This would be interesting to co-write with someone. Good luck with it! Can't offer any advice since I don't write, but I know when hubby and his brother would work on music together, both musicians obviously, one had the main idea and the other added their parts and whoever had the main idea got to decide if they liked those parts, but that was them and it was music.ReplyDelete
I've never written a book with someone else. Ask David Powers King. He and Michael wrote Woven together.ReplyDelete
There are people who do that very successfully. Like Alex said, ask David Powers King. And those crazy guys at A Beer for the Shower.ReplyDelete

I don't think I could ever be able to write a book with someone else. I want all the control. lol I'd want to change what they write. :PReplyDelete
I would write one chapter, my partner write the other, and review each other's work but only after discussing the story in-depth and agreeing on where the story needs to go and discussing each character.
I've never co-written a book before, but from what I've heard, I think the experience boils down to whether or not the writers involved have a good chemistry with one another. That is, whether or not you enjoy reading and writing the same kind of books, watching and critiquing the same kind of movies etc. Best of luck either way. I am sure you'll work it out and have some fun while you're at it. :)ReplyDelete
This would be a challenge and I think it is very open of you to try this. I am with the others-seek people out who have worked with partnersReplyDelete
I've never done co-writing before (it sounds really hard! Especially for me because I tend to be the type that writes all at once and then nothing and then all at once again so waiting for someone to get back to me in between bouts of "Inspiration" --also known as non laziness --and them waiting for me to get back to them during the slow phases would probably create a lot of page tension.) But I've heard of writers sending their work back and forth to each other on a daily basis, editing and writing until they couldn't remember who came up with which ideas.ReplyDelete
Wouldn't know. I've got a couple of friends who might co-write with me at some point though. In any case, good luck.ReplyDelete
God, Entertainment, & Annoying Things
I would love to co-write with someone else, but I couldn't imagine myself actually doing it. I'm like you, I'd have no idea how it would actually work. Hope you work it out!ReplyDelete
Hey Lauren! I have no personal experience with co-writing, but I did attend a book signing by Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando, who cowrote the YA novel ROOMMATES. They said that they wrote alternate chapters (which fit neatly with the format, because there were two alternating narrators), and that each one would just write her own chapter and then send it to the other, who didn't know until she got her partner's finished version what was going to happen in it! They both knew the ending in advance, but that's it. They said it worked for them and they had a lot of fun doing it that way, but I'm sure that method wouldn't work for everyone. Have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
Have often wondered this myself. Keep up posted on what you find out or if you dive in:)ReplyDelete
I could never write with someone else, or at least, not in the for-see-able future. But that's an interesting idea. I'll be curious to see how it goes.ReplyDelete

Co-writing is actually something I'd love to do, but I'm always afraid that I'll be the annoying half who's not holding up my end.ReplyDelete

James Pierpont, 1857; French text
Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
2. A day or two ago,
3. A day or two ago,
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away.
4. Now the ground is white

CHICAGO (CBS) — Two teen girls were rescued from Lake Michigan on Thursday evening, but divers continued looking for a third in the choppy waters off Loyola Park beach.
Emergency responders were called to Lake Michigan at Greenleaf Avenue shortly before 6 p.m. Three girls had been playing near the break wall when they ended up in the water.
Witnesses say they knew the girls needed help in the rough water. Two were pulled out, and one was taken to St. Francis Hospital, where she was in good to fair condition; the other lingered for awhile on the beach, awaiting word about her missing friend.
The father of the missing girl identified her as Lexie Adu, 15, an honor roll student. The family is from Ghana.
"Between the cold water and the waves, that's some dangerous conditions to be dealing with," Fire Department Dive Team Chief Ron Dorneker said.
Police divers took over the search late Thursday night as a U.S. Coast Guard chopper flew overhead.
Life guards were scheduled to be working the city's beaches Friday morning in anticipation of the Memorial Day Weekend, the traditional kickoff of summer.

By Lisa Pecos
Binky, dummy, choo-choo—regardless of what you call a pacifier, parents have long debated whether or not they're a godsend or a mistake when it comes to a baby's health.
Babies naturally have a strong sucking reflex, which is why many even begin sucking their thumbs and fingers in the womb. Besides sucking being the way they get their nutrition when feeding, babies also find sucking calming and soothing. But are there any other benefits to pacifiers?
The Benefits of Using a Pacifier
The following are some of the benefits of pacifiers:
- They may help soothe a fussy or irritable baby
- They may be able to help your baby fall asleep
- They make a great temporary distraction, especially when your baby is upset after getting their shots or blood work
- They can help ease the ear discomfort of pressure changes when flying
- They might reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), according to a 2012 study
The Disadvantages of Using a Pacifier
There is a downside to pacifier use. This includes:
- A baby can become dependent on the pacifier, which can cause them to cry when it falls out
- Prolonged use can lead to dental problems, such as misaligned teeth
- Early use of a pacifier may interfere with breastfeeding
How to Use Pacifiers Safely
If you prefer to give your baby a pacifier, consider the following tips on using them safely:
- Wait until your baby is 3 to 4 weeks old and settled into a good breastfeeding routine
- Opt for one-piece silicone pacifiers instead of two-piece pacifiers that can break and cause choking
- Give your baby the pacifier between feedings and not when the baby is hungry
- Don't force the pacifier on your baby if he/she isn't interested
- Avoid using a pacifier as your first method for calming a crying baby
- Always keep the pacifier clean and choose a dishwasher-safe pacifier
- Replace pacifiers as the baby grows, choosing the size accordingly
- Don't put sugar, honey, or any other sweet substance on a pacifier
- Wean your baby off the pacifier by using swaddling, massage, and methods of soothing
In most cases, children stop using pacifiers on their own, usually between the ages of 2 to 4 years. For those that need a little more coaxing, you can use activities or other objects to help distract them from their craving for their pacifier. Try playing games or giving them a plush toy or blanket. If your child is old enough to understand, then include them in the decision to stop using the pacifier by letting them trade the pacifier for a toy of their choosing or making the discarding of the pacifier special, such as by placing it in a keepsake box or even burying it. Your doctor may also be able to help if you have trouble weaning your child off the pacifier when it's time.

Shifting StonesMy skinny jeans await
Archive for June, 2010
3 weeks in, and I've lost 11.5 pounds. Again, none of that should be "water weight" as I was on low carb before switching to this plan. If anything, I am losing weight faster in the past few weeks than I did my first week or so. However, if anyone stumbles on this blog with 15 or 20 pounds to lose, a little caveat, I need to lose multiples of that, so don't expect the same results.
I also made the decision to try to give up artificial sweeteners for a while to see how I do without them. I want to taste the natural sweetness in vegetables (some of them are very sweet) and my herbal teas. Plus, I am not sure why I've used that crutch for so long. I can see a very occasional treat, but for now, nothing. I've been a day without them, and it's not too bad.
The biggest wow has been how much my body has changed. I have been dieting for years, and most of that has been low carb or low GI/GL. I know the advantages of having enough protein and fat over starving your body of its building blocks for the sake of cutting calories. I've even been this weight before on low carb. This time I look and feel thinnner. Even my husband has noticed, and he can't get over it. I am starting the beginnings of an hourglass shape rather than an apple. Well, I am sort of turning into an hourglass shape if you look at me from the front. I don't know if someone who has never had an arse qualifies as an hourglass, ever. I feel a bit sexy, and it's a new feeling.
I hope I can keep this up.
Always read the labels…
So, when I was doing low cal vegetarianism, I found this hot chocolate drink that tasted lovely, was low calorie (I think 30 calories a mug), was relatively low carb for an occasional treat (5 gm a mug), but was of course, a cocktail of chemicals and weird stuff. I had (have) some left, so a few nights ago when I was really craving something sweet and chocolatey, I made myself a mug. I downed about half of it, when I decided to double check the carbs in it. When I glanced at the ingredients, glucose was relatively high on the list. Glucose.
I still finished the mug of chocolate.
However, I know why on previous attempts at low carb this year, things sort of stayed steady. I was drinking that stuff or adding a spoon to fresh whipped cream about every night.
I should bin it, but Mr Moggs likes it, so it's still there. This is the second thing I found this week that had sugar in it that I used regularly during low carb. The first was a rice vinegar "dressing" which I just assumed was rice vinegar. Because things here sometimes only list the macro-nutrients in 100 g, 100 ml, or whatever, I have to do maths in order to figure out the carbs. If there's one thing I am, it's really lazy about maths. It was still relatively low carb, but still.
I have an official weigh in tomorrow and I will update this then.
A week in
So I am a week in, and I am down about 3.5 pounds. Remember, I was already on low carb before I started this plan, and this is entirely real weight loss, and not water.
We're going shopping later, so I am going to try to figure out a menu. I don't do menus really. My normal thing is to go to the shop, look for what's on sale, buy at least 7 dinners worth, and buy some stuff for lunches and snacks.
The pork belly turned out to be incredible. I am making another today, so I might post photos and a how to guide.
Day 2. Or day 1. Maybe day 1.5?
Yesterday started out pretty strong, but we went to a friends house and I ate more than I should have, and I had caffeine. I didn't eat too many carbs and no "baddies" (even though I was awfully tempted by some pretty lush looking homemade biscuits). It was a very excellent meal, and worth the overload on amounts. I should have steered clear of the sodas, of course, and the after dinner coffee, but I didn't.
So I did a restart this morning. Well, sort of. I don't really think that I should totally discount yesterday because I was able to stay low carb, and IPD is meant to be flexible enough to take in things like parties, although probably being flexible on the first day isn't what they had in mind. But what is important is that this morning I didn't hesitate to commit the day to sticking to the eating plan. Maybe what's even more important is that I didn't take yesterday's excesses as a licence to go even more overboard and maybe eat some sugar.
The thought of the day is something about obstacles not being there as long as you focus on the goal. True, but I think you have to define a goal. Is it a goal weight? A goal size? Or is it the things that are motivating you to lose weight in the first place? Saying something like, "I want to lose weight so I can be more active," sounds a lot like what makes someone want to lose weight, but really, the goal is there. When your activity level increases, you have met one goal of the huge complex goal of losing weight. So we should also remember those goals as we reach them.
Moving away from the SoCal glurgey motivation-speak, I have to love a diet where I am learning to cook pork belly. Cooking pork friggen belly. That is so far down the list of things that I'd thought I'd be doing in my lifetime.
Menu posting later. Maybe. No promises.

Meet the Filmmakers
A lifelong inhabitant of the Palestinian village of Bil'in, Emad Burnat is a farmer and freelance cameraman. He has contributed to several documentaries, including Bil'in My Love, Palestine Kids, Open Close, and Interrupted Streams.
Born in Jaffa, Guy Davidi is a documentary filmmaker and teacher who has been directing, editing, and shooting films since the age of 16. His short documentaries include In Working Progress, Keywords, and Women Defying Barriers; his first feature film, Interrupted Streams, premiered in 2010 at the Jerusalem Film Festival.
Filmmakers' Statement
When we started this project, we knew we would be criticized for working together. Emad would be asked why he chose to make the film with an Israeli, and Guy would be asked why he chose to make the film with a Palestinian. Still, the actual differences between us were something we could not avoid: we have different cultural backgrounds and different privileges, and we had to learn to use them in a constructive way. There are also different expectations for us as a result of our identities.
When we finally decided to make the film, we decided it had to be as intimate and personal as possible. That was the only way to tell the story in a new and emotional way. For Emad, this was not an obvious or simple decision. Exposure can be flattering, but it can also be risky. On the other hand, the film had be focused on Emad's narrative, with Guy taking the role of storyteller.
We hope that people come to see the film with open minds and without foregone conclusions. When watching a film that deals with such a painful controversy, we know that people tend to shut down. Most of us divide the world into right and wrong, good and bad, Palestinian and Israeli. We immediately take a side that corresponds to our identity, life experience, or ideology, even though these loyalties prevent us from fully experiencing the world. Reality is wonderfully complex, and we become frustrated when people fight to look at it with only one or two filters.
5 Broken Cameras was made to inspire, and not just to be interpreted as part of the political discourse – although it is, of course, an important part of it. We made the film with sincere initiative, trying to challenge our own assumptions and avoid cliché. In the end, we hope everyone will come away with open hearts.

Across the province, LHINs are working with health service providers on a number of integration initiatives that will lead to a more sustainable, accessible health care system. In some LHINs, this includes looking at back office integrations such as shared information technology systems that support the work of front line health service providers working in acute and community based settings. By working in partnership, health care organizations can identify integration opportunities related to the collection, analysis and dissemination of health information that will improve patient access, lead to better population health and ensure value for money.
On February 26, 2014, the Central East LHIN Board of Directors passed a motion to invite the hospital leadership to participate in a facilitated integration planning process to develop a regional Hospital Information Systems (HIS) Vision. Given the significant investment in hospital IT being planned across the LHIN, the Central East LHIN Board wanted to ensure that whatever investments are made are sustainable and support the LHIN's mission to lead the creation of an integrated sustainable health care system that ensures better health, better care, better value for money.
Consequently the LHIN's nine acute care hospitals are now involved in a HIS Vision facilitated integration to identify the best course of action for the ongoing delivery of hospital health information.
The three key objectives of this project are:
On October 22, 2014 the Central East LHIN Board, at their Open Board meeting received a Directional Plan entitled "Central East LHIN Shared HIS Vision." The result of the facilitated integration planning process noted above, this 74-page document was developed over the past six months by hospital leadership, along with clinical, financial and technical experts, to determine a future vision for Hospital Information Systems.
Updates on this facilitated integration planning process have been presented each month at the LHIN's Open Board meetings and can be accessed by clicking on the links below:
The LHIN Board will be considering the Directional Plan at its next Board meeting

I guess the term 'people change' is as true as day for me.
I used to think I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life, and possibly because of over hyping or way too many day dreams about my 'dream' career, I've realized that it's not really for me.
I wanted badly to become a private investigator. I thought it would be cool; specializing in murders, maybe getting to travel all over the world to solve some when the police can't and I made a name for myself, and I thought of writing about some of the murders as well(because, as most of you reading this probably know, I am a very good writer).
But recently I've liked the idea of being in Japan much more than I entertained in the past. There's just something right now that's kinda telling me to go there. And I looked a little into teaching English over there(I'll let you know when I actually have an idea about that).
But before any of that even starts, there's my post secondary. And the only way I can decide where I want to go or what I want to do is if I have an idea of the career I want. And I don't want to spend a few years of my life and few more thousand dollars on something that isn't going to make me happy in the end.
Tonight, when I realized all this, I went to bed thinking of what my strong suits are(I got out of bed to write this because the thoughts are still fresh and flowing). I'm very creative and, as mentioned earlier, a good writer. But I have a tendency to leave things unfinished, get bored with things, get distracted by other things, and just give up on others all together. I've been writing a book since I was in 8th grade, I'm going into 12th grade in September and I'm no closer to finishing it than I am to finishing the sequel.
But I'm artistic, and good with my hands. I sometimes cut up t-shirts to make tank tops if they don't fit right or I don't like how they look, I sometimes do the same with jeans but they're a little more tricky for me. And I was thinking, maybe making cloths and selling them online, but I
don't know how to use hate using evil sewing machines.
I know where my passions lay though. I love history, ancient civilizations, wars, I love writing, it's the entire reason I have this blog, and I want to see the world. I know there are people out there who actually get paid to travel the world and try new things and get to go everywhere with things paid for and get salary on top of that. And while I think it would be cool to have that as a career, how hard is it to get into that?
I'm always so sure of myself until I can't be sure of anything anymore. And I know that's a flaw, along with thinking things are unattainable, but somethings can be.
I think I just need to think about this a little more on my own. If any of you reading have any suggestions for what I should do, please leave me a comment. I'd like to know, inspiration can come from anywhere you know.

The Secretary General of the Ensenada city council, Miguel Ley Álvarez, was informed by the representative of the firemans' union, Cesar Ortiz Mendoza, that for the city of Ensenada, including El Sauzel and Mandeadero, there are only three functioning fire engines.
This area includes over 500,000 inhabitants, 200 colonias and hundreds of industrial buildings. It was disclosed that on an average day, the fire department responds to 20 emergency calls. All of the fire engines the city owns are those discarded in the US and bought at the border, which only last a few years.

Writing for the Mail in his first article since being promoted to Home Secretary on Monday, Sajid Javid said: 'It is only right that we honour their service and ensure they are able to continue with the lives that they have built here.' In another breakthrough, Mr Javid said he would review whether their wives and children should be allowed in. Many of them had complained they had not been able to bring relatives across at the same time for practical reasons, only to be told it was now too late. Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson also vowed to fight for the 'courageous' translators. 'The Afghan interpreters have served this country with great loyalty and bravery by serving shoulder-to-shoulder with our Armed Forces,' he said.
Brit Border Agency staffer; Stansted.
"Good morning sir, could I please ask you to marshall the seventy-five odd people who are signed as part of your party, to one side: clearing the area in front of the desks, please?"
Five minutes later, as the noise, keening and wailing subsides to a dull murmur.
B.B.A. S. Thank you sir, might I ask you for your travel documents?
Afghani man: "As you can see, I, together with my family, cousins, uncles and kin, are seeking asylum from terror and the Taliban in our former homeland, and, in accord with the newly-appointed British Home Secretary's statements regarding interpreters who worked for the British Army in Helmand Province, are confidently seeking asylum in Great Britain.
"Certainly, sir, if you could just point to the document which shows and confirms that you were on patrol with British soldiers in Helmand province, acting as an interpreter, and your stay will be immediately confirmed, as agreed and formally accepted by the newly-appointed Muslim Home Secretary."
Afghani man: "Whilst I cannot truthfully state that I was a member of that brave group who kept their faces hidden at all times for fear of retribution, I can confirm that the second cousin of my fourth brother's third wife worked as a cook for a cobbler who regularly repaired British Army Interpreters' footwear. The word got around, and the threats of instant retribution against all collaborators came for us all, so we decided to flee, and here we are."
B.B.A. S. picks up phone and calls Home Office headquarters, Border Agency. "Colin, according to our records, the total numbers of Afghan and Iraqi interpreters we are now admitting to the UK stands at 45,000, inclusive of the thousands of family members, hangers-on and the like. Tell the Minister to advise the Home Secretary that, once again, Muslim Home Secretary or not, the bloody Government needs to 'shut the **** up'!

Recently, while attending a fashion show fundraiser, I came across a wellness poster that really spoke to me and I thought it would fit in easily with my blog. I don't know who the original artist of the poster is, otherwise I would give her credit. I think the artwork is really cute. The poster has 10 cartoon drawings under the heading, "Today's Healthy Woman is…" and I thought I'd use them as a spring board to build a metaphor that joins water and wellness. I hope this inspires you to stay healthy.
1. Today's Healthy Woman is: Balanced
I'm constantly trying to balance my life (career, relationships, time, chequebook, health) and I've noticed that when I'm out of balance, I get tired and irritable and I eat more than I would otherwise. Imbalance shows up in a lot of different ways for different people. You can see imbalance manifest as acne on your skin, a bad hair day, insomnia or illness to name just a few on the tip of the iceberg. It has occurred to me that maybe that's why people indulge in their addictions. I think people drink, smoke, over-eat, shop, gamble, go to tanning salons etc., etc., etc., because they want to correct some sort of imbalance in their system. They want to feel better, or at least different. Unfortunately, as we all know, addictions are counter productive. Here is a quick, easy and free way to feel more balanced any time of day. — Breathe. — That's right. Focus on your breathing. Take a moment to picture some gentle waves curling along a sandy beach, in and out, in and out, and then follow the rhythm. Add a palm tree and a sunrise or sunset or full moon. I feel better already.
2. Today's Healthy Woman is: Self-Accepting
Acceptance is the answer; De Nile is a river in Egypt.
Self-acceptance is about being OK with all aspects of who you are and not feeling the need to change anything in your life. Often times people forget about their strengths or talents and at the same time deny or ignore the parts of themselves they don't like. But seeing the whole picture — sunlight and shadows — will help you live the life of your dreams.
Do you accept yourself as you are, unconditionally, right here and right now? If you were to see a pool of water with a big sign above it saying "Swimming Pool of Self-Acceptance," would you: 1) dip your big toe in and then run away 2) wade in, ankle deep, in the shallow end 3) stand in water up to your waist or shoulders and occasionally dip your head under water and maybe do a hand stand or two? or 4) artfully dive in off the diving board and do the backstroke and the butterfly in the deep end?
If you are having trouble with this concept of self-acceptance, as many of us do, there are several exercises you can do in your daily life. Start with getting to know yourself on a deeper level and remember to be kind to yourself.
Ironically, positive change comes easier when you're able to accept what's already there. Remember the "Serenity Prayer." God, Grant me the serenity / to accept the things I cannot change; / courage to change the things I can; / and the wisdom to know the difference. / Living one day at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; / Taking, as He did, this sinful world / as it is, not as I would have it; / Trusting that He will make all things right / if I surrender to His Will; / That I may be reasonably happy in this life / and supremely happy with Him / Forever in the next. / Amen. — Reinhold Niebuhr
3. Today's Healthy Woman is: Humourous
Gather around the water cooler, everybody, I've got a blonde joke.
A guy called "Ken" has noticed that his girlfriend, let's call her "Barbie," likes to put two glasses on her nightstand each night before she goes to bed. (He's very observant). One glass is empty and the other one is filled with water. "Why on earth do you do that?" he asked her. And she answered, "Cuz, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't know if I'll be thirsty or not."
4. Today's Healthy Woman is: Fit
When I first started Jazzercising back in 1998, I quickly learned to bring a bottle of water to each class. I like taking sips of water between songs to stay hydrated.
On another note, sweating is also an important part of staying fit. I learned recently that the amount of sweat you produce is proportionate to your fitness level, so if you're sweating during a workout more than you used to, you're on the right track. Keep up the good work!
Some people don't like to sweat, but I do. It makes me feel empowered. It's the body's way of cooling the system and releasing toxins and as far as I'm concerned, it's a happy day and a great workout when I feel that first bead of sweat start trickling from my forehead.
5. Today's Healthy Woman is: Passionate
What activities make your face light up when you talk about them or do them? Do you enjoy painting with water colours? Do you like taking photos of the world's tallest water falls? How about going whale watching or scuba diving or fly fishing? Hula dancing on the beach after a day of surfing? Or maybe you're like me and you like writing in your journal with a fountain pen? In any case, having a passion for something is one of life's great gifts and I urge you to pursue your passions with zeal and fervour.
6. Today's Healthy Woman is: Self-Nurturing
This one's my fave because it's all about the spa. Sprinkling the spa into your life on a regular basis is one of the best ways to improve the quality of your life. The word "spa" splashed onto the world scene after some therapeutic mineral-rich springs were discovered in Belgium in the 14th century.
All spas have some sort of water element in them, especially the ones that focus on Thalassotherapy or "sea therapy," a school of thought that was named after Thalassa, the Greek goddess of the sea. Thalassotherapy uses the mineral-rich supplies from Poseidon's playground — salt, seaweed, mud and, of course, water — to create healing treatments that help relieve stress, smooth skin, stimulate circulation and eliminate toxins from the body.
You don't have to go far to enjoy some spa time, unless you want to. I think taking a bubble bath at home, with some candles and some music for added ambiance, is one of the nicest things you can do for yourself. If you take time to take care of yourself, like getting your hair done or polishing your nails or giving yourself a facial every now and then, you'll manage the rest of your life that much better. Remember to put some "me time" into your life. That's what Homespunspa is all about.
7. Today's Healthy Woman is: Spiritual
Spirituality is hard to define in a quick paragraph but in my mind, being spiritual is having a belief in an invisible energy that surrounds and permeates through every living thing in the entire universe. (I call that energy "God," but you don't have to). A spiritual person tries to connect with that energy through prayer, meditation and contemplation etc., to enrich their life and find deeper meaning in their existence.
I believe in the power of prayer. Praying can have an influence on people's health and wellbeing. Did you see the 2004 movie, "What the Bleep do We Know?" At one point they talked about the work of a Japanese author, Masaru Emoto, who claims that if positive human thoughts like prayer and music are directed at droplets of water before they are frozen, the resulting water crystals will be beautiful, suggesting that invisible thoughts and their energy have an influence on the material world. It's fascinating.
8. Today's Healthy Woman is: Optimistic
I don't know about you, but I immediately think of the "glass is half empty; glass is half full" saying for this one. Just out of curiosity, what's in your glass? Water? Milk? O.J.? Pop? Beer? I always picture water with blue food colouring in it. Anyway, some people are naturally optimistic and positive in life. Others prefer to view things more "realistically" and feel they would be lying if they were to put a positive spin on things. Others tend to see things negatively, thinking that if they get their hopes up, the bubble will burst and things won't work out and they will be left feeling worse than they would have otherwise. My thoughts? You may not have control over everything that happens in your life, but you do have the power to choose your attitude in every given moment. Here's a quote that might help: "It's the same up and down roller-coaster but it's up to you whether or not you enjoy the ride." Why not choose to be more optimistic? It's more fun that way.
9. Today's Healthy Woman is: Loving
Do you remember the song, "Shower the People" by James Taylor? Here are the lyrics to the last half of the song. I don't remember that last bit at all but it fits with my water theme, so I'm keeping it.
Better to shower the people you love with love / Show them the way that you feel / Things are gonna be just fine if you only will / Shower the people you love with love / Show them the way that you feel / Things are gonna be much better if you only will / Shower the people you love with love / Show them the way that you feel / You'll feel better right away / Don't take much to do / Sell your pride / They say in every life / They say the rain must fall / Just like pouring rain / Make it rain / Make it rain / Love, love, love is sunshine / Oh yes, / Make it rain / Love, love, love is sunshine / Yeah, all right / Everybody, everybody / Shower the people you love with love…
10. Today's Healthy Woman is: Confident
Confidence has always eluded me. Searching for it is like trying to fish an eggshell chip out of egg whites. What does having confidence mean anyway? I've given this topic considerable thought over the years and I've finally figured out that having confidence starts with positivity — being able to find something good in everyone you meet and in every situation you face. If you can see a positive outcome from the beginning, than you're already halfway there in my book.
How does this tie in with water you ask? Well, when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, do you think he had a clue about where he was headed and what he was up against and how long it would take him to see land again? I think not. But I do think he had confidence and a vision and a faith that everything would work out for the best. If he and his crew approached that voyage with fear, doubt and negativity, they wouldn't have gotten very far and I wouldn't be blogging from Victoria, BC today. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they had their moments, but they didn't let that stop them from exploring the high seas.
Having that sense of adventure, taking calculated risks, stepping out of your comfort zone, facing challenges head on, braving stormy weather and reaching out into the great unknown, build confidence. And having confidence will make life more interesting.
I hope you found this post "good to the last drop." As always, if you have any comments to add, feel free to write them.

Leeds teenager Lewis Walters has signed his first professional contract with the club.
The 17-year-old striker has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at Elland Road.
Walters, who is top scorer this season for United's Under-18 team, was thrilled to agree terms.
"It's one of the best feelings I've ever had," he told the club's official website.
"It couldn't have gone any better for me, really.
"I joined the academy quite late and wasn't expecting to get a club, but Leeds came in and I got a scholarship and I thought the only thing I can do is keep kicking on and try and get a pro contract, and now it's a dream come true.
"I'd like to try and be involved with the first team.
"I've got to keep doing what I'm doing, keep improving and try and get more goals.
"When I look at Sam Byram, I played with him last year, he has done amazing for himself and that's what I'd like to do next season."

Is been a while since i posted anything in my blog, and to be honest i didn't know what in the world post. But today i just saw some interesting post at nasa's website. This for me is like the most bizarre thing I ever read in my LIFE! According to NASA (As said in the article) a hundred million years ago, a triple-star system was traveling through the bustling center of our Milky Way Galaxy when it made a life-changing misstep. The trio wandered to close to the galaxy's giant black hole, which captured one of the stars and hurled the other two out of the Milky Way. Adding to the stellar game of musical chairs, the two outbound stars merged to form a super- hot, blue star.
-Here is the image for graphical explanation.
"The star is traveling at an absurd velocity, twice as much as the star needs to escape the galaxy's gravitational field," explains Brown, a hypervelocity star hunter who found the first unbound star in 2005. "There is no star that travels that quickly under normal circumstances-something exotic has to happen."
So, the most interesting part is that astronomers indicate, that this exotic matter might be the always known but yet unknown dark matter. Is very bizarre to know that in our galaxy the way that dark matter pulls a rabbit out of the had with something so bizarre as contradicting the usual speeds of hyper-fast stars is pretty amusing, not only dark matter is invisible and is pulling apart the universe together with dark energy but now it seems it does it without a constant speed.
Could it be that the black hole help out by inertia the blue star and that added up with the pulling force of the dark matter distributed in our galaxy? who knows....but the amazing universe is more pulchritudinous than ever.

Time for another Wedding Wednesday link-up with Something Charming! So, I was inspired by a Men's Wearhouse advertisement. The quote says, "While everyone is looking at her, she'll be looking at you." & I decided I wanted to do a post on the groom's attire! I've done several of posts focusing on wedding gown designers like, Pronovias and Anna Campbell, so now it's time to look at some styles that make the groom as sexy as can be! I think the cutest thing is when a groom's style represents his normal style, rather than just rocking the normal black & white suit.
Dream Wedding #15: Groom's Attire
I love the mix & match & the shorts... :)
I think those are the best looks for summer!

Dove Cream Oil ShowerReviewing: Dove Shower Gel | Rating:
I received a bottle of Dove Cream Oil Shower as a gift, so I cannot say how much it costs and where it was purchased. The curved pink bottle looked very appealing, and when I opened the flip-top cap and smelled this shower gel I immediately wanted to try it. The scent was absolutely wonderful, rich but not overwhelming. The product is made with cherry blossom and almond oil; I think the fragrance is best described as "almondy." I love the feel of this shower gel on my skin. It is soft and creamy, with a strong moisturizing effect. Despite being called "cream oil, " it is not at all oily, and there is no oily feel on the skin afterwards. The fragrance lingers for a couple hours, which I enjoy.
The only minor drawback of this product is that it is not very lathery; those who prefer lots of foam might not like it for that reason.

The US government's Cash for Clunkers program has been widely praised for acting as an instant stimulus for the automotive industry, but has it been equally successful in meeting its environmental goals?
The rebate program steamed through the $1 billion earmarked for it in the past week, putting an estimated 250,000 new cars on US roads. An additional $2 billion has been approved by the House for the program, which is aimed at boosting car sales as well as getting cleaner and more fuel-efficient cars on the road.
But as the Senate now debates the extra funding, some are asking whether the fuel efficiency requirements for the newly-bought cars are good enough to compensate for some of the environmental costs of scrapping the old ones.
As the program currently stands, it's up to the consumer to determine how fuel efficient they'd like their new car to be. The new car must get a minimum of four more miles per gallon than their old vehicle to qualify for the $3,500 rebate, and 10 more miles per gallon to qualify for the $4,500 rebate, though allowances differ for trucks and SUVs.
For every customer that drives off with a shiny new car, a "clunker" must be permanently destroyed.
"[I]f consumers make the right decisions, [the program] could help reduce global warming and help reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and certainly save the individual consumers money at the pump," says Ann Mesnikoff, director of the green transportation campaign at the Sierra Club. But, she adds, "the framework of the program itself could enable consumers to make some very bad decisions. You could turn in a gas-guzzling 14 mile per gallon vehicle and turn around and buy [a truck] that gets 15 or 16 miles per gallon."
For this reason, the Senate needs more information on the type of cars purchased and surrendered through the program to help decide if and how the program should continue, say Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D) of California and Susan Collins (R) of Maine.
"Congress needs this data in order to determine if the fleet modernization program delivered significant fuel economy gains and oil savings," Senators Feinstein and Collins wrote in an open letter to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
The senators say they would like to see revisions to the program, including a two miles per gallon increase in the minimum fuel efficiency requirement. They also say the program should allow the purchase of fuel-efficient used vehicles.
Additionally, because clunkers have to be destroyed by injecting a lethal dose of sodium silicone into the engine, the cars can't be resold and far fewer parts than usual can be recycled.
"There's a lot of energy expended to make a new part," says Michael E. Wilson, executive vice president of Automotive Recyclers Association, adding that recycling auto parts saves 85 million gallons of oil per year in energy savings alone.
The two parts most in demand on the resale market are the engine block and the drive train, accounting for 60 percent of used-part sales, says Mr. Wilson But when cars are scrapped, the engine block is destroyed by the silicon, and the drive train can be sold only under certain conditions. Wilson would like to see some of those restrictions change if the program is renewed.
For Sierra Club's Ms. Mesnikoff, the jury's still out. "Before we put more money into it … we should know what we've spent our money on to date and know what people are turning in and what they're buying."

The beginning of a month means an elemental challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers. Basically, you choose 3 elements from the picture you can find here.
From the picture, I opted to use the colours, snowflakes and a wreath. I used a die for the wreath base and then threaded ribbon through it to add texture. I added die cut snowflakes in 2 different sizes and finished off with black and clear gems to add that extra sparkle. I mounted the wreath on a snowflake embossed piece of card and used a die cut sentiment which I put on so it bowed outwards.
Once I'd made the wreath I actually found it a challenge as to how to use it on the card. I tried a number of variations but settled on this one in the end!
Thank you for taking the time to read my posts and your comments are much appreciated.

This year's Academic Reputation Survey offers the best geographical and disciplinary spread yet.
The Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings are created using the world's largest invitation-only academic opinion survey – a unique piece of research.
The Academic Reputation Survey, available in 15 languages, uses UN data as a guide to ensure the response coverage is as representative of world scholarship as possible. It is also evenly spread across academic disciplines.
The questionnaire, administered on behalf of THE by Elsevier, targets only experienced, published scholars, who offer their views on excellence in research and teaching within their disciplines and at institutions with which they are familiar.
The 2015 rankings are based on a survey carried out between November 2014 and January 2015, which received a total of 10,507 responses from 142 countries. Some 9,794 responses were valid for the World Reputation Rankings: respondents on average had spent 15.3 years in higher education and research.
Achieving a better spread of responses
This year we achieved our most balanced spread of responses across the disciplines. The best represented subject was engineering and technology (20 per cent of responses), followed by the social sciences (19 per cent). The physical sciences achieved 17 per cent, the life sciences 15 per cent and the clinical, pre-clinical and health-related disciplines 13 per cent.
The representation of the arts and humanities dramatically improved this year, from 9 per cent in 2014 to 16 per cent.
The spread across the regions is better balanced than in the past, too. A total of 18.2 per cent of responses hail from North America, compared with 25 per cent last year, owing to the survey attracting a more globally representative sample.
In the survey, scholars are questioned at the level of their specific subject discipline. They are not asked to create a ranking themselves or to list a large range of institutions, but to name no more than 10 universities that they believe are the best, based on their own experience.
The survey data will be used alongside 11 objective indicators to help create the THE World University Rankings 2015-2016, which will be unveiled on 1 October 2015.
Calculating the scores
The reputation table ranks institutions according to an overall measure of their esteem that combines data on their reputation for research and teaching.
The two scores are combined at a ratio of 2:1, giving more weight to research because feedback from our expert advisers suggests that there is greater confidence in respondents' ability to make accurate judgements about research quality.
The scores are based on the number of times an institution is cited by respondents as being the best in their field. The number one institution, Harvard University, was selected most often. The scores for all other institutions in the table are expressed as a percentage of Harvard's, set at 100. For example, the University of Oxford received 80.4 per cent of the number of nominations that Harvard received, giving it a score of 80.4 against Harvard's 100. This scoring system, which differs from the one used in the World University Rankings, is intended to provide a clearer and more meaningful perspective on the reputation data in isolation.
The top 100 universities by reputation are listed, but THE has decided to rank only the top 50 because the differentials between institutions after that point become very narrow. The institutions that make up the second half of the table are listed in groups of 10, in alphabetical order, although the number in each group may vary owing to some institutions at the thresholds having the same scores.

CFFreedom needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 54 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
We are a reseller of toll free virtual PBX phone systems for small and home based businesses (like many independent designers). It's our goal to provide cost effective phone services to small businesses that help them project a more professional image.
Small businesses who want to appear more professional with an advanced phone system.
Looking at http://www.tollfreefreedom.com we need a logo to fill the upper left section (replacing what we already have). Logo should incorporate TollFreeFreedom.com and some feeling of professionalism. I would be looking for a rectangular logo (roughly 50px high by 250 px wide) - essentially, something that would look good at the top of a website. If things look good, we may ask the winning designer to help with a complete website overhaul/design.
Typical brand colors are reflex blue and white. Be creative in all other aspects including other color selection.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Do you guys know what time it is?!?! It's time for ALL LADY JULY!
I was going to make this post all gifs, but while that would be fun it wouldn't be incredibly informative.
If this is your first All Lady July I will break it down for you this way: it's a whole month of books written by women, books that celebrate women, lists about women, great guest posts about women (almost all written by women, except Brian. Brian is a dude, but we let him play anyway because All Lady July is all about the love).
Guest posters will be T from Traveling with T, Jamie from Books and Beverages, Heather from Capricious Reader, and frequent LE guest posters Jen and Brian. Thank you all for taking the time to be a part of this little celebration.
If you're interested in past All Lady July Celebrations, go here!
If that wasn't enough, I've got a fun giveaway going on too! My mom is quite the sewer, and I asked her to whip up something for me to giveaway that was light weight and summery. And she made me these great little table runners! Makes you feel patriotic just looking at them right?
I'll have the giveaway going until the 13th so that you have them for as much of summer as possible with which to celebrate them. (Open to US residents only, thanks and sorry). And sorry for the picture not being great, but wouldn't a bowl of potato salad look great on these? I think so too.
Enter here!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
In the meantime, I'm so excited about All Lady July! I hope you are too! See you Monday!

When you are faux tanning, you should you tan at least three days in advance. This ensures your tan has set completely, especially if you are using a lotion or a spray. Otherwise, the tan can be removed by powders and can cause irritations, especially for those with sensitive skin. Just remember, when faux tanning, for an even application, make sure to exfoliate the areas you plan on tanning. The product won't sit between dead skin or on top of it. Don't forget to moisturize after you have tanned. Not only does this help the tan last twice as long (at least two weeks), it also helps correct the dryness that occurs when you tan.

9 ounces cheese-filled tortellini, cooked and cooled
1 c. diced (cubed) ham
3/4 frozen baby peas, thawed*
1/2 c. Swiss cheese, cubed
2 T. minced green onions
1 T. minced parsley
2 c. prepared Hidden Valley Ranch Original Salad Dressing** (1 package Ranch salad dressing)
How to make it
Prepare your dressing and set aside.
Toss all ingredients together in a bowl.
Pour dressing over ingredients and toss to coat evenly. Chill until ready to serve.
*I prefer to use cut up snap peas (normally) in place of the frozen peas. You can use whichever you prefer, I just like the little bit of crunch from the snap peas in the salad. Unfortunately, my store was out. Hear that quite often don't you? Dang small towns.
**To make the dressing I use 1/2 c. milk and 1/2 c. buttermilk and 1 c. mayo, it's just a personal preference but, I think it really adds to the dish. In fact, people ask what the "secret" dressing is…lol!
Double or triple recipe depending on crowd size. This batch was quadrupled and filled a roaster pan to the brim.
Serves: 4-6

Hi Ben,ReplyDelete
I love this patch. Lovely depth and movement.
I uploaded a brassy type patch video from my all doepfer system a few weeks ago.
It's completely different, but similar. Or something.
Anyway, I'm absolutely loving the blog.

Book Summary
Presidential diarist and author Janis F. Kearney transforms civil rights legend Daisy Gatson Bates' life from black and white, to living color. The author, who interviewed Bates many times; recreates her conversations and interviews to "fill in" places left un-filled, and colors incidents and experiences, to bring Daisy Bates to life. Kearney plums the mysterious murder of Bates' mother, and the orphan's childhood; the young woman's prophetic decision to share a traveling salesman's life; her non-traditional role as co-publisher of an award winning newspaper; and her leadership role at a time, and place where women rarely led.
Between a Rock and a Hard Place is Daisy's "look back" at her life, and…finally, a self-analysis of how, and possibly, why she became the Daisy Gatson Bates for which she is known throughout the world. Author Janis F. Kearney recounts the leader's many friendships, relationships and associations that helps define who she was in the eyes of the world - from Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Clinton; First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt; the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.; Roy Wilson, NAACP President; Thurgood Marshall and Wiley Branton, NAACP attorneys, Maya Angelou and Jackie Robinson… and countless others.
The author met Daisy Bates in the summer of 1969, at the age of 16. From that moment, the high school student dreamed of working for the woman her father called one of Arkansas' greatest leaders – black or white.
The book starts with the early beginnings of Daisy's life and explains about the issue of Slavery in the south, even with the abolishment of Slavery, Society likes to pigeon people and this period of time was no exception. The book goes on to tell us about the life, determination and achievements of Daisy. How she managed to take all the negative that she felt and turn it into something good. It is the amazing story of Daisy who succeeded and became so much despite the colour of her skin and her background.
It was truly a fabulous read and I am delighted that I had the opportunity to read it and I recommend it!
