This article is also available in its entirety on the Men's Fitness website here.
On a sweltering Los Angeles afternoon, Charlie Hunnam steps to the pull-up bar in a city park near Hollywood and easily whips himself above the bar into a muscle-up, a decidedly advanced move. As Hunnam powers his way through staccato sets of dips, pull-ups, push-ups, muscle-ups and variations of these strongman classics, his chiseled torso glistens and sweat cascades onto his Dickies shmants and his prized Nike Air Max runners—one of 82 pairs in his collection. He pauses for a second to stuff the bullet hanging on a thin chain around his neck into his mouth, busts another muscle-up, then somersaults around the bar before lowering himself again. Yoked gangbangers play hoops on a nearby court while Hunnam, who plays Jax Teller, a motorcycle gang member on FX's hit show Sons of Anarchy and stars in the upcoming film The Ledge, does work and sets his phaser to annihilate as he cranks the intensity. Deep in the heart of shooting the third season of Sons, Hunnam was on set until 4 a.m. the night before. But the reps pile up until he's dropped more than 100 push-ups and an equal number of dips. Training is more than something Hunnam just does to look good. "The benefit of working out is 90% mental and 10% physical," he says.
"I feel better and like I have more energy. But the mental side is an extraordinary benefit. I'm happier, more confident and more positive when I work out and I feel like I'm a better actor because of the clarity it gives me." There's no celeb trainer cheering him on, no arm piece girlfriend holding his water, nothing but him, a pull-up bar, parallel bars, and the sand underfoot. Hunnam keeps his workout gritty, hardcore, and raw. Like most guys, he works long hours—up to 15 hours a day—and gets creative to find time for his training. Sometimes he'll swim a mile, other times he'll squeeze in workouts at his house using bodyweight moves. It helps that he keeps his diet clean sticking to lean protein and natural whole foods.
Lately, he's caught the Bartendaz bug. "Bartendaz is a group of guys in Brooklyn working out on playgrounds and in parks," says Hunnam. After one of his training buddies started using Bartendaz workouts and got ultra jacked, Hunnam searched out the Bartendaz moves that inspire his park workouts on YouTube. "Working out in the gym doing the same stuff day in and day out can get boring. What keeps it fresh and fun is I just freestyle like I did today. I got to the point where I could do three muscle-ups then started adding the flips in between and creating signature stuff." From the looks of Hunnam's statue-esque physique, Bartendaz training is working for him.
After an hour of Bartending, Hunnam bounces off the sand and onto the streets of Hollywood. He strides with the same thug strut that Jax showcases on Sons but an easy smile and a warm demeanor quickly wipe away his training scowl. Born to an artist mother and a father involved in the scrap metal trade who ruled the underworld in Newcastle, England with an iron fist, Hunnam's upbringing prepared him to master outlaw psychology. Hunnam's parents separated early in his childhood and he moved with his mom and brothers to the Lake District in rural England where he got his first taste of real street violence at the hands of bullies. "I was a city kid in a country environment and I got a couple real good beatings, five or six guys just slamming me." That's when Hunnam learned to box. In short order he doled out so many asswhoopings to his would-be assailants that they feared crossing him.
England's version of Hollywood discovered Hunnam at age nine and the son of a tough guy stumbled into an acting career that has kept going strong ever since with turns on shows including the original British version of Queer as Folk. In 1999 he moved to Los Angeles and landed a role in the short lived TV seriesUndeclared before larging it with roles in Cold Mountain and 2005's Green Street Hooligans. In 2008, Hunnam began his reign in blood as the badass but thoughtful Jax on Sons, the most-watched basic cable show among men 18-49.
A few hours later Hunnam rumbles into the parking lot at a low-key cafe on his murdered-out Harley Dyna Super Glide with flat bars, souped-up engine, and loads of custom touches. His black brain bucket sitting next to him, it's tough to separate him from his Sons role until he opens his mouth and spills the sounds of a working-class British accent. To prepare to play Jax, Hunnam spent time with an outlaw motorcycle gang in Northern California. "There was a kid in that club who was exactly who I was hired to play. He was the son of a man in the motorcycle club, he'd grown up in the club, every one of his birthday parties had been thrown in the clubhouse. I wear exactly the shoes he wore, the jeans he wore. He had a very powerful impact on me. He was an amazing guy." And he was shot dead before Sons started production, hence the bullet necklace. "I wear it for him and to remember that flavor he taught me."
Off camera, Hunnam and his cast mates have become legends to both outlaw and wannabe outlaw bikers and draw huge crowds at biker runs, rallies, and other events. But celebrity, fame, and power haven't insulated Hunnam from the mean streets of Los Angeles. A few weeks back, Hunnam was sitting in his home office at 1 a.m. when he heard rustling in his house. He picked up a machete he keeps in his office and hunted until he found a robber with a towel over his hand. "He was about 5'10", 245 pounds, a beast. I pinned him to ground and said, 'Dude, I'm not going to fuck you up this time, but if you ever come near here again, literally they'll never find your body I'll cut you in so many pieces.'" Then without calling the cops, he released the crook. He never came back.
When Hunnam finishes shooting season three of Sons in a few weeks, he'll still have a full plate. He's developing a script about his father's hard knock life and Brad Pitt's Plan B production company has acquired Hunnam's script for Vlad, a biopic about Vlad the Impaler, the historical Dracula. Before he goes back to work, though, Hunnam will pack his bags and head to China where he'll study Kung Fu at the famed Shaolin Temple. "I really wanted a strong spiritual contingent to the trip and found this academy. There's four hours of silent meditation a day and eight hours of Kung Fu and weapons training. I want to switch my mind off for a while and get centered." But first he has a Sons production meeting to get to so he straps on his lad and straddles his hog, heavy metal thunder reverberating off the buildings as he roars down Beverly Blvd., indistinguishable from the outlaw he plays on TV.

In my work as a science editor I keep track of hundreds of abbreviations, most of which must be spelled out at first use. I use a prefix unlikely to appear as the start of a real word or abbreviation (xx or yy, etc.) plus the abbreviation as the Type Pilot keyword, and have to enter the complex correct expanded form only once. Then, even if I don't quite remember, I get it right. So xxfish gives "fluorescence in situ hybridization" (not "fluorescent in situ..."). xxbrdu gives bromodeoxyuridine. xxalp gives "alkaline phosphatase" and xxalt gives "alanine transaminase".
I also use TP for standard queries to authors: eg xxcute gives "AU: Please consider dropping the cute subtitle. Such jokes rarely wear well, and you would be stuck with the stale humor for the rest of your professional careers." xxerrata gives "AU, ref. 0: When a correction has been published, the erratum notice becomes a permanent part of the original reference. Thus the insertion here." (I just update "ref. 0" to the actual number.)
If I have another publisher who uses different definitions, I change the prefix (eg, xx for my main publisher, yy for alternatives; thus, yyfish gives "fluorescent in situ hybridization" instead of "fluorescence..."). THANK YOU for helping me maintain consistency and accuracy across all my work!
Word's Autocorrect is prone to corruption, is hard to update or transfer to another computer, and is available only in Word. TP works in e-mail or Excel or Open Office just as well as in Word. Best of all: TP can import phrase lists: a great advantage when starting a new project. PS: Over time, my phrase list accumulates even rare and unusual abbreviations, which saves me looking things up repeatedly. When I encounter a seemingly new acronym, I always try the xx-prefixed version, in case I have already confirmed the correct expansion. If it spells out, fine; if not, I look it up AND immediately add it to my phrase list. My work gets easier that way.

I have been using Type Pilot for a long time now. I like that it is so easy to set up.
SWO, October 2012 (We have the real name)
I am so glad with this tool.
Albert Heemeijer (from Core Quality Education), October 2012
I love Type Pilot! Because my company has a website we sell from, we often get similar questions asked to us via email. With Type Pilot I am able to have responses saved and can with just a keystroke, paste in our prepared answer and then edit it as necessary for the specific customer. Save us so much time!
Cathi Aiello, Owner, Allegro Accounting, October 2012
Type Pilot is a program that has saved me many hours and many keystrokes. I can't image living without it. If you type... Type Pilot is worth purchasing. I highly recommend it.
Mark Taflinger (from Courier-Journal), October 2012
Type pilot is a very useful "PC-app" , and since I startet to use it, - several years ago, I have "problems" using other computers. (Why do not "aag" show my emailadress ? or aaa show my name ? [had to edit to get the shortcuts show up here, - and not my email, and name ;) ]) I use it to correct typos, have shortcuts for name, email adresses, - mail adress, and so on. Have at least 70 different shortcuts , and a lot of typos-corrections. " ro " changes to " or " ( note the spaces ), " em " gives " me " , and so on.... I can fully recomend Type Pilot ! ;)
Asbjorn Aamot, October 2012
I love the program.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I have always been a big believer in "you have talent or you don't". I don't have a lot of talent. I'm kind of queen of mediocre. I can also kill any and all plants. When it comes to plants I'm a full fledged Serial Killer. Goo however, loves plants. We have a year pass to a local garden paradise and every time we go Goo and Gouda ask why our yard looks so crappy. I usually lie and blame it on soil conditions and make vague reference to the "Dust Bowl". My kids are going to be so confused when they find out that was in Oklahoma in the 1930's and not a specific condition in our backyard. The other day I stumbled onto Scott's Miracle-Gro page on Facebook, to my delight they have a plant project on their site The Gro Project.
The Toyarium project is so perfect. You will need a fish bowl, Miracle-Gro Moisture control potting soil, a few succulents, some plastic toys (dinosaurs since Goo is crazy about them), a spoon, and imagination.LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food Advance Starter Kit
Add the soil to the fish bowl, use the spoon to dig spots for the succulents, add the dinosaurs, and water. Watch them grow and impress the children!
I can't wait until Friday when I can pick up these items. If you want to impress your kids Miracle-Gro has some fabulous ideas on their Pintrest page. I've started to follow them and you should too. They have great ideas for the Newbie as well as the experienced Green thumber. fun garden projects

London: Cash-strapped Britain on Friday announced it will halt all its aid to India in 2015 and make further cuts in the annual 280 million-pound assistance to the country for the remaining three years, citing the booming Asian giant`s rising stature on the world stage.
"India is successfully developing and our own bilateral relationship has to keep up with 21st century India. It`s time to recognise India`s changing place in the world," International Development Secretary Justine Greening said, announcing the UK`s decision to end all aid to India in 2015.
British aid to India was cut last year but still it committed the UK to spending 280 million pounds annually until 2015.
Greening, who was in India recently for talks on future aid arrangements, said the government here will reduce its annual support to India over the next three years, saving around 200 million pounds ahead of the cut-off.
Her statement came a day after British Foreign Secretary William Hague held talks with External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid in Delhi.
Greening said programmes already under way would go ahead but nothing new would be approved.
Future British support for India will be limited to skills-sharing in areas like trade, investment and health and will be worth around 30 million pounds-a-year.
The move follows criticism that the government here was imposing drastic austerity measures at home while handing out a fortune in aid to "rich" developing nations.
India has become a focus of the anger because it has its own space programme and a booming economy that is growing at 8 per cent a year.
The decision will also delight Tory MPs who have attacked Prime Minister David Cameron`s commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of national income on overseas aid.
Greening said: "After reviewing the programme and holding discussions with the government of India this week, we agreed that now is the time to move to a relationship focusing on skills-sharing rather than aid....
"It is of course critical that we fulfil all the commitments we have already made and that we continue with those short-term projects already under way which are an important part of the UK and government of India`s development programme."
Officials said that during her India visit, Greening was told that the Indian government valued Britain`s "technical assistance" far more than money.
Greening said: "Having visited India I have seen first hand the tremendous progress being made."
The UK`s overall financial contribution to India since the Coalition took office in the UK is expected to total more than one billion pounds.
After 2015, the contribution of Britain`s technical expertise to development programmes in India will cost an estimated one tenth of the current total aid budget to the country.
As existing grants are phased out, the government expects to save around 200 million pounds over the next three years.
Greening`s announcement is likely to be seen as a sign that Britain intends to cut aid to wealthier nations, including those that are preparing to enter the EU, and focus instead on the poorest countries.
She told the Conservative conference last month: "We should recognise that as countries get richer, we need to be responsible about how we transition in our relationship with them from aid to trade."
The Prime Minister has pledged to spend 0.7 per cent of national income on development programmes abroad and the budget will be worth 12.6 billion pounds by 2014.
This commitment will not be affected by today`s announcement and officials said money saved from aid to India was likely to be spent on development schemes in poorer parts of the world.


text: Ok, on the Droid X, there is an FM player software. When I launch it, it says it needs a device that's plugged into the headphone port to play. I connect my headphone, relaunch, and it plays fine. I then go into the settings, and there's an option to play it thru the speakers (back of phone), it works, until as soon as I remove the headphone plug, it exit and say I need to connect the plug in to play again. Anyone else find this stupid?

A few years ago, Stone Temple Pilots reunited long enough to release a self-titled 2010 album before another Scott Weiland meltdown ended things all over again. The band filmed a couple of videos for their track "Cinnamon," deciding to to release either one, but the second of those videos recently leaked. In the clip, the wizened band members hang out with a bunch of models and outmoded appliances, and I'm guessing this is not what an actual Stone Temple Pilots party would look like. Watch it below.
(via GrungeReport)
Instant conspiracy theory: The band never wanted to make this video; they just wanted to spend a day hanging out with models on Atlantic's dime. (This is probably not the case, but I'm going with it anyway.)

Looking at some of the latest electronics, but can't quite pull the trigger on a purchase? You may want to stop by a local retailer this weekend. From May 2 to 4, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is hosting its annual Demo Days event.

Happy Days Sunflowers
by Nancy Medina
Oil on Archival Panel
Happy Days Sunflowers was my demonstration for the Trinity Arts Guild in North Texas yesterday evening, one of the oldest art clubs in the state. What an honor to paint for a group of master painters and teachers, and the nicest group of artists you could meet, including one of my favorite instructors and friends, Fran Chausse White! I named Happy Days tonight in honor of what I really think should be happening in terms of life today. Am I the only person who wonders about this new age which finds death and sadness and horror in movies, television, and film entertaining? There are not enough happy days in our lives, and I am determined to keep right on swimming against this awful tide.
I believe there is hope, and there are good people out there, doing amazing things for others for absolutely no reward or recognition whatsoever. Some of these real life stories of heroism have been shared by the tornado survivors in Missouri and Oklahoma recently. In every sadness, in real life, in every tragedy, you will see the angels among us, real people who care, and give for others. Those who make it possible to remember there are going to be Happy Days again, even if now is a time for tears. When my father died tragically, a few days after my 30th birthday, the women and men in our community came together to find ways to help my mother and our family, bringing food, sitting with my Mom, repairing the air conditioner, fixing the front gate, mowing our pastures for years after his death. None of these people became famous for what they gave our family. Their reward was much richer, and always will be. Happy Days are here, they are around us, because of who we are. Happy Days are here because of what we are and what we give for others.
The studio models take a bow!

Continuing to ride the Lemonade wave, this popstar decided to arrive solo to one of the biggest fashion events of the year. Yet that doesn't mean she didn't arrive in style. The Beyonce Met Gala Dress is one that will be talked about for some time to come -- if negatively as well as positively. A person can't satisfy everyone.
In the case of the Beyonce Met Gala Dress, it's understandable why the look would be so divided and potentially controversial. Although a beautiful blush and skintight in as flattering a way as possible, the tone of the design does match her skin a bit too well. Not to mention that the latex material gives it a strange sheen. These details have encouraged some to liken it to a medical condition.

It's that time again where I make you all drool over your screens as I bring you the latest Cake Club antics.
If you're not aware of my Cake Club antics then you can read my original post HERE.
The theme this time was Orange. I asked for your suggestions last time so thank you to anyone who gave me ideas! As we meet every other month, there is plenty of time to get recipes together but this time round it seemed to creep up on me from nowhere!
I settled for a gluten free chocolate orange muffins with orange flavoured (and coloured) buttercream icing.
I decided to make it gluten free because I'm on a diet at the moment where I've had to cut out a whole range of foods to figure out what I may be intolerant to!
Here's how my cakes turned out...
Before Icing
After Icing - No I didn't eat some, we just saved some for us!
And here are some of the other cakes that were made...
My mum's experimental cake - Gluten Free Orange & Almond Cake
Marmalade Cake
All the other cakes
This was the first theme where people have turned up with similar cakes. There were three that were all based on the same recipe with just a few minor differences! However they all tasted really good so no complaints there!
The next theme is Pastry so I need to get thinking and practicing. I think I've only ever made pastry from scratch once in Food Technology at school!
Have you got any ideas for what I can make?

The world is in need of some mussel building. The humble mussel is not only a delicious seafood dish, it also is one of the most important species in the sea (and various salt-free bodies of water). Mussels act as a natural filtration system by pulling excessive nutrients from the water, which might otherwise have contributed to algal blooms and "dead zones." Researchers from the University of Porto in Portugal and the Technical University of Munich have compiled the first comprehensive database of mussel populations in Europe's freshwater, which they hope will be used to protect these essential mollusks.
Mussels comprise approximately 90 percent of the biomass on the bottom of a body of water. Used by the mussels to acquire food, their filtration abilities promote broad ecosystem health. Clean water encourages the growth of other invertebrates, which then enables larger populations of larger animals. "Because a single mussel filters up to 40 liters of water per day, we humans also benefit from the ecosystem services provided by mussels," says Professor Jürgen Geist, Chair of Aquatic Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich.

The team's research has yielded guiding information about the diversity and resilience of Europe's mussel population. "One result of the Europe-wide study is the extent of the gap between north and south," says Geist. "There are fewer species in the north of Europe, for example Scandinavia, but the populations there are bigger." The distribution of mussel species throughout Europe has been influenced by the rising and falling Ice Ages in Europe's not-so-distant past, geographic barriers like the Alps, and fish which have served as hosts in allowing mussels to spread to new habitats. The research indicates hardier mussel species are better equipped to adapt to new environments and reestablish populations after a disruptive event.
The researchers note the greatest threats to mussel populations are pollution, man-made barriers like dams, invasive species, and climate change. They also point to a deep symbiotic relationship between mussels and local fish. "Because a mussel is highly dependent on its fish host and these are in decline, particular attention should be paid to the fish stocks," says Professor Geist, "even if some of these fish species do not have any particular economic value." To protect vulnerable mussels, the researchers suggest implementing conservation models specific to the type of mussel and its native ecosystem.

With ubiquitous Where the Wild Things Are chatter, a recent MoMA retrospective and a Kanye collaboration that has the internet in a royal tizz, you'd be forgiven for feeling pangs of Spike Jonze fatigue.
But you've got to hand it to the man. No director have made the transition from no-budget music video director into fully fledged Oscar-nominated territory the way he has. Whilst his work looks increasingly glossy and expensive (thanks to long time collaborator cinematographer Lance Acord) it's interesting to revisit his roots, in this case, Jonze's second video, Sonic Youth's 100%.

For the past week I've been in West Virginia and Florida – WV to clean out my grandmother's home and FL for my younger brother's wedding. So while this isn't a post about *my* house, it has some pics from my trip that are house-related.
When we got to West Virginia we noticed that the siding had some mildew growing on it (similar to how it grows on my fence – see the black stuff on the white siding below) so the house needs a good power washing before we put it up for sale. Oh, did I not mention that my grandmother now lives in MI so the house is going on the market? We were in WV for three days to clean out the house – we had to determine what to toss, what to sell and what to keep. After the first day we had approximately 20 bags of garbage.
I only wanted a few items from her home (which I'll take pictures of and post about once I get them) but we found some cool stuff – a little moonshine, a lot of old tools, a gas mask from WWI (I think) and more. I offered my mom $100 to put on the gas mask and she shockingly turned me down. Who wouldn't want to put this thing on their face?!?
My grandmother was the queen of crafts and you wouldn't believe the amount of craft supplies we found in the house – under beds, in dresser drawers, in the attic. Here's a small snippet of it:
We donated all of the craft supplies and some other household goods to the church that my grandmother enjoyed helping (she made crafts for their sales) and the rest will be taken home or else sold to a man who purchases the contents of homes to sell in his resale shop.
On to Florida! My older brother owns a home with a good amount of land and on his property is a chicken coop that he built for his 16 chickens and one rooster. Fresh eggs for breakfast was a great way to start the day.
His neighbor recently purchased cows and horses so I enjoyed a brief visit with two horses that ventured up to let me pet them.
My favorite thing at my brother's home is his ice machine. I *love* eating ice so I was thrilled to stand outside in the 100% humidity (it was hot, rainy and humid the entire four days we were there) to chomp down on some ice. He owns a framing company (as in framing out buildings and houses) so he bought an ice machine a few years ago since it was cheaper and easier to fill coolers every day for his workers' drinks from his home than to buy bags of ice each day.
And since this isn't a personal blog I usually don't put pictures of my family on here but here's one of me and my brothers on the wedding day. The one in the middle is my younger brother, the groom. Their outfits were based on one of his favorite movies, Gangs of New York.
I'm trying to get back into the swing of things with my house, my job and just recover from being so busy for the past week. I didn't have much of a vacation since I was cleaning and then doing wedding prep work every day but it was so nice to see everyone and to get away from MI for a week. So things will be slow around here.

Jewel Carnival Blog time... Again!
Many MANY teachers and artists' have jump-started my art life. Many... far too many.
But far and away it is Carolyn Morris Bach.
I have loved her work since I saw my first Piece of
Art Jewelry in the late 1980's. What impressed me the most was the clean simplicity of her work, the balanced artistry and the whimsy she delectably adds to each piece.
She IS my hero of art jewelry.
Sadly, I have never purchased her work, nor I have ever met her or taken a workshop from her. I just have to clean the drool off of magazines with her work featured or in ads. Ornament is great place to see her artfulness.
Bach's work never ceases to amaze me, delight me and inspire the muse in me to create new work. To be a maker without a thought if it would be 'saleable' or not. Without talking to her or studying her words on her work, I have learned the most valuable lesson in my art life: To make what comes from my spirit without fear of criticism. To be able to show my soul in my work for the pure joy of the process. This is what I have cultured from studying her art. And it IS fine.
Take a walk through her web pages... but start here with a review of her work by the Patina Gallery in Santa Fe, NM. You will be so delighted... Don't be surprised if you to try and purchase one of her works of art.
Then browse through these other blogs on the same subject of teacher/artist. You will love this Carnival Friday and so have I.

OMG, Carolyn Morris Bach is one of my idols, too!! I keep a Book of Attractions where I paste in photos of work that inspires me, and she owns more pages than anyone else.ReplyDelete
I got to see an exhibition of her work in Houston a year or two ago. Expensive (justifiably so), but lots of red dots. Obviously the world recognizes excellence and will pay for it.

Wow, yes her work is just awesome. Such a prolific and creative maker of jewelry.

Looks like you are super busy and that makes me so happy! Great blog post. Her work is fabulous! Looking forward to seeing you in July!ReplyDelete
Lorrene, thank you for introducing me to Ms. Bach--her work is indeed amazing!ReplyDelete

Happy September, everyone! Halloween Time has returned to Disneyland Resort and I recently began producing this year's Halloween Time photography during a long walk through the parks. I always enjoy photographing the Partners Statue and Sleeping Beauty Castle during the day's transition lighting (dawn and dusk). The addition of jack-o-lanterns and orange/yellow flowers makes this a great spot for fun family photos. Not only does 2018 mark the 25th anniversary of "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas," but also the 18th time that Jack Skellington has visited the 999 Happy Haunts who dwell in the Haunted Mansion, transforming this attraction into Haunted Mansion Holiday

Ah, the "special comment" couldn't be brief. When he first started talking I thought, "Hmm, that sounds eerily familiar". I think you get my drift, but just in case you don't, Keith bashed every Republican he could manage to bash.
And then it started to sound more like, "Obama beware of false prophets". But as the end drew near it got better.
Not Keith's best but it wasn't too bad. At least he didn't holler. And that speaks volumes. Maybe now his pets are happy.
Countdown was okay. Best Persons was interesting again. But Worst Persons is so predictable I just don't even listen to it anymore.
On a different note. Some advice for bonehead.
If you want to be taken seriously then go back to school. This time take some journalism classes. And throw in many hours of acting lessons.
Stop dancing while reporting, especially when reporting a murder. And watch those bouncing forward movements. It looks very childish and stupid. And very very very amateurish.
I figured by now you would be better, but you're not.
Stop wearing atrocious clothing. That ugly ass white shirt and pukey colored skirt looked like you were going to apply for a job at FOX. You know? The kind of clothes that's bought at a yard sale and makes you look like you're ready to become a hooker?
You know as well as I do that Keith doesn't think you're good at this. If he says you are then he's lying.
But then you could do everybody a favor and quit while you're behind.
You suck at on air reporting. And it's not just because I find you repulsive, as far as morals are concerned, it's that you just simply do not have any qualifications to be doing what you're doing, AND have shown absolutely no improvement whatsoever.
I give this six more months.

She'll go far in the business. Why? Because she's willing to get where she wants to go on her back, hence the hooker clothing. The look comes very naturally to her.

Hehe, well, at least she's good at something.
I just never figured Keith to be that kind of guy, though. I guess I figured wrong.

For Kicks...
I'm here! A certain three-year-old boy has turned into a slowpoke when it comes to getting ready for preschool and his one-year-old sister had the meltdown of all meltdowns this fine morning. They're both lucky that they're cute or I'd run away to some far off land. Meltdowns or not, however, I'm madly in love with these two (and their patient dad, of course). Both EZ E and Kicky are getting so big! I was sorting through their clothing last week and noticed that I was saving an inordinate amount of Kicky's clothing that no longer fits because it's adorable. Rather than be a freakish baby-clothing hoarder, I've shifted gears and started documenting some of my favorite Kicky outfits. I love Bleubird Vintage's What We Wore posts and Rachel Denbow's Vintage Here, Vintage There posts, so I decided to share some of Kicky's outfits here. I've labeled them with the brand names, even though most of her clothing comes from an amazing store in Ithaca, NY called Mama Goose. So, without further ado, I present you with Kicky as a rainbow.

That sweater is so rad! I have an 8 month old and she has the cutest clothes too. I am saving them in case we have a 2nd girl. But after that, purging will be so hard. I also recently starting snapping pics of her in my favorite baby outfits. Some of them she outgrows so fast I realize I never even got a picture of her wearing something.

I love seeing what other people are wearing and have my own "How we dress." on my blog...but I never thought of using that to document my favorite outfits of my little girl. That's a great way to look at it...as I have no desire to hoard either! Looking forward to the outfits!

Radiators in the home are not just practical; they can also be very stylish. Sure they are perfect for helping the family keep arm in winter, they are great for drying clothes on when it's raining outside, and they are just wonderful for keeping clean clothes warm to put on after a shower or bath. But have you ever considered that they could also be a stunning piece of artwork for the home? They can blend in with your décor and they can also add a little character which is great for those renovating a period home.
Plain White heating-units are Dead
Gone are the days of staid, boring radiators, unless of course a conventional heating-unit style fits in with your choice of décor. A quick search of the internet will show just how amazing some of the more modern radiators are. Some look just like pictures and sit flush against the wall, others look like sculptures that will truly be a talking point for any guests to your home.
You can now get radiators in a wide choice of colours and styles, bright ones ideal for children's bedrooms and small ones suitable for a cloakroom toilet. Whatever your need, there is a heating-unit to suit.
Radiators as Art
That large flower metal artwork on your friend's wall may not actually just be a piece of art; it could also be a really stylish radiator that helps to warm the room without taking up any floor space. heating-units can now also be made with images on them. How about using a radiator with an image of a fireplace on as your focal point, or a large piece of art with a cityscape scene?
Freestanding sculptures that can serve a double purpose can make any house a home. Modern homes can be masterpieces with the help of a few unusually styled radiators. Designer heating-units are not cheap, but they do give the home an added touch of luxury that just cannot be beaten.
Period Radiators
If you are renovating a period home then you may want to choose heating-units that are in keeping with the original features of the home. This can mean trawling around salvage yards and scrap merchants to find the right period piece you are looking for.
However, if you want your radiator to have a modern twist there are many reproduction heating-units on the market to choose from. Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian radiators can all add an elegant touch to any home, but can be the perfect finished touch when renovating a period home that has still managed to retain many of its original features.
Chrome Radiators
Chrome radiators became popular for bathrooms where they were used as towel warmers and contrast perfectly with modern dark-coloured tiles. Chrome radiators can also be used in modern and minimalistic homes in the main living areas. The great thing about these radiators is that they produce sufficient heat to warm a room but do not become so hot that it burns to touch them. This means they are safe for areas where young children may be playing or sleeping.
. . . . .
It is possible to change the look of your home simply by replacing your old radiator for something a little more stylish. Whether you are after sophisticated chic, classical lines or trendy sculptures modern radiators can make all the difference to your home.

Local Activist Stephanie Hart Speaks at Wilmington Against Prop 8 Rally
Local activist and straight ally, Stephanie Hart, who spoke first in Wilmington, NC's rally on November 15, 2008's speech:
"I was not sure what I was going to say. And then late last night I was watching Henry Rollins speak in South Africa, and he also spoke with Desmond Tutu, and they brought up things that inspired me for today.
I quote his holiness, the Dalai Lama, "Ultimately, humanity is one and this small planet is our only home. If we are to protect this home of ours,each of us needs to experience a vivid sense of universal altruism. It is only this feeling that can remove the self-centered motives that cause people to deceive and misuse one another. If you have a sincere and open heart,you naturally feel self-worth and confidence, and there is no need to be fearful of others."

Columbia protest attended by 150
COLUMBIA — Working quickly on short notice, local activists organized a protest to join the nationwide demonstration for gay marriage rights Nov. 15, attracting about 150 people to the sidewalk in front of the Capitol.
Signs reading "No H8″ and "Fight H8″ referred to the passage of Proposition 8 in California, which ended legally recognized same-sex marriages in that state.
"Nobody expected Proposition 8 to pass," said Beth Sherouse, volunteer coordinator for SC Equality and board member of Sean's Last Wish. "We look to California as a liberal, progressive state," added Santi Thompson, vice president of the SC Pride Movement.
The 2008 election results were even more jarring to the activists than South Carolina's own ban of same-sex marriage in 2006. "We elected the first black president and took people's rights away at the same time," said Laura Schneider, president of the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Straight Alliance at the University of South Carolina.
Asheville Protest Well Attended... and very vocal.
Proposition 8 Protest in Asheville
By Lin Orndorf
Asheville, NC - This afternoon in Asheville, as in numerous other cities in North and South Carolina and across the country, demonstrators gathered to protest against the passage of Proposition 8 in California.
Proposition 8 was a ballot initiative in California to amend the state's constitution to repeal the right of same-sex couples to marry. It was passed on November 4 with 52% of the vote. Now some 18,000 gay and lesbian couples that were legally married there since mid-June of this year are in a legal limbo.
Anger and frustration over the passage of the divisive measure have prompted protest rallies to occur throughout California since Election Day. Today's protests in support of same-sex marriage rights were coordinated to take place at the same time of day, 1:30pm Eastern Time, in every state.
Asheville's protest in Pritchard Park in the middle of the downtown district was organized by the University of North Carolina at Asheville's (UNC-A) chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). SDS's chapter secretary, Sarah Buchner was pleased with the turnout of approximately 300 gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, and queer people and their straight allies.
Buchner was one of several impromptu speakers, all of whom spoke about the importance of equality for all, respect for loving relationships, personal freedoms, and separation of church and state. All the while, two men in religious sandwich boards with bibles in hand circled the perimeter of the crowd.
Reverend Joe Hoffman of the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Asheville spoke as well.
Hoffman is one of the founding members of People of Faith for Just Relationships and is one of the area's clergy who has ceased to perform weddings until every couple can be married. He spoke about the need for justice for all couples.
Another speaker at the event was a woman who has been with her partner for 27 years. She said, "She is my partner because in North Carolina, she can't be my wife." She made the point that the lack of legal equity has not prevented them from being together.
I spoke to a couple in the crowd who were married in San Francisco on October 15. They are now one of the 18,000 couples whose legal status is unclear. They were there to demonstrate for their marriage as well as the marriages of all the other couples married in California over the four and half month period when gay and lesbian couples had the right to do just that.
A Black man in his late 50s who was observing the protest asked what it was for. OIA's Associate Publisher, Porscha Yount, explained to him that it was in response to same-sex couples in California losing their right to marry in a vote by the state's citizens.
"That's like what they did to the Blacks in the 50s and 60s. It's just the same in my opinion and just as wrong," he said as he shook his head in disbelief.
Many parents - gay parents and straight parents - were in the crowd, as well. One mom had her three young daughters dressed in tee shirts that read "My mommies rule." Other parents were there with babies strapped on their backs or lounging in strollers to protest the removal of rights from lesbian and gay couples in California. There were also several signs in support of gay and lesbian children and their rights.

Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (And Stick You with the Bill), David Cay Johnston — A good book from 2007 about how government and wealthy elites collude to enrich themselves at taxpayer expense, even more relevant now than when it was written. Johnston writes from a somewhat progressive perspective but it reads just as well through a Public Choice lens. This paragraph for example:
Regulation by detailed rules has not worked. A century ago the reformers of the Gilded Age believed that if we just got the rules right, a just society would follow. Instead, the rules became ever more finely diced, creating unintended opportunities for mischief and often creating loopholes and favors for those whose conduct the rules were supposed to constrain.
The book stretches on a bit too long in my opinion, but it's a good reminder that advocacy for free markets is often the complete opposite of advocacy for big business.
Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals About Our Everyday Deceptions, Stephen L. Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde — Two neuroscientists explain how the brain works in the context of magicians' sneaky methods. As the authors say, magicians having been doing amateur neuroscience for centuries, making this a surprisingly useful approach. It's a good primer and engagingly written.
Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human, Grant Morrison — Everything you'd want from a Grant Morrison history of superheroes, up to and including his own recent work and his inspirational spiritual journey in Kathmandu. Morrison manages to bring out the best in every era of superheroes.
Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All, Brad Thomas Parsons — I like that we're seeing more cocktail books that are focused on specific topics rather than being generic compilations of recipes. In this one bitters get their due. When I started tending bar a few years ago it was a struggle just to find orange bitters; now artisan bitters have flooded the market and craft cocktail bars make unheard of varieties their own. Parsons' book provides a brief history of bitters and then provides fifteen recipes for making them at home, concluding with a well-selected mix of cocktail recipes. I haven't tried making any of the bitters yet but I have enjoyed making some of the drinks. Highly recommended.
Portland's 100 Best Places to Stuff Your Faces, Jen Stevenson — This is a very fun self-published guide to Portland restaurants from local food writer Jen Stevenson. The production values are high and the recommendations are spot-on. I eat out a lot and I've only been to sixty of the spots she suggests, so I have some new places to visit. I'd give this to anyone looking to explore the local food scene.

The Secret to Good Parenting
August 05, 2014
All parents make mistakes.
In good and bad parenting, similar mistakes are made.
Emotionally overreacting. Saying things you regret. Neglect.
A single difference between the two types of parenting:
In good parenting, those parents say "I'm sorry" afterwards.
They take responsibility by going to their kid and apologizing.
In bad parenting, those parents simply never discuss their mistake.
They pretend as though their mistake never happened.
Kids suppress this hurt and their emotional wounds heal slower.
Developing emotionally healthy kids starts with parenting.
Have you made a parenting mistake lately?
The secret is to acknowledge it, confess it, and seek forgiveness.


text: Apparently 2011 is the year to get married. Seven (yes, seven!) of my nearest & dearest are tying the knot this year. And not even one of the weddings is where I live. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. San Francisco, Savannah, Atlanta, Santa Barbara… it could definitely be worse.

Comparison: 2018 Lexus GX 460 vs 2018 Audi Q7
Drivers who want luxury SUV that's capable of towing and off-roading but comfortable and luxe for the whole family may want to know how the 2018 Lexus GX 460 compares to the 2018 Audi Q7.
Both models offer an array of features and have impressive performance specs, but one automaker gives you a better-equipped base model and more advanced safety tech.
If you're in the San Jose area and want to know more, check out our full review then visit us for a test drive:
Safety and Convenience Tech
Lexus GX 460
The 2018 GX is available as a base model, as well as Premium and Luxury trims. Upper trims guarantee a luxury experience, but even the base trim is well equipped. It features a backup camera, Trailer Sway Control, LED headlamps and daytime running lights, and the Lexus Enform suite of apps: Safety Connect, Service Connect, and Remote. Additionally, all models have a power moonroof, Lexus Memory System, a reclining/sliding middle row, and dual-zone climate control.
Available tech on the GX 460 includes a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Intuitive Parking Assist, rain-sensing wipers, Pre-Collision System with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Driver Attention Monitor, Lane Departure Alert, intelligent high beams, and wide-view front and side monitor.
Audi Q7
The Q7 comes in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims. The Q7 Premium features a rear parking camera, Audi pre sense basic and city, Audi drive select, and Xenon plus headlights, but does not come with an equivalent to the Lexus Enform Apps. The base also features a sunroof and three-zone climate control, but lacks a memory system and sliding or reclining middle row.
Available features include a blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, top-view camera system, and lane-keep assist. It does not come with the option for a wide-view front or side monitor.
Performance and Towing
Lexus GX 460
The 2018 Lexus GX 460 has a 4.6-liter V8 engine that makes 301 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It features standard full-time four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case and a TORSEN Torque-Sensing Limited Slip Center Differential, as well as a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System to give you a smooth, controlled ride on-road or off. The Lexus SUV has a towing capacity of 6,500 pounds.
Audi Q7
The 2018 Q7 has two engine options. The base is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 that makes 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, or buyers can upgrade to a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine that produces 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. Both engines have an 8-speed automatic transmission. The base engine can tow up to 4,400 pounds, while the V6 can tow up to 7,700 pounds.
While the upgraded Audi has a higher towing capacity than the GX, it doesn't come available with a TORSEN locking differential or a kinetic dynamic suspension system, which makes it less capable off-road. Plus, opting for the V6 adds over $6,000 to the base price.
Lexus GX 460
Starting at $52,155 MSRP
Audi Q7
Starting at $49,900 MSRP

I have been a bit disheartened when it has come to blogging recently. Do you ever get that feeling that it's just not going how you want it to and you wish you could start from scratch? Well I have. My blog does mean a lot to me and I wouldn't want to get rid of all the work and love that has already been put into it but Little Red was due a makeover and here are the results...
I wanted something more simplistic, more professional and easy to read without a hundred and one widgets flying about the place. Que Abby, author of one of my new favourite read Unobserved - her blog designs are absolutely gorgeous and she completely transformed my tired out layout and gave Little Red a new lease of life. Not only is she quite the html wizz but what I cherished most about her service is the genuine care of getting it just right for you as well as her level of patience even when I was sending her various e-mails with ideas and issues that I had or may have. If your blog is in need of a bit of a lift I really can't praise Abby enough!
Please let me know your thoughts as I would love to hear any feedback! Are there any particular posts you would like to see more often? Do you mind using the 'read more' function? Whatever your thoughts are please do share and I will get back to you.

This is Going to be BIG
November 15, 2010
I have totally drunk the Kool-Aid on Social CRM — it's my latest favorite answer to the question "what's the next big thing?"
The social sea-change spreading across the web is not just influencing consumer sites and services, but will have a major impact on categories from Ad Tech to enterprise software. And nowhere is this more evident than in CRM. Which makes also the sense in the world, since the "C" whose relationship is being managed is an inherently social creature who is becoming increasingly comfortable with (even dependent on) social products and services.
Paul Greenberg explains that Social CRM makes sense in large part because
customers … want to engage more than ever with the companies that they are purchasing from and they are conversing about those companies in the channels that the companies don't control.
According to Greenberg, companies are looking to SCRM for 5 different uses:
How to find out what their customers are saying about their brand – good and bad. How to provide customers with inputs to the company so that the customers can either have the opportunity to participate in dialogue with the company, or provide feedback to the company in multiple ways or minimally, have avenues for greater transparency from the company. How to provide self-service avenues that are sufficient to allow the singular customer to sculpt his or her own individual experience with the company whether as simple as deciding on the channel that the individual customer wants to use to find out information or as complex as creating and using tools to produce a product that is tailored to the customer's individual desires. How to make sure all of the customer's interactions and social data become part of the individual's customer record – adding to the more traditional transaction records and basic field level data (name, address, etc) that already resides there. How to use all that to gain insight into the social customer and to figure out the value of that social customer to the company?

You are absolutely correct. We are seeing a wave of businesses and people building new business processes and channels of communication with customers in Social Media. As a result, even traditional information management tools are changing. Social CRM will force a change in business analytics and business intelligence. If the most valuable, real-time, customer insights are coming out of Social CRM, how is this impacting business intelligence and business strategy at the executive level? Given the numerous platforms of Social Media evolving quickly, are businesses keeping up?
At Terametric we are looking into the questions of how Social Media is changing business intelligence, starting from the marketing department and their need to develop business intelligence tools in Social Media. However, marketing is just one area. What about supply chain management? What about Human Resources? Well, we know what's happening with sales. Yes?
Social Media is changing the nature of business and CRM. It's an exciting time and your Kook-Aid tastes great.
Is yours purple? Mine is orange!

I've alluded to my busted up toe a couple times in the last few weeks but I don't think I have told you how it happened.
Five weeks ago I was sitting on my couch, preparing for an interview with (blind!) long-distance hiker Trevor Thomas for an article I was working on. I had talked to him before and was excited to give him another ring. He's a super nice guy with a pretty incredible story.
Three minutes (literally) before our scheduled call I hopped off the couch and promptly slammed my pinky toe into the coffee table. I looked down, saw that it was sort of .. swiveled? … and felt the world start to go fuzzy.
I tend to pass out when things get intense. Too much pain? Too much stress? Too much adrenaline? Things go dark. A doctor (who witnessed it happen as I nervously waited for a minor procedure …) said it's a vasovagal reaction to stress. Whatever it is, it's unpleasant and incovenient.
I've learned over the years how to stop the black outs in their tracks. I sat down on the couch, took some deep breaths, and pulled myself together. I was about to talk to a blind guy who hiked the freaking Appalachian Trail by himself. I couldn't miss the interview because of a damn stubbed toe. By the time I got off the phone with Trevor an hour later, I couldn't walk.
Over the next several days my pinky toe and the top of my foot turned an unfortunate shade of purple. Any type of closed toed shoes left me in agony. I hobbled around for the next two weeks and was finally starting to feel a little better … when I stubbed the same damn toe again.
I flopped down on the couch and howled in pain and frustration. I was back to where I started.
I sucked it up for as long as I could but then finally realized a professional opinion was probably in order and went in for a scan. The X-ray tech took one look at my foot and said "Oh yeah, this little piggy went to market!".
Diagnosis: Fracture. Treatment: Buddy taping and time.
It's been almost six weeks since the initial injury and the damn thing still hurts. I can walk now without too much pain and riding works as long as I'm not doing anything at all gnarly. I had to cancel a much anticipated day out with friends at Kenosha Pass last weekend because, while I can pedal a bike, I can't do anything remotely epic. Cyclocross season is upon us and I have no idea when or if I will be racing. At this point I've got my sights set on being healed up for snowboarding. Surely I'll be better by then?
So yeah, I'm missing my favorite season of riding and hiking all because of a damn stubbed toe.
It hasn't been all bad, though. Being down for the count has left a lot of time for other things (one of those things was not blogging, apparently!). Here's what's been going down in the meantime:
Time with friends and family. Being out of town for most of the summer didn't leave a lot of room for hanging out with friends at home so we've been making up for lost time. Between having people over for dinner, meeting friends out for drinks, brunches at the bakery (and some get togethers that didn't even involve food!), we've been super social. We even managed to sneak out child-free one night!
Lots of work. The timing of this injury was actually pretty good considering that for the past few weeks I have been slammed with work projects. Freelancing is a bit of a "feast or famine" thing and right now I'm in a stage of "feast". This is a good thing.
Little guy milestones. Homeboy turned three, started preschool, and got a new bike for his birthday. He is now obsessed with riding his pedal bike (even though he mostly still uses it like a Strider). I predict that he will be full on ripping in a month or two!
Chicken drama. We lost a chicken a couple months ago due to her being egg bound (at least I think that's what happened). Since winter is coming I decided we needed to add to the flock (the more chickens you have, the warmer they stay) so I got two pullets from the feed store. The kidlet named them Melon and Tutu (and I swore that from now on all new family pets will be named by a three-year old). Then I decided that the whole crew needed a new coop so I am learning how to build things with wood. Stay tuned to see if I still have ten fingers when this is all over!
And yeah, that's been about it. You'd think that all this downtime would have left a lot of room in my life for updating this here blog but that's just not how the cookie crumbled. I'm back now, though, and have a lot to talk about!
I hope that it's cool and fall-like wherever you are. Go do some adventuring for me!

Formula E appears to be a rapidly growing category (though no events Down Under – presumably electricity is expensive here), and love it or not, electric cars are going to be a massive presence in the future automotive landscape. Formula E has a love-it-or-hate-it sound, and the end of a race can be painful to watch in a way one could only imagine it would be like if every car in the field suddenly ran out of petrol on the last lap. Having said that, the racing is close, and it is exciting, and the technology has far reaching applications.
A recent announcement of the Roborace car release is an obvious next step in the evolution of electric vehicles, drone racing and remote operated or autonomous equipment.

This Beginners' guide will show you how to add data to OpenStreetMap. Tutorials are available in many languages which you can select from the table at the top of this page.
You need a computer connected to the Internet and some time to gather information and then enter it. A GPS unit and connecting cable are purely optional, but will be required if you want to collect data that way. Given the excellent aerial photography available in the editors these days a GPS is less important than in the early days of the project.
Create a free account so that you can contribute.
Collect data using a GPS unit or by other methods.
Upload GPS data (skip this section if you are not using GPS).
Edit maps to make changes to OpenStreetMap.
Edit data, add tags and upload changes.
Finally, there is a page of additional resources and next steps including some other excellent tutorials.
The data you add to OpenStreetMap improves the free world map for everyone, whether it's a small correction or thousands of roads added over time. Thank you for making OpenStreetMap just that bit better!
There is a panel on the right of every page of the tutorial. The page you are on will be in bold text and you can move to any other page by clicking on the relevant page title. The bottom of each page has 'next' and 'previous' links, as appropriate, to take you through the tutorial page by page.
