Today, in SPJ (of course), we learned about the Freedom of Information Act and how it relates to journalists. I basically peed myself the whole time. Media Law does that to me. After I peed myself listening to Aimee Edmondson and her explanation of the Sunshine Laws, I continued to ruin my Bailey jeans (from Delia*s) when the president of SPJ told us the organization was going to focus on this law for basically the rest of the school year.
OH.
MY.
GOD.

This is why I joined the club. It was a little so-so at first but I know it is going to be SO WORTH IT now. And let me tell you why.

Basically, SPJ found out about 4 years ago that Ohio University does not follow the state's Open Records Law. At all. And now the big bobcat cheese's are bitching about having to follow this law.

SPJ isn't having any of this. We are going to...I'm not sure yet. But we are going to do something about this, and I am going to love every second of it.

It. Is. ON!!!!!!!!

(I am so bad at proper grammar in this.)Melishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-37183962134775813472009-02-10T00:34:00.009-05:002009-02-10T00:59:40.734-05:00A College student doesn't have any money??? How captivating!I really need a job.

One thing that excited me about coming to college in Fall 2008 was the prospect of not having a part-time job while being a student. I decided that my first quarter of college would be a time for me to accommodate to my new surroundings and adjust to a heavier workload than I could ever imagine. (At least according to my 11th AP Government teacher, who everyday told the class how "freaking" hard college was and scared me to the point where I didn't want to pursue a higher education for a while.) I also thought I deserved a much needed vacation from working. I've had a part-time job since I was 15, sacrificing precious after school activities that wealthy parents force their children into because "school and getting good grades is their job." Totally the opposite view in my household. At my house, I didn't HAVE to get a job, but if I wanted something that wasn't vital to my survival, and that includes a car and the expenses associated with it, I needed to find a way to pay for it myself.

So I've had a job for a while. I was working almost full-time over the summer, in fact. However, I decided to use fall quarter -- and the two weeks prior to that, since I took my leave of absence early -- to just focus on school. And I did. I was overwhelmed the first 7 weeks or so of college, only getting used to the workload towards the end. The break was a smart decision for me.

Now comes 2009.

I decide I'm ready to handle a job at college. I don't want anything major; 10 hours a week, food service orientated since I have a crap ton of expierence there. But after looking at multiple places my first week back, I realize that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A JOB IN ATHENS, OHIO.

Seriously, it is tougher than I ever imagined, and it has nothing to do with the economy! Back home, I could walk into almost any restaurant-type place and get an interview right away. Here, they want resumes. Resumes for working at a nonskilled job! It's crazy!

Want to hear how bad my search has been going? I couldn't get a job at Jeff. That's right, I fail so much that THE DINING HALL DOESN'T EVEN WANT ME.

After that, I've momentarily paused my search to wait for some places to start hiring. I've made a resume and am trying to make my spring schedule more flexible than my winter schedule, w (I'm not available until after 5 pm on weekdays.) Hopefully, I will have better luck. Until then, bitching on the internet, while earning Blogger money, is the closest action I can get to a paycheck.

Well, except selling myself on Ebay.

That's Plan C.Melishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-79527937448241421762009-02-04T12:44:00.002-05:002009-02-04T12:51:05.501-05:00Because I know the anticipation was killing youAfter re-examining my blog and reading some past posts I've posted, I noticed something: I have yet to mention Barack Obama. Oh, I have definitely mentioned the election, but nObama.
From what I've read so far on the internet, it seems like one cannot run a blog without occasionally (or more like constantly) mentioning or hinting at their political opinions. In order to officially establish myself as a serious blogger, I believe my opinion on the president of the United States of America -- the country where I reside -- should be known. Ladies and gentlemen of the internet, I present you with my opinion on Barack Obama:

He's pretty hot.

Not sexy like some may think, but he's definitely up on there on the hotness scale.

I give him a 7 out of 10.Melishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-38996644232269628522009-02-01T01:20:00.003-05:002009-02-01T01:42:03.715-05:00Well, wellI know, I know, it's been awhile. You probably thought I had given up on blogging for good, haven't you? Well, you were kind of right.

First off, I completely forgot that I ever even wrote in a blog until about the 2nd week back from winter intersession. Secondly, when I did realize I had forgotten about the blog, I didn't care. Bob Stewart wasn't around anymore to scare me into writing a blog for the sake of my future career so I just did not care. However, Paul Matson instead stepped in.

About two weeks ago, I dashed out of Vico 140 to Scripps 111 for my consistently entertaining and informative weekly meeting of SPJ. This was the first "workshop" meeting I've ever attended, and I must say, it was fairly badass. This Matson guy, though still a student, knew his shit. And his shit was social media. (Or is it Social Media? Apparently capitalization is a big deal when referring to this stuff.) Anyway, he came in and talked about the Internet and what to do on it. Two of these "s(S)ocial m(M)edia" stood out to me: LinkedIn -- the professional version of Facebook -- and RSS.

I have still yet to make a profile on LinkedIn (let me make a resume first), but I finally got the hang on RSS feeds. Which I now declare be called SS feeds because once Paul Matson told me how to do it, it was easy. But I tried it once about a year ago on my own and I was CLUELESS. So it's not really simple; just simple.

But anyway, turns out Blogspot automatically puts the blogs I follow on my subscriptions list. So as I was building my S(s)ocial M(m)edia reputation, I was constantly reminded of my unupdated and uncared for blog.

So basically, Google Reader guilted me into coming back to the blog.

I'm ba-ack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Melishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-12898284012648036082008-11-09T21:55:00.003-05:002008-11-09T22:00:07.369-05:00Just a heads upYou're probably not going to be seeing anything new from me for a while. It's finals week and I'm actually going to concentrate on school and study! Amazing! (Not really; I'm a huge nerd and study all the time anyway.) Then it's winter intersession where I'm working, volunteering, designing for Athena and probably doing some service work for SPJ.

I know, you're devastated. I'll probably be back sometime around January 5th so try not to overdoes on Prozac while I'm gone.Melishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-75456469603902569452008-11-02T19:06:00.005-05:002008-11-02T21:28:03.591-05:00The real deal inside Halloween at OUAhh, time to sit back, relax and reflect on the absolutely out-of-control/wild/life changing/if I only I could remember it all weekend that is the infamous Ohio University Halloween weekend.

Not.

Well, I'm relaxing and reflecting, but not on the craziness of the weekend. Sure, Court Street was crowded. Sure, girls were pretty much naked in the streets. Sure, there was booze readily available every 500 feet. But that doesn't automatically equal greatest night ever, not at all.

Don't think I didn't have a good time -- I did -- but there are some things no one told me about this weekend that I believe many people should be aware of:

Not matter what the actual temperature outside is, no matter how insulated your costume is, no matter how many people radiating body heat in close proximity to you there are, you will be cold. And cold = miserable.

There is a significant portion of people on Court Street who are not dressed up and old and probably drunk who spend their night watching the college students and their friends. CREEPY.

Though alcohol is abundant, you will be reluctant to drink due to the mass numbers of cops patrolling, and because of that one story you hear about that one person you kind of know getting in trouble, and for fear that the super anal RA of your dorm will be the one watching the door at the exact time you decide to head back.

And apparently, unless you see about 18 other people with your costume, no one will have any clue who you are even though you were an incredibly famous and fairly recent cartoon character relevant to the age group you are surrounded by, with obvious similiarities as demonstrated by the costume!!!!

But really, I had fun.

Really.Melishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-42868291758311734182008-10-27T22:30:00.004-04:002008-10-27T23:12:13.151-04:00I feel like a listMelis' list of top 5 movies (so far):

5. The Dark Knight/Spider-Man
Duh.

4. Mulan
Do NOT give me shit for this because I know this movie almost line-by-line and I can almost line-by-line describe to you the awesomness of this movie. This is the one Disney movie where the heroine doesn't need to rely on a man for shit and even kicks his ass a little. What a great movie to show to little girls to prevent self-esteem issues, and to little boys to give them some. Plus people (more specifically evil Huns that have come to invade China) actually get blown up in this movie, making it by far way more violent that Mufasa getting trampled to death or Bambi's mom getting shot.

3. Donnie Darko
I don't quite fully understand this movie, but that's what makes it so amazing. You're just so intrigued with what is going on and it's not TOO confusing to the point where it's just frustrating. The movie's greatness is only heightened when coupled with my also #3 favorite song, "Mad World" by Gary Jules. This song is the Cinnamon-Honey flavored cream cheese from the Dining Halls to the toasted Plain Bagel also served in the Dining Halls. What I'm saying is that they go together perfectly. What I mean is they fit nicely to one another, I'm trying to tell you that the song and movie are meant for each other, etc.

2. Garden State
Great romantic movie. Great not only because of Zach Braff and Natalie Portman (love them!), but because the love the protagonists have for each other is REAL. Well, I know it's not real because it's a movie, but the love is more realistic than any other romantic movie I've seen. There's no social force forbidding their love, no oh-so-lucky coincidence/fate that brings them together after a separation; it's just real. They meet, they fall in love, they presumably stay together forever. There isn't much challenge in the way of their love but it's still an excellent movie that nevertheless keeps me interested every time I watch it.

1. Back to the Future
This is probably the most random and unexpected movie I could've picked for my number one. I usually don't care much for old movies, and pretty much hate sci-fi movies. But Back to the Future just has IT. It - the special somethingorwhatever that makes a movie the best ever - it's the it that makes me like it even though I usually don't like movies like it.

Alright, I confess: it means Michael J. Fox.

I mean besides the irregularity of updates and lack of awesome graphics. My blog entries are short.

Whenever I visit fellow J-schoolers slash successful blogs, I notice at least one trend of them all: they're super long. Yes, super. Even the most interesting entries get boring after 8 long paragraphs. This is why I love journalism so much: you don't need to read the whole thing, or listen, or watch or whatever. You can read about half a page, listen to about 20 seconds of TV, and you pretty much got all you need to get from that story. If you need to know more, they will tell you later. The introverted pyramid is genius. Whoever says advanced technology is behind the populations A.D.D. is completely off because journalists have realized this has existed for many, many years.

I'll make brevity my signature, the most stand out characteristic of my blog, and appeal to Ritalin users worldwide! (Or at least ones that can read U.S. English.)Melishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-73690705525486915002008-10-17T17:42:00.003-04:002008-10-18T13:26:01.112-04:00It's sad to see someone getting her sole entertainment from a textbook...When I bridged from high school to college, I expected many differences in receiving my education, including the times I went to class and more career-training focus I would have in my education. What I did not expect was for my textbooks to ROCK HARD. And when I mean textbook, I really mean textbook. Not some American literature classic for English 152 or something. This is an actual textbook. It's called Mass Communication: Living in a Media World by Ralph E. Hanson. This is book is for my Journalism 101 class. I know there are some (many...well I'll be honest here: vast majority) of my classmates who would criticize the class, but the book for it is amazing.

So far in this book I have learned the Beatles did admit their songs referenced drugs, viewers of The Daily Show are better education in politics and overall than O'Reilly Factor viewers, Joseph Pulitzer did more than start the Spanish-American war, and probably the best information I have received yet: Lost is available for free on the internet!!!!! Hanson agrees, Lost is the best TV show on right now (or at least at the time of the publishing of the 2nd edition of his book) and you can see every episode ever aired here. This is great for me because I'm behind a season, and with this website I won't be anymore! I can watch every episode of season 4 and be able to watch the new episodes of season 5 when they come out "early 2009." This is great, screw studying!!

Also, He calls me "Rerun." *swoons*Melishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-68451038411638903952008-10-15T19:42:00.002-04:002008-10-15T19:58:56.675-04:00Everything you already know, and then someI saw Joe Biden speak today.

Bet you're expecting me to do an in depth analysis of the messages, hidden and obvious, he transmitted to the audience, right? Well, it's not going to happen because I don't feel like doing that. Mostly because you already know what I would say to that.

Seriously, the speech was nothing new; John McCain sucks, Barack Obama rules, yay! That was about it. Not to say it was boring; it wasn't. My blood was pumping throughout his speech -- Biden knows how to rally a crowd. I guess I'm just getting bored of the election. Honestly, I have been hearing about it for what, a year and a half? This is old news. I'm fairly certain Obama will win because of California and New York, and the fact that the present President is Republican and pretty much universally hated.

One interesting note though, while he talked extensively about Obama and his positions on the economy and veteran care, Biden made no mention on the War in Iraq. Hmmm.... What do I know though, I'm only a first quarter freshman. Athens citizens may be for the war, we ARE in Appalachia after all.Melishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-1204669321048906922008-10-06T19:22:00.012-04:002008-10-08T00:27:53.520-04:00SNL and le françaisI realize this blog is still pretty pathetic, bear with me.

Anyway, let's talk politics.
I was recently sent a link to this clip from CNN about Sarah Palin and the SNL parody of her. I didn't think much of the newscast, but the comments about the clip are what surprised me. Oh Jeez! Some of those comments have to be fake, MOST of those comments should be fake. I'm not talking about all the stuff against Obama or all the things said about McCain, but everything. The stuff these people claim...Obama on crack?? (And this example does not make me biased, it's the only specific one I can remember right now.) It's so outlandish there is no way there can be any truth. I really hope these people aren't voting. It's calle EDUCATION. Get some. Hahaha inuendos.

And for some international flavor, my new french vocabulary is so ironically appropriate. It's not even on purpose either. Some sample words are: la pauvreté, un marché boursier, la crise économique, la banqueroute, le chômage and avoir des dettes. In English, my vocabulary is: poverty, stock market, economic crisis, bankruptcy, unemployment and to be in debt Love it! The irony, I mean, not the current state of our nation's economy, that sucks.Melishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-50965290989218920372008-09-18T18:46:00.006-04:002008-09-18T19:09:57.150-04:00Writing not coming so easilyI went to my first Speakeasy meeting on Monday. Speakeasy is OU's online magazine with an alternative, underground vibe. Most of the editorial staff wears thick rimmed glasses and there are almost more blogs on the website than articles.

I was one of the two people who signed up to be a copy editor and was also placed in the "Behind the Scenes" section of the site. As a reporter for this section, I have to bring three story ideas to the next meeting on Monday. And thus far, I have none.

See, Behind the Scenes is divided into four subsections. One of them is Religion and Spirituality. No story idea for this section will be magically (or miraculously) popping into my brain anytime soon. I know pretty much nothing about any religion. I went to church maybe twice in my life, and all I remember about it was there was a lot of repeated standing and sitting. Not my ideal way to spend a Sunday morning, or Saturday evening, whatever sabbath day. In writing an religious story, it will have to involve me deeply investigating what spirituality is associated with the article in addition to researching the actual article. More work than necessary, I will save that section for people who know what they're writing about.

Two other subsections of Behind the Scenes are People and Places. If my story ideas involve either of these, it's going to be an especially difficult challenge. I am a freshman, I barely know the scenes, let alone behind them. Finding people who everyone else on campus doesn't already know, or places that are not on Court Street will be harder than any investigative report for me.

I'm not even going to go into detail about the last subsection, Spotlight. Even after reading the articles and blogs contained in it, I am still clueless as to even what constitutes as an appropriate story for that subsection.

Anyway.

That's my college life so far.

Enjoy.Melishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950302567538259689.post-47005270717718171462008-09-12T19:18:00.000-04:002008-09-12T19:18:00.671-04:00Peer PressureAfter taking my first self-guided tour as a new Ohio University bobcat, I noticed something unique about the campus. It wasn't the picturesque red brick buildings or the ridiculous leg toning hills - I already figured that out my tour here as a junior in high school.

It was the advertisers.

Or at least that's what I call them.

They would probably consider themselves public servants, but their annoyance level is par with any storm of internet pop up ads. Fellow students know what I'm talking (or rather, blogging) about.

It's those people who rush up to you when you're with your friends or on your cell phone, the ones with a clipboard and pen in their hand shouting, "Are you registered to vote?! Have you registered to vote yet? Huh? Huh?!?!?"

My god.

Okay, I KNOW it's my civic duty as an American citizen to vote, I KNOW this election is going into the history books, but seriously, you only need to register once. ONCE. In your entire life. Just once. These people were at precollege too, that's where I signed up. There's only so many times you can send your recruits out on campus for so many hours a day before you start seeing and bugging the same people.

I can't even think about what it's going to be like on November 4th.
Chaos.
Pure Chaos.

Varanasi - Allahabad Tour Package
Location : Varanasi - Allahabad
Duration :5 Nights / 6 Days
Everyone has their own way of celebrating the ritual contact with the holy Ganga: some bathe; other dip themselves entirely into the water once, thrice or any number of times; some drink the water; other make water offerings to the sun; while others fill their pots with holy water to take back to their homes to perform rituals and purification. The offerings to the sacred waters vary. Pilgrims give flowers, fruits, lamps and their respectful prayers. On festival days and religious occasions the riverside is thick with their colorful bobbing up and down on the waters...
Day 1 : Varanasi
Afternoon arrival in Varanasi from Delhi/Haridwar by train. Watch evening arati (Hindu ritual) at the Ganges Stay at Hotel, or option to stay in a riverside guesthouse.
The Kashi Vishwanath Temple - Also known as the Golden Temple, it is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the presiding deity of the city. Varanasi is said to be the point at which the first jyotirlinga, the fiery pillar of light by which Shiva manifested his supremacy over other gods, broke through the earth's crust and flared towards the heavens. More than the Ghats and even the Ganga, the Shivalinga installed in the temple remains the devotional focus of Varanasi. Entry restricted for foreigners.
Day 2 : Varanasi
Opportunities for a dawn boat ride on the river, to observe the devotions to Surya, the rising sun. Afternoon visit to nearby Sarnath, where the Buddha began his teachings 2500 years ago. Overnight stay at Hotel.
Day 3 : Varanasi
Morning for sightseeing in Varanasi. Afternoon free for relaxation and boat ride. Overnight stay at Hotel.
Day 4 : Varanasi - Allahabad (122 Km / 4 Hours)
Morning drive to Allahabad to see the Sangam (Meeting point) of the three rivers - Ganga, Yamuna & Saraswati. Here the Maha Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years which is a major Hindu festival. Overnight stay at Hotel.
Sangam - Around 7 km from Civil Lines, overlooked by the eastern ramparts of the fort, wide flood plains and muddy banks protrude towards the sacred Sangam. At the point at which the brown Ganges meets the Greenish Yamuna, pandas (priests) perch on small platforms to perform puja and assist the devout in their ritual ablutions in the shallow waters. Beaches and ghats are littered with the shorn hair of pilgrims who come to offer pind for their deceased parents.
Day 5 : Allahabad
Day at Allahabad. Morning enjoy the Holy dip at the Sangam. Later, reach the point on a boat, half day sightseeing. Overnight stay at Hotel.
Day 6 : Allahabad - Delhi
Morning free. Later board Prayagraj Express Train back to Delhi. Night on Train.

Hyderabad: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Andhra Pradesh Police has launched investigation into the Satyam Computer scandal after the state government finally gave the go-ahead.
Director General of Police S S P Yadav will personally supervise the investigation, highly-placed police sources said.
The DGP held a meeting with CID Additional Director General A. Sivanarayana, Inspector General (Economic Offences Wing) V.S.K. Kaumudi and other senior officials and reviewed the Satyam case.
Thereafter, the DGP discussed the case with state Chief Secretary P. Ramakanth Reddy and reportedly sought directions on proceeding against Satyam ex-chairman B. Ramalinga Raju. Emerging out of the meeting with the Chief Secretary, the DGP declined to comment.
"Whatever you may ask, I shall not speak anything," he said.
Meanwhile, police sources said that there was no likelihood of the arrest of Ramalinga Raju.
"His so-called confessional statement written to the Sebi cannot form an evidence. It doesn't stand legal scrutiny," a top official said.
"Unless the Sebi completed its investigations and filed a complaint, the police could not act on their own," the official added.
Sebi team goes to Raju's house; finds it locked
Hyderabad: A Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) team probing a financial fraud in Satyam Computer reached founder Ramaling Raju's house here, but returned as the premises was locked.
Sources said that the team, was also expected to go to Satyam headquarters again, and a notice has been issued from SEBI's Mumbai office asking Raju to appear before it.
The Sebi team had first gone to Satyam office here yesterday in connection with a probe ordered by the market regulator a day before.
The probe follows Satyam's founder and chairman Ramalinga Raju disclosing on Wednesday financial irregularities to the tune of about Rs7,800 crore at the company, after which he resigned.
There have been speculations about the whereabouts of Raju, but his lawyer yesterday said that Satyam founder was very much in Hyderabad. There are also speculations that Raju might be at a guesthouse on the outskirts of the city.

Belly Breathing
April 2, 2008 · Print This Article
1. Lie down on your bed or on the floor. Get as comfortable as you'd like to be without falling asleep (of course, it's okay if you do).
2. Place your hands on your sides with your fingers over your stomach close to your navel.
3. Breathe into your belly. Feel the front and sides of your stomach actually rising as you breathe in.
4. Breathe out completely. Exhale all the air from your lungs, as much as you possibly can.
5. Continue breathing in deep and exhaling long for as long as you'd like. I recommend 1-2 minutes to start and gradually build up to 5 minutes of deep breathing.

Wedding woes: guests paying for food
Here's today's wedding woe from reader Linda, who asks:
"Hi Greer
I am getting married probably early January. The question I have for yourself and other brides out there is - is it acceptable to ask your guests to pay for their food at the reception if you are having a reception in a restaurant?
Thanks very much and thanks for the blog, which I have just discovered. I'm going to go through and read all of the titles and comments."
Hey Linda.
First up - exxxccceelllent question.
Whenever I come across a question about whether or not something is "acceptable", I put myself in a guest position rather than that of a bride.
So in this instance, if I was a guest to someone's wedding, and an invite arrived saying that a reception was at a restaurant and in lieu of gifts I had to pay for my meal, I'd be more than happy to do so. Beware though - some people see this very differently to me.
If you look at it from a monetary perspective, it's no different really. The price of a nice meal at a restaurant is pretty much even with the cost of gift anyway so claiming it's expensive for guests isn't really the best reason not to do it.
But there are a few logistical things to contemplate.
For example, when do guests pay for their meals? Do you really want to (potentially) panic and leave it up to each guest to pay for their own before the leave for the night?
Or does the restaurant want pre-orders in the sense of a set menu for a certain price? You could always set up a bank account so when people RSVP they do so by placing the agreed amount per person into that account.
I think there are another couple of things to consider as well:
- Ensure all guests are aware of this setup. Nothing worse than springing a cost on people who a) may have already spent a bit of money to attend the wedding and/or b) are in a large-ish family group (e.g. parents and kids) where a night out is actually a rather large expense.
- Timing. Make sure people have enough time to plan for it. A week's notice may mean some literally can't scrape enough to attend.
- Do not, whatever you do, expect gifts on top of them paying for the meal. Sure, some may do both, but don't expect any.
- How are you going to word this to guests? Make sure if you are going to put it on the invite, to make it sound, er... anything but tacky! You are well within your "rights" to inform guests that this is the way things are going (it is, after all, your wedding), but there are still nicer ways of putting things. Also you could consider calling each guest to explain the setup - rather than having it in words.
- Expect people, especially the frugal among us, to say they'd like to come but not have dinner. How will you deal with these situations?
- As a supplementary issue: what do you do with people who attend, drink and don't eat (as above). Is that responsible hosting? How will you deal with any issues that arise from this?
- Is subsidising an option? You could always consider subsidising the meals to make it seem like less of an expense on guests. I know of one wedding where guests were asked to pay $35 each to attend.
- Consider having a catered reception within your budget? If the cost of food is stressing you out, why not re-look at your wedding budget and instead opt to have a relaxed BBQ or picnic reception that won't cost as much? Also what about a lunch time or afternoon tea wedding where only finger-food is provided? It's totally the rage at the moment.
- Ensure you tell guests what *is* provided. Are they to pay for booze as well? What happens after dinner - is there entertainment? Does everyone just leave after pudding? Some guests may be confused by the whole "pay your own way" thing so I think it's important to explain to them the running of events that day.
One thing's for certain, it would certainly prevent any guests from coming along just for some free booze and a feed (and yes, those guests do exist!).
Did you or will you be asking your guests to may for their meals? How do you feel as a guest if this was the case? Any helpful advice for Linda?

Re "Attacks on Christian Right Amount to Bigotry" by Jendi Reiter (letter, July 27): There is a difference between pledging allegiance to the "Christian flag" and pledging allegiance to "one nation indivisible under God."

Running Lessons: Food as fuel for body and soul
Phew! It's been a busy couple of weeks. With Christmas concerts, dinners with family and friends, shopping for and wrapping gifts, finishing two more Christmas stockings (this time for my sister and her husband) and occasional runs, the days have been full. Still, I managed to squeeze in a little reading by the fire and, while a winter storm rages outside today, hope to catch up on blogging, email and a bit of volunteer work.
A few days ago, I finally finished Scott Jurek's Eat & Run (highly recommended). What an amazing athlete he is! Among his many other accomplishments, he's won the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run seven times, including in 2005 when he went on two weeks later to win the Badwater Ultramarathon (135 miles). Like many long distance runners, he says ultra-marathoning is about much more than talent and good training. It's about mental discipline, spiritual development, and a desire to win as well. It's also about fueling with good food. He himself follows a strict vegan diet for environmental and health reasons and he makes some pretty persuasive arguments that diet has been key to his success as a distance runner. It's making me think even harder about my own dietary choices.
Husband and I stuck to a pretty strict vegetarian for a number of years before falling off the wagon when I got into running marathons and decided I needed more meat protein in my diet. Over the past few years, we've tended to eat meat 2-3 times per week but have tried to eat locally raised, organic meats as much as possible. During the past few months, we've begun transitioning back to a more vegetarian diet and haven't missed meat very much, but it's hard to imagine giving up animal-based protein all together. We both like eggs and cheese too much! But perhaps we'll try a few of Jurek's vegan recipes and see if they taste as good as he says they do.
The other thing about Jurek's book is that it got me thinking about my running - specifically, what my running goals are for the coming year. I'm struggling a bit with what's "reasonable" given my other commitments. I've also put a few pounds in recent months (a good thing since I was too thin) and haven't been doing any tough training, so it's hard to imagine gearing up for another marathon. On the other hand, it's also hard to imagine not running a couple of long races in 2013. Despite (or maybe because of) our ambitious renovation plans, Husband is encouraging me to get back into more serious training, and there are quite a few races that interest me, including the Bluenose Marathon and Cabot Trail Relay in May, the new ultra in Cape Breton in August, and the Okanagan Marathon and Cape to Cabot 20k in October.
Still, as I sit by the fire writing and sipping eggnog, I find myself wondering if I have what it will take to train for and run even one or two of those races. My body's been mighty cranky lately and I've not been sleeping well so running often feels more difficult than it used to. Maybe it's time to think about slowing down a bit.
On the other hand, I ran a terrific 10k two weeks ago (at less than a 6:00/km pace which is relatively quick for me) and felt pretty darn good running a 12k LSR with my friend David the next day. Then, last Sunday, despite damp cool biting winds and a little too much wine the night before, I completed a solid 14k LSR through Shubie Park and genuinely enjoyed most of it - especially, running through the off-leash area of the park - where dozens of dogs and their human companions celebrated the festive season by frolicking on the shores of the lake, cheerfully barking and calling out Merry Christmas to those they met on the trails.
So maybe I'm just suffering from a case of the running blahs brought on by too much socializing, too much sitting on my butt, and too much rich food. After all, our diet these past two weeks has included lobster, scallops, roast turkey, roast goose, roast lamb, Acadian pork and chicken pie, baked brie and large numbers of cookies and pies. Though all that delicious holiday food has been good for my soul, it's not been especially good for my body. Perhaps, if I draw up a good training plan, get back to doing yoga regularly, clean up my diet and register for race or two, I'll feel energetic enough to train through the next few months of cold, snowy weather.
But not today. At the rate the snow is still falling, it will likely be sometime tomorrow before before I make it out for a long slow 16-17 kms.
Don't get me wrong, I love running on snowy winter days. So long as I'm wearing my long wool socks to keep my feet and legs toasty, a warm gaiter and mitts, a good hat and one of my favourite Smartwool shirts, I'm happy to run in just about anything. However, until the snow stops and the plows have been through, it would be foolhardy to run along the shoulder of the highway into town.
So, dear readers, what races do you plan to run in 2013? Do you like winter running? What are your tricks for staying warm and dry when temperatures plunge? Would you consider giving up animal-based food if you thought it would improve your running performance?

Another award! How nice.
So one of my favourite bloggers, the Blonde, nominated me for the Liebster Blog award a couple of days ago. I'm very honoured to have made it to her favourite blogger list once again and pleased to pay it forward by nominating five of my own favourite bloggers as recipients of the award: Keith, Janet, Jay, Brent and Beth.
According to the Blonde, Liebster Blog award recipients should share 5 random facts about themselves and answer 5 questions.
5 Random Fact
1. I'm a cat person. (No great surprise there if you've ever read my blog.)
2. I'd rather spend money on art than furniture.
3. The biggest drawer in my dresser is reserved for running gear.
4. I didn't start running until I was 40 but still hope to be running in 40 years' time. (A girl can dream can't she?)
5. I wear black and grey suits to work nearly every day. (I know, boring. But I hate shopping too much to do anything about it.)
1. What is your mantra or motivational quote? "Despair is a sin" or "I get to run when so many others don't."
2. What is the next big goal on your list? My next big non-running goal is to finish my novel. My running goal is to finish the Bluenose International Marathon in a personal best time.
3. What is your favourite place in the world and why? Risser's Beach because I feel more myself there than any other place on the planet.
4. What's the best way to spend a recovery day? Good question that I find hard to answer because I nearly always spend recovery days working. If I didn't have to work, I like to think I'd spend them reading, writing and cooking.
5. If you could travel and run a race anywhere, where would it be? Another tough question. There are lots of places I'd like to visit but, to run a marathon, I'd have to say New York. Or Dublin. Or maybe Edinburgh. Or Athens. sigh. Nope, I can't decide.
Now, please go check out The Blonde Runs along with these five blogs:

Book Review: Running Ransom Road
Its basic premise is relatively straightforward. Daniloff is a recovering alcoholic who decides to confront his past "one marathon at a time". His quest takes him to seven cities or town in the space of a year and a half: Boston, Burlington (Vermont), Moscow, Gill (Massachusetts), New York, Middlebury (Vermont) and Washington DC.
What I liked about book: Daniloff is a professional writer and journalist and it shows in the quality of his prose. His descriptions of the races, his past life and the city and towns he visits (especially Moscow, New York, and Washington) are entertaining, evocative and often quite moving. I also appreciated his frank, sometimes darkly funny reflections on past events. Most intriguing though were his insights into the ways running has helped him to address the issues that fueled his alcoholism.
...Over the years, I'd let myself be choked by numbers - carbs, pounds, fat grams, miles, minutes, calories, bib numbers. The sub-four had become not only a barrier to break, but a tool with which to judge myself. The digits on my Garmin, the same thing. The self-criticism that drinking first softened, but ultimately exacerbated, still echoed somewhere deep inside me. It was here in DC where I first started judging myself, feeling shame at being me, too young to realize the far-reaching implications. And it was here where I could snuff them out for good.What I didn't care for about the book: As a slow runner who takes regular walk breaks during long runs, I was a little put off by Daniloff''s assertion that he couldn't say he'd "run" a marathon if he walked any part of it. In my experience, walk breaks are an effective strategy for going the distance that in no way diminishes the achievement. Indeed, many runners have found their marathon times improved as a result of taking walk breaks. In addition, the book doesn't include much detail regarding the author's training which may be a disappointment to some readers.
In summary, I'd highly recommend this book for any "mindful runner" - by which I mean any runner for whom running represents something more than just exercise.
Incidentally, other great books for the runners on your Christmas list include:
Once a Runner by John L. Parker, Jr. According to Runner's World, the best novel about running ever written. I liked it enough to say that claim may well be true.
Born to Run by Christopher MacDougall. A highly entertaining and informative exploration of the extraordinary human capacity for distance running, it also provides fascinating insights into what motivate the most extreme ultra-runners.
Chi Running by Danny Dreyer. Highly recommended for those interested in learning techniques that can help them run with greater ease and fewer injuries.
Eat & Run by Scott Jurek. A fascinating account of the forces that came together to make Scott Jurek one of the world's great ultra-marathoners. As a bonus, the book includes a terrific selection of Scott's favourite vegan recipes.
Happy reading and running, everyone!

Running Lessons: The magic of new shoes, running with a friend and Christmas cheer
|A grey misty day on the river
Running felt hard for most of last week. With some encouragement from husband, I managed to do 5k on Tuesday but couldn't get motivated to run again until the weekend. Even then, it took Husband's gentle prodding to get me to lace up my shoes and head out the door Saturday morning.
It was a drizzly, grey day so there wasn't much worth photographing en route - though the weather made for a marvelously solitary and peaceful run. I didn't cross paths with another runner or walker the whole time I was out. And, as so often happens, once I got going I actually enjoyed myself. My new Aasics felt good and my legs had plenty of juice after a few days off. Because I was breaking in new shoes, I kept the run relatively short - returning home after only 13.5 kms - but that worked out well too since it meant I had the energy to do another 12 kms with my friend David yesterday morning.
The weather was much improved by then with bright sunshine and mild temperatures so we had a fabulous run along the river trail - laughing and talking the whole way. Later in the day, Husband and I took in our first Christmas concert of the season and picked out a Christmas tree and I made yummy veggie crepes for supper. By the time I tumbled into bed last night, I was pleasantly tired and relaxed, and woke up this morning looking forward to my next run.
Which just goes to show that sometimes all it takes to cure the running blahs is a new pair of shoes, a run with a good friend and a little Christmas cheer. Reading a good running book helps too, but more on that tomorrow.
So tell me, friends, how do you cure the running blahs?

When I got to know that the Karua Forest was going to the opened to the public as a recreation facility, my first thought was to ensure that I would take a Nairobi day tour to the facility. We were however hesitant and thought the forest would not at all be safe, or at least that he organizers of the event had a dream far fetched. How is it possible for Karura Forest to be safe I asked?
Karura Forest -Nairobi Day Tour
In my skepticism, I waited for the day and followed any news that featured the grand opening of this great forest, located in Nairobi.
Finally, at the end January 2011 was here the month that the opening was scheduled to take place. Unfortunately the opening did not take place. Little did I know that the management of the Kenya forestry service had decided to give a surprise Valentine gift to Nairobi residents! And so one week to Valentine 's Day, the press was full of adverts asking the public to visit the forest for a day tour.
The Nairobi Day Tour
I ganged up a few friends and organized a picnic. What was initially supposed to be a team of three people turned out to be a group of ten. We all would not imagine how the Karura Forest would look. The advert on the media didn't seem real. After all, none of us had visited the forest before. The forest was home to crime for as long as majority of us were born. It was therefore the reason for disbelieve. Finally we fueled our vehicles, shopped for refreshments and food ready for the grand picnic. We snaked our way through the traffic jam within the city center and within twenty to thirty minutes of driving, we were ushered in to the Karura Forest slightly past the Muthaiga round about and the famous Muthaiga Golf Club.
The warden on duty took us through the various regulations while within the forest. One is expected to pay a fee of Kshs. 100/- per person. Check out time from the forest is 6pm. Those driving can park their vehicles at the Shell and BP club for a small fee of Kshs. 100/-We make our payments and drive toward the shell BP club. The paths are well manicured a sign that some work has been taking place here oblivious of the outside world. There are directions. We all had different ideas of what we wanted to see, as for me I was interested in the seeing the water fall, I wanted to confirm that it really did exist. As for my friend Joan she wanted to confirm if the Mau Mau caves existed. Richard on the other hand was interested in the nature; he wanted to confirm if the Mau Mau really lived here during the struggle for Kenya's independence. In our quest to learn more about Karura Forest, we got lost, and took the wrong turn to BP Shell Club. We were in the middle of trees with no idea which direction to turn. Luckily, a patrol warden appeared and we happily asked for directions. Once on the right direction there was no turning back.
The Sightseeing Tour -Nariobi Day Tour
Having parked and confirmed that our vehicles were safe, we started our discovery trip into the forest, before long we come across a group of ladies who equally wanted to proof that the Karura Forest was finally a safe haven. We exchange pleasantries and enqired if the various locations highlighted on the media advert were real. Having confirmed and asked for directions, we start our discovery.
The water fall is real! It is a 50 meters long fall surrounded by a canopy of trees that provide a rejuvenating breath of fresh air. If you're one that loves nature then the Water fall is spectacular, the water look so clean you would drink from it without much care. The bridge leading you to the water fall are well constructed of wood, the paths lead you toward the fall and on to the Mau Mau Caves.
Here we felt closer to our fore fathers who were freedom fighters during the struggle for independence. The caves are of different sizes, some are underneath a tree. We walk past the caves into the paths and find a couple taking their evening jog. The grass hasn't grown much since the rainy season had not arrived but the grass was still green due to the great weather within this forest.
We finally set up our picnic and have lunch as we click our camera, photographing nature. The feeling is one we shall live with for a long time to come. We finally conclude our visit to the Karura Forest having confirmed, it is a safe Karura Forest. Another Nairobi day tour to the safe Karura Forest is guaranteed.

The Arts By Karena (1)
A Portable Work Space for Arts and Crafts: Like many artists, crafters and modelers, I do not have a permanent studio and I usually use our kitchen table as a brief work area for my arts and crafts initiatives. I was luck that a fellow teacher really useful I look into the Martial Arts Drills system. Fun Halloween actions and easy Halloween crafts for toddlers that may encourage them to develop abilities wanted for kindergarten. Like every other combat sport equivalent to tournament Judo, Kickboxing, or Olympic TKD, it's only a small portion of martial arts. If you're a developer or an architect, you need to begin with our Standard XML Schemas and the ARTS Data Models These are nice sources that will help you find out about retail and to avoid wasting useful improvement time. I'm positive youngsters will love and various adults may assume they were superior too.
I came throughout this Rainbow Crayon Cupcake Recipe the opposite day and thought it would be good for an Arts & Crafts Crayon celebration! If you've gotten a previous martial arts background, that places you better off than someone who enters with little to no previous training at all. After the crayon cupcakes are baked and cooled, they can be used through the social gathering or put into the get together favor baggage for the kids to take residence. Most people who know about martial arts are solely conversant in the standard (just like the Japanese, Okinawan or Korean styles) or the sportive styles (like Judo, boxing, or wrestling). Here are samples of crafts patterns and tasks impressed by free clip artwork You can illustrate your blog, lens or internet web page with clip artwork.
Some of us have been given the reward of darkish magic to make sure there's steadiness (Yin/Yang), to ensure there's a reasonable degree of management exercised over the darker elements of our existence, and because most people at midnight arts are amongst a number of the purest and strongest characters round who wouldn't be so easily corrupted by exposure to some of its adverse points.
Teach children about setting issues and inexperienced residing with Earth day coloring pages and sustainable crafts with an ecology theme. The construction and objective oriented nature of conventional martial arts coaching helps to offer route. Students have arrived and now we have already been by our arts workshops and are at the moment getting our inventive juices flowing in artistic expression class! I especially just like the Japanese Kokeshi doll and I assume my children will love the Angry birds. After working with Light magic and going via a number of lecturers each human and 'other', I was adequate to inherit the reward of the darkish arts from my grandparents and great grandparents.
To make senior crafts both simple and enjoyable for them, be keen to spend the time helping or ready for all of them to complete. Technique, what we additionally check with as form, is a crucial factor in martial arts coaching to stop injuring yourself. Those that I know in this scenario should avoid all martial arts as a result of it brings back the previous life. Chenille strips and beads makes this a colourful and straightforward craft to make, even for the very little youngsters. My youngsters beloved making fingerprint penguins, parrots, and flamingos when we had been studying birds. Performing crafts along with your youngster is a good way to coach them about these mammals and this article might be the proper place begin.

Felix Jones ran a 4.47 40 at current NFL mix together. His one downside is that, like McFadden, he sometimes involves a problem with fumbles. If for example the Dallas Cowboys pass on Jones once around, they could fall for the 28th selection. However, if Jones is still offered with #25, that hard for Seattle prush out a up aging Shaun Alexander's replacement. Therefore, it is my projection that Dallas will take Felix at #22, then take the very best available cornerback at #28 and have a receiver in round two or tree.

Bill Wooton, a longtime Democratic state legislator from Raleigh County, will run for state Supreme Court next year.
Wooton, who announced his candidacy Thursday, is the third person to join the race and the first putative Democrat. Supreme Court races, like all judicial elections in West Virginia, are now nonpartisan, but the two other candidates, incumbent Justice Brent Benjamin and Beth Walker, have both run as Republicans in the past.
"I'd bring integrity and ability to the job, and I have a proven record of fairness and impartiality," Wooton said in a phone interview. "I've spent a lot of my life involved in public service. I think this is the venue where I can be most effective."
Wooton said he would likely opt for the public financing option available to Supreme Court candidates. To qualify for public funding, a candidate must raise a total of $35,000 from contributions smaller than $100, all from West Virginia voters.
Qualifying candidates can then receive up to $525,000 in public funds for a contested election.
"The reason that became law in West Virginia is — to the extent it can — to remove the taint that arises when lawyers who appear before the court make contributions to judges on the court," Wooton said. "I'll probably pursue that avenue."
Benjamin has also said he will use public financing; Walker has said she will not. Benjamin famously benefited from millions of dollars in outside spending — much of it from then-Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship — when he was elected to the court in 2004.
Wooton served in the state Senate in the 1990s, serving as chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee for 10 years.
Prior to that, he had two stints in the House of Delegates, serving for more than 20 years in the 1970s and 1980s, including a stretch as House majority leader.
He served one more term in the House of Delegates in 2008, before losing elections in 2010 and 2012.
Wooten also clerked for Judge John Field on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, worked in the state attorney general's office and was an assistant prosecutor in Raleigh County. He is a retired colonel in the West Virginia Army National Guard.
Wooton is currently in private practice in Beckley, with the law firm Wooton & Wooton.

Have now ordered 2 pairs of glasses from them now and I can't fault them at all.
Their customer service is great - they replied to the questions I had about my order within half an hour and were really helpful.
The actually delivery of my glasses was really quick - less than 48 hours and I'm so impressed with the value of them - a pair of glasses for £87 worth £130 in the shops!
Would definitely recommend them to anyone, they do a great deal and a fantastic service.

About the authorJ.G.Farrell (1935–1979) was born with a caul, long considered a sign of good fortune. Academically and athletically gifted, Farrell grew up in England and Ireland. In 1956, during his first term at Oxford, he suffered what seemed a minor injury on the rugby pitch. Within days, however, he was diagnosed with polio, which nearly killed him and left him permanently weakened. Farrell's early novels, which include The Lung and A Girl in the Head,have been overshadowed by his Empire Trilogy—Troubles, the Booker Prize–winning Siege of Krishnapur, and The Singapore Grip (all three are published by NYRB Classics). In early 1979, Farrell bought a farmhouse in Bantry Bay on the Irish coast. "I've been trying to write," he admitted, "but there are so many competing interests–the prime one at the moment is fishing off the rocks… . Then a colony of bees has come to live above my back door and I'm thinking of turning them into my feudal retainers." On August 11, Farrell was hit by a wave while fishing and was washed out to sea. His body was found a month later. A biography of J.G. Farrell, J.G. Farrell: The Making of a Writerby Lavinia Greacen, was published by Bloomsbury in 1999.
John Banville was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1945. He is the author of many novels, including The Book of Evidence, The Untouchable, and Eclipse. Banville's novel The Sea was awarded the 2005 Man Booker Prize. On occasion he writes under the pen name Benjamin Black.
moreWinner of the Lost Man Booker Prize
1919: After surviving the Great War, Major Brendan Archer makes his way to Ireland, hoping to discover whether he is indeed betrothed to Angela Spencer, whose Anglo-Irish family owns the once-aptly-named Majestic Hotel in Kilnalough. But his fiancée is strangely altered and her family's fortunes have suffered a spectacular decline. The hotel's hundreds of rooms are disintegrating on a grand scale; its few remaining guests thrive on rumors and games of whist; herds of cats have taken over the Imperial Bar and the upper stories; bamboo shoots threaten the foundations; and piglets frolic in the squash court. Meanwhile, the Major is captivated by the beautiful and bitter Sarah Devlin. As housekeeping disasters force him from room to room, outside the order of the British Empire also totters: there is unrest in the East, and in Ireland itself the mounting violence of "the troubles."
Troubles is a hilarious and heartbreaking work by a modern master of the historical novel. less

In the pressRemarkable … Mr. Farrell deserves high praise for this novel. It is subtly modulated, richly textured, sad, funny, and altogether memorable.
— Times Literary Supplement
A tour de force … sad, tragic, also very funny.
— The Guardian
Farrell wrote superbly; all his books had a quality that hallmarks great literary talent—he could "do" texture. This album—which is what Troubles feels like—records the same Anglo-Irish as Elizabeth Bowen knew and belonged to. As with Bowen, this feels like the real thing (which is all a novel has to do). Always judge a writer by his grasp of what he doesn't know: Farrell died young yet his old people are almost his best creations.

To increase online visibility and improve SEO rankings, it is essential to keep a blog. However, hiring someone to maintain your blog full-time or even part-time is not cost-effective, so the majority of companies choose to work with freelancers.
This has obvious financial benefits, but the problem for companies is whether the writer can produce quality content that provides value to the reader. You should also bear in mind that the content they produce for you represents your company.
Working with a remote blogger needs to be a collaboration for it to work successfully. Writers need to understand your products, services, your brand identity and your target audience.
What to look for in a blogger
Ideally you want to find a blogger that understands your products and, in the case of specialist niches, they should have knowledge and experience in the field. At the very least they should be excellent researchers capable of writing engaging content your readers can trust.
Bloggers are typically passionate about the subject they write about, otherwise they would not waste their time blogging in the first place. Their passion and knowledge is something you can take advantage of.
Look for a writer with a strong, unique voice together with a good knowledge of your industry. If they have a good following on social media networks, all the better. This way you can use them as influencers, and word of mouth marketing is the most powerful tool in your arsenal.
What bloggers need
All too often, online business owners instruct writers to deliver articles that are based on keywords. And nothing more. If the writer knows nothing about your company, or the image you want to project, you cannot expect them to deliver content that is suitable or effective.
Furthermore, if you do not collaborate with the writer and formulate a content strategy you could be missing out on attracting an audience. The most effective content is focused to target specific customers, but if your blogger does not know which products you want to promote and which customers you are targeting.
By engaging with bloggers you can help them understand the "why" behind your brand. This is the message you want to make clear to your audience and by understanding your business philosophies, bloggers can more effectively promote your products and services.
If your company offers a number of products or services, collaborating with bloggers enables you to develop a content strategy that strengthens your message and makes your content more visible across multiple platforms.
For example, a blog post may tie in with a special offer you are promoting through social networks. You have prepared and posted your landing page and had some feedback, but a blog post on the same product a few days prior and after launch raises awareness and reinforces the message.
Communicating with remote bloggers
Technology makes it easier to work with remote freelancers whereby a collaborative process is much easier and cost-effective than ever before. However, shooting off emails giving instructions is not always the best policy.
It may depend on the nature of your content marketing campaign whether or not you feel you need to speak with your content writer, but if you are launching a marketing campaign to promote a special offer, you should ensure that the writer is kept in the loop and understand what message is to be delivered and how their content fits into the purchasing process.
In such circumstances, oral communication with the blogger is the best option, either by phone or video conference. You want to be able to give them the opportunity to ask questions so they are comfortable with their role. Hearing their tone of voice also gives you a better indication as to whether or not they understand your goals.
Communication should also be continued after a campaign. If you intend to continue your relationship with the writer, giving feedback about the successes and failures of a particular campaign or progress with search ranking and audience engagement will help to improve the process moving forward.
Any marketing campaign is a collaborative process, and blogging is no exception. Even if maintaining a blog is for the purpose of improving your search engine ranking is your main or sole purpose, communicating your goals to freelance bloggers gives you a better chance of meeting your targets.
