First she takes a little trip to South Burlington to visit some places she hasn't been in forever even though they are only 5 (or less) miles away.
I managed to blow $100 but it was fun. I went to Barnes & Noble and it was almost like they knew what books I hadn't gotten yet because Borders doesn't have them and I haven't been shopping online. I couldn't get everything of course but they had 5 or 6 books that I would have bought without a second thought. I couldn't really blow tons of cash (ha!) so I went for lower priced ones so I could get 2. You see my logic here? I picked up A Vegan Taste of Thailand and The Artful Vegan. That's pretty good restraint right? Then I walked a little further along to Healthy Living. I haven't been there since they moved to their new location and everyone keeps saying it's really nice, cool stuff, yadda yadda. Ok, they were right. City Market downtown Burlington has a lot of cool stuff but Healthy Living also has some cool stuff. Both places are good as they each have things the other doesn't. I limited myself to things I can't get downtown and of course tried to show a little restraint.
-Unsweetened MimicCream
-Maine Root Sasparilla
-Grapeseed oil Veganaise (lots of people say this one is better and I usually only get the regular kind)
-So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt in plain, Strawberry Banana, & Raspberry
-Plain vegan gel (I want to try and make trifle like my husband remembers from home)
-another book The New Now and Zen Epicure (it's like they knew I had been looking at this book for a while or something, bastards!)
-smoked sea salt
-peanut butter filled prezels
-ginger beer (the good stuff, from England)
I feel like I just sent myself a care package, a heavy and expensive one. Healthy Living is definitely trying to woo me. At City Market they have a little cookbook section with veggie, omni and local cookbooks. Vegan books are light and they never have Isa's books there (I've had mixed results in requesting stuff). In Healthy Living there she is, looking out from the cover of Vegan with a Vengeance and look on another shelf and there's Veganomicon peering out over the top of a Moosewood cookbook of some kind. I fixed that by moving the Moosewood book. I stupidly keep looking and see the Zen Epicure book and just had to get it.
Actually the whole reason I went to South Burlington was to check out the mall for our holiday shop I'll be helping to set up in a couple weeks (yes the holidays are actually almost here) and I figured I'm already here may as well spend all my money.
What does she do next?
Reclaims her kitchen!
Working full time and blogging like crazy can have the effect of letting things get away from you. The dishes were piling up. Lex was helping a little but it just took a good couple of hours of focused attack to clear it up.I am most proud of the rack and shelves. Not that a had a good before picture (maybe you can tell from the old kitchen post) but now all of my spices are organized and together (kinda). The bottom racks are full but tidy and navigable. Books are all straight and nice. Jars all straight and nice. Ah well, I'm liking it anyway. And yes, that's a jar of pickled onions on the floor. My husband is strange. Right next to it is a big ol' bag of shallots. He wants to make pickled shallots which are much better than pickled onions according to him. We need some malt vinegar though and I can't find any anywhere. Anyone have a bunch of malt vinegar they would like to send to me?

BOSTON -- MassGOP Chairman Kirsten Hughes released the following statement after the Democrat-led Legislature advanced a massive new income tax hike in today's Constitutional Convention:
"Today's vote confirms what Senate President Rosenberg recently admitted - that Democrats are 'ever at the ready' to hike taxes on the people of Massachusetts. While Beacon Hill liberals employ lofty rhetoric, voters should see today's vote for what it really is: another attempt to raise taxes on every individual at every level to satisfy Democrats' unquenchable thirst for spending. Even after Democrats hiked taxes ten times over eight years, Governor Baker still had to close a $1.8 billion deficit, which he did without raising taxes while boosting support for our schools and communities. Democrats in the Legislature should realize we can't tax our way to prosperity." - MassGOP Chairman Kirsten Hughes
Democrats raised taxes on the people of Massachusetts 10 times during the eight years their party had unified control of state government:
Sales Tax increase, 2009: $800 million
Gas Tax Increase, 2013, $95 million
Alcoholic Beverage Sales Tax, 2009: $80 million
RMV Fee Increase, 2009: $75 million
Local Option Meals Tax, 2009: $61 million
Corporate tax increase for utilities, 2013: $49 million
Satellite TV tax, 2009: $26 million
Local Option Hotel Tax, 2009: $34 million
Local Telecom Tax, 2009: $26 million
Gas Tax Indexing, 2013, $1 billion

I absolutely love music & lyrics that speak to me……and this song has been speaking to me of late.
Am I wrong for thinking out of the box? Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way? I'm definitely not trying to do what everybody else is doing.
And I think that I most certainly know that whenever I stumble, I do always grow.
The road that I walk down is mine to walk – I am getting better at not looking back, but I do enjoy reflecting on how far I've come.
I have also become infinitely better at owning my decisions, creating my own reality (because perception is reality) and not giving up my power by succumbing to the perceptions of others and allowing others to dictate who I am, what I should be or how I should feel.
I am fighting for my life. I won't let go.
No, I won't let others compare me – I am unique. Everyone is.
I know that I am not alone……in discovering life, in finding out who I am, in finding out what I want.
This IS life. That's just how we feel ❤
Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?
I ain't tryna do what everybody else doing
Just 'cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home
So am I wrong
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see
Am I tripping for having a vision?
My prediction: Imma be on top of the world
Walk, walk, don't look back, always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel
Fight for yours and don't let go, don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel

View prices Book a session
All in the comfort of your own home
The last thing you need when you have littles ones is the stress of getting ready, packing everything they need and travelling to a studio. It's vital for an enjoyable session that everyone is happy and relaxed, so for this reason I come to your home where you and your child can feel comfortable in your own familiar surroundings.
If you haven't got a lot of space, don't worry. I use small portable backdrops that fit into even the smallest of rooms.
Just had an amazing photo shoot with Tracey. The fact she comes to your own home makes everything so personal. Words cannot explain how impressed I am with how it all went.
Tracey was absolutely lovely and brilliant with Jacob. She has such lovely ideas and makes it very personal... she even used Jacob's wooden toy train in the shoot!
My photos are amazing! Tracey was fantastic with Arlo (2 weeks old)! Not once did we feel we were being rushed or taking too long feeding etc. Couldn't be happier!
Could not recommended this lady enough. Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. Really made the session fun and enjoyable and she communicated very well.

Yeah!!! This week, we had our first official day of fall! We had just a little taste of some awesome fall weather, but it quickly vanished, hopefully it will be back soon. Fall is one of my most favorite times of year. I put out all of my fall decor last week...I am a sucker for pumpkins, scarecrows, or anything that looks autumn-like. I love that you can put them out now, and leave them out until it is time to set out your Christmas tree. I also got Avery's Halloween costume this week, after much debate, I think I have settled on a kitty-kat. Avery seems to like it. I got it at gymboree, Brian thinks it looks more like a ballerina, than an actual cat, but I said that's ok, she likes that too! Her meow is the cutest thing....it kind of sounds like an injured cat, but you get the point.
Anyways, we had a very busy, but fun weekend. On Saturday, we celebrated two birthdays, Colter's 2nd birthday, and Hayden's 1st birthday. Here are some pics of Colter's party. It was held at the Seven Acre Wood in Conroe. What a fun place for kiddos to run and play!

A housekeeper is employed in either domestic or commercial service. He performs basic upkeep including but not limited to house or office cleaning, laundry and cooking. He assures that a home or facility is tidy and sanitary and has all the supplies needed to run smoothly.
Job Responsibilities
A head housekeeper supervises a team of domestic professionals including housekeepers, maids and chambermaids. She schedules the staff, administers performance evaluations and terminates employees when necessary. Cleaning duties include sweeping, mopping, dusting, ironing, laundry, making beds, vacuuming and washing windows. She also ensures that her facility remains in compliance with Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
Job Opportunities
Head housekeepers may find employment with cleaning companies, with private residences and in hospitality companies. Additionally, head housekeepers are employed by property management firms. A candidate seeking this type of employment can apply directly to the firm, residence or hotel for which he would like to work. Aside from newspaper classifieds and online resources, professional organisations such as the International Executive Housekeeper Association provide both resources and networking opportunities for active job seekers. He may also find success using the services of an employment agency that specialises in the placement of domestic and/or maintenance professionals.
Qualitative Requirements
A successful candidate for a head housekeeper role must be comfortable delegating and enforcing responsibilities to her direct reports. She must be able to lift heavy objects. She may be required o kneel, stoop or stand for long periods of time, and must have a thorough knowledge of all types of cleaning and sanitation methods and equipment. She must be able to work around chemicals. Most of all, she must provide excellent client service.
Educational Requirements
To become a head housekeeper, the successful candidate should ideally possess a high school diploma or equivalent, though this is not required. She must also understand the proper methods used for cleaning and caring for sensitive materials and objects. Many employers prefer head housekeepers roles to have prior experience in domestic or building maintenance service. Management experience is a plus.
Average Compensation
According to Salary.com, in 2009 the average housekeeper working in the United States of America earns an annual base salary of £13,777. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates the employment of building cleaning workers to increase by 14 per cent within the decade of 2006 through 2016.

Bush Gardens on a dime
Giddy Up!
Noah getting readay for a 3D movie
On saturday we went to bush gardens which is only a half hour drive from our home in Hampton. We got free parking from charlotte and free tickets from being military dependants! The kids had alot of fun. We fed them luch before we left and the only thing that I bought was kettle corn for 5.44! Who would have thought you could take 3 kids to bush gardens for the day and only spend 5.44! God is good and gives us handfuls of grace on purpose! however only one bag of kettle corn caused an uproar with christian and charlly who both wanted to hold the bag themselves.

For Immediate Release
Bill Wolfe (609) 397-4861; Kirsten Stade (202) 265-7337
Lawsuit to Uncover Toxic History of New Jersey
U.S. EPA Will Not Release Hazardous Ratings for Pompton Lakes and Other Sites
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is wrongfully withholding hazardous ratings it has conducted at toxic sites throughout New Jersey, according to a federal lawsuit filed today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). The ratings gauge the sites' level of toxicity, human exposure and contamination pathways through air, soil and water.
The suit filed today in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia arose out of EPA's failure to disclose its Hazardous Rating System scores for one of New Jersey's most troubled toxic sites – the old E.I. DuPont De Nemours & Company armament factory at Pompton Lakes. The agency has rebuffed past requests for these scores based upon a 1991 internal directive. According to EPA, these ratings both factor into whether to list a site under Superfund, which confers a higher clean-up priority, more funding options and citizen oversight, and also on how best to address the relative risks posed at each site.
PEER has asked for these hazardous rating scores for not only Pompton Lakes but for all other New Jersey sites not listed as national Superfund cleanup sites – a list of approximately 70 of the most contaminated locations in the state. EPA sat on the request past the deadline mandated in the Freedom of Information Act, which serves as the basis for the PEER suit.
"By failing to disclose these hazardous ratings, EPA keeps the public in the dark about risks in their communities and frustrates their efforts to hold polluters and government accountable," stated New Jersey PEER Director Bill Wolfe. "People should be alerted about vapor intrusion into their homes. Keeping these scores secret makes EPA part of the problem and impedes a solution by shielding industrial polluters from public oversight from affected communities and the media."
New Jersey has the most Superfund sites in the country (144) but could have even more if the Hazardous Rating System scores were the dispositive benchmarks for Superfund listing. Many sites in New Jersey pose risks equal to or greater than Superfund-listed sites, yet these uncontrolled sites (such as Pompton Lakes, where clean-up has stumbled along for more than 20 years) remain in regulatory limbo. Publication of all Hazardous Ranking System scores would enable apples-to-apples comparisons which, in turn, would help prioritize sites for clean-up and target responsible parties.
"EPA has taken the stance that these Hazardous System Rating scores do not have to be disclosed on the grounds that they constitute 'pre-decisional' policy recommendations. Yet, numbers are not policy recommendations – they are factual statements which are considered public records under the Freedom of Information Act," said PEER Counsel Kathryn Douglass who drafted the complaint. "Moreover, we are well beyond the pre-decisional stage as EPA long ago made the decision to let these sites languish."
The U.S. Justice Department, representing EPA, has 30 days to file an answer to the PEER suit.
"The Obama administration said it was going to be transparent," Wolfe added. "Here is an opportunity to reverse a 20-year secrecy policy so that communities can see what EPA knows about toxic conditions in our own backyards."

So tonight a boy Told Me He Loved Me. Capital letters for the significance of the event. It was at a dance this evening, this would have been absolutely awesome if, the boy in question, had not been 7 and on a chocolate high. Humph... I don't think we'll count that one. On the plus side I did get to dance with some guys more my type and a little closer to my age, and pretty cute. However do remember the Rasputin Theory messes with my fit radar at times.... but they were still quite cute!
Oh my god. I just realised I haven't told you about the Rasputin Theory. (just trawled through my blog to try and check I wasn't repeating myself. This is pretty darn epic. Are you holding on tight? This is going to be a bumpy ride.
Right, The Rasputin Theory. (Capital Letters for Significance, remember)
Basically you need a girl half crazed by being surrounded by unfit boys that are immature and that she has known all her life and still doesn't like like despite the fact they've grown a little - really they're just not fit and a poor sample of the male specimens she knows are out there but just aren't around her in her reach. Preferably a small village/town works well for this, actually stay with village because at least in a town you have more than 200 inhabitants which makes it a little more likely they might produce at least one decent specimen..... if not there are probably more frequent buses in order for said crazed girl to get out of horrible ugly mean small town. unlike in the village where she is stuck for months on end.
Anyway said girl becomes desperate for males who are just slightly good looking or at the most extreme just not the boys from her village/town. This desperation means that guys who in normal circumstances and settlements would be considered not extremely fit or desirable become jackpots and gold in said girls' mind. To sum up less fit boys become extremely fit to crazed girls because she has been surrounded by nincompoop boys for her whole life *please note nincompoop boys may be very nice but they are not droolworthy or dateworthy in most occasions*
|Russian Man
This is The Rasputin Theory because Rasputin was a Russian monk who all the Russian lady courtiers loved and swooned over. This could be because
a) the majority of men were either way hairier than Rasputin or had not got as fine beards (who knew whether hair did or did not rock the womens boats back in those days!)
b) he had the world's largest nob, I would include a photo but it is really grotesque, and the girls liked that
c) he wore robes (Dresses) easy access ;)
Anyway what I'm trying to say is Rasputin really isn't that good looking but the ladies loved him so the others must have been worse, they didn't have Rasputins smooth talking and bushy beard......
Hope you like the Rasputin theory! I do!

The Summer Season is coming to an end and it's time to regroup and gear up for the Fall-Winter Seasons. What does this mean for our hair care? In the beginning of the Spring-Summer Season, we tend to gravitate towards lighter and more "beachy" colors. During the season our hair is than exposed to sun, salt water, chlorine and many other environmental elements. In order to move forward into Fall-Winter Shades, we first have to address the issues at hand. Talk to your hair care professional about treatments such as a Conditioning or Protein Treatment ($25.+) which will re-moisturize and add much needed strength back to the hair. Depending on your individual needs, these treatments will prep the hair for the seasonal color change. Even a good hair cut maybe just what the doctor ordered to refresh your hair.
Some suggestions might be to deepen or richen the color. As tans are fading, we need a little more color around our faces. Another suggestions maybe to soften the hair to a more natural look or maybe a beautiful fall red. You may want a beautiful chocolate brown or for the more adventurous at heart, some pastel colored pieces or a high fashion red could be just the ticket. It is a great time to schedule a consultation with your hair care professional about possibilities and how to best prep the hair for the coming season. When dealing with the abuse from sun, fun, heat and environmental damage it is important to communicate with your colorists or stylist so that they can book your appointment accordingly so that they have time to address your specific needs. At Suede Salon Spa and Body Complimentary Color Consultations are always available. Call 856-985-0700 to learn about what's best for you.Jackie Manzo

I'm not quite sure if this is possible in MediaWiki.
I've got several categories, each containing a few pages. If you open a category page you'll see the contents of the category that usualy consists of these three parts:
- A user defined text (which can be edited by using the edit link).
- All subcategories that are attached to this category.
- All pages that are attached to this category.
My goal is to create a page that includes at least part #3 of several categories. A page that shows me all page names that are attached to multiple categories of my choosing, grouped by their category.
My first approach was to use the standard transclude syntax of MediaWiki:
Category A contains these pages: {{:Category:A}} Category B contains these pages: {{:Category:B}} Category C contains these pages: {{:Category:C}} ...
Unfortunatly, this only transcluded part #1 of a category: the user defined text. The page name listing was missing.
My second idea was to have a look at the parser functions. Perhaps there are some functions that offer enumerating through the pages of a category. But I didn't find any.
Perhaps there is a MediaWiki extension out there...
Is there a clever way to realize this?

Upon reading about Mr. Pickles' letter to Muslim leaders and on hearing how Isis has threatened to kill two of Japan's citizens, I thought it would be apt to revisit last week's discussion on the Charlie Hebdo shootings by extrapolating that discussion into a new post about the increasing pressure on the Muslim community.
To start with, let's address Mr. Pickles, a man who has taken it upon himself to address the Islamic community on behalf of Britain, asking them to do more to help in preventing radicalization. The problem I have here is that Mr. Pickles' patronizing letter has been addressed to the Muslim community and leaders, whom he implies has had a direct responsibility in allowing hate-preachers access to large audiences, some of these people having been manipulated into becoming radicalized, and the issue is that Pickles has pointed the finger at Islam as though it is beneath Britain.
I'm not sure, but did Pickles write a letter to Christian leaders after the seemingly endless stories surrounding child abuse among Christian vicars and preachers? I don't remember hearing about one. The issue is that Muslim communities are being vilified because those committing the atrocities claim to be doing so in the name of Islam. Of course if you ask the average Muslim they repudiate the actions of these people, and refuse to accept that this is anything to do with the Muslim faith, because it quite simply isn't.
Mr. Pickles' letter, right or wrong, which it was most certainly wrong, was irresponsible, it has created a clear divide and has pretty much blamed the Muslim community for allowing this to happen, telling the community politely to sort out its act. What does this do? Incite the growing prejudices towards anyone who is different within our country? Yes, but not only this, it gives rise to people who are willing to voice their views about immigration and, in particular, Muslim presence within Britain.
The letter seems to distance Britain from the recent atrocities by saying how Muslim preachers can encourage Muslims in telling them how Islam can become a part of British identity. It is Britain's responsibility to encourage a diverse range of religious views in its effort to support freedom of speech, but the letter seems to imply that it is important for Muslim beliefs to be inherently British in order for the religion to work. I'm not defending the atrocities, far from it, but by saying what he has said he has managed to create a rift where it is seemingly now okay to separate Muslim heritage from Britain's culture, rather than encouraging an amalgamation of the two.
The problem of religious radicalization is something that the whole country has to deal with, any form of terrorism is, in my opinion, an innate dissatisfaction with the society as it currently is. Society shouldn't change for the minority but, in general, there has been an ever-growing detachment and lack of belief in the current political and economical system. Terrorism isn't purely down to the system we live in but there does seem to be a lack of compassion and I think that economical gain can sometimes distort the morals behind wars and invasions, and this in turn has an effect on normal people who aren't involved - encouraging prejudice and angst towards a set group of people.
I think the next year will be very telling on the implications of the vilification of Muslim people, and I fear that prejudice will grow into discrimination and discrimination may grow into something far worse. If you'd like to offer your input into what is a very heavily opinionated topic, please comment below and I'll get back to you on your thoughts. Thanks for reading, it really is appreciated.

"Born at the limit and open for everything..." - on "Adrenalin", OST+FRONT are pushing the boundaries more than ever before. Mixed and mastered in the renowned Fascination Street Studios in Sweden (Amon Amarth, At The Gates, Arch Enemy, Kreator… to name but a few), the album is sporting a compact sound that perfectly balances the alternating bursts of melodic pomp and relentless aggression, fun and brutality and the juxtaposition of fragility and "in your face"-moments. Yet again, OST+FRONT delight in tearing down all sorts of lyrical and musical conventions and enjoy wallowing in all sorts of thinkable and unthinkable extremes that the human existence has to offer: be it adrenalin rushes, delusions of grandeur, orgies of promiscuity on the dance floor, or the heavily underrated pleasures of geronto-eroticism … the Berliners tackle all these themes with shameless aggression in raw anthemic hit tunes. The steamhammer-Metal-foundation coupled with strong melodies which is at the heart of every OST+FRONT song is expanded with all sorts of genre-defying extras that follow only one motto: anything goes! Beer-tent-polka meets Techno meets Metal, German New Wave is melded into Neue Deutsche Härte, symphonic choirs and orchestral finesse meet Punk Rock or Old School Heavy Metal sounds but all of these diversities really only serve as a clever buildup for the next aggressive broadside. In "10 Jahre OST+FRONT" (= 10 years of OST+FRONT), Herrmann and his Conquerors unashamedly revel in self-praise and the love for their fans. And why? Because they can! And even though practically every band will call their latest release the crown of everything they have created thus far, in this case there is not much more to say: "Adrenalin" really is the strongest behemoth of an album that OST+FRONT have ever created.

Yu Darvish's tweet adds another layer of mystery to his free agency
The best source for Yu Darvish news this winter continues to be Yu Darvish himself.
The free agent right-hander was quick to shoot down reports of a deal with the Chicago Cubs in December, calling the report "fake news" in an amusing tweet. Now he's putting on his reporter's hat again, this time responding to reports that he'd narrowed the list of teams he was considering down to five with a tweet that piqued everyone's interest.
Yu Darvish has reportedly narrowed down his potential landing sports to #Rangers, #Yankees, #Cubs, #Astros and #Twins, per @JeffWilson_FWST.
— Max Wildstein (@MaxWildstein) January 10, 2018
I know one more team is in. https://t.co/exxubGP7Qo
— ダルビッシュ有(Yu Darvish) (@faridyu) January 11, 2018
Darvish's tweet seemingly confirms that the Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, New York Yankees, Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs are still in the mix. But the kicker here is that Darvish is also dangling the carrot of a mystery team.
After the initial report, we ranked the best landing spots for Darvish among the teams included in said report. In that, we noted that it was interesting but not surprising that the Dodgers were not among the reported teams given Darvish's struggles for them in the postseason. Well, all things considered, they would probably still be the team that makes the most sense in this situation, especially considering the process they went through to get Darvish. Any other team emerging would be the true definition of a mystery team.
Given the lack of action or real drama since the Giancarlo Stanton and Shohei Ohtani moves went down in early December, we certainly welcome the possibility. The Hot Stove needs some sort of jolt to get us buzzing again. No disrespect to Jay Bruce, his signing with the Mets on Wednesday probably isn't it.
Credit Yu Darvish, the reporter. For now anyway, he's managed to get us on the edge of our seats while we wait to see where Yu Darvish, the pitcher, ends up.

Harrington opens new account
Padraig Harrington has signed a megabucks deal with Bank of Ireland - and landed precious rugby tickets.
The Dubliner has signed up for three years and joins Leinster Rugby, the GAA and the Irish Cricket League on the bank's list of partners.
Harrington joked: "I should be able to get tickets to a few rugby matches and a few other matches too."
But the world No 12 refused to reveal how much he was getting paid.
He said: "It is obviously a substantial figure."
Bonuses for achieving goals have been written into the contract.
Bank of Ireland's Tom Hayes said: "I personally believe that a major is not that far away for Padraig."

Reserve Your Discovery Session
If you aren't sure that partnering with a coach is the right next step for you, that's okay.
If you aren't sure that I'm the right coach for you to partner with, that's okay too.
And, if you're sure that you need a coach, you're ready for a coach, and you'd like for me to be that coach – but you aren't sure what structure of coaching will best serve you now, well, that's perfectly normal.
We'll begin our relationship by figuring all that out.
In fact, you can schedule a Discovery Session right now, because that's the first step to figuring out your next step.
The Discovery Session is a no-cost, no-catch telephone call – usually about 30 minutes – for you and I to explore where you are, where you want to be, any barriers that you see in front of you, and the best plan of action to get them out of your way.
What can you expect?
- You can expect that I will ask a lot of questions, and listen to your answers.
- You can expect that I will make suggestions, which you are free to take or disregard.
- You can expect that one of those suggestions may be to start a coaching program, with me or with someone I recommend.
So, if you want to explore what doors coaching might open for you, or what brick walls it might bring down, go ahead and reserve your Discovery Session with me now.
Remember that a Discovery Session isn't the same as a Coaching Session, but it isn't uncommon for me to give you a little coaching if you're open to it. The purpose of the Discovery Session is to explore your Desires, Objectives, Strategies, and Barriers and determine your optimal Opportunities and Solutions.
I'm looking forward to talking with you!

Inner-city crawling, that unplanned exploration of the unknown, just got all the more high tech with the impending launch of PeepShow AR, a smartphone app which uses cutting-edge augmented reality technology to offer curated tours of Sydney's Surry Hills and Darlinghurst areas through the eyes of the artists and creatives who live and play within the 2010 postcode.
There are already 270 plus points of interest to discover through the app, which officially launches from Heffron Hall on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 October, including cultural industries, creative retail spaces, art galleries, public art, historical points of interest including Razor and Queer history, unique bars, and even the famous Crown Street Dog. Yes, we agree. Awesome (reality).

Brown's joint campaign manager and a former minister
He was seen as a youthful star until he lost his seat of Shipley to the Tories at the last general election. The 35-year-old was appointed as director of the New Local Government Network - a Blairite thinktank - but has made little secret of his desire to return to parliament. According to his statement last night, he did not know of David Abrahams until the businessman rang him in May, suggesting he contact Janet Kidd who wanted to donate to Brown's campaign. He rang Kidd, who then sent an "unprompted" donation for £5,000. Leslie said he checked that she was a permissible donor but tore up the cheque because no one in the campaign knew her. He insisted he did not know of Abrahams's donations to Labour or his use of Kidd and others as proxies for these gifts.
Jon Mendelsohn
Brown's chief fundraiser
Learned of the secret donations from Abrahams after taking over as general election fundraiser in early September, when he began enquiring about donors whose names he did not recognise - such as Kidd and Raymond Ruddick, another proxy for Abrahams. He said he was unhappy with the arrangement despite accepting Watt's insistence that the system was lawful. He said in a statement he chose not to tell the leadership, but decided to tell Abrahams that it was unacceptable. Questions have been raised about the warm letter he sent to the businessman last week. He has insisted he wanted to tell Abrahams that his method of contribution was unacceptable. He said the businessman had declined a previous request for a meeting, probably because of their "personal history of disagreements".
Jack Dromey
Labour treasurer
Harriet Harman's husband is in the firing line again. He insists he knew nothing of the Abrahams deal, just as he was ignorant of the loans given by millionaires later nominated for honours under Tony Blair that sparked the cash-for-honours inquiry. Dromey exploded during a private meeting of Labour officials on Wednesday amid suspicion that he is being set up.
Lady Gale, the treasurer of Harman's campaign, said at the end of her statement last night: "The Harriet Harman for deputy campaign was not put in touch with Janet Kidd by Jack Dromey." That was seen as a pointed disclaimer of Dromey's role. His public and personal lives continue to collide.
Peter Watt
Former general secretary of the Labour party
His resignation on Monday spelt disaster for the government. Labour's top official had originally been put in charge of the Abrahams inquiry. But 48 hours later he admitted knowing of Abrahams's middlemen arrangement but said he thought it was legal. Others are sceptical that a former compliance officer of the Labour party could be so ignorant of the rules of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendum Act that was passed in 2000 by a Labour government to clean up politics. Labour's national executive committee said Watt kept them in the dark. But Brown's chief fundraiser, Jon Mendelsohn admitted knowing about the arrangement with Abrahams for two months before it was made public. Who else was told?
Lady Jay
Former leader of the Lords
Supporter of Hilary Benn, who contested Labour's deputy leadership, ultimately won by Harriet Harman. She is daughter of former Labour prime minister James Callaghan. Jay told Benn that David Abrahams, whom she had met at events for Labour's "£1,000 club" of donors, wanted to make a donation to him, but without publicity. She suspected that was because Abrahams wanted to make donations to other deputy leadership campaigns.
Benn refused to take a donation in this form and Abrahams subsequently decided to give money in his own name to Benn. Jay has said she had no knowledge of Abrahams's big-money donations to the Labour party but has yet to give a full version of her contact with him. It is still unclear whether she had any contact with the Harman camp.

The user can now use faces and bodies from other assembly occurrences directly when executing Boolean operations for the "Tool" step such as Union, Subtract, Intersect, and Split.
This enhancement is intended to remove the Inter-Part Copy step during a synchronous in-place activated modeling operation. Not having to create Inter-Part copies accelerates the design process and avoids the necessity of having to save the Inter-Part copies in the PathFinder.
Let's have a look at the following example:
In this example, I have raised the motor up to show that we need to place some cutouts and holes in the underlying plate.
First, I will edit into the Base Plate part from within the assembly. Make sure that the Hide Previous Level command is turned off in the Part environment.
Next, I select the Boolean Subtract command from
the Solids group in the Home tab.
You are prompted to select the target bodies for the Boolean. In this example, I select the base plate part.
You are then prompted to identify the tool bodies. In this example, I select the motor and the four mounting bolts, and accept the selection.

Van Halen Split With Label, Sign New Deal?
Van Halen may have had three different singers throughout their illustrious 35-year career, but the one business constant was their record label. The band was signed to Warner Bros. for its entire career but industry insiders at Hits Daily Double are reporting that the band has split with Warner after three decades of rock and has partnered with Sony by signing a brand new deal with Columbia Records. There has been no confirmation on this rumor yet.
VH fans are more than well aware of the fact that the band has recorded a new studio album with original singer David Lee Roth. It marks the band's first album with DLR at the vocal helm in 27 years. A swirl of rumors surrounded the album over the past few weeks. The latest speculation is that album is due out sometime in 2012. The new platter has reportedly been recorded, with producer Ross Hogarth telling Ultimate-Guitar earlier this summer that "it's the killing side of Van Halen at the top of their game again with Diamond Dave and the band is on fire."
The band has been relatively silent as the rumors and speculation continue to mount.

The Decade of Decision
We are now in the 1980s—the decade of decision.
Every decade is a decade of decision in one way or another, but this one is different because it involves the whole world and because it involves the life and death of civilization.
It was possible in past periods of history for a particular civilization to decline while others remained flourishing. When western Europe was in the "Dark Age" between A.D. 500 and 1000, southeastern Europe, northern Africa, and southern Asia were doing very well.
And it was possible for the civilization that did decline to recover and move even higher than before, as western Europe began to do after A.D. 1000.
This may not be possible now. Thanks to the steady advance of science and technology, the world has become so small that it is now a single economic unit with the welfare of each advanced portion of it dependent on all the rest.
Thanks to the steady advance of science and technology, the stakes are now so high, the requirement for material resources and energy so intense, the numbers of people and the intricacy of the environment in which they live so great, that any stumble could mean so huge a smash as to make recovery impossible.
And, thanks to the steady advance of science and technology, the means for destruction in the hands of human beings is so great that the world could be ultimately devastated for thousands of years to come if we were to try to fight a war with all the power at our disposal.
But, then, thanks also to the steady advance of science and technology, there are possible solutions ahead if we care to take advantage of them.

If you have overactive bladder, you're in good company: some estimates say more than 30 million Americans have OAB symptoms. That includes about one in six adults over age 40. So look around you. It may not show, but there are plenty of other people from all walks of life who understand what you're going through.
People with OAB yearn to take greater control of their bladder, instead of feeling like its constant demands for hurried trips to the bathroom are running their lives.
For the vast majority, that goal can be achieved. You don't have to resign yourself to living with uncontrolled symptoms. OAB is not inevitable, and it is not a normal part of aging. Knowing what to do—and what not to do—can help you join millions of others who successfully manage overactive bladder symptoms and enjoy rich, active lives.
Dos and Don'ts
Do find out what's going on. Nerve damage related to diabetes is only one of many possible causes of overactive bladder. On the other hand, not everyone who urinates frequently has overactive bladder. Make sure your doctor is thorough in diagnosing the cause of your symptoms.
Don't think you just have to live with it. Team up with your doctor to find effective treatments including special exercises, lifestyle changes, and prescription medicines. OAB may not be an easy topic to talk with your doctor about, but having that talk—in detail—is the essential first step toward successful treatment.
Do know your triggers. Many different foods and beverages may irritate the bladder or urinary tract in some people and make OAB symptoms worse. Among the culprits: foods like tomatoes and oranges, caffeine in drinks or chocolate, alcohol, carbonated beverages, spicy foods, sweeteners, onions, many fruits, aged cheese, sour cream, and many processed foods. Everyone reacts to foods differently. Bottom line: trial and error can help you learn which foods you need to cut back on or eliminate from your diet.
Don't cut down on water. If you can't stop urinating, you may think it's a good idea to drink less so you'll produce less urine. But cutting back on water could make OAB symptoms worse. You'll produce more concentrated urine that may irritate your bladder and provoke more runs to the bathroom. Get most of your water during the day, not the evening, so you won't have to get up as often overnight to use the bathroom.
Do keep taking your OAB medicine. If your doctor writes a prescription for OAB medicine, don't stop taking it or skip doses if your symptoms improve. To keep OAB under control, keep taking your medicine until your doctor says otherwise. Talk with your doctor about how well it's working so your dosage or medicine can be changed if necessary.
Don't overlook other drugs' OAB side effects. You may be taking other medicines that could worsen bladder problems. For example, some blood pressure drugs may increase urine output, and some sleeping pills could make it hard to tell when your bladder is full. Ask your doctor if any medicine or supplement you are taking—including over-the-counter remedies—could be to blame for your symptoms.
Don't rush to surgery. There are a number of different surgical procedures to choose from for overactive bladder. And the idea of a one-time fix may seem appealing. But surgery isn't always effective, and all surgery comes with risks. Doctors generally recommend surgery only as a last resort if simpler treatments have failed.
Don't be a hermit. Poorly controlled OAB can be awkward or embarrassing in social situations, but it's essential to your well-being to avoid isolating yourself. We all need to regularly spend time with family, friends, and favorite activities.
By putting these tips to work, you can get back to doing the things you enjoy with the people you care most about.

WBA: Monson shutout sends Prescott to state
RIB LAKE—The Prescott Pirates were excited, but there was no pandemonium.
There was no big team picture.
Instead, catcher Brandon Voelker told the team that their next game would be against Osseo in the WBA quarterfinals Saturday, Aug. 19 at 1:30 p.m. in Viroqua.
The Pirates had just defeated Whitehall, 4-0, to advance out of the Rib Lake sectional of the WBA playoffs. The day before, they earned a 5-1 victory over Interwald.
Prescott didn't have its best hitting performances of the year, but it got the job done.
"We're pretty excited right now," player-manager Michael Lytle said. "Today was a good test for us."
The test Lytle was referring to was Whitehall pitcher Alex Byum, whose fastball velocity was sitting in the mid-80s. Byum also located both a slider and a curveball at times, which gave Prescott fits throughout the game.
As good as Byum was at times, Prescott lefty Eric Monson was better.
Monson was only ever in trouble once; right after Michael Brookshaw drove in Peter Brookshaw to give Prescott a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Monson gave up a leadoff double and then gave up a Texas leaguer into right field to put runners on the corners with one out.
He took a deep breath and went to his best pitch: the changeup.
"It was working today," Monson said. "My changeup is usually my most consistent pitch, so I can kind of lean on that.
"I had kind of been getting beat (in that inning) by my fastball, so we decided to kind of start pitching backwards. Starting them with soft stuff and then finishing with some harder stuff."
It worked.
Monson struck out the five-hitter, retired the next batter on a tapper back to the mound and catcher Brandon Voelker made a catch pinning the ball between his glove and chest protector as he fell into the chain-link fence to end the inning.
Crisis averted.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Prescott added an insurance run when they ran a play with runners on first and third base to cause misdirection. One Prescott fan on the hill behind the dugout called it "a high school play."
That's exactly what it was, but before it was executed, Voelker called time as soon as he realized the Pirates had a first-and-third situation and ran to the first-base coach's box.
Voelker said it was a play that Prescott had run before. Luke Murphy took off from first base when the catcher caught the ball, a delayed steal. Whitehall threw to the second baseman who was well in front of the baseline ready for Evan Bayer, the runner on third base, to take off for home. Bayer didn't go right away.
Instead of taking second base, which was available to Murphy, he lingered in no-man's land until the Wolves decided to partake in the rundown.
That's where Voelker coaching first base came into play.
"He knew what to do with the delayed steal," Voelker said. "But he asked me if he should stay in the rundown—obviously if they're going to completely give you second base, you take it."
The second baseman chased Murphy back toward first base before flipping to a left-handed throwing first baseman. The first baseman looked at Bayer and when he looked away Bayer took off for home. The first baseman stumbled and made an errant, late throw to the plate.
"We just found ways to score runs," Lytle said. "He was a very good pitcher, but we just kept having good at bats and enough of our guys started to adjust."
Prescott took a 2-0 lead, which must have felt like a 5-0 lead the way Monson's changeup was disappearing.
"It's probably dropping 2 or 3 inches as its crossing the plate," Lytle said. "Mons is a very dangerous pitcher and we're lucky to have him."

The Eagles play in the WBA opener Friday, Aug.18 at 6:30 p.m.
Walczak, River Falls eliminated
Spring Valley lefty Brandon Walczak was added to the Fighting Fish roster for their playoff run.
Walczak was thrown into a bases loaded situation in the ninth inning against Sparta with River Falls leading, 8-3.
He induced a pop out, gave up a single, a walk and then was pulled with the score still 8-5.
The next pitcher entered and surrendered a first-pitch, walk-off grand slam to give Sparta an 9-8 victory.

Write me a story
Reads: 6578 | Likes: 29 | Shelves: 7 | Comments: 24
Poem by: jaylisbeth
Write me a story where I am your queen,
Write me a sonnet like I've never seen.
Write me a song you'll sing just for me,
Write me the fairy tale where I want to be.
Tell me the things that I want to hear,
Darling, your words protect me from fear.
Make me essential like a cool summer rain,
Write me a story where I am your main.
Seduce me and woo me; your ways are divine,
My heart is all yours and your soul is all mine.
What's the worst that can happen by taking this leap?
I never imagined falling this deep.
You are my spectrum and downfall, indeed,
My blanket, my comfort in my hour of need.
Begin our own story and I'll finish the rest,
We'll write it forever until it's the best.

It's such a beautiful and lovely poem.
I love the control of the words and the emotion here. You can feel the passion just under the surface, but you express it in elegant rhythm. Lovely work!
It's written my Princess, your story, 'tis true; Success, charm, & glory, they all speak of you!
Your song is your life & the beauty you share... With each loving word of your poetry rare!
To know you, & read you, is joy in a box... You're deep, & you're witty, as clever as fox!
Your beautiful words ARE your life's sonnet... Adorning your head, make a gorgeous bonnet!!
I really don't know what your troubled heart seeks... All that I know, is the beauty it speaks!

I like your choice of words here there put together well very nice .
You are showing that you are a real poetess. The rhyming is great; and the feelings within comes shining through. A great poem indeed!
Love the rhythm and the last stanza. Well done! :)
Yet another beautiful poem by you, Lis. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not sure if I already have commented, But this is absolutely beautiful. Amazing work.
love it love it love it, I envy you girl, the way you write poetry, and now your short stories to boot : ) Keep it coming!! : )
This is the most beautiful thing ever. It feels you are the spirit of Juliet, and have just wrote this for her Romeo. Ive said it a few times, but you are the romantic, and I am the sinner. God we sound like Mulder and Scully don't we lol. This poem is that bird flying in the air with a message into the heart of the person they love. I feel that you may have invented the word 'love' because I don't see it expressed this beautifully since Shakespeare. I'm not the romance person, but true love does deserve a story written on them. Lisbeth you are a dream, and you and your heart could be the most beautiful story ever told. Stunning piece of romantic poetry, and life should write you a story that you deserve :)

[dropcap]U[/dropcap]nderwriting opportunities for specific projects are for each of our programs, including The Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society, Inc.; The William Faulkner Creative Writing Competition; The Double Dealer Redux; and Words & Music: A Literary Feast In New Orleans.
To become a patron and member of The Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society, Inc. CLICK HERE!
[box]Educational Outreach[/box]
The Society's overall mission is to preserve and enhance American storytelling traditions and to assist developing writers to follow in the footsteps of important novelists who have brought enormous prestige to their regions. One of the Society's principal goals from the beginning has been to offer free educational resources and outreach programs, especially to students of writing and their teachers. In each issue of The Double Dealer Redux, for instance, a feature is devoted to an interview with an accomplished, published writer. Each interview focuses on the author's advice to developing writers and is accompanied by background on the author, an excerpt from that author's work and a list of resources for writers. These features are available to school teachers as lesson plan packages from the Society. Sponsors are required to fund wider distribution of the materials.
The Society sponsors appearances by authors at specific educational institutions Several years ago we instituted a master class lecture series for student writers and teachers. The program takes place on September 25th, Mr. Faulkner's actual birthday, at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre. Last year, the master class, underwritten by Mr. and Mrs. Louis St. Martin of Houma, Louisiana, featured Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Olen Butler and Edgar winner Julie Smith, with columnist and cookbook author Lolis Eric Elie as master of ceremonies. This year, John Gregory Brown, winner of the Steinbeck Prize, and A. J. Verdelle, who was shortlisted for the Pen/Faulkner Award for her first novel, will join hands with Elie.
[box]Priority For The Future[/box]
The Society seeks a sponsor or sponsors to make single-year or three-year commitments to underwrite educational outreach projects, such as master classes for student writers; wider distribution of individual lesson plan packages created for each issue of The Double Dealer Redux; compiling a storytelling curriculum guide for wide distribution.
[box]Sponsorship Opportunities/One-Time[/box]
- For $1,000, a donor may underwrite a master class for a specific school conducted by a noted author.
- For $2,500, a patron may sponsor the master class for high school students of creative writing at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre to celebrate Mr. Faulkner's birthday. The event will qualify as a field trip. New Orleans Public School students are bussed to the theater. During intermission, birthday cake and punch is served. The master class sessions have been a big success with teachers and students. The theatre is full. With sufficient funding, we will expand the lecture series to multiple sessions.
- For $2,500, a donor may also underwrite two interns for one school term. Two editor/writer trainees will be selected on the basis of merit from nominees submitted by creative writing teachers. Interns will work with The Double Dealer Redux and be graded for school credit. Interns must be computer trained. They will learn principles and application of editorial writing, critical reviews, copy editing, graphics and desktop publishing.
- For $2,500, a donor may guarantee a creative writing feature in The Double Dealer Redux and its reprint and distribution as a lesson plan for creative writing classes.
- For $5,000, a donor may underwrite duplication and distribution of the video to teachers.
- For $10,000, a donor may underwrite an educational video on storytelling.
[box]Happy Birthday, Mr. Faulkner![/box]
The Society's salute to great writers, past and present, was conceived as both an annual fundraiser and as a means of calling national attention to New Orleans as an important intellectual destination. As a fund-raiser, the event is as successful as can be expected. The Society nets an average of $20,000 after all expenses. It would be difficult to change the level of earnings on this fund-raiser because of the limitations of the preferred venue for the event, Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre, which seats 450; and because it is not just a party but is an intellectual salute to writing, writers and storytellers. The literary significance of the Society would be lost, we fear, in a larger, purely social event without a staged program. Because such events already are plentiful, the Society seeks to make its annual birthday bash memorable for the winners of the William Faulkner Creative Writing Competition by recognizing them in the ambience of a reasonably-sized audience of authors and patrons genuinely interested in literature and the art of storytelling. Therefore, tickets are offered first to our members. Following presentation of gold medals to competition winners, there is a program of staged readings from good literature. This year, the Faulkner Society will salute both Faulkner and Walker Percy with readings by nationally respected actors, such as Gerald McRaney and Delta Burke.
[box]Birthday Sponsorship Opportunities[/box]
As this is our only fund-raiser during the year, we wish to maximize the revenues from this event without increasing the size of the total audience. As a result, several sponsorship opportunities have been established for donors interested in the society's work.
- For $5,000 each year, a donor may become the overall sponsor of Happy Birthday, Mr. Faulkner!, the annual birthday gala, which could be especially advantageous for a corporation with a consumer product. The Faulkner Society reserves the right to reject sponsorship offers from corporations or organizations whose products or goals do not enhance our own image or who are engaged in activities which we deem undesirable.
- For $2,000, a patron may sponsor the program for the gala birthday celebration. The patron will receive a full page of recognition in the program, either in the form of a company advertisement or a full page feature about the sponsor or an honoree of the sponsor's designation.
- For $750, a patron may purchase a full page ad in the master program for Words & Music.
[box]Additional Opportunities[/box]
An integral component of the annual birthday gala is the presentation of the winners of the Society's national literary competition. The winners are introduced to the Society onstage at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre by their judges, all successful writers. Lodging for winners is donated by one of the finest hotels in the world, The Windsor Court. We are responsible for judges' rooms, however, and transportation also is expensive, as winners and judges travel from all over the country and are provided with transport around town during their visit as well. In addition to the considerable prizes awarded, the Society also presents medals to the winners and Society mementos to the judges, prize donors and gala chairmen.
- For $2,500, a patron may sponsor plane transportation for the winners and judges. Transportation averages $2,500 each year (even with a break from the airlines). A patron who sponsors the travel budget will be recognized in the program for the Society's big birthday event and allowed to name the gift. The donor will be given substantial recognition in The Double Dealer Redux – in the guidelines/entry form – and in news releases to national and local book editors, universities and literary publications and recognition at the awards/birthday gala.
- For $1,500, a patron may underwrite the 14k gold medals presented to winners and sterling key chains given to judges and honorary chairmen each year. The donor will be honored in the program for the gala and will be privileged to name the gift in honor of a loved one, foundation, business, etc. The patron also will be recognized substantially in The Double Dealer Redux.
