Clinical Audit: An Audit on the Professional Intervention of Smoking
Feedback: 0 comments, 0 ratings
Abstract: Smoking accompanies recognized health risks. It is the dental practitioner's duty to provide professional intervention as recommended by Public Health England. This article describes an audit that aimed to measure the professional intervention provided by dentists, compare this to standards and to improve the amount of intervention. It describes each step of the audit cycle in detail. It is an easily reproducible audit that practitioners can use.
Clinical relevance: This article will describe how an audit to improve the amount of professional intervention given for smoking was designed and implemented and aims to encourage others to do so similarly.
Author notes: Jatinder Moore, BDS(Hons), MJDF, Dental Core Trainee in Restorative Dentistry, Birmingham Dental Hospital, Birmingham, UK.
Objective: To understand how an audit on smoking intervention can be carried out and how to improve the professional intervention delivered to patients.

Oh, wrap-around jacket 126 from Burda Magazine 9/2009. You're like the homely friend in an 80s teen movie who helps the audience learn heartfelt life lessons. Only there's no makeover montage and boyfriend in it for you. Sigh.
I did learn three important lessons from this homely wrap jacket.
1. A piece of clothing isn't going to change who you are. I love clothes, but I hate fussing with them. My favorite pieces to wear are straightforward and allow freedom of movement without getting in the way. A wrap-around jacket was a terrible choice. I felt uncomfortable every time I wore it. Open, it swished around and got caught under my chair. Wrapped closed, it made me feel like a trussed-up turkey.
Here's a sample of the many horrible looks I tried. (Notice how some look okay from one angle then, AAAGH! freak show.)
3. Mending has its payoffs. I love making new things. That's why sewing is such a thrill. But sometimes mending, which can be equal parts boring and frustrating, is a much better use of time. See that dress under the jacket? It's the bomb! But I haven't worn it in a year because the front interfacing that helps the dress hold its shape is ripped. Though it will probably only take an hour (if that) to fix, I have not yet repaired it. (But I have patched a few holes in the jacket with Mighty Mendit. Which makes zero sense.)
So thanks, wrap-around jacket, for helping me grow as a person. Sorry this story ends with me cutting you into pieces. After I repair the black dress, I might need bits of you for a new project.

Posted 11.2.2012
The Executive MBA at Weatherhead attracts professionals with plenty of experience and drive; intensive and residency-based, the program also tends to turn classmates into friends. Upon graduation, the tight-knit class of 2006 wanted to remain connected, continue learning together and find a way to help current students. Then-program director Jenny Lahman proposed a leadership award to be presented to a graduating student. The idea stuck, and the class decided to establish the EMBA Leadership Award, commemorated by a plaque and a $500 sum to be donated to the charity of the recipient's choice.
"Jenny Lahman's idea was the driving force," says Amy Richardson, EMBA '06 (seen in picture), one of four students who were instrumental in establishing the award. Richardson, along with 2006 EMBA classmates J.R. Bockoven, Mike Portale and Mike Mohlenkamp, determined the criteria that would be used to choose a recipient: The recipient must demonstrate outstanding personal leadership and exemplary personal generosity, and provide concrete service to his or her class and the EMBA program.
The class of 2006 did not want to wait until the endowment for the award was fully funded to begin the annual tradition. They chose Dan Quigg, EMBA '07, as the first recipient, in recognition of his inspirational leadership. Ali Ahmed, EMBA '08, a champion of sustainability, received the award the following year. Ahmed went on to help raise funds for the endowment and is the continuing energy behind the award selection process. Raymond Lewis, EMBA '09, was the third recipient.
But three years after the award's conception, fundraising efforts were at a standstill. Richardson reveals that it was again Ahmed who moved the project forward.
"Ali jump-started the giving with a contribution and a matching gift from his employer," she remembers. The endowment began to grow again. Finally, with $1,100 to go to reach their goal of $20,000, the class of 2006 reached out to other EMBA classes and received two pledges within 24 hours. Coincidentally, the donation that put the endowment over the top was from Patricia Persico, EMBA '10, the 2010 recipient of the award. Honored the next year was Seth Glauberman, EMBA '11, followed by Kenneth Edelman, EMBA '12.
The EMBA Leadership Award is now fully supported by a $20,000 endowment. The income from the endowment will support the award and its $500 charitable component. As the fund grows, the balance will be used to support the EMBA program.
Richardson notes, "Our ultimate goal in establishing the EMBA Leadership Award was to support Weatherhead, EMBA students and the program."
Award recipients have chosen to support organizations including a nonprofit micro-lender, the Red Cross, the Cuyahoga Nature Conservancy, and Weatherhead's own Fowler Center for Sustainable Value. One recipient purchased carbon offset credits and matched the contribution with his own funds.
"These gifts have been generous and impactful," says Richardson; they serve as a lasting tribute to the vision of the EMBA class of 2006 and to their commitment to supporting their communities as well as their alma mater.

Researching Romney has been an interesting experience, and my own opinion is being swayed. The more I cross-reference, the more I like. The truth comes out if you look for it.

We both have one post each left.
It's been fun debating someone so closely aligned to my own belief system, and having to take the opposite side of the discussion. Being challenged to present a contrary position to your own mindset is what the debate forum allows you to explore.

What is that you're drinking? Is there at least some form of alcohol in there among the ice chips and fizzy water? Oh, OK. I get it. You just came back from the bathroom with friends. I guess that explains it. Well, what are you working on? Oh, an article about "open source." That sounds painful. Get those checked out, man. Do some damage to your whole nervous system if they don't heal up right. I mean bands, though — hey, what are you doing? "Texting"? What the hell is that?! I'm trying to talk to you while you write to someone else? What the HELL!
Once upon a time, rock music was made by people who led absolutely weird, privileged, paranoid lives rarely running into fans. These rock stars would check with journalists writing about them for a reality check, and that writing was done by guys and gals who didn't spend much time in cubicles, wrote their reports and criticisms out in shaky longhand coming out of some chemically induced fit or on the way into the DTs, and only used telephones late at night after the clubs closed to call ex-lovers to ask if they could come crash on their couches. (They were sometimes allowed to, depending on how amorous they still were towards the person living there, either way.)
This episode of SSO is in debt to the energy of the dinosaur-tenders, also known as the foot scribe, the venue vulture, the gal mistaken for a groupie, the guy mistaken for a roadie: the people who used to write the rock books. These are the best of those books about the big bands that have been recently published, mostly filled with reissued (but not rehashed) material drawn thick like wino blood at plasma centers of the music scene to be transfused into blogs for posterity.
The Beatles Vs. The Stones: Sound Opinions On The Great Rock 'N' Roll Rivalry by Greg Kot & Jim DeRogatis (Quayside/Voyageur Press) is going to effect your average rock and roll fan like a cheeseburger, a six pack, and a rare Seeds LP would make Johnny Ramones' afternoon. It's a world of conversational fun, beautiful album cover art, rare film flyers and PR shots produced alongside a marvelously meandering conversation between Chicago Tribune's legendary Kot and the Chicago Sun-Times' adored DeRogatis, both authors of really good books, and hosts of the syndicated radio talk show Sound Opinions. Of which The Beatles Vs. The Stones feels like a huge transcription of a history-making night, with a topic you don't want civilians getting in too deep with, but will spend hours ruminating on the "white album" vs. Exile On Main Street from (double LP throw down!). Seven other topics regarding this seminal battle are brought up, between all the glossy visuals, setting "the lads from Liverpool" against the bourgeois bad boys. (Bringing up the weirdest paradox in rock history — the pop guys were the poor bastards, and the dirty, filthy purveyors of rhythm and noise were hardly street kids.) Producers, influences, how the guitarists in both bands compare, the effects of drugs and spirituality or the lack of same, and mad (deserved) love for both Ringo Starr and Charlie Watts, two drummers with Zen attitudes and the kind of laid back skills few drummers these days seem to want to possess (to our shared generational shame, and a lot of terrible music). Key question: "Would You Let Your Sister Go With A Rolling Stone?" (My own sister bit the ear off a Spokane cop once, so my opinion may vary with the more typical readership's consensus.)
Speed-Speed-Speedfreak: A Fast History of Amphetamine by Mick Farren (Feral House): If you think your year end top ten lists don't stink because you own the SECOND Lester Bangs anthology and have even read more Marcus than Lipstick Traces, you need to get on some Mick Farren. Farren's PR bio is hilariously (and for this book, appropriately) brief: "Former lead singer of The Deviants and the author of more than forty books." British-bard Farren was anthologized in the recent BOMP! collections (one of the best rock fanzines of all time, published by Greg Shaw), has edited science fiction fanzines, wrote a long running UK column for Trouser Press magazine, and I really like his biographies a ton (especially the Gene Vincent one). This book is about the perky little pills and powders that went into "Elvis Presley, the Hell's Angels, Hunter S. Thompson, Truman Capote, The Beatles, Juday Garland, Hank Williams, Jack Kerouac, Johnny Cash, JFK, the Manson Family, and Adolf Hitler," and Farren's POV is both subterranean hipster-hipping you to it, both assessing its damage but also hardly advocating the drug war against it. Farren is a hipster in the absolute best sense of the term — his conspiracy theories and demystification about MDMA and the horrible myths surrounding speed use make for a bracing rock and roll read. By a real rockandroller. And in a dandy package shaped just like a Black Beauty, I believe. Albert Brooks is probably right that you can't make a meth head laugh, but this is the best present they'll ever get from you, except for something else I don't have to bother to mention.
Smartass: The Music Journalism of Joel Selvin (Snow Lion Graphics) is "the veteran San Francisco music critic in his own words." Selvin is a worker, scribing out interviews with Merle Haggard, Tom Waits, the Grateful Dead, the Beach Boys, going around Sly Stone to get a great story, singing the praises and peeling back the layers of Rolling Stone's mentor Ralph Gleason. Greil Marcus in his touching introduction admits he cannot believe the amount of sack Selvin had in thinking James Brown should be lucky enough to be interviewed by him; but that's how you do these things, when you're a real fan and a real pro. (I listened in to writers who interviewed Betty Davis over the phone when I was doing her PR to know how many bloody hacks there are out there; he has a point that good interviewing is something to feel lucky enough about, too.) More importantly, when they were in the Rock Bottom Remainders together, Marcus saw how much Selvin loved to sing, and it's that in-it love for the music that comes through in many articles about bands I don't really care that much about (but this is where I'd want to read about them). As Selvin instructs through his life-work, this is where you find your voice, getting on board with the San Francisco Chronicle for experience, later getting your work squeezed between porno advertisements and often chopped out for space considerations. You don't have a big wide Internet out there with no one reading it, so what you have to say has to get the specific attention of the most people right away, and you would often get real, physical responses later. Selvin is a pop music man, and every city had at least one, and this book is a wonderful document of a guy throwing himself into a story. There are short, perfect reviews of essential albums (13th Floor Elevators, Sir Douglas Quintet, Janis Joplin) from the time they appeared and changed the molecular structure of rock music. And there's a shit-ton of great stories here from . A perfect present for parents who still hit the record stores, and current up and coming music writers who need to learn the angles and tenacity of a city music reporter. Recommended.
U2 FAQ by John D. Luerssen (Backbeat Books) is noteworthy not so much as a sweeping assessment of the band's history (especially the documentation of their recorded work), but in that it reveals all the strange little details of their passions and problems. Rigorous in background data like the Rough Guides but more chronological in flow, the FAQ series stacks a lot of things you need to know about a band with a lot of juicy bits you'd spend years tracking down from glossies, fanzines, journals, blogs, and other biographies. Starting with the band's passion for Joy Division, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. are documented through rare stories from themselves, producers Steve Lillywhite and Brian Eno, manager Paul McGuinness ("who thought the song 'Stories For Boys' was about masturbation"), with scraps of their career from collectors liberally sprinkled throughout. U2 started off as a mystery band to us American post-punks; the 'boy' imagery, the positive spiritual vibe matched with a dark, droning dub-rock feel, all of it was conflicting and it turns out, has always been for the band as well. (For example: Why was "Where The Streets Have No Name" such a hard song to record, while "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" such a spontaneous burst of creation? They seem so similar at the start of The Joshua Tree, and yet were crafted so drastically differently.) When I saw them on the Boy tour, and the American audiences loved them so much they often played the debut LP in its entirety twice through in one concert, we all kind of knew their place in pop music history would mushroom insanely. Author Luerssen is a "regular AOL Music/Spinner contributor" who has written for All Music Guide, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and scribed 2004's River's Edge: The Weezer Story. Bill Flanagan's inside rants with the band will probably always be my favorite U2 writing, but FAQ doesn't flinch on the nervous details and dark times the band members have gone through, and thus transcends more general music books of this type. A tight, affordable, well researched guide to U2.
AC/DC: High-Voltage Rock 'N' Roll: The Ultimate Illustrated History by Phil Sutcliffe (Quayside/Voyageur Press) is as capable and capacious, large and luxurious a top-of-the-stereo-lid book as The Beatles Vs. The Stones is, but this time out it's for Aussie primal punk/hard rock heroes AC/DC. Like the Kot/DeRogatis volume, though, it's written with class, too, by London-based MOJO's own Phil Sutcliffe (whose dependable and always a sign of quality by-line has graced everywhere else from the Los Angeles Times to Blender as well). His history is less conversational but he pulls in lots of really good fellow scribes — among them: Joe Bonomo (who wrote the superb Highway To Hell in the 33 1/3 series), fellow Brit big mag interviewers Ian Christe, Sylvie Simmons, and Andrew Earles — to extensively side-bar and extrapolate on the band's insouciant significance since their MC5-fueled origin in 1973. Note: THE PHOTOS AND ARTWORK ARE INSANE. A paroxysm of sweaty head-banging and a flurry of skinny boy legs scampering under a classic guitar on every page. Snarling yob-vox Brian Johnson swallowing a mic to find the bourbon bottle he actually accidentally swallowed down in the pit of his angry belly. Et al. This is not a little fact-finding book, but a hard and heavy hit on every album the Down Under grind-pop band's ever put out, splashed with adoration over full color pages and costing three American tenners and a five. But if a hard rock or metal guy or gal is going to love this band, they're going to crave one book that has all the chain-smoking and hamburger-hurling-in-the-tour-van war stories, every LP sequence analyzed, the controversial personnel changes chatted out, and the tale of the two brothers Angus and Malcolm Young told right. There have been many audio-based AC/DC tie-ins for this long-running rock machine, but this is the best literature and art book built around their badness so far. Highly recommended.
Touch & Go: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine '79-83 by Tesco Vee and Dave Simpson, Edited by Steve Miller (Bazillion Points): "My God does this town stink!" one editorial begins. And thus rock write was reborn near Detroit. This is my final book review of the year, about a tome I probably cherished most. The writing isn't great, and the fanzine artwork and ripped off photos are cool, but not rare or essential. Tesco Vee's a mean-spirited little trickster and Touch & Go was a brilliant label born out of a bratty fanzine. It was 1979, and they were just as likely to dig Brit punk-funk as Bush Tetras from NYC. Pages are wasted here on covers with nothing but a big circle "A" on them. The reprinting runs off the pages, and most of the bands covered are not reported on effectively, and you probably haven't heard of them (VKTMS, Honey Bane, The Bongos). BUT YOU NEED THIS. Every scene-inspiring publication needs a tribute like this, and most of the issues are here, and you can spend days wallowing in the basement noise and nerd rage and virgin rot and shit talking that spews out of these Xerox-reproduced pages of Being There. Probably my Book Of The Year, even if I didn't appreciate it showing up at my parents at 4 AM to wake me up for spare change before we went up to the Ave to panhandle for cheap beer money at Pizza Pete's and then end up at its ex-girlfriends' gated apartment building screaming up at her window all afternoon even though we knew she was at work and then hitchhiking to a bitter-cold Veteran's Hall show in the next town where a bunch of frat guys let us somehow spend the night and not killing us later after seeing four fucking radical bands we'll never hear again even though we bought that seven inch from one and got the cassette from the other which were probably swept into the police station trash after the cops drove us to juvie. In the words of the Replacements, "Halle-fucking-lujah!" Or as they say in Detroit, "Shut the fuck up!"

Questions for cooks: Grilling for apartment dwellers
Reader L submitted the following to Questions for cooks:
With summer approaching, more and more recipes are for grilled foods. These sound delicious, but I live in an apartment and the logistics of grilling are challenging, to say the least. There is a concrete pad about 20 yards away from my back door and that is where I set up my small charcoal grill (I tried a gas grill but was constantly afraid I'd blow myself up!). So, all the ingredients, utensils, etc. have to be carried there and then I have to keep watch to ensure that no small children or pets get into the danger zone around the grill. My question is, first, do you have any tips for simplifying the task given the restrictions that I have? Second, is a grill pan or a broiler in the oven equally usable for a grilled recipe? If not, can some recipes be adapted to use this equipment, and how would I know which recipes they are? Do grill pans always smoke? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!
I'm likely about to upset some folks, but I don't believe cooking food on gas grills is grilling. In my opinion, it's simply broiling food outdoors. There isn't anything you can do with a gas grill outdoors that you can't do with your broiler on your oven. I believe the purpose of grilling foods is to cook them outdoors, over an open flame, and infuse the foods with flavors from burning wood (which you can get from logs on a campfire or hardwood charcoal in a grill). So, I think the little grill you have on your patio is perfect for grilling.
Although I don't face the same space restraints you do, I typically grill on a small Smokey Joe during the week if I'm just making dinner for my family. What is nice about these small grills is you don't have to use much charcoal, they heat up quickly, they're small enough not to have inconsistent heating issues, and the charcoal goes out faster after you finish. Larger grills are perfect for entertaining, but can be a waste of time and resources for your regular, daily grilling needs.
I have a metal box with a flap I use to store and transport all of my grilling supplies. It includes a bag of hardwood charcoal (I love the Trader Joe's brand), a chimney starter, long matches, ash pans (I usually just get disposable, aluminum turkey roasters for cheap from the grocery store), grilling tongs and spatula, an oven mitt, a water spray bottle, meat thermometers, and a tool for scrubbing/brushing off the grill grate. It's not the most portable solution, I'm certain, but it is nice to have a single place where all of these supplies safely live when not in use. (And, obviously, don't ever put ashes into the storage box. When cool enough after grilling, I collect all of the ashes into the disposable roasting pan, completely submerge the ashes in water, let the wet ashes in the ash pan sit on my patio for a day or two, and then dispose of the entire soggy mess.) I think a portable grill kit like this could work well for you, so you're at least reducing the number of trips indoors and out when grilling.
If the weather is nasty or if you just don't feel like firing up the grill one night, you can always achieve a similar effect with your stove or oven. A grilling pan works reasonably well (technically you'll be frying your food), and you can get ones that cover one or two burners on your stove top. If you buy cast iron, you can also use these pans on your outdoor grill, in your oven, and directly on a campfire. A broiling pan (one likely came with your oven) is great to use for grilling (technically broiling) foods in the oven. Simply adjust the top rack in your oven to be the same distance away from the flames that you would choose for your grill rack to be away from the charcoal (I prefer the second or third height from the top — the top height is too close to the flames in my oven). When broiling, be careful to monitor the meat and keep a box of baking soda nearby in case you have any grease flare ups. Small fires are rare, but you want to be prepared in case they happen.

I've had a gas grill for 30 years now: the same gas grill body and the same lava rocks. Every year I break it down and replace any worn out parts. In this process, I learned its secrets.
When I first had the grill, I thought as you did, that it didn't impart the same flavor as charcoal grilling, but I was worried about the chemicals put into charcoal that make it easier to light – which were impossible to avoid back then – so I put up with it.
After a couple of years, the lava rocks became seasoned – saturated with drippings from previous cooking that release smoky flavors. If you cook only lean meats on the grill, as I did, this seasoning process is slow. But, as I learned a decade ago when I needed to add some new rocks because the oldest ones were getting pretty small, a few rounds of greasy hamburgers or something with a thick fatback (careful, I had one of these burn up spectacularly!) will get the rocks seasoned quickly, and then you can enjoy charcoal grilled flavor.
This works only with natural lava rocks. None of the people I know with the ceramic stones have achieved this effect, but I'm guessing they could if they put a layer of lava rock over top of the ceramic.


text: Does this feature work as intended? We have two desktop PCs and one laptop at home, all running Win10 version 1607 x64 Pro and all on the same IP subnet. All three machines are configured in Settings / Update & Security / Advanced Settings with "Updates from more than one place" set to On for PCs on the local network. However, regardless of which machine I update first and leave running, the other two machines will download their updates from Microsoft and not from the already updated PC. I can see that this is happening by viewing the statistics page on my Internet router while the 2nd and 3rd machines are downloading the updates, and the throughput on my Internet connection is running at maximum speed, with nothing but the Windows updates being downloaded. For instance, this month's KB3213986 cumulative update (almost 1Gb in size), was downloaded from the Internet three times over, rather than being downloaded once and then used as the source for the other two machines.

I just received text messages from my mom who is now at the hospital. No she is not confined (neither is she there to visit someone nor observe each hospital cart that passes in front of her, hehe). She is just there for some routine tests and random checks with our doctors. See, her birthday is coming up and she promised herself to see the doctors every year to make sure everything is okay. So far she's been to my ENT (with a funny anecdote to share, not to be shared here though LOL) and she's now waiting for her turn at her OB's clinic. Here's praying that everything is indeed okay.

Do you feel eyestrain or fatigued after only a few hours of working on the computer? Do you find that when you get up and move away from the computer for a short break you feel better, only to get sleepy again when you return back to the computer. This is common among computer users daily, especially the bifocal age computer users over 50. When your eyes get tired, so goes your body and mind. Learn how to re-energize your eyes so your body and mind stay alert.
Others may call these height-adjustable desks. Though there are still few studies showing the benefits of this office item, many health pros believed that it can partly negate the harmful effects of sitting too often.
There are various styles and types of writing desks in the market, all designed to suit the different needs that customers have. Probably one of the most classic and most popular types of writing desks are wood writing desk. This makes sense, because wooden desks tend to last longer than those made of plastic, and do not rust, unlike desks made of metal.

You don't have to take special pills to get your vitamins and minerals to be healthy just to be a vegetarian. You don't have to travel to some magical world to buy food because you can get it at the same supermarkets that everyone else goes to. You still can go for dinner with friends because most places have options {Even a café called Pig and Whistle has options and it has Pig in the name}. Family and friends are not burdened by having to make macaroni and cheese {without adding meat} so everyone can have some.
Better Health: Vegetables and grains will replace meat; those foods provide protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that meat cannot.
Economy: Meat is a costly food. While animals can convert grass to protein, most animals consumed today are fed crops which could provide more people with more food if marketed as food
Unless your truly know what you are doing and are smart about your daily diet such as iron you really could be putting yourself at short term and long term risk. According to Web md doctors say do not do it when under 18. Studies over decades have showed that without eating meat the diet can bring about eating patterns lower blood ... among farmers and plantation workers contribute to increased health risks
don't have a moral reason for wanting to avoid meat, so for me, it would not be worth the hassle. I don't want to worry about my vitamin intake or ask for special meals at holidays or out to resturants. But for some people it is ver clearly worth the hassle.
If you are not a person who likes that sort of thing then you are basically paying for a burrito you don't like or want to get a free burrito of your preffered flavor. I would rather just pay for 2 burritos that I know I am going to enjoy eating.
There are a number of reasons that individuals choose to eat a vegetarian diet. Some are social and political, others economic, and others moral or political. But whatever the reason, going vegetarian can be a real hassle, not just for you but for those around you, who must worry themselves with being able to find you something to eat. Get over yourself and have a burger.

The guide to designing a Traditional or Classic kitchen is not to think of Old World, but rather to incorporate soft muted colours, whites and creams or light green or greys to compliment classic solid timbers like Oaks and Walnut.
To enhance a Traditional kitchens charm, pillars and rounded corner post, curved doors can be introduced, and or including grooved end gables. These accessories can help personalise the kitchen.

"we will go from strength to strength
until we see you face to face"
i never really fully understood just how much i and my companions have been saved from the waters unleashed by typhoon ondoy until i saw videos and photos of how high and strong the floodwaters were in a lot of affected areas.
yesterday, information about the typhoon, road conditions, and floods got to us via text messages, calls, and the reports and updates blaring from the radio. before all those, we were just trying to gauge the extent of ondoy's "signal no.1" with our eyes -- sky condition, falling rain, tarp and living plants' reaction to the winds -- as we entered the south luzon expressway (SLEX) from alabang shortly after 1pm. everything seemed according to the usual "signal no. 1" except for the alarming, more-than-the-usual, flood-unleasher heavy downpour we witnessed in alabang.
our driver had the good sense to avoid the southwoods portion of SLEX and diverted our route to one of the exit roads. as a result, we found ourselves caught in slow-moving traffic at that exit point. despite getting us stuck in that traffic because of that turn, the driver made a good call there. with whatever little i could see through the island of trees that separated our exit road from SLEX, i saw the build-up of heavy traffic on the expressway shortly after that and it was worse than the traffic that we were stuck in. then, too, one of the managers sent an alert message about SLEX-southwoods being already flooded and that in canlubang there's already a 5-foot deep flood. we knew our driver was enlightened to choose the safer track. just how much safer? i was only able to fully understand more than 24 hours later when i saw on video how the SLEX-southwoods portion resembled a wide river with all that huge volume of murky water flowing from who-knows-where. whoa! i didn't know and i found it hard to believe that SLEX could really look like that!
despite avoiding SLEX and taking the unusual route, we were not totally spared from encountering the floodwaters unleashed by typhoon ondoy. we passed through roads that were also slightly flooded. as mentioned in my previous post, navigating the water-filled roads on a van was akin to a combined jungle log jam and rio grande rapids experience minus the amusement park brand of fun, fun, fun all the way. we were clearly aware that the sprays that we saw through the closed windows as our van wheeled through the wet roads were from treacherous floodwater. despite that, we managed to somehow enjoy and not be panicky through the "adventure".
river or road? yup, we're still on the road!
we saw, too, the swollen rivers and their raging torrents threatening in vain to breach the bridges. i felt comforted to see that the bridges we passed by were built high away enough from the river level. if those were not, i dread to think about the destructive possibilities.
if there was something beautiful i saw during the time that we were finding our way back to batangas via the town roads of laguna, it was the sight of rain kissing the rice fields. yes, you read that right: rain kissing the rice fields! it's as if a gentle wind brought rain to slowly creep over the fields and to caress the top of the rice plants -- a sea of beautiful natural greens, slightly bowing with grains, ready for harvest slowly touched by rain. it was an awesome sight! i just hope that those rice fields did not end up being ravaged by heavier rain.
we got a bit lost when we got to silangan. we made a wrong turn somewhere and got on another slightly flooded road that seemed to lead us to nowhere familiar. at that point, we had to stop and turn back so we could get back to SLEX and then to the road that we're 100% sure will lead us to batangas. we were thankful this man was out and he helped us find the right direction:
thank you, kuya!
it was around 4pm when we reached the YT (yazaki-torres) portion of the highway connecting calamba and sto. tomas, batangas. we got caught in another close-to-non-moving traffic there. it was already past 6pm when we finally saw our way out of the gridlock. whew! to keep our minds from being idle, we listened to the radio news feeds. in the background, we also had praise songs playing.
massive flooding in metro manila and surrounding provinces. too much water. too little help coming. people on their rooftops, hungry and cold, waiting for rescue. rescue couldn't be mounted to reach people needing evacuation. lack of rubber boats, a lot in the way. stranded and flooded vehicles in major thoroughfares. too much rain, lack of visibility hinder helicopters from being flown. difficult to get first-hand info and scoop -- media men couldn't get to the affected areas unless they're already there and victims of the flood themselves. 3 kids escaped flood only to be bitten by snakes which were disturbed by the floods. barrage of frantic pleas for help here and there. nighttime is falling, ondoy is still dumping rains.
it was around this time -- when we were hearing all these unhappy bits -- when we got additional report that the jollibee-sto. tomas area was flooded, too. now, that's just a block away from where our apartment is. i decided not to accept the probability of our very area, our unit, being flooded, too. true enough, when we got home at around 8pm, my housemate and i found our apartment and the immediate surrounding area just as we left it -- no floodwater. wow! thank You, Lord. and thank You for the rice fields!
27th of september 2009
update on 09.28.09: the public market of sto. tomas, which is of higher elevation and also just a block away from our apartment, was also flooded with waist-deep water last saturday (september 26, 2009). being aware of that now, i'm totally amazed that no floodwater got to us.

You think that you know everything about yourselves but it is not true. As you know only about your conscious self but you don't know about your unconscious self.
But you will face with a doubt in this case that is, what is the difference between conscious self and unconscious self.
If you want to know about your unconscious self then you have to go through the process of unfolding and opening of inner self.
Understand your unconscious mind for unfolding inner self:
You can learn about all parts as whole and can become self aware by the process of unfolding. Habits, behaviors, personality and much more comes under the aspects of self.
Achieve all these aspects for self awareness, unfolding and revealing your inner self. Until you deliver into the region of your lives, you cannot realize unconscious mind hidden in you.
Emotions for understanding unconscious mind:
Emotions will dictate your life and emotions are the part of your unconscious state. You should grasp control if you want to unfold. You should open your mind for change.
You have to start consciously and make the effort to control impulses and make informed and logical decisions about your lives, if past experiences will often cause you to change and alter your behaviors unconsciously. You will not be able to experience life to the fullest until you become self aware.
Stress is another fact which comes from your inner self. Before you are happy with other, you must be happy with yourselves.
If you want to be happy with yourselves then you must face your inner demons and walk with a positive outlook in your life. You must satisfy yourself and pleased with yourself, if you want to achieve your dreams. [Stress Management Techniques]
What can you attain by unfolding your inner self?
- You should face each day refreshed and rejuvenated when you are able to deal your life in a controlled manner.
- You can control your actions by opening your inner self.
- You can interact well with the world by unfolding and revealing the true and unique personality and behaviors.
- You can maintain and improve harmonious and peaceful relationships.
- If you unfold your inner self then you can become more popular and can attain more self confidence.
You can motivate yourself and can achieve your dream with the help of inner peace. Your positive outlook will influence all areas of your life, so you are more likely to find success. By unfolding your inner self, you can remind your past experiences and use that knowledge for future.
You can unfold your inner self by maintaining your mind peaceful. You can maintain your mind peaceful by doing some relaxation practices such as meditation, yoga, exercises and many others.

Hibs first pre-season match against Romanian side Rapid Bucharest, which was due to have taken place at the Grangemouth Stadium tonight, has been cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.
Supporters who bought tickets for the game have 14 days to claim a full refund. Full details are on the club's web-site.
A pitch inspection was carried out earlier today but conditions were found to be too poor for the match.
The Romanian side finished fourth in their domestic league last season, and are in Scotland in preparation for their Europa League campaign.
Rapid previously notched up a 5-2 win against Morton before Scotland was battered by severe weather.
Next week Hibs will play four matches on the continent, facing Belgian sides Lierse SK and OHV Leuven, before heading to Holland to play a Zeeland Select side. Hibs will then head to Germany to meet Union Berlin.
Afterwards, Hibs return home to face Championship new boys Huddersfield at Easter Road.
Pat Fenlon said: "It's a tough tour, fairly go, go, go, not start-stop. We've a good schedule in relation to training and games, we're on the move all the time and that's what I wanted, I don't want us sitting around waiting for things."

(Awww, looks like Cindy got into momma's makeup drawer!)
When it comes to finding replacements for UFC 133's increasingly cursed lineup, UFC matchmaker Joe Silva has clearly reached the "eff this noise, I'll be at the bar" stage of the process. The latest update is that Rich Franklin has been removed from the card entirely, after his original opponent Antonio Rogerio Nogueira went down with a shoulder injury this weekend. For the record, King Mo twitter-offered to step up against Ace — a compelling possibility in its own weird way — but the UFC ignored his ass. Anyway, it's a real shame. All those ice baths for nothing.
As a result, Vitor Belfort vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama is now the co-main event of "Evans vs. Ortiz II", and Brian Ebersole vs. Dennis Hallman has been promoted to the main PPV card. (Yeah, you still have to pay for this one. Sorry.)
And damn, we didn't even tell you: Vladimir Matyushenko pulled out of his prelim fight against Alexander Gustafsson last week due to injury. Stepping in to replace him will be none other than Matt Hamill, who's coming off his decision loss to Rampage Jackson in May. I know, it's impossible to keep up with all these lineup changes at this point, which is why we put the current UFC 133 fight card after the jump. Pray that things don't change much from now until August 6th.

|Tim, working at the translation of Oh Lord
About the book :
Celebrating New Year's Eve in a remote mansion in Kent, accompanied by gay friends and a timorous student, Eve was afraid of being bored. But when the householder's brother arrives unannounced… Oh, Lord! Boredom is the least of her problems!
Lawrence is posh and his sense of humour seemingly non-existent. Which is a good thing as Eve isn't stupid enough to have a crush on a man who thinks that she is the antichrist of good taste… or is she? After all he has the body of a Greek god!
Misunderstandings will show them that behind their lies, reality is very different from first appearances.
Will they agree to abandon their prejudices?

But it's just an illustration, the purpose of this post is the readers of my books. Today, I had a wonderful surprise to discover a new review on Amazon about OVER LORD (Oh Lord ! sequel, not yet in english, you can only read it in french for the moment)
|OVER LORD Laure Elisac
The 5 stars review is anonymous, alas, but I quote it with great delight :
Still as good as always. Very good I must say! Truely, excellent. Bravo. It's mature, not sickly sweet. A true delight to read. I'm impatient to read the next."
Dear "Amazon client", one could think that it's nothing, just a short sentence, few words, but for a writer, words count, and sentences, short of long are savored in the same way.
So thank you to have taken time to express your pleasure. I read all the review on Amazon, and each time - more when they are good than when they are bitter of course-, I feel so much joy. After all, it's the only chance we have to exchange our role, as you become the writer and me the reader!

Dear reader, this afternoon, when I will work on "Good Lord", the third tome of "Oh Lord", I'll think of you, because even if writing is an intimate experience, knowing that we share the pleasure, makes it even better.
Thank you again, and through you, thank you to all the readers - and please, you all, let a review on Amazon, or on this blog, or on facebook or tattooed on your lover's body, anywhere, I ADORE reading you, in case you haven't yet undertand!!!

August the 12, it was my friend Mahira Delanney 's birthday, I draw her an little card :
|Drawing Laure Elisac
I take no merit for the draw, I simply calked the shape and I had fun to add volumes with my pencil and india ink.
|Photo montage author unknonw
I wanted to allow her to blow a nice candle, despite the presence of her little daughter.
August 12, 2016
Yesterday, I made a handmade card for my mother, as she is very fond of my cards. August 15 was the celebration of Marie the saint, and my mother was not a saint (hopefully for my father), but her name is Marie, so, this is her celebration.
I start from those pictures: (sorry I don't find the credits for them)
It's been a long time that Chéri try to convert me to Photoshop, but for now, I'm still faster with a pair of scissors and markers. Besides, I can false 3D by sticking the woman on a thick cardboard to give the impression she is out of the background.
Tadam !

Eventually, this morning, while I skanned the card, I play a little bit with the informatique tool. A little bit.

|The source of war - Orlan
This photo of Orlan, "The source of war", which was made for the Courbet's painting "The source of world", inspire me the poetry of a hairy body. (We won't discuss here about the title "The source of war" which sound deceiving and so easy. Men = War, really? What about women who raised this men? If all the mothers of the planete educated their son whith a little bit of coherence, there will be less violence. But it's not the topic of the day.)
|The source of the world - Gustabe Courbet
As I was born in the 70's, I can't believe that one day I'll have to ask men to not follow this mercantile fashion which want to eradicate the hair of the surface of the planete skin. Wasn't it enought that us, women, were the slave of fashionable Barbies bodies? Please, don't become as weak-minded as us.
|The ideal woman from Matell
Have you forget that for several centuries, shaving hair was a matter of censuring erotism? Hair is the sign of a sexual mature body, and of course, sexe is dangerous!
|From human to doll - Alex-Sandwell-Kliszynski
|From human to doll - Alex Sandwell Kliszynski.
|Sure that Barbie is not in grand danger here....
I will not dwell on a bristly backs or a fury chest, -even if it's probably the best place to lie down- and rather focusing on the delicious pubic bush.
Here are some reason why I love so much fur: sex is a blessing activity which need all our five sens, except that...
SIGHT: a sexe in flesh color, relying on a color flesh thigh, and bounded to a color flesh belly, it's called "tone on tone", and all painters know that if you want to show something you better use a contrast. The bristle frame draw attention to the shaft, and showcase the exquisite toy. If you add a trail from navel to south, then you just have to follow the BrailleGPS (Global Positioning for Sex).
|Jacques Sultana
SMELL: remove hairiness is removing pheromones - you know, these subtile scents which make women wet and men hard - too bad! And it's not all, where would you find a perfume more intoxicated than in the crease of the groin or on the top of the pubic? Try it.
TOUCH: Do you know the difference between a play carpet and a mat? Diversity. Hair are good for fingers, but also for the tip of your nose and the curve of your butt, depend how you use it. However, you can't get bored with them.
|This man want to show you his play carpet
TASTE: stay quiet, nobody ask you to eat them, but no smell, no taste! Deprive of its odorous tresure, skin become quite bland, indeed.
HEARING: breath create a music in the field of... I'm joking! OK hair don't produce sounds, but, if you rely on the above, you agree that thanks to them, some pleasure can cause vocals prowes.
|Even Ken is happy to play with his mini hairy Ken
Deprived of its erotic fondement, the body makes up the lack of intensity by an hastiness. Then pornography joined gymnastics.
Lover of physical exercise, everyone has different taste, but for me, I prefer make love with my five sens.
Love is in the hair...

You can by it in numeric version here
And paperbook here
If you want to please me, let a review on Amazon, It's my turn to read your words...
I'm finishing Over Lord's last corrections and I hope edite it next week, wenesday april the 22th 2016!
When I published "La cerise sur le gâteau" in french, I was proud to be abble to tell a story with actually a beginning, a middle and an end.
When I published "Oh Lord !" in french, I was proud to be abble to write a 300 pages book, with more than two caracters interacting with each others.
When I published "Oh Lord!" in english, I was so proud to be abble to translate my work - with Tim's hudge help - in my favorite langage.
When I published "La guinda del pastel " et "Oh Lord" in spanish, I was proud to have friends so wonderfull that they translate the books mainly for the fun.
Today, "Over Lord" in french makes me proud because of the style. I don't know if readers will be present, or interested, but I'm proud of this book, because it's a well writen novel.
It's my little pleasure ;-)
This painting reflets pretty well my mood this morning. Except I have no cats. Or canopy bed. Neither feathered robe, and I did not have breakfast in bed but in my lovely kitchen with my adorable Darling.
Ultimatly, this painting might as well do the trick:
Except I'm not blond...

|On the left, a piece of my holly computer, on the left, the cover of Over Lord who just has to wait for the book...
03:04 pm, I'm just starting to correct the last scene of Over Lord (french version)! After living 5 month with the software Antidote, correcting each word - yes, EACH word - I turn the page, as we say in french, and it's not just an expression when you are a writer !
Nontheless, don't be thrilled too quickly, Over Lord will not be on line tomorow, tuesday. It still remain a last reading in order to check the unity of style (I'm not sure this last sentence mean something in english! Tim, Helllllllllllp!)
I think that it will be ready for my birthday, april the 30th ;-)
Dimanche 20 mars 2016
|Painting Janet Hill
It only remains for me 3 scenes to correct and the 300 pages of "Over Lord" are finished (finished in my language, means that I'll just have to reread again all the book to check that the style stands and track the last mistakes or missing words that have slipped through "Antidote" blessed software. Potentially, it also means that if the style is not good enough for my taste, I'll start over. no, I'm not kidding!!!!)
I've been on this correction for months now, and watching the end approaching is exciting, not to mention editing. I wonder if readers will be waiting for it. Amazon favors authors who agree to be exploited by their "Unlimited" trick-contract, which is not my case, and I do not know if the book will be visible enough that readers have notice of its existence. Many of unknown in this story, hence the excitement.

Growing with big sister and brother passionnate about cinema, I learned to read with Première et Starfix, two cinéma's magazine.
This culture gives me demanding taste and I'm more and more ralely satisfy by the contemporaries movies.
That's the reason why, when I found one, I want to share it !
The movie is a biopic about the destiny of the Blacklisted film-industry players in 1948 in USA. A perfect mix betwen entertaining, educational and subversive.
|The real Donald Trumbo
The movie is welcome in this period where occidental country accept to loose more and more liberty, allow the existence of Guantanamo and where, in France, young men are just shoot in the street because they are terror suspect, without investigation, trial or judgment.
But the richness of the film does not just come from his civic and political purpose, it also raises the issue of the integrity and the need to create when you're an artist. How far are we willing to go to practice? What are we willing to risk to keep our integrity? This men had to answer to this questions. The movie tell us how.
I feel concerned by these issues because in this capitalist world in which we joyfully engulfed in recent decades, artists are still face these.

The new Mahira Delanney's novel is available in French ! The title is a joke as it means "A footbaler is summoned to testify" indeed "Barre" in french refers to the bar in a jury room, and "A footbaler got a boner" as "Barre" refers also to a hard shaft. This joke depict all Mahira's univers : Humor, creativity and eoritsme.
The story is about a female lawyer who likes nothing like control, but she lost herself in one night with a stranger. A one night lover, except that she discover the day after that he is her new client...
If you want to read the book in french, click here : "Un footballeur à la barre", c'est ici.
Mahira is not just a french author, she is also a member of the collectif author "Les Cerises" named from my first novel "La cerise sur le gâteau" which means "The icing on the cake". We can translate it like that "The cherish on the cake". In France, we use cherish instead of icing on our cakes.

What I see in this familly of clones in suits or ghost in white dresses (one of the girls simply disappears behind the boy), is that it can't have winner in this machismo factory of ordinary life. Neither the boy who forces himself to laugh with arrogance to satisfy the pride (and thus lack Father insurance) nor girls already submitted and modeled on the mother, relegated to the background. Here no niqab or circumcision (at least not apparent), just human being stuck in a scheme reproduced from father to son, from mother to daughter, from father to daughter and from mother to son.

|"Readers very happy to discover 'Oh Lord' trilogie". Motage by Laure Elisac
Good news for the french readers, the 'Oh Lord!' sequel is finished, and while sending the manuscript to my beta readers I realized that I wrote a 600 pages novel, so it could be separate in two and 'Oh Lord!" will become a trilogie.
The second volume's title will be "Over Lord", and the third will be...a surprise.
I could edite 'Over Lord' now, but I enjoy rewrite it a last time, so I hope the french readers who had wait so long to read this sequel will be patient for another few weeks...
(An extract in french is available in the "A venir" part of the blog.)

Last night, while I was crying on pirate sites delivering my "babies" for free to consumer-readers who doesn't give a fuck of the author (ouch for the ego), I discovered that 'Oh Lord!' was quoted in the online dictionary 'Wiktionnaire' -the french version of 'Wiktionary'.
It turns out that this is my favorite dictionary because it is clear and it still gives words' etymology - my guilty pleasure. See my work associated with it filled me with joy and gave me comfort.
I do not know who wrote these articles, but I told him thank you :-)

The Consequences of Cold
We haven't seen the end of Old Man Winter's wrath
I predict that this spring we will be seeing many symptoms of winter injury to plants.
On the night of January 31, I measured a temperature of 10 degrees at Upakrik Farm in Deale. During the week of January 24 to January 30, I measured four nights when temperatures dropped to 14 degrees. These cold temperatures are sufficient to kill flower buds of the more tender crops.
The combination of cold temperatures, frozen ground and the strong reflective properties of snow are the ideal combination for scalding foliage of some broadleaf evergreens. Scalding is due to high light intensity, frozen stems, constant winds and marginally hardy plants. Winter damage is one of the main causes limiting the distribution of plants in cold climates.
I would not be surprised if most of the figs are killed to the ground. The foliage of rhododendrons, camellias, some evergreen hollies, cherry laurel, evergreen euonymus and boxwoods will exhibit marginal burn with severe discoloration. The flower buds of some of the more tender azaleas such as Encore as well as flower buds of Camellia Japonica will be killed and have only limited bloom.
Home gardeners who are growing woody plants in above ground containers are likely to find that the plants will be dead by spring. The roots of plants are not so cold-hardy as are the stems and leaves. Since the containers are above ground, the temperatures in the growing medium in those containers will be similar to ambient air. This means that if temperatures drop to 10 degrees by midnight, the growing medium within those containers will equilibrate to ambient air within three to four hours. The roots of hollies, boxwoods, cherry laurel, yews, and many more will be killed. However, the roots of junipers, pine, spruce and fir trees and shrubs will survive temperatures of 10 degrees. If the growing medium is dry, there is likely to be more root kill than if the growing medium is wet.
I am hoping that we had sufficient cold to severely damage kudzu. The winter of 1976-77 did severe damage to kudzu growing in Prince George's and Montgomery counties. However, as one can easily see, kudzu has made a complete recovery. If kudzu is severely damaged by this winter's cold temperature, now's the time to attack it with additional chemicals to eradicate it.
Next week brings us spring, and the Bay Gardener's advice for salvaging winter-injured plants.

New Release: KINRU
I would like you to meet Birkran Kinru.
Birkran has a problem. He lives in a high-tech world where the bureaucratic government has extensive surveillance capabilities and where populations have been collected into densely populated cities. All of the people and all of the observation of daily activities make him nervous. He just wants to be left alone. Unfortunately, he is strangely connected to both an aspiring young politician and an anarchist hacker. What seems like an awkward connection at first becomes much more when Birkran realizes that someone is toying with him for their own benefit. You can read the whole story by borrowing it from Kindle Unlimited, or you can buy a copy for your Kindle for 99 cents. Continue reading to find out the story behind the story.
Yesterday was an important day for me, as I reached the half century mark. I decided to release a new sci-fi/dystopian novella to mark my birthday. This particular story was mostly written for the fun of writing, so I do not have great hopes for its commercial success, although I do hope that readers enjoy it. The inspiration for the story was actually the book cover, which I purchased as a premade cover before I had a story to go with it.
KINRU is not the type of science fiction where large battles occur in space, there are no aliens to defend against, and there are no new planets to explore. Technology plays a core role in the story, but the story is also about the mental health and personalities of Birkran, the politician, and the anarchist.
If you take the time to read the story, I would appreciate an honest review on the Web site of your choice. For now, KINRU will only be available as a Kindle book.

First, there was Spygate. That was followed years later by Deflategate. Now, after technical issues involving the communication of the Pittsburgh Steelers in last night's 2015 NFL season opener, are we looking at Headsetgate for the New England Patriots?
Less than two weeks after a judge overturned the four-game suspension of Tom Brady levied by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and just days after it was reported that even more teams do not trust the Patriots, it appears as if the conspiracy theorists and haters are going to continue pile on the Pats.
The question remains, are they justified?

Two weeks ago, Representative Ed Markey was appointed chair of the new Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. The committee has no legislative role but it does have subpoena power, a $3.7 million budget, a team of investigators, and a two-year term. So there should be ample opportunity to powerfully illustrate the crisis and arrive at some smart policy recommendations. There are already strong legislative proposals out there and Markey's committee could use these as a starting point for potential Congressional action. "Our job," Markey says, "will be to take these issues and translate them into a language that has political potency and is accessible to the public." Here then are some areas the Select Committee could explore in response to the global warming crisis.
1.Job Creation
There are many good groups doing work on the relationship between job creation and clean energy. The Apollo Alliance – a coalition of labor, environmental, civil rights, urban, farm, faith and business groups – has a plan that has won wide respect. It includes: promoting renewables; upgrading existing energy infrastructure; improving efficiency in transportation, industry, and buildings; research in new clean technology; and Smart Growth for cities and suburbs. Joel Rogers, a member of Apollo's National Steering Committee and Director of the Center on Wisconsin Strategy, says, "We estimate that $300 billion spent on our plan would generate about 3 million new jobs…. It would generate a little over $1 trillion in additional GDP over its ten-year development. And, most important, it would reduce our energy costs by better than $300 billion annually. That would effectively… eliminate our dependence on the Middle East… [and] it should reestablish the American position in what is clearly going to be a gigantic world market for clean-energy technology…. Our plan has been out there for about two years now and nobody has seriously questioned any of these numbers." Van Jones, Executive Director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, has discussed a Clean Energy Jobs Bill with Speaker Nancy Pelosi that would help "create green pathways out of poverty." Jones says, "The bill would get hundreds of millions of dollars in green-collar job training down to community colleges, vocational colleges and public high schools across the country. It would establish Clean Tech Training Centers in at least one public high school in every US city. And it would create a National Energy Corps, which would give America's youth the opportunity to help retrofit buildings and put up solar and wind farms." The Apollo Alliance and Campus Climate Action are working with the Ella Baker Center to advance these ideas. Elizabeth Martin Perera, Climate Policy Specialist at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), also notes that a cap on greenhouse gasses will open new markets for low-carbon fuels, low-carbon electricity, and renewables. Experts from the Economic Policy Institute have also done very good research in this area.

Pensacola is where I have called home for over fourteen years. I consider myself somewhat of a Pensacola expert (at least when it comes to family travel!)…I even have my own website about exploring Pensacola with kids! I will admit that I was surprised to learn that there were some spots that I haven't heard of yet and can't wait to explore now that Goby has pointed them out to me!
Goby.com helps take some of the stress out of planning a vacation or just finding new spots to visit in your own city. Goby.com is the sponsor for the TMOM Twitter Party on Monday, 5/23, so I wanted to see what they were all about. Using the website is easy, straightforward, and oh so helpful. I typed in my hometown of Pensacola and discovered a couple of hiking trails that I didn't know about and a charter boat that we might try this summer. There are also a few beach spots that we have yet to check out!
After exploring some options in my town, I switched to some surrounding cities like Mobile, Alabama and Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. I learned that there are five rivers that come together in Mobile Bay and there is a new resource facility for outdoor recreation, conservation, and land stewardship. We will definitely be visiting this summer!
Speaking of summer plans, Goby also has an app for the iPhone and iPad that can help make your trip planning a little bit easier.

At least some of his constituents want embattled Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. to resign.
About a dozen protesters stood outside his Chicago office today shouting, "Ho ho ho, Jesse Jr.'s gotta go."
Protest organizer Harold Davis says he believes allegations that an emissary may have offered to raise money for Gov. Rod Blagojevich in exchange for Jackson being appointed to President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat.
Davis says Jackson has tainted the democratic process and his political career is over.
Others in the south side neighborhood disagree. Several passersby shouted support for Jackson and one yelled, "Leave Jesse alone."
Jackson denies any wrongdoing.
