Beseems a couple of the more curmudgeonly folk in this corner of the innernets have gone a-curmudgeoning on the subject of Erin Palette-as-recently-revelated. They ain't at all comfy with matters as they are and are gonna use the pronouns that seem right to them.
Curmudgeons serve a purpose and a valuable one: to stand facing Change, shouting Oh Hell No and occasionally putting their shoulder to the wheel to keep it right where it is.
This is a good thing -- too much change too fast can create a terrible mess. I hope folks will be as polite and as tolerant of 'em as they have been of Erin. Yes, yes, some people we like do not happen to agree with one another. It happens. It's okay. Human beings are not ants.
It'd be a damn dull world if we all shared the same views.
* "The internets got drama, mama, you don't even hafta go outside/Saddle up the drama llama, ride to the Book of Face/There's mean nasty awful stuff there/an' lots of angst to waste." And so on. If I could sing and had a guitar, I could be a famous artiste, if I knew how to play guitar. Even just a little, like a ukelele. Remember, online ain't real life, at least not 'til the P*yP*l bill arrives.

Perhaps it was because the bearded lady was my mother's best friend, my dad helped the lobster man change flats - and all the other people who do not fit the mold I was raised around, but I cannot understand those who put the hate on people for things physical.
Those who are without spirit or tolerance for the differently endowed who should get the shaft.

I have no problem with Erin because the internet is where we make of ourselves what we want.
Besides Erin came into our world and accepted us as we were, we can do the same with her.
Its probably the Brony thing ....

Larry: Fixed and I thank you!
Stranger: Let us not confuse putting on the hate with merely not going along -- or, for that matter, with conflict over things other than the central issue of the moment. Active loathing ("Burn the witch!") is not the same as passive squickery ("Ew, the new neighbor is reanimating the dead in his basement? I am never inviting him over for a cookout!")
Nor ought tolerance be a blanket excuse for generalized fail: for instance, if you have a gay waiter and he's no good at the waitering, it's not homophobic to leave a lousy tip.
Conversely, manners matter: Tam and I get along pretty well with our neighbor, The Democrat, because she's a decent and *nice* person. We acknowledge our often-opposing views, they are not secrets but we concentrate on the things we have in common, like a fondness for cats or the 5' each of yard between our houses which would be useless fenced.

As a self-professed Curmudgeon myself, I don't care who does what to whom, when, or where, so long as they don't have any intention of forcing me into their mold against my will.
I did marry a card-carrying liberal Democrat, after all.

They get cards? Dang. See, that's what sucks about being an anarchist, there aren't any membership perqs, or even a common logo.
The older I get, the more questions I have and the fewer answers.

But doesn't that mean you get to make up your own cool logo, slogan, and cards? :)

My problem with the whole "gonna use what pronouns feel natural to them" is that it's rude. Before they'd heard about me, they were perfectly fine referring to me as "she" and "her"; now that I've come out, they're going to call me "he" and "him", by golly by gum, when the only thing that's changed is a tiny bit of information.
It's rather like calling your neighbor "Bob" for years, and then one way you find out he doesn't go to church, and from then on you call him "Godless Heathen". What's worse, you do it to his face, in conversation to him.
Where I come from, that kind of outright rudeness earns you a butt-kicking in the real world -- but sadly, it is as yet impossible to kick someone's butt over the internet. This safety from the consequences of their actions leads people to say things they'd never say to someone else's face.
- September 1, 2013 at 11:47 PM
- Roberta X said...
It's a rude world sometimes, Erin. What you call "a tiny bit of information" what sex a person is, is significant. Me being a gurrl in a very tech-y line of work has cost me jobs, raises and credibility. After 20+ years in my job, outside techs and contractors still will turn to any male standing beside me, even the janitor, to discuss engineering stuff I am in charge of.
One cannot demand politeness of others.
- September 2, 2013 at 12:40 AM
- Erin Palette said...
I beg to quibble.
One cannot expect politeness of others.
However, I can, and do, demand it. (I don't always get it, of course.)
Whether this course of action makes me principled, stubborn, or foolish is open to debate. ;)
- September 2, 2013 at 12:43 AM
- Roberta X said...
P.S. I dunno how to break this to you but there's not nearly so much butt-kicking per se in Girlville. Reinforcement is more subtle -- and often more vicious.
- September 2, 2013 at 12:46 AM
- Roberta X said...
Erin. Chill. There are things you don't grok about queueing and male privilege. You may never have to, but right now it is important to remember that we ourselves can be decorous and well-mannered even when some of those around us are not.

Once again the word on the street suggests there's a new telephone poll begun today. It'll likely run through this weekend so prepare to be asked questions on the Hoboken mayoral election.
(See the update below for the MSV Exclusive questions in the poll.)
According to one reliable source, this telephone poll doesn't originate from the Romano or Bhalla campaign. The DeFusco campaign ran one recently and no one knows what the Giattino campaign is up to as they were privy to another recent poll.
So basically, this is a poll there's not much details available on to this point entering the weekend. One reader who got the poll described it this way. "I got a push poll that had slanted questions attacking Bhalla, DeFusco, Giattino and Romano." Who's left? "No one, it was equal parts negative questions on all of them," was the answer. (Not what's going on now from other Hoboken residents. It's a push poll for Ravi "saving the hospital" again!)
Enter the bizzaro election world Hoboken. Hang on, there's more. Things are getting testy as this weekend will pass the 30 day mark on to November 7th, Election Day. The word on the street is there is an APB for the Horse's head, on a stick if possible. Even though Councilman Ravi Bhalla has been hardly grazed, all manners of ugliness are springing up with vicious personal attacks unseen in the worst days of Hoboken411 over on Sybil's Cave.
If you supported most the mayor's initiatives for the past eight years does that mean you can't decide for yourself who is the best candidate for Hoboken in 2017? Wheely?
Some less than stellar people are falling all over themselves trying to dirty up Team Giattino. Anyone and everyone who believes City Council President Jen Giattino is not only the most trusted, on and off the Hoboken City Council but the best candidate dedicated to Hoboken and able to tackle the issues in the coming years is targeted for the most vile personal attacks.
|Sybil's Cave, only the most foul and unclean evil may enter. The worst bile since Hoboken411 and then some.
Councilman Ravi Bhalla touts his campaign as being issue based but most of the mudslinging is coming from his fanatical unofficial online HQ at Sybil's Cave. They feed the fuel and dump information there fast and more furious than the gunrunning to Mexico of the same name. There's all manner of whining, crying and foaming that Ravi Bhalla should be the de facto mayor come November. Deviation means you are any number of ugly things or tagged with the crimson letter: racist.
Divorcing himself from all that ugliness is going to get harder as people become more and more turned off by the Bhalla campaign's cynical proclamations of national candidacy victimhood while dealing the race card from the bottom of the deck ala Al Sharpton. The vile personal attacks by cowards in the comments section exceeds the worst ever seen on Hoboken411.
Hobokenites who supported most of the initiatives in the past eight years of Mayor Zimmer apparently implies some sort of lifetime servitude. You are bound by some sort of "loyalty" and religious obedience code. As if.
Councilwoman Tiffanie Fisher who also serves as the Chair of the Hoboken Democratic Committee is being targeted as is City Council President Jen Giattino herself. Even as Mayor Zimmer did not testify for MSV in 2015 in the frivolous litigation trial, one coward says she did. Other lies reportedly claim some veiled extortion on the mayor's family. What lying cowardly scumbags! No wonder a zombie couldn't look a Horse in the eye only last month. Are you responsible for spreading this?
At the end of the SLAPP-suit trial, Mayor Zimmer was available to testify for the one person who might have seen any issue reach the jury. Let's say it wasn't either of the male defendants and leave it there. If any coward finds his balls, this Horse is available here and they know how to reach me. Let's meet up. Soon. Cuz I would love it!
If anything, there's been next to no public discussion during this campaign on Ravi Bhalla's conflicts with Suez Water and NJ Transit not to mention the First Amendment lawsuits with his ejections of two Hoboken residents during a live council meeting in 2015. One lawsuit is already paid out for over $50,000 as reported earlier this year and the other will likely cost Hoboken much more, not counting legal fees. Who made that call?
It's one thing to be a cowardly crybaby; but to be a total lying scumbag on top of it? When might the Bhalla campaign put an end to it? Well, why should they? Sybil's Cave is the next best thing to hosting your own chapter of Hoboken Antifa. Oh yeah, the Bhalla campaign wouldn't condemn Antifa's political violence either last summer. Something about "standing up" to bigotry.
How much lower will they go? 32 days.

Communications from the campaigns in last 2 weeks
1. Have you received mail from Ravi Bhalla in the last 2 weeks?
2. Did that literature give you a more favorable or less impression of Ravi Bhalla?
3. In past 2 weeks have you seen posts on Facebook about Ravi Bhalla?
4. Did the posts on Facebook give you a more favorable or less impression of Ravi Bhalla?
5. Have you received an email from Ravi in the past 2 weeks?
6. Here are some reasons given by people for supporting Ravi Bhalla. Do they make you more likely or less likely to support Ravi Bhalla?
7. As a councilman & council president Ravi Bhalla worked closely with Mayor Zimmer to turn around Hoboken and restore fiscal responsibility to broken city government that was known for corruption – Zimmer knows all candidates and is backing Ravi because he is the most qualified and best candidate?
8. Ravi Bhalla put forward a detailed planned on major issues – plans to upgrade infrastructure, reducing flooding, holding the line on taxes & securing more open space (some others can't remember) Ravi has– has ideals and vision for Hoboken?
9. Ravi Bhalla has been an effective advocate for civil rights, is an attorney and as a councilman he has and as mayor he will stand up to president trump. He will represent people regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, equally
Some statements made about other candidates for mayor. Do these give you very serious reservations, fairly series reservations, somewhat serious reservations, or not at all any reservations?
· Michael Defusco has been on city council for less than 2 years and has no major accomplishments – he doesn't have experience to be mayor.
· Anthony Romano is running for freeholder and mayor at the same time. His name will appear on the ballot twice. If he was really committed to being mayor of Hoboken he would not have a backup plan.
· As a Republican who has never publicly criticized Trump, Jen Giattino can't be counted on to stand up to the president. She is not the best person to represent our values
· Ravi Bhalla is a partner in a politically connected law firm that uses contacts to get government business. His firm represents the Hoboken water company – Suez – and he has been forced to recuse himself on important votes because of this.
· Ravi Bhalla would be Hoboken's 1st Sikh mayor. Some people claim that he doesn't understand the needs of Hoboken and won't represent our values (the, if you don't vote for Ravi you're a racist question)
How long have you lived in Hoboken, under 5 years, 5-10 years, 10-20 years, more than 20 years, since birth
Do you own or rent?

This is what I was doing yesterday, and oh, my soul is still singing! I had a surprise phone message from my Aunt Eleanor yesterday morning. She and my Aunt Diane, who both live in Texas, were going to be passing through my area for a few hours with Aunt Diane's grand-daughters, Sadie and Maddie. Would I be interested in meeting them for lunch? Heck YEAH! it had been probably about 15 years since I last saw Aunt Eleanor and almost 20 since seeing Aunt Diane. you bet your sweet bippee I wanted to see them!!!!! :)
but instead of going for a schmancy fancy lunch out, I asked it they would be interested in grabbing sandwiches and heading for a whirlwind trip to see my fam at their various locales. well they were all over that like a Texan on bbq, so we made plans to meet. Ryan has been at Band Camp all this week, so he made special arrangements with his band director for us to stop by for a few minutes. it brought back lots of fun high school memories for my aunts to see the marching band out on the field practicing! and they were most impressed Ryan gave me a hug in front of everyone. ;) awwww...... my guy!
then we were off to Camp Burton to meet up with everyone else. Camp's current session is a very special one called Camp Sue. it is for special needs children and teens to have the opportunity to attend an outdoor camp and experience swimming, ropes courses, zip lines, etc,. just like everyone else over the summer. it is a great time for everyone, and I am so glad my family had the chance to drop by during this amazing time! Tyler took Maddie and Sadie on a quick tour of Camp while the 'grown ups' visited, and Sadie even went down the Thunder Tube, a really cool enclosed ride that you go down on a sled - summer or winter. She had a blast!
So my heart is filled to overflowing at getting to see my precious precious aunts and cousins! oh how I love them so dearly! thanks for letting me share a special part of what matters the most to me with all of you. now go give YOUR family great big bearsized hugs right now! :)

1st Annual FootGolf Shootout a Success
On Saturday, August 22nd, Active Children Portland hosted our first annual Active Children Portland FootGolf Shootout Sponsored by adidas. 113 players participated in the tournament at Glendoveer Golf Course. The Shootout was a huge success. Thank you for helping us raise $11,000! We're already looking forward to next year's event!
"It was so much fun! Everyone was having a great time and thanks to our sponsors, we had great food and drinks to enjoy as we played. I was really encouraged by the huge turnout," said Active Children Portland Executive Director Ben Dudley.
The FootGolf Shootout was a tournament with prizes for lowest over all score, closest to the pin and longest drive. We also had a hole in one competition sponsored by Mercedes Benz of Wilsonville. We had 4 players win a Mercedes for the weekend after scoring a hole in one!
"I was shocked when I learned that 4 people made hole in ones! Crazy! Even more crazy was 3 people made a hole in one on the closest to the pin contest. We held a shootout for the prize. It was an epic day!"
Active Children Portland would like to thank our title sponsor adidas for their continued support, and for providing soccer balls, socks, and employee store passes to our participants. Additionally, thank you to Base Camp Brewing Co. for providing beer, and Chipotle for providing lunch. Finally, thank you to the Northrup Corporation, Providence, Mercedes Benz of Wilsonville, Safeco, and Northwest Bank for their support. We truly appreciate our sponsor's support.
"Also, a huge thank you to Austin Early and Evan Lundgren for putting the tournament together! Without their help, this event would not have happened."
Scroll down to check out some photos from the event, and we'll see you there next year!

We all know how crazy this weather can be. Last week it was blazing with temperatures reaching the 90's. Today it just so happens to be in the upper 50's, with rain clouds threatening to release a torrential downpour. The constant back and forth with the weather can get irritating, especially when you don't know if you should suffer the cold in the morning or risk burning up in the afternoon. Luckily I have came up with one of my favorite outfits that easily transcends the ups and downs that occur during this Spring transitional period that can keep you comfortable all day! Make sure you stay tuned for the giveaway announcement!
Almost everyone I know has a white cotton t-shirt and if you don't, I highly suggest you invest in a nice one. I was lucky enough to snag this from my boyfriend's closet (thanks bae) to pair it with one of my favorite pair of jeans. With a t-shirt and jeans look you can never go wrong. All you need is the right accessories to bring it all together. I know I have been harping on the importance of accessories lately, but I hope you all are getting the point.
Cotton tees are breathable enough to help you deal with the rising temperatures, but comfortable enough to hold you down during that brisk walk to the car. I love to wear my tees alone (especially if they have a graphic) or with a light cover up (jean shirt or cardigan). Having the option to easily switch out different aspects of your look helps keep things versatile and travel friendly. Because no one wants to carry around 3 different outwear pieces in order to stay comfy throughout the day.
A nice pair of jeans can take you a long way and I am so happy that I found this pair at Express last summer. In Denim Days I go into detail about my love hate relationship with jeans and how I realized that the quality of a garments sometimes outweighs the aspect of price. Aside from that, jeans are perfect for keeping you comfortable during chilly mornings and warmer afternoons! I love to get my jeans cropped (even though I am short and still have to roll them up) or capri length. Full length can work also depending on how warm you expect it to be.
My favorite transitional accessory styled with this look happens to be my JORD watch! I chose the Reese watch in Zebrawood and Emerald. Looking through the watches, this piece stood out to me the most and the moment I saw it I knew it would be the perfect addition to my growing watch collection. I am a person of texture and color having a watch made of wood happens to be the coolest thing to me. Wood grain and texture is reminiscent of Fall and Winter, while the Emerald color reminds me of the freshness of Spring. It is a piece that encompasses both aspects of my two favorite seasons, helping me transition seamlessly from one to the next.
I also made sure to draw out the colors in my graphic tee and did so by wearing my Koko necklace from Moon and Lola and my Kingfisher belt from FH Wadsworth. These two accessories were so much fun to wear and the colors were amazing. I really love how this look came together to create this cute and comfy sporty look perfect for transitioning weather!
Now, because I love you all so much I am partnering with JORD to give YOU a chance to win $100 credit towards your own JORD watch! All you have to do are these 3 simple steps:
1. Follow me on Instagram: @Genuinely_AA
2. Like the original giveaway post (on Insta).
3. Enter officially at this link: https://www.woodwatches.com/g/thestrongsuit
That's it!! Simple right? Even if you don't win the $100 you can still receive a $25 credit just for entering the giveaway. So either way it is a win-win!
Make sure you visit my homepage here to shop your favorite wood watches and let me know how you would style them! The contest ends on May 21, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. Do not wait until the last minute! Enter now!

U.S., Iran Near Talks as Iraq Chaos Worsens
Whatever the United States or Iran does in response to the Iraqi crisis, there are wider international considerations at stake. Washington Institute Senior Fellow Michael Eisenstadt joins WSJ's Michael Casey on the News Hub to discuss. Photo: AP

... the ... whatever the U S or Iran does in response the Iraqi crisis there awhile it's nice to considers his study and discuss them ... with joined by Michael Eisenstadt ... senior fellow and director of the Washington D C its military and security studies but in ... the morning Michael ... morning thanks adjoining us ... so the ... Michael EZU SUNE millet response the right way to go ... well I think our interests are aligned in ... preventing a NYSE's victory ... but I think they're cute things the first half to keep in mind that I'm ... I think that we shouldn't assume that and and and and we saw up on ... occurring in northern Iraq where Isis was able to achieve this series where string of military victories ... because basically the Iraqi security forces in the north ... were seen as army of occupation I don't think that the Nano will hold in the center of the country where you had better military units with him is the aam ... there is more time to time as a sectarian whole homogenized to the units ... on and the ice this will be operating in hostile areas so that that's the first thing ... um so I think we need to step back and take a deep breath ... as I don't think I says ... they will try to get to Baghdad with the going will get much tougher for them as get closer to the capital ... the second thing with regard to Iran although we have ... our interests are aligned ... we have to keep in mind that they have a very different ideas the solution ... and our interests in terms of how to deal with ICE's is diametrically opposed to ours ... Iran would want ... to crush on this day guides isn't in the cities ... and to ensure the Shiite hegemony on in Iraq ... the solution that I think we would wanna work for and I think we will be working for is to get the Maliki government to try to encourage ... Sunnis ... to work together with the government to give a devices on the kind of low along the model that worked during the US the plot the so called the tribal awakening in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven which help us defeat al Qaeda last the last time ... and that will hopefully and I think this is kind of wishful thinking but ... um that would hopefully ... May that the basis for ... perhaps some posts profit pre conciliation between the God of government the largely Shiite government ... and the Sunni community ... I don't think any commitment that Maliki makes it any kind of put the reforms if the if you were to make them when the was anything ... but I think it would be daddy's the basis for ... on some kind of cooperation to deal with slices we don't want the Iranian solution ... so there might be limited basis for cooperation on on on on a very selective basis ... on on on you know ... particular issues ... but overall the solution that they would want is exactly the opposite of the solution that we've ... but he just said in a its many wishful thinking that that that no Maliki considered come up with some Time coalition around but I mean ... that they would all is bad law to new cities in the store is of course about the the claims of a massacre ... I imagine that the ... relations between Shi'ites this unease within Iraq right now as bad as the David Bain ... and how how how possible is it to to pull together some sort of alliance between these these disparate sectarian groups ... it'll be very difficult to already there's a lot of bad blood ... ECB the Maliki government among the Sunni community and for good reason um ... but that the challenge of leadership and that's the challenge that Maliki faces and that the choice he faces ... and depending on what choices we make that will have an impact on how we handle this crisis and how we decide to go about it ... on that on that basis the need to say we have the military options certainly was to use air power if Baghdad is threatened directly especially if American personnel in the in the international zone often directly but beyond that ... I think we should be varying restraint in offering the use of military force on behalf of the government that is ... liable to use in a way that his country to our interests and integrate the harm our relationship with the rest of the region ...

Liverpool emerged victorious tonight in a one goal thriller against Sparta Prague, in an unusually timed early kick off, which according to whichever source you care to believe, was scheduled by Channel Five in order that it not clash with Coronation Street.
Or C5 pundit Stan Collymore to pursue certain unspecified nefarious activities in the Southport area.
In a scintillating contest, Ngog displayed amazing levels of incompetence in front of goal, and Krygiakos showed that he can bleed and huff and puff to no effect with the best of them.
Joe Cole provided ample evidence of why he is destined for either Fulham or West Ham in the summer, and Dirk Kuyt eventually managed to put one in to spare the reds blushes. Which makes a change. Usually he just runs about like a headless chicken, panicking opponents and team mates alike.
So, in this Europa League extravaganza, the Czechs were bounced, the Scousers live to fight another day, and a nation was bored rigid as the famous Kop managed a squawky version of the Fields Of Anfield Road and YNWA before, thankfully, we could safely forget the whole embarrassing experience.
Mind you, the Liverpool coaching staff looked well dapper in their black puffa jackets with yellow trim.
At least fashion appears to be alive and kicking in Scouseland...
More as we get it.

Great post and i feel the enjoyment.
One Birdie, Several Bogies, and Loads of Fun at Four Seasons Resorts Challenge at Manele in Lana'i, Hawai'i
For quite some time, I've wanted to make my blog more of a family affair, as both of my sisters are also very talented writers. Neither of them seemed much interested until I hired my youngest sister, Nancy Judevine, as my virtual assistant a while back. Since then, she's accompanied me on two trips, most recently to Lana'i, Hawai'i as part of their #VisitLanai Artist in Residence program. Her price of admission? She had to write an article for the blog. I'm a devious sort of devil sometimes, but I think you'll agree that she's got a natural talent for travel writing. And I hope she's hooked, because I'd like to read much more about her personal travels, with and without me. Please help me encourage her by leaving comments after reading her debut post below. Barbara Weibel
I've never been a sporty girl. I couldn't make the bat hit the ball or throw with any accuracy. And dribble a ball? While running? Forget about it. Oh sure, for years I taught aerobics, step aerobics and kickboxing, but that doesn't make me athletic. It just means that I can move to a beat and count to eight. So, six years ago, when I first swung a golf club, actually hit the ball, and it went somewhat in the direction I thought I aimed, I was hooked. Finally, a sport I wasn't horrible at! And, no one to compete against – just my golf ball and me.
Fast-forward to my first trip to Hawaii, the beautiful island of Lana'i, which boasts two world-class golf courses – the Four Seasons Resorts Challenge at Manele and the Experience at Koele. As Barbara's virtual assistant and traveling companion I was offered the opportunity to play a round at one of the courses. I chose the Challenge at Manele mainly for the spectacular ocean views and fantastic photo opportunities for Barbara, who planned to ride along.
I began to get a little nervous the day before my round. I figured I would be paired up with a twosome, but was hoping they wouldn't be the super serious type of golfer. I have played at country clubs and private courses, and I know how to practice good golf etiquette, but I mostly play public courses where the atmosphere is very casual. When it's just my husband and I we play "speed golf," we don't pull the flag, putt a couple of times and move on to the next hole.
The next morning I was up early and ready to go far ahead of time, so I decided to go to the lobby and ready my clubs. LugLess, a company that offers door-to-door pick up and delivery of luggage and sports equipment, generously agreed to provide complementary shipping of my clubs, and they were a pleasure to work with. I simply packed my clubs, attached the labels provided by email, and set them on my porch for pick-up. The clubs arrived at Manele Bay promptly, and the whole process was seamless and effortless on my part.
When we arrived at the course I was pleasantly surprised to find a laid-back atmosphere with no sign of the stuffiness I feared. The starter pointed out the GPS unit, cooler with ice and water, and invited me to use the driving range. I warmed up, hit a few balls, and off we went on our own to the back nine. I had heard about the signature 12th hole, where the back tees force a 200-yard shot over the ocean to the green. The forward tee, however, is a much more forgiving 64 yards. I was able to pop my shot on to the green, and actually sunk a 12-yard putt for a birdie. Having my own clubs was definitely a factor here!
The Challenge is a truly beautiful course, designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, with breathtaking ocean views. We kept a comfortable pace, and Barbara had plenty of time to take photos. At different points we paused to watch turkeys cross a tee box and a Red-crested cardinal hop around a green. My final score was neither my best or worst, and I lost more than a couple of balls. Even so, it was the highlight of my trip.

I go to see day-to-day a few web pages and information sites to read articles or
reviews, but this weblog provides quality based content.

I enjoyed the photos and commentary on your golf game in Paradise. With whom did you golf? No photos of your companions. Keep the travelogues coming!
I myself am not a golfer or a sporty. I still come with my husband who is fond of sports especially golfing. Whenever he goes abroad, he never miss visit a golf course. I think Lanai Hawaii is a great choice. I'll try convincing him to put it on the our bucket list.
Fun reading about your golf outings, Nancy. What a gorgeous course! The hubby and I have been talking about taking up golf. Lana'i looks like it might be the right place to start. Of course, I might be totally distracted by the views.
I have to admit to being a tad confused to find an article about golfing here, but it turned out to all make sense very quickly. Lovely photos and a great story 🙂

What started out as essentially a public diary to document my breastfeeding experience is now a solid resource for first-time parents. Blogging has exposed me to an encouraging group of influencers, content-pushers, entrepreneurs, and mamas who are also trying to navigate their way through what it means to be a parent as a millenial. You'd think having this sweet band of virtual new friends at my fingertips would uplift me – but, I found myself in what felt like the world's longest rut for weeks.
My days went from filling my mind with memories to filling my phone with content. I stopped being present with my family and started paying more attention to my feed. I became so obsessed with marketing, scrolling, liking, and tagging – and, my spirit became crushed if I didn't feel like I was keeping up.
Blogging can be intimidating: the staged photos of a fresh cup of coffee, perfect placement of product to get a flawless flatlay, making sure the light catches your child's glowing face at the table before it's covered in pureed peas, carefully captioning posts with the right buzz words and hashtags that are used-but-not-overdone, and [OH. MY. GOD.] if one more person tells me to follow a list of strangers so that I can win whatever you are giving away today.
Social media has become a way to stay "connected" to friends, family, celebrities, and strangers. I use "connected" in quotations – because, I don't think me double-tapping a photo of your family vacation means I got a postcard with details. The only way to truly feel connected to someone is to talk to them. Because it's so easy to forge our identity on social networks, the Internet only knows who we figuratively are…
…and, that's what causes us to play the comparison game.
We all do it. We scroll past the picture of the beautiful mama smiling at her bubbling toddler dressed in Madewell from head-to-toe without a cloud in the sky or a tantrum in sight and we instantly think our life is inferior. We double-tap the photo of the woman drinking coffee at sunrise in her white bed and start to feel 'less than' since we had to drive in to an office or wake up to a screaming hungry babe.
Facebook and Instagram are glorified wells of comparison. They are daily invitations to make sure you're measuring up to the next person who comes across your feed. If you're not careful, you can find yourself constantly feeling insecure every time you open up that little app on your phone – like I did.
That's why I think it's totally okay for social media to take a back seat, especially as a blogger. Continuously pushing content and marketing for followers can take a mental toll after a while – and, you could find yourself indefinitely smelling the roses of someone else's life (or, feed) rather than sniffing the crap out of your own. Sure, I've lost a bit of traffic on Life With Leo and The Oil Exchange since ditching the all-day scroll – but, I guarantee you I'm a lot better for it.
My life is not always aesthetically-pleasing and my child is not always well-behaved. My clothes aren't from Pink Blush and my white bedding may look dingy on most days. I'm not a perfect Christian, wife, mother, daughter, sister, employee, or friend – but, I can confidently say that I pride myself on always being who I am regardless of if I gain a few followers or not.
This isn't a "goodbye-for-now-see-ya-when-I-see-ya" post as Life With Leo is very much alive, well, and will continue to be for days and weeks to come – but, hopefully it reminds you of yet another way to engage in self-care…
…and, you won't have to wonder why I've gone missing for weeks.

UConn freshman Katie Lou Samuelson rounding out her game
MEMPHIS, Tenn. >> Just a couple days earlier when Katie Lou Samuelson checked into UConn's win at South Florida for the first time, she made her presence felt by doing what she is known for best — letting shots fly from the perimeter.
Samuelson, the reigning national high school player of the year, attempted five shots before she got herself into the box score in any other category against the Bulls.
When Samuelson was summoned off the bench midway through the first quarter during Wednesday's game at Memphis, it didn't take long to figure out she was not willing to be merely a one-dimensional player.
Less than a minute after stepping onto the court in the Huskies' 86-46 victory, Samuelson recorded her first rebound, then 14 seconds later she displayed some toughness by fighting for an offensive rebound following a missed shot by Morgan Tuck.
Samuelson is likely to have a more gaudy stat line than the one she put together against Memphis, but Samuelson's willingness to venture into the dirty areas of the court displayed just how much progress she has made since the beginning of the season.
"She has been getting more aggressive every day," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "Her practices are getting better, she is doing more things and it is not unusual that the more things that you start doing that the more your shot starts dropping. She is doing so many different things right now that her confidence level is way higher than it was a month ago."
Samuelson finished with 11 points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 23 minutes at Memphis, the third straight road game for the Huskies. Her 3-point shooting, a calling card during her remarkable high school career, was a part of the performance as Samuelson drained a pair of treys, but she admitted that getting her hands on a couple of rebounds in the early going did set the tone for the rest of the game.
"Just going in and getting that rebound kind of gave me a bounce in my step and made me ready for the rest of the game," Samuelson said. "Instead of having a slow start where I did nothing, I got in there, got an offensive rebound. Whenever I come off the bench, that is what I need to do. I need to do something that is going to get my game going and I am not just relying on that first 3 that I am going to hit. I have noticed different ways that I have been able to get points, mostly if I focus on getting other people shots too the other ones come easier."
Auriemma has been driving home the point to Samuelson that if she wants to play more, then she needs to be more than just a threat from the perimeter. The message was received loud and clear in a game at Cincinnati last month, where Samuelson was passed over in the rotation until late in the third quarter.
If Samuelson didn't already realize it at that time, there is a huge difference between her idea of playing hard and the parameters set forth by her Hall of Fame head coach.
"I kind of expected it to be one of the hardest things I've done, but just the consistency that I need to put myself into and my hard working, it definitely has been harder than anything I've done," Samuelson said. "I am kind of getting better at doing what they ask me to do. Especially recently with how hard I have been trying to push myself has made things easier to not only (produce) during games, but in practice."
With her shots starting to fall as well, it will make it more difficult for teams to borrow from the strategy used during the road trip when all three opponents flooded the lane with players and gave up open looks on the perimeter.
With Samuelson as well as Kia Nurse and Moriah Jefferson looking more comfortable taking shots from the perimeter, the feeling is that the Huskies will start making those open perimeter shots with more regularity.
"I think our team, we have rough patches and slow starts some times, but we've been able to make them (3-pointers) when it counts," Samuelson said. "I think teams are going to want to do that but we are going to have to keep shooting, keep making them until they stop."

Without a doubt, solar energy is a beneficial alternative for preservation of the environment. The sun is a natural and perpetual source of energy. However, you need to think over the money you have to use towards this kind of energy source. The following tips will help you on your journey to using solar energy.
Your solar energy system will keep functioning as long as you maintain it regularly. Inspect it at a minimum of once per month, and regularly clean the panels. Don't fear hiring a pro to clean and check the panels, but remember that you may save a lot of you can do it yourself.
Using solar power to heat the water you use is a terrific method of protecting the environment. There are a variety of solar powered hot water heaters for you to choose from. Install either on your roof or in a particular sunny spot.
It's important to have a storage solution for solar energy. Purchase a good battery able to store significant amounts of energy for long periods, or think about reselling excess energy to the grid.
The best solar panels are able to be re-positioned to accommodate the seasonal shifting of the sun. But if you have to have a fixed panel, choose the best compromise between positions that you can.
Examine your average energy use. Prior to changing over to solar power, you must determine how much power you typically use. This information is crucial when choosing the size of your energy system. Ideally, you should examine your utility bills for a full year as energy use tends to vary with the seasons.
Panels need to be placed where the most sunlight is found. Be sure to do regular checks to ensure that trees are not growing up and blocking essential sunlight from reaching the solar panels.
Solar Panels
Check the weather before buying solar panels. Quality solar panels will produce enough energy for your home if you can count on at least five hours of unobstructed sunlight a day. Look elsewhere if inclement weather conditions dominate your area.
If you are wondering if solar energy is the right choice for you, why not try leasing a system first. Leasing means paying a much smaller initial cost, which should allow you to start saving within a few months.
You should check the background of the company you're buying your panels from. You should aim to work with companies who will likely be in existence for many more years. You want this for the sake of warranty coverage so that you know you can get replacement panels if needed.
Try to discover the best ways to utilize solar energy within your house. For instance, remember that the majority of solar systems are only able to partially operate a heating system. That said, they can provide enough energy to power your water heater. Recognizing the distinctions is a good way to make smart decisions.
To save money, think about grid tied panel systems. If your panels are connected, you might be able to sell extra power to the local utility. In this way, you can offset your own start-up costs and the system will soon pay for itself.
It doesn't matter how much sun your property receives every day if shade covers your roof for most of the day. Never trust a solar firm that says you can generate lots of power even if your panels are placed in a shady spot. This is false.
There are other factors beyond the average sunlight in your area you need to consider. The ratings on the panels are only in ideal situations. Your actual output could be reduced by cloudy or overcast conditions and shade from trees or other environment factors.
A garden hose is often sufficient to keep your solar panels clean. A once-weekly spray from your garden hose should eliminate the need to climb on your roof and perform manual cleaning. An added benefit is knowing you will not scratch your panels this way.
Solar Energy
As you can see by now, solar energy offers a renewable energy solution. However, many variables should be taken into account when considering solar energy. This article can help educate you to make the right decision. With any luck, you'll be powering your home with solar energy.

Wow, what an amazing week. I got to meet some of Singapore's top bloggers, technologists, and even had a meeting with some of Singapore's government who's responsible for the growth of new business and media, more news on that to come. It was really an amazing time, and I'm glad to be back.
I'm back just in time too, as I have a phone interview with the Financial Times this Sunday afternoon for an article that they're writing on live streaming, an area I'm focused on.
One thing for sure, the area here in the bay area is perfect, compared the humid sweltering of south east Asia. What's most intersting is to see that LinkedIn has decided to open up a platform, I just wrote a piece yesterday saying why this is important, and last week too. I guess we were all on the same path.
Update: Plaxo is releasing their platform too, Scoble has a very high quality video demo and interview.

Who am I? I'm Laura Kate, I'm an ambitious all or nothing, creative and slightly crazy 25 year old. I'm very direct and honest (sometimes this gets me into trouble); I'm a free spirit who can be very private and perhaps guarded at the best and worst of times. Writing this down was a real cathartic experience for me to be able to finally articulate my feelings, when at the time your head feels like a cloud of confusion and frustration that can't process or accept what is happening and simply isn't clear. This blog also allows me explain to those who maybe didn't understand what was going on with me at the time. So as well as writing this for personal reasons I also want to share this with a hope that if anything it makes you believe in yourself and can leave you feeling a bit inspired- inspiration and creativity makes the world go round, I think anyway!
For years I have suffered with my stomach, a form of IBS, bad digestion and intolerances to certain foods which have caused bloating and leaving me feeling uncomfortable after eating since my early teens. I remember staying at friends houses where I would be laying awake all night with horrific cramps, to times at school and at work situations whereby the afternoon I would be waiting for the end of the day to get home as I was feeling so sluggish and uncomfortable. I had just dealt in silence and got on with it but in the last few years I'd had enough and as healthy eating become more widely discussed and popular I started to cut out food groups and try micromanaging my diet. So combine managing this with my personality of being a control freak, mixing it up with stress, well you do the maths and I am sure you can guess what happened next. It led me to a burn out and a challenging battle. It came to a head and took its toll in 2015 and after feeling like I lost control over my career and generally pretty lost in life, I burnt out both physically and mentally. I know now that it has always been a part of me and stress was its trigger. My personal battle is about control; control over what would go in my mouth, how much I would allow myself to eat and how 'healthy' it is.
2015 was the toughest challenge I've faced in my life so far. Aside from being underweight I felt constantly cold with low energy, heavy and sore eyes (zombie eyes I call them), constant outbreaks on skin, my hair has been limp and weak, insomnia, a weakened bladder and problems with my menstrual cycle and bones to name but a few physical affects. For me the worst part of this was the loneliness, shame and isolation it brings to you mentally. It completely shakes your world and changes a lot of what you face on a day-to-day basis. You begin to preempt and plan every single thing you do. What is on the menu that I can eat without feeling guilty, how can I get out of this dinner, to making mental notes in your head of what exactly you are allowed to eat and at what times throughout that day. It's an obsession that causes social anxiety, devours your energy and you as a person. You lose yourself and ultimately you become the illness. I could go into more detail on the effects but I don't see the point, if you have battled this or are currently battling it you don't need to be reminded and I also realise if you don't suffer with it then it can never be fully understood. It's awful for the person suffering but also for the family involved, the frustration it causes for them is really trying and the illness ultimately affects everyone. For me my mum was my healer and angel, I will never be able to thank her enough. Without my family's stability and love I could very well of ended up seriously ill. I may be biased but they are the best so this is also a thank you to them!
Flipping this story on its side and kicking its ass on my road to recovery I developed an even bigger passion for the health food and wellbeing industry, which led me to this, the start of my business Blondilox. Ask anyone who knows me, I love my breakfast and I love my oats. Porridge and oat bars are my favourite, they always have been and oats are a ridiculously good superfood. So I decided I wanted them to rebuild me and restore my relationship with food. I was also inspired from a trip to Copenhagen after visiting a porridge cafe and also discovering one in London when I was living there. Knowing I was to be moving back home to Scotland after years of being a gypsy searching for my 'thing' I had an epiphany and knew this was to be my first business. Porridge but stirring up the game, with no rules but always making it healthy, clean and creative with different bases, toppings and in alternative ways. I am building Blondilox via Instagram, I want everyone eating Blondilox and I would love to have a home in Edinburgh (to start with) where you can grab a stool and have a bowl- so I guess basically world domination is my goal for Blondilox. Blondilox is now my business and also my personal health journey so I can't wait to see where it will take me!
I know that there are millions of people suffering with their own battles, it knows no gender, no age and has no limits- that is the dangerous part. There is no label you can give someone because everyone is dealing with something that is their own and not the same as the next person, there is no right or wrong when it comes to recovery and there are no rules (I don't like rules if you haven't guessed already)! If you are currently going through this or have someone close to you going through it then I can tell you one thing- you will find who you are, it is not permanent and this will pass, I promise. I'm not saying I've overcome my demons by no means, it does not just go away, all I'm saying is that I have faced it and I am battling it uphill everyday and I'm determined to manage it in a healthy way, because frankly I want to be well, healthy and look great. My philosophy is that you can always turn struggle and pain into potential and opportunity, that is if you believe that you are capable of something fabulous, which I do and so should you! I hope to help others as I grow, this is very important for me and what Blondilox stands for.
The battle gave me the idea I feel I have been searching for all my life. And that's what the core of Blondilox stands for, hustle (My favourite word). A hustle to overcome and create, whatever that may be and in my case that's porridge!
If you do want to get in touch I would love to hear from you so drop me message to firstname.lastname@example.com and please follow my journey across socials @iamblondilox

Hey all, I have a confession to make: I am not smooth. No kidding, you say? Hey, that's not nice. I try. I do. Even still, it has come to my attention that I neglected to announce the winner from my "best first lines" giveaway. I read all the entries, thought, "wow - these are really great," picked the winner and then promptly forgot to post again.
To complicate matters, it seems that our winner is not telepathic. So I shall announce it once and for all - Michele L, you've got it. Just email me at angie @angie fox.com, pass along your snail mail and let me know which of the accidental demon slayer books you'd like.
Speaking of fun things, this weekend was Archon, one of the best Sci Fi and Fantasy conventions I've ever attended. It's big, but not too big, so that you get a chance to mingle with a lot of people...and get into a bit of trouble too.
This year, the trouble started in the dealer room. They had a corset vendor who was out of this world helpful. Now I've been flirting with the idea of getting a corset for the past several years, but have never pulled the trigger. It's so hard to know what will fit and how to order one and every time I tried to research these things, I got intimidated.
Enter Draconian Creations. They caught my friend Shawntelle and I oogling their wares and the rest was history. We were able to try on the pretty things. They told us how to get the right fit (which involved a bit of sucking in breath and contorting, but thankfully, no grabbing onto bed posts). Most importantly, the pretties didn't cost an arm and a leg. After much modeling and mutual encouragement, Shawntelle and I both bought our first corsets. Mine will look like the one in the pictures. Hers will be purple with black stripes.
We're so excited, we're thinking we have to wear them as soon as they arrive. This may involve a corseted trip to Target, Hobby Lobby or some other exotic location, considering those are the places Shawntelle and I tend to visit the most. Then again, that's another blog post.

Love the corsets! On an annual shopping trip with friends, we ventured into a trashy store with a lovely display of corsets. My friends convinced me to buy a pink and black number complete with stockings, garters and CFM pumps. Needless to say it was a big hit with my darling hubby. Plus it makes me look really hot (not really the norm)!

Love yours though!

I've always wanted a corset, but like you find the procedure and cost intimidating.
You look AWESOME though!! If I could look as great as you do in one, I'd plunk down the credit card right now!

Our personalities drive many aspects of our behaviour; the way we do our work; how we react to stress; how we respond to other people; our choice of work; who we get on with naturally.
Gaining an understanding of our personalities can help us to explain dynamics of our work. It can explain why we have challenges in working with some people.
ITD Personality test
The ITD Personality test is easy to understand and simply to apply.
Like any personality test it is based on the work of Carl Jung and uses personality factors. These factors describe a part of your personality. You might have more or less of one factor. All the factors combined go to describe your personality.
The ITD personality test is focussed on your personality at work. What you are like at work doing work. It is not trying to put you in a box, or describe your entire personality in all situations. It is merely trying to help you understand your personality at work and how this impacts on the way you do your work. And it is trying to help you understand your work relationships with colleagues and clients.
Impact of your personality
Your personality can have an impact on a range of areas of your work:
- Time management
- Communication
- Delegation
- Leadership
- Inter relationships
- Listening
- Presenting
- Sales
- Customer service
- Email management
- Email writing
Four personality factors
The ITD personality test has four personality factors; Social, Conceptual, Analytical and Direct. There are no right or wrong factors. No style is better than another.
The idea is to explore the model and identify the styles which best match you. Then you identify those behaviours which bets describe you. You may have behaviours from different styles. You may have different behaviours in different situations
Example: Time management
Time management is a good example because there are classic behaviours driven by our personalities. Some are good and some are less so. Here are some negatives:
Conceptuals: Can start projects but not that good at finishing them.
Socials: May say yes to too much work resulting in stress and working overtime.
Analysts: Can take too long over tasks.
Directs: Can start tasks too quickly then realsie there is a better way and have to start again.
Training on our personality model
Our personality model features in many of our training sessions. And you can have a bespoke training workshop on our personality model. Contact us for more details.

Last month, Uganda announced the plan to roll out the vaccinations for frontline health workers over fears the virus could spread.
Uganda has vaccinated thousands of health workers against Ebola to counter the spread of the deadly virus from its neighbour Democratic Republic of Congo, the health ministers of both countries said Wednesday.
A growing outbreak of Ebola in the Beni region of eastern DR Congo, just 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the Ugandan border, has claimed some 268 lives among a total of 453 cases, according to figures released Tuesday from the DRC health ministry.
Uganda, which last month announced the plan to roll out the vaccinations for frontline health workers over fears the virus could spread, said on Wednesday that it had already given the precautionary treatment to 3,000 people "because we are worried".
"We have not waited for the first case to arrive. The vaccination is continuing," said Ugandan Health Minister Jane Ruth Aceng, at a joint briefing with her Congolese counterpart Oly Ilunga in Goma.

Thousands of people cross the 15 border points between the two countries, particularly on midweek market days, she added.
Giving an update on DR Congo's own vaccine drive, Ilunga said authorities had given the treatment to some 38,000 people.
"If there were no vaccines, half of those would have developed the illness, we would be at tens of thousands of victims and of deaths," he estimated.

Eastern DR Congo is ravaged by decades of inter-ethnic bloodshed and militia violence, hampering the response to the Ebola outbreak, which is testing a large UN peacekeeping mission deployed in the country.
DR Congo last month kicked off campaigning for a crucial December 23 election to choose a successor to President Joseph Kabila, who has constitutionally remained in power as caretaker leader even though his second and final elected term ended nearly two years ago.
Ilunga said each polling station in the affected areas would have an area for disinfection and to check temperatures.
"During the entire epidemic we have not shut down social life. The markets are open, the schools are open, the churches have not closed," he said.
"We think that the organisation of the elections are not an additional risk."

WASHINGTON- February 12, 2011 - The Association of Public Television Stations (APTS) expressed deep concern today as the House Appropriations Committee formally proposed to eliminate federal funding for public broadcasting.
"Federal funding is essential to the operations of more than 1,000 local public television and radio stations in communities across the country," said APTS President and CEO Patrick Butler. "These local stations enhance the lives of their local communities through educational programming and services in K-12 schools, GED and other lifelong learning services, job training, in-depth coverage of local issues and state legislative proceedings, music and cultural programming, emergency alert and public safety services, and trusted local news and other programming that captures the rich diversity of American life. More than 170 million Americans regularly depend on these services, and they have consistently ranked public broadcasting as the second best use of federal funds, just behind national defense."
Butler concluded, "We fully understand that, particularly in a time of economic challenge, it is appropriate for Congress to carefully examine every federal expenditure to assure its continued value to the American taxpayer. Eliminating the investment in public broadcasting would have a microscopic effect on the federal budget deficit but a devastating impact on local communities nationwide."

Ah, the Bronx Zoo cobra. Just when we thought last week's most popular snake had faded from our news consciousness, to be replaced by, say, a baby giraffe, or a tsunami dog, she is back. Because we can't let these things go, no, we have to name them. The Bronx Zoo, after all, hasn't gotten this much press in years. And so, there was a naming contest initiated with the Daily News. Now the News and the Zoo have identified the 5 semi-finalists among the 33,000 entries.
They are:
Cleopatra – the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt; supposedly killed herself by means of an Egyptian cobra bite
MIA – stands for "missing in action" but will be pronounced "Me-ah"
Subira – the Egyptian word for "patience"
Amunet – A goddess in Ancient Egyptian religion; meaning "the female hidden one"
Agnes – Greek for pure or holy, also a reference to St. Agnes
So, we're naming the cobra after a woman who died by cobra bite? Meta. Or we're calling it "Me-ah," even though its name is MIA? These were the top 5 best names suggested?
Personally, we would have left it at @BronxZoosCobra — after all, that's the name, and the Twitter, that put her on the map. But we're not in the cobra-naming business.
If you feel strongly about any of these options, you should vote. You have until Wednesday at 12:01 a.m. EDT. The Bronx Zoo Cobra, for her part, seems a bit offended and is starting a #RenameTheZoo campaign on Twitter.
Name that Bronx Zoo Cobra! It's down to 5 semi-finalists – we need YOUR vote [NYDN]

The tax meter of italian families
Virtually all of our daily activities involve paying something to the government, from filling up the gas tank to medical expenditures, we are plagued by taxes, excise duties and hidden additional costs. The Dainese family has calculated them all. The result: an extra 6,000 euros
Nicola Dainese works in a bank and earns about 2,800 euros net per month. His wife gave up work to take care of their two daughters, one in elementary school and the other in junior high. At the end of 2012, the gross income of this Padua family was over 44,000 euros. But before IRPEF (personal income tax), which after deductions was 12,000 euros.
Pay and forget? If only! The battle between the taxman and taxpayers is not just a jockeying for position in an open field that is settled with the peace treaty in the form of the tax return. No. Starting the very next day, the Italian government continues fighting another hidden war filled with booby traps and unjust taxes scattered everywhere. Just open your eyes, turn over in bed and turn on the light, and you've already begun to pay.
And it continues in every little, unconscious aspect of daily life, including for your children. At the end of the day, as seen in the accompanying tables, the government dips into the pockets of its citizens and extracts much more money than it might seem.
For example, the case of the Dainese family from Padua which allowed Panorama to examine all its expenditures in detail. The alarm clock rings, on with the light on the nightstand and the first tax appears: out of the 750 euros annually for electricity, 231 go for VAT and additional local taxes. Nearly one-third. In the meantime, the building heat has already gone on: the two items together total an additional 400 euros in VAT over 12 months. Nicola, Isabella and their daughters Anna and Chiara sit down at the kitchen table for breakfast. Heating the milk on the stove burns another 125 euros in VAT and additional local taxes. The same story for the beverage dissolved in their cups, the water running from the tap and every last crumb of their breakfast.
OK, time to get moving. Everyone in the car, Nicola to get to work, while Isabella takes the girls to school. Car insurance is mandatory: out of 856 euros, 107 are for taxes. Another 450 euros in road tax (100% tax). Then there's gas, and here the government gets the lion's share: 2,200 euros in a year, of which about 1,500 is for VAT and duties. VAT, value added tax, the girls will learn about in high school. But, in the meantime, it's already with them in the classroom, on their desks and hidden in their textbooks and notebooks.
Anna and Chiara do not have mobile phones, a decision of their parents for educational, not economic, reasons. But the family also does its duty in this area: 110 euros in VAT and government license out of a total telephone bill of 280 euros. The same taxes paid for an Internet account in order to search the web or send an e-mail to friends from the computer at home. Where a hacking cough strikes terror because every time a doctor's bill is paid or even an aspirin is swallowed, not only the active ingredients, but also others, are covered by VAT and local taxes.
In all, between IMU (property tax), road and other taxes, for the Dainese family in Padua, it all totals 18,000 euros per year. Fifty percent more than for income tax. A millstone that transforms what should be an economically and socially upper-middle class family into one that gets by, cutting all the small, unnecessary expenditures in order to make it to the end of the month. The picture offered by the most recent official ISTAT statistics confirms the results of our "case history": the buying power of families dropped by 4.8 percent over 2012.
Nicola Dainese is 44. He started working at the bank in 1989 at a salary of 1,700,000 lire. At the time, a lot. Combined with what his wife earned as a computer programmer, they had a high standard of living. Nicola bought a flashy Audi, his wife a car to get around in and together they took out a mortgage and bought a house. Their expectations for the future were excellent. In the summer, they took a three-week vacation at the sea and in the winter another 10 days in snowy Alto Adige. Then Chiara arrived on May 4, 2000, early for the 1,000 euro bonus for the first child planned that year for October. Anna was also born in natural childbirth on May 4, but in 2003. Mother Isabella switched to part-time, then decided to leave work altogether to take care of the girls.
With time, in the parking space in front of the house, the Audi has been replaced by a used Passat station wagon. Winter vacations are a thing of the past and in the summer, just two weeks and no longer in a hotel, but in a campground cabin. They cut costs wherever possible, including off-peak electricity use and special offers every Thursday at the local supermarket. Plus a small ethical purchasing group to stock up on oil and Sicilian oranges once a year. Chiara used to study ballet, where the recital alone cost 200 euros. Reluctantly, her parents helped her discover her innate talent for the less-expensive rhythmic gymnastics.
Also because, in the meantime, all those non-permanent items, such as the productivity bonus, which in the past made a difference, have disappeared from Nicola's paycheck. Because in war, for the weaker side, it's either retreat or die.

Eight U.S. Skiers into Moguls Finals in NOR
March 2, 2007
VOSS, NORWAY - (USST News Bureau Release) - Dave Babic (Washington, VT) finished fourth and Jillian Vogtli (Ellicotville, NY) fifth Friday in the first of two World Cup moguls events shifted from the Czech Republic because of poor snow. Olympic champions Jennifer Heil of Canada and Australia Dale Begg-Smith won their contests as three American men and five U.S. women reached finals.
Begg-Smith, the Olympic and defending World Cup champion who also clinched this year's title, won his third straight contest with 25.69 points to 24.95 for Japan's Nobuyuki Nishi; Babic had 24.77. Sho Kashima (Zephyr Cove, NV) was 10th with Nate Roberts (Park City, UT) 13th.
Heilm also the Olympic gold medalist, defending World cup champ and newly (re-crowned moguls champion, took her fifth consecutive victory with 25.52, more than a point ahead of Austria Margarita Marbler (24.23).
Vogtli was fifth at 22.17 with Shelly robertson (Reno, NV) eighth, Shannon Bahrke (Tahoe City, CA) - second in the moguls points behind Heil - ninth, McKenzy Golding (also Reno) 10th and Heather McPhie (Bozeman, MT) 12th.
"This is a makeup event, from Tignes (France) in December," Head Coach Jeff Wintersteen said, "To fit it in, the organizers had to drop a day of training on this course, which is pretty tough because it's so steep at the top, especially coming out of that top air (jump). Babic skied well and I thought he should have been on the podium, but...that's not my call.
"A lot of athletes, not just ours, had trouble adjusting to that steepness at the top of the course; it just threw a lot of them. So, we'll take this as a training day and look to do much better tomorrow."
The Voss visit concludes Saturday with another moguls event, the last competition before the 2007 FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships next week in Madonna di Campiglio, Italy.

Kristin Schroder, 26 – Suicide Overboard, Carnival Spirit Passenger, May 8, 2013, Time of Death 9:00.
Paul-Rossington 30 – Overboard Attempted Rescue, Carnival Spirit Passenger, May 8, 2013, Time of Death 9:00.
Kristen Schroder – Paul Rossington, Two Australia Cruise Ship Passengers Overboard Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Spirit – May 8, 2013.
Kristen Schroder, 26, from Australia, apparently fell overboard from Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Spirit after at least a couple arguments with her fiancé Paul Rossington, 30, on the last night of the cruise. Schroder was in her cabin bedroom when she went out onto the fifth floor balcony and went over the railing.
Carnival Spirit CCTV show's Paul Rossington sitting in the cruise ship casino playing a slot machine and Kristen Schroder sitting on the bar stool next to him. The couple appear to have a verbal argument. After the apparent argument, the couple share a kiss and Kristen Schroder walks away.
Two hours later the couple were dining in a restaurant aboard the cruise ship when couple were seen arguing over dinner and Mr Rossington allegedly accuses Kristen Schroder of flirting with another man. Rossington leaves the table and goes back to their cabin.
Around 2100 hours, CCTV footage shows Kristen Schroder, climbing over the balcony of their cabin, hanging onto the railing for a few seconds before plunging into the sea. Schroders fiancé Paul Rossington, who was a Paramedic, jumped overboard naked in an attempt to save her. Neither were ever seen again.
At a 2015 coroner's inquest requesting a ruling of "accidental death" for the couple's presumed deaths, Detective Sergeant Michael O'Keefe told the inquest that Rossington showed anact of conspicuous courage when he dove into the sea after Schroder, saying Rossington should be awarded the Cross of Valour.
The inquest also heard the couple had been together for ten months and the cruise was a "make-or-break" for their volatile but not violent relationship.

Withycombe coach to stand down owing to ill health
PUBLISHED: 09:33 13 February 2014 | UPDATED: 09:33 13 February 2014
WITHYCOMBE coach Mark Tomlinson is standing down at the end of the month due to ill health, writes Conrad Sutcliffe.
=Player-coach Glenn Channing will take over from Tomlinson when he calls it a day. He came in at the start of the season with Tomlinson as part of a new regime at Raleigh Park.
Tomlinson said he has scaled down his commitment to Withycombe over the past few months and would bow out completely at the end of February.
'I suffer from multiple sclerosis, although thanks to the medication I take you wouldn't notice unless you knew,' said Tomlinson.
'The big thing with MS is that it leaves you feeling very fatigued, which is why I have had to cut back on my coaching.
'Coaching twice a week and going to matches on Saturdays has proved to be more onerous than I imagined.
;What I have found is I can't give the commitment to coaching I would want and carry on working full-time in teaching.
'I began to cut down on going to matches a while ago. By the end of February I will step back completely and Glenn will take over.'
Tomlinson, who was a player with Crediton before joining the Metropolitan Police, has had a varied career in Devon since switching to coaching.
Along the way he has coached at Okehampton, Tavistock, Barnstaple, Wessex, Crediton, Exmouth and Sidmouth, where he started the club's upward path from the Cornwall & Devon Division to where they have been in South West One for several seasons.
Tomlinson has also coached youth rugby at Torrington and the ladies game at University of Exeter and England Students level.
Tomlinson told Withycombe all about his condition when he was interviewed for the post, saying they had been 'fantastic' to work with from start to finish.
He added: 'If you have to finish anywhere I can't think of a better place than Withycombe, where I have really enjoyed my time.
'I won't be a head coach anywhere else in future, but hope to do the odd session here and there as a guest.'
Nigel Symons, the director of rugby at Withycombe, said he was sorry to see Tomlinson go.
"I have never met any coach as keen or enthusiastic as he has been and that has been great for the club," said Symons.
"Mark is a bit old school when it comes to coaching, but as Glenn is more modern in some of his approaches that has worked well for us to have two different approaches.
"Mark will always be a welcome guest at Raleigh Park in future. We wish him all the best."
