Love rules.
Love rules. All types of love: romantic love, sexy love, family love, spiritual love, vocational love.
Today I'm talking to you about vocational love.
Even when you love your work, it can feel hard to keep going.
You can lose steam... especially when it feels like nobody is watching, nobody is listening, and nobody wants to buy anything you're selling.
You feel like you're treading water, wearing down and not headed on the fast track to failure.
That fiery, passionate love you had for your business could consume itself before anyone has the chance to get to know you.
But what if you knew what direction you wanted to go? Where to exert your best efforts in order to create the highest impact for your business.
What if you had a north star?
When you're armed with your brand values and story, you're able to connect with your audience in a way that is authentic, trustworthy, aligned and ultimately profitable.
Defining your brand values and story means real answers to questions like:
- Why am I doing what I do?
- What are the pillars and values that I embody?
- What do I want to be known for?
- Why do people come to me?
Once you shed the light on those brand values, the love you have for what you do will infuse every email, every blog post, every project, every little tiny expression that you put forth into the world.
Because as we know... It all matters.

It's been two months since my Goldilocks Mastectomy surgery, and I am starting to get back into my favourite summer sports. I can do some light kayaking, which is great!
Swimming seems to be ok too, although I haven't tried any serious swimming yet, just hanging about in the lake so far. I still float very well, even with the Baby Bears.
I find that it is still very important to do the stretches given to me by my physiotherapist. I do them in the morning and evening, and they are helping to keep my flexibility. This one is lying on a big foam roller and stretching in in "T", and then in a "Y". Some light strength exercises have just been added - so I will have to start those.

The Government highlights that La Rioja has met in 2017 with debt and deficit targets
- La Rioja has met the debt and deficit targets in 2017 and closes the budget year at pre-crisis execution levels, according to the Minister of Public Administration and Finance, Alfonso Domínguez, who has shown his "satisfaction" for this fact.
Precisely, has indicated, in the subsequent appearance to the Governing Council, accompanied by the spokesperson of the regional executive, Begoña Martínez Arregui, who has informed the Council tomorrow about the closure of the budget execution for the year 2017 of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja and the Executive Financing Strategy for the current fiscal year.
In the first place, it has detailed that La Rioja has closed the year 2017 fulfilling the objective of budgetary stability in terms of public debt set by the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council for 2017 at 18.3 percent of GDP, as This morning the Bank of Spain reported. Thus, the debt of La Rioja, in absolute terms, stood at 1,570 million euros in the fourth quarter, which is 83 million more than in 2016, which have been used to finance the expenses derived from the coverage of the deficit and the return of negative settlements.
Likewise, La Rioja has met in 2017 with the objective of stability at the close of the year with a deficit of -0.39 percent, below the limit set at -0.6 percent. For the counselor "these data confirm that La Rioja is a solvent community, with credibility and a future, since it has been able to contribute to the fiscal consolidation of this country, strengthening the quality of essential public services and reducing taxes on citizens" .
In this sense, the degree of budget execution rose to 94.43 percent in 2017, "thus being at pre-crisis levels". According to the execution data, the Government of La Rioja has given priority to social and health expenditure, since the degree of execution of SERIS reaches 99.40 percent; the Ministry of Health, 98.26 percent; Education, Training and Employment, 94.68 percent and Social Policies, 84.51 percent. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and the Environment (92.66) and Promotion and Territorial Policy (95.05%) also stand out for their high execution.
As for the income budget, it has been executed at 94.05 percent and highlights the behavior of indirect taxes, whose execution rises to 114 percent, as a result of the improvement of the economic situation and the greater activity. Thus, in 2017, more than 327 million euros have been collected.
Domínguez stressed that in this context, "the Government of La Rioja has designed a financing strategy for the current year, which is based on three axes: the maintenance of La Rioja in the Financial Facility Fund, in extending the average life of the debt portfolio and setting interest rates, and looking for new financing formulas in the bond market. "
Thus, the regional executive has agreed to expand the accession of La Rioja in the Financial Facility Fund during the second quarter of the year and while the conditions remain favorable for the region, so it will hire a new operation with the ICO by value of 169.4 million.
This new operation is added to the one carried out for the first quarter for a value of 82.4 million euros. The Financial Facility Fund is the only funding mechanism enabled exclusively for communities that have met budget stability objectives.
The permanence of La Rioja in this mechanism allows it, on the one hand, to cover the financing needs of the Community under conditions more favorable than those currently offered by the market and, on the other, to extend the average life of the debt portfolio and to fix the interest rates before a foreseeable rise in the markets.
The Government of La Rioja will continue to adhere to this mechanism as long as its conditions continue to be favorable to the interests of the region. Otherwise, it would explore other financing channels such as the bond market, which includes the so-called responsible bonds, directly linked to social development and to finance projects with environmentally sustainable benefits.
Currently, 96.8 percent of the debt of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja is covered by long-term debt (of which, 81.5 percent are public debt issues and 15.5 percent bank loans ) and 3.2 percent in the short term.

IceCube search for dark matter annihilation in nearby galaxies and galaxy clusters
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
We present the results of a first search for self-annihilating dark matter in nearby galaxies and galaxy clusters using a sample of high-energy neutrinos acquired in 339.8 days of live time during 2009/10 with the IceCube neutrino observatory in its 59-string configuration. The targets of interest include the Virgo and Coma galaxy clusters, the Andromeda galaxy, and several dwarf galaxies. We obtain upper limits on the cross section as a function of the weakly interacting massive particle mass between 300 GeV and 100 TeV for the annihilation into bb¯, W+W−, τ+τ−, μ+μ−, and νν¯. A limit derived for the Virgo cluster, when assuming a large effect from subhalos, challenges the weakly interacting massive particle interpretation of a recently observed GeV positron excess in cosmic rays.

It's required of editorial writers to provide at least one editorial each year reminding voters to go to the polls or — in the case of Washington state voters — mark their mail-in ballots and get them in. (It's a contract obligation, right after the list of words and phrases to avoid, such as "ilk," "beat a dead horse" and "seriously consider.")
So, please, get out your ballot, make your choices and send it in.
So far, turnout is not looking impressive, as The Herald's Jerry Cornfield reported Thursday. As of the morning of Oct. 31, only 9 percent of the 456,000 ballots mailed to Snohomish County voters nearly two weeks before had been returned. That's a rate of return that county Auditor Carolyn Weikel called kind of "baffling." That's from an election official who is accustomed to voters taking their time with their ballots.
Even some high-profile races and measures, particularly in Everett, Mukilteo and Snohomish, weren't moving the needle — oops, sorry; "moving the needle" is on that list, too — were not prompting voters to get their ballots in early. Only 10 percent of Everett voters, nearly 15 percent of Mukilteo voters and 13 percent of Snohomish voters, had returned their ballots before the end of the month.
There's nothing wrong with waiting until Election Day, Nov. 7 this year, to cast ballots, but the lagging turnout can indicate a lack of enthusiasm during a particular election year. And that, when you consider what's at stake this year, is baffling.
Everett, along with three council races, is choosing a mayor following the longest tenure — 14 years — of an Everett mayor in history, and almost certainly for the first time is electing a woman to the post. Two races in Mukilteo — one for mayor and one council seat — are contentious, to put it charitably. And that's no less the case in Snohomish, which has five city council races among its seven council seats and is choosing a mayor to run its new "strong mayor" form of government. Oh, and Snohomish voters also are advising the city on whether they want to see cannabis sold in retail shops within the city limits.
Additionally, three-fifths of the Snohomish County Council is up for election.
And nearly every community in the county is being asked to elect or re-elect representatives for mayor, city council, school board, fire or other districts, along with accepting or rejecting local tax measures.
Turnout in presidential election years and even in years when congressional and legislative races are in play is generally higher. Snohomish County turnout last November was nearly 79 percent and 80 percent in 2012. But turnout in odd-numbered years, when local races predominate, has been far lower and trending downward: 52 percent in 2011, 42 percent in 2013 and 35 percent in 2015.
Every election is different, offering candidates and measures that can influence turnout. For example, the state's voters this year are not considering any initiatives or referendums that typically can increase interest in voting.
The irony is that off-year elections, where the races are local, often have the greatest impact on communities and residents, determining the local officials who will be making decisions regarding public safety, transportation, zoning, businesses, schools, fire protection, local taxes and more.
We're reminded often that elections have consequences.
But there are also consequences in not voting.
Ballots due Nov. 7
A listing of the editorial board's endorsements prior to the primary and general election will appear on the Sunday Herald Opinion page, but is already available online at www.HeraldNet.com/tag/editorials/ as are the full editorials for many races in the county.
Once you have your ballot filled out, you can mail it — and don't forget the stamp — or take it to one of several ballot drop boxes in the county. A full list of ballot drop box location can be found online at tinyurl.com/SnoCoVoteDropBoxes.

text: Bullying, Betrayal, Manipulative, Controlling, Anger Problem, Walking on Egg Shells. These are safe words we use to make unacceptable behavior appear normal. In fact, they are all ways to hide the truth from ourselves and from society at large. We think that the term abuse is only appropriate when talking about physical abuse, sexual abuse or incest. What is less well known is that all of these words express the experience of emotional or psychological abuse. Since awareness is 99% of change, we must stop hiding the truth from ourselves by using words that normalize abusive behavior. Otherwise

Atelah St Cyr & Zeylah St Cyr AldenticalZ
"My name is Atelah, You can call me tae if it's easier but I'd prefer my name I think getting older I realized I should learn to love the name my mother gave me. I've been dancing since I was two years old. Ever since I could remember I've always been dancing especially having my twin sister Zeylah or Zae by my side. My mother and father were musicians and my mom was the lead singer of the band. I remember getting on that stage, my sister & I are just dancing our hearts out and people came out and gave us some money, which was a shock! I think by then we knew we could go far. Of course, when you're younger you start with ballet and I did love ballet but man hip hop gave me this energy and feeling I never felt before so I had to take a leap and I love it. Although, I honestly wish I would've stayed doing ballet. But I've danced in the chocolate nutcracker which was an amazing experience for me I really got the dance experience of long hours of dancing constant practice – the dance world was amazing to me and there is so much we can learn and want to achieve in different styles of dance. Shortly after that I went along to dancing in high school for our dance team at West Orange High School in Divine Illusion. What an experience that was, our first time we actually got to teach choreography that Zeylah & I made up (and by then we really knew we could really go far with determination)! I stopped dancing after high school and picked it back up after I had my daughter Anaïse yes I gave her a difficult name just like me, I started off horribly, but after three times and going back with motivation I got back to exactly where I needed to be and I was able to assist my coach and that was so much fun. I love teaching because it makes me feel as if I was meant to do it; I love having a room full of kids eager and ready to learn. I love to push my kids to the max - so if your child is in my class, get ready for a STAR TO BE BORN! I love bringing something out of someone they didn't even know they had and making them the best they can be for themselves. In my class I teach confidence - it's such a key factor to me because what you bring to the floor could be your last so you have to give it all you got. I love making my kids do solos yes SOLOS because it will help them get out of their shy, timid side and blossom like a flower. I believe every child has that confidence they need, I know they have it because when your'e not watching parents they're giving all they got to their favorite song in the room! That was me, so I definitely know potential when I see it. I love every child like my own. Ultimate Dance Center is literally a family and I can't wait for you to join and come dance with me - let's be the stars we were born to be." Atelah teaches Hip Hop for several ages in all levels.

The students of Jadavpur University on Thursday staged fresh protest after Vice-Chancellor Abhijit Chakraborty stepped into his office, a week after the controversial police action on agitating students.
The students sat outside his office shouting slogans demanding his resignation, stopping short of a gherao this time.
"The VC today came to the campus around 12 noon and went to his office. We have decided to continue with the academic strike unless he resigns, but we won't gherao him," said Gitoshree, a member of JU students' union.
West Bengal Governor K N Tripathi, who is the Chancellor of the university, said "outsiders" had fomented trouble inside the prestigious institution.
"As far as Jadavpur University is concerned, let the students learn, let them go for studies and let others (be) outside the campus... they (the outsiders) should not send trouble... the trouble in Jadavpur University is being sent by outsiders," Tripathi told reporters here today.
"Let the university not be politicised... Let it be a centre of excellent education," he added.
Asked if he has received any letter from R Chidambaram, chairman of the three-member search committee constituted by the state government, to suggest names for the post of JU Vice-Chancellor, Tripathi said, "I've not received any letter from anybody."
The Vice-Chancellor's visit to the JU campus comes on a day when a proposed march to the Kolkata Police headquarters at Lal Bazar was called off by the protesting students after the cases against them were withdrawn.
Thousands of students had marched through the city's streets last Saturday demanding Chakraborty's resignation.
Meanwhile, students in the JU mass communication department had boycotted their examination on September 18.

Viewing Party

|Click here for related articles on Fanlore.
A Viewing Party is a gathering of people with similar interests (a fandom or a specific pairing), watching various fannish sources (films, episodes) or fannish creations (fanvids) together and interacting with each other and discussing the source while doing so. Both watching and interacting can take place in a direct, face-to-face setting (for example, at a convention, a fanclub's meeting or a fannish houseparty) or by means of synchronised watching and chatting. The synchronisation can be achieved by members' starting their individual DVD players at the same time or - more easily - by one member's assuming the role of the party host and broadcasting the source via a streaming device or service, e.g. Livestream. The interaction at such a virtual viewing party takes place by written communication via chat or social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Livejournal).
A viewing party, especially in its virtual and thus very accessible form, is a fanac with strong focus on the community experience, uniting fans from around the world and from various timezones in one fannish online event. Its success depends not only on a well-functioning technical infrastructure both on the side of the host and the individual participants (e.g. bandwidth is a vital factor), but also on the quality of the interaction. The chat offers both a running commentary on the source, in the style of a light-hearted real-time meta discussion, and immediate sharing of emotional reactions, e.g. squee. The conversation is often accompanied by drinking games with more or less flexible rules; it often spawns plotbunnies which inspire participants to create fanworks in reply to a certain interpretation or a plothole.
Examples for online viewing parties
Star Trek: The Original Series, with focus on Kirk/Spock: Viewing Parties of the Kirk/Spock Slash Community on LJ; Space Husbands; Shipper's Shack; T'Lara's Cinema of Squee
The Master and Commander part of the Age of Sail fandom has mirror communities MandC_Watch on LJ and on DW
In The X-Files fandom, the SkypePhiles gathered between 2008 - 2013 in a skype group chat to watch scheduled episodes together.

My MindChronic Fatigue Syndrome does things to your mind. It can lower your IQ by as much as forty points. Short term memory is almost nonexistent. I watched it happen, as if I could stand outside myself, as if my mind was assessing my mind.
When I first got sick, I thought it was a bad case of the flu. After several weeks of no let up, I thought I had a bad case of mononucleosis. I had had it in college and this felt very much like it, only worse. I had malaise, aches and pains, a sore throat and a low grade fever. I was extremely exhausted and walking felt like wading through jello. Between doctor's appointments I lay on the couch.
What a great time to catch up on my reading, I thought. By the end of the second book, I noticed that I had to reread pages, paragraphs, that I didn't know what I'd just read. It became a strain to read at all. I love doing crossword puzzles, but I had already noticed that I wasn't able to finish them in ten minutes like I was used to doing. Some days were worse than others. If you're a crossword puzzle fan, you know that if you put the puzzle aside when you've gone through it once, you can pick it up later or the next day and simply finish it - just as if some part of your mind had been working on it the entire day without your awareness. I've always marveled at that. But now, picking it up later didn't help. I couldn't finish. As the weeks wore on and I wasn't any better, I noticed that my ability to solve puzzles grew even worse. Huge gaps in the puzzles. I had the feeling that the word was right on the tip of my tongue or my mind, but I couldn't retrieve it for the life of me.
I'm usually pretty good at remembering names. Not now. I watch TV, see some actor I've seen many times before, say Jeff Bridges, and not be able to remember his name.
With a feeling of great frustration, I ask Jim to tell me. The first few times I did this, he looked at me with surprise. I'm usually the name supplier. Not more than ten minutes later I think, "What's that actor's name again?" I struggle with this for a few minutes, using every technique I can think of to try to recall the name--what Jim looked like when he told me, the movies I've seen with this actor--but although I could see the movies in my mind, I couldn't remember the names of those either.
I understand why that woman committed suicide last year after getting a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. By now, I've read quite a bit about Chronic Fatigue and know that it affects the brain. One publication sent me by the CFIDS Association (Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome) had articles which discussed EEGs which showed that the temporal lobes slow down with this disease. (CFIDS Association address: PO Box 220398, Charlotte, NC 28222-0398)
But CFS patients get better, they say. It's not a progressive disease. I'll just have to wait it out.
I'm a photographer and a writer. Since last January, when I got CFS, I haven't had the energy to stand in my darkroom printing or even to take pictures. My photography work is on hold. I've been writing poetry reviews, essays and short stories for years. Early on, I accepted the fact that I wouldn't write a short story for a while. Then I got nervous. What if my editor at Contact II sent me books to review? How would I manage?
It was in June, five months after I got sick, when I was sent a book to review. It was called Raven Tells Stories: A Collection of Writings by Native Alaskans. By then, my crossword puzzle ability had improved slightly, very slightly. I still wasn't able to read a novel, much less the academic journals I enjoy so much, like Signs, Representations and Human Sexuality. How would I manage this? But to my surprise I was happy to have a new book to review. Perhaps, I thought, it's a good sign that I'm excited to begin this one.
I took copious notes and read the poems aloud to Jim. I even looked in my journals for relevant articles about Native American cultures. Since I have only a couple of hours in the morning when my brain seems to function, I used this time only for the book. After a few days of note taking, I sat down at the computer to transcribe them. This is the way I've always worked. Read the book, take notes and then put it into the computer so that I can add to them, move them around as necessary and so gradually build the review. But, as I read the notes I had taken, I saw that they were meaningless. I threw them out.
I was shocked and very upset. I felt like crying. My mind was that far gone that I hadn't taken coherent notes. What was I going to do? How could I have written such nonsense? The notes said nothing of substance. I didn't have the basis for any kind of review here.
I started again the next day. I wasn't going to give up so easily. This time, I sat down at my desk with the book, in front of the computer, and began. I had to literally clear everything off my desk other than the computer and the book. I took new notes, telling myself to read very carefully, pay attention, and most of all, to be sure to stop as soon as I got tired. My instructions to myself worked. I've never taken so long to do a review and I don't know how I did it exactly, but I had found a different way to concentrate. I could not sit on the couch, the chair, or lie in the bed to read, to take notes. That didn't work. I had to do it this way, at my desk, sitting upright, in front of the computer, with no other distractions.
When I put all my notes together, I realized that I had gone over the same sections twice and made almost identical notes each time. My memory wasn't serving me well at all. Two sets of notes about the same material! But, at the end, despite all the unnecessary repetition, the review was done. And it made sense.
I gave it to Jim to read. "This may be the best one you've written," he said. "It's completely clear, not as complex as your reviews usually are."
"Is it too simple?" I asked.
"No, not at all, it's good, very good."
Since then, I've written two short stories. I used the same technique--clear the desk and write directly on the computer. A friend of mine who regularly critiques my work said that my writing has become terser and clearer. She says I've improved, she likes it better now than before.
The puzzles still rarely get done, but they are closer to it now on some days. I still don't remember the names of actors. When I've told friends about this, they laugh and say they have trouble remembering things, too. Just a sign of aging, they say. I'm fifty-three and certainly one's short term memory doesn't improve with age. But no matter what friends say, what they're going through is nothing like this. I'm not like I was before, eleven months ago.
I've said that I only have a few hours in the morning in which I can work with any lucidity. What to do the rest of the day? I doze on the couch. I watch some TV. I try to do crossword puzzles. Then, for my fifty-third birthday, my son Tom gave me a most wonderful gift, something which has made a big difference in my life. He bought me a modem and the software for America Online. A modem connects the computer to the phone. The software is one of many on line services available, like Compuserve, Prodigy and Genie.
Once Jim helped me set it up, I was able to tap into the most marvelous means of communication. Suddenly, I was no longer so cut off from the world. I could talk to people all over the United States. Best of all, I discovered that I could do this at any time, even at night when the rates are lower. For some reason, this does not require the same kind of concentration as reading or writing. It's more like talking.
I now belong to several writers workshops on line, get stories uploaded to me weekly and send my critiques to the members of the various workshops. Most of the stories are not terribly good, but the critiquing seems to have sharpened my mind somewhat. By saying what is wrong with a story, I've learned to be more critical of my own writing.
Also, I've developed some interesting friendships with people I've never seen. I look forward to talking with them, and taking part in group discussions. I've even organized a women's discussion group, called The Women's Room, which meets every Thursday at 9 PM for an hour or so. What an amazing thing this is! How grateful I am to Tom for thinking of this for me.
Last but certainly not least, because of being on line, I'm in touch with other people who have CFS! We compare symptoms and solutions. Though there are no cures at this point, it's helpful to know what people have tried and how they manage. Also, America Online has a software library. I've downloaded some software which enables me to connect with bulletin boards around the country. There's even a Chronic Fatigue Bulletin Board. This lists the latest information on CFS.
Now, as I sit here at my computer typing, it's 2 PM and I'm exhausted. I'm starting to feel shaky, which is what happens when I've overdone it. Time to lie down now. I'll take today's Times and try to do the crossword puzzle. At least it'll tell me how my mind is today.

The other day, I cleaned my room and found photo album we made together when I was with you. Yesterday, I saw you in my dream and you told me that you were waiting for my love again.
And today standing on the street, I saw someone who looks like you.
She just walked away.
Since then, I've lost all my pace.
I'm trying to remember what faded away.
Inside of me, wind turns into a hurricane when it seems to tell me about love.
Inside of me things are in a state of drift when it seems to tell me about your world I can't feel anymore.
I'll find a way to make you feel my mind It has changed me altogether that you drifted away.
In this way, you'll be in my heart like something lasts forever and makes me awake.

Crossbows: Bolt-Hunting Battle Rages On
As some of you might remember, I attended a Bowhunting Round Table event in Illinois a few months ago with fellow outdoor writers and archery industry manufacturers (see blog post about it here). It was there I had my first crossbow-shooting experience. I was blown away by all the new innovations in crossbow technology with best arrow quiver that help me a lot to carry my arrow.
You don't have to be a hunting editor (i.e. live and breathe hunting news 24/7) to be aware that the popularity of crossbow hunting has been on a continuous growth curve for years. At the same time, if you've ever heard the "C" word brought up among a group of hunters, it doesn't take long to realize there are strong opinions about the use of crossbows for hunting. It depends who you're talking to, but chances are you'll typically hear the "strongest" opinions when you start comparing crossbows to their compound cousins among a group of bowhunters.
Currently, crossbows are legal to hunt with in 49 of the United States, and 10 of the Canadian provinces/territories. But don't be confused—that doesn't mean you can march into any of those places and start shooting bolts at bucks. Each state and province/territory has detailed, unique crossbow hunting regulations that you need to pay very close attention to.
Looking at the United States, nine states only allow physically challenged hunters to use crossbows. Other states permit the use of crossbows for all hunters, but only during archery season. Some states classify crossbows more along the lines of firearms, allowing their use only during firearm season, but not during archery season. (See, you need to do your homework.)
So, which state is the "rogue" in this crossbow hunting revolution? Oregon. It's illegal for anyone to hit the field with a crossbow, during any hunting season—firearm or archery. In fact, the Oregon Bowhunters, a major bowhunting organization that's active in the state of Oregon, openly condemn the use of crossbows "'aka stringed-rifles'" during archery season (see No. 10 in their "Official Position Statements" document).
It's an ever-changing atmosphere in the crossbow-hunting world. In terms of recent legislation, this fall will be the first time hunters in New York state will be permitted to hunt with a crossbow during regular big game seasons. Prior to this year, only severely physically disabled hunters have been allowed to use crossbows (with the use of a breath-tube trigger).
If you've been checking in regularly here at my "Mixed Bag" blog, you've seen that I'm steadily making my progression into life as a bowhunter with a compound BowTech Invasion CPX. It's been a long time coming, but finally I'm getting in the groove. As a fellow hunter, you probably agree: There's no such thing as "enough is enough." I can't help but think, What's next for me? Perhaps I'll be picking up a crossbow in the near future.
In the meantime, I know plenty of NAHC members regularly send bolts downrange. More power to you. Log in and leave a comment in the box below with your best bit of crossbow hunting advice with the best drop away arrow rest. I'll choose my favorite Friday, September 2, 2011. The winner will receive a TenPoint Crossbow Technologies' brand-new, fully retractable ACUrope cocker and a 12-pack of TenPoint's Unloading Bolts to make their time in crossbow country a bit more comfortable.
(Side note: NAH Senior Editor Luke Hartle and I had a friendly crossbow shooting competition at the outdoor writers' Bowhunting Round Table event in Illinois. Check it out, and pay attention to my right ear when I'm trying to shoot. Luke is kind of a poor sport.)

FORT LAUDERDALE -- A jury awarded $500,000 to a woman whose life-threatening tubal pregnancy was misdiagnosed as constipation and venereal disease while she was serving a 60-day sentence in the Broward County Jail.
The eight-member jury deliberated about two hours, returning the verdict late Thursday before U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra. Jurors awarded Charleen Foree $300,000 for physical and emotional suffering, $100,000 for the loss of internal reproductive organs, and $100,000 for future medical expenses.

Traffic on roads may consist of pedestrians, ridden or herded animals, vehicles, streetcars and other conveyances, either singly or together, while using the public way for purposes of travel. Traffic laws are the laws which govern traffic and regulate vehicles, while rules of the road are both the laws and the informal rules that may have developed over time to facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic.
Organized traffic generally has well-established priorities, lanes, right-of-way, and traffic control at intersections.

The last village I visited was called Nuiqsut. A new group of volunteers (2 coasties and a USPHS veterinarian) joined Dr. Coburn and I for this trip. We left early on Tuesday morning on an ERA Alaska flight. The pilot, Eric, held the door open for us as we walked out to the plane. I asked him, "Do you have a copilot?" He responded with, "No, do you want to be one?" Of course I said yes, and I joined him in the cockpit.
The small airplanes are not heated or pressurized because they fly so low to the ground (relatively speaking). So during the last few flights to the villages, I stayed bundled up in my winter jacket, hat & gloves. However, in the copilot seat, the sun was shining right through the windows, keeping me nice and warm. It felt like a summer day with the sun warming my face!
Nuiqsut is a medium sized village, with a population of about 400. Once again, we stayed at the local health clinic and set up surgery in the garage. However, the health clinic apartment was full so we got to sleep on random couches in offices and meeting rooms. We also showered in the emergency room shower.....kinda weird.
After settling in, we headed out to the village, going door to door vaccinating dogs for rabies. For dinner, we went to the local hotel, which has a restaurant/buffet that is open to the public for $20 all you can eat. The food was amazing (grilled salmon, homemade mushroom soup, steamed veggies, and peach cobbler). I think it was the best food joint in all of the Arctic, even better than the restaurants in Barrow.
On Wednesday, we had a few surgeries scheduled. It was a pretty exciting day, Dr. Renee did her first spay of the trip and the coasties, Josh and Nathan, learned how to properly wrap an IV catheter on a dog (its much different than people because of all their fur!). Later in the day, we split into two groups and vaccinated the rest of the dogs in town. Thrusday consisted of spays and neuters and visiting any houses that we missed on the first 2 days since people were not home. On our way back, we stopped and chatted with a guy who was working on preparing a seal hide to dry. Once it was tanned, he was going to make his son a hunting pouch with it, to store all of his hunting supplies.
Our flight left on Friday afternoon, so we had the entire morning free. It was a gorgeous sunny day so we went for a walk down by the river. The ice was just begining to break up, leaving large chunks of ice stranded on shore or floating downstream. We had a blast jumping from iceburg to iceburg and taking rediculous pictures. While there, we even saw some beautiful tundra swans floating in a pool of water between the iceburgs.

I have been known to get emotional over wasted food before (read more here), but this time I managed to keep it together 🙂 This milk got spilled on day 12 of Plastic Free July and is part of a longer milk and now bread related saga… I started buying milk in glass bottles from the milkman for several reasons:
- It is plastic free
- It is organic and unhomogenized
- It is British (so localish i.e. not imported from overseas)
- It is not from a supermarket.
However it has not been a smooth ride so far – I had a few issues with getting the order right to begin with (my fault not theirs) and although that is sorted now it is all still fairly new and my son was excited about finding the milk on the doorstep. He wanted to carry it to the kitchen (he's 6 and very enthusiastic) and did a great job until putting it down where he managed to miss the worktop entirely. As you can see the milk bottle lost the fight with the floor 🙂
So there is obviously the downside that milk in glass bottles is breakable and with two small kids I do need to supervise them closely when they decide that they absolutely must be the ones to get it out of the fridge and pour it on their cereal!
My other concern about the milk is whether or not the farmers are getting paid fairly for it. I am buying the milk from Milk and More which is part of Dairy Crest. I read an article in the Guardian here from 2012 which seems to imply Dairy Crest are not paying farmers a fair amount but it is a bit vague and perhaps out of date, so I gave Milk and More a call to try and find out what percentage of the cost of the milk goes to the farmers. They have been very evasive about it so far and each person I speak to has told me they don't know at which point I ask to be put through to someone who does. I'm still waiting for them to get back to me with an answer…
I don't know of any viable alternative plastic free, supermarket free, organic, unhomogenized milk options locally so I am going to stick with this for now until / unless a better solution comes along.
Bread and milk have been a bit of a bone of contention in my house. Ever since I stopped shopping in supermarkets I stopped buying enough bread and milk to last us all week. Instead I bought them little and often, but sometimes (ok very frequently) I entirely run out of bread and milk because I haven't had a chance to pop to the corner shop to get more. So I decided to give ordering bread with the milk a go so that we stop regularly running out of bread.
I naively didn't expect that it would be left outside my door in a plastic bag though. Yes the bread comes in a plastic bag (I am allowing this exception as I rarely eat it – it is for my family and student), but it doesn't need to come in another plastic bag! When I spoke to them about the milk I asked them not to put the bread in a plastic bag next time so hopefully I won't have this problem again!
So what happened throughout the rest of days 8 to 13?
I did have a couple of successful mostly plastic free days during this period (only I was plastic free, not the rest of my family). I found it easier to be more plastic free the days that I wasn't at home.
I bought plastic free cucumbers from the Food Market in Lewes (find out more about the market here) and my mum kindly gave me a cucumber she had grown herself, so I can happily eat cucumbers again! I also made plastic free chips. I was making baked potatoes anyway and decided to make the chips in the overn at the same time to freeze for later use. I open froze them on the non-stick oven sheets pictured (to make sure they didn't stick together while freezing) and then put them old ice cream tubs to store longer term.
Single use plastic I used/ chucked/ recycled specifically for me during days 8 to 13:
- I used and bought mayonnaise (plastic in the lid)
- Stickers on fruit
- Plastic in butter wrapper and on the label.
- Tomato puree (plastic lid)
- Olive oil (plastic pourer/ in the lid)
- Tahini (plastic in lid)
- Coconut oil (plastic in lid)
- Toilet paper packaging
- Vinegar for washing – comes in a plastic bottle with a plastic lid
- I recycled a plastic bottle which contained a water purifier for our fish tank – I do absolutely nothing for our fish tank – my husband does all the hard work, but I do get to enjoy looking at it, so I guess this is shared plastic…
I also went to a wedding, ate food and drank lots of wine which would have had plastic packaging, but I didn't see it – so it doesn't count 🙂
Single use plastic I used/ chucked / recycled that wasn't for me during days 8 to 13:
- Cucumber wrappers
- Kids stickers and sticker sheet backing
- Random plastic bubble wrap off the kitchen floor
- Packaging associated with kids toy (was given to my son a while ago for his birthday but we only just got round to opening it)
- Bin full of sweet wrappers (not mine:) )
- Pen went in the bin as it was broken by my son
- Bread bags
- Marmite jar lid
- My parents left behind some plastic rubbish which they thought we would be able to recycle but we couldn't (they very kindly babysat for us while we were at the wedding).
- Fizzy drinks cans – apparently they are plastic lined (read more here)
- Tea bags – many tea bags contain plastic – read more here.
- Rice bag – I buy rice in bulk 5kg bags, but I decant the rice a bit at a time into a smaller container. I finished decanting the rice on day 13 and had two bags – an outer very strong looking bag and an inner flimsy plastic bag to deal with. I keep the outer bags but the thin bag went in the recycling.
That's it for now, but I will be back with more plastic related posts soon!!!
