Half of lenders are offering or are about to offer a service where customers can remortgage on a self-service basis, IRESS' Mortgage Survey has found.
A growing number of lenders have already started contacting customers in advance of their deals expiring to offer them a product transfer.
Henry Woodcock, principal mortgage consultant at IRESS, said: "In terms of the digital journey half of lenders are offering or are about to offer a self-service mortgage aimed at remortgaging; streamlining the mortgage process."
He added: "Some brokers are starting to take a digital journey themselves.
"They will handle the first part of the journey for the consumer digitally and then push it through to the lender.
"In the next couple of years we expect that process to become digitalised using third party services, getting rid of paper – streamlining not just remortgaging but all of the sales process."
Lenders are clearly upping their game when it comes to adopting technology, as on mobile devices four in five provide affordability checks and two thirds offer a decision in principle.
Woodcock went on to say he expects the rise of 'artificial intelligence' – where cases are monitored at every stage of the journey – to transform the market over the next few years.
He thinks lenders, one by one, will start releasing data showing where certain customer types tend to be rejected from getting a mortgage.
Then using that data they could then provide a more prompt service to customers, as Woodcock summed up "an early no is better than a late no" if a case is rejected.

Gulliver's Travels has been the recipient of several designations: from Menippean satire to a children's story, from proto-Science Fiction to a forerunner of the modern novel.
Published seven years after Daniel Defoe's wildly successful Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels may be read as a systematic rebuttal of Defoe's optimistic account of human capability. In The Unthinkable Swift: The Spontaneous Philosophy of a Church of England Man Warren Montag argues that Swift was concerned to refute the notion that the individual precedes society, as Defoe's novel seems to suggest. Swift regarded such thought as a dangerous endorsement of Thomas Hobbes' radical political philosophy and for this reason Gulliver repeatedly encounters established societies rather than desolate islands. The captain who invites Gulliver to serve as a surgeon aboard his ship on the disastrous third voyage is named Robinson.
Possibly one of the reasons for the book's classic status is that it can be seen as many things to many different people. Broadly, the book has three themes:
- a satirical view of the state of European government, and of petty differences between religions.
- an inquiry into whether men are inherently corrupt or whether they become corrupted.
- a restatement of the older "ancients versus moderns" controversy previously addressed by Swift in The Battle of the Books.
In terms of storytelling and construction the parts follow a pattern:
- The causes of Gulliver's misadventures become more malignant as time goes on - he is first shipwrecked, then abandoned, then attacked by strangers, then attacked by his own crew.
- Gulliver's attitude hardens as the book progresses — he is genuinely surprised by the viciousness and politicking of the Lilliputians but finds the behaviour of the Yahoos in the fourth part reflective of the behaviour of people.
- Each part is the reverse of the preceding part — Gulliver is big/small//ignorant, the countries are complex/simple/scientific/natural, forms of Government are worse/better/worse/better than England's.
- Gulliver's view between parts contrasts with its other coinciding part — Gulliver sees the tiny Lilliputians as being vicious and unscrupulous, and then the king of Brobdingnag sees Europe in exactly the same light. Gulliver sees the Laputians as unreasonable, and Gulliver's Houyhnhnm master sees humanity as equally so.
- No form of government is ideal — the simplistic Brobdingnagians enjoy public executions and have streets infested with beggars, the honest and upright Houyhnhnms who have no word for lying are happy to suppress the true nature of Gulliver as a Yahoo and are equally unconcerned about his reaction to being expelled.
- Specific individuals may be good even where the race is bad — Gulliver finds a friend in each of his travels and, despite Gulliver's rejection and horror toward all Yahoos, is treated very well by the Portuguese captain, Don Pedro, who returns him to England at the novel's end.
Of equal interest is the character of Gulliver himself — he progresses from a cheery optimist at the start of the first part to the pompous misanthrope of the book's conclusion and we may well have to filter our understanding of the work if we are to believe the final misanthrope wrote the whole work. In this sense Gulliver's Travels is a very modern and complex novel. There are subtle shifts throughout the book, such as when Gulliver begins to see all humans, not just those in Houyhnhnm-land, as Yahoos.
Despite the depth and subtlety of the book, it is often classified as a children's story because of the popularity of the Lilliput section (frequently bowdlerised) as a book for children. It is still possible to buy books entitled Gulliver's Travels which contain only parts of the Lilliput voyage.

In a year where Mets ownership is looking to get the fans back, the team is sitting in first place in early May, and there is a buzz at Citi Field that has never been seen with such regularity before. But are the Mets are making a big blunder when it comes to their premium promotions in 2015?
Last night was Jacob deGrom Gnome Night. The first 15,000 fans received the giveaway. There was just one problem… the official attendance was 39,730.
The team was promoting the giveaway pretty heavily for nearly a month. It was everywhere, a dozen promos per broadcast, popup ads on Mets.com, Twitter and Facebook campaigns, and several emails as well. And after all that heavy pushing, they weren't even available for half the fans at the game.
In recent years, the Mets have cut their giveaways for premium items such as bobble-heads significantly from 25,000 to 20,000 in 2014, and now down to 15,000 for this season, despite attendance increasing the last two seasons.
Lines were long to get into the game before the gates opened, and I'm hearing from others on social media that the giveaways were long gone, even though they were in the park early.
Hey Mets – you've been trying to win the fans back. Don't leave a bad taste in the mouths of the people you're trying to get back. I understand that by limiting the number of items, you're encouraging people to arrive early and thus spend extra money at the park, but you're also creating negative goodwill instead of positive.
Think of the kid that was hoping to get the gnome, but his parents didn't arrive early enough… the parents had to hear it all game long and they may not bring their kid back because they don't want to hear the complaining again. You want to get the next generation at the ballpark early and often.
There are a couple of other premium giveaways coming up this season. I understand that it may be too late to order extras in time for some of the other giveaways, but you can still make up for it.
Prior to the game, announce that additional items are being ordered if you didn't get a giveaway through the gate, or that you can get a rain check and pick it up at the park at another game. You create the positive goodwill and guess what…you'll get someone back at another game if they want the item bad enough.
But what do I know?
If you were at the game last night, what was your experience?

East Melbourne Specialist Day Hospital provides an extensive range of fertility, gynaecology and IVF surgery in Melbourne.
Fertility surgery
If you've been trying to conceive for more than 12 months (or six months if you're over 35) with no success, your doctor may advise further testing and potentially fertility treatment.
Day surgery is often all that's needed to investigate the causes of infertility, and can also treat problems that affect your ability to conceive naturally. These include:
- Laparoscopy
- Endometriosis treatment
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) treatment
- Fallopian tubes surgery
- Microsurgery
At East Melbourne Specialist Day Hospital our specialist surgeons include some of Australia's leading experts in both male and female infertility issues.
Gynaecology procedures
Our doctors have years of experience diagnosing and treating the symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis. In some cases, laparoscopy surgery may be needed for diagnosis or management.
What is IVF?
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatments can offer many couples their best chance of conceiving naturally, and are normally used to overcome endometriosis, male infertility and unexplained infertility issues.
During IVF treatments, a woman's ovaries are stimulated to produce eggs that her fertility specialist will collect. This procedure is not complicated and means the eggs can then be prepared and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The fertilised embryos take two to five days to develop and are then transferred into the woman's uterus, using a method similar in technique to a pap smear.
As an IVF patient at East Melbourne Specialist Day Hospital, we can take care of the egg collection process as well as your specialist appointments, blood and ultrasound monitoring and counselling services. The embryology and andrology laboratories are also located onsite making your IVF journey much more convenient.
How long is the egg collection procedure?
Normally it will take between ten and 15 minutes, and you will need a light anaesthetic. IVF scientists will be in the theatre with your fertility specialist to instantly examine the eggs and transport them carefully to the laboratory next door for fertilisation.
How will I feel after surgery?
You may experience mild cramps after the egg collection procedure. Your doctor or IVF specialist will come to see you before you leave East Melbourne Specialist Day Hospital to advise how many eggs were successfully collected.
Visit Melbourne IVF to find out more about fertility surgery and IVF treatments.

We have shared so many resources on The Abundance Project like how to achieve abundance and steps to manifesting and visualizing abundance.
But, in what areas in life do we find abundance. This is very important because so many people are looking for abundance and happiness in the wrong places. Once you find 1 area in your life that has the largest amount of abundance. Work on it…focus on nurturing it and building it….Then…Let it grow.
That one abundance area will begin to open your eyes and spill into others that don't seem to be going in the right direction.
So here are 5 common places people find their abundance….there are many more.
Family, friends, that special someone. Creating and developing positive relationships serve as a grounding point in our lives. Even if our SELF is a complete mess having relationships with happy and loving people charges our soul. It's contagious. The ultimate goal with relationships is having people who love us and who we love. It's a powerful feeling and such a positive emotion it can power us thru tough times. Loneliness has always been one of the major benefactors towards depression, and healthy relationships are required to prevent you from breaking down. Take your relationships to the next level by placing your foot forward and showing gratitude, giving, and love towards that person.
Focusing on our own personal development is key to being abundant in most areas. Let go of negativity and focus on the good things coming to you. Develop your mind thru study and work. Strive to always learn new things. Constantly expand your awareness and discover new ways of expressing your divine gifts. Don't let it decay. Get creative. Find something that will challenge your mind and go do it. Clear your thoughts. Be honest. De-clutter your life, make it simple to live so you can add the important things back in.
If you have good health, use it. Go and do things that allow your body and brain to remember that you are healthy. Start a new sport, do an activity you have never done before. Or even better one that is very challenging physically. Why do you think so many people get such a mental WIN from running in marathons or competing in triathlons? It is empowering to show your body is amazing and you have the health to do it. If you can't do a marathon find something that is a little challenging and do it. If you do not have good health and it is something you can fix….FIX IT. If it is weight or diet, or bad habits…Get your health back. If it is a disease that you can't control make sure you are doing everything in your power to lighten the situation, or studying all materials and new information around it. Find some things that will show you your body can still do amazing things and do them. There will be peace in this.
Have the mindset of appreciation and think less of ourselves and what we want. It's been said that if you're feeling sad, go serve someone. Serve someone. Do something nice for them. Change your main reaction from I need and I want to….I need to help or I want to give. It can change your life. It takes your mind off your sorrows and helps you feel joy in your heart for bringing a bit of light into someone else's life. If you help someone in need, whether we know them or not, it can bring a peaceful joy otherwise unattainable. Enjoying the happiness of others is another way of extending your own happiness. The easiest gift to give is to treat everyone with kindness. If you have nothing you could always give your ear and truly listen to others. Be present and mindful to what others are really saying when they speak.
By definition nature is abundant. It is everywhere. On the weekend, escape to nature or a place where you can feel peace in time for a fresh start to the work week. Get outside whenever possible to breathe in the fresh air and feel the sunshine. Both of which studies have shown to have a positive effect on our health and our mood. For your body to function the way it was designed we need at least 20 mins a day of full sun. Observe the natural beauty that surrounds you and feel a sense of connection. Appreciate the details and miracles that can be found in nature.

Peter grew up in Melbourne in the Fifties and Sixties and attended a series of very nasty Catholic schools. One night, during an air raid he escaped - no, wait, I made that up. What really happened was a very ordinary life, punctuated.
By the age of nine Peter was an accomplished raconteur ('Dear Mrs Twohig, Peter tells stories,' was his first and fairest review). His mother, a journalist and peerless BSA, explained to him that bullshit is even more convincing (and memorable) when written down. She pointed out that the radio serials he loved were actually scripted. He got it.
It was an easy leap from performing art to literature. During his De La Salle years he wrote quite a bit, and regularly contributed in the school magazine, the Eagle. Getting published was easy; getting censored was even easier. Back then, you didn't get rejection slips, you got rejection beatings. Nevertheless, Peter kept on writing.
He attended several universities, and studied till he was blue in the face (literally true, though that's another story). He became a prolific diarist with a view to publishing a novel. But the Lord of Reincarnation intervened (again) and sidetracked him. At least, that's his story. Eventually, discouraged, he eventually became a Naturopath & Homoeopath, but really, he was a just a disenchanted artist.
Then the L of R took pity, and sayeth unto him, 'Okay, pal, you wanted it; now you got it, ' or something (That's how the L of R spakes [sic]). And he got it.

Ten Things You Need
Stuff is great; I think all of can agree on that. But for college, some things are better than others. Often things we don't even think of can be crucial additions to any College lifestyle. With that said, here are ten things you need (or at least should) have at your place.
Frozen Fruit
You're in college, bro. You're not getting fresh fruit; blueberries cost more than a burrito, and we know where your priorities lie. But big bags of frozen fruit are much, much cheaper, and are fine to eat, thawed or frozen. Plus, frozen berries may be the best high snack in history: healthy, cheap, and impossible to gorge on; the cold keeps you paced.
Half a Pack of cigarettes
You may not smoke, but someone you know or meet will. And when they need a cigarette at 2 AM on a Friday night, you're an American hero.
A Backup Pair of Headphones
Especially if we're talking about iPod headphones, you're going to need a backup. They get lost easily, and what else are you going to do, listen to people? Nope. Get a backup.
Two (2) Condoms
A condom is a staple of any overly hopeful males wallet and sock-drawer, as it should be. This, however, is a rookie move: one should have at least two condoms with him at all time. Because think about it: if it goes poorly you're going to be thrilled to have a backup. And if it goes well? Then a second one is going to be a must, too.
A Non-Mesh Trashcan
This is more a critique of mesh trashcans. Why would you have that? Who needs a trash-can but thinks "man, I sure wish this trash could just breathe a little more in the room." Plus, a non-mesh trashcan can handle liquid if you overdrank. Mesh is a trap.
Some Batteries
Taking batteries out of things to put in other things is a dangerous game, muchacho. You'll take them out of the remote for your Xbox controller, then from the fire alarm for the remote, and then you'll die from a fire. Don't want to die? Buy some batteries.
Too much toilet paper
There is no such thing as too much toilet paper. There is, however, such a thing as "too little." Buy too much toilet paper. We'll see who has the last laugh.
Eight (8) beers.
This is the minimum number of beers to have, as determined by science. Eight beers means it's enough to share but not too much to be out of money from sharing. It's a gift, it's a dinner accompaniment, whatever: it's beer. And you need eight of them around.
Advanced: A bottle of wine
For when you have to girls, need a gift, or need to class up a dinner. Forever alone and completely class-less? Then it's an emergency one-man escape raft to drunkville. But seriously, it's for the other things, bro.
Baking Soda for your fridge
Your fridge smells evil. Stop it.
An Excuse
By far the most important thing to have in your house is something you can't touch: you need an excuse. You need one thing or reason to justify whatever you want: if you can't host people, it's because of the heat, if you were late to class, your power went out, etc, etc. And of course, late at night you may need something cool enough in your house to justify bringing an interested guest. And if it doesn't go so hot, you may need another excuse to get them out.

LAS VEGAS - The Bockwinkel Bologna Blowout had a particularly upbeat and heartwarming atmosphere this year thanks to the evening's main honorees, the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. It was maybe unusual for 16 women to be the focus of a wrestling awards ceremony, but their recognition speaks to the broad and welcoming reach of CAC's "Ring of Friendship."
SLAM! Wrestling's Greg Oliver ran a roaming mic to open the Blowout, at Las Vegas' Gold Coast Hotel & Casino. In honor of George Napolitano's upcoming induction into the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame, Oliver acknowledged the critical role of photographers in documenting wrestling history, recognizing Scott Romer, Mike Lano, Wayne Palmer and several other photographers in the room. As the room slowly filled, he pulled out Bob Orton, Jr., Sam Houston, Dawn Lemke, and newcomer Madison Miles. When Buddy Lane was asked if he had any memorable stories to share, he replied, "none you can say over the air."
The evening's formal program began with memorials for recently deceased board member Tom Drake and the person that past-CAC president Karl Lauer called "the backbone of the Cauliflower Alley Club," Ruth Silverstone.
Following the remembrances, Bill Apter, brought to the room "live via satellite," began the introductions of the performers of GLOW. Only a few blocks away from their original home in the now-demolished Riviera casino, the performers from the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling were honored with the 2017 CAC Women's Wrestling Award.
Created by Matt Cimber in 1986, during the afterglow of the rock 'n wrestling connection, GLOW was broadcast nationally to over 50 markets and lasted four seasons. GLOW is experiencing a full-blown revival, with a Netflix-produced series due in the summer.
In her speech, Trace Meltzer (Roxy Astor), said that "if you go in a room anywhere and say you're a GLOW girl, people know what that is." Each honoree was unfailingly upbeat and energetic. "If I had a flower for every time my sisters made me smile," said Lily Crabtree (Corporal Kelly #2), "I could walk through a garden forever."
Dee Booher (Matilda the Hun) performed her theme song, "I Eat Raw Meat," and as she finished, she grabbed MC David Buckler in a headlock
They each thanked GLOW creator Matt Cimber, who in turn acknowledged that "it was always the girls who made the show." Cimber told a story of meeting CAC-founder "Iron" Mike Mazursky when Cimber first came to Hollywood, remembering it as one of the biggest thrills of his life. The philosophy of GLOW, he said, was to make it "the Hee-Haw of wrestling," like the rodeo clown who has to do everything the cowboys do but also make you laugh while they do it.
The GLOW honorees were:
Patricia Summerland (Sunny, the California Girl)
Eileen O'Hara (Melody Trouble Vixen)
Debi Miller (Dallas, the Yellow Rose of GLOW)
Sandy Manley (Gremlina)
Andrea Laird Micheil (Angel)
Cheryl Rusa (Lightning)
Tracee Meltzer (Roxy Astor)
Dawn Maestas (Godiva)
Lily Crabtree (Corporal Kelly #2)
Kell'e Favara (Beastie the Road Warrior)
Jeanne Basone (Hollywood)
April Hom Enriquez (The Royal Hawaiian)
Angelina Altishin (Little Egypt)
Dee Booher (Matilda the Hun)
Helena Le Count (Daisy)
Janeen Jewett (Palestina)
Benny Espinosa (Referee)
Matt Cimber (Director and creator)
Tony Cimber (co-director)
They closed with the GLOW rap, bringing this year's Blowout to a raucous, joyous conclusion.
On Wednesday night, the CAC closes its annual reunion with a formal banquet and a number of awards.

Alhamdulillah! On the 8th February 2015, parents of our little hearts gathered at Masjid An-Nahdhah for IMSSAKids' Orientation from 2.30pm to 6.30pm. Approximately 100 parents got an opportunity to get to know more about their child's holistic development that has been planned for this year.
Many parents have gathered here with us to know what's happening in our madrasah and what are their kids learning this year. Parents also learnt how to monitor the kids from home so as to instil character and Islamic knowledge.
To add on to that, parents were also informed of ways of monitoring their child's progress from home as they join hands with their ustazahs to develop young Qaris and instill good character in the little ones.
We have discussed various strategies on how students could be nurtured in a way to take initiatives in reading Al-Quran at home independently.
Insha Allah, we hope to garner more support from the parents of our little hearts in moulding a blessed generation of Saalihins in future.

I put together a sendoff care package of college essentials for my brother. {See below} Included in the kit were knob notes, the college cookbook, the Brook's Brothers book on How to Be A Gentleman, Ramen Noodles, Febreeze, a hammer that also doubles as a bottle opener, some gift cards, and other "important" essentials {such as ping pong balls}. We had a fabulous day and my Mom deserves a big pat on the back for pulling everything together! See past graduation posts here and here.

Fourth of July weekend, Independence Day , found me camped at a Interstate State Park. I was my intention to become more familiar with the Tamron 17-50mm. My site was backed onto a good sized grassy area that was pretty ideal for lawn games. Many of the sites around were occupied by an extended family group that spanned at least 3 generations. On this particular evening, all of the children became involved in a soccer game that was officiated by Grandpa. This was not an idle game, but rather played by some rather talented children. I could not resist temptation and out came the 400mm again (it seems that I cannot stay away from that lens).

Overset gridding is a technique that avoids the topological complexity of generating abutting, point-to-point connected, multi-block grids by allowing the component grid blocks to overlap.
"What we are releasing today for production use is the result of a multi-year research effort Pointwise conducted with funding from the U.S. Air Forces Arnold Engineering Development Complex, Air Force Materiel Command. That research was followed by a full year of fine-tuning in preparation for release to all our customers."
The price paid for that flexibility of overset gridding is the need to ensure a sufficient degree of overlap so the CFD solver can accurately share data between the component grids. The overlap is computed using overset grid assembly software. Users of OGA software typically rely on a circuitous collection of home-grown tools that are patched together. By integrating OGA (in the form of the PEGASUS and Suggar++ software packages) with Pointwise, the entire process is made more efficient.
Pointwise has been a proud, long-time sponsor of and participant in the bi-annual Overset Grid Symposium, said John Chawner, Pointwises president. This release of Pointwise helps us continue our integral relationship with that community.
Other features in Pointwise Version 17.3 R1 include improved support for PLOT3D, ANSYS Fluent®, STL, and NX files, a more robust T-Rex, anisotropic tetrahedral extrusion, hybrid mesher, and several user experience enhancements.
Pointwise, Inc. is solving the top problem facing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) today reliably generating high-fidelity meshes. The companys Pointwise software generates structured, unstructured and hybrid meshes; interfaces with CFD solvers, such as ANSYS FLUENT, STAR-CCM+, ANSYS CFX, OpenFOAM, and SU2 as well as many neutral formats, such as CGNS; runs on Windows (Intel and AMD), Linux (Intel and AMD), and Mac, and has a scripting language, Glyph, that can automate CFD meshing. Large manufacturing firms and research organizations worldwide rely on Pointwise as their complete CFD preprocessing solution.

Vascular naevi are skin conditions in which small or large areas of skin pigmentation are caused by the permanent dilation of blood capillaries.
This condition is seen as an area of skin in which blood capillaries have dilated, due either to injury or inflammation.
This is not a contagious condition and is characterized by redness of the skin. It can be either localized (in one area only) or general (affects all of the skin).
When considering treatment, it is important to consider the cause for the inflammation. In the case of a skin allergy, the client should avoid contact with the irritant. If the cause is unknown, the person should have test, preferably blood test done, to try and identify what is causing the inflammation.
Dilated Capillaries / Telangiectasia
This is a condition in which the superficial blood vessels are permanently dilated. This is not an infectious condition and is characterized by small, red visible blood capillaries. They mostly appear in areas where the skin is neglected, dry or fine, such as the cheeks and around the naso-labial folds.
It can be treated by using a green corrective camouflage cosmetic concealer, or can be removed by either electrolysis or IPL treatments.
Spider Naevi / Stella Haemangiomas
This condition is characterized by dilated blood vessels, with smaller dilated capillaries radiating from them. It is not an infectious condition and the name comes from their appearance as the dilated capillaries look like a spider's legs with a body.
Common sites include the cheek area, but may occur on the upper body, the arms and the neck. They are usually caused by an injury to the skin.
They can be concealed using camouflage cosmetic or treated via electrolysis or IPL treatments.
Naevi vasculosis / Strawberry Naevi
This is a condition in which red or purplish raised marks appear on the skin at birth. It is not an infectious condition and the naevus have different sizes. It can occur on any area of the body.
In about 60% of cases, these naevi disappear by the age of 6 years. Treatment is usually not necessary; concealing cosmetics can be applied if desired.
Capillary Naevi / Port-Wine Stains
This characterized by large areas of dilated capillaries, which contrast noticeably from the surrounding areas. It is also not an infectious condition and has a smooth, flat surface.
About 25% of these occur on the head and are most likely formed at the foetal stage. Naevi may also be found on the neck and face. Camouflage cosmetic creams can be applied to disguise these areas.

Before Labor Day Weekend, it had been almost four years since I was last in New Orleans. I had left the city because I was pregnant, confused and a little bit terrified about what was going to happen next.
While the news tends to judge the girls who hide their pregnancies from the family and friends, I get. Finally cluing my mom in on what was going on in my body was absolutely scary. When she didn't leave her room for 2 days because she was just crying, even scarier.
I needed to go back to New Orleans because so much of me the past two years has believed that that was were I was supposed to end up. That New Orleans was part of my past and part of my future.
But this past weekend, I realized New Orleans is not where I'm supposed to end up right now. Yes, I want to be able to go spend a long weekend there every few months. I'll start saving when I start to have my own kids just in case they want to go to Tulane.
and maybe even graduate.
I have at least a year until I can even start to figure out where I'm going to live next. Lots of things are going on in my life right now that mean Eldora is also not a part of my future once Fall 2015 arrives. And I'm okay with that.
Realizing that NOLA isn't where I'm supposed to be has left me a little bit confused and a whole lot excited. Because now every spot that has a daily average temperature of 68 degrees, cold just isn't my thing, is a complete option now.
As long as that place is big dog friendly.

This post has turned out to be a bit random (again). This is how my camera roll looks like, a bit of this, and a bit of that, but always things I love. These are still from my London and West Dean trip.
I love:
- Beautiful stores like Cloth House, where every single nook and cranny is filled with inspiration (and thing you wish you could buy), and the window display is just superb
- fabric, fabric, fabric,
- and buntings
- Sharing an afternoon tea with a good friend with lots of talk and laughter. The clotted cream and nice china is just an added bonus
- Paper garlands using Liberty paper (at the Liberty store obviously), I would have done them differently though *wink, wink
- Neon signs
- Rooms with views. The first picture is the view from my room at West Dean, the second is from my room in London after I complained that the room assigned at the beginning was overlooking the trash and the noisy street. Pheeww!! Sometimes it helps to complain I guess.

Nowadays, one standard answer to various exaggerated claims about Gödel's second incompleteness theorem (the unprovability of consistency) is that even if an interesting mathematical theory could prove its own consistency, this wouldn't help us much because inconsistent theories also prove their own consistency, (so we would still have no idea whether the theory is consistent). (For instance, I think this sort of remarks, without further references, can be found in Franzen's and Smith's books, but I don't have them handy now).
In a somewhat uninspired moment of mine, I wondered why this rather straightforward observation didn't get through to the wider philosophical audience earlier and when it was formulated. The earliest mention I run into so far (although, it's not like I spent days browsing stuff systematically) is in Reichenbach's 1948 unpublished lecture notes (which, by now, have been published in 1978). The fragment comes from the first volume:
This would mean that the proof of consistency of the language L could be given within L. A simple analysis shows that this would not improve the situation, since in this case our proof of consistency of L would be of value only if we were sure that L is consistent. In case L were not consistent, we could also deduce the statement of the consistency of L, with the qualification that then the negation of the statement were deducible too. Thus if the consistency of L were deduced within L, this fact would not prove the consistency of L.
So, one reason might be that the remark occurred in lecture notes which were unpublished for a while (by the way, if you know of Reichenbach's point being published earlier, I'd appreciate a reference), and even when they were published, it was in a two-volume set of Reichenbach's papers, which very few non-specialist would buy (or grab from a library shelf, for that matter).
But I don't think this is the whole story. The point is simple enough and certainly came to minds of many bright people who gave the issue proper consideration. The reason why this is often omitted by (hack?) philosophers is not that they are too dumb to get this point (well, at least some of them aren't). Rather it is that wishful thinking sometimes prevents people from considering objections to their view. The perspective of reaching strong philosophical conclusions by relying on some fancy mathematical apparatus, which (they think) would lend splendor to the philosophical claims themselves, is quite tempting.
Another reason is that Reichenbach's point applies to cases where one wants to claim that mathematics is somehow epistemologically flawed and that there is no mathematical certainty because mathematics cannot prove its own consistency. (... and if real mathematical knowledge is unattainable, then no knowledge is, science is useless, blah blah, blah...). It doesn't help much when one wants to suggest that since we, humans, can establish consistency claims, and mathematical "devices" cannot, our minds are not computing machines. In this argument, it seems that no deep epistemological considerations of the former sort are needed.
Incidentally, it seems that despite the fact that I've seen some philosophers using both strategies in one passage (or breath) both stances are incompatible. Either you say that mathematics is unreliable and then you cannot rely on it in an argument against computational theories of mind, or you rely on mathematics, give an argument in philosophy of mind, but cannot simultaneously deny the reliability of mathematics. (By the way, (1) even if you do the latter, you admit that mathematics can be done reliably by humans and the fact that a mathematical theory cannot prove its consistency has no bearing on whether humans can use it sensibly, (2) the sketched argument against computational theories of mind also doesn't work, but that's a whole different story).

I'll be adding more ictures later, but my sister and I took our kids and went to Utah for a few days at the beginning of August. Surprised my parents and had a good time. My dad takes all the pictures when we get together, so when I get more, I'll post them. Here's a few for now.
We celebrated my dad and my grandpa's (they came all the way down from Canada!) birthdays. 50 and 75...so cool!

Disneyland-Oh Sweet Melody
My friend from my BYU days wasn't going to use her last day on her park hoppers so she generously donated them to our family and we took our first trip to Disneyland---only paying for Mikey! What a deal! Thank you Melody for sponsoring our trip to the happiest place on earth. I have so many pictures (and I didn't even take pics at all the places I should have) that I'm not going to caption them all. Use your imagination : )

A Penny for Your Thoughts: A Survival Kit for Kids & Adults
Ask the right questions & kids will talk! These cards spark conversation & help kids connect with the important people in their lives.
A Penny for Your Thoughts: A Survival Kit for Kids & Adults
Ask the right questions & kids will talk! These cards spark conversation & help kids connect with the important people in their lives.
Our Kids Need To Talk
Standard verbal communication doesn't speak to all kids. We wanted to do more than that. We worked hard to create a tactile, kid-friendly experience that opens the door to kids' social and emotional lives.
These cards accomplish three important things:
- Increase honest, open connection between kids and adults.
- Foster positive ways to communicate feelings and talk about important life experiences.
- Teach kids skills to manage their emotions, build confidence, and help solve problems.
We are Kathryn & Janine
Growing up, we received clear messages that girls were emotional, boys were rational, and showing negative emotions was a sign of weakness. We've since learned this was so wrong. Over and over, research is finding that even more than IQ, emotional awareness and the ability to handle feelings are strong predictors of relational, academic, and later-life success for boys and girls.
The scary truth is, kids who don't learn social and emotional skills while growing up are at greater risk for developing depression or anxiety, being bullied or bullying others, and are much more vulnerable to relational, academic, and professional setbacks in life.
The Nuts & Bolts
While social and emotional skills don't happen overnight, learning them can be fun, connecting and completely within reach. A Penny For Your Thoughts cards are designed to spark conversation and help kids talk with the important people in their lives about how they feel, what their fears and dreams are, who makes them laugh, what makes them feel small, what skills they can use to best manage their feelings, and much much more...
Target Age: Boys and girls ages 4 and up.
This deck of cards Includes four categories:
- Feelings: Kids learn to recognize and name their emotions.
- Person: Kids learn to identify the people involved in their emotions.
- Places: Kids learn to connect the dots between where they began to feel a certain way and who was involved.
- Skills: Kids learn valuable skills to manage big emotions and identify their unique strengths.
How it Works
Pick a card from any of the four areas on the diagram:
It doesn't matter where you start on the diagram. Move through the areas relevant to the child's experience, which may include one or all of the areas. You can explore How they Feel (Emotion), Who contributes to those Feelings (Person/People), Where the Feelings occur (Place), and which Skills they can use to help themselves feel better. (Skill).
- I feel Angry when Mom is too busy with other things at Home. The skills I might use include Listening to good music for 10 minutes to help quiet my mind before I talk to her about my feelings.
- I feel Afraid when a Bully teases me at School. What skill can I use? I can speak up and say "Stop. That's Not OK".
- When I feel Worried at a Party the skills I can use might include: Talking to a safe adult, Breathing in and out on a count of four, or using the five senses to calm my mind and body.
The Scoop on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children learn and apply the skills necessary to manage their emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, and make responsible decisions.
SEL is based on the understanding that the best learning for children happens in the context of connected relationships, where learning can truly be challenging, engaging, and meaningful. Learn More about SEL at Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL).
Where We Began
We're both therapists and one of us is a mother of two; good communication is essential for us, though not always easy! We dreamed up the idea for these cards as we sought more interesting, creative resources to use in our work with kids and tweens. Our first challenge was to figure out several ways to communicate feelings as they relate to people, places and skills. We spent hours and hours researching and thinking about a set of images and phrases that would communicate kids' "important stuff" in creative and expressive ways - ways that inspire ALL kids to speak up.
Our illustrator, Jamie Letourneau, set to work, and we began asking friends, family, and colleagues to review the cards so that we could integrate the feedback to ensure they were user-friendly and clearly helpful for kids, tweens, parents, educators, counselors, and psychotherapists.
We created A Penny For Your Thoughts cards because kids really do need to talk about the important stuff in their lives from the inside out! Plus, these cards foster positive ways to communicate feelings, build confidence, help solve problems, and increase connection.
Risks and challenges
The deck is halfway there! Help us complete the illustrations with our our fantastic illustrator - Jamie Letourneau - who continues to meticulously draw our vision of each card, ensuring A Penny For Your Thoughts cards a unique style and clear message. Once we complete the illustrations our final hurdle is to get the cards professionally printed and packaged.
This is our challenge, as we need a printing run of at least 1000 decks - a costly undertaking. We need your financial help to make this happen, and we won't take a profit! If we exceed our financial goal, we wlll use the money to expand our vision and develop cards for teens, couples and families.
In exchange for your support, we are offering some really cool rewards. In addition to the cards themselves, we are offering a signed, limited edition deck of the cards, a unique deck with an illustration of your child, and an opportunity to donate a deck to a school or organization of your choice to benefit all kids.

Focal Piece of the Month
For our final birthstone Focal Piece of 2012, we are highlighting the Blue Topaz. Being a December baby myself, I have a bit of "advanced" knowledge about this particular month's birthstone. When I was in high school, my parents bought me a birthstone ring I'd picked out for Christmas. The stone is a Blue Zircon; I still have it and wear it occasionally. At the time, the jeweler told me that the December birthstone is "any synthetic blue stone." I've seen Aquamarine also attributed to December on occasion, although it is most often associated with March. Since Blue Topaz is cited in both resources we have been using for the majority of this year, I will defer to them for the sake of this feature.
As cool and inviting as a blue lake on a blistering summer day, December's birthstone is derived from the Sanskrit word "tapas," meaning fire. This is because Blue Topaz was considered by ancient civilizations to have cooling properties. Not only was it believed to cool boiling water when thrown into the pot, but to calm hot tempers as well! This gemstone was credited with many other healing powers, among them the ability to cure insanity, asthma, weak vision, and insomnia. The Blue Topaz was even thought to have magical properties in its ability to make its wearer invisible in a threatening situation
Blue Topaz is the hardest of the silicate minerals. While pure Topaz is colorless, minor changes of elements within the stone result in a variety of other colors, such as blue, pale green, red, yellow, and pink.
The blue hue is created when Topaz is heated, whether the heat source is natural or engineered by man. The three shades of Blue Topaz are Sky, Swiss and London Blue. The latter is the deepest blue and is often used as a less expensive substitute for Sapphire.
Topaz is found primarily in Brazil, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Pakistan, China, and the United States.
A gift of Blue Topaz is symbolic of love and fidelity. Luckily, this cool blue gemstone has no legendary power to put out the burning flame of love!
An alternate birthstone for December is the Turquoise. So named because it was initially brought to Europe by way of Turkey, this stone is one of the first gems to be used in jewelry. Turquoise was considered by ancients to be a sacred stone, protective against all manners of evil and ill health. This beautiful gemstone is mined in Iran and the southwestern United States. A gift of Turquoise represents friendship and luck.
From Mike Madigan at Numerologist.com:
The North American tradition says December is symbolized by three choices of three blue stones: Tanzanite, Turquoise or Blue Topaz. The Hindu religion also assigns it to Topaz, and the Russian and Polish traditions assign it to Turquoise. The Arabic, Roman and Hebrew traditions say the rosy-colored Ruby rules this month.

Trimbakeshwar jyotirling is one the twelve jyotirling which are dedicated to bhagwan shiva and found across the Indian sub-continent. This temple is located in the Nasik district of the state Maharashtra but the locals address this place as Trimbak.
The temple is made of beautiful black stone which is carved in magnanimous and mesmerizing stones, the extraordinary thing about the temple is that it is considered to be the origin place of Godavari river which is a name given to river Ganga which is the largest river in the India Sub-continent. The construction of the temple was ordered by great Nanasaheb the son of Peshwa Baji Rao.
According to the mythological legends much before the origin of our world the universe was a consist of only three major powers and it was Lord brahma and lord Vishnu who went into the quarrel of being the most supreme as there was no one else to challenge, both tried to show off their powers but no decision came which may accept the superiority of one over another, suddenly the contest was disturbed by the presence of a lightning pillar that divided the universe from middle, both were awestruck by its presence and decided to find the end of the pillar and whoever find the end first will be declared the winner, they both went into the opposite direction and came back defeated as they were unable to find the end but brahma lied that did found the end of the pillar, on hearing this lord vishnu accepted his defeat but suddenly the pillar of light broke from its center and its pieces were spread among the universe and a power of extreme aura came out of it which was none other than shiva both were spell bounded by his presence and excepted him the supreme power in universe, later the pieces of the pillar which distributed fell on earth and are known as the twelve jyotirling.
Some interesting facts about Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling

I am digging Yellowcard's new album, Southern Air.
Their music hasn't changed a lot & they're still the same Yellowcard. Makes me reminisce to when I was younger & in my fricken Dickie's & studded belt & baby tees. {haha, embarrassing, I know!} & seeing them play at the epicentre, puts a smile on my face. {sigh} the days when I didn't have a care in the world.

Ramin Shokrizade On Strategies Used By Companies To Monetise Freemium Games
4 July 2013Gamasutra:
In that game the play primarily centers around completing "dungeons". To the consumer, a dungeon appears to be a skill challenge, and initially it is. Of course once the customer has had enough time to get comfortable with the idea that this is a skill game the difficulty goes way up and it becomes a money game. What is particularly effective here is that the player has to go through several waves of battles in a dungeon, with rewards given after each wave. The last wave is a "boss battle" where the difficulty becomes massive and if the player is in the recommended dungeon for them then they typically fail here. They are then told that all of the rewards from the previous waves are going to be lost, in addition to the stamina used to enter the dungeon (this can be 4 or more real hours of time worth of stamina).
At this point the user must choose to either spend about $1 or lose their rewards, lose their stamina (which they could get back for another $1), and lose their progress. To the brain this is not just a loss of time.
These strategies aren't particularly complicated or technical, they are just well refined pieces of psychological persuasion. In particular, the "reward removal" ploy quoted above comes straight from the minds of the arcade game cabinet makers. It's "insert coin to continue" in a different presentation. You invest so much time into a game that you'd rather pay a little to keep going, than forfeit your progress.1

You are ready for another session of unlimited masturbation? I know you want it and you can go for it but you need to follow my instructions closely. You need to watch me every move. I shake my ass for you. Turn around show you my thong and big round ass. Move my legs high up in the air. Do you like it ? You can start jerking now if you want but dont climax until I order you to. Ok!?
Can you masturbate to this gorgeous Godess? She knows you want to put your dick deep in her pussy but she thinks your dick is too small. Can you live with this humiliation? She keeps on teasing you and pretending she will give it up to you if you say the right words. Do you know what to say to her to turn her on? If so will this cock teasing brunette give you what you want? Or will she only play with your emotions?
Are you ready for a hot babe? This gorgeous Godess feels in total control when she teases you. Her big titties almost falling out of her bathing suite. She has you begging for more, yet cruelly she only shows what she wants to. With your dick in your hand you can only masturbate to her sexy figure. One day maybe she can be yours. What a sick punishment. This cruel Mistress is a true cock tease
Sarah Blake is a very cute girl that loves wearing short skirts. She is going to show off her cute figure when she puts on the skirt. There isn't a slave that can handle his cock when she is modeling and teasing with her short skirt on. She even points to her tiny pussy as she is teasing and flirting with her slave on cum control.

it's our kind of music
August 13, 2017
Scott Foley, purveyor of dust
Remind me not to look for other online reviews before I write my own. Apparently, I'm not the first to write about Tyler Childers' Purgatory. I drove thru Kentucky a couple weeks ago. All I remember is thunderstorms, humidity, horses, lightning bugs and life-changing sea bass. That, and alcohol. But apparently Childers has spent his life in Eastern Kentucky. His new CD sums up that misspent youth, gathering songs from throughout the last several years (some of which have been previously released). The project arrives amidst a genuine hubbub, which is curious given the fact that he spent most of his touring years quite close to home. I'm sure much of the buzz began with the news that fellow Bluegrass Stater Sturgill Simpson had chosen Childers' collection as his first production project (along with veteran producer David Ferguson). The team admirably balances more restrained, traditional acoustic arrangements with a couple more adventurous moments.
Purgatory serves as a fine companion piece to Sturgill's own 2013 solo debut. Both demonstrate an eclectic grasp on a range of roots sounds, from regional 'grass to hard country. The two records are also deeply grounded in a real sense of place, showing glimpses of a grasp on Life the Universe and Everything (subjects Simpson has wholeheartedly embraced in his subsequent albums).
Like Parker Millsap or John Fullbright from a couple states to the left, Tyler Childers delivers his stories in a fully realized, soulful voice, equally conversant in the more trad folk and more contemporary alt. vernacular. "I Swear (to God)" is a loose and good-natured ramble, one of several cuts ornamented by Stuart Duncan's bluegrass fiddle. It paints a vivid, Prine-esque portrait of the artist as a young roustabout, "Working on a building out of hand hewn brimstone". "Whitehouse Road" holds the signpost for the harder edge of things, boasting boldly of long evenings of questionable choices and general abandon. In this guise, Childers brings to mind a young Steve Earle.
Tyler Childers' lyrical promise is demonstrated on pieces like the 'grassy "Born Again": "Once I was and you were too / And we were both the word of truth / We built this world together / With a loud and mighty bang". Like recent releases from Jason Eady or Colter Wall (which featured a guest pass from Childers), he works in familiar forms and themes, but instead of falling into the ruts and habits of contemporary country writers, Childers explores a more personal and poetic expression, establishing himself as one of our present day writers for whom words matter. "Tattoos" is confident in its quiet, with sweet fiddle and waves of pedal steel: "The past is fading / Over time / But it's still hanging on for life".
While Purgatory earns its stripes by demonstrating its ability in these pre-established arenas of folk, country and bluegrass, the album's two highwater moments demonstrate Childers' willingness to stare down those boundaries. "Feathered Indians" is simply a great song, a piece Guy Clark would've been pleased to write (or Sturgill Simpson). In its portrayal of relational bliss, it celebrates the latter frontiers on the writers' journey from troubled roustabout to settled guy. It's also complimented by the collection's strongest lyric: "Well my belt buckle makes impressions / On the inside of her thigh / There are little feathered Indians / Where we tussled through the night / If I'd known she was religious / Then I wouldn't have come stoned / To the house of such an angel / Too fucked up to get back home". Musically, the CD's peak comes with "Universal Sound", a nod to the perennial hum that lies beneath, within and throughout all of Life. My sense is that it's the song that most clearly bears Sturgill Simpson's fingerprint as a producer. Like much of Simpson's Metamodern Sounds, it preaches a decidedly universal message, with just a hint of psychedelic philosophy. While it's Purgatory's most obvious outlier, "Universal Sound" might offer a glimpse of Tyler Childers' next record. But first he's probably got some more living to do, more stories to collect.
It's my sense that for just about any roots music album that's been released, there are about half a dozen blogs willing to heap praise upon it. A CD or digital file will arrive, heralded by Mr Twang or Meat 'n Potatoes as the best thing ever. I'll give almost anything a couple minutes, but it really is remarkable how much "pretty good" music there is in the world.
I don't want pretty good stuff for Routes & Branches. While I play an absurd amount of new music, it's honestly just a fraction of what I'm given access to on a weekly basis. That said, I love the process, from hearing of the pending arrival of a new record to the first single or two, then the promise inherent in the arrival of the full thing.
Alright. I admit that it's an addiction. It's a perpetual merry-go-round, a carousel with no exit except to leap from your horsey and trust you'll avoid anything sharp on the way down. While each week is a struggle, I'm by no means ready to exit the ride (though I wouldn't mind if we slowed down a bit). This week's playlist is one of the year's heaviest with regards to debuts (they're marked with a capital "D" in our playlists from week to week). Big Ones by David Rawlings share space with lesser knowns like Jarrod Dickenson or Suzanne Santo (she was one-half of HoneyHoney). And it's all good. So hang on to your horsey and enjoy the ride.

Spring Loaded Camming Devices (or SLCD for short) usually consist of three of four cams mounted on an axle. They are designed so that once placed into a crack in the rock face, any force placed on pulling the SLCD (i.e. a fall) will force the cams to spread open further, essentially holding the climber in place.
SLCD's have a trigger mechanism, which when pulled with a couple of fingers, closes the cams together and aligns them so that it can be placed into the crack easily. SLCD's, like all other climbing protection, are made by a number of manufacturers all of whom give their SLCD's a different name. Some of the most common include Friends, Camalots and Aliens.
A diagram detailing how a loaded cam works.
As shown above, the more pressure placed on the cam, the wider it will attempt to open.

The other week, a friend of mine asked me to come and speak to her women's group about being an author. They wanted me to share my experiences in publishing, then answer any questions they had.
I always get nervous before these things, because I never feel like I know that much about writing. There is always someone around who knows more or has more experience than I do.
In this case, I was the expert in the field.
These ladies fired all sorts of questions at me. Topics ranged from how to craft a story to how to create good characters to what's the best route for publishing to how did you get interested in writing?
As I was answering, I found out a lot about myself. Yes, it seems strange, but there you go.
One woman asked me how I learned to write a story. How did I plot?
Part of me remembered hearing wonderful writers saying very deep and moving things about plot and feelings and how the characters wove into the story to make conflicts and how the emotional payoff at the end had to be good enough to satisfy the reader.
None of this came out of my mouth. What came out of my mouth was this, "You know what, I follow the 15 point beat sheet. Go read the book Save the Cat by Blake Snyder. That's how I plot."
And it's true. I'm sort of helpless without those 15 beats. The 7 point plot system works as well, and I shared that with them, but in a nutshell, I'm a Save the Cat girl. I also mentioned that some people can't outline. They have to write themselves into a corner, back up and go again. Everyone's process is different.
Another question I got was "How do you go about writing a second book?"
Again, all sorts of deep and meaningful things about inner conflict and not letting the middle sag floated through my mind. But what I said was, "Go watch the Empire Strikes Back. Follow the pattern. It is perhaps the best and most successful second act of a trilogy that has ever been filmed. I find something like that and follow the pattern. My story will not turn out the same, but it gives me a direction for my 15 beats."
I said it, thought about it and decided that this is totally true. It's how I roll.
There were around ten women there. One had self-published one novel and was working on her second. The others merely had aspirations. Each one of them thanked me for being so honest and excited and knowledgeable about writing. They plan to start a writing group to see if they like it.
Now, I'm well aware that I have a lot to learn about writing, but it's good to take a step off of the path and look back at how far I've come.
The journey is long, and some parts are steeper than others, but like on any hike, glance over your shoulder and see the distance you've put behind you. You might be both surprised and awed.

Redesign! Welcome to the brown skin. Naturally you'll have to visit the 'site to see it (the majority of my traffic is now by email or RSS) -- but if you still can't, you probably have the skin cookie set. Visit the skinner to select back to the default.
So what's new? It's my first non-table and 100% css design for a start. The sitenav, always awkward, has been moved to the bottom of the page (it's there for people looking rather than to stumble across), and even the banner has been moved: the emphasis is on the posts, and seeing what's latest. There's also a commenting feature, but I'll roll that out once the inevitable design bugs have been squashed. My favourite feature: the whitespace of the indented paragraphs describes a square. I like that.
I'm surprised by how many browsers now support css. Last I looked properly (um, ages ago) it was a reckless design decision. So, this skin should work happily in IE5+ and Mozilla, and degrade kind-of-okay for the rest. Naturally it looks most beautiful in Chimera on Mac OS X using Gill Sans. I say naturally because my sites tend to only ever work in whatever my favourite browser of the week is.
If you find bugs please mail me a screenshot, or let me know if it's difficult to read on your system (font or contrast problems). I'll see what I can do. Also thanks to Phil and Tom for helping me with css weirdnesses. And there we go. Long live blue and brown.
