GE's Reset
Recently reread GE Jeff Immelt's Letter to Shareholders in its 2008 Annual Report. A few comments. I like how GE has a picture of its senior team in the introduction. It is not the first time but it goes a long way in honoring the team. I always find GE's CEO Letters revealing. The general theme is that GE along with the global economy and business in general have to be "reset" for the long-term and perhaps forever. "The interaction between government and business will change forever. In a reset economy, the government will be a regulator; and also an industry policy champion, a financier, and a key partner." Immelt calls it a reset world. The CEO is resetting the company to focus on three big themes – emerging market growth, clean energy and sustainable healthcare.
One of my favorite parts, of course, came when Immelt discusses GE's reputation. Immelt has often mentioned "reputation" in his CEO Shareholder Letters and clearly considers reputation a metric of success. He said in an earlier CEO Letter (2002): "My own role on the GE Board is clear. I have two functions: lead the company as CEO with integrity, clarity and purpose, as measured by financial performance and reputation." This time he said, "Let's face it: our Company's reputation was tarnished because we weren't the 'safe and reliable' growth company that is our aspiration. I accept responsibility for this. But, I think this environment presents an opportunity of a lifetime. We get a chance to reset the core of GE and focus on what we do best."
When I wrote my book on Reputation Recovery, I had a section on Resetting the Company Clock which came from a statement made by Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. It is the role of the CEO to not only be the company's reputation guardian but to reset the company clock when crisis strikes, winds shift or people do not recognize the urgency of the day. The word reset is a good one.
Interestingly, Immelt notes that GE has instituted more scenario planning, presumably to see around corners and a new process to identify what he calls industry "naysayers" who might have something important to tell his unit heads. We call these people "badvocates" but either way, GE intends to listen more carefully than before.
In the last paragraph, Immelt says "GE will be a better company winning through this crisis." I underlined the word winning. In recent weeks, I have heard several CEOs use "winning." Maybe something's changing.

Leading Nigerian pop star, Wizkid who was nominated for a BET Award in the category of Best International Act: Africa has turned down the nomination.
According to an online journal, Wizkid who is currently based in the United States said he felt insulted.
He wondered why he would be placed in the same category as typical Nigerians. He said he was an international artiste even though he is from Nigeria. He also stressed that he had won the award earlier.
He also said he would not be interested in BET Award until they get it right.
Wizkid also got 7 nominations from Billboard Music Award and recently tweeted to fellow nominee, Mr Eazi to bring the BET award home. Wizkid seemed really disappointed despite all his attempts at westernizing himself.
Some other artistes nominated in the same category include: Tekno, Davido, Mr. Eazi.
The big questions now: Is rejecting awards the trend among Nigerian artistes? Does placing him in that category belittle him, or is he just proud?

On April 6-7 2016 NAGTRW attended The Forgotten Voices Conference that was held at the Romanian Parliament in Budapest
The primary goal of this conference was to bring together various stakeholders to draw a parallel between the past and the present situation and explore how the causes of that tragedy are reflected in the discrimination, marginalization and persecution of the Roma, Gypsies & Travellers today. Furthermore There will be a document produced which will serve as a basis for advocating for the recognition of the Roma genocide and of anti-Gypsyism as a specific form of discrimination at the European level.
There were delegates from all over Europe who came together for this conference, we heard not only of the horrors of the Holocaust and the devastation it caused our people, but of the ongoing discrimination and hate crime our peoples are subjected to.
A copy of the finished document will be published when available

Understanding The Blockchain Technology Beyond Cryptocurrency
In November of 2015, a couple, Kim Jackson and Zach LeBeau, were married on the blockchain. Most people only think of blockchain as something to do with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and nothing more. But a blockchain can store more than just currency units and be put into other uses. Essentially, the blockchain offers a distributed means to verify and guarantee transactions which ultimately gives you the chance to cut out middlemen.
According to Gartner, the blockchain technology will in the long term lead to reformation of entire industries. Already, major companies are adopting blockchain as a means to simplify and strengthen their supply chains. Blockchain could be used to record each product step and guarantee the origin of items like food.
One pioneering advancement brought about by blockchain is a lock that is opened by money. You just need to pay through a blockchain transaction to close and open the smart lock with your smart devices. Slock is the company that's come up with this ingenious lock by taking advantage of another of blockchain's uses; automated security. Blockchain assures your security by using code embedded on it to grant or deny access depending on who is requesting.
The blockchain can also be used for peer-to-peer exchanges or sale. If you have an unused item like a laptop charger or something else that your peer may need, you can rent it out and get paid in bitcoins through a blockchain smart contract.
Since blockchain is a ledger that is incorruptible and enhances transparency, it has a huge potential to create social change. One of the areas this has manifested itself is in the protection of human rights of every individual. In 2017, the UNWFP sent more than 10,000 Syrian refugees cryptocurrency based vouchers. An ambitious project that offers refugees blockchain IDs and bitcoin credit cards is known as Bitnation. This enables them to have emergency identification as well as receive funds without the necessity for a bank account.
Other examples of how blockchain protects our human rights are:
- Creating financial avenues for the most impoverished-acts like a bank for those without bank accounts. You don't get charged to transfer money and as long as you have access to a smartphone, you can conveniently access money.
- Preventing voter fraud-blockchain technology can provide an unhackable electronic vote-counting system.
- Improve government efficiency by accelerating their capabilities and ensuring security as most processes are susceptible to corruption.
Blockchain automation is another emerging trend. For example in home automation, a sensor could report a damp to the blockchain. This triggers instructions for repair funds to be transferred from an insurer to a claimant's account even before you notice anything wrong. A digital currency automated with your walking has been launched which pays you to walk. According to the creators, it offers an added incentive to keep fit and the coins you earn can be spent at your local store.
Some ideas may look like solutions anticipating problems but some are linked to real needs. The cryptocurrency craze just goes to show that the genie is already out of the bag and even though it won't be here tomorrow, it's coming. Blockchain has and will go beyond bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. However, as it's set to disrupt quite a lot, we'll wait and see the direction it will take.
What uses do you see blockchain being put to? Let us know in the comments below.

Snow snow snow - 24 January 07 - 22:04
Yesterday when I left the office quite late (cough 22h30 cough) it was already snowing and when we woke up this morning there was enough of that white stuff to make transportation here in Nürnberg interesting, to say the least. Luckily I went home with the subway and could also go to work with the subway this morning, so there was no problem.
But then I went by car during lunch break and had some interesting curves Playing with the snow like an adult, I love my hand brake! gnagnagna
Here a picture to give you a feeling of the weather here:

Friends: The audiences this year have been significantly subdued, or better behaved, compared to last year. It wasn't uncommon last year to hear an outburst of applause indicating someone's approval of a political comment in a movie or a sudden boo from someone who was offended by an act or remark. It was a quaint little gesture, that I miss, showing how much people cared. Maybe it was the Michael Moore virus of boorish behavior that infected last year's fest, or, maybe, it's just because the films this year are essentially apolitical.
That good behavior came to an end, however, today in the final two competition screenings that started my day. The opening credits to the much-anticipated Taiwanese "Three Times" were entirely in Chinese. After several names individually filling the screen had been flashed, someone let loose a burst of applause, a little joke that brought laughter, as audiences are prone to applaud a name when that person has been introduced before the screening and is in attendance, though not this time. And then others got into the act, applauding the next few names that came up. This had to be an act tantamount to sacrilege in the eyes of those who consider the film's director, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, a virtual deity and whose films are defined by their subtlety and solemnity. This was a most inappropriate tone to set for this film. I was surprised the film's producers didn't demand the offenders immediately ejected and the screening to be recommenced.
"Three Times" is three separate stories of love featuring the same actor and actress taking place in 1911, 1966 and 2005. The story lines of each are straight forward enough that this is less tedious fare than Hou Hsiao-Hsien is known for, but there was more of the Cannes head bob going on around me, some of it with snoring, than any other film of the festival. His films are always the most walked out upon when they play at Chicago's Festival, as all too many people, not knowing better, pay attention to the critics, who consider whatever he does a masterpiece. His first segment, the one which takes place in 1966, had the most sensuous moment of this festival, a simple close-up of two hands slowly intertwining at the film's conclusion.
The start of Tommie Lee Jones directorial debut, "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada," was likewise marred by several audience members flashing their cameras at the Cannes insignia that precedes each film. They were in extreme violation of Festival regulations, as all bags are searched before each screening looking for explosive devices and cameras. Someone got a big laugh from the audience when, between the opening promo and the start of the film, he shot a picture of the empty screen.
This commotion almost helped enhance the tone for this tale of Tommie Lee Jones taking the murdered body of a Mexican friend of his back to Mexico to be buried by horseback along with the border patrol official who murdered him with the the authorities in pursuit. When the competition schedule was announced there was considerable doubt expressed whether this was worthy of a competition slot and not just a cheap concession to get an American star to the festival as when Johnny Depp's sole directorial effort played in competition seven or eight years ago and has never been seen since. Jones proved himself to be worthy. It may even have
commercial possibilities despite the occasional subtitles.
With the festival winding down and just a minimum of choices I was forced into seeing the market screening of the mockumentary "All That I Need." This was a micro-budget American production about a pyramid scam. The cast includes a crazed used-car salesman, a judge, a priest, a former IRS agent who insists that paying taxes is voluntary, an investment banker, a cancer patient and a stripper. There might have even been a serial killer among them. This attempt at a movie was a very unsubtle study of greed and lust.
My much anticipated "Habana Blues," the first film by the Spaniard Benito Zembrano since his sensational debut "Solas" in 1999, was honored with the closing night slot for the "Un Certain Regard" category. It will also be the final film played in the outdoors theater on the beach tomorrow night at 9:30, implying that it is an audience-pleaser.
The film is about the struggles of young Cuban musicians and is full of adrenalin-rich musical numbers. The story has been told countless times of musicians everywhere. This has the wrinkle of the Cubans being virtual prisoners on their island. The two 28-year old leads are very charismatic and so is their music. Bicycles are ubiquitous in Cuba and in this movie as well.
With fewer choices of films I only managed five films this day, the first time in a week I've seen less than six movies. I saw a few frames of Scorcese's "The Last Waltz" at the outdoor theater on my way up to "Me and You and Everyone We Know," which had just been named the best film of the Critic's Week sidebar. This was no surprise, as this film had a buzz before it even got here, having played at Sundance. This debut feature by American Miranda July has been compared to "Slackers" with its meandering portrayal of a small cast of likeable and mostly wholesome characters who keep crossing paths with one another in a small town. Most of the interchanges are fairly sweet, but some would not have been out of place in Harmoni Korrine's "Gummo." Young filmmakers will be inspired by this low-budget production whose cast could all well have been friends of the director just helping her out in the effort to make a movie. This was a rare success story of such an effort.
Two days to go, but they will be a good two days, as all the films in Competition and in Un Certain Regard will be replayed, not all of which I have seen. I am most anxious to catch up with Cronenberg's "A History of Violence" and the Mexican "Battle in Heaven." I just have to hope neither of them wins the Palm d'Or, as then their screening will require formal attire, which I do not have, a fate that prevented me from seeing "Fahrenheit 911" last year when I delayed seeing it until the final Sunday. Haneke's "Hidden" still appears to be the front-runner, but Hou
Hsia-Hsien is always a threat, darling as he is of critics and film snobs and their brethren.
Later, George

What is a digital lifestyle?
By TheKeyboardDemon 14 Comments
I was talking to a friend and was really surprised to learn that my friend, usually someone I see as a tech guru, didn't know that he could use his PS3 as a media streaming device and it occurred to me that he might not be alone with this. This blog might help to explain this technology to others and possibly even give people a new way to enjoy their digital content.
For many of us the technology we have around us tends to be used for very specific reasons, games consoles for playing games, TVs, PDAs, laptops and PCs all have their own uses too. I won't go in to too much detail (I don't want this blog to be too long) but I'm sure you are all familiar with items I have just mentioned. Some of you might also have digital cameras, digital video cameras, MP3 players, iPod Touch, iPad, Android tablets and even network attached storage (NAS) devices. This blog is about how all of those devices can be made to work with the other devices to make it easier for you to enjoy your content from anywhere in your home and with some content anywhere with an internet connection. This concept is often described as living a digital lifestyle, I hope this will show those of you who don't know what that is, how you can get this for yourselves.
This is made possible with a concept developed by DLNA who are the Digital Living Network Alliance, "a global collaboration of 245 of your most trusted brands, all working together to help you create the home entertainment environment you've always imagined." They created a set of Interoperability Guidelines that first appeared in June 2004 and then updated this to version 1.5 in October 2006 at which time they also defined a DLNA certification program that ensured all manufacturers complied before being awarded DLNA recognition.
Rather than explain DLNA I will embed some videos so I can talk about other features instead.
There are a number of devices that can make use of the DLNA, most relevant to the GiantBomb community are the gaming devices. The PS3 supports all of the DLNA features while the Xbox 360 supports Microsoft's Windows Media PC standards making it possible for Xbox 360 owners to enjoy many of the features.
What I really like about DLNA is that increasingly more and more devices are being brought into the market with DLNA built in, many new TVs have a network connection on the back such as Samsung, LG and Panasonic.
This is great as we now have a means to access our content that could be stored on the hard drive inside our laptop or gaming PC, however this does mean that we need the laptop or PC on which the content is stored to be switched on at the time so it's not as convenient as it could be. So there are also devices that make it easy to store the content and access it without having to get up to start the laptop or PC up. Here's 3 starting with the WD My Book World drives , Seagate Freeagent GoFlex Home and the NETGEAR Stora (Home Media Network Storage drive, this is the drive I use).
Excellent, a step forward, but we still need to connect our media playing device to the network, while wireless connections are ok for most things trying to get a continuous HD or Blu-Ray media stream over a wireless connection will result in a lot of buffering, not really ideal when you just want to sit back and enjoy that holiday video you have stored on your network drive. I use PowerLine products to overcome this issue, it is just like using a normal network cable only it doesn't require network cables to be installed at great expense. Instead PowerLine converts your network output into an encrypted RF feed that is carried in the electrical cables running through your home. Here are 3 examples Devolo , NETGEAR ( ) and Western Digital .
So now you can have your content stored, streamed to a device that's connected to a TV or a few devices connected to a few TVs around your home you can say that you are living in a truly digital home. There is more though as there are devices that can combine the function of a network hard drive with the media player to give you something like this Western Digital media hub which not only gives you full access to all of your stored content, a hard drive to store the content itself but also gives you access to live services such as YouTube, Pandora, Facebook, Netflix and Blockbuster on demand.
If you have read all this and enjoyed or learnt something please share what you think, as I said at the start the purpose of the blog was just to highlight some ways in which we could enjoy a more digital lifestyle and these are some things that I have found quite a few people didn't know about so I wanted to share it with you all.

So you were divorced 6 years ago and child support was set for your two children at that time. You have since remarried, changed employment and now have a third child. Should you now seek a modification of the child support order? The short answer is, it depends.
First, you have multiple options on how to seek a modification. The Child Support Enforcement Agency will review every support order, at the request of either party every 36 months. There are however limitations to their review. As an administrative agency, they only have the power to review the statutory factors, such as change in: income, child care expenses, health insurance coverage, etc. They do not have the legal authority to modify a prior child support order and include any prior deviation (agreed upward or downward amount of support) in the support order. Therefore, many parties who have a shared parenting plan, where they have deviated from the statutory amount of support, would be bound by a straight child support order if reviewed by the Agency.
You may also chose to modify support by filing a motion with the court. The court, as well as the agency, will require a finding that there is a minimum of a 10% change in the amount of support before they will accept a modification. The Court will review all relevant changes to the past child support, including any original reasons on why the order should be deviated.
Simply because there have been many changes in your life, does not necessarily mean you should seek a modification in support. For example, if you have recently had another child and you decide to leave your job to be a stay at home mother, the Court may still assign to you your prior income, and the addition of the new child may not justify a 10% change in the overall amount of support. Likewise, if you paying child support and you have increased your income by $25,000 since the order was issued, you may still want to file a motion to modify your support obligation if your children are now out of daycare. Every situation is unique and different.
In short, if it has been over three years since the last support order was issued, you should contact a local family law attorney to review your current situation. He or she will need to review your prior order, however the consultation can typically take place over the phone and in a few minutes you may save yourself hundreds of dollars over the next year.

A company called Ember makes a high tech heating mug that keeps your coffee at your perfect temperature the entire time you're drinking it.
Follow KTLA Tech Reporter Rich DeMuro on Facebook or Twitter for cool apps, tech tricks & tips!
Clay Alexander is a lively guy. The CEO of Ember Technologies lights up with enthusiasm when you ask him about his latest invention: a coffee mug that heats up.
"People are saying... this coffee mug has changed my life!!!" blurts out Alexander.
We're hanging out in his Westlake Village, California offices. An unlikely place for a high tech startup. Alexander explains that he chose this suburban city because it wasn't Silicon Valley.
Ember's first product is a connected coffee mug with a built in heating element, Bluetooth and enough sensors to run a small home. Pour some coffee in and the unit goes to work. It automatically senses the temperature of the drink and cools it down to your desired level and keeps it there.
Alexander came up with the idea several years ago. Early prototypes were crude, but the basic idea has remained the same. Make coffee drinkable from the first sip to the last.
"It just kind of blew my mind. I thought, man, I bet the world would be interested in this," said Alexander of his first prototype.
Ember's first mug is sleek - the kind of product Apple itself might design. There are no buttons, no gaudy dials and it looks and feels like a regular mug. Way less bulky than I had imagined. Alexander says that's because he insisted on hiring engineers who have previously worked on cell phones - they knew how to cram a bunch of tech into a tight space.
Coffee is generally served at around 160 degrees - way too hot for consumption. So people spend the first few minutes waiting for it to cool down to a reasonable temperature. Then, a few great sips and it begins the quick descent into the cold.
But not if you pour your drink into an Ember mug. The bottom doubles as a dial - turn it and an invisible digital screen magically comes to life. Here, you can see the current temperature of your drink. Just turn the dial to lock in your perfect temperature.
Alexander says most people like coffee around 130 or so and a few degrees hotter for tea. I tried several temperatures until I settled on 135.
I've now used a mug Ember sent me for review purposes on many mornings, and it's tough to go back to my old fashioned coffee ways. Sure, you have to charge it each night and the heating effect doesn't last as long as you think (about 2 hours), but it is strangely satisfying to drink a cup of coffee at a constant temperature the entire time. I'm so used to that final freezing cold sip that my brain is having a tough time adjusting to the fact that the last sip is really the last, since it's just as perfect as the first.
When Starbucks began to sell the mugs in some of their stores, they couldn't keep them on the shelves. The $150 mug would sell out almost immediately. It created a buzz for the mug, which began its life on Indiegogo. They are now available on Amazon.
Still, a $150 heated coffee mug is a big sell to a lot of people who are perfectly fine with their Thermos or paper cups. That's why Alexander is selling up the finer aspects of a perfect cup of joe.
"That's what Ember is about - bringing out the flavor and the taste of the coffee at the perfect temperature," says Alexander.
I can't argue with him. The cup of fresh ground coffee he made me in his office was among the best I've ever had - no sugar, just a little cream. And it stayed warm throughout our entire interview.
The company has a lot in the pipeline. First, a line of Ember mugs in various colors. Later, applying the same Ember warming technology to various things, like baby bottles.
Nobody should suffer through that final cold, cruel sip - now, they don't have to.

When Google launched its playable Pac-Man 30th anniversary Google Doodle last Friday, they thought it might be popular, but not quadruple visit times!
RescueTime, makers of productivity tracking and optimisation software found the following…
• 4,819,352 hours of time lost. This is above the 33.6 million man hours of attention Google gets on a regular day.
• More than $120 million in lost productivity, assuming the cost of the average Google user is $25 an hour (that's pay plus benefits).
• For that same cost, you could hire all 19,835 google employees, from Larry and Sergey down to their janitors, and get 6 weeks of their time.

Weight loss tips to help you achieve your Healthy Weight. Including grocery shopping, exercise and more.
Dieting is a Mindset/0 Comments/in Lifestyle & Exercise, Weight Loss Tips /by Christy Kirkendol Watson, M.D.
When many people think of dieting, negative thoughts come to mind. It means giving up your favorite foods for a certain period of time … but it doesn't have to be this way. Instead of thinking "diet," think "lifestyle." Consider: What do you want to do to improve your lifestyle?
A good way to go about this is gradually. It's tough on your mind and your body when you completely uproot the lifestyle you've been grounded in. A good first thing to try is portion control. If you go out to eat, cut your burger in half first thing so that you know how much to allot yourself to eat. Take the leftover home for lunch tomorrow at work! If the cookies in the cookie jar are calling your name, limit yourself to one a day. Rejoice in the fact that you have self-control to only have one cookie instead of the whole jar. Oftentimes, we think that our minds are in control of our body but in reality, our stomach controls our body. By starting off limiting portion sizes, it will become easier to gauge when you're actually full and will feel satisfied.
Along with portion sizes, cut out certain foods gradually. If you're like me and LOVE grains, start out limiting your intake. Carbs can often leave you feeling hungry, which causes more weight gain from not feeling satisfied. Only have pasta once a week for dinner. Try mixing some greens in with your sandwiches. In time, you'll be able to successfully limit your intake and will feel fuller longer.
Start changing your mindset from "I can't do this" to "If I do this, I'll be healthier." We all want to live a long healthy life, but that's easier said than done. If you start with your biggest weakness (your mind & thoughts), you'll slowly begin to realize that this maybe isn't as tough as you thought it would be.
Moral of the story: this process takes time. Be patient and be kind to yourself. You can do it!

Ten Healthy New Year's Resolutions To Keep In 2016/0 Comments/in Solutions for Weight Loss, Weight Loss Tips /by Christy Kirkendol Watson, M.D.
Millions of Americans make losing weight or getting healthy a resolution each year. Making a general resolution can be difficult to keep. For example, we all see the increase of attendance at the gym in early January as people are motivated to lose weight and get in shape. Then the end of January hits and the number of people at the gym drastically drops. It's hard to keep goals that don't fit with your lifestyle. Finding new activities to replace food activities centered around food can ultimately help you lose 10 – 12 pounds this year!
Here are 10 easy and healthy resolutions you can keep:
1. Drink more water! Find a fun, new water bottle and start drinking eight glasses of water a day.
2. Limit the amount of sweet treats you eat per week.
3. Try volunteering one hour a week.
4. Take a walk after dinner each night.
5. Limit your use of social media to one hour a day.
6. Read a book once a month.
7. Try a different recipe a few times a month, you may find a new favorite dish!
8. Try meal prepping to save time.
9. Limit soda and coffee intake to one per day.
10. Start a tradition of family game or movie night once a week or once a month.
Staying On Track During The Holidays/0 Comments/in Solutions for Weight Loss, Weight Loss Tips /by Christy Kirkendol Watson, M.D.
The turkey is waving its drumsticks at you and the gravy and mashed potatoes and pies and homemade rolls are enticing you to eat them. Yes, it's the holiday season and all your favorite foods are teasing you.
Well, it is okay to eat them all but the trick is to eat in moderation and start with a smaller plate. Fill your plate with protein foods first and then two tablespoons of carbohydrate based side. By doing this, you will fill up faster.
Slow down and savor each scrumptious mouthful with the company of your family and friends. If you're going to consume a high amount of carbs during a meal, simply eat fewer carbs during the days before and after. Eating is a social function as well as needed sustenance. We often must relearn our lifelong eating habits. Allow your brain time to catch up with your stomach rumblings.
And watch the drinks for added calories. LiveLight encourages you to embrace the festive times of your life without guilt, just watch the quantity and you will stay on track with your weight loss goals.
It's going to be a beautiful day, so take a walk with your family. Save the turkey and ham to enjoy as leftovers for next week.
Happy Thanksgiving!

10 Summertime Healthy Snack Recipes for Kids/0 Comments/in Food & Nutrition, Solutions for Weight Loss, Weight Loss Tips /by Dina Palmer, M.S., PA-C
By-pass the junk food isle this summer & serve your family healthy snacks. Check out my top 10 favorite healthy snack recipes – perfect summertime & kid-friendly!
- Homemade fruit pops
Buy a popsicle mold, sold at most stores. Chose any fresh or frozen fruit, single fruit or a combination. Blend the fruit in a blender, with a little bit of water, so it is a smooth puree. Pour into molds and serve to all the neighborhood kids. Unlike those sold in stores, there's no added sugars – plus they're super easy to make!
- Peanut Butter yogurt dip
Combine 2-3 TB natural (2 ingredients or less) Peanut Butter with 1/3 cup Plain Yogurt or Plain Greek Yogurt. Whip by hand until it is light and fluffy and the taste is consistent. Serve to kids with apples, celery, or strawberries.
- Homemade applesauce
Cut up apples, don't peel them and steam or boil them for 8-10 minutes. Throw into a blender and feel free to add a little cinnamon. Blend until it looks like applesauce. Chill. Serve it to kids in fancy little cups or containers, such as small ice cream cups. Having a fun presentation of food to kids, increases the possibility that they will try it.
- Fruit skewers
Use small sizes skewers and cut up various fruits to put on them. A great item to serve at a summertime party.
- Dried fruit
If buying from the store, just make sure there is no sugar listed in the ingredients.
- Nuts
Keep a small basket with 15-20 nuts, in a small baggie, that kids can quickly grab as a snack. Put fun stickers (bought at the dollar store) to make the presentation even more fun.
- Fruit
Studies show that keeping fruit out in a very noticeable spot in the kitchen makes kids way more likely to eat it.
- Energy bars or bites: (there are many various recipes for these online)
Combine 9 dates and ½ cup cashews in a food processor and blend. Then form into balls or bites or bars.
Other variations use: whole grains, other nuts/seeds, wheat germ, flax seeds, and others. You can even add raising or cranberries, as long as there is no added sugar in any of the ingredients.
- Frozen fruit and yogurt:
Use plain Greek or normal yogurt. You can mix some pumpkins spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg into the yogurt first. Either dip individual grapes into yogurt and freeze. Or add yogurt into the inside of raspberries and freeze.
- Homemade parfaits: (my son's favorite!)
Use plain yogurt. Make it fun by serving it in a cute cup or bowl.
Top with any berries you have and either homemade or low sugar store bought (we like Bare Naked brand) granola, and nuts if possible. Great for adults too and a lot less sugar than buying these at the store.
Excess Sugar and Weight Gain in America/0 Comments/in Food & Nutrition, Solutions for Weight Loss, Weight Loss Tips /by Dina Palmer, M.S., PA-C
The consequences of excess sugar on your health
Picture this. Your favorite TV show is on. You've got a sweet tooth. You reach into the cupboard, grab the bag of sugar and a teaspoon, venture back to the couch, and dig in. After 22 excessively sweet teaspoons, you stop. Sound yummy? Probably makes your stomach hurt thinking about it.
Did you know that the average American consumes 22 tsps (88g) per day? That translates to an extra 350 calories per day! Tons of simple sugars are added into our foods and drinks to help with taste or texture of the food. You're probably consuming more sugar than you thought possible and the health consequences are dangerous. Can you even imagine sitting down and eating 22 teaspoons of sugar?
Understanding Sugars
Sugar is a carbohydrate. There are good or naturally found sugars in fruits, vegetables, dairy, and whole grains – typically called complex carbohydrates. These are not dangerous to our health when consumed in a balanced diet. The bad sugars added to foods are simple carbohydrates, which are detrimental to our health.
How to spot the added sugars? Easy – check the ingredients. Words that end in "ose" are sugar. Sweeteners that contain simple sugar include, high fructose corn syrup, corn sweeteners, honey, molasses, and fruit juice concentrate.
Weight Loss Tip:
Try to avoid foods with added sugar – especially if sugar is one of the top 3 ingredients.
Daily Sugar Intake
The less added sugar we eat, the better. In the perfect world – you shouldn't eat any added sugar.
The maximum daily amounts of added sugar you should consume
|9 tsp
|36 g
|6 tsp
|3-4 tsp
1 teaspoon equals 4.2 grams of sugar.
Stay away from sugary drinks and cereals. They're the most common sources of excess sugar. In fact sugary beverages are quickly becoming the #1 cause for weight gain in America.
The Dangers of Overconsumption
There are no health benefits to the extra sugar. Added sugar is empty calories, with absolutely no nutrition. Eating or drinking added sugar increases hunger and causes carb/sugar addiction. Studies have link excess sugar intake to the following health risks:
|Health Risks in Adults
|Health Risks in Children
|Attention problems
|Heart diseases
|Increased weight
|Kidney disease
|Tooth decay
|Some cancers
|Tooth decay
Hidden sugar in the American diet is a major culprit behind weight struggles. To avoid excess sugar in your diet, read the nutritional labels and then keep track of your daily intake with a food journal. You'll probably be surprised at how much sugar you've unknowingly been consuming.
How to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain – 4 Tips/0 Comments/in Lifestyle & Exercise, Solutions for Weight Loss, Weight Loss Tips /by Christy Kirkendol Watson, M.D.
Enjoy The Holidays Without Diet Sabotage
"How am I going to enjoy the holidays and not gain weight?" is the most common question I hear from my patients during this time of year. I get it. The holidays are synonymous with office pitch-ins, sugar cookies and family gatherings. But enjoying them doesn't mean you have to derail your diet. Here's a 4 simple tips to keep your diet on track and avoid holiday weight gain.
1. Stop thinking about your diet as ALL orNONE
Everyone has a tendency to think it's all or none while dieting – that if you "cheat" on the holiday you'll blow your diet. The weight loss reality – it's not true. You don't gain or lose weight based on one day. It's your average weekly intake that will determine whether or not we lose weight that week.
Focus on the total weekly calories – not one day.
To lose 1 lbs a week, the average person needs to consume 3,500 less calories per week. If one day you consume 500 extra calories but cut 500 out every other day, you're still at 2,500 calorie deficit for the week. It will take 9 days instead of 7 days to reach the one pound weight loss. You're still winning.
2. Allow for Food Indulgences but Track it & Factor it.
Give yourself one or two days that you're going to allow yourself a little bit of indulgence. Don't deprive yourself. If we tell our brain we can't have something at all, we obsess over it and end up over-indulging more. Instead, allow yourself a small portion of that food, so you can stop thinking about it. But be aware of overall calories. Have one cookie at the office party – but just don't nibble on numerous sweets all week. Use your food journal to track it and factor it. Reduce calories and carbohydrates on other days other days to make up for the cookie or pumpkin pie. Add in more rigorous activity. Just don't beat yourself up.
3. Stress & Overeating
Control your stress. Easier said then done, right? We all tend to overfill our lives with commitments during the holidays. Don't be afraid to say no. The less stress you have, the less likely you are to stress eat and to continue in your normal routine and organization.
4. Surviving Holiday Dinners & Office Pitch-Ins
- Make the most of protein. Use a smaller plate. Fill it mostly with protein and try just a tablespoon of the side items (typically loaded with carbs). Eat the Turkey first, slowly. Protein fills you up faster so you'll be less likely to overload on the carbohydrates. Protein is also an appetite suppressant so you'll be less hungry later and less likely to consume extra calories with the leftovers.
- Ditch the casseroles. Serve broccoli with cheese or regular green beans. Casseroles tend to add lots of hidden carbs to your meal. Simplifying your dishes – saves time and calories!
- Make & Take dishes with lower carb substitutions. There are tons of lower carb recipes out there – just start googling! Our very own patient, Michelle shares a some on our blog including Mashed Potatoes and Macaroni & Cheese! See them now.
Simply add in a little bit extra holiday exercise and all of the sudden things are looking so derailed. You'll see the holidays aren't synonymous with weight gain. And not only you won't gain weight but you can go into the New Year a couple pounds lighter.
4 Keys Facts About Weight Loss Smoothies/0 Comments/in Food & Nutrition, Solutions for Weight Loss, Supplements for Weight Loss, Weight Loss Tips /by Christy Kirkendol Watson, M.D.
Clients and friends ask me all the time for recommendations on weight loss smoothies. Running from work to soccer practices to piano lessons – you think I'll just skip dinner and grab a smoothie. You're busy, and you want something quick and healthy – I get it.
Before you reach for a diet smoothie or juicing quick fix, make sure to review these 4 key facts about weight loss smoothies and juicing to help you achieve your weight loss goals – the right way.
1. Check the label for protein
Your body needs protein. Our society is on carbohydrate overload. Only smoothies or weight loss shakes that contain adequate levels of protein will help you lose weight and sustain weight loss.
If you're consuming one or more a day without adequate levels of protein, your body will start to break down your own muscle to get protein causing muscle wasting, which ultimately lowers metabolism. If you do this for a a month or longer, you may cause a significant reduction in your metabolism. And then to maintain and lose weight – you'll have actually have to start eating less.
2. A smoothie is not synonymous with healthy
A smoothie could be filled with sugar, but because it says "smoothie" many people think its healthy, just like they do with cereal, oatmeal, etc. Unless you know the actual ingredients and in what amounts, it certainly shouldn't be mistaken for healthy because it probably isn't.
3. Juicing decreases nutrients, especially fiber
The juicing mechanism removes parts of the fruits and veggies, often containing rich nutrients and fiber. You many think you're consuming more nutrients by juicing, but you may actually be getting less. Eating whole fruits and vegetables preserves all the nutrients.
4. Uncharted territory – limited rules
There are few rules on what is in them or what determines "weight loss". You need to check the ingredients and find out what's in them. Are they really going to help you achieve weight loss – the right way? Probably not. Similarly – a lot of food labels may say "protein bar" or "protein shake" but the amount of protein they actually have varies. And they can be laden with all kinds of sugar.
How to improve smoothies or juicing? The answer is simple-add protein and cut the sugar! By adding protein and limiting sugar you give your body a more balanced, mixed nutrition that can turn smoothies into a healthy snack or meal replacement. (a healthy carb and a protein together is much better for your body).
Protein sources for smoothies
- Whey protein powders
- Milk (almond, cow, soy)
- Greek yogurt
- Peanut butter (natural is best)
- Quinoa
While a smoothie may seem like a good healthy option – make sure it fits into you overall weight loss plan. Ideally, one that has been customized for your body and your weight loss needs. There is no quick fix to achieve and maintain your weight – it's about making healthy choices and learning what to eat and how much.

Last night we had the very strange event of having just one boy at home - Hugo. Archie had the wonderful opportunity to stay the night with his grandparents followed by a trip to the Anzac Dawn Service wearing his great grandfather's medals. And so, Hugo revelled in sole attention from his parents.
I always find that one on one time is a special thing and I love it when the boys have the chance to do something different from each other. Hugo celebrated his early morning by watching all the cartoons he is not usually allowed to. I came downstairs and found him a little chilled - it's always such a lovely thing to swaddle a little child in crocheted blankets.
Hugo then spent the morning (wearing pyjamas), decorating plates with ceramic markers.
I loved the designs he came up with and could easily order a dinner set if he had the patience... which unfortunately he doesn't - it's almost as though he is a six year old or something....
So cute!!!!
Apparently this one is to put my tea cup on.... or pour tea onto and drink from it - either way....
Lots of love,
Kate xxooxxooxx.

According to some estimates, the US is likely to emerge as one of the major LNG exporters by 2020. However, it appears that Washington is seeking to use its liquefied hydrocarbons as an economic weapon in the fight with its geopolitical rivals, Russia and China.
Washington has weaponized its liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies to kill two birds with one stone — expel Russia from the European energy market and win a "trade war" with China.
Following the 2014 February coup in Ukraine and Crimea's reunification with Russia, the administration of Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, called upon the EU member states to cut their reliance on Russian gas, citing "security" reasons.
Speaking at the March 2014 EU-US Summit in Brussels, Obama urged the US' European allies to hurry up with the conclusion of the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), offering US liquefied natural gas (LNG) in exchange.
"Once we have a trade agreement in place, export licenses for projects for liquefied natural gas destined to Europe would be much easier, something that is obviously relevant in today's geopolitical environment," Obama said in response to then-European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso's appeal to step up US gas exports.
Viewing US LNG as a potential tool in the competition for the EU energy market, Washington focused on developing LNG plants on its territory.
The country started exporting its liquefied hydrocarbons from the lower 48 states on a broad scale after the Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana became operational in February 2016.
According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the US five additional LNG projects "are expected to increase total US liquefaction capacity to 9.6 Bcf/d by the end of 2019."
In October 2017 the Institute for Energy Research (IER) predicted that the US will soon emerge as the major LNG exporter: "Between 2016 and 2020, the United States is expected to account for about half of the 20 billion cubic feet per day of new LNG export capacity worldwide," the IER's study said, adding that "worldwide LNG demand is now around 37 billion cubic feet per day."
Does it automatically mean that the US LNG is likely to come out on top in the European market anytime soon?
The US LNG supplies to Europe stand nowhere near those of Gazprom: the Russian gas giant delivered a total of 194.4 billion cubic meters of gas to European countries in 2017, according to the Gazprom Export website, versus around 72.9 billion cubic feet (2.26 billion cubic meters) of LNG supplied by the US to the Old Continent (Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the UK), as EIA estimates.
Launch of second section of Nord Stream gas pipeline
For comparison's sake, while in 2017 America transferred 3.4 billion cubic feet (0.097 billion cubic meters) of natural gas to Poland, a vocal antagonist of the Gazprom-led Nord Stream 2 project, Russia provided Warsaw with 10.47 billion cubic meters of hydrocarbons.
The reason behind this disproportion is crystal clear: The price for the US LNG for Europe is about $1-2 above northwestern European benchmark gas prices, Oilprice.com pointed out last June.
The media outlet further specified that Russia's Gazprom is not America's only competitor in the EU energy market — in case the Russian gas producer is expelled from Europe, the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline may replace it and deliver Caspian gas to the Old Continent; meanwhile Qatar still remains the world's largest LNG exporter.
Donald Trump: Anti-Russian Sanctions and Pivot to China
Donald Trump's ascendancy to the presidency was marked by the toughened sanctions regime on Russia, Iran and North Korea which was signed into law on August 2, 2017. The new round of sanctions imposed over Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 US presidential election and collusion with Trump, which the latter has vehemently rejected, potentially targeted EU firms involved in the $11 billion-Nord Stream 2 gas project.
Earlier, Germany and Austria, the two countries participating in the Gazprom-led initiative to build a pipeline system through the Baltic Sea, lambasted US policymakers seeking the United States' own vested interest in exporting gas to Europe.
"Europe's energy supply is a matter for Europe, and not for the United States of America," Germany's Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel and Austria's Federal Chancellor Christian Kern said in a joint statement.
For his part, Gazprom Deputy Chief Executive Officer Alexander Medvedev stated: "As far as the implementation of the sanctions is concerned, they don't conceal that this is aimed at ensuring American LNG to Europe."
However, following the imposition of sanctions, Gazprom signaled that it will fulfill its obligations no matter what: "According to preliminary estimates, this does not diminish the possibility for Gazprom to borrow abroad," Alexander Ivannikov, a Gazprom official, noted, highlighting that the legislation could be broadly interpreted.
Gazprom Chairman of the Board Alexei Miller visits the ETERNO shop of the Chelyabinsk Pipe-Rolling Plant
Regardless of the efforts of the US' Eastern and Central European allies to throw sand in the gears of Nord Stream 2, Berlin continues to push ahead with the project: On March 27 Nord Stream 2 AG received the full set of permits in Germany for construction and operation of the pipeline system.
Earlier, in January 2018 international observers were caught by surprise when the first batch of Russia's own LNG produced by the Yamal LNG plant arrived in the US city of Boston, carried by a tanker of France's Engie company, despite the US sanctions regime. They were even more surprised when the second shipment of Russian LNG reached American shores.
Given all the above, it is hardly surprising that Trump decided to turn to the East, reinforcing Washington's pivot to China.
According to IER, Chinese natural gas demand could reach 330 billion cubic meters (11.65 trillion cubic feet) in 2020.
Right now Mexico, South Korea and China remain the major destinations for US hydrocarbons, receiving about 53 percent of US LNG exports. European countries collectively account for the only third-largest share of US LNG exports after Asia and North America (Mexico), according to EIA.
It appears that President Trump and Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross decided to use US LNG exports as a tool in a looming trade war with Beijing.
Since Trump assumed the presidency, the two countries have been involved in a dispute over the US-China trade deficit, which rose to $375.2 billion in 2017. Having imposed additional tariffs on steel and aluminum exports, the White House announced its plan to impose tariffs on up to $60 billion worth of Chinese imports.
In addition, Secretary Ross addressed the Chinese last week claiming that the best way for Beijing to reduce its trade gap with the US is to buy more American LNG.
"China needs to import very, very large amounts of LNG and from their point it would be very logical to import more of it from us, if for no reason other than to diversify their sources of supply. It would also have the side effect of reducing the deficit," Ross stressed as cited by Bloomberg.
China has become the second after Europe to receive an ultimatum from Washington to buy US hydrocarbons in exchange for improved relations. However, it seems that following the EU example, Beijing will not sacrifice its national interests and would rather rely on the Sino-Russian Power of Siberia gas pipeline, which is due to become operational in December 2019, than on US LNG supplies to ensure its energy security.
Power of Siberia pipeline
CIA and Soviet Gas Pipeline 'Threat'
Russian natural gas resources have long been a thorn in the US side. Several decades ago, in 1982, the CIA's special national estimate called "The Soviet Gas Pipeline in Perspective" predicted that the USSR would increase its gas exports to the West in the near future.
"By far the most promising potential for export expansion is in the massive resources of West Siberian natural gas," the paper said. "Proved reserves of Siberian gas are ample to cover any likely increase in total energy consumption in the USSR during the 1980s and 1990s as well as a large expansion in gas exports to the West."
According to the document, the USSR had started delivering its natural gas to Western Europe beginning in the early 1970: "Between 1968 and 1975 Moscow concluded eight 'gas for pipe' agreements with Austria, France, Italy, and West Germany." Some of the contracts envisaged gas deliveries by the Soviet Union up to the year 2000.
Trying to hinder the construction of the Soviet gas pipeline to supply Western Europe, the Reagan administration imposed an embargo on American goods and technologies which could facilitate the completion of the project. However, the move prompted a split between the US and its European NATO allies, which led to the lifting of sanctions on November 13, 1982.
However, citing a new memoir by a Reagan White House official, Thomas C. Reed, The Washington Post wrote in 2004 that the Reagan administration did not give up its plans to sabotage the Siberian gas route and ordered the CIA in January 1982 to provide the Russians with the technology that contained hidden malfunctions. According to Reed, the alleged operation resulted in a huge explosion in the Siberian pipeline.
Decades later, the US has dug up the hatchet of the gas war with Russia.

Disclaimer-Captain DIY and DIYtoFI.blog highly recommend exercising extreme caution when attempting DIY projects. Not everybody can do everything, and some things should only be done by professionals. Keep your digits attached, and keep the insurance company off of your back. Do it right or call the right people!
Lifetime Warrantee Versus Up-Front Cost
When your dear friend the Captain was making his way through trade school, there was one instructor who liked to emphasize a particular lesson: buy the higher quality tool now, and don't bother with any "lifetime warrantee" business.
Over the course of my career I have owned many tools, and I can offer my opinion on the tools every homeowner needs based on experience with both crappy tools and those made for the elite professional.
What is a Lifetime Warrantee
Some stores will offer you full replacement of their product for the life of the product, and this doesn't necessarily mean the product is no good. In fact, in many cases it indicates high quality, as the company stands to lose a lot of money if they have to keep giving away new products for free.
Rigid is a good example of this. Last I knew, they would replace any of their tools that broke under normal use for free, no matter the age of the tool, and without proof of purchase. They have a reputation for quality, and it is not very often that a replacement is needed.
On the other hand, a lifetime warrantee can be used as a ploy to lure in unsuspecting consumers who don't realize that they are buying an inferior tool. Often these are marketed toward homeowner DIYers who will not be putting those tools through any real intense work, and therefore the lower quality tools will hold up long enough for the warrantee to be forgotten.
I will not be naming any examples, as I don't wish to experience litigation.
The Real Scoop
When I decide to replace a tool, or add to the collection based on need, I will almost always go for the higher quality tool, regardless of loss of savings. As both a professional electrician and a homeowner DIYer, I recognize the importance of quality for several reasons:
- A higher quality tool usually means better performance, resulting in a more satisfactory work experience
- Having to exercise the lifetime warrantee in the middle of a project, well, plain old sucks
- The piece of mind I get knowing my tools are at least near the top of the line lets me engage in my work without worrying if the tool can handle the abuse
Take it From the Pros
I have worked closely with high-level professionals from a lot of different trades, and they have been nearly unanimous in their agreement with my instructor's policy from above. The pros know that if they spend a little extra and buy the better quality tool, it will end up being the right decision.
As a DIYer, you may not expect to put the same kind of strain on your equipment as people who have their tools in hand forty or more hours per week. That doesn't mean that your tools won't be experiencing strain, however, and you don't want to have to run to the hardware store for a new screwdriver in the middle of a window replacement project. Especially the you're doing it in less than agreeable weather.
I don't experience a whole lot of advertising, but I have noticed that the brands of tools I prefer tend not to advertise much. I'm guessing they base their lack of need to tell people who they are on having a well-known reputation among those who know best. If the best workers are using your tool, it's probably because your tool is the best.
Is it Really That Important?
That, of course, is a question based on personal need. If you plan on doing this one little project as a test to see if you really want to get into DIY, maybe you don't need to run out and spend a bunch of money on top-of-the-line tools. In that case, I'd suggest asking a friend if you can borrow what you need.
Another thing to remember is that your tools are only as good as the hands holding them. If you are not feeling confident or comfortable holding these tools, don't invest in expensive tools hoping that they will increase your performance. I can go out and buy the best running shoes in the world, but that doesn't mean you'll see me in the next Olympics.
In conclusion, you need to think about what kind of a DIYer you think you'll be, and if you feel like this may eventually turn into a side hustle. Whatever you do, don't fall for any marketing traps, and only buy based on actual need. You're not looking to impress the neighbors, you're trying to get a job done. Now go out there and be awesome!

On 27 November, the Government released its white paper "Industrial Strategy: building a Britain fit for the future". This set the ambitious aim of having fully autonomous cars, without any human operator, on Britain's roads by 2021.
The Government promised to make "world-leading changes to the regulatory framework, including…to allow developers to apply to test their vehicles nationwide without a human safety operator". It also stated it was working with the Law Commission on "a long-term regulatory framework for self-driving vehicles".
In common with the white paper generally, there were few specifics as to how this would be put into practice. If we truly are to see cars driving themselves on our roads in 2021, there a huge amount of legal and regulatory groundwork will have to be undertaken. And the Government already has a lot of that on its plate with Brexit.

Warning: Contains Spoilers!
Unnatural things walked under the stars and spread fear over the earth.
Aufwader's Thoughts: Now Audrey takes her first steps upon the path set out for her, desperation fuelling her to leave comfortable home and hearth. In the time-honoured tradition of heroic tales, she gives up something precious in exchange for information from an untrustworthy source, and so the wheels of her fate begin to turn.
This is a chapter which I still remember from the cassette version; the shadowy, furtive fortune-telling scene with Madame Akkikuyu had great atmosphere, despite that her accent was not exactly true to the book's descriptions. I can recall my young indignation that Audrey had to forfeit the tail-bells which Twit had given her in such good faith, but the fact that Audrey is willing to believe that the likes of Akkikuyu can help her at all really shows her desperation.
Madame Akkikuyu is definitely one of those characters through which you can clearly see Robin's background in model-making. With her tattooed ear, polka-dot shawl, and toy marble masquerading as a crystal ball, she is a perfect stop-motion specimen. It's easy to imagine her eye-watering perfume and the filth under her long, chipped claws, and certainly in this chapter's illustration she presents a bold contrast to Audrey's frilly femininity.
Carrying on from the Chamber of Winter scene last chapter, there is foreshadowing aplenty in Audrey and Akkikuyu's introductory conversation, as well as in the vision which follows. We are still in the early chapters, however, and the dread and doom are balanced with the occasional humorous moment. One that always make me chortle (and which is also a scathingly accurate summation of Madame Akkikuyu's character) is when she admits that while her potions make her gullible patrons strong and happy, those spurious concoctions also 'make them a little bit dead sometimes too.'
Matt's Thoughts: Ah, Madame Akkikuyu! I don't think I quite appreciated where Morocco was when I was younger, and so I always imagined her as having a vaguely exotic accent but I wasn't sure exactly what it sounded like. And so, to make sure I get this correct in my head, and in case you find yourself reading this book out loud to little people, here is a YouTube of a how to speak in a Moroccan accent for reference.
This chapter is a great example of Mr Jarvis' cinematic writing. Swirling colours in a crystal ball, flickering flames. It all reminds me of 80s animation, even though I couldn't point to any one particular film. But a great example is this scene from The Secret of NIMH.
Also, pay close attention to Akkikuyu's vision. Like another prophecy we'll encounter in a few chapters, it foreshadows not just this book but the entire trilogy.
Finally, Piccadilly and Audrey meet for the first time, and it sets up two ideas: 1) Audrey's denial about her father being dead. (Which, hey, I totally get.) And 2) Piccadilly's crisis of faith. These may seem more mainstream now, but in 1989, there were few books aimed at kids with this much darkness, spiritual crisis and trauma going on. (And Robin hasn't even started. He's just cracking his knuckles in readiness for the real unpleasantness!)

The brand new single from Jessica Lynn's upcoming debut studio EP.
((Verse 1))
Today I found out my man had one on the side
I knew that all my fears that kept me up at night were true, look at you.
Thought that you were clever, thought you'd double dip,
For that you need some brains my man and you got gypped, it's true, look at you.
You ain't got nothing if you don't got me
So good luck baby you are gonna see
That I was the best you'd ever meet
So take a good look as you watch me leave.
I'm not your woman, I'm not your toy
I'm not someone you run around on then come back to little boy.
I'm not angry, not even sad.
I'm just glad I know by now that you are nothin' more than bad.
I'm through, I'm done, ain't no more I can say except
It's too late now, just get outta my way, hey hey hey.

I'm sick of all your phone calls, all your mail, that gift,

Trying to make up for everything you've done, you should have thought of that before you had your fun, it's true. Boo hoo.
And it just feels so good that...
