You already know how much I love food exploring and how REAL the cravings get over here. So today's mission was to check out this hole in the wall (because that's almost always where the delicious food is) and to of course grab some dessert after.
This place – Soul of Korea – somehow ended up on my list (me and my lists!) but I'm so glad that it did. We had the bibimbob and the pajeon (korean pancake). I recommend both! Those 2 dishes for 2 people were just enough and the price for it all was awesome.
We left room for dessert over course and headed over to bobacup for a little something sweet. We were super disappointed that they didn't have the egg waffles on their menu but that totally didn't stop us. I recommend the crepe with the nutella, bananas and strawberries. What I didn't do that you should do and that I will definitely do next time is get ice cream too because what's a crepe without ice cream right?
Have you discovered any new places recently??? Share in the comments below please 🙂

Are you ready for some MARGARET ATWOOD!?!?!?
(You should be.)
Specifically, let's review A Handmaid's Tale.
Have I read this before: Indeed. I think I read this in the summer between high school and college. I'm too lazy to check my blog archive. HOW'S THAT FOR OVERACHIEVING?
Review: This book? It's great…until the ending. I don't know if it's just me or if this is something that other people have thought about this book, but I was totally gung-ho and loving everything up until—quite literally—the last two pages. And that was the case both the first time I read it and this last time. I was thinking, during this last read, that my dislike for the ending might just have been because I was 18 and stupid and didn't appreciate the way the story was finished. BUT NOPE! I got to those last two pages, everything ended, and I was like, "oh. Right. This." Seriously. The whole book, save those last two pages, is fantastic. But maybe that's just how I see it. Maybe you'd like the whole thing. Give it a read and see.
Favorite part: Anything but the ending.
Rating: 5/10 (because of the ending)

Letter to the Baltimore Sun:
I just read Rosalind Ellis' recent letter regarding the expansion of Beans and Bread ("Neighbors right to worry about Beans and Bread," Nov. 2). It is obvious to me that Ms. Ellis does not personally know anyone who is homeless or out of a job and on the verge of homelessness.
She states the "many who came to Our Daily Bread were drug abusers, shoplifters and aggressive panhandlers" and that the "filthy tent city housed criminals who broke into cars and shoplifted throughout the area." Apparently she considers the homeless to be the criminal element of our city. It seems to me from reading the newspaper that the greater majority of drug abusers, shoplifters and criminals are listed with addresses. Very few are listed as homeless.
She writes that the "bureaucracy" cares "nothing about the neighborhoods" and "no consideration is given to communities … or to folks who put their life savings and 'sweat equity' into improving their homes." Has she met some of these people she considers to be such criminals? You will find your share of those who put their life savings and sweat equity into their homes, too, only to end up losing them because the company they worked for had to cut back. I have, and have had, friends who, through no fault of their own, lose their job and spend months or years trying every day to find a job only to be told "we're not hiring right now" or that they overqualified or they don't have the right "specialty."
I really don't think that the homeless are coming from all over the country to take advantage of Charm City's largesse. But God bless the people of Charm City who care enough to give of their time and their dollars so that those less fortunate can have a hot meal once a day, a bed out of the cold or heat or rain, and an opportunity to try and improve their situation at one of those "adjunct services."
She states "Beans and Bread shouldn't worry some neighbors, it should worry the entire city." I think Beans and Bread, and the city, should worry about people who think like Ms. Ellis.

Canadian diet is for those who want to lose weight quickly. During one week you can lose 8 – 11 lb if you follow these rules.
The urban legend says that the "inventors" of this diet were Canadian immigrants who were fed this way and thus maintained their body weight in the harsh conditions of the north. So the Canadian diet is based on vegetable soups that calm the hunger and help to extract excess fluid and fat deposits.
Canadian Diet – Rules
The main requirement of this diet is – the ban on consuming any food after 18.00h (or better at 17.00h) in the evening. This diet also follows physical activity. Again legend says: Ancient Canadians have not rested. Take a look at them and practice regularly. This will help to make the effect of this diet even better. While on this diet you need to drink about 2 liters of water a day to throw out toxins. You can drink unsweetened and fresh, squeezed juices from fruits and vegetables.
During this diet, it is recommended to take vitamins and minerals. To add fat to your body, it is recommended to add one tablespoon of olive oil to the soup of vegetables – once a day. The most common way of preparing food in this diet is cooking. The most commonly used vegetables are cabbage, carrots, onions, tomatoes, leeks, peppers and beans. Make a vegetable soup. So, unlike the cabbage diet where there is a clear recipe for soup – here is freedom: use the vegetables you want (of course, vegetables do not include legumes and potatoes), place the quantity you want (according to your taste) and make a vegetable soup! The spice is allowed a moderate amount of salt, pepper, ale pepper and spice herbs.
Soup is eaten at least once a day, and you can eat all three meals. The amount is – how much you like, and in case of hunger – eat a plate of soup. In addition to vegetables, you can eat salads with olive oil but no starchy vegetables. Everything else during diet isn't allowed.
These foods you can consume as much as it is enough for you. Don't overeat, get up from the table while still feel a sense of lightness in the stomach.
During this diet you should avoid potatoes. According to the authors of this diet – the use of starch can slow down the weight loss process and reduce the effect of this diet. It is not desirable to consume corn and peas regularly. Use them occasionally in small quantities.
It is not allowed to eat food between meals, nor to make long breaks, or to have irregular meals. At least three meals are preferred, and there are no problems with 6 – three main and three snacks.
In order to maintain the weight achieved and avoid kilograms returning without straining the stomach, after the diet it is necessary to gradually increase the caloric intake and slowly enter into the diet what was forbidden to you during the diet.

FROSTPROOF — There was no happy Hollywood ending for the Frostproof Bulldogs Friday night.
Senior quarterback Josh Jenkins was stopped just inches short of the goal line on a two-point conversion try with 6.4 seconds to play as visiting Wildwood hung on for a 28-27 triumph over the Bulldogs, avenging a loss to Frostproof in the opening round of the Class 1A playoff last fall.
"Have you ever seen 'Friday Night Lights', that last scene? That's exactly what it felt like. It just came up short," Jenkins said. "Coach said if we were going to do it, it was going to be in my hands."
Shannon Benton, Frostproof's fifth-year coach, said there was little question about going for the win, or about who would get the ball.
"I think it was the right call," Benton said. "We were inches away. We we're fighting all night, we were down so many guys, you gotta play. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. That's just the way it is. (Jenkins) is the guy that needs the ball there. In your dreams, you have it going a little differently, but we finished to the last second. That's all you can ask for."
Frostproof pulled to within a point on a 35-yard pass from Jenkins to Darriel Davis, who broke a couple of tackles near the 10-yard line to put his team in position for a win. The Bulldogs opened the second half with a seven-minute drive capped when Jenkins hit Davis from 11 yards out for a 21-14 lead.
Wildwood took the lead with 56 seconds to play on a 12-yard pass from Nate Mickell to Marcus Nilback.
The teams alternated two touchdowns each in the first two quarters, the last coming with just 27 seconds to go before intermission when Bennie Spry hauled in a 14-yard pass from Jenkins to lift the Bulldogs into a 14-14 tie.
Wildwood opened the scoring on a 4-yard pass from Mikell to Nilblack, and added their second TD on a 7-yard run from T.J. Snowden.
Frostproof got its first points when offensive lineman Roman Mancillas jumped on a loose ball in the endzone after Jenkins fumbled at the 5-yard line after a long run.

Top Dawn Staley recruiting target recaps official visit
South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley had a big recruiting weekend with several of her top targets on campus for official visits.
One of those was 6-foot-2 Aquira DeCosta of Sacramento, Calif. She also has visited Southern Cal and Louisville and put this visit with the Gamecocks right up at the top.
"I loved everything about USC," DeCosta said. "The campus is beautiful, the coaching staff are loving and great people, the team is absolutely amazing. The program is very well set up and I really enjoyed my time there."
DeCosta will visit Tennessee officially this weekend then take her final official visit to Baylor Oct. 6. She has not indicated a favorite.
"The Gamecocks fit into my recruiting situation after my visit just from the fact how I play really suits what they do and how they like to play," she said.
▪ USC is in the top three with 2019 DE Ani Izuchukwu of Hendersonville, Tenn. He also has Alabama and Ohio State on his short list.
▪ USC offered 2019 DB Anthony Harris of Havelock, NC. He also has offers from East Carolina, NC State, Southern Miss and Coastal Carolina.
▪ USC men's basketball target Zion Williamson of Spartanburg Day did not make his Kentucky official visit over the weekend, according to Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio. Jones reported Williamson will reschedule with Kentucky. Williamson is scheduled to visit Kansas this weekend.

Wonder what it's like to have your restaurant run efficiently with employees being on time, with or without you being there? Perhaps, even award monthly/quarterly/yearly punctuality rewards for your employees? If you are opening a restaurant, or have operational restaurant, then you are very well familiar with the consequences of haphazard employee scheduling, inconsistency with late arrival and/or, confusion caused due to employees trading shifts. Adopting a Point of Sale (POS) system does more than what you imagine. At Petpooja, India's #1 restaurant POS software, you get employee scheduling, 20+ instant reports, analysis, state-of-the-art Billing & KOT features, menu management, inventory management, in-built discount features and much more. But the question which rarely gets answered is: how can a restaurant POS software help to improve efficiency and avoid manipulation, and fraud, at a restaurant? Here is how:
It is the nervous system of any restaurant, without which your business would simply be paralyzed. A restaurant POS software brings in transparency of data across all departments of your restaurant.
With clear and easily fetched data from your computer screen, you have access to instant reports which gives you an insight into operation in real time. For instance, reports at Petpooja include: item wise summary, category wise summary (Indian vs Continental), coupon summary, daily sales report and more to easily access from your POS screen.
These reports give you an overall picture of your restaurant and sheer ability to analyze the current picture. This further helps you make faster and more informed decisions, awareness of risk, implementation of preventive measures, better understand of customer requirement (such as most selling item) further enhancing customer relationship, and better insight into financial operations of your restaurant.
As discussed earlier, a restaurant POS software makes your life and work easier by doing all the hard work for employee scheduling. For instance, by adopting a restaurant POS software you get to create staff schedule online, which gives you flexibility to handle more important issues at hand and never lets your restaurant be understaffed. This creates more accountability among your employees breeding punctuality and eradicate human errors.
Yes! You can reduce the long waiting lines, which are known to reduce customer footfall and move forward by boosting sales from anywhere at your restaurant with mobile/tablet apps. With Petpooja restaurant POS software, you get to view tables in real time with our Live Table feature, and notice the turnaround time. In other words, you can visualize tables getting empty from your tablet/mobile app, while you engage in conversations with your customers at the waiting area. It's that simple!
In a nutshell, operating a retail business is no easy feat and the challenges often seem insurmountable. However, a POS software is a complete solution addressing challenges of all sort and gives you a competitive edge in the market. On the contrary, restaurant who do not adopt sufficient software are essentially leaving money and time on the table. Furthermore, cloud-based restaurant POS software gives you flexibility to move around, are easy to learn and affordably works for all sizes of restaurants. Inventory errors, misunderstood customers, lack of employees, depleting revenues due to fraud, or manipulation, and mundane traditional methods should not be costing your sales, money and/or business growth. Ultimately, a POS system gives you more time to manage, employees are able to focus more on customer service and you get to reign in harmony.
Petpooja worked as a single interface for more than 500 corporates to order food from multiple restaurants for couple of years and it was because of intense research, and support from restaurants that we were able to build a comprehensive POS software, which was easy to understand, cost & time effective and addressed challenges which plagued growth of restaurants. With 18 years combined experience between Petpooja founders in service industry, supply chain, operations, financial modeling, venture capital and customer relationship, you can be rest assured you restaurant is bound to success.

Where are the promised changes to the Special Character legislation from Hitman Hipkins? The only way there can be a genuine option for a pathway that doesn't involve closure for Partnership schools is if the promised changes are made.?In a press release yesterday Chris Hipkins stated:
"The Bill repeals legislation that allows for future charter schools.
"It also includes provision for existing charter schools to operate under their contracts while the Ministry discusses possible options, including in the state system, on a case-by-case basis.
"My preferred option is to explore early termination of contracts by mutual agreement. Operators wanting to be involved in education can apply to me to establish another form of school, such as a designated character school. As part of this process, applications would need to meet the relevant requirements.
Currently, the relevant requirements are such that no Partnership schools currently operating will be able to meet them. Without the promised changes to the legislation, the entire process is a smokescreen for Labour's cold-blooded determination to?terminate all the schools.
"If however, early termination is not agreed by both parties, I am reserving my right to issue a notice of ?termination for convenience?, under charter schools? existing contracts, by the middle of May 2018. This would take effect at the end of the school year."
In other words, you either go along with the fiction that the closure was mutually agreed upon by both parties or I will not honour the government's existing contract with you. This is SHOCKING stuff. In a democracy, new governments are expected to honour existing contracts. They do not have to renew them but to force schools to close who have 2-3 years still to run on their contracts is outrageous and surely illegal?
This information has been released even though neither Chris Hipkins nor the Ministry has?had a conversation with the schools. Where is the openness and transparency that was promised? This is a fait accompli where no respect has been shown whatsoever for the Partnership schools. There has been no consultation or discussions, just Stasi like dictates from on high.
Previous to Education minister Chris Hipkins' press release yesterday the message in the MSM was totally different. Leading up to last year's election several Labour MP's? including Chris Hipkins made significant statements:
Labour to 'tweak' special character schools, save charter schools from closure […]
Under a Labour-led government charter schools will be repealed and the party's education spokesman Chris Hipkins [now Minister of Education] said the options on the table for those schools would be anything from "closure to integration into the state school system".
[…] On Monday, responding to Davis' pledge to resign over them, Hipkins said "tweaks" would be made so there weren't any "unnecessary barriers" for new special character schools.
But it would be fair to say discussions with some of the charter school operators has highlighted the problems with the special character model as it stands now."
Under the special character changes Hipkins said it was "quite possible" the charter schools operating in Davis' electorate would meet the criteria to transition.
[…] Labour's Te Tai Tokerau MP Kelvin Davis [now an Associate Minister of Education] has promised he'll resign before the two charter schools in his Northland electorate are closed. He says it's an easy promise to make because the schools will only change in name.
[…] A commitment?to keep charter schools open was also made in May?by?Labour list candidate Willie Jackson, who was heavily involved with Te Kura Maori o Waatea, a charter school based in South Auckland.
Late last year?during question time in Parliament Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was equally positive citing only three change requirements (NZ Curriculum, registered teachers, and same levels of funding which in many situations would mean more funding for the Charter Schools). These requirements are easily met for all Partnership schools currently operating.
The PM's key statement was:
We are working alongside those schools to make sure that they have a pathway to remain open, we're not asking much from them.
Why then is Hitman Hipkins and the Ministry of Education telling Partnership schools via a press release that there is no transition option and that their contracts will be "terminated"?
New Zealand Partnership schools are successful and have waiting lists. They are providing alternative education that is desperately needed. They are looking for support from Chris Hipkins to change the Special Character legislation (as promised) so that they can transition (as promised).
If you agree with me that's nice, but what I really want to achieve is to make you question the status quo, look between the lines and do your own research. Do not be a passive observer in this game we call life.

Contributed by Dr. Steven Devor, Head MIT/FF Physiologist
A carbohydrate loading diet for endurance athletes can be a highly effective strategy to increase the amount of fuel (i.e., glycogen) stored in your skeletal muscles and liver in order to improve your running performance. Carbohydrate loading generally involves greatly increasing the amount of carbohydrates you eat a few days before a high intensity endurance athletic event. You also typically scale back your activity level during carbohydrate loading, what we refer to as the final taper phase the week of your event.
As I have discussed many times, any physical activity or exercise you do requires an adequate intake of dietary carbohydrates to provide your skeletal muscles with the necessary fuel to function at their peak capacity. For most recreational activity, your body utilizes its existing energy stores in the skeletal muscles and liver for fuel. But when you engage in long, intense endurance events (greater than 90 minutes – a half or full marathon), your body needs more carbohydrate than what is stored normally in your skeletal muscles and liver. The purpose of carbohydrate loading is to provide your tissues with the additional storage to complete an endurance event with less fatigue, and thereby hopefully improving your running performance.
It is worth mentioning that carbohydrate loading is most beneficial if you are an endurance athlete — such as a half or full marathon runner, distance swimmer, or distance cyclist — preparing for an event that will last 90 minutes or more. Other athletes generally do not require the additional glycogen that is able to be stored during carbohydrate loading. For events that are less than 90 minutes we have learned through research that it is enough to simply eat a diet that derives at least half or more of its calories from carbohydrates.
Your skeletal muscles (primary storage area) and liver (secondary storage area) normally store enough glycogen for approximately 90 minutes of endurance exercise. So if you exercise intensely for more than 90 minutes, your muscles may run out of glycogen. At that point, you may start to become fatigued in your skeletal muscles, and your performance will likely suffer.
With carbohydrate loading you are able to increase glycogen storage, what we term as "super-compensation", in your skeletal muscles and liver. In a super-compensated state you will be advantaged to make it through longer endurance events without overwhelming muscle fatigue. However, you still will need to consume some energy sources during your event. So on race day stick your normal plan for hydration with a carbohydrate electrolyte beverage (e.g., Gatorade) and gel packets if that is what you typically practice.
There are traditionally two primary steps to properly carbohydrate load your skeletal muscles and liver. And these two steps are best followed the week your endurance event is going to happen.
Step 1. Approximately seven days before your event, adjust your carbohydrate intake, if needed, so that it is no more than 50% to 55% of your total calories. Do this for two days. For the next two days decrease your carbohydrate intake down to no more than 40% of your daily total calories. Increase both protein and fat intake to compensate for the decrease in carbohydrate consumption. Continue your training with your normal race week tapering.
This four day dietary adjustment in your carbohydrate intake will deplete your skeletal muscle and liver carbohydrate storage, and make room for the loading phase that comes next.
Step 2. Three days before the event, increase your carbohydrate intake to approximately 70 percent of your daily calories. Do this for two days. The day before your race increase carbohydrate intake to approximately 75% of your daily calories. In order to make room for this additional carbohydrate intake, cut back on foods higher in fat to compensate for the extra carbohydrate rich foods. Once again, continue with your normal race week tapering
How much actual carbohydrate you will require depends entirely on your total daily calorie intake goal. For most endurance athletes we know that 6 to 9 grams of carbohydrate daily per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight is correct.
There is the potential for mistakes with carbohydrate loading. We know that many endurance athletes that attempt to carbohydrate load fail to achieve their goal. Through the years I have observed and noted several common mistakes, which include:
Stay well, and best wishes for your continued training success.

Navin's Housing & Properties –Preparing the traditional real-estate industry for better technical adoption!
About Navin's Housing & Properties
The name that is behind some of the most uber cool apartments in Chennai, Navin's is truly a brand that is well-known in the real-estate business of the capital city. Since its inception in 1989, Navin's has grown tremendously and carved a niche position for itself among intense competition. It has been a pioneer in adopting trade certifications and an exemplary in showcasing ethical business practices in an otherwise non-regularized business environment.
Habile Technologies has further pushed the bar for this classic business organisation by allowing them to embrace technology like never before in the industry.
Running against an industry setup that is marked by uncertainty and volatility, Navin's is always under constant pressure to take the right marketing decisions. With the mushrooming of several small players in the sector and the city of Chennai opening up it remotest areas for residential settlements, the prevailing uncertainty only seemed to get worse. People were hesitant to spend time travelling long distances and the state-wide real estate sector seemed to witness a dip.
Navin's knew that it needed innovation to bring in a change. It realised that brochures, pamphlets, TV commercials weren't enough to pull the crowd. It needed technology to showcase itself as a leader in the industry but however the right tool and approach to the problem remained an enigma.
When Navin's decided to trust Habile Technologies with the issue, the latter was determined to bring in an innovative solution that will put Navin's onto the highest pedestal of recognition in the fragmented industry.
On September 12, 2012, LIC Housing Finance threw a property fair that lasted for three days. All major as well as budding real-estate organisations from across Tamil Nadu participated in the event to promote their properties. Navin's was also a part of the show and was the only stall that had managed to queue up more than a hundred visitors from the fair – thanks to Virtual Reality.
Habile Technologies which was behind the entire project right from sourcing the virtual reality device Oculus through shooting the footages of Navin's properties to making them device-friendlyempowered the real estate giant to garner much appreciation and recognition in one of the biggest events in Chennai.
The device (Oculus Rift SDK) was placed in the stall and people looking for prospective deals queued in large numbers to view some of the exclusive properties of Navin's through the virtual reality device.
With the satisfaction of having spent its marketing budget towards an innovative and a first-of-its-kind campaign, Navin's added yet another feather to its hat.
The top benefits of the virtual reality device that helped break stereotypical methods of real estate marketing were,
- An immersive experience that allows customers to feel the "as good as viewing in person" experience.
- The portable device eliminates the need to travel to the site but instead brings home the footages of the desired apartment that is fed into the virtual reality device for a complete 360* experience. This saves much time and effort for the customer and encourages them to speed up the purchasing process.
- Brochures and pamphlets explain a house in terms of numbers (such as 10 x 20 feet) which is difficult to comprehend. With virtual reality, customers get the perfect idea about the actual size of the house and its various rooms.
- An outstanding crowd pulling strategy for BTL activities.
Habile Technologies loves new technology and owns the expertise and passion to explore the new ways of digitalisation and turn them into favourable solutions for its clients.

I'd like to welcome Linda Rae Sande, author of The Brothers of the Aristocracy: Boxed Set to my blog today.
RW: Tell us about yourself, your family, where you live, etc.
LRS: Thanks for having me, Rochelle! I'm a single nerd who loves action/adventure movies and hockey. I used to work as a technical writer in 3D graphics and animation, so I still follow that industry. During the day, I run a small print shop and at night I write books. Although I used to have tropical fish, I live alone in Cody, Wyoming.
RW: How many hours a day do you spend writing?
LRS: Usually around two hours, although I've been known to do a six-hour marathon on a weekend day. I still have a day job, but I don't know that I would write more than I do if I wasn't employed full-time.
RW: Why did you decide to write? What genre was it?
LRS: I've been a writer for years, usually because my jobs as a technical writer have required the skill, but I was a reader first. I love books! I love how I can escape this reality just by opening a book and reading. My passion was science fiction when I was growing up and in high school, but a friend used to pass me her historical romances. There were a few of those that made me think I could do a better job. I mentioned it to a distant relative, and she basically dared me to write Regencies. About the same time, I was doing genealogical research and discovered information about ancestors who lived in England. Imagining their stories drove me to write novels set in the Regency era.
RW: Has your life changed since you became a writer?
LRS: Oh, yes! Mostly due to the added travel, since I attend several book conventions every year. I love meeting readers as well as interacting with other authors and industry professionals. It's a great opportunity to get out of the writing cave and learn what's going on in the publishing world.
RW: Who are your favorite characters among the books you've written?
LRS: George Bennett-Jones (who debuted in The Kiss of a Viscount and appears in several more) was one of my first beta heroes. He's the guy I wish I had in my life. He takes great pride in seeing to it his wife is happy.
The other favorite would be Samantha Fitzsimmons, the daughter of a viscountess. She's artistic and smart and takes things as they come. As a young lady in the Regency era, she makes the best of what would be a frustrating experience for any modern woman.
RW: Would you like to write a different genre or sub-genre than you do now?
LRS: Not yet. I still have plenty of characters who need their stories written, so I'll be sticking with Regencies for awhile.
RW: If I were a first-time reader of your books, which one would you recommend I start with and why?
LRS: The Passion of a Marquess is just a great tale of two castaways on a deserted island, so although it's mostly about them and how they deal with their situation, there are background characters who are also frantic to find them. Those background characters are common to the other books.
I love that my readers appreciate the world in which these books take place. They seem to like revisiting familiar characters.
RW: What book for you has been the easiest to write? The hardest? The most fun?
LRS: The Story of a Baron was the easiest. It's a book-within-a-book, and since my books all feature at least two couples, this one allowed one of the couples to read a book (and fall in love as they did so) that featured the other couple (who were so mismatched, it didn't look as if they would get their HEA). This one combined my love of reading with some fun characters.
Tuesday Nights was the most difficult. Its timeline is necessarily long, and although I would have preferred to tell it in a series of flashbacks, there were just too many for a reader to have to track. The main character in that one, Michael Cunningham, is an excellent businessman, but he can't keep track of his own life. Readers complain that he seems dumb as a rock, but we all know men like that—men who are great at their jobs but who don't remember birthdays or anniversaries or who lose track of time.
The most fun book to write was The Gossip of an Earl. By the time I wrote it, I had a world of diverse characters who could all share their dismay at being featured in a weekly gossip newspaper—and do something about it.
RW: What do you do to relax and recharge your batteries?
LRS: Go to the movies! I prefer watching them on the big screen, in a theatre, where I can't be distracted by anything.
RW: If you were to create your own fantasy land, how would you describe it?
LRS: Rolling hills of green grass that never needs to be mowed are dotted with trees that keep their leaves year-round. The weather is always late spring, and the stone and stucco cottages never need maintenance. Every one has a huge library filled with books, and there is at least one large-screen TV. The internet connections are all lightning speed. The weekly order of groceries is delivered to your front door, and someone who loves to cook makes all the meals. The movie theatre is within walking distance. And everyone does for a living what they have a passion to do.
RW: Those are all the questions I have for you. Thank you for speaking to me.
LRS: Thanks so much, Rochelle!
The Brothers of the Aristocracy: Boxed Set
Three RONE Award nominees make up this set. The Love of a Rake features two rakes, two horses, and two not-so-marriage-minded women who just need a bit of horse sense. When brothers trade places, one is bound to fall in love in the name of the other in The Caress of a Commander. An explorer searches for a missing duke and finds ancient artifacts, pirates, and Aphrodite in The Epiphany of an Explorer.
Excerpt from The Caress of a Commander
"It appears as if this palm tree has decided to claim the next dance with you. Perhaps you'll grant me the one after that?"
Lucida's eyes widened when she looked up to find the Earl of Bellingham looking down on her, mischief apparent in his hazel eyes.
For a moment, Lucida was left speechless. Obviously, the earl had paid witness to the palm moving in her direction just as she suspected it had done! Perhaps he had even seen its frond fondling her shoulder!
And now he had come to rescue her!
Would he challenge the potted plant to a duel, she wondered? For having impugned her honor by caressing her bare shoulder without her permission to do? For nearly grabbing onto her sleeve so she would be forced to fight with the devilish frond until she would have to tear it from its leaf in order to escape? But, no, she realized as she remembered the rest of what he had said about accepting its offer of a dance.
Did he honestly think she would accept the offer of a dance from a potted palm? Why, she would be left doing all the work of leading the dance given the palm was quite secure in its Chinese pot!
And then she realized the earl was teasing her, his lips slowly spreading into a grin that made him appear far more handsome than he did when she had watched him dance the waltz with Lady Jane.
Her own lips soon matched his before she dipped a curtsy. "I actually gave the palm my apologies only a moment ago," she replied with a roll of her eyes. "He was being rather too friendly given we've never been properly introduced," she explained as she angled her head. "And now I fear he didn't take it well," she added, moving a few inches farther away from the insistent frond.
Linda Rae Sande
A self-described nerd and lover of science, Linda Rae spent many years as a published technical writer specializing in 3D graphics workstations, software and 3D animation (her movie credits include Shrek and Shrek 2). An interest in genealogy led to years of research on the Regency era and a desire to write fiction based in that time.
A fan of action-adventure movies, she can frequently be found at the local cinema. Although she no longer has any tropical fish, she does follow the San Jose Sharks. She makes her home in Cody, Wyoming. For more information about her books, go to her website: www.lindaraesande.com.

The research shows that binge writing has significant downsides. Inspiration strikes like lightening bringing creativity in an all-consuming burst of intense emotion. The manic creative genius might have the edge on sex appeal, but what impact does this approach have on writers, their output and creativity?
The super-productive splurge
Sometimes it just flows, the words pour onto the page and all is good in the world. PG Wodehouse felt surprised when he wrote 8,000 words one day and managed to complete Thank You, Jeeves. More recently Barry Hutchison typed 15,000 words while in a café.
This wasn't the norm for either writer; they were blessed with a flash of super productivity. In Hutchinson's case I'm unable to verify the rumours of thunder bolts curdling nearby cappuccinos.
The quest for fruitful writing has led many writers to rely on stimulants. Graham Greene and Ayn Rand fuelled their sessions with the amphetamine Benzedrine. Productivity can be stimulated in less questionable ways. Splurge writing is an approach that encourages writers to get everything on the page and keep writing. And then write some more. It's useful for first drafts, where the focus is to write the damn thing as quickly as possible. Coffee no doubt helps.
Writers – the masters of procrastination
When I asked writers to describe their writing pattern, the most common response was writing 'in fits and starts with bursts of activity followed by gaps'. For most people life just gets in the way; however others will do almost anything to get out of writing.
Back in the 1980s Boice was researching procrastination – he decided that writers would be the obvious candidates for investigation. He found that writer-procrastinators indulged in patterns of what he called binge writing.
Hypomanic, euphoric, marathon sessions
Binging is a period of excessive indulgence in an activity. It's most commonly associated with extreme eating, where bingers can eat up to 15,000 calories at one sitting.
Boice defines binge writing as hypomanic, euphoric, marathon sessions to meet unrealistic deadlines. Apart from the deadlines it sounds quite exciting. Who doesn't want to feel a rush of intense happiness when writing? This seduces writers into glamorising Bryonic melancholic energy when it's better described as mania.
The study compared binge writers with those that wrote in brief daily sessions, he found that the bingers:
- wrote significantly less
- got fewer editorial acceptances
- listed fewer creative ideas for writing
- scored higher on tests for depression.
That's pretty conclusive: long intense sessions might get the words on the page, but it comes with an emotional cost and results in fewer creative ideas. Boice found binge writing to be counterproductive and potentially a source of depression and writers' block. He said: "Productive creativity seems to occur more reliably with moderation of work duration and of emotions, not with the fatigue and ensuing depression of binge writing."
"Signs of deliberate practice in writing can be seen in work habits and practice techniques. Successful writers often schedule only a few hours per day for composing, and avoid binges that lead to exhaustion. High levels of practice can be seen in the daily work schedules of prolific writers." Kellogg
The alternative approach
Compared to the highs gained from intense writing, the alternative is decidedly vanilla. Writing daily, if only for a short period of time, increases output. The research showed that regular practice also increases the number and frequency of creative ideas. This is a double productivity gain: more ideas and more words.
Schedules might not be sexy, but if you want to be prolific forget Byron, Benzedrine and bingeing and aim for moderation. Save indulgence as a reward for successful writing. Now, I think I've earned myself a biscuit, or two, or three…

Wolf's Wicked Words: Preferred Gaming Districts
Like a fly, buzzing incoherently around in circles inside a white-walled room, desperately trying to find the path to his preferred patch of land; so do we all prefer our little stretch of peace and tranquillity. It goes without saying that the ordinary housefly would prefer much different circumstances than the Average Joe on the street. Same goes to the Average Joe on the street compared to the Farmer. And the same to the Farmer compared to the Passionate Gamer.
Whenever it comes to reading, watching movies, playing games and just about everything my day consists of, I prefer to be in a specific state of mind or more importantly; the circumstances should be ideal. I have no idea how people can read, and more importantly enjoy the book when there is a constant clamouring of voices combined with a neighbour grinding every piece of square-tubing known to man. This may sound like me bitching about people going about their lives, but it's rather amazement. I'm astounded if you can read and enjoy the article or book to the fullest when the next door cat is in heat.

The same can be said about writing. Any form to elaborate or express one's self; to me personally, requires either dead silence or music without any lyrics whatsoever. Painters and other artists would also like to have their creative expanse to be ideal to them.
Gaming may be looked at the same way. I have an ideal way to go about my gaming and so do you. Some people prefer the complete immersion with no one distracting them. It's just you and the game. I think this may be the case with me. I'm very picky about playing games online, unless it's multiplayer. I love me some co-op with the online oaks, but I find it very hard to enjoy a game when it's a story focused experience or single player at that, while someone is talking in my ear. Again, not complaining, it's just the way I prefer my gaming.
The person who inspired this topic feels rather different towards it; compared to me. He prefers to be online while he's gaming and takes frequent breaks every now and then. This results in not being / feeling disconnected from the world.
Another development that piqued my interest was when I looked at different genres. The more I began to think about it, the more I realized that most multiplayer games tended to bring a more chatty vibe to the gamers. (Co-op. Not competitive multiplayer. Competitive games tend to bring out the worst in some gamers. We're rather lucky not to have the ability to throw objects very far with precision. More and more people would have broken bottles lodged into their craniums due to competitive / online gaming.)
Rhythm games make for some great memories at social gatherings. (Even if I'm so not good at it.) Sports games are also known to add something extra to a party.
Enlighten us, what are your favourite gaming surroundings and the overall mood you long for when playing games?
Since last week, every other game was forced to a back-seat position to make way for the oh, so great; Borderlands 2. Seriously, I'm totally bonkers about it. I haven't played nearly as much as I wanted to, but I'll get Handsome Jack sooner rather than later.
I'd like to take this moment and salute Gearbox Software for a truly magnificent experience so far, and what makes me even more excited is that a very reliable source told me that I haven't even scratched the surface. Apparently, I haven't seen anything yet. If you're able to do so, go get this game; it's got my recommendation without any doubt whatsoever.

Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman (seated, 4 th from left) at a "people's dialog" at the Negros Occidental Multi Purpose Activity Center where the media was barred from covering the event and taking pictures by the person at right for unexplained reasons*
(CPG photos)
Three members of President Benigno Aquino's Cabinet held meetings with civil society representatives, Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries and barangay captains in Negros Occidental Saturday, to discuss the expansion of the government's Bottom-Up-Budgeting (BUB) program to the barangays.
However, the media was barred from covering and taking pictures of their meetings at the Social Hall at the Provincial Capitol and the Negros Occidental Multi-Purpose Activity Center in Bacolod City , and other areas, raising suspicion that they were in the province to campaign for Liberal Party standard bearer Mar Roxas.
The Cabinet members were Interior Secretary Mel Senen Sarmiento, Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman and Budget Secretary Florencio Abad.
Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad Saturday assured that the funds needed by national government agencies in the Negros Island Region will definitely be included in the 2017 national budget.
The agreement is to keep the administrative cost of the NIR operations down so that more funds can be poured into the development requirements of the new region to address poverty, he said.
The national government has poured in public investments in Negros Occidental and Oriental even without the new region , and will continue to do so, he said.

230 drug peddlers
arrested in Negros
The Police Regional Office 18 has neutralized the drug peddling activities of 230 suspects, who were arrested in two weeks of sustained police anti-drug operations in Negros Island, regional police director Chief Supt. Conrado Capa said Saturday.
Capa also said dozens of firearms were confiscated in the same anti-drug operations.
"That's a very good start.. this will continue" Capa, who required all police chiefs in Negros Island to operate an all-year round anti-drug campaign, said..

HA! Okay, okay, I totally let this slip my mind. Some time ago, I got tagged for this hilarious meme over on Schwartzy's blog. She poses this question: What would you do if Jesus came to your house? (Wait, before you read another word, go read Better Living Through Bacon's answer. My Little Pony and peen references get me everytime.) Now, take a moment, and think about who just got asked. Me. Right. Okay.
So, I thought it over. First, I'd be like, Ha! I knew you weren't a white guy! I fucken knew it! as I made little air guns. Next, well, he is a nice Jewish boy, so I'd first probably call my straight, single j-grrls and tell them a single, world famous Jewish guy was chilling over at the Guthporium, so chop, chop, spiff up, put on a good bra and swing by. Maybe nothing would work out? You can't just force a match if it's not a match, right? I mean, we don't even know that he's straight! He could be gay! What? He could. Anyway. So, we'd make him a nice dating profile or two. He needs a nice MySpace profile, too, and, obviously an email address. I wonder what email address we'd pick out for him? firstname.lastname@example.com? email@example.com? email@example.com? We'll have to see what's available, won't we?
Then, after being around so many Christians (What? He is.), he's probably dying for a nice matzoh ball soup, maybe my super-delish veggie brisket (ToFisket?), maybe a little side of latke, no? (Har) Anyway, I'd make him a nice little something to have. Then, since he and Prezzie Dubya seem to be such good pals (Just ask Dubya, he'll tell you), I'd show him my stack of George W. Bush playing cards, and hope he has a sense of humor-- I did, after all, pull the Joker card out of the deck, slap it on my fridge and write "cockfuck" on it. You know what I'm saying. Just trying to be hospitable to my guest, yeah?
Um, let's see, then I think I'd probably send him to talk some sense into that Ann Coulter and friends, but I'd send him off in style! As Baconey-doll pointed out, sandals and robes are so 2,000 years ago. Please. Ancient Holy Land-chic is totally out this summer. It would be hard to resist the temptation to dress him like a complete douche for my own entertainment, but I would, in the end, find a laid-back look for him. I mean, he's JC, he needs to chill just as much as anyone else, right? I would try to get him to get a haircut. Even the shaggy Johnny Depp look would be better than all that nasty hair just hanging there, probably tangled to bits. Ew.
Then, I'd see if he could do a little something in the water-to-wine department. I mean, I do have a whole Brita pitcher on my counter, just sitting there. Wine never hurt in this house. Then, I'd send him along, forking over my train pass.Oh, but before he left, I'd call my friend Philthy, who is a pretty big fan of JC's, and say, Philthy! You're never gonna g-ddamned guess who is in my kitchen right now! It's your pal JC! Could you DIE?!?! Then, I put JC on the phone and they'd have a grand old time. But, then I'd make that little wrap-it-up hand gesture and I'd be like, Yo, JC long distance doesn't grow on trees, mmmkay? and send him along.
I don't know who to tag for this. Tag yourself if you want to do it.
(Don't give me any shit. It's all in fun. )

Eggs from the store do need to be refrigerated. If the eggs are coming from your back yard and you haven't washed them they still have the 'bloom' on them which seals the pores keeping the egg safe from intruding bacteria (and moisture loss) and your eggs should be good out of the fridge for a couple months. http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/how-to-store-fresh-eggs-zmaz77ndzgoe.aspx?PageId=1

As a proud Northwestern graduate I signed up for the BTN Big 10K - I even convinced one of my fellow alumni to come to Chicago to run this race with me.
Packet Pick-up: Super easy because I had someone do it for me. If I had to do it myself it would have been a pretty big pain because the only pick-up location was Fleet Feet-Old Town which is not particularly convenient for me.
Shirt/Goody bag: Thankfully, I like purple. When you registered you were able to choose a school specific shirt with a base or accent color that corresponds to your school color. It's a nice tech-t and I'll definitely wear it again. There was also a nice nylon drawstring bag.
Getting there: I shared a cab with two runner friends and it cost about $20 which would have been the same as the cost to park. Frankly, had I known it would have been $20 to park I probably would have driven down since after the race we had to walk to the L and shell out a combined $6.75 to get home. Overall it wasn't much of a problem though – our pre-arranged cab was on-time and the drop off area was close to the start area.
Start area: I'll admit – I totally thought that this race was going to be a shit-show filled with a bunch of fratty douchbags, but I'll admit that I was wrong. There were a ton of port-a-potties, and there were corrals for a well-organized wave start. I had somehow qualified for Corral B (I have no idea……) but my friends were in Corral D & Corral I so we all just went back to Corral I and decided to jog the race and enjoy the run. Maybe runners further up were more uptight, but back in Corral I everyone was pretty nice and chill. The course was a little crowded – as all races that are on the path are – but it was never claustrophobic and we could always get around slower people when we needed to. The course was similar to Soldier Field – head south under McCormick Place keep going on LSD to the Path, cut over a small grassy area and back on the inner Path behind McCormick Place, around the Shedd and back by the Adler Planetarium where we started out.
Post Race: Bottles of water and Gatorade, great snacks - snack packs of Snyders Pretzel products and various cookies and crackers (Nutter Butters, mini Oreos, Cheez Its, etc. - and they had PLENTY - no stinginess with the snacks), and bananas. There was a little bit of a back up because the medals hadn't been unpacked, but the volunteers handing out the medals had a great attitude and were joking around so it wasn't so bad to have to wait a couple of minutes. According to the tabs on my bib I could have gotten a pair of cheapo sunglasses, a beer and some sort of sausage but since my friends and I were heading to brunch we didn't want to fill up - plus the lines looked pretty hellish.
Additional Stuff: All the Big 10 team mascots were there in varying degrees of creepiness. I went to NU but wasn't much of a sports fan so this was my first close-up look at most of the other teams mascots. Goldy the Gopher looked sort of matted and worn, the Nittany Lion looked really chintzy, and the Purdue Boilermaker was absolutely terrifying – his big plastic head had dead-eyes. The Wisconsin Badger was pretty good as was Sparty the Spartan and of course, Willie the Wildcat brought his A-game. Apparently there are two new teams in the Big 10 and the Maryland Terrapin looks like a turd in a shell – sorry, but it's the truth.
What I wore: I'll admit to enjoying a good costume if it's not going to get in the way of my running and since I knew we were just going to jog this race I went all out in the purple garb. Purple Saucony Kinvara 3's, purple Balega socks, lavender Zensah compression calf sleeves, a lavender Lululemon running skirt, a lavender Nike Pro-Compression sports bra, a real NU practice hockey jersey (white w/purple shoulders and N logo ), and a purple Sweaty Band headband. It's kind of funny considering I never had that much school spirit when I actually went to NU. One of the BTN reps walking around convinced me to try for the female school spirit award but when I found out I would have to go on stage and mug for the crowd I declined – I'm not much of a showperson. The jersey was m-f-ing hot despite the little perforations in the fabric and I wouldn't recommend running in one. Luckily it was fairly cool out and I didn't overheat.
I understand that there were a number of runner complaints about this race but none from me – I enjoyed myself and would do the race again.

Apparatus Modes of Operation
There are two modes of operation of apparatuses of DENAS therapy which should be combined and altered.
Dosed Mode
While operating under this mode, the body, due to availability of В«biologicalВ» feedback, himself specifies the required time of the apparatus performance thus performing self-regulation.
A light and sound signal is produced upon completion of the required exposure.
While operating under the dosed mode, electrodes of the apВparatus should be installed on the required zone of only dry skin. Electrodes should be applied to the next zone only after the signal is produced. It is not allowed to move electrodes along the skin while operating under the dosed mode.
The dosed mode is applied in order to reveal trigger (starting, pathogenic) zones, zones of asymmetry, for operation with the skin of the sound pair organ or a part of the body, at uncertain (non-localized) complaints.
Constant Mode
Under the constant mode apparatuses function as transcuta-neous electric neurostimulators (CHENS).
The duration of the session should be determined by an operВator in compliance with the technique described in the present Manual.
While operating under the constant mode, electrodes of the apparatus can be re-arranged as well as moved along the skin surВface with a speed of 1 -2 cm per second (scanning).
The constant mode is applied at localized complaints, at emerВgency aid, with the therapeutic purpose and for treatment of reВvealed trigger zones and zones of asymmetry.
While treating with apparatuses one and the same skin zone successively follow only the next order of repetition of the said modes: first the dosed mode, than the constant mode.

I had toenail fungus for a few years... which started with white lines in the tonail, which led to a yellow-ish brown thickening of the brittle nail, then to a dark brown/blackish streak leading up the entire nail. The condition is humiliating for us all.. and prohibits us from enjoying sandles in the summer, swimming, etc.
I discovered this site a month and a half ago... read everyone's great suggestions, and came up with a treatment that combines a lot of what is suggested here.
Items needed: bleach, listerine (brown), emery boards (disposable), Vics Vapo Rub, cotton balls, q-tips, bandaids and a shot glass (no, not to drink away the sorrows caused by toenail fungus).
On a daily basis, file down as much of the nail as possible using the emery boards. This includes filing the surface of the nail, back and forth, to rough up as much of the nail as possible. The rougher the nail, the more of the solutions it absorbs, thus the more effective the treatment. Once toenail is filed, fill the shot glass half with bleach, half with warm water -- leaving enough room at the top that the solution won't spill over once you dip your toe into it. Cover floor with a towel or something to protect from the bleach in case of overflow, then dip your toe in the shot glass for as long as your able. Your toe will start stinging from the bleach, you will want to remove every so often and let it air dry, then repeat. Leave in for approx 15 minutes. Once complete, let the solution completely air dry on your toe. Once dry... shower as normal, proceed with getting dressed, etc... then before putting on your shoes, saturate a cotton ball with literine, rub it over the nail for a few minutes, then apply a generous amount of Vic's Vapo Rub over the top of the nail using a q-tip, cover with band-aid, and leave for day. Once home at night, repeat the procedure before bed time.
It's a bit time consuming, and can be a little painful if the bleach burns a bit, but is working like a charm.
My entire outer-most portion of the affected nail has dried, crusted, and filed off with the emery boards.... leaving new nail growth underneath, not affected by the fungus. I could not be more pleased!!
Wearing open-toed shoes as much as possible also seems to help with this process. The fungus likes damp, dark places. So while going through the treatment, expose as much as possible!
Hopefully this works for you all, too! Good luck!
