Why are some people able to run 26.2 miles straight, yet I can barely run a mile? You may be wondering how some people have a passion for such a tiring, tedious sport. If you are one of those people who says that running just isn't for you, you may want to reconsider.
While many sports require coordination and as some may say a "natural talent", running is one of those sports that comes natural to almost everyone. Sports such as soccer, volleyball, and hockey involve learned skills. There are certain motions, techniques, and balancing abilities required to excel in those areas. To run, all you need is a decent pair of shoes and the great outdoors. Now, while running a mile may be challenging for you and maybe even extremely discouraging, you are very capable of doing it. Running requires patience and consistency. This may be the reason why so many people find it relaxing and use it almost as a meditation; unlike many contact sports such as soccer or hockey for example, running long distances does not involve lots of starts, stops, or collisions. This type of exercise is easier on your body if you do it the right. If you are able to keep a comfortable, steady pace, it can actually be quite enjoyable and rewarding.
Should you start off on your first day of training trying to run a mile? Well, this all depends on the person. It is always best to start out doing what you are comfortable with. Maybe run for five minutes, then walk until you reach a mile. Or, maybe just focus on time and start with your first goal being to run/walk a total of ten minutes. Setting small goals is always a good way to prevent yourself from getting discouraged. Over time, you will find that the amount of exercise you started off doing becomes much easier as the days pass by. One great thing about running or jogging is that if you stay consistent and run 5-6 days a week, you are sure to see results.
Once you feel more comfortable with the sport, you can start to increase your goals and add workouts to your weekly routine. Maybe once or twice a week, instead of going out for a nice easy jog, you incorporate some pick-ups into your run. A pick-up is when you increase your pace for a set amount of time (for example, 30 seconds) and then return to your regular pace. These small changes and additions to your running schedule can help you tone muscles that you don't normally use and add a little boost to your overall calorie burn.
Many people start out at the beginner level and quickly become discouraged because they are not able to run what they wanted to right away. When I first started running, my asthma was a big obstacle I faced. Over time, I learned how to manage and control it. It is important to remember that these things take time, patience, and most importantly- consistency! Running IS for you. I have been running for years now and the best results I have seen are when I am consistent. I find myself getting frustrated at times because in the mix of my school and work schedule, many weeks it is hard to find time for running. Maybe I will run four days one week, six the next, and then hit a busy week when I am only able to run two or three days. The following week I find myself sore, tired, and not as in-shape as I would like to be. It can get pretty frustrating at times. I always try and remind myself that even if I take just twenty minutes of my day and go out for a jog, that consistency will save me from getting out of shape and becoming discouraged. Plan ahead! Setting aside a specific time each day that you are able to go out for a run helps ensure that you will make time for it in your busy day.
Now, runner's high. Is it a myth? Many people might say that this is a myth or an exaggeration, but I believe in runner's high. I have experienced it myself. The feeling of completing a really challenging run is one of the most exhilarating feelings I have ever experienced. It is the feeling of being covered in dirt, super queasy and nauseous, feeling the sweat trickling out of your pores, panting from exhaustion, but also an amazing tingling in your stomach, an adrenaline rush. Walking off of a hard course or walking away from a challenging workout and knowing you completed it and gave your one-hundred percent is such a fulfilling, accomplished feeling. Unlike other team sports, when you cross that finish line you only have yourself to thank; all of your hard work shows in your individual performance. If you do decide to take up running, I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get to experience that runner's high because it truly is like nothing else.

I haven't straightened my hair since January but couple with the utter boredom I've been feeling towards my hair lately and Paul Mitchell Mirrorsmooth line I received last week, the stars aligned and told me it was time to pick up a flat iron.
I started off with a days old, work out weary twist out. I promise I wasn't walking around with my hair this dreary lol, my work out early that day completely wrecked my hair.
[1] I deep conditioned on dry hair with HairVeda Sitrinillah Deep Conditioner. HairVeda SDC is a long time love but I don't think I've ever used it on dry hair before so I was a little hesitant but thankfully it worked out. The conditioner sunk into my hair, provided slip to help me finger detangle my hair, and per usual, left my hair soft and moisturized.
[2] Shampooed with Paul Mitchell Mirrorsmooth Shampoo. This shampoo creates tons of suds (I'm a sucker for suds), does not strip my hair, and left my hair feeling smooth.
After using an cotton t-shirt to soak up all excess water from my hair, I put my hair in twists to stretch it out and let it dry for about two hours.
[4] Next I applied my leave-ins: It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In and Paul Mitchell Mirrorsmooth High Gloss Primer, then blow dried my hair using the tension method + cold hair. For more on the tension method, check out this post: The Tension Method When Blow Drying: How To & Benefits
Once I'd finished drying my hair, I flat ironed it using Paul Mitchell Express Ion Smooth+ flat iron by working in small sections and only doing one pass. When I got to my ends, I used a comb for the comb-chase method.
This was my first time straightening my fully naturally hair so I was a little worried about what temp to use. Per the booklet that came with the iron, the recommendation for "fine hair" maxes at 360 degrees; I played it safe and went 10 above.
As you can tell from the photos below, the results were sleek but not pin-straight, which I loved. I definitely like the Paul Mitchell Mirrorsmooth line. At each step it made detangling a breeze and I could feel the difference (smoothness) in my hair. I'll use it 2 or 3 more times (along with the the flat iron) before doing a full product review. Both the It's A 10 Miracle Leave-In and the Paul Mitchell Mirrorsmooth High Gloss Primer provide thermal protection so I didn't need an additional heat protectant.
And finally, length check. Shrinkage is a liar. I didn't know I had grown this much hair in 2 years. On this shirt, waist length hits me about an inch after the 20 line so I'm roughly half way back to my pre-transition 2013 length. I also trimmed half an inch to remove annoying single-strand knots.
|My length check shirt is from the JGA store

Herman's Hermits
Three things you won't find at a Herman's Hermits concert, circa 2005: (1) incisive critiques of global conflict, (2) more than a few audience members who need to be carded, and (3) rap.
Then again, that last one might not be out of the question, given that Friday at the Birchmere, the uncannily well-preserved Peter "Herman" Noone offered impersonations of Johnny Cash, Davy Jones, Tom Jones, Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson, among others. (Surprisingly, he was most impressive as the Man in Black.) And his curiously anonymous band mates, none of whom were part of the '60s British Invasion pop combo, were only too happy to play Hermits, with efficient renditions of "Dandy," "No Milk Today," "I'm Into Something Good," and other Hermit and non-Hermit hits.
Noone's voice was a little too robust for the more ethereal numbers, and his attempt at "Battle of New Orleans" featured some ill-advised hoedowning, but the 57-year-old Noone's pelvic thrusts on "It's Not Unusual" might have startled Elvis. And his comedy was arguably more entertaining than his music -- on his first sight of the Birchmere's neighborhood: "Let's get the check now, lads -- because we can cash it right across the street!" Best of all was when he combined them: Brandishing an old LP with his profile on it, he declared, "Look at the size of that Peter!" and then, holding the near-life-size portrait above his shoulders, trotted through "Leaning on a Lamp Post."
Add in the British elocution lessons he offered the crowd before the concluding medley of hits ("It sounds like about 3,000 Camillas"), and the transformation of the Birchmere into a British pub on singalong night was well-nigh complete.
-- Pamela Murray Winters
'La Cenerentola'
Except for the lack of scenery, the performance of Rossini's "La Cenerentola" was exemplary Saturday night at Wolf Trap. Scenery is nice but not important in this opera, which is about human relations, not architecture or decor. The concert performance, ably directed by Garnett Bruce, had makeup and costumes and lots of spectacular acting and singing.
"Cenerentola" is a rational version of the Cinderella story; no fairy godmother, no pumpkin coach or glass slippers -- just the story of a sweet, intelligent girl in a hilariously dysfunctional family who makes all the right decisions (unlike her silly stepsisters) when confronted with a choice between glamour and solid worth. The music, well controlled by conductor Dean Williamson, ranks with Rossini's finest.
The best of many good performances in this "Cenerentola" was that of Kate Lindsey, a spectacularly talented mezzo-soprano, in the title role. From the early "Una volta c'era un re" to the final "Non piu mesta," Rossini made constant demands in this role, and she fulfilled them splendidly with a charming stage presence and a voice that was precise, agile and expressive throughout its wide range.

Hi - I'm using a D3100 and have noticed that a shot through the viewfinder (phase-detect) is always 1-2 stops faster (aperture or shutter-speed) than the self-same shot using Live-view (screen, contrast detect)! I've experimented with priorities, settings, compensation, focus modes and so on, and it remains the case. I think it may be the the different ways of gathering info by the two systems. I've not found a 'scholarly' article, though.
Any ideas? Thanks!

The New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times all lead, and the Wall Street Journaltops its worldwide newsbox, on Republican-sponsored legislation that would require the White House to begin shifting U.S. troops in Iraq away from the front lines as early as next January. Proposed by Sens. John Warner and Richard Lugar, two of the GOP's most respected voices on national security, the plans call for troops to be redeployed into border security and counter-terrorism roles, and endorse Hillary Clinton's calls for a new vote to authorize the war, but stop short of backing Democratic calls for a firm timetable for troop withdrawal.
Democrats dismissed the proposals as too timid, and it appears unlikely the senators' plan will gain a broad following; the LAT calls it " largely symbolic." But the papers agree that it constitutes a major challenge for Bush, underscoring his dwindling support on the Hill while staking out a coherent position from which Republicans can mount a challenge to his administration's handling of the war. With Congress still trying to hammer out a consensus and cement a veto-proof supermajority, the NYT argues that the Warner-Lugar proposal is likely to frame much of the debate in coming weeks; it also raises the stakes for the next Iraq progress report, due in September. Adding fuel to the widening Republican revolt, the Post reports that spiraling casualty numbers are prompting a growing opposition to the war in small Midwestern communities, once among the staunchest supporters of the conflict.
Meanwhile, the Post and the NYTboth give big play to yesterday's clashes between U.S. troops and Iraqi police in eastern Baghdad. Thirteen Iraqis were killed as U.S. forces raided a police station, capturing a police lieutenant accused of directing a Shiite militia group. The fighting highlights problems in recruiting and training army and police units; the NYT reports that American commanders are concerned that training programs have stalled in recent months and could hinder attempts to reduce U.S. troop levels. The Post runs a troubling interview with the leader of a group of Sunni militants, who describes Iraq's situation as all-out civil war and claims that the U.S. surge strategy merely inflames the situation on the ground. The NYT fronts a moving profile of one of its Iraqi staff, who was killed by gunmen yesterday.
The NYT off-leads, the Post leads its business section, and the WSJ goes inside with news of the fraud conviction of Canadian-born media baron Conrad Black. The former commander of a media empire that included the Daily Telegraph, the Jerusalem Post, and the Chicago Sun-Times, Black faces up to 35 years in jail after being found guilty on mail fraud charges in a Chicago courtroom.
The Post goes above the fold with a superb dissection of the collapse of John McCain's presidential campaign, tracing the fault lines that left the one-time front-runner's campaign virtually broke and riven by petty rivalries. It's grim reading for fans of the Straight Talk Express; still, the WSJ notes that McCain's hero, Ronald Reagan, went through even rougher patches on his way to the White House. Meanwhile, the NYT teases McCain's lackluster attempts to kick-start a comeback in New Hampshire.
Hillary Clinton is also on the stump in New Hampshire this weekend, but she'll have to make do without the support of controversial Indian entrepreneur Vin Gupta. The NYT fronts news that the longtime Clinton backer, who came under scrutiny over payments his company made to the Clintons, has had enough of playing politics. "With all this publicity, to be frank with you, it just isn't worth it," he says.
Florida looks set to be a key state in the 2008 Republican primaries, with the potential to boost candidates who underperform in Iowa or New Hampshire; the Post notes that both Rudolph Giuliani and Mitt Romney are dropping big bucks in the Sunshine State.
The NYT flags a Harvard study showing that salaried public defenders consistently get better outcomes for their clients than court-appointed lawyers who bill by the hour. Appointed lawyers cost the taxpayer some $61 mllion a year more than salaried defenders would have cost, and on average their clients receive jail sentences that are eight months longer.
The Post reports on Chinese efforts to restore consumers' faith in the safety of its exports. After executing a corrupt regulator this week, Beijing hired lobbyists and PR firms to push the message that Chinese goods are safe, noting that China rejects U.S. imports on safety grounds almost as often as the U.S. rejects Chinese goods. In an editorial, the Post argues that a free press and the rule of law would do more to restore consumers' confidence than rushed executions; the WSJ surveys some of China's recent boo-boos, arguing that market forces should be enough to ensure that China's "crooked capitalists" mend their ways.
The NYT fronts a look at the underuse of highly effective lymphoma drugs, noting that the cost and complexity of coordinating treatments means patients don't always receive the best possible care.
Blast from the past: Among the trove of Nixon-era documents released last month by the National Archives, the NYT digs up a gem: a letter from a youthful Karl Rove to Nixon's chief counsel, in which the budding architect suggested drumming up GOP support on campuses by sponsoring screenings of Reefer Madness. Well, we all had to start somewhere …

Idle rpm?
GearGambler replied to Jbarker's topic in General TechI highly doubt its the TPS. You said the car has a tuning device in it. Do you know who set up the calibration? is this a new behavior, or something it's always done? Idle and DASHPOT can be adjusted in the calibration, but if you have a vacume leak or some other mechanical problem, that has to be fixed before the calibration is revisited.
Very cool! rock on man!

Dreaded E Brake rattle / vibration
GearGambler posted a topic in General TechOk everyone - I have the dreaded E Brake rattle / vibration. I've seen in the past that some people have been able to get rid of it. I'm open to ALL SUGGESTIONS!
This is good to know! I was thinking that the drivers side mount would be easier to house the front mount IC. Maybe I should just ditch the V3 for the ProCharger setup. I need to get on the phone with the SC companies and get their tech guys thoughts rather than re-engineer my own kit (which I'm totally OK with).
I don't see the AC system in that picture My car WILL have AC. it's a must. I'm in the process of getting the supporting mods done first. Next step is the TKO500 - Stifflers cross member should be en route soon! Then its the fuel pump / lines. Then hopefully this winter I can start fabricating everything for the intercooler.
Mustang Week 2017 Sept. 4-10
GearGambler replied to RedTwilight's topic in SN95Source Offical EventsThe negative outpouring was certainly to be expected. The MW staff has done GREAT for the past 15 years, this July 2016 is no exception. I had a great time this year, and even learned more about my car and how it deals with the heat. I kind of expect the heat during mustang week. Its summer / July in South Carolina! This was already mentioned, but the mall construction took away that venue. The Convention center certainly has the space. Vendors inside, car show outside, and way more room. I just hope for everyone sake that they do a bit better job at getting people into the place. It took us almost an hour sitting in the heat to get in there for the Meet and Greet. The time frame is just awful, but again, their hands were tied. The city brings up the burnouts and horseplay every time a suggestion is made and the actions of a few have finally taken their toll. This year was FAR less dumbness than previous years, but still, history can't be rewritten. Aside from families that have school starting, there's also family traditions on Labor day. Families keep those close to home, and either have local events or attend local events. It's a nice break for the kids / teachers / students after the stress of starting a new school year. It is a pretty big conflict for my wife and I. We are part of the crew that supports multiple racers at the Yellow Bullet Nationals, which is held Labor Day weekend every year. Rain date is the folowing weekend. Last year one of those racers was in the winners circle for Super Street and this year there is a strong chance at a repeat. There's also a strong chance at winning 10.0 index for one of our racers. I'm PSYCHED about this weekend! I really cant imagine the logistics and financial hit it would cause for us to do YBN and then head right down to Myrtle Beach in 2017. It's just crazy. I hope for 2018 the MW staff are able to make it on a weekend other than labor day, for everyone's sake! I also hope they entertain having it in an entire different state all together. Maybe one that could use the HUGE influx of $$$ the event generates. I'm biased, but what about Maryland? There beaches, dragstrips and a raceway within a reasonable distance. Or Virginia, which has the same? You could even go north and have something in the poconos - Island dragway isnt far, you have the Pocono Raceway. and it would be right in my back yard ok, Rant off. Sorry for the novel, but I type fast.

Hi there!
When I think of summer lovin' it reminds me of my first (and only) boyfriend who is now my husband. We met in high school and married five years later. After graduating high school, I spent the summer with my aunt and we carried on a long distance romance through love letters. Yes, this was before email. And it's probably the only time we ever wrote love letters to each other. With today's technology, it's easier and faster to just text someone and include an emoji. Not very personable, but I digress.
The base color on this mani is NYC Downtown. The hearts are stamped with Milani Hot Orchid and the couple and the arrow heart is stamped with Konad White. Plates used are Cheeky CH3 and CH29.

The menu is excellent, great value and is about as diverse as it's customers. From great steaks and grills to seafood, vegetarian dishes and prawns; you will find something to tantalize your taste buds. If you're going to try something different, be sure to check out the famous Meat Rodizio. This is a carvery that is literally served at your table, the only limit being how much you can fit in! Robots on your table tell the waiter whether to bring it on or hold off, while you find some space for more.
It bustles during the day, but evenings are when Rodizio really comes alive. A favourite with big parties, this is an establishment that teams with life at night. At Rodizio anything goes as long as you're enjoying a great meal and looking for fun!

Knotted Cords
Over two-thirds of the world's population use prayer beads while reciting and counting specific prayers or incantations.
I started learning to tie knots in twine as an affordable alternative to purchasing semi-precious gemstones and other prayer beads. I now offer workshops in knotted cord rosary-making upon request. (Click on the "Offerings" tab to learn more.)
Here are some photos of knotted cords.

The Small Safe Steps program involves 4 levels. Each level contains 10 steps to create a safe environment for Children and Staff at our centre.
Small Safe Steps gives the service and families a better understanding of a quality service, helping families to make informed decisions about the service providing quality education and care to thier child. The NQS brings together the 7 key quality areas that are important to outcomes for children.
The aim of Quality Area 2 under the NQS is to safeguard and promote children's health and safety, to minimise risks and protect children from harm, injury and infection.
All children have the right to experience quality education and care in an environment that provides for thier physical adn psycological wellbeing and provides support for each child's growing competence, confidence and independence.
In particular Standard 2.3 requires that each child is protected and provides the following elements:
Element 2.3.1 - Children are to be adequately supervised at all times

ARANSAS PASS, Texas – Travel-trailers and recreational vehicles could be options for state officials seeking to house scores of residents displaced by Hurricane Harvey, federal administrators said Tuesday.
Nothing has been approved, and what is approved would ultimately be in the state's hands, officials have said – the idea being to ensure decisions are tailored to communities.
Dozens of people were killed and millions of dollars in property destroyed by Hurricane Harvey, first by hitting the Coastal Bend as a Category 4 hurricane, and later by lingering over Houston and the surrounding areas causing record flooding, according to a story by The Corpus Christi Caller Times.

Thank you Dan!
Dan focuses on helping existing companies maximize their profits while reducing their costs and overhead. He will not only show you how to get your business off the ground, but will provide you with the secrets for immediate success.
Although Dan Vega is recognized as one of the top motivational speakers today, he, himself does not claim to be a self-help coach or the next great motivational guru. He recognizes the need for self-improvement and positive thinking; however, believes that motivation alone will not achieve financial success. Mr. Vega's experience has led him to approach success from a different perspective. His belief is that any business problem and most life problems can be solved through proper math and hard variables:
"When a company tells you that they need to make several million dollars by a certain deadline, positive energy and an optimistic attitude wont get you there. You need to find the right math sequence that will accommodate the proper volume that they are trying to capture, and create a logical and mathematically sound plan of action. Two plus two will always be four...no matter how badly they want it to be five. Until you can uncover your proper hard variables, you can never really know the true financial potential of your business or personal life."
Dans exciting speaking style and brass tacks approach have found their way to success in countless seminars and events across the world. He now devotes his time to philanthropy, helping people grow in their personal and business life by sharing the keys and trade secrets that have helped thousands of people enjoy a healthier and happier life while generating millions.
Dan is continually creating bold new ideas and breaking down the widely accepted business paradigms of old. He believes that once a person receives the proper education and refuses to accept the boundaries set forth by others, they can accomplish many things and move at great speed. When recently asked about the key to his continued success as an entrepreneur he replied:
"The difference between being able to project accurately and having the ability to predict is the presence of enough hard variables and belief system.""
Dan Vega's unique mathematical and straight forward approach has given him the ability to transform the lives of thousands of people making him 'America's #1 Results Guy'.

Savor the Moment by Nora Roberts
Savor the Moment by Nora Roberts
(Bride Quartet #3)
Narrator: Angela Dawe
Audio Book 8cds 8hr 54min
Publishing Date: 2010
Genre: Romance
Date: 02/28/2011
From back of book:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts cordially invites you to meet childhood friends Parker, Emma, Laurel, and Mac – the founders of Vows, one of Connecticut's premier wedding planning companies.
Laurel McBane has always relied on her friends for support, especially when her dream of attending culinary school was almost ruined by her parents' financial problems. Now Laurel is repaying the kindness of her friends by creating extravagantly luscious tiers of cakes and other confectionary delights that add the perfect touch to their clients'' weddings.
As for romance, Laurel believes in it – in theory. But she's too low-key to appreciate all the luxuries that other women seem too long for. What she does appreciate is a strong, intelligent man, a man just like Parker's older brother, Delaney Brown, on whom Laurel has had a mega crush since childhood.
But some infatuations last longer than others, and Laurel is convinced that the Ivy League lawyer is still out of her reach. Plus, Del is too protective of Laurel to ever cross the line with her, or so she thinks. When Laurel's quick-silver-mood get the better of her-leading to an angry, hot, altogether mind-blowing kiss with Del – she'll have to quiet the doubts in her mind to turn a moment of passion into forever…
My Review:
This is a good read. It focuses mostly on Laurel. Her friendship with the other three is a part of the plot as well.
Laurel parents ended up in financial trouble and she no longer had money to go to culinary school. However, one of her friend's parents sent her with the only catch being that she make something of herself. This is mainly a romance novel. Since childhood she had a crush on Delany Brown. Delany has always called all the friends his girls. Laurel finally has had enough and if a fit of anger and frustration she kisses Del. That kiss has changed everything and now the two must decide how to proceed.
Along the way Laurel is troubled by the fact that she doesn't come from then type of money that Del and Parker does. She doesn't want him to think that she is with him because of his money. This thought is egged on by the whisper people in Del's circle and well as Mac's cold-hearted trouble-making mother. So not only does she have to content with her changing relationship with Del but also with her occasional sense of class inferiority.
The narrator had a pleasant voice. The characters did not sound the same so it was easy to see them as different people and not just someone reading to you. The story was paced fast. Angela Dawe did a great job; I hope she read the other books in the series.

Il fait frette, and all I want to gulp is a bowl of soup or coffee.
Born and raised in Quebec, I can attest I've experienced my fair share of slushy driving conditions and gliding-through-rush-hour-traffic tales.... I've got plenty of winter car stories! I won't forget January 2015, I was on my way home back from work on schedule to get the kiddies from school, and out of nowhere my car went clunk... clunk.. clunk. "No-o-o-o!" That 'clunk' turned into a flat tire that left me stranded downtown in front of Square-Victoria in the World Trade Center's taxi-only zone during rush-hour. Two hours later, road-side assistance came to my rescue; luckily, Starbucks being everywhere, I spent my time savoring an evening cup of coffee, making back-up plans for my kids, and roaming on my phone - ouch that Fido bill! I slept like a real mama that night only to wake-up to my usual morning routine until I hit a pot-hole, "BAM!" And there I was, stranded on Saint-Jacques Street with yet again, a second flat tire in less than a day. Luckily, I walked over to Tim Hortons for my morning cup of coffee waiting for my road-side assistance (that made it to me within the hour). Sometimes, I just want to get re-married so someone can manage my flat-tire and prep my car for winter driving (lol, just kidding).
Winter driving aside, there is nothing more refreshing than a winter walk, especially during a pleasant snowfall, gazing at an untouched and twinkling snowy landscape. On a beautiful evening in December last year, my daughters and I opted for an evening walk under the stars at Centennial park. It wasn't too cold, we had just finished dinner and we were looking forward to get some fresh air 'of some kind'. That night, the only sound that resonated was our laughter echoing in the park while making snow angels, and trailing a trio of boot tracks. We climbed-up to the mini mountain where we began body sledding over and over and over again, à la queue leu leu and solo, "one more time Mommy!" The girls begged "Ok girls, one more time..." X 10, it was fun. That's what I love about being a mom, these kids spark fun and warmth.
After the winter outdoors, all one craves is a nice warm bowl of soup. I've been exploring all kinds of soup recipes in the past weeks, and opted for a Tunisian chickpea soup. Whether you are a Sephardi from Tunisia or Morocco, no matter how cold it gets, our traditional foods come in handy 365 days a year. Enjoy this classic!

Do you want to learn how to become successful in network marketing and build a huge downline?
Success is a challenge but is definitely not impossible. It all depends on how bad you want to achieve success and how big is your reason why you want to be successful. If you have the desire to be successful then you need to know exactly what to do in order to make it happen. Following these simple steps will definitely set you on the right path of building a huge downline.
#1. Finding An Effective Way To Promote
The first thing that you have to focus on is finding an effective way to promote your business in order to see results. There are going to be many different ways that you can use to promote your business but it is essential to take your time so you know that what you're doing is effective. The only way that you're going to know is to test out the methods and see what kind of results you get from them. You should definitely focus on the methods that do not cost you a lot of money so you don't have to spend a lot of money before you begin making money. Personally I love home-meetings. Very inexpensive and so effective are home-meetings. Another suggestion I have is to make your home-meetings fun and only do one or two per week personally.
#2. Be Consistent and Continue To Build The Pipeline
Now that you have found an effective way to promote your business all you have to do is to be consistent and continue to build the pipeline of getting people to sign up into your business. Of course the more people you get signed up the more income you're going to make. Making a schedule to follow-up on a daily basis using whatever methods you decide to use is going to be beneficial for your long-term success. If you do not follow-up then you will mess up !
#3. Train Your Downline To Do The Same ( Duplication ! )
Now you will be getting people in your business and these people will become your downline. Your responsibility is to teach them exactly how they can start building their pipeline and achieve the same success you have been achieving. The great thing about this is that the more they produce the more you will be rewarded since they are part of your organization. Note: These people will know very successful networkers from other companies. Do not be afraid to ask them to invite their friends to take a look at your company and the pay plan. Very successful networkers always share their business with other successful networkers.
These are very simple steps that you can follow once you go over them and understand each one. I suggest you go over this simple outline with a teammate. Cuss and discuss each step until you can see the whole picture. email@example.com

Reebok Jet 200 Series + Bluetooth Treadmill
Treadmill was good price and delivered quickly. Takes about 30 minutes to put together and there is a really good online video to assist with the included paper instructions. The Treadmill is excellent and provided a nice cushion under foot if like me you find running on the road is harsh on your knees and soles of your feet. Display and built in programs are excellent and there is a handy shelf for a phone or tablet. Highly recommend.

On Thursday night I attended the launch of Tribe Coffee's new speciality cafe and roastery. An exciting evening that saw Jake Easton and Kate Nero's dream find its magical reality, as they shared their new space at The Woodstock Foundry with friends, old and new.
Their Cafe showcases the incredible MBA Architect Design furniture.
Good coffee is the focus and Jake and partner Bradley Juter have a roastery out back where with the help of big ol' Bertha, they will find their passion driven coffee perfection.
Products are on sale, and perfect coffee is now well within our reach.
Hanging plants and succulents in coffee mugs make for happy.
Food was served by Munch Box, flavours were delicious and fresh and their presentation and style is spot on. I can see why this is who Jake and Kate are partnering with. Veggie couscous and below chicken wraps. I could lunch like this every day.
Tribe's collaborators are Benedikt Bookstore, with whom they share the area. They were supported on the night by flowing bubbly, Lindt chocolate, Sir Juice and hot Chilli Cocktails from Primitiv Vodka. (Pic by Ryan Weideman) Also a live mural was being painted as we watched, special touch that.
Jake, Kate and Bradley gave a speech with their underlining message that of the benefits of good relationships, of building a community, and this they have done for sure. This Tribe deserves all the love and support that we can send their way. They do things well, from the heart – and live with passion. You can taste it in the coffee and feel it in the warm atmosphere.
This pic is off the Tribe Coffee website introducing the beautiful people that make up this wonderful team.
For a great cup of coffee and a perfectly social spot to linger, this is the place. Open Monday to Friday 7am – 4pm and Saturday 9am – 1pm.
Personal note – I first met Jake about 10 years ago and have watched how he has followed his heart towards this place. I love the man. You will love the man. And the team that he has surrounded himself with. I am so exited and wish him fulfilled happiness as he continues to inspire and live with passion. Proud to call him friend.

Just to reiterate, there is no substitutes for the French capital – and Tromsø isn't trying to be Paris 2.0 (despite it's reputation as "the Paris of the North"). Officially the world's northernmost city, it has its own way of seducing tourists, thanks in part to the Northern Lights, which offer dazzling displays overhead. The city also steals hearts through its excellent gastronomy, pulsating nightlife and packed cultural calendar. Dark days in winter and light nights in summer add to the romance.

I have since the last post managed to put together the tri-copter, fly it indoors, crash it outdoors, re-flashed it with the wrong firmware and put it up on the wall.
The assembly of the booms with ESCs and motors took some time. I re-built the tail after realizing the the capacitor on the ESC might touch one of the tail mounting bolts which could result in a short circuit. It took it apart and insulated it. The slots for passing the motor leads out of the boom were not hard to cut, but hard to get a good look. Mine does not...
I should have used shorter servo lead extensions, maybe 15cm (maybe even 10cm) instead of the 45cm I use, they take up a lot of space and cause a lot of ugliness. On the last two booms I applied a bead of hot glue to the connectors to avoid them from slipping if you accidentally tug on them during assembly.
The X900 has no form of power distribution built-in. I soldered the three pairs of ESC power cables together with the BEC supply cable to a 12AWG (very oversized) battery cables. An E-FuelGauge is also attached to the battery cable. I use EC3 connectors to the battery.
The long servo leads cause a big ugly bundle of cables attached to the body. But this is nothing to the bundle caused by the S-BUS decoder. I use a Corona decoder, which has long leads both for the inputs and outputs.
My KK 2.1 board does not feed +5V to the servo connectors, which I find a bit strange but for a quad+ multi-rotor it isn't needed. The tri-copter however has a servo connected to the servo output, and gets no power! I made a split on the power lead from the BEC and needed to use a Y-harness to plug power in through one of the input-connectors together with the channel. Truly a big mess!
After having spent some time fixing the power supply pitfalls I finally tested it indoors with FPV gear mounted and the googles on my wife. Worked fine!
The other day I flew it outdoors. It flew fine until one of the props came off. No greater damage seems to have occured. However, I got really tired of the ugly bundle of cables because of the S-BUS decoder and I misread an announcement from RC911 concerning a new release of the KK2.1++ firmware. I thougt it was for the S-BUS version. It wasn't. The device is already re-flashed and cables removed. I think I will wait a while and hope RC911 comes up with a S-BUS firmware for the KK2.1.
Until them, I've made a simple wall mount to get it away from the workshop to move on with other projects. Waiting in line is a reconfiguration of a 250 with 3GX, repairs of an EDF and installation of an E-fuelguage and CGY750 in a 550.

Custom features¶
New in version 0.5.0.
Architect supports custom features which can be used to add completely new functionality to a model or to redefine some built-in feature's behaviour. A completely new feature can be created and installed as the following:
from architect.orms.bases import BaseFeature
class CustomFeature(BaseFeature):
orm = 'django'
name = 'my_feature'
decorate = ('bar',)
def foo(self):
"""Does something with a model"""
def _decorate_bar(method):
"""Decorates model's bar method"""
def wrapper(instance, *args, **kwargs):
# Do something before method invocation
method(instance, *args, **kwargs)
# Do something after method invocation
return wrapper
class Model(object):
To be considered a feature class, a class should inherit from a
BaseFeature or any other
class that itself inherits from a
BaseFeature and implement
orm and
name attributes.
orm attribute is used to identify to which ORM this feature belongs to and
name attribute
is used by Architect to identify this feature in an internal feature registry. If a feature class
should be considered a base for other feature classes simply don't set an
orm attribute and
it will defaults to
None which tells Architect that this is a base feature class.
BaseFeature class provides the following methods and attributes:
orm= None¶
which orm this feature belongs to
name= None¶
name that will be used to access this feature
decorate= ()¶
model methods that should be decorated by feature decorators
dependencies= ()¶
features that this feature depends on
__init__(model_obj, model_cls, **options)¶
- model_obj (object) – (required). Model instance object to work with.
- model_cls (class) – (required). Model class to work with.
- options (dictionary) – (optional). Feature options if any.

A good magazine cover can tell a story;
but it takes tons of, millions of works from
the sitting editors,
the photographers,
the models,
and even the celebrities
in order the capture the right moment.
This section is not only a place to critique the editorials,
but also a place to cherish the brilliant works done by those admirable people.
(And hopefully, I can become one of them)
Vogue Aug 2014 - Blake Lively
Adjacent to the breath-taking Rocky Mountain, Blake Lively euphorically lands on the cover of American Vogue again. This time, she has a lot more to offer than her sensational portrayal of the charismatic Serena in Gossip Girl (Last cover Feb, 2009). With her new marriage, new project (the blog - "preserve"), and even newer movie roles in the future, Lively has plenty to share with the readers.
Okay, let's go back to the shoot. The storyline of this shoot is obviously the nomadic lifestyle of cowboys and indians. The photos are very Mario Testino, proofed by the vivid colors, strong narrative, and quite spontaneous.
From the fashion point of view, the best of the fall/winter collection are reinterpreted, and reassembled by sitting editor Tonne Goodman. As one of the very few American fashion editors at Vogue, Tonne Goodman's trademark is her taste on the traditional US culture. Thus, this photoshoot is a very identical Tonne Goodman's work.
To further dissect the fashion of this shoot, I discovered some inevitable trends that will happen in this winter.
1. Raw Textures
This fall and winter, more organic and natural textiles has remerged; for instance, leather, suede, mohair, and shearling.
2. Fringed Details
Michael Kors fringed Suede coat, Marni fringed skirt...This winter, you will never go wrong with a touch of fringe details.
3. Belt it up!
If you give this shoot a closer look, you will easily find the common denominator -- Belt. It appeared nonstop on every single frame! It has to means something. (Vogue is never wrong)
Therefore, no matter what you have, a dress, a coat, or a skirt; just add a belt to cinch the look.

My tutor very kindly sent the link for this article that she had seen in The Guardian and which was questioning why the genius of Artemisia Gentileschi had been overlooked for so long?
The subject of the article was Artemisia's 1612 painting of Judith and Holofernes and also her 1620 version too which was painted in Florence. Artemesia had moved to Florence with her husband to escape the scandal of the rape trial and it is thought by many that the original painting was in effect a self-portrait due to it being painted either during or just after the trial.
The article states that the two paintings are almost identical except for the colour of Judith's gown which in the Florence version it is yellow but in the original it is blue but when you look more closely there are other differences such as the lighting, the weight of the figures on the bed, the sword is different, the spurt of the blood and the blood on the bed as well as subtle differences in the poses of the women – oh and also in the later work Judith is wearing a jewelled bracelet … these are just the obvious differences and these paintings will be the subject of my essay as they are fascinating to compare.
The article speaks of the fact that Artemisia is now recognised to be the greatest female artist of the baroque period and also one of Caravaggio's greatest followers – his own painting of Judith and Holofernes had a great influence on her own. The author of the article points to the fact that not only did Artemisia achieve great success but she also achieved the fact that she 'communicated a powerful vision' (Jones, 2016) and also mentions the autobiographical nature of her works – she literally painted her life.
The majority of the article speaks of her life and the trial and also mentions how she escaped as far as she could from Rome to escape and by the 1620's had become a successful artist in how own right – bearing in mind she was married and no longer under the influence or orders of her father. Artemisia 'wrote' with her paintbrush what she wanted to portray to the world as she was illiterate and could barely read.
A 1622 painting Susannah and the Elders is going to be part of an exhibition at the National Gallery in London, Beyond Caravaggio, that I had hoped to visit and would have really loved to but unfortunately finances and the distance to get to it from Derby means it is looking likely that I will not be able to.
Jones, J. 5 October 2016. More savage than Caravaggio: the woamn who took revenge in oil [online]. [Date Accessed: November 2016]. Available from: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2016/oct/05/artemisia-gentileshi-painter-beyond-caravaggio

I woke up again this Sunday morning a little unaware of what time it was and with a slight hangover.
The plans for last night was to have a nice chilled film night, enjoying my own company since The Boy was out for the evening. So what did I decide to do? Have a Gin and Tonic, call my Dad and end up in the local pub. Four hours later I crawled in to bed.
Since I got struck with a vomiting virus last weekend the plan was to have a detox until Christmas. The detox for me must have lasted about 2 nights at least and then I was back to my usual habits of having at least a glass of wine in the bath/in front of the TV during the evenings. I even had a little bit of Irish Cream in my coffee yesterday afternoon, just for the sake of it.
A little won't hurt, but what happens when you add all the little bits up? This has got me wondering if I have a slight problem in the drinking department. I just can't seem to resist, if someone offers I can't seem to say no, if there's wine in the fridge I will make sure it's attended to, if there isn't any I will have a trip down to the hop to stock up ( even if it is a Wednesday evening). I know I shouldn't be drinking on the medication I'm on, but I still do it. Clearly that can't do any good when my main goal for the rest of this year is to finally stabilise my mood and eradicate my anxiety issues after a very rocky and unpredictable year.
The topic in question has also got me thinking if there's a slight probability of a genetic predisposition to a favourable attitude towards alcohol in our family. My Dad, who I love dearly, has an undeniable drinking problem (I'm still very ignorant to the term 'alcoholic', even though it's becoming increasingly evident that this may just be the case). For him, after a few in the local after work it's back home to tuck in to the nightly bottle of red or two. It's been the same way for ten years, and his reason behind it is due to his insomnia (however, this is more what's causing his sleeping difficulties). No matter how much he overindulges, he still manages to keep a relatively clean bill of health though for him I believe he is fully aware that this is only a matter of time.
So why do I drink? the only reasons I can think of is down to habit, and stress. A glass of wine in the evening has been, and has been for a while, my number one way of winding down in the evening after a long day being a mother. I think it's about time I dropped the 'no harm done' attitude and changed these unhealthy habits, however hard that may be. Skip the nightly tipple and save the drinking for nights out.
Let's see how this one goes over Christmas, I think I might just need a little motivation in the healthier direction.
