Like Death
Scott Raymond is a man haunted by his past and terrorized in the present. As a young boy, he witnessed the brutal murder of his family, but there is so much of the gruesome tragedy that he simply cannot remember - including the identity of the killer or why Scott alone was spared. The memories won't come, but the trauma won't go away.
Scott is an adult now, still emotionally scarred but learning to deal with it. He has come to Ash Creek to write about a different mystery, a six-year-old girl named Miranda who has disappeared in broad daylight one year ago. Here, Scott meets another girl named Miranda, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the one who's missing - but this one's a teenager. She will draw Scott into the bizarre hidden world known as Shadow. A world where nightmares are very real...and very deadly.

Over at Foreign Policy.com, prominent realist Stephen Walt has a thought-provoking article exposing "The Myth of American Exceptionalism." His basic point: U.S. officials—and the American public—need to get over their conceit that the United States is a uniquely virtuous nation and an inevitable force for global good. Failure to do so blinds U.S. policymakers, encourages idealistic crusades that lead the country into quagmires and exposes the country to inevitable charges of hypocrisy as it confronts a complicated world. And while the notion of a benevolent American hegemony may be seductive to many Americans, one should not be surprised if others around the world regard the United States with a gimlet eye, given America's checkered history of meddling in others' affairs for narrow political, strategic, or pecuniary gain—to say nothing of its insistence on perpetual global military dominance. The notion that the United States is unique among nations, of course, has been a touchstone of U.S. foreign policy from the republic's founding. Historically, it has been invoked by both Democratic and Republican Presidents alike—from Woodrow Wilson, JFK and Bill Clinton to Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush.
But recently it is Republicans who have claimed a monopoly on the concept, blasting the Obama administration—and President Obama himself—for failing to pursue a sufficiently "pro-American" foreign policy. Indeed, GOP presidential candidates have had a field day with Obama's tepid endorsement of the concept of American uniqueness. (During a 2009 European trip, the President conceded, "I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.") Mitt Romney's recent, sharp critique of the president's penchant for apologizing for the United States suggests that the question of American uniqueness will become a recurrent theme of the 2012 Presidential campaign. Given this prospect, Walt's assault is a welcome rejoinder and offers some important truths.
The United States is hardly alone in seeing itself as exceptional—or having a unique global vocation. Consider France. Beyond its historical claims to a mission civilisatrice (civilizing mission), France maintains an enduring commitment to la Francophonie. Even despite France's relatively diminished global status since 1940,the notion of being globally indispensable remains engrained in French political culture.(Indeed, one reason the post-war U.S.-French relationship has been such a prickly Cold Alliance stems from the two countries' jockeying for similar universalisms. The American Revolution and U.S. Bill of Rights compete with the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man).
"Among great powers," Walt reminds us, "thinking you're special is the norm, not the exception." That's certainly true for today's putative challenger to American hegemony. Under a veneer of Communist Party ideology, today's Chinese foreign policy is imbued with an enduring sense of national—indeed civilizational—self-importance. It dates back millennia, and depicts the country as standing apart. At times, "Chinese exceptionalism" depicts the country as literally the political center of the world.
Walt seeks to demolish the pillars of American exceptionalism, showing that the United States is neither particularly benevolent nor divinely predestined. He documents historical excesses of America's global role, from its scorched earth atrocities in the Philippines from 1898-1903 to its controversial conduct in the global war on terrorism. He suggests that "America's past success is due as much to good luck"—including a fortunate geographical location—"as to any uniquely American virtues." Walt disputes the tendency of U.S. politicians and academics alike to attribute all positive global trends and outcomes—from the spread of democracy to postwar global prosperity—to U.S. global leadership. He points out that such analysis ignores the downside of U.S. primacy, like lack of progress on climate change. Finally, Walt dismisses the myth that God has somehow granted the United States a special providence, or "mandate of heaven," to bring freedom, peace and justice to the world.
The Internationalist is inclined to agree that American exceptionalism can be a perilous obstacle to sound foreign policy, but also recognizes that it is part and parcel of American national identity. As such, it is likely to be with us for some time. Notwithstanding the litany of bad outcomes Walt describes, America's liberal-exceptionalist political identity has at pivotal moments also encouraged the United States to define its national interests broadly—and to create a framework of international cooperation within which all countries, not just the United States, might benefit. The most prominent and celebrated example is the flurry of U.S. institution-building after 1945—an effort designed, in the words of historian Anton DePorte, to "Lockeanize a hitherto Hobbesian world." It is hard to imagine any other globally dominant power during that era exercising such far-sighted leadership. What the United States needs to guard against, always, is invoking American exceptionalism to excuse quixotic and foolhardy behavior, to invalidate deserved criticism, or to justify policies that harm innocents.
Walt's critique is a bracing wake-up call—a reminder that the United States, for all its great strengths and its capacity to influence the world for good, remains a fundamentally self-interested actor. It is possible to accept much of Walt's indictment and still believe that the behavior of the United States stacks up quite favorably with that of any great power in world history (an admittedly low bar). But his piece usefully reminds Americans, who are not used to thinking of themselves as ruled by ideology, that we are often prisoners of our political culture. The GOP's current monopoly on the discourse of American exceptionalism is surely astute politics. Whether it clarifies or obscures the global challenges facing the country is quite another thing.

Glove is just what I wanted and expected, only gripe is it arrived pretty dusty like it had been sitting out in a warehouse or something for quite a while. That won't affect performance but just didn't arriv as expected.
Incredible glove. HIGHLY reccommend.

SOUTHFIELD (WWJ/AP) – A group of Democrats in Michigan's Republican-controlled House introduced a package of bills Thursday that would tighten state regulation of hydraulic fracturing, which releases natural gas trapped in deep underground rock formations.
Sponsors said the measures would bring more safety, accountability and transparency to the process — widely known as "fracking," — although the state Department of Environmental Quality said it already has solid rules in place. Meanwhile, a group that wants to ban fracking said the bills don't go far enough.
Fracking has become a hot political issue in a number of states. It involves pumping huge volumes of water laced with chemicals and sand at high pressure into wells that can extend a mile or more underground. State regulators and industry representatives say the process is environmentally sound, but critics say it can pollute surface and ground water and threaten air and soil quality.
The DEQ says fracking has been used in about 12,000 Michigan wells over the past 50 years without harming the environment. But the industry is stepping up drilling in shale formations deeper than most of those targeted before, requiring greater volumes of water.
"Our legislation provides a common-sense approach that balances the needs of Michiganders and our natural resources against the interests of major corporations," said Rep. Ellen Cogen Lipton, a Democrat from Huntington Woods.
One of the bills would let local governments regulate operation and location of fracking wells. Others would require disclosure of chemicals used in the process; increase the required distance between fracking operations and residential areas, as well as certain public places; make drilling companies liable if fracking chemicals are found in drinking water; and allow local governments to request a public hearing in communities where companies seek fracking permits from the state.
At a news conference, Rep. Jim Townsend, D-Royal Oak, said he wants bipartisan support for the package of bills.
Townsend also wants taxpayers to be in the know.
"We're not treating the oil and gas industry in this state like we treat other industries," Townsend said. "We're not regulating them and requiring them to disclose potential dangers to public health and the environment in our state."
DEQ spokesman Brad Wurfel said the agency updated its fracking rules in 2011 and has been meeting with environmental and industry groups. University of Michigan experts are leading a study of fracking's effects on the environmental, economic and social effects of fracking.
"We've got a regulatory structure that has protected Michigan's land and water from hydraulic fracturing for decades," Wurfel said. "At the same time, we recognize there is growing public concern about potential environmental damage out there. We are very open to a conversation about further refining our regulations to address legitimate concerns."

I have been looking for a pumpkin hat pattern for my girls and I just wasn't finding one that was everything I wanted. None were quite perfect so I came up with one that works for me. First I made a hat for my younger daughter and then improved on it when I made a hat for my older girl.
The yarn that I used was Cascade Yarns Cash Vero Aran. It is amazingly buttery soft, perfect for hats for little heads. The colors I chose are Rust for the pumpkin and Light Olive for the stem and leaf. The leaf pattern I used is the just a leaf pattern.
Gauge is approximately 5 spi in stockinette.
To get that gauge I used size 6 needles, both circular needles and dpns. I used size 7 dpns to knit the leaf.
k: knit
p: purl
ssk: slip one stitch as if to knit, slip second stitch as if to purl, knit these two stitches together through the back loops
k2tog: knit 2 stitches together as one
Cast on in a multiple of 10. For my gauge of 5 spi I would cast on 60 for a 0-3 month size, 70 for 3-12 month, 80 for toddler, 90 for child and 100 to make an adult size.
Join in the round and *k8, p2* around. Repeat this row until your hat is the desired length. When in doubt make it longer rather than shorter because you can always roll the brim up. I suggest about 4.5" for 0-3 month size, 5" for 3-12 month, 6" for toddler and 7+" for the child and adult sizes.
Decrease as follows.
Row 1: *ssk, k4, k2tog, p2* repeat around
Row 2: *k6, p2* repeat around
Row 3: *ssk, k2, k2tog, p2* repeat around
Row 4: *k4, p2* repeat around
Row 5: *ssk, k2tog, p2* repeat aroundRow 6: Switch to stem color and knit around.
Row 7: *k2, k2tog* repeat around
Row 8: knit around
Row 9: *k1, k2tog* repeat around
Row 10: knit around
Row 11: k2tog around until only 4 stitches remain.
Knit in i-cord until stem is desired length, approximately 2 inches. On last row of i-cord knit the 2 middle stitches together to decrease to a 3 stitch i-cord. At this point you can add the leaf from the pattern linked above. After binding off the leaf, you can attach the base of the leaf to the base of the stem making a loop of the i-cord as seen in the picture below. If you choose not to add a leaf to the stem then just end i-cord stem at desired length, cut yarn and thread through stitches and secure yarn to inside of hat.

Congress Plays the Blame Game over Sequestration, Feds Left in State of Uncertainty
Attention federal employees: if you are looking for an uplifting story to buoy your spirits this weekend, shut down your computer immediately.
To date there have been a long list of studies published on the potential fallout from $109 billion in mandatory sequestration cuts scheduled to hit the government on January 2, 2013. As NFFE reported last week, estimates predict that hundreds of thousands of federal jobs would be lost. This week, President Obama's budget office affirmed these fears, and urged that Congress make every effort to stop the devastating cuts.
At a hearing before the House Armed Services Committee, Office of Management and Budget Acting Director Jeffrey Zients and Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told the panel the cuts would "at least" result in unpaid furloughs, hiring freezes, and layoffs. According to the Federal Times, both men reiterated that the cuts must be stopped, or risk serious consequences for our national defense and other critical public services.
As the clock ticks closer to January 2nd, both Republicans and Democrats have chosen to play the blame game rather than come to a bipartisan solution to replace the mandated cuts. With Congress's August recess approaching, the odds of that happening grow even smaller. With such a short window of opportunity to create a solution, it is unlikely the House and Senate will come to agreement on anything regarding the sequestration cuts.
As they debate any potential solution, however, it is important that federal employees be involved in the process. Yes, it is crucial to stop the massive cuts to federal agency budgets, but not at the expense of your pensions, pay checks, or jobs, as some have proposed.
"Federal employees are in a tough spot right now," said NFFE Legislative Director Randy Erwin. "Sequestration would be a disaster for federal employees and the agencies for which they work. However, a bad deal to end sequestration that guts federal pay and benefits is unacceptable as well. We need to keep reminding members of Congress that it was not the federal workforce that got us into the fiscal crisis we are stuck in, and federal workers can't be expected to shoulder the bulk of the burden in getting our country out of it. Federal employees have already accepted $75 billion in cuts to their pay and benefits. Congress needs to get serious about a balanced approach to getting our fiscal house in order."

OK, the title is a little misleading because we didn't hike all of Patapsco Valley State Park, but we did take one of the trails off the Park and Ride near the end of 195 and MD 166 (Rolling Road). The trail isn't terribly challenging, it has no significant elevation changes nor does the surface ever deviate much from a dirt path. It's a popular mountain biking path, as evidenced by the dozens of mountain bikers we avoided on our trek through the forest. It makes for a nice walk with a someone lazier dog (we have a Beagle and he's more interested in the scents than anything else).
Here's the marker for the trail head:

TORONTO - Women who develop pre-eclampsia or gestational hypertension during pregnancy are more likely to be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes later in life, a new study suggests.
The authors say doctors should be extra vigilant in testing for diabetes in women who have had either of those conditions in pregnancy, and women should try to lower their risk by maintaining a healthy body weight and by exercising.
"I think it's a message to both women and their physicians," said Dr. Denice Feig, an endocrinologist at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital and first author of the paper.
"A history of pre-eclampsia or gestational hypertension should alert clinicians to the need for preventative counselling and more vigilant screening for diabetes. And for the women themselves ... I think if they knew they were at increased risk, this may make them take precautions such as those lifestyle interventions."
The paper was published Tuesday in the journal PLoS Medicine, a Public Library of Science publication. It was funded by the Canadian Diabetes Association.
It's been known for some time that women who develop gestational diabetes have a substantially higher risk of becoming a diabetic down the road. Gestational diabetes is a temporary form of diabetes brought on by pregnancy.
Pre-eclampsia is a condition that occurs in some pregnancies. Fans of the British TV costume drama "Downton Abbey" will remember it as the condition that killed the pregnant Lady Sybil near the end of this past season.
Pre-eclampsia (the precursor to full-blown eclampsia) is a marked by a trio of classic symptoms — fluid retention, headaches and high blood pressure. While it can be fatal if untreated, ending the pregnancy by inducing delivery or performing a caesarean section will treat the condition.
A few previous studies have suggested a link between pre-eclampsia or gestational hypertension — that's high blood pressure during pregnancy — and the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. But in general the connection is not widely known, Feig said.
So Feig and colleagues undertook a very large study, going over the medical records of more than one million pregnant women who gave birth in Ontario between April 1994 and March 2008. They looked over time to see whether women who developed either of the two conditions went on to be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after their pregnancies.
Feig and her co-authors found that women who had either pre-eclampsia or gestational high blood pressure were twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who did not experience those conditions.
For women who had gestational diabetes, the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes was 13 times higher. Women who had pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes developed Type 2 diabetes at 16 times the rate of other women. And women who had high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy had an 18.5 fold greater risk of developing diabetes.
The study followup was as long as 16.5 years in some causes, though the median length of time was 8.5 years.
Feig said the reason why some women develop these conditions during pregnancy is not well known, but may be related to insulin resistance. That is a condition where the body produces insulin, but doesn't use it effectively, which results in glucose (sugar) building up in the blood rather than being absorbed into cells.
The results of the study are persuasive, suggested Dr. Sarah McDonald, a high-risk obstetrician and assistant professor of maternal and fetal medicine at McMaster University in Hamilton, adding that the study was well done and the findings fit with what is already known about the issue.
"It's been said a number of times before that pregnancy is a stress test for future disease and that list of future diseases, I would say, is growing," she said, noting that it's known that women who have pre-eclampsia, for instance, are at increased risk of developing heart disease later.
McDonald said getting the message out to women who have these problems is crucial. And they should inform their family doctors, who might not be made aware if they develop high blood pressure during pregnancy because at that point they are under the care of obstetricians.
"I think therefore helping women to understand the importance of some of these diseases that come up during pregnancy for their long-term health is really key," McDonald said.
It's also important, she said, that women understand that just because they have pre-eclampsia or gestational hypertension doesn't mean they are destined to develop diabetes. Healthy lifestyle choices can lower that risk, she said.

Quest for justice grinds on.
Councillor v Councillor and only one winner! The one who tells the truth.
He was interviewed under caution by North Wales Police on 21st December (2013). The first detective assigned the case got bogged down in long court case so detective officer Shaun took up the perjury investigation against Cllr Arnold Woolley. Much thought went into my statement as the story is complex and goes back to 2009. Those who are familiar with this blog, which has lain dormant for months; should be told that Arnold Woolley lied on oath before an Adjudication Ombudsman's hearing. Arnold kept a hand written diary and the two entries involving me were wicked porkies for I had never complaint to him that Cllr Patrick Heesom was a bully. The fact Cllr Woolley returned from the Colonial Police Service almost broke was discussed in my tribunal. When he unexpectedly became Leader of Flintshire County Council in 2008, the Woolley finances improved dramatically as Leader's remuneration is generous and he wanted to keep that golden goose a laying. As I had volunteered a statement supporting Patrick Heesom as the Welsh Ombudsman, now known to be as odious as Woolley, I had to be seen off. Patrick was going to be found guilty of code breach and thus, the same treatment was lined up for me.
At the hearing, I was unable to prove the journal was false when Woolley took the oath and lied happily in front of me at the hearing. I was found guilty but not punished by being stripped of being a councillor, a fate that befell Patrick Heesom.
Readers will know I was finally able to prove the journal was untrue . It will also be known that the Ombudsman refused my complaint that Woolley had lied on oath yet put me under investigation again for bullying the fragrant Arnold because I has written to him asking for the original journal as I was considering having the nasty document forensically examined.
Arnold also gave more contradictory evidence about his journal and me when he became the Ombudsman's witness against Patrick Heesom. Three times he was called to the witness box and under a barrage of questions from Patrick's lawyer, Woolley admitted that he had confessed to another Cllr that the diary was wrong but he did not bother to correct this major blunder and finally admitted that "memory is a fickle thing".
Only after Patrick Heesom was found guilty on last July by the what seems to be the most allegedly biased lawyers in the Principality,who cosily sharing a practise in South Wales, were the transcripts released to North Wales police.
I made two complaints; the perjury of course but another equally serious malfeasance in public office when the Ombudsman's Head of Information made a grave error & seemingly deliberate error over a vital email about costs. This email was not in the Ombudsman's bundle of evidence against me but popped up in Patrick's bundle & he was cross examined hard by the PSOW's barrister. Even if the email had been left out inadvertently, difficult to believe as the thread of emails shows only the vital one missing from the middle of chain. The Head of Investigations was present at the hearing when I produced the missing email to the Panel. A clever colleague has recovered it from my computer's service provider.
The file was sent to the CPS middle of February but a wall of silence has since fallen on the investigation. I have learnt that North Wales Police don't comment until charges are laid. Amazing! Didn't stop the local press reporting that Patrick Heesom was under investigation by the PSOW right at the start of the kangaroo enquiry in 2009.
The Metropolitan Police newspaper phone tapping enquiry was heavily reported well before the CPS was involved. The Times front page just as week ago reported on an MP, rejoicing in the name of Bone; is accused of fiddling mother in laws residential home costs. His file was with the CPS. I've waited since 2009 to clear my name and still I wait. I have been the female victim of what could well by a conspiracy to denigrate me. I lost votes at the last Local government election, I had to stump up &10K plus in legal fees & stood down from being a director of a well known local charity.
My reputation has been harmed and I could have been barred from holding public office for up to five years. Arnold Woolley sails on as a member of the Audit Committee, which I chair and this really rocks me as he is a member of the select Authority's Standards Committee with its role of overseeing elected members indiscretions.
Why is he offered such protection? Nothing to do with the fact he was a star witness against Patrick Heesom, as the Ombudsman was totally hoodwinked into believing that the "Journal" was a contemporaneous account of events and was meticulous in its detail. Once Arnold is exposed as an unreliable witness in both tribunals, Patrick and I will be victorious. I also suggest that the PSOW's procedures, only practiced in Wales is so biased the system must be scrapped totally.
The Establishment has another little problem that must be causing angst! The Heesom tribunal chair was a newly appointed judge who made some stunningly difficult to believe statements & decisions. Of the many Councillors, including myself that give evidence for, including a character reference for him; only the witnesses who testified against Patrick were believed. The learned Judge ruled that although the hand written journal may not have been contemporaneous, Woolley's evidence was still trustworthy! Wow. On top of all Cllrs who gave evidence for Patrick not being believed and the Judge was familiar with the transcripts of my hearing and how Woolley agreed on oath that the journal was both contemporaneous and fastidiously accurate; there is something truly wrong with Hywel James judgement
Although Peter Tyndall has been eased out of Wales and back or his native Dublin and his mendacious Head of Investigations sneakily retired from his well paid post, seemingly when the plot began to unravel, will they be called to account and when?
I have a feeling that Arnold's incredible luck will hold & no charges will be laid. Too many public heads will roll if the proper decision is made. What will be the reason for not proceeding?. Too long delayed, not 52% certainly of successful prosecution or even the "catch all", not in the public interest? As the evidence is so strong and the case so serious, maybe all three excuses will be trundled out!
No matter. Justice must be done even if I go down the civil action route. The despicable allegations against me both by the Ombudsman, his side kick, Andrew Walsh and the odious Arnold must be challenged. I or my lawyers will never give up nor should we. Flintshire does't need mendacious Councillors particularly if the only excuse for cynical denigration of Patrick and myself is only on feeble excuse of a fickle memory."

There just happens to be something called Lazarus Syndrome. As a result of this condition at least 38 people have come back from the dead since 1982!
Lazarus Syndrome
Basically, it is the return of circulation after failed attempts at resuscitation.
It takes its name from Lazarus in the Bible.
First, not a lot is known about why this occurs. Some scientists think that it might be because of pressure built up in the chest. This might occur after lengthy CPR. The relaxation of pressure after resuscitation efforts have ended may allow the heart to expand. This could trigger the heart's electrical impulses and restart the heart.
At least 8 cases have actually had happy endings. These occurrences have had little to no neurological complications. Many patients recover fully.
However, the Lazarus phenomenon raises ethical issues for physicians. They must determine when medical death has occurred, and resuscitation efforts should end. Also, they have to decide when postmortem procedures such as autopsies and organ harvesting may take place.
Medical literature has recommended observation of a patient's vital signs for five to ten minutes after resuscitation ends, and before certifying death.

Relationships -Love 'em or Leave 'em?
Are you a loner? Does down time recharge you? Or, do you get your energy from people? Do you like being with others all of the time and when alone find yourself getting lonely and depressed? We are all uniquely different and have different social needs. However, it is 'crystal' clear (can you hear Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men) that we all need to have supportive relationships (2 or 20) for our well being.
There are serious health risks with solidarity that can be compared to the effects of smoking, high blood pressure or obesity. As well, a low social support system can lead to higher depression rates, a decrease in immune function and higher blood pressure.
There are health benefits to having healthy relationships:
1. Live longer (approximately 3 years) – men, especially benefit from a life partner/marriage.
2. Better able to deal with stress- the ability to 'vent' and have someone listen and empathize leads to faster recovery during stressful situations. You can't just talk to yourself all the time 🙂
3. Healthier- people are actually half as likely to catch a cold when they have good social support.
4. Feel wealthier- doubling your group of friends is mentally, like a 50% increase in your income.
So reach out to others! When was the last time you wrote, phoned or texted your old college roommate or best friend from high school? That person who was your partner doing plank stacks this week, what do they do for fun? Take a time out and make plans to visit with an old friend or make a new friend! It requires a little effort but in the end we are simply happier people when we give and receive the love and support from relationships!

Eight repair workers at Russia's main space launch facility in Kazakhstan are feared dead after the roof of a hangar collapsed on Sunday.
Russian space officials say the eight repair workers were on the roof when it suddenly collapsed, and it's unlikely they survived the 80 meter fall to the ground.
The roof fell when three support columns gave way at a large hangar which has long been used to test space vehicles.
The hangar is one of many buildings at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, which has served for decades as the main Russian base for space launches.
A specialized rescue team has been sent from Moscow to the space complex, located out on the vast plains of Kazakhstan.
Space agency officials say that only well-trained experts can enter the partially collapsed building. High winds have also hindered any attempt to rescue the men buried under the rubble.
The hangar was primarily used for the Russian space shuttle known as the Buran, which was discontinued due to lack of funds in the early 1990's.
Russia's space program has long been hindered by reduced state funding since the end of the Soviet Union, and many facilities are in need of repair.
In the past year Russia has turned to space tourism to partly make up for the financial shortfall; an American and, just two weeks ago, a South African have both paid around 20-million dollars to go to the International Space Station.
Both were launched into space from Baikonur, which was also the launch site for the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, in 1961.

Woohoo! Today is the start of SOYFI Week!
When it comes to icons, I'm not the most adventurous chap. I've stuck with the same flag and headshot from my Yahoo avatar since I first set up this blog back in October '08.
I have my reasons for not changing mine (not least of which is that it takes off twenty pounds AND twenty years), but that's not to say I don't enjoy some of the fantastic creations I've seen on my friends' pages.
With that in mind, I've decided that here on An Englishman in New Jersey today is the start of SOYFI Week (Show off Your Favorite Icon Week).
Here's how it works:
Just post your favorite icon (or two icons if you prefer) in a comment below and I'll upload them into this entry for other folks to admire.
This event lasts all week, so if you're feeling creative, why not have a bash at creating your own? Also, if anyone knows of a good website/journal entry where folks can go to learn how to make an icon, please let me know and I'll post a link to it here.
ETA: a_r_williams suggests the following possible sources for icon creation:
Adobe Photoshop ( which has some high and low price point software ), Adobe Illustrator, Gimp ( freeware ), and Inkscape ( freeware ).
Have fun!

Today's marketers rely on social media to reach their audience and increase brand awareness. Social media accounts for 24 percent of all time that Americans spend online. With over 500 million users, Twitter is a perfect fit for businesses and customers alike. The average Twitter user has 208 followers. There are over 400 million tweets sent daily. The people who use this popular social network are hungry for new ideas, information, opportunities, products, and services. Business of all sizes can benefit from using Twitter.
When used properly, Twitter can help you establish your brand, interact with your prospects, track conversations, and find out more about your competitors. This microblogging platform allows you to connect with people around the world and expand your network. You can use it to create buzz around upcoming events, promote your website, and connect with bloggers and industry influencers.
Here are a few ideas on how to use Twitter for business in 2013:
Develop and Promote Your Brand
If you're new to Twitter, focus on building your brand and creating relationships. Try to find people with similar interests and follow them. Share their links and engage in conversations. For the start, you should make connections and expand your company's network. Create an appealing profile by adding your logo along with a targeted bio.
Build Your Network
Following the right people on Twitter is the key to success. Don't follow people randomly. Search for industry influencers, popular bloggers, celebrities, local businesses, and reputable marketers. Leave comments on their posts and retweet their messages. This social network gives you a chance to connect with thousands of people, some of whom you would never get the chance to talk to otherwise.
When I open new Twitter accounts for clients I always start to get the ball rolling by following the top 20 people in their industry via Twellow. This then gets you started and tells the world about you and your brand.
Then at the same time I will make sure my client gets listed in all the major directories in Twellow and that their Twellow description is top notch.
Keep Customers Engaged
Many marketers and business owners are using Twitter for customer retention. Keeping customers engaged is essential to the success of your business. Offer useful information and answer people's questions. Come up with a Twitter communication plan that will draw in potential clients. Try to connect with your audience at a more personal level. For example, you can share pictures of your office, behind-the-scenes information, and personal stories.
Encourage sharing
It is important that through social media you encourage them to share with their followers. That way it is like the old chain letters. Ten of your followers share a link and then they each of 100 followers. This then means that your one tweet is seen by 1000 people.
Then imagine if your following each has 1,000 followers and that 100 people share your link, then their 100 people share it with their 1000. Then if this goes up and up within their followers it is not hard for your link to be seen by millions of people.
But to be able to do this you have to offer something worth sharing….
And that is when viral images come into practice. Instead of just having a simple quote (like everybody else) why not make a nice pretty image and then have it with your logo, your link and of course the quote. They are easy to find the content for and get a lot of attention.
Here is one we have had on DSM Publishing's Twitter feed recently:
And as you can see we have the quote but it also comes with our logo and url for company branding. So whenever someone shares it they are also sharing our brand.
Add Videos to Your Twitter Timeline
Video marketing is one of the most effective business tools out there. Why not use Twitter to share your videos to the world? Upload your videos on YouTube or other online platform, and then link to them in your tweet. This social network has recently launched a new service that enables users to take short videos from the Vine app and share them with their followers. You can use this innovative tool to spread the word about your brand and gain exposure.

Yellowstone National Park and Mount Rushmore National Memorial offer spectacular geological as well as historical features for you to explore. Yellowstone is known for its over 10,000 hydrothermal features with more than 300 active geysers--making up two-thirds of the world's geysers. The national park is also home to an abundance of wildlife. In South Dakota, enjoy a massive historical monument as you tour the world-renowned mountain sculpture of the president's memorials and the surrounding Black Hills.
Visit Yellowstone National Park's valleys, geysers and hot springs; the national park is primarily located in Wyoming. Aside from natural structures, you will also see a variety of wildlife species such as wolves, grizzly bears, elk and bison. Stay within the park at Yellowstone's Canyon Lodge and Cabins near the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Accommodations include lodge rooms and cabin-style units. Staying right in the park offers easy access to all the activities you can enjoy like hiking, fishing and attending ranger-led programs. Tour the Grand Canyon, which is roughly 20 miles long from its Upper Falls to the Tower Fall area. The canyon has a depth of 800 to 1,200 feet and a width from 1,500 to 4,000 feet.
Stop by and explore north of the Yellowstone National Park in Montana. Livingston, a vibrant city in southwestern Montana, is right on the Yellowstone River, just north of the park. While visiting, enjoy fishing in the park's productive waters with native fish species like arctic grayling, westslope cutthroat trout, Yellowstone cutthroat trout and non-native trout species like brook, brown, lake and rainbow. As a northern gateway to the park, Livingston is a mountain town worth exploring in itself. Lodging accommodations in the area include the Blue Winged Olive - An Angler's Bed and Breakfast and Guest Cabin with amenities like guest rooms with decks, private baths, float trips and local tour guide services.
South Dakota
The Mount Rushmore National Memorial Park in Keystone, South Dakota, features the famous mountain sculpture of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. Tour and marvel at the 60-foot high faces of the four presidents high above the 5,725-foot mountain. Hike the Presidential Trail, a short half-mile trail that offers the closest viewpoints of the mountain sculpture. Join ranger-led interpretive walks and talks such as the Evening Sculpture Lighting Ceremony. Plenty of lodging accommodations are available in the area. Mt. Rushmore's Presidents View Resort is right on Main Street in Keystone and offers amenities such as a swimming pool, hot tub and proximity to Crazy Horse and Custer State Park.

I have a very long To Be Read list, and never thought I'd be doing the opposite. I'd love to hear one of your anti TBR in the comments! I saw this on a few blogs, and wanted to create my own. Therefore here is 6 books that I NOT to be read:
1.Harry Potter: I know, please don't hate me, this is a very unpopular opinion. I've just never been into fantasy, so the books never appealed to me. There's far too much expectation to read them now!
2. Brave new world: I have in fact actually attempted to read this before, and did not get very far. It messed with my mind too much, I no longer ever want to read this.
3. Red Queen: I've always been tempted by this book as its been very popular, as it is in every Top YA book list, and is always on every libraries book shelf. Again, I know I wouldn't enjoy this book because of the genre, so I won't be reading.
4. The hunger games: Same opinion as the Harry Potter series^
5. The shining: The main reason I shall not be reading this book as it is far too scary!
6. American Psycho- A book I kind of want to read, but I know will freak me out, so I won't. I do really like the front cover of the book though!

Most people who have anything worth reading will encrypt it anyway so in the end, there's no point in what they're doing except to annoy the public.
I'm sure they store them anyway at the moment...just illegally so they want to legalise asap.

When your estrogen level falls, you may have symptoms. You also may be at a greater risk for osteoporosis and heart disease. Your diet, family health history, lifestyle, and other factors affect your symptoms and risks.
Flashes, flushes, and night sweats are the most common symptoms of low estrogen. At times, blood rushes to your skin's surface. This can give you a feeling of warmth (hot flash). Your face may look flushed. Hot flashes while you are sleeping are called night sweats.
Mood swings are another effect of low estrogen. You may feel sad, anxious, or frustrated. Shifting hormone levels and night sweats may disrupt your sleep. This can cause fatigue, which may make mood swings worse.
Thinning tissues may cause discomfort. Skin may appear more wrinkled. Thinning in the urinary tract may lead to bladder infections. You may also have an urgent need to urinate. Or, you may lose bladder control (incontinence). Thinning of the vagina may cause dryness and painful sex.
Osteoporosis. Estrogen helps maintain strong bones by preventing calcium loss. Too little calcium can increase the risk of fractures in the spine, hips, and leg and arm bones. Women who drink a lot of alcohol, who smoke, who are not active, and who are thin or petite are at greater risk. A family history of osteoporosis may also increase risk.
Heart disease. Estrogen made by the body seems to protect against heart disease. It may do this by raising the level of HDL (good) cholesterol in the blood. After menopause, the risk of heart disease rises sharply. Talk with your doctor about ways to protect your heart health.
Hormone therapy (HT) replaces hormones your body no longer produces. Because of this, it reduces some symptoms of menopause that are linked to low hormone levels. HT may also help prevent osteoporosis in some women. But it may increase the risk of other health conditions, including heart disease, breast cancer, and stroke. You may not need HT—not all women do. Talk to your doctor about whether or not HT is right for you.

Conveniently Timed Classes
Adult Program
We offer adults a unique experience with an array of ballet classes tailored specifically to their needs.
The Academy of Ballet offers a comprehensive adult program designed to meet the special needs of the adult student. The emphasis here is on toning, strengthening, stretching, and increasing flexibility using classical ballet to achieve these goals.
Along with improving one's physique, the adult student becomes acquainted with and part of a great art form. The program is based on a curriculum especially designed for adults—starting at the New Beginning Adult level that will introduce the student to basic alignment and movement using music and classical ballet vocabulary extending to the more challenging Intermediate and Advanced levels. Adult students with prior training may join any of the levels for a trial class to determine the level at which they feel most comfortable.
The adult program is a wonderful opportunity for an artistic physical and social activity, in a non-threatening supportive environment.
The next adult beginning class will start Tuesday, January 14, 2020.
We strongly advise pre-registering for the class if you are interested. Class size is limited and usually fills up in advance of the session's beginning.
Class Schedule and Format
Classes will be held twice per week, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
If interested in putting your name on a waiting list and receiving updates regarding our next session please contact us.
Class Schedule and Format
The class is designed for the adult student who has no formal ballet training or who has studied ballet in the past and wishes to resume training. Emphasis will be on correct placement, body alignment, toning, and stretching. The class will advance at the pace appropriate to the developing skills of the students. Ongoing training in proper ballet technique reshapes body lines, tones muscles, improves balance, strength, grace, and physical coordination in addition to deepening the appreciation of ballet as an art form.
The Academy of Ballet starts a new adult beginning class typically three times a year. If you missed the start of a class series or are otherwise unable to attend, please send us your name and contact information to be added to a waiting list and you will be informed as soon as the new class starts registration.
The adult program has no dress code. Students are requested to wear leotards, tights and ballet slippers of their choice with their hair fastened securely above their neck.

I love sunflowers.
I grow them every summer–Different varieties , various colors– they beautifully accent and brighten the desert landscape.
Sunflowers have been a favorite art subject for ages, and it is probably because of their almost human-like characteristics, as noted on the National Sunflower Association site. Which other flowers do you see drawn with happy faces as much as the sunflower?
I use the sunflower as a symbol of the potential greatness within each of us. A single sunflower houses as many as 800-1200 seeds, depending on its size. Now that's a lot of seeds!
Whenever I go to teach, speak at an event, do a workshop, etc., I take with me 4×6 sunflower photos I designed that say "Seeds of Greatness are within YOU! I hand these out to my classes and others I come in contact with as a reminder that seeds of greatness are in them. I especially like giving them to children and teens as tools of encouragement.
Each of us have seeds within us to do great things, and I'm willing to bet we have more than the sunflower if we look at our seeds as things we can plant in the lives of others such as an encouraging word, a helpful hand, a random act of kindness.
We also have seeds of potential to do great things–to step out and make a difference in the world. That world could be your home, your neighborhood, your city.
Yes, and we also have seeds to take risks and fulfill dreams that are in us. We're told that so many leave this world with their potential untapped and dreams unrealized.
Don't let that number of your age stop you! Don't believe that all you could be has already been used up. We are eternal beings. We are like a perpetual gift, forever being unwrapped with new discoveries within us.
I encourage you to use those seeds of potential within you and grow them into the great things you were designed for, and the great things you can do. The world needs what you have.

What is Gerontechnology?
There are always new buzzwords and code words that professionals are using in order to explain things that are going on in our new, interesting world. But, because of that, you may be at a point where, while you're researching certain things, you may be curious as to what some terms mean and if they affect you.
If you have an aging family member, you may be looking to figure out what it is that you need to do in order to help them out. During your search, you may have come across a term – gerontechnology. What is this and why does it matter today? What is going on in this area of study that can help older adults to have their best life aging that they can?
Defining Gerontology
Before we can define gerontechnology, we want to look at gerontology first. In short, gerontology is the study of older adults and what their world is like. It looks at a number of different aspects of senior citizen's lives, from societal views, to caring for them, to medical needs and more. Gerontechnology is studying how people can help older people through the aging process and as they proceed toward the end of their lives.
Where Did Gerontechnology Come From?
So, with this, it's important to see that gerontechnology has become a bit of a thing over the years. Not only does it involve looking at how older adults interact with technology, but it also approaches how technology can be used to assist older adults as they age. Whether they're in nursing homes, assisted living, or living independently, technology can be used in order to help older adults with their daily lives. This field studies how this can become a reality.
How Can Technology Assist with Aging?
There are a lot of different ways that technology can assist with aging. For example, cameras and emergency systems can play a significant role in preventing problems related to falls, which are common in older adults. They can help family members or emergency services determine when an older adult has fallen and may be unable to call for help themselves as a result of that fall. It can also help with mobility, medication, and a number of other areas that are important to consider during the aging process.
Where is this Field Going in the Future?
There are so many new technologies coming out, and the ones that focus on older adults are just getting better all of the time. It's become its own industry, and it's really not surprising that it is starting to make a huge difference for older adults with all sorts of abilities and circumstances.
As you can see, gerontechnology is a big deal and it's just going to become an even bigger deal as the more technology-savvy generations start to age. There is a lot to be done here and, as you look at what is going on, you'll find that it can be a really big advancement to help older adults get what they need with the help of specialized technologies.

A Snapshot Of Furzey Gardens
Furzey Gardens describes itself as 'a haven of peace and tranquillity' and that's just about right because I think on the wettest bank holiday I can remember we were just about the only group of people visiting. It had been planned some weeks ago and being very much of the 'there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes' school of thought I wasn't going to be thrown off by a 'bit' of rain. Especially because this has been on my visiting wish list ever since it won a gold medal at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2012 with it's very first entry. When looking for a garden somewhere in The New Forest to meet my chum Annie and her children I put a call out on twitter, with one or two exceptions Furzey was the response, so it was game on.
Planted in 1922, it's an informal space, with a myriad of pathways meandering away from the original sixteenth century cottage and kitchen garden down to a lake full of lillies and through the woodland. As might be expected in such a setting the planting is mainly trees and shrubs that have been chosen to provide colour and interest throughout the year. Azaleas and Rhododendrons in spring, bluebells, cyclamen and narcissus, through to autumn where the beautiful, warm fire shades of red and orange from the foliage take over. Dotted around the gardens are shelters, child appealing tree houses and a bug barn all with 'Furzey thatching'. If you look carefully there are even fairy doors to be found. The Chelsea garden is also recreated here. It's all rather magical.
Whilst being a beautiful space what also makes this garden really special is that it is run by the Furzey Gardens Charitable Trust part of the larger Minstead Training Trust. The trust provides residential care and horticultural training to adults with learning disabilities and its students work within the gardens and nursery gaining horticultural experience and craft skills. These crafts are sold in the gift shop and plants that they will have raised can be bought from the nursery.
A little bit of enchantment set right in the heart of the New Forest
Minstead is just outside of Lyndhurst. The location map can be found here.
Opening Times and Prices
Gardens open daily from 10am to 6pm all year round.
The Gallery Gift and Coffee Shop is open from 1st March to the end of October. Daily from 10am to 5pm. Last orders for refreshments are 4.15pm.
Prices and Donations
Entrance to the nursery, gift and coffee shop is free.
Entrance to the Gardens is by set minimum donation of :
Adults £7.50
Children (ages 4-16) £4.00
Children under 4 are free
Family ticket (2 adults and 3 children) £19.50
Disabled visitor and helper free
Annual "Furzey Friends" Membership £49.50 (member and up to 3 guests).
