…but someone has to do it.
Life continues to amaze me. I am still blessed to be alive and to be with family and friends who love me. People may be cruel and petty and general idiots most of the time, but I am blessed to be around people who understands and accepts me for who I am: wavy hair, brash personality and momentary lapses in grammar aside.
I am prepared to hate this week, due to the fact that it's my birthday week and that one of my client is pretty much blaming me for everything (they could have blamed me for the death of Osama Bin Laden, today 01 May 2011) yet I remained numb and brave and with solid belief of my capabilities. Wow, I haven't defended myself so hard than today when I felt like I am being portrayed as the "incompetent account handler". I maybe a lot of things (immature, prone to mistakes, OCD) but I am and never will be incompetent.
Have you ever took stock of your life and realized that you are working close to 12 hours a day for a measly sum that will obviously filter away as soon as the month strikes 15th? I do.
Like what ol' JayZ said, "it's pretty much a hard knock life".
To this day, I seriously place bets in the lotto — with the hopes of making it big and providing a good life for my family. It was not even about the flashy cars, huge mansions or the entourage that comes with having money. I don't need that. It's more about ensuring that my mom and dad will grow old comfortable, healthy and happy. You may say that this is just a usual PR shite but yeah, that's the only reason why I want to get out of this rut that I am in (and maybe travel the world, but that's another story).

Arugal's Folly
|Glutton Shackle (6)
|Darksoul Shackle (3)
DescriptionAfter examining Arugal's work my worst suspicions were confirmed. The old hack was not qualified to clean chamber pots in Dalaran let alone represent the Kirin Tor in its most dire hour. Fools!
Arugal used enchanted items to reinforce his weak magic. I need to examine these items first hand. Travel forth and slay Moonrage Gluttons and Moonrage Darksouls until you have collected enough of their enchanted shackles for my research. The foul creatures have been seen to the north and east.
I will need 6 Glutton Shackles and 3 Darksoul Shackles before I can assess the situation and devise a final solution for Arugal. Now heed your bidding and slay Moonrage Gluttons and Moonrage Darksouls until you have what I need.
I hope I can acquire enough energy from such a limited sample. Perhaps I should have had you get more shackles.
Nonetheless, you showed great skill in collecting these, <class>.

Myth or fact? The colour of your car affects the price you pay for auto insurance. Well, truth be told, whether you're into electric blue, cherry red, or plain old silver, the colour of your vehicle has no effect on your car insurance rate. According to latest stats from PPG, 74% of cars on the road in North America are white, black, grey and silver. Red and blue combine for another 18%, showing that we seldom stray from "conservative" colours. Car colour has long been quoted as one of the major deciding factors when buying a vehicle, but conservative colours may be trending due to the popular myth that colourful cars – most specifically red – cost more to insure. Generally, insurance companies don't ask you about the colour of your car when providing you with an auto insurance quote. For example, RATESDOTCA always give you the best deals on car insurance, no matter the shade or colour of your vehicle. On the other hand, here are some factors that can affect your rate: Depending on where you live, there may be other factors as well; however, these are the most common across most provinces in Canada.
- Make, model and year of the vehicle you drive
- Where you live
- Your driving and insurance history
- Your driving record, including any tickets or collisions
- Optional coverages you choose to include in your policy
- Your deductible amount
Find the best rate, tailored to your needs
Car insurance is no one-size-fit-all. Since all of these factors are fairly personal, rates can vary immensely from company to company. That's why it's important to shop around and compare rates to find the policy and premium that works for you and whatever vehicle you drive.

We are locally owned and love living here. You will notice a different vibe when walking in here for the first time. The second time you come visit, expect to be remembered and welcomed by name! All paint colors are kept file for at least 10 years so plan on getting the correct color when re-ordering whether it is in one day, or 4 years. Our small staff allows us to meet and remember every person that comes in here. We have many grades of products so we have the right products to fit every customers budget. Come check us out and find out that shopping in Crested Butte doesn't mean spending more money!
Mountain Colors Paint + Designs Core Values
As we grow as a company, it has become more and more important to explicitly define the core values from which we develop our culture, our brand, and our business strategies. These are the core values that we live by:
- Be a productive and contributing member of society
- Support the unique community & environment we live in
- Embrace and drive change
- Create ongoing win-win partnerships with our suppliers and vendors
- Pursue growth and learning
- Do more with less
- Be humble
- Be a socially responsible business by taking responsibility for the impact my businesses activities has on customers, employees, communities and the environment.
We are the first to admit that living in Crested Butte is not the easiest place to live, but we happily make sacrifices for the sense of community and the millions of acres of National Forest out our back door. Local blogger Brittany says it best: "The November issue of Ski Magazine features Crested Butte, asking readers if it's America's last great ski town. After living here for a year and a half now, I have come to the conclusion that it is one of the last great ski towns of the world. This town is driven by skiing… But, this town has something different than many other places whose economy is focused around skiing- it's a real community. Sure, Crested Butte has the seasonal transients. But, at the core of this town is a group of people who came here to ski and then stayed. People have built their houses and their lives here, been married, have had 2 kids, and take those kids soccer practice ever Saturday morning. It's not just America's last great ski town, but it's one of the last great examples of a community in a fragmented nation where people feel so detached from their neighbors. I wouldn't trade living here for anything." I couldn't have said it better myself!

April Empties: Skin, Hair and Bodycare 2016
April Empties! I love love doing these empties posts but I feel like it has been a while since I did one. Anyway, I'm going to try and make this a monthly empties type of a thing just so I can keep you guys updated on all the products used up each month. I really enjoyed doing the setup for some of the pictures in this post, so I hope you'll like them. And without more incessant chatter, let's do this.
April Empties:
- Olay Soothing Orchid and Black Currant Body Wash
There are some people who are really picky and knowledgeable about their body washes. Me? Like I've said before, I honestly am not too picky as long as it smells good and doesn't dry my skin out. Body wash is also a category of grooming that I don't splurge too much on; drugstore options work just fine for me. So that being said, this Olay body wash smells absolutely divine. It glides on your body and leaves you feeling super moisturized without any hint of sticky residue whatsoever. And for the price of it, you get a freaking massive bottle that will last you ages. The only reason I even managed to use this up as fast as I did is because I used it as my bubble bath as well. Mix this with some of Dr. Teal's lavender epsom salts, and your whole bath smells incredible!
Miscellaneous: You can find it at Walmart for about $5.00.
- OGX Biotin and Collagen Shampoo
I have raved about OGX shampoos before, and I'll do so again. At all times, there's always one OGX shampoo in my bathroom on constant rotation. I may try several different shampoos, but I always have a bottle of this in my shower alongside others. I just think you cannot go wrong with any of their shampoos. This one in particular is the best one in their range IMO. If you know a little bit about my hair, you'll know that it's pretty fine and flat and needs all the help it can get. This biotin and collagen shampoo literally does thicken my hair and gives it a much fuller appearance and helps it look voluminous and fluffy. A couple years ago I had had a bob haircut done, which turns out wasn't a cute look for me at all. And this is the shampoo that sped up the entire process of growing my hair out. I just cannot say enough good things about this one. Do give this a try the next time you're in the market for a new shampoo.
Miscellaneous: Can be found at Walmart for about $5.00
- Bath and Body Works French Lavender and Honey Body Lotion
Again, same deal with body lotion, I am not too picky with these either. I am very picky about my body lotion fragrances however. Because body lotion is the last item I put on after my shower, I make sure to choose good fragrances so that my skin smells good all day long. This particular scent from Bath and Body Works is fantastic to say the least. It literally reminds you of a French countryside each time you wear it. And oh my God, these lotions are so potent, their scent lasts an insanely long amount of time. If I shower at night, put on lotion and go to sleep, I can smell the amazing fragrance on my bed, in my throw, in my bedsheets, in my clothes.. you get the point. I love the longevity of these. It's freaking incredible. And of course, the formula is also good, not too sticky and not too thick.
Miscellaneous: I never pay full price for Bath and Body Works because you can always find some or the type of deal going on. So, wait for a sale or coupon or something. You can find this lotion on the Bath and Body Works website for $12.50.
- Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Eye Patches
This is my second packet of these. These eye patches aren't life-changing or a must have by any means, but they are a good thing to keep around if you have puffy, tired eyes, if you've been crying or your undereyes just feel sore and you want to bring them back to life. I've written about these in a post before so you can read a little bit more over there as well.
Miscellaneous: Find them at Sephora.
- Simple Micellar Cleansing Water
My April empties would not have been complete if I didn't mention this product. I just did a whole dedicated post on the Simple Micellar Cleansing Water a few days ago. For a full in depth review on this product, please read it here. Suffice to say, I love this product and have already repurchased a second bottle.
Miscellaneous: Can be found at many drugstores, including Walmart.
- Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Rich Shampoo
Didn't find this shampoo to be doing much for my hair. It was a decent shampoo, I really have no opinion on this. It wasn't anything fabulous or different or anything. Generally speaking, I rate PTR's skincare more than their haircare and what not.
Miscellaneous: I got this as a sample from Ipsy. The full size is available at Sephora.
- Dove Go Fresh Cool Essentials Cucumber and Green Tea Deodorant
This is another exciting feature for my April empties simply because I love the fragrance of this deodorant. It smells so fresh, so clean-which is precisely what you'd want your deodorant to smell like if it's supposed to keep your underarms fresh and clean all day. And the longevity is incredible! You can smell this deodorant on you even at the end of the day. Sometime when you're walking, moving, your arms are moving, you can smell whiffs of this deodorant on you, and since it is such a pleasant scent I love that the scent floats up to my nose occasionally. I'm not much of a sporty person, so I don't know how well this performs in terms of anti-perspiration when you're doing like intense exercising. Also, do you know how satisfying it is to actually finish up an entire tube of stick deodorant? There's a certain sense of accomplishment to this haha.
Miscellaneous: Mine was a travel version of 0.5 oz and it lasted me ages. The full size can be found at Walmart.
- Organix Hydrating Macadamia Oil Intensive Moisture Mask
Two OGX features in my April empties? Go OGX! FYI: OGX and Organix are the same brand, they've just done some renaming due to legal issues. Apparently their products are not entirely organic and their name misleads people. Whatever. I'm not really bothered by it. Back to the product. This is not my favorite hair treatment from the brand. It doesn't really condition my hair the way I need it to, and it weighs my fine hair down. If you want to pick up a good treatment from OGX, try the Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Treatment. Boy that treatment did wonders for my hair. I have reviewed in an empties before which I'll link here so you can go read about it more over there. I have very few duds in my April empties, but this macadamia oil treatment is one of them. This claims to mend split ends and hydrate hair, and I promise you it didn't do either.
Miscellaneous: Can be found at many drugstores including Target.
Alright loves, this was the round up of some of my April empties. Hope you found some useful information. i'm going to try and keep these coming every month. Love you!
Stay Beautiful,

We ended up in a dynamic, insightful, and collaborative space far "beyond the gradebook."
Common Sense Education's Second Annual Teacher Institute was an event for the record books! We packed 100 teachers, administrators, and thought leaders into Twitter's Aviary Room on Friday, February 3, to explore how educators can measure student outcomes beyond traditional grading. And we ended up in a dynamic, insightful, and collaborative space far "beyond the gradebook."
Presentation topics ranged from teaching students how to spot fake news to learning the benefits of teamwork while trying to literally break open a locked box. Among the education thought leaders who presented were:
- Merve Lapus (@molapus), Common Sense Education
- Patricia Cartes (@cartes), Twitter
- Erin Whalen & Kari Croft (@DaVinciRISEHigh), RISE High
- Jennifer Auten (@gr2ipadteacher), Common Sense Ambassador
- Kelly Mendoza (@kellymendoza), Common Sense Education

- Ariel Raz (@arielefant), K12 Lab Network/d.school | Shadow a Student
Common Sense Education would like to thank everyone who made this special day possible, including all event attendees and Twitter for Good, who graciously sponsored the event (did we mention there was a cheese platter?).

New grant program gives more than $250,000 to groups working on Chicago's South Side
Six non-profit groups that provide services on Chicago's South Side are sharing $253,475 in grants for programs to improve the health of area communities. The grants are the first to be awarded under the University of Chicago Medicine's new Community Benefits Grant Program, a joint initiative between the Urban Health Initiative (UHI) and the Institute for Translational Medicine (ITM). The program is aimed at advancing community-based programs to address health concerns faced by South Side residents.
This joint initiative will serve as an important component of the University of Chicago Medicine's ongoing commitment to improving community health and wellness across its service areas. In its comprehensive 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment, the medical center identified five priority health needs on Chicago's South Side — diabetes, breast and colorectal cancer, pediatric asthma, pediatric obesity and access to care — which serve as the basis for the grant program.
Almost 20 percent of children in the area have asthma, according to the assessment, and about six in every 10 of those children missed school and experienced an emergency or urgent care visit in 2011 because of their condition. The assessment also showed that among the community adults diagnosed with diabetes, more than 60 percent had more than three medical visits in 2011 related to their disease.
"This new grant program dovetails with the goals of UHI, which works to improve health and access to medical care on the South Side of Chicago through patient care, research and medical education in collaboration with community partners, and the goals of the ITM, which works to translate research into better health," said Brenda A. Battle, vice president of care delivery innovation and the administrative leader of UHI. "With this program we not only are leading the way for campus and community partnerships, but helping amplify the efforts of innovative organizations serving at-risk and underserved populations in our priority health areas."
The organizations receiving 12-month grants for programs are:
- CommunityHealth, $50,000 — Take Action! Diabetes Management Program provides patients with essential information to help build self-management skills and behaviors for controlling their medical conditions while also establishing and monitoring interventions and healthy outcomes at the Englewood Clinic.
- Asian Health Coalition, $29,500 — Diabetes Prevention Program for Asians in Chinatown will address gaps in conventional diabetes health education and disease management for the underserved and limited-English-proficiency Asian immigrant populations. These gaps are due to limited opportunities for culturally and linguistically tailored health education.
- St. Bernard Hospital and Health Care Center, $50,000 — ThePediatric Asthma Clinic will add a patient advocate position to help improve care coordination, education and assistance for patients with asthma (and their caregivers) by identifying and mitigating home and environmental asthma triggers.
- Chicago Asthma Consortium, $48,425 — Comprehensive School-Based Approach to Improve Asthma Outcomes, a pilot program within a charter public school, will consist of three parts: screening and referral, education, and policy. The goal is to create a model that that can be applied in other Chicago schools to improve identification of children with asthma, education about management and implementation of policy to support children living with the disease.
- Mobile CARE Foundation, $45,000 — Roseland Community Initiative will utilize existing asthma vans to serve Roseland-area children through monthly visits to 13 sites (an expansion from eight sites) for annual asthma screenings. The grant also will make possible data-sharing with Roseland Hospital, the creation of a network of community health workers, and regular meetings and trainings with Roseland staff.
- Respiratory Health Association, $30,000 — Southside Asthma Management Project will educate children through Fight Asthma Now© and their adult caregivers through asthma management programs. Educational efforts will focus on early recognition of asthma symptoms, common triggers, emergency care, proper inhaler use and medications. Additionally, in partnership with the Midwest Pesticide Action Center, adult caregivers will be educated about environmental triggers to help them make changes at home to prevent asthma episodes.
Submissions were judged based on whether the project addressed a community need, organizational readiness, appropriate use of funds and level of support from collaborating organizations. A clear outline of specific and measurable objectives, to be completed within 12 months, was also a requirement.
"These local organizations deserve recognition for the great work they're doing, and I'm thrilled that we'll be collaborating with them to address these common diseases that so adversely affect sufferers' quality of life," said Julian Solway, MD, dean for translational medicine and director of the University of Chicago Institute for Translational Medicine (ITM). "The new Community Benefits Grant Program is a natural partnership for ITM and UHI, as our missions emphasize using research to improve community health, and we're looking forward to working with many dynamic community groups in the years to come."

Your rights
In this Section, we have summarised the rights that you have under data protection law. Some of the rights are complex and not all of the details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.
Your principal rights under data protection law are:
the right to access;
the right to rectification;
the right to erasure;
the right to restrict processing;
the right to object to processing;
the right to data portability;
the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and

However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection.

However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.
You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by contacting us.

"The health of patients was not endangered," Jozef Dolinský, head of NOÚ, told the press on December 16.
The police investigation was initiated by Dolinský, who was informed about the dubious practices at the department working with cancer medication before it is given to patients in late October.
The criminal police searched four residences and one non-residential space, during which they seized medication, computers, and also money, head of the Bratislava regional police corps Csaba Faragó told the press.
The employees were detained during the December 15 police raid in NOÚ, about which the Denník N daily reported. All of them confessed their guilt and were dismissed from their jobs. If the police find them guilty, they may spend from three to 10 years in prison.
The police, however, did not specify the amount of stolen medication or how they were stolen as the investigation is still underway. Dolinský, however, said that the medication was not diluted.
He also called this a historical moment.
"It is the first time when a head of the state-run medical facility initiates an investigation over illegal activities in his/her own organisation," Dolinský continued.
This should prove that not only non-governmental organisations, citizens or private companies, but also doctors can report dubious activities. He also called on other medical workers not to be afraid of reporting such practices to criminal authorities.
Slovakia has struggled with sales of medication abroad for a long time as prices are among the cheapest within the European Union. If hospitals buy the medication and sell them abroad to hospitals or distributors for higher prices, they receive the difference in the price as profit, as reported by Denník N.
Experts in the pharmaceutical industry expect that nearly three-quarters of medication exported from Slovakia is not reported to the State Institute for Drug Control, though the law obliges them to do so, the Sme daily wrote.

FY2016 Annual Report and Self-Assessment
DATA MANAGER Updates
FY2016 Annual Report and Self-Assessment
Timely Services – Which IFSPs to Enter (also sent as an email to EI
providers on 8/1/16)
There have been questions from providers regarding which IFSPs to enter and which ones NOT to be entered into the Timely Services Report. The 10 children under this report were chosen because they were active before or on 7/1/2015 through at least 6/30/2016 (based on data received as of 7/10/2016). This means that they received a full year of EI services and should have at least one IFSP or IFSP Review completed during this timeframe. For clarification regarding which IFSPs to be entered into the Timely Services report we have presented some of the questions that DPH has received and the responses to these questions:
QUESTION: The instructions state that, "The children in this database may have IFSPs that occurred PRIOR to 7/1/15. Do NOT enter those IFSPs into the report. Only enter IFSPs that occurred between 7/1/15 and 6/30/16." Should we enter an IFSP Review if it occurred between 7/1/2016 and 6/30/2016 for an IFSP that was initiated prior to 7/1/2015?
DPH RESPONSE: Yes. For example, a child has an initial IFSP that was signed on 6/5/2015, an IFSP review signed on 12/1/2016 and a subsequent IFSP signed on 6/10/2016. The 12/1/2016 and the 6/10/2016 IFSPs should be entered. The 6/5/2015 IFSP should NOT be entered.
QUESTION: In the period of time for FY16, a 6 month IFSP review was done with no changes. The re-evaluation was delayed due to the parent canceling it and did not occur until July 2016. So the only information to be entered into the Timely Services report is the IFSP review…Is this correct? You do not want any other reviews or subsequent IFSPs.
DPH RESPONSE: Yes, that is correct. The one IFSP Review is all that we are requesting.
QUESTION: I have a child on this report whose last IFSP was signed on 4/1/15 which is before the time frame that we are looking for in this report (IFSP between 7/1/15 and 6/30/16). The service coordinator was not able to contact the family to complete the annual assessment until 7/6/16 and the child turned three on 7/9/16. I don't have an IFSP to enter in this time period and am wondering why this child was selected and how I should proceed.
DPH RESPONSE: The child was selected because they received a full year of services. The child should at least have had an IFSP review during this time period. If that is the only IFSP that occurred for this child then just enter the IFSP review information.
The deadline for EI providers to send their completed Annual Reports to their Regional Specialists is Friday, September 9, 2016. Please contact Michelle Conlon at (781) 774-6604 or email@example.com with any further questions regarding the Timely Services report.

Ummm...I don't think so. The cantilevered mirror is an interesting idea, though (what about in summer? ). Who maintains the greenery? And how?
One Central Park uses two unusual technologies for tall buildings - hydroponics and heliostats - to grow plants around the periphery of the building at all levels. The shading saves cooling energy, while the heliostat directs sunlight for heating and lighting into or away from the building and the adjoining park when it is most needed. It strategically casts light about itself to reduce rooftop heat loads and stir visual interest at height and on the ground, while enshrouding itself in lush greenery.
The world's "best tall building" is Jean Nouvel's high-rise jungle in Sydney

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) last night named Atelier Jean Nouvel's One Central Park (OCP) in Sydney the year's best tall building. OCP turned the site of a former brewery into a residential high-rise lush with hydroponic hanging gardens and a massive mirror cantilevered over the building's courtyard that harvests sunlight for heat and lighting year-round.
One Central Park, considered the world's tallest vertical garden, bested projects from SOM, OMA, and Cutler Anderson Architects for the award. Those buildings—a twisting tower in Dubai, a melded mass of high-rises, and a midcentury office tower reborn as a green icon—each won regional awards from CTBUH. But One Central Park's use of greenery by botantist and green wall guru Patrick Blanc won the day.
One Central Park (Richard Braddish)
"Seeing this project for the first time stopped me dead," said juror and CTBUH Executive Director Antony Wood. "There have been major advances in the incorporation of greenery in high-rise buildings over the past few years—but nothing on the scale of this building has been attempted or achieved."
Accepting the award in Chicago on behalf of his firm, Atliers Jean Nouvel Partner Bertram Beissel said the project increases the visibility of sustainable design. "If we do all these sustainable things and no one can see them, do they really exist?" Beissel said. "The choices we make for a sustainable future cannot be made in the future. They must be made today."

text: ACTA represents an attempt by a few businesses using outdated business methods to try to find a way around Clayton Christensen's The Innovator's Dilemma. They are doing this by lobbying for rules which will protect their existing business methods against emerging businesses which might transform the economy and replace the old ways of doing things. In their lobbying they are manipulating language to suggest what they are asking for is very different than what they are actually asking for, and they are trying to suggest that activities are devastating and must be stopped if someone else does something which the companies the lobbiests represent commonly do themselves.

Nurses are terrific when it comes to taking care of everyone else, but when it comes to us; we often ignore or override our own needs. From the basic needs for regular meals and rest to deep emotional needs for releasing the pain we deal with at work, we are at the end of the list (more accurately not on the list) of the people for whom we care every day.
Being tough, nurses can pull this magic trick off for a long time before our resources start to burn out. Then, often the solution is to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and keep on going. This seems admirable on the surface, but in the end, there is no glory in the burned out carcass of an overly self-sacrificing nurse.
The simple yet profound wisdom of a familiar airline safety protocol is useful to take to heart. "Put your own oxygen mask on FIRST, before you help others with theirs."
This is brilliant advice! Since nurses have such great stamina, a little care of ourselves up front, goes a long way toward supporting our availability to help others over time.
Here are some quick and easy tips for de-stressing your body. They take very little time to do and pay off greatly in not only reducing stress, but also in building more energy and stamina. When you read these tips, you will see how obvious they are. Yet, I think you will agree that in our hectic days attending to the basic needs of others, we often ignore these basic human needs for ourselves.
Tip 1~ Breathe
Take a moment before going on to the next task in your day for this simple act: take a deep breath, center yourself and smile. What a difference that moment will make toward relaxing and restoring your body and mind for the next situation.
Why it works~
When the body stresses, breathing becomes shallow. You may even notice that you hold your breath. Consciously taking a deep breath gives your cells the oxygen they need, so the body begins to relax and the mind is sharper. When you take that breath deep into the pelvic floor, you will find you stand up straighter and feel more centered and balanced. Standing strong and in charge of your next step feels great, so smile. When you smile, you actually feel better. Your body takes that physical cue as an indication that you are happy, so endorphins start to flow. A genuine smile cues everyone around you too. You may find that others respond better to you as well. Take this simple action several times today. Feel the difference it makes in your outlook at the end of the day. Teach it to others and see the difference it can make in the whole unit!
Tip 2~ Eat
Taking just a few moments for you, before giving to others is time well spent. Now, you are giving from your abundance rather than from an empty basket. Speaking of empty baskets, how about those nutritionally empty cells of yours. Pack a piece of fruit, some nuts, raisins or other quick snacks to have on hand when you feel the need to work beyond meal breaks. Something you can grab fast instead of the donuts or candy the patient's family just brought. This does not require elaborate preparation, or time. Grab a zip lock bag, throw in a few unsalted nuts, dried berries, raisins, or other dried fruits, or natural foods you like in it, and put it in your pocket, purse or desk. I also have some organic cacao nibs (raw dark chocolate) in my energy pack. Take a handful or two whenever you feel a hunger pang or drop in energy.
Why it works~
A small change in eating can create a huge increase in energy levels immediately and in health over time. Your cells need nutrients to produce energy for work and to regenerate when they are under stress. Fast food, sugar and salt actually have a deteriorating effect on the body. Sugar can provide a temporary high, but to balance that high the body will rebound with an equal or greater low. You actually have less energy in the end. Eating a little bit of nutritious food every couple of hours not only feeds the cells what they need, it also has side benefits. When your body knows you are going to feed it regularly, it stops packing on fat to prevent you from starving. You won't get so famished you would eat anything in sight as long as it is fast (donuts, chips, fast food). As a bonus, your body may also release a few unneeded pounds, which can make everything feel lighter.
Tip 3 ~ Drink Water
Most of us have gotten into the habit of drinking many things our body cannot use (caffeine, sugar, carbonation). Replace one beverage a week with pure water and feel the rejuvenation in your cells. Each week replace another cup of coffee, or soda with a glass of water. Over a few weeks, your body will actually desire more water, and the transition becomes easy. You will find that your body prefers water once you get started. Keep a mug of water on your desk, or strap on one of those water bottles, so you always have some with you. Sip it all day long. Yes, you will need to take precious time to pee more often at first. This is time well spent. Once your body gets used to the idea that you will be giving it the valuable water it needs regularly, it will stop retaining water. Your drinking and peeing ratio will level out in a couple of days. As your cells re-hydrate, you will look and feel younger and more vibrant.
Why it works~
Our cells are predominantly water. We need to replace the water lost from sweating, tears and the body's heating and cooling system on a continuous basis. Dehydration is associated with decreased energy, increased hunger, tiredness, and aging wrinkled skin. In addition to actually drinking water, you can eat more water-based foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables for hydration. Another good reason for replacing carbonated beverages with water is that carbonation leaches minerals from your body.
Tip 4 ~ Rest
Take a break every couple of hours or whenever possible. There have been many studies proving that workers who take a break increase their productivity. While you are taking that break, stretch your arms, back and legs. Most animals stretch regularly. Watch a cat or dog sometime, and notice how often they stretch.
Why it works~
Stretching improves the elasticity and mobility of the body, which allows for more relaxed movement and less tension. Resting the body and the mind to a state of quiet opens the senses and the mind for more presence in the moment, creativity and peace. When you create some spaces in your day, you can experience more of what is present and come up with creative solutions to stressful situations.
Putting the pieces together~
While you are taking that stretch break for 5-10 minutes, have a glass of water, pop some of those nutritional snacks, take a deep, deep breath into the floor of your pelvis, let it out and smile. Feel the return of energy and relaxation to your body, clarity to your mind, and caring to your heart.
When you feel stressed and depleted, try these simple tips for incorporating the basic needs of your body ~ breathing, eating, drinking water and rest ~ into your hectic day. Experience for yourself how taking care of YOU first, provides the precious resources you need to care for others from a place of strength and abundance.

Abiding {Day 28} – God Whispers
This series on abiding will be over in just four days. If you've missed any of my prior posts, you can go here to catch up. I've been stretched beyond my comfort zone and personally challenged as I've written this series. I found myself struggling for words today and I do not want to strive, not here at the end. I want to finish strong. My daughter has had my computer the last couple of nights doing homework. And because I do not write posts ahead of time, today I am re-posting a poem I wrote in September of 2009. I hope that it will bless you today.
God Whispers
A brush of wind across my face
A child's laughter from afar
The beat of my heart felt outside my chest
Do I hear?
A stroke of lightening in the sky
The sound of thunder resonating
Raindrops falling
Do you hear?
The Dove calling in the morning
The gentle quietness of the night
Every breath that gives life
Do we hear?
As the sun rises
He whispers my name
And with the setting of the sun
He beckons me to come.
Do I not hear?
God is whispering mightily.
Are you listening?
© Barbie Swihart
How is God whispering to your heart today?

After coming so close to its summit the day before after a traverse from Tuff Puff, I knew I was coming back immediately to make a second attempt at Whirlpool Ridge's highest summit the very next day. I enjoyed a delightful (free) camp along hwy 11 the evening before, setting up my mid on the back of my truck for the first time, which worked out great. The only fly in the ointment was repeated gunfire nearby, throughout the evening which kept me up until around 11pm when darkness finally started settling in! The joys of camping outside of a park I suppose.
Apparently I was just outside a protected area where I camped. When I asked a conservation officer about the gunfire the next evening, he mentioned that it was likely illegal as there's still very strict rules about how guns can be used in the area – and absolutely no guns are allowed in the protected areas to the east. I awoke at 05:00, determined to beat any weather that might be moving in. It was windy and cloudy as I drove to the nearby trailhead for Whirlpool Ridge and started up a faint track. I followed Bob's GPS track to access the lower ridge, which was very appreciated due to a myriad of trails in the area that all conspired to lead me in different directions. There's a gap in the lower part of the treed ridge and your goal is to avoid gaining the ridge until after this obvious notch. (Note that there are references to an "old road" in both Bob's trip report and the local hiking guide. I did NOT follow any road, but shortcut it which worked great and was on smatterings of a trail the entire way. Follow my track and you'll be fine.)
Once I gained height to the ridge, the route was obvious despite the odd cairn and trail marking the way. Sticking as close to the ridge crest as possible was where I found the best terrain. Any time I deviated off, I immediately came back to the crest. This theme would continue for the rest of the day.
The weather was ominous as I approached the first crux to what I now think is the summit of "Whirlpool Ridge" as defined in a popular local hiking guide. This is consistent with the theme for DTC, where often the ridges are named at their lowest point (i.e. Two O'Clock Ridge), rather than their highest (Two O'Clock Peak). Which is kind of weird IMHO. The first crux of the day, after getting onto the ridge proper, is ascending slabby terrain to the upper ridge and first summit. You have two choices. Bob chose the easier route, skirting the base of the slabs on scree, but ironically he missed out on the summit of the ridge by doing this! I decided to take advantage of the dry rock and ascended the slabs directly. Once again, I had decided to wear my heavy boots since I brought the crampons just in case there was hard snow near the summit. I wished I had my lighter shoes for the slabs, but there was nothing more than moderate scrambling at most here. Where the slabs steepened near the top, some folks might start to feel the exposure a bit and some won't like the pebbles that conspire to make things a bit more interesting. To avoid the slabs and still make the summit of the ridge, simply follow Bob's route and then loop back right (south) when you reach the ridge crest to find the summit cairn / register.
I'd seen the cairn the day before while descending Tuff Puff, so that didn't surprise me, but the register inside the cairn did surprise me a bit, as it indicated that this was likely considered the "summit" of the ridge. I was certainly going to tag the high point to the north, no matter if it was considered an official or unofficial summit, so after snapping some great shots (despite the clouds), I turned around and continued north along the initially wide ridge crest. The clouds sucked a bit but the lack of wind was pretty welcome on the ridge. As I walked towards the summit, I noted that it was still 500 vertical meters and over 3km away. This wasn't going to be a fast traverse but thankfully it did look like a fun one.
As usual with ridge traverses, and especially in this area of the Rockies, there were some hidden surprises along the way. I managed to bypass the center peak on a nice series of ledges and scree ramps which saved me some time and elevation but it was the section after this that threw an obstacle at me in the form of a short section of narrow and exposed rock. Once again, each time I tried descending off the crest, I'd quickly run into slabs or other problems – the best place to be was right on top of the ridge, so that's where I tried to stay. One section reminded me of Lady MacDonald, not too bad with a good hand line along the ridge crest, but a slip to either direction would kill or at least cause unwanted issues in your life. I can only remember one small section of ridge where I had no choice but descend a bit to my left (west) before re-ascending to the ridge crest, thanks to a drop off that went a bit beyond scrambling. I would call the scrambling "upper moderate" – not quite "difficult" but maybe close in short sections. I loved it. I can't stress enough – stay on the ridge if possible, even if it looks hard. There's even some bypasses on the east side that you won't see if you're not right on the ridge as you'll think it's all cliffs on that side.
After the crux section between the center high point and the summit, I enjoyed a few hundred meters of hiking along a wide and easy ridge, before tackling the summit block. Again – the scrambling was mostly easy up this section, with maybe a few steps of moderate moves. With careful route finding the terrain was pretty tame. I was delighted to finally make the summit but a bit annoyed at the thick clouds which prevented 360 degree views. Oh well. I'd seen most of the views already – remember I was 30m below this point the day before!
It was nice to finally confirm to myself that Whirlpool is indeed a scramble via the south ridge. And guess what? Another register was buried very firmly in the cairn! Hmmm. When I opened it, I noticed that it was labeled as "unnamed". Not very unique or creative IMHO. The group the day before hadn't even signed it – but it was difficult to find and dig out of the register so I'm not surprised. I waited for a few minutes for the clouds to clear and only had limited success – better than nothing though. I was getting chilled in the stiff winds from the northwest and some of the clouds looked pretty ominous so I tucked tail and started back down.
While I was descending an easy bump before the crux section of the ridge, I noticed two things that I liked. I noticed a huge scree gully leading directly down, all the way back to treeline below me and a sheep track leading along the bottom of the west aspect of the ridge just above treeline, looking to intersect with my morning ascent line up the end of the south ridge. Perfect! I love when there's a harder route up than down. Taking a bit of a risk, since I had no idea what the route would be like, I plunge-stepped my way quickly down the loose scree gully and started seeking out sheep trails along the bottom of the west face of loose scree and slabs. It was mostly good news. After hundreds of Rockies peaks, I have a pretty good sheep trail "radar" and I managed to find good trails for about 75% of the traverse. There were a few short sections of annoyingly loose terrain with some steep gullies that had to be negotiated along the way. Overall the alternate descent worked very well – I highly recommend it if you are good at finding sheep trails.
As the sky cleared behind me (of course right?!), I joined my morning ascent path and made it the rest of the way down the south ridge to my parking spot at Whirlpool Point. My round trip time of just under 8 hours left me with a very relaxing afternoon at my random camping spot where I read lots of Stephen King, Yuval Noah Harari and planned out my next day. I highly recommend this moderate scramble – which might even grant you two peaks depending on your definition. The approach is short and easy, the terrain is interesting and varied, the views are stunning in every direction and it has an easy alternate descent route. What more could you want out of a scramble?
Thankfully there were no more gunshots that evening, but 3 teenagers who decided to rip around my camp site in their beater car did get arrested in front of me by law enforcement officials. I'm sure they were in a heckuva pickle by the time they were finally driven off with their car towed! They must have been high or drunk or both. Never a dull moment in DTC apparently. It was at this time that I chatted for a bit with one of the arresting officers and confirmed that I could, indeed random camp there.

Thousand Islands or as locals say Kepulauan Seribu is a part of capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta. Yes, even in the capital city you can get a taste of the beauty of Indonesian tropical island. So if you don't have the time or the budget to go to Bali or Riau Islands while you're in Jakarta, you can go to Thousand Islands.
I am not telling you that we can compare the beauty of these islands. Well, probably everyone that already visited Thousand Islands and Bali still choose Bali for the more beautiful beaches. Since Thousand Islands located near the biggest city of Indonesia, pollution start to affect these pretty islands. But hey, these island still a beaut.. It's my favorite destination for snorkeling since it's close from home. Even though the name is Thousand Islands, there are 110 Islands of Thousand Islands. You can reach Thousand Islands by boat from North Jakarta. There are two ways to get there, by speedboat from Marina Ancol or by slow wooden ship from Muara Angke. If you choose to go there by speedboat it will cost you more (Rp. 80.000- 300.000). If you like backpacker, cheaper style you can go by Muara Angke harbor. It'll cost you Rp. 30.000- 50.000 depends in which island you get off. The ship from Muara Angke harbor are usually full of local tourist at weekend. For more relaxing vacation, weekday trip is more advisable. But if you have to go on weekend, make sure you arrive earlier so you can get place on the ship.
Some islands that famous as tourism destinations are Bidadari, Pari, Pramuka, and Tidung Island.
1. Bidadari Island
Bidadari (Angel) Islands is the first island in Thousand Islands to become Resort Island. Only thirty minutes from Marina Ancol port 17 you can already enjoy the beauty of this island. The facility on this island is rather complete compared to another islands, there are lots of cottage facing the ocean, a undersea aquarium, glass bottom boat to rent, swimming pool, dolphin attraction, outbound and water sports to enjoy.
On this island there are Martello fortress ruin from 17th century when Indonesia is still under Dutch colonization. You can also visit other islands near Bidadari Island which are Onrust, Kelor, and Kahyangan Island.
Because of Bidadari Island located close from Jakarta, diving and snorkel is not a good option here. And since this island is a resort island, you have to reach down your pocket deeper.
Little fact about this island: Bidadari Island used to be Sick Island (pulau sakit) since it was an exile for leprosy patients long time ago.
2. Pari Island
Pari Island get the name because its shape represent a ray fish from above. It literally mean Ray Island. There are beach called Pasir Perawan Beach (Virgin Sand Beach) because the sand is white and clean like a virgin. The beach are really pretty with mangrove surrounding it. For me, it is the best beach in Thousand Islands.
There are no hotel in this islands but there are lots of homestays. The cost for staying a night is fairly cheap, around Rp. 100.000-150.000 per room. Homestays there usually also offers boat and snorkel to rent for your snorkeling needs. If you like outdoor activity and refuse to stay inside while you're at this pretty island, you can camp at Pasir Perawan beach. You have to bring your tent beforehand and just pay Rp. 10.000 for retribution. There are public bathrooms for campers. You can rent a bicycle to go around the island. There are other activity you can do like banana boat, jet ski, or go through the mangroves by wooden boat. Playing beach volley ball also an option. At night, you can eat barbeque fresh fish as dinner.
A little fact about Pari Islands: It used to be producer of seaweeds. But pollution form Jakarta starts to affect the population of seaweeds and the production decline significantly. Nowadays, Pari Island residents works in tourism sector instead of fishermen.
3. Pramuka Island
Pramuka Island surrounded by clear blue water and nice corals. There are also a conservation site for hawksbill sea turtle. These turtles are hatched here and then released to the ocean when they are big enough. You can see and touch this turtle yourself, and if you lucky, maybe you can release it to the ocean.
Pramuka islands is a better place for snorkeling and diving. Like in Pari Island, you can rent snorkel gear and boat from homestays. The snorkling trip here is more complete that on the other island. They will take you to shark conservation site so you can see baby shark swimming around. And then you can ask them to stop by at Air island, a tiny empty island where you can have fun and act like you are a cast away.
If you want something more quiet, you can go camping at Semak Daun Island. Ask around and get a boat to sail you off to Semak Daun Island. It is uninhabited island near Pramuka Island. You have to bring water and tent because there are no accommodation there, only sand and trees and blue blue sea around.
4. Tidung Island
Tidung island is the most favorite island of local traveler. This island is the icon of Kepulauan Seribu. You can reach Tidung Island in one hour with speed boat or three hours from Muara Angke.
The famous attraction is Love Bridge with 880 m length, connecting Big Tidung island with Small Tidung Island. Big Tidung Island is where you can stay while Small Tidung Island is a place for mangrove. The myths is if you jump from Love Bridge you'll soon meet your soulmate and find love. Like in other island you can also snorkeling, diving, bicycling around, or doing water sports. The snorkeling trip will get you to another islands like Payung and Karang Beras Island.
