On the way down, we stopped to get out and walk around. There was still some snow at this elevation, so we had our picture taken in it. This makes 3 times our adventures were shortened this trip because of snow and here it is the middle of May. We forget how much the height of the mountains plays in the temperature! ...

What a lovely life. Playing in the station, the copse and by the river at Double Bridges. We lived in Alexandra Terrace and the first house opposite the Inn was run by Mrs Wicigrin (spelling?). We used to play in the field down the lane and wave at the trains, getting excited at the sight of diesels. How I ...Read full memory
I was a 10 year old lad living at the Alexandra Inn now known as the Hungry Fox pub. Being a keen rail fan then and as now, wandering around the station and the platforms watching trains was a regular past time. Of course I used it when we went to Exeter or on one of my many trips back to London. Sad it is all gone.

Down at the Word Shop
Words don't just appear out of thin air, you know.
There's a little basement office just off Berwick Street in Moose Jaw, where lexi-birthers put in over seventy hours a week developing and honing the English language. It's been a well-kept secret for a long time, but old Josh the Janitor spoiled it a few weeks ago when he put out the new adjective collection instead of the garbage.
I found it, and don't work for the grengacious Sanitation Department anymore. (That was one of the new adjectives they were working on, by the way. It takes about five point six years for the words to catch on.)
Now I'm in on the word work, and want to share it with you on my blog here.
Just keep it between us, though, OK?
They still let old Grimsby run the D and R meetings, even though he keeps forgetting to close his mouth when he's finished speaking. I guess he's still living off the fame of coining the great word PIZZAZZ about seventy years ago. I've used it myself.
Anyway, there was a lot of debate today about the ongoing project to change the word PALINDROME. That young Snipford has spent four years on his campaign to make the word read the same forwards and backwards. His suggestion to replace it with PALENELAP got six votes today, so he's getting closer.
Miss Szcal wore a flurny sweater today, (that's another one of the adjectives old Josh tossed out for me to find), so she got a lot of attention for her presentation about needing to create a word for that little recess in the spine just above a person's backside. I suggested we should have a look at hers, but nobody laughed. These people are all business. Anyway, they sent her idea down to the gang at Coinage, and she looked really happy.
It was another one of those long meetings, and only one new word came out of it.
You'll be hearing it in about five point six years. It's a description of the sort of faint impression that's left in an upholstered chair a bit after you've been sitting in it. I can't remember the exact spelling, but it was something like ASHWRINT.

Speaking Of Giving... (See Jane Suggest)
How impossible is it to shop for men? Personally, I think it's quite tough. Clothing always comes to mind (for me at least) as it's such an interest of mine, but it can be tedious to pick it out for them.
As you may know, I work for Trunk Club in Chicago. My life currently revolves around men's clothing; I'm constantly packing up trunks to be shipped to men and styling my clients that are in Chicago. If you're looking to give the gift of style to a man in your life (husband/boyfriend/dad/cousin/co-worker), please email me or sign up and use my name as a reference! I'd love for him to excitedly open up a trunk, receive a gift certificate from us or work with me in Chicago*.
*disclaimer: US residents only...for now. We're still a start-up but plan to expand internationally; currently, we only serve the lower 48 states.

I'm participating in American Living's 12 Days of Giving program. I'll be giving a gift to a loved one and documenting the process along the way. Personally, I'm a big fan of giving gifts; nothing's better than finding the perfect present and watching your loved one unwrap it with a look of total surprise and joy. In the meantime, check out this fun video below:

Pumpkin Pie (See Jane Bake)
It's hard to beat a classic on Thanksgiving. In my humble opinion, no dessert tastes better than a pumpkin pie. Last week, I did a little holiday guest post on Forever21's blog; click over there to see the recipe. I must say, I'm not much of a baker, but I tweaked a classic recipe and it turned out pretty good; maybe I do having the baking gene, afterall...

Another year has come and gone. I turn 27 today and honestly, I can't believe how time flies. I won't wax on about how old I feel because I actually feel the same as when I was a mere 18 years old (except hangovers are way worse now). 26 was a crazy and wonderful year; I got married, changed jobs and traveled halfway around the world. I can only hope and pray that 27 treats me just as kind.

Starlight Foundation + Forever21 (See Jane Promote)
I'm teaming up with Forever21 and the Starlight Foundation for the holidays. Last year around this time, Forever21 supported the Starlight Foundation by selling bracelets and donating over $44,000 of the proceeds to the charity.
The holiday season is a great time to reflect, give thanks and especially to reach out to those struggling and in need. The Starlight Children's Foundation focuses on supporting the families of children with illnesses; because the holidays can be stressful for anyone, imagine how especially difficult it can be for the families and support systems of these children. Please consider supporting this important cause and be thankful for the healthy loved ones in your life.
I'm acting as am ambassador on behalf of this charity for Forever21. To show your support, please vote for the charity here. The charity with the most votes will collaborate with Forever21 and hopefully even more money will be raised for a great cause.

Jan is my co-worker who I think has great style. Tailored with an edge is how I like to describe it. Every once in awhile I like to feature other people (..if they're eager/willing, of course) and this time, it's my Trunk Club desk-mate. Therefore, not only do you readers get to see someone else (who I think has style), but I also get to hone in on my amateur photography skills.
A little more about Jan: she went to school on the East Coast, hates cheese (lunch is hard for us as I am a lover of cheese), and most recently worked at Gap headquarters in San Francisco before moving here to Chicago.

Next time, I plan on wearing it with glittery pumps (already own some from many years back) and my hair up.

Just because Halloween is over doesn't mean that orange, yellows and other rich harvest colors are to be tossed out the window. I believe that colors reminiscent of sqashes, gourds and pumpkins should be embraced until Thanksgiving. I love seeing my little gourds displayed on my coffee table and still can't resist a bright orange tulip to go alongside them.

Shepherd's Pie (See Jane Cook)
I really like to cook. I'm okay at best, but it's something I genuinely enjoy doing. I like having the freedom of adding spices and ingredients as I please (I don't follow directions that well so baking doesn't always turn out so well for me). When I go grocery shopping with Eric, I always ask him think of something new he wants to eat and recently he requested mashed potatoes. I decided to turn it in to a complete dinner by making a variation of Shepherd's Pie (used this recipe but changed a few things--no parsnips for one). I used ground beef instead of the traditional lamb and added lots of veggies like zucchini, mushrooms and red peppers.

Nothing's been tempting me more this season than brightly colored pumps. They have a fun yet sophisticated way about them and can brighten up the darkest of outfits. The best part is that they seem to have longevity as they pops up some form or another every few years. A bright pump may be the perfect remedy to the impending winter blahs as well as a great accompaniment to an old LBD hiding back in your closet. Heck, they might even be able to prevent SAD (which is no joke, I assure you).

Transportation Performance Index
How Well Is Your Business Being Served?
The Transportation Performance Index measures how well our transportation systems—surface, air, and water—are meeting the demands of the nation and quantifies the impact on the economy.
Visit "TPI Central" to review the report, and the Chamber's recommendations to improve supply, quality of service, and capacity to handle future growth. The next release of the report is scheduled for September 2013.
The What's the Latest?
For breaking blog posts on current events, please visit www.freeenterprise.com/infrastructure. You'll read the latest Chamber commentary on everything that floats, flies and rolls.
What is Let's Rebuild America?
Launched in 2007, the U.S. Chamber-led Let's Rebuild America (LRA) initiative is the Chamber's response to America's infrastructure challenge—keep up with what the business community demands or U.S. economic productivity and global competitiveness will suffer. Chaired by Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue, LRA advocates for the need to maintain, modernize, and expand our nation's infrastructure.
How Can the Business Community Step UP?
You can help modernize our infrastructure and grow the economy:
- Paying more in user fees and taxes
- Investing up to $250 billion in public-private partnership capital
- Bring together the latest technology and management practices
- Build support for smart investment
Investing in the future of America – How P3s can rebuild America's infrastructure and be a centrepiece of economic growth.
Right now the Chamber has undertaken three major projects to help the business community recognize and articulate the need for greater investment in our nation's transportation infrastructure. Check them out below:
Blueprint for Investing in America's Infrastructure
The Blueprint for Investing in America's Infrastructure is designed to promote the voice of American businesses and effectively communicate how a national infrastructure business strategy will lower operating costs, increase profitability, mitigate logistical challenges, and provide a catalyst for investment. We will make the "business case" for a forward-looking, funded federal approach to a critical piece of America's broader strategy for economic growth—infrastructure.

Waterways Work for America: 50 State Fact Sheets
America's marine transportation system transports hundreds of commodities across the United States and to deep water ports for exports, supporting 10 million jobs. However, it is hampered with delays caused by a lack of federal funding, threatening U.S. competitiveness and job creation. Waterways Work for America presents 50 state fact sheets highlighting the importance and contributions of the system to American supply-chains and the economic vitality of the United States. Find out what waterways contribute to your state.
If you are interested in sharing your story and helping us build the business case, please contact Christina Atchley at email@example.com or 202-463-5358.
Water Is Your Business
Water is Your Business Campaign
Population growth is straining the U.S. water infrastructure. In California, for example, a water delivery system designed to supply 18 million people now struggles to serve 38 million, with an additional 12 million anticipated by 2040. The Water is Your Business Campaign is a Chamber effort in conjunction with the National Association of Water Companies. The Campaign focuses on a single goal: the recruitment and engagement of local business and community leaders on the importance of water infrastructure investment.

Dr Panda Scientific Research on the Right Time of Day to Eat: A 12-Hour Window for a Healthy Weight
Janill Gilbert stashed this in Food
Scientists, like mothers, have long suspected that midnight snacking is inadvisable. But until a few years ago, there was little in the way of science behind those suspicions. Now, a new study shows that mice prevented from eating at all hours avoided obesity and metabolic problems — even if their diet was sometimes unhealthful.
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego and elsewhere began experimenting with the eating patterns of laboratory mice in a previous study. On that occasion, some mice consumed high-fat food whenever they wanted; others had the same diet but could eat only during an eight-hour window. None exercised. The mice that ate at all hours soon grew chubby and unwell, with symptoms of diabetes. But the mice on the eight-hour schedule gained little weight and developed no metabolic problems. Those results were published in 2012.
For the new study, which appeared in the journal Cell Metabolism in December, Salk scientists fed groups of adult males one of four diets: high-fat, high-fructose, high-fat and high-sucrose, and regular mouse kibble. Some of the mice in each dietary group were allowed to eat whenever they wanted throughout their waking hours; others were restricted to feeding periods of nine, 12 or 15 hours. The caloric intake for all the mice was the same.
Over the course of the 38-week experiment, some of the mice in the time-restricted groups were allowed to cheat on weekends and eat whenever they chose. A few of the eat-anytime mice were shifted to the restricted windows midway through the study.
By the end, the mice eating at all hours were generally obese and metabolically ill, reproducing the results of the earlier study. But those mice that ate within a nine- or 12-hour window remained sleek and healthy, even if they cheated occasionally on weekends. What's more, mice that were switched out of an eat-anytime schedule lost some of the weight they had gained.
"Time-restricted eating didn't just prevent but also reversed obesity," says Satchidananda Panda, an associate professor at the Salk Institute who oversaw the studies. "That was exciting to see." Mice that consumed regular kibble in fixed time periods also had less body fat than those that ate the same food whenever they chose.
Precisely how a time-based eating pattern staved off weight gain and illness is not fully understood, but Dr. Panda and his colleagues believe that the time at which food is eaten influences a body's internal clock. "Meal times have more effect on circadian rhythm than dark and light cycles," Dr. Panda says. And circadian rhythm in turn affects the function of many genes in the body that are known to involve metabolism.
To date, Dr. Panda's studies have been conducted with only mice, but he says the results seem likely to apply to humans. The upshot: Contain your eating to 12 hours a day or less.

Probably within reason. If we ate normal healthy choices and amounts during a 9-12 hour window we should be lean and healthy. This cuts out one of my bad eating habits, snacking in the evening. I try not to eat after dinner; which I try to have before 8pm. Works for me ;)
"Time-restricted eating didn't just prevent but also reversed obesity."
Good luck Janill that's a hard habit to break!
Sleeping right after eating is probably not good for digestion but it *would* help with overcoming those cravings.
I wonder why the body craves food at night when it should be fasting.
Oh right, because we crave them independent of hunger or eating cycles. Darn it.
Eating food earlier in the day is better:
I like that the next section of this page begins with "Geege is right..."
Geege is right. This is simply a poorly worded study about fasting: "Fast for 12 to 15 hours a day and you'll be fine." is a much simpler way to report the findings.
Geege also points out another good reason to get plenty of sleep – it sure is easier to fast by sleeping for 12 hours a day. And that's what I do on longer fasts (like 10 to 30 days).
But everyone can do just as well by waking and not eating until lunch... or just by being a geezer and only allowing the latest eating you get to do is at the 4:30 to 6:00 pm dinner specials... just make sure to wear your blue-blocker sun glasses and talk about your ungrateful children and fabulous grandchildren.
The fat building (or inability to lose weight reality no matter what you eat) happens because our bodies need time for insulin decrease in our blood and for glucagon levels to increase (prompting ketosis), which then triggers the body to metabolize fat (adipose tissue) for energy. And then you lose fat and weight. The more you fast in frequency and duration, the easier it is for your body to function efficiently and the quicker and less painfully (i.e. no hunger cravings, stomach gurgling and headaches) for you as your metabolism drops into ketosis daily.
Eating, or every time you ingest anything (even if it was dirt, pebbles and cardboard or modern fast food totally devoid of nutrition), stimulates nerve receptors in the small intestine that then trigger the pancreas to dump insulin into the blood, which prevents the body from metabolizing fat. In addition to frequency, the volume of food ingested also correlates to insulin spikes, or peak dosing, in the blood with longer half-life rates of insulin presence. I can't remember exactly but the pancreas requires either a two or four-hour refractory period before being able to return insulin production to peak levels, so constant eating produces problems for the pancreas as well cellular insensitivity to insulin throughout the body.
That's one of the reasons calories don't matter and most if not all diets are full of bullshit recommendations –
Any obese or fat person can eat any diet and lose weight, as long as they fast 12 to 15 hours a day.
But people don't buy diet books with just a single sentence in them and the majority rarely act on simple advice alone.
that was great, rob! so is breakfast really NOT the most important meal of the day? i often feel that i do much better if i wait until lunch to break the fast, but then i guess that still makes it breakfast!
Thanks Emily! Yes, breaking a fast correctly is always very, very important... and being fully awake and body active is one such way of being correctly prepared to break a fast (as opposed to half-asleep).
Every fast, at a minimum, should be considered a necessary ritual of routine hygiene for long life.
Unfortunately for all of us here in the west, breakfast has been sold to us as a profit center for Big Ag, and we as consumers are now expected, if not folklore-ically prescribed, to habitually pound the worst possible food for us (industrially processed, denatured grains) down our gullet immediately after we wake in some sort of illusory fantasy that we absolutely need this raw resource as energy for a productive day – and that is total bullshit. Profit seeking misinformation from Big Ag and cereal companies is no surprise, but how it all started is...
These persistent inherent conflicts and outright lies of good health being tied to a hearty breakfast is the legacy of C.W. Post, the cereal magnate who invented Grape Nuts and started our whole breakfast cereal debacle over a century ago:
In 1907 Collier's Weekly published an article questioning the claim made in advertisements for Grape Nuts that it could cure appendicitis. Post responded with advertisements questioning the mental capacity of the article's author, and Collier's Weekly sued for libel. The case was heard in 1910, and Post was fined $50,000.
It gets better...
In early March 1914, Post was believed to be suffering from appendicitis and was rushed via a nonstop train from California to Rochester, Minnesota to be operated on by William and Charles Mayo, regarded as the preeminent surgeons of the day. Upon examination the Mayo brothers deemed Post to be inoperable, however, and the breakfast cereal magnate returned home to Santa Barbara without surgical remedy, still plagued by stomach pain. ... On May 9, 1914, despondent over his ongoing stomach issues, Post took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot.
PS Emily, it makes sense why you might feel good waiting until lunch to eat your first meal: when I was a kid I spent long summers working on my aunt's family farm in southern Ontario, Canada... we'd eat a healthy breakfast off our own farm grown fare and it was delicious. But a hearty breakfast was served well after we'd already been up and working our daily chores, and those usually took a good two to three hours... and I felt great eating at that time!
whoa. the things we believe...
(your farm life sounds heavenly, though!)
grape nuts are so disgusting, they had to make up *something* to sell that crap! ;)
Amen on that! lol What is in Grape Nuts? certainly not grapes nor nuts :(
Post's first breakfast cereal premiered in 1897, and he named the product Grape-Nuts cereal because of the fruity aroma noticed during the manufacturing process and the nutty crunch of the finished product. In 1904, he followed up the Grape Nuts label with a brand of corn flakes, which was first called Elijah's Manna before being renamed Post Toasties in 1908.
Grape-Nuts is a breakfast cereal developed in 1897 by C. W. Post, a former patient and later competitor of the 19th-century breakfast food innovator, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Despite the name, the cereal contains neither grapes nor nuts; it is made with wheat and barley. Post believed that glucose (which he called "grape sugar") formed in the baking process. This, combined with the nutty flavor of the cereal, is said to have inspired its name. Another explanation originates from employees at Post, who claim that the cereal got its name due to a resemblance to grape seeds, or grape "nuts." The cereal originally prepared by C. W. Post when developing the product was a batter that came from the oven as a rigid sheet. He then broke the sheet into pieces and ran them through a coffee grinder to produce the "nut" sized kernels.
Who says being an industrialist isn't an exciting, creative career...kinda like authoring entries for Wikipedia!
Hmmm... I wonder when we're going to reach the event horizon when Wikipedia starts eating it's own tail, such that the sliding social appetite for accepting commentary as fact ends up being the validating reference for future entries... meh, maybe we're already there. At least with Encyclopedia Brittanica it took decades, generations and plate tectonics to change our view of the past... and that's something we could take comfort in along with afternoon tea... anybody who thinks history is set in stone based on immutable facts either is reading history only once, or not at all.


text: HOUSTON, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Far East Energy Corporation (OTCBB: FEEC) announced today that its 2013 Shouyang Block drilling campaign is underway, now that the Chinese National Lunar New Year holiday has ended and as weather conditions improve in Shanxi Province. Two drilling rigs are already operating on location in the Shouyang Block and additional rigs have been mobilized and are expected to begin drilling operations within the next three weeks. The 2013 drilling program is initially targeted at (i) drilling 70 wells in the core 1H Pilot Production Area to accelerate the drive toward rising gas production and sales levels; and, (ii) an additional 25 appraisal wells across the block, in an effort to further identify the most prospective undeveloped sections of the block. CEO Michael R. McElwrath stated "Far East has started 2013 in great shape and now has the funding in place to carry out a comprehensive drilling program on the Shouyang Block. We have rigs already in place and, as weather conditions improve, more rigs will be added; in fact, our contractors are already moving new rigs onto the block." With the Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources (MLR) having certified the Company's coalbed methane (CBM) resources as to its core 99.8 km 2 acreage under the Shouyang PSC (in June 2012); the Company is now in the process of preparing the overall development plan (ODP) application for submission. The ODP application is expected to be submitted early in the second half of 2013. The Company has also released its YE 2012 results, with the filing of its Form 10-K, which reveal an 85% increase in gas sales volumes in 2012 compared to 2011, as more wells were connected to the gas gathering, compression and transmission system. The 2012 total sales volume net to Far East was 260,424 Mcf. The Company receives an average price of $6.43/Mcf of gas sold, including the various government and provincial subsidies. The YE 2012 results also include an updated and revised Reserves report (to SEC standards) prepared by the independent consulting firm, RISC Advisory Consultants. This report stated year-end December 2012 net proved reserves of 51.3 MMscf and net probable reserves at 392.4 MMscf. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for proved oil and gas reserves and the NPV10% valuation for proved reserves is $40.4 million, while the combined 2P (proved and probable) NPV10% valuation for these reserves is $816.1 million. Adding in the NPV10% value of the possible reserves would take the total 3P value to $1.2 billion. Mike McElwrath continued "The Company's fracing operations and tying in wells to the gathering system have yielded a significant increase in gas sales during 2012 compared to 2011, despite only limited well drilling activity due to the funding delay related to our late Chinese Ministry of Commerce approval. I believe that the revised and updated RISC valuation for the Company's interest in the Shouyang Block underlines the value of the Company's Shouyang Block CBM gas resource. We look forward to a strong operating year on the Shouyang Block project." Additional Information Regarding Estimates of Reserves NPV10% and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows do not purport to be, nor should they be interpreted to present, the fair value of the coalbed methane reserves of the Shouyang project. An estimate of fair value would take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, the value of unproved properties, and consideration of expected future economic and operating conditions.

Young alumni a challenge for college fundraisers
Purdue University is wasting no time trying to tap recent graduates as donors, but university leaders acknowledged the task is challenging.
The Journal and Courier reports about 14 percent of those who've graduated in the last 10 years have given gifts to Purdue totaling about $2 million. That's a sliver of the $300 million Purdue receives in gifts system-wide each year.
Purdue director of annual giving Tiffany Storm says younger alumni are harder to reach because they lack landlines. The university is reaching out to them through social media and other means, but Storm acknowledges Purdue is competing with other outlets for a smaller pool of disposable income.
Recent graduate Hillary Walker says she's more inclined to give to other groups because Purdue already has millions of dollars.

I bought these, in navy, for a massage room. They go along one wall (no windows) covering our extra pillows that hang from clips on the wall. I bought them for their color and the grommet top for easy sliding back and forth, not for the blackout aspect, per se. Plus the price was right. Well, the blackout feature has resulted in some much-needed sound-proofing (weight room on other side of curtained wall). Even better, these are beautiful, wrinkle resistant, machine-washable. The material is such that I can tell it'd be resistant to dog hair. Not an issue here at work, but at home that and the other features mentioned would be perfect. So I'm considering buying them for my home for to cover windows for the blackout and insulation features as well. Lastly, they get many compliments from clients. So I give these my highest recommendation. The shipping was super-fast too.


text: My sister has a Kindle Fire, and my nephews can't keep their hands off it. They love it for the games, but the oldest is getting to reading age, which is partially why the promotional video caught my attention. The other reason is because, as a child of the 80s and as someone who was about my nephew's age when Reading Rainbow was first airing on PBS, I'm especially appreciative of the mentioned Reading Rainbow App for the Kindle Fire, not to mention LeVar Burton's appearance in the promo.

Good 3.8 /5 from 91 reviews
Nice place to stay overnight..near tokyo station.
good bargain to stay.
The positives: - Good facilities including a lounge area, sauna and clean spacious communal bathing area. - Excellent range of toiletries available, even by any standard. - Vending machine has better than average selection including food - Generally very clean throughout the hotel I've stayed in a couple of capsule hotels, and I though this was a little below average. the main reasons were: - I like a firm bed, but the bedding was so thin, it was a too firm to sleep on. - Very little English spoken. Reception really need pre-written instructions for us westerners. - As per all capsule hotels, check-out is mandatory even for stay of multiple nights. The problem is that there is a charge to leave bags at the hotels. It's only ¥200, but still annoying. - Location is a real pain to get to the action in Tokyo.
The hotel was simple and cheap. While most of the staff only spoke little English they were very friendly which helped a lot. While everything important were working, sometimes small details were broken or missing. Overall very nice for the price.
Basement sauna was great. Second floor relaxation room also nice. Capsules are small but if you know that going in then it is nothing to worry about. Enjoy the experience. Good value for money.

Method for Trumpet - Bk. 2 (Fingering Exercises and Etudes-Pt. 1)
By Anthony Plog
Fingering Exercises and Etudes-Pt. 1. Composed by Anthony Plog. With Standard notation. Published by Balquhidder Music (CF.BQ81).
Item Number: CF.BQ81
The second book of Anthony Plog's Method for Trumpet (The Plog Program) is directed toward developing playing facility in the area of fingering. The goal is not simply to develop speed, but to promote evenness of both sound and rhythm. Throughout his program, Mr. Plog emphasizes musicality, not at the expense of speed and technical competence, but as the essential goal of all instrumental study. Flexible use of dynamics and variations in rhythmic patterns are also encouraged in pursuit of the aim of developing musical performance habits. The Plog approach is sure to have great appeal to teachers and students of the trumpet.

William Glasser International, Inc.
The organization known formerly as "The William Glasser Institute, Inc." will now be "William Glasser International, Inc." and the new web address is www.wglasserinternational.org. William Glasser International, Inc. is under the direction of the International Board.
The Institute for Reality Therapy was founded in 1967 by Dr. William Glasser, lecturer, author and board-certified psychiatrist, as a response to the requests by professionals for formal training in Dr. Glasser's counseling method, reality therapy. In 1994, The Institute was renamed The Institute for Control Theory, Reality Therapy and Quality Management to reflect the scope of The Institute's teachings. Two years later it became The William Glasser Institute with Dr. Glasser renaming his theory, choice theory. And in 2013, was named William Glasser International (WGI).
Initially, WGI was active only in the United States and Canada but under Dr. Glasser's direction, his teachings have now spread to many countries: Australia, Albania, Bahrain, Bosnia, China, Colombia, Croatia, England, Finland, Germany, Herzegovina, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, and Sweden. His books have now been translated into several languages.
Since 1967, more than 90,000 people-among them educators, clinicians and managers-have completed the intensive introductory course in reality therapy. More than 12,000 have gone on to complete the certification process.
WGI's mission is: Inspiring Peace, Joy & Quality with Choice Theory. The primary task of WGI is to monitor all training leading to Choice Theory/Reality Therapy Certification and the achievement of faculty status. WGI also maintains the records of those who complete various stages of the process worldwide. Some of the other tasks involve: maintaining a website, producing various publications, communicating with the members and member organizations locally and worldwide, developing new courses and supporting research in the application of Dr. Glasser's ideas.
The International Board
The seven areas have been created provisionally by the Interim Board as a way to ensure that everyone has representation on the Board that the Board is an efficient size The number of representatives is based on the number of certified people in each area. We are aware that this division is not final. It will be revised and updated by future Boards..

Okay, this is my honest review and I hope that I can provide some insight for someone not to stumble through the frustrating steps Ive been already.Life is full of expenses and theres simply never a time to really buy what you want. Nevertheless, I got my annual bonus, and I wanted to import stuff from the US, at least for the last year and a half. I have searched many forums, and read about user experiences of other people all about what and who they suggest to use as a shipping forwarded company.
I did not want to spend a lot of money on amazon.com, and Ive selected only items with free shipping and sold by amazon. I chose items sold only by amazon, cause I wanted one single package. Nevertheless. I checked my calendar and the frees hipping option wouldve taken a couple of day just to deliver the items to Ship It To. So I then gave it much though and chose the 2 day air shipping.However, just before I placed the order, I opened my Ship It To account. The once-off shipment option had no consolidation and even though I knew I just order items to ship in once single package, I purchased the monthly plan which include consolidation just for in case I might need it. Ummmm.
Im not a person to badmouth others, but Im really trying to be honest here.So, I wanted my items to be shipped to the Memphis warehouse. Cause one has multiple warehouse options in the shipping calculator, before purchase. Nevertheless. From the accounts panel of Ship It To, after signing in, I apparently did not have enough verification status to have the addresses, other than Torrance and I think Hong Kong, available to me. The verification process include sending a signed form by mail to shipito in the US.
Earlier this year while I was in the US, my sister sent me a christmas and birthday card in November 2009 and I only received it in March 2010. So I will have to wait at least 2 months , at least, for my signed form to arrive in the US, unless I courier it.Nevertheless, I had no other option than Torrance, US. Also, the max. spending amount is US$75.00 until you get 100% verified. I uploaded all the verification docs that I have, and apparently I am now +30% but that does not apply to increasing the US$75.00 one is allowed to spend. I phoned shipito to discuss this and to ask a couple of questions Id like to know, because this is the first US shipment for me, I have not done it in the past, and I just wanted a peace of mind. I mean, I just spent a couple of hundred dollars on my purchase.
I was really astounded by this response, but I decided that its okay.My packages arrived on time at Ship It To. Impressive.
I phoned my local fedex just to ensure that everything will be in order and how I should proceed to get my package, because we only have two FedEx branches in the country, which is located in the larger towns. I also phoned FedExs import and customs agent to ensure how I should proceed in regards to paying the import taxes, etc.So, FedEx Checked.
Everything was checked. Im so afraid that something might go wrong!In the meantime, I sent an email to shipito but with no response after a day.
I sent 4 emails to Daniel and no response since.I sent 4 emails to Mandi no response since.
So, as Sergay said, I have to do a wire transfer, and in addition to the fees charged at my local bank for wiring a payment to the US, which is more than an arm and a leg, they charge 4.something percent as well as 16 dollars something, for receiving a wire payment and thats all my problem.So, the 2 packages is now in the warehouse, and through my admin I chose to have them consolidated. The shipping for both packages should have been 120 dollars something, but after having them consolidated to actually pay less for the shipment, I now own shipito 192.52 dollars.
2) Responding to a question mmmm, do I really have to score them 0? Yes. 0/103) Customer support and providing polite support - 0/10? Should I really be this harsh. No, Im just being honest.4) Well there must be a good point Okay, consolidation service, 10/10. But no, my packages now cost far more after the consolidation. So it cant be 10/10. Okay, 3/10
Im so so so sad. Not because that I wont receive my package in the projected 7 days (thats why I paid Amazon far more for shipping, to have it delivered at shipito in 2 days time) and not because , well, yeah, not because I can only spend 75 dollars in my account.Im so sad, I feel like just forget about the package, totally. Im sad because I feel like being mislead and now that Ive paid them and now that the package is in their warehouse I simply cant get a way communicating with them.Im really disappointed. Really.
I am so so so sad, and so disappointed. I feel like being ripped of.And I know the costs just to get it here in Namibia, is about to cost me far more than what I paid for my items.

The Fortune TellerMature
Zira and Namine are sisters, pretty close ones at that. But there love interests prove that there sisterly bond goes beyond anything they could imagine. Challenges await them but can there bond hold strong in the fight that is ahead of them?
What is a soul mate? Is it a person you feel an absolute and total attraction and understanding with? A bond so strong it could not be broken by the Gods? Or is a Soul mate a figment, a dream that imbeciles believe that give them hope of love being alive and surrounding us; enveloping us in a warm embrace that sends a sense of euphoria for that brief moment. Perhaps a soul mate has nothing to do with love, maybe it is a deep connection that two friends feel that create the "Best Friend" union ship. Call me a cynic, but how can one believe in love when they have never experienced love in its true form? I have had my heart broken and shattered so many times that I feel like half a woman than I did 4 years ago. How can life be so cruel and yet so beautiful. Call me a sociopath but sometimes there is that eerie calmness and beauty in the pain that one can feel. Why do people enjoy looking at monuments from the wars prior, is it because they want to immortalize the ones that were lost, is it because they hope to find a connection with their ancestors, or is it because we long to know the pain they felt and share the beauty of those moments that are captured in stone. It was once said that Aristophanes presented a story about soul mates to Plato that all humans had four arms, four legs and a single head made of two faces. The men were children of the sun, women were children of the earth and the Androgynous were children of the moon which was born from the Sun and Earth. He goes on with his story stating that humans once held a great and powerful strength that threatened even the Gods themselves. The Gods had a solution destroy the human race and never speak of the vile creatures again. Now why wouldn't they kill the humans? Was it because they would have no one, no longer to worship them, no one to pray to, isn't it the humans very prayers that gave the Gods their power? As continued in Aristophanes story, Zeus split the humans in half as punishment for humanity's pride. However by splitting these humans both halves were in depression and misery to the point of death. Apollo had sewn them up and reconstructed their bodies with the navel being the only remnant back to the original form, and yet even with their new bodies those beings would always long for the other half: their Soul mate. So why it is that now in present day soul mates became such an idealized thing. Sigh, there it is again my pessimistic attitude strikes again, back with its sword of negativity, sharp enough to slice any hope of love I may have had. What made me like this? What heartbreak was it that finally caused me to snap, to give up, and to feel so hopeless?
"Earth to Zira! Are you even listening to me???" A shrill voice screeched like a bird from Zira's right. Zira let out a sullen huff and looked up from her white tea cup that held the warm brown liquid that always soothed her during her weakest moments. There her sister, Namine, sat looking beautiful as always, her pale dewy skin basking in the sun's soft and warm kisses, her black hair shining brightly against the dark blue highlights that streaked through like the ocean against the reflection of the moon, her sapphire blue eyes glared sternly into Zira's Emerald eyes.
"Yes, yes I'm listening." Zira said exasperated rolling her eyes in annoyance at her younger sister.
"Oh really? And what was I talking about Zira?" She said curling the right side of her mouth into a smirk knowing Zira hadn't a clue what she was saying.
"You were talking about Leon and how he gave you that necklace for Valentine's Day." She stated blatantly looking back into her Hot Chocolate hearing the surprised gasp escape the lips of her sister.
"Isn't he just the most amazing guy ever? He's sweet, and funny. . . "Zira tuned her sister out as she normally did with conversations like this. She didn't want to tune her sister out it just happened, most days her happiness just annoys her. Zira use to be like that, talking about her boyfriend and how amazing and sweet he was, or how her fiancé proposed and spoke of the wedding preparations, oh there was so many things she used to do. Was it true when they said everything tastes sweeter when you're in love? Why is it that she can't remember those types of things, she doesn't remember much of anything anymore but that was her own fault?
"I want you to be the Maid of Honor in my wedding if we ever get married." Namine said in her cheerful voice that could sound like a hark of Angels or the squeal of bird depending on her exuberance that day. Zira smiled turning to look at her sister with the emeralds orbs that were called eyes and simply stated:
"I would love to. Namine, why don't you and I go to a fortune teller and see if Leon is your soul mate." Zira pushed her leather chair back across the terracotta tile letting the painful shriek echo in the mural adorned walls of the Italian restaurant owned by one of Zira's friends. Zira began stacking the plates and getting ready to help clean when Tony a handsome well-built man came running over and taking the plates from her hands, his fingertips brushing against hers. She smiled and released the plates.
"Tony you know I can help clean, you're like family to me."
"Zira, we haven't been a family in years and probably will never be again." Tony reverberated back harshly, briskly walking away from her. For some reason his words stung her like a bee pierces flesh. Why did that hurt her so much? What did she do that would make him say such a thing and say it so coldly.
"Come on Zira just forget about him, he has no one to blame but himself." Namine said spitting out the end of her sentence like venom from a snakes fang. Namine wrapped her long fingers around her forearm and dragged her out of the restaurant.
"Where would we find a gypsy fortune teller?" She asked excitedly standing up on her toes searching the city streets eagerly for a sign. Truth be told Zira had no idea where one would be located, her mother always told her beware the ones who claim to see, for seeing is only for the dragon's tree. She never knew what that even meant, regardless she still loved the phrase because of the word dragon, she heard that the tree held the blood of a dragon that held tremendous power and had medicinal proprieties.
"She would be this way." Zira said walking toward the darkest part of the street seeing a hand carved wooden sign hanging from the side of the building decorated in orange and red hues of brick. Her sister still holding her forearm dragged her along the sidewalk cracked with age and littered with gum so old even the ants no longer desired a taste. Zira and Namine walked into the store hearing a low chime above their heads letting the store keeper know someone entered; the smell of the store filled her nostrils as a strong incense of Amber wrapped the store in a blanket of its sweet aroma.
"May I help you?" A soft and mousy voice asked from the back corner of the room, Zira was expecting a blind old hag but this was not the case. The woman was beautiful with her chocolate skin and light brown hair tousled in ringlets around her face. Out of the dark corner of the room she stepped into the light that revealed her light blue eyes, they were so light they looked grey with a blue ring around the pupil. Regardless her beauty broke every stereotype in the book.
"Hopefully, we saw a sign outside that said that we could have our fortune read here." Namine stated softly twirling her class ring on her fingers a habit she had whenever she had to speak to someone a nervous twitch if you will.
"Are you two sure you want a glimpse of the future, sometimes it isn't what you want hear." She said looking at Zira, in that moment Zira felt a shiver run up her spine as her eyes locked with the fortune teller.
"Yes we are looking forward to it." Namine interjected, the sound of annoyance starting to rise in her voice. Zira knew her sister was annoyed due to the fact that the woman answered the question but didn't make eye contact with her as if she didn't exist.
"Come, follow me than." The gypsy walked back behind the curtain of beads into the darkness, Zira was a skeptic and knew there was no truth that would come of this experience; nonetheless she did it for Namine. Her sister pushed the beads aside and stepped in followed by Zira; Namine stumbled around trying to find a chair to no avail there was nothing to be found in the peaceful abyss.
"Please sit here and here." A soft voice said as hands touched their shoulders pushing them gently down to their knees on colorful satin pillows that mimicked the colors of a sunrise. Zira looked at the firm and smooth carpet decorated with its hand woven Persian designs that were laid out in front of her and her sister. There the fortune teller placed a variety of items: bones, cards and gothic figurines and toys.
"Namine choose first." The fortune teller said in an ominous tone as she motioned to the items she laid out in front of them.
"How-how did you know my name?" Namine asked in a sharp and shocked manner.
"Dear child, I am clairvoyant I see all and I can feel all. The very aura and energy that you two carry I can sense. Now I ask again Namine, what do you choose?" She said in a tone that sounded wiser than her age, she was an authentic gypsy; there was no crystal ball and no velvet cloth hiding anything just the pure energy in the room was enough to overwhelm you. Namine scanned the items before her and reached her hand out towards the cards but stopped as her eyes caught sight of the grey voodoo doll. Its woven rope body and onyx hair came together like a small doll that seemed to hold a smirk as Namine held it. Her eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store as she held the doll, something about that toy seemed to mimic her excitement.
"It seems that you were persuaded by the witchdoctors gaze, you have chosen the Voodoo doll that was made in honor of a child. The fact that you show a childlike excitement for this little toy is proof enough that you are set on not bearing children in this lifetime. Namine, do you have a boyfriend currently with dyed black hair and eyes as blue as a clear blue sky?" Namine raised her eyebrow quizzically and looked over at Zira, she smiled faintly back at her sister to show her support; but the fact that this fortune teller is reading her so accurately was a bit unnerving.
"Yes! His name is Leon he is wonderful and kind-"
"Namine you must be careful with this man, he hides a past that is very dark and it torments him. His torment and anguish may be unleashed on you, not out of rage but he simply cannot control this feeling, this power he possesses. I am not trying to scare you my child I want you to live happily and safely" The beautiful woman placed her hands on top of Namine's that were still clutching the doll for dear life and inhaled deeply. Zira watched the event unfold before her, some part of her felt like this has happened before, she knew this woman, but how?
"Namine did you suffer from any abuse from your father in your childhood?" Namine looked down at the floor staring into it as if there was a reflection of the past pooled there. There she saw herself sitting in the corner of the bedroom that was littered with posters of her favorite bands and miss matched furniture. "Namine! We have to hide, Josephino is back." Zira said running into her room and grabbing her arm yanking her up towards the top of the bed. Zira breathed heavily looking around as if scanning the room to check if it's clear before her slender fingers pushed the window open.
"Jump out; the trampoline will catch you, Namine I want you to run to our safe house. I will meet you there."
"I can't leave without you." She said in a hushed tone climbing to the window pane and squatting perched on it like a bird ready to fly.
"Oooohhh girls' come out to play!" Josephino said his footsteps loud and jagged as they dragged across the wood floors in the hall.
"You don't have a choice Namine." She said shoving her off the window hearing her squeal followed by the crunch of springs bending under the weight. Namine ran as far and as fast as she could hearing the loud screams of her sister in the distance. She had to keep going, never look back.
"We both suffered from the hands of that devil but I would always protect her from whatever I could, I protected her just as I always will." Zira interrupted in a monotone voice looking at her sister with a melancholy stare knowing that Namine was lost in memory of the past. Zira always admired her sister being able to look back into the past and being able to state every little detail even to the last weed that was growing in the yard. But that also sparked a jealous fury, why could she be blessed with memories but she couldn't remember anything but fragments of the past, most of what she knows is because Namine told her what she use to do and her mother would fill in the gaps between Namine's truths. Zira sighed wondering where her mother was and if she would ever return, she had her doubts since they both were well into their mid-twenties.
The fortune teller looked over at Zira and back at Namine; her face twisting into a confused expression.
"Zira my child please choose your item." She said softly opening her arms gesturing toward the unusual items before her. Namine still held the doll in her hands with a look of endearment, for a moment Zira saw her little 6 year old sister again playing with her dolls, granted Namine never played with them properly she would always kill them decapitating them and such. Zira looked down and saw the bones along with a dagger, its handle twisting into a shape that resembled a vine of a rose, its blade etched with a dark green dragon that wrapped its way around it up until the tip where an emerald stone was embedded. Zira took a deep breath in an overwhelming sense of longing taking over her; she reached out and grabbed the blades handle twirling it in her hands expertly admiring the weight and sharpness of the daggers-edge.
"It cannot be, you have chosen the way of the devil the dragons' seductive jewel and movement captured your eye. Forgive me for my disbelief, Zira do you remember the name Talia?" She asked, her light eyes looking into Zira's, her gaze almost unnerving.
"The name seems familiar but I probably heard it in a video game or movie." She said letting out a sigh turning her eyes to the dagger once again.
"She chose the devil's side, what is that supposed to mean?" Namine asked her voice cracking her nerves getting the better of her.
"Once again forgive my negligence, my name is Talia and as you know I am clairvoyant but I have been around far past my appearance. You don't have to believe what I am about to tell you but I feel it is necessary to tell you so you both know what is in store for you."
"And what if we chose to believe you, how do we know we can trust you?" Zira asked darkly her eyes narrowing into a glare as her demeanor held a demanding presence.
"You simply don't know who you can trust child, the only thing I can tell you is trust no one not even each other." She said ominously, Zira and Namine looked at each other their eyes holding a slight fear within them. Talia grabbed a rather large and ancient text, its cover thin black and what appeared to be fur from a panther, its spine bound together by a seamless object that could not be found from a distance.
"Now there is a legend that has been carried down for centuries. It is a tale of two sisters who were born from the same mother but had different fathers, the younger sibling, Melina, an innocent and naïve girl was born from the king of light: a Kalviyre; a powerful creature that possessed an incredible strength. He also had control over water and fire, light and Shadow. He was held highly and was considered a God to most. Although he was a creature of Light he held darkness within him that he was willing to release on anyone who threatened his daughter, his people or his life. But like anyone who is feared no one dared to cross him and find out just how dark he truly was. Then there was the elder sister, Xaviera, was born from the king of Darkness: a Medon Pavmire or as most clans called them Kivuli. Kivuli were more powerful than the King of Light, he controlled shadow and fire. They also had the ability to shape shift and bend a person's will with telepathy. More people feared their race then the King of light due to the fact that they could take the shape of anyone and anything: no one could be trusted. The sisters, all though they were from opposing sides their mother did her best to protect and nurture them and raise them to the best of her capabilities. But as a mother she knew she had to lose her children, Xaviera always carried an evil glint in her eye and had a temper that would fly into the depths of hell. It was said it would cause her to black out to the point where she wouldn't remember a thing. However Melina would always find a way to calm her down, because the only person Xaviera refused to hurt was her younger sister and her pets. Melina was not as innocent as she appeared she had an evil in her growing as well but she was more patient, kind and would always respect her mother and cherished her like a God. In the legend it goes on to say that on the sisters 16th birthday they would gain access to all of their powers and upon their 22 birthday they would be sent to live with their fathers who were on opposite sides of the world: heaven and hell if you will. The sisters vowed to write to each other every day and visit on special occasions. Sadly the fathers refused all communication with each other and created lies to make them turn against each other made them hate one another. As most legends go there is always a valiant hero that steals the heart of the heroine and this legend is no different. The sisters fell in love with, as luck would have it, brothers, love blossomed and wedding bells followed and a war summoned their husbands off to war shortly after. Xaviera refused to let her husband fight without her and joined the war; she and her hero fought in unison and was an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. What they did not know is that her younger sister's husband, Kai, was on the opposing side and they killed him brutally, severed his limbs and placed him on a spear as a warning to all those who dared to rebel against the Kivuli. And so a quest of revenge and hate broke out and a great war between light and shadow took place, a war that would live on for all eternity. "
"Wait, how can the war last for an eternity, wouldn't they die eventually?" Namine said breaking the erie silence that befell upon the room.
"These sisters were unable to die due to who their fathers were, so to cheat death they would just be reincarnated." Talia answered as she closed the book; she looked at the sisters sighing grabbing the doll and dagger from them both.
"Do you understand what I am trying to tell you? Zira you are the rightful heir to Medon Pavmire's your Kivuli race. Namine you are the heir to the Kalviyre race. You two are to follow your destiny, and you cannot deny what you are any longer. Zira, you only have fragments of your memory due to something that happened in your past, a spell or perhaps a curse, but in order to meet your true potential you need to gain access to your memories. Sadly I cannot help you with such a task; you will have to achieve that on your own free will and without your sister." Namine looked at Talia with a look of worry written on her face as she spoke. Zira laughed and stood up helping Namine to her feet.
"How much do we owe you for your little story reading?" Zira said harshly pulling out her wallet fumbling through the cards as Talia walked closer to her.
"Keep your pathetic materialistic item, I know what you are and when you do awaken I will be the first person to strike you down." She whispered her hot breath hitting Zira's neck; she carefully put her wallet away and turned slowly to look Talia in the face.
"I do not know what game you are trying to play here, but I am not about to believe your bullshit and let you threaten me here in front of my sister. But if you want to strike me down like you say you are, I am more than willing to put you in your place which is in the hole you crawled out of. Now if you excuse me, I will be taking this and my sister and we will part ways." Zira spat out as she took the dagger and doll from Talia's hands and began walking out. Namine sighed and apologized for her sister's behavior. She gave a slight smile to Talia as she followed her sister out. Zira walked ahead of Namine, and suddenly turned and tossed the doll at her and continued walking without a word. Namine looked at the doll running through what Talia said, about Leon, was he her soul mate, and what about those two sisters, one of light and one of shadow? She didn't know what to make of the fortune they got. If it were true then they have a future of darkness ahead of them.

Let's pretend for a moment that you're jetting off to spend Christmas lazing about on a beach. With cocktail in hand and the sand between your toes, it goes without saying that you'll doubtless want to be looking your best for your fellow beach combers. But what to actually sport in this state of undress has unfortunately become a rather muddled affair; there's possibly nothing more unnerving than the sight of another man in a swimsuit he isn't cut out to wear.
From the teeny budgie smugglers that cut unattractively into those winter fat reserves, to oversized baggy board shorts, the likelihood of opting for the wrong style runs from moderately high to dangerously so. If you are, say, going to be frolicking around in the winter sun, perhaps the safest swimwear style to protect your modesty is of the tailored variety. Like a suit, a similarly cut swim short makes the most of what nature has given you, with the general consensus being that they look the bee's knees on practically any man.
The beach wear label Frescobol Carioca certainly thinks so. Launched in 2009, it takes as its inspiration the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, so much so that the brand is actually named after the local beach sport Frescobol – essentially a bat-and-ball game which is meant to be played in the surf. The collection itself is made from high-quality fabrics, with the brand's take on the tailored short doing exactly what this style should – making you look both classy and fabulous. Of course, this being South America, there's a healthy dollop of flamboyance which comes through in the vibrant patterns and colours.
Available online, and with a new shop recently opened in Marylebone, London, there's little excuse to not buy into this jazzy brand. And fear not if you can't afford a holiday this Christmas; throw on a pair of these shorts, turn up the central heating and mix yourself a Caipirinha – a staycation has never looked so appealing.
