The DNC board has, over the past 6 months has tried exhaustively to resolve a supposed conflict that has been created by associates of, and former associates of, CCAP. These associates are: Wendy Pedersen, Ivan Drury, Jean Swanson, Tami Starlight, and Herb Varley.
Members of the DNC board, and several members of the community at large have been asked to contact these 5 malcontents, and relay back to the board any specific complaints or charges that can be used to construct an impartial conflict resolution process.
All attempts to gain knowledge as to the details of this supposed conflict have failed.
It has thus been the decision of the board that no true conflict exists, and that these 5 malcontents are merely intent on destabilizing their former organization, the DNC.

Details: The model will remain on display, when not in use for special events, at the Dallas Center for Architecture, which is open to the public. The Park will be hosting a series of Brown Bag lunches throughout 2010 to invite the public and interest groups to learn about The Park.
Uptown Dallas, Inc. donated $350,000 to the Park in 2007 and has been a long-time supporter for the project as part of its overall goal to many green initiatives. Uptown Dallas, Inc. along with Downtown Dallas and Crescent Real Estate Equities, originally funded the landscape drawings to spark interest in the idea of a deck park connecting Uptown and Downtown. They engaged renowned landscape architect Jim Burnett, who was later selected by the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation to design the park with public input, including many Uptown residents and owners.
Fun Facts: What's Green About The Park?
The Park will add 5.2 acres of shared, public space to Dallas' city center, encouraging pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. A few examples:
- The Park will have 322 trees, 904 shrubs, 3,292 assorted plants
- Most trees will be the Texas-native Panache Red Oaks
- Other trees include Bur Oak, Pond Cypress, River Birch, Pistache and Lacebark Elm
- Plants will include 32 native Texas species
- There will be 40,000 square feet of lawn
- The Park's trees will sequester an estimated 7 tons of carbon per year at maturity
- The water features will use a water reclamation system and a double purification
- System substantially reducing the use of potable water and the disposal of "dirty" water
- Over 80% of the park is irrigated with a high-efficiency capillary irrigation subsurface system (KISSS) The high-efficiency irrigation system will limit water lost to overspray and evaporation. This will save about 350,000 gallons a year over a conventional overhead spray system
- High-efficiency LED lighting with a lighting management system has been incorporated and will result in annual savings of approximately 94,000 kilowatts of electricity
- Solar recycling and trash receptacles will compact the discarded material and saves on emptying frequency

It's All About A Mans Wardrobe
There are many things that we can't control; the weather, the economy, the fact that college football needs a playoff system. How we present ourselves to strangers and new acquaintances, however, is not one of them. When you shake hands with a potential partner, they form an instant impression of you which is not easily dislodged. First impressions are powerful because until we begin to speak, they are the only bits of information we have to make a snap decision as to whether we like or trust someone. Countless communication studies have shown a man's visual appearance is initially more powerful than what he says; ignore your wardrobe at your own risk.

Is The Place still open??? Haven't been there in years. I had forgotten all about it, we used to love to go there. We'll have to take the kids one of these days - that will be a whole different experience for us! :-)ReplyDelete
So fun. We have something like that here. They sell the best buffalo burgers around. And you have to sit on the side of a busy street if you want to it there LOL! I love how you describe things.ReplyDelete
I've got a few "greasy spoons" like this in my past as well. Places that look like no big deal and engender few to no expectations, and yet are among the best spots on earth to eat and hang out. Unfortunately, the best of them have been torn down, and the mediocre ones have been renovated into generic sterility.ReplyDelete

For $25 for each injector they will get flow tested, cleaned, and flow tested again. One guy on the InsightCentral forum had this done and his flow numbers between injectors vastly improved. Drivability was greatly improved too.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master's degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject. Earning a master's degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.

"A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014."
Maile: A little Valentine's Day "princess picture".
Once again, I didn't take many photos this week. I think I have a case of the Februarys, which are much like the Mondays. I'm aching for spring, and I know Maile is too. We've been a little testy with each other, and I'm working extra hard to take deep breaths, count, recite mantras, pray, as we attempt to overcome our cabin fever, together.
I do love this picture, though. There are few things better to me than when I have an idea for a photo, and Maile is equally enthusiastic; we both had fun with her little Love Day photo shoot.
Last week, I particularly enjoyed Gone Tribal, and Lou's photos. Please, pay their lovely portraits a visit.
Maile's dress was made by the talented Jess, of Dream Catcher Baby. The felt heart banner Maile holds was a sweet, handcrafted gift from my sweet friend Cristin, half of the duo behind Camp Wolf.

PLUS How to Get Your Life Back by Prospecting on LinkedIn
First of all, let's be fair… Cold calling used to work. I made cold calls back in the day and most of you probably did, too.
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words 'cold calling'?
Getting no where fast…
Disconnected by reception … again!
I felt that way too, and was relieved to finally stop cold calling after I discovered a better way to fill my sales pipeline. I learned that the best way to maximize my time was to build a relationship with the decision maker! And one way to get in direct contact with a decision maker is through LinkedIn.
In case there was any doubt…
- Cold calling doesn't work 90.9% of the time. (Source: Harvard Business Review)
- Less than 2% of cold calls actually result in a meeting being scheduled. (Source: Hubspot)
- Cold calling costs 60% more per lead than other, more effective methods like email marketing, social selling, and warm leads. (Source: Hubspot)
Is calling a prospect dead?
No… Phone conversations are not dying! Cold calling is.
4 reasons why cold calling is not worth your time:
- Poor Conversation Engagement
Only 28% of those cold called engage in conversations. (Source: Keller Research Center)
- No Responses
Around 9 out of 10 of top-level B2B decision-makers simply do not respond to cold outreach anymore. (Source: Kevin Scott, head of LinkedIn Sales)
- Social Media Impacts the Decision Making Process
75% of B2B leaders say that they regularly use social media in their decision making process. (Source: Kevin Scott, head of LinkedIn Sales)
- Personal Connections
Sales people are 4.2 times more likely to gain an appointment if they already have a personal connection with the buyer. (Source: Sales for Life)
BONUS: How to get your life back by prospecting on LinkedIn!
If you're selling a B2B product or service and want your life back, here's why you should create and build relationships with prospects on LinkedIn.
"LinkedIn is the number one social media platform for business professionals. It is 277% more effective for lead generation compared to Twitter or Facebook."
(Source: Hubspot)
Kenesis published an article with solid advice on how to be the most effective on LinkedIn.
Highlights include:
- Optimize your profile
- Identify prospects
- Do your homework
- Connect with your prospects
- Establish yourself as an expert, and
- Move connections to the real world (meaning get on the phone and talk with your interested prospects!)
We've also found it helps to:
- Create A LinkedIn Marketing Plan
Including identifying your demographic.
Join groups that your prospect can be found in and engage with them (this does not mean hard sales).
- Consistently reach out to your core prospects by sending them a customized and personalized LinkedIn connection message.
- Send a timely personalized 'thank you for connecting with me' message.
- Post articles on your profile from highly credible sources consistently.
- Create and post original articles to help build your credibility and show your expertise.
You can hire someone to write these for you and some companies already create them.
- Recognize your connections birthdays, anniversaries and new positions by sending them a quick message.
- Always keep track of what you're doing.
Track your leads (and their contact information).
And, as you're engaging don't forget the 80 / 20 rule…
LinkedIn engagement should always follow the 80 / 20 rule…80% education with only 20% sales pitch.
Your main goal is to create long-lasting relationships on LinkedIn with your perfect prospects and move them into real world engagement to close. The benefit will be getting your life back in terms of finances and time!
We're passionate about showing entrepreneurs and sales professionals like you how to attract predictable leads, clients, and revenue and fill your sales pipeline to the MAX with willing decision makers using LinkedIn lead generation. Click here to find out more!

It really is a lovely town. I'm not sure that I would want to live in it for longer than a few weeks at any given time, because it feels quite small, but the buildings are so beautiful and the histories of the colleges are fascinating. Last weekend, my class visited Bletchley Park and the American Cemetery in Cambridge (circa WWII), both of which were neat--particularly the former, which is the mecca of modern cryptology. A group of friends and I spent a day in London again: wandered around Shoreditch, got Greek food, wandered some more, etc. I could definitely live in London.
I am happy with my academic experience at Cambridge, though I cannot see myself doing a doctorate there. I am a huge proponent of interdisciplinary studies and cross-collaboration, and there is a remarkable amount of red tape present between departments and colleges in the British system... or at least at Cambridge. However, my professors within this program were excellent. Having the amount of discussion time with Christopher Andrew (one of the best Cold War historians there is, and current official historian for MI5) that I did was incredible, and having plenary lectures by Sir Richard Dearlove and James Pavitt was pretty great as well.
The formal dinners were certainly interesting. The appetizer soup on Thursday had a beet base, and included gems such as "vodka jelly" and "avocado sorbet" (and who knows what else.) It was definitely not what I was expecting out of English cuisine, that's for sure.
I am always grateful for experiences like my course at Cambridge because they remind me of how friendly, inquisitive, and profound other human beings can be. My favorite thing about traveling is so often the conversations that I have along the way, and seeing how much I have grown/learned/discovered by the time that they are done. Pubs are good for that. The English are doing pubs correctly.
And now, after much fanfare and ado, I find myself in Rome. Today is my first full day here, and so far I have successfully navigated public transport and bought groceries in Italian. I start my literature classes tomorrow. In bocca al lupo!

- 1 Now let us see what may be the reason for your failure at everything you do:
- 1.1 1. Do you argue and not interested to take a feedback?
- 1.2 2. Do you blame on other people and try to give an excuse when fail?
- 1.3 3. Fear to swim against the current and take the challenge:
- 1.4 4. Do you demotivate after a big set back?
- 1.5 5. Do you wish to get too much too quickly and when to fail instantly come to the mind -I am a failure:
- 1.6 6. Do you get too much distracted?
- 1.7 7. Do you lose your self-belief easily- just thinking I am a complete failure?
- 1.8 8. Do you suffer from Procrastination
- 1.9 9. Do you have a concrete planning?
- 1.10 10. Is it a big matter with you what other people think?
- 1.11 Recommended book from my favorite list for you:
I am a failure at everything I do; I feel worthless or I am a loser" – These are your feelings? Before I go into the topic just want to ask one question to you. How do you determine what failure is? What is the standard you consider something as a failure in life? Is it like trying something and not working for the first time? Do you rely only on your luck on success and failure? Then I can't help you. If you want to know the exact reason why you feel "I am a failure in life" then please keep aside those thinking first.
Kathryn Schulz wrote a whole book about being wrong, and advocates for us all to realize how prone we are to making mistakes and learn how to learn from them:
"Because we don't experience, remember, track, or retain mistakes as a feature of our inner landscape, wrongness always seems to come at us from left field."
Now take an example, consider you are in a desert hot land in the summer. The breeze is just blowing across the mirages above the sand. You are trying to cool down. Can you achieve cooling? Now if you think that – I am a big failure in life -then you may take a break here.
"Science is 99 percent failure, and that's an optimistic view," by Dr. Robert Lefkowitz, 2012 Nobel Prize winner spoke about the importance of failure in his research, said in a public conversation with President Richard H. Brodhead .
You only fail if you see t as a failure; if you see it as a lesson then you know how something doesn't work. You may try a new approach to overcoming failure until you achieve what you set out to accomplish.
Whenever I open news channel I found so many bad news, failures at everything, mishaps, suffering which actually present as breaking news. I think it is because our society likes to see failure than people doing great things. As a result there we keep our standards low and shallow, forbid we actually think we can create change in our life because of it our own or that of someone else. Hope it is clear to you that failure is your viewpoint.
Now let us see what may be the reason for your failure at everything you do:
1. Do you argue and not interested to take a feedback?
I personally feel disappointed whenever anyone gives a feedback on my failure or way of work. After some time I found some of their words are really useful. Actually, when I start arguing with the people want to help me with its clear indication of giving up. This cloud be one reason for your next failure. So next time whenever you receive a feedback accept it and think about it rather only think I am a failure.
"The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows."
– Buddha
2. Do you blame on other people and try to give an excuse when fail?
This is very practical and common issue I can realize. Whenever my boss fired me for not get the assignment, I start to give a lot of excuse and blame on the system and other staff. Being a failure, do you follow the same thing. But think positively I am actually failed here to meet my goal. When I analysis deeply on what excuse and blame we give to my boss, we can get the answer of my failure what I missed out to take action from my end for preventing the failure. If I forget my responsibility towards my failure then I can't succeed.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
― Thomas A. Edison
3. Fear to swim against the current and take the challenge:
Do you ready to take a calculative risk when need to go against everything to meet your target? This is exactly where we fail to take the opportunity and forget how to deal with failure. Everyone likes to swim with the current, but very few have the courage to swim against the current. The magic is that most of them are succeeded to get what they want. I am not saying you to go every time against the current but sometimes it really needs to take the challenge and leave the feeling of failure. Pursue that risk that aligns with your inner strengths and talents.
"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."
― Winston S. Churchill
Take a break and check the bellow infographic I have made for you on famous failure stories to understand why failure is important in life and don't demotivate yourself by thinking only I failed in life or I am a loser in every step of life.
Don't forget to share the infographic with your friends..!! Read some failure to success quotes.
4. Do you demotivate after a big set back?
I failed at life now what? Sometimes when I failed a bad feeling cone in mind-" I hate god " or "God hates me". It is quite natural to keep motivated after a big setback. But thinking negatively about yourself after failure will make you more prone to failures. Whenever a failure occurred you probably ask your self " I have failed in life" but know what to do now, but the problem is you not try hard to take the action as you lost self-motivation. Here is a complete guide for you how you can motivate yourself after a big setback.
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
– Albert Einstein
5. Do you wish to get too much too quickly and when to fail instantly come to the mind -I am a failure:
Before I have start blogging I was in a big dilemma that I can make huge money online. Believe me, the friend I was wrong, even after so many days I have not get a single penny from this blog. So where was my fault, I actually think it easy and want to get a lot of money so quickly. Dream big is good but the problem is aiming high without considering the dedication, effort and work it takes each day to come at any point to your target. So it is better to set a small milestone and keep motivating by achieving those to get higher goal rather thinking why God hates me only!
"Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success."
– Robert T. Kiyosaki
6. Do you get too much distracted?
Getting too much distraction could keep you away from the original focus and productivity. Analysis of why you failed and what better you can do without distraction from your goal. In this situation, if you keep in touch with negative people and negative thought then things become more critical. Sometime you may think –I hate my life! You may notice that when you get distracted from your goal you are doing a lot of unnecessary activity like checking emails in regular intervene or check your Facebook page or start discussing on your co-worker. If you continuously switch from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram to email, you'll lose sight of what is really important. This all reduces your productivity and create some more failures.
"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got."
– Mark Twain
Watch my favorite video on success and failure stories :
Read when feel like I am a failure:
10 Questions to ask yourself when you are not getting the things you want
30 Top Positive Phrases and Sentences You Must Add With Your Life Today
7. Do you lose your self-belief easily- just thinking I am a complete failure?
Sometime you must ask yourself –"am I depressed?"If you believe that "it is not possible " then you could not achieve it. One major difference between successful and unsuccessful people is they believe in themselves what boost their inner power to reach the target. If you don't know your ability to find the solution then you must fail here. You can learn here to boost your self-confidence and make a practice. Your family, friends always want you to do well and continue to stand behind you if you fail in the first attempt. But remember they also celebrate your success too and you know very well that failure is essential to learning. If you recall the last Rio Olympic 2016 when Sakshi Malik had shown us how she makes the success.
"Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure."
– Napoleon Hill
8. Do you suffer from Procrastination
Successful people make the difference as they have the ability to avoid procrastination. It helps them to keep a constant level of productivity. If you aren't able to get started on the things you wish to do or as soon as you confronted a problem or difficulties then you are suffering from it.
"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently."
— Henry Ford
9. Do you have a concrete planning?
If you don't know what you actually want and the plan to get the same then failure is obvious. The plan may be not so perfect but if you don't have the plan then it is a critical issue. Without it, you can't go near to your target. To prevent failure at everything you need to update your plan from time to time, fail to do so will take you towards failure.
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying. — Michael Jordan
10. Is it a big matter with you what other people think?
Do you really make all your decision on your own? Generally, we choose things based on a pre convinced idea of what's acceptable by others or how they react or say about us. Isn't it? What other people think is a big concern on the feeling of failure. It can create an inability to do anything at all because we can think about is the reaction of everybody else. We choose things with everyone else in mind except ourselves.
"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
— Thomas Edison
Stop thinking such as – I have failed in life or I am a total failure. Now it's your turn whether you want to choose success or avoid common issues of failure at everything you do. You can add more points if you want, in the comment below. If you think this post is useful, then please share with your friends.

Creepy Circus Haunted House
Step right up for the best show in town! The bright blue and yellow stripes on this 10'x20' World's Greatest Circus Tent warmly welcomes your guests to the circus.
But this isn't any circus....it's the circus of your nightmares! Posters and wall hangings of a juggler, ringmaster, muscle man, and a two-headed lady line the walls as creepy circus music and market lights bring the tent to life. As you enter the tent, you'll have to navigate your way through hanging bowling and question reality when you look into the distorted funhouse mirrors. A circus wouldn't be complete without clowns, and there are no shortage of them in this haunted circus! Wacko the clown will greet you by slowly swaying side to side and giving you the side-eye. Turn the corner and you'll see an adorable over-sized building block. Just when you start to question the placement of this adorable over-sized building block, (or when you break the sensor beam), the lid of the box quickly flips open and out pops an even scarier clown. BOO!
What's included in the Creepy Circus Haunted House Rental?
We desinged these custom portable Haunted Houses in-house and you won't find them anywhere else! The Creepy Circus haunted house is priced for 3 hours and comes fully loaded with animatronic clown props, light-up wall hangings, market lights, themed music, and professionally made haunt props. If you don't have access to power, we'll include all necessary generator(s). A complimentary Haunt Host is included with your reservation to welcome guests to your Circus. Want to keep the circus going? Each additional hour (after 3 hours, included in price), is $150.
How Can I Make It Scarier?
Consider adding one of our LIVE character clown entertainers to hide in the back and scare guests as they turn the last corner. It will be the last thing they are expecting!
Price for 3 hours is $300, and each additional hour is $100.
Is the Creepy Circus Appropriate for All Ages?
We suggest scaring kiddos age 6 and older for this one. The hanging bowling pins do have (fake) blood on them and could be scary to the younger kids, but other than that-- it's just a bunch of pop-ups and "boo" moments. If they adore clowns, this may not be their jam.
I Want to Rent Multiple Haunted Houses. Can You Give Me A Price Break?
YES-- we want to scare you as much as possible! Each of our five Haunted Houses (Spooky Swamp, Creepy Circus, Grim Graveyard, Pirate Ship, and Haunted Mansion) are priced at $1200 for three hours. Rent two for $1000/each, and three or more for $750/each! Call us at (858) 560-2700 and we'll help make your nightmares come true.

shards – dverse
our words shatter, crystalline daggers
wounding where they fall
dispersed randomly across the sample
molecules are mostly space,
how can they be sharp?
words are nothing at all, but cut deeper still
I place each bare foot carefully
treading the path of peace
but chaos can rarely be predicted
Our experiment implodes
not surprised, not unexpected
for after all
we plan for maximum effect
mutual assured destruction
Words for me can cut deep ~ Treading the path of peace is a worthy goal ~
molecules are mostly space, / how can they be sharp? — it's great, it's like that pause in an excessively tumultuous argument where one detaches into intellectualism. I like the bits of statistical terminology sprinkled in too, they give a sense of the narrator's life beyond the poem.
but chaos can be expected, no matter how gingerly we try to walk
mutual assured destruction—gotta be one of the saddest terms
of our generation

Sidelined Sideways
April 4, 2011
I have not been following WW 😦 I have been working out more 🙂 But now I've hurt my back. I'm nervous about not working out (and being way more sedentary than usual) as I heal, so I am going to focus extra hard on intuitive eating. I just bought Katie's new ebook on emotional eating, and I am excited to use the tools she suggests 🙂
Cliff's Notes of what I did to myself: Hurt my back in BodyPump week Thursday, but thought it wasn't too bad so stuck around for Kickboxing. Had pain on and off for a few days, and then could hardly move on Tuesday. Went to the doctor and she gave me pain killers & muscle relaxers. She says that I had a strain, which is causing spasms, which is causing reactive scoliosis. My back is totally bent now – My upper body is four inches over from my lower body. Here's a realistic artist's interpretation:
LESSON LEARNED! If something doesn't feel right (particularly in your back), take it easy! And certainly don't choose that moment to start an intense workout you've never tried before!
In conclusion, I am going to take it easy movement wise and work on intuitive eating. I'm still excited about the marathon, and I'm trying to see this detour as an opportunity to focus on my eating and weight loss while I take a break from running. And I may buy stock in the company that makes Icy-hot – that stuff's amazing!
Hope everyone's doing well! I miss bloggin and hope to be on much more the coming weeks!

The heat never bothered Rachel Garcia anyway.
In sweltering Oklahoma City, UCLA's workhorse pitcher threw two complete games in as many hot and humid nights to lead the third-seeded Bruins to Sunday's 12:30 p.m. national semifinal against No. 6 Florida State.
Despite UCLA's games starting well into the night in Oklahoma City, temperatures were still close to 90 degrees at first pitch. Garcia then threw 273 total pitches during the two victories.
After upsetting No. 2 Florida on Friday, Garcia could only grin when asked of how her body felt.
"My body feels pretty good," Garcia told reporters about a half-hour past midnight in Oklahoma City. "This weather, I think it's great. There are pros and cons to it, but the heat's actually not bad.
"But, yeah, the day off (Saturday) does sound pretty great."
Garcia needs as many days off as she can get, as the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year has UCLA within one win of a spot in the Women's College World Series championship series. The Bruins (58-5) have two tries to get one win Sunday against the Seminoles to advance to their first national final since 2010. After losing to UCLA in the opening round, Florida State survived two elimination games Saturday, including an upset over top-ranked Oregon.
ESPN analyst Danielle Lawrie called Friday's game a "must-win" for UCLA on ESPN's studio show because it allowed the Bruins to avoid extra elimination games and a possible doubleheader Saturday that would have put extra strain on Garcia.
Unlike World Series teams like Washington, Oregon and Oklahoma, UCLA does not have two star pitchers. Therefore, the Bruins will likely play their ace at every turn.
Garcia has pitched 56 1/3 of UCLA's 62 1/3 postseason innings. Freshman Holly Azevedo (six innings pitched, five hits, two earned runs) is the only other pitcher to get the ball. When the Bruins needed to win twice in one day to advance out of the regional round, Garcia threw two complete games in a six-hour span.
"She's a beast," head coach Kelly Inouye-Perez said of Garcia afterward.
Garcia didn't pitch during a nine-game stretch from late March to early April, which allowed her to be rested for the postseason, the coach said. Entering the NCAA tournament, Garcia had pitched 40.3 percent of UCLA's innings after she threw 47.3 percent of the time last year.
Teammates joke if you're ever looking for Garcia, you're guaranteed to find her in the trainer's room or the ice bath. The offseason addition of an off-speed pitch allows the Palmdale native to lay off her 70 mph rise ball when needed during long appearances.
Inouye-Perez conceded Garcia missed some pitches against Florida. The Gators hit three homers off Garcia after the pitcher had allowed only six all year. The Bruins battled back, scoring six runs despite recording only three hits.
Along with having the best player in the country in Garcia, the Bruins back the ace up with the fourth-highest scoring offense in nation.
"We've been very offensive throughout the season, but she's carried a lot of the burden," Inouye-Perez told reporters in Oklahoma City. "It's so awesome to see a team have a pitcher's back like that."

Welcome! This is my debut post for this blog. I was thinking of starting off with something serious. Then again, life is short, play hard. Perhaps a few posts later, I will show you how I transferred my cellphone contacts to my new iPhone.

I might have gotten further on these but I had a couple small projects to finish up. I'm still pretty happy with the progress though … plus I keep getting distracted by squishing the knitting.
I've been playing a lot of XCOM and a little of Dragon Age: Origins. I restarted my XCOM game and I'm happier with the progression so far. I'm getting closer to that balance of buildig up and moving forward that I need.
The Plant by Stephen King. It doesn't feel like a King novel so it's a little odd at times. But I'm nearly done and have mostly enjoyed it

I am what you might call a photography nerd, of sorts. I'm always the one with the camera capturing important moments while on vacation, at family functions, and at other memorable events.
As you may know, there are a ton of digital SLRs on the market. But after exhaustive research I have found the Nikon D7000 to be the top choice on the market.
Here's why: The Nikon D7000 features the following:
- High Resolution 16.2 MP DX-format CMOS sensor
- High Speed 6 frames per second continuous shooting up to 100 shots
- Breathtaking Full 1080p HD Movies with Full Time Autofocus
- Dynamic ISO range from 100 to 6400
- Body only; lenses sold separately
Much more, it has full 1080p HD movie capabilities, which makes this camera a full photo and video solution!

Personal finance is stressful for most people. Educating yourself about the best way to handle your money can ease the stress. This article will show you how to manage your personal finances effectively.
In order to save money when eating in a foreign country, try the local food. Your hotel restaurant, and any other restaurants in tourist areas, are likely to be way overpriced, so do some research and find out where the locals eat. Food that is higher in quality and lower in price can always be found.
Keep informed of world events so you are on top of any changes to the global market. A lot of people tend to ignore important world news which can impact their own financial situation at home. Knowing what the world is doing right now will help you to come up with a better strategy and will help you to better understand the market.
Creditors like to see borrowers manage more than one credit account; it is important, however, to keep this number under four. Using one card can take a while to improve your credit, while using over four cards can represent a lack of being able to manage finances effectively. Begin with just two cards to raise your credit; you can always add more when it becomes necessary.
Health Insurance Policy
You can start to get your finances in order with a good health insurance policy. Everyone is bound to get sick at one point or another. This makes it vital that you have a good health insurance policy. It doesn't take long for medical bills to add up, and even a minor health problem can be very costly. If you aren't insured, you will be paying a large amount of money.
Do not pay the full price for anything. Forget about your attachment to specific brands and instead buy what you have a coupon for. Detergent and soft drinks are great examples of products you can get deals on if you open yourself up to new brands.
Replace old incandescent light bulbs with CFL light bulbs. This kind of bulb will help you reduce your electric bills significantly. CFL bulbs typically last longer than regular light bulbs. You will have fewer bulbs to buy, which will save you money.
Money Aside
When you get paid, the first thing you need to do is put some money into savings. Saving the money that is "leftover" will leave you with zero savings. Setting this money aside right away, makes it out of sight and out of mind. It becomes easier to see what remaining amount you have to spend, therefore, you will be less likely to be tempted to use it on a whim. You will also not be giving yourself a chance to forget to set some money aside.
The majority of new products include a warranty of between 90 and 360 days. If you are going to have a problem with your item, most likely it will occur during that time frame. Extended warranties only serve to profit the company you bought them from.
Credit cards can be a great way to pay for items. Once your card is approved, you can use it for every day purchases, like food and fuel. By purchasing items with your card, you will usually gain rewards, such as cash or maybe even frequent flier points.
Don't take a lot of student loans out if you're not expecting to be able to pay them off in the near future. Private schools can be very costly to pay off.
If you want to avoid ruining your finances with credit card debt, the best method is to just avoid using them. Think carefully before making any charge to your credit card. Before deciding to make a purchase using a credit card, you should consider the amount of time and the interest that will be charged if you complete the transaction. If you cannot pay it in full in one month and it isn't completely necessary, you ought to avoid it.
You can see a decrease in your credit score as you are making repairs. You may not have done anything to hurt it. Keeping good information in your credit report will help your score increase over time.
Craft your own home-made Christmas gifts to save a good amount of money. This can lower your visits to stores and save you hundreds during the holidays. Your goal here is to reduce the cost of gifts and increase what you have left in savings after the holidays.
If a person is always ending up with single dollar bills left in their pants pockets from getting change they can use them in a fun way to possibly increase ones personal finances. Saving up change can then be used to buy lottery tickets.
You can sell old items for a little extra money every week. When electronics are working, or you can repair them, they sell for better money than broken. You'd be surprised at what old laptops sell for, it won't make you rich, but it can put some money in your pocket.
Replace old incandescent light bulbs with CFL light bulbs. This kind of bulb will help you reduce your electric bills significantly. In addition, CFL bulbs have a longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs. You will purchase fewer bulbs, so you will not spend as much money.
Personal Finances
As stated initially in this article, managing your finances can sometimes be stressful. Getting your personal finances under control will also help you to control money-related stress. The solid advice in the article above will help you feel confident about handling your personal finances.

Murdered Maltese journalist's final written words: "The situation is desperate"Posted by Jim at Wednesday, October 18, 2017
By Luke Harding, David Pegg, and Juliette Garside
17 October 201
(The Guardian) – In her last blogpost, published the day she died, Daphne Caruana Galizia signed off with a sentence that seems particularly chilling now.
"There are crooks everywhere you look. The situation is desperate."
Caruana Galizia, 53, felt she had good reason to feel pessimistic about Malta, and her enemies had good reason to fear her. Someone, it seems, was worried enough to want her silenced.
In that last post, which appeared just before a bomb blew up the car she was driving, Caruana Galizia had taken aim, and not for the first time, at Maltese politicians. But they were far from the only people in the firing line.
She believed, in essence, that malign and criminal interests had captured Malta and turned it into an island mafia state; she reported on a political system rife with corruption, businesses seemingly used to launder money or pay bribes, and a criminal justice system that seemed incapable, or unwilling, to take on the controlling minds behind it all.
Proof of her fears included the 15 mafia-style assassinations and car bombings that have taken place on the island in the last 10 years – and, ultimately, perhaps, her own murder too. […]
Caruana Galizia's investigation was built on documents uncovered in the Panama Papers, published in April last year. [cf. The Panama Papers: Politicians, criminals, and the rogue industry that hides their cash; How Panama became a tax haven to the world – 'This has been going on for so long, and is so obvious and problematic, that the question is, "How come nothing was done about it before?"'; 300 economists urge leaders to reject tax havens – 'While all countries are hit by tax dodging, poor countries are proportionately the biggest losers']
Among the many names of government officials were two Maltese politicians: Keith Schembri, chief of staff to Muscat, and Konrad Mizzi, the country's energy minister.
Both had set up similar structures, involving Panamanian companies owned by New Zealand trusts.
The allegation: the trusts were used to receive kickbacks from rich Russians who bought Maltese passports. The publication led to street protests and caused disquiet in Brussels. [more]

March 23 ~ After a night in New Jersey, Edwin continued his spring migration north and headed towards New York. He crossed the Hudson River in Manhattan around noon, and passed though Queens and Huntington, then turned north across Long Island Sound. In the early afternoon, Edwin reach Bridgeport Connecticut and followed the shoreline waterways east, eventually reaching two of his favorite hunting grounds. He stopped briefly at the Hamburg Cove area of the Connecticut River, then reached the Niantic River by early evening and remained for the night. After a migration that began on February 26 in Brazil, Edwin was back!
March 24 ~ Early in the morning, Edwin began a loop from nearby Latimer Brook, to Waterford, Orient Point NY, and the mouth of the Connecticut River in Old Saybrook. He then spent the late morning and early afternoon between the mouth of the river and the Old Lyme shoreline. Mid afternoon Edwin returned to the Niantic River and nearby Latimer Brook in East Lyme. He then spent the rest of the day between the upper stretches of Latimer Brook and the Niantic River, then settled at Darrow Pond for the night.

Having decided today to get on with writing an e-book on home based business building, I started to find excuses for not getting started. Then I started to question whether I should be doing this, whether I had anything worth saying, etc etc – the old writer's block. I recalled something I'd heard the other day about Rudyard Kipling's "six honest serving-men" that apparently helped him get writing.
I looked up the reference and found this from "The Elephant's Child": I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who. So now I have no excuse!

29 June 2008
what is the right word ? Anniversary ?
there can't be an anniversary of a disaster.
i very much doubt if the news papers or the TV will remember the event, even if they do, they would ignore it. Because the event speaks of a God who doesn't seem to be in control of his creations.
Tunguska is in central Siberia, the people are TUNGUS ??Tunguskans ??, not sure please check.
In the early morning hours of 30th June 1908, a ball of fire entered the earth's atmosphere. Seconds later, there was an explosion of unimaginable magnitude followed by a heat shock wave which swept the villagers off their feet. No deaths. None reported. The explosion happened miles and miles away from the villages in a fur forest of central Siberia. 2000 sq kilometers of fur forest was burnt. The entire forest was leveled.
There was no crater.
The shock wave was felt all over Europe.
What happened ?
No one knows for Sure.
There are only theories.
Most plausible one is that a fragment of comet hit the earth at 70, 000 miles speed.
No crater, i repeat. And no trace of any radio active material.
Such accidents keep occuring every second in our universe, multiverse.
We have more than one universe.
The funniest thing is.
No one went to the crash site for 20 years. No one cared.
Russia was ruled by the Czars in 1908 who never cared for the poor and Tunguska is so far and so remote in a very hostile Siberia, the Tunguskans never existed for the rest of the world.
Please check the details on the net. i am talking about something else here.
We have planets, we have stars and we have galaxies, not one or two but trillions and trillions of galaxies like ours. In between the space, there are rocks floating, metal, dust, fragments of comets, pieces of ice, pieces, yes pieces the size of Nepal or Switzerland. The one that hit Tunguskan forst was tiny,
just the size of a football field.
These fragments keep hitting planets every second.
Would you smile if i say some fragments of icy comets are diamonds ?
Yes they are.
i hear God's voice
Hey rauf you are greedy, do want a diamond ?
yes God, Yes God
a burning ball of diamond as big as state of Texas falls on my house at 70, 000 miles speed
a gift from God
i can be very rich selling that diamond.
How lucky!
'oh Shit ! its a diamond'
rauf said that a minute ago
where is rauf ?
i'll be quoted in famous last words on the net.
Luckiest man on earth i'll be.
rauf is buried under a diamond ?
Scientists who later investigated Tunguska found diamonds in the forest leveled by the explosion.
God created everything ?
Our 4.7 billion years old planet Earth is just a tiny spec of dust in trillions and trillions of galaxies.
Chances of another hit are remote. But the scientists say this happens once every hundred years.
Is God who created everything in control of his creations ?
Must be a very irresponsible God. A mischievous child.

What an interesting incident. It is strange, isnt it, that there are many impacts, but they occur mostly in the oceans or in uninhabited areas? Quite interesting too that if it had happened 4 hours later, the air burst would have been over St Petersburg and hence wiped it out compeltley. Also quite unusual that it burst in the air just before it would have hit the earth. That impact, on land, was what eventually completely wiped out most life in the dinosaur era.
the power in this Universe is awesome.

I'm small, but in my mind I'm the most important thing. I see everything through these eyes, and they send messages to my brain, I hear through these ears, feel through these nerve endings. Even if I focus on others, put their needs before mine, help and serve, I am filtering everything through ME. So why wouldn't I be the center of the multiverse? Why wouldn't I create God, who focuses on me, loves me, approves or disapproves my behavior? I create God because it's how I survive. I have to make meaning out of this chaos.
That's how I feel about the creation of religion. But I have no wish to argue with anyone who believes in one, follows one.
Who have you been talking with these 3 months, rauf? Some religious people?

Dear Rauf, I'm glad you're back and are alright. I'm sorry if I ever offended you because if I did I didn't do it on purpose. I had never heard of Tunguska and enjoyed your post. Stay well. You are an amazing person.

Dear JUDY, people like to believe that Tsunami never happened, hundreds thousands of innocent lives lost. If this is a 'WILL OF GOD' i wouldn't like to believe in such a God. 'God's ways are mysterious' is an answers priests give when they don't have any answers. People have free will, we all would like to stop evil, but have we ? We couldn't stop wars, bloodshed, atrocities, poverty, hunger, suffereing, disease or floods and earthquakes. These don't speak well of any God for that matter. This is not free will Judy. i am using the Tunguska event to express my feelings. Things go out of control here on this planet and in the multiverse, we have more than one universe and it is constantly expanding. For what ? i don't know.
Now i am sort of settled Judy, i was without phone and internet, sitting on a pile of debris, doing up my room, when internet came my putter went kaput. Things are okay now but far from perfect. Hope you are doing well.

MYSTIC ROSE, Few days ago, a running ceiling fan fell on my older sister, it fell when my sister leaned a bit forward, she was reading news on the internet. The weight of the fan fell on the back rest of the chair, hearing screams i rushed down to the floor below and saw my sister sitting in a state of shock and the fan blade resting on her head. No injury. None. Now i went into a shock.
It just happened though i would like to say she had a miraculous escape. i immediately went out and bought a table fan for her. She is 65.

Actually RUTH, there is no point in arguing. Its better not to argue. Belief is a belief and we have to leave it at that. None in past 3 months Ruth, but religious people, priests always come for friendly chat, but discussions always end up in smiles and hugs. i've had only a couple of bad experiences with friends. But these discussions have not affected our friendship.
A person would believe if he wants to believe. For instance the story about Beethoven being circulated in the net is completely untrue but people want to believe in it and they circulate it.
Let He Who is Without Sin Cast the First Stone
This story of Jesus Christ is completely fabricated and is not there in the original text of St. John's Gospel.
This story was added to the Bible 400 years later. But who wants to know the truth ? People WANT to believe in it and they believe in it even if it is false, they don't want to know.

Hi VISHESH, some times i use humour to mke a point. What do we do if we get a Tsunami of petrol ?
a gift from God.
Its better to be queit about God and follow all the rituals parents tell you. Peace at home is first priority. You can discuss these matters with like minded friends.
People get very emotional about this subject. Heated arguements always end up in bitterness. Please be careful in choosing people for such discussions. It hurts a lot and people are very touchy when it comes to beliefs and religion.

oh CLAUDIA, how can a soft sweet and gentle person like you offend any one ?
i sincerely apologice for my late response. Shifting back to my newly built place (i had no part in it, done by the younger generation) making changes, making my place livable took time. i was without internet and telephone for over 4 months. Now i am slowly crawling back to shape, rather normalcy is crawling back to me.
i read your 'goodbye' post and there were no entries after that and i kept checking for some time.
By the time you started posting i disappeared from blog scene with no internet. And when the net was restored, my computer refused to behave. i decided to be patient with the things happening around me, i had no option any way, had to be patient, not every thing was pleasant. My laziness had a big part in it. i was not in a hurry to get back to normal state of living. Now i am nearly settled in the new place, still refusing to accept changes in my life, though technically a better place, but i lost the atmosphere i had built over a period of 48 years which my friends used to love.
i was very eager to know your husband's experience of India. Hope you and your husband
Ana and Clara are doing fine and i hope Rose is still around. Girls normally keep them safe in a secret box which they carry to their husband's house and no one is allowed to touch it. Do you have a secret box Claudia ?
Listening to Invicta FM coming from Kent i think.

Oh, dear Rauf! How wonderful to hear from you again! I missed you!You are such a kind and good person. I've been going through some rough times since December, when my best friend (Iznogood, who commented on my blog) was stabbed to death in his own home. He was one of the most important people in my life and the brutality of the loss almost drove me to insanity. I'm slowly trying to get back to normal but it's not easy: a couple of months ago, Clara's best friend, a sweet 8 year old whom I've grown to love, was diagnosed with a rare and virtually incurable form of leukaemia. She has been undergoing very painful treatment and the suffering is impossible to describe. She's a wreck but she's also a tough fighter who desperately wants to overcome all this and play with her friends and go to school again.
It must be very difficult for you to leave your old place. When a house is in the family for so long, it has so many memories attached to it, it becomes a piece of us just as we become a piece of it. My grandmother died last week and we have to return the house where she lived since 1939 to the landlady. It's the place where my mother was born, where she grew up and lived, where me and my sisters grew up and lived, the setting of all big family and friend gatherings. It hurts to let it go. But life goes on and it's good and right that is so. Only the fond memories remain.
My husband really liked Mumbai - that is all he saw of beautiful India. He said he'd like to be back one day to travel around the country some more. He brought me back a beautiful embroidered cloth.
Ana and Clara are fine as is Rose, who still sleeps next to Clara.
I do have a box that has travelled with me throughout life. Don't we all? Too painful to open.
Sorry for the long comment, Rauf.
Please be well.

Dear CLAUDIA, i can't even say i understand your feelings, i can't even imagine what you went through, its easy for me to say a few words of comfort, you would just gape at my words and the words your friends speak to comfort you. Only you understand the impact of the loss of your friend. i just wish you have the courage to deal with such a tragedy. When i think of Clara's friend, i just wonder why, i keep asking why this should happen to an innocent child. Sometimes i disagree with Richard Dawkins. Though i don't have faith and don't believe in any God, when i hear about such a tragedy a prayer just comes out involuntarily. i just wish a miracle for the child. Hope she goes back to the school to play with her friends soon. We refuse to learn from such tragedies. The loss the place where i grew up, my possessions are so meaningless. i feel ashamed. Yes memories are precious, sad sweet painful, happy. i am sorry to hear the loss of your grand mother.
Today was a day of learning, learnt a lot in the story of stuff, thank you for posting it Claudia. Wish i had watched the clip when i was writing the SPEED series on Environment.
Hope you would visit India soon with husband and children i would love to be your host in Chennai.

Hi AAARTI, walking and shopping in Bangalore ? please watch this clip, which Claudia posted a few days ago
please be patient and let the thing load, its worth the wait. its witty and serious. After watching this clip you would
give me all the things you shopped in Bangalore.
Tunguska, central Siberia, i was always interested in why and how people live in hostile parts of the world, right from my school days. Briefly read about the event in my school days in connemara library. Then read about it in detail in Carl Sagan's book Cosmos some twenty years ago, i remembered the year 1908, just checked the date and it was 30th June.
When i read some of God's statements punishing the women with pain in child birth, eternal submission to man for commiting the first sin, and women having no right to teach or learn, i sincerely feel that God must go and see a shrink. Thankfully this is not true and it is us who have created such a God. and it is men like me who wrote such garbage.
whattoo ? when you coming to TVS petrol bunk ? confusing changes in traffic regulations. Better walk to Sathyam theatre.

Hi MONSOON, complaining about heat only ruins my day, but i keep my mind happy dreaming of monsoon.
i wrote this post from my sister's computer, now i got my system back, still not very healthy, its a bit sluggish but i can manage. Thank you Monsoon.
Its basic human curiosity which drives people to try to understand the working of nature, Thanks to them that we know something about the world we live in and a little about our galaxy.
Alexander the great wanted to go to the end of the world, and died before he found himself back in Greece. Edge of the world remained a mystery till Nicholas Coopernicus. Now you know that the sun doesn't disappear. People used to pray and make offerings to god to send back the sun next morning.
Their fear was, what if the sun doesn't come back ?
Atlas was tired of holding the world on his shoulders. Herculese wanted some golden flowers from some garden and he had no strength to fight the giants guarding it. So he sought the help of Atlas, okkay friend i'll get you the flower just hold the world for a while. Atlas fought those giants and got the flower. now he got smart. i am going on a holiday Heculese, the world is yours now. But Herculese was smarter. Told Atlas that his shoulder is aching and he wants to shift the weight asked Atlas to hold the world for a second. Dumb Atlas never knew it was a trick and took back the world. It was like a plate not a ball you see now in the pictures. Now Herculese smiled and said bye bye i am going on a holiday.
this was not long ago Monsoon, it was just 2500 years ago. People used to make offerings to Atlas so that he doesn't throw the world into the burning hot sun. This was a serious belief which people then believed to be a fact. Now we smile at such stories.
Hope you are doing fine Monsoon

Very sweet of you to offer to be out host, dear Rauf! I already see a bit of India through your eyes and I do hope that I can visit your beautiful country one day. It won't be in the near future, though, because I only just have enough money to go and see the family back home during the kids' summer holidays. My parents are getting old and the older and weaker they get, the heavier my conscience becomes for having left them behind.
Keep on posting, Rauf. Your posts are needed.

What's the story on the internet about Beethoven? I haven't heard about it.
And I also didn't know that episode with Jesus about casting the first stone was added later.
Don't know if you heard about the broohaha over the New Yorker cover with Obama in a cartoon dressed in Muslim hat, etc. People got furious because the little joke (the cartoonist said he was trying to show how ridiculous the belief is that Obama is a secret Muslim) was too close to what some people believe, and seeing it in an image on a magazine, it would confirm their misconception. I posted a little bit about it on huffing. (That is not a solicitation for you to visit the blog, hehe.)
It's good to have you back.

Hi WHISPER, Enjoying the sun ? It get hot even in December here in Chennai, Now it gets unbearable but not for me, i find ways to deal with the heat, rest of the family can't live without airconditioners. We have lots of sunshine, it gets too hot during the day but mornings and evenings are pleasant, still i find lots of children playing basketball, cricket and other games under floodlights. You must be very busy with school projects. Enjoy Whisper, we have only one life and you'll remember how you enjoyed your teens for ever.

Thank you SANDY, its hard to locate our planet in the map of our own galaxy, there are trillions of galaxies like ours and they are constantly expanding. Is that any good ? i don't know. Why are the galaxies expanding ? why new stars and planets are formed every minute, i do not know. The essential role of knowledge is to make us aware of our ignorance. What we know is very little and what we do not know is the whole lot. One day we will know.
Hope the weather is good and you are having fun being a host to birds who love you.

smiling VRINDA, yes true. When out existence is meaningless its funny to see greed in humans.
What for ? one may ask. Its a tragedy to join the rat race, no options. i can't be a monkey even if i want to. a monkey does not have a credit card, a mobile or a bank account. He is living on this planet too. i tried my best to figure out how we got into this money trap. i can't get out of it.
i would be lying if i say i have no greed. i have to be greedy to live in this trap.
Best thing to do to feel less miserable is to enjoy being in the trap.
work work work, make money buy things, shop shop shop. new paint on the walls new furniture new computer to make us feel good.
i am greedy to make myself feel good. Love is dying, time for ourselves is less. And when i am dying i look at my newly painted walls, my fancy mobile, i wonder, how funny ? why i came here in the first place ?
i want to be a monkey Vrinda,
not a good monkey or a bad monkey
just a monkey. He is a lot better off and happy without a bible khuraan or Gita, email ID or a phone number. Thats how we were supposed to be, but we got ourselves in a trap.

Dear CLAUDIA, actually you don't need much money in India, unless you seek top class comfort in traveling and staying. September to February is the ideal time. Lots of festivals in September October. India has his own problems. The British are aware of them. so they come prepared. Mosquitos for instance.
Now travel facilities for foreign tourists are getting better and better. Flight tickets are cheaper, no more waiting.
You know about India Claudia, all you need is a bit of patience. We have not given up our laziness. Things go at a slow pace. The contrast is baffling. Rich and the poor, cities and the villages.
Knowledge and ignorance, Latest technology and and bullock carts go side by side.
Yes the first priority is the family, old parents. Its so good that you visit them and keep in touch. That kind of love and care which India used to boast about is fast disappearing. People get selfish after parents spend everything on their education, they abandon their parents and seek greener pasteurs. Parents keep longing to hear the voice of their children. I have friends whose children are abroad and earning and have not visited their parents in years. i have become a son to one such lady, she should be in her late eighties and her son is my age. She loves feeding me. She feels that she is feeding her son. Only son. What a tragedy. In a few cases, i have arranged computers and taught the parents how to chat with their children, but they complain that their children have no time even to chat with them, they keep waiting for ever gaping at the monitors.
What is skype they ask me. Now i have to learn what is skype for them.
Hope your parents are doing well Claudia.

Dear RUTH this the story which has been circulated in the net for a few years now. i have received many forwards too.
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, and she had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis; would you recommend that she have an abortion?
If you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.
Beethoven was the second child of 7not the youngest, only 2 survived.
The first and others died in infancy. He was not deaf from birth. Mother did not have siphylis, she died of TB. Beethoven's loss of hearing was caused by scarlet fever much later in his life. i think this story was fabricated by religious people or anti abortion lobby.
True or false is a different matter Ruth. People who want to believe in it will be reluctant to investigate and would refuse to accept the true story.
Newyorker is read all over the world. This is a clear mischief from their side. i never expected them to stoop to such levels. They need blessings from the corporates to survive. Entire print and electronic media for that matter.
There is a saying in Urdu. ' if you want to live in water, better be friendly with the crocodile'

Oh yes, I read that Beethoven story when it was an anti-abortion poster on the door of my mom's doctor.

Never underestimate the importance of advanced Inca Trail reservations. Only 500 Inca Trail permits are issued for any given day, with about 200 of those going to tourists and the rest going to guides, porters, and other trekking staff. If you think that sounds limited, you'd be right.
While alternative treks provide opportunities for last-minute hikes to Machu Picchu, trekking along the classic Inca Trail -- be it for two days, four days or more -- requires an advanced reservation.
If you arrive in Cusco hoping to find space on the trail, there's a very good chance you'll be sorely disappointed.
Inca Trail Reservations
Ideally, you should try to book the Inca Trail about six months in advance, especially if you want to go during high season (June, July, and August). During these months, trail permits can sell out four or five months in advance.
The months surrounding high season can also sell out ahead of time. If you want to hike the Inca Trail in April, May, September, October or November, try to book at least three or four months in advance.
In some of the quieter months, typically December, January, and early-March, you might be OK booking as little as three to five weeks in advance (this also depends on when permits actually go on sale at the start of the year). Bear in mind that the Holy Week and Easter period (moveable) is also a popular time to hike the Inca Trail.
If you're wondering what happened to February, that's the month during which the Inca Trail closes for maintenance (Machu Picchu does not close).
According to Chaska Tours, one of our recommended Inca Trail tour operators, Inca Trail permits seem to sell out earlier each year. With that in mind, trying to book six months in advance -- for whatever time of the year -- is the best way to avoid disappointment.

As you may have read in my recent Brussels and Country Weekend posts I enjoy taking a couple of days off to go exploring. Recently I took this to another level when I only had one day off but decided to go to another country (though many people have debated the legitimacy of this statement.) At ten in the morning I boarded a train with a friend bound for Cardiff in Wales, one of the countries that makes up the United Kingdom. Just over two hours later we'd arrived.
If I had done little research about Brussels, I'd done even less research for Cardiff. A brief browse told me there was a bay, some colleagues had given a tip for somewhere to eat.
Obviously this became the first choice for a visit. I don't think I'd ever been to a real castle (we're kind of lacking them in Australia, America too) especially as I couldn't remember my German travels from when I was two years old.
Cardiff Castle has spanned the ages, originally built by Romans, then a Norman Keep (left) was added, walls were built, buildings were built and destroyed, a Gothic wing was added, it became bomb shelters during the war, and finally a tourist attraction.
There's plenty to see around the grounds, encompassing all the different periods of time, and you get an audio guide included in the ticket price. You can walk the battlements and climb the tower of the Norman Keep for a great view of Cardiff. I even sat on a medieval toilet! (I just can't escape an odd bathroom opportunity!)
Some of the most stunning aspects of the castle though were not found in the Norman Keep or within the battlements but in the form of superbly decorated apartments within the Gothic Castle. Not all rooms are open to the public, but each one that was seemed more stunning than the last. The Arab Room is a definite highlight. The piece below comes from the library, where I managed to find a platypus!
After the castle it was time for some food, and through the recommendation of that aforementioned colleague we hit up Madame Fromage (the finest cheese store in Wales) for some charcuterie and (of course) cheese! The store and restaurant can be found down one of the shopping arcades and comprises of two shops in the space. Our colleague was right to recommend it, I will too.
From there it was time for some walking, exploring Wales. Around the castle is relatively modern, there's lots of big fancy new buildings including a lot of shops. In fact some areas felt like parts of Los Angeles or maybe even a hint of Seattle, which is something I did not expect to feel.
A longer walk took us down to Cardiff Bay where the giant Millenium Centre dominates the landscape (pictured above) you'll also find an area dedicated to Roald Dahl who was born in Cardiff and a number of other activities such as the Dr Who experience.
After a long day of walking we headed back up towards the station, grabbed a pint at a pub, and sat for a drink. There seemed to be a lot of places to eat, drink and socialise in Cardiff, however we'd found it very quiet. Perhaps it would get busier after we'd left. Perhaps there was a zombie plague and we were the only ones still alive. That was an odd thing about Cardiff.
But I'd totally managed to visit another country in just one day, and that was pretty cool. Less cool is me trying to be a knight…

CD Reviews
The Wailin' Jennys – Bright Morning Stars
Fatea Magazine – UK
Any of the three vocalists in The Wailin' Jennys could cut it as a solo artist and yet, remarkably, the sum of the parts still seems to outweigh the individual voices. Despite the multitude of instruments used on the album, all sympathetically, nothing distracts from the strength of the harmony vocals and the words they convey. The slow pace of "Bright Morning Past" allows you to absorb the quality that runs through the album. It's Americana with a gospel twist, giving the whole album an almost timeless feel. "Bright Morning Stars" positively sparkles with vocal delight.

text: My psychiatrist called and recommended i go to the ER or walk in clinic to get checked out just because ive been having so many panic attacks recently. I went to the ER. Everything They didnt do anything at all just a urine sample. I wasnt clinical enough for them put into an impatient program since im not suicidal. They recommended an outpatient one where you go 3 times a week for like 4 hours. I feel super unreal today, it just keeps getting worse. Thoughts are still coming about existence and eternity and such so i tend to dwell on those late at night. It makes me panic. I also read some scary shit about solispism. Now i cant stop thinking about it.
