blurbin' it
I saw a Rich Little show. Out of all his impressions, only two of the people were still alive. I'm sure if they hear the impressions that he did of them, they would find a grave owned by one of the dead guys and then roll in it. I'm just kidding. It was a fun show.
Daily Doodle Returns and APE
So, The Daily Doodle is updating Daily again! I'm a little rusty at keeping the schedule but I will do my best. I just need to get back into the swing of things. There's still a chance that I'll get swamped with freelance work and not be able to update but I'm gonna do my best to keep up with it.
I went to APE (Alternative Press Expo) this past weekend. I had a great time. I met a lot of talented artist,spent way too much money, and learned some stuff. The main thing that I learned was that if I am going to make a real go at being a full time artist that I need to do more of my own artwork and sell that art in different ways. This is something that I thought was true for a while but had confirmed when I went to a work shop hosted by illustrator, Nidhi Chanani. Nidihi talked about how 90% of her income came from selling her prints and different products with her art. The last news post that I did talked about how I was going to put all of my energy into getting freelance work. I'm rethinking it a bit. Of course, while I still have a day job, I'm going to be on the lookout for freelance work. It's just apparent to me that I need to be doing my own art as much as possible. So, I don't know, my plans have changed a little. Who knows, next month I might change my mind again.
Posted 10:19
I do have a lot of plans! Good plans! I'll keep you all posted as they happen in the coming year.

With perhaps North America's best platform from which to view wildlife, as well as owning perhaps the worlds most spectacular array of geothermal pools, Yellowstone still has adventures yet untapped. Upon arrival at the park, visitors are almost guaranteed to be held up in stop-and-go traffic , as herds of massive buffalo (2,000 lbs!!) rumbles across the freeway, and bears fish patiently from icy streams. Buffalo and bears may dominate the scenery, but for those making the effort to visit off the beaten track, sightings of wolves, moose and various eagles are not uncommon.
For plant and flower enthusiasts, elevations ranging from 7,000 to 10,500 feet offers an incredible array of plants and trees. If the hordes of majestically wild animals and fields of springtime flowers don't leave you speechless, the incredibly vivid colors of the Grand Prismatic Spring and the towering geyser of Old Faithful most certainly will.
What To See
Follow these famous marvels up with a visit to the otherworldly, tiered pools of Mammoth Springs, where millions of years of calcification have turned the earth into a gorgeous landscape of steaming terraces. With hundreds of thermal vents and pools throughout the park, most connected by steaming boardwalks, Yellowstone will surely be a visit of lasting memories. For those looking to make their visit into a multi-day affair., ample camping and hotel accommodation of all styles is available throughout the year.
Camping throughout Yellowstone's backcountry is endless in its opportunity, with some visitors more likely to see bears than other hikers. Easy to access through a number of entrances, Yellowstone is truly one of Americas greatest natural sights.

I was asked to work on the artist's name for the CD cover and started by taking her signature as my original reference. Using a dip ink pen that was sympathetic to the line quality and flow of the signature, I fine tuned the letter forms and opened up the letter spacing to maximise legibility while trying to keep the spontaneity and character of the original.

Trav made it into the trial!
Here he is with his meds… All in this little bag !!!
The CA19-9 marker is up quite a bit as expected.
The cancer has grown, BUT has not spread anywhere new and the lymphnodes look about the same as they did before his chemo break. The news is not amazing and it is not devastating. I call that a win in Cholangio World:)!
The doctors here are awesome and even though it is difficult to be here, we feel so blessed that we are. We are so grateful to our rockstar Dr Hamrick at Kaiser and to his team for fighting for us to get into this trial and for cheering us on along the way.
With that being said, we are so ready to go home to see our babies!!! Thank you all for the prayers and support. A big thank you to my mom and dad for keeping our oldest guy all week and to my angel cousin Ali who kept our two little ones. It's an amazing relief when you know that your children are being loved and taken care of.
We feel like God has His hands on our journey and we are trusting Him all of the way. Our prayer now is that these trial drugs will attack the cancer in Travs body. That he will be able to handle these drugs as he did the others with little to no side effects. Also, that we know how to deal with any fear that is creeping into the minds of our older kiddos. This is uncharted territory so we pray that God leads us in our words and actions as parents.
We truly love those of you who are reading this and supporting us. God has shown us His love through all of you !!!

A 44-year-old man charged with distributing pornography featuring his eight-year-old twin daughters is expected to appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The man, who is from Lorraine in Port Elizabeth, cannot be named to protect the identity of his children.
The father of the twin girls faces three charges relating to the creation, distribution, and possession of child pornography, which is a schedule five offence. He was arrested in November last year by members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) family violence, child protection, and sexual offences unit.
He allegedly took photographs of his daughters while they were naked and distributed the images online.
The charge sheet also states the accused was allegedly found in possession of child and baby pornography stored on his laptop computer. He is out on bail of R10,000.
In another related incident, a Port Elizabeth woman accused of being part of a syndicate that distributed images of babies being sexually exploited is expected to appear in the city's magistrate's court on Monday.
The 22-year-old woman, from Westering, is alleged to be part of an international child pornography ring that distributed footage of babies and newborns being sexually exploited.
An investigating team in Johannesburg is working together with the United States' FBI and the Belgian police.
Charges against her relate to importing, possessing, and distributing films or publications containing depictions or descriptions which encourage or promote child pornography or the sexual exploitation of children.

Over the course of a journey that started over twenty years ago, I worked on building a mindset that would take me to a life that was filled with meaning and mana (inherent power and presence). You can find out more about it in the ABOUT section of this blog.
- HOME — the whole megillah
- POEM VAULT – a page listing all my poems that I threw into this thing and the posts in which they reside
- NAVIGATION NOTES – this listing of what you can expect to find in this thing
- DOIN' THE TIME – training exercises for making the building blocks you can use to build an effective mindset for getting to the life you want to live
- SKILLFUL MEANS posts are about time-tested strategies and tactics for achieving mastery and mindsets that foster achievement. They are about productivity and better ways to do the things you do as well as ways to keep on doing them too.
- MAKING TIME BIG posts look at strategies, techniques and mindsets that help you manage your time and your energy so you can make the most effective use of these resources. Some of the posts address how you can deal with your natural impatience and restlessness as well as the stress and overwhelm that can result when you try to compress time and make it smaller.
- ARTFUL DODGING posts highlight stances and techniques that foster creativity and self-expression. They celebrate process and learning to sing your own heartsong better.
- LIFE NOTES – riding the Ho'o-Cycle
- IPS (INNER PEACE SYMPTOMS) – These posts are a manifestation of playing with building aphorisms and epithets. They are expansions of the pithy observations I posted for years on my Facebook page that contain a lot of finger-pointing towards ways to get to inner peace…a worthy goal, I've always thought.
- UN-SEEING posts are reminders that each of us lives in a unique world that we make up. The posts start from the premise that you will see what you believe. The corollary to that is that the story you make in the world grows out of what you see (and what you believe). It do go 'round and round.
- WALK YOUR TALK posts are about authenticity and making your walk congruent with your own self-definition.
- GETTING TO ENOUGH posts address issues like abundance and lack. You'll be encouraged to ponder on what "enough" looks like to you. Then you can ask the Universe for just that. As a bonus, maybe you'll even recognize your "enough" when you get there. Maybe you'll be able to stop dancing and striving and climbing before you fall of a cliff or go down a pothole or something.
- ONLY CONNECT posts are about the moves and means that allow you to connect with others. They are about finding and expanding your tribe as well as about dealing with the folks who wander through your life in ways that work better for everyone concerned.
- TAO-DANCING: Embracing Change – These posts introduce strategies, techniques and tactics for initiating and dealing with change and for maintaining your own unique balance in this ever-changing world.
- HAWAIIAN-STYLE posts talk about the stances and premises underlying a number of concepts that Hawaiians accept as givens. I find I am happiest when I can live Hawaiian-Style. For me it works more often than not. Maybe it will work like that for you too.
- FRIENDLY FIRES. – The posts in this section of the blog are observations, stories and field notes that I'm still collecting.
- FAN NOTES AND REVIEWS — mostly about books, websites, organizations and other resources that are available to the wanna-be Tao-Dancer to explore
- HAND JIVE – stories and commentary about artists and craftsmen and other Makers
- TRENDS – stories about how the Creative is nurtured and nourished and how it's faring in the world.
- GUEST AND FEATURED POETS – works by guest poets and others that I think are cool
- GUEST POET PORTAL – an invitation for you to come and play
- ABOUT – the back-story

New year's day - the message 2007年新たな願い(英語)
We had a fantastic start of th 2007 thanks to our great friends in Berlin.
On the new year's day, we saw the movie, "The secret".
The key theme is "thoughts become things".
It is a documentry style with interviews"
(reminds me of the other movie, "What the bleep do we know?")
The positive thinking is not enough. The image with the whole sensation in the body including feelings is important. It is exactly same as what I read in the other powerful book, "Anastasia".
It is of course related to yoga training…everybody in the different fields say the same thing, I feel.
The effect of the movie was so powerful that my husband and I felt very uplifted. It touched me deeply and I cried by thanking my friends after the movie.
There were the massive fireworks around the lake at our freinds' at midnight. Friends had gone to the lake but my husband and I stayed behind as our kids slept. Then I thought, we need to go. We jumped off to initially just to see them from the front yard. Then, I said, "Let's run and see them at the lake!" We dashed through the fire crackers hand in hand and reached the lake. When I finally saw all the lights with extradinary noizes, I had tears…may the whole humanity be awakened this year…the words come out of my mouth.
After I came back, I could not help reading the special mantra that I usually cite every morning by wishing the humanity's awakening wholeheartedly.
People started to come back but I continued on. When I finished, I circled around to hug and say, "Happy new year" to everybody. My friend said, "It was just perfect that you were reading that. It was just right." The other said, "It was so nice to hear your praying. I just liked to hearing it. It was very touching. Thank you."
We had had a nice potluck dinner at new year's eve. I cooked typical Japanese new year's eve's dish, Toshi-koshi-soba, buckwheet noodle (wishing long healhty life). My husband had prepared Sushi. Children were shooting fireworks outside. Eating noodle with four other German and Canadian families, it reminded me of the time that all my families gather at my grandparents house for the new years' eve (it is special family reunion time in Japan like Christmas here). There was a warm sense of family though I did not know many of them.
In the beatiful space of love my friends had created, I realized that what I really want is having a smile coming from deep inside. Just being totally deeply content all the time…what I really wish for is that. Not the achievement…not what I do. Then I felt a load off from the sholders. However, it is also not just superficial "yeah, I am happy!" which vanishes right away. So I keep this image of a deep smile in me for the year of 2007.
As the Japanese proverb says,
"What you get on the new year's day is
what you get for the new year."
(Gantan no kei was ichi-nen no kei).
I toally believe this proverb! We had an amazing new year's day.
I am very greatful for having met this kind of great family friends to share moments of special time. We just had to share the energy of happiness and pass it on…so we invited our friends to have another new year's Japanese dinner the next day at our house. I had never cooked like that before. My family back home should be surprised
May all our collective wish for peace manifest in the world,
Sat Nam,
Aya Ek Ong Kar K.

Accordion Panel in IE8
The URL link used in the Accordion Panel for the secondary pages of PS3 are not pulling up the results for the categories in the table. The panel itself looks correct and corresponds to the category table in the db, the menu collapses and expands like it should, but no matter what sub-menu is chosen from the list, nothing comes up and I know for sure there are products for these sub-categories. The menus do work in Firefox, so the code for URL's are working properly. Any advise or tweaking needing to be done to get IE8 to work? Not sure about IE7, as all my PCs here have 8 on them.
Sorry about the double posting - seemed like the forum was having database connection issues at the time of submission.

Chase the Kid - Ball Tag
Summary – This is a simple game (the best kind!) that is similar to Hit the Coach, except instead of chasing the coach, all the kids chase one of the players who has the Special Target Ball (a brightly colored ball that is a different color from everyone else's ball OR as an alternative, put a special jersey or practice vest on the kid who is going to be chased). The brightly colored ball is best because when it is hit by another ball, it will be easier for the coach to see it if it is a bright color).
Rules –
Rules –
- Make the kids stay within a defined area so they learn to pull a ball back before it goes out of bounds.
- Get a Special Target Ball (a brightly colored ball that is a different color from everyone else's ball).
- Give one kid the Special Target Ball and he dribbles off. All the others chase him and try to tag him ball-to-ball-style by kicking their ball into the Special Target Ball.
- The kid being chased gets to keep going until another kid hits his ball and then the kid that tagged him gets the Special Target Ball and he is the one being chased. Or if the kid being chased loses control and goes outside the boundaries, then the kid who forced him out of bounds gets the Special Target Ball if you can tell who forced him out (if you aren't sure who forced him out, just choose one of the kids who was in the group that forced the kid out of bounds to get the Special Target Ball and have a turn to be chased).
- Try to give every kid a chance to have the Special Target Ball and be chased even if they haven't actually earned that chance because it is good for all the kids to be the one being chased and also to do the chasing.

Hello everyone! First post on the second week of August. I'm still in the mood of wearing monochrome nowadays, especially Black and White. So, today's post I write about black maxi dress that have bothered my mind since yesterday, struggling which one to buy first from my wishlist. I've just purchased 2 pieces of white tops in ZALORA yesterday, sadly leaving the black maxi dress for second purchase. I wish for more ZALORA coupon to help me purchase it :P
Beside Vintage fashion style, I was a fan of Boho style. Just a fan of, cause I haven't had courage to wear boho style in my daily life. But for this black maxi dress, I kinda dare to wear it, in a formal event or going to beach maybe? Match it with black fedora hat and gladiator or minimalist strap sandal. Oh, so love it!
So, I've gathered some black maxi dress mix and match inspiration from Pinterest, and here's the basic black maxi dress :
Too basic? Put the vest or outer on!
Match with Korean style? Big YES! Really, this one is suit for hang out or going to music festival.
And here they are, my pick from ZALORA Store's collection :

Amazing outfits, I also like the Black style, feel so much fashion, really love your collection, especially the Korean style!ReplyDelete

The problems which occurred on Everest this year are nothing new, but they have now reached such a degree that it's time for operators who value their reputation and for those who dream of climbing Everest to take a principled stand.Read more

Everesting on Everest: how mountaineers differ from endurance cyclists
Everesting involves repeatedly cycling up and down a hill until you've ascended the height of Everest. I read an interesting article about Everesting on the Tibetan side of Everest, that shed light on how poorly adapted endurance training is for altitude.Read more
Comparing Hillary's and Tichy's ascents of Cho Oyu
Cho Oyu is generally considered the most achievable 8000m peak for amateurs to climb. Despite this, even the best mountaineers have had difficulties climbing it, and two of the early expeditions there experienced contrasting fortunes.Read more

Case Study featuring the Morgan, the Beacon and the Spencer Hotels.
Alicia Fibak is the Group Online Marketing Executive for the Morgan Hotel, the Beacon Hotel and the Spencer Hotel and is responsible for managing their social media activity, including their Twitter updates.
They optimise their Twitter profile by changing their header photo depending on the season, e.g. Christmas – they generally change their header photo on a monthly basis.
Alicia builds their follower base by identifying trends on Google Trends e.g. sending out tweets about the Eurovision song contest to engage with their followers. One of the most useful features which they use on Twitter are the 'Who you should follow?' suggestions from Twitter which are sent automatically to their account.
They tweet some special offers, but their main aim is to sell Dublin as a destination. They use hashtags #events or #concerts. The key thing is that they make their tweets 'relevant', not a hard sell. For example, the Spencer hotel is located near the O2, so Alicia has tweeted a 'save the date' for the Artic Monkeys concert.
They generally schedule a minimum of five tweets a day for each hotel. They use Likealyzer to measure the speed of their response. Being online constantly is crucial.
They run more competitions on Facebook than on Twitter using the competition app Shortstack for both. Generally they collect between 150 and 350 new names if they are running a competition over a week. They find Twitter less beneficial than Facebook as they can't collect email addresses on Twitter, but Twitter is good for generating brand awareness.
On average they get 60 new followers a week per hotel, although The Spencer hotel account got 100 followers per week for the first few weeks. Their aim is to receive 100 followers a week per hotel.
Tweetdeck scheduling is very clear and handy, with three accounts you can easily tag or untag accounts and change tweets to be displayed by either of the properties. Tweetdeck is great for setting up notifications/mentions of different phrases 'Spencer' or 'the Spencer'. It is great for monitoring feeds. You can set alerts in Tweetdeck eg for 'hotels in Templebar' for example but you need to refine your notifications and pick the terms that really have an impact and not just pick generic terms that are not specific enough to your business.
Following the right people is key, e.g. influencers in the business, those people will be the people who engage daily. You're better off following three influencers rather than 200 generic followers, the influencers' followers will also see the comments you make and may decide to follow you too.
