Lucy obtained a first class honours degree in Print Media at London College of Printing in 2002 before being awarded a 2 year Arts Council funded residency at Manchester School of Art. Lucy was joint recipient of a British Council grant to exhibit a collaborative project at IMPACT 9 Printmaking Conference in China in 2015 and later at SGCI in Portland, USA.
She has undertaken residencies in Iceland, California, Shetland and Japan, where Lucy recently spent two years exploring the art of paper making and water-based woodblock printmaking.
Lucy has exhibited widely, in the UK and abroad, most recently at Art Toronto & The London Art Fair. She has work in many collections including Tate Britain, MIT & Yale Centre for British Art.
Lucy is an associate lecturer at Manchester School of Art and has led workshops to people of all ages and abilities over the past ten years; an activity that has always inspired and informed her practice. See her website here.
Lucy is now part way through her twelve-month residency and is working on a body of work she is calling 'Nature Caress'. Lucy is producing a series of weekly Japanese water-based woodblock prints – mokuhanga which will result in a collection of fifty-two carved woodblocks and prints by the end of her residency.
Japanese culture notes 24 seasons in the year; each with a different name and character. Lucy is closely observing the seasons at Highgreen and making artwork around the Spring and Autumn equinoxes and the Winter and Summer Solstices.
Lucy marked the Winter Solstice on 21st December with 'The Last Light'. This work comprised 160 small pieces of paper hand-made in the studio, given a light-sensitive coating, numbered and placed before dawn on 21st December in a grid pattern on the interior wall of a derelict shooting hut on the moors near Highgreen. During the day local residents dropped in to the studio to make paper lanterns. Then at dusk Lucy led a lantern-lit walk up the moorland road to the hut where the pieces of paper were removed, taken back to the studio and later washed, dried and stitched lightly together in order, as in the image here. However the paper is still changing in the light and Lucy seems the whole piece as still evolving and a work in progress.
Through the daylight hours of 21st December, the sun's rays on the papers and their movement in the breeze was captured by time lapse photography; then made into a short video you can see on the right of this text. Photographs that are part of the sequence are provided amongst the gallery of images. Photography and video by Guillaume Brisson-Darveau who also helped install the piece.
In March Lucy undertook her piece marking the Vernal Equinox. 'Awake' was a sleep performance. Lucy slept on the moors from dawn till dusk upon a light-sensitive silk sheet. The cyanotype sheet embodies the memory of the sun's passage. 'Awake' celebrates the beginning of spring with the return of lighter days and shorter nights. Time-lapse images were taken during the day by artist Khosro Adibi and these have been made into the short film you can see on this page.
Installations, video and prints made to date are on display now at The Holy Biscuit in the artist's solo exhibition 'Light Meditations' on show till 22nd June. Find out more here.
Lucy is now working on her piece to mark the Summer Solstice on 21st June and for her final exhibition to be held at Highgreen over the weekend 16th/17th September.
Since her arrival Lucy has hosted two popular and successful Open Studio events at Highgreen; one in November and one in April. Tim Bird took some great photos of the events as usual (as here).
Attending the Quilting and Stitching and Wool Gathering group sessions at Tarset Village Hall, Lucy has been enjoying learning new skills as well as the company of local residents.
In turn Lucy has been passing on her printing skills. She has visited the Wood Elves group during one of their sessions at Elsdon Village Hall and Greenhaugh and West Woodburn First Schools. She talked about the Japanese tradition in printing and each child made a print to take home.
At Highgreen, Lucy has led print-making days at for visiting groups of students and staff from three SEN Schools – Thomas Bewick School and Percy Hedley School in Newcastle and Thornhill Park School in Sunderland. Students took home with them a hand-made book of prints of natural materials found during exploring walks. Everyone also had a go at making home-made pizzas in our outdoor earth oven!
A group of eight Fine Art students from Newcastle University also spent time at Highgreen early this summer. Lucy led a five day mini-residency for these students that afforded them a unique immersive experience and the chance to learn wood-block carving and print-making and experiment with these skills.
During the Late Shows at The Holy Biscuit Lucy offered visitors the chance to make a print from her carved wood-blocks. Approximately a hundred people enjoyed having a go and took a print home with them. At Northumberland County Show people were fascinated to watch Lucy as she demonstrated carving a wood-block using traditional Japanese tools.
There will be a weekend of woodblock carving and printing for adults and children early in August. Watch for more about this as planning progresses.
Sign up here to receive VARC news of this and all our forthcoming events.
Follow Lucy's residency as she records it on instagram here and on her blog that you can find at www.lucymayschofield.wordpress.com.

I'm not talking about getting a person who is a fan of you, like if you're a celebrity with fans, to love you. I'm discussing how to show a member of a fandom you love them. Loving a fan is a tricky thing, because their devotion to the fandom is a high priority for them. But they are all possible to love, and will even love in return.
Use the Fandom to Your Advantage
By being able to use the fandom to show that you care, you show that you respect their passions and also understand, to at least a small degree, what goes on in the fandom. Plus, it's almost a guarantee that they will be happy to see it, since it is from a person they care about involving something they care about.
Have Your Own Passions
People in fandoms tend to drift deep into the fandom sometimes, and it can be a little hard to understand if you're not in the fandom as well. Having your own passions will give you something to do while your love is deep into the fandom. Also, it can give you an opportunity to share your interests. Loving someone doesn't mean to give into the other person 24/7. It is a two-way street, so both people should be able to do and share their passions. You can even join the same fandom if you share the interest, but don't feel obligated.
Do Not Judge the Fandom
Judging the fandom your love is in is probably the worst thing you can do. If you judge the fandom, you're judging the person you love. Even if you don't understand or particularly adore the fandom, respect the fact your love is a part of it and enjoying their passions. Simple rule for all relationships.
Go Big or Go Home
This can relate back to using the fandom to your advantage, except with the big question. Side note: girls can ask guys too, no judgement 🙂


text: Part 3 of 4) Why I Teach Pitching Mechanics by FEEL Posted by Ricardo W Categories Baseball Training, Core Velocity Belt, Pitching Mechanics Date May 8, 2017 Comments 0 comment Let me get you caught up to speed in case you missed the first two parts. I've been teaching pitching mechanics by FEEL for a long time now and honestly, I don't know how I ever coached any other way. Teaching and coaching by FEEL does a couple of things. #1: Coaching by FEEL puts the player in 100% control. After all, he's the one FEELing what I"m asking to him to do. #2: Becuase he's actually doing, FEELing… He's understanding. And that my friend is the key to coaching. You could be the smartest guy in the world but if your players don't understand what you're really saying… Who's the dumbarse? And that's the real problem we are facing in the baseball instruction world today. Players are over-loaded with information and short on communication. In other words, the reason they have poor mechanics is because their body has no idea what to do. You know how it goes… Talk to 15 pitching coaches and you get 15 different answers to the same question. But… That wouldn't happen if you were being taught to FEEL your mechanics. That's where FEEL comes into play. Part 1: F = Focus. Seriously, if you don't have a clear Focus of what you're attempting to do, how in the heck would you ever know if you were successful? How could you ever learn the difference between right and wrong, without a crystal clear goal? Part 2: E= Experience. Until your body has experienced what it FEELs like to do wrong, it will never know right. Contrast my friends is the secret ingredient to FEEL. In other words… You gotta FEEL wrong to FEEL right. That brings us to the second letter E. E = Eliminate The player development is the merely the process of elimination. Its all about finding ways "not-to" do it the next time. Yeah that's right. FEEL is all about failing, kinda. Really it's about re-defining failure and realizing there has to be a time to fail. Think about it. You only truly ever Fail because you didn't realize why you Failed in the first place. Being the sport of baseball is built around failure, this is pretty important to know. Cause at the end of the day we all expect you to fail. But the true measuring stick is how you respond to failure. That's how you'll be remembered. In the end… E= Eliminate Eliminate communication barriers – Talk less, FEEL more. Eliminate a 'one-way' mentality – Try different things, you never know what works best for you, until you FEEL what truly works for you! Trust what you FEEL! P.S: If you're on the fence about The Core Velocity Belt, just know this… There's got to be a reason over 160 NCAA D1 programs along with 19 MLB teams use The Core Velocity Belt every single day. FEEL The Core Velocity Belt for yourself and if it's not everything you imagined, send the darn thing back and I'll not only refund every dime but I'll customize your very own program. www.CoreVelocityBelt.com Unsubscribe Baseball Think Tank PO Box 171 Goodlettsville, Tennessee 37070 United States Ricardo W Previous post 3 Ways to Throw harder - Without Throwing Harder May 8, 2017 Next post Core Velocity 3-Day Camp - Price Goes Up $300 After Midnight May 9, 2017 You may also like Are You Wasting Time and Money in-(VEST)ING in Waist Support Bands? 2 June, 2017 How To Throw Smoke Using A Breathing Stick! 21 May, 2017 Learn To Throw A Lights Out Curveball In The Dark Using Only A Halloween Toy! 17 May, 2017

Saying Yes May Come with a Hefty Price Tag
Working in any organizations does require saying yes. However all those yes responses may come with a potential hefty price tag.
I just read of a noted TV commentary who is now saying yes to whatever the new boss wants. Part of this ongoing agreement is to "humanize" this particular individual. Yet at the previous organization, she was quite successful without any additional "humanizing" activities.
Her acquiescing to her new employer reminded me that when we say yes all the time to the boss, we are consciously and even subconsciously agreeing to all the core values (business ethics) within that organization. This does not present a problem provided our own positive core values are in alignment with the organization that currently employs us.
We hear about entrepreneurs to even salespeople about saying No and the benefits of saying No. Yet rarely do we hear about employees saying No. This is probably because the employees want to keep their jobs and may not have the opportunity to go elsewhere for a variety of reasons.
Over at LinkedIn, I made this update to see how others felt about always saying yes and the ramifications of saying yes all the time. Here is that update and you can click here to make your own comments.
"When you say "YES" to everything from the boss, remember you are also saying "YES" to that organization's core values. This begs the following questions: #1 – Do you know the organization's core values?; #2 – Are you in agreement with 100% of them?; #3 – If the answer is No, Are you seeking another position?"
These questions are truly important to consider. Additionally if executive leadership has not reinforced their positive core values (business ethics), the overall sales culture can literally run amok.
The bottom line two questions are:
"By always saying yes, are you saying NO to your own personal ethics, positive core values." If so, what long term damage is such behavior costing you?
And that second answer is the price tag you are paying for always saying yes.Share on Facebook
Are Your Sales Results Suffering Because of this Confusion?
"I have plenty of lists, daily, weekly and monthly" said an acquaintance. My next question was "How are your sales results?" The not so surprising response was "they could be better."
This acquaintance and many of my sales coaching clients share this confusion about list making and goal setting.
List making is very much like a simple mini action plan. Each item on the list is an action based upon an objective to be achieved. In some instances, having lists works on the smaller actions and usually fails on the bigger ones.
A goal is a predetermined objective to be undertaken with the desired end to be a positive result. Sometimes especially if the goal is to increase sales, the goal must be thoroughly "thought out" or what I call "flushed out." This thinking or flushing requires some additional time. Critical thinking skills such as integrative ability must be applied along with:
- Theoretical problem solving (all those what ifs)
- Problem solving
- Problem and situation analysis
Lists work with goals, but lists alone will not achieve the desired sales results.
Consistent goal achievers are excellent critical thinkers. They identify what they want to achieve and then look to the what is limiting them from achieving their goal. These limitations may be also considered as challenges or obstacles.
The confusion between list making and goal setting may also explain why there are misguided decisions that create misdirection. If the item on the list is more complex or must work with another action that has not been clearly articulated, then the ability to achieve the goal especially if the goal is to increase sales is severely limited.
Another tell tale sign of this confusion is the answer to this question:
Have you invested the time to create a strategic thinking plan with specific written daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual goals?
Again, the answer over 95% of the time is NO! What this answer tells any sales coach or business coach is there is considerable misalignment happening which helps to explain miss guided decisions creating miss directed actions.
Yes, lists are great, but written goals aligned to an overall strategic thinking plan will consistently increase sales and far better sales results than lists alone.

Leverage Your Mindset to Increase Sales
If you want to increase sales, right now momentarily forget about your sales training, all the books you read on sales, your CRM, your To Do List, your sales funnel, your outstanding proposals, your appointments today, your sales leads, the calls you must make to whatever else is cluttering your brain. Now think about your mindset, how are you going to approach all those tasks?
Far too often we allow all the clutter to keep us from seeing what is actually keeping us from our desires, our goals. This clutter is in many instances negative as in "I gotta call so and so."
Sales Coaching Tip: I "gotta" is negative. I "want" to is positive.
The Reality of Mindset
William James who is considered by many to be the father of American psychology said:
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes."
More Than Attitudes to Increase Sales
Our attitudes evolve from our belief system. Many of our beliefs are subconscious, hidden in the far recesses of our mind. Depending upon the research and if we count our sleeping hours, the total number of daily subconscious thoughts range from 10,000 to 600,000. Here is were our deepest beliefs lie.
Attitudes reflect our beliefs both conscious and subconscious.
Negativity First
We are conditioned as children to negativity. Parents tell us:
- "Don't touch the stove"
- "Don't talk to strangers"
- "Don't go to where you are not invited"
Sales Coaching Tip: The last two bullets explain much of the fear of cold calling.
Our parents in their efforts to keep us safe from harm have started our brains on a negative path. Unfortunately, they failed later to counter balance all that negative conditioning.
Then as we grow, we internalize these don'ts and place negative consequences on them. Our DO NOTS have now turned into CANNOTS!
A New Mindset
If you wish to increase sales, there is a way to discover where you have gaps (clarity) and how to close those gaps (execution).
Here is the formula for a positive mindset regardless of your role:
(b) • {A+S+K} + mmG = PBC = IP ∴ IR

The Spray and Pray Tsunami of Social Selling
Social selling appears to have taken the spray and pray sales approach to tsunami proportions. Clueless or lazy salespeople now drown people with emails to postings with sales pitches.
These salespeople and probably some are marketing people spray these sales pitches all over the place through social selling and then pray something will eventually stick. The idea of actually knowing your ideal customer, your target market to the sales leads never enters the minds of these individuals.
For example, this morning I received an email from a complete stranger wanting me to sign up for a one day seminar on time management for the unbelievable price of $700. My early bird price was $445.
Training and Development Coaching Tip: A one day workshop delivers less than 10% cognitive retention after 14 days.
This person did not know the following:
- I deliver time management training and development
- I live in NW AZ no where near Nebraska, Indiana or Texas (these were the locations for the workshops)
The Power of Social Selling
Social selling is a tremendous and powerful platform especially for SMBs. The investment is nominal and the reach can be exponential. However if done in error, the results can be harmful to the organization's credibility as well as the person engaged in social selling.
Spraying and praying when it comes to sales is not new. Salespeople have been doing this for years. Buy a list, send out direct mail pieces and reap the rewards. Of course the research suggests if the business receives a 2-3% response that is good.
Then there are those salespeople who at B2B networking events tell everyone their ideal customer is anyone with a pulse. Messages like this are smaller examples of spray and pray marketing.
If you want to increase sales, gain clarity as to who your ideal customer is. Knowing about the industry trends as well as the marketplace would also be beneficial. Taking these small and predetermined steps will move you far close to your goal of increase sales than the continued spray and pray behaviors of others.
P.S. Time management is an oxymoron. Schedule a time to speak with me by clicking here to learn why.Share on Facebook
Lazy Salespeople and LinkedIn
A colleague, David Brock, made an update posting on LinkedIn sharing his frustration about people using company profiles wanting to connect with him. Then if he did accept, the next action would be a sales pitch. Beyond being a violation of LinkedIn policy, this action demonstrated how many lazy salespeople still exist. (Note: Only a person not a company can send a LinkedIn invitation.)
Lazy Salespeople and LinkedIn Invitations
Then there are those template LinkedIn invitations from people. I have been tracking mine recently and in the last week all 20 plus invitations used the general, template invitation. Not one person took the time to personalize the LinkedIn invitation. Several did send me a sales pitch after the invitation was accepted and I immediately disconnected from them.
Imagine how refreshing it would be to actually receive a personalized LinkedIn invitation. The invite would educate you, the recipient, as to what prompted the invite. Then you don't have to rack your brains or do your research to figure out who in the heck this person is or how in the heck do I know him or her.
LinkedIn Coaching Tip Courtesy of Viveka von Rosen: If you are using the mobile app, there are 3 little dots on the top right and by clicking on these dots you can see the option to personalize the invitation.
LinkedIn Messages and Sales Pitches
How about those LinkedIn email messages and their sales pitches? Many if not most of these LinkedIn members never truly read the profile of the person they are pitching. Again, their desire to pitch demonstrates their laziness.
LinkedIn is an excellent social media platform to locate sales leads and then to begin to build a relationship. Making a sales pitch right out of the gate is beyond ridiculous. This sales strategy and tactic will not increase sales.
LinkedIn Profiles and Lazy Salespeople
Possibly the most obvious laziness is in LinkedIn profiles. Beyond having a headline that looks like all the other headlines for a particular industry, the summary is usually a regurgitation of the person's resume. Many even lack a professional photography. The attitude is throw up anything and it will stick while the reality is throw up anything and it will probably suck.
If your goal is to increase sales, then revisit your LinkedIn profile and your marketing strategy. Yes LinkedIn can increase sales and quickly demonstrate to others if you are one of those lazy salespeople.Share on Facebook
Why Are So Many Salespeople Hungry for the One Size Fits All Solution?
Right now I cannot count the number of articles, books to sales training workshops that promise to deliver what I call the one size fits all sales solutions. From the top five closing questions to a proven sales process, each of these sales solutions fail to recognize these three critical buying axioms and one selling axiom.
#1 – People Buy From People They Know and Trust
The fallacy of these one size fits all selling solutions presume the salesperson has established a sound relationship with the buyer and every relationship is the same. Building rapport in sales (I truly dislike that designation because most people can build rapport with a dog) takes time, a lot of time. Sales research continues to suggest very few people can earn the sale on the first contact.
#2 – People Buy First on Emotions, Justified by Logic
More and more sales research is being complied about the importance of emotions and how those emotions (emotional intelligence) are connected to the brain (neuro science). Books like Sales EQ by Jeb Blount help salespeople to understand the power of emotions for both the buyer and the seller.
#3 – People Buy on Value UNIQUE to Them
Since each of us are unique individuals, what we value is unique to us. One of my dearest friends will only buy white or silver cars as her current house is white. She has shared with me numerous times how car salespeople try to sell her a red car and ignore her desire (think value) for a white or silver one.
#4 – Most Salespeople Do Not Know Their Talents; Thereby Fail to Leverage These Talents
After working with hundreds of salespeople, I can honestly say the super majority, well over 90%, do not know their talents. The one size fits all solution works against not with the talents of these individuals.
Yes I know salespeople are hungry to increase sales. However, when that hunger ignores these three buying axioms and one selling axiom, the goal to increase sales will not be achieved or it will be much harder to achieve.Share on Facebook
Bad Customer Service Should Not Be a Sales Objection
Selling in today's world has many challenges. Bad customer service should not be one of them.
Top sales performers know how to overcome a sales objection. Yet when that sales objection is something beyond their control such as customer service, delivery by another vendor to invoicing, earning the sale becomes even more difficult.
Real Time Bad Customer Service
Recent events on social media have shown the impact of real time customer experience. A colleague, Carole Mahoney said "The customer experience is just a viral tweet away." And she is quite correct.
Not only do current customers know of the less than desirable customer experience and how it was handled by management, but other sales leads or sales prospects are now witness to that same experience in real time.
Imagine for a moment you are just about to "close the sale" when a viral tweet reveals bad customer service. How do you handle this sales objection? And the better question is why should you if everyone in the organization has the same clarity of purpose?
When the smallest to the largest organizations have an engaged sales culture where everyone knows his or her actions can have a positive or negative impact on current and future growth, they are probably less likely to deliver bad customer service.
Excellent customer service supports the organizational and the salespeople goal to increase sales. The salespeople no longer have to fear "what happens after the order is placed." Yes, they know they must stay in communication with the customer, but they also know their in house team has their back.
Executive Leadership Must Lead
Failure to address the bad customer experience correctly is the responsibility of leadership as noted in this posting: Tone Deaf Executive Leadership Ignores What Customers Value. When executive leadership fails to listen to the customers, their tone deafness just adds to the sales objections.
With all the resources including books, podcasts, webinars, seminars, training and development available, no organization should deliver bad customer service. Salespeople should not have to overcome this sales objection. If it is happening, then executive leadership must get off their rear ends and start leading in the right direction.Share on Facebook
Tone Deaf Executive Leadership Ignores What Customers Value
Once again corporate executive leadership demonstrates how truly tone deaf it really is. The recent Tweet war between Delta Airlines and Ann Coulter reveals that Delta leadership does not know what their customers value. Hint for those in leadership roles – It is not the money.
When customer pay for something, they expect what they pay for. Pretty simple. In the case of Ms. Coulter she expected to receive additional leg room given she pre-booked and paid for a seat to give her that extra comfort. Given her financial status, I am sure she would have paid more, but $30 was the going rate.
Tone Deaf Executive Leadership Thinks Only About the Money
Someone in an executive leadership role who offered her the $30 as a refund and then went on to defend the removal of her from her paid and pre-booked seat was beyond tone deaf. I do not know the reason for her removal outside of the presumed fact she was not creating a problems with her fellow passengers.
Today, social media sites such as Twitter allow individual customers to have the power of the ink without any cost. Possibly they have forgotten this quote attributed to Mark Twain as well as to Former Congressman Charles Brownson, Indianapolis Republican:
"I never quarrel with a man who buys ink by the barrel."
When executive leadership or even management believes customer service is all about the dollars and they forget customer loyalty is about how they treat people. To say Delta's customer service was horrendous is an understatement.
Being tone deaf now has disrupted customer loyalty. Loyal customers may think twice about the obvious disconnect between what they value and what Delta believes they value.
Sales and Leadership Coaching Tip:
Value is unique to each buyer (customer).
The tone deafness demonstrated by Delta Airlines executive leadership also reveals the total lack of emotional intelligence. These leaders failed to recognize and understand a paid customer's emotions, but only recognized their own emotions. This is why they failed to manage both.

Are You Forgetting Sales Leadership Is Situational?
How many times have we read or heard about leadership being situational? If any type of leadership is truly situational, it is sales leadership.
Leadership is first about leading yourself or self-leadership. From your own leadership efforts you secure your desired results.
Peter Drucker said "Leadership is all about results."
In sales, results do matter. For without the ability to increase sales, those in sales would be quickly unemployed.
When top sales performers meet with new sales leads, the nuances of their sales conversation will adapt to the situation. They understand people communicate differently. In many instances, top salespeople know and leverage their knowledge of DISC to further the sales conversation and ultimately the relationship.
CLICK HERE to Schedule a call with Leanne to learn more about DISC and how it impacts your sales leadership and sales results.
Those new to sales or who have just returned from the "latest and greatest sales training" event in many instances wear blinders. Their inexperience or recent learning conditioning has them so focused to follow a per-determined path they lose:
- The relationship
- Sales opportunity
Understanding how sales leadership is situational is incredibly important. Knowing what to say and when to say what to say always returns to the situation. Being present in the moment supports those strong leadership qualities from active listening to caring to respect.
Situational leadership happens from experience. For those new to sales, securing a mentor or even a sales coach may support further sales leadership growth.
Additionally, those who understand situational leadership in sales as well as in business know the importance of leaving one's ego at the door. These leaders recognize each meeting (think situation) is potentially different because the other person is different from the last person they met.
Each person is unique and what he or she values is unique.
If you want to increase sales, then start reflecting upon your own sales leadership. Find an accountability partner to review with you your recent sales meetings. And remember, your success is determined by your own willingness to recognize what you don't know.Share on Facebook
To Increase Sales Is Both a Want and a Need
Desires are strong emotions. The want to increase sales is a desire.
Additionally, needs can be emotional as well as logical. I need to increase sales because my job supports myself, my family, pays my rent or mortgage, etc.
What happens is in many instances salespeople and sales managers fail to leverage both of these motivating factors. There is one psychometric or talent assessment that looks to "the want and the need." This instrument is based upon the work of Dr. Spanger and Allport and measures six or seven motivating factors (depending upon publisher) such as:
Publisher: Innermetrix
|Motivational Driver Defined
|Publisher: TTI
|Balance, harmony and form
|Economic or practical returns
|Stand out as independent or unique
|Be in control or have influence
|(See above combined)
|Humanitarian efforts to help others
|Establish order, routine and structure
|Knowledge, learning and understanding
When we look at these motivational drivers to increase sales, research has discovered when the Economic or Utilitarian/Economic motivator is in the top 50% of all motivators, the person has a greater success in achieving the goal to increase sales.
Also when we use the filters of want or need, these drivers can be separated as follows:
|Motivational Driver
|Want – More Emotional
|Need – More Logical
Additionally, through the 3 innate motivational drivers of Mastery, Autonomy and Purpose (relates to people) as identified in the 1970's work of the Theory of Self-Determination by Deci and Ryan, these motivational drivers can be categorized by through these more basic drivers.
|Motivational Driver
|Purpose as Related to People
Note: Economic probably can be shared by all three motivational drivers.
When SMB owners, sales managers and even salespeople understand what drives them to increase sales, they gain much greater clarity and then can make better decisions and have far less missed opportunities.

It was a long weekend. The end of 2012! I was glad to see it. No office. No business. No traffic. It's so fun to spend my quality time with the whole family. But, when I looked around, gosh, I found it mess.
I have to admit, make the house messy is easier than make it tidy. We can put our stuff everywhere. Throw it wherever we like. Buy some new objects and put it on our old things. And when we find our house disorder, we just can give up. We prefer to watch television while enjoying potato chips than clear up our house.
But come on! Holiday is a long time to do something useful. If you don't want to sport or wash your car, organize your house. I know it's not easy, but I can give you six easy ways to organize your house:
Eliminating stuff
Pull out the stuffs you don't use anymore. Clothes, furniture, magazine. Maybe you find it all with dust on it. Clean it and bring it to flea market, contribute it, or open the garage sale. The important is, your house is free from unused stuffs.
Change one-purposed stuff into two-purposed stuff
Look at furniture you have and pick out what you don't really use often. Observe if there's another way to reuse it in a new way. Just because it's designed for one purpose, it doesn't mean that you have to use it only for that. There's a possibility to make it for another function.
Use "dead space"
Maybe you have a hiding place in your house such as a space under the stairs. This is potential storage space. Use this to put some of your stuff that you may still use. But, put it orderly and esthetically.
Put up high or down low
If you have some things and you don't use it very often, store these items up high. It can be on your bookshelf, wardrobe, or kitchen shelves. Or, you can put them all down low under your bed. Just one tip from me: think before you buy. If you won't use that stuff as often as you guess, you can borrow it from your friend or family.
Use decorative boxes
Want to put some things in a box? Good idea. But if you choose the bad one, especially if you put it on the pantry shelf and your guess may visit this place too, they will notice it. So, use some decorative boxes. You can buy it or create it by yourself. No idea? Pick one box and cover it with gift-wrapping paper.
Buy the multi-purpose furniture
Nowadays, furniture is better at supplying the storage space. When you're shopping, look for things that have multi-purpose: coffee table or television shelf with shelves or drawers, etc. It won't waste the place of your house. Further, it makes your house wider than when it has many furniture.
Well, happy new year! Hope you love your house deeper.

Peroxidases in grass dew derived from guttation: possible role in polymerization of soil organic matter
- Citations

Peroxidases are enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cross-linking and polymerization of certain organic compounds by hydrogen peroxide and other organic peroxides. This study demonstrates that peroxidases are present in dew (droplets formed as the result of guttation) collected from Bermuda grass hybrids 419 and Tifway 2 [Cynodon dactylon (L.) × Cynodon transvaalensis Davy], which are warm-season C4 grasses, and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), which is a cool-season C3 grass. Peroxidase activity [quantified with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (activity 152 purpurogallin units/mg) as standard] in guttational fluids collected from grasses during early morning was in the 80 to 120 µg/L range. Isoelectric focusing was used to determine isoelectric points (pI) of the isozymes present in the Bermuda grass dew following dialysis and lyophilization of the collected dew. The pI values ranged from 4.3 to 8.3 with 14 isozymes being detected using guaiacol and hydrogen peroxide as substrates. Peroxidases also were extracted from soil supporting the growth of Bermuda grass. Peroxidases in these soils were most abundant in the top 5 cm layer (activity was in the 6.8 to 16 purpurogallin units/g range). Stability and activity of these peroxidases in the presence of fulvic and humic acids were evaluated. Compared to controls with no added humic substances, peroxidase activity was inhibited by a soil fulvic acid and prolonged by a humic acid. Field measurements indicated that peroxidase activity did not greatly decrease during the winter when the grass was dormant, indicating that the peroxidases released into the soil remain active for a considerable time. Based on results in these studies and previously determined dry and wet deposition of atmospheric peroxides, we estimate that peroxidase-catalyzed reactions in areas planted in these grasses may convert about 8 g C m-2 yr-1 of labile soil organic compounds to more persistent oligomers and polymers.

Terms Of Pre-Order
Pre-orders require us to commit to an order with a specific manufacturer which we are then liable for. If you place a pre-order, the minimum 10% deposit of total guide price required to place a pre-order is non-refundable, should you choose to cancel. The only exception to this is if the price quoted on your order is going to change by more than 10% when the item arrives.
ETA's can vary and are not guaranteed arrival date. We list the date given by manufacturer, but delays can and do happen. We cannot cancel your pre-order, even if delays are substantial, so please take this into account when ordering. We regularly update the product listing with the latest ETA. Keep an eye on the listings after you order to see when your product is due to arrive.
Orders must be settled within 30 days of the product coming into stock. Failure to settle within this period may mean you lose your deposit and pre-ordered item.
Prices quoted can be subject to change as items are only billed by manufacturers when they ship to us. We do everything we can to give you an accurate buy price, but pre-orders that are far away can vary in price if exchange rate varies from now until then.
Postage fees can also vary depending on the size of the product, type of shipping and number of boxes required. We suggest you pre-order each item individually as that way each pre-order's postage is paid separately and can ship as it comes into stock.
Why Pre-Order?
Many items are produced in limited quantities. Pre-Ordering looks to ensure that you get one of the limited numbers produced.
What happens when I Pre-Order?
Upon receiving your Pre-Order, we will place an order with the appropriate distributor for your item. The distributor in turn places the order with the manufacturer who then ensure that the item is shipped to the distributor when it's ready. This means we are liable for the order from that point which is why we charge you a deposit to ensure you're serious on purchasing the item.
Why are some pre-order ship dates so far away?
A number of manufacturers produce items in batches according to demand. The manufacturing process takes considerable time as the items are often hand painted.
What if I change my mind and want to cancel?
Should you wish to cancel your Pre-Order you can do so, but you will lose the deposit you paid. The reason for this is we will have placed an order for your item and we are liable for that item.
Is the price you list the final price I will pay?
Most of the time the guide price will be correct. But as we buy most pre-orders in from abroad, the price can vary due to exchange rate variance. Sometimes that can work in your favour and sometimes against. When the item is ready to ship from the distributor, we will inform you of any price changes. If prices have risen by over 10%, you have the right to cancel order if you so wish and we will return your deposit.
Are Pre-Orders guaranteed to arrive?
Most of the time they are pretty reliable. However, sometimes the manufacturer can run into production or licensing problems and occasionally items are cancelled either temporarily or permanently. Of course if this happens we will refund your deposit.
What happens when my Pre-Order comes into stock?When your item comes into stock you have 30 days to pay the remaining amount due (Guide Price less your deposit) or risk losing your Pre-Order and deposit.
Can I pay off my pre-order in staged payments rather than one big sum?
We can send you stage payments if you wish to pay in advance of your product shipping. Simply email us to let us know your preferred payment stages. We do ask that the balance is settled at maximum 30 days after the product is in stock.

In a recent blog I mentioned that I am an aunt to over 50 nieces and nephews. I guess I am a great-aunt to at least 30 or more, and a great-great aunt…. I haven't counted them recently.
My mother had 10 children, and therefore from them became a grandmother to over 50 grand-children. She died 24 years ago, and for about the last 5 years or so of her life was unable to carry on the legacy that she had, previous to then.
She was a woman who regardless of her financial situation, made sure that she recognized each of her children and grandchildren on birthdays and Christmas. For each of their birthdays they were sent a card with a two dollar bill inside. It couldn't be just any two dollar bill, it had to be clean and look new. If necessary she would ask cashiers to exchange one that she had for a newer looking one.
Christmas was the most fun as I used to go with her during the years she did it. We would go to our favorite department store and begin to shop. It depended on the age of the child what she would decide to buy. For the wee ones it was most likely a small book, and she inscribed each one. For the age of approximately 8 years plus, it would most likely be two pair of pretty underwear for the girls and for the boys two pair of socks each. Sometime if she felt like giving something different she would maybe get a couple of T-shirts for the boys. The parents most likely would get the same thing.
I loved going with her because by the time we checked out, the buggy would be full of dozens of socks and girls underwear and books. The look on the check-out person's face was priceless. After all, it's not often that they would come across this. Usually, my Mom would explain where it all was going, and a conversation would ensue.
After we got home the work started. Taking all the price tags off….it wouldn't do that they would see how much they cost. Then we would start with each family and make piles ensuring that no one was forgotten. The wrapping came next as each one had to have Christmas paper. Between the wrapping and writing the tags out, it would be a several day event.
The presents that were staying in the same city were put into bags for each family. But for the out-of -town ones they then had to be wrapped again in the brown post office paper, with the name and address written for each family on the outside. All of one family's were put into one package to make it simpler for shipping. Some were going to California…some to British Columbia and others to different cities within the same Province. Then came the trek to the Post Office to mail them all. Whatever way was the least expensive to mail would be done, but the cost of mailing was usually more than the cost of the gifts.
My mother could not be talked out of doing this, as some tried to do. It meant a lot to her to have something under the Christmas tree from her, especially the grandchildren. I'm not sure when she started doing this but I seem to just always remember her doing so.
She was a Christian and we always knew and celebrated the real meaning of Christmas but this was part of the celebration.
I have some of my Mom's nature within me because I love to send birthday and Christmas cards to those I love. It's tradition and a way of still connecting with some, that during the year there may not be the opportunity to do.
So while some may perceive this to be a somewhat silly or frivolous thing for her to do, it is one of my most special memories.

Radio Navigation Aids
Before the world could have reliable airlines, overnight shipping, and all weather fighters, researchers and inventors had to develop a system for pilots to navigate and land their aircraft without seeing the world around them. Until a pilot could safely fly at night, in fog, or other poor weather, flight also could not compete with the railroads or trucks. From 1918-1934, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), the US Navy, the Post Office, and other government and private organizations regularly used College Park Airport to design and test "blind flight" systems. Their work is part of the foundation of the modern Instrument Landing System still used today.
When the Air Commerce Act of 1926 dramatically increased the federal government's role in developing and regulating aviation, National Bureau of Standards (NBS) officials became responsible to lead specific areas of aeronautical research, including developing radio aids to navigation. That summer, NBS started developing College Park as one of its field sites. They soon erected a 70-foot wooden tower supporting two antennas and a 500-watt radio transmitter. Early success came in 1927, when NBS tested a "vibrating reed" visual radio beacon indicator. In this system, the ground transmitter emitted two radio signals for the plane to receive. If the pilot was in between the two signals, the two reeds on the airplane would appear the same length. When the plane was too far to the left or right to find the airfield, the corresponding reed would appear longer. However, the system was not accurate enough, did not respond fast enough to changes in direction, and was too heavy for commercial aircraft.
In 1931, a brand-new Curtiss Fledgling J-1 Special, a 2-place open cockpit biplane trainer, was acquired for blind flying tests. It had a collapsible hood that could cover the pilot's cockpit for blind flying tests without obstructing the view of the backup pilot. On September 5, 1931, Marshall Boggs used this plane to complete the first blind landing at College Park, with James L. Kinney as check pilot. While accuracy was improving, the system was very sensitive and was only effective in good weather (no wind, no turbulent air, no radio static), the opposite of when instruments were needed.
In late 1933, financial cutbacks dictated by the Great Depression ended the government organized development. However, several former NBS employees then established the Washington Institute of Technology (WIT) to continue developing radio navigation at College Park. WIT then produced blind flying instruments for the US Navy to test. On May 1, 1934, Navy Lt. Frank Akers took off from Anacostia Naval Air Station in a Berliner-Joyce OJ-2, and successfully landed at College Park using only the WIT instruments. A little over a year later, on July 30, 1935, Akers used similar equipment to land on the aircraft carrier USS Langley, while it was underway off the coast of San Diego. Despite these successful tests, the technology was not yet accurate enough for regular aircraft carrier operations. However, it was useful for Navy seaplanes.
Although the Navy didn't purchase the system, WIT officials created the Air-Track Corporation of College Park to sell the landing equipment to commercial airports. Pittsburgh, PA, officials bought and installed the system leading to the first blind landing of a passenger-carrying flight on January 28, 1938. Unfortunately, pilots never trusted the system enough to encourage airlines and airports to invest in this system.

No Immaculate conception[edit]
The fact that our Most Holy Lady did not commit any sin does not mean that the papal doctrine of the "Immaculate Conception" is true or acceptable.
This doctrine is based on the anthropology of Augustine of Hippo which is not accepted by the Greek Fathers nor by Saints and teachers of the Western Church like Saint John Cassian or Saint Vincentius of Lerinum.
Even several medieval authors (e.g. Bernhard of Clairvaux) who accepted the opinions of Augustine did not believe that the Mother of God had been conceived without sin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 20:47, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Join us for this presentation about ways to raise your vibration and nourish your soul when life feels overwhelming.
Wendy will share her personal healing story.
We'll practice spontaneous free writing and learn how writing can access our inner guidance
and healing wisdom
"I found this class a great support as I journey to make a commitment to write on a regular basis. Your workshop goes beyond teaching for resiliency. Sharing your personal story allowed me to think of everyone's story. It helped me to claim that I have something meaningful to put out into the world through my writing." -- G. Smith
"Each class I attend with you as the facilitator gives me a new insight, technique or facet to writing and this class was no different. I gained insight into taking journal writing one step further to self-reflective writing. It was a discovery that illuminated the writing process as a tool for healing. You shared your story in a clean, graceful way that was inspiring and up-lifting. As always, the caliber of your class was excellent, providing an atmosphere of safety and acceptance, encouraging vulnerability and authenticity in sharing." --R.K.
"The writing workshop for me was a wonderful way to find my voice. The exercises were a door into my creative side which I found thrilling and affirming."-- C. Haasken

This U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF) decision affirmed the conviction of Jones, an HIV positive Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, for adultery. He was originally sentenced to a dishonorable discharge, confinement for one year, total forfeitures, and a pay reduction, although the lower Court of Criminal Appeals mitigated the dishonorable discharge to a bad-conduct discharge while affirming the findings.
Jones was diagnosed with HIV following routine blood testing. Although the case report says he was "ordered" to inform future sexual partners that he was HIV positive, he does not appear to have been charged with disobeying a "safe-sex" order. Subsequently, he engaged in sexual intercourse with Mrs. U, the wife of another Marine in his company. Information concerning this affair and the fact that the Jones was HIV positive came to her husband's attention.
After an investigation, Jones was charged with adultery and assault with a means likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm. He said that he used a condom during the sexual intercourse but did not inform Mrs. U that he was HIV positive. The military judge acquitted Jones of the aggravated assault but imposed the maximum punishment for adultery, including dishonorable discharge, stating that he found appellant's conduct to be "outrageous" and referring to his "disregard for the health and safety of an unknown victim."
Jones appealed, contending he was sentenced for an offense he did not commit. The court disagreed: "Although we have stated that an accused should not be treated more harshly simply because he is HIV-positive when his conduct does not risk transmission of the virus, we have also held that an individual may be convicted of aggravated assault even when he uses a condom, if he fails to inform his partner of his condition." The court stated that subjecting Mrs. U to the risk of a fatal disease justified consideration of evidence of Jones's HIV status when imposing the sentence for adultery.

Bedroom Lamps Sets
Photo 1 of 7Next
The Bedroom Lamps Sets suited to natural sort of kitchen house. This natural table has a square-shape that's heavier than wood or MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) in order to produce a more natural perception. This table mixes natural shades like brown.
Tabletops also broader such that it can be utilized to put fruits items such as spoons, plates, etc. Chairs used to be lean with a rounded or square legs are small and thin in order to steer clear of the effect of rigidity in the home.

Fall is always busy around here.
That was dumb.
Fall is busy for everybody.
Halloween weekend is particularly busy. I'll get on with it now.
You're welcome.
First up, was Red Ribbon Week. Christian's school did all the crazy dress-up themes like all the other schools do. But Friday was different. She was one of three fourth-graders in her class to be selected to walk in the school Red Ribbon parade. Each grade chose a different theme for their part in the parade. Fourth graders dressed up as famous/notable Texans. She was asked to dress as Barbara Bush.
I bought a suit off e-bay and borrowed some pearls. I found a wig at a costume shop that was the right shape, but it was dark brown. No problem, right? I had Hubs spray-paint it white. Only, it didn't turn out white. It looked more like Amadeus. So I had to figure something else out. In the end, I sewed an old pair of her white tights closed, and hot-glued unrolled cotton balls all over it.
She had so much fun, wearing that get-up to school!
Here, she's waving to her little brothers, who are bouncing up and down with excitement over seeing their big "Stister" walking in the parade. They thought she was all that and a bag of chips. And, truth be told, so did I. I was actually choked up watching her. Dumb, I know, but I'm one proud Momma.
Hubs worked so much last week, that he took the day off to join us. He chased her down for one last picture. She was so proud that her Daddy was there!
After school, it was time to get dressed for Aunt Laura's annual Halloween party. Didja hear the one about a cheerleader, a pirate and a sheriff? No? Me neither.
For all his wanting to be a pirate for the last two weeks, Cavan wanted NOTHING to do with his costume. But did I spend all that time, energy and money putting together his costume, only to let him go in jeans? Why no, no I did not.
We dubbed him, "Pirate McAngrypants."
Laura's party always starts with pictures.
I just love the little vignette she came up with! It makes even my kids look sweet and wholesome and innocent.
We never got the "money" shot, but we got a few cute ones.
My friend Nikki and her little guy Eli came this year. He was supposed to be a "Yeehaw," which translates to a cowboy in toddler-speak. But he had Cavan's attitude, and didn't want to put on his costume. Nikki is much nicer than I, and didn't force him. I did, however, receive a text and picture from her, saying they decided on a Texas Ranger... and I must say, he's the cutest little Texas Ranger I ever laid my eyes on!
We ate a bunch of food... Cavan ate a bunch of "pops,"... we visited and enjoyed a bonfire... and went home to crash.
Saturday evening, the kids donned their costumes again, for our town's 16th annual Scare on the Square. Kids trick-or-treat along the town square, and play games, go on hayrides, eat lots of junk, enter costume contests, and then sprawl on blankets and watch a movie projected on an exterior wall of one of the local businesses. It is so much fun. Especially the movie. We bought hot chocolate and popcorn and wrapped up tight, trying to stay warm.
Christian and Cullen are speed-walking to the square, despite our calls to wait for the rest of the family! There is CANDY to be had!!!
We stopped at the Library's table, where they had a lantern set atop a quilt. A high-school student read the Halloween book, "Hampire," to Cavvie, while he ate the candy they gave him.
Our sheriff always has a candy booth. He has a bowl of candy with a hand in it, and when the kids reach in for the candy, the hand clamps down.
Cullen got a kick out of watching others reach in...
But WOULD. NOT. reach in himself!
We bailed a little early on the outdoor movie. We were tired, cold and hungry... and Cullen had spilled an entire cup of hot chocolate on one of the quilts. So we ordered pizza and ate it while we watched "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," in the comfort of our jammies and warm living room. With the lights dimmed for effect. So it was all good. We still snuggled under blankets and got "all toesy," which is one of Cavvie's favorite things. He loves getting all toesy. Or, cozy, for those of you who do not speak toddlerese.
The Big Day finally arrived. Halloween. The night when children all over our great nation run from door to door and house to house, mindlessly grabbing as much candy as their treat bags will hold.
We started next door to the house we sold earlier this year. Which was one county over.
It's not often that you get your picture taken while trick-or-treating. At least by the person opening the door! Karon gave them suckers that are kind of a cross between ring pops and wax lips. They're ring pop-shaped lollies on one side, and the other has a crazy looking mouth. They were fun.
Next up, was my parents' house, another county over. Christian is SO. EXCITED. She's been wanting to go see them for a while.
They got the stuff from "the good bowl!" And even though it came from my parents, I still must do my own parental duty and thoroughly check those Whoppers, Snickers and Twix. Which sometimes includes a taste test. I'm not one to shirk my parental duties.
Grandma and I took the kids trick-or-treating in their neighborhood.
And this little guy got lazy REAL QUICK. He suckered Grandma into carrying him ALL NIGHT. She got a workout, I'll say that! He'd walk down the sidewalk to her, and jump into her arms, whether she was ready or not!
See that face? He knows EXACTLY what he's doing. Little con artist.
Then this little beauty queen showed up.
Along with the Red Power Ranger. He's really filled out since I saw him last.
They played and ate junk and enjoyed each other. And then we made them sit together for a picture. Cuties, every last one of them.
But, as all good things do, the night came to an end. We loaded up and headed home... which was FOUR counties away. I didn't realize that until we were on our way home. We drove four counties to take our kids trick-or-treating.
But we had fun, and that's all that matters.

While I was working on my social network project, I came across one issue:
When there was no internet it was hard to write the code.
For my social network, instead of coding it locally on the Raspberry Pi, I chose to do the majority of my coding on a freemium type site called Cloud9IDE (www.c9.io) and later deployed to Heroku(www.heroku.com). The solution was excellent, since Rails was slow and buggy on the Pi .
Sometimes, I need access to my code at a family members house and they don't have a modern internet connection(That is another story for another time). Anyway, my iPad isn't much help without wifi and neither is my Pi in this case.
Using a few things I already have around the house plus some things from Adafruit, Raspberry Pi Swag Shop, ModMyPi and the local home hardware store, I think for less then $100 I can put together a computer that is capable of running Python, Ruby, Rails, C, C++ , HTML5 and a few other languages using a Pi.
When I get this done a tutorial will be posted.

In brief: Chiefs select Czech Republic's Rimmel in import draft
Thu., June 28, 2012
Junior hockey: The Spokane Chiefs picked Mikulas Rimmel with the 41st overall selection in Wednesday's Canadian Hockey League import draft.
Rimmel, a 17-year-old forward from the Czech Republic, scored 11 goals and had 29 points in 38 games last season for his under-18 team last season.
"He is a young player and will have the chance to develop with our organization," Chiefs general manager Tim Speltz said.
Four of the Chiefs' last six import picks have played three seasons in the Western Hockey League.
The Chiefs also released their 2012-13 regular season schedule. They will play 26 of their 36 home games on the weekend, including 15 Saturday night games.
The season opens on Sept. 22 at Tri-City, and Spokane's home opener is on Sept. 29, when the Americans visit the Arena.
Tickets for individual games will go on sale to the public on Sept. 6. Ticket packages are on sale now at the Chiefs office.

This approach is creative to boot, who can resist such a cute idea?
Velvety Pumpkin StewServes: 6 Prep Time: 30 min Total Time: 3 hrs
Cook's Note: This meal is a gluten-free option.
Adapted from Janice Schatzinger (originally transcribed Oct 2011), variations by Rachel Rose on Nov 2014.
Gluten-Free Option
2 tbsp butter
2 lbs Stew Meat
2 cans of 14 oz Stewed Tomatoes with Italian Seasonings, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 carrots, sliced and/or chopped
1 large onion, finely diced
4-5 Russet Potatoes, diced (I also like to sub in a sweet potato or yam)
1 Bellpepper, diced (sometimes I omit)
3 cups Beef Broth
1 large (10-12 lbs) Pumpkin, able to fit in your oven
2 tbsp olive oil for glazing pumpkin
1 tsp salt, or to your taste
1/2 tsp pepper
How To:
1) Over medium heat in a stock pot or dutch oven, add butter. Once butter melts, add stew meat. Brown meat for about 5-10 minutes. Add tomatoes, bay leaves, carrots, onion, potatoes, bellpepper, and beef broth. Stir to incorporate everything. Cover with a lid and drop heat to medium-low. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until everything is tender. Add salt and pepper.
2) Prep Pumpkin. Slice at an angle, creating a large enough hole to pour stew into. Remove seeds and pulp. Set Seeds aside for roasting.
3) Heat oven to 325º F. While stew is simmering, set prepped pumpkin on a cooking sheet. Brush olive oil on to pumpkin.
4) Pour stew into prepped pumpkin, place the pumpkin lid back in. Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes.
5) Carefully remove from oven and taste for seasoning before serving.
Serving Options:
Serve with homemade bread and butter. The Pumpkin serves as a great center piece to impress your guests!
Pumpkin Seeds:
1) Boil for 10 minutes. Strain, keep in colander, and add 2 tbsp butter to coat.
2) Spread out on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Sprinkle liberally with salt.
3) Roast at 325º F on the middle rack for 40 minutes or until crunchy. Stir every ten minutes, add more salt if needed.
4) Remove from oven, let cool before serving.
Thanks Lindsey!

One of the many highlights from Julia Holter's latest auteur-pop treasure Have You In My Wilderness is the gently unassuming, quietly building "Silhouette." That track now has a video to go along with it, directed by Rick Bahto, featuring Holter listlessly hanging out at home, a fair bit of the titular silhouettes, and some venetian blinds. It's an elegantly unfussy video, much like the song it accompanies.

Veronica Roth always has some magic to make me not to put her book down. Next installment after Divergent and I'm totally hook up. The adventure and thrill is getting heavier. Another point that I like in this book is the arguments between Tris and Four. Must read book!
