When I spoke about Indian Giving last week I omitted a detail I later realised upon one of my reflective moments..

I asked for the one item back which was possibly childish and got them all.. definitely childish

The thing is I think I sort of asked for the hurt to see how far that person that I would still have welcomed back in my life would go. Well she answered in no uncertain terms that she truly did not give an iota about me or my feelings. No note, not even one telling me where to go.

I had to hold myself back from being super bitchy and listing the things that had been forgotten, possibly they were in use but whatever the reason I refused to lower myself to such a) nasty and b) pathetic behaviour

It has been quite cleansing. I can walk away thinking why would I even want to fight for that?

It has hurt and it still hurts but I drive past her house and my kids ask after the family and I say sorry sweethearts she is not my friend anymore. They say 'why?' I say 'she just doesn't like Mummy, she says I don't make her feel good'. I could go a different route but why? I am not lying to my kids, I am not shying away.. instead I welcome the pain as it is the only way to heal.

Her telling me I was not a good enough friend just makes me want to be a better on to all my others. I choose to live my life these days by find the silver linings, and if facing some pain leads to that then it is the way I will go about it.

Life is too short to dwell on what does not make you feel good..

Do you face your pain or run a mile?

Dexter : I am so in love with watching the bond the kids have with Dexter.. they loved Obi and Tyler but they came into the dogs lives not the dogs into theirs, this is the opposite and Dexter just adores them as a result.
Swimming : The Pool is a regular drop in on Saturdays.. I read, they play.. oh happy days..
The Girls : I managed to find time for lunch with the girls and it was only 90mins but it was sheer bliss
Food : It is like a constant battle. I have a sweet tooth but want to be healthy. This Sixer Juice by Sam is to die for..
Hanging : Hammock is hung, it sits in full sun early morning and shade in the afternoon.. total perfection.Tessa Whitehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com://blog.downthatlittlelane.com.au/2014/11/life-lately_25.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3675335887981038066.post-44632094694234485302014-11-21T08:00:00.000+11:002014-11-21T08:00:01.060+11:00A Little bit o' Leibster..Oh how divine to have been nominated again.. this time by Something Gorgeous

The rules that come with a nomination are as follows:

1. Link back and recognise the blogger who nominated you.

2. Answer ten questions given by the nominator.

3. Nominate ten other bloggers for the award (I am going to do 5 as I only did one recently)

4. Create ten questions for nominees to answer.

5. Notify your nominees.

6. Get an award button and display it proudly.

So my questions are..

What makes you smile?

Oh so many things but if I am counting the things that do it daily it has to be my family. They truly are my everything and my husband is a spunk and total keeper whilst my kids have a bond that I just adore.
Just recently my biggest smile is coming from launching my new brand The Cult List with one of my best friends Kate..

What is you favourite season of the year?

Summer all over, I may moan about the heat at the time but I love the beach, I am revived by sun on my back as I run and easy summer maxi's are just bliss..

If you won a million dollars, what would you do?

I would have my husband stop work immediately and book holidays for every school break for a year. I would pay off the mortgage and then see what was left to invest back into DTLL..

What does your family think about you blogging?

Not much, my kids don't know that I do and my husband knows I have made some amazing friends from it so doesn't question it.. as for my extended family.. they don't read it so rather irrelevant :)

What did you want to be when you were a child?

A Lawyer.. Power Suit, Stilettos and Shoulder pads.. I used to watch LA Law with my Mum, what can I say.

Tell a random fact about you.

I grew up hanging around a race track as my Dad was a Formula 3 Racing Driver

Are you punctual or tardy?

Oh it depends on the day, I am always on time to get out the door but often late due to checking my emails just before I leave and ending up delayed but customer service issues but only when meeting people that know me well

What advice would you give to any new bloggers?

Have fun, be yourself and create your own voice because it is too hard to be someone else

If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would it be?

Wowsers that is a hard one there are so many but I would love to meet Vivienne Westwood. I met her once but would love have a proper sit down chat.

What is your favourite post that you've written?

I have written a couple I am sure but none are a standout above any other so I will link to my favourite recent one which was called Serious Reflection

So now it is my turn to tag and I tag..

Kim, Jess, Sam , Bianca and Chris

My questions are..

Why did you start blogging?
What is your favourite thing to do on a weekend?
What is top of your list for a Christmas gift for yourself?
Do you have a holiday spot you could happily visit forever?
What is your dream job?
Share with us your favourite memory..
What is the best thing that has happened this year for you?
Chocolate or Cocktails and which style?
What is your favourite Social Media and why?
Who is your ultimate dinner date?

Ok who is playing ? Feel free to answer them yourselves or just pick one?

It always looks classic and elegant whilst still somehow being fresh and modern AND when it comes to using it for the kids I love that it never goes off trend so if a decent cost can last the ages.

1. Custom Name Wood Blocks

Personalised and monochrome, these Letter Wood Blocks ($9 each) would happily sit on the bookshelf amongst all the coloured spins of children's books.

2. A Trio of Batman Prints
 Batman is hot property at the moment and I adore the vintage feel of this Dark Knight Trio ($49) as I think they would be as popular with the dads as much as the kids.

3. Cotton On Cushions

I know being from Cotton On they are not so unique but they are oh so fun and affordable. The Dream Big Cushion ($19.95) has such a fab message and Moon and Back ($14.95) is such a cute saying and Batting Mad ($19.95) is just plain goofy!

4. Ikea House Hack
 I LOVE this ever so simple DIY from Mommo Design. Black tape PLUS a white set of drawers and ta da you are done. You could use this on any lighter coloured box too.

5. Santa Monica Cushion

Fresh and with a little touch of the Aztec Trend this Santa Monica Cushion ($83) is 47cm so it's a good size for a kids floor cushion that could then be on a king single bed as they get older.

6. Stormy Quilt Set

I often hear that boys bedding is so hard to find and that is always just car or robot themes. Well this Stormy Quilt cover set ($190) goes against all that and would be just as good for a girls room as a boys.

7. Hey Mr. Spaceman

My kids are now at an age that I can trust them with crockery and I have been slowly replacing all my plastic pieces. These pieces from H&M ($7.95 each) are a definite on my list.

8. Knitted Bean Bag

La De Dah have an awesome range but the knitted bean bag ($129) is a stand out for me.

9. Storage Bricks

Stack them up or scatter them around these Stud Storage Bricks ($15) come in an array of colours and sizes. Lego never goes out of fashion huh?!

10. Monochrome Blankets

Kate & Kate are all about generous sized blankets and they have quiet a few designs in black and white. My favourite is the Jagger ($119) and the Geometric ($119) comes a close second.

11. Geometric Cross Decor
 We can start them early on the monochrome path with this beautiful cross geometric mobile ($135) and the banner ($75) to match.

12. Batboy Pillowcase

I couldn't resist rounding off one more Batman piece, after all he is the master of all-in-black superhero. The Batboy Pillowcase ($31) is just the best. I already have it on my sons bed with the girls version on my daughters.Tessa Whitehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com://blog.downthatlittlelane.com.au/2014/11/monochrome-decor.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3675335887981038066.post-8259364143285073632014-11-18T08:00:00.001+11:002014-11-18T19:05:42.237+11:00Indian Giving..

I am curious.. have you ever asked for a gift back?

I did it a few weeks back. I had bought this stunning piece of framed art for a couple last Christmas of which I now know the female didn't even like me anymore at the time that I gave it to them. I didn't make her feel good about herself so she had distanced herself from me and my life.

Thats all well and good but I didn't find out about that until 6 months after and it had me realise that the beautiful piece had gone to waste. That didn't really bug me until I started driving past their house each week on the way to Nippers and kept making me envision it sitting in the loft..

So I did it, first time ever, but I messaged and said can I have it back. I wouldn't re gift it but I want to give it back to the artist or to charity I just want the loving karma it was gifted with to end up somewhere other than in that house

I also offered to have a piece of personalised jewellery I bought her changed as I had gifted it with the words 'you are special' at a time when she was feeling far less than so. I didn't want it back as at the time of giving it I am pretty sure we were still good mates but thought she may want to change the wording..

It felt kind of wrong but it also felt like something I needed to do and whilst possibly selfish it is not like it is going to ruin a friendship as she had already made it clear that was over..

Have you ever taken a gift back? Am I odd?

* funnily enough, she never responded but returned both items and even a few others to my front door step with no note.. my emotions? incredibly hurt but very happy I can just move on and focus on those that stood by me when I was doing it tough setting up DTLL alone not the ones that jumped ship.

Free to air that is..

Our family, well Marcus and I, had mumbled about cancelling Foxtel from after about a year of moving to this house (we had never had it in any previous abodes) so after 4 years of apparently umming and ahhing we finally cut ties.

The clincher for us was actually our children..

Kitty walked in one day and mentioned she was going to get her dog his 'kibble'. 'Kibble, what on earth is kibble?' 'Oh you know Mum its what Odi eats in Garfield'.

The duo both used the words 'awesome' and 'rad' far too frequently considering our children had never seen a skateboard at that stage AND I could not stand to wake up to them scrolling through the plethora of dumb cartoons that are really made for teenagers and fart, belch and have too many inuendos.

Marcus and I realised most of what we watched as a couple was either already on free to air or would be soon and if not we could just get the DVD series.. talking True Blood, Suits, Orange is the New Black etc so the only thing we would loose was The Housewives of every State in the USA, Vanderpump Rules and a few other shows that would never return us back the hour of our life we had wasted watching.

It has been at least 4 months.. we are richer in every way..

Cash, of course...
I get to watch Ellen daily instead of Housewives...
If we run out of stuff recorded we go to bed..
Best bit.. our kids watch DVD's when it is down time and never even bother to turn it on in the morning.. they just play.

Its been like us moving house.. I wish I had done it earlier.. what the *^%# was I waiting for?

Why am I sharing? In case you are thinking the same.. GO FOR IT!..

Do you have Foxtel? Have you got rid if it and loved it? What shows could you never kick?

I had lunch the other month with Sonia and Bron. Those two girls are good for my ego. You see they have only known me for 4 years or so. They have watched me ride some huge waves and seen me be very honest about how tough they were alongside growing from the journey. Both girls know me in the personal and work capacity, they know how much I adore and cherish the community DTLL has created despite what I have given up to get there and well lets just say they let me know I have something and am someone to be proud off.

Whilst chatting about some less desirable personalities we had come across in business of late I said to Bron at that lunch it is amazing to talk about these people and not relate to them as they are the person I used to be. I haven't been that person for a very long time as from the day I met Marcus I have shifted slowly but surely into the person I am today but I can now look back and see what a selfish person I once was.

I recently lost a friendship I had really valued as during the 'riding the waves' part of setting up DTLL I had not given enough of my time to her. It hurts and I am really sad she felt that way but she never voiced it and so I never knew. The thing was at exactly the same time I had another girlfriend who was not only not getting enough of my time but the time she was getting was actually filled with negativity. I was just not myself and she ignored it and dug on through.. I came out the other side and she actually said 'I am so happy to have my Tessa back'.

It wasn't until loosing one friend that it highlighted to me how amazing another one was to me.

It wasn't until listening to Bron chat about an egotistical character that I realised I used to be one.

It wasn't until I started really absorbing my husbands advice that I actually found I could action it.

It wasn't until I started taking the time to reflect every few months that I worked out how to live a better, happier and more fulfilling life.

Do you take time to reflect? Do you use what you find and take it to a better place?

I have wanted to go to Sculptures by the Sea for quite a few years and work has always been too busy but this year I forced myself to go.. I found a few excuses.

One of my besties won a comp as best amateur photographer there last year with this image so I just had to take the opportunity to wander around with a superstar..

That same bestie is the one I have dedicated a whole post to in a week and was one of the few I spoke about in my loyalty post and we were in need of some time out, just us two..

... it is in Bondi so I got to take her to see Guy of Bondi Harvest at The Depot for lunch AND my Bondi office is above so that makes it work huh?!

Have you been to Sculptures ? It travels too.. WA at the mo but more to come I hear..

Designing : Kate and I have been designing away, it has meant I have spent some time in the workshop and it all feels very special.

Nippers : The kids started the other week and it is fab, I think it is important for them to understand the surf given we live by the ocean but to see them running around with the little caps on brings some Aussie pride to a Mumma's heart

Tumbalong Park : I went there on the way back from the Sea Life Aquarium and the kids loved it, fab food all around and one of the biggest, bestest parks I have seen in a while

Travel : My husband does too much of it.. the odd day is easy the minute we get past 3 days I feel the toll of tiredness kick in.. makes me even happier to have him around when he is :)

Light Lust : I gave in and bought the little lady from Typo. It is a lot smaller than I imagined but still cute none the less..

Walks : I walk Dexter daily but my joy on the weekends is having the family along side in the glorious sunshine

Birthday : I had one, it was filled with food, exercise and friends..

What have you been up to lately?

Dickhead title but man could I be addicted.. I bought my gorgeous girlfriend and business partner Kate an experience for her B Day and of course experiences are not much unless shared so got myself a ticket too..

We went to the workshop at The School by Joanna Fowles I have always wanted to go to a workshop there and this was the first time I have treated myself to one.. Oh boy did it deliver. Not only do you get to be hands on but the people you are there with are equally as excited as yourself and so much fun to be around..

I have more little bits to show you but will do that at a later date.. we dyed leather, silk and even my duvet cover so I will share those once made into cushions and on my bed etc :)

Kate and I have decided from this point forwards all gifts must be experiences shared ones if possible but experiences either way.. and no not spa stuff but learning and growing ones.

What do you give your besties for their B days? Have you been to The School?

Tessa Whitehttps://email@example.com://blog.downthatlittlelane.com.au/2014/10/bondi-harvest-berry-chia-ice-poles.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3675335887981038066.post-35252365149645111702014-10-23T08:00:00.000+11:002014-10-23T08:00:01.142+11:00Loyalty..

There is something that possibly ranks higher than love for me and that is loyalty.. true loyalty is born from an unconditional love, a connection that has you want to ride out any ups and downs that life chucks at you to ensure that person stays in your life and is the happiest you can make them given any circumstance.

I am a fiercely loyal person. I take attacks on my friends to heart like they were my own. When my friends are upset I stress about them and when they are just not right I worry about them until I see them smile again.

I would drop anything and go anywhere for a friend in need and I am lucky enough to have a husband that gets that and would do just the same.

I wrote a post a while back about how it is ok to loose friend ships and I still stand by the fact that it is but I do think that if the friendship was true that you would want to fight for it, you would want to work through it and pop out the other side stronger.

It was my birthday this week and there were a few well wishes missing since last year due to lost connections. It could have made me sad but it didn't. I feel so lucky to have had the ones that were not loyal enough to fight fall by the way side leaving me with the quality people to surround myself with.

I always have an amazing reflective day on big occasions as they are yearly and you can really look back at where you were 12 months before and compare. I choose to always find the good in the year and lets just leave the shitty past bits as in the past.. 'cos they are shit so no need to take them forward into the future huh?!

Are you a loyal friend? Has it stung you? Do you reflect much?

The other day I was over on Kontent Blog sharing my favourite link right now and this was it...

This is the instagram account of Mark Bustos, a hairdresser to the stars who works 6 days a week and then on Sundays goes out to the streets and offers homeless people a haircut. He simply says to each person,'I want to do something nice for you today'.

His feed reminds me of H.O.N.Y but I find it even more uplifting, as the responses from those that he touches are always positive and his haircuts are amazing; they truly transform the person and I have no doubt it works as much on the inside as it does on the outer.

Who would ever guess this guy was homeless?'

What will you do today to make someone feel special?

Do you ever have days where you have to explain the unexplainable to your kids? I did the other day..

I come home from a day with my little lady and we see a package on the deck.. Kitty hops across and shouts.. 'it says Totally Hooked Mum'..' What?' " Are you sure?"..

I go to investigate and start muttering 'oh she is so silly' ' thats naughty' 'so unnecessary' 'quite ridiculous'

"What Mum?'

"Oh sorry Kitty, you know that lovely lady we met at the markets the other day that you bought your neon basket from?' she nods.. 'Well Mummy has been sorting out some business cards for her last week and she has delivered this beautiful basket to say Thank you'

'So Mum are you angry with her? Why are you angry if she is saying Thank you?'

'Because she is too nice sweetheart, I am not angry just amazed at how lovely she is and saying she is naughty because she has done something nice she need not have done'

* Cue confused face and about 50 more questions as she followed me around the house whilst I moved everything around so I could have it pride of place in my favourite vignette spot!

Its a funny thing to explain to my kids why I admire the things I do in people or why I someone who outwardly appears amazing is really not all that but it is one I enjoy as it has us discussing people and their inner beauty instead of the outer that so often gets spoken about more..

Do you chat with your kids about what really make someone beautiful?

Lets see how to get wild about watermelon with new seasons fashion, homewares and more.

 1. Watermelon headband
 Even if your little person was acting up a treat you would never be able to stop a smile breaking if you turned to see them in this Kapow Kids Watermelon Headband ($14.95)

2. Watermelon vase
 A cluster of these Lovestar Watermelon vases ($99) would add a fruity cocktail to your walls year round.

 3. Watermelon wallpaper
 The full wall or just a feature strip, this Jimmy Cricket watermelon Wallpaper ($40) is oh so cute. I have seen a few people decorate the back of bookcases with it too, which looks amazing!

 4. Watermelon cookies
 We all know the kids will be rushing to eat their fruit when it comes in the form of watermelon Cookies! No special cookie cutter required, get the how-to from Glorious Treats.

 5. Watermelon lamp
 This Heico watermelon Lamp ($198) looks so realistic it's good enough to eat. Not a bargain price for a child's room, but it would age with the kids. Hey, I would like one now and I am nearer to 40!

 6. Happy watermelon cushion
 I totally adore the whole collection from House of Wonderland but the Happy Watermelon Cushion ($37) just, well, makes me happy!

 7. Missie Munster romper
 Perfect for the warmer months for little ones. The Missie Munster watermelon romper ($39.95) might even hide some of the juicy dribbles from eating Watermelon all summer long.

 8. Watermelon Wall Decals
 Pops of Pink that you can peel and reveal. These removable watermelon decals ($42.95) by Speckled House would be a fab idea for renters.

 9. Watermelon Watch
 Possibly a little early to think Christmas but um, hello, the ultimate stocking stuffer? This Watermelon Watch ($39) by May28th is so cute and useful at the same time. (Time ... you see what I did there?)

 10. Watermelon wood print
 Channel your best Dirty Dancing lines with this 'I carried a watermelon' wood print ($60).

 11. Watermelon juice
 A kick of ginger and mint will take your fresh watermelon juice up a notch. Here's a recipe.

 12. Watermelon pillowcase
 Do you get hungry during the night? Have a midnight snack with a watermelon pillowcase ($32). Sweet dreams!

What is your fruit of flavour? I think bananas are pretty cool too...

I have kids that are just like me.. short tempered, very grumpy if bored and need to get active often to ensure decent sleep (good thing they have my hubby involved in their DNA as he adds the good stuff)

We all love to watch TV and as I am a little over re runs of Toy Story, Cars and the rest we have developed a few new areas of viewing over the last year or so that works for all of us and has become a new area of conversation and activities..

One is cooking shows and the other is action sports, all 4 of us curl up and compare over what we think of the dishes and how they would taste or who we think will come out fastest/on top during an endurance race or event.

One of the shows we are mad about is American Ninja Warrior and as a result of it being about mastering random obstacles our house was becoming a little assault course each morning. The common theme amongst competitors was that they have a gymnastic base or partake in parkour so one night I decided to see what was available locally to harness our kids climbing monkey abilities and maybe point them in a more useful direction.

What is Parkour?

Parkour is ' a holistic training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training. People aim to get from A to B in the most efficient way possible.They do this using only their bodies and their surroundings to propel themselves

Enter AAPES.

We rocked up the next morning and the kids had a ball being taught how to go with the flow and move more like our primates, how they can clamber a wall up high without just using the upper body, how to fall and roll without damaging your bones and how to clear an obstacle without hardly touching it!.

We enjoyed it so much I wanted to share as it seems such a great way to have the kids active but being safe whilst having some serious fun..

Have you tried Parkour? Had you even heard of it?

Spent a weekend in January at the Carroll Villa to celebrate my husband's birthday. We had a room on the second floor of the annex which is above the Bar and restaurant - not a big deal if you are out late as we were but definitely a consideration if you're planning on turning in early as the bar is a hot spot and there was (great) live music there both nights we were there. It ended at 11:00 pm but it is worth noting.
The hotel is conveniently located near quaint Washington Street Mall and just half a block from the shore, so it's easy to park the car and explore the town on foot. The Bar is very popular (with both locals and visitors) and is a great place to grab a happy hour drink (3 - 6 pm) and listen to some great talent or get some advice on what to do from one of the great bartenders. The owner, Mark, is definitely a presence and gets out and interacts with guests. We had a very enjoyable stay.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Carroll Villa is a family owned and operated 21 room Bed and Breakfast Hotel and home of the Nationally acclaimed Mad Batter Restaurant. Our building is a registered Historic Landmark, circa 1882, located in the heart of Cape May's historic district, half block from the ocean, and one short block from the Victorian Mall. Our Rates include full breakfast for two. All rooms have antiques, private bathrooms, air conditioning, ceiling fans, LCD TV's and phones. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, T4B, Odigeo, Travelocity and Tingo so you can book your Carroll Villa Hotel reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

AMC's epic series 'Hell On Wheels' returns Saturday nights at 9 p.m., and to celebrate, WYRK is giving you the chance to throw down in Music City with Brantley Gilbert!
Country artists are on the road a lot! While touring, many artists just want to make their tour bus or time on the road feel like home, and they do that by bringing a few special things with them.
Brantley Gilbert and his best bud Sylo took to Facebook Tuesday night to announce some exciting news. Gilbert and his pup revealed the second leg of the singer's Let It Ride Tour via YouTube video.
Brantley Gilbert imagines he won't be a country singer forever -- and he's got a plan for when he's done touring and needs to pass his free time.
Fans will have to wait until August to hear the full versions of Brantley Gilbert and Justin Moore's Motley Crue covers, but both singers have released teasers early. Gilbert sings 'Girls, Girls, Girls,' while Moore plans to make 'Home Sweet Home' his next single.
Brantley Gilbert was the proud owner of a 1968 Mercury Cougar ... until he needed money to keep his band on the road. He tells Taste of Country how the sale went down -- and how he got his precious car back (Hint: Jana Kramer was involved).
There was an extended lull between Brett Eldredge and Brantley Gilbert's sets on Sunday night (June 22) at Country Jam Colorado, but it didn't last long.
Taste of Country followed Brantley Gilbert home to Maysville, Ga. to get UpClose with the singer, and it was there that he proved that his new album 'Just as I Am' is purely Gilbert ... just the way he is.
Brantley Gilbert recently released his third studio album, 'Just As I Am,' and he's very proud of the songwriting on the new project.
Day One of the 2014 CMA Fest at Nashville's LP Field kicked off swimmingly on Thursday (June 5).
As 2014 nears the halfway point, it's time to reflect on the best of country music. The best songs, the best albums and the best moments of 2014 come from newcomers and superstars. They come from awards shows and reality television. The Best of Country Music 2014 comes from all over.
Travis Tritt took to his Twitter account this weekend to express his opinion about a recent show opening for Brantley Gilbert. Tritt, Thomas Rhett and Clare Bowen all opened for Gilbert at the Blue Ridge Music Festival in Salem, Va. and something sparked a comment by Tritt.

Since childhood, Sabriel has lived outside the walls of the Old Kingdom, away from the random power of Free Magic, and away from the Dead who refuse to stay dead. But now her father, the Charter-Mage Abhorsen, is missing, and to find him Sabriel must cross back into that world. With Mogget, whose feline form hides a powerful, perhaps malevolent spirit, and Touchstone, a young Charter Mage, Sabriel travels deep into the Old Kingdom. There, she confronts an evil that threatens much more than her life - and comes face-to-face with her own hidden destiny.
Garth Nix was born on a Saturday in Melbourne, Australia. He has won the Aurealis Awards for Best Fantasy Novel, Best Young Adult Novel, and Best Children�s Novel. His novels include Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen, Shade�s Children, and The Ragwitch, as well as the books in The Seventh Tower series and the first five books of The Keys to the Kingdom, Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday, Drowned Wednesday, Sir Thursday, and Lady Friday.

12 Reasons You Can't Stop Eating
When it comes to snacking, do you feel like once you pop, you can't stop? Your biology, habits, and surroundings may all be to blame.
7. You eat in front of the TV
A recent research review from the University of Birmingham in the UK suggests that distracted eating makes you consume more food during a meal as well as later on. A smarter alternative to eating screen side: "Carve out time, disconnect, and actually sit down and put food on a plate," advises Gans. "Make it an actual meal instead of a grab and go."

Liberty Counsel: Re-Election of Obama put America on the 'Road to Self-Destruction'
Just before the election, Liberty Counsel, like other conservative groups, was quite confident of President Obama's defeat. In fact, LC deputy Matt Barber said that "the question now becomes whether Romney will win by a comfortable margin or a landslide," ultimately predicting a landslide. During Faith & Freedom with LC chairman Mathew Staver, Barber continued to spin the results and said that Obama's 332 electoral vote win represented merely a "razor thin margin."
Staver, however, was much more downcast and repeated claims from his post-election statement that America is in moral disarray. He said voters "looked at evil and they adopted it" by supporting Obama and wondered, "have we actually lost America, has the American dream been dealt a devastating blow?" Staver reiterated a claim made by pastor John MacArthur that Democrats have based their platform on Romans 1 by supporting gay equality and abortion rights. "You really have a Romans 1 platform that is being adopted, that is the platform that Barack Obama promoted, that is the platform that he ran on, that is what he stands for, and people looked it that and they adopted it," Staver said. "And when you adopt evil as your platform, you become evil, and you ultimately go down the road of self-destruction."

For Street Food Lovers: Typhoid Prevention and Symptoms
Monsoon is one season when street food should be off limits and all for good reason. A common disease that rapidly spreads through food, typhoid usually affects those who frequently indulge in street food. If chaats and pakodas from your office street vendor are your favourite evening snacks, then you need to be aware of typhoid and its implication on your health. Dr. Deepak Gupta from Internal Medicine at Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute in New Delhi has a warning for you.
Dr. Gupta reinforces the fact that unhealthy eating habits could lead to typhoid, "Typhoid is caused by the bacterium Salmonella enteric typhi, which is transmitted by the intake of food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected person. Poor hygiene habits and public sanitation conditions help in the spreading of these bacteria."
However, you can do a lot to avoid typhoid. Dr. Gupta reveals the preventive measures to keep bacterium Salmonella enteric typhi at bay, "The prevention of typhoid can be done at two levels. At an individual level, one should wash hands before eating, raw food items should be washed properly before eating, etc. At a community level, awareness programmes about health education and hygiene should be held regularly. Further, clean water for drinking and proper sewage facilities should be provided to the masses."
Visit the doctor if you have these symptoms and, mind you, there are no home remedies to cure typhoid, "A person suffering from any fever, which lasts for more than five days should get oneself examined for typhoid. There are no specific symptoms apart from abdominal pain." Dr. Gupta says the treatment would include, 'antibiotics accompanied by a proper and healthy diet.'
What's more, if you get typhoid once, it doesn't mean you're off the hook. "A person can suffer from typhoid more than once, and one can get infected by the bacterium Salmonella enteric typhi again. Suffering from typhoid once does not guarantee immunity and protection from getting affected by the bacteria again," says the doctor, leaving us with plenty to ponder upon. So if you'd rather stay fit and healthy, especially through this monsoon, then banish street food from your daily menu.

Young Money rapper Drake's alleged face-off with singer Chris Brown appeared to be the topic at hand at his Long Island concert last night (June 16) with reports claiming Drizzy hinted at the incident on multiple occasions.
According to reports, "Heartbreak Drake" hinted at what went down throughout his Club Paradise showcase.
With extra security in place, Drizzy alluded to the bottle-throwing incident early in his performance. "When I woke up this morning, I had to think about a lot of things," he told the crowd of 15,000. "But the only thing I gave a f**k about was that I was in New York City tonight." A couple songs later, he brought up the topic again. "You were having a good night so far, you done had a couple drinks, you done met a couple thangs, and then the ni**a in the corner start looking at you funny and you feel a motherfu**in' way about it. And then somebody going to the bathroom bumps you with their elbow and you like, 'What the f**k?' At that time in my life, there's really only one ni**a that I wanna hear," said the Young Money rapper, before Waka Flocka joined him for "Round of Applause." (Rap-Up)
Heading into the weekend, Cash Money boss Birdman defended Drake in light of club fight accusations.
"Well, to me, I think n—as got Drake twisted. A lot of n—as be playin', pitty-pattin' with Drake. I don't like that sh–, period," Birdman said to us in an exclusive interview. "Drake is one of us, so if you f—in' with Drake, you f—in' with us, period!" Birdman wasn't in attendance when the fight broke out at W.I.P. in NYC, but firmly believes the Take Care MC did nothing wrong. Drake alleges he wasn't involved in the melee, which left a number of people injured including one of Brown's bodyguards and NBA player Tony Parker. "To me, Drizzy ain't did nothin' wrong, he ain't done nothin' wrong to nobody. He just doin' great music," Bird said in defense of his artist. "He's not a reckless guy out there just wildin' out; he's a humble kid makin' great music." (MTV)
Reports claimed Drizzy faced a reckless endangerment charge over what went down.
Rihanna-loving rapper Drake — whose nasty note to Chris Brown sparked a VIP-room melee — is going to be arrested for throwing a bottle at his rival. Drake is expected to be charged with reckless endangerment, sources said, after a witness told cops the hip-hopper hurled the projectile during the 4:00 am local time mayhem Thursday at the SoHo hotspot W.i.P. The witness did not believe Drake hit anyone with the bottle. If Drake does not agree to surrender by early next week, cops may arrest him during tonight's concert at Jones Beach, the sources said. (Fox News)
Despite the gossip, Drizzy's camp denied he had anything to do with the club fight.
Drake is adamant … he is not responsible for the bloody gash on Chris Brown's face … claiming he was simply leaving the nightclub when the brawl broke out … but sources tell us, the fight started after Chris Brown and a rapper at Drake's table started trash talking each other. The rapper hanging with Drake — Meek Mill — was screaming at Chris and Chris was giving it right back to Meek Mill. One of Chris' lieutenants was also involved in the screaming match. One source says Chris was hurt when Meek Mill hit him with a bottle. A rep for Drake tells TMZ … "Drake did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind last night at W.i.P. He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began." The rep adds, "[Drake] did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property." (TMZ)

INTERVIEW - Iraq Sunni leader questions Maliki election message
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An opponent of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said the premier's message of nationalism and inclusion was little more than a ploy to win votes in March's polls by appealing to Iraqis disgusted by sectarian destruction.
Saleh al-Mutlaq, popular among Iraq's once dominant Sunni minority, is not the only voice casting doubt before the elections on the nationalist line taken by Maliki, who heads a religious party founded to expand the clout of Shi'ite Islam.
"It's not possible for a party that has been sectarian from its beginning, for dozens of years, to suddenly become nationalist," Mutlaq said in an interview.
In 1957, the Dawa party's inaugural meeting was held in a Shi'ite religious leader's home. Dawa later went on to battle the secularist regime of Saddam Hussein, a Sunni Arab who kept Shi'ite religious powers under tight control.
While Maliki's speeches are laced with repeated references to the importance of national unity and dangers of sectarianism, Mutlaq said Maliki was bound to be swayed by his party roots.
"Even if he personally believes sectarianism isn't the answer, he is forced to listen to the beliefs of others in the party and by its policy, which is fundamentally sectarian."
Mutlaq is hoping his alliance with Iyad Allawi, another secular politician and former prime minister, will win over Iraqis disillusioned by the religious parties that have dominated politics since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
To do so, their self-described progressive movement must poke holes in the nationalist, non-sectarian discourse adopted by two leading blocs, led by Maliki's Dawa party and Maliki's main rival, the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (ISCI).
Mutlaq, an agriculturist who prospered in Saddam's Iraq, had a similarly withering assessment of ISCI, Iraq's largest Shi'ite party that has close ties to majority Shi'ite Iran.
Those dominant parties have failed Iraq since 2003, he said, by stacking ministries with flunkies, nudging security forces' loyalties toward party interests, and encouraging the sectarian mentality that brought epic Iraqi-on-Iraqi bloodshed.
Almost seven years after Saddam's ouster, the stable, prosperous Iraq envisaged by the Bush administration has not yet emerged. Many Iraqis complain their lives have become worse.
Despite a remarkable turnaround in Iraqi security and the tantalising promise of its oil sector, power supplies fall far short of demand, corruption is widespread, and jobs are scarce.
A number of recent high-profile bombings have jarred public confidence in local police and soldiers, and presented Maliki, who rode to victory in provincial polls a year ago on his claim of having turned around Iraqi security, with a major challenge.
"The fundamental problem in this country is that there is a government, but there is not a state or institutions of state. We want to build a country of institutions and a real state of law," Mutlaq said, referring to Maliki's State of Law coalition.
Again and again, Maliki has proclaimed that the era of sectarianism is over in Iraq.
"We began to gather people together anew, without discrimination on the basis of affiliations. This is part of national reconciliation," he told tribal leaders this week.
But some Sunnis blame him for failing to give them state jobs and for taking too tough a line on welcoming back those associated with Saddam's government.
Ali al-Adeeb, a senior Dawa member, said the prime minister's successful offensive against Shi'ite militias in 2008, a turning point for a man selected from relative obscurity, was proof he is no sectarian.
"Maliki is deeply convinced the country needs a nationalist policy ... This is the only thing that can govern Iraq in the future because it won't allow any party to dominate," he said.
Despite talk of inclusion, Mutlaq sees a limited role for other minorities, notably the Kurds, who make up a fifth of Iraq's population and have ambitions to expand the boundaries and influence of their largely autonomous northern region.
In Mutlaq's Iraq, both the president and foreign minister would be Arab. He complained that Hoshiyar Zebari, a prominent Kurd who has been foreign minister since 2003, and Jalal Talabani, a Kurd elected to the presidency in 2005, spent more time lobbying for Kurdish interests than thinking about Iraq.

I am building a new Xcode project template and I want to include a library that is non-ARC. But my whole project is ARC, so the only way how to build the project is to specify a compiler flag (
-fno-objc-arc) on the files from that library.
How do I do that in an Xcode project template?
I tried setting it on specific files in the
Definitions dictionary, both as COMPILER_FLAG and CompilerFlag. Neither of them works.
I have found absolutely no documentation on this, but I am pretty sure it can be done.
Apple replied to my support request stating that there is no way of doing that right now. So unfortunately, we are out of luck, until they finally do something about the templates and their documentation.
I've got an idea how to hack this a little bit by using a build phases script, that will check the Xcode project and add the required flags. I will post an answer soon.

More Maddie Briann Aldridge Pictures!by Free Britney at . Comments
The good folks at OK! Magazine keep releasing more photos from their shoot with Maddie Briann Aldridge (and her parents Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge). Man, it's like they are determined to upstage Honor Marie Warren!
One interesting new fact we just learned: Maddie's middle name, Briann, is an ode to Casey's cousin Brian, who died in a car accident a week before her birth, and Jamie Lynn Spears' and Britney Spears' older brother, Bryan Spears.
As for her first name, Casey Aldridge gets all the credit. "Maddie is a name that Casey thought of, and I really liked it," Jamie Lynn Spears says.
Here are some cute shots of unwed teenage mom and baby:

Adams: Putter making Hagler's long drive worthwhile
Thomas Hagler IV delivered a performance worthy of a Roman numeral in Saturday's third round of the Knoxville Open. He did it with a long drive and a hot putter.
The drive began early Saturday morning in Chattanooga. Once he made the commute up I-75, his putter took him for the best ride of his pro career.
The 24-year-old Hagler, who grew up in Ringgold, Ga., and now lives in Chattanooga, one-putted nine greens en route to a 9-under par 63, a course record for the tournament at Fox Den Country Club. That left him tied for third place, only two strokes behind tournament leader Jarrod Lyle.
"When the putter gets hot, good things happen," was Hagler's matter-of-fact explanation for the best round of his young pro career.
You would have never guessed it by his demeanor afterwards. Hagler, whose name is pronounced "Haygler," made a career round sound like a routine day on tour.
This isn't even his tour. The former University of Alabama golfer has been playing on the Hooter's Tour. But he decided to skip this weekend's trip to Oklahoma and take a shot at qualifying for the Nationwide Tour event.
He qualified with a 66 Monday. Since then, he has been getting better by the day, starting off with a 71 Thursday, followed by a second-round 68.
After Saturday's 63, you can anticipate more commuters from Chattanooga for today's final round.
"My parents and some of my friends will be here," Hagler said.
Some of his friends were there Saturday as well. Dick and Nancy Eden, who watched Hagler play in high school, followed his record round from start to finish. So did David Brentz, who has been making the daily drive with Hagler.
Brentz is apparently different from most of Hagler's young friends in that he actually knows something about golf.
"I could call (most of his friends) and tell them I shot a 63," Hagler said. "And they would say, 'Is that good?' "
To make his point, Hagler referred to his recent experience while attempting to qualify for the U.S. Open on an Atlanta course.
"I got one of my friends to caddie for me," he said. "Bad idea."
Realizing that his friend didn't know the game, Hagler got him a cart. That was a bad idea, too.
After Hagler had a double-bogey on the second hole, his friend headed off down the cart path in the wrong direction.
"So here I am sprinting down the course after him," Hagler said. "I probably ran 150 or 200 yards. He ended up turning around at the fourth hole at the women's tee box."
Almost everything has gone right for Hagler at the Knoxville Open. He hasn't even encountered a traffic jam on I-75.
Given his success so far, Hagler isn't plotting any exotic changes for today.
"I'll stick to my game, get some putts to go and not change anything," he said.
He won't change his lodging, either. Never mind that he's competing for a tournament championship. The risk of a long, early-morning drive is worth a night's sleep in his own bed.
"I don't like hotels," he said.
So he will make the drive and trust his putter.
