For those in ED recovery on Thanksgiving
U.S. Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I want to say a few things to my non-gender specific siblings out there in eating disorder recovery:
- It's okay to eat. You don't have to do anything to justify your eating. It is okay to be a person amongst people, enjoying the food.
- It's also okay to have limits. From pushy relatives who make comments about your body, to pushy friends who goad you to eat more pumpkin pie than your stomach has room for, you can draw a line. "Here is my boundary" you can say. You can stick to your boundary with love. Anyone you disappoint by having boundaries is likely not worth keeping around.
- You don't have to let what other people are doing, eating, and saying touch you. Draw up an emotional shield if this is a triggering time for you. You are safe, you are protected, and I know what it's like to be afraid on a day that is supposed to be about gratitude and I know what it's like to overcome it. You've got this. I am here for you.
- Exercise shan't be punishment for what you consume on this day, or any day. Think of your food as nourishment, and fuel and on this day, acknowledgement for this stolen land we are partying on. Don't think of it in terms of burpees and deadlifts and sprints. Exercise is for the exaltation of release. It is for the celebration of being in your body and seeing what your body can do. Don't make exercise something you do to be a dick to yourself. Long term, you will appreciate yourself from refraining from that mindset, I promise.
It is my sincere hope, that you are with friends and family that make you feel loved and excited to be alive. It is my wish that you can find the perfect amount of full, and that guilt and shame won't be prominent emotions around your meals. As I've said a million times, recovery is about progress- not perfection. Pat yourself on the back for successes and take note of the hard moments and use them as information.
I believe in you.
The Dangers of Compliment Culture
So U.S. Thanksgiving is around the corner, and with it comes a potential litany of worries. Some may worry there won't be much of the kind of food they eat(vegan, gluten-free, etc.) at family celebrations. Some worry about travel, and lost sleep, and being forced to take time off of work (Everyone is stressed out about an extra day off, right? Oh- so just me? DAMN).
I feel like the unspoken thing *so many* folks (especially female bodied folks) come up against when they see people that they haven't seen in awhile is body talk. It can be negative body talk that throws you off your awesome-mental game, but sometimes it can be positive body talk too. In this article, Nichole, (whom I truly admire!) drops a little food for thought on the damaging nature of compliment culture. I think it is perfectly timed before Holiday family gatherings, and I hope you will, too. Enjoy!
The Dangers of Compliment Culture
Written by Nichole Dinato of Vegan Warrior Princesses Attack!
In the U.S., most successful college-aged women say they'd rather be hot than smart. It's easy to see why. We all, regardless of gender, receive messages from a young age that our looks are important and remarkable, a lesson which is reinforced throughout adulthood.
Compliments and Disordered Eating
We have a strange compulsion in our culture to constantly comment on each other's looks, to the point where it's considered rude if we don't mention a friend's recent haircut or weight loss. But at what cost? In reading eating disorder recovery stories, and in living through EDs and body image issues of my own, I'm always struck by how many people mention that compliments were the trigger for their EDs.
Lacy mentioned recently that compliments on her weightloss after a difficult breakup were a driving force behind her restrictive eating morphing from a symptom of her grieving to an eating disorder.
I started dieting in 8th grade after noticing that I seemed "bigger" than other girls. I was more developed than them, with large breasts and curvy hips, which was especially difficult to process because I was a year younger than everyone else. I remember the feeling of my self-image warping, distorting my view of myself in the world, which persists to this day.
When I began losing weight, instead of asking me how I was achieving this all my own, or why I was choosing to diet at such a young age, my mother, my teachers and other students all told me how great I looked. As a kid who preferred to be invisible but who also had been neglected for most of her life, I started to crave this external validation. No one noticed that something had changed in me, something I desperately needed help with. I started to believe if I hit my goal weight, I would achieve happiness and ultimate control. I would be worthy of love and attention. What started out as a diet became a monster that still lives under my bed.
Compliment culture shows us that people mistake how you look with how you feel, which is an extremely dangerous lesson for someone who may be self-harming. It teaches us it's easy to hide the dysfunction by putting on makeup or nice clothes. We learn that people will only look at the surface and not see the uncomfortable truths underneath, allowing us to escape detection and get further into our dark places than we may have otherwise.
Creating Obsession
I think most of us in the Super Strength Health community understand the potential dangers of complimenting someone on their weight loss, especially if we don't know their mindset, and of representing weight loss as the end-all-be-all achievement.
Remarks on our weight can trigger eating disorders or body image issues, but constant remarks on our appearance, even in a positive light, can also create weird fixations that we wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.
I've developed a fear of looking old because I receive so many compliments on looking younger than my age. Counterintuitive? Not when you think about it. I never cared how old I looked, until I hit my late 20s, early 30s, when (apparently) I crossed a threshhold where looking young became the ultimate goal. Now I have dreams where gray hair grows in pairs on my head overnight, and plucking them just makes them grow back stronger. It's shameful to me that I care, but I do, because I have been taught that my youthful appearance is an asset in the public eye.
When we receive a repeated compliment on our looks, we learn our value, and we fear losing it.
Reinforcing Obsession
For those of us who have struggled with EDs, body image issues, and body dysmorphic disorder, there is a real danger in receiving physical compliments when trying to discuss our disorders.
Obsessing over your weight, looks or a physical feature is unhealthy. Hard work has to be done to escape from that snake pit. One thing that is very hard for me, and was impossible up until recently, is talking openly about my dysmorphic demons. To my disappointment, those hard won steps have been met with well-meaning but intensely dangerous compliments about my appearance.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this. If you have an ED and you try to speak about your struggle, loved ones probably are quick to let you know that you don't need to lose weight, that you look great, or that it "isn't that bad." If you have body dysmorphic disorder, you probably often hear that the physical feature you hate is distinctive, attractive or, again, not as bad as you think.
With this, everyone is reinforcing that your obsession is, in fact, every bit as important as you think it is. It implies that pain only belongs to those who don't look good enough to opt out. It demeans the very real nightmare that these conditions can become, reducing them down to something that can be cured with a simple compliment and not something that requires courage, possible therapy and gobs of self-care to conquer. It undermines our struggles, dismisses them with the wave of a hand, instead of validating our experience and teaching us to move beyond obsession with the physical to address the underlying emotional and/or mental root cause.
Changing the Culture
As the holidays roll around and a lot of us will be seeing friends and family, keep in mind how you interact with your loved ones. Praise little ones for kind gestures, offers of help, and perseverance in problem solving. Encourage interests. Ask them questions and then thank them for talking with you. When they ask you questions, compliment them on their curiousity. Tell them that you love them, that you miss them, that you enjoy spending time with them.
Instead of telling the adults in your life that they look good, say you love their expressive sense of style, that their faces feel like home, or that they have always been a beacon of strength for you. Simply saying, "I've missed you" can be more than enough.
If you are on the receiving end of compliment culture woes, don't be afraid to start having conversations with people around you. It will take a long time, but I'm hoping together we can start to change the world by creating safe spaces around us. It's ok to let someone know you are trying a new thing, where you don't talk about people's looks and they don't talk about yours. You can be honest and say comments on your body are scary and triggering, and ask them to help you feel safe by refraining.
That's not to say we can't ever give each other compliments on our looks, but I think we need to be much more careful about when, where and what value those compliments have.
Let people know their value in your life. Let them know that you are looking past the physical, to truly see them, and ask them to see you back.

I want to talk to you about my thighs.
Let's start from the beginning.
I have weighed many, many weights in my life. The common denominator for every single one of these weights is this: no matter where the number fell, no matter how small I got, I felt certain of one thing: my thighs were just too big.
I did not (do not, will not) have the kind of thighs that do not brush up against one another.
I did not (do not, will not) have the kind of thighs that easily fit into stiff denim. That remain demure and unobtrusive. That can be ignored.
I have spent years pissed off at my thighs, disgusted at what they were (huge) and what they would never be (invisible).
I have spent much of my life imagining what it would be like to whittle my thighs away. To cut slabs of flesh from the tops of my legs, peel the fat off, and discard them.
I have spent hours of time, hours that probably amount to days and months of time, on an elliptical machine hating my thighs, viscerally and specifically. I wished my thighs dead, ran in circles step after step trying to burn them away.
Deciding that someone else's thick thighs were kind of amazing was my first step.
I saw these thighs in a squat rack. They were attached to a body holding a barbell with hundreds of pounds of chunky metal plates. They sunk down, supporting the brunt of the bar, and they popped back up, almost effortlessly.
These thighs were undeniably big. They were strong and I was very intrigued by the way my eyes were drawn to the thickness of them. I didn't want to notice the thighs, but I also could not look away.
Could I actually admire these thick thighs and hate my own? Was that a parallel that I could manage to pull off?
This question haunted me, both as I fell to sleep at night and when I woke up to get back on the elliptical. Was it possible to live in a world where thick thighs were just okay? Where they were accepted as fact, embraced as a pillar of strength, or even just generally not thought about at all?
I saw the first pair of thick thighs that I admired years before I accepted my own.
Sure, the seed was planted. But it took focus to change my own mind about something. It took effort to make new thoughts stick.
"My thighs are fine" I said, until, eventually, I felt like "fine" wasn't really good enough anymore.
"My thighs are powerful" I thought, until I realized that powerful was indeed what they were, but that that certainly wasn't the breadth of how I wanted to feel about them.
"My thighs saved my life" I thought, almost kind of surprised.
Huh I thought.
Kind of a weird thing to think. But it was true, wasn't it?
That my thighs walked me away from my alcoholic abusive parent as a teenager?
That they supported me when I no longer wanted to get out of bed?
That they took me, step by step, to every group therapy meeting I went to, every doctor's appointment in the early days of recovery, even when I felt too tired to move? To the homes of every caring friend, to the gym and through every deadlift, sprint and push press?
Respecting my thighs became a conduit.
It brought me connection and intimacy because I stopped being afraid of eating, moving, and living amongst other people.
It brought me closer to my mom and my sister. Women of the same thighs, women that I wanted a relationship with more than I could even articulate or understand.
It brought me to women aside from my sister and my mom too, and to queer folks. Holy shit- I guess I am not the only person that has struggled with hating a certain aspect of my body. I guess I am not the only one who could have used a little support.
Embracing my thighs brought me to a personal nutrition practice rooted in loving the ever living shit out of every inch of my being.
It separated me from using exercise as a torture mechanism.
It took me away from the battle against myself- and it brought me right back into my life.
PS Lately, when I'm not waxing poetic about body positivity, I am spending much of my time formulating recipes for the newest Reset and Restore program, starting on November 2nd. If you've been looking to get a little more awesome with your mindfulness around food and body, this is totally your place.

Another year
by, 3rd January 2011 at 01:33 PM (1738 Views)
So much has happened with my nose this past year, I realized, having a look at my entry about L'Heure Bleue - is that really no longer than eight months ago? How strange! I like heliotrope. I gifted a friend with samples of eight heliotrope-laden fragrances for Christmas and I can't wait to try them myself.
I honestly cannot think of a single fragrance I really detest; I can think of ones I dislike, fragrances that make me wrinkle my nose and consider moving a few feet away, but none that make me feel sick or recoil in horror. I can't help being a little disappointed, I want the thrill of repulsion. This is the moment to order a sample of Sécretions Magnifiques, isn't it? And, of course, explore animalics further, but so far they don't repulse me so much as attract me. Civet is a thrill, to be sure, but a basically pleasant one.
Perhaps I'll just have to indulge that slightly morbid fascination with odd, unsettling and repulsive smells somewhere else - there are plenty of things that smell bad in this world, after all. I can see how bottling and selling them as perfume might not be an easy marketing strategy, of course, although the idea that someone deliberately created this is, admittedly, part of the appeal, and man-made horrible smells - even ones that are bi-products - are always more interesting to me than naturally occurring horrible smells.
I have a few very distinctive scent memories of the really interesting kind from high school; things we did in chemistry lab, like that combination of sugar and saltpetre that smells a bit like coffee and burnt sugar, or the basic esters we made up, some of them smelling like acetone or alcohol, some like synthetic fruit flavours, the combination of which always ended up giving a distinctly synthetic vomit impression that permeated the entire building. That is lovely stuff, in retrospect, as is the pungent, eggy smell of sulphate emanating from the kraft process pulping mills around Sundsvall, the smoky, acrid smell of ozone and creosote around railroads and trains, the cold, funky-yet-mineral smell of a tool box, all metal and grease and something else I can't pinpoint...
Yes. Definitely time for a sample of Sécretions Magnifiques, methinks.

Every year during this period I tend to become a little lazy at work and want to do something new around the house. It has been awhile since I did some home improvement and since there's the Christmas party with family coming, and the Chinese New Year shortly after, I decided to do some "magic" around our living room.
We live in a 5-room HDB and is kinda huge in the standard HDB context these days. Our living room and dining area are one massive open space in a regular rectangular shape which makes it rather easy to shift things around and create our space. I love to create cosy space while the husband prefers to keep it minimum and clean. With just the four of us living in this space, we kept things to the minimum.
This space is used mainly for the following:
- Space for dinner, which we have at the round kid's table because the girls want to watch TV while they eat.
- To chill, watch TV, where the girls do their crafting, writing and activities that require tables/chairs.
- Hosting of our family and friends when they come over for visits.
- Storing of books, game consoles, some toys and photo albums.
Before, we bought one and then another shelf for the girls' collection of books and activities. Eventually, these two shelves were overloaded and had papers, books and what not spilling out. We needed more storage space.
When we first moved into our house, we had a huge comfy sofa and lounger from IKEA, but we removed it after 5 years as we felt it was taking up too much space. Then we got two NOLMYRA Easy chairs that we can move around easily. But then we realized family members had to sit at the dining table or on the floor when they visit as there were not enough seats in the living room. We needed more seats.
We have also been considering getting a coffee table or a side table for the living room because when the girls are doing their activities on their round table, there'll be no table space for us to put our cup of drinks or stuff when we are spending time together in the evenings. End up the adults will be seated at the dining table with our drinks or evening snacks while the girls do their stuff at the other side of the room. Though we were still in the same room, but it felt a little distant. We needed table closer to the kids.
With the three needs in mind, we planned our new living room for the new year. And I'm happy with it because it's now more functional, meets our needs and there is a lot more storage space! Our girls are thrilled too! "Mummy it's so colourful! I love it!" said Zara when she came back from her gramps after we got the living room transformed.
For the books and stuff, we removed the two small shelves we had and replaced them with two KALLAX Shelving units in green and yellow. With the additional shelf space, I spread the books out and grouped them by type and level. The girls suddenly realized they had lots of books to read and rediscovered the many stories they didn't know they had! As there are many loose sheets of papers and thin magazines, stickers and activity books, I kept them hidden from sight with FJÄLLA Magazine files; creating a neater look for the shelves.
On the other side of the room, I added more storage space, more seats and even table space with just two sets of STUVA / FÖLJA Storage benches! I am super proud of myself when I put this corner together because it is multi-functional and yet so simple. We love this new corner!
Now the girls can use this side of the space for reading, more space for them to do their activities and they get to just dump their commonly played toys into the drawers instead of moving them in and out of their playroom.
We are now set and ready for more family time in our living space! Well at least the living room is ready.
One room down and three more to go. And this was the easiest space to improve on, the other rooms are in such crazy mess I don't event know where to start! More spring cleaning and decluttering to be done soon! How are you preparing for the new year?
This post is brought to you in collaboration with IKEA Singapore.

SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. (AP) — Tim McCray signed into Facebook a few weeks ago and scrolled through his news feed as he does nearly every morning.
Then something caught his eye. It was an article a family member had shared titled, "Thug fatally shoots himself while taking anti-Trump selfie."
The article, posted at newsworldpaper.com, purported to describe an event that changed the lives of McCray and members of his family.
On Feb. 28 in Concrete — five months before Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination for president — McCray's 43-year-old stepson Joel Melom accidentally shot and killed himself while taking photos with a gun he believed was not loaded.
That is fact.
But the article on a website that looked legitimate and was shared on Facebook included embellishments and lies, even as it cited the Skagit Valley Herald as the information source.
"It was upsetting," McCray told the newspaper (http://bit.ly/2hq2lCx). "How can they be so callous and do something like that? We know it is fake, but people who don't know where Concrete is (located) certainly wouldn't know."
The Skagit Valley Herald story on Melom's death did not include his name, referring to him only as a 43-year-old Concrete man.
Melom was actually an Army veteran. He loved his family, dogs and had an affinity for firearms, his ex-wife Dana Linderman told the newspaper.
The fake news story at newsworldpaper.com labeled him a "thug" and included other falsehoods. It fabricated Melom's motives in taking the photos.
"The man apparently had been greatly against Donald Trump, and many of his selfies included violence and profanities directed toward presidential candidate Donald Trump," the newsworldpaper.com story states.
Accompanying the piece are photos of Trump and of an unidentified black man holding a firearm. Melom was white.
"If anything, he (Melom) was a Trump supporter," said Linderman. "I was shocked. I couldn't believe this was real."
Though the story was later debunked by Snopes, a well-known website that verifies or disproves viral internet content, that hasn't helped with the emotional toll the story has taken on Melom's family.
That is part of the frustration for the Herald's president and publisher, Heather Hernandez.
"This is a tragic situation for the family in the first place," she said. "It would be devastating for a family suffering such a loss to see that."
From a business perspective, it's disturbing to see the hard work of a news organization that has survived more than 130 years to have its content misused for harm, Hernandez said.
"Anyone locally who read that story would see that we were sourced — as a local, trusted, vetted news source — and might believe it," she said. "We work really hard to be that vetted news source."
Hernandez said she hopes anyone who sees questionable content with any Skagit Publishing name on it will reach out to her or to Colette Weeks, director of content. McCray pointed out the fake story to the Skagit Valley Herald.
"At the end of the day, I'm most concerned about the people we serve," Hernandez said. She noted that while the newspaper's content has appeared without permission on other sites previously, this was the first known direct instance where the organization's information and name were lifted for the purpose of spreading malicious, fake news.
"People should realize that actions like this are also attacking the First Amendment," Hernandez said, meaning that abuse of free speech puts the entire concept at risk.
Fake news ran rampant on social media and search engines during the last election cycle. It was so prolific that some have suggested the fake stories affected the election's outcome, according to The Associated Press.
Fake news comes in many forms. It can include misleading, biased information and have click-bait headlines meant to provoke readers to click a story that usually has little substance.
Fake news can come from "content farms," a term used for websites that produce stories with misleading content, reported the AP.
According to a Pew Research Center study, about 60 percent of Americans use social media sites such as Facebook as a means of getting some news.
"You hear about fake news and kind of ignore it until something like this happens to you," Linderman said.
But it could have been worse, she said.
"(Melom) and I have a (teenage) daughter," Linderman said. "What if she was on Facebook and saw this?"
Facebook has said it is taking steps to stop promoting fake news, the AP reported.
Google may be doing the same after it was reported that a top search result related to the election was fake news. Google is the leading search engine for traffic that leads to media websites, according to the AP report.
Parents Talk Back columnist Aisha Sultan, citing a Chicago librarian, provided a few tips for determining reputable websites in a Dec. 4 column published in the Skagit Valley Herald.
She said readers can gather clues from a site's domain name. For instance, sites that end in .gov are government websites and .edu are educational institutions.
A poorly designed website might also have untrustworthy content. Check the website's "About" page for clues as to who owns it and what its goals are.
Readers can also find clues in the way articles are worded.
"Watch for 'bias words' that indicate emotion, opinion or slant or linguistic tricks to make things sound a certain way," wrote Sultan, quoting the librarian.
She advised against trusting Google search rankings as an indicator of accuracy.
McCray said his family contacted the lawyer handling Melom's estate to see if it was worth taking legal action against the site with the fake news, but it's unlikely.
"It would take a lot of time," he said. "It would cost a lot of money."
Hernandez said it's a wake-up call that no company and no person is immune to fake news attacks.
"It isn't just bloggers and national sites. It's also happened to your local newspaper and your neighbors," she said.
McCray said he will be more critical now of news he reads online.
"It's to the point where you really can't trust anything you read or see — at least on the internet," he said. "I've learned more about it now because of this incident."

On March 10, in commenting on why it would be a good idea for some industry-centric enterprise software supplier such as Cerner (CERN) or JDA (JDAS) to take a look at Lawson (LAWS), I said:
I can't dismiss the hint... that privately held Infor might acquire Lawson but that would mean it's a fire sale...
Well get on your asbestos gloves.
But this does allow me to run my annual post that tries to remember and list all the enterprise-software companies that used to be independent but that are now a part of Infor. Here goes:
Agilisys (out of SC&T), Aperum, Arzoon, Baan, Boniva, Brain, Daly Commerce, Comshare, Dun & Bradstreet, Elevon, e.piphany, EXE Technologies, Extensity, Formation Systems, Foundation, Future Three, Infinium (nee Software 2000), Ironside, JBA Software, Lilly Software, Marcam, MAPICS, Mercia, McCormick and Dodge (M&D), Ohio Community Library Consortium (OCLC), NxTrend, Octane, Pegasus (not Pegasystems), Provia, Softbrands, StarBuilder, SunSystems (not to be confused with the server manufacturer acquired by Oracle), Symix, System Software Associates (SSA), Varial, and Vision.
And if the Infor buy-out offer is accepted by Lawson management and Carl Ichan, add BCM, CareScience, Confer, Enwisen, Healthcare.com, Healthvision, HCI, HIE, Hublink, Integrated Media, Intentia, Mobis, Movex, MPower, Noblenet, Outlaw, Pixel, PM Sims, Riley Dike Dosher, Rouge Wave, Scase, Xcare.net and Lawson itself -- which grew pretty much organically -- to the list.

This morning I saw a post on Ignant about this magical place that is all about teas. As a lover of tea I could not resist the temptation to write about it. The shop is called Paper and Tea and I think I just fell in love with it.
Paper and Tea is a shop based in Charlottenburg, Berlin. They don't just sell tea, they have a passion for tea. At P&T you can find a wide selection of teas, accessories and paper goods. Furthermore, they hold seminars for those wishing to extend their knowledge and appreciation for contemporary tea culture.
What I like the most about this place is their brand identity. At P&T the harmonious style is inspired by the communication, creativity and culture that comes together with the traditions of tea. The minimalistic style of their shop interior, packaging, website design, product styling and photography all go perfectly together with the colour palette of tea. Even the posters they have are printed using tea pigment. I just love the whole concept.
And now I am going to have a cup of tea myself…
All the Photographs are taken from Paper and Tea website.

Halloween night 2015!
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Families
This homemade costume for families entered our 2015 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Carlos, the 'Minions' costume creator:
Had this minion idea for my daughter and I inspired by pintrest and online research with a few more upgrades. Painted Mattress foam paddind outside. I added inner tube for comfort and stability made out of sleeping bag padding. Added mini (travelon) personal fans in each costume to keep cool. I also added mini Bluetooth speakers with minion "sayings" transmitted and controlled via smart phone. I already had one mini fan and also had 2 Bluetooth speakers at my disposal so I only spent approximately $85-90'.00 for both costumes.

What really happened on 9/11? What can the evidence tell us? Who is covering up the evidence, and why are they covering it up? This book attempts to give some answers to these questions and has been written by someone who has become deeply involved in research into what happened on 9/11. A study of the available evidence will challenge you and much of what you assumed to be true. "Now we are discovering that there is a highly-sophisticated black-ops weaponization of free energy technology and it was responsible for the bizarre, low-temperature pulverization of the Twin Towers. Dr. Judy Wood has pieced together the physical evidence and Andrew Johnson has highlighted who is working to silence or smear whom, as the powers that be rush to impede or at least contain the dissemination of these startling findings." - Conrado Salas Cano, M.S. in Physics ** NOTE: Book is sold at cost price and the cover price pays for printing - no money goes to the author or Dr Judy Wood. **

Ethiopian music queen 'Betty G' on her Coke Studio return
In 2017, one of Ethiopia's fastest rising music stars Betty G of the "Yekelekilal" hit returns to Coke Studio Africa for a second time, this time collaborating with Tanzanian singer Nandy. Last year she was paired on the show with Cameroonian music group: X Maleya. Betty G says, "This year's show is going to be epic! I am excited about working with Nandy and the sound we are creating is very authentic and that feeds my soul."
Betty G's ability to sing in French, English and Amharic has given her an edge in Ethiopia's music scene as she continues to draw an international audience towards her sound that can best be described as mellow, smooth and sultry. In person, Betty G seems delicate but on stage she transforms to become an energetic performer and power vocalist. On Coke Studio Africa – 2017 she joins other Ethiopioan acts: Jano Band, Dawit Nega, Sami Dan and Asgegnew Ashko in flaunting the heritage of Ethiopian music. Ethiopian music is celebrated as one of Africa's most authentic and untouched by foreign influence.
On Coke Studio Africa – 2017, Betty G also feature on a special episode dubbed 'The Global Fusion Edition' alongside Coke Studio Africa's international guest star – the American Pop/R&B star Jason Derulo alongside 10 other African stars. Speaking at a Nairobi press conference held at Sarova Stanley, Betty G said, "I never thought I would work with so many other African artists or International artists because we are well placed politically but musically we are not known," adding, "Getting this opportunity to work with Jason Derulo [] whom I danced to his music is definitely a dream come true."
Betty G's stature in the music industry has also been defined by key collaborations with prominent Ethiopian artists including Teddy Afro, Zeritu Kebede, Jhonny Raga and Natael Ayalew (Nhatty Man). It's undisputed that Betty G is slowly among a set of artists taking Ethiopian music to the next level. With her magic voice, and her own renditions of pop, she continues to blend new and old Ethiopian music with emerging genres like afro pop and afro beat slowly gaining popularity in Ethiopia in particular.
Away from the music, Betty is also a mother and wife who says that her hobbies include meeting new people, visiting new places and getting new experiences. Betty attended Lycee Gebre Mariam, a French High School. She would later join the Commercial College of Addis Ababa and a French University, Universite de L"IAE Politier, via correspondence, graduating in 2009 with a dual degree in Office Management and General Management.
On Coke Studio, Betty G and Nandy are produced by super star Tanzanian music producer: Nahreel. Catch all their music performances on www.YouTube.com/CokeStudioAfrica

Finally Finished Junk Swap ProjectMarch 29th, 2010 in member junk
Christina_S, member
Well it took 4 days (I've decided that I am not a fan of having to wait on paint to dry!) but I finally finished my junk swap project. I'm happy how it turned out. I think this would also be cute holding cookbooks with recipe cards clipped on or plants in the box with seed packets clipped on or as a mail inbox with stamps and out mail clipped to the knives.
Thanks again lakelover69 for all the goodies!! This swap was a lot of fun!

Afghani Heroin
Wednesday, 11 May 2005
My favourite literary quote:
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificates -- died of malnutrition -- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot.
The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quicklime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

This morning's sporting page carried a short announcement that Shaquille O'Neil has received an EdD doctorate in education, a 54 credit hours degree specifically in the area of Organizational Learning and Leadership. Shaq completed his undergraduate degree at LSU and later earned an MBA. Right on! As an NBA player who devoted his post basketball life to education, I applaud Shaq's interest in higher learning. I remember somewhere hearing that Shaq is also an honorary sheriff, and was considering going into law enforcement. Although his 7 foot body and huge bulk might have helped to lower the crime rate in Florida, I'm delighted Shaq chose to go forward in education.
However, I was sorry to read that the big man is not going to use that advanced degree and his expertise to improve the lives of our young people, that is, to actually go into the field of education and join teachers and administrators in the trenches. These days young people need models desperately, and well educated professional athletes are a group of men and women who could provide such models. Can you imagine the impact Shaq would have if he taught in a high school where there were lots of at-risk type students? Imagine O'Neil walking down the halls towering over the students, all of them looking up at him, probably smiling, laughing, and joking with him. Consider what a leg up he would have dispensing advice to students who need to hear sound advice. Shaq and any other retired pro athlete would have to take monumental pay cuts, but certainly guys like Shaq don't need more money. It's time for the great stars to give back to the communities that nurtured and idolized them. It's time for them to get into the hands-on business of helping youth. Having foundations are worthy efforts, but not enough.
When I was a teen in San Francisco my buddies and I used to play a lot of pool. I've always believed playing pool helped me with depth perception, which in turn helped me shooting baskets. But I might have been rationalizing because I enjoyed hanging out in pool halls, leaning on cue sticks, acting tough, and occasionaly sneaking a cigarette and a slug of beer with adults who didn't care that I was underage.
Here's a poem for Pool and my short life in pool halls.
Pool is a Godless Sport by James Haug
I like the articulate crack
the cue ball makes
on impact, how it drops
what it's after and backspins back,
the chalk skids
on its bald surface, blue
and hard as water
or your eyes, keen straight
down the line of the poolstick,
how the clogged air of lies
and smoke clears as you circle
the table, the next shot
plump on the rail, a duck.
You're on a roll, playing
collisions of intent and dumb luck.
We don't talk as I gather
a new game in the rack;
no one's put down quarters.
We could shoot hours here.
The bartender yawns and looks on,
pinball bangs a free ball.
We play off the angles, combinations,
the felt before each break
fresh as a promise,
and let the rolling goemetry
plot our next move.
What my musings are all about...
Blogging might well be the 21st century's form of journaling. As a writing teacher, I have always advised my students to keep a daily journal as a way of organizing their thoughts for future writing projects, a discipline I have unfortunately never consistently practiced myself. By blogging, I might finally be able to follow my own good advice.
The difference between journaling and blogging is that the blogger opens his or her writing to the public, something journal- writers are usually reluctant to do. I am not so reticent.
The trick for me will be to avoid cluttering the internet with more blather, something none of us need more of. If I stick to subjects I know: sports and literature, I believe I can avoid that pitfall. I can't promise that I'll not stray from time to time to comment on ancillary subjects, but I will make every attempt to be interesting and perhaps even insightful.

Congrats to Shaq

#TechFail2016: The most ridiculous online blunders of the Ted Cruz and Rand Paul campaigns (so far)
The Republican candidates for the 2016 presidential nomination are both off to rocky starts with their online campaigns.
Botched website rollouts, misspellings, copyright infringement and other issues are dogging both Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)'s attempts to establish their online presence for the year and a half of campaigning between now and Election Day.
Literally within hours of Ted Cruz's announcement that he would be running for the nomination, Internet users found that his campaign had neglected to buy up the proper domain names for its potential website.
Users who went to TedCruz.com were immediately redirected to a blank page that said only, "SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMA. IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW!"
The website TedCruzForAmerica.com currently sends visitors to the Obamacare website HealthCare.gov.
Things aren't going much better for Rand Paul, whose campaign rollout video was yanked by YouTube within 24 hours of its debut for copyright infringement.
According to the Washington Post, the video was flagged because it contained an unauthorized use of the song "Shuttin' Detroit Down" by country music artist John Rich.
Business Insider noted that the Paul campaign's official website made a typo in pretty much the worst possible place when they misspelled the word "education."
And BuzzFeed pointed out on Wednesday that the photos being posted by Paul's campaign as endorsements from around the country were actually stock photos from a German Shutterstock page. The images have since been taken down.
The Cruz campaign, we suppose, is making these errors because it's being run by the kind of people who have to get the 10-year-old from across the street to help them out when they forget their AOL passwords. For them, "Twitter" is still just a verb.
Rand Paul, on the other hand, probably has plenty of friends and supporters who understand how to use the Internet, but he just can't be bothered to do more than the bare minimum on anything, whether its hiring due diligence or even caring enough about a speech he's giving to make sure it hasn't been cribbed verbatim from Wikipedia.
Regardless of what causes these men and their teams of presumably lavishly paid advisors to make these types of amateur-hour errors, the GOP will doubtless provide us with endless entertainment in the year and a half ahead. As the rest of the occupants of the Republican clown car empty on to the field and come wobbling online, we will be treated to something akin to the sight of a group of people staggering into the lion cage at the zoo wearing suits made of pork chops.
Bon appetit!

Millwall boss Harris: Forde spoke to players after Gills loss
DAVID Forde spoke to the squad in the dressing room after Saturday's 3-0 Sky Bet League One defeat to Gillingham, his manager Neil Harris revealed.
Forde made his first appearance in the league since the 3-2 loss to Barnsley at The Den in August after Jordan Archer had been sent off for a professional foul.
The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper's first action was to pick the ball out of the net after Bradley Dack had scored the penalty awarded when Archer took out Cody McDonald in the box.
Harris said Forde had been "chomping at the bit" for his chance, while the Lions boss also hinted that he wasn't staisfied with Archer's preparation leading up to Saturday's contest against Justin Edinburgh's side.
"I was really pleased with Fordey," Harris said. "However experienced you are it's difficult to come off the bench, especially like that. He's been chomping at the bit to get his opportunity and his opportunity now rises on Boxing Day.
"I thought he came on and performed well, and he spoke well in the dressing room after the game also. He's a good leader and he's a good man.
"It's unfortunate for Jordan, he's done really well for us. He's a young man with a huge desire to get to the top. The slight errors he's made, I've not had a problem with. The slight errors that have led to a goal, he's going to learn.
"(Saturday) is just another learning curve for him. He'll learn that his concentration doesn't start on a Thursday or Friday or Saturday. His concentration starts the moment the last game finishes. He had a stop-start week and I think he'll learn from this week massively."
Meanwhile, Harris warned his squad he won't tolerate a repeat of the mistakes that lead to Dominic Samuel's double and Dack's penalty and that if his standards aren't met he will have no hesitation dropping players.
"I like players to take responsibility," Harris said. "I like them to own up to a mistake and be honest – but don't make the same mistake again. If players make the same mistake time and time again then they find themselves out of the team.
"I have standards, high standards I expect them to reach. They've set standards themselves at times this season with some very good performances. If they can't reach those standards on a very regular occurrence then there is no place for them at this football club."
Harris had no problem with referee Darren Handley's decision to send off Archer after the goalkeeper had also been involved in an earlier incident with Samuel that saw the striker booked for simulation: "I thought the second one was correct, the first one I couldn't see, I was too far away. The second one…I've been in that position myself, you nudge the ball past the goalkeeper and you're waiting for him to knock you over. It was a goalscoring opportunity."

Who Can Be Held Responsible in Medical Malpractice Claims?
If you or a loved one has suffered injury or illness due to negligence on the part of doctors, nurses or other hospital staff, you may pursue a case seeking compensation through a medical malpractice claim. However, determining the party to file the suit against might be difficult, because the liable party is not always the one you would initially expect.
Below is an overview of the parties who may be at fault for medical malpractice.
Hospitals may be liable for medical malpractice-related injuries if the negligent action leading to the injury was performed by an employee of the hospital. According to a legal principle known as "vicarious liability," the actions of an employee are the same, in essence, as those of the employer.
In general, nurses, medical technicians and various other support staff are employees of the hospital. If the employee was doing something related to his or her job, but was negligent and caused an injury, the patient can typically sue the hospital. For example, a nurse might inject the wrong form of medication through an IV, causing accidental harm to a patient.
In most cases, physicians are not actually employees of the hospital at which they work — they are independent contractors. This means the doctor would be considered liable for any injuries suffered through malpractice.
In some rare situations the physician might be considered an employee of the hospital. If, for example, the hospital mandates the doctor's hours and vacation time, or has control over the fees the doctor may charge, the physician is likely to be considered an employee rather than a contractor.
There are some exceptions to this rule. A hospital may be liable for the actions of a non-employee doctor if it did not clearly state that the doctor is not an employee of the hospital. That is why this information is usually provided to patients on admission forms.
If you have suffered an injury due to medical malpractice in West Virginia, you have a two-year statute of limitations during which time you can file your claim. For more information about how to move ahead with a medical malpractice lawsuit, call Calwell Luce diTrapano PLLC at 304-400-6558 or contact our West Virginia law firm online to schedule an appointment.

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone across the district who took part in the elections last month.
I am honoured to have been re-elected as Leader of Wakefield Council by the Labour Group and you have my absolute commitment that I will continue to put you, our residents and customers, at the very heart of everything we do.
It is with this in mind that I would like to share some of the concerns I have about the health and wellbeing of the district.
I spend a lot of time listening to people, of all ages, from all parts of the district, and one of the key challenges many are facing are health related.
Weight and health issues are alarmingly on the rise. Over 183,000 adults in this district are classed as overweight, and even more worryingly, two out of every 10 of our children – that's about 650 - are obese when they leave primary school, aged 11.
Although fewer people in the district are smoking we still have about 65,300 adults who are smokers, and last year, around 8,700 people were admitted to hospital for alcohol related conditions.
The impact on people's quality of life can be truly dreadful.
Life-changing and life-limiting illnesses are a real and harsh consequence of being overweight, smoking or drinking to excess.
The risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and strokes is significantly increased, along with depression.
There are other impacts on our district, especially the NHS.
It is estimated that over £63m is spent by the NHS treating obesity related illnesses in Wakefield.
Campaign group ASH (Action on Smoking and Health) believes that smoking costs the district's economy approximately £105m a year and Alcohol Concern estimates that healthcare costs in Wakefield, attributable to alcohol, are approximately £18m a year.
Keeping healthy is not about the 'nanny state' and I firmly believe it is the responsibility of an individual to take the necessary steps to look after their own health – if they want to.
But, I also want to find out what we, as a council, can do to support our residents who want to make more healthy choices.
I accept that this isn't for everyone, but if people have health issues and want to make changes then let's find out how we can help.
If you have made changes to your life, which have resulted in improvements to your health and well-being, I would be very interested to hear from you.
Maybe your experience will enable us to identify the support we can offer to other people, or inspire others to make changes?
If we work together on this then we have a better chance of helping, those who want to, to improve the quality of their lives and maybe even save their lives.

Late field goal lifts Patriots over Eagles in last-second thriller
CLAIREMONT MESA – With Santa Fe Christian and Christian deadlocked in the last minute of the Division V finals on Friday night, two field goal attempts in the final 28 seconds decided the championship. Christian kicker Mason Powell connected on a game-winning 37-yard field goal with 28 seconds left to lift the Patriots to a 32-29 upset at Mesa College and their first section title since 2006.
"I just did my thing practicing kicks on the sideline and left it up to them. They did their job and brought it down the field for me, so I put it through the uprights," Powell said. "I knew I had to do it for my team."
Following Powell's kick, top-seeded Santa Fe Christian (11-2) quickly drove the ball to set up a Drew Shields 41-yard field goal attempt with 2.7 seconds left. The kick missed wide left, sending second-seeded Christian's sideline into a frenzy.
"I don't think anybody thought we were going to win but us. But we believed in ourselves and we felt like we were right there with them," said Christian head coach Matt Oliver. "Everything came together at the perfect time for us."
In the last minute of a back-and-forth third quarter, Christian (10-3) took a 22-21 lead on a Shane Dillon one-yard touchdown run. Following a Santa Fe Christian punt, the Patriots extended their lead to eight points with a Dillon 82-yard touchdown strike to receiver Phillip George with 5:50 remaining.
"Phillip came over to the sidelines and said the corner covering him was jumpy, so if he ran a hitch-and-go he was going to jump it," Dillon said. "We tried it and all the credit goes to him – he called it."
Santa Fe Christian tied the game on the ensuing possession with a 68-yard scoring drive. The Eagles capped the tying drive with a Tony Miro two-yard touchdown run and successful two-point conversion run by quarterback Connor Moore.
"We traded shots throughout the game," said Santa Fe Christian head coach Nick Ruscetta. "With these teams it's always this kind of game."
With 3:50 left, Christian started the game-winning drive from its own 20-yard line. The biggest play of the drive was a 48-yard pass on third-and-long from Dillon to freshman receiver Seth Collins, who made a spectacular diving catch along the sideline.
"Shane was scrambling, I just waived my hand in the air and he threw it to me," Collins said. "I don't think I was running fast enough because I had to lay out for it."
In the first quarter, Santa Fe Christian had a seven-point lead and the momentum after stopping Christian on fourth down at the 15-yard line. On the next play the Patriots scored their first points with a safety, tackling Santa Fe Christian receiver Cole Needham in the end zone for a 15-yard loss.
After the safety, Christian drove down the field and took the lead on a Dillon 10-yard pass to receiver Jason Gaines. Dillon threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns, finishing the season with 3,106 yards to become the section's first 3,000-yard passer since 2006.
"He was a great leader tonight, and he really showed his leadership on the field and off the field – in the pregame stuff in the locker room and on the sidelines," Oliver said.
Santa Fe Christian led by five at halftime, and Christian caught a break at the start of the third quarter when Eagles defensive back Troy Zarubin mishandled a squib kickoff and George recovered the ball at the 30-yard line. A minute later, Trenton Sauls put the Patriots ahead 16-14 with a 17-yard touchdown run.
"We were terrible on special teams in the first game and tonight it kind of won it for us – we recovered a fumble on the kickoff, we covered the kicks well, and the big field goal to win," Oliver said.
Christian won its eighth section title in school history by avenging a 14-point regular season loss to Santa Fe Christian. The Patriots snapped the Eagles' 11-game winning streak with the last-second victory.
"They're such a big rival and they're a good football team," Oliver said. "We knew we had a good game plan and if we could hang close we thought we had some playmakers that could make things happen late."

I am not aware of any attempts to use XML with Bobo so far, so I decided to strike out on my own. I have made a first attempt at a sort of integration of XML and DTML, with the goal of being able to manipulate the representation of an XML document via DTML, which could then be published by Bobo. I would love feedback anyone who is interested by this type of thing, and especially from people who understand XML better that I do ;-) You can get the code and find out more at: http://starship.skyport.net/crew/amos/xml_hack.html Thanks. -Amos ------------------------------------------------------------ Amos Latteier Consulting mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com http://www.aracnet.com/~amos tel:503.232.3814

Each party I tell myself that I will get better and quicker with posting pics, but here I am 4 months after the party.. again!!
About the Day!
Way back in early April (honestly it feels like forever ago) we had Mr T Christened.
As with the other two kidlets, we head back to the very same church where we were married to perform the ceremony. The day itself was a really small affair, we only had immediate family and the godparents.
This year we were fortunate enough to have a late morning service, which meant that instead of the usual morning tea to follow, we had a lunch (and a sleep in!) back at our place.
What we ate...
Hubby came up with the genius idea of getting our fave local Italian restaurant to cater. So we feasted on pizzas, pastas and salads and my goodness it was SO easy as we picked it all up on the way home from the service!
Of course I couldn't resist a super simple little cake/dessert table to follow the lunch...
So simple (and on a budget), but of course I had to have a theme! So hot air balloon in shades of blue and yellow it was.
Little details...
The cake and the cookies were from my amazing friend Sharmila at Sweet Creations by Sharms.
The cupcakes and the jelly pots I did along with a small selection of lollies for guests to take home.
I also wrapped the chocolate bars myself in some gift wrap and popped a little cloud cut out on that I stamped with a little t. Simple but pretty cute!
The decorations were all done (very) last minute the night before!
Would you believe the little man is one next WEEK?! Me either. So I am right in the thick of party planning for that but definitely not feeling utterly organised at all!
If you'd like to see some of our other baptism themes or 1st birthday party celebrations, you can see those posts here. Thank you for stopping by!

JLL and Roger Staubach betting on the Broncos
For the fourth straight year, JLL and our Executive Chairman, Roger Staubach, are taking sides when it comes to the Big Game, betting on the Denver Broncos to outman the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday night.
While the talking heads and Vegas odds makers look to point differentials, QB ratings and other on-the-field stats, Staubach and our JLL team are once again sticking with what we know best — commercial real estate — to make our pick.
According to our analysis of the last 13 season finale games, teams based in cities with the higher office vacancy rate (i.e. more space available for lease) have won the Lombardi Trophy 62 percent of the time, including last February when Baltimore (15.5 percent vacancy) edged San Francisco (11.8 percent vacancy). This year, the overall vacancy rate in the Mile High city stands at 13.9 percent compared with 12.5 percent in the Emerald City, making the Broncos the firm's favorite to win the crown:
"Peyton Manning is one of the greatest NFL quarterbacks of all time," Staubach said. "I believe in our JLL formula, but more importantly, I also believe in Peyton and I know he's going to get the job done for the Broncos and the great people of Denver on Sunday night. I love Seattle's 'D,' I love [quarterback] Russell Wilson and I love 'The 12th Man,'" he said. "But this is Denver's year."

These two books have inspired the name of my collection. The study of complex things being simple and visa versa has become quite a movement, with many interesting layers. My work naturally follows the concept of a simple idea with a complex out come and/or look and not until reading these did I realise. I got the Jeffrey Kluger book for 1p on Amazon, bargain!
MILAN 2009 - Collection
Purewhytes debut collection will launch at the Milan furniture fair 2009 during Salone del Mobile.
Purewhyte will be showing with Designersblock at Revel Scalo d'Isola, Via Thaon De Revel 3, 20159 Milano (Zona Isola) from 22nd to the 27th April 2009.
Drew dining table & Coat stand
The Drew Dining Table is made from a continuous piece of steel tubing, creating an intricate and intriguing table, that verges on forming an optical illusion that is visible from all angles thanks to the tempered clear glass top that the base supports.
The Drew Coat stand uses the same design language as the table, but the form has been manipulated to allow for 6 apposing hooks to be created. Both designs will be on display in Milan are fully assembled items, but a flat pack solution can also be provided upon request.
The initial concept was hand modelled from wire, with many generations created before the final shape was selected. After the solution has been finalised, a complex 3D computer model was created, and then a suitable metalwork supplier found for the production of the sample.
Table: 105 x 105 x 72cm
Coat stand: 37 x 170cm
Hound occasional tables
These small quirky occasional tables tessellate together creating larger tables. Inspired by origami folds and traditional Japanese patters, various shapes and arrangements can be formed to cater for any need, or the table can simply be used on its own.
Solid colour and also patterned options will be on display during the Milan Fair. The tables are available in 4 colours, allowing the customer to mix and match, or for them to purchase a single colour to cater for any interior.
The tables stack, allowing for easy shipment, and also easy storage within the home. The considered design allows for very little material waste. The tables are Powdercoated mild steel, sampled by Acorn Laser Newcastle, the table will also shortly be available in other materials, with plywood, and an acrylic option available in the very near future.
Dims :
50 x 50 x 48cm per table
Gordo Pendant light
Purewhyte always tries to exploit the properties of the material they are working in, pushing it and the manufactures abilities to the limit, developing processes that have not been done before.
Purewhyte is able to provide not only a design concept, but also a sound technical foundation that ensures that item can be produced. The Gordo pendant light is a prime example of this, with numerous suppliers rejecting the concept when shown the computer renderings and sketches, until a company that was willing to take up the challenge was found. This partnership was rewarded with a strikingly beautiful design.
The round 'space age' shape and experimental manufacture inspired the name "Gordo", after the first monkey into space!
Currently available only in clear borosilicate glass, but Purewhyte is currently involved in developing an enamelled colour range along with Table lamp and Floor lamp version.
30 x 30 x 28cm
