Dear Blacked-Out Self: We Can't Hang Out This Weekend
Hey you,
Yeah, I'm talking to you. I see you sitting there on Gchat at 3 pm, trying to figure out your plans for the night, deciding whom you are going to pregame with and what bar you will be heading to. You had a stressful work week, per usual, so obviously the only way you want to unwind is by getting sh*tfaced. But let's think for a moment, is that really what you want to be doing?
Don't you have errands to catch up on that you don't want to be hungover for? Don't you want to hit the gym since you skipped your workout on Wednesday? You know there's no way in hell you are making it to the gym in your hungover state, especially since your at-home remedy involves you getting high.
And to those people who claim they like working out stoned, you are damn liars and fools. I tried it once and let's just say that the #FitFam doesn't appreciate when you roll around on the ab mat laughing at yourself because you are having flashbacks from the night before.
Why do you even like drinking so much? I mean, it doesn't even make sense. You go out to have a good time and come the next day, you don't even know what went down. So how do you know you even had fun? Oh because you drunkenly uploaded four pictures to Instagram to help remind you, #basic.
How are you having fun if you can't even remember the night? This is a question Millennials have been asking and ignoring for years, opting to choose blacking out over a memorable night. Let's break down what happens when you are partying in a blacked-out state:
1) You see that you sent Snapchats to people you definitely shouldn't have, but, unfortunately, cannot for the life of you remember what these photos consisted of.
2) You order a ton of unnecessary food you shouldn't be eating because diets don't exist when you're wasted. Although, if you throw out the evidence before you wake up, did it ever really happen?
3) You post a picture of you with your friends and all of your eyes are closed. You top this off with a ridiculous caption absolutely no one understands except the people in the photo. Newsflash: It wasn't that funny when it was happening, so when other people see it, it's even less funny.
4) You probably texted or called someone you shouldn't have... seven times...
Do any of the four above scenarios really sound like something you want to deal with, especially when you are hungover? Absolutely not; why would people be willing to put themselves through any of these things?
So after my harsh lecture, are you going to listen to me when you go out tonight? Will you only have one drink or will you ignore my great advice and plow through endless tequila shots that land you with your head in the toilet like that "one" time in Mexico?
If you aren't going to heed my warning, at least make sure you stock up on the hangover essentials before you depart for your evening. Advil on deck, a packed bowl on your night table, three blue Gatorade bottles in the fridge and a breakfast spot already in mind.
Also: Try your hardest to plug in your phone when you get home because waking up to a 17 percent battery when you have sh*t to get done the next day is the worst. That is just another anxiety you most definitely do not need.
I wish you luck on your endeavor, Ashley, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
Your Sober (And Smarter) Self

'Veruca Salt: Scrumdidilyumpstious' or 'I Wanted Her Then, Daddy!'
Monday, April 05, 2004
The Sydney heats of the 2004 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Raw Comedy Competition came to an end March 31, and while I feel I should provide some kind of 'review' of the final (or at least, a review of what of the final stood out enough that I may remember it nearly a week down the track) I would much rather convey the joy that was the first semi, which took place two days earlier. I can't for the life of me remember much about the contestants (apart from the ones who made it through to the final – and only then because I got to see them again so soon afterwards), but the evening's jollity began with a call from Andrew Taylor of Access Entertainment, the company that in addition to managing many great acts, runs the Sydney competition.
"Guess who the guest judge is for tonight," Andrew began. I couldn't, so he told me. "Julie Dawn Cole." I suppose this was a kind of test, and I failed. I couldn't get excited until I was told that Julie Dawn Cole had appeared in the cinematic classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in the role of Veruca Salt. Then boy, did I get excited.
"She doesn't mind talking about the film," Andrew continued, "but she hates being referred to as 'Veruca Salt'." He advised that I should probably behave myself and not say anything stupid.
"Can I do my Roy Kinnear impression?" I asked, demonstrating it for him with the kind of expertise that, I dare say, would have fooled Kinnear himself, were he still alive to hear me do it: "Ve-RU-ca!"
"No, you can't do your Roy Kinnear impression."
"What about my Veruca Salt impression?" In perfect 'Veruca Salt' voice: "I want it now, Daddy!"
"No, don't do your Veruca Salt impression."
It turns out that Julie Dawn Cole is out here to appear in stand-up comic Matthew Hardy's live show Willy Wonka Explained [The Veruca Salt Sessions]. It's about his lifelong infatuation with Veruca Salt and the actress who played her. He approached Cole out of the blue and, amazingly, Cole said yes. If she has a history being contacted by weird guys who grew up infatuated with that saucy pouting princess (a kind of Hayley Mills gone bad), I'd love to know the vetting process she uses that enabled her to realise that Hardy was the safer, saner variety of the archtype.
The show apparently opens with both Hardy and Cole on their respective analyst's couches. Hardy is in therapy because he never got over his infatuation with Veruca Salt. Cole is in therapy because she never got over playing the character.
Although I convinced myself that I would behave throughout the evening, by the first interval Julie had her script out and was telling us about what a lovely time she was having after accepting a questionable job offer on a whim. But it was all kind of fitting: Cole landed the role in Willy Wonka – her first acting job – after a mere few weeks at drama school. She had plenty of fantastic stories and shared them with little prompting.
Like the time she was told she wouldn't be needed for the next little while, and encouraged to sit on her own on another set, away from the cast and crew. Suddenly a production manager-type flew in telling her that director Mel Stuart needed her immediately and was furious that she wasn't on-hand. It's been said that Stuart could be a bit frightening on set – so much so that Peter Ostrum, starring as principal character Charlie Bucket, allegedly turned down a subsequent five film deal as a result of his experience (although, now a practicing vet, Ostrum claims the experience was fun, but not what he wanted to do for a living). Swallowing whatever fear she had of facing the director, Cole hurried to join the rest of the cast before him, where she discovered a birthday cake. Julie had just turned thirteen.
"It was a chocolate cake, and I don't like chocolate," Julie confessed. "Imagine being a kid in a film that's set in a chocolate factory, and not liking chocolate." She has fond memories of her birthday, and fantastic photos: although it was customary for stills to be taken in black and white at the time, Gene Wilder, who played the lead role of Willy Wonka, organised colour photographs to be taken of that occasion.
Not all of Julie's memories are as pleasant. There was the meeting during which she was scrutinised intently and spoken of in third person while the powers-that-be decided whether or not her newly developing bust required taping down for the sake of continuity.
Julie's sweetest story is of her reunion with Gene Wilder a few years ago. He was appearing on stage in England and Cole left Wilder a message requesting a catch-up after a performance. Assured that Wilder never met people backstage after a show – "He has left the theatre before the patrons have begun filing out," a stage manager assured her – Julie was pleased to discover that Gene Wilder would receive her backstage. Recalling her character's exit from the film – trying to intercept the golden egg that she wants "now, Daddy!" Veruca lands on the apparatus that determines the value of the eggs, receives a poor rating and is duly disposed of – Wilder took a step back and acknowledged that Julie "hadn't turned out to be a bad egg" after all.
Hopefully Willy Wonka Explained [The Veruca Salt Sessions] will do so well that Matthew Hardy and Julie Dawn Cole can take the show on the road. In the meantime, I'm trying to land some interview time with Julie for ABC NewsRadio and FilmInk.
However, before moving on from this topic, I want to briefly consider the name 'Willy Wonker'. As a character name in English children's literature, Roald Dahl's creation is up there with Dick and Fanny, who appeared in Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree. It is only one vowel away from being the sort of a character in a Carry On film that would well and truly have Kenneth Williams 'oooo-errrring'. However, I assume the name was derived from the slang term 'wonk' which means about the same thing as 'swot' – a boring person who studies too hard and is too caught up with facts and figures to have a life or a personality. Willy Wonka, embodying the traditional eccentric English boffin archetype, is imbued with some of the 'wonk' characteristics: a genius who knows all there is to know about his work and more besides. When he first meets Veruca, for instance, he absent-mindedly asks himself if she doesn't share her name with a kind of wart that grows on the sole of the foot [a 'verruca' is in fact " a firm abnormal elevated blemish on the skin caused by a virus"].
I recall a time during the earlier stages of the Clinton administration (actually, during his 1992 presidential campaign) when Bill Clinton was described as a 'policy wonk' because he was a politician who could "spout data and statistics nonstop, a man with a quick answer for every question." Isn't it a pity that nobody had the brainwave to write a piece on this and name the article, and the presidential candidate, 'Willy Wonker', or, at the very least, 'Billy Wonker'. Then his political campaign could have involved voters holding the 'Bill Clinton How To Vote' pamphlet, with the box next to Billy Wonker ticked, singing, 'I've got golden ticket…' Clinton could have done a television spot likening the USA under the Republicans as a paddle steamer that had lost its way, insanely intoning the words, "there's no earthly way of knowing… which way the river's flowing…" Of course, this would have proven damaging in the long run: it wouldn't have taken the Republicans long to liken Clinton to 'The Candy Man', even if he never did inhale.
Amongst her souvenirs, Julie Dawn Cole has retained a golden egg, two golden tickets and an everlasting gobstopper, not to mention a multitude of fans that share comedian Matthew Hardy's obsession for the first character she ever portrayed on screen.

Mike Martin holds final practice at Dick Howser Stadium as Noles prepare for College World Series
June 11, 2019
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- Throughout the entirety of the 2019 Florida State baseball season, it's been thrown around that this is the end of an era, for the program and, of course, for retiring head coach Mike Martin.
But, due to the unexpected ups and downs of the year, so many milestones have seemed finite and and concrete, but Tuesday was most certainly one of those.
On Tuesday, Martin held his final ever practice as skipper on the field that bears his name as the team's next practice will be in Omaha, Nebraska ahead of the Tribe's tilt with Arkansas in the College World Series.
"I guess driving over here today, I got to thinking that this will be the last
practice that I'll have at Florida State," Martin said. "It's been a great ride. I'm excited for our young men because they've earned what they're getting ready to do tomorrow and that's get on that plane and go to Omaha."
FSU and Arkansas will face off at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Thoughtful Thursday: Wind
September 15, 2011
The last time the wind got knocked out of someone in this house, an infant Burrito kicked the nanny in the stomach during a diaper change.
The last time the wind literally got knocked out of me, I was 7 years old in gymnastics class.
The last time the wind figuratively got knocked out of me, I was in the car, last week.
About a mile and a half from my house, there is a retirement home. I very rarely drive in that direction, so in 5 years I've probably passed it only half a dozen times. Aside from driving by, the only time I've ever heard it mentioned was last year, when the town parents' group was organizing the children to visit the home for Halloween in their costumes to amuse the residents. I didn't bring Burrito and Tamale, mainly because it seemed wrong that my mother should be in a similar assisted living facility thousands of miles away but that Burrito and Tamale would be oohed and aahed at in their costumes by other kids' grandparents but not her.
Sometime between last Halloween and now, the home, which was formerly independent, was bought by a national chain of assisted living facilities. The same chain that owned the facility where my mother spent most of the last year of her life.
I didn't know this until I drove by last week, when Burrito and Tamale started daycare on that side of town. When I saw the new sign with its too-familiar name, its too-familiar font, its too-familiar color scheme, I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. The wind got knocked out of me.
I will be driving by several times a week now, so I suppose I'll have to get used to it. So far, the punches haven't been as hard and the wind is no longer being totally knocked out of me, but I'm torn between averting my eyes and stopping the car to stare at the sign.
I have no idea if I'll bring them there for the Halloween parade this year.
When was the last time the wind got knocked out of you, literally or figuratively?

The only times I can think of are all the pregnancy announcements from friends while we were TTC – especially when it was their second pregnancy and we still had none.
I can remember exactly when DD2 got the wind knocked out of her. We were at some friends' house and she fell off their plastic climbing thing flat onto her back. She didn't even cry right away so I knew it was bad. Afterwards, her left leg was giving out underneath her. It was terrifying and on a weekend. The after hours nurse said she didn't have any concussion symptoms, but we woke her up a couple times overnight to make sure. She was very confused about that, but fine physically. I was a mess, though.
September 16, 2011 at 8:52 am
The last time that I got the wind knocked out of me was –
Realizing I could be pregnant, having a positive test, and simultaneous dawning of the fact that I had taken the complete dose of Clomid
September 16, 2011 at 9:27 am
It's about 2 weeks short of 5 years ago…and I'm still angry about it.
September 16, 2011 at 10:27 am
Actually it was yesterday. I recently became a doula and was visiting with my first client – she was being induced, but then they turned it off at night so we could all get some sleep and have turned everything back on now. In any case, I posted to my Facebook that I was at the hospital with her "doing my doula thing", and the first person to like it was my favorite midwife (who helped deliver Tzipora). I haven't heard from her in months and was happily shocked to see her "like". 🙂
September 16, 2011 at 4:11 pm
Oooh. I wish there were something I could say to make the drive-by less punched-in-the-gutty. {{{{BabySmiling}}}}
For me, figuratively, it was last month when Melissa (Our Full Circle) told me her husband had died suddenly. My knees buckled and I had to remember to inhale.
I can't remember having the wind literally knocked out of me. Probably a flag football game 10 years or so ago.
September 18, 2011 at 6:10 pm
The first miscarriage knocked the figurative wind out of me, but strangely enough, not the second, which was more cruel, since it was 8 weeks in. I think I was more prepared for the eventuality the second time. But I had the wind knocked out of me a couple of times while learning to paddleboard in Hawaii. It was an amazing experience, and made me realize that I really should take the risk of learning to do something new with my body every year.
September 20, 2011 at 6:29 am
Literally, would be Tommy kicking me while I changed his diaper. He's known for that. I cringe sometimes when I change that kids diaper. Thank goodness he is interested in using the potty these days. Sorry to hear about your figurative kick in the gut.
September 27, 2011 at 3:06 pm
I suppose it was finding out we were expecting twins while Nav was deployed and we were preparing to move across country. Nothing like a triple whammy to get your heart racing.
October 5, 2011 at 5:24 pm
Oh my, I might still make the October intelligentsia, even though I don't really know what to write as I start answering this question and I really need to go to sleep…
Literally probably, as someone else describes above, when my toddler kicks me in the stomach when I change his diaper – but since I'm pregnant again I do my best to avoid that (which works, although diaper changing has become more of a wrestling game at times).
Figuratively seeing a photo of my mom a few months after her death, on which she was so alive and looking me straight in the eye.

Many who are new to mindfulness/meditation practice have questions about the relationship between Buddhism and meditation; after all, there are many, many different types of meditation, and not all of them are connected with Buddhism. Mindfulness meditation practice does have a significant Buddhist heritage, however, and it's helpful to explore what this means -- and what it does not mean.
What it does mean is that we can get a clearer understanding of the development and reasons for our meditation practices if we study the principles of Buddhism. What it does not mean is that people who practice mindfulness meditation are or must be Buddhists. Some are formal members of Buddhist sanghas or schools of Buddhism; most are not. Many who practice mindfulness meditation are non-theists, agnostics, and/or Christians, Jews, or followers of other religions. Mindfulness meditation Is open to all and potentially of benefit to all.
Understanding the above, here is a brief introduction to the history and ideas of Buddhism, especially as they are relevant to the practice of mindfulness meditation:
This introduction to Buddhist thinking is intended for those who practice mindfulness meditation, and who want to learn more about the Buddhist teachings that gave rise to our contemporary mindfulness-meditation practices.
Who was the man we call "The Buddha"? Did the person depicted in the stories and sutras ever exist? We can't know for sure. The historical figure we read about, study, and learn from may or may not have been an individual human being -- much as with the search for the "historical Jesus," scholars have looked carefully at all available ancient documents to determine whether the man described in the oldest Buddhist texts and sutras was a single, identifiable man, but, given the time period we are talking about (approximately 6th century B.C.E.), there is nothing to tell us with any certainty, one way or another.
But this is not a problem. There is nothing in Buddhist teaching that depends on the reality of any one man, no matter how wise, no matter how revolutionary his discoveries and teachings may have been. Buddhism is not "about" the Buddha. Buddhism is "about" the teachings.
The legend of the Buddha is a simple story. Sometime around the 6th century B.C.E., during a time of huge intellectual ferment, when humans were moving out of their lives in small tribes and communities, and when great thinkers, writers, and teachers were creating philosophical systems, world religions, new political systems, poetry, and dramatic works, a prince was born in India. His family was extremely wealthy, and they coddled and protected him and shielded him from the harsh truths of everyday human life. Eventually he rebelled against this form of benign imprisonment, left home, and began to live as an itinerant monk within the contemporary Hindu culture. Out on the streets of the villages, he immediately encountered that which his family had prevented him from seeing: old age, sickness, suffering, and death.
These realities of human life shook him to the core, and he spent the rest of his life working to find ways to eliminate or minimize the suffering of all beings. Once he had found what he believed was the cause and the way to the end of suffering, he taught others what he had learned. Around this teacher and his students arose a huge world-wide religion (or philosophical system) with many branches. We are the beneficiaries of all who came before us in this lineage.
The two central and fundamental teachings of Buddhism are: The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.
The Four Noble Truths are: (1) There is suffering in our lives; (2) This suffering has a cause or causes; (3) This suffering has a cure; and (4) The cure for this suffering is the Eightfold Path.
The Eightfold Path is a system of developing our minds, our attitudes, and our behavior in ways that are beneficial to ourselves and others. There are three general areas into which the eight branches of the path are organized: Wisdom, Ethics, and Meditation.
The cultivation of Wisdom consists of "Right View" and "Right Intention." This means that we understand the truth of the Four Noble Truths, and we fully intend to follow the Eightfold Path.
The cultivation of Ethics (or Morality) is practiced by engaging in "Right Speech," "Right Action," and "Right Livelihood." We are careful with our speech and our behavior, and we engage in a livelihood that does not cause or contribute to the suffering of others.
The cultivation of Meditation consists of "Right Effort" (we choose to be awake and aware), "Right Mindfulness" (we clearly see and accept all phenomena that arise), and "Right Concentration" (we practice mental stability and focus).
What is the point of all this? It is that, as a result of understanding and practicing these two fundamental teachings, we begin to better understand reality and the causes of (and remedies for) our suffering and the suffering of all beings. The (perhaps non-intuitive) idea is that our misunderstanding of the nature of reality is directly responsible for our fears and sorrows; it colors our lives and prevents us from experiencing joy and freedom.
The nature of reality is that everything we experience (including what we call the "self") is ephemeral and impermanent. These are the "Marks of Existence": "non-self and impermanence." Absolutely everything, including the entity that I label my "self," is in a process of arising and disintegrating; nothing is solid and nothing is permanent. In fact, I am not an entity or a thing: I am a process, and so are you. And, because the process is always ongoing, suffering arises; we crave and cling to that which we love, and we grieve its passing. Moreover, we experience hatred, anger, and aversion toward that which gives us discomfort and grief. We take it all very personally. We experience the "Three Poisons": greed/clinging, hatred/anger, and confusion/delusion (we fail or refuse to see things clearly).
Suffering comes from our addiction to wanting things to be different than they are. It is the belief that "I cannot be happy unless X, or Y, or Z happens." It is the compulsion to change other people and situations over which we have no control. This is what we call "delusion" or failure/refusal to see things clearly. The antidote is to take a deep breath, look at things clearly, and accept reality. This is what the Eightfold Path is all about.
When the Buddha finally came to what he saw was an understanding of human suffering and its relief, others around him began to notice that he was a different man; there was something about him that they wished to understand and to emulate. The legend tells us that other monks asked him, in wonder: "Who are you?" And his response was simple and intriguing; he said: "I am awake."
Buddhist practice is very much about waking up, and maintaining calm, clear, compassionate wakefulness in the face of all we experience. Our strong tendency in life is to live in what Tara Brach aptly calls a "trance state" of heedlessness, being lost in trains of thought that amount to what we call "monkey mind" -- jabbering commentary on the past, repeatedly "planning" the future, and all the while sleep-walking through life.
Being awake, aware, and seeing things clearly is a way to break free from the prison of habit, impulse, compulsive behaviors, and maladaptive thoughts, painful memories, and illusory fears and regrets -- all of which flourish while we are in a heedless trance state, or "just going with the flow." Wisdom comes from clarity and kindness, and from understanding "karma," i.e.: cause and effect are clear.
When we resist and fight with reality, we get hurt (and others do, as well).
This is why we practice meditation, and this is why we say that meditation is an "awareness practice" (and not what some call "breathing practice.") We do not need to practice breathing; but we do need to practice waking up to reality, seeing ourselves and our behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and impulses clearly and with kindness. We do need to practice observing our world clearly and with kind acceptance, including our physical sensations and including all those we encounter in our lives.
In meditation practice we encounter ourselves: our habitual tendencies, our impulses, the stories we tell ourselves, the way our stories manipulate us, and the way our impulses come dressed up in compelling stories. When we sit still with this mental and emotional spectacle, viewing it all with curiosity and kindness and a certain amount of humor, we gain wisdom and clarity, and it becomes easier to resist the allure of greed, anger, and delusion. We see it come and go. We recognize how ephemeral and transitory these stories and impulses really are. We become willing to let all that drama slide on past, and we more often choose attitudes and actions that are of benefit to ourselves and others.

Synopsis by Jonathan Crow
Andrew Kam directs this hard-boiled cop thriller set in the Philippines. Short-fused Hong Kong cop Chiang Ho-wa (Donnie Yen) who is sent to the Philippines to retrieve a notorious criminal. There he runs into Dick (Roy Cheung), a murderous criminal who happened to kill Chiang's wife. Chiang teams up with Edu (Edu Manzano) -- a straight laced local officier. While Chiang is a loose cannon not adverse to reeking havoc -- including starting a pub brawl -- to attain his goal, Edu does his police work strictly by the book. In spite of personal friction and cultural barriers, two soon learn that Dick is in cahoots with local bigwig Cardosa in a massive counterfeiting ring. They also learn that the dastardly Dick is about to dissolve their partnership by killing Cardosa and framing Chiang for the crime.

Case study
Using the Water Kiosk to Increase Access to Water for the Urban Poor in Kenya
This case study examines the effort by the government of Kenya to increase the ability of the urban poor to access clean water and sanitation facilities. Drawing on the experiences of Zambia and Burkina Faso, Kenya established the Water Services Trust Fund, a pro-poor basket-funding mechanism to support pilot programs using water kiosks, a low-cost technology for providing clean, safe water. Development partners were convinced to shift their investments from large-scale infrastructure projects to the Trust Fund.

How to Shape an Enabling Environment for Sustainable Water Service Delivery in Nigeria
This case study examines urban water service delivery reform in Nigeria using qualitative research methods that include a review of relevant project documentation, a literature review on water reform and governance issues in Nigeria, and process tracing (collecting primary source qualitative data through semi-structured interviews). In 2004, the federal government of Nigeria joined with the World Bank to address the institutional weaknesses of urban water utilities under the National Urban Water Sector Reform Project (NUWSRP1).

How to Scale Up Rural Sanitation Service Delivery in Indonesia
How did Indonesia provide 25 million rural people with access to improved sanitation in the last decade? Was its paradigm shift—from subsidizing the purchase of latrines to changing people's behavior—responsible for its success? This case study tracks how the government and development partners introduced community-led total sanitation and developed total sanitation and sanitation marketing.

so this week we took our youngest daughter to college. we stuffed all of her belongings into our SUV, decorated the dorm room, paid the tuition, took a selfie and off we went. it stung like hell as i fought back tears while walking back across campus to the car.
it was one of those moments. the kind that sear into the memory. an end and a beginning all wrapped into one. epic. empty. full. all mixed up. back and forth.
don't most journeys begin that way? a delightful mix of expectancy and pure terror…. sprinkled with plenty of doubts. i think my daughter and i both felt that way. because we are both at a beginning of sorts. a starting point. a place where nothing is certain and we need to wait for life to take shape.
something about beginnings makes me hold my breath. eyes big and wondering.
knowing i don't know yet , what i don't know.
but it's okay. because adventure and risk never promise a sure thing.
instead they open the heart and soul. stretching the muscle and fiber of who we are- and the capacity we can discover within. it's in each of us, sometimes buried deep in the marrow of us. but it's there.
it might look different for each of us… giving up addictions, taking a new job, moving, letting yourself be seen, starting , ending.
and starting lines are the same for ALL of us. whether young or old, expert or novice…the starting line is level ground. shrouded with hesitation and resolve in the same breath. so let's begin. let's discover.
let's listen to the beautiful and mysterious whisper of God, calling us to live fully and try new paths. even if we get tripped up or lost a bit. let's not choose "easy" or be tempted to give up.
choose to press in instead. be curious. choose to see with eyes wide open. choose to take those first awkward steps in a new direction. be brave … and oh yeah, don't forget to breathe.
happy january.
"there's beauty all around our paths, if but our watchful eyes can trace it midst familiar things, and through their lowly guise" Felicia D Hemans
for my daddy who always planted seeds of wonder and adventure in my soul, and who always reminded me that "beginning is halfway there". i miss you everyday. happy birthday. and for Maddie who is just beginning to begin…breathe deep and just take one step at a time." you got this."

By Dr David Laing Dawson
Each day the newspapers, CNN, Google, these last few days, headline the question of motive for the most recent mass shooting in Texas. Little has been released save the man's name and a bit of background, presumably because there are multiple "crime scenes" to be investigated first.
But what struck me was this hunger for motive, for reasons and explanations. We need the reassurance of specificity, of explanation, of cause and effect. We need to understand. And we want to understand in a manner that will reassure us that we are not vulnerable; that we will not find ourselves at either end of that rifle.
But it is also a way of deflecting from some uncomfortable answers, some simpler explanations. So I thought I would take it upon myself to spell those out once again.
This man was angry and depressed and he had a loaded gun in his car. Obviously he was angry, and depressed because he would know as we do that taking that action is suicidal.
Why angry and depressed?
Does it matter? Lost a job? Lost a partner? Developing mental illness? Years of grievances? Broke? Friendless? Paranoid?
There are many people driving around or sitting in chairs angry and depressed.
It's the loaded gun that makes the difference between getting a ticket, having your car impounded and taking a taxi, breaking down and crying at the side of the road, railing at the cops, being reminded of the unfairness of life, and what actually transpired that morning in Texas.

Karachi, In the Indian domestic T20 league, IPL franchisers remember Pakistani cricketers. Due to tense political situation between the two countries, Pakistani cricketers did not make the part of the IPL after 2008. A research website has done a survey if there would not be any problem to include Pakistani players in IPL then whose cricketer will get more attention.
It is interesting to say that Shadab Khan is the most demanding player. He has wonderful googly spin bowling, very confident batting and the quick fielding helped him to get the demand of 5 to 6 Indian rupees. Muhammad Amir, who has done his comeback in the Pakistani national team but did not show the wonderful performance but the IPL franchisers have shown the interest in him. They showed the possible bid of 3 to 6 crore Indian rupees.
The hero of Pakistani champions trophy, Hassan Ali is on the third number as the most demanding Pakistani cricketer. If he is given the chance, then the Indian franchisers will give 3 to 5 crore Indian rupees. The experienced and most talented Pakistani all rounder, Shoaib Malik will also get the attention of the Indian franchisers. Faheem Ashraf shows the wonderful bowling and the aggressive batting and he is also included in the list of the Pakistani players, who will be included in the list of the IPL possible players.

The governess in the Sulzbach family in Frankfurt during the early 20th century was Gertrude Stone. Born in Gloucester on 9 June 1870, she was nearly thirty years old when Herbert reached his sixth birthday. Emil and Julie Sulzbach were keen for their children to be fluent in English (and French) and Gertrude ('Nini') was employed by them until war broke out in 1914.
Herbert finished his schooling at the Goethe Gymnasium in 1913 – and Miss Stone wept when he failed his Abitur, the final school exam. He then went for a three month trip to Italy and northern Africa with his tutor. He returned on Nini's 43rd birthday, shortly after writing both to his parents and his governess.
'I wrote to Nini to thank her for all the trouble that she took for my sake during my years at the Gymnasium. I think with pleasure of the times after our meals when I sat with her keeping an eye, telling her things, and cursing about Homer, history and French. Yes, I will miss that when I am back home and sitting behind a desk.'
Miss Stone stayed with the family until August 1914, mainly helping Herbert's older, newly-married sister to set up her home. She was a welcome member of the family/household – in the same way that all governesses of the period really belonged to neither.
Herbert's father bought her a guest house in Bayswater, London, to manage when war made it unwise for her to stay in Germany. She later married Reginald Booker and they lived in a large old house, The Priory, in Steventon, Berkshire.
In 1935, Herbert visited Mrs Booker with his wife and sister-in-law, and when the Sulzbachs were forced to flee to England shortly afterwards she helped them with money, accommodation and references. During the Second World War she let out rooms at The Priory 'to people from unsafe areas' and Herbert's wife lived there for a short while when released from internment.
Reginald Booker died in 1941, and Gertrude moved to a smaller house in Steventon with her brother. She died on 29 March 1958, aged nearly 88.

The Internet is replete with great marketing options. Video marketing is perhaps the most highly effective. You can use these videos to help you spread the message of your company. The tips that are below are going to help you get started.
Make sure that you keep generating new video content regularly. Constantly uploading videos is key to retaining your viewers. This also increases your exposure on the Internet and draws in new viewers.
Production value is not the most important consideration in producing your video marketing content. Having a good looking video with no good information is worthless. Even big companies, such as Dell, have struck gold using simple demos produced by individual employees.
Create interesting content. Your video should catch people's attention. All the views in the world won't help you if you content is lousy. Something that provides great information or entertainment is best. The more interesting your content, the more viewers you are going to get.
Video Marketing
Do not place the brunt of video marketing on your shoulders. Many times it is very hard to visualize ideas for your video marketing. Try to brainstorm with people around you so that you can generate a few new ideas. Try to keep up with creative sessions like these, to maintain a strong presence in your niche.
Get personal with your videos. Video taping the effort that goes into making your products will give consumers a behind-the-scenes look at your operations that they'll appreciate. Folks are sure to appreciate seeing your business from a personal perspective.
Determine which questions are most frequently asked about your product and make a video to answer them. Sometimes webmasters will make a separate FAQ page on their website. Another alternative is to produce a video that answers these questions. By doing this, your customers don't have to read over your website if they don't want to. They can choose the learning method they desire.
Video marketing can get the word out about your website or your social media page. If a viewer stumbles across your work on YouTube, they may not know where else to find you. They will begin to create a feedback loop of self-promotion. Linking all of your business related sites together can really make things much easier for your viewers.
You are dreaming if you think you can upload a video to YouTube and it will go viral all by itself. You need to get it out there using social media and email marketing. This will give people a heads up to check out your video, otherwise, you will have to wait for people to accidentally stumble upon it.
Consider purchasing a tripod in order to make your videos appear professional. Shaky cameras are only for scary movies! For your videos, you'll need a steady camera with good angle work. You only have a few seconds in which to convince viewers that it is worthwhile to watch your video, so make the most of those seconds!
Share your video as much as you can. Email it to friends and family. Make a blog post about it on your site. Spread the word among current customers with a physical mailing or through email. Post it on YouTube, Facebook and other video hosting sites. Spread the news!
Each and every video should include a clear call to action at some point. Let people know that they need to get to buying in a hurry. Have concise and clear instructions in the upcoming step to be sure they follow it as soon as they can. Videos should always end with a strong, compelling call to action.
Video Marketing
Your reach is worldwide with video marketing. You can reach beyond your locality with video marketing. Anyone who has a smart phone or computer can watch online videos. Apply what you've just learned, and start your video marketing campaign now.

The Bugatti Chiron, like the Veyron before it, is a marvel of modern technology. With its 8.0-liter, quad-turbocharged W16, it makes an astounding 1,479 hp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. Bugatti estimates it'll get to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds. Like we said, a marvel or modern technology.

Everything Lele Pons Has Done By The Age Of 20 Will Make You F*cking Weep
26 April 2017, 15:50 | Updated: 17 July 2017, 12:25
Obviously she doesn't sleep.
Whether you were following Lele Pons from the start of her Vine career, heard about her thanks to the Amanda Cerny drama or have somehow landed on this page and have no clue how you ended up here, ; there's probably some essential Lele Pons info that you're going to want to know. But don't worry, we're about to fill you in - you know, just in case you end up on a Vine version of Mastermind one day.
Lele's real name is Elenora Pons and she was born in Venezuela in 1996.
Lele's family then moved from Venezuela to Miama in the United States when she was five years old.
Lele started using Vine when she was just 15 and uploaded her first video on 23rd April 2013.
And you can watch it by clicking right here.
In an interview with Teen Vogue, she revealed she was bullied pretty badly in high school.
"I went to high school and I started getting bullied because I was very weird. I mean, freshman year I went to school in a pirate suit—I just didn't care. I'm not like the cool girls—I'm the other girl. The one that's basically a nerd, but proud of that."
Lele was the first person ever to reach one billion loops on Vine.
The fact she did this at just 18 years old will probably make you feel like you've achieved nothing in your short life (You have. Just not that).
Like most social media stars, Lele has released a book... And of course it instantly became a New York Times best-seller.
Surviving High School is described as a "charming debut novel about the ups and downs of high school that's as laugh-out-loud addictive as her popular videos."
Finally, Lele is also getting a whole lot of attention offline.
As well as appealing in one of Blink 182's music videos, she also walked the catwalk for D&G; alongside Marcus Butler and Jim Chapman.
Inspired you to go and take on the world? Or exhausted just reading this? Either way, you've got to admit it's pretty impressive.

What To Look Out For In Classic Cars For Sale
Determining the market value of Classic cars for sale is very important when you consider buying or selling one. Failure to do this may make you to undersell or overpay as the case may be. And one of the ways to know the market value is by checking publications like the Old Car Buyers Guide, Collectible and Special Interest Car Appraisal Guide, NADA's Classic and so on. You will discover the pricing of the cars according to their value using groupings which is based on the conditions of the car. These conditions range from immaculate to basket case.
To evaluate Classic cars for sale and establish the category that they fit into, you have to rate each of them on the points that would be discussed on a scale of five where five is the maximum. These points are as follow. Firstly, inspect the exterior of the car and rate it. What you should be looking out for are body, doors, hood and trunk, and the top. To inspect the body, stand in front of the headlights and taillight separately with a distance of two to three feet so that you can see the side panels at a unique angle to inspect any sign of bulges, waves or a poorly done repair. Try using a magnet over the different parts of the body so as to check for any sign of damage, body filler, and rust area. Also check for paint blisters for rust. Check the wheels, the headlights area, and the rocker panels of each of the Classic cars for sale and note the points that they have. Check the door to see any sign of sagging when the doors are opened. Also check the bottom edges to see any sign of paint blisters which is an indication of rust. Now look for any sign of cracking or aging in the weather seals at the windows and doors area.
For the hood and trunk check the hood for any rippling, underlying rust, or dent. Also check the top of the car for any damage, dent or any abnormality. These will help you to know the wellbeing of the car. Another thing to do is to inspect and rate the glass, trim, and paint of the Classic cars for sale. Check if the finish of each car mirrors a dull, or a high gloss, smooth, or peel texture. You can know if the car has been repainted by looking at the inside of the hood and trunk or the doorjambs. Check out for factory marks on the glass. Any mark shows that the glass is original. Check if there is any sign of crack, leakages on the dash or around the rear window. Also check the interior of the Classic cars for sale to know how sturdy each of the cars is.
Check the dashboard and instrument panel, the Upholstery, Interior trim, and floor covering. Ensure that as you are checking, you are writing down all the points. After checking all the interior and exterior of the car, calculate the points and check it against a one hundred percentage. This would help you to know how valuable the Classic cars for sale are. Note that there are about 6,500 Classic cars for sale that are available on Old Rider Trader and Free Classic Cars Auto Trader. You can buy or trade other items such as antique, vintage, and other exotic cars from them.

The closed-loop process control, real-time seal-process monitoring with data logging, helps you set process parameters and achieve acceptable quality seals in a matter of minutes. The hybrid generator uses an AGC to maintain exact RF power at all times, which eliminates process variations during validation.
The RF sealing of the bag takes place in the 1st station, the inlet and outlet ports were RF sealed in the 1st cycle and the perimeter RF seal in the second. After completing the RF sealing cycle the dial indexes and the print press extends down to transfer the ink from the blue ink ribbon onto the bag top layer. The print cliche is mounted onto the 275°F heated upper platen. The center of the die has special support plate to make sure the ink is distributed evenly on the bag surface.

Author(s): Jonathan Miles
From Peter the Great to Putin, this is the unforgettable story of St Petersburg - one of the most magical, menacing and influential cities in the world. St Petersburg has always felt like an impossible metropolis, risen from the freezing mists and flooded marshland of the River Neva on the western edge of Russia. It was a new capital in an old country. Established in 1703 by the sheer will of its charismatic founder, the homicidal megalomaniac Peter-the-Great, its dazzling yet unhinged reputation was quickly fashioned by the sadistic dominion of its early rulers. This city, in its successive incarnations - St Petersburg; Petrograd; Leningrad and, once again, St Petersburg - has always been a place of perpetual contradiction. It was a window on to Europe and the Enlightenment, but so much of the glory of Russia was created here: its literature, music, dance and, for a time, its political vision. It gave birth to the artistic genius of Pushkin and Dostoyevsky, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, Pavlova and Nureyev. Yet, for all its glittering palaces, fairytale balls and enchanting gardens, the blood of thousands has been spilt on its snow-filled streets. It has been a hotbed of war and revolution, a place of siege and starvation, and the crucible for Lenin and Stalin's power-hungry brutality. In St Petersburg, Jonathan Miles recreates the drama of three hundred years in this absurd and brilliant city, bringing us up to the present day, when - once more - its fate hangs in the balance. This is an epic tale of murder, massacre and madness played out against squalor and splendour. It is an unforgettable portrait of a city and its people.
"Of all cities St Petersburg is most like a novel. Conceived in the mind of a Tsar like a writer might give birth to a book,it has never ceased to be relentlessly dramatic, as if being like a novel is its destiny. Miles tells the tale magnificently." -- PETER POMERANTSEV, bestselling author of Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible
Cultural historian Jonathan Miles has a personal engagement with St Petersburg and its people that dates back to the Soviet era. Born in a trunk, Jonathan has been travelling ever since and currently lives in Paris. Having taken a first from University College, London, he received his doctorate from Jesus College, Oxford. Early books include studies of British artists Eric Gill and David Jones. Most recently, Medusa, The Shipwreck, the Scandal and the Masterpiece, a voyage through the artistic, political and moral clashes of Restoration France, and Nine Lives of Otto Katz, the tale of a flamboyant Soviet spy, were both published to international acclaim.

I have a couple early food memories around squash.
One is Grandpa Z's zucchini. He would grow them bigger than our dachshund.
He would slice them into half-inch rounds, batter and fry them. Oooh mama, those were some good eatin'. Summertime at the grandparents house was fun and tasty.
I can still see Grandpa Z holding up one of his big zucchini, huge grin on his face.
The second memory is my mom's favorite way to prepare squash – split in half, scoop out the innards, bake with a …

I have just discovered that I had the wrong information in the above post concerning the time allowed to exchange a drivers licence. Please note that this applies only to non EU licences. Instead of 6 months as I originally stated, a driver must exchange his licence within three months of obtaining residence in Portugal. However, the non EU driver may drive in Portugal for up to 6 months after his entry in Portugal as long as he is not a resident.
For this error, I apologise with all my heart. I have now edited the original post to give the correct information.

The Unlikeable Demon Hunter
Deborah Wilde
Bridesmaids meets Buffy with a dash of the seven deadly sins.
The age-old story of what happens when a foul-mouthed, romance impaired heroine with no edit button and a predilection for hot sex is faced with her worst nightmare–a purpose.
Ari Katz is intelligent, driven, and will make an excellent demon hunter once initiated into the Brotherhood of David. However, this book is about his twin Nava: a smart-ass, self-cultivated hot mess, who is thrilled her brother is stuck with all the chosen one crap.
When Nava half-drunkenly interrupts Ari's induction ceremony, she expects to be chastised. What she doesn't expect is to take her brother's place among the–until now–all-male demon hunters. Even worse? Her infuriating leader is former rock star Rohan Mitra.
Too bad Rohan's exactly what Nava's always wanted: the perfect bad boy fling with no strings attached, because he may also be the one to bring down her carefully erected emotional shields. That's as dangerous as all the evil fiends vying for the bragging rights of killing the only female ever chosen for Demon Club.
Odds of survival: eh.
Odds of having a very good time with Rohan before she bites it: much better.
I am organizing a sale blitz for The Unlikeable Demon Hunter by Deborah Wilde, an 18+ Urban Fantasy Romance novel. The blitz is on August 18th, you can post at any time on this day. There will be excerpts available for your post, and every participant will be able to post the blitz-wide giveaway if you wish – giveaway prize(s) courtesy of author. Social media sites are welcome.
An email with the complete post info including promo items and giveaway details will be sent to all participants 3 days ahead.

This cute and coastal project was another new home construction project for a spec home with custom home builder McGregor Homes. The goal was to add tons of charm and character rarely seen in new construction today. It was another 30A inspired home with that casual, warm feel coming through in the site finished hardwood floors, the hand-selected lighting, and the gray stained custom cabinetry. Now if only the Gulf of Florida wasn't 970 miles away.
"Kelsey Leigh Design knew what I wanted without me knowing how to describe it. I am so pleased with her ability to zero in on my needs and tastes. My home feels like ME and yet, I never could have made it look like this! She is affordable, personable, prompt, and with me every step of the way. She made a process I was dreading actually enjoyable and fun... what can I re-do next? :) I cannot recommend Kelsey highly enough and will always call her for all of my design projects in the future!"

Skincare Products To Use With A Derma Roller
A derma roller is a skin care product that has a rolling barrel with fine needles. It's a safe and effective product that can be used in salons and at homes. The method of skin treatment using a derma roller is also called microneedling and is of great use in treating and healing a variety of skin problems. As the fine needles puncture the top layer of the skin, it stimulates collagen and elastin growth in the skin.
How does dermarolling or microneedling work?
A derma roller works by needles penetrating the skin's surface, which leads to the breakdown of the scar tissue or collagen. As a result, blood flow is improved and it leads to formation of new skin tissue. It also strengthens the collagen and reduces scars. A Derma Roller is used to treat fine lines and mild acne scarring, hyper pigmentation, improving the skin texture and enhancing the penetration of the skincare products to give you radiant and rejuvenated skin.
To make the most of the derma roller treatment, it's crucial to use the right skincare products in order to reduce fine lines, refine pores, reduce acne and other skin problems. It's best to use a combination of a retinol serum, Vitamin C serum and a growth factor serum. It's best to use all three of these skincare products for best results while using the derma roller. Here are some points to keep in mind when using these products:
- 1. Use Vitamin C serum in the morning in combination with a sunscreen as it protects the skin against the harsh UV rays and sun and also stimulates the production of collagen.
- 2. While using the derma roller, use the Growth Factor serum as it boosts the cell turnover time and improves the thickness of the skin. It's a great way to restore the luminosity of the skin. Though, for quicker and best results you can even use the Growth factor serum twice a day.
- 3. After you're done with the rolling use a retinol and a moisturiser. Though, you can even use it at night.
In case you have skin pigmentation issues, you must use pigmentation lining serum while rolling. Don't forget to use vitamin C in the morning though and retinol after the rolling.
You'll be able to yield the best of the dermaroller results only if you use high-quality products to complement the treatment. Make your choices carefully and invest in professional serums only.

Martin Luther King once said that he dreamed of a world where we judged people based on the content of their character, not the colour of their skin. Sadly we still have yet to enter that world. But what is character? Character is what makes us who we are inside. When I read a book or watch a movie, what grabs me the most is how well developed the characters are.
When writers create a story, we have to create good characters. They don't necessarily have to be likeable (my novella Psycho Girl is about a narcissistic psychopath), they just have to be well-fleshed-out and engaging. Engaging enough so that we can follow them on their journey through however many pages/episodes/minutes without getting bored or disinterested.
I think the best kinds of stories are character driven; when the characters drive the narrative and are fully formed, the rest tends to follow. I am halfway through The Shining and the character development is miles better than the movie, which has little-to-no character development. Character and storytelling isn't really Kubrick's forte, he's more into the visual, which is why the only one of his films I truly love is A Clockwork Orange (although I don't mind Lolita and the first half of Full Metal Jacket). His movie of The Shining reads like a parody of the book to me, which explains why Stephen King was so pissed off (and I would have been too).
One of the millions of reasons why I (and so many across the world) love Game of Thrones is because of the characters. We like to see ourselves in people, and use them to relate to how we view the world and make sense of things. The best kinds of characters are flawed and realistic. Good people make bad decisions, bad people get themselves into trouble and don't always win. Humans are flawed and imperfect so why would we want to read/watch one-dimensional wholly evil or angelic beings?
Thinks about herself as a character in third person. Who is Zarina? Zarina is someone who loves to create; stories, poetry, songs, creative non-fiction. She plays guitar and the drum kit. She loves to read and is a big fan of Stephen King novels. She adores cats and cares for children and likes to lie in her bed watching Disney movies. She is kind and polite but can be brash and flippant and naive. She loves to swim and drink water and green tea but spurns coffee and coca-cola. She has an obsessive personality that can get overwhelming at times and causes her anxiety, but it can also be channeled wonderfully into whatever projects she sets her mind to.
Zarina could be white, black, Asian, mixed-raced, British, American, male, female, gay, straight, bisexual, poor or wealthy. None of that stuff matters. What matters is the person she is inside. What matters is the content of her character.
Wouldn't you agree?

Tribe Designation: Nuku
Age: 52
Hometown: San Francisco, Calif.
Previously Played On: Season 32: Kaoh Rong – 2nd Runner-up
How have you changed since the last time you played?
After playing and watching my season unfold, I am more aware and appreciative of how complex SURVIVOR is. I see my pitfalls and how I can improve. It's a delicate balance of being true to oneself and developing trust and friendships, while at the same time knowing who I think I can beat at the end. I hope I have not become jaded or less trustful now. Each game is unique with its own dynamics and I just need to be open and see where it takes me. I need the knowledge from my past season, but not baggage. SURVIVOR is so great and winning is my ultimate goal.
What are you most proud of from the last time?
Blindsiding Scot/Jason and sending Scot home. I am proud that I broke away from their alliance to have a voice and played my own game. Deciding on my own destiny resulted in making the final three. And yes, I am so happy to have saved Mark the chicken. I worked really hard foraging for food so others didn't eat him. I am also proud to bring awareness to how we humans need to take care of our environment and have compassion for other living things.
What, if anything, do you most regret?
I regret not managing the jury better, and not being able to articulate, own and defend all that I accomplished during the game. I regret spending so much time and energy providing for camp which took me away from the game play. Toward the end, I was completely depleted which affected how I played and performed at the final Tribal.
How will you play differently this time?
I am much more confident about the game now. I know I have a lot to offer and I can get along with everyone, now it's time to create strong relationships. It's good to have friends in both alliance and jury. I will be much more observant and aware of my position within the rest of the tribe. I need to be more flexible and fluid in this ever-changing game of strategy, focusing on the bigger picture of winning the game rather than personal friendships. Most of all I would like to be myself, take risks and have fun hanging with all these big SURVIVOR legends.

Portlaoise man allegedly assaulted partner
A Portlaoise man has been charged with assaulting his ex-partner.
At last week's Portlaoise District Court, Philip Ryan (44), Maglona Terrace, Portlaoise, was charged with assault causing harm, at the same address, on June 28 this year.
Inspector Eamonn Curley gave evidence that it was alleged that a woman had been assaulted by her ex-partner following a verbal disagreement.
It is alleged the accused punched her a number of times to the head and pulled her hair, before he dragged her by the ankles and kneed her in the face.
The woman suffered injuries including bruising and a laceration to her lip.
After the outline of the alleged evidence Judge Catherine Staines refused jurisdiction, meaning the matter will go forward to the circuit court.
Insp Curley said the State was requesting six weeks to prepare a book of evidence.
The matter was put back to December 14 for the book of evidence, with legal aid assigned to solicitor, Mr Barry Fitzgerald.
