I don't know a lot about folk music - but again what are genres anyway? I just like music. Still, folk tends to refer to traditional music - a time before amplification where the sound emanated from an instrument and voice. It's straight forward until the 1960s came along. This was an era when many things became a little weird. Artists like John Fahey and the Holy Modal Rounders offered folk that was surreal, odd and kinda freaky.
The term Freak Folk is relatively new. It refers to a new generation of singer/songwriters that are a little weird. And there's that lineage to the original Freak Folkies.
I love Devendra Banhart. His guitar work is firmly rooted in Fahey but he's a crooner/troubadour. And it's twisted. "Poughkeepsie" off of Rejoicing in the Hands (Of The Golden Empress) is one of my favorites. It's kind of dark but doesn't get too spooky with it's references to Elvis Presley. "This Beard Is For Siobhan" is Bahnart as the troubadour.
Like Salvador Dali, or even Fahey, Banhart's has a penchant for long titles. Oh Me Oh My...The Way the Day Goes By the Sun Is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming Lovesongs of the Christmas Spirit is a collection of low-fi, short tunes that are either sweet or kind of menacing. The work draws you into a strange world. "Lend Me Your Teeth" is on the menacing side.
I just ordered his brand new work What Will Be.

If your life is full of stress and you're finding yourself more and more exhausted, you may have adrenal fatigue. Learn the symptoms of adrenal fatigue and steps to bring back your vitality.
Feeling exhausted? Low on willpower? Having difficulty losing weight? Think it's your thyroid? Think again...because many hypothyroid symptoms are so similar to adrenal fatigue that the two are often confused.1
On top of this confusion, tests for thyroid and adrenal problems are often difficult to interpret correctly. Some doctors believe that even if you had low thyroid function, it could be adrenal stress causing the problem to begin with, which would be difficult to diagnose without more tests.2
Body Ecology teaches that creating energy in a person's body is essential in order to establish, regain or maintain health...and it's your adrenals and your thyroid efficiently working togetherthat really supply you with energy.
Your adrenals, two walnut-sized organs that sit on top of your kidneys, are the workhorses of your body. If you are exhausted, chances are, your adrenals - AND their partner the thyroid - need attention.
What happens when the adrenals and thyroid have lost their life force or "spirit?" Your digestive system, the organs in your brain (e.g., hypothalamus and pituitary), your thyroid, liver, endocrine system, sexual organ system, heart and central nervous system suffer.3
The adrenals are your "life saving" organs because they control your body's hormones and help you survive in stressful situations. They act as control organs for your "fight or flight" response and secrete many of our most important hormones including: pregnenolone, adrenaline, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol.
Cortisol, often referred to as the death or stress hormone, does have some life-giving tasks. For example, cortisol helps: prepare your body for survival in stressful situations, metabolize carbohydrates, protein and fats into energy, slow the immune system's inflammatory response, regulate the balance of converting insulin in breaking down sugar for energy and helps maintain your cardiovascular health and blood pressure.3
Cortisol becomes the "death hormone" when levels remain too high - which it does under chronic stress.The human body was designed to respond effectively to stress and then have periods of rest in between. Unfortunately, our modern day society is so full of constant stressors that we are no longer having that time of rest.
There is an eloquent connection between your adrenals and your brain. These organs are constantly in communication with each other using chemical messengers (or hormones) that flow between the adrenals, the hypothalamus and the pituitary.
When your adrenals are constantly stressed this sets off an autoimmune, inflammatory response in your entire body. The adrenal-hypothalamus-pituitary feedback loop regulates the secretion of cortisol.4 All of your organs AND your immunity are impacted negatively by the resulting constant assault of cortisol. Cortisol suppresses DHEA the" youth hormone."
Your brain obtains this hormone from your adrenals. DHEA is the most abundant hormone in the body and your brain has an enormous "appetite" for DHEA.
When you understand all these connections, it is easy to see why there is such a wide-range of symptoms when the adrenals start to burn out.
At Body Ecology, we believe adrenal fatigue is an underlying factor in just about every physical, emotional and spiritual problem we are suffering from today.
By now you know how a stressful lifestyle affects your adrenals, but what about diet?
What you eat absolutely affects the health of your adrenals. The worst offenders create an acidic condition in your blood and rob your body of precious vitamins and minerals.
Certain nutrients, especially B-Vitamins, Vitamin C and minerals are essential for feeding your adrenals. Of these, perhaps most important are minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, etc).
Are you suffering from adrenal fatigue? Your adrenals need plenty of high quality minerals and these days, farming methods have depleted minerals from our produce. The good news is that you can nourish your adrenals with Ancient Earth Minerals. Ancient Earth Minerals has the highest quality, bio-available humic, fulvic, micro and macro minerals and amino acids in capsule form. Just 3 capsules in the morning and 3 capsules at bedtime will help you nourish your adrenals and help you feel good again. Learn more about Ancient Earth Minerals and order yours today!
Let's face it, we are all so busy we often don't take time out for ourselves - to rest, relax, breathe or nourish ourselves in the ways we wish we could. Often, it's because we fall into "doing," putting off self-care until "someday when we have the time."
After awhile, our busy lives and diets become habits that feel "too hard" to change. In some ways, breaking this addiction-to-being-busy habit means stepping out of easily and starting anew...and even that takes time we don't think we have.
And yet, in the end, it's energy, vitality and just plain feeling good that we all truly seek. It's the only way we can truly be happy. The vital constitutional energy that is stored in our adrenals is essential to reaching old age looking and feeling like a teenager. Interestingly, just a few changes - maybe just one step in the right direction of healing your adrenals (and don't forget your thyroid) - can be just what you need.
There's nothing that feels better or gives more energy than your health...and isn't that worth the effort? For more on adrenal fatigue, listen to Donna Gates' comprehensive CD on Adrenal Fatigue and start building your energy and vitality today!

Next game the 'biggest'Published 9:03am Wednesday, November 24, 2010
Bob Godsey didn't waste much time deciding where the Tigers' 24-14 victory over Russellville Friday in the Class 5A football quarterfinals ranked among his wins at the school.
This one – the Tigers' first win in the quarterfinals during Godsey's tenure at the school – was pretty special for all the players and coaches.
In four previous trips to the quarterfinals with Godsey at the Tigers' helm, Hartselle had come up short each time.
Add the fact that Hartselle's win came over Russellville and it was easy to rank it among the program's top victories.
"I guess this would be the top one," Godsey said. "This one means we've finally gotten over the hurdle.To finally get to the semifinals, this really squashes those demons."
Hartselle's win puts the Tigers in a rare class in the school's football tradition. Only three other teams in school history have won 12 games.
But none of that really matters to Godsey. His main goal was to see the Tigers put themselves in a position to win a state championship.
Hartselle will host Briarwood Christian at 7 p.m. Friday at J.P. Cain Stadium. The winner will advance to the Class 5A state championship game Dec. 3.
"You know you've accomplished something when you're playing on Thanksgiving weekend," Godsey said.
Two years ago, Hartselle had one of its most talented – and experienced – teams in school history. That team won its first 12 games and climbed to a No. 1 ranking before being unceremoniously bounced from the playoffs in the quarterfinals by Russellville.
As Godsey walked off the field following Friday night's win, he was met by several former players. Godsey says that's just part of the Hartselle football tradition.
"We've had a lot of guys back tonight that have been in the same position," Godsey said. "Those guys that reached the quarterfinals and, for whatever reason, came up a little short of getting to the semifinals, they've got a hand in this year, too."
Godsey knows that the Russellville win Friday was big. He also knows that there are bigger games ahead
"We can't allow it to stop here," Godsey said.

Obama Snubs U.S. Troops, Holds Berlin Rally
In his first major mistake in an otherwise well-orchestrated foreign PR tour, Barack Obama has cancelled a visit to U.S. bases in Germany, including a military hospital, even though he still managed to find the time for his major rally in Berlin in front of cheering Germans.
Via Ed Morrissey, I see that Der Speigel reports:
1:42 p.m.: SPIEGEL ONLINE has learned that Obama has cancelled a planned short visit to the Rammstein and Landstuhl US military bases in the southwest German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The visits were planned for Friday. "Barack Obama will not be coming to us," a spokesperson for the US military hospital in Landstuhl announced. "I don't know why." Shortly before the same spokeswoman had announced a planned visit by Obama.In May, Obama had the audacity to question John McCain's commitment to veterans because of his opposition to the G.I. Bill. Yet now, on a trip to Germany, he's more concerned with playing rock star for German citizens than he is with visiting our troops. It's the type of thing that just makes your blood boil.

OSU wheelchair basketball fundraiser is worth more than the cost of admission
The annual fundraising game that the OSU wheelchair basketball team plays against the men's and women's teams isn't very well advertised or well promoted. It is, however, well worth more than the $5 admission.
I've been living in Stillwater and covering OSU basketball for almost three years, and I attended the event for the first time this year. I may have been out of town or something in the past, but honestly I just don't remember hearing much about it. And I'm not alone — attendance at this year's even couldn't have been more than a couple hundred people. Which is an absolute shame, because it's far and away one of the coolest events I've been to inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The Spokes are incredibly impressive — I was particularly blown away by Millwood High graduate Jason Walley, who I wrote a story about after the event. These guys fly, and it's only more impressive when you see how much star athletes like James Anderson and Andrea Riley struggle to even move their chairs.
For OSU fans this is not only an opportunity to support the Spokes, but also to see the Cowboys and Cowgirls up close and personal. You can sit in the lower bowl for $5 –which is what, only about a thousand percent less than what you pay for regular games?
And during the season, you just see players with their game faces on. At this event you get a candid look at who these guys and girls really are — teasing each other for shooting airballs, admiring the Spokes for how good they are, sticking around to sign autographs afterward. Heck, you could have even stopped by and said hello to Travis Ford, who watched with his youngest son.
I'm not generally in the business of telling people what to do, but this is a great event. Next year we'll try to promote it more in the paper, and OSU fans should get themselves there.

Dave Attell
Dave Attell is back on the road and loving it. His Showtime series, Dave's Old Porn, was not renewed for a third season, but he looks upon that decision as a blessing as it allows him to get back to working on his standup. "I'm trying to take seasons one and two and put them on DVD for people who don't have cable and didn't get a chance to see the show," he says. The program had a pretty loyal following. "It was retro porn from the '70s and '80s, and the iconic stars who made it, and we'd do Mystery Science-like riffs. We'd do a tribute [to the porn stars]." Of course, he enjoyed researching each episode. "That was easy. That was cake," he says. Minneapolis audiences will get a rare chance to see a full Dave Attell set when he performs at Acme on Friday and Saturday. Lately, he has been part of a theater tour with Artie Lange, Amy Schumer, and Jim Norton called the Anti Social Comedy Tour. "It's a great way to do theater shows, which we do for 20 to 30 minutes. It's like this last hurrah of blue comedy," he says. This club date, though, is uniquely appealing to him. "The crowds in Minneapolis are cool. They're into comedy, and they come out and see it, and that's difficult. There's a lot of comedy content out there and very little audience." Audiences respond to Attell, who is often regarded as a comedian's comedian. He tries to deny it, but he is looked up to by comics old and young. Perhaps it's because his work ethic is so straightforward. "I do some topical stuff, but the topics lately have been sad. I look for good jokes about the economy and the weather and growing-old stuff, like my prostate. That's always good," he says. 18+.

Fund for European aid to the most deprived: - extracts from the debate on the report by Emer COSTELLO (S&D, EI)
Première transmission:
Strasbourg, France - European Parliament
Fin de production:
MEPs debated on the budget and participation rules for the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived. MEPs on the social affairs, budget and agriculture committees all voted to keep the fund at its current level €3.5 billion, to pay for food and clothes to meet the basic needs of Europe's poorest citizens in 2014-2020. The Social Affairs Committee failed by two votes to approve a mandate for negotiations with the Council due to dissent over rules for participation by member states. Most of its members wanted the money to remain available for Europe's neediest even if some member states decided not to use their share. The final size of the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived for 2014-2020 will be determined by the outcome of negotiations under way between Parliament and the Council on the EU's long-run budget.
Only the original language version is authentic and it prevails in the event of its differing from the translated versions.
PDF version
Exterior shot of the EP, Strasbourg.
SOUNDBITE (English) Emer COSTELLO (S&D, EI), Rapporteur: "Ending the food distribution programme next December without a replacement European programme would cause a direct threat to food aid programmes in many member states. The proposal that we are considering here today envisages European support for national schemes that address poverty which exists in all member states. But it would go beyond the food distribution programme by introducing the possibility for the distribution of basic material assistance. This could include for instance 'starter packs' for homeless people moving into a new home or clothing for children. Also it would introduce support for accompanying measures aimed at the social reintegration of end recipients that many of the organisations involved in food aid programmes already provide".
SOUNDBITE (English) Emer COSTELLO (S&D, EI), Rapporteur: "This will be only EU instrument that specifically targets people who are at the margins of society, including people who are often well beyond the reach of ESF (European Social Fund). In short, the fund for 'European aid to the most deprived' is a sign of European solidarity with those hardest hit by the crisis. I urge members to endorse the report so that we will have a strong mandate to negotiate with Council and Commission and see the programme commence operations as planned from early next year".
SOUNDBITE (English) László ANDOR, Commissioner: "A group of member states continues to oppose this fund and in particular the fact that it would cover the whole EU. Some argue that the use of the fund should be made voluntary. No country however wants to give up its share if the envelope. Clearly such voluntary use would almost certainly make it impossible for the fund to reach the budget eventually allocated to it. This would be a step back on the EU solidarity, very difficult to communicate to our citizens".
SOUNDBITE (English) Derek VAUGHAN (ALDE, UK): "The Budget Committee fully supports the creation of this fund, indeed we believe that 'food banks' are one of the few growth industries in many parts of Europe currently. We believe this fund should be 3.5 billion and not 2.5 billion if it's to have a big impact".
SOUNDBITE (French) Elisabeth MORIN-CHARTIER (EPP, FR): "All of Europe has its eyes on us, citizens are looking to the EP, to our political views, and the values that we share include social solidarity. We fought for financial solidarity, we fought for banking solidarity, we voted along those lines, we voted on economic solidarity. Would we refuse social solidarity for our citizens now? No. That is unacceptable. I would call on my political group to vote in such a way that this fund would work as all other funds work, and not to take into account the 'blocking minority'. What the people behind the blocking minority wish to achieve is to put an end to the fund, to say 'every country deals with their own poor people', and that's not what we want, we want a Europe of solidarity for all".
SOUNDBITE (French) Pervenche BERÈS (S&D, FR): "The European Council, day after day, is discovering that solidarity and the issue of the most deprived is becoming a political priority and it's not least because of the signal we send out in our vote on Ms Costello's report that we can sure up the importance of this message and the seriousness of the crisis for us".
SOUNDBITE (English) Marian HARKIN (ALDE, IE): "My group ALDE is fully in support of this fund. However there's a debate on whether it should be mandatory or voluntary. My group is supporting a voluntary option, so member states can access this fund, but crucially asking that this fund would be reinforced. This would mean that those member states who want to use their own system and not the EU programme can continue to do so, while other member states who want to use this fund can use their own allocation and will have the legal base to use some of their cohesion funding for this hugely important fund".
SOUNDBITE (French) Karima DELLI (Greens-EFA, FR): "If we want to end up with hunger problems in Europe we need social protection networks to fight poverty in the EU. Let me put a question to you Mr Commissioner, when will you come up with a proposal for a directive on minimum income wage for all? The crisis shows us that we urgently need such legislation, it would be a true European symbol we have been waiting for, for years".

Slavko loves sushi.
Sushi smorgasbord at Maneki.
"I can eat an entire Costco sushi party platter by myself," he said. Seeing that I was unimpressed, he emphasized, "In one sitting."
I sighed. His ability to pack away huge quantities of food no longer fazed me. But the fact that he followed up his declaration of love for sushi with an example as shitty as Costco certainly did.
"I've had it at teriyaki places, too," he said defensively.
It was time to take Slavko to Maneki.
Maneki (304 6th Avenue South) is a traditional Japanese restaurant in the International District that was established back in 1904. It boasts a rich history, diehard fans, and a reputation other restaurants would kill for. Admittedly, it's better known for dishes like miso marinated cod and broiled oysters than it is sushi. But I like their sushi, too. The chefs season the rice with more vinegar than most Western-friendly places, plus they're generous with the fish.
"Don't worry, he can eat the Costco sushi party platter," I responded dryly.
For good measure, we also ordered my favorite Japanese dish, takoyaki, dumplings filled with diced baby octopus and topped with fish shavings and mayonnaise.
For the first time since we began our Asian culinary adventures, Slavko asked no questions and dived in as soon as the food arrived. Apparently, Costco had led him to fancy himself quite the sushi connoisseur.
He raved about the presentation, the freshness of the ingredients. He liked the spider rolls, softshell crab deep fried in a tempura batter. He didn't like the salmon skin rolls, made with heated salmon skin, cucumber, and radish sprouts. The snap of the skin when he bit into the roll, its crunchy texture, it was too unfamiliar to him.
Slavko soon found his favorite though: The JoJo Roll, rice with fresh water eel and cucumber, drizzled with a sauce so sweet it reminded me of candy. "Amazing," he said with his mouth full of eel. Then he ordered an additional roll of the same.
He tried the takoyaki, but wasn't as enamored by it as I was. "It's definitely good, but I don't want to waste space in my stomach," he said. "I want to fill up entirely on sushi."
At the end of dinner, our server returned to our table with the bill and observed the only telltale remarks of our gluttony was a small pool of soy sauce and a mound of ginger. She was so impressed she congratulated Slavko.
"Actually, I'd like to order something else," he said.
The smile disappeared off her face. She looked shocked and dare I say, a little disgusted.
"I'm just joking," he said quickly.
She let out a sigh of relief. "You shocked me!" she said, laughing.
As she walked away, I asked Slavko if he really was joking.
He grinned and answered that he was.
I'm still not sure.

What to post ...what to post So...since everyone really seemed to get a kick out of my children's book style I thought I would post another one of those for you all This one is most definitely in the same family as my "hidden treasure" image, falling under the "Secret Places" brand and was developed for a children's puzzle.

In Response To Walkman
This review is from: Samsung 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) 1080p 240Hz LED-LCD HDTV UN65D8000
Pros: Ultra thin and attractive from any angle. Good contrast ratio for an LED and above average viewing angle (not as good as Panasonic's IPS panels but sufficient for average seating placement). Decent input lag specs for gaming.
Cons: App set is cumbersome and lacks todays compliment of applications.
Other Thoughts: In response for Walkman, your review was what inspired me to write my own. If you want features from a 2012 TV do not buy a 2011 set then dump on the TV because you made a poor decision. This TV was a premium set for 2011 and in it's day was the best LED on the market. Your viewing distance and source was most likely to blame for your picture quality concerns. As for price, all things big and new will come down in price eventually and saying that you could buy three TV's with better features for the same price is irrelevant if you want a 65" LED because you most certainly could not. I am writing this review in 2013 and this TV still stacks up well against 2013 Samsung sets for picture quality and features that are essential or valuable.

Wow- but not really!
This review is from: Samsung 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) 1080p 240Hz LED-LCD HDTV UN65D8000
Pros: Big screen
Cons: Video very choppy, not smooth at all- doesn't seem like 240Hz at all! Bezel not thin, even though this is a new model. Does not have any of the smart movement features like in the Samsung TV commercials.
Other Thoughts: Waaaay too much money for this TV, I could have bought 3 TV's for this price with better features!

Kass: RIP, Dan 'The Man' Dorfman
TheStreet) -- On Saturday I got the bad news that my old pal Dan Dorfman had passed away. There are two journalists who helped my career when I was a lot younger and "wet behind the ears": Barron's Alan Abelson and Dan Dorfman. I owe both of them quite a lot for the platforms they gave me in the media over the years, and for their friendship.Today's business commentators -- and an entire network, CNBC -- owe Dan a lot, too. He paved their way and provided a template, in the early days, of "hard-hitting" and "market-moving" journalism. Just ask commentators such as Ron Insana, Dennis Gartman, Herb Greenberg, Bill Griffith, Dan Kadlec as to the importance of his influence on their craft. His pedigree wasn't fancy. He grew up in an orphanage. His early years were spent in West Hempstead, N.Y., the Long Island town next to Rockville Centre, where I grew up. He graduated from the New York School of Print the year that I was born, 1949. > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll In the 1980s he was a featured commentator on CNN (often appearing with Myron Kandell) and eventually went to CNBC in the 1990s. Dan was also the influential author of The Wall Street Journal's "Heard on The Street Column" in the 1980s. During his career he wrote for New York Magazine, Money, USA Today and The New York Sun, and his columns were syndicated around the world. In my view Dan was one of the most important contributors -- arguably the most important and influential contributor -- to the great success that CNBC holds today. Who can forget the unparalleled influence he had on stocks during a period when there was no Internet, and when the delivery of timely market/company news was not as broad as it is today? Several times a week, at 12:30 p.m. sharp, Dan would appear on CNBC with breaking news on a company, a potential takeover, a 13D filing or a significant analyst opinion change. Individual stocks moved so sharply when Dan mentioned them that the Chicago Board of Options instituted "The Dorfman Rule," which would compel exchange authorities to halt trading in a stock to which Dan referred on television. The Nasdaq instituted "The Dorfman Rule" as well.NEW YORK (

SCRIABIN, A.: Piano Music (Complete) (Lettberg)
SCRIABIN, A.: Piano Music (Complete) (Lettberg)C49586
Published Review (By Blair Sanderson, Allmusic.com):For many years, listeners who wished to own the complete piano works of Alexander Scriabin had little other recourse… Fortunately, Swedish virtuoso Maria Lettberg has recorded all of the published solo piano music for Capriccio, and it is an exceptional offering that fills collectors' needs admirably. Lettberg has made Scriabin's music a specialty within her large and varied repertoire, and her performances are consistently insightful, polished, and electric, which places her set among the finest recordings available. Presented on eight CDs with a bonus DVD…and an interview with Lettberg, this trimline box may not look like a deluxe package, but the extraordinary music it contains is priceless.

Holding him or when he is asleep on my chest/tummy. He wakes up easily if I try to put him in his crib or he will sleep in his crib for a few minutes & then wake up crying. As soon as I pick him up & put him on my chest or hold him in my arms he falls asleep. Any advice re how I can get him to sleep I. His crib & not use me as his favorite bed?
Only sleeps when I'm holding him - cries after a few minutes in crib - advice??

Do you have a Rock & Play? Thats where our LO sleeps at night and it's GREAT. It's sort of concave, so I think it helps mimic being held. Anything thats like a concave seat - even the carseat- is helpful.
Don't panic. Our LO won't sleep in his crib now either, but I'm not stressed; there is plenty of time for that. We keep practicing, but he'll eventually grow into it. For now, you just need somewhere LO can sleep apart from you to give you a break :)
How old is your LO? I heard that between 4-8 Weeks babies are more needy for the contact and the scent and sounds and heartbeats feeling when they sleep. My little guy was sleeping great in his P&P in my room before but lately he is the same way. We have found if we want him to sleep (at least for a little while) in a specific spot we will lay him down and feed him in that spot till he gets milkdrunk and passes out lol
Give it time

Proud Mommy to Conner Jaxon 08.25.12
I had this problem until I started putting my LO in the boppy to sleep. It helps with the "snuggle" feeling. Also, she was either getting hot or cold so we had to adjust the temp every night for 2 weeks until we finally found the perfect combo of pj's, blankets and temp. (FYI, for us it's 70 degrees).
Good luck!

So try Avery smooth/ slow transition and see if that works for you?
Our LO was swaddle-able for all of three days after birth. After that she wouldkick furiouslyand refuse any swaddle attempts. She hates being constrained. So we gave up on that long ago.
So... Whatever works for you?
My DD was having problems the other night. I bfed her (in a swaddler) until she was drowsy, moved her 2 feet over into the co-sleeper, and she woke up. This happened several times. I thought it was my bed she was attached to, but she cried when I went to the bathroom, so it was me. I've been using a pacifier at night since she just wants to suck sometimes, but I had been giving it only in the co-sleeper. So in desparation, I tried giving her the pacifer then laying with her up next to me like we were bfing laying down. She fell asleep, and I moved her, and this time it worked! I used the same technique last night.
We were having the only chest sleeping problem like you a week or two ago and decided it was acid reflux. Better burping helped.

My LO Is the same...she is 3 weeks 4 days... always wants to be held or beside mommy- I struggle because part of me knows she wont be little for long so I want to take advantage even though I know its probably best for her to sleep elsewhere!
Wife to Nick. Mom to Will. So in love with both of them!!!
Swaddling is KEY! I live and die by it! My son wouldnt stay asleep without it.. I know that because the theory was tested 2 nights ago. He usually sleeps 8:30 to around 4.. so when he woke up at 2 I was confused. I went in and he had unswaddled himself. Since he usually sleeps longer I took a chance and reswaddled him, gave him his pacifier and he went RIGHT back to sleep. So obviously swaddling was what he wanted.

Balancing Act
I have to look at my life as a balancing act. Maybe this comes with age, I'm not sure? I just know that when I wake up in the morning and as long as I'm feeling up to par I just can't wait to embrace the day full steam ahead! As I said though, I think that it's important to keep everything in balance. Not to let it overwhelm...just to work at my pace and do my best each and every day.
My website at Shabbyfufu can be all consuming when it's as busy as it has been lately, but I know better than to let it eat me up. Most days I de~stress with a workout. I try to eat right, socialize and get a good night's sleep. Of course I COULD get more done if I was constantly on the computer or in the studio, but having a life outside of working.....there is something to be said for that:-).
I did just finish up this custom tea cup chandelier for a sweet customer, and today am working on some more for the website......
Working on my romantic dress forms, orders and for the website as well.....
I have been traveling and shopping like mad at the marchés aux puces, but just haven't found the time to list yet. Coming soon are lots of new (old) pieces, things that you just won't find elsewhere in a mix of very romantic and French style....
So that's it for now, I bid you adieu and get back to the balancing act of daily life around here!

Janet I totally understand about the balancing act. I work full time and sometimes I am so tired I don't feel like playing! Playing is such a necessary part of life!! I take off days just to do nothing but shop or play on my sewing machine. I do that when I start feeling overwhelmed.ReplyDelete
Janet- I hear you...it is easy to have your time get "eaten up" by one thing or another. I am trying to find a good balance too. Love your New/Old finds! Hugs-DianaReplyDelete
Hi Janet, I totally hear you! Success comes from hard work and hard work comes from success. I'm constantly trying to keep a balance like you. Thanks for making time for me in your busy schedule! XO ChristieReplyDelete
I totally no where your coming from, but in saying that, its so great that your business is just booming and keeping you busy. I work from home to but for another company, it would be nice to work for me 100% of the time an doing something you love.ReplyDelete
I find 5 minutes out in the garden with a cuppa gives me the lift i need to keep going.
Enjoy your week
Tina xxx
Keep up the good work, Janet. It sounds like you have your head on straight when it comes to work and play. Everything get's done in good time. And I am looking forward to seeing your new finds!ReplyDelete
Hi Janet, I too am excited to see your new finds... I also did a recent post about finding that "happy medium" in life... sounds like you have found yours... love your new profile pic too!... xoxo Julie MarieReplyDelete
I agree life is a balancing act...and it requires work to ensure we don't get overwhelmed by any one priority in our lives...this is a daily challenge for me. Just wanted to tell you that I love your teacup chandelier! Beautiful.ReplyDelete
Janet, Balance! I agree! I am really working on this myself. That is so funnny ...because today I was thinking that I need to set aside time I work on my blog and blogtalk radio show. I do NOT have balance. Great post! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Have a pretty day!
Oh, you've got it right, dear friend. Life is a balancing act and it's good to listen to one's spirit and take good care too.ReplyDelete
Of course, I can't wait to see all the goodies. Going to turn off my computer in a moment and "just be".
Wow you have really been busy but what a Blessing that your business is doing so well.I am new to your blog and really like reading your posts.ReplyDelete

You will recall that we have consistently talked about having four main objectives for the firm. One to increase our market share of the global pool of advisory fees; Two, to consistently achieve the highest profit margin among our closest peers; Three, to maintain the strong dividend policy; and Four, to maintain a flat or even declining share count. I will focus on the first of these and then turn it back Richard for the others.In terms of increasing our market share, we are pleased with our growth in advisory revenue, both in absolute and relative terms as well as the increasing diversity of our sources of revenue. Our 20% growth for the year came despite quite a challenging M&A environment which worsened materially starting in August. That strong growth also came in spite of some very important announced transactions we were involved in that failed to get to the finish line.

Sunday, 10 August 2014 | MYT 1:05 AM
by michelle nichols
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council is negotiating a draft resolution to tackle Islamic State militants by financially weakening the jihadi Islamist group, stopping a flow of foreign fighters, and threatening sanctions on those who recruit and help the group.
Islamic State militants control a third of Syria's territory and have captured wide swathes of northern Iraq since June, declaring a caliphate.
The group has executed non-Sunni Muslim captives, displacing tens of thousands of people and drawing the first U.S. airstrikes in the region since Washington withdrew troops in 2011. In a boost to funding their operations they have seized hundreds of millions of dollars from banks and captured five oil fields.
The British-drafted Security Council resolution, obtained by Reuters, would condemn direct or indirect trade with Islamic State and al Qaeda's Syrian wing Nusra Front and warns sanctions could be imposed on those who do, urging states to submit names of individuals and entities believed to support the groups.
The initial draft text, which the 15 council members first discussed on Friday, names Islamic State leaders to be sanctioned with an international asset freeze and travel ban.
The resolution could be voted on later this week, said Britain's U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant. Britain initially aimed to adopt the resolution by the end of the month, but accelerated its plan after Islamic State fighters surged towards the capital of the Kurdish region in Iraq.
U.N. diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the council appeared unified in the face of the biggest threat to Iraq, a major oil exporter, since Saddam Hussein was toppled by a U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
The Islamic State group, previously known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), has long been blacklisted by the U.N. Security Council - subjecting it to an asset freeze and arms embargo - while Nusra Front was added this year.
The draft resolution "calls upon all Member States to take national measures to suppress the flow of foreign terrorist fighters to ISIL, ANF (Nusra Front) and all other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with al Qaeda."
The council resolution would ask U.N. experts - charged with monitoring violations of the council's al Qaeda sanctions regime - to report "within 90 days on the threat posed by ISIL, its sources of arms and funding, and recommendations for additional action to address the threat."
The draft resolution is under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which gives the council authority to enforce decisions with economic sanctions or military force. However it does not mandate the use of military force to tackle the militants.

GBP/JPY Retracement Pattern
- 4H: The GBP/JPY pair has been slowly climbing the last 2 weeks. The Friday Asian-European session however started to retracement this rally from 138.30 to 143.60.
- The retracement actually started with the 2-bar reversal at the 143.60 top on the Feb. 17th session.
- Now a second leg of the retracement is underway and is projected to the 140.00 area 61.8% retracement. The stochastic is is reflective of a full retracement as well, the type of typical wave II.
- Daily: The opposite scenario is a break below, and a continuing decline, which would confirm a breakout in the daily time-frame.
- Looking at the daily, we see that the recent 2 weeks of rally brought the pair to the 38.2% retracement before the full retracementin the short-term occurred.
- Note the 143.60 powerline that held as well as stochastic crossing back down. These are very bearish signals, and since the overall market has been bearish, this is a more likely case.
- A good way to confirm is to wait for the market to decline further into the near term fibonacci retracement levels, such as 78.6% at 139.40.
- Weekly: If the price action continues to be strong, and breaks below retracement zones, wait for a pullback to give one last confirmation, then the outlook can be bearish in the intermediate term.
- Some projections can be seen in the weekly. Swing projections to 130.00 area is coincident with the retracement zone between 61.8% and 78.6%.
