Treatment testimonials
"Waterhouse Young offers an abundance of skincare treatments and expertise. From a luxury facial to more targeted skin solutions, the clinic is a go-to skincare destination."
"Never have I been as vain as I was when I left The Waterhouse Young clinic after my rehydrating facial. Not a mirror did I pass without staring in awe at my reflection. My skin was dewy and glowing and for the first time in years I felt confident enough to leave the house without having applied foundation."
"For great skin this summer, the key is to think ahead! If you want your face to look tip top, then head down to Waterhouse Young. Expect your face to glow the after their HydraFacial, as if your thirsty skin has had a big drink."
"It's not easy knowing who to trust with something as personal and visible as your face. At Waterhouse Young I feel completely confident that I will leave looking a better version of myself, having learnt something in the process that will help me to slow down the signs of ageing."
"Dr Saira was knowledgeable and made the whole experience informative and relaxing."
"As soon as I entered the Waterhouse Young clinic, I knew that the experience was going to be one to remember. The HydraFacial and Intraceutical Infusion are both divine treatments, they left my skin, face and décolleté feeling healthy, hydrated and glowing – even my fiancé noticed the instant improvement! It was the perfect pre-wedding preparation and I felt amazing on my special day. I'm recommending it to everyone."
"That was the best treatment I have had! Skin glowing."
"The difference in my skin is unbelievable since the guys at my Dad's new clinic have been looking after me. As a model, my job involves a lot of travelling and long hours, yet the team still manage to keep my skin clear and glowing. As the camera never lies, I couldn't do without their awesome treatments."
"Wow, it was totally amazing, my skin looks and feels so much better! Having had a patch of generally dull and lacklustre skin I am just so impressed by it. All about the results-driven facial."
"Really knowledgeable staff, and state of the art treatments. Would recommend to anyone."
"Having tried and tested many hair removal lasers over the years, I have been mightily impressed with the new Soprano ICE as not only is it completely pain free but after just one treatment I noticed an immediate difference. The efficacy of this treatment and the professionalism of the staff at the Waterhouse Young clinic are a winning combination – if you want smooth legs this summer don't go anywhere else".
"I have personally had 14 HydraFacial treatments at Waterhouse Young. I cannot fault the service offered in any way and my dermatological issues have been improved quite dramatically. What I like about the company and its practice is that they do not advise patients on having treatment just for the sake of it! I have had so many comments about my skin. Everyone wants to know the secret! It's Waterhouse Young."
"The Hydrafacial at Waterhouse Young has changed my life! Thanks to Anna the wonderful therapist who treated me…I'll see you soon :))"
"I am delighted with the results from Dr Saira. She put me at ease and I learnt a lot about skin ageing. The results are natural yet really effective so I'm already looking forward to my next treatment with her."
"My hectic schedule means my face often takes a huge strain. Early morning TV, running in cold blustery winds, not to mention the sleepless nights that come with having young children. I can truly say that the HydraFacial at WaterHouse Young has done wonders for my skin. I often get comments from people on how good my skin looks, especially in the days after I have just had a facial."
"Working in the beauty industry for the last 14 years has made me very conscious of my own skin. On visiting I was delighted with the warm welcome I received. The technology at the clinic was able to show me where I needed attention. It was decided I would benefit from a Intraceuticals Oxygen Infusion facial. The following day my skin glistened and felt soft and revitalised. I can't wait to go back!"
"The team at the Waterhouse Young Clinic are lovely. The skin analysis was really helpful to determine my weak areas and to plan a better skin care regime. I had a HydraFacial and have been using the recommended products and can already see a difference with my skin being clearer and brighter. Waterhouse Young have definitely just become my must-have ritual. I would certainly recommend people – in fact I already have."
"Waterhouse Young is the epitome of luxury clinics that delivers outstanding results. Beautiful surroundings, knowledgeable staff and a solid understanding of skin and the way it ages, means that you leave with skin better than when you walked in. I can't recommend them enough, my skin is positively glowing."
"I can't tell you how many people have commented on my skin following the facial. An hour of relaxing indulgence with lasting results. Ten Years Younger isn't just a TV programme, it's what happens at Waterhouse Young."
"What a lovely experience – my skin felt instantly transformed. Going to the clinic is such a treat and the team welcome you like an old friend. I highly recommend all ladies (and men) that do – and those that should – come here."
"I'd struggled with poor skin - adult acne exacerbated during pregnancy - for years and was completely fed up until a friend put me in touch with the lovely Anna at Waterhouse Young. Rosie then treated me and I am beyond thrilled with the results. Next stop hair removal."
"The photos of my wedding are the proof in the pudding of Waterhouse Young's Intraceuticals treatments and the TLC they give their clients. I had a young baby went I got married and, had I not know about this brilliant team and what they do for your skin, the pictures and wedding guests would tell another story!"
"This incredible thread lift was just what I needed - quick and I could see the difference straightaway. Apparently it gets even better over the coming months. Dr Saira was gentle and patient and the results are fantastic. Thank you - I look and feel amazing!"
"I'd never had a skin treatment as such before but felt motivated to do so as my face was ageing faster than I liked - particularly obvious at work and definitely after several nights of entertaining clients! EndyMed with HydraFacials have been a revelation."
"Sometimes you try a treatment and know it'll be your saviour for a long time to come! I love how mesotherapy has smoothed my facial lines and the glow it has brought back to my skin is incredible."
"I think I've discovered the facial of the century and I'm not the type to gush. Waterhouse Young claim to be experts on skin and they are. It was the first time I've had a clinical facial and I didn't know what to expect so Anna talked me through the treatment - it was so comforting and knocked 10 years off me. I could not stop looking at my skin as it hasn't looked that good in a long time. You have to see it to believe it. It's incredible."

What is EndyMedPro 3DEEP and how does it work?
EndyMedPro 3DEEP is the latest technology in radio frequency-based professional skin treatment devices. It can also be used for Fractional Skin Resurfacing, and Fractional RF Microneedle Skin Remodelling.
Radiofrequency (RF)
EndyMedPro 3DEEP sends focused and controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy waves below your skin, causing collagen elastin fibres to shorten and stimulate the production of new collagen – in turn, this causes your skin to tighten. The RF energy comfortably raises the temperature of the tissue without creating excessive heat in the top layer of the skin, therefore the treatment is pain free. This exciting technology is state-of-the-art, safe and effective, eliminating the concern about potential side effects and the need for cooling.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing (FSR)
Resurfacing refers to the removal or ablation of skin tissue so that new tissue can be formed. With fractional skin resurfacing, we are able to remove small areas of tissue in a regular pattern across the treatment area, minimising the overall damage and encouraging the response to spread across non-ablated areas. This three-dimensional skin resurfacing treatment causes a long-term tightening effect.
Intensif (microneedling with radiofrequency)
Intensif skin microneedling uses microneedles to safely and effectively deliver the uniform distribution of radiofrequency into the dermis. The radiofrequency heats the tissue to stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin. Throughout the course of treatment and over the following months, the treated tissue will be replaced by new, healthy and younger-looking tissue, which will improve the appearance of your skin.
As we are able to adjust the needle depth, energy level and pulse duration, this gives us maximum control and flexibility to create a treatment that is ideally adjusted for your skin.
What happens during a treatment?
During the RF procedure, we will gradually heat your deep skin layers using the appropriate treatment hand-piece, while your skin surface will remain around 40°C (the temperature of a hot shower). Throughout the treatment, we will constantly monitor your skin temperature to ensure your comfort at all times. The treatment is relaxing, pain free and carries no side effects; we personalise the parameters of the treatment according to body area and skin characteristics.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing
We will begin your treatment by applying a topical anaesthetic cream, which will make the treatment as comfortable as possible; the EndyMedPro 3DEEP handpiece also has an in-built cooling tip. During the treatment, the handpiece is passed over the surface of the treatment area in a series of horizontal and vertical overlapping passes until we can see your skin begin to redden. We will finally apply a derma mask to reduce any inflammation – this is very cooling and soothing.
Intensif microneedling with radiofrequency
Before we begin your treatment, we will apply a topical anaesthetic cream, which will make the treatment as comfortable as possible. During the treatment, the handpiece is passed over the surface of the treatment area and works by delivering short pulses of RF energy through an array of 25 sterilised, gold plated microneedles. After the treatment, we will apply a derma mask to reduce any inflammation – this is very cooling and soothing.
What can EndyMedPro 3DEEP be used to treat?
We use EndyMedPro 3DEEP treatments for face and body skin tightening where the stimulation of collagen results in firmer, tighter and lifted skin. It is also used for body contouring. The shortening of collagen-elastin fibres and the tightening of skin reduces the appearance of cellulite and contours the body. Clinical studies have also shown a significant reduction in the circumference of the treatment area after a course of treatments which have been maintained for up to 12 months.
Common treatment areas include the face (including around the eyes and mouth), neck, décolletage, upper arms, thighs, abdomen, hips and buttocks.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing with EndyMedPro 3DEEP delivers amazing results when treating loose ageing skin, sun damage, and fine lines and wrinkles.
Intensif microneedling with radiofrequency can be used for skin tightening, pore reduction and to dramatically improve the appearance of scarring.
Will my treatment hurt?
One of the many benefits of EndyMedPro 3DEEP radiofrequency treatment – in addition to its outstanding results – is that it is pain free. In our experience and that of our clients, the sensation is similar to a hot stone massage.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing
With Fractional Skin Resurfacing, we apply anaesthetic cream to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. You will still feel some sensation but not too much.
Intensif microneedling with radiofrequency
We apply anaesthetic cream to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. You will still feel some sensation but not too much.
How long will my skin tightening treatment take?
Your treatment time will depend on the area of your face or body being treated and which treatment method or combination of methods we have decided to use. A treatment with EndyMedPro 3DEEP typically takes between 30 and 45 minutes in addition for the 30 minutes we allow for the topical anaesthetic cream to take effect.
Of course, we'll never rush your treatment. We want you to feel relaxed, informed and in safe hands every step of the way.
How much does EndyMedPro 3DEEP treatment cost?
We will discuss your treatment options and proposed treatment plan during your initial consultation, including a full breakdown of the costs. Prices vary depending on the area to be treated.

YAPC::Europe 2012
I'm now back in Paris after a week in Germany. I was attending YAPC::Europe 2012 and the only negative thing I can say is that it was hot. Sitting in stuffy rooms on a hot day with no air conditioning is not fun, but obviously this is not something the organizers had any control over.
Corion did a fantastic job of organizing the conference and when the main hotel wasn't available for me, he found a hotel close to a zoo so that my wife and daughter could have something to do. I wish I could have joined them, but skipping conference days wouldn't have been very respectful given the work the conference did to have me there.

Emotion Commotion
In Plato's The Symposium, a discussion between Socrates and another philosopher, Diotima, arises on how man tries to attain goodness. They agree that man loves what is good and pursues the love of good. The next section of their discussion deals with the function of love, which Diotima argues is procreation. Diotima says that procreation must be achieved in harmony, and that ugliness is out of this harmony:
"That is why Beauty is the goddess who presides over travail, and why, when a person in a state of pregnancy comes into contact with beauty, he has a feeling of serenity and happy relaxation...But, when ugliness is near, the effect is just the opposite; he frowns and withdraws gloomily into himself and recoils and contracts...but has painfully to retain the burden of pregnancy."
Victor Frankenstein, as the creator of the monster, is the victim of exposure to ugliness. Victor has a violent reaction to the monster once it is first brought to life, as it causes "breathless horror and disgust." (57) Victor in this point as well as other times during the novel has his emotions towards the monster control his action. The sight of the monster triggers these emotions, which can be described as out of control and rash. However, the...

I wrote about Alex sometime back. I'm not exactly sure when but it must have been after I saw Head On, an amazing film by writer/director Ana Kokkinos that featured an incredibly raw and spot on performance by Dimitriades. He may have been listed under the Why Aren't They Stars category on my blog. But of course, that pretty much pertains to America. Alex is from Australia and I would assume has a fairly good following down under.
My friend Rick knew I was a huge fan of Australian cinema. Though I will have to plead ignorance to most of the newer stuff. I had gravitated to the New Wave of down under filmmaking back in the 80s. But Rick suggested I check out Head On and I was taken by the film and by its lead.
I remember reading somewhere that Dimitriades had decided to spend a few months a year in the United States in hopes of landing some film work. He did land a couple of projects here, but they didn't really utilized his talents well. And for the most part I think those films were forgettable. Again, not due to any fault of Dimitriades. I wonder if he is still open to work in the US? And if so, if he still ventures over here every so often?
As recently as this summer, I believe, he starred in a stage version of Rain Man which I hear received good notices. I really would have enjoyed seeing that, and hope there's a video copy somewhere out there.
Alex Dimitriades is an amazing talent who, I almost hate to say this, reminds me of a very young Mel Gibson. Yes, I'm talking Gibson before all his craziness. Like Gibson in Gallipoli or The Year of Living Dangerously, Dimitriades has this ability to rise to the occasion of good work and make it even better, this is certainly true of Head On and some of his television work.
He is also headlining a new Australian film, Summer Coda, with Rachael Taylor which I think released down under last month.
A year or so ago I came across a script that I thought would be a perfect fit for him. Sadly the funding fell through so we never even got to the talent stage of things. Every once in a while I ring up the producers of the project, wondering if it's still in turn-around hell or if there's a glimmer of financing hope. So far nothing. But I'll keep checking.
So happy birthday to Alex Dimitriades. A guy who is not only easy on the eyes, but has talent to match! I hope we see more of him in 2011.

Dr. Ragan did a great job! My case was very tuff with lots of crowding and he was able to straighten them without doing extractions.
Dr. Ragan is a great orthodontist, and an even better person. He is technically excellent, and he and his office staff are friendly, attentive and exceptionally responsive.
I just completed my 18-month orthodontic treatment with Dr. Ragan and could not be more satisfied. Not only do my teeth look excellent (straighter than I've ever seen them!), the staff has always been so kind and responsive. As an adult patient, I was a bit nervous, but was relieved to see other patients just like me. I've even called for a couple of 'emergency' appointments and they've always fit me into the schedule ASAP. I would definitely recommend to any child or adult seeking orthodontic treatment.

Beginners Tutorial: Cropping with IrfanView
I was asked how to crop an image with IrfanView, so I created this basic tutorial, and decided I might as well post it on my weblog.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of it.
Before we begin, open IrfanView.
NOTE: For all actions here, use the primary mouse button - almost always the one on the left hand side.
Step 1
The first step is to load the image file.
Simply click the 'Open' button, and browse to the file in the usual way.
Step 2
With the image open, move the mouse cursor to the top left corner where you want the image cropped:
Step 3
Press down the mouse button and hold it down. The cursor will change to a crosshair.
Step 4
Drag the mouse down and to the right whilst holding the button and you will create a rectangle on screen.
Make it the appropriate size for your crop. (If in doubt, make the area slightly larger.)
Step 5
Release the mouse button and the rectange will stay where it is:
Step 6
Go to the Edit menu and select the Crop selection option. Alternatively, press Ctrl-Y on the keyboard.
Step 7
Your image has now been cropped to the selected area.
Step 8
You now need to save the crop which you have made. Goto the File menu and select Save As.
(Alternatively, press S on the keyboard.)
Step 9
Enter in a new filename for the image. If you need the image to be high quality, save as TGA.
Otherwise, a high quality JPG is a good choice. For JPG, ensure the "Show options dialog" box is ticked.
Step 10
If you save as JPG, ensure you set the quality to the maximum (100% quality 0% compression)
That's it - press the save button and you're done.
You can now repeat these steps for other images.

Loaded Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
A simple, frosted cake is a wonderful thing. When cake is merely one element of a more complex or "fancy" dessert, the actual cake is often overlooked, leaving us with a dry, flavorless sponge. Such a foible, committed at the hands of countless unlearned pastry chefs, diminishes the taste of the dessert no matter how beautifully turned out or perfectly composed it may be.
Fancy, professional, multi-layered desserts are not easy things to pull off, even for professionals. So casual home baker that I am, I choose to glorify the kind of cakes that so many of us Americans got to enjoy as kids, if we were lucky: moist, sweet sheet cakes with sugary white frosting, round yellow layer cakes decorated with shredded coconut, or dense, spiced carrot cakes with irresistible cream cheese frosting. And what better time than a birthday to bake up one of these classics? It is guaranteed to make your birthday person feel special.
For Mike's past birthdays, I have made some very successful German chocolate cakes and one ridiculously rich, huge, lopsided coconut cake. Despite its many faults, Mike liked my coconut cake so much that he froze what was left and carved off a slice every day or so until he had finished the entire thing. I did not have room in the freezer for another never-ending coconut cake, so I considered our other options. We are both huge fans of carrot cake, and it had been quite awhile since I made one. The last time I baked a carrot cake, I was hell-bent on finding the ultimate recipe for the cake of my dreams. I had clippings, cookbooks, the internet, all at my disposal. I knew what I wanted, and I liked a lot of the recipes I found, but none of them was my perfect carrot cake. I finally stopped searching and used the recipe in the King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion , with a few tweaks of course, because it was the closest to what I had in mind. The King Arthur book is a great reference for home bakers. It has clear, exhaustively tested recipes for absolutely everything homey, American and delicious that could fall into the category of baking. All things sweet are covered, but there are also great chapters on breads and breakfast items.
In my mind, the perfect carrot cake is loaded with everything. Raisins and walnuts are required, but from there personal preference can dictate whether you want coconut, pineapple, both of those or neither. I wanted it all. My thought process went like this: "I know pineapple makes it moist, but the coconut probably adds sweetness and a nice texture. And Mike loves coconut. But I can't give up the pineapple…oh, why not, I'll add it all!" So I did; and while this carrot cake is thick, rich and definitely loaded, it is simply dreamy.
Carrot Cake
Adapted from The King Arthur Flour Baking Companion
Makes one 9 x 13 cake or one three layered 8-inch cake
4 eggs
1 ½ c. vegetable oil (I used Spectrum Super Canola Oil; it is expeller-pressed)
2 tsp. vanilla
1 ¾ c. sugar
2 c. AP flour, or 1 c. AP flour plus 1 c. whole wheat pastry flour
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tblsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
2 c. grated carrots
½ c. finely chopped walnuts
½ c. raisins
1 c. shredded coconut
1 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
Preheat oven to 350. Grease your baking pans with butter or line with parchment paper. Beat the eggs with an electric mixer, then slowly add the oil while the mixer is running. Add the vanilla, then add the sugar about 1/3 cup at a time, beating on high speed after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, a bit at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine. Next, add the carrots, walnuts, raisins, coconut and pineapple.
You can't have carrot cake without some mighty fine carrots.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking pans. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes for 9 x 13 or 35 minutes for 8-inch rounds, rotating the position of the round pans in the oven during cooking so they bake evenly. You should use a toothpick to test for doneness, but it may never come out of the cake clean. As long as the center of the cake is no longer liquidy, it is done. The cake will start to brown before the center is completely set, but that is okay. This cake is so moist, that you will not be over-baking it. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely. You can sprinkle the cooled cake with powdered sugar and serve, but you've made it this far, so you might as well go for the cream cheese icing.
Cream Cheese Frosting
From The King Arthur Flour Baking Companion
6 tblsp. good unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 8 oz. package cream cheese (I use Philadelphia's low fat version because I honestly think it is just as good as the full-fat variety)
1 tsp. vanilla
4 c. (a one pound box) confectioner's sugar
2 to 4 tblsp. milk, half and half, or soy milk
Beat the butter, cream cheese and vanilla together for several minutes. Add the sugar about 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition. Start on a low speed, then gradually increase so sugar does not fly all over the kitchen. Add some milk, one tablespoon at a time, just to achieve a spreadable consistency. You will probably need 2 or 3 tblsp. at the most.
For reasons that remain unexplained, I prefer a 2-layer cake, as opposed to a 3-layer. In that case, I just use 2 round baking pans and fill them with a about ¾ of the batter. I know, it's a terrible waste! What can I say, I like it the way I like it. Either way, ice the bottom of one cake (it is flatter than the top), then stack the next cake on it. You may want to use a large serrated knife to trim the slightly rounded tops off the lower layers so that you have completely flat surfaces for stacking. Once your cakes are stacked, ice the sides and the top. I like to press chopped, toasted walnuts onto the sides of the cake, although I know of no easy way to accomplish this, short of tossing nuts against the sides or gently pressing them on.
This is a creation for serious carrot cake lovers. It is so packed with spice (I like to add a little extra nutmeg) and other goodness that one sliver will satisfy. But please, don't skimp on the cream cheese icing.
Can't you see how special he feels? Very special, and very hungry...
Whether they were treated to a childhood full of birthdays with mom's homemade cakes or had an entirely different experience due to culture or circumstance, a cake like this, covered with glowing, rainbow-colored candles will make anyone feel like a kid again.

I agree with you about most cakes -- and so seldom eat or make cake, but here's one you might like, also with a cream cheese icing:

hi julie, cake looks spectacular! - i'm a huge fan of the king arthur book too (the cookie companion is just as awesome) but have yet to try this recipe. thanks for pointing the way ;)
- lobstersquad said...
oh that icing! amazing.
And totally agree about the Philadelphia light.
I just had to post a comment after trying your recipe. I have never baked a cake from scratch in my life, but I decided to give your recipe a try. It was honestly the best carrot cake I have ever eaten. This is a great recipe and I think that anyone could do it with a little effort. I made it on Mother's day and it was a huge hit (there was none left). Thanks again for the recipe. Just a tip that I tried (and that worked well) ... I made 1 1/2 times the icing and it came out grest. I noticed that you had suggested that we "please do not skimp on the icing" so I didn't. Thanks a million, Cyndi
- Julie said...
Wow, your comment made my day! I LOVE hearing that people have success with my recipes. I go out of my way to write my recipes well and don't post them if I don't think people will have good results. I'm SO happy to hear that your family loved it and that your first scratch cake was such a big hit! Thanks for your comment. Julie

You could further flatten the top with a knife or. Looks great though!

It must be the best desert ever. My cousin still rings for the recipe :D

All these technological advances have made people nowadays addicted to electronic devices. They do everything with the aid of these devices and some of them even claim that they could not imagine life without these smart devices. The best example is related to newspapers. Even though it might be hard to believe, the number of people who buy newspapers to read articles or to look for job ads has significantly decreased since the appearance of the Internet. More and more people use the Internet to eliminate all doubts or answer various questions related to a certain subject. In the last years, people have started using the Internet in order to look for jobs on various online platforms. For this reason, some businesspeople saw the opportunity in this situation and decided to found online recruitment platforms to make the process much easier.
If you are one of those unemployed persons looking for a job, you should start your research on the Internet with ??????? ????? ??? that you can find on various online recruitment platforms. The greatest advantage of resorting to these platforms is that you have all jobs in the same place, so you do not have to browse too much. Moreover, most of these websites have all jobs structured into separate categories, according to the domain of expertise, which makes the research even easier and timesaving. You can go straight to the category that fits your needs and look for the job that is the closest to your residence or that matches your degree.
Online recruitment platforms provide their users a wide variety of ??????? ????? ?? ??? related to vacant jobs from different domains, so you do not have to worry that you would not find the right job from a certain field. As a result, choosing this method to find the perfect job for you is probably the best idea. Even though some people still do not trust looking for a job on the Internet is a good chooice, truth is the variety of job positions available is much wider on the Internet than in newspapers for instance. Moreover, the research is done with ease and precision, due to some searching filters that people can use the moment they are searching for jobs on such platforms. You save a great deal of time using these websites.
However, it is important to find a reliable online recruitment platform in order to benefit from optimal results. Online platforms such as Dallel might be a good place to start the research. Keep in mind that you have to find one that offers professional services and that has received positive feedback from its users. It is true that looking for the right job might be a daunting and time-consuming task for some people, especially if they are looking for a specific job, but with the aid of such platforms, this task can turn out to be a lot easier than these people might have thought. All they have to do is start with a quick research online.

We're travelling for three months in Colombia and Ecuador, putting cities here through the same filter as some of our top home prospects in the U.S. Will we end up falling in love with Popayan or Manizales, Cuenca or Ibarra? Come along for the journey and see!
It now seems a good idea that I've let a few days pass by since we were in Bogota, as I'd drafted a rather negative post – it started:
Bogota feels in some ways like a third world city; why is that? Let me count the ways:
1) dog "popo" (yep, that's what they say) everywhere; 2) gigundo (no that is not a Spanish word) holes in the sidewalks and streets; and 3)trash.
But Bogata is compelling in many ways, so let me count those too:
1. El Museo Botero – you know, the guy who paints and sculpts those wonderfully voluptuous people and objects. He donated a massive amount of his personal collection to the museum, which is set in an old colonial palacio with a lovely courtyard. Fantastic. Free. Culture.
2. El Museo de Oro – gold, gold and more gold. Antique, ancient gold, and plenty of English-translations so it's easy to learn what the displays are all about. One section involves entering a circular, darkened room and listening to the chants of early Colombian religious ceremonies. During the chants soft lighting illuminates a 360 degree display of thousands of tiny gold objects, arranged in swooping arcs of flight and clouds.
3. Food – interesting and often tasty! Hot chocolate with cheese cubes (Chocolade SantaFerena.) Very sweet pastries and very dry pastries. Some amazingly good Peruvian food at "Pasion Peruana." Incredible vegetarian lunch at "Quinua y Amaranto," in La Candelaria neighborhood.
4. Architecture – from the tiny casas in La Candelaria to the palacios of the colonial era and through the early/mid 20th century, Bogota offers up some glorious buildings. The only risk is that by looking up, you may step in a nasty hole in the sidewalk hole while admiring the grimy but otherwise charming buildings.
5. Art – murals everywhere. If you follow me on Instagram (cnewmanwise) you'll see more examples of the incredible art that's on most available surfaces.
A few days in Bogota was a great introduction to Colombia and adding 10 hours of intensive Spanish lessons kickstarted our ability to get around. Angie, our teacher, can be reached at (email@example.com). She was a good instructor, understood that we wanted a crash course in survival Spanish, and that's what we got, with smiles.
We're off to Cartagena and the Caribbean coast next…flipflops at the ready!

LIAM Fontaine has left Wanderers after training with the club for several days, it has been confirmed.
The former Bristol City defender, pictured, had been invited to Euxton by Dougie Freedman and appeared in two of the development squad's friendlies against Fylde and Wrexham.
But it is understood the 28-year-old left at the start of the week after plans for a behind-closed-doors friendly against Italian side Udinese were shelved.
Versatile defender Fontaine featured on loan for Yeovil Town in the Championship last season and is currently looking for another club in the second tier.

FONFest: Bad weather, organization problems force cancelations at new Miami music fest
An ambitious first time music festival promoting ecological awareness was disrupted by Mother Nature and organizational problems over the weekend.
Performances by the two headliners for FON (Friends of Nature) FEST, at Virginia Key Beach Park on Key Biscayne, were canceled.
The rapper Matisyahu, who had been slated to close the festival Saturday night, left after driving wind and rain forced the closure of the festival's main stage at 9 p.m. Also on Saturday evening, FON organizers contacted famed Latin rockers Café Tacuba, the star attraction on Sunday, to cancel their show.
Other stages and performance areas were shuttered because of permitting and organizational problems, as well as bad weather that began on Friday evening.
The Virgin Beach stage, meant to showcase local bands, was shut down earlier in the week by city of Miami officials because it would have violated city sound ordinances, organizers said.
A film tent curated by Wynwood theater O Cinema did not have the promised equipment or furniture, and was also closed. With the bad weather, a solar-powered DJ truck heavily touted by the festival did not come.
None of the cancellations or changes were reflected on the festival website as late as Sunday afternoon; a post on Saturday night's aborted main stage concert on the festival's Facebook page was taken down on Sunday morning.
In addition to Matisyahu, other acts sidelined by Saturday's weather included Miami reggae singer Kevens and Dub FX.
"In concept it sounded like a great line-up," says Kareem Tabsch, co-director of O Cinema. "To see it crumbling from the onset is disheartening and disappointing."
Festival organizers apologized but vowed they would be back. "We put our hearts and souls into producing this event," said FON FEST co-founder Ines Galindo. "I know we had a lot of kinks and the rain certainly didn't help. Even though we didn't reach our goal this year, we will try harder next year to show this year's attendees that we can make it happen."
Lisa Nevins, an O Cinema volunteer at the festival Saturday, said a crowd had gathered at the main stage that night despite the weather and the stop and start music. "It seemed like they kept trying," she said. "But about 9:30, after another torrential downpour, the main stage completely shut down."
Galinda and fellow organizer Oscar Diaz hoped to raise awareness of ecological problems and money for non-profit groups, and had been promoting FON for months. But they had never produced an event on this scale, and Galinda said the pair put up $400,000 of their own money, borrowing from friends and family and using personal credit cards.
Lower-than-expected ticket sales appeared to be part of the reason for the cancellations. A representative for Bosstich and Fussible, DJ's from Nortec Collective, a famous electronic music group, said the pair's show was canceled on mid-afternoon Saturday, hours before rain shut down the main stage.
"They said they were not going to be able to pay us, they didn't have the funds, the walk-up [ticket sales] were not what they were expecting, and we should not perform," said Jennifer Sarkissian of Nacional Records, Nortec's label.
A representative for FON said that bad weather, not low sales, was the only reason bands were canceled.
Carlos Guzman, bassist and manager for Miami-based Suenalo, said they signed a contract but never received the promised deposit for the show they were supposed to play on the shuttered local stage. When Guzman contacted Diaz on Wednesday, he said Diaz cited increased logistical expenses, as well as closing the stage, as one reason the festival could not present the popular Latin jam band.
"He was very apologetic and said he ran into problems with the city, that initially they had approved everything but were giving them a hard time because of extra traffic and he had to spend a lot of extra money," Guzman said.

last night my friend came over and we ate popcorn, sipped bellinis, and just chatted about life. somewhere along the way i threw together dinner for us, which was tasty, colorful, and just happened to match today's outfit.
beet & heirloom tomato orzo
i'm not sure when i started cooking orzo as if it's risotto, but it works really well and i think it's a lot easier to get the texture you want from it.
about 1 1/2 cups orzo
1 large beet, roasted in the oven until soft, peeled, and cubed
2 small heirloom tomatoes, cubed
a couple of pinches of tarragon
about 2 cups of chicken stock (add as needed)
1 T butter
salt to taste
about 2 oz goat cheese (half a small log)
melt the butter on medium heat in a large pan, and add the tomatoes. toss them around a bit, then add the orzo; let it brown a tiny bit in the pan, stirring it around, then add about a cup of chicken stock and turn the heat down to low. let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is almost gone; taste it and add more chicken stock if still al dente (which it should be.) add the tarragon and continue to cook on low, tasting and adding chicken stock occasionally, until the liquid is almost gone and you have the texture from the pasta you want. add the beets and cook for another minute or two; add salt and goat cheese, stir to coat the pasta, then take off the heat and serve. voila!
after dinner we played dress-up in my closet for a little while, and ashlee pulled out this dress that i haven't worn in ages; it's inspired me to do some diving back into my closet, because it is jam-packed with gems that i have completely forgotten exist.
dress: h&m
scalloped slip: thrifted
tights: c/o stylefind
shoes: thrifted
i feel like a modern-day flapper in this outfit! i love it, although it's the first sunny morning in ages and when i got on the bus this morning the light kept hitting my dress and sending blinding pink light into everyone's eyes. no one else loved it.
and, i need to take a vote. i think the epic placecards/favors battle comes down to three ideas: little potted plants (probably either a flower or strawberry plants,) little jars of homemade jam or curd, or little bottles of home-infused olive oil. i love the plants idea, and i think strawberry plants would be so pretty and fit in with everything else really well, but lots of people are traveling for the wedding and probably wouldn't be able to take the plant with them; of course, lots of people probably have no interest in infused olive oil or jam, either. help!

how about mini whoopie pies in a cute homemade package? the pies are so simple to bake and you can make them in colors that will match your wedding. they would be nice to snack on on the way back home afterward. for packaging, martha stewart's website offers plenty of great ideas.ReplyDelete
I am Loving this look! It is very modern day flapper. I could not have said it better.ReplyDelete

food is the ultimate favor.ReplyDelete
And jars to take home are much easier - or something to eat asap as someone else suggested. I love eating my favors at the wedding while waiting for the meal!
Orange sequins! Yes! And I love that you just so happen to have shoes to match! Hmm, that's tough... if these traveling people are going on planes, would they be able to bring olive oil through security? I guess it depends on how small the bottles are!ReplyDelete
That food looks incredible and I absolutely adore your outfit! That shirt is awesome.ReplyDelete
I'm having a $100 dollar Shopbop giftcard GIVEAWAY on my blog! Come check it out :) It's open to international bloggers as well.
Collections Giveaway
i gave orchids at my wedding, but we only had 20 of them, so only people who really wanted them got them. the rest took home a small bag of cookies i made with our highlight color [robin's egg blue].ReplyDelete
maybe you can do an assortment? even numbered tables have jam/curd, odd numbers have plants? place out of towners at the tables with the jam that's easier to take home?
I vote for jars of jam!! So cute and delicious :)ReplyDelete
i believe i have that same dress in black! cute outfit.ReplyDelete
i am a fan of the jam idea: it expresses your love of making scrumptious food, it's easily portable, and it's "usable" by those who don't cook (unlike the olive oil, which might just sit on someone's counter gathering dust). with a cute label and sweet ribbon or twine or fabric, jam would be a lovely little favor!
p.s. i think the quilted canning jars are my favorite:
whatever you choose, have fun!
I love to spend a lazy Sunday going through my closet remembering that I have certain things. I have recently rediscovered that I have 4 amazing vests that I completely forgot about!ReplyDelete
Lara @
La Chouette en Dimanche
Jam and Curd! No one has to be a cook to enjoy it they can just spread it on toast.ReplyDelete
I love that map behind you in your picture! Where did you get it??ReplyDelete
@Higgenbottomwe used to make tons of whoopie pies when i worked at the bakery - honestly, they just aren't my thing. they are really cute though. i'm starting to think that maybe the sugar cookie idea is the way to go. . .ReplyDelete
@FutureLint yeah. . . i have tiny bottles and jars picked out so airport security wouldn't be an issue. . . the problem is really just that i can't decide which idea i like more.ReplyDelete
@lauren see, that's kind of genius. i keep hearing that no one takes home favors anyway, so maybe i really should just do some of each and that way everyone gets to choose what they like the best.ReplyDelete
@anne i LOVE those jars - the only problem is so many people are from out of town and you can't fly with them, so i've been thinking maybe little tiny ones. . .ReplyDelete
Vote for homemade jams!!ReplyDelete
Lovely colours both on you and on your table (meaning the food of course:). Colourful tights are the best accessories!ReplyDelete
My best friend, whose wedding I helped organize, had gingerbread hearts as the placecards/favours, with the names of the guests written on them. The good thing about them is that they can be eaten there and then or taken home as a souvenir too. :)
I vote for jam! Everyone has jam on toast sometime, whereas not everyone cooks/ uses olive oil. I've probably said it before but I LOVE your blog!ReplyDelete
omg i adore this look! it's fantab.ReplyDelete

The word 'aranthi' is elven, and means "smells like honey," taken from a five-petalled flower known for its unassuming appearance and exceptionally sweet fragrance. But while the aranthi beastfolk subrace do have the same unassuming, pleasant charm expected of the flower from which they take their name, their scent, when used as a sprayed musk, is one of their most potent weapons, as best befits a sentient species with its ancestral roots drawing from skunks. The aranthi (also called skunklings) are gradually coming to be a not-uncommon sight in many human cities, chattering happily in their attractive Sylvan-accented voices, as they have found that they enjoy the energy to be found in the bustle of urban areas, though the majority of aranthi are still found in the rural and forested areas from which they originally come.
Physical Description: The aranthi have many of the characteristics of skunks, including the stereotypical black-and-white stripes, mottling, or spots; a solidly-built body; a long, bushy tail (which sometimes hinders their motions in its attractive flowing about their bodies); and a bright, attractive furry face. Aranthi are Medium-sized, and while their body proportions tend to be similar to those of humans, they are most comely in their builds, and the extremes of corpulence are almost nonexistent among the skunkfolk.
About Aranthi: These furry fellows are good-hearted by nature, taking very much after their animal forebears in terms of pleasant disposition and agreeable tendencies. Aranthi will actually go out of their way to defuse conflicts before they start, and attempt to find common ground with all those they come in contact with, which makes them natural diplomats. They tend to be a bit too shy to make exceptional leaders, though they make excellent advisors and ambassadors. Shyness is their worst weakness, for it makes them impressionable, and sometimes easily bullied, so long as they do not feel badly threatened. Their natural weapon is a source of quiet confidence as well as mild embarrassment for the race as a whole, so that despite their retiring natures they always know that they have a defense available for emergencies.
Special Racial Feats:
Aranthi Musk [Racial]
With practice controlling and tapping into the natural defensive ability of skunks, a skunk-based beastfolk can use musk as a weapon.
Prerequisites: Must be a skunk-type beastfolk (can be taken at any level).
Benefit: Once per day, plus once more per point of Constitution bonus (minimum of once per day), an aranthi can spray musk in a 10' cone, requiring a Fortitude save (DC 12 + aranthi's Constitution bonus). If affected targets have 2 hit dice or less, then they will be stunned for 1d3 rounds, then blinded for 1d3 rounds after that. If the targets have 3 to 4 hit dice, they will be stunned for 1d2 rounds, then blinded for 1d2 rounds afterward on a failed save. If the targets have 5 or more hit dice, they will be stunned for 1 round on a failed save. Besides these effects, those caught in the cone will smell bad (no save, easy to track, and -1 on all social rolls for the duration) for 2 hours per class level of the aranthi, lessened to half that time if washed off with tomato juice or similar solvents.
Pleasing Scent [Racial]
Many aranthi are born with surprisingly pleasant musk, rather than the strongly-scented musk that is stereotypical of their subrace. Others learn how to control their scent, or have it modified through herbal and magical methods later in life. The end result is a form of natural perfume that makes an aranthi especially appealing in scent.
Note: If this is taken along with Aranthi Musk, then the musk attack is an especially concentrated version of this pleasant scent, which is so thick as to create the same effects as the Aranthi Musk feat, similar to an overapplication of perfume.
Prerequisites: Must be a skunk-type beastfolk (can be taken at any level).
Benefit: Thanks to this pleasing scent, the skunkling gains a +1 bonus on all social rolls with creatures that have a working sense of smell.
Their name, translated, means "bug eaters," and that is exactly what the arthrophages are. Descended from deep jungle creatures of long snout and sharp claws, these anthropomorphic anteaters are actually quite good-natured and easy-going – as long as you aren't a bug. Then all bets are off, for this race claims descent from a race cursed into their present form by demonic insects from another plane of existence. A perpetual vendetta against all arthropods is the end result of that ages-old feud from time out of memory, and it is one that the arthrophages pursue with great relish.
As mentioned, arthrophages are quite friendly and laid back, so long as one isn't one of their racial enemies. This race tends to take life pretty easy when they are on their home terrain, and they get along well with most other races. However, just because they have nothing wrong with other races, does not mean that they are especially open with them, and this race is exceedingly adept at engaging visitors to their lands with hours of interesting conversation, without actually divulging any details of importance during the process.
Physical Description:
Arthrophages take after the shambling form of humanoid anteaters and other, similar creatures of every stripe of existence, ranging from the truly massive giant anteaters of the plains, to the diverse burrowing armadillo species, to the smaller echidnas of dry forests and the pangolins of the deep jungles. The race ranges in height from around 5'6" to a good seven feet tall, and they tend to be quite well-devloped in physique, from long hours spent climbing trees and burrowing in the earth for the bugs that are their only food. Without exception, this race have long, toothless snouts, coupled with very long, sticky tongues that they use to lap up termite and ant larvae, and thick, powerful claws that they use to rip open the nests of these tiny treats.
About Arthrophages:
The bug eaters have such a specialized niche that they seldom come in conflict with any non-arthropod species. They could not really care less about the doings of other races, preferring instead to keep largely to themselves, and focusing their efforts on becoming better bug hunters. This often leads them into conflict with intelligent arthropodal species and those races who revere them, such as the aranea, formians, thri-kreen, and the spider-loving drow. This last conflict, and their tendency to clear away overlarge and potentially damaging groups of vermin, endears the arthrophages to the elves, who often enlist their aid when they find that they need an extra boost of ability against specialized foes. They also trade rather extensively with roaming bands of halflings, who are one of the few races that arthrophages consider true racial friends – something helped along by the bug eaters' lack of concern for material possessions.
Adventuring life comes easily for arthrophages, and the travels of their nomadic bands are often rife with exciting exploits. Few bug eaters actually leave their bands, though, preferring the safety that comes in numbers. Some are willing to leave the comfort of those they care about in order to act as expert assistance in companies of adventurers who might have need of an arthrophage's specialized racial abilities.
Racial Specific Feat Option:
Burrow: With their strong claws and compact bodies, arthrophages are able to Burrow at a rate of 10' per round through dirt, earth and other relatively soft materials. In exchange for a feat, arthrophages gain a burrow speed.
The porque (pronounced as both 'pork' or 'por-KAY,' depending on who you ask, and how pretentious the pigfolk in question happens to be) are as self-serving a race as one is ever likely to meet. Unmotivated, uninterested, and uninvolved, the pigfolk have largely been overlooked in the history of the world, and frankly could not care less. There are two significant groups of the porque. The first and most common are the civilized porque. This group tends to live out of the sight of others, on small subsistence farms, shacks and shanties in the rural backwoods of the world, where they can live out their lives without bother from others, using anonymity as a potent defense. Some of these civilized porque make their way into cities, usually after they get some money to invest, and use their natural intelligence to find ways to make their money work for them. This segment of the porque population is one of the least liked, because they tend to be rich, lazy, and overbearing in the extreme, reveling in luxury and excess. The second significant group of porque are the wild ones, roving bands of feral porque that have sunk into a state of barbarism, and now revel in savagery and raiding. Most civilized porque will deny the existence of their wild brethren, simply because they are such an embarrassment, and because they have a bad enough reputation as it is.
Physical Description: With legs that are about as long as their arms, a set of pointed ears, a rounded snout, beady eyes of brown or black, and a curly tail, the porque look very much like pigs that have learned how to walk on two legs and use tools. Porque range in height from a short, pot-bellied 4'6" all the way up to a burly 6'8", and have a variety of skin colors, falling in the same ranges as expected of normal pigs. Their body hair ranges in amount from a scanty, downy covering of more domestic-oriented porque to the short, thick, bristly fur of porque who have taken to the barbaric lifestyle. While most porque tend to be pleasantly chubby, growing somewhat obese as they age, they are often very muscular beneath their pot bellies, and many have quite well-developed physiques
About the Porque: In general porque are friendly and outgoing-enough that they get along all right with most people. However, it quickly becomes apparent that their outgoing natures are purely surface-level, and they actually tend to be quite shallow, despite their rather keen natural intellects. Most of the mental efforts of a porque are spent in figuring out ways to avoid work, and they are creatively adept at this in ways that would astound even the most inventive of gnomes. Orcs and wild porque have developed a working relationship in many areas, and so it is quite common for the two races to mingle freely, resulting in many very piggish-looking orc tribes, mostly among greenskinned orcs and half-orcs.
Wizards have never been known to be able to leave well enough alone. One enterprising spellcrafter noticed the potential for even greater combat abilities present in the the larger, more melee-oriented members of the mustelid family, such as badgers and wolverines, and worked to draw it out. The end result of these experiments was the rippers, a race of incredible endurance and near unstoppable tenacity. Surprisingly, the rippers did not slaughter their creator, as is common after such experiments. This was mainly because the wizard in question was wise enough to hire them as mercenary guards instead of simply trying to use them as mindless slaves, having instilled enough intelligence in them to understand the use of gold and the importance of steady work. As the race began to multiply, they spread out and began to offer their services to others as well, until now it is gradually starting to become quite common for standing armies or well-heeled employers in need of guarding to keep a squad or two of ripper mercenaries on hand for use in really messy situations where lots indiscriminate force is needed.
Physical Description: Burly and of incredibly well-muscled, solid construction, a ripper looks like a wall of fur-covered muscle, ranging in height from 5'6" all the way to a good 7 feet flat, their shoulders broad and chests deep. With a strong resemblance to badgers and wolverines given a humanoid shape, with appropriate fur patterns and short tails as well as muzzles and black-padded noses, these mighty mustelids are an incredibly intimidating sight, with sharp claws tipping their thick fingers, and powerful, sharp-toothed jaws that can crack bones with ease.
About Rippers: Rippers are right on the edge almost all the time. It seems to a casual observer as though one of these powerful beings was a like a pot right on the verge of boiling over, just waiting for the right catalyst or the slightest excuse to let it loose. This eagerness for battle makes rippers hard to get along with at times, though they can often sublimate their darker urges (though not always) with boisterous, outgoing personalities and heavy partying. Many, though, turn to dark brooding, waiting for the next moment when they will be able to unleash their inner beast without having to hold back.
Nobody notices them until it's far too late, and their jaws are sinking into the back of a victim's skull. Slinks, also called weaselkin, are adept solitary predators: quiet, crafty, and lethal. They are adept at living alone in the wilds of the world, and generally prefer that manner of life. However, when they do enter the cities of other races, slinks become truly deadly. Most other races feel uneasy around the weaselkin, and there is good reason for this, since slinks are not noted for being the most social (or the most sane) or individuals, and are prone to occasional fits of mindless bloodlust. Besides this, they are also associated with the criminal underworld with almost gleeful enjoyment of their grisly tasks. However, there are many slinks who act as spies, infiltrators, and informants all over the world, and their talents are held in high regard wherever they are known. Those who know slinks know that they are expert, if eccentric, talent, and treat them accordingly, catering to their wishes for the excellent results that this brings. But anyone who really knows slinks never lets them out of their sight, for the moment one trusts a slink too much, that is the same moment that there begins the constant danger of a final, lethal bite.
Physical Description: Weaselkin are what their alternate name suggests: a humanoid version of one of the small mustelids, with bright eyes, quivering whiskers on the end of a short, delicate muzzle, soft, luxurious fur, and an almost constant state of hyperactive motion. Slinks can take after the general appearance of weasels, ferrets, mongooses, polecats, minks, sables, and other, similar, wiry predators of mustelid origins. They are small, slender, incredibly agile, and are almost impossibly flexible.
About Slinks: Nobody ever said that slinks were completely stable individuals. In fact, most people will say quite the opposite. Though not necessarily malicious, weaselkin tend to be eccentric loners, which seems to be a part of their genetic makeup. While they do enjoy the company of their friends, and often act the part of the jester, clowning their way into the hearts of those around them, all slinks feel most comfortable on their own. When around others, a slink tends to be a light-hearted chatterbox, speaking before thinking and given to acting on the least impulse, which can all-too-often lead to all sorts of trouble. When alone, however, a slink undergoes a remarkable transformation, suddenly becoming an incredibly smooth operator, efficient and lethal.

Liturgical Living - shaping our lives so it takes on the rhythm of the Church calendar.
When I first decided that now was the time to finally "do something," I of course wanted to get started right away. But I wasn't sure where to begin (or how). Thankfully I had read here, here, and here about celebrating saints' days by having a special dinner and the next one that was coming up (that I could get excited about) was St George's day on April 23.
This day was the perfect way to begin, as all the ideas I had read for celebrating it were easy for me to do. St George is the patron saint of England, so one of the dinner ideas suggested was to make shepherd's pie. My husband practically grew up on shepherd's pie, so this dish was not unfamiliar to me. My favorite recipe for it even comes from the BBC.
|Nailed it!!
Another suggestion was to read St George and the Dragon by Margaret Hodges. This is apparently a popular book, as there were 21 copies available for it at the library - and for good reason! Her retelling of the story St George is extremely well done and the illustrations are gorgeous. Though I have to admit, I had to adapt the adaptation for the toddler. She loves her stories but this was just a wee too wordy, even for her. But I finally learned the legend of St George and the dragon, and the spiritual allegories were all over the story! (More on that later)
The last thing I did was to print off a couple of coloring pages of St George and the Dragon - this was just for kicks. (My coloring in of the dragon is pretty awesome, though. Don't you think?)
|Don't be jealous.
But how did the day actually go??
Our little girl seemed to be trying us at every turn that day. Right from the beginning, when she purposely kicked me square in the boob during a diaper change, to the very end of the day when she refused to eat the shepherd's pie and decided it would be better to whomp on Daddy, I had to keep asking St George to pray for me and give *me* the courage to do what God was calling me to do.
Liturgical Living Lesson #1: You may think you're doing this for your family - but you will find God is calling you to do this for *you*.
This was George's biggest lesson: at one point in his journey he saw the heavenly city and he wanted to go there with his hot girlfriend, Una. But an old wise hermit told him he needed to do what he was called to do first (i.e. kill the dragon). The parallels to my life were too obvious. Maybe painfully obvious. So after removing my little dragon to her room for hitting Daddy. I prayed for grace to finish the day well.
And you know what? She ended up eating all her dinner and going back for seconds! I'll call that a victory for the Lord.

Ecstasy (MDMA)
General Information
The drug MDMA (ecstasy) was first synthesized as an appetite suppressant in 1912 by a German pharmaceutical company but because of its side effects it was never marketed. Authorities relatively ignored MDMA until the late 1970s when it began to reemerge in Europe. Illicit use of MDMA did not become popular in the US until the late 1980s and early 1990s (Drug Enforcement Administration 2000). While MDMA abuse currently is not as widespread as other drugs its use has increased 500% in the last five years. The drug is typically taken orally, usually in tablet or powder form, and its effects last from four to six hours. Users report feeling relaxed, positive, empathetic, and extremely happy. It is also used as an aid to suppress hunger and sleep. To date no substantial reports exist proving that it is physically or mentally addictive though immediate effects include hallucinations, nausea, teeth and muscle cramping, chills, sweats, increase in body heat and blurred vision. Reported after effects include sleep problems, high blood pressure, anxiety, and paranoia.
Several recent studies on primates show that heavy exposure to MDMA can deplete serotonin neurons, which are thought to play a role in regulating mood, memory, sleep, and appetite. Research on the functional consequences of MDMA-induced damage of serotonin producing neurons in humans is at an early stage, and the scientists who conducted the recent studies cannot say definitively that the harm to seratonin neurons account for the memory and mood impairments found in chronic users (US Dept. of Justice 2001). However, the study found that compared to nonusers, heavy MDMA users had significant impairments in visual and verbal memory. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that fatalities have been linked to dehydration, hypothermia, cardiac arrest, and kidney failure arising from the bodys inability to thermally regulate itself. While death is rare, the risks are heightened in settings in which the users dance for extended periods of time in hot and crowded conditions, where body temperatures can rise as high as 108 degrees. The rare deaths that are associated with the drug MDMA are most often a result of other additives put into the ecstasy pill. An ecstasy additive is being blamed for numerous deaths in Florida and Chicago. The ecstasy pills being blamed for the six deaths in Central Florida and three in Chicago contained PMA (paramethoxyamphetamine), which has been described as "cooking a users brain like a 10-minute egg. It can burn out a persons central nervous system by raising body temperatures as high as 108 degrees" (Brassfield 2000). These ecstasy pills containing PMA have been traced back to illegal labs in Germany and Denmark.
Use Statistics
Recent media coverage has closely associated MDMA with clubs, all night raves, college campuses, and rock concerts. MDMA is most often used by young adults and adolescents. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, overall teen drug use has remained steady in 1999-2000, while ecstasy use has increased dramatically among 10th and 12th graders. Increased use of MDMA has been reported in areas such as Boston, Seattle, Atlanta, Chicago, and Miami (Focus Adolescent Services 2000). A recent survey reported that 8% of high school seniors had tried MDMA, up from 5.8% the year before. Authorities point out that the drug MDMA is marketed to youths because tablets are usually stamped with designs such as cartoon characters, and popular youth product icons. Unlike users of certain other drugs, users of MDMA rarely commit crimes to support a habit. Over 85% of MDMA offenders have little or no criminal history, in contrast to 31% of crack and heroin offenders with no criminal records (Murphy 2001).
Legal Status
MDMA is considered under federal law a schedule 1 drug, alongside other drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and speed (Stone 2001). Possession of MDMA is, and long has been, a crime under federal law, though several states have yet to put MDMA on their list of illegal drugs. Maryland, in response to the growing ecstasy problem has created the DEWS (Maryland Drug Early Warning System), which has a goal to reduce the use and availability of ecstasy. The Maryland system has four goals, these include inform and educate the public, intensify and focus law enforcement efforts, ensure diagnosis and treatment of ecstasy users, and monitor ecstasy use in Maryland (Governors Office of Crime Control & Prevention 2001). Illinois has reacted to the rising ecstasy use by attempting to elevate the penalty for the sale of more than 200 grams of MDMA, as a class X felony, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of six years (Coen 2000). Other states such as Texas have taken more drastic steps to penalize ecstasy possession. In Texas the possession of less than 1 gram carries a mandatory minimum of 6 months-2 years in jail with a maximum $10,000 fine (The Center for cognitive Liberty & Ethics 2001).
Possible Ecstasy Benefits & Education
There are several nonprofit organizations that advocate education rather than harsh penalties for MDMA use. Dancesafe is one organization that offers pill testing kits and on the spot testing at clubs and raves. Their philosophy has two fundamental operating principals, harm reduction and popular education which enables peer based programs to reduce drug abuse and empower young people to make healthy, informed lifestyle choices (Dancesafe 2001). Dancesafe argues that the "just say no" campaign is not working for teenagers. They also point out that attempting to scare youth with exaggerated dangers does more harm than good. Some doctors argue that MDMA has several positive medical benefits. Doctor Julie Holland cites several several supervised psychiatric and medical uses of MDMA, which include: battling depression, post traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, marriage counseling, enhancing hypnotic sessions, and group therapy.

Love dating brazil
If you belong to a culture where people remain in their personal spaces when interacting, you may have a tough time understanding why your Brazilian female friend or date is of the touchy-feely type.
This is because physical contact is quite acceptable in interpersonal dealings in this culture.
The yearly event epitomizes the love of color, music and vitality that is true of all Brazilians and especially with the women here.
If you want to know more about winning over the famed Brazilian beauties, here are a few handy tips.
Men and women usually kiss twice – once on each cheek – upon meeting someone for the first time, even if they are married.
I know most guys will agree with this and i know some ladies would be like "there they go again".
People in Brazil stand quite close to one another when talking or hanging out.
They take time to greet and say good-bye to each person present.
And what's more they are not conscious or embarrassed about the fact.
Here women are confident about their looks and bodies and if you like what you see, they will welcome your appreciation as well.

Although not adopting the anthropomorphic personification viewpoint, it's still an exhaustive reply as to why Astrology is not just equal to but BETTER than Astronomy and science in General. The main basis for his claim seems to be-
1. Astrology is very old
2. It deals with the world beyond physics.
So yeah, not exactly subscribing to the rational viewpoint, but gives you a gist of what to expect.
A particular highlight is
"Well, if you prefer evidence over wishful thinking, I think this is a good idea, but the problem is that evidence is only a word and it is used for all what seems to be real, but isn't it really"
Not really much that can be done with that.
Anyway, enjoy! (Also, latest letter is to advertising. Please feel free to keep the questions, suggestions and feedback coming. Like most scientists, I am dreadfully insecure)
about the signs of the sky, like the people in India in the Indus valley
culture. They have had knowledge about the two invisible Moon nodes,
which they called Rahu and Ketu. That shows that they must have done
astronomy work. But I don't think, that this stuff is an object of
Astronomers? Yes, people called that a sect, they have separated
themselves from Astrology. Now they have nothing but formulas.
All night it is dark; I do not knew what people think about eclipses.
Well, I do not see any cause on the movement of the planets or the Moon.
It is said: "Causality is the relationship between an event (the cause)
and a second event (the effect), where the second event is a consequence
of the first." But to my knowledge no one ever have shown, that the
movement per example of the Moon is caused.
Well, if you prefer evidence over wishful thinking, I think this is a
good idea, but the problem is that evidence is only a word and it is
used for all what seems to be real, but isn't it really. As one can
recognize, the colour of the sky is not real outside, it is, as you may
know a reality in a living consciousness.
If one accept it as true, what seems to be real, but isn't real, he
maybe is on the level of science. This as an big impact, because objects
of time, space, logic, music, harmony, algebra, brightness or colour
can be defined as evident, but not ever observed by the methods of
physics. And if this is to be recognized as true, it makes no different
whether one accept the nature of logic or the nature of a language like
French as true.
Well that are a lot of points you have come up with from your own
individual personal experience, but mostly all is not stuff of science,
but rumour.
I will try to pick your points up.
There are moving objects on the sky (and suns which do not move) like
the planets of our sun system. Relevant for the astrology are only the
moving objects and our sun. The sun is not really relevant, it is the
moving and rotating earth on their way around the sun. Because all
objects have a mass, a moving like an oscillation of a planet with a
frequency is because of the Planck constant an energy [eV] and because
this holds for all interacting movements like the rotation of the earth
surface with peoples, one can be understand, that it makes a different,
whether a body is placed in the east or in the west. Science people know
this effect as Doppler Effect. Because evidence is only to be
recognized, but not to show, like physical forces, and this is accepted
in the logic, in the music, and all other forms of evidence like algebra
or geometry, it is also possible to recognize the core of the language
of astro_logy like other languages. And of course it is no valid
argument, that a logic of a language like French has no evidence,
because it cannot be proved by the methods of physics; only he, who has
learned the language of French or astrology can speak valid scientific
Predictions. If you know the astronomical algorithm for the
Earth/Sun/Moon system, you can predict a planetary constellation or an
eclipse of the Sun or the Moon. That is simple, because J. Kepler has
found out the relations of the undisturbed timeless motion.
In the core, astrology do not deals really with predictions of events,
but with the evidence of geometrical patterns (like music), which was
learned from the cycles of the moving objects. These patterns are
connected with the occurrence of a special mentality of born peoples,
which can be learned as evident. It seems like a mirror, that the
planetary pattern mirrors the scope of the mentality and fate of a born
individual, like the identity of the DNA can lead to loads that person
have like the mother or the father. This is not a business of belief,
it is a business of science in that one study evidence relations beyond
the science of physics as the science of natural forces.
As mentioned above, objects of other sun systems as our are not relevant
for the astrology. But if you speak on the delay of light from far
distances, as it is evident also for the force of gravitation that
should rule the planets, one can see, that Mr. Keplers accepted formula
for the undisturbed motion includes not any time delay from
gravitational interaction, and this holds also for objects like Quaoar,
in a distance of 6 light hours one way. With other words this means,
that there is no causality of time or space. Once again this moves a
phenomenon from the interacting physics to beyond the nature of physics
in that area, which is called metaphysics and which is taboo for the
sect of astronomers.
Science. The discussion what science is, is not a scientific discussion,
but a political discussion or a belief war. Like truth no one can
define, no one can define science, because it is not to be shown, but
only to be recognized.
Theories. Your understanding of scientific work is based on your belief
system called 'science' and believes that there are must be theories
first. But this is only your own belief. Nature or the order of nature
exist well without theories, like you can find out the relations of
tunes of a string by dividing the string into other lengths. Like
Pythagoras has taken that, what is, without any theory, and J. Kepler
has taken that up again and have added the relations of integer ratio
numbers by dividing the 2 Pi circle of the ecliptic with its bodies in
harmonic angle distances, which are used as language of the sky since
the old days in India to learn and recognize the own self, there is no
need for a theory. Theories are connected to functions, and functions
are connected with cause and effect. That what is, is no function.
Claims. I think a discussion on claims is not a scientific discussion.
It is a war. I think there is an agreement possible on that, what is
and/or on that what is to be recognized as true. And if this is true,
there is never anything that is in the same time true and untrue. This
means that there is only one nature which is without contradiction.
There are no two truthes posible.
Layman. If one is an expert in Neuroscience, he is not necessary an
expert in Geology or an expert in Sanskrit or astronomy. The rules are
that he, who would discuss competent on a discipline, he must study the
discipline first. This holds for every discipline in science. There are
also rules, that he, who is a laymen to a discipline, hardly can ask
questions with the reason only to fight a belief war, whether temporary
disciplines on universities are superior to the things down in the county.
There is a big phantom power with comedians like you, because in real
there is nothing, that any science is called doing can show, except
physical forces. But beyond, this only finger touching world of truth
called physics there is claimed time, space, truth vs untruth as
essential evidence, but no one of this educated peoples ever have given
a proof for this 'objects'.
Philosophy. I think it is sensible to show the own experience instead of
make suggestions as layman in another discipline. But if this is the
purpose of a layman, I think it is senseless to discuss with on the
level of science. Because there is only one nature with living people,
who knows nothing where they come from or why they live here a fate,
born with AIDS or born to die as child.
Astrology is a tool that helps people to understand the world beyond
physics as this the Chaldeans coming from India 4000 years ago to
Babylon have lived for, as told by Diodor. The sect of astronomers have
nothing; no philosophy about the own consciousness. Empty they come in
this word and empty they leave this world"
