to fall on Halloween (yay!), and there are some super special fun photos in there of our funny costumes and my niece's Disney princess moment. But there are also photos of the little things, like a cleaning day I had and some outtakes from a work shoot that I wouldn't have normally printed.
All in all, I'm so happy I took this challenge. It inspires me to do more. Next up, December Daily! (Last year was my first year and it was totally worth the time invested.)
Alright—enough talking. Here's a bunch of photos of my completed album—
(I used our Emoji Stamp Set and Jet ink to stamp the entire inside cover of my book. I love the pattern it adds as well as the sentiment of a very emotional week!)
(Had to include a closeup of Penny's epic solo sword fight.)
What do you think? Do you feel like everyday life is awkward or special to photograph? I think it's definitely both. :) xx. Elsie

I have to admit that I've never been the girl that's really into nail art. In fact, if there was a "skip" button on Pinterest, the same way you can skip a song on Pandora, I would probably have skipped the entire category all together. However, I have been noticing lately that there are some simple nail ideas that I not only like, but that I would actually do myself at home. I've also been noticing the really cool nail decal patterns that are around now, and this is a simple way to use them to make a custom look without a trip to the salon.
-nail file and buffer
-base coat nail color (I used this)
-patterned nail decals (like these)
-clear top coat (I used this)
-small scissors
1. Trim and file your nails to your desired shape and smoothness. Paint 1-2 coats of your base color with adequate dry time between coats.
2. Lay the corresponding size of nail decal strip next to your finger and line up the beginning of the strip with your cuticle. Flip the strip over to the blank side and mark with a pen where the tip of your nail ends. Use your scissors to cut the nail strip into a triangle shape that comes to a point at that mark.
3. Peel the top and bottom backing off the nail decal triangle and stick the tip of the triangle onto the end of your scissors. Position the rounded bottom of the triangle just above your cuticle and press the bottom of the triangle in place. Slowly peel the scissors away from the tip of the triangle and smooth out the rest of the decal (you could also use tweezers to position the decal as well).
4. Finish your look with a quick-dry topcoat, and your new mani is done!
If you like to keep your nails on the shorter side like I do, you can actually get two manis out of one set of decals. Just cut your triangles from one end of the strips for the first manicure, and then use the opposite end as the widest part of your triangle next time. I think this look is really fun, and I like that it feels simple and modern as well. I guess there's a whole new world of nail designs out there, ladies, and I don't know about you, but I think I'm going to get on board! xo. Laura

Mashed potatoes have got to be one of the ultimate comfort food side dishes. So, so good. Creamy carbs? Now it's a holiday!
This is about the easiest EVER way to make mashed potatoes. The only way it could get easier is if farmers/food scientists could create some kind of self-peeling potato. I don't know if I would ever eat that as it sounds INSANE. But I would sure be tempted.
Maybe for Halloween next year I should be a mad food scientist. Which would pretty much be a mad scientist who is holding a bag of potatoes all night.
Or maybe that was the worst idea I've had this week. I'll never tell.
Oh, this totally feeds a crowd. Look at the giant pie pan of mashed potatoes! Don't make this amount for just you and your significant other, or you'll be eating mashed potatoes for a week.
Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes, serves 6-8+ as a side dish.
5 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or water
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup milk (go ahead and use whole milk if it's a holiday)
salt + pepper
chives or cheddar cheese to garnish
First peel and cube the potatoes. Throw them in the slow cooker with the vegetable stock (or water) and butter. Cut the butter into small cubes before adding. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours and 30 minutes.
Once the cook time is up, mash the potatoes. I used a potato masher. You could also use an immersion blender, potato ricer, etc. But I think the masher is the easiest option.
Add the sour cream and milk and stir to combine. If it still seems too thick to you, add more milk until you get the consistency you prefer. Taste and add as much salt and pepper as you think it needs.
Just before serving, top with chopped chives or some shredded cheddar cheese (or maybe some french fried onions—go nuts!). If I'm serving gravy, then I usually omit any cheese to my mashed potatoes, otherwise I add plenty of cheese. But that's just a preference thing, so change it up based on what you and your guests like best. Enjoy! xo. Emma

I'm a little bit late announcing the December book club selection this month, guys. Sorry I made a few of you wait (and thanks for reminding me!). Truth is I really, really want to read Amy Poehler's new book, Yes Please. But then that kind of makes two comedian books in a row, and does that mean I'm not bringing enough variety to the book club? Will everyone be like, "Hey, I'm sick of laughing. Pick a different book, lady. This is a blog riot!" Or something like that.
But then, I kept hearing good things about this book. One person described it as "affirming." And if there is one adjective that you can use to get me interested in something, it's probably affirming. Or positive. Or if you mention Amy Poehler is involved, then I'm probably already in anyway.
So, we're doing it! We're reading Yes Please. You should go get your copy. Buy it. Borrow it. Steal it from your roommate. Whatever. Let's do this. I'm ready to laugh and be affirmed by Amy Poehler. Yes, please! (See what I did there!!!!)
Don't forget we'll be discussing Not That Kind of Girl on November 30th. This book has turned out to have quite a bit of controversy around it this month. So, there's that. Anyway, I'm excited to connect with you, my fellow book-lovers. xo. Emma

Guys, I'm thinking about starting a crème brûlée blog. All crème brûlée, all the time. Would you read that?
Oh, you would but only for a week before you got too bored?
Plus I already bought the domain. BruleeMe.com
JK. I don't own that. If only.
In all seriousness, I do often fantasize about making a batch of crème brûlée, storing them all in my refrigerator, and pulling one out each night to brûlée just for me. I also have a dream to stay healthy. And these dreams conflict, so it's hard to say which will win.
Which brings me to my next project, a self-help book titled, "What to do When Your Dreams Conflict."
Spoiler: you choose the delicious dream. Duh.
Actually, no, I take it back. Stay healthy, guys. I want to blog for you until I'm a grandma and my crafting habits finally make sense.
Sweet Potato Crème Brûlée, makes five large ramekins or 6-7 smaller ramekins*
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
8 oz. cooked sweet potato (I used canned, drained from the can juices)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup fine (baker's) sugar
15 mini marshmallows for garnish
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined. Add in the sweet potato and blend well. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Then stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and heavy cream. Pour into your ramekins, place in a baking dish with a lip, fill the dish with water (this is baking in a water bath), and bake at 325°F for 50-55 minutes. The centers should look set but with a slight jiggle. They should not appear to be entirely liquid.
*I have a number of different sized ramekins (or oven-safe bowls) I've collected over the years. The ones I used here are larger... what I would consider "sharing size," so they are deceptive in how many crème brûlées they will make. This recipe could easily produce 6-7 smaller, more standard size crème brûlées had I used a different sized ramekin. Also, if you do use a smaller ramekin here, keep in mind you may need to adjust your bake time. It may take 10-15 minutes LESS to bake if you use smaller vessels. If you feel unsure, just keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to ensure you don't overcook them.
Once your custards are baked, allow to cool before covering and refrigerating. You will want to refrigerate these at least a couple hours before serving. But you can easily make these a few days ahead of any event. I made mine two days before our Friendsgiving, and they were delicious the day we ate them, with hardly any work on my part that day to prepare them. I LOVE make ahead desserts. :)
Just before serving, top each custard with a thin layer of fine sugar (regular granulated sugar will work as well), and brûlée with a kitchen torch. Or you can do this under your oven's broiler, just keep a close eye on them so they don't burn.
Since these are sweet potato crème brûlées, I thought it would be fitting to top each with three mini marshmallows and toast those as well. This is completely optional as it's really more for the look of the dish than the taste.
Yay for unexpected, make-ahead desserts that still feel impressive. Plus this was SO delicious. I wish I hadn't been so full from the meal so I could have eaten the whole thing by myself. :) Enjoy! xo. Emma

Yahoo Acquires Ad Network BlueLithium
This afternoon Yahoo announced that it was buying US-based ad network BlueLithium for $300 million in cash. Founded in 2004, the company has 10 offices globally and claims more unique US visitors than Google, MSN, AOL and eBay. It also claims to be the fifth largest US ad network and the second largest in the UK.
It's part of Yahoo's push to create "the largest and most effective online ad network globally." That network includes the recently acquired RightMedia Exchange. The company will apparently operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Yahoo and will report into Hilary Schneider's new organization.
Most of what BlueLithium does is behavioral or demographic targeting, which has recently seen a big push by Yahoo via its new SmartAds platform. This acquisition can be seen as partly defensive and partly offensive in an effort to retain brand advertisers that have more choices today and to build out a broad and efficient online ad network that offers huge reach (incl. beyond Yahoo), as well as targeting and search.
Not long ago AOL acquired BT ad network Tacoda.

'Girls' Creator Lena Dunham Seeking $1 Million for Book (Report)
The young auteur will dish on losing her virginity, obsessing about death and an awkward date with an older director in "Not That Kind of Girl."
Girls creator Lena Dunham is set to start taking bids Tuesday for a proposed book of essays, Not That Kind of Girl: Advice by Lena Dunham, according to a report by Slate.
The online magazine says Dunham's literary agents have set a $1 million floor for bids for the book, with initial offers due Tuesday.
Slate reports the book will include essays about losing her virginity, eating healthy, worrying about death and "the most awkward date ever with an older director."
Dunham will also offer dating and life advice.
Dunham's essays have already appeared in The New Yorker and Tavi Gevinson's Rookie magazine.
Her most recent essay in the Aug. 13 issue of The New Yorker recounted her relationship with a college boyfriend and the personal crisis that ensued when his mother--several years after their breakup -- unfriended her on Facebook.
Dunham is the creator of HBO's Girls, which is a semi-autobiographical series about four twentysomething women navigating life in New York.
It debuted on April 15 and was nominated for an outstanding comedy series Emmy this year.
Season two, now filming, is set to begin airing in January.

Angels watching over us
Location: N/A
By: Gloria Los Banos
Many people are unaware of the numerous ways how the angels have protected and guided us. Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist.
It wasn�t until 2011 that things started to really happen in the way of angels to help my spread the Word of God. These angels appeared in the summer by opening doors that were closed. The first appearance happened while I was at church with my parents. There is a crying room for parents with small children. At the front of the church to the right side is the door opening to the church. I was sort of listening to the Homily when all of a sudden the door opened slightly. I felt a loving warm presence that I have never felt before. I was overcome with joy and continued to listen closely to Father�s Homily. The second time was at St. Claire Parish Rectory in Santa Clara. I was on a committee for WCEA/WASC, and the door opened to the conference room. There was no wind just another great feeling of someone present. Just before this happened I had been praying for guidance so it might have been the Holy Spirit. The third time was at my home while I was cleaning the living room. The inside door to the garage opened, and this time the feeling was different. I said hello and thanked God for the angel�s presence. After three doors opening without explanation, I had to tell my friends the wonderful news. We went walking at Shoreline Park then went to breakfast like we always did for the past 8 years. As we ate our crepes and drank coffee, I proceeded to tell them about the three doors opening. They�re eyes were wide opened; however, I sensed a little disbelief. At that moment the table moved as if a phone was on vibrant. My friend asked me if I was doing anything, and I said no. My foot rested on the bottom of the table as well as my hands on top. It happened again. My friend and I felt it. I moved away to see if it would make a difference. My other friend did not feel the first two times so I asked her to put her hand on the table, but it was too late. She did not feel it. Betts felt it three times. We could not explain how the table moved. She said, "I am a Doubting Thomas� (Thomas was one of the apostles to Jesus who did not believe Jesus rose from the dead until he felt his wounds and touched his side.) This was probably a sign for more things to come.
Before the school year began, I went to the third grade classroom to set up the desks. I heard footsteps down the hall and children�s voices. Next I heard laughter, however, there were no children present and in fact no one was present except for me. I knew it was going to be a wonderful year.
On December 23rd, 2011 my husband and I invited his two sisters, Justin, Luis, fianc� to his niece, and great nephew over for dinner. We finished eating around 7pm so we decided to open gifts for Christmas since we were going over to my parent�s house on Christmas Day. We took many pictures and in four pictures we saw white, yellow, and blue angels. Just before we took pictures, my sister-in- law and niece said they heard a noise at the door. I only heard a creaking sound and told them it was the banister that surrounds the living room. I felt a love in the room that I never felt before. I knew we had visitors and thanked God that we could now see them.
I share these stories because I believe that God wants us to know that we are not alone. We have many saints and angels in our lives every day. My saints and angels are here to guide me on my journey. As I pray the Angel of God each day and call upon my Guardian Angel to be by my side to rule in God it has become more transparent what my mission is in life. It is to continue to spread the Word of God but to a larger audience. These saint and angel stories are all true, and I have many witnesses that have felt and seen these angels. I hear them in my dreams too. Every day I pray for all souls to depart to God and for us to live in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
My strongest prayer is this � O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven especially those most need of thee mercy. Amen
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

I made this up because I needed a simple vegetable side dish with souvlaki. This works well with meat, chicken or fish, and people have really enjoyed it when I make it. I prefer the texture of oil-packed sundried tomatoes here, but dried would also work. I use a vegetable grill basket/wok to cook this in, but roasting the veggies would also be nice. Let me know if you try it that way.

"Great truck for all around family use and towing"
I have the 5.3 in my trailblazer and it goes good has great take off but loses at high end... gas mileage is about16.5-17.3. I bought it with 30,000 and has just about 70,000 miles now and has had no major problems. The truck is fun to drive especially with having 300 horse but the gas milage does hurt a bit on long trips.

Thanks to Benoit Allard, there is now a way to sync the newer fitbit devices from within Ubuntu! I've packaged it up and put it in my PPA, so now it's easier than ever to sync your Fitbit. To install (make sure the USB dongle is plugged in):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwayne18/fitbit
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install galileo
sudo start galileo
The sync should now happen in the background, and will sync automatically every 15 minutes.
There was recently a thread on reddit about whether or not people use scopes, and as usual, the vocal "UNITY SUCKS I HATE CANONICAL BECAUSE I LOVE GNOME2 AND WISH IT WAS STILL 1996″ crowd was present, although there were also quite a few positive answers. What it made me realize most, though, is how much Unity/scopes can do that people don't seem to know about, so I thought I'd take the time to highlight some of these cool features that I use on a pretty regular basis. Most of these utilize a super basic feature that most people don't even know exist: the use of keywords in Unity. So without any further ado:
Like most people, I find myself wondering what the weather is like outside, while I sit inside and work on my computer anyway, you know, just in case maybe I want to go outside. Now I could open up Chromium, go to weather.com, then search for my zip code, and figure it out that way, OR I could just hit the super key, then type 'weather'. That's it, no location necessary, it will use GeoIP to figure out where I am, and will give me the relevant weather data right there! If I wanted to figure out the weather anywhere else in the world, I could simply search "weather: city name" and get it.
Clicking on a specific day will give you more information, including the High/Low temperature, as well as a button to open more info in your browser.
This is one scope that I use probably every single day. A simple calculator is built directly into Unity. No keywords are needed, just type in some math, and Unity will spit out an answer. Simple as that! Note if you're worried about other results showing up, you can use the info: or calculator: keywords to get just the results.
Sometimes, I'll come across some word that I don't understand. It happens to the best of us… right? Well, instead of loading up dictionary.com, I can just press super, and type "define:word" and get my definition right there. Easy right? Doing that will bring up a list of words, and clicking one will get you the definition, as seen here:
Sometimes, you just want to know where the closest Dunkin Donuts is. Luckily, I live in Boston, so it's never more than like 20 feet away. But to find out where it is (especially useful if you're on vacation or a business trip), just hit super, then type foursquare:dunkin donuts (info: will work as well!). In some cases, you may not even need the keyword at all, but if you want to be sure you're getting foursquare results, be sure to add it. Selecting a result will show you the address, and a link to open up a browser to its Foursquare page.
There are many, many more awesome scopes to use (github, virtualbox, news, stocks, and wikipedia come to mind) that I'll try and write about soon, but this will hopefully at least help some people discover some of the awesome features in Unity that most people don't seem to know about.
Inspired by Stuart Langridge's Ubuntu Edge Progress Indicator, I decided that it would be a good idea to make a new indicator. The first thing that came to mind was my Fitbit, so that I can keep track of my steps straight from my OS. So, I updated the account-plugin-fitbit online account, and made a new indicator to show you the number of steps you've made so far today. The indicator looks like this:
Currently it's not very configurable, and will show a notification once you reach your steps goal. This is still in an alpha state, but I think it is ready to be tested by people that aren't me. To install:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwayne18/fitbit
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install account-plugin-fitbit fitbit-steps-indicator
To start, log in and log out, or simply reboot. Any questions or comments, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'm currently working on fixing this up to get it into Universe for Saucy.
Stuart Langridge wrote a great little indicator app to keep track of Ubuntu Edge's Indiegogo crowd-funding progress. The one thing it was missing was being packaged, so i went ahead and took care of that. To get the indicator and keep track of the progress straight from the desktop! To get the indicator:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwayne18/ubuntu-edge-indicator
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-edge-indicator
To run, either run ubuntu-edge-indicator from terminal, or simply reboot
Back in November, I realized that I needed to make a change. I've always been a big guy, but I was now the huge guy, and I was sick of it. Since then, I've lost nearly 100 pounds (99.5 at the moment). I realized that someone else may be able to learn from my experiences, and so I figured I'd write up some of my findings in the off-chance that it can help someone. For those that are lazy like me, here is the TL;DR of my key points:
Losing weight is hard. Food tastes good, and exercise sucks. If losing weight were easy, fat people wouldn't exist. I think one of the reasons that my diet has been successful is that I understood this from the start. I knew that this would be hard, I knew it would take a lot of work, and I knew at first it would be straight up hell. It turns out that it wasn't quite hell, but it sure was difficult. Knowing and understanding this gives you a leg up already, over people that think "oh this is easy! I just wont eat cake anymore". Acknowledging how hard it is will help you ensure that you actually want to lose weight, and are willing to fight through it. If you're reading this and thinking 'screw that, it sounds hard' then maybe you really don't want to lose weight. And if you don't want to badly enough, you won't do it.
One of the problems that people have with diets is that they'll successfully lose a bunch of weight, and then think 'ALRIGHT now I'm done, I can do whatever I want'. Unfortunately, this isn't true. If you go back to doing whatever you want and not watching what you eat, you will gain weight back. The fix for this? Realize that you're not just going on a temporary diet. You're changing your lifestyle for the better. You will need to continue to eat healthy, you will need to continue to exercise. The good news, is that you can be way less strict once you reach your goal, you just have to make sure to keep up the lifestyle to a certain degree. When you reach your goal, maybe you only have to go to the gym 3 times a week instead of 5. The point is, that you do still have to go to the gym/exercise, and you do still need to watch what you eat.
The difference between a successful diet and a failed diet is simple. It's not whether or not you stray from your diet, because everyone does sometimes. The difference is how quickly you get back on the diet. If you mess up your diet on Friday, and think 'well I already ruined it, I'll start over on Monday', you are much more likely to fail. If you mess up lunch on Friday and think 'I'll get back on for dinner', you are that much more likely to succeed. It's a simple tip, but it is definitely easier said than done. Also if you do go off your diet, go to the gym again. Take a 15 minute walk. Do something to make up for it.
There's a bunch of different ways to do this. Find someone to play catch with. Play basketball. One thing that I did to make sure I exercised and didn't hate it was made sure that I always had something to watch. The first few months I only let myself watch TV while I was exercising. This was also when I was about 3 seasons into Doctor Who. You can't just not watch like 3 episodes at a time of that. Needless to say, I got a lot of exercise that month. Another thing I do to make it fun is make it a competition. I got a FitBit (a glorified pedometer), and I have a bit of a competition with one of my coworkers. I'll be tired and not want to go to the gym one day, and then think 'well, if I don't go, Matt might. I can't let him win!" and then I'll end up going.
It's pretty simple, really. That said, you still shouldn't eat 2000 calories of nothing but twinkies in a day and expect to be healthier too. But remembering this simple formula will help you get back on track if you stray. Say you had too much ice cream, well, now you either need to go work off that extra 300 calories, or have 300 fewer calories than normal for dinner. As long as you've got a caloric deficit, you're losing weight. I've found that trying to eat around 2000-2200 calories in a day works best for me.
The FitBit is a small device, essentially a pedometer on steroids, that counts your steps and stairs climbed, and uses this information (along with your weight) to calculate your calories burned throughout the day. The goal of this is to show the user how active they are on that day, and to persuade them to become more active. FiBit also awards badges to the user depending on how many steps they took (5,000 steps, 10,000 steps, etc) to further motivate the user. You can pickup a fitbit here
I've been using my fitbit for some time now, and realized that the badges reminded me of something in Ubuntu — the Ubuntu Accomplishments! The only problem was that the FitBit API needs to be authenticated over OAuth. The answer to that became obvious when I happened to look at the System Settings in Ubuntu and found Online Accounts. After spending a weekend reading up on Online Accounts and how they work, I started hacking.
The result of this hacking, is the new FitBit account plugin! You can now authenticate to FitBit through Online Accounts, and use that plugin to check for your awarded badges, and will display them as Ubuntu Accomplishments. Matt Fischer did a phenomenal job writing the accomplishments, as well as the scripts to check for the badges over the FitBit API. After installing the fitbit accomplishments collection, you can see all of your badges in the Accomplishment Viewer, seen below.
To get these accomplishments, you need to authenticate FitBit first. To do this , open the Online Accounts from System Settings. You should see this:
Click on "Add account ", and select FitBit. This will bring up the FitBit authentication page, which will look like this:
Simply Authenticate with your FitBit email/password, and select "Authorize" . This will complete the process, and allow the Accomplishments system to get all of your fitbit badges!
To get the account plugin, and Fitbit Accomplishments simply run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fitbit-accomplishment-maintainers/daily
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-accomplishments/releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install account-plugin-fitbit ubuntu-fitbit-accomplishments
P.S. Be sure to join the Ubuntu Fitbit Group!
After reading Michael Hall's blog about adding Unity Previews to Singlet, I knew it was something I needed to add to my singlet lenses. The most obvious choice to me was allowing users to git clone a GitHub repo from the Preview. After a couple days of experimenting, I finally figured out what to do and how to do it. Instead of git cloning repos into any random directory, I had the lens search for a gconf key for your "Projects Directory", where you would want to git clone projects to. (In my case, ~/Projects). That gconf key is found at /app/unity-lens-github/project-dir. If you don't supply a directory, it will default to your home directory.
To get some feedback for the user, I decided to run git clone in a newly opened gnome-terminal, as well as to ensure no hiccups happened along the way.
Github Lens Previews from chris wayne on Vimeo.
The lens is again available in the Scopes Packagers PPA. To upgrade simply run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. To install, run:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:scopes-packagers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-lens-github
Note that this update will only be available for 12.10 users, and you will need quantal-backports enabled to get the updated version of python-unity-singlet.
Now that Ubuntu is up and running on the Google Nexus 7 tablet, the community has become very active, logging bugs, asking questions on Ask Ubuntu, and trying to help out with the project. This level of community involvement is absolutely fantastic, and we'd love for it to keep up, as this will help make Ubuntu better for everyone. One area I'd like to focus on (as a QA person) is bug logging. A good bug report is instrumental in getting your bug fixed. An informative, well-written bug will always garner more attention than a simple "Onboard sucks, please fix it." In this post, I'm going to go over what people will be looking for in a bug report, and walk through how to write a concise, informative, helpful bug report. An example of a well-formed bug report can be found here. If you have never logged a bug before, I would also suggest reading through this wiki page.
Where does the bug go?
Many of the bugs filed against ubuntu-nexus7 are valid bugs on other platforms as well. Due to this, we need to make sure that the bugs are logged to their respective upstreams. This will allow for the right people to find and fix the bugs, and for the fixes to make it into the Upstreams, meaning the fix will be available for everyone. It is sometimes obvious what the correct upstream package would be, although sometimes its not so simple. For example, if you are logging a bug against the on-screen keyboard, it should be logged against 'onboard'. A kernel bug will be logged against 'linux', a Unity bug against 'unity' and so on. If there is a case in which you are unsure of the upstream, it's okay to log the bug to the ubuntu-nexus7 project. We will do our best to find the upstream and make them aware.
If you do know the upstream, please log the bug using ubuntu-bug. This is as simple as running ubuntu-bug <package-name>. This will auotmatically grab all of the relevant logs and information, making it easier to log a good bug. One thing to make sure of is once the bug is logged in launchpad, make sure to make it 'Also Affect' the ubuntu-nexus7 project. To do this, open the bug in launchpad, and find the "(+) Also affects project" button and when prompted, input 'ubuntu-nexus7′ as the project.
What should the bug contain?
A good bug will contain 6 essential pieces.
After a couple of weeks back in forth with the nice people over at the ARB (application review board), it seems that the GitHub Lens is now finally available for all without having to go through the hassle of adding a PPA. Yes, anyone with a 12.10 install can now simply install straight from the Software Center (or even apt-get install if you're up for it). To download from here, simply click this awesome button:

One of the disires I have had for a while is that we try to use our musical talent at Sanctus in a creative way of expressing something to or of God. So it seemed appropriate as a follow up to the Love Language services that we look what song would you like to sing or play to God. So we had a service that looked at peoples songs that they wanted to sing or play and asked why this song? We concluded with a spirit inspired jaming session which sounded wonderful; a must do again!

Without really realising it, autumn is upon us! A time of change, trees losing leaves, days drawing in and clocks changing. It also a season of remembering. "Remember, Remember the 5th of November" and Remembrance Day. But this only Sunday service (Wednesday will be focused on fireworks), we looked at reclaiming Halloween as a time to remember those who we have known but have died, and also those who have died and no one was around to remember them. Rest in peace.

During September we have had a series of services thinking about the most essential part of our lives - love.

President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton return to their seats after speaking during the transfer of remains ceremony for Benghazi victims at... View Enlarged Image
Scandal: The pilot who flew the survivors of the Benghazi tragedy to Germany says we could have rescued those who died and that the State Department knew who was attacking as it listened to the terrorists on captured cellphones.
In her book "Hard Choices," Hillary Clinton doubles down on the administration's Benghazi lies, writing that President Obama "gave the order to do whatever was necessary to support our people in Libya. It was imperative that all possible resources be mobilized immediately."
Of the terrorist attackers, Clinton, the originator of the Benghazi video lie, says:
"It is inaccurate to state that every single one of them was influenced by this hateful video. It is equally inaccurate to state that none of them were."
We'd like to introduce the former secretary of state to Eric Stahl, a recently retired major from the U.S. Air Force. Stahl was the commander and pilot who flew the corpses of the four killed at the Benghazi mission — U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. Also on board were the survivors of the raid. All were taken to the U.S. military base in Ramstein, Germany.
Stahl, who — like Clinton — was for some strange reason never interviewed by the State Department's Accountability Review Board, says, no, we didn't do whatever was necessary and that none of the survivors knew anything about a spontaneous protest or a video that was put forth by her and by Obama repeatedly as the cause.
In fact, says Stahl, the State Department knew that night it was a terrorist attack.
Stahl told Fox News' Bret Baier that members of a CIA-trained Global Response Staff who raced to the scene of the attacks were "confused" by the administration's repeated implication of the video as a trigger for the raid, because it "knew during the attack ... who was doing the attacking."
The administration knew, according to Stahl, because immediately after leaving the consulate in Benghazi and moving to the (CIA) safe house, there were reports "that cell phones, consulate cell phones, were being used to make calls to the attackers' higher-ups."
Interestingly, a Defense Department targeting memo sent to the State Department two days after the attack, and two days before then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice spread the video lie on five Sunday talk shows, listed 11 suspects: four connected to the al-Qaida affiliate in North Africa known as AQIM, and seven connected to Ansar al-Shariah, a group with ties to the terrorist network.
