To help you avoid using the same word too repetitively, redundantly, recurrently, incessantly, etc., etc.
Your writing can sound boring if you continually keep repeating the same words. When you create sentences, you can make them more interesting by using words that mean the same as the word you are speaking about. This allows you to add flavor to your writing.
In order to make language a lot more expressive and interesting you should try to vary the words you use as often as you can.

the first 4 provided as prompt
Awake before the sun, she embraced the world without morning's full fire, contrary to her nature. She made tea then took a half-horizontal pose in the hammock. Settling back, the tea spilled, rolling off the fur onto the brick floor. Precious came to see if it was edible and/or delicious.
The sky played its opera. Disinterested, she asked, "What fun is it to be languid in the morning without someone to make breakfast?" After pondering this for as long as bearable, hoping Precious would assume human form, or some form that could make french toast, she started singing.
not french toast.

Disfunction was fun last night, apart from the point where some bastard decided to punch me in the face on the dancefloor for no apparent reason. Now my lips look like those of a trout and when I smile it starts bleeding again. Not that that's going to stop me going. Disfunction is going to be on monthly at The Cotton Club from now on with the next date being Friday the 7th of October.
Oh what a night

I've never quite understood those early 1890's shoulders with their massive, poofy tops. Later in the 1890's, when the enormous leg-o-mutton sleeves were in vogue, the gathered fabric accounted for the fullness at the sleeve cap. But early in the decade such was not the case. Then this morning I found this and it all made sense. Not to mention it reminds me of spring, too.

A Trip to Yorkshire.
Alot of dashing about since my last posting. We left Barton Turns on the Saturday and went down to Shobnell Marina, where we got a quote for our shower re-tiling and an extractor fan putting in the bathroom. Then we moored at Shobnal Fields so we could meet our son Richard and grandson Aaron at Burton on Trent station on Sunday, they were stopping with us till the Wednesday. On Monday we went down to Willington, returning to Shobnal on the Tuesday. After Richard and Aaron had left on the 11-27 from Burton, Marlene and I took the Doublefracture back up to Barton turns.
Then on the Thursday we took a train from Burton to Wakefield, then a bus to my mothers in Allerton Bywater. More visiting on Friday when we went across to Featherstone to see Marlene's sisters. After a quiet day with mother on Saturday, and a visit from my sister Carol and her partner, complete with Halloween masks(see picture) we went out for a meal with my sister Jennifer and her husband. A restful Sunday then on Monday morning we took a bus to Leeds, then the number 36 to Ripon via Harogate to see Richard and Gill and the other Grandchildren(Louise, Luke,Megan & Duncan) Returning to mothers on Tuesday. Thank goodness for free bus passes.
That leaves today, when once again we took to the buses and trains and returned to the boat.

Xbox One, Microsoft's newest version of the popular Xbox game console seems to be more than just a console. It does have a combination of almost every electronic gadget necessary in the living room. It has functionalities many game console manufacturers can only dream of.
One console box that can Skype, be a TV, stream movies, play games and do many more things certainly does not come around every day. The Xbox one is definitely a dream for any gadget fan. Maybe even a must have. A testimony to its quality is that in its opening 24 hours of release, it sold over a million copies! A record for sales blowing every record before it out of the water.
One of the first differences you notice between the Xbox one is that it is very quiet. You almost don't notice it's actually turned on. A world of difference from previous gaming systems. The fan on some previous generation consoles after a while starts to sound almost like a jet engine (a bit of exaggeration) and to have one that combines silence with effectiveness is more than welcome. The massive vent in it, which allows the heat to dissipate quickly, is partly responsible for this.
The Kinect which comes with the Xbox One is something that is almost jaw dropping. It picks up movements even in the dark. Imagine a gaming piece that shows muscle movements and the most minute variation in the way the body is spread across the floor. The Xbox One is definitely more than just a game. Kinect also recognises a larger vocabulary for dashboard control. Unlike previous versions of the Kinect also, with the version that comes with the Xbox One, you don't need to exit a game or be on the home screen to hunt out an application. Merely saying "Xbox Skype" while playing a game will take you straight to Skype.
The controller for the Xbox One is also brilliantly done. It is light enough for maximal comfort without giving anything away in terms of functionality. The infrared sensor located in front can also communicate with the Kinect camera which helps in the identification of different players to maximize motion control. This particular feature can be appreciated in a game like Dead Rising 3 where you have to shake off a zombie.
Interactions with other devices is also another feature of the Xbox One. It interacts almost seamlessly with other Microsoft products. Microsoft have done very well in making all their devices interact so well, it's almost like using the one device with many individual parts.
The battle for supremacy between the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 can probably be likened to the battle for supremacy between Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA or between Pepsi and Coca Cola. Which is which is up to you and which you prefer is your call as well. However, one thing is certain, the Xbox One is a different level of gaming experience to the last generation at least, and it surely does offer more than just gaming experience. Xbox One is more than just a game console.

This was my last week manning the infamous fruit stand in Confederation. To round out this memorable summer job, I thought I'd take some time to recognize a few of my best customers. I'm going to share with you a few snapshots in time from my summer, brought to you by people that truly exemplify Confed at its finest:
A Monday, 10 AM, 30-something grease ball, possibly female, weather: 21 and sunny
"If I buy 6 corn right now, can you guarantee that it will still be good to eat tonight after I leave it in my car all day?"
A Tuesday, 6 PM, 60-something male
"Throw some more cherries in there. I'm paying $14; I want more than this. Put more in the bag. Give me extras."
Wednesday, mid-day, early 20's male
"Is this fruit freshly picked? Is it locally grown? Like within 100km?"
NO. WHERE in SK are we going to grow Satsuma oranges??
Monday, 7 PM, 50-something male, after completing fruit purchase
"So now can I squeeze you?"
FUCK no.
Monday, 11 AM, 30-something male
"Don't you think $5 is a bit expensive for this?"
No, I don't. Nor would it matter if I did—I don't make the prices. Don't want to pay $5? Don't buy it.
Sunday, late afternoon, 40 something male, buys a peach, commences eating it right in front of the stand
"Oh I could just eat peaches all day long. These baby potatoes look good. If I buy them, will you come home with me and cook them in your panties?"
And finally, a few photos I've taken over the summer that really illustrate Confederites' fucked-up sense of entitlement ("I'll park wherever I damn well please!"), and their ignorance, poor driving skills, and absolute obliviousness to manners, etiquette and their surroundings in general. All of them are titled "So NOT a parking spot".
Don't forget the fat van, they too were parked like assholes!
Good riddance, Confed. See you on the x-ray table.
It's worth noting, though, that I did have a few very friendly, very nice regular customers. Headset lady, corn guy, yellow-cherries convert, handlebar-moustache racist, Can-do delivery creep, weed-smoking kidney dude, fast-talking crazy lady with husband, nectarine-eating taxi driver, baby potato guy with red truck, diabetic dude in white car and German guy in pinstripe suits. You were rays of sunshine in my day.
Fear not, readers. Where my Confed fruit monging adventure ends, my SIAST attending one begins. Many of my classmates will be fresh out of high school. I am confident that life for th enext year will continue to provide me with excellent Engrish Comics material.

Johannesburg, South Africa. 20 December 2012. Leading global specialised drilling services company Master Drilling Group Limited ("Master Drilling" or "the Company") listed its ordinary shares in the "Industrial Machinery" sector of the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) today, under the share code MDI.
The listing follows a successful private placement of 44.9 million new ordinary primary shares, 5.6 million secondary shares and 5.5 million over-allotment shares at R7.85 per share, which has raised R439 600 000 before expenses.
The Company intends using these proceeds primarily to fund its ambitious global growth strategy. Key will be the purchase of new drill rigs and associated equipment, so that Master Drilling can expand into new geographical markets.
At listing, Master Drilling has 148 265 491 ordinary shares in issue.
Founded in South Africa in 1986 by current MD Danie Pretorius and headquartered in Fochville, Master Drilling provides drilling services to major, mid-tier and junior mining companies – across a range of commodities and resources – throughout southern Africa, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.
It also provides drilling services for civil engineering applications in a variety of emerging markets.
Directly and indirectly, the Company currently has 154 drill rigs deployed across its global footprint.
Elaborating on the Company's track record and future strategy, Pretorius says: "Since its founding 26 years ago, Master Drilling has grown rapidly to become one of the global leaders in raisebore drilling. We have loyal, bluechip clients across Africa and Latin America, several of whom have used our services continuously for more than 20 years.
"Through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, we intend to develop existing markets and to create new markets globally, while enhancing operational efficiencies and continuing our dedicated focus on quality and safety.
"We are proudly South African – 'born and bred' here, based here, and now listed here.
"We are bullish about the medium- and long-term prospects for the resources sector at home, on the African continent and globally, and we are extremely confident that our expertise, experience and South African pedigree will continue to serve our new shareholder base well into the future."
Nicky Newton-King, JSE CEO, said: "We are delighted to welcome a local company with a successful global footprint to the JSE Main Board. Almost 30% of the JSE's market capitalisation has a mining focus so it is appropriate that we offer another investment option which operates in support of this sector. We wish Master Drilling a successful listing experience and appreciate that it chose South Africa as its primary listing destination."

In 2005, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) released its 11th Report on Carcinogens (RoC), which outlines chemicals that may pose a hazard to human health by virtue of their carcinogenity. Has EPA added any of the chemicals from the RoC to the EPCRA §313 TRI toxic chemical list?
On November 26, 2010, EPA expanded the TRI toxic chemical list by adding 16 chemicals classified as "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen" by the National Toxicology Program's (NTP) Report on Carcinogens (75 FR 72727). After reviewing the NTP's report, EPA believes that these 16 chemicals meet the EPCRA §313(d)(2)(B) statutory listing criteria because they can reasonably be anticipated to cause cancer in humans. Twelve of the chemicals were listed individually, while the remaining four were added to the polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) category. The PACs category is a category of special concern because PACs are persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic (PBT) chemicals, and as such, they are likely to remain in the environment for a very long time, are not readily destroyed, and may build up or accumulate in the body.
This rulemaking to expand the TRI toxic chemical list is a part of EPA's ongoing efforts to provide communities with more complete information on chemicals. The revised toxic chemical list is effective starting with reports due July 1, 2012, for Reporting Year 2011.

Hello Y'all!! Here in my neck of the woods, it's as if nature is still having a hissy fit!! It's having a tough time going in to Spring here. But......I do have to say that I do enjoy the coolness. Because I know me, I don't like hot. So I should be happy that it's still cool here. I am loving all the colors of beautiful flowers, wild ones and all. We still have boocoos of those little Johnny Jump-Ups in our yard and that makes me VERY happy to see them. I was afraid that the very cold wet and snowy weekend we just had, that it would make them go away sooner than usual, but they are still perky and pretty. Maybe they are like me, they like cool weather too. hahahaha I was blessed to get to spend the day with my Momma in Ky yesterday. We had a good time, as usual. Lots of dining out and lots of laughter and a little purchasing. Can't beat a day like that. I got to go to one of my favorite crafty places, Mighty Dollar, (where everything is a dollar) while we was together and I did a little mini craft haul. Can't wait to see what all I can do with my fun stuff. I picked up 2 mini albums, one is already an album, you just add your pics or your mini pieces of art and boom, it's done. The other one is a tad larger. It has really thick chipboard for the front and back, that you cover or decorate how ever you wish. Then the pages are a thinner chipboard that you decorate too. You add pockets, tabs and any and all kinds of ephemera to make it just plumb gaw-juss!!!! I picked up some mini wood pieces that are wood burned, those are really cute. I got 3 or 4 different pkgs of napkins for some napkin art.
I'm gonna stop right here for a commercial break and throw in my tip for this post. When you are looking for napkins, they are not all created equal. Just be aware of that. It's not something we usually think about, unless we are using them for napkin art. A lot of the napkins only have one beautiful corner on it. And the way they are folded in the pkg, you may not notice it until you get home and take one out and see that only one corner has a design in it. That's ok for cards and smaller crafts, but if you are wanting to make beads with them, then you want a full napkin and not just one corner. And you can piece together 4 corners of 4 napkins to make a full sheet of images for your project, but you have to be extremely careful with the delicate pieces once you have the other layers peeled from the napkins. So, just remember to try to make sure your napkins are fully covered with the image. I picked up some beautiful napkins and realized they only had one corner of beauty on them and I reluctantly put them back. sad sad sad Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. hahaha
I also picked up 3 pkgs of brown Scotch brand cover up sheets. I have never seen those anywhere before. They are used to cover up info on boxes or manila envelopes that you may already have and want to re-use. They are peel-stick with permanent adhesive. There is 6 to a pkg. And they are 12 inches x 12 inches. Perfect size and of course they have a writable surface. So, as I sit here now, I am regretting that I didn't pick up all the pkgs. Sometimes I just have a mini regret, and this is one of those times. ggg I am envisioning many uses with these and I will share what I do with them. If any of y'all have some and use them in your crafting, please share. But that is the gist of my mini haul at Mighty Dollar.
And I was pleased to see, when I got back home, the city crew had been busy at patching some of the potholes on the road that you could lose a small vehicle in. The potholes had gotten so big that you could almost rent them out as a spare room or a guest room. Back earlier in the year, on one of the back roads going into the local Lowe's, there was a pothole big enough that someone had placed a shopping cart in it and all you could see was about half the cart sticking up from the pothole. That's true!! I drove by it myself and seen with my own eyes. That is so terrible. But I guess the places that work on vehicles get to stay busy. If you take your eyes off the road and hit one of those holes, it could really cause some damage, not mention it would scare the bejebbers out of ya!!! hahaha
************So I think I mentioned something about more beads. Right, I did, more beads. Yeah!!! Just a few more. Hahahaha
I bet you thought I was kidding, didn't cha! Well, obviously I wasn't. hahaha You know the sad truth, this isn't even all of them. I just took a hand full from each different group of beads for each individual pic. Plus, I already have more that haven't been photographed yet!!!!
Yes, I know, it's a sickness............but I'm not looking for a cure, really I'm not. But I am looking for things to roll to make more beads. hahaha This was from a thin magazine that I got in the mail. It was just a few pages thick, but the pages were very nice, not like some of the magazines that have very thin scratchy paper, this was thicker and smoother, perfect really. It was just an advertisement, but it made for some gaw-juss beads.
After watching a few videos last year and people not using some of the stuff I was interested in using, I just started using what I wanted to use. These are very thin in width, about 1/8 of an inch wide, but very thick in depth, disc beads. Very hard to make, but as you can see, very worth the struggle.
Just a word of caution, don't tell me it can't be rolled, I may just find a way to do it. hahahaha These are what's called olive beads.
These particular beads was from a cardboard box that I didn't like the outside of them so I just painted them with metallic rose gold paint and then finished the usual steps of putting the finishes on them. I also made a bunch of really narrow ones to use as spacers when I start making the jewelry. Really neat looking.
When I get done with my beads, I put them in a ziploc bag along with the notations on the beads and when I am showing them to someone, all the info is right for them to see. Then I put the ziploc bags in a box that is for my finished beads only. I now have 2 good sized boxes full. I also have another good sized box with unfinished beads in it, and it's almost full. In this box is the beads that I need to take thru my 6 step dipping process. This makes the water resistant. They are sealed through and through, inside and outside. I won't say they are waterproof, but they are water resistant. Even if they touch your skin, sweat should not be an issue with them at all, because they are sealed so well.
These are from some designer paper. Love these. I tipped the ends in rose gold metallic paint.
These and the ones below are quite elegant looking made up into jewelry.
These are from a peacock napkin adhered to a piece of light teal cardstock. I then used a wavy blade in one of cutters and I am hooked on a new technique. I had not seen these anywhere. They will beautiful when I get them done up with all the finishes on them.
The neat thing about this technique is that you can use all different colors of cardstock using the same napkin print and they will all be mixable and matchable, because of the napkin. So this is pretty cool. Whatever color is in the napkin can be used as the cardstock base. I use stick glue to adhere the napkin to the cardstock because I don't want to saturate the napkin with a wet glue, because it will tear very easily. On the upside, if it does tear, it can be easily repaired and used anyway. More than likely the tear will be on the inside of the bead and will not even be seen, so, there ya go.
The wavy sides make for a very beautiful bead!!! I can not wait to get all of the napkin beads dipped and finished, they will be simply divine for sure. You can also click on the pictures and it should bring them up larger for better viewing.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't roll something. Find out for yourself. You may even have to make yourself a roller that will do what you need it to do. That's what I done for a lot of these. Just have fun and only you can determine what you can and cannot roll to make a bead.
At some point in time, when I get burned out on making beads, I will start making more jewelry. But, for now, I keep finding things to mix and match. Just like the above peacock beads. Layer the napkin on different colors of cardstock and they take on a whole new look, but they can be mixed and matched easily because of the napkin. Oh my gosh, so many beads to make and so little time!!!! hahaha And also some of the finishes that can be used can also give a different look. Just experiment. That's what I did.
Well, I hope you enjoyed a sneak peek into my addiction. Again, I tell you, I'm not looking for a cure, just more items to be made into beads!!!! hahahaha If you have the same addiction, I would love to hear from you. If you would like to have the addiction, I would like to hear from you. If you just like looking at beautiful beads, I would love to hear from you too. Now, go make a bead.
Well, I hope you enjoyed your visit with me today. If you did, leave me a comment below and let me know what you think of my bead addiction. hahaha I do love the fact that we, as crafters, have it within our abilities to reduce, reuse and recycle items that would otherwise be thrown away. I hope that I am making "heirlooms" that will be around for generations to come. At least, I won't be one throwing away the materials that I used to make them. Someone else will have to toss them out. I just thank God for the creativity that He has given me in all areas of crafting and arting. I'm not the best at anything, and it's not about being the best. It's about doing the best I can do. Doing the best we can do and encouraging each others in our endeavors. There should be no competition in our crafting and arting, just encouragement. I am constantly praying for God to show me more and more and more, and He does. I hope that you are asking God to help you with your creative nature. Just realize that everything that you have the ability to do comes directly from Him. I believe with all my heart that He wants us to be as creative as we possibly can. Thank Him for your creativity and even ask Him to increase your nature to be creative, He will. After all God is the creator of creativity. Yay!!!! Everything good comes from Him!!!! Praises!!!

expert reviews about
Giaconda Warner Vineyard Shiraz
Expert Reviews
Jeremy Oliver (2011 Vintage) says
Lean, greenish but likely to evolve slowly towards a fine grained, restrained style reflective of the season. Its spicy, musky fragrance of red plums, cranberries, raspberries and dusty, cedary oak reveals scents of white pepper and dried herbs, clove and cinnamon, mint and forest floor. Fine and reserved, with a delicate forward presence of small red and black berries backed by a chalky spine, it finishes with good but not great length, with a slightly sappy and herbal edge.The Australian Wine Annual 2014 Edition 2014
Jeremy Oliver (2010 Vintage) says
Elegant and tightly focused, this dusty, faintly herbal shiraz has the length and structure to flesh out nicely. Its retrained smoky and floral bouquet of dark berries, cherries, plums and cedar/chocolate oak is lifted by a meaty presence of animal hide and ethereal, musky spices. Long and supple, with a retrained presence of vibrant, faintly sour-edged fruit, it finishes with a gentle extract, fresh acids and a lingering fruitfulness.The Australian Wine Annual 2013 2012
Campbell Mattinson (2010 Vintage) says
Tasted under both cork and screwcap seal at a retrospective of Giaconda wines held in early 2017.
More black pepper here. Woodsmoke. Black cherry. Not a huge wine but it begs the word statuesque. Perfectly formed, supple tannin. If you wanted to know what Giaconda Shiraz is all about, this would be a great place to start. Cork-sealed likewise. Super Shiraz.2016 - 2023+
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2010 Vintage) says
Deep garnet-purple in colour. The 2010 Warner Vineyard Shiraz presents a wonderfully fragrant and complex nose of warm blackberries, wild blueberries and black raspberries with hints of pepper, dried Provencal herbs, cloves, aniseed, char-grilled meat and loam. Medium-bodied, the palate is both elegantly constructed and intense, with loads of black and red fruit flavour layers and a pleasant earthy and herbal streak. It is all framed by medium to firm rounded tannins as well as crisp acid and finishes with great persistence.2014 - 2024+Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Jeremy Oliver (2008 Vintage) says
Reflective of a warmer, riper season, this brooding shiraz is going to need plenty of time. Its peppery, spicy bouquet of deep red and black fruits, dark chocolate and gamey, cedary oak reveals hints of musk, blueberries and briar. Backed by powerful, fine-grained savoury oak, it's medium to full-bodied but densely packed with fruit and textural elements. Long and firm, still rather closed, it slowly reveals the extent of its length and depth, finishing meaty and savoury, but with a profound, lingering core of black and red fruits still tightly wound around its fine, grainy tannins.The Australian Wine Annual 2012
Matt Skinner (2008 Vintage) says
Rick Kinzbrunner's property in Beechworth is home to some of the most exciting wines in Australia including terrific pinot noir, shiraz from a number of local sites and Australia's greatest chardonnay. Out of the three shiraz wines, the Warner Vineyard remains our favourite; it's compact, dark, inky and intense with smells of macerated plums, ground coffee, smoked meat, spice and earth. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of sweet-berried fruit, spice and delicious mineral texture. Drink it with a butterflied leg of lamb off the barbecue.Matt Skinner's Wine Guide 2011
Nick Stock (2008 Vintage) says
This is the more fragrant and showy of the pair of '08 shiraz wines from Giaconda. Showing rich, meaty complexity, it needs plenty of air to unfurl and open up. Cinnamon-dusted game meats, dark fruits and meaty oak all roll out. The palate has plenty of flesh, with neatly defined tannins, dense and memorable, tangy acid crunch and plenty of plum and cherry-pip flavour; graphite to close.The Good Wine Guide 2011
Jeremy Oliver (2006 Vintage) says
Powerful, meaty and savoury, this substantial, complex and deeply layered shiraz slowly unfolds its concentrated expression of blackberry, blueberry, dark plum and cassis like flavour beneath a spicy, musky perfume of cracked pepper, smoked meats and cinnamon. It steadily becomes more pungent, opulent and accessible, as its firm, chalky palate yields more fruit sweetness and depth with aeration. Exceptionally long and complete — it's a statement of sophisticated winemaking intent. And it needs time!Australian Wine Annual 2010 2009
Nick Stock (2006 Vintage) says
Stunning soil- and site-driven purity, graphite and dark minerals, some smoke, a little tar; this is a savoury and complex shiraz with intense dried dark plum - sanguine almost. Starts out supple and builds meaty complexity as plum flavours unfurl, minerals and spice, the tannins spiral through the finish. Striking and soulful.Good Australian Wine Guide 2009 2008
James Halliday (2005 Vintage) says
Fine and focused black fruits; excellent length, finish and aftertaste.Australian Wine Companion 2009 2008
Jeremy Oliver (2005 Vintage) says
A massively proportioned shiraz by the standards of this vineyard, and one whose meaty ripeness and treatment with bruising, charry oak simply demands time in the cellar. It opens with exaggerated slowness to reveal deep, brooding, briary and brambly fruit and smoky, charcuterie-iike undertones. Closed down to the point of lacking personality at present, it ultimately reveals deep, spicy, seamless qualities and a superb, long-term structure. Don't be misled by its raw smokiness if you open it too early — simply wait a day or three.Australian Wine Annual 2008 2007
Jeremy Oliver (2004 Vintage) says
Heady, musky and exotically spiced, its ethereal and peppery perfume of blackberries, dark plums, cassis and mocha/dark chocolate oak has a meaty ripeness and an undercurrent of dried herbs. Full to medium in weight, its bright, briary flavours of sour-edged blackberries and dark plums reveal smoky, rustic and charcuterie-like nuances and spicy suggestions of licorice. The tannins are fine, drying and bony. Very seamless and balanced, It's complete, complex and savoury, with more than a suggestion of Hermitage.Australian Wine Annual 2007 2006

Despite 'Healthier' Options, Fast Food Is Still High in Calories
A trip to your local drive-through may present you with more options than you would have had a decade ago. Salads, oatmeal, fruit smoothies – at a glance it's easy to think that fast food restaurants have upgraded their typical fries and burger fare. However, a closer examination reveals that despite the explosion of 'healthy' options, fast food still will not do your waistline any favors.
Katherine W. Bauer of the Temple University Department of Public Health and Center for Obesity Research and Education led a study examining the calorie counts of offerings at eight popular fast food chains. The menu selections and average calorie counts of the last 14 years were tabulated and compared.
Knowing the Difference Between Good and Bad Cholesterol
The word cholesterol is associated with mostly bad connotations, but what not everyone knows is that there are both good and bad types of cholesterol and getting the balance right is crucial to our well-being.
Good cholesterol, known also as HDL or "High-Density Lipo Protein", is used by the body in order to clear other cholesterol and arterial plaques and carry them away from the major organs.
Is Bradycardia Unhealthy?
Bradycardia is a condition where the heart beats slower than normal. This reduction in the heartbeat can lead to a number of health problems and most of them are related to supply less oxygen rich blood to the various parts of the body. There are a number of reasons that can cause bradycardia and most of these reasons can be corrected without the help of surgery. The symptoms of bradycardia are related to the lack of oxygen.

Everybody has to get dressed each morning. Jason Sadler is no exception. But what makes Jason Sadler different from everyone else is that he gets paid to get dressed. Sadler is the head honcho—CEO and founder, if you will—of iwearyourshirt.com, a company that can best be described as a walking, talking social-media billboard business.
The business is simple, Sadler told a group at a recent Knowledge Is Power workshop, presented by Jacksonville Small Business Advantage and sponsored by Venture Plex (www.usventureplex.com). "Basically iwearyourshirt is this: You buy a day; I wear your shirt for that day; and I promote it via social media. I take photos and put them on Flickr. I make a video and put it on YouTube. I do a live video show every day on Ustream. I share it all with my Facebook and Twitter friends. I put it up on my Web site. That's my business."
And business is good. He started as a one-man walking billboard in September of 2008 and then sold all but one day of 2009. "I actually sold every day, but one company was going out of business and asked for its money back, so I took a day off," he told the group.
His pricing structure is as simple as his business model: In , on January 1, 2009, a company paid $1 for Sadler to wear its shirt—and to promote its brand. The price increased a dollar a day; the company that bought December 31 paid $365—2009's top price. In 2010, Sadler raised his price to $2 on January 1, with an increase of $2 a day thereafter. But, for the extra cost, buyers get extra exposure: Sadler's buddy in California, Evan White, wears the same shirt and does the same type of social-media promotions as he does.
The uniqueness of his business model has caught the attention of major news outlets, such as ABC News with Charles Gibson, CBS News with Katie Couric, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, and the L.A. Times, to name just a few. What is extraordinary about his success is that he has never advertised nor has he ever hired a publicist. He has become famous in the world of entrepreneurship just by doing one thing— using social media.
"Using social media the right way is very easy," says Sadler. "All you have to do is join the conversation; find the right platform; and—most important—be yourself." He gave the group seven tips on how they could work social media to their advantage, just as he has done for iwearyourshirt.com.
1. Choose the social media sites that are best for you. Select the ones your audience visits, and make sure they are a good fit for your business. "A lot of people try to find new and interesting social media sites. There are thousands of them. The point is to find things that work best for your industry," he says.
2. Adapt to your audience. Sadler says you can't just push messages out on the various social media. "My friends on Facebook are very different from my Twitter followers. I've got 21,000 Twitter followers; I've got over 4,000 friends on Facebook. I get many more clicks from things I put on Facebook because they are my friends, and I've met maybe 30% of them, and I adapt what I say to them."
3. Consider before you commit. If you are not using Twitter, which Sadler says is an extremely powerful tool ("I would never have been successful without Twitter," he says), don't just jump on it. Consider the people you are trying to reach; think about how you can tie Twitter into your whole marketing strategy. He suggests, "If you send out a flyer about an event, put on it, 'Follow us on Twitter.' Then give updates on Twitter."
4. Interact with your friends. More than 75 million people have Twitter accounts, he says. "I have 21,000 followers on Twitter. I try to interact with everybody. Don't just spit out messages; talk to people. The more you believe you are 'high and mighty' and everyone wants to hear what you have to say, the less people will want to hear about you. They want to be involved in the conversation.
Sadler emphasized the importance of interactivity by pointing out a company that gets 5 million unique views a day on its Web site, but only has 12,000 followers on Twitter. Why the discrepancy? "All they do is put RSS news feeds on Twitter," he says. "They never talk to anybody."
5. Attend to content, but don't forget context. "Content is king," says Sadler. "My business model is based on content, all of which is optimized for search engines. People can always find it, and it will live on the Internet forever." What Sadler posts to the Web is also contextual. He explains, "I give the content a voice. I give it my own personality. People come to listen to me talk about it and to watch videos of me doing fun stuff. That's what my followers want."
6. Make the most of pictures. "I've taken over 1,600 photos for Flickr," says Sadler. "People like looking at photos. It's an easy thing to do." Put them in your blog, Facebook, Twitter, in your e-mails.
7. Create videos. "I think video content is the wave of the future, the way businesses are going to grow audiences," he says. To demonstrate its effectiveness, Sadler said a video he posted a week before already had 16,000 views. "I recommend that if you are thinking about creating video, just make it good. A good video has a change to go viral."
Social media by itself will not do the job, however. "You have to put in the time," says Sadler. "I work 10 to 12 hours a day. I try to answer every one of the hundreds of e-mails I get. …I have a highly engaged, focused community, and I know that on a moment's notice I can ask people to do things for me because I deal with them every day."

ALBANY — Senator James S. Alesi, one of four New York State Republicans who voted in favor of same-sex marriage last year, is unlikely to receive the nomination of the main Republican committee in his district, setting the stage for a difficult re-election race that could have implications in the fight for control of the State Senate.
Two Republicans in Monroe County, where a majority of Mr. Alesi's district sits, said that Mr. Alesi, an eight-term senator, had no support from local party leaders, in large part because of a lawsuit that he filed last year against two of his constituents and that many considered frivolous. The Republicans, who requested anonymity to discuss a developing process, said that Mr. Alesi's support of same-sex marriage also was a factor, but that it was not decisive.
William D. Reilich, an assemblyman who is chairman of the Monroe County Republican Party, said town leaders told him they were not behind Mr. Alesi.
"They've expressed to me it would be difficult for the senator to receive their towns' endorsements," Mr. Reilich said.
This most likely means that at the Monroe County Republican nominating convention in May, the towns will not vote to endorse Mr. Alesi. That will make it more difficult for him to get on the ballot because he would have to collect signatures on his own, rather than with the help of the town committees, as is customary. But if Mr. Alesi does get on the ballot and wins a primary contest, he would become the Republican candidate in the general election.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Alesi, in an interview in his office here, acknowledged his quandary.
Yet he expressed confidence that the town committees might change their minds, and that he would win a primary and then the general election, even if the committees did not select him.
"If I'm in the general election, there's no question I'll win the seat," he said. "I know the district better than anybody. I've worked hard for 20 years. I have great relationships with every segment of the people I've served."
Other Republicans who favored same-sex marriage have seen some consequences.
The Republican committee in Wilton, the hometown of Senator Roy J. McDonald, endorsed a potential opponent. The Erie County Conservative Party endorsed a Democrat to challenge Senator Mark J. Grisanti. But, unlike the others, Mr. Alesi's marriage vote is not his greatest problem.
After entering a house in 2008 that was under construction and that he said he thought was for sale, Mr. Alesi broke his leg while climbing a ladder. The couple that owned the house did not file trespassing charges. But in January 2011, Mr. Alesi sued them for failing to maintain safe conditions. Outrage ensued, and Mr. Alesi withdrew his lawsuit.
Many town leaders are not supporting Mr. Alesi because they felt he exercised bad judgment in filing the lawsuit, Mr. Reilich said. But Mr. Alesi said he thought the lawsuit was just a front for conservatives upset that he supported same-sex marriage.
"I think you have a small handful of people that are vengeful and just have hatred in their hearts," he said. "They're so narrowly focused on — what I concede is a weak spot — the lawsuit; they're so focused on that as a weapon that they're losing sight of all the good things that I've done."
No Republicans in Mr. Alesi's district have formally announced they will run for the seat, but several party insiders have favored Assemblyman Sean T. Hanna. Mr. Hanna said that he had been approached about running for the seat but that he was in no hurry to make a decision.
With Mr. Alesi's moderate record, some have speculated that he would consider running as a Democrat. He denied that, but said that "if you lose a major party, then you've got to look for another major party."
Joseph D. Morelle, the Monroe County Democratic chairman, said he had spoken with Mr. Alesi in previous years about switching parties. Now, Mr. Morelle said, he would not take Mr. Alesi just to save his political career.
"There's no question it improves our prospects when there's an intraparty fight," he said.
Mr. Alesi said he was holding out hope that the Monroe Republicans would change their minds when they realized they were risking the Senate Republicans' slim hold on the majority.
There are more registered Democratic voters in Mr. Alesi's district than Republicans. The two senators who represented the district before he won the seat were Democrats.
"This is not a traditional Republican district," he said. "They can take me out in a primary and go around and bang their chests, but there's no guarantee they can win this seat, and this is why they're playing a dangerous game."
An article in some editions on Thursday about State Senator James S. Alesi, who voted in favor of same-sex marriage and is unlikely to receive the nomination of the main Republican committee in his district, described incorrectly the role the Monroe County Republican Committee plays in putting a candidate on the ballot. While the county party can endorse a candidate, candidates get on the ballot by submitting a petition with the required number of signatures from party voters in the district. It is not the case that the likely outcome of the Monroe County nominating convention is that "the towns will not vote to put Mr. Alesi on the ballot."

Thank you so much for coming to our website in search for "The Affluence Network Pr" online.
Many individuals choose to use a currency deflation, particularly those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal seclusion, for example, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; in case you are living paycheck to paycheck, it'd take place as part of your wealth, with the rest earmarked for other currencies.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company which could result in company being unable to continue to operate or to cease operation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is now the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the appropriate spot at the right time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet together these firms determine how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it repaired. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these problems are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any centered company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present inherent problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.

The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: as a result of character of the protocol by which it is transacted. All purchases on a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. After youare paid, you get paid. This is not something short-term where your web visitors can challenge or desire a discounts, or employ dishonest sleight of palm. In-practice, most professionals would be a good idea to utilize a cost processor, because of the permanent character of crypto currency purchases, you have to make sure that stability is tough. With any type of crypto currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your private tips and so take your cash. However, you almost certainly will never obtain it back. It is very important for you really to follow some very good safe and sound procedures when dealing with any cryptocurrency. This will guard you from many of these unfavorable functions.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of shares won.
If you are considering going it alone, it's worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter course. This option also creates a secure stream of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the reward.

It is definitely possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities regardless of marketplace behavior. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be acceptable.
It should be challenging to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having modest increases is more profitable than attempting to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in currencies that haven't made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making massive ammonts of cash with various kinds of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and lose out on very successful business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology.

Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but in addition they get involved in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables progressive dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain always leaves public proof that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for broadcast transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and validate these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can bring in transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is not to suggest that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is no requirement for big sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest occasions in the world market can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.
Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in money lending, it's a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, several of those websites you're required fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have rather poor liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a fair investment strategy.

Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more immune to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can readily be realized by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.

Recently, I decided to use the 2 books pictured above, There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick! and There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Frog! to target teaching my lower grade elementary students the concept of compare & contrast. For them, I introduced the skill as explaining similarities and differences. During one session, I read aloud one of the stories and we talked about the sequence of events. Then we briefly talked about how that book was similar to others we read earlier in the year. For an extension activity, my students completed this book with assistance.
Then another session, I read aloud the book, There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Frog! Then we talked about how that book was similar and different to the one that I read last session. Then they made their book.
Here is a picture of 2 completed Venn Diagram for this unit.
You can purchase your copy of the Historical Irish Americans unit in my TPT store so you can teach this skill to your speech-language therapy or language arts students. Click here for direct access to the digital download of this product!

Day 5: Facebook
I like facebook
I like facebook
I love facebook
Just keeping it real.
I do love facebook and I'm thankful for it.
Can't imagine life without it now. And yet somehow I managed to exist for 41yrs bfb
(before facebook)
Don't get me wrong, I too, like many facebook users get a little bit frustrated with the constant
changes and some of the issues surrounding privacy, but on the whole I really enjoy using
it and it has become a part of my everyday life. I look forward to going online.
But I won't lie. I didn't always feel this way.
Facebook and I used to have what I would call a love/hate relationship.
It was an offline again online again thing.
I have seen things on facebook which have shocked, surprised, disappointed,
hurt and annoyed me. None more so than when these things have
been done by people who I've called friends.
But I think I'm over that now.
I came up with an analogy to help me understand the behaviour of my friends
and now I see facebook like this...
Take 308 people and put them on a beach.
(308 is the number of facebook friends I have today, although
the number could change after they've read this)
A handful of those people will find a shady tree and sit beneath it, watching activities from a distance. Some may stoll along the boardwalk. A few will sit on deck chairs on the sand,
while others will go down to the waters edge.
Many will paddle and get their ankles wet. A few will
go in up to their knees. And finally
there will be those who go deep into the water,
completely in over their heads, and loving it.
Everyone of those 308 people will have a different experience on the beach.
And everyone will still have a good time.
The same is true of facebook
You'll have those who use facebook from afar. And those who are in over their head.
And there is nothing wrong with that. Facebook is as individual as the people who use it.
I used to get upset that my some of my friends don't interact on facebook
the same way that I do.But not anymore.
Some friends will communicate with me. Some won't.
I'm okay with that.
Now, I just see facebook for what it is. A great tool for communication.
Communicating is so much easier now.
And I'm thankful for anything
that makes for an easier life.
However, since facebook is always making changes, there is one change
that I'd like to make. The logo. I think it should be

The goal of optimization is to find a best solution for a problem. The word "best" means that there more than one solution for the problem and the mathematical model should explore the set of potential solutions in order to find the best one. The main categories of optimization problems can be subdivided as follows: continuous, discrete, constrained, and unconstrained. The bio-inspired optimization algorithms are computation methods inspired by nature. They have the ability to find good optimal solutions in reasonable time.
The generic mathematical form of most optimization problems is as follows:
Subject to
The components xi of x are called design or decision variables, and they can be real continuous, discrete or a mixture of these two. The functions fi(x) (where i = 1, 2, ..., I) are called the objective functions. The space spanned by the decision variables is called the design space or search space whereas the space formed by the objective function values is called the solution space or response space. The equalities for hj and inequalities for gl are called constraints. These constraints may be linear or nonlinear; likewise, they may be convex or nonconvex.
In the present work, three modern and powerful bio-inspired algorithms are applied to minimize the surface roughness in machining of Al Alloy SiC (AA7075/SiC). The remainder of this chapter is organized as follows: Section 2 describes the principles of ant colony optimization; Section 3 defines the fundamentals of particle swarm optimization; Section 4 presents the main concepts behind the cuckoo search and cuckoo optimization algorithm. The advantages, disadvantages and a survey on the applications of each algorithm are given in each of these sections. Section 5 presents the optimization problem of minimization of the surface roughness in machining Al Alloy SiC. Finally, the last section draws some overall conclusions.
The concepts of the ant colony optimization (ACO) were first introduced by Dorigo in 1992 (M. Dorigo, 1992). The ants live in a colony and have the ability to find the shortest path for finding foods. When moving, they use pheromones in order to communicate the route to the food to other members of the colony. A high concentration of pheromones in a path will increase the probability that the ants select that path. Therefore, each ant chooses the path according to the intensity of pheromones left on the way. Algorithm 1 summarizes the general pseudo-code of the ant colony optimization. The detailed mathematical models can be found in (Marco Dorigo, Maniezzo, & Colorni, 1996). Recently, Ismkhan (Ismkhan, 2017) improved the concepts of pheromones in order to speed up its execution. Other novel approaches are based on the fuzzification of the parameters to enhance performance (Liao & Su, 2017; Olivas et al., 2017).

For each ant Do

Not known Facts About heater repairA heat pump is surely an air conditioner where the refrigeration cycle can be reversed, developing heating as opposed to cooling from the indoor ecosystem. Also they are typically often called a "reverse cycle air conditioner". The warmth pump is significantly much more Power productive than electrical resistance heating.
Considering the fact that prehistoric instances, snow and ice had been employed for cooling. The small business of harvesting ice through winter and storing to be used in summer season grew to become well-liked towards the late 19th century.[3] This follow was replaced by mechanical ice-building equipment.
Pierre DuBose (1898-1994) intended a community of ductwork and vents for his property Meadowmont, all disguised driving intricate and attractive Georgian-fashion open up moldings.[when?] This setting up is thought to be one of the 1st non-public houses in The us Outfitted for central air conditioning.[12]
Nevertheless, There are many of components at Perform. For those who discover minimized airflow early on –rather then later on– choose the correct stage and also have it looked at right before other fatal A/C technique hurt can occur.
Some homeowners elect to possess a heat pump program set up as being a attribute of a central air conditioner. When the warmth pump is in heating manner, the indoor evaporator coil switches roles and will become the condenser coil, manufacturing warmth. The out of doors condenser device also switches roles to serve as the evaporator, and discharges cold air (colder compared to the ambient outside air).
My installer was pretty Specialist and offered worthwhile information regarding the maintenance from the air conditioner from year to calendar year. I actually appreciated Understanding regarding how to keep up the unit thoroughly. Indeed, I recommend this provider Verified Put in July 8, 2015

Refrigeration air con tools usually lowers the absolute humidity on the air processed with the process. The fairly chilly (underneath the dewpoint) evaporator coil condenses h2o vapor in the processed air, very similar to an ice-cold drink will condense drinking water on the surface of a glass.
Modern-day units might have a coefficient of functionality of about three (i.e., 1 kW of electrical energy will make 3 kW of cooling). A twin-hose unit attracts air to cool its condenser from outdoors rather than from read this In the space, and so is more effective than most one-hose units.

Counting again - dammit:
Thanks to all who commented. If you think I captured the experience I assure you it is because it is genuine
by CJ Maleney
As someone who has a little OCD (diagnosed by my 11 year old) I found this one rather gravitating.
I am actually in the middle of a novel where one of the main character has these compulsions, and has to count off in pairs. Just the reality and anxiety of an odd number is extremely eye-opening. It's a nightmare I'm sure people who live with this wouldn't wish on anyone, and you portrayed the struggle quite well, especially when it constantly gets in the way of everyday activities, always in the back of one's mind...

Larry, loved this. It's so true. The compulsions, the counting, all of it. You really nailed it with this write.

RAJEEV RAVIDAS, TT, Feb 24, 2018, Kalimpong: Two days ahead of the planned show of strength by the Binay Tamang faction of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha in Darjeeling on Sunday, a pro-Bimal Gurung youth leader of Kalimpong has dared Tamang to prove that he enjoys the support of the people by contesting the Lok Sabha election next year.
Breaking the long silence of the pro-Gurung group in Kalimpong, Biren Bhujel of the Yuva Morcha, the party's youth wing, accused Tamang of betraying the sacrifices of lakhs of Gorkhaland supporters by doing the bidding of the state government and settling for, what he derisively called, "GTA II". "We will not accept the claims of some people, who have been nominated to keep a watch (over GTA) for a few days, to be the leader of the people... We openly challenge Binay Tamang to contest 2019 Lok Sabha election (to prove he enjoys the support of the people)," he said in a release issued late Friday night.
Biren is the younger brother of Barun Bhujel, the former Kalimpong municipality councillor loyal to Gurung, who had died in a Calcutta hospital on October 25. He had been arrested at the start of last year's Gorkhaland agitation for his alleged involvement of arson and violence.
Biren's dare comes two days before the Tamang faction of the Yuva Morcha is slated to hold a public meeting in Darjeeling on Sunday to demonstrate its support among the people. The youth wing had announced its "show of strength" few days after the GNLF had organised an impressive public meeting in Darjeeling on January 28.
A pro-Gurung voice is being heard in Kalimpong after a long lull. Most senior Morcha leaders, including vice-president Kalyan Gurung and Kalimpong branch president R. B Bhujel, have preferred to lie low even as the Binay faction has been making all the noises. In fact, the Binay group occupies the party office located in the heart of the town.
"The agitation which started from the language protest witnessed bandh for 105 days, 29 days of hunger strike, 16 persons martyred, but all these came to naught because of Binay Tamang's selfish strategy," Biren alleged.

Work in Progress
by Eric Fortune
I have a few different pieces I'm currently working on. Here's what I've been spending my time on the passed few days. As you can see I have my photo ref posted up. If you're not into using photo reference or find yourself struggling with figurative issues, drapery issues, any other issues go get some reference. I highly recommend taking your own reference. This is consistently my most offered advice to art students besides "do art as often as possible".
One thing I've been doing lately which I find helpful is making a very low res version of my color comp that breaks down the image into large blocks of color. It makes for a nice palette guide.
I focused a lot of my initial time doing wet on wet washes on the background. I knew I wanted the background to be fairly dark and chromatic. Having these large dark areas blocked in early helps give me some relative sense of value for the figure and the rest of the piece. Painting on an all white surface can be rather misleading. Context is important and can often make things look dark enough when they should probably be darker. As you can see I've started in on the figure though she has a long way to go.
