Charlotte Narrative and Conversation Collection
Collection Description:
Michael McCachren interviewed Charlotte, NC residents to collect various stories for a class project at UNC Charlotte.
LM (Linda McCachren): Hi my name's
Linda. Uh, I was raised in Charlotte, North Carolina and I lived, I live in Harrisburg now but they say there's not a lot of Charlotteans left but I don't know. All my aunts and uncles are still around. My mama was, came from a family of, with seven brothers and sisters. There was two girls and the rest boys. And my granddaddy and grandmother lived out near Beatties Ford Road in Huntersville and they [phone rings] had a farm [phone rings] but they raised vegetables and they had the big family so they had to work hard and the kids had to pick cotton growing up and uh, kids today don't know what that's like. But they picked cotton to make money and raised vegetables and my granddaddy used to make molasses. He had what was called a molasses mill. It was like a concrete structure on the bottom and then it had a big copper or brass pad or something like that and he would cut the molasses cane and he would put them in the pad somehow and boil the sugar out of them. And he would just like it cook 'til it turned into molasses. And uh, Grandmother churned her own butter and everything. And as a little girl I would go out there and spend summers and it was so much fun being out there in the country. And she would make butter with this butter press and it was real pretty looking. And my granddaddy would take the vegetables and the butter over to the Catawba River near the steam plant to a neighborhood over there and sell the produce and stuff. And I remember going over there with him for that. And we had a horse and we had what was called a corn crib and they would put the corn in the corn crib when the crops came in then it would harden. You'd feed that to your animals and things and um, of course we had our own chickens and I remember helping slop the hogs [laughs]. That's sounds kind of funny I reckon but that's the, you know they used to raise a lot of pig and stuff, they didn't have a way to keep the meat. You had a root cellar which was down under the house and, uh, kept their vegetables and things like that cold and in the wintertime and kept it from spoiling. And that's the way they kept that. And I remember an old ice chest that was one of the first refrigerators where they would bring a, get a block of ice and put in there. So our grandparents have really seen a lot of things happen, a lot of modernization and everything but, I remember that that was so much fun going out there. And they had a, just had a nice, you know my grandmother and granddad was real funny. He demanded respect and, uh, he had a certain chair he sat in and when he'd come in he would make you know, you got up from that chair 'cause your granddaddy was coming. You didn't mess with him. I remember in the wintertime it was so cold that, uh, they used to use hot water bottles and we used to put hot water in them. And the bedrooms were really cold and you'd run in there and jump under the covers and put your feet on that hot water bottle and cover it with a bunch of quilts 'cause man it was like sleeping outside. It was so cold. And they, in the earlier days they cooked their food on the wood stove. Of course later on they got modern appliances and stuff and everything. I remember we, a fresh crop of corn would come in and we'd eat biscuits and butter, tomatoes, and that good old corn was so good. Anyway, I live in Harrisburg now and I have three kids and they don't know what all this is like. I remember going blackberry picking and we used to wrap our arms, around our arms and wrists and ankles. We'd put on long pants and long shirts and we'd wrap them with kerosene rags to keep the jiggers away so the blackberries, and that was good eating. And uh, we got a blackberry patch in a field we live in now and the kids don't even care about going and picking it. We just, I guess got it so easy today. We don't know what hard times are like. But anyway [pause] like I said, times were hard when my mama and daddy were growing up. And after the war, people were going up north to get cars to make a profit off of buying a car up there, up north and bringing them down south and selling them. Well Mama and Daddy had I think three hundred dollars. They'd start out to fill it up in Pennsylvania to buy a car. And there wasn't telephones, weren't telephones on the roadside like there are today. They got up to Baltimore and went and bought a trailer hitch and didn't know they were going all the way to Philadelphia actually, but they got on to Philadelphia and they bought this car. And they didn't have much money left and so on the way back the car, one of them, the battery started going dead. So Mama and Daddy, one of them had to cut the light off and uh, was driving without lights on and following. And eventually had to buy a tow bar 'cause, 'cause of the battery. So back then you could stay with people at night and it would cost you a couple of dollars. People trusted people and you know, you, your handshake was you word and, and all that and so, uh, they were able to spend the night with people along the way. Anyway, one night they were coming through one of the towns up there and Mama was following Daddy and I think they were in, pulling the car then and they fell asleep. And so the car wrecked. So the policeman came on and thought they'd been drinking and he said no, they'd fallen asleep. So then they got the cars back up on the road and poor things, this was just a disaster from the beginning. They had wrecked one of the cars and one of the headlights was messed up and all that. And they were, didn't have any money left hardly and so they tried to sell the car and the, some guy told them he'd give them a certain amount of money for the car. Well it wasn't even what they'd put in it. And they stayed with the, a preacher and his wife. And they gave him, I think they had a couple of dollars left and they gave them a couple of dollars to spend the night. And they hadn't got in contact with their families. And I guess back then they send letter, letters to people to tell them where they were at because their mama showed me a letter that she had written telling him where they were at and, anyway, they tried to sell the tow bar and the guy told them he'd give them a certain amount for that. And uh, that wasn't enough for them so I think the guy wound up buying the tow bar and the car and all. Anyway, they, Mama said that she was so glad to be heading home. And so, they got to Raleigh, North Carolina and my mother's brother was going to NC State College at the time. He said he was, him and his brother was ready to come out looking for them if they hadn't of showed up. Anyway, they were so thankful to get home, and I think I was a baby then staying with Grandmother and Granddaddy. They came back with less money than what they started, no money, no car and it was just a disaster from the beginning. But that's what people were doing then. Poor Mama and Daddy just didn't have very good luck [laughs]. They were young and everything. But they talk about having to ride the bus, uh, back and forth from Charlotte. They didn't have cars back then. They had to get around, and they were thankful for that.

There's an air of effortless grace and composure that the French bring to the table. They even invented the name for it; a certain je ne sais quoi. A certain thing that is hard to describe, and harder for the non-french to imitate. These are qualities that I think of when I think of Simon Tellier, certainly one of the most talented and yet humble drummers I've ever worked with. And he is indeed, very French.
I've known him since I was eighteen. He later told me that when we first met, I spoke much too fast for his new understanding of the English language. We met attending the same music College – Tech Music schools where Simon had landed himself a scholarship to come over from France to study. Eventually we learnt to communicate, and I'll never forget teaching him the word 'cobbles' on the streets of Edinburgh.
A year or so after we met, we both auditioned to join an in-house band at the successful pop production house Xenomania. We got the gig, and it was the most unusual entrance into the music industry for both of us. It was a very structured job – 10am to 7pm, Monday to Friday. Every day, we travelled forty minutes outside of London to a gorgeous house in the country, where our rehearsal space was in fact the pool house by the pool in the vast garden. A wonderful Spanish cook prepared a feast for us all once a week and we were on a salary (although we were not extraordinarily well paid, to have regular money for our first jobs as session musicians was a huge comfort). It was very bizarre, and it's probably safe to say neither of us will work a job like that again.
Everyone in our school knew what a fantastic drummer Simon was, and working with him 5 days a week for many months in that job meant I really got to see it first hand. He had certainly put a lot of work into it, playing drums since he was 4 years old and doing shows with his musician parents around France. He was the youngest endorsee of Mapex when he joined them in 2005. After he embarked on his move to London to attend the music school, and his stint with Xenomania he went on to play with many high profile acts, such as Tinchy Stryder, Taio Cruz, Christophe Willem, Charli XCX and Gloria Gaynor. He's most recently been busy touring with the legendary Pet Shop Boys. I got on the phone with him one Saturday afternoon to ask him for the details of his tours, past and present…
V: You've worked with a string of great artists. I'm so interested to hear all of your stories, especially about working with Gloria Gaynor…
S: Yeah, I've done a few shows with her. I was working with another artist who had the same MD (musical director) as Gloria, so she put me forward when they needed a dep drummer. They asked if I could read music, which I could. It was all the original band apart from me, and there was no rehearsal, so I met them all at sound check. The gig was on this beautiful beach in Italy. I started to set up and organise my charts on my laptop, but I realise I had forgotten to bring a foot-switch so I could turn the pages of the charts during the show. I ended up having to have a very sweet local crew guy sit next to me for the entire show, turning the pages on my laptop every time I nodded at him, all whilst my snare was smashing his ear drums.
V: It just shows you've gotta be nice to your local crew, they're worth their weight in gold! You never know what you might need to ask of them!
S: Yeah, luckily he was happy to do it, but it was really funny. My next show with her was a Russian wedding, in Greece. After a horrible long journey there, we eventually turned up to a beautiful resort. All our rooms had balconies, it was beautiful. I had greek coffee for the first time. The whole place stunk of money, and the audience didn't really seem to care when we played. Of course everyone got up for 'I Will Survive' but it was a shame. The most glamorous show we did with her was at an artist's (who won't be named!) end of summer private party in St. Tropez. It was in a club with a tiny stage, and there wasn't even a line check before the show. The party was crazy; it was like a champagne spraying contest in there. It was filled with A-list celebs; I even saw Simon Cowell there. There were girls walking round in nothing but lingerie, handing out cigars and cigarettes that we could smoke inside.
V: Wow. And what is Gloria like?
S: She's great, really lovely. And all her gigs were kind of like that. We played a yacht designers birthday party at the yacht club in Monaco which was nuts.
V: Fair enough, I'm sure she's only going out for the right money and shows. Those all sound like fun, glamorous shows. What other shows from your career have been some of your favourites?
I really loved playing with Birdy, and the French artist, Christophe Willem. It was nice to be in France so much, and playing with him was surreal as I watched him on TV when I was sixteen, winning Pop Idol. Fast forward five years later, and I'm playing shows and getting drunk with the guy.
V: Yeah that must have been really strange. It's funny how music can put you in those scenarios; it can elevate you from being at home watching someone on TV, to then being on stage with them. What other moments have been surreal for you?
S: I remember when Taio Cruz had his big hit, 'Higher.' Myself and my girlfriend at the time would always be singing it, almost in parody as it was on the radio and being played absolutely everywhere. Then the MD, Kojo, gives me a call and asks me to come audition for him. It was funny. The Gloria Gaynor gigs were always surreal too. Obviously 'I Will Survive' was such a big hit, but I knew so much of her music from listening to it at my grandmothers house growing up. She would always be played on this french radio station called 'Nostalgie.' Of course, my current shows with Pet Shop Boys are surreal. Every time we play 'West End Girls' it's really great. It's such a good track, I never get bored of it.
V: Yeah, to be playing tracks you've grown up to, with the artists themselves must feel so great. How has it been with touring with Pet Shop Boys, since they are such an established act?
S: It's been really great; the venues and crowds have been amazing. The craziest bit for me was the second South American leg we just did. It was mostly festival shows, and we played at 'Rock in Rio.' It's the biggest festival and stage I've ever seen. When you're playing, you can't see where the sea of people ends. There were 150,000 people there.
V: That's amazing. I find playing to big crowds so addictive. It's such a buzz. Do you crave big crowds or prefer smaller venues?
S: I love the adrenaline of the big crowd, but it's fun to play in small clubs too, and have that close proximity to a crowd. You can actually see the people's faces. Sometimes there's more energy in the smaller clubs too. But the audiences were great in South America. Pet Shop Boys are big in Brazil, but it can be a dangerous country, so they had to make sure everything was a safe as possible. We flew by private jet a lot, which was obviously amazing. One night when we were in Brazil, Chis and Neil invited the whole crew out for a big dinner at a Brazilian BBQ restaurant – which is the best food ever! We were eating, when I noticed there were two big, intimidating looking guys sitting near to us. I didn't think much of it, but when we got up to leave the restaurant, they got up too. We walked to a petrol station next to our hotel to get some drinks; in Brazil the petrol stations are a place to drink and socialise. There's seats outside, and people pull up their cars and play loud music. It's a bit shitty honestly, but it has great vibes. It's warm, and people are in a great mood. The two big guys follow us there too. We go back to the hotel and everyone is in the lobby saying goodnight, and I notice the two guys are sat at the hotel bar. Everyone but myself and two others have gone to bed. I go out for a cigarette and one of the guys follows me. I'm getting really worried now. He comes up to me and says 'hey, you must be Simon.' I'm assuming he must be a big fan or something… it turns out he was our security guard.
V: What a weird way to be acquainted with your security! You think he would've been introduced to you…
S: I guess he didn't wanna intrude, and wanted to find the right moment to say hi. They decided to get security because they got mugged before in Rio. By drag queens. It was in the Daily Mail the next day.
V: Wow, well that's a story! How did you get on with your security after that introduction?
S: I had really funny but awkward experience with one security guard. I had met this girl in Brazil. She wanted to hang out with me after our show, so I suggested grabbing some drinks from the petrol station next to the hotel. What I didn't realise was that Victor, the local security guard had to come with me to meet this girl. Everyone else had gone to bed, so he was free to monitor me. So, all three of us go. He sat on a table next to us whilst we tried to talk and have a date. Every time I went to the bathroom he had to come with me. I felt bad; I told him it that he didn't have to, but he said it was his job and he had to. After a while it just got too weird and we just invited him to join us. The thing is, he was a really attractive guy, and it turned out he went to the same school as this girl and they were starting to really get along.
V: Did he poach your date?!
S: No, but I caught her looking at him! Eventually, she hinted that we should go back to my hotel room to be alone… but he had to take us up the elevator! He finally left us at the door, thankfully! That was definitely awkward.
V: It sounds like an eventful tour.
S: It was a great year touring with them, but after that year of working really solidly, I wanted to go home. I've never had that before, but I was just so tired. I got sick in Brazil too, which made it harder. You're just with the same people all the time. You can't really write music. I missed my friends and family. You're sick of airports, cars, hotel rooms. You feel like you don't have your own space, and nothing is yours. It gets really strange. And strange because it was the first time that I had ever felt like that. I was getting pissed off for no reason. At the peak of my frustration, I had a situation with airport security when they took my drum key away. I just kicked off at them, and that's not like me at all.
V: Do you prefer to be at home then?
S: Well, I'm creating and inventing the other side of my career when I'm at home. I want to be both touring and spending time at home; it's about getting the balance. I love touring, but I love writing too. Ideally, I can be comfortable enough to choose where I put my focus and not just take gigs just because I need the money.
V: Yeah, I think it's great if you can strike a balance. So what music are you producing when you aren't touring?
I compose a lot of library and advert music. For the last three years I've been doing a lot of it. My housemate Sarah (DeCourcy – Musical Director) got me into it and has been helping me so much. She said to me, "you know, you're making music in your bedroom and you're not making any money from it." I thought, "fair point!" Every quarter its nice to get that PRS cheque. It's really good for when I'm not touring… since touring can be so sporadic, writing is the regular thing. It's not always instant money, especially to begin with, but it's a good investment of my time.
V: Where did you learn your production chops?
S: I've been producing for a long time but only recently started taking it seriously. Sarah taught me a few things, and I learnt from videos and things online. I'm not really a mixer, but it's important to have some mixing skills to get something simple sounding good.
V: Yeah, I guess job one is getting the programming and live recording right, because well, you cant polish a turd! You can't mix it to make it sound good if it wasn't in the first place. Do you use Logic?
S: Yeah, and a little bit of outboard gear. I use a Fat Man compressor. I would love to get some Neve preamps, but it's two grand for a little piece of gear… it's a lot! Honestly, I don't really have anything fancy, I've got one mic – an SE G3500, and I've got my bass and guitars. The rest is all in the box. I learnt how to use synthesisers properly, what they actually do rather than using presets and just hoping for the best. Producing library music really changed the game for me. I just talk to lots of other people who give me tips. The musical director with the Pet Shop Boys is a producer too. I always call him up to ask questions. I would also love to release my own music, and make my own animation movies to accompany it. I guess it would be like Gorillaz; I don't want to be the face of it. I'm still searching for my sound and who I am musically. I'm not sure which direction I will go, but its part of the process. I'm not going to release anything until I know what I am.
V: Is there anything else you like to do when you come off the road?
I do love going out and being social.
I've been thinking about drawing a lot…I would love to design my own clothes. The Pet Shop Boys have a wardrobe designer, Jeffery Bryant who has really inspired me. He dresses Duran Duran, Lady Gaga – everyone. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met. He can make an outfit out of anything. We were at a festival in Spain, and he took a table cloth from catering and made me a jacket out if it. I wore it for some photos that night. He really inspires me.
V: I remember you telling me the team were really into your natural style and 'look' for the band. Weren't you also dressed in cloaks or something strange for the show too?
S: We have a big plastic helmet we wear at the beginning of the show, and we put back on later.
V: How do you find it performing in that?
S: It's not easy, we have to sing and play in them, and you can't really see very well in them. On some songs we have to sing and walk, so you have to be careful where you're going! We got used to it though.
V: Have you ever had embarrassing moments on tour that spring to mind? Or a time where things went wrong?
There was this one time during a Christophe Willem show in France. We were playing Amneville Arena. It was going great, and it was the middle of the gig during the acoustic section, where it's just a pianist and Christophe. I go off stage to get my usual sugar rush, eat a chocolate bar or something. All of a sudden, it all goes dark and there's a power cut. The generators should have kicked in, but the power had cut a while ago and they had already been keeping the show going for a while and ran out of juice. So, we decide to go and grab the acoustic guitar. The crew took their torches and lit up Christophe's face. The audience, all 25,000 of them, start shushing and we play a few songs like that until the power came back. It was a technical problem, but it made the show really special. I think that should be part of a show one day, a fake power cut!
V: That sounds amazing. Did you have any big learning curves on tour, or learn any big lessons quickly? I always remember on our tour together opening for Paolo Nutuni, I learnt quickly to respect the headliners space. I passed the band quickly in the corridor whilst they were waiting to go back on for their encore and the tour manager really told me off later for 'getting in their way.' I think in reality, he was much more strict than most tour managers, but I certainly learnt my lesson quickly…
S: I'm always prepared for the worst, as anything can happen. During a show with Birdy, the metal parts of my kick pedal broke. It was an acoustic gig, so it was really obvious. Luckily, I was also using drum triggers, so I quickly programmed a kick sound that I could trigger with another pedal. I feel like you always need to have two snares with you. If the kick drum skin breaks, you can always turn it. It was good lesson, to always have some kind of back up pedal. I also learnt not to do too many stick tricks when I started working with Xenomania. I remember missing the '1' a few times because of them, so I stopped doing that quickly!
V: Do you have any fan stories you can share?
S: I have a big fan who created a website about me, a big Christoph Willem fan. She lists current projects and posts things regularly; it's a really professional site. I should be paying her!

By Casey Cook, WLA
Langley, BC (ISN) – On Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre, Victoria made amends of sorts, for a self admitted sub par performance the night before, by defeating the Langley Thunder 11-10 in overtime.
Victoria threatened to run away with the game early in the second period, when a goal by Corey Small at 3:38 put them up 6-3. Langley however had different plans and tied the game 8-8 at 6:30 of the 3rd period. The teams finished regulation time tied 10-10. That set the stage for Corey Small, who scored the winner at 3:38 of the overtime period.
The three stars on the game were: 1. Jeff Shattler 2-2 (VIC) 2. Athan Iannucci 4-0 (LANG) 3. Derek Lowe 2-4 (VIC). Lowe's point production since he joined the Shamrocks in a trade, has paid hude dividends for his new team.
Other scorers for Victoria were: Corey Small 3-2, Matt Yager 2-0 and Karsen Leung 0-3. Additional scorers for Langley were: Shayne Jackson 2-3 and Andy Turner 1-4. The Thunder's two big signings for this year, Garrett Billings and Lewis Ratcliff both had other commitments and were not available for the game.
Shots on the game were 45-44 for Langley. The power plays were 2-6 for Victoria and 3-6 for Langley. Chris Levis (35-45) was given the win in net for Victoria. Brodie MacDonald (24-29 in 47:39 minutes) was tagged with the loss. MacDonad came in at 22:21 of the second period, he replaced Steve Fryer, who was chased after allowing 6 goals on 15 shots.

West University fourth-grader's story published
Nine-year-old Yutia Li has already been published three times. Recognized by the iWrite Literacy Organization, Yutia said autographing copies of her work made her feel like a celebrity and that she enjoyed it.
The iWrite luncheon Saturday, Oct. 27, at downtown's Hyatt Regency celebrated 78 student authors and illustrators and gave them the opportunity to sign the book published with all their submissions.
Yutia is a fourth-grader at West University Elementary School and was first published in the second grade in the children's magazine "Stone Soup" and in "West University Buzz."'
Yutia originally started working on her story "Sweet Stunning Skyscraper" during a summer writing workshop a couple of years back. Her mom Yue Tian enrolled her after going through Yutia's daily school journals and realizing that she had a talent for writing.
The idea for the story came from seeing a picture of a golden tower. Yutia thought, "What if that was made out of chocolate?"
"So it's about this meltable chocolate tower. It's the first one ever," Yutia said. "So four mischievous girls, they decide to go and like eat the chocolate off the tower basically. And the director of the building keeps telling them to stop, but they keep finding ways around what he says, like when he tells them like not to eat it, they start licking it. And they have to figure out a way to stop them."
HUMBLE ISD: Student, star author verses her way to writing award
Yutia has enjoyed writing from a young age and said she is currently working on a poem to submit for a contest. She also plans to submit some future work to "Stone Soup." She loves reading as well.
Tian said her daughter's success so far as a writer has encouraged her to keep reading, writing and learning.
"I think, yeah, all these things kind of give her confidence, that I can get my things printed and people like it," she said. "It's kind of a positive feedback to keep writing and also when she's stuck or feels frustrated or having difficulty, she can gain courage or motivation from these things and keep going."
Yutia said when she grows up she is thinking about being an either an author or a professor. Asked what she would teach, she smiles and said she has no idea but perhaps science.
Since 2009, iWrite has published the work of more than 500 students. Luncheon Co-Chair Arun Mani said encouraging young minds to read and write is critical to their success.
"Literacy is important. Literacy matters," he said. "Children who read learn two things: first, that reading and writing are worthwhile but second, most importantly, that they are worthwhile."

A Simple Tomato Soup using ingredients from your pantry comes together quickly for a comforting meal.
This is a soup that can be served hot or cold. Imagine that, you can enjoy tomato soup cold. It's quite refreshing on a hot summer day and even better top it with a little basil pesto or cucumber salsa to you totally change up the tomato soup game.
Or fried sausage or bacon for those who need a little protein in their diet.
My mom used to make us tomato soup from a can when we were growing up and the one I really liked was called old fashioned tomato soup with rice. It had basil in it. Clearly the basil stood out for me so I've added fresh basil to my soup. You certainly don't have to but I urge you to try it.
- Use 1 tsp. dried basil to replace fresh.
- If you can afford to buy San Marzano tomatoes, buy San Marzano tomatoes
- The parmesan rind is essential for adding umami flavour, however if you do not have any forget about it.
- Always season in layers. Season when you add the tomatoes and season at the end as needed
We do love our tomato soup around here and some times serve it with grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas, or even cheese toasts. Anything goes. If you need more tomato soup in your life check out our other tomato soup recipes:

You certainly can. This is called subordinating. You would need to request this to be done by the 2nd mortgage company. They typically will charge a minimal fee to do this. Typically with subordinations they will not allow any cash back to the consumer at closing.
Yes.( possibly ) ...check with whomever you plan to refinance asap with deatiled #s so that they can check the loan to value and combined loan to value criteria on your need
Often you can. First step would be to get the 2nd mortgage lender to agree to "resubordinate" their loan to the new first mortgage. The second step would be to check with the lender you are using for your refinance to make sure that they will make a new first mortgage in the amount that you wish to borrower given that you will still have the 2nd mortgage and also given the current appraised value of your home. Hope this helps! Call if you need more.Jim Crowder (303) 817-3308
Yes typically you can
Yes it is possible, if other factors will allow it. It will depend on the loan to value for your first and what your combined loan to value is with your first and second mortgage, the second mortgage company has to agree to subordinate their position so you can refinance the first mortgage. Then on top of that you being able to qualify income, debt, job stability, assets and credit. I would speak with a local loan officer or two and have them review your information to let you know what your options are.

Cincinnati Chili Paleo Recipe
Posted on 02. May, 2012 by Tony Frezza.
I've been a huge fan of Cincinnati Chili ever since my mom-in-law made it for me over half a decade ago. My predispositions to chili before this was that it was a unattractive sloppy mixture that consistently made it's way onto amusement fairs' hot dogs. I know there are some great chili parlors all over the […]

Have you ever heard the phrase 'Couples who sweat together, stay together'? It may sound a little flippant, but there's actually some very valid reasons why partner workouts are a great idea.
I typically encourage clients to seek out a work out buddy. This could be a friend, work colleague or family member. But when your work out buddy is your life partner there's even more benefits.
It's time you considered how partner workouts can benefit not only your own health and well-being, but that of your romantic relationship.
For many of us it's difficult to maintain the motivation to exercise. Couple workouts can help with this. Motivation is the primary reason I encourage having a work out buddy. And if your buddy is someone you live with, it helps with your motivation even more… 24/7 even! A workout partner can stop you skipping sessions, encourage you to persist, and ensure good habits are maintained when you're not working out too.
It's easy to lose sight of the end goal if you are only accountable to yourself and you don't have to answer to anyone. Not only will your partner not let you skip a workout, but you are going to complete your training at high intensity. A couple workout will motivate you to be in shape, and this motivation may bring an intensity to your work out that is missing when you are training alone. Even if you already feel competent doing a particular exercise, bringing along your romantic partner may be a fantastic way to boost your energy output.
When partners care about fitness—their own and their partner's—it becomes easier to achieve fitness goals. Sharing in the ups and downs of your progress can provide the perfect context for such comments. According to a 2015 study, a couple workout makes you 40-70 percent more likely to reach your fitness goals.
Lab studies show that after jointly participating in an exciting physical challenge or activity, couples report feeling more satisfied with their relationships and more in love with their partner (Aron, Norman, Aron, & Heyman, 2000).
One of the challenges of relationships these days is that life is busy. It can be tricky to find quality time to dedicate to your partner – especially if you have children. So why not create quality time together with a couple workout? It's a win/win, benefiting your relationship as well as your health. Joint experiences, mutual goals and having a laugh together are a few of the top secrets of a healthier relationship.
In summary, fitness can be about you, or it can be about you and your partner, so why not share this aspect of your lives and discover how doing so can give your health and your relationship a huge boost.

Short on funds and fearful of losing its accreditation, Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Va., is exploring the possibility of saving itself by sharing its most valuable asset: a world-class collection of American art. Worth more than $100 million, it includes paintings by George Bellows, Edward Hopper, William Merritt Chase and Georgia O'Keeffe.
"We're looking to see if there are other entities who might want to partner with us so that we don't have to lose the collection," said Virginia Worden, an alumna and the college's acting president. "We have had auction houses come and evaluate the art and are talking to every institution we can."
In return for a financial payment to the college, for example, a partner could share ownership of the collection. But Ms. Worden conceded that the institution could not rule out selling at least some of the art. She did not specify the amount of money the college is seeking.
On May 9 Alice L. Walton, the Wal-Mart heiress whose Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is now under construction in Bentonville, Ark., visited the campus. Robert Workman, the museum's director, confirmed her interest in the collection but noted that Crystal Bridges was "meeting with museum colleagues around the country to talk about joint programs and collection sharing."
A small liberal arts institution founded in 1891, Randolph-Macon Woman's College has for some time faced falling enrollment. It will begin to admit men this fall, and in July its name will become Randolph College.
The trustees' decision to become a co-ed college prompted an outcry from alumnae and students when it was announced in September, and some protesters even raised the charge of financial malfeasance. This led to a financial review of the institution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the accrediting agency. It found no evidence of financial wrongdoing, but issued a warning that the college was spending too much of its endowment. That determination compels a second review at the end of 2007.
"We are one step away from losing our accreditation," Ms. Worden said. "We need an infusion of money. And the board has to look at every option."
The art collection began in 1907 when the graduating class raised enough money for a portrait of the college president, which was painted by Chase. In 1920 a serious acquisitions program began.
The collection — some 3,500 paintings, prints, drawings and photographs — was named the Maier Museum in 1981, after local benefactors. Among its most prized works are Bellows's "Men of the Docks" from 1912 and Hopper's "Mrs. Scott's House" from 1932.
There have been objections to turning to the art collection to solve the college's problems. Laura Katzman, a longtime associate professor of art at the college and director of its museum studies program, resigned in protest on April 27. "It seems ironic for a liberal arts institution that it has come to this," said Ms. Katzman, who argues that the board should begin civic fund-raising efforts.
"We just finished a capital campaign during which the largest gift was less than $4 million," Ms. Worden responded. "It's simply not realistic."
Buying a Warhol 'Marilyn'
While the art world was riveted last week by the big prices fetched at Sotheby's and Christie's, the hedge fund manager and collector Steven A. Cohen quietly negotiated the purchase of Andy Warhol's "Turquoise Marilyn" from the Chicago collector Stefan Edlis.
Larry Gagosian, the Manhattan dealer, brokered the deal. Jonathan Gasthalter, a spokesman for Mr. Cohen, confirmed the transaction but would not confirm the price, which is believed to be $80 million. The auction record for a Warhol was set last week at Christie's when "Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car I)" from 1963 sold for $71.7 million.
The painting, one of Warhol's classic images of Marilyn Monroe, is from a series of five he painted, each 40 inches square, in 1964. All but this one sustained bullet holes that year when a woman entered Warhol's Manhattan studio, aimed a gun at his forehead, missed and hit the four paintings stacked on the floor. The others are in well-known private collections, including those of the publisher S. I. Newhouse Jr., the Greek shipping heir Philip Niarchos and the newsprint magnate Peter Brant.
Mr. Cohen has spent the last seven years assembling one of the world's finest private art collections, paying top dollar for pieces ranging from a Manet self-portrait to a classic Pollock drip painting to Damien Hirst's infamous shark submerged in a tank of formaldehyde.
A Serra Sculpture to Anchor a Museum
A monumental undulating steel wall by Richard Serra will be the first sight to welcome visitors when they step inside the new Broad Contemporary Art Museum, Renzo Piano's three-story building for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Eli Broad, the philanthropist who donated $50 million to the project, and his wife, Edythe, have purchased the 2006 sculpture "Band" from Mr. Serra for the museum, which is to open in February.
But New Yorkers will get the first look, because the sculpture is making its debut at the Museum of Modern Art's retrospective of Mr. Serra's work, which opens on June 3.
"Band" is among Mr. Serra's most elaborate works: with alternating interior and exterior spaces, created by 10 steel plates standing nearly 13 feet high, it weighs 183 tons.
While officials in Los Angeles declined to report what the Broads paid, contemporary art experts estimate the price at $10 million. Michael Govan, director of the Los Angeles County Museum, said that when the new building opened, the entire ground floor would be devoted to Mr. Serra's work. But "Band" will be the crown jewel.
"It will be a landmark for Los Angeles," he said. "It has that kind of scale and presence."

It would appear that horse power is on the increase in and around the town of Pinoso in the province of Valencia, and I don't mean the internal combustion engine variety, but gee gees, good old Mr. Ed and pals. 'Neigh, surely not,' I hear you say, 'the Spanish love their cars too much, don't they?' Yes they do, but Spain has a long standing reputation par-excellence for equestrian pursuits, at both professional and amateur levels. And it appears to have rubbed off on the ex-patriot community as increasing numbers have taken the bit and are keeping horses of their own. Wooden ranch fencing, lunging rings and timber stables are springing up all over.
It's not uncommon now to see people coming to town on horseback, or sitting in a horse drawn buggy clip clopping down the high street. It's nice, quaint and very good for the roses, if you've a shovel handy. A few of the new stables have been constructed with bricks and mortar, but the ones that attract attention (for the right reasons) are those built from wood. Concrete and blocks are an all too familiar sight in modern Spain so it's good to see timber being used instead.
Seeing the combination of wooden ranch fencing with a gate and a wooden stable close-by rests easy on the eye, they blend perfectly together into the surrounding countryside – their appearance comes over as homely, established, part of the scenery. The Spanish had an aversion to using timber because traditional houses and outbuildings used untreated lumber cut straight from surrounding areas. Invariably, the local, wood chewing insects came attached, or imbedded. Over time the beams and timber supports became riddled with holes and eventually collapsed. Today, thankfully, good quality wood is treated against everything that chews and the worst the elements can throw at it, so this old fear is being laid to rest at last.
If you are considering keeping a horse or two in the near future then consult a professional carpenter to build a wooden stable. Wood offers excellent insulation in winter and summer but doesn't retain heat like concrete blocks; therefore, the horse gets a comfortable night in a wooden stable as the ambient temperature drops, as opposed to being in the middle of a giant storage heater. Woodworks Direct, equidistant from Yecla, Jumilla and Fortuna, will construct a superior quality wooden stable from fully treated timber, and at a price that won't shock. Give your potential four-legged friends a treat and think wood. Don't saddle them with second best.

Looking for a relaxing RV getaway in western Alberta? If so, look no further than Young's Point Provincial Park. Young's Point Provincial Park is a fantastic family friendly park that is located on the northwest shore of Sturgeon Lake. The park came to be after the boreal forest ecosystem that is found within the park was identified as being important and that is should be protected. The official opening date was August 3rd, 1971 and the park now encompasses a massive 2,690 acres (10.89sqkm). The park takes its name from Frederick Campbell Young who was a homesteader in in the area back in the 1920s.
A lot has changed in the area since the 1920s but the park is a nice throwback to days gone by. The most popular place to be at the park during the summer is by the lake with boating, swimming and swimming all possible and highly recommended. There are also over 12 miles (20km) of trails for you to explore and many lovely spots to relax and have a picnic. The fun doesn't stop in winter at the park either with ice fishing and cross-country skiing both being fun things that you can do.
The camping facilities at Young's Point Provincial Park are very modern and will provide you with a very comfortable stay in your RV. In total there are four loops within one large campground that contains 124 sites for visitors to call home. 78 of these have 15 and 30 amp electrical hookups with 46 being primitive. Camping is only available during the peak months, which run from May until October.
Young's Point Provincial Park is located in western Alberta and is situated on the north-west side of Sturgeon Lake. The park has one main entrance road that splinters off to two roads that will take you to either the campground or the day-use area.
Young's Point Provincial Park has a few towns around that will provide you with the amenities you will need to enjoy your stay at the park however there are none that are under a 20 minute drive. The closest towns are Valleyview (around 20 miles or 32km), Debolt (around 21 miles or 32km) and Little Smoky (around 49 miles or 80km). The closest city to Young's Point Provincial Park is Grande Prairie, which can be found 58 miles (94km) to the west of the park.
Accessing the park should be very straightforward as the roads are very wide and flat and the park is not too far from the Alberta Highway 43. The road into the park is kept in very good condition and there will be no obstacles that will hinder your journey. During the winter the park is still open and you can access the main area of the park, however if you do plan on visiting the park during winter make sure you call the park in advance to confirm that you will have road access.
There is plenty of parking available at Young's Point Provincial Park.
There are no public transport options that will take you to the park.
RV camping is easy and comfortable at Young's Point Provincial Park with one large campground available for you to call home. In total there are 124 sites, 78 of which have 15 and 30 amp electrical hookups and 46 are non-powered primitive sites. Most of the sites at the campground are large, flat and compacted with gravel which makes for an easy setup. There is no limit on RV size at the park and it has been remarked that big rigs will have no problem fitting on the campground roads and into the sites in the Big Horn Loop.
Many visitors to Young's Point Provincial Park are impressed with the modern camping amenities once they arrive at the campground. Some of these include coin operated showers, flush toilets, boat ramps, a playground, picnic area and a dump station. The park is also pet friendly but they must be kept on a leash at all times.
Throughout most of the year reservations are allowed but if you are visiting right at the start or the end of the season all sites will be first come, first served. Reservations can be made online or by contacting the park office.
If you aren't a skier, you will still be able to enjoy the winter recreational activities that are found at Young's Point Provincial Park. Perhaps you can give ice fishing on Sturgeon Lake a try, or if fishing isn't your thing you can go for a skate on the outdoor rink that is located in the day use area. Snowshoeing is also an option and you are welcome to explore the park in all areas besides the cross-country skiing trails. If you are more of an extreme fan snowmobiling is allowed but you can only do it on the lake.
Once the snow starts to fall in Young's Point Provincial Park the hiking trails transform into some great terrain for the cross-country skiers. The trails range from easy to intermediate in difficulty and total around seven and a half miles (12km) in length. The trails are not patrolled and due to the freezing weather all skiers should be prepared for any emergencies. Park staff suggest you carry your cell phone and an emergency kit containing an extra ski tip, wire, pliers, cord, a pocket knife, screw driver and screws.
Young's Point Provincial Park also has other recreation options besides those at Sturgeon Lake. There are some great hiking trails available for visitors to explore and adventure on that total to 12 miles (20km) in length. The trails are located north from the campground and one main trail will take you to where the individual loop trails are located. If you can only do one loop we recommend the Boreal Trail so that you can experience some the rare ecosystem that the park was established to protect.
It wouldn't be fair to mention recreational activities at Sturgeon Lake without touching on fishing. The lake is a very popular place to cast out a line and try to catch the big one and attracts fisherman from all over to come and try their luck. Since the lake is quite large you will have plenty of fishing spots to choose from for those in boats or fishing from the banks. Some of the most common fish caught include northern pike, walleye and yellow perch. For fishing rules and regulations contact the park office.
Sturgeon Lake is also a fantastic boating area due to its large size and open waters. Power boating is allowed within the lake so you will be able to zoom along to wherever you want to and explore as much as you like. There is a boat launch available for your convenience that is perfect for the majority of boats that can use the lake. There are no guarantees that boat rentals will be available during your stay so make sure to bring your own watercraft if you think you would like to get out on the water.
You can't beat going for a refreshing dip on a hot summer's day and for visitors to Young's Point Provincial Park you will have the chance to do so thanks to the seasonal beach at Sturgeon Lake. The beach has shallow, clear waters with a large amount of natural reeds and weeds. Once you are finished swimming there is a grass area that is a great picnic area. There are no lifeguards on patrol anytime at the beach so make sure that you swim to your abilities.

Cooking for others can be difficult when they don't eat by the same guidelines that you do or don't have the same food preferences. Sometimes, it seems as if the only choice you have is to serve roasted chicken and vegetables or salads yet again. While this might seem the case, it isn't true at all. Take these stuffed mushrooms, for example.
They're filled with tender ground turkey and mixed with water chestnuts and leafy fresh parsley. The filling is combined by homemade paleo mayo instead of a rich, heavy sauce. With flavors so expertly blended you won't even notice there isn't melted swiss cheese on top. There's also the surprise of fennel with make you appreciate all the spices you have been neglecting in your cooking.
These are a nice addition to main courses as an extra side or served as paleo hors d'oeuvres. However, they can be made into an open face turkey "sloppy joe" by substituting 2 to 3 large portabella mushrooms and placing the filling over them. No matter which way you decide to get this in your belly, you'll be glad that you did.
- 1 package cremini mushrooms (washed with stems removed)
- For the Stuffing
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/2 can water chestnuts (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Paleo Mayo)
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed (crushed or ground)
Steps to Make It
Gather the ingredients.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
To start, lay the mushrooms out on a rimmed baking dish or in a large casserole dish.
As the oven preheats, combined all of the stuffing ingredients in medium mixing bowl and knead until all ingredients are well incorporated into ground turkey.
Using a spoon, scoop equal parts mixture into each cremini mushroom until all of the mixture is used.
Once the oven is preheated, put the stuffed mushrooms in and allow to cook for 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, check to make sure turkey is cooked completely.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Serve while warm and enjoy!
- Mushrooms will keep for a day or two at most. Must be kept in an airtight container inside the refrigerator. To reheat, place in a baking dish and reheat at 350 degree F for approximately 10 minutes or until warm or reheat in microwave safe dish on high for 2 minutes or until warm.
- On day two and not sure what to do with these stuffed mushrooms? Chop the entire mushroom and flling up and throw them in a skillet with scrambled eggs and then top with salsa for a spur-of-the-moment breakfast (perhaps like this Sunrise Scramble).

Over the years, I've had more than my share of lows fishing Hemingford, but by a long way, the highs compensate for and overshadow the fishless days.
I guess, for me, one of the biggest attractions of fishing Hemingford Grey – Marsh Lane Pit- is the unknown aspect of the place. At 65 acres, it is a big venue by any standards. However, with so much of it unfishable – especially in the part "affectionately" known as "Jurassic Park" – only adds to, and compounds the mystery surrounding the lake. Gravel works first started in the late 40s to build the A14, although its history goes back much further. The south half of the lake is in fact 11 sunken ponds that go back generations. As you drive around the backtrack, you will see on the other side of the stream one of the remaining ponds, which looks like Tench heaven. Interestingly, and this will raise a few eyebrows, there are 3 clearly different strains of Tench present and this is without a doubt due to the ponds being flooded into one large pit. The same can be said of the carp, especially the mirrors, where occasionally you will land a resident mirror with double pecks, often both sides, but sometimes on one side. Stocking of carp first started in the early-60s and has continued since, although I have it on good authority that Carp were put in soon after the gravel works commenced. This, I understand was common practice, especially by big gravel companies such as La-Tharge'.

And you're right, Helen is stunningly beautiful, but it was just sad that she was typecast in this "hot caberet dancer" role; that's what happened to a lot of women in Bollywood at the time (still happens today.) :(

Endnote no longer allows ibid in lower case. Instead Ibid is inserted into repeated references. Does It used to work. ibid is required in the OSCOLA law style (www.law.ox.ac.uk/oscola)
The appearance of ibid, in place of repeated footnote references, can still be customized by editing your EndNote output style. To do so:
1. Open EndNote.
2. Click "Edit>Output Styles>Open Style Manager".
3. Find this particular output style and double-click on its name.
4. When the Edit Style window appears, click on the "Repeated Citations" tab.
5. The Repeated Citations tab has two associated settings:
a. A setting for- "If the Same Reference Repeats in a Consecutive Citations".
b. A setting for- "If the Same Source Repeats in Consecutive Citations".
You may find a capitalized 'Ibid' in one or both of these fields. Feel free to change the capitalization for either by backspacing the capitalized 'I' and replacing the letter with a lowercase 'i'.
6. Close the style and save your changes.
7. Try formatting your document with the newly saved version of your customized output style.
Please let me know if this solves your formatting issue. If the problem persists, there may be a separate issue that we'd need to take a look at. In that case, I'd contact you directly in order to find the underlying cause.

Hello, I recently encountered this problem and used the Style Manager exactly as above in order to fix it. I changed "repeat citations" to a lowercase "ibid" but found when I ran it on my word document it was not showing up, despite all other changes I would make to the style working with ease.
I found that only by selecting "force separation" in the drop-down menu on the right of the task-bar when replacing the lower-case "ibid" would the word document actually show a lower-case. I placed the force separation lines before and after the lowercase ibid. They look like this: |
I hope this helps if anyone reads the above, as I did, and still cannot get it to work. Lawyers using EndNote become style-fixers very quickly because it is an imported (and very demanding) style.

CHICAGO -- Kizin Creole is Chicago's only Haitian restaurant, serving authentic dishes straight from the island nation.
The Rogers Park restaurant prides itself on being the heart of the Haitian community in the Midwest as it promotes Haitian food, art, music, the language of Creole and literature.
"It's more than just Caribbean food in Haiti," said Daniel Desir, Kizin Creole's owner and executive chef. "Since Haiti is one of the islands where we had a lot of colonizers, so it's that we have a staple of French, Spanish, Italian. So we have a bit of everybody's cuisine."
Desir said he loves when people visit and "see that other face of Haiti."
"It's not just what we see on TV, what you hear from other people, but you come in for yourself to see how fun it is to learn about Haiti," Desir said.
