What you will learn
During this one-day workshop you will build on your mental resilience by reflecting on your own behaviour and looking at your strengths.
- You will learn how to set boundaries and to manage expectations from yourself and others.
- You will get insights in the role you play yourself in feeling stressed and how you can change that to feel more at ease.
- We will work on how to deal with negative thoughts, worries and feelings of inadequacy.
The workshop is a mixture of creative and practical exercises and several reflective exercises where you have to go beyond the simple cognitive answers by digging into your personal feelings. Feeling stressed sometimes is unavoidable, but you can avoid being overthrown by it!

PARIS (Reuters) - French police fired tear gas on Thursday at youths who hurled projectiles and vandalized property on the fringes of a student demonstration against the alleged rape of a young black man by police using a baton.
Hundreds of high-school students blocked the entrances to more than a dozen schools in Paris during the unauthorized rally which was largely peaceful aside from the isolated skirmishes. Police made 26 arrests.
The protest comes two months before a presidential election in which opinion polls show far-right leader Marine Le Pen performing strongly on an anti-immigration, nationalist platform.
It was the latest in a series of demonstrations against the alleged police mistreatment of a 22-year-old man identified only as Theo, who remains in hospital with injuries to his anus and head.
One banner at Thursday's rally read "Revenge for Theo!"
He has called for public calm and his family has said they have faith in the French justice system.
The Paris school authority said more than 10 schools had been targeted by youths who piled up rubbish bins and other objects at the entrance gates. In one case, a deputy school director was injured when protesters hurled a fire extinguisher.
Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said she understood young people's "emotion" over the Theo case but called for public calm and denounced the violence.
"I am appealing for calm because excesses like this, violence and blocking entrances to places, are not acceptable. The state will show considerable firmness," she said on Public Senat TV.
Video footage on social media showed a confrontation on the fringes of the rally in the Place de la Nation square in the east of Paris, where riot police in protective gear advanced on groups of mostly-hooded youths in sidestreets.
A helicopter flew overhead and tear gas clouds rose into the air above that square towards the end of the rally.
The Paris police department had warned people to stay away from the protest, saying there was a risk of violent groups causing trouble, as happened over the last three weeks.
Four police officers have been suspended pending an inquiry into the Feb. 2 incident. One has been placed under formal investigation for suspected rape and three others for unnecessary use of force.
So far the protests have not snowballed to the extent of the unrest that 12 years ago drew global attention to the stark contrast between wealthy Paris and the suburbs that surround it.

Gracie Hall-Hampton, the Arkansas Years, 1917-1953. Over the last several Arkansas years, Gracie Hall-Hampton had become somewhat callous in manner. Friends, family,as well as foe, say dealing with her could be a difficult task. Some say she'd gone from a sweet innocent young girl to a mean quick tempered old woman. She always had her shotgun near, with a four inch all-purpose pocket knife in the lone pocket of her trademark full-bodied specialty made housewives apron. I guess over the years, she felt the need to defend her family, property, or self could come at any moment. She just wanted to be ready.
One can understand how a single mother must be the rock in the family, especially in the rural areas of a segregated South. Given where she and her family lived, one can also understand why she had to be tough to fend for herself and those she loved. In some ways, she took on the personality of a frontier woman blazing a trail for others to follow.
Raising five children, after her husband died was a tough assignment. She had to be a teacher after school was out, a mother when one of own was physically or emotionally hurt, a strong, kind, or stern disciplinarian whenever a situation call for it. She had to provide the voice of wisdom and experience to young folks who thought they had the answers to all problems. But most of all, she had to be the protector of her family when it came to dealing with people, especially the local white folk.
She, maybe a little grudgingly, took on all those and other roles required at specific times. As time went on, she realized that she could not be hesitant in making decisions. She had to convince some by proving that she was neither weak nor reluctant to do whatever was necessary for her and family to survive. Those who dared to challenge her authority found they'd better arm themselves because it would be a fight to the death.
To some, she was a sweet old lady who made the best tea cakes and other sweet treats. She was just as enjoyable as she had to be to get her way. A testament of her character all depended on who were providing the information. There was one common fact in all the conversations and inquires. One did not cross this little five foot mother of five or there would be consequences.
For me, little Codis, a young wide eyed five year old kid. She was just Grandma. I was sent south because my father and mother, who were still living in Milwaukee, were going through a separation period which finally ended in divorce. I stayed with my grandma and her youngest daughter almost a couple of years.
She maintained her gruff personality even after moving to Milwaukee. She told me the story of a visit to the county hospital-clinic. She was there for a physical checkup but quickly became annoyed while taking the exam. She told me, "I told that doctor to stop poking me all over and he would not, so I chased him out of the room with my pocket knife." As I recall, there were no charges, they simply told her she was in excellent health and could go back home now. I never did find out if she had the same doctor the following year.
Being brought up in the city, with all of its conveniences of indoor plumbing, electricity, modern medicine, yearly evolving personal and public transportation, along with public communication tools, i.e., Telegram and telephones, we took those things for granted.
Think about those who came before us in the late 1800's and early 1900's who were first introduced into this world by a midwife working under a kerosene lamp, using boiling well water and the determination of the expectant mother to deliver her baby as tools of the midwifes trade.
I wrote this book so that my family and others could get to know Gracie Hall-Hampton, who was born in 1904 and died in 1985, eighty-one years later. I wanted my sons, daughter, and their sons or daughters to understand her. They should know how this five foot woman survived in a segregated South. Limited to an eighth grade education, living in the deep woods, nestled up to a tree line of woods, where black bears, wolves, coyotes and an occasional mountain lion roamed, see how she rose above and survived her environment. All while managing to raise five children in that environment, even after the death of her husband.
I wanted people to understand just who and where this little quiet woman, until somebody got her stirred up, came from. What motivated her to keep going? I hope that readers get an understanding of what it was like to live in a place where a black person could disappear never to be found again in Jim Crows back yard.
After finishing the book, while lying in the bed early one morning, I was thinking about what I tried to accomplish as the book's author. I suddenly remembered how surreal I felt while proofing the section I wrote about the birth of my grandmothers first child, who happened to be my future father. Thoughts of did I do it justice? Was I respectful enough to the moment? Was I detailed enough for a reader to feel how it could have been? My answer to those questions and others were I wrote what I felt as a Hampton. My family and you (the readers) will judge my effort as the book's author.
This book should be read by all people of color and thoroughly by black people. The stories here and those you have heard from your elders should be compared so that one can see, our people was here and allowed us enjoy freedoms they did not have. No other race of people has been mentally, physically challenged throughout their entire world history up through today, for simply being on earth as have black people. The closest that come to this type of degradation and stereotyping is the Jewish people during World War II.
As Americans, regardless of color, we have the chance and obligation to be the shining light that America is supposed to stand for. If we do that, this country will be truly recognized as the ideal society in which to make a life for you and our children.
Grandma Gracie had an abundance of common sense and loved her family. She always took the time to listen to me, as a kid and a man, while offering advice where needed. I hope that she is at God's side and are aware of this book's publication that is dedicated in her memory. I, like most of us, can only hope that somebody, anybody will take the time to write about our accomplishments, disappointments, and obstacles we overcame. It would be gratifying if somebody would take the time to record our story that we once lived and contributed to the growth of mankind. And, as they say, we played the hand we were dealt. Here's to you with love, grandma.

A Note from a friend at ProfessionalNet,
From Angela Cleo Smith, sent Mar 20, 2014
"I love the book. Honestly, I have been reading it in sections. I have a 3 week break from school that frees up some time for me, so I will delve into it more!
What I like is the story telling. How can you write a story that flows so vividly? Is this your memory?
I put myself into the storyline. This story can be anyone's story. Even how you explain the details, the food on the table, etc.
I can see this in a film. Or, would like to. But, the film is in your head while reading it. Thanks for sharing your story through Grandma Gracie.
- Angela
I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I enjoyed the story of Ms. Gracie and how she evolved throughout her life. The love that Ms. Gracie had for Mr. John was unmatched, superb, genuine, and divine. I admired the fact that she persevered through the tough times after the death of her husband and even when her children left for a better life to Milwaukee. Most importantly Ms. Gracie reminds me a lot of myself: a strong, resilient, independent, do the right thing, faithful woman of God who went through the obstacles of pain, joy, happiness, and sadness for her family. All in all Gracie Hall-Hampton is a true SHE-ro to Lameka Nalls Hampton. I am humbly moved and thankful to be a part of the Hampton family and this is truly a piece of family history that will live on forever! God bless you Mr. Hampton and thank you!

All's Quiet on the GM-Bankruptcy Front
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
LIKE A SCIENCE-FICTION FILM IN WHICH A METEOR HURTLES toward earth, the bankruptcy of General Motors (ticker: GM) appears as an approaching inevitability. But unlike in the movies, there is no panic in the streets among GM's bondholders.
Even as GM Chief Executive Fritz Henderson reiterated Friday that bankruptcy was "probable" for the auto maker, its bonds actually perked up. While the common fell eight cents -- equal to a hefty 4% -- to 1.86, GM's "retail" bonds held broadly by individual investors continued to perk up. For instance, the Big Board-traded 7.25% notes due Feb. 15, 2052 (RGM), Friday gained 14% in price, to 2.50 -- or 10% of their par value of $25. Institutional GM bonds also trade for about a dime on the dollar, reflecting the likelihood of bankruptcy.
Of course, President Obama has given GM until June 1 to come up with a turnaround plan in order to keep $13.4 billion in federal loans. That will mean two major constituents, bondholders and the United Auto Workers union, making major concessions to permit the survival of a drastically shrunken GM. Facing the ax are the perennially money-losing Saturn unit, GMC and Hummer divisions. The Saab and Opel units reportedly have drawn potential buyers, as has Saturn.
Still, Standard & Poor's cut its rating on GM's secured bank debt further Monday, to triple-C-minus from triple-C. That sent the unsecured bonds to new lows prior to their recovery at the end of the week.
Ivory-tower economists would assert that the efficient financial markets have fully discounted the probability of a radical restructuring of the $28 billion of GM bonds, either under in bankruptcy or out of court. But, avers Martin Fridson, the veteran observer of the high-yield bond market and CEO of the eponymously named Fridson Investment Advisors, things are unlikely to go as smoothly as textbook theory would predict.
The same might have been said back in May, 2005, when GM's bonds first were lowered to junk status, which came as no surprise, Fridson recalls. Nevertheless, the entire market was roiled by this seemingly well-anticipated, well-discounted event.
There could be a replay when the final shoe falls and with the probable GM bankruptcy filing, he says. For instance, insurance companies that have held the auto maker's bonds since they were originally issued as investment-grade securities may have to finally bite the bullet and dump if they no longer are paying interest. (Full disclosure: I am among those who have ridden GM bonds all the way down after having bought them based on the errant advice in these pages. Their value, however, has shriveled to a fraction of 1% of my portfolio.)
Then, too, more high-yield portfolio managers may own GM bonds than they care to admit. As throughout the money-management world, Fridson notes there are a fair number of "closet indexers," who would own auto credits because they comprise a big chunk of the junk-bond indices. From the managers' perspective, they don't want to lag when this sector rallies, as it did in March when risk aversion abated. And if autos go down, they know that they can't be faulted because their bogey also fell.
Unlikely to feel a seismic tremor from a bankruptcy are GM credit-default swaps, according to Tim Backshall, the chief analyst at Credit Derivatives Research. There is $2.68 billion net outstanding of GM CDS, which is more relevant than the $38.4 billion gross total that reflects double-counting of credit protection sold and bought.
A GM bankruptcy or restructuring would mean holders of GM credit protection would enter the International Swap Dealers Association Settlement process, which is basically an auction of claims. For instance, if a bond winds up being paid off at 10 cents on the dollar, the seller of protection would have to come up with the other 90 cents.
Various news reports indicate that General Motors may put forth a proposal to bondholders as early as next week, with these creditors being offered equity in exchange for their bonds. The rub is that if bondholders accept an out-of-court deal and take equity, they would be wiped out if GM subsequently ended up in bankruptcy. And a Democratic administration would be more sympathetic to the UAW than bondholders, even if many of the latter are small investors.
That standoff further suggests the competing claims will be settled in bankruptcy court. If that's the case, the real mystery is why GM's common still fetches close to two bucks.
TREASURIES WERE LITTLE CHANGED despite data showing the economy getting worse at a less rapid pace and the continued advance in global equity markets, which were boosted by better-than-expected bank results. The benchmark 10-year note rose one basis point, to 2.93%, as did the two-year note, which ended at 0.96%.

The pressure to create the perfect Thanksgiving meal comes from many angles, especially with social media giving exacting standards for a what a real Thanksgiving feast should look like. Unfortunately, for many families in Las Cruces and Doña Ana County, reaching that picturesque meal is just too far of a stretch. Thankfully, it's other social networks in Las Cruces that step in to help.
The growth of the generosity has come from partnerships with other organizations, like a donation of 1500 cans of stuffing from Pepperidge Farms…
Villegas-Fierro also said that an outpouring of smaller groups across the city are running food drives that funnel back to Casa de Peregrinos. "Citizens Bank and the Army Recruiting Center are starting their drives," she said. "The Respiratory Therapy Program at Doña Ana Community College is a group of students coming together to start their own food drive."
Alba said it's the stories he hears that keeps him and his staff going. "It's like the biblical story of the fish and loaves," he said. "Every time you think you're not going to have enough, the community comes through for you."
Casa de Peregrinos needs:
Cans of corn, cream of mushroom soup, green beans, plus large sturdy boxes that can hold a turkey, a bag of potatoes, along with the cans.
The Las Cruces Home Builders Association is conducting a similar drive to disperse Thanksgiving Dinners to those in need at their event hall and through fi low-income elementary schools. Nicole Black, executive office for LCHBA, explained that $50 dollars sponsors one family in need. Call 526-6126 or stop by at 2825 North Main Street. "It's particularly heartwarming to see the families at the schools," she said. "We always get drawings from the students and letters of thanks from the families."
Consider the Aggie Cupboard (906 Gregg Street, 646- 7636) as another location for donation drop offs. Many students are unable to go home for the holidays In Spring 2011, NMSU students were asked to a survey conducted by NMSU Social Work Services. More than 1/3 of the students reported having to choose between paying bills or getting groceries at least once and that 1 in 5 students reported that hunger regularly affected their grades or ability to concentrate. The Aggie Cupboard accepts donations between 9:30 am -11 am on Tuesdays & 1 pm-3 pm on Thursdays.
The post Get Involved: Thanksgiving Dinners appeared first on Las Cruces Magazine.

Simply different dough
Baking temperature
Golden crust and airy lightness of our pizza is ensured by the iconic Rinaldi ovens. Compared to other ovens, they can achieve extraordinarily high temperatures thanks to heat distribution through evenly spaced ceramic spirals. Rinaldi oven will bake your pizza before you count to 360.
Our dough is made from a combination of flours – Campanian golden wheat, rice and soy flours. These come together to create a smooth, easily digestible combination. Correctly raised dough releases and joins the flavors of all the ingredients. Compared to a regular wheat flour dough, it keeps well even 30 minutes after coming out of the oven.
Dough Rising
Allowing the dough to raise slowly in a consistent temperature of 22 °C releases all the right flavors. This way pizza gains twice its original volume.
Neapolitan pizza should not exceed 32cm in diameter. Special shaping plate with inner spinning disc will pull the dough from center to edge , pushing out all the excess air into the crust, allowing it to turn crispy gold on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Authentic Ingredients
Italian pizza deserves italian ingredients. Sugo is made from succulent San Marzano tomatoes, our mozzarella comes from the hills of Campania. Other ingredients also originated from the Apeninne peninsula.
Final Touch
You will fall in love with the careless elegance of our pizzas prepared by Alessandro. The ingredients come together in a perfect harmony that you can taste in every bite.

Memorial Day Weekend seemed like the perfect time to host the third installment of our friends and family cook-off. So we sent out the alert: a pie off and BBQ was coming!! Everyone got out their rolling pins and their thinking caps and went to work. Since my brother K.C. has won the title at both the Poultry Grill-off and the Chili Cook-off, he definitely had a target on his back. Everyone was gunning for his pie. Baking isn't really his calling, so he wasn't feeling all that confident going into it. Even still, we all knew he was going to be stiff competition and we had better bring our A game if we were going to get somebody else's name on the board.
Originally we were going to grill some hamburgers and have everyone bring sides. Then the poultry grill-off champ himself offered to bring over his smokers and do whole chickens. Of course we quickly jumped at the chance. He has a few smoker options, but has been having fun playing with his barrel smokers lately. So, he quickly whipped up a second one. He is one of my two brothers who live caddy-corner from us. So it was kind of comical watching him bring the smokers over. First he carted over the barrels. Then he lit the fires at his house and actually carried them over. I really wish I had gotten a picture of that, it was a site to see. You know what else I missed getting a picture of? The 12 whole chickens on the smokers! Darn it!
Oh well, you'll just have to take my word one the spectacle of it all. He got the chickens going as the folks started rolling in. Everyone was great about covering up their pies so nobody knew what everyone else had made. Matt had a super secret system developed to help keep the anonymity. Each pie was given a number. The number corresponded to a letter and that his how the pies were judged. So people didn't even know their own letter. Of course, most people had a pretty good idea which pie was their own anyway!
Everyone brought the most beautiful pies! There was such a great variety of flavors and designs. There was beautiful lattice work, perfect pecans, creamy fillings and fabulous fruits. Unfortunately we had to butcher them to do the tasting. Everyone got two plates filled with a taste of each pie next to the corresponding letters. They also got three chips for voting and fork for tasting. It was a rough job, but everyone took their pie tasting duties seriously.
They were all sooooooo good! There wasn't a pie in the bunch that I would turn my nose up at eating. In fact, I would be perfectly pleased with any of the pies! That made voting so hard. My husband kept saying he wished he had given out more voting chips because narrowing down the choices was too difficult. He thought there were too many that deserved a vote.
He was probably right, but in the end you only had three votes and you had to use them wisely. The votes were tallied and the winner was announced. My husband's cousin Liz won with her pecan pie. It really was an amazing pie! We were told that nobody else in the family will make pies for Thanksgiving anymore because hers is so good and we could all see why.
I really should have people bring their recipes along to these things! What kind of pie would you make for a pie-off?

NOTRE DAME, Ind. – University of Notre Dame rising junior pitcher Dan Slania was named the Cape Cod Baseball League's Coca Cola Pitcher of the Week on Monday night. He is the first Irish player to earn such a nod in the prestigious summer league since eventual Cape Cod MVP A.J. Pollock was named player of the week on July 27, 2008.
Slania (Tucson, Ariz./Salpointe Catholic H.S.) was dominant in a pair of relief outings for the red-hot Cotuit Kettleers. He opened the week against Yarmouth-Dennis and struck out the side in the ninth inning to secure a shutout. Slania then collected back-to-back six out saves as the Kettleers extended their winning streak to a season-high seven games. He tossed 2.0 scoreless innings against both Bourne and Brewster and recorded five strikeouts along the way.
Slania is 1-0 on the campaign with a 2.29 earned-run average and a league-leading six saves. He has appeared in 13 games out of the bullpen for Cotuit. Slania has struck out 26, walked only two and surrendered 15 hits in 19.2 innings of work.

S'mores Monster Cookies – addictive peanut butter cookies loaded with oats, Rice Krispies, pecans, milk chocolate, and marshmallows!
Happy National S'mores Day!
How are you celebrating?! Can I suggest my favorite Raspberry White Chocolate S'mores?
When it comes to cookies, I either like a plain, boring shortbread or something loaded with everything you have in the kitchen. No in between with me.
So for these S'mores Monster Cookies, I started with a peanut butter base and then added oats, Rice Krispies, pecans, chopped Hershey's bars, and tiny marshmallows.
They're delicious and everything I want in a cookie.

DALLAS, June 20 (UPI) -- A Dallas man said it was a "miracle" when his new wife turned out to be a perfect match for the kidney transplant he needs to survive.
Jonathan Woodlief said lupus destroyed his kidneys as a child and the transplant he received from his mother at the age of 18 began to fail last year, WFAA-TV, Dallas, reported Wednesday.
Woodlief said the state of his antibodies meant he needed to find a 99 percent match for a second transplant to work.
"So my antibodies are about 99 percent, which means that I match to about 1 percent of the population," Woodlief said. "That was definitely ... just heartbreaking to hear."
Woodlief said he and his fiancee, Caitlin, decided to go ahead with their wedding in October. He said his health began declining this year and he and his wife were shocked and amazed to discover her kidneys were a perfect match for him.
"The doctor called it a miracle," Jonathan Woodlief said. "We believe it's a miracle, and we're grateful for that."
The couple said their surgery is scheduled for Tuesday.

BOSTON (CBS) — The New England Patriots received a warm welcome from more than one million fans on an unusually warm February day in downtown Boston to celebrate their sixth Super Bowl title.
There were people as far as the eye could see along the two-mile parade route of Duck Boats, which started late Tuesday morning on Boylston Street and rolled past massive crowds on the sidewalks all the way to City Hall Plaza. City officials estimate 1.5 million people attended the rolling rally.
Photos: Patriots Super Bowl Parade
The record warmth, with temperatures into the mid-60's, drew so many Patriots fans they overwhelmed the MBTA's buses, subways and commuter rail lines. Keolis, which operates the commuter rail, said it was their "highest ridership ever." They were anticipating similar size crowds in the afternoon as well.
Fans started lining the parade route well before sunrise Tuesday and the sides of the streets were full by mid-morning. The crowd was larger than usual with temperatures into the 60's, making it feel more like the first week of May and not the beginning of February.
The Patriots left Gillette Stadium in Foxboro on several buses around 9:45 a.m. and arrived in Boston shortly before 10:30 a.m. The parade started a few minutes late, just after 11 a.m., as the Patriots players, coaches and their families rolled out on several Duck Boats with all six Lombardi trophies to show off to their rabid fans.
Several players, including center David Andrews and tight end Rob Gronkowski, took advantage of the warm weather and shed their shirts for the crowd.
Watch: WBZ's Steve Burton Completes A Pass Tom Brady
The turnout and the sunshine definitely helped put a smile on head coach Bill Belichick's face. Tom Brady brought his children with him and wore a new shirt with the number 6 on it, one for each Super Bowl title.
At times, the crowd chanted "We want seven!" as the players rolled by and red, white and blue confetti flew through the air.
"Feels great man, after a long season to celebrate with the fans," linebacker Elandon Roberts told WBZ-TV.
Unlike past championship parades, there was not a rally in City Hall Plaza once the procession ended. The players hopped back on their buses and rode back to Foxboro.
WBZ-TV's Louisa Moller reports on the parade cleanup
Boston Public Schools said the number of absences Tuesday was about 2,000 more than a typical day.
No major incidents or injuries were reported. Boston EMS said it took nine people to hospitals for what they called "event-related" incidents. Fourteen people were arrested, according to Boston Police.
After the Boston mayor trespassed passed Dan Cathy's hobby (Chick-Fil-A),
and his company/COMPANION (The Living God) out of Boston! On Official City of Boston letterhead – THAT WAS MY SIGN! Boston is under a curse and I stay outside of Boston air space and territory.
The GOAT* was mediocre in the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl. If he was on any other team, he would have been exposed as an average QB.
Please "if he was any other team he might not have been in the SB oh and by the way"average QB's" don't have 6 Rings and every record in the book

I've only visited one yarn shop in France, in St Raphael. I was SO excited to find an Anny Blatt shop as we don't see much of it in Australia. BUT the assistant wouldn't let me touch anything.
How ridiculous. I'm not going to buy yarn without touching it (a) for feel against my skin and (b) to see how it is going to behave. How will it drape, that sort of thing. Touching it is how you tell.
In the end, I walked out without buying anything, spent 1000Euros at the nice friendly clothes shop next door and I really wanted to walk back into the yarn shop just to explain to her that this was the money I might have spent at her place if she had behaved appropriately.
I'm nervous that is going to happen when I go to Paris in a few weeks' time as well!

Le Comptoir is the tiny little shop near the subway station "Cadet". The service is generally not good (it depends on the days), every time you ask to see a yarn, you seem to annoid the lady so you're not feeling very confortable.
It's a litlle bit like been in a candy shop but no having the right to touch!!! Frustrating isn't it?
But if you know exactly what you need, you can go make a quick purchase, they've got Rowan, Habbu textiles, and other nice stuff.
by theporro on Friday, Jun 17 2011 at 11:17AM CDT
Nice small shop. My dother speaks french and we got plenty of assistance in both french and english while visiting there on April 2011. The lady was serving two french women but still had the time to answer our questions in between while she overheard them. The prices vere ok, and I found things that I needed (some new needles and few skeins of yarn)
by ann on Tuesday, Jun 15 2010 at 07:53AM CDT
I went out of my way to visit this shop after seeing it mentioned so often on various blogs etc - and found the sales assistant totally unhelpful, and almost rude. I tried to strike up a conversation, but despite being the only person in the shop she certainly wasn't interested. There is no access to the wool, the place is tiny - I would certainly not go back !
by knitxx0r on Monday, Apr 26 2010 at 08:24PM CDT
Visited during a weekday, and took two children along which really seems to be the ultimate test of a french shop keeper's patience (dogs are more welcome, seriously). The lady was nice, however, and helped my daughter pick out new pink-topped wooden needles perfect for her novice fingers. I also bought a couple of bargain skeins. The fixtures in the store (wooden shelving, counters) were so old fashioned and charming, though not welcoming for petting the yarn. There was a great selection of Noro, Habu, and other really nice yarns I can't quite remember now. There were lots of things for crafters of other sorts (quilting, enbroidering, sewing generally, ribbons and notions, etc) but that's not my thing so I didn't notice much beyond the charming displays. This was one of my favorite yarn-stops in Paris.
by MelleSubjonctif on Monday, Feb 15 2010 at 12:11PM CST
I went there on a Saturday afternoon. It is a tiny shop, with beautiful wooden furniture. The saleswoman was not helpful and she clearly did not appreciate the fact that me and friends touched the yarns. She seemed really annoyed at us for taking a long time to take a decision on our purchases. At the end, it seemed like she was so displeased with our presence that we left without buying anything. Another friend of mine said the same thing happened to her and that she had found this woman very rude.
It was also rather expensive. for such a bad service, you might as well buy online.

I've had this album since I was a teenager. The first band I was ever in used to play Moonchild and the title track Calling Card. I'm posting this because I feel that this is a great album, and good mix of rock and blues.
It is also a great album for drummers because of the varying styles on the record. I'm just now 40 years later sitting down and learning some more of the tunes on this album. See my post about the song Country Mile here:
Secret Agent is next, love the work on the bell of the ride cymbal. Check this one out drummers, you may learn something new, I sure did.
Secret Agent
Calling Card
Old Rory. I always thought he was a bit underrated. Just about the best electric bluesman anywhere IMO.
What a great guitar player...waaaay underrated!
Totally love his music. I just got the Live at Montreaux DVD. Amazing! I have been on a Rory Binge since February this year.
A couple of years ago, our band played "Calling Card," and I sang it. "Moonchild" is one of my favorite songs ever. Peace and goodwill.

Zomato Book – The new online booking system coming to Australia.
Zomato, the recent acquirer of Urbanspoon, has now acquired US based NexTable, and a cash and stock deal for an undisclosed amount. Zomato recently raised US$50,000,000 and is valued at over $1 billion.
The deal will see NexTable renamed Zomato Book and the team from NexTable will come across to Zomato. Zomato has stated that they intend to launch in the UAE, India and Australia first because that is where they have strong customer bases.
Since raising funds, Zomato has been on a buying spree, purchasing 9 businesses in the last 9 months and now works with Restaurants in 22 countries.
Zomato acquiring NexTable – What does it mean for your Restaurant?
Zomato is certainly moving ahead with their aggressive plans to be the one stop shop for recommending and monetising Restaurant transactions. They recently acquired MapleGraph and have renamed it Zomato Base. This is a POS System. The acquisition of NexTable – to become Zomato Book, leaves just Online Ordering as the last main piece in their efforts to monetise all of the functions of a Restaurant. They currently have 22 positions open in Australia.
CEO of NexTable, TC DeSilva stated one of the reasons for the sale to Zomato was the difficulty in building a sales force to scale the business out. The costs of running a large salesforce is hopefully going to be recoup by Zomato by monetising every booking ad every online order that they take.
Looking for a Free Online Restaurant Booking System for your Restaurant?
Taking Online Orders? What about our Free Restaurant OnLine Ordering system?
Many of these costs will either need to be passed onto the consumers or be absorbed by the Restaurants. The question will be whether they can achieve the scale required before the investment funding dries up. The creation of a digital monopoly means that companies can increase fees easily, which is why Restaurant companies trade on such high premiums, but I think the fundamental question is can a Restaurant survive being off the grid, outside of all of the aggregators and so far, we have seen some Restaurants being very successful by doing great marketing for the Great Food, Great Value and Great Experiences that their deliver at their Restaurants.
What does it mean for Dimmi?
This is obviously a continuation of the issues that have befallen Dimmi in the last 4 months, which has left the question about whether it will be acquired by Opentable? Zomato Book includes a Table Management system which will go head to head against Restaurant Diary, which Dimmi resells from Resdiary in the UK. We think that Dimmi has tried to reengineer it's business model to become a reseller of Restaurant Diary, but this move will continue to put pressure on Dimmi.

The discipline of engineering provides vast scope for candidates. It's surely a simple fact that physics jobs are astoundingly essaycapital diverse. In private industry, candidates for mathematician jobs typically demand a PhD, though there may be opportunities for people with a master's degree.
Then analytically exhaust every possible explanation theoretical physics has to provide you https://studentaffairs.duke.edu/career/online-tools-resources/versatile-phd/careers-academic-publishing with. It can be thought of an appropriate quantum chemical theory. Read more on the subject of superposition.
You'll learn how to use the principles of physics to the true world. In fact, the modern computer might be the best practical evidence that the foundations of quantum mechanics are incredibly sound. Finally, according to Durkheim, the fourth intention of deviance is how it encourages social shift.
Based on the angle of the branch, an extremely strong wind could possibly be needed to dislodge a snagged Frisbee. Obviously, as you pointed out, in the event the nuclei just vanished entirely, then things would be quite different as a result of each one of the extra charge! From an experimental perspective, you can collide particles deep in the proton, and measure the way the gluons react.
The truth is, I haven't ever been very great at playing follow the leader. If a person does read it, it doesn't have any bearing on the last decision. It is that quantum mechanics has to be derived from abstract mathematical ideas that have little or no meaning in the real world.
Astronomy can thought of as part of the area of physics. The principal web and Business Online category is for all web and Business related articles which do not fall into a particular subcategory below. Ph.D. earned within the past three decades.
Michael decided to do exactly that. After you start your course, you can submit an application for academic internships or summer internships in the region of marine biology. He is believed to be about 5,300 years old.
Astrophysics is a term that's frequently used interchangeably with astronomy. Such predictions will certainly emerge as more physicists discover Deutsch's new means of thinking. Other fringe theories wind up being disproven.
Taking geology courses as a piece of your physics degree can be quite beneficial. If, on the reverse side, you prefer to learn theoretical physics, even obtain a degree in the region, then use that knowledge elsewhere (Ph.D. only), you could possibly be in a place to swing that. The BS degree is meant for students who want a thorough program in physics.
You might be able to discover individual on-line quantum physics-related physics courses your school offers or is ready to accept in transfer. When most universities teach on a wide variety of courses, there are a few universities which are better known for a given area of study. It's really the study of the way the world works, and, it may be regarded as the most fundamental of all of the sciences.
The Key to Successful Theoretical Physics Salary
As most everyone discovered in elementary school, everything that you're in a position to see in the physical world includes molecules. It is their work that results in a better comprehension of how things work and of how they may be improved to benefit humanity. In fact, not everybody is in a position to turn into wealthy.
Another tool which you will be learning is referred to as the Moving Average. The info about vibration pattern would need to be instantly from one place to another. However, in order to comprehend howit works, you'd most probably have to be based on the relevant scientific discipline to have the ability to study its workings carefully.
Any stock climbing up a mountain might come across the route somewhat choppy and the amateur may encounter lots of disappointments. It's challenging to disentangle our job as measuring subjects from the target reality of things. Regrettably, it has a great deal of strings attached.
Who Else Wants to Learn About Theoretical Physics Salary?
The rest of your time on the training course will be spent on independent study. The info in the next sections are able to help you understand the advantages that include studying physics and get you considering the many career possibilities that could be in your future. You'll receive online exercises and study guides to look at your knowledge on your own.
As a way to understand your prospective salary that you'll need to comprehend where you stand in qualifications. You can also track down net pharmacist qualification solutions. All candidates will have to pass the NCLEX-RN exam to be able to practice as a registered nurse.
Ok, I Think I Understand Theoretical Physics Salary, Now Tell Me About Theoretical Physics Salary!
Let's look at the other criteria. It probes philosophical questions, including whether a computer can serve as a mind. If there is just 1 form of information, then everything in the universe has to be possible by it.
On-line courses are offered in the shape of downloadable audio, video and text materials and might be delivered by means of a program shipping system like Blackboard. You are going to be working with computer languages thus you ought to be prepared to learn a number of computer programming languages. To begin with, the system has to be in a position to store and process considerable amounts of information.
The constructive or negative effect of the Canadian shift towards more applied research at the cost of basic science is not going to be clear for quite a while. Indeed, science has a rather specific limitationexerted via the quantity of resource society is prepared to dedicate to it. The 2 companies have opted to enter a 24 month collaboration.
Finding out how to develop into a physicist involves developing a good comprehension of scientific research techniques and mathematical principles. Additionally, it has a very small positive field energy. Unfortunately, weapons development and technologies are likewise a possible outcome.

Coming Into "Lived Experience"
Yoga is actually kind of boring and I like that. When you take the time to let go of externals and focus on the experience of the body you are coming into the timeless present moment. This seems like a boring thing to do in a way. Stop, breathe, focus on your experience, which could be more mental than physical at first. But gradually the body which exists in the present comes into focus. My teacher Don Stapleton calls this body time. The body alway exists in the now, and the mind needs some help getting there. But the now is where lived experience occurs.
The body is the perfect vehicle for getting our minds into this present lived experience. Whenever you breathe, feel you body whether its moving or still or in a yoga pose or not in a yoga pose, you are connecting with the earth. Our bodies are in one way the result of consuming the earth, the atmosphere and the elements. It's nice to think of yourself as separate but even just in the physical sense alone, the body is connected to the earth. Gravity is pulling us onto the ground. The earth is spinning around the sun. The sun swirls around in a galaxy in a limitless universe. The only time you can experince your connection to everything is now, and through the body in a simple and direct way. This doesn't happen yesterday or tomorrow and it helps you transcend a sense of disconnection.
So hatha yoga can put you in touch with the present moment and our connection with the earth and the whole universe really. This is something we live moment to moment, right now.

Modern Slavery is a growing issue in the UK, with thousands of victims hidden in plain sight. Some of these people are working in hand car washes, where police raids have uncovered victims living in appalling conditions.
CCJ and the Clewer Initiative believe that as communities, we have a responsibility to combat modern slavery. The Clewer Initiative have created the Safe Car Wash App, which helps members of the public to spot the signs of forced labour.
CCJ are working with the Clewer Initiative to publicise the app. We have produced a resource for Christian and Jewish communities to raise awareness of modern slavery. CCJ's Safe Car Wash Resource contains sermon ideas, religious sources on slavery, activities for children and young people, and ways to involve the community in ending modern slavery.

The Dressmaker is one of the worst experiences I've ever had in the cinema. It's rare that a movie makes me this fundamentally outraged. It may be a critical and financial success but for me, The Dressmaker is an example of everything wrong with the Australian film industry. I know I'm in a minority here. I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me on this. And that's fine, everyone likes different things. It's not about whether you like or dislike a movie/TV show/anything. What matters is how well you can explain your reasons.
Based on the popular 2000 novel by Rosalie Ham, The Dressmaker tells the story of Tilly Dunnage, a talented dressmaker who returns to her childhood town to care for her mentally unstable mother. However, at the age of 10, Tilly was accused of murdering a local boy and was sent away. For some reason, Tilly can't remember anything about the alleged incident and seeks both answers and revenge.
It's one of the most successful Australian films. But that does not a good movie make. At least for my taste. It's not like there's an abundance of Australian films to begin with, and even less that are actually good. The only Australian films I like are The Castle, The Black Balloon, Gallipoli and Strictly Ballroom. Harsh? Maybe, but I can't force myself to like something, and as a critic, I certainly can't overlook such glaring flaws.
Rest assured, I am going to add as many spoilers as humanly possible. Fair warning to those who want to see it. And if you think the movie is a masterpiece, I advise you to stop reading. I don't want to ruin anything for you. Also, I'm going on record here by saying I have not read the original novel. I didn't even know it was a novel. It's quite rare for me to see a movie without having read the book, but here we are. Frankly, I'm going to make sure I don't read the book. That's how much I disliked the movie.
I could write an essay here, but to spare my sanity and yours, here's 4 reasons why I don't like The Dressmaker.
1. It's miserable and unpleasant
What could be more uplifting than a false accusation of murder, rape, infidelity, abuse and revenge?
As I said, it's a revenge film (poorly executed, but I'll get to that later). The problem is that it's in the guise of a comedy, and there is little comedy in this. This is a thoroughly unpleasant, depressing, mean-spirited movie.
From the minute Tilly enters, she's hated by the town, and it seems like that was the case her whole life. Her mother isn't exactly a bundle of joy either. Tilly was subjected to terrible bullying as a child from both school and adults alike. She was sent away, she's treated with suspicion and nobody is interested in her side of the story. And just when it seems like something nice might FINALLY happen to our main character, the movie douses it with petrol and sets it alight while cackling madly. She just never gets a break. It's exhausting, depressing and downright nasty. The movie was hell bent on making Tilly suffer as much as possible.
To give a better idea of what I'm talking about, let's look at another "classic" Australian film. Muriel's Wedding.
Muriel's Wedding is touted as a 'feel-good' movie.
When, at any point in the movie, is this a 'feel-good' flick? Point to me that moment. Is it when Muriel is arrested on a false accusation someone made out of spite? Is it when she steals money from her family and goes on holiday to Bali? Then runs away? When her 'friends' disown her? How about her abusive father telling his family they're all useless? Oh, I know. It must be when her best friend gets cancer and loses the ability to walk. Or when her dad has an affair and drives their browbeaten mother to suicide!
You beginning to see what I mean here? Adding all this violence (physical, emotional etc) is not going to make us feel more sympathy for the main character. Especially if, like Muriel's Wedding, the main character is a pretty horrible person herself. Muriel lies, steals, manipulates and abandons people just to get what she wants. Sure, she's horribly abused by people but that doesn't give her the right to behave the way she does. There's far better ways of dealing with things like this.
So right from the outset, we have a movie that delights in suffering, for the pleasure of the audience and other characters. That's such a great foundation to lay a film on.
2. It makes no sense
What was the focus of this movie? What was the driving point? The love story? The truth about this murder? Revenge? Dressmaking? Small towns? The relationship between Tilly and her mother? How much I'm supposed to hate these characters?
Why can't Tilly remember what really happened when Stewart Pettyman died? Who forgets the circumstances of a death which you're accused of being responsible for?!?!?
How had Stewart Pettyman's mother never heard that Tilly was supposedly the one who killed her son???? If the town is so malicious, why is Tilly's mother Molly still there? And that deus ex machina plot point about Teddy's mentally unstable brother somehow being a witness to the death but nobody ever mentioned it? He never said anything? And once he is revealed as an eyewitness and the other witness was lying, they do precisely NOTHING with this information. They don't tell anyone, it's never resolved, she's never exonerated, nothing. Just a completely stupid sex scene. There was also no reason to kill off Teddy. Or Tilly's mother for that matter. It was just more ways to ensure Tilly was downtrodden even further.
By the way, if Teddy was so smart, who jumps into a silo after a delivery? Stupid thing to do.
Whoever wrote this needs a high five. In the face. With a crowbar.
3. The characters are terrible
It's bad enough that the story is sheer misery. They didn't need to go so far as to make characters with no personality outside of being the worst human beings in the world. This was a who's who of great Australian talent and none were utilised to their full potential.
With the exception of Tilly (mainly due to Kate Winslet's performance), I hated these characters. They had little to no redeeming qualities and other than that were cliched as hell.
You have Gertrude Pratt, the town's ugly duckling who is in love with someone who's way out of her league. Sheesh, haven't seen that in a zillion other movies and TV shows.
She gets the cliche of having a makeover, suddenly becomes the belle of the ball, is immediately engaged to him and with no transition whatsoever, becomes a complete and utter stuck up maniac. She had no transition and the flimsiest of excuses for existing in the first place.
Then you have the great Barry Otto as the loathsome chemist. He's cruel to Tilly as a child and behaves in a downright sadistic manner while Molly dies in pain from a stroke. And technically, Tilly is responsible for him drowning. Great. We're supposed to think she's innocent and mistreated but there you go. There's no reason for this chemist to exist apart from being another despicable character.
Hugo Weaving is having a lot of fun as the cross dressing sergeant, but what cop could be bribed with a damn feather boa to reveal secret witness statements???
Evan Pettyman is probably the character I despised the most in the entire mess however. Shane Bourne gives a good performance but this character was just so thoroughly unlikeable he was DOA. This is a man who sleeps with every woman he sees, while drugging his wife Marigold and raping her while she's unconscious. He's also suddenly revealed as Tilly's father. Ugh.
Of course, Marigold eventually discovers her husband's affairs thanks to Tilly. What follows is a horrifying scene where she slices his Achilles' tendons with a butcher knife and leaves him to bleed to death. This disturbing act is portrayed as both triumphant and somewhat comedic. And I am absolutely not ok with that.
Both genders were given a disservice here. The men were cheating scumbags and the women were gold-digging harpies. Teddy was the only character with a likeable personality but let's face it, he was just eye candy and because they killed him off, anything remotely pleasant vanished from the movie.
4. There's no message or reason for it to exist
As I said before, this is an incredibly dark movie. And on the surface, that's fine. There's nothing wrong with dark themes. Australian theatre is full of them. Look at The Boys by Gordon Graham. If you don't know, it's a highly fictionalised play about the brutal 1986 murder of Sydney nurse Anita Cobby. The Boys is hard hitting, raw and violent, but it's all done through the writing and characters. No crime is committed on stage. But the reason The Boys works is because there is a definite message. It's anti-violence, and explores the reasons behind crimes and mob mentality. Because the play is told through the eyes of the women (the mother and girlfriends of the boys), the audience is pulled into the drama and urgency, leaving with deep questions about violence and the cause of anger and hate. Blackrock, also about the real life murder of teenager Leigh Leigh, ponders the responsibility of a community and the reactions to a crime. Radiance talks about rejection, history and family. Look at international works such as Spring Awakening. That deals with rape, homosexuality, abortion, death, suicide, teenage self-discovery, sado-masochism and all to show the consequences of improper communication and not being honest with teens about sex. None of these plays, and a list of others, are sunshine and roses. But again, the darkness has purpose. The violence and confronting themes are to make a point. To say something worthwhile. The Dressmaker does not do this. There was no message here. No attempt to make this a better world. The movie is essentially saying that revenge is the way to handle things. That murder and arson are completely justified if you feel so inclined. That is where I draw the line.
Allow me to use a line from Batman Begins.
"Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about making yourself feel better,"
Tilly's revenge solved nothing. It just created a whole world of anger and suffering. Like the movie did to me!
I know a lot of people like this movie but I'm sorry. I just think it's horrendous. As an artist, I am mortified that this is the calibre of films Australia continues to produce.
The reason films like Gallipoli, The Castle and The Black Balloon are good films is because they're about real people and real issues. The Kerrigans in The Castle are a loving family, though slightly off-beat, and they're fighting for their home. Gallipoli shows the tragedy of WWI by making us connect to these characters as real humans. The Black Balloon touches on the rarely explored issue of mental disabilities and the effects on people.
Instead of being an interesting story of discovering the truth and righting what is wrong, The Dressmaker just shows that violence is justified if people wrong you. The characters are stereotypes and like I said, it's surprisingly unfocused and mean spirited. I give the actors credit for their performances but it felt like their talent was going to waste.
This could have been a good movie. This could have been a unique and touching film about a young woman reconnecting with her mother after a troubled childhood. But it was a bloody mess.
This is what's wrong with Australian film. There are few outlets for artists to utilise their abilities effectively. There's very little funding or resources and as a result, our film industry is almost non-existent, and the quality of movies are nowhere near the quality they could be. Most movies are stereotypes, unsavoury and not very well written. But because they're Australian, we're expected to love them no matter their flaws.
The Australian film industry deserves so much more. But as long as the funding is locked away and talented filmmakers are denied resources in favour of movies like The Dressmaker, it will continue to suffer.

Imagine immensities. Begin now.
Happy New Moon dear ones. It is time to notice the seeds that are sprouting in our consciousness, in our hearts, and in our spaces. So much is possible..Here are some thoughtful articles that sparked my imagination with poetic words on beauty, flow, healing, collaboration, tree wisdom and more:
Spark your imagination

Imagine immensities
Every once in a while — often when we least expect it — we encounter someone more courageous, someone who choose to strive for that which (to us) seemed unrealistically unattainable, even elusive. And we marvel. We swoon. We gape. Often , we are in awe. I think we look at these people as lucky, when in fact, luck has nothing to do with it. It is really about the strength of their imagination; it is about how they constructed the possibilities for their Life. In short, unlike me, they didn't determine what was impossible before it was even possible.
If you imagine less, less will be what you undoubtedly deserve. Do what you love, and don't stop until you get what you love. Work as hard as you can, imagine immensities, don't compromise, and don't waste time. Start now. Not 20 years from now, not two weeks from now. Now.
Debbie Millman in Look Both Ways: Illustrated Essays on the Intersection of Life and Design
Begin now
Until one is committed there is hesitancy:
the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all aspects of initiative and creation
there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which
kills countless ideas and and splendid plans;
That the moment one definitely commits oneself
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one
That would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision
raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen
incidents and meetings and material assistance
which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
~ W.H. Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition.
Whatever you do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I love that we have a whole month dedicated to poetry. I will be posting a poem a day until the end of the month. What will you incline your heart toward? What seeds of trust will you nourish in the garden of your heart? Life blooms in her own time. As Pema Chodron reminds us: "When there is a great dissapointment, we don't know if that is the end of the story. It may be just the beginning of a great adventure." Here is to seeing the beauty that is already here. May it instill in us the commitment, boldness, and courage to steadily work for our life-sustaining dreams and desires.
Blessed be,

how safe is lobitos?« on: November 07 2012 11:11:00 »
Hi to all surfers here,
I am planning a huge surf around the world trip in 2013, which will include Peru, for sure
I wanted to stay in Lobitos for a while, but I read many creepy stories (especially at wannasurf.com), which scares me a lot. Ok I know south america is kind of dangerous, but reading about being robbed by masked guys in rooms, where you sleep, concerd me a lot.
How would you judge safety in Lobitos and aorund the area, for a female, who travells alone?
Thanks guys for any response and help!
`« Reply #1 on: November 07 2012 14:11:00 »
There's a'new" place hostel / surf camp on the beach at lobitos that l;ooks pretty safe and comfortable.
Surfed at lobitos many times, but never spend the night there, never say or heard of any dangerous things. I am sure if you rock up with expensive camer's Imac/pods etc and stay in a shit shaq for 5 dollars per night that it's highly likely that your stuff will find a new owner
RE: how safe is lobitos?« Reply #2 on: November 07 2012 23:11:00 »
Hi Jim,
thanks for your reply! I appreciate a lot.
I rather pay more for accommodation, as long my stuff is safe.
The hostels Í intented to stay is the surf hostal lobitos from Kike and Verena, I heard only good things about it.
thanks again.
RE: how safe is lobitos?« Reply #3 on: November 08 2012 12:11:00 »
Have fun it's an awesome wave, make sure you also get to surf Pacasmayo and Chicama ( when there's a big swell running)
RE: how safe is lobitos?« Reply #4 on: November 09 2012 00:11:00 »
Hola Jorge,
muchas gracias para la ayuda. My spanish is not so good, yet, but I am working on it, to improve :) I liked your link on facebook. I appreciate your help.

Galway Curtains and Blinds Centre was recommended to us by a friend when we were moving into our new house.

We were pleased with both the service and finished products, 4 years later people still comment on the fabric and pattern! Mary Ann, Oranmore
Having had the same tired dull curtains hanging in our house for over 15 years, We made the big decision to change them. Well it wasn't a big decision after all, as the team here we so friendly and helpful and their suggestionswere perfect. With another one on the way, We will be back in to get new curtains made, whether blue or pink.Evelyn, Ennis
Cannot thank your team enough for their help and advice. We had to replace old and quite frankly ugly blinds which had been hanging in two of our rooms downstairs. What we have now is something which is both elegant and sturdy.Keep up the good work. Will gladly send friends and family to you.Siobhan, Barna
