- 食事日記で日々何をどのタイミングで口にしているか確認ーーこうすることで、自分にあったバランス(私の場合、炭水化物が多すぎて、たんぱく質が少ないと食欲が止まらなかったり、体調がすぐれなかったりします)に徐々に戻していきます。
- 食事日記を参考に、食べ物の量やバランスを変更する必要があるかどうか見直すーー運動ができない分、総カロリー数や塩分は少なめです。不思議なことに、メンタル面が落ち着くと、自然にそうなっていくことが多いのです。
- すくなくともxx回(自分で決める)は噛んでゆっくり味わって食べるーーでました、ダイエットの基本、あたりまえすぎてごめんなさい。でも、ここでNLPテクニックをご紹介。実際の食事の前に、次のような「ゆっくり食べるリハーサル」を数回やってみると、うまくいきますよ! 1)食べものを口に入れるフリ、2)はしやナイフ・フォークを休めて肩と腕をリラックスさせる、2)xx回噛むフリ、この時、噛むたびに舌の位置を変えるのがコツ、3)ごっくんのみ込むフリーー以上をリハーサルして、それから実際に食べると、自然にできますよ。
- 3日坊主でも、完璧でなくても、「何かをやってみる」ことで十分立派!--身体が不自由になったり、ライフスタイルを何かの理由で大きく変えざるを得ない、そんな時には自分にもゆるゆると暖かいお風呂のお湯のように(?)接してあげることが肝心。この時期のあなたの心はとてもセンシティブになっているからです。無理せず、ジェントルに、でももし何か一歩進むことができたら、しっかり励ましてあげましょう。
- あなたの良さを一番知る人たちと一緒に過ごすーー「自分が誰なのか」ちょっと迷う時期でもあります。でも、あなたのコアにある人間性、魅力はちょっとやそっとでは変わるものではありません。それを分かってくれている人たちとつながる、一緒にいる(言葉でいろいろ確認する必要はありません)、楽しい時を過ごしてください。

I was standing there in front of the stuffed trunk of our car, carefully planning where to pack the last of the bags and loose items. It was donation day. I was consciously feeling and experiencing the act of what I was busy with, and I was overcome with emotion. But perhaps not the kind of emotion one would suspect.
Yes, for 2 months I have been packing and sorting the boys' baby clothes and baby items and excess toys. Initially it took me incredibly long, because I would sit with each babygrow or vest and reminisce about when I held a baby wearing it. What he looked like and what he smelled like...
|Daddy burping our week-old Zee.
|Loving our week-old Vee.
When revisiting those baby days became too unbearable I would usually just give up on the sorting and packing and go do something else. But my urge to de-clutter eventually got the better of me, thank goodness! And I also had an epiphany. I realised that I am holding on to material things to keep beautiful memories alive. I realised that I had to let go of the things, but not in a sorrowful kind of way, but rather in a thankful way. That I should celebrate the many memories we have of the times when they were small and we were able to use those baby items. And most importantly: Celebrate the here and now. Then it became easier, and now I am so thankful for this whole process of cleaning, changing, embracing, finding more things to be grateful for, being in the moment and more grateful than I could ever imagine.
You see, standing there in front of that trunk, I finally realised that the clothes that my babies had more than enough of meant that we had babies. Not one, but two beautiful, healthy babies! There was a time when the idea of little feet seemed like a dream.
Those baby clothes meant that our babies were cared for. They were warm. I realised how privileged we were that the boys were never once admitted to hospital during their baby days. And having enough warm clothes and blankets sure helped with that.
So many of the clothes and blankets were gifts. which meant that our babies were loved by our family and friends. Even before they were born. Our family and friends were excited with us and for us for our babies. And they often showed this by gifting us with the sweetest little clothes, warm and cuddly blankets and lovely toys. My babies' great grandmother hand-knitted them socks and hoodies. We are forever grateful for such love and kindness.
I looked at the bags and bags of toys, which caused for many an hour of play and learn. Time that I was able to share with my boys since I am a stay-at-home mom. Most privileged under the privileged am I, how do I say thank you for that?! The most beautiful time of my life.
Then I noted all the bath toys, which meant that our boys are able to take daily baths, to relax before bedtime and have a final few minutes of play and learn in the tub. This also meant that we have uninterrupted access to water. I am grateful!
Today I am grateful for all we have, all that was borrowed to us, all that we have been gifted and all that was shared. The incredible amount of beautiful, everlasting memories that were created with these earthly belongings playing a role in. We have the pictures to prove it. We have two happy, healthy, smiling boys to prove it. My cup overflows! I can just say thank you. And can hope that there is one or more child that will benefit from warm clothes or a warm blanket. A boy or girl that may receive a toy which can bring a smile. And thank you to organisations that spend their time, money and effort to bring our previously much-enjoyed items to new homes where it can be used and loved.

The Nordic Cultural and Commercial Houses offers a new strategic approach to Nordic diplomatic representation and co-location abroad through the establishment of multifunctional Nordic landmark buildings in key emerging markets that will serve as images of Nordic thinking, products, and values. The buildings should be seen as a new strategic approach to Nordic branding and local representation in emerging markets that:

Nordic Roundtable
On the request from a number key stakeholders, Nordic Innovation hosted a roundtable dialogue in Stockholm in January 2014 to seek out interest and stress test the NCCH project's feasibility.
– The project aligns well with the strategy of Nordic Innovation, working closely with our stakeholders to identify new opportunities. Using innovative methods to find and communicate the common denominator for the projects, engaging new partners and running processes to facilitate the future work, says Bárdur Örn Gunnarsson, director of communication at Nordic Innovation.
Senior professionals from a number of different organisations including the five Nordic Ministries of Foreign Affairs, trade promotion agencies, large Nordic multinational corporations, interest organisations and investors participated in the roundtable. The roundtable discussions generated important insights and preliminary conclusions that was grouped into four categories:
The two-day NCCH roundtable meeting in Stockholm has been summed up in this graphic illustration (click illustration to download larger PDF version):
The Great Scope
In dialogue between the Nordic Ministries of Foreign Affairs, private sector and potential investors, it was decided to move on with the NCCH project and work on a concrete case to test if the business plan behind the project and the political commitment from Nordic countries was strong enough.
– We would like to see more Nordic co-locations, and we look positively at continuing the work to clarify the conditions for Nordic Cultural and Commercial Houses, says the Foreign Ministers from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden in a statement on embassy cooperation.
Jakarta in Indonesia was singled out among ten locations around the world. Jakarta was high on the priority list for both the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and large Nordic companies who will eventually rent space in the buildings.

A Nordic Cooperation Opportunity
Nordic Innovation is supporting the continued work with NCCH based upon positive affirmations from the Nordic Committee for Co-operation, backed by a decision from the five Nordic Ministers of Foreign Affairs in May 2015 and the perspectives of including innovative Nordic solutions within clean tech and urban planning, and creating strong Nordic incubator platforms in the key emerging markets.
– It is quite clear that different Nordic businesses with activities in emerging markets see a value in a closer cooperation between the Nordic countries in these markets. The concept of Nordic Cultural and Commercial Houses could help realise these synergies, while strengthening the Nordic brand to the benefit of the Nordic countries and businesses throughout, says managing director at Nordic Innovation, Roger Bjørgan.
Besides the branding value of establishing Nordic landmark buildings in emerging markets, as well as the opportunity to create synergies between Nordic diplomatic representations, NCCH is also in line with Nordic Innovation key priorities such as the Nordic Built Cities lighthouse programme, Creative Industries, #NordicMade, and efforts of setting up soft landing zones for Nordic companies. Finally, the NCCH project opens up for new types of public private partnerships across the Nordic region as well as developing new innovative financing models.
For Nordic Built Cites, NCCH offers special opportunities as Nordic landmark buildings around the world that becomes living show rooms for best Nordic practice within Nordic innovative solutions for liveable, smart and sustainable cities. The landmark buildings will embed Nordic best practice within clean tech solutions, urban planning and design. NCCH also gives a unique opportunity for Nordic companies to develop new solutions for emerging markets, while designing the products and services for the concrete buildings.

I totally forgot to show you guys that I recieved my Jeffrey Campbell Stinger Spike flatforms a few weeks ago! They are absolutely gorgeous, as I expected, but surprisingly I still haven't broken them in yet. As beautiful as they are, they don't feel like the pair of shoes you wanna wear to go out dancing or even walking in. I don't know if it's just me being too careful, but the thought of having clear plastic around your feet just seems.. Not so practical. Basically I'm afraid they will break if I wear them out, so they will have to stand with my other shoes and look pretty until I finally decide to wear them. Probably next summer, I don't want all this rainy weather and dirt to destroy them.
I got them from lovely solestruck.com, you can find them right here

In October, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata had a press conference for the new DSi. As some of you may know the DSi will have larger LCD screens, two cameras (one on the inside of the DSi and one on the outside), better quality speakers and the GBA slot replaced with an SD slot on the side. The DSi has already been released in Japan and the US will get its release in the summer according to Iwata."

Hello World! I am so excited to be starting a new blog (third ones a charm, right?). This is my space to keep track of recipes, favorite places, food news, random adventures and whatever else is on my mind. A little bit about myself:
I am a Registered Dietitian and work at a grocery store teaching customers about healthy eating and cooking. I am lucky enough to have a job that is also my passion 🙂
I do not love to write but I am working on it, so bear with me.
I like almost all food, but hate olives and pickles.
I just got a new puppy, so I am sure you will see many photos and hear stories about her as you read my blog.
It's hard to choose what to post to make a good first impression. I am one of the most indecisive people you may ever meet, but I am working on making decisions, sticking with them and moving on. So that is what I am doing today. This being the first post means there is plenty of time for everything else and room for much improvement! My sisters, roommate and I used to own a juice company and sold at markets in DC and Maryland, so it made sense to start with a juice recipe. I love these juices because they are super simple to make with only 3 ingredients and taste absolutely refreshing and energizing! So here it is, my 3 favorite juices.
WARNING! Definitely check out this video clip from Portlandia before consuming the beet, carrot, orange juice, it will be worth it!
I couldn't decide if I wanted to touch on nutrition in my blog so if it is something you would like to continue to read about in different recipes please comment. I will always italicize the nutrition section if I continue so you can always skip over it if you are not interested.
Beets can loose up to 40% of their phytonutrients when cooked so beet juice is a great way to absorb all of their abundant nutrients! Beets are anti-inflammatory and high in folate and manganese. The combo of carrots and beets make this juice amazing for eye health too. If you love beets I would encourage less OJ and more beets, it will just be a much richer juice.
Apple, Lemon, Ginger packs a punch! It is tart, tangy, with a subtle touch of heat from the ginger. Lets just say this is the best worlds best hangover cure, seriously! Ginger has been traditionally used as an herbal medicine to effectively reduce and alleviate gastrointestinal issues. It has actually shown to be more effective than dramamine (an over the counter drug for motion sickness) in studies. It is a little bit more of an acquired taste so you may want to start off with more apple and less lemon and ginger but I promise with time you won't be able to get enough.
If you are hesitant about green juice give cucumber, pineapple, kale a try! It is unbelievably refreshing and hydrating with a sweet twist of the tropics. Let me know what you think!
Recipes make 1- 16oz juice Beet, Carrot, Orange: 8 oz Orange Juice 3 oz Carrot Juice 3 oz Beet Juice Apple, Lemon, Ginger: 10 oz Apple 5 oz Lemon 1 oz Ginger Cucumber, Pineapple, Kale: 7 oz Cucumber 7 oz Pineapple 2 oz Kale

Excel v Moyle 02/12/16
Guest report
Just thought I'd let you know how I beat BW Legal yesterday.
I was in the court waiting area when this BW Legal chap started talking to me, asking "Had I sent my court file to them?", "Did I have any other evidence?" e.t.c. He had nothing! I thought 'what a joke', so I asked him if he was actually a solicitor, and he then proceeded to act in a flustered manner and didn't actually answer me...so I informed him that all my paperwork had been sent to BW Legal via recorded delivery and had been received and signed for; it had clearly not been passed on to him! And yes, I did have some additional evidence.
The guy came across as an imbecile.....!
In the courtroom, the Judge was not impressed that his court pack had arrived two days late; my pack was also received two days late. BW's guy went through his patter blah, blah - I then delivered my killer extra written statement to the Judge...I claimed that I had left the car park within the fifteen minute grace period, and returned half an hour later (it's the Peel Centre Stockport, where I clean windows). Mr BW Legal protested, so I therefore produced all my signed work dockets. He went into a flap and was lost for words...I was reprimanded by the judge for not including this extra evidence in my court pack, whereas I replied that I was very sorry, but these people do not play fair.
I did have a strong case anyway i.e. the usual stuff - the pants signage. Anyway, the judge summed up that because his papers were late, if she permitted the case to continue, she would have to accept my new evidence, so she then dismissed the case. I personally thought that she was amused, as after her decision, she made light of the subject.
Great result after only half an hour! BW guy looked visibly deflated.
Prankster Note
The Prankster does not recommend trying to ambush the other side. This can go horribly wrong and a cast iron defence can vanish at the whim of the judge.
The Prankster has seen many hearings where parking company representatives forget vital evidence and get the case adjourned, but not many when a judge will adjourn on behalf of a motorist. This may not be fair, but this is the reality.
If the other side asks for an adjournment due to their error The Prankster suggests that the motorist asks the judge not to do this on the grounds of proportionality. The claim is for £100 yet the other side is using a solicitor at a cost of around £200. It does not make sense financially to adjourn the case as the other side will incur another £200 in the next hearing.
Additionally the other side have professional representation against an unrepresented defendant and therefore ought to know full well what will be expected evidence in a parking claim.
Lastly, if the claim is adjourned ask for a wasted costs order and your full costs for the day. Point out that the other side are quite happy to spend large amounts of money on the claim which bears no relation to the amount at stake.
Take a wage slip to prove your salary. If you had to take leave this is an allowable cost under 27.14.2.e.
27.14.2(e) a sum not exceeding the amount specified in Practice Direction 27 for any loss of earnings or loss of leave by a party or witness due to attending a hearing or to staying away from home for the purposes of attending a hearing

Excel lose double dip case at Peel Centre. BW Legal rival Gladstones for incompetence
2 comments:
Glad The Judge saw the funny side. Should have took a ukulele and given her a rendition of "when I'm cleaning windows."ReplyDelete
I'd echo The Prankies point. Don't try and be sneaky. Be human. Be civil. Be personable . Even to the other side.
And the moral of the story is "Don't Piss Off the judge, regardless which side you are on."ReplyDelete

Included in the set is a shower cream (75ml), body lotion (75ml), soap (50g), and two tiny tubes of the brands hand cream (2 x 10ml), and they all come packaged in a rather pretty wash bag.
Before purchasing the set, the hand cream is the only product I'd actually tried from L'occitane. It's a product that I've purchased many times because I'm always extremely impressed at how well it soothes, hydrates and repairs my horribly dry hands in the Winter. My hands really have been in some horrific states, but L'Occitane's dry skin hand cream always manages to sort them out, and it does this without leaving a greasy residue (I can't stand greasy hand creams!). The discovery set contains two small 10ml tubes, the perfect size for popping into your handbag.
|L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
The brand's Ultra Rich Shower Cream is a detergent free formula and contains 5% Shea Butter, a natural coconut foaming base, and soy proteins. It can be used on both body and hair and it's designed to leave skin feeling soft and supple. This stuff is an absolute joy to use in the shower. The texture is thick and rich, and it feels incredibly luxurious, smells lovely, and leaves my skin feeling clean, comfortable and hydrated.
|L'Occitane Ultra Rich Shower Cream & Body Lotion
L'Occitane's Ultra Rich Body Lotion contains 15% Shea Butter (derived directly from the African Shea tree), natural honey and apricot oil. It's designed to nourish and protect and lift the senses with subtle essences of jasmine and ylang-ylang. Again, the scent of the product is lovely – it's fresh, subtle and very clean and actually lingers for quite a while after it's been applied. Like the hand cream from the range, it feels really hydrating as you apply, but doesn't leave any sort of greasy/sticky residue behind. It sinks in quickly and leaves skin feeling moisturised, soothed and supple. This is probably my favourite product in the set, it's one of the most hydrating lotions I've tried and it even leaves problem areas (knees and elbows) feeling soft and silky smooth.
I'm not much of a soap person, so the soap I received in the set was the last item I actually tried. It's described as extra gentle, is formulated with a 100% vegetable base and is of course, enriched with Shea. Like the other products, this also smells great, creates a lovely creamy lather and leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable. I've mainly been using this for hand washing and applying the brand's hand cream after, and I'm happy to be report that my hands are in great condition at the moment. The two products used together have made a huge different to my hands – no more horrible, red, dry knuckles!
|L'Occitane Shea Butter Extra Gentle Soap
I really have enjoyed using all of the products in the Shea Butter Discovery Collection and have already ordered full sizes of both the shower cream and the body lotion. They really have helped to sooth and moisturise my dehydrated, winter skin and the scents and textures have made them an absolute joy to use. I think the set is pretty good value for money, and the generous mini sizes are a great way of giving the products a good test before purchasing full sizes.
The Shea Discovery Collection is available from escentual where it costs £18.00.

Many individuals who feel they have good vision are not aware of the importance of seeing an Optometrist on an annual basis. Seeing an Optometrist regularly is an important aspect of your health care. An eye doctor may be able to pick up eye diseases that don't have symptoms, even if you have good eyesight. In fact, when doing a routine eye exam, an eye doctor can detect many health conditions at their earliest possible stages such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. This makes eye appointments all the more important as they may help assess your overall health, as well as the health of your eyes.
For many people who don't know what to expect, the idea of an eye exam may be frightening. To help you get a better understanding of what an eye exam involves, here are our FAQS:
Do you require a patient history?
Yes, similar to any medical appointment, on your first visit to the Optometrist you will be asked a variety of health related questions about you and your family. Each answer you are able to provide will give the eye doctor a better understanding of your health history to ensure the best eye care possible.
What preliminary tests do you perform?
We perform three preliminary tests. The Auto-refractor test involves staring at a picture on a screen for a short time to give the eye doctor a rough idea of your prescription. The Visual Field test is a way for the eye doctor to assess your peripheral or side vision. It involves pressing a button when you see an object appear on the screen, similar to a video game! In addition, we use a retinal camera to take a picture of the inside of your eye. It's just like having a flash photo.
What is done during an eye exam?
After completing the preliminary tests, the eye doctor will first have you read an eye chart with letters of various sizes. There are no wrong answers because every answer helps the doctor assess your vision to determine your proper prescription. The eye doctor will also use other simple tools or lights held in front of your eyes to check your overall eye health. This includes assessing your eye coordination, eye muscles, and internal eye structures. The doctor may recommend the use of eye drops during the exam to dilate your pupils to give her a better view inside your eyes. Typically the drops are used the same day, but if necessary, a separate visit may be arranged. The Optometrist will also check the pressure of your eyes to determine your risk for glaucoma. This is done by using an eye drop and a special blue light. There is no puff of air with our method and many people find they prefer this technique compared to the "puff test". After the eye exam, your doctor will discuss the health of your eyes, and whether or not you need glasses.
Schedule An Eye Exam
Make the health of your eyes a priority and book with one of our Optometrists today!
Overall, seeing an Optometrist is a simple, comfortable appointment, generally lasting less than an hour. Since the health of your eyes may be an indicator of your entire body health, it is important to have your eyes checked annually. Book an eye exam today!

TREK is CrossPointe's student ministry for all students from 6th through 12th grade. During our student meetings, teens will grow through hearing a Biblical message that is founded on the truth of God's Word and is relevant to their age and the culture we live in today. They will often experience worship through music and prayer, and will have opportunities to discuss their faith and life with our leaders and other students in a group atmosphere. Outside of weekly meetings, teens will be able to attend events and retreats where they will get to know others and learn God's Word, and will often participate in a variety of outreach opportunities. There will even be excellent opportunities available for students to raise money and go on a missions trip, whether overseas or right here in the United States.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)

I just got my Visa statement. Visa is my backup card, usually when I forget to put the other one back in my wallet. I didn't have any charges on it this month. However, I did in the previous month.
The current statement shows the payment made in full but also shows finance charges of $1.50 tacked on after the payment was received. When I called to inquire about this balance, I was told I had no balance. Why does my statement show a finance charge? It's a mystery.
It was easy for me to spot the extra charge because it was the only charge. How many people simply send off the check or use automatic bill pay without noticing extra charges?
If there were a consumer protection agency that covered banking and financial products, that would be my next call. As it is, the worst I can do is cancel my card and send a letter to the auto club, through whom I got the card, and explain how Bank of America lost them a credit customer.

For over twenty years, Patagonia has organized an invite-only Tools Conference, where experts in the field provide practical training to help environmental activists be more effective. Now Patagonia has captured Tools' best wisdom and advice for all in a new book, Tools for Grassroots Activists: Best Practices for Success in the Environmental Movement.
The book is a collection of essays written by presenters from past and upcoming conferences, teaching the tricks of the trade and best practices on grassroots organizing, lobbying, campaign planning and communication strategy, getting the most out of social media, fundraising, using new technologies, how to work with business and more. Packaged together with full-color photos, the book also features case studies, inspirational keynotes and "wins," or uplifting stories of environmental success.
With Tools for Grassroots Activists, Patagonia reaches beyond their annual grants program recipients and the biannual Tools Conference attendees to provide the guidelines and inspiration that every environmental group needs to achieve their goals.
Tools for Grassroots Activists is a collection of essays written by presenters from the conference. The book also features case studies—stories of environmental campaigns in North America that were successful in their efforts to:
Prevent the disruption of surf break
Protect our state and national parks, and recreational trails
Restore salmon and steelhead populations
Reduce air pollution from coal plants
Watch for the book on February 1st from Patagonia

Navasota, Texas shows its inner heart... at Christmas.
Compare this colorful homespun Christmas parade, complete with Santa on an antique firetruck, and high school bands, crazy cars and Sonic drink cups sprung to life, led by our beloved lawmen and firemen who risk their lives often for us, and followed up by a a real life Western sheriff, Don Sowell, and his Junior Posse, (I'm almost getting choked up here...) but compare this wholesome, unified, festive, multicultural, multi-denominational statement of freedom and tolerance, to most other main streets in any other countries in the world; The flags and lights and sweet kids waving... Unlike their own strongholds, the extremists and terrorists have not shut this down.
This is nothing less than the fruit of Christ, even enjoyed by those who have no idea who He is, and this kind of display will always erupt anywhere there is true joy. Things like Truth and Freedom and yes, Love still guide the small towns of America. May it ever be so.
Thank you Lord for what YOU gave us!
Now help us preserve it!

Good Morning Thisisme. Your featured poem was very suggestive of all we should be aware of. I had already performed one of the small tasks it mentions before coming over here. Scooter had asked me last weekend if we could go to the donut shop. I said yes, but never got around to it. Well, I was busy with his birthday celebrations, there was a lot going on. I have him again this weekend, and he asked me again yesterday if we could go to the donut shop. Again, we didn't get there. So, this morning, I got dressed quickly without a forewarning, then told him if he would get dressed, we would go to the donut shop! It's a small thing, but one he will remember and smile about.
I'm sorry to ramble on so much. Christmas is a lovely time of year, but it comes and goes so fast. It won't be the same without Karo.
I love your photos of the frost, and the cows. Have a wonderful Sunday-stay cozy! ♥

Lovely to hear from you, Suzanne. I think we've all done that, especially with young children. Life gets in the way, but I do think it's important that we remember those words in the Post today. I'm so glad that Scooter got to get his donuts today, and I'm sure you enjoyed the experience too. When I was in America, my friend came into my bedroom just before 7am and said we were going out to Starbucks to get a take out coffee. I had mentioned the day before that I fancied one, and they didn't have any in the house. I hesitated, but I was so glad that we went out in the car in our Jammies. It was fun. Sometimes it's good to be spontaneous! I'm sure Christmas will be a bitter sweet time for year. Hugs my Texan friend.

Well now, since I'm a week late that means there only 6 weeks left to Christmas!! Ahhhh...
I loved that poem. It's so true. Way too many people just get through the day. Sad.

Hi Bee Bee. You're obviously catching up!! I really like that poem as well. Something we should all try to remember. Yes, Christmas will be here before we know it 🎄🎄. Thanks for dropping by my awesome friend.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- As the Tennessee Titans put together a new offense in the offseason, they felt they had a quality group of threatening weapons. Get the ball in the hands of Kendall Wright, Delanie Walker, Justin Hunter, Nate Washington and Chris Johnson -- in space – and those guys would be able to do some serious damage.
Nowhere in the conversation was talk of quirky changeups to far less dangerous players.
Yet early in the Titans' loss to the 49ers, the Titans called plays for Darius Reynaud, a struggling return man who somehow got on the field as a receiver, and third-string running back Jackie Battle.
Third-and-4 near midfield on the Titans' first possession, Jake Locker threw to Reynaud, who dropped the pass. Also in the first quarter, facing a third-and-15, Locker threw to Battle for a 6-yard gain.
On those two plays, the Titans showed far too much faith in marginal players who rank low on their roster. Reynaud failed to convert a third-and-1 in a recent game in a snap at running back. His drop last Sunday went along with another poor return day that finally got him cut on Monday.
No matter the coverage, throwing on third down to a guy you're about to cut instead of to Johnson or Wright or Walker doesn't make a lot of sense. Not that coach Mike Munchak didn't have a convoluted rationale.
"As far as Darius, he was in there early because he's a mismatch problem because they're going to double Kendall and cover Delanie," Munchak said in an attempt to explain. "That gives us another guy who can get open in a short area for a quick 3- or 4-yard pass. That's what that was for there -- to take advantage of something we thought was there, which was, and he dropped the ball.
"I think we're trying to use the guys the best we can. Jackie caught a screen. He was in there and we called the play. It's not like Jackie can't run a screen. Jackie ran a screen against Pittsburgh and got a first down. So he's very capable of getting a first down. It's not always going to be, 'Is he better than him?' You always want your best guys … [Chris Johnson] took a screen to the house in the third quarter. So, of course, you want him in there as much as possible, especially when you get a chance to call a screen."
The Titans are giving charity chances to bad skill players, not only at the expense of their best guys, but skipping right by a capable guy like tight end Craig Stevens, who doesn't have a catch this season. I'm OK with the way they've steered clear of tight end Taylor Thompson because I don't have a lot of faith in him. But he's a guy they traded up to draft a couple years ago because they were so in love with his potential.

My mom lets me.
So I was looking through my old yearbooks and the things people wrote on the "autograph" pages and in 4th grade I find this:
"Dear monica,
I hope i can come to your house over summer vacation. if it is ok with your mom, i can come, because my mom lets me come to your house! if i don't, have a great summer!
Love michelle"
…and then in 5th grade
"Dear monica,
Hope you have the best summer you have ever had in your whole entire life. I am going to come to your house, my mom lets me.
yours truely,
I feel bad making fun of a 4th/5th grader, but come-on… this is hilarious (and i think my mom lets me). I probably wrote equally hilarious nonsensical things, but luckily I don't have the yearbooks I signed!! I'm sure this is just a case of not knowing what to write in the yearbook of someone in her class, but lets for a moment analyze this… So in 4th grade, she only cares about coming to my house, but wishes me a great summer if she doesn't come by (her mom lets her). In 5th grade, she starts with the buttering up, telling me to have the best summer of my WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE… following it up by letting me know she IS coming over (her mom lets).
Can't believe coming to my house was so important that it made it into 2 years of yearbook signatures… but I get the feeling she didn't get to come over because she didn't even sign my yearbook the following year. Oh well. Or maybe her mom didn't let anymore…
[to be fair, she does sign it again in later years, and they read perfectly normally w/ no mention of my house or her mom]

LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo. -- Before Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Amazon wish lists, Christmas looked a lot different in the midwest.
On Saturday, Missouri Town 1855 transported visitors back 150 years to celebrate Christmas the old-fashioned way.
Under mantels adorned with evergreen and pine cones, the fire that warms the house also helps bake Christmas cookies in Missouri Town 1855.
Treats laced with molasses honey and ginger were probably a rare treat for Missouri's early settlers.
"It represents Christ's swaddling clothes in the manger," Carlene Hail said of the treats. "Sometimes it was braided that represents the Holy Trinity and three wise men."
It was a simpler time when trees may have hung from whitewashed ceilings decorated with handmade ornaments.
"Children might get one gift," Linda Goin said of the time period. "Maybe mittens or a toy but the tree was not covered with gifts."
The children in Missouri Town 1855 are still excited about talking to the belsnickle, a sort of Advance man for Santa.
"If I deem they are good, they get a treat, a candy cane or chunk of coal," Jay Classen, the belsnickel, said.
Friendship tea also bubbles over the fire in Missouri Town 1855.
"It's a combination of apples, oranges and special ingredients," Goin says to describe the tea.
Candle light also shines from the window telling travelers they are welcome.

Masayoshi Son, the renowned billionaire behind the founding of SoftBank Corp., has his 300-Year plan laid out already. In 2010, he decided that by 2040 he would invest in 5,000 companies to give the future heir to the SoftBank company a grand base to build on.
According to Bloomberg Billionaire Index, Son is Japan's second wealthiest person with an estimated $7.7 billion dollar fortune (2012). As you may recall, Softbank Mobile was Vodafone Japan before Son decided to buy it out right in 2006. Along with the purchase of Vodafone, Son, Has also taken stakes in companies like Yahoo Inc., Aliaba Group and Zynga Inc. So what could he want next? That would be his purchase of the controlling interest in Sprint Nextel Corp. in the United States.
According to Mitsuo Shimizu, an analyst for Iwai Cosmo Securities, "Son has been buying up companies one after the other" also adding "He's very bold and takes a lots of risks to make SoftBank bigger". It is still hard to see if Son can take Sprint Nextel Corp. and put it in the top 10-Telecom category in the U.S.
Son, now 55, believes that over the next 30 years, 99.8% of companies would no longer exist. He laid out his forecast in a Darwinian format comparing it to the demise of different species.
"Concerns are spreading about the performance of SoftBank and Sprint," said Hideki Yasuda, an analyst at Ace Research Institute in Tokyo. "Profit won't rise quickly even if the acquisition succeeds."
Some people are questioning whether the purchase of Americas Sprint Nextel Corp., was a wise choice. Recently SoftBank has been in a stock slump and down by nearly 22% and with this wiping out $3.8 billion of Son's personal net worth. This slump could be related to the idea that Son is planning on acquiring T-Mobile, America's 4th largest network which like Sprint is currently in a slump of their own.

I just wanted to take a minute to wish a Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. It's been a strange one for us this year because our boys are at church camp and won't be home until tomorrow. It's weird enough for me on Father's Day now that my father has passed away. I admit, it gets a little easier each year, but it never fails...toward the end of the preacher's sermon, I always have tears streaming down my face. I am thankful, though, that I will see him again one day in heaven. Until then, I'll just have to hold on to the good memories. I'm very grateful that I had a good daddy that was there for us and always worked hard to provide for his family. And I have many good memories of deer hunting, vacations, and just hanging out with him. As soon as I shed tears from missing him, something always comes to mind to make me laugh......he had a way with words! My family still imitates him!
If your dad's still living, be sure to let him know you love him. If you are married and have kids, make sure you let your husband know you appreciate him and make sure your kids give him a big bear hug on this special day :)

There could be a number of new landlord rent opportunities in the coming year, according to a property expert.
John Heron, managing director of buy-to-let mortgage group Paragon Mortgages, said that an increase in university applications among mature students could be good news for private landlords.
More tenancy agreements could be on the cards as there has apparently been a 12.9 per cent upturn in the number of 21 to 24-year-olds looking to undertake studies in the 2009-10 academic year.
Applications for the next university intake would have been made at the end of 2008, but there will still be the chance for some youngsters to gain entry via the clearing system in the summer.
"This increase in demand is not only good news for landlords that focus on the student lettings market, but also potentially landlords in the wider vicinity of the university,"Mr Heron explained.
Mature students could be prepared to live further away from their university, compared to the typical student, which may boost rental demand "more generally", he added.

For 2018/2019 season are as follows:
- 19U Born on/after Jan 1, 2000
- 18U Born on/after Jan. 1, 2001
- 17U Born on/after Jan. 1, 2002
- 16U Born on/after Jan. 1, 2003

- 11U Born on/after Jan. 1, 2008
- 10U Born on/after Jan. 1, 2009
- 9U Born on/after Jan. 1, 2010
9U Program
1. 9U Rosters
- Game day Roster maximum of 14 players.
- Rosters must have 50% of their players who reach the age of 9 during the seasonal year.
- No more than two players may be 7U.
2. Fields and Goals
- Goals will be a maximum of 6 1/2 feet by 12 feet.
- Field Size – length: 55-65 yards and width: 35-45 yards. 7v7 fields are required to have a 'build out line' which should be equidistant between the penalty area line and halfway line.
- This 'build out line' should be marked on the field with a line or can be marked on each touch line by using an identifiable marker such as a cone or flag.
- For those fields that are the minimum width and length we recommend using a smaller penalty area by using range of 20 to 24 yards wide and 10 to 12 yards from the goal line into the field of play. If a smaller penalty area is used then the penalty mark should be 8 to 10 yards from goal with the penalty arc still 8 yards from the penalty mark.
- Questions concerning field markings on fields should be directed to email@example.com.
3. Build out Line and Offsides
- When the goalkeeper has the ball, either during play (from the opponent) or from a goal kick, the opposing team must move behind the build out line until the ball is put into play.
- Once the opposing team is behind the build out line, the goalkeeper can pass, throw or roll the ball into play (punting and/or drop kicks from the hands are not allowed).
- After the ball is put into play by the goalkeeper, the opposing team can cross the build out line and play resumes as normal. The ball is considered in play when it breaks the plane of the penalty area for a goal kick or when the goalkeeper puts the ball on the ground from his/her hands.
- If a goalkeeper punts OR drop kicks the ball, an indirect free kick will be awarded to the opposing team to be taken on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the nearest point to where the infringement occurred.
- The build out line will also be used to denote where offside offenses can be called.
- Players cannot be penalized for an offside offense between the halfway line and the build out line.
- Players can be penalized for an offside offense between the build out line and goal line.
- If the build out line is not evident then it is recommended that the referee retreat to a point on the field equidistant between the penalty area and the half way line and instruct the opposition team to be level with them when the goalkeeper has the ball. Furthermore, for offsides the halfway line should be used and if both team officials consent then the half way line could be used as the 'build out' line.
4. Deliberate Heading of the Ball
- Deliberate heading is not allowed in 9U through 11U games.
- If a player deliberately heads the ball in a game, an indirect free kick should be awarded to the opposing team from the spot of the offense.
- If the deliberate header occurs within the goal area, the indirect free kick should be taken on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the nearest point to where the infringement occurred.
5. Additional Modified Rules for 9U Games
- Referees are instructed to allow one re-take of a throw-in with players informed what he/she did incorrectly.
- There should be no more than 3 team officials on player's sideline.
- Both coaches and referee must meet before game to review all modified rules8

We all wish to travel various places around the world. But there are many things associated with traveling once you have made up your mind to go to your destination. Travel package has become one of the latest trends for traveling now. It has become a general idea to hassle free travel package then to go for the individual trip. But it is not that easy to get a perfect travel package deal that come within your budget. But is it impossible to get and shall we settle with what we have? Well, not at all. There are ways to get the best package deal you want. Here are 5 tips that can help you to get the best travel deal.
1. Book Early
The best and most common idea to get a best travel deal is to book it early. The earlier you book, the cheaper the cost will be. At first the travel agents will try to get as many people as possible. This is a brilliant idea for the travelers to get a nice deal. The lack of rush makes sure that discount is more and so are the facilities. However, you should make sure that the deal is refundable and flexible as well.
2. Have a look at the deal at the last moment
The book early trick may cost you more money if the last minute deals are not well searched. Sometimes the agencies offer the Travel Deals at throw away prices just to fill their quota of travelers. So, it is always better to have a check on the price. If you get something attractive then you can cancel the earlier reservation and go for the appealing one.
3. Go through all the deals
If you have a habit of selecting the first deal you have seen then you would like to reconsider that. You must go through all the deals available in the market for the travel destination you are looking for. The next step should be the comparison of the deals and then find the best one among them. However, the decision should not be taken on the only money. All aspects should be considered before selecting the final deal.
4. Try for offseason traveling
The best way to get good travel deals is to travel off the season. This might give you huge benefits. The travel deals try to sell many cheap deals during the off seasons. You can save at least 30% during the off season. The rush of travelers remains less during this time and you can also discover the other side of the popular travel destination.
5. Flexible Travel Dates
If your travel dates are flexible enough then you can grab a great deal as well. Often agencies try to put in one or two deals at the end and if you are flexible then you can just grab the offer with two hands.
The travel deals are always fluctuating and you need to be opportunist enough to grab it. These tips can help you to get a good deal around the year.

"He is super cute." Sahana said to Ramya.
"Those flat six-pack aps, those broad muscled arms, that dimpled cheeks, those childlike cute pair of eyes, and his clean shaven look bowled me over completely…he is my dream boy." Ramya said.
"Hello… I too like him. Let's see to whom he is going to fall in love. Till then, he is a public property." Sahana and Ramya, the most beautiful girls of the college, fought with each other for a place in Rahul's heart.
Rahul, a guitarist, the heartthrob of the college having six-packs, and dimpled cheeks, met Sahana and Ramya, his college juniors, in the park when they were fighting with each other for him.
"Hi… By the way, I am Rahul."
"Hi, I am Sahana. I am Ramya…Ramya, I am a good singer," they said nervously.
"Come let's jog." He said. They joined him.
"How is it going?"
"Sir, you are an amazing singer. Sir, actually, I like you so much!" Sahana said, her lips curved, and she blushed.
"Rahul, I saw you playing guitar. You are just amazing. I have fallen in love with you." Ramya shot like a fully loaded pistol.
"Uff… Now, I have to add two more girls to the list. I am sick of this." Rahul said.
"Sir…" Sahana tried to speak, and Ramya said, "Chill senior. Let's be friends first. Shall we?"
He stretched his hand to handshake with her, and then to Sahana. They continued to jog, as they spoke about their school life, likes, dislikes, etc., and they left the park after the jogging session.

My Garden
My Garden » Blogs » RHS Gardens » Sara Draycott
Posted by Sara Draycott
19 Sep 2012
This week's blog is by Lucie Ponsford, an enthusiastic and bubbly gardener who has loads of inspiring ideas to share. Over to you...
Hello and welcome to my chit chat about working in the wonderful world of Wisley. My blogs are hopefully going to be a 'how to' guide on design, revamp and reinvigoration in your garden. Or just some inside info on details for you to look out for next time you come to Wisley.
The Model Gardens are the venue for my ramblings and where I am trying to assert what design and plants in the garden can be.
The great thing about these gardens and indeed your own is there will always be an established structure from which to start. It could be a neighbour's hedge or your urban location or just the fact there is bare earth to fill; there is always something that will strike the tone of your outdoor space.
In my case, and for the purpose of a succinct first blog I want to share with you the limitations and consequently the wonderful results of the once Bonsai Garden.
Regular visitors to Wisley, or indeed anyone who has been to the garden within the last six years may have come across Herons Bonsai garden, installed by Mr Chan, 21 time Chelsea gold winner and supplier of the wonderful Bonsai collection. This garden was moved to a new and sophisticated location between two formal yew hedges creating the Bonsai Walk; well worth a calming amble through as the autumn colour turns the miniature trees to firecrackers against the dark green foil of the yew.
The remaining site at the top of the Model Gardens was mud and red hazard tape! Fences had come down incorporating the old Subtropical Borders and opening the whole space up. Trees, gravel, plant material and sculptures had been relocated and the bare bones, the garden structure, was all that remained: sloping marble pavers, a stark white central gravelled area flanked on two sides by a low wall and then the expanse of bare earth.
What to do with an empty space with spring hot on your heels and a not-yet-completed vision for permanent planting: "direct sown hardy annuals" came the inspired word from the powers-that-be at Wisley. Kindly supplied by the Wisley Plant Centre, seed is a relatively cheap option as it's about a 10th the price of a shrub, quick to establish and a full and floriferous display within the season. The dear things put it all in to one of the best theatrical performance of the flora kingdom in a bid to get the pollinators and the next generation secured. This is a factor very useful to the home gardener who can save the seed and so make the second years display even more economic.
The process:
So a few tips to try this in your garden next year: clear the ground: a quick option is strim and rotavate any larger areas or weed kill and dig over – you will need soil with a reasonable tilth.
I referred back to the 'Old boys' of the 40's and 50's who sowed in drills 30cm apart and covered the seed with sand. This not only marks the area but ensures good drainage and quick germination of your seed.
The main factor in the early stages is to make sure there is enough moisture for the seed to germinate and then establish. Once there's more than five leaves thin the seedlings to allow them to get the space they need. They do not like to compete for sunlight or nutrients.
After that sit back watch the show evolve. Weeding as necessary!!
The display at Wisley had the extra drama of cannas, dahlias and five banana plants to add height and conceal the inner gravelled area, but it could just as easily have been all sunflowers. The great and, at first, limiting factor of stark white gravel and marble path surround became, with the hot yellows and reds, a sunny retreat with seats and a large container full of the same cannas and dahlias where families sat and picnicked. My Team Leader Adam Bowley said "It was like swimming in marmalade" and I think that was the best impression of it.
Try it yourself next year. With a small, intimate space it should take you a weekend to get all prepped and sown and then pop a chair in the centre and watch your garden perform in flower.
We've now cleared the area and are about to sow it with a selection of green manures in a geometric tumbling block pattern. Watch this space…

I've tried making clam chowder before and it always turned out awful but this recipe is the best! I've decided to post it here, in case anyone is interested in trying it,with the disclaimer that I did not create it. If I knew who did I would certainly give credit where credit is due.
Downeast Clam Chowder
6-7 pieces of bacon
1 med onion
10 oz. canned baby clams, w/juice reserved
6-7 med potatoes, cubed
2 10 1/2 oz. cans of cream of celery soup
1 C heavy cream
1 C milk
1 T butter
Dice the bacon, cook in a saucepan until crispy, then add onion and saute until translucent. Add clam juice and potatoes and cook, covered until potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally so the potatoes won't stick to the pan.
Stir in clams, soup, cream and milk. Season with fresh ground pepper and cook for about 30-45 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
I served it with a green salad and homemade garlic bread.
Absolutely delicious!

What the Heck is Branding?
I had a chat with a friend recently who is looking to take his business to the next level. We were talking about websites and marketing and standing out from the crowd. I asked him about his brand. What makes it special – different from the rest of the competition? Who is his customer and what is it that draws them to that brand – his shop? He didn't know. He wasn't really sure what I meant by "brand".
Let's just take a look for a second at this concept of "branding". He like many people, think of branding as the logo, website, marketing or advertising when actually your brand has much less to do with those "outward-in" business tools and much more of an "inward-out" story about who and what compromises the essence of the business. It's the sum of experiences and messaging about your shop, products, services, value… all of it. It comes from the inside of the company structure, not from the last cool commercial you created (although cool commercials might be a part of your brand). It's who you are and what you stand for. It's the promise to your customer that you are something special.
If you are a shop selling jewelry, for example what is it that makes you special or unique to the market? Are you the highest quality gemstones or one of a kind jewelry design? Do you sell reasonably priced jewelry with loads of selection? Are you experts in your specific niche of the jewelry industry? Do you have the market on black pearls or Hawaiian styles? Do you have the best customer service in the industry? Do you give back and are environmentally caring? What is it about you that makes you – you?
Once you have that, then you can work on the rest of the "outward-in" stuff like your logo and your website design. All those things like your business cards, digital marketing strategies and campaigns, content and voice have got to come after you know who you are on the inside. Then you follow through in all areas of your business with that story. Emphasize it, shout it from the rooftops! Make sure that voice and message is in every single point of contact with that consumer.
All the best brands in the world have that. Brands on the down slide have lost that focus.
Think about Apple. Apple screams who they are in every ad, web page, store front and commercial. Of course we may not all like what they are screaming, but it's crystal clear. And the people who are their target like it, which is what they are aiming for. Good branding is about knowing who you are and who your target audience is. Then getting that conversation going with them in the words they want to hear.
Keep in mind, it has to be real. If you tout yourself as having the best customer service, you better have it. If you say you serve the best seafood in town, it better be true. If you promise the best quality merchandise then your customer better not be getting knock-offs and inferiors. Keep your brand real and pure and those people who have an affinity for it will stay true and loyal to your products.
Take a look at Seth Godin's brand definition which I think really nails it.
